"Break!"
The clear voice escaped from Ye Tian's mouth, but the Black Butcher, suspended in mid-air, could not hear it clearly. The Whispers roared in his ears, and below him, the Azure Gold Radiance flickered.
One word could not change the course of battle; what was most important was to quickly form the Protective Barrier, as the Bagua Pattern, now the size of a drum, possessed overwhelming power.
The Black Butcher thought this and exerted all his energy even more vigorously.
Bang!
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, followed by a tremor in his body. The energy he had barely managed to summon dissipated in an instant. Not only was there no Protective Barrier, but even the protective energy around him had vanished without a trace.
Despair surged within him as the Golden Azure Radiance pierced his eyes.
Instinctively, the Black Butcher touched his abdomen in mid-air; it felt wet and sticky, clearly indicating that the Nine Streams of Energy had burst through his flesh.
In that moment of despair, regret mixed in. He should have sensed that the Nine Streams of Energy could not inflict substantial damage on the Golden Pattern's formidable physique. Yet, blinded by his irrational fear of Ye Tian, he lost his composure and was crushed by Falling Leaf Snow at a critical moment.
"Farewell."
Ye Tian suddenly unleashed the fully charged Bagua Thunder Seal. The powerful force combined with the secondary explosive damage was far beyond what the Bagua Seal used as bait could compare to. With this strike, the Black Butcher was undoubtedly doomed!
Boom!
In the midst of the explosion, blood mist filled the air, and within a square area of several meters, it was as if a rain of blood had fallen.
Without even using the second activation of the Bagua Thunder Seal, the initial damage alone turned the Black Butcher's steel-like body into dust.
Ye Tian withdrew, drifting away before the blood mist descended. The sound of explosions had ceased, and Wine Kid had already slain the last Qin Family Guard, leaving the small forest in silence.
The battle, where five faced a thousand, finally came to an end, resulting in a devastating defeat for the Qin Family...
Looking around, the ground was littered with bodies in disarray; a rough estimate suggested there were at least hundreds. Blood stained the wild grass of Azure Eyes, and a strong smell of blood hung in the air. This garden, which should have been peaceful and serene, now resembled a slaughterhouse.
Ye Tian suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Wine Kid. The latter seemed to sense Ye Tian's gaze and turned to meet his eyes.
Wine Kid's chest heaved; the brutal fighting and the baptism of blood seemed to have exhilarated him. His eyes, which should have been deep black, now faintly glimmered with a bloodthirsty red light.
Frowning deeply, the earlier feeling of unease resurfaced. Ye Tian instinctively took a step back, not out of fear, but because the Wine Kid before him felt so unfamiliar.
The two exchanged silent glances. After a moment, the blood-red hue in Wine Kid's eyes gradually faded away, and after a brief pause, he returned to his usual appearance.
"What are you staring at me for?"
Wine Kid felt uneasy under Ye Tian's intense gaze and looked down to examine himself.
Ye Tian remained silent, but his furrowed brow showed no signs of relaxing.
"Did we win?"
After confirming that there was nothing unusual about himself, Wine Kid surveyed the surroundings again. Upon seeing the corpses of the Qin Family Guards scattered everywhere and realizing that his side was basically unharmed, he asked in astonishment.
Ye Tian nodded slowly, no longer looking at him, nor did he inquire why Wine Kid had suddenly developed a murderous intent, keeping that mystery to himself.
Looking puzzled, Wine Kid raised his hand to examine the already dulled Steel Blade he was holding. He casually tossed it aside and followed Ye Tian towards Cold Moon and the others.
"Sister Ningyue, how is Yun'er?" Ye Tian asked softly, though his concern was not outwardly expressed.
Cold Moon had already checked on Yun'er’s condition. There were basically no external injuries; she was likely unconscious due to exhaustion. Thus, she said there was nothing serious and estimated that she would wake up on her own in a short while, but would be very weak afterward.
Ye Tian nodded. In fact, he knew why Yun'er had fainted; Calm Moon's guess was mostly correct. She just couldn't deduce the reason for Yun'er's exhaustion.
Sighing lightly, Ye Tian squatted down to pick up Yun'er and said to everyone, "Let's go. Qin Changlin will probably come soon."
Upon hearing this, tension appeared on everyone's faces. Qin Changlin was not someone of Qin Sha or Qin Qing's caliber; if he really came, their already weakened formation would likely be doomed. Everyone furrowed their brows, but only the now normal Wine Kid seemed excited, pointing at the corpses on the ground and saying, "Qin Changlin? Bring it on! If he dares to come, I'll take him down."
"Who gave you that confidence..." Duan Liu chuckled bitterly and turned to walk with Ye Tian and Cold Moon.
Wine Kid paused for a moment before quickly catching up and hastily leaving the ruins of Brave Blade Hall.
...
At the Qin Family's main residence.
The family head, Qin Changlin, was standing in front of a birdcage, teasing the Golden Thread Sparrow inside. A broad smile spread across his face as if even the wrinkles left by time had been smoothed out, making him look many years younger.
Last night, he learned that his eldest son, Qin Sha, had been publicly humiliated by a female disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect who possessed a Cloud Token. This was no small matter. The Qin Family had reached their current status not through mere violence, but through the accumulated prestige over the years. Losing that prestige would result in losses that could hardly be described in words.
Therefore, regardless of whether one was a disciple of the Cloud Sea Sect or anyone else, even if the King of Heaven himself came, if they touched the face of the Qin Family, they would have to pay the price.
Wherever it was necessary to regain face, a scene unfolded where thousands surrounded the disciples of the Cloud Sea Sect.
Naturally, the two useless sons, Qin Sha and Qin Qing, were not worth mentioning. To ensure the matter was handled properly, two top experts from Black Butcher Shadow were dispatched alongside over a thousand elite soldiers. With such a lineup, success was guaranteed.
Of course, considering his somewhat tenuous connection with Ye Tian, Qin Changlin did not personally intervene. However, what difference would it make whether he showed up or not? A few teenagers in their teens and twenties could hardly stir up any trouble in his territory.
Moreover, even if things went awry and the Cloud Sea Sect sought accountability, he could always pin the blame on Black Butcher and Shadow.
However, things would not go awry. The so-called "high disciples" of the Cloud Sea Sect would surely meet a gruesome end. At that time, they would first be paraded around Luoma Market for three days before being set ablaze, leaving no evidence behind. This would significantly enhance both Luoma Market's and the Qin Family's prestige while allowing him to vent his anger for his son—truly a win-win situation.
If the Qin Family dared to kill even those with Cloud Tokens from the Cloud Sea Sect, ha ha! Once this news spread, who would still dare to oppose the Qin Family? By then, it wouldn't just be small places like Luoma Market; even in Divine Wood County, there would definitely be a place for the Qin Family.
Thinking of this, Qin Changlin smiled even more brightly.
However, the disciples of the Cloud Sea Clan lived up to their reputation; an entire night passed and things still hadn't been settled. Qin Changlin felt no sense of abnormality; in fact, anyone would agree that there was nothing particularly unusual about this situation. Although it had taken some time, as long as things were resolved in the end—after all, good things take time!
In his extreme delight, Qin Changlin burst into laughter. Little did he know that the Qin Family was about to face a catastrophic disaster.
"Report!"
Suddenly, an urgent voice came from outside the door, as if it had been shouted right at the entrance.
Qin Changlin impatiently shook his collar, having told this group of subordinates countless times not to panic. If others saw them, they would think the Qin Family lacked depth.
After a moment, the sound of Footsteps echoed as the guards outside entered the hall. After greeting him, one of them, with a serious expression, said, "Reporting to the head of the family, the outer gate guards have brought terrible news about the Eldest Son and Second Young Master..."
The guard's voice gradually faded. He clearly saw Qin Changlin's expression change upon hearing the words "terrible news," his killing intent rising as if he wanted to devour someone.
"Continue!"
Qin Changlin shouted loudly. He still did not believe that Ye Tian and the others could take the lives of Qin Sha and Qin Qing in such a situation, but he was starting to waver.
The guard trembled in fear and hurriedly continued.
Qin Changlin listened quietly, but his aging face increasingly revealed a fierce expression, his iron fists clenched like rocks, his steel teeth grinding together.
When the guard began to recount their side's casualties, Qin Changlin's body started to tremble. However, what excited him most was not the death of his beloved son or trusted generals. The deaths of Qin Sha, Qin Qing, and Black Butcher Shadow, along with half of their thousand guards remaining—this was impossible for just five people to accomplish! Could it be that the Cloud Sea Sect sent reinforcements? Was everything a conspiracy aimed at attacking the Qin Family?
After a long pause, Qin Changlin forced out a sentence through gritted teeth: "What about those five? Bring their bodies here; I want to crush their bones and scatter their ashes to relieve my hatred!"
The guard was taken aback; he hadn't even had time to mention Ye Tian and the others' casualties yet. He thought that the head of the family would be able to guess the outcome due to his great talent, but he never expected that the Qin Family still naively believed that Ye Tian and his group were exchanging lives...
"Hmm?" The guard remained silent for a long time, while Qin Changlin, filled with anger and confusion, forgot about the past.
The dark and murderous gaze from Qin Changlin left the guard paralyzed on the spot. With a thud, he knelt on the ground; although he didn't speak, his meaning was clear.
"Don't tell me they all escaped unscathed." The corners of Qin Changlin's mouth began to twitch.
"Little man, little man..." The guard stammered and could only timidly nod in response.
"One thousand against five, and they let them retreat unscathed?" Qin Changlin stepped forward, his fierce face resembling that of a Hell Demon.
The guard finally broke down completely, crying out that he was just a messenger and had nothing to do with the matter at hand.
"Get out of here." Qin Changlin waved his sleeve, sparing the messenger guard who had not participated in the encirclement.
The guard felt as if he had been granted a reprieve, repeatedly bowing his head in gratitude. He understood the master’s temper well; when angry, he not only killed but could also devour his enemies alive!
"Wait! Gather the five hundred heroes who returned victorious at the Martial Arena. I want to reward them personally!"
Qin Changlin's voice came from behind, and the guard realized that the master was preparing for a bloody purge as punishment for incompetence...
After the guard left, Qin Changlin suddenly let out a grim laugh, continuing for quite some time before finally stopping. Then he slowly walked out, gazing into the unknown distance, and said fiercely, "Those who destroy my Qin Family will pay the price!"
At the end of his gaze stood a towering mountain peak, proudly rising above...
