Chapter Fifty-Seven: Blood Debt Repaid in Blood

  Jiang Nian didn't notice the expression of a person who was destined to be killed by himself, but Ye Qi Heng felt it. He sneered and glanced at Qin Huai with a very small ice cone in his hand, which was inserted directly into Qin Huai's heart without anyone noticing.

  On this side, Jiang Nian also took action. In fact, this kind of fighting was not necessary, but when she thought about the dragon's feces all over her body, she couldn't help but get angry. Adding to that were the provocations from the guards, and she directly took action. She wasn't someone who often took action in the past; usually, if she wanted to do something bad, she would use her brain, borrowing other people's hands and knives. It was rare for her to personally engage in such unrefined group fights.

  But... the feeling of knocking down so many people is actually quite good. She felt a little pleased with herself, and exchanged a glance with Ye Qi, indicating that they had done enough and could leave now.

  Qin Huai did not expect these two people to be so formidable at such a young age, and he had brought so many guards but still couldn't stop them. He looked at the two of them, who didn't take him seriously, patted their buttocks and were about to leave, suddenly feeling a surge of anger, took out a strange bottle from the inner layer of his clothes, whispered to a guard to come back, handed it to him, and told him to sprinkle it on Jiang Nian and Ye Qi's bodies. The guard nodded, then quickly turned around and came back.

  Jiang Nian happened to see the man return, and with one lash of his whip, he sent the man tumbling to the ground. The man lost his balance, and the things in his hand slipped out, revealing a grey powder that sparkled in the light. The bottle shattered on the ground, first cracking open and then being trampled by another person in the chaos, shattering completely.

  "Go." Ye Qian's tone was somewhat urgent, grabbing Jiang Nian's collar and pulling him up to the eaves of the house, putting a great distance between them.

  The residents of the Seventh City were accustomed to Qin Huai's arrogant and overbearing behavior, and whenever conflicts arose with outsiders, they would consciously return home and wait for them to finish fighting before resuming business. As a result, at this time, only Qin Huai and his guards remained on the entire street.

  Jiang Nian endured the numbness spreading across his scalp, turning his head away. Ye Qi very considerately wrapped her hand around Jiang Nian's head and pressed it against her shoulder, saying softly: "It's okay, just a little while longer, then we can leave."

  Jiang Nian's eyes were slightly red at the corners, but she was very determined. She looked out at the distant buildings from her high vantage point, then closed her eyes. Life is too precious, and in a place where the law is not well-established, one can only rely on oneself to protect oneself.

  The powder in Qin Huai's hand was obtained by his father with great difficulty from the late alchemist Bai Chuan Dashi, originally intended for Qin Huai to keep as a lifesaver. After all, he is the only one left in the family. However, Qin Huai had never been bullied since childhood and couldn't stand it when Jiang Nian provoked him, so he used this lifesaving thing.

  That guard didn't know the purpose of this thing, otherwise he wouldn't be so careless. He would have protected that bottle with his life. So the bottle wasn't held steady and was thrown out.

  The powder scattered out and encountered the outside air and humid environment, immediately melting into even finer powder drifting away with the wind. The clothes on everyone's bodies on the street were all contaminated. This life-saving medicine was extremely overbearing, and in just a few breaths, everyone had melted into a puddle of dead water, emitting a strong stench. These fine dust particles were invisible and moved quickly, probably even the self-defense mechanism of the Qingmang Phantom couldn't withstand it. Qin Mu originally intended to use it to help his son escape, but he didn't expect his son to use it so soon, and it ended up harming their own top-notch guards.

  Qin Huai was so frightened that his legs went soft, and a large suspicious stain suddenly appeared on his pants. He dropped the almost melted guard and ran away with his tail between his legs. Jiang Nian raised an eyebrow in disdain, ready to deliver the final blow, but just then Qin Huai slowly fell to the ground, clutching his chest, and didn't move again.

  Jiang Nian felt a bit strange and wanted to go up to take a look, but was pulled back by Ye Qiwen, who said: "This place is not suitable for staying for long, let's leave first. These corrosive powders will automatically disappear due to prolonged exposure to the air."

  ……。

  ……。

  Qin Mansion

  Qin Lian's entire body was trembling, his eyes were wide open as if he would faint at any moment, beside him were the woman's wailing and the guards' heavy breathing.

  He felt like he couldn't hear anything anymore, only seeing Qin Huai's shattered soul plate, his eyes were about to split.

  After a long time, he slowly regained his breath and said harshly to the crying woman: "Stop crying! What's the use of crying? My son is not coming back!"

  He saw that the woman had stopped crying, and then ordered again: "Issue a wanted order to each mercenary group, regardless of life or death. Also, bring some people with horses to find my brother, the lord of the first city. I want those two people to pay for their lives!"
