A surge of deadly crisis surged in Qin Feiyang’s heart.

Swish!

Without a second thought, he deployed Phantom Step and quickly dodged to the side.

In the next instant.

The black shadow flashed past the spot where he had been standing!

"Who?"

Qin Feiyang shouted angrily.

He was already drenched in a cold sweat!

Because if he had been a second, no, half a second later.

Even half a second later, the black shadow would definitely have passed through his body, and he would have perished!

However.

When he saw the face of the black shadow clearly, he was stunned.

It was a falcon, its body only the size of an adult’s palm, with piercing eyes glinting sharply.

And he had seen this falcon somewhere before.

That’s right!

He remembered.

The little guy in front of him was the falcon that had been scared away by Wang Zicheng atop the mountain.

Only now, its body had shrunk, which is why he hadn’t recognized it at first glance.

"Why did you attack me?"

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow and asked angrily.

"I couldn’t kill him, so of course, I could only kill you to vent my anger!"

The falcon let out a sinister smile, and Saint Prestige erupted again, pouncing towards Qin Feiyang once more.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Feiyang was puzzled.

But in the next moment, he understood.

It turned out this falcon wanted to kill Wang Zicheng but admitted it didn’t have the ability, so it planned to kill him to vent its anger.

He seriously assessed the falcon and quickly deduced its cultivation, Four-star War Saint!

"If you want to vent, at least pick the right person."

"Coming for me, you’re just courting death!"

A flash of killing intent appeared in Qin Feiyang’s eyes, and he charged up, striking with a palm in mid-air, golden light erupting from his palm.

——Counter Curse Manual!

Chirp!

With a mournful cry, the falcon was instantly blasted away, its body cracked, staining the sky with blood!

"So strong!"

The falcon’s pupils constricted.

It thought it could easily kill a one-star War Saint, but didn’t expect Qin Feiyang to be this terrifying.

Swoosh!

It was frightened.

Using the impact from the Counter Curse Manual, it turned to flee.

"I’m not as merciful as Wang Zicheng!"

Qin Feiyang let out a cold smile, stepping with Phantom Step to pursue quickly.

Whether human or beast, as long as they dared to plot against him, he would never let them go!

Although the falcon was a Four-star War Saint, Phantom Step could enhance the speed by four small realms.

Meaning, Qin Feiyang’s current speed could match that of a Five-Star War Saint.

In just a few blinks, Qin Feiyang caught up with the falcon, red Sword Qi surging, transforming into a world-ending torrent, rushing towards the falcon!

"I know I was wrong, please don’t kill me!"

Feeling the intense killing intent and sharpness, the falcon shuddered in fear and panic.

"If I hadn’t mastered the perfect auxiliary battle skill, I would have already died under your claws. Now you want me to spare you, do you think that’s possible?"

Qin Feiyang sneered.

"I really know I was wrong, please spare me, how about this, you spare me, and I’ll tell you a secret."

The falcon stopped fleeing, knowing it couldn’t escape, and turned to plead at Qin Feiyang.

"A secret?"

Qin Feiyang was stunned, then with a thought, the red Sword Qi stopped in mid-air, and he said coldly, "Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance, speak quickly!"

The falcon said, "There’s a relic hidden beneath this island."

"A relic!"

Qin Feiyang’s eyes shone, asking, "Exact location."

The falcon said, "Exactly in the sea, enter the seabed from the southwest side of this island, and you’ll see a cave, inside the cave is it."

Qin Feiyang looked up at the southwest direction, then looked at the falcon, frowning, "If there’s a relic, why don’t you go?"

"I can’t get in."

The falcon said helplessly.

"What? Even you can’t get in?"

Qin Feiyang said in shock. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Yes."

"The entrance of the cave is sealed with a barrier, I tried many ways but couldn’t break it."

The falcon said.

"So, this relic must be extraordinary..."

Qin Feiyang was intrigued.

Relics are usually left by ancient people, if the falcon wasn’t lying, there must be some treasure hidden there.

"Brother, why are there fluctuations of battle? Did something happen?"

At this moment.

Wang Zicheng’s worried voice echoed from the mountain top.

Swish!

The falcon trembled and immediately turned to flee hastily, seemingly having its fear of Wang Zicheng imprinted deep in its soul.

However, Qin Feiyang didn’t intercept it and let it leave.

"Brother, is there anything wrong, please respond quickly!"

Wang Zicheng’s voice rang out again.

"I’m fine."

"Just a reckless beast tried to ambush me, it has been dealt with."

Qin Feiyang replied.

"Alright then, be careful. Although the beasts on this island aren’t strong, some can still harm you."

Wang Zicheng instructed loudly.

"Got it."

Qin Feiyang responded, pondered for a moment, then turned towards the southwest.

No matter if the falcon lied or not, it was necessary to verify it.

With Qin Feiyang’s speed, he soon arrived at the seaside.

Glancing at the calm sea surface, he took a deep breath, removed a Water-Repelling Pearl, and jumped straight in.

The surface was calm, but the undercurrent was surging beneath the sea, though, with the Water-Repelling Pearl, it couldn’t affect him.

He quickly descended all the way, after about a hundred breaths, he finally reached the seabed.

The seabed was covered with silt accumulated over countless years, nearby traces of sea beasts were faintly detectable.

But their aura wasn’t very strong.

Then.

Qin Feiyang was at the seabed, carefully searching around the island.

"There really is one!"

After about a dozen breaths, he felt a surge of joy in his heart, having truly found a cavern.

The entrance of the cavern had a diameter of about two meters, extending deep into the depths beneath the island, shrouded in darkness.

"It said earlier that there’s a barrier sealing the entrance..."

Staring at the cavern, Qin Feiyang paused for a moment, tentatively raising his hand toward the entrance.

Buzz!

Suddenly!

A dazzling curtain of light appeared at the entrance, blocking Qin Feiyang’s hand.

"This..."

Qin Feiyang was astonished.

This light screen contained a terrible imperial might, giving him a strong sense of oppression.

Clearly.

This was indeed a relic, and it was left by a mighty War Emperor.

Although the Forgotten Continent and Great Qin Empire had many War Emperors revealed, it didn’t mean they could be underestimated.

In this era where Pseudo Gods haven’t appeared, War Emperors stand at the pinnacle of this world.

Each one possesses Heaven and Earth’s abilities!

Therefore, relics left by any War Emperor can be compared to a great treasure.

And for someone like Qin Feiyang, obtaining a War Emperor’s relic is a massive Fortune.

So.

Qin Feiyang was very excited.

Unexpectedly coming to this place, he managed to find a treasure.

Boom!

Suddenly.

He unleashed his Battle Intent at full force, striking that barrier with all his might.

However.

The barrier showed no sign of breaking, instead rebounding with force, sending him flying.

The insides were severely injured, and a mouthful of purple-gold Dragon Blood was spat out.

"It seems breaking through by force won’t work."

Steadying himself, he stood at a distance, looking at the dark cavern, his brows tightly knitted.

"So you’re here."

Suddenly.

A cold voice sounded in Qin Feiyang’s mind.

"Wang Zicheng?"

Qin Feiyang’s heart skipped, looking up to see Wang Zicheng standing above, looking angrily at him.

Qin Feiyang raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why did you come?"

"After hearing your reply, I thought something felt off, so I followed all the way here."

"I never expected you’d find a relic."

"But that’s not the point."

"The point is, I trusted you, yet you kept this from me, don’t you think that’s a bit much?"

Wang Zicheng said angrily.

Qin Feiyang chuckled, "Search your conscience and say that again, do you really trust me?"

Wang Zicheng was momentarily speechless.

"I admit, I do have a favorable impression of you."

"But to trust you wholeheartedly, that’s something I can’t do, especially since we just met recently."

"I believe you think the same, otherwise you wouldn’t be at a loss for words now."

Qin Feiyang said.

"So what if it’s true?"

"At least I’m not like you, always guarding against others."

Wang Zicheng sneered, landing beside Qin Feiyang, looking at the cavern entrance.

"I don’t know you, is it wrong to be cautious?"

Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes.

In this world, except for a few people, no one can be completely trusted.

"Enough, stop the nonsense."

Wang Zicheng impatiently waved his hand, then suddenly charged toward the cavern.

Qin Feiyang’s expression changed, hurriedly shouting, "I tried just now, it can’t be broken by force, quickly come back!"

"Can you compare to me?"

"If you can’t, doesn’t mean I can’t either."

Wang Zicheng sneered.

"Well, whatever."

Qin Feiyang decided to ignore it.

He kindly advised, but if unappreciated, he could be sarcastic instead?

Fine!

If you want to suffer, go ahead.

"Break it!"

Wang Zicheng rushed to the cavern, with a low roar, punched the barrier with full strength.

Boom!

Immediately.

An aura of terror surged through the place, with the seawater leaping in turmoil.

Qin Feiyang retreated swiftly.

And at the same time!

Wang Zicheng cried out in pain, tossed by the barrier, spitting blood, his arm torn open.

Finally, with a thud, he crashed into the mud not far from Qin Feiyang, looking utterly miserable.

"Seems the stronger the force, the greater the rebound." Qin Feiyang glanced at the barrier, then looked at Wang Zicheng, saying calmly, "I advised you, but you didn’t listen."

Wang Zicheng climbed up, shook off the mud, angrily said, "But you didn’t say this barrier rebounds and that it’s so strong!"

"Unreasonable."

Qin Feiyang glanced at him, then looked at the barrier again, deep in thought.

Wang Zicheng also stared at the barrier, his face filled with anger.

"Got it!"

Who knows how long passed, but Qin Feiyang’s eyes lit up.

"What did you get?"

"Don’t tell me, you have a way to break this barrier."

Wang Zicheng said.

He didn’t believe for a second that Qin Feiyang’s cultivation could achieve this.

"Sorry, but I do have a way."

Qin Feiyang smiled calmly.

"Hmm?"

Wang Zicheng was slightly taken aback, skeptically asking, "What way?"

Qin Feiyang flipped his hand, revealing a rib bone.

"Ah!"

Seeing the rib bone, Wang Zicheng’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
