Chapter 515 - 514: I Am Invincible in the Human World! (Third Update)
Parasites of the nation!
Indeed, in Qin Heng's eyes, these Martial Dao families were nothing but parasites of the nation!
The Ancient Divine Sect was detached from the mortal world, indifferent to its affairs.
The Martial Dao families, however, were different. They rooted themselves in the secular world, enjoying the benefits of the national order from ancient times to the present, exploiting ordinary people, constantly taking, yet never considering themselves citizens!
In times of peace and prosperity, the Martial Dao families recklessly amassed capital, madly expanding their power. Yet, when chaos engulfed the land or foreign tribes invaded, these people vanished without a trace, looking after only themselves, unconcerned with the world's affairs!
Decades ago, during the Divine Province catastrophe, corpses littered the fields, and the smoke of war covered the land!!
When the nation faced peril, some Martial Artists stepped forward. However, most were from less established Martial Dao families or were unaffiliated Martial Artists. Those from Martial Dao families with legacies spanning hundreds, or even thousands, of years, were exceedingly few! Almost non-existent!!
Four hundred years ago, Qing troops entered the Pass!
Eight hundred years ago, the Mongols destroyed the Song Dynasty!
When foreign armies invaded the Central Plains, trampling fertile fields and ravaging the Divine Province!!
These Martial Dao families, who had amassed immense resources and wealth through exploitation, becoming incredibly powerful, all shuttered their gates. They meticulously protected their own interests, terrified of incurring the slightest loss!
Almost none lifted a finger!!
For the Martial Dao families, only their clans existed; there was no country, no nation!
Thousands of miles of lost national territory mattered less to them than a sliver of their own clan's loss!
They took from the people, only to use it for themselves!
In times of national crisis, these Martial Dao families were even worse than the common folk of the countryside!!
These are parasites! Parasites of the nation!!
Qin Heng looked down on these people but couldn't be bothered with them.
However, since these parasites had now come knocking, Qin Heng wouldn't hesitate to act—to annihilate all the Martial Dao families of Yu State!!
"You! You! What audacity!!" Du Cheng stared at Qin Heng in disbelief, as if looking at a madman. "Annihilate the Martial Dao families of Yu State!? Madman! You're truly a madman! You have no idea how powerful the Martial Dao families of Yu State are!!"
"You're courting death! Absolutely courting death! Hahaha!" Du Zhou burst into laughter, looking at Qin Heng as if he were an idiot. "Qin Heng, don't think that just because you have the power of a Semi-Saint, you can do whatever you want in Yu State! You're dreaming!!"
They simply did not believe Qin Heng could achieve it.
The Martial Dao families of Yu State were too powerful, truly too powerful!
Because Yu State is ancient, exceedingly ancient. In ages long past, this place was the heartland of all China, the center of the world!!
Countless great clans took root here!
Here, they passed down their legacies!!
Although Spiritual Energy declined and the Laws fell silent after the Tang Dynasty, leading Earth gradually into an era of Dharma Decline, many top-tier clans left the mortal realm for other dimensions. Yet, even the branches that remained were immensely powerful!
Indeed, Yu State was home to a branch of one of the oldest and most powerful families in the mortal realm—one that had remained on Earth!
The Shang Family!
They inherited the ancient bloodline of the Shang Dynasty's royal family, and their original surname was Zi.
Now, they use Shang as their surname.
Only the Family Head is qualified to adopt the surname Zi!
The current Family Head is Zi Can!
A Semi-Saint who has lived for six hundred years!
Not in slumber, but a Semi-Saint who has genuinely lived in the mortal realm for six hundred years!!
Such a family was immensely powerful! And this wasn't even the entirety of Yu State's strength!!
In Du Cheng and Du Zhou's view, Qin Heng wanting to single-handedly flatten all the Martial Dao families in Yu State was undoubtedly a fool's errand!! It was simply impossible! Absolutely unattainable!!
"Qin Heng, the Martial Dao families in Yu State are complex and interconnected," Ning Shuying said, frowning slightly. "There are too many ancient families there. Some lineages even connect to main branches in other dimensions. A few of these old families are no weaker than the Ancient Divine Sect."
"Even the Ancient Divine Sect, I can suppress with a flip of my hand," Qin Heng said, gently shaking his head. "No need to worry. In this era, I am unbeatable. In this mortal realm, on this entire Earth, I am invincible. There is no one I cannot defeat, no one I cannot kill."
Confidence! Absolute confidence!! It was like a radiance that somewhat dazzled Ning Shuying.
She couldn't help but recall Qin Heng killing Amaterasu with a single lash. Taking a deep breath, she said, "If you need help from Myth, be sure to tell us. West Emperor and Prince East have also found those parasites an eyesore for a long time."
"You... you people have such audacity!!" Du Cheng's gaze was fixed on Qin Heng and Ning Shuying. "You'll regret this! You'll definitely regret it!!"
"The power of the Martial Dao families far surpasses your imagination!!" Du Zhou sneered at Qin Heng. "Bring it on, Qin Xuantian! I know you annihilated the Zeng Family of Youzhou, but Yu State is leagues beyond Youzhou! On National Day, October 1st, we'll be waiting for you to come and die!!"
"Get lost. Enough of your nonsense," Qin Heng waved his hand impatiently. A fierce wind instantly arose, sweeping up the brothers Du Zhou and Du Cheng, sending them flying several kilometers before they finally plunged into the sea.
Let them swim back to land themselves!
"Qin Heng, are you really confident?" Ning Shuying turned to face Qin Heng. "Don't push yourself."
"On October 1st, Instructor Ning, just watch the news," Qin Heng said with a relaxed smile. "In this mortal realm, I am invincible. No one is my opponent. Mere Yu State, I can obliterate with a turn of my hand."
This was not arrogance, nor exaggeration. It was a truthful statement, Qin Heng's genuine assessment of his own power. He! Was just that powerful!!
「After Du Cheng and Du Zhou returned to Yu State.」
They conveyed Qin Heng's words verbatim to their own Family Head and also relayed them to all the Martial Dao families throughout Yu State!
Qin Xuantian intended to annihilate the Martial Dao families of Yu State!!
The news was like a stone cast into a calm lake, instantly stirring up enormous waves! It immediately caused an uproar throughout Yu State and even across the entire Chinese Martial Dao world!!
However, Qin Heng, far away on Penglai Island, remained unconcerned.
「In the following week.」
Qin Heng and Ning Shuying spent their time on Penglai Island teaching students from the three top universities. They had them practice the *Yi Jin Jing* to improve their physiques, enhance their strength, and lay a foundation for their Martial Dao path after the future resurgence of Spiritual Energy. At the same time, they could also identify individuals with good Martial Dao potential. After character assessments, promising candidates might be added to the reserve ranks of the Myth Organization, injecting some fresh blood.
Thus, it wasn't until September 22nd that the military training ended, and Qin Heng returned to Beijing with everyone else.
His university life had officially begun.
However, Qin Heng hadn't expected his cousin, Liu Tong, to come looking for him on the very first day of classes.
"Qin Heng!" Liu Tong's expression was grim. He frowned at Qin Heng, disdain hidden in his eyes, and said, "You are incredibly rude! My mom went to great lengths to arrange a blind date for you with Cheng Yuyao, and you just walked out? How could you disregard all our painstaking effort like that?
"Daqin Group is currently in a critical period; one wrong step could lead to utter ruin! Can't you even think to ease your parents' burdens? You're so thoughtless!
"If you weren't my cousin, I'd call you a good-for-nothing!!"
