Chapter 18: Sinking into a Hopeless Situation

As Qin Yu listened to Wang Murong, he felt both moved and comforted. He no longer needed to worry. Wang Murong’s life experiences were quite extraordinary. Although Qin Yu still didn’t know her true identity, he could guess that her background had to be monstrous. Even the most honored man in Luosang City, Tie Shou was extremely deferential towards her. The Qin Family would be courting death if dared to touch her.

Qin Yu’s heart relaxed. “Many thanks, Miss Murong. Then let’s just see what exactly this crowd wants to do.” He stared icily at the aggressively approaching mob.

The mob was finally near. Under the illumination of the densely packed torches, the originally desolate area became brightly lit, becoming very lively.

“Qin Yu, you bastard, I’ve come to take your life!”

Qin Zhao’s blood immediately boiled when he saw Qin Yu and without speaking any further, he attacked. His pre-prepared sword streaked through the night sky, aiming to kill Qin Yu in one stroke. Unfortunately, he was stopped by Qin Biao’s loud shout.

“Zhao’er, come back!”

Qin Zhao stared at Qin Yu resentfully. “Father, I must kill him tonight!”

Qin Biao ground his teeth fiercely before angrily retorting, “What kill?! Is it even possible for you to kill him?! Come back!”

Right now, Qin Biao truly wished he could give this brainless son of his a good slap. Anyone with eyes could see Qin Yu’s strength earlier and Qin Zhao wasn’t his match. Wouldn’t rushing up to kill him just be throwing away your life or inviting humiliation upon yourself? Was the disgrace he had received today not enough?

“I…” Qin Zhao stood there for a moment, unable to respond before icily glaring at Qin Yu again. In his heart, a thread of fear actually grew.

“You’re still not coming back?!” Qin Biao gave another yell. “Your Second Grandfather is here to make reprisals, so there’s no need for your impudence!”

“Yes, Father.” Qin Zhao finally returned to the crowd in embarrassment.

Within the crowd, Lu Wushuang watched Qin Zhao’s behavior and felt very disappointed. She had thought that this man would disobey his father’s order and kill Qin Yu even at the risk of his own life, but in the end, he still retreated.

What a coward.

“Qin Yu, you’re still not going to get over here and kowtow after seeing the Third Elder?!” The crowd halted their footsteps. In the Qin Family’s ranks, a thin, forty-year-old man rushed out from the crowd. He shouted loudly as he advanced towards Qin Yu. Don’t look at how thin his body was because his voice was actually very loud, resounding clearly in everybody’s ears.

“Kowtow?” Qin Yu twitched his nose disdainfully. “This young master is already no longer apart of the Qin Family. What Third Elder? This young master doesn’t recognize him.”

“You…!” The thin man was furious, pointing his finger at Qin Yu as he cursed, “You really are a disgrace! Not even recognizing your family’s own seniors! Fine, my Qin Family also refuses to have a rebellious brute like you! Today, we will dispose of you from the family!”

“Dispose of me from the family?” Qin Yu was startled. “What does that mean?”

“Qin Yu, you still don’t know your crime?” Qin Chong walked forward, his voice imposing. A cold qi surged from his body, causing his robes to dance in the wind.

This was the power of a Transformation Realm cultivator. The crowd’s faces immediately changed. They were terrified as some of the weaker ones immediately drew back, afraid they would actually be wounded by the cold qi that Qin Chong released.

Qin Yu was directly besieged by the cold qi. His expression changed slightly as his clothes and long hair were lifted by the wind. However, his young body still stood there motionlessly. He gazed sharply at Qin Chong as he started to speak, his voice filled with indifference. “What? The Qin Family’s Third Elder wants to use strength against someone who is weaker? The old is taking advantage of the young? Wow, the Qin Family really is powerful!”

“Shut up! You should be slapped for daring to say such words to the Third Elder!” The thin man released another explosive shout. He charged over in a flash, his hand moving to quickly and violently slap Qin Yu’s face.

“Don’t even think about it!” Qin Yu angrily shouted, using Cloudtrack Phantom to rush over and face the attack. He struck forward with his palm, producing a rumbling sound like muffled thunder. It was the first form of Rushing Thunder Palm—Power Like Rushing Thunder.

The thin man was startled and hurriedly tried to change his move, turning his slap into a push as it directly knocked against Qin Yu’s palm.

*Rumble*

A sudden clap of thunder rang out. The noise scared the thin man. On top of that, he had suddenly been thrust into a battle. Qin Yu’s Cloudtrack Phantom’s speed was too fast and too strange. After the palm strike, the thin man released a painful groan as his body was sent flying backward. He created a pit in the ground as he fell, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Qin Yu moved his hand and stood there under the night sky indifferently, his gaze was like ice.

The crowd’s faces twitched as they watched. Just now, they had thought that under Qin Chong, the Transformation Realm cultivator’s deterrence, Qin Yu wouldn’t dare to show even the least bit of attitude and could only get beaten. Who would’ve thought that not only did he show attitude, he even took the initiative to attack, sending a member of the Qin Family flying and coughing blood?

Qin Chong’s face was cold. Qin Yu had actually dared to act right in front of him. Although the one getting physically beaten was somebody else, it was actually his own face that was getting slapped!

“You wretch! Are you tired of living?!” Qin Chong suddenly clenched his fists. As he spoke, his goatee danced madly.

“Haha! The Qin Family’s people are all so strong ah! A man in his forties fighting a youth that’s still only in his teens and an elder personally taking action! Wow, what a joke!”
