After lunch, everyone returned to their rooms for a short rest.
This afternoon will be the most crucial battle in the fight for the championship, a battle that determines victory or defeat, and also the ultimate battle to determine which family will take home the championship.
Qin Wushuang hadn't slept at all, he was just sitting cross-legged in meditation.
A warrior's intuition made him feel that the struggle for the title of the strongest family couldn't end this simply.
The Haomen Xushi family is greedy and cruel, they want to take advantage of the poor Qinshi family's property, it can be seen that their heart is not kind. Now they want them to easily give up the Haomen seat, this does not conform to the consistent style of the Xushi family.
Even in the throes of death, there will still be twists and turns.
Qin Wushuang was in no hurry, waiting for the powerful Xushi family to make a move. Standing at the advantageous position of the Qin family now, he didn't need to take the initiative to provoke trouble either.
The title of the Haomen Xushi will only exist before the war starts in the afternoon. For a rotten and crumbling mansion, it's not necessary to push it again, that's just a waste of time. Let it fall down by itself, this is the smartest choice.
Suddenly, Qin Wu's eyelids moved, and his eyes opened like an eagle, with a flash of strange light.
As expected, it really came.
There are three people who can match Da Xuan's strength, and any one of them is enough to contend with the master of a great family like Da Xuan.
One of them is even more like a refined and cultivated gentleman than Da Yu Heng himself.
Qin Wushuang's mind was filled with a sense of astonishment, but he quickly regained his composure. Four words immediately flashed through his mind - Ximen Dafang.
The small Luojiang County, it's impossible for three strong men of this level to appear all at once. Considering the recent mountain-shaking and tiger-stirring events, it must be that Ximen Qian secretly sent out a distress signal to his family and dispatched the Shengli Army!
Those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come.
"Mr. Qin and his son, come out and say a few words."
A gloomy voice, condensed into a sound wave with true energy, penetrated the corridor of the inn and was delivered directly to Qin's father and son.
Just this one move of condensing sound into a line is enough to reveal the true strength of the person who came.
Although this voice line has not yet reached a perfect flow, it still sounds somewhat disjointed, but to have such cultivation, it can be inferred that he should not be just a simple Seventh Stage of the True Martial Realm.
Someone has arrived, and it's actually a strong warrior with a true martial realm of eight segments?
Qin Wushuang would not allow anyone to disturb his family, so he walked out of the house and whispered outside his father's door: "Father, you are here, I will go."
After a moment of feeling, she realized that the three people who had come were already waiting outside the yard, and this area was no longer threatened. Only then did Qin Wushuang feel at ease to walk out.
In the courtyard, three people stood in a triangular formation, each occupying one corner. Among them was a tall and imposing figure clad in black robes, whose gaze was as sharp as lightning, fixed intently on Qin Wushuang as he walked out.
"Who comes?"
Qin Wushuang swept his gaze around, and in his heart, he secretly felt a chill. The three people who came had different temperaments, but from their bodies, they all had a familiar stern and murderous aura.
This temperament, Qin Wushuang had also experienced it on Leng Xue's eleventh. And these three people are even more so than Leng Xue's eleventh!
One True Martial Realm 8th stage, two True Martial Realm 7th stages!
Qin Wushuang quickly grasped the situation, his heart chilled, thinking that the Ximen family was indeed full of talented people. With just these three men, they could rampage through Luojiang County. Even if they killed their way into the Da Xi family's home, they would surely be able to wipe out the entire household.
"You don't need to know who we are." The man in black slowly opened his mouth, his voice seemingly coming from a ghost from the nine hells, eerily cold and chilling.
"Just remember one thing: in this afternoon's competition for the top families, the Qin family of the lower class must voluntarily give up their rights."
"Give me a reason." Qin Wushuang didn't dare to be slow. At the eighth stage of Zhenwu, he asked himself if he could resist with brute force, but the other side had three people, two of whom were seventh-stage powerhouses assisting, making this battle not easy to fight.
"If you don't want the Qin family to be exterminated and not a single chicken or dog left, then giving up is your only choice. Otherwise, within ten days, the Qin family will disappear from the map of Baiyue Kingdom."
If it were a threat from the mouth of the wealthy Xushi family, Qin Wushuang could have laughed it off; but coming from these three people in front of him, he couldn't help but think deeply and weigh his options.
Seeing Qin Wushuang's contemplation, the black-robed old man said: "I know that there must be some extraordinary encounters on your small body as a young martial artist, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to defeat the fourth segment of the True Martial Realm. However, I want to remind you that it doesn't represent anything. The fourth segment of the True Martial Realm is just the beginning. Compared to top-notch masters in the upper echelons of the True Martial Realm, it's nothing."
Whether it is Zhenwu Realm or Liwu Realm, they are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. Each grade has three stages, and only when reaching the seventh stage can one be qualified to be called upper grade.
Undoubtedly, the three great enemies in front of him were all top-notch True Martial Realm cultivators.
Thus, the words of this black-robed man were full of confidence, filled with a condescending and cold attitude, pointing his chin at others, high above them, in their eyes it was all a matter of course.
In Luojiang County, if the person being threatened was anyone else, even the master of the Daqi family, they would probably have to swallow their pride and agree under duress.
However, they encountered Qin Wushuang instead.
Qin Wushuang, who has never compromised in his two lifetimes and has never bowed his head to the powerful!
Taking a deep breath, Qin Wushuang slowly raised his head and gazed at the three people with determination.
"Have you thought it through?" The man in black robes scolded impatiently.
"Considered it clearly......" Qin Wushuang suddenly burst out laughing, and in his smile, there was a hint of evil spirit that absolutely didn't belong to a young man.
Threats and intimidation are no different from the shame of killing one's father and stealing his wife for a former master of the great martial arts.
And these three people, were so brazenly boasting in front of him, what's the difference from directly slapping his face? One's head can be chopped off, blood can flow, but one's face is something that cannot be slapped.
"Roughly speaking, if the humble Qin family doesn't know how to show gratitude, the powerful backer of the Xus will wipe out my entire Qin clan. Am I misunderstanding?" Qin Wushuang asked with a cold smile.
"You understand very accurately." The man in black chuckled lightly.
"Although I understand the considerations, I have decided - not to give up!"
After saying this, Qin Wushuang's momentum suddenly surged, and he gazed at the three of them with an air of arrogance, his expression full of disdain. He had a strong aura of "I'll go even if there are thousands or tens of thousands of people".
"A true martial artist of the eighth rank, and two of the seventh rank. No wonder they're the running dogs of the Western Gate's overlord." Qin Wushuang sneered, his hand already pressing down on a stone bench beside him.
With a burst of internal energy, just one strike, a loud "crack" sound, the stone bench suddenly shattered into pieces of rubble, collapsing with a rumble, and scattering everywhere.
"I'd like to see who will be the first to make a move, you Ximen clan or me, Qin Wushuang!" Qin Wushuang sneered at the three of them, "I also have something for you to consider: if anyone from my Qin family is injured, I will kill ten people from the Ximen clan as compensation; if two people are injured, I will exterminate the entire Ximen clan! No one will be left alive!"
After finishing speaking, with a grasp of his palm, the true energy rolled up that pile of gravel and divided it into three powerful gusts of wind, which were sent flying towards the three people.
These three dark energies were grasped with extreme precision and sharpness.
Like three dragons emerging from a cave, their momentum is unmatched, and they implicitly contain the power to swallow and spit out the winds and clouds.
The black-robed man was shocked and saw such a momentum, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, who dared to be arrogant? He hastily dodged.
Those two strong men in the Seventh Stage of Zhenwu Realm were inferior to Hei Pao, and naturally they didn't dare to be careless. They retreated one after another, crying out in distress.
They also learned from intelligence that a demonic martial arts prodigy had emerged from the Qin family, but they never expected it to be this shocking!
Qin Wushuang only sought to establish his dominance and had no intention of killing the enemy. As soon as he made a move, he suddenly let out a loud whistle, the sound of which was like thunder and lightning, shaking the air, and in an instant, it spread throughout nearly half of the Lujiang County city.
After a long whistle, Qin Wushuang shouted sternly: "I, Qin Wushuang, put my words here. Xishi, even with the backing of the powerful Ximen family, you will not escape defeat today! The mighty Xishi family, from now on, no longer exists! If your Ximen family wants to intervene, this lawsuit will be fought all the way to the True Martial Sacred Land, and I will definitely see it through to the end!"
The black-robed man changed color and secretly cursed the cunning of the Qin family.
Just now, Qin Wushuang let out a loud shout. He had already vaguely felt that something was off. Sure enough, Qin Wushuang's ear-piercingly loud voice could probably be heard by half of the city of Luojiang.
The envoys of Zhenwu Shengdi are not deaf, is there any reason why they would not be informed?
The power of the Ximen clan is overwhelming, and can secretly threaten, use sinister tactics, and employ poisonous schemes. However, all this must be based on one premise: keeping a distance from the True Martial Sacred Land. Once discovered by the True Martial Sacred Land, even someone as powerful as Ximen Dafu would not dare to act rashly!
Qin Wushuang naturally knew the trick inside, and this sound that contained the "Lion's Roar" secret was also based on borrowing the majesty of the True Martial Sacred Land to intimidate the Western Gate's Grand Elder.
Ximen's plan to make Fang Zhongyu surrender can only be a conspiracy that bypasses the true power of the Wu Sacred Land.
Once this conspiracy is exposed and becomes a overt plot, it will inevitably come to nothing.
But Qin Wushuang's roar made the conspiracy have nowhere to hide. His roar was so loud that the true martial arts envoys found it hard not to hear.
The man in black let out a low shout and called to his companions: "This place is not suitable for staying long, let's go!"
The title of this chapter comes from Mencius' "Gongsun Chou Shang", the original text is "Self-reflection and contraction, even if there are thousands of people, I will go". The general meaning is to say: self-examination, justice is in my hands, even if the opponent has thousands of troops, I will still advance bravely. The title of this chapter means that as long as reason is on one's side, even if there are thousands of troops in front, Qin Wushuang will charge forward fearlessly!
