Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 238 - 227: Admitting Defeat

Qin Qing’s Tablet Splitting Palm sent Lu Yuming flying through the air.

Lu Yuming crashed heavily into the ground, several ribs in his chest breaking, and a bone in his back likewise shattering.

The situation reversed once again!

At the most critical moment.

Just when everyone thought Qin Qing was about to be slain by Lu Yuming with a single thrust of his spear, the situation unexpectedly turned around once more!

"Swish swish swish swish!"

Qin Qing clapped his hands rapidly, creating overlapping palm imprints.

He didn’t want to give Lu Yuming any chance to catch his breath.

This battle was too difficult, with too many variables; a moment of carelessness could spell doom for either of them!

"Die!"

Qin Qing’s palm ferociously struck towards the top of Lu Yuming’s head.

But just at that moment—

"Buzz buzz!"

Golden patterns of light appeared once again.

"Another Body-Protecting Talisman!"

Qin Qing cursed inwardly.

Lu Yuming’s background was indeed remarkably solid.

Body-Protecting Talismans were coming one after another.

"What a pity... I was just a tad too slow; otherwise, I wouldn’t have given Lu Yuming the chance to activate the talisman!" Qin Qing thought to himself.

Even Body-Protecting Talismans mostly needed to be actively activated.

Like the previous occasion, Lu Yuming’s talisman did not require activation; it would automatically trigger in the face of a mortal threat.

But such talismans were extremely rare and incredibly precious.

Lu Yuming probably only had one of those on him.

This time, however, the Body-Protecting Talisman was triggered by Lu Yuming himself.

Qin Qing was just a hair too slow; otherwise, Lu Yuming would not have even had the chance to activate the talisman, and his head would have been split open.

Now, Lu Yuming was once again enveloped within a gold Defensive Shield.

Clenching a mouthful of bloodied teeth, he glared at Qin Qing hatefully.

Then he flipped over to get up.

Qin Qing clapped his palms towards him once more, but the golden shield around Lu Yuming was unbreakable.

With an empty grab, the Azure Dragon Spear that had fallen far away flew back to Qin Qing’s hand.

"Primordial Unity!"

Grabbing the Azure Dragon Spear, Qin Qing charged forward, the spear’s radiance slashing rapidly, falling like a torrential downpour upon the golden shield around Lu Yuming.

Compared to the Tablet Splitting Palm, using the Azure Dragon Spear’s killing power was greater.

"Boom!"

The Defensive Shield finally collapsed around Lu Yuming, and he once again smashed heavily to the ground.

But the instant he landed, another Body-Protecting Talisman appeared in Lu Yuming’s hands.

Clenching his teeth, Lu Yuming channeled Spiritual Power into the talisman.

In a flash, a new Defensive Shield formed around Lu Yuming.

"Hm?" Qin Qing’s brows knitted together.

"Sure are a lot of Body-Protecting Talismans, this has to be the third one!" Qin Qing scoffed.

Body-Protecting Talismans were very precious, and having even one was considered good for an ordinary person. Even members of major families were not likely to have one for each individual.

For instance, people like Guan Yun and Shangguan Feixing might not necessarily have one.

Yet Lu Yuming had already produced three Body-Protecting Talismans in a row.

"The legacy of an older family really does make a difference!"

Wielding the Azure Dragon Spear, Qin Qing charged again.

"I refuse to believe that your body-protecting talisman hasn’t run out yet!"

"Boom!"

Lu Yuming was blasted away once more.

He spat out several mouthfuls of blood again, and there were sounds of breaking bones coming from his body.

Although the defensive shield triggered by the body-protecting talisman could defend against most attacks, directly dissolving lethal damage,

it didn’t mean it could completely block all damage.

The force of the formidable impact could still strike the defensive shield, and the shield could only transfer this power to Lu Yuming’s body.

Lu Yuming himself had already expended a great amount of energy, and now, with serious injuries, this impact force was something he simply couldn’t withstand.

At this point, Lu Yuming had completely lost the power to resist, let alone counterattack.

If it weren’t for the defensive spirit talisman, he would have died hundreds of times over.

But right now, although Lu Yuming hadn’t been killed, he was in an extremely sorry state, flung here and there like a lump of mud, blood everywhere— in his mouth, ears, eyes.

"Stop! Qin Qing, stop!!"

Lu Yuming panicked.

He shouted loudly, demanding Qin Qing stop—

And around the fighting stage, all the spectators were stunned.

By this time, there was no longer any suspense in the battle.

And the outcome was different from everyone’s expectations.

In the beginning, almost no one was optimistic about Qin Qing. Lu Yuming gave up the fight against Zhao Qilin and directly declared his defeat, specifically to challenge Qin Qing, which could be said to be extremely confident.

Of course, there were also a few who thought Qin Qing might emerge as the dark horse, but no one could have anticipated the fight would be so intense and have so many twists.

And now, everything seemed to have reached a conclusion!

"Qin Qing, stop!" Lu Yu’an could no longer hold back. He rushed forward, ready to leap onto the fighting stage.

However, an invisible prohibitive formation stopped him on the outside.

"Qin Qing, stop now, don’t make a mistake," Lu Yu’an said with an icy voice. "There’s still time!"

"Stop?" Qin Qing turned his head, a cold smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth, "You want me to stop now? When I was being suppressed by Lu Yuming and nearly died, did you ever ask him to stop?"

Lu Yuming was executing the Black Sun Spear Technique, and he was a mere hair’s breadth away from killing Qin Qing.

If it weren’t for Qin Qing grasping the third step of the Sky-splitting Step Technique at the very last moment, he would have already been lying on the platform, a corpse.

Back then, no one jumped out to ask Lu Yuming to stop!

"You’re different!" Lu Yu’an roared, "If you died, that would be it. No one would avenge you, but if you kill my brother, you will be making an enemy of the entire Lu family. Not even the royal family would dare kill a member of the Lu family on a whim!"

Lu Yuming howled in rage, his voice thick with threat.

"Heh heh!" Qin Qing’s face showed a mocking smile, "So now you resort to threatening me? And what’s this about how if I die, it’s just my death, but the people of the Lu family can’t die?"

"What if I really want to kill him today?"

With a wave of his hand, Qin Qing’s spear light once again slashed onto Lu Yuming’s body.

"Boom!"

Lu Yuming was sent flying again, his body breaking in several places, and the golden glow of the protective shield around him was growing dimmer.

"Qin Qing, hold back. Spare me! I surrender, I truly surrender!" Lu Yuming gave in.

"Let’s just stop this. Spare me, and I swear I won’t pursue this any further!"

Lu Yuming softened, his voice filled with earnest pleading.

"So you know to beg for mercy now?" Qin Qing said, half-smiling, "Do you think I will spare you?"

"Qin Qing, spare my brother!" Lu Yu’an quickly changed his tone as well, "Spare my brother, and whatever conditions you ask, I promise to satisfy them!"

"Really? Whatever condition I ask, you will satisfy?" Qin Qing turned his head to look at Lu Yu’an and asked.

"Yes, certainly!"

Qin Qing chuckled and shook his head, "Too bad, I don’t want to ask for any conditions!"

"I only want one thing— his death!"

Qin Qing’s expression turned cold as his Azure Dragon Spear once again furiously slashed at Lu Yuming.
