Battle Emperor - Chapter 39

Chapter 39

“This kid is too abnormal. After not seeing him for just one day, he’s completely changed. I’ve now been heavily wounded, and he has that mysterious and unpredictable technique that lets him enter the ground. If you try to run, you won’t escape. If it’s like this, then it’s best if he dies with me at the same time.” Te La decided, seeing Xie Ao Yu send out two swipes in the air. It ought to be old-timers bowing out while new strength rises. It was currently an opportunity for reckless killing.

(TN: What a way to start the chapter. I’m not quite sure what’s meant here.  应该是旧力已去，新力未生之际，正是袭杀的大好机会 Especially the last part.)

He wanted to drag Xie Ao Yu down with him!

“Die!” Te La crazily screamed, waving his cane knife that had a cold sharpness to it, charging in for the kill.

He had already prepared to die.

At the same time, he had prepared to kill Xie Ao Yu.

But… as he slashed, he only slashed through the air.

Xie Ao Yu used Earth Escape Technique, and after landing on the ground, rather than immediately going back into the ground, he sent his sword out, putting his entire strength in the blow. Xie Ao Yu’s laughter came from behind Te La.

The Lightning Spirit Holy Sword made a horizontal sweep.

“Kacha!”

There was only one sound. Fresh blood poured out of the head that went flying.

The headless corpse fell on its back.

The turbulent and violent valley became quiet in an instant. There were corpses littered across the ground to prove there had been a fight there moments ago. The scent of blood was so thick it could make a person vomit.

Xie Ao Yu eyes swept over Te La’s corpse. He reached out and plucked off the space ring on the body.

On the edge of the Heng Duan Mountain Range, Te La’s group’s strength should have been considered not bad. It was impossible for him to not have something in his possession.

When Xie Ao Yu had come out, it was not only to gain experience. He also had another objective which was to obtain a few other high level fighting skills, weapons, or pills etc. He definitely wouldn’t let anything useful for the Xie family’s growth slip by, just like his father Xie Gan.

The Xie family’s foundation needed him to be strong.

The space ring had some seals in it, but this couldn’t bother Xie Ao Yu. His qi flowed into it, forcibly breaking them. As he reached out to examine if the inside had anything good, he heard a slight sound from somewhere not too far away.

Xie Ao Yu placed Te La’s space ring into his own space ring.

“More people are coming.” Xie Ao Yu whispered.

Qin Yueyi let Xiao Bai sit on her shoulders, lifting her short sword, “This beauty was just unable to find people to fight with. They’ve come right on time. Witness this beauty’s invincible might on display. This time you can’t interfere.” Then using the short sword to point in that direction, “Come name yourself.”

“Imperial Crown Mercenary Group’s Valencia.” A loud voice rang out.

(TN: 皇冠佣兵团瓦伦特斯. I think I did alright this time. Still open for better names though.)

Xie Ao Yu and Qin Yueyi looked at each other, both frowning.

This Imperial Crown Mercenary Group was the continent’s largest mercenary group. Rumors had it that they had never been defeated in their entire history, and doing so without any great losses either. Included in that were two explorations of the continent’s restricted areas for objectives. It could be said to be the best mercenary group in the mercenary profession.

The leader of the Imperial Crown Mercenary Group was an Emperor level master.

Emperor level. That was the highest realm that one could cultivate to, not something that an ordinary person could attain to. Below him were four deputy heads, each of them were at the Sage level. This mercenary group was extremely strong. No one would dare to underestimate them.  

“Can I ask you two, if the person that you killed, is that the Black Bear Thieves group’s leader Te La?” The voice that first spoke, Valencia, brought his people out from the shadows.

This person’s age was not too old, around thirty-ish. He had a dark complexion, his eyes flashing a refined light. Behind him were about a hundred people.

“That’s correct.” Xie Ao Yu signaled to Qin Yueyi to back off and let him deal with it in order to avoid any unnecessary conflicts between the two sides, especially since it was mercenaries from the Imperial Crown Mercenary Group.

“Hng!”

Qin Yueyi felt dissatisfied. The Qin family’s strength was naturally far above the Imperial Crown Mercenary Group’s entire strength, but she understood, right now she lacked strength.

“This Te La. We have already searched for him for a long time. Who would have thought that he would be killed by these two young practitioners.” Valencia laughed.

“We were just lucky.” Xie Ao Yu lightly said.

Valencia looked over the two, their entire bodies were unharmed, and the ground was littered with Te La and his underlings’ corpses. He understood that these two young peoples’ strength weren’t ordinary or it was due to a high-leveled spirit beast pet. But the injuries on the corpses weren’t caused by a spirit beast, thus it must be that they had used their own strength.

Te La and Valencia had exchanged blows before, so naturally he knew Te La’s strength. He also began secretly pay more attention, “To be honest with you, we were searching for Te La to ask for something. Could you possibly hand Te La’s space ring to us. We will only grab that one item, the rest we will not touch.”

They wanted something?

What could the Imperial Crown Mercenary Group with their status need from Te La? Xie Ao Yu said: “Your excellency, do you and Te La have some sort of friendship?”

“How dare you. How could we, the dignified Imperial Crown Mercenary Group, have any sort of friendship with such trash!” A young man who was standing next to Valencia loudly yelled out.

“Do not be rude!” Valencia quietly said, “Your excellency might not know, the thing was originally ours. It was stolen by Te La who also killed not a small amount of my brothers.”

Xie Ao Yu’s heart rate increased. He was almost certain that it was the map. Te La had said before that he had sacrificed nearly a hundred brothers’ lives to get the map.

Obviously it was impossible for the map to have been handed to him.

If he gave it to them, and they went to find it, but couldn’t find the fighting skill, they’d naturally assume that Te La had found the fighting skill, and that the space ring was in Xie Ao Yu’s possession. Naturally they would direct their attention to Xie Ao Yu.

That was something Xie Ao Yu didn’t want to have happen.

“You said it’s yours? Those things are all unclaimed. Now we’ve obtained it, it’s ours.” Qin Yueyi seeing this, immediately let out her fierce beauty personality, speaking in a tone of outrage.

Xie Ao Yu quietly let out a sigh.

He had discovered, with Qin Yueyi’s partnership, they were working hand in glove. They didn’t even need to converse, they could work with just a glance at each other.

“Fart. That map was something our brothers desperately fought for and took, but was then taken by Te La. Of course it’s ours.” The young man beside Valencia angrily spoke.

“That’s right, you even said that you guys took it. Then the original owner isn’t you guys.” Qin Yueyi smiled and said, “That is to say, the map has no owner. Now that we’ve obtained it, it belongs to us.”

Xie Ao Yu covertly gave Qin Yueyi a thumbs up.

Qin Yueyi winked at him, giving off the appearance of a beauty.

“Shut up!” Valencia fiercely glared at the young man. Now he had done it, he had explicitly told the other party that they were searching for a map.

The young man bitterly stepped back, but was still glaring angrily.

Valencia lightly coughed once and said: “You two, that map is our Imperial Crown Mercenary Group’s item, I’m hoping you will return it to us.”

“Your excellency, are you threatening us?” Xie Ao Yu frowned and said.

“If you want to interpret it like that, you can do that.” Valencia lightly said. He believed that the Imperial Crown Mercenary Group still had the strength to deter others.

Xie Ao Yu coldly said: “I hate being threatened by people!”

Valencia laughed: “I also hate it, but some things are just like that because this world isn’t fair to begin with, so you can only recognize the fact.”

The two of them stared at each other.

A surge of pent-up anger roiled in Xie Ao Yu’s heart.

Just as Valencia had said, the world was unfair. Who let his own strength to be insufficient. If the Xie Family was stronger than the Imperial Crown Mercenary Group, would Valencia still dare to fart like this?

Power!

“Alright, I’ll give it to you.” Xie Ao Yu took out Te La’s space ring, and from inside it dug out the map. Then he threw it to Valencia, “There’s only this map inside.”

Reaching out his hand and grabbing, when Valencia saw it, he smiled and said: “This is right. This is it.” He put away the map. With a wave of his hand, he and his people left.

“Just giving it to them like that?” Qin Yueyi said unsatisfied, “If I had known earlier, I would have brought the Orchid Command.”

The Orchid Command was Tian Luo Empire’s Qin family’s emblem. This meant whoever had the emblem was recognized as a Qin family member, which included the status. Without speaking of the Imperial Crown Mercenary Group, even if there were two Imperial Crown Mercenary Groups, they still wouldn’t dare to beg. But Qin Yueyi had not brought it, so even if she said she was a Qin family person, just like Te La, no one would believe her, and would even make the fight more intense.

And the two of their strengths still hadn’t reached the level of Valencia and those others.

Xie Ao Yu said: “Of course not. I’ve long since gone to the marked spot on the map. If they want to follow the map, they’ll need at least two days’ time.” He laughed, “Little devil, what poisonous things do you have in your possession?”

“I don’t have any, ah. Didn’t I say, I secretly ran out and forgot to bring those kinds of things.” Qin Yueyi said sadly.

“Could it be that you did not think that the divergent water Amethyst Spirit Water, just like how mysterious fires have spirit beasts guarding them, would have a high level spirit beast guarding it. How were you planning to take care of it?” Xie Ao Yu said

Qin Yueyi said: “Of course I’ve thought about it, so I prepared a laxative.” She pulled out a small bottle. Inside was filled with some white liquid, “We could send it to Valencia and them.”

(TN: 泻药. Yeah. A laxative to fight a spirit beast.)

“You have to eat it for it to be effective.” Xie Ao Yu said.

On Qin Yueyi’s sweet beautiful face appeared a devil-like grin, “You don’t know about this then. Among the ten treasures in this beauty’s hands, this laxative is number one. This beauty let Grand Master Men Luo refine it.”

(TN: 门罗. Not sure what you can do with it. Manure?)

“Men Luo?” Xie Ao Yu was made speechless.

The most famous alchemist on the continent was named Men Luo. The alchemist profession went up to Grand Master. The Grand Master was a much more powerful standing than Ziyan who was a Master Alchemist.

A laxative refined by Grand Master Men Luo?

Qin Yueyi said: “This is the rumored invincible laxative…Unstoppable Diarrhea!”
(TN: 一沾泻不停)

Unstoppable Diarrhea, hearing this name, Xie Ao Yu suddenly felt like praying for Valencia and the others.
