Chapter 521: Chapter 520: 4 Seasons Spear Technique, Perfection

A murderous aura filled the air, striking fear into the hearts of Dongmen Yu and the Elder!

They couldn’t fathom how a mere youth could possess such killing intent!

But the two were Kings, after all. They recovered their composure in an instant. Elder Dongmen stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Dongmen Yu. A cold, hawk-like glint flashed in his somewhat murky eyes as he said grimly, "You’ve just offended my young master, Deputy City Lord. Do you now intend to seize the document by force?"

’Offended? Is getting beaten by me what you call being offended?’

’Ha, that’s the biggest joke I’ve ever heard.’

The corner of Qin Ya’s mouth curled up. The killing intent radiating from him intensified, and his voice was laced with a piercing chill. "If you don’t hand over that document, believe me, you’ll face consequences a hundred, even a thousand times crueler than mere ’offense’!"

In his youth, Elder Dongmen had also been a prodigy, and his pride ran deep. After being rebuked by the crowd, he had been suppressing a burning rage. Now, with Qin Ya’s threat, it was as if a fuse had been lit, and that rage instantly exploded. "Arrogant!" he roared, unleashing an air of Era-Defining majesty.

The moment he spoke, his hand sliced through the air. Using his palm as a blade, he unleashed sharp streams of Blade Qi that formed a net, closing in on Qin Ya.

"Hmph."

But with a cold snort, Qin Ya’s spear shot forward. Carrying the Qi of Destruction, a downpour of spear shadows burst forth, instantly shattering the Blade Qi!

"Mysterious Technique... Mountain-Splitter, River-Sunderer!"

The Elder snorted coldly as Divine Light erupted from his body. A hundred-zhang-long blade of energy coalesced and slashed down toward Qin Ya. Within the Blade Qi, illusory images of shattering mountains and parting great rivers appeared. It was a Sixth-Grade Profound Technique!

Before the Blade Qi even arrived, an immense Blade Pressure swept out, causing the clouds to recoil and the wind to howl. It suppressed the very space around them, restricting Qin Ya’s movements. Though this Elder was also an Era-Defining King, he was clearly stronger than Ziming Liufeng!

"Come."

With a cold grunt, Qin Ya unleashed a surge of majestic Qi of Destruction. It condensed in his palm, and the faint image of a world being torn asunder appeared within it.

It was none other than the Seventh-Grade Profound Technique... Heaven’s Woe and Earth’s Misery!

This palm strike was significantly more powerful than the one he had used against Dongmen Yu!

A sliver of defeat pierced Dongmen Yu’s heart. ’So, I wasn’t even worthy of making him use his full strength. How utterly pathetic!’

The thought drove him mad with jealousy.

He said coldly, "Elder, kill him!"

"Yes, Young Master!"

In the time it took for that brief exchange, the Palm Qi and the blade of light collided.

A blinding flash of energy erupted. Powerful shockwaves rolled out, shaking the entire martial arts arena and causing the ground to crack and splinter!

A moment later, both the Palm Qi and the blade of light vanished.

The faces of the spectators were flushed with excitement.

"The Deputy City Lord is going head-to-head with an Era-Defining King again!"

"Ha, I wonder if the Deputy City Lord can pull off a five-kill streak."

"It’ll be tough. Even though they’re both Era-Defining Kings, this Elder Dongmen is clearly a cut above Ziming Liufeng and the others. I’m not sure if he can win."

"Yeah, this Elder’s power is no joke."

Even among Era-Defining Kings, there were different levels of combat power. The quality of one’s Divine Light, the Mysterious Techniques one wielded, and how they were applied all determined their overall strength.

Kings like Ziming Liufeng were considered merely ordinary among the Era-Defining.

The Elder before Qin Ya, however, was a tier above them.

Qin Ya took a deep breath, gripping his spear tightly. A four-colored Power of Nature began to swirl around him: the Thunder of spring, the Flame of summer, the wind of autumn, and the ice of winter!

The Four Seasons turned, an endless, self-sustaining cycle!

In his recent training, his comprehension of the Four Seasons Spear Technique had reached a new level.

He then seized the initiative. His figure transformed into a Flowing Light as he charged toward Elder Dongmen. He thrust his spear, and the Four Symbols Power erupted. At times it was as domineering as Thunder, then as ferocious as a raging Flame; as desolate and pervasive as the autumn wind, then as piercingly cold as winter’s ice...

The four energies worked in perfect, seamless harmony!

For a moment, he actually had Elder Dongmen on the defensive.

’Good heavens, another Seventh-Grade Profound Technique!’

He was now beginning to believe the rumors that Qin Ya had slain four Era-Defining Kings. With two Seventh-Grade Profound Techniques and two Top Profound Mysteries, his combat power could explode to be dozens of times greater than others at the same level of cultivation.

’To think that someone like him would appear in a minor place like Qingkong City.’

Divine Light flowed around the Elder, shifting between Blade Qi for attack and barriers for defense. He handled the transformations with masterful ease, yet Qin Ya’s assault was relentless and unaffected. He displayed such incredible combat awareness that, even as an enemy, Elder Dongmen couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

"Hah!"

Elder Dongmen bellowed, and streams of Blade Qi shot out from his Divine Light. The Blade Qi formed cascading waves, not only maximizing his Attack Power but also creating a relentless, overwhelming pressure!

"A good strike."

Qin Ya gave a cold smile. His spear danced in a flurry of intricate movements as the four energies of Thunder, fire, ice, and wind wrapped around the Breaking Army Spear, exuding a faint, Mysterious aura.

Then, the tip of the spear bloomed with a dazzling, four-colored light!

Within that four-colored radiance, one could almost see visions of the Four Seasons: the crack of Spring Thunder, the sweltering summer sun, the desolate autumn wind, and the piercing winter cold. The seasons passed in an endless cycle, a perfect representation of nature’s flow and the path of all things.

At that moment, Qin Ya’s Four Seasons Spear Technique had finally reached Perfection!

The power that erupted from this one, perfect spear thrust was unbelievably immense!

Within the flow of light, raging Thunder, soaring Flame, and a howling, bitter wind condensed into a great Power of Nature. With the ease of snapping dry twigs, it tore through the cascading, relentless waves of Blade Qi!

In an instant, Elder Dongmen’s pupils shrank to pinpricks, his face a mask of utter disbelief. With a long cry, he erupted with streams of Divine Light, forming layer after layer of barriers in front of himself in a desperate attempt to block the terrifying spear!

But the spear’s light pulsed, tearing through the barriers one by one!

PFFT! A spray of blood mist erupted.

A bloody hole had appeared on Elder Dongmen’s shoulder.

"Damn it."

Even though he had managed to track the spear’s path at the last second and dodge, he was still wounded. A feeling of utter humiliation welled up from the depths of his heart!

’I’m an Era-Defining King from the Dongmen Family!’

’To be wounded in this backwater Qingkong City by a youth whose Cultivation hasn’t even reached the King realm... If word of this gets out, how will I ever show my face in the main city again?’

’I’ll become a laughingstock.’

"Qin Ya, I’ll kill you!"

Elder Dongmen roared, and a majestic Blade Qi began to Condense in his palm!

But just then, a tremor ran through Qingkong City. Eighteen pillars of light shot up into the Nine Heavens, and a surging, oppressive power pressed down on everything.

"Stop this at once!"
