Live-in Son-in-law

Bang!

The Big Halberd swept across, directly striking Xue Wuya in the face.

With a loud boom, it blasted downwards, creating a large pit in the ground.

Everyone gasped in shock; Xue Wuya's bones were completely shattered, leaving him like a puddle of mud, blood oozing from his mouth and nose.

Qin Yi descended, making the Flood Dragon Spear disappear, and stepped forward to look at Xue Wuya coldly: "Xue Wuya, I said before, I won't kill you. As long as Yiyi does not wake up, you will not die."

"Please, I beg you, kill me, give me a quick death..." Xue Wuya's eyes were full of terror, blood foaming from his mouth as he struggled to speak.

"Death?" Qin Yi's expression was emotionless, "Death is a luxury for you."

"Xiahou Jun, go find me a hemp rope, or a vine will do if there's no rope."

Xiahou Jun didn't understand what Qin Yi intended to do but didn't ask, and went to find it after agreeing without hesitation.

Qin Yi squatted down, looking at Xue Wuya indifferently, "Do you know about the Heavenly Lamp? It's about opening a hole in your head, inserting a wick, using your body as lamp oil to first burn your Essence Blood, then your bone marrow, and finally, your body will be drained and burnt to ash."

"Of course, this process will be very long and excruciatingly painful. Generally, people can't endure it for long, but I can make you burn for ten thousand years, living a life worse than death, suffering every day, unable to seek life or death."

Xue Wuya's eyes were filled with terror, scared to the point of losing courage.

Not only Xue Wuya, even Murong Qianxun and others shivered, hair standing on end.

"I didn't take care of Yiyi well, that's my fault. But you people, all deserve the most brutal punishment. I want the world to know what happens if they hurt my family. I want you beasts to remember this day forever, to tremble at just the thought of it." Qin Yi's voice was as cold as if it came from the Nine Netherworld.

"Qin Yi, there's no rope, only a section of vine found." Xiahou Jun returned with a two-meter-long vine.

"Xue Wuya, repent for the sins you have committed."

Qin Yi grabbed Xue Wuya, moving him to a spot close by and using methods to make him kneel on the ground.

Flicking a finger, a streak of Purple Light shot out, directly creating a bloody hole in the top of Xue Wuya's head, blood gushing out, but was stopped by Qin Yi.

Xue Wuya let out a painful wail.

"The vine," Qin Yi reached out his hand.

Xiahou Jun hurriedly handed over the vine, and Qin Yi took it, inserting it directly into the bloody hole on Xue Wuya's head, skillfully avoiding the meridians, all the way to the soles of his feet.

Xiahou Jun's eyes widened in horror, shivering again.

With a flick of his finger, Qin Yi released a wisp of Purple Flames, igniting the vine protruding tens of centimeters from the top of the head, like lighting an oil lamp.

Murong Qianxun quickly turned her head away; it was too cruel.

Xiahou Jun and others felt a chill through their bodies, it was too ruthless.

Xue Wuya emitted a wailing scream of agony, like a ghost's cry, feeling as if every part of his body, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and every cell were being burned by fierce flames, a pain more torturous than being cut to pieces.

Qin Yi expressionlessly sent streaks of Purple Light into Xue Wuya's body.

Then, he slowly retracted his hand, speaking coldly, "Xue Wuya, congratulations, I've made some modifications to you; this eternal lamp will burn forever, illuminating the path to Hell for those who stand against Qin."

Qin Yi waved his hand, signaling everyone to retreat a hundred meters.

He then performed the Sealing, setting up a Defense Array around Xue Wuya to prevent anyone from saving him.

This Great Array was modified by Qin Yi so that Xue Wuya's screams would be amplified tenfold and spread to every corner of the Nine Demon Mountain.

The nine mountains burned with raging fires, Xue Wuya's screams sounded like evil spirits from the Eighteen Layers of Hell, making it seem like being in Shura Hell, chilling to the bone.

"Let's go."

Qin Yi turned and walked down the mountain step by step, not soaring through the air.

Xiahou Jun and others glanced at the pitifully howling Xue Wuya, shivering again, and quickly caught up with Qin Yi.

"Do you feel I'm too cruel?" Qin Yi asked lightly along the way.

Xiahou Jun and the others glanced at each other, unsure of whom Qin Yi was asking.

Finally, Xiahou Jun spoke, "Indeed."

Qin Yi looked back at him, and Xiahou felt a chill all over.

"Thank you for your honesty, but I don't think I'm cruel. From now on, I will act according to my own way."

"Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself. Because of a momentary mistake, Yiyi lies in that cold ice coffin. I will not allow such a thing to happen again."

"In the future, we will encounter various enemies, some possibly more cunning and ruthless than Xue Wuya. I absolutely won't allow myself to make mistakes again, because next time, it might be one of you lying in an ice coffin."

"Since you follow me, I have the responsibility to protect you. Cruelty, viciousness, cunning, insidiousness, these words attached to me mean nothing. Because living is enough."

Qin Yi sighed slightly, "Whether you understand it or not, this is my way of doing things. Towards enemies, I will use the most hated methods, now and in the future as well."

"I think you're right," Murong Qianxun suddenly said.

Qin Yi turned back, surprised, to look at her.

Murong Qianxun said, "And I mean it. My mentor told me, extremely desperate times require extremely desperate measures. If we fall into the enemy's hands, their methods might be even more brutal. Rather than giving them the chance to be ruthless, we should be even more ruthless ourselves."

"Senior Vireo is indeed a deity-like figure, seeing things so clearly."

Murong Qianxun said, "A general's success is paved with the bones of countless. My mentor said, which successful person doesn't stand on a pile of bones? That's also why my mentor values you, you have the decisiveness and ruthlessness required of a successful person."

"Why do I feel like Senior Vireo isn't really complimenting me?" Qin Yi thought for a moment and said.

"Throughout history, which successful person hasn't been the subject of controversy? They knew people might misunderstand them, overly interpret them, yet they still did it and did so without hesitation. A steadfast belief is one of the necessary conditions for success. This too, you have."

"Thank you, Senior Vireo." Qin Yi slightly raised the corners of his mouth, feeling a bit better. However, he actually didn't care about others' opinions; he aimed to protect the world and bear the weight of lives, but he didn't plan to live according to the will of the world.

"The latter words are my interpretation."

"Hm?" Qin Yi turned back to look at Murong Qianxun, and chuckled lightly, "Then thank you."

"You're welcome."

"I think I misunderstood you before, getting to know you better, you actually quite please the eye."

Murong Qianxun coldly said, "I follow you to save the world. Don't get any ideas, or you'll be disappointed."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Over time, I found you to be thick-skinned and narcissistic. I cherish our team, and nothing you envision will happen."

"That's for the best," Murong Qianxun said indifferently.

Qin Yi: "..."

This woman, truly narcissistic to the extreme.
