Chapter 100: If You Want My Death, You Too Must Die Before This Laozi (2/2)

“Laozi will first cleave off your head, separating it from your dead body. This way you will go to hell as a headless ghost.” Qin Lai roared as he raised his sword. He was about to cleave down upon Qin Yu’s skull.

“Stay your hand!” A cute voice suddenly exploded forth. Within the shout, an azure sword light rended the air, causing an assault of screaming rumbles.

Qin Lai’s eyebrows shot up. There was actually someone who dared to ambush him. There was someone who wasn’t scared of retaliation from the Qin Family?

“How brazen.” Qin Lai roared. His sharp sword, which had been about to cleave down on Qin Yu, spun around. His body turned as he slaughtered toward the azure sword light that attacked him.

“Clang.”

And ear piercing sound of sword meeting sword rang forth. Sparks bloomed with radiance within the noise.

The two people split apart after the exchange. Qin Lai glared with fury at the person who attacked him. He never expected it to be a young lady of dark clothing. This cool and elegant woman had distinctive features.

This young lady was none other than Qing Yun.

Qing Yun hadn’t walked far. She had been constantly hiding not too far in the distance, prepared to retrieve Qin Yu’s corpse. She never expected Qin Lai to be this vicious to actually want to destroy Qin Yu’s corpse. It was because of this that she disregarded everything and came slaughtering upon him.

“The Azure Edge Sword. You are of Luobei City’s Qing Family.” Qin Lai had never encountered Qing Yun before, so he didn’t recognize her. However, the Azure Edge Sword had a reputation outside, and Qin Lai had experienced in this sword for himself before. This was a sword passed down from generation to generation within the Qing Family. It was because of this that he was able to determine that Qing Yun was of the Qing Family.

“Humph. So your Qin Family wants to trail in the footsteps of the Su Family as well?” Qin Lai asked in fury.

Qing Yun’s face grew cold. She replied in fury. “He is already dead, and you still won’t let him go?”

“That is my business. It is none of your god damn business. A trifling cultivator of the immersion realm actually dares to appear before me. Do you believe that my Qin Family wouldn’t dare make a move against you because you are of the Qing Family? Listen. Today Laozi will first exterminate you. Then he will exterminate your Qing Family on another day. Just cast me your life!” Qin Lai roared as he pounced upon her in crazed slaughter. He swung out with his sword, releasing a terrifying sword-light that’s instantly enveloped Qing Yun.

“Nine forms of the Azure Edge Sword! Die!” Qing Yun could only rely on the Azure Edge Sword and its nine forms to fight against Qin Lai. Though Qin Lai possessed injuries, he was still a master of the transformation realm. She, a cultivator of the immersion realm, normally wasn’t a match for him.

Were not for the fact that Qin Lai was injured. The single exchange of blows would have sent her, a jade beauty, to death.

The two people fought intensely, during which none noticed something particular about Qin Yu who lay embedded in the earth. His body was giving off a black radiating glow.

“Die die die!” Qin Lai attacked in a crazy storm. His sword-light blotched the sky and covered the earth. His might was a torrent that overflowed the heavens as he suppressed Qing Yun, causing her to retreat little by little.

“Hehe…. It’s time to end this. Die for me!” Amidst the mad roar, Qin Lai unleashed his most powerful attack. The eye piercing sword-light penetrated through the void, stabbing upon Qing Yun’s pupils and covering her line of sight. This made her eyes see an illusion of dizziness.

“No —!” Qing Yun screamed as she struggled, but it was all futile. Qin Lai sword already locked deathly upon her. It was impossible to escape.

“Am I going to die like this?” In her final moments, she gave up all attempts of resisting. Her beautiful eyes closed as she waited for the instant when death would arrive.

“Perhaps it is also fate for me to die together with you.” The young lady’s delicate and cute lips actually revealed a hint of a smile. It was a smile that faced death.

But it was the most bizarre thing. Before death could claim her, she felt Qin Lai’s sword press against her throat, yet it made no motion in its next step.

Could it be that this scoundrel felt that she looked beautiful and suddenly had protective feelings for the fairer sex engender in his heart?

She only realized that this was not the case when she opened her eyes. Instead, her eyes saw a very bizarre scene. A bloody tip of the blade was protruding out from the front of Qin Lai’s stomach. The dark red blood, thin as water, came bubbling out from within the slit created from the blade.

How was this possible?

The bloody blade. She was far too familiar with this bloody blade. It was none other than the blade that Qin Yu often used.

Was it Qin Yu? How was this possible…? She didn’t dare believe it.

Qin Lai and was the same, not daring to believe it as well. He gazed in shock at the bloody blade that penetrated his stomach. His face contorted, and he really wanted to know the identity of the person who stabbed him from behind. The person had grasped the time for an ambush at the perfect moment, and the person had done it such that not even gods nor demons realized it. Was it a ghost?

He slowly turned his head, and he saw that delicate face he was all too familiar with. In this moment, his pupils instantly dilated, and the muscles of his face spasmed in waves after waves.

Qin Yu. It was actually Qin Yu. He didn’t dare believe it, but these were the facts.

“Y-You… You’re supposed to be dead… Right?” Qin Lai squeezed out these words from his throat with difficulty.

Qin Yu’s lips split into a grin. His mouth was filled with scarlet red blood, but he didn’t care. He still smiled with delight all the same. “It isn’t as easy as you think to kill me. If you want my death, you too must die before this Laozi. Hehehe….”
