93: Chapter 93 Yang Liu: I'm sorry, I gave you the wrong medicine…

"Explanation? I'll give you a clear explanation right now."

Steward Wang Taian was furious. He had never intended to let Qin Feng go, and in an instant, the other's extremely arrogant words completely ignited his murderous intent.

"Boom!!!"

A violent burst of True Essence belonging to Qi Refining Stage 3 erupted from Steward Wang Taian's body.

The waves of Qi surged, turning into a tangible, earth-yellow storm that raged wildly within the enclosed Management Hall.

"You little beast, you still dare to put on airs in front of this Steward when you're about to die!"

Steward Wang Taian bellowed, his eyes blood-red, as he violently heaved his thick arms upward.

"Crack! Bang!"

The heavy round table in front of him, covered in delicacies and carved from a single piece of golden nanmu wood, was instantly shattered like paper under the infusion of his terrifying True Essence!

Wood chips, broken porcelain plates, and boiling soup flew everywhere, accompanied by a sharp, piercing whistle as they shot toward Qin Feng like a rain of metal hidden weapons.

Under the cover of the flying debris, Steward Wang Taian's massive body moved with terrifying speed, completely inconsistent with his size. Like a fierce tiger descending from the mountain, he threw a punch at Qin Feng's face, his right fist wrapped in earth-yellow Protective Aura capable of splitting stones and breaking monuments!

This punch was heavy and powerful, causing the very air to be compressed and emit a shrill sonic boom.

Facing this unstoppable, lethal strike, Qin Feng remained seated, a calm, indifferent sneer still hanging on his lips, without even a ripple of panic in his deep, black eyes.

"Swish!"

At the critical moment, he activated the Ghost Wind-Stepping.

Without a hint of hesitation, Qin Feng's figure flickered eerily from the chair. He seemed to merge into the Void Realm like a ghost, with even the trajectory of his True Essence fluctuations completely erased.

"Boom!!!"

Steward Wang Taian's iron fist, capable of collapsing a city wall, smashed heavily onto the master's chair where Qin Feng had just been sitting.

The sturdy master's chair, along with the bluestone floor tiles beneath it, was instantly blasted into a huge pit a foot deep, with gravel shooting in all directions like cannonballs.

However, this punch had only shattered a realistic afterimage.

"What?!"

Steward Wang Taian's pupils constricted violently as his attack missed.

He never expected that a mere Menial Laborer at Qi Refining Level 1 could easily dodge his long-prepared attack right under his nose using nothing but movement techniques.

"You little beast, how dare you be so arrogant. Inside the 'Earth Spirit Sealing Formation,' let's see where you can hide!"

Steward Wang Taian roared in anger and spun around, staring fixedly like a venomous snake locking onto its prey at Qin Feng, who had retreated three zhang away and stood with his hands behind his back.

"Am I arrogant!?"

Qin Feng gently brushed a speck of dust from his cuff, his eyes filled with condescending mockery as he sneered: "You've set up a dragnet to take my life; did you expect me to just stand there obediently, listening to you, and stretch out my neck for you to chop off!?"

"Steward Wang, I admit that your cultivation at Qi Refining Stage 3 is indeed decent, and you're considered someone in the Servant District, but your brain... is really not quite enough."

"You bastard, sharp-tongued brat! Today, I will crush every bone in your body inch by inch and pull out your tongue!"

Being humiliated to his face by a subordinate, Steward Wang Taian felt the rage in his chest rush straight to his head, his sanity completely ignited.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

He held nothing back. His thick True Essence of Qi Refining Stage 3 poured out without reservation, turning into a sky full of fierce, unstoppable fist shadows, raining down like a violent meteor shower!

"Well come."

Qin Feng sneered. This time, not only did he not retreat a single step, but from the depths of his profound eyes, a tangible purple-gold Battle Intent erupted!

The Chaos Art spun crazily...

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang..."

Inside the hall, both sides instantly turned into two afterimages, colliding fiercely.

There were no fancy probes, only the purest, most primitive violent bombardment!

Fist winds surged, and waves of Qi rolled!

Every collision of fists and feet emitted a muffled, thunderous sound like a great bell.

The terrifying shockwaves constantly slammed against the light screen of the 'Earth Spirit Sealing Formation' around the hall, stirring up circle after circle of violent earth-yellow ripples.

If not for the protection of the Tier 2 Formation, the entire Management Hall would have long since been reduced to ruins in such a violent clash.

At the edge of the hall, Yang Liu, who had been watching coldly, had already retreated to the absolute blind spot of the Formation.

In her long, narrow peach-blossom eyes, there flickered unconcealable shock and amazement.

'How is this possible... Qin Feng has only just stepped into Qi Refining Level 1!'

Yang Liu clutched her heaving chest tightly, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

Not only was Yang Liu shocked, but Steward Wang Taian, currently deep in the vortex of the battle, was becoming increasingly alarmed and found it more and more unbelievable the longer they fought.

In his perception, every punch he threw clearly landed solidly on Qin Feng's blocks.

Yet the opponent's arms were practically forged from ten-thousand-year black ice, hard to an outrageous degree.

The rebounding force made even his own finger bones ache faintly.

'What on earth is going on with this brat's physical body?! I cannot drag this out any longer; delay brings change!'

A vicious, poisonous light flashed in Steward Wang Taian's eyes. He bit his tongue tip and spat a mouthful of essence blood directly onto his fists!

"Mountain-Crushing Seal!"

Accompanied by a thunderous roar, Steward Wang Taian's fists instantly expanded in size. Thick, earth-yellow True Essence condensed on his fist tips into a heavy, tangible mountain seal, which smashed toward Qin Feng's chest with the terrifying pressure of a landslide, capable of crushing everything!

Facing the full-force outburst of Qi Refining Stage 3, Qin Feng narrowed his eyes. He did not choose to resist head-on, but instead used force to deflect force, crossing his arms to protect his chest.

"Boom!!!"

A deafening explosion rang out.

The violent force poured down. Qin Feng felt a slight numbness in his arms, and his entire body was naturally forced back seven or eight steps by the punch.

With every step back, the bluestone tiles beneath his feet cracked like spiderwebs, leaving deep footprints.

After several rounds of clashes, Qin Feng was finally "forced back," seemingly falling into a disadvantage.

"Hahaha! You little beast, so what if your combat power is strong? In the face of an absolute gap in Realm, you are nothing more than a slightly stronger ant!"

Having forced Qin Feng back with one punch, Steward Wang Taian's confidence surged, and that cruel, sinister smile of someone in control of the whole situation reappeared on his face.

"Now, let this Steward end your pathetic life once and for all."

Steward Wang Taian laughed loudly, exerted force under his feet, and his vigorous True Essence operated crazily in his Dantian, preparing to press the attack and twist off Qin Feng's head in one go!

However, just at the moment he took half a step and pushed his True Essence to the limit!

A sudden change occurred!

"Pfft!"

Steward Wang Taian's massive body stiffened suddenly, as if struck by invisible lightning.

He only felt a heart-piercing, stabbing pain suddenly emanate from his Dantian Qi Sea, as if ten thousand steel needles had pierced into it simultaneously!

"Urgh... Ah!"

Following that, his internal organs felt as if they had been doused with a basin of boiling lava, and a violent burning and corrosive sensation instantly swept through his entire body.

A mouthful of foul-smelling black blood, impossible to suppress, spewed directly from Steward Wang Taian's mouth, dyeing the luxurious brocade robe on his chest pitch black!

"This... what is going on?!"

Steward Wang Taian widened his eyes in sheer horror, clutching his agonizing abdomen tightly. His legs went weak, and he actually fell to his knees with a "thud."

Feeling the vitality and True Essence rapidly dissipating within his body, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his mind going completely blank.

"qi-dissolving powder? No... this isn't qi-dissolving powder! qi-dissolving powder only disperses True Essence; it would never corrode Meridians! And... and I clearly took the antidote beforehand!"

Thoughts flashed through his mind rapidly. Steward Wang Taian roared in terror and spun his head, his bloodshot eyes staring fixedly at Yang Liu, who was standing in the distance.

"Hehehe... giggle giggle..."

Yang Liu, who had originally been timidly hiding in the corner, now walked out slowly.

She elegantly tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear, her flame-red lips curling into a hair-raising, seductive, cold sneer.

"Master, why must you do this?"

Yang Liu walked with a cat-like grace to the center of the hall, looking down condescendingly at the struggling Steward Wang Taian. Her voice was so delicate it seemed to drip with water, yet every word she spoke pierced the heart: "There's nothing to be surprised about. It's just that when I gave you that antidote earlier, my hand shook, and I accidentally... picked up the Ten Absolutes Gut-Severing Poison instead."
