Chapter 1193: It’s Over? No!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This d.a.m.n old fellow is already getting satisfied after being praised a little bit? Did you think that this kind of opportunity is easy for this daddy to meet? How can you stop just because you want to? Truly unbearable!
Unable to bear the anger and unable to absorb the energy, it naturally began to crazily absorb Ji Bo Wen’s life force and soul energy instead! F*ck, how dare you spoil this Old Master’s plans! This Lord Sword will destroy your spirit!
Ji Bo Wen naturally understood his own body the best. As he felt his energy draining away rapidly, he instantly turned green and roared in his mind. Abandon the body! After that, he revolved his cultivation rapidly and tried to form a Holy Infant, aiming to live and exact revenge another day…
However, he discovered to his despair that his own body was no longer under his own control anymore! That terrifying sword had already stabbed into the position of his dantian at an unknown time and pierced through his Holy Infant. With an indescribably fast speed, it was absorbing his life essence and soul energy.
The Holy Infant was an existence that didn’t have any forms and was practically impossible to be harmed by any physical thing. But right now, it was actually pierced through like skewed meat… without any abilities to escape!
Ji Bo Wen had the opportunity to escape earlier, but hadn’t done so. Now that he wanted to do that, he could no longer escape!
The reason for this peculiar situation was simple. The Blood of Yellow Flame’s abilities had far surpa.s.sed Ji Bo Wen’s after it had absorbed so much Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi!
Furthermore, all that energy had pa.s.sed through Ji Bo Wen’s body and the attributes of that energy was practically the same. With the Blood of Yellow Flame’s current strength, Ji Bo Wen could only be sucked dry without being able to move a single finger. Any resistance was pointless at this time!
And so, under everyone’s gaping eyes, an extremely strange scene played out!
Ji Bo Wen’s body rose into the air, staying fixedly there for a moment, before deflating with a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly turning into a dried corpse. Then, it continued to shrink until finally, with a slight poof sound, it was as if someone had accidentally let out a silent fart, and the entire body completely disappeared into thin air!
The Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi also finally stopped churning chaotically!
Only a single sword, gleaming with a cold light, hung in the air!
This shocking development caused everyone to be completely dumbstruck!
What’s happening?
A moment ago, they clearly saw that Ji Bo Wen was preparing to self detonate. No, it should be that he had already begun the process of self detonation! And everybody had even escaped several hundred zhang away to avoid it. But who would have thought that this self detonation of a Saint Monarch expert, would be weaker than a silent fart. At the very least, the latter would still leave a bad smell…
What the h.e.l.l was this, ah!
Just as everyone was still staring uncertainty at the scene before their eyes, the sword in the sky suddenly trembled and cried aloud! Everyone felt as if they were in a dream: That sword’s cry was actually extremely human-like! It sounded like it was extremely satisfied! Such a feeling was extremely magical!
A sword was actually able to display such human-like emotion?
Also, that sword’s cry even had a sense of how a human would burp in satisfaction after eating a good meal…
Following that, this sword shot into the sky and an incomparably dazzling swordlight burst out from it, as if it were a pillar supporting the heavens and earth! The swordlight was as thick as a house, and several hundred zhang long! Far off, a large hole was punched through a mountain!
After that, this sword finally flew down and returned to Jun Mo Xie’s hand, twirling around him like a spoilt little child…
Then, it just disappeared abruptly… completely without a trace!
After eating to its fill, it naturally needed to go and digest properly. That was the case for a human or a sword…
A sharp glint flashed across Jun Mo Xie’s eyes. Who would have thought that the Blood of Yellow Flame would have benefited so greatly this time! No wonder it could not wait to dive into the Hongjun PaG.o.da to digest…
The amount of energy it’d absorbed was undoubtedly huge, and the quality of the energy was not bad as well. Of course, this ‘not bad’ was also relative. Compared to the energy in the Blood of Yellow Flame’s body, there was still some difference. There was even less need to compare it to the pure energy in the Hongjun PaG.o.da. So, it was still necessary to continue refining the newly absorbed energy, ridding the impurities in order to turn it into the most perfect energy!
And doing this in the Hongjun PaG.o.da would greatly shorten this process!
This was the first time the Blood of Yellow Flame had entered the Hongjun PaG.o.da on its own initiative from the time it’d formed its sword spirit! Before this, it would behave like a playful child once it came out, extremely unwilling to return without coaxing.
At this time, the battle results were clear!
The three Saint Venerables and two Saint Emperors who’d luckily avoided being frozen by the Xuan Ice and burned to ashes were all standing dumbly by the side, as thought their souls had already fled from their bodies. From start to end, they had never moved at all!
Gu Han’s face was extremely complicated as he led everyone and walked over.
Jun Mo Xie stood up slowly, his face as white as a sheet of paper. His five viscera and six bowels ached as if they’d been torn apart, and his head felt as if it was being stabbed by countless tiny little knives. All his meridians felt as if they were about to collapse completely. His bones seemed to be on fire.
But Jun Mo Xie’s face was still as calm and emotionless as before. His back was straight, and he looked refined as a painting.
“Senior Gu, you don’t look too good, ah. The grand battle is before us; we should have a good rest first. Senior Gu’s strength could be said to be the top in Xuan Xuan, and it would be a great detriment to our continent’s side if you cannot partic.i.p.ate due to sickness.” Jun Mo Xie said with a faint smile.
Doesn’t look too good? He had watched 42 of his brothers being killed in front of him, and he could not stop the tragedy at all. How would Gu Han’s expression be good right now?
And what dogsh*t ‘top in Xuan Xuan’ was that? If he was truly the ‘top in Xuan Xuan’, would this brat dare to be so arrogant? As for resting… where would he have the mood to rest right now? Not to mention that he wasn’t sick; even if he was sick, he must still endure! Even if he had to die, he must only do so in the decisive war against the strange races!
Truthfully, the respect that Jun Mo Xie held towards Gu Han was indeed from his heart. From that sunken look on his face and that bloodied lip from clenching his teeth too hard, it was easy to see. How would Gu Han not feel anything about those brothers of his? He’d known them for hundreds of years as well! He cared about them, and he cared very deeply about them!
However, for the sake of the big picture, Gu Han still chose to watch helplessly by the side!
This was not cowardice. It was a rare and difficult courage!
The pain and struggle in Gu Han’s heart was definitely not inferior to Xia Chang Tian! In fact, it might be even more fervent!
At least, Xia Chang Tian still had an outlet to vent his feelings, saying whatever he wanted to say and do what he wanted to do. But Gu Han could only bury everything into his heart and force a smile onto his face!
Ultimately, it was his brothers who’d done wrong first, so they needed to bear responsibility! Against Jun Mo Xie’s power, for the sake of the continent, for the sake of the people, Gu Han could only close his eyes and do nothing!
Jun Mo Xie had already decided long ago that if Gu Han and the three Holy Lands truly stepped out to obstruct him and protect their own people, he would immediately take his troops and return to Tian Fa Forest without turning back!
What kind of joke would that be? Could it be that this daddy is mission bound to protect the continent? If I can’t even protect my brothers, how will I talk about protecting the whole world? Bullsh*t! ‘The good of the world? Even more bullsh*t!
Is this Young Master so bored as to use the lives of my brothers to crack jokes? Tian Fa has already given too much to this continent!
Still, Gu Han had not disappointed Jun Mo Xie again!
“Manor Lord Jun! It’s excessive! Too excessive! Your methods were too excessive!” Gu Han seemed to have aged a hundred years in a mere instant. His wrinkles, the white hair on his head, suddenly grew much more p.r.o.nounced. His previous graceful and elegant look had disappeared and he seemed like a completely different person.
“Excessive? Was it truly too excessive?” Jun Mo Xie smiled in a strange way. “No! It is still not sufficient!” He pointed at the remaining five people: “Aren’t those people still not dead?! The murderers had been brought to justice, but hadn’t those accomplices still not given me an account yet?”
“Manor Lord Jun, could it be that you will only be happy once you’ve killed them all??” Gu Han’s beard flew up in rage as he stared at Jun Mo Xie. “Jun Mo Xie, can’t you spare just a bit of thought for the upcoming grand battle? And save us a little more strength!”
Those words already bordered on pleading!
Hearing that, the rage in Jun Mo Xie’s heart rose again. Now you know how to think about the upcoming grand battle? Then why didn’t that Xia Chang Tian think about this earlier? If he’d lent his a.s.sistance, would the Eagle Tribe suffer such heavy losses? Would the eight Saint Venerable Seniors all perish? Would Eagle King have had to sacrifice himself?
But…
Jun Mo Xie stared silently back at Gu Han, none of them speaking.
Gu Han’s eyes were filled with pain, and a trace of imploration.
Jun Mo Xie’s heart moved, and he finally sighed lightly. “Since the main culprits have already died, I don’t have the interest to tangle around with small characters right now. I’ll let them off temporarily. But after the grand battle, these five must still give me an account! Such selfish and black hearted behaviours cannot be condoned no matter what!”
Saying that, he turned around swiftly and snorted. “I will not kill them for now! But if they are still alive after the battle, there are two choices. First, come before the graves of my brothers and take their own lives as atonement. Second, come before the graves of my brothers and kowtow to apologize! Of course, they can choose to escape into the deep mountains, and gamble on whether or not they will be able to escape my pursuit!”
