Chapter 9: Qin Long's Madness (Third Update Complete)
"It's over..."
"This little guy, actually revealing such a huge weakness at this time!" Qin's old ancestor shook his head, with a hint of unbearable pity in his eyes. In his view, Qin Xuan was simply doomed to die...
Everyone involuntarily closed their eyes and shook their heads in sighs.
"Look quickly!"
Just then, someone shouted and everyone involuntarily looked up again. As soon as they did, they were shocked to the point of almost popping their eyeballs out, even Qin's old ancestor nearly bit his tongue off, staring fixedly at the top of the cliff.
Only to see the top of the cliff, a giant sword's shadow appeared at some point, and the terrifying aura made the top of the cliff wind and waves. Perhaps others didn't know the power of this sword, but Qin Jiangwei, who was under the sword, felt it even more deeply, which almost made him breathe hardly!
Just as Qin Jiangwei was wondering how the young man could burst out with such great power, the dark giant sword had already arrived at his head. Without time to think much, Qin Jiangwei hastily turned from offense to defense, and swung his sword up to meet it.
Ding.
As soon as they came into contact, Qin Jiangwei's face suddenly changed drastically. He felt a huge surge of power coming from the sword, and his body involuntarily shrunk down. With a loud "thud", he knelt down on both knees, and the gravel on the ground instantly turned to dust.
But before he could get angry, the Xuan Qi in his body inexplicably stagnated, as if the Xuan Qi inside him was sealed by something. Although there was enough Xuan Qi, it couldn't be summoned at all. This discovery suddenly made Qin Jiangwei terrified!
"It's now!"
His eyes turned cold, and the young man didn't give Qin Jiangwei any time. He had consumed a huge amount of Xuan Qi just for this moment!
Hiss.
A cold gleam flashed by, and the dark giant sword entered his heart without any hindrance. Fresh blood spurted out, extremely dazzling under the scorching sun, flowing all over the ground.
Atop the precipice of victory and death, under the gaze of countless incredulous eyes, the black-clad youth stood alone, like that dark greatsword, unassuming yet radiant with an aura of sharpness.
Dead, is dead?
Did Qin Jiangwei, who had cultivated his body to the ninth level of perfection, lose?
Below, hundreds of Qin family juniors were stunned, the four masters of the Qin family, Qin Long, were stunned, Qin Yun Tian was stunned, and the other two masters and many elders were also stunned. Even the old ancestor of the Qin family was shocked at this moment.
The challenge of surpassing ranks in the Qin family is not unprecedented, but to leapfrog three ranks like this is a first in history. Moreover, the opponent has already reached the ninth rank of perfection!
To think that he had already set half a foot into the Air Sea Mirror, just as Old Ancestor Qin said, if Qin Jiangwei was given a few more days, he would likely be able to break through the Air Sea Mirror. But such a strong cultivator actually died at the hands of Liuxu?
And what's with that last sword move? Why is it so powerful? It can even kill someone who has achieved the ninth level of Body Refining!
Everyone was filled with doubts at this moment, constantly recalling that terrifying sword just now.
"Bastard! Qin Xuan, you little brat, return my son's life to me!"
Suddenly, a mournful howl burst out, and Qin Long's eyes turned blood red as he charged towards the black-clad youth who was walking slowly towards him. The terrifying aura caused people in front to make way, and those with weaker powers were even frightened to the point of collapsing on the ground.
Looking at that nearly destructive punch, Qin Xuan's expression was calm and collected, without any intention of dodging, nor could he dodge, as his opponent was a strong cultivator in front of the Condensing Mirror. However, he didn't show any tension, and there was even a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.
"Hum! Qin Long, have you gone mad?" As expected, with a cold hum, Qin Yun Tian also flew over and stood in front of the young man, his dark energy surging as he swung his right fist fiercely towards Qin Long's chest.
One person in front of the mirror, one person in the middle of the mirror, the two people suddenly burst out with power, causing the crowd to change color instantly, quickly retreating backwards, afraid of being affected by those two terrifying energy waves.
However, at this moment, another figure appeared among the three of them, with an unstoppable momentum, and slapped the two masters in the chest with one palm.
Bang! Bang!
It was just a touch, under the shocked gaze of a group of Qin family children, the two masters who were normally high and mighty and unmatched had flown out one after another with this palm.
"That's enough! Can't you all just stop embarrassing yourselves?! Qin family's old ancestor had a stern face, these descendants are getting more and more out of hand. Then he turned his head to look at the black-clothed young man who was clearly stunned, and his expression finally eased up. Luckily, luckily the Qin family has this kid."
Qin Long rose from the ground, and the old ancestor's palm just now had not caused any harm, only knocking them flying. However, his face was still gloomy and frightening, as if he could squeeze out water, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was suppressing his anger, trembling with rage, pointing at the black-clothed youth in a low voice, "Old Ancestor, kill him! Kill him! Avenge Jiang Wei!"
Upon seeing this, the old ancestor of the Qin family couldn't help but furrow his brow. Before he could speak, Qin Yun Tian hastily said, "Ancestor, Victory Cliff is a place where one either lives or dies, and Qin Xuan had no choice in the matter. Please spare Qin Xuan!"
"Qin Yuntian! Qin Xuan has been harming his own kind, are you still going to cover for him?"
"You..."
Qin Xuan has seen the old ancestor. Finally, Qin Xuan walked up from behind and slightly bowed to the elderly man in front of him. From the conversation just now, he could tell that this ordinary-looking old man was actually the old ancestor of the Qin family, who mysteriously created the entire Qin family with his own hands.
"Oh? Young fellow, what do you have to say for yourself?" Qin family's old ancestor narrowed his eyes, thoughtfully gazing at the youth.
He nodded, first indicating to his father to be at ease. Qin Xuan ignored the menacing gaze of Qin Long and slowly said, "Second Uncle, you say I'm harming my own kin, but back then in the Eastern Manor's grand hall, when I made this life-and-death pact with Qin Jiangwei, why didn't I see you stop us?"
"Betray your own kind? Don't be ridiculous! You probably didn't expect this turn of events, did you? I'm sure you thought it would be Qin Jiangwei who came down from the cliff!"
"Indeed, with Qin Jiangwei's Ninefold Refinement of the Body, he would have been invincible. Unfortunately, he still died." He shook his head, as if lamenting a regrettable matter, and then his expression suddenly froze, his eyes gleaming like torches, staring straight at Qin Long. "In other words, let me ask you, if it was Qin Jiangwei who came down from above today instead of me, Qin Xuan, would you have said that he was cruel to his own kin?"
Qin Xuan's voice was extremely loud, even filling the air with an aura of mystery. Some of the Qin family members around him also nodded in agreement. Ah, if it were Qin Jiangwei who had survived the precipice today, would you, Qin Long, blame him?
Will you?
It's obviously not going to happen, just as the young man said, Qin Long really didn't expect that the one who would survive in the end would be Qin Xuan. If Qin Xuan had died, he would have been dead and that would have been it, but the result was that the one who should have died hadn't died, while the one who could have survived did die. How could this huge contrast be tolerated? Moreover, the one who died was his only son!
After a few sentences, Qin Long was completely unable to refute, if it weren't for the old ancestor of the Qin family guarding beside him, he would have gone forward and torn Qin Xuan into eight pieces. If looks could kill, Qin Xuan would have died thousands or tens of thousands of times already.
Looking at the young man, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Qin's eyes, "That's right, things have come to this, and it's time to disperse."
Upon hearing this, Qin Yun Tian, who had been tense all along, finally let out a sigh of relief. If something really happened to Qin Xuan, he truly didn't know how he would explain it to his mother in the afterlife. However, Qin Long became anxious instead.
"Old Ancestor!"
"Enough, my mind is made up. Although Qin Jiangwei's death can only be explained by his inferior skills, give him a proper burial when you return." The old man ordered, ignoring Qin Long's pale face, then turned to the young man, "As for Qin Xuan, go back and recover from your injuries, come find me at the Dragon Pavilion in the rear mountain of the Qin family three days later."
Having said that, he no longer paid attention to the crowd, his figure flashed slightly, and he had already gone somewhere unknown, leaving only a residual shadow on the spot.
Glancing at Qin Long, Qin Xuan floated away under the protection of Qin Yun Tian and several elders from the Dong Fu. The remaining Qin family juniors, seeing that things seemed to have been resolved, also left one by one.
Apart from the Western Manor, for the other three manors, it was just a matter of Qin Jiangwei's death, nothing more. However, they were somewhat curious about the old man, and because they were far away, they didn't hear clearly what Qin Yuntian and Qin Long called the old man, so they started guessing who could make the two big manor owners obey so obediently.
"Hmph."
A mouthful of inverted blood, Qin Long finally stabilized his body with the support of several elders in the Western Palace, his eyes gloomily staring at the boy's departing back, the killing intent that had been suppressed for a long time finally burst out, and the terrifying killing intent instantly condensed into a gust of yin wind, making the remaining few people feel their hair stand on end.
"What should we do now, sir?"
"Endure!"
Almost squeezing the words out of his teeth, Qin Long's eyes couldn't hide the flames of anger. The old ancestor had spoken, and he had no choice but to listen. At least before that plan was implemented, he didn't want to break with the Qin family yet. But thinking of his son's death, he couldn't help but feel a wave of indignation in his heart.
He also wanted to bring Qin Xuan down now, but how could he deal with Qin Xuan at this time? What a joke! Haven't you seen that the old ancestor is obviously biased towards that kid?
If something happens to Qin Xuan, Old Ancestor will definitely blame him!
Qin Long must not only endure but also ensure Qin Xuan's safety!
"Is that it? Is the young master going to die in vain like this?" The elders of the Western Manor were all filled with indignation and sorrow, unsure what was real or fake.
"Whatever?" Qin Long's face gradually revealed a hint of madness, the corners of his mouth curled up in a sly smile, "Just wait and see, one day I'll make the entire Qin family accompany my son Jiang Wei to his grave! Haha..."
