Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Son of the Great General

Qin You, a young man with a mysterious background, was so significant that even Wang the Fifth, the Sect Leader, did not know his origins. Yet that didn’t mean Wang the Fifth paid him no attention. At a young age, Qin You had already stepped into the One-star Martial Emperor Realm. Not only that, Qin You had a calm demeanor, prompting Wang the Fifth to once instruct other elders in the sect to fully support the cultivation of such a genius youth.

He was also a candidate for the future roles of elder and hall master in the Great Saber Sect.

Hearing that Qin You requested to fight, Wang the Fifth coldly glanced at Shi Feng and asked Qin You, "Are you confident?" Regarding Qin You’s strength, talent, and the Martial Arts and Martial Skill he practiced, Wang the Fifth harbored no doubts. However, facing that young man, Wang the Fifth still felt uneasy and thought it better to send more martial artists to attack together and kill him.

"Sect Leader, please give me a chance!" Qin You said resolutely.

Wang the Fifth gradually perceived Qin You’s intentions; the youth wanted to make a name for himself in one battle!

Shi Feng, after all, was the one who had killed Ruo Feifan. If Qin You could defeat Shi Feng, kill Shi Feng, then he would be the one who had slain the slayer of Ruo Feifan. If this spread, throughout the realm of the Heavenly Mist Empire, his reputation would certainly resonate massively, shocking the entire nation.

Wang the Fifth nodded to Qin You and said in a deep voice, "Be careful. If you find yourself outmatched, retreat immediately, and I will personally lead everyone to kill him!"

"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Qin You said solemnly, nodding at Wang the Fifth, then turned around and slowly walked towards Shi Feng.

By then, Wang the Fifth had already ordered a disciple of the Great Saber Sect to use a secret technique with the Jade Scroll to record the battle between Qin You and Shi Feng. Without the recording, even if Qin You killed Shi Feng, it wouldn’t help his propaganda, keeping the people of the Heavenly Mist Empire unaware of Qin You’s deed.

If Qin You were defeated, then they would simply crush the Jade Scroll that recorded the fight.

Qin You slowly approached Shi Feng, his expression serious, and said in a heavy tone, "Great Saber Sect, Qin You!"

"Do ants like you also deserve to battle me? Don’t waste my time. All of you, come at once," Shi Feng said nonchalantly, ignoring Qin You and looking towards the members of the Great Saber Sect.

"You!" Seeing Shi Feng disregard him, Qin You’s face immediately twisted in fury as he shouted, "Although I lack your fortune, my Martial Arts Talent is absolutely no less than yours! To so disregard me, today, you will pay the price for your arrogance."

As he spoke, Qin You leaped high, charging towards Shi Feng. The great saber in his hand flashed a dazzling golden light, launching a full-powered strike at Shi Feng, aiming to split him into two under this fierce slash, turning Shi Feng into a ghost under his blade.

Before Qin You’s Golden Saber arrived, a golden Sword Shadow completely enveloped Shi Feng from above.

Meanwhile, Shi Feng slowly lifted his head, still looking serene as he watched the golden Sword Shadow slashing down towards him. He moved his right hand, formed the Sword Finger, and then pointed into the void.

"Bang!" A soft sound occurred under Shi Feng’s finger, and the golden Sword Shadow engulfing him immediately dispersed. At this moment, everyone, including Cui Jian and even Princess Zi Yun with her usually cold demeanor, showed signs of shock.

At that instant, Wang the Fifth yelled loudly, "Qin You, retreat fast!" Not only Wang the Fifth, but most of the spectators who recognized Qin You and were relatively familiar with his Combat Techniques from being around him so long knew that the strongest killing blow was that crashing golden Sword Shadow, while the subsequent slash of the Golden Saber was merely a supplementary attack.

Even Qin You himself, at that moment, was filled with shock and horror. He acknowledged Shi Feng’s strength, knew that such a genius’s Battle Power couldn’t be compared to an ordinary martial artist, yet he wasn’t an ordinary martial artist either! He was a genius too, but he hadn’t had great fortune yet!

"Crack!" Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out. The spectators saw that after Shi Feng extinguished the golden Sword Shadow with a finger point, Shi Feng’s figure hadn’t moved at all. However, the Golden Saber in Qin You’s hand suddenly split into two. This shocked Qin You even more. In the presence of this person, was he really so inadequate? How exactly the Golden Saber had broken, even Qin You, the involved party, couldn’t see clearly.

Meanwhile, as the golden Sword Shadow was broken and upon hearing Wang the Fifth’s loud yell, Qin You’s descending figure suddenly jolted backward in mid-air. But Qin You saw that the Sword Finger formed by Shi Feng was already directed at him.

"No, no, no! You can’t kill me! My father is the Great General Qin Shihu of the Heavenly Mist Empire. If you kill me, my father will never let you go!" As Shi Feng’s Sword Finger aimed at him, Qin You hurriedly declared his origin and identity. Indeed, he was the son of the Heavenly Mist Empire’s Great General, Qin Shihu, but he had never revealed this identity to anyone, not because he didn’t want to, but because he couldn’t. He was Qin Shihu’s illegitimate child, born to Qin Shihu and a singer. Qin You’s existence was actually a disgrace to the Qin Family; each time the Qin Family members saw him, they only arranged trusted servants to meet him.

The Martial Arts and saber techniques Qin You practiced were indeed the Qin Family’s Cultivation Technique and saber technique, but they were only taught to him by an old servant of the Qin Family. From childhood, he had only seen his biological father twice.

Hence, Qin You yearned to make a name, to make the members of the Qin Family recognize him, to cause a sensation throughout the Heavenly Mist Empire. He had a chance to kill the one who had slain the genius ranked third on the genius battle list, Ruo Feifan, and if he could kill him, then Qin You could become famous throughout the Heavenly Mist Empire.

But now, Qin You faced Shi Feng’s Sword Finger, and facing this Sword Finger was like facing a ferocious tiger, a tiger that was about to tear him apart as a profound sense of imminent death overwhelmed him.

When Qin You disclosed his identity, everyone from the Great Saber Sect was shocked. Qin You, the typically silent and reticent youth they interacted with, actually held such a revered identity—he was indeed the son of the Great General of the Heavenly Mist Empire, Qin Shihu. This revelation overshadowed their concern for Qin You’s safety.

But then, while the people were still processing this information, they saw Shi Feng’s Sword Finger casually and indifferently swipe downward, and suddenly, a chilling white line appeared across the middle of Qin You’s body. Then, Qin You’s entire body was sliced into two halves by that chilling white line, separating to either side and spilling bright red blood onto the ground with "[thud! thud!]" sounds. A fifteen-year-old genius in the One-star Martial Emperor Realm tragically became two blood-dripping halves lying on the ground.
