Chapter 278: Chapter 278: Death Penalty May Be Avoided, But Punishment Cannot Escape!

"A Fifth-Grade Grandmaster?"

Su Luo was somewhat surprised by the formidable power bursting from Qin Tian’s body. The feeling that Qin Tian gave him was much like Zhuo Qingfeng back then.

Zhuo Qingfeng was a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster at the time.

However, Qin Tian was obviously a few years younger than Zhuo Qingfeng. By his reckoning, he should be about the same age as Su Luo.

But, a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster.

There was a trace of a cold smile at the corner of Su Luo’s mouth.

If it had been before, facing a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster, he would have had no choice but to run, or it would have been very difficult for him.

But now...

Su Luo looked towards Qin Tian and said indifferently, "If you don’t want to die with him, then step aside."

Qin Tian’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Su Luo, "Friend, it’s impressive that you’ve become a Martial Arts Grandmaster at such a young age, but don’t think you can act recklessly before me."

"Young Master Qin is a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster. How dare you offend him?" With Qin Tian’s protection, Li Jiangran finally felt emboldened, as he struggled to get up and berated Su Luo.

Qin Tian frowned.

He thought Li Jiangran was taking advantage of his backing, but at this moment, whether it was for the sake of his own pride or for his own benefit, he could not let Su Luo get away with this behavior here.

"Friend, don’t be obstinate. I’m giving you one last chance to back off. I won’t make things difficult for you," said Qin Tian.

"You won’t make things difficult for me?" Su Luo laughed.

Immediately after, he took a step forward and suddenly appeared right in front of Qin Tian.

"Boom."

With just one punch, Qin Tian’s whole face changed abruptly. Sensing an extreme crisis, he hastily blocked, but was still sent flying backwards by the force of the impact.

"Pfft!"

After landing, Qin Tian took several steps back before he could steady himself, but he couldn’t help spitting out a mouthful of blood mist.

"What do you think you are, saying you won’t make things difficult for me?" The smile on Su Luo’s face disappeared in an instant, turning into a cold expression.

Qin Tian was astonished.

He could never have imagined that in a small place like Yiling, he would encounter someone who seemed even younger than him but was stronger.

Who was this person?

After sending Qin Tian flying with one punch, Su Luo took another step. He moved so fast that he left an afterimage, instantly arriving at Li Jiangran’s side.

"You... what do you want to do... I... I am..."

Li Jiangran was terrified, not expecting that Qin Tian, a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster, was completely no match for this person. Fear swept over his entire body, causing his speech to stutter.

Su Luo reached out, grasped Li Jiangran by the neck, and hoisted him up.

"No matter who you are or what status you hold, if you dare to covet my woman, death is your only option!" Su Luo’s voice was icy.

He had initially thought that Li Jiangran wanted revenge against him, but on the way here, he casually asked some of Li Jiangran’s subordinates and learned that the revenge was secondary; Li Jiangran’s main target was Xia Yi.

This was what truly provoked Su Luo into wanting to kill.

"I... I..."

Li Jiangran’s face was red, veins bulging, feeling as if Su Luo was about to snap his neck. The intense suffocation made his head dizzy and his eyes bloodshot.

"Don’t kill him, we can discuss this matter properly," Qin Tian finally said, wiping off the blood from the corner of his mouth. Although he was shocked by Su Luo’s strength, he still spoke up bravely.

However, what responded to him was Su Luo, holding Li Jiangran in one swift motion, now also reaching for his neck.

Qin Tian was horrified.

He immediately retraced his steps, the Inner Strength in his hands surging forward, ready to clash with Su Luo.

But Su Luo, like a shadow, stuck close no matter where he retreated. Qin Tian found it impossible to shake him off, and even his continuous strikes were crushed in an instant by the power erupting from within Su Luo.

In that moment, Qin Tian had only one thought.

The power within Su Luo was too domineering, too strong.

Even as a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster, Qin Tian only managed to hold on for a few seconds before Su Luo had him by the throat.

At the moment when Su Luo grabbed his throat, Chaotic Power erupted, directly suppressing the Inner Strength in his body, rendering Qin Tian completely unable to gather his Inner Strength for a short time.

This technique was even more shocking to Qin Tian.

"Friend, please... spare my life!"

Qin Tian hurriedly begged for mercy.

He was from the Qin Family of the Capital, and had a bright future ahead of him. As a proud child of heaven, he definitely did not want to die silently in a small place like Yiling.

"Given how you protect him, it seems that you were in league with him in all those deeds," Su Luo’s eyes, still filled with killing intent, did not lessen in the slightest.

Qin Tian quickly said, "I... I just found out. I was unaware that he had sent men to capture... your woman."

However, how astute was Su Luo? He quickly grasped the key point.

That made his killing intent towards Qin Tian even stronger: "So, he sent men to capture my woman for you, didn’t he?"

Qin Tian’s complexion changed drastically.

Indeed!

Seeing the changes in his expression, Su Luo knew that his guess was likely true.

"Since that is the case, you might as well die with him. On the Road to Hell, at least you’ll have each other’s company," Su Luo snorted coldly. He exerted force with both hands, preparing to snap the necks of both Qin Tian and Li Jiangran.

Both Qin Tian and Li Jiangran were utterly terrified at this moment.

Being a Fifth-Grade Grandmaster with great strength, Qin Tian could at least cry out for mercy and had a bit of power to resist.

But Li Jiangran was completely helpless in Su Luo’s grip, like meat on a chopping board, at the mercy of Su Luo’s butchering, unable even to utter a sound.

At this moment.

It was almost despair.

"I... I have something, in exchange for my life," Qin Tian said, hastily pulling out a smooth bead and handing it to Su Luo in this moment of life and death.

"A Second-Level Demon Beast Inner Core?"

Su Luo immediately recognized the smooth bead.

He also sensed the pure energy within it, confirming it was indeed a Second-Level Demon Beast Inner Core.

"One is not enough to buy your life," Su Luo snorted coldly. His eyes still harbored lethal intent, but he showed some mercy with his hands.

"Two, two of them," Qin Tian hurriedly said.

Immediately, he corrected himself: "No, three... I have a total of three Second-Level Demon Beast Inner Cores. I’ll use all three to buy both mine and Li Jiangran’s lives."

Su Luo was indeed surprised but responded indifferently, "At this point, you still care about his life?"

Qin Tian had his reasons for needing to protect him and asked with difficulty, "Is it possible?"

"Fine," Su Luo nodded.

Immediately after, Su Luo released Qin Tian and Li Jiangran.

Both of them fell to the ground, desperately gasping for air, never having felt how luxurious ordinary air could be.

Su Luo took the three Second-Level Demon Beast Inner Cores and swept over them with his Divine Sense, confirming that those were indeed the only three Qin Tian had.

"Didn’t expect such a gain," Su Luo thought to himself.

"Thank you," Qin Tian, wary of Su Luo changing his mind, hastily expressed his gratitude.

Su Luo glanced at him, then turned to Li Jiangran, snorting coldly, "In consideration of these three Second-Level Demon Beast Inner Cores, I’ll spare your lives, but although you’ve escaped the death penalty, punishment is still unavoidable."

As soon as his words fell, Su Luo struck them once more.

He sent Qin Tian and Li Jiangran flying again.

Qin Tian spit out another mouthful of blood, suffering internal injuries, while Li Jiangran was severely wounded, almost passing out.

Of course, this was not the most important punishment. For Li Jiangran, the strike from Su Luo had carried a thread of Chaotic Power into his body, effectively crippling his virility. From now on, Li Jiangran could no longer think of being a man.
