Strange And Troubled Times: Eternal Life Begins From Marrying A Wife

Chapter 76: Fourth Martial Uncle Lin Xue's Appointment, Understanding the Flame Blade

"Alright, tomorrow morning I will go find my father!" Qin Feng nodded slightly.

Hu Qingya and Liang Weiwei also entered the room.

Qin Feng looked at the two entering the room and followed them inside.

Soon, the beautiful night began.

Early the next day.

Qin Feng arrived at the martial arts hall.

Liang Xu was practicing the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber in the courtyard.

When Liang Xu saw Qin Feng's arrival, he immediately threw the long knife in his hand to Qin Feng.

"Practice the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber once!" Liang Xu said.

"Yes, sir!" Qin Feng took the long knife and began demonstrating the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber.

Now, Qin Feng's Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber had already been perfected.

The demonstration was not only smooth and flowing, but also featured various killing moves.

"Good, not bad!" Liang Xu nodded slightly, obviously very satisfied with Qin Feng's Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber.

"Thank you for the praise, Master!" Qin Feng put the long knife aside.

"Feng'er, do you know what day August 15th is?" Liang Xu suddenly asked.

"Reporting to Master, August 15th is the day when the Anomaly Divine Tree is weak!"

"At this time every year, the mysterious shield of the Divine Tree will have a gap."

"En!" Liang Xu nodded slightly and said, "Now that there are only a few days left until August 15th, let's go to Three Harmonies County together."

"Take a look at the gap in Three Harmonies River and the Anomaly inside Three Harmonies River."

"Yes!" Qin Feng cupped his hands.

"There is a carriage outside the gate, you drive it!" Liang Xu pointed to the carriage outside the gate.

Qin Feng nodded and sat on the carriage frame.

Liang Xu entered the carriage.

"Drive!" Qin Feng flicked the whip and the carriage quickly ran towards Eternal Peace County.

Three days later, Qin Feng drove the carriage into Eternal Peace County with Liang Xu.

Just as they entered Eternal Peace County, Qin Feng saw a masked woman entering a luxurious mansion.

"Isn't that the guardian of the Black Water Cult?" Qin Feng recognized the masked woman at a glance.

After all, Qin Feng had fought her once before.

"What happened?" Liang Xu showed his head from inside the carriage.

"Nothing, just a commoner blocking the road ahead!" Qin Feng shook his head slightly.

"Let's find an inn first and go to Three Harmonies River at night."

Liang Xu returned to the carriage.

Qin Feng drove the carriage and arrived at an inn.

Just as he entered the inn, Qin Feng sensed several Anomaly auras.

However, Qin Feng did not make a fuss, but instead went to check in with Liang Xu.

At night, Liang Xu knocked on Qin Feng's door.

"Master!" Qin Feng walked out of the room.

"Let's go, to Three Harmonies River!" Liang Xu said, then quickly ran towards Three Harmonies River.

Qin Feng hurriedly followed behind Liang Xu.

After more than half an hour, Qin Feng and Liang Xu arrived at a river.

"Feng'er, look at the red shield ahead!" Liang Xu pointed ahead.

Qin Feng looked up and indeed saw a faint red shield there.

"This is the shield of the Divine Tree!"

"This shield has enveloped the entire Three Harmonies County and Eternal Peace County!"

Liang Xu's eyes were filled with seriousness.

Qin Feng also looked ahead at the shield with a serious expression.

"Only on the fifteenth of August each year, the Divine Tree will weaken, and a small gap will appear on its shield!"

Liang Xu pointed to a corner of the Three Harmonies River.

Qin Feng followed Liang Xu's finger and indeed saw a small gap there.

"But in order to leave through this gap, one must defeat the Anomaly in the Three Harmonies River!"

Liang Xu said again.

"What cultivation level does this Anomaly have?"

Qin Feng asked curiously.

"The Anomaly's cultivation level is stronger than that of the Black Bear Anomaly!"

Liang Xu's gaze turned towards the riverbank.

Qin Feng followed Liang Xu's gaze and saw a boat quickly heading towards the gap.

Standing at the bow of the boat was a man holding a long sword.

"This person is the leader of the Black Dog Gang in Three Harmonies County, and his strength has reached the Sixth Grade Bone Refining Realm!"

Liang Xu explained.

"Sixth Grade Bone Refining Realm!"

Qin Feng also looked at the leader of the Black Dog Gang.

He wondered if this person could escape through the gap.

"Ahwoo!"

A loud roar came from the riverbed.

Immediately, a huge black shadow rushed out from the riverbed.

The enormous body completely blocked the gap, and its scales were thicker than the walls of Eternal Peace County.

"This is a Black Python Anomaly!"

"Its scales are incredibly tough, and ordinary martial arts can't harm it at all!"

"Only by cultivating the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber to the Perfected level can the Flowing Fire Blade break through its defense!"

Liang Xu pointed at the Black Python and said.

In Liang Xu's introduction, the leader of the Black Dog Gang had already started fighting the Black Python Anomaly below.

Although the leader of the Black Dog Gang was powerful and had advanced martial arts skills,

the defense of the Black Python Anomaly was too high.

Furthermore, the water is the black python's domain.

It didn't take long before the leader of the Black Dog Gang was smashed to death by the black python's tail in the Three Harmonies River.

After the death of the leader of the Black Dog Gang, several fast boats rushed towards the gap.

However, all those people were killed by the black python there.

"Let's go, let's go back first!"

Liang Xu turned and ran towards the inn.

Qin Feng quickly followed behind Liang Xu.

Just as the two of them took a few steps, several masked men in black blocked their way.

"The Black Water Cult?"

Qin Feng immediately recognized the identity of these masked men in black.

"Kill them!"

Liang Xu stood there with his hands behind his back!

Qin Feng rushed forward with the Flowing Fire Blade, and after just a few rounds, he killed these masked men in black here.

"Tap, tap, tap, tap..."

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came over.

Immediately after, a masked woman with more than ten men in black arrived here.

Liang Xu was stunned when he saw the masked woman.

A trace of surprise appeared on the masked woman's face as well.

"Protector, these two killed four of our brothers!"

One of the men in black pointed at Qin Feng and Liang Xu.

The masked woman glanced at Liang Xu before saying, "Let them go!"

"Protector, they..."

That man in black seemed unwilling to let Qin Feng and Liang Xu leave.

"Let them go!"

The masked woman shouted again.

"Yes, ma'am!"

The man in black finally waved his hand.

The many men in black immediately made way.

"Let's go!"

Liang Xu's figure moved and quickly ran towards the distance.

Qin Feng also followed behind Liang Xu.

Throughout the journey, Liang Xu's face was very bad, and he didn't even say a word.

After returning to the inn, without resting, he immediately asked Qin Feng to return to Eternal Peace County.

On the evening of the third day, Qin Feng and Liang Xu returned to Eternal Peace County.

"Feng'er, after you go back, practice the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber well!"

Liang Xu left these words and walked into the martial arts hall with a gloomy face.

"I guess that masked woman is really Senior Martial Uncle Lin Xue!"

Qin Feng made a judgment in his heart.

Otherwise, Liang Xu's face wouldn't look so bad.

For the next two months, Qin Feng has been practicing the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber and the Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique in the guard courtyard.

After more than two months of practice, the proficiency of these martial arts has made a qualitative leap.

[Azure Cloud Qi Condensation Technique Introduction: 788/1000, Qi cultivation, transcending the mortal body]

[Eternal Life Withered Tree Technique: Great Accomplishment (1065/6000), rejuvenating the withered tree, greatly increasing vitality]

[Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber Perfected: 2985/3000, Saber Qi Perfected, every strike breaks the soul]

Looking at the increased proficiency, Qin Feng's mood was very good.

Especially the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber, as long as he practices a little more, he can enter the next stage.

Qin Feng picked up his long knife and started practicing the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber again.

In Qin Feng's practice, the experience of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber also steadily increased.

After more than an hour, Qin Feng suddenly felt a powerful heat rising from his dantian.

This majestic heat quickly flowed through Qin Feng's meridians.

At the same time, a surge of memories rushed into Qin Feng's mind.

These memories were all techniques and methods of the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber.

At this moment, Qin Feng felt as if he had been practicing the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber for more than ten years.

After a while, the heat disappeared completely.

Qin Feng also felt that his physical strength, power, and agility had greatly improved.

Qin Feng also looked at his attribute panel.

Name: Qin Feng (17 years old)

Lifespan: 425 years

[Cultivation: Bone Refining Sixth Grade]

[Entries: Heaven Rewards the Diligent, Teacherless Master, Lifespan Absorption]

[Items: None]

[Wives: Hu Qingya, Liang Weiwei]

[Entry Points: 0]

[Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber Transcendent: -/- Blade Intent Great Accomplishment, surpassing the need for a knife]

"Bone Refining Sixth Grade!"

At this moment, Qin Feng noticed a line of small characters at the top.

That was his cultivation level, Bone Refining Sixth Grade.

"I guess it's because the Blood Refining Realm is not influential!"

"So the system didn't mark it!"

"Only when entering the Bone Refining Realm will the mark appear!"

Qin Feng quickly made a rough guess.

At the bottom of the attribute panel, there was another line of small characters.

"After days of hard practice, you have transcended the Five-Tigers Gate Breaking Saber to a transcendent realm."

"At the moment of breakthrough, you have comprehended the special technique, Flame Blade."

Characteristic 1: Passive, every attack carries the burning characteristic.

Characteristic 2: Infuse qi and blood into the long knife to summon a flaming long knife and deal a large amount of damage to the enemy.

"Flame Blade!"

Qin Feng was very happy.

With the comprehension of Flame Blade, Qin Feng's strength would rise again.

"Commander Qin, something big has happened!"

At this moment, Xiaoma rushed over in a hurry.

"What happened?"

Qin Feng put away his long knife.

"Commander Qin, two guards from our medicinal collection team were killed!"

"Their heads were thrown into the martial arts arena!"

Xiaoma's voice trembled.

"Lead the way!"

Qin Feng took his long knife and walked out.

Soon, Xiaoma and Qin Feng arrived at the martial arts arena.

At this moment, there were two bloody heads on the martial arts arena.

"It's Lao Zhang and Xiao Li..."

"How could they be killed?"

Many guards recognized the two heads.

They were two guards of the Medicine Escort Team.

"Swish!"

At the moment Qin Feng arrived, an arrow shot from afar.

Qin Feng easily dodged the arrow.

"Thud!"

With a light sound, the arrow directly pierced into a big tree.

On the arrowhead, there was a letter attached.

Xiao Ma quickly ran to the foot of the tree and took the letter.

Qin Feng carefully opened the letter and read it.

Looking at the words on the envelope, Qin Feng's face immediately turned gloomy.

This letter was written by a leader of the Black Water Cult.

The leader of the Black Water Cult invited Qin Feng to meet at a pavilion twenty miles east of Eternal Peace County.

If Qin Feng didn't come to the appointment, two guards from the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor would be killed every day.

"Captain Qin, what does the letter say?"

Xiao Ma curiously asked.

"People from the Black Water Cult!"

Qin Feng did not give the letter to Xiao Ma, but instructed him and the others not to go out recently.

At this moment, Qin Feng and the others already had a guess in their hearts.

It must be because two months ago, Qin Feng destroyed the Black Water Cult's estate in Soft Wind Mountain.

This made the people of the Black Water Cult very unhappy.

So the people from the Black Water Cult invited Qin Feng to meet twenty miles east of the city.

Qin Feng did not go directly to the pavilion twenty miles away.

Instead, he came to the martial arts hall.

"Black Water Cult?"

Looking at the letter in his hand, Liang Xu's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

After a while, Liang Xu said, "People from the Black Water Cult are polite before they resort to force."

"You can boldly go to the appointment, but you must refuse their drinks!"

"Disciple remembers!"

Qin Feng nodded slightly.

Liang Xu fell silent for a while, then took out a jade pendant from his body.

He looked at the jade pendant in his hand for a while before saying, "If you encounter the female guardian from last time, show her this jade pendant!"

"She won't trouble you when she sees this jade pendant!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Qin Feng took the jade pendant from Liang Xu.

"Go!"

Liang Xu waved his hand.

"Disciple takes his leave!"

Qin Feng stepped back.

After more than an hour, Qin Feng arrived at the pavilion.

At this moment, there were a man and a woman standing in the pavilion.

The woman was dressed in white, graceful and beautiful.

The man had his face covered, standing respectfully behind the woman.

Behind the two of them, there was a guard from the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor tied up.

"Captain Qin!"

Seeing Qin Feng's arrival, the guard's face was filled with excitement.

"Guard Lin, I'm here. Can you release him now?"

Qin Feng looked at the woman in white.

At the moment he saw this woman in white, Qin Feng recognized her.

She was the masked woman Qin Feng had seen by the river.

She was also Liang Xu's junior sister, Lin Xue.

"Hahaha, Captain Qin is indeed straightforward!"

Lin Xue laughed twice and waved her hand lightly.

The masked man untied the guard.

As soon as the guard was untied, he quickly ran behind Qin Feng.

"You go back to the Eternal Peace Medicine Manor first!"

Qin Feng waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, the guard quickly ran outside.

Lin Xue and the masked man didn't make any moves.

"Bring out the wine. I invite Captain Qin to have a drink!"

While saying this, Lin Xue sat down on the chair with a smile.

The masked man stepped back, and soon he came to the stone table with a jug of wine and some dishes.
