Chapter 665: One and a half years to Semi-Saint, Zhao Family's God of Slaughter!
"We'll see who the ant is soon enough."
Qin Heng raised his hand and seized Zhao Feng as easily as lifting a chick. "Let's go," he said. "Take me to Zhao Yuyang."
"Heh, I can't wait to see you die!"
Zhao Yuyang is an invincible existence, unless a true Saint descends! But in this End of Dharma Age, a Martial Saint is the pinnacle of existence on Earth, a true rarity. How could they be so common?! Zhao Feng sneered inwardly.
And just like that, under the shocked gazes of the many waiters and customers at Dong Lai Shun, Qin Heng left the floor, still holding Zhao Feng. Xue Qinan, Nie Rongrong, and Shi Yiguang followed.
When they arrived at the underground parking garage, Zhao Feng sneered. "Kid, do you plan to drive to find Young Master Yuyang? You're a frog in a well, completely ignorant of where a true powerhouse lives!"
BOOM!
Qin Heng casually smashed Zhao Feng against a pillar in the underground garage. The impact dented the pillar and left Zhao Feng's face a bloody, distorted mess. "Cut the crap," Qin Heng said lightly. "Where is Zhao Yuyang?"
"Damn you! Damn you!!" Zhao Feng was utterly furious. Glaring at Qin Heng, he spat, "Just wait! Wait and see! Once you meet Young Master Yuyang, you'll realize how foolish your actions are. You're..."
BOOM!!
Qin Heng slammed Zhao Feng into another pillar. After pulling him out, he scoffed, "Can't you understand plain language? Tell me, where is Zhao Yuyang?"
"Ting Lake Mountain Villa! Ting Lake Mountain Villa!!" Zhao Feng, his face covered in blood and most of his teeth missing, gasped out. "The villa is in the middle of Ting Lake, atop a high mountain, and surrounded by Formations! Dreaming of getting in is just wishful thinking!"
"Ting Lake Mountain Villa!?" Nie Rongrong suddenly exclaimed. "Isn't that the dwelling of the Book Saint, ranked seventh on the Heavenly List? Could Zhao Yuyang be the Book Saint!?"
"No, Zhao Yuyang is the master of the Book Saint, Zhao Guanlan," Xue Qinan said, shaking her head. "On the Heavenly List, ranks ten through four are one tier, and the top three are in a tier of their own. Zhao Yuyang is ranked third—the God of Killers!"
"God of Killers?" Qin Heng's eyes narrowed slightly in thought. He looked at Xue Qinan and chuckled. "The Demonic Qi we encountered earlier had characteristics related to killing, and this Zhao Yuyang also proclaims himself the God of Killers... In a few days, the Battle of Changping Secret Realm will open. Lord Wu An, Bai Qi, is also known as a God of Killers. Now, his people say they've taken an interest in you. This is likely no coincidence."
"Zhao Yuyang is after the Secret Realm!? He also knows about the Battle of Changping Secret Realm opening!?" Xue Qinan said, startled. "Impossible! He might know the Secret Realm is opening, but there's no way he could know the specifics!"
"The Demon Clan has far greater sensitivity to the natural aura of heaven and earth than the Human Clan," Shi Yiguang said. "If that Zhao Yuyang truly has ties to demons, he might not know the specific details about the Secret Realm of Time-Space Seal, but he would likely sense the abundant aura within it."
"What are you guys talking about?" Nie Rongrong was completely puzzled. Demon Clan? Battle of Changping? Secret Realm of Time-Space Seal? She couldn't understand any of it.
"Babbling nonsense to sound mysterious!" Zhao Feng sneered; he didn't understand either. "You aren't scared, are you? If you are, let me go now! Otherwise, when Young Master Yuyang investigates, you'll all be dead!"
BOOM!
Qin Heng smashed him into the pillar again, this time embedding him directly inside. He didn't pull him out. "So much nonsense. Just be quiet for a while."
"How much do you know about this Zhao Yuyang?" Qin Heng looked at Xue Qinan, then suddenly chuckled. "And how did he take an interest in you?"
Xue Qinan was the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, a core member of the Myth Organization. She was a Semi-Saint who had half-stepped into the true Dao of Saints, with the mysterious and powerful West Emperor and Prince East as her backers!
Is Zhao Yuyang tired of living, actually daring to covet Xue Qinan?
"You still have the mood for jokes!" Xue Qinan chided softly, then her expression turned serious. "Zhao Yuyang is certainly not simple. Three years ago, he was just an ordinary young man in Jiangnan Province..."
After all, the Myth Organization reported directly to the nation and was very thorough with intelligence. Xue Qinan's understanding of Zhao Yuyang was incredibly comprehensive.
Zhao Yuyang was only nineteen, yet he had already made a name for himself as the God of Killers. He had risen from Su North City in Jiangnan Province three years prior, storming onto the Heavenly List.
Three years prior, Zhao Yuyang had been just an ordinary first-year high school student. His only distinction was that his father was the eldest son of the Zhao Martial Dao aristocratic family in Beijing.
Yet, Zhao Yuyang was merely the illegitimate son of that eldest son, the product of a casual dalliance with a young woman from a respectable family.
Zhao Yuyang's mother, pregnant before marriage, had faced contempt and raised him with great hardship, only to pass away just after he started high school.
Due to his background, Zhao Yuyang was often ridiculed at school. He had no interest in studying, and his grades were at the bottom of the class. In everyone's eyes, he was considered a waste.
However, after his mother died, Zhao Yuyang seemed to awaken suddenly, undergoing earth-shattering changes, starting with his appearance!
Originally just over 1.6 meters tall and plain-looking, he transformed into a handsome man over 1.8 meters tall. He became the prince charming in the eyes of many girls and played around with countless young women during high school.
Of course, his strength was the most critical aspect. According to information gathered by the Myth Organization, Zhao Yuyang first made a move in a bar in Su North City, Jiangnan Province. With a single punch, he severely injured a Hidden Force Martial Artist!
Half a month later, Zhao Yuyang killed a Half-Step Transcendence expert with a single palm strike. Half a year after that, on a cruise ship in international waters, he single-handedly fought three Grandmasters and defeated them all. At the same time, he broke through the Heavenly Gate and achieved the Innate realm!
Two years ago, at seventeen, he manifested the embryonic form of a Martial Saint's phenomenon. Billowing dark energy shrouded the sky as he entered the Semi-Saint realm and arrived at the Zhao family estate in Beijing!
With a single palm strike, he killed his biological father. Then, he subdued the Book Saint—who had protected the Zhao family for two hundred years—forcing him to acknowledge Zhao Yuyang as his master. Thus, Zhao Yuyang became the true patriarch of the Zhao family!
After that, he gradually faded from public view. For the past two years, there had been little news about him; he only occasionally appeared at business dinners or social gatherings of Beijing's upper echelons.
"I met him at a business dinner a year ago. In the mortal world, I am the daughter of the chairman of the Beijing Xue Financial Group," Xue Qinan said. "At that time, I had just stepped into the Semi-Saint domain. I only felt his gaze on me was strange, like a hungry wolf eyeing its prey. It disgusted me. We barely spoke before I left."
"A Semi-Saint for a year, that's somewhat interesting," Qin Heng nodded slightly, thoughtfully. "Let's go. Let's see what this God of Killers is all about!"
