Chapter 1648: God in the Small World

Back in his room, Qin Yu wrinkled his nose and a helpless look crossed his face. He did not know how deep the Li Family residence was and what hidden cards they held. However, they would quickly understand that it was easier to invite the devil in than to send him away.

Qin Yu was not worried for Rourou. After all, even though she had lost some things recently, the Li Family would not be able to shake her.

In this world, one chose their own path. Since it was his choice, he had to be prepared to pay the price.

Shaking his head, Qin Yu closed his eyes and started cultivating. Somehow, the look of the manager from the Li Family kept appearing in his mind. He was like a snake wrapping Qin Yu’s mind tightly, refusing to let go no matter what!

Qin Yu opened his eyes and sighed. As expected, he was not good at cultivating peacefully and small matters continued to bother him. However, the real reason was that Rourou now occupied an important position in Qin Yu’s heart.

If this was back when the two of them first met, Qin Yu would not have been bothered with something like this. The Li Family was willing to die, then so be it. Rourou wanted to play and that was her choice.

He would sit by the side and enjoy the show. However, it was hard for him to isolate himself from such a situation now.

His heart was not at ease and the effectiveness of his cultivation decreased by half. Qin Yu eventually got up and exited the room. He sat below the old scholartree in the yard.

It was not an exaggeration to call it an old scholartree. Many thousands of years had passed and it finally reached a stage of enlightenment.

Natural cultivators like trees and grass worked hard for many years to achieve enlightenment. However if something went wrong in the process, many years of hard work would go to waste instantly.

Compared to other creatures in the world, these natural cultivators were at a disadvantage. However, the cycle of life in this world eventually turned out fair. It was difficult for these natural creatures to be successful, but once they were, they were very strong.

Of course, this old scholartree was a far cry away. The only thing it could do now was suck up to Rourou.

Qin Yu lifted his head and looked at the old scholartree. He calmly said, “There might be some disturbances tonight. I shall apologize in advance if your branches break.”

The old scholartree shivered slightly as though it was saying that it dared not accept Qin Yu’s apology. It even looked like it was fearful.

Xu Xianglin was still sleeping and Xu Zhiruo had to carefully examine the residence and ensure that everything was alright before she could return to her room.

Today was no exception.

She observed Qin Yu pick a random fruit off the old scholartree and sip its juice. Xu Xianglin scoffed and turned around.

There was a ‘bam’ and her doors closed.

The young miss of the Xu Family was truly an intelligent person and she struck a deal with Rourou. Furthermore, she knew that Qin Yu was not bothered about her. As such, she was bold.

Of course, she held anger in her heart and was displeased with Qin Yu because there was a more important reason.

Qin Yu did not turn around and his expression remained the same. He really did not care about her.

All his previous displays of helplessness and when he could only smile bitterly was because he hoped that Rourou could have more fun.

The young miss of the Xu Family was pretty, intelligent, and inherently kindhearted…but so what?

In the end, she was just a passing person in his life.

He merely need to ensure that he did no harm to her. There was no need to take care of her feelings and explain to her.

Sorry but there really wasn’t a need for that.

He drank from the wine fruit and then smashed it between his palms with a ‘bam’. The husk of the wine fruit broke apart and Qin Yu muttered, “I can’t forget that look, so I can only choose to kill you. Otherwise, I will not feel at ease.”

The fragments of the wine fruit’s husk dropped to Qin Yu’s feet. Qin Yu smiled and tilted his head up to gaze at the sky; he mumbled, “What does Rourou look at over here? Why do I not see anything?”

Below the old scholartree was a stone table. It had endured many years of wind and rain and the surface of it was rough and cracked. There were supposed to be four stone stools around the table, but only two were left now. Qin Yu sat on one with his back facing the stone table.

Right at that moment, his eyes narrowed as he observed the sky darken. His fingers drummed against his thigh.

A wine fruit fragment rose from the ground and appeared in front of Qin Yu. With a light snap of his fingers, the wine fruit fragment disappeared into the darkness.

A few hundred feet from the Xu Family was a large tree. The expression of the person below the tree faltered, but before he could move, something pierced through his forehead and he immediately turned pale. Instantly, his body fell to the ground lifelessly with a ‘bam’.

People beside him were stunned and they looked towards the courtyard of the Xu Family. Their eyes appeared icy cold.

“We have been found!”

“It seems that this person is not easy to deal with.”

“Who cares how strong he is. Kill him and we will be rich!”

“Let’s go!”

The group had been discovered and there was no use hiding anymore. With a yell, a few figures rushed out of the darkness. They were targeting the yard of the Xu Family.

Qin Yu slapped his knee and a large wine fruit fragment rose from the ground. He swiped his sleeves and the wine fruit fragment flew out.

Pop –

Pop –

Pop –

With every pop, a figure’s body was shot through in the darkness. Blood and flesh spilled out and life flowed out of them.

Under the old scholartree, Qin Yu had a helpless look. He continued to mumble to himself, “Sending these kinds of men out to kill me. Aren’t you looking down on me?”

He stood up and looked at the sky. His eyes gazed past the branches of the old scholartree and he stared at the deep blanket of darkness in the sky.

Tonight, there was not a single star visible in the sky.

It was definitely not an ordinary night.

“After hiding for so long, it is about time for you to act. Unless, you want to wait till day breaks?” As he said this, Qin Yu threw a punch forward.

Bam –

A large branch of the old scholartree broke apart instantly. The force of the punch felt like a dragon rising to the heavens and it targeted the blanket of darkness above.

Shoosh –

One by one, the stars appeared. They were so bright that they were blinding. They scattered across the entire night sky and enveloped Qin Yu and the old scholartree.

A few figures appeared from the skies. Their bodies were curved and they cried in pain as they shivered uncontrollably. They had not obtained their human form and carried a branch of the scholartree on their backs. This was the real form of the old scholartree.

Now, it was immersed in the starlight and it felt like it was in a deep fryer. It fell to the ground and started twitching as it cried painfully, “Immortal, please save me, save me!”

Qin Yu shook his head, “Although I apologized in advance for breaking its branch, I did not say that I will kill it…after all, it is hard for a plant to gain enlightenment. It would be such a waste to burn it.”

With a stomp, the ground shook violently and shockwaves spread out in all directions.

There was a ‘boom’ and it felt like the world had changed. All the rules around him disintegrated.

Qin Yu sensed his own powers and he could not help sighing. No wonder they said that the higher one’s cultivation realm, the more one would understand how deep the world was.

He was in the Ruler realm now, a realm that could reach the heavens. This was starkly different from his beginnings.

For instance, the way he interacted with the world seemed to go smoothly. However, it actually felt like he created a small world in the world, which he was the god of.

Qin Yu’s attack was still considered shallow compared to elites. However, using this against the assassination attempt tonight was bullying the rest.

He lifted his finger and pointed it out. With a light snap, one of the stars in the sea of stars before him instantly got destroyed.

There was a hollow ‘boom’ and the silhouette of the cultivator that was hidden in the darkness flickered for a brief second. The horror and shock in his bulging wide eyes could be made out.

This action of ‘taking the stars and using them for himself’ was an incomplete skill, however, its powers were mysterious and wonderful and it was considered hard to master. In history, even Rulers were not able to escape from it once they were trapped inside.

However, today, his target casually pointed a finger and destroyed one of the points in the array of stars. This was the first time that he was forced to reveal himself. Although his target’s actions appeared very casual when he pointed the finger, it made him tremble in fear.

“Attack!”

According to the terminology of the Central Desolate, this cultivator was called an Array Master. He held an important role in this assassination attempt. As he yelled, sword lights appeared in the sky and targeted the middle of Qin Yu’s forehead.

The speed of the attack was as fast as lightning but the user of the sword light had his eyes wide open in shock. The sword light was stuck between two fingers, and it seemed to have gotten trapped in the rumored Trapping Sword Pool; there was no way for it to budge.

In Qin Yu’s opinion, this sword cultivator was a decisive man. He immediately shouted and released his sword to retreat backward. At the same time, he did not hesitate to self destruct his sword.

This would cause a huge blow to him, but if he did not do this, he would die.

Unfortunately, the truth was that he was still going to die even though he did this.

The long sword was destroyed instantly and it broke apart into numerous fragments, carrying an immense amount of energy. It was going to explode in a menacing way.

However, before it could explode, the fragments were grabbed lightly by five fingers. They were held tightly within the first and were molded into a steel ball.

“Back to you.”

The five fingers casually threw the steel ball back. The steel ball flew forward, directly into the chest of the sword cultivator. His eyes bulged wide open and blood poured out of his nose, mouth, and ears. In the next instant, it felt like he was thrown into a sea of dancing swords and he was sliced apart into many pieces.

The smell of blood in the air was strong!

With the death of the sword cultivator, the Array Master gasped in shock. He made a mistake in the assassination today. This man who remained behind in the house was much more powerful than he expected.

How was he at the initial Ruler realm? Even a peak Ruler would not be this strong.

The desire to kill him was instantly gone, and he only wanted to escape this place.

“The master has given his orders. If you don’t kill this man, we will all die!”

Boom –

The surface of the earth cracked and an assassin who had hidden in the earth revealed himself at this moment. At the same time, a large net appeared in the air. It was a bright green color. A single look at it would cause one’s heart to tighten as it was very gross!

Howoever, the real killing move did not come from the bright green net. Although it was scary, it was more like a vision-obstructing tool.

Eyes were attracted to the green net, but at that moment, a silver-colored robe that was almost translucent fell gently onto Qin Yu. It was like the kind of clothing that women wore to seduce men.

Then, a real lady appeared. She was stuck to Qin Yu’s back and she had an elegant figure. She said, “Don’t move. If you do, you will die.”

This was the female cultivator with the pink skirt who had been beside Li Yuantai. She actually particpated in tonight’s assassination.

Qin Yu was bound by the robe and he could only hear the harsh mumble by his ear and smell her fragrant scent. He could not help frowning.

The Array Master was the one who ordered the men to attack and he originally wanted to take the opportuity to run away. At this point, he was momentarily stunned. Was he seeing wrongly? This person used such a fierce attack but she did not have a final move to kill him off. As an Array Master, he had an important identity. He could not compare with the rest.

Even if he abandoned the array and escaped, the master could only punish him. Otherwise, he would be accompanying the rest of his comrades to death if he remained here.

The assassin who came out of the ground suddenly glowed brightly. Armor appeared like flowing water, covering his entire body.

He threw a punch towards Qin Yu’s chest. The punch split the air and there was a sharp sound. It seemed like he did not care for the woman who was on Qin Yu’s back. He would kill them both with this attack.

Qin Yu sighed slightly. The punch headed towards him seemed to have entered a swamp and it could not move. The flirtatious female cultivator on his back was repelled away and the light silver net on Qin Yu’s body split apart into multiple fragments.

“It seems that you guys are the only one here tonight. But this is within expectations…a King realm cultivator would not interfere with something like this.”

The armored assassin did not hesitate to break his arms and beg for mercy. However, the moment he retreated, there was a thud and he fell to the ground lifelessly.

The armor around him shrunk to become a shining bright silver armor pellet. The face of the assassin inside was revealed. It was the Li Family manager who came in the horse carriage and dragged Rourou and White Iris away.

“I told you that you were going to die. I have to keep to my word.”

Qin Yu pointed his finger out. The female cultivator wore a pained look. Between her clean brows, there was a transparent hole.

However, the one who had the most tragic death was the Array Master. He used a hidden technique to try to escape from the area. He had almost succeeded, but this meant that Qin Yu used all his strength.

The space shifted and the Array Master instantly turned to dust.

He previously reminded Rourou not to kill too many people to avoid creating too much trouble. However, he turned around and killed a large group of people.

Qin Yu shook his head silently and he turned around and smiled, “Why haven’t you taken action?”
