Xuanwu War Sovereign

’So it’s Qian Kai who’s been causing all this trouble!’ Qin Feng thought in surprise, gripping his Beiming Divine Water Sword.

Qin Feng had sensed the gray-robed man the moment he entered Bishui Cave, detecting him through the fluctuations in the water vapor.

Qin Feng recognized the time incense carried on the breeze!

He was extremely familiar with this peculiar fragrance.

As a preeminent figure among thieves and an elite treasure hunter, Qin Feng had often used this strange incense, capable of paralyzing a Martial Artist’s senses, to commit murder and robbery in his past life.

He had even improved the formula for time incense, upgrading it into several more potent versions of enchanting incense.

Of course, Qin Feng was also well aware of its weakness. As long as you blocked the circulation of air, you wouldn’t be affected by it.

He just never expected that the gray-robed man would be Qian Kai!

’Looks like there’s definitely something strange about this Qian Kai. In all likelihood, some thousand-year-old ghost is behind this. Otherwise, he couldn’t have gone through such a massive change in such a short time!’

Qin Feng sneered. ’But since you dared to walk into my Bishui Cave today, you’re not walking out!’

With a wave of his hand, a flash of light burst forth. At the same time, the color drained from Qian Kai’s face.

The Level Six array, the Xuanyuan Two Phases Refining Spirit Array, activated.

An invisible aura surged, and the environment seemed to transform in an instant. The cave became a dense, gloomy forest, filled with towering iron trees, their branches and leaves lush and thick.

Qian Kai gritted his teeth. "An array!"

An ancient voice spoke in his mind, "Relax. With me here, you have nothing to fear. However, this is a Level Six array with both Water and Wood Attributes. Be careful. Each of these iron trees is a Transformation of the Innate Wood Qi within the array!"

Panic flickered in Qian Kai’s eyes. He didn’t have a Forbidden-Breaking Pearl on him right now!

But remembering the Venerable’s words, Qian Kai calmed down and prepared to face the challenge.

"Whistling Green Wood!" Qin Feng’s figure appeared within the array. He raised a hand and pointed, and countless streams of Innate Wood Qi condensed in mid-air, forming a massive iron log that hurtled toward Qian Kai.

BANG!

Qian Kai’s figure flashed, and he reappeared ten paces away!

Qian Kai’s expression was grim. His eyes scanned for a flaw in the formation, intent on breaking out of the Grand Array.

’Very good!’ A mocking glint appeared in Qin Feng’s eyes as his powerful Spiritual Sense manipulated the Innate Wood Qi within the array.

RUMBLE!

Innumerable streams of Innate Wood Qi converged from all over the array, this time forming dozens of massive, cyan-green Ancient Wood logs in mid-air.

"Go!" Qin Feng shouted lightly.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Dozens of massive Ancient Wood logs came crashing down on Qian Kai!

’This is bad!’ Locked on by Qin Feng’s Spiritual Sense, Qian Kai cursed inwardly. His movements were incredibly agile. Like a gray cloud, he weaved left and right among the dozens of massive, cyan-green Ancient Wood logs as they rained down.

Qin Feng could tell it was an exceptionally masterful Stepping Technique.

It was at least a High Tier Spirit Martial Level technique, and might even be a True Martial Level Stepping Technique.

He darted left and right among the Ancient Wood logs like a slippery rat. After a few breaths, Qian Kai’s gray-robed figure took a final step and landed about a hundred paces away.

HUFF... HUFF... Qian Kai panted heavily, his heart still pounding with fear.

A strange glint flashed in his eyes as Qin Feng sneered. ’So he does have a few tricks up his sleeve. No wonder he’s so arrogant!’

"Let’s try this again! Ten Thousand Woods Transformation!" Qin Feng manipulated the endless Innate Wood Qi within the array. With a point of his finger, he created hundreds of massive, emerald-green Ancient Wood logs this time.

RUMBLE!

The Ancient Wood logs rolled and crashed into each other, and Qian Kai’s face went pale with fright.

Qian Kai screamed in his mind. ’Venerable, what do I do? There’s no way I can dodge this!’

The ancient voice instructed, ’Calm yourself. Draw the Yin Soul Sword, circulate your True Qi, and use a Spirit King’s Strike!’

Hearing this, Qian Kai’s eyes lit up. A violent aura erupted from his body, and in an instant, his presence more than tripled in strength.

This violent aura was every bit as strong as, if not stronger than, that of Young Emperor Jin from the Celestial Punishment Hall!

Taking a deep breath, a strange, gray short sword appeared in Qian Kai’s hand. His body abruptly transformed into a streak of gray lightning, plunging into the mass of hundreds of cyan-green Ancient Wood logs. Like a thunderbolt, he tore through them one by one, instantly carving a path for himself.

Qin Feng’s gaze fell on the strange, gray short sword. It was so sharp that it managed to cleave right through the cyan-green Ancient Wood logs, which were formed from the Innate Wood Qi of Creation.

’It’s a Spirit Sword! And a Mid-level Spirit Sword at that!’

’A good opportunity! I’ll use this chance to kill Qin Feng!’ His figure moved like a flash of lightning, crossing a hundred paces to appear just dozens of steps away from Qin Feng.

An icy glint flashed in Qian Kai’s eyes. In a state of Unity of Man and Sword, he lunged, aiming a killing blow at Qin Feng.

A terrifying, deadly glint erupted from the blade, reaching Qin Feng’s head in the blink of an eye.

Every pore on Qin Feng’s body contracted violently as an overwhelming sense of danger washed over him.

But Qin Feng wasn’t flustered. Instead, a cold sneer appeared on his face. Qian Kai felt a vague sense of unease but couldn’t pinpoint its source. Steeling his resolve, he brought his sword down on Qin Feng.

The pale gray sword light was incredibly fast. It swept through the black-robed youth, easily slicing his body in two. However, no blood gushed from the wound.

Qian Kai reappeared a hundred paces away, his face dark.

It was an illusion! An illusion created from water vapor!

SPLASH!

The dense forest scene within the array had, at some point, changed. It was now a vast ocean under a clear sky, with towering tides.

The Xuanyuan Two Phases Refining Spirit Array. Its Water and Wood phases could shift freely from one to the other.

’Not good! Be careful!’ the ancient voice in his mind warned anxiously.

Even without the Lingxu Venerable’s warning, Qian Kai could feel a terrifying power hurtling toward him from behind.

"Water Cannon!"

A cold voice rang out. Qin Feng stood upon the tide, his Black Robe whipping in the wind, looking like a Sea Emperor in command of a boundless ocean. With a casual point of his finger, hundreds of water jets, each as thick as a bucket, aimed at Qian Kai and blasted toward him with furious power.

Faced with hundreds of incoming water cannons, each as thick as a bucket, Qian Kai felt as if his world had gone Dark as the Night.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Qian Kai did his utmost to dodge, but he was inevitably struck by a Water Cannon. CRACK! CRACK! Excruciating pain shot through his chest. In that instant, the impact had shattered an unknown number of his ribs.

His body was flung high into the air like a kite with a snapped string. Qian Kai’s face twisted into an expression that was half-sob, half-laugh. He was going to fall to Qin Feng’s hands again.

’It’s not over yet!’ Qin Feng’s eyes swept over the gray-robed youth’s airborne figure. He stomped his foot violently and roared.

"Reverse Flow Splash!"

RUMBLE!

The ocean trembled. With a series of earth-shattering roars, hundreds of massive jets of water erupted from the sea’s surface, shooting toward the sky.

The scene was unforgettable. Qin Feng couldn’t help but revel in this level of control over the water, even though it wasn’t his own power but one borrowed from the array.

Under the influence of such large-scale water manipulation, his Innate Divine Power of Ocean Manipulation began to improve by leaps and bounds.

As hundreds of massive jets of water erupted from below, Qian Kai was so terrified his Soul was about to Scatter. If he was hit by this, he would be blasted into smithereens.

Fighting through the searing pain of his broken ribs, Qian Kai cried out in panic, "I can’t do it, Venerable! I really can’t beat him! Let’s get out of here!"
