Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 442: Chapter 441: Injuring Them All

Two hours later, Qin Feng emerged from the back room of Zhang’s Pharmacy, having reaped a bountiful harvest.

He couldn’t conceal the look of delight in his eyes.

’The Desolate Iron Tree, the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree, and the Nine Nether Curved Lotus. If I can successfully cultivate these three Spiritual Roots, along with the few I already have in my body, I’ll be confident in surviving one or two Chaos Great Tribulations in the Chaos Heaven.’

In addition to these three Spirit Root Seeds, Qin Feng had also bought over a hundred Yellow Rank Spirit Medicine Seeds and a dozen types of Xuan-grade spiritual medicine seeds all in one go.

However, his funds had been nearly wiped out as a result.

This was especially true for the purchase of the three Spirit Root Seeds: the Desolate Iron Tree Seed, the Dragon Blood Ancient Tree Seed, and the Nine Nether Curved Lotus Seed.

Even with Qin Feng’s status as an Honored Guest Elder, Yue Wanglou had been unwilling to trade them for Spirit Crystals.

’The Spirit Treasure Sect is so damn crafty. I bet that Elder Yue had his eyes on my Life Spring Water and that Five-Thousand-Year Jade Spirit Brew from the very beginning!’

The corner of Qin Feng’s mouth twitched as he thought of the jar of Five-Thousand-Year Jade Spirit Brew and the half-jar of Life Spring Water he had given up.

"Brother Qin Feng, it’s been a pleasure doing business with you!" The green-robed elder patted Qin Feng’s shoulder, his eyes filled with delight.

He was in high spirits. Not only had he roped in a major client for the Spirit Treasure Sect, but he had also closed a sizable deal on the spot. If word of this got back to the sect’s headquarters, it would be another great contribution to his name.

Just as Qin Feng was about to speak, a clamor erupted outside, followed by a series of chaotic footsteps. The steps were heavy and reeked of Evil Qi, and it sounded like a large group.

"You little bastard who went around hurting people, get the hell out here!" an exceptionally cold voice shouted.

Before the words had even faded, the speaker was already inside Zhang’s Pharmacy.

The speaker was a young man of about eighteen or nineteen, his hair tied up in an elaborate topknot. He had a high-bridged nose, sharp cheekbones, and lips as thin as a razor’s edge. Clad in red Battle Armor and gripping a Battle Sword, his eyes radiated a chilling coldness as they instantly locked onto Qin Feng, who was emerging from the back room.

CLANK! CLANK!

Right behind him, a group of Red Armor Guards, seething with killing intent, flooded through the entrance. A menacing aura emanated from each of them; one glance was enough to tell they were bad news.

Qin Feng swept his Divine Thought over them. The weakest of these Red Armor Guards had a Cultivation at the Meridian Condensation Profound Extreme Realm, while the young man in the lead had already broken through to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm.

Mo Jianxing stared coldly at Qin Feng. "Little bastard, did you think you could get away with hurting people just by hiding? To dare injure Prince Duanmu and Miss Yiyun... you’ve got some serious nerve!"

At that moment, the shopkeeper of Zhang’s Pharmacy stepped out from the side. He shot a respectful look at Yue Wanglou, and then his eyes fell upon the black-robed youth walking abreast of him, and his heart stirred.

He walked over, blocking the path of Mo Jianxing and his men with a smile.

"Guard Mo, what’s the meaning of this? Bringing so many men to my Zhang’s Pharmacy to arrest someone... surely this is inappropriate!"

"Shopkeeper Zhang?" Mo Jianxing frowned. As a member of the Red Flame Marketplace’s security, of course he knew the background of Zhang’s Pharmacy.

But at the thought of the Green-clothed Maiden’s injuries, Mo Jianxing’s demeanor became incredibly aggressive, his expression turning frigid.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, this has nothing to do with your pharmacy! This punk injured Prince Duanmu and Miss Yiyun, the daughter of Chancellor Yu! What’s more, he bullied the weak, forcibly seized a treasure, and assaulted a stall owner! He’s a vicious thug running rampant. If he isn’t punished, won’t the rules of our Red Flame Marketplace become a joke for everyone to trample on?!"

Mo Jianxing was incredibly aggressive, his gaze fixed on Qin Feng, seething with killing intent.

"Younger Brother Qin Feng, it looks like you’re in a bit of trouble. Do you need this old man to intervene?" Beside him, Yue Wanglou watched Qin Feng with a faint smile.

"No need." Qin Feng’s expression was icy as he stepped forward.

Receiving a look from Yue Wanglou, Shopkeeper Zhang quickly stepped aside.

"I think you’d better watch your mouth, Guard Captain. You need evidence to make accusations. You can’t just twist the facts and spout venomous slander!"

"Evidence? Fine, I’ll give you evidence! Old Tian, get out here!" Mo Jianxing sneered, and with a wave of his hand, a Red Armor Guard escorted a man from the crowd outside. It was the stall owner, his face swollen like a pig’s head.

"That’s him, Lord Mo! That’s the robber! He stole my Treasure!" the ’Pig Head’ shrieked, his eyes venomous as he stared at Qin Feng with utter hatred. His mouth was full of blood; all his front teeth had been knocked out, causing his words to come out in a whistle.

Mo Jianxing sneered at Qin Feng. "Now what do you have to say for yourself!"

"Are you an idiot? With that much hatred in his eyes, how could he possibly be telling the truth? Here, let me show you what really happened!"

With a cold glint in his eyes, Qin Feng’s figure flashed, and he instantly appeared before the ’Pig Head’. Mo Jianxing’s expression changed dramatically as he unleashed an incomparably sharp Sword Qi that shot toward Qin Feng like a thunderbolt.

Mo Jianxing had attacked with his signature move, the Purple Thunder Sword Control Technique. Claps of thunder echoed as pale purple bolts of lightning enveloped Qin Feng’s body.

"Settle down!" With a single glance, Qin Feng raised his hand in a clawing motion. His tyrannical Extreme True Power instantly crushed the Sword Qi.

At the same time, he made a grasping motion with his other hand, unleashing a terrifying suction force that seemed to pull at the very fabric of space. Mo Jianxing was drawn irresistibly into Qin Feng’s grasp. His expression changed drastically as he tried to summon his Thunder Sword Qi to break free.

But Mo Jianxing’s expression soon twisted in horror. He felt the meticulously refined Purple Thunder True Power inside him shatter with ease, and a hand like an iron vise clamped around his neck, lifting him off the ground.

Alarmed, the dozen or so Red Armor Guards started to rush forward!

"Move, and you’re crippled!" Qin Feng’s gaze swept over them as an immense wave of Divine Thought and a vast power swept through the void.

CRACKLE! POP!

With a loud crash, the entire front door shattered to pieces, and the dozen or so Red Armor Guards were sent flying backward.

"You..." Mo Jianxing’s face went deathly pale.

In the span of a single breath, not only had he, a great expert of the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, been captured, but a dozen elite Red Armor Guards had also been swept aside and subdued.

’Just how terrifying is this man’s power?!’

The crowd of onlooking Martial Artists gasped in shock.

Mo Jianxing was a famous figure in the Red Flame Marketplace. He had once slain a powerful expert who had been causing trouble with a single stroke of his sword.

’As expected, this boy’s strength is extraordinary. A display of skill like this is on par with some of the top geniuses from the Central Domain!’ Elder Yue’s expression remained unreadable.

"Enough nonsense. Watch closely!" Having made short work of the minions, Qin Feng turned his grim gaze on the terrified ’Pig Head’.

"I was going to spare your life, but I didn’t think you’d be so shameless as to twist the truth. Did you think a few lies could hide what really happened? You’re wrong. At our Realm, lying is utterly useless!"

Seeing his backer utterly defeated and sensing the terrible turn things had taken, the ’Pig Head’ began to wail.

"Young Master, spare me!"

A vast wave of Divine Thought stirred, and a vortex appeared in Qin Feng’s eyes.

"Soul Capturing and Image Retaining!"

This was a Minor Divine Ability of the Spirit Element. Many Martial Arts Strongmen cultivated this kind of Small Secret Technique.

This type of Spirit Element technique possessed no offensive power, but it could search the soul of an average Martial Arts Strongman and project their memories as a visible image.

A projection flickered to life above the ’Pig Head’s’ head, showing the scene of Qin Feng buying the tree root. Even the ’Pig Head’s’ inner thoughts at the time were displayed within the watery image.

It showed the stall owner’s greed, the duplicitous look on his face as he went back on his word, the viciousness of his sneak attack to snatch the Chaos Tree Fragment from Qin Feng’s hand, and his pathetic state after being slapped so hard his teeth were knocked out.

Next, it showed Duanmu Yiren’s sneak attack, and how he was sent flying by a single punch from Qin Feng.

It showed Yu Yiyun trying to intervene, only to be grievously wounded by a single glare from Qin Feng.

The entire sequence of events played out in vivid detail.

The expressions of the wealthy patrons in the crowd shifted, their gazes falling upon the ’Pig Head’ and the Crimson Flame Guards with undisguised disapproval.

"So much for the famous Red Flame Marketplace! The guards and vendors are in cahoots to rip off customers! Then they turn around and frame the victim, baying for blood! This place is crooked as hell!"
