Only I am Venerable

Qin Li closed in on the purple-robed elder. In a low voice only the two of them could hear, he spoke in a nonchalant, mocking tone, "The Qin Family’s established strategy is to only kill the elite. So, old man, you’ve been used! But since you wanted to destroy the Qin Family, you had to die!"

Blood gushed from the purple-robed elder’s throat. His eyes bulged as he tried to say something, but he couldn’t utter a word, his throat completely filled with blood. With a THUD, he fell to the ground, his body twitched a few times, and he died.

BOOM!

Everyone from the Tu Family went wild, and the scene instantly descended into chaos. The twenty-some people all rushed forward. Several of them threw themselves onto the purple-robed elder’s body, wailing and cursing. Some wanted to charge Qin Li and fight him to the death, but were desperately held back by those next to them.

’Are you kidding? Qin Li broke their Patriarch’s Treasure Sword with his bare hands and killed him without even using a single technique. If they charged forward now, wouldn’t they just be seeking death?’

At that moment, a faint, ancient voice echoed through the air, "The Qin Family, and Qin Li... truly tyrannical. Killing someone on the spot over a mere disagreement. It seems if this continues, all of Profound Island won’t be big enough to hold your Qin Family."

"Bullshit! You coward hiding in the shadows! Either get the hell out here or stay hidden! No one will think you’re mute if you just shut up!"

Qin Li’s curse immediately made the speaker fume with rage. At the same time, many people got a taste of Qin Li’s assertiveness. ’It seems this young man is truly fearless!’

The air distorted, and a gray figure slowly materialized from thin air.

The entire area fell deathly silent!

Even the members of the Tu Family, in the midst of their chaotic grief, stopped crying. Their mouths hung open as they stared at the scene in disbelief.

The surrounding onlookers were utterly astonished. Who else but a Martial Artist of the Shattered Void realm could make such an entrance?

"Heavens, which family is he from? I’m actually seeing a living Shattered Void realm Martial Artist! Am I dreaming?"

"He must be from one of the three great families. I knew they had a trump card, but I never expected it to be this powerful!"

"That’s right. The Qin Family seems to have a Shattered Void realm Martial Artist too, but now, they’re finished!"

"Exactly! The Qin Family only has one Shattered Void realm Martial Artist; the rest are nothing! As long as they can tie up the Qin Family’s strongest, today... will be the day the Qin Family is annihilated!"

"Hahaha, let’s see how that animal Qin Li can act so arrogant now!" someone laughed grimly. "The Qin Family wiped out my entire Celestial Star Sect. Today is the day of retribution!"

"Yes, the Qin Family will be destroyed today!"

The gray-robed elder, his gaunt face filled with mockery as he stared at Qin Li, said, "Brat, not only are you incredibly arrogant, but that mouth of yours is quite vicious. Still, I’d love to see what color your heart is, how you can stand there looking so innocent after slaughtering so many families."

"Heh, what are you talking about? I don’t understand. All I know is that before this, many of my Qin Family died tragically at the hands of you people. My Qin Family has never offended any family or Sect, yet our businesses suffered a devastating blow a while ago, and our people were killed by you for no reason. So, whatever you’re rambling about, you old bastard, I don’t understand a damn word."

"Insolence!" the gray-robed elder roared in anger. "So many families have been annihilated, and you dare say it wasn’t your Qin Family’s doing? All those innocent people, how did they ever provoke your Qin Family? Don’t you want to explain yourself before the heroes of Profound Island?"

"Explain my ass!" Qin Li looked at the gray-robed elder as if he were looking at an idiot. "Are you incapable of understanding human speech? Or am I talking to an animal? An explanation? Who gave an explanation for the three hundred seventy-one disciples of my Qin Family who were killed? You want an explanation? Fine! You old bastard, aren’t you a great master of the Shattered Void realm? Come and try me! Let’s see if you’re really invincible!"

In the crowd, Lin Heng watched Qin Li with a complicated expression. While his heart was filled with apology, he couldn’t help but smile wryly at Qin Li’s actions, cursing his own family’s ancestor.

He hadn’t expected his warning to have no effect on Qin Li. ’Perhaps,’ he thought, ’this was why the Lin Family’s upper echelon had allowed him to enter the Qin Mansion to persuade Qin Li in the first place. They weren’t afraid of him revealing the fact that the Lin Family had a Shattered Void ancestor at all.’

"Arrogant brat! It seems you won’t know the immensity of heaven and earth until I teach you a harsh lesson!" the gray-robed elder said, his body flowing toward Qin Li like moving clouds and running water. But his speed was simply unbelievable!

Just then, a black shadow suddenly appeared beside Qin Li and shot toward the gray-robed elder at an even faster speed!

KABOOM!

A deafening explosion instantly rang out.

An overwhelming aura, like a tidal wave, spread out in all directions, scattering the people nearby. The members of the Tu Family, in particular, were all sent flying by the shockwave!

A deep fissure immediately appeared in the massive bluestone plaza beneath everyone’s feet. Then, countless cracks spiderwebbed out in all directions. Many people lost their footing and hastily retreated, their faces aghast.

Amidst the massive sound, the gray-robed elder was heard letting out a muffled grunt as his body was flung backward through the air. The black figure, however, stood its ground, watching the elder with a look of cold scorn, not having moved an inch!

ROAR!

The still-shaken crowd couldn’t help but let out an irrepressible cry of astonishment. They were truly stunned by the scene before them. Although many knew beforehand that the Qin Family had a female Shattered Void realm master of formidable strength, they had never imagined that "formidable" meant *this* powerful!

Just moments ago, many people had been planning to take this opportunity to swarm the Qin Family, raze it to the ground, and plunder as many treasures as they could.

But now, before the situation was completely clear, not a single person dared to entertain such a thought!

Because in that single instant, they had all discovered a startling fact. The cracks in the bluestone plaza radiated out in a fan shape from where the black-clad woman stood, spreading toward them!

In other words, the ancient gate of the Qin Mansion behind the black-clad woman, as well as the two majestic, equally ancient stone lions, were completely undamaged!

This... What kind of power did one need to possess to achieve such a feat?

For a clash between two Martial Artists of the Shattered Void realm to result in such a one-sided scene was difficult to accept.

The gray-robed elder wasn’t injured, but he was utterly humiliated. He had made a grand, intimidating entrance in front of all the heroes of Profound Island, only to be sent flying by a single move. And the one who had sent him flying... was a seemingly delicate young woman. This was simply impossible for him to accept.

Gritting his teeth, the gray-robed elder charged the black-clad woman again. Without a word, he fully unleashed his aura. The air around his figure distorted completely, creating an incredibly bizarre sight!

BANG BANG BANG!

A series of massive bangs forced all the onlookers to retreat even further away.

An unrestrained battle between Shattered Void realm Martial Artists was nothing short of a catastrophe. The not-so-large plaza in front of the Qin Family’s gate was now riddled with craters, resembling an apocalyptic landscape.

Yet the Qin Family gate, protected behind the black-clad woman, still stood tall and unshaken, completely unaffected!

Seeing the black-clad woman’s effortless ease, the gray-robed elder grew more and more alarmed as he fought. Profound Island was vast and held countless secrets, but among human Martial Artists, how many could possibly reach this realm, their Primordial Power as endless and inexhaustible as the vast Great Sea?

Suddenly, a flash of insight struck the gray-robed elder, and he shouted, "You’re not human!"

"You’re the one who’s not human! You old coot, you’re so shameless for your age! I can’t believe someone as old as you would even hit on a young woman!" She She’s words made the gray-robed elder feel like he was about to vomit blood.

Even the crowd, who had retreated far away, couldn’t help but blush with second-hand embarrassment for the elder. No matter what, a man of his age and power, even if he hadn’t reached a state of complete detachment from worldly desires, shouldn’t be publicly hitting on a young girl, right? Even if the girl was absurdly strong, she was still a young beauty, wasn’t she?

"I’m saying, you are literally not a human being!" The gray-robed elder had been in secluded cultivation for many years. While he hadn’t lost the ability to speak, his communication skills were no match for someone who had spent their years navigating the Martial World. When he said this, even the members of the Lin Family couldn’t help but lower their heads, not knowing what to say.

"Heavens, is this old senior really here to help us?" a woman in the crowd asked the person beside her with a dark expression.

"I don’t know, I don’t know him!" the person next to her quickly clarified.

"This is too much! If you’re going to fight, then fight! He’s old enough to be her ancestor, yet he says something like that to a woman!"

"Ahem, he’s on our side. You don’t want the woman from the Qin Family to win, do you?"

"Win my ass! I want everyone from the Qin Family dead, but look at the situation now... I think we should just leave. The Qin Family probably hasn’t gotten around to taking revenge on our family yet. Let’s hurry back and pretend this never happened."

"Yeah, yeah, my family hasn’t been targeted for revenge by the Qin Family either. The Qin Family is insane, they’ll kill anyone. Only now do we realize they actually have the power to back up their actions!"

Amidst the murmurs of discussion, many in the crowd began to slowly retreat.

She She sent a vicious palm strike toward the gray-robed elder and said coldly, "You old thing, show some respect! Don’t try to pull rank with your age! Who isn’t human? You’d better make yourself clear, or this young lady won’t be done with you today!"

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

She She seemed to go berserk, blasting wave after wave of powerful energy at the gray-robed elder.
