Chapter Thirty-Seven: Cutting Grass and Eradicating Roots
"Isn't this Young Master Qin! What a coincidence, running into you here too!"
Qin Yong exclaimed in a sarcastic tone, glancing around to make sure no one was paying attention, before sneering: "Come to think of it, I should really thank you, Qin Li and Young Master Qin. If it weren't for you, I'd still be stuck with the Qin family and wouldn't have regained my freedom!" The gratitude in Qin Yong's words was laced with venom that even a three-year-old could detect.
Qin Li, however, seemed to have not heard it at all, and a smile appeared on his face as he said: "Really? That's great, I haven't had breakfast yet. Would you like to treat me to a meal? You know, I've been really tight on money lately and often can't eat my fill..."
"You..."
Qin Yong was so angry that he was speechless, having seen shameless people before, but never one as shameless as Qin Li. Was the anger in my eyes not thick enough?
"You little wild species, do you think this is still the Qin family? Today I'll let you know, the anger of a yellow-level third-stage warrior!" Qin Yong said, raising his arm and heavily slapping Qin Li's face. In that instant, a faint yellow glow appeared on Qin Yong's body, clearly using all his strength!
It's obvious that Qin Yong still regards Qin Li as the weak little kid from a few days ago, and he doesn't have the concept of 'people change after three days, so one should treat them with new eyes'.
"Third-class warrior of the Yellow Rank's rage? I'm so scared!"
Qin Li stood up, a sneer spreading from the corner of his mouth, and a cold glint flashing in his eyes. On that day at the Qin family home, Qin Yong had wanted him dead, and if not for Qin Hongyuan standing there, Qin Yong's knife would have definitely not been held back! Although even then it wouldn't have been enough to kill Qin Li, how could he possibly tolerate someone who was full of murderous intent towards him remaining in this world?
It's not worth it to be so worked up over a small role like Qin Yong!
Qin Li's expression didn't change, and he waited until Qin Yong's palm was close to him before striking like lightning. His five fingers were curved like an eagle's claw, grabbing towards Qin Yong's wrist.
It was the Eagle Claw skill that Qin Li had learned in his previous life, now it should be called Eagle Claw Battle Technique. There was no fluctuation of Yuan force on Qin Li's body at all, but those five fingers that were curled into eagle claws gave people a sharp and pointed feeling.
Qin Yong was immediately shocked, and a flash of horror flashed in his eyes. Before he could react, he heard a crisp cracking sound, followed by a sharp pain that suddenly attacked him, causing Qin Yong to involuntarily let out a miserable cry.
"Ah!"
Qin Yong's right hand, which was infused with yuan energy, was actually pinched off by Qin Li! This was still the result of Qin Li holding back after seeing someone looking over here; otherwise, a single palm would have severed Qin Yong's entire hand at the wrist!
But letting Qin Yong off like this is simply impossible.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Qin Li raised his hands and struck Qin Yong's vital points with lightning speed, dealing a few ruthless blows. For the time being, he won't feel anything, but three days later, he will definitely die a sudden death!
This move, in his past life, Qin Li had only used it once. That time, he used it on a person who killed his brother and was still shouting that Qin Li didn't dare to kill him. Now, using this move again, Qin Li's heart only felt a refreshing and exhilarating feeling!
He swung his arm and slapped Qin Yong fiercely, sneering: "A powerful Huang-level third-stage warrior? Bah! Get out of my sight!"
Qin Yong's right hand was definitely crippled, he gave Qin Li a resentful and venomous look, gritting his teeth and saying: "As long as I don't die... Qin Li, I will definitely take revenge on you!"
"You have no chance." Qin Li waved his hand lightly: "Go back and prepare for the aftermath!"
Qin Yong thought to himself at this moment: As soon as I go back, I will immediately move away from Huangsha City. This little wild species must be looking for the Qin family or the Shangguan family to take revenge on me. I absolutely won't give him such an opportunity! However, you will get my revenge!
On that day, Qin Yong hastily moved out of the Yellow Sand City and never appeared in people's sight again. Until his death, he did not understand how he died.
Early in the morning, a fight broke out, and after verifying it, I found that my unique martial arts skills are indeed powerful. Qin Li was quite happy about it. However, several hunters who came early looked at Qin Li with eyes filled with fear, as he was able to defeat a yellow-level third-stage warrior with just a few moves, which requires incredibly strong abilities!
Especially Qin Li looks too young! Although he is not short, his face looks clear and angular, and quite rugged, but at most 15 or 16 years old. Those who can cultivate to the seventh or eighth stage of Huang level at the age of 15 or 16 will have great development in the future, but it's not something they can afford to offend!
Hunter's Guild, Ah Hu's reputation is so loud here, isn't it because he has the strength of Xuan Seventh Stage at the age of over 30? In the entire Yellow Sand City Hunter's Guild, Ah Hu is also one of the top hunters!
When Ah Hu and his men arrived, the sky was already bright, a ray of sunlight had shot out from the horizon, illuminating the earth with a golden hue.
Seeing Qin Li seemed to have arrived early, Ah Hu walked over and laughed loudly: "Qin younger brother came so early!"
Qin Li smiled and said, "For the first time, I'm a bit excited!"
On the other side, Bu Yunyan's eyes sparkled like silk as she smiled and said: "Oh my, I didn't realize it, but this is Qin brother's first time, isn't it!"
"Is that so, Cloud Smoke sister is really that interested in me? The sky is still early, why don't we...” Qin Li was a person who wouldn't take advantage of others, how could he tolerate this woman teasing him again and again.
As expected, Bù Yún's face turned slightly red as she scolded: "Men are all useless, you little brat! Sister isn't interested in you!"
He Lao San and Li Jian several people see Bu Yunyan eating a flatbread, all secretly laugh.
At this time, someone next to him asked: "Which of you has seen Qin Yong from the Qin family? I made an appointment with him to meet here, why hasn't he come yet?"
Someone glanced cautiously at Qin Li and then lowered their voice, whispering a few words to the other person. The warrior's face showed surprise, and his eyes looked at Qin Li with a hint of reverence before he walked away quietly.
A few people asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
"Nothing's wrong," Qin Li said with a casual smile, "I just got into a fight."
Seeing Qin Li's casual tone, Ah Hu didn't take it seriously. To be honest, in the Hunter Association, there weren't many people who dared to openly provoke Ah Hu and his team. Apart from Ah Hu, He Lao San was at Yellow Rank 8th stage, Bu Yunyan was at Yellow Rank 7th stage, Li Jian was at Yellow Rank 9th stage, while Cold Beauty Leng Yao had reached Mystic Rank 1st stage.
Such team strength is also one of the best in the entire guild!
Ah Hu saw that everyone had arrived, and then checked the necessary equipment for the outdoors again. He looked at Qin Li and said: "Qin younger brother is going out with us for the first time, so you don't need to bring anything. Just think of it as a chance to gain some experience. As for benefits, you'll definitely get your share too. What do you guys think?"
Li Jian and others nodded in agreement, with no objections to Ah Hu's words. In fact, apart from Ah Hu, the others also had some private motives. Now everyone knows that Qin Li is the son-in-law of the Shangguan family, getting along well with Qin Li is equivalent to getting along well with the Shangguan family to a certain extent. Otherwise, who would be willing to bring such a burden?
Qin Li said: "Ah Hu big brother, since I've decided to join you guys, of course I'll also contribute my share of strength!"
"Cut it out, you little brat! It's good that you're not holding us back!" Bù Yún sneered at Qín Lì with a puffed up face, clearly still resentful about being teased and failing to tease him back just now.
Qin Li smiled slightly and stopped talking.
Several men, Ah Hu, Li Jian and He Lao San, were carrying heavy bundles on their backs. Bixi Yunyan and Leng Yao were also dressed in a strong attire. Ah Hu saw that Qin Li had empty hands and said: "Let's go! When we leave the city, let's buy a weapon for Brother Qin. It's not good to have empty hands!"
Qin felt a warmth in her heart. People with or without ulterior motives can be discerned. She thought to herself: Ahu, one day I will repay you!
