Chapter 54: Minghe Took Action
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
Upon hearing the voice, Kunpeng became defensive and started the Demon Palace that was hanging over his head. And Demon characters carved on it descended down like curtains. Kunpeng was safeguarded as if in iron walls.
No wonder Kunpeng was so cautious. Even though both Kunpeng and Hongyun were Sages-to-be at Secondary Stage who had achieved one separation, they didn’t find someone hidden nearby watching them fighting. The hider must have had a higher cultivation or some Magic Weapon which could hide his vital force so that he could manage to hide around but not be found.
Cold sweat appeared on Kunpeng’s forehead. If that man didn’t show up, he probably would still not be aware of his existence. He would probably have died, or at least be badly wounded if the man had made a sudden attack.
Someone said, "Stop!" Then Hong Meng Immortal Qi was trapped in the air and could hardly move, as if getting stuck in the moor. Meanwhile, a figure showed up and easily held it with his hand, the other hand taking the Nine Nine Spirit-killing Gourd, Hongyun’s outstanding Magic Weapon.
Kunpeng thought for a while and recognized the figure at once and shouted, "Minghe! It’s you!" Of course, the figure was Minghe. How could he have missed the chance to receive Hong Meng Immortal Qi?
In order to spy on Hongyun, Minghe had arranged 49 Blood God Doppelgangers to spread out around the Wuzhuang Taoist Temple. On Hongyun’s Good Separation showing up, some Blood God Doppelgangers sought to follow him, yet all died. The rest found out that Hongyun’s real body had escaped from the encirclement. Until then, Minghe knew it was Hongyun’s trick for getting out.
However, Minghe admired Hongyun’s decisive tactic of sacrificing his Good Separation to survive. It took great courage to sever one’s own wrist like brave warriors. If Hongyun had not been carrying Hong Meng Immortal Qi that Minghe wanted, he would have liked to make this "Nice Guy" his friend.
Though strength came first in the Untainted Land, it was better to have some friends in need. Actually, man’s heart was incomprehensible, let alone they were in such a dangerous world. It could be hard to find people like Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi, whose friendship was more than brothers. Compared to them, Three Pure Ones should be ashamed.
After finding Hongyun’s real body, Minghe left the Blood Sea. To his surprise, Kunpeng also followed Hongyun and launched a surprise attack against him. Minghe, of course, had chosen to watch them fight. Though neither of them was his rivals, he was willing to wait if he could get Hong Meng Immortal Qi with no efforts.
Sure enough, when cornered by Kunpeng, Hongyun should have had the idea of perishing together with him. Again, Minghe saw dazzling fireworks. Last time when he saw it, his Blood God Doppelgangers were in formation and over twenty were killed. It would take lots of efforts for him to recover them.
After Hongyun self exploded, only the Hong Meng Immortal Qi and Nine Nine Spirit-killing Gourd were left. The latter was caught by Kunpeng with supernatural power, and the former had nearly disappeared before Minghe caught it by force through the universe of Honghuang, using Power of Infinity and the Law of Heaven and Earth.
Looking at Hong Meng Immortal Qi in his hand, Minghe shook his head and thought about how many died had for it and Cultivation Tribulation also descended in advance due to it. Such a bane! Though it represented a seat of Sage, Minghe had no desire for it when holding it.
The shortcut was not his way. He had already found his way, so Hong Meng Immortal Qi was useless to him. Minghe was simply a little curious about it, because he sensed the vital force of the Way of Heaven on it. He shook his left hand, and Hong Meng Immortal Qi was soon submerged into the Earthly Flower, given to his Evil Separation Red Lotus Taoist for enlightenment.
As for Nine Nine Spirit-killing Gourd in his right hand, Minghe glanced at it and took it away. An imperceptible smile on his face, then he looked at Kunpeng who was on alert and said, "Fellow Taoist Kunpeng, what are you doing here? Do you think you can take away Hong Meng Immortal Qi from my hand?"
Kunpeng said bitterly, "Minghe, don’t be complacent. The Hong Meng Immortal Qi should have been mine. Why do you get in my way? Don’t you think I am weak enough to bully? Give out my thing now, or ... "
Minghe interrupted his speech and said, "So what? Do you want to remind me of killing you?" He had a smile on his face, but this made Kunpeng feel a chill at his back, especially at the word "kill".
Kunpeng felt hatred. Though Minghe was quite low-key, he attained a bad name just for being the owner of the Blood Sea, which was a Forbidden Land early in the Longhan Cultivation Tribulation. Even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals that went there had never returned. Certainly, the owner of Blood Sea was not easy going.
Minghe stayed in Blood Sea most of the time and no one had seen his attacking techniques before. Yet, Kunpeng could draw a definite conclusion that he was at least at Late Stage of Sage-to-be with two separations, just by a few trails and clues.
Firstly, Minghe arrived at Treasure Gifting Rock for the first time during the third teachings in Zixiao Palace. Although speed could not completely reflect one’s cultivation, such a quick speed could prove Minghe’s cultivation was relatively high. Secondly, Kunpeng faintly remembered two figures entering Minghe’s body, which would definitely be his two separations.
Thirdly, Minghe had hidden nearby but was not discovered. Obviously, his cultivation was higher. Fourthly, Kunpeng tried hard to ward off the Hong Meng Immortal Qi, but it was in vain. However, Minghe could easily catch it. And he sensed a strong wave of the power of the Law of Heaven and Earth, which meant Minghe was quite good at it.
Faced with a Late Stage Sage-to-be with two separations who mastered The Divine Law, badly wounded Kunpeng was inevitably afraid. Yet, Hong Meng Immortal Qi was so attractive, so he faced a dilemma.
Minghe made a choice for Kunpeng and said, "Kunpeng, you want Hong Meng Immortal Qi? If you can take my three attacks, I will give it to you. OK?" He was confident about his strength and was sure that Kunpeng couldn’t bear his three forms of attacking.
Hearing that, Kunpeng said between his teeth, "A promise?" It could be his only chance. He would win Hong Meng Immortal Qi if he could bear three attacking techniques. Of course, on the premise of Minghe’s keeping his words. Otherwise, this was all empty talk.
Minghe said in a calm voice, "Of course, I always keep my words. Watch; first attack." Then, he held tightly his right fist and a strong power gathered in it, gradually being integrated with killing intent. And the two compounded into a mighty force.
To those at a high Realm like Minghe, martial forms were not important. What’s more, Minghe was above using Primordial Spiritual Treasure but the fist; the best weapon. His flesh body had reached Peak Level of Sage-to-be, let alone the fact that he implemented the Law of Killing.
"Kill!" Shouted Minghe. A powerful punch was thrown towards Kunpeng instantly, who was shocked and hurried to start his defense with every effort, Demon Palace, but that apparently was in vain.
The Demon Palace defended against Minghe’s fist, however, some force still traveled through it and hit Kunpeng, making him spill several mouthfuls of blood. His face turned deadly pale.
Hearing the cracking sound, Kunpeng looked up and unexpectedly found that his Demon Palace had several cracks. What a strong fist! Kunpeng had felt terrified. He had already been badly hurt, adding to old wounds. Even the Demon Palace had cracks, so how could he bear the next two fists?
Minghe laughed and said, "Not bad. Take my second fist... " before he could finish his words, he was speechless at Kunpeng’s reaction. Out of expectations, he ran away and disappeared in the blink of an eye. So fast!
