Easy Way of Cultivation: Power Harvesting

Chapter 479 - 261: Seizing the King’s Soldier Barehanded, Taking the Qin Family’s Throne

The ancestral artifact in the hands of the Qin Family’s Second Ancestor exuded a terrifying aura.

The so-called ancestral artifact was actually a Half-King Soldier. Since no Martial King Powerhouse ever emerged from the Qin Family’s ancestors, it was naturally impossible for them to own a King’s Soldier.

This Half-King Soldier was crafted at great cost after the Qin Family’s founding ancestor helped establish the Great Victory Dynasty and invited a Martial King to engrave a Martial King Array onto his weapon.

Boom!

The Half-King Soldier emitted an aura surpassing the Martial Venerable Realm, sweeping in like a mountain collapse or tsunami, aiming directly for Wei Fan’s head. The Qin Family’s Second Ancestor’s face showed a crazed expression as his life force rapidly diminished.

Even a Half-King Soldier cannot be wielded by an average Martial Venerable, which is why he hadn’t used the ancestral artifact in a desperate fight against Wei Fan earlier.

Using such an ancestral artifact requires even a common Martial Venerable to sacrifice some of their life force.

"I regret not having the courage to perish with you before, leading to today’s predicament!"

The Qin Family’s Second Ancestor regrettably thought, now having the courage to fight Wei Fan with all his might, but it’s too late. Even if he were to kill Wei Fan today, the Qin Family’s dynasty wouldn’t remain stable.

His life force was already on the brink of exhaustion, and using the ancestral artifact would leave nothing of him, causing the Qin Family, without a Martial Venerable, to lose the throne.

"I also regret my mercy back then, thinking that destroying your Qin Family might lead to turmoil in the Great Victory Dynasty, causing people to suffer. I spared your Qin Family twice and almost harmed my friends!"

Wei Fan, holding the Jiaolong Sunset Bow in one hand, stepped forward and struck out with his palm, directly countering the Half-King Soldier with bare hands.

"Attack!"

In the next moment, a shout rang out as three figures dashed forward like lightning, launching an attack on Wei Fan while he faced the Qin Family’s Second Ancestor’s Half-King Soldier.

All three were Martial Venerable Powerhouses, with two possessing a Five-Colored Golden Body Ninth Forging, and the other a Six-Colored Golden Body Ninth Forging. They were top experts among Martial Venerables.

The three linked their auras, attacking with the momentum of a Triad Formation. The leader, a Six-Colored Golden Body expert, wielded a long blade emitting a sky-shattering aura, disintegrating the entire execution ground into dust!

This was a true King’s Soldier!

The Guangling Sect aimed to kill Wei Fan. Although they didn’t deploy a King-level Expert, like the Profound Crane Sect, they prepared a real King’s Soldier for Wei Fan.

"Not good!"

Xie Cailin and others’ expressions changed slightly. With both a Half-King Soldier and a true King’s Soldier, regardless of which direction Wei Fan defended, he was facing a terrifying attack.

"Finally, these vermin jumped out!"

Only Wei Fan’s expression remained unchanged, his large hand continuing to strike out.

Boom!

Cracks like a spider’s web quickly appeared on the Qin Family’s ancestral artifact, with divinity dispersing like a tidal wave.

The Qin Family’s Second Ancestor’s aged face displayed a look of utter shock: "How is this possible?"

Was Wei Fan’s hand a King’s Soldier? Otherwise, how could he have shattered the Qin Family’s Half-King Soldier ancestral artifact with one palm?

Bang!

In the next moment, in the Qin Family’s Second Ancestor’s view, the ancestral artifact Half-King Soldier exploded suddenly, with fragments swept by a terrifying force, shooting towards him like a deluge.

Unable to dodge, he could only watch helplessly as fragments pierced through his body: "No!"

Bang, bang, bang...

Amid successive explosions, the Qin Family’s Second Ancestor’s body was blasted apart by Half-King Soldier fragments, a mix of bones and flesh splattered with blood.

"Second Ancestor..."

Qin Sheng let out a mournful howl. The Qin Family’s last Martial Venerable was also killed by Wei Fan, along with the ancestral artifact shattered. The Qin Family was essentially annihilated.

A royal family without Martial Venerable Powerhouses was only a matter of time before it got wiped out.

"Die!"

The Guangling Sect’s Six-Colored Golden Body Martial Venerable’s eyes gleamed with ruthlessness. They used the Qin Family’s Second Ancestor as a distraction to catch Wei Fan off guard for this opportunity to attack.

This strike was a combined effort of three Martial Venerable Powerhouses from the Guangling Sect to wield the King’s Soldier.

As long as the King’s Soldier hit Wei Fan, even if Wei Fan had reached the Seven-Colored Golden Body Ninth Forging, he would die, unless Wei Fan had already become a Martial King, a King’s Soldier’s strike could not be withstood!

"Die?"

Wei Fan turned back, half-smiling, extending his hand like lightning before the King’s Soldier could strike him, grabbing it mid-air.

"Is this your reliance? Xuanhe Sect’s Saint Son joined forces with Little Ape King and eighteen other elite Demon Venerables, using the Ten Thousand Demons Array to wield a King’s Soldier and still got slain by me. Is this all the Guangling Sect could muster, a few mere oddities?"

The two with Five-Colored Golden Bodies and one with a Six-Colored Golden Body couldn’t even harness a tenth of the King’s Soldier’s power—how could they harm him, who had now become a Martial King?

Now a Martial King, his body, although not yet comparable to a King’s Soldier, wouldn’t be harmed by a King’s Soldier without a Martial King to wield it.

"Grabbing a King’s Soldier with bare hands?"

The Guangling Sect’s Six-Colored Golden Body Martial Venerable felt a chill, grabbing a King’s Soldier bare-handed and shattering a Half-King Soldier with a single strike—these weren’t feats a Martial Venerable could achieve, not even a Seven-Colored Golden Body Ninth Forging Martial Venerable.

"You, you... you became..."

He stammered, unable to utter the words Martial King, as if they weighed a ton.

Martial King!

Wei Fan has become a Martial King!

Only that could explain why even eighteen Demon Venerables couldn’t kill him, only a Martial King Powerhouse could grab a King’s Soldier with bare hands.

"Spare me!"

He reacted, screaming in panic at the realization that he was fighting a Martial King powerhouse—this was like looking for death with a lantern in the bathroom!

Wei Fan’s eyes were cold and severe: "Too late!"

Boom!

With a swift motion, he pulled over three Martial Venerables from the Guangling Sect and swiftly struck them with a palm.

There was no earth-shattering aura, nor any dazzling display of colors. He didn’t even use any other power; he simply unleashed a strike with his physical strength.

The next moment, the three Martial Venerables from the Guangling Sect exploded under that palm strike, blooming like fireworks and turning into a mist of blood that hung in mid-air.

"So fierce!"

"Could he have already reached the Golden Body Ninth Forging?"

"Wei Fan remains as ruthless as ever, daring to kill even disciples of the Saint Sect of Guangling!"

"For him, killing a Martial Venerable is as easy as crushing an ant!"

...

This scene sent shivers down the spines of many. Within a short span of time, including those from the Guangling Sect, Wei Fan had already killed six or seven Martial Venerable powerhouses, almost one strike per person. No matter their cultivation, their fate was to be blown apart!

"The Great Victory Dynasty’s Imperial Family is finished!"

Xie Cailin was filled with shock, and the Demon Hunter Sub-Palace Master still wanted to save the entire Qin Family. However, these people thought that being associated with the Guangling Sect could handle Wei Fan, but now all the Martial Venerables were dead, making Qin Family’s fate akin to being exterminated.

Moreover, with Wei Fan’s character, killing all the Martial Venerables was not the end, but merely the beginning.

"Good riddance!" Long Jianying exclaimed.

His granddaughter Long Xueyi had mentioned that when Wei Fan returned, the Qin Family wouldn’t even have a chance to regret, and indeed, this was the result.

Having spared the Qin Family twice, Wei Fan showed no further mercy.

"Come here!"

Wei Fan didn’t stop and grabbed Qin Sheng out of thin air: "Any last words?"

Qin Sheng’s face was filled with terror: "Spare me, for the sake of my connection with your old acquaintance, please show mercy, I promise to be a wise ruler..."

"It seems you have no last words!"

Wei Fan casually struck with a palm, smashing Qin Sheng’s head to pieces, leaving only the body which Wei Fan discarded casually.

This guy not only wanted Wei Fan to spare him but still dreamed of continuing as emperor.

"Another emperor slaughtered; Wei Fan is indeed ruthless!"

Everyone watching felt their scalps go numb. Since the founding of the Great Victory Dynasty, there had only been six or seven emperors, yet Wei Fan had single-handedly slaughtered two of them.

"The Great Victory Dynasty is about to change!"

Everyone understood that the Great Victory Dynasty’s reign was about to switch hands. Wei Fan had slaughtered the Imperial Family’s Martial Venerables and the emperor, so even if he didn’t want to seize the Qin Family’s throne, he had to. If he didn’t take over the Qin Family’s reign, the Great Victory Dynasty would indeed descend into chaos.

Sure enough, Wei Fan quickly waved over Shentu Bao and Long Jianying, among others.

"I am not familiar with the members of the Imperial Family, so you will lead people to eliminate them!"

Wei Fan looked at Shentu Bao and began assigning the next tasks.

Shentu Bao, as the Garrison Commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau, was very familiar with all the places in the Capital City and knew where many Imperial Family members lived, so he would lead people to eliminate the remaining members of the Qin Family.

As for Li Yunfei and others, Wei Fan asked them to station at various exits of the Capital City temporarily to restrict entry and exit.

Everyone just stared blankly at him; such actions clearly weren’t just about eliminating the Qin Family but also taking over their reign.

"I didn’t expect that one day I could be part of founding功勋!" Long Jianying got excited like being injected with chicken blood.

Soon, a few of them soared into the sky and flew into the city. The people of the Capital City were still unaware that all the Qin Family’s Martial Venerables and the emperor had been wiped out by Wei Fan. It wasn’t until Li Yunfei, Xie Cailin, and others spread out and controlled access to the city that some of the city’s experts began to react.

"I am Wei Fan. The Qin Family’s Imperial Family is unjust, cruel to accomplishments against demons under false charges. Now all the main culprits have been executed. The Capital City is temporarily taken over by the original Garrison Commander of the Demon Suppression Bureau, Shentu Bao. Everyone shall obey Garrison Commander Shentu’s orders; violators will be executed on the spot!"

Wei Fan shouted with a thunderous voice that spread throughout the Capital City, making everyone understand what had happened.

Under the power of Wei Fan’s name, Shentu Bao smoothly regained control of the Demon Suppression Bureau and began the siege on the Qin Family.

By midday, almost everyone in the Qin Family who needed to be captured was caught and sent to prison awaiting punishment.

Imperial Palace, Jinluan Hall!

Wei Fan sat on the dragon throne: "This thing is a bit of a scorcher, I don’t know why so many people want to sit here, you go ahead and sit!"

He reached out and pulled Long Xueyi over while he stood up himself.

Long Xueyi frowned: "You don’t want to be the emperor of the Great Victory Dynasty?"

She thought Wei Fan would enjoy playing the emperor after seizing the Qin Family’s reign, but it seemed Wei Fan not only didn’t want to be emperor but wanted her to be an empress!

Wei Fan shook his head: "Not interested, how about you become the Empress?"

He would leave the wilderness with Feng Hua soon, and had no time to be emperor, nor was he interested.

Seizing the Qin Family’s reign was only to prevent the Great Victory Dynasty from being turbulent, causing the people to suffer. Otherwise, after eliminating the Qin Family, he would have already left.

Though he didn’t want to be emperor, he could still support someone else to take the role. As long as it was someone he supported, they could certainly maintain the status quo of the Great Victory Dynasty, which was enough.
