Chapter 1111: Beauty like that of a Portrait
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
"Skymist Zhu."
Skymist Jiang called a name out. A young man then appeared before him. This man had very fine brows and extremely sharp eyes, and he was radiating an aura akin to a supremely sharp sword.
"Go on up." Skymist Jiang commanded. Skymist Zhu stepped up on the battle platform and stood before Qin Wentian.
"Do your best during this spar, life and death will be determined by one's own abilities." Skymist Jiang spoke again. Right now, he no longer concealed his enmity. Everyone present knew that Skymist Jiang wanted to kill Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's existence spoiled Skymist Jiang's plans completely. If there was no Qin Wentian, he would have already made the juniors of the Evergreen Immortal Empire die right here in their imperial palace, giving them a deep lesson and continue diminishing the prestige of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
However, the appearance of Qin Wentian caused the situation to be reversed, the prestige of their Skymist Immortal Empire was being diminished instead. This was something Skymist Jiang couldn't tolerate. Also, since he crippled the immortal foundations of some juniors from the Skymist royalty, this was already sufficient to mark him for death.
"Please guide me." Qin Wentian stood with his hands clasped behind his back, speaking as he stared at Skymist Zhu. Skymist Zhu's aura erupted forth as a faint shadow of a divine elephant appeared behind his back. For core members of the Skymist Immortal Empire, it seemed that many of them established their immortal foundations in the form of the divine elephant.
His divine elephant immortal foundation manifested, shining with a terrible light. Fearsome waves of immortal might gushed forth, causing the sky to change color as it transformed into a starry space. Right now, the sky was painted with streaks of red, like the atmosphere of a fiery hell. Numerous silhouettes of divine elephants walked out from that blazing hell, radiating a horrifying heat and containing an immense might.
Everyone inclined their heads to stare up at the sky. What a fearsome hell demon elephant this was, the might exuding from it was incredible. This Skymist Zu's immortal foundation most probably was a king-graded one. Seeing the purity and resplendence of light radiating from it, everyone could tell that its attacking power was bound to be extremely great.
Qin Wentian's aura also gushed forth. A corona of light surrounded him as his own immortal foundation began to radiate light. It manifested a form after some transformation, resembling that of a divine elephant as well.
"BOOM!" Skymist Zhu stepped out. A moment later, the silhouettes of divine elephants all lunged towards Qin Wentian. However, a humming sound could be heard echoing from Qin Wentian right now. His entire being was enveloped in a light that originated from his own divine elephant, allowing the hell elephants to attack him freely as he stood there unmoving.
"He is also proficient in using the force of the divine elephant?" The eyes of everyone flashed. Were these two on the platform proficient in the same kind of energy?
Qin Wentian also stomped his way forward. With a thunderous boom, the entire space shook and Skymist Zhu also felt his heart shaking. His immortal foundation was actually trembling slightly, suppressed by an inconceivably powerful formless pressure.
"RUMBLE!" Qin Wentian continued moving forward. In an instant, Skymist Zhu felt his immortal foundation trembling even more intensely. His heart pounded violently as his expression drastically changed. With a loud roar, all the energy from the hell elephant covered his body, containing a terrifying destructive might. As Qin Wentian neared, his own divine elephant let out a trumpeting sound as he blasted out with his palm, wanting to destroy everything, causing a flood of demonic qi to permeate the area.
Skymist Zhu also launched his attack at the same time. Both their attacks collided together, the attributes of Skymist Zhu's divine elephant was that of hellish fire while the attributes of Qin Wentian's divine elephant was that of destruction and suppression. A deafening sound echoed as waves of aftershocks trembled the entire battle platform. As their attacks collided, Qin Wentian took another step forward. This step forward was akin to a step right on Skymist Zhu's heart.
Skymist Zhu only felt a swath of violent energies moving towards him. A large palm imprint of destruction shot his way, as Skymist Zhu frantically retreated. However just an instant later, numerous great rocs manifested, shooting forward with the speed of lightning. These great rocs radiated a balefulness and shone with the shimmering black light of destruction. Their wings were as sharp as swords, able to tear apart everything. Fleeing was basically impossible.
Skymist Zhu roared in rage. His entire being seemingly transformed into a giant of molten lava. The divine elephant image behind him shimmered in and out of existence, imbuing him with power. When the mighty great rocs slammed into him, they actually couldn't break apart his defense. But right at this moment, Qin Wentian moved forward. Every step Qin Wentian took caused his heart to tremble violently, matching the trembling intensity of his immortal foundation.
His palm shone with boundless light, like a palm from a God. Qin Wentian slammed down with a palm strike with God's Hand activated, right into Skymist Zhu's body.
Accompanied with the shrill scream of agony, the layers of molten lava from Skymist Zhu's body, were all shredded apart. His face was filled with panic, and his eyes when he looked at Qin Wentian were completely filled with an extreme terror.
"BANG!" With a loud boom, Skymist Zhu's defenses shattered completely. His body was flung through the air as traces of blood leaked from his mouth. His expression instantly grew haggard, and his immortal foundation was already shattered. He laid limply on the ground, becoming a cripple.
"This…" The hearts of everyone shuddered. Qin Wentian completely dominated Skymist Zhu. The combat prowess of the two of them was simply not on the same level.
Skymist Jiang's expression turned extremely ugly to behold. Skymist Zhu was already one of the strongest in their empire for his cultivation level. In fact, his cultivation level was even higher than Qin Wentian. He initially hoped for Skymist Zhu to kill Qin Wentian, yet he didn't expected that Skymist Zhu would be crippled instead and Qin Wentian didn't even suffer any injuries.
"Is this the end result you wanted?" Qin Wentian turned about, staring at Skymist Jiang as he slowly spoke. "I said it before. Wanting to challenge me? The guys you sent out are far from worthy."
"Kacha." Skymist Jiang's fist clenched tightly. Today in the confrontation against Qin Wentian, his Skymist Immortal Empire could said to have lost all face. They didn't even win a single battle, a complete defeat.
"Well fucking done." Skymist Jiang coldly spoke. "However, although you are victorious, so what of it?"
"This, cannot represent anything. Even if you are victorious, you won't be able to stop all the peak powers from the adjudication process. With the agreement, the princesses of the Evergreen Immortal Empire is destined to marry into the Skymist Immortal Empire."
Qin Wentian turned his gaze to Skymist Jiang. Pointing his finger at Skymist Hai, he spoke, "Look at that trash. Is he even worthy? Qing`er is my woman, nobody can dictate her future."
"Is that so?" Skymist Jiang's eyes shone with unconcealed killing intent. He stared at Qin Wentian and flicked his sleeves, "The adjudication will proceed on. If the Evergreen Immortal Empire refuses to accept the end result, that means that they are announcing war on the peak powers of the Eastern Regions. I really want to see if they would choose to give up the princesses or wait for their immortal empire to be destroyed."
"You, just wait and see then." After speaking, Skymist Jiang turned and stepped out. Today, his plans were spoiled by Qin Wentian. There was no more meaning if he continued remaining here.
"Junior sincerely came here to pay a visit but the Evergreen Immortal Empire intends to deny the agreement and the Evergreen Immortal Emperor is also not willing to personally come out to meet with us. In that case, we can only proceed on with the adjudication." Skymist Jiang spoke, his voice booming out, thundering through space, spreading to all directions within the imperial palace.
The people of the Skymist Immortal Empire followed Skymist Jiang as they departed. They initially came today to suppress the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Yet, who would have thought that they would be humiliated so badly by Qin Wentian instead?
"Farewell." The people of the Paragon Sword Sect stood up and also departed.
Many of those from the Sky Demon Palace and Taihua Immortal Dynasty turned and stared at Qin Wentian, their gazes filled with contemplative looks. Today, Qin Wentian's name was known by all the peak powers of the Eastern Regions in the immortal realms. A second-level immortal-foundation character actually dared to challenge the Skymist Immortal Empire.
Not only that, he was even holding the hand of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor's daughter, Princess Qing`er, denying the so-called 'agreement.'
"Farewell." The experts from the other powers all stood up as they departed. Not long after, almost everyone had left. Only those from the Evergreen Immortal Empire and Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect still remained.
Qin Wentian had already descended from the platform and returned to Qing`er's side. He continued holding on to her hand. The two of them then turned their gazes onto Evergreen Longhao and the nobility of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
In fact, the other party was looking at them as well. The atmosphere was a little weird as after all, many kings and marquises were filled with disdain with regards to Qin Wentian and Qing`er's relationship in the past, and even to the extent of intentionally making things difficult for him. But what happened today has completely changed their view of Qin Wentian. This was why the atmosphere now felt a little weird.
"Everyone, please feel free to reside temporarily in the imperial palace." After a moment, Evergreen Longhao spoke. He then turned to leave after that. This sentence of his contained a deeper layer of meaning, but he didn't speak any further and left directly.
Those nobles cast a deep glance at Qin Wentian and Qing`er before they left as well.
Right now, Princess Changping walked over towards them. She stared at the two of them and smiled, "You two little fellows truly arrived at a fortuitous time."
"After master knew about the things happening here, she sent me back right away." Qing`er replied. Princess Changping nodded. She then turned to Qin Wentian, "How about you? Are you here for Qing`er?"
"Mhm. After the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect received this news, I immediately rushed over. Who would have thought the Skymist Immortal Empire was so keen to create trouble." Qin Wentian replied.
"Not bad indeed. Seems like the two of you have also improved in your cultivation." Princess Changping smiled. The things that happened today were actually beneficial to Qin Wentian and Qing`er, facilitating the probability that the Evergreen Immortal Emperor might approve of them being together.
"Wentian, why don't you stay in my residence for the time being? Right now the hatred of the Skymist Immortal Empire for you must be so deep that it reaches the bones. Nobody knows what nefarious methods they will try to use." Princess Changping spoke.
"Mhm, okay." Being able to be together with Qing`er, Qin Wentian naturally wouldn't reject this. They have not met each other for many years, it was so hard to be reunited.
The group of people from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect followed Princess Changping back to her residence. Princess Changping and the Crimson-eyed Marquis entertained them, leaving Qin Wentian and Qing`er alone in the courtyard where they used to live in. The two of them held hands and walked to the edge of the lake as they sat down. Although there were a thousand and a million things they wanted to say to each other, neither knew where to begin.
Qin Wentian was staring straight at Qing`er, and although Qing`er pretended not to see it, still exuded the same coldness she always does, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but to flicker as she asked, "What are you looking at?"
"Qing`er you've grown even more beautiful. I really feel like giving you a kiss." Qin Wentian smiled. Qing`er didn't look at him and was staring straight ahead instead, not saying anything.
Qin Wentian stared at this silent beauty as he leaned his head forward. He felt Qing`er clutching his hand tightly, but she didn't make any moves to reject. Her heart now was only filled with panic.
Staring at that flawlessly beautiful face that resembled a princess of ice, Qin Wentian gently leaned in for a kiss. On the fair-white skin of Qing`er's face, a sunset-like blush appeared almost instantly, so breathlessly beautiful!
