Chapter 69

Swoosh! Bang!

A ghostly figure darted through the crowd of elders, and with each passing, a crisp "bang" echoed. The heads of the elders, who were once seen as immensely powerful, instantly shattered like glass, blood and brain matter splattering everywhere!

"Looking for death..."

Feng Longqian was a genius of the Feng family, having reached the peak of the Chenggang realm at just forty years old. His pair of large hammers were so formidable that even those at the Bingjia realm couldn't get close. Seeing the young man charging towards him, his eyes flashed, and he swung his hammers with all his might!

This move, "Double Peak Piercing the Ears," was not only powerful but also incredibly fast. It was not just that no one at the same level could dodge it; even those at the early Bingjia realm would find it difficult to avoid!

Bang!

Sure enough, the hammers struck Nie Yun's head without any resistance. However, instead of Nie Yun's skull shattering and his brain splattering, the hammers themselves developed a head-shaped dent.

His iron hammers were actually softer than the other's head!

"This... This is impossible! How can someone's body be harder than iron hammers?"

Seeing the dents, Feng Longqian felt like he was going mad. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a pain in his throat, and then his eyes saw his heels... his head fell to the ground!

The first Nirvana of the Ninefold Nirvana Technique was successful, and the second level of the Lingxi Body Tempering Technique, which had been delayed due to a lack of Imperial Flame Spirit Stones, had also advanced, reaching the Great Perfection stage!

At the Great Perfection stage of the second level, even low-grade noble weapons would shatter upon contact, having no effect at all!

Killing Feng Longqian was no different from killing a chicken or a dog for Nie Yun. His eyes showed no emotion as he saw another elder raise his weapon and charge at him.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Blood flowed slowly across the smooth ground of the city lord's residence, staining the entire area red. The many elders who once dominated Luoshui City now lay on the ground, more than a dozen of them turned into corpses.

"Ah... This kid isn't human! Everyone, run!"

"How can he be so powerful! What's going on..."

Seeing the people around him die one by one, whether at the early or peak Chenggang realm, everyone was terrified! Each of them could barely last a single move under the young man's hands.

They had only followed the patriarch's orders to cooperate with Nie Qiang, not to die. Knowing they would die, rushing forward would be insane!

They were not insane, so they began to retreat, their eyes filled with fear.

"Earlier, I told you to back off, but you didn't. Now it's too late!"

Ignoring their panic, Nie Yun sneered. With a wave of his right hand, Xiao Hu, who was standing to the side, charged forward with him.

When a commoner is angry, blood splatters five paces. When the Son of Heaven is angry, a million corpses lie. But when the Blood Prison Demon Lord is angry, the heavens and earth change, and the sky is stained red with blood!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

One by one, bodies fell to the ground, like wheat stalks cut by a reaper. In less than a minute, another dozen people lay dead.

"Ugh..."

Seeing the scene before him, Nie Qiang finally couldn't hold back the acid in his stomach and vomited!

He had seen people die before and had even killed himself, but he had never seen someone kill with such a calm expression, as if killing were as simple as slaughtering a chicken. The intense shock was too much for him to bear!

Is... Is this still a human?

At such a young age, how could he have such a heart? He was like a devil from hell!

In fact, he didn't know that Nie Yun was called a devil in his previous life! The Blood Prison Demon Lord, a fierce ghost from the hellish blood pool, a revered demon!

Nie Yun was not a bloodthirsty person. Under normal circumstances, he preferred to resolve conflicts verbally rather than through violence. For example, when dealing with Nie Liu and Li Fu, he would spare them if they submitted. However, for those who had completely touched his sore spots, it was different. If the roots are not completely eradicated, the weeds will grow again. He would not allow his opponents a second chance to strike back! Once he acted, they must die!

Nie Qiang had touched his sore spots, and not just once. So, this time, Nie Yun had no intention of holding back. Whoever was with him would die, regardless of their family, status, or even if they were the Son of Heaven!

If you offend me, Nie Yun, if you offend me, the Blood Prison Demon Lord, you must be prepared for this outcome. You must know that only death can quench my anger!

"I'll fight you to the death!"

After vomiting, seeing that most of his subordinates were already dead, Nie Qiang knew there was no way out. His face twisted in a fierce expression as he charged at Nie Yun.

This charge was not a reckless rush but a powerful move, the "Three Stacks of the Yangtze River," with both palms stacked together.

This martial technique was his strongest, and once used, even early Bingjia realm experts would have to retreat. He was confident that even if he couldn't kill the other, he could at least hinder him and escape!

However, his plan failed. He never dreamed that the move he had bought from the auction house was created by the young man before him, who had left a hidden move!

Whoosh!

Nie Yun broke through the defense of the "Three Stacks of the Yangtze River" and reached out with his large hand. With a single grab, he caught Nie Qiang's throat.

"You... You can't kill me. We are cousins... We have the same blood in our veins..."

Feeling the unbridled killing intent from the other, Nie Qiang was terrified, trembling and shouting desperately.

"Cousins? Now you're cousins? When you had Nie Liu plot against my sister, did you think of her as your cousin? When your father, Nie Haotian, plotted against Nie Tong, did he think of him as just a three-year-old child? When you tried to kill me, did you think of me as your cousin?"

Thinking of the disasters they had brought to his branch family, Nie Yun's voice turned cold and harsh.

"Nie Yun... I was wrong. As long as you spare me, I'll agree to anything..."

Seeing those icy eyes, Nie Qiang finally realized what kind of monster he had offended and shouted desperately.

"Agree to anything? Then how about this: I order you to die. Can you agree to that?" Nie Yun was unmoved.

"You're determined to let me die?" Realizing the other's resolve, Nie Qiang stopped begging for mercy. A fierce expression rose on his face. "Fine, then let's die together!"

With that, the power within his body surged, his entire qi sea swelling as if about to explode!

Self-destruction!

Self-destruction was the process of using one's own power to completely detonate the qi sea. The qi sea was the most mysterious part of the human body, and once it exploded, the power was immense. If a peak Chenggang realm expert like Nie Qiang self-destructed, even early Bingjia realm experts would be killed instantly if they were unprepared.

"Want to self-destruct? You don't have the chance!"

Who was Nie Yun? A seasoned veteran from two lifetimes. If he let a young man self-destruct and injure him, it would be embarrassing. With a cold laugh, he increased the pressure on his hand. With a "crack," Nie Qiang's head fell to the ground with a thud.

PS: The next chapter is titled "Gift Box." Nie Yun is going to give a gift to Nie Haotian. Can you guess what the gift is? There's a prize for guessing correctly...

If you post a review in the review section, you'll get 15 points. Haha. (By the way, I still don't know how to set up the reward system on Qidian, so I can't give out rewards yet. Sorry!)

Also, the recommendation votes today are great, but it seems we haven't surpassed yesterday's total. With more and more people adding the book to their collections, we should be doing better than yesterday, not worse!

Moreover, the number of collections seems to be much lower than yesterday. Have you all forgotten to add the book to your collections? Please do so!

Currently, we have 2,200 collections. If we can reach 2,450 by midnight, that's an increase of 250 collections, I'll do four updates tomorrow! (Friendly reminder: The book is currently in the recommended section, and it usually gains around 200 collections during this time. As long as everyone persists, breaking 250 should be quite simple.)
