Chapter 54: Had to Kill!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“Boom...”
The huge sword aura formed and slammed like a cannonball onto Yang Dingtian’s chest.
“Boom...” Yang Dingtian’s body was blasted away several dozen meters, like rice straw.
“Puffing...” In the air, blood shot out of his mouth like an arrow.
Yang Qi leaped into the air and aimed at Yang Dingtian. He once again frantically swung his sword.
“Pop...” The red-hot sword aura once again struck Yang Dingtian’s chest.
Again, Yang Dingtian spat out blood and flew another several dozen meters away.
Then, he fell violently to the ground and kicked up dust. After rolling for a dozen meters, he remained motionless on the ground, covered in blood.
“Hahahaha...” Yang Qi laughed so hard and slowly walked towards Yang Dingtian after landing.
“Killing you is just a simple matter, isn’t it?”
When he reached Yang Dingtian, Yang Qi’s red color face had faded and turned pale. At the moment, the Xuan energy in his body was almost exhausted.
He walked to Yang Dingtian and gently kicked him. There was no response.
The blood flowing from Yang Dingtian had soaked into the ground.
Yang Qi slowly lifted his sword and pressed it against the back Yang Dingtian’s neck. He sneered. “Don’t worry, I’ll help you take care of Ximen Yanyan. Her cultivation has been constantly deteriorating while I’m rapidly improving. I believe that I will surpass her soon. Then, I can finally make my dream come true. I’ve always wanted to try this young face with big boobs lady, the number one beauty in the Northwest Continent.”
After that, Yang Qi violently raised his sword and cut down at Yang Dingtian’s neck.
He not only wanted to kill Yang Dingtian but also wanted to cut off his head.
“Dang!” Suddenly, a broken sword blocked Yang Qi’s sword.
To Yang Qi, it seemed incredible that the seemingly unconscious Yang Dingtian would suddenly open his eyes and show him a mocking smile.
“Ahhh...” Yang Qi let out a horrified scream and immediately turned his body to escape. His Xuan energy had all been exhausted earlier.
But, it was too late.
Yang Dingtian firmly leaped forward with his broken sword in hand.
“Whooshing...” The broken sword shot forth like a lightning bolt and stabbed into Yang Qi’s back, piercing through his body.
After stabbing him, Yang Dingtian leaped forward like an evil tiger. He grabbed the back of Yang Qi’s neck and pulled out his broken sword.
“Ahhh...” Yang Qi was miserable.
“Puffing...”
After holding Yang Qi’s neck to prevent him from escaping, Yang Dingtian aimed at his back and quickly stabbed a dozen times.
Each stab was bloody and vicious.
“Ahhh...” Yang Qi was shrieking horrifically.
After being stabbed twenty times, Yang Qi’s body was a mess of flesh and blood, looking like a pile of mud.
Yang Dingtian strongly pressed Yang Qi against the ground and pointed his sword at his neck.
“I have Deep Sea Xuan Clothes on me. Did you think your sword aura and Xuan energy could hurt me? Even without its protection, I still have Nine Yang Xuan Veins. I was able to stay alive after getting hit by Zhu Hongxue. Your sword aura isn’t even worth mentioning.” Yang Dingtian sneered. “If you had wanted to escape, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything to you. But, taking that pill and using your Xuan energy to try to kill me, you were just seeking death. You drove yourself into a dead end.”
Yang Qi kneeled on the ground. His whole body was cold and bleeding. He was shivering.
“Don’t kill me. Don’t kill me. Brother-in-law, don’t kill me,” Yang Qi wept weakly. “Yanyan is my cousin, so you’re also my cousin. Don’t kill me!”
Yang Dingtian shook his head. “I can’t find a reason not to kill you. I’m fine even if you offend me. But, you keep saying that you want to harm Yanyan and keep expressing an improper desire towards her. I won’t allow a viper to stay beside her.”
“Bro, please don’t kill me. Actually, I didn’t want to kill you, but someone asked me to. He promised that if I killed you, he would allow me to have Yanyan for one night and make me leader of the Black Blood Cavalry,” Yang Yan said while shivering.
Yang Dingtian complexion changed immediately. He angrily asked, “Who? Was it Tang Li?”
“No, not Tang Li. Tang Li is just his minion. It’s Qin Shaobai, who will soon arrive at Cloud Sky City. He’s here to become the Cloud Sky City Lord. But, because you are the heir appointed by Ximen Wuya, he ordered us to kill you before he got here.”
“Qin Shaobai? Who is he? What qualifications does he have to be the Lord of Cloud Sky City?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“He is the third son of the Northwest Qin family and is also Great Elder Yang Yan’s grandson. However, a few days ago, he was expelled from the Northwest Qin City because of his mistakes. He was driven away to Cloud Sky City together with his mother Yang Shishi. He has since changed his name to Yang Shaobai,” Yang Qi explained.
“Such a good stratagem and plan,” Yang Dingtian sneered.
This was indeed a good plan to occupy Cloud Sky City.
The Northwest Qin family was one of the world’s hegemons. Among the Three Sects, Nine Factions, and Twenty-Seven Groups, it was ranked at the very top of the Nine Factions.
Compared to Cloud Sky City, it was a real hegemon, controlling three thousand square miles of territory.
Before the Ximen Wuya’s peerless battle at sea, it was recognized as the top power in the Northwest Continent, ranking top five in the world.
In terms of strength, the Northwest Qin family was a few times stronger than Cloud Sky City. Even if one only considered the Guru level experts, the Northwest Qin family had three or four. Cloud Sky City had only one, which was Ximen Wuya.
Ximen Wuya’s greatest opponent in the entire Northwest Continent was Northwest Qin family’s master, who was an absolutely unfathomable hero.
These past years, the struggle between Ximen Wuya and the Northwest Qin family raged constantly. Ximen Wuya desperately suppressed the Yang family forces and fostered his three outstanding foster sons, Ximen Ju, Ximen Lie, and Ximen Nu, to hold positions in the Elder Society. However, the Northwest Qin family secretly fostered the Yang family and made arrangements with them.
However, they didn’t dare make the relationship public when Ximen Wuya was still around.
But now that he’s gone, the Northwest Qin family immediately revealed their attitude.
Qin Shaobai’s arrival, on the surface, was entirely his own decision. The truth, however, was that his journey here was secretly backed by the Northwest Qin family. At the same time, they had Yang Yan act as their representative in the Elder Society of Cloud Sky City. It seemed that they had full control over the position of Lord of Cloud Sky City.
“Bro, I’ve told you everything. Please spare my life. Please spare my life.”
Seeing Yang Dingtian looking conflicted, Yang Qi coldly added, “I’m from the Qin family and am Qin Shaobai’s close relative. If you kill me, they will definitely crush you into a corpse. If you spare me, maybe I can plead for you in front of Qin Shaobai to spare your life.”
Yang Dingtian calmly said, “You think too much. How old are you?”
“Seventeen!” Yang Dingtian answered with a shiver.
“So young...” Yang Dingtian sighed. “But, I have no choice. Sorry!”
“Shua...” Yang Dingtian fiercely stabbed down with his sword.
“Ahhhh...” Yang Qi’s screamed in horror. His voice was cut off halfway as blood splattered everywhere. His head had been cut off and rolled to the side.
“I’ve told you too much, and you keep saying you’re going to harm Yanyan. Therefore, you had to die.”
Yang Qi’s corpse had been cut into two pieces. His face was frozen in a shocked expression.
Yang Dingtian sighed and shook his head helplessly.
He didn’t want to kill, but he had to!
...
The proud son of God, Qin Shaobai, was it? Yang Dingtian would like to meet him and see how strong he was.
Yang Yan betrayed the city’s ancestral foundation. Curse him!
The Elder Society sold Cloud Sky City to its enemy, to outsiders. Curse them!
Yang Dingtian grabbed the two pieces of Yang Qi’s corpse and walked forward.
He didn’t want to bury him. Instead, he walked towards the abyss intending to pitch the corpse inside. In this way, the body would quickly be burned to ashes by the magma. All traces of Yang Qi would disappear.
There was currently no one else in the trial wilderness. No one saw Yang Dingtian kill Yang Qi. As long as the evidence was destroyed, no one would suspect Yang Dingtian because everyone thought that he was just trash. How could an idiot kill Yang Qi, a Five Star Novice Martial Artist?
After walking a few hundred meters, he reached the edge of a deep abyss. The red-blood magma flowed beneath. Even though he was standing a few kilometers above the magma, Yang Dingtian could still vividly feel a horrible heat energy emanating from below.
He gently threw down Yang Qi’s head into the abyss.
Then, he pushed the body over as well.
After a few seconds....
“Puffing...” Yang Qi’s body landed in the magma. There was a small splash, and smoke rose immediately.
After a while, Yang Qi’s body was burned to ashes, leaving no traces. From that moment onwards, Yang Qi had completely vanished from this world.
...
“Sigh...” Yang Dingtian relaxed and sat down on the ground.
He had killed the Fiery Demon Wolf and Yang Qi.
He was currently covered in wounds. His body was a mess of flesh and blood.
He slowly closed his eyes and prepared to take a short break. He took out a healing pill.
Suddenly, Yang Dingtian smelled a very seductive scent. It resembled the scent of a certain flower but was much stronger.
And the strange thing was, after inhaling this fragrance, his body immediately became light and fluttering. He felt like he was flying.
Moreover, his pain and the wounds on his body were recovering rapidly. Some of the wounds disappeared altogether!
It was strange that this incense had such a great effect.
“Master, what is this? It was so fragrant and amazing?” Yang Dingtian asked in his heart.
Dongfang Niemie answered, “Search along the cliffs of the abyss. There should be a certain kind of flower nearby.”
Yang Dingtian looked down from the cliff and found an incomparably beautiful flower blooming approximately a hundred meters below the cliff. It was blooming at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye.
As it bloomed, its color changed constantly.
The flower had no leaves. It had only a red-hot rhizome. There were six petals that looked completely different from the flowers that Yang Dingtian were familiar with. However, it really was beautiful and dreamy. Yang Dingtian had never seen such a beautiful and mysterious flower before.
“This is the Enchanted Orchid. It is used to concoct the Enchanted Pill. The blooming period is less than half an hour,” Dongfang Niemie said.
“Is it precious?” Yang Dingtian asked.
“Very precious. If you want to sell it, the going price for an Enchanted Orchid is more than that of a piece of Bloody Black Gold,” Dongfang Niemie explained. “But, this is not very useful for you right now.”
“Then, I’ll go pluck it for Ximen Ningning to use to concoct pills. I need to give her a thank-you gift for helping me,” Yang Dingtian stated.
Then, he slowly climbed down the cliff to pick the Enchanted Orchid.
“Oh no! Run...” Dongfang Niemie warned.
Yang Dingtian was shocked. Without questioning his Master, he quickly gave up the Enchanted Orchid and desperately climbed up.
“It’s too late...,” Dongfang Niemie sighed helplessly. “I should’ve thought of it earlier. There is always a Wind Shadow Demon Snake wherever there is an Enchanted Orchid.”
Yang Dingtian turned slowly and saw a four-to-five-meter-long snake gradually revealing itself. It had a horrific appearance. It was flapping its wings and floating in the air, staring at Yang Dingtian.
Wind Shadow Demon Snake, wind-type beast. It could turn invisible, fly, and attack from a distance.
