Inside the Tang Family.
Reports piled up like a small mountain on the table, and Tang Zhentian's eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
"Reporting to the Family Head, after calculation, our properties in Qingyang City suffered losses of up to one-third overnight, and casualties numbered in the hundreds," the Second Elder said, standing by his side.
"Damn it, damn it!" Tang Zhentian gritted his teeth.
"Crack!"
A priceless vase was smashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.
"Family Head, according to the spy we arranged in the Wang Family, this child is named Qin BuYi, his origin is unknown, and his background is unknown. It's as if he appeared out of thin air."
Tang Zhentian muttered, "Qin BuYi, Qin BuYi..."
In the main streets and alleys of Qingyang City, from elderly people nearing their end to women and children on the street, everyone was discussing one thing.
"Last night, nearly one-third of the Tang Family's assets, such as brothels, casinos, and pawn shops, were burned down overnight."
"It seems the Tang Family has provoked some important figure this time, otherwise, how could they be retaliated against so severely?"
"Important figure? I don't think so. It's said that the incident started when a young man killed Young Master Liu of the Tang Family in a restaurant."
"The Tang Family sent people to besiege and kill this person last night. You didn't see the scene; even Fifth Master Tang was killed."
"Passing by that street this morning, you could still smell a strong scent of blood."
...
Inside the Wang Family.
Wang Zong looked at the intelligence on the table for a long time without speaking, then finally forced a bitter smile: "This kid is too good at causing trouble. By stopping Tang Zhentian yesterday, I've really offended the Tang Family badly."
After causing the destruction, Qin BuYi had already left Qingyang City and returned to the Falling Star Mountain Range before dawn.
The Tang Family has been operating and accumulating for so many years; to severely harm them and still remain in Qingyang City would simply be courting death.
After eating some food quickly, Qin BuYi waited, squatting on the only path leading into the Falling Star Mountain Range.
He waited until the afternoon when three figures appeared in his sight.
Using his Heavenly Eye, he learned that two were Golden Core Late Stage, and one was Golden Core Perfection.
Each of those two Golden Core Late Stage cultivators was much stronger than Fifth Master Tang.
After killing Fifth Master Tang and Fifth Master Tang, he gained a total of ten attribute points.
Qin BuYi, whose strength had greatly increased, was now fully confident in fighting one against three without losing, but it would be very difficult to slay them.
A combat plan gradually formed in his mind...
Qin BuYi held his breath, the Killing Blade in his hand, quietly waiting for the three to approach.
"Third Brother, according to the spy, that kid escaped into the Falling Star Mountain Range."
The one-eyed Fourth Master Tang said to Third Master Tang, who only had one right arm, beside him.
Third Master Tang replied, "That kid sure knows how to run. It's a pain for us three brothers to have to make this trip."
Seventh Master Tang, walking at the very back of the three, said with his eyes slightly closed:
"Be careful, there's something strange about that kid. I checked Fifth Brother's body."
"Moreover, from the traces of the fight at the scene, that kid's weapon is definitely extraordinary."
"His strength, speed, stamina, etc., are all outstanding. With an enemy like this, a moment of carelessness could lead to a disastrous defeat."
Fourth Master Tang pouted, saying with a look of indifference, "Seventh Brother, it's not as serious as you make it sound. What kind of trouble can a mere Golden Core Early-Stage cultivator cause?"
"Exactly, exactly," Third Master Tang echoed from the side.
"Fourth Brother, have you forgotten how your eye went blind? Third Brother, do you still remember how your arm was broken?"
Seventh Master Tang said, somewhat displeased with their nonchalant attitude.
Third Master Tang and Fourth Master Tang, whose old wounds were uncovered, recalled the past...
Although their expressions became more serious, their inner attitudes remained unchanged. Seventh Master Tang shook his head and stopped speaking.
Qin BuYi watched as the three got closer and closer to his Attack range, silently counting in his mind:
"Three."
"Two."
"One."
"Clang!"
"Fourth Brother, look out!"
"Fourth Brother, look out!"
Third Master Tang and Seventh Master Tang shouted simultaneously.
"Killing Blade Technique · Slaughter!"
The blade of the Killing Blade revealed a hint of green under the sunlight, vibrating at high speed as it slashed towards Fourth Master Tang, the weakest of the three.
In his haste, Fourth Master Tang didn't have time to draw his weapon.
He did a somersault on the spot, avoiding a vital spot, but the Killing Blade's edge still cut into Fourth Master Tang's back.
"Hiss!"
A bone-deep wound appeared on his back.
After hitting with one strike, Qin BuYi turned and ran towards the Falling Star Mountain Range.
"You little bastard, stop!" Third Master Tang roared in anger.
"Fourth Brother, how are you?" Seventh Master Tang asked.
"Haha. It's nothing, no big deal. How much trouble can a mosquito bite cause?" Fourth Master Tang said, feigning composure despite the cold sweat on his brow.
"This damned little bastard, when I catch him, I'll tear him to pieces!" Third Master Tang said, gritting his teeth in hatred.
After Fourth Master Tang simply bandaged his wound, he said to the other two, "Chase him! When I catch this little brat, I'll slice off his flesh piece by piece."
On a large tree, Qin BuYi watched the three, who had bandaged their wounds and were giving chase, and said mockingly, "Fools, die in despair and pain."
Night fell.
Throughout this night, Qin BuYi, like a ghost, always managed to catch the three off guard with unexpected Attacks.
He never engaged in prolonged fights, running away after each sneak Attack, which truly infuriated the three Tang Family members.
"Damn it, how can this little brat be so insidious?" Third Master Tang couldn't help but curse.
"All the water sources we passed along the way have been poisoned."
Seventh Master Tang pulled out a silver needle from the flowing water, its upper half shining silver, its lower half pitch black as if demonically tainted.
The next morning, at dawn.
The three Tang Family members were hungry, tired, thirsty, and sleepy. This whole night, they not only had to guard against various poisonous insects and wild beasts in the Falling Star Mountain Range.
More importantly, an unseen Qin BuYi was hiding in the dark, ready to Attack at any moment.
The three of them dared not let their guard down, their spirits constantly tense.
"Third Brother, do you still have water in your spatial ring?" Fourth Master Tang said, his face a sickly white.
"It's gone. I thought this mission would be a piece of cake, so I didn't prepare," Third Master Tang said with some regret.
"I still have a little food and water here, just enough to last until tonight," Seventh Master Tang's voice came from ahead.
Qin BuYi observed the three from the shadows, thinking to himself, "The time should be about right."
Fourth Master Tang, who was walking at the back of the group, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, red blood mixed with green.
"Fourth Brother, what's wrong?" Third Master Tang asked, his tone somewhat anxious.
"Cough, cough... I... might be poisoned..." Fourth Master Tang's voice revealed weakness.
"Poisoned? When? Could it be...?"
Seventh Master Tang, who was at the front of the group, walked to Fourth Master Tang's side, tearing open the bandage on Fourth Master Tang's body. The wound on his back, inflicted by the Killing Blade, was turning green.
"What a tactic, truly a good tactic. I've been caught off guard, cough cough..." Fourth Master Tang said, his tone a mix of emotions.
As the three's attention was focused on Fourth Master Tang, Qin BuYi launched his Attack.
"Clang!"
"Killing Life Blade Technique · Extermination!"
The Killing Blade, like a crescent moon, enveloped the three.
Third Master Tang and Seventh Master Tang shielded Fourth Master Tang, whose combat power was severely diminished, behind them.
Both of them focused intently on Qin BuYi's Attack, fearing that the Killing Blade would strike them, leading to Fourth Master Tang's fate.
Speaking of poison, he had to thank the Tang Family. This was something Qin BuYi had plundered from a Tang Family pawn shop, truly a case of "the wool coming from the sheep's back."
The Killing Blade's Attack feigned a heavy strike towards the already severely poisoned Fourth Master Tang, but its true target was Third Master Tang beside him.
"Die!" Qin BuYi roared.
The Killing Blade slashed towards Fourth Master Tang.
"Fourth Brother, look out!"
Third Master Tang, holding a long blade with his single arm, tried to block the Killing Blade's Attack.
Unexpectedly, the Killing Blade changed direction mid-way, attacking Third Master Tang.
"Hiss!"
The blade mercilessly cut a three-foot-long wound into Third Master Tang's arm.
Having succeeded with one strike, Qin BuYi no longer lingered in combat and turned to leave.
"Oh, and I coated the blade with potent poison. Good Luck to you."
Qin BuYi's voice came from afar.
"Third Brother, is what he said true?" Seventh Master Tang asked.
"I don't know, but..."
Third Master Tang looked at Fourth Master Tang, who had already fainted from the poison, and his heart was in turmoil.
