Chapter 1441: Just A Single Sword
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Wu Bufan, died.
Wu Bufan and Wu Tianjiao, this father and son duo, who wanted to use Qin Wentian as their stepping stone, made the most foolish decision in their lives, paying their lives as the price.
Wanting to use Qin Wentian's life to please the people from the Snowdrift Sage Hall? But how many lives here could be of equivalent value to Qin Wentian? The Skymist Immortal Empire, the Paragon Sword Sect, the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, the White Tiger Race, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and the Violet Emperor. There are so many terrifying characters who wanted Qin Wentian's life. To kill him, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor paid an astronomical price, even submitting to Old Devil Duotian. Who were these minor characters in comparison?
What's ridiculous is that the father and son duo actually thought to use Qin Wentian's life just to please the Snowdrift Sage Hall.
"A single strike."
The hearts of everyone started to pound wildly, causing great waves of shock to arise as they stared at the magnificent figure floating in the air. At this moment, everyone understood that the Snowdrift Sage Hall and the City Lord Manor had antagonized an extraordinary person. How foolish was that.
"The City Lord Manor is going to become a huge joke. The holy maiden Mo Xiaoxiao of the Snowdrift Sage Hall is the same as well."
Everyone silently mused. Mo Xiaoxiao said this man was a lecher, heavily injured by her and only survived due to consuming the grand recovery pill. She and Lu Yanxue wanted to use this opportunity to suppress Chu Qingyi, determining Qin Wentian's death with their words. To them, Qin Wentian was just an insignificant being unworthy of a mention, they could do anything they want to him. Nobody would care about his thoughts or opinions, he wouldn't even have the rights to speak.
Hence, Qin Wentian decided to show them clearly, making them understand who he was. That shocking scene appeared, the most insignificant figure in everyone's eyes insta-killed an immortal king who was a personal disciple of an immortal emperor. He even said that he had forgotten the number of disciples of immortal emperors that had died in his hands. So what even if the people he killed were the descendants of the emperors themselves? Also, when facing Lu Yanxue of the Snowdrift Sage Hall, he didn't seem to have any fear at all. It was like he couldn't care less about the Snowdrift Sage Hall behind Lu Yanxue.
Chu Qingyi was so shocked that she couldn't say anything. Her beautiful figure trembled slightly, not daring to believe her eyes. That figure standing arrogantly in the air did bear similarities to the figure she saw before in the sacred academy, similarly exuding magnificence that would span generations, as imposing as ever. However, the him right now was even more domineering, and even more tyrannical. Naturally, his strength had also become even more terrifying than ever.
"Qingyi, Sir Qin he..." Lu Yao's voice was quavering. She also didn't dare to believe what she just saw. That magnificent figure in the air... he had been so gentle and humble when he was in her residence, casually chatting with her about her wishes. Was it really the same person?
Everything seemed to be like a dream.
"His name is Qin Wentian, a disciple from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect located in the eastern regions. It's said that he's the personal disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. He is also the son-in-law of the daughter doted upon most by the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. He and I, we entered the sacred academy together. In there, he defeated Lei Ba, experts of the Sky Paragon Sect, powerful greater demons, feasted on white tiger flesh, and even fought against the strongest genius at the peak of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire Huang Shatian to a draw when his cultivation base was merely at the seventh-level of immortal-foundation. There is no doubt that his strength is unrivalled in the entire sacred academy at the immortal-foundation level."
Chu Qingyi's voice was filled with solemness. She slowly continued, "He isn't lying. For disciples of immortal emperors, back then in the sacred academy, the number of them he killed was so much that it was countless."
Chu Qingyi knew that since this matter has blown up, the Snowdrift Sage Hall would definitely investigate Qin Wentian's identity. Hence, it wasn't a great deal for her to reveal it. By doing so, the Snowdrift Sage Hall might have some reservations and hesitate to deal with Qin Wentian.
When everyone heard her words, they felt their hearts shuddering. What a glorious battle achievement record, tinted with unparalleled arrogance and strength. Such a character was actually treated in this manner when he was in the Lu Clan.
Had everyone in the Lu Clan gone blind?
For a mere grand recovery pill, they wanted to blow up this matter and use the chance to take his life? How ridiculous? Could it be that the value of such a man wasn't even equal to a single grand recovery pill?
The people from Lu Yao's faction had an indescribable feeling. Not too long ago, they were all still mocking Qin Wentian.
"How many years has it been since you left the sacred academy? You entered there the same time as him, within such a short period of time, how can he enter the mid-stage immortal king realm? Chu Qingyi, are you joking around?" Mo Xiaoxiao felt her heart shaking when she heard Chu Qingyi's words. However, she still chose to not believe it. This cannot be real. Qin Wentian was someone who entered the sacred academy with Chu Qingyi, how can a person have such a quick cultivation speed, entering the mid-stage of the immortal king realm so quickly? It was impossible.
Chu Qingyi's eyes flashed, staring at Mo Xiaoxiao. She coldly spoke. "There are some people in this world who are extraordinary right from their birth. They would always cause ordinary people to sigh with envy and admiration, looking up at them. They would always surpass their peers, always at the front of their pack. These people would all become legends of our world, doing things nobody could do. There are also many of these legends whom we call ancient emperors."
"BOOM!" Mo Xiaoxiao's heart pounded violently, she stared in shock at Qin Wentian as she mumbled, "This can't be true, I don't believe it."
The opening of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy was a sign that the era of ancient emperors was coming. Chu Qingyi's words were undoubtedly hinting that Qin Wentian might be the person of destiny. This was why she was so shocked, shaking in disbelief.
The spectators here all felt their hearts pounding violently. To think that Chu Qingyi's rating of this man would be so high. She believed that this man might be a future ancient emperor, as spoken of in the legends.
"You attacking me when I fell into the Coldnether Lake could be understood as a mistake. I can choose to not pursue that. But after that, you insulted me numerous times, and in order to suppress Chu Qingyi, you implicated me, even wanting my life to wound Chu Qingyi's dao heart. Although you are a holy maiden of the Snowdrift Sage Sect, your actions have completely ruined your sect's reputation. Tell me, do you think you deserve death?!" Qin Wentian shouted at Mo Xiaoxiao. Mo Xiaoxiao trembled violently, she was actually forced back several steps from the intensity of that shout.
Before this, she was so proud before Qin Wentian. But now, she understood that in Qin Wentian's eyes, she was nothing but a speck of dust. She was an immortal-foundation character, but he was a mid-stage immortal king. She was an ordinary holy maiden, but Qin Wentian's talent was so outstanding that even Chu Qingyi's talent paled in comparison. What did she have that could compete with him?
Regardless of strength, status, identity, she was all inferior to Qin Wentian. However, she still intentionally insulted and provoked him numerous times, wanting to kill him. Now, Qin Wentian asked her if she deserved death?
Lu Yanxue's countenance was also extremely unsightly. Right now, she understood that even with her status, she was still inferior to Qin Wentian. Behind him, there were two supreme major powers supporting him. Also, his status in the eyes of the two powers, far exceeded her status in the Snowdrift Sage Hall.
But now, Lu Yanxue was on the back of a mounted tiger, it wasn't so easy to get down. She stared at Qin Wentian and spoke, "To think that you have an extraordinary status. Mhm, how about we sit down and calmly discuss this matter?"
"Are you joking with me?" Qin Wentian turned his eyes to Lu Yanxue. He then coldly spoke, "What is there to talk about?"
"Even if you are an extraordinary individual, this place is after all, the territory of my Snowdrift Sage Hall. You won't be able to obtain any benefits and might even suffer if you continue to act so domineeringly." Lu Yanxue stared at Qin Wentian. An extremely cold aura gushed forth from her, wanting to intimidate Qin Wentian.
"Chu Qingyi, I originally wanted to give some face to the Snowdrift Sage Hall for your sake. However, these people still have such an attitude even at this moment. In that case, you can report back to your sect that the lives of these two will be taken by me today. If your sect wants revenge, I, Qin Wentian, will not shrink back. But if your sect cannot be bothered with this matter, I can take it that the things that happened today, never happened before."
As the sound of Qin Wentian's voice faded, a third eye in the center of his brows opened. In an instant, the Evil Eye Law Domain descended, directly enveloping Lu Yanxue and Mo Xiaoxiao. The coldnether energy from Lu Yanxue froze everything, staving off the effects of the domain. However, Mo Xiaoxiao wasn't so lucky, instantly coughing out several mouthfuls of blood as she became heavily injured. When the law domain appeared, everything in that space crumbled. She was just a mere immortal-foundation character. How could she resist this?
"How dare you!" Lu Yanxue took a step forward, moving to the front of Mo Xiaoxiao.
"Can you obstruct me if I want to kill her?" Qin Wentian's voice rang out. Powerful destructive might swept through the terrifying Evil Eye Domain. Mo Xiaoxiao screamed in agony as her body was engulfed by a vortex of destruction.
"RUMBLE!" At this moment, City Lord Lu stepped out, exuding a fearsome aura at the peak-stage of the immortal king realm.
"Do you want me to slaughter your entire manor?" Qin Wentian swept his gaze over, coldly staring at City Lord Lu. He took another step forward as the Divine Elephant Law Domain manifested. A suffocating and overwhelming suppressive might bore down on everything.
At this moment, City Lord Lu actually hesitated. He, who was a peak-stage immortal king, actually felt fear when facing Qin Wentian, a mid-stage immortal king opponent.
Qin Wentian was too terrifying. His aura, his gaze, they held an unquestionable imperious authority. It was like as long as he wanted something, nobody would be able to block him. If he really acted, every life in this manor here today would be buried together with Mo Xiaoxiao and Lu Yanxue.
"BANG!"
Lu Yanxue screamed, the power of her coldnether energy engulfed everything, turning her surroundings into ice. The crowd shivered from the coldness. Her long hair fluttered in the wind and with a roar of anger, she shook free of the law domain's effects as she rushed Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian turned his gaze to her. Activating God's Hand, the law energy transformed into the shape of a sword. As Lu Yanxue rushed over, his silhouette flashed, moving with the speed of a great roc, rushing to meet her.
"KILL!" Lu Yanxue stabbed out with a finger attack. The concentration of the coldnether energy reached a critical point as she stabbed towards Qin Wentian, wanting to freeze him solid.
But at this moment, that blurry figure that was Qin Wentian, slashed out with a single sword strike.
The Nightmare Sword Art, with the first sword strike, Lu Yanxue felt her consciousness entered a daze-like state. She had no way to sense or see the attack. From her perspective, her coldnether energy froze this entire world solid and she was the hegemon of this ice world.
But at this moment, the ice world she was the hegemon of, was slashed apart by that sword.
"No!" Lu Yanxue screamed in terror. That sword strike actually brought her into a world of nightmares.
The sword continued forward with preternatural speed, slashing into her body.
The arrogant and unexcelled Lu Yanxue died in a single strike.
Even now, the City Lord was still hesitating, staring at everything in shock. His expression was like dead ashes. Closing his eyes, he felt his heart trembling violently.
There was actually such an unrivalled genius in this world. With him here, how would there be space for other geniuses? He was the ruler of this world, able to decide everything and was staring with disdain at everyone beneath him.
At this moment, the City Lord seemed to age visibly. That hesitation caused his dao heart to suffer damage. From now onwards, it would be hard for him to progress any further in his cultivation!
