Chapter 82

Liu Yue took a step back, his face pale, and said, "Qin Wentian, for the sake of Liu Yan, let's call it even."

Qin Wentian looked up toward Liu Yan, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Although it was a misunderstanding, it should have been a beautiful one, and we could still be friends. Unfortunately, you used this misunderstanding to try to kill me. As for Liu Yan, I don't owe her anything."

As he spoke, the killing intent in Qin Wentian's body grew stronger. He not only didn't owe Liu Yan anything; on the contrary, Liu Yan owed him a life.

Liu Yan looked in Qin Wentian's direction, as if she wanted to cry. She understood that what Qin Wentian said was true; it was she who owed him. It was laughable that when her brother Liu Yue said Qin Wentian liked her, she actually believed it and allowed her brother to use this supposed affection to target Qin Wentian.

"Die." Qin Wentian unleashed a palm strike from his hand, a terrifying seal technique heading toward Liu Yue. Liu Yue raised his hand to resist but was overwhelmed by the terrifying palm strike and killed in one hit.

"No..." Liu Yan squatted on the ground and burst into tears, closing her eyes as if she couldn't bear to see the scene.

Qin Wentian didn't show much sympathy when he looked at Liu Yan. When Liu Yue came to kill him, Liu Yan didn't even speak up. Perhaps she wasn't inherently bad, but her indifferent attitude was deeply disappointing, especially since he had saved her life.

"Very well." At this moment, a voice came from a distance. The crowd looked over and saw Prince Third Chu Tianjiao and Luo Qianqiu riding horses, looking down at Qin Wentian with calm and composed expressions. The scene before them didn't seem to affect them in the slightest.

"Qin Wentian, rescuing a death row inmate is a capital offense. Even if you are a student of the Imperial Star Academy, it's the same," Chu Tianjiao said calmly, pronouncing Qin Wentian's guilt with a single word.

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers around the training ground simultaneously aimed their arrows at them. The situation seemed inescapable.

"Yao'er, Wentian, foolish children." Qin Chuan felt guilty; were his children's bright futures about to be ruined here?

"Thud, thud..." The ground suddenly trembled, and a terrifying demonic aura rushed toward them, making everyone's expressions turn serious.

Qin Chuan was also taken aback, his eyes flickering.

Chu Tianjiao, sitting on his horse, remained calm, but a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he whispered to himself, "Finally, you couldn't resist acting. I've been waiting for a long time."

The gates of the Black Castle opened, and a group of armored soldiers marched out, looking formidable. Chu Tianjiao shouted, "Capture the three of them and bring them to the Black Castle. They must be alive."

"Yes." The group of strong warriors rushed toward Qin Wentian and the others.

A group of demonic beasts charged madly and appeared in the field of vision. A glimmer of hope ignited in Qin Chuan's heart. He shouted at Qin Wentian and Qin Yao, "You both escape. Don't worry about me; they won't dare kill me."

As he spoke, he stepped toward the approaching group, raised his hand, and placed it on his own crown.

"If you take another step, I will die right here," Qin Chuan roared, his voice rolling, making the group slow their steps and glance at Chu Tianjiao.

Qin Chuan turned to look at Chu Tianjiao and said coldly, "A true man's death is not to be regretted. I, Qin Chuan, a man of iron, will keep my word."

Qin Chuan was taking a gamble. For days, Chu Tianjiao had been using him, seemingly trying to lure something out, perhaps in a game with his father. Even he didn't know the details.

Qin Chuan was betting that Chu Tianjiao wouldn't dare let him die.

Sure enough, Chu Tianjiao waved his hand, and the group stopped. At the same time, a group of raging demonic beasts charged in, as if these beasts were in a state of rebellion.

The archers immediately aimed their arrows at the demonic beasts and began to fight.

Qin Chuan said to Qin Wentian and Qin Yao, "You go. Take any chance to escape."

"Father." Tears streamed down Qin Yao's eyes. How could she bear to leave? This was her father.

Qin Wentian also looked at Qin Chuan and said, "Father, if we're going to leave, we'll leave together."

"If you don't leave now, I'll die right in front of you." Qin Chuan raised his hand, making Qin Wentian's face turn pale, his body trembling violently.

"Father." Qin Yao shouted, and then Qin Wentian pulled her hand and ran in a different direction.

Mo Qingcheng looked up at the sky, feeling somewhat anxious. Why hadn't they come yet?

"Qianqiu, do me a favor." Chu Tianjiao whispered to Luo Qianqiu, who nodded slightly, understanding Chu Tianjiao's meaning. He spurred his horse and rode toward the direction where Qin Wentian and Qin Yao were running.

In addition to Luo Qianqiu, another group was also chasing Qin Wentian and Qin Yao. This group was very young, but their auras were extremely cold.

Mo Qingcheng took a step forward, but Chu Tianjiao said, "Qingcheng, I don't want to stop you."

Hearing this, Mo Qingcheng paused, stopping there and sighing inwardly. She knew that if Chu Tianjiao intervened, even if she wanted to help Qin Wentian, it would be impossible.

"Chu Tianjiao, why must you be so ruthless?" Mo Qingcheng said, looking at Chu Tianjiao.

"I know the Mo family has a deep connection with Qin Wu, but so much time has passed. The Qin family is no longer what it used to be, and the Mo family has already distanced itself from the matter. Why must you, Qingcheng, meddle in this?" Chu Tianjiao said, looking at Mo Qingcheng.

"Why must the Chu family be so ruthless?" Mo Qingcheng sighed, her gaze drifting to the distance. She knew Luo Qianqiu's identity. In the Chu Kingdom, Luo Qianqiu was an absolute taboo, even the royal family would only befriend him and not provoke him. Even the Imperial Star Academy could only tolerate his presence.

Moreover, Luo Qianqiu's strength was extremely powerful. She could only wish Qin Wentian good luck; she didn't have the power to intervene.

Qin Wentian and Qin Yao ran frantically in the dark forest, the speed of the Nine Heavens Kunpeng Technique pushed to its limit. However, he found that those tracking him were very strong, and their speed was no slower than his with Qin Yao.

"Sister, you go first," Qin Wentian said to Qin Yao.

"No." Qin Yao firmly refused.

"If you don't go, we'll both be hard-pressed to escape. If you leave, I still have a chance. Your speed is too slow and will hold me back," Qin Wentian said to Qin Yao.

Qin Yao felt a faint sense of disappointment when she heard Qin Wentian's words. She knew he was deliberately trying to upset her, but what he said was true.

"Wentian, Father has already been captured. You must not fall into their hands," Qin Yao said, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Qin Wentian.

"Don't worry, Sister, I still have to take care of you," Qin Wentian said with a smile. Qin Yao nodded heavily, "I'll wait for you."

As she spoke, Qin Wentian released her hand and stopped.

"Go quickly," Qin Wentian shouted. Qin Yao wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, enduring the pain of her heart being torn apart, and continued to run.

Seeing Qin Yao leave, Qin Wentian's face showed a gentle smile. However, when he looked at the figures chasing him, his eyes were filled with coldness. In his hand, he tightly gripped the Golden Punishment Sword.

The figures chasing him wanted to split up to pursue, but Qin Wentian brandished the Golden Punishment Sword and shouted, "Whoever takes another step, this third-grade divine weapon will explode."

As he spoke, starry elemental energy flowed into the Golden Punishment Sword, and a terrifying sword aura spread out, making the figures stop in their tracks.

"This is a third-grade divine weapon bestowed by an elder of the Imperial Star Academy. If you want to die, come forward," Qin Wentian said with a cold smile. The figures felt the sword aura and their pupils contracted. Given Qin Wentian's talent displayed at the Imperial Star Academy, what he said was likely true.

"Attack him from a distance," Luo Qianqiu said coldly as he rode his horse, and the group released powerful auras, pressing forward with overwhelming force.

Qin Wentian's divine energy flowed wildly within him, and he unleashed the Wheel Sea Seal, the violent force colliding fiercely. Qin Wentian was pushed back by the impact, his blood surging, but he still didn't release the sword, determined to buy time for Qin Yao.

"Kill." The group of strong warriors continued to advance, launching powerful attacks. Qin Wentian was forced back step by step, spitting blood, his face pale, but his eyes remained resolute, standing firm.

"If I can't protect Father today and let Sister Yao fall into danger, I will have failed as a man," Qin Wentian said coldly, his palm unleashing the Wheel Sea Seal with great force, destroying everything in its path. However, this could only buy time, and soon Qin Wentian had already spat out a lot of blood.

His starry elemental energy was almost depleted, and the group attacking from a distance secretly admired Qin Wentian's resilience.

Soon, they began to spread out to the sides. Qin Wentian was too determined, and they needed a group to circle around and chase Qin Yao.

But at this moment, Qin Wentian roared, lunging forward, pressing the Golden Punishment Sword forward, and pouring starry elemental energy into it.

Qin Wentian's speed was incredibly fast, closing the distance in an instant. The Golden Punishment Sword swung, and in a moment, a terrifying sword aura burst forth, transforming into a rain of swords.

At the same moment, because Qin Wentian had charged forward at all costs, he also suffered a terrible impact, his body being thrown back and landing on the ground, spitting out another mouthful of blood. However, his eyes remained fixed on the front, the rain of swords reaping lives.

As Ren Qianhang had said, the Golden Punishment Sword was a one-time powerful divine weapon with a wide attack range, sweeping away many lives in an instant.
