The Killing of Hong Chen, the Spatial Storm

Hearing that Sun Qi still dared to be so arrogant, Hong Li could no longer bear it. He raised a hand and sent a fierce gust of wind straight at Sun Qi.

Just as it was about to strike Sun Qi, a pressure locked onto Hong Li in an instant, its terrifying force bending his body.

"Let the juniors fight amongst themselves. You're an elder, so stay out of it."

As the words fell, a figure appeared between Sun Qi and Hong Li in a flash of lightning.

He merely gave Hong Li a light pat on the shoulder, and the terrifying pressure broke both of Hong Li's legs.

"My legs! Aah-!"

With both legs broken, Hong Li could no longer support himself. Like Hong Chen, he fell to the ground, and father and son lay sprawled before Sun Qi.

Fei Tian turned to look at Hong Chen. Although he still wore that coldly adorable face, the killing aura he gave off struck fear into everyone present.

"Dou Zong... a Dou Zong expert!"

"Why are you attacking my Hong Family, sir? Do you intend to make an enemy of us?!"

Fei Tian ignored Hong Li and turned his gaze to Hong Chen, who was beneath Sun Qi.

"You were the one who made indecent remarks to Miss Qing'er just now, weren't you?"

Seeing that Fei Tian was about to strike, Sun Qi hurriedly moved aside. It would be bad if he got caught in the attack.

"Senior, it's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

"My grandfather is the Hong Family's old ancestor, a Dou Zong expert. You... aah!"

Fei Tian did not listen to another word of his nonsense. He crippled Hong Chen's cultivation on the spot, then turned to Feng Qing'er.

"Miss Qing'er, how do you intend to deal with this man?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Feng Qing'er said casually, "Kill him."

Hearing that, Fei Tian raised his hand and sent a palm strike of Dou Qi straight at Hong Chen's forehead.

"Spare him!" The space before Fei Tian suddenly shattered, and a stream of red Dou Qi blocked his attack.

"Sir, please do this old man a favor. My Hong Family will surely compensate you afterward for the offense against your young miss!"

An old man in red slowly emerged from the shattered space. As Fei Tian confronted him,

Sun Qi glanced at Feng Qing'er, then at Hong Chen, who lay on the ground like a dead dog.

"What are you jabbering about? First, take a strike from Old Sun's staff."

While Hong Tianxiao and Fei Tian faced off, Sun Qi brought his staff down on Hong Chen.

"Chen'er!" Hong Tianxiao tried to stop him, but he was far too late. Hong Chen was dead, killed outright by a single blow from the staff.

When Hong Tianxiao could no longer detect any sign of life from Hong Chen, he flew into a rage on the spot.

"You killed my grandson! Today, I'll make you join him in death!"

With that, he raised a hand and struck at Sun Qi.

Seeing this, Fei Tian dared not be careless. He pulled Sun Qi behind him and raised a hand to meet Hong Tianxiao's attack.

"Patriarch Hong, if he loses so much as a single hair today, my Wind Lightning Pavilion will slaughter your entire Hong Family tomorrow!"

Sun Qi could die anywhere, but he absolutely could not die on the Wind Lightning Pavilion's turf, much less in front of Fei Tian.

Otherwise, if it sparked a war between the two pavilions, he, Fei Tian, would surely be hunted down by a Dou Zun expert!

Hearing Fei Tian's words, Hong Tianxiao's furious expression cleared at once.

"Wind... Wind Lightning Pavilion!"

"You're from the Wind Lightning Pavilion!"

The Han Family's old ancestor and patriarch had just arrived when they heard the words "Wind Lightning Pavilion."

They too were stunned on the spot.

"You... you're from the Wind Lightning Pavilion?" Han Xue asked Sun Qi, her face full of curiosity.

But Sun Qi shook his head. "No, she's the one from the Wind Lightning Pavilion."

The Han Family members all turned to Feng Qing'er, but she ignored them and asked Sun Qi a question instead.

"Why did you kill him just now? A Dou Zong expert had stepped in!"

Sun Qi tilted his head. "Didn't you tell me to kill him?"

Feng Qing'er: "..."

Forget it. He was just the profligate son of a small family. Since he'd been killed, so be it.

Seeing how close Sun Qi and Feng Qing'er were, the Han Family members guessed that this blond-haired young man's identity must also be extraordinary.

Han Fei immediately stepped forward and looked kindly at Sun Qi. "Young friend, Xue'er has already told this old man everything."

"On behalf of the Han Family, allow this old man to thank you first!"

Sun Qi waved a hand. "It was just a small favor. There's no need to be so polite."

"Ah! I see you're so young, young friend. I wonder if there's someone you've set your heart on..."

"Grandfather!" Seeing that Han Fei was about to arrange a marriage for Sun Qi as soon as he opened his mouth, Han Xue grabbed him.

"Grandfather, what nonsense are you saying?!" Blushing, Han Xue turned to Sun Qi with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. My grandfather's grown muddleheaded with age and always talks nonsense. Please don't take it too much to heart!"

Beside them, Feng Qing'er's face darkened as she watched, her eyes fixed on Sun Qi.

Before he could finish speaking, Feng Qing'er grabbed him.

"Don't you still have to travel the continent to find your master?!"

"Go, go, go! Leave right now!"

Utterly bewildered, Sun Qi was pulled by Feng Qing'er toward the Space Wormhole.

"Wait, Elder Fei Tian hasn't finished dealing with things over there..."

"You don't need to worry about it. I'll handle this!"

In the distance, Fei Tian, who had just finished frightening Hong Xiaotian, saw this and let out a long sigh. "Forget it..."

Before the Space Wormhole, Feng Qing'er folded her arms and looked at Sun Qi in anger.

"Then I'll be going. Make sure you cultivate."

"Go, go, go! I'm annoyed just looking at you. Hurry up and go!"

Seeing this, Sun Qi lingered no longer. He turned and walked inside, then boarded a flying boat bound for the Northwest Continent.

But no sooner had Sun Qi left than Feng Qing'er regretted it.

He really... really left this young miss behind just like that...

We parted in such a hurry, without even saying goodbye.

In the end, my pride ruined everything...

Just as Feng Qing'er turned to walk back, looking dejected, Fei Tian appeared beside her at some point.

"Miss Qing'er, Sun Qi asked me to give you this last night..."

In the Space Wormhole, Sun Qi had been aboard the spatial flying boat for over a month. He had just stepped outside for some air when he heard a fellow traveler sharing the boat speak.

"I'm telling you, the Space Wormhole over by the Northwest Continent hasn't been maintained for ages, so the space there is very unstable!"

"You'd better be careful, or you might get swept away by the spatial turbulence..."

The moment he finished speaking, the surrounding space suddenly began to shake. Then a spatial storm made up of hundreds of streams of spatial turbulence came surging toward them.

"Oh no! It's a spatial storm!"

Sun Qi was dumbfounded. Where had this jinx come from?!

If I'd known, I wouldn't have boarded this boat!

Before he could think any further, the spatial turbulence swept over the boat. Many people were torn to pieces on the spot, then swallowed up entirely.

Sun Qi was also badly hurt, but he was somewhat luckier. Thanks to the armor Yao Chen had given him, he did not die in the spatial turbulence like the others.

Cries and screams rose and fell around him. Suddenly, everything went black before Sun Qi's eyes, and with an abrupt sensation of weightlessness, dozens of spatial passages appeared out of nowhere before him.

With no time to think, he picked a spatial passage at random and plunged straight in.

No matter where I end up, I have to find a way to survive first!
