Chapter 478: Qin Family’s Old Grudge (Part )
So far, Qin Ku and Qin Tianjiu had fought for 300 rounds, and both of them were covered in wounds, scars, and blood. But even so, they still attacked frantically, and neither of them had the slightest intention of retreating.

The battle was intense and fierce, the attacks were swift and brutal, every move was fatal, every blow was bloody, and such a frenzied fight made the outsiders who didn't know the truth secretly smack their lips: "What kind of deep hatred do these two have? Why do they take turns to attack each other without hesitation, and are determined to kill each other?"

How could this be a duel? It was clearly a fight to the death!

On the sidelines, Qin Da, Qin Er and Qin San looked at Qin Ku in disbelief as he was fighting Qin Tianjiu in close combat and was not at all inferior to him. They held their breath and covered their faces in dismay.

Although they knew that Qin Ku was gifted and had excellent swordsmanship, they never expected that he could fight the "lame swordsman" to a draw.

Little did people know that Qin Tianjiu's martial arts skills were not inferior to Qin Ming's, and he was the top master in the Qin family. There were not many people in the martial arts world who could survive a hundred rounds under his sword, and there were even fewer people who were qualified to fight him head-on with swords.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, the Hexi Qin family is definitely the best in the Central Plains martial arts world. Qin Tianjiu is the best among the best, the best among the best.

I don't know when? Wu Shuang stood behind the crowd, watching the duel between Qin Ku and Qin Tianjiu with interest. In his eyes as bright as stars, a strange light flashed with a hint of deep meaning.

Under the sword-fighting arena, experts look at the details while laymen just watch the excitement.

All the masters held their breath and stared at the battle intently. Seeing the exquisite moves and superb swordsmanship, they couldn't help but have golden lights in their eyes and secretly admired.

As for those who have mediocre martial arts skills or know nothing about swordsmanship, they are deeply attracted by the frequent dangers and the thrilling fights.

At this moment, Qin Ku and Qin Tianjiu were both using the Qin Family Swordsmanship, also known as the "Red Fire Volume 1".

It is open and close, fierce and swift, and very entertaining. Compared with other introverted, insidious or opportunistic martial arts, it is more lively and more popular.

Qin Ku and Qin Tianjiu had an irreconcilable feud, so they attacked without restraint and without mercy, making the battle even more exciting and attracting cheers and endless jubilation from all around.

In the hot and exciting atmosphere, Qin Ku and Qin Tianjiu, who were at the center of the vortex, fought more and more bravely, completely ignoring their own injuries. They let the knife wounds be shocking and the blood flow, but they still fought madly without knowing the pain.

"Clang clang clang!"

The collision of the blades produced bursts of sharp and piercing golden sounds, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes far, sometimes near, one after another, continuously, sometimes loud as heavy rain, sometimes as soft as whispers.

The two men were completely blood-thirsty. They dodged and moved around, flying up and down, fighting until the sky was dark and the sun and moon were invisible.

"Boy, it seems you have put in a lot of effort in the past few years!"

Qin Tianjiu stared with his bloodshot old eyes, staring viciously at Qin Ku who was covered in blood.

Qin Ku kept on attacking with a grim smile on his face, and said contemptuously: "Old man, your swordsmanship has not improved at all, but is even duller than before. Is it because you are too old to even lift the sword?"

"Insanity!"

Qin Tianjiu shouted angrily and flew in front of Qin Ku. The short knife in his hand was as fast as a poisonous snake, cunning and tricky. In the blink of an eye, he stabbed several bloody holes in Qin Ku's body.

Qin Ku was not willing to be outdone, so he swung his knife backhand, leaving a gash about two feet long on Qin Tianjiu's chest. Fortunately, the wound was not deep, and only the skin and flesh were turned outward, but Qin Tianjiu's internal organs were not seen pouring out.

"Ha ha……"

Qin Ku let the bright red blood gush out, not only was he not afraid, but he laughed wildly towards the sky, as if Qin Tianjiu's knife was scratching his itch.

At this moment, Qin Ku and Qin Tianjiu could no longer feel the pain, and only numbness remained.

"Qin Ku usually looks timid and cowardly, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless when fighting with others!"

On the sidelines, Xie Xuan seemed deeply shocked by Qin Ku's performance and couldn't help but smack his lips repeatedly.

Luo Tianjin looked at the battle meaningfully and asked quietly, "What do you think...how does Qin Ku compare to Liu Xunyi?"

Hearing this, Xie Xuan and the others were all secretly surprised, and their faces changed at the same time. Jiang Yiwei frowned slightly and asked back: "What does the mansion master mean..."

"I'm just asking casually, feel free to ask!" Luo Tianjin looked indifferent and nonchalant.

"This……"

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Bugui spoke first: "In terms of martial arts, Qin Ku is not inferior to Liu Xunyi. In terms of intelligence, Qin Ku may look simple and honest, but he can make a name for himself in the martial arts world alone, so he must have his own strengths. Compared with Liu Xunyi... they both have their own merits."

"But in terms of personality, Qin Ku and Liu Xunyi are completely different!" Murong Bai pondered, "Qin Ku is cynical and unrestrained. He likes to act on impulse and lacks responsibility. Although he occasionally surprises people, he is not capable of taking on important tasks. On the other hand, Liu Xunyi is modest and prudent, behaves steadily, knows the overall situation, and does everything the mansion master asks him to do properly. Therefore, when it comes to becoming a great man... I am more optimistic about Liu Xunyi."

"That's wrong." Jiang Yiwei shook his head and said, "Liu Xunyi has been impulsive many times. Have you forgotten how he disobeyed the orders of the Palace Master in public in Hexi last year?"

"Liu Xunyi is young after all, so it's understandable that he is sometimes extreme when encountering things." Murong Bai argued with reason, unwilling to be outdone. "I have a completely different opinion from you." Jiang Yiwei argued, "I think Qin Ku seems to be crazy and incapable of taking on important tasks, but in fact, this is just his superficial appearance. 'Ghost Sees Sorrow' understands the rules and regulations of walking in the world better than Liu Xunyi. He is not like Liu Xunyi who is full of benevolence and morality, and always talks about 'family, country and the world' and 'national justice'. Qin Ku is both good and evil. He is loyal to his friends and is willing to help them. He is ruthless and unscrupulous to his enemies. Such people are more likely to thrive in the bloody world. On the other hand, Liu Xunyi, although usually respectful and humble, often becomes conservative and even ignorant of the times when encountering major issues. Reckless and stupid. Therefore, if you ask me who will have the last laugh between the two of us, I think the unruly Qin Ku has more potential than Liu Xunyi."

"you……"

"What Jiang Yiwei said makes sense." Xie Xuan interrupted Murong Bai's argument and said, "The Jianghu is not a charity, nor is it the imperial court. Family, country, and national justice are not the responsibilities of people in the Jianghu. It is true that we must abide by morality, but sometimes we must also know how to 'adapt'. In this respect, Liu Xunyi is indeed not as good as Qin Ku."

Hearing this, Jiang Yiwei couldn't help but show joy on his face, but Murong Bai frowned slightly, as if he didn't agree.

"However, what Murong Bai said is not wrong." Xie Xuan continued calmly, "Liu Xunyi's ability is obvious to everyone in the Xianwang Mansion. He is indeed more reliable than Qin Ku, who is blinded by money. Liu Xunyi can kill for his friends and is unmoved by money, but Qin Ku is more willing to kill for money. This is the biggest difference between the two. Therefore, in terms of loyalty and righteousness, I think Liu Xunyi is better than Qin Ku."

"In fact, Liu Xunyi and Qin Ku are both rare young talents. They both have outstanding skills and are good at their own things." Yan Bugui said, "Who will be successful? I think it does not depend on them, but on the people who employ them. As the saying goes, 'every inch has its own strengths'. There are some things that Liu Xunyi can do but Qin Ku can't. Similarly, there are some things that Liu Xunyi can't do but Qin Ku can succeed immediately."

Silently listening to several people expressing their opinions, Luo Tianjin couldn't help but show a hint of amusement in his eyes. He nodded slightly as if to agree or not, but did not make any judgment.

On the other side, Jin Fuyu looked at the two men who were fighting so hard that they couldn't separate. He said inexplicably, "It's a pity that a master can't be used by himself, but is given away for nothing."

Jin Fu Yu's words made Qin Ming feel depressed.

He didn't know whether Jin Fuyu was speaking from his heart or was he making a veiled allusion to something else? It was the case that the speaker was unintentional but the listener was intentional, which made Qin Ming feel mixed and extremely depressed.

If Qin Ku returns to the Qin family, it will undoubtedly be icing on the cake and add even more strength, making the Hexi Qin family's status in the world even higher.

It's a pity that Qin Ku and the Hexi Qin family had already parted ways, and they were even incompatible and would not stop until one side died.

At this moment, Qin Ku and Qin Tianjiu had been fighting for nearly an hour, but there was still no winner, and it was difficult to tell who was better.

"Keng!"

With a loud bang, the two separated immediately, each flew back several feet, turned over and landed on the ground, standing face to face.

"Old man, it's not easy to kill you."

The linen clothes on Qin Ku's body were soaked with blood, dyed into patches of bright red, and the corners of the clothes were even dripping with blood.

He casually wiped his bloodstained face with his big hand, then put his slippery fingers stained with blood into his mouth, smacked it a few times with relish, and grinned: "However, you have already used up your 'three axes'. Now you are at your wit's end, just like a spent force."

Qin Tianjiu's injuries were even worse than Qin Ku's. His body was covered with knife wounds, especially on his lame leg, where there were bloody wounds so deep that the bone was visible. Blood flowed down his trouser legs into his boots until they overflowed, which was unbearable to look at.

Qin Tianjiu was breathing heavily, and his hand holding the knife was shaking slightly because of the serious injury. He said hoarsely: "You are familiar with my methods, and I also know your vital points. Right now, I can't do anything to you, and you can't do anything to me either."

"is it?"

Suddenly, a creepy smile appeared on Qin Ku's dirty face. At the same time, his hunched body slowly straightened up, and the fatigue lingering on his body gradually dissipated, replaced by an increasingly fierce murderous aura.

"Old man, you have tried your best, but I may not." Qin Ku sneered, "Just now I was just playing with you to stretch your muscles. Now the real show begins."

The sudden change surprised all the spectators and they all gasped.

Luo Tianjin, Jin Fuyu, Qin Ming and other masters all frowned and looked serious, wondering whether Qin Ku was just bluffing or was really confident.

On the stage, Qin Tianjiu was also shocked by Qin Ku's reaction, but he concealed it very well and outsiders could not see that he was panicked at all.

Qin Tianjiu stared at Qin Ku, whose momentum was becoming more and more fierce, and said disdainfully: "You are a young boy who is still wet behind the ears. You also want to learn to act pretentiously? I have been in the martial arts world for decades. I have seen all kinds of monsters and demons. You can scare others, but you can't scare me!"

"Qin Tianjiu, I will leave 3,600 knives on your body to comfort the spirits of my parents in heaven!"

Hearing this, whether out of fear or shame, Qin Tianjiu was furious. He quickly held the dagger across his body and shouted with gnashing teeth, "Just relying on a bastard like you?"

"With this knife in my hand!"

With a loud shout, Qin Ku flew up at lightning speed.

Qin Tianjiu was furious and let out an almost crazy roar from his throat. Suddenly, he stomped his foot and swung his knife towards Qin Ku.
