The Birth Of A Villainess

Chapter 265 - A Game To Survive (1)

Old Patriarch Bai stared at Qu Xing Xu with a gaping mouth. If others were to say these two words, one would definitely laugh at them for being foolish and trying to look cool when they should know that the Bai family was one of the untouchable families in the Capital.

Yet, when these words were spoken by that man standing before them, no one could dare refute his words.

With the light coming from the brazier, Qu Xing Xu's whole person was bathed in a warm yellowish glow, making his black robes even more remarkable and the golden patterns glittered in the light.

Old Patriarch Bai genuinely didn't know what happened in the split of a second. The next thing he knew after Qu Xing Xu said those words, the world he saw tilted diagonally. It was slowly progressing lower and lower and soon, the whole he saw was nothing but the ground beneath his feet and the darkness deep within.

Shrill screams filled with panic and terror soon came after that. They looked at Old patriarch Bai with their fingers pointed at him, seemingly too afraid to even speak of what they were seeing and could only use their bodies to express what they wanted to say.

What Old patriarch Bai didn't know before the darkness consumed his sights was that the world did not tilt nor has gone crazy as it turned.. It was just that, his head was sliced off of his shoulders cleanly that his consciousness didn't leave too soon after it was severed from his body.

Blood spurted, splashing across the room and to the surrounding objects around the chair on the dais, even Qu Xing Xu who had a considerable distance between him and the old man could not avoid some of the blood that splattered on his way.

But thankfully, before his dirty blood could touch his person, Qu Xing Xu already set up an invincible barrier of air that allows the blood from not penetrating further and dirtying his clothes.

"Grandfather!"

"Father!"

"Father!"

The Bai family simultaneously screamed in vain, trying to see if the reality before them was just a monstrous nightmare that they needed to wake up from.

But what was in front of them was not something they could just treat as a dream. It couldn't even pass off as a nightmare because it was so real that they could even smell the metallic scent of blood and death in the air.

"Guards! Where are the guards?!" Bai Shuang turned to the door as he screamed for the guards with his hands raised, "Get that bastard and kill him!"

'Splash!'

Bai Shuang's eyes widened, his blood was gushing like a fountain as his raised arm was severed off from where it connected.

"Ahh!! My hands!" He screamed.

"It's useless to scream for help from anyone." Qu Xing Xu said amidst the chaos he created. He walked forwards, stepping over the severed head of the old patriarch, "No one will come for you…

"What do you mean no one will come?" Bai Yu stared at him incredulously, his face contorted horribly after the gruesome display that played before him. He continued saying, "The Bai residence has two hundreds of guards and soldiers protecting us. How could there be no one?!"

Qu Xing Xu tilted his head amusedly and answered, "Because at this moment, they are also facing their doom, burning as we speak."

Near, far, and everywhere inside the Bai residence, even those family members who stayed outside of the mansion did not escape from Qu Xing Xu's wrath. They screamed for help, for protection, and to be saved from their impending death.

Shadows crawled on the ground, slowly like a snake before it branched out like a sea of fire, eating everything they touched as they walked in their glory. Finally, they were released from their containment.

The guards that the Bai family was so proud of and wasted a lot of  money, thinking they could save them anytime, were now screaming and peeling their skin off as they tried to flay the black smoke and fire that stuck to their bodies.

Even inside the reception hall where most of the Bai family were having a feast just a few moments ago, they could hear the sounds of screams pervaded with dread.

"Help… somebody help us…" Madam Yi couldn't stop the words that escaped her mouth. This wasn't right. This shouldn't be happening to them. They should be feasting while happily waiting for the news of their schemes succeeding.

But who knew that instead of that, they could now see themselves being the subject of this hell.

"Qu… Qu Xing Xu! Spare me, please! I warned my grandfather that he should just give up his ideas of killing your wife, but they didn't listen to me! I was forced to sit here to watch!" While everyone was paralyzed and still couldn't get over their fears and traumatic experience, someone suddenly kneeled before Qu Xing Xu.

Qu Xing Xu looked down on this person. The person who spoke was a young man, around the age of seventeen and looked quite decent. His clothes were sticking to his body because of his sweat and his face was considerably ashen.

"You want me to spare you?" Qu Xing Xu asked. He stopped before the chair on the dair. He reached his hand and pushed the headless body of the old man off the chair, before he sat on top of it.

"Yes! I'll do anything! I'll be your slave!" The young man continued to beg for mercy.

"Bai Yan! How could you selfishly save yourself?" Bai Shuang, who had just recovered slightly from the pain glared at the youth. "You should be protecting everyone and kill that bastard. He won't spare you even if you beg!"

"Is what he said…" Qu Xing Xu chuckled. Leaning forward while seated on the raised chair, Qu Xing Xu swept his eyes on the youth. An idea emerged in his mind and he smilingly said, "But I can change your fate. What about it, young man?"
