Chapter 106: You call that strength?
Chapter 106: You call that strength?
In Qin Zheng's original plan, the Commander-in-Chief's residence should be the bustling hub of the entire prefecture, a place of unparalleled prosperity.
However, he never imagined that the Commander-in-Chief's location would turn out to be the most dangerous place in Qingzhou.
Demons lurked in every direction, and a single misstep could send one plummeting into the abyss.
Linyuan, Linyuan, no wonder it's called by this name.
Qin Zheng thought to himself as he followed the Military Commander in front of him, gradually heading towards the Inner Courtyard.
The compound was quite expansive, featuring a spacious Martial Training Ground where Qin Zheng witnessed numerous Martial Artists practicing their skills as he passed by.
Among them were high-level Martial Artists guiding the newcomers in their cultivation.
In such an environment, there was no shortage of martial skills, food, or guidance.
It was no wonder that they could produce Demon Slayer Commanders in large numbers, ready to be dispatched across Qingzhou.
"The Commander-in-Chief's esteemed disciples often come here to impart their martial arts knowledge and share their personal experiences, ensuring rapid progress for everyone."
The Military Commander spoke again, explaining the Martial Training Ground to Qin Zheng.
After passing through the training ground, they reached a dense bamboo forest with a winding path made of cobblestones, leading to the other side.
Soon, Qin Zheng found his way through this path and arrived at an archway.
"General Qin, this is the Inner Courtyard."
Qin Zheng nodded; compared to the bustling Outer Courtyard, the Inner Courtyard was much quieter.
The two were about to step into the Inner Courtyard.
Swish!
Suddenly, a large halberd appeared, and a chilling, sharp light flashed like a shadow.
The Military Commander seemed to be caught off guard.
Qin Zheng grabbed the Military Commander in front of him, preventing him from moving forward in his daze.
At the same time, a crack appeared on the ground between the two of them.
If Qin Zheng hadn't pulled him back, the Military Commander's foot would have been cut in two!
Realizing what had happened, the Military Commander's face paled, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Qin Zheng turned his gaze towards a young man nearby, holding a large halberd and exuding defiance.
The young man was not very old, around fifteen or sixteen, a bit younger than Qin Zheng.
"The Inner Courtyard is off-limits to ordinary people!"
As Qin Zheng's gaze fell on him, the young man spoke with disdain.
The Military Commander, having recovered from his initial shock, quickly explained, "Young Master Xiang, this is General Qin, personally invited by Fu Yu. He is here on Fu Yu's orders."
Hearing this, the young man's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Call me Xiang Da Ren, not Young Master Xiang. I earned my place in the Commander-in-Chief's eyes through my own abilities, not because of my brother!"
The Military Commander nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Xiang Da Ren, this is Fu Yu's esteemed guest. Please allow us to enter the Inner Courtyard."
The young man shook his head, his gaze fixed on Qin Zheng, and he said mockingly, "Are you the country bumpkin who injured Chu Long?"
"If you think that injuring that waste is enough to gain entry to the Inner Courtyard, to be favored by the Commander-in-Chief, and to become his personal disciple, I advise you to abandon such thoughts."
"I don't acknowledge such claims as 'Fu Yu's esteemed guest.' If you want to come in, it's simple—defeat me, and you can enter the Inner Courtyard!"
His words were filled with provocation.
"Do you have the guts?!"
The Military Commander's expression was filled with difficulty.
He didn't know who Qin Zheng was, but he was well aware that the young man with the halberd was the Overlord's younger brother.
A Grand Grandmaster who had completed his Life Wheel and connected the Heaven-Earth Bridge before the age of fifteen!
Such a prodigious talent was not someone that just anyone could defeat!
Just as the Military Commander was about to plead for mercy, a hand gently patted his shoulder.
"It's fine."
Then, to the Military Commander's surprise, Qin Zheng stepped across the crack in the ground created by the halberd, the boundary drawn by the young man.
"General Qin!"
The Military Commander's expression froze, and he exclaimed in astonishment.
At that moment, the young man charged forward with a ferocious laugh, "You're the first to seek death before me!"
The formidable aura of a Grand Grandmaster erupted like a flood, unrestrained and overwhelming.
The powerful aura caused the ground beneath everyone's feet to tremble.
The large halberd descended like an ancient pillar, smashing towards Qin Zheng with immense force!
The young man's strength was on full display.
The Military Commander's face was a mix of fear and reluctance, as if he could already envision Qin Zheng being split in two by the halberd.
But—
Bang!
A seemingly ordinary hand reached out, effortlessly catching the terrifying halberd by its shaft.
The Military Commander's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Is that all the strength you have?"
Qin Zheng gripped the halberd's shaft, his gaze fixed on the young man before him.
"You?!"
The young man's expression was one of shock. He looked up at Qin Zheng, his expression turning fierce as he prepared to pull out the halberd for another attack.
Hum—
True Qi surged within Qin Zheng's body, and his entire being was filled with power.
Qin Zheng yanked the halberd, causing the young man to stumble uncontrollably towards him.
And then, Qin Zheng took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the youth.
He immediately grabbed the youth's head and lifted it slightly, then slammed it hard onto the ground!
Boom!
A huge roar echoed, causing the ground to tremble!
Then,
Lift! Slam!
Lift! Slam!
Qin Zheng's face was cold as he grabbed the youth's head and repeatedly slammed it onto the ground.
This youth had used such a ruthless move upon his debut. If he was truly just an ordinary Master Realm cultivator, he might have had his feet severed by the Military Commander the moment he stepped into the Inner Courtyard.
For a martial artist, this was almost equivalent to having their martial path severed!
Not to mention that after Qin Zheng had fully entered the Inner Courtyard, this youth had used a killing move right from the start!
He showed no mercy, as if he was determined to kill Qin Zheng!
No matter who this person was or what background he had in the Commander's Residence, or his relationship with the Commander-in-Chief,
Since he had taken action, he should be prepared to face the consequences.
Qin Zheng was neither his parent nor a relative, and he wouldn't show any mercy!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of loud roars reverberated.
Under Qin Zheng's actions, the ground quickly cracked, and fissures spread rapidly in all directions.
With his immense strength, even the ground began to shake.
The youth's struggles gradually weakened, and his aura plummeted like an avalanche.
However, what piqued Qin Zheng's curiosity was that the youth's head seemed unusually hard.
Being grabbed and slammed onto the ground by such powerful force, it had only scraped off a bit of skin, and there wasn't even a trace of blood!
"That's enough, if I keep slamming, he'll really die."
At this moment, a slightly cold female voice sounded in his ear.
Qin Zheng's actions slowly came to a halt, and he turned to look at the woman in plain white clothes not far away.
"When he attacked just now, he didn't intend to let me live either."
Qin Zheng looked at her and spoke calmly.
The woman sighed softly and said, "A good scolding will do, wait until his brother returns, and he will surely teach him a lesson."
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes, and the hand gripping the youth's head tightened slightly.
After a few breaths, Qin Zheng relaxed his grip and threw the now-unconscious youth to the ground, standing up.
This boy's physique was somewhat peculiar, unreasonably powerful!
Qin Zheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, filled with doubt.
He then raised his head and looked at the woman across from him, intending to ask about her identity.
"Sun Zhi Lan!"
Behind him, the Military Commander seemed to have just snapped out of his previous shock and hurriedly spoke respectfully, interrupting Qin Zheng.
The woman nodded and said, "You may leave now, I'll take him to rest."
Hearing this, the Military Commander nodded and turned his gaze towards Qin Zheng, still filled with disbelief and awe.
The younger brother of the Overlord had barely reached his fifteenth year when he connected the Heaven-Earth Bridge and advanced to the Grand Master Realm.
Yet, he was directly grabbed by the head and slammed by this person!
What kind of ferocious strength was this!
He clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, General Qin!"
If not for Qin Zheng, his martial path might have ended just now.
Although he was a bit slow on the uptake, he wasn't completely clueless.
Qin Zheng nodded, and the Military Commander quickly left.
"Sun Zhi Lan, the third disciple of the Commander-in-Chief."
As Qin Zheng turned around, the woman in white had already approached and introduced herself.
"Qin Zheng, the Deputy Commander of the N Character Camp."
Qin Zheng responded.
Sun Zhi Lan came before Qin Zheng and lifted the severely injured and unconscious youth, saying, "His brother is the second disciple of the Commander-in-Chief, known as the Brutal Ba Wang. If you kill him, that brute will never let you off."
After saying this, she turned and walked towards a certain direction.
Qin Zheng's eyes flashed, and he followed her.
He remembered Chu Long, who was known as the Little Tyrant.
If Chu Long wasn't someone to be trifled with, then this youth wasn't either. As for the strength of the Overlord, it was unknown.
Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes.
He had spared the youth not because of the so-called Overlord, but because the woman's aura had already locked onto him! If he continued to take action, this woman might intervene!
And this was the Overlord's territory; he had just arrived and killed a relative of his disciple and even fought with his disciple.
Regardless of the reasons or the outcome, if the conflict escalated like this, it would likely put the Commander-in-Chief in a difficult position.
It would also affect Qin Zheng's chances of obtaining the ultimate martial art from the Commander-in-Chief!
Therefore, after weighing the situation, Qin Zheng decided to release the youth.
For now, he would wait until he obtained the inner strength technique before taking any further action, as this was his primary purpose for coming here.
Following the woman's footsteps, they arrived at a small courtyard.
"For the next few days, you can rest here temporarily. When the Commander-in-Chief and the others return, someone will come to call you."
After speaking, the woman disappeared from Qin Zheng's sight before he could respond.
Qin Zheng's eyebrows raised slightly.
Such incredible lightfoot techniques again!
This disciple of the Commander-in-Chief truly cultivated divine martial arts!
Qin Zheng became even more eager to learn the martial art he would receive after the Commander-in-filled with anticipation for the Commander-in-Chief's return.
