Wu Qi turned to look at Zhang Yi, startled as he said with a bitter smile, "Old Mister Zhang Yi, what are you doing? We have stood together through storms and stress over the past months, and finally, we are safe from the two Gold Immortals . Is being ungrateful a custom practiced in Great Qin?"
Zhang Yi gnashed his teeth in anger, and his beard fluttered like a butterfly below his chin . Pointing at Six Rivers City, he said furiously, "What am I doing? We have stood together through storm and stress? Ah? Curse you!" Although he was a cultured and refined man, he could not help but use some coarse words . "If not because of you, how would the two scourges have come to Six Rivers City? If not because of you, how would Six Rivers City become something like this?"
With his mouth twitching, Wu Qi turned around and glanced at the Six Rivers City . He felt embarrassed at the sight of it .
It was once a lively city with buildings neatly constructed . But, all was gone now . What was left where once the city stood was a massive sinkhole that went almost one hundred miles deep, and having a huge mouth measuring about forty to fifty miles from edge to edge . Water from the great lake next to it was gurgling into the massive hole . Judging from the flow rate, it would not take long before the Six Rivers City had to be renamed as the Six Rivers Lake .
Over hundreds of miles of fertile farmlands around Six River City had sunk into the ground, some a few miles deep and some dozens of miles deep . No ordinary people could work on a landscape like this . It was simply a huge crater .
And, the ripening corps were all destroyed by the few powerful spells Wu Qi had cast . Not even a single grain was left, everything getting buried under the messy soil . A few villages closest to Six Rivers City had vanished completely . All the livestock in the villages, such as pigs, dogs, cows, and horses all were ripped into pieces by the spells . Their blood and flesh were mixed with the blackened earth .
Zhang Yi pointed at the utter mess and bellowed, "Before we arrived, the two hundred thousand people of Six Rivers City had spent a couple dozens of years to build this foundation . We wanted to make this city as Great Qin's stronghold on Pangu Continent, and once His Majesty descended here, Great Qin would begin the expansion of our territory and raise our flags . But look at it now . What have you done to the fruit of our painstaking labor?"
Wu Qi shook his head . It was not his intention to create such a mess . Even though he was the Marquis of the Great Yan Dynasty, he did not have the intention to make things difficult for Great Qin!
He gave them a wry smile, spread his arms helplessly, and said, "Well, in order to deal with the two Gold Immortals, I had no other choice but to go hard! Unfortunately, I can't compensate your losses as I don't have even a single copper coin with me . Why don't you tell me what I should do?"
Right after he finished the last word, Wu Qi burst into laughter suddenly . "Aye, I'm such a fool! Why should I be reasonable with you? Aye, Zhang Yi the old man, Bai Qi the boorish fellow, I've destroyed your Six Rivers City, but what can you do to me? And yes, you are right . I've intentionally lured Reverend Li Yang and Fairy Xuan Die here, but what can you do to me now?"
Initially, Wu Qi had thought of explaining the difficulties he was facing and the reasons for his decisions . But, he suddenly came to realize that they were in the world of cultivators, and the three of them, he, Zhang Yi, and Bai Qi, were all Immortal cultivators! Hence, there was no better way to resolve their conflict than using the rules of Immortal cultivators! Who had the biggest fist would be the one with reason, and the one who dominated the others! Why should he explain to them, to someone who was so weak that he could easily kill with just a pinch of his fingers?
An armored soldier standing behind Bai Qi cursed, as he suddenly pulled out a single-handled halberd and swung it down towards Wu Qi . He was almost ten feet tall, body corded with muscles like a wild boar . As he swung the halberd with his right hand, a Palm Thunder darted out of his left palm, piercing through the air with its head aiming at Wu Qi's chest . The man's attack style was clean and simple, without any fancy patterns that came with no benefits but just wasting time . Clearly, it was an ability which he had gained through battles, a combative quality that no cultivators who only cultivated in a seclusion could ever possess .
Wu Qi snorted coldly, and a crystal clear shield made of ice suddenly emerged before him . The pitch-dark Palm Thunder arrived and smashed into the icy shield, instantly being frozen into an ice cube by the intense cold air before it could explode . When the burly man's single-handed halberd was about three feet away from Wu Qi's head, Ao Buzun, who was laying atop Wu Qi's shoulder, flew up into the air in a lazy manner and flung his little tail out . A cracking noise was heard as the single-handed halberd was knocked flying away from the burly man's palm . A large piece of skin from his palm was scraped off, blood dripping out from the wound .
Zhang Yi was stunned, and Bai Qi had the corners of his eyes twitched violently . The burly man was Meng Zhang, one of Bai Qi's loyal subordinates . He had just transcended his Heavenly Tribulation and stepped into the realm of Heaven Immortal one year ago . Although his attack style was simple, they were personally taught by Bai Qi, which was the most effective battlefield style with the strongest offensive strength . On the other hand, the Palm Thunder was named the 'Army Breaking and Slaughtering Thunder', an attack based on the aura of death and grievance left behind by countless people before they were killed . It was an attack with a very strong power, yet Wu Qi managed to counter it without too much effort .
Zhang Yi and Bai Qi knew they were not much stronger than Meng Zhang . They had just transcended their Heavenly Tribulations a few years earlier than him .
Zhang Yi gave Ao Buzun a few glances, who had returned to his Master's shoulder, then fixed his gaze at Wu Qi's face and asked in a deep voice, "I thought you were only a Nascent Soul cultivator?"
Wu Qi chuckled . His Nether Inferno Fiend Nascent Soul suddenly disintegrated, transforming into chaotic energies and returning to the various parts of his body . A strange aura was emanating from inside his body . Staring at the transfixed Zhang Yi and Bai Qi, he said with a smile, "Now, my cultivation base is the peak stage of Xiantian realm!"
Using the chaotic energies, he formed a Gold Core inside his body based on the Dark Yin Water Scripture . Now, the aura of Gold Core realm was emanating from his body . He laughed complacently and said, "Now my cultivation base is of Gold Core realm!" Then, he opened his mouth and spat out the purple-and-blue Gold Core, which was as large as a chicken egg and exuding an immense cold air . He gave it a heft, and suddenly threw it out as if it were just a small rock .
