CHAPTER 273: CHAPTER 273: BREAKING THROUGH TO THE PEAK MARTIAL EMPEROR!

Ah? Teach you how to act?

Qin Zi was stunned for a moment, then roared in anger:

"You old bastard, taking advantage of others’ misfortune isn’t a skill. If you have the guts, fight my father fair and square!"

The Holy Hall Elder said calmly:

"This isn’t taking advantage of circumstances. Even in a fair fight, he wouldn’t be my match."

"In fact... he isn’t even qualified to make me take action."

Hearing this, Qin Zi’s heart ignited with a blazing fury; an old codger reaping the benefits so brazenly looked down on his father so!

He took a deep breath, then sneered coldly:

"Ha, who wouldn’t talk big after the fact? When the fight was intense, why didn’t you make a move?"

"If you’re scared, just admit it. Why make so many excuses? Do you think if you stick a scallion in a pig’s nose, you could pretend to be an elephant?!"

The Holy Hall Elder glanced at Qin Zi and replied indifferently, "Think as you like. Why should I care about the opinion of an ant?"

At his level, an ant at the Realm Emperor stage couldn’t stir his emotions.

"Ha, an ant?!"

Qin Zi sneered, and then his body began to glow, as if a blazing sun had been ignited, burning fiercely.

"Rumble!"

He grasped the ground with his hands, slowly pressing his arms to lift his body, like Sun Wukong trying to break free from the Five Finger Mountain.

"I, Qin Zi, a true Divine Body, stand tall amidst the ancients, shattering every limit along the way. And you call me an ant?"

He looked coldly at the Holy Hall Elder, his bones cracking, his posture straightening, until he finally stood upright.

"You old bastard, you’re just some years older than me, pretending to be a big deal. If we were born in the same era, I could suppress you effortlessly with one hand!"

"Hmm?!"

The Holy Hall Elder was suddenly startled.

The once indifferent eyes flashed with a cold gleam—this boy’s talent was so terrifying, leaving him would be a calamity.

However, he wasn’t in a hurry to act now, since by procedure, he’d better take this person back to the Holy Hall for questioning and sentencing.

Thus, he said nonchalantly, "Even if you were born in my era, unruly spawn like you would still be suppressed by the elders. Do you think you’d grow up?"

"Shut up!!"

Qin Zi sharply reprimanded, "At your age, still shamelessly taking advantage of others’ misfortune—what gives you the right to call me unruly?"

"You think you’re mighty, bullying a youngster like me gives you a sense of superiority and pride, doesn’t it?"

"However, this just shows you’re merely a waste! You can only bully youngsters like me because you have just that little ambition, that little courage, that little achievement!"

"To this old waste, I have one piece of advice for you... Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west, never belittle the youth’s poverty!!"

Boom!

An aura burst forth from him, piercing the sky like a Divine Sword, full of unwavering defiance.

"You!!"

The Holy Hall Elder was momentarily shocked by this sudden surge of energy, then his expression darkened.

"Humph, a mere ant dares act recklessly!"

He coldly snorted, and a more powerful pressure spread, instantly pinning Qin Zi to the ground.

However, with his cheeks pressed against the ground, Qin Zi’s face remained defiant, the mockery growing even thicker.

"Haha, old waste, I’ve hit your sore spot, haven’t I... No matter how you pretend today, I still look down on you!"

"I know, even if I beg, you wouldn’t spare us, so I can’t be bothered to show you a nice face."

"Today, falling into your hands, I accept the loss. But if I don’t die today, when I rise again, I’ll annihilate your entire clan!!"

Qin Zi had decided his fate.

Rather than die in disgrace, he would rather go out in a blaze of glory. As the saying goes, if you’re going to die, die daringly!

"Ha, mindless barking, do you think this would enrage me?"

The Holy Hall Elder sneered, seemingly admiring a clown, his eyes filled with pity and mockery.

"But... whether to congratulate you or pity you, your words have indeed sparked my killing intent."

"Initially, I planned to capture you for interrogation, but you, being a Divine Body with great fortune, are susceptible to changes... To prevent any further risks, I’ve decided... to execute you here and now!"

"Come on, I’m not afraid of you!!"

Qin Zi gritted his teeth, glaring defiantly, fearing nothing. If he had to die, he would die standing, not living on his knees—even if now he lay prone.

"Deserve to die."

The Holy Hall Elder snorted coldly, then a blood-red killing aura bloomed from his forehead, transforming into a massive blood blade slashing down toward Qin Zi.

Whoosh!

The blood blade spanned the sky, as if it could cleave the firmament. Never mind a mere Emperor; even a general Martial Emperor would face demise!

"Ah—"

Qin Zi shut his eyes tight, straining to lift his head, letting out a heartrending scream filled with deep unwillingness.

To think that he, Qin Zi, a Divine Body, no, a Super Divine Body, would fall like this—truly, the heavens envy talent!

If there were an afterlife, he would surely...

"Eh, I’m not dead?"

The next moment, he opened his eyes in disbelief, realizing that the massive blood blade had stopped above his head.

No!

To be precise, a familiar figure in white stood before him, raising that massive blood blade with one hand.

"Crack!"

The person’s right hand curved its fingers, and instantly, the blood blade shattered into pieces, dissipating into the sky as blood light vanished.

"Dad, you’re okay?!"

Qin Zi felt immense joy, the feeling as if after drinking Meng Po’s Soup, the ox-head and horse-face admitted to catching the wrong person.

"Injured, but still holding on."

Qin Chuan said calmly.

Upon closer inspection, Qin Zi noticed blood seeping from his father’s back, gradually staining the white robe.

"This!!"

Instantly, his face turned slightly pale, his heart agitated again.

Meanwhile, the Holy Hall Elder was greatly astonished, then sneered anew:

"I never expected you to break through at that moment, but you were already seriously injured, depleted of vitality. Even with breakthrough, it’s just a flash in the pan. If you don’t get replenishment, you’ll die faster."

"And I will not give you the chance for that!"

With that, he raised his right hand, directly striking towards Qin Chuan.

"Boom!"

With this strike, it seemed the world turned upside down, heaven and earth inverted, sun and moon discoloring!

This strike, form had turned to formless, no colossal hand in sight, only sheer power crushing in.

From all directions, penetrating every corner!

"Break!"

Qin Chuan punched toward the sky, likewise flipping the world; it seemed to set the chaotic space right again before a loud boom resonated.

"Scuff—"

The sky, like a frozen river, split open, revealing a space crack stretching a thousand meters, permeating with Chaos Energy.

"Buzz! Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Qin Zi only saw a shadow flash before his eyes, then a series of intense clashes erupted in the sky. Space continuously exploded into black holes, as if black suns were constantly blooming, great sound in silence.

"Boom—"

In the end, the sky within several kilometers shattered like a mirror, cracks spreading at the edges, also sinking inward.

An angry roar echoed from the dark void.

"Wait for me!!"

Then the massive dark void vanished rapidly as if time reversed, and the sky returned to its original state.

"Let’s go."

Qin Chuan landed in front of Qin Zi, and before he could utter a word, spat a mouthful of blood, collapsing to the ground.

"Dad!"

Qin Zi was at a loss, panicking endlessly.

"This place is dangerous, we must leave quickly."

The voice of a blonde woman sounded, and she directly took control of Qin Zi’s body, carried Qin Chuan, and flew toward the Beast Race’s territory.
