Chapter 1989 - 1962: A Step Too Late
"Does it matter who I am?"
Listening to Qiu Tianrui’s words, the middle-aged man’s mouth slightly curled up into a cold smile, his tone filled with indifference: "Young Master Qiu, instead of considering trivial matters, you should think about how to explain to King of Hell when you see him shortly, so you can get a good rebirth next lifetime."
"It seems you’re determined to take my life today, Qiu Tianrui, but it remains to be seen whether you have the capability."
"Enough chatter, Young Master Qiu, Young Master Wei wants you to join him down below."
"Young Master Wei?"
Upon hearing the middle-aged man’s words, Qiu Tianrui’s face suddenly changed dramatically: "Was it you who killed Wei Xu?"
Unfortunately, the middle-aged man did not respond to Qiu Tianrui, instead, he lunged directly at him, the longsword in his hand carrying a sharp and chilling aura, stabbed straight at Qiu Tianrui’s chest.
Before the sword even reached him, the Sword Qi arrived first, causing Qiu Tianrui to immediately feel an icy chill rushing towards him, stimulating his chest and giving rise to a cascade of goosebumps.
"If you want to kill me, then come and try."
Qiu Tianrui bit fiercely on the tip of his tongue, trying hard to keep his mind unaffected by the Sword Qi, his hands surged with purple qi, with one chop transformed into a purple haze that collided ferociously.
"Bang!"
Their True Qi clashed endlessly, creating earth-shattering explosions around, making everything seem deafening. The purple qi surrounding Qiu Tianrui was instantly torn to shreds by the long sword.
Although Qiu Tianrui’s strength was at the Mythical Realm, he was still not a match for the middle-aged man, indeed, challenging across realms like Lu Tianxing was rare, and clearly Qiu Tianrui wasn’t one of them, otherwise the Qiu Family wouldn’t just be a mere family on Qin Island.
"Young Master Qiu, it seems your strength is limited, let me send you on your way, die for me."
The middle-aged man exclaimed coldly, his longsword shook violently, suddenly bursting forth dazzling brilliance, illuminating the entire space.
"Whoosh!"
With a piercing sound, the Sword Light shot out from his hand, like a venomous snake with bared fangs, whistling towards Qiu Tianrui’s chest.
"What!"
Seeing the Sword Light whistling towards him, Qiu Tianrui’s face drastically changed, his pupils contracting to the most dangerous pinhole size, retreating a step, his body surged once again with purple qi, both palms striking out like lightning, a thick purple qi roaring and spreading through the air, giving off the feeling of purple haze covering the sky in an instant.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
The long sword and the purple haze collided continuously, emitting fierce clash sounds, whirlwinds swept all around, shaking the surrounding walls to a dull roar, even piercing eardrums.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, another deafening roar erupted, as the purple qi and long sword collided once more and dispersed into the void, Qiu Tianrui’s body jolted as if struck by lightning, uncontrollably spitting out a mouthful of blood, and unable to stop retreating.
The middle-aged man saw this scene and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips, disappearing in a flash, and when his figure appeared again, he was already in front of Qiu Tianrui, lifting his foot and kicking fiercely towards Qiu Tianrui’s chest.
Qiu Tianrui’s face drastically changed, hastily dodging to the side.
However, just as he dodged the kick, the middle-aged man’s fist already slammed heavily towards Qiu Tianrui’s chest.
"Bang!"
Qiu Tianrui’s body was sent flying, crashing heavily into a nearby wall, with a mouthful of blood spraying out again, his face rapidly turning pale, clearly having suffered severe injuries in this collision.
Sending Qiu Tianrui flying with a punch, the middle-aged man hesitated not a moment, once again dashing towards Qiu Tianrui, simultaneously leaping high with terrible force, ready to stomp down, with such force to crush Qiu Tianrui’s chest and ensure his death.
Recognizing the danger, Qiu Tianrui slapped the ground fiercely with both hands, launching his body airborne and moving aside.
The middle-aged man drew a mocking smile, inhaling True Qi, his body darting towards Qiu Tianrui like electricity, readying another punch towards his chest.
"Bang!"
Qiu Tianrui’s body flew backward like a severed kite, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Qiu Tianrui, the dignified eldest of the Qiu Family, appeared as defenseless as an ant in the eyes of this middle-aged man.
At that moment, Qiu Tianrui curled up on the ground, pale and weak, with a bitter smile deep in his eyes, realizing his fate was truly inevitable this day.
"Young Master Qiu, it’s getting late, you should be on your way."
Looking at Qiu Tianrui curled on the ground, the middle-aged man’s eyes flashed with a sharp killing intent.
Then, the middle-aged man slowly stretched out his palm, five fingers spread wide, True Qi swirling around his palm, forming a dazzling Sword Light carrying a potent death aura.
Seeing the Sword Qi in the middle-aged man’s hand, Qiu Tianrui’s face was filled with unwillingness, he hadn’t fulfilled his wish to make the Qiu Family a great family in China, he was unwilling to die like this, yet he was helpless, unable to dodge the attack.
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, the Sword Qi in the middle-aged man’s hand shot out, charged with death aura, spiraling towards Qiu Tianrui’s chest.
As Qiu Tianrui watched the whistling Sword Qi, the bitterness on his face deepened, realizing this time there’s no escaping his fate.
"How dare you..."
As Qiu Tianrui faced impending death from the Sword Qi, suddenly, a thunderous voice resounded like a lightning bolt from the sky.
Along with the voice, a figure sped swiftly like lightning towards this side, immediately a hand shaped by True Qi condensed into existence, reaching toward the Sword Light fiercely.
And upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s voice, a bitter smile appeared on Qiu Tianrui’s face; had Lu Tianxing arrived a second earlier, he might have been saved, but Lu Tianxing was late, this close encounter he couldn’t possibly escape, even if Lu Tianxing intervened, it was useless—the only thing he could do now was to try to move his body, hoping the Sword Qi wouldn’t hit his heart; otherwise, even a Daluo Golden Immortal descending couldn’t save him.
