Chapter 1265: So Weak
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Although Qin Wentian wasn’t afraid of challenges, if everyone sought to pick on him because of his seventh-level cultivation base, and considering the fact that the vast majority here were at the peak of devil-foundation, it would undoubtedly be a huge burden due to the consumption of his energy reserves. Also if this was the case, he definitely wouldn’t be in his optimal condition when facing against Huang Shatian.
"You aren’t my opponent. Just leave." Qin Wentian quietly spoke. This person would be eliminated sooner or later and even if he doesn’t fight, others would do so. Undoubtedly, the best choice is making the enemies here retreat of their own will without needing to waste time and energy on a battle.
However, wanting to make a devil cultivator retreat just because of a single sentence was evidently impossible.
He only saw the lips of the devil cultivator curling up in a cold smile. Both his palms glinted with red light, radiating a bloody aura which reeked of danger.
Qin Wentian shook his head. As he willed it, a sword appeared in his hand.
The sounds of sword hums filled the air as an intense demonic qi gushed forth from it. Cold light sparkled on its edge and its razor sharpness gleamed with a pale luster, striking fear in the hearts of those who saw it.
"Using a divine weapon?" The devil cultivator’s eyes flashed. "You are not worthy to sit in the elite sector."
"Between devil cultivators, victory is everything. Who would care about rules?" Qin Wentian shook his head as the wings of a great roc manifested. With a flap, his body shuttled to the side, causing his opponent to have a look of astonishment on his face. Qin Wentian actually intended to flee and not battle?
"Shameless." That expert stepped out and pursued after, the black-colored light around him gleaming ominously.
Qin Wentian, who was in front, shook his head lightly at how obstinate this opponent was. He already took the initiative to retreat but this man still chose to pursue after.
"Bzz~" Qin Wentian abruptly turned. His speed was as fast as a wind roc as he rushed towards that person.
"Courting death!" The blood-colored palms of the devil cultivator suddenly enlarged and grabbed towards Qin Wentian. The red light radiating from the plans directly engulfed Qin Wentian completely.
"Puchi..." The light from the sword was like the cold and pale light of the moon. Qin Wentian drew aside, reappearing behind his opponent. His entire body simmered with fearsome law energy while a sword wound appeared on the body of his opponent.
A moment later, the sword qi in the wound directly erupted completely. His opponent had a look of terror on his face as he screamed in agony. He was being torn apart from the inside, until he became the void. He was completely dead before he even finished screaming.
From afar, there were two devil experts who coincidentally saw this scene. They didn’t advance forward but chose to sneak away silently. That single sword blow caused chills all over their bodies. It was best for them not to antagonize that fellow.
"Using swords to hide your true strength?" The Blackstone Devil King mused as he nodded in total agreement silently. This fellow was strong yet he chose to keep a low profile, even sparing at nothing to avoid battles. Although people would gossip, the Blackstone Devil King felt that he faintly understood Qin Wentian. This was because Qin Wentian had great ambition, he was doing all this for the last battle.
"This little fellow is truly interesting." Mo Ji’s beautiful eyes turned in the direction of Qin Wentian.
"He whipped out a divine weapon right from the start. Although he didn’t unleash any power from it, such an act isn’t the way a king should behave. Only Huang Shatian, killing whoever who blocked him with no questions asked, is truly a king on the path of devils, the epitome of tyranny. Such an aura isn’t what the young man with the sword could compare with." Old Xia Devil King spoke faintly. He still regarded Huang Shatian extremely highly.
Tyrannical and cold, killing those who blocked him. Only those with such qualities could be considered true devils who would grow stronger and stronger, eventually becoming the most powerful.
"There’s logic in Old Xia’s words." Mo Ji laughed. She was the Lord of the Celestial Devil Lodge and her personality was naturally extremely affable and pleasing to others. For the Celestial Devil Lodge being able to exist on the Fallen Devil Island, the backing of the devil emperor was an absolute necessity. Today, everyone saw how she leaned against the devil emperor. Who else would dare to touch the Celestial Devil Lodge in the future.
However, Mo Ji understood that there were some people whom she couldn’t afford to offend. An example was the Old Xia Devil King. This old man was someone who had a very heavy weightage in the devil emperor’s heart. She definitely wouldn’t offend him, hence, she has to agree with whatever he said.
"Look at Xia Yuan, he isn’t bad as well, he has the spirit of you from the yesteryears." The devil emperor laughed, his gaze fixed on Xia Yuan.
"Although Xia Yuan isn’t bad, he will still lose if he fought against Old Chai in a direct clash." The Old Xia Devil King furrowed his brows. Although he regarded Huang Shatian very highly, he naturally would pay more attention to the well-being of his descendant Xia Yuan.
Other than Xia Yuan and Huang Shatian, the other person he was paying attention to, was none other than Old Chai.
Old Chai had a rusty saber that seemed as though it was used for chopping firewood in his hand. He was always smiling and appeared old and harmless. But with every slash he made, the life of an opponent would be taken away. He killed people just like chopping firewood and nobody knew what the total number of experts who had fallen in his hands was.
Xia Yuan was tyrannical, Old Chai was sinister and cold-blooded. The Old Xia Devil King felt that Old Chai’s strength was better in his heart.
"However, if Old Chai encounters Huang Shatian, under the tyranny of the devil path, Old Chai would die undoubtedly." The eyes of the Old Xia Devil King gleamed with sharpness.
The beautiful eyes of Mo Ji flickered with a smile layered with deep intents. Given the status of the Old Xia Devil King, he actually hoped that such a powerful junior like Old Chai would die here.
Most probably, this was because both Xia Yuan and Old Chai were supreme figures on the Devil Rankings. And given how dangerous Old Chai was, he felt that Old Chai might be a danger to Xia Yuan.
However, Old Chai was also an intelligent man. He knew how strong Xia Yuan was, as well as his extraordinary background. How would he act against Xia Yuan easily.
The devil kings here were paying attention to different people, the majority focusing on the people they brought here with them. If their juniors could get into the top ten, the devil emperor would then have an impression of them. Such a matter could be considered extremely glorious.
And an even greater benefit was that they would be recognised by the devil emperor. The rewards granted were of secondary importance. The top ten would have the qualifications to join supreme powers on the Fallen Devil Island or even the sect directly under the devil emperor. If that was the case, the devil kings of the other islands would have someone as a point of contact on the Fallen Devil Island in the future.
Those currently fighting in the battle platform naturally wouldn’t think of so much. They were only thinking of how to obtain victory and to avoid being eliminated, lasting to the end. If someone of great talent was eliminated early, the devil emperor wouldn’t spare that person a second glance. And if such a person was killed, they could only blame their own luck.
Within the battle platform, battles erupted increasingly, like a rolling snowball that was building up momentum. There were even chaotic group battles and frequent ambushes occurring at every instant.
For example in that earlier battle of Qin Wentian, if he didn’t insta-kill his opponent, those two other devil experts would definitely want to take advantage of that, fishing for benefits in troubled waters.
While at a certain location, Azureflame Tuo was currently fighting against an opponent. As a peak devil-foundation cultivator of the Azureflame Clan, Azureflame Tuo’s strength naturally wasn’t bad. Although it wasn’t as outstanding as characters on the Devil Rankings, his combat prowess was still very tyrannical.
Devil might from him bubbled, his entire body seemed to be bathing in devil fire as his appearance resembled a Devil from the nine hells. The entire atmosphere turned scorchingly hot, flickering with redness. His powerful attacks clashed madly against his opponent and every attack which hit, would leave behind a devil flame seed in the wounds which opened up. His attacks would also feed off the fiery atmosphere, growing stronger and stronger with every passing moment.
"Tuo`er isn’t bad at all." In the sector of devil kings, the Azureflame Clan Lord nodded his head when he saw Azureflame Tuo’s performance.
"Blackstone, your daughter being able to get married into my clan, is undoubtedly her life’s greatest fortune." The clan lord spoke to the Blackstone Devil King who sat not faraway. Both of them were in-laws, he naturally was acquainted with the Blackstone Devil King.
"Clan Lord might not know of this, the Blackstone Devil King has always been unhappy with regards to the marriage. Right now, he brought his younger daughter to our clan and this younger daughter of his was even more beautiful compared to her elder sister. However, the younger one has a fiery temper and basically shows no respect to her brother-in-law at all. I heard that this younger daughter is in love with a devil general under him." An expert beside him transmitted his voice over.
This caused the eyes of the Azureflame Clan Lord to flash, "Blackstone, why don’t you let your younger daughter marry Tuo`er too? You should have also seen how outstanding Tuo`er is, he will undoubtedly be a great match for her."
"Azureflame Clan Lord, why must you humiliate me so?" The voice of the Blackstone Devil King turned cold as anger could be seen on his face.
"Humiliate?" The Azureflame Clan Lord shook his head. "That should be great fortune for your daughter."
After speaking, his gaze turned back and he continued to observe Azureflame Tuo’s battle. At this moment, Azureflame Tuo’s violent attacks already heavily injured his opponent. However, he soon frowned, "That person will arrive here soon. I wonder how his strength is. If he is too powerful, Tuo`er may find it tough to deal with him."
The eyes of the Blackstone Devil King gleamed with sharpness. Qin Wentian had just arrived.
Qin Wentian left the Azureflame Clan extremely early and hence the devil king of the Azureflame Clan didn’t know of him. He only vaguely heard that the Blackstone Devil King brought a devil general with him and his daughter was in love with the general.
In the battlefield, Azureflame Tuo sent his opponent fleeing with heavy injuries. However when he saw Qin Wentian’s appearance, his countenance instantly froze. Before they entered the devil emperor’s birthday celebration, he originally looked down on Qin Wentian. However after that, Ye Zimo seemed to hold Qin Wentian in very high regards and Qin Wentian had managed to enter the elite sector. Both these incidents caused him to feel an intense agitation and humiliation.
Right now as he stood before Qin Wentian, he actually wanted to see for himself how strong exactly Qin Wentian was.
"Just scram." Qin Wentian brandished the demon sword as he coldly spoke, while continuing his advance.
"Keep your weapon and fight with me." Azureflame Tuo’s law energy was released to the limits, causing the nearby temperature to soar up, creating blistering heat in the space around him.
Qin Wentian glanced at Azureflame Tuo and actually kept his demon sword.
Might as well. If this was the case, this could be considering giving some face to the devilish third princess.
A violent aura suddenly erupt forth as law energy shrouded Qin Wentian entirely. Qin Wentian then sped towards Azureflame Tuo, as ferocious as a bolt of lightning.
Azureflame Tuo gave a thunderous roar. A lava flame gigantic palm that seemingly originated from hell smashed towards Qin Wentian. The stance of the attack was like a lava devil king opening its bloody maw.
Qin Wentian’s speed was fast to the extreme. He lifted his palm and blasted it out towards the incoming palm strike. With a thunderous boom, the lava palm imprint was actually penetrated through as Qin Wentian’s body shot through the hole.
Azureflame Tuo’s countenance drastically changed. His form expanded and he slammed out once more with enough force to overturn seas and topple mountains.
An incomparably resplendent light radiated from Qin Wentian, erupting forth from his perfect immortal-foundation that was covered in devil energy. A terrifying fluctuation belonging to the power of laws circulated around him as a world-destroying halberd lashed out, manifesting an incomparably fearsome vortex that completely swallowed Azureflame Tuo’s attack before shooting towards Azureflame Tuo’s body.
Azureflame Tuo slammed out with his palms once more, coming in contact with the vortex of pure annihilation. At the very instant of contact, grievous wounds erupted from all over his body as he was flung heavily backwards before slamming onto the ground.
"So, you are so weak." Qin Wentian’s brows twitched as he shook his head, turning about to leave the area. He couldn’t be bothered to kill Azureflame Tuo!
