Chapter 1267: You Can Only Die
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Old Chai looked really aged, especially when he smiled. His face would be full of wrinkles.
Given his current cultivation base and he still looked so aged, he must definitely be extremely old in reality. Given how old he was and the fact that his cultivation couldn't improve but he could still live so well on the Myriad Devil Islands, one could only say that he is an extremely intelligent man.
After all, it's very hard for one not to offend others here. And at his age, it's only normal for Old Chai to have offended people with cultivation bases which surpassed him. Unless of course all those people he offended had cultivation bases inferior to him and were all killed. This is the only reason why he could survive so well.
But no matter what the reason was, there's no need to doubt that he is an extremely dangerous man.
"I'm already so old, I can't be compared to you young lads. I may die if I'm not the slightest bit cautious." Old Chai clasped his hands to Qin Wentian, "Brother, both you and me are in the elite sector. How about joining forces? I'm sure not many people would be able to stand against our alliance."
"If we form an alliance, shall we kill the people here first?" Qin Wentian smiled.
Old Chai glanced at the two in combat in the air as a smile layered with meaning appeared on his face. Both Ba Xiao and Qi Da were extremely dangerous characters. Killing them now was naturally an optimal choice.
"Old bastard, my opponent is his subordinate and you want to join forces with him? You wouldn't even know how you died." Ba Xiao roared coldly. He naturally understood what sort of person Old Chai was. No matter what he cannot allow Old Chai to act against him. Hence, he can only try his best to make Old Chai face off against Qin Wentian first.
When he heard Ba Xiao's words, the eyes of Old Chai flashed. He glanced at Qin Wentian and asked, "Is that true?"
Qin Wentian merely smiled. He didn't admit or deny it.
"Truthfully speaking, I'm already at this age. If I continue staying at this realm, I'm afraid I would really not be able to continue living. Hence, I have to gain his Majesty's favor and be in the top three no matter what."
"Our aims are the same." Qin Wentian lightly nodded his head. He wasn't in a hurry to fight. As long as Old Chai didn't antagonize him, there was no need for him to clash against such a dangerous character like Old Chai.
"Why not fight a little against me? If I win, don't snatch for the opportunity with me. If you win, the same goes for me as well." Old Chai stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke. He brandished his saber as he walked towards Qin Wentian. At this moment, a powerful saber intent gushed forth enveloping the area. Even the leaves from the forest drifting along with the wind, were directly sliced into pieces. Nothing could get close to Old Chai's body.
Qin Wentian held the demon sword in his hand. He stared at the approaching Old Chai as his law energy flowed forth in endless waves.
"Bzz!" A shadowy figure lunged out as Old Chai's silhouette disappeared. In the next instant, he was in the airspace above Qin Wentian.
The saber in his hand chopped down like a tyrannical bolt of thunder.
This saber strike looked extremely ordinary and the saber itself resembled a knife for chopping firewood. However, the more profound one's insight on the great dao was, the more simplistic their attacks would seem as they have returned to the origin.
As this saber descended, the boundless saber might congregated and formed the manifestation of a gigantic saber. Qin Wentian was like the firewood. If he was in the way, he would be chopped in two.
What's even more terrifying was that a surge of terrifying devil might also gushed forth, painting the area black with devilish energy as the outline of a dragon of destruction appeared in the air.
This simple strike caused even the sky to change color. The experts in the surroundings all had ashen expressions. If the target of this strike was them, they knew they would die for sure.
Swift. This incomparably swift saber art was even faster than lightning. There was no more the look of an elderly in the eyes of Old Chai. There was only an extremely terrifying and cold killing intent.
At the time the saber chopped down, Qin Wentian's sword already moved. The demon sword hummed as an overwhelming burst of demonic might inundated the area as the demon sword expanded to over a thousand meters, slashing upwards at Old Chai who was in the air. The spectators only saw the shadow of a gigantic great roc flying towards the saber.
"Kacha!"
The sword collided against the saber. At this instant, the destructive light which spilled out from the impact caused the hearts of everyone to shudder. Old Chai and Qin Wentian both retreated as the destructive aftershock created an extremely large crater on the ground.
"He blocked it." The eyes of everyone gleamed sharply. Such a terrifying saber attack was actually successfully blocked by Qin Wentian. How fearsome were his reactions?
"That saber of Old Chai is clearly a powerful devil-king level divine weapon." The spectators glanced at the saber in Old Chai's hands. This seemingly harmless old man was able to erupt forth with such destructive might in a single instant. Old Chai was truly too dangerous.
Qin Wentian was just as terrifying as well, being able to block that saber strike.
In reality, Qin Wentian was sweating as well. For an old monster like Old Chai, how would he so easily believe him? That aged appearance and that kind smile...how could anyone who lived for so long be a simple character? That was why he has always been on his guard, waiting for a sudden attack from Old Chai.
And as expected, the moment the old man acted, he did so with an overwhelmingly powerful strike, directly using a supremely powerful devil weapon. Why would there be any rules here? That strike of Old Chai was clearly meant to take his life.
Although Old Chai was very old, since he could also sit in the elite sector, how could he be weak?
In truth, Old Chai was the most dangerous character at the devil-foundation realm living on the Myriad Devil Islands.
As he had failed with that strike, this caused shock in Old Chai's heart. He glanced at Qin Wentian as he silently mused at the fact that those who could sit in the elite sector were truly terrifying characters.
A harmless smile then appeared on his face, "Farewell."
As he spoke, he actually turned about and leave, avoiding fighting head-on against Qin Wentian. In a battle where he had no complete confidence of winning, unless he really had no choice, he would definitely choose to retreat. What Old Chai wanted was to reach the very end. He didn't want to chase after some empty glory.
Just like what he said, he was now already extremely old. If he didn't break through to the next realm, he would die sooner or later. He understood that it wasn't an easy task for him to have survive up until now.
"Old Chai actually retreated." The devil kings spectator from outside were astonished, especially for devil kings of the Fallen Devil Island. They all knew very well how powerful Old Chai was.
"Seems like although that little fellow kept evading battles, his strength isn't too bad." The devil emperor smiled at the Old Xia Devil King, as though he was intending on antagonizing Old Xia. He knew that the one his old friend highly regarded, was Huang Shatian.
"He's not too bad I guess but Huang Shatian is still more to my liking." Old Xia Devil King spoke.
On the battlefield, Qin Wentian glanced at the other experts in the surroundings. Those devil cultivators who chose to remain, clearly intended to be the fishermen which profits from fishing the troubled waters. Qi Da was currently in battle, how could Qin Wentian let any of these people take advantage of Qi Da?
"Everyone, scram." Qin Wentian took a few steps forward and coldly spoke.
Although he wanted to avoid needless battles, he didn't actually fear them.
If they didn't want to scram, he would make sure they scrammed.
Those devil cultivators currently possessed the advantage if they chose to group together. When they heard Qin Wentian's words, cold intent couldn't help but to radiate from them.
He told them to scram?
Qin Wentian glanced at their expressions and knew that it wouldn't be so easy to make these people leave. He brandished the demon sword and walked towards them as a terrifying light erupted from his body, manifesting numerous ancient characters that shot towards his opponents.
Quite a few of his opponents took out their devil weapons as their devil might surged forth. At this very moment, Qin Wentian's silhouette flashed as he disappeared from sight, instantly re-appearing before one man.
The countenance of that man instantly changed, he directly cleaved down with a devil axe towards Qin Wentian.
"DIE!" Qin Wentian coldly snorted. The demon sword hummed as shadows of great rocs shot forth with extreme speed, radiating boundless sharpness.
"Puchi…" A light sound rang out. Even before the axe descended, a bloody line already appeared on the throat of the attacker. At this moment, as his axe slammed down, Qin Wentian blocked it by lifting a single hand, but the attacker was already dead.
The other experts initially wanted to step out, but all of them froze at this moment as their expressions grew unsightly. When Qin Wentian turned his gaze to them, all of them retreated slowly with trepidation in their gazes.
"Scram. I won't say this a third time." Qin Wentian coldly reiterated. The expressions of these people turn ashen as they turned and departed the area. Very swiftly, only the two who were in combat, and Qin Wentian, remained here.
"This fellow…" The spectators outside were all speechless when they saw Qin Wentian. He didn't really have a strong desire to battle earlier, yet he is so domineering all of a sudden, telling everyone to scram. How tyrannical was this?
He evaded battles yet he was no coward. These people who chose to avoid battles couldn't be looked upon with disdain. After all, their goals were all the same.
They all wanted to survive until the end, gaining the attention of the devil emperor and becoming one of the top ten.
Ba Xiao's expression was incredibly unsightly. He fought for so long but had no way to take down his opponent, and Qin Wentian was eyeing him like how a tiger eyes its prey. The situation was extremely disadvantageous for him, and his opponent Qi Da, seemed to grow stronger the longer they fought, like an innate king of battle.
Qin Wentian slowly rose up into the air. He, who had the demon sword in his hand, stood at a side as he spectated the battle. He didn't interfere in Qi Da's battle. Qi Da was an expert from the Battle Saint Tribe and he needed more battles to temper himself,
For the Battle Saint Tribe, the more battles they fought, the more they could ignite the potential of their sacred battle bone.
"Ba Xiao is sure to be defeated." The spectators outside could already tell the ending. The experts from the Royal Devil Sect all had unsightly expressions. Ba Xiao was the third-ranked character on the Devil Rankings, yet he was actually going to be defeated by a random someone from some other devil island?
"BOOM!" At this moment, Ba Xiao who no longer had the will to fight, took out his devil weapon. The terrifying devil hammer smashed towards Qi Da.
"Swish~" At the exact same moment, the demon sword of Qin Wentian slashed out. If Ba Xiao continued fighting, he wouldn't have interfered. But since Ba Xiao no longer wanted to fight, in that case, let things end here then.
Upon feeling a sense of crisis, Ba Xiao shifted his hammer to another direction, smashing towards Qin Wentian instead.
"BANG!" The demon sword expanded in form, and clashed against the devil hammer. Another terrifying shadow of a great roc manifested, shrouding the skies completely. Qin Wentian flung his sword out, only to see the demon sword turning small again as it stabbed towards Ba Xiao's throat.
Ba Xiao howled in rage and slammed a palm strike against the demon sword. Qi Da's attack blasted right into him, causing his expression to turn extremely ugly to behold.
"For the sake of Lady Xin Yu, you can only die." Qin Wentian quietly spoke, causing chills to bloom in Ba Xiao's heart. That cold voice was announcing his death.
Qin Wentian's body radiated a violent surge of devilish might as he appeared directly before Ba Xiao. An ancient halberd of destruction then manifested and stabbed towards Ba Xiao, the pressure engulfing him.
Ba Xiao needed to expend so much effort already just fighting Qi Da alone, let alone now with the addition of an even stronger Qin Wentian. Ba Xiao howled in rage, filled with reluctance. Under such monumental pressure, there was basically no way for him to break free. He could only wait for death.
The halberd stabbed right into Ba Xiao's throat, seizing his life. Ba Xiao trembled as he stared at Qin Wentian. He actually died here because of jealousy over a woman from the Celestial Devil Lodge!
