Chapter 18: A Fit of Rage Leads to Murder (Part 1)

  "Drive!"

  Wearing a black tight-fitting suit, Qin Yu rode a black high-headed horse galloping on the main road, heading straight to Yanjing City alone. Above Qin Yu's head, a black eagle was flying with its wings spread wide, which was Qin Yu's pet 'Little Black'.

  Feeling the strong wind blowing, Qin Yu's face was full of enjoyment.

  "Haha, this feeling is really cool, shedding those two hundred pounds of weight my whole body feels as light as a feather." Qin Yu excitedly pushed off with both hands, doing a high-flying somersault on the horse, opening his arms to feel the rush of wind, and then accurately landing back on the horse's back.

  At the age of eight, he practiced extremely hard for five whole years. He hardly wasted any time, and with his muscles constantly absorbing internal energy, Qin Yu's five years of practice was equivalent to at least ten years of extreme training for an ordinary person. Qin Yu had become a true external martial arts expert.

  Her movements are light and agile, her speed is as fast as a swift rabbit, and her explosive power and strength are not something that an ordinary expert can match.

  "Drive, drive!" Qin Yu excitedly accelerated, the horse ran even more happily, and in an instant, only a string of smoke was left on the main road, but the figure had already disappeared at the end of the road.

  The horse galloped, the scenery on the side of the road was quickly left behind. Qin Yu suddenly slowed down and stopped, then jumped off the horse and ran towards a village by the roadside. Qin Yu would go to the city once or twice a year, and when he first entered the city from Yunwu Mountain Villa, he drank water in this village and became friends with some children in the village.

  "Dashan, Xiaolu." Qin Yu shouted as soon as he arrived at the village entrance.

  "Little Feather." A robust young man grasping an iron shovel ran out excitedly, his bare upper body revealing block after block of muscle, which contained explosive power. This was Qin Yu's good friend, Tie Shan, who had just turned sixteen this year.

  "Brother Feather." A little girl with a ponytail also ran out and suddenly hugged Qin Yu tightly. This little girl was Tie Shan's younger sister, Tie Xiao Lu, who was only eight years old this year.

  "Xiao Yu is here." Some villagers around also warmly greeted him, they were quite familiar with Qin Yu, after all, Qin Yu had been there several times. Qin Yu was dressed unlike ordinary people, but he treated others extremely well, which was also the reason why the villagers liked Qin Yu.

  "Xiao Lu, Da Shan, it's been half a year since I came here, are you guys doing well?" Ai Lian stroked Xiao Lu's head and asked with a smile.

  "It's all good." Tieshan smiled and said, while Xiaolu's big round eyes sparkled beside him. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Brother Yu, you must be thirsty! I'll go get some water." She didn't wait for Qin Yu to respond before running towards her own home.

  When Qin Yu first came to this village, it was because he was thirsty and wanted a drink of water.

  "Big Mountain, I'm going to the city soon. What do you want to buy? I'll help you buy it." Qin Yu asked. Tie Shan thought for a moment and smiled awkwardly, "I want to buy a better battle knife. The money I've saved is almost enough to buy one."

  "Return the money you've saved, what nonsense! I'll go buy one, and consider it a gift from me to you." Qin Yu patted Tie Shan's shoulder with a smile. Tie Shan was taken aback for a moment before hastily saying, "How can that be, good battle knives are very expensive, how could..."

  "Brother Yu, drink some water." Xiaolu rushed over with a bowl of water.

  Qin Yu took the water and smiled at Xiaolü: "No matter what, you must have something on your mind, say it, is there something you want me, Brother Qin Yu, to do for you?" Qin Yu had already seen through this little demon's thoughts.

  "Uh... I've been found out!" Xiaolu's big eyes blinked twice, and her face turned red as she said sheepishly: "Brother Yu, I want a stuffed doll, the kind with a big red flower embroidered on its head!"

  Qin Yu smiled and pinched Xiaolu's nose, saying: "I know, a doll with a big red flower on its head, right? Don't worry, I'll definitely help you buy one." Qin Yu liked Xiaolu very much. When he first came to this place, Xiaolu was only four or five years old.

  After drinking the water, Qin Yu returned the bowl to Xiaolu and said to Tieshan and Xiaolu: "Dashan, Xiaolu, I'll go to the city first. When I come back, I'll bring what you want."

  "Xiao Yu, here's the money." Tieshan held out a handful of copper coins, but didn't know what to say. Qin Yu, on the other hand, ran towards the horse and with one jump, he was two or three meters away, directly landing on the horseback. Then, following a loud neigh from the horse, Qin Yu disappeared before their eyes.

  "Goodbye, Brother Yu." Xiaolu waved her little hand in a hurry.

  ……

  Entering the Imperial City, Qin Yu directly headed towards the Wang Fu.

  "Uncle Li, help me catch the horse!" Qin Yu directly jumped off the horse and did a flip in mid-air before landing on the ground at an extremely fast speed. The black eagle dived down from the sky and landed directly on Qin Yu's shoulder, it was indeed the black eagle.

  The two burly guards at the entrance of the Wang Estate immediately knelt down on one knee and respectfully said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

  Qin Yu always returns to the Wang Fu every time he comes to Yanjing City, and the people in the Wang Fu also recognize Qin Yu. Perhaps the reason why he came to the Wang Fu is that Qin Yu wants to see if his father, the king, is there or not.

  The manager of the Wang Fu, Ge Min, immediately walked over with a smile: "Xiao Yu, the king has not returned yet." Ge Min said it directly because he knew that every time Qin Yu returned to the Wang Fu, she would ask about the king's affairs, so he mentioned it first.

  "Oh." Qin Yu's face fell slightly, but then he smiled and said, "Grandfather Ge, take me to the armory."

  "Then come with me." Ge Min said with a smile.

  The armory is not a place that ordinary people can enter. There are several secret places in the palace, such as the armory and the secret scripture pavilion. However, there are only a few people who can enter these places freely. Prince Qin De, the three princes, Xu Yuan, Lian Yan, and the general manager of the palace. Even the deputy general manager of the palace is not qualified to enter.

  Pavilions and terraces, painted beams and carved rafters, winding corridors, courtyards within courtyards.

  The Wang Fu occupies a vast area, and Qin Yu walked for a long time behind Ge Min before entering an underground secret vault. This underground secret vault is what is known as the Cang Bing Ku, where every single weapon is extraordinary.

  "Xiao Yu, you can choose any weapon you like, I'll leave first." Ge Min said with a smile.

  "Grandfather Ge, have someone prepare a battle knife, a Xuan Tie battle knife! Also, prepare a rag doll. Remember one thing, the rag doll's head must be embroidered with a big red flower." Qin Yu hastily instructed Ge Min, as Yanjing City was extremely large and Qin Yu knew where to buy a battle knife but didn't know where to buy a rag doll. It would be easiest to have someone from the Wang Fu take care of it.

  Ge Min was stunned: "Doll? With a big red flower embroidered on it?" Ge Min looked at Qin Yu several times, no matter how he looked, he couldn't imagine that Qin Yu, who was already as tall as him, would like dolls. However, since Qin Yu had this request, he wouldn't refuse.

  "Alright, Xiao Yu, since you like dolls and especially those with big red flowers, I'll have someone buy one for you right away." Ge Min said with a smile before walking out of the Armory.

  "This..." Qin Yu was stunned for a moment, "I like dolls, and also like those with big red flowers?" It took Qin Yu a while to react, and he immediately turned around and hastily said: "Grandfather Ge..." But at this moment, Ge Min had already left.

  Qin Yu couldn't help but think, what kind of thing is this. He was actually misunderstood to like dolls, and even worse, dolls with big red flowers.

  "Whatever." Qin Yu smiled indifferently and began to carefully search for the "Fish Intestine Sword". There were dozens of weapons in this secret armory, all of which belonged to what was known as "Celestial Treasures". Most of them were made from good minerals found in the Desolate Expanse and refined.

  Weapons can be roughly divided into mortal and immortal categories.

  Ordinary goods are some mineral materials that can be easily found on the continent of Penglai, refined and made. While fairy goods are extremely rare, they are either found in the wilderness or made from materials obtained from the bodies of wild beasts in the wilderness, of course, ordinary goods also have upper, middle and lower grades, and fairy goods also have upper, middle and lower grades.

  The Fish Intestine Sword is just a lower-grade xianpin short sword. However, in the entire arsenal, there's only this one short sword of its kind.

  "Fish Intestine Sword." Qin Yu looked at the short sword in front of him, this short sword was about an inch wide and just over seven inches long, looking very dull and unremarkable. Such a dark short sword is quite rare, "I guess it's probably made from that special material of meteoric iron from outside the sky."

  Qin Yu held a short sword, this black lacquered fish intestine sword did not reflect any light at all. Killing people in the dark of night would make it absolutely impossible for others to detect.

  "Whoosh!"

  Qin Yu's hand made a swift and mysterious motion, and the Fish Intestine Sword completely disappeared, vanishing into Qin Yu's hand.

  Yu's One Sword has a saying of "hiding the sword and drawing the sword". Qin Yu had been cultivating for almost two years, and this "hiding the sword" was already as clear as fire. The short sword was hidden, and outsiders couldn't detect it at all. Moreover, this fish intestine sword was only over seven inches long, which didn't affect Qin Yu's close combat in the slightest.

  Suddenly, Qin Yu's right hand moved, and two sharp sounds echoed in the air. Qin Yu's right hand was still as it was at first, with nothing on it.

  If there is a master, you can see clearly that in the blink of an eye, the Fish Intestine Sword appeared in Qin Yu's hand, then swiftly slashed twice at extreme speed, and afterwards the Fish Intestine Sword instantly vanished from his hand. The speed was extremely fast. From this, one can see the swiftness of 'Concealing the Sword'.

  "'Yu's One Sword' sword hiding technique is indeed impressive, but the 'sword hiding' technique described in the 'Ancestral Dragon Scripture' would take ten years to reach my level of mastery, yet I achieved it in just two years. It seems that what's described in the 'Ancestral Dragon Scripture' isn't entirely accurate either." Qin Yu sighed.

  Qin Yu was wrong.

  For a general master, it would indeed take ten years or more. However, Qin Yu's muscles had absorbed internal energy, and his flexibility was extremely strong. Moreover, Qin Yu often trained his finger dexterity and speed, which made his muscle control ability extremely high as well. With good muscle flexibility and strong muscle control, Qin Yu could easily hide the Fish Intestine Sword through his muscles, but how could a general master possibly cultivate their body to such an extent?

  He 'hid his sword' for two years, catching up with ordinary people in ten years, which is also extremely normal. From this, it can be seen that Zhao Yun Xing's so-called 'first cultivate a perfect and coordinated body, and then train the method of attack' principle is how correct.

  Sharpening a knife does not mistake chopping firewood is this truth!

  There were other weapons in the armory, such as swords, guns and clubs, which Qin Yu didn't even glance at.

  "It would be great if there was a fist sleeve that could enhance the strength of my finger joints." Qin Yu looked carefully, his finger joints were strong and extremely hard, but he couldn't fight bare-handed or with divine weapons. If he had good protective sleeves for his finger joints, it would be fine.

  There is still one more update tonight!
