Chapter 39: The Bait!

  "Hand over the Beast Emperor's Blood Mirror to me, and I'll give you a quick death." The Black Water Young Master raised one hand, with spiral-shaped energy in his palm, whirring and swirling like a mournful cry.

  "Qin Yi, thank you just now." Wu Peng and others rushed to Qin Yi's side.

  They knew that if Qin Yi hadn't intervened, they might have been poisoned and become a walking corpse, which would be a thousand times, ten thousand times more painful than death!

  "We are brothers, what's the point of saying that." Qin Yi waved his hand and looked up, his gaze focusing on Hei Shui Gong Zi.

  Qin Yi judged that the skull wind and fire wheel under Heishui Gongzi's feet was also an extremely powerful treasure, otherwise, even if he was one level higher than himself, he wouldn't be able to exert such a strong oppressive force on him.

  Within a hundred feet of the sea surface, even the seawater was suppressed by Hei Shui Gongzi's aura, causing the sea surface to sink and stop flowing.

  "Is it not?" The Black Water Young Master's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly shouted in a sharp voice, "Then die!"

  The sharp whistling sound, tearing through the eardrum, Wu Peng and others' faces showed a painful expression, covering their ears with their hands, but the sharp, ear-piercing sound still penetrated into their brain, almost flipping over their skull.

  Pffft pffft pffft pffft!

  Wu Peng, Zhao Jing Sheng, Xu **, and Zeng Xuan spat out fresh blood, their faces pale white, and fell to the ground, looking like they were seriously injured.

  Qin Yi's body was robust and far surpassed that of the four men. Although he hadn't been injured by the sonic wave, his mind was still in a state of turmoil.

  "Beast Emperor Blood Mirror!" Qin Yi's legs kicked out, and the waves churned, forming a heavenly ladder.

  Qin Yi leaped up the stairs, holding the Beast Emperor's Blood Mirror in his hand, and punched out towards Hei Shui Gongzi.

  Qin Yi currently doesn't know how to use the Beast Emperor's Blood Mirror, he can only simply use it to amplify his own power. If he understood how to control this treasure, the might he would unleash would be at least three to five times greater than now!

  "A tiny grain of rice, yet dares to compete with the heavens for brilliance!" The Black Water Young Master sneered coldly, his feet trampling on skulls, wailing and crying out, green ghost fires burning fiercely, forming a giant bow as high as a person in mid-air.

  The bowstring was pulled to its limit, the air around it distorting with a piercing whine. A green rocket, as thick as an adult's arm, suddenly materialized and shot towards Qin Yi in an instant, forming a whirlpool in mid-air!

  Boom!

  The true energy and the long arrow collided in mid-air, Qin Yi's true energy was incredibly thick and its condensation degree far surpassed that of other cultivators. The green fire arrow was instantly crushed to powder, like a violent storm pouring down towards the sea surface, waves rolled and formed concentric circles, hundreds of feet of seawater were all evaporated by the flames!

  However, the rocket was torn apart, but its remaining power still lingered. Qin Yi only felt a piercing pain, like a venomous snake, spreading from his fingertips to his palm, wrist, forearm, and elbow, his entire right arm trembling non-stop, as if his bones were breaking inch by inch, and his muscles were bursting with intense pain.

  If it were someone else, their entire right arm would have been blown to pulp by now. Only Qin Yi's body, tempered through refinement, possessed a physique that was almost brutish!

  Propelled by immense force, Qin Yi plunged headfirst into the ocean.

  The surface of the sea was actually scorching hot from the flames, but just a few feet below, it was still icy cold.

  "Actually able to withstand the force of my one blow." In mid-air, Hei Shui Gongzi was also blown backward by the air wave for several steps, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

  Wu Peng and the others were capsized by a wave, saw Qin Yi fall into the water, and without caring about their own injuries, they rushed to the reef edge, loudly shouting Qin Yi's name.

  Qin Yi was now soaking in the seawater, his body surging with blood and gas, enduring intense pain, but his mind was clearer than ever.

  "I thought that only those who had reached the Flame Soul Great Boundary could condense flames, but this Black Water Young Master is only at the Sacrificial Body Boundary, yet he can use a treasure to wield flame attacks. His power is probably ten or twenty times stronger than his bare fists! I'm just suffering from not having a treasure." Qin Yi's heart was filled with hatred, "However, after being hit by him like this, my heartbeat has accelerated and I feel more powerful. It seems that the Huangquan Jitian Dan has dissolved another part of its power. To quickly increase my strength, I must fight even more."

  In an instant, Qin Yi's heart had already set a goal for the future.

  "But now, how to get rid of Heishui Gongzi is the top priority." Qin Yi's brain quickly thought.

  "You're pretending to be dead, huh? Well, I'll torture your companions one by one until they die. Let's see how long you can hide!" Suddenly, the sharp whistle of Hei Shui Gong Zi echoed above the sea surface again.

  "What!" Qin Yi's eyes blazed with anger, his fists clenched and crackling, "What should I do? Wu Peng and the others had given me a chance to survive before, so I have no reason to abandon them now. Alright, let's go all out!"

  Qin Yi made up his mind, just about to jump out of the water, when suddenly a thought occurred to him. A powerful and overbearing force broke through the surface of the sea, riding the wind and waves, and in the blink of an eye, it had entered Qin Yi's range of perception.

  "Monster deserves death!" A loud shout, like thunder, shook the ears.

  "Is it a helper? A student from our college?" Qin Yi was both surprised and delighted, and hastily drilled out of the water.

  As soon as his head emerged from the water's surface, he felt a strong light piercing his eyes, like the sun descending onto the sea.

  "It's him!" Qin Yi narrowed his eyes and looked over, on the surface of the sea, a male disciple with a giant bow, was exactly the one who had left a deep impression on Qin Yi that day, standing beside Luo Xiao.

  "Chi Xiao Bow? You're Lei Tian!" Black Water Young Master stared at the newcomer and let out a cry of surprise.

  "It's Lei Tianzi!" Wu Peng and the others also transmitted their surprised voices.

  Qin Yi gazed at the male disciple who was approaching on foot, silently memorizing his name.

  "Cover the sky with arrows!" Lei Tian let out a loud shout, his purple longbow fully drawn, wave-like energy surging and churning, golden light arrows condensed into shape on the bowstring, radiant and dazzling, piercing the eyes like scorching sunlight, descending upon the earth.

  Rumble—Boom!

  The long arrow shot out, breaking through the void, and the sea water was divided. The sunlight shone down, shining on people's bodies, making every inch of skin feel scorching hot.

  The air around was like a violent stormy wave, blowing so hard that people could hardly stand still. Amidst the fierce wind, Qin Yi stabilized his figure and secretly sighed in his heart: "Is this the power of the Jieyun realm? Indeed it's powerful, I wonder which layer of the Jieyun realm Lei Tian is at."

  "Blood Yang Devil Fire!" The Black Water Young Master shouted in a shrill voice, his feet stomping on the skull wind fire wheel which spun rapidly, green flames spreading out and boiling over, burning fiercely, gathering in front of him into a ten-zhang high wall of flame.

  A green flame wall, a majestic flame, a fierce and sinister face appeared on the flame wall, as if it was about to break free. A long, sharp-toothed mouth suddenly opened wide, letting out a loud roar, swallowing everything in its path, including the light arrow.

  Rumble!

  The light arrow exploded, forming countless golden light spots. The Shura's face was stretched open, twisted and deformed. The explosive force rumbled in the Shura's mouth, and the entire wall of flames began to twist and shake. The surrounding seawater churned like boiling water, with waves crashing against the shore and deafening thunder.

  Ashura's face was stretched to its limits, Lei Tian's eyes were piercing, with a divine light that could melt gold and iron.

  Hei Shui Gongzi's face turned ugly time and again, it was clear that his strength was far inferior to Lei Tian's.

  Boom!

  Asura's face, along with the firewall, exploded together, palm-sized fragments, countless pieces, scattered across the sky and sea, countless hurricanes, enough to tear cows and horses into pieces.

  Qin Yi's body was strong and resilient, with each blow of the fierce wind cutting to his true energy on the surface, producing a crisp sound like metal striking stone, with sparks flying everywhere.

  This scene also shocked Qin Yi, fortunately Wu Peng and Zhao Jing Sheng were not in the range of this explosion, otherwise wouldn't they have been blown to pieces long ago!

  Qin Yiwang gazed at Lei Tian, a complex expression flashing in his eyes: "This guy, didn't even consider our lives and safety!"

  Affected by the explosion shockwave, seawater sank into a large pit with a diameter of tens of zhangs, and surrounding seawater poured in, making loud noises.

  Hei Shui Gongzi's face turned extremely ugly, and he retreated over a dozen steps, clutching his chest and panting heavily.

  Lei Tian stood in mid-air, motionless like a mountain peak, with wave after wave of oppressive force, layer upon layer, making the surrounding air seem to stop flowing.

  Taking advantage of the standoff between Lei Tian and Hei Shui Gongzi, Qin Yi quickly rushed to his brothers' side.

  When Qin Yi arrived, Wu Peng and others quickly surrounded him.

  Seeing that everyone was unharmed, Qin Yi's heart slightly put down and asked: "What is the identity of this Lei Tian?"

  "He is a strong second on the Earthquake Rankings, roughly on the same level as Luo Xue's sister." Zeng Xuan introduced.

  "Lei Tian is known as the most promising person to shake Luo Lian's ranking in this year's Earthquake Ranking. He unfortunately lost to Luo Lian in last year's Earthquake Ranking finals and came in second. Afterwards, he spent almost a year traveling outside, gaining experience and encountering something extraordinary - that Scarlet Void Bow, which is said to be a top-grade treasure from the Heavenly Artifacts, was obtained by Lei Tian during his encounter." Wu Peng added.

  As soon as Wu Peng's voice fell, a loud shout suddenly came from mid-air: "So it was you who had been luring us here all along!"

  "I and the Extreme Bliss Path felt a strong power, constantly penetrating into the Misty Bay. After observing, we saw that it was actually a team composed of students from the Heavenly Sacred Academy, which had gathered two thousand fish people to come here. I didn't expect this team to be just bait, and behind them was you!" The Black Water Young Master said hatefully, "So you've been plotting against us all along."

  "I won't use them as bait, can I lure you and the Extreme Bliss Sect out? " Lei Tianling stood in mid-air, his gaze lightly sweeping over Hei Shui Gongzi. "You can't escape today. A year ago, I had already entered the Soul Burial Realm, while you are a whole realm lower than me. Surrender obediently to death and you might be able to avoid some suffering."

  The conversation between the two, because they were relatively far apart, Wu Peng and others did not hear clearly, but Qin Yi's perception was far beyond that of ordinary people. The conversation between Lei Tian and Heishui Gongzi almost fell into his ears without a single word being missed.

  "This Lei Tian has been using us as bait all along!" Qin Yi gritted his teeth, "Using our lives to lure out Hei Shui Gongzi and Ji Le Dao Ren. I said why so many fish people surrounded us, it turns out they were all brought here by Lei Tian. If it wasn't for me holding on desperately today, the five of us would have been dead long ago. He must have been lurking nearby before, waiting for the right moment to reveal himself!"

  Qin Yi could even think that, on their way into the Misty Bay, Lei Tian had been intentionally leaving behind subtle clues, allowing the Fish People and Hei Shui Gongzi, Ji Le Dao Ren to discover and track down the five of them.

  When the Fisherman and the Black Water Boy, as well as the Taoist of Extreme Joy, all appear and fight each other to a stalemate, he appears again, kills people and steals treasures, monopolizing the credit!

  Using your own comrades' lives as bait and taking all the benefits for yourself, this kind of heart is truly despicable to the extreme!
