Chapter 7: Chapter 107: Asura

Day and night descended, ten thousand miles of dark clouds rolled, and heavy rain poured down. Large droplets smashed against the eaves with a rhythmic intensity like a requiem, oppressive enough to unsettle the soul, as thunder rolled incessantly...

"Miss, the weather is terribly gloomy, please put on an extra layer!" Lv Xin opened the wardrobe and picked up an ice-blue cloak. The color was so beautiful that one dared not trespass or even approach, much like the woman standing by the window.

"Lv Xin, where has Qing Han gone?" Qin Hanxue closed the wooden window and brushed the rainwater off her body.

"Her? She said she has important matters tonight and cannot stay at the Qin residence to accompany you, Miss." Lv Xin wiped the moisture from Qin Hanxue's body and draped the cloak over her.

Qin Hanxue stroked the ice-blue cloak. "I suspect it is because of Chen Qimo..." It had only been a few days since that man in white spoke; today must be the day...

Prince Mo's Estate

"Master!?"

Qing Han rushed into the Prince Mo's estate, only to find it already in a state of total chaos! The entire courtyard was shrouded in a layer of terror and gloom! Blood flowed like a river! Corpses lay scattered everywhere! The eyes of those lying haphazardly reflected pure fear, looking as if they might snap at any second from the sight before them!

In the very center of the courtyard, Chen Qimo floated in mid-air. His crimson eyes were soul-stirring, and a massive fiery dragon coiled around the blade of the Huokou Sword. No matter how heavy the rain fell, it could not extinguish the dazzling, enchanting halo of fire surrounding him; he was like an Asura descended from hell!

Chen Qimo's red robes were like blood, and the fiery aura around him burned his clothes into a disheveled mess, yet he was beautiful in a way that inspired awe and dread. The gale howled, and thunder and lightning flashed! They whipped up his half-bound black hair, and his red silk sash danced arrogantly amidst the sudden downpour!

His eyes were burning, sternly etched with a single word: "Kill"!

What an aura! What a soul-capturing presence!

Qing Han could not help but be terrified by this bloodthirsty, frenzied scene, stumbling back several steps before her legs gave out and she collapsed to the ground. "Master!..."

As if he hadn't heard, Chen Qimo moved with extreme speed, turning into a streak of red light that pierced through the torrential rain, charging straight toward the other side!

Luo Jiu leaned against a stone wall, one hand gripping his sword to prop himself up while the other pressed against his chest, forcefully spitting out a mouthful of blood!

"Luo Jiu, what is happening?! How... how could Master kill so many people?..." Only then did Qing Han notice Luo Jiu, asking in disbelief!

"It is the Divine Sword, Huokou. *Cough*... I will explain later..." Luo Jiu struggled to stand up, swallowing the blood in his mouth. A metallic tang rushed to his heart as he dragged his body with difficulty toward the gate. "Qing Han, gather all the secret guards! Go to the Qin residence!"

"...Understood!" After a moment of reaction, Qing Han finally nodded with determination!

The Qin Residence

Qin Hanxue vaguely sensed a flash of red light outside the window. She narrowed her eyes and burst through the door!

Lv Xin rushed over in a panic only to find the room empty, and immediately ran out the door!

The Qin family pond had already turned blood-red! It was a shocking sight!

Qin Hanxue stepped through the rainwater, running swiftly toward the front courtyard. Dark clouds rolled for miles, thunder roared, and lightning tore through the long night!

"Prince Mo! You... pull yourself together!!" Both Qin Tianao and Chen Qimo were floating in mid-air. The purple qi rising from the east was gradually being swallowed whole by Chen Qimo's fire dragon, yet he was desperately struggling to hold on! Qin Yufeng was already heavily wounded, the blood at the corner of his mouth washing onto the ground with the rain! The two ladies had also fallen into pools of blood!

The servants and maids were all buried beneath the tide of blood!

Qin Hanxue and Qin Xiyu ran out of the boudoir together. They exchanged a glance, and the latter, ignoring the gravity of the situation, charged straight forward. "Father!" The *Cheng Guang Zhuo Hua* technique was unleashed!

Chen Qimo cast a sharp glance, his crimson eyes shooting forth fury. The red light overflowed, and the resulting air pressure slammed Qin Xiyu directly to the ground! Blood sprayed out!

Qin Tianao attacked with currents of qi from both hands, yet he was no match for Chen Qimo's single-handed strength! Just as he was about to lose his footing, the *Bing Tian Xue Di* technique whirled in with extreme speed, severing Chen Qimo's flying silk sash!

With a single palm strike, Chen Qimo knocked Qin Tianao to the ground, shifting his attention onto Qin Hanxue!
