Weng! Weng!
The crisp sound of a sword reverberated across the Qin family's city as nine beams of sword light pierced through the sky like comets.
"Nine Sky Swords!"
Everyone present was knowledgeable, instantly recognising the nine swords.
They had also heard the tales of how the shameless eldest young master had swindled the Great Xia Emperor of the Nine Sky Swords and the Sky Treasure Gourd when he hurriedly visited five years ago.
Initially, they had dismissed it as a mere rumour, never imagining that he would truly be shameless enough to flaunt the nine swords.
"Nine Sword Unification!"
Qin Feng performed a magical gesture with his hand, which tapped the nine swords that flew his way.
Weng! Weng!
A gust of wind from the swords surged forth, lifting the dust from the ground. The force of the nine swords grew stronger, creating a sound reminiscent of roaring waves that resounded throughout the entire vicinity.
When the wind had finally subsided, a longsword emitting a chilling light was hovering in front of Qin Feng.
This was the companion sword of the Sky Sword God, the Paladin weapon ranked among the top ten in Huang Gu—the Sky God Sword!
Qin Feng had spent the past five years under the guidance of the tenth ancestor, successfully tempering the Nine Sky Swords.
Although he could neither replicate the full might of the legendary Sky Sword God nor did he possess the strength to completely utilise the Nine Sky Swords, he was still capable of using them in battle.
"Nine Sky Swords!"
Lin San's gaze burned with intensity as his breath quickened.
He didn't have a choice!
He was using the sword technique of the Sky Sword God, a revered figure from ten thousand years ago, or more precisely, he had inherited the essence of his legacy. Lin San believed that acquiring the Nine Sky Swords would grant him the power to reclaim the might of the Sky Sword God.
However, he also understood that the Qin family was not to be trifled with. Snatching the swords in broad daylight would only lead to his certain death. For now, he could only bide his time and wait for the right opportunity.
"You are no match for me, even with the blessing of the God Sword!"
Lin San had absolute faith in his inheritance of the legacy of the Sky Sword God. He thrust his hand forward, slicing through the dusty air with a bright sword light.
Sky Sword Art!
This unparalleled sword technique was a God-tier Sword Art that the Sky Sword God had attained from his understanding of the laws governing heaven and earth. It possessed the ability to vanquish gods and even Buddha, an invincible skill within the realm of Huang Gu.
"This is......"
Qin Tian and Lin Hao were both experienced individuals who immediately recognised the Sky Sword Art.
It was beyond doubt that the Sky Sword God, from ten thousand years ago, could never have anticipated his own sword art to be employed against his companion sword like this.
"No!"
Qin Tian's expression drastically changed as he attempted to intervene.
Despite possessing the Qualities of God, his remarkable eldest son was merely eight years old. How could he withstand the might of the Sky Sword God's sword art?
However, even before the words could escape his lips, he witnessed his son's gaze turning sharp as he assumed a stance for unsheathing his sword.
Sky-Splitting Sword Technique!
With a nod and a swift unsheath!
The clear and resonating clang of the sword being unsheathed echoed through the skies. A bewitchingly unconstrained sword light emanated, accompanied by the cold chill that engulfed the ground. The astonishing, dragon-like sword light coiled as if it was about to cleave the sky in two.
"What kind of sword technique is this!"
Among the experienced seniors present, none had ever witnessed a technique like this before.
'Could this be a technique he had created himself?!'
Devoid of any pomp or ostentation, it was an undefeatable sword that pursued perfection. The mere act of unsheathing the sword had the power to cut the heavens and scorch the earth, enough to decide the outcome of a battle.
Rumble!!
The collision of the two sword lights sent shockwaves rippling through the skies, accompanied by a deafening explosion and a swirling vortex of terrifying energy.
"Mother......"
"Daddy......"
Qin Hao and Lin Xin'er grabbed onto their parents' clothes, struggling to remain grounded amidst the turbulent force due to their relatively low cultivation.
"How can this be!!"
Lin San's eyes widened in sheer disbelief, unable to fathom the idea of how an eight-year-old child could wield such a profound sword technique.
He had arrogantly believed that his higher cultivation, comprehension of sword intent, and inheritance from the Sky Sword God were more than enough to easily secure his victory against a mere child.
However, he has now been confronted with the truth that his sword was far from being the strongest, a lesson taught by his opponent.
Ping!!
The sword in Lin San's grasp shattered, unable to withstand the sheer sharpness of the Sky God Sword.
While he had the Sky Sword Art, Qin Feng wielded the Sky-Splitting Sword Technique.
He had sword intent, while Qin Feng had the Sky God Sword.
Although his cultivation stood two layers above Qin Feng's, the child's Qualities of God's tenfold amplification effect, coupled with the mana regeneration of the Sky Treasure Gourd, made it completely unreasonable for Qin Feng to lose.
"What?!"
Lin San's face contorted with full of disbelief. He had actually lost to an eight-year-old child.
He had been accustomed to being the underdog in battles, leading to the formation of his indomitable heart. Yet today, he had been defeated by an eight-year-old child, causing fissures of doubt to form within his undefeated heart.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to Master for creating a crack in the Chosen One's undefeated heart. You have obtained 10,000 villain points!"
"A crack is worth 10,000? If I were to stab a knife into his heart, wouldn't I get a few billion in seconds!"
Filled with high spirits, Qin Feng moved his feet according to his skill, Phantom Escape, thrusting the Sky God Sword in his hands toward Lin San's chest.
'If I love him, I would stab him in the heart!'
"No!!"
Despite his undefeated heart, Lin San was still just a fourteen-year-old child. After being taught a lesson by Qin Feng, his rhythm was thrown into disarray as he was relentlessly pushed back.
Every cut that appeared on his body only intensified Qin Feng's affection for him.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to the Master for injuring the Chosen One. You have obtained 500 villain points!"
"Ding dong! Congratulations to the Master for injuring the Chosen One. You have obtained 500 villain points!"
"........."
Never before had he felt so invigorated during a beating, especially since Qin Hao was his blood-related younger brother.
"My brother is the best!!"
Qin Hao's chest was puffed out in pride, wanting nothing more than to let everyone know that this remarkable person was his brother.
On the other hand, Lin Xin'er stomped her feet nonstop in anger, wanting to rush forward and give this brat a good beating. However, Yun Xu Yue, who had grown fond of the prideful little girl, picked her up and held her back.
"The outcome of this spar has been decided. Brother Qin's son truly has the Qualities of God!"
Lin Hao laughed and waved his arm, and just as Qin Feng was about to stab Lin San's heart, he had pulled Lin San back.
'Are you kidding me?!'
Lin San was the child destined to become the number one swordsman in a hundred years. How could he allow Qin Feng to stab his heart?
"Hmph......"
Qin Feng felt upset by Lin Hao's actions. His point farm had been snatched away just like that.
However, he didn't say anything. He understood the mysteriousness of the nature of Chosen Ones. If he forcefully tried to detain Lin San, he knew that Lin San would definitely activate some kind of halo and have an expert come to his rescue.
It was better for Qin Feng to take his winnings and leave rather than invite unnecessary trouble upon himself.
"Haha......"
Hearing someone praising his great eldest son, Qin Tian couldn't contain his laughter. He knew that the marriage alliance was more or less confirmed now.
The welcoming ceremony continued.
Qin Tian brought Lin Hao into the Qin family's city.
The powerful disciples of their clan stood in rows, gaining the envy of Lin Hao.
If he had a choice, he would rather allocate his resources to cultivate members of his blood-related clan rather than investing in someone completely unrelated unless they had displayed absolute loyalty towards him.
However, whether or not they were loyal wasn't something that he could be sure of!
Quickly—
The parents of both sides started to discuss the marriage between their children.
They had expected that Lin Hao would choose Qin Feng, the child who had recently demonstrated his Qualities of God. However, contrary to everyone's expectations, he had actually selected the spectator, Qin Hao, as his son-in-law.
"Fuck!!"
After finding out what had happened, Qin Feng couldn't stop himself from cursing out loud. Once again, he had refreshed his knowledge of just how unreasonable Chosen Ones could be.
He fought as valiantly as a tiger in the battle, yet he was completely overlooked in the marriage discussions......
