Chapter 1544: Favor
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The battle instantly erupted as chaotic law energies permeated the atmosphere. One of the bandits coldly spoke, “We told you all not to move. You guys don’t even want a path of survival?”
As he spoke, he punched out, directly killing a group of experts who were fleeing away.
Right now, although the bandits had the advantage, their numbers were not plenty. In fact, the number of bandits was even fewer than the guards, let alone the excavators.
Upon seeing the guards and bandits fighting, how could the excavators not choose to flee?
Qin Wentian cast a glance at the battlefield and instantly understood that this was a one-sided fight. The guards were simply not a match for the bandits. The bandits dealing with the two immortal emperors were extremely terrifying. They instantly soared up into the air to battle, effortlessly suppressing the immortal emperors.
“They want us to fight so they can use the chance to flee away. Bastards.” Someone cursed in anger. Seems like the two immortal emperors already understood this was a losing battle and were hurriedly fleeing away. But the two bandits were stronger than them, how could they allow the two immortal emperors to flee?
What made people feel even more despair was that that terrifying demonic lion and the figure standing on its back had not even acted yet.
Upon seeing the two immortal emperors fleeing, only then did the figure on the lion’s back float up in the air. After that, the gigantic lion shot towards the direction of the immortal emperors as a jade-green light permeated their surroundings, directly drilling into their minds. The two immortal emperors under the Jialan Monarch immediately let out roars of pain but no matter how they struggled, they couldn’t change their fate.
“Is this the strength of bandits?” Qin Wentian stared at the massacre in the air. These bandits even dared to kill immortal emperors under the Jialan Monarch. These people weren’t just the subordinates of the Jialan Monarch, they were also considered subordinates of the Lifire Empyrean.
This was the first time he encountered bandits, and he had to encounter such a large group. Qin Wentian couldn’t help but to curse silently. This time around, he was truly in miserable straits due to Jialan Mingyue. Why did she have to send him here to this mine?
“Let’s go.” Qin Wentian spoke softly to Yang Yun`er, silently retreating in a direction.
“Qin Wentian, you won’t be able to flee if you bring me with you. Just leave alone.” Yang Yun`er transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian. Although she felt despair, she wasn’t willing to drag Qin Wentian down. Before this, if it wasn’t for Qin Wentian protecting her in the mine, she might have already died.
“If we don’t try, how would we know?” Qin Wentian didn’t say anything more and directly brought her along as he soared into the air. A spatial gate flashed into existence and he stepped into it, shuttling through the void.
“Mhm?” An expert noticed the fluctuations. After noting down his cultivation base, two peak-stage immortal kings sped through the air with lightning speed. One of the two peak-stage immortal king was also proficient in spatial laws and he could trace Qin Wentian’s movements directly.
Qin Wentian wanted to open up another spatial gate again but that immortal king flooded the area with his own spatial law energy, scrambling the space. At the same moment, the other peak-stage immortal king had already arrived. As he closed in, a terrifyingly heavy pressure bore down on Qin Wentian and Yang Yun`er. Yang Yun`er directly coughed out blood as she paled.
“Sirs, we are just excavators. If you all want the meteor stones, we can give them all to you.” Qin Wentian took out his interspatial ring. He naturally didn’t give a damn about these two peak-stage immortal kings. But there were still immortal emperors in the surroundings. Not only that, the leader of this group didn’t even act yet. He wouldn’t dare to be so impulsive as to kill people directly. That would only be courting death.
“Hmph.” That peak-stage immortal king coldly snorted as he stomped down in the air. Yang Yun`er groaned and coughed out a mouthful of blood. Qin Wentian’s law energy surrounded her, forming a barrier as he stared up at that peak-stage immortal king coldly.
“I’m willing to give up my interspatial ring. Don’t push things too far.” Qin Wentian held out the hand with the ring in the air. As long as the other party agreed, he would just give the ring away. Meteor stones can always be excavated again but life was precious. He didn’t wish to die again. In addition, his rebirth back then was due to a series of lucky coincidences.
“Too late. We will take your ring and your life as well.” That immortal king stomped down again as a heavy gravitational force slammed into Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian could clearly sense a formless pressure mercilessly pressing down on him. If he was an ordinary mid-stage immortal king, this strike was already sufficient to take his life.
“Why must your force me?” An extremely icy killing intent flickered in Qin Wentian’s eyes. In an instant, his gaze turned demonic. The face of the peak-stage immortal king up in the air changed. After that, he fell into a dimension formed from an eye-technique, trapped within illusions.
“KILL!” A flawlessly pure sword beam shot through the air. The immortal king trembled as terror shone on his face. Everything was already too late. The sword beam penetrated his body, crippling his defenses. Qin Wentian took a step forward and grabbed his throat while hoisting him up the air. He then coldly spoke, “Since you want death so much, I shall grant it to you.”
As the sound of his voice rang out, a tyrannical piercing look of sharpness shot from his eyes, lacerating the peak-stage immortal king into pieces.
Everything happened in the span of a single breath. It was too quick, so quick that even the immortal king proficient in spatial energy couldn’t react in time.
This peak-stage immortal king waved his hand as spatial energy formed a spear that shot towards Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian’s aura radiated forth as a spatial shield appeared before him, blocking that attack. After that, that peak-stage immortal king fell into the same dimension created by Qin Wentian’s eye technique and couldn’t struggle free no matter how hard he tried to.
“KILL!” Once Qin Wentian acted, he had no intentions of showing mercy, he would kill when he said kill. In the blink of an eye, that peak-stage immortal king died as well.
“Mhm?” The experts from afar all had shock on their faces when they saw this. The leader also glanced at Qin Wentian in surprise. After that, a group of experts flew towards Qin Wentian with a glance from the leader.
“Immortal emperors, two immortal emperors.” Qin Wentian’s expression turned ashen. He once again stepped into a spatial gate but the spatial law in the area was disrupted easily with a palm strike from one of the immortal emperors.
Several peak-stage immortal kings and immortal emperors stood before Qin Wentian and Yang Yun`er.
“Yun`er. Seems like I won’t be able to protect you any longer.” Qin Wentian softly spoke to Yang Yun`er beside her.
Yang Yun`er’s eyes instantly turned red. she stared at the leader, “Senior, we were forced to enter the mine to excavate for cultivation resources. Why do you have to kill us?”
“I only gave the order to kill the guards, not the excavators. You guys are the one who wanted to flee, disobeying my orders” The leader spoke. What made Qin Wentian start was that this voice was actually quite melodious. It was a female voice.
The leader of this group of powerful bandits was actually a female immortal emperor.
“Also, you just killed my men.” The female immortal emperor glanced at Qin Wentian, her revealed eyes shining brightly.
As the sound of her voice faded, an immortal emperor walked out beside her. Instantly, astral light fell from the sky, boring down on him, forming a resonance with the immortal emperor.
“If I die in the fight, senior, please spare her life.” Qin Wentian pushed Yang Yun`er aside as she soared up into the air, facing the immortal emperor alone.
“Qin Wentian.” Yang Yun`er’s eyes were red. As for that female immortal emperor, a look of intrigue appeared on her face. This fellow was a mid-stage immortal king but he wanted to fight an immortal emperor? Wasn’t he overestimating himself?
That immortal emperor grabbed out with his palm, manifesting a giant hand in the air that brimmed with tyrannical might, as it smashed towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian lifted his palm and slammed out. With a thunderous bang, that giant hand was actually crushed by Qin Wentian. This caused the eyes of everyone to narrow. At the immortal emperor realm, even if it was a casual attack, it should be sufficient to destroy a peak-stage immortal king. But at this moment, a mid-stage immortal king actually dared to fight head-on with an immortal emperor.
“Hahaha!” That immortal emperor laughed loudly. Another giant palm appeared. The fingers on this palm transformed into gigantic mountains that covered the sky, blotting out everything, creating a scene resembling an apocalypse.
At this moment, an incomparably resplendent divine glow radiated from him, actually brimming with buddhic might.
The him right now was like an ancient buddha. Not only that, a powerful radiance flowed around him, as ten thousand arms appeared behind him. All of the manifested arms blasted out, aiming to break the five gigantic mountains. Between the two of them, the energy storm created from the aftershocks was extremely terrifying, capable of shattering everything into pieces.
The revealed eyes of the female immortal king flashed with interest. The attack of an immortal emperor was actually continuously blocked by a mid-stage immortal king?
The immortal emperor snorted as the astral light resonance from him grew in intensity. Qin Wentian actually stepped forward. A pair of terrifying eyes appeared behind him as his eyes turned demonic. In an instant, with a single glance, that immortal emperor felt himself being trapped in a dimension created by an eye-technique.
“Enough.” A gentle voice rang out, causing Qin Wentian who wanted to initiate an attack to freeze. He quickly retracted his energy. His opponent also was stunned, inclining his head to look at the female immortal emperor.
“From now on, you will follow me.” The revealed eyes of the female immortal emperor flashed with a bright smile as she spoke to Qin Wentian. Upon seeing the bright light in her eyes, a strange look appeared on Qin Wentian’s face.
Follow her?
Could it be that he would really have no choice but to become a bandit?
However, in this situation, can he even reject? If he did so, it would simply be courting death.
“Fine. Senior, can you spare my friend?” Qin Wentian pointed to Yang Yun`er as he spoke.
“No problem, she’s just a little lass.” The female immortal emperor clearly didn’t care much about Yang Yun`er. After that, she directly turned around and left. The immortal emperor who fought with Qin Wentian coldly looked at him with unhappiness flashing in his eyes. But he didn’t say anything and followed after the female immortal emperor. The other bandits also cast a deep glance at him. This fellow actually managed to obtain her favor!
