When Meng Christopher saw Qi Oliver come out, his eyes turned fierce in an instant, and he took a step forward.
"Qi Oliver, you beast! I brought you back to the Meng family from the Qi family and gave you a life of fine clothes and good food. It's bad enough that you don't know how to repay kindness—you even dared to break our agreement and ruin Sophia's Pure Yin Body! You truly deserve to die a thousand deaths!"
Qi Oliver's indifferent gaze fell on Meng Christopher.
"Meng Christopher, at a time like this, do you still need to put on such a hypocritical act? Why don't we just speak plainly?"
As for Meng Nathan, Qi Oliver didn't even bother to acknowledge him.
Meng Christopher snorted coldly: "You already have every reason to die—what more is there to say!"
Qi Oliver said calmly: "I'm just curious. All of you in the Meng family are so eager to kill me, yet you dare not state the real reason. What exactly are you hiding?"
Meng Christopher let out a cold laugh and had no intention of revealing the true reason.
Meng Sophia gritted her teeth: "Qi Oliver, you said that once my father came back, you would undo the Spirit-Sealing Finger on me! You wouldn't be so dishonorable as to go back on your word again, would you?"
Qi Oliver said indifferently: "Come over here, and I'll undo it for you right now."
Meng Sophia's face twitched. Go over? Did she look that stupid? If she went over now, she would be handing herself over to Qi Oliver as a hostage!
"Hmph, don't try to trick me! Once you're captured, I'll have plenty of ways to make you hand over the method to undo it!" Meng Sophia said with a vicious expression.
Qi Oliver sneered: "Then we'll see if you have the ability to capture me."
Meng Christopher laughed angrily: "What arrogance! Elders, this villain is yours to deal with!"
Chen Levi and the other three felt their hearts sink. Qi Oliver was still a member of the Qi family, after all. Was Meng Christopher planning to make them take the blame for killing the son of the Qi family? But since the patriarch had given the order, they couldn't refuse.
Chen Levi and the others took a deep breath, stepped forward two paces, and said in a low voice: "Master Son-in-law, forgive us for being rude!"
Qi Oliver asked calmly: "Are the four of you sure you want to act as lackeys for a tyrant?"
Chen Levi lowered his eyes indifferently: "We eat the master's salary, so we must share the master's worries! Since we are guest elders of the Meng family, we will naturally act according to the patriarch's orders! So, Master Son-in-law, even if you go to the netherworld, don't blame us!"
"Everyone, Master Son-in-law is quite powerful in combat. Let's attack together!" If they had to take the blame anyway, they might as well share it among the four of them.
"Good!"
As the three agreed, Yuan Power surged around the four of them, exuding an impressive aura!
Meng Christopher narrowed his eyes. He wanted to see what Qi Oliver was relying on to stay in the Meng family instead of fleeing. According to Meng Sophia, Qi Oliver had already broken through to the Master Realm. But the Meng family had several Master Realm cultivators—Chen Levi and the other three each had the strength of Master Realm Third Rank! Any one of the four would be more than enough to deal with someone who had just entered the Master Realm. For Qi Oliver to stay and wait for their return despite knowing this was highly unusual. So Meng Christopher had asked Chen Levi and the others to attack not so much to make them take the blame, but to test Qi Oliver. If someone died in the Meng family, the Meng family would never be able to shake off the responsibility if the Qi family pursued it—so the blame was unavoidable.
"Elders, Qi Oliver can't die yet. Just break his limbs first!" Meng Sophia said grimly.
"Understood!" Chen Levi was happy to do so.
Qi Oliver sneered, took a step forward, and took the initiative to walk toward Chen Levi and the other three, saying as he went: "Since you've made your choice, you must pay the price for it!"
Hum!
A high-grade Mortal Martial cyan longsword flashed out of the storage ring on Qi Oliver's finger and into his hand.
"Why is that Green Front Sword in his hand!" Meng Christopher's face darkened, and he shouted in question.
Meng Sophia's eyes trembled, and her face turned pale: "F-Father, calm down! Earlier, I was forced by Qi Oliver to take him to the Spirit Treasury... But don't worry, Father—once we capture Qi Oliver, we can get everything back from the Spirit Treasury." She hadn't dared to mention that the Spirit Treasury had been stolen, but now that the Green Front Sword was in Qi Oliver's hand, she knew she couldn't hide it any longer and had to confess.
"You fool! We might get the Green Front Sword back, but if he took the pills stored in the Spirit Treasury, can we get those back too?" Meng Christopher flew into a rage. If Meng Sophia hadn't already been chosen as a cauldron by the Young Sect Master of the Spirit Martial Sect and still had great value to the Meng family, he would have loved to slap her hard several times! The treasures in the Spirit Treasury were the foundation he had built up over half his life!
Meng Sophia was so frightened that she didn't dare to say another word and could only lower her blushing head.
"Stop dawdling! Break his limbs right now!" Meng Christopher roared.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Feeling Meng Christopher's towering anger, Chen Levi and the other three stamped their feet heavily at the same time, creating a thunderous sound. The four figures, like four bolts of thunder, charged toward Qi Oliver!
"Heaven-Piercing Fist!"
"Wind-Howling Blade!"
"Mountain-Splitting Spear!"
"Snowstorm Sword Seal!"
Fists rumbled, blades whistled! The spear's glow twisted like a python, and sword qi surged like flying snow! Four top-tier Mortal Martial killing moves, condensed with fierce power, attacked Qi Oliver simultaneously! Any newly promoted Master Realm cultivator would probably be unable to withstand a single joint strike from these four!
Qi Oliver swung his longsword indifferently, and a sharp cyan sword aura burst forth from the tip of the blade. This sword aura was extremely pure and condensed, like a thunderbolt. As the sword swept across, it instantly flashed into a streak of cold light cutting horizontally!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The cyan sword light slashed through the four top-tier Mortal Martial techniques, shattering them in an instant! Not only that, the sword aura quickly penetrated the shattered attacks, and with four "puchi" sounds, it swept past the throats of Chen Levi and the other three!
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
Before the four could react, their heads fell to the ground, their eyes wide open.
Meng Christopher, Liu Mia, Meng Nathan, and Meng Sophia's faces changed drastically!
"He killed four elders with one sword! Impossible—this can't be possible! How could someone who just entered the Master Realm have such terrifying strength!" Meng Nathan exclaimed, stepping back repeatedly until he hid behind Meng Christopher. He had barely broken through to the Master Realm thanks to the opportunity in the Spirit Abyss Secret Realm, but he knew that even with all his skills, he could never defeat any of the four elders!
"Y-You... What cultivation realm have you reached!" Meng Sophia asked in a trembling voice, her face pale. In a daze, she suddenly felt that she might have made a terrible mistake! Even if Qi Oliver's status was still not as high as the Young Sect Master of the Spirit Martial Sect, Qi Oliver had once treated her truly well! And even if she clung to Wei David, she would only be his cauldron in the end! If she had treated Qi Oliver sincerely from the start, with his amazing talent, her future might have been wonderful... But unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in the world.
Meng Christopher suppressed his shock, narrowed his eyes, and said: "Based on the combat power you've shown, you must be at least Master Realm Fifth Rank! So you couldn't have just entered the Master Realm! It seems you've been hiding your true cultivation all along!"
Qi Oliver sneered: "You're so used to being hypocritical that you've become fond of doubting others. Meng Christopher, now all your cannon fodder are dead—it's your turn to come and meet your death."
Meng Christopher laughed angrily: "I never realized you were so arrogant! Do you really think that killing Chen Levi and the others gives you the right to be so cocky in front of me?"
"Even if you're at Master Realm Fifth Rank, killing you will still be as easy as turning my hand!"
Boom!
Yuan Power erupted from Meng Christopher's body, forming a large burst of powerful radiance that enveloped him, and his aura was indeed extremely fierce! This trip to the Spirit Abyss Secret Realm had allowed his cultivation to advance from Master Realm Sixth Rank to the peak of Master Realm Ninth Rank—only one step away from the Grand Master Realm!
"Master Realm Ninth Rank... It seems the Spirit Abyss Secret Realm really brought you a lot of benefits," Qi Oliver said calmly.
Meng Christopher raised his eyebrows, somewhat suspicious. How could Qi Oliver remain so calm after seeing his cultivation? This was far too abnormal!
