Chapter 98: Consider the Presence of This Sword as Myself, Bring Back Your Great Senior Brother (III)
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Now, this was their only chance to kill the Fiend Cultivator.
With that in mind, Luo Jianqing clutched his fists and spat out a mouthful of blood on Floating Frost Sword. Suddenly, the cold sword shined and lotus patterns began to appear on it. Although blood was oozing out from his mouth, Luo Jianqing enchanted faster. Finally, before the Skeleton Sword hit him, Luo Jianqing raised the Floating Frost Sword and blocked the attack.
“Blossom Lotus Sword, seize the karma!”
A lotus with four petals blossomed gradually and abruptly dashed towards the Fiend Cultivator.
This attack had exceeded the limit of Nascent Soul cultivator, so even a normal Out-of-Body cultivator might die of it. The Fiend Cultivator had been seriously wounded and dared not to confront this attack directly. He hurriedly raised his sword in hope of blocking it, but that lotus made a turn and hit right on his head.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Fiend Cultivator roared painfully.
He didn’t know what happened, as he could not see those lines of karma above his head. These threads were terribly dense and each one carried enormous hatred. Each blameless victim was eager to strip the Fiend Cultivator’s alive and ate his flesh.
“Give my life back!”
“I’m gonna kill you! I’m gonna kill you…”
“Why did you kill me, why did you kill me? Give my life back!”
The Fiend Cultivator felt that he heard a lot of voices, but these voices were not from the innocent victims. They had been dead for long and now they were just wandering ghosts without any consciousness, so they couldn’t talk. These voices came from the victims’ lingering hatred in those lines.
A happy family suddenly got ridden to death, and their bright future disappeared in an instant.
If their hatred could be materialized, the Fiend Cultivator might have already been smashed into thousand pieces!
Now, as the “Blossom Lotus Sword” showed all the karmas, the hatred from these karmas was like a fire, burning the primordial life of the Fiend Cultivator.
He kept crying desperately but unable to escape the hatred in the lines.
Luo Jianqing suffered from the backfire of “Blossom Lotus Sword”. He felt a chest pain and blood kept running from his mouth. He wiped off a trickle of blood with his hand and cautiously gazed at the Fiend Cultivator who seemed to have gone mad.
“I killed you because you were weak!”
“You were weak so you ended up as my prey!”
“It’s your own fault that you don’t cultivate to become immortal. I’m immortal! I’m immortal!”
The Fiend Cultivator had been driven crazy and cried painfully. His eyes were bloodshot and he had been totally insane. He still held his Skeleton Sword tightly. When he happened to see Luo Jianqing, he shouted furiously, “I’m gonna kill you!!!”
The next second, he raised the sword and rushed towards Luo Jianqing.
Luo Jianqing raised his sword and was about to block the attack, but that Fiend Cultivator suddenly stopped at ten meters away from Luo Jianqing.
A scarlet whip penetrated his head, from the back to the middle of his eyebrows. The Fiend Cultivator turned around slowly with eyes wide open and saw another Fiend Cultivator in red standing behind him. He couldn’t believe what happened and said hoa.r.s.ely, “This… this Fiend Whip… You’re… Fiend… Fiend…”
Mo Qiu whipped again, and this time the whip penetrated the Fiend Cultivator’s throat and finally killed him!
Mo Qiu wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth and took the black-and-scarlet whip back into the Interspatial Ring. Luo Jianqing had seen this whip before. Mo Qiu used it to kill the Gold Sun Heaven Live Flood Dragon, yet he hadn’t seen Mo Qiu take it out after that. This was the second time he used it.
It was not an ordinary powerful instrument. Luo Jianqing somehow felt that it was at least a heaven-level instrument.
Luo Jianqing knew that Mo Qiu possessed a lot of instruments, but as his friend, he wouldn’t go to ask him anything about it if Mo Qiu didn’t talk about it.
He wouldn’t ask him anything about this whip, nor about how he became the cadre of the Fiend Palace.
After they killed the Body Fusion Fiend Cultivator, all three of them felt exhausted and fell to the bottom.
They didn’t care about how deep it was. They fell on the ground and punched a large crater. Lying in the crater, they looked at the sky.
They sky was as blue and clear as it was tens of millions of years before. It wouldn’t be changed by the fact that a Fiend Cultivator killed hundreds of thousands of people, or the fact that three brilliant men killed that brutal Fiend Cultivator.
A mild breeze drifted the clouds away. Luo Jianqing suddenly laughed out, so did Mo Qiu. Even Fo Zi, who was always gentle, also followed suit.
Luo Jianqing said, “Without you, I would have died today.”
Mo Qiu said, “I’m glad you know that I have saved you many times.”
Fo Zi said slowly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t help you a lot.”
Luo Jianqing shook his head, “It was your enchantment that trapped that Fiend Cultivator into his own karma.”
Mo Qiu laughed, “It seems that you really have some strength.”
Fo Zi beamed, “Well, I have to admit it now.”
They laughed out again.
They just lay in that crater still for three days. When they restored their spiritual power, Fo Zi stood up first, then Mo Qiu also stood up reluctantly, while Luo Jianqing still lay down there.
Mo Qiu’s lips twitched. He walked to Luo Jianqing and was about to say something, but was shocked.
He saw a handsome cultivator in blue looking up at the sky and a trickle of resplendent galaxy reflected in his clear eyes, giving out marvelous light. Luo Jianqing gazed at the starry sky quietly. After a long time, he said in a low voice, “Mo Qiu, the sky has witnessed the rise and fall of countless talented young men. Is the natural law really so merciless?”
A smile appeared on Mo Qiu’s beautiful face. He sneered, “What? Now you become sentimental?”
Luo Jianqing replied calmly, “I just feel the natural law is unfair. It has given some people so many things that they don’t deserve.”
“Mo Qiu smiled: “Like what?”
Luo Jianqing continued, “Like, some people don’t make any efforts but attain a lot of precious instruments.”
Mo Qiu said casually, “Then you can overthrow the natural law.”
Luo Jianqing didn’t know how to respond.
