Chapter 137: We must cherish this opportunity brought by our second brother
Wokou Yuan Dan's face changed instantly; he had no confidence he could take on three opponents.
Wokou Yuan Dan looked at Bai Yun, squeezing out a disgusted smile: "White Beast King, I'm Si Tian. My people went to White Egret Marsh not long ago; you didn't agree to cooperate with us?"
"I heard your second brother was killed by Great Wu; don't you want to avenge him?"
"Like this, you and I kill Shen Qing together; the deal still stands—what do you think?"
"Originally, it would have been fine not to say this; Bai Yun is just following Shen Qing to kill a Primordial Elixir, which is also something a mount should do."
"But as soon as these words were spoken, it made Bai Yun furious; it gritted its teeth, and even its lips trembled slightly."
""Master, can I attack now? I can't bear it anymore.""
Shen Qing waved his hand, Bai Yun let out a roar and charged at Si Tian like a madman; at this moment, he finally displayed the aura a demon king should have.
The roar shook the heavens; every move seemed to tear the swift wind, his tail burst forth with azure gloomy light, fiercely lashing toward Si Tian, while he gritted his teeth.
""Is it you who took advantage of my and my third brother's absence to deceive my second brother?""
""Return my second brother's life!""
The ferocious beast's strength is inherently greater than that of human warriors; plus this tail also carries a fury boost, making its power even greater by a third.
Si Tian barely blocked the flood dragon's tail with his sword, but his whole body was still flung into the air.
Si Tian hurriedly shouted: "White Beast King, hear my explanation..."
But before he could finish speaking, a sheet of black mist swept in; within the black mist appeared a pair of scarlet eyes—it was the third brother, Hei Ying.
""My second brother is naturally stupid, and you're still deceiving him!""
Hei Ying rushed forward violently; in the darkness, several red lights flashed, blood spattered, opening several wounds on Si Tian's chest.
Bai Yun let out a roar and swung a claw violently at Si Tian.
Just then, Shen Qing's voice sounded from behind.
""Move aside.""
Bai Yun heard clearly, twisted its body, released the force from its claw, and quickly made way.
""Open Heaven.""
Golden light burst forth; Shen Qing's self-created supreme art, Open Heaven Path, slashed straight at Si Tian in midair.
Si Tian's eyes showed terror, but he had just been struck by a combined attack from Bai Yun and Hei Ying, and with Shen Qing's sudden strike, he had no chance to block or dodge.
He let out a desperate roar: "Shen Qing! As a Limit-Breaker, where is your dignity? You shouldn't be dueling me..."
In the next instant, a blade light pierced through his body; his voice cut off abruptly, and a blood line appeared vertically downward from the center of Si Tian's brow.
Pfft—
His whole body split into two halves, slowly falling to the ground.
Shen Qing landed beside Si Tian's corpse, looking down on it, and let out a contemptuous laugh.
""A duel? Don't you find saying that funny yourself?""
If we weren't in a state of war right now, a duel would still be acceptable.
But now we are in a state of war, and Shen Qing is a Limit-Breaker; one person alone can tip the battlefield balance.
How could the time of a limited Primordial Elixir realm compare to Shen Qing's time?
Boom—
Shen Qing directly stomped Si Tian's mutilated corpse into pieces with one foot.
In that instant, the entire battlefield fell silent, but soon the Great Wu side erupted in earth-shaking roars.
""Lord Shen is mighty!""
""Lord Shen is mighty!""
Great Wu soldiers saw Shen Qing leading a flood dragon and an eagle, mightily slaying the Wokou's Primordial Elixir realm, and morale exploded.
The gloom of past unfavorable battles in Jia Shui Jun vanished in an instant; everyone roared while launching fierce charges.
Meanwhile, the Wokou on the other side were miserable.
Our side's Primordial Elixir realm was kicked to death by Shen Qing like a stray dog on the roadside.
Morale had already dropped to freezing point.
The remaining thousands of Wokou still resisting also completely lost the courage to fight back, turning around to flee.
But the blood-colored mist quickly descended, and Shen Qing was already hovering above their heads.
""Ink Dragon Severing River.""
A black-colored giant dragon descended among the Wokou crowd, blood spraying; the escape route had already become Shen Qing's slaughter field.
In midair, Hei Ying's pupils kept trembling.
""Big brother, this One Who Disregards Rules is too sneaky; on the battlefield, it's basically a dimensional strike.""
Bai Yun's face was unusually solemn.
""Otherwise, why do you think he's called One Who Disregards Rules? He completely ignores the rules set by Heaven.""
""Moreover, you've overlooked the most important thing.""
Hei Ying turned his head to look at Bai Yun, who spoke word by word.
""Having the combat power of a Primordial Elixir realm at the sixth layer of the Grand Master Realm qualifies as One Who Disregards Rules—but look at what realm Master is currently in.""
Hei Ying's pupils suddenly contracted, because Shen Qing's combat power was too high; Hei Ying had always regarded Shen Qing as a Primordial Elixir realm, but after Bai Yun's reminder, he realized the terrifying thing he had overlooked, and his voice began to tremble.
""Grand Master Realm... eighth layer!!!""
Bai Yun took a deep breath: "Perhaps my knowledge is shallow, but according to the history I know, going back several dynasties, no such person has ever appeared."
Hei Ying's chest kept rising and falling; after remaining silent for a long time, he finally spoke.
""Big brother, do you think our current situation shouldn't be considered a bad thing?""
""What do you mean by that?""
Hei Ying continued speaking: "Elder brother, you treat Second Brother too well, always being tolerant, but my dissatisfaction with it hasn't been just a day or two; over these years you've been out adventuring, while I, at home like a nanny, have to constantly watch Second Brother, not let it cause destruction, not let it go out to make trouble, when it causes trouble I have to take the blame! I've had enough already."
"If I'm not careful and fail to watch him, Second Brother will cause a huge disaster, nearly bringing a catastrophic calamity upon our White Egret Marsh."
"In other words, even if I had stopped Second Brother back then and prevented it from trading with the Japanese pirates, who knows if someone else would appear later? I can't watch it every day, and sooner or later it will cause other trouble."
"It simply isn't aware of the situation of our White Egret Marsh."
Bai Yun sighed: "You're right; it hasn't put itself in the proper place."
"We live under the protection of Great Wu, so we must follow the rules set by Great Wu; breaking the rules means bearing the consequences."
"This time Second Younger Brother has gone too far, just..."
Hei Ying's voice also dropped a bit.
"Elder brother, Second Brother has left, and I feel awful too; although I've always been cleaning up after him, to say there's no affection between us is definitely false."
"But this time Second Brother has gone too far; however, Second Brother also opened a path for us with his life."
"Maybe we can still redeem ourselves through service, and moreover we have followed Lord Shen."
"Although elder brother, you never told me what Lord Shen's position actually is."
"But it's certainly not ordinary; if we properly follow the rules and do our work well, maybe one day we can truly fulfill your wish."
"We must cherish this opportunity brought by Second Brother."
