Chapter 1987 - 1960: Qiu Tianrui’s Crisis
The Rolls-Royce Phantom headed straight for the Taoyuan Restaurant. Qiu Tianrui sat inside the car, his brows furrowed, pondering bitterly over who could be orchestrating this scheme from the shadows.
"Bang!"
At that moment, as the Rolls-Royce Phantom turned a corner, suddenly, a white Buick Junwei sedan charged out from a nearby street and crashed directly into the front of the Rolls-Royce, creating a deafening thud.
The violent impact quickly jolted Qiu Tianrui from his thoughts.
"What’s going on?"
"Young Master, someone hit our car. I’ll go check it out," the driver turned around and explained to Qiu Tianrui.
"Quickly handle it," Qiu Tianrui said deeply, his brows furrowed.
"Yes!"
The driver nodded, opened the door, and went out, heading towards the Buick Junwei sedan.
At the same time, the door of the Buick Junwei opened, and three muscular men in vests got out from the car, surrounding Qiu Tianrui’s driver and starting to curse aggressively. Their hands constantly slapped the hood of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, angrily questioning the driver.
The driver’s tone also became sharp in response to the other party’s aggressive manner, with an increasing tension of igniting a fight.
Qiu Tianrui watched the situation outside, his brows slightly furrowed, immediately opened the car door, and stepped out. He was scheduled to meet Lu Tianxing at the Taoyuan Restaurant. If he was delayed due to this incident, it would be inexcusable.
Just as he stepped out of the car, before he had the chance to close the door, Qiu Tianrui suddenly felt a chill. A warning sign surged in his mind, causing him to shiver and his pupils to constrict into the most dangerous pinhole size, with an unprecedented sense of crisis washing over him, making his hairs stand on end.
At that moment, Qiu Tianrui saw a middle-aged man in a black Zhongshan suit walking over, his eyes filled with piercing coldness, fixed firmly on him.
"Who are you!" Qiu Tianrui said cautiously, while the True Qi inside began to churn, ready to unleash the strongest attack at any moment.
"The one who will take your life."
With those words, the middle-aged man’s figure flickered, suddenly moving like a phantom, directly pouncing towards Qiu Tianrui. Five fingers opened slightly, and a longsword appeared in his hand, carrying a chilling killing intent, striking directly at Qiu Tianrui.
At the instant the middle-aged man made his move, Qiu Tianrui felt his entire body chilled, as though there was a blade against his neck, poised to take his life at any moment.
Meanwhile, the three strong men also acted immediately, entangling Qiu Tianrui’s driver, preventing him from seeking help or making a call for assistance.
"Die!"
The middle-aged man shouted fiercely, suddenly accelerating, and the longsword in his hand thrust out like a shooting star, aiming at Qiu Tianrui’s throat.
Qiu Tianrui did not anticipate the speed of the middle-aged man’s attack. His body quickly dodged to the side, but the cold gleam still brushed past his neck, leaving a blood mark, narrowly missing a fatal blow.
Qiu Tianrui ignored the pain on his neck, his figure flickering as he retreated forcefully.
From that brief encounter, Qiu Tianrui realized the middle-aged man’s strength far exceeded his own. If he were to confront the man now, he would certainly die, so he had to escape from here.
Despite intending to withdraw, Qiu Tianrui’s face showed no sign of retreating, instead pausing after retreating a distance, looking solemnly at the middle-aged man, and said in a deep voice, "I bear no grudge against you. I wonder why you are so ruthless upon meeting me. If I’ve ever offended you in any way, I apologize here."
"Apologize?"
With eyes filled with chilling intent, the middle-aged man replied upon hearing Qiu Tianrui’s words, "The apology I seek is simple: I hope Young Master Qiu will apologize with your life."
Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man suddenly acted, his longsword trembled, instantly releasing a multitude of sharp breaths, transforming into a series of sword shadows, slicing through the air, tearing the sky, and enveloping Qiu Tianrui like a sword net.
The sword net moved extremely fast, appearing beside Qiu Tianrui in the blink of an eye, falling like a huge net, sealing off all his escape routes. Once the sword net closed, Qiu Tianrui would likely be torn to pieces in an instant.
In this moment, Qiu Tianrui’s life hung by a thread.
The sword net was incredibly fierce, falling rapidly. Even if Qiu Tianrui wanted to dodge, it was impossible. In an instant, Qiu Tianrui felt his hairs stand on end, with an uncontrollable fear rising within his heart.
Sweat quickly covered Qiu Tianrui’s forehead, and his heart began racing uncontrollably.
At this moment, it seemed as if the Grim Reaper were beckoning to Qiu Tianrui, as if he could see the Gate of Hell slowly opening, with countless arms extending from it, wanting to pull him into the Abyss Hell.
"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"
The sword light forming the sword net constantly shuttled through the air, slicing through the air, making a spine-chilling sound.
As the sword net descended, Qiu Tianrui took a deep breath, scanned the surroundings, gritted his teeth, and charged towards the rear.
At the moment he dashed out, surging True Qi erupted from Qiu Tianrui’s body, and waves of purple qi burst from him, revealing the Qiu Family’s true ultimate art: Purple Qi Comes from the East.
With the burst of purple qi, Qiu Tianrui’s aura became formidable as he pointed a finger, causing the overwhelming purple qi to transform into sword light in an instant.
In a single move, sword energy surged, and Purple Mist Sword Energy erupted instantly, fiercely crashing into the weakest point of the sword net.
"Purple Qi Protection."
As Purple Mist Sword Energy roared, Qiu Tianrui was enveloped in purple qi, swiftly following the sword energy and charging forward.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Purple Mist Sword Energy collided fiercely with the sword net, instantly making clang sounds like metal clashing, fragments of sword energy shattering and scattering, leaving deep bone-revealing marks on the ground.
"Shatter for me!"
At that instant, Qiu Tianrui’s voice followed, raising his hands with booming Qi-explosion sounds, like gunpowder detonating, forcefully hitting the sword net.
