Chapter 418 The Death of Qin Keqing (The End)

"Shut up! Did you use your brain to try and gain favor with others?"

The four of them struggled and finally made it to Tianxiang Tower.

Good news! The various magical artifacts of Tianxiang Tower can indeed withstand a period of attacks from ghosts and monsters.

The bad news is that not all the ghosts and monsters have revealed their true forms. They still have reason and know to break in in human form to breach the defenses of Tianxiang Tower!

"No, why is the Jia family acting so cleverly now?"

Yinzhi, who was wielding the "Vajra Pestle" placed in Tianxiang Tower with great power, was so surprised that he almost lost his grip on the weapon when faced with the Jia family members who rushed in and broke through the defenses.

"Yes, the Jia family members are all smarter than you."

Yinreng and Yinzhi shielded Yinzuo behind them, facing the Jia family members rushing in from the left and right. Even in this critical situation, Yinreng continued to mock Yinzhi.

"Where am I not smart?"

While kicking the attacker out of Tianxiang Tower, Yinzhi retorted.

When Yinzhi knocked someone down, Yinzuo would finish them off to make sure no one could get back up.

“They’re not smart anywhere,” Yin Zhi commented coolly. “What’s the difference between kicking them out and not hitting them at all? Are you waiting for them to turn into monsters?”

"Yes."

Upon realizing what was happening, Yinzhi paused in his swinging motion, changed his push to a chop, and knocked one unconscious with a single blow. His movements were swift and decisive; despite being a brute, he was still quite capable in combat.

Yinzhuo tried his best to remain calm, not wanting to hold his three older brothers back. But when he caught a glimpse of a figure flying in through the back window, he swallowed hard and spoke in a trembling voice, "There's more bad news..."

"What?"

"Qin Keqing has also arrived."

"What!"

Yinzhi knocked down another person, then turned to look at Qin Keqing, who was flying in through the back window, and his expression turned very ugly.

"Can Tianxiang Tower stop them?"

"It was possible last night, but it's dangerous today."

Yinreng made a rational judgment, after all, Qin Keqing looked much more resentful today than she did yesterday.

Good news! Qin Keqing's indiscriminate attack means even the ghosts and monsters outside can't escape.

Bad news: Qin Keqing is attacking indiscriminately, and they won't be able to escape either.

To make matters worse, instead of fleeing, the Jia family dismantled the defenses of Tianxiang Tower, and under attack from three sides, Tianxiang Tower quickly lost its protective function.

"No, we were just praising them for being smart, and now they're using their intelligence to destroy houses?"

The four narrowly escaped from the ruins of Tianxiang Tower, and a disheveled and dirty Yinzhi ran while complaining.

"careful!"

Yinzhi tackled Yinzhi, thus avoiding Qin Keqing's attack with her hair.

Yinzhi reacted quickly, rolling over with Yinzhi in his arms to get out of the attack range, then scooped him up and kept running, saying, "Thanks."

"If you say less, that's the greatest thank you you can give."

Yin Zhi answered breathlessly, complaining, but he and Yin Zhi cooperated very well, knocking away the monsters blocking their way from the left and right, using magical artifacts taken from Tianxiang Tower.

This is the only truly good news so far.

Since Yinzhuo was not skilled in martial arts, Yinzhi gave him the mask that allowed him to pretend to be a ghost. When Yinzhuo put it on, his presence became much less noticeable, and he avoided most of the ghosts' attacks.

Yinreng led him as they ran, and then used the defensive talismans that Yinzuo had exchanged for with points. Although the two of them were weaker overall than Yinzhi and Yinzhi, they were also less attacked.

As Qin Keqing ran wildly, her pace was slowed down by chasing other ghosts and monsters. However, due to her indiscriminate attacks, the number of monsters chasing them gradually decreased.

Finally, the four of them ran to a secluded courtyard, dealt with all the monsters that were following them, and had time to stop and catch their breath.

"Huff, huff... No, why?"

Yinzhi stood with his hands on his hips, panting heavily, but he still couldn't understand how they had entered battle royale mode.

"I thought you were already used to it, brother?"

Upon hearing Yin Zhi's words, Yin Zhi realized that he had spoken his mind.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it and continued to ask, "It was triggered before, which is why I don't understand. I made mistakes by accident before, and I didn't do anything this time."

"Yes, you didn't do it accidentally, you did it on purpose."

Yinreng searched around for a while, then came back and rolled his eyes at Yinzhi in annoyance.

"What did I do on purpose?" Before Yinreng could answer, Yinzhen asked suspiciously, "Did you submit the truth?"

"Otherwise what?"

"No, why? I followed the instructions, what's the problem?"

Yinzhi was displeased, but Yinzhi shook his head and explained, "Brother, why do you think surviving for three days is the basic requirement for passing the level?"

Before he could answer, Yinzhi looked directly at Yinzuo and said, "Sixth brother, tell eldest brother."

That's right, I believe Yinzhuo is smart, but I absolutely do not believe Yinzhi has any brains.

Yinzhuo's face was still a little pale. He swallowed and explained softly, "Because revealing the truth is dangerous. Qin Keqing will be angry, and the Jia family will be furious."

Upon hearing Yinzhuo's words, Yinzhi understood: "Just like Yinzhen and Consort De, and Imperial Noble Consort and the Tongjia clan."

"Brother, you're good at describing things."

Yin Zhi was shocked by Yin Zhi's ability to make analogies. It was a good thing that the fourth prince wasn't around... No problem, he would tell the fourth prince when they got out.

Oh, Yinzhuo is here.

Both Yinreng and Yinzhi couldn't help but look at Yinzuo.

Yinzhuo seemed to understand, but he roughly understood that it meant his fourth brother and mother had a bad relationship... However, even as a son, he couldn't say that his mother was right.

Moreover, it wasn't just his fourth brother and mother; ever since his mother became pregnant again, his "wild-hearted" second son seemed to have followed in his fourth brother's footsteps.

Not offering an opinion is the greatest act of filial piety he can show.

Yinzhu remained silent, but Yinzhi suddenly realized the inappropriateness of his words and looked at Yinzhu somewhat embarrassedly. However, he couldn't say it directly. Looking at the light screen above his eyes, he had a sudden idea and said, "Haha...we can get out in 3 more minutes."

"Brother, please don't say such things."

"That's strange, why do I feel like I've said that before?"

Yin Zhi and Yin Zhi's words overlapped, and before the ominous premonition could even arise, it became a reality.

The black hair burst through the door, knocking the four people to the ground.

Only now, watching the magical artifacts and talismans vanish in an instant, did they realize that all their defensive measures were utterly ineffective against the completely berserk Qin Keqing.

Previously, Qin Keqing's attention had been drawn to other enemies, but now... looking at Qin Keqing's hair and her clothes that were so red they were almost black, the four of them understood that it was their turn.

"Pfft, cough cough..."

Yinreng and the other two coughed up blood and were tightly bound by their hair. Perhaps because of the ghost mask, Yinzuo suffered the least damage and still had the strength to move.

But before he could get close to his three brothers, the moment the mask shattered, he too was bound by his hair.

Bloodstains appeared, and the four men's faces turned purple. Glancing at the countdown on the screen, Yinreng managed to say with difficulty, "Hold on..."

[10, 9, 8...]

Every second felt like an eternity. It was clear they wouldn't live to see the countdown end. Yinzhi and Yinzuo were already losing consciousness, and Yinreng would be next.

Yinzhi, his eyes blazing with fury, struggled desperately, watching as the three of them lowered their heads one after another, seemingly lifeless. With red eyes, he struggled to plead for help: "Lin...Daiyu..."

A sigh of regret rang in his ears, followed by a soft, melodious female voice: "Sister Keqing."

At that moment, Yinzhi keenly sensed that the hair binding them had loosened. He immediately struggled free and, a second before the countdown ended, pounced on Yinreng beside him: "Second Prince, don't die!"
