CHAPTER 592: CHAPTER 592: CERTAIN DEATH

"Fine, as long as you spare my life, everything I have is yours."

Zhengtian Zhan, eager to survive, was about to take off the protective armor from his body. However, he paused in the next second.

"What’s wrong? Regretting it?" Qin Yi squinted slightly.

Zhengtian Zhan stared at Qin Yi, silent for a long time. In terms of cultivation, he was definitely not Qin Yi’s opponent. This protective armor was his lifeline. If he gave the armor to Qin Yi, and Qin Yi later changed his mind and wanted to kill him, wouldn’t it be akin to sticking his head under Qin Yi’s executioner’s blade?

"Qin Yi, I’ve heard of your name long ago and even investigated you. Your reputation isn’t very good."

According to his investigation, Qin Yi was insidious, deceitful, cruel, and vicious. He even had titles such as shameless and not green with envy. Such a character was really hard to trust.

Qin Yi couldn’t help but touch his nose awkwardly and said angrily, "If you’re going to back out, just say so. Stop tarnishing my character. I, Qin Yi, have always been open and aboveboard, and have always kept my promises. If you dare humiliate me again, even if you don’t reconsider, I will."

Zhengtian Zhan trembled slightly, "If I hand over this Willow Leaf Silver Cold Silver Armor to you, I will lose my last protection. Your cultivation is strong. If you want to kill me, wouldn’t it become even easier?"

Qin Yi sneered, "Even if you wear that Willow Leaf armor now, killing you would be as easy as taking something out of my pocket. Do you have the qualifications to bargain with me? I hold the knife, and you are the fish."

Zhengtian Zhan’s gaze wavered. He hesitated to give it because he feared Qin Yi would backtrack, leaving him without even his last protection. But if he didn’t give it, even with the Willow Leaf Cold Silver Armor, he couldn’t be sure he’d escape from Qin Yi. Truly a dilemma.

"Looks like there’s only one fight left between us." Qin Yi squinted his eyes, a cold light flashing.

Zhengtian Zhan was chilled to the bone. The intense killing intent in Qin Yi’s eyes made him tremble, "Alright, I’ll give it to you, but I hope you keep your word."

Qin Yi was slightly stunned, then the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. He slowly extended his hand, "Bring it over."

Zhengtian Zhan, trembling, prepared to take off the Willow Leaf Cold Silver Armor to give to Qin Yi. Actually, he didn’t want to kill. If he didn’t hand it over, death was certain. But if he gave it, perhaps he could still save his life.

"Don’t, don’t give it to him..." A weak voice suddenly rang out, stopping Zhengtian Zhan’s action.

Qin Yi and Zhengtian Zhan looked towards the voice and saw it was Nan ZaiXu embedded in the stone wall.

"You’re really tenacious, refusing to die even like this." Qin Yi’s eyes were indifferent, his words full of sarcasm.

Nan ZaiXu’s mouth was filled with lines of blood, and he glared venomously at Qin Yi, "You kill me today, and in the future, you will pay a thousand-fold price."

"The Nan family in the northeastern Dragon Scale Mountain Range has great power and indeed has the capital for revenge. But how do you know it won’t be your Nan family that’s defeated, instead of me, Qin Yi?"

"I, Qin, believe I have the ability to turn decay into magic, making the impossible possible. Looking at your mindset, the Nan family cannot be kept. In the coming time, I will endeavor to deal with the Nan family. Perhaps, in the near future, you can reunite with your family underground."

Nan ZaiXu’s eyes almost condensed into a point, venomous as a poison snake.

Qin Yi’s mouth slightly curved, "Don’t look at me with those eyes. If it weren’t for you using my name to recruit renowned young powerhouses and harbor malice against my family, you wouldn’t have ended up in this plight today. Perhaps we could have really become friends, discussing philosophy over tea."

"However, you touched the bottom line of Qin. Therefore, you definitely cannot be allowed to stay."

"My great ambition in this life is to protect my family, and secondly, to protect the world."

Nan ZaiXu’s eyes were complex, filled with unwillingness and regret, but he realized it was all too late.

He looked at Zhengtian Zhan, "Do not take off the armor, or you will surely die. You don’t understand Qin Yi’s insidious nature. This person is notorious in Longxia; his reputation is infamous, as you might have heard."

"This person has destroyed sects and families, cruel and ruthless. He used a feigned death to lure us out and designed to slaughter us all here. You should understand his methods. If you take off the armor, death is certain."

"Zhengtian Zhan, we no longer have the chance to live. But you do. Do not take off the armor; a desperate struggle might leave a sliver of hope. As long as you escape, expose Qin Yi’s evil deeds to the public. Otherwise, we will be buried here forever, and no one will know the truth. We will all die without closure."

Zhengtian Zhan’s eyes flickered, his mind undecided.

"Zhengtian Zhan, as a man is about to die, his words are kind. If you take off the armor, death is certain. Believe me, Qin Yi won’t spare you. Anyone he’s set his eyes on has never had a good end. Think about the Zhi family in your Southern Country..." Nan ZaiXu howled frantically, mouth gushing blood.

Zhengtian Zhan shuddered violently, a ferocious gleam appearing in his eyes. Nan ZaiXu was right; those who offended Qin Yi never had a good end. Because Zhi Luo calculated against the Longxia martial artists, he killed the Zhi family in Southern Country with his men. Qin Yi was vengeful, insidious, deceitful, cruel, and ruthless, likely deceiving him from start to finish.

Qin Yi, however, looked calm as water, the corner of his mouth slightly raised but with no warmth, indifferently said, "So your name is Zhengtian Zhan. In this hunting game, you’re lucky to have survived until the end. But surviving until the end doesn’t mean you’ll survive."

"Decades ago, many countries invaded Longxia together, and blood smeared Luoshen Mountain. Although Longxia eventually won, many Longxia heroes died in Luoshen Mountain. Since I, Qin, have chosen to bear the world, I absolutely won’t allow such things to happen again."

"Nan ZaiXu wasn’t wrong. Take off the armor, and you will certainly die. But now I tell you, even if you don’t remove the Willow Leaf Cold Silver Armor, you will certainly die. No one here will leave alive."

With those words, Qin Yi turned into a stream of light and charged at Zhengtian Zhan. Before the person arrived, the fist light arrived first, the terrifying fist light covering dozens of meters around.

Zhengtian Zhan was horrified, frantically operating his cultivation, activating the big mace in his hand. This mace was no ordinary item, like the armor he wore, both being top-quality spiritual artifacts.

Whoosh!

Black streaks instantly spread out from the big mace, instantly extending dozens of meters, drawing towards Qin Yi like a sky-reaching pillar.

Boom!

The fist light surged, rolling like dry thunder, clashing with the shadow of the big mace, explosively exploding. The storm swept through, cracking the ground like a centipede, tearing the void with its terrible tearing force.

Puff!

Zhengtian Zhan almost lost his soul, the violent storm crashing against him like waves hitting the shore. Even with the Willow Leaf Cold Silver Armor, it couldn’t stop the terrible power, shaking his Qi and blood, making him spurt a huge mouthful of blood. His whole body rolled in the air, flying away horizontally.

Qin Yi followed closely, punching continuously, round after round of purple light flowing from his fists, forming disc-sized shapes, blasting towards the flying Zhengtian Zhan.
