I’m Still Practicing Martial Arts, But How Did My Daughter Become an Immortal? – Chapter 21

Ch 21: Innate Realm

Lin Tian tossed his palm, and Yan Qing fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

“Weren’t you calling out loudly?”

“Why aren’t you shouting now? The more you shout, the more excited I get.”

“Now even the emperor can’t save you, I’m telling you.”

Lin Tian’s words were like a steel needle, piercing into Yan Qing’s heart. When had a dignified Seven Absolutes Hall assassin ever been subjected to such humiliation?

“Kill me, then. The victor is king, the loser is the villain. I have nothing to say,” Yan Qing’s voice was hoarse, with a hint of unwillingness and despair.

Lin Tian chuckled.

“Wanting to die isn’t that easy.”

“Qing Yi!”

“Throw this guy into the latrine and let him reflect on himself.”

Qing Yi “ah-ed” in a somewhat innocent manner.

“Master, can we throw him into someone else’s? Isn’t throwing him into our own place too smelly?”

The two sang in harmony, scaring Yan Qing’s face pale. He would rather be beaten to death than drown in a latrine.

How would the Jianghu spread the news after this? Seven Absolutes Hall’s Yan Qing accidentally fell into a latrine and drowned?

At the thought of soaking in a latrine, Yan Qing couldn’t help but gag.

Then Yan Qing steeled his heart, clenched his teeth, and prepared to bite his tongue and commit suicide. At this moment, he was completely desperate.

Suddenly, Lin Tian turned to look at Yan Qing, his tone a bit strange.

“You can try to commit suicide.”

“But, after you die, I will strip off your clothes and throw you into the pigsty.”

“The next day, the Jianghu will be full of news about you.”

“Seven Absolutes Hall, assassin Yan Qing, broke into a pigsty at night, desired ten pigs in one night, and finally died from exhaustion.”

Lin Tian stared at Yan Qing with a sinister gaze, his smile like a rat that had stolen lamp oil.

Yan Qing’s pupils dilated, his whole body trembling, as if he had seen a demon.

Lin Tian had already made plans in his heart. He wasn’t afraid of you becoming famous, he was only afraid of you not becoming famous.

If you were unknown, this kind of trick would be ineffective.

The more famous a person is, the more they care about their reputation. Even the most heinous villain can’t resist this move.

This punch seemed to hit Yan Qing’s throat, making him want to speak but stopping, cursing Lin Tian’s ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

Qing Yi, on the other hand, looked admiring. As expected of Master, he subdued a killer who didn’t blink an eye with just a few words.

Qing Yi felt that she had learned another trick. Next time I fight, I will also throw people into the latrine.

Fang Qingxue cursed inwardly, “Shameless, a rogue against a rogue, they are all rogues.”

If he really did that, Yan Qing would probably not rest in peace even after death. His descendants would be ashamed of him.

Lin Tian’s gaze was cold, changing his previous disrespectful attitude.

Lin Tian: “Did the Marquis of Nantian send you?”

Yan Qing shook his head. They only accepted orders and didn’t care about other reasons or identities.

Lin Tian’s expression was indifferent: “I can spare your life. As a price, I want you to help me investigate the Marquis of Nantian.”

Lin Tian: “Within three days, I want to see what I want. Otherwise, believe me, you can avoid the first day of the month, but you can’t avoid the fifteenth.”

As he spoke, Lin Tian’s True Qi surged, and the majestic True Qi formed a colorful Big Worm.

“Roar!”

The Big Worm’s roar shook the night sky, and its light cut through the darkness like a sharp sword, illuminating the small courtyard.

The light was so bright that it forced the eyes, making the contours of their faces sharp in an instant, and even the most subtle expressions were exposed.

Fang Qingxue and Tang Qingyi’s faces were pale, their eyes wide. Their pupils reflected the terrifying figure of the three-zhang giant tiger.

The two opened their mouths wide, their voices trembling: “This, this…”

Yan Qing’s eyes widened, looking at this colorful fierce tiger in disbelief. At this moment, his psychological defenses instantly collapsed.

He pointed at Lin Tian, his tone trembling: “You… you… you are Innate.”

Lin Tian was of course not Innate, it was the Deterrence Attribute.

Lin Tian only felt that a large part of the Internal Energy in his body had disappeared in an instant. Good fellow, this Deterrence Attribute was about to drain him dry.

Lin Tian pretended to be calm and composed, but in fact, he was panicking in his heart.

Yan Qing was completely desperate, muttering like a fool, “Innate… Innate… True Qi Transformation… Innate.”

“Marquis of Nantian… Marquis of Nantian.”

Lin Tian didn’t care about him. Seven Absolutes Hall was formed by the seven Yan brothers.

Their grandfather was the well-known martial arts master in the Jianghu, Yan Longyuan.

Seven Absolutes Hall was able to rise quickly, and Yan Longyuan’s support was indispensable.

If he killed him, this old thing would probably go berserk.

The Jianghu has never been a ring for one-on-one duels, but a chessboard where forces intersect.

Two fists are no match for four hands, and a lone wolf will eventually escape the siege of a pack of wolves.

Without a background or a backer, even if you are highly skilled in martial arts, you are just a candle in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time.

Here, living is sometimes a luxury.

Marquis of Nantian, oh Marquis of Nantian, do you think that I, Lin Tian, am a dispensable little person who can be killed or slaughtered at will?

Lin Tian stopped paying attention to Yan Qing lying on the ground.

He turned his head and patted Qing Yi’s shoulder.

“See, the more people who are not afraid of death, the more they are afraid of.”

“Pick up all the silver needles in the yard. The material of these silver needles is very unusual.”

“Tomorrow, go to Taihe Street to find a blacksmith shop and have him make a few more sets of silver needles.”

Qing Yi: “Okay, Master.”

Lin Tian touched her little head: “Follow Master, and you’ll eat nine meals a day.”

Tang Qingyi: “Ah~ so much, but I don’t want to get fat.”

Lin Tian laughed: “It’s good to be a little fat. You’re as thin as a rattle drum.”

Lin Tian, Qing Yi, and Fang Qingxue each returned to their rooms to rest.

Leaving only Yan Qing lying on the ground reflecting.

If he had known earlier that his assassination target was an Innate Expert, he would rather have crashed to death on the south wall than come.

Innate, ah, that is the top expert in the Jianghu, a figure who can establish a sect, whose cultivation method and martial arts have basically reached the extreme. Even comprehending a trace of the power of heaven and earth.

He originally thought that Lin Tian should be concerned about his grandfather Yan Longyuan’s strength, as well as the prestige of Seven Absolutes Hall, but he didn’t expect…

Yan Qing revealed a wry smile. If Lin Tian wanted to kill him, even his grandfather’s arrival would not help.

After returning, I don’t know how my brothers will laugh at me.

If Grandpa finds out, I’m afraid he will…

Instantly, Yan Qing’s features twisted, and he cursed inwardly.

Marquis of Nantian, I want to dig up your ancestors’ graves for eight generations. You dare to send me to assassinate an Innate Expert, clearly sending me to my death.

You wait, if I don’t peel off your skin, I won’t be called Yan Qing.

Dawn.

The sun showed half of its face, and a faint red light appeared on the horizon, illuminating the silent Jianghu.

Morning mist lingered, and the distant mountains loomed, like a landscape painting.

A young man in a green robe with a handsome appearance walked on the official road, followed by an old man.

The old man looked anxious and breathed rapidly: “Young Master~ Young Master, let’s rest. I can’t walk anymore.”

The handsome young man looked displeased: “I told you not to follow me, but you insisted on coming.”

The old man also looked tired: “Alas! If I don’t follow you, the Clan Leader will punish you.”

The handsome young man waved his hand impatiently.

“Alright, the front should be Qingshui County. When we get there, I’ll let you old folks rest. Old arms and legs, what are you trying to do?”

The old man looked bitter, “Alas!” What a sin! How unlucky am I to be your family’s butler.

The young master’s name was Wang Yuan, and he was the grandson of Gang Leader Wang Bo of the Overlord Saber Sect. He usually caused trouble at home, and the old Clan Leader was strict with him. Taking advantage of the old Clan Leader’s trip to the Zhang Family in Beiliang, he secretly ran out.

He originally thought he would just wander around nearby, but who knew that as he ran, he realized he couldn’t go back.

Saying he wanted to participate in the Dao Discussion Conference, “Alas!” A bunch of little kids, they haven’t walked as much as I’ve eaten salt, what knowledge can they have?

An old man and a young man entered Qingshui County. The young man was dressed in brocade clothes and had a graceful demeanor.

The old man followed closely behind, holding an oiled paper umbrella for him, resisting the scorching sun.

The gorgeous brocade clothes shone brightly in the sun, further setting off the young man’s handsome and extraordinary appearance.
