Chapter 4649

“Now it’s your turn. Do you know what kind of person I despise the most?”

Kai’s icy gaze locked onto Qian Yue.

At this moment, Kai’s heart was burning with fury. He had once trusted Qian Yue, even considered giving him a hand up.

But he never expected his goodwill to be trampled on, and in the end, Qian Yue betrayed him without hesitation!

“I… I don’t know…”

Qian Yue avoided Kai’s eyes, his voice trembling.

“I hate traitors the most. And everyone who betrays me faces only one consequence—death.”

As Kai uttered the word “death,” a terrifying killing aura engulfed Qian Yue.

Qian Yue’s body trembled, and he instinctively stumbled back two steps.

Yet, glancing at Qiu Tu and Master Luan beside him, Qian Yue forced himself to stay firm.

“You’re all talk! With Young Master Qiu and Master Luan here, you won’t dare to kill me!”

“They won’t just stand by and watch. If you make a move, you’ll be the one to suffer!”

“Hmph!”

Kai scoffed coldly, his eyes filled with contempt. He didn’t take Qiu Tu or Master Luan seriously at all.

“You two—get lost.”

Kai’s chilling words were directed at Qiu Tu and Master Luan.

The two exchanged a glance. Qiu Tu’s expression darkened as he spoke coldly, “Kid, Qian Yue now belongs to my Qiu Family. If you want to kill him, I won’t allow it.”

“I don’t care if you’re Criminal Daorong’s guest official. If you anger me, you’ll face consequences you can’t bear.”

“You killed my brother—that’s settled. But if you back off and leave the Immortal Spirit Stone Vein, I’ll let you and these three leave unharmed. From now on, we’ll stay out of each other’s way.”

Despite his threatening tone, Qiu Tu wasn’t confident.

After seeing Kai easily escape the Heaven-Swallowing Gourd, Qiu Tu no longer trusted Master Luan’s abilities.

And after clashing with Kai before, it was obvious he wasn’t a match. Now that Kai had broken through to the Mahayana realm, even if they joined forces, their odds of winning were slim.

Yet, abandoning Qian Yue and fleeing would humiliate Qiu Tu.

If word spread, who would still respect the Qiu Family?

So, Qiu Tu tried to intimidate Kai, hoping to scare him off.

Kai burst into laughter at Qiu Tu’s words.

“What’s wrong? Are you scared?” Kai mocked, laughing coldly.

He knew Qiu Tu’s arrogant nature well. If Qiu Tu truly believed he could win, he would never offer a truce.

If Qiu Tu had the upper hand, he would have aimed to kill Kai mercilessly. Talk of “well water not offending river water” was proof that Qiu Tu lacked the confidence to defeat him.

“What a joke! Why would I be afraid?” Qiu Tu sneered, forcing himself to appear calm. “With Master Luan by my side—and myself, of course—how could we lose to you, a mere First Grade Mahayana cultivator?”

“I’m giving you a chance. If you don’t take it, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Kai smirked, his voice dripping with mockery.

“You two are nothing to me. Even if all three of you attacked together, I’d still crush you!”

His blatant disdain ignited Qiu Tu’s fury.

As a noble son of the Qiu Family, how could he tolerate such humiliation?

“A scholar may be killed, but never humiliated…”

“Qian Yue! Master Luan! The three of us will kill this arrogant bastard today! He’s too damn cocky—I’ve had enough!”

Qiu Tu roared, pulling Qian Yue into the fight. After all, more fighters meant more strength.

“Agreed!”

Both Qian Yue and Master Luan nodded, ready to attack.

“Mr. Chen, let me help you!”

Xiong Kuo stepped forward, standing beside Kai.

Though he hadn’t fully recovered after breaking free from his spiritual restraints, he couldn’t watch Kai face three opponents alone.

“You’d better stay back and protect Youngest Sister and Xiong Ying. These three clowns? I can handle them myself.”

Kai ordered Xiong Kuo to fall back, his confidence unwavering.
