Chapter 0463 Boundless Rage

Chapter 0463 Boundless Rage

Zhao Jingyu was confident he could easily defeat Qin Yun, but there were many restrictions here that prevented him from taking action.

With a visage twisted in anger, he coldly snapped at Qin Yun, "You thief, do you even realize why the Runes Temple has turned its back on you? Because you’re nothing but a rune thief!"

"You’re powerless and poor, born into nothing. Yet you’ve got your hands on rare runes and can whip up Demon Chasing Talismans! If you didn’t steal them, where the hell did you get them?"

"The Runes Temple just lacks the proof to nail you for stealing those runes!"

Qin Yun, young and without a master’s guidance, certainly sparked suspicion in many minds.

"Are the disciples from the Spirit Wasteland sects really that clueless? Is my rune talent a lie too?"

"I stumbled upon the rare runes I possess. Why do you keep accusing me of stealing them?"

Qin Yun sneered, looking at the elders of the Runes Temple behind Zhao Jingyu.

An elder from the Runes Temple stepped up and declared, "Qin Yun, the runes you’ve got, even our Runes Temple doesn’t have. They’re incredibly rare runes!"

"Since you stumbled upon them, you ought to share them with us! Runes Masters share their runes with the Runes Temple, and we’ll spread their fame!"

"But you’re selfish, hoarding them for yourself! That’s exactly why the Runes Temple has ditched you! Besides, those runes might’ve been left by one of our Runes Temple’s predecessors!"

Zhao Jingyu snapped, "Qin Yun, you hearing this? Why don’t you just hand over the damn runes? You nailed that big jar guess, probably cheated with those mysterious runes, huh?"

The Runes Temple folks, who’d long smelled a rat, urged, "Qin Yun, hand over those runes, and the Runes Temple will recognize you as a Runes Master!"

Qin Yun was blindsided by the Runes Temple’s ulterior motives. The Runes Temple’s top brass had always lusted after his rare runes.

"Runes Temple, I, Qin Yun, no longer care for your Runes Master certification!" Qin Yun said, taking out a platinum badge.

Everyone could see that the badge had three stars—it was the badge of an advanced Runes Master!

Among the onlookers, there were many disciples from bloodline families, and they were all shocked upon seeing this badge!

Qin Yun, so young, was already an advanced Runes Master!

"He has a Black Martial Soul. Even if his rune talent is remarkable, without advancing in cultivation, he cannot become a Runes Master!"

"To become a Runes Master, one must possess at least the cultivation of the Spirit Martial realm!"

"Such a genius, yet abandoned by the Runes Temple, must be due to the Dark Soul Curse!"

"What a pity, with such remarkable talent, yet limited by the Dark Soul Curse!"

Hong Yan, Murong Daren, and Xie Wufeng all knew Qin Yun's rune talent was high, but they never expected Qin Yun to be an advanced Runes Master!

Qin Yun placed the badge on the ground, took out the Giant Spirit King Hammer, and with a powerful strike, made a "boom" sound.

"This damn badge, I no longer care for it—go to hell!" He threw the flattened badge at the feet of the Runes Temple elder.

Zhao Jingyu was also somewhat surprised; talents like Qin Yun are rare even in the Spirit Wasteland, but he mocked, "Qin Yun, limited by the Dark Soul Curse, unable to break through in cultivation, this is retribution, hahaha..."

The elder from the Runes Temple was also very angry because their Runes Temple had been provoked.

"Qin Yun, since you are an advanced Runes Master, then my Puppet Beast was also destroyed by you? Pay me back!" Zhao Jingyu, thinking of his Puppet Beast, coldly said.

Qin Yun coldly replied, "First prove it was me who destroyed it!"

"Shut your mouth!" Zhao Jingyu roared, launching a punch at Qin Yun.

Qin Yun had been on high alert. Seeing Zhao Jingyu attack, he instantly retaliated with a punch!

The moment he struck, he unleashed the Celestial Lion Thunder Force, creating a deafening thunderclap that sent Zhao Jingyu flying.

In the ancient martial city, right in front of the Runes Hall, everyone was stunned and hastily retreated.

"Qin Yun, you have some nerve!" An elder bellowed in fury, swiftly flying over and casting a net to ensnare Qin Yun.

Soon after, several elders at the 9th Layer of the Martial Realm produced various spirit talismans to subdue Qin Yun.

Qin Yun swiftly sent a mental message to Xie Wufeng and Xiao Yuelan, urging them not to intervene.

This was the Runes Hall’s territory, and many factions were allied with them!

Numerous warriors at the 9th Layer of the Martial Realm were present. If Xie Wufeng and the others acted, they would undoubtedly be captured.

"You will be imprisoned for three years!" The elder said coldly. "You’ve broken the laws of the ancient martial city by engaging in unsanctioned combat."

"Why imprison only me? Zhao Jingyu attacked too!" Qin Yun asked angrily, his voice icy.

The elder from the Runes Hall sneered, "You destroyed his property first and provoked him with your words, which incited his intent to attack you! In fact, he didn’t truly intend to attack you!"

"But you unleashed such immense power to injure him, and that’s your fault! Take him to the dungeon and lock him up for three years!"

Qin Yun was ensnared by several nets, with various spirit talismans affixed to his body, leaving him unable to resist.

He clenched his teeth, his eyes brimming with malice, and his words cutting like knives: "Runes Hall, Zhao Jingyu, just you wait. I, Qin Yun, will not rest until I’ve settled this score with you!"

"Haha, you? Forget you, even your Nine Extremes Profound Sect will soon be obliterated by us!" Zhao Jingyu laughed as he saw Qin Yun being captured, walking over and kicking and punching Qin Yun.

Xiao Yuelan’s eyes were filled with killing intent, and Xie Wufeng closed his eyes, both suppressing their rage.

If Qin Yun hadn’t urged them not to intervene earlier, they would have undoubtedly rushed over and killed Zhao Jingyu!

Zhao Jingyu continued to slap and beat Qin Yun, laughing maniacally: "What Wuhuang’s top Martial Realm 3rd Layer? It’s all nonsense! In my eyes, you’re just trash, only fit to be trampled underfoot!"

No one dared to speak up, as this was the Runes Hall’s doing!

When the Runes Hall targeted someone, that person was bound to suffer, especially on the Runes Hall’s turf!

Qin Yun truly hadn’t expected the Runes Hall to stoop so low, which only fueled his anger.

"Take him away!"

The elder from the Runes Hall shouted, worried that Zhao Jingyu might kill Qin Yun, which would be hard to explain later.

Suddenly, someone whispered: "Qin Yun has the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron and the Sky Lion Totem… those are extremely valuable!"

"Could it be that the Runes Hall wants to obtain these things?"

Everyone suddenly realized that even the Runes Hall, known for its upright conduct, couldn’t resist such temptation and had captured Qin Yun!

…

Qin Yun was thrown into the dungeon. Although he was severely injured, he had the Tree Totem and Runes Equipment, which allowed him to recover quickly.

The pitch-black dungeon was lined with black iron and various arrays, making it nearly impossible to escape, even for those at the Spirit Martial Realm.

With the Piercing Mystic Art, Qin Yun knew escaping wouldn’t be difficult.

That's why he urged Xie Wufeng and Xiao Yuelan to hold back—if all three were captured, escape would be nearly impossible.

"Once I heal, I'm getting out of here! Qiwen Hall, you’ve crossed me—don’t expect mercy!" Qin Yun gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and suppressed the fury in his heart!

Five days passed, and it was early morning!

The dungeon remained pitch black, devoid of windows or any light.

Qin Yun’s injuries were completely healed.

Suddenly, a jailer entered, carrying a glowing stone that lit up the cell.

"Master Zhao Jingyu sent this for you," the jailer said, placing a long box outside the cell.

Qin Yun rushed to the box and opened it, revealing two withered arms.

"Whose arms are these?" Qin Yun's heart seemed to stop abruptly, his eyes wide as he stared at the arms in the box.

He had an idea of whose arms they were but didn’t dare to confirm it.

"Master Zhao said these are the old woman’s arms—a repayment for your 20,000 Purple Crystal Coins."

The jailer burst into laughter and stomped on Qin Yun's head: "You’re digging your own grave by crossing Master Zhao! Remember, this is Qiwen Hall’s turf, and Master Zhao’s sect in Linghuang has strong ties here. His sect and Qiwen Hall are close allies!"

When Qin Yun realized the arms were the old woman’s, he was engulfed by uncontrollable rage and hatred.

He stood frozen, unflinching even as the jailer repeatedly stomped on his head.

Overwhelmed by fury, his mind went blank.

He was so enraged he could’ve cried. He didn’t know if it was because of him that the old woman had suffered such torment.

He’d only bought her Thunder Spirit Fruit to help her out.

Yet, despite his help, she’d suffered Zhao Jingyu’s wrath.

Suddenly, the faces of Qiwen Hall’s members flashed in his mind.

He’d assumed Qiwen Hall’s authority would protect the old woman from retaliation.

But he’d been dead wrong.

He never imagined Qiwen Hall would stoop so low, shielding a scoundrel like Zhao Jingyu.

This was why Zhao Jingyu had retaliated, severing the old woman’s arms.

In a moment of clarity, Qin Yun took a deep breath, channeling his fury into his three Dao Pills, unleashing boundless rage.

He suddenly grabbed the jailer’s foot, yanked it hard, and dragged the jailer into the cell.

The burly jailer’s massive body was forcibly pulled through the narrow iron bars, causing it to deform and shatter, leaving a bloody mess.

After his rage subsided, Qin Yun became extremely calm and quickly took out a Soundproofing Talisman to silence the noise.

The burly jailer screamed in agony.

The jailer, at the fourth level of the Martial Dao, never expected that he would be so brutally dealt with by a severely injured prisoner.

"Tell me, how is that old woman now?" As he spoke, he extracted the jailer’s Martial Soul and took out his Dao Pill.

"I... I don't know!" The jailer was terrified to the core, his voice trembling with pain.

"You don’t know? Then go die!" Qin Yun's voice turned cold as he struck down with his palm.

The palm infused with the Dao Force of Raging Nether Sun instantly turned the jailer into a cloud of black smoke.
