Divine King of Honour Chapter 1818: Frog in a Well

Shortly after, Xu Nian trailed behind Qin Xue into the Qin Family Mansion.

The Qin Family Mansion boasted impressive grandeur, exuding a majestic presence.

Additionally, it maintained its private guard team.

Yet, these remained mere common cultivators.

To Xu Nian, such individuals seemed no stronger than toddlers of three years.

"Does Heavenly Thunder City rank among the feebler cities within Qing State?" Xu Nian inquired with interest.

"Indeed, Heavenly Thunder City lies quite isolated in Qing State. Over a hundred thousand cities exist there, rendering Heavenly Thunder City utterly unremarkable. Thus, my father's lineage stands as the most feeble offshoot of the Qin Family," Qin Xue explained, a hint of sorrow in her tone.

Xu Nian gave a nod.

A Qin Family Patriarch possessing merely Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivation,

in a vast realm encompassing mortals, immortals, and divine powerhouses, truly appeared feeble.

"Brother Xu Fenn..."

"Simply address me as Xu Fenn. In return, I'll refer to you as Qin Xue."

"Very well, Xu Fenn!"

Qin Xue showed no shyness and accepted without hesitation.

Xu Nian felt far more comfortable with this. Constantly hearing "big brother" from a being over three millennia old had felt oddly uncomfortable.

"Are you aware of the nature of your father's wound?" Xu Nian questioned with curiosity.

"Father suffered a strike from Heavenly Thunder that damaged the core of his soul. That Heavenly Thunder carried potent laws, preventing his recovery," Qin Xue replied.

Xu Nian nodded again.

Upon attaining the Heavenly Immortal Level, whether in the Netherworld or Immortal Realm, one typically heals swiftly using personal power.

However, law-inflicted wounds differ entirely.

These wounds inflict ongoing harm, and without sufficient personal might, natural healing proves elusive.

Evidently, though Qin Xue's father had achieved Heavenly Immortal Level, the Law Realm remained distant for him.

Thus, self-recovery from his injury was practically unattainable.

"Heavenly Thunder? Does it connect to Heavenly Thunder City's name?" Xu Nian probed curiously.

"Correct, within the depths of the Heavenly Thunder Pool lies a Heavenly Thunder Pool that thunder cultivators often frequent for training. Rumors speak of a formidable Divine Thunder lurking further in," Qin Xue stated.

"Divine Thunder?"

Surprise flickered across Xu Nian's face.

Should it be genuine Divine Thunder of great power, even he might struggle to withstand it.

Evidently, the Netherworld hid numerous deadly zones.

Their peril surpassed anything in the Immortal, Demon, and Devil World by far.

Before long, Xu Nian accompanied Qin Xue to the Qin Mansion.

Yet upon arriving at the Qin Family Main Hall, a disturbance reached Xu Nian's ears.

"Lei Li, you've gone too far. The Qin Family won't bow to your whims."

A voice majestic but frail rang out.

In the courtyard stood a pale-faced middle-aged man, glaring icily at the youth before him.

The youth postured with hands clasped behind, eyes haughty, as if the middle-aged man meant nothing.

Numerous Qin Family guards and elders gathered nearby as well.

Still, these guards and elders were but average cultivators.

"Too far? Hah, Family Head Qin, you jest. I merely request Qin Xue spend a few days with me—no marriage involved. When I grow bored, she'll be free to leave," the youth declared with a smug grin.

"You..." Rage exploded in the middle-aged man.

Xu Nian's brow furrowed too.

Arrogance defined this youth utterly.

He boldly demanded Qin Xue's company right before the Qin Family, promising release only after tiring of her.

This outright scorned the entire Qin Family.

A quick scan revealed the youth's cultivation at Middle Stage Heavenly Immortal.

Barely surpassing the Qin Family Head's level.

Qin Xue's expression turned darkly overcast.

Fists tightly balled, her gaze burned with fierce resentment and fury.

"Family Head Qin, heed my warning. Surrender your daughter immediately to spare your branch. Refuse, and the whole Qin Mansion perishes—then your wife and daughter won't merely amuse me, but all of Heavenly Thunder City," the youth sneered.

Fury consumed the middle-aged man instantly.

He charged straight at the youth.

But the youth sneered coldly and unleashed a fist.

"Puff!"

The middle-aged man soared backward, blood erupting from his mouth.

"You dare oppose me? Courting death?" the youth scoffed contemptuously.

"Family Head!"

Shock gripped the nearby Qin Family disciples.

"Father!"

Qin Xue dashed ahead, eyes brimming with concern as she beheld the blood-spewing middle-aged man.

A soul body possesses flesh and blood, appearing indistinguishable from a true physical form outwardly.

When gravely hurt, it bleeds just the same.

"Xue’er?" Spotting Qin Xue, the middle-aged man felt instant shock.

He never imagined Qin Xue would show up at this very moment.

All at once, something dawned on him, and he urgently warned Qin Xue, "Xue’er, run quickly. If you don’t leave now, it’ll be too late."

Qin Changfeng served as Qin Xue’s father and the head of the Qin Family.

The sight of his daughter right then filled him with extreme tension.

"Run? Where to? Qin Xue, come with me for a while, and I’ll spare your father and the Qin Family, or else today the Qin Family will be destroyed!" sneered the young man.

Hands folded behind his back, his stare brimmed with arrogance.

Qin Xue ground her teeth, her gaze blazing with fierce fury.

Right now, she longed to shred Lei Li into bits.

"Don’t look at me like that. I said long ago you’d kneel before me, begging me to play with you!" Lei Li declared with contempt.

"Beast!" Qin Xue spat in rage.

Only those two words could convey the fury boiling within her.

Lei Li overflowed with scorn regardless.

"I think you’re worse than a beast!"

Suddenly, a soft voice rang out.

"Xu Feng?" Qin Xue was instantly stunned.

She hadn’t foreseen Xu Feng chiming in.

Her worry over her father had caused her to overlook Xu Feng entirely.

"Xu Feng, just go. This is none of your business," Qin Xue urged in haste.

Lei Li turned his attention to Xu Feng, a glint of examination in his eyes.

But moments later, contempt surfaced in his gaze.

"A clueless ant dares to disrespect me? You must be tired of living!" Lei Li snorted coldly.

A formidable thunder aura exploded from his frame.

Nearby cultivators were shocked at once, terror crossing their faces.

Qin Xue felt deep anxiety too.

She never expected that bringing Xu Feng would put him in danger.

Yet Xu Feng stayed utterly composed, viewing the thunder cloaking Lei Li with scorn.

Thunder at that level couldn’t even graze him.

How could such a thing threaten him?

Xu Feng had no interest in exchanging words with him.

With a casual sweep of his arm, a terrifying force rushed at Lei Li instantly.

It ripped Lei Li’s body to pieces in a flash!

All the onlookers stood frozen in shock, utterly speechless at the spectacle.
