<h4>Chapter 595: Terminus of Terror (3)</h4>


    Not a single person other than Ryu Changmin could sense anything amiss with Qin Ye. That said, the truth of the matter was that even speaking alone took almost every bit of energy and strength that Qin Ye could muster.


    These injuries are terrible… In fact, they’re probably far worse than back then at the Strait of Tsushima. I’m afraid that several of my internal organs are already bleeding… is this… the price of holding out for another three minutes?


    “Lord Qin… Can… can you still hold on?” Ryu Changmin could sense something amiss with Qin Ye. After all, he knew that Qin Ye had mobilized his Dusk Legionnaire again earlier in order to fend off Liu Yu’s killer technique.


    “Three minutes are up.” Rumyantsev was just about to go on when a scarlet me lit up in between his eyes. He paused for a moment, and then hurriedly crushed the scarlet me with his hands.


    “The dean is dead…” Rumyantsev’s bones rattled softly, and he murmured softly with a grave expression in his eyes, “They’re… approaching Choi Tae-min’’s coffin…”


    Two secondster, both men turned around and rushed frantically towards the swirling vortex in the distance.


    His hands trembled wildly, so much so that even his veins began to bulge on his skin.


    Shut your trap! Shut your damn trap!!!


    Everything fell silent. Both Liu Yu and Rumyantsev could still recall how terrifying Fate’s earlier attack had been. If they were struck cleanly across their bodies without any form of defensive measures whatsoever…


    Rumyantsev gnashed his teeth as he fervently suppressed the urge to give Liu Yu a tight p across the face, “And what are you going to do?!!”


    “A mere Earl dares to order a Marquis about?!”


    No response.


    “I said no?”


    These words seemed to be the final straw that broke the camel’s back. The difficulties in their operations here in Daehan, the Tsar’s strict orders, and the threat of Fate… Rumyantsev’s eyes flickered wildly, and he revealed a menacing chortle, “Then, you leave me with no choice but to take your life.”


    Prefect-ss Yin energy erupted in full force!


    Since he’d decided to go down the path of no return, then there was simply no point in pulling any punches any longer!


    It was still Rumyantsev, but his entire body was covered with bones from top to toe. There were even bone spurs protruding from each of these bones like vicious barbs. Meanwhile, his cloak drifted up softly with thehergale, revealing countless scarlet eyes hidden beneath in the shadows. Rumyantsev tightened his grip around the cross-hilted sword in his hand and finally unsheathed it!


    Faced with the risk of another devastating blow from Fate, Rumyantsev had decided to go all out against Qin Ye!


    The abilities of an Abyssal Prefect were clearly on a whole other level. Rumyantsev could easily squash him to death!


    Fast.


    Palpable murderous intent filled the air. Rumyantsev didn’t show any signs of holding back at all. He moved well beyond the speed of sound, so much so that it didn’t even generate any sonic booms. In fact, he moved so quickly that it was even impossible to follow his movements with the human eye. A split secondter, there was a startling bang, and Qin Ye found himself knocked tens of meters away into the distance!


    30 seconds…


    Crack, crack… A couple of Qin Ye’s ribs fractured as a result of the overwhelming impact of the blow. However, he still fought through the pain and stood up valiantly. The notion of turning tail and escaping didn’t even cross his mind.


    When one’s opponent called the bluff and decided to go all out, a simple threat would never be able to guarantee one’s survival.


    “I’ve given you a chance.” Rumyantsev nced up at the pitch-ck skies as dense Yin energy poured right out of his body. Even Liu Yu couldn’t help but retreat until there was a berth of at least a hundred meters between himself and Rumyantsev.


    And it was still going down!


    With an explosive roar, the Yin energy in the surroundings immediately copsed onto the sword, forming an intense de of darkness. A split secondter, it cleaved down mercilessly, sundering the heavens and seas alike. Qin Ye drew a deep breath and shut his eyes.


    His consciousness went nk. So did his auditory and visual senses.


    “Sigh…” Rumyantsev heaved a long sigh and sheathed his sword. Then, just as he was about to turn back and link up with Liu Yu once more, he suddenly paused and stared agape in the distance.


    He’s actually still standing?!


    To think that a mere Infernal Judge was able to receive two mighty blows from an Abyssal Prefect and still remain standing!


    “My Lord…” Ryu Changmin choked up slightly. Only he was aware of just how beat up Qin Ye’s body was right now.


    “Lord Qin! Why are you still hanging on?!” Ryu Changmin’s voice was growing shrill, “You’ll die at this rate! The domain of the Spirit of Avernus doesn’t render you impervious to all attacks! Your opponent is just far too strong!”


    Ryu Changmin grew taciturn.


    “This is why I always ask… what’s so good about being the King Yanluo of Hell?”


    Copious amounts of Yin energy was once again rising from the ground and pouring into Rumyantsev’s sword once more like the dance of a thunder of ck dragons. As the Yin energy grew denser and denser, the sword slowly turned ck, before a scarlet eye suddenly opened on the hilt of the sword.


    “Be honored to have heard its name.”


    This time, it was a pure, unadulterated attack.


    Everything happened in the blink of an eye, well beyond the speed of sound. Qin Ye’s mind went numb at once, and he called upon Ryu Changmin’s abilities without any hesitation at all.


    However… the attack didn’t stop!


    Rumyantsev was actually able to breach the absolute domain!


    The attack bore down on him at once. However, Qin Ye slowly raised his head, “There’s still 10 seconds of time - a second for each meter.”


    Ryu Changmin’s lips trembled wildly - How in the world did I end up with such a crazy master?!


    “Have you heard anything from them?”


    “Sigh.. We’ve done all we could. Let’s leave everything to destiny.” Qin Ye sighed and turned back to retreat.


    What a pity…


    What a pity that the heart is willing, but the flesh is weak.


    Just then, Qin Ye suddenly turned back and stared at Ryu Changmin in consternation, “You…”


    Rumyantsev’s sword had already prated more than half of the absolute domain. Yin energy roiled everywhere, while the billowing shockwaves generated by the devastating attack caused his hair to fly everywhere.


    Time seemed to freeze in that instant.


    A split secondter, he threw his head back andughed uproariously, but the only thing that came out was the mouthfuls of blood that he had so fervently repressed earlier.


    There was no longer a need to put up with his pretenses.


    One second.


    I’m the one who has thestugh!


    With the removal of the 10-meter absolute domain, the Thorn of the Rose Queen struck the ground in an instant, causing a terrifying explosion that swept Yin energy everywhere across the entire Gyeonggi Province!
