Chapter 338

He held a long spear, pointing it straight at Qin Yang.

Translation: "He held a long spear, pointing it straight at Qin Yang."

Check: "hand-held long spear" = "held a long spear" or "the long spear in his hand". We'll say: "He held a long spear, pointing it straight at Qin Yang."

Taotie sneered and said, "A mere human junior dares to speak to me like this? I've eaten who knows how many of your ancestors from back then."

Translation: "Glutton sneered, saying, 'A mere human junior dares to speak to me like this? I've eaten who knows how many of your ancestors from back then.'"

A mere human junior also dares to speak to me like this?

I've eaten who knows how many of your ancestors from back then.

Thus: "Glutton sneered, saying, 'A mere human junior also dares to speak to me like this? I've eaten who knows how many of your ancestors from back then.'"

You're still afraid.

Translation: "You're still afraid."

Qin Yang continued.

Translation: "Qin Yang continued speaking."

A human true immortal like you? I could crush a bunch of them with one hand.

Translation: "A True Immortal like you? I could crush a bunch with one hand."

Taotie looked arrogant.

Translation: "Glutton's face was full of arrogance."

You're afraid.

Translation: "You're afraid."

Qin Yang continued.

Translation: "Qin Yang continued speaking."

Taotie's eyes blazed.

Translation: "Glutton's eyes were blazing with fire."

Nonsense, would I fear such a puny human?

Translation: "Nonsense, would this seat fear such a tiny human?"

Then let's fight.

Translation: "Then let's fight."

Qin Yang smiled faintly.

Translation: "Qin Yang gave a faint smile."

He lightly swung his long sword, killing intent palpable.

Translation: "He lightly waved the long blade in his hand, killing intent intense."

I'm busy, I'm hungry and need to eat.

Translation: "No time, this seat is hungry and wants to eat something."

Taotie said coldly.

Note there is a stray "、" after period. We'll translate as: "Glutton said coldly."

You want to flee?

Translation: "You want to run away?"

Qin Yang's expression was amused.

Translation: "Qin Yang's expression was somewhat amused."

Taotie could no longer restrain himself.

Translation: "Glutton finally couldn't hold back."

He lunged his long spear straight at Qin Yang.

Translation: "He thrust his long spear directly at Qin Yang."

I'll kill you first.

Translation: "I'll kill you first."

Taotie attacked.

Translation: "Glutton made a move."

Qin Yang looked solemn, as if facing a powerful enemy.

Translation: "Qin Yang's expression grew grave, as if facing a formidable foe."

At that moment, Taotie abruptly turned and fled.

Translation: "Just then, Glutton suddenly turned and ran."

Seeing Taotie's dwindling silhouette, Qin Yang's face darkened.

Translation: "Watching Glutton's shrinking figure, Qin Yang's face darkened."

He didn't expect them to just run off.

Translation: "He hadn't expected the other side to simply run away."

Even an ancient ferocious beast has lost all shame.

Translation: "Such an ancient fierce beast, and it doesn't care about face at all."

Qin Yang pursued him right away.

Translation: "Qin Yang directly gave chase."

You won't get away.

Translation: "You can't escape."

Qin Yang said coldly.

Translation: "Qin Yang said coldly."

Blue Star is only so large; as soon as he emerged, Qin Yang had already sensed a trace of Taotie's aura.

Translation: "Lan Xing is just this big; when he came out earlier, Qin Yang had already caught a wisp of Glutton's aura."

He wants to escape Qin Yang's clutches, but it's almost impossible.

Translation: "He wanted to escape from Qin Yang's grasp, but it was nearly impossible."

Zhang Ge and his companions stared, dumbfounded, as the two vanished.

Translation: "Zhang Ge and the others stared at the disappearing two, dumbfounded."

The mighty fiend they had subdued turned out to be Taotie's true self.

Translation: "This great fiend they had suppressed was actually Glutton's true form."

What they couldn't accept was that Taotie, facing Qin Yang, chose to flee willingly.

Translation: "What they found hardest to accept was Glutton's attitude toward Qin Yang—it actually fled on its own."

What should we do now?

Translation: "What should we do now?"

A disciple asked.

Translation: "A disciple asked."

Zhang Ge pondered, then said: "Don't stay at the Heavenly Demon Gate; relocate elsewhere. I'll go after them to see—if I confirm Qin Yang really killed Taotie, we can come back."

Translation: "Zhang Ge thought, then said: 'You all shouldn't stay in the Heaven Demon Sect for now; move elsewhere. I'll pursue and see—if I confirm Qin Yang really killed Glutton, we can return.'"

Can Qin Yang slay Taotie?

Translation: "Can Qin Yang kill Glutton?"

Everyone found it hard to believe.

Translation: "Many found it hard to believe."

Although Taotie got away, it's still an ancient ferocious beast that isn't easy to kill.

Translation: "Although Glutton escaped, after all it's an ancient fierce beast—not just anyone can take it down."

Even if Qin Yang catches Taotie, he may not be able to kill it.

Translation: "Even if Qin Yang caught up to Glutton, he might not be able to take it down."

So Zhang Ge also readied himself for the chance Qin Yang couldn't kill Taotie, in which case their Heavenly Demon Gate would have to go into hiding.

Translation: "So Zhang Ge also prepared for the possibility that Qin Yang couldn't take down Glutton; at that point, the Heaven Demon Sect would have to hide everywhere."

Upon thinking this, Zhang Ge suddenly had an idea.

Translation: "Thinking this, Zhang Ge suddenly had an idea."

If I were to join Qin Yang, I wouldn't have to worry.

Translation: "If I defected to Qin Yang, wouldn't that mean I wouldn't have to worry?"

If the Heavenly Demon Gate had Qin Yang's protection, I believe Taotie wouldn't dare cause trouble.

Translation: "As long as the Heaven Demon Sect had Qin Yang's protection, believe Glutton wouldn't dare act recklessly."

The pursuit led them out to sea.

Translation: "Both sides chasing each other, they arrived at sea."

Qin Yang finally caught Taotie and slashed down with a blade of light.

Translation: "Qin Yang finally caught up to Glutton, and he directly slashed down with a blade of light."

Taotie turned, glaring angrily; the foe relentless, intent on killing him.

Translation: "Glutton turned, showing anger; the other side wouldn't relent—this meant he had to be killed."

It looks like I have to fight for my life; otherwise I can't escape Qin Yang.

Translation: "It seems I must fight desperately; otherwise, there's no way to dodge Qin Yang."

With that thought, Taotie went on the offensive.

Translation: "Thinking this, Glutton went to meet the attack."

As one of the four ancient ferocious beasts, Taotie's strength is undeniable; even at the true immortal level, it remains immensely powerful.

Translation: "As one of the four ancient fierce beasts, Glutton's strength is unquestionable; even if only at the True Immortal level, it's still extraordinarily powerful."

They engaged, their long sword and Taotie's spear colliding, releasing terrifying shockwaves.

Translation: "When they clashed, the long blade and Glutton's long spear collided, here erupting terrifying battle aftershocks."

A massive sword aura pierced heaven and earth.

Translation: "Thick blade qi pierced between heaven and earth."

Taotie also attacked; a looming phantom appeared behind him, as large as a mountain and horribly ferocious—this was Taotie's true form, evil incarnate.

Translation: "Glutton also struck; behind him, a phantom appeared, as huge as a mountain, terrifyingly ferocious—that was Glutton's true form, evil to the extreme."

Their battle churned up terrifying waves.

Translation: "Their clash stirred up shocking waves here."

They battled from the heavens into the sea.

Translation: "They fought from the sky into the midst of the great sea."

Taotie roared, a massive spear shadow like a heavenly pillar, like a mountain across the sky, bore down on Qin Yang.

Translation: "Glutton let out a long cry; the huge spear shadow was like a heavenly pillar, as if a mountain lay across the sky, pressing down on Qin Yang."

Qin Yang stood firm; behind him a dharma manifestation arose—himself, standing tall between heaven and earth.

Translation: "But Qin Yang showed no fear; behind him, a Dharma Manifestation appeared—himself, standing tall between heaven and earth."

Then an illusory long sword materialized, merging with Qin Yang's motions.

Translation: "At this moment, an illusory long blade appeared, merging with Qin Yang's movement."

Killing an immortal.

The huge blade light, at this moment, split heaven and earth in two.

Taotie's attack was blocked.

The blade light shocked the world, drew upon the power of heaven and earth, and continued to charge at Taotie.

Taotie's expression changed slightly; it wanted to dodge, but it was already too late.

Furthermore, he is now greatly depleted; just after being born, Qin Yang fixed his gaze on him, and he has been fought to this point.

This caused Taotie to expend too much.

The battle just now was intense to the extreme; now it is willing but unable.

Pfft.

It only managed to mobilize its power for a brief defense before the blade light struck it on the body.

It flew sideways, and a huge wound appeared on its body.

Taotie opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He gritted his teeth, turned, and wanted to run.

Taotie clearly knew that it was no match for Qin Yang; if it dared to continue fighting, death was certain.

"You can't escape."

Qin Yang's voice sounded.

He was faster, and blocked Taotie.

The long blade fell; Taotie could only meet it in battle.

But it truly couldn't move now, and after being wounded, it was even less a match for Qin Yang.

In just a moment, Taotie's body gained several new wounds.

Taotie became a little panicked.

If this continues, it is very likely to be killed.

Realizing this, Taotie shouted, "Stop, I surrender, I am willing to become your follower."

"Not needed."

Qin Yang said lightly.

This made Taotie's fur stand on end.

"I, a mighty one of the Four Great Ferocious Beasts, to be your subordinate—doesn't that wrong you?"

Qin Yang said nothing; even Chiyou despised this person, yet wanting him killed, Qin Yang naturally would not show mercy.

If Taotie were useful, Chiyou would certainly not have killed it.

This can only show that Taotie has a reason to die.

Seeing Qin Yang say nothing, merely launching fierce attacks.

Taotie was almost angered to death.

Just what kind of person is this?

Even its own following can be ignored.

At this point, Taotie could only fight desperately.

They engaged in a great battle.

Zhang Ge discovered that, as the battle continued, Taotie's strength was obviously lacking.

It fell into a disadvantage, only able to barely resist Qin Yang's attacks.

If its physical body weren't strong enough, it would have already been slain by Qin Yang.

Thinking this, Zhang Ge felt a stir in his heart, thinking he should now be able to help.

He certainly did not want Taotie to escape.

Think, then act.

Zhang Ge directly rushed over.

He made a move at Taotie.

A strong immortal light swept toward Taotie.

Result, Taotie merely waved its hand and shattered the immortal light.

And Zhang Ge was shaken back many steps, opening his mouth to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He looked as if he had seen a ghost.

At this point, Taotie had become this weak, and moreover could not muster any more power to act against itself.

Result, I still could not block its strike.

It's hard to imagine; if Qin Yang had not appeared at the start, and I faced Taotie, the result would likely be that I couldn't block even a single move.

Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Ge shuddered.

Just then, Qin Yang with one blade chopped off one of Taotie's arms.

This made Taotie let out a miserable scream.

It glared at Qin Yang: "I will have us both perish together."

At this point, Taotie went completely mad.

Qin Yang's expression remained unchanged, not the slightest bit worried.

He proceeded steadily, his striking power not diminishing in the slightest.

Taotie went berserk, but its flaws increased.

Not long after, his other arm was also chopped off by Qin Yang.

Having lost both arms, Taotie's combat power dropped by at least eighty percent.

In his prime, he could instantly regrow severed limbs, but now he can't.
