Chapter 34: The Four Seasons Sword Technique

"Since that's the case, I'll wake these two women up and force them to reveal the cultivation method of the King-level technique, the Four Seasons Sword Technique."

Yang Qi nodded.

After all, when the enemy comes, we will resist; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Since the incident has already happened, there's no need to dwell on the previous mistakes. The correct path is to actively respond.

The top priority is to enhance one's strength.

The Four Seasons Sword Technique is a genuine King-level qi technique, surpassing the "Invincible King Fist." If Yang Zhan could obtain it, he could further consolidate his cultivation as a Qi Master.

Moreover, only by cultivating a King-level qi technique is it possible to reach the "Life Seizing Realm." Otherwise, it would be impossible to break through the Ninth Rank Qi Master and seize life from heaven.

As for Yang Qi, his desire for the "Four Seasons Sword Technique" was not very strong. He already had the "Divine Elephant Subduing Prison Technique," and there were many subtleties he had yet to comprehend. He had just awakened the power of two ancient elephants, making his qi technique surpass that of Yang Zhan, who had just ascended to the Qi Master realm. However, he was still at the Seventh Rank of qi technique and had not advanced.

This was due to insufficient comprehension of the realm.

At the Seventh Rank, qi can be condensed into various shapes, such as dragons, tigers, large hands, mountains, and rocks. But at the Eighth Rank, it becomes even more divine and wondrous, capable of condensing human-shaped true qi, locking souls from a thousand miles away, and possessing countless abilities.

This involves the transformation between true qi and the soul, requiring greater refinement.

However, Yang Qi was not in a hurry.

As long as the life essence of the "Thunder Giant Elephant" within him did not disappear, his cultivation could advance rapidly, bursting forth at any time. Of course, he knew that once the life essence was completely refined, the cultivation of the Divine Elephant Subduing Prison Technique would not progress so quickly, and it might even be more difficult than for ordinary people.

But that was a distant matter.

Focusing on the present was the right path.

He kicked the two women, sending a warm true qi into their bodies, warming their meridians and gradually waking them up.

"You Yang family have such audacity..."

As soon as the two women woke up, they struggled to get up, glaring fiercely at Yang Zhan, Yang Qi, and the others, and cursing angrily: "Do you think that by disabling our martial arts, everything will be fine? Let me tell you, this is a delusion. Our Spring and Autumn Sect has Life Seizing Realm experts who can help us restore our damaged qi seas."

"What? Life Seizing Realm experts can restore damaged qi seas?" Yang Qi was startled, but the two women were now in his hands, and any resistance would be futile.

He did not speak but instead grabbed a handful of true qi, searching the bodies of the other three men. Soon, some silver bills, pills, and several booklets fell into his hands.

However, these booklets were not the complete insights of the "Four Seasons Sword Technique," but rather the cultivation insights of these people, scattered and recorded like diaries.

"Speak! The cultivation method of your King-level qi technique, the Four Seasons Sword Technique, or I'll make you wish you were dead." Yang Qi flipped through the booklets, checking the silver bills, and found that they were quite valuable, amounting to two to three million Gathering Qi Pills.

Moreover, he found several demon cores on the three men, all of which were as valuable as the demon core of the white ape.

Another huge wealth.

This time, by raiding the Chen family, the Yang family had not only made up for all their losses but had also accumulated much more wealth than during their prime. Although they could not compare to the Yan family, the city lord, they could now recruit and expand their strength on a large scale.

"Out of the question! The Four Seasons Sword Technique is the ultimate qi technique of our Spring and Autumn Sect. How dare a small wealthy family like yours covet it?" one of the women sneered.

"Alright, Qi'er, your qi technique is profound, but your realm is insufficient. I have just ascended to the Qi Master realm and have gained some insights into the communication between qi and the soul. Let me try to force them to reveal it." Yang Zhan suddenly moved, and two human-shaped true qi figures emerged, directly entering the bodies of the two women.

Immediately, the two women seemed to be hypnotized, their eyes losing all their luster.

"I will ask you, what is the cultivation method of the Four Seasons Sword Technique?" Yang Zhan used his qi technique to hypnotize them and slowly asked, "Don't rush, just speak slowly and recite the incantations."

"Alright..."

The two women mechanically said, "The Four Seasons Sword Technique, spring, summer, autumn, winter, spring rain entwines, summer thunder is swift, autumn frost covers the ground, winter snow blankets the sky, taking the changes of the four seasons, walking the yin and yang meridians, storing primordial qi to form a spiritual seed, condensing the dantian to gather the qi sea, observing the arrival of spring, the sprouting of all things, the growth of the spiritual seed..."

The cultivation incantations were recited one by one, and Yang Qi, Yang Yunchong, Yang Hualong, and Yang Zhan listened very carefully.

Especially Yang Zhan, who was an expert in cultivation. Listening to the incantations of the King-level qi technique, the true qi in his body boiled, and his face glowed with a precious light, indicating that he had gained some insights.

Yang Qi, on the other hand, compared the incantations with his own cultivation and benefited greatly. He believed that if he practiced diligently for some time, breaking through to the Eighth Rank of qi technique would not be a problem.

While the four members of the Yang family were learning the King-level qi technique, the Four Seasons Sword Technique, in the city lord's residence, Yan Gufeng was urgently convening his subordinates to discuss specific countermeasures.

With two families fighting in Yandu City, as the city lord, he could not ignore it and had to resolve the conflict as soon as possible.

However, he was waiting, waiting for the Yang family and the Chen family to fight to the point of mutual destruction before intervening. At that time...

A sinister look appeared on Yan Gufeng's face.

"City Lord, the Chen family and the Yang family should be fighting now. I'll go check the reports from the scouts outside," Luo Hun stood up and walked out.

"City Lord, I have already mobilized the troops in the city lord's residence. As soon as you give the order, we can set out to capture all the experts from both families."

Another guard walked in, his qi technique shimmering with ripples, not inferior to Luo Hun. He was one of the eight commandants in the city lord's residence of Yandu City.

In other words, in Yandu City, there were eight experts like the iron-clad devil Luo Hun.

"Stand ready, and wait for my orders," Yan Gufeng ordered.

"Yes!"

The guard walked out.

"Mr. Sun, do you think we should eliminate both the Chen family and the Yang family today? The Chen family has colluded with the Shadow Poison Sect, which has clearly posed a huge threat to our Yan family. And that Yang Qi from the Yang family, after some mysterious encounter, his cultivation has soared, even able to contend with Luo Hun. If we don't eliminate the root, it will greatly affect our Yan family's long-term dominance."

Yan Gufeng said to an old man beside him.

This old man was mysterious and clearly a strategist in the residence, a learned scholar with a face that occasionally flashed with cunning and deceit.

Being called "Mr." by Yan Gufeng, his status was clearly high, and his qi technique cultivation was indiscernible.

"I have secretly observed this young man several times," Mr. Sun waved a goose feather fan, speaking casually, "He indeed had some mysterious encounter in the thunder, leading to a rapid improvement in his martial arts. Such a person is extremely dangerous and has boundless potential. If he cannot be used for our benefit, he must be eliminated in the bud. City Lord, do you think it's possible to recruit him?"

"It's not possible," Yan Gufeng shook his head, "He stole my Dragon Subduing Pill and had his martial arts disabled, which has already created a grudge. Moreover, a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. If he were to join us, the Yang family would become subjects of the Yan family, having to kowtow and pay homage to me. How could he endure that? Yang Zhan is also an ambitious person and would never submit to anyone."

"Indeed."

Mr. Sun waved the feather fan again, "The Yang family will not submit to the city lord, which means handing over life and death to the city lord. Recruitment seems impossible, so the only option left is to eliminate them."

"I can still eliminate this young man now," Yan Gufeng rubbed his temples, seemingly making a final decision, "If it were a year or two later, he would be impossible to eliminate, especially since Yang Zhan is also advancing to the Qi Master realm."

"Haha, City Lord, you can rest assured. You know how difficult it is to advance to the Qi Master realm? It involves the transformation between true qi and the soul." Mr. Sun laughed, "Yang Zhan cannot advance in the short term."

"Right now, the Yang family and the Chen family should be fighting intensely. With the Shadow Poison Sect's experts, the Chen family might even have the upper hand." Yan Gufeng slowly turned the ring on his thumb.

This ring was a treasure that could assist in the circulation of true qi and even store true qi. It was called the "Blood Soul Ring," meaning it was as integral as the human body.

Even a Qi Master has limited true qi in their body, and during battles, they often run out of true qi. However, with this "Blood Soul Ring," they could store unused true qi and use it to replenish during battles, making their stamina incredibly long-lasting.

Therefore, with this ring, even if Yan Gufeng encountered two Qi Masters, they would not be able to harm him. In a one-on-one battle, an ordinary Qi Master would not be his match.

This ring was invaluable, and even in major sects and academies, it was a treasure. A whole Yandu City could not be exchanged for it.

"Bad news, bad news."

At this moment, a soldier rushed in, kneeling down. Luo Hun, standing beside the soldier, had a grim expression.

"What's the matter? Have the Yang family and the Chen family already decided the outcome?" Yan Gufeng slapped the table and stood up.

"Not only have they decided the outcome, but it was a complete victory. Just that young man Yang Qi alone killed all the experts of the Chen family, including the Thousand Demon Army and over ten Seventh Rank Qi Masters from the Shadow Poison Sect. He disabled their martial arts and captured Chen Dalei alive." Luo Hun reported, his face extremely embarrassed, "Moreover, Yang Zhan just ascended to the Qi Master realm, and now the Yang family's army has entered the Chen family, directly starting to raid and exterminate the clan."

"What did you say?"

Yan Gufeng did not hear clearly, his body trembling, "That young man Yang Qi alone eliminated the Chen family and all the experts of the Shadow Poison Sect? Has he been possessed by a thousand-year-old monster?"

This was the only explanation for such behavior.
