Chapter 731: You’re Not Dumb, You Have Shit For Brains

Ye Qing’s unique blood was basically the panacea to all vigor-related martial arts. That was why Blood Rakshasa’s “Blood Soul Divine Light” was never a threat to him. The reason he pretended to be bound was because he was hoping to surprise Blood Rakshasa and kill her, but no plan survives first contact with the enemy, and Six Yins Boy somehow became his victim instead.

However, just as not all hazards were disasters, not all twists were necessarily bad. At his current strength, even with the advantage of surprise, Ye Qing knew there was no chance he could destroy Six Yins Boy’s body and his Yang God at the same time. That was why he had slandered Blood Rakshasa. Best case scenario, Six Yins Boy would believe his lies and attack Blood Rakshasa. Even if the Grandmaster turned out to be smarter than anticipated, all it would have cost him was his spit and his breath, so why not?

Luckily for him, things went in the best way possible. Six Yins Boy actually believed his bullshit and cut off Blood Rakshasa’s right arm as a result.

“Do you think I’m stupid? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!”

Blood Rakshasa’s plea only poured fuel on the fire. Six Yins Boy roared and swung his massive demonic saber even faster than before.

Blood Rakshasa was frustrated to say the least. She wanted to explain herself, but she couldn’t even begin to form the words. It was because she knew just how powerless they were.

She was a Grandmaster on the Earth Champions Ranking, and there was no one who didn’t know about her “Blood Soul Divine Light”. From a third person’s perspective, there was zero reason her signature art would ever fail to restrain a newly ascended Grandmaster who hadn’t even stabilized his power or vigor yet. Anyone with a functioning brain would agree with this assessment.

There was just one problem. She really wasn’t the problem. It was Ye Qing.

Blood Rakshasa summoned a sea of blood to block the gargantuan saber.

BOOOOOOMMMMM!!!

The gargantuan saber easily cut through the sea of blood and left a giant scar spanning hundreds of meters on the ground.

The gargantuan saber failed to score a hit on Blood Rakshasa. It was because she had ridden the waves and dodged far out of the way. However, her complexion was pallid, and her presence was weaker than ever before.

Although she managed to avoid Six Yins Boy’s deadly attack, it was still a powerful technique that cost his yang god to execute. Not only could it cut the body, it could sever the mind as well. The “Demonic Blade of Six Yins” might have failed to hit Blood Rakshasa, but it had dealt a grievous blow to her yang god.

Of course, Six Yins Boy wasn’t doing pretty hot himself. Although his yang god managed to escape harm earlier, he still lost his physical body. Just now, he even pushed his yang god to execute his signature technique repeatedly. He had long since scraped the bottom of his barrel.

“You’re not dumb, you just have shit for brains!”

Blood Rakshasa shouted at Six Yins Boy at the top of her lungs, “You deserve to be played like a fiddle! I hope you die in a ditch and rot under the sun, you fucking idiot!”

After Blood Rakshasa was done swearing, she abruptly disappeared in a flash of blood.

“I will chase you to the ends of the earth if it’s the last thing I do, Blood Rakshasa!”

Six Yins Boy was so angry he nearly passed onto the afterlife there and then. In fact, he regretted his actions and realized that something was off as soon as he unleashed his “Demonic Blade of Six Yins”. Blood Rakshasa’s outburst also proved that she had been wronged.

However, he couldn’t take back what he had already done. Besides, even if he was in the wrong, who gave her the right to shame him right in front of so many people?

Right now, he hated her even more than he hated Ye Qing.

Suddenly, Six Yins Boy sensed something and dissolved in a cloud of demonic qi. When the cloud disappeared, so did him.

“Sigh... a shame...”

Ye Qing sighed and relaxed the fingers inside his sleeves with a regretful expression.

For obvious reasons, he was hoping to strike Six Yins Boy while he was weakened and kill him once and for all. Unfortunately, the Grandmaster turned out to be more perceptive than he thought. He had sensed his intentions the second the thought passed through his mind and escaped.

Someone might ask why he hadn’t attacked Six Yins Boy and Blood Rakshasa sooner and killed them before either of them could escape. The answer was simple. One, he simply wasn’t strong enough to pull off such a feat. He

had

just ascended after all. Two, neither Six Yins Boy nor Blood Rakshasa were paper tigers like the likes of Mrs. Basket or Mountain Tunneling King. They were named warriors on the Earth Champions Ranking with numerous techniques and trump cards. Even in their current state, there was no chance he would be able to kill them easily. Worst case scenario, he might even fuck it up and pay the ultimate price.

Assuming that everything went as planned, and he somehow managed to kill the two Grandmasters. It would surely cost him greatly to pull off such a feat. Could he fend off the tigers and vultures still surrounding him from all sides when the time came? No, he probably couldn’t. The two Grandmasters would be dead, and his corpse would be splayed right next to theirs. What was the point?

That was why he did not pursue them. He needed to preserve his strength for what was to come.

As for whether the two Grandmasters would return in the future to seek revenge, he wasn’t too worried about it. Both of them were gravely wounded, and it would take them a long, long time to recover. In the short term, they would be crazy to show their faces in front of him. In the long term, they were even less of an issue. He already didn’t fear them when he was newly ascended and unstable, so why would he fear them when he had fully acclimatized to his power?

He had barely refined the wisp of Profound Yellow Mother Qi inside his body before he rushed to save Pedant Earth and Shangguan Hongjin. When it was fully refined and subsumed into his flesh and blood, he fully expected to gain another power boost.

Long story short, Six Yins Boy and Blood Rakshasa should be lucky if he chose not to hunt them down in the future. If they knew wisdom, they would steer clear of him like their life depended on it.

A sigh later, Ye Qing looked up and scanned his surroundings for a moment. Finally, he affixed his gaze at a certain spot and barked out a laugh. “Thank you all for bearing witness to my tribulation. Now that the curtains are drawn, I think you should all be on your way... unless you want me to send you on your way, of course!”

The large majority of the warriors spying on Ye Qing from the shadows got the hint and withdrew in silence. However, a small portion of them did not heed his warning. It was clear that they still hadn’t given up on the Profound Yellow Mother Qi and were hoping to get lucky.

Ye Qing took in their defiance, hesitation, greed, and more emotions for a moment before letting out a cold chuckle. Then, he stomped the ground so hard it was as if a thunderclap had erupted next to everyone’s ears. Many people instinctively covered their ears and fought against a sudden wave of dizziness.

Ye Qing suddenly disappeared from view, and flocks of birds took to the sky as if they were startled. A few breaths later, Ye Qing slowly stepped out of a nearby forest. He was holding two heads in his right hand[1].

The heads looked freshly ripped from their necks. Blood poured profusely from their wounds, and there was neither pain nor suffering on the victims’ faces, only shock and fear. That was how fast their lives had been stolen from them.

Ye Qing took his time to return to his original spot. He did not care to staunch the blood flowing out of the stumps either. Every time he took a step, copious amounts of blood would dripped off the wound and dye the ground red. Everyone’s breath were caught in their throat as if he was stepping on their hearts, not the ground.

No one dared to move a muscle, however. No one wanted to follow in the two dead bastards’ footsteps.

“I told you I don’t mind sending you on your way if you want me to.”

Smiling, Ye Qing dropped the heads on the ground before snarling, “Now

get lost!”

When the words escaped his lips, a terrific blast of wind washed out of him as well. The shout kicked up a massive dust cloud almost as if he just unleashed an attack.

This time, the lurkers did not dare to linger any longer. They fled in every direction with their tails firmly wedged between their legs.

“Yoho! The arrogance! The audacity!”

Zhang Lingyang quipped while slow-clapping Ye Qing.

“If you think you can fight off this many Grandmasters and send even Six Yins Boy and Blood Rakshasa packing singlehandedly, you can be as arrogant and audacious as him as well,” Mo Beiqiu said coldly.

“Of course I can! I promise you I’ll be stronger than him when I become a Trueman!”

Zhang Lingyang harrumphed and looked at Yun Qingxiao. “Young Yun, that arrogant boy just yelled at us like we’re naughty children. Don’t you want to get down there and teach him a lesson? I wouldn’t be able to take it if I were you!”

“I can’t defeat him, so I won’t!” Yun Qingxiao replied indifferently.

“Sigh! You’re fated to be single alright. You have one chance to show off in front of two beautiful women, and yet you couldn’t grasp it!” Zhang Lingyang booed Yun Qingxiao rambunctiously. “Boo! You’re a shame to our gender! Boo!”

“Why don’t you fight him then?” Yun Qingxiao lifted an eyebrow.

If you’re going to talk a big talk, then you better back it up with some actual substance.

“You think I can’t?” Zhang Lingyang rolled his eyes at Yun Qingxiao. “If I wasn’t in charge of protecting these two lovely ladies, I would’ve gone down there and taught that arrogant boy a lesson a long time ago.”

“I don’t need your protection,” Mo Beiqiu said immediately.

Get down there and kill yourself!

Greenlake Bai echoed in agreement as well. As always, she was happy to sprinkle chaos whatever the situation.

1. You can do it if you grab them by the neck. I uh, I’ve had the misfortune of watching a horrifying clip during my younger days ☜
