Night Without End-Chapter 396 - 240 Pure Newcomer
Chapter 396: Chapter 240 Pure Newcomer
The expert from the Cui family, with half of his body missing, was covered in blood from head to toe, struggling in agony.
His Consciousness Spiritual Light was even more distorted, enveloped in a black flame that turned him to ash in an instant.
He collapsed onto the grass, dying in an extremely tragic manner.
The members of the Cui family were both shocked and apprehensive, as that black flame seemed to be a type of Heavenly Light Force that instantly destroyed the Spiritual Field of a Third Realm expert.
"Who is it? Come out!" An elder from the Cui family stared in the direction where the gray shadow had disappeared.
The world had changed, the sun had disappeared for thousands of years, and some noble families had existed since the rise of the "Skills", coexisting with the Immortal Road and Esoteric Path.
The Cui family is considered an old noble family, aiming for immortality and coexistence with various paths, to become a truly Evergreen family.
The members of the Cui family present were initially quite proud, but ended up experiencing two horrific dramas back to back.
In the distance, a gray-robed old man walked over, with wide, fluttering sleeves, and a few strands of hair fluttering on his head, looking extremely old, with a face full of wrinkles.
The Cui family members sensed danger; the Newborn Road was very "feeding" on age, the more decrepit an old man looked, the more dangerous he was.
"May I ask who you are?" Cui Cheng asked, trying to control his emotional fluctuations, as the Cui family had suffered quite a loss this time.
The members of the Cui family speculated whether this could be an old monster from an ancestral court on the Newborn Road?
"An old relic of the Newborn Road, wandering through the world." Yu Gen Sheng came closer.
He coldly swept his gaze over the Cui family, saying, "Thousand-year-old family, such a big aura, not going to slay demons, but targeting their own people here!"
Cui Cheng smiled faintly, saying, "Senior, you jest. Demons should naturally be eliminated, and as for now, these are just some small matters within our Cui family, not rising to the level of targeting our own people."
Bang!
Yu Gen Sheng charged forward, then flicked his large sleeve, sending him flying through the air.
In an instant, Cui Cheng spat out a mouthful of blood, his Consciousness Spiritual Light nearly collapsing.
He was horrified, as there was still some distance between them, and the other party hadn’t touched him. Just a slight brush of that black flame had such power.
"Who is joking now?" Yu Gen Sheng looked at him with a solemn face.
As he spoke, he advanced, saying, "Are you playing lip service with me? Infighting, dragging down each other, you did it, yet you don’t admit it!"
"Friend, let’s talk it over!" Cui Changming spoke, stepping forward, as the Cui family members were either killed or dealt with, all of them feeling humiliated.
"Who’s calling you a friend to discuss with? Stand aside!" Yu Gen Sheng was very angry.
If he hadn’t come, these people would certainly have abducted Qin Ming, ultimately either killing him or disabling him, with no good outcome.
"Child, are you alright?" He looked at Qin Ming, immediately displaying a kind smile, his concern evident on his face.
The Cui family members were so annoyed, realizing that this stern-faced old man could also smile, like a dead tree meeting spring, sprouting and blooming gloriously.
"Senior, I’m fine." Qin Ming felt warm inside, crucially a senior from Shanhai Academy had rushed over at the right moment.
"Are you really alright?" Yu Gen Sheng nearly checked his bones on the spot, extremely concerned and nervously attentive.
Qin Ming nodded, saying, "Mm, they travelled across a thousand miles to hand over their heads, the True Scripture as an addition, I’m perfectly fine."
Instantly, the eyes of the Cui family members turned cold and severe.
Yu Gen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, he along with Zhao Ziyan had witnessed everything just now, and it had truly infuriated them.
At the same time, he was filled with fear, recalling a similar tragedy that happened more than a hundred years ago, and he was determined not to let it happen again.
The Cui family members watched from the side, their faces ashen, not saying a word, feeling an immense frustration and anger.
This old fellow not only killed two of their people but also came over and directly provoked them, a little too overbearing.
"Were you hiding over there, waiting to strike at the right moment?" Yu Gen Sheng turned his head, looking not far away.
Even now, some members of the Cui family were still hidden, lurking in the grassy meadows under the Night Fog, but they couldn’t escape the eyes of the senior from the Newborn Road.
Yu Gen Sheng moved like a night bird across the sky, instantly appearing in front, grabbing a Cui elder out.
"You... let me go." The elder struggled without strength to resist, like a chick, caught in the opponent’s hand.
In an instant, black light flowed around Yu Gen Sheng, strands upon strands, constructing a black hand from Heavenly Light that, with a squelch, crushed the Cui elder.
The Cui family was shocked and angry, this old fellow was truly unchecked and unscrupulous, killing another of their people.
Cui Changming said in a deep voice, "Friend, you’ve gone too far, our Cui family doesn’t provoke trouble, but we don’t fear it either, our clan still has some great experts who can fend off external threats!"
Yu Gen Sheng said, "He intended to assassinate the up-and-comer of my Newborn Road in the dark, deserved to die. Tell me, which of the three I killed shouldn’t have died?"
The Cui family had always been strong, but today they met an old fellow even more overbearing than them, and for the first two killed they could disregard, but the third had been lurking and was crushed!
"He hadn’t even acted!" Cui Cheng spoke.
Yu Gen Sheng said coldly, "Should I wait until he successfully assassinates the genius of my Newborn Road and then take action?"
He pointed at the Memory Crystal he wore, "I’ve recorded all your previous contemptible faces, even if I killed you all, it wouldn’t be unjust!"
"Who are you really?" Cui Changming couldn’t hold back, as someone who had one foot into the Fourth Realm, he was furious, being bullied like this was something the Cui family hadn’t experienced in a long time.
"You still want to pick a fight with me? I’m Yu Gen Sheng from Shanhai Academy." He announced his name.
Cui Changming’s expression changed. Qin Ming had actually joined Kunleng Academy instead of entering those great sects’ ancestral courts.
In his view, this was a sensible choice.
Those ancestral courts had almost become the personal dojos of certain elders and noble families.
Whenever the forefathers of these sects emerged from seclusion, they were furious, wishing they could start anew.
A newcomer entering there without the backing of a noble family or the favor of the sect elders wouldn’t be able to make a splash.
If they found out he mastered the Silk Scripture, some elders would likely be even more eager than the Cui family.
It seemed the forefathers supported Kunleng’s academies from behind the scenes, intending to start afresh.
In fact, similar events had occurred in the Outer World and Esoteric Buddhism.
For years, some great families sent their children into different Taoist factions to ensure their family’s prosperity.
Once long ago, a thousand-year-old family was wiped out, but their members emerged from the Outer World, raised the flag again, and revived the family.
"Are you trying to weigh this old man?" Yu Gen Sheng asked.
Cui Changming immediately shook his head, saying, "No, I admire you. The seniors of Kunleng Academy are pure cultivators, unlike the complicated nature of the great ancestral courts!"
Yu Gen Sheng shook his head, saying, "Your words are insincere, filled with hostility."
Cui Changming thought: You’ve even killed my family members, am I not allowed to harbor deep hatred?
He had already realized he was far from being a match for this person.
At this moment, Zhao Ziyan appeared, equally weary, his large sleeves billowing as he walked over.
"Senior!" Qin Ming immediately greeted.
"It’s alright." Zhao Ziyan smiled warmly.
Then he turned and looked ahead, saying, "Old Yu, you’ve already killed half of them; are you leaving these three remaining?"
"I... curse the mud!" The remaining three of the Cui family cursed inwardly, feeling terrified. Was this going to wipe them out entirely?
They were supposed to be strong all the way, but today’s encounter filled their chests with such frustration that they were about to vomit blood.
Cui Changming said, "You two, my Cui family has truly top experts stationed on the highlands. We have already sent word, even if we die, the news will reach them."
"Are you threatening us?" Zhao Ziyan spoke up.
Yu Gen Sheng said, "The Cui family has a vast population. As a thousand-year-old family, even the direct lineage occupies a giant city. The death of a few of you is nothing. This old man takes action today only to express an attitude: the talents we care about on the Newborn Road, your Cui family should not touch."
Zhao Ziyan nodded, saying, "Otherwise, though your Cui family is large, if we seek crazy revenge, we definitely won’t lose out!"
Qin Ming heard this, and his blood boiled. The two elders, for his sake, didn’t hesitate to say such words, standing up to the Cui family, even ready to confront them, which moved him greatly!
"Two seniors, let’s put an end to today’s events and leave immediately!" Cui Cheng spoke up.
"We’ve already killed half. I don’t think we should stop halfway." Yu Gen Sheng said.
"Let me do it!" Zhao Ziyan moved like a ghost across the grassland, and with a loud boom, he unleashed his sleeves, shattering Cui Cheng to pieces.
"You..." Another elder was utterly terrified; the Cui family’s golden reputation was useless. Someone wanted to extinguish them completely.
Zhao Ziyan moved as fast as lightning, arriving in an instant. The surrounding space blurred, imprisoning the old man, and in a twist of the force field, the elder was turned into a blood pulp.
"Please stop, I represent the Cui family to negotiate with you!" Cui Changming shouted, cold sweat on his forehead. He never imagined such a situation would occur.
"You’re not qualified to negotiate with us!" Yu Gen Sheng said.
Zhao Ziyan said, "We kill you today only to clarify our stance!"
Cui Changming fled, but Yu Gen Sheng moved as fast as lightning, covering him in Black Flame Sky Light, seemingly turning into an abyss, sealing him inside.
Zhao Ziyan said, "As planned, leave the rest to me."
"Alright, it’s yours." Yu Gen Sheng shook the Black Flame Sky Light, and Cui Changming, deformed beyond recognition, flew out.
With a bang, in mid-air, he was torn apart by Zhao Ziyan’s twisted force field, turning into a blood rain.
Qin Ming was stunned, as those who posed life-or-death threats to him had disappeared in an instant, highlighting the overwhelming strength of the two seniors!
At this moment, he desperately yearned to grow stronger and truly grasp his destiny.
Calming down, he sighed. The two elders had done too much for him, possibly at great risk to themselves.
He knew well that the Cui family was indeed powerful, with a terrifying foundation. The two old men alone weren’t enough to face a thousand-year-old family.
"Don’t worry about us; those with bare feet aren’t afraid of those with shoes. They have a vast empire, but if we provoke them enough, poking holes in their territory will cause long-lasting pain."
"Indeed, we don’t have much time left in our lives, so what’s there to fear?!"
The two elders spoke, appearing indifferent.
Qin Ming looked at their aging and withered bodies, feeling a pang of sadness, "Two seniors..."
"Child, you don’t need to say anything!"
"Alas, over a hundred years ago, the exceptionally gifted Overlord met a tragic end, brutally slain by Cao Qianqiu, and we were powerless to stop it for lack of strength at that level. In this era, we see hope again with talents like yours emerging. We won’t allow such tragedies to repeat. We’ll protect you with our lives if necessary!"
