Chapter 414: Who Else Will Die If Not You

Translator: E . 3 . 3 . Editor: Vermillion

The golden beams dispersed, revealing a glistening mantis shrimp that looked like it was painted in gold .

This mantis shrimp floated in the air, with the two sickle-like claws at the top of its head still flicking . It rolled around its stalk eyes and stared at the faraway Liang Kai .

The emergence of this mantis shrimp exceeded everyone’s expectations . Nobody anticipated a mantis shrimp belittled by others would jump out at a critical moment to give Liang Kai such a fatal blow .

Ouyang Xiaoyi, with Bu Fang in her arms, turned around to stare agape at the Shrimpy still suspending in the air .

Xiao Xiaolong slowed down his bolting steps, but still arrived beside Ouyang Xiaoyi .

With a swoosh, Duan Yun also appeared .

He pulled Ouyang Xiaoyi and Xiao Xiaolong away from the scene .

Though Liang Kai was heavily wounded, he was still a warrior of the Divine Physique Echelon . At this point, that mantis shrimp probably couldn’t escape Liang Kai’s slaughter . It was better to get away, as far as possible .

Liang Kai’s body trembled as he coughed blood .

His eyes were filled with astonishment . As he struggled to lower his head, he noticed another giant gash on his body spurting out blood . The thick and pungent scent of blood spread everywhere .

How… How could he be freaking outplayed by this mantis shrimp a second time?!

Liang Kai gazed at the mantis shrimp, feeling so enraged that he wanted to puke blood . His entire body shook ferociously, his face as pale as a ghost .

“Damn it… I’m going to catch you and have you braised!”

A savage look flashed across Liang Kai’s eyes as he took a step forward .

Shrimpy floated mid-air, still waving its sickle-like claws . Seeing Liang Kai take a step forward, it transformed into a golden bolt of lightning . With a swish, its body swooped down .

Splatter!!

Liang Kai wailed miserably as his body was pierced once more, leaving an additional bloody puncture .

The golden lights dispersed . Shrimpy suspended in the air, its body still brilliantly golden, not even tainted by a smear of blood .

Splatter Splatter!

After pausing momentarily, Shrimpy turned into a golden beam once more . It drilled through Liang Kai’s body continuously, leaving behind nasty, bloody gashes .

Liang Kai couldn’t stop coughing blood . His force of energy was quickly waning .

He wanted to withstand the strikes of this mantis shrimp, but his Scorching Sun Demonic Physique was too weak at the moment to be of any use .

Thump…

Oh how Liang Kai resented this!

Covered with bloody punctures, he felt like he was rapidly losing signs of life .

There were traces of grief and dejection in his eyes .

The Grand Barren Sect’s Grand Heir of Heaven, one with potentials to command entire regions, ended up butchered by a mantis shrimp in the training grounds .

This was unbelievably upsetting .

His head full of hair hung loose as Liang Kai fell to the floor . He took in sharp breaths but alas, could not stop his life from wearing away .

His body was covered with injuries . There was even a giant hole in his chest, leaving his heart badly damaged .

Nothing could save him . It was a lost cause .

Up on the warship, the disciples of the Grand Barren Sect were utterly flabbergasted . After living through the initial moments of shock, one tends to sink into a state of dread, and their eyes displayed that level of deep fear .

Dead, another dead .

The training ground was simply horrifying!

Two warriors of the Divine Physique Echelon have already fallen here .

Executive Feng and Liang Kai were both Divine Physique Echelon warriors of the Grand Barren Sect . They should be invincible in the training grounds, yet the reality was always so cruel .

Both were dead .

Buzz…

As Liang Kai’s corpse hit the floor, unseeable ripples of energy spread outward .

A beam of light shot out of Liang Kai’s corpse and flew towards the warship alongside a floating jade talisman wrapped around a phantom spirit .

This was a life-saving tactic the Grand Barren Sect issued every Heir of Heaven disciple . Even if their bodies of flesh were slaughtered by the enemy, their spiritual essences could still escape by the jade talisman .

This jade talisman was very precious, and could only be given to Heir of Heaven disciples .

The mantis shrimp couldn’t bother with the jade talisman . It hopped up and flew back to Bu Fang, who was still within Ouyang Xiaoyi’s arms .

Sprawled over Bu Fang’s shoulder, it fell into a deep sleep .

Buzz . . .

The jade talisman containing Liang Kai’s spiritual essence returned to the warship .

“Sail… back to the Grand Barren Sect! Quick!!”

Once back onto the warship, the silhouette of Liang Kai’s body emerged within the jade talisman . He bellowed loudly, ready to leave this damned place immediately .

The Grand Barren Sect disciples on the metal warship hurriedly set sail .

The heavy metal warship whirred loudly up in the sky and slowly turned around, heading out of the Imperial City .

Still on the warship, Xiao Meng pressed a hand against his chest and stood up slowly . He gazed around and, taking advantage of the chaos amidst the Grand Barren Sect disciples, charged forth and leaped off of the warship .

The Grand Barren Sect disciples were taken aback, but they couldn’t bother tending to Xiao Meng .

Bei Gongming stood up, rubbing away the streaks of blood at the corner of his mouth .

He peered at Liang Kai’s barely visible spiritual essence within the jade talisman, his eyes looking indifferent .

He walked towards the jade talisman one step at a time . The muscles on his face suddenly trembled as he broke into a howling laugh, his chortle getting louder and louder . He was laughing so loud that all the Grand Barren Sect disciples on the warship cast him perplexed looks .

“Bei Gongming! What are you doing! You loser! Get lost!”

Seeing Bei Gongming inching closer to himself, the Liang Kai enclosed within the jade talisman emitted a shrill shriek . The piercing shriek contained a trace of dread . He bawled angrily . As he screeched, the jade talisman began to shake violently .

Two Grand Barren Sect disciples blocked Bei Gongming, asking coldly: “What are you going to do?”

Bei Gongming’s eyes rolled and landed on the two disciples . He curled his lips in a savage way .

“What am I going to do? Of course, revenge… I’ve waited all these years… and finally got a chance for revenge . Anyone who hinders me shall die . “

Boom!!

Surges of true energy burst out of Bei Gongming body and landed on the two Grant Barren Sect disciples .

His body charged forth like a ghost and he thrust out two palms, striking the two disciples on their foreheads .

The two Grand Barren Sect disciples fell to the floor with bewildered faces . They were killed just like that .

Bei Gongming hooted with laughter, his entire body shook fiercely .

Nobody else dared to block Bei Gongming .

Liang Kai, within the jade talisman, also emitted a frightened screech .

“You can’t kill me! If you kill me… the sect will never let you get away!”

Seeing the quivering jade talisman, Bei Gongming exhaled a long breath . This jade talisman belonged to him anyway . He should’ve have become the Grand Heir of Heaven . But all of this was snatched away by Liang Kai .

“This no longer matters . As of today, everything will be returned back to me, Bei Gongming . “

Bei Gongming curled his lips .

He lifted up his hand and grabbed the jade talisman .

The Liang Kai within the jade talisman struggled ferociously, bellowing, howling furiously . He even humbly begged for mercy, but Bei Gongming remained completely unmoved . Once the jade talisman was crushed, Liang Kai would truly be dead .

Liang Kai didn’t want to die yet .

“Who else should die… if not you . . . ” Bei Gongming snickered softly . He pressed harshly with his hands as true energy fluctuated . With a loud explosion, the jade talisman was utterly destroyed by the true energy, smashed into smithereens .

Liang Kai’s complexion contorted amidst the true energy and shattered .

His face was filled with a scathing resentment as he glowered at Bei Gongming, screaming nonstop .

Without the jade talisman, his spiritual essence would scatter very soon .

The Grand Barren Sect Heir of Heaven, Liang Kai . . . had fallen .

The rest of the Grand Barren Sect disciples on the warship didn’t dare to emit a noise . They didn’t think Bei Gongming really dared to kill Liang Kai . This was an Heir of Heaven, a disciple intensively trained by the sect, dead just like that .

Suddenly, these disciples shuddered . They detected the gaze that Bei Gongming shot their way . It was cold and bloodthirsty . Bei Gongming planned on killing them?!

“You can only blame it on… seeing something you shouldn’t have seen . ” The forces of energy on Bei Gongming condensed . His figure stormed out with the gushes of true energy .

Splatter!

How could the rest of the Grand Barren Sect disciples survive against Bei Gongming . They were all slaughtered . Blood splattered everywhere, staining the warship, filling it with a dreadful lifelessness and a pungent stench of blood .

Bei Gongming’s entire body was covered in blood . He walked to the deck slowly, grabbing onto the rail . Up from the warship, the Light Wind Imperial City below turned smaller and smaller . He gazed down intently until the entire Imperial City faded from his eyes .

. . .

Within the Light Wind Imperial City .

Everyone sighed in relief seeing the metal warship steer away . That warship was like a murderous weapon hovering above their heads . Once it vanished, everyone felt pacified .

This battle . . . was a wretched sight .

Ji Chengxue walked down from the city walls with a pensive expression and began to handle the follow-up work . He had actually become very experienced with cleaning up the mess after a battle .

Within the store, Bu Fang rested on a chair, taking in deep breaths . He slowly opened his eyes, feeling like his eyelids were made of lead . Whitey was also carried in by the crowd, with the only difference being that everyone fell silent .

Nobody had ever seen Whitey in such a wretched state .

Whitey’s body was badly punctured, on which electric sparks flickered . The once almighty Whitey was now motionless and badly torn .

Bu Fang’s hair hung loose .

“Today’s business hours are over… everyone, please leave now . “

Bu Fang said quietly, ordering for his guests to leave .

Ouyang Xiaoyi and the others still wanted to say something, but seeing Bu Fang’s current state and hearing his order to leave, they sighed and cleared out .

The doors were pulled shut .

Bu Fang’s entire person leaned against the shutters, feeling completely drained of energy . He didn’t want to move at all . This was the hardest battle he had to fight so far . He used all the tricks up his sleeves and still failed to completely slay the enemy .

If it weren’t for Shrimpy drilling holes through Liang Kai’s body, he couldn’t imagine how things would end .

Bu Fang felt helpless . This was all because he had too weak a cultivation level . Even after activating the Gourmet Array, his personal abilities was still only at eighth grade War-God . To defy a warrior of the Divine Physique Echelon was already a miracle . In this battle, Shrimpy was key .

However, Bu Fang also knew that the main problem was still his weak cultivation level . He suddenly realized that to live as a chef peacefully… he needed to have an impressive enough cultivation level . Or else, he could never be left alone .

He scratched his disheveled hair .

Bu Fang leaned on the shutters and asked the system silently:

“System… is there any way to accelerate my cultivation level?”

After a moment of silence, the system finally spoke up .

“The host’s cultivation level rests on the store’s business income . A rise in business income is required to increase the cultivation level . Or else… the host could open an additional branch . But once the tasks of the extra branch are activated, the host may not return to the main store until completion of such assignments . ”
