Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Living Towards Death

Xiao Mengyi let out a roar and charged toward Qin Nian, but before she could reach her, she was grabbed by the arms by two bodyguards, one on each side.

"Let me go, let me go!"

Xiao Mengyi struggled furiously, and as she did, she yelled at Xiao Qing in anger, "Nian Nian is innocent, why are you allowing someone to hit her?"

"Shut your mouth!"

Xiao Qing delivered another slap across Xiao Mengyi’s face with no mercy, and shouted angrily, "Do you realize the trouble you’ve brought upon our family with your actions?"

"Now, the prominent families of the entire province know that you found some wild man in Jiangcheng City, you’ve lost all face for the Xiao Family."

Xiao Mengyi, holding back tears, stared at Xiao Qing and said, "Finding my own man brings shame to the Xiao Family? And forcing me to marry someone I don’t like doesn’t?"

Xiao Qing, trembling with anger, pointed at Xiao Mengyi’s nose and shouted, "At the start of the engagement banquet, you will stay at home and not go anywhere!"

Having said that, she waved her hand and commanded, "Take the young miss to the car!"

The two bodyguards were pushing Xiao Mengyi toward the car, and seeing Qin Nian lying in a pool of blood, Xiao Mengyi became frantic, struggling fiercely as she pleaded, "Mom, I’ll go back with you, but please, send Nian Nian to the hospital, okay?"

If anything happened to Qin Nian, Qin Chuan would surely lose his mind.

Although she hadn’t spent much time with Qin Nian, she genuinely liked this girl.

"Just a lowly person, if she dies, she dies. Why should I send her to the hospital?"

Xiao Qing said with an indifferent face, showing no intention of sending Qin Nian to the hospital despite Xiao Mengyi’s pleas.

As she was about to be dragged into the car, Xiao Mengyi said resolutely, "You want me to marry into the Chen Family, just to curry favor through the marriage, right?"

Xiao Qing frowned, giving Xiao Mengyi a cold look.

Xiao Mengyi continued, "If something happens to Nian Nian, I will not live alone. Without me, I’d like to see how the Xiao family proceeds with the marriage alliance with the Chen Family."

"You reckless fool!"

Xiao Qing slapped Xiao Mengyi across the face again, causing fresh blood to flow from the corner of Mengyi’s lips.

"For the sake of a despicable lowlife, you degrade yourself so much. How can you be so cheap?"

Xiao Qing yelled furiously.

Xiao Mengyi sneered, "In my eyes, this ’lowly person’ you speak of is far dearer than you, my blood relatives."

Her mouth was full of blood as she looked defiantly at Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing, trembling with rage, took a while to calm down before instructing the bodyguard beside her, "Take that woman to the hospital."

As she spoke, Xiao Qing gave the bodyguard a meaningful look. The bodyguard immediately understood her intent and quickly nodded, "Yes!"

Xiao Qing spoke coldly, "Now, will you come with me?"

Seeing Qin Nian being taken away by the Xiao Family’s bodyguards, Xiao Mengyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then, she took one last deep look at Tianfu Number One before voluntarily getting into the car.

She knew that regardless of her resistance, Xiao Qing had personally come to take her back to the Xiao Family.

What she didn’t know was that the bodyguard who had just taken Qin Nian away saw Xiao Qing’s car leaving, dropped Qin Nian to the ground, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "If anyone is to blame, blame yourself for talking too much. She wants you dead, and you must die!"

Having said that, the bodyguard viciously stomped his foot toward Qin Nian’s heart.

However, just as he lifted his foot, an invisible force suddenly appeared, holding his foot in mid-air.

At that moment, the bodyguard felt a bone-chilling cold envelop him, and the deep-seated fear made him shiver uncontrollably.

He tried to scream, but found himself unable to make a sound, his body as though seized by an unseeable force.

Suddenly, a mysterious powerhouse wearing a ghost-faced mask appeared.

The bodyguard watched in terror as the ghost-faced strongman, who had just been meters away, appeared instantly in front of him, placing a hand over his heart.

"Thump!"

With a loud bang, the bodyguard’s heart was instantly shattered by a tremendous force; horror filled his face and, to his death, he never knew who his assailant was.

Meanwhile, at the Song Family residence.

Song Qingshan’s face turned pale, his body slightly trembling, with traces of blood at the corners of his mouth.

Standing opposite, Tang Zhonghan looked at Song Qingshan with a complex expression and said, "If I were at the same level as you, I would surely not be your match."

Through gritted teeth, Song Qingshan responded, "If it’s a fight you want, we shall fight, why all these pointless words? Even if I, Song Qingshan, am to die, I will fight to the bitter end!"

In the recent fight, Song Qingshan had already exerted his full strength but was still far from being Tang Zhonghan’s opponent.

He was now hanging on by a thread, barely exchanging blows with Tang Zhonghan and could be killed at any moment.

Tang Zhonghan didn’t speak further, let out a light sigh, and suddenly, a stronger aura than before erupted from within him.

Song Qingshan also felt that Tang Zhonghan had grown even stronger, clenching his teeth tightly and staring intently at his opponent.

"Grandfather!"

Song Jie clenched his fists, his face full of hatred as he glared at Tang Zhonghan.

Xia Wanrong’s face was filled with urgency as she prayed ceaselessly in her heart, hoping Qin Chuan would arrive soon.

The members of the Song Family all wore looks of despair; they had finally seen Song Qingshan regain his strength, and with a little more time, the Song Family could have a chance to ascend to the ranks of the top clans in the provincial city.

But at this critical moment, an unwelcome visitor like Tang Zhonghan had arrived.

"Song Qingshan, I respect you as a true man. This time, I will use my strongest move against you as my final respect," Tang Zhonghan slowly stated as he raised his right palm, from which an overwhelming power burst forth.

Even from ten meters away, Song Qingshan could feel the terrifying power contained in that palm.

He had no doubt that once this palm strike landed, his life would come to an end.

Thinking that the Song Family had not yet reached the top tier of the provincial city, that Song Yan had not yet married, and that Song Jie had not yet taken a wife, Song Qingshan’s heart was filled with unwillingness.

But the opponent was too strong; the fact that he had lasted until now was already a miracle. He simply couldn’t block the final strike.

But what if he couldn’t block it?

As a practitioner of the Martial Path, one must push forward undeterred, fighting to the death even in the face of insurmountable odds!

Suddenly, an aura far surpassing the previous ones burst forth from Song Qingshan’s body.

"Hm?"

Tang Zhonghan was slightly surprised and murmured softly, "Knowing he cannot match me, yet Song Qingshan still chooses to fight to the death. On the brink of death, he has gained some insight."

"With such a temperament, given enough time, he might have stepped into the realm above Energizing Skill."

"What a pity!"

He sighed quietly to himself, a sharp glint in his eye, and with a swift motion, he charged toward Song Qingshan.

"Song Qingshan, may your journey be a good one!"

With a loud shout from Tang Zhonghan, he brought down a palm with the force of a mountain crashing down upon Song Qingshan.

Song Qingshan’s eyes bore no trace of fear but were filled with intense fighting spirit, as he threw a punch towards his opponent.

The faces of the Song Family were filled with despair, and they all shouted, "Family Head!"

Song Jie immediately knelt, tears streaming down his face as he looked at Song Qingshan and said, "Grandfather, I will train hard, and even if it takes my entire life, I will avenge your death and wash away our humiliation!"

"Dad!"

Xia Wanrong stumbled and fell to the ground in despair.
