Chapter 111: The Calamity Comes Upon Us (2/2)

“All of you, come back! The gifts need to be protected. These are priceless treasures that will be presented to Old Master Qin as his wedding gifts!” The leader of the escort team wailed loudly, but right at this moment, everyone’s priority was to save their own skins. Who would bother with those useless “precious gifts”?

Rumble rumble… This was the rumbling caused by the beast-riding soldiers who were almost upon them. Their formidable presence was like the roaring of a mountain flash-flood, mowing down and swallowing everything in its way.

“No!” The leader was so frightened that his insides grew cold and even he no longer cared about the gifts. He whipped his horse hard and urged it to catch up with those who had run away. Because his horse was superior to theirs, he was quickly able to take his place at the head of the fleeing team again.

Behind them, the sound of something whistling through the air assaulted their ears, and the wide sky darkened instantly. They raised their heads, and for as far as their eyes could see, a rain of razor-sharp arrows darkened the air, all headed straight for them.

“No-”

The frantic mess of fleeing men cried out in despair. Amidst their shouting, the sharp arrows whistled through the air and pierced their bodies. One by one, bodies dropped from their horses as corpses.

Rumble, rumble…

The beast-riding soldiers closed in like a wild hurricane, bringing clouds of dust with them. They trod on the ground beneath their feet, and they trampled on the corpses beneath their feet as they rumbled forward.

Their destination?

Luosang City.

……

In Tie Shou’s Workshop within Luosang City, Qin Yu’s room.

Qin Yu sat with his eyes closed, the Blood Devouring Demonic Blade was suspended in the air before him. Its blood-soaked aura ebbed and flowed, painting his fresh and pleasant face in a wash of red light, as if it were covered in blood.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and his keen, cold gaze landed on the naked blade of the Blood Devouring Demonic Blade. It vibrated intensely in its place for a short time before gradually calming down. Its blood-soaked aura dimmed as well, until all the crimson light it had been emitting before completely disappeared. All that was left was that huge red saber floating in mid-air.

“Go back,” Qin Yu gritted out this chilly command.

The Blood Devouring Demonic Blade did not obey those orders immediately. Instead, it froze where it floated and did not move, as though it was extremely reluctant to leave. Qin Yu’s pupils dilated, and his icy glare was like a hail of icicles. With that, the Blood Devouring Demonic Blade dared not dally any longer. It transformed into a flash of light and disappeared with a hum into the dimensional ring on Qin Yu’s finger.

After a whole night’s study of the Blood Devouring Demonic Blade, Qin Yu had gained a certain amount of understanding about it. Unfortunately, it was hardly enough, and he could not say for certain that no unexpected situations might arise later on. But now, there was not enough time for him to investigate further; the strung arrow must be shot, and he could only accept this as a risk in his fight.

Don don don. A series of gentle knocks rang from outside the door.

“Who is it?” Qin Yu’s gaze fixed itself at the door.

“Qin Yu, it’s dawn. Everything has been prepared. We can get started now.” Outside, Tie Shou’s voice rang out.

“It’s dawn?” Killing intent surged up in Qin Yu’s cold gaze as an enchanting flame flickered in the depths of his pupils, “Qin Family, I’ve returned. Die!”

In a spacious, open-air room within the Qin Family Estate, Qin Yuandao was being dressed in crimson wedding robes. A few people were fitting him into it when suddenly, he sucked in a cold breath, his body trembling slightly.

“Esteemed Elder, what happened? If the clothes aren’t comfortable, do you want to try on a different set?” One of the older female servants who was fitting him hastily asked.

“Killing intent.” Qin Yuandao ignored the servant, his face suddenly darkening. “What powerful killing intent.” An ominous sense of foreboding suddenly appeared in his heart.

He sensed the killing intent, but he couldn’t anticipate, no, nobody could anticipate that today, on his wedding day,his Qin Family and Luosang City would face a disaster bathed in blood. Three forces were about to converge on the city. The prelude to the massacre quietly passed, a herald for the destruction soon to come. This disaster would sweep across the Qin Family, Luosang City, and even all of Qiongxi Country.
