Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Stunning the Whole Scene_1
Not good!
A sense of urgency filled Qin Feiyang’s heart.
He could endure because he had experienced it once before and was mentally prepared.
But Wolf King had never faced such agony before.
I shouldn’t have been in such a hurry, Qin Feiyang thought. I should have let Brother Wolf observe me breaking through the Martial Master’s Extreme State first, so that he could be prepared in advance.
"Brother Wolf, have you forgotten how the wolf pack died?" Qin Feiyang transmitted telepathically, his mind filled with roars of rage. "Don’t you want to avenge them? Have you forgotten our vow? If you give up now, they will die with unfulfilled regret and lasting resentment! Don’t look to me for help; I won’t help you take revenge! If you dare to die, I’ll let the Lin family continue to live freely!"
Lin family... Brother Wolf murmured, the scenes that unfolded in Iron Bull Town replaying in his mind.
Yes! he thought. Brother Wolf can’t die before wiping out the Lin family! If I die now, Xiao Qinzi will definitely look down on Brother Wolf! Brother Wolf must strive to survive!
A strong desire to live surged within him. His consciousness rapidly receded from the darkness. His large pupils shone with resolute light, his fighting spirit soaring!
HOWL!
He let out an angry howl and actually took a step forward.
"What?" Yan Nanshan was dumbfounded. It can still move under my pressure?
Jiang Zhengyi and the others were also dumbstruck, finding it utterly unbelievable.
When Wolf King took the third step—
BOOM!
A deep, muffled rumble exploded within his body. Immediately after, dazzling white light erupted from his forehead! If one were to part his fur, they would be shocked to discover a door-shaped mark rapidly forming.
That was right! He had succeeded. At the same moment, his aura surged violently. Under this terrifying pressure, not only had he broken through the Martial Artist’s Extreme State, but his cultivation had also advanced to a higher realm!
Yan Nanshan waved his hand. Battle Intent surged, sweeping up Wolf King and carrying him before the beautiful woman.
Wolf King now lacked even the strength to stand, lying listlessly on the ground.
Ling Yunfei hurried over, took out a Top Grade healing elixir, and gave it to Wolf King to consume. He then said excitedly, "Brother Wolf, you succeeded! You’re now the second being in all of Yan Province to break through the Martial Artist’s Extreme State."
"Brother Wolf is a handsome wolf, don’t get it wrong," Wolf King retorted, rolling his eyes at him, yet his heart was also incredibly thrilled.
At this moment, everyone’s gaze was ardently fixed on Wolf King. Having opened the Door of Potential, Wolf King possessed limitless future prospects!
BOOM!
Just then, another deep rumble echoed across the square. Everyone turned to look. They saw Qin Feiyang, who currently looked like a man drenched in blood. However, the Potential Mark on his chest blazed with a brilliant light. In the very next instant, the white brilliance abruptly transformed into a black radiance.
Seeing this, Yan Nanshan was overjoyed and quickly retracted his imposing aura. Qin Feiyang, too, sank to one knee, gasping for breath.
Yan Nanshan landed beside Qin Feiyang in a single step, took out a healing elixir, and gave it to him.
"Thank you, Hall Master," Qin Feiyang said gratefully.
"Your success is better than anything," Yan Nanshan laughed heartily. A sixteen-year-old youth had actually opened the second layer of the Door of Potential! Once this news spread, it would stir up a monstrous storm, not just in Yan Province, but across the other seventeen provinces as well. It would even shock the state office!
Heedless of the blood covering Qin Feiyang, Yan Nanshan personally helped him up and walked towards the beautiful woman and the others. The Potential Mark on his chest had turned black, exuding an air of mystery.
The various magnates and Family Heads stared intently at Qin Feiyang, their eyes becoming extremely fervent.
"I’ll take them to wash up." Arriving before the beautiful woman, Yan Nanshan said this, then took Qin Feiyang and Wolf King, soaring into the sky and swiftly vanishing from everyone’s sight.
The place immediately erupted into an uproar. Disbelief was etched on everyone’s face.
Meanwhile, Ma Cheng and his two companions slumped limply into their chairs.
For the Netherworld Demon Flame, we actually drove away such an unparalleled prodigy? Why did we do that? Why were we so foolish back then? Setting aside this boy’s value, just those elixirs alone would have been enough for the Elixir King Palace to overshadow any other power. Yet, we personally pushed this person into the embrace of the Martial King Palace. At this moment, they regretted it to their very core. They desperately wanted to roar, "Does a Regret Elixir exist in this world?"
"Brother Feiyang, I’m so proud of you," Lin Yiyi whispered. Color finally returned to her vacant eyes.
However, Lin Chang’s gaze turned somewhat grim. He looked at Yan King and said with a smile, "While he’s not here, let’s quickly have the two children get married!"
"Wait for him to return," Yan King said without any hesitation.
Lin Chang’s smile stiffened, and an unsettling premonition welled up within him.
The First Prince frowned, walked over to sit beside Yan King, and asked in a low voice, "Royal Father, are you planning to make me give up Lin Yiyi?"
Yan King lowered his head, remaining silent.
「About a hundred breaths later.」
Yan Nanshan returned with one man and one wolf.
Qin Feiyang wasted no words. He took out a jade box, looked at Yan King, and said, "I am using this elixir in exchange for Lin Yiyi. Consider it carefully." With that, he placed the jade box on the table beside Yan Nanshan.
Everyone present felt a chill in their hearts. This was truly an irresistible temptation.
"A Potential Elixir!" The First Prince’s body trembled as well. He looked up at the jade box, his eyes filled with longing.
Yan King pondered for a moment, then looked at Qin Feiyang and asked, "Why are you so insistent on helping Lin Yiyi? Do you truly have romantic feelings for her?"
Everyone else also looked at Qin Feiyang with suspicion.
Qin Feiyang said, "I consider her my younger sister."
Lin Yiyi had been very happy and expectant, but upon hearing this, her heart couldn’t help but ache with sadness.
Yan King shook his head and said, "To do so much for someone you merely consider a sister... This King truly admires you." He lowered his head and pondered for another moment. Finally, steeling his resolve, he looked at Qin Feiyang and declared, "Very well! This King will cancel their wedding. You may take Lin Yiyi away at any time!"
Lin Chang’s gaze flickered, and he hastily rose to look at Yan King.
"This King’s mind is made up," Yan King stated, his face devoid of expression.
Lin Chang collapsed back into his chair, his face deathly pale.
Qin Feiyang smiled, strode up to Lin Yiyi, and said with a smile, "Girl, you’ve suffered."
Lin Yiyi shook her head, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Qin Feiyang reached out, wiped the teardrops from her cheeks, and said with a smile, "Let’s go. Today is our birthday; we need to celebrate it properly."
"Mm-hmm." Lin Yiyi nodded and then asked, "What about my father?"
Lin Chang jolted, then got up and grabbed Qin Feiyang’s hand, pleading, "Feiyang, Uncle knows he was wrong! Please forgive Uncle!"
Qin Feiyang coldly shook off his hand, looked at Fatty and the others, and said, "You all take Yiyi and leave first."
"Understood." Fatty chuckled.
"Let’s go!" Lu Hong came forward, took Lin Yiyi’s hand, and led her towards the exit of the square.
The crowd consciously parted, clearing a path for them.
After the group had left, Qin Feiyang turned to face Lin Chang.
Lin Chang said anxiously, "Feiyang, I was just momentarily confused then! Please don’t blame Uncle, alright?"
Qin Feiyang kicked him directly in the stomach.
THUD!
Lin Chang sprawled on the ground on the spot, curled up in agony.
"You should consider yourself lucky that you are Yiyi’s father," Qin Feiyang said coldly. "Otherwise, you wouldn’t even have the chance to wail in pain right now. From now on, don’t come looking for me, and don’t go looking for Yiyi either. Because you are not worthy of being her father!"
Then, he turned and walked towards Yan Nanshan and the others.
Lin Chang scrambled up wretchedly, half-kneeling on the ground. He watched Qin Feiyang’s retreating figure and roared, "Men strive to move upwards, just as water flows downwards! Where did I go wrong?"
"Let me tell you plainly: you will never have a chance to achieve great success in this entire lifetime." Qin Feiyang turned his head, gave him a contemptuous glance, then walked over to Yan Nanshan and the others, saying with a smile, "Hall Master, Elder Wan, Elder Ji, how about we go for a few drinks together?"
"Excellent!" The three nodded without hesitation.
"What about us? Aren’t you going to invite us?" Chief Li asked, looking at him with displeasure.
"Don’t forget, I helped you just now too," Jiang Zhengyi stated coldly.
"Er!" Qin Feiyang was taken aback, then said with a wry smile, "The Treasure Pavilion has many affairs, so I assumed you needed to return. Since you’re not busy, then this junior sincerely invites both seniors."
Busy? Of course, we’re busy! Jiang Zhengyi and Chief Li thought. But no matter how busy, we must build a good relationship with this boy! At the very least, we need to find out the name of that elixir.
"Yan King, we shall take our leave now." Jiang Zhengyi and Yan Nanshan stood up, cupped their fists in salute to Yan King, and then departed with large strides, accompanied by Qin Feiyang and the others.
"Yan King, we’re leaving as well." Ma Cheng and his two companions soared into the sky and quickly vanished.
The various Family Heads also led their respective people and, one by one, bid farewell to Yan King. The crowd outside the square also dispersed quickly.
In a short while, only Yan King and the Lin family members remained in the square. There were also two outsiders: one was Shen Qiang, and the other was Lin Chang. But no one paid any attention to these two. Even the three great figures of the Martial King Palace hadn’t spared Shen Qiang a glance before leaving; he had already been abandoned.
The First Prince trotted over and, as if handling a precious treasure, picked up the jade box and presented it to Yan King.
Yan King took it, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light.
The red-haired old man was also filled with intense longing. He cupped his fists and said, "Yan King, I am truly sorry for causing you so much trouble today."
Lin Han and the noblewoman also hurriedly apologized.
Yan King waved his hand and said with a smile, "It’s no matter. Being able to obtain this elixir makes everything else trivial. Also, do not provoke Qin Feiyang in the future."
Lin Han said, "Then didn’t Baili die in vain?"
"Can’t you just have another one?" Yan King glared at him angrily and said, "This King will tell you plainly: in no more than three days, the state office will send people here. Qin Feiyang’s future achievements will surpass both you and me."
"The state office!" Lin Han’s body trembled. The red-haired old man also wore a look of apprehension.
"I’ve said all that needs to be said. As for what to do, you all should weigh your options carefully." After saying this, Yan King rose into the air and sped towards the royal palace.
Seeing that the First Prince was also about to enter the royal palace, Shen Qiang hurriedly chased after him, saying, "Your Highness, what should I do now?"
"What business is it of this Prince?" The First Prince shot him a disdainful glance and departed without looking back.
「Meanwhile,」
Lin Chang knelt before Lin Han, pleading, "Family Head, please pity me! Help me, won’t you?"
"Pity you?" Lin Han slapped Lin Chang directly across the face and sneered, "What kind of thing are you? Why should this Family Head pity you?" After saying that, he kicked him again.
The red-haired old man reached out to stop him, looked down at Lin Chang, and said indifferently, "From this day forward, the Iron Bull Town branch will have no further connection to our Lin family. You are on your own to live or die!"
SWOOSH!!
Once his words fell, the red-haired old man waved his hand, and leading the Lin family members, he broke through the air and departed.
And so, only Lin Chang and Shen Qiang remained in the entire square.
Both men slumped to the ground, their faces filled with utter despair.
