Chapter 26: Surround and Intercept

  A surge of energy burst forth, unleashing waves of invisible shockwaves that shattered the surrounding bricks, stones and wood into powder, sending dust flying everywhere.

  Qin Wannian and Liu Xiangtian, the two figures rose and fell like rabbits, intersecting in the rolling smoke and dust, fists and feet flying back and forth, with light and shadow shooting out in all directions.

  Another clash, the icy blue palm of Liu Xiang Tian collided fiercely with the golden fist shadow of Liu Xiang Tian, producing a deafening roar. Afterwards, both were shaken off and retreated several steps before stabilizing their figures.

  At this moment, Qin Wannian's face was filled with anger and his eyes were cold as he suddenly let out a low shout, his hands flat on his chest, palms facing each other, emitting a brilliant light.

  A clear and sharp humming sound rose, a swift and fierce sword light suddenly lit up, and a small sword as long as a finger appeared in front of Qin Wannian.

  A small sword the size of a finger swelled in the wind and became a three-foot green blade in an instant, with a chilling light that was intimidating.

  Qin Wannian's left hand grasped the sword hilt, his right hand drew a curved line of light, and he shouted: "Qingpingsword, go!"

  Three feet of blue light suddenly leveled off, spitting out a golden sword tip over a foot long, and with a sudden whoosh, it shot towards the chest of the willow tree.

  "Bastard, you actually went all out?"

  Seeing that treasure sword coming straight at him, Liu Xiang Tian's face changed color, his body continuously retreating and dodging while not forgetting to curse Qin Wannian.

  "You're blocking my way and won't let me go catch that bastard Du Fei Yun to avenge my son, so I won't be polite to you!"

  At this time, Qin Wannian was already furious, with a fierce killing intent, and whether it was his words or swordsmanship, they were extremely sharp.

  "Although Du Feiyun's hands were a bit heavy, in the arena, fists and feet are blind..."

  Liu Xiangtian subconsciously dodged the flying sword that was thrust straight at him, while opening his mouth to defend Du Feiyun, but before he could even get a word out, he was interrupted by Qin Wannian.

  "Bullshit! I'm not talking about being upright, but about upholding justice!" Qin Wan Nian's face was as dark as water, his eyes were bloodshot, and he almost burst into a rage.

  "Halt! Halt! Halt!!" Liu Xiangtian's internal energy burst forth, and in three leaps he had already traversed over a dozen zhangs, barely avoiding the extremely sharp flying sword. He hastily waved his hand to call for a stop.

  "What's going on? Tell me clearly, how did Du Feiyun offend Qin Shouyi, that you're so furious?"

  Seeing Qin Wan Nian's murderous aura, Liu Xiang Tian also sensed that something was off and hastily opened his mouth to ask.

  For over a decade, he and Qin Wannian had been at odds with each other, the two having clashed on numerous occasions. However, in the past, their conflicts were merely a matter of pride and did not involve deep-seated hatred or violence.

  It was rare to see Qin Wan Nian so furious, even taking out the precious flying sword that was as valuable as his life, and Liu Xiang Tian immediately sensed that something was amiss.

  Seeing that Liu was no longer blocking his way, Qin Wan Nian also gave up and recalled the flying sword. He turned around to continue searching for Du Fei Yun's trail and explained at the same time: "My son, Shou Yi, was thrown off a cliff by Du Fei Yun on Mount Langya a month ago. If it weren't for my son's good fortune, he would have died already. Now, my son has countless fractures all over his body and is paralyzed in bed, unable to move. How can I let that little bastard off lightly?"

  When Qin Wannian said this, Liu Xiangtian suddenly understood and realized why he was so furious, his heart also sank to the bottom of the valley.

  He was very clear that with Qin Wannian's violent temper, something like this would happen, and he would definitely kill Du Feiyun to avenge his son.

  Whether to see the truth and progress of things, or to protect Du Feiyun, Liu Xiangtian did not dare to let Qin Wannian make trouble, so he quickly followed up closely behind Qin Wannian.

  Qin Wannian searched for a moment in the crowd but still couldn't find any trace of Du Feiyun, so he hastily rushed towards the Du residence. He sped along with an air of killing intent, causing passersby to dodge out of the way, fearing they would get caught up in the crossfire.

  The Dou family's house was still wide open, and as expected, there was no one inside.

  Qin Wan Nian arrived at the Du residence and saw that Du Fei Yun was not there. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly revealed a ruthless smile, then turned around and headed back to the Qin residence.

  He must have guessed it, Du Feiyun must have learned that his mother and sister were captured, now he should be on his way to the Qin family to rescue them.

  In this way, Du Feiyun is caught in his own trap!

  Qin Wan Nian returned to the Qin family, and Liu Xiang Tian followed him without hesitation. He wanted to ensure Du Fei Yun's safety, so that he wouldn't be killed by Qin Wan Nian in his rage.

  For now, he had no choice but to find Du Feiyun first and then ensure his safety before acting as a mediator to resolve the feud.

  However, a moment later, when the two stepped into the Qin family courtyard, they only saw that everything was in disarray. Qin Wannian's face changed drastically, and after being stunned for a moment, he rushed towards the backyard.

  Liu Xiangtian's eyes scanned the surroundings, seeing the chaos around him and several bodies of the guards scattered on the ground. His heart suddenly became worried. He had already anticipated that this time Du Feiyun would cause big trouble!

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, a moment later, a thunderous roar of anger came from the backyard. The angry shout shook the sky and was heard several miles away, with its fierce rage and killing intent making everyone who heard it feel shocked in their hearts.

  "Ah! Du Fei Yun, I swear to kill you!!!"

  Liu Xiangtian flashed out ten zhang away, quickly rushing to the backyard and entering the house. As soon as he stepped into the house, a strong bloody smell assailed his nostrils.

  Upon closer inspection, there were five corpses in the room. One was Qin Er and four were house servants. As for the young man lying on the bed, it was Qin Shouyi, who had also stopped breathing.

  "It's all over!" Liu Xiangtian's face suddenly changed, and he secretly thought that things were going badly. From now on, he was powerless and didn't dare to think about saving Du Feiyun anymore.

  After all, whoever it was who killed his son would be an eternal and irreconcilable blood feud.

  Now all he can do is pray in his heart for Du Feiyun, hoping that he will quickly escape from Baishi Town and at least not be torn to pieces by Qin Wannian.

  Qin Wan's body trembled violently, his eyes turned blood red like a ferocious beast, clearly he had reached the peak of anger. The hatred for killing his son would not be shared under the same sky, now he only had one thought in mind, that was to brutally slaughter Du Feiyun and his family, to avenge his poor dead son!

  His face was cold and stern, he walked out of the room without saying a word, heading towards the front yard.

  Helpless, Liu Xiangtian also didn't continue to stay in the house and hurriedly followed behind Qin Wannian. He wanted to open his mouth to persuade him, but thinking of Qin Wannian's temperament and seeing his current appearance, he ultimately chose to remain silent.

  "Master, Master!" A wounded leader of the guards, covering his freshly bandaged shoulder, limped forward to Qin Wan Nian and said in a trembling voice: "Master, just now a young man broke into the Qin Manor. Our dozens of brothers were unable to take him down, but instead he killed over ten of our brothers. We failed in our duty, please punish us, Master!"

  The leader of the guards bowed his head and trembled with fear, wondering how Qin Wan would punish him. In fact, he had no idea what had happened in the last courtyard, nor did he know that the master standing before him had just lost his son.

  Qin Wan Nian slowly turned his head, his eyes fixed on the leader of the guards like a sword, and then without warning, he raised his right hand and slapped the guard leader's face.

  The leader of the guards was caught off guard with his head down, and before he knew it, he was slapped, feeling a surge of immense force. His eyes turned black as he flew backward, tumbling two zhang away before crashing to the ground. As soon as his mouth opened, a mixture of white teeth and bloody water spewed out.

  "Gather all the hands at Qin's mansion and seal off all the exits of Baishi Town. No matter what, I want you to find Du Feiyun and his family in Baishi Town for me!"

  Qin Wannian's fists were clenched and hung at his sides, his eyes gazing out into the distance with a gloomy intensity as he spoke these words in a low, heavy tone.

  The leader of the guards had already collapsed on one side of his face, and he was dizzy in his mind. After struggling for a long time on the ground, he finally managed to get up with difficulty, bowed his head in response, and then stumbled forward to gather people.

  Just then, the door of a room next door opened, and a middle-aged couple wearing coarse linen clothes slipped out, looking around nervously. The two had originally planned to sneak away quietly, but they had already been spotted by Qin Wannian, so they stopped in their tracks, shrinking back in fear.

  "Who are you?" Qin Wannian's voice was extremely low and cold, like a forest of icy trees.

  Seeing Qin Wannian's expression, the middle-aged couple sensed something was amiss and retreated in fear, stuttering: "We are fishermen from Lancang Town, we just sent Young Master Qin back..."

  Before the words had fallen, Qin Wannian opened his mouth with an inexplicable smile on his face: "In this month's time, you have taken good care of Shouyi, I am very grateful to you."

  "Ah? Thank you, sir, for the compliment. Can we leave now?" The middle-aged woman was still thinking about what rewards the Qin family could give them and was about to speak when she was pulled away by the middle-aged man, who then bowed and smiled apologetically to bid farewell to Qin Wan Nian.

  The woman may have felt a bit resentful, thinking that she and her husband had traveled hundreds of miles to send someone back, but got nothing in return. However, the middle-aged man had already sensed the awkward atmosphere and pulled his wife away, preparing to leave.

  "Don't rush off, I want to reward you properly!" Qin Wannian walked towards the two with a smile on his face, looking extremely pleased.

  "What? Really? That's great......" The woman's face suddenly changed to surprise and delight, with a golden light in her eyes.

  Who would have thought that at that moment, Qin Wannian's body suddenly accelerated, and in an instant, he brought a gust of wind to the front of the two people, his palms slapping out instantly, and two golden palm shadows burst forth.

  "Bang!" Two muffled sounds rang out almost simultaneously, Qin Wannian's palms firmly slapped the chests of the two people, instantly sending them flying, their bodies crashing into the wall like sacks before weakly falling to the ground.

  The middle-aged couple's bodies thudded to the ground, their mouths constantly spewing out fresh blood, their bodies convulsed a few times before closing their eyes, and there was no sound anymore.
