Chapter 0424: Dominant Force

The moment Meng Yangning was knocked back, everyone couldn’t believe their eyes!

The powerful and fierce warrior, in his berserk state, was actually knocked back by someone.

Everyone looked at Qin Yun in astonishment, because the power he had just unleashed was immensely powerful.

That kind of power was at least equivalent to the peak of the fourth martial level. Yet, Qin Yun was only at the second level.

Even Wei Zhongzheng was surprised by this. He knew Qin Yun had three Dao Pills and had a clear understanding of Qin Yun’s strength, but he still thought Qin Yun was a bit weaker than the berserk warrior.

However, the power of Qin Yun’s punch just now had exceeded the limits of the three Dao Pills!

After knocking Meng Yangning back, Qin Yun finally had a chance to take a breather.

Meng Yangning himself was also shocked. He seemed to sense a primal beast force, which was even stronger than the bloodline power he had released.

"I will force you to your knees!" Meng Yangning, in his berserk bloodline state, became even more aggressive after being provoked.

Meng Yangning’s dragon claws wildly slashed through the air, continuously clawing at Qin Yun from a distance. The crimson claw shadows engulfed the sky, covering most of the arena and enveloping Qin Yun.

Meng Yangning’s claw shadows were like a crimson storm, enveloping Qin Yun, making him feel as if his body was being sliced by blades.

It was only because Qin Yun’s body was strong enough that he wasn’t cut by the claw shadows. If he couldn’t withstand it, his body would definitely be torn to pieces.

"Get back!" Qin Yun roared, unleashing the Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound.

The deafening lion’s roar burst forth, shattering the overwhelming black claw shadows into a crimson mist, which dissipated with the shockwave.

Qin Yun lunged forward with the Star Profound Steps, charging towards Meng Yangning!

His fists were condensed with the Celestial Lion Thunder Force, and he unleashed a flurry of punches. As his fists struck out, a lion’s head formed, majestic yet ferocious.

Meng Yangning was terrified when he saw the golden lion’s head.

As a descendant of a bloodline family, he naturally recognized what it was.

That was an ancient Sky Lion!

The people from the bloodline families below were all overcome with fear!

Although their bloodlines were strong ancient beast bloodlines, they were far inferior to the Sky Lion.

In ancient times, the Sky Lion was a creature that could take down dragons, as powerful as a dragon itself.

Earlier, when Qin Yun used the Celestial Lion Thunder Force and the Heavenly Lion Roaring Sky Sound, the people from the bloodline families had a suspicion that Qin Yun was hiding a powerful force.

Now, seeing Qin Yun’s fists manifesting Sky Lion heads, they were certain that the power Qin Yun was displaying was related to the Sky Lion!

The Sky Lion could battle dragons!

Meng Yangning, with his dragon bloodline, was also intimidated by the Sky Lion’s power.

"You are the one who will lose!"

Qin Yun had long been dissatisfied with Meng Yangning. Now, his raging fists struck out rapidly, showing no mercy.

Qin Yun was now using his peak strength.

Meng Yangning, still in a frenzied state, was no longer as wild as before, for no matter how frenzied he became, Qin Yun always managed to suppress him.

In an instant, Meng Yangning found himself in a bitter struggle, completely overwhelmed by Qin Yun, unable to fight back.

Qin Yun's fists struck like two relentless hammers, smashing down relentlessly. Each strike resounded with a thunderous "boom boom boom," as if capable of shattering the earth.

His fists roared and surged with power, the roar of the Sky Lion continuously echoing throughout the square!

Periodically, massive golden Sky Lion heads materialized on the martial stage, erupting like phantoms, stunning the crowd.

Mu Fengxiao, standing atop the ritual pillars, was both astonished and reminded of Qin Yun's Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron.

Many in the crowd also recalled the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron!

The Martial Kings exchanged surprised remarks.

"Does Qin Yun truly possess the Sky Lion bloodline? What is his background?"

"The power he wields now is unmistakably that of the Sky Lion!"

"Could he be from a bloodline family?"

"Impossible! Our bloodline families have no trace of the Sky Lion! Moreover, such a potent bloodline is hard to manifest in a human, as our bodies can't endure the Sky Lion's power!" said a Bloodline Martial King.

"If he indeed possesses the Sky Lion bloodline... what could that mean?"

Wei Zhongzheng grasped the severity of the situation. If Qin Yun had acquired the bloodline on his own, other bloodline families would undoubtedly covet the Sky Lion bloodline!

Qin Yun grew anxious as he overheard the crowd's murmurs below the martial stage.

He feared revealing his Sky Lion bloodline would make him a target for multiple bloodline families.

Though suppressed, Meng Yangning clung on tenaciously, refusing to be defeated.

"Finish this quickly!" Qin Yun, to avoid any unforeseen incidents, decided to end the match as soon as possible, so he could enter the ancient garden sooner.

Meng Yangning's aura flared with a bloody light as he bellowed, "Qin Yun, I will devour you!"

Only Meng Yangning, standing on the martial stage, could truly sense the latent bloodline power within Qin Yun. In his frenzy, he grew ecstatic, his rationality utterly shattered.

In Meng Yangning's mind, there was only one intense thought: to devour Qin Yun!

Qin Yun seethed inwardly, "Damn it, he's figured out my Sky Lion bloodline!"

Meng Yangning erupted into a berserk rage, barreling through the tempest of fist energy toward Qin Yun, his maw agape and visage twisted with ferocity.

"Die!"

Seeing that the other intended to devour him, Qin Yun also showed no mercy.

His left arm suddenly flashed with thunder and fire, surging with a powerful energy. The muscles of his arm swelled, tearing the sleeve.

His arm was exposed, and the Sky Lion totem gradually appeared.

With a deep roar of the Sky Lion, Qin Yun's arm also manifested a huge claw. The claw tips were like sharp giant blades, entwined with thunder and fire.

Six Forms of Wind Slash!

With the Sky Lion's Dragon Subduing Claw unleashed, Qin Yun swung it, unleashing a torrent of Dao Force that shook the earth violently, threatening to tear it asunder.

The lion's claw came down with the force to split mountains and sever rivers, the roaring lion's cry resounding across the sky!

Six strikes in rapid succession, almost instantaneous!

Mu Fengxiao, standing on the array pillar, couldn’t react in time to stop it, and Meng Yangning was reduced to pieces, with those pieces burning in Purple Gold Flame.

A Bloodline Martial King was slain, and right in front of the family elders!

Everyone was shaken to their core!

What stunned everyone most was Qin Yun’s calm composure!

The crowd stared at the Meng family, holding their breath, many backed away, anticipating an explosive battle!

Qin Yun slowly lowered his hand, the massive lion’s claw fading away, and he let out a long sigh, clearly preparing for a second round of attack.

Victory or defeat was decided in a flash, with life and death resting in Qin Yun’s hands!

The quiet square erupted with the furious roars of the Meng family, their eyes blazing with rage as they glared at Qin Yun.

"Ah Ning!"

A middle-aged man bellowed, nearly unhinged, as he charged toward the arena.

Now, everyone could see the powerful Sky Lion totem etched on Qin Yun’s bare, muscular left arm!

No one had anticipated that Qin Yun held a totem inheritance and had even derived powerful totem martial arts from it!

Everyone quickly surmised that Qin Yun’s Sky Lion totem likely came from the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron.

Wei Zhongzheng also let out a long sigh. He knew Qin Yun was hiding his strength, but he never imagined it would be the formidable Sky Lion totem.

Hong Mengshu had witnessed Qin Yun’s lion claw before, but she hadn’t realized it was totem martial arts.

"Members of the Meng family, we share your grief!" Mu Fengxiao sighed deeply. "You witnessed it—it was a matter of Qin Yun or Meng Yangning’s life. I couldn’t stop it!"

Mu Fengxiao, a Xuan Martial realm warrior, stood unflinching before the Meng family’s Bloodline Martial King, slowly descending below the arena.

The Meng family shook with fury, their eyes locked on Qin Yun in the arena!

This outcome wasn’t what Qin Yun had desired.

Had Meng Yangning not been intent on devouring him, Qin Yun wouldn’t have struck so ruthlessly.

The Meng family, a bloodline clan from the Demon Beast Wasteland, exuded a fierce and intimidating aura.

Qin Yun harbored no regrets!

To Qin Yun, Meng Yangning was destined to become a monstrous demon.

Mu Fengxiao added, "The Martial King must remain to aid in opening the ancient garden’s gate! If you break your promise, you know the consequences!"

He shut down the arena’s array as Wei Zhongzheng swiftly joined Qin Yun.

Mu Fengxiao said, "The winning team will follow us tonight to the Garden Bridge! For now, go back and rest!"

Qin Yun and Wei Zhongzheng followed Mu Fengxiao into the Strange Patterns Hall, entering a suite.

The crowd quickly scattered, now realizing Qin Yun lacked the heavenly lion bloodline but possessed the Sky Lion totem—a power rivaling bloodline strength.

"Xiao Yun, I had no idea you had a totem heritage!" Wei Zhongzheng laughed happily.

"I didn’t want to reveal it, but I didn’t expect the strength of a bloodline warrior to be much stronger than I imagined!" Qin Yun smiled.

Mu Fengxiao said, "Qin Yun, if you were at the Martial Realm Third Layer, you could defeat that guy without using the power of the totem! Of course, that guy isn’t the strongest bloodline warrior."

"This group of young bloodline warriors isn’t the most talented! Among the bloodline families, the strongest bloodline warriors are those with totem heritage!"

Wei Zhongzheng nodded, "Those bloodline families all master the methods of engraving totem patterns! The fusion of bloodline and totem power, that ancient force, is truly formidable!"

Qin Yun possesses the Heavenly Lion Bloodline, but he still doesn’t know how to use it yet.

...

After resting, Qin Yun changed into a set of tiger-skin clothes, which had many Runes Equipment inside, and he also wore the Dragon Boots.

At night, Qin Yun and Wei Zhongzheng followed Mu Fengxiao and left the Qiwen Palace.

Martial Kings from various forces were also waiting outside.

The Martial King from the Totem Pavilion also appeared here, an elder.

Qin Yun felt uneasy under their gaze; his Sky Lion Totem is extremely precious, a treasure to the Totem Pavilion.
