C96 Between Life and Death
Qin Yuan went over the peak and was about to head towards the mission destination when he met a familiar face at the foot of the mountain.
"Qin Yuan!"
Seeing the newcomer, Qin Yuan sighed inwardly, "Why is it you again! What exactly did she want to do … "Miss Shang?"
This person was none other than Shang Menghan, dressed in her best attire.
"What? You're surprised to see me, right?" Shang Menghan walked in a circle in front of Qin Yuan as if showing off something.
Qin Yuan pinched his forehead, which was hurting a little, and said, "There's something to be surprised about, so the happiness is gone."
Shang Menghan whined coquettishly. She crossed her hands on her waist and said, "What? Do you think it's shameful for me to accompany you on a mission?"
"You want to follow me to do some tasks?" Qin Yuan felt extremely helpless and could only be more direct with his words, "Are we not that familiar with each other?"
Shang Menghan replied nonchalantly, "I'm not familiar with it right now, but I can slowly get to know it better. "And didn't you say that we could be friends?"
Qin Yuan was at his wit's end facing this girl who looked like a piece of dandruff. He could only let her follow behind him and weakly said, "Follow me, don't disturb my mission."
"Alright, I will definitely not obstruct you!" Shang Menghan exclaimed happily.
The two of them walked for about an hour before they entered a stone forest.
Shang Menghan, who had been silent all this time, glared at Qin Yuan from behind and then threw away the badly ravaged dogtail grass in her hands. Shang Menghan, who had been silent all this time, glared at Qin Yuan from behind and then threw away the badly ravaged dogtail grass in her hands.
Qin Yuan wanted to say, "Are you sick?", but when he saw Shang Menghan's eyes, they were filled with boundless tenderness, as if they merged with the image of Little Seven in his mind. Closing his mouth, Qin Yuan continued walking forward without another word.
"Why didn't you answer me?" Shang Menghan chased after him, but Qin Yuan did not see her expression, which showed that she had mustered up all her courage to ask about it.
"Wait …" Something doesn't seem right! " Qin Yuan was acutely aware that the stone forest was too quiet. The peculiar atmosphere made him feel a sense of crisis.
However, he couldn't see anything out of the ordinary in this stone forest. There were only huge stone pillars and weeds that were trying their best to grow between the gaps of the rocks.
"You can actually sense my aura, it's not simple!"
Qin Yuan and Shang Menghan were instantly shocked. They turned their heads at the same time and saw a middle-aged man in his forties appearing on top of a stone pillar. He was looking down at them with an intense killing intent.
"It's you!" "Liu Zheng Yong!" Qin Yuan had a bad feeling. Liu Zhengyong's appearance here at this time was probably not a good one!
However, Shang Menghan did not know the grudge between Qin Yuan and the Liu Family. When she saw that it was Liu Zhengyong, she greeted him with a smile, "Teacher Liu, why are you here?"
Liu Zheng Yong glanced at Shang Menghan. He didn't expect her to be here. However, since no one was around, no one would know if he killed Shang Menghan along with Qin Yuan.
"Liu laoshi?" Shang Menghan wasn't too far away from Liu Zhengyong. She raised her foot and was about to walk towards him.
Seeing this, Qin Yuan grabbed Shang Menghan's wrist and pulled her behind him, saying in a commanding tone, "Don't go over there, it's dangerous!"
Shang Menghan did not know why Qin Yuan had said that, but when he held her hand, her heartbeat sped up. With a smile, she said to herself: "This time, he grabbed my hand, it's not the same as the first time! "His tone just now was quite domineering …"
Looking at Qin Yuan's broad back, Shang Menghan felt at ease, as if the youth in front of her could block out all disasters.
"Girl, you can only blame yourself for following this brat for no reason. "However, I will make your death a little easier!" Liu Zheng Yong said coldly.
Shang Menghan finally understood that Liu Zhengyong was here to kill Qin Yuan! And now, he was going to kill him as well!
"Teacher Liu, is there some kind of misunderstanding?" Shang Menghan asked anxiously.
Once again, Qin Yuan pulled her behind him and said in a low voice, "Shang Menghan, I will hold him back. You must seize this opportunity to escape, or you may have a chance of survival!"
"I'm not leaving!" Shang Menghan had a generous look on her face as she said, "I won't leave even if you don't want to! If you die, I die too! "
Qin Yuanyu angrily said, "What nonsense are you spouting?! If I tell you to leave, then you can leave. This has nothing to do with you! "
Shang Menghan started crying when she heard Qin Yuan's loud roar, but she still stubbornly said, "I can't leave you behind! There must be some kind of misunderstanding! "Teacher Liu, Qin Yuan isn't a bad guy, and we didn't do anything wrong …"
"Did nothing wrong?" Liu Zheng Yong interrupted him angrily. He gnashed his teeth and said, "Ask Qin Yuan who bullied me in front of the freshmen, and who crippled the Dantian of the Liu Family's disciple?"
Qin Yuan frowned. With just these two things alone, Liu Zhengyong should not have killed him. Even if he did, he would have done so several times already.
There must be a reason why Liu Zhengyong decided to make a move!
However, now was not the time to go into the dark. Liu Zheng Yong was a 5-star Martial Spirit, a whole realm higher than Qin Yuan's. If they collided, Qin Yuan would have no chance of surviving. Even if he wanted to escape, he would not be able to do so.
"What should I do?" Qin Yuan had thought through all of his abilities, but none of them were able to gain any benefits in front of Liu Zheng Yong.
Forcing himself to calm down, Qin Yuan looked around quickly and found that there was a cliff about ten meters to his left.
However, if this continued, even a Martial Master would be smashed to smithereens.
"I don't care about that anymore. If I jump, I will die. If I stay, I will die. I might as well give my life to heaven to decide!" Perhaps, just as the Principal had said, I will survive due to luck! "
Qin Yuan made up his mind. He looked at Liu Zheng Yong standing on the high ground and said to Shang Meng Ha behind him, "Miss Shang, do you dare to die with me?"
Shang Menghan was asked in such a sudden manner, but she did not hesitate at all. She resolutely replied, "I dare, I am willing too!"
"Alright!" Qin Yuan nodded. He pulled Shang Menghan and retreated towards the cliff, using his words to distract Liu Zhengyong. "Liu Zhengyong, how will you let us go?"
"Let you go?" Liu Zheng Yong seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world and looked at the two of them as if they were idiots: "I'm not afraid of telling you the truth. As long as I kill you, Zhang Yan will join the Liu Family and become our Guardian! In the future, when he becomes a Saint Seal Master of Third or Fourth Order, our Liu Family will grow and expand! "Tell me, can I let you go?"
"Zhang Yan clearly wants to join the Bai Clan, why would he vote for the Liu Clan just to kill me? Even if you want to kill me, you can definitely make this request to the Bai Clan, and the Bai Clan will not reject you. " Qin Yuan instantly thought of the key point.
In fact, Liu Zhenyong also felt that Zhang Yan's motives were impure, but the loyalty of a Saint Seal Master was just too great a temptation. He simply couldn't reject such a good opportunity. Not to mention, killing Qin Yuan did not cause him any loss.
"That's not right!" At this moment, Liu Zhengjun saw that Qin Yuan was retreating towards the cliff. He immediately reacted and released his Aura instantly.
"We've been discovered!" As soon as Qin Yuan saw the change in Liu Zhengyong's expression, he knew that his thought had been detected. He didn't retreat any longer and quickly activated his Supreme Qi before Liu Zhengyong could, dragging Shang Menghan with him as he rushed towards the cliff.
When they were discovered, Qin Yuan and Liu Zheng Yong were only four meters away from the cliff, and Liu Zheng Yong was more than ten meters away from them. Even though the difference in realm was huge, the latter couldn't stop Qin Yuan before he jumped off the cliff.
Seeing Qin Yuan pulling Shang Menghai and jumping off the cliff, Liu Zhengyong knew he could not catch up. He could only throw out a gale.
At the same time, Qin Yuan had already jumped up with Shang Menghai in tow and was falling down the cliff.
The mountain winds were howling. The two of them simultaneously saw Liu Zhengyong's palm strike. Before the violent gale even arrived, it made them feel suffocated.
