Chapter 193: Chapter 193 Slow Down! (6 updates) _1
Sensing Qin Feiyang charging at him, Lin Huo, enduring searing pain, hastily scrambled up and leaped out of the deep pit. "I don’t believe I will be defeated by him!" he shrieked. He looked utterly deranged, his eyes blood-red. His other hand clenched tightly. "Jian Haotian, I swear I’ll kill you! Tyrant Fist!" With a furious roar, he charged ferociously toward Qin Feiyang.
Qin Feiyang’s eyes flashed like lightning. His large hand reached out, unflinchingly striking the incoming fist.
A flash of golden light!
"ARGH..." Lin Huo was blasted away once again, his screams of pain unceasing.
CRACK!
This arm broke as well.
THUMP!
He flew dozens of meters, crashing into the plaza and creating another deep crater, dust and debris filling the air.
He roared internally, unable to accept this reality. Why is it like this...
Qin Feiyang also retreated several meters. After steadying himself, he continued to pursue Lin Huo. After two hard collisions, his arm began to feel numb, throbbing with waves of muscle-tearing pain. He knew his arm had reached its limit. If he took Lin Huo’s third strike, it would surely break. However, that was now impossible. Lin Huo’s arms were already broken. Even as a Two-star Martial Ancestor, he was now nothing more than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
WOOSH! Like a bolt of lightning, Qin Feiyang reached the edge of the deep pit.
After two collisions, Lin Huo was practically falling apart, lacking even the strength to get up.
Qin Feiyang jumped into the deep pit and grabbed Lin Huo’s hair. "Whatever you did to Zhao Shuang’er, I’ll repay you double!" he said with cold detachment.
With all his strength, a punch landed on Lin Huo’s abdomen.
"AIIIEEE!" Lin Huo let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"You, such a worthless clown, actually consider yourself a genius?" Qin Feiyang landed another punch. Lin Huo writhed in pain, his body convulsing, his face ashen. His features were distorted beyond recognition, truly monstrous!
"What I hate most in my life are men who bully women. They’re utter scum!" Qin Feiyang raised his hand and slapped Lin Huo across the face, leaving a vivid red handprint. WHACK! SMACK! BAM! He then unleashed a flurry of slaps. Lin Huo’s once handsome face quickly swelled, becoming unrecognizable.
"Jian Haotian, spare me, please!" Lin Huo begged desperately, his heart enveloped by deep despair and fear. "I’ll kneel for you! I’ll apologize to Zhao Shuang’er!"
"Spare you? You’re far too naive," Qin Feiyang smirked coldly, grabbing Lin Huo’s ankle and dragging him out of the pit into everyone’s view.
Is this even human anymore? Seeing Lin Huo’s horrific state, everyone present felt their scalps tingle.
"I admit..." Lin Huo began to surrender, but Qin Feiyang stepped on his mouth before he could finish. His teeth shattered instantly, blood spurting out!
Following that, he grabbed Lin Huo’s clothes, lifted him high, then slammed him down, his knee fiercely smashing into Lin Huo’s abdomen.
"AAARGH..." Lin Huo screamed, his voice filled with utter horror.
"Commander Xu, what are you standing there for?" Lin Han roared in rage. If this continued, Lin Huo would definitely be beaten to death.
Commander Xu jolted back to his senses and rushed to shout, "Jian Haotian, stop!"
"Didn’t you say that if no one surrenders, the match isn’t over?" Qin Feiyang turned to look at him, an unyielding mockery playing on his lips. Then, he stomped on Lin Huo’s abdomen again!
Lin Huo continuously coughed up blood, no longer having the energy to scream. Like a lump of mud, he lay on the ground.
Commander Xu clenched his fists tightly, his face filled with anger, but he could do nothing. He had indeed said those words earlier, and everyone had heard him. If he forcefully stopped Qin Feiyang now, his bias would be far too obvious.
At this point, even Qin Feiyang was unsure how else to torture Lin Huo; he had already beaten every inch of his body.
That’s right! There’s still one place left! The corner of his mouth lifted slightly as his foot kicked towards Lin Huo’s groin.
"My Lin family forfeits!" Lin Han’s face turned ashen as he hurriedly roared.
But it was too late.
With a CRACK, the eggs were crushed.
Seeing this, all the men present couldn’t help but clamp their legs tightly, a chill running down their spines. He actually crushed them? This kid is too ruthless!
The faces of Yan Nanshan and the others twitched involuntarily.
"Such a little bastard!" the beautiful woman spat lightly. He learns all these wicked tricks instead of anything good. Lin Han will surely be driven mad this time!
Sure enough, Lin Han rose abruptly, his eyes brimming with an astonishing chill. He gritted his teeth and said, "I already forfeited, yet you still attacked so mercilessly! Your malice is utterly damnable!"
"If I’m not mistaken, when the Hall Master conceded earlier, Lin Huo still kicked Feng Ling’er, didn’t he?" Qin Feiyang flicked his hand dismissively and said lightly, "May I ask, why didn’t you jump out and denounce Lin Huo then?"
Lin Han stammered, "I..."
Qin Feiyang waved his hand. "Stop making excuses. Who in Yan City doesn’t know that you, Family Head of the Lin family, are a hypocrite? I can’t be bothered to argue with you. Take this good-for-nothing away! However, from today onwards, he probably can’t be your adopted son anymore. But congratulations, you’ve gained an adopted daughter. Remember to raise her well. Who knows? She might even marry into a good family someday. When that happens, don’t forget to invite me for a celebratory drink!" Qin Feiyang grinned, revealing his shining white teeth.
PFFT!
At these words, countless people burst out laughing, some nearly spitting out their drinks. This kid was truly vicious. These words were even more humiliating than walking up and slapping Lin Han across the face in public. The Lin family had utterly lost all face this time.
Lin Han was undoubtedly seething, murderous intent surging within him!
COUGH! But at that moment, the Yan King cleared his throat, reminding Lin Han to mind the occasion. Then he said to Commander Xu, "Take Lin Huo away to get his wounds treated."
Actually, the Yan King was currently angrier than anyone. He had sacrificed a Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pill, but not only had it failed to suppress this boy, it had instead fanned the flames of his arrogance. The boy had even used Lin Huo as a stepping stone to make a name for himself. From this day forward, his fame in Yan City would reach even greater heights!
Commander Xu lifted Lin Huo, gave Qin Feiyang a cold glare, then turned and ran towards the palace’s main gate. The Royal House had suffered a double loss this time, and the joyous wedding ceremony had become deeply unpleasant.
The Yan King turned to look at the First Prince and said in a low voice, "What are you standing there for? This competition was your idea. Even if they walk all over you, you will endure it for me!"
"Yes." The First Prince nodded, took a deep breath, then rose with a smile and walked towards the center of the square.
"The competition has reached its conclusion," the First Prince announced. "I now declare the results. First place: Jian Haotian! Second place: Lin Huo! Third place: Lo Qingzhu! Does anyone have any objections to these results?" He glanced around the crowd, but no one voiced any.
"Very well, I will now award the prizes." The First Prince took out two jade boxes and handed them to Qin Feiyang, smiling. "Congratulations, Brother Jian."
Qin Feiyang accepted the jade boxes. Confirming they contained the Snow Crystal and Nine Suns Flower, he stowed them away, then bowed and smiled. "I must thank Your Highness for your consideration."
The First Prince’s eyelid twitched. He replied with a faint smile, "It’s what you deserve." He then took out two more jade boxes, giving one to Lo Qingzhu and the other to Lin Han to accept on Lin Huo’s behalf.
The competition finally drew to a close.
Qin Feiyang returned to his place behind Yan Nanshan. Several of the leading figures there instantly gave him a thumbs-up.
Qin Feiyang smiled and asked, "How’s Shuang’er doing?"
"Her injuries are healing," Ling Yunfei, who had been holding her all this time, replied.
"That’s good." Qin Feiyang let out a sigh of relief.
The beautiful woman asked curiously, "Haotian, how did you do it? It felt like you weren’t even trying when you fought Lin Huo."
Qin Feiyang said indifferently, "Lin Huo is just a paper tiger. There’s nothing special about him."
Lin Han and the red-haired old man turned to look at him, their eyes flashing with cold light. Qin Feiyang barely spared them a glance before looking away, completely disregarding them.
At this time, the Yan King stood up and turned to face the leaders and heads of the various families. "First of all! We want to thank these young people for giving us such a thrilling competition. Though the process was somewhat unpleasant, it’s undeniable that they are the future pillars of Yan Province. This King sincerely hopes that each of these young geniuses will reach the pinnacle of their lives. Now that the competition has ended, it’s time to proceed to the main event. I now announce that the wedding ceremony of my son and Lin Yiyi, daughter of Lin Han, officially begins! Please welcome the bride and groom!" The Yan King concluded with a smile.
"Hold on!" But just then, a cold, sharp voice rang out.
For a moment, the entire venue fell silent, all eyes focusing on the source of the voice. It was none other than Qin Feiyang!
The Yan King’s brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, but he asked with a smile, "Is there something else, Brother Jian?"
The beautiful woman whispered, "Haotian, don’t make any more trouble. Just stay put."
"I’m not making trouble." Qin Feiyang gave a faint smile as he walked to the front of Yan Nanshan and the others.
Ling Yunfei, Lo Qingzhu, Feng Ling’er, Fatty, and Lu Hong all held their breath, watching him intently. They knew Qin Feiyang was about to lay his cards on the table.
Inside the ancient castle, the Wolf King, as if injected with adrenaline, howled excitedly, "Quick, quick, quick!"
The others looked at Qin Feiyang with puzzlement. However, Qin Feiyang ignored their gazes, his eyes sweeping over Yan Nanshan, the beautiful woman, Elder Wan, and Chief Li, one by one.
Suddenly, he bowed deeply to them.
They frowned. "What’s this about?"
Qin Feiyang said, "In front of everyone here, I would like to formally express my gratitude to all you seniors for the care you have shown me these past few months."
The beautiful woman pouted. "I thought it was going to be something important!"
Elder Wan laughed. "Get up, get up. It’s a small matter; there’s no need for such ceremony. Besides, you’re not the main character today."
Chief Li said helplessly, "That’s right. With you making such a scene, this old man is rather embarrassed. If you truly don’t want me to write you that IOU, we can discuss it privately."
"An IOU?" Qin Feiyang shook his head and chuckled. Without saying anything more, he walked step by step to the center of the square.
He looked up at Shi Zheng, bowed, and said, "Elder Shi, the person I should thank most is you. Thank you for your personal protection these past few months."
"It’s nothing," Shi Zheng laughed, feeling somewhat baffled.
Not only Shi Zheng, but everyone present was also scratching their heads in confusion. What on earth was this kid trying to achieve by suddenly putting on such a display?
