Chapter 316: Chapter 309: The Great Dao is Simple, Slaughtering the Innate Realm as if Slaughtering Dogs_1

A man without credibility cannot stand, a man without power is not a true man.

If one wants to establish oneself in Jade Stream Town, and cannot withstand the He Family’s intimidation, then all is but empty talk.

Qin Niu only wanted to live quietly in Shuangfeng Village as a big landlord, with thousands of acres of good land and countless hillsides. However, in the process of becoming stronger, there are always some obstacles that arise.

The Yan Family was smart, establishing a friendly relationship with Qin Niu early on, and chose to let nature take its course with Qin Niu’s growing strength.

The He Family had not originally intended to stop Qin Niu from getting stronger.

It’s just that the value of those dozen acres of black soil was significant, and the He Family was used to being arrogant locally.

When negotiating with Qin Niu, a direct conflict broke out.

What followed was essentially unstoppable.

Because a servant of the He Family was killed, which in the eyes of the He Family, was like being caught on the back of a tiger with no way down.

They had to either continue to clash hard with Qin Niu to determine the victor, thereby preserving the He Family’s dignity built up over hundreds of years, or bow their heads in submission.

But that could easily make them the laughing stock of others.

It would also weaken the prestige of the He Family.

And, those dozen acres of black soil would have to be given up.

After weighing the options, the He Family made a fatal misjudgment, rallying the family’s Protectors and bringing a Grade Three powerhouse to regain their face.

Only things did not develop in the direction the He Family had hoped for.

Qin Niu was as stubborn as they come, and He Fourth Master not only ordered his men to capture Wang Wanyan, but also publicly declared that if Qin Niu dared not submit, he would subdue Wang Wanyan himself.

Such a thing is unbearable for any man with a bit of blood in his veins.

Qin Niu had already turned into a remnant shadow, with the first target being the middle-aged man who had captured Wang Wanyan.

No fancy moves, just a simple chop.

His signature martial skill, Critical Chop.

Swoosh!

The blade light was as fast as lightning, and Blade Qi burst forth from the blade’s edge.

The middle-aged man frantically swung his blade to defend.

Alas, his blade was no match for the Critical Chop of the Ink Blade and was directly chopped in two.

The terrifying Blade Qi’s momentum unchecked, it then slashed into the middle-aged man’s body. The Hundred-Tempering Black Armor worth five hundred taels of silver on his body was as weak as paper mache.

The man was diagonally cleaved in two.

Having killed this man, Qin Niu’s rage was not appeased, and he directly targeted He Fourth Master.

“Blade, Blade Qi! How could this Qin Niu be so strong?”

He Fourth Master hadn’t taken Qin Niu seriously at first, and was still leisurely sipping tea.

He had already thought that if the team captain of Protectors could not win, he would have the family’s Grade Three powerhouse take action.

The turn of events went beyond his imagination, the team captain was not merely defeated but instantly killed.

The abilities of the two sides weren’t even on the same level.

“Xiao Qing, you go rescue Miss Wang. Leave He Fourth Master and his Innate Realm follower to me.”

Qin Niu was very clever; he didn’t directly attack the old man but instead went straight for He Fourth Master.

This forced the old man to act to protect He Fourth Master, leaving him no chance to stop Xiao Qing from rescuing the hostage.

He Fourth Master also had no opportunity to order the Protectors to take Wang Wanyan as a hostage.

That was the desired effect.

“Uncle Qiong, save me!”

He Fourth Master, seeing Qin Niu, this harbinger of death approaching with his blood-stained Ink Blade, was scared out of his wits.

The teacup fell to the ground and shattered to pieces.

“Not even the King of Heaven can save you now.”

Qin Niu’s killing intent was surging.

He had initially thought of giving the He Family a way out, but the He Family actually dared to make a move on his fiancée’s family.

If it weren’t for Tang Caixian’s connection with Tang Yan, the He Family would probably have captured both of Qin Niu’s fiancées.

You should never be merciful when dealing with enemies.

Qin Niu had not wanted to clash head-on with the He Family, but they were relentlessly pushing him, so he would go all the way.

To kill until there was no one left in the He Family.

“You brat, don’t be insolent.”

The elder named Uncle Qiong wielded a pair of maces.

This was a weapon of the exotic variety.

He knew of the Ink Blade’s might but did not fear it.

He was just a Grade Three powerhouse lurking in the countryside, likely cultivated by the He Family itself.

It was almost impossible to see some of the powerful high-end weapons in ordinary times.

He didn’t even know that the Ink Blade was much more powerful than the average divine weapon.

Wielding the double maces, he launched an attack on Qin Niu, with the heavy shadows of the maces sealing off Qin Niu’s vital points and retreat.

Having lived to such an age and with the full support of the He Family, obtaining higher-grade martial skills wasn’t too difficult. At least he had a chance.

The man’s mace technique was very clever and had reached a considerable level of proficiency.

Qin Niu still used the simplest move, the Critical Chop.

Bang!

One move to break all techniques, Blade Qi swept across, directly cutting through the heavy mace shadows.

This move of Critical Chop strikingly produced both the Critical Chop and Rupture double effects.

The old man’s double maces were like tofu dregs, snapping into countless pieces. In tandem, the old man’s body also split into two halves without any warning.

The Rupture effect was too strong.

The only regret was that Rupture had only a 10% chance of activation.

If only this percentage were a little bit higher.

“So what if you are in the Innate Realm? Killing you is like slaughtering a dog,” Qin Niu said.

His gaze turned to Fourth Master He.

He had originally thought about using Termite and Green Ox, but now it seemed, completely unnecessary.

The Ink Blade paired with the Slash Martial Skill was truly wonderful.

It was simply beyond words.

Through numerous actual combats, Qin Niu realized that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. Perhaps he didn’t even need to learn those complex sword or blade techniques and moves.

As long as he mastered the Critical Chop and Sweeping Strike, these two most basic martial skills, they were stronger than anything else.

To kill a man, just one move was sufficient.

“You, don’t come any closer! Save me, someone stop this madman,” Fourth Master He screamed.

He was so scared he wet himself.

The lower part of his body was visibly soaked at a speed detectable by the naked eye.

Perhaps frightened to the point where his legs weakened, he stumbled and fell to the ground, looking up at Qin Niu approaching rapidly with terror.

“Whoever saves me, a reward of a hundred taels of silver and a promotion of one rank in the He Family,” he said, his mind still sharp.

Facing the threat of death, he offered a hefty reward.

Because he believed that under a generous reward, there must be brave men.

Indeed, this was the case. Hearing the promise of a hundred taels of silver, the guards rushed towards Qin Niu with knives, risking their lives.

“Hmph, I told you, not even the King of Heaven can save you,” Qin Niu declared.

He released thousands upon thousands of white ants, all Toxic Ants.

The weakest among them were Grade Three, moving swiftly, quickly crawling towards those guards.

Qin Niu himself flashed forward, arriving directly in front of Fourth Master He.

“You didn’t cherish the chance to live, so I’ll send you to hell,” he said.

With that, the Ink Blade swung directly towards Fourth Master He.

“If you kill me, the He Family will never let you live in peace… Ah—!” Fourth Master He screamed.

After a scream, the voice abruptly stopped.

Qin Niu’s blade had decapitated Fourth Master He.

The white ants had already begun to climb onto the bodies of the Yan Family’s Protectors.

Screams filled the air.

After being bitten, one Protector after another screamed in agony, falling to the ground, their bodies convulsing.

Seeing Fourth Master He killed and their comrades falling one by one, the other Protectors no longer dared to be aggressive and scattered in all directions, fleeing for their lives.

Xiao Qing also eliminated several Protectors who tried to stop her from rescuing others.

She just hadn’t expected Qin Niu to fight so quickly. Before she could make it to the carriage, Qin Niu had already taken care of Fourth Master He, directly reaching the carriage.

Lifting the curtain, Wang Wanyan was bound up tightly.

“Wan Yan, I’m sorry you suffered,” Qin Niu apologized as he cut the ropes with his blade and freed his fiancee, removing the cloth that had been stuffed into her mouth.

“Wu wu… I thought I’d never see you again,” she sobbed.

Even the strongest girl has her moments of weakness.

Holding the tender beauty in his arms, Qin Niu felt somewhat at a loss for a while.
