Chapter 1713 – Resolving Karma
Shi Hao took action ruthlessly, directly hacking off Yuan Qing’s right arm, at the same time looking at him with disdain. This person didn’t have any backbone. He looked like someone with quite the powerful temperament, but in reality was only this much.
Back then, just how forceful was this person? The moment they met, he immediately reached out a hand to suppress Shi Hao, acting like a supreme being, looking down on Shi Hao.
Now that he was stuck facing Shi Hao, he actually lowered his stance, looking like he was going to compromise, without the slightest bit of an unyielding character. It really made others look at him with contempt.
This type of person even previously stirred up such great trouble, claiming to dominate an area? Perhaps he only dared act like this towards individuals with lower cultivation levels, bullying the weak as the strong.
Blood splashed out. Yuan Qing’s face warped, but he endured it, not acting out or berating Shi Hao. He endured it, looking at Shi Hao, speaking out again, saying that all things could be talked over.
“Even someone like you has the nerve to plea for your life. Back then, when I was sent to Origin Ancient Mine, why didn’t you think that there would be today?” Shi Hao looked at him indifferently.
Yuan Qing’s face turned slightly green. Soon afterwards, he calmed down again, forcefully controlling himself. He really didn’t think that there would be this scene today.
Back then, the other side was a small cultivator who could be crushed with a single arm. Who would have thought that he would be able to threaten him so quickly?
Huang, just how old was he? He was only twenty something years old, yet now, he was already a Self Release Realm cultivator, becoming a late bloomer who could make others feel restraining fear!
Yuan Qing found it hard to calm down, full of remorse. He didn’t feel remorse for incurring hatred between himself and Shi Hao, but rather felt incomparable regret. Back then, why didn’t he just kill the other party despite the consequences?
In the past, he received Wind Clan’s order to obstruct the sinner’s blood descendant. However, none of them thought that this Huang would rise up, grow up to this state in such a short amount of time.
He inwardly sighed, he could only blame the warning given by another expert, which led him not to deal the fatal blow. Otherwise, he might have already killed Shi Hao.
At this point, he still didn’t repent, only regretting that he didn’t kill Huang back then, the fact that he missed the chance due to a moment of hesitation.
“Still unconvinced? All I can see from the depths of your eyes are unwillingness and resentment. Are you regretting that you didn’t kill me back then?” Shi Hao said.
Yuan Qing was alarmed, even this was seen through by the other side? The other party’s divine senses were too sharp, right? This left him with a horrified feeling.
“I was just guessing, just trying to scare you a bit. Who would have thought that you really did have this type of ‘remorse’.” Shi Hao’s voice became cold.
“How could that be? Little friend, you overthought things. I didn’t have such intentions.” Yuan Qing explained.
Ka!
A crisp sound rang out. Yuan Qing’s left arm was sliced off, coming off his body. A rain of blood sprinkled outwards, the scene a bit horrifying.
He released a muffled groan, staggering backwards, his entire body shaking, almost planting straight into the ground. His complexion was snow-white, lacking all color.
Shi Hao had condensed a sword art, hacking off his other arm. This was a fatal injury that made Yuan Qing’s face distort, inwardly full of fear.
It wasn’t that Yuan Qing didn’t want to fight, but rather because he had previously deduced that he didn’t have the slightest chance. As long as he attacked, he would undoubtedly die!
“Dao friend, I was wrong. Could you give me a chance? I can help explain some things to you.” Yuan Qing said.
“You are nothing more than an errand dog, how deep could the information you have access to be? Do you understand supreme being level figures? Do you have their secrets? Or do you know about immortal dao secrets?” Shi Hao said coldly, unperturbed.
Yuan Qing’s expression was ugly. He really wanted to continue living, the more one was like his type, the more they feared death. He didn’t wish to follow Wind Clan’s people into the afterlife.
When faced with this type of contempt, all unyielding individuals would definitely retaliate. However, Yuan Qing instead lowered his head, giving in to Shi Hao.
He couldn’t help but submit to humiliation, because he wanted to preserve his life. Even though he knew that the chances weren’t great, he still didn’t wish to give up on it.
“Dao friend, you know that you are currently in great danger.” He spoke, drawing Shi Hao’s attention.
Shi Hao looked at him coldly, not saying a word, remaining extremely silent.
Yuan Qing suddenly felt like he was too wronged. In that instant, he really wanted to become hostile, just let out all of his suppressed resentment, thinking that even if he was killed, then that was that.
However, he still endured it. “These three thousand provinces don’t only have Immortal Palace’s ruined immortal, at the very least, there are one or two more. Once they target you, the consequences will be extremely terrible.”
“You know about them?” Shi Hao finally spoke up.
It was because he had long heard that the three thousand provinces had at least two or three ruined immortals. Apart from Immortal Palace’s existence, the others seemed extremely mysterious.
“If you vow to let me go, then I will tell you everything I know.” Yuan Qing said.
Shi Hao laughed, extremely cold, and also extremely cruel. He raised his hand again.
“If you force me, I won’t talk. Moreover, if you want to search my primordial spirit imprint, it will still be futile!” Yuan Qing shouted.
He backed up, fearing that Shi Hao would suddenly act out.
Pu!
Towards this, a streak of sword radiance shot out of Shi Hao’s finger, using this as his response. He didn’t accept this type of demand at all, extremely decisive, and also extremely cold, immediately blasting through his body.
Ah… Yuan Qing screamed miserably.
Shi Hao’s sword radiance was extremely terrifying, half of Yuan Qing’s body crushed to pieces. That sword energy’s destructive power was too shocking, absolutely incomparable.
“Just speak, I’ll let you off easily after.” Shi Hao said.
Wenglong!
Yuan Qing roared in anger, shaking up the void. He knew that the other party wouldn’t compromise. His entire body erupted, releasing its potential, even his primordial spirit shining, wishing to destroy indiscriminately, go all out against Shi Hao.
However, he underestimated Shi Hao’s strength. A divine halo appeared outside Shi Hao’s body, multicolored light endless, covering this place. Yuan Qing discovered that he couldn’t move, that he was restricted.
All of his methods failed!
“Even you dare boast shamelessly about knowing about ruined immortals? Not even long life families might necessarily know about them!” Shi Hao said coldly.
“I know that one of the ruined immortal’s weapon is an ancient battle-axe!” Yuan Qing said.
“And?” Shi Hao said. He had heard about this before, moreover also saw that ancient axe. It was damaged.
Back then, during the three thousand provinces’ competition, when he survived from Immortal Ancient Remains, many people encircling him from all sides, Willow Deity appeared, unleashing a great slaughter, slaughtering sect masters.
In the end, there was a magical decree that descended from the heavens, moreover a damaged ancient axe that appeared, carrying immortal light and chaotic energy. There were words carved in the void, asking Willow Deity to show mercy.
When he thought back to it now, that ancient axe’s master was definitely a ruined immortal.
Shi Hao sighed. When he thought of this, he couldn’t help but remember Willow Deity. Where was it? When could he meet with it again?
The path Willow Deity walked was extremely difficult. It was previously destroyed, cutting itself down, it really was quite the depressing thing. From an Immortal Ancient guardian spirit, it germinated once more into a willow tree, enduring far too many difficulties during this period.
These were all things Shi Hao gradually learned later on.
Willow Deity had experienced destruction, turning into a seed. It then became powerful once more, yet in the end, it cut itself down again. Due to an unknown reason, it was then struck down by the terrifying lightning of the heavens.
It could be said that the Willow Deity of this age was no longer the guardian spirit of Immortal Ancient.
It was because it had to start from the very beginning again, what it cut off wasn’t only its cultivation, but also its memories.
However, in the end, as long as it could reach the peak, exceed or be equal to before, it could definitely recall everything about the past.
From extremely powerful to extremely weak, then rising and falling again and again, and then returning in the end, this really was too dangerous!
Shi Hao believed that the current Willow Deity most likely completely revived, because last time, when he entered Immortal Domain with Sanzang and Shenming, and then came back, along the way, he encountered some of the imprints left by Willow Deity, this enough to explain everything.
That dam, the waves gave clues into many things! Even true immortals died on that dam, while this was its final destination. It had to be powerful enough in order to head there!
After a moment of absentmindedness, Shi Hao snapped back, saying, “You know nothing more than a weapon, what is the use in keeping you alive?!”
He raised his hand, about to suppress and kill him!
It was because these were things he could find out even without asking Yuan Qing. Immortal Qin knew more than him, so Shi Hao already knew about some secrets.
“Don’t! I can tell you a great secret!” Yuan Qing screamed.
Under Yuan Qing’s screams, Shi Hao released another streak of sword radiance, hacking him into two at the waist, ruthless. Shi Hao felt that only under extreme fear would Yuan Qing tell him the truth.
“Origin Ancient Mine, it is precisely that place that might have a path into another world!” He roared out, truly scared.
When Shi Hao heard this, he didn’t take action again.
A path into another world, where did it lead to?
He recalled the protectors’ descendant. Back then, he had ran to Origin Ancient Mine, wishing to find some secrets regarding his ancestors, in the end causing crazy black blood to surge, filling the ancient mine with blood.
Was it the same as Immortal Tomb? After many years passed, would an unmatched individual return from there?
“Elaborate!” Shi Hao shouted.
“I…” Yuan Qing, while in a state of extreme nervousness, was actually a bit tongue-tied.
“You also only know these things, right? What is the point in keeping you alive?!” Shi Hao said coldly, and then he didn’t hesitate anymore.
“Don’t!” Yuan Qing screamed.
Unfortunately, this time Shi Hao didn’t give him any chance. A sword descended, cutting through his primordial spirit, flesh crushed into a rain of light, body and soul destroyed.
Yuan Qing was killed. Shi Hao sighed, this karma was finally resolved.
