Chapter 1233B. The Great Beast Awakens
…
As his voice fell, the young man stepped forward again. Perhaps it was in order to accurately lock onto the whereabouts of the two, or perhaps it was because he was being discreet, but the distance he crossed was much shorter this time.
Even so, after several continuous steps, he arrived at the place where Qin Yu left behind the black hairs.
The young man appeared. He took a deep breath and smiled, “The fragrance of peach blossoms. Are you two here?”
He looked up, his eyes piercing through the rain curtain and landing on the mountain in the distance.
Its lush vegetation swayed beneath the violent storm. Leaves were whipped around, making crackling sounds.
One step. Two steps. Three steps.
Without continuing to tear through space, the young man walked through the rain curtain. His eyes wandered over the mountain, a playful look in his eyes.
Sensitivity to scents was his innate ability, and it had been an unexpected help in cultivating his Great Dao. He never thought that he would have to use it in hunting down two juniors today. Even speaking of it was a disgrace.
But luckily, unless he was locked onto by the Spring Master, this would become one of his life’s secrets that would never be known by anyone.
If his luck wasn’t good and he really was locked onto, then in a situation where he couldn’t even guarantee his life, what did it matter if something was disgraceful or not?
But he was overthinking things.
As he thought, even if it is me, I will still feel nervous before I kill Peachy.
After all, this matter likely involved cutting off a True Saint’s Great Dao!
Moreover, it was the Spring Master, a peerless powerhouse who stood at the peak of True Saints, just a step away from becoming a supreme Ruler.
The cause and effects this involved were great beyond imagination. Once it erupted, it would inevitably cause a great stir that would sweep through the entire vast brightness world.
The young man took a deep breath and exhaled. He slowly smiled.
When he received the reward, he had already prepared himself to deal with all the consequences. What was the point of being nervous now?
Let’s begin!
He lifted a hand…
But at this time, as if sensing something, the young man furrowed his eyebrows. He kept his hand in a raised position but his fingers were entirely still. He didn’t complete the grasping motion.
Rain poured down. The young man stood in front of the mountain, as motionless as a statue.
But even though he didn’t move, the mountain in front of him did. With a loud roar, the ground cracked apart and landslides occurred as the lush vegetation was torn to shreds by a terrifying force.
An incomparably giant claw reached out from the shattered earth, pushing back the rain as it soared towards the young man.
He had been deceived again!
Looking at the terrifying giant claw reaching at him, the first thought that the young man had was to flee.
But to be honest, this feeling of being played again and again wasn’t good, especially for an incomparably powerful and arrogant Saint.
He had been repeatedly played around with by two juniors who weren’t much stronger than ants!
Anger flooded his chest and inevitably influenced his mind. This caused the young man to do something he felt incomparable regret about.
Without dodging, the young man formed a fist and punched at the grasping claw.
In terms of size, the young man wasn’t even 1% of this giant claw. But, strength had never been decided by size alone.
Bang –
There was a heaven-shaking explosion. A terrifying impact of strength erupted, and the surrounding curtain of rain for a thousand miles was blown away, forming a blank space.
Countless drops of rain shot outwards as they broke through the atmosphere, each one containing the aftermath of the collision!
It was like a meteor from the skies crumbling into pieces as it came crashing down. Each piece carried with it the power of 10,000 jins as they blasted into the earth, creating terrifyingly deep holes.
The earth shivered and howled!
The young man remained motionless. But, the giant claw that grasped at him from the shattered earth was forced back, sent slamming into the ground.
“You dare to be so dissolute towards me? How bold!”
With an ice-cold shout, the temperature between the heavens and earth began to rapidly drop. The falling rain froze in midair, turning into ice.
Paka –
Paka –
Ice particles smashed to the ground.
The young man sneered, “Consider yourself lucky today. I have no intention of getting entangled with the likes of you.”
He turned and walked away.
He had already seen the hair that flew out when the ground shattered and knew that he had been deceived. He certainly wouldn’t stay here any longer.
Killing intent and anger wove together in his chest, blazing red hot!
“You…how bold…” A deep voice came from deep beneath the earth. It echoed with the world, sweeping in from all directions like rough waves.
The young man’s complexion changed and he stepped out. Space shook. He wanted to tear open space and leave, but he came to a stop instead.
The shaking space smoothed away as if it had been wiped over by an invisible hand…this was just what he saw on the surface. The truth was that this entire space had been locked down by invisible shackles.
Or to be more accurate, he had been sealed from using the Space Laws just now!
Bang –
Bang –
The earth constantly broke apart as the mountain and the trees on it disintegrated to dust. An extremely terrifying aura blotted out the skies.
Withstanding that all-out strike from a Saint was the tipping point that awakened this great beast from its deep slumber!
…
In the pitch black cave, Qin Yu opened his eyes. It just happened that a bolt of lightning tore through the skies, its light illuminating the shine in his eyes.
He lay Peachy down and stood up, walking over to the cave entrance. The wind and rain was still as violent as it was at the beginning, obscuring everything from sight.
But this didn’t stop Qin Yu from feeling the terrifying shaking fluctuations that filled the heavens and earth. Although they were far away, they still caused the heart to shake.
The trap he had risked himself to prepare had been triggered. Qin Yu’s first thought was that Old Turtle was correct. The beast hidden below the mountain was abnormally terrifying.
Personally fighting with the shadow was enough to come to this judgment.
His plan was successful and a Saint had been caught in his trap. This was certainly something worth boasting about. But in fact, Qin Yu didn’t feel any happiness at all. He looked towards the epicenter of where those terrifying fluctuations had erupted and he frowned.
The trap was triggered, meaning that the Saint had arrived. He and Peachy would soon have to withstand that man’s incomparably cruel pursuit.
Why was this described as incomparably cruel?
Hoho, if you were in that person’s position and was repeatedly played by two ants that you didn’t even see in your eyes, just how angry would you become?
The truth was simple. If they really fell in that Saint’s hands, perhaps death would be the best form of release for them!
If Qin Yu could, he would rather his plan come to nothing. But what a pity, the world never moved according to one’s individual will.
Since this had already happened, further thinking about it was meaningless. What Qin Yu hoped was that the thing hidden beneath that mountain was strong enough to kill the Saint or at least cause heavy enough losses that he was forced to flee. This was definitely a result he could accept.
The rainstorm continued for an entire night. When the horizon started to light up, it began to slow down. The temperature between the heavens and earth started to gradually climb.
As a massive amount of water evaporated, an unbearable feeling came along with the damp heat. Qin Yu took a deep breath and exhaled. The fighting in the distance had stopped as the sky brightened.
He didn’t know what the result was, but after an entire night of fierce combat, even a Saint wouldn’t be in a good condition.
But no matter whether the other party retreated or not, this had bought a great deal of time for him and Peachy.
He hoped the Spring Master could catch up as soon as possible!
…
The young man’s face was pale white, his robes were torn in many places, and his breathing was labored. He looked extremely distressed. Qin Yu was right. The battle hadn’t been easy for him, and he had suffered many losses.
The awakened great beast wasn’t too strong. At least compared to him, there was still a disparity. But for some unknown reason, this other party was able to resonate with the world. To fight with this beast here was the same as fighting within its domain.
He hands and feet were tied. He fiercely fought for an entire night, but not only did he not kill the beast, he had suffered several serious injuries instead. He appeared calm on the surface, but his chest was full of raging killing intent and the coldness in his eyes could freeze water.
As a Saint, it had been a long time since he suffered such a great loss. Although it was the result of battling this great beast, in the end it could all be blamed on Peachy and Qin Yu.
He took a deep breath and looked up, turning his head towards the opposite direction of the great beast, a chill surging in his eyes, “You cannot escape…neither of you can escape…”
Qin Yu hoped that the Spring Master could arrive as soon as possible. The young man also knew that a long time had passed, far exceeding the agreement he had with the Scholartree Saint.
The Spring Master really could show up at any time. He had to hurry.
So after some hesitation, the young man chose to forcibly suppress his injuries. But this would inevitably damage his Great Dao.
The Great Dao was the foundation of a Saint. At any other time, the young man would never have chosen to do this, but he had no other choice right now.
He lifted a hand and placed a finger between his eyebrows. With a light humph, the young man’s complexion became ruddy and his dispirited aura was mostly restored.
Shua –
His figure flickered and he vanished into the distance.
After discovering the existence of the great beast and also leaving behind a trap, in order to avoid being involved and also to avoid being sensed, they must have chosen to flee as far away from this place as they could.
In other words, this was the direction Qin Yu and Peachy were most likely to have gone in.
Space surged and the young man stepped out. He closed his eyes and the divine sense of a Saint swept forth.
But soon, his complexion darkened and he coldly snorted.
His Saint’s perception was being blocked by some invisible strength. It was greatly diminished in the scanning accuracy and coverage.
It was that damned great beast!
That damned creature. Right now, killing those two juniors was the most important thing, but if he had a chance in the future he would find two helpers and come back to eliminate it!
Since he couldn’t do anything to that great beast for the time being, thinking about it was only a waste of time. The young man took a deep breath and looked around.
At the start, he came here based on his rational judgment. But after arriving, a clear intuition emerged from the bottom of his heart – they were here!
There was a chance that Peachy and Qin Yu were hidden somewhere in the forest in front of him.
He couldn’t determine exactly where they were hidden, but this didn’t mean that he didn’t have the means to kill them.
Some things couldn’t be imagined, but that were only because a person’s boundary was lacking. Since Peachy and Qin Yu were here, he would slowly push them out.
It was simple and crude!
The efficiency might be a bit lower and he would inevitably waste some strength, but the advantage was that this was absolutely effective.
As long as they were here, he would find them sooner or later. This was his only plan, and also the best plan.
