Chapter 1411 - 1388: A Single Chopstick Seals the Throat!
Cao Bin, the renowned Dragon Child of the Cao Family, who has inherited the purest bloodline, possesses extraordinary martial arts talent and astonishing comprehension!At the mere age of thirty, he has already stepped into the Initial-Tier Divine King level, fully mastering the Cao Family’s secret killing techniques. His strength is terrifyingly overwhelming—he once defeated an experienced Mid-Tier Divine King from a fourth-line family in just seven moves, making him a legend across the Endless Deep Mountains, and a pride of the younger generation in the Cao Family!
He is a beacon in the hearts of countless ancient martial artists in the Endless Deep Mountains, and the dream lover of countless young female martial artists!
It can even be said that the Cao Family’s performance in the Hundred Clans Grand Tournament this time entirely depends on whether Cao Bin performs well or poorly. He alone can equal the strength of thousands of soldiers and warhorses!
The majority of people in the inn cast shocked glances at the person who interrupted the conversation!
Li Ying of the Li Family swallowed hard, patted that person on the shoulder, and asked, "Bro, is it true? Master Cao Bin is here?!"
The person chuckled and said, "Do you think I would deceive you? I am Cao Yuan, Cao Bin’s cousin, and I came here today with my cousin. He’s currently resting at the inn."
"Hiss—"
A series of sharp inhales echoed in the room!
The majority of people in the inn, led by Li Ying and his three companions, now wore expressions of intense shock!
They couldn’t believe that the Cao Family, a prestigious first-line family, had really sent someone to congratulate the Qin Family and the Six Fan Gates on their alliance through marriage!
Even more unexpected, the person the Cao Family sent was the well-known prodigy and strongest talent, Dragon Child Cao Bin!
The grandeur and spectacle of this Qin Family marriage alliance is truly astounding!
Besides shock, many people in the room also had their faces turn livid with a difficult color!
This group of individuals couldn’t help but smash their ceramic bowls filled with strong alcohol onto the table with a "thud"!
The commotion caught everyone’s attention, and they all turned their heads to look.
Li Ying pointed to a group of people in a corner of the first floor and laughed heartily: "Haha, did you all see that? They got so nervous as soon as they heard that Master Cao Bin came to support the Qin Family!"
"Nervous, nervous, haha!"
The crowd erupted in laughter, causing those individuals to look even more upset!
With a mocking expression, Li Ying stood up, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked towards the corner of the first floor, pacing around the tables and surveying those people with a series of scornful clicking sounds from his tongue.
Each of their faces turned green with rage, grumbling with anger, but none of them turned to look at Li Ying. Instead, they quietly picked up their wine cups and drank in silence.
"I know you all, and I recognize you."
"You people are either those whose fiancées were forcibly defiled by Qin Shou, or whose wives were abducted and ruined by Qin Shou, or whose property and the like was violently seized by him."
"So, you who harbor a deep and irreconcilable hatred towards Qin Shou, when you heard he was getting married, decided to risk everything to cause trouble and take revenge on him, to make sure he doesn’t have a happy ending, am I right?"
"It’s just a pity, your thoughts are too naïve!"
Li Ying mocked with a laugh: "Qin Shou’s enemies are numerous, and his father, Qin Fen, knows this all too well. To prevent any trouble at the marriage scene, Qin Fen deliberately made the ceremony exceptionally grand, inviting a horde of prestigious families to hold the fort! The moment we, as Qin Shou’s friends and family, including Cao Bin, arrive, even if you had ten times the courage, you wouldn’t dare cause trouble and can only swallow your bitterness!"
He arrogantly kicked over the tables in front of him!
Everything on the tables—plates, cups, and the like—fell to the ground and shattered with a "clang"!
"Li Ying, you have gone too far!" Qin Shou’s enemies fumed with anger, rising violently and drawing their long swords, pointing them at Li Ying’s head from afar.
But the next second, they deflated, they chickened out!
"Bang!"
"Thump!"
"Clang!"
A series of table-slamming sounds rang out!
Including Cao Bin’s cousin, the descendants of the ancient martial artist families who came to Wuya Town to support and cheer for the Qin Family all stood up, directing eyes filled with endless murderous intent toward Qin Shou’s enemies!
The atmosphere inside the inn immediately became tense!
Of course, the momentum of Qin Shou’s friends and family overpowered that of his enemies, almost in a one-sided advantage!
This is because Qin Shou bullies the weak and fears the strong. Those he has wronged are typically of ordinary status, at most the offspring of ancient martial forces in the Seven-Ring Region; they might be big shots in their own spheres, but compared to prodigies from the ancient martial clans, they are nothing!
Qin Shou’s enemies instantly became silent as cicadas in winter, their eyes evasive, and their hands trembling as they gripped their swords, completely losing their momentum.
"Kid, do you know what real power is? Still dare to make a fuss?"
"The caliber of the ancient martial clans is beyond what you small beings can imagine!"
"Not to mention if Qin Shou wants to sleep with your wives, even if he wants to sleep with your mothers, you wouldn’t have the right to say ’no.’ The ancient martial clans are not something you waste can afford to provoke!"
"If you have the guts, go cause trouble at Wuya Peak tomorrow and see if you’re executed after causing trouble or struck down even before making any moves. Go down to hell and reunite with your wives who were humiliated to death!"
"And you’re still thinking of seeking revenge on Qin Shou, disrupting his wedding? You really have no awareness of your position!"
"I’m telling you, with Master Cao Bin and us personally overseeing things, even if the Divine King himself came tomorrow, he wouldn’t be able to ruin Qin Shou’s wedding. Ye Bingning will undoubtedly be delivered to Qin Shou’s bed without any surprises, just like your fiancées and wives—becoming his bed plaything and a sacrificial piece in this alliance, suffering humiliation and disgrace..."
Li Ying’s face was filled with contempt for the offspring of the martial forces, slapping the faces of Qin Shou’s enemies one after another, his head held high, mocking them with haughty and disparaging words!
Qin Shou’s enemies were flushed with anger, their eyes bloodshot, but facing so many prodigies from the ancient martial clans, they couldn’t summon any thoughts of resistance!
Yet as soon as Li Ying mentioned Ye Bingning, the temperature in the room plummeted to freezing point, and everyone felt as if they were in a Siberian ice house, their blood chilling painfully!
Meanwhile, a rapid "whoosh" of the wind sounded!
Something shot across the air so fast it was a blur, like an arrow of light piercing through, sealing Li Ying’s throat, gouging through it, drawing a trace of blood, and finally embedding deeply into the pillar by the tavern’s door!
Then everyone realized, it was a chopstick!
A pitch-black chopstick, stained with blood!
"Thud!"
Li Ying fell to the ground with eyes wide open, his life slipping away with the blood spraying from his throat, soon utterly lifeless, not knowing even in death how he had met his end!
The crowd’s expressions turned to utter fear, and they all instinctively looked toward the table by the second-floor railing!
There sat a man casually drinking, and the pair of chopsticks he held now had only one stick left; he picked up another clean one, grabbed a piece of meat, and put it into his mouth, chewing leisurely, as if nothing had happened!
"..."
The room was dead silent, plunged into an eerie quiet!
At this moment, the man suddenly turned his head sharply, gazing at everyone on the first floor, his eyes emitting an icy, abyss-like chill, his voice as frigid as the underworld: "Let me make it clear, anyone who dares utter any disgusting words about Ye Bingning will share his fate!"
