BXBX NOVEL Chapter 408 - 408: Sixth Ancestor Made a Move
“No worries.”
Qin Yuan took the pill. His originally pale complexion finally reddened somewhat. As he too had refined many Black Blood Stones, his injuries swiftly recovered completely.
Outwardly, he seemed almost unharmed. Yet only he knew the true extent of the wounds within.
“Good if you are fine.” Qin Ziteng finally exhaled in relief.
He refocused, gazing down at Qin Hao on the ground. His eyes instantly chilled. Clenching his hand, the void swiftly darkened. A green palm covered in markings enveloped the firmament, radiating a saint’s might. It pressed down from above, intent on extinguishing Qin Hao.
By this point, Qin Hao’s threat had been fully demonstrated. If Qin Hao was allowed to continue growing, Qin Yuan would likely be unable to deal with him in time. He feared that soon even he would have no recourse against Qin Hao!
Right now, while Su Chen had yet to arrive, it was a prime chance. Seizing this opportunity to erase Qin Hao would eliminate all future troubles!
“The Qin family is truly too shameless!” someone indignantly exclaimed.
No matter what, Qin Hao was a prodigy of the human race. By doing this, even under the pretense of family matters, once Qin Hao died it would be a massive loss for ail humankind.
Though Qin Hao’s Longevity Immortal Body was gone, his potential yet remained. Now that it showed signs of recovery, none could predict how fearsome Qin Hao would become should it be fully restored.
Many present eagerly anticipated Qin Hao’s complete ascension. Yet Qin Ziteng seemed unwilling to provide that chance.
“Let alone the Qin family, gazing across the entire East Barrens, even the entire world, how many everlasting and mighty forces lack shame?”
“If they valued dignity, they would not have lasted this long.”
“If you were in Qin Ziteng’s shoes, 1 fear some maybe even more shameless!”
“What a pity. Qin Hao could be considered a talent, yet before fully maturing, he is set to fall.”
“Since ancient times, countless geniuses have perished. One more or less Qin Hao changes little. If you must blame, blame his insufficient background!” “That’s right! Wasn’t Su Chen behind Qin Hao? Why hasn’t he arrived yet? If he came, things might differ!”
Everyone covertly discussed amongst themselves. Yet on the surface, none dared express any dissatisfaction.
Qin Ziteng simply needed to kill Qin Hao. It was unrelated to those present anyway. Even if he killed some elders of various factions, they would still have to smile and praise it as a good kill!
“I am engaging in a life-and-death battle with Qin Yuan, fate will determine the outcome. Qin Ziteng, what is your intention in this matter?” Qin Hao stared at the sky and spoke lowly.
“Little bastard!” Hearing this, the killing intent in Qin Ziteng’s eyes intensified. “How dare a little bastard like you address me by name? Don’t forget, 1 am your uncle! Such disrespect for your elders. By Qin family rules, you should die for this!”
After speaking, his palm descended. The massive print was like the toppling sky, emitting overwhelming pressure that left people struggling for breath.
This palm was far too mighty. Before it, all below the Saint Realm were like ants!
Qin Yuan watched the scene unfold. Although he wanted to intervene, after careful consideration, he remained silent.
Though he desired to personally kill Qin Hao and wash away today’s humiliation, the recent battle had shaken that conviction. Perhaps, letting Qin Hao meet his end here was also an acceptable choice!
Yet, just as his palm was about to land on Qin Hao, a ray of divine light suddenly tore through the air from an immense distance. It was dazzling, slashing toward Qin Ziteng with the power to destroy all things!
Even the Saint Realm experts present felt their hair stand on end.
“What is that?” someone cried out in shock at the sight.
But before his voice could travel far, in the distance, the once smug Qin Ziteng was abruptly struck by lightning. His entire person was sent flying backward in an instant.
His stalwart body spasmed violently, his crown shattering. Hair disheveled, he cut a very sorry figure. Even half his body had been seared pitch black, resembling charcoal.
“Father!” Seeing this, Qin Yuan immediately cried out in surprise.
This sudden twist had come far too swiftly, catching them somewhat unprepared. None had anticipated such a dramatic turn at this crucial point!
“That… That aura… Could Su Chen have arrived?” Sensing the aura, someone’s eyes brightened as he spoke with pleasant surprise. At this time, it seemed none but Su Chen could possibly aid Qin Hao!
“No!” A Saint standing in the void frowned deeply. “No! That is not Su Chen’s aura at all! This… It seems to be the aura of the Qin family’s cultivation method. The attacker is not Su Chen!”
“What? Not Su Chen?”
Hearing this, confusion filled everyone’s gazes. They truly could not comprehend who else could possibly come to Qin Hao’s rescue now if not Su Chen.
Their confusion did not last long, however. Only to see, not far away, Qin Ziteng struggled up from the ground, appearing in a sorry state. His face was filled with disbelief as he stared at the void and spoke heavily, “Sixth Ancestor! What is the meaning of this?”
Those present might not have known, but Qin Ziteng understood very well. The attacker just now was none other than an elder of the Qin family, also a direct elder of their bloodline.
The Sixth Ancestor of the Qin family!
As an expert of Qin Ziteng’s lineage, the Sixth Ancestor was also one of the sole remaining Saint King Realm masters of the Qin family!
If it had been the Ninth Ancestor acting, Qin Ziteng might have understood. After all, the Ninth Ancestor was a direct elder of Qin Hao’s lineage.
Yet the crux was the one who had just struck him was the Sixth Ancestor, not the Ninth! No matter how he pondered, he could not fathom why his own ancestor would turn against him at this crucial point.
Could it be at this most critical moment, the ancestor’s heart had stirred for talent?
“Ziteng, what you have done goes somewhat too far!”
An aged voice rang out, echoing between heaven and earth. In the distant void, space twisted as a hunchbacked elder holding a dragon-headed cane emerged.
His entire being exuded a moldering aura. None would associate him with a Saint King Realm master..
