Chapter 70 Why

During a fight, opponents always made sure to have a film of qi surrounding their body, and the work of this film is to prevent the opponent's qi from getting into their body.

Treuchi was an experienced fighter and so he had made sure to enforce the location where Seth's palm had hit him with a strong layer of qi, but now he could feel traces of a powerful foreign qi rampaging within his body, and though surprised that Seth's qi had managed to make its way through his defense and penetrate into his body, Treuchi quickly reacted and diverted some of his own qi to expel out the foreign qi within him, but he was shocked to find that the foreign qi easily overcame his own qi and continued spreading calamity within him, and before he knew it, his body was wracked in pain.

This situation forced him to divert every available qi within him to hold back Seth's qi, and this action left him defenseless before any of Seth's follow up attacks, and realizing his precarious situation, Treuchi had planned to surrender to Seth and hopefully negotiate for the life of his family, but now Treuchi could do nothing but watch in shame as his daughter walked up to Seth, unbuttoning the buttons of her shirt as she went.

"Spare my family and I swear to serve you for the rest of my life" Nina negotiated, as she opened up her shirt and exposed a lot of her milky cleavage to Seth.

All her life, Nina had always had her father to protect her, and just as Seth had said, she compared every man she came across to her father and when they fell short of him, she looked down on them, but right now Nina watched as her father, a man she had always thought of as undefeatable be flung away with ease by the Seth, and unable to watch him die, she decided to offer herself to Seth.

Seth stared at the enticing sight she was offering to him but said nothing, and Nina taking his silence to her words as a silent acceptance continued moving towards him, but this time her gait was filled with confidence.

Nina walked up to him and then reached out her hand for his cheek, and gently caressed it, her little sister tingling as she thought about the power which lay dormant within his skin, she then traced a finger down his face and to his chest, wanting to lean into him when she suddenly blacked out.

Seconds later when Nina came to, she felt a horrible sting on her chest as blood flowed out of her nose and mouth, and then her mind registered the feeling that she was lying on a body.

Straining her neck, Nina looked behind her only to find herself lying on her unconscious brother who was now plastered on the deformed bonnet of the farm truck.

Regaining herself, Nina looked up and seeing the way Seth's outstretched palm slowly retreating, she realized she had been slapped away by him using the back of his palm, and though her brother tried to catch her, he had failed and they had both been thrown into the truck, and then she heard him speak.

"Who do you think you are to believe your body can be traded for a life I want" Seth calmly asked her with a raised eyebrow.

Nina had always been doted upon, and when she had given up herself to Seth, she had believed it was a great sacrifice, but now hearing Seth's words almost sent her into a fit of rage but then she saw the look in his eyes as he stared at her, it was like he was looking at a stupid clown.

Seth looked away from the foolish girl that actually dared to be arrogant with him and looked at her father who was barely able to stand up.

Death hadn't been a pleasing experience for Seth considering all that he lost, and his original plan had been to kill the man and get on his way, but then watching the man barely stand on his feet and being easy picking for him, he decided that Treuchi would be a good candidate for an experiment.

Long ago Rose had attempted to make him a noble vampire, but in the end, he had turned into something else, Seth had no idea what he currently was, but he was curious to know what would happen to someone he tried to transform.

With a smile on his face, Seth ate the remaining candy in his hand as he casually swaggered up to the old man who was barely keeping himself standing.

As Seth stood beside the old man who was heavily breathing, Seth was quite impressed with the raw strength present in his qi, he had expected some more resistance from Treuchi, but even as he stood within striking distance from the old man, he could see that he was barely keeping himself up.

Shaking his head at the pitiful state this powerful Kaiser cultivator now found himself in, Seth moved on to carry out his experiment.

"Now how did Rose do it," Seth said, as he rubbed his chin, ignoring Treuchi as he rubbed his head in thought.

Rose had bitten him on his neck to transform him, but looking at Treuchi up and down, Seth had no interest in biting this old man, not to talk of the probability that he might have to suck on his neck to get his blood, the thought of carrying out such actions didn't sit well with him.

Trecuhi watched Seth look him up and down like there was something about him that needed to be solved, right now Treuchi was almost done with purging the foreign qi, but he knew he couldn't waste any more time and miss the opportunity before him, and thinking of his family, he strengthened his will and poured all his qi into his muscles and bones and punched both his hands at Seth, a sharp cry of spiraling wind blades appearing around both his hands which rapidly moved towards Seth's chest.

Treuchi had decided to leave the foreign qi within him unchecked and put every last qi within him into this attack, he was going to sacrifice himself to kill Seth, and even though his current almost nonexistent control over his qi reduced the attack's power by almost a half, he had confidence that an attack at such close proximity coupled with Seth's lax stance was nothing but a sure hit, but unknown to Treuchi, the Seth he was currently fighting was very different from the young man he had easily beaten the last time.

With his current agility, Seth knew he could move his hands and defend against the attack, but such a thought sounded boring to him, he felt his mind and body beg for a thrill, and with arrogance filling his mind, Seth let the attack hit.

Treuchi's punch connected with Seth, drawing out a shower of blood from his chest as Seth was sent flying backward and crashing into the almost dark forest behind them.

Other than the sound of Seth's body crashing into trees and digging into the ground, silence descended on the area with only Treuchi's heavy breathing sounding out.

"Father" a worried and terrified voice called out as Nina rushed up to her father, she couldn't hold back the tears from falling down her eyes when she saw the mangled state of his hands, a result of overloading and losing control of the qi in his hands.

"How is your brother," Treuchi said with blood flowing down his lips as he stood up, and with Nina's help began limping towards his still unconscious stepson.

Before Nina could reply, the unconscious man began trembling a little and by the time they arrived at his side, his eyes were already open and he was staring at them.

"Old man, what's happening? Where is he?" the now awakened man said as he began looking left and right.

"Don't worry about him, I attacked his heart, he's dead now" Treuchi said with a smile, but there was no happiness within the rest of the family despite surviving this calamity, instead they were hurdled around the now collapsed Treuchi who's body occasionally spasmed as he coughed blood, sadness in their eyes as they watched their father slowly die while being unable to do a thing, but then the heard a voice speak,

"Seriously old man, just an attack to my chest, I would have expected a lot more thoroughness from you given how the other lady failed to kill me using this same method".

Hearing this voice, horror-filled Treuchi's dying eyes, as he realized that his desperation to kill Seth had clouded his mind against the possibility that Seth would survive such a close range sure kill attack.

Not wasting a second, Treuchi pushed away both his children from his side, and the next second, Seth appeared beside him, his stepson had been successfully pushed away, but Nina remained beside him, Seth's hand firmly gripping her neck while his right hand rested in Treuchi's chest, just where his heart should be.

A look at Seth's revealed two red areas stained with blood on his chest, but to the despair of both daughter and dying father, it was just a minor injury that showed his flesh but was far from life threatening.

Though his attack had pierced into his chest, it hadn't reached Seth's heart, facing obstruction from his ridiculously tough skin and potent qi defense in that area.

"pl.. plea..se" Treuchi tried begging, not for his life, but for his children.

Seth looked at the Old man's pleading eyes and then turned to the terrified lady who couldn't move a muscle under the heavy aura he was releasing.

Seth traced his hand down her neck till it came to her left boob and he grabbed a handful of it,

"These are really nice, I wonder how they'll taste like if they're sucked ehh old man," Seth said, and then without warning, his hand punched through Nina's left chest till it came out the back, he watched the look of shock in her eyes as she died her eyes closing within seconds and her last breath going with it.

"..why.." Treuchi barely wheezed out as tears spilled out of his eyes, and then they closed forever.
