Chapter 300 - 299: Nine Celestial Venerables: The Heaven-Blasting Gang’s Venerable Is Not Human, but a Divine Thunder of Heavenly Punishment
What’s up with Venerables these days?
All they think about is self-destructing.
Can’t they cherish their lives a little?!
Who started this twisted trend?
’Oh, it was me... Never mind, then.’
Qin Yang felt perfectly justified. He waved dismissively at Liu Wushuang, who was outside the barrier. "Your mission is to wait out there. That’s an order. Stay outside the Array and bear witness..."
"Bear witness?"
Standing outside the Domain, Liu Wushuang was stunned. "Bear witness to what?" he asked, completely bewildered.
"To the glorious deeds of our great Heaven-Blasting Gang."
As Qin Yang spoke, his gaze lowered. Like the final act of mercy from a Buddha before his wrath, he looked down upon Meng Tianxuan and the Nine Celestial Venerables below.
"From this day forward, the Beast God Sect and the Venerable Alliance will cease to exist! Since we of the Heaven-Blasting Gang have come, we have no intention of leaving alive! We will ensure everyone stays here permanently!"
The words were spoken in a calm, even voice, yet they pierced the clouds like a pre-battle proclamation. Meng Tianxuan and the Nine Celestial Venerables shuddered upon hearing them.
"What...?!"
The moment the Nine Celestial Venerables heard this, his legs went weak.
’Waves of panic crashed through his mind!’
’After those repeated bombings, my Beast God Sect has definitely suffered the most casualties. We’ve lost so many Venerables! Celestial Thunder is the natural bane of Yin Spirits, and the Heaven-Blasting Gang is steamrolling our Divine Sect!’
’If this keeps up...’
’I’m not going to make it out of this alive!’
"It’s a misunderstanding, Young Master! A complete misunderstanding!"
The Nine Celestial Venerables took a large step forward, hastily changing his tune to sue for peace. "We of the Beast God Sect are willing to make amends! We will never offend you again!"
As he spoke,
he turned to glance at Meng Tianxuan beside him and spat angrily. "I’ve long found this man displeasing! He’s a sanctimonious little hypocrite!"
"All of the Beast God Sect’s previous actions were incited by this fraud!"
Meng Tianxuan: "???"
’Wait... Junior Brother...’
’You’re selling me out like this?’
’Fine, fine, fine. So this is how you turn traitor, is it?’
"You’re full of shit, Junior Brother! You were the one who proposed this and tempted me at every turn!"
Gritting his teeth, Meng Tianxuan dropped all pretense. He raised his head to Qin Yang in the sky and cupped his hands. "Young Master, my Venerable Alliance was in the wrong. We were bewitched by a malevolent entity! Today, I must enact justice on behalf of the heavens and join forces with your Heaven-Blasting Gang to eliminate this Cult’s Sect Leader!!"
"Meng Tianxuan, you’re courting death!"
"Silence, you Demon! Address me as Alliance Leader!"
"Pah!"
"..."
With a cold face, Qin Yang apathetically watched their brotherly harmony, their deep love for one another.
He struggled to suppress the corner of his mouth from turning up.
’It’s so hard to hold it in.’
’Don’t laugh.’
’Absolutely do not laugh!’
’If I laugh now, the imposing aura I just built up will vanish completely!’
But the problem was,
the "plastic" brotherhood between these two was just too amusing. When disaster strikes, each flies their own way, yet they were so willing to stab each other in the back for their "brother."
’Nope, I need to fan the flames between you two a little more.’
Qin Yang made a Hollow Fist, coughed twice, and announced to them in a clear voice, "Now that my Heaven-Blasting Gang has taken action, we cannot return disappointed. As the saying goes, ’Repay a drop of kindness with a gushing spring.’"
The Heaven-Blasting Gang has always been benevolent!"
"Since you’ve come today, none of you should even think of leaving! Feel free to pick your manner of death. The Heaven-Blasting Gang treats everyone equally!"
The moment the words left his mouth,
the wind died, and all sound ceased.
"..."
Meng Tianxuan and the Nine Celestial Venerables, who had been arguing to curry favor with Qin Yang and were about to come to blows, retracted their fluctuating Star Force. In that instant, they both fell silent.
"What... did he just say?"
Meng Tianxuan stared blankly at the Nine Celestial Venerables beside him. "Did I mishear him...?"
"Feel free to pick,"
the Nine Celestial Venerables murmured in despair, his eyes fixed on the sky where the figures of the Heaven-Blasting Gang’s Venerables came into view. "He said... we’re free to pick..."
At this moment,
above them, in the celestial vault, Jin Yun rose and fell amidst shadowy figures, and thunder shattered the sky’s gloom.
’Is this a matter of "picking"?’
The Nine Celestial Venerables looked up, and his vision was filled with the members of the Heaven-Blasting Gang. They had transformed into bolts of Celestial Thunder as thick as pythons!
’Those aren’t people...’
’They’re bolts of divine punishment! Divine Thunder!’
’No matter which one I pick, I can’t possibly withstand it!’
The Nine Celestial Venerables despaired.
"These lunatics..."
Meng Tianxuan murmured beside him, a dazed look on his face. He stared at Qin Yang in the sky, completely unable to comprehend his actions.
’Seriously... what the hell are you trying to achieve?’
’Is self-destructing fun?!’
’We’ve already surrendered, and you still insist on slaughtering us all?’
’Are the lives of his martial uncles and elders worthless in Qin Yang’s eyes?! He’s using them as disposable bombs!’
’What is the Heaven-Blasting Gang Leader thinking? How could he entrust the Heaven-Blasting Gang to Qin Yang?’
The more Meng Tianxuan thought about it, the more horrified he became, his heart pounding in terror.
’This sect is just too bizarre!’
...
"What does the Young Master mean by this?"
Outside the field of battle, Liu Wushuang scratched his head, equally confused by the situation. He couldn’t make sense of the current developments at all.
’Meng Tianxuan and the others have already begged for mercy...’
’Why is he still sending Venerables to self-destruct?!’
’It’s not worth it!’
’There’s no need for this at all.’
’Could it be that the Young Master is doing this simply to eliminate the Beast God Sect, destroy the Venerable Alliance, and rid the world of a great evil for the sake of all living beings?’
The more he considered this, the more Liu Wushuang’s face lit up with dawning realization, though a hint of uncertainty remained.
Qin Yang had always offered subtle hints without spelling things out, leaving the rest for him to comprehend on his own.
But that didn’t stop his admiration for Qin Yang from growing. At this moment, Liu Wushuang’s sense of belonging to the Heaven-Blasting Gang was swelling in his heart!
’I never would have thought... The Young Master seems so unreliable on a normal day, but at a critical moment, he can clearly distinguish right from wrong. He knows exactly what he’s doing...’
Liu Wushuang sighed with emotion, looking at the people inside the Spatial Domain with a single, deep regret—
that he wasn’t the one self-destructing...
...
「Inside the Domain.」
Space shattered into a kaleidoscope of strange phenomena.
"Qin Yang, there’s no need for things to get this ugly."
Wiping the sweat from his brow, Meng Tianxuan adopted a stooped, deferential posture, trying his best to stall for time. "Everything is negotiable. If you blow us up, there will be no one left to guard the Blood Spirit Array..."
"Yes, Qin Yang, Senior Brother is right. You have to think of the bigger picture."
The Nine Celestial Venerables chimed in from the side. "Leaving us alive is the only way to ensure the overall balance. Otherwise, with no one to guard the Blood Spirit Array, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Then, he looked at Meng Tianxuan and said, "My senior brother should have already told you. The way of the Celestial Dao waxes and wanes, always maintaining a balance of yin and yang. If you act like this, you will completely destroy the balance of heaven and earth... You’ll become a sinner!"
"Are you trying to guilt-trip me?"
Hearing this, Qin Yang’s expression darkened.
As he spoke, the rumbling thunder in the air intensified into a deafening shriek. He beckoned with a hand behind his back, and his Divine Thought stirred.
"Leaving you two to conspire is the real catastrophe for this world!"
The next moment,
two Venerables stepped forward.
Arcs of lightning danced around their bodies as a terrifying aura erupted from them.
As fast as wind and lightning, they shot downward, plummeting toward Meng Tianxuan and the Nine Celestial Venerables.
"Wait, Young Master..."
The Nine Celestial Venerables waved his hands frantically, still trying to delay the inevitable, but Qin Yang gave him no such chance!
The two Venerables fell straight down.
RUMBLE!
A brilliant flash shook the heavens!
