"Didn't I come looking for trouble with you yet, and you've come knocking on my door?"
"Do you really think I, Xu Chuan, have no temper?"
Xu Chuan snorted coldly and stood up.
A chilling killing intent emanated from within him.
Even the God Slaying Blade in his storage ring trembled slightly at this killing intent, emitting a metallic clanging sound.
"The Blazing Fire Valley has no need to exist!"
As the words fell,
Xu Chuan took a step forward, appearing outside the Wu family's estate.
He stood proudly in the void, divine essence flowing around him, his fierce killing intent sweeping outwards.
Today…
He would take the head of the young master of Blazing Fire Valley to quell the killing intent in his heart.
Outside the Wu family's estate.
The young master of Blazing Fire Valley was in high spirits, as another beauty was about to be brought into his possession.
He had lost count of how many times he had forced women into marriage.
Each time, his status as the young master of Blazing Fire Valley had ensured a smooth process.
That day, he was at the Wu family's estate on some business when he discovered a stunning beauty. He was instantly smitten and wanted to claim her as his own.
Thus, with his support, the Wu family had sent people to kill her parents and forcibly abduct her.
He then returned to prepare for the wedding of Xu Lixing.
However, the only thing that displeased him was that the Great Elder of the Wu family had not yet appeared since he had spoken.
The beauty he yearned for was also nowhere to be seen.
Had she run away?
His expression changed slightly!
"Hurry up and bring out Miss Xu Lixing! Does your Wu family want to be annihilated?"
He roared impatiently.
As soon as he finished speaking.
A figure appeared before him.
This person wore a green robe and had an exceedingly handsome appearance.
Even more terrifying was the divine essence flowing around him, making him seem otherworldly, like an immortal in the mortal world.
"Who… who are you?"
Qin Yuan's eyes widened in surprise.
He didn't know the identity of the person before him, but his aura clearly indicated an extraordinary background.
"What? You want to take my sister as a concubine, yet you don't recognize me?"
Xu Chuan said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this.
Qin Yuan's scalp tingled, and his heart pounded violently.
This person was Xu Lixing's useless brother!?
At that moment, he almost wanted to turn and flee.
As for the wedding procession behind him, who cared if they lived or died?
However.
He dared not.
Feeling the killing intent emanating from Xu Chuan, he knew that even if he ran now, he would surely die.
"So… it's my brother-in-law…"
"It's a misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding!"
"I only wanted to marry Miss Xu Lixing as my legitimate wife, I didn't mean to take a concubine…"
Qin Yuan spoke repeatedly, trying to quell Xu Chuan's anger.
"It's a misunderstanding…"
Xu Chuan feigned realization.
But then.
He said coldly, "Do you think you're worthy of marrying my sister? And brother-in-law, you're getting too presumptuous! Look at what you are!"
Xu Chuan uttered these words, filled with killing intent.
To Qin Yuan, they sounded like thunderclaps in broad daylight.
Instantly, Qin Yuan's face changed drastically, turning ashen.
"How your Blazing Fire Valley usually acts atrociously and forcibly takes civilian women, I don't care to interfere."
"But you should not have allowed the Wu family to kill my parents, nor should you have set your sights on my sister!"
"Elder Hong, tell me, what crime does this person deserve?"
Xu Chuan turned his head and asked Elder Hong Tu, who had just appeared behind him.
"Killing the relative of our Taiyi Sacred Land's quasi-sacred son means disrespecting our Taiyi Sacred Land. According to the sacred land's rules, he shall be killed without mercy, and his entire family exterminated!"
Elder Hong Tu's voice was very calm.
"Did you hear that?"
"If you seek your own death, then you can't blame me!"
"And your Blazing Fire Valley will also have to pay for your foolishness!"
The moment Xu Chuan's voice fell.
Clang!
The God Slaying Blade appeared in his hand.
Then.
Xu Chuan swung his blade.
A dazzling blade energy, filled with intense killing intent, rose from Xu Chuan and directly slashed towards Qin Yuan.
"Spare… spare my life!"
Seeing the invincible blade strike, Qin Yuan instinctively opened his mouth to beg for mercy.
But the blade energy was too fast, and it instantly struck him.
However, just as he thought he was about to die.
A red light flashed, blocking the blade strike for Qin Yuan.
"I… I'm not dead?"
Qin Yuan looked at the scene in disbelief.
The aura of death was still lingering before his eyes.
But he was not dead!
Immediately.
He even began to mock Xu Chuan.
"I thought you were so powerful, is this all you've got?"
He was completely unaware that he had just narrowly escaped death.
If not for that red light, he would likely be a corpse by now.
Xu Chuan frowned as he watched this scene.
He could tell that someone at the Reincarnation realm had left him a life-preserving means.
However, Xu Chuan had no intention of letting him off.
Even a Reincarnation realm martial artist could not leave behind many such means.
He wanted to see how long he could dodge.
Thus.
Xu Chuan was about to strike again.
However, at this moment.
A middle-aged figure drifted out from Qin Yuan's body. Judging by his appearance, he bore some resemblance to Qin Yuan.
Xu Chuan recognized him. According to the information from the sacred land,
This person was the Valley Master of Blazing Fire Valley, and Qin Yuan's father—Qin Wu, a martial artist at the second level of the Reincarnation realm.
"Young sir, please wait. May I ask where my son has offended you to warrant such relentless pursuit?"
Qin Wu inquired.
"Then you'll have to ask your good son."
Xu Chuan chuckled and said.
"I say, he must die today!"
Xu Chuan was too lazy to waste any more words. This was merely a spiritual projection of a Reincarnation realm martial artist.
It couldn't stop him from killing Qin Yuan.
He once again unleashed a blade energy from the God Slaying Blade, intending to kill Qin Yuan.
"Father, save me, I don't want to die!"
Qin Yuan was now terrified. He had realized that the previous strike was a life-preserving measure left by his father.
It wasn't that Xu Chuan was too weak to harm him, as he had initially thought.
At the same time, he regretted his earlier taunts.
This had undoubtedly enraged Xu Chuan further.
This could be seen from the blade energy, which was countless times more terrifying than before.
Qin Wu's spiritual projection also looked at Xu Chuan with a grave expression.
He was merely a spiritual projection and had no combat power whatsoever, only able to use his identity to deter the opponent.
But it was clear that Xu Chuan was not buying it.
"Could you please show some mercy? I, Qin Wu, and the Blazing Fire Valley are willing to pay any price!"
He still wanted to try and get something for his son.
But Xu Chuan was too lazy to talk to him.
From the beginning, Qin Yuan's fate had been sealed.
Boom!
The blade energy tore through the air.
Brilliant divine light appeared in the sky, and a thick killing intent permeated the heavens and earth.
Not far away, Qin Yuan was already unable to move under the oppressive power, and could only watch as the blade strike approached him.
"Father, save…"
Under the threat of death, Qin Yuan wanted to cry for help, but before the words could be spoken.
With a bang, Qin Yuan's body erupted in a light, then exploded violently, scattering flesh and blood everywhere.
"Yuan'er!"
Qin Wu let out a pained cry, his eyes turning red.
He watched his son die by Xu Chuan's blade, yet he was unable to do anything.
