Chapter 90: Shocking Hidden Secrets

  Qin Hengtian's body slowly descended.

  A lion pounces on a rabbit with all its might, and as a warrior with heavenly-level strength and extremely rich experience. Qin Hengtian understood this principle even better. Although he scolded fiercely, he didn't belittle Qin Li because of it, and was able to escape from the pursuit of two heavenly-level warriors for an entire day. Would such a person be a simple character?

  "Get out here! You coward! Little bastard! Little rascal! Little beast!"

  Qin Hengtian had already entered the Heavenly level a hundred years ago, and now his strength has reached the sixth stage of the Heavenly level. He is a genuine strongman, but his temperament has never changed, and he hasn't become any more approachable due to his hundred-year seclusion. On the contrary, he has become even more stubborn with age!

  In the pitch-black and quiet forest, Qin Hengtian's voice echoed everywhere. This day's time was spent chasing out nearly a thousand miles, and the temperature here was much higher than in Huangsha City. Even in this forest, there was a sultry and humid air that made Qin Hengtian feel uncomfortable without his hair.

  How is this possible? How is this possible? Qin Hengtian's mind was filled with question marks. This low-level warrior, whose yuan force fluctuated weakly, how could he suddenly disappear from under his own eyes?

  In his mind, Qin Hengtian stood there, releasing a powerful spiritual sense, within a radius of hundreds of meters. Even the slightest movement of an ant couldn't escape his spiritual awareness, yet he didn't detect even a hint of anyone's existence.

  This made Qin Hengtian suddenly feel a chill run down his spine, not fear, this old guy who had lived for over two hundred years was not so lacking in dignity as to be afraid of a martial artist whose strength was far inferior to his own. But in an instant, a living person just disappeared like that, "it's also too strange!"

  Like a stone thrown into a muddy pit, without even a bubble rising, it was swallowed up.

  The sword that had not been moved for many years was finally slowly drawn out from behind by Qin Hengtian.

  The night is as dark as water, and the treasure sword shines with a cold light. Just like Qin Hengtian's eyes, angry and icy!

  He suddenly had a feeling that he was like a poor clown. Being played around by a little guy who might not even be his age, and then standing foolishly in the middle of this annoying forest.

  With all his might concentrated in his sword, he made a horizontal sweep!

  A fiery red light suddenly shot out from Qin Hengtian's sword, extending over a zhang in length, following his body as he abruptly spun around in a circle!

  On a quiet night, in the damp forest, suddenly a loud crash rang out, those ancient trees that were hundreds of years old, instantly collapsed with a loud crash!

  Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

  As Qin Hengtian truly displayed his skills, the might of a top-class warrior was fully revealed. In an instant, within a hundred meters around him, it was a scene of utter devastation!

  Even the ground was blown out into deep pits!

  "Come out! Come out for me! Qin Hengtian's angry roar, each accompanied by a fierce and ruthless sword move."

  Qin Li finally saw with his own eyes how much difference there was in the high-level battle skills between a Tian-class strongman and an Xuan-class martial artist!

  It's simply earth-shattering!

  At this moment, Qin Li is less than 500 meters away from Qin Huan Tian! He's sitting on a giant tree with lush branches and leaves. He's using the Turtle Breathing Technique to seal off all his meridians. If he didn't want to see Qin Huan Tian's movements, he could even stop his heartbeat completely. Now, every half day, it would slowly beat once, unless it's someone from the Broken Sky Realm or above, otherwise, no one can detect his presence!

  Using this move, Qin Li was also forced to be helpless. The Turtle Breathing Technique was passed down by the old Taoist priest of his previous life, and he used this move. Qin Li had narrowly escaped death several times before. This was still the first time in this life that he used it, and the target was a super strong Heavenly level martial artist!

  Facing Qin Hengtian, Qin Li had no confidence in winning at all. If it were a land-level warrior, Qin Li would have probably jumped out already and let the Blood Drinking Sword truly drink blood.

  Qin Hengtian carefully searched the area he had ravaged for half a day, but still couldn't find any trace of Qin Li. He couldn't help feeling anxious and restless, because under his divine consciousness, it was impossible for Qin Li to escape too far away. So, he must be hiding somewhere nearby!

  Since you're hiding so well, I'll lure you out, Old Man Qin. I'm going to tell a story that's one of a kind in the world! I just don't believe it - after hearing my story, you won't have even half a ripple of emotion!

  "Hey kid, let me tell you a story."

  "Do you know what your grandfather Qin's family used to do?" Qin Hengtian asked with a strange laugh while searching around.

  "In those years, my father, the ancestor of the Qin family, was just a ordinary butcher who opened a small tavern in Huangsha Town to serve the hunters coming and going. One day, a very powerful hunter with heavenly-level strength entered one of the four most dangerous places, the Absolute Killing Grounds, and barely escaped with his life, bringing out several ancient martial arts manuals and the Primordial Heart Method, but also suffered severe internal injuries. When he returned, he was taken in by my father, who appeared to be a foolish butcher, and was given a package of Soul-Devouring Medicine mixed with a Bone-Peeling Knife, which...

  Qin Hengtian laughed complacently: "Haha, at that time I was still young and watched from the side as my father used his knife to peel off the strong warrior's flesh bit by bit, just like slaughtering a pig. Hehe, back then I wondered why it took so long for my father to peel the warrior's body when he could easily kill pigs with two or three cuts. Now I understand that the bodies of heavenly-level warriors are extremely resilient and ordinary knives can't harm them... but in the end, he still died. A generation of strong warriors didn't die in the dangerous grounds, but instead died so pathetically under a butcher's knife, haha!"

  Qin Hengtian burst out laughing crazily, but his face didn't have a hint of smile!

  His intuition reached its peak at this moment, and as long as the other party had a slight emotional fluctuation, he would immediately discover it. However, the other party's patience was much better than he imagined.

  "Did you know why my father killed him? A mere butcher. He didn't understand the value of martial arts and techniques, and at that time, Huangsha City was still desolate with few households. That strong warrior came to our house, ridiculing my father as a weakling, ordering him around like a slave! In the end, he died. Young man, do you think this is retribution? I swear, if you come forward now and hand over the treasure from Fenghuang Lake, I won't make things difficult for you. Instead, I'll reward you with boundless wealth!"

  Qin Hengtian stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, walking in the direction where Qin Lixi was hiding.

  "If you keep hiding, thinking you can escape my search, haha, once I find you, that heavenly warrior just now will be your example! I'll peel the flesh off your body piece by piece, bit by bit. Don't underestimate my skills, I've learned from my father for 20 years! And, there's still salt on my body, haha!"

  Hiding in the tree, Qin Li cursed loudly in his heart: Old pervert, old beast, old bastard!

  If Qin Li hadn't used the Turtle Breathing Technique at this moment, Qin Hengtian's words would have really made him feel sick to his stomach. What he said was truly disgusting and would make any normal person's emotions fluctuate. Just because of a little resentment, he could actually torture someone to death. Probably only cold-blooded psychopathic killers and dead people wouldn't be affected by this.

  Qin Hengtian was also tired from walking. He came to the giant tree where Qin Li was hiding, leaned against the trunk, took out his water bag and drank a few mouthfuls of water, scanning around with his eyes, hoping to find something unusual.

  However, what disappointed him was that after his efforts, there wasn't even a bug left in the surrounding area. The forest was eerily quiet.

  "Hmm, the previous story wasn't pleasant to hear, so I'll tell you a secret instead. I reckon you're also from a family in Huangsha City, right? Although I haven't seen you before, you seem quite familiar with Fenghuang Lake. You shouldn't be an outsider, huh? Alright then, let me tell you something... Ah yes! Over thirty years ago, when I occasionally left the pass, I discovered that my Qin family had become extremely prosperous and owned a large business. If my father could see the Qin family's current prosperity, he would be at peace in the afterlife. However, I found out that the Qin family has many, many children... I was delighted! A house full of descendants is a good thing!"

  Qin Hengtian's voice was low and magnetic, as he said, indeed a master of storytelling, Qin Li was happy to listen to him ramble on.

  "But when I asked, I found out that most of these little brats were actually stolen! That little scamp Qin Hongyuan has indeed inherited the fine traditions of our Qin family! Among them, there was a little girl who was delicate and lovely, really too cute for words! The old man took one look and fell in love with her, heh heh. Don't look at me as being over two hundred years old, but that aspect is still very powerful!"

  Qin Hengtian chuckled a few times and simultaneously opened up his divine sense, if the other party was indeed a descendant of Huangsha City, it's impossible for them to not have any interest in this matter!

  "Still no news," Qin Hengtian cursed silently in his heart and continued to speak.

  "I thought to myself, this girl will grow up to be a stunning beauty by the time she's in her twenties! So I asked him to keep her for me. Who knew that little scoundrel would say that she was meant to be given to the Emperor later on, to help our Qin family rise to prominence. He searched far and wide before finding such a girl with exceptional talent. What a great thing! Not knowing whether to leave it for our ancestors or give it to the Emperor to enjoy. I was very angry, but since it's all for the sake of the Qin family, I endured it."

  But what Qin Hengtian didn't know was that his unintentionally spoken words had already shocked Qin Li into a stunned silence. Listening to his shameless tone, a 200-year-old old monster indulging in lustful thoughts about his own mother, Qin Li's anger ignited like a raging fire. He really felt an urge to break free from the Turtle Breathing Technique and kill this old beast with one sword strike.

  "Alas, the result is that this time I went out of the pass, Qin Hongyuan that little scoundrel said that the little slut had eloped with someone and even gave birth to a bastard! And in his words, there was a tone of speaking up for that little slut. How dare he? Does he really think she's his daughter? Ah, damn it, this is outrageous! It's infuriating me! If I had known this would happen, I should have gotten rid of that little slut back then!"

  "Get out of here!"

  A thunderous roar shook the sky, a sword aura of unparalleled ferocity descended from above, slashing straight down towards Qin Hengtian's head!
