Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

The battle was intensely fierce, spells clashing and colliding, destroying many houses on both sides of the street.

Not far from where they were fighting, several young sword cultivators dressed in the uniforms of Taiyi Mountain disciples looked on with expressions of amusement, pointing and making comments about the dueling parties.

In particular, Qin Yang was the target of ridicule from those young sword cultivators.

After all, Qin Yang possessed the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm, while the fighting cultivators from the Qin and Huang families, mostly in the middle and late stages of Qi Refinement, were considered inferior in the eyes of the Taiyi Mountain sword cultivators.

The sword cultivator battling Qin Yang was young, yet his mastery over the Sword Dao was distinctive. His Flying Sword was sharp, his sword techniques exquisite, and coupled with Qin Yang's recent advancement to Foundation Establishment and his insufficient understanding of the "Void Shattering Technique", as well as the lack of a handy Spiritual Artifact, it wasn't long before he was at a disadvantage.

"Tss..."

A light noise was heard as Qin Yang's clothes were torn by the opponent's Sword Qi at his chest and abdomen, revealing a trace of blood.

"He's just a cultivator from a backwater family, daring to challenge me with a mediocre spell. Truly courting death."

The opposing young sword cultivator, with a slight lift at the brow, snorted disdainfully through his nose, showing scorn for Qin Yang's small-town origin.

Behind, Huang Yulang, who had been chatting idly with his fellow disciples, twitched at the corner of his mouth, feeling some dissatisfaction with that sword cultivator.

Huang Yulang himself hailed from the small place of Kun City, and the young sword cultivator's words seemed to include him as well.

However, recalling the command his master gave him when he left the Mountain Gate, Huang Yulang ultimately refrained from reacting and simply said, "Senior Brother Jiang Xinghai, there's no need to waste words on him. Although this Qin Yang has dampened our spirits, considering that he is also a fellow townsman, please show some mercy for my sake, and spare his life."

The young sword cultivator named Jiang Xinghai chuckled, but his laugh carried a cruel undertone, "Alright, for Junior Brother Huang's sake, I will just cripple his cultivation and spare him his miserable life!"

With a twitch of his hands forming a sword technique, the Flying Sword hovering in front of him suddenly flashed with a cold glint, swiftly stabbing towards Qin Yang's Dantian, evidently aiming to rupture it.

Qin Yang let out an enraged roar, his Long Sword describing an arc, carrying with it a resolute force capable of cutting through anything, and clashed fiercely with the Flying Sword.

However, even though the Long Sword in his hand was also a treasured Spiritual Artifact within his family, its grade was far inferior to the opponent's Lifebound Flying Sword, resulting in another notch being struck into it.

Qin Yang, seemingly oblivious to the damage on his Spiritual Artifact, flicked his sleeve and a swarm of black glimmers shot forth, flying towards his adversary.

These were Iron Head Centipedes that he had been nurturing since the Qi Refinement Realm.

The bodies of these Iron Head Centipedes were as hard as iron, and their mouths contained potent venom. Once bitten, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would be greatly affected. If these centipedes broke through his defenses, it wouldn't take long before they would nibble away the young sword cultivator to the bone.

"Trivial tricks!" sneered Jiang Xinghai, "Daring to flaunt such clumsy and unorthodox methods, you really are a cultivator from the sticks, utterly lacking in knowledge!

Hmph, today, I will broaden your horizons and let you witness what is called a true Divine Skill Secret Method.

Taiyi Golden Light, Infinite Sea, East Flow Sword Technique, an endless torrent, slash!"

His Flying Sword whirled in the air, as if performing the Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation, casting dozens of sword shadows, swiftly cutting through dozens of Iron Head Centipedes.

Jiang Xinghai's face was impassive, his words tinged with disdain, "You're no match for me. I've heard your Qin Family has someone named Qin Long. Today, I'll cripple your cultivation so that Qin Long can come pick you up. If he's not my opponent either, I'll turn you both into cripples!"

Qin Yang seethed with hatred, grinding his teeth in fury as he cursed, "Like you're worthy!"

"Still so insolent when death is at your doorstep," sneered Jiang Xinghai. "I might as well cut out your tongue and see if you dare to remain so tough."

Jiang Xinghai's hand shifted through a sword technique, about to forcefully breach Qin Yang's defenses when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his leg.

Looking down, he discovered a bisected Iron Head Centipede had flung itself onto his leg. Its large venomous fangs had penetrated his clothing and were frenziedly gnawing at his flesh.

And on the ground in front of him, even more centipedes he had cut in half were rapidly crawling towards him.

These Iron Head Centipedes possessed incredible vitality, not stiffening even in death. Despite being severed, they scurried swiftly and viciously, and now they managed to latch onto Jiang Xinghai, their mandibles clicking as they tore through his robes and flesh.

"Ah..."

Jiang Xinghai, fastidious by nature, had never before had such poisonous insects crawling all over him. He cried out in shock, no longer caring to show off his sword techniques. Sword Qi filled the air around him, instantly flinging all the Iron Head Centipedes off his body.

However, before he could fully regain his composure, a thunderous shout from in front of him made his spirit tremble.

It was Qin Yang, who had seized the moment while Jiang was dealing with the centipedes to approach him. He unleashed the Soul Shattering Roar to shake Jiang's divine soul and followed it up with a vicious slash of his long sword.

The blade's light was swift and formidable, striking Jiang Xinghai's head in a flash.

Bang!

A loud crash ensued, but Jiang Xinghai had snapped to his senses at the crucial moment, activating a defensive spell just in time to block Qin Yang's strike.

Yet, the protective spell around him also quivered intensely, obviously sapped of much of its strength by Qin Yang's blade.

Unwilling to relent, Qin Yang pulled back his right hand, drawing his sword, and with his left, he threw a furious punch that shattered Jiang Xinghai's defensive spell. His massive fist brutally landed on the man's nose, breaking it and causing blood to spray forth suddenly.

Qin Yang raised his sword to deliver another blow to completely defeat his opponent when a flash of sword light suddenly appeared before him; one of the sword cultivators from behind had launched their sword at Qin Yang.

Realizing the situation was unmanageable, Qin Yang did not press his advantage. Considering the Qin Family's relative weakness, he dared not truly kill a Taiyi Mountain sword cultivator, for fear that even before Taiyi Mountain could retaliate, the sword cultivators in front of him could overrun the Qin Family's stronghold!

Therefore, he parried with his sword and leaped backward.

Still, he sneered, "It's true what they say, Taiyi Mountain is indeed a prestigious sect. To think that even when fighting a cultivator from such a remote and small clan like mine, you still require help from others.

Heh, I've certainly learned something new today!"

In fact, the reason he was able to break through Jiang Xinghai's defenses and injure him was not only due to the unexpected interference from the Iron Head Centipedes but also because of the formidable power of the "Void Shattering Technique" he cultivated, which was far superior to the ordinary spells housed in his family's collection.

It was thanks to the magic of the "Void Shattering Technique" that Qin Yang had been able to defend and attack against a Taiyi Mountain disciple like Jiang Xinghai for so long, and finally take advantage when his opponent was caught off guard.

"Ah..."

Jiang Xinghai covered his nose, stopped the bleeding with his True Yuan, and roared furiously, "You dare to humiliate me, I'll kill you!"

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly took out a Sword Talisman from his body, activated it immediately, and transformed into a dazzling Golden Light Sword Qi slashing toward Qin Yang.

This Sword Qi was extremely sharp and swift beyond compare, far beyond what Qin Yang could defend against.

Just as Qin Yang was about to fall to this Sword Qi, suddenly a Big Spear flew from midair, striking the Golden Light Sword Qi with a clang, shattering it, then the spear turned and stabbed toward Jiang Xinghai.

"Who is it…"

Jiang Xinghai was horrified in his heart.

He knew that the Sword Talisman he had just activated was a defensive gift from a family elder, sealing a Sword Qi from a Golden Core Cultivator. He never expected it to be so easily shattered in this backwater place. And now, an attack was coming straight at him, which was understandably terrifying.

He hurriedly used his Flying Sword to defend, but at that moment, the Big Spear suddenly changed, transforming into an Azure Dragon that instantly entwined his Flying Sword and with a twist, snapped his premium-grade Lifebound Flying Sword into several pieces.

With the destruction of his Lifebound Flying Sword, connected in spirit, Jiang Xinghai immediately vomited a mouthful of fresh blood, looking dispirited.

But before his blood could hit the ground, the Big Spear returned to its original form and pierced through his body with a thrust, nailing him to the ground.

"Ah…"

With a cry of pain, Jiang Xinghai's eyes bulged, nearly fainting.

"Who dares to ambush a disciple of the Taiyi Mountain!"

Behind, the faces of the several Sword Cultivators changed dramatically, all drawing their swords in defense against further attacks from the Big Spear.

"We are disciples of Taiyi Mountain. May I ask which senior is here, and if there has been some misunderstanding?"

"Senior is bullying the junior, severely injuring our younger generation. Do you really think Taiyi Mountain has no elders who can deal with you?"

Although they were alarmed by the prowess the Big Spear had demonstrated, as Inner Sect Disciples of Taiyi Mountain, they would not undermine the honor of their sect and immediately invoked the reputation of Taiyi Mountain to intimidate the person who had attacked from the shadows.

"Hehe… The disciples of Taiyi Mountain, are you all so shameless?"

Floating in midair, Qin Feng chuckled softly, controlling the Two-Legged Flying Dragon to slowly descend.

Just now, he had used a Divine Skill to summon the wind and rain, but had not called forth clouds and rain; instead, he had simply brought in a cloud to hide the Flying Dragon's form. Moreover, everyone below had been focusing their attention on the fight between Qin Yang and Jiang Xinghai, which was why they hadn't noticed Qin Feng above them right away.

"A Cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect!"

The several Sword Cultivators saw the strange Spiritual Beast flying down from the sky and their faces turned pale.

The Qin Family was a vassal clan of the Beast Taming Sect. By targeting the Qin Family so recklessly here, they could easily provoke Cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect. They just hadn't expected such a powerful Cultivator to arrive so soon. According to their calculations, at this point, there should at a most a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators arriving, but now a Golden Core Cultivator had appeared, and they were inwardly bemoaning.

"It's Qin Feng."

Huang Yulang frowned slightly, immediately recognized Qin Feng, and hurriedly said to the people around him, "Qin Feng has returned!"

"What, wasn't he accompanying the Beast Taming Sect's expeditionary force to attack the Otherworld?"

When the others heard that it was Qin Feng who had come, their faces changed drastically.

And when they realized that the strange Spiritual Beast ridden by Qin Feng exuded the formidable aura of the Demon Core Realm, it only worsened their already grim expressions.

Since the Spiritual Beast he was controlling had such formidable strength, it went without saying that Qin Feng's own Cultivation must have also reached the Golden Core Realm.

Indeed, the True Disciples of a Major Sect were not something they, as ordinary disciples, could contend with!

The Two-Legged Flying Dragon gently flapped its wings, circling at a distance of more than a dozen yards from the ground, and Qin Feng, alongside the Old Family Master, jumped down from the Dragon's back.

"How shameful for Sword Cultivators in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment to seek help in fighting a family Cultivator who has just entered Foundation Establishment, not to mention using a Golden Core Cultivator's condensed Sword Talisman after defeat.

Hmph, it seems that the disciples of Taiyi Mountain are degrading with each generation. At this rate, you'll no longer be worthy of the once great name of the Taiyi Mountain Golden Light Cave!"

As he spoke, Qin Feng stepped forward with a powerful aura, causing Huang Yulang and the others to involuntarily retreat several steps before they could steady themselves.

Watching Qin Feng approach Jiang Xinghai, who was nailed to the ground, he reached for the Big Spear, causing Huang Yulang's face to change dramatically as he hurriedly shouted, "Qin Feng, you must not harm the life of Senior Brother Jiang!"

Qin Feng looked up at Huang Yulang, the corner of his mouth curling into a faint smile, and asked, "He is surnamed Jiang, what relation is he to Jiang Dongliu, surely he's not Jiang Dongliu's illegitimate child, is he?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Senior Brother Jiang is also a direct lineage descendant of the Jiang Family. He's just not from the same branch as Martial Uncle Jiang of the Punishment Sword Hall."

"Oh, so he's not Jiang Dongliu's illegitimate child. In that case, I guess I don't need to show him any mercy!"

As he spoke, Qin Feng's hand holding the Big Spear shook slightly, and immediately a strong Qi Force transmitted from the spear into Jiang Xinghai's body.

Jiang Xinghai's body stiffened, a large mouthful of fresh blood spraying out once more, and then he completely collapsed to the ground.

"Did you really kill Senior Brother Jiang?"

Huang Yulang's face appeared very troubled.

With Jiang Xinghai dead, how would he explain to his master when he returned?

"He's not dead!"

Qin Feng said indifferently, "Didn't he want to destroy my cousin's Cultivation? I merely did unto him as he wished to do unto others – I just implemented his wish on his own body.

Now, stop looking so glum. Hurry up and take him away, and don't be an eyesore here!"

Having said that, he pulled the Big Spear from Jiang Xinghai's body, utterly disregarding whether the blood gushing like a fountain would directly kill Jiang Xinghai, and turned to walk towards Qin Yang, asking, "Brother Yang, not bad huh, you actually managed to get the better of Taiyi Mountain disciples."
