“Kill him!” The three men looked at Shui Gu. Although they found this fellow strange, the dragon-shaped metal made their hearts burn with desire. The three men struck simultaneously, lunging fiercely at Ye Chu.
“You think you can kill me?” Shui Gu yawned. His swaying body vanished instantly. In the next instant, he was before the three Sovereigns, so fast it made one’s scalp tingle. Even though Ye Chu had cultivated the Instant Wind Technique, he could not make out Shui Gu’s movements.
In the next instant, Tan Miaotong’s eyes widened, her cherry lips parted, staring blankly at Shui Gu. Her slender hand covered her mouth to stop herself from gasping in amazement.
Ye Chu knew Shui Gu was strong, but this was excessively strong. In merely a single breath’s time, the three men were frozen in place. Each had a thick layer of ice covering their bodies, standing there like ice sculptures.
“Not sleeping properly, shouting about killing, how unhealthy!” Shui Gu yawned, still wearing that infuriating, sleep-deprived expression. He pointed a finger at the head of one of the frozen Blood Guards. The ice on the head instantly shattered, revealing the man’s face. His lips trembled violently, mist pouring from his breath. His lips had turned blue from the cold, his face pale and bloodless.
“I will say one sentence, you answer one. Otherwise, I will freeze you again and ask someone else. Dying is easy, but I have plenty of methods to make you wish you were dead. If you want to try, go ahead.” Shui Gu looked at him with a smile.
The Blood Guard stared at Shui Gu in terror, his eyes full of horror. He had never dreamed that as Sovereigns, they would be frozen by Shui Gu in a single instant. The three of them had no power to fight back in his hands. Just how strong was this person?
“Who exactly are you?” the Blood Guard asked Shui Gu with a trembling voice.
“You are not qualified to know who I am. Have the leader of your Blood Guard organisation come and ask. But I can tell you, I have quite a few scores to settle with the Blood Guards.” Shui Gu spoke between yawns, looking as if he would fall asleep in the next instant. Ye Chu watched from the side, very worried that this madman who only knew closed-door cultivation would suddenly collapse on the ground and fall asleep.
But clearly, Ye Chu’s worry was unnecessary. Although Shui Gu’s eyelids were fighting, he always managed to maintain that last sliver of wakefulness.
The Blood Guard’s pupils contracted sharply. A cultivator qualified to be an enemy of the Blood Guard organisation was definitely no ordinary person. Because the Blood Guards believed in cutting the grass and pulling out the roots, those who survived were terrifying existences.
The Blood Guard was terrified, his lips trembling continuously.
“Speak. The Blood Guards have resurrected again this time. Apart from this item, what else are they planning to do?” Shui Gu asked in a sleep-filled voice.
“I do not know, I really do not know!” the other party cried out in terror. Unable to answer the first question, he feared Shui Gu would torture him. He did not doubt Shui Gu’s words in the slightest. Someone who could freeze him in an instant could easily make him wish he were dead.
“No need to be so nervous. I know you do not know. A small fry like you would not know such a big secret.” Shui Gu looked at him with a smile, his eyes narrowing into a line, smiling at him. “But there is another question you must tell me. Otherwise, I will make you very happy.”
Amidst the Blood Guard’s terror, Shui Gu said with a smile, “Of course, if you tell me, I will not kill you. I can swear to this. You must believe me.”
Hearing Shui Gu’s words, the Blood Guard’s eyes showed a glimmer of hope. When a person’s cultivation reached a certain level, they ought to revere heaven and earth. If he dared to swear an oath, perhaps he would truly spare him.
“Where is the Blood Guards’ nest?” Shui Gu stared at him, a terrifying killing intent flowing from his eyes. This killing intent was felt even by Ye Chu, who was far away. Ye Chu instantly felt as if he had entered an ice cellar, his entire body about to prostrate on the ground.
This made Ye Chu’s heart fill with horror. Shui Gu was not targeting him, yet the mere ripple of his killing intent made him like this. Just how strong was Shui Gu’s killing intent?
This was also the first time Ye Chu had seen this side of Shui Gu. Shui Gu had always been yawning, doing nothing but sleeping. This was the first time he had displayed such killing intent before Ye Chu. Ye Chu instantly knew there was definitely deep hatred between Shui Gu and the Blood Guard organisation.
Ye Chu somewhat understood why this madman, who never came down the mountain and only knew closed-door cultivation, had happened to save him this time. Shui Gu had likely been searching for the Blood Guards all along. Their appearance near Wuxin Peak was simply courting death.
“I do not know. The Blood Guards have a strict hierarchy. I do not know where the true location of the Blood Guards is. I only know the location of this branch palace!” Under Shui Gu’s killing intent, the Blood Guard’s defences were instantly broken. He cried out in terror and misery to Shui Gu.
“Where is it?” Shui Gu asked.
“A hundred li outside Qingmi Mountain, to the west there is a farmhouse. That is the temporary location of the branch palace. We meet there!” Under Shui Gu’s killing intent, the Blood Guard had long since lost his mental defences. He answered whatever was asked, crying out in extreme terror. The cold made his lips tremble continuously, his entire face devoid of colour.
“Very good!” Shui Gu said to the three men with a smile. “I promised not to kill you!”
Hearing Shui Gu’s words, his entire head went limp, yet he felt a trace of relief, thinking he had finally escaped death.
But before he could even finish rejoicing, Ye Chu stepped forward, looked at him with a smile and said, “He promised not to kill you, but I did not promise.”
With that, Ye Chu’s palm pressed onto the other party’s head, and the Devour Soul Transform Origin Technique erupted violently. Although absorbing a Sovereign’s power no longer had much effect for Ye Chu at this point, he could refine the Sovereign’s essence into pellets, which would be greatly useful for others’ cultivation.
“You cannot do this, you cannot!” The Blood Guard was terrified, horrified beyond measure, wanting to struggle but frozen in place. He could only watch helplessly as Ye Chu refined the essence of his primordial spirit.
Shui Gu looked at the Blood Guard who had become a dried corpse. He frowned slightly. “You have cultivated Blood Butcher Supreme’s Devour Soul Transform Origin Technique?”
“Hm? What of it?” Ye Chu asked in confusion.
Shui Gu looked at Ye Chu for a long time before replying, “It is not suitable for you to cultivate. It brings you nothing but harm. Although it can make your strength surge now, whatever cause you plant will bear whatever fruit. Especially since you also possess another Supreme Will.”
Hearing Shui Gu’s words, Ye Chu was slightly stunned. “Is there harm in this?”
“What you cultivate is the Devour Soul Transform Origin Technique that Blood Butcher Supreme widely spread, not his true Devour Soul Transform Origin Technique. Blood Butcher Supreme can be called a demon. Do you think something he deliberately left behind would be anything good?” Shui Gu said to Ye Chu.
Ye Chu was startled, but then smiled. “No matter. I already have Supreme Will upon me. What do I have to fear from the Devour Soul Transform Origin Technique?”
Sorry, yesterday’s chapter is only being updated today. It was not unfinished, but the network had issues and could not connect. I had someone fix it today. I love you all. Kill me or skin me as you please, wuwu… I am also a pitiful child.
