Chapter 846 - 795: Bloodbath in the Martial Arts World?

"Put away that moth-to-flame mindset of yours!"

Just as Li Tiandao finished speaking.

Sensing the three God Realm forces interweaving together, Demi Immortal Qilian suddenly turned and frantically roared at the monk and others.

"Demi Immortal, are you still yourself?"

Under Qilian’s roar.

The three God Realm forces blossomed swiftly and faded just as quickly.

The idle person gritted his teeth and looked at Qilian, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Where did the Demi Immortal who held back over a dozen Onmyoji outside of the Shanhai Pass go back then?"

"Where did the Demi Immortal, who endured thirty-three Ninja Poison Blades and still refused to kneel, go back then?"

"Where did the Demi Immortal, who faced Orochi under dire circumstances to secure a battle opportunity for us, go back then?"

"Ah!!! Tell me, where did he go, where on earth did he go!"

Guzzling down the strong liquor from his pouch.

The old drunkard sprayed the liquor and cried hysterically, questioning.

"You told us back then, ’I’d rather die than kneel!’ You said this was the Guardian Institute’s creed, principles we had to follow! But now, Demi Immortal, you’ve changed, changed to the point you feel unfamiliar, even frightening!" The monk spoke with gritted teeth, forcing himself to remain calm.

"One minute left!"

Uninterested in hearing sentimental recollections, Li Tiandao coldly gave the final time limit.

"No time, no time! I wish to see the light of day again! I wish to escape the shackles of the God Realm! I long for the opportunity of pursuing the elusive Vast World! Please, I bear no ill will towards you! I only ask for your help, both for myself and for you! He is the son of the Heavenly Dao, destined for greatness! To seek that Vast World, to pursue that elusive Immortal Path, we have no choice, no choice, do you understand!"

As if racing against time, Demi Immortal Qilian frantically shouted.

"Thirty-five!" Behind Li Tiandao, Xiao Er began the countdown.

"Thirty-four!"

"Thirty-three!"

The countdown voice of Xiao Er was like a soul-reaping urge.

With every passing second, Demi Immortal Qilian’s body trembled more violently.

He knew that if Li Tiandao did not get the answer he wanted.

The fate of the five of them would be beyond doubt!

"Help me, just pretend you’re helping me. Blind for thirty-seven years and a hundred and sixty-five days, I’m afraid if I continue to be blind my heart will be blind as well! This has become my Heart Demon, if I can’t resolve it, all that awaits me is an existence worse than death! Help me, won’t you? I, Demi Immortal Qilian, have never begged before, now I’m begging you, begging you all!"

Within Xiao Er’s countdown, Demi Immortal Qilian continued to scream desperately.

"Fifteen seconds left!"

The countdown continued.

But Qilian’s desperate cries came to a halt.

At this point, he accepted his fate!

The final decision was still in the hands of the four of them.

Between life and death, he couldn’t manipulate their choices.

"You’re pushing us into the Hell Abyss! Into the Hell Abyss!"

The wine pouch hit the ground, and the old drunkard’s hysterical roar erupted again.

After liberation, he hadn’t shed a tear, but now he became a person of tears!

Listening to the old drunkard’s roar, Demi Immortal Qilian’s face was filled with endless shame.

He knew he was being selfish.

And a frenzy of selfishness that had lost all principles and boundaries.

If not for him, the monk, Taoist, idle person, and drunkard would simply be bystanders.

They wouldn’t be forced by Li Tiandao to make a choice between life and death!

It was him who, for the sake of his eyes, dragged them into the fray.

It was him who, for the sake of the elusive Immortal Path he longed for, pushed them into the endless Hell Abyss!

He’s ashamed, he hates himself, but he doesn’t regret.

Because from thirty-seven years ago, he had no choice!

All he could console himself with was that human nature is inherently selfish.

"Ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight!"

Xiao Er began the final countdown.

But at this moment, the summit of Kunlun Mountain fell into silence.

Besides the countdown, neither Demi Immortal Qilian nor the four made any sound.

"Seven!"

"Six!"

"Five!"

At this point.

Demi Immortal Qilian’s hands suddenly clawed deeply into the ground.

He didn’t want to die, nor did he want to remain blind!

This centenarian faced the most soul-wrenching torment!

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

Bam-!

Bam bam-!

Bam bam bam-!

Bam bam bam bam-!

In the instant before Xiao Er shouted the final one.

Four distinct thuds sounded.

At the last moment.

The monk, Taoist, drunkard, and idle person succumbed and knelt!

It wasn’t out of fear of death.

But because of Demi Immortal Qilian’s plea to help him!

For dignity, they could choose a moth-to-flame end.

But aside from dignity, they hadn’t forgotten their lives belonged to Demi Immortal Qilian.

Without Demi Immortal Qilian, who knows how many reincarnations they would’ve survived.

This kneel, even knowing it crushed a lifetime’s dignity, was to repay the debt they owed him, leaving them no choice!

"Master!"

As their knees touched the icy stone surface.

The four gritted their teeth and uttered these two words.

"The wise understand timely choices, very well! Congratulations, from this moment, you embrace rebirth!"

With a Shura-like smile.

Li Tiandao, with a sinister grin, spoke playfully.

"What do we need to do?"

Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth as the idle person spoke, from clenching his teeth too tightly.

"Nothing much! Just cleanse the current Martial Arts World with blood!"

As if speaking of something trivial, Li Tiandao grinned.

Cleanse the current Martial Arts World?

With Li Tiandao’s words.

Even Demi Immortal Qilian was stunned, his mind going blank!

Turning the Martial Arts World into a Shura battlefield?

Insane, insane, is he out of his mind!

What grudge?

What enmity?

A son of the Heavenly Dao capable of slaughtering God Realm masters actually wants to clash with the Martial Arts World?

Besides insanity, neither Demi Immortal Qilian nor the others could find a reasonable explanation!

"Although on the surface, the current Martial Arts World in Huaxia seems to be in a phase where Transformation Realm masters dare to claim thrones, hidden beneath are still more formidable God Realm experts! Cleansing the entire Martial Arts World is impossible, we lack such power! Comparatively, how is this different from killing us now?"

The old drunkard couldn’t hold back his angry shout.

"Are you questioning your master? Do you lack the insight of being a dog? Or is there a disobedient dog before me?"

Gazing down at the old drunkard, Li Tiandao’s sinister killing intent radiated.

"Master, please calm down!!!" Demi Immortal Qilian hurriedly trembled out.

The former Guardian Institute Director.

The former King of Martial Arts.

Who would imagine he would choose to sink to such humility?

Thinking of Demi Immortal Qilian’s past, his once heroic and righteous demeanor.

Undeniably, it was too ironic!

"Hehe, forget it!"

Withdrawing the killing intent.

Li Tiandao smiled playfully.

Then, with a rising corner of his mouth, he continued.

"I naturally know there are coiled dragons and crouching tigers hidden away, but did you hear my words clearly? Did I say to cleanse the entire Martial Arts World?"
