Chapter 3: I Cut All Ties with the Qin Family!
Chapter 3: I Cut All Ties with the Qin Family!
Qin Hao's aura surged violently. At the Peak of the Unity Realm and possessing the Supreme Bone, he was capable of burning mountains and boiling seas.
Carrying boundless majesty, it was as if the ten great Vicious Beasts had merged into one.
Incomparably extraordinary, he gathered the power of the Supreme Bone and the ten Vicious Beasts into a single palm strike, blasting it toward Qin Xuan's chest.
This single palm strike was enough to claim Qin Xuan's life.
Yet, within the vast Qin Princes Mansion, Qin Zhenbei did not move, letting things unfold as they would.
The clan elders were even more pleased to witness this.
Seeing him use the Supreme Bone, Qin Xuan beamed with joy. "My foolish brother! You must know that in the Desolate Ancient era, there is no tree that can block the sky—there is always something to subdue another!"
Five-Layer Light Smoke Palm!
Facing a merciless Qin Hao, Qin Xuan naturally would not hold back.
He unleashed a Saint Grade palm technique right from the start.
His Peak Unity Realm power erupted.
The two palms clashed.
Boom!
The Origin Qi of heaven and earth exploded. At the very moment of their clash, Qin Hao realized something was wrong.
Qin Xuan was not in the Blood-Moving Realm!
Before he could think further, the inner lining of his clothes was instantly shattered like dry weeds by Qin Xuan's bizarre palm force.
As if separated by the status of master and servant, he actually had no power to resist in front of Qin Xuan.
Bang!
Qin Xuan shattered Qin Hao's arm bone and struck his chest with a palm.
Qin Hao's face showed shock. Vomiting blood and instantly losing his origin force, he shot backward like a cannonball.
The tables and chairs in the mansion were smashed to smithereens, completely ruined. Had Qin Zhenbei not stepped in to shield him, this single palm strike would have sent Qin Hao flying over a hundred Zhang away.
Shock!
Suffocation!
Inability to breathe!
Within the vast Qin Princes Mansion, all the clan elders were dumbfounded, as if their throats were being gripped, making it hard to breathe.
Defeated.
The Little Young Master was actually defeated!
A favored Prodigy like the Little Young Master had actually been defeated by the trash Qin Xuan, unable to even withstand a single move.
Wasn't it said that Qin Xuan was in the Blood-Moving Realm?
The strength he had just displayed was clearly at the Peak of the Unity Realm.
Compared to the Little Young Master, he was not lacking in the slightest!
This child is so cunning to have hidden his cultivation until now. The more one thinks about it, the more terrifying it is. We must not allow him to grow further.
"Rebellious son!"
Qin Zhenbei was furious. Looking at his beloved son's heavily injured state, his heart ached immensely.
Looking at Qin Xuan, he was even more infuriated, pressing his aura down below.
An existence of the Saint King level—even if only a billionth of his mighty power descended, it was absolutely not something a Unity Realm cultivator could bear.
Puff!
Qin Xuan suffered a heavy blow and suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he ignored his battered internal state and sneered, "My foolish brother, your Supreme Bone is flawed after all. It is not as complete as your elder brother's!"
Qin Hao was a true Prodigy whose strength was enough to kill enemies above his level.
Even if he was at the Peak of the Unity Realm, combined with a somewhat unusual Saint Grade palm technique, it shouldn't have been enough to utterly crush him.
He could only blame Qin Hao for being too arrogant.
To actually dare use the Supreme Bone in front of him.
A flawed version facing a complete version—how could there be any chance of victory?
The moment he relied on the Supreme Bone, his defeat was already sealed!
"Impossible!"
"You must have cheated!"
Covered in blood and ignoring his bodily pain, Qin Hao stared at Qin Xuan with eyes nearly splitting.
He wanted to fight again, wanting to defeat Qin Xuan indisputably in front of everyone.
"Little Young Master, do not be anxious."
Seeing Qin Hao injured, the clan elders' hearts ached terribly.
They each took out precious healing medicines and fed them to Qin Hao.
They held him back, preventing him from clashing with Qin Xuan again.
The other clan elders looked at Qin Zhenbei one after another and spoke out in indignation, "King Qin, this brat has brought chaos to the Qin Princes Mansion and heavily injured the Little Young Master. His crime is unforgivable!"
"We ask Your Highness King Qin to uphold justice for the Little Young Master."
"The Little Young Master only clashed with this brat for the sake of Your Highness and us!"
Qin Zhenbei felt a surge of killing intent. His gaze was freezing cold, and his voice was like thunder. "Rebellious son, this King will personally punish you today!"
He was angry, and also horrified.
He had never expected that Qin Xuan would hide his cultivation inside the Qin Princes Mansion.
This rebellious son has already become estranged from the Qin Family.
If he is allowed to grow further, he will surely become a grave threat!
The might of a Saint King is unfathomably profound; even a mere snort would be enough to crush a Unity Realm cultivator to death.
"Who injured my Hao'er!"
Just as King Qin was about to deal a fatal blow, a clear, melodious voice echoed from outside the Qin Princes Mansion.
Immediately after, a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in a purple silk skirt floated inside.
The newcomer was none other than Qin Xuan's Saint Grade Alchemist mother, his biological mother.
Previously, Shangguan Ya had been in secluded cultivation, refining the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill for Qin Hao.
This was the first time Qin Xuan had seen his mother. He thought to himself that she indeed possessed an extraordinary bearing, truly worthy of the title of Saintess.
Shangguan Ya's temperament was outstanding. Before her beautiful eyes could even glance at Qin Xuan, she noticed Qin Hao's broken arm bone, and her eyes filled with panic.
Stepping forward quickly, she retrieved dozens of precious healing Medicinal Pills from her Storage Ring and personally fed them to Qin Hao.
"Mother, it hurts so much."
Qin Hao had a tearful face, playing the victim in front of Shangguan Ya.
Hearing this, Shangguan Ya's heart ached terribly. She immediately turned her head, glared at her eldest son, and scolded harshly, "Qin Xuan, as the elder brother, how could you be so ruthless?!"
Looking at Qin Xuan, Shangguan Ya was truly enraged.
She hated his cruelty, believing he shouldn't have tormented his biological younger brother like this!
"Heh!"
Qin Xuan laughed mockingly at himself.
He was truly speechless.
He was completely done with them.
The moment Shangguan Ya appeared, he had even held onto the thought that perhaps a mother indeed loves her son the most.
As it turned out, his mind had truly been clouded by wishful thinking.
This Qin Family is full of fucking lunatics!
They've gone completely mad raising their second-born!
"Are you blaming me?" Qin Xuan pointed at his own nose, sneering as he looked at Shangguan Ya. "When Qin Hao was about to attack me and put me to death just now, why didn't you show up? Now that he has brought this upon himself, you actually blame me!"
Shangguan Ya supported Qin Hao with heartache, continuously feeding him Medicinal Pills, and said in dissatisfaction, "You are biological brothers, bound by blood. Even if there are conflicts, you shouldn't have dealt such a heavy blow."
"So it's my fault?"
Shangguan Ya said angrily, "You broke one of Hao'er's arms, and you still don't admit your mistake?!"
She was furious, acting as if she wanted to seek justice for her Hao'er, completely ignoring the injuries inside Qin Xuan's body.
Qin Xuan really couldn't stand this insane Family atmosphere anymore. Regardless of the occasion, he poured out all the bitterness in his heart in one go, "Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault! It's all my fault! I shouldn't have been born into the Qin Family, let alone possess the Supreme Bone!"
"Hao'er, Hao'er, every breath is about Hao'er! When Hao'er is injured and cries in pain, he has his mother refining Medicinal Pills to treat him. I, Qin Xuan, am targeted by the entire clan and heavily injured internally by my biological father, but as my mother, have you ever worried about my injuries from beginning to end?! Ah!!! Have you?!"
Shangguan Ya focused her gaze to inspect him and indeed discovered the chaos of origin force inside Qin Xuan's body. She glared at Qin Zhenbei in annoyance, but she did not take out any Medicinal Pills.
She was single-mindedly refining the Nine Revolutions Divine Pill, so she did not have many high-quality healing Medicinal Pills.
If Hao'er were to be left with hidden ailments in the future, it would be too late for regrets.
Moreover, Hao'er's injuries were caused by Qin Xuan. It was only natural for him to receive some punishment.
It could also be considered venting some anger on behalf of her Hao'er!
"What precious Medicinal Pills." Qin Xuan looked at his Saintess mother, who seemed to have gone deaf, finding it laughable for himself.
When Qin Hao is injured, Medicinal Pills are eaten like candy.
But when he is injured, even by begging, he actually cannot get a single such pill!
Shangguan Ya said slowly, "You must understand your mother's difficulties."
Qin Xuan, not wanting to hear it, roared, "Shut up!"
You can't even spare a single pill. What right do you have to mention the word 'mother' in front of me?
Qin Zhenbei smashed a carved python head with a palm strike. "Rebellious son, that is your mother! How dare you infuriate your mother like this!"
"You shut up too!"
Qin Xuan pointed his finger at the high-and-mighty King Qin, his eyes wide. "Ever since I was falsely diagnosed with a malignant disease, you have never treated me as a son again."
"You single-mindedly nurtured your Hao'er, with only your Hao'er in your eyes. Since I returned, have you ever spared me a single glance?"
"Of course, you still care about me in your hearts—care about this Supreme Bone of mine, this complete piece that can patch up your Hao'er's flawed Supreme Bone."
"You have tried every means and thought of every way to ruin my reputation, deceiving yourselves into thinking that killing me would leave you guilt-free."
"In the end, don't you just want this Supreme Bone? Fine! I will satisfy you!!!"
Pfft!
Qin Xuan thrust one hand into his own chest cavity, gripped the brilliantly glowing Supreme Bone, and yanked it violently. Blood surged from his chest, and blood seeped from his gums.
Pain!
The agony of broken bones—with every breath, it felt like a knife-cut pain, suffocating!
On his forehead, sweat drops the size of beans slid rapidly down his bulging veins, dripping onto the floor with a distinct, audible sound.
In the quiet hall, all breathing seemed to stop. Qin Xuan's unbearable gasps were exceptionally rapid and heavy.
In front of everyone, Qin Xuan pulled and yanked violently. Amidst the terrifying sound of cracking bones, he forcibly broke over a dozen bones before pulling out a Supreme Bone, engraved with obscure runes and radiating treasure light, from his chest cavity.
Losing the Supreme Bone was like going from Heaven to Hell.
From the Peak of the Unity Realm, Qin Xuan's Realm began to plummet frantically at a speed like water leaking from a basket.
Unity Realm!
Cave-Heaven Realm!
Blood-Moving Realm!
The violent backlash made it impossible for Qin Xuan, who had already fallen to the third level of the Blood-Moving Realm, to even straighten his back.
He stared at the Supreme Bone in his hand, which made everyone present burn with greed, his eyes filled with disdain.
Tossing it away casually, he stared directly at the person who caught the bone, his gaze cold to the extreme. "You gave birth to me but did not raise me; gouging out this bone pays you back! The Supreme Bone you tried every means to obtain, I return it to you!"
"From this moment on, between the Qin Family and me,"
"All ties are severed!"
"We owe each other nothing!!"
"And we shall never associate with each other again for the rest of our lives!!!"
Having left the Supreme Bone behind, Qin Xuan's face was as pale as ash. He stumbled and knelt down in the direction of Shangguan Ya, constantly coughing up blood.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
His fatally injured body no longer allowed Qin Xuan to make any strenuous movements. With each heavy kowtow, a pool of blood was left on the ground.
With great difficulty, he kowtowed three times. As Qin Xuan pushed off with both his hands and feet, the sound of bones breaking could be heard.
He stood up with great difficulty.
Swaying back and forth as he stumbled, stepping in the pool of blood on the ground, he looked at Shangguan Ya. The last trace of warmth vanished along with his words, "The debt of giving birth to me—these three kowtows are my repayment to you."
With that said,
he clenched his teeth, turned around with difficulty, and dragged his heavily injured body, stumbling toward the main gate of the Qin Princes Mansion without a single shred of attachment.
"Without the Supreme Bone, you are just trash!"
"Daring to injure Young Master Qin Hao, this is your deserved end."
"You deserve to die!"
Looking at Qin Xuan, who was completely ruined and resembled a stray dog, the Qin Family elders all wore expressions of schadenfreude and sarcasm.
Hadn't they tried every means just to get the Supreme Bone?
Qin Xuan gouging out his bone and severing his familial ties saved them the trouble.
Without the Supreme Bone, was Qin Xuan even worth a second glance from them?
For trash like this, if they wanted to kill him, a single intimidating glance would be enough to leave him without a place for burial!
Qin Xuan hunched his back, completely ignoring the cold mockery and sarcasm raining down on him.
Just walking this distance had already exhausted his remaining vital energy and blood, causing him to stagger, nearly collapsing.
Blood flowed continuously from his wound; Qin Xuan's face was as pale as a sheet of wax paper.
Qin Zhenbei tightly clutched the Supreme Bone, his eyes shining as if he had acquired a priceless treasure.
Looking at the wretched figure outside the door, he deliberately put on a furious expression and roared, "Let him get lost! Tell him to scramble as far away as possible! Let's see who dares to collect his corpse when he dies out there!"
Without looking back, his hunched body crossed the threshold of the Qin Princes Mansion. At this moment, his back, which had been bent for months, seemed to straighten up. "A true man is buried wherever he dies; the green hills of the world are all the same."
