Chapter 39: Unrelenting Until Death, Seeking Collection

  It turned out that at the critical moment, Xue let go and directly grabbed the flying sword of the thin black-clothed man. Otherwise, Du Feiyun would have been stabbed through the chest by the flying sword.

  The flying sword was firmly grasped in Xue Reng's hand, and the slender young man was suddenly shocked. He repeatedly manipulated the flying sword with his mind, intending to escape control, but he couldn't succeed, and instead, his shaken mind wavered.

  Now, Du Fei Yun has killed the ninth junior with one strike of the Nine Dragon Cauldron, forcing the leader, Sixth Senior Brother, to retreat. The thin black-clad man was also caught by Xue Rang and couldn't move his flying sword. Du Fei Yun finally escaped danger.

  Next, with Xue Rang's expert presence, the two black-clad men were unable to succeed, and Du Feiyun's family was safe. Thinking of this, Du Feiyun let out a slight sigh of relief in his heart.

  If Xue didn't lend a hand tonight, he would probably have died on the spot, and it would be difficult for his mother and sister to escape as well.

  However, the black-clad man who dodged to one side did not escape, but instead held a long sword in both hands and leapt forward with a gleaming blade over three feet long, slashing down towards Du Fei Yun's head.

  "Du Feiyun, you're courting death!" The black-clad man was furious, his angry roar carrying a boundless fury, his eyes almost entirely red.

  He originally wanted to sneak up and kill Du Feiyun's family, but unexpectedly someone intervened and ruined his revenge, even his ninth junior brother was killed by Du Feiyun. In this way, he not only failed to avenge himself but also suffered heavy losses, how could he not be furious and enraged?

  "Big brother, I'm here to help you!" The thin man saw Big Brother launch an attack and abandoned his flying sword. Between his hands, a cyan light burst out, condensing into a pair of cyan fist shadows that smashed down on Du Feiyun's back.

  "Du Feiyun, go die!"

  Neither Du Fei Yun nor Xue Rang had expected that when the two black-clad men fell into a disadvantage, they would not think of escaping, but instead turned around and counterattacked. Looking at their stance, it seemed as if they were determined to fight to the death, even if they suffered severe injuries, they still wanted to kill Du Fei Yun here.

  As for the cruelty of the two men in black, Xue Rang was also slightly shocked in his heart and couldn't help but sigh secretly that there must be a deep blood feud hidden between them.

  However, Du Feiyun was not concerned about this issue at the moment. When the thin boy shouted out, he felt that the tone of voice was very familiar, and after a slight recollection in his heart, he suddenly remembered that this thin boy was actually Qin Shouzheng, the genius young master of the Qin family!

  It turned out that the black-clad man who led the way was Qin Shouzheng's elder brother, Qin Shounan.

  He didn't expect that Qin Shouzheng, who was injured by him on the arena, had already recovered from his injuries and even benefited from the disaster to reach the Refining Qi stage. What he didn't expect even more was that Qin Wannian's eldest son, Qin Shounan, actually appeared here as well, with a strength that reached the late Refining Qi stage!

  In an instant, Du Feiyun confirmed the other's identity in his heart and it wasn't hard to think why the two were fighting each other to the death. However, he had exhausted all his internal energy and could no longer put up a fight, nor could he dodge Qin Shou Nang and Qin Shou Zheng's pincer attack.

  Qin Shou Nan held a several-foot-long sword with both hands, as if splitting mountains and rivers, chopping down towards Du Fei Yun's head. The sword energy was fierce and the sword light was extremely sharp, tearing through the air.

  Qin Shouzheng's fists shone brightly as he charged towards Du Feiyun's chest with a loud whooshing sound, his momentum like that of a fierce tiger.

  Watching, Du Feiyun instinctively retreated backwards, but far from keeping up with the speed of the sword light and fist shadows, the next moment he would be lying dead on the spot.

  Seeing Du Feiyun's weakness, he was unable to withstand the joint attack of the two. Xue Jian's eyes narrowed slightly. His foot stepped forward half a step, his right hand flipped over, manipulating the cyan flying sword to burst out with dazzling cyan sword shadows, attacking Qin Shou Nan, and in an instant, dozens of swords were stabbed out.

  At the same time, his left hand transformed into a huge palm and swiftly grabbed Qin Shouzheng's arm like lightning.

  Xue Rang saw that Du Feiyun had exhausted his strength, so at this moment he resolutely launched a double attack, replacing Du Feiyun to block the Qin family's two brothers' offensive.

  Qin Shou Nan's golden giant sword in his hands fiercely chopped onto a layer of cyan sword shadow, instantly producing a loud clanging explosion. The layered and stacked cyan sword lights were instantly chopped to pieces, splashing out like raindrops.

  However, his sword's momentum was also reduced by more than half, and when he finally struck Xue Rang's cyan flying sword, he was knocked back by the enormous counterforce.

  Although Qin Shou Nan's attack was put down and repelled, Xue Rang's cyan flying sword also flew out weakly and fell to the ground near the courtyard wall. His spirit was also shaken, and he let out a low hum, with a thread of fresh blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

  Xue Rang's left hand never stopped, and in an instant, it broke through several feet of distance, grabbing Qin Shouzheng's right wrist with a loud crack, then pulling him towards himself, his right foot flashing out like lightning.

  At this moment, Du Feiyun, who had been retreating all the way, suddenly moved. He stared at Qin Shouzheng's right shoulder with his eyes wide open and let out a low shout.

  "Nine Dragon Cauldron, go!"

  The nine-dragon tripod that had been stationary on the ground suddenly transformed into a three-foot square and flew up, bringing with it a flash of black light, and in the blink of an eye it rushed to Qin Shouzheng's side.

  At this time, Qin Shouzheng's right wrist was pulled by Xue Rang, and he rushed forward involuntarily. The nine-dragon cauldron, which was as big as a millstone, was rushing straight towards his right shoulder. If he couldn't dodge, he would inevitably be smashed into a meat pie by the extremely heavy nine-dragon cauldron.

  At this moment, Qin Shou Nang's body was still in mid-air, flying backwards with his eyes wide open and his face filled with furious anger. He watched helplessly as Qin Shou Zheng was struck by the Nine Dragon Cauldron, unable to do anything.

  "Crack!" A crisp sound rang out in the small courtyard, clear and audible.

  Although Qin Shouzheng sensed something was amiss, in his great shock he exploded all his yuan power to try and break free from Xue Yang's big hand, but the Nine Dragons Cauldron still directly smashed into his right arm.

  Fortunately, in this brief moment he stepped aside half a step, otherwise he would have been hit by the Nine Dragon Cauldron and smashed into a meat pie.

  Unfortunately, the Nine Dragon Cauldron came crashing down with great force, bringing a whistling sound as it struck his right arm. His right shoulder suffered a massive pull, instantly shattering and breaking apart, the sound of bones snapping and joints dislocating ringing out, blood gushing out in an instant.

  "Ah!" Qin Shouzheng suddenly broke free from Xue Rang's grasp, his entire right arm was torn off by Xue Rang. He stumbled and fell to one side, his left hand covering the shoulder that was spurting blood, his mouth open in a scream of pain, the sound heart-wrenching and agonizing, causing Qin Shou Nan's eyes to turn red instantly.

  Jiulongding collapsed weakly in the small courtyard, Du Feiyun used up the last bit of yuan force extracted from his body and also fell to the ground with a tilt. Only Xue Rang stood beside Du Feiyun, holding a hand that was still spurting fresh blood with his left hand, his face slightly pale.

  Qin Shou's face was twisted, his forehead and back were covered in cold sweat, his muscles convulsed violently, and a sharp pain shot through his shoulders, almost making him faint. His body crashed to the ground, rolling around, and his throat still let out indistinct cries of pain.

  Qin Shou Nan finally stopped and retreated, his feet touching the courtyard wall for a moment before he quickly fell to Qin Shou Zheng's side. He saw that his right hand had two fingers together, conjuring up a ray of light that touched several points on Qin Shou Zheng's shoulder and chest, after which he swept him up in his arms and leapt onto the courtyard wall.

  After jumping over the wall, Qin Shou Nan held the seriously injured Qin Shou Zheng and turned back, his eyes staring at Du Fei Yun in the courtyard with a fierce red glare. Gnashing his teeth, he spoke word by word: "Du Fei Yun, I, Qin Shou Nan, will definitely make you suffer a thousand cuts and ten thousand slashes for the rest of my life!"

  A gentle night breeze blew by, bringing a strong bloody smell into everyone's noses. Qin Shou Nang's black face cloth had long since fallen off, and his face was now twisted in boundless rage and murderous intent.

  He glared fiercely at Du Feiyun and Xue Rang, firmly etching their faces and figures into his memory. Then, without looking back, he rushed outwards, quickly disappearing into the darkness.

  Xue Rang gazed in the direction where Qin Shou Nan had disappeared, his eyes filled with complex emotions, lost in thought. Beside him, Du Fei Yun lay weakly on the ground, looking towards the direction where Qin Shou Nan had escaped, a hint of regret on his face.

  Indeed, he was somewhat regretful that he hadn't killed Qin Shou Nang and Qin Shou Zheng tonight as well.

  The Qin family and he had a deep-seated vendetta, and Qin Shou Nian's strength far surpassed his own. Such an enemy living for one more day would pose a threat to his life and that of his loved ones; how could he be at peace?

  However, he is now powerless and cannot keep the two Qin brothers. If Xue Rang takes action, there may be a chance to keep the two brothers. But since Xue Rang has already helped him save his family's life, he is already grateful beyond words, how can he expect Xue Rang to help him take revenge on his enemies?

  "Xue big brother, how long do you plan on carrying that arm?" After a moment, Du Feiyun regained some of his strength and smiled as he looked at Xue Rang, who was lost in thought.

  "Fei Yun Xiao Zi, you should change places now." Xue Rang however did not respond to Du Fei Yun's teasing, his eyes deeply gazing at him.

  Of course, while saying this, he also threw his arm into the corner of the wall.
