Chapter 1434 – Unyielding Character
"Qiu Hong, you have ten breaths to make your decision. If you don't hand over the pendants after ten breaths, we'll kill one person every breath," Old Man Zi Xu uttered a hollow laugh. He flung his sleeves and said, "Before that, consider this a gift."
"Die!"
Han Mingli, Jiang Dingshan and Yang Bailong flickered their fingers without hesitation. Three god rays penetrated the chests of two middle-aged men and a glamorous woman in front of them.
AH!
Three cries of agony immediately sounded.
Han Mingli and his crew did not kill the people straight away, but they were using a unique god art to drain their life force away, leaving them in a torturing pain.
Thud!
Qin Nan's figure shivered as if he had just received a tremendous blow.
For some reason, fragments of memories surged into his mind.
In the memories, a middle-aged man was showing something to him proudly. Another middle-aged man was rebuking him with a cold expression. Furthermore, in a valley with blossoming flowers, a woman in a long dress stood in the distance. Her faint smile left him in dazzlement.
The memories felt extremely unfamiliar, but it felt incredibly real, as if Qin Nan had experienced them first hand.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a strange sorrow and anger rose in his heart, causing him to unleash a cold murderous aura.
"Five breaths left!"
Old Man Zi Xu and the others were hesitant at that instant.
If Qiu Hong was a merciless person, their method would be totally meaningless.
"Qiu Hong, don't worry about us, don't give them the pendants…"
Among the rest of the six cultivators, the old man with sharp eyebrows immediately transmitted his stern voice into Qin Nan's mind.
"Junior Brother Qiu Hong…"
As for the other five cultivators, they were completely overwhelmed by fear.
"Let them go, I'll give you the pendants."
Qin Nan ignored the old man's advice. He uttered the words without hesitation.
The memories and the sudden burst of emotion in his heart did not affect him much since he basically was not related to the people being held hostage. However, it was fate that he had found the body, thus he would not allow them to kill the body's master and people from his faction.
As for the succession of the Drought Demon Immortal Tomb, he would find another way or search for other successions later.
"HAHAHA!"
Old Man Zi Xu and the others burst out laughing upon hearing this. A few other breaths later, he suddenly withdrew his laugh and wore a disdainful look, "I'm sorry, I didn't hear it very clear."
"Die!"
Han Mingli, Jiang Dingshan and Yang Bailong uttered a hollow laugh and attacked again by firing god rays at another three cultivators, leaving them screaming in pain. Their screams echoed in the valley.
This Qiu Hong was being disrespectful competing with their three factions for the pendants. How could they possibly let him go so easily?
If Qiu Hong was loyal to the people he knew, they would simply let him suffer watching the people he deemed important to die in front of him while he was feeling helpless!
"You…"
Qin Nan's expression changed. The fragments of memories surged into his mind once again, as the anger and sorrow in his heart gradually grew stronger.
"Me? What does that mean? Are you trying to say…"
Old Man Zi Xu said after a slight pause, "You're not willing to hand over the pendants?"
Following his words, Han Mingli immediately emitted a god ray, killing one of the three cultivators that were still alive.
This time, it felt like the cry of agony was echoing right in Qin Nan's heart.
"Hand over the pendants at once. Otherwise, your master and martial uncle won't die so quickly."
Old Man Zi Xu squinted.
It was enough to torture Qiu Hong three times by killing seven people. It was unwise to put too much pressure on him now. Once they secured the pendants, they would have lots of time to torture him.
"That's great!"
Qin Nan collected his thoughts. His gaze became extremely icy as he unleashed a terrifying murderous aura, "Once this is over, I'll surely get my revenge from the three great factions!"
The three factions had thoroughly infuriated him.
"You?"
Old Man Zi Xu and the others wore disdainful looks.
Although Qiu Hong had somehow grown a lot stronger, he was still a huge distance away compared to the three factions.
Any Martial God Realm expert at the scene could easily eliminate him, let alone the Human God Realm experts.
However, when Qin Nan was about to hand the pendants over, an unexpected change took place.
The old man with sharp eyebrows and another cultivator suddenly emitted brilliant glows from their bodies.
Their auras crumbled as if they had received a formidable blow.
They had decided to detonate themselves!
"How dare you…"
Old Man Zi Xu and the others were shocked and furious upon seeing this.
They still did not acquire the pendants. If the last two hostages committed suicide by detonating themselves, how were they going to threaten Qiu Hong?
"This…"
Qin Nan was startled.
They did not expect Qiu Hong's master and martial uncle to make such a decision.
"You people of the three factions are ridiculous, trying to use such a despicable method to pick on my disciple! As his master, how can I possibly let you get away with it?"
The old man suddenly unleashed a strong aura with a firm and disdainful gaze.
"That's right!"
The other cultivator behaved the same way fearlessly.
"Well, well, well!"
Old Man Zi Xu burst into laughter in anger, "A mere half-Martial Monarch and a mere peak Martial Progenitor have shown us such an unyielding character…"
"Qiu Hong, don't be sad, don't feel bad, continue to shine brightly, your master I and your martial uncle, and the rest of the elders and disciples of the Righteous Heart Sect will always support you!"
The old man with sharp eyebrows ignored Zi Xu and glanced at Qin Nan with a gentle look.
Since he first found the little, skinny kid with a pale expression but a pair of determined eyes in a snowing night, he no longer only treated Qiu Hong as his disciple.
He was utterly satisfied upon seeing Qiu Hong displaying his talents, granting him a bright future ahead.
BANG!
Following two great explosions, their figures exploded into pieces, turning into light dots scattering in the air.
