My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 573: Is that all?

Chapter 573: Is that all?

As Qin Feng left the palace with the Crown Prince, the sun was setting, casting a myriad of rosy hues across the sky.

Originally, he had considered visiting Chief Deng in the Demon Slaying Department to check on his condition. But at this hour, it might not be a good idea.

After a brief farewell and exchange of pleasantries with the Crown Prince, he found a coachman and set off for the Qin residence.

However, his mind was still preoccupied with the murderous intent he felt in the palace.

“After entering the Fourth Rank of the Free and Unrestrained Realm, my spiritual perception has far surpassed what it was before. This murderous intent is definitely not unfounded.”

“But on the long path that I was walking on, I only met the imperial doctor and his group.”

“If the murderous intent wasn’t hidden among the Imperial Doctors, could it be that there is a master who has infiltrated the palace?”

“But at this point, who would reveal a murderous intent to me?”

Qin Feng fell into thought.

Before, the Qin family was targeted because Liu Jianli was marrying into the Qin family. 

With such an outstanding wife, it was only natural that there would be no shortage of people in the Imperial City who harboured ill will.

Since the two were already married, such enemies were essentially invisible.

Moreover, with his growing reputation in the Imperial City, backed by the Grand Chancellor of the Cabinet, and endorsed by the Emperor himself, who would dare to harbor malicious intentions towards the Qin family?

The puzzled Qin Feng couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Clatter.

The carriage shook, snapping Qin Feng back to reality.

The coachman apologised, “Sorry, young master. It’s getting dark, and I didn’t notice the pothole on the road. Are you all right?”

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and replied calmly, “I’m fine. Just be more careful on the road ahead.”

“Don’t worry, young master. I will.”

With Righteous Qi surging within him, Qin Feng remained vigilant.

The roads in the inner city were built by the Ministry of Construction and the Divine Workshop. How could there be potholes?

His ears perked up, but it was unusually quiet outside the carriage, only the sound of the wheels rolling and the reins hitting the horse’s back could be heard.

And the route from the palace to the Qin residence was clearly through busy streets.

Even if it was night, how could there be no sound of people or the cries of merchants?

This could only mean one thing: while he was lost in thought, the carriage had deviated from its route and taken him somewhere else!

With the enemy lurking in the shadows, Qin Feng dared not act rashly, but he believed that they were still within the Imperial City.

Even if these people were bold, they wouldn’t dare make a move here.

He feared that the enemy knew their plan had been exposed and would resort to desperate measures.

Qin Feng reached into his pocket and pulled out the golden feathers of the Great Peng, his consciousness dipping into it to summon it.

With the speed of the Golden Winged Great Peng, it would only take a moment for it to arrive at his side in this Imperial City.

But to Qin Feng’s surprise, several moments passed and there was no movement outside the carriage!

“That damned Golden Feathered Bird, could it have found a mate and ignored me?”

At that moment, a sense of alertness surged through Qin Feng, and he activated the Heavenly Mirror to shield himself.

Amidst the flashing blades and shadows breaking through the carriage, the sound of gold echoed in his ears!

Daring to openly attack in the Imperial City, whose audacity was this?

Qin Feng looked around hurriedly, and then his eyes widened.

This wasn’t the Imperial City at all!

The blood moon was in the sky, and the surrounding mountains were connected and filled with darkness.

Four figures guarded the four corners, surrounding him.

There was another person floating in the air above his head, and the aura on that person’s body was also the most powerful among them, at least of Fourth Rank

‘From the time I boarded the carriage until now, at least one stick of incense has passed.’

‘Even if I flew, it wouldn’t be possible to leave the Imperial City, so how did I end up here?’

‘Wait, a blood moon overhead?”

Qin Feng suddenly looked up and realised something.

This is not reality at all!

Either he fell into an illusion, or he entered some kind of spatial treasure.

He and Cang Feilan had encountered this when they were in Jinyang City before!

“It was during the turbulence…” Qin Feng furrowed his brow and muttered to himself.

Hearing this, the man above him said in a cold voice, “To reach the fourth class realm at such a young age and even attract the Heavenly Tribulation, you are indeed remarkable. You’ve figured out the secret so quickly.”

“At first, I thought it was a bit of a waste to use the Blood Moon Formation to deal with a boy, but now it seems prudent to be cautious.”

“Who are you, and why do you want to kill me?” Qin Feng asked, cautiously scanning his surroundings.

“There is no need for meaningless testing. Your presence has hindered a certain important person, that’s all.”

As the man’s words fell, four shadows launched their attacks simultaneously.

The sword was domineering and the sword energy was fast and fierce. Judging from the power of the sword, these people were probably masters who had reached the Level Three Sword Intent!

Boom!

The attacks converged at one point, and the air waves rolled up, kicking up dust on the ground and blocking the view.

The floating man thought that even if this attack didn’t kill Qin Feng, it would certainly injure him severely.

However, when the dust settled, they were all stunned.

Qin Feng’s body was completely shielded by the Heavenly Mirror, with no gaps to be found.

Their previous attack had been completely useless against this absolute defence!

Seeing this, Qin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he felt some of the tension in his heart ease.

‘The attacks of these people are insignificant compared to my wives. The only thing worth mentioning is the guy above.’

‘However, compared to the defence, the top priority now is to find a way to leave this place.’

Qin Feng activated his Dual Pupil ability and observed his surroundings, but he couldn’t find any weaknesses.

Unlike formations, finding an exit from this spatial treasure was not an easy task.

Just then, the figure of Senior Xuan Yi appeared and observed the situation, and lightly said, “I was curious why there was something strange about the spatial fluctuations, it turns out we’ve entered a spatial treasure.”

Qin Feng hastily asked, “Senior, do you know how to leave this place?”

Xuan Yi was about to answer when he suddenly raised his head and warned, “Be careful, this person is about to attack.”

Qin Feng followed his gaze and saw the man in black surging with momentum. A bone knife slowly appeared in his right palm.

“Fourth Blade Intent, Concealed Weapon?”

“The Literature Saint Dao Lineage has amazing defense, truly living up to its reputation.”

“Unfortunately…it can only defend but cannot kill.”

“Your life will end here tonight.” The tone of the man above him was cold and murderous, and he actually had the ability to do so!

The jade-like bone knife under the blood moon emitted a chilling light.

With a slash, it shattered the moonlight!

Not daring to be careless, Qin Feng mobilised the Primordial Immortal Qi in his body and poured it into the Heavenly Mirror in front of him.

This strike must be the opponent’s killer move; I must deal with it with all my might!

No sooner said than done, at that moment, everything happened quickly.

The sword light with the potential to destroy the army struck the Heavenly Mirror in a fraction of a second, shimmering with colourful light.

Then there was a crisp sound.

The floating man let out a cold laugh. In his eyes, Qin Feng below was already a dead man.

That sound must have been the sound of his defence being shattered by the blade’s radiance!

However, what happened next took all of the black-robed people present by surprise.

Since the opponent’s defence was still intact, it was clearly the floating man’s blade aura that was shattered!

“How could that be?” The man shouted in shock.

Qin Feng glanced at the unscathed Heavenly Mirror in front of him, and after a moment of daze, he suddenly became hardened: “Oh, that’s it?”
