Chapter 1044: Surrender

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

With Blood Sea’s fall, the entire battlefield sank into silence.

The six Tiangang Realm experts, who had been engaged in an intense battle, all came to a stop as they looked in Blood Sea’s direction with a look of astonishment.

This was especially the case for Heavenly Yaksha and White Asura. The two of them understood well just how powerful Blood Sea was.

Having been taken in by Blood Sea and given guidance for so many years, they knew too much about how terrifying this heaven-blessed cultivator was.

Therefore, even though their martial arts had improved tremendously, they still did not dare to harbor any thoughts of going up against him.

Yet, to think that such a deep and unfathomable expert was tossed down like a dead dog… Who was his opponent? How strong was his opponent?

At the thought of this, Heavenly Yaksha’s forehead was completely drenched in cold sweat. He turned and saw that White Asura was looking at him with a familiar expression.

That expression was one of horror. In the past, they had always been the one to see this expression on the faces of others.

Heavenly Yaksha could imagine that his countenance was no better than White Asura’s.

Just then, a green figure flashed past as Fei Li came running down the mountain, screaming. She circulated her qinggong ¹ to an extreme, rus.h.i.+ng over to Blood Sea while bringing along a series of afterimages behind her.

“Young Master!”

Looking at Blood Sea who was now like a battered doll, her eyes turned red and her hands kept trembling non-stop. However, she did not know where she should lay her hands on.

Concurrently, a myriad of smoke and dust was dispelled by an invisible power. As an invisible pressure came gus.h.i.+ng forth, a figure descended from the sky and landed in the center of the battlefield.

It was Fang Xingjian, who had been disturbed from his training in seclusion.

At the sight of Fang Xingjian’s appearance, Zhao Yinglan immediately half-kneeled to the ground and said solemnly, “Your subject deserves to die ten thousand deaths for having alarmed Your Majesty. Please, your subject seeks mercy.”

Within a short period of time, the disciples of the Illusory Emotions Path across the entire mountain all half-kneeled down. Their essential Qis seethed and formed a large stretch of Qi field that caused the atmosphere to tremor.

Having received exchanges and martial arts guidance from Fang Xingjian during this period of time, Zhao Yinglan and the other disciples and Elders from the Illusory Emotions Path were already convinced by him. Therefore, all of them were devoted toward him, wanting to hang tightly onto him.

When Heavenly Yaksha and the others saw this, their expressions were that of surprise and doubt.

Fei Li’s eyes were now filled with chaos without any focus at all. She did not notice Zhao Yinglan’s words or the Illusory Emotions Path’s actions.

It was because her brain capacity was already fully used up, with all of her attention focused on one question—how to let Blood Sea continue to live.

‘Young Master is a character who can change the world. He is the last hope for the entire Sacred Sect.

‘I must let him live on no matter what.’

In order to achieve her objective, Fei Li’s brain circulated to an extreme, and all of her attention was focused on this one objective.

However, no matter how much her brain worked or how lively her consciousness became, there was only one way that she could think of.

Her body leaned forward slightly, and she dropped to her knees with a bang.She then lay prostrate on the ground, trying her best to show her submission.

“Surrender…” Fei Li’s voice trembled slightly as she spoke out the only thought she could think of, “We surrender.”

After Fei Li finished saying this, the minds of Heavenly Yaksha, White Asura, and the others went completely blank. They looked at this scene in a daze, as if unable to make the right reaction.

However, there was one person present who could not accept this result.

“Shut up!”

Blood Sea’s body trembled slightly, and his body which had been seriously injured seemed to have recovered a little. He glared at Fang Xingjian and asked, “Who told you to surrender?”

As he spoke, his body started to recover at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. His smashed flesh was pushed out by new and healthy flesh, dropping to the ground to form pools of blood.

‘d.a.m.n it, if it wasn’t because I happened to attain a breakthrough in the Northern Sea Reincarnation Technique…’

“Young Master!” At the sight of this, Fei Li broke into joyful tears and immediately helped Blood Sea up.

All sorts of energies in the world—especially Tiangang Qis and Disha Qis—gushed incessantly into Blood Sea’s body. They rapidly healed his flesh and replenished his Gang Qis.

Fang Xingjian was slightly stunned upon seeing this. After throwing a glance at Heavenly Yaksha and the others, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

“You’ve unified the different paths in Demon Sect and absorbed the powers of the Great Dao’s Testimony?”

Hearing Fang Xingjian’s question, Blood Sea was slightly stunned. He did not reply, but his gaze appeared even warier as he looked toward Fang Xingjian.

It was already quite a feat for ordinary experts to know of the Demon Sovereign’s legacy. Blood Sea had not encountered anyone else—with the exception of the Three Mountains Four Peaks’s Xiao Shen—who could know of the Great Dao’s Testimony.

Although Blood Sea did not reply, the change to his expression was already registered by Fang Xingjian.

“Excellent. I was still worried about not being able to find the key. To think that you’ve come knocking on the door…” As Fang Xingjian spoke, he grabbed out once again with the exact same action and disposition as before, reaching for Blood Sea’s face.

At the sight of Fang Xingjian’s action, an intense expression of humiliation flashed on Blood Sea’s face. This was the move that had caused him to suffer unprecedented humiliation earlier on.

This time around, Blood Sea did not choose to take it on forcibly. Instead, he instantly turned into countless afterimages as if he had become over 100 people, dodging in all directions.

Each silhouette’s speed created a series of sound explosions, bringing forth strong gales that kept on gathering together and stacking up as if wanting to form a tempest.

However, at the next moment, Fang Xingjian’s palm had already appeared before Blood Sea’s actual body without any trace. Blood Sea’s countenance changed drastically, and he drew an impossible arching trajectory in midair. The surrounding gravity seemed to change as his figure changed, forcibly dodging from Fang Xingjian’s hand.

Yet in the blink of an eye, the hand appeared before him once again, even closer than before.

Blood Sea let out an enraged bellow, causing his Gang Qis to circulate fiercely. Then his figure changed once again.

Within a mere few seconds, Blood Sea performed many powerful qinggong—Illusory Demonic Footwork, Surging Waves Microsteps, WindG.o.d Legs… They even caused a changed to the meteorological phenomena, gravitational abnormalities, and spatial distortions. Many of the surrounding Tiangang Realm experts watching this battle were astonished.

Only Tiangang Realm experts would be able to barely understand the profoundness behind Blood Sea’s great speed and varying changes. The remaining Disha Realm and Xiantian Realm experts were unable to see Blood Sea’s movements clearly.

The six Tiangang Realm experts watching the battle had not expected that there would be someone who would be able to acquire so many amazing qinggong techniques that surpa.s.sed any ancient or present achievements.

However, the more Blood Sea dodged, the more intense the anxiety in his eyes became. It was because he discovered that no matter how he darted around to flee, his opponent’s hand would get increasingly closer like an unavoidable nightmare.
