Chapter 421: Chapter 421: The Retribution I Bestow Upon You_1

If it weren’t for the incident today, Li Qing might not have even realized such a change had occurred within him.

Facing battles and killings, he now felt an indifferent mindset, with not a ripple stirring in his heart.

Sitting on the roof of the off-road vehicle, Li Qing reflected on these events again and again.

He roughly had a direction for his judgment.

He suspected that his mind might have been influenced by the memories of Li Yuanxian.

Li Yuanxian’s life could be said to have been spent almost entirely in conquest.

The first half of his life was consumed by battles, and the latter half by the cutthroat intrigue of the imperial court.

Even after death, he didn’t have peace, still fighting with the neighbor whose details were unknown to him.

To Li Yuanxian, the troubles that Li Qing currently faced were minuscule, child’s play.

However, after deep thought, Li Qing felt that there were actually some benefits to this situation.

As long as he could control the sudden violent killing thoughts that sprang to mind, having decisive killer instincts wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Facing the current situation, it wouldn’t do to be timid.

The driver cautiously held up his phone and approached the car, saying, "My big... no, Qi Guoyuan is coming soon."

"How many people has he brought with him?" Li Qing asked with a smile.

This kid who kept saying he held no significant status must have a higher position in the Qi Family than Qi Chuanyu.

But Li Qing didn’t care much about that.

He indeed needed someone to relay a message and bring Qi Guoyuan here.

This desolate place was indeed a perfect spot to settle a private feud.

"I’m not sure, he didn’t say over the phone, but I guess there will be quite a few... otherwise, big brother, why don’t you run?" the driver cautiously suggested to Li Qing.

Li Qing lightly raised an eyebrow and asked with a chuckle, "Do you really want me to run?"

"No, no, that’s not what I meant, big brother, it’s just... you might run into trouble; I’m totally thinking of your best interest," the driver stammered.

"I appreciate your kindness, now you can go find some rope and figure out how to tie yourself up," Li Qing said, "so I don’t accidentally make you one of them."

"Okay okay, I’m tying up now!" the driver responded repeatedly.

He opened the trunk, took a bundle of rope from inside, walked to a nearby tree, wound the rope around the tree several times, then threaded himself through the loops, pulled the rope tight, tied a knot, and bound himself to the tree.

Li Qing did not bother to see how the driver had managed to tie himself up.

Instead, the items in the trunk caught his attention.

A chainsaw, an axe, knives, a pair of pliers with tiger-head design, iron chains, and assorted small tools.

All these were prepared for him by Qi Sanxian.

Li Qing thought of the consequences he would have faced if he hadn’t obtained Black Arrow by chance, and the suppressed killing intent in his heart surged uncontrollably.

His eyes glinting with a cold light, he stared at the neatly lying bodies of Qi Sanxian and the other two, gripped a dagger in reverse, and walked slowly towards them.

If others wanted to kill him, his killing them was completely justified.

This reasoning mixed with the killing intent flooded his mind in an instant, steadfast and unyielding.

Suddenly, the sound of an engine from a car echoed from the distance.

This sudden intrusion of noise snapped Li Qing back to reality.

He took a deep breath quickly, forcibly suppressing the killing intent within him.

Decisiveness in battle could be present, but thoughts of killing must absolutely not arise.

He repeated this warning to himself several times, reminding himself.

The adverse effects of Li Yuanxian’s memories were somewhat terrifying.

After steadying his mind, Li Qing looked toward the long line of cars driving their way.

As expected, it must be Qi Guoyuan arriving.

The scale of the entourage was indeed grand.

The string of five or six cars stopped not far from his off-road vehicle.

One by one, figures emerged from the cars.

In the blink of an eye, a group of around twenty people gathered.

The magnitude of their presence was quite intimidating.

Li Qing calmly watched them as they moved closer, his eyes settling on Qi Guoyuan at the forefront, the old man’s strides were strong and confident, his eyes wolfish.

"Li Qing, do you really want to go to the bitter end with my Qi Family?" Qi Guoyuan barked loudly, standing two steps away from Li Qing.

Li Qing’s gaze was indifferent, "I was actually going to ask what exactly the Qi Family meant by this, but now I see, there seems to be no need for that. You want to kill me but not allow me to fight back? Is that not laughable?"

Whoosh!

The Black Arrow hovering behind Li Qing instantly turned into a dark shadow, piercing through the brow of someone standing behind Qi Guoyuan.

As the man thudded to the ground, Li Qing abruptly took a step forward.

"Old thief, since you treat me as a soft persimmon, to be squashed at will, then I’ll let you watch as your kin die one by one before your eyes!" Li Qing’s rage surged as he roared fiercely.

His finger jabbed forward, and the Black Arrow turned into a black streak, piercing through one brow after another.

The sounds of bodies thudding to the ground rose and fell in succession.

Qi Guoyuan suddenly turned, the scene before him causing his eyes to nearly split with fury.

"Second brother! Third brother! Jia Hua..."

He cried out in horror, calling one name after another.

In just the span of a breath, the only ones left standing were Qi Guoyuan and Daoist Shishan.

The once intimidating force had suddenly become littered corpses.

With a flick of his finger, the Black Arrow that others couldn’t see shot straight towards Daoist Shishan.

Puchi!

A blue flame suddenly erupted from the chest of Daoist Shishan.

He tried to snuff out the flames, crying out in horror, "Soul Magical Instrument!"

Pop!

After briefly being hindered, the Black Arrow smoothly passed through the brow of Daoist Shishan.

With terror in his eyes, the old Daoist with gray hair fell straight to the ground.

"Mr. Qi, you can collect the bodies now!"

Li Qing casually walked up to Qi Guoyuan, "Don’t worry, I won’t take your life!"

"I’ll just watch as you, an old dog, struggle on in this world!"

"Besides, I advise you not to act rashly again. If you dare lift a finger, I’ll turn you into a true lone soul with no kin,"

Qi Guoyuan glared with bloodshot eyes, his expression ferocious as he looked at Li Qing.

"You demon, just kill me too!"

Li Qing suddenly raised his hand, striking Qi Guoyuan fiercely across the face, "Old thing, murder begets murder!"

"This is the retribution I send to you, take it well!"

"Oh, and by the way, let me tell you a secret, don’t rush to bury them, they’re not completely dead yet."

"You’d do well to keep watch over them, they can still keep you company. If you have the ability, you might even try to bring them back to life."
