The sky had gradually darkened, and the tavern was becoming even more crowded.
"Miss, look at that man." The yellow-clothed maid Sisi gently nudged her mistress and quietly pointed at Qin Yu.
"What is it, Sisi?" Lin Lin looked puzzled. "Isn’t he the person we saw on Fengyue Star decades ago?" Lin Lin recognized Qin Yu at a glance.
Sisi frowned and whispered to Lin Lin, "Miss, you know this man is quite cold, right?"
"He is quite a cold person. What about it?" Lin Lin was full of questions.
Sisi continued, "Just now he looked at you. When he looked at you...that look, well, how do I put it? Very melancholic, very sad, as if he was looking at his own lover," Sisi slowly explained.
"Lover?" Lin Lin’s expression stiffened, then she couldn’t help but glare at Sisi with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "You crazy girl, don’t talk nonsense."
"I’m not talking nonsense," Sisi retorted.
"You say you’re not talking nonsense, really now," Lin Lin said with a slight smile. Sisi, however, wore a troubled expression; she had indeed seen that melancholic and sad look on Qin Yu’s face.
"Ah, look at his expression now," Sisi hurriedly said.
Lin Lin looked up.
At that moment, Qin Yu was holding a wine glass in his left hand, but his eyes were fixed on the gloomy sky outside of the tavern’s balustrade, his face filled with sadness.
"If Han Shu were still alive..."
A bitter smile appeared on Qin Yu’s face, but regardless, that was no longer possible.
At this time, Qin Yu’s mind was filled with scenes of his interactions with Liu Hanshu—from their first meeting to becoming master and disciple, the scene where Liu Hanshu talked about falling in love with a girl, to the sight of Liu Hanshu bleeding from seven orifices and dying.
The unwilling gaze at the time of death was also something Qin Yu couldn’t forget.
Perhaps that unwilling gaze was for her!
Qin Yu’s gaze moved to a girl in green clothes.
At this moment, Lin Lin was watching Qin Yu. Seeing Qin Yu looking over, Lin Lin was slightly taken aback but quickly responded with a nod, smiling; Qin Yu was momentarily startled, then also nodded back with a smile.
Then Qin Yu slowly continued to eat and drink.
After a while...
"Lady, would you be my Daoist partner?" A deep voice rang out across the entire tavern, making everyone listening feel a shiver down their spine, and it seemed as if a faint scent of blood suffused the tavern.
Qin Yu turned his head to look.
A pale-faced youth stood in the middle of the tavern, his long blood-red hair only tied back with a golden ribbon, and a saber hung at his waist.
At this moment, the red-haired youth was staring at Lin Lin.
"Presumptuous." Sisi shouted sharply, her eyes filled with anger.
The red-haired youth ignored Sisi’s scolding and kept his gaze fixed on Lin Lin, "Lady, I, Guo Nu, a warrior of the Blood Demon Demon Path, earnestly ask you to become my Daoist partner. I can guarantee that in this life, you will be my only Daoist partner; I will never leave you."
Lin Lin frowned.
"You’re sick," Sisi cursed angrily.
Sisi’s curse represented the thoughts of almost everyone in the tavern; this red-haired youth’s sudden desire to make Lin Lin his Daoist partner was indeed bizarre and deranged.
"You," the red-haired youth stared at Sisi, "shut up."
As he spoke, his left hand, which had been resting on the Short Sword at his waist, swept out like Lightning, and Sisi was helplessly smashed to the side, blood escaping from her mouth.
"I’ll ask again, will you or will you not be my Daoist partner?" the redhead youth stared coldly at Lin Lin.
Lin Lin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Now only a third-level Heavenly Immortal, she was far weaker than Sisi, who had been utterly powerless to resist. What could she do?
"Guo Nu, right?" Lin Lin maintained a slight smile on her face.
"Yes," Guo Nu nodded. "Blood Demon Demon Path Warrior, Guo Nu!"
"Alright, Guo Nu," Lin Lin took a deep breath and said, "forming a Daoist partnership requires the willingness of both parties. I’m unwilling now, and you can’t force me, understand?"
Guo Nu shook his head firmly, his eyes fixed on Lin Lin, his voice cold, "I am more skilled than you, stronger than you, you cannot refuse."
Lin Lin’s expression stiffened.
"The weak must depend on the strong, this is the iron law of our Demon World," Guo Nu spoke vigorously.
"Youngster from the Demon World, this is Hidden Emperor Star, the land of the Hidden Emperor. Don’t be too presumptuous here," a middle-aged man who couldn’t stand watching any longer stood up and shouted angrily.
The redhead youth glanced at him, "Fifth-level Golden Immortal, you’re no match for me. Speak more nonsense, and your fate will be death."
The middle-aged man, locked in the glare of the redhead youth, felt as though he had been targeted by the grim reaper. He had no doubt that if he spoke another word, the redhead youth’s War Saber would leap from its scabbard.
With just one sentence, the tavern fell silent.
Qin Yu was watching.
He could tell that this redhead youth was a Blood Demon Demon Path master who had walked out from a life-and-death struggle, but even if he was a formidable expert, Qin Yu would not allow him to mistreat the girl in green clothes.
Because... the girl in green was the woman his disciple cherished.
Qin Yu could judge that the redhead youth hadn’t yet threatened the girl in green, and unless she was in danger, he would not intervene.
"From the way that maid was thrown aside, it seems this redhead youth exercised quite some restraint," Qin Yu glanced at Sisi who had already stood up and made her way to Lin Lin’s side. It was only a superficial wound.
"Miss, this person is too much; let’s go back and call senior brother to deal with him," Sisi whispered in Lin Lin’s ear.
"One last chance, will you become my Daoist partner?" the redhead youth’s eyes turned icy.
Even the usually amiable Lin Lin was provoked, "Guo Nu, you are from the Demon World, but I am from the Immortal Realm. You in the Demon World might force others to become your Daoist partner, but as someone from the Immortal Realm, I do not accept this."
Lin Lin pointed toward the tavern stairs, "Get out, I don’t want to see someone like you."
A smile suddenly appeared on the redhead youth’s face, he muttered to himself, "Strange, how strange. People from the Immortal Realm are just as Master described, so indecisive, so verbose."
"Master said to be polite on Hidden Emperor Star, but it seems politeness is useless. The methods of the Demon World are more effective," the redhead youth said, and his right hand reached straight for Lin Lin.
Lin Lin’s face changed.
All this time, Qin Yu, who had been quietly watching, had a flash of cold light in his eyes.
"Bang!" A crisp sound of a fist striking.
The redhead youth staggered back two steps, then stared at the figure in a black robe that had abruptly appeared.
"Boom!"
The gloomy sky finally thundered, whipping up a violent wind that made the tavern’s murals sway fiercely, while Qin Yu’s black robe billowed.
In the flickering of lightning, the redhead youth saw the stern face clearly.
Qin Yu gave Guo Nu a cold smile.
"Miss, do you recognize someone named Liu Hanshu?" Qin Yu suddenly spoke.
"Hanshu, you know Hanshu?" Lin Lin’s face showed surprise, "Sir, you know Hanshu, right? Can you tell me where he is now? Please."
Lin Lin’s face was full of urgency.
"What is your relationship with Hanshu?" Qin Yu gently asked.
"I, I, no, no relationship." Lin Lin was slightly shy.
Qin Yu’s face had a hint of a bitter smile.
He could tell that there were some vague feelings between Lin Lin and his disciple Hanshu, but the two had not yet reached the stage of expressing it to each other.
"Silly disciple," Qin Yu felt his whole heart clenched, it hurt, it really hurt.
The relationships had not even started, but Hanshu would never be able to begin. Even though the young girl also liked him in her heart.
"Sir, can you tell me where Hanshu is?" Lin Lin suppressed the shyness in her heart and hurriedly asked. At this moment, she didn’t even notice the red-haired boy; her mind was filled only with the sincere, shy boy from Fengyue Star.
"Hanshu, he is already dead."
Qin Yu said without mercy.
Lin Lin seemed as if she had been struck by thunder, completely stunned.
"Black-haired, step aside, I don’t want to fight with you without reason." The red-haired boy spoke at this moment, sensing the pressure from the person in front of him.
"Sir, you are lying to me, right?" Lin Lin squeezed out a smile, her face full of longing as she looked at Qin Yu, "Hanshu was so kind, his skills weren’t even at the level of a Heavenly Immortal, who would kill him? He never bullied those weaker than him, so good-hearted, who would have the heart to kill him? Sir, you must be lying to me."
At this moment, Lin Lin was still struggling to accept the result Qin Yu had given.
"I’m not lying to you, I am Hanshu’s master, and Hanshu died because of me." Qin Yu said coldly, but if you listened carefully, you could still detect the slight tremble in his voice.
Lin Lin’s expression was very pale.
But after a moment, she just bitterly smiled.
Qin Yu turned to look at the red-haired boy: "This young lady is the girl my disciple liked, and I will not allow anyone to insult him."
"Hanshu liked me?" Hearing what Qin Yu said, Lin Lin’s face flushed slightly.
The red-haired boy slowly drew his War Saber from its sheath, a Sharp War Saber, but as it was drawn, a thick scent of blood wafted from the saber, unimaginable how many had to be killed for the saber to emit such a terrifying scent of blood.
"I don’t care about the rest, I have taken a liking to her." The red-haired boy stared at Lin Lin, "So, she is mine, Guo Nu’s, and anyone who obstructs me, dies."
Qin Yu stared at Lin Lin, his eyes cold.
"Huh!"
Qin Yu’s hair fluttered open, and in that moment, Qin Yu and the red-haired boy almost attacked at the same time.
Qin Yu’s speed was extremely fast, especially after reaching the ’Black Hole Realm’, his figure flitted around without giving away the slightest hint of Qi Force, the Black Hole Power was more refined than the Dark Star Power.
The red-haired boy, Guo Nu, Eighth Level Demon King!
Qin Yu, early stage of the Black Hole. His internal energy attack power was nearly that of a Sixth Level Golden Immortal.
Sounds of continuous clashes were heard.
The two experts fought each other without revealing any Qi Force, normally such high-level experts fighting would likely have destroyed all surrounding buildings, but during Qin Yu and Guo Nu’s fight, even the tables and chairs in the tavern remained unscathed.
They parted ways.
"Such incredible speed." Guo Nu stared at Qin Yu.
"You reacted pretty quickly too," Qin Yu said, holding a Short Sword in his hand.
This was a Top-Grade Immortal Sword, not worthy of using the Divine Sword Heaven Breaking against the person before him.
Qin Yu glanced at Guo Nu and said indifferently, "I can tell you clearly that you are no match for me, and if you continue to be unreasonable, I will kill you without mercy."
Qin Yu knew that many of his techniques were useless; he had relied solely on speed and a lone Immortal Sword just now.
"Big talk," Guo Nu scoffed coldly.
Suddenly, Guo Nu’s eyes turned fiercely red, and with a "bang!" a wild burst of Qi Force unleashed from his body, instantly turning the entire tavern into debris. The patrons of the tavern had already left, while Lin Lin and Sisi had moved to watch from the street.
The floor of the tavern beneath Guo Nu’s feet turned into fragments, yet he remained in his original position, hovering in mid-air.
Qin Yu did the same.
"Utter nonsense," Qin Yu said with a cold smile.
Black Flame Monarch’s Ring—Gravity Domain!
Just as Guo Nu was about to attack, he suddenly felt a terrifying gravity, as if a towering mountain was crushing down on him, and his body plummeted.
"Bang!"
Qin Yu’s right leg swung ferociously, tracing an arc in the air, striking Guo Nu’s head with the cold ruthlessness of steel. "Bang!" Guo Nu’s head distorted strangely as his body was smashed away.
"Scram."
Qin Yu shouted coldly at Guo Nu from the air above East Star City.
He knew that this simple kick wouldn’t kill Guo Nu, he had shown mercy! But then... "Roar!" With a roar, Guo Nu flew back from a distance, appearing utterly frenzied.
"Gravity Domain?" Guo Nu wiped the corner of his mouth, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust revealing a cruel smirk.
"You overestimate yourself."
Real killing intent surfaced in Qin Yu’s heart; he had initially thought that Guo Nu was too naive, someone who had experienced killings since childhood. Hence, he had shown mercy. However, seeing the expression on Guo Nu’s face, Qin Yu realized... Guo Nu had completely given in to the Demon Path, taking pleasure in killing.
Guo Nu’s eyes turned blood red, and his crimson long hair fluttered.
Holding a War Saber, Guo Nu closed in on Qin Yu in a flash.
Qin Yu did not show mercy this time.
Yanxuan’s Ring—Double Gravity Domain!
After merging the Black Flame Monarch’s Ring and Bai Xuanjun’s Ring, this Yanxuan’s Ring could now execute the "Double Gravity Domain." Before, Qin Yu had shown mercy by using only a single Gravity Domain.
The sudden onset of the Double Gravity Domain caused every muscle and bone in Guo Nu’s body to crack and snap.
"How is his Gravity Domain so strong?" In disbelief, Guo Nu heard a calm voice.
"Die."
All Guo Nu felt was a soul-deep chill, and then his consciousness blurred. In his last moments, he only saw those cold eyes.
