Chapter 212 Reversal

This was an extremely difficult battle, and Zhong Min knew it from the beginning. However, no matter what, he had to watch Qin Ke fight to the death without being able to help at all. This feeling was extremely uncomfortable.

But she also knew that if she ignored Xiaoliu's advice and rushed forward again, not only would she not be able to help Qin Ke at all, but it would distract him and hold him back. So she could only try her best to control her emotions and stare at him without blinking, hoping that there would be a turnaround and that Qin Ke could successfully defeat Nian Bu Yue.

However, sometimes, the truth is really cruel. Qin Ke's martial arts skills are indeed unparalleled, but it seems that he is still a little behind that year. Perhaps, as Qin Ke himself said, they could have been evenly matched in the past, but now...

The situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to Qin Ke. Zhong Min could see, even without Xiao Liu's explanation, that Qin Ke was being pressed harder and harder. Even when he occasionally fought back, he couldn't inflict any substantial damage on Nian Buyue. Meanwhile, Nian Buyue's attacks were becoming increasingly lethal. Although Qin Ke was holding on, he had already suffered considerable internal injuries.

"Qin Ke, didn't you say that Master taught you a unique skill? Why haven't you used it yet? I think you're just bragging. How could Master have any unique skills to teach you alone? Even though I was kicked out of the sect, I am still Master's most proud disciple. If even I can't use it, then you can't say that there are any other unique skills."

Nian Buyue laughed arrogantly and thrust a sword straight at Qin Ke's chest. The sword was fast and fierce, and it carried an indescribable suction force. Qin Ke's body seemed to be restrained by something, and he did not react for a long time. Seeing this, Zhong Min was so anxious that even his voice became mute in an instant, and he could not even utter a word of caution.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Qin Ke shook his body violently and got rid of the suction, but he was still a little slow. As he turned sideways, the sword in Nian Buyue's hand had already brushed against his clothes, and a long sword wound instantly appeared on his chest, and blood oozed out bit by bit.

Zhong Min's heart was about to jump out of his chest. He subconsciously tried to push Xiaoliu away and move forward, but it was in vain.

Qin Ke, on the other hand, showed no sign of panic, as if he wasn't the one who was hurt. He smiled and said, "The best is yet to come, why are you so anxious?"

"Since you don't want to die, I'll grant your wish today!" Nian Buyue said with a cold face, "I don't have time to play with you anymore. Let me give you a ride now!"

After saying this, a cloud of sword light suddenly descended from the sky. Zhong Min felt dizzy and almost vomited. Xiao Liu, upon seeing this, immediately used his internal energy to protect Zhong Min, preventing her from being harmed by his internal energy. Despite this, she had no choice but to close her eyes, reach out to support Xiao Liu, and try her best to calm herself down before she could stand.

After a while, she was able to open her eyes with difficulty, but the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Nian Buyue slapping Qin Ke mercilessly with a palm. The palm was so powerful that Qin Ke was thrown out like a kite with a broken string, almost in front of them.

"Brother Qin!" Zhong Min couldn't bear it anymore. She pushed Xiaoliu away and rushed forward to hug Qin Ke, who fell to the ground and spitted blood. Tears flowed down her face uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Xiao Liu and several other secret guards were about to step forward to deal with Nian Buyue, but they were stopped by Qin Ke after taking a few steps forward.

"Back off, you're no match for him!" Qin Ke said to Xiao Liu, enduring the pain on his body, "Just do what you should do!"

"But Mr. Qin, we..." Xiao Liu looked reluctant. If they didn't take action at this moment, Qin Ke would only die if he continued to fight like this.

"Obey orders!" Qin Ke said as he stood up. He then turned to Zhong Min, who was crying loudly beside him, and said, "Don't cry, I'm fine."

He touched her cheek and wiped away the tears. Seeing her crying for him, he felt that he had no regrets even if he died.

Seeing this scene, Nian Buyue laughed disdainfully and said sarcastically, "Qin Ke, Qin Ke, I didn't expect you to be such a sentimental person. It's a pity that you met me today, otherwise this heroic and fearless performance would be enough to move anyone."

"Girl, you know what? This guy didn't even want to live for you." Nian Buyue turned to Zhong Min and said, "His internal organs are seriously injured now. If he continues to fight me, he will only die. Do you want to watch him die for you?"

"Nian Buyue, stop talking nonsense here. I haven't lost yet!" Qin Ke quickly interrupted Nian Buyue: "I was only hit by your palm. I won't die for the time being!"

But before he could finish his words, he suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood, almost fell down, and sat on the ground again.

"Brother Qin!" Zhong Min was extremely anxious. She squatted down and hugged him, crying, "Brother Qin, let's not fight anymore, let's not fight anymore!"

"Silly girl, I'm really fine. I'm just a little tired. I'll be fine after a rest." Qin Ke's voice was weak, but he still had no intention of giving up. Instead, he smiled and comforted Zhong Min.

Seeing Qin Ke like this, Zhong Min's heart almost broke. She shook her head desperately and retorted, "No, I don't allow you to fight him again. Don't think I don't know anything. You are injured like this, there is no way you can beat him. If you keep fighting, you will die!"

"Even if I die, I won't let him take you away!" Qin Ke was extremely stubborn. He smiled and said to Zhong Min, "Don't worry. I told you, I still have a trick up my sleeve. I will definitely defeat him."

"Don't be silly. You're even giving up your own life for me. Is it worth it?" Zhong Min cried even harder. At this moment, she didn't want to consider anything else. She just didn't want Qin Ke to die. "I don't want you to die. I want you to live well. Let's stop fighting. Stop fighting!"

"It's worth it, for you, everything is worth it!" Qin Ke would never admit defeat. If he lost, it would mean that Zhong Min would be taken away by Nian Buyue, so even if he had to risk everything, he would protect him.

As he spoke, he forced himself to stand up. He hadn't even made the final move yet, so how could he lose?

"Not worth it, not worth it, not worth it!" But Zhong Min held him tightly, not letting him get up again. She yelled three times in a row, no longer hesitating: "Brother Qin, you don't have to die for me. I'm not your Jin'er at all. I'm not Li Jin'er, do you know? I'm not Li Jin'er! No!"

"Silly girl, I know you are Zhong Min now." But Qin Ke seemed to have misunderstood Zhong Min's meaning. He touched Zhong Min's head lovingly, then stood up in a huff and handed Zhong Min to Xiao Liu beside him: "Take good care of her!"

Seeing this, Zhong Min knew that Qin Ke did not understand what she meant, so she reached out to hold him back and prevent him from going forward to fight with Nian Buyue. However, Qin Ke moved very quickly, and her hand did not even touch his side, but he had already quickly flashed out and started fighting with Nian Buyue.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting!" Zhong Min shouted loudly, but her voice was ruthlessly drowned out by the ruthless fight. At that moment, she felt indescribably heartbroken, and suddenly realized that Qin Ke might leave her like this.

He was so young, so kind, yet he had to die for someone completely unrelated to him. The fear deep within her heart surged over her again, so intense it was indescribable. She finally understood what her premonition meant. But now, she could do nothing but watch helplessly as the man who should have been living his own life, blindly ruined his life for her.

The tears never stopped, and at this moment, there was a voice deep in her heart crying madly. She suddenly felt that she could not breathe and the pain was indescribable. She knew that the soul deep in her heart might be the real Li Jiner.

Is Li Jin'er crying? Is she sad? Is she feeling distressed because of Qin Ke's current situation?

"Girl, girl, are you okay?" Xiao Liu immediately noticed Zhong Min's abnormality. He hurriedly supported her and asked worriedly, while the other secret guards also guarded more carefully, not knowing what was going on.

Zhong Min shook her head and took a few deep breaths. The inexplicable, intense heartbreak she'd felt earlier gradually subsided, but she felt no less distressed. Qin Ke seemed to be growing weaker, his once-strong body now looking as if it could collapse at any moment. She knew there was no way she could stop him now. With Qin Ke's personality, there was no way he'd give up, no way he'd let Nian Buyue take her away.

She stood there blankly, staring at everything in front of her, feeling so powerless and full of regret. If she hadn't been so selfish, if she had told Qin Ke the truth earlier, then perhaps everything would have been completely different, and Qin Ke wouldn't have been so foolish as to risk his own life for an unrelated person.

"Girl, look, look, it seems that Hero Qin has suddenly gained the upper hand!" Xiao Liu was suddenly very excited and said to Zhong Min, "It seems that Hero Qin really has a trick up his sleeve. I'm afraid Nian Buyue is in trouble now!"

When Zhong Min heard this, he came back to his senses immediately and looked over there excitedly. What Xiao Liu said was indeed true. At this moment, Qin Ke suddenly seemed like a different person and became much more powerful. Nian Buyue was obviously very surprised and was defeated repeatedly without being able to fight back.

"Boy, what's that trick of yours?" Nian Buyue was shocked. He never expected that Qin Ke, who was about to be beaten to death by him, would suddenly become so strong.

"I told you, my master also taught me a special trick, but you just don't believe it!" Qin Ke said as he swung his sword, as if summoning the power of heaven and earth. In an instant, his internal strength increased greatly, and he stabbed towards Nian Buyue like lightning.

Before he could see clearly, and before Nian Buyue could even make a sound, he heard a bang, and the middle-aged man in his forties suddenly fell straight down, without even moving, and never got up again.
