Chapter 672 - 669: One-Palm Kill

Chapter 672: Chapter 669: One-Palm Kill

Inside the Divine Capital Restaurant, a man appeared, radiating a frigid aura, as if he were the Death God himself. A bone-chilling wind seemed to sweep through the air, seeping into the marrow of everyone present, making their bodies tremble and their hearts freeze with terror.

They knew the young man before them was on the verge of a furious outburst.

The Shopkeeper was already kneeling on the floor, large beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead until a puddle formed beneath him. His voice trembling, he stammered, "Those are powerful people, sir. I can’t afford to offend them. I even tried to persuade the young lady not to be so impulsive, but she wouldn’t listen. There was nothing I could do!"

Qin Ya had no intention of blaming the Shopkeeper. He knew this was not something a mere restaurant owner could control. His tone was laced with an icy calm as he asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know who those powerful people were that took the young lady?"

Not daring to hide a single detail, the Shopkeeper hurriedly replied, "They were important people from the Zhang Family and the Li Family... but the one who ultimately took the young lady was Bai Lintian of the Bai Family. It happened less than two hours ago; she should still be unharmed."

Bai Lintian...

Qin Ya’s eyes narrowed, a chilling glint within them. He murmured, "So that’s who was badmouthing me, which made Xiaoyu angry. It was Bai Lintian. I wasn’t going to cause you trouble, yet you came looking for me first."

The moment he finished speaking, Qin Ya vanished. The frigid aura blanketing the Restaurant dissipated along with him. Many of the Martial Artists collapsed to the floor, gasping in relief.

"HUFF... HUFF... He’s finally gone."

"Damn, I really thought I was a dead man just now."

"Hmph. Look at your pathetic state. But... he really was terrifying."

"I have no idea what level his power has reached. To unleash an aura like that... getting into the top one hundred on the Celestial List would be no problem for him."

"Wait a minute... He’s going to challenge the Bai Family, isn’t he?"

Suddenly, the interest of the many Martial Artists was piqued. They all paid their bills and rushed out of the Restaurant. Within moments, the once-bustling establishment fell silent and empty.

Many of the Martial Artists spread the word as they ran. The news that Qin Ya was going to confront the Bai Family spread through every street and alley. Hearing the commotion, countless Martial Artists swarmed in the direction of the Bai Family residence.

"I heard the Bai Family’s Celestial Nobility is an extraordinary expert, even among the Seventy-Two Celestial Dukes. His power is enough to rank in the top twenty of the Celestial List—he’s a peak Half-Venerable."

"Tsk, tsk. And that’s not all. The Bai Family has a legacy stretching back nearly a thousand years; their reputation is well-earned. For Qin Ya to dare provoke them... his guts are something else."

"We’ll see if it’s guts or just arrogant ignorance."

SWOOSH, SWOOSH, SWOOSH...

Countless figures streaked through the Divine Capital. Before long, they had surrounded the Bai Family’s home, forming an impenetrable perimeter. Yet Qin Ya seemed slower than them and was still nowhere to be seen.

The crowd of Martial Artists grew puzzled, and some even started cursing out loud.

"Which son of a bitch said Qin Ya was coming to challenge the Bai Family? There’s not even a shadow of him here! See? I told you. How could that kid have the guts?"

"Qin Ya’s this slow? Why isn’t he here yet?"

"Everyone, calm down. Let’s just wait. He’ll probably show up soon."

"Look! It’s Qin Ya!"

Hundreds of yards from the Bai Mansion’s main gate, a figure in white was seen slowly approaching. With every step, his terrifying aura climbed, making the very air around him tremble.

He wasn’t late; he simply hadn’t known the location of the Bai Mansion and had to spend some time asking for directions. As he arrived, the gazes of every Martial Artist present instantly fixated on him, their eyes filled with surprise and shock.

Setting aside all else, that aura alone was enough to shake them to the core.

Qin Ya’s pace seemed slow, but each stride covered dozens of yards. In just a few steps, he appeared before the gates of the Bai Mansion.

BOOM...

In that instant, an unimaginably terrifying aura erupted. Countless currents of air began to churn, sweeping over the entire Bai Mansion like a violent tempest!

As if in response to Qin Ya’s aura, an equally tyrannical pressure swept out from the depths of the Bai Mansion, clashing with his in the empty space between them!

Separated by a single gate, the two had suddenly engaged in an invisible clash!

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...

The mere collision of their auras sent the air into a frenzy, kicking up a fierce gale. The air itself was compressed to the breaking point, creating a series of sharp sonic booms.

Caught in the crossfire of their auras, the main gates of the Bai Mansion exploded into splinters!

HISS...

Countless people drew a sharp, cold breath, their eyes filled with terror.

’Can a King truly possess such an aura?’ There were more than a few Half-Venerable Martial Artists among them, yet even they felt immense pressure under that spiritual weight.

"This Qin Ya... he’s the real deal!"

"If I’m not mistaken, that aura bursting from the Bai Mansion belongs to the Bai Family’s Celestial Nobility. Only he would possess the power to confront Qin Ya like this."

"Now the show begins. Who will win this fight?"

Meanwhile, everyone inside the Bai Mansion had been thrown into a state of utter panic.

Men and women, young and old—all except for a few of the strongest experts—were forced to their knees, trembling uncontrollably. The faces of the dozens of Bai Family Elders were grim to the extreme.

"That aura just now was the Patriarch’s!"

"Who is it?! Who dares to provoke our Bai Mansion! What audacity!"

"But judging by that aura, the intruder’s strength is anything but ordinary."

"Let’s go see what’s happening."

In an instant, numerous Elders rushed out of the main hall and to the front gate. What met their eyes was a young man in white robes. The sight of him made their pupils shrink.

’So young? Is he a King?’

"Everyone, be extremely careful. I fear this person is no simple opponent."

Just then, a Bai Family Elder stepped forward. Staring daggers at Qin Ya, he said in a cold voice, "And who might you be, to dare come to our Bai Family looking for trouble?"

"I am... Qin Ya!"

Qin Ya?!

Upon hearing that name, the expressions of the Elders all shifted.

Qin Ya—the young Celestial Nobility who had been all the talk recently. The peerless King who had single-handedly battled Wu Xue. The Celestial List expert who had slain Yann Xiao, the Son of a Celestial Marquis... That name alone carried a shocking weight.

"What business do you have at the Bai Mansion?"

"Tell Bai Lintian to get his ass out here," Qin Ya said, his voice like ice.

"How dare you!!"

Bai Lintian was a distinguished figure in the Bai Family, the future heir to the position of Patriarch. To a certain extent, he represented the very honor of the Bai Family. For Qin Ya to demand he "get his ass out here" made the Elder’s face contort with fury. He raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike at Qin Ya.

A vast and mighty wave of Palm Qi shot through the air!

Yet Qin Ya merely raised his eyes, his expression utterly indifferent. The True Meaning of Destruction flowed forth, condensing in his palm. He met the attack with a seemingly effortless palm strike of his own.

BOOM! The two palms collided.

*SPURT...*

A fine mist of blood sprayed into the air. The Elder was thrown backward like a kite with a severed string, all the bones in his body shattering upon impact. He landed on the ground like a dead dog, twitched twice, then his head lolled to the side, his last breath gone.

A single palm strike, and a Bai Family Elder lay dead.
