Chapter 364: Killing Intent
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was completely silent. The surroundings were cold, and the bright moonlight poured down like water. The entire forest was covered in a faint haze.
That exceptionally beautiful figure seemed to have walked out from a painting. She was flawless and released sparkling precious splendor. She stood under the moonlight, confronting Shi Hao.
A great battle could break out at any time!
“If you want to kill me, then just do it.” Shi Hao said indifferently.
“In the end, you are still a disciple of the Heaven Mending Sect. You can be stubborn, but I cannot be heartless. I’ll let you live. I hope that when we meet again in the future, we can still have a drink together.” Fairy Yue Chan said softly. Her spotlessly white jade-like face carried a trace of regret.
Shi Hao laughed, not appreciating her kindness. “If you don’t kill me now, you’ll regret it in the future.”
“I hope it doesn’t reach that step. You should take care of yourself. Now leave.” Fairy Yue Chan calmly said. Her curvaceous body released holy radiance under the moonlight.
Shi Hao laughed loudly. He gave her a long look and said, “I’ll say the same things to you. You better take care of yourself. I hope that there won’t be a decisive battle in the future, or else I’ll carry you away as spoils of war.”
“You…” Fairy Yue Chan’s expression finally changed. After being treated with such disrespect several times, her expression became cold. A wave of killing intent rushed out as if an immortal sword had shattered the void.
Shi Hao didn’t pay her any attention. He turned around and left without any fear, leaving his back open just like that. He didn’t put up any defenses and left with large steps.
A moment later, he left this mountain region, his figure gradually disappearing into the limits of the horizon. Only now did a streak of divine light appear. Within a radius of several hundred meters, the plants and mountain rocks were all turned into fine powder.
“Yue Chan, why did you let him go? This youth is definitely not simple. While he hasn’t achieved much, this is the best time to kill him. Otherwise, there will be a certain amount of trouble in the future.” An old woman silently appeared.
“Ignore him.” Fairy Yue Chan said expressionlessly.
“No, I know that your natural talents are unmatched. Even if he is the outstanding talent of the younger generation, he will still not be your opponent in the future. However, he might cause harm to the Heaven Mending Sect, and others might not be able to stop him. If he’s allowed to mature, not many people will be able to contend against him.”
The old woman said and was about to chase after Shi Hao. A shocking fluctuation erupted from her body as if an ocean was rising and falling. In that instant, the entire mountain forest became quiet. All of the beasts and night birds went into hiding, not daring to make a sound.
“I am going to kill him to avoid him becoming a disaster. Moreover, since Shi Yi has already joined the Heaven Mending Sect, killing his great enemy is also reasonable.” The aura she released was too terrifying!
“Don’t chase after him. He’s extremely dangerous.” Fairy Yue Chan suddenly said, stopping this old woman.
“He’s just a youth in the late stage of Engravement. If I point out a finger, he’ll explode, so how can there be any danger?” The old woman naturally wouldn’t believe this.
“He killed two supreme experts in Stone Country Capital. Regardless of what power he borrowed, before we figure things out, do not take action on your own,” Fairy Yue Chan said calmly.
“Regardless of what it is, the price for killing two supreme experts in a row is also tremendous. I don’t think he can use it again.” The old woman was bewildered, and it was obvious that she was shaken.
“I won’t take risks,” Fairy Yue Chan said softly.
“I understand. As long as you are given time, all enemies will eventually fall apart. No one can stop your divine path.” The old woman’s eyes released blazing light.
A light breeze blew past. That terrifying aura disappeared, retreating like a tide.
At the limits of the horizon, Shi Hao broke out into a cold shiver. His heart was pounding. He turned around feeling as if an ancient giant beast had awakened in the depths of the mountain range, and then it went back to sleep.
He didn’t panic and remained extremely calm. A cold smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and then he left with large steps.
Shi Hao returned to the Fire Domain. Early in the morning, he found the large-eyed young lady and told her to inform Huo Ling’er that he needed to use the Fire Nation’s transport formation to leave.
The one-month period was about to end. He had to prepare for a great battle, so he didn’t feel at ease leaving his flesh in the outside world. Only by entering the Void God Realm from Stone Village would he have no worries. Then, he would go all out, go all out!
At this moment, the Fire Clan was naturally excited. Huo Ling’er had successfully undergone a rebirth and obtained the Fire Emperor’s aptitude. She would definitely soar into the heavens in the shortest amount of time possible, and no one could stop her.
The entire clan was immersed in a joyous atmosphere. Many of the senior elders were incomparably moved. They understood that Huo Ling’er’s rebirth was extremely thorough, much greater than before.
This meant that a top-level figure might appear in the Fire Clan!
“It’s not a Vermillion Bird, but it might be even better than a Vermillion Bird!”
“Right. That type of true blood flows through our veins. The Vermillion Bird is also our ancient ancestor.”
…
The Fire Clan’s higher-level figures were excited and were discussing spiritedly.
Perhaps only those Emperor Clan disciples and Huo Ling’er’s siblings were the most dejected. This time, they were defeated. They had lost their final chance to compete.
If nothing unexpected happened, an empress would rise up.
When Shi Hao found Huo Ling’er, he stated his request, and she agreed right away. A strand of the Fire Emperor’s spiritual body even revealed itself to meet him.
“I can send you to Stone Country’s western border.”
“Alright, then I’ll make some preparations.”
While they were conversing, in Fire Clan’s ancestral land, the old woman at fairy Yue Chan’s side looked into the distance and said, “I still can’t accept this. I just feel like he is a disaster.”
“You cannot take action,” Fairy Yue Chan calmly said.
“Young miss, what do you mean?” The old woman was surprised.
Fairy Yue Chan didn’t say anything. She was dressed in white, and as she walked within the fiery light, she was like a fresh snow lotus. She was elegant, otherworldly, intelligent, and aloof.
“I understand.” The old woman nodded and said, “We won’t do anything. We’ll confirm his coordinates and have the others take action.”
She followed Yue Chan. When she saw that fairy Yue Chan was still calm without any fluctuations, she didn’t say anything. She then said, “I heard that person also came to this region.”
“He’s here. Isn’t the realm wall becoming harder and harder to break through?” Fairy Yue Chan calmly asked.
“He should only be here to take a look. He’ll leave soon. I’ll be leaving soon as well. This region is going to become chaotic. For me, it is too dangerous,” the old woman said.
At the same time, she frowned and said, “Miss, you have to be careful of that person! Since he came, he might have crossed regions just for you. It’s too dangerous.”
Fairy Yue Chan rarely frowned as if she also felt that this was troublesome. “I know. Isn’t it just the revival of a deity? You don’t have to worry. Even if I can’t kill him, I won’t lose either.”
The old woman said, “Can we get him to take action and kill that Shi Hao? Meanwhile, if he fails miserably, that might not necessarily be a bad thing.”
Fairy Yue Chan gave her a look but didn’t say anything. She continued to walk forward.
“I know that he might not take action. After all, his status is too extraordinary. However, his subordinates might come. Apart from this, we can also reveal the information to others, for example, those unruly pure-blooded creatures, or those who are always chasing after you…”
…
In the Fire Clan’s core area, an enormous altar shone. Symbol bones covered its surface, and then multicolored light flickered, blasting open a passage. Shi Hao turned around and gave it a look. He waved toward Huo Ling’er and walked in with large steps.
“You have to be careful!” Huo Ling’er looked worried. She knew that he was going to prepare for a great decisive battle, but she couldn’t help much.
In the distance, the void was calm without any great waves.
A strand of the Fire Emperor’s spiritual body arrived. However, his eyes flickered with radiance as he stared in a certain direction. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, there was a boom, and a large expanse of blood was left behind.
In the depths of the Fire Domain, an old woman revealed her true form. Her skin was splitting apart, and her entire body was covered in blood. With a trembling voice, she said, “Incredible! The Fire Emperor has exceeded our imaginations. He’s even more terrifying than we expected!”
At her feet was a piece of void beast skin. If Shi Hao was here, he would definitely remember that this was the precious skin that was auctioned for an astronomical price in Stone Country Capital Auction House. It actually ended up in the old woman’s hands.
“I used a secret treasure to capture the fluctuations of those symbols. Unfortunately, it was interrupted by the Fire Emperor, so I could only roughly guess the coordinates. It should be at Stone Country’s western border,” said the old woman.
Fairy Yue Chan was still extremely cold, not saying anything.
“Coincidentally, that person is also in that region, so they might be able to meet. In addition, a few powerful little fellows are also with their people over there. Rumor has it that they found out some secret from Little Western Paradise. I vaguely heard that there is a supreme divine treasury there, but I don’t know if it’s true.” The old woman’s eyes flickered, becoming a bit cold as she said, “Since Shi Yi has already entered our sect, he definitely cannot be defeated. When the two enter the Void God Realm to fight, if they can find Shi Hao’s body, then that would be for the best. We can change everything at any time.”
“Don’t go too far.” Fairy Yue Chan looked at her.
“Miss, don’t worry!” The old woman smiled.
Shi Hao naturally wouldn’t tell anyone the coordinates of Stone Village. He only used the Fire Nation’s transport formation to send himself to Stone Country’s western border. He was still three hundred thousand miles from the village.
Even though he didn’t have a lot of time, he wasn’t in a rush either, because when he entered the Holy Emperor’s Palace in the Fire Domain, the amount of time it took was completely different from the outside world. A few months inside was only a day or two in the outside world.
Despite this being the case, he still captured a descendant alive to use as a means of transportation. He quickly made his way over, having the vicious birds send him back.
“What a large swan. It’s quite powerful and just enough for us to eat.” In the boundless great wastelands, a group of people raised their heads. There were more than ten of them.
“There seems to be someone on the back of the swan.”
“Then it’s his unlucky day.” One of them laughed coldly. He drew his great bow, releasing resplendent symbols. The arrow was shot out with extreme speed.
Immediately, wind and thunder erupted, and violent winds roared angrily, scattering the clouds and mist in the sky. A green arrow rushed into the heavens and pierced through the swan that was several dozen meters in length. Blood splashed several dozen feet into the air.
Shi Hao was immediately shocked, and then he became furious. This arrow almost pierced through him. If not for his flesh being incomparable, he would have definitely been killed.
Even so, he still suffered a shock. He swayed and was tainted by some of the swan’s blood.
This was an undeserved disaster. It was too sudden, making the absent-minded Shi Hao furious. He never expected someone to dare act like this. It was so savage.
This swan was a powerful descendant. It was in the Engravement Realm, yet its life force was destroyed by an arrow. Its chest exploded, and it died on the spot. It fell into the great wastelands.
Boom!
The swan smashed into a mountain ridge, breaking ancient trees and sending rubble flying. It crushed an area of thistles and thorns, scattering down large amounts of blood.
Shi Hao naturally floated in the air ahead of time and then descended here.
More than ten people walked over, led by a youth. His blood energy overflowed into the heavens, roiling and surging like an ocean. Those who could kill an Engravement Realm swan with a single arrow were definitely terrifying.
“You, remove this swan’s skin, wash it clean, and then roast it for us.” That youngster with the large bow pointed at Shi Hao, ordering him around.
“You’re dead!” Shi Hao only had these three words.
