Chapter 0193: The Power of the Heavenly Lion

All eyes in the arena were fixed on the lightning-flashing sword in Qin Zhengfeng's hand!

As the sword struck out, Qin Yun suddenly opened his mouth and let out a thunderous roar!

Roar——

The sound waves from the roar shattered the violent thunderous sword energy gathered on Qin Zhengfeng's sword!

Qin Zhengfeng was forced back more than ten meters by the roar, his ears ringing painfully, unable to hear anything, as if he had suddenly gone deaf, which filled him with an inexplicable fear.

Worse, a sound wave reverberated within him, preventing his inner energy from coalescing.

Qin Yun used a martial technique he had comprehended from the Heavenly Lion Totem Tatto—the Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound!

As everyone was shocked by the roar of the ancient beast, flames emanated from Qin Yun's left arm, burning off the sleeve and revealing his muscular arm.

A majestic and domineering Heavenly Lion totem was tattooed on his left arm, exuding an overwhelming aura even from afar.

With a shake of Qin Yun's left arm, a semi-transparent lion claw phantom materialized, appearing extremely sharp, a second martial technique he had comprehended from the Heavenly Lion Totem—the Heavenly Lion Fighting Dragon Claw!

Seeing this move from Qin Yun, Xiao Yanglong was reminded of Yue Kai, as Qin Yun had used this move to injure Yue Kai during the assessment at the Three Martial Academy.

This was an incredibly fearsome martial technique!

Yang Shiyue, seeing it again and so up close, couldn't help but show a look of horror.

It was the first time Qin Zhengfeng had seen it, and he was equally shocked.

Qin Yun took a quick step forward, wielding the Heavenly Lion Fighting Dragon Claw and performing the Wind-Cutting Six Forms.

The sharp and fearsome claws tore through the air, producing a heart-stopping sound as they sliced through the wind. This terrifying beast claw seemed capable of shredding everything.

Swish!

The claws raked the ground, leaving deep scratches. Although Qin Zhengfeng avoided it, his hair was cut and fell everywhere.

Most terrifyingly, the phantom claw that materialized was as sharp as a blade, clashing with the high-grade spirit weapon and producing a crisp clinking sound.

The Wind-Cutting Six Forms were performed consecutively—fierce, swift, and brutal!

Qin Zhengfeng managed to avoid them, but his body was already covered in wounds.

This terrifying martial technique stunned everyone, like a frenzied lion attacking with the ferocious aura of an ancient beast, possessing boundless strength.

Seeing Qin Yun gasping for breath, Qin Zhengfeng, with a sinister smile, quickly moved forward, only to be caught off guard by a sudden surge of powerful mental energy.

It was the Gathering Spirit Kill technique!

Seeing that Qin Zhengfeng's consciousness had fallen into a daze, Qin Yun knew he had succeeded and darted forward, delivering a heavy palm strike to Qin Zhengfeng's abdomen while activating the Soul Extraction technique from the Soul Refining Art.

In his semi-conscious state, Qin Zhengfeng, feeling the excruciating pain in his soul, screamed.

Qin Yun extracted Qin Zhengfeng's Martial Soul, temporarily storing it in his Dan Tian, and then used the Gathering Spirit Kill technique again, plunging Qin Zhengfeng back into a daze.

"I surrender!" Qin Zhengfeng screamed in pain.

Qin Yun, also exhausted, hurriedly tended to the wounds on his right arm.

"Quickly close the flag formation, I need to go in!" Empress Ye shouted in a fit of rage.

Zhuochuan was also closing the flag formation.

After Empress Ye entered, she hurriedly checked the condition of Qin Zhengfeng's Dan Tian. As soon as she probed it with her mental energy, her face turned extremely ugly.

"Martial Soul… the Martial Soul is gone, and the Inner Element is dissipating…" Empress Ye's voice trembled with immense grief and anger.

She fiercely looked at Qin Yun, her eyes filled with killing intent, and shouted angrily, "Qin Yun, I will kill you!"

Hearing this, Zhuochuan and the others immediately activated their strength to prepare to stop Empress Ye.

However, Empress Ye did not attack!

It was Duke Yan who rushed over from the other side!

Duke Yan pushed the Flying Swallow Step to its limit, charging over in an instant. Everyone's attention was on Empress Ye, so no one was prepared for Duke Yan's attack!

At that very moment, Qin Yun suddenly sensed the impending danger and immediately raised his left arm, striking towards the direction of the threat.

His arm swelled dramatically and erupted with terrifying thunder and fire, forming a roaring lion's head that flashed out with his palm strike!

Roar!

The thunderfire lion's head, majestic and roaring, clashed with Duke Yan's palm!

Boom!

The explosive heat wave blew everyone back, enveloping the entire hall.

Duke Yan, at the ninth level of Martial Body, was forced back several steps and spat out blood!

Qin Yun was also blown back and spat out blood!

Suddenly, Empress Ye launched her attack, swiftly stabbing Qin Yun in the back with a longsword. The speed was incredibly fast.

Although Qin Yun had been on guard against Empress Ye, he was able to quickly avoid the attack despite being slightly injured. As he dodged, he activated his strong Vajra Inner Strength, combined with the Bone Strengthening Qi, and forcefully punched Empress Ye's abdomen!

Empress Ye screamed and was flung away, her Inner Element shattered.

Zhuochuan and Hou Xingfeng immediately held down Duke Yan, preventing him from attacking again.

Meanwhile, Xie Wufeng and Du Gui rushed to Qin Yun's side to examine his injuries.

Murong Daren picked up Qin Yun's Giant Spirit King Hammer, feeling its weight, he was shocked.

"Qin Yun, you cursed wretch, you destroyed the Crown Prince's Martial Soul and Inner Element! I will make you wish you had never been born!" Empress Ye's voice was hoarse, her shrill voice filled with rage and malice.

Her once beautiful face was now distorted, warped with fury and hatred.

Qin Zhengfeng regained consciousness, but he was still dazed, knowing only that his Martial Soul had been severely damaged, unaware it had been extracted.

"Mother, my… my Inner Element and Martial Soul are gone…" Qin Zhengfeng's voice was filled with despair and grief.

Although Qin Yun was injured when he blocked Duke Yan's strike, the injury was not serious. The toughness of his Heavenly Lion arm was far more resilient than he had imagined.

With her Inner Element shattered, Empress Ye's eyes turned red with anger. Seeing Qin Yun stand up, she said fiercely, "Qin Yun, how dare you deny practicing dark arts? You, who have no Inner Element, how can you be so strong? Even those at the eighth level of Martial Body cannot match you. You must have practiced dark arts!"

"The Heavenly Lion Totem appears on his arm… just now, the lion's head he struck out was the same as the Heavenly Lion Totem in Hualing Martial Arts Academy!" said an elder in blue robes.

"The Heavenly Lion Totem, that's the inheritance of the ancient Heavenly Lion. How could he have obtained it?" Another elder also looked shocked.

Everyone's gaze immediately focused on Qin Yun's left arm, staring at the majestic beast totem.

Many elders, after seeing it clearly, were shocked to the extreme when they recalled the legends of the beast totem inheritance!

A burst of surprised voices erupted in the grand hall, all discussing the beast totem.

Xiao Yanglong was also stunned, his wide eyes trembling, staring at Qin Yun's left arm in disbelief.

The Heavenly Lion totem tattoo on it was perfectly fused with Qin Yun's arm, exuding a formidable aura that filled him with fear.

"No wonder his martial arts were so terrifying just now; it turns out they were all due to the Heavenly Lion Totem’s inheritance martial arts!" Duan Qian took a deep breath. He was quite familiar with Qin Yun but had only just found out.

An elder from the Blue Spirit Eastern Palace said gravely, "The most terrifying part of the Heavenly Lion Totem is the totem tattoo... When he came earlier, the puppet lion he rode was likely crafted using the totem tattoo."

"How can a human obtain such a powerful ancient beast totem?"

"It's fundamentally impossible; this is too absurd!"

"Obtaining the inheritance of a beast totem is too chaotic, although it is an incredibly terrifying thing!"

"We must recruit Qin Yun into our Northern Palace. Researching the beast totem alone will greatly benefit us."

The elders of the Blue Spirit Star Palace were all amazed, their faces filled with shock. After the initial shock, most of them were extremely envious, as the Heavenly Lion Totem was exceedingly precious and far rarer than earth-level martial arts.

Many people recalled how Qin Yun had soaked in the Heavenly Lion Pool for seven days, which, when mentioned, caused many more to express their astonishment.

Now everyone understood that Qin Yun's Heavenly Lion Totem inheritance came from the Heavenly Lion Pool.

Everyone in the hall was discussing the Heavenly Lion Totem.

Qin Zhengfeng and Empress Ye were stunned as they watched the noisy hall. The person they hated the most, Qin Yun, had actually obtained the extraordinary Heavenly Lion Totem inheritance.

Meanwhile, Qin Zhengfeng's Inner Element and Martial Soul had just been destroyed, creating such a stark contrast that filled him with extreme resentment.

"Qin Yun, your mother's remains are in my hands. If you want to retrieve them, divorce Xiao Yuelan and then make her agree to marry me; otherwise, my subordinates will feed your mother's remains to the dogs," Qin Zhengfeng's weak voice was sinister and vicious, his face twisted with madness and malice.

Empress Ye suddenly looked up and laughed maniacally, looking at Qin Yun. "If you want your mother's remains, you'll have to cut off your left arm and hand over the runes you possess."

The noisy hall suddenly fell silent.

Although Qin Zhengfeng and Empress Ye's actions were extremely vicious, they would obtain the Heavenly Lion Arm and high-grade runes by doing so.

Xiao Yuelan sneered, "The crown princes of the three empires are all the same; they only know how to threaten people with the remains of their deceased mothers! Now, two out of these three crown princes are facing a bad end!"

Xiao Yuelan glared at Qin Zhengfeng and said angrily, "I would rather die than marry someone like you."

Qin Zhengfeng ignored Xiao Yuelan. Now that he was crippled, he only wanted to threaten Qin Yun to gain the maximum benefit. He shouted at Qin Yun, "While you're at it, give me the 450 million crystal coins you just obtained as compensation for the damage you caused me!"

"What are you staring at? Write the divorce letter quickly, and then sever your arm, or else even if I die, I'll arrange for someone to feed your mother's remains to the dogs!" Qin Zhengfeng laughed wildly and viciously, "Qin Yun, in the end, you still lost to me; I am the ultimate winner."

Qin Yun was trembling with anger. Previously, Qi Meilian and Xiao Yuelan had also been threatened in a similar manner. Though he wasn't the one being threatened back then, he was still very angry, and now it was his turn.

Empress Ye sneered, "Qin Yun, if you don't believe us, feel free to try."

The entire hall fell silent as everyone watched Qin Yun to see if he would do as Qin Zhengfeng said.

Even powerful martial artists like Zhuochuan and the others were at a loss on how to handle such a difficult situation. After all, Qin Yun's mother's remains were likely in the hands of Empress Ye and her people.
