In Love With My Fierce Farming Wife!
Chapter 1353: Fight to the Death!

Chapter 1353: Chapter 1353: Fight to the Death!

"Hmph! The mere throne has never caught the eye of this Hall Master. What I have always desired has never been these!"

Ning Wenxuan wore a look of smugness.

"Since it’s not for the throne, then why do you want our lives?" Su Pan’er grew curious.

"That’s because..."

Ning Wenxuan’s smile vanished as he glared at Qin Yi angrily, "Debts of the father are to be repaid by the son! That old wretch not only took advantage of my trust but also stole my beloved! Afterwards, he used that to annihilate my Ghost Valley Sect. The hatred of clan destruction, the rage of having my wife taken! Such a ruthless and unprincipled person who has lost all his conscience, doesn’t he deserve to die, to be killed?"

He angrily questioned the two of them!

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er exchanged glances.

"That old wretch’s life was really good, not waiting for my full strength to develop before he passed away early. Since I cannot settle accounts with him, naturally I can only seek his son to settle this debt properly! Today, if you die by my hand, do not cry out injustice, if you wish to complain, wait until hell to slowly wail to your creditor! Attack!"

Ning Wenxuan roared, and with his last word, he pushed Old Cheng out towards them.

Caught off guard, Old Cheng stumbled towards Qin Yi and Su Pan’er, still looking a bit dazed.

Perhaps due to the words he’d heard, he slowly drew his own sword, "I apologize to you both! First and foremost, I am the Hall Master of the Valley of Ghosts, having followed my lord for many years. My lord once granted me the grace of recognition. It’s only right for me, Old Cheng, to repay kindness with abundant loyalty! As for... as for the affection I have for you two, I shall wait—wait for my next life to serve you as a cow or a horse to repay you both!"

Having said that, he slowly pulled out the long sword in his hand, tossing aside the scabbard, and raised the sword pointing at them both.

"Come on! Draw your weapons, let’s fight honorably!"

Qin Yi’s martial arts and military tactics, aside from the Internal Strength Method, were all taught to him by Old Cheng in front of him. To say that he completely understood Qin Yi’s techniques would be an overstatement, but he was not far off.

Now that he spoke of fighting honorably, where exactly was the honor in that?

"Uncle Master, by saying this, you make me, Qin Yi, feel utterly ashamed!"

Tears shimmered in Qin Yi’s eyes, "Everyone is well aware of my background. I grew up in Luoyan Village, unloved by father and mother, until I was fortunate to be cared for by Uncle Master, who allowed me to practice martial arts and learn military tactics from him, thus setting my destiny. You, Uncle Master, have been with me every step of the way, watching how I have struggled, finally ascending to the throne. It can be said that without you, there would be no Qin Yi today."

With each word, his voice became choked with emotion, yet he grasped Su Pan’er’s hands even tighter.

"But today, Uncle Master, you aim to take my life, fine! I have nothing to say! The only thing I ask of Uncle Master is for my and Pan’er’s child, Little Yanyan. She is still young and ignorant. The affairs of adults should not involve children. I beseech you, Uncle Master, in consideration of our years of acquaintance, leave her a path to life! Take her down the mountain!"

All eyes then fell on Little Yanyan.

Holding a puppy, Little Yanyan herself seemed frightened by her father’s words, mouth agape without uttering a word, eyes teary, yet she did not cry.

It was the soldiers behind Little Yanyan who hastened to protect the First Princess in their midst, slowly retreating.

"This is indeed laughable."

Suddenly, Ning Wenxuan burst into unrestrained laughter, "Qin Yi, oh Qin Yi, you truly are that old man’s seed! Just as heartless and unprincipled! Even at a time like this, I thought the Hall Master would see you begging for mercy for the beauty by your side. Unexpectedly, you plan to drag her down with you! Ha ha ha..."

"You are wrong!"

Despite the opponent’s laughter, Qin Yi still clutched Su Pan’er’s hand, "The reason I do not plead for Pan’er is because I know she would not leave me behind, just as I would not abandon her! How could someone like you understand such emotions?"

Su Pan’er and Qin Yi locked eyes, then stood hand in hand, directly facing the other party.

Ning Wenxuan appeared not to have expected such a response and flew into a rage immediately!

"No matter how cunning you are, since you’ve come here, don’t even think about leaving alive. Attack!"

With a wave of his hand, Old Cheng brandished his long sword, lunging towards the pair.

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er were speaking to each other, yet the tacit understanding they’d nurtured over the years immediately came into play at this crucial moment.

Just as Old Cheng lunged at them, both Qin Yi and Su Pan’er struck out in unison, briefly making contact before returning to their original positions. Neither of them spoke.

Though it was merely a probe, both could see the caution in the other’s eyes!

But before they had a chance to rest, Old Cheng lunged again, unleashing three consecutive attacks, each move a killing blow, covering Qin Yi from head to toe.

Qin Yi and Su Pan’er once again parried, yet still did not strike back.

Old Cheng did not let up, instead, he pressed step by step, with killing intent lingering in every move. Qin Yi and Su Pan’er resisted with all their might, retreating step by step, continually showing restraint and yielding ground.

And just when both sides were fully engaged in their stances, Ning Wenxuan suddenly made his move!

His sneak attack succeeded, striking at Su Pan’er, who happened to have her back turned to him...

"Be careful!"

Qin Yi roared in anger!

Almost simultaneously, he yanked Su Pan’er aside, swapping their positions so that he took the blow himself.

Thud!—

The strike found its mark, and both Qin Yi and Su Pan’er stumbled, getting thrown in opposite directions.

"Puagh!"

Qin Yi spat out a mouthful of blood, which immediately changed Su Pan’er’s complexion! She rushed over to him.

"Qin Yi!"

But in the next moment, a long sword was placed on Qin Yi’s shoulder. This made Su Pan’er dare not make any rash moves.

"Wait a moment! Just wait, I have something to say! Let me finish, or I won’t die in peace!" Su Pan’er shouted urgently.

Old Cheng turned his gaze to Ning Wenxuan.

Ning Wenxuan gave them a sidelong glance and sneered, "Let her speak!" As if she could turn the situation around!

Su Pan’er steadied her breathing before speaking.

"You keep saying it’s for the Valley of Ghosts, on the left, it’s for the Valley of Ghosts, on the right, it’s for the Valley of Ghosts, but do you truly do this for the Valley of Ghosts? Although Qin Yi’s birth father was the previous emperor, what about his birth mother? He’s your young master! By treating him this way, how can you justify yourselves to your sect leader, huh? Speak, I say, speak!"

Her questioning made Old Cheng’s sword on Qin Yi’s neck waver.

"Hmph!"

Ning Wenxuan, on the other hand, laughed, "What Old Cheng thinks, that’s his business. I, as the hall master, have never said that phrase." He slowly stepped forward, "The hall master only knows the hatred of annihilating my sect, the vengeance for killing my wife! If it weren’t for that dead old man, today, my son would be the young master! Tell me, don’t you deserve to die!"

It turned out to be a case of jealousy!

Su Pan’er’s mind was in turmoil, thinking how she could escape this predicament.

"Repeat that last sentence?"

A sharp and unfamiliar female voice suddenly interrupted.

Following that, rustling footsteps could be heard.

Leaving Su Pan’er feeling an indescribable sensation, wondering who else was lurking in the shadows.
