Chapter 89: What I hate most is others being even more arrogant than me (1/2)

.

Qing Yun tried to frantically retreat, but after Qin Zhao activated ‘Heaven Freezing Palm’, her speed suddenly became very slow. Under the skill’s effects, it seemed as if the whole world was frozen.

“No——!” Qing Yun was filled with dread as she felt the threat of death approach. She wasn’t afraid of death, but right now she didn’t want to die. She had just found Qin Yu again, so how could she die just like that?

However, Qin Zhao’s icy palm had already arrived right in front of her. She felt a cold stab of pain at her heart.

“Scram!” A shout suddenly rang in the air as the sound of thunder roared in the sky. The space around her that was freezing by the second broke down and her body which she had previously thought was frozen stiff abruptly relaxed. Her speed was fast as she swiftly moved herself away from the space.

Qin Zhao was blasted away by a palm strike and was forced to retreat a few meters before he was able to stabilize himself, standing on some of the leaves on the lake’s surface.

Across from him, a figure also landed firmly on the lake’s surface. It was Qin Yu.

Qin Yu and Qin Zhao. The two who should both be geniuses from the same family, were now facing each other as foes.

Their eyes were both cold with a tinge of red as their bodies emitted a murderous aura.

A cyan colored figure landed behind Qin Yu.

“Qin Yu, have you been alright?” Qing Yun spoke from beside him, her voice slightly choked with emotion.

Qin Yu didn’t turn his head and just nodded, “I’ve been fine.”

Qing Yun also knew that right now wasn’t the time to catch up and hastily warned him, “I don’t know what kind of cultivation he’s been doing, but that icy palm strike is very strong.”

“The Qin Family has a cultivation manual called Ice Soul Miracle. I didn’t think he would actually be able to cultivate it. It seems that he somehow got the attention of Qin Yuandao, that old codger.” Qin Yu explained calmly.

“So it’s like that.” Qing Yun suddenly realised and immediately got a bit worried: “You have to be careful.”

“I can handle him. You should move to the side.” Qin Yu’s tone was a bit commanding.

“Alright.” Qing Yuna also wasn’t wordy and immediately retreated back to the lake’s shore to avoid hindering Qin Yu from using all of his power. She knew about Qin Yu’s fighting strength. Although he currently only seemed to be at the middle stage of Immersion Realm, his fighting strength definitely wouldn’t lose to any peak level Immersion Realm cultivator.

“Splash, splash, splash……”

Qing Yun had just retreated when some of the guys who wanted to play ‘Hero saving the Princess’ dashed past her. Some of them dropped in the water and couldn’t participate in the battle, forced to swim back to shore.

There were four remaining. Adding on Qin Zhao, it was 5 people against Qin Yu.

“A group of trash. So many people against one person, yet you still didn’t manage to trap him. How laughable.” Qin Zhao glanced at the four, his voice disdainful. It was all thanks to that group of trash’s ‘good work’. If they hadn’t made a mistake and trapped Qin Yu, Qing Yun would’ve already died by his hand.

He knew clearly that such an opportunity to kill Qing Yun would only appear once and wouldn’t happen again the next time he faced off against Qing Yun. He only knew a bit about Ice Soul Miracle. Now that Qing Yun, who had the same level cultivation as him knew to guard against it, it would be impossible for such a situation to happen again unless she was a fool. Unfortunately, Qing Yun wasn’t a fool. So, he hated that group of trash.

“What did you say, you dare to call us trash? Who do you think you are, you’re courting death!” One of them beside him turned and shouted at him furiously.

“Die!” Qin Zhao clenched his teeth and shouted, his face ruthless as he sent a palm strike in the man’s direction.

“Bastard!” The other snarled, responding with a palm of his own.

A ‘bang!’ sounded as the two’s palms met. The other man’s hand was being corroded by the cold air, causing him to jump back instantly.

“Freezing Heavens, die!” Qin Zhao released yet another palm, freezing the air and causing the other’s speed to slow. His palm swiftly arrived to strike at the other’s chest.

A crisp ‘ka-cha’ sounded as his sternum cracked, a faint, white, icy frost creeping into his heart. He took his last breath, falling into the water. He soon floated back up again, reappearing as a corpse.

“He’s dead!” It wasn’t just the people standing on the lake whose faces changed- it was everyone. Qin Zhao actually dared to kill somebody here, under everyone’s eyes. It was overbearing, arrogant, and ruthless.

Qin Yu was also somewhat surprised. In his memories, Qin Zhao previously didn’t seem so overbearing and arrogant, but rather, actually somewhat cowardly. It was probably after getting the Qin Family’s old Grand Elder, that he had changed. His strength had risen, and so did his ego.

“You killed him?” The one who spoke this time was Zhu Yuanhong, the one who the others secretly regarded as the leader. After all, he had both the strength and family background.

Qin Zhao, an outsider, dared to act so unbridled right in front of him and even just now when Qin Zhao scolded them as trash, he seemed to be included in that ‘group of trash’.

“A piece of trash was killed, so what? What fuss is there to make?” Qin Zhao’s reply was cold.

“He’s simply too vicious. Young Master Zhu, let’s team up against him.” Somebody spoke furiously.
