Chapter 1198: Finish Them
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
A single word gave rise to a terrifying storm.
Qin Wentian merely glanced at Jia Gu but couldn't be bothered to look directly at him as he told him to scram. Such an attitude was undoubtedly an extremely domineering response.
This originally was a grudge between Qin Wentian and the white tigers. What qualifications does Jia Gu have to barge in? Staring at how arrogant Jia Gu was, using his eyes that gleamed with the light of judgement as he stared at all of them, it felt extremely disrespectful. Qin Wentian's reply was undoubtedly smacking Jia Gu's face. Who the hell does Jia Gu think he is? Does he even have the qualifications to interfere in his matters?
The eyes of the holy maidens all coldly regarded Jia Gu. When the holy maidens were humiliated by the white tigers, did Jia Gu interfere? When the holy maidens were forced to transform into droplets of nirvanic blood, did Jia Gu say anything? How ridiculous.
"Your enemies are all over the sacred academy, yet your mouth is still so filthy. Back then you had the protection of the sacred academy but as for today… Do you really think that I wouldn't dare to kill you?" Jia Gu's voice was incomparably cold. Those lofty eyes of his gleamed with a golden light. He was a sky roc at the ninth-level and the Sky Roc Race was more fearsome compared to the White Tiger Race. How would he be wary of a sixth-level human cultivator?
Only now did Qin Wentian focus his stare on Jia Gu. His eyes were like ice, "If you want to kill me, this means that you are participating in the conflict between us and the white tigers. As long as you say the word, you are in. Who knows? Maybe we have truly good food fortune today and are able to enjoy the taste of both sky rocs and white tigers. I'm sure it would be extremely delectable."
"BOOM!" A golden beam of light flashed, radiating from Jia Gu. The filament of lights were like sharp swords that tore space apart. Such might would truly cause fear in one's heart.
Qin Wentian didn't move. He calmly stared at Jia Gu as he spoke, "There's no need to be in such a hurry to vent your anger. At the very least, do tell me if you are participating in this war between the two alliance or not. If not, if we really enter combat, I don't know if I should kill you or not."
Jia Gu swept his gaze towards the people around Qin Wentian. There were only a few demons beside him, how could they stand against the strength of so many humans? If he said yes now, these people here would definitely launch an all-out attack.
"You are not qualified to have a life-and-death battle with me. I just want to let you know that you have to pay a price for your arrogance." A terrifyingly sharp gaze landed on Qin Wentian. "Let me see how strong you are exactly."
As the sound of his voice faded, he slashed out a roc sword, shimmering with light, unleashing an indomitable force.
Behind Qin Wentian, an expert from the Battle Saint Tribe lifted his hand and punched out, causing fist shadows to fill the sky. After a thunderous boom, the waves cleared. Qin Wentian stared up at the sky calmly and spoke, "Be careful, don't kill or cripple them."
After that, several experts of the Battle Saint Tribe stepped out at the same moment alongside numerous high-level holy maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan. Their faces were like ice, the anger and hatred in their hearts had yet to be fully released.
The people in the surroundings hurriedly evaded. The sound of thunderous rumbles rang out in the air as the earth trembled. However, Qin Wentian, Mo Qingcheng and the others still continued sitting there calmly, eating the white tiger meat, adopting a casual manner as though they had no intent to battle.
"Despicable fellow. Is the strength of your guards what you are depending on?" Jia Gu, who was in the air, roared in rage.
"Seems like the logic is that I should jump three levels to fight against you simply because you are unhappy with what I'm doing? If this is the case, I have no objections but you have to let me see first what capabilities you have to be so arrogant? As a ninth-level immortal, you can't even take the pressure of these multiple experts? What qualifications do you have to fight solo against me? Greater demon sky roc, do you even want face?" Qin Wentian mocked.
"All people are like this, simply two-faced." Li Yufeng laughed. Very swiftly, several sky rocs let out howls of misery. Jia Gu was fighting against the joint attacks of several experts. He reverted back to his true form but how could the experts fo the Battle Saint Tribe and Southern Phoenix Clan give up this chance to vent their anger? A few moments later, it was unknown how many of Jia Gu's bones were broken. He could only continue howling in anger and pain from the impact.
As a ninth-level greater demon of the Sky Roc Race, he was actually reduced to such a miserable state after a group attack? This was basically a huge humiliation.
"Qin Wentian, you will regret this." His low-voice resounded out in a roar. However, another explosion rang out as a gigantic fist from an expert of the Battle Saint Tribe smashed into his back with such force that his wings almost shattered. He coughed out a few more mouthfuls of blood, appearing in an extremely sorry state.
This scene caused the hearts of everyone to tremble. Right now, Qin Wentian and his comrades were like gods of slaughter. Whoever dared to antagonize them would be deemed by them as their enemies.
Not long after, the gigantic sky roc Jia Gu was blasted onto the ground. His aura wavered weakly, as his body was riddled in wounds, causing fresh blood to flow up. Such a scene caused everyone's hair to stand. If Jia Gu said earlier that he would participate in the conflict, wouldn't Qin Wentian truly have barbequed him as well?
"By offending so many people, are you not fearful of retaliation?" Li Yufeng curiously asked.
"I don't offend people, but people are going out all their way to offend me." Qin Wentian calmly spoke. He was never the instigator, yet this Jia Gu clearly was looking for trouble. Could it be that he has to act weak and bow his head to avoid this?
"Many geniuses in the immortal realms died because they couldn't control their emotions. If they are able to endure and take a step back, many grudges wouldn't erupt, leading to their deaths." Li Yufeng reminded.
Qin Wentian stared at the handsome features of Li Yufeng. He knew that Li Yufeng wanted to understand his thoughts, which was why he was speaking in such a manner. This Li Yufeng seemed to be very curious about him.
Staring at Li Yufeng's eyes, Qin Wentian slowly spoke, "Why do cultivators cultivate? The path of cultivation brooks no retreat, only by advancing forward continuously can they stand tall in the heavens, dominating everything below them. If one has to restrict their dao heart, how would they be able to accomplish anything? My dao heart is simply like that, returning favors for gratitude, repaying hatred with my vengeance. I want to grow strong, so strong to the extent whereby I can live as I like in the world. I won't bully others but no one else should think about bullying me as well. If there's someone who is attempting to do that, I can only choose to dominate them."
Everyone felt their hearts shaking when they heard Qin Wentian's words from his heart. The words he had spoken did produce a resonance with all of them. Many of them had the same pursuit, wanting to grow stronger and stronger because they wanted to live in this world as they liked, doing what they wanted to, without bowing to others.
Naturally, because cultivation grants strength, there were some people who grew incomparably arrogant, thinking of only their benefits, ignoring whether others lived or died. An example was like Huang Youdi, an insufferably arrogant brat. Just because his elder brother praised Qing`er, he immediately issued a statement saying Qing`er is the woman of his elder brother, wanting to use force to achieve that, suppressing all those who disagreed with him.
"What if you are unable to dominate them?" Li Yufeng laughed. Qin Wentian's words weren't wrong, but given how vast the immortal realms are, there would always be people stronger than you trying to bully you. How would one dominate them then?
Qin Wentian understood what Li Yufeng was referring to. He then replied, "If someone wants to kill you, and if you are unable to dominate them, you can't possibly just sit there and wait for death, right? The only path remaining to you is to flee, only when you grow strong enough to dominate them, would you choose to return. But if you are unable to surpass your opponents no matter how long you take, you can only submit to your fate then."
"A very simple logic." Li Yufeng smiled. "In that case, does it mean that right now, you can fully dominate the entire White Tiger Alliance? Is this the reason why you chose now to return?"
Qin Wentian declined to comment. After their combat, his comrades continued enjoying the feast, increasing their immortal energy, even their bloodline powers were undergoing nourishment. Such a scene truly made some of the spectators want to act like Li Yufeng and head forward to enjoy the delicious meat.
"Why do I feel you look so familiar?" Qin Wentian's gaze suddenly turned to Beiming Nongyue. Undoubtedly, Beiming Nongyue was extremely pretty, her demeanor was also extraordinary and she had a different beauty compared to Mo Qingcheng.
"Maybe you've met my elder sister before?" Beiming Nongyue laughed. "She is much more famous than me and her title is the number one beauty of our Darknorth Immortal Empire. You most probably wouldn't be able to forget her if you met her once."
"Your sister?" Qin Wentian had a look of contemplation on his face. Staring at her beautiful face, he suddenly thought of someone. He then smiled to himself, this world was truly full of strange things. To think that Beiming Nongyue was actually the little sister of that woman.
"They are here…" At this moment, Li Yufeng suddenly spoke. The people beside Qin Wentian turned their gazes to the horizons, they could feel a heavy pressure gushing over here. Seems like their enemies have also gathered and were quickly rushing over.
All of them then stood up, preparing for battle.
"Relax, finish your meal first. The white tiger meat are so nutritious, let's fill our bellies before we battle. Maybe after the battle, we would have even more white tiger meat to feast upon." Qin Wentian sat there, as relaxed as ever. His words made the hearts of his comrades feel at ease. Seems like Qin Wentian was extremely confident. They had also personally witnessed Qin Wentian's combat prowess and understood that as long as Huang Shatian didn't join in, there should be no one else in the White Tiger Alliance capable of fighting against Qin Wentian.
They continued with their feast, moving extremely fast, finishing the meal. Their immortal energy bubbled to the brim, as all of them recovered to their peak condition.
The pressure of their enemies finally bore down on them. Those innocent spectators hurriedly retreated. Li Yufeng then stood up and smiled, "Thank you for your hospitality."
After speaking, he brought Beiming Nongyue and prepared to leave, not polite at all. However at this moment, over ten enemy experts landed on the ground. When the white tigers saw Qin Wentian was barbequing the meat of their tribe members, all of their countenances turned extremely unsightly. The look in their eyes was also filled with hatred that it seemed they could kill people. They glared at Li Yufeng, "Does this mean you are participating in the conflict as well?"
"He threw a feast, I couldn't withstand the temptation of delicious food and joined him. However, I have nothing to do with the hatred you have for each other." Li Yufeng shrugged. "I won't participate."
"You think you can absolve yourself from blame just by saying that?" An eighth-level white tiger king coldly sneered as his baleful energy covered this space.
Li Yufeng frowned. "If I'm hated just because I ate some meat, it's fine with me. If you all want to play, I'm on anytime."
After he spoke, Li Yufeng directly left the area, as carefree as before. Other than the white tigers, the other experts of the White Tiger Alliance wouldn't be bothered with him. After all, he only ate the meat of the white tigers and had no grudges with them. If the white tigers really wished to play, he will play with them a little.
"Qin Wentian." Cold gazes landed on him, only to see Qin Wentian smiling at Mo Qingcheng beside him. "Qingcheng, after finishing our meal, it's time for some combat. Later on, just stick around with me."
"Mhm." Mo Qingcheng nodded lightly. Qin Wentian then stood up as a rumbling sound echoed. His form turned into a giant over a hundred metres tall. Placing Mo Qingcheng at his shoulder, his entire body glowed with a supreme immortal light, the glow enveloping Mo Qingcheng as well. When the spectators saw this, their hearts couldn't help but to tremble. Where did the self-confidence of this fellow come from? Placing his wife on his shoulders in combat, could it be that he was extremely confident that no one could break his defenses?
"Before this, I've already said. What happens if someone wants to bully us, attempting to take our lives?"
"We will dominate them." Experts from the Battle Saint Tribe replied.
"In that case, finish them all." As the sound of his voice rang out, Qin Wentian stepped forward causing the earth to tremble as fissures appeared. Experts of both sides rushed each other, no longer exchanging any more words, instantly erupting into combat!
