Chapter 861 - 811: Life and Death Settled in One Move!

"Is it necessary?"

A hand emerged from the pocket.

Looking at Hua Xiaotian’s eyes filled with tears and pleas.

Qin Fan inexplicably felt a softness in his heart, a feeling he couldn’t believe.

Yes, seeing a man who stands tall amidst the world, worshiped by countless people, begging like a child through misty tears caused him to feel a rare sense of reluctance in his heart.

"Yes! Master Qin, without an answer, I’m afraid I will never have peace!" Hua Xiaotian choked out, sniffing to hide the mist in his eyes.

He didn’t respond further.

Qin Fan nodded his head, pressing his lips together.

He stretched his hand forward.

His attitude was clear!

"Thank you!"

With these two words, Hua Xiaotian slowly turned around.

First, he gazed at the old drunkard.

Then he began to walk toward him.

"Old Master, are you really from the Heavenly Dao Institute?"

A meter in front of the old drunkard.

Hua Xiaotian stopped, trembling in voice.

No immediate answer.

The old drunkard glanced towards Qin Fan, who was smiling blandly.

Then he took a heavy breath.

As his body instantly relaxed, a smile appeared on his face.

With no mixed emotions, like a heartfelt, natural smile of a seventy-year-old.

Then he said, "Yes, and no!"

This vague and ambiguous answer was obviously not what Hua Xiaotian wanted.

But he chose not to delve deeper into it.

Thus he said, "Old Master, why? Can you tell me why? You were once a member of the Guardian Institute, you contributed immensely to the stability of Huaxia, you risked your life to uphold your passionate Loyal Soul! You once said that your home is Huaxia! You told me that you wouldn’t regret joining Huaxia in this life, and you’d still be part of the Hua Family in the afterlife! But now you’ve become a puppet whose hands are stained with the innocent blood of compatriots, do you not understand what Martial Arts World means to Huaxia and how crucial it is? Old Master, I know you understand! You must have a plight, tell me, why? Why would you come to this point, please?"

Along with the old drunkard’s voice of yes and no, Hua Xiaotian’s last sliver of hope shattered completely.

But he was still unwilling to accept this truth, he wanted to hear the so-called plight from the old drunkard’s mouth to comfort himself!

Even if the old drunkard deceived him, he would not mind!

He did not believe the old drunkard who contributed greatly would betray the nation’s peace!

"You don’t need to know those things! Often knowing too much means more danger! I know this is a road of no return, a road destined to leave a notorious legacy! I don’t wish to explain much, Xiaotian, we watched you grow little by little! I believe one day you’ll become the true Guardian, and I believe you can restore the Guardian Institute to its former glory! So, live well! Live with the truest heart! The hardest hurdle in life is emotional, Master can’t overcome it, so I’m prepared to bear the infamous name, but you are different, Master only hopes you can forever remember your original intent, forever maintain a logical and firm stance!"

Grinding his teeth, the old drunkard faced Hua Xiaotian’s eyes with a slow, gentle smile.

Finished speaking, without waiting for Hua Xiaotian’s response.

He said again, "I’ve thought about the day we’d meet this way, just never expected it to come so quickly! Lastly, Xiao Tian, no matter what, never resent your master! Without him, we old ones might have died in the Late Qing’s hunger and cold, and the same goes for you, if he hadn’t picked you up from the cradle in the barren outskirts when fierce beasts roamed, what fate would you have? So, remember, don’t hate! Because we don’t have that right!"

With this, the old drunkard reached his hand out, placing it on Hua Xiaotian’s head, gently rubbing his hair, seemingly reminiscing forty years ago.

Back then, Hua Xiaotian was a snotty little kid running around without pants.

Whenever he rubbed the little kid’s head, young Xiaotian would always ask why Master liked rubbing his hair so much.

The old drunkard remembers, every answer he gave was direct and blunt, because Master liked it!

Time flies, and years pass.

Time urges us to grow old.

He’s no longer that Master.

And Hua Xiaotian is no longer that little kid.

This reunion after many years of separation.

Seemed to be a reminiscence of the past, a commemoration of the past, more like his final farewell to this world.

In a daze.

As the old drunkard gently rubbed, Hua Xiaotian suddenly froze.

If the old drunkard could reminisce, couldn’t he also be touched by the scene?

At this moment, recalling those past events, not only the old drunkard but also him!

Yet beyond this daze, he didn’t think much.

By the time he reacted, it was already too late.

As the old drunkard withdrew his hand.

In a flash.

The old drunkard was already wildly charging at Qin Fan.

The overwhelming power of the God Realm fully manifested.

"Master!"

A heart-wrenching scream erupted from Hua Xiaotian’s mouth.

Followed by his whole body collapsing.

Ignoring Hua Xiaotian’s desperate scream.

The old drunkard, wielding his ultimate Qi Force, swung his arms like Tai Chi.

The next moment.

Everything within a five-mile radius was swept up.

Quickly condensed into a chaotic mass.

Though it seemed ordinary, the moment granted an intense Life Force, destructive Life Force!

"One move determines life and death, go!"

Face flushed, neck thick.

With a voice that roared to the nine heavens.

Without any reservations, this near throat-tearing shout of the old drunkard shook the air with both hands.

In the next second.

Everything swept up condensations poured towards Qin Fan!

The thick Qi Force of the God Realm empowered it, each entity seemed like a bomb about to explode.

It was akin to thousands of bombs exploding at once upon Qin Fan.

This presence, even Ru Yi himself wouldn’t dare withstand.

Simultaneously, the old drunkard’s tense body also shot towards Qin Fan like a sharp sword, with the terrifying God Realm might!

"Since you seek death, let me, the Heavenly Venerate, give you a swift end!"

Disregarding the sky of debris, Qin Fan indifferently muttered.

The Prison Suppressing Body activated on its own as he finished speaking.

Dazzling Green Light burst out in this instant.

Bang, bang, bang-!

Bang, bang, bang-!

With the burst of Green Light.

The pouring debris met Green Light and immediately rebounded violently with a bursting sound!

Heavens seemed to have suddenly showered all with a rain of debris!

Following the might of the Prison Suppressing Body.

Facing the charging old drunkard.

Qin Fan’s face darkened as he darted forward, brows furrowed.

With a shout from his mouth.

"The sixty-fifth style of Earth Evil, Dragon Ascending Nine Transformations!"
