?Mobile reading Jiahe Ikuto had been wondering how Qin Feng would make his appearance—most likely, he would descend from the heavens, catching him off guard, and then rush in without hesitation to rescue the hostage. If that were truly the case, it would indeed be a case of the mantis catching the cicada, only to find the oriole waiting in the background. After all, the Master of Wuli was no stranger to aggressive tactics; his bone staff, combined with the incantation "Wā qiě nǐ jī jī," produced powerful light spheres. Yet, the outcome fell far short of his expectations. Qin Feng entered calmly and steadily, his expression natural, as if he were walking into his own home. Ikuto felt both disappointed and deeply respectful—such composure and courage were not something anyone could easily achieve. "It's really you," Qin Feng began, lowering his gaze to look at Liu Su, who was tied to the pillar, and asked, "Su Su, are you all right?" "Mmm…," the beautiful senior's mouth was sealed with tape, allowing her only to emit nasal murmurs. It seemed she hadn't sustained any injury, which gave Qin the peace of mind he had been waiting for. "Qin Feng, I deeply admire your courage," said Kaga Ichiro, "but I must say today is your last day." Qin smiled. "Really? I have no idea where your confidence comes from. Last time, I defeated Kaga Ichiro-san—the very top of your Kaga clan, considered the first master of your lineage. Even he couldn't stand a chance against me. How do you think you'll fare?" These words carried a clear tone of mockery. Since Kaga Ichiro-san's death, he has carried that sense of resentment ever since. In the world of cultivation, just as in the ninja world, it is no easy task to produce a truly exceptional master. Within the Kaga clan, Kaga Ichiro-san was hailed as the outstanding master of the past fifty years, renowned throughout the ninja world. Yet no one could have imagined that he would fall in a single mission during a mission in the Chinese lands. "Qin Feng, since I've come here, it means I'm ready. Today, you will surely die," said Kaga Ichiro, gritting his teeth. Qin, the young lord, glanced around and didn't notice any obvious traps—after all, in just two hours, what could be accomplished? There was one thing, however, that Kaga Ichiro had done very wisely: he had bound Liu Su to the pillar. He knew Qin Feng possessed a magical artifact that could make people vanish instantly. But if someone were bound to a pillar, then the master and a large section of the building would have to vanish with them—would that be possible? The answer was no, otherwise Qin Feng would have already used it. "Then let's find out," said Qin, extending his right hand, and his flying sword appeared automatically. Kaga Ichiro took a deep breath, grasped the hilt of his sword firmly, and slowly drew out his Japanese blade, shouting, "It's your life!" Indeed, Qin Feng had launched the attack first. Boom… Just ten meters after the flying sword had launched, a violent explosion erupted beneath his feet, sending dust swirling and instantly engulfing him in flames. Liu Su's eyes widened, tears welling up in his眶. Jiahe Yimu quickly retracted his head, as the flying sword skimmed past his scalp, cutting off strands of hair and leaving a comically white streak on his head. He had thought of a tank obstacle mine—something that would hardly kill Qin Feng—but hadn't anticipated such a swift counterattack, let alone suffering a setback. Now, Qin Da-Shao not only had a significantly higher cultivation level, but also much greater combat experience, especially after his encounter with Jiahe Yishan, which deepened his understanding of the ninja. Liu Su beamed with relief; she had initially feared Qin Shao was seriously injured during the explosion, but seeing him unharmed, she finally felt completely at ease. Swoosh! Swoosh! The flying sword continued its assault, and Jiahe Yimu was forced to keep raising his Japanese sword to barely parry the attacks. Now he was certain beyond doubt that his younger brother's death was not due to mere luck, but a result of Qin Feng's superior strength. He opened his mouth in astonishment, shouting, "Are you dead? Why aren't you moving!" This line was meant for the Wuzheng Master. He wasn't unwilling to come to help—rather, the timing wasn't quite ripe, and he had noticed that he was being watched by a pair of eyes. Since it was a surprise attack, there had to be an opportunity for a decisive, one-hit knockout. Even if such a perfect moment wasn't available, he couldn't just show up casually—how would that preserve the element of surprise? Therefore, the Wuzheng Master remained calm and composed. In contrast, Jiahe Ikuto felt urgent, because he sensed he might not be able to hold his own against Qin Feng. If the battle continued like this, he would inevitably suffer losses. That's why he urgently asked the Wuzheng Master to step in—no longer concerned about whether it was a surprise attack or not—his priority was simply to secure his own position. With both of them working together, he believed they would have a better chance than facing the enemy alone. He thought that once he called out, his ally would immediately appear. Yet once again, he was left disappointed. The Wushen Master dared not step forward because the gaze fixed upon him sent deep chills through his very being—he felt certain that as soon as he moved, he would be attacked from behind. Qin Feng finally understood why, despite the ongoing conflict with Jiahe Ichiku, Isabella had not come to rescue him—apparently, this young man had already enlisted allies. Jiahe Ichiku was furious, his teeth gnashing with irritation; he realized that the people he trusted truly weren't reliable. He would have to rely on himself. Grasping his long sword tightly, he roared, "Infinite Extinction of the Divine—One Sword Cut!" A sharp, piercing blade of light surged toward Qin Feng. Immediately, he launched a second strike, "Infinite Annihilation of the Divine—One Sword Cut!" Qin, soaring through the air, effortlessly dodged both attacks and smiled, "The broad-shouldered, bent-kneed giant from the Sun Kingdom—I'd like to share with you the very thing I once told your cousin. I'm merely an ordinary cultivator. You can't even land a blow on me. Yet you still proudly call your strikes 'Divine Annihilation' and 'Divine Extinction "Qin Feng, don't act so confident—today I will definitely kill you!" he roared. "Then go ahead and try," Qin the young lord murmured a spell while simultaneously unleashing the Lightning Burst. Crack... whoosh... While avoiding the lightning that surged straight at him, Hachiguchi Koki was struck by an ice spear from behind, tumbling to the ground with a solid dog-licked landing. Moreover, a deep wound now marred his back, visible right through to the bone. Struggling to rise, he cursed, "Wu Ling Master, are you really going to watch me fall until you finally step in?"
