If only I had an afterlife to slaughter evil
BOOOOM!!! It sounded as if the entire world was shaking.
A large mountain was crushed into pieces and countless broken rocks flew into the air creating clouds of dust obscuring everything.
Suddenly, with a shout, a figure broke out from the dust clouds. This figure, emmiting a dazzling light like thunder and lightning in a stormy night, was quickly flying forward. His tremendous speed led to a long streak of dust trailing him with the shape of a Chinese dragon crawling forward.
Immediately after that, a crowd of figures flew through the clouds creating countless long streaks of dust, hurriedly chasing after the person in front, as if possessed!
“The three largest factions had ganged together, and totalled 3496 cultivators, chasing me through thirty-seven thousand miles! Aha… you guys are really taking great efforts to eliminate me!”
With a tremendous noise, Ye Xiao - the man flying in front, suddenly stopped on a flying rock, before quickly turning around with a wild laugh. The sharp light from a sword flew out of his hand at full speed, like a flashing streak of lightning of the firmament.
It was the last of the power he contained!
The light flew into the crowd like a lightning strike, causing pitiful cries to burst out. But, as one fell, another rose. Some of them bled in the skies before falling to the ground, all the while swinging their hands and feet!
Ye Xiao was now bleeding profusely because of his previous strike which had rendered him unable to fly.
坐如山岳岿然,站似通天长虹;动有风云涌动,行则霹雳随身!
(Sitting like a lofty mountain, standing like a great rainbow; acting like a storm surging, moving like a thunderbolt.)
Sitting, standing, acting, moving, the four lines are excellent descriptions about the cultivators who have reached the Grade of Daoyuan [1].
Although Ye Xiao had been the best of all the Daoyuan cultivators, after this last amazing sword strike, he was just a spent bullet. At the moment, he was like a lamp out of oil – he had no more energy left for flying. When he landed, the rocks under his feet had quickly become stained with his blood!
Panting heavily, Ye Xiao still had the scorn in his eyes, and he sneered, “Humph, I may have reached the end with no chance to get out and I may not be able to survive this, but even if I will die here today, I can assure you that most of you guys will die with me today!”
The rock he was standing on, was on the peak of a huge mountain.
When Ye Xiao looked back, he was like a king in the sky looking down with imperceptible stateliness even in this imminent predicament!
Fearing his aggression, hundreds of the cultivators stood still in front of Ye Xiao! They were looking at him with misgivings in their eyes. Far behind them, beyond the limits of one's eyesight, there was a path. It was the path they had travelled which was currently made of countless dead bodies. An unexpected howling wind was coming over. A few decapitated heads with open eyes were blown and were sent rolling.
The cost they paid for Ye Xiao’s death was obviously shown by this path of death built of flesh and blood covering thousands of miles over mountains and rivers!
Although this Xiao Monarch was clearly at the end of his rope and they knew that he would find it impossible to get away, for the moment, they still didn’t dare to take a step forward!
They all knew clearly that whoever dared to get closer at this moment, would instantly get killed and be buried with the dead and go to hell with Ye Xiao!
No matter who, there would be no exception!
It was a clear point with no room for any doubt.
Because the guy standing in front of them, was the Xiao Monarch!
Laughing out loud at all the heroes under the firmament, he was the monarch of the universe!
The Xiao Monarch was a legend in the realms in the firmament!
The 3496 cultivators from the three factions had set up huge traps and used countless approaches trying to hunt down Ye Xiao, travelled thirty-seven thousand miles and destroyed nearly every mountain and river they had passed. However, Ye Xiao on his own, had unexpectedly killed almost all the 3496 cultivators behind him, leaving countless broken lands and piles of dead cultivator’s bodies wherever he went!
Who could dare to look down upon such a formidable man?
Even when he had reached his end, nobody would dare to challenge his sword!
“Xiao Monarch! We wouldn’t have ganged together to hunt you down like this if it were not for your perverseness against us.” A sage-like old man in the crowd sighed, completely exhausted, “I just don’t understand why… our well known Xiao Monarch would suddenly declare war against us and try to kill us. What you did has led to losses on both sides. Since it won’t do you any good, why are you doing this?”
Although the three factions finally had the chance to slaughter their shared enemy, Ye Xiao, the cost they had paid for it was totally unbearable. They had lost almost ninety percent of their warriors in this battle. The losses they had suffered were so massive, that they would find it impossible to revitalize themselves within the next one thousand years.
The three factions would lose their top factions status in the Qing-Yun[2] realm once there were other factions rising – it must be the worst situation for them. Besides, there were still the Palace and the Temple aiming for their heads like tigers stalking their prey!
After everything, they were still muddle-headed. They still couldn’t understand what the problem was with this horrible Xiao Monarch?! This was truly to harm others without benefiting himself!
Had the domineering Xiao Monarch, who persisted his old ways and had never cared about anything, gone crazy?
Ye Xiao sneered, “So you don’t get it? You really don’t get it? Aha…”
He looked down at the huge pit on his chest through which his entrails could be seen and actually stretched his wounded body. He chillingly said, “No matter what dirty business you three factions did, I didn’t give a damn about it. Except you forcibly occupied all the resources for cultivating, changed the energy sources and monopolized all valuable practice materials! You kept other people from cultivating themselves so that only you three factions could practice in the Qing-Yun Realm… You acted so overbearingly, even going as far as breaking people’s futures. I just detested this! Since I detested it, I must discipline it!”
“No, Xiao Monarch! You are wrong! Only the virtuous should own the treasures in this world. Those who want to cultivate themselves should follow the law of the jungle. We did nothing wrong!”
“What -hah!” Ye Xiao laughed out coughing, “The virtuous you were saying? That is right. The treasures in the world belong to anyone. No matter who, the one who seizes them has the right to own them. On that I agree. However, you slaughtered millions of innocent people just because you wanted to control the miraculous mountains, using those souls of the dead as sacrificial offerings to build the power vein! You made large wealthy towns turn into wastelands filled with death and cold. Then you would cover your crime up with a claim that those places were suffering with pestilences and you had to do that to save the rest of the realm… How many times did you mindlessly murder a whole town and distort facts in these years? How dare you claim to be virtuous? Such bloody virtuous! HAHAHAHA!!”
He laughed wildly with an undisguised tone that was full of taunt.
“All cultivation resources are yours. Anyone who dares to take some will get no mercy and all his relatives will be killed - no one lives! You guys acted excessively first, I am just fighting back the same way. How difficult could it be to understand?”
He bended his mouth and smiled sarcastically.
After Ye Xiao spoke, the three leaders of the crowd - the heads of the three factions, had ungainly expressions.
“So that’s it… The reason you fought against us is simply to fight for justice… to defend cultivators against our injustice? Aha, what a noble man, Xiao Monarch! Even so, after your death today, who on earth would stand up and face us? We three factions may have suffered a great loss, but we are not destroyed. After no more than a thousand years, we will fully recover! What a pity. After today, there will no longer be a famous Xiao Monarch!” The sage-like old man sneered.
