Nan Haoyuan wore a sinister smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. Killing Qin Yi's woman just like that would be unworthy of the title Blood Shura. Do you know what it means to wish for death over life? If not, once you fall into my hands, you'll soon find out."
Xia Yanbing showed no fear, looking coldly at the sinister-smiling Nan Haoyuan, her voice laced with disdain, "Your Hidden Family only has the skill to bully women, huh? My husband is known as the Blood Shura, yet he's never killed an innocent person. He wiped out the Fang Family and the Su Family but spared the old, the weak, and women and children.
He is called a Shura, yet has a compassionate heart. And you, looking human, but actually…"
Xia Yanbing left the sentence unfinished, merely shaking her head at last.
However, the faces of Nan Haoyuan and his companions turned so dark they seemed about to drip with water.
What they had hoped to see was Qin Yi's relatives bowing and scraping, pleading pitifully for mercy. Not someone like Xia Yanbing who remained unafraid.
Lei Bai snorted coldly and said in a frosty voice, "As expected of Qin Yi's woman, sharp-tongued. When you fall into my hands, I'll have your teeth pulled out one by one."
Xia Yanbing gave a faint smile; as long as her child with Qin Yi was safe, she feared not even death. So Lei Bai's words didn't scare her. Even if she felt fear inside, she would not show weakness in front of Qin Yi's enemies.
"What courage. A woman showing such mettle, still able to laugh, you'll cry eventually." Nan Haoyuan's eyes grew fierce.
"You really are a bunch of trash, only bullying women?" Vermilion Bird angrily declared, glaring at Lei Bai and Nan Haoyuan. "Have the guts to fight me, both of you together. Within three moves, if I don't beat you into dead dogs, I'll hand over my head."
Of course, Lei Bai and Nan Haoyuan dared not, for the two together couldn't withstand even a single move from Vermilion Bird. Moreover, with five ancestors present, there was no need for them to take risks.
Azure Dragon looked up at Nan Jiuyi and calmly said, "You are all long-famous figures. Considering your age, I'm afraid I should call you seniors. At your age, bullying the young would sound unpleasant if spread around, wouldn't it?
Would you kindly take pity and let these juniors leave? The four of us will surrender ourselves, how about that?"
Instantly, Xia Yanbing's pretty face turned pale, "Azure Dragon senior, you mustn't."
"Silence." Azure Dragon's face darkened as he reprimanded.
Xia Yanbing knew Azure Dragon had their best interests in mind, but if they survived thanks to someone's sacrifice, how could she explain it when she returned to Qin Yi?
Qin Yi is a man of deep emotion. If he were to learn that Azure Dragon sacrificed himself to save Xia Yanbing and others, he'd likely live in guilt for the rest of his life.
Azure Dragon looked at Nan Jiuyi and spoke again, "Senior, their cultivation cannot escape your eyes. To you, their strength is negligible. Moreover, several of them are ordinary people, posing no threat to you at all."
Nan Jiuyi pondered for a long time before saying blandly, "I didn't expect that for Qin Yi, the mighty Azure Dragon Guardian God would be willing to stake his own life."
"I just don't want too many innocent people to be sacrificed, that's all."
"Is that so?" Nan Jiuyi looked at Azure Dragon, then continued, "The more you do that, the more I cannot let them go. It's clear they are very important to Qin Yi. I need not explain the logic of eliminating the roots to you?"
Azure Dragon's eyes grew serious, "Let them go, and the four of us will submit. Your two families will still have a slim chance. If they die, I swear Qin Yi will eliminate your families completely, leaving no one alive.
I believe you know of the Blood Cloud Tower? You are clear on Xue Wuya's fate. I assure you, if they die, your outcome will be even more terrifying than Xue Wuya's."
Nan Jiuyi raged, "Are you threatening me?"
"I speak the truth," Azure Dragon said earnestly.
Nan Jiuyi squinted slightly, "So, they cannot be killed then."
"They cannot be killed," Azure Dragon replied.
Nan Jiuyi was silent for a moment, "If you can make Qin Yi appear now, I might consider sparing them. You're right, given their cultivation, they are no more threatening than ants to me."
Azure Dragon spoke stonily, "Qin Yi is not here. Since you have come, you should know his nature. If he were here, he would have shown himself by now."
"Where is he then?"
Azure Dragon shook his head, "No one knows Qin Yi's whereabouts."
Nan Jiuyi snorted coldly, "Azure Dragon, if you don't speak the truth, you may forfeit these people's lives."
"I am speaking the truth."
Nan Jiuyi stared at Azure Dragon for a while, then looked at Xia Yanbing, "You're Qin Yi's woman, surely you know where he is?"
Xia Yanbing looked at him icily, "Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you."
Nan Jiuyi suddenly smiled, saying nonchalantly, "You will speak, ants have no right to resist."
With those words, he slowly raised his hand and pressed downwards. Instantly, the air below twisted and folded into irregular shapes.
The car Liu Zhanyuan, Zhang Wenhao, Dong Zhiping, and Jin Wenchang were in had its roof caved in by a terrifying force, deforming the entire vehicle.
"If you don't tell, I'll let you watch them turn into minced meat," Nan Jiuyi declared.
Azure Dragon's expression changed dramatically. Just as he was about to act, a cold voice rang out, "Azure Dragon, if you make a move, I shall exterminate everyone here, including you. You should know, I can do it effortlessly."
The speaker was an ancestor from the Lei Family, named Lei Zhennan.
Azure Dragon clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. He wasn't afraid of death, but he couldn't just watch Liu Zhanyuan and the others die.
Nan Jiuyi looked at Xia Yanbing, "Will you speak or not?"
As he spoke, Nan Jiuyi's hand continued to press down, the entire car creaked and groaned under the pressure, deforming further.
"Shameless!" Xia Yanbing said angrily.
Inside the car, Liu Zhanyuan and the others were panicked. The roof had already collapsed, leaving them unable to straighten up.
Zhang Wenhao attempted to open the car door to escape, but the car had deformed, making the door unopenable.
"Boom, boom...!"
At that moment, several explosions sounded, and the car windows shattered.
Dong Zhiping kicked at the car door, but it wouldn't budge.
Xia Yanbing fumed angrily, "If you kill them, my husband won't let you off. You'll die a hundredfold more miserably than them."
Lei Bai laughed maliciously, "Ridiculous. Seems you've been too well protected by Qin Yi, you haven't the faintest idea what 'might makes right' means. Even if he were here, and I killed them in front of him, Qin Yi could only watch helplessly.
Do you really think your husband is invincible in the world? There are plenty who can kill him. In front of our ancestors, Qin Yi is no more than an insect, forget revenge, his own life would be hard to preserve. If the ancestor so wishes, he could stomp Qin Yi to death with just a lift of a foot."
