Chapter 672 - The Faker Yuan Tianren
Chapter 672 The Faker Yuan Tianren
Qi Waner was also surprised. She whispered, “When did Sister Nalan and the others become so powerful?”
“Just a few days ago,” Qin Haodong whispered in her ear, “Don’t worry. I’ll make you as strong as them tonight.”
Qi Waner naturally knew what he meant. She flushed and her cheeks were as red as ripe apples when she heard what Qin whispered in her ear.
But not so many people noticed them at this moment. Everyone was focusing on the battle in the field. The battle between two grand masters at ninth-level was definitely a rare and great event.
Fortunately, the Thousand People Hall of the Qi family was big enough and they did not feel crowded even though there were eight people fighting with each other.
Generally speaking, if there were no big difference between the powers of two ninth-level grand masters, they would not be able to determine the winner in a short period of time.
Among these people, Feng Wu was the only one who had an absolute advantage, but it would also take some time for her to win.
Qin Haodong frowned and it was obvious that he did not want to wait any longer.
He reached out and the Xuan Yuan Sword appeared in his palm. Glowing with a golden light, the sword, which was as fast as a dragon, circled around them.
“This is the Sword-riding Technique!”
The leaders of the Seven Great Families were astonished when they saw him using this technique. It was obvious that this young man was also a grand master at the ninth-level.
Zhao Cangqiong and Qi Guofan were nearly desperate. If Qin Haodong got involved, they had no way to fight against him because there were no more ninth-level grand masters in both their families.
If they sent someone else, he would definitely be defeated even if he was an eighth-level grand master.
The four ninth-level grand masters were extremely astonished. The Xuan Yuan Sword exerted great pressure on them, as if it could take their lives at any time.
However, their opponents were hard to deal with and they had no time to handle the Xuan Yuan Sword
After the sword light disappeared, they found that they were not injured. They took a long breath and it was then they realized that their belts had been loosened and then their pants dropped.
It turned out that Qin Haodong did not want to hurt them with his sword at all. Instead, he cut off all the belts of the four people and their pants slipped to the ground.
Fortunately, these four people were all wearing long robes. They still had their underpants on, otherwise, they would really be embarrassed.
Zhao Cangsheng and the others did not care about the fight any longer. They pulled up their pants and panicked. If Qin Haodong had really wanted to take their lives, the Xuan Yuan Sword could have easily broken through their lower abdomens and pierced through their dantian.
At this point, it was very clear that they were the losers. They would have already been dead now, if it had not been for Qin’s mercy.
The ninth-level grand masters valued their reputation and dignity. They were ashamed to stand there and all of them gave up and left.
Qin Haodong took back his Xuan Yuan Sword and everyone present were impressed by his move. He defeated four ninth-level grand masters in one strike and all the Seven Great Families were astonished too.
Qi Guofan and Zhao Cangqiong looked gloomy, but they had already lost the battle and did not have any fighting spirit left.
Qin Haodong came here today to establish his prestige and accomplished his purpose. Seeing their performance, Qin Haodong was satisfied, then he took Qin Waner’s hands and strode onto the stage.
This was the place where Zhao Hongkun and Qi Waner were supposed to get engaged just now, but now, he was the one who was standing with Qi Waner.
“Please don’t worry. I mean no harm to you,” Qin Haodong said, “I came here today to take Wan’er back and I have no other purpose. She’s my girlfriend and no one can take advantage of her!”
Then he looked around and all the young men of the Seven Great Families dared not look him straight in the eye.
Zhao Cangqiong and Qi Guofan felt the same way. They lowered their heads slightly. Qin Haodong had shown mercy to them just now and if they continued to challenge this young man, they might even be killed and then the Qi and Zhao families would disappear from the capital.
Survival, of course, was more important than their honor. Strength dominated everything else and they sent four masters in succession, because they believed that they could defeat Qin Haodong.
Now that the situation had been reversed, the Qis did not say a word and the Zhao family did not dare to take any action. The entire hall fell silent.
At this moment, someone suddenly said, “Young friend, could I say something?”
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person standing up was Yuan Tianren, who looked detached and appeared sage-like.
Yuan Tianren was not a martial arts practitioner and he did not take them seriously. No matter how powerful they were, they had to show him respect and address him as Master Yuan.
Everyone present was silent now and Yuan thought that if he seized this opportunity and persuaded this young man to give up, he would definitely become the focal point and no one could threaten to replace him in the capital.
Moreover, even if he failed, he would not suffer any loss with his reputation. No matter how domineering the young man was, he would not dare to challenge him. He was a master of magic skills, after all. But “Master Yuan” did not realize that he was on Qin Haodong’s Must-Kill List.
He waved his horsetail whisk and walked slowly to Qin Haodong. He said with an air of superiority, “Kid, you look great and you definitely are a promising young man. But based on your facial features, I don’t think you’re suitable for Miss Qi.
“Miss Qi will bring blessings to her husband, which is a rare trait over the past thousands of years. But you will not be a perfect match together. She’ll bring you unexpected disasters. Listen to my advice and let it go!”
Zhao Qingtian and Qi Guofan’s eyes lit up after they heard what Master Yuan had said. Sometimes, using force might not work, but they may help solve the issues by using some other means. Maybe Master Yuan could convince the young man.
Yuan Tianren shook his horsetail whisk and said in a sincere tone:” My friend, please don’t be persistent. Listen to my advice if you’re wise enough.”
Although he had already guessed the identity of the old man standing in front of him, Qin Haodong wanted to be sure and he asked, “Who are you?”
“I’m Yuan Tianren and I’ve been practicing magic skills since I was young. I know what happened over the past 500 years and what will happen in the future 500 years. There’s nothing that I don’t know!”
Old Yuan looked complacent and he hoped that this young man standing in front of him would kneel and worship him.
Hearing that he was really his great enemy, Qin Haodong kept his smile, but looked coldly at this old man.
“You’re Master Yuan, aren’t you? You’re the one who said that Wan’er will bring great fortune to her husband?”
“That’s right. Except for me, no one else has this magic power.”
Yuan Tianren acknowledged it without a second thought.
“So it was also you who said that the ancestral tomb of the Chu family was the land of fairies, about 20 years ago?”
Yuan Tianren looked at him in surprise and then said, “You’re really amazing. How do you know about the Land of Fairies? Yes, this is also what I had discerned then.”
“The so-called Land of Fairies can protect the children’s wealth for generations. But they have to be careful if the married daughters gave birth to boys. Otherwise, the fortune will be transferred to the boys and their husbands. That will be disastrous…”
The more he said, the more excited he became. He showed off his knowledge of metaphysics once again, but he did not notice that the young man beside him could not control his desire to kill him right now.
Chu Shanhe, who had been sitting at ease, suddenly realized something when he heard Qin Haodong talking about his family’s ancestral grave. He looked at Qin Haodong with a complicated expression.
Qin looked at him strangely and asked, “Master, are you really good at magic arts?”
“Of course, I’ve never failed for the past years in the capital.” At this moment, Yuan Tianren still maintained the demeanor of an expert and he did not take this young man seriously. He said to Qi Waner in a sincere tone,
“Girl, I’ve told you that not every boy is suitable for you, even though you can bring great fortune to your husband.”
“Zhao Hongkun is your destined husband, even though his fate is distant from yours. If you two become a couple, you can help each other and make great achievements…”
Qin Haodong looked at him coldly and said, “Master Yuan, since you have such an ability, can you tell my fortune in public and let me see your great skill?”
“Of course!” Yuan Tianren said, “Tell me, what do you want? Money? Marriage, or success in your career?”
“None of these,” Qin Haodong said, “I just want Master Yuan to tell me if your own fortune is good or bad today.”
“Well…”
Yuan Tianren felt the killing intent in Qin Haodong’s eyes at this moment. He panicked and his expression also froze.
“Young friend, your evil spirit is too strong. Listen to my advice…”
Qin Haodong looked at him coldly and said, “What? Old faker, can’t you figure it out now?”
Yuan Tianren immediately flew into a rage when he heard Qin calling him an old faker. He had always been respected in the capital, so how could he be a fake?
“Young man, what are you talking about? I’m…”
But before he could finish speaking, Qin Haodong suddenly boxed his ear soundly.
Qin Haodong was furious and used all his strength. Half of Yuan Tianren’s face was almost destroyed. His teeth were smashed and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Everyone present were astonished. Yuan Tianren was a well-known master in the capital and he was proficient in the profound arts of Feng Shui and was normally treated like a god anywhere. No one would have dared to beat him up.
Qin Haodong stepped to the front of Yuan Tianren with a sneer and said coldly, “I’ll give you another chance. Do you think I’ll break your left leg or right leg this time?”
Yuan Tianren was terrified at this moment. But he did not understand why this young man had such a strong killing intent toward him.
He quickly wiped the blood from his mouth and ignored the pain on his face. Then he said in a trembling voice, “I’m just giving you some advice out of kindness. It’s fine if you don’t want to listen to me, but why do you have to beat me up…”
“It seems that you can’t even predict your own fortune. Then I’ll give you the answer.”
After saying that, Qin Haodong stepped hard on his left leg. To the sounds of bones cracking, Yuan Tianren howled like a pig being slaughtered, as his entire calf was crushed into pieces.
