"You have more moves?"
Qin Cangjing looked at his younger brother, a smile on his face, and said, "It's come to this. Bring out whatever hidden moves you have. If you don't use them now, you won't get another chance. You know, I can't possibly let you live today."
"Qin Tianxia, you want me dead, but I want you dead just the same."
Hearing this, Qin Tianxia smiled and said, "Brother, you speak the truth. I shall introduce you to a few friends now."
With that, Qin Tianxia half-knelt on the ground and respectfully called out, "I request the presence of the Great Fist God."
"Swish—"
As Qin Tianxia finished speaking, a cold wind blew in from outside the door. The next moment, an old man, standing at 1.7 meters tall, gaunt, with white hair and appearing extremely frail, materialized behind Qin Tianxia.
"Young Master Qin, what is your command?" the old man asked, placing a hand on Qin Tianxia's shoulder with a sinister smile.
"I want every Qin family member in the assembly hall to die," Qin Tianxia replied, his tone respectful yet filled with hatred for his kin.
"Young Master Qin is a friend of our Killing Path Society. We will grant any request you have. However, friends are friends, and business is business. We are undertaking such a significant matter for you, Young Master Qin, so our benefit cannot be overlooked."
The thin old man looked at Qin Tianxia and said, "Our Killing Path Society has long wished to open a hospital in Longdu. Could Young Master Qin assist us?"
"Of course."
Qin Tianxia declared, "Once this is done, I will fully assist you in establishing this hospital, even helping you resolve all difficulties."
"Good. Since that is the case, I am reassured."
The thin old man coughed, then scanned the Qin family members present and said indifferently, "Since Young Master Qin wishes for you to die, then all of you shall die."
"Old man, you think you are to order our deaths? Who do you think you are?"
Seeing a frail, sickly-looking old man acting so arrogantly, a Qin family man in the assembly hall became enraged. He stepped forward, pointed at the old man's nose, and began to curse.
"Bang—"
The old man's response was a heavy punch that instantly exploded the speaking Qin family man. Blood mist filled the air, creating a terrifying scene.
"This..."
Upon witnessing how terrifying the frail old man was, everyone present was utterly stunned and took half a step back.
Qin Lianyue had also not expected this seemingly sickly old man to possess such formidable strength. However, anger overcame her fear, and she shouted at Qin Tianxia, "You have colluded with the Killing Path Society! Do you know you have violated taboos? And you have allowed people from the Killing Path Society to kill your own kin! Your actions will be reviled for generations!"
"I don't care," Qin Tianxia retorted. "Which of the five great families doesn't collude with the Killing Path Society? And which of the five great families doesn't engage in infighting?"
"Qin Lianyue, you have always been dissatisfied with me, and I have tolerated you for a long time. Next, you will be the one to die."
Finishing his words, Qin Tianxia pointed at Qin Lianyue and said to the thin old man, "Great Fist God, please kill her."
"Young Master Qin commands, how dare I disobey."
As Qin Tianxia finished speaking, the thin old man's eyes flashed with ferocity. He swiftly moved towards Qin Lianyue and delivered a heavy punch aimed directly at her.
This punch was more ferocious and domineering than the previous one. Qin Lianyue tried to dodge, but she was suppressed by the terrifying fist energy, rendering her unable to move.
"Lianyue..."
Recalling the horrific slaughter of the previous punch, the Qin family members who cared for Qin Lianyue's safety turned pale with alarm. However, when they tried to rush forward to help, they found themselves suppressed by the old man's power and unable to move.
"Swish—"
Just as everyone believed Qin Lianyue would suffer the same fate as the earlier Qin family member, a figure appeared before Qin Lianyue. The black saber in their hand was thrust forward, blocking the thin old man's heavy punch.
The punch made the black saber hum, but a powerful and terrifying force erupted from the saber, pushing the old man back three steps before he could stabilize himself.
"This..."
Seeing this, the Qin family members' eyes widened, staring intently at the person protecting Qin Lianyue.
It was Qin Cangjing—their family head, Qin Cangjing. Indeed, in times of crisis, it was Qin Cangjing who mattered.
"As expected of Qin Cangjing. After so many years, you are still this formidable."
The thin old man felt a sharp pain in his wrist and said to Qin Cangjing, "With a casual punch, I can exert a thousand jin of force, enough to shatter stone and split mountains. Yet, you blocked my punch with such ease. Your strength is even greater and more terrifying than it was back then."
"Great Fist God of the Killing Path Society, the Human Peak of the Twelve Riders of the Three Peaks."
Qin Cangjing looked at the old man before him and said, "Twenty years ago, you were already a peak martial artist. Twenty years later, your strength has grown even greater. However, there is one thing you should not have done: you should not have set foot in the Dragon Country, and you certainly should not have come to the Qin family to kill."
"Since you have come, you must stay. Since you have killed Qin family members, you shall die here."
The Three Peaks and Twelve Riders of the Killing Path Society were the fifteen top powerhouses of the Killing Path Society. Especially the Three Peaks, any one of them was a top-ten martial artist in the world.
The Great Fist God before them was renowned globally for his fists. Even Song Shadao and Shen Tianjun, in their prime, would not dare to directly receive his fist energy. One could imagine how terrifying his punches were.
The title "Great Fist God" was not self-proclaimed but earned by defeating countless experts. Qin Cangjing had fought the Great Fist God when he was young, but at that time, he was no match for him.
However, so many years had passed. The Great Fist God was no longer the same Great Fist God, and Qin Cangjing was no longer the same Qin Cangjing. The Qin family members present, and even the involved parties, could not predict the outcome of this confrontation.
"Great Fist God, what are you waiting for? Kill Qin Cangjing for me immediately! Afterwards, you can open as many hospitals in Longdu as you wish, and I will fulfill them all for you."
The Killing Path Society's intention to open a hospital in Longdu was certainly not for the sake of healing the sick and saving lives, but for conducting clandestine activities. However, Qin Tianxia cared not for such matters. As long as he could kill Qin Cangjing and all the Qin family members present, he could ascend to the position of family head, and then he could do as he pleased.
"Qin Tianxia, you are not only a disgrace to the Qin family but also a madman and scum!"
Qin Chunqiu, upon hearing Qin Tianxia's words, was filled with righteous anger and declared, "If we survive today, we will tear you, this disgrace of the Qin family, to shreds!"
"Young Master Qin, please remain calm. This old man shall now strike and kill him."
The Great Fist God's face showed immense satisfaction upon hearing Qin Tianxia's words. After uttering this, he moved.
