CHAPTER 334: CHAPTER 334 HOLY WATER_1

"Subduing Tiger Battle Fist!"

The Guard Commander waved his hands, and Battle Intent surged like a flood, flowing upstream. A giant fist materialized in an instant, emanating a shocking aura as it barreled towards Yan Nanshan, intending to crush him! Hovering above the massive fist was a giant, semi-visible tiger that looked ferociously terrifying.

"Battle Art!" Qin Feiyang’s pupils contracted.

"Hmph!" Yan Nanshan gave a cold snort, pointing his index finger into the air as a brilliant flame burst forth. "Fire Wave Burn the World!"

The flame transformed into a massive, rolling wave, covering the sky and earth as it collided violently with the giant fist.

BOOM!

Instantly, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering explosion ripped through the sky above the square.

SPURT!

The Guard Commander coughed up a mouthful of blood on the spot. Yan Nanshan, however, merely turned a shade paler. The outcome was decided in a single exchange!

How could this be? Locked away for so long, why is his Battle Intent still so abundant? Even with Battle Intent Pills, recovery at this pace would be impossible! The Guard Commander’s pupils contracted, unable to believe his eyes.

What he didn’t know was that the Battle Intent Pill Qin Feiyang had given Yan Nanshan had two Elixir Patterns. The energy it harbored was several times that of an ordinary Battle Intent Pill! That was why Qin Feiyang supported Yan Nanshan in this battle. He was confident that he could restore Yan Nanshan’s strength to its peak in a short time.

"Is this your strength? Nothing impressive!" Yan Nanshan stared disdainfully, stepped forward, clenched his fist, and launched a powerful punch.

"What are you being arrogant about?" The Guard Commander was indignant.

CLANG!

A broad black sword, over ten meters long, rose from behind him, slashing at Yan Nanshan like a bolt of lightning. This was his Battle Soul!

Facing this sudden change, Yan Nanshan didn’t panic at all.

SCREECH!

A fire hawk soared into the sky, its sharp beak smashing the Battle Soul to dust.

Simultaneously, Yan Nanshan’s punch hit the Guard Commander squarely in the chest.

AAAH!

The Guard Commander screamed, flying sideways as his entire chest cavity caved in! Blood filled the sky!

"I have the right to be arrogant, do you?" Yan Nanshan seethed. "If not for the crimes I’ve committed, I would have killed you the moment you first humiliated me!"

Yan Nanshan was livid. Like a divine rainbow, he quickly caught up to the Guard Commander, stomping hard on his abdomen.

CRACK! THUD!

The Guard Commander howled in agony, his Qi Sea shattered by the stomp as he plummeted violently to the ground, spewing blood! Yan Nanshan then landed, his right foot on the Guard Commander’s chest.

He looked down at the Guard Commander, saying with cold arrogance, "You? You dare to brazenly claim that you can beat me?"

Above his head, the fire hawk circled, exuding waves of ferocious might! At this point, despite Yan Nanshan’s disheveled appearance and blood-stained clothes, he resembled a War God descended from the heavens, displaying unmatched dominance! In contrast, the Guard Commander was in an utterly pathetic state, staring furiously at Yan Nanshan, his eyes full of resentment.

"HAHA..." Wolf King let out a hearty laugh as he ran to Yan Nanshan’s side, saying admiringly, "Hall Master, you’re still as sharp as ever!"

Yan Nanshan chuckled, shaking his head. "I’m no longer the Hall Master of Martial King Palace. Don’t address me as such; just call me by my name!"

Wolf King chuckled mischievously, looking at the Guard Commander. "Little crawler, now you know who’s boss, right?"

The Guard Commander snarled, "Animal, dare to duel me one-on-one!"

"Are you out of your mind?" Wolf King looked at him oddly. A full-blown War Emperor actually challenging a War King? How could he even bring himself to say it?

"Come, come, open your mouth wide," Wolf King said cheekily. "I’ll give you some Holy Water, guaranteed to repair your Qi Sea and heart, enabling you to turn the tide and crush Yan Nanshan underfoot."

"Holy Water?" Both Yan Nanshan and the Guard Commander faltered, somewhat puzzled.

Wang Hong was also confused, asking, "Qin Feiyang, what is Holy Water?"

Qin Feiyang’s face twitched as he said hesitantly, "Uh... it’s hard to explain. Senior, you’ll understand if you just keep watching."

Brother Wolf is truly shameless! Fatty cursed inwardly.

Wolf King spoke impatiently, "So, do you want the Holy Water or not? If you don’t open your mouth now, don’t say I didn’t offer to help."

"Would you be so kind?" The Guard Commander was suspicious. This wolf is clearly on Yan Nanshan’s side. How could it possibly help me?

Wolf King scoffed, "If you don’t believe me, then forget it. My Holy Water is very precious; I’m almost reluctant to give it to you!"

"I want it, I want it," the Guard Commander said hastily, then opened his mouth wide.

Wolf King said, "Not wide enough."

On hearing this, the Guard Commander opened his mouth wider, big enough to fit an egg.

"That’s more like it!" Wolf King nodded, his bell-like eyes filled with a sly grin.

He spread his hind legs wide, and a stream of liquid sprayed out, landing straight into the Guard Commander’s mouth.

UGH!

Everyone was dumbfounded. So this is the so-called Holy Water? How shameless!

The Guard Commander was taken aback but then, infuriated, bellowed, "Beast, I’m going to kill you!" As he roared, all that ’Holy Water’ was swallowed.

RETCH!

He immediately started to dry heave.

Wolf King asked innocently, "This is genuine Holy Water. Is the taste really that awful?"

PFFT!

The Guard Commander, driven mad with anger, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. "I must kill you!" He launched a desperate attack, lunging for Wolf King!

Even though his Qi Sea was abolished, making it impossible to use Battle Intent, the Guard Commander was, after all, a War Emperor. With physical strength alone, he was more than capable of instantly killing Wolf King, who was merely a War King. But how could Yan Nanshan give him such an opportunity? After all, he had always treated Qin Feiyang and Wolf King as his own juniors, caring for them deeply.

His index finger shot out, and a bolt of Battle Intent plunged straight into the Guard Commander’s brow. Blood splattered! The Guard Commander drew his last breath and died on the spot!

"He actually killed him!" The guards at the prison gate were all stunned. Although the Guard Commander was at fault, he was, after all, a Seven-star War Emperor and one of the core strengths of Spirit State. How could he be killed just like that? The most critical point was that Commander Wang Hong merely frowned and didn’t rebuke Yan Nanshan.

"Yan Nanshan, you won’t need to return to Yan Province. You’ll go to the Holy Temple with Qin Feiyang later," Wang Hong said. "I have to return and report, so I’ll be leaving first." After saying this, Wang Hong turned into a flash of light and vanished.

"Go to the Holy Temple?" Yan Nanshan was somewhat stunned, his face full of doubt.

Wolf King chuckled. "It was arranged by the Palace Master for you to serve in the Holy Temple. And of course, we had a hand in it too, so don’t forget to thank us."

Yan Nanshan shivered. During his time in prison, he had heard the Guard Commander mention the Holy Temple—the cultivation holy land of Spirit State. In the past, he wouldn’t have even dared to dream of it!

The guards were also incredulous. To be released and immediately assigned a position in the Holy Temple—such a thing had never happened before. It was clear that these people had extraordinary backgrounds.

The wide-faced guard walked up to Fatty and laughed, "Brother Butterball, I didn’t expect your relationship with the Palace Master to be this good. Please look out for me in the future!"

"Of course, of course," Fatty chuckled, then turned to Qin Feiyang and said, "Boss, let me introduce you. This is Fan Jian. He’s the one who helped Master Fatty get the evidence."

Implies cheap? Qin Feiyang was taken aback. How could someone have such a ridiculous name?

Fan Jian said awkwardly, "Master Qin, it’s not ’implies cheap,’ it’s Fan Jian—Fan for ’standardization,’ and Jian for ’construction.’"

Qin Feiyang’s face twitched. This guy’s parents really had a talent for picking names, huh?

He quickly took out one hundred million Gold Coins, put them in a Qiankun Bag, and said with a smile, cupping his hands, "Thank you for your help, Brother Fan. This is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you won’t turn it down."

"Not at all, not at all!" Fan Jian waved his hands hurriedly and happily accepted the Qiankun Bag.

A hundred million! he thought with awe. Even though I’m a War Emperor, without status or backing, this is an astronomical sum for me!

Qin Feiyang said with a laugh, "Then we’ll take our leave first. When we have time, let’s get together again."

"Sure, sure!" Fan Jian nodded repeatedly. Although he had a wide face, his nose and eyes were small, making him look rather sleazy. He was nearly on par with Fatty. No wonder Fatty had been able to bribe him so easily; it turned out they were birds of a feather.

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, opening a teleportation gate. Once Wolf King and Yan Nanshan came over, they walked into it one after another.

「Soon.」

The group appeared at the entrance of the reception hall.

So this is the Holy Temple... Yan Nanshan murmured, looking around, a wave of emotions washing over him. I thought I’d never leave that prison once I entered. I never expected to end up in this sacred cultivation ground. This truly is a blessing in disguise!

Wang Hong had already informed the Chief Hall Master of the Holy Temple, and the Chief Hall Master had also given instructions. So, when Qin Feiyang brought Yan Nanshan into the hall and found Zhou Dong and his brother, they directly gave the Identity Token to Yan Nanshan.

Moreover, they even arranged a cushy job for Yan Nanshan: to succeed Lu An and take charge of the Resource Hall.

As for Fatty, upon revealing his cultivation and age, he too was admitted as a Disciple of the Holy Temple without any examination. However, Zhou Dong and Zhou Xi, the two brothers, had another quarrel over who would get Fatty as a disciple. Even though Fatty seemed sleazy, his exceptional talent was undeniable; he was definitely a promising youngster.

However, Fatty, like Lu Hong, chose to follow wherever Qin Feiyang went. For this, Zhou Xi complained a lot about Qin Feiyang.

After sending Yan Nanshan to the Resource Hall, Qin Feiyang took Wolf King and Fatty and returned to Alchemy Room No. 2.

"Wow, this Alchemy Room is so big!" Upon entering the Alchemy Room, Fatty was instantly amazed by the sight before him.

Qin Feiyang called Fatty to the resting room and sighed, "Fatty, there’s something we need to tell you now."

"What is it?" Fatty frowned. Hearing that tone, this can’t be good.

Qin Feiyang said, "Lu Hong’s cultivation has been abolished."

"What?" Fatty had just sat down when he abruptly stood up again, demanding, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

Qin Feiyang said, "We didn’t want to distract you. However, the people who hurt her have already been killed by us."

Fatty said furiously, "Damn it, killing them isn’t enough! Tell me quickly, I’m going to dig up their ancestors’ graves!"

"Calm down, calm down." Qin Feiyang quickly pacified him and recounted the entire sequence of events.
