Boom!
Spurt!
Blood splattered everywhere as Bai Yi suddenly launched an attack, wanting to kill the man in black instantly, to completely rid themselves of him, and so that Qingxue could escape from the man’s control and no longer be threatened with her life!
Bai Yi didn’t strike blindly nor without consideration. He had already assessed that the man in black also possessed a Mid-stage Martial Saint Cultivation Realm. Indeed, his strength was formidable and unfathomable, but Bai Yi was confident in his own combat abilities. Plus, with the Cheng Ying Sword, one of the ten Ancient Divine Swords, in hand, he might just have a chance to slay him with a surprise attack!
However, it seemed Bai Yi underestimated the man’s despicable and ruthless nature. When he suddenly struck, mid-air Qingxue screamed. It was a heart-wrenching scream that also made Bai Yi feel a tearing pain. He stopped in mid-air, and at that moment, the man in black sent him flying with a palm strike!
Bai Yi fell to the ground, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, yet he paid no heed to his own life or death. He only rushed towards Qingxue because she had passed out from the pain, which pained Bai Yi’s heart. His plan had failed. The man in black had long anticipated his moves, and being despicable and ruthless, he wouldn’t confront Bai Yi head-on, merely controlling Qingxue so Bai Yi couldn’t make a move.
"Xueer, Xueer..." Bai Yi tightly held Qingxue’s hand, softly calling out.
"Go, quickly go, don’t mind me..." Qingxue’s weak voice came through, her eyes unable to open.
"Don’t think about escaping. Hand over the true Cultivation Treasure, or she will be destroyed both in form and spirit immediately!" the man in black said coldly, looking at Qingxue.
Bai Yi glanced at Qingxue, then at the man in black, a hint of disappointment and loneliness in his eyes. He had tried his best, yet he couldn’t escape with Qingxue. The man in black had planted a controlling talisman in Qingxue’s Divine Thought, which meant no matter where they escaped to, they would be found, and Qingxue’s life was in the man’s hands. This time, there’s no doubt he would kill Qingxue!
"If I hand over the true Cultivation Treasure to you, you must spare Qingxue’s life!" Bai Yi said, looking at the man in black.
"You aren’t qualified to negotiate with me, you should just obey!" the man in black replied disdainfully.
"Since it’s certain death anyway, why not die along with the true Cultivation Treasure?" Bai Yi asked with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
The man in black frowned, caught off guard by Bai Yi’s words. He had spent many years planning meticulously to ensure that neither the Fox Clan nor the Wolf Clan’s other powerful figures knew it was his doing, to quietly obtain the true Cultivation Treasure, and then silence them. Otherwise, the man in black wouldn’t have taken such painstaking efforts to make Qingxue save Bai Yi, allowing him to live quietly in the Peach Blossom Forest for seven or eight years. Actually, all this was according to the man in black’s plan and control. The only unexpected things were: first, Qingxue genuinely developed feelings for Bai Yi, deflecting for him over the years, granting him cultivation opportunities; second, Bai Yi turned out to be a cultivation genius, previously undiscovered, rising to become a Mid-stage Martial Saint in such a short time.
The only leverage the man in black had was that he had long anticipated Qingxue’s situation, having planted a controlling rune in her Divine Thought. As long as he willed it, Qingxue would be destroyed both in form and spirit. This not only controlled Qingxue but also Bai Yi, with the man in black’s sole goal being to obtain the true Cultivation Treasure!
"Fine, hand over the Cultivation Treasure, and I’ll spare her life. But you, you must die!" the man in black said coldly, looking at Bai Yi.
"Agreed!" Bai Yi nodded in agreement.
"No, don’t do this Bai Yi, it’s not worth it! You still have a Blood Sea revenge, and he won’t keep his word!" Qingxue struggled to say to Bai Yi.
Bai Yi held Qingxue, looking at her tenderly. A tear fell on Qingxue’s cheek as he smiled and said, "From the day you saved me, I fell in love with you. All these years, I had no idea you did so many things for me. My heart was only set on cultivation, only on revenge, never considering your feelings, yet you never blamed me and silently stayed by my side. Now, I can’t be selfish any longer. You saved my life, so I must save you!"
"Fool, don’t do this, we will both die. He won’t keep his word, you..." Qingxue anxiously said.
"I know he won’t keep his word, but now I have no more regrets. To die with you, I am willing!" Bai Yi interrupted Qingxue with a smile, saying.
Qingxue was suddenly stunned. Perhaps she didn’t expect that Bai Yi’s feelings for her ran so deep. He could give up years of blood feud for her, abandon the Cultivation Treasure for her, and was willing to die together with her!
"Have you finished talking? Hand over the real Cultivation Treasure, and I’ll keep my promise!" the man in black sneered.
"No, don’t..." Qingxue looked at Bai Yi, shaking her head vigorously. However, Bai Yi stood up, glanced at the man in black, then waved his right hand, producing a piece of parchment the size of a palm in his hand.
When such a palm-sized piece of broken parchment appeared in Bai Yi’s hands, the man in black frowned and scoffed, "Are you still trying to mess with me?"
"You don’t believe me?" Bai Yi asked calmly.
"Of course not. The real Cultivation Treasure, the Demon Clan’s supreme Cultivation Treasure, would be nothing more than a shabby piece of parchment the size of a palm? Saying that aloud would be a laughing stock!" the man in black scoffed.
"Hehe, that’s because you all simply don’t know what the real Cultivation Treasure looks like. It’s just a guess. If the real Cultivation Treasure were so easily recognizable, could it have been preserved until today?" Bai Yi retorted disdainfully.
Upon hearing Bai Yi’s words, the man in black was momentarily stunned, as Bai Yi’s reasoning seemed quite sound. No one truly knew what the Demon Clan’s real Cultivation Treasure looked like; many just speculated it should be something grand and sophisticated. However, as Bai Yi pointed out, if the real Cultivation Treasure of the Demon Clan matched everyone’s imagination, it probably would have been obtained years ago; how could it possibly have been lost and then gained by the Rabbit Clan? Honestly, the Rabbit Clan is not a strong race within the Demon Clan!
"Does the piece you’re holding truly contain the real Cultivation Treasure?" the man in black couldn’t help but ask in a somber voice.
"No," Bai Yi shook his head.
"If it’s not the real Cultivation Treasure, you’re daring to pull tricks on me. I’ll have her killed!" the man in black immediately roared furiously.
"I’m telling the truth. There’s no retreat for us now; I have no reason to deceive you. This isn’t the real Cultivation Treasure, just a record of a Divine Art from the Demon Clan’s Cultivation Treasure!" Bai Yi responded.
"Just a Martial Arts Divine Skill from the Cultivation Treasure?" the man in black asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Right. Actually, what our Rabbit Clan obtained wasn’t the true Cultivation Treasure. A Rabbit Clan elder accidentally found this old parchment, discovering that the Martial Arts Divine Skill recorded on it was part of the Demon Clan’s supreme Cultivation Treasure. Yet external rumors claimed our Rabbit Clan had obtained the real Cultivation Treasure, causing your Fox Clan and Wolf Clan to conspire and massacre our entire Rabbit Clan!" Bai Yi became slightly emotional as he spoke, clenching his fists tightly.
The man in black was taken aback and hadn’t expected that the Rabbit Clan only acquired part of the Cultivation Treasure—a recorded Divine Art instead of the full Treasure. Although he doubted Bai Yi’s words somewhat, Bai Yi didn’t seem deceitful. The only way to verify was to take a look at the worn parchment in Bai Yi’s hand!
"Real or not, throw over the parchment. I keep my word!" the man in black said, glancing at Bai Yi.
Bai Yi glanced at the man in black and then at Qingxue. At this point, he truly had no other choice but to throw the worn parchment to the man in black.
Swoosh!
The man in black deftly caught the parchment tossed by Bai Yi. Upon seeing the record on the worn parchment, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he exclaimed, "Indeed, it’s the Divine Art recorded in the Demon Clan’s supreme Cultivation Treasure. Perfect, absolutely perfect! All my efforts were not in vain. Even if I haven’t obtained the real Cultivation Treasure, just this Martial Arts Divine Skill can greatly enhance my power, hahaha!"
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Bai Yi didn’t just sit and wait for fate, but as the man in black radiated excitement, Bai Yi turned to flee with Qingxue. However, when Bai Yi dashed forward, a massive Fire Wall slammed toward him, its power immense and unavoidable, forcing Bai Yi to retreat with Qingxue. He couldn’t help but turn and look at the approaching man in black.
The man in black sported a sinister grin at the corner of his mouth, holding the worn parchment in his left hand, and a powerful rune swirling in his right palm. He sneered, "Ants remain ants; waste is always waste. Even with some power now, you still can’t escape my control. How pathetic! The Rabbit Clan is thus extinct!" (To be continued.
