Chapter 66: Duan Tianping

  Qin Yong's lips moved slightly, but he didn't respond to Ma Wei. His gaze at Ma Wei was as if looking at an idiot.

  It's actually possible to say such a thing, if it were someone of the same level as Wu Xiu, saying this wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary. But Ma Wei is at the pinnacle of the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining Realm, almost invincible within the realm. And yet Qin Yong is only at the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining Realm, and hasn't even revealed his true abilities, so in everyone's eyes, he's just a miscellaneous disciple who's at most at the Sixth Layer.

  This remark not only made Qin Yong secretly curse in his heart, but also left the onlookers speechless. They looked at Ma Wei with a few hints of mockery in their eyes. This further enraged Ma Wei, who let out an angry roar and placed one hand on the hilt of his knife, ready to draw it out and show off his knife skills.

  Ma Wei was truly angry, he wasn't unable to deal with Qin Yong, as long as he made a move with his knife technique, under the continuous and powerful knife momentum, Qin Yong would have no way to dodge or defend. Once the knife technique was released, the situation would become clear, but Ma Wei had been hesitant before, that's why he didn't do it. Now, with everyone's mocking gaze, and being frustrated by Qin Yong's agility, Ma Wei no longer cared about anything, planning to take out his knife and strike down Qin Yong in one move.

  Qin Yong watched Ma Wei's movements and suddenly felt a chill in his heart, becoming cautious.

  With Qin Yong's current strength, he can fight against Ma Wei to this extent, which is already quite good. It seems that he has the upper hand, but in fact his attacks have little effect on Ma Wei. Ma Wei does not have the terrifying power and defensive capabilities of Xiuxiu Xiong, but he can control his true energy with ease, making him more troublesome than Xiuxiu Xiong. Now that Ma Wei is using knife techniques, a fierce attack like a tiger descending from a mountain will greatly limit Qin Yong's agility, unless Qin Yong is willing to use the Air Transport Seal, otherwise he cannot resist Ma Wei who has used his knife technique.

  "Stop!"

  At this time, a stern voice came over, causing Ma Wei to pause in his movements, and his face looked somewhat unpleasant. Qin Yong also shuddered, and the stern voice made him feel a bit dizzy.

  With one drink, he possessed such power, and his terrifying strength was revealed without a trace. The crowd followed the sound to look over and immediately saw a young figure, and everyone's heart was shocked at once, with an expression of awe on their faces, looking at the newcomer, they all recognized the person's identity.

  "Brother Tianping." Ma Wei was reluctant to stop like this, but seeing the person who came, he had no choice but to put away his actions and said respectfully.

  "It's actually him, Fair and impartial Duan Tianping!" Qin Yong also recognized the person's identity.

  Outside the top ten, Qin Yong had only seen Wenwen Ruyi Cai Feiyun and Xu Donglin with a clear ambition. He hadn't met anyone else besides them. Even that Fast Sword King Hai, when he recruited Qin Yong, was through other people, and Qin Yong hadn't met him either.

  Now, Qin Yong saw Duan Tianping again, who was ranked second among the top ten outer disciples. Duan Tianping, as his name suggests, had a scale in his heart that only measured things, not people. Even familiar friends and family members would not be biased towards him because of this. That's why he was given the nickname "Fair and Strict", but it didn't mean he wasn't powerful. On the contrary, Duan Tianping's strength was very strong, with a cultivation base at the third peak of the Xuanwu Realm, yet he could rank second among the outer disciples, even surpassing Wang Hai, which showed just how strong his strength was.

  Three people outside the door understood, Wang Hai had half of the sword intent, and Duan Tianping also had half of the sword intent. Their cultivation and state of mind were evenly matched, possibly strong enough to suppress Wang Hai, but there must be an even stronger trump card. At this time, Duan Tianping appeared here, and this farce has come to an end, even if Qin Yong and Ma Wei wanted to fight, it's no longer possible.

  "Brother Tianping, this is my business, I hope you don't interfere." Ma Wei said in a low voice, his face looking very unpleasant, but he still cupped his hands towards Duan Tianping.

  To Qin Yong, Ma Wei could be arrogant, but not to Duan Tianping. At this time, Ma Wei was really unwilling to let Qin Yong go so easily, that's why he said that, but if Duan Tianping still wanted to intervene, then he could only give up, which is why his face didn't look good.

  "I already know what happened. You all made mistakes in this matter. Qin Yong, you must have exceptional abilities to help Liu Yan take care of the spiritual medicine. However, back then, you destroyed the Hundred Spirits Grass, causing Ma Wei to miss an important opportunity. That was your fault." Duan Tianping said coldly, although he intervened, it wasn't to help Qin Yong. After speaking, Duan Tianping turned to look at Ma Wei, still with a cold face, "Ma Wei, you've already made a move, making another move is somewhat excessive. However, I can understand that you have pent-up anger and need to vent it out for the sake of your cultivation. But using your fist technique was already overboard, and now using knife techniques is no longer just a matter of being overboard."

  Qin Yong and Duan Tianping both felt a chill in their bodies, which was affected by Duan Tianping's aura. At this time, Qin Yong secretly thought that Duan Tianping was indeed formidable. Even Qin Yong had the feeling that Duan Tianping's strength was actually far superior to that of the Sharp-toothed Wild Boar from before. If it were Duan Tianping who encountered the Sharp-toothed Wild Boar, he could easily take care of it with his own strength.

  The three geniuses outside the outer gate all have strengths comparable to those of the inner gate, and if they were to challenge the suppressed disciples of the inner gate, it shouldn't be difficult for them to succeed. However, they also have their own pride, and are unwilling to challenge those inner gate disciples who lack potential. Either they go to challenge truly powerful inner gate disciples, or rely on their own cultivation to reach the fourth level of the Xuanwu Realm and enter the inner gate, rather than resorting to shortcuts.

  "Brother Tianping!" Ma Wei wanted to say another sentence, but was stared at by Duan Tianping and suddenly didn't dare to speak again.

  Ma Wei's strength in the Qi Wu realm can be said to be extremely terrifying, but after all, it is still the Qi Wu realm. When facing a strong Xuan Wu realm like Duan Tianping, there is basically no room for maneuver. Not to mention that Duan Tianping is also a genius who is not inferior to Wang Hai, and will definitely be a figure in the inner door in the future.

  "Qin Yong, it seems you don't quite agree with what I said!" Duan Tianping turned his gaze back to Qin Yong.

  "No." Qin Yong responded with a slight pout.

  Although this balance is fair and strict, after all, it also has the nature of martial arts. This is a world where the strong are respected. Qin Yong is a miscellaneous disciple, while Ma Wei is an outer door disciple. Therefore, the unexpected Qin Yong's mistake was only a small one, but Duan Tianping thought it was a big mistake. Ma Wei had no problem with him taking action. The reason for the obstruction was that Ma Wei wanted to use his knife skills. If not, Duan Tianping would not have interfered.

  Qin Yong couldn't believe that Duan Tianping had just arrived, he must have come earlier and hadn't appeared yet. And Ma Wei using his fist method to deal with a miscellaneous disciple who hadn't learned anything was also an excessive thing to do, but Duan Tianping didn't appear at all. What's more, what was this about being somewhat excessive again? It was just somewhat excessive, last time Ma Wei took action, the one he dealt with wasn't the current Qin Yong, but the previous miserable goods, who were beaten until they were seriously injured and died, although outsiders didn't know, but being seriously injured was something everyone understood.

  So, Qin Yong was also somewhat unimpressed with Duan Tianping, and his expression was mediocre. It wasn't until then that Duan Tianping noticed Qin Yong's discontent, which led to the question. And Qin Yong's response was that there was none, but his tone didn't have even a hint of agreement.

  Everyone's pupils contracted, and they all became somewhat incredulous. This Qin Yong actually dared to disobey Duan Tianping!
