Our Discord Server: .gg/PazjBDkTmW The water curtain appearing in the sky instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Even after forty years of the Nine Immortal Gates intervening in mortal affairs, cultivators and their techniques are still very mysterious to ordinary people. The water curtain released by Li Gongde was seen as a never-before-seen spectacle by many people in Great Qin City, naturally attracting their attention. But when they saw the figure in the water curtain, they were confused. "Isn’t that old man from the Qiao family in the execution ground?" The figure in the water curtain is "Qiao Shui", while Qiao Mu on the execution ground is actually in the disguise of "Qiao Gui". But Qiao Mu decided to confuse King Qin by splitting up, so Qiao Shui and Qiao Gui didn’t intentionally change their appearances, looking very similar. Therefore, the people in the vegetable market saw them as the same person at this time. At first, the people were still chattering, discussing and not clearly seeing what kind of good show was happening on the stage. King Qin was also puzzled, as he was always very cautious and suspicious. For a while, he didn’t do anything, just watching like the common people would, looking up. "This water curtain is obviously a magical technique… In the Great Qin Prefecture, has a cultivator arrived? What does he want to do? Which Immortal Gate is he from?" Although King Qin has already joined the Martial Arts League, it has only been a short time. Since he was originally a martial artist, his understanding of immortal techniques was not very deep. He just took out a Message Jade Talisman, preparing to send a message to the immortal elder at the Great Dao Sect when necessary. "Could it be a cultivator from the Eight Immortal Gates of another region, coming here to cause trouble?" This thought arose in King Qin’s mind, as he looked up at the sky like everyone else. Inside the water curtain. They saw one of the war generals under King Qin, Iron Wolf, fighting fiercely with Qiao Mu in the darkness, with long blades protruding from their flesh in a non-human stance. "Iron Wolf, do you know what you are now? You are just a Taoist soldier in the hands of a cultivator!" Qiao Mu shouted in the water curtain. This unusual posture immediately startled the people. "Isn’t that Iron Wolf, one of King Qin’s four war generals? How did he become like this?" Iron Wolf and the other three war generals have gained quite a reputation in Great Qin Prefecture and even the entire Zhong Province. For Great Qin Prefecture, "Inhuman Disaster" is a particularly special term. This newly established Great Qin Prefecture is special because it is ruled by King Qin. King Qin was a martial artist who believed in using martial arts to pursue the path of enlightenment. Not only was King Qin highly respected, but even his warriors like Iron Wolf had dealt with terrible disasters in the area of Great Qin Prefecture, Cangshe County, using their strong fists to defeat the threats and protect the people. King Qin and his followers were known as defenders of Great Qin Prefecture. In the months since the city had been rebuilt, many people who had suffered from disasters had come to settle in the newly rebuilt city. However, the true appearance of Iron Wolf revealed in the water curtain made them feel unfamiliar and puzzled. "What is a Taoist soldier in the hands of a cultivator? How does it relate to being a cultivator?" Many people were still confused, but looking at Iron Wolf’s stance in the picture, they started to have some guesses in their minds. After Qiao Mu spoke, everyone’s face changed dramatically. "A Taoist soldier is a puppet soldier created using mystical arts, but how can this be true?" One person who had encountered the disasters quietly whispered: "Isn’t Iron Wolf a martial artist? I’ve heard that these martial artists have reached the peak of their skills, with skin as tough as metal!" "Wake up, which kind of hard work can make a hidden knife in the flesh look?" Another martial artist argued. They vaguely understood what the Taoist soldier meant, but many people were still stubborn and didn’t believe. They are not stupid. In the newly built Great Qin City, among the migrants who relocated there, there were refugees like the widows and children of the lonely city who had suffered from inhuman disasters. There were also martial artists who admired the King Qin’s iron-fist suppression of inhuman disasters, seeing him as a martial arts hope. They crossed mountains and rivers to come here, but now someone is telling them that this is just a scam, and that those who pursue martial arts enlightenment are just part of a lie carefully woven by cultivators? They are not stupid, they just don’t want to believe! The Martial Saint, leader of martial arts, died under the heavenly thunder of the Immortal Gate. Now, after finally seeing a glimmer of hope, they are being told it’s all a scam? "Don’t trust easily, the old man in the water curtain in the sky is the one who’s going to rescue Li Gongde, that rich man’s dog. He might not be a good person either." "Thinking this is just slander.." Before the words were spoken, the actions of Iron Wolf appeared on the water curtain screen. "Taoist soldier?" Iron Wolf pretended to be agitated at first, then suddenly attacked Qiao Mu, knocking him off the roof: "So what if it’s a Taoist soldier? In today’s world, how can ordinary people be good?" He didn’t argue at all, and seemed to have already known this fact, pretending to be agitated on the surface, but actually just pretending to attack? The scene switched again… they saw Dao Xu, wearing a Taoist robe, descending from the sky to join forces with Iron Wolf to surround Qiao Mu. The Immortal Gate Great Dao Sect actually knows how to maintain the good reputation of the Immortal Gate, so their fame among ordinary people is not too bad. The cultivators of the Nine Immortal Gates sit high in the temple, honored guests of the Great Yan Imperial Court, worshipped by the people in the temple and revered as immortals. The cultivators who trigger the Inhuman Disaster are mostly a few demonic cultivators who have fallen into the demonic path, considering ordinary people as ants, acting recklessly, and occasionally fighting each other, leading to the Inhuman Disaster… Indeed, cultivators like Dao Zhen have really dealt with the Inhuman Disaster. When everyone was feeling unsure, they heard a sharp sound in the air. An arrow flew through the air towards a water curtain up high. Looking over, they saw King Qin at the execution ground lowering his bow, looking displeased. Just now he was curious about what the unfamiliar cultivator was doing and what his intentions were. He was considering asking for advice from the Great Dao Sect’s immortal, but now he couldn’t hold back anymore. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. As the arrow flew up, a pale finger force struck and broke the arrow with a touch. The one who acted was Qiao Mu. "I’m not sure who helped me act cool, but I can’t let King Qin ruin everything." Qiao Mu smiled lightly in his heart, secretly pleased. Before facing death, an unknown cultivator helped him act cool, displaying the scene of Using Martial Arts to Defeat Immortals before everyone. This should improve his Death Assessment, possibly leading to… more years in prison? Qiao Mu suddenly felt a twitch in his eye and realized something was wrong. He traveled from his teens to over two hundred years old, his whole being turning into a reckless man, so sometimes his thoughts haven’t completely changed, still following old habits. In the end. He came to Great Qin Prefecture to kill King Qin, not to die, or to pass a Death Assessment. He would prefer not to die if possible… but the problem is that if he stays in the Imperial Capital, King Qin will eventually come for him, so he made this trip. As for now… his injuries are severe, he is at the brink of death, with only one leg left, naturally having no chance of survival. "Dare to stop me?" King Qin’s eyes narrowed, anger rising in his heart at last. He gripped the long knife in his hand, shouting loudly: "Don’t believe it! The water screen above is fake, there must be some inhuman sorcery going on in the shadows!" "Everyone, leave this market now. Today, I, King Qin, must find and expose the inhuman hiding in the shadows, and bring prosperity to Great Qin City! If you stay here, innocent people may get hurt by weapons!" With a shout, the soldiers surrounding the execution ground immediately obeyed the order to drive away the many civilians. At the same time, he swiftly moved and leaped towards the water curtain in the air, the light of the knife flashing in his hand. "Open your eyes and see clearly!" Qiao Mu shouted loudly, unleashing the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method once again. The fierce blood-red aura surged like a tide, blocking another knife light from King Qin’s hand. However, in that moment, his longsword was also cut in half by the knife light, leaving him weaponless. Clenching his fists, he stared straight into King Qin’s eyes like a sharp sword. "You are deluding yourself, a coward who has abandoned the spirit of a martial artist by giving up your physical body!" This time, Qiao Mu’s Eye Sword Technique was ineffective, and King Qin just gave a cold glance without any other reaction. "Ridiculous." "The era of martial artists has long passed," he whispered in a voice only Qiao Mu could hear. "The immortal path is the true path. You are just a stubborn old man clinging to the past, while I have turned to the righteous path!" Under the pressure of the Eye Sword Technique, King Qin’s mind didn’t waver in the slightest. Throughout his life, his belief in the Tao was unwavering, but it was not martial arts that he sought, but the path of immortality! Training in martial arts was just a temporary strategy. Now transformed into a Taoist soldier with a golden body, achieving the status of King Qin was like a crucial step in his transformation from mortal to immortal, in his eyes. "Wrong? What wrong is there?" "In this world, it is the weak who are wrong! And now…" With a sharp gaze, King Qin sheathed his long sword at his waist, took a deep breath, clenched his fist, and looked towards Qiao Mu. "You are the weak one!" He spared Qiao Mu’s life to lure the Qiao family members so Qiao Mu, with a broken leg, couldn’t fight back. The situation is changing now, if Qiao Mu blocks his way, he won’t hold back anymore. "Fourfold Wave!" Qiao Mu’s punches were like continuous waves, getting stronger with each punch. The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method, with its powerful stacking wave strength, was as strong as a thousand years of practice. Qiao Mu had used this technique to defeat tough opponents before, even immortal materials couldn’t withstand it. However, when Qiao Mu’s powerful punch hit King Qin, it was like a powerless attempt, King Qin didn’t even flinch. "See that?" King Qin said calmly. "You’re on the wrong path, no matter how hard you try, it’s futile." The former top martial artist, Qin Shiqing, died by Qiao Mu’s hands, but now he is King Qin! "The era of martial artists ended forty years ago." "Taking the wrong path, no matter how hard you try, leads to nowhere." He took a deep breath and threw a punch. Without any swirling energy, because of his new body filled with Blazing Essence Gold, he had lost his inner strength, but his physical strength far surpassed before. With no inner strength, only simple speed, strong force, and hardened fists. However, he exceeded the limit of strength that a normal body could produce. His punch created a sharp explosion in the air, his fist even rubbed against the air violently, turning red and heating up like burning flames.
