It was astonishing! It was terrifying!

Bai Tongtang stared at Qin Heng in utter shock, his heart filled with fear. As a Half-step Grandmaster, his perception was extremely keen. He could clearly sense the terrifying power contained in the strand of hair Qin Heng held!

That fierce burst of Sword Qi! And that sword intent, as if ready to annihilate everything—it's truly dreadful!

This terrifying momentum nearly stopped the air from flowing. The entire shop became oppressively silent. Everyone's will was subdued by the sword intent Qin Heng released with just a gentle flick!

Bai Tongtang instinctively stepped back two meters, trembling all over in fright, so full of regret his guts could have turned green.

Wielding a strand of hair as a sword! Sword Qi that rocks the heavens! This… this! Even a true Grandmaster of Transcendence might not be able to do this! Such terrifying power! It's horrifying! It's over!

His complexion turned deathly pale in an instant, consumed by regret.

At this moment, Qin Heng suddenly spoke, his gaze directed outside the shop door. "Friends outside, no need to hide. Come out," he said indifferently. "If you do not, don't blame my sword for being merciless."

Infusing Mana into a strand of hair to turn it into a sword wasn't meant for Bai Tongtang. A mere Half-step Grandmaster could be crushed by Qin Heng with a single fingertip; there was no need for such trouble. He was doing it for the people hiding outside.

As soon as Qin Heng spoke, everyone in the shop immediately turned their attention to the entrance. They were stunned, their expressions becoming incredibly shocked!

From around the corner of the old street ahead, five people emerged. Each one was fully armed with high-tech weaponry—guns, grenades, military knives, and various other armaments. They had everything, truly armed to the teeth! Moreover, each person exuded a strong, bloody, murderous intent.

Even ordinary people could feel it very clearly.

Danger! Extreme danger! These people must be hardened killers, their hands stained with the blood of countless victims!

Everyone in the shop turned pale with fright.

Even Bai Tongtang, a Half-step Grandmaster, looked greatly perturbed. His perception was much clearer than that of ordinary people; he knew the aura of these five individuals was extremely terrifying. Critically, they were equipped with firearms—the kind with immense destructive power. It wouldn't matter if you were a Half-step Grandmaster or even a true Grandmaster; getting hit would likely result in serious injury.

But what are these people here for? Why did they suddenly appear?

CLICK! CLICK!

Suddenly, the sound of guns being loaded came from outside. The five men all raised their handguns, aiming into the shop. Simultaneously, an intense murderous intent erupted, locking onto Qin Heng.

Among these five, the leader was a very tall, scarred man with a fearsome appearance. He glanced at the people in the shop, a cold smile on his face, then flicked his middle finger at them and said, "Who is Qin Heng? Crawl out and kneel before your grandpa! Otherwise…"

TING!

At that moment, a sudden Sword Qi cry pierced the void! A slender glow, as fine as a hair, flickered over the tall man's hand and vanished, interrupting his words on the spot.

"AHH!!"

He screamed in agony, a heart-wrenching sound as if his lungs were tearing apart. The man, so arrogant moments before, now clutched his mutilated hand—the Sword Qi had sliced off his middle finger!

Qin Heng gently shook the blood droplets from the strand of hair, gazed at the men outside, and chuckled. "People court death, and so they die. Why is it that some never understand?"

"You're seeking death! Who do you think you are?!" the man outside roared. He raised his pistol, aimed it at Qin Heng, and, with rage clouding his mind, pulled the trigger without a second thought.

BANG!!

Muzzle flashed, and the bullet burst forth! Target: Qin Heng!

However, the man ultimately retained a sliver of reason. He didn't aim to kill Qin Heng; his target was Qin Heng's leg.

Anyone familiar with shooting knows that if you want to disable a person as quickly as possible, you aim for the legs. It's undoubtedly the most efficient method. Clearly, this man thought the same. After all, Guo Yunjiang had previously ordered them to capture the person who attacked Guo Yuntian and bring him back alive.

The onlookers were also stunned, watching the men at the door in disbelief, all scared out of their wits.

Guns! Real guns! Lethal weapons! In the minds of ordinary people, firing a gun means intending to kill! The power of firearms is terrifying! He's done for! This kid is truly done for!

Nobody believed Qin Heng could survive a pistol shot; to ordinary people, it seemed impossible.

Even Bai Tongtang, the Half-step Grandmaster, had his expression change drastically, his body tensing. He could clearly feel the threat emanating from the pistol and the bullet. If he were hit by that shot, he would undoubtedly die, with no chance of retaliation whatsoever. Regardless of his internal Hidden Force or his body, tempered countless times, they were inadequate against gunfire—like thin paper, easily torn apart.

CLANG!!

Just then, a sword cry suddenly rang out. Qin Heng lightly flicked the strand of hair as if wielding a supreme divine sword, releasing streaks of sword light! At Qin Heng's Realm, even flowers, grass, and trees could become weapons, let alone a strand of hair. If he were to use this sword strike with full force now, he could slice through an airplane!

But he was only using it to counter a bullet—a clear case of overqualification.

Thus, after Qin Heng released the sword light, he allowed it to scatter, shooting out in all directions.

Streaks of golden Sword Qi burst forth! Brilliant and dazzling, like countless beams of light blooming from Qin Heng's hand, they shattered the bullet into metal dust with lightning speed.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!

The sword cries continued. After atomizing the bullet, the golden sword light didn't dissipate but flew outward, instantly shredding the weapons and gear in the hands and on the bodies of the five men. At the same time, its endless sharpness swept across their knees, shattering their kneecaps. This made it impossible for them to stand, and they all collapsed.

"AHHHH! IT HURTS!!"

"AHHHH! IT'S SO PAINFUL!!"

They all screamed, writhing on the ground in agony. With their kneecaps completely shattered, the pain was excruciating, unbearable even for the Guos' dedicated fighters.

The surrounding crowd was dumbstruck—the ruffians, the customers, the owner Mr. Liu, and Bai Tongtang—all frozen in shock. They stared at Qin Heng in disbelief.

Just now… what happened?! Wielding a strand of hair, releasing sword light, and even sending it out to attack?! This… this… this is surely an Immortal Technique!

THUMP!

Bai Tongtang immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed to Qin Heng. "Senior! Senior! Bai Tongtang was blind and failed to recognize Mount Tai! Please spare my life!!"
