    Chapter 0934: Pig-Head Charm

    City Lord Murong, who had been smiling earlier, now wore a dark expression. His grandchildren were utterly outmatched by Qin Yun—they weren’t even on the same level!

    Anyone with eyes could see that Qin Yun was highly experienced in combat, with superb movement techniques and formidable strength. This was far beyond the fighting prowess a Runes Master should possess!

    Those royal-grade weapons were all stuck to Qin Yun’s Half-Immortal Shield.

    Qin Yun grinned. "Will you surrender now?"

    The siblings had turned into pig heads—an absurd and downright comical sight.

    Murong Yuwei lunged forward, gripping her broadsword, and charged at Qin Yun from behind, bringing it down in a vicious slash!

    Qin Yun reacted instantly and swiftly raised his Half-Immortal Shield.

    The blade Murong Yuwei swung was also pulled by an invisible force, snapping onto the shield.

    With a shake of his arm, Qin Yun unleashed a shockwave, knocking Murong Yuwei back.

    At that moment, the brothers who had lost their weapons suddenly burst with explosive energy. From a distance, they unleashed blasts of martial force crackling with royal energy!

    A flurry of palm strikes and fist blurs surged toward Qin Yun like a raging tide.

    Qin Yun blocked with his Half-Immortal Shield, let out a muffled grunt, and unleashed his Earthquake Art!

    Boom!

    The Earthquake Art erupted from Qin Yun’s arm with a deafening boom.

    An invisible shockwave rippled outward, deflecting all the martial energy, sending it scattering wildly across the arena in storm-like gales howling violently.

    "Just surrender already. I don’t want to hurt you," Qin Yun said coldly.

    "You’re the one who should surrender!" one of the men shouted defiantly, launching another attack—this time with a devastating thunderous strike.

    The others followed suit.

    Murong Yuwei hovered at the edges, biding her time.

    A youth sneered, "He wouldn’t risk seriously hurting us! He’s afraid of our grandfather—we can attack him without worry!"

    It was obvious to everyone that Qin Yun was holding back.

    After all, they were within the Murong Estate, and the mighty City Lord Murong was watching from below.

    If Qin Yun injured the City Lord’s grandchildren, he’d face serious consequences—hence his reluctance to go all out.

    Murong Zhangwu and the others exploited this, attacking boldly.

    "Fine. You asked for it—no more holding back!" Qin Yun’s voice turned icy. He wasn’t afraid of the consequences.

    If things got ugly, Old Feitian would cover for him.

    The first youth to charge at Qin Yun sneered viciously, swinging his arm like a battle-axe toward Qin Yun’s head.

    Two others flanked Qin Yun from behind, striking swiftly.

    Meanwhile, Murong Zhangwu leaped into the air, preparing to attack from above!

    Murong Yuwei held a glittering golden talisman in her hand, waiting for an opportunity.

    Qin Yun, seeing their intent to strike mercilessly, felt a surge of anger and swiftly unleashed the Pain Divine Arts.

    The invisible force released by the Pain Divine Arts instantly sent the five youths surrounding him writhing in agony!

    The sudden agony disrupted their gathered energy.

    Qin Yun snorted disdainfully and swung his HalfImmortal Shield, smashing it toward their swine-like faces.

    Bang! Bang! Bang!

    Qin Yun wielded the shield without holding back, channeling his shockwave force. THWACK!

    Murong Zhangwu and the others were struck heavily on the head by the shield, immediately bloodied and screaming in pain.

    The crowd of ten or twenty thousand in the plaza erupted in gasps of shock!

    City Lord Murong and the elders of the Murong family also looked on grimly.

    Their proud juniors were getting completely trounced on the dueling stage.

    What humiliated them most was that they had ganged up on a single opponent yet were getting beaten.

    "Bastard, I'll destroy you!" Murong Yuwei, standing at a distance, flung her golden talisman with a furious cry.

    To her credit, Murong Yuwei's talisman was formidable. Once unleashed, it transformed into a golden lightning bolt, locking onto Qin Yun!

    "Just a talisman!" Qin Yun thought dismissively, blocking it directly with his HalfImmortal Shield.

    Boom! Boom!

    The lightning struck the HalfImmortal Shield, flashing several times before erupting in deafening thunderclaps.

    Though Qin Yun blocked the talisman's lightning strike, the impact still forced him back several steps.

    "You damn cheater! That shield is an immortal artifact!" Murong Yuwei shouted.

    Qin Yun activated the Vanishing Shadow Ceasing Breath technique, his body and aura disappearing completely.

    Murong Yuwei could no longer see Qin Yun but knew he was about to attack her!

    Sure enough, Qin Yun suddenly appeared beside her.

    The moment he materialized, he swung his shield at her swine-like face. THWACK!

    Boom!

    Murong Yuwei was sent flying, landing beside her brothers before bursting into tears.

    "They've lost!" City Lord Murong sighed helplessly and declared.

    Once the barrier lifted, several middle-aged men stepped forward to check Murong Yuwei and the others' wounds, which were not too severe—they would recover in a few days.

    "What kind of talisman did you use?" City Lord Murong asked. "Can you help them recover?"

    "I used a Pig-Head Talisman, which generates a peculiar force that puffs up someone's head into a hog's head!" Qin Yun chuckled with a smirk, stepping forward with a wave of his hand to dispel the effect, returning Murong Yuwei and the others to normal.

    The crowd erupted in laughter. The Pig-Head Talisman had the whole crowd stunned—who knew such a weird talisman even existed, that could turn people into pig-heads!

    That talisman was something Lan Fengjin and Liu Jingmeng made for fun—they collaborated to create a few. It was also recorded in that Imperial Talisman Codex.

    "Old Man Mò Róng, remember what you promised!" Ying Chengyu walked over and said with a low chuckle.

    "I never go back on my word!" City Lord Mò Róng looked at Qin Yun with some displeasure. "Brother Yun, your strength isn’t weak at all. Why did you act weak?"

    Qin Yun smiled. "That’s because I thought they were all very strong, so I assumed I couldn’t beat them!"

    Upon hearing this, Murong Yuwei burst into tears again. "Grandpa, teach him a lesson! This guy acted weak but totally tricked us!"

    Qin Yun found it somewhat amusing and explained, "But I’m clearly at the late-stage Martial King Realm! Among the six of you, five are peak Martial Kings, and the one at the mid-stage Martial King Realm cultivates three core elixirs—his strength rivals a peak Martial King! Facing six peak Martial Kings, it wasn’t an easy win for me!"

    "You used an immortal artifact—that’s unfair!" Murong Yuwei cried out.

    "That was just a Half-Immortal artifact!" Qin Yun removed the imperial artifact from the Half-Immortal Shield and returned it to them.

    City Lord Mò Róng said angrily, "You lost—end of story! You were outclassed—don’t blame anyone else! Six peak Martial Kings against one late-stage Martial King, and you still lost. Who else can you blame?"

    Chastised by her grandfather, Murong Yuwei didn’t dare to cry anymore.

    "Grandpa, what happened? Who made Xiao Wei cry?" A magnetic male voice suddenly drifted from afar.

    "Big Brother is here!" Murong Yuwei had just stopped crying, but upon hearing that voice, her eyes welled up again.

    Behind Murong Yuwei, a flash of white light appeared, and then a towering figure in white robes appeared.

    The white-robed youth had a light stubble, sharp sword-like brows, and eyes bright as stars. His sharp, handsome features carried a faint smile, adding to his charm and poise.

    "Big Brother, I was bullied! Grandpa didn’t even help me!" Murong Yuwei quickly ducked behind the youth, sobbing.

    Ying Chengyu whispered to Qin Yun, "This guy is Murong Tianzhe, a young Emperor Wu! His strength is formidable—he’s Old Man Mò Róng’s eldest grandson and trains at the Divine Sword Pagoda of the Hundred Towers Sect."

    At that moment, many young noblewomen in the crowd erupted into screams.

    "Murong Tianzhe, I love you!"

    "Tianzhe is so handsome—way better-looking than that so-called Grand Master!"

    "Tianzhe, teach that Grand Master a lesson! He’s too arrogant!"

    "My husband is one of the strongest Emperor Wu in the Divine Sword Pagoda. Beating a Martial King is like beating a child!"

    A chorus of admirers below shouted all sorts of things.

    Qin Yun was annoyed—he hadn’t been arrogant at all.

    Murong Tianzhe looked at Qin Yun and smiled. "Brother Yun, right? Please don’t take it to heart."

    Murong Yuwei huffed. "Big Brother, hurry up and teach him a lesson! This jerk turned me into a pig’s head and beat me up real bad!"

    Murong Tianzhe was reasonable. After learning what happened, he pinched Murong Yuwei’s cheek and said, "Xiao Wei, if you want to teach him a lesson, train hard and do it yourself."

    "Big Brother, you don’t love me anymore!" Murong Yuwei burst into tears again.

    City Lord Mò Róng laughed. "Xiao Wei, you’ve been crying nonstop since you got beaten up! See how pleased Brother Yun looks—he enjoys making spoiled brats like you cry!"

    Qin Yun seethed at the old man in his head for stirring up trouble—he wasn’t happy at all.

    Murong Yuwei quickly wiped her tears and glared at Qin Yun, shouting, "You jerk who picks on girls! You’re a womanizer!"

    Qin Yun looked helpless. At least he'd gotten the beast horn—getting chewed out was worth it.

    What reassured him was that City Lord Murong was also pretty easygoing and didn't hassle Qin Yun.

    "Bro, why are you only coming now?" Murong Zhangwu asked.

    "I had a match with a friend, so I was a bit late!" Murong Tianzhe replied with a smile.

    "Bro, were you fighting Xie Wufeng? Did you win?" Murong Yuwei asked eagerly.

    "It was a draw!" Murong Tianzhe said with a bitter smile. "It's hard for us to determine a winner!"

    Qin Yun's stomach dropped—Murong Tianzhe was actually friends with Xie Wufeng! This also made him realize Xie Wufeng's strength, as he could actually go toe-to-toe with an Emperor Wu!

    Murong Yuwei whispered, "Bro, Xie Wufeng is truly amazing. Even with just one arm and not being an Emperor Wu yet, he can still match you! If he becomes an Emperor Wu, wouldn't you be unable to defeat him?"

    "He's a sword cultivator and has comprehended some insane sword skills. He's a prodigy!" Murong Tianzhe said.

    Qin Yun felt that he would soon meet Xie Wufeng.

    Qin Yun followed Ying Chengyu and Old Feitian as they stepped down from the dueling platform.

    City Lord Murong boomed, "Everyone, this is my eldest grandson, Murong Tianzhe! At the Martial Emperor Realm Initial Stage, anyone who is at the Initial or Middle Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm can challenge him! Take him down, and you'll get ten Superior Imperial Source Stones!"
