Chapter 1430: Horrifying Death Methods

Grandma Hua’s face was full of murderous intent, staring intently at Jian Qingcang, "You demon, for a hundred years we’ve been searching for you, thinking you were dead, but you were hiding within our Elf Clan."

Jian Qingcang’s face was a bloody mess, like a fierce ghost, and he laughed sharply, "You fools, I never escaped back then. I’ve been in the Elf Clan for so many years, and not one of you discovered. Hahaha..."

The laughter abruptly stopped, Jian Qingcang suddenly looked at Qin Yi, his eyes venomous and full of killing intent, "Qin Yi, it’s all you, it’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you, my plan would’ve succeeded. If not for you, these fools would never have exposed my identity."

Qin Yi shrugged nonchalantly, "I told you before, if you want to blame someone, blame your own bad luck."

The Elf Clan Leader stepped forward, his pale face full of killing intent, "Jian Qingcang, I once swore to find you and avenge those in the Elf Clan who died by your hands. Heaven has eyes, and finally I have found you."

Jian Qingcang sneered, "If it wasn’t for Qin Yi exposing my true face, you fools would never know who I was even in death. If it weren’t for him ruining my plan, in a few days, you wouldn’t even know how you died."

"Jian Qingcang, you’re facing death and still dare to boast shamelessly," Grandma Hua roared angrily.

Qin Yi walked over to Hua Chen and asked, "What exactly did this Jian Qingcang do to the Elf Clan?"

Hua Chen sighed deeply, his face full of pain, and said, "Back then, our people found an injured person in the forest outside, and that person was Jian Qingcang. The Great Elder, in a moment of compassion, saved him."

"But, we didn’t expect this Jian Qingcang to repay kindness with enmity. After recovering, he feigned gratitude to our Elf Clan, but was already consumed by greed in secret. Not long after he left, he returned under the guise of repaying a favor and tricked us into opening the secret door to the Elf Clan. We didn’t expect he brought people back, and when the secret door opened, those people rushed in, attempting to seize the Elf Holy Spring and capture our Elf Clan members for sale."

"The people he brought were all powerful. We narrowly won that battle, but suffered heavy casualties. When the battle ended, we found Jian Qingcang’s body missing during the cleanup, and have searched for him everywhere over the years, not expecting he disguised as the Great Elder, hiding right under our noses."

"I remember the Great Elder, out of guilt, swore to kill Jian Qingcang. It was too chaotic then, and the Great Elder wasn’t his match, and was killed by him. This just gave Jian Qingcang the opportunity to impersonate the Great Elder. It’s been so many years, and we didn’t notice a thing."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yi sighed faintly. It turned out to be another tale of the farmer and the snake, the Dongguo gentleman and the wolf’s story.

"Jian Qingcang, so it was you, you’ve been deceiving us all along."

Qin Yi looked in the direction of the voice to see the Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and Eighth Elder glaring at Jian Qingcang with eyes red with anger.

Jian Qingcang smirked, "You fools, willing to be used by me, you only have yourselves to blame for being stupid."

The Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and Eighth Elder, trembling with anger, fists clenched. They realized they had been used by Jian Qingcang all along. Sacrifices to the Elf Divine Tree were not their direct actions, but they knew of it and never stopped it, indirectly causing the deaths of their clansmen and innocent humans.

"Yes, we are fools, to the very core. We’ve wronged the Elf Clan, wronged the ancestors of the Elf Clan. At this point, there’s no blaming anyone else, mistakes made must be punished. Jian Qingcang, follow me to Hell."

The Second Elder cried out in rage, charging madly towards Jian Qingcang.

Jian Qingcang’s eyes, dark and sinister, snarled as he raised a palm, the wind from his palm sweeping forth.

The Second Elder howled, ignoring everything, his aura surged to the peak, and he rushed into the palm wind.

"Boom!"

The storm swept through, Jian Qingcang’s palm wind was forcibly smashed through, the Second Elder’s upper garment shredded into pieces, bones broken, tendons snapped, coughing up blood. But he still howled madly and charged towards Jian Qingcang again.

However, his steps suddenly faltered, then he fell to the ground, wailing in agony.

Everyone present wore expressions of horror.

Countless branches broke through the Second Elder’s flesh, piercing out from his body.

The Second Elder howled in pain, his screams soon faded, and the branches emerging from his body turned blood red, like scarlet snakes, constantly twisting.

Everyone watching was covered in goosebumps, frightened to the core.

This kind of death is truly horrifying.

"This, what is this thing, it’s terrifying," Yun Mengyao’s face turned pale, her stomach churning with nausea.

No one answered, because no one knew what it was.

Qin Yi couldn’t figure out what this thing was either, something that could grow out from a person’s body. Was it something Jian Qingcang planted in the Second Elder’s body long ago, or was it part of his cultivation technique?

"Heh heh..." Jian Qingcang laughed sinisterly, "Fools, trying to kill me, you’re not worthy."

"You idiotic things, even if I’m the only one left, today you’re all doomed. No one can save you. You can’t blame me, blame Qin Yi. If it weren’t for his appearance, there’s no way I would’ve initiated the plan early."

"Jian Qingcang, you beast, today I will kill you to avenge those in my Elf Clan who died," Grandma Hua roared furiously and prepared to strike.

"Grandma Hua." Qin Yi’s figure flashed in front of her, saying, "Let me handle it, this old entity’s methods are too insidious, the Second Elder’s death was too bizarre, the situation is unclear, don’t act rashly. Let me try first."

"Young Master Qin has already done too much for our Elf Clan, how can I let you take risks again."

"Grandma Hua, Qin has an unmatched physique, if something can drill out from flesh, I want to see if this ghost thing can pierce mine."

Qin Yi warmed up his body, shaking his wrists, and walked step by step toward Jian Qingcang.

"Young Master Qin, be careful."

"Qin Yi, be careful, don’t be reckless," Yun Mengyao shouted.

Qin Yi nodded slightly, looking at Jian Qingcang, "I’m curious, how did you turn the Second Elder into this state?"

Jian Qingcang’s gaze was venomous as he stared at Qin Yi. If he had to say who he hated the most, it would naturally be Qin Yi. He sneered, "You want to know? When you experience it firsthand, you will naturally understand."

Qin Yi chuckled coldly, "I really do want to feel it firsthand"

As he finished speaking, the ground beneath him exploded, and like a stream of light, he rushed toward Jian Qingcang.

Jian Qingcang roared, "Qin Yi, I will make you beg for life and death without relief."
