Chapter 102: Oh, Then Who Gave You The Courage?

Ming Yue’s eyes moved, and a faint smile appeared on her face. It was as refreshing as a spring breeze, moving…

“Okay…” Ming Yue’s heart warmed as she nodded, tacitly agreeing with Ye Qiu’s actions.

It had been a long time since she had enjoyed the feeling of being protected after her master passed away. She felt as if she was back to the time when she had just stepped onto the path of immortality and had become a disciple of an immortal sect. She’s looking forward to it…

“Let’s go.” Ye Qiu smiled and teleported towards the coast. Ming Yue followed closely behind.

At this moment, Tianji Zi was still fighting with Daoist Tiantong and Jiang Jiezhi and didn’t realize the danger at all. The Great Void Sword emitted an extreme light. Tianji Zi fought one against two and forced the two of them back. His expression became uglier and uglier. It was already very difficult for him to maintain his undefeated state when facing the two people who were also peak Cardinals and were known as great figures.

“Damn it! These two old things are too difficult to deal with. This can’t go on.” The more they fought, the more difficult it became. Tianji Zi already had the intention to retreat. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. Tianji Zi glared at Daoist Tiantong and said, “Daoist Tiantong, I have no enmity with you. Do you really want to fight me to the death? Do you know what will happen if you offend me?”

In the face of Tianji Zi’s threat, Daoist Tiantong smiled and said, “Tianji Zi, others may be afraid of you, but I am not. Don’t use that nonsense to threaten me. If you really have the ability, feel free to fight me.”

Tianji Zi’s face darkened as he mocked, “Hmph, laughable! Two shameless old things! Two against one. What kind of ability is that? If you have the guts, fight me one on one.”

Daoist Tiantong shrugged and said indifferently, “Don’t joke around. Do I need any shame to deal with you? Everyone in the world knows that you, Tianji Zi, are the most shameless and unscrupulous person in the world.”

“Bullshit…” Tianji Zi flew into a rage out of humiliation. Who the hell spread these rumors and slandered me?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Now that the situation had reached a stalemate again, Tianji Zi did not dare to take the initiative to attack. He could only wait for these two old men to reveal their flaws. But that possibility was almost zero.

As peak Cardinals, old monsters who had lived for so many years, how could such a stupid problem appear on them?

“Haha…”

Just as Tianji Zi was still troubled, a hearty laugh came from the horizon. A gray-robed old man slowly descended into this domain. What followed were many Cardinal realm experts, all of whom were elders of various famous mountains and holy lands. They all wanted a share since the Monarch’s tomb was open.

Tianji Zi looked at the gray-robed old man in the sky and suddenly revealed a surprised smile.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Tianji Zi, long time no see. I miss you.” Daoist Qingmiao descended from the sky and arrived beside Tianji Zi.

Tianji Zi was overjoyed. Just now, he was still troubled about how to deal with Daoist Tiantong and Jiang Jiezhi. He didn’t expect that help would come so quickly. This Daoist Qingmiao was one of his few good friends. He would definitely be able to turn the situation around with his arrival. He immediately replied, “So it’s Fellow Daoist Qingmiao. I was wondering who it was since I felt an astonishing pressure from afar. Fellow Daoist, your cultivation has improved a lot after not seeing you for so many years. Even I can’t see through you.”

As soon as Daoist Qingmiao arrived, Tianji Zi flattered him.

“Haha, you flatter me, compared to you, how would I dare to be rash with my insignificant cultivation. Fellow Daoist, you have done me a favor in the past. How can I sit back and do nothing when you are in trouble today?” Daoist Qingmiao waved his hand and expressed his intentions.

Tianji Zi was extremely happy. He didn’t make friends for nothing. They really help him at the critical moment.

“Good, good…” Tianji Zi laughed loudly, as if victory was already in his grasp. The two of them could be said to be good friends for many years. Seeing them standing together, Daoist Tiantong frowned and knew that something was wrong.

“Fellow Daoist Jiang, it seems like… there will be a bloody battle today.” Daoist Tiantong stroked his beard and smiled. The worry on his face was wiped away, and the fighting spirit in his heart became even more excited.

Jiang Jiezhi was as steady as a mountain. He had no expression when facing Daoist Qingmiao’s arrival. He only said, “I’m not afraid…”

“Haha, alright… We haven’t worked together for many years. How can we miss this rare opportunity?” Daoist Tiantong drew his sword domineeringly. A shocking pressure instantly covered the sky and earth. The peak-level Cardinal’s aura was no longer hidden. He shouted at Daoist Qingmiao, “Old Man Qingmiao, it’s time for you to pay for your sneak attack on me at the primordial mine back then…”

After that, Daoist Tiantong no longer wasted his breath and pulled out his sword to slash. In an instant, the sea region within a hundred miles churned. Blood mist filled the sky as the ferocious beasts fled from the abyss. This sword crossed time and space. It seemed slow, but it arrived in front of Daoist Qingmiao in an instant.

Daoist Qingmiao frowned and all the power in his body instantly erupted. With a wave of his sleeve, an overlord blade appeared in his hand and he blocked it. Unexpectedly, the power of Tiantong was too great and he was actually repelled. The two of them instantly fought.

On the other side, Tianji Zi looked fiercely at Jiang Jiezhi when he saw that Daoist Tiantong and Daoist Qingmiao had fought.

“Old thing, let’s see who else can help you this time…” With a furious shout, Tianji Zi instantly attacked. The Great Void Sword drew a sword art and slashed out.

Jiang Jiezhi was calm and composed. He instantly used Jake-Lake’s secret technique to reverse the situation and guide this sword energy elsewhere.

Jiang Jiezhi had thought that Tianji Zi would chase after him and was about to use a secret technique, but he didn’t expect him to suddenly withdraw and snatched the spiritual fruit from the tree at the edge of the cliff.

Jiang Jiezhi was instantly furious. “Old man, stand down.”

The palm that distorted the void instantly slapped towards Tianji Zi. Jiang Jiezhi’s body fused with the holy light, and in the sky, a green lotus slowly extended its vines, leading straight to the Heavenly Abyss.

“Green Lotus Precious Technique?”

The surrounding crowd was shocked. The Dao technique that Jiang Jiezhi used was Jake-Lake’s supreme inheritance, the Green Lotus Precious Technique. A green lotus spread through the ages. Although it was only a fragment, its power was not something ordinary secret techniques could compare to.

In this world, only the Heaven Mending Sect’s Heaven Mending Technique could contend against it.

Even Tian Jizi revealed a look of fear upon seeing this technique. The green lotus emitted an extreme holy light and a shocking power slapped over.

Bang…

The surrounding sea surged, and the huge mountain was actually reduced to dust by Jiang Jiezhi’s palm.

In an instant, the world was in chaos and dust was everywhere.

“Damn, isn’t this too intense?”

Everyone was dumbfounded. They had never seen a battle of this level. The two of them fought from the sky to the bottom of the sea.

Jiang Jiezhi was actually on par with the half-step Paragon realm Tianji Zi with the secret technique of the Green Lotus secret technique. However, the difference in cultivation slowly revealed its drawbacks as the battle progressed.

Soon, Tianji Zi regained the upper hand. However, it would be a little difficult to defeat Jiang Jiezhi.

“Old thing, you forced me. Don’t blame me.” After severing a green lotus vine, Tianji Zi retreated into the sea. Suddenly, a black aura spread out from the bottom of the sea. It slowly revealed its sharpness with an extremely strange source that could confuse one’s mind.

Jiang Jiezhi was shocked when he felt this ominous aura. “You… Why do you have this strange source?”

Jiang Jiezhi was shocked. Wasn’t Tianji Zi’s strange aura the source of this beast riot? Was he… infected too?

“Haha… Old Jiang, I didn’t want to tangle with you. You asked for it.” Tianji Zi gradually lost himself after fully erupting with the strange source in his body. His eyes emitted red light and he became abnormally violent.

Why did he have this power? This was his biggest secret. Not to mention Jiang Jiezhi, even the people closest to him didn’t know about this. Back then, when his life was about to be exhausted, Tianji Zi was still unable to break through the shackles to become a Paragon. He, who had a death wish, thought that his life was about to end.

Unexpectedly, he discovered this magical power in a crack at the edge of the uninhabited region. How could he care about the danger of being devoured at that time? As long as there was a trace of hope, he would grab it tightly like it was the last straw.

After discovering the strange source, Tianji Zi grafted this power onto his body. To his surprise, he discovered that his body was actually starting to recover. Not only that, after obtaining this power, his strength rapidly increased, reaching the Paragon realm.

However, the impact of this power was also very great. If he could not break through his shackles before he was completely corroded, he would completely become a walking corpse that only knew how to kill.

It could be said that Tianji Zi’s actions were extremely crazy. But he was such a crazy person. He would do anything to get what he wanted. So what if he really failed and became a demon?

His eyes were red and shining. A murderous intent instantly erupted. In an instant, Tianji Zi, who was covered in a strange aura, erupted with extreme power. It pierced through everyone’s mind, making it difficult for everyone present to raise their heads.

“This…”

“A Paragon?”

For a moment, everyone turned pale with shock.

Jiang Jiezhi was even more shocked in his heart. He stood rooted to the ground in a daze as he looked at Tianji Zi, who was gradually being devoured by something strange.

Daoist Tiantong swept Daoist Qingmiao away with his sword and turned around, preparing to help Jiang Jiezhi fight the enemy.

“Tiantong, your opponent is me.” How could Daoist Qingmiao let him do as he wished? He stopped him again.

On the other side, Tianji Zi stared coldly at Jiang Jiezhi after the strange source completely erupted. He could still take the initiative with his body because the strange corrosion was not very serious. He sneered. “Old thing, your death is here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Tianji Zi raised his sword and slashed over as if he had sucked dry the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. That sword strike from a Paragon tore through the sky, causing the void to tremble.

Jiang Jiezhi acted as if he was facing a great enemy. He instantly transformed into a green lotus and used the Green Lotus secret technique with all his might. Who would have thought that the secret technique that was known to be invincible would be broken by Tianji Zi with a single strike?

“Pfft…” Jiang Jiezhi retreated and spat out a mouthful of blood, falling from the sky. How could he, a peak Cardinal, resist the power of a Paragon?

Any secret technique was useless in front of absolute power.

“Haha…” Tianji Zi laughed out loud as if he had been possessed. He held his forehead and raised his sword with one hand. He shouted arrogantly, “Who else?”

The scene was silent. At this moment, everyone’s breathing became tense.

Just now, Tianji Zi’s strike had made them feel an extreme pressure. At this moment, no one dared to question him.

At this moment, a voice came from the horizon. It was like the sound of the Great Dao, long and distant. “There’s me…”

As soon as this voice appeared, it immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

“Who?”

At this time, there was actually someone who dared to challenge Tianji Zi. Did he not want his life?

Everyone looked at the Heavenly Abyss in shock. They saw the void distort. In an instant, a white figure slowly walked out of the void. As soon as this person appeared, the crowd instantly erupted.

“Ye Qiu…”

The person who came was none other than Ye Qiu. He walked over from the void, and an invisible sword intent erupted, fusing with the surrounding world. He approached step by step. Everyone could clearly feel a Paragon aura surrounding his body.

“This…”

“He has already broken through to the Paragon realm?”

The entire venue was in an uproar. Everyone looked at the white figure in the sky in disbelief. He was like a god as he stared at them. Even though he was in the Cardinal domain and Ye Qiu’s realm was suppressed, he didn’t hide his Paragon aura at all.

“I can’t believe it. How did this guy cultivate? It’s only been a few days, but he has already formed a Supreme Body?”

“I think he must have had an opportunity in the Monarch’s tomb.”

Everyone discussed spiritedly. Someone suddenly said, “Hehe, interesting! A Paragon versus a Pseudo Paragon. Let’s see who’s stronger.”

“Back then, Ye Qiu defeated Tianji Zi and shamed his Immortal Mountain. It will definitely be a highlight now that they’re settling the old and new grudges.”

The surrounding people retreated and gave the battlefield to Ye Qiu and Tianji Zi.

“Ye Qiu…” Tianji Zi’s face darkened and a wave of anger erupted from his heart when he saw Ye Qiu in the sky.

The humiliation of his life came from two people, and these two people were the masters of Violet Cloud Peak. That was Daoist Xuantian and Ye Qiu…

He lost control of the strange source in his body when he saw Ye Qiu appear. An even more astonishing power was accumulating and erupting.

The void beside Ye Qiu distorted again, and Ming Yue’s figure slowly walked out. She had just arrived and immediately discovered Tianji Zi’s heresy. She frowned and said, “This is… the source of strangeness?”

Ye Qiu looked at Tianji Zi with interest and said, “Interesting. I’ve studied this power for a period of time. Hmm… it’s very strong. However, the side effects were also very strong. If he was not careful, he might be devoured. Back then, I discovered the source of this power in a crack at the edge of the uninhabited region. I didn’t expect this old thing to discover it too. Moreover, it seems like he has already adapted to this strange source.” Ye Qiu muttered to himself thoughtfully. He did not feel uncomfortable at all when faced with this shocking pressure.

It had to be said that after absorbing this strange source, Tianji Zi’s strength had indeed increased by a major realm. Unfortunately, Ye Qiu was stronger…

If he had not broken through to the Paragon realm previously, he would probably have lost to the current Tianji Zi. However, it was different now. He had already broken through to the Paragon realm and formed a Supreme Body. His strength had greatly increased, and he was a true Paragon. Tianji Zi had only forcefully increased his strength with the help of the strange source. His body had not changed at all.

Ming Yue looked at Ye Qiu worriedly and instructed, “No matter what, you should be careful. This fellow has already been possessed and has become inhumane. If you can’t do it, don’t force yourself.”

Ye Qiu narrowed his eyes and turned around to look at Ming Yue. “Senior Sister, how do you know I can’t do it without trying?” Please, I’m super fierce.

Ming Yue blushed and glared at him angrily. “Why are you still joking at a time like this?”

“Haha…” Ye Qiu smiled and gave her a reassuring look. He smiled and said, “Senior Sister, just stand at the side and watch. Remember to stand further away. Be careful not to get blood all over you. That would be bad.”

Ming Yue rolled her eyes. Why did these words sound so strange?

Returning his gaze to Tianji Zi below, Ye Qiu slowly walked down. When he arrived at the sea level with Tianji Zi, he looked at Tianji Zi with interest.

“It’s only been a few days. How did you become like this?” Ye Qiu said seriously. When Tianji Zi heard this, his anger attacked his heart and his blood pressure rose.

Don’t you know why I became like this? Enraged, Tianji Zi looked coldly at Ye Qiu and said, “Kid, you came at the right time. Today, we will settle our old and new grudges together. Today, I will repay you a hundredfold for the humiliation you gave my Immortal Mountain.”

“Oh, who gave you the courage?” Ye Qiu didn’t mind. A meaningful smile appeared on his face as he slowly pulled out a sword.

In an instant, the world shook, and a shocking sword intent instantly dyed the sky. The sea surface churned, and the entire Monarch’s tomb began to tremble.

Unknowingly, a shocking immortal aura slowly seeped out, shocking everyone.

“F*ck… This is… an immortal sword?”

For a moment, everyone present was shocked.

The dim sky that had been dyed by the strange source also regained its light the moment this sword appeared.

Everyone was shocked that Ye Qiu actually had an immortal sword.

Jiang Jiezhi flew up from the bottom of the sea again. When he saw the immortal sword in Ye Qiu’s hand, he revealed a shocked expression.

“This guy actually has an immortal sword?”

He couldn’t believe that Ye Qiu had hidden so deeply.

Once this immortal sword appeared, not to mention Cardinals, even a peerless Paragon would not dare to act rashly in front of him. It was said that wealth should not be revealed. When Ye Qiu’s sword appeared, everyone’s eyes should be filled with greed.

But the opposite was true.

Damn it, do you think I’m an idiot? How dare you covet anyone’s treasure? If you want to die, go yourself. I’m not going. He is a Paragon, not to mention that he had an immortal sword in his hand. Even if they were a Paragon, they would die too. How dare you have thoughts about this sword? You’re courting death. Just like the Ginseng Fruit of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan, everyone had thoughts about the flesh of Tripitaka, but who had ever dared to have thoughts about the Ginseng Fruit?

The moment the Cloudy Heavens Sword appeared, the smile on Tianji Zi’s face gradually disappeared, and his expression stiffened. Facing this sword, even the strange aura in his body seemed to wither at this moment.

“This… is impossible.” Tianji Zi’s expression changed drastically. The only strange source that could compete with Ye Qiu was actually suppressed by the immortal sword in his hand.

Under his panicked gaze, Ye Qiu held his sword with one hand and walked over with a smile, as if he was looking at a pig near the end of the year.

It was time to kill it after raising it for a year.
