Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 1133: Cutting Off One’s Own Retreat

Li Tianyang's eyes slightly contracted. He suddenly turned around, his aura surging to the peak, and with one palm strike, a torrent of power erupted forcefully.

"Boom!"

A purple barrier appeared, with a surface like purple water ripples, directly dissolving Li Tianyang's power.

Li Tianyang's face looked very unpleasant.

Qin Yi, however, smiled and said, "Now, can we talk?"

Li Tianyang came to his senses, looking at Qin Yi, "If you kill me, you won't survive either. Many people know I came here. If I die, the Emperor will certainly investigate to the end."

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't say I want to kill you."

"You think I would submit to you, dream on!"

Qin Yi shrugged helplessly, "You're already an old fox, they say the older the wiser, so why are you so foolish? If I were you, I wouldn't say these things, blocking all my own ways out.

Li Tianyang, you say I can't kill you, and you refuse to yield, then what do you think I should do in general? Do you think I have no way against you?"

Li Tianyang looked at Qin Yi with full mockery, the implication was clear, that indeed Qin Yi could do nothing to him.

Qin Yi's eyes turned a shade more indifferent, "I just don't understand, can't we have a good talk? Why insist on pretending. I wasn't intending to kill you, I wanted to make a friend, but you don't seem to care. Then I'll have no choice but to turn you into a dog."

Li Tianyang was furious, glaring indignantly at Qin Yi.

"Refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit." Qin Yi's eyes lit up, and he surged aggressively toward Li Tianyang.

With a raise of his fist, the violent Fist Light rolled like thunder, sweeping towards Li Tianyang.

Li Tianyang's face changed dramatically, his aura growing fierce, trying to resist.

"Boom!"

Li Tianyang spat out blood as he flew backward, crashing into the Great Array's Boundary Barrier, jolting back from the shock.

In reality, his resistance was futile.

Qin Yi's figure flickered and appeared beside Li Tianyang, delivering a sharp whipping kick.

"Bang!"

Li Tianyang's Protective Gang Qi shattered under the kick, his entire body blasted out like a cannonball, colliding with the Great Array's Boundary Barrier and again being knocked back.

"Bang!"

Qin Yi's figure flashed in interception, kicking him aside like a soccer ball, sending him flying once more.

Every time, there was a clear sound of bones cracking echoing in the hall.

"Bang... Bang..."

Qin Yi, like a child passionate about soccer, repeatedly kicked Li Tianyang flying out, bouncing back against the Great Array's Boundary Barrier, then kicking him away again.

If there were several others like Li Tianyang, Qin Yi might have felt strained. But one Li Tianyang was merely a toy to be played with in his hands.

Qiu Tang was left speechless, watching Li Tianyang, who was at the Unification Realm Great Perfection, being kicked around by Qin Yi like a ball.

"Bang!"

Li Tianyang was once again sent flying by Qin Yi's kick, shooting out like a cannonball to crash against the Great Array's Boundary Barrier.

However, this time Qin Yi did not make another move, letting Li Tianyang fall to the ground.

"Puff!"

Li Tianyang opened his mouth and spewed a mouthful of fresh blood. His whole body convulsed, his bones broken in an unknown number, looking extremely miserable.

However, curiously, Li Tianyang's face had no injuries.

Unbeknownst to anyone, this was intentional on Qin Yi's part.

Qin Yi calmly walked over, took out the assassin portrait Qiu Tang had drawn earlier from Li Tianyang's arms, and raised a wisp of Purple Flames from his palm, directly burning the portrait to ashes.

"This portrait of yours is enough to bring you to utter destruction," Qin Yi said, looking at Qiu Tang.

Qiu Tang, somewhat unconvinced, said, "If you hadn't appeared, Li Tianyang would never have known that the person in the portrait is you."

"I altered my appearance when I left last night. Li Tianyang had fought against me before. The version of me he saw was completely different from the one you drew. The moment he got the portrait, he knew that last night's assassination was just a well-staged act by you and the assassin. If I hadn't intercepted, this portrait would have already been in the hands of the old Emperor, and you... think of the consequences yourself."

Qiu Tang was stunned.

Qin Yi said with disdain, "Even the wise can make a mistake. Even if I hadn't changed my appearance last night, what Li Tianyang and others would have seen was my current look, completely different from your drawing. Even a fool would know you are covering for last night's assassin."

Qiu Tang: "..."

"That was indeed my oversight."

She earlier only thought of covering for Qin Yi, without considering deeply. Fortunately, Qin Yi intervened, or else if this portrait reached the Emperor, she wouldn't have been able to explain herself even if she had ten mouths.

It was only now that she understood why Qin Yi wanted her to keep Li Tianyang alive, why he was willing to expose himself to deal with Li Tianyang. Her momentary oversight almost cost them all their efforts.

Slandering a prince is a capital offense.

Qiu Tang, still in shock, could feel her back breaking out in a cold sweat.

Qin Yi turned back, looking at Li Tianyang, "I really think you're cheap, not listening to words, forcing me to act. You've pushed a cultured man into becoming a brute. Can you say you're not cheap?"

Li Tianyang convulsed in pain, glaring resentfully at Qin Yi. Even now, he believed that as long as he did not yield, Qin Yi could do nothing against him.

"Li Tianyang, aren't you afraid I'll gamble it all and kill you directly?"

"Qin Yi, you cannot kill him." Qiu Tang hurriedly said, "Many people surely know Li Tianyang came here. If he dies, even without evidence, we can't shake off the association."

Qin Yi turned back, looking at Qiu Tang as if speechless.

Qiu Tang was briefly stunned, had she said something wrong?

"I was just kidding, why are you panicking?"

Qiu Tang: "..."

Is this the time to joke? She was very curious as to what Qin Yi planned to do with Li Tianyang. This person was like a porcupine, couldn't be killed. As long as he refused to submit, it seemed they truly were at a loss on what to do with him.

Qin Yi's lips slightly curled, "I said, since he doesn't want to be friends, I can only turn him into an obedient dog."

As he spoke, Qin Yi slowly raised his hand, wisps of Purple Light wandered around his palm, then condensed into a small purple sphere the size of a thumb.

With a flick of his finger, Qin Yi sent the purple sphere flying, embedding directly in the center of Li Tianyang's forehead.

Before Qiu Tang could comprehend, Li Tianyang began to shake violently, like having a seizure, his face full of pain, the veins on his forehead, neck, and temples bulging as high as a finger.

His eyes bulged, filled with blood, as if they would explode, his whole body trembling like a sieve, rolling on the ground, with painful gasping sounds coming from his throat...

Qin Yi, with cold eyes devoid of any emotion, icily said, "Li Tianyang, you've forced this upon me. While you were cutting off our retreat, you were also cutting off your own. Let me tell you, what you've been inflicted with is the Soul Devouring Pearl, and aside from me, no one in this world can remove it."
