Chapter 682: Brothers Reunite, But Take Different Sides — That’s Bullsh*t!!!
"Big Stupid Elephant, kill her!!!"
With that command.
From the collapsed building ruins, with a thunderous crash, a tall figure smashed through the broken walls and debris, charging forward.
The sheer terror of his physical body, the aura of fleshly malevolence continuously spewing forth, splattering onto the surrounding structures like sandblasting, riddling the hard concrete walls with countless holes, gradually dissolving them away.
Shen Qixue also knew how formidable this Big Stupid Elephant was.
In a direct physical confrontation, it was disadvantageous for her.
She immediately circulated her Qi to respond, a cold river crashing against the shore, a suspended moon hanging high.
This was the origin of Shen Qixue's nickname "Cold River Reflecting Moon," and also her Anomalous Phenomenon.
Even though Shen Qixue's cultivation realm was one level lower than Big Stupid Elephant's.
She was, after all, a genius.Her Anomalous Phenomenon spread out, and she fearlessly collided with him.
For a moment, shockwaves erupted in all directions, blowing away sand and stones. The two were actually evenly matched, neither gaining the upper hand.
On the roof of a distant tall building.
Lu Ding watched this scene, his gaze then falling on Xiao Jingbai, who was blocking Shen Qixue's retreat path.
He suddenly said, "You know him?"
Lu Ding had arrived just as Big Stupid Elephant launched his attack on Shen Qixue.
Originally, he intended to enter the fray directly, like kicking a stray dog on the roadside, randomly kicking one to death.
But the moment he landed, Qin Jinghao beside him exclaimed in a surprised tone.
"Jingbai?"
Hearing this, Lu Ding was in no hurry to act.
Although Qin Jinghao had passed the first review, and his general background seemed fine, the finer details hadn't been thoroughly investigated yet.
Now, someone he knew was actually mingling with the Fierce Pursuit Hall.
So, Lu Ding decided to test his stance.
Qin Jinghao's brows furrowed together, and he responded in a low voice, "Reporting to the Grand Guardian, he is my fellow disciple, my martial brother. We came down the mountain together, we grew up together."
At this moment, his mood was rather poor.
He had repeatedly warned him not to get too close to people from the Fierce Pursuit Hall, yet in the blink of an eye, Xiao Jingbai ended up in the Path of Dry Bones with Fierce Pursuit Hall members, trying to seize territory.
Engaging in illegal and disorderly activities.
Lu Ding stood beside him, arms crossed. "So after coming down the mountain, you went your separate ways. He chose to be a bandit, and you chose to be an official?"
This sentence wasn't just a question.
It was also a test.
Qin Jinghao wasn't stupid;
he understood.
His heart tangled in knots.
Before Lu Ding could say more.
He directly pressed down.
Exploding his Qi continuously in the air to propel himself forward, blasting rings of air waves.
But Lu Ding's voice, though spoken later, arrived at his ear first: "That girl is a 749 investigator. I don't want to see her suffer any grievances."
If they weren't working together, that would be one thing.
But since they were working together, and Shen Qixue had agreed to join White Ridge 749, then, provided she made no mistakes, Lu Ding would absolutely not let her suffer the slightest grievance.
Of course.
It wasn't just Shen Qixue;
it was the same for everyone.
On the battlefield below.
As a genius, although Shen Qixue temporarily held off Big Stupid Elephant, maintaining a stalemate.
Her realm, after all, was only at the Three Restrictions, one level lower than Big Stupid Elephant's, and she was already injured.
She had explosive power to spare, but lacked staying power.
A heavy pressure gradually pushed back, forcing her footing to loosen, about to step back to dissipate the force.
At the critical moment.
Qin Jinghao, his anger boiling over, frustrated at his brother's failure to meet expectations, descended from the sky without any force dissipation, smashing down hard.
Qi gathered in his palm, he roared with furious voice: "Life-Hastening Palm!!!"
He directly imprinted a palm strike onto the crown of Big Stupid Elephant's head.
His appearance was a sudden development, catching everyone present off guard.
Of course, this included Big Stupid Elephant, who was currently pressing hard against Shen Qixue's offensive.
Light spilled from his palm, illuminating the path between life and death, the withering and flourishing of heaven and earth.
This move severed vitality!!!
It slammed hard onto Big Stupid Elephant's head.
Like a silver vase shattering, water bursting forth, the skull exploded, brain matter flew.
Just like a bursting watermelon.
The transmitted force directly smashed Big Stupid Elephant's body into the ground.
Only the headless corpse from the waist up remained, standing upright on the ground.
Looking at Qin Jinghao, who had suddenly appeared, killed with one cruel, sure-kill blow, taking Big Stupid Elephant's life.
Both Jiang Ren and Xiao Jingbai widened their eyes in disbelief.
"Jing... Jinghao, you..."
"Shut up!!!!"
Qin Jinghao turned his head, his eyes already bloodshot, glaring angrily at his former good brother.
"Didn't I tell you, don't mix with people from the Fierce Pursuit Hall? Why didn't you listen to me!!?"
"He just treated you to a good meal, bought you a couple of nice outfits. If there's a kindness, we remember it, but why did you have to mix with them, even wearing Fierce Pursuit Hall clothes!"
"They are bandits, bandits!!!!"
As he said this, the shoulder insignias on Qin Jinghao's shoulders were particularly glaring.
Xiao Jingbai understood at this moment that Qin Jinghao had successfully joined the 749.
A bitter expression rose on his face. "Jinghao, you have your aspirations, and I have the life I want."
"Grand Guardian Jiang treats me very well, and I like the atmosphere in the Fierce Pursuit Hall too. I'm not your appendage, I'm not your follower. I have my own thoughts."
"But since we were little, I've always been doing things according to your wishes. When we were on the mountain, I wanted to sleep, you wanted to catch fish, so I went fishing with you."
"I wanted to admire the flowers, you wanted to break the flowers, so I broke the flowers with you."
"There are many things like this. It was always me going along with you. You never once asked me if I was willing!!!!"
Xiao Jingbai grew more agitated as he spoke.
Qin Jinghao violently stomped, cracking the earth as he pressed forward: "You're talking bullshit!!!!"
Swinging his fist, carrying immense momentum, he threw a heavy punch directly at Xiao Jingbai's chin, sending him tumbling away.
"Every time we did anything, I asked for your opinion. Every single time you said, 'It's fine,' 'Whatever.'"
"Your nature is weak, you're indecisive. If I don't make decisions, who will? If you didn't want to, you could have said so!!"
"Right, you're not my appendage, you're not my follower, you're my brother!"
"My temper is impatient and forceful, but which time you got into trouble wasn't me taking the blame for you!!?"
"Master's fish died under your care, you didn't dare admit it. It was me, I voluntarily took the punishment for you, knelt for seven days and seven nights, and I was only six years old then!"
"Master's alchemy furnace exploded because of you, I took the blame for that too. For that, I sifted sand in the river for a year!"
"And you, to save a rabbit, killed the Mountain Lord's youngest son. You said the rabbit shouldn't die, but was the Mountain Lord's son, hunting because he was hungry, supposed to die? The Mountain Lord came to Master demanding justice!"
"It was me again, I took the hit for you. Three knives, six holes pierced my body, drawing blood, and I even acknowledged the Mountain Lord as my godfather. I don't even fucking know who my real father is, and I acknowledged him as my godfather, all to take the fall for you!"
"Yes, you're not my follower, you're not my appendage, but every single one of your messes, I took the blame for them!!!"
