44: Chapter 44 Doesn't your Fire Cloud Kingdom's court bear any responsibility at all?

[ The colorless martial art Wind-Treading Step that you have mastered is a lower-tier martial art of the white martial art Wind-Riding Step. ]

[ Your Wind-Treading Step has been incorporated into the Wind-Riding Step martial art. ]

[ Wind-Riding Step Level 1 (0%) → Wind-Riding Step Level 2 (50%) ]

A moment later, Qin Muyuan learned the functions and key points of Wind-Riding Step from the information infused into his mind.

" The so-called Wind-Riding Step is pretty much the same as Wind-Treading Step, both falling under the category of leg techniques. "

" The difference is that executing Wind-Riding Step requires consuming more strength, while also granting a much faster speed. "

" In addition, Wind-Treading Step is only considered a martial art for traveling, while Wind-Riding Step consolidates leg techniques... which means in the future, I can kick people with my feet. "

" Furthermore... after practicing Wind-Riding Step to the Perfection Realm of the fifth level, one can even briefly tread on air and fly. "

Summarized by Qin Muyuan, it could be considered a pretty good martial arts Cultivation Technique.

While gaining the Wind-Riding Step martial art, wave after wave of majestic power surged forth from within Qin Muyuan's body.

This power brought a tyrannical vitality, rapidly repairing the injuries he had just sustained in the explosion.

Reopening the interface.

[ Rank: 6 → 8 ]

His Rank had increased, and at the same time, the golden talent buff bonus of I Love Killing had also increased to 550%!

A 550% Physical Body bonus was terrifying just to think about!

After reviewing all his gains, Qin Muyuan opened the quest interface.

[ Quest: Enemies All Over the Country ]

[ Stage Three Quest Refreshed: Head to Xiniu Prefecture city, and slay Grand Master Lin Jiuye of Baiyun Martial Arts Hall, who has already set out on the road and is preparing to kill you! ]

[ Quest Rewards: Experience +3000, Mall Points +15000, Huoyun Country Fame +MAX, White Martial Art: Killing Intent Application, White Skill: Stone ]

[ Note: This quest is divided into multiple stages. Upon completing each stage quest, you can claim the rewards for that stage and unlock the next stage quest. ]

[ Note: Once the fame value in a certain area increases to MAX, the local strongest faction will target you, and depending on their favorability toward you, they will either carry out a crackdown or offer amnesty. ]

Qin Muyuan understood it slightly.

The martial art Killing Intent Application was somewhat complementary to the previously acquired Killing Intent Perception.

The latter could perceive the enemy's Killing Intent, while the former could utilize the enemy's and one's own Killing Intent to strengthen oneself.

As for the [ Stone ] skill, it could harden one's entire body to enhance defense.

Or alternatively, heavily harden a specific part of the body to increase that part's defense.

" Not bad at all. "

Qin Muyuan nodded slightly.

He briefly glanced at the newly added note, but didn't care at all.

The strongest faction targeting him?

It didn't matter!

In Huoyun Country, the strongest faction was naturally the imperial court of Huoyun Country.

However, even if the Huoyun Country imperial court didn't target him, he was going to seek it out anyway!

The so-called...

" When autumn arrives on the eighth day of the ninth month, after my flowers bloom, all other flowers will be killed! "

" The soaring fragrance array penetrates Chang'an, the entire city is clad in golden armor! "

If he couldn't pass the exams into Chang'an, could Qin Muyuan not fight his way into Chang'an?

Although the Huoyun Country imperial court was not Chang'an, and although Qin Muyuan had not participated in the imperial examinations.

But...

When your Huoyun Country imperial court heard the name of me, Qin Muyuan, you actually didn't send an eight-bearer sedan chair to invite me to participate in the imperial examinations—does your Huoyun Country imperial court bear no responsibility at all?

" Wangcai! "

" Awooo! "

Qin Muyuan climbed onto Wangcai's wolf back and said:

" Let's go, to Xiniu Prefecture! "

Without the slightest delay, without a trace of hesitation, and without wanting to stay for even a moment.

At this moment, Qin Muyuan only wanted to find Grand Master Lin Jiuye from the quest.

Then, hack him to death alive!

Because the anger from having a piece of equipment destroyed by the explosion had not been eliminated even by killing the main culprit!

At this moment, he still had anger in his heart.

Therefore...

" Kill people to vent anger! "

Thinking of this, Qin Muyuan instructed Wangcai a few more times.

Immediately afterwards, he opened the time acceleration function and directly activated time acceleration!

Thus, with just a blink of an eye, he would be able to see that Lin Jiuye and chop him into meat paste to vent his fury!

At the highest point of the Prefecture Lord's Mansion.

Fairy Yushui watched the leaving man and beast, a look of even greater infatuation blooming on her face.

" Yes! Just like this! That's how he must be killed! "

Her expression was ecstatic, her gaze locked onto Qin Muyuan. With a tap of her toes, she continued to follow closely behind Qin Muyuan like a gust of wind.

After she circulated her cultivation method, she could see that the blood fiendish qi condensed on Qin Muyuan's body was becoming increasingly dense!

Just like fine wine hidden deep within the wine cellar, it grew even richer due to the precipitation of time.

Refreshing to the heart and spleen!

But Fairy Yushui was not in anxious haste to open this fine wine at the moment.

She still needed to nurture it further, borrowing the blood of these Mortals from Huoyun Country to nurture it for a few more days!

When the blood fiendish qi reached Major Achievement, she would be able to personally strike and harvest it, steadily securing this blood fiendish qi into her bag.

At that time, she, who possessed two wisps of Spiritual Qi, would become a true immortal path Prodigy, stepping onto the supreme path of seeking immortality and knocking on the Dao!

" Of course, I won't forget you... "

Fairy Yushui looked from afar at Qin Muyuan's face with black hair and dark eyes, smiling alluringly.

After gathering the blood fiendish qi, Fairy Yushui decided to peel off Qin Muyuan's quite handsome face and carry it on her person.

In this way, Qin Muyuan could always stay by her side, witnessing her climbing high and advancing on the path of immortality.

Being able to witness her achievements on the path of immortality, even if Qin Muyuan died, his death would be worthwhile!

The next day, the daylight brightened.

The man and the beast shuttled through the mountains and forests, gradually arriving at a prefecture city with towering walls.

Above the prefecture city gate plaque, the three characters Xiniu Prefecture were carved in flying dragon and dancing phoenix style.

Outside the prefecture city gate, an old man was waiting in line to enter the city gate, recounting the history of the Xiniu Prefecture gate plaque to his fellow townsmen:

" Let me tell you, those three characters Xiniu Prefecture on this plaque were written by Prefecture Lord Changyue one hundred and fifty years ago! Do you know Prefecture Lord Changyue? She was known as a once-in-a-century beauty—— "

Crack.

Before the old man finished speaking, he suddenly heard a crisp cracking sound.

The next second, the gate plaque inscribed with the three large characters Xiniu Prefecture suddenly broke into two sections and plummeted down from the high city gate.

With another crisp crack, the gate plaque broken into two sections smashed onto the ground and instantly shattered.

Wood chips splattered, and the three large characters Xiniu Prefecture on the plaque directly turned into Corpse Water Buffalo Lord.

This scene left the old man momentarily stunned.

The old man and his fellow townsmen turned their heads and saw a youth covered in blood, holding a bizarrely shaped long sword, standing behind the city gate.

Between his legs was an extremely massive wolf demon, similarly stained with blood all over its body.

Looking like it had been fished out of a sea of blood.

This ferocious and terrifying appearance shocked the old man's heart greatly, completely unaware of when this man and wolf had arrived behind him.

" It broke? How could this happen? "

At this time, the guards on duty at the city gate finally discovered that the gate plaque had shattered and fallen to the ground.

The guards on duty hadn't seen who did it.

But no matter what, it certainly couldn't have been done by them, the guards on duty!

Therefore, a guard on duty fiercely grabbed a plainly dressed commoner and asked with a ferocious expression:

" Was it you who did this?! "
