Chapter 124: The Fall of Qin Zhan (2/2)
Fortunately, he was an experienced person who had been in Transformation Realm for many years, and he had ample experience in actual combat. Therefore, he had been able to react swiftly and narrowly dodge that whip. However, looking at his appearance, he appeared to be in a difficult situation.
“Hmph, old codger, now you know this lady is not to be trifled with.” The woman in red proudly looked at the sorry figure of Qin Zhan as she let out an evil laugh.
The grand head of the Qin family was sneered at by a little girl. Qin Zhan was so angry that his face reddened. He roared out the Qin family’s ultimate skill, the first form of the Rushing Thunder Palm -- Power Like Rushing Thunder.
A loud bang rang out in the air. With his decades of skill, when he sent out this palm attack, he was able to make this kind of noise. In the Qin family, he was considered someone who had perfected the use of the Rushing Thunder Palm. Compared to Qin Yu’s Rushing Thunder Palm, however, the distance was simply too great. Only the palm strike used by Qin Yu could be called Rushing Thunder, as it was something that created true thunderclaps when struck.
As for this palm of Qin Zhan’s, its sound can’t be compared with the true Pushing Thunder Palm. However, with the power of the Transformation Realm behind his attack, its vigor was not weak. It was not something that the young woman in the initial stage of the Transformation Realm could withstand.
The red woman’s complexion changed in an instant. At the same time she lashed out with her whip, she also shouted out simultaneously, “Senior brother, help me.”
The young man in the back had long been prepared to show his hand, and he had only been waiting for the command. As soon as he heard her shout, he immediately leaped into the air. The slash of his long sword drew dazzling rays of light in the air as he violently attacked Qin Zhan.
In the next moment, Qin Zhan fought a battle of one against two, and he fought hand-to-hand with this young pair.
Over the course of the fight, Qin Zhan became more and more apprehensive as he battled, and more and more curious about the origin of these two people. Both of them had very high martial skill, and could only be said to be weaker due to their lack of experience in actual combat.
However, Qin Zhan was weaker as he was not currently wielding any weapons. When he came out, he was in a hurry and forgot his weapons. His martial skill was also quite a bit inferior to the two, but he surpassed them by relying on his ample experience in dealing with enemies, as well as his cultivation realm that was also higher than the two by a rank.
Therefore, both sides battled for quite a while, and actually fought to a tie.
“Junior sister, this is not the way to continue. Our time is limited, and we cannot continue delaying here.” In a gap between the fight, the man used a code to transmit sound to the woman in red.
The red-clothed woman communicated back to him, both furious and in a hurry, “Then what should we do? I didn’t expect this old codger to have some skill, so troublesome.”
“Junior sister, have you seen that person in the back?” The man sent out a sinister gaze towards Qin Wu lying down in the rear.
The corners of her mouth showed a hint of evil laughter as the woman in red replied, “Yes, I understand. Kill!”
The two coordinated with each other and unleashed their strongest moves. The young man’s long sword transformed into densely packed flashes that fanned out in the shape of a blossom, which crazily leaped out with a desire to devour Qin Zhan.
Qin Zhan did not dare dismiss it, and he retaliated with heavy fists that created fierce winds whenever he struck. He continuously dispersed the dense flashes of sword light that came over. However, at this moment, a red shadow flew over from the side. A long whip whistled by, and it ferociously lashed towards Qin Wu who was lying at the back.
“Despicable!” Qin Zhan bellowed and abandoned the young man. He turned around and sent out a fist toward the red-clothed woman.
The woman in red had anticipated that Qin Zhan would turn around to save that man, and she had prepared her response long ago. As light as a feather, she moved slightly to the side. With a sweep of her hand, the whip that had been lashed away rapidly flew back around. A sharp pointed spike popped out of its tip, and it thrust towards Qin Zhan’s head with a strange curve.
At the same time, the young man flashed past Qin Zhan’s side and directly attacked Qin Wu.
“Disgraceful thing, shameless.” Qin Zhan bellowed unceasingly. His abundant experience in dealing with enemies allowed him to instinctively move his head to the side by a hair. The red-clothed woman’s whip slashed past his scalp, and a few hairs were sliced off by the sharp tip of the spike. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead as he narrowly escaped.
He didn't have time to completely understand the danger he was in just now. His large hand turned into sharp claws that furiously slashed at the young man. He was already too late to stop the young man's attack, and could only make this kind of move of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao, so as to force the young man to give up on Qin Wu and turn around to save himself. If the young man insisted on killing Qin Wu and didn't turn back around, Qin Wu definitely wouldn't survive. However, the young man would also have his entire back hacked to bits.
The young man's real objective had never been Qin Wu. Qin Zhan's course of action was played exactly to his intentions. Qin Zhan only saw his long sword swiftly reverse, before it drew a semi-circle in the air and swept towards Qin Zhan's claws. At the same time, he sent out a lightning-fast attack with his left hand towards an opening in front of Qin Zhan. A red mist blew furiously towards Qin Zhan.
”Old codger, you can die now!” Behind him, the red-dressed woman shrieked with an evil laughter. Her long whip madly disrupted the space between them, and it venomously curled around Qin Zhan's neck from behind him.
”Fifth Elder, be careful…!” Behind them, Qin Wu did all he could to send out a frantic shout.
”Ah, my eyes!” Qin Zhan's eyes were critically injured by the red mist. Both of his hands flew up to cover his eyes as he let out a terrifying wail.
”Die!” The red woman's whip wrapped around Qin Zhan's neck, and she pulled it malevolently.
Qin Zhan's head flew off of his neck, and blood shot up into the air.
”N-no, Fifth Elder!” Qin Wu fell into despair as he cried sorrowfully, rolling down from the tree’s roots and onto the road. He threw himself over and wailed in pain.
“Who are you? Why must you kill Fifth Elder, why, why?”
Qin Wu crawled up from the ground and lifted his head. A grieved and indignant howl came out of his mouth. He glared with his eyes wide open, as visible red veins weaved back and forth. His eyes transmitted overflowing rays of hatred.
