Ye Wuque, Wu Chong and Qin Wentian separated from each other. Upon seeing Wang Teng's death, an intense feeling of dread arose in their hearts.
The three of them had surrounded Qin Wentian, yet Wang Teng had already died.
When they stared at Qin Wentian again, their gazes were filled with trepidation, and their countenances were extremely unsightly to behold.
In fact, in the direction of the Ye Clan, many people stood up as they stared at the sky. Evidently, they were all stunned by this scene.
How did Qin Wentian become so powerful? If this was the case, wouldn't Ye Wuque be …
Only to see Qin Wentian shifting his gaze onto Ye Wuque and Wu Chong. The two of them exchanged glances, as ruthless expressions could be seen on their faces.
"ROAR!" Violent waves of demonic Qi gushed forth as Wu Chong's three Beast-type Astral Souls howled. His entire person was akin to a primordial demon descending from the heavens, rushing towards Qin Wentian. Tens of thousands of demonic beasts galloped in the air, as though they were all terrifying demonic beasts, rushing towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's arms were clad in demonic armor, as the demonic light in his eyes grew even more demonic. Currently, he had already cultivated the second level of the Fiend Transformation Art, the Demon Advent Boundary. In addition to the power of his bloodline, he was akin to a terrifying demon king.
The Dragon Subduing Fist blasted out, as the roars of dragons echoed in the air. Incomparably violent, it collided with the tens of thousands of demonic beasts.
At the same instant, the wings on Ye Wuque's back flickered as he arced through the air in a magnificent arc. Both of his palms manifested a multi-colored sword as he slashed towards Qin Wentian's throat.
Qin Wentian didn't even bother to glance at Ye Wuque. With a wave of his left hand, Sword Qi whistled through the air as Qin Wentian pointed out with his finger. Instantly, tens of thousands of sharp swords transformed into beams of killing intent that shot towards Ye Wuque.
Ye Wuque's countenance drastically changed as he instantly changed his attack. At the same instant, Qin Wentian's right palm trembled several times, using an incomparably tyrannical strength to forcefully shatter Wu Chong's attack. A few beams of blood-colored light shot into Wu Chong's sea of consciousness, and the spectators only saw Wu Chong's eyes turning lifeless as his body fell from the skies.
When Qin Wentian glanced at Ye Wuque again, Ye Wuque's countenance turned somewhat unnatural. With a flap of his wings, he abruptly turned and sped away. From the exchange earlier, he already understood that it was impossible for him to defeat Qin Wentian. At the moment of life and death, who would care about face? Life was the most important thing.
The feathers of the Garuda appeared on Qin Wentian's back, as he arced through the air, resembling a true Garuda. With a swipe of his Dragon Capturing Hands, Ye Wuque was unable to advance any further.
The direction in which Ye Wuque was fleeing was in the direction of those from the Ye Clan. At this moment, the eyes of those from the Ye Clan were filled with an intense desire to survive, as well as fear.
"No …" The countenances of those from the Ye Clan were extremely unsightly to behold. They had no way to accept such an ending.
The Dragon Capturing Hands lifted Ye Wuque up into the air, as Qin Wentian faced the members of the Ye Clan, his countenance as calm as ever.
"So this is the genius that your Ye Clan has always been proud of? Even before I stepped onto the path of cultivation, his halo had already descended upon the Sky Harmony City, pressuring the Qin Clan, as well as me." Qin Wentian stared at the members of the Ye Clan, as well as Bai Qingsong.
"And now, it's only been a year, right?" Qin Wentian mumbled to himself, but the impact of his calm words was immense.
That's right, in just a short span of a year, Qin Wentian had already defeated Ye Wuque, who had once looked down on him with disdain.
Bai Qingsong stared at the pleading eyes of Ye Wuque, as he couldn't believe that this was all real.
"Release him."
At this moment, a voice drifted over. The person who spoke was none other than the person seated on the Azure Jadeite Dragon Seat, Chu Tianjiao.
Chu Tianjiao was still as calm as ever, and nobody knew what he was thinking about. Yet when he spoke these four words, the weight of his words was extremely heavy.
Ye Wuque was once again filled with hope. The eyes of those from the Ye Clan also shone with a bright light.
That's right, as long as Chu Tianjiao spoke, the person with the most authority in Chu had spoken, there would still be hope.
Qin Wentian didn't turn his head back. He continued staring ahead, only to hear the sound of a cracking sound. Instantly, the eyes of those from the Ye Clan turned ashen, as they were filled with astonishment and terror.
That fiendishly handsome youth slowly released his grip, as Ye WuQue's body fell from the skies. Qin Wentian didn't even say a single word. He directly used his actions to destroy the last strand of hope they had.
Chu Tianjiao had a strange expression on his face, as he froze. Although he had expected that Qin Wentian would reject, he didn't expect Qin Wentian to be so decisive, directly killing Ye Wuque after he pleaded for mercy.
It was as though he was the one who hastened Ye Wuque's death.
Qin Wentian had undoubtedly ruthlessly slapped him in the face in front of the entire Chu Country.
"Release him?" A mocking smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face. "Mountain, he's merely a student of the Emperor Star Academy. Who has he offended? Have the person who killed him ever thought of releasing him? Have the students of the Emperor Star Academy ever thought of releasing him? When the Ye Clan encircled the Qin Clan in the Sky Harmony City, how many of them died? Has anyone ever thought of releasing them? "
The words spoken by Qin Wentian were cold, he didn't even cast a glance at Chu Tianjiao.
The surroundings of the Chu Emperor District were incomparably silent, no one spoke. It was as though they could feel the blazing anger in Qin Wentian's heart. If not, he wouldn't have killed Ye Wuque and the other two in such a domineering manner.
"Chu Tianjiao, if you had the chance to kill me, I believe that the word 'release' wouldn't even cross your mind, right?" Qin Wentian indifferently asked.
Chu Tianjiao didn't reply, but it was exactly as Qin Wentian had said. If he had the chance to kill Qin Wentian, he wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.
"Me too." Qin Wentian calmly spoke, his words causing the gazes of the crowd to stiffen. Me too. Four simple words, but it was enough to announce Qin Wentian's determination.
Qin Wentian then turned his gaze onto Bai Qingsong. At this moment, Bai Qingsong was truly afraid.
Once upon a time, the Ye Clan had descended upon the Sky Harmony City and revealed to Bai Qingsong the news of the marriage alliance between Autumn Snow and Ye Wuque. At that time, Bai Qingsong was filled with excitement and agitation. He could see the rise of the Bai Clan, as well as hope. Without hesitation, he kicked Qin Wentian away, betraying the Qin Clan.
And now, Ye Wuque had actually died in the hands of the youth he had kicked away. This feeling was like a dream, no one could understand Bai Qingsong's feelings right now.
Did he regret it? He didn't know. Even if he regretted it, what could he do? The him now felt as though he had aged a lot. He was jealous of Qin Chuan, who had such an outstanding foster son. As for his two daughters, the genius Autumn Snow had gradually fallen, and the youngest daughter, whom he had looked down upon, had condensed an Astral Soul from the 4th Heavenly Layer. But because she despised him for repaying kindness with enmity, she broke off relations with him.
And after experiencing all these setbacks, he witnessed the rise of Qin Wentian. Who could understand such a feeling?
"Qin Wentian." At this moment, Autumn Snow spoke. She smiled as she looked at Qin Wentian, as though a huge boulder had been lifted from her heart.
"I know that the Bai Clan has let you down, and I have let you down as well. Sometimes, I regret the choice I made back then. After all, it was you who singlehandedly allowed me to become a dazzling genius, yet what I received in return was betrayal. Not only that, the Bai Clan did something unforgivable, and participated in the plot against the Qin Clan. I know that I don't have the qualifications to beg for your forgiveness, but I still have to say it."
At this moment, Autumn Snow calmly continued, "No matter how you want to deal with me, even if you want to kill me, I will accept it wholeheartedly. I was the one who asked for it, but I beg you to spare my father. He's already old, and I'm no longer a dazzling genius. My younger sister, Bai Qing, left because of you.
"Do you know that Bai Qing is even more powerful than me? Her first Astral Soul was condensed from the 4th Heavenly Layer. That day, she cried as she told my father about it, revealing her Astral Soul. But because of her Wentian gege, she severed all ties with my father and ran away from home, never to be heard from again. You should know how much she relies on you, so I don't have the qualifications to beg you. But I beg you, for the sake of Bai Qing, spare my father. If not, in the future, if she knew that her Wentian gege had personally killed her father, how would she face you?"
Upon hearing the sincerity of Autumn Snow's words, the spectators were all moved. So the rumors back then were true. The reason why Autumn Snow could become a dazzling genius was all because of Qin Wentian. And the Bai Clan, had betrayed Qin Wentian.
The youngest daughter of the Bai Clan, Bai Qing, had actually condensed an Astral Soul from the 4th Heavenly Layer. This was simply too terrifying.
Qin Wentian's heart trembled slightly, as the silhouette of a young girl appeared in his mind. He could still remember the time when the young girl handed him a dagger, asking him to use her as a hostage to escape from the Bai Clan. Back then, Bai Qing had been so heartbroken.
"Wentian gege." The melodious voice of the young girl resounded in the air. Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath. He had already planned to kill Bai Qingsong today, but after hearing the words of Autumn Snow, his heart wavered.
If he killed Bai Qingsong, how would he face Bai Qing in the future?
Qin Wentian turned his gaze onto Autumn Snow. She still had a smile on her face, but within that smile, drops of tears could be seen. In her mind, wasn't she reminiscing about the past? However, all her memories had dissipated with the wind, leaving behind only a body full of scars.
"Bai Qingsong, cripple your own cultivation and become an ordinary person." Qin Wentian finally spoke. He didn't want Bai Qingsong to die.
Bai Qingsong's countenance faltered for a moment, before he lightly nodded his head. Lifting his palms, he abruptly slammed his palms into his own body, shattering the arterial pathways in his body. He coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood, and in an instant, he seemed to have aged by tens of years, as a few strands of white hair appeared on his head.
"Father." Autumn Snow supported Bai Qingsong, as she inclined her head, and looked towards Qin Wentian.
However, she only saw Qin Wentian slowly turning around and slowly walking away. In the end, he didn't do anything to her.
Sitting on the ground, Autumn Snow started sobbing uncontrollably as she stared at the departing silhouette of her father.
Now that she was free, why did she still feel so sad? Staring at the back of Qin Wentian's figure, Autumn Snow felt as though a reincarnation cycle had passed. Qin Wentian didn't do anything to her, but why did her heart ache so much?
Qin Wentian had left, and this past event had already faded away like the wind in his heart. Only that innocent and naïve lass Bai Qing would remain in his warm memories!
