My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences - Chapter 513

513 Feather Cage!
While the other three laughed, the blood sea beneath them bubbled, splashing over their bodies before crystallizing into an icy sheen that enveloped them. Then, their eyes gradually closed, feeling the energy pulsating from within their bodies.

…

Meanwhile, Qin Huai stirred from his slumber. Almost at the same time, Wang Kun opened his eyes.

“Brother Qin, a powerful enemy approaches!” Wang Kun said, a note of panic in his voice. “I’ve never sensed such a strong wind before.”

A powerful wind, coupled with a chilling light, raged from hundreds, perhaps even thousands of miles away, unseen by the naked eye. There was no need to perceive the enemy’s surging blood essence and aura — both understood that the approaching entity was a high-ranking member of the Kun Peng clan.

Boom!

The thunderous sound of the air being ripped apart reached them the very next moment. Qin Huai and Wang Kun simultaneously turned their gaze toward the sky, seeing five burly men gazing down at them, their eyes devoid of emotion.

“It appears we’ve found you two.” The central clan leader coldly regarded Qin Huai and Wang Kun on the ground, then cast a glance at the others behind him. “You guys go first. Remember, show no mercy.”

“Understood!”

Four supreme experts at the first-level visceral prefecture realm launched themselves at Qin Huai and Wang Kun. With a hissing sound, two pairs of gray wings, nearly ten meters in length, unfurled like deadly scythes from hell as they whooshed toward Qin Huai’s neck.

Qin Huai’s countenance remained calm, though. His eyes swirled with a murderous glint, flashing with a blinding white light. His hair turned white, his physique abruptly amplifying.

Then, his palm cut through the air like a blade, aiming at one of the visceral prefecture realm experts. From the base of his palm, a white light emanated.

The two demons were extraordinarily fast, yet in Qin Huai’s eyes, they were far from enough. Now, with their charge, it was akin to stepping into a trap.

Apparently, these demons hadn’t fully comprehended their fighting strength even after losing hundreds of their brethren. Or perhaps, their actions were far too predictable.

Suddenly, Qin Huai watched as a feather gently descended onto his palm. The next instant, the gray feather seemed to be crushed by an enormous weight, plunging downwards.

Qin Huai hastily withdrew his hand and recoiled. Two sets of sharp wings skimmed past the tip of his nose. More alarmingly, the feather punctured the surface of the blood sea.

In Qin Huai’s perception, the fiery blood sea failed to mend itself immediately. After a moment, the feather-shaped gap filled up. He raised his head to look at the man standing not far off.

“Brother Qin, be careful of the fellow in the sky! He’s likely a clan leader!” Wang Kun’s voice rang in his ear.

“A clan leader?” Qin Huai appeared puzzled. Wasn’t Tang Pi, Qingzhou’s prefecture overseer, the leader of the Kun Peng clan?

“The prefecture overseer, Tang Pi, should be the leader of the Kun Peng clan, or perhaps, Brother Qin, you can consider him as the primary clan leader. Beneath his rule are five subsidiary leaders, and they govern five clans each with distinct surnames. The leaders of these five great clans are all supreme experts at the fifth-level visceral prefecture realm,” Wang Kun shouted out, informing Qin Huai about the structure of the Kun Peng clan.

The central clan leader regarded Wang Kun with astonishment. “Who exactly are you to have such detailed knowledge about my Kun Peng clan? It’s impossible for my clan members to divulge our secrets to inferior beings such as you.”

The central clan leader’s expression was stern. The Kun Peng clan had maintained its secrecy for thousands of years, thanks to their stringent family rules.

One leak could result in the annihilation of the leaker’s direct bloodline spanning three generations. This allowed the Kun Peng Clan to govern Qing Province for thousands of years without exposure. Yet, the fact that their closely guarded secrets were so readily known by this Wang Kun was a shock.

“I…” Wang Kun stuttered, then retorted, “Why does it matter how I know?! Brother Qin, keep your eye on this man… His power is likely beyond imagination!”

However, there was no need for Wang Kun to expound further. The power of the feather had already allowed Qin Huai to perceive the adversary’s strength.

“I’ll pry the information from your mouth, slowly but surely,” the central clan leader yelled from the air. The next moment, over a dozen gray feathers materialized around Qin Huai, nearly sealing all escape routes.

Qin Huai’s eyes narrowed. The central clan’s leader had already materialized in front of him, his wide body thrice as Qin Huai’s width. His muscular frame rippled with power, an intimidating aura spilling out from between his sinews, crashing into Qin Huai’s face like a wave.
His towering figure cast a shadow over Qin Huai as he gazed coldly down at him, an overwhelming sense of oppression enveloping the air, making the atmosphere more tense.

“Insect, can you withstand my blow?” A heavy punch sheathed in a gust of wind hurtled past Qin Huai’s ear.

Bang!

The punch halted at Qin Huai’s temple, obstructed by a smaller palm. Qin Huai stared at the central clan leader before him in disbelief.

“What immense strength.” Qin Huai had not encountered such formidable power since his breakthrough. This was a first.

“What…” The central clan leader was stunned. Then, his eyes sparkled with excitement. “Interesting vermin!”

He launched another punch towards Qin Huai, so rapid that the surrounding visceral prefecture realm experts could only see a dark shadow.

Bang!

The energy dispersed like ripples on water, spreading in every direction. The central clan leader hunched over, his eyes bulging as he felt an intense force in his abdomen.

Bang!

Then, a succession of explosions resonated from his abdomen. The overwhelming force launched the central clan leader into the air with the last punch.

As feathers fluttered around Qin Huai, he surged forward like an arrow, his eyes fixating on the gray feather. The feather was as light as it appeared, weightless.

“Give up now!” the central clan leader yelled from a distance.

The feather on his shoulder suddenly growing heavy, Qin Huai’s body twirled twice in mid-air before regaining balance. That heavy feather on his shoulder plummeted into the blood sea.

“What kind of strange cultivation technique is this?” Qin Huai eyed the floating feathers around him. Was he trying to entirely enclose himself within a confined area?

“This is a unique bloodline technique of our clan. A roc can be as light as a feather or as heavy as a mountain. I can freely shift between these states. This is a god-given technique, the privilege of a higher being. You lower beings exhaust all your wisdom, yet you only grasp a mere fragment of our knowledge.”

The central clan’s leader, despite his composed demeanor, felt shock when confronting a human like Qin Huai. They never missed an opportunity to flaunt their race’s superiority and took pleasure in belittling humans like Qin Huai.

“You’ll meet your end in my feather cage.” The central clan leader massaged his abdomen. He still felt lingering trepidation towards Qin Huai’s strength.

In the next second, he materialized in front of Qin Huai again. This time, he didn’t hesitate. A fearsome punch cloaked in gray feathers zoomed toward Qin Huai’s face.

Immediately, Qin Huai activated the dragon emperor. White dragon bones sprouted instantly from between Qin Huai’s muscles. At the same time, a formidable dragon’s aura radiated, and boundless power surged from the depths of his dantian.

Bang!

With a punch, the chilling wind was punctuated with the clear sound of bones shattering. The central clan leader looked taken aback. He stared at his twisted fingers, his face mirroring his disbelief.

More importantly, the terror emanating from the man in front of him was causing him to tremble. What was happening? He was from the Kun Peng clan!

“What… What kind of guardian spirit item is this?” The central clan leader stepped back, but he stopped. The pride of the Kun Peng clan did not allow for retreat.

He drew his fist back and mustered all the strength in his body and directed it towards Qin Huai’s face.

Qin Huai’s cold voice echoed in his ears, “It’s just a true dragon bone.”
