Chapter 125: Death of the Great Elder?

~17 min read 3,318 words

"Little fellow Daoist! You are truly too tactless!" Great Elder Qingyi's gaze turned cold, his killing intent gradually becoming apparent.

"What kind of thing are you, to be worthy of speaking to me? Go call that dog thief Qitianyan over," Mengchen said, gazing affectionately at Yuechan in his arms, walking away without even turning his head.

Yuechan's face was bright red at this moment, burning hot, her brows locked tight, her feelings of resentment fully maxed out.

Her twisting and struggling had no substantial effect; it only made the contact between them grow tighter, and the friction between their chests made Yuechan feel even more ashamed, annoyed, and hateful. It seemed she could only be powerlessly resentful.

"Good, good, good! Truly, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the ones in front; you young person are very arrogant! Do you dare come out and fight me!" Great Elder Qingyi's eyes were cold and piercing, his cruel killing intent becoming increasingly obvious.

"I said it, you are not worthy; call Qitianyan here!" Mengchen responded in a cold voice.

Hearing this, Qingyi's stern, cold face turned livid; what kind of status did he have, yet today he had fallen to the point of being lectured and humiliated by a junior.

"Hoo..." In an instant, endless Divine Power erupted from within his body, his grim aura as terrifying as if it were destroying the world.

"Bang..., Boom..."

The Divine Power surged and scattered, causing the buildings within a radius of several miles to turn into powder, and the mortals and all living beings not far away also exploded into clusters of blood mist under this daunting aura.

"Hmph! Presumptuous! How dare you harm the citizens of my Stone Kingdom!"

At this moment, the Stone Emperor, as the Human Emperor of the Stone Kingdom, suddenly roared, rising into the air from the crowd below, his aura boundless and mighty.

Following him, the group of Stone Kingdom Princes who had come with him followed closely behind, all releasing daunting auras, looking at Qingyi with angry eyes.

At this instant, Mengchen also furrowed his brows; as a cultivator, disasters should not befall mortals, yet this Butian Sect Elder had wiped out so many mortals and living beings in a single breath.

"Is this your Butian Sect? Treating human life like grass!" Mengchen said coldly, looking down at Yuechan.

Although Yuechan could not speak, it was clear that when she saw those clusters of blood mist, her brows also jumped wildly, and after hearing Mengchen's words, she was unusually quiet for a moment, no longer resisting or struggling, but instead silently lowered her head.

Seeing this, he pushed Yuechan in his arms directly to the Tianhu Shaonü and said, "Little fox, watch her well!"

"Don't worry, little brother, big sister will definitely watch your wife well, and will never let her run away!" the Tianhu Shaonü said with a fawning face, smiling very brightly.

"Gangzi! Help me one more time; I want to personally behead this person. This person is truly not worthy of living in this world," Mengchen called out in his heart.

Regarding the matter of avenging Lao Tuzi, he had originally wanted to do it himself without borrowing the power of the Vajra Pestle, but now, Qingyi's ruthless actions had angered Mengchen.

He had only wanted to humiliate the Butian Sect in public today and then flee far away, waiting to take revenge after his cultivation improved in the future.

But at this moment, he could no longer endure it; those dead mortals and living beings could be said to have all died because of him, and he must seek justice for the deceased.

"It is possible! Such a person indeed should not be allowed to continue living, but if you keep relying on me like this, I fear it will hinder your cultivation!" the Vajra Pestle responded.

After a while, the Vajra Pestle added: "How about this! I will allow you to borrow my power to behead him, but afterwards, I will take you away from here. I once had a special sensing in the Huang Domain; there is a great opportunity there, and it is time for you to go there for training. There, perhaps, you can quickly improve your cultivation."

"Huang Domain?" Mengchen was startled upon hearing this; after their trip to the Kunpeng Nest ended, they had landed in the Huang Domain, but had not stayed long for certain reasons.

"Good! Let me behead this person, and then we will set off!" Mengchen thought very clearly; at this moment, he only wanted to first behead this Butian Sect Great Elder Qingyi to avenge those innocent mortals and living beings who died in vain.

As for going to the Huang Domain, it also aligned with his thoughts; he had originally planned to leave after publicly humiliating the Butian Sect, and now that he heard what Gangzi said about going to the Huang Domain to seek a great opportunity, that was naturally even better.

The Vajra Pestle said: "Fine! Then lure him out of the city! Lest you harm innocent living beings nearby again. Pursuing the ancient ten thousand generations, countless people shed their blood and sacrificed their lives to protect this world, just to keep the living beings behind them safe, but it is definitely not to create an opportunity for such people to act tyrannically."

At this moment, in the void, the Stone Emperor and the group of Princes were confronting the Butian Sect Elders.

Shi Hao also joined in at this moment; as a citizen of the Stone Kingdom, and having just been enfeoffed as the Huangtian Prince, he had the responsibility to protect the Stone Kingdom.

Qingyi and the other Butian Sect Elders were all imposing, their bodies reflecting monstrous divine light.

Shi Hao and the group of Princes also had daunting auras; to protect the living beings of the Stone Kingdom, they would not hesitate to fight.

And the Stone Emperor's aura was even more terrifying; his whole body was brilliant with golden light, his majestic Divine Power surging, and golden energy with substance flowed and gathered. A massive, fierce golden dragon coiled at his side, its angry roar making the void tremble.

"This is Huangdao Dragon Qi!" some living beings exclaimed, their large eyes wide, gazing at the fierce golden dragon coiling at the Stone Emperor's side.

Huangdao Dragon Qi is, in short, the power of faith; it is the luck gathered from the worship of hundreds of millions of subjects, and it collects the fortune of a nation.

With the Dragon Qi added to the Stone Emperor's body, he was like a god descending to the world at this moment, his aura reaching a terrifying level that was hard to comprehend.

"What kind of existence is this Stone Kingdom, that its Huangdao Dragon Qi could gather so massively and terrifyingly." Seeing the Huangdao Dragon Qi transforming into a dragon around the Stone Emperor, the group of Butian Sect Elders' expressions became much more solemn.

At this moment, looking at the Stone Emperor in the void, Mengchen also felt deeply ashamed and grateful. Ashamed of his 'false' performance in the Imperial Palace, which made such a powerhouse treat him as an equal. Grateful, naturally, that the Stone Emperor was willing to disregard his status to come and drink his so-called wedding wine, giving him plenty of face.

Now, because of him, the citizens of the Stone Kingdom had already suffered countless casualties, and how could he let the Stone Emperor and the Stone Kingdom be dragged into a greater dispute.

Therefore, just as both sides were about to fight, Mengchen suddenly shouted into the void: "Stop!"

Then, looking at the Stone Emperor with some gratitude, he said: "Stone Emperor, this matter started because of me, so let me handle it! I have decided to take his life today; I will use his blood to sacrifice to your subjects who died in vain."

Hearing this, the Stone Emperor and the group of Princes looked over, their expressions showing a bit more heartfelt admiration for the young Mengchen.

"Little friend intends to take action?" the Stone Emperor spoke; fighting with the Butian Sect was not his wish, but now that the Butian Sect had bullied and killed his Stone Kingdom subjects first, as the Human Emperor, he must seek justice.

However, he also understood clearly that if they started a war with the Butian Sect today, he feared the Stone Kingdom would never have peace again. Now that Mengchen had jumped out, it would naturally allow the Stone Kingdom to stay out of it.

Indeed, today's matter did start because of Mengchen; that he could take on this responsibility himself truly surprised the Stone Emperor. To have such great righteousness in his heart at such an age was truly extraordinary.

Through the previous battle in the Imperial Palace, the Stone Emperor also believed more firmly that his actions would definitely be astonishing and would absolutely make the Butian Sect and Qingyi pay the price they deserved.

"Yes, Stone Emperor! Everything started because of me, and it should end by my hand," Mengchen said with a solemn face.

Afterwards, as he turned his head, his face became instantly stern and cold, looking at Qingyi: "Old thing, if you have the ability, come fight me outside the city!"

Having said that, Mengchen gave a signal, and Heizi and Xiyao, carrying the Tianhu Shaonü and Yuechan, along with Huo Ling'er, all followed Mengchen as he flew toward the outside of the city.

"Hehehe! Good!" Qingyi laughed coldly, then turned and followed, flying out of the Imperial City, with the Nine Great Elders behind him, as well as that old woman. At this moment, seeing Mengchen challenge the Great Elder to a battle, the old woman's expression changed instantly.

Afterwards, the Stone Emperor, Shi Hao, and a group of Princes and some powerful living beings all followed; this was a divine battle rarely seen in a hundred years!

In their hearts, they already regarded Mengchen as a god; otherwise, how could he have beheaded fifteen Venerables and twenty-one Array Formation cultivators without even blushing or panting.

Soon! They flew out of the Imperial City and arrived at a desert area where no living beings survived; here, flying sand danced lightly, there were hills one after another, and a few hundred-year-old withered trees stood.

Mengchen hovered above the void, confronting Qingyi, while the Tianhu Shaonü and the others, along with the other Nine Great Elders, all stood on the tops of nearby barren hills watching.

The Stone Emperor, Shi Hao, and the group of living beings all stayed in front of the distant mountain peaks, looking out at the two confronting each other there.

"Gangzi, let's begin!" Mengchen looked coldly at Qingyi opposite him, thinking to himself.

"Good!" the Vajra Pestle responded.

Following that, an invisible aura instantly permeated and spread out, still leaving everyone present unable to perceive it.

In the eyes of Qingyi and the other Nine Great Elders, Mengchen's strength was only at the middle stage of the Inscription Realm, and they all revealed looks of contempt.

However, what they did not know was that, invisibly, their strength had already fallen to the Inscription Realm, only they could not feel it yet, still feeling smug and not putting Mengchen in their eyes at all. "Great Elder! You must be careful!" the Butian Sect old woman shouted from across the air.

After finishing, she said to the Nine Great Elders beside her: "Elders, I ask that you all strike together! This child must not be underestimated!"

She appeared extremely anxious, for she had once witnessed Mengchen slay a Venerable in the Imperial Palace with her own eyes. At this moment, seeing the Great Elder face Mengchen, she was very worried; perhaps... perhaps only if all ten elders moved at once and relied on the Butian Divine Art could they defeat him! "Hmph! Truly noisy!" Qingyi glanced sideways, and a powerful aura surged out, directly sending the old woman flying backward while she vomited blood.

Immediately, Qingyi said coldly without looking back: "The opponent is merely a junior in the Inscription Realm. As a disciple of the Butian Sect, you actually dare to shout such things in public. Are you trying to humiliate me?"

"This disciple dares not humiliate the Great Elder, it is just..., it is just that this boy is strange! He must not be underestimated!" the old woman said again.

"Hmph! Shut your mouth!" the group of elders beside the old woman shouted to stop her.

The old woman had grievances she could not voice, and under the strong pressure of the group of elders, she could no longer speak.

Seeing this situation, the expressions of the Stone Emperor and the group of living beings who had come to watch the show became colorful.

This Qingyi might be peerless in the world, but at this moment, he was undoubtedly dead.

If he had listened to the old woman's words, he might have been able to take precautions and live a little longer, but now, he was clearly arrogant and looked down on everyone; he would likely die in an instant.

"Alright! Go and fight!" After finishing the display of divine abilities, the Vajra Pestle said.

"Boom..."

Hearing the Vajra Pestle finish speaking, Mengchen did not hesitate at all, opening eleven brilliant Cave Heavens, from which endless Divine Radiance gushed out.

The eleven Cave Heavens were unique; ten small Cave Heavens were connected, circling the edge of one super-large Cave Heaven, transcendent like the halo behind a god or Buddha.

He stood in the center, looking like a god or Buddha, and in an instant, he killed his way forward. The Runes within his body surged, and he unleashed the Kunpeng Precious Technique. With a 'bang', a pair of golden, radiant Kunpeng wings unfolded behind him, granting him extreme speed.

"Eleven Cave Heavens?" At this moment, Qingyi and the Nine Great Elders not far behind him were all shocked, finding it somewhat hard to believe.

Looking through ancient history, those who could open ten Cave Heavens were few and far between; how could these eleven Cave Heavens exist, and there had never been such a case or record in ancient books.

How exactly did he do it? Shock was shock, but since he had offended the Butian Sect, he still had to die. Qingyi directly snorted coldly and struck.

"Hmph! Truly seeking death, daring to take the initiative to attack."

The Divine Power within his body gushed out, and he fell into a stalemate with Mengchen. It was intensely fierce; the surroundings boiled, especially the desolate mountain peaks nearby, which were torn apart. Large chunks of boulders were constantly ground into powder, causing some mountains to cease to exist.

"How is this possible!"

During the fierce battle, Qingyi felt increasingly incredulous. The scene he had anticipated—slaying the opponent in an instant—did not occur; instead, he found it increasingly difficult to cope.

"Is he really in the Inscription Realm?"

Qingyi began to doubt. This child could actually fight him to this point; could it be that what that disciple said was true, and this child had really once slain fifteen Venerables and twenty-one Array Formation cultivators in one go?!

At this moment, Qingyi felt more and more that something was wrong, becoming increasingly passive.

"Boom!"

Mengchen vibrated his body, and the Rune light erupted completely. The symbols of the Kunpeng Precious Technique intertwined in the void, transforming into a Kun fish and a Peng Bird—one black, one golden—the two intersecting like yin and yang.

At this moment, the Kun fish represented the power of Taiyin, and the Peng Bird represented the Divine Power of the sun; the combination of the two was terrifyingly boundless.

With a 'boom', the Kun fish and Peng Bird in the void pressed down simultaneously. The two combined together to suppress and kill, their terrifying power shocking the world.

"Pfft..."

Qingyi coughed up a large mouthful of blood instantly, retreating continuously and stumbling as he walked.

"Imprison!"

Mengchen shouted loudly. That eleventh Cave Heaven shone brightly, as if ten thousand great stars had gathered. From time to time, transcendent fierce beasts like the True Dragon and True Phoenix appeared, releasing immortal power, sealing this place as if time and space had been imprisoned, bringing everything to a standstill.

Qingyi felt that something was wrong; his body was imprisoned, and he was unable to break free.

Afterwards, he saw Mengchen channeling mysterious Runes to kill him. The Kunpeng wings behind Mengchen spread wide, resembling a golden blade made of golden feathers. Its sharpness was exposed, as if it could cut through the void, and it swept toward him.

Qingyi was terrified, his eyes wide open, witnessing the scene of his own death with his own eyes.

"Pfft..."

His neck was sliced open, and blood immediately surged up high!

The blood was very red, but it also carried a hint of stunning color, emitting divine light; it was very vivid and splashed high! This was not ordinary blood; it was nearly deified, sorrowfully beautiful and crystal clear, streaking across the sky, incomparably magnificent, yet also somewhat shocking.

This was also proof of Qingyi's powerful strength; his blood had already been deified. If he did not die, it was feared that it would not be long before he stepped into the level of a Heavenly God.

"Sure enough! This Qingyi died due to carelessness!" some living beings shouted, and the group of living beings followed suit.

They believed that Qingyi had died because he did not listen to the old woman's words and was careless.

In fact, it was not so. As soon as the two began to fight, Qingyi had sensed that something was wrong and had used all his strength, yet he was still slain.

Qingyi's neck was sliced open, his blood sorrowfully beautiful, bright red with a golden glow, staining the sky red and shocking everyone present.

"No..., Great Elder!" the Nine Great Elders in the rear screamed.

"Impossible, how could the Great Elder be defeated? Even a Heavenly God could not have slain him so easily."

They simply could not believe it and found it hard to accept this fact.

The Great Elder, who had nearly reached the level of a Heavenly God, was easily slain by a junior in the Inscription Realm!

The Stone Emperor and all the living beings watching all of this, although they had guessed this result in their hearts, were still deeply moved when they truly witnessed it.

This place boiled; everyone opened their eyes wide, and it was a scene of clamor, like a pot of boiling water, no longer able to remain calm.

It had only been a few moments, and everything had happened in this time, making it difficult for the remaining Nine Great Elders of the Butian Sect to breathe.

Below, the Tianhu Shaonü had a look of joy on her face; this was exactly what she had been looking forward to. Her Jietian Sect and the Butian Sect had always been at odds like fire and water, so she was naturally happy to see the Butian Sect's Great Elder killed.

Yuechan's eyes were unusually calm, and there was no ripple on her fresh and refined, peerless beautiful face.

Qingyi's death did not seem to make her angry; on the contrary, this was a manifestation of her being overly shocked, not knowing what kind of emotion to express.

Is the Great Elder just gone like this? Yuechan could not believe it in her heart.

I have to go to the night shift again tonight, I hope everyone will be understanding.

The content updated recently is easy to be difficult to divide into chapters.

But the content of this chapter is equal to two previous chapters, so I will not divide it. (End of this chapter)
