Chapter 78, The Way of Killing

  ——————————————

  Qin Feng!

  Qin Tian was slightly surprised, the events of three years ago were still vivid in his mind. At that time, because of Qin Kuang's words, Qin Zhan Tian actually punished him to reflect on his mistakes for three years at the back mountain cliff. Being sent to the back mountain cliff for three years was equivalent to being sentenced to death, and people who were exiled here had basically been abandoned by the Qin family.

  It's already a miracle that he can survive in such a harsh environment, and looking at Qin Feng, his eyebrows are like swords, his eyes are full of spirit, and from head to toe, compared to three years ago, he has undergone a metamorphosis, and his strength is much more refined.

  Seeing Qin Tian, Qin Feng withdrew his fist and was also shocked on his face, staring blankly: "You were punished too?"

  After finishing speaking, Qin Feng self-deprecatingly smiled and said: Who can come to the back mountain ridge without being punished?

  Who in the Qin family would have wanted to set foot on this 'Devil's Cliff', where only he was left after all these years, and relying on his determination, he struggled to survive, and now he has started to like it here, and this place has opened up a path of transformation for him.

  "Isn't it time for the three years to be up? Why haven't you left yet?" Qin Tian retorted, then stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the hazy horizon, lost in thought.

  The cold wind howled by, like a hungry tiger's roar, cutting into his face with an unbearable chill. Yet, at this moment, Qin Tian's heart inexplicably calmed down, savoring the brief tranquility brought by the biting wind. The anger in his chest was temporarily suppressed, and Qin Tian's expression turned calm as he slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air: "Looks like you've been doing well here, already reaching the Spirit Gathering Realm."

  Qin Feng was taken aback, he and Qin Tian were of the same age, but he found that Qin Tian's back suddenly became incredibly majestic, as if he were a wise old man with great ambitions in his heart, looking down on all living things. A feeling of reverence arose spontaneously. What was the reason for this? He couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

  What surprised him the most was Qin Tian's strength. If it were in the past, he thought that the gap between them wasn't too big and with diligent practice, he could catch up in no time. Now, however, an insurmountable chasm had risen in his heart, a gap in strength that he couldn't cross.

  "What is your current level of cultivation?" Qin Feng hesitated for a moment before asking, as he had been taking Qin Tian as his goal for the past three years. When he entered the Gathering Spirit Realm, he thought he should have surpassed Qin Tian by now.

  It now appears that he not only failed to surpass, but fell even further behind.

  The gap in momentum is just too big.

  "Jū líng jiǔ jiē." Qín tiān wàng zhe yuǎn fāng dàn dàn dào chù, wèn dào: "Méng léi shì zài nǎ lǐ diào xià shān yá de?"

  Translation:

  "Nine stages of gathering spirit." Qin Tian gazed into the distance and asked faintly, "Where did Meng Lei fall off the cliff?"

  "Ninefold Spirit Gathering, Ninefold Spirit Gathering, ..."

  Qin Tian didn't hear the next sentence, Qin Feng was completely shocked when he heard the four words "Ji Ling Jiu Jie", his face was filled with a self-mocking smile, and his originally accumulated confidence was completely shattered, unable to withstand a single blow.

  "The gap is getting bigger and bigger." Qin Feng's heart was filled with bitterness, his face full of despair and helplessness. He thought that with the help of the dark wind, he had broken through to the Spirit Gathering realm, and after a year of hard work, he had risen to the third stage of Spirit Gathering, which was already against the heavens. But unexpectedly, Qin Tian's cultivation had reached the ninth stage of Spirit Gathering.

  Is he human? He's completely a monster.

  In an instant, his mind reacted with a sentence behind Qin Tian, and his face was bitter again, with a bitter smile. "Sorry, I wasn't able to protect him. If I had been strong enough at that time, perhaps Meng Lei wouldn't have died."

  Qin Tian did not expect Qin Feng to apologize, which made him feel greatly surprised. He said, "Can you tell me about the situation at that time?"

  Qin Feng glanced at Qin Tian, sat down on the ground, gazing into the distance, his eyes flashing with a faint sense of injustice and resentment. He spoke in a smooth and flowing tone, but as he reached the part that made him angry, a faint killing intent and unwillingness to accept the situation appeared on his face, his fists clenched tightly, his expression darkening.

  Qin Tian quietly listened, desperately suppressing the anger in his heart. The cold wind pierced into his body, constantly colliding with the flames of rage. At this moment, it seemed as if there was a small universe of ice and fire within him, constantly erupting and destroying...

  After a long while, Qin Feng let out a deep sigh and said: "All of this, the clan leader was watching from the side with an icy gaze, it's really chilling."

  "If he had just spoken up for Monrei at that time, even if it was just a word, he wouldn't have been slapped down the mountain by the elder. What a pity..."

  "The Qin family is completely different from what it used to be."

  "Qin Zhan Tian was arrogant and self-willed, with a narrow mind, unable to tolerate anyone in the Qin family being stronger than him. He wanted to dominate the Qin family single-handedly, but couldn't achieve it, always constrained by the Elder's Chamber. For the position of Family Head, he had no choice but to compromise with the Elder's Chamber, leading to tragic consequences."

  "The Qin family is really finished."

  After finishing speaking, Qin Feng slightly closed his eyes, his heart like a knife twisting, he had cultivated for many years just to change the Qin family, now thinking about it, how ridiculous he was, with his strength he couldn't even withstand one move from Qin Zhan Tian, what qualifications did he have to change the Qin family?

  "By the way, the Yang family of Tianyajiao seems to attach great importance to Yunmeng. They even took out three crystal nuclei as a betrothal gift. The Great Elder was able to enter the Lianhua realm because he swallowed the crystal nucleus; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to break through."

  "Three crystal nuclei? No wonder. " Qin Tian furrowed his brow, thinking to himself: "It seems that the remaining two are one each for Qin Zhan Tian and Qin Kuang, the three of them colluding together. Qin Zhan Tian, you didn't keep your promise back then, which led to Meng Lei being knocked off the cliff by Qin Xiang Tian. You stood by and did nothing, so don't blame me for being ruthless tomorrow."

  A single thought emerges, and murderous intent is revealed.

  The cold wind became even colder, and Qin Feng, who had endured the piercing cold for many years, couldn't help but shiver, staring blankly at Qin Tian, his heart shaken to the core.

  "Let's go back to the Qin family."

  The Qin family needs you.

  Qin Tian suddenly said, three years ago Qin Feng gave him a good feeling at the family invitation tournament, he could bend and stretch, and would definitely have great achievements in the future. He knew how to hide, understood what he wanted, and was willing to endure temporary humiliation, bitter training, and take revenge on his enemies.

  More than half an hour's conversation, from his words, Qin Tian could feel that he wanted to change the Qin family, and was eager to make a change.

  Qin Tian himself also wanted to change the Qin family, but he didn't have time and didn't want to waste his time on the Qin family. To him, the Qin family was too small, while his goals were too big, too far away.

  Killing Qin Xiang Tian obtained a huge amount of experience and internal energy, he knew that in this life, he had to take the path of killing, and must step on the corpses of countless human-shaped BOSSes to reach the peak. The Dragon's Roar Heaven of Qianji Sect, the Master of Wanmo Sect, they were all super big BOSSes, and Qin Tian had to step on their corpses in order to grow up.

  Killing way.

  This is his way afterwards!

  Qin Feng was taken aback, and let out a bitter laugh. "Without the clan leader's order, I fundamentally can't return, even if I did, it would be useless. It's all about currying favor with others, living without meaning. It's better to cultivate in this harsh environment, gain insight, and one day break through the Refining Realm boundary. When that day comes, I'll have the power to change everything."

  "This is for you." Qin Tian took out the crystal core that Qin Xiang Tian had exploded from his spatial ring, and smiled faintly, saying: "Qin Xiang Tian is dead, from now on you are the head of the Qin family."

  The tone was affirmative, Qin Feng didn't think Qin Tian was joking with him at all. Looking at the crystal core, Qin Feng gritted his teeth and carefully took it over, saying: "Thank you."

  The second time he said "thank you" to Qin Tian was even more solemn than the last.

  "As for Qin Tian, he won't live much longer either, you can rest assured. I gave you the crystal core, with the intention of letting you revive the Qin family and make a big show of yourself. The Qin family needs someone like you." Qin Tian stood up, his eyes deep and profound, suddenly gazing into the distance as if looking into an abyss, and let out a loud cry.

  "Monray, you must live..."

  "I believe you must still be alive!"

  The Struggle for Power

  The military academy instructor returned to the end of Qin. At that time, the anti-Qin uprising, heroes rose together; Chu and Han contended for hegemony, winds and clouds arose. Was it following Liu Bang, rising up in rebellion? Or was it under Xiang Yu's command, assisting the Hegemon King? Or perhaps, with golden armor and iron horses, competing for the world?
