Defiant Martial God

Bam! The door of the cell was pushed open . Qin Wu, who sat on the floor with tangled hair, lifted his head with a snap . His initially blank eyes cast about a fleetingly sharp gaze, then became blank again . Holding a lunch box, Qin Zong walked in alone .

“Master,” the warden had greeted Qin Zong respectfully . The Qin family head had ordered the warden to open Qin Wu"s cell door and to stand guard outside while he went in . Qin Zong"s arrival seemed to have no effect on Qin Wu and his wife . Qin Wu"s wife continued to stare into s.p.a.ce and repeatedly call her son"s name, “Yu-er,” while Qin Wu looked indifferently at Qin Zong and remained silent .

Qin Zong didn"t speak either . He stepped forward and squatted in front on Qin Wu . Opening the lunch box, he took out a few plates of delicious dishes and wine . With wine and meat, it was a sumptuous spread .

“Is this my last meal?” Looking at the rich lunch, Qin Wu"s indifferent expression cracked slightly .

“Sigh…” Qin Zong exhaled deeply with resignation and guilt . “Qin Wu, you shouldn"t have acted rashly then . ” And, the man sighed once more .

“Hmph . ” Qin Wu smirked coldly . “Master, may I ask you a question? If your son had been killed by someone, could you remain calm?”

Qin Zong sighed again . “I understand how you feel, but you shouldn"t have offended the Elder . ”

“I never wanted to offend him in the beginning . But, Qin Chong killed my son and accused him of a malicious crime! You dare not punish him, and even the Elder sides with him! Isn"t it just because Qin Chong is the Elder"s illegitimate son?” Qin Wu said with hatred .

“Qin Wu, you…” Qin Zong wanted to stop Qin Wu, yet he could only sigh . “Qin Wu, Qin Chong being the Elder"s illegitimate son is taboo . If you say as much, how can he tolerate you?”

“So be it then . I"m just going to die right? That"s nice; our family can reunite in h.e.l.l,” said Qin Wu apathetically . In these many days, he"d long prepared for today .

“If I tell you that Qin Yu"s still alive, would you still think so?”

Qin Zong"s words stunned Qin Wu, and he trembled and widened his eyes . “What did you say? Yu-er is still alive?”

“Yes, he is . He is currently in the Battlefield of the Martial Compet.i.tion,” Qin Zong stated with certainty .

“You…you…you aren"t lying?” Qin Wu shook with agitation .

“I…” Qin Zong was about to say something when another loud bang came from outside . The door of the cell burst open, and a few men rushed in with deadly auras . Qin Chong led the way for Qin Biao and his men .

“Master, you"re here as well,” a little stunned, Qin Chong greeted Qin Zong . The family head rose and emotionlessly s.h.i.+fted his gaze over Qin Chong and his entourage . He knew why Qin Chong had come, but there was nothing much he could say .

“Their last meal, let them finish it,” he ordered with a gloomy face . Qin Chong"s gaze fell upon the meal set in front of Qin Wu and grinned sinisterly .

“ Sure, I"ll give Master the respect and allow them to finish this last feast . ”

Qin Zong nodded and s.h.i.+fted his helpless gaze to Qin Wu again . “Qin Wu, eat properly for now . I"ll take my leave,” his deep voice resounded . He turned away and left immediately as he could no longer stay in Qin Chong"s presence .

Seeing that Qin Zong had left, Qin Chong"s gaze hardened as he spoke to Qin Biao beside him . “Qin Biao, how much time do we have left?”

Qin Biao understood and stepped forward to answer, “Second Uncle, time is up . ”

“It seems like we don"t have long to wait . The dishes aren"t finished, so you should help him,” ordered Qin Chong .

“Yes . ” Qin Biao approached Qin Yu"s parents with a twisted smile, and he picked up the dish from the floor . In a flash, the dish was dumped over Qin Wu"s head . Strands of meat and vegetables stuck to Qin Wu"s messy hair, and the grease flowed down onto his forehead and face . But, it was not over yet: Qin Biao opened the bottle of wine and, with a mad grin, he poured the wine all over Qin Wu"s head . Qin Wu quietly tolerated Qin Biao"s humiliation with a numb look .

“Hahaha! A cripple indeed! Absolutely useless!” Once he"d poured out the wine, Qin Biao threw the bottle to the floor . “Second Uncle, the food is finished . ”

“Fine, take them away,” Qin Chong coldly commanded .

“Yes . ” The men ferociously dashed forward, yanked up Qin Wu and his wife, then dragged them outside .

Within the Illusory Battlefield, Qin Yu had killed another hunter and absorbed all of his fireflies . Today was the tenth day since Qin Yu had entered the Battlefield . Within this time, he had killed a total of ten hunters; and, on average, killing a hunter everyday could be regarded as insane . He"d killed a tenth of the hundred hunters .

As the main perpetrator, Prince Qi"s heart ached and suffered each blow . Other than the ten killed by Qin Yu, there were still more hunters killed by others . In ten days, many more had died . At this rate, after three months, there would be significantly few left of the hundred the Prince had painstakingly groomed . Only now did he realize that he had underestimated the abilities of the partic.i.p.ants of the Martial Compet.i.tion . And, the man who had created the array still could not be found . Prince Qi could only watch as bodies fell, one by one, from the Slaughter Array .

Qin Yu couldn"t care less how Prince Qi felt . For now, the young cultivator was hunting isolated hunters . After he killed them, he s.n.a.t.c.hed up their fireflies and found a place to refine them . The hunters had killed many, so he had plenty of fireflies; but, with his current ability, it was difficult for him to refine such a large number of fireflies in a timely manner . Qin Yu could only borrow the refining abilities of the Earth Spirit Pearl . The pearl would then take some energy for itself and return the rest to Qin Yu to be absorbed . Upon receiving the refined energy, the energy in Qin Yu"s meridians would surge and batter the wall between the Origin and Immersion Realms . A few times, he"d almost broken through; yet, he suppressed it . Qin Yu planned to absorb one last wave of refined energy to stabilize his foundation before he broke into the next Realm .

“Leave the fireflies you now hold, and I"ll spare your life!” Qin Yu was about to soak up all of the fireflies he"d just gained and find a place to refine them when a cold and dominating voice burrowed into his ear . His gaze sharpened, and he looked toward a nearby forest .

A dark figure walked out of the trees . The man was clad in black and looked oppressive . Approaching, he released an overbearing aura and gripped a black knife . The weapon was sheathed, but one could feel how cold and sharp it was . Qin Yu knew this man . He had seen him in the arena in Luosang City; one of the four selected players, this man was Mo Badao of Modao Hall .

Mo Badao drew closer with his black irises fixated on Qin Yu . Mo Badao"s eyes released a demonic aura . He was from Modao Hall indeed . Qin Yu stared back at him with an equally icy gaze .

“You know about the fireflies?” Qin Yu thought only he knew of the supposed fireflies and never expected Mo Badao to know of them as well . Thus, there was a high chance that Mo Badao also had killed a hunter . Those who could kill the hunters were definitely strong .

“If you could know, why can"t I?” Mo Badao asked with arrogance, as if he was born to a higher status than others . “I will repeat myself one last time: Leave the fireflies, and I"ll spare your life . ”

“Hmph . ” The corner of Qin Yu"s mouth twisted in disdain . “You want the fireflies? If you"re strong enough, s.n.a.t.c.h them from someone else!”

“Be it from you or others, I"ll take them anyway . Why should I let you go?”

“Erm…” Qin Yu paused for a moment . This logic seemed to make sense . Yet, a strange smile emerged on his face . “Good, but are you sure that you want to steal from me?”

“I"ve given you a final chance; you didn"t cherish it . Now, not only your fireflies, but I"ll take your life as well . ” Mo Badao released a strong, murderous aura .

“Is my life something which you can take so casually? Blood Saber, kill!” Qin Yu went ballistic and attacked first with his saber, drawing a blood-colored streak across the sky as he slashed toward Mo Badao .

“A mere ant in the Origin Realm, you dare have the guts to be so arrogant in front of me?! Die!” The demonic aura from Mo Badao erupted toward the sky . Without unsheathing his sword, he thrust it forward to block Qin Yu"s saber . He wouldn"t even bother to unsheathe his sword for an Origin Realm cultivator .

Ding! A piercing sound resounded when the two swords met . Fiery sparks jumped in all directions, and the two men both retreated a few steps from the impact .

“Huh?” Mo Badao had never expected himself to be pushed back . A numb and sore feeling came from his arm . At the point of contact of the two swords, the sheath of his sword had been cut through, and the black blade inside was exposed . “So strong?” Mo Badao was a little shocked .

In the meantime, Qin Yu attacked again . This was Qin Yu"s style . Once he attacked, he would use the greatest speed to continuously hammer at his enemy . His defense was to attack and gain the upperhand . “Blood Waves Das.h.i.+ng to the Skies, kill!” Qin Yu"s Blood Saber danced in his hands, and the sword qi that emerged became crimson waves that flooded forth in an attack .

Mo Badao"s facial expression changed, and he no longer dared to act arrogantly . His Demonic Sword unsheathed, its demonic qi was dense and its aura overbearing . The pair morphed into black sword qi waves, and they rolled and expanded in attack . Boom boom! Crack crack! The red and black waves collided . The battle emitted growling noises and the clatter of blades shattering .

“A Thousand Blood Shadows, kill kill kill!” Qin Yu"s murderous aura rushed upward, and a b.l.o.o.d.y curtain swallowed the sky above . Thousands and hundreds of blades fell from the illusion and crashed down in a mad fas.h.i.+on . As Qin Yu had refined a lot of fireflies, this move was much more stronger than in the past .

A terrified expression formed on Mo Badao"s face . He knew he"d made a terrible mistake, underestimating Qin Yu"s abilities . Was this a mere ant of the Origin Realm? d.a.m.n, even a cultivator in the Immersion Realm may not measure up to how strong he was! “Hou!” Mo Badao growled demonically from deep within his chest . He was going all out, and his Demonic Blade released its strongest attack .

“The Demon Kills All!”

Bam! The door of the cell was pushed open . Qin Wu, who sat on the floor with tangled hair, lifted his head with a snap . His initially blank eyes cast about a fleetingly sharp gaze, then became blank again . Holding a lunch box, Qin Zong walked in alone . “Master,” the warden had greeted Qin Zong respectfully .
