The materials for making talismans and refining array flags and array plates were all present in the materials Zhang Xianzong brought last time, and there were quite a lot of them.

Overnight, Qin Feng produced more than fifty attack and defense talismans.

Although he can create talismans that combine offense and defense, their offensive and defensive capabilities are not as powerful as those that are only one type.

A talisman that combines offense and defense can only severely injure or defend against attacks from the Profound Realm, but a single offensive or defensive talisman can severely injure or defend against attacks from the Earth Realm.

Fifty-odd attack and defense talismans were more than enough. After resting for a while, Qin Feng began to try refining array plates and array flags.

Because it was his first time refining it, he was extremely careful.

However, the results were not ideal, and he failed several times in a row.

But he was not discouraged. Failure is the mother of success. As long as he persevered and learned from his failures, he would eventually succeed.

Anyway, there are plenty of materials, so he won't feel bad even if he fails a few more times.

After a day and a night, Qin Feng finally succeeded in refining an array plate.

He persevered and spent three hours crafting three array plates and four array flags.

The four array plates and four array flags are just enough to set up a small defensive array.

Qin Feng set up the formation and then created five array symbols that could freely enter and exit the small defensive formation.

He handed over all five array talismans, along with the fifty-odd attack and defense talismans he had previously crafted, to Zhang Xianzong.

He didn't explain anything to Zhang Xianzong, only informing him that without the array talisman, he couldn't enter or leave the villa.

Although Zhang Xianzong was curious, he wisely refrained from asking the reason.

He knew Qin Feng had many secrets and was very curious about them, but he knew not to ask what he shouldn't ask or delve into.

For example, he also had his own secrets, which Qin Feng knew, but he never asked him about them.

Qin Feng took a shower and slept, and it was evening by then.

Qin Feng walked out of the bedroom, where Yang Xue, Jiang Xinyan, and Zhang Xianzong were sitting in the living room eating dinner.

Jiang Xinyan saw Qin Feng and waved immediately. "Brother, come and eat!"

Just as Qin Feng was about to walk over, he suddenly sensed the presence of three martial artists outside the villa. They were brazen and their intentions were clearly hostile.

A cold glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes, then he looked at Jiang Xinyan and smiled. "I have something to do and need to go out for a bit. You guys eat first."

Jiang Xinyan asked suspiciously, "What could you possibly want so late at night?"

Yang Xue complained, speechless. "You've been cooped up in your bedroom for almost two days, not eating or drinking. You're probably going to become a god."

Zhang Xianzong frowned slightly. He also sensed the presence of three martial artists outside the villa, all of whom were extremely powerful and should be experts at the Earth Realm.

Qin Feng didn't respond. He walked to the door, opened it, and went out.

Outside the fence in front of the villa gate.

There were three people standing there: two old men, one wearing a blue robe and the other a green robe, and a round-faced, burly man with a fierce look on his face.

At this moment, all three of them turned their gazes to Qin Feng.

One person was curious, one was disdainful, and one was surprised and suspicious.

"You're Qin Feng?"

The old man in the green robe sized up Qin Feng with a glint in his eye. "I heard you're already at the Earth Realm at such a young age, but why don't I see any martial artist aura in you?"

"Did you use a concealment technique?"

Qin Feng glanced at the old man in the green robe. "I have no need to satisfy your curiosity."

"Speak, who sent you?"

The old man in the green robe chuckled. "Young man, you're a bit too arrogant!"

"My name is Ye Ping, from the Ye family of Beijing!"

"You killed Ye Ming and Young Master Ye Ziqing, now I'm here to take your life!"

The old man in green robes said calmly, "I am a member of the Song family from the capital. I've come to settle accounts with you because you caused the Song family to miss out on an important project!"

The round-faced man smiled and said, "I am a member of the Jiang family from the capital. You broke Young Master Jiang's leg, and I will break your limbs instead."

Qin Feng glanced around, then raised his right hand and beckoned to Ye Ping and the other two.

"Since you're all here to cause trouble, then come at me all at once!"

"Arrogant!" Ye Ping sneered. "The three of us are all at the late stage of the Earth Realm, and we disdain joining forces to attack a junior like you."

"Wait a moment, let the three of us discuss it and see who should make the first move."

After saying that, he looked at the green-robed elder and the round-faced man and said, "Gentlemen, our Ye family has a deep-seated grudge with this young man. How about I make the first move?"

The old man in the green robe and the round-faced giant both looked indifferent and said in unison, "Go ahead!"

"Kid, you should be glad I struck first, otherwise you wouldn't have suffered any pain!"

Ye Ping looked at Qin Feng with a smile. "Because I'm quick and ruthless, I absolutely won't let you feel any pain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ping decisively made his move, using his finger as a sword, and a sharp, invisible sword aura shot towards Qin Feng.

"interesting!"

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes and condensed a layer of spiritual energy barrier in front of him.

The sword energy struck the spiritual energy barrier without causing the slightest ripple, instantly dissipating into nothingness.

"You're projecting your true energy outwards! You really are at the Earth Realm!"

Ye Ping's pupils dilated instantly, his face filled with disbelief.

The old man in green robes and the round-faced giant looked at Qin Feng with suspicion and uncertainty. They had been watching him closely ever since he made his move.

However, they could not sense any martial arts aura emanating from Qin Feng.

They didn't even see how the spiritual energy barrier appeared, as Qin Feng remained completely still.

"Don't just stand there, make your move now, or you won't even have a chance to fight back."

Qin Feng looked at Ye Ping with a half-smile. He had thought that martial artists had very limited attack methods, but he never expected that the other party would open his eyes to something new.

Use your fingers as a sword to unleash sword energy.

It seems that martial arts are not as simple as he imagined.

The martial artists he had encountered before weren't too weak; rather, he attacked too quickly, giving them no chance to show their skills.

"Extremely arrogant!"

Ye Ping snorted coldly, his face extremely gloomy. He clasped his hands together and raised them slightly, shouting.

"Let me show you the sword technique I recently mastered, 'One Strike Startles the Wilderness'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a blinding white light was released between Ye Ping's palms, and in the blink of an eye, the white light transformed into a seven- or eight-meter-long lightsaber.

Immediately following, a sword slash came down.

A seemingly ordinary sword strike contains a terrifying killing intent.

Qin Feng sensed the danger and dared not be careless, so he quickly dodged away.

Just as Qin Feng dodged, the lightsaber struck the ground where he had just been standing.

With a loud "boom," a crack, twenty or thirty centimeters wide and more than ten meters long, appeared on the ground.

The depth is at least twenty meters or more, which is quite terrifying.

"Hmph, weren't you pretty arrogant just now?"

Why hide?

Ye Ping smiled contemptuously and swept his lightsaber towards Qin Feng.

Just as the lightsaber was about to strike Qin Feng, he suddenly vanished without a trace.

Ye Ping's expression changed drastically instantly, and he looked around frantically. "Where is everyone?"
