Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 148 Catching a sword with your face: no skill involved, just sheer power!

In the land of Zhuolu, which stretches to the southwest, there is a mountain called Nantianmen (South Heavenly Gate), and on that mountain is a peak called Feilai Peak (Flying Peak).

As early as three thousand years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, an immortal passed by the South Heavenly Gate and saw a dragon spirit appearing in the mountain gate. So he left a magic scroll, sealed the mountain, renamed it the Immortal Mountain, and used it as his own cave dwelling.

The immortal spread his magic throughout the southern mountains, and in an instant, the mountain spirits were vanquished. The people at the foot of the mountains were filled with gratitude, thanking the immortal for his blessings, and they would offer him auspicious offerings every year at the end of the year.

Further on, three thousand years have passed. The mountain is home to immortals, with millions of disciples and tens of millions of followers. Their businesses are spread throughout Zhuolu. The name of the Qi-eating cultivators of the Immortal Mountain is widely known, and they are even somewhat famous in the outer universe.

Such a mountain, such a fairyland, even in the Zhuolu area, both the Yang and Li families would have to give it some respect.

Anyone who dared to oppose the Immortal Mountain was executed without exception.

For a long time, the cultivators of the Immortal Mountain have lived in peace and prosperity.

Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever.

With a single, powerful blow from the Foundation, the eastern gate of Zhuolu was shattered, two million elite troops were wiped out, and the important gateway fortress fell into the Foundation's hands.

At this moment, the foundation has the upper hand over Zhuolu's underwear.

The ancient families, with their thousand-year history, were all disheartened by the fierce army of Aolai Kingdom, fearing that the new ruler of the East Sea might suddenly decide to launch a full-scale attack.

The Qi-eating warriors of Undying Mountain were also greatly shocked, but their shock came from a different point than that of the Yang and Li families.

The Yang and Li families were shocked to find that their two million-strong army was utterly defeated!

Undying Mountain had long known the true nature of the Yang and Li families. Both sides had sparred frequently in Zhuolu. Undying Mountain remained calm about the annihilation of their two million-strong army, after all, their fighting strength was truly lacking.

What shocked Undying Mountain was that after Qin Feng, the chairman of the foundation, took over the East Sea, three of the other seventeen blessed lands among the eighteen blessed lands celebrated, while the remaining thirteen refused to comment. As for Zhuolu, Zhuolu naturally opposed it, but no one cared about Zhuolu's opinion. After all, everyone could see that Zhuolu was the fish on the chopping block and the East Sea Foundation was the butcher. What good would it do for the fish to oppose the butcher?

The Undying Mountain has always had a small dream: to become the master of a blessed land and dominate a region.

Now, as the Foundation fulfills his childhood dream right before his eyes, the shock he feels is unimaginable.

The Seventeen Blessed Lands would actually allow a human to become the Lord of the East Sea!

If I am not dead and my ancestral home is still red, why can't I become the ruler of Zhuolu?

In addition, with the Yang and Li families in various disarray and the remnants of the Donghai clan wreaking havoc in Zhuolu, the entire Zhuolu can be described as a thriving and prosperous land.

This is the perfect time for the Qi-eating warriors of Undying Mountain to emerge!

As long as I can gain the approval of the majority in Zhuolu, establish a moral high ground, and then suppress the Yang and Li families in terms of combat power, then I will be the lord of Zhuolu!

The Undying Mountain began to expand outwards, but expansion was not easy.

First of all, the Yang and Li families aren't stupid. If you want to expand, then let you expand! We two may not be able to beat Qin Feng, but we can't beat you, you bastard?

The Yang and Li families began to suppress the Undying Mountain in various ways!

At the same time, a large number of sects began to raid the stronghold of the Undying Mountain. For example, recently many bald-headed, white-robed travelers have come to the Undying Mountain to recruit believers, promote the Pure Land, and call themselves the Pure Land Sect.

Undying Mountain suffered blows from both inside and outside, but the sect leader was no pushover either. If you do the first day of the month, I'll do the fifteenth!

After careful consideration, the sect leader of the Undying Mountain chose the most efficient method: to directly dispatch experts to physically eliminate his enemies.

When the Li and Yang families saw this, they thought, "Wow, you're not playing by the rules! You're resorting to underhanded tactics!"

After discussing it, the Yang and Li families realized that although they had some experts, they were not familiar with the underhanded assassination techniques of the martial arts world. They were no match for the Undying Mountain, who came from the martial arts world.

But both families are rich!

The three major assassin organizations in the outer universe: Quicksand, Net, and Death Alliance.

Quicksand has already ceased operations. Although Luowang has not directly shut down, it prohibits its members from going out to do missions under their own names, and only allows them to do things in their private personal capacity.

The Death Squad Alliance is operating normally, with a large number of members. Recently, they have been aggressively taking over the old customers of Luo Wang and Liu Sha, and their business is booming.

The Li family sought out the Death Squad Alliance, and the Yang family sought out the Net. In an instant, martial arts manhunts targeting Undying Mountain flew towards Undying Mountain like snowflakes.

Undying Mountain is in trouble. They want to wipe out the assassins in one fell swoop, but the assassins aren't stupid. They say, "Our work area is in Zhuolu, but that doesn't mean we live there. We live in Aolai Country! We fly our spaceships to Zhuolu to do business, and after we're done, we go home to sleep! With transportation so advanced these days, and secondhand spaceships not expensive, isn't it normal to buy one?"

In this way, the boomerang flew back to the Donghai Foundation.

Tianhe Town, located below Tianhe Pass, originally had a population of only 20,000 to 30,000. With the cessation of the Battle of Zhuolu, a large number of assassins found employment. The influx of assassins boosted the development of various industries in the area. In just over half a month, the number of assassins had reached nearly 500,000. Moreover, industries related to assassins, such as mission taking, medical care, weaponry, identity documents, disguise, magical artifacts, and freight, have developed rapidly.

"Hello, please show me your personal identification!"

"Personal identification? I don't have any."

"If not, I'm sorry, but according to the Foundation's regulations, Tianhe City does not allow anyone of unknown identity to enter."

"How about this, you can use my two swords as proof of identity?"

"These two swords look very familiar, they are very similar to the weapons of a former renowned master, Hei Bai Xuan Jian."

"I am Xuan Jian!"

Swah——

Everyone at the reception desk took several steps back, and even the staff member who was examining the twin swords lost his grip, causing them to fall onto the table.

Some of the martial arts practitioners waiting in line to enter trembled and whispered, "Black and White Xuanjian, the number one in the Luo Wang! It is said that he once had an earth-shattering battle with Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang, and they were evenly matched! Today, he has actually returned to the martial arts world!"

"Is this person real or fake?!"

"In the martial arts world, impersonating someone else's name is a grave offense, especially impersonating a master's name—it's practically suicide! Better to believe it exists than not!"

"Unbelievable! This mere Tianhe City has attracted the long-lost top assassin of the Luo Wang, Hei Bai Xuan Jian! It seems there's a lot of business going on in Zhuolu!"

"It must be huge, otherwise why would a senior like Hei Bai Xuan Jian come out of seclusion!"

Qin Feng calmly put away his double scissors, paid a 1,000 yuan processing fee, took the number plate, and walked through the passage.

Along the way, Qin Feng looked at the heavily armed guards and sighed inwardly, wondering how much tax money they could collect from such a large territory!

It seems that there are far more ways to make money in Aolai Kingdom than I imagined!

The officials in charge of the economy were Lord Xinling and Lord Pingyuan, who were the vice presidents.

When the year draws to a close, it's necessary to hold a meeting, bring all these association presidents together, and give them a good thrashing.

"Hey! You're the number one member of the Luo Wang organization, Hei Bai Xuan Jian?"

A hoarse, deep voice reached Qin Feng's ears.

Qin Feng turned around and glanced at the person who had spoken.

He was about 2.5 meters tall, with a burly build and dark skin. Although it was freezing cold, he was wearing an off-the-shoulder jacket, a necklace of animal teeth around his neck, and a black iron sword slung over his back. There was even a chain connecting the hilt of the sword to his right wrist.

This man exuded a savage aura, and at first glance, he seemed like a barbarian. His cultivation level was also not high, only at the third realm. Qin Feng could easily see through his thoughts.

"Is this Black and White Mystic Sword powerful? Is it as powerful as my Sheng Qi?"

"I have to spar with him!"

"I've been away from the farm for so long, and I haven't encountered a single formidable opponent yet. The number one in the Luo Wang organization must be quite something!"

Sheng Qi, a genius from Longchang who will later go to the Seven Kingdoms Prison for arduous training!

He's practically an expert in crime!

A master of prison breaks!

However, he is still in the same stage as when he first came out, and obviously he is not qualified to go to Longchang for further studies.

Faced with such an outstanding junior disciple, Qin Feng, as Hei Bai Xuan Jian, naturally couldn't refuse to give him face.

Qin Feng raised his hand and said, "I'll give you a chance! Come on!"

Sheng Qi laughed heartily and said, "As expected of Hei Bai Xuan Jian, you are so efficient in your words and deeds, without saying a word! I like your temperament!"

In the middle of the huge venue, onlookers quickly gathered on both sides.

Almost everyone in this city is a wandering outlaw or outlaw. They all enjoy watching the excitement and know a little about each other.

"Sheng Qi, the legendary strongest disciple of the Farmer Clan in this generation, is actually challenging Lord Xuan Jian!"

"Come on! Lord Xuan Jian? What level is Lord Xuan Jian? He's the number one in the Luo Wang. In my opinion, this Black and White Xuan Jian in front of me is just a fake!"

"Why don't you just hit it and see? What's the rush!"

Sheng Qi drew his Xuan Tie Greatsword, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qin Feng, and said, "Sheng Qi, a third-realm expert, humbly requests your guidance, senior!"

Qin Feng showed no intention of drawing his sword, and smiled faintly, "Come on!"

Sheng Qi suddenly spun the giant sword in his hand, and the giant sword spun around several times along with his body before he threw it out!

A faint white aura could be seen enveloping the greatsword; this was the aura from the [Tear] effect.

[Tear] True Qi is considered mid-grade among True Qi, more powerful than [Cut], but not as powerful as [Crush]!

Qin Feng looked at the giant sword hurtling towards him, raised his right hand, and flicked out his index and middle fingers!

Clang!

A tremendous sword cry reverberated around them.

The massive black iron sword was forcefully held between Qin Feng's right fingers!

The tip of the sword was almost touching Qin Feng's nose!

At that moment, everyone gasped! Whew, that was close!

However, Qin Feng then smiled slightly, "If it's just like this, Brother Sheng Qi might find it hard to accept. How about we increase the intensity a bit?"

As he spoke, Qin Feng released the tip of his sword!

Everyone stared wide-eyed, holding their breath. Had Hei Bai Xuan Jian gone mad? Was he going to take the giant sword with his face?

To be precise, it was the tip of his nose that caught the giant sword!

Qin Feng's nose collided violently with the blade of the giant sword. The next moment, the massive blade of the giant sword hummed and shattered, shooting backward!

The immense force, along with the dragging of the iron chain, pulled Sheng Qi backwards, sending him flying nearly a hundred meters away!

Everyone who saw this exclaimed in surprise.

"He took a giant sword in his face and sent a third-realm expert of the Farmer Clan flying with a flick of his nose! It's Hei Bai Xuan Jian! It's true!"

"Black and White Xuanjian have returned to the martial world! The number one in the Luo Wang organization, who dares to challenge them!"

"It's unbelievable that an assassin could possess such incredibly resilient skin; even immense force of true energy couldn't leave a single mark on his skin!"

"We pay our respects to Senior Hei Bai Xuan Jian!"

Qin Feng shook his head in boredom and turned to leave.

Behind him, Sheng Qi struggled to his feet after a long while. Blood smeared his mouth as he stared at Hei Bai Xuan Jian's retreating figure, muttering to himself, "No technique, just sheer brute force! He's inhuman!"
