Chapter 31 Life and Death Line: Protecting Each Other with One's Body
There's always a story waiting for you to uncover.
"Uncle!!"
A piercing, desperate cry, yet filled with unwavering resolve, shattered the bloody silence above the mass grave like a sharp sword.
Yang Qian's pupils contracted to their maximum size in that instant!
That voice... it's my sister-in-law!
He turned around abruptly, his heart feeling as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, almost stopping its beating.
In the woods not far away, a slender figure, dressed in a plain white dress, whom he knew by heart, staggered out.
Her stunningly beautiful face was streaked with tears, filled with endless fear and worry.
But her eyes were so firm.
She spread her arms wide, like a brave yet incredibly fragile butterfly, and stood resolutely in front of Yang Qian, facing the golden-robed man who seemed like a god or demon descending to earth and the terrifying fist force that could destroy the world!
"No--!!!"
Yang Qian's mind went completely blank at that moment.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he let out the most shrill and frantic roar he had ever heard since he transmigrated to this world!
Why?!
Why is she here?!
Shouldn't she be staying comfortably in the manor, protected by everyone?!
Where's Qian Si?!
Where's Xiao Cui?!
Where are those damned guards?!
What are they good for?!
Countless emotions of anger, self-blame, fear, and regret instantly engulfed his reason like the most turbulent lava!
What was the purpose of all his scheming, all his plotting, and all his killing?
Isn't it all so that she can live a peaceful and comfortable life?
Isn't it all to keep her away from the bloodshed and cruelty of this world?
But now, the person he most wanted to protect was using her frail body to shield him, the one who should have been protecting her!
What could be more ironic, more heartbreaking than this?
Time seemed to slow down incredibly at that moment.
Yang Qian could clearly see that his sister-in-law's tear-streaked face showed no sign of backing down.
He could clearly see a hint of surprise and confusion flash across the man in the golden robe's dignified face.
He could see more clearly that the fist, covered in dark golden dragon scales and carrying destructive power, was getting closer and closer to his sister-in-law's frail body!
No! Absolutely not!
An unprecedented, crazy power originating from the depths of his soul erupted from Yang Qian's body!
Without a second thought, he used the last of his remaining strength to leap up from the ground and pounce on Qin Shuyu like a wounded beast.
"Sister-in-law, get out of the way!!"
He roared and reached out, trying to push her away.
However, it's too late.
The man in the golden robe's fist was already upon them.
He threw that punch at Yang Qian with the intent to kill him.
Qin Shuyu's sudden appearance caught him off guard, and he was slightly startled.
But who is he?
The Six Doors' Divine Constable, a top-tier Grandmaster-level expert!
His hands were stained with countless amounts of blood.
A seemingly frail woman suddenly appearing would not allow him to hold back in the slightest.
In his view, whoever dared to obstruct him would face only one fate.
--die!
However, just as his fist was about to touch Qin Shuyu's body, he suddenly felt an extremely pure, peaceful, and vibrant internal force surging out from Qin Shuyu's body.
Although the internal force was so weak as to be almost negligible, its high quality surprised even the man in the golden robe.
Changchun Gong!
It was the "Eternal Spring Skill" that Yang Qian personally passed on to Qin Shuyu!
Although Qin Shuyu had only just begun her training, she was exceptionally intelligent and single-minded. Furthermore, with Yang Qian sparing no effort to cleanse her meridians and marrow, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
At this moment, under the threat of life and death, the internal energy of the Everlasting Spring Technique within her body instinctively began to circulate automatically, forming a weak yet incredibly resilient protective aura in front of her!
"Um?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the golden-robed man's eyes once again.
This woman is actually a martial arts expert?
But that's all.
How dare the light of a firefly rival the brilliance of the moon?
He snorted coldly, his fist continuing its momentum without the slightest pause!
"Bang!"
A muffled thud.
The protective aura formed by the internal force of the "Eternal Spring Skill" in front of Qin Shuyu shattered instantly upon contact with the golden dragon fist, just like a bubble in the sunlight!
The terrifying force of the punch penetrated straight in!
They were about to blast her into a cloud of blood mist!
In that one ten-thousandth of a second!
Yang Qian has arrived!
He pulled Qin Shuyu into his arms with a speed that exceeded all limits!
Then he used his back to take the brunt of that earth-shattering punch head-on!
"boom--!!!"
The terrifying force of the punch landed squarely on Yang Qian's back!
"Snap! Snap!"
Yang Qian felt as if his spine had been struck hard by a giant hammer weighing ten thousand pounds!
The sound of bones shattering rang clearly in his ears!
"puff--!"
He could no longer hold back, and a mouthful of scalding blood gushed out, splattering across Qin Shuyu's cheeks and white dress, like beautiful red plum blossoms blooming in the snow.
"puff--!"
He could no longer hold back, and a mouthful of scalding blood gushed out, splattering across Qin Shuyu's cheeks and white dress, like beautiful red plum blossoms blooming in the snow.
He held Qin Shuyu's body and flew backwards again like a puppet with its strings cut.
This time it flew farther and crashed harder than last time!
"Uncle... Uncle..."
Qin Shuyu was stunned by this sudden scene.
She lay blankly in Yang Qian's arms, feeling his rapidly fading body temperature and his weakening heartbeat.
She reached out her trembling hand to touch Yang Qian's face, but only felt a patch of hot, sticky blood.
"No...don't..."
Her tears flowed uncontrollably, like beads from a broken string.
"Uncle, don't die... don't die... it's all my fault... it's all my fault..."
She wept bitterly.
She regretted it.
She really regretted it.
She shouldn't have come along.
She shouldn't have rushed out.
She thought she could help her uncle, but she never imagined that she was only hurting him!
"Cough...cough cough..."
Yang Qian coughed violently, and with each cough, a large mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth.
He felt as if his internal organs had been shattered, and his life force was rapidly draining away from his body.
He knew that this time he was really going to die.
Although that top-grade Xuan-level "Azure Blood Pill" is incredibly powerful, it can only be used once.
He is now completely exhausted.
With his last ounce of strength, he raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears and blood from Qin Shuyu's face.
A gentle yet incredibly weak smile appeared on his face.
"Silly...silly sister-in-law...don't cry..."
"You...you didn't do anything wrong..."
"I...I can die...in my sister-in-law's arms..."
"I...I'm so happy..."
His voice grew weaker and weaker, and his eyes began to glaze over.
He felt so tired and sleepy...
The man in the golden robe slowly walked over from a distance.
He looked at Yang Qian, who lay dying in a pool of blood, and the stunningly beautiful woman in his arms, weeping uncontrollably.
His dignified face remained expressionless, but a raging storm raged within him!
Yang Qian took that punch head-on and he's still alive?!
Although he only had half a breath left, it was enough to shock him!
What is this kid's body made of?!
And then there's his god-like martial arts...
The greed in the man in the golden robe's eyes intensified.
He walked step by step up to the two of them, looking down at them from his superior position.
"Kid, you're really tough."
He said coldly.
"But that's all for now."
