Night Without End-Chapter 393 - 237: Old Cui’s Heartache

Qin Ming realized that the problem was quite serious; only those who understood and had studied him could find him.

Just like at the Luofu Immortal Mountain Ruins, Wang Caiwei recognized him through details.

Qin Ming frowned deeply; the Cui Family was fully targeting him, wanting to completely eliminate him.

There were many spirit birds in the sky above the highland, delivering messages, most of which carried memory crystals.

The Blood of Auspicious Beast attracted all parties to fight, and the Cui Family confirmed he was extraordinary. They would come here and quickly pinpoint a small pool of suspicious targets based on his striking achievements.

Among the Newcomers, the number of youths who showed extraordinary performance was limited; a few stood out at once.

"It seems I was careless; the Cui Family is filtering through my gestures, habitual actions, etc.,"

Back then, Wang Caiwei could "understand him thoroughly" through subtle information provided by the Wang family.

The Cui Family had people serving him in his daily life and too many "relatives" who could provide more detailed "details."

Obviously, the specific images recorded by the spirit birds with memory crystals were carefully compared by the Cui Family, making it easy to sift through from a small pool of people.

He could change his appearance to fool outsiders, but he couldn’t hide from observant "relatives."

Carefully thinking, as long as Qin Ming came to the highland to fight and performed astonishingly, he would be like "a needle in a bag." If those who knew him well looked into it, not discovering him would be abnormal.

However, why did the Cui Family suddenly become so "interested" in him?

Qin Ming felt a chill in his heart; it was likely that some of his "achievements" were exposed, making them restless and sensing some threat.

Indeed, the Cui Family determined that he had been killing the Mysterious Blood Old Demon at the world’s edge, which was way beyond his level.

"Moreover, are they suspecting that I have mastered the Silk Scripture?" Qin Ming knew this matter would be exposed sooner or later.

The more extraordinary he performed, the more suspicious the Cui Family would become. After all, he previously had no contact with Ru Lai power, Yuqing Power, etc.

Only the Silk Scripture, which he had been practicing since childhood.

The spirit birds carried memory crystals, and observant acquaintances could detect that his Heavenly Light Force was not one of those famous kinds.

After all, Qingtian, Tathagata, Six Imperial, etc., were known to all under heaven.

By eliminating the few most powerful Jin Techniques in the world, everything else could be traced.

Starting with the Heavenly Light Force, the Cui Family could make significant discoveries.

Qin Ming reflected that his recent path had been too smooth, making him a bit careless.

In fact, being cautious would be useless. As long as his performance astonished the highland, anyone with some sense would notice.

...

"It’s really you!" Cui Changkong said weakly, with a gaping hole through his chest from front to back.

Qin Ming did not conceal, his words and actions said it all.

"Your grandson misses you."

Such a flat sentence broke Cui Changkong’s composure, his temple veins bulged, and his body trembled slightly.

He suppressed his turmoil, not wanting to die yet, and wanted revenge for his grandson.

He took a deep breath, calming himself, hoping to buy some time.

"You had a chance at Black and White Mountain, mastering the Silk Scripture, and even obtained the Empty Spirit Bamboo Shoot." At this moment, Cui Changkong resented Cui Qi too.

Qin Ming was speechless, the Cui Family actually believed it.

They thought he wasn’t bound by the restriction of five rebirths a year, as Meng Xinghai said, he must have consumed the Empty Spirit Bamboo Shoot.

Qin Ming laughed; even if he told them his innate talent was such that no checkpoint on the Newborn Road could block him, they probably wouldn’t believe it either.

He didn’t waste time, brandishing the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade and closing in, saying, "Sending you on your way!"

Cui Changkong’s face turned pale and livid alternately; normally, he should be looking down on a junior in the Second Realm.

But now, it was a teenager who was treating him lightly! frёeωebɳovel.com

His body quickly transformed into a powerful Wangyue Rhinoceros.

He was on the Mutated Path, able to transform into a demon.

Qin Ming was slightly stunned, then understood. The old guy had only half a heart left, with a significant drop in power, now adopting a conservative strategy, waiting for backup.

Cui Changkong looked at the treasure sword in his hand, white as jade, extremely fearful, afraid of being beheaded; now with his massive physique, thick skin, and coarse flesh, he could take a few hits without worry.

"Since you want to suffer, I’ll make it happen." Qin Ming moved like a ghost through the night fog, disappearing step by step, moving too fast.

He circled Cui Changkong, swinging the blade, the white blade body like a beautifully carved jade, swirling with colorful mist. Each slash drew blood flowers.

Cui Changkong, of course, wasn’t just taking hits. Special runes shimmered on his coarse rhinoceros hide, and the horn on his head shot beams, aiming to kill the opponent instantly.

However, lacking half a heart, each time he summoned energy, his body was overwhelmed and couldn’t bear it.

And each time he exerted strength, the hole in his chest, where it burned through, spewed blood.

Cui Changkong foresaw no escape from death, said, "Qin Ming, you ungrateful junior, without my Cui Family, could you be what you are now?"

Qin Ming’s face immediately darkened, wanting to retort: I should thank your ancestors for eight generations!

He attacked like lightning, speed accelerating again, instantly circling the Wangyue Rhinoceros, slashing twenty-eight consecutive times, as swift as a ghost.

Every slash drew blood. In a blink, in a blink, the thick-skinned giant rhinoceros bore large cracks, continuously gushing blood.

Cui Changkong was in unbearable pain, this was like executing him by a thousand cuts.

Qin Ming disappeared step by step, swinging the long blade nonstop, in an instant, the Wangyue Rhinoceros was being stripped of meat, bones exposed, like a butcher slaughtering.

Cui Changkong howled miserably, regretting, rather dying a swift death; this was live punishment!

With a clang, his rhinoceros horn was severed, and his Taoist power was almost entirely destroyed.

Qin Ming stood on his back, raising the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade, the brilliant blade light shot towards the sky.

Then, he swung the blade downwards, with a splat, a huge head fell to the ground, blood spurted out, and Cui Changkong died in excruciating pain.

This was Qin Ming’s first time killing a Third Realm master in full glory, which held extraordinary significance for him.

No matter what methods were used, in the end, the past grievances he endured, the shadow in his heart gradually dissipated.

Under the night sky, an Iron Arrow pierced through the air, another spirit bird exploded, a blood rain dyed feathers fell.

Qin Ming eliminated all the "witnesses" nearby.

After efficiently cleaning up the battlefield, he left without looking back.

Among those he killed, Cui Chongsheng had the most exceptional status, being the legitimate grandson of Fifth Master Cui.

"Old man, you bullied me in my youth, today I’ll make you heartbroken!"

Qin Ming could imagine how dark Cui Lao wu’s face would be upon receiving the news.

In fact, just a few months ago, Fifth Master Cui intended to act against him, but was stopped by Li Qingyun.

He left after the matter was resolved, feeling a bit of relief.

...

A small group of masters including Cui Changming and Cui Cheng received urgent intelligence.

Cui Changkong’s group was the first to go, judging by the timing, they should have encountered each other by now and results would be imminent.

At the same time, they were aware that at least three groups were heading there, all radical elements.

"Why do I feel a bit uneasy, something must be wrong?" Cui Cheng frowned, sensing something was amiss.

"There might be a problem, some spirit birds were shot, and the remaining ones dared not approach that area!"

"Hurry and investigate clearly!"

The expressions of Cui Changming, Cui Cheng, and others changed.

Sure enough, bad news came!

A Lightning Sparrow approached that area, finding bloodstains everywhere, the headless body of a Wangyue Rhinoceros lying on the ground.

"They... are all dead?"

"Changkong was beheaded, Fifth Brother’s legitimate grandson Chongsheng was also killed, our Cui family members didn’t die at the hands of demons, but at his hand?" Cui Changming’s fingers turned blue with rage.

They knew that Cui Lao wu would surely be furious, as Cui Chongsheng was his very beloved legitimate grandson, he might personally step out of the family to settle the score.

"He’s just how old, has he been on the Newborn Road for even ten months? It’s absolutely impossible for him to achieve that step, there must be someone protecting him!"

They didn’t believe that this was something Qin Ming could do.

Just a single Cui Changkong was an insurmountable "Heroic Pass" for him!

They concluded that there was a great expert following behind Qin Ming.

"Can you contact the others? Stop them immediately, don’t let them get close!" Cui Changming said, then glared fiercely at Cui Cheng.

"It’s too late, by timing, the other group should also be near him now."

Cui Cheng was apprehensive, already regretting it.

Older figures like Cui Changming felt heartache, it was truly improper for Cui family members to be bleeding on the highlands in such a way, there can’t be any more deaths.

Actually, the more you fear something, the more it tends to happen.

At this moment, deep within the vast grassland, several corpses lay beneath Qin Ming’s feet, the white Jade Iron Blade dripping with blood, four young men had already fallen, their bodies separated.

A middle-aged man was still alive, but barely hanging on, having lost his fighting ability, a large hole with scorch marks was present on his chest and abdomen.

Unquestionably, Qin Ming repeated his trick, using Heavenly Light to briefly merge with the Star Fire Essence, critically injuring his opponent.

The middle-aged man Cui Qing, who had pale green hair, had already stepped into the Third Realm—the Spirit Field realm in his forties, making him quite exceptional.

Upon meeting, he reached out towards Qin Ming, believing that even if the young man before him had practiced Silk Scripture, not even a deity reborn could withstand his strike.

However, reality was cruel, his extended hand was gone, and his body was transparent from front to back.

Qin Ming recognized these people, was quite familiar with some, but since they were opposed, he had to act ruthlessly.

If not for Cui Qing’s unusual hair color, he would have already been beheaded by him.

Qin Ming looked at his green hair, knowing what cultivation technique he practiced.

Suddenly, his eyes burned, attempting to seize the True Scripture.

"You brat, do you still delude yourself into getting the ’Zhu Shi Scripture’? Dream on!" Cui Qing was very uncooperative.

The Zhu Shi Scripture, renowned in the Yewu World, known after the "Yimu Scripture," surpassing the realm of Miracle Technique, is a Secret Scripture.

It was famous not just for the various Miao Techniques recorded, but mainly because if mastered, it can extend life for "half a lifetime"!

Despite it being extremely hard to learn, even some ancestors were studying it.

Among them, the originator of the Cui family closed off for two hundred years due to his thorough research of the "Zhu Shi Scripture," yet was able to emerge alive.

Qin Ming struck his face with the flat of the blade, instantly distorting that face, teeth flying out.

In an instant, Cui Qing flew into a rage, his emotions fluctuating violently.

"It’s not like I haven’t practiced before." Qin Ming took the opportunity to "guide," reciting the "Zhu Shi Scripture" aloud.

In the past, in Chixia City, he won six or seven pages of scriptures from Cui He and Cui Shuning.

In the distance, a Thunder Falcon was reporting, "It’s not good, the second squad encountered that young man, after a brief conflict, that area went silent again."

Suddenly, Cui Cheng, Cui Changming, and other Middle Cui and Old Cui figures speculated, each feeling deeply pained.
