The martial arts site of the Qin Clan was located at the Heavenly Cauldron Plain, a place with a spacious and empty terrain located at the highest part of the Aspiring Throne Mountain. It posed to have a myriad of meteorological features such as clouds and fog wrapping around it in the sky.
If one was able to compete at the Heavenly Cauldron Plain, it was a recognition to their strength.
Qin Shaohong was filled with anger, but was already standing on the center of the stage while keeping a straight face. He was wearing an expression that appeared as if he was going to eat his enemies alive.
Upon seeing his stance, the core disciples who never got along with Qin Shaohong even during usual circumstances secretly broke out in a cold sweat. They were all praying for Qin Wushuang and hoped he would ferociously thwart the arrogance of Qin Shaohong.
With eyes blazing like a torch, Qin Wushuang looked around and took in the expressions of everyone in one glance. He chuckled to himself,
It seems that this Qin Shaohong does not know how to behave with integrity.



He slowly walked up the stage and shot Qin Shaohong a casual glance.

Qin Wushuang, today, let me expose your undeserved face,
Qin Shaohong said with a nasty grin as his tone was filled with resentment.
Qin Wushuang ignored Qin Shaohong’s actions. Instead, he turned around to speak to the two great chiefs,
Chiefs, before the duel I have some words that I wish to pour out from my mind. Will you allow this?

Qin Yunran waved his hand casually.
The Qin Clan is not a dictatorship. Wushuang, go ahead if you want to say something, it’s a good thing to have ideas.

Clearly, this was a form of instigation. After hearing the request, Honored Warrior Zhi Huai intended to shut Qin Wushuang down and ask him not to talk too much nonsense. After hearing Qin Yunran speak, he held back the words he was about to blurt out from his mouth.
Instead, he said angrily,
Qin Wushuang, are you not just delaying time?


Honored Warrior Zhi Huai, I haven’t even spoken yet. How can you be so sure that I am delaying time?

By Qin Wushuang’s words, Honored Warrior Zhi Huai was instantly dumbstruck and unable to reply. The other Honored Warriors next to him advised him,
Zhi Huai, don’t be mad with the youngster! Just as the Second Chief had said, it’s a good thing for youngsters to have their own ideas.

Honored Warrior Zhi Huai snorted, yet he did not say anything further. He only looked at Qin Wushuang with a pair of cold eyes that show nothing but ruthlessness.
Qin Wushuang revealed a light smile and cleared his throat. Then, he said with a clear voice,
Everyone, I do possess superficial knowledge for my young age. I had kept a low-profile when I first came from the human countries to the Aspiring Throne Mountain. I never intended to engage in conflict with any of the fellow disciples. Today I am challenging Senior Brother Qin Shaohong not because I enjoy provocation, but because it’s not one of my own volitions.



Qin Wushuang took the next few moments to narrated the event of how Qin Shaohong came to his yard and provoked him.
Qin Shaohong only stared at Qin Wushuang with an expressionless and dark face. He only thought to himself how he would let him have fun with his speech, but then let him know the struggle awaiting him with his first strike.
After Qin Wushuang finished speaking, he asked with a light tone,
Senior Brother Shaohong, I did not make this up and these were not fabrications to put on a show and dishonor you, right?

Qin Shaohong said coldly,
Just when are you going to stop speaking this nonsense?


No!
Qin Wushuang said with a determined tone and firm expression.
This was definitely not nonsense! If you were a disciple of the Heavenly Punishing Villa or Sound of Thunder Sect, I would have made a move without hesitation, regardless of life or death. However, for you and I, regardless of the conflicts, it’s between disciples of the Qin Clan. I had to speak these words that were on my mind.

Qin Chongyang revealed a dignified expression and yet, did not voice his opinion. Qin Yunran still maintained a smile and refused to comment.
Honored Warrior Zhi Huai gave a snort. However, since the two Chiefs did not speak at all, it was inappropriate for him to say anything despite being filled with anger.

Qin Wushuang, when you and I stand here, are we going to compete with our mouths or through our strength? I see that you are inverting root and branch!
Qin Shaohong said angrily.
Qin Wushuang did not buy this at all as he said with a self-composed posture,
Senior Brother Shaohong, since we are already standing on the martial arts stage, are you still worried about not being able to perform in this battle?


Who has the patience to listen to your nonsense? Everyone has come to watch the martial arts competition.
Qin Shaohong had directly used the crowd as an excuse.



Senior Brother Shaohong, you are so scared of me saying it, are you lacking in confidence?

Qin Shaohong was angered as his face turned into a marinated purple color. He swore,
I am lacking in confidence? I think you are the one who is lacking confidence. Or else, why have you not made a move after all this time?


Qin Shaohong, it’d be simple to make a move! I will only ask you a few questions first! Would you dare to answer me?

They opposed each other with equal harshness as he responded,
How could I not dare?
Now, he had made up his mind. In the end they would be speaking with strength.
Qin Wushuang nodded and said,
Alright, let me ask you, who sets the rules at the Ascending Dragon Slope? Although I have come from a foreign branch, before I entered the mountain, the Chief and Elders had instructed me on all things that I needed to know. Yet, I’d never heard about such rules at the Ascending Dragon Slope as the ones you proposed! You’ve set up your own rules and established cliques to crowd out disciples from foreign branches, isn’t this true?


I did not set up this rule myself, it has always existed at the Ascending Dragon Slope! Don’t defile my character.


Is that so?
Qin Wushuang said with a cold sneer as he turned around to ask with a clear voice,
Two Chiefs, Qin Shaohong had once said that the public area of the Ascending Dragon Slope is his private territory. They had already divided up those public areas. Does such rule truly exist at the Qin Clan?

Qin Chongyang said with a cold sneer,
When have such rules existed?

Qin Shaohong knew that it would be difficult to refuse to admit.
Third Chief, this Qin Wushuang is intentionally trying to entrap me. That’s not what I meant. The division of the private areas, those were established as a joke by friends. It was not actually divided up.


Not divided up? Then when my subordinate was training at the public area, why did you say clearly that he was trespassing on your territory? I remember that besides the yard that are counted as personal territory, the other places are all public areas at the Ascending Dragon Slope, right?



Qin Wushuang was not just targeting Qin Shaohong with his words, but was also bringing in the leaders of the other core disciples.
Qin Hao and each of the others revealed a discontented expression. Qin Wushuang’s words had not just hit Qin Shaohong’s face, but theirs as well.
They had all reached a mutual understanding about the unspoken rules at the Ascending Dragon Slope. No one had ever brought such matters to the surface; however, Qin Wushuang had exposed it to a public place with numerous eyes.
Rage ignited and filled Qin Shaohong’s heart as he wished to swallow Qin Wushuang whole. He asked with a vicious tone,
Now that you have asked, can we fight now?

Qin Wushuang roared with laughter yet this laughter was filled with bitterness.

Qin Shaohong, the ancestors of the Qin Clan have had a tough time venturing into the business. Now, under a difficult situation, the disciples of the Qin Clan I had known, even the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan, are working for the situation of the Qin Clan. They all have sacrificed their precious lives. There was also senior Qin Shixun who gave his life rather than submit under siege from the Sound of Thunder Sect and the Heavenly Punishing Villa… Just how admiring he was. However, for the things you’ve done at the Ascending Dragon Slope, not only do I not admire them, I despised them. You are self-satisfied with being a stick in the mud, but you are ruining the future of the Qin Clan! The Qin Clan needs to move forward with a united force, and not by killing our own people. If internal strife becomes the most prevalent issue at the Qin Clan, I dare to predict that the foundation of the Qin Clan will be destroyed in our generation!

The more Qin Wushuang said, the angrier he became. He took a step forward and initiated his aura while speaking coldly,
If the Ascending Dragon Slope truly has such unspoken rules, I would have all the bones in my body shattered if it meant breaking this rule! Qin Shaohong, the battle to break this rule will begin with you!

As he said this, Qin Wushuang was in the sky and already, was pulling the Hegemony Breaking Formation Spear with his hand and waving it. The lights shining from his body revealed a truly strong character.
For the first time since Qin Wushuang had entered the Aspiring Throne Mountain, finally he could reveal his outstanding side: he revealed his true strength!
Even Honored Warrior Zhi Huai was greatly astonished. The strength of this Qin Wushuang had far exceeded his expectations. It even went beyond his knowledge and understanding.


The Hegemony Breaking Formation Spear had delivered such a sense of familiarity, yet it still appeared extremely imperious and unleashed awe-inspiring authority.
It was exactly how Qin Yu had used it when storming the Heavenly Emperor Mountain!
Qin Wushuang changed his tone,
The wish unfulfilled by my ancestor Qin Yu in the past, let me fulfill it! Qin Shaohong, show me everything you’ve got!

Qin Wushuang stood with his spear standing next to him, as he did not intend to use any of the Supreme Dao weapons at all. The Graceful Spiritual Bow and Supreme Dao shield would remain unexposed for now.
He was going to use his true power, his incomparable talent, and his naked body that had undergone the Supreme Dao baptism to break down Qin Shaohong’s pride. He would not allow a battle that led to any suspicion or gossip!
Upon seeing Qin Wushuang’s thunder-like imposing manner, Qin Shaohong also withdrew a breath of cold air. Strange lights flashed across his pupils. He gave a roar and also pulled out a long blade that appeared as clear and bright as the silver moon. The blade shot out cold rays of light in all directions.
Indeed, this weapon was the Cold Moon Breaking Water Blade used by Zhi Huai in the past that shared an equal standing with the Hegemony Breaking Formation Spear!
As soon as these two major weapons were shown off, people of the older generation sighed with emotion. Vaguely, they seemed to remember seeing Qin Yu of the past year and Qin Huai (the name Zhi Huai used when he was core disciple).
Qin Shaohong gave a cold chant and shook his wrist. Instantly, the brilliant silver moon lights overflowed to his entire body as it extended from his wrist to his shoulder.
Shua!
The tip of the blade that was as sharp as moon teeth broke out to the sky. This move had congealed seemingly into solid matter. As soon as the move lashed out, it seemed as if it had disappeared from the sky.
In the time it took one to blink their eyes, the light of the blade pierced the sky and slashed to about three metres before Qin Wushuang as it totally ignored the distance. All of a sudden, the blade that was originally three inches had expanded to the length of three metres. It had cut open the entire sky in half!
With a thunderous noise, Qin Wushuang’s body was slashed into half directly!

Ah?
the core disciples watching the show called out. How could it be possible? An immediate death after just one blade move?
How could it be possible?
The remains of the half-body dispersed to the sky while shadows soared to the sky. From dim to bright, it kept rising in the sky. When it rose to the middle of the air, it finally formed into a single entity. Qin Wushuang was already flying in the sky. With one flick of his two arms, two enormous wings burst open from his back! It was an awe-inspiring presence! This display was immediately followed by cheering from everyone that was watching beneath the stage. It was too shocking. It was incredibly magnificent.
Qin Wushuang evading this move had not completely won them over, but more so when he spread his pair of wings and flew in the middle of the air with a heroic posture. Such intimidation to the heart was the most shocking, for he appeared exactly as those descending war gods!
