"Zhou Xuan, I'm just saying this because I can't stand by and watch. Don't blame me for being kind. In the end, you'll be the one to suffer..."
Zhou Xuan remained silent, his gaze as cold as ice fixed on her.
Qin Huaiyu continued, "Fine, if you won't listen to my advice, there's nothing I can do. I've already made myself clear. Zhou Xuan, I'll give you one last chance. If you know what's good for you, you'd better kill yourself right now, to avoid suffering in the end!"
"That's not up to you. If you remain stubborn, don't blame us for being ruthless!" a cold glint flashed in Qin Huaiyu's eyes.
Zhou Xuan said calmly, "You are the ones who are too persistent. I originally intended to let you go, but you are simply too greedy. Not only did you kill my family, but you also want to seize my family's treasures. You've enjoyed yourselves enough over the years, so go to the underworld and kneel to apologize to my Zhou family."
"Hmph! You speak beautifully, but do you really think you can get away unscathed? Do you think we're afraid of you? Do you think you can leave safely?" Qin Huaiyu said coldly.
Zhou Xuan replied indifferently, "Then how do you know I can't? If I can make your plans fail, I have ways to turn the tables and make your schemes completely fall apart."
"Haha! You're being too arrogant. I'm telling you, we're not three-year-old children. Do you think you can fool us that easily? I advise you to confess honestly now, what have you been doing behind our backs?" Qin Huaiyu asked coldly.
"Qin Huaiyu, why don't you try and see if you have the ability to pry a single word out of me?" Zhou Xuan sneered.
"The Qin family should accept their fate when they are outmatched. This is the retribution for your encirclement of the Zhou family back then!"
"What the Qin family is experiencing today is what you did to the Zhou family in the past."
"Such audacity! How dare you speak to us like that? Do you think you've already won today?" Qin Huaiyu roared in anger.
Zhou Xuan said calmly, "If you don't want to be threatened by me, then make your move. Regardless, after today, you will cease to exist."
"Presumptuous! Who do you think you are? Hurry up and kneel and admit your mistake!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed, her body trembled slightly, and then a strong sense of dizziness washed over her, making her vision go black.
Seeing this, a cold smile touched Zhou Xuan's lips.
"Zhou Xuan, what did you do?"
Zhou Xuan smiled but did not answer, instead walking towards Qin Huaiyu.
"You, don't come near me! I warn you, if you dare to act rashly, beware of my reprisal!" Qin Huaiyu said, putting on a brave front.
"Oh? How do you intend to deal with me?" Zhou Xuan asked playfully.
Fear flickered in Qin Huaiyu's eyes, "I, I'm telling you, if I die, you won't live either! I've invited Master Liaofa to help!"
Zhou Xuan scoffed, "So what if you invited him?"
Master Liaofa stepped out from the crowd.
"Well said, arrogant brat!"
Zhou Xuan narrowed his eyes.
This person!
Such a formidable realm!
He was many times stronger than himself.
He didn't think he could last more than ten moves against him!
No! He could probably force himself into a state where he couldn't move with just one finger.
Zhou Xuan was somewhat stunned.
Could it be... could he really be a Heaven-level expert?
Zhou Xuan took a deep breath.
At this moment, Master Liaofa had already begun to speak his second sentence.
He appeared to have a compassionate and merciful expression.
However, Zhou Xuan found it nauseating.
"What a master. I truly wonder if you have taken too many lives to seek refuge in Buddhism."
"My Buddha is merciful and willing to allow you all to attain transcendence in this life, henceforth free from illness or disaster, living in peace and prosperity, and enduring forever."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xuan felt his body sink.
Scenes flashed through his mind.
He was wearing a monk's robe, standing on a mountaintop, overlooking the entire world.
"Grandmaster Zhou, this is where you cultivate, and where we cultivate."
An old monk stood behind Zhou Xuan, his palms clasped in a smile.
Endless Buddhist scriptures continuously flowed from the bald monk's mouth.
Carrying a certain power to enchant people's hearts, it seemed that everyone who heard it would become desireless and passively accept their fate.
These words echoed repeatedly.
Zhou Xuan was trapped within them, unable to extricate himself for a long time.
At this moment, the old monk reached out and lightly patted Zhou Xuan's shoulders twice.
"Grandmaster Zhou, all sentient beings suffer. One should abandon the illusory and attain the real. Obsession with hatred is not conducive to cultivation."
"Old bald donkey, if you hadn't said that, I might have been deceived by your illusion!"
Zhou Xuan shouted!
He forcefully broke through the trap set by Master Liaofa.
The illusion lasted only about ten seconds before Zhou Xuan broke free.
Although this old bald donkey was a Heaven-tier realm expert,
How could he be so arrogant in front of him with just this?
"So disgusting!"
Zhou Xuan laughed, "You are not qualified to be arrogant with me."
"Heh, you are quite confident. I wonder how you manage to be so arrogant?"
"Because I have sufficient capital."
"Hahahaha..."
"Kid, it seems you are very confident. Then I will give you a reminder. Our Dharma family's cultivation technique is 'Boundless Dharma Power.' You should be careful, or you will die a terrible death."
"Your magic treasures have limitations each time you use them. After one use, you won't be able to use them again."
"Then let's settle this with our fists."
As soon as the words fell, the two of them moved.
Master Liaofa slammed his palms violently onto the ground, emitting a loud boom. He then tapped his toes on the ground, and his entire body leaped into the air.
"Whoosh!" He threw a punch, aiming directly for Zhou Xuan's face.
The fist whistled through the air, as if it could tear apart everything in its path.
"Bang!" Zhou Xuan swung his sword to block Master Liaofa's attack.
The two forces collided, erupting in a grating sound.
"Boom!" They both retreated a few steps, withdrawing their moves.
This exchange was a draw, with neither seeming to be able to overcome the other. However, Zhou Xuan knew that the strength of this old man from the Dharma family far surpassed his own.
In an instant.
Zhou Xuan didn't know what Master Liaofa had done.
He suddenly found himself unable to breathe.
It was as if the surrounding air had instantly been vacuumed out.
He was in an oxygen-deprived environment.
He clutched his collar tightly, gasping for air, his face turning purple within three seconds.
Qin Huaiyu watched him coldly.
"Zhou Xuan, this is your retribution. The Zhou family is dead, so why must you insist on revenge? Isn't it better to live well?"
"Zhou Xuan, you are just bringing suffering upon yourself now!"
"Do you know how your parents died?"
Qin Huaiyu spoke word by word, very calmly, as if these words occupied an unassailable moral high ground.
How dare this woman act like this?
The abuser, daring to question the victim?
