"Gong Chengyuan! Come out and face your death!"

Qin Heng's voice roared like thunder, shaking the heavens and earth. In an instant, it was as if billions of thunderbolts exploded simultaneously, conjuring invisible airwaves that spread out in all directions!

「Meanwhile.」

In the villa estate halfway up Pine Mountain, a middle-aged man wearing a water-blue robe had a dark expression, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. His gaze pierced through the void and settled on Qin Heng and the Red Flame Maiden at the foot of the mountain.

"Red Flame Maiden, I have had neither old grievances nor recent enmities with you! Why do you provoke me in this manner?"

Gong Chengyuan stood up, his aura turbulent. The power of his Spiritual Treasure within him converged, sending out waves of blue ripples. His momentum soared into the sky, stirring the mountain mists and shattering them!

"Since that's the case, then I shall let you taste the power of my Light-Splitting Water Sword!"

「Below Pine Mountain, the winds and clouds surged fiercely.」

The Gus siblings simply could not withstand such a force and were blown back more than ten meters, staring at Qin Heng with consternation and disbelief.

As for the security guards stationed at the mountain's entrance, they were hit even harder. They were sent flying backward, crashing into walls twenty or thirty meters away. Their bones rattled chaotically as they collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

Only the Red Flame Maiden standing beside Qin Heng remained steady, seemingly unaffected. Gu Xin looked at Qin Heng in astonishment. She felt that Qin Heng now exerted even greater pressure than he had by the Huangpu River. This is what a true Martial Dao powerhouse is—a true Martial Dao powerhouse!!

Gu Yan had not really witnessed Qin Heng's prowess. Now, seeing him conjure an airwave with a mere sentence, like a bomb exploding and kicking up a storm, his eyes filled with admiration. "Mr. Qin, you truly are a divine being!" he exclaimed sincerely.

At that moment, several security guards who had been knocked to the ground glared at Qin Heng, their eyes filled with resentment. They shouted, "How dare you! How dare you act so recklessly at the base of Pine Mountain!

"No matter who you are or what strength you possess, once you come to Pine Mountain, you must behave! Otherwise, you will face consequences beyond your imagination!

"Master Gong's power is beyond what you, a mere mortal, could ever comprehend! You are seeking death!"

The security guards were utterly enraged. Qin Heng's actions were a blatant provocation, showing no regard for the entire mountain. For these security guards, it was an unforgivable humiliation!

"Just wait! Master Gong will not let you get away with such provocation!"

CLANG!!

At that instant, the clang of a sword descended from the mountain. It was like a mighty river falling from the heavens, bringing with it an infinite torrent of water crashing down! The target was Qin Heng!

"That's Master Gong's sword light! I have previously seen Master Gong practice his swordplay; it's exactly this river-like Heavenly Sword!" Gu Xin cried out in alarm, her eyes filled with worry as she looked at Qin Heng. After all, in Gu Xin's mind, Qin Heng was still nothing more than a Grandmaster at the peak of the Transcendence Realm, while Master Gong Chengyuan was a presence even stronger than an Innate Grandmaster! Such a formidable opponent's sword light, soaring through the sky, was incredibly powerful!

Gu Yan was even more astonished. He stood dumbstruck, gazing up at the sky with wide eyes, muttering, "This is simply... simply miraculous. Can humans really possess such incredible power?"

He was just an Open Force Martial Artist. For him, Hidden Force was already immensely powerful, and a Grandmaster of Transcendence was a legend. And yet, even for the Transcendence Realm, it was impossible to release a sword light that seemed like a river falling from the sky like this; this surpassed his understanding and imagination of the Martial Dao.

WHOOSH!! The roaring sound of water thundered from the sky. It was as if the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers were surging down from above, solidifying into an indestructible blade aimed to extinguish and destroy everything!

"How dare you challenge me, you audacious scoundrel! Are you tired of living?"

Gong Chengyuan's voice came from the sky. Then, atop the sword light, a graceful and handsome man appeared. He wielded a longsword, standing in the vault of heaven, lofty and supreme, looking down on all living beings!

The security guards who had been sent flying by Qin Heng suddenly burst into joy. Looking up at the sky, they cheered, "Master Gong! Master Gong, uphold justice for us!"

In their eyes, Gong Chengyuan was an Immortal from the heavens. A mere mortal like Qin Heng daring to challenge an Immortal was simply seeking death!

"Kid! You're doomed now that Master Gong is here! Your death is certain!"

"Why so silent all of a sudden? Scared speechless, haha! Trash!"

A few security guards began to mock Qin Heng, venting their fury.

"Ants. Too noisy!" Qin Heng sneered coldly, waving his sleeve and shattering the air from afar. With a loud boom, it sounded like an Air Cannon had been fired!

Instantly, the ground around them trembled. Those four security guards were obliterated into a blood mist by Qin Heng's sweeping sleeve, ceasing to exist.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!

At the same time, the sword light unleashed by Gong Chengyuan arrived. It seemed Qin Heng would be devoured; compared to the sword light, he appeared as insignificant as a leaf in a river.

"Red Flame Maiden, aren't you going to take action? If you don't do it now, this boy by your side will be buried under my sword light!!" Gong Chengyuan huffed coldly. I've never really seen this Qin Heng as a threat. As a Soldier Master who has lived for over a hundred years, I'm well aware of the caliber of martial artists in this world. Apart from a Martial Saint, I am invincible! And this youngster in front of me is definitely not a Martial Saint!

"Gong Chengyuan, are these your last words?" Red Flame Maiden shook her head gently and said, "The power of an Immortal Venerable is beyond your imagination."

She knew Qin Heng's methods. That terrifying ability to seize Divine Weapons and Magic Items!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!! The sword light gleamed brightly, its overwhelming radiance instantly engulfing Qin Heng, leaving no trace.

"Hahaha! See that? A mortal like this, defeated in one strike! Red Flame Maiden, you, a distinguished Soldier Master, have actually stooped to follow a mere mortal martial artist. It's truly beneath you!" Gong Chengyuan sneered. "What rubbish Immortal Venerable? Just an ant-like mortal! I cut him down with a single stroke of my sword. So weak, so laughable."

"Is that so?" Red Flame Maiden's expression remained composed as she looked at Gong Chengyuan floating in mid-air. She said indifferently, "I've told you, you simply can't understand the strength of an Immortal Venerable!"

As soon as her voice fell, CRACK!! A sound of something tearing through the void rang out. Qin Heng's hand, unharmed, stretched out from within the sword light. His fingers shone with golden light, impervious to all laws!

"How can this be!?" Gong Chengyuan's heart tightened. His face displayed disbelief as he looked at the golden light on those fingers, an inexplicable panic welling up in his heart. It felt as if a great disaster was about to befall him!

"This Spiritual Treasure in your hand is quite nice. I'll take it!" Qin Heng's calm voice transmitted. Simultaneously, as his Mana flowed, it condensed into a giant hand over three meters wide! It appeared beside Gong Chengyuan and grabbed him tightly!
