Chapter 252 – Please Go and Die

He wasn’t too short or too tall . He wore spacious blue robes and his appearance was common . Besides his eyes being a bit brighter than usual, he could not be any more ordinary . But anyone that tried to probe or investigate him would find all their senses swallowed up after approaching him . His presence was like a mountain pressing down on one’s heart, leaving one gasping for breath .

This was the Ning Family Old Ancestor .

Ning Ling’s face quickly paled . She urgently said, “Old Ancestor, today’s events have nothing to do with him . I ask that you allow him to leave . This disciple is willing to accept any punishment!”

The Old Ancestor’s gaze was icy cold . “Wicked girl, today you colluded with outsiders to ruin the peace of my Blue Cloud World; you are guilty of the most abominable crimes . ” He waved his sleeves upwards . “Look at the broken skies above us . Countless people of our bloodline have died today . Do you think a few words from you is enough to erase all that?”

Ning Ling clenched her teeth . “Old Ancestor, I agree to be married off . I only ask that you forgive him!”

The Ning Family Old Ancestor’s eyes flashed . “You speak the truth?”

“This disciple is willing to take a vow!”

“Good . While he can be spared death, he must still be punished . I will cripple his cultivation and drive him out of the Blue Cloud World!”

Ning Ling’s eyes widened . She fell to her knees . “Old Ancestor, please show mercy!”

To Qin Yu, crippling his cultivation was no different than death .

The Ning Family Old Ancestor had no expression . “That is my bottom line . I will not repeat myself . ”

Qin Yu lowered his head and a smirk crossed his lips . He said in a soft voice, “Senior-apprentice sister Ning, you and I just met again so there are some things that I didn’t have time to tell you yet . Yes, there are people in this world that possess unparalleled pressure and are so strong that almost no one can compare to them . But even so, this doesn’t mean they have no weaknesses . For instance, not too long ago in the sea region, I eliminated an extremely fierce enemy called the Whale Sovereign . ”

He looked up, his gaze calm and steady . He pulled Ning Ling up . “So even now, you shouldn’t feel despair . Perhaps I might be able to add another name to my list of victories . ”

The Ning Family Old Ancestor frowned . He looked over him several times and suddenly said, “Qin Yu?”

Qin Yu smiled and cupped his hands together . “The Ning Family is indeed worthy of being the leader of the Gold Noble Family . You are truly well-informed . Qin Yu greets senior . ”

The Ning Family Old Ancestor fell silent for a moment . Then, he shook his head . “Even if you are really Qin Yu, I don’t believe that with your strength, you were able to kill the Whale Sovereign . ”

Qin Yu sighed inwardly . This person must have become wiser the older he became; a few words weren’t able to force him back . If he wanted to leave here today, he would have to risk his life .

But, he didn’t reveal any of these thoughts on his face . His lips curled up . “Is that so? Since senior doesn’t believe me, then you might as well give it a try . Senior-apprentice sister Ning, please activate the transmission array . We will be leaving shortly . ”

Ning Ling’s eyes widened, as if she were seeing Qin Yu for the first time . It had to be known that the man above them was the Ning Family Old Ancestor, one of the peak existences in the world . His strength was transcendent . Yet, Qin Yu was able to deal with him so calmly and directly, without any sense of fear at all . Without mentioning anything else, just this braveness was shocking .

“Junior-apprentice brother, be careful!”

Since Qin Yu had decided to risk everything here, she would fully cooperate with him . Perhaps there was hope…as her back faced Qin Yu, a trace of helplessness crossed her lips . This hope was really far too slim . If they couldn’t escape this calamity today, then she would die together with junior-apprentice brother Qin Yu .

The Ning Family Old Ancestor didn’t try to stop Ning Ling . He looked at Qin Yu, raised a hand, and pressed outwards .

Without a word, without any preparation, the higher one was, the more they believed in strength .

If they could do it, they generally wouldn’t speak .

As the palm fell down, winds and clouds surged up, roaring and howling . Space twisted and a palm phantom appeared, crashing onto Qin Yu .

His heart suddenly shrank – as if it were stone, unable to beat anymore . His shivering suddenly gave birth to an instinctual sense of overwhelming fear, as if the world was collapsing, as if a great calamity was in front of him . The Ning Family Old Ancestor stood at the threshold of Divine Soul . A single casual strike of his had enough might to shatter mountains and split rivers . It could easily kill an ordinary Nascent Soul .

Qin Yu knew that he had to block this palm . Only then would he have the qualifications to negotiate with the Ning Family Old Ancestor . Otherwise, no matter how brave he was or how cunning he was, if he was so weak that a single strike would instantly ruin him, there would be no leeway given to him .

He took a deep breath . Within his dantian sea, the Five Element Golden Cores began to spin . The colors of white, black, blue, red, and yellow wildly spun arrow, connecting together and blending into a circle .

The five elements promoted and constrained each other . Together they could display a thunderous blow, the boundless prestige impossible to block . At the same time, they could become the strongest defense in this world .

The palm fell . When it was just several inches away from Qin Yu, space twisted and shook . Countless tiny and rapid high frequency fluctuations occurred in this extremely narrow and small range, It was like turbulent sea waves, possessing a heaven-destroying strength .

With a stuffy cough, blood flowed from Qin Yu’s mouth and nose . But, the Ning Family Old Ancestor’s strike had been blocked . His eyes brightened like two stars in the pitch black winter night, and he lifted a hand and pointed downwards .

The weather within the Blue Cloud World suddenly dimmed, as if covered in a gossamer-thin layer of darkness . A cold and gloomy wind rose from nowhere, piercing into the heart like an invisible blade .

Between the heavens and earth, faint phantoms of faces appeared . They turned and looked towards the place where Qin Yu was . Then, they changed into countless flows of gray energy that rapidly gathered together . The finger that appeared turned black in the space of a single breath . It was like it had been soaked in ink for countless years .

Killing intent as wild and raging as a storm appeared at this moment!

Weng –

The pitch black finger trembled and then disappeared from sight . When it reappeared, it was right in front of the Ning Family Old Ancestor, falling right between his eyebrows .

The second of the Blue Fingers…Blue Spirit Finger!

The Ning Family Old Ancestor revealed a dignified expression for the first time . There was shock in his eyes, but not too much . The space between his eyebrows suddenly shined and a rune appeared . It shined with dazzling light, expanding into the shape of a 10 foot wide shield .

The Blue Spirit Finger fell . The rune violently shook, darkening by several degrees . Although the Ning Family Old Ancestor remained calm, there was an additional trace of weariness in his eyes . “Soul Slaughter Arts…I never thought that with your cultivation and age, you could control such powers . Qin Yu, I am beginning to believe that you might have killed the Whale Sovereign . But, I am stronger than he was, and I also have methods to deal with Soul Slaughter Arts . So, if this is everything, you must still die as before . ”

Qin Yu lightly said, “Is that right?” He raised his hands and his robes began to swirl around him . Something that made one feel an inexplicable sense of awe began to rise from his body .

Within his soul space, Spirity had a heavy complexion . Gray flames began to burn on her body . She lowered her head a bit, muttering to herself . Although one couldn’t hear what she was saying, it was easy to detect the resentment and helplessness in her tone .

She had waited for countless years and had also paid a ‘heavy price’ in order to obtain a new life . Would she die just like this? She felt unwillingness just thinking about this .

Unfortunately, the decision-making power wasn’t in her hands .

The Ning Family Old Ancestor frowned and his pupils contracted . He stared at Qin Yu . “Soul Perishing Art? I never thought you would have grasped such a suicida
