Chapter 6: Killing! Breath Control Technique (2-in-1)

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On Haunted Slope Mountain, the Blackhawk Gang

The young man was lying on the tiger skin carpet, holding a jar of wine in his hand and drinking it.

"Lord Black Wolf." Some soldiers ingratiated themselves. 

"What is it?" Black Wolf was impatient. He was the nephew of the chief, Black Eagle, so his status in the gang was extraordinary.

"The chief said that you have to go down the mountain every month to practice." One of the soldiers hesitated.

"Are there any women? I'm not going without a woman!"

"There are! I've already found one for you!"

"After your practice, there's a hunter less than half a li away. His daughter was very attractive!" 

Black Wolf immediately sat up. "Alright! Let's go if there are women!"

… 

On the way to Bo Feng Town, more and more emaciated people appeared on both sides of the road, and more and more people were heading in the direction of Pingnan City, escaping their original hometown.

Their eyes were listless, and they were wandering on the road like zombies. Their destination was Pingnan City, but it didn't seem to be.

Qin Huai seemed to be like Gao Ruyang a year ago, a little numb to this scene.

"The most powerful mountain bandit in town is the Blackhawk Gang's chief."

Qin Huai sat in the carriage and told his junior brothers and sisters what Gao Ruyang had told him in the past.

His voice stopped abruptly. There were clamoring sounds outside.

"Stop! All of you stop!"

Qin Huai calmly walked out of the carriage, followed by Luo Ya and the others.

"Fellow heroes, this is the toll." Qin Huai was very familiar with this and took out some silver from his pocket.

But this time, the other party didn't take it.

The leader of the mountain bandits stared at Luo Ya, who was standing behind Qin Huai. The look in his eyes was obvious. 

"You can leave, but leave this girl behind!" The eyes of the mountain bandit, Black Wolf, were filled with lust.

"Hero, we are the disciples of the Liu family's apothecary in Pingnan City. Our master is…"

But before Qin Huai could finish, he was interrupted by Black Wolf. "I don't care who you are! Leave the little girl behind and get lost! If you don't want to, then you won't pass." 

Black Wolf looked fierce.

"My master is Liu Changyue."

"I said, get lost! This is your last chance!"

"In the past, I gave you face because of the silver. What kind of apothecary are you?" Black Wolf laughed and wagged his finger.

"Other than the eight martial arts dojos, none of them are of any use to the Blackhawk Gang!"

Luo Ya's face was pale, and she could not say a word. The others were also at a loss, not knowing where to look. They all knew that the Blackhawk Gang's reputation was well known in Pingnan city.

"Senior Brother, why don't we leave first?" The junior brother, Gu Erwa, tugged at Qin Huai's sleeve. "Go back and tell Master. Let him handle this matter." 

Gu Erwa was anxious as he added, "Besides, Junior Sister Luo's family is well-off. Her family will have their own means." 

The others didn't say anything, but their meaning was self-evident. In fact, they all knew that if they left Luo Ya alone, they would not be able to return. They were just thinking about the best side of things and convincing themselves of their guilt.

Luo Ya looked at the group of fierce mountain bandits in front of her, her face drained of blood.

"Master always taught us that doctors should have a kind heart and save the dying and heal the wounded. Now that I have martial arts, how can I watch my junior sister be taken away by the mountain bandits?" Qin Huai was expressionless. "You guys go first, I'll handle this." 

His junior sister had treated him well, so how could he abandon her at this time? If he left now...then what's the use of practicing martial arts?

"Let's go! Why are you still standing there?" Gu Erwa wailed, his heart bursting with joy. If this Qin Huai wanted to court death, he would definitely not stop him. He could not wait for Qin Huai to be dismembered by the Blackhawk Gang.

Once Gu Erwa spoke, the crowd did not dare to disobey. They stopped persuading Qin Huai and returned with the carriage.

Only Qin Huai and Luo ya were left behind to face the group of mountain bandits from the Blackhawk Gang.

"A drug seller wants to rebel against the Blackhawk Gang?" Black Wolf sneered. "It's really true that since ancient times, heroes can't get past beauties. No, not even a bear can!" 

Black Wolf gave him a look. The next moment, one of the mountain bandits circled to Qin Huai's blind spot and stabbed him.

Qin Huai's spirit jolted. He reacted quickly, turned around, and grabbed the blade. His right hand clenched into a fist and struck out with all his might.

Pfft!

A mouthful of blood splattered all over Qin Huai's body.

Qin Huai was stunned. There was no one in front of him, but he was holding a soft arm in his hand.

'What great strength!' 

The mountain bandit's arm was broken by Qin Huai's punch, and he fell limply to the ground. There was a depression in his chest that was several inches deep, and he was no longer breathing.

This was the first time he had attacked someone since he had entered the martial warrior realm.

It also allowed Qin Huai to have a clear understanding of a martial artist's power of Qi and blood for the first time, and he was filled with confidence.

Although the Qi cultivation technique wasn't good at attacking, the transformation of Qi and blood when he became a martial artist was still too terrifying.

He looked at the corpse under his feet and saw several white experience balls.

"You have experience in killing people?" Qin Huai was puzzled and immediately collected the experience balls.

"Ding! You have collected a [ Breath Control Essence (White) ], [ Breath Control ] Experience +13!"

A breath control technique? Wasn't this the martial arts that the Black Eagle gang cultivated?

Furthermore, a mountain bandit actually had 13 experience points. These mountain bandits were of a higher realm than the internal affairs apprentices of the apothecary?

Something was wrong, and Qin Huai realized the problem right away. This was the experience ball that he had gotten from killing people. It was different from picking up the experience balls of his fellow disciples.

The experience ball that dropped from killing people would give more experience.

"He's a martial artist?!"

The remaining four mountain bandits gulped.

Qin Huai strode toward the four of them. He punched out with both fists, and no one could block him.

He exchanged a punch with a mountain bandit, and their fists collided for an instant. 

The crisp sound of bones breaking was heard. The mountain bandit's arm was instantly twisted, and he knelt on the ground in pain.

"Die!" One of them had a fiendish look on his face as he sneaked an attack on Qin Huai's waist from behind.

Buzzzzzz!

Qin Huai suddenly exerted his strength and used his vigorous Qi and blood to clamp down on the long knife the moment it entered his flesh, preventing it from moving in the slightest. Then, he turned around and threw a punch.

His opponent's chest caved in. It was as if he was punching each of the mountain bandits to death.

A martial artist's power was a dimension-lowering attack to ordinary people. 

"Ding! You have collected a [ Breath Control Essence (Ehite) ], [ Breath Control ] Experience +22!"

"Ding! You have collected a [ Breath Control Essence (White) ], [ Breath Control ] Experience +16!"

"[ Breath Control ] Experience +30!

"Wait! Wait a minute!" Black Wolf cried out in fear. He had not expected Qin Huai to be a martial artist! "The Blackhawk Gang has always sought revenge for the smallest grievance. If you kill me, you will never be a businessman again!" 

"If I kill all of you, no one will know that I did it, right?" Qin Huai was serious.

"My uncle is the chief of the Blackhawk Gang!" Black Wolf roared. "And the reason why our gang is called the Blackhawk Gang is that we have the black hawk to send messages. Nothing in this land can escape our eyes." 

Black Wolf's eyes were sharp, and his hands were quick. He did not know why, but his hands were fluttering.

A black hawk flew out of his arms and into the air. By the time Qin Huai reacted, it had already flown more than ten meters high.

"I've already spread the news about this. If you kill me, you'll have to take another path in the future!" Black Wolf's face was ferocious, and his heart was in a panic. He had not had the time to write the report in such a short time, so he had only released the messenger bird to scare Qin Huai.

 "Don't think that you're great just because you're a martial artist. You can kill three to five people, but what about thirty to fifty? My gang has fifty men!" Black Wolf continued to press on. "My uncle is the chief of the Blackhawk Gang! Let me go, alright? Let's have a good talk."

Bang! Bang!

Without a word, Qin Huai killed Black Wolf with a punch.

"As a mountain bandit, why are you looking for trouble with me? I just want to live a good life and earn some money." Qin Huai took the mountain bandit's clothes and wiped the bloodstains off his body. Then, he stabbed another group of mountain bandits.

In the end, the guy even revealed that his uncle was the big boss of the Blackhawk Gang. If he was so stupid, then all the more he couldn't let him live.

As for the message… Although the black bird was not caught, Qin Huai could still see it clearly with his warrior's vision. There was no letter tied to it. Unless the black bird could speak human language and retell everything that had happened… 

However, if the Blackhawk Gang had such a divine bird, Pingnan City would have to change its surname to Black Hawk.

"[ Breath Control ] Experience +70!"

This Black Wolf actually gave him 70 experience points?

Qin Huai was puzzled. He could sense that Black Wolf's martial arts attainments were even inferior to those of the others. He was just a good-for-nothing mountain bandit.

"I understand. It's probably caused by his evil deeds." Qin Huai came to a realization.

Killing him could be considered as getting rid of the tyrants and bringing peace to the good. It was some kind of "gift from the Heavenly Dao."

"This person is very familiar with taking advantage of women. He must be a repeat offender."

Qin Huai's heart stirred as he looked at his personal panel.

Name: Qin Huai

[ Cultivation Method ]: [ Qi nurturing technique (level 48, 923/1000) ], [ Breath Control technique (level 1, 51/200) ]

 [ Skill: Alchemy (advanced, 247/1600) ]

 [ Stage ]: Level 1 Blood Refinement Realm

Qin Huai sensed that even his breathing had become lighter. When he activated his breath control technique, he felt a light breeze under his feet, which weakened the sound.

"This martial art is really useful." Qin Huai sighed. If his breath control technique were at a higher level, he would be on the same level as the Blackhawk Gang's chief.

He walked silently, like a ghost. The guild would be much more convenient. However, this cultivation technique was not good at attacking.

"Senior Brother, what should we do next?" Lou Ya's entire body was trembling.

"Keep this matter to yourself and never mention it again," Qin Huai instructed.

Luo Ya was already at a loss and could only nod her head.

The two of them buried the bodies of Black Wolf and the others on the spot, then covered the scene with soil, trying to remove traces as much as possible.

After that, they returned to Pingnan City. 


Chapter 7: Confinement and Reward

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Qin Huai suppressed his fear and buried Black Wolf and the others. 

As for Luo Ya, her legs turned to jelly from the sudden turn of events, and she fell to the ground. She couldn't even get up, let alone walk. Her whole body twitched, and cold sweat drenched her short robe and the ground.

One of the reasons was that she had been pampered since she was a child. More importantly, the fierce reputation of the Blackhawk Gang had been pressing on the heads of Pingnan City and the surrounding people for too long.

The Blackhawk Gang will seek revenge for the smallest grievance. They will target whoever kills their people like dogskin plaster, not to mention that he killed his nephew this time."

"Senior Brother, it's my fault." Luo Ya's face was pale.

"What's the use of saying that now?" Qin Huai was calm. It didn't matter if he killed such an evil person. He wanted to live a peaceful life, but it didn't mean that he had to compromise and tolerate everything.

Just because he didn't cause trouble didn't mean he was afraid of trouble.

There were really evil people who bullied their superiors and forced them into a desperate situation. Qin Huai didn't mind risking his life to let those evil people know that people who were born with Qi use it for the sake of survival. Otherwise, what was the point of living in this world?

Qin Huai grabbed Luo Ya with one hand and put her on his shoulder, taking big steps forward until they entered the city.

Once they reached the city, Luo Ya seemed to have found support and could walk on the ground. Walking into the apothecary, the two people's steps couldn't help but become much lighter.

However, she realized that the atmosphere in the medicine hall was not quite right.

Their master, Liu Changyue, and the others saw that Qin Huai and Luo Ya had returned safely, but there was no joy on their faces. All of them were silent, filling the atmosphere in the backyard with an invisible heaviness.

"Don't mention this matter anymore." Liu Changyue gathered everyone who knew the situation in the backyard and spoke concisely.

Qin Huai and Luo Ya's safe return meant that all the members of the Blackhawk Gang had been killed. He had offended the powerful and vengeful Blackhawk Gang.

To the Liu family's apothecary, it could be said to be a big hidden danger. Qin Huai was in big trouble!

"Qin Huai, you don't have to escort anymore in the future. Let's do the consultation in the lobby," Liu Changyue ordered. He had also changed the way he addressed Qin Huai from 'Huai'er' to his full name.

His Senior Sister Liu Xiaomei, who had always cared for him, was now standing in the same place, not daring to look at him.

Qin Huai had an idea of what was going on, and his heart sank.

"For the time being, everyone in the apothecary is not allowed to go to the city and out of it!" Liu Changyue ordered everyone to lay low.

That night, Qin Huai's door was knocked open.

"Senior Brother Qin, it's fine if you don't have to escort me. I'll always support you!" Luo Ya's entire body was trembling. Obviously, she was still in shock after what had happened today. Yet, she still came to comfort Qin Huai.

"Although the blood and Qi soup is expensive, my family still has some money. It's not a big problem for Senior Brother to cultivate."

"Alright." Qin Huai nodded and temporarily agreed. 

He didn't have a better idea now. He could only wait until his cultivation technique broke through level 50 and see if he had the chance to enter the second level of blood refinement.

Moreover, only the people in his apothecary knew that he had killed Black Wolf. There was no surveillance in this world. The so-called divination and deduction techniques, even if there were, would not be in this small Pingnan City.

This was because, according to Qin Huai's observations, this world was obviously a world with a low-level martial world or a mid-level martial world. Although the killing power of cultivators was shocking, it was by no means to the extent of destroying the heavens and earth, reversing yin and yang.

"I'll continue to escort them after the storm has passed." Qin Huai was calm as he said this.

After his Qi cultivation had reached a profound level, it would not be too late for him to kill his way to the top of the mountain to get rid of this disaster for the apothecary.

These two days, he had been living off of his junior sister, and he had a clear conscience.

… 

"Ding! You have collected a [ Nurturing Qi Essence (Green) ], [ Nurturing Qi ] Experience +17."

"Ding! You have collected a [ Nurturing Qi Essence (Green) ], [ Nurturing Qi ] Experience +12."

"Ding! You have collected a [ Nurturing Qi Essence (Green) ], [ Nurturing Qi ] Experience +29!"

Qin Huai was stunned when he saw the last notification. This was because this wasn't his master Liu Changyue's experience ball, but his junior Luo Ya's.

"I didn't expect Junior Sister to give me so much experience. Not only did I break through level 20, but I've even caught up with Master." Qin Huai sighed.

It seemed that he had saved his junior sister's life and caused Luo Ya's trust and closeness to him to break through the limit.

Hu~

Qin Huai heaved a sigh of relief as he felt the white flood dragon in his body grow stronger.

"I've entered the forty-ninth level of my Qi strengthening technique," Qin Huai muttered to himself.

The feeling that he was about to break through became more and more obvious. He was certain that he was going to reach level 50 soon.

"There seems to be no wind or rain in the city these two days. Everything is fine," Qin Huai mused. Other than cultivating, he had already been cooped up in his room for two days.

"Senior brother!"

Luo Ya ran over again. In the past few days, it seemed that the only person who was close to him was this Little Junior Sister.

When the others faced Qin Huai, they all seemed to be distant and awkward. 

"Is there any news from the city?" Qin Huai guessed that it was most likely the Blackhawk Gang's wanted murderer.

"The man we killed that day was indeed Black Wolf, the nephew of the chief of the Blackhawk Gang." Luo Ya was a little flustered. "The Blackhawk Gang has put out a reward of 100 taels for your information."

"In other words, I haven't been exposed." Qin Huai understood.

"As long as there's no traitor in the apothecary, " Luo Ya said, panicking. "Many people in the apothecary know about this. I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before the news gets out. 

"Senior Brother, please follow me to the Luo mansion. Father knows people from the eight big martial arts centers. Although the matter of killing Black Wolf won't be resolved, at least they won't dare to send people into the city to kill people."

… 

In the backyard of the apothecary, the crowd looked at each other with an arrest warrant in their hands.

"Find the murderer who killed the nephew of the Blackhawk Gang's chief. As long as you provide any clues, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"

After Gu Erwa finished reading, everyone started to grumble.

"Qin Huai, why did you provoke the Blackhawk Gang?"

"Yeah, we can't even eat our fill now."

"The meat of the month is gone~"

"A hero saving a beauty, sacrificing our entire apothecary!"

"Master said not to mention that matter again!" someone reminded them.

"I know, I know." Gu Erwa nodded his head vigorously, but his eyes could not help but drift to the wanted order.

Although this year's grain prices had soared and money was not valuable, it was still a very good thing. However, one hundred taels was still not a small amount.

"Qin Huai is here."

It was unknown who said this, but everyone immediately scattered. All that was left was the bounty notice.

Qin Huai looked at the bounty notice on the stone table and was silent for a moment. Then, he left to take a stroll.

"I still have to hurry up and improve my strength." Qin Huai muttered to himself.

The level of the Qi cultivation technique was infinitely close to level 50, and had now stopped at level 49 (802/1000). In other words, as long as he had two more days and two more waves of experience, he would be able to enter level 50 Qi cultivation technique.

Furthermore, the feeling that he was about to welcome the second transformation of his blood Qi and body was getting stronger. 

This was probably the intuition of a martial artist. There was no mistake.

That night, Master Liu Changyue gathered everyone together again. He had repeatedly emphasized that this matter was not to be disclosed. Those who disobeyed the order would be expelled from the apothecary.
