"Spare... my life..."
Deep despair surged from the depths of his heart. Qin Sha had never felt such fear before. As the Eldest Son of the Qin Family, he had ruled over Luoma Market since he learned to walk. Aside from his father, Qin Changlin, he was practically above everyone else, holding the power of life and death over all.
But today, his life was in someone else's hands. With just a slight squeeze, he could be sent to the afterlife.
Memories flooded back; in his twenty-plus years of life, he had taken countless lives, and the number of women whose purity he had stolen was beyond measure. Was heaven finally punishing him? Did the legendary karma truly exist...
"Spare me..."
Qin Sha managed to squeeze out those words with great difficulty. His brain buzzed from suffocation, and his only thought was a desperate hope that the young man controlling his fate would show him mercy.
At this moment, even thoughts of revenge had vanished; as long as he could save his life, he would kneel before Ye Tian and call him "Grandpa" three times without hesitation.
"But you must die."
These six words slowly escaped Ye Tian's lips, calm and quiet, like idle chatter.
Yet to Qin Sha's ears, it was like a bolt from the blue, causing a deafening crash in his mind as despair washed over him.
But he did not want to die. A strong will to survive ignited the last bit of strength within him. Knowing it was futile yet unable to resist, he desperately pleaded with Ye Tian for one last chance at explanation. "Your friends are all safe; it's our Qin Family that has suffered losses. Please spare me! I will negotiate with my father; not only will we not trouble you, but I will also offer generous rewards. My brother has already died tragically; just let me go..."
Qin Sha spoke quickly, almost more smoothly than usual, completely unlike someone whose throat was being gripped by another.
Ye Tian suddenly smiled, and after the smile, his gaze became incredibly resolute as he said slowly, "The Dragon's Reverse Scale, touch it and you will die. You will not survive this."
"Wait... let me... understand my death..." Qin Sha knew he was ultimately doomed, but he did not know what Ye Tian's reverse scale was or how he had touched it.
"You can't control your mouth, so I have to take action," Ye Tian said lightly, increasing the pressure in his hand.
Qin Sha suddenly realized that whether it was Cold Moon or Yun'er, he had used foul language to slander them. He never expected that in pursuit of a moment's satisfaction, he would lose his own life. His father, Qin Changlin, had long warned him that this foul mouth would eventually bring trouble, but why had he never stopped himself?
Thinking of this, Qin Sha couldn't help but let out two streams of regretful tears; it was too late to repent. He could only hope to be reborn as a strong person in the next life rather than a sheltered young master.
"Young Master!"
The shadow had stabilized its form again at some point and was now trembling all over its right arm, urgently calling out to this place.
Qin Sha exerted all his strength to turn his head and gave the shadow a faint smile, as if to say let's go; no more need to lose my life for nothing.
As one approaches death, their words become sincere. Qin Sha's gaze was truly earnest; he finally realized something in his last moments.
Ye Tian frowned slightly, but it quickly disappeared. His reverse scale had been touched; there would be no mercy!
Crack!
The sound of bones being crushed echoed as blood froth spilled from the corner of Qin Sha's mouth. His head tilted, and his entire body slumped down.
In the distance, the shadow's voice abruptly stopped, and a layer of grayish-white color quickly covered its face. Of course, it was not that he felt sorry for someone like Qin Sha dying; rather, he was worried about the Eldest Son's demise. If the family head pursued this matter, he would find it hard to escape blame.
However, he was clearly overthinking, as Ye Tian would not give him the chance to be held accountable by Qin Changlin.
Of course, Shadow also understood that he had to kill Ye Tian to mitigate some of the penalties incurred from the unfavorable situation regarding Eldest Son. The reason Qin Changlin had not shown up was a testament to his trust in both him and Black Butcher.
Neither of them wasted words; their figures flashed and they were already engaged in battle.
Ye Tian's body was enveloped in a faint golden light, moving with incredible speed, leaving behind a light golden shadow.
Following Shadow was an ethereal figure, a product of his signature skill that perfectly combined the Skyward Martial Arts' Floating Shadow Step with the attacking technique Wind Piercing Finger, which he took great pride in.
Ye Tian continued to use the Bagua Thunder Palm he had frequently employed before, while Shadow secretly increased his strength this time, abandoning the short dagger hidden in his sleeve and bringing out his signature finger technique.
The two exchanged blows and quickly retreated after the first contact.
The Bagua Thunder Palm and Wind Piercing Finger collided with a loud bang, each retreating several feet away amidst a muffled sound.
Ye Tian dragged one foot on the ground, leaving a shallow mark, his expression unchanged, clearly not using his full strength. In contrast, Shadow spun rapidly in mid-air before finally stabilizing himself, exuding an air of grace while his fingers trembled incessantly.
His right arm, previously injured by Ye Tian's strike, had not yet recovered, and now his left finger was wounded again. Shadow appeared calm on the surface but felt both alarmed and angry inside.
In just two brief encounters at close quarters, their strengths were already evident. Moreover, this kid not only hadn't exerted himself fully but seemed to be even more formidable than before when he was trapped by the Blazing Sun Technique...
"Could it be that while he was under the Blazing Sun Technique..."
A thought quietly sprouted in his mind, but Shadow dared not pursue it further.
However, just because he didn't think about it doesn't mean it wouldn't happen. Moreover, his thoughts were not wrong; Ye Tian indeed made a breakthrough during the time he was trapped in the Blazing Sun Technique!
To be precise, it was two breakthroughs!
Ye Tian had been stuck at the Four-Stage Martial Artist level for a long time. The moment he consumed the Spiritual Pill he seized from Li Qingwu, he vaguely felt that a breakthrough was imminent. Little did he expect that it would occur today, precisely at the moment when Qin Sha unleashed the Blazing Sun Technique.
Although that Spiritual Pill was merely a spiritual power breakthrough type, it had a significant enhancing effect on Martial Sovereign and Martial Origin Power, especially considering how abundant the spiritual energy of this particular Spiritual Pill was.
Thus, that Spiritual Pill directly elevated Ye Tian's Martial Sovereign strength from the mid-stage of Four-Stage Martial Artist to the edge of the late stage. Coupled with another unexpected event today, he finally broke through from the late stage edge to become a Five-Stage Martial Artist.
As for that other unexpected event, it was the further activation of Crimson Dragon's Golden Blood Power!
Prior to this, Crimson Dragon Golden Blood had already shown unusual signs, from the hacker den at Huanggang Ridge to today's further developments. Everything seemed to be a natural coincidence.
The reason it is called a coincidence is not just because Ye Tian successfully achieved dual breakthroughs at a critical moment, but because his breakthrough coincidentally occurred just as the Blazing Sun Technique was attacking him.
The Blazing Sun Technique is a peculiar martial art, somewhat similar to Vortex Profound Skill but inherently possesses offensive capabilities. The enhancement of Crimson Dragon Golden Blood is different from a Martial Sovereign breakthrough; before breaking through, the body experiences certain anomalies, such as dizziness...
Originally, with Qin Sha's strength, the Blazing Sun Technique he wielded should not have been able to absorb Ye Tian. However, at that moment, an anomaly occurred within Ye Tian's Crimson Dragon bloodline, causing him to feel dizzy. This led to Qin Sha "solving" Ye Tian in that instance.
Nevertheless, Qin Sha's strength was limited; even if he managed to pull Ye Tian into the Light Sphere of blazing sun, he could not refine him. Yet Ye Tian was on the verge of a breakthrough and could not break free successfully. It is worth mentioning that since the Blazing Sun Technique is fueled by fiery energy, if Ye Tian's body did not contain the extreme fire of Crimson Dragon Golden Blood and was merely undergoing a Martial Sovereign breakthrough, he might have actually been melted away.
So this was a coincidence—a coincidence that seemed destined to doom the Qin Family!
With the successful enhancement of Crimson Dragon Golden Blood and his breakthrough to Five-Stage Martial Mastery, Ye Tian's strength surged dramatically. Compared to before, he was like a different person. With just a casual palm strike, he forced back an opponent of Five-Stage Martial Artist level into a state of utter disarray.
Ye Tian radiated with vitality, his eyes shining with a golden brilliance that made it hard for others to look directly at him. A faint golden light swirled around his body, resembling Golden Armor.
The corner of the Shadow's mouth twitched; he wanted to speak but didn't know what to say. He wanted to flee but was wary of Qin Changlin's retribution.
However, what good would it do to stay? He was certainly no match for Ye Tian, and even teaming up with the Black Butcher might not guarantee victory...
Time rewound to before Ye Tian broke free.
Cold Moon exerted all her strength to activate the Flowing Clouds and Floating Shadows Azure Sword Diagram. In an instant, thousands of sword shadows shot out, accompanied by continuous screams and wails. Under the divine martial arts created by Cloud Pavilion Master Qin Fufeng, the Qin Family Guards were cut down like wild grass, scattered in disarray. Coupled with Duan Liu's Void Fire, the scene resembled a hell on earth.
In just a few breaths, over eight hundred Qin Family Guards had suffered heavy losses.
As for Yun'er and the Black Butcher's fierce battle, it unfolded silently. The Brilliant Light emitted from the Treasure Light Sword Hilt illuminated a square area of ten zhang, making it impossible for outsiders to see what was happening inside.
The Black Butcher's roar was drowned out by the overwhelming cries from outside. A shocking blood mark appeared on his arm, as thick as a tree trunk, with flesh torn open.
Although Yun'er had injured the Black Butcher, her complexion was also somewhat pale. The backlash from forcibly using the Nine Nether Ice Phoenix Power was evident. Even though she could only momentarily unleash the true form of the Nine Nether Ice Phoenix to intimidate the Black Butcher, failing to deliver a fatal blow indicated the outcome of this battle.
Powerless and helpless.
"Ye Tian, I hope you can rescue Cold Frost..."
The intense backlash made Yun'er feel faint; her mind buzzed as if the world around her were spinning.
Ding...
The Treasure Light Sword Hilt fell from his hand to the ground, making a crisp sound as it hit the scattered stones.
"Roar..."
The Black Butcher, fully activated by the Golden Pattern Power, let out a laugh that resembled a tiger's roar, striding slowly towards Yun'er.
Bang!
A sudden loud noise came from a distance, causing the Black Butcher to instinctively turn his head.
Upon seeing this, the Black Butcher froze in place, as he witnessed a flash of golden light in front of the shadow, and his body was blown apart!
Blood and flesh splattered at the Black Butcher's feet, resembling a piece of heart tissue...
"Big guy, how about we have some fun?"
The young man walked over slowly, his face radiating an undeniable confidence as if he were destined to turn the tide.
