“Qin Ning!”
“Ning’er!”
Seeing Qin Ning appear outside the door, the Grand Elder and the others couldn't help but be surprised.
Could this brat have killed Fifth Elder Qin Rong?
The Fifth Elder had just swallowed a Rage Qi Pill, and now possessed the strength of the Eight Gates Realm. Even with one arm broken by Qin Changsheng, his power would still be considerable. Qin Ning had only reached the fourth gate of the Shangmen Realm. Even with a sneak attack, he couldn't possibly kill the Fifth Elder!
“Father, are you alright?” Qin Ning stepped inside and asked.
“Ning’er, quickly, go find your Second Uncle!” Qin Changsheng said, his face pale and his breath ragged. With the Grand Elder, Second Elder, and several other deacons here, Qin Ning was clearly no match for them. Now, the only way was to call Qin Yuanshan back as soon as possible.
“Father, don’t worry. Xin’er has already gone to inform Second Uncle. And I’m not here because I’m worried about you; I just came to take a look!” Qin Ning chuckled softly.
“You foolish boy, hurry and go! I’ll hold them off!”
“Go? Why?” Qin Ning paused in surprise before saying, “Grand Elder, Second Elder, and you deacons here, what should your actions be called now? Betraying the family, according to the clan rules, is a capital offense!”
A capital offense?
The two elders and several deacons were all startled at this moment.
“Father, today, your son will exercise the clan leader’s authority on your behalf!” As soon as Qin Ning finished speaking, he took another step forward.
Hearing this, the two elders exchanged glances, then suddenly burst out laughing.
“Excellent, excellent, haha… Qin Changsheng, I see all three of your sons are foolish, but this brat Qin Ning is beyond saving!” The Grand Elder laughed, saying, “You want to execute us? Qin Ning, today I will capture you alive and deliver you to the Ling family to make peace with them!”
“Qin E, capture him alive!”
“Yes!”
Suddenly, from among the deacons, a middle-aged man stepped forward. As a deacon of the Qin family, most were at the sixth gate of the Jingmen Realm. And Qin E was not like Ling Kun and his ilk; he was a genius who had repeatedly faced life-or-death battles, and what he practiced were all killer moves.
“Third Young Master, please forgive me!” Qin E chuckled, then swung his hand, immediately seizing Qin Ning.
Aargh…
At that very moment, a miserable shriek echoed.
The Grand Elder and Second Elder were turning to deal with Qin Changsheng, but this shriek made them stop instantly. This was not Qin Ning’s scream.
“Sending this fellow to deal with me, Grand Elder, you underestimate me too much!” At this moment, Qin Ning had already gripped Qin E’s arm tightly in his palm, saying mockingly, “Betraying the Qin family is punishable by death. I wasn’t wrong about that, was I?”
Thwack!
Qin Ning’s hand pierced straight through Qin E’s arm. His two fingers then closed, condensing into a short sword, and stabbed straight out. Then, with another “thwack,” a deep hole immediately appeared in Qin E’s throat, and blood spurted out.
“Releasing spiritual energy, spiritual energy taking form… you… you’ve reached the sixth gate of the Jingmen Realm!” At this moment, the Grand Elder’s expression completely changed. How many days had passed since he last fought Ling Kun?
Qin Ning's strength these days had increased from the Fourth Gate of the Injury Gate realm to the Fifth Gate of the Block Gate realm, and now he had reached the Sixth Gate of the View Gate realm!
What a joke!
"Grand Elder truly has good judgment!"
"Big Brother, you can't let this kid go, otherwise, he'll become a second Qin Shan in the future!"
"Very well!"
The Grand Elder suddenly roared, "Everyone, charge and capture him! If you can't capture him alive, kill him!"
"Second Brother, let's kill Qin Changsheng!"
"Alright!"
Immediately, two figures lunged straight towards Qin Changsheng.
Seeing this scene, Qin Ning's eyes grew even colder with killing intent.
"Truly... they have a death wish!"
Qin Ning took another step forward.
Immediately, the deacons who had reached the Sixth Gate of the View Gate realm surrounded him.
"Subduing Tiger Stance!"
"Flying Tiger Stance!"
"Hungry Tiger Stance!"
In an instant, Qin Ning unleashed a flurry of punches, his strength reaching a hundred horsepower. Coupled with the might of the Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Fist, in that fleeting moment, anyone who dared to approach would be instantly dealt with by a single punch!
These deacons had only just reached the Sixth Gate of the View Gate realm, their strength merely thirty horsepower. In his eyes, they were nothing more than children.
With a series of cracking sounds, several figures collapsed to the ground one after another, all with severed limbs, blood gushing everywhere.
Qin Ning snorted, "Betraying the Qin family, and overestimating yourselves!"
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
The Grand Elder and Second Elder were utterly stunned at this moment.
They hadn't even managed to kill Qin Changsheng when Qin Ning had already dealt with all the deacons present.
Among those deacons, there were even two masters who had reached the Seventh Gate of the Death Gate realm.
Could Qin Ning really have dealt with them all so quickly?
"Grand Elder, Second Elder, do you acknowledge your crimes?"
Qin Ning didn't even spare a glance at the corpses on the ground, merely gazing coldly at Qin Leishan and Qin Leifeng.
"We cannot fail! This brat has only just reached the Sixth Gate of the View Gate realm. Second Brother, let's attack together and kill him!"
"Alright!"
The Grand Elder and Second Elder immediately faced Qin Ning.
Qin Changsheng had been heavily attacked just now and couldn't act for a short while. As long as they killed Qin Ning and then Qin Changsheng, the outcome would still be within their control.
"Poisoned Fate Fist!"
"Mountain Splitting Palm!"
At this moment, the two figures simultaneously charged forward.
The Grand Elder and Second Elder were both powerful experts who had reached the Eighth Gate of the Alarm Gate realm.
Reaching the Sixth Gate of the View Gate realm allowed one to open the Jade Pillow acupoint, enabling spiritual energy to take form. Reaching the Seventh Gate of the Death Gate realm allowed one to strengthen the Life Gate acupoint, gathering qi to briefly levitate.
And upon reaching the Eighth Gate of the Alarm Gate realm, spiritual energy could open the three spiritual orifices located in the eyes, nose, and mouth, allowing one to condense a protective layer of spiritual energy.
Qin Ning's expression remained unchanged as he watched the Grand Elder and Second Elder charge towards him.
The Eighth Gate realm merely means your strength reaches a hundred horsepower, and I currently possess the same strength as you. What you rely on is abundant spiritual energy, but my spiritual energy is several times more abundant than yours.
Bang!
Stepping forward, a surge of spiritual energy erupted within Qin Ning’s body, gathering to form a protective membrane that enveloped him.
“Only martial artists who have reached the eighth gate of the Jingmen realm can manifest spiritual energy body protection, you…”
“I can too!”
Qin Ning smirked and launched a direct punch.
“Dragon Form!”
The fifth form of the Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Fist was unleashed.
At the fifth gate of the Dumen realm, he had already become quite proficient in executing the Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Fist, but the five subsequent Dragon forms were still very difficult to execute.
Now that his spiritual energy had taken form and he had reached the sixth gate of the Jingmen realm, executing the five subsequent Dragon forms was as easy as turning his hand.
These deacons had only reached the sixth gate of the Jingmen realm, their strength merely thirty horsepower. In his eyes, they were just like children.
Cracking sounds echoed as several figures successively fell to the ground, all of them missing limbs and covered in blood.
Qin Ning snorted, “Betraying the Qin family, you overestimate yourselves!”
“What?”
“How can this be?”
The First Elder and Second Elder were utterly aghast at this moment.
They hadn’t even had time to kill Qin Changsheng when Qin Ning had already dealt with all the deacons present.
Among those deacons, there were even two masters who had reached the seventh gate of the Zimen realm.
Could Qin Ning have dealt with all of them so quickly?
“First Elder, Second Elder, do you admit your guilt?”
Qin Ning didn’t even bother to glance at the corpses on the ground, only coldly looking at Qin Leishan and Qin Leifeng.
“We cannot fail! This brat has only just reached the sixth gate of the Jingmen realm. Second Brother, let’s attack together and kill him!”
“Alright!”
The First Elder and Second Elder immediately turned their attention to Qin Ning.
Just now, Qin Changsheng had been heavily attacked and couldn’t act again for a short period. As long as they killed Qin Ning, and then Qin Changsheng, the outcome would still be within their control.
“Poisonous Fate Fist!”
“Mountain-Splitting Palm!”
At this moment, two figures simultaneously charged forward.
The First Elder and Second Elder were both powerful experts who had reached the eighth gate of the Jingmen realm.
Reaching the sixth gate of the Jingmen realm allowed one to open the Yu Zhen acupoint, enabling spiritual energy to take form. Reaching the seventh gate of the Zimen realm allowed one to strengthen the Mingmen acupoint, gathering spiritual energy to briefly take flight.
And upon reaching the eighth gate of the Jingmen realm, spiritual energy could open the three spiritual apertures located in the eyes, nose, and mouth, allowing one to condense a layer of spiritual energy body protection.
At this moment, a thin layer of spiritual energy enveloped the bodies of the First Elder and Second Elder, like a protective membrane.
Qin Ning’s expression remained unchanged as he watched the First Elder and Second Elder charge towards him.
“The eighth gate realm is merely a hundred horsepower of strength, and I now possess the same strength as you. What you rely on is abundant spiritual energy, but my spiritual energy is several times more abundant than yours.”
He had already achieved relative proficiency in executing the Tiger Roar Dragon Chant Fist at the fifth gate of the Du Men realm, but the five subsequent Dragon forms remained very difficult to perform.
Now that his spiritual energy had materialized, reaching the sixth gate of the Jing Men realm, executing the five subsequent Dragon forms was as easy as turning his hand for him.
A fist strike brimming with spiritual energy erupted with extreme ferocity. The spiritual energy condensed into a green dragon, roaring through the heavens, baring its fangs and glaring fiercely as it charged forth.
Bang!
Immediately, both the Grand Elder and the Second Elder charged forward, and a loud explosion rang out in the three-person battlefield.
In the courtyard, the paving bricks exploded into dust, the brick walls shattered inch by inch, and the entire Qin Manor let out a deafening explosion, startling some nearby guards.
“Big Brother! Big Brother!”
Qin Yuanshan’s voice called out from outside, but when he stepped into the courtyard, his eyes had become completely dazed.
