Chapter 56 The Snowstorm Was Dark
The tea room in the inner courtyard was filled with the gentle fragrance of sandalwood, exuding a rustic and tranquil atmosphere. Outside the window, the sky was overcast and heavy, making it hard to breathe.
Qin Fangqiong slumped in her armchair, slowly peeling a golden orange. As the peel came off, a refreshing fruity aroma filled the air.
Beside him, Qin Yu was somewhat restless, wiping the sword in his hand again and again.
"Father, in a while... I plan to break through the bottleneck of the Body Refining Realm."
Qin Fangqiong tossed a segment of orange into her mouth, chewed it with relish, and mumbled an indistinct reply: "Hmm, break it."
Seeing her father's nonchalant attitude, Qin Yu's eyebrows furrowed, and she slammed her sword on the table: "Father! This is a major bottleneck in the Flesh Refining Realm! Shouldn't you explain the key points to me in detail?"
"What's there to talk about?"
Qin Fangqiong swallowed the orange, rolled her eyes, and said, "It's just refining meat, right? Your father has prepared all the best pills for you. With your talent, it's a natural process. Don't worry about it."
"Oh……"
Qin Yu pouted. Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with her father's perfunctory attitude, her tense nerves relaxed.
Although Qin Fangqiong acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world, she still secretly glanced at her daughter. Seeing that her daughter had relaxed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
This girl is a bit too tense.
To break through a bottleneck in martial arts, once you have all the external forces, what's left is pure self-confidence. Only by firmly believing in your own abilities can you break through the barrier in one go.
Being preoccupied with gains and losses is the easiest way to fail!
"Knock knock knock".
There was a knock on the door.
"Master Qin, your disciple Su Yu requests an audience."
"Come in." Qin Fangqiong put aside her thoughts and resumed her inscrutable demeanor.
Su Yu pushed open the door and entered, his expression solemn, and bowed respectfully.
"What is it?"
Su Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Master Qin, my family members have been kidnapped by Cao Bin, the leader of the Water Snake Gang, and taken to the Qingxi Market stronghold. Their lives are hanging by a thread. I wish to go and rescue them, but I fear this will cause a conflict with the Water Snake Gang, so I have come to report this."
Qin Fangqiong paused slightly as she picked up the orange, then asked, "What realm is Cao Bin at?"
"A beginner in martial arts."
Qin Fangqiong picked up the orange segment again and ate it casually.
"He has an old grudge against my older brother..."
"Alright." Qin Fangqiong waved her hand, interrupting Su Yu's explanation. "I don't care about grudges and personal grievances. Since you're a member of our White Ape Martial Arts School, if you're bullied, then get revenge. Let Xu Feng accompany you."
His tone was indifferent, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
Su Yu's expression stiffened slightly, and all the prepared remarks stuck in his throat.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that perhaps many troubles were no longer so difficult for him as a martial artist.
"Yes."
Su Yu suppressed his distracting thoughts, clasped his hands in a salute, and turned to leave.
"etc!"
A melodious and clear sound rang out.
"Senior sister, what is it?"
Qin Yu stood up abruptly, her red dress blazing like fire, her eyes flashing with malice. She didn't look at Su Yu, but at her father, her pretty face filled with anger:
"Dad! I want to go too! Who does that Cao Bin think he is, daring to act so arrogantly towards our White Ape Martial Arts School disciples? If word gets out, where will we put our faces?"
Upon hearing her words, Master Qin felt a headache coming on. "Where are you going? You're so reckless. Hong Lei, the leader of the Water Snake Gang, has the Black Water Python Technique. Even I have a headache with him. Don't let things escalate."
"I know what I'm doing! He's just a small-time boss; I promise I'll only kill him!"
Qin Yu ignored all advice, strode to the door, grabbed Su Yu's arm, and dragged him out: "Let's go! Senior Brother Xu isn't at the martial arts school, let's go to his house! I'll lead the way!"
Su Yu was dragged along by her, walking quickly. Seeing the excited look on her pretty face, he didn't know how to comment. But it was a good thing after all. Senior Sister Qin had gone, and all the problems had been solved.
As the two stepped out of the martial arts hall, a biting wind swept by, and a few icy crystals landed on Su Yu's cheeks, instantly turning into cold water.
Snowing!
……
Qingxi Market, the stronghold of the Water Snake Gang.
Scattered snowflakes began to fall, dotting the scarlet bloodstains and turning them into a red and white color.
Cao Bin stepped on Su Hong's palm with one foot, grinding the sole of his boot hard.
"Click-clack".
The sound of bones cracking was particularly jarring in the silent snow.
"Su Hong, you're just a nobody who once knocked on the gate, yet you dared to cut off one of my fingers and kill my only relative, my younger brother. Now... I'll let you taste the same bitterness."
He glared at Su Hong menacingly, wanting to see him scream in agony.
However, Su Hong gritted her teeth and remained silent, staring intently at him as snowflakes fell on his blood-stained face.
"Good! You've got guts!"
Cao Bin sneered and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the blood off the knife. The pristine white handkerchief was instantly stained red. He casually tossed it aside, and the handkerchief drifted to the ground, gradually being covered by the thin snow.
He carried the knife and walked towards the other Su family members who were tied up. He knew that Su Hong cared most about his family!
Su Manjiang shivered from the cold, like a withered old tree root, barely clinging to life in the wind and snow: "Young man... show mercy where you can... my grandson is about to break through to the Martial Artist realm..."
Chen screamed from the side, "You bastards, let me go! My son Can'er is about to break through! How dare you touch me..."
"Su Can? A piece of trash! He actually broke through to the Martial Realm?"
Cao Bin threw his head back and laughed wildly, his breath turning into rising steam: "Hahahaha! I'm waiting for Su Can. When he appears, your Su family will be wiped out!"
"You dog, you beast! You're talking nonsense! My son is a genius, he'll kill you if he comes!" Chen went berserk when she heard someone say that her son was a good-for-nothing.
Cao Bin's face turned cold. "Crazy woman, since you're courting death, I'll teach you a lesson first!"
"Pfft!"
As the blade flashed, blood splattered all over Chen's body, and she let out a scream.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier.
Just then, a woman's soft moans came from inside the room: "Ah... Brother Luo... so fierce..."
Hearing this voice, Cao Bin stood in the swirling snow and laughed loudly: "Brother Luo is amazing!"
Outside the outpost, the wind and snow blurred the view.
Su Dawen and Su Can hid in the corner of Fuxianlou not far away, their bodies covered in snow.
"Father... tell me to go save my mother!" Su Can's eyes were red, and he was trembling all over, it was hard to tell whether it was from the cold or from excitement.
Su Dawen's hands, veins bulging, gripped his son's hand tightly: "You can't go! Those are martial artists! Wait... wait for your second brother, Su Yu, to come along!"
"What's the use of my second brother coming? He'll just be throwing his life away! ...If Mother dies, I won't live either..."
"Calm down! As long as you don't show up, Cao Bin will be wary and won't kill your mother and the others!"
At that moment, a scream came from inside the courtyard.
The string of reason in Su Can's mind snapped completely.
"Bang!"
He flung his father aside, kicked open the courtyard gate like a mad bull, and rushed inside amidst the swirling snow.
Su Can rushed into the courtyard, where a world of red and white greeted him.
The white is snow, the red is blood.
The mother lay in the corner, her hair disheveled and her face covered in blood.
"Go save your mother!"
Just then, he heard his father's angry roar from behind. He snapped out of his daze, gritted his teeth, and charged at his mother with his father!
Cao Bin stood in the middle of the snow, watching the two men rushing towards him, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
With a single glance, he ordered his men to stop Su Dawen. Su Dawen was just an ordinary person, and he was instantly stopped by two gang members and slashed to the ground.
"father!!!"
Su Can turned around, her heart clenching.
Although he had just verbally scolded his father for being a burden, he knew in his heart that they had done their best, and he was the one who was just a burden!
With his mother waiting to be rescued and his father also injured, the murderous intent in his heart finally erupted.
"kill!!!"
He unleashed all his energy, his fist blasting away the falling snowflakes, and struck the enemy's head with a loud "thud," splattering a large amount of blood.
One punch! One punch! And another! He quickly knocked down several enemies and reached his mother's side. He could do it! He could kill the enemies! He could save his mother!
Covered in blood, Chen watched her son's violent outburst as he killed several people. A startled hope flickered in her eyes. "Son, my son has come to save me!"
In the distance, Su Manjiang also shakily raised his head, and hope shone in his cloudy old eyes. His grandson, who had suppressed all his hopes, had come to save the Su family!
However, the next second, a gust of wind sent snowflakes flying.
A dark figure appeared behind Su Can like a ghost. Cao Bin raised his ghost-head longsword high, the blade reflecting the swirling snowflakes.
"Pfft!"
The blade flashed and fell.
Su Can's fist froze in mid-air.
Immediately afterwards, the right arm that carried hope was cleanly severed at the elbow, spinning as it fell into the thick snowdrift, instantly creating a deep red crater.
Blood splattered all over Chen's face.
