Multiverse Unrivaled System Chapter 7 - The Massacre in the Rainy Night

C7 The Massacre in the Rainy Night

"Clang!"

In an instant, Qin Buyi drew his Killing Saber, positioning the blade horizontally in front of him.

"Clang!"

A tremendous force transmitted through the blade, forcing Qin Buyi to retreat two steps as he deflected most of the impact.

Activating his Probing Eye, he assessed the eight assailants—all at the Golden Core Stage: four in the Early Period, three in the Middle Period, and one in the Late Period.

Clearly, the Tang family had deployed this formidable array with the intent of delivering a fatal strike.

"Heh, kid, you've got some resilience. But as a mere Early Period Golden Core, how do you plan to escape our siege?" Fifth Master Tang boasted with smug assurance.

"Escape? Why should I?" A bloodthirsty grin flickered across Qin Buyi's lips as he faced Fifth Master Tang.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, thunder roared overhead, and raindrops swiftly escalated into a torrential downpour.

"Killing Saber Technique's Second Move: Extermination!"

This second move was designed for combat against multiple foes. Since advancing his Killing Saber Technique to the Second Rank, Qin Buyi had yet to find the perfect moment to unleash it—until now.

In the midst of the stormy night, the blade gleamed with a chilling light, the Killing Saber cutting through the air like a crescent moon, aimed directly in front of Qin Buyi.

The technique swept over all eight adversaries, trapping them within its lethal arc.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"

The night echoed with the din of clashing weapons.

"Crack!"

"The first one!" declared Qin Buyi.

The weapon of a Golden Core Early Period combatant was savagely severed by the Killing Saber, its edge unrelentingly cleaving through his skull.

"Chi!"

"Ah!"

Another, at the Golden Core Middle Period, failed to evade; his arm, weapon still in hand, was severed cleanly at the base.

A cold sweat broke out over his body as his agonized screams sent shivers down the spines of those who heard.

"No!" "Chi!"

Yet another Early Period Golden Core adversary saw his defenses brutally breached by Qin Buyi's Killing Saber, the blade's tip piercing his heart and vibrating to instantly pulverize the organ.

"The second one!" Qin Buyi announced, his voice devoid of any emotion.

"Clang!"

After slicing through the weapon of the Golden Core Early Stage adversary, the Killing Saber cleaved the opponent's body in two with a swift diagonal strike from top to bottom.

"Number three!"

"Clang!" "Clang!..."

Following a barrage of attacks, three out of the eight Golden Core Stage warriors lay dead, one gravely wounded. Aside from Fifth Master Tang, the remaining three bore their own battle scars.

"Kid, I'm going to make you pay with your life!" Fifth Master Tang, gazing at the three lifeless bodies before him, felt a blaze of fury igniting in his chest.

With a rush of fury, the Mountain Opening Axe bore down on Qin Buyi, but this time, Qin deftly sidestepped the attack, redirecting the axe with a skillful maneuver.

He then skirted past Fifth Master Tang, unleashing a second onslaught on the four survivors.

"Face me like a man, kid, and stop running!" Fifth Master Tang barked, his voice laced with desperation and anger.

Qin Buyi gave Fifth Master Tang a frosty look and delivered a succinct rebuke: "Fool."

"You... Ah! Kid, I swear I won't rest until you're dead!" Fifth Master Tang's enraged bellow echoed down the street.

"Killing Saber Technique: Slaughter!"

The Killing Saber hummed as it vibrated rapidly, with Qin Buyi targeting the severely wounded warrior at the Golden Core Middle Stage first.

"Clang!"

The warrior managed a feeble defense, his eyes wide with terror at the sight of the demon-like Qin Buyi, his resolve crumbling to pieces.

"Master Tang, save me, sa—"

His plea was cut short as his head tumbled to the ground.

Qin Buyi turned to Fifth Master Tang with a mocking smile and announced, "Number four!"

"Ah! Cursed, detestable wretch!"

Speed was not among Fifth Master Tang's strengths; in fact, it was his Achilles' heel. Unable to keep pace, he could only watch helplessly as Qin Buyi dispatched his foes with ease.

"Killing Saber Technique: Extermination!"

The attack, reminiscent of a waning moon, swept over the three men before Qin Buyi.

"Ah! This is unbearable!"

"Shh!"

"Number five!"

The saber sliced through the air, and a fountain of blood spurted from the severed throat.

"No, stay back!"

"Chi!"

"That's the sixth one!"

The Killing Saber thrust into the opponent's heart, its vibrations shredding the organ to pieces.

"Fifth Master, save me! Please, Fifth Master, save me! No! Don't kill me..."

"Chi!"

"And that makes seven!"

Qin Buyi dispatched the last man before him, flicking the blood from his blade.

He turned, blade tip aimed directly at Fifth Master Tang, and declared, "They're all gone. You're next."

The heavy stench of blood hung over the street. Fifth Master Tang's eyes blazed red as he snarled, "You little rat, I swear I'll torture you to death!"

"Clang!"

Qin Buyi's foot sprang off the ground, closing the distance to Fifth Master Tang in a flash.

"Clang!"

The initial strike was parried, but Qin Buyi showed no sign of surprise.

It would have been shocking if Fifth Master Tang, at the Golden Core Late Stage, lacked even this level of skill.

"Killing Saber Technique: Slaughter!"

The blade's tip lunged for Fifth Master Tang's heart, but the Mountain Opening Axe was swung into position, blocking his chest.

In a twist, the Killing Saber veered mid-flight, aiming for the gap between Fifth Master Tang's legs.

Caught off guard, Fifth Master Tang stumbled backward, narrowly evading the deadly slice.

"Such a ruthless tactic! Is that all you've got, resorting to these underhanded tricks?" bellowed Fifth Master Tang.

Qin Buyi remained silent, his gaze fixed on Fifth Master Tang.

In Qin Buyi's steady eyes, Fifth Master Tang read a clear message: "Fool!"

"Ah! You're driving me mad! I'll rip you to shreds, you little wretch!"

"Mountain Opening Axe: Mountain Cleaver!"

The already formidable Mountain Opening Axe now surged with even greater ferocity, engulfing Qin Buyi in its shadow.

The axe descended with crushing force, leaving Qin Buyi nowhere to run.

"Killing Saber Technique: Slaughter!"

Qin Buyi's complexion blanched as he executed the Killing Saber Technique in rapid succession three times.

"Clang!"

The Killing Saber, humming with high-speed vibrations, struck the Mountain Opening Axe with three precise blows.

As the Mountain Opening Axe bore down on Qin Buyi, its course was violently altered. Skimming past Qin Buyi with a gust of wind, the axe cleaved into the ground.

"Boom!"

Dust billowed and stones scattered as a ten-foot-deep crater formed beside Qin Buyi.

Seizing the moment Fifth Master Tang struggled to extract the Mountain Opening Axe from the pit, Qin Buyi mounted his offensive.

"Killing Saber Technique: Slaughter!"

His saber's edge made a beeline for Fifth Master Tang's throat.

Fifth Master Tang faced a dire choice: to avoid injury, he'd have to discard his Mountain Opening Axe, but in the heat of such a fierce battle, losing his weapon was tantamount to sealing his own fate.

With no other option, Fifth Master Tang bellowed in rage and contorted his body to dodge the lethal strike, minimizing the damage.

"Slash!"

The Killing Saber carved a gruesome gash across Fifth Master Tang's back, deep enough to expose bone.

"Hisss!"

Agony shot through Fifth Master Tang's mind, his face contorting in pain.

"Killing Saber Technique: Slaughter."

Qin Buyi pressed his attack relentlessly, knowing that giving his enemy a moment's respite was akin to suicide.

Fifth Master Tang wrenched the Mountain Opening Axe free and engaged Qin Buyi in a fierce melee.

"Clang!" "Clang!"

"Slash!" "Slash!"

After over a dozen exchanges...

Fifth Master Tang's chest bore a gaping wound, while Qin Buyi's back was streaked with three axe cuts, from which blood flowed unabated.

"Mountain Opening Axe: Horizontal Sweep!"

Fifth Master Tang initiated another assault, his massive axe arcing towards Qin Buyi.

"Whoosh~"

The axe's wind narrowly missed Qin Buyi's ear.

Unfazed by the close shave, Qin Buyi watched strands of his hair drift away.

In the midst of Fifth Master Tang's onslaught, Qin Buyi lunged with the Killing Saber in hand.

"Slash!"

The blade pierced through Fifth Master Tang's shoulder.

Amidst the fierce combat, teetering on the brink of death, the slightest misstep could be fatal. This razor-edge thrill sharpened Qin Buyi's senses.

"Boom!" Thunder roared overhead as lightning streaked across the sky, dancing like silver dragons.

Unnoticed by all, a sinister black-red hue emerged in the center of the pristine Killing Saber, slowly spreading outward.

The same black-red tint surfaced in the depths of Qin Buyi's eyes, his lips curling into a bloodthirsty, maniacal grin.

There was only one thought in his mind: to kill his adversary.

"Killing Saber Technique: Slaughter!"

"Clang!"

Once the Mountain Opening Axe parried the assault, Qin Buyi unleashed a frenzied barrage of attacks.

"Killing Saber Technique: Slaughter!"

"Slaughter!" "Slaughter!" "Slaughter!"

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"

In the heat of the moment, Fifth Master Tang struggled to defend, cursing inwardly, "Damn, has this kid lost his mind? Where's all this stamina coming from?"

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"

Qin Buyi's attacks were relentless, each strike delivered with crushing force and rapid succession.

Fifth Master Tang's arms were numb from the onslaught.

"Clang!"

His numbed arms could no longer grip the Mountain Opening Axe, which was knocked away by the immense power of the Killing Saber.

"Sssht!"

In an instant, the saber's blade slashed across Fifth Master Tang's throat.

"Thud!"

The body hit the ground, blood mingling with the rain, streaming across the earth.

With Fifth Master Tang's demise, Qin Buyi slowly emerged from his murderous frenzy, exhaling a long breath.

The Killing Saber, partially stained black and red, quietly reverted to its original state as Qin Buyi regained his senses.

Likewise, the black and red that had seeped into Qin Buyi's pupils faded silently back to normal.
