Qin Feng noticed that Su Yi remained silent and pondering, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Young master, ignorance is forgivable. I won't hold it against you for that little incident just now."
Pausing for a moment, a hint of pride appeared in his reserved demeanor as he continued, "However, now that you know my identity, you should be able to see that I genuinely appreciate your skills. I hope you won't disappoint my good intentions."
Seeing this, Huang Qianjun couldn't help but become angry and said, "Qin Feng, if my father-in-law knew of your audacity, he would be infuriated!"
"Audacity?" Qin Feng's face darkened. "I gave you face earlier, which is why I didn't bother with all the details. But do you really think highly of yourself as the top figure?"
"I'll give you a chance. Disappear from my sight now, or don't blame me for embarrassing you in front of everyone!"
His words were plain but filled with disdain.
"You..." Huang Qianjun's face turned pale with anger.
"Get lost!" Qin Feng snapped.
The two attendants by his side immediately stepped forward with unfriendly expressions. It seemed that if Huang Qianjun uttered another word, they would engage in a fight.
Su Yi furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at Huang Qianjun, his voice tinged with a faint dissatisfaction. "You've been following me for so long, why are you suddenly so restrained today? Are you concerned about our distant family relationship? Or do you think I can't handle the situation at hand?"
Huang Qianjun stiffened, his face rapidly changing.
Qin Feng was also surprised, his face growing gloomy as he said, "From the tone of your voice, you don't even put people like us in your eyes?"
"You're nothing but shit! Relying on your father's power, you think you can do whatever you want and act tyrannically? You're just a dumb pig!" Huang Qianjun erupted, casting aside all restraint.
He had been holding back for a long time, but more importantly, he realized that his behavior had displeased Su Yi.
Qin Feng's face instantly turned cold.
"Seeking death!"
The two attendants who had already stepped forward became furious and immediately took action.
One swung his palm towards Huang Qianjun's face, while the other made a gesture as if to pounce, preventing Huang Qianjun from taking advantage and escaping.
These two individuals who served as Qin Feng's bodyguards were formidable early-stage Qi Gathering Realm experts.
At this moment, their coordination was seamless as they launched their attacks.
However, now that Huang Qianjun had made up his mind, how could he fear to back down?
He let out a loud roar and threw a punch forward.
Bang!
Although he managed to block the incoming palm strike, Huang Qianjun was shaken and stumbled, feeling so uncomfortable that he almost coughed up blood.
Before he could react, another bang resounded as a foot kicked his knee, causing him to stumble and sit on the ground.
Just as he was about to struggle to get up, the lean and vigorous figure of the black-clad guard reached out and pressed his hand against Huang Qianjun's head, coldly saying, "If you struggle again, I'll twist your head off!"
The entire scene fell silent.
Many people in the distant smithy were alarmed and watched from afar. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but shake their heads.
Isn't this seeking death by offending the son of the county governor?
Qin Feng looked down with a superior gaze and sneered, "Is that all?"
To everyone's surprise, despite being suppressed, Huang Qianjun still refused to submit. His eyes were filled with rage as he shouted, "If you have the guts, kill me! Otherwise, I will make sure you suffer a fate worse than death in the future!"
His vicious words caused a slight change in the expressions of the onlookers, but soon they couldn't help but burst into laughter, paying no attention to his threats.
Qin Feng's tone was cold as he said, "Slap him!"
The black-clad guard revealed a sinister smile, placing one hand on Huang Qianjun's head and raising the other, viciously slapping him across the face.
However, before this slap could land, his vision blurred, and his face suddenly felt intense pain as he was struck by a slap.
Snap!
In the crisp sound of the slap, the black-clad guard stumbled back, and upon closer inspection, his cheek was swollen and bleeding, raised high.
"Who did it?"
The black-clad guard exclaimed in anger.
The gazes of the others all turned towards one person—
Su Yi, dressed in a blue robe!
Qin Feng and the others showed astonishment, seemingly unable to believe that this young man, who had been silently observing, would suddenly strike at a time like this.
The people in the distant smithy were also shocked. Did this kid have a death wish? He actually dared to fight against the guards of the County Governor's Mansion?
"Su brother, I have embarrassed you this time," Huang Qianjun said in a dejected manner, his face full of shame.
"Knowing shame leads to courage. You have been following me too obediently before, lacking tempering. I didn't lend you a hand just now, do you blame me for it?" Su Yi's expression remained calm.
Huang Qianjun shook his head. "I only blame myself for being incompetent and embarrassing Su brother."
Su Yi sighed lightly. "It's also my fault. I've never given you any guidance, so you're unable to handle even such a small situation now."
"Get up quickly."
As Su Yi spoke, he turned to Qin Feng and the others, his expression becoming even more indifferent. "Now, it's time to settle the score."
"Settle the score? I'll kill you first!"
The black-clad guard, who had been slapped, already had a furious expression on his face. As soon as he heard this, he rushed forward and swung his palm towards Su Yi's head.
How can the might of a martial artist in the early stage of Qi Gathering realm be ordinary?
Even the onlookers from afar couldn't help but worry for Su Yi.
Crack!
They saw Su Yi raise his hand and casually twist it. The black-clad guard's wrist broke first, followed by his entire right arm twisting and contorting like a twisted ribbon. The muscles and tendons in his arm tore apart one by one, causing him to bend his body in pain.
But before he could even scream in agony, his throat was lightly tapped by a jade-like bamboo staff.
Bang!
The protruding Adam's apple sank in, and his neck bones shattered like paper, causing his head to slump to the side limply.
Then, like garbage, this martial artist in the early stage of Qi Gathering realm was thrown onto the ground, his eyes wide open, filled with pain and confusion.
He took his last breath.
The whole scene fell silent, and everyone was shocked and horrified.
In such a casual manner, a martial artist in the Qi Gathering realm was crushed like a fly!
"This..."
Even the owner of the smithy was dumbfounded.
He had always thought that Su Yi was a young artifact refiner. Never did he expect that this young man would be a ruthless killer!
"If someone harms the people around me, death is the only choice they have."
Su Yi spoke calmly and composedly, as if the life he had just taken was that of an insignificant insect.
"You bastard!"
Qin Feng was stimulated by this scene, his face turning pale, and he shouted in a harsh voice, "What are you all waiting for? Attack together and take down this madman!"
The other five guards by his side rushed forward.
Each of them drew their swords and knives, exuding an intimidating aura.
Having seen and experienced many battles, they could easily recognize that Su Yi, despite his young appearance, was an extremely ruthless and terrifying individual.
Knowing this, they attacked without holding back, not daring to be careless.
"So what if there are many people? It's just a case of hitting a rock with an egg."
With a scornful voice, Su Yi's wrist trembled, and a long sword emerged from the bamboo staff with a resounding clang.
This sword seemed to be crafted from a ray of light cut from the cyan-colored sky. It was transparent and clean, emanating a faint green hue. Within the sword's blade, there were faint traces of shimmering light, giving it a hazy and ethereal appearance.
The edge of the sword was sharp and dazzling, causing everyone's pupils to feel a piercing sensation.
As the sword was unsheathed, a thunderous sword chant resounded, causing people's eardrums to ache and their hearts to tremble.
Swish!
As Su Yi swung the sword.
A series of rapid cracking sounds echoed, and all the blades, spears, swords, and halberds in the hands of the guards were easily severed as if they were made of tofu.
Caught off guard, the guards' expressions changed drastically. What sharp and powerful spiritual sword!
Before they could react, Su Yi shook the sword, and the blade instantly blossomed with countless cold rays, filling the sky with sword shadows.
Spurt!
Spurt!
Spurt!
Blood splattered like fireworks, bursting into a series of blood flowers.
The five guards in the Qi Gathering realm had their throats pierced, blood gushing out from the holes. They stumbled and fell to the ground one by one, their pupils dilated and their faces filled with confusion.
Thick, pungent blood permeated the air.
One sword, decimating the enemy group!
This domineering and fierce scene terrified everyone present, making their scalps tingle and sending shivers down their spines.
How terrifying!
Those guards were the elite experts of the County Governor's Mansion, the cream of the crop. Ordinary Qi Gathering realm warriors were no match for them.
But now, under a single sword, five such experts had all been slain!
Huang Qianjun remained relatively calm, his gaze involuntarily drawn to the spiritual sword in Su Yi's hand.
Although stained with blood, the sword remained transparent and clean, its sharpness as intimidating as lightning.
"You... you..."
Qin Feng's body trembled, his face pale, his whole body shivering like a sieve, his mind blank.
He never expected that despite knowing his identity, this young man in the cyan robe would dare to make a move.
Even more unexpectedly, the guards by his side couldn't withstand the might of the opponent's sword!
"Is that all?"
Not far away, Su Yi held the sword, his expression indifferent.
Just a few words, but they felt like a great trampling and humiliation!
Qin Feng clenched his fists quietly, trying to control the fear and anger in his heart as he said, "I was blind before and offended Young Master. I hope Young Master can spare me some face for the County Governor's Mansion..."
Towards the end, his teeth were grinding against each other, making a grating sound. He was truly terrified.
"When you humiliated the people by my side earlier, you didn't even bother to pay attention to me."
Su Yi spoke as he took a step forward.
Qin Feng was so frightened that he quickly stepped back, shouting, "If you kill me, aren't you afraid of retaliation from the County Governor's Mansion?"
Seeing Su Yi approaching step by step, he was on the verge of despair and collapse, shouting, "Cousin! Quickly, make him stop! My father is your uncle!"
Huang Qianjun sneered. Before, he didn't even acknowledge me as his cousin, but now, facing death, he changes his mind. Truly despicable!
Suddenly, Su Yi stood still, as if changing his mind, and said, "I'll give you a chance. Kneel down and slap yourself in the face. This time, I'll spare your life."
As he spoke, he pointed to Huang Qianjun not far away.
Thud!
Qin Feng knelt down, fiercely slapping himself in the face while shouting, "Cousin, it was my lack of insight earlier. I was wrong, I truly was wrong!"
Su Yi: "..."
He thought Qin Feng would hesitate and struggle, but who would have thought that this guy would kneel down directly.
Even Huang Qianjun was taken aback, his expression complicated, and his heart churned.
He never expected that Qin Feng, who appeared dignified and the son of a county governor, would be so spineless.
It's ridiculous that he had actually considered his identity before and chosen to endure and retreat...
Huang Qianjun suddenly had a realization that identity and status were ultimately just superficial. Only by shattering and stripping away this facade could one see a person's true nature.
Just like Qin Feng, once you set aside his identity as the son of a county governor, he was nothing more than a coward who couldn't withstand a beating!
"If you're not satisfied, you can kill him now," Su Yi casually remarked.
With that statement, the atmosphere became oppressively tense.
The onlookers in the distance couldn't help but change their expressions. Even if the son of a county governor was unworthy, if he were to be killed just like that, it would be no different from tearing open the heavens!
