"He did!"
The sweet smile on Mo Tian-Tian's face instantly turned serious, and her eyes warned her older brother not to meddle.
"He didn't!"
Mo Dao remained unfazed, saying, "My knife was faster than his sword!"
"What the heck, he's justifying stealing kills!"
Qin Feng glanced displeasedly at Tian-Tian, feeling that Mo Dao was questioning his taste.
With your sister looking so plain, what's the point of marrying her? Is he going to drive a four-wheel drive on top of her!?
Tread! Tread! Tread!
Just then, a hurried sound of footsteps echoed.
Eighteen burly men, also dressed in sheepskin robes, quickly approached, carrying silver-crescent curved knives at their waists and strong bows on their backs, each with eighteen arrows.
"Boss, it's the 18 riders of the Yan Yun tribe!"
Qian Jun and Wan Ma both became serious, positioning themselves on either side of Qin Feng.
The 18 riders of the Yan Yun tribe were similar to the Qin family's thirteen guardians, powerful generals under each generation's clan leader and the backbone of the family's future.
However, these eighteen people weren't considered the true 18 riders, they were the successors that followed Mo Dao, the current young clan leader, and would only be recognized as the Yan Yun tribe's 18 riders when they grew up.
It's said that the true 18 riders each tamed a fierce demon beast of the great demon level as their mount.
When all eighteen moved together, even the Great Xia, known as the foremost dynasty of the ancient wilderness, would sound a level one wartime alert.
These eighteen individuals chosen as successors must have considerable talent.
"What's there to be nervous about!"
Qin Feng glanced indifferently, not even considering them a threat. Whether they were the Yan Yun 18 Riders or not, he wouldn't hesitate to report to Moon Goddess, Blue Demon, and Six Realms Emperor about their bullying tactics.
And the Qin family's thirteen guardians, along with the ten ancestors, were not just for show!
In this world, one needs influence and background when mingling!
If things go awry, he could seek Miss Xin n's help. He believed she wouldn't want anything to happen to Zhen Zhen, Lian lian, or Ai Ai!
"This is the arrogance of the top prodigy of Huang Gu!"
Mo Dao glanced at the calm Qin Feng, feeling immense pressure.
Only someone who declared themselves as the unparalleled in immortality, having the arrogance to claim "I am Qin Feng, the genius of Huang Gu," could remain so composed after hearing about the Yan Yun 18 Riders.
Others would probably be on high alert in the face of such a force.
"Feng gege, don't listen to my brother's nonsense!"
Tian-Tian stepped forward, blushing, and continued, "According to our rules in the Great Desert..."
"We don't have many rules in the Great Desert!"
Without waiting for Tian-Tian to finish, Mo Dao interrupted again, lifting her up and taking her away.
Tian-Tian was about to explode with anger, like a little cat with its fate grasped by the neck.
She exclaimed, "Stinky old brother, let me go quickly! This concerns the happiness of your sister's later life. Let me go..."
But regardless of Tian-Tian's antics, Mo Dao remained expressionless.
As a devoted sis-con, he would go through fire and water for whatever his sister desired.
However, being with a scum like Qin Feng was not preferable. It might be better to eliminate him first.
"This Mo Dao is too arrogant!"
Qian Jun and Wan Ma felt extremely displeased.
Throughout the entire time, Qin Feng never looked directly at their leader, as if considering himself the most upright person in the world, and their leader the most despicable.
"I won't stoop to his level!!"
Watching Mo Dao and the others head to the Blood-Red Sea to work as free labor, Qin Feng no longer bothered about the headhunting issue.
His attention was drawn to the wounds on the deceased.
"What a fast knife!"
Qin Feng wasn't the naive novice who had just transmigrated. During his seven years in the Moon Goddess Palace, he had learned a lot.
The wounds on these people were precisely two inches deep, identical in location—executed with a single stroke.
Whether in terms of strength or precision, it was near-perfect!
And this was just a basic slash without any additional buffs like blade intent.
Yet, it could instantly kill several practitioners at the Sky Sect Realm, truly taking speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness to the extreme.
Not only did it require exceptional talent in knife training, but also the endurance of the monotonous practice day after day, year after year.
Qian Jun couldn't help but ask, "Boss, is Mo Dao's knife really that formidable!?"
"Extremely formidable!"
Qin Feng looked up at Mo Dao and the others departing, saying, "Let me put it this way. In a situation where our cultivations are equal, and we engage in a duel using ordinary moves, if he makes one stroke, and I respond with one sword, I will definitely lose."
"Hiss!!"
Qian Jun and Wan Ma sucked in a cold breath, thoroughly startled by this Mo Dao.
Qin Feng's talents were definitely extraordinary, and they had witnessed it through numerous battles. However, Qin Feng was now acknowledging that he was not as skilled as Mo Dao, which would indicate Mo Dao's exceptional prowess.
Curiously, Whitey tilted its small head and asked, "But the question is, would you engage in a regular sword duel with him?"
Qin Feng replied, "No."
He then turned the question back to Whitey, asking, "Would you engage in a regular sword duel?"
Whitey, with a serious expression, responded, "No. A serious person like you wouldn't use regular sword moves in a duel!"
"Insolent!" Qin Feng and Whitey shared a similar smile, a joyous smile exclusive to scoundrels.
"Pfft!" Qian Jun and Wan Ma burst into laughter, completely unable to keep up with the rhythm of this person and rabbit duo.
It would appear that they were praising the opponent, however, they were actually praising themselves.
At this moment, people from all directions started arriving, similar to Mo Dao's group, all drawn by the allure of the divine Crystal Mine.
"So many people came!"
Qian Jun and Wan Ma's expressions changed slightly.; tThey had underestimated the temptation of the dDivine Crystal Mine. In the bBlood-Redcolored sSea, the number of people had increased significantly, reaching at least hundreds of thousands.
These were the survivors who endured the brutal Kunlun hHidden Realm, at least seventy to eighty percent of them.
They dared not say that everyone came, but at least the majority did.
Everyone was crazily digging in the Blood-Red sSea, hoping to unearth more divine Ccrystals before the closure of the Kunlun hHidden Realm.
"Truly a blessing for our Great Xia!"
Princess Nan Feng couldn't conceal her excitement.
After suffering a wipeout from Qin Feng's monstrous abilities, they thought Great Xia had already withdrawn from the competition, and decline was inevitable. Once she left, she would certainly not have a good ending.
But unexpectedly, someone revealed the Divine Crystal Mine. Fortunately, she gathered the remaining dozens of disciples, and now, as long as they dig enough Ddivine Ccrystals before the Kunlun hHidden Realm closes, the Great Xia Dynasty still has hope, and she won't face punishment.
"Let's begin!"
Princess Nan Feng's eyes sparkled with an unprecedented fighting spirit. She planned to dig continuously without eating, drinking, or sleeping until the closure of the Kunlun hHidden Realm.
A bit of hardship and fatigue were acceptable because she wasn't digging for others, she was fighting for her own future.
She wanted to seize the future.
