"Well, I guess that the Ye Family and the Bai Family had long planned this all out."
Du Shaofu looked at everything that happened in a sudden, and frowned. It can be deduced from the situation that the Bai Family and the Ye Family had already planned for this, giving the opponent a fatal strike at the best time.
And just now, Bai Family had indeed been able to do so. Following the defection of the Bai Family, the Qin Family and the Floating Cloud County had also completely gone through the power of the fatal strike.
"As the saying goes, one should not be afraid of how strong the opponent is, but of the situation where the teammates are secretly playing tricks." Everything that had just happened made Du Shaofu to sigh to himself as well.
"How dare you betray me! By no means I will let you off!"
The muscles on Cao Tianmang's chest bulged out as he stared at Bai Wei with scarlet eyes.
Cao Tianmang had not expected that he would be sneakily attacked by Bai Wei when he was completely caught off guard. Otherwise, with Bai Wei's cultivation, it would be extremely difficult to deal with him.
Bai Wei looked at Cao Tianmang and said: "No matter what, Stone City is still Stone City. Although we Bai Family wish to obtain the benefits left behind by the Thunderbolt Demon Lion, as a person of Stone City, we shall never ?lure a wolf into the room? like this, not to mention that the Qin Family is the one teaming up with you. How could you accuse me of betraying you, when in fact it is you who are just being foolish!?
"Bai Jiu, you despicable scumbag!"
Qin Zongqiong was also staring at Bai Jiru. He, as well, had absolutely not expected that Bai Jiru would suddenly defect and attack him.
"You are the one who brought the people from the Floating Cloud County to the Stone City. After all, you are the despicable one."
Bai Jiru's Profound Qi fluctuated, and his Confucian clothing fluttered as he looked at Qin Zongqiong. He continued to say: "Besides, all?s fair in a war. Stone City is still Stone City after all."
"Bai Jiru, didn't we agree to join hands? You're breaking your promise!"
Han Qingsong, who was currently fighting with Du Zhenwu, roared loudly as well, with his eyes blood-red. The change that had occurred in such a short while was too hard for him to accept.
Bai Jiru glanced at Han Qingsong at a distance and said, "The Ye Family already had the conditions that the Han Family offered. Compared to the Han Family, I trust the Ye Family more."
"Bang bang!"
In a short moment, a muffled sound rang out again in mid-air. The large stature of Han Hong, accompanied by the Thunder Light Demon Condor Pulse Soul, staggered back from the air onto the ground. His face was pale and bloodstain were leaking out from his mouth vaguely.
"Roar!"
The King Scale Demon Tiger roared sinisterly, and its huge body landed beside Du Shaofu. Its wings retracted and it seemed ready to pounce, and thus nobody dared to approach Du Shaofu. However, there was a crack on its tiger claw that had just been left behind by Han Hong.
"Everything should be brought to an end!"
Ye Baolin's face was rather pale as he took in a deep breath. His hand seals changed slightly as his figure charged towards Qin Zongqiong at lightning speed. A palm imprint covered with a layer of lightning aura, which is covered with terrifyingly strange patterns, appeared in front of the heavily injured Qin Zongqiong in the blink of an eye.
"Yeah, it's about time for everything to end."
Just as Ye Baolin's palm was about to land on Qin Zongqiong's body, a faint voice came from afar, and a figure appeared in front of her like a ghost. Then, a palm with a vast amount of energy instantly collided with Ye Baolin's palm.
"Humph!"
The two palms collided, and the sudden heavy blow retreated Ye Baolin continuously. A muffled groan came from his throat, and after that, he vomited a mouthful of blood. When he could finally stand still, his eyes were filled with shock.
?Whoosh whoosh?
Everyone's eyes landed on the newcomer. It was an old man dressed in a long grey robe, and his gaze was as bright and profound as the stars in the night sky. He stood there silently, but his aura was enough to block the Profound Qi in human body.
When the experts within the Qin Family saw this old man, smiles immediately appeared on their solemn faces. After which, they all respectfully bowed. "Greetings, Uncle Xi Ping!"
"Qin Xiping, it's said that he has already been killed by that terrifying Purple Flame Demon Phoenix in the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range fifty years ago. Why is he still alive?"
"Qin Xiping! He's actually Qin Xiping!"
Ye Guang, Bai Wei, Han Hong and others' expressions changed for him. The Qin Xiping of the Qin Family was even a generation older than them. It was rumored that he had been killed by the terrifying Purple Flame Demon Phoenix in the Barbarian Beast Mountain Range, yet he remained alive and managed to hide himself to the very end.
With the appearance of Qin Xiping, the sounds of fighting in the surroundings also stopped gradually. Under the stress of that kind of formless aura, everyone felt a sense of danger.
Du Zhenwu, Han Qingsong, and the others all quietly halted their attacks as though they had reached a tacit understanding, and their gazes quietly fell upon the person who had just arrived.
At this moment, all the Demon Beast Mounts present were suppressed by this formless aura and did not dare to make a sound.
"Pulse Spirit Stage Edge, there's actually such an expert in the Qin Family!"
Feeling the aura of the person from the Qin Family, Cao Tianmang was also shocked. He had no idea that there was such a strong man hidden in the Qin Family. Only now did he realize that he was being used by the Qin Family.
"So powerful!"
Du Shaofu stared at Qin Xiping, and the aura that was being emitted from his body could tremble one's heart.
"After waiting for so many years, it should be about time."
Said Qin Xiping. He then swept his eyes across the people around him and did not take anyone else into his eyes. Instead. Yet he gave an extra glance on the King Scale Demon Tiger and Du Shaofu, and said to Du Shaofu: "You are a rare potential that no descendants of the Qin Family can compare with. Hey, I shall betroth the little girl Xiaolu to you, and from now on, you Du Family and the Qin Family shall be united, and I will do my best to nurture you. How does this sound to you??
As Qin Xiping said this, everybody present was stunned, and Cao Tianmang put on an extremely embarrassing expression. Qin Xiaolu was his son's fiancee, and at this time, the Qin Family was clearly ignoring him.
Amongst the Qin Family line up, Qin Xiaolu, who was wearing a long bloodied dress, had a change in expression as well. Then, she looked towards the violet-robed youth who was beside the enormous tiger from afar. For some reason, her eyes actually held a hint of anticipation.
"What do you Qin Family mean? Have you forgotten the agreement with us Floating Cloud County?!"
Cao Tianmang roared. Amongst the several hundred of people coming from Floating Cloud County, there were only a third left, standing behind him, with heavy losses.
Qin Xiping turned around and glanced at Cao Tianmang, then said softly, "They are right, Stone City is indeed not something that Floating Cloud County can get his hands on. Do you expect that you have the right to control the Stone City just because you are the prince of the Floating Cloud County? If it weren't for the fact that I have been waiting for this day in the past dozens of years, you would not even have the chance to lead the Floating Cloud County. Leave with your people now. The issue of the Stone City is not to be decided by outsiders.?
"What a good Qin Family, haha! What a good Stone City! I, Cao, shall not forget."
Cao Tianmang laughed, his eyes blood-red and undulating. Yet he was not an idiot, and he knew that he could no longer take any advantage of today?s matter, and could only plan ahead. Then he waved his hand at the people behind him and said with hatred: "Let's go!"
The people from Floating Cloud County crowded around each other, and after Cao Tianmang left destructively, finally they all disappeared from everyone's sight.
No one tried to stop Cao Tianmang. Firstly, Cao Tianmang had the entire Stone Dragon Empire behind his back, and secondly, all of the attention was on Qin Xiping now.
Qin Siping's gaze returned to Du Shaofu, and he said: "Brat, have you decided yet?"
Du Shaofu looked at Qin Xiping, a smile appearing on his pale resolute face, and he said: "Sorry, I'm not interested."
Qin Xiping's expression changed slightly as he said, "Brat, you have to think this through. It won't be too late to answer after careful consideration!"
"I've thought it through, but I'm still not interested!" Du Shaofu still shook his head.
"That is truly a pity. However, if it is not someone that can be used by me, I will not keep him. Thus, I have no choice but to let you die!"
As Qin Xiping's cold voice had just sounded out, the sound of wind splitting suddenly fluctuated, and after that, his figure blurred as he rushed through the space. In a blink of an eye, he appeared not far in front of Du Shaofu, and grabbed onto Du Shaofu's throat with one hand.
"Roar!"
The King Scale Demon Tiger roared, and with a flap of its wings, it pounced like a tiger, covetously eyeing its prey. The rune spread out and the tiger claws waved in the air.
"Chi!"
Like a ghost, Qin Xiping's figure avoided the tiger claws of the King Scale Demon Tiger, and he used an inconceivable force to smack his palm towards the King Scale Demon Tiger.
The King Scale Demon Tiger retreated with a flap of its wings, creating a storm that swept across the area.
"Evil creature, you're still a bit short!"
With a soft shout, Qin Xiping stepped on the air, turned his palm into a fist, and landed on the left wing of the King Scale Demon Tiger.
"Bam!"
The fist landed, with a thunderous sound, the King Scale Demon Tiger's left wing was attacked by gravity, and its gigantic body immediately retreated and fell down. The body staggered and fell onto the ground, its left wing was in pain as it roared ferociously.
"It won't be too late to kill you first and then take life from the Thunderbolt Demon Lion." Qin Xiping continued to walk towards Du Shaofu, his killing intent surging.
"Shaofu, be careful."
Du Zhenwu, Du Zhixiong, and even Bai Jiru rushed towards Qin Xiping at the same time.
"You overestimate yourselves!"
Qin Xiping sneered coldly, and his expression became completely overcast. With a shake the sleeves of his grey robe, a terrifying wave of energy directly struck Du Zhenwu, Du Zhixiong and Bai Jiru through the air.
"Rumble!"
Du Zhenwu, Du Zhixiong and Bai Jiru were sent flying like kites without strings. After that, they fiercely smashed onto the walls of the courtyard, causing the walls to crack. The courtyard was finally unable to withstand the immense impact and started to collapse.
"Let's join forces!"
Ye Guang's eyes darkened. He looked at Bai Wei and the two of them immediately pounced towards Qin Xiping. At this point of time, they had no choice but to team up and struggle.
"Roar!"
The two of them used all their power and activated their Pulse Soul once again, enveloping Qin Xiping with the gigantic Sky Shattering Bear and the Thunder Leopard phantom at the same time.
Qin Xiping smiled sinisterly. All of these were under his plan, and he was the final winner.
