Chapter 497: Honor (Part 1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation 1 Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Although Bao Peimin respected Sun Miao, every expert was driven by the desire and greed to become stronger. As long as something attractive enough was placed in front of them, those n.o.ble and lofty ideals meant nothing!
Suddenly, Sun Miao smiled. There was a hint of coldness in his smile. “Bao Peimin, you’re thinking too simply. This kid has such a strong killing intent and an arrogant personality. Can you guarantee that he will really listen to us?”
“He has such power, and yet you think that he will still be willing to be a
guardian? That’s impossible.”
“However, this kid might really be able to do something for Huaxia. This kid is so young, yet has managed to cultivate to such a level. He definitely has encountered a great opportunity, and is hiding a huge secret!
-Bao Peimin, do you think our strength will increase if we obtain this secret? At that time, will we be able to do more for Huaxia”
Hearing these sinister words, Bao Peimin’s expression changed completely. “Old Sun, what’s the difference between you and Fang Zhenye then? You’re kicking him when he’s down!”
“Kicking him while he’s down?” Sun Miao smiled and did not say anything else.
Instead, he walked toward Ye Chen step by step.
Beside him were a few guardians exuding terrifying auras.
Soon, Sun Miao arrived in front of Ye Chen. He glanced at Ye Chen, whose body was completely covered in sweat and drenched. It was obvious that the true qi in Ye Chen’s body had been exhausted.
“You’re seriously injured,” he said condescendingly, “To be honest, I’m really curious. After disappearing for a few years, how did you make the leap from an ordinary person to where you are now?
Ye Chen raised his head and glared at Sun Miao. He said coldly, “What does that have to do with you?”
Sun Miao placed his hands behind his back and continued, “I’m not as murderous as Fang Zhenye. I’ll give you a choice and a chance.”
“First, hand over the Soul Suppressing Sword. It belongs to Jiang Dao Mountain, and you can’t take it away. Of course, I also want your blood, since the Soul Suppressing Sword recognized you as its master.
“Second, hand over your sword techniques and all your secrets. “Third, your cultivation will be crippled. From now on, you can’t cultivate. I’ll send someone to send you down the mountain, and this is on account of Bao Peimin.”
Greed! Desire!
Ye Chen’s secret was too attractive to him, and was more than enough to make him discard his morals.
Pah!
Ye Chen spat out a mouthful of blood.
Sun Miao had been waiting for this moment. Regardless of the outcome, he
was the biggest winner.
Sun Miao’s body surged with true qi.
“Young man, even though you have the Soul Suppressing Sword, your current injuries are too great. Do you think you can still erupt with the power you had just now? Let alone me, even any ordinary person can kill you.”
“But then again, you’ve given me too many surprises. A unity realm expert who killed ten guardians. You’re definitely the first person in history to accomplish this feat.”
“I’ll give you ten seconds to consider. Even if you don’t say it, I’ll think of a way
to get it. Ten, nine, eight…”
Sun Miao counted down. He was certain that he had Ye Chen in his grasp. Ye Chen gritted his teeth and stood up straight. He stared coldly at Sun Miao and said, “You hypocritical b*stard!”
Sun Miao frowned when he heard this. Then, he unleashed a palm strike! Ye Chen wanted to stop it but found that it was impossible to move. His whole body felt as heavy as lead!
The previous battle had exhausted his true qi and strength, so he could raise the Soul Suppressing Sword to block the strike.
Bang!
Sun Miao’s palm struck the Soul Suppressing Sword. Although it offset some of the force, given Ye Chen’s current state, he could not mount much of a resistance.
He was sent flying, and crashed heavily into the ground.
Puchi!
The mouthful of blood that Ye Chen had been holding back could no longer be suppressed. Ye Chen’s face instantly turned pale.
Although a few tombstones in the Samsara Graveyard were close to being triggered, they were still not ready.
If he could break through now, he would still have a chance of survival. However, would Sun Miao give him that opportunity? No!
At this moment, the aura of death finally swept toward Ye Chen.
“Hmph! You still dare to act arrogantly in your condition? Do you really think you have a choice? If you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll take it by force!” Sun Miao’s lips curled into a mocking smile as he looked at Ye Chen, who was gasping for breath.
As he sensed the strong killing intent sweeping his way, Ye Chen’s heart sank. It was as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat, suffocating him. In the distance, Bao Peimin struggled desperately against the restraints around his body. He did not even hesitate to burn a portion of his cultivation!
His entire body seemed to be wrapped in flames!
Kacha!
With a bang, he finally freed himself. Then, ignoring everything, he grabbed his sword and stood in front of Ye Chen!
His eyes were filled with anger. He was ashamed to be a guardian!
“Sun Miao, I once respected you! Why are you making things so difficult for a junior?”
“Can you really call yourself a guardian when you’re acting so despicably?
Where is your honor?”
“If you really want to deal with Ye Chen, you have to step over my dead body first!”
At this moment, Bao Peimin was extremely determined. This was not the path he wanted to go down. It was shameful!
A thousand years ago, a peerless expert had been born in his Bao family, and he took justice as his Dao! When evildoers encountered his ancestor, they had to run and hide!
Justice was the weapon of this ancestor, and it had been ingrained into every descendant of the Bao family. This ancestor’s name was called Bao Xiren! Bao Peimin had joined the guardians because he wanted to inherit his ancestor’s legacy and protect Huaxia!
Therefore, how could he stomach being lumped together with this group of villains?
Sun Miao looked at Bao Peimin and sneered, “Bao Peimin, you’re already injured as well. Do you really think you can stand against me? I can kill you too, you know..”
