Qian Chenfeng kept recalling the penetrative strike Qian Jin released at a short distance. Seemingly, Qian Chenyu had reduced the force of Qian Jin's strike, but in fact, the momentum of that strike had completely quelled Qian Chenyu, leaving a long and deep rupture in his wake.
And the appalling way Qian Jin moved. Qian Chenfeng tapped his thighs with his fingers, wondering how Qian Jin cultivated this fighting technique. As it seemed to be superior to the Sky Stealing Steps, Qian Chenfeng figured maybe he could escalate his performance of Sky Stealing Steps if he could combine Qian Jin's fighting technique with his own.
To catch Qian Jin? Qian Chenfeng uttered a light sigh and slowly lifted his feet. As long as he seized Qian Jin…
"Haha, boy, you made a nice shot." Pam Honzi made a big leap forward, jumped into the battlefield and propped up Qian Jin who showed was beginning to fall down. "My little ally, you really had a great surprise for me."
Qian Chenfeng's feet were frozen midair as he was in lost on whether to go on lifting them or take his feet back. His squinting eyes got even narrower. Ally? Qian Jin was an ally to Pam Honzi? So was the fighting technique he used just now a new creation of the Pam Family? What did Qian Jin use as an exchange with the Pam Family to be their ally? If it was the truth…
Qian Chenfeng gradually took back his frozen feet and turned to gaze at Qian Jin bemusedly. How did this good-for-nothing trash ally with the Hydra Bloodline Warrior Family? What was special about him? Given his combat abilities two months ago, he could have been favored by Pam Honzi. Had he…
Things must be what he guessed them to be. Qian Chenfeng nodded his head secretly as he believed that Pam Honzi allied with this poor thing and taught him the fighting technique just to fool and seduce him into humiliating the Qian Family. That must be the truth. The poor little dog was awkward in performing the fighting technique, which must be the result of a lack of practice.
However... Qian Chenfeng forced a sneer from the corners of his lips. It was obvious that Qian Jin had been secretly wounded severely from this fight and might not be fully recovered with the help of a single advanced pharmacist. If he failed to heal himself in a comparatively short time, dormant threats to his health would be left and his entire life might prove a waste then.
To hunt for a sufficient amount of advanced pharmacists? Qian Chenfeng crossed his arms over his chest, telling himself that even the most experienced pharmacists might not be able to cure him. To be a warrior hinted at backbreaking struggle during which if the bones, the energy connections or the warrior reservoirs got hurt, it would be hard to return them to the original state, and thus the cultivation path ahead would be cut off.
What if the hidden wounds were cleared away? Qian Chenfeng put on a gloating smile. It became obvious to him that Qian Jin had borrowed a lot from the special fighting techniques of the Pam Family at the cost of his health to improve his combat abilities in a short time. "What a pity." Qian Chenfeng talked to himself, as he knew he couldn't take possession of this unique fighting technique.
Qian Jin closely clenched his right fist as he gazed at the aftermath that of him nearly using Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes just now. If he did so in the face of so many, the outcomes would be hard to predict… he wondered if the Qian Family had already incubated the idea of plundering his Innumerable Shadows. It was lucky to have Uncle Pam by his side… or else…
"Ally?" As all kinds of guesses flooded in Qian Zhanxuan, he cast an inquisitive look at Pam Honzi. This guy had been complaining about the support of resources from the royal family on the three ultimate bloodline warrior families. So was he sponsoring Qian Jin to injure the Qian Family?
"Respected Snake Emperor…" Qian Zhanxuan took out his hands to stop Qian Wushan from moving forward, "What do you mean by this?"
"Brother Zhanxuan, what do you consider it to be?" Pam Honzi raised his head up with a smile, covering up Qian Jin behind him as this young boy was of infinite use to him. Previously he thought this young bloke excelled only at pharmacy, mystic pharmacy and forging, but now it hit upon him that he also possessed a miraculous movement technique.
To plunder such treasures? Pam Honzi smiled even more when remembering that Qian Jin was a man of integrity and generosity. As Duren Burg was a close friend to his, he might very likely pass on this amazing fighting technique to Duren. And if Duren came back to the Pam Family in the future, this fighting technique would be taken and reserved in their library. To plunder it? In your dreams.
"I was shocked that my little ally was attacked surreptitiously during the duel." Pam Honzi took out his hands to prop up Qian Jin. "If I'm not mistaken, my little ally was asked by you to partake in one fight? But now he has been called for two fights."
Qian Zhanxuan's face darkened all of a sudden. If he heard such words from some other people, he would directly punch that person into death. But unluckily, the one who challenged him was the honorable Snake Emperor, who was hard to deal with. To knock him down, Qian Zhanxuan himself had to pay a huge price.
"You have misunderstood me, dear Snake Emperor." Qian Wushan said in a slow but lofty voice. "Over Qian Chenyu's breach of the family provisions in unleashing a fight toward Qian Jin without prior consent, the Qian Family reserves the sole right to dispose of him which shouldn't bother you, respectable Snake Emperor. Our family leader just hoped to overview Qian Jin's wounds in order to invite the advanced in-house pharmacist to try curing him…"
"Where are the senior members of the Qian Family? Do you think yourself qualified to talk to me?" Pam Honzi twisted his eyebrows and looked at Qian Wushan coldly. "Who do you think you are? Why do you intervene in my conversation with Qian Zhanxuan? Are you qualified to speak with me?"
A flush appeared on Qian Wushan's delicate lofty face. For the past several years, he had been treated with kindness and courtesy and no one including the family leader had ever talked to him like this. Never for a minute had he suffered such an insult.
"Are you feeling wronged?" Pam Honzi stretched his shoulders. "Kid, do you want to imitate Qian Jin in fighting against a senior?"
Qian Wushan shivered, longing for back out. Being the top ingenious warrior in the Qian Family, it went beyond him to suffer an instigation from others, even including the Snake Emperor.
"Wushan, why don't you extend your thanks to the honorable Snake Emperor for teaching you the etiquettes? Will you, the noble Elf-king Bloodline Warrior, behave as uncouth as the good-for-nothing guy who even hadn't awakened the bloodline warrior power?" Qian Zhanxuan laid his palms on Qian Wushan's shoulder firmly, while looking to Pam Honzi with a sneer.
To challenge the Snake Emperor? Qian Zhanxuan held onto Qian Wushan's shoulder firmly. He knew deeply that the Snake Emperor wasn't benevolent with the younger generation. If Qian Wushan recklessly fought against him, Pam Honzi might impose a direct death on him. Talented as Qian Wushan might be, facing one of the top warriors of the times… it was hard for him to save his life, let alone losing to him.
Gradually, the anger Qian Wushan died down, however, the lofty look on his face got further intensified. Only the strong warriors were worthy of the vigilance and desires for swiping off slip from the senior generations.
"Distinguished Snake Emperor, I will challenge you in four years. Not today." Qian Wushan looked at Pam Honzi coldly. "I will pay back all the insults you imposed on me today by that time. And I will reach the ultimate awakening over this period of time."
Qian Zhanxuan smiled out of contentedness with the confident outlook of Qian Wushan, the top genius in the Qian Family. If he could reach the ultimate bloodline power awakening, he would smash the existing record kept in their family regarding the amount of time the family members took to reach the ultimate level. Pam Honzi, you were wrong this time.
"Dear Snake Emperor," Qian Zhanxuan smiled, "Wushuang was admittedly a little rude in his wording just now, but he actually had got the point. Upon Qian Chenyu's arbitrariness in fighting with Qian Jin, which breaks our family provisions, I will give him a proper punishment. I just wanted to have a look at Qian Jin's wounds so as to invite a trustworthy pharmacist to treat him…"
"Not that necessary." Pam Honzi lifted his hands to stop Qian Wushan, "I'm afraid you will try to poison him, though the effects of the toxins might be expressed slowly."
"Hehe…"Qian Zhanxuan's face got even darker. It didn't really matter if Qian Wutian lost the fight and he wouldn't give a shit about Qian Chenyu's unapproved fight. But the defeat of Qian Chenyu in the face of Qian Zhanxuan had posed a stigma for him, by which Pam Honzi could mock the Qian Family.
To lose? It didn't matter as the Qian Family could afford the price. As one of the three ultimate bloodline warrior families of the Zence Empire, the Qian Family would rejoice merely in Qian Wushan or Qian Wutian's success in reaching the ultimate awakening. Besides this, all other things were just secondary. By contrast, Qian Jin, someone who sponged off the secret cultivation technique of the Pam Family without having reached the bloodline awakening, would just go down as time passed.
"We noble Qian Family poisons others?" Qian Zhanxuan put on a proud look on his sullen face. "The poor little Qian Jin has just defeated several good-for-nothings of the Qian Family. Qian Chenyu? He will be a loser when he faces the leader of the Fanta Family. He is not qualified enough to represent the strength of our Qian Family."
"Now that your Family is proficient in making despicable sneak attacks, what else are you afraid of doing?" Pam Honzi screwed his lips scornfully. Well, there were few people in this world who dared defy Qian Zhanxuan.
Yet the Snake Emperor Pam Honzi was the one qualified enough to defy him.
Qian Zhanxuan's face once again got darker, as the Snake Emperor was invariably rude in his manner of speaking. Yet justice went with him. If he punished Qian Chenyu in the presence of Pam Honzi, the rumor would go that he, the leader of the Qian Family, was an underdog and apple-polisher of the Snake Emperor.
Had the leader of the Qian Family ever acted upon the willingness of other people or obeyed by the orders given by others? No one apart from the royal family members had the right to order the Qian Family to do things for them.
A faint look of appreciation appeared on Pam Honzi's provocative face. Though the cultivation of warrior soul power was difficult for the ordinary warriors, there were from time to time people who succeeded in condensing the soul power. And thus those who achieved the level of Soul-Power Warrior would become stronger than Qian Chenyu who only possessed a warrior heart so far.
However…the appreciative look of Pam Honzi changed into a sneer all of a sudden. How old was the leader of the Fanta Family? Then how old was Qian Jin? Was there any comparability between these two? If he didn't know that Qian Jin was biologically a member of the Qian Family, Pam Honzi would see him as a bloodline warrior who had awakened the bloodline power yet hadn't been exposed to the outsiders.
