Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 159 Rules

With a sigh, Qin Ming waved his hand, restoring the scissors to their original state, which then fell back into Wu Liuqi's hands.

Then he began to explain the reason, "You should be able to sense it, right? Tell me about it."

Wu Liuqi scratched his head, but still became slightly serious as he recalled the Demon Blade fragments and explained, "...Senior, your true energy is not at all on the same level as mine. You didn't use much power, and your control wasn't very precise, but you are still much stronger than me."

Nodding, Wu Liuqi's comprehension was also quite good.

It has nothing to do with learning ability or anything like that. Being able to learn something doesn't mean you can master it, but comprehension can help you master it to some extent.

"Just having the ability to control qi isn't enough. Lanminghua should have told you to concentrate your qi into one point as much as possible to increase the power of your qi-controlled scissors. But tell me, how many times have your scissors broken?"

Qin Ming asked.

Wu Liuqi glanced at the scissors in his hand, "..."

Clearly, he had lost count of how many times it had broken.

"That's because your Qi quality isn't high enough, and that's why you can't fully control the Demon Blade."

Talking is no substitute for demonstrating.

Qin Ming raised his hand, and Wu Liuqi handed him the Demon Blade.

The next moment, Qin Ming swung his knife to the side without warning.

Zheng!

A sharp sound of a blade pierced the void, and Wu Liuqi's pupils dilated slightly. Although nothing seemed to have changed around him, he felt his hair stand on end!

If that knife had been aimed at me, I would have died!

This was his first reaction, triggered by his intuition and instinct, before he even had time to react!

The body sensed it first.

"The Demon Blade absorbs your energy because your energy is not strong enough. You think you need to rely on its power, which is wrong in itself."

Qin Ming released his grip immediately, and in an instant, the demonic blade shattered into countless fragments that appeared all around, spinning wildly!

Whoosh! The fragments instantly transformed into a storm of sharp blades!

Each fragment is stronger than the Qi-controlled scissors I used at full power!

And... very soon.

Looking at the fragments of the demonic sword around him, Wu Liuqi clearly felt that there was no way he could escape from here!

Even with his superb reflexes and unparalleled Qilin Step, it's still the same!

Clang! A resounding clang!

The next moment, with a slight thought from Qin Ming, the demonic blade instantly reassembled and returned to Wu Liuqi's front.

"Weapons are ultimately inanimate objects. If you can't control them, they won't care who you are and will definitely hurt you. But if you can control them, it doesn't matter what they are."

In short, what he said was that one should not rely too much on the Demon Blade, as this would only limit the improvement of one's own strength.

……

Back to the present.

Although Wu Liuqi was worried that Mei Hua Shisan would go to find Qingfeng alone, he still trained even harder.

Qin Ming has already demonstrated the power of the Qi Transformation level.

Even during his "Seventh" period, he had only just begun to understand Qi Transformation. His strength relied too heavily on the Demon Blade Thousand Blades in his hand. If it weren't for the Demon Blade, his attack power would be greatly reduced given his level of Qi Transformation.

His true mastery of Qi transformation was revealed when he used scissors.

Although she can manipulate qi in various ways, without the Demon Blade, Qi's strength is actually only at the top-tier level. At most, she has strong reaction and combat awareness, and can only hold her own against top-tier experts.

It doesn't reach the level of fighting against opponents of a higher level.

However, Wu Liuqi eliminated some of Qi's shortcomings but also inherited many of her strengths.

hum!

The scissors, now split in two, spun rapidly, transforming into a blue cutting disc that hurtled towards the distant boulder.

Ding! Ding ding!

Qin Ming glanced over and noticed that although Wu Liuqi hadn't improved much, his progress was quite obvious. He then looked at Mei Hua Thirteen, who was distracted because she wanted to find Qing Feng.

"Did your master tell you what kind of person I am?"

"Ok?"

Coming to her senses, Mei Hua Thirteen realized that she was currently using the Azure Cloud Flowing Water Sword to stab Qin Ming, and she was immediately shocked!

Oops!

Ding! Boom!

Qin Ming raised his hand and precisely caught the sword's edge, instantly preventing the full force of Plum Blossom Thirteen's attack from advancing even an inch!

However, a residual wave of true energy still spread out from behind Qin Ming, neutralizing the force.

Mei Hua Thirteen snapped out of her daze, and in shock, withdrew her attack, lowering her head. "I'm sorry, Grandmaster, I..."

"It's alright. Tell me, has Qingfeng mentioned me to you?"

Qin Ming spoke again.

Mei Hua Thirteen was a little reserved. "Yes, Master said that your martial arts are very strong and that you are the medical sage of Xuanwu Kingdom."

"that's it?"

Qin Ming frowned slightly, showing little interest in this assessment. "How did he accept you as his disciple?"

"It's because I've always followed my master that he..."

"Didn't he tell you about the rules I set for the sect?"

Qin Ming asked with a somewhat strange expression.

Although Xinyu sometimes throws tantrums, he doesn't get angry; on the contrary, he's quite happy because that's just Xinyu's nature.

Xinyu's thoughts were probably, "Master is being disobedient again, humph! I'm ignoring him today!"

Chen Xiaoju: "Master has made Senior Sister angry again..."

Qin Ming knew what they were thinking, so of course he didn't care.

Only Qingfeng kept everything to herself, neither saying nor showing it.

Qin Ming wouldn't say anything, but after a while, he felt an urge to hit someone.

"Sect rules?"

Qin Ming smiled and said, "When I first saw that he was determined to seek revenge, I casually set a rule for him, intending to let him not restrain himself too much... but it seems he misunderstood."

Plum Blossom Thirteen, "..."

Seeing that she didn't speak, Qin Ming blinked. "What's wrong? Just say what you're thinking."

Pointing to Xinyu and Chen Xiaoju in the distance, he continued, "They all know that, in fact, as long as you survive under my tutelage, there are no rules. I am not your biological parents. As for the way to survive, the world will naturally tell you."

Whoosh!

He turned his head to dodge the silver needles that Xinyu threw at him.

Qin Ming, “…(sweat)”

"..."

Mei Hua Thirteen seemed to have a new understanding of the somewhat... adorable grandmaster in front of her.

As soon as the idea popped into her head, Mei Hua Thirteen looked embarrassed and lowered her head slightly to hide it.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Master respects you very much."

"I know that, but given his temperament, that's about all you can tell."

Qin Ming sighed. This was Qingfeng's biggest flaw. "Your master remembered what I said, but it's not that he doesn't know how to be flexible. It's just that his hatred and obsession with that matter are too deep, and he doesn't want to use my power."

Do you know why I told him about those sect rules?

"I don't know..."

Qin Ming glanced at Wu Liuqi in the distance, his gaze deep, "Because what I hate most is rules, and this Xuanwu Kingdom is full of them..."

Indeed, the Xuanwu Kingdom is a vast network composed of countless rules and regulations.

The more powerful a force is, the more rules it has.

Because only in this way can stability be maintained.

Qilin, Lianzang, and now Qi are all people who are deeply involved in this.

Qin Ming had once been trapped in these rules and couldn't extricate himself, so he hated them and was resisting them in his own way.

The Qilin is someone who finds joy even in hardship.

The most direct way for Lan Minghua to escape was to flee Xuanwu Kingdom.

These people possess the strength to stand at the pinnacle of the Xuanwu Kingdom, yet they are all constrained by these invisible rules...

Even the Heavenly Rakshasa and the former leader of the assassins, Fei Xi, Qin Ming, although not from the same era as them, could sense that they were facing the same situation.

Even with extraordinary martial prowess, he could not shake the rules of the Xuanwu Kingdom and could only sink deeper and deeper into its clutches.

Qin Ming disliked it, and naturally wouldn't want his disciple to be trapped in his own web of problems.
