Shangguan Ba's withered hand trembled and his aged face looked rather dispirited.
"Shangguan Chao is dead?"
"Shi Qin, he killed Shangguan Chao?
Doesn't that mean that Shi Qin is someone who walked out of the Desolate Forest? "
"Other than Hua Ling, has someone finally walked out of the Desolate Forest?" Close to ten thousand pairs of eyes stared at Qin Shi like sharp swords.
Looking back, Shangguan Ba did not care where Qin Shi had come from. He stared at Qin Shi with a trembling gaze and asked, "Is … is what he said true?"
Qin Shi could clearly sense a hint of grief and pain in Shangguan Ba's cloudy eyes when he looked at him.
Qin Shi let out a long sigh. He knew that there was no need to hide it anymore. He nodded and said, "That's right, he deserved it."
Clang!
At that moment, the withered hand that was holding Shangguan Leng loosened. After receiving Qin Shi's affirmation, the world in Shangguan Ba's eyes seemed to have shattered. He staggered a few steps back, and if Yan Dong had not caught him in time, he would have fallen to the ground. How could he still have the dignity of a peak Cryptic Spirit Realm martial artist?
No wonder the old had to send off the young. The pain of parting in life and death was not something an ordinary person could understand.
Shangguan Ba had already expected this possibility. He also knew that the chances of Shangguan Chao leaving the Desolate Forest were almost zero. However, for an old man like him, it was only a form of faith and hope.
Now that his faith had collapsed, he had collapsed as well.
"How, how has he been all these years?" With Yan Dong's support, Shangguan Ba's eyes narrowed as he asked this question.
Even if he knew that Shangguan Chao was dead, he still wanted to know what had happened to him all these years. Perhaps this was how parents felt?
Qin Shi's heart was as heavy as a rock, but he did not avoid Shangguan Ba's gaze. He had not done anything wrong when he killed Shangguan Chao. Shangguan Chao had brought this upon himself, but this old man had suffered.
"Pretty well."
It was a short word, but Shangguan Ba smiled under the pale yellow glow of the setting sun.
"That's good, that's good …"
He shook his head and suddenly felt relieved. He looked around the Shangguan family's courtyard and sighed helplessly. "Back then, I spoiled Chao too much. I didn't educate Leng 'er well. All of this was caused by me!"
"Jun Hao, I'm sorry!"
Shangguan Junhao, the father of Shangguan Leng and Shangguan Wan'er.
Staring at the number one expert of Leng City, who was now so dispirited and listless, the people of the Hundred Clans fell silent. Who could say for sure?
Xiu!
All of a sudden, a piercingly cold sharp sword swept across the ground, sweeping up Leng Cheng as it stabbed toward Shangguan Ba.
Qin Shi glared at him. "Be careful!"
Puff!
However, he was still too late. The moment he opened his mouth, Shangguan Leng held the sharp sword in his hand. Shangguan Ba did not dodge and allowed him to stab the sword into his chest.
When the sword pierced through, Yan Dong flew into a rage and raised his hand, exerting force. "Shangguan Leng, you bastard!"
"Don't move!"
However, all of a sudden, Shangguan Ba pulled Yan Dong back while trembling. Immediately after, he stared at Shangguan Leng sternly. "I'll take this blow because of you. I'm ashamed to face your father's soul in heaven!"
"Your father, for the sake of the Shangguan family, did not hesitate to perish together with Xie Lei. He is a great hero of the Shangguan family. How did you become like this?"
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, a rebounding force spread out from Shangguan Ba's chest. Two streams of blood bloomed like snowflakes, forcing the sharp sword out of his body and breaking it into dozens of pieces.
Clang!
Shangguan Leng was stunned. A bloody aura flashed before his eyes and pierced through his chest like thousands of sharp swords, sweeping him hundreds of meters away.
Xiu!
"This attack is for Wan'er!"
A bloody sword slashed at Shangguan Leng's chest. However, this was not the end. The bloody sword turned into an afterimage and fell down, cutting off Shangguan Leng's skin.
"This attack is for your dead father!
You've failed to live up to his expectations of you! "
The continuous bloody aura swept up Shangguan Leng like a torrential rain, leaving bloody wounds on his body one after another. He groaned and flew out limply.
The crowd watching from the side could not help but gasp. Shangguan Ba's strength at the peak of the Cryptic Spirit State was enough to make the Green Cloud Sect boil.
"Shangguan Ba is serious this time."
"Can he not be serious?
His own son is dead, his own niece has been imprisoned for many years, and the ultimate culprit is his nephew! "
"Not bad. If it was someone else, Shangguan Ba would have crushed him into powder in minutes!
No matter what, Shangguan Leng and him are blood is thicker than water, which is why he showed mercy! "
Qin Shi was not far away. He could not help but feel a lingering fear as he stared at Shangguan Ba's powerful attacks.
He asked himself honestly. If he did not borrow the power of the Evil Spirit and the Devil Talisman, he would definitely not be a match for Shangguan Ba. He might not even last 100 moves against Shangguan Ba.
Fortunately, after the truth was revealed, Shangguan Ba did not point his finger at him.
He knew that there was no need for him to stay. Therefore, he wrapped himself in his black robe and raised his head, immersing himself in the gentle light of the sunset. He got up and walked in the direction of the pavilion, ready to leave with the two women.
Bang!
However, just as he turned around, a deafening explosion suddenly erupted, causing an uproar among the crowd.
Qin Shi abruptly turned his head, and his black pupils trembled.
Shangguan Ba took a few steps back and knelt on the ground with his aged body.
"What's going on?" The crowd was shocked.
Shangguan Wan 'er knelt on the ground and whined, "Grandfather!"
"What happened just now?"
"Look at Master Shangguan's chest!"
Suddenly, a beautiful figure in the crowd let out a low growl. Following that, everyone looked towards Shangguan Ba's chest, including Qin Shi.
On Shangguan Ba's chest, there was a horrifying wound that had been burnt to a crisp.
Staring at the wound, Qin Shi could not help but frown. From the outside, he could tell that the wound was not an external wound, but an explosion from the inside.
Shangguan Ba was suddenly seriously injured. Shangguan Leng got up with blood all over his body. He swayed and raised his head, staring at Shangguan Ba from an overlooking angle.
He held a silver thread of spiritual energy in his hand, which was hard to see with the naked eye. The silver thread was pierced straight into Shangguan Ba's chest.
Following the silver thread, one could clearly see that there were several streams of spiritual energy flowing out of Shangguan Ba's body and returning to Shangguan Leng's body.
Retracting the silver thread, Shangguan Leng laughed maniacally, "Haha, Shangguan Ba, you didn't expect this, did you?
As early as a few years ago, I had already added the powder of the Spirit Explosion Pill into the food that you ate every day! "
"Spirit Explosion Pill?"
The crowd exclaimed.
Qin Shi's black eyes focused and revealed a wisp of clear viciousness.
He could not be more familiar with the Spirit Explosion Pill. It was a pain that he would never forget. Shi Lan had died because she was killed by the Spirit Explosion Pill to save him. Not even her bones were left!
"Previously, I've been using spiritual energy to contain the Spirit Explosion Pill powder in your body. On account of the fact that we're uncle and nephew, I might have let you go if you had handed over the position of Master obediently. However, you've forced my hand!" Shangguan Leng's voice was so cold that it caused everyone to shiver.
How could a person be so cold and emotionless?
"B * stard!"
Shangguan Ba wailed in despair. Then, with a swoosh, the flickering space was torn apart by a ray of cold light.
His body was engulfed in flames. He was burning his own cultivation.
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. "Are you trying to destroy us together?"
Sensing the terrifying power, the crowd in Leng City who were watching from the Hundred Clans retreated almost instantly, creating an empty space within a kilometer radius of the arena.
Shangguan Leng's heart sank as he stared at Shangguan Ba, who was like a cheetah pouncing on its prey. He turned around and shouted in panic, "Old man, what are you trying to do?"
However, Shangguan Ba did not give him a chance. He grabbed his shoulder with his old, withered hand. "I didn't teach you well. I'll take you to heaven to apologize to your father!"
"You want to drag me along even before you die?
No, impossible. I'm the one who's going to be the Master. I'm the one who's going to be the Master!
Let me go! "
Shangguan Leng panicked. He tried to push Shangguan Ba away with all his might, punching through Shangguan Ba's chest with his mighty spiritual pressure.
However, Shangguan Ba grabbed him indifferently. The fire on his body was burning fiercely and he looked more and more serious.
He was about to self-destruct.
Everyone's eyes widened and their hearts were in their throats.
"No!
I can't die! "
Shangguan Leng suddenly howled in despair. "Xie Lei, you old bastard, how much longer do you want to watch!"
"Xie Lei?"
Hearing this shout, everyone trembled in fear. Even Shangguan Ba raised his head in disbelief.
Bang!
Just as everyone was stunned, a bolt of lightning struck down from the heavens. Immediately after, a thin old man stood in front of Shangguan Leng with his hands behind his back.
The old man's sudden appearance caused Qin Shi's black eyes to reveal a rare hint of fear. "Heaven Realm?"
The crowd burst into an uproar. "How could it be him?"
"He, he's the Xie Lei who almost destroyed the Shangguan family and perished together with Shangguan Junhao?"
"There's no mistake … He's actually still alive?"
"But why is he with Shangguan Leng?
Isn't he the one who killed Shangguan Leng's father? "
"Heavens, this is too chaotic!"
It was a mess, it was all a mess. The Heaven Seizing Realm was an existence that they had never dared to imagine.
"You're not dead?"
Staring at the old man called Xie Lei, Shangguan Ba's body trembled. His turbid old eyes revealed unprecedented pain.
Xie Lei opened his robe and patted Shangguan Ba's body with a withered yellow arm. "Hehe, Shangguan Ba, I haven't seen you for more than ten years.
Self-destruct?
"Don't, we just met. If you die, it won't be fun anymore!"
Bang!
With just this pat, the protruding flames on Shangguan Ba's body seemed to have been irrigated by a torrential rain, and were suddenly suppressed to the point of extinguishing.
Hiss …
Sucking in a breath of cold air, the crowd trembled as they moved their feet. The self-destruction of a peak Profound Spirit Realm was actually interrupted by this light blow?
Heaven Realm?
Just how terrifying was this?
Xie Lei pressed down on Shangguan Ba's shoulder with his bare hands.
Cheng?
Mu Zi?
Meng Kuo?
Kyūkyūshū #??
Chuan Huang?
This time, Xie Lei smiled casually, "Hehe, are you surprised?"
"Indeed, I didn't die. I have to thank your nephew for all of this. If it wasn't for him suddenly appearing in front of me at the last moment and stopping Shangguan Junhao, I wouldn't have had the chance to counterattack and win. I wouldn't have had the chance to live to this day and even break through to the Heaven Realm!" Xie Lei laughed heartily.
The crowd burst into an uproar.
Shangguan Ba glared at Shangguan Leng in confusion and said with a trembling voice, "Is what he said true?
You saved him?
Did you harm Junhao? "
"That's right!"
Shangguan Leng broke free from Shangguan Ba's arms and took a few deep breaths with one hand on his knee. Then, he raised his head and said in disdain, "I saved him!"
"Are you crazy?
Why! "
"Hehe, my father is a kind person. This world where the strong prey on the weak is not suitable for him. Since he refused to be ruthless, I'll take his place!" Shangguan Leng said in a relaxed manner, as if that person was not his father at all.
These few short words caused everyone present, including Qin Shi, to knit their brows tightly together. Just how ruthless did a person have to be in order to use his own sister to harm his own father?
Was there anything he couldn't do?
