"Weren't you trying to kill me earlier?" Qin Heng looked at Yang Wenze with a half-smile and said lightly, "Why do you now want me to spare your life?"

"I was blind and failed to recognize your esteemed identity; I failed to recognize Mount Tai," Yang Wenze said to Qin Heng with a fawning expression. "Grandmaster Qin, Immortal Xuantian, I beg you to spare me! I can give you half of the Yang family's assets—no, no, no, seventy percent! You will then be the true King of Jinling. I only ask that you spare my life!"

The onlookers were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

"My God!"

"Is this the same man who has helmed the Yang family of Jinling for seven hundred years?"

"Groveling to such an extent!"

"Begging so pitifully!"

"To trade seventy percent of his family's fortune for his life, it's simply unbelievable!"

Of course, many young girls' eyes sparkled as they watched Qin Heng.

"So impressive! He's so impressive! A single man has made the Yang family of Jinling unable to lift their heads and even forced them to try and redeem their lives with their family assets!"

"So amazing! This is what a true man should be! A real man should dominate the world with a single fist. Qin Xuantian is so cool, I'm falling for him!"

"Ah, he's so handsome! He's completely conquered my girlish heart! I'll go find him tonight; I absolutely must sleep with him!"

Du Wei, the young mistress of the Tianhai Du family, was no exception. Her beautiful eyes shimmered like starlight as she looked at Qin Heng and murmured, "Mr. Xuantian, you're really incredible, truly incredible!"

Chen Qingzhu wore a proud expression and smiled, saying, "This is Mr. Qin's magnificence, unmatched between heaven and earth, a peerless hero, a banished immortal from the skies, a god among humans. No one can compare to him."

"You want to use seventy percent of the Yang family's assets to apologize and exchange for your life?" Qin Heng looked at Yang Wenze coolly and said, "But you are the head of the Yang family in Jinling City, a dignified and important man."

"No, no, no, Grandmaster Qin, you are the most distinguished personage! I am mere trash before you!" Yang Wenze's attitude was utterly servile as he said with a smile, "Seventy percent of the Yang family's assets are what I willingly offer you. Please, consider it a greeting gift from me."

The people around were instantly dumbfounded.

"What the hell!"

"To give seventy percent of the Yang family's assets as a greeting gift—it's simply unimaginable!"

"It's over!"

"This time, the Yang family is finished!"

"It seems you are quite determined in your apology," Qin Heng said with a smile, nodding slightly.

"Yes, yes, I am wholeheartedly apologizing to you!" Yang Wenze said with a sycophantic smile. "Grandmaster Qin, you are magnanimous. Please treat me as if I were a puff of air and let me go!"

"Since you are so determined in your apology, then go ahead and die." Qin Heng's expression was indifferent as, under Yang Wenze's incredulous gaze, he said coolly, "From the moment you harbored the intent to kill me, your death was sealed!"

CRACK!

Qin Heng's palm exerted a little force, easily breaking Yang Wenze's neck. He then tossed the lifeless body to the ground, piling it with Yang Zuobin's corpse.

"The Yang family of Jinling City? What are they?" Qin Heng stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looked around with a light chuckle, and said, "From now on, there will be no Yang family in Jinling City. Henceforth, all of the Yang family's assets will be inherited by the Qins!"

What I, Qin Heng, want, why would I need Yang Wenze to give it to me? I'll just take it directly. Who would dare to disagree? If they do, I'll kill them! Once I kill everyone who disagrees, the rest will naturally agree.

BOOM!

While everyone in the clubhouse was still immersed in Qin Heng's display of might, a massive surge of water suddenly erupted from the Qinhuai River. Towering over five hundred meters high, it almost reached the heavens, shrouding the moonlight!

A figure stood atop the towering wave. The moonlight refracted through the water vapor, casting a sheen upon him, making it seem as if his entire being radiated a bright, silvery moonlight—like an Immortal descended from the heavens!

It was none other than Hong Guchen, whom Qin Heng had slapped away, sending him flying into the Qinhuai River!

ROAR!

The sound of the surging water echoed between heaven and earth, filling everyone's ears, jarring their spirits, and making them feel as if they were being submerged by a flood, trapped in boundless fear.

"Qin Xuantian! Your strength is indeed impressive; you haven't disappointed me!" Hong Guchen stood atop the wave, hands clasped behind his back, towering above all as he declared, "Only killing a master like you holds any interest for me. Otherwise, there's no fun at all—it's far too boring!"

"An ant like you shouldn't be so noisy. If you want to die, then come and claim it," Qin Heng said impatiently. "Stop spouting such unrealistic nonsense."

In Qin Heng's eyes, Hong Guchen's cultivation level wasn't even as high as Miyamoto's, roughly equivalent to the seventh level of the Qi Refinement Realm.

However, Hong Guchen's Cultivation Technique was of a high grade, aligning with the power of the stars and granting him authority over death. Even at a level equivalent to the Qi Refinement Realm, he could touch upon profound Daoist Principles.

Even among the Cultivation Techniques of immortal cultivators, it was considered a top-tier legacy. Not even the most revered sacred lands connected to the Starry Sky would possess many similar techniques!

Therefore, although Hong Guchen's cultivation was inferior to Miyamoto's, his actual strength far surpassed it. Yet, in Qin Heng's eyes, there wasn't a significant difference between the two. The only distinction lay in whether he needed to use slightly more or slightly less strength to crush them with a palm!

"Qin Xuantian, don't just rely on empty words!" Hovering in the air, Hong Guchen sneered, "I am not that piece of trash Huangfu Taiyi. Now that I've reached the Innate realm, I can commune with heaven and earth, harnessing the power of the stars for my use. You are definitely not my match!"

At this point, Du Wei also became somewhat worried. She had never truly seen Qin Heng fight. Now, seeing Hong Guchen standing high above on a five-hundred-meter-tall wave, looking like a God in the sky, she began to feel a sense of dread.

"Sister Qingzhu, can Mr. Xuantian... really win?" Du Wei's voice trembled slightly. As an ordinary person, she simply couldn't withstand the overwhelming, terrifying aura emanating from Hong Guchen.

"A mere buffoon like him? Mr. Qin can kill him with a single slap," Chen Qingzhu declared with utter confidence, standing tall as she looked up at the sky. She had absolute faith in Qin Heng!

"You audacious slave girl, relying on borrowed power!" Hong Guchen suddenly let out a furious shout, his gaze falling upon Chen Qingzhu. He raised his hand, and in an instant, a sinister streak of Starlight converged, forming into a long spear!

HUM!

The void vibrated as the spear pierced the air! Hong Guchen actually hurled the shadowy spear he had formed. Under the moonlit night sky, it traced a sinister arc, carrying an intensely cold, deathly aura as it shot towards Chen Qingzhu!

"Hahaha!" Hong Guchen laughed uproariously, his voice echoing towards the sky. His terrifying aura surged like a tsunami, causing the Qinhuai River itself to tremble. "Qin Xuantian! Watch closely! This spear is called the Southern Dipper's Star Penalty! It carries death, brings death! A single touch means instant death! Your little maidservant is finished! Hahaha!"
