Chapter 1230B – Elder Senior-apprentice Brother

…

Elder senior-apprentice brother was clearly satisfied with his words. He nodded and wanted to give some more words of wisdom, but he was suddenly interrupted before he could speak.

“Tall Sostrong, are you done speaking yet?”

Puff –

Qin Yu nearly spat out some leftover blood in his mouth. If it weren’t for his ability to conceal his emotions, he would have laughed out loud on the spot.

This name was too appropriate!

Elder senior-apprentice brother furrowed his eyebrows together, a serious expression coming over his face. “Nine Heads, I was educating my little junior-apprentice brother and you interrupted me. I am not happy.”

His voice was still warm, warm to the point that there was no killing intent. But when he said these words, there was finally a bit of overbearingness to them.

Qin Yu thought that yes, this was the style that the peach garden’s elder senior-apprentice brother should have!

“…Unless you apologize to me right now, otherwise I will hit you.”

As soon as the thought appeared in Qin Yu’s mind, it immediately vanished.

Damn it, what kind of ridiculous visual cue was this? And to accompany your appearance with that voice, it was too hard to accept!

Nine Heads also found it hard to endure, so as soon as elder senior-apprentice brother finished speaking, he immediately attacked. In the past, the Western Mountain and the peach garden had fought against each other several times, both large and small-scale battles. He and Tall Sostrong could be considered old acquaintances and he knew that if he let the man continue talking, he would do so all day.

Of course, there was another point. It was that Nine Heads wanted to smash Tall Sostrong to pieces. It wasn’t only now, but also in the past. Unfortunately, Nine Heads’ skills weren’t as good as his, and instead of beating up his opponent, he had been beaten up even worse.

But today was different. After a thousand years of uninterrupted seclusion, Nine Heads had decided to spread his name throughout the vast brightness today. And Tall Sostrong was clearly a very good stepping stone to accomplishing that.

Of course, if he could eat him, that would be even better…to speak the truth, Nine Heads’ origin was sufficiently ancient and mysterious, but he could feel that Tall Sostrong’s background was even more ancient and mysterious than his. Even the Scholartree Saint wasn’t able to completely trace back where he came from.

But there was one point that was without doubt. If he could eat Tall Sostrong, he would definitely receive an enormous harvest. He might even evolve again and reach perfection!

Elder senior-apprentice brother calmly nodded, “Little junior-apprentice brother, you leave first with junior-apprentice sister. Leave this place to me.” Then, he turned and punched out a fist.

Qin Yu’s eyebrows leapt up and his heart fiercely shrank. All of the complaints and doubts he had about this elder senior-apprentice brother completely vanished at this moment! Elder senior-apprentice brother, this really was his elder senior-apprentice brother! Ignoring what he looked like, his strength was definitely top-notch!

In terms of the mortal body, Qin Yu had the Abyssal Titan true body. To be honest, he was confident in himself. But, unless he used the Light and Darkness Domain, it would have been impossible to resist this punch.

Or to be more accurate, even if he used the Light and Darkness Domain, he had no idea what the final result would be.

It was that strong!

Like a meteor crashing into the sea, endless tsunamis rose up. They rumbled out in all directions, wrapping everything within them.

Even if someone wasn’t caught inside, they could still feel the terrifying strength surging within and the horrifying destructive aura it contained.

This strike was aimed at Nine Heads, but also the Sly Fate Clan cultivator and the others.

A skilled tongue was never as good as a hard first. And, our elder senior-apprentice brother can not only speak, but his fist is as hard as iron!

Peachy grabbed Qin Yu, “Let’s go!”

Feeling some resistance, she turned and frowned.

Qin Yu said, “Senior-apprentice sister, please wait a moment.”

Bang –

With a loud sound like a thunderclap, the entire Dragon Palace hall violently shook. If this place hadn’t been baptized all year long by the Dragon Saint’s aura, it would have long since become a stretch of ruins.

Nine Head clenched his fists together and crossed his arms in front of his body, blocking the attack. He was thrown backwards like a giant stone, his feet digging into the ground and forming a long ravine in his wake. He licked his lips, a burning heat in his eyes as he stared at elder senior-apprentice brother. His gaze was like that of a hungry wolf that had locked onto a fragrant roasted chicken.

Western Mountain’s Nine Heads had used actions to prove his own strength. But the people around him weren’t so lucky.

Certainly, the reason was that Nine Heads only protected himself and didn’t care about these cultivators that had attached themselves to the Western Mountain.

With the Sly Fate Clan cultivator at the lead, eleven cultivators vomited a mouthful of blood as they were sent flying backwards. Their eyes widened with fear and panic.

Each one of them could be called a genius. Even though they had the self-awareness to not call themselves the strongest, they never thought there was such an astonishing disparity between themselves and true top talents.

A punch! This was just a single punch!

The peach garden’s elder senior-apprentice brother likely wasn’t far away from perfection.

Shua –

A shadow flashed in front of the Sly Fate Clan cultivator. The cultivator was startled, but before he could react a hand had grabbed his neck.

Qin Yu reached out his other hand, “Give the box to me.”

This certainly wasn’t a request. The Sly Fate Clan cultivator welcomed his eyes and hesitated for just a second before giving in.

Qin Yu had already killed one, so what did it matter if he killed another?

After obtaining the wooden box, Qin Yu’s lips curved up in a mocking smile. He leaned over and said in the man’s ear, “You’re the third.”

Kacha –

With a light sound, the man’s neck bent at a bizarre angle. At the same time, the power of light and darkness crashed into his body, tearing apart his soul.

Qin Yu tossed the corpse to the side and pulled Peachy’s hand. “Senior-apprentice sister, let’s go!”

Shua –

Shua –

The two were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye they left the hall, and in another blink of the eye they had vanished into the magnificently large Dragon Palace.

Someone’s eyes flickered but they remained silent in the end. Not to mention that the Spring Master had already arrived, just the elder senior-apprentice brother was enough to deter all of them!

Rumble rumble –

Without turning around, they could still feel the loud explosions coming from behind them as well as the terrifying strength contained in the quaking sea waters.

Elder senior-apprentice brother and Nine Heads were engaged in fierce combat!

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. The Spring Master had rapidly arrived at the East Sea, and elder senior-apprentice brother who was always in seclusion was actually by their side. It felt as if the peach garden had already realized the Western Mountain’s evil intentions.

If this was really true, then the level of danger shouldn’t be that high.

After all, with how much the Spring Master loved Peachy, he would never allow her to be injured.

As Qin Yu thought of this, he let out a breath of relief.

Peachy said, “Qin Yu, let’s part ways here. You leave by yourself.”

Mm?

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows.

Peachy said, “The Scholartree Saint wouldn’t make a move so easily.”

There wasn’t a need to say more, just these words were enough!

Qin Yu bitterly smiled. He thought he had been too muddle-headed if he also needed Peachy to give him a reminder. Could it be that he overexerted his mind before this?

This was a battle between True Saints!

If the Scholartree Saint attacked without hesitation, why would he let them escape with such ease? Their elder senior-apprentice brother might have blocked off Nine Heads and the others, but who knew how many more traps were hidden inside and outside the Dragon Palace!

Peachy wanted to part ways because she knew she was the true target. If Qin Yu followed her, things would be more dangerous for him. If the two split up, his chance of surviving would be higher and the forces that chased after them would be split in half.

“Let’s do that.” Without giving Qin Yu a chance to explain or object, Peachy let go of his hand and flew off in a separate direction.

This woman was sufficiently decisive. But I am now a Saint Slayer, am I not worthy of trust? Unless…Peachy believed that the person who would continue hunting her down was someone even stronger than Lian Yi after he became a Saint.

After all, there were few Saint Slayers, and most of them had some unknown secrets that couldn’t be revealed to the world. For instance, they had succeeded by taking advantage of someone being severely wounded, or profiting as a third party.

Qin Yu killing Lian Yi was one such example.

In fact, the power of the Saint’s path was far beyond imagination, and oftentimes the only thing stronger than a Saint was another Saint!

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows. His instincts told him that leaving on his own was indeed the best choice.

After a brief silence, he slowly let out a breath and wryly smiled.

Humans had times when they were stupid and contradictory. Even though they knew there was danger and they shouldn’t do it, they would still choose to take the risk.

But the reason humans were humans was probably also because of this…there were always times when a person didn’t want to do something, but they had to!

…

Strictly speaking, Peachy had discovered something wrong with the situation much earlier than Qin Yu.

This was because the Scholartree Saint had arrived!

There was a point that the Dragon Saint hadn’t guessed incorrectly. Peachy did have the Spring Master’s dao quintessence in her body.

It was due to the existence of this dao quintessence that she sensed the Scholartree Saint’s evil intentions from the beginning.

She had no idea why the Scholartree Saint wanted to kill her, but since she now knew this, she couldn’t allow Qin Yu to stay with her.

This decision completely came from her instincts. Whether it was unintentionally or not, Peachy had completely forgotten about Qin Yu’s status as a Saint Slayer.

As for why she did this, she couldn’t figure it out. She just didn’t want to see Qin Yu fall into danger…it was a strange and alien emotion.

She took a deep breath and exhaled, suppressed her chaotic thoughts. Then, her expression became indifferent once again.

She turned her hand and a wooden box appeared on her palm. The box opened to reveal three peach blossoms inside. Taking one out, she blew a breath at the peach blossom. Then, it shattered with a loud pop. A phantom image appeared, rapidly turning solid and clear; it was another Peachy.

She was clearly illuminated like a mirror. The two Peachys not only looked alike, but their auras were the exact same.

The two Peachys glanced at each other. Then, the Peachy that was transformed from a peach blossom turned around without hesitation and continued forward.

Peachy put the wooden box away and sank directly into the sea water. Only after sinking 10,000 feet did she stop. She raised a hand and took out a lamp.

The lamp was originally extinguished. But, the moment she took it out, it ignited on its own and released an ancient blue light.

Quietly, the surrounding water was shoved open. An empty space was instantly formed 10,000 feet beneath the sea. As the lamp illuminated this space, it seemed to be truly blank, as if it were separated from the East Sea and unable to be perceived by the outside world.

Here, Peachy took out the wooden box again. She crushed the second peach blossom and produced another clone.

The clone glanced at Peachy and sat down cross-legged.

Whoosh –

The sea waters broke apart and Peachy flew into the air, towards the horizon. She vanished in the blink of an eye.
