Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Thank you, Third Brother!” Golden Flower Granny took a few steps forward during the critical moment and called out to Xie Xun. “Since the people from Beggar’s Sect have already come to Spirit Snake Island twice, they will have spread the information that can be spread already.

“It’d be better if you didn’t kill these two Beggar’s Sect elders in case you anger those beggars. If they come and attack us en masse, it’d be even more dangerous. I don’t want Spirit Snake Island to turn into hell on earth.”

“Hmph.” Xie Xun might think that what she said was logical, but his stubborn personality made it so that once he attacked, he would not regret his decision. “Deities Without Thought, I’ll let you take care of those two people.”

“Understood!”

The young Japanese player standing by the side had been waiting for that moment for a long time. When he heard it, joy appeared on his face. He walked forward with short and swift footsteps, and very soon, he sped up before he jumped up.

His lightness skills were clearly not very good, but his speed was pretty decent. It was very easy for him to catch up to Chen You Liang, who was severely wounded while he still supported an elder with a severed arm.

He threw two shurikens outward at lightning speed, and they went for Chen You Liang’s back.

During the critical moment, two throwing knives shot out from the bamboo forest.

Clang! Clang!

Two clear sounds of metal clashing against metal rose, and the throwing knives accurately struck away the two fatal shurikens.

“Who is it?!” Deities Without Thought stopped warily and stared into the depths of the forest.

Night Rain Follows Wind saw that he could no longer hide himself, so he walked out. It was his task to protect Chen Youliang until he left. “Elder Chen, hurry up and leave. Leave this to us.”

“Dream on!” Deities Without Thought had been in Spirit Snake Island for some time, and he had very limited chances to train, so when he saw that there was a good chance for him to kill a Moksha Realm martial artist, he was naturally unwilling to let it go. He gritted his teeth and got ready to bypass Night Rain Follows Wind to chase after the two Moksha Realm Beggar’s Sect elders.

“Who is it?!” At that moment, Xie Xun noticed that someone had stopped Deities Without Thought from attacking, and he roared in anger while charging at them.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Around a dozen throwing knives and arrows came charging out of the bamboo forest.

“Child’s play!” Xie Xun snorted coldly in the air, and with one palm wind, he destroyed all the projectiles, causing Deities Without Thought, who had been shocked by the number of people who came over, to feel high-spirited.

“Big Brother Night Rain, we’ll hold Xie Xun back. Protect the elder and leave!”

Someone from the bamboo forest attracted Xie Xun’s attention and quickly headed to the depths of the bamboo forest.

Night Rain Follows Wind felt his pressure lighten and held his saber while standing in front of Deities Without Thought.

When Deities Without Thought faced Night Rain Follows Wind alone, he smiled coldly. “You think you’re enough to stop me?”

He had a strange accent that was not particularly rich in tone, and his words instantly made Night Rain Follows Wind agitated. He sucked in a deep breath and said nothing else but went to receive Deities Without Thought, who came charging at him with swift footsteps. His gaze focused, and he suddenly took a step forward before a fierce, blood red saber glare exploded from his saber!

The blood-red saber glare cut upwards diagonally, and it sealed off all the paths ahead of the enemy.

Deities Without Thought was shocked!

But his reaction was pretty fast. He sank back and crawled into the earth.

Night Rain Follows Wind’s strike, which he had been certain would hit, landed in the air! He stared at the hole where Deities Without Thought had disappeared into a little dazed. When he turned around, he heard some sounds, and he suddenly noticed that Deities Without Thought had bypassed him underground and caught up to the two elders.

“Bastard!”

Night Rain Follows Wind cursed, feeling like he had been made a fool. He quickly turned around and increased his speed to the max.

Night Rain Follows Wind was a player who was among the top in Beggar’s Sect. He was also rather famous in all the large sects in the south. He had quite the extraordinary abilities, and soon, he caught up to Deities Without Thought.

However, Deities Without Thought was not weak either. He was considered one of the top players in Daiei, and since he admired the extensive and profound martial arts culture in China, he had traveled across the ocean to see it, and he had come to learn a lot from various sources. Then, he chose Spirit Snake Island’s Golden Haired Lion King Xie Xun as his breakthrough.

“Get lost!”

When he saw that Night Rain Follows Wind had caught up to him so quickly, Deities Without Thought became even more wary and careful. He knew that even if this person was not among the top in China, he might still be a top-class player. Without another word, he threw batches upon batches of shurikens to interfere with Night Rain Follows Wind’s speed.

Night Rain Follows Wind was worried about the safety of the two elders, but he did not dare to receive the shurikens head-on. He moved left and right, and at the same time, he also used his throwing knives to fight back.

The bamboos by the sides were continuously attacked by hidden weapons. Cracking sounds were heard, and they were torn and bent one after another.

When Deities Without Thought saw that his speed had also been affected, Night Rain Follows Wind was gradually showing signs of catching up to him, and Chen Youliang had exited the bamboo forest into the beach, he knew that it was already very difficult for him to complete the quest. He gritted his teeth and suddenly stopped throwing shurikens. He turned around resolutely, and with great killing intent on his face, he rushed at Night Rain Follows Wind!

“If I cannot complete the quest, then you don’t think about leaving alive!”

A fierce light shone in his eyes, and Night Rain Follows Wind immediately sensed that the situation was bad based on how he sucked in a deep breath and from his abnormal actions. He did not dare to be negligent and crossed his arms.

He suddenly sped up and charged forward, as if a miracle had happened. The distance between the two instantly reduced.

Clang!

The blood-red saber glare tore through the air and crashed violently into Deities Without Thought’ chest.

Almost at the same time, a loud voice that sounded like the roar of a fierce beast shot out from the bamboo forest, and there was a vortex that came with it.

The Buddhists’ ultimate technique, Lion’s Roar!

Night Rain Follows Wind was the first to be affected. He bled from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, and he was blasted so badly by the shock that he flew away.

But Deities Without Thought was not much better.

It was clear that Japan’s refinement skills had not caught up to those of China. Night Rain Follows Wind had a third-echelon weapon along with Life and Death Realm saber techniques. Its damage was not any inferior to Lion’s Roar.

When Deities Without Thought executed his Lion’s Roar, a terrifying gash was cut into his body. He flew more than thirty feet away, and he only stopped after he crashed into a few bamboos.

Night Rain Follows Wind was not killed by Deities Without Thought’ Lion’s Roar. Even though he felt a little faint, his ears kept ringing, there was blood in his mouth, nose, and eyes, and he looked so horrifying that he painted a sorry picture, he still gritted his teeth and stood up. He shook his dizzy head, and he quickly brought out a Dew Pill from his Universe Bag to eat it before he sat down cross-legged to heal his wounds.

Lion’s Roar...

Aside from powerful damage, the sound wave also dealt extremely great damage to a person’s organs and brain.

The blow had gone straight to his face just then, and Night Rain Follows Wind had received the full damage from Lion’s Roar!

Night Rain Follows Wind noticed that his vision and hearing had become incredibly blurry, and he could not circulate his qi smoothly. It would be difficult for him to recover his fighting ability within a short period of time, so he had to rely on his qi cultivation technique to heal his wounds.

“Heh heh.”

Deities Without Thought was struck too, and he was in an incredibly terrible state as well. However, he still retained some fighting power. When he saw Night Rain Follows Wind sitting cross-legged to circulate his qi cultivation technique, he immediately understood what was going on and quickly crawled to his feet from among the torn bamboos.

“So what if you’re a great Chinese fighter? Before Lion’s Roar, what use are your skills?”

When he came close with his sword in hand, Night Rain Follows Wind noticed vaguely that someone was approaching, and he did not even need to guess to know who it was. He opened his unclear eyes, and there was anger, indignation, and despair in them. “I can’t believe I’d die because of someone like you...”

“Remember my name.” Deities Without Thought stopped in front of Night Rain Follows Wind and placed his long Tsurugi on Night Rain Follows Wind’s shoulder while looking at him from above. “My name is Deities Without Thought. From now on, every single one of you in China will remember my name.”

“Bah!” Night Rain Follows Wind glared at Deities Without Thought’ smug face and spat fiercely. “Don’t be so smug. There are countless elites in China, and you think that you can throw your weight around?”

“I know that the two strongest in China is One Emperor and Happy, but one of these days, I will cut them down, just like how I am going to behead you.”

As if he had done this thousands of times before, Deities Without Thought’ words suddenly became smooth and clear, and he put on a derisive and confident smile.

Once he finished speaking, Deities Without Thought lifted the sword in his hand high.

At that moment, a faint breeze suddenly blew at them.

An indifferent and clear voice suddenly rose beside Deities Without Thought’ ears. “Say what you did right in my face again, why don’t you?”

A mysterious man with a Bamboo Hat appeared bizarrely near the two men.

There was also an extremely beautiful lady in a white robe as white as snow nearby. She stood quietly, not saying a word.
