Chapter 124: The Fall of Qin Zhan (1/2)

Qin Wu looked towards Qin Zhan’s broad back. He had already guessed the truth of the matter. At this moment, the rims of his eyes turned moist, and tears of emotion slowly dripped from the corners of his eyes, “Fifth Elder, it was you who saved her again, right?”

“Ha…” Qin Zhan bitterly laughed in shame, “At the time, when I received the news that Qin Biao discovered the place where you guys were hiding at, I rushed over immediately. Regrettably, I was still late, and you were carried away by Qin Biao. Your wife was left burning on a rock under the sun, and she was dying. Fortunately, she still had one breath left, so I was able to save her. Now, I will take you to reunite with her. Her health is too poor; if you don’t take care of her, she will soon meet her end.”

“Fifth Elder, I…” Qin Wu’s voice was choked with emotion, and he was almost unable to speak, “I, I don’t understand. Everyone in the Qin Family wishes for my death, yet why do you and the head…”

Qin Zhan smiled, “Qin Wu, not everyone is the same as Qin Chong and Qin Biao. There are many others, including me, who detest people like them. However, these people do not dare to speak out, and they can only harbor their anger secretly. Even the head and I could only help you guys secretly. Ah, I am ashamed that we can only do this much. The rest depends on you. I hope that you can live well.”

Just as Qin Wu finished saying these words, an urgent sound of hooves suddenly came from behind.

“Yah, giddyup…”

On the mountain road behind them, two figures riding on swift horses flew towards Qin Zhan and Qin Wu, swirling up a cloud of dust that filled the sky. From their clothes, it could be seen that the riders were a man and a woman.

The one riding in front was a young woman dressed in red. The woman grasped a long whip in her hand and lashed hard as she urged the horse to run as fast as possible. She was rushing behind Qin Zhan with a speed almost as fast as lightning.

“Don’t block this lady’s road, get lost!” In the blink of an eye, the woman was about to hit Qin Zhan’s body. She shouted furiously, and with a curl of her whip, she ruthlessly lashed hard toward Qin Zhan.

The crack of a whip rang out crisply. The whip ferociously lashed onto Qin Wu, who was being carried on Qin Zhan’s back. Qin Wu cried out with a painful scream.

Qin Zhan rapidly dodged, and he barely avoided the fierce horse that recklessly dashed over. However, he was also lashed by the woman’s whip, and he was angered to the point that he bellowed at the back of the two riders, “Both of you, watch where you’re going! Are you seeking death?”

It would have been better if he did not scold them. As soon as he finished scolding, the two horses neighed as their riders forcibly reigned in their bridles. The fierce horses were abruptly pulled back in the midst of their swift galloping, and they lifted their front hooves up high above the ground, almost in a perfectly straight line.

The man and woman were very strong, and although the hot-tempered horses reared up upright, they were still effortlessly controlled like before, and the horses’ heads were turned around forcibly.

The woman dressed in red raised the whip in her hand as she shouted out severely in her tender voice, “Who did you just scold? Who did you say was looking for death?”

Qin Zhan was in the middle of a fit of anger, and he roared back at once with a furious voice, “I was talking about you guys.”

In any case, he was also someone who was older than them. This pair of man and woman looked like they were only in their twenties. Especially that woman, who seemed to be in her early twenties. Hence, he could be considered their elder.

A stately elder was unexpectedly bullied by this insignificant little girl. Anyone would throw a fit, not to mention Qin Zhan with his frank temper. He couldn’t even bear to see others who were innocent be bullied, to say nothing of the fact that he is the one being bullied right now.

“Are you guys blind? Didn’t you see this elder carrying a wounded person on his back? If you just pushed through while barging and shoving around instead of reducing your speed or walking slowly, then forget it. However, you actually went so far as to use your whip to lash us ruthlessly? Preposterous! Didn’t your elders teach you how to conduct yourselves?” Qin Zhan scolded them again in a fit of rage.

“Junior sister, let me help you give that old codger a lesson.” The man urged his horse forward as he unsheathed a long sword from the horse’s back.

“No need, this lady must personally whip him to death.” The woman bit down on her pearly teeth, and her eyes glinted ominously. Abruptly slamming down her foot, she loudly shouted, “Yah!”

The spirited horse neighed as it charged towards Qin Zhan. Within the smoke and dust, the long whip turned into a viper and brought with it the swift and fierce sound of wind, as it madly lashed out to attack Qin Zhan.

“What a vicious woman.” Qin Zhan cursed in rage as he hastily leaped to the side. As he was carrying Qin Wu on his back, he was unable to strike back, and he was left with no other choice but to evade.

“Fifth Elder, hurry, put me down.” Qin Wu called out urgently.

“Okay.” Qin Zhan jumped to the side, and swiftly put Qin Wu by the side of the road under a big tree, and exhorted him, “Lie down here and don’t move. Let this elder teach that little girl how one should conduct oneself.”

“Hmph, do you think you are fit to lecture this lady? Die!” The woman was very indignant, and she lashed out with her whip to attack again.

This time, Qin Zhan did not retreat but advanced instead. Charging forward, his hand directly went to grab that whip.

“By using your bare hand to grab this lady’s whip, you stepped onto the road to death yourself.” The woman dressed in red exposed a dark, ruthless sneer.

Right before he was about to come into contact with the whip, Qin Zhan also finally realized that something was wrong. He hastily withdrew his hand with a rapid speed and retreated backward.

He only noticed it just now, but the whip was not a horsewhip. Rather, it was a weapon that was very difficult to deal with. The top of the whip whooshed past him, and he suddenly saw that densely packed barbs exuded from the edges. Fortunately, he had withdrawn in time, or his hands would have been mangled.

In addition, what made him even more shocked was that the woman was in the initial stage of the Transformation Realm.

This was the first time he had seen such a young expert in the Transformation Realm, and it really amazed him quite a bit. Also, it was not just her, but the young man in the back was also in the Transformation Realm.
