Stellar Transformation-Chapter 136 - 6 episodes Sword through Throat ( - 3)
Flanked by a throng of followers, the Qingxuan Ancestor’s presence was indeed formidable, even now when one guardian after another from the Red Blood Cave Mansion appeared, he still lay on his lounge chair, not bothering to even glance directly at them, exuding authority from above.
"Qingxuan, to act so arrogantly in my Red Blood Cave Mansion is simply too much," Teng Bi said coldly.
The Qingxuan Ancestor glanced at Teng Bi with a wicked smirk reminiscent of an owl and said, "Teng Bi, if you side with me, I could appoint you as the vice cave master of my cave mansion in the future. How about it?" The Qingxuan Ancestor was also aware of Teng Bi’s strength, naturally wanting to win him over.
"Oh, Qingxuan Turtle. To try and win over Boss Teng outside the gates of the Red Blood Cave Mansion is really disregarding our cave master entirely. It’s simply..." Yan Qing sneered disapprovingly.
The Qingxuan Ancestor’s face darkened, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.
Yan Qing quickly clung to Teng Bi’s arm and said, "Big Brother Teng, that old turtle is scaring me. I’m really frightened. You must protect me." Though Yan Qing appeared frightened and panicked on the surface, her eyes betrayed a hint of mockery.
Seeing Yan Qing act this way, Teng Bi also couldn’t help but smile slightly.
"Wretched woman, I will seal your nascent soul, skin you alive, and let you die in agony," the Qingxuan Ancestor shouted angrily.
The Qingxuan Ancestor hated being called ’Qingxuan Turtle’ or ’old turtle.’ He preferred being addressed as ’Ancestor.’ Yet, Yan Qing insulted him repeatedly, how could the Qingxuan Ancestor not be furious?
"Oh, I am so scared," Yan Qing cooed once more.
The Qingxuan Ancestor’s eyebrows trembled with rage.
"Old turtle, stop wasting time here. With your little ability, you think you can vie for the position of cave master? Don’t flatter yourself," the Wu Feng brothers sneered at the Qingxuan Ancestor, showing no fear whatsoever.
The Xuan Turtle brothers remained silent.
Among tortoises, the Xuan Turtle brothers were quite rare. In comparison, the Qingxuan Ancestor was just an ordinary old turtle who had reached his current realm only through prolonged cultivation. The Xuan Turtle brothers genuinely looked down on the Qingxuan Ancestor.
"All of you, prepare to be refined to death by my true fire, your souls scattered to the winds!"
The Qingxuan Ancestor pointed at the Nine Guardians and berated them, his anger fully ignited. Originally, he was flanked by followers, imagining a scene where the guardians of the Red Blood Cave Mansion would be trembling in fear upon seeing him.
However, he was wrong; these guardians all looked down on him.
Teng Bi, Yan Qing, Xi Yan, the three Ba Ming brothers, the two Wu Feng brothers, and Zhuang Zhong – all Nine Guardians watched the Qingxuan Ancestor without any fear. Others might not know Qin Yu’s true strength, but these guardians did.
Let alone Qin Yu, even the Second Cave Master Hou Fei and the Third Cave Master Hei Yu’s powers were formidably fearsome.
"Oh, wanting to refine my guardians with true fire without even asking if I, the cave master, would agree, Qingxuan Ancestor, you’re meddling far too much," Qin Yu’s voice echoed for hundreds of miles around. Fifty to sixty thousand Demon Cultivators from the Red Blood Territory all gathered to watch.
An endless sea of Demon Cultivators looked up at the Red Blood Cave Mansion.
Clad in a black robe, Qin Yu took only two steps before he was in front of the Nine Guardians, directly facing the Qingxuan Ancestor. Unlike his former demeanor as a guardian, Qin Yu now had a constant slight smile on his face, very composed.
Qin Yu stood as straight as a javelin, his black robe fluttering without wind, billowing dramatically.
As soon as the Qingxuan Ancestor saw Qin Yu, his brow furrowed slightly: "This junior doesn’t look to be a mediocre opponent. It seems defeating him won’t be simple." Seeing Qin Yu, the Qingxuan Ancestor suddenly wasn’t entirely confident anymore.
Upon reflection, he snorted, "This youngster was merely a Protector under Cha Hong’s command; his strength must be inferior to Cha Hong’s. Even if Cha Hong himself were to come, he could not subdue me, let alone his lesser follower."
Upon this thought, Qingxuan Ancestor instantly felt much more relaxed.
"Youngster, I had someone send you a Jade Scroll; did you see it? You can choose to obediently resign and hand over the Red Blood Cave Mansion to me, or resist stubbornly until the end, requiring me to personally intervene and kill you, scattering your soul."
Qingxuan Ancestor had an overbearing aura.
Qin Yu frowned.
"Qingxuan, you are truly overestimating yourself," Qin Yu said, feeling that Qingxuan Ancestor before him was greatly overestimating his abilities.
"Humph!"
Qingxuan Ancestor suddenly scoffed coldly, his figure moved, and his green hair flew about wildly like arrows. Qingxuan Ancestor himself leaped out of the lounge chair, stood in mid-air, and coldly stared at Qin Yu. His eyes emitted a greenish glow.
"Youngster, I have given you face time and again, and yet you still think you are the Cave Master, acting arrogantly before me. Well then, don’t blame me for being merciless," Qingxuan Ancestor said with a sinister smile, his words filled with murderous intent.
Qin Yu smiled as he gazed at Qingxuan Ancestor.
Qingxuan Ancestor, feeling angry under Qin Yu’s stare, said, "Youngster, don’t you know that in the Undersea Demon Cultivator World, strength is paramount? Just because those Protectors and Guards acknowledge you as Cave Master, do you think you really are one? Well, I will show you what true strength is!"
Qin Yu’s eyebrows rose.
"Oh, Qingxuan, are you finally ready to make a move?" Qin Yu glanced disdainfully at the Demon Cultivators clustered around below Qingxuan Ancestor, then looked back at Qingxuan Ancestor.
"Are you afraid?" Qingxuan Ancestor suddenly felt a trace of satisfaction.
What he had long awaited was for the Cave Master to automatically bow down to him – this would grant him more glory than killing Qin Yu and seizing the position of Cave Master.
"No, I’ve been waiting for you to make a move; you’re just too noisy," Qin Yu clenched his fists, suddenly creating a crackling noise; many Nascent Soul stage Demon Cultivators immediately changed their expressions, including Qingxuan Ancestor.
Because these experts realized that the sound was not of joints popping, but the air inside his clenched fist bursting due to the sudden tight grip. The force and speed required for that to happen were immense.
It should be known that when ordinary people or even general experts clench their hands into fists, air typically moves too quickly to burst, unless the speed of clenching exceeds the airflow, creating this rare phenomenon. (This is similar to the ’Qi Explosion’ caused by an expert throwing a punch quickly, but with an even greater difficulty.)
"Very well, you indeed have some strength, but you’re still no match for me," Qingxuan Ancestor’s long eyebrows danced, and suddenly an Octagonal Hammer appeared in his hand, a heavy Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact, and Armor appeared on his body as well.
A cheer erupted from below.
The Demon Cultivators under Qingxuan Ancestor seemed to foresee the scene of Qingxuan Ancestor killing Qin Yu.
"Big Brother, take care of this old turtle," a sinister voice came from the Red Blood Cave Mansion, and an ape with a Black Stick over its shoulder swaggered out, naturally emitting an aura as formidable as that of an ancient Fierce Beast.
Qingxuan Ancestor’s expression drastically changed.
"Qingxuan, weren’t you going to refine and kill me with True Fire?" Qin Yu suddenly smiled.
All those present saw Qin Yu instantly turn into a golden streak of light, just a streak of light. The Qingxuan Ancestor’s eyes widened in horror, as he hastily swung the Octagonal Hammer. However, the Qingxuan Ancestor’s movements suddenly stopped; he did not move again.
Qin Yu’s figure reappeared, already in front of the Qingxuan Ancestor. Qin Yu’s right hand stretched out, and the dark green short sword in his right hand pierced through the Qingxuan Ancestor’s throat.
"Ancestor, Ancestor!" Bai Yan shouted in terror.
Bai Yan knew that the Ancestor had reached the early-stage Cave Void, and logically, his soul could merge with the Nascent Soul and escape. However, Bai Yan had no idea that through the Flame Sword, Qin Yu instantly infused a strand of True Star Fire into the Qingxuan Ancestor’s body.
Before the Qingxuan Ancestor’s Nascent Soul could escape, the True Star Fire directly enveloped the Nascent Soul.
"Spare me, spare me!"
The Qingxuan Ancestor’s Nascent Soul cried out in terror.
"Weren’t you going to refine me to death with true fire? I want you to taste that feeling," Qin Yu communicated through spiritual sense. Qin Yu controlled his True Fire with purity, even though the True Fire was inside the Qingxuan Ancestor’s body, it did not harm his body.
Accompanied by a scream from the Qingxuan Ancestor, his soul finally dissipated, and Qin Yu directly gathered the Nascent Soul into his Space Ring, unable to help but crack a slight smile, so easily gaining another early-stage Cave Void Nascent Soul.
"Puh!"
Qin Yu pulled out the sword, fresh blood spurted from the Qingxuan Ancestor’s throat, yet Qin Yu, like instantaneous movement, immediately moved several meters away. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
"Boom!"
The Qingxuan Ancestor’s body listlessly fell, drifting continuously with the seawater.
Dumbstruck!
The thousands of Demon Cultivators under the Qingxuan Ancestor, Qin Yu’s five thousand guards from the Red Blood Cave Mansion, the Nine Guardians, and densely packed fifty to sixty thousand Demon Cultivators from the Red Blood Territory, were all dumbstruck watching this scene.
"How is this possible?" Bai Yan muttered to himself, unable to believe it.
The other Demon Cultivators were so shocked they couldn’t utter a single word.
A high-level practitioner of the early-stage Cave Void, yet under Qin Yu’s hand could not execute even a single move, being directly stabbed through the throat with just one strike. What shocked them most was Qin Yu’s speed; among the experts present, except for Hou Fei, no one else even saw Qin Yu make a move.
In the past, all the experts believed that strength and energy were the most important. However, at that moment, they realized that speed, when it reached a terrifying level, was also an extremely frightening attack power.
"Gentlemen."
Qin Yu spoke up, and all the Demon Cultivators dared not make a sound, all listening intently to what Qin Yu was about to say. In the world of Demon Cultivators, strength is the most revered, Qin Yu’s power was so formidable, who would not respect him?
"Today Qingxuan wanted to take my position as Cave Master, but!" Qin Yu’s voice turned cold, "To take the position of Cave Master, one must have enough strength. People like Qingxuan, who lack strength and yet still try to seize it, are courting death!"
Qin Yu’s icy gaze swept over everyone below.
"Under the domain of Red Blood Cave Mansion, I do not want to see a place like the Qingxuan Territory. Within eight million miles, I want everyone to understand one thing: in this eight million-mile water domain, there is only one dominator, and that is my Red Blood Cave Mansion. Anyone who defies me will only face soul dispersion and utter annihilation!"
Dominating!
No tolerance for any defiance!
"Under Red Blood Cave Mansion’s domain, there are nearly a hundred Nascent Soul cultivators, and forty to fifty of them, although not protectors, also reside within the Red Blood Territory and will obey Red Blood Cave Mansion’s command in crucial times. It seems Qingxuan Territory has twenty to thirty Nascent Soul cultivators."
Qin Yu suddenly walked up to Bai Yan.
"I ask you, do you wish to continue down Qingxuan’s old path, you must understand, walking the old path and the Qingxuan Ancestor’s fate will be no different," Qin Yu said and then turned and went back to the Red Blood Cave Mansion.
Bai Yan was a smart man and of course, understood Qin Yu’s words.
At first, Qin Yu said he did not want to have a place like the Qingxuan Territory that endlessly defied orders. If there were such a place, it would be utterly annihilated. Now, having specifically addressed him, the leader of the Qingxuan Territory, Bai Yan knew Qin Yu gave him two options.
Those who follow me will prosper!
Those against me will perish!
Bai Yan clenched his teeth and made a decision in his heart.
...
As he entered the Red Blood Cave Mansion, walking back to Thunder Mountain Residence, Qin Yu and Hou Fei walked side by side.
"Haha, Big Brother, thrilling, truly thrilling. A sword through the throat," Hou Fei was extremely excited, bloodthirsty and brutal, wanting to smash anyone he found disagreeable with a stick. If it hadn’t been for Qin Yu’s earlier command, with the arrogance of Qingxuan Ancestor, Hou Fei would have killed him long before.
After hearing Hou Fei’s words, Qin Yu felt somewhat helpless.
Qin Yu, showing such an overwhelming attitude this time, did not really want to in his heart. Qin Yu inherently cared about his own people and was uninterested in managing what others wanted to do. However, this is the world of Cultivators, Qin Yu understood, if he were soft in his attitude without a threatening presence, those Demon Cultivators instead would look down on him.
It’s the law of the jungle, supremacy to the strong, one must conquer everything with an overwhelming attitude, making everyone understand that in this eight-million-mile water domain, I am the dominator, no one dares to defy me, those who do so will face soul dispersion and utter annihilation.
Only in this way can one fully control the entire eight-million-mile water domain.
As time passed, the results also proved that Qin Yu’s approach was correct.
The population of the Red Blood Territory grew rapidly, not only did people from the Qingxuan Territory move there, but even other Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators, frightened by Qin Yu, moved there, and some Nascent Soul Cultivators even asked to become protectors.
In just one month, the entire Red Blood Territory became as solid as a block of iron, completely obeying the command of Red Blood Cave Mansion, one could say, the influence of Red Blood Cave Mansion was much stronger than when Cha Hong was alive. Because the current Cave Master, Qin Yu, was even more powerful!
However, this news spread very quickly, and the neighboring Giant Armor Cave Mansion would soon receive the message.
