C6 At the Moment of Life and Death
Boom!
Qin Ming's entire body resonated with the sound. His flesh and blood were boiling, and his body was burning like a raging fire. He felt a sense of satisfaction, and it made him feel extremely comfortable.
"Very good! After absorbing the Spirit Origin Stone, the Cultivation Level actually broke through four steps. Looks like this Heavenly Martial Divine Jade really is extraordinary." Qin Ming's closed eyes revealed a trace of a smile. This trip to the True Martial Pavilion... Although the low grade spirit source stones were not worthy of his attention, it was still a great harvest. But at this moment, he had no choice but to face reality.
He was no longer the four great Dao Sovereign whom others looked up to. He was now a person who had started from scratch. He had to start from scratch and step onto the path of the strong once again.
After calming his mind, Qin Ming slowly stood up with a smile on his face. He looked around and shook his head and sighed. "These are all low level martial skills. They are not as sharp and practical as the Rushing Thunder Fist in my hand."
After sizing up the first floor of the True Martial Pavilion for a long time, Qin Ming wanted to step into the second floor. However, when he thought of the old man guarding the pavilion, he could not help but give up on this idea.
After walking out of the pavilion, the old man sat on the side and actually didn't pay any attention to Qin Ming. It seemed that the movement he made just now hadn't been noticed by this old man.
"Pretending to be mysterious!" Qin Ming looked at the old man with his eyes closed. He was quite curious about this man. He was obviously secretly monitoring him, yet he pretended to be ignorant. This was obviously done on purpose.
After a moment of silence, Qin Ming looked away. He had a strange smile on his face. When he thought about how Qin Yu was waiting for him outside, he rubbed his hands together. This time, the breakthrough of the Cultivation Level had given him more confidence to fight Qin Yu.
However, after Qin Ming walked out of the True Martial Pavilion, he saw nothing outside. It wasn't what he had imagined. "That Qin Yu actually dared to lie to me?"
"There's no need to search anymore!" Just as Qin Ming was searching for traces of his clansmen, the voice of the old man suddenly came from behind him.
Upon hearing the old man's words, Qin Ming hurriedly turned around and looked at the old man with a strange expression. He asked, "Does the pavilion elder know the reason behind this?"
The old man with his eyes closed heard Qin Ming's question. He suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and walked to Qin Ming. He said, "The family suddenly convened a meeting. Qin Yu and those little bastards have already rushed to Martial Arts Practice Field. Just now, because your Cultivation Level is breaking through, I was afraid I would disturb you. So I didn't wake you up. "
"What?! Family meeting!" Qin Ming's expression changed, and he thought to himself, "Grandfather doesn't seem to be in the family today. Who is the one holding the family meeting?"
"Pavilion Elder, do you know why this family meeting will suddenly be held?" Qin Ming's heart was filled with doubt, and he faintly had a bad premonition.
"Haha!" When the old man heard Qin Ming's question, a strange smile suddenly emerged on his face. His eyes narrowed into slits, and he said in a strange tone, "If you want to know why, why don't you go and take a look yourself?"
Qin Ming's expression froze, and he thought to himself, "This old thing, there's something hidden in his words. He clearly knows the secret behind it, yet he dares to put on airs with me!"
"Since that's the case, then this junior won't disturb you from your rest, Pavilion Elder." Qin Ming's face was expressionless. He immediately bowed and cupped his fists. Then, he turned around and quickly walked towards the direction of Martial Arts Practice Field.
"Hao Tian, oh Hao Tian, you have to come back in time." The old man who stood in front of the True Martial Pavilion furrowed his brows. He looked at Qin Ming's back with a strange expression and waited for him to leave the True Martial Pavilion. After disappearing from the courtyard, the old man turned around and disappeared into the True Martial Pavilion.
...
Martial Arts Practice Field of Qin Clan.
Everyone from the family had come out in full force. The four great elders of the Qin Clan were sent out to take charge of the Martial Arts Practice Field. The purpose of this family meeting was extraordinary. The one who called for this meeting was Qin Yu's grandfather, Qin Yuanchen.
"Have you heard about it? This family meeting was held precisely because the patriarch wasn't present!"
"It's not just that. I heard that Second Master Qin Yuanchen and Third Master Qin Yuanhu are going to take advantage of this family gathering. Cripple the patriarch, Qin Haotian, and chase that useless Qin Ming out of the Qin Clan! " The surrounding people of Martial Arts Practice Field were discussing animatedly. They were all whispering to each other. There was a commotion. It was a huge commotion.
"Look! That trash Qin Ming has actually appeared!" Just as the crowd was discussing amongst themselves, someone suddenly shouted out loudly, as if they were afraid that no one would know that Qin Ming had come.
Qin Yu, who was standing in the crowd, had an ugly expression on his face. At this moment, he had already known about the matter of his younger brother, Qin Yuan. The fury in his heart was like a dormant volcano, waiting for the opportunity to erupt.
"Have you all heard that this Qin Ming has been behaving abnormally these past few days?" The people surrounding Qin Yu looked at Qin Ming with suspicion and whispered to him.
"It's not just that. I don't know what kind of stimulation this trash has received. He actually injured Qin Yuan, Qin Feng, and the others, totally not putting Qin Yu in his eyes!" Everyone was whispering amongst themselves, as if they were afraid that Qin Yu would hear them. However, how could Qin Yu not know? At such a close distance, even a deaf person would be able to hear them clearly.
When everyone saw Qin Ming approaching, they all shut their mouths and kept silent. They looked at Qin Ming with terrified expressions, as if they were afraid that they would offend this malefic.
"Stop right there!" Just as everyone was trying to avoid looking at Qin Ming, Qin Yu suddenly stepped forward from the crowd. With a fierce expression, he glared at Qin Ming and said in a deep voice, "Did you beat my brother?"
Qin Ming stopped and frowned at Qin Yu. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. After such a long time, Qin Yu finally found out that Qin Yuan was seriously injured by him.
"It's me. Why do you want to take revenge for your brother?" The corner of Qin Ming's mouth curled up and revealed a cold smile. He glanced at the surrounding people and nodded slightly to admit it.
"You... are courting death!" Hearing Qin Ming's reply, Qin Yu instantly became angry. His face turned red, and blood flowed out of his eyes. Both of his hands were tightly clenched, and he wished he could teach Qin Ming a lesson.
"Hmph! If you want to avenge your brother, I'll be waiting for you at any time. However, if you are a coward... Remember to walk around when you see me in the future! " Qin Ming showed disdain on his face when he saw Qin Yu's thick neck and red face. He felt that it was ridiculous in his heart. Such a shameless guy... He actually knew how to care about his face.
"Why is this Qin Ming so arrogant?" The surrounding people looked at Qin Ming with astonishment. Qin Ming's words were so arrogant and arrogant. On the contrary, it made the insufferably arrogant Qin Yu speechless. It also made them feel that something was not right. "I think this Qin Ming is just putting on an act. He is holding the family meeting today. This is why he is so arrogant. "
Qin Yu's face turned red. He lowered his head and glanced at the surrounding crowd. When he heard the discussions of the crowd, Qin Yu could not make up his mind. The Qin Ming in front of him was indeed different from the past. There was no sign of weakness in him.
"Everyone, quiet down!" While the crowd was in an uproar, Qin Yuanchen, who was already standing in the Martial Arts Practice Field, suddenly shouted. After that, everyone turned to look in the direction of the Martial Arts Practice Field.
Qin Ming and Qin Yu exchanged a glance with each other. Each of them had a cold expression on their faces. However, no one dared to speak anymore. They just looked in the direction of Martial Arts Practice Field. They saw a tall and powerful middle-aged man, who was only forty to fifty years old, appear in Qin Ming's eyes.
"Qin Yuanchen?" Qin Ming was surprised. Qin Yuanchen was a shrewd man, and he had been spying on the patriarch for a long time. The elders of the family had the same nose as Qin Yuanchen, and they were always targeting the two of them.
"Where is Qin Ming?" After everyone had calmed down, Qin Yuanchen, who was standing in the middle of Martial Arts Practice Field, suddenly shouted and called Qin Ming's name.
Qin Ming, who was standing in the crowd, had a gloomy expression on his face. Qin Ming glared at Qin Yu, who didn't seem amused at all. Then, he ignored the strange gazes of the crowd. Qin Ming passed through the crowd and arrived at the center of Martial Arts Practice Field. He bowed and cupped his fists at Qin Yuanchen, then said, "Qin Ming greets Second Master."
When Qin Yuanchen saw Qin Ming, his brows knitted tightly. He looked at Qin Ming with disdain and disgust and said, "Qin Yuan was seriously injured and bedridden, and became a cripple. Was it you who did it?"
Qin Ming was shocked! He thought, "This old thing actually questioned me the moment he appeared. Is he treating me as a criminal?"
"It's me!" Qin Ming and Qin Yuanchen looked at each other and nodded without any change in expression. He didn't believe that this old man would dare to attack him in front of everyone.
"Very good!" When Qin Yuanchen heard Qin Ming's reply, he revealed a strange smile and nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he asked again, "Did you beat up Qin Yu and Qin Feng?"
"Yes! Second Master, why don't you just say what you want to say? " Qin Ming's expression was somewhat gloomy, and he seemed to be slightly impatient.
"Hmph! You looked down on the rules of the clan and severely injured your clansmen. You attacked your clansmen viciously and punished them with three crimes at the same time. I ought to cripple your Cultivation Level and chase you out of the Qin Clan. Do you have any complaints? " When Qin Yuanchen saw Qin Ming's response, his expression turned ugly, and he let out a cold snort. He loudly berated Qin Ming, as if he was afraid that no one would hear him.
"Chase him out of the family!"
"Yes! Such a person can't just stay in the Qin Clan. He will bring shame to the reputation of the Qin Clan!"
Qin Yu, who was in the crowd, heard everything his grandfather said. He shouted out loudly, causing the family members to agree with him, causing them to feel indignant.
Qin Ming's facial expression turned ugly. Today's family meeting was against him on purpose. This had allowed him to clearly see the corner of these people's mouths.
"What right do you have to punish me for my crimes? You are disrespectful to your elders, looking down on the family's notarization, and slandering me in the first place. After inciting the anger of the family, you dare to mislead the public and humiliate your name in the family!" Qin Ming remained calm and did not lose to the situation in front of him. Instead, he looked at Qin Yuanchen with a cold smile on his face. He reprimanded him loudly.
"You... you junior, how dare you disrespect your elders? Let me teach you a lesson on behalf of your grandfather!" When Qin Yuanchen heard him, his expression turned ugly. In front of a large crowd, he had actually been humiliated by a junior in front of so many people. How could he fall into a state of calm? He stretched out his right hand and extended his five fingers, aiming at Qin Ming's right cheek!
Qin Ming's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly took a few steps back and smoothly dodged. However, just as Qin Ming thought that everything would be fine, the palm that was swung at him turned into a fist shadow and rushed towards Qin Ming's face!
Qin Ming revealed a frightened expression. Qin Yuanchen's punch was too shocking, and his Cultivation Level was unfathomable. The speed at which he used it was not something he could see clearly.
Just as Qin Ming had no way to retreat and was about to activate the Primordial Spirit to attack Qin Yuanchen, he suddenly saw a shadow flash in front of him, and then he heard a loud explosive sound!
"Boom!"
"Ah...! '" With a wail, Qin Yuanchen was sent flying away while vomiting blood. After that, he blocked Qin Ming's path with his mighty body.
