#249 - Qin Buyi, Minister of Justice (Part 2)
Qin Buyi stretched out his finger, using it as a sword, and pointed it at the half-step Great Ascension who was speaking.
“Killing Life·Seizing Longevity!”
“Boom!”
A thunderous sound, like an explosion, rang from Qin Buyi's fingertip.
A streak of purple lightning flew from Qin Buyi's fingertip and struck down towards the half-step Great Ascension Realm cultivator.
“Boom!”
The difference in battle strength and realm was too great; the half-step Great Ascension Realm cultivator who was speaking didn't even have time to react.
The purple lightning struck him directly on the head.
Qin Buyi intentionally controlled the extent of the life-seizing. After the purple lightning entered the half-step Great Ascension Realm cultivator's body,
it was like peeling silk from a cocoon, taking away the spiritual power and vitality within the half-step Great Ascension Realm cultivator's body bit by bit.
Upon seeing this scene, the Li family's expressions changed.
One of the two Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivators spoke up, “Dean Qin, what are you doing? Are you trying to force a confession through torture?”
Qin Buyi didn't deny this accusation and directly said, “You're wrong. I'm preparing to extract a confession through severe torture.”
The Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator who spoke glared at Qin Buyi and said, “You...”
Qin Buyi ignored him and directly said, “Noisy!”
He then turned to look at the half-step Great Ascension Realm cultivator whose spiritual power was constantly draining away and said:
“From now on, you only have thirty breaths to think.”
“If you exceed thirty breaths, your lifespan will come to an end.”
After saying that, Qin Buyi began to count down, “Now beginning the countdown.”
“Thirty.”
“Twenty-nine.”
......
Feeling the gradual loss of vitality and spiritual power within his body, the half-step Great Ascension Realm cultivator's face turned pale, then white.
He tried to open his mouth several times, but seeing the warning in the eyes of the other six members of the Li family, he had no choice but to suppress the words in his heart.
Qin Buyi's voice rang in his ears like a death sentence from a judge.
“Twenty-five.”
“Twenty-four.”
.......
“Twenty.”
When he counted to twenty, Qin Buyi said:
“Oh, right, a friendly reminder.”
“If you want to speak, speak quickly. Each breath that passes causes tremendous damage to your foundation.”
“It's very likely that because you delayed by one breath, you'll have no hope of reaching the next realm in this lifetime.”
By the time Qin Buyi counted to twenty breaths, the half-step Great Ascension Realm cultivator already had a full head of white hair.
His body was even revealing emptiness from the inside out...
“Fifteen.”
“Fourteen.”
......
“Ten.”
“Nine.”
......
“Two.”
“One.”
As Qin Buyi's voice fell, the half-step Great Ascension Realm cultivator's body instantly turned into dust, as if it had weathered for thousands of years.
The space ring left behind by the half-step Great Ascension Realm cultivator after his death was grabbed by Qin Buyi and placed into the system's storage space.
Scanning the remaining six members of the Li family, Qin Buyi nodded slightly and said:
“Not bad, you have some backbone.”
“Next.”
Qin Buyi's gaze swept across the six people. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to meet Qin Buyi's eyes.
They were afraid that they would be the next lucky one.
Qin Buyi pointed at the Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator who had accused him of forcing a confession and said, “It's you.”
“Killing Life·Seizing Longevity!”
Purple lightning flew from Qin Buyi's fingertip and landed on the Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator.
Even Li Yuan, a Great Ascension Realm後期 cultivator, didn't have time to react to this killing move. How could this Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator have time to resist?
After the purple lightning entered this Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator's body, Qin Buyi said:
“Thirty breaths is too long. From now on, you only have twenty breaths.”
“After twenty breaths, even an immortal coming here won't be able to save you.”
“Now start the timer.”
“Twenty.”
......
“Fifteen.”
......
“Ten.”
By the time Qin Buyi counted to ten, this Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator not only had a full head of white hair, but his tight and lustrous skin was also like cracked, withered wood.
His bright and piercing eyes gradually became muddy and dim.
Feeling these changes in his body, the emotion of fear rapidly expanded at this moment.
Death is terrifying to everyone, but it is especially terrifying to these Great Ascension Realm cultivators who have lived for thousands of years.
On the battlefield, you might die with a single blow, and that would be the end of it.
But now, watching yourself walk towards death with your own eyes, this fear is undoubtedly magnified infinitely.
“Five.”
When Qin Buyi counted to five, this Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator's cultivation realm suddenly dropped to the Great Ascension Realm前期.
“Four.”
Completely falling from the Great Ascension Realm前期 to the Tribulation Transcending Realm.
“Three.”
The Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivation base fell to the Integration Realm cultivation base.
The last line of defense in the heart of this once Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator completely collapsed.
It was certainly terrible for life to come to an end, but it was not unacceptable to grit your teeth and bear it.
However, the cultivation accumulated over thousands of years was rapidly lost in one day. This blow was too great.
It's like a person who has worked hard to save thousands of years of savings, only to have it robbed in an instant.
People who have not experienced this kind of psychological gap simply cannot understand it.
The loss of vitality had already made this once Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator feel a burst of weakness.
Now, coupled with the drop in realm, this weakness had reached its peak.
The once Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator of the Li family hurriedly said, “I'll talk, I...”
“Pfft!”
At the moment he said these words, another Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator struck his heart with a palm.
With a massive loss of vitality and a cultivation base that had fallen to the Integration Realm, how could he resist this palm from a Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator?
His heart shattered, and this once Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator looked at the person who attacked him before his death and said, “Li Tian, you...”
Before he could finish speaking, he completely died and his soul vanished.
Li Tian was too close to the dead Great Ascension Realm中期 cultivator, and this sudden attack caught everyone off guard.
Qin Buyi stared at Li Tian and said, “Li Tian, shouldn't you give me an explanation?”
Li Tian said, “Dean Qin, this person has ulterior motives. In order to survive, he actually wanted to fabricate a story, linking my Li family to the Great Qin Dynasty.”
“He truly deserves to die!”
Li Tian's behavior caused many Great Ascension Realm cultivators who suspected whether the Li family had any connection with the Great Qin Dynasty to gradually come to a conclusion.
A bloodthirsty smile appeared on the corner of Qin Buyi's mouth, “Li Tian, you killed the person, and you cut off the clues.”
“Then you'll be next.”
“Killing Life·Seizing Longevity!”
Purple lightning flew from Qin Buyi's fingertip and landed on Li Tian.
Feeling the loss of spiritual power and vitality within his body, Li Tian's face was somewhat gloomy.
Seeing that Qin Buyi had no intention of letting them go, Li Tian simply decided to fight to the death and no longer acted submissive towards Qin Buyi.
Li Tian stared at Qin Buyi and shouted, “Qin Buyi, what feud does my Li family have with you? Why must you put my Li family to death!”
Qin Buyi said, “Living in the Great Ming Dynasty, receiving the grace of the Great Ming Dynasty for generations, yet defecting to the enemy, the Great Qin Dynasty.”
“This is why your Li family deserves to die!”
