Chapter 150: Piercing Through the Veil

Must admit, at this moment, Cao Dou felt extremely startled inwardly by Su Yi's strength. Although Su Yi possessed no Dou Qi, he seemed to wield a considerable amount of raw physical force. This brute strength had caught the previously careless Cao Dou off guard, causing him to suffer a covert loss. What shocked Cao Dou even more was that, based on their brief exchange, Su Yi's raw strength had reached nearly the level of a Tenth-Rank Dou Zhe! And his opponent was merely a youth under twenty years of age!

If this level of strength remained innate and unchangeable, it would be one thing, but if it could be cultivated and grown... continuing at this rate would undoubtedly be quite terrifying! Compared to him, the talent of the first-place winner in this Martial Trial Tournament would pale into insignificance. Facing an opponent with such a chance for developmental potential, failing to eliminate him would likely result in a future calamity! Following this, the astonishment and doubt in Cao Dou's heart finally completely transformed into murderous intent!

"No matter what kind of anomalies you possess... today you will never leave Lunluo City alive!" With his murderous intent fully erupting, Cao Dou's voice also turned frigid. The killing intent, intertwined with the fluctuations of his Dou Qi aura, raged like a violent gale inside the room!

Sensing the oncoming pressure, Su Yi's expression could not help changing slightly. Although he had been sent stumbling back several steps just now and appeared to be at a disadvantage, he had not suffered any injuries, only some minor, inconsequential numbness. It seemed that the training he had undergone all along the way was effective; his offensive power had not increased much, but his defensive power had grown considerably. One could say he had already become "thick-skinned and tough-fleshed."

However, if he were to rely solely on these as his trump cards, they still seemed slightly weak. After all, relying exclusively on defense could not kill the opponent...

Subconsciously touching the Black Dragon Tendew wrapped around his arm, Su Yi's expression turned even more solemn. If he were able to use this Black Dragon Tendon, launching a sudden strike to defeat or even kill Cao Dou would not be an impossible feat. Yet, at present, he was in a state of possessing a sharp weapon but being unable to wield it, which undoubtedly greatly reduced his overall combat capability... If only someone else could use it...

Su Yi's brows suddenly twitched slightly as he thought of Qin Shou. This was the Qin family estate; he wondered if these people, when coming to kill him, would deal with the people here along the way? If he could find Qin Shou and let him use the Black Dragon Tendon, he should be able to kill Cao Dou and the others, just like how he previously relied on Yao Xin to eliminate a Twelfth-Rank Dou Xiu!

At this thought, Su Yi shifted his body and darted toward the doorway, intending to break out and flee. Cao Dou, who had been locking his gaze onto Su Yi all along, sneered upon seeing this. Moving his feet and raising a large palm, he unleashed a strike directly at Su Yi's forehead with fierce vital energy!

"Wanting to run? Not that easy!"

As the fierce wind assailed him, Su Yi did not appear particularly flustered. Instead, he let out a low chuckle, spun his body in mid-air, and violently kicked toward Cao Dou's palm. Fist and foot collided, and the bursting vital energy shattered abruptly, causing the surrounding air to emit a low whistle!

"Boom!——"

Su Yi's figure was blasted backward in an instant, but using this rebound force, he broke through the door like an arrow leaving a bow, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye. Cao Dou, who had also been shaken back several steps, stabilized his stance and immediately discovered that Su Yi had already escaped. At that, his expression turned utterly gloomy, his hands clenched tightly with veins bulging on the back of his hands!

"Su Yi, let's see just how far you can run!"

...

On the other side, Qin Shou was walking along the bluestone path toward the direction of the back courtyard. Along the way, he felt somewhat puzzled as to why, after waiting for a long time, neither his wife nor his younger brother had returned. Unawares, a vague sense of bad premonition began to brew in his heart, and when he perceived that something seemed amiss throughout the entire Qin estate, this ominous feeling grew even deeper...

"What on earth is going on today? I've walked for half a day and haven't even seen a single shadow..." Qin Shou furrowed his brows and thought silently to himself. Although the number of people hired by the Qin family due to financial issues was not large at present, it shouldn't be scarce to this extent, right? It was as if the entire Qin estate was completely empty, with only him alone... Could it be that something had happened to the Qin estate during his absence? ...

Pausing his steps slightly, Qin Shou snapped out of his thoughts, raised his head, and looked around. It turned out he had walked near a rockery in the courtyard. This rockery could be considered one of the larger structures within the Qin estate, featuring interconnected caves and planted with numerous evergreen trees in all four seasons, presenting quite a unique scenery.

Examining the rockery complex before him, Qin Shou thought it would actually be quite suitable for hiding people. He then lifted his foot, preparing to leave, but suddenly, a strange sound quietly crept into Qin Shou's ears, causing his just-lifted foot to drop back down...

The sound seemed somewhat ethereal and hazy, yet at the same time, it appeared quite clear. This was the sound of panting... Yes, it was the sound of intentionally suppressed panting. Among the sounds were the gasps of a woman and the breathing of a man; the moans revealed pleasure, lustful and uninhibited, almost accelerating one's heartbeat and stirring wild imaginations...

"This is..." Qin Shou froze slightly. He was not an inexperienced greenhorn; naturally, he could guess what kind of sounds these were. But who on earth would be so bold as to commit such an act in broad daylight? Moreover, although the woman's panting fluctuated in volume and remained hazy, it carried an inexplicable, vague sense of familiarity, which greatly heightened the suspicions in his heart.

Striving not to make any noise, Qin Shou paced forward stealthily, gradually approaching the source of the sound. A moment later, he turned a corner of the rockery, and the figures of a man and a woman leaning against the side of the rockery abruptly burst into his field of vision. The woman was standing upright, with her hands supporting the stone wall of the rockery, her clothes disheveled and loose, vaguely revealing the scenery in front of her chest...

The woman was naked from the waist down, her plump and fair buttocks thus exposed in the harsh daylight. The man behind her was pressing his lower body tightly against the woman's frame, chuckling lewdly without stop as he said, "Sister-in-law, your body is truly marvelous, making it impossible for me to control myself..."

Amidst the moans, the woman endured wave after wave of assault coming from behind without uttering a word...

However, hearing this, Qin Shou's heart received a violent shock. He was extremely familiar with the man's voice; it was none other than his consistently good-for-nothing younger brother, Qin Ren! And speaking of sister-in-law, could it be...?! Shifting his gaze, Qin Shou looked toward the woman's face, and his expression instantly turned into one of disbelief and utter stupefaction! The woman, whose face was flushed with intoxication and enjoyment at that moment, was none other than his own wife!

"You two!"

With his body trembling unconsciously, Qin Shou took a few steps forward, his facial muscles twitching in rage as he pointed a trembling finger at the pair, followed by a furious roar! He never expected that these two individuals would behind his back commit such a shameless act! All these years, he had been struggling alone outside, desperately earning money to support his family, and this was how his own flesh-and-blood younger brother and the woman he loved repaid him!!

Startled violently by this suddenly erupting, thunderous roar, the entangled man and woman instinctively separated from each other at once. Hastily straightening her clothes in her panic, the woman raised her head to look toward the source of the voice. Upon seeing that the newcomer was Qin Shou, her pretty, fair, and tender face turned deathly pale in an instant!

"Hus... Husband?!"

Compared to the young matron, Qin Ren's expression was slightly better. Although he had also worn a look of panic just moments before, it seemed as though he remembered something shortly after, causing his expression to steady somewhat. Looking at the furious Qin Shou, he grinned broadly and chuckled, "Hehe, so it turns out Big Brother is back..."

"You beast, shut your mouth! How could you do such a shameless thing to your sister-in-law?!" Qin Shou pointed at Qin Ren, his eyes blazing entirely red with uncontrollable rage as he roared viciously.

"Big Brother puts it that way... As the saying goes, it takes two hands to clap, so this can't entirely be blamed on me, right?..." As time ticked on, the unnatural expression on Qin Ren's face gradually faded. The fear and apprehension he used to hold toward his eldest brother Qin Shou seemed to have completely vanished by now. Therefore, not only was there no guilt or remorse in his tone of voice, but there was even a tit-for-tat attitude instead.

"You!——" Qin Shou was so angry that he was beside himself, his gaze seeming as though it could spit fire. Then, shifting his gaze, he fixed it on the young matron, clenching his fists tightly as he asked coldly, "And what about you? Do you have anything to say?"

Ever since Qin Shou appeared, the young matron had maintained a look of terror and guilt, clutching her clothes to cover her modesty with her head slightly bowed, standing there without uttering another word. Hearing Qin Shou's inquiry at this moment, her gaze darted evasively, not daring to meet his eyes. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately failed to speak...

"Hehe... Big Brother shouldn't blame Sister-in-law either. Who told Big Brother to frequently be away from home, leaving Sister-in-law with no choice but to guard an empty chamber, enduring the unbearable loneliness..." Qin Ren glanced at the young matron and chuckled lewdly. "Though, come to think of it, the first time, Sister-in-law did put up some resistance... Later on, perhaps she got a taste for it, so she half-yielded and left herself at my mercy... Haha, put that way, you bear some responsibility for this matter too—"

Upon imagining his beloved woman stripped bare and pinned beneath another man for amusement, with that man happen to be his own biological younger brother, Qin Shou's eyes instantly turned blood-red. With a shrill cry, the strength of a Ninth-Rank Dou Zhe erupted entirely at this moment!

Driven mad by overwhelming rage and fury, Qin Shou lunged forward, appearing before Qin Ren in an instant. Waving his hand, he delivered a palm strike directly downward toward Qin Ren's forehead! Although Qin Shou was now the head of the household, strictly speaking, he was merely a man in his mid-twenties, lacking the cunning and deep-seated patience of old foxes. Overcome by a sudden rush of heat to the head, he cast aside all reservations, desiring only to strike down this beast who had stolen his brother's wife with a single blow!

Qin Shou had once experienced the marvel of his wife's body, which only deepened the bitter hatred in his heart toward his younger brother Qin Ren; this strike was executed almost without any holding back! Yet the Qin Ren opposite him seemed not to have anticipated that his eldest brother would attack so swiftly and viciously! A fierce wind assailed his face, and expressions of astonishment and terror flashed instantly across Qin Ren's abruptly pale countenance. Accustomed entirely to eating, drinking, and making merry without ever cultivating Dou Qi, how could he possibly match his eldest brother?

For a moment, unsure whether he had been frightened out of his wits, Qin Ren's legs trembled slightly as he stood frozen in place without moving an inch, looking as though he were simply awaiting his execution—then came a muffled sound of bodily impact, followed by a low grunt from Qin Shou as his body was sent flying backwards into the air!
