Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

"Qin Feng, come out and meet your death!"

A fierce shout pierced through the heavens and earth, shaking many houses in Kun City till they trembled, with dust cascading from the rafters.

Not to mention the Qin Family, even common folk throughout Kun City emerged from their homes, looking toward the direction of the voice.

In the distant sky, several figures controlling the light of their Flying Swords rose from the Huang Family Mansion, flying east towards the Qin Family residence with an overwhelming momentum, their Sword Qi tearing through the air!

At the forefront was none other than Jiang Yinghong, an Outer Elder of Taiyi Mountain!

This woman, true to her roots as a Sword Cultivator, not only possessed astonishingly fierce Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Energy but also a temper as combustible as her Sword Qi.

She had just arrived at the Huang Family and saw that Fang Xinghai, a member of her main family, had his Cultivation crippled and his Dantian meridians destroyed. Her anger soared instantly, not even waiting for Jiang Xinghai to plea before clarifying the direction of the Qin residence and leaping into the air.

The others, although helplessly, had no choice but to follow her lead and took to the sky.

In the Qin Mansion, not only did Qin Feng, who was meditating cross-legged, sense the commotion, but the Old Family Master and Qin Long, who were both cultivating in seclusion, were also disturbed by this grand display, waking them from their practices. They couldn't care to continue cultivating and rose from their cultivation rooms.

Other members of the Qin Clan were also startled awake, and those who were scattered across different areas dropped their tasks at hand, returning to the family from places like the Spiritual Field Fruit Garden.

However, even though they were closer to the family, their travel speed paled in comparison to those Sword Cultivators who flew on their swords, let alone the furious and vengeful Jiang Yinghong.

This woman cultivated the "Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Technique," and due to being trapped by love in her early years, her previously soaring Cultivation suffered a setback. For many years, she had been stuck at the Golden Core Peak, not only unable to break through to the next Realm but instead letting her Daoist Heart become influenced by the Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Energy, growing increasingly irascible.

She already held a grudge against Qin Feng for the murder of her only niece, but seeing her nephew Jiang Xinghai, whom she had sent to deal with the Qin Family, crippled by Qin Feng only fueled her rage. Her Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Energy surged, reaching a climax, as if she couldn't wait to locate Qin Feng and cleave him in two with her sword.

This was the reason why, despite knowing her condition, Taiyi Mountain still allowed her to venture outside.

Jiang Yinghong's Elders were well aware of her troubled Cultivation, and there were three solutions to such a situation: one was for her to transcend the barrier of emotion, let go of her obsessions, and quickly return to the right path to cultivate the Purple Mansion Realm.

Alternatively, she could give up the "Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Technique," discard her current Cultivation, and choose a new Cultivation Technique to practice. With her talent and aptitude, there was still a chance for her to reach even higher Realms in the future.

The last was to let her accumulate the fire within her heart, and when it reached its peak, provide a catalyst to completely ignite her fiery heart, giving her a possibility to advance after the outburst.

Because Jiang Yinghong was deeply obsessive and also reluctant to abandon the Cultivation she had painstakingly gained over hundreds of years, she chose neither of the first two options, leaving only the third path open to her.

Initially, the Elders of Taiyi Mountain didn't know what to use as the catalyst to trigger Jiang Yinghong's years of pent-up fiery heart, until they received news of Jiang Dongliu's daughter's tragic death. Hence, they subtly guided her, and in no time, Jiang Yinghong became the prime candidate for avenging her niece.

This was also why Jiang Dongliu, despite grieving over his daughter's death, made no moves himself, and didn't even send his disciples to trouble Qin Feng. Instead, he allowed Jiang Yinghong to seek Qin Feng for retribution.

If Jiang Yinghong could kill Qin Feng, she would not only avenge her niece but also might have the opportunity to break through her constraints and achieve the Purple Mansion, thus serving two purposes. Therefore, Jiang Dongliu remained hidden behind the scenes, letting his sister cause chaos.

Qin Feng stepped out of the cultivation room, leaping onto the rooftop, looking ahead at Jiang Yinghong and the others fast approaching.

To his surprise, among those following Jiang Yinghong, aside from disciples like Huang Yulang and He Jiuzhang, he also spotted the figure of Zhuo Feifan.

Several years had passed, and not only had this young man become a True Disciple of Taiyi Mountain, but his Cultivation also reached the Golden Core with formidable Sword Qi that made him look quite extraordinary.

Seeing him, Qin Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.

Why would this fellow have the courage to join Jiang Yinghong in seeking trouble from him? Could he truly be planning to kill him to cover up their crime?

But it was already too late.

Even if he killed Qin Feng, hiding the truth was impossible. Even without Sister Li Miao Zhen, the Elder of Beast Taming Sect responsible for the matter was clearly aware of Zhuo Feifan's actions.

Unless his current status was extremely important, at least higher than Jiang Dongliu's, such that Taiyi Mountain wouldn't dare to touch him even if his actions were revealed, he wouldn't dare to kill Qin Feng.

Before Qin Feng could fully understand Zhuo Feifan's intentions, the fastest-flying Jiang Yinghong had already arrived not far from the Qin Mansion.

After all, traveling in a straight line from the Huang Family to the Qin Family was only a distance of a dozen miles or so, which for a Golden Core Peak Sword Cultivator like Jiang Yinghong, was a mere moment's journey.

"Scoundrel, meet your death!"

While still hundreds of yards away, Jiang Yinghong, upon seeing Qin Feng, could no longer contain the rage within her. She raised her hand and slashed with her sword, attempting to directly slay Qin Feng and avenge her beloved niece!

"How dare you!"

Qin Feng, seeing that she disregarded the lives of the ordinary clan members of the Qin Mansion and directly slashed down such a ferocious Sword Qi, was immediately enraged. With a thunderous shout, he pushed off against the roof with his foot, his figure soaring high into the air. In a flash, the Sky Battle Halberd appeared in his hand. With a move of "Azure Dragon Emerges from the Sea," he managed to block Jiang Yinghong's sword attack.

However, Jiang Yinghong's full-powered strike in her fury was not so easily blocked. Although he took on over ninety percent of its power, some residual Sword Qi still overflowed from where their attacks met, destroying many houses in the Qin Family Mansion. Tiles flew chaotically, injuring quite a few people.

That wasn't too bad; for ordinary servants hit, it was merely some superficial wounds. The most serious were a few clan members who were hurt by the scattered Sword Qi.

Jiang Yinghong's cultivation was no small matter. Even the fragmented Sword Qi remaining after her clash with Qin Feng was not something ordinary clan members could resist. They were pierced through by the Sword Qi. Fortunately, the vital parts were mostly unharmed. Otherwise, it might have been an instant fatality.

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng became even more infuriated, "Impudent Jiang Yinghong! How dare you be so reckless, injuring my clan members. Today, I will kill you so that you learn the consequences of acting so wildly!"

"Hmph, as if you're worthy!"

Jiang Yinghong, influenced by her anger, hardly cared about those small Qi Refining Realm cultivators' lives. Even if she obliterated the entire Qin Family, it was but their own misfortune to be in the area where she was fighting with Qin Feng.

"Just a rookie who's recently advanced to Golden Core dares to be so arrogant in front of me."

Jiang Yinghong's originally delicate face was now somewhat twisted due to her rage. "Junior, I will use your life to mourn my pitiable niece!"

As she spoke, her hands formed a Sword technique. Like a blooming lotus, she commanded her Lifebound Flying Sword to execute the Lotus Sword Energy, attacking Qin Feng.

Flames shaped like lotus flowers, each made up of pure Sword Qi, and each petal containing sharp Sword Intent. If these beautiful and delicate Lotus Sword Energy were to break through his defenses, even Qin Feng's formidable physique wouldn't be able to withstand them for long before being cut open.

But Qin Feng was no fool, naturally, he wouldn't let Jiang Yinghong attack without fighting back.

However, he was quite concerned for the clan members below, so he restrained his actions, not daring to fight with all his strength. He had to defend primarily, looking for ways to lead this woman to another place for a full-powered battle. Otherwise, if he allowed her to continue her rampage, not only would the Qin Mansion be destroyed, but many of the Qin Family's clan members would also suffer heavy casualties.

The cultivation of the ordinary Qi Refining Realm clan members was too weak. Moreover, most of them were Spirit Plant Cultivators, mainly cultivating Spirit Plants and cultivating Spirit Fruits. The majority of the clan members' only combat experience was from hunting the ordinary Demon Beasts on the periphery of Qifeng Mountain. How could they withstand the aftermath of a battle with a Golden Core Cultivator?

If they were those elite disciples from the Sect who had been honed in the battles of the Red Flame Demon Realm, they could form a War Formation to defend. If there were enough people, they might even manage to slay a Golden Core Cultivator. But apart from being cultivators, the Qin Clan members were nearly no different from ordinary farmers, thus they certainly couldn't compare to those battle-hardened elite Sect disciples.

"Quick, everyone get into the ancestral hall!"

At the old Family Master's call, the clan members gathered together and entered the family ancestral hall.

There was a defensive formation set up by the old ancestors of the Qin Family, to avoid being affected by the aftermath.

But without the protection of the formation, nearly half of the Qin Mansion was destroyed in no time. This not only caused the clan members to worry endlessly but also made the Old Clan Chief feel heartache.

After all, it was the ancestral home that he had guarded for over a hundred years - he couldn't bear to see it destroyed like this.

In mid-air, Qin Feng saw that even the courtyard where he and his father lived was affected by the aftermath, and he was furious: "Jiang Yinghong, you're looking for death!"

With a wave of his hand, he released the Swallowing Sky Toad and the Fire Ape, having the two mighty Spiritual Beasts join the fight.

Boom!

As soon as the Fire Ape appeared, it erupted into dozens of feet of scarlet flames, which it then condensed into a mass and hurled at Jiang Yinghong.

Simultaneously, the Swallowing Sky Toad positioned itself in front of Qin Feng, distorting space and causing Jiang Yinghong's Sword Qi to slash into empty space, ineffective. Then, behind it, countless Star Lights surged up, transforming into a shower of stars that also attacked Jiang Yinghong.

With the assault from Qin Feng's Sky Battle Halberd turned Azure Dragon and the combined efforts of three parties, they finally forced Jiang Yinghong to retreat from the skies above the Qin Family Mansion.

Qin Feng then led the two Spiritual Beasts in an attack on Jiang Yinghong.

He was after all a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, and there was no need for him to face the enemy alone unless there was a sure chance of victory.

The trio occupied three positions, and even though Jiang Yinghong was extraordinary in strength, having been at the Golden Core Peak for many years, she was initially forced into defensive retreat by their attack.

However, she eventually stabilized her footing with profound Dao Cultivation. A blossoming Sword Qi enveloped her like a lotus, blocking Qin Feng and his beasts' assaults and starting her counterattack.

Gradually, she also noticed that among Qin Feng's two Spiritual Beasts, the Fire Ape was slightly weaker.

It wasn't that the Fire Ape lacked in cultivation; in fact, it exuded dense Demon Energy and its flames soared to the sky, with formidable combat strength.

However, although its Flame Divine Power was strong, it was not as troublesome as the Swallowing Sky Toad's Space Magic and was therefore relatively easier to deal with.

Despite her rage, Jiang Yinghong's many years of combat experience told her to start with the Fire Ape.

Otherwise, the other large toad was too slippery; its ability to distort space made it very difficult to harm.

As for Qin Feng, it would be difficult for him to reach Jiang Yinghong directly without first slaying her Spiritual Beast.

Therefore, Jiang Yinghong set her primary target on the Fire Ape.

Qin Feng watched coldly from the sidelines. Even though the Fire Ape was being targeted by Jiang Yinghong, with his and the Swallowing Sky Toad's side restraints, it wouldn't be easy to severely injure it.

Thus, he took advantage of when Jiang Yinghong was attacking the Fire Ape to focus on how to find her weakness.

However, after observing for a long while, he realized that the "Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Technique" she was using, true to its reputation as the most explosive sword technique of Taiyi Mountain, was aggressive as tides and invasive as fire. Paired with Jiang Yinghong's current temperament, it exposed no weaknesses but instead allowed her to wield the sword technique even more powerfully.

If there had to be a weakness identified, it would be that this woman was too hot-tempered, ignitable by a touch, and explosive upon contact.

Qin Feng watched for a long time, his Divine Sense subtly reaching out to sense the qi flows of dozens of miles around to check if there were any other Taiyi Mountain cultivators hiding nearby.

He was somewhat concerned that Jiang Dongliu might be lurking in the shadows. If that were the case, then he could not be careless.

After all, Jiang Dongliu is a sword cultivator of the Purple Mansion Realm. If he were to attack stealthily at a critical moment, Qin Feng might not be able to evade.

However, after probing around for a while, he found no disturbances; perhaps Taiyi Mountain believed that Jiang Yinghong's strength would not cause any errors. After all, he had only advanced to the Golden Core recently, and normally, he shouldn't stand a chance against her.

Seeing that the Fire Ape was struggling to fend off Jiang Yinghong's Sword Qi, he communicated telepathically to have the Fire Ape fight while retreating toward him.

Jiang Yinghong, unaware of the ploy, rejoiced inwardly upon seeing the Fire Ape retreat towards Qin Feng. When she pursued the Fire Ape to a mere hundred paces from Qin Feng, she repelled the ape with a sword strike, then with a flash of her figure, became one with her sword and turned into a soaring Sword Qi, slashing directly down towards Qin Feng's head.

"I've been waiting for you!"

After battling for so long, Qin Feng had gained a fair understanding of Jiang Yinghong's methods. Seeing her coming for him now, he held nothing back, shouting as his muscles bulged, a layer of nearly invisible scales appearing on his skin, a result of his merging with the Ruyi Golden Snake.

After merging with his Lifebound Spiritual Beast, his physical body's strength had grown even more formidable. Wielding the Sky Battle Halberd in hand, True Yuan poured into it, instantly condensing a phantom of a giant spear over a dozen meters long, which he hurled at the onslaught of Sword Qi.

Bang, bang, bang...

Almost in an instant, Qin Feng swung the halberd at Jiang Yinghong with a series of heavy blows, shattering her protective Sword Qi, leaving her with turbulent internal energy and unstable True Yuan, forcing her to hastily retreat.

"How could your progress be so rapid?"

Jiang Yinghong, now over a hundred paces away, became visible as she looked at Qin Feng with shock and uncertainty.

She hadn't expected that the small cultivator who had just advanced from the Qi Refining Realm to the Foundation Establishment in the Heavenly Pool Secret Realm a few years ago could now directly confront and repel her.

Qin Feng sneered, "After you die, you can ask your founding ancestors!"

With that, he took a step into the void, using the Shrinking Ground to Inch technique to close over a hundred paces of distance, appearing in front of Jiang Yinghong, and brought down his halberd squarely upon her head.

"Hmph, you're just relying on a bit of brute strength, do you really think I can't kill you?"

Jiang Yinghong snorted coldly, somewhat surprised by Qin Feng's cultivation speed, but she wasn't overly concerned. In her earlier days of fighting with Zhao Qiankun, she had witnessed the power of the "Azure Dragon Divine Technique." In her view, Qin Feng could not possibly be stronger than Zhao Qiankun back then.

Now that Qin Feng had taken the initiative to attack, it spared her the effort of seeking his whereabouts.

Immediately, she raised layer upon layer of Red Lotus Sword Qi around her to defend against Qin Feng's strike and then to counterattack.

But soon, she realized the difficult nature of Qin Feng.

Qin Feng's Taoist Body was so formidable that it far surpassed the likes of Zhao Qiankun from back then. If she tried to engage Qin Feng directly, she was likely to be destabilized by his incredible power.

Moreover, Qin Feng moved like lightning, fluidly advancing and retreating, using the Shrinking Ground to Inch technique as seamlessly as the flow of clouds and water, making it difficult for her to catch him.

However, being an experienced Golden Core Cultivator, Jiang Yinghong quickly adjusted her tactics, no longer clashing head-on with Qin Feng, but instead used continuous layers of Sword Qi to gradually weaken his power and attempted to trap him in her Red Lotus Sword Qi.

Unfortunately, Qin Feng's brute strength was remarkable; a single swing of his halberd could scatter the sword formation she had painstakingly laid out.

Under Qin Feng's aggressive onslaught, Jiang Yinghong felt immense pressure. If she could not break free from Qin Feng's entanglement and allowed him to keep the upper hand, it would not take long before she faced the risk of death.

This inflamed her anger.

She was there to slay Qin Feng to avenge her brother's child, not to bolster Qin Feng's reputation or serve as a stepping stone for him.

With that thought, Jiang Yinghong's eyes turned blood-red with fury, crazily unleashing the "Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Technique," no longer caring about Qin Feng's brute force, determined to slay him on the spot with her overpowering cultivation.

In her all-out execution, she felt that the "Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Technique" was becoming smoother and smoother. Gradually, a moment of enlightenment surged into her mind, and the Red Lotus Sword Intent even showed signs of transformation from rot to magic, changing from its originally blossoming state into a bud, then blooming in succession, its power growing stronger and stronger.

So this was the true Sword Intent of the "Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Technique"!

Jiang Yinghong had an epiphany, following that obscure sensation, her understanding of her own Sword Intent became much clearer, and the wild fiery energy in her Red Lotus Sword Energy also became more restrained, but its power increased exponentially.

Clang, clang, clang...

A series of light sounds.

Just as Qin Feng was about to shatter a burst of Red Lotus Sword Energy, he didn't expect that upon contact, it would actively disperse on its own, transforming into dozens of petals shooting towards him.

Even though Qin Feng promptly operated his cultivation technique and a layer of dark golden scales appeared on his body to block most of the Lotus Sword Energy, he was still cut by one of the streams of Sword Energy, which breached his scale defense, wounding his body.

Although it was only a negligible little cut and his strong self-healing ability quickly restored it to normal, Qin Feng was still greatly taken aback.

"You've realized Dao?!"

He looked at Jiang Yinghong in shock.

"I should thank you for the pressure you've brought upon me."

Jiang Yinghong's face gradually regained composure, but the killing intent in her eyes was stronger than ever, "As payback, I will slay you here.

Moreover, I will ensure that the entire Qin Family will accompany you in death!"

"So vicious?"

Qin Feng clicked his tongue, "No wonder that man abandoned you back then. If it were me, I wouldn't want such a heartless and ruthless woman either!"

"You're courting death!"

Jiang Yinghong, who had just calmed down, was enraged by Qin Feng uncovering the deepest scar in her heart, and she burst out in fury, "I will have you flayed and sliced, I want you to regret those words you just said!"

Then she fiercely turned her head and looked towards Huang Yulang and He Jiuzhang not far away, and shouted angrily, "You go, exterminate the Qin Family for me, I want this arrogant little boy to watch his relatives die before his eyes one by one!"

"Disciple obeys the order!"

Huang Yulang and others dared not delay and hurriedly accepted the order, steering their swords towards the Qin Family ancestral hall.

Qin Feng nonchalantly turned his head to glance, then couldn't be bothered to look any further.

Not to mention how long it would take for them to break through the ancestral hall's defensive formation, even if they managed to breach it quickly, what could it change?

The Old Family Master had a White Crane at the mid-stage Golden Core Realm, not something those Foundation Establishment Realm Sword Cultivators could deal with.

He turned his icy gaze towards Jiang Yinghong, "Even if you have entered a higher level of Cultivation Realm, what does it matter? You're not even in the Purple Mansion Realm yet, and even if you had already advanced, if I want you dead, you will die!"

"Boastful fool!"

Jiang Yinghong huffed coldly and lunged at Qin Feng with her sword, "Then let me show you the true power of the 'Fiery Fire Red Lotus Sword Technique'!"

However, before her words finished, she suddenly felt a blur before her eyes, as a huge beast that seemed like a dragon yet not a dragon, like a lizard yet not a lizard, appeared before her.

The moment this Spiritual Beast appeared, it spread its vast wings across the sky and, with a loud Dragon Roar, spewed a scorching white flame towards her.

Jiang Yinghong felt her spirit tighten and was instantly shaken by the Giant Dragon's overwhelming Dragon Power.

Although she quickly broke free, the Dragon Breath that had reached her was enough to pose a great danger.

"A Purple Mansion Realm Spiritual Beast?"

Jiang Yinghong's complexion changed drastically, "How do you have a Spiritual Beast of the Purple Mansion Realm? That's not something you can subdue!"

"Why waste your breath, you might as well just die!"

Qin Feng shouted ferociously, attacking Jiang Yinghong alongside the White Dragon.
