Chapter 10

As Qin Yishi's gaze fell upon him, Qin Hongren's body trembled, as if a venomous snake had slithered up his back.

Such a bloody scene was rare in his life, and at this moment, he felt as if his throat was being tightly choked.

"Everyone here, sever one of your arms. I am going to the Ten Mile Pavilion." Qin Yishi took a step forward.

His arrogant and domineering tone made everyone tremble with anger.

"Qin Yishi! Do you think that just because you've regained some strength, you can do as you please?" Qin Hongren shouted, his voice growing louder, revealing his inner panic.

He couldn't understand how Qin Yishi, who was merely at the Flesh Refinement stage twenty days ago, could display such formidable power today!

A single palm strike that flattened the iron hammer into an iron plate—two of himself combined might not have been able to do it!

"Could this boy have already recovered his strength and even advanced, but was just hiding it all along?" This thought flashed through Qin Hongren's mind, and he broke out in a cold sweat. "If that's true, this boy is too cunning and knows too many secrets. He must not be allowed to live!"

With this thought, Qin Hongren's murderous intent flared up.

"You can try my strength yourself." Qin Yishi showed no fear, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light. "Your son, who relies on the Flame Gathering Pill, is not even a match for me, even if there were a hundred of him."

"Qin Yishi! I'll kill you!" Qin Hongren kicked off with both legs, spreading his arms wide like a great roc spreading its wings. The muscles in his arms bulged, as if a volcano was about to erupt inside them.

At the Blood Sacrifice stage, the entire body's blood is renewed, and the internal strength can flow freely throughout the body, capable of tearing apart tigers with bare hands and splitting stone steles with a single palm. Qin Hongren was even a high-level expert at the second layer of the Blood Sacrifice stage!

The sweat-blooded horse under him couldn't even withstand the force of his kick, neighing and falling heavily to the ground.

Qin Hongren roared, like a hunting eagle, and with the speed of lightning, he appeared above Qin Yishi. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he clawed down at Qin Yishi's head, determined to rip open his skull!

A vortex of air condensed above Qin Yishi's head, like a mountain pressing down and a giant wave roaring, making his hair fly wildly and his clothes flutter.

"Nine Dragons Coiling Flame!" Qin Yishi roared, charging forward to meet Qin Hongren. The Black Dragon Breaking Universe Force surged from his dantian like a flood, flowing through his arm and striking Qin Hongren's palm with the force of a full moon.

Bang—Boom!

The massive explosion rippled out in concentric circles, the neatly laid blue bricks on the road arching up and shattering into countless pieces, flying in all directions.

The power of the dragon, capable of swallowing the heavens and earth, was so overwhelming that even though Qin Yishi had only awakened the strength of one dragon, he was now able to contend with a fifth-layer Blood Sacrifice expert. Qin Hongren, at the second layer, felt his palm bones about to shatter, the intense pain spreading through his entire arm, and his internal organs felt as if they were being churned. The roar of a giant dragon in front of him made his heart tremble, and his soul seemed to scream and try to escape from the top of his head.

His body flew back like an arrow, and Qin Hongren retreated over ten steps, each step leaving a deep pit in the ground. He barely managed to stabilize himself, his internal energy and blood surging, and his vision blurred with pain.

"Good!" Qin Yishi felt a great release of pent-up anger. "The power of the Black Dragon Breaking Universe Force is indeed extraordinary. The strength of just one dragon is enough to gain the upper hand against Qin Hongren. If I awaken six or seven dragons, even the family head Qin Hongyi would not be my match. If I awaken ten dragons, no one in the entire Yuhua City would be my match! If all 180 million dragons were awakened, the power would be unimaginable!"

Taking advantage of this moment, Qin Yishi quickly ran the Eight Great Techniques to recover his body.

The recovery ability of the Eight Great Techniques surpassed all the medicinal pills he knew. In just a few breaths, the fatigue from the previous battle was completely gone, and he felt refreshed and invigorated.

Qin Hongren had also recovered his senses and looked at Qin Yishi with fear, unable to believe the reality: "This boy is at most at the Bone Refinement stage. How could he possibly suppress me? If he had such strength from the beginning, he wouldn't have agreed to let me revoke his admission twenty days ago..."

A bright idea suddenly flashed through Qin Hongren's mind: "Right! This boy hasn't been in the manor for twenty days. He must have had some extraordinary encounter or divine favor, obtaining a powerful pill or a miraculous cultivation technique. If I capture him now, before he reaches his peak, and force him to reveal his secret, my strength will surely advance greatly, and I might even become the family head in the future..."

Excitement filled Qin Hongren, and his previous dejection and fear vanished. He roared at the guards behind him, "What are you waiting for? Capture him! A thousand Flame Gathering Pills for each of you!"

The reward was doubled!

A thousand Flame Gathering Pills, if exchanged for the finest food, would be enough to sustain an ordinary family of three for twenty years!

A thousand Flame Gathering Pills could even allow a person born with a disability, with all their tendons and bones broken, to reconstruct their meridians and have a foundation for martial arts!

With such a generous reward, there would surely be brave men. As the saying goes, if the top is crooked, the bottom will be askew. These guards, under Qin Hongren's tyranny and temptation, had long lost their basic sense of shame. Hearing the promise of a thousand Flame Gathering Pills, they immediately disregarded Qin Yishi's status and, as servants, charged at him with weapons in hand.

One man cannot fight against many. Twenty days ago, you were just a destitute young master, not even as good as a slave in the Qin family. Today, you think you can defy the heavens?

"Good, good, good!"

Qin Yishi laughed in anger, saying "good" three times, and suddenly charged at the fifty guards. In a few steps, he was already among them.

He snatched a long spear from one of them and punched, splitting the man's body in two, blood raining down.

The long spear in his hand shot out like a bolt of lightning, tearing through the air with a whoosh and being thrown by Qin Yishi with great force.

The power of the dragon coursed through the spear, making it roar like a tiger and a dragon, terrifyingly powerful. It pierced through the armor and flesh of four guards, pinning them to the ground.

Bang, bang, bang... bang!

The air was torn apart, forming a vortex around Qin Yishi. With a loud boom, blood splattered, and over ten guards were thrown out of the vortex, their limbs severed, lying on the ground moaning.

As the vortex dissipated, Qin Yishi stood there, holding a snow-patterned steel saber, the blade curled and covered in blood, like a god of death. A ten-step radius around him was a circular area of blood.

Although he was alone, Qin Yishi's aura pressed down on the remaining dozens of people.

He was like an unstoppable giant war chariot, rolling over these guards!

"Black Dragon Breaking Universe Force, I must awaken all 180 million dragons as soon as possible. When that time comes, I will dominate the universe and turn the galaxy, without any difficulty!" Qin Yishi turned to face Qin Hongren.

Qin Hongren, who had been arrogant just moments ago, now had a face as white as paper, his lips devoid of color. When Qin Yishi's gaze fell upon him, his body trembled violently, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Qin Hongren, what do you have to say for yourself!" Qin Yishi kicked forward, covering the distance in an instant. The next moment, the blade was already above Qin Hongren's head!

The blade glinted, and Qin Hongren's mouth opened wide, his eyes filled with terror, his soul seemingly drained, and he had no strength to resist or flee.

"Ridiculous!"

A furious roar suddenly came from a distance, the sound like thunder, rolling and surging, almost tangible. It collided with the blade just as it was about to strike Qin Hongren's head, creating a spark and forcing Qin Yishi to retreat five steps, almost losing his grip on the saber.

"Qi manipulation, the Body Sacrifice stage, Qin Hongyi!" Qin Yishi looked up toward the distance.

A black dot rapidly approached, and in two breaths, it was already there. Qin Hongyi, dressed in a red cloak, stood in front of the trembling Qin Hongren, his face cold and resolute.

Qin Hongyi was tall and muscular, looking down at Qin Yishi from a height, his face as calm as water, his body as steady as a mountain, and a layer of windless air seemed to protect him.

"The Body Sacrifice stage, capable of manipulating qi into weapons, one person can match an army of a thousand well-equipped soldiers!" Qin Yishi looked at Qin Hongyi, licking his dry lips.

The pressure this man brought was ten times greater than all the others combined!
