Free Web NovelChapter 2008: Chapter 1981: Qiu Zhengfeng’s Strength
"Isn’t it surprising? I was clearly left unsure of life and death, so why did I suddenly Su Xing? You specially used Poisoned Silver Needle to break my True Qi and kill me. Why couldn’t it even pierce my skin?"
Qiu Tianrui grinned and said, "Haven’t you heard of the art of Disguise Technique, where someone can substitute another’s identity? It’s just a face. It’s really too easy to fool you all."
While speaking, Qiu Tianrui, sitting on the hospital bed, reached out and gently wiped his face. Suddenly, that face rippled like flowing water and gradually distorted. Quickly, a face completely different from Qiu Tianrui’s appeared, presenting itself before the man’s eyes.
"Third Young Master of Lu Family, it’s you."
Upon seeing this face, the man suddenly cried out in shock, his entire body becoming exceptionally vigilant. His muscles instantly tensed to the maximum, his complexion as if he had seen a ghost.
Seeing the man’s reaction, Lu Tianxing’s face beamed with a bright smile, saying, "What, are you surprised to see me? Are you disappointed that I am not Qiu Tianrui?"
Again hearing Lu Tianxing speak, the man’s body began trembling uncontrollably. He was an expert at Middle-stage Mythical level, viewing Qiu Tianrui as an ant, easily extinguished with a flip of the hand. Even with Qiu Zhengfeng’s protection, killing Qiu Tianrui would still be effortless. But now, the sheep-like Qiu Tianrui had turned into a Fierce Tiger, rendering him Lu Tianxing’s prey, held completely within his grasp. Such a transformation from Heaven to Hell, anyone would find difficult to accept.
Though his heart struggled to accept this abrupt change, the man was inherently a ruthless killer, possessed of a will unmatched by ordinary people. Following a brief panic, he quickly regained his senses, eyes suddenly bursting with a ferocious glint, without any hesitation, he launched himself toward Qiu Zhengfeng.
Squashing soft targets first, it was clear that Qiu Zhengfeng seemed like the softer target compared to Lu Tianxing.
"Mr. Lu, leave him to me. I want to personally teach him a lesson."
Seeing the man charge toward him, Qiu Zhengfeng shouted, "Dare to attack my grandson? Today, I’ll let you know the Qiu Family isn’t one you can say kill and casually kill." ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
As the words fell, an appalling murderous intent erupted from Qiu Zhengfeng’s body, the purple energy enveloping him instantly transforming into a purple-gold hue.
Qiu Zhengfeng’s eyes sparkled with fierce deadly intent, True Qi surged continually on his body. Suddenly, he pointed with a finger, and instantly, purple energy rolled like a tide, transforming into Sword Qi that enveloped the man.
This move was exactly the same as what Qiu Tianrui exhibited, but it was even more terrifying and chilling. In an instant, purple energy spread and a momentum full of murderous intent unfolded.
At this moment, the man also felt the terrifying murderous intent approaching; a chill spread throughout his body. The endless killing intent within the purple energy left him with nowhere to escape.
It was precisely now that the man realized why Qiu Zhengfeng was called a sly old fox; this aura, this rolling tide of True Qi clearly told him Qiu Zhengfeng had already stepped into the Peak of Mid-stage Mythical. According to external rumors, due to old age and declining health, Qiu Zhengfeng’s power had always been confined to the Middle-stage Mythical, with no chance to reach the Great Perfection of Mid-stage in this lifetime.
This was one reason the man impulsively attacked Qiu Zhengfeng. With his nearing Great Perfection Middle-stage strength, carving a path from Qiu Zhengfeng’s grasp wasn’t hard; even if he couldn’t, he could capture Qiu Zhengfeng, forcing Lu Tianxing into a corner. But the man never dreamed Qiu Zhengfeng was at the Peak of Mid-stage Mythical, just one step shy of entering the Late Stage of Mythical.
In the Mythical Realm, each stage is another world; though Qiu Zhengfeng’s current strength was only one small stage above him, the difference between them was worlds apart.
"There’s no other way; I must fight."
The man gritted his teeth, a trace of resolution flashing across his face. He wasn’t a Death Soldier, where failing a mission meant opting for suicide. Now, he could only put everything into a final gamble, otherwise, he would surely die here.
Even ants struggle to survive; let alone him, a human.
"Kill!"
The man roared, grabbing with a large hand, Qi Force like a mountain, forming a tumultuous wave of force. The True Qi erupted from him, spreading in his palm, like waves crashing layer upon layer, overwhelmingly crushing toward Qiu Zhengfeng.
The move he employed was Tidal Palm, formed observing sea wave tides. Once performed, it surged continuously, each wave stronger than the last, quickly drowning the opponent.
"Hmph, you’re no match for me."
Watching the surging force, Qiu Zhengfeng’s face showed a disdainful smile. With a thought, Sword Qi instantly condensed, dropping down and slicing the tidal force.
"Splatter!"
The rolling tide instantly seemed like a piece of torn fabric, unraveling and dissipating without any trace.
"Die for me."
After breaking the opponent’s attack with one strike, Qiu Zhengfeng’s gaze carried a cold ruthless killing intent. Rolling purple energy transformed into an overwhelming murderous force, pounding toward the man to thoroughly eliminate him.
"Elder Qiu, he’s not a Death Soldier, don’t kill him; capture him alive." At that instant, Lu Tianxing who had been sitting silently on the bed, suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing, Qiu Zhengfeng paused. The purple energy instantly transformed into a massive hand, fiercely slapping toward the man.
"Crack!"
The hand landed directly on the man’s body. His True Qi was shattered in an instant, causing his whole form to spin like a top, flying and colliding heavily against the wall. Unable to control it, he spewed a mouthful of blood.
Whoosh!
Before the man hit the ground, Qiu Zhengfeng’s figure appeared beside him, striking the man’s Dantian and disabling him completely.
Then, Qiu Zhengfeng reached out, pinching the sides of the man’s mouth, preventing him from closing it. After carefully inspecting and ensuring there were no hidden poison pouches inside his teeth, he finally released him.
After being released by Qiu Zhengfeng, the man seemed to lose all strength, slumping weakly to the ground like a heap of mud. His eyes became vacant, and if not for the slight rise and fall of his chest, one might suspect he was dead.
