Huang Tianfeng's voice was not only heard by Han Zhen, but also by Lu Qinghe.
"Huang Tianfeng."
Lu Qinghe wasn't very familiar with this name, but he remembered clearly - his brother, Huang Tianluo.
In the Kunwu Mountains, he nearly died at the hands of Wu Tong and Wang Wu, and the main reason was Huang Tianluo's involvement.
If he were just an ordinary level six Refinement expert...
Or even one with a cultivation level similar to Han Ya, it would have been a dead end for him.
"Snap!"
Lu Qinghe stood up and walked out directly.
Not far outside the door, Han Zhen had also just pushed the door open, and with Han Ya, both came out.
Seeing Lu Qinghe, Han Zhen was slightly stunned, his smile not as natural as before. "It looks like someone is disturbing our peace."
Lu Qinghe nodded.
In the inn's hall, quite a few people had gathered by now.
Lu Qinghe's eyes scanned the room and first fell on a man holding a long sword, exuding an imposing aura.
This man looked similar to Han Zhen, around thirty years old but seemed only about twenty-five due to his superior Refinement prowess. From his position and the attitudes of the people around him, it was clear he was Huang Tianfeng, ranked sixth among the Second Peak's top experts.
Lu Qinghe's gaze, after pausing on him for a moment, then bypassed City Lord Li Fengbei, Li Wan'er, and the entourage of Huang Tianfeng, directly falling on Huang Tianluo.
As Lu Qinghe's gaze landed on Huang Tianluo, it seemed he sensed something and his gaze immediately shifted to Lu Qinghe.
Upon seeing Lu Qinghe, Huang Tianluo's eyes carried a hint of cold amusement.
"Lu Qinghe, we meet again."
With a backer behind him, his attitude towards Lu Qinghe had changed drastically.
Furthermore, in front of everyone, he even made a cutting gesture towards Lu Qinghe.
"Huang Tianfeng, it's late. What do you want?"
Han Zhen didn't pay attention to Huang Tianluo and directly focused on Huang Tianfeng, with a deep sense of wariness in his eyes.
"Han Zhen, let's not beat around the bush. I'm sure the treasures obtained by Lu Qinghe in the ancient imperial family's holy land have all fallen into your hands. I don't want much - eighty percent will suffice!"
Huang Tianfeng spoke, never once glancing at Lu Qinghe.
To him, a minor character like Lu Qinghe had killed who knows how many people. Even if Land Qingyun had made him feel wary, once he reaches the Elemental Unity level, how could he be afraid of a mere Level Ten Refiner?
"Eighty percent..."
Han Zhen's expression turned sour. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Qinghe, who had been calmly watching Huang Tianluo's gesture, made his move.
No need for any idle talk.
He shot out directly from the upstairs, his Boundless Body Technique was performed to its peak, his figure like a phantom, traversing the space and heading straight towards Huang Tianluo's sneering, pitiful look. The entire process was as smooth as flowing water.
Lu Qinghe's body technique, although not at its peak yet, with the amplification of the True Qi, he was faster, but ultimately couldn't react faster than Huang Tianfeng, a peak-level Level Nine Refiner.
"How dare you! How bold of you to act recklessly, I shall cut off your arm!"
Huang Tianfeng was uncontrollably furious.
Lu Qinghe?
A character he didn't even put in his eyes, actually dared to make a move in front of him? How could anyone disregard him like that? If news of an assistant dared to make a move in front of him spreads, where would he have any face left?
Enraged, Huang Tianfeng unsheathed his sword, and a desolate, ethereal, and invisible aura spread out from his swordplay.
"Be careful, this is the ultimate move of the Lonely Cloud Sword Art, White-clothed Peak of Clouds!"
Han Ya, who was behind Han Zhen, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The peak power of Refining True Nine, especially someone like Huang Tianfeng, ranked sixth in the Refining True Nine peak, can the power of their swordsmanship be so terrifying?
Even Han Zhen couldn't help but be moved when he saw the sword of Huang Tianfeng.
Lu Qinghe, who had a record of killing the Sword King of the Golden Dragon, knew, as did Huang Tianfeng, that at this moment, with this sword, not to mention killing a small golden dragon sword king, even Li Fengbei, the lord of the ninth-level refining city, would definitely not escape death.
Facing this sword of Huang Tianfeng, Lu Qinghe remained calm.
There was no need to ponder the Qingping Sword.
His physical strength and understanding of swordsmanship almost reached the level of penetrating the profound, and with that, the ultimate move of this top-grade swordsmanship of Huang Tianfeng, the Yunfeng White Sleeve, in his eyes, held no mystery.
"Yuan Shi."
Yuan pointed to the sword.
Lu Qinghe only pointed out.
With one finger, his true qi, blood, and mind all operated at the same time, facing this supreme treasure sword that Huang Tianfeng struck with, he directly pointed at the tip of the sword with his flesh and blood body!
This bold, unrestrained, and crazy way of fighting made the onlookers such as Han Ya, Li Wan'er, Han Zhen, Huang Tianluo, and Li Fengbei unable to help but exclaim.
Facing a supreme treasure sword with flesh and blood!?
"Buzz!"
Before they were able to curse Lu Qinghe for his ignorance and foolhardiness, a burst of sword chant resounded through the sky.
"Bang!"
A thick wave of air erupted from Huang Tianfeng's sword edge.
In the middle of the inn, it was like the explosion of thunder. Within the thunder, there was a surging wave of air that scattered in all directions.
The surging wave of air swept over, and the nearby Huang Tianluo, Li Wan'er, and some guards with weaker cultivation levels were directly blown away. Even Li Fengbei, the lord of the ninth-level refining city, couldn't help but retreat continuously.
Some of the tables, chairs, and decorations in the inn were all shattered and turned into shreds by the impact of the wave of air.
"Bang!"
Following the spread of the wave of air, there was also the sound of metal and gold shattering.
Broken! Broken! Broken!
The incredibly strong supreme treasure sword that Huang Tianfeng held in his hand was directly broken into three pieces by the shock wave, and splashed out within the shock wave.
One piece shot into the shoulder of a nearby guard, one piece ruthlessly inserted into the overhead beam, penetrating most of it, and the other piece remained in Huang Tianfeng's hand.
"This..."
Huang Tianfeng was somewhat stunned by this result.
Broken!
Flesh and blood, broke the supreme treasure sword!?
Even a ninth-level demon beast would not be able to possess such a strong physical strength. For a human, this was completely unimaginable.
Unless...
Crush!
The opponent's true qi overwhelmingly dominated!
Lu Qinghe, isn't he only a sixth-level peak Refining True expert? Even if it's been four months, and his true qi has advanced to the seventh level, his true qi level is still far from being able to overwhelmingly dominate a ninth-level peak Refining True expert, right!?
Wanting to overwhelm!
The gap in true qi between the two must be at least doubled!
Lu Qinghe's true qi is twice as strong!?
Unbelievable was written all over Huang Tianfeng's eyes.
Soon, he understood that this was a fact!
Yuan pointed and shattered Huang Tianfeng's supreme treasure sword with one finger, showing no signs of stopping. The residual force did not weaken, but instead fiercely descended onto Huang Tianfeng.
Even though Huang Tianfeng immediately displayed his body technique to dodge, and the finger only landed on his shoulder, the overwhelming true qi that was powerful enough to create a crush still exploded, shattering his entire shoulder and half of his body, and part of his arm into pieces.
"Bang!"
Blood splattered!
Accompanied by the shrill screams of Huang Tianfeng, it resonated through the inn.
Then, Lu Qinghe was completely uninterested in chasing after the dismembered Huang Tianfeng. He stepped forward, appearing in front of Huang Tianluo, who had been overturned by the eruption of air, and with one step, he crushed the arm that had previously made the decapitation gesture into pieces!
"Crack!"
The sound of bones breaking was so clear at this moment.
"Ah!"
The agonizing screams simultaneously came from the mouths of Huang Tianfeng and Huang Tianluo.
"My hand! My hand!"
Huang Tianfeng's entire arm was shattered by the profound force contained in Yuan Yijian's finger, blood flowed continuously, completely losing the potential for healing.
Losing an arm, even for a genius, would greatly reduce their combat power.
As for Huang Tianluo, his arm was broken by Lu Qinghe's kick, and apart from the painful screams, he could no longer make any sound.
"Master Huang..."
Recovering from the impact of the shockwave, Li Fengbei, who saw the scene before him, felt his voice trembling slightly.
Because of the influence of the Ancient Sword Sect, Li Fengbei had previously offended Lu Qinghe, and in a situation where he had no backing, he had wanted to curry favor with Lu Qinghe. Now, with Huang Tianfeng, the sixth-ranked figure of the second peak, actively confronting Lu Qinghe, his intentions to curry favor and reconcile naturally dissipated, and he directly followed Huang Tianfeng, intending to completely eliminate any future troubles.
However...
The final result was so utterly overturned.
"This... this..."
Originally, Han Zhen, who had been trying to come up with a plan to break the deadlock because of Huang Tianfeng's arrival, felt his heart convulsing with pain as he witnessed the scene before him.
Even Huang Tianfeng, whom no one could handle, had met with such a miserable fate after a collision with Lu Qinghe?
If Huang Tianfeng was in such a state, then what about him, Han Zhen...
For a moment, a sense of regret and fear welled up in him for no reason.
Thank goodness... Thank goodness when he met Lu Qinghe, he didn't forcibly ask questions, otherwise, Huang Tianfeng would have been his fate.
"Tenfold Refinement! Tenfold Refinement! You actually broke through to the tenfold refinement level! You have obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Royal Family, broken through to the tenfold refinement level!?"
Huang Tianfeng, who had lost an arm, cried out in pain.
Although Lu Qinghe's finger technique was remarkable, what was even more frightening was his true qi.
Huang Tianfeng practiced the high-level Refinement Technique named the Solitary Mountain's Secret, which was also a refined technique no less inferior to the Profound Light Technique. However, the refined qi he cultivated with this technique, at the pinnacle of the ninth level of refinement, was no match for Lu Qinghe.
"Tenfold Refinement! Broke through to the tenfold refinement level in one go!?"
Thinking about the good fortune Lu Qinghe had recently obtained, Han Zhen's eyes flashed with greed, but he quickly realized the huge gap in cultivation between the two, and promptly concealed the greed in his eyes.
However, the jealousy in his heart lingered.
