Chapter 1302: Black-eyed Nine Heads
Killing a True Saint and taking their broken Great Dao fragments as compensation!
If it was to make an apology, this was definitely filled with sincerity as the air descended into silence.
Rumble –
Heaven Thunder rumbled from above as black clouds tumbled in. This was a natural phenomenon in the Vast Brightness when a True Saint fell. A horrifying aura rolled in the air, making everyone shake in fear!
The Heaven Thunder, or as it could also be called, Vast Brightness Punishment, did not fall in the end.
In the Sea of Bitterness, all the Saints’ emotions were fluctuating and their expressions kept changing.
Truthfully speaking, before this came to the end, no one would have been able to guess that the end result of three True Saints collaborating to attack the Peach Garden would be the Nether Saint being killed.
Three True Saints joined hands and could not even deal with the Peach Garden. Now, only the Scholartree Saint and Thousand Saint were left. Even if they joined them, the outcome was not certain.
Moreover, the Saints suddenly realized that they had missed out one very important thing – Qin Yu was not a True Saint! That meant that even if they joined hands to command the Sea of Bitterness, although they could become a threat to the Spring Master, they would not be able to touch Qin Yu.
Moreover, from what just occurred, he had proven his capabilities. When facing Qin Yu, who was not controlled by the pressure of the Sea of Bitterness, if they really started fighting they would definitely suffer massive injuries.
It was obvious that in order to prevent the Spring Master from being pressured, Qin Yu would strike first and attack the Half-Saints who summoned the Sea of Bitterness.
So what Qin Yu just said about a True Saint’s Great Dao as compensation…it was also a warning to them.
It could also be translated as the Peach Garden showing good faith, and that they should just take it or suffer the consequences.
This sentence sounded kind but was actually very firm!
There was a price to pay to become a Saint Slayer. The Spring Master’s Peach Flower Attack was extremely horrifying but he could not just use it all the time. He would pay a huge price for using it. If the two True Saints joined hands, the probability of finishing the Peach Garden off was greater.
But as previously mentioned, before the Peach Garden was wiped out, at least half of these people would die…no one could predict if they would be the one to die.
Moreover, once they suffered huge injuries and couldn’t withstand the entry of the Sea of Bitterness, the remaining ones would be powerless to split the rewards.
Although the Great Dao fragments of the Nether Saint were not as good as what the Peach Garden got, there was no doubt that they were still extremely valuable…was there a need to consider further? Mister Ninth of the Peach Garden was good!
Of course, the Heaven Thunder continued to rumble but did not befall them. This was an important factor in the decisions of the Saints.
All the Saints took a deep breath and shouted in a low tone, “Okay!”
Boom –
Boom –
Energy was emitted from them one by one as they formed a huge hand to grab onto the Great Dao fragments resembling blood jade.
In the darkness, Thousand Saint’s face was pale. He tried to gain an advantage but ended up worse off today.
The Nether Saint was dead, all the other saints were retreating, and only him and the Scholartree Saint from Western Mountain were left. After so long, the Spring Master was actually able to summon the Peach Flower Saint Swallower…if he could do it once, who knew whether he could do it a second time under dire circumstances?
The darkness flew far away and the aura of Thousand Saint rapidly disappeared.
The Scholartree Saint coughed lightly. His condition was no better than the Spring Master’s. There was a dense look in his eyes as he stared at Qin Yu before turning and taking a step out into the air that had split open.
With this, the Saint battle had finally ended!
Qin Yu waved, “Master, should we leave?”
The Spring Master looked at him. Raising his hand, he touched the air in front of him. The air vibrated and a wooden door formed in mid air.
Swoosh –
The sound of someone cutting through air could be heard as second apprentice brother brought elder apprentice brother and seventh apprentice sister over. He greeted respectfully, “Greetings, Master.”
The Spring Master stepped through the door, “Let’s go.”
“Elder apprentice brother, second senior-apprentice brother, seventh senior-apprentice sister, please!” Qin Yu gestured with his hands.
Seventh apprentice sister turned to look at the Saints who were still fighting for the Great Dao fragments and an indignant look filled her eyes. It was obvious that the Peach Garden was the one that defeated the Saint, yet they had to give away a good portion of their reward. These were the fragments of a True Saint’s Great Dao!
Every piece would make any Half-Saint and those below them go crazy.
Elder apprentice brother coughed lightly, “Thousand Faces, let’s go.”
Seventh apprentice sister pursed her lips and glanced at Qin Yu, “Okay.”
Helping elder apprentice brother, they stepped through the door.
Second apprentice brother waved, “Thank you junior-apprentice brother for today.” He opened his mouth before stopping himself as he shook his head, “Your performance today has really surprised me.”
He stretched out to pat Qin Yu’s shoulder before stepping into the peach wood portal door.
Was second apprentice brother reminding him?
It seems like after they returned to the Peach Garden, he had to think of something. It was better to keep what happened with the innate spirit a secret. Suppressing this thought temporarily, Qin Yu turned to look around. There were numerous gazes filled with fear and restraint.
But these people were thinking too much. Qin Yu had already gotten the biggest fragment of Great Dao. Even if he had not, he would not attack again.
Qin Yu fully understood what was meant by ‘having too much is as bad as not having enough’. He had already taken the reward from the Lost Garden and had to give out some kind of compensation in order to change the mindset of the Saints.
If he were really greedy and wanted to take everything, he would force everyone into going against him.
The gains would not make up for the losses then!
He glanced obscurely over to where the Lost Garden was. Qin Yu then turned to leave, his silhouette disappearing through the portal.
Everyone who saw this breathed a sigh of relief.
Thousand Saint and Western Mountain’s Scholartree Saint had left. If the Peach Garden did not keep to their promise, they would not face much resistance. But it looked like the Peach Garden did not have the intention to go back on their word.
“This fragment is mine!”
“Get lost, it is in my hands so it is mine!”
“If you continue to argue with me, don’t blame me for not being polite!”
Rumble –
The fight for the fragments of the Nether Saint’s Great Dao became even more intense.
In another direction, Dragon Mountain Half-Saint was pressed onto the floor. He was trying his best to hide his aura and increase the speed of his body.
In the moment that Qin Yu left, he did not hesitate as he escaped. He was now quite a distance away from the battleground.
Dragon Mountain Half-Saint was quite lucky and a big fragment happened to fly in front of him. Without waiting for any other Half-Saints to fight him for it, he quickly put it away.
He could no longer return to Dragon Mountain Holy Land. He knew that the only reason he was alive was because he was one of the Half-Saints who could summon the Sea of Bitterness, and Qin Yu did not want to complicate things further and hence let him go.
But the animosity was already there. As the saying goes, if you fight a tiger and don’t successfully kill it, you will definitely get hurt. Moreover, it was against the Peach Garden.
Now, his best option was to travel as far as he could. Until he could find a strong enough backing, he simply had to hide from the world.
But he still had a chance. This was a Great Dao fragment of the Nether Saint that he held in his hands. With this, maybe he would be able to catch a glimpse of the shore and cross the Sea of Bitterness to become a True Saint.
When the time came, as long as he was willing to settle down somewhere, he would naturally be able to sleep peacefully and not fear the threat from the Peach Garden.
Mmhm. Like this. After leaving here, he would find a safe place to seclude himself. If he did not become a True Saint, he would never show himself.
Just as this thought landed, Dragon Mountain Half-Saint’s eyes widened and his mouth opened as if to grumble. However, he realized that not a sound came out. His entire body was frozen and the shock and fear within him increased. Another shadow walked out from the shadow beneath Dragon Mountain’s feet.
Once known as the chief disciple of Western Mountain, the famous Nine Heads walked out. Now, he had no expression and his eyes were pitch black, as if connected to a never-ending abyss…or maybe in this pair of eyes, it was reflecting the Shadow of the Abyss!
Under Dragon Mountain Half-Saint’s fearful eyes, Nine Heads reached out and grabbed his neck. He tightened his grip and with a crack, he broke his neck. With this, he ended Dragon Mountain Half-Saint’s life.
In the next moment, he was swallowed in darkness. After the darkness trembled around his corpse for a while, it returned to Nine Heads’ body. Dragon Mountain Half-Saint’s corpse had completely vanished. It was as if the darkness disintegrated and merged his body into Nine Heads.
With delight flashing in his eyes, the black color darkened. Nine Heads turned to look at the battleground of the Saints and a hint of hesitation filled him. At this moment, he suddenly frowned and stepped forward. Like an illusion, he vanished.
Rumble –
The thunder from the heavens finally poured down. The Saints who were fighting for Great Dao fragments were shocked. They all turned to look up. The sound of thunder reached the ground and they all looked confused.
The Spring Master had already left. This heavenly punishment was a bit slow…moreover, the accuracy was also quite far off!
