The Marquis has arrived!
The Marquis is the head of the Marquis family, a truly important figure. Almost everyone in the Qingtian Kingdom knows of his existence, for he is the Marquis of the South.
Those in the know understand that this Marquis is the true ruler of the southern part of the Qingtian Kingdom; although nominally belonging to the royal family, it is actually controlled by the Marquis family.
A tall, imposing man, over two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a well-proportioned physique, exuding the aura of a superior.
Very strong!
That was Qin Chuan's impression. The Marquis's strength seemed unfathomable to Qin Chuan, but Qin Chuan wasn't too worried; he had absolute confidence in his current abilities.
The Marquis remained calm. He walked over, saw his woman and son beaten so badly, yet showed no emotion. Then he looked at Qin Chuan and the Imperial Tutor.
"Don't you two have anything to say?" the Marquis asked.
"We didn't come here to talk; we came here to kill," the Imperial Tutor said.
"Oh, kill? Very well. Who do you intend to kill?" the Marquis asked.
"Young Master Hou, Second Master Hou... Patriarch Hou and Madam Hou," the Imperial Tutor said.
"Hahaha!"
The Marquis suddenly burst into laughter, looking at the Imperial Tutor as if he were an idiot, but the Imperial Tutor simply watched him laugh maniacally.
The Marquis laughed a few times, then stopped, looking at the Imperial Tutor with a ferocious expression. He moved like a gust of wind.
The Marquis made his move.
The Marquis was very strong, and Qin Chuan also made his move. Regardless of whether the Imperial Tutor could defeat him, Qin Chuan was going to attack. Some people the Imperial Tutor had to deal with, while others he could handle alone.
Qin Chuan was even faster; his figure was fast but clear, sometimes clear, sometimes dark, like a shadow.
Bang!
The Marquis was knocked back by Qin Chuan's attack, his blood churning. Qin Chuan remained calm; he had hit him, his speed was not an issue, after all, he possessed the Divine Path Step.
However, this Marquis's defensive capabilities were extremely strong, exceptionally strong. This was due to a special physique that allowed him to ignore certain attacks. Since there was already a significant difference in cultivation level between Qin Chuan and him, this was now being mitigated, so the outcome was normal.
Qin Chuan considered this normal, as he hadn't intended to kill his opponent easily. If he wanted to, it wouldn't be impossible, given his absolute speed; a direct attack on a vital point would surely kill.
This was the immense advantage of absolute speed.
Furthermore, Qin Chuan's attacks were imbued with Yin-Yang power, so he wasn't afraid. Besides, ending the battle wouldn't be difficult for Qin Chuan. At this moment, a large crowd had gathered around the Marquis's gate—the Marquis family, the most powerful family in the Qingtian Kingdom.
"Boy, very good. I see you have potential. Follow me, and I'll give you wealth and honor. [Biquge www.biquwu.biz] Whatever you want, I'll give you. How about it?" the Marquis said earnestly, looking at Qin Chuan.
"I want your life!" Qin Chuan retorted.
"Insolence! I admire you, Marquis. Don't push your luck. If you continue to be disrespectful, I'll send you to the Western Paradise!" A young-looking man drew his longsword, ready to charge at Qin Chuan.
But at that moment, Qin Chuan moved. His figure flashed, delivering a punch and a kick.
One kick crippled his cultivation, one punch ripped his mouth apart. Qin Chuan didn't kill him, because sometimes killing isn't the most satisfying way to vent hatred. For some, death is a relief; the best outcome is to make them feel worse than dead.
Arrogant, presumptuous, killing whoever he wants in front of the Marquis family, showing no regard for them whatsoever. So what if the Marquis family is the Southern Emperor? So what if the Marquis family is high and mighty? Today, their reputation has been shattered, their son and woman have been brutally beaten. What can they do?
"Since you know what happened back then, that makes things easier. I won't explain my purpose anymore; I'm sure you understand perfectly well," the Imperial Tutor said calmly.
"Hand over those who participated in the original scheme. As for your failure to properly educate your son, I won't spare your lives. Just cripple your cultivation, and we'll call it even today," the Imperial Tutor said, looking at the Hou family head. "
Haha, you little bitch, you really think I can't handle you? Set up the formation, and I'll make sure they die knowing why!" the Hou family head roared, his anger turning into a mocking laugh.
The Hou family head had come prepared. As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery changed, and a grand formation activated.
This was the Hou family's stronghold, so naturally, there were no defenses. This formation was a layer of protection, a great formation safeguarding the Hou family. At least in the Hou family's eyes, this formation was impenetrable.
No matter who came, this formation could ensure the Hou family's safety in the Azure Heaven Kingdom. This was the Hou family head's confidence, and this formation was also a huge asset for the Hou family, allowing them to guarantee their safety at all times.
Qin Chuan observed the enemy's grand formation. He stood beside the Imperial Tutor and Xiao Qifeng. As the formation shifted, Qin Chuan, carrying the Imperial Tutor, moved with him, remaining close to Xiao Qifeng. In that short time, if Qin Chuan hadn't been there, Xiao Qifeng would have vanished long ago.
Qin Chuan remained calm and composed. This formation was powerful, but Qin Chuan's mastery of formations was undeniable. Seeing Qin Chuan effortlessly traverse the formation, Xiao Qifeng realized he had underestimated this young man. He
also felt a sense of estrangement towards his daughter.
After all, so many years had passed since they last met. But today, he was overjoyed. The tears he had held in his heart for so many years were finally released, and he had seen his daughter again. His daughter recognized him as her father. Before, he had thought he would never see his daughter again in this lifetime.
He also felt he would never be able to take revenge. These past few days, he felt he couldn't bear it anymore. He felt he couldn't go on living. This torment, this oppression, he felt that if it continued like this, he would either die or go insane.
Unexpectedly, his daughter arrived at this moment, and everything took a dramatic turn for the better. At this moment, even if he were to die immediately, he would die smiling. On the other side, he could tell her that his daughter was doing well, that she had grown up, that she was excellent, and that she had a wonderful husband who treated her very well…
This was the happiest day in all these years. Before, his eyes were red with anger, then relieved, but now he was in tears. This was happiness, immense happiness, a happiness beyond description.
Because for all these years, he didn't know what could make him happy, but now he knew. In fact, he had always known that only this thing could bring him happiness, could bring him liberation.
He had had enough. He
was tired of all of this, but there was an obsession in his heart, a knot in his heart, and he had to untie it before he could leave.
Qin Chuan was multitasking, protecting the safety of the Imperial Tutor and Xiao Qifeng while searching for a way to break the formation. He had already released the Devouring Array Beasts, and the Devouring Array Beasts were searching even faster than Qin Chuan, after all, the Devouring Array Beasts were born from the formation, each one nurtured by a magical formation.
