Chapter 92 - The First Triumphant Battle
The young man in black clothing was shuttling through the barbarians, using mysterious footsteps, while holding a dagger in his hand. Interestingly enough, his natural and unrestricted steps made him look like an elegant dancer. Every now and then, as he moved around, a glaring beam of light flashed from his eyes. Whenever a barbarian drew close to him, he would be able to have their minds frozen, letting him freely cut through their throats. With widened eyes, the barbarians collapsed on the ground, one after another, while blood kept gushing out from their decapitated bodies…
“Oh, My God! Shiqi, since when is this young lord so invincible? What’s that light in his eyes? Is it an Enchantment Skill like the one of the Yue Family? Oh, look at his cyan dagger… I guess it’s at least a treasure-level weapon. Wait… his footsteps… Oh! It’s great elder Ye Qingniu’s Running Bull Step. But this guy’s style of steps seems even more unbridled…”
Feng Meng scratched his head, while staring at Qinghan with voracious eyes. He was pondering… If he had the same weapon as Qinghan was currently using, would he have let the Barbarian Emperor get away so easily? No! Despite his envy over Qinghan’s dagger, he could do nothing about it. It was said that no craftsman in this continent was able to make high level weapons, and one could only find these rare things in one place – the Luo Shen Mountain! Based on Feng Meng’s ability, so far, it was far too dangerous for him to enter that place…
“No, I think it isn’t our Enchantment Skill, although it resembles our technique in some ways. But… his speed is much faster, and the duration of his skill is distinctively longer than ours. I heard he’s the son of Yue Shui’er, but I’ve never heard of any male being able to inherit such a skill. Oh, this young man is full of secrets…” Yue Xian’gu, one of the three appointed cultivators to chase the Barbarian Emperor, replied to Feng Meng with a frowned expression. As a Prince-Realm female cultivator, Yue Xian’gu didn’t share the normal dominating manner of her male counterparts; rather, she painstakingly kept presenting herself in a gorgeous manner, though she didn’t have the slightest touch of a female immortal as her name suggested. (Xian’gu literally means a female immortal)
“Haha! Let me tell you, Ye Qinghan is the unofficially announced future leader of the Ye Family!”
As smart as Shiqi was, he wouldn’t act silly by telling them of Qinghan’s integration technique. So he replied with some irrelevant news, yet he was surprisingly proud when saying these words. Looking at this young lord, who always smiled when he talked to his subordinates, Shiqi felt rather lucky to have met him. One day, when Qinghan ascended the throne and became the Ye Family Leader, Shisan’s life would certainly change in a better direction…
Meanwhile, the expression on Qingcheng’s face was rather complicated. As Qinghan “danced” in the group of barbarians, her feeling to marry him grew even stronger.
Since they had first met on the boat on the Tranquil Lake, Qingcheng realized she had a crush on Qinghan for his talented literary skills, as well as his distinctive personality. After seeing Qinghan’s performance – the Dance of the Cavalry, Qingcheng was even more assured in her determination to marry Qinghan…
Meanwhile, another admirer of Qinghan, was Qingwu. Back in the Drunken-heart Garden, she had witnessed Qinghan’s true masculine side – he had killed the people he hated most in front of the family members, including the Emperor-Realm Ye Ron. Now, over these past few months, this unyielding young man was quickly maturing. It was true that Qingwu also had some kind of feelings for Qinghan, but when she looked at Qingcheng, the potential future wife of Qinghan, she was suddenly filled with a blend feeling of sadness, and envy. Also, Qinghan’s sister, Ye Qingyu, who was willing to sacrifice her own life in order to save her brother, was another competitor in love. As a result, she was really at a loss and didn’t know what to do about her feelings for Qinghan.
It only took Qinghan a few minutes to slaughter all the remaining barbarians. In order to tidy himself up, Qinghan rubbed his blood-stained face, but this only made it worse. Without noticing others’ astonished looks, Qinghan rolled his sleeves up, and started to collect the corpses.
The rest of the group also joined in helping Qinghan to place the corpses together in one place. Soon after, they had collected all the scattered barbarian bodies, and Qinghan began to take the rings off of the corpses. Eventually, he found the number of credits had accumulated to nearly one thousand! Out of sheer happiness, Qinghan couldn’t help but grin like a baby, even though the blood stains on his face made his expression somewhat hideous and savage, which led others to take a step back, as they had goose bumps. When Qinghan finished collecting the credits, he made a victory gesture to Shisan, who was also smiling with a blood-smeared face.
“Everyone, please retreat to the cave where we spent the night yesterday!
