BXBX NOVEL Chapter 315 - Thats Impossible
Chapter 315: That’s Impossible
After leaving the Thunder Knife Sect, Zhou Donghuang brought the black puppy to the Lightning Sword Sect.
Once he had arrived at the Lightning Sword Sect, even though he was prepared for this, Zhou Donghuang was still shocked... Previously, the Lightning Sword Sect was bustling with activity, but now, this piece of land was flattened and was completely changed into a dump.
Furthermore, the Spirit energy here had become extremely thin, and one could vaguely guess that the spirit stone mines of the Lightning Sword Sect had all been mostly ransacked.
Clearly, when the Qi Dynasty’s people had arrived to ransack and destroy the Lightning Sword Sect, they had also taken the chance to clear the mines of the Lightning Sword Sect, robbing them of Spirit energy.
Among the debris, there were dried-up bloodstains everywhere, and there were mountains of corpses to the point where one was unable to count the exact number of dead people.
“The Qi Dynasty...”
Even though Zhou Donghuang had lived a past life of thousands of years and had seen many deaths, when he saw the condition of the Lightning Sword Sect, he could not help but feel rage rise up within him.
This was because the Lightning Sword Sect being attacked was due to his appearance.
According to his memories of the developments in his past life, at this point, the Lightning Sword Sect had not yet met with such a disastrous event. However, now that this event had been carried forward, it had to be linked to him.
“What a disaster... Who is the Qi Dynasty? They were extremely cruel here, crueler than beasts even...”
On Zhou Donghuang’s shoulder, the black puppy witnessed this scene and could not help but comment. As he spoke up, he shook his head like a human would.
Whoosh!
With a shake of his body, Zhou Donghuang flew up across the land that used to be the Lightning Sword Sect. Among the corpses that he saw, there were several familiar faces including elders of the Autumn Valley, Autumn valley disciples, and even the three other Valley Heads.
The Lightning Sword Sect Leader, Yu Yucheng, had also been a victim of the Qi Dynasty’s attack. However, he was propped up on an arm, and his huge, lifeless eyes showed signs of a struggle, showing his refusal to surrender.
What allowed Zhou Donghuang to breathe a sigh of relief was that after observing the corpses meticulously, he could conclude that out of the casualties of the Lightning Sword Sect, those three most familiar faces were not part of them.
His third senior sister, He Mengxi, as well as the Autumn Valley Head He Jin and Da Zhuang were all not among the sea of corpses.
Clearly, all three of them were all possibly alive.
“Rest in peace... If this really was my fault, I will take revenge for you to make up for this wrongdoing.”
After Zhou Donghuang had a moment of silence, he unleashed the essential core within him and instantly swept up the entire area of the Lightning Sword Sect. Dust flew up to the skies and covered the entire land, burying the corpses well.
Boom!
Crash!
...
It was true that Zhou Donghuang had already trained his White Tiger Primordial Soul Power to the ultimate Primordial Soul stage. Furthermore, this White Tiger Primordial Soul Power was extremely powerful, much more than any normal ultimate Primordial Soul adept. However, to activate his Primordial Soul Power to sweep up sand to bury the entire Lightning Sword Sect was still a rather tiring thing to do.
“Hm?”
After he had fully buried the entire Lightning Sword Sect, Zhou Donghuang seemed to sense something, and his eyes darted around.
In the next moment, two figures appeared from afar and appeared almost instantly before his eyes. One stood to his left and one stood to his right, surrounding him in the middle. They glared at him beadily. “Are you a survivor of the Lightning Sword Sect?”
“Actually, it does not matter if you are a survivor of the Lightning Sword Sect or not... Either way, you should die. We are from the Qi Dynasty, and we chose to destroy this sect, why should he be allowed to give them a proper burial?”
The two people surrounding Zhou Donghuang were a middle-aged man and an old man, and both were staring coldly at Zhou Donghuang. The old man, who had last spoken, even had a murderous look in his eyes.
“People of the Qi Dynasty?” Zhou Donghuang asked impassively.
Within the next instant, even before the middle-aged man or the old man could speak, Zhou Donghuang narrowed his eyes, and the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power appeared once again, towering above them all. The White Tiger Primordial Soul Power let out a frightening roar, and this sound reverberated in the skies!
“An ultimate Primordial Soul adept?”
Just as the middle-aged man and old man exchanged doubtful glances, the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power had already caught sight of them. It first headed for the old man, and its solid, thick essential core was used to reach out a claw to squash him!
“Do you think you are the only ultimate Primordial Soul adept here?”
The old man laughed coldly, and his human-based Primordial Soul Power appeared accordingly. With an outstretched fist, it attempted to fend off the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power’s huge and mountain-like claw.
In the next second, the two Primordial Soul Powers clashed.
Crash!
With a loud ringing sound, the old man’s Primordial Soul Power crumbled first. The old man himself was badly injured and cried out in pain. He spat out a huge mouthful of blood, and his face was as white as a sheet.
“How is this possible!?”
Just as the old man looked up with fear at the White Tiger Primordial Soul Power, the white tiger’s next attack had already hit him.
Boom!
The old man’s body instantly exploded, and blood rained down to the ground. This was an incredibly shocking yet exhilarating scene to watch!
Only his space ring was left behind. It floated down and was quickly picked up by the black puppy who had fast reflexes.
Seeing this, the old man’s partner quickly regained his composure after the old man was killed. He unleashed some of his essential core, shook his body and attempted to run for the hills.
He was now extremely frightened, and he was no longer interested in taking action. All he could think of was to escape.
What a joke.
The old man that had accompanied him from the Qi Dynasty was stronger than he was. However, the old man had died almost instantly at the hands of that white-robed young man. If it were him being attacked first, he would definitely suffer the same fate.
“Trying to escape?” Zhou Donghuang’s mouth turned up into a mocking smile.
In an instant, his White Tiger Primordial Soul Power already managed to catch up with the middle-aged man and blocked his path of escape.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man who was running away could sense that it was nearly impossible for him to escape the clutches of this young man, and his facial expression changed again.
Afterwards, his body began to tremble, and he spoke up in an apologetic and humble tone.
“Sir, I did not mean to take action against you, that was that old fellow’s idea... I’m willing to gift you with all my fortune in exchange for my life!”
As the middle-aged man spoke, he began to take off his space ring and removed his claim over the items inside.
Whoosh!
The black puppy shot out and snatched the space ring. It then returned to Zhou Donghuang’s shoulder.
From start to end, the middle-aged man only watched this speechlessly but did not dare to take any action.
“You are from the Qi Dynasty?” Zhou Donghuang glanced at the middle-aged man and asked in an impassive tone.
“Sir.” The middle-aged man was quaking with fear. “I am merely a lowly servant of the Qi Dynasty unlike that of the royal family and those directly attending to them... Today onwards, I will leave the Qi Dynasty and I will no longer be one of their people!”
He did not know the true relationship between the white-clothed youth and the Lightning Sword Sect. However, to save his own life, he still decided to be more cautious and assume that the youth had a deep connection with the Lightning Sword Sect.
“Why are you here?” Zhou Donghuang asked again.
“I’m here because of the seventh prince... The Qi Dynasty’s seventh prince, Qi Feng, asked for me and the old fellow to lay in wait to look out for surviving disciples, if possible,” the middle-aged man replied immediately.
“He ordered us to kill any survivors that we came across and to bring these heads back to the Qi Dynasty for him to personally inspect.
“According to what I know... What he is looking for should be a disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect named Zhou Donghuang.”
The middle-aged man said all this quickly, and when he was done, he stared up at Zhou Donghuang with a face of fear.
“Zhou Donghuang?” Zhou Donghuang’s brows furrowed. “Why is he looking for Zhou Donghuang?”
“I heard that it is because Zhou Donghuang’s powers are too strong, and he was unwilling to join the Lightning Sword Sect. In order to not allow Zhou Donghuang to threaten the Qi Dynasty’s position within the Hengliu galaxy in the future, he wanted to trap Zhou Donghuang and kill him as a precautionary measure.”
The middle-aged man continued to respond quickly. “In the beginning, he sent out three servants of about the same level as me to kill Zhou Donghuang but those three were all killed.
“He then suspected that the Lightning Sword Sect was responsible for killing the three Divine Transformation adepts sent out by the Qi Dynasty... Rumor has it that the Lightning Sword Sect’s Autumn Valley Head, He Jin, took action alongside Zhou Donghuang. He suspected that He Jin had already crossed over to the Divine Transformation stage and became a Divine Transformation adept.
“He thus sent out Divine Transformation adepts to find out if this was true and found that his hypothesis was right. Not only was He Jin a Divine Transformation adept, but he was also an extremely strong one that surpassed others at the same level.
“At that point, the seventh prince was suspicious of He Jin’s changes, and he suspected that it was due to Zhou Donghuang’s help. If He Jin continued to grow, he would become a threat to the Qi Dynasty as well.
“The seventh prince then obtained permission from Emperor Qi to destroy the entire Lightning Sword Sect.
“Coincidentally, the son of the Lightning Sword Sect’s Spring Valley Head, Liu Lang, previously had an affair with an illicit daughter of the Qi Dynasty’s second prince, who was living outside our territory... With this as an excuse to bear a grudge against the Lightning Sword Sect, even before the sect could excel Liu Lang, the Qi Dynasty directly took action to execute the entire Lightning Sword Sect and announced that it was the sect’s fault for sheltering Liu Lang, which ignited the wrath of Emperor Qi.
“Under such circumstances, the Alliance, which the Lightning Sword Sect was part of, could not help them out.
“Before you appeared, sir, we had already killed many other survivors of the Lightning Sword Sect and kept their heads for the seventh prince.”
As the middle-aged man spoke to this point, the black puppy, who was standing on Zhou Donghuang’s shoulder, let out a yelp, and it threw out the human heads that were put inside the two space rings with a look of disgust as shown by its furrowed brows.
Zhou Donghuang casually unleashed a wave of essential core, burying the heads into the ground. Throughout the process, he was patient and had on a solemn expression.
“Of course, the seventh prince wanted to us to stay here mostly to wait for the appearance of Zhou Donghuang... However, out of those people that we’ve killed, none should be him as I’ve heard that Zhou Donghuang had always worn purely white clothes, and...”
As he spoke to this point, the middle-aged man could no longer continue his sentence, and he stared at Zhou Donghuang’s white clothes with a dazed expression.
Somehow, he felt like the person he had been talking to was Zhou Donghuang, the man the seventh prince was hunting, all along.
“This is impossible... That’s impossible... Zhou Donghuang... Even if he had managed to enter the Primordial Soul stage, he would be a normal Primordial Soul adept... How could he be at the ultimate Primordial Soul stage!? How could he be such a scary and intimidating ultimate Primordial Soul adept!”
The middle-aged man tried to comfort himself internally.
“Boss, it seems as though he has recognized you at last!” The black puppy chuckled gleefully.
Of course, the black puppy’s words were unintelligible to the middle-aged man as he was speaking in demon language. Only demons who had entered the Primal Core stage were able to speak human languages!
