Shua!
Startled by Jiang Wuming’s words, and sensing no fear but only hatred on his face, Liu Qingfeng’s expression shifted drastically!
Fearing the Qin family might use Jiang Wuming as bait for a trap, Liu Qingfeng had not acted against him the night Yuan Qing was killed.
Furthermore, after Jiang Wuming returned, Liu Qingfeng had infiltrated Sujiang to observe cautiously from the shadows, rather than making a move.
Through three days of observation, Liu Qingfeng had confirmed that no Qin family powerhouses were lurking around Jiang Wuming.
To be precise, neither Qin Yuanzheng nor his son Qin Linhai were secretly protecting Jiang Wuming!
This discovery put Liu Qingfeng at ease and presented him with an excellent opportunity to strike today—the cemetery was nearly deserted, allowing him to kill Jiang Wuming unnoticed and dispose of the body in the wilderness!
As a result, just as Liu Qingfeng approached Jiang Wuming from behind, ready to strike, Jiang Wuming declared he had intentionally stayed behind to offer Liu Qingfeng’s head as a sacrifice!
This… sent tidal waves through Liu Qingfeng’s heart!
In an instant, Liu Qingfeng’s aura surged, bringing his state to its peak. He carefully sensed everything around him, finding no one within several meters besides himself and Jiang Wuming.
“You little brat, I must admit, your ‘empty city stratagem’ was quite good; it even startled me.”
Liu Qingfeng cast his gaze back to Jiang Wuming, sneering, “However, it’s a pity that a War God’s strength and capabilities are beyond your imagination!
Every rustle of grass within a hundred-meter radius escapes my senses, but I haven’t felt the presence of Qin Yuanzheng and Qin Linhai!”
“Did I say it was them who wanted your head?”
Jiang Wuming responded expressionlessly.
“Heh, without them, how do you intend to take my head? Relying on yourself?”
Liu Qingfeng sneered, looking at Jiang Wuming as if he were an idiot, “Little brat, put away your little schemes—in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies are merely paper tigers!”
As he finished speaking, Liu Qingfeng, wanting to avoid any further complications, prepared to act.
However—
The moment he moved, he froze as if a car had suddenly stalled after starting!
This was because he clearly sensed that the aura of the youth before him had changed; it was no longer that of an eight-star Martial Artist, but… a one-star War God!
“You… you’re actually a one-star War God?!”
In the dawn light, Liu Qingfeng’s eyes widened in disbelief!
According to the information he possessed, Jiang Wuming was an eight-star Martial Artist, whose combat power was at the peak of that realm, easily killing Yuan Qing.
When he received this news that night, he had been greatly shocked—an eight-star Martial Artist at twenty years old, and a top contender within that realm, was a veritable martial arts prodigy, even a prime candidate for cultivation in major top-tier martial arts sects!
And now, Jiang Wuming had transformed into a one-star War God!
This was even more shocking than seeing Su Shirong resurrect and appear at his tombstone!
After all, as the patriarch of the Liu family, he himself was merely a one-star War God!
A War God at the young age of twenty…
He suspected that even the strongest successors of the most ancient and top martial arts sects in the Dragon Country, or even globally, might not have achieved this!
“Is a one-star War God that impressive?”
Jiang Wuming, like a reawakened ancient dragon, exuded a powerful aura and a chilling killing intent, locked onto Liu Qingfeng.
“——”
Liu Qingfeng was left speechless.
Just moments ago, he had arrogantly told Jiang Wuming that he didn’t understand the strength and capabilities of a War God, mocking him for needing to rely on himself to take his head…
Yet now, Jiang Wuming was himself a one-star War God, and seemed dismissive of the title!
This made Liu Qingfeng’s face burn, as if he had been slapped soundly by Jiang Wuming!
“You’ve been hiding your strength all along! The Sujiang incident was your doing, and you killed with a single strike! Who exactly are you?”
Liu Qingfeng regained his composure, instantly guessing some of the inside story, but still gazed at Jiang Wuming in shock.
Because, even now, he was astounded that Jiang Wuming was a one-star Martial Artist!
Concurrently, he knew very well that, given Jiang Wuming’s age, becoming a one-star War God meant he must be the strongest successor of a super martial arts sect!
“How did you kill my father, Su Shirong?”
Jiang Wuming’s aura ascended to its peak, and he asked coldly.
Huh?
Startled by Jiang Wuming’s question, Liu Qingfeng first paused, then his eyes flickered with brilliance.
“Everyone thought you were caught up in the Sujiang incident by chance and saved the Su family, but you were actually prepared!
You always knew there was something suspicious about your father Su Shirong’s death!
You planned everything from behind the scenes to avenge him, targeting both the Su and Liu families for retaliation!
During this process, you used a special secret technique to hide your true strength, deceiving everyone, and only revealing your real power now!”
Liu Qingfeng answered his own question, deducing everything from Jiang Wuming’s words.
“Tell me the inside story of my father’s death, and I can make your death easier.”
Jiang Wuming said coldly, having secretly activated his micro-camera, its lens pointed at Liu Qingfeng, capable of recording his every move.
“At such a young age, you not only possess unparalleled martial arts talent but also such exceptional strategic planning ability; you are truly a chosen one!
But you are still too young, or rather, you have the common flaw of youth—overconfidence and arrogance!
I know you must come from some ancient and powerful martial arts sect.
If you intend to use your backing to avenge your father, whether against the Yuan family or the Liu family, it’s possible, but wanting to do it alone is pure delusion!
One-star Martial Artists are also graded by strength!
You will pay the price for your arrogance, and I will learn all the martial arts secret techniques you possess from your mouth!”
By the end of his statement, Liu Qingfeng’s shock gradually faded, replaced by malevolence and excitement!
Aside from avenging Liu Yidao and fulfilling his agreement with Yuan Zeping, now that he knew Jiang Wuming had a powerful force behind him, he wouldn’t let Jiang Wuming live, as it would spell disaster for the Liu family!
Moreover, he was confident that in addition to the mysterious technique for concealing his aura, Jiang Wuming must possess other powerful and ancient martial arts skills!
If he could obtain and learn these martial arts techniques from Jiang Wuming, his own martial prowess would undoubtedly increase, allowing him to become a two-star War God or even stronger, without question!
Furthermore, the Liu family could use the techniques obtained from Jiang Wuming to bide their time, develop in secret, and eventually become one of the most powerful martial arts forces in the Dragon Country!
As the thought excited him, Liu Qingfeng couldn’t hide his smile; it felt as though Jiang Wuming was a great opportunity sent by heaven to him and the Liu family!
Keng!
Despite his excitement, Liu Qingfeng did not get carried away and directly drew the saber at his waist.
As the patriarch of the Liu family, the saber he carried was an ancestral heirloom, crafted by a renowned ancient blacksmith. It was incredibly sharp, had tasted blood countless times, and was a true killer weapon, exuding an ominous aura.
“Kid, don’t struggle, and don’t even dream of escaping…”
With the precious saber in hand, Liu Qingfeng’s killing intent surged, as if a god of slaughter had descended.
“Noisy!”
The next moment.
Before Liu Qingfeng could finish his words, Jiang Wuming coldly interrupted.
As his voice fell, his figure moved.
Jiang Wuming flashed forward, charging directly at Liu Qingfeng, who held the killer saber!
