Chapter 337 - 336: I’m Sure You Don’t Want the Blood Spirit Array Destroyed, Right?
"Senior Brother, are you alright?!"
Li Zixuan hurried over. Seeing Qin Yang’s condition, the rims of her eyes instantly reddened.
At that moment, Qin Yang was lying in a deep crater.
His robes were torn to shreds, and rubble occasionally fell onto his body.
He looked utterly drained, the crisscrossing gashes on his chest so deep that bone was visible.
"Here, take my hand, Senior Brother..."
Li Zixuan carefully helped Qin Yang up, but before she could get a firm grip, another voice called out.
"Master, Master!"
Xiaobai scampered over and supported Qin Yang’s right arm, wailing her heart out. "You can’t die! If I lose you, I’ll become a fox that nobody wants..."
Her mournful sobs echoed across the city wall.
THUMP... THUMP...
Everyone gathered around.
The Chief Commander led a group of Innate Martial Artists and stood before Qin Yang, forming a human wall.
"Master, eat this, quickly."
Li Qinghe also hurried closer, pouring all kinds of Profound Pills from his Star Ring straight into Qin Yang’s mouth. His face was a mask of grief. "You absolutely cannot die! I’m still counting on inheriting your position as the future Gang Leader..."
As the Elixir Pills slid down his throat, Qin Yang sat cross-legged and began to regulate the chaotic energy within his body.
He then slowly exhaled a turbid breath, and a touch of color returned to his face.
He gave a slight nod to the people around him.
"Don’t worry, I’m not dead yet."
But as soon as the words left his mouth, no one responded.
Their faces were etched with grief, the despair in their hearts refusing to fade.
Although Qin Yang wasn’t dead, he was still grievously injured and would find it difficult to return to his peak strength.
Without Qin Yang...
Who else could possibly fend off the Beast God’s attacks?!
A bleak atmosphere spread silently, and despair seeped into every heart...
Just then,
BOOM!
A crushing pressure descended from the sky.
"Qin Yang, I will give you one last chance."
The Beast God’s voice boomed from overhead, filled with cold authority. He gazed down at the weakened Qin Yang, a smile playing on his lips. "Submit to me, allow me to place my mark upon you, and I will spare your life."
"Otherwise..."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over Li Zixuan and the others. He raised a fingertip, gathering an immense amount of Star Force into a single point that collapsed into a miniature black hole, ready to be unleashed at any moment.
"I will destroy you right now, and I’ll send your precious junior sister along with you, straight to the grave!"
’The power and secrets Qin Yang has displayed... they’re all so tempting.’
’If I can recruit him, I absolutely must. Then I’ll strip him of everything he’s worth!’
"Sigh..."
Qin Yang closed his eyes and sighed in resignation. "I’ve said it before," he began slowly. "I’m not in the habit of being anyone’s dog."
"Hmph!"
The Beast God wasn’t surprised. A vicious glint flashed in his eyes. "What a pity."
As his voice fell, a terrifying killing intent began to spread out from him, swiftly enveloping the Jianghai City Wall.
But at that critical moment!
Qin Yang pushed everyone aside and ascended into the sky once more.
His aura surged violently, and waves of energy blasted outward in all directions. He was like a barrel of dynamite about to detonate, his Star Force on the verge of losing control at any moment!
A direct confrontation!
’Hm? Self-detonation?!’
Seeing this, the Beast God’s pupils shrank. He suddenly recalled what Nangong Li had told him.
’Self-detonation is a tradition of the Heaven-Blasting Gang!’
’Even though I’ve recovered most of my strength, I’m still constrained by the Laws of this Lower Realm. My power is still only at the Late Stage of the Celestial Venerable Realm.’
’If I take the full force of a Celestial Venerable Realm expert’s self-detonation, I’ll be severely wounded, if not killed!’
’I can’t risk it! I have to get back!’
The Beast God rapidly retreated to a safe distance. He stared nervously at Qin Yang like a startled bird, an indelible panic in his eyes.
RUMBLE!
Qin Yang’s skin began to crack, and brilliant starlight erupted from the fissures.
Visible ripples of power spread outward.
The crowd was in an uproar!
"Senior Brother, don’t do it!"
"Young Friend Qin, stop!"
"Master!"
Xiaobai clutched her head and paced anxiously, scrambling in circles on her short legs. "It’s over, it’s over! Master is really doing it this time!"
Everyone was terrified.
However.
A few seconds later.
VMMMM!
The aura around Qin Yang instantly retracted, and the chaotic commotion fell silent.
The spatial turbulence died down...
"You didn’t actually think I was going to self-destruct, did you?"
Qin Yang wagged a finger, calmly observing the Beast God’s panicked state as if watching a buffoon. He chuckled. "So the great and mighty Beast God is actually this timid?
I can scare you this badly with just a little bluff?"
The moment he finished speaking, the killing intent in the air grew heavy once more!
"?!"
A vein bulged on the Beast God’s forehead. He was utterly humiliated. "You dare to trick me?"
As he spoke, he raised his right hand and aimed it at Li Zixuan. "Did you really think I wouldn’t strike?!"
RUMBLE!
His killing intent flared.
Having been suppressed, it now returned with even greater force!
"Heh, not so fast."
Qin Yang suddenly held up a hand, interrupting the Beast God’s preparations. He spoke with brazen confidence, "Aren’t you the least bit curious why the experts from my Heaven-Blasting Gang haven’t shown up yet?"
"Hm?"
Hearing this, the Beast God froze for a moment. He lowered the hand that was gathering Star Force and subconsciously scanned his surroundings.
After scanning the area with his senses, he frowned.
’There really isn’t any Venerable’s aura nearby.’
’Within a radius of several miles, Qin Yang is the only one at the Celestial Venerable Realm.’
At this realization, the Beast God felt that something was wrong. A sudden premonition sent a chill down his spine as he once again recalled Nangong Li’s words.
"...The Heaven-Blasting Gang has many Venerable experts, but there is one thing Lord Beast God must be especially wary of."
They were absurdly protective of their own!
Whenever an outsider attacked one of their own, the Heaven-Blasting Gang was certain to retaliate tenfold.
They returned kindness with greater kindness, and insults with devastating retribution.
’Logically, with all the commotion I’ve caused today—I nearly killed their Young Master—why haven’t I seen even a shadow of these experts?’
’Is a greater threat on its way?’
’Could it be... their Heaven-Blasting Gang Leader?!’
’This is bad!’
At that thought, a drop of cold sweat trickled down the Beast God’s temple. He nervously scanned his surroundings, once again as jumpy as a startled bird.
Seemingly sensing his tension, Qin Yang smiled, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said in a slow, deliberate tone:
"Relax. The Heaven-Blasting Gang Leader didn’t come."
As soon as the words were out, the Beast God’s face darkened.
’Wait a minute...’
’Again and again...’
’Are you playing me for a fool?!’
"You’re courting death! You dare bluff me?"
The Beast God was enraged. He gathered Star Force in his hand, preparing to crush Qin Yang.
"The Gang Leader isn’t here, that’s true. However..."
The wind whipped across Qin Yang’s face, but his expression remained perfectly calm as he continued nonchalantly:
"If I die, then that Blood Spirit Array you’re so fixated on... will be destroyed along with me."
"What do you mean by that?"
The Beast God froze once more.
However, Qin Yang didn’t answer. He simply glanced in the direction of Li Shui Lake, guiding the Beast God’s gaze along with his.
To the southeast.
RUMBLE!
Twelve pillars of energy shot toward the heavens!
The sky above Li Shui Lake suddenly roiled. Wild lightning roared and twisted through a churning sea of inky clouds. The heavens grew impossibly dark, as if an infinite pressure was descending from above.
"Lord Beast God..."
Qin Yang’s eyes narrowed. He smiled at the Beast God, his voice shifting to a teasing drawl.
"You wouldn’t want the Blood Spirit Array to be destroyed... would you?"
