Chapter 708: 708

Yuci had three avatars that were split off from his main body . Each one of them was extremely weak, with only the strength of a half-step mighty figure . Since they were sufficiently weak, the negative effects they had on the main body were sufficiently small .

And this time, Qin Yun’s attack had traveled far away through karma . Even though the might decreased drastically, it was enough to kill the three avatars .

Merit even descended upon Qin Yun .

“He’s dead . ” Qin Yun said to his disciple, Bian Hanyu . “Let’s return . “

With that said, he took one step and disappeared from the Yellowbeard Great World with his disciple .

…

“Whoosh . “

A yellow-haired elder appeared in the hall of Yuci’s cave abode .

“Nicely done, Qin Yun . How dare you,” the yellow-haired elder muttered . “You crossed the void and came here to kill Yuci and left once you killed him! What a clean and straightforward kill! I asked him to spare Yuci… but he completely ignored me . Clearly, he doesn’t think anything of me . However, he can’t do a thing to me either . If he was strong enough, he would probably kill me as well . “

“Yellowbeard, you can’t even protect your subordinate?” A figure appeared out of thin air . He was none other than God King Zhurong .

The elder looked at Zhurong and said with a self-deprecating tone, “God King, you have strength at the half-step Heavenly Dao realm . That Qin Yun also has the strength of a half-step Heavenly Dao realm, but as for me… my strength is ultimately weaker . Furthermore, Qin Yun’s protective sword array is famous all over the realm . Even if I were to use all my strength, I wouldn’t be able to do a thing to him . What could I do to prevent him from killing Yuci?”

“Yes, his protective sword array is powerful . ” Zhurong nodded .

“He only has 39 years left to his tribulation . Yet, he came here to kill Yuci . He truly abhors evil as the rumors go . ” The elder chuckled oddly and said, “People like us who treat the Three Realms as a hunting ground where we hunt without any qualms are probably a sore sight to him . Besides, we have helped the Fiend Ancestor wreak havoc in the Three Realms numerous times . “

Zhurong laughed . “Your life-preservation skills make you unkillable under the Heavenly Dao realm . Although you can’t damage him at all, he can’t do a thing to you either . “

“His strength has grown a lot from when he first killed Daoist Wen . ” The elder shook his head . “I tried to stop him by taking action in secret, but I failed . “

“Of course he’s stronger,” Zhurong said . “He has been to the spatial tide twice and, ignoring the treasures he obtained, his Intrinsic Flying Sword has become a Merit Cardinal treasure . His strength has naturally increased . “

“That’s right, a huge increase in strength . ” The elder’s eyes looked gloomy .

“That’s why you should bear with it a little longer, Brother Yellowbeard,” whispered Zhurong . “Don’t forget the matter that you have agreed upon with me and the Fiend Ancestor . Now that we are at a critical juncture of this plan, you must not fight with Qin Yun who has little time left . “

Zhurong was truly afraid that this partner of his would fight Qin Yun out of embarrassment and anger .

After Qin Yun’s Intrinsic Flying Sword became a Merit Cardinal treasure, his strength turned even more unfathomable . Even Zhurong wasn’t confident in dealing with him, so he was afraid his partner would end up dying .

“Don’t worry . It will not affect the Fiend Ancestor’s grand plan,” said the elder .

“That’s good . ” Zhurong nodded and left .

…

The moment Chaos Godfiend Yuci died, many mighty figures in the Three Realms sensed it .

The death of a mighty figure was enough to shock the Three Realms .

“It’s Sword Immortal Qin . “

“Sword Immortal Qin killed Yuci . “

“Sword Immortal Qin really abhors evil . Well killed!”

Some cheered at his actions while others reeled in panic .

“What do I do? Patriarch Yellowbeard is profoundly formidable . He should have been able to protect Brother Yuci, so how did he end up being killed?”

“That Sword Immortal Qin’s Intrinsic Flying Sword has become a Merit Cardinal treasure, making him stronger . Even Patriarch Yellowbeard can’t protect his subordinates any longer . “

“Will this Sword Immortal Qin continue his slaughter? Will he kill other mighty figures?”

“It’s possible . Sword Immortal Qin is well known for his ruthlessness . Back when he killed Skyfiends, he basically shook the world with their deaths . “

“Although Brother Yuci had heavy sins, there are about ten plus Chaos Godfiends with the same level of sins . Will the rest of them also be killed by Sword Immortal Qin?”

Mighty figures felt unease .

Back when Qin Yun killed Daoist Wen, he had also killed several mighty figures with immense sin . Back then, it was enough to scare the ones with enough sin or mighty figures who lacked a strong backer . Many of them ended up changing allegiances .

Back then, Patriarch Yellowbeard was a strong enough backer .

Now…

With only 39 years left to his tribulation, Qin Yun had started his killings again .

Across the Three Realms, the number of people who could protect these sinful mighty figures were few and far between! These sinful mighty figures were also feeling great unease . They acted quickly and immediately, five switched allegiance! Some swore to turn over a new leaf by becoming a Buddhist . Some entered the Tenebrous Fiend Abyss and others pledged allegiance to other mighty figures .

…

As there was worry elsewhere, the yellow-haired elder was drinking by himself . He was in a terrible mood since Qin Yun had basically killed someone under his nose .

“Patriarch . ” A gray-robed monkey-mouthed Daoist walked in and bowed .

“What are you doing here?” The elder shot a glance at him .

“Patriarch, that Qin Yun killed Brother Yuci, completely disregarding you . I’m also furious,” the Daoist said in a deep voice . “Patriarch’s means are unique to the Three Realms . Who can do anything to you other than the Dao Ancestors and Buddhist Ancestor? Why should you suppress your anger? I believe that although Qin Yun is powerful, he still has family . Why don’t you kill a few of his family members and let him know that you should not be messed with?”

“Fool!”

The elder berated him in anger . “His family is either in a Small World, the Great Chang world, or in the Heavenly realm’s Mt . Lightning Roar . The Heavenly realm… is where even the Dao Ancestor can appear in his true form . You want me to court death?”

“No, not at all,” said the Daoist immediately . “I’m not trying to harm you, Patriarch! What I mean is that… Qin Yun still has weaknesses . His family members are his weaknesses . Find an appropriate opportunity and exact revenge on him . “

“To involve family in this is way too despicable . ” The elder shook his head .

“Patriarch, this is returning an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth . ” The gray-robed Daoist’s eyes were filled with ferocity .

“You fool, scram,” berated the yellow-haired elder .

“Yes, yes!”

The gray-robed Daoist could only take his leave obediently .

As the yellow-haired elder continued drinking alone, he recalled the sequence of events . To have Qin Yun kill one of his strongest subordinates in his territory, it was indeed quite a humiliating act . Furthermore, this matter had spread throughout the Three Realms .

“What can I do?”

“He does has weaknesses and his soft spots, but I can’t just charge into the Heavenly realm to send myself to my death . ” The elder shook his head when he suddenly froze . Gradually, his eyes lit up .

“I got it!”

The elder turned increasingly excited . “There’s no need to charge into the Heavenly realm to vent my anger! Besides… I might benefit greatly from it . “

“What a good idea . “

The more he thought about it, the happier the elder became .

******

Heavenly realm, Mt . Lightning Roar, Qin Manor .

“Master, thank you for avenging me . ” Bian Hanyu knelt down and kowtowed in utmost gratitude .

“Alright, get up,” said Qin Yun . If Bian Hanyu’s enemy wasn’t ridiculously powerful, he could have left him as a motivational factor for her . However, Yuci was a pinnacle mighty figure! Even though Qin Yun was confident in his disciple… he was not going to assume she could become a mighty figure . If the enemy was too powerful, one so powerful it would leave Bian Hanyu in despair, even she would find revenge a joke . That would no longer be motivational but become a mental demon .

Furthermore, he only had 39 years left to his tribulation . Qin Yun had no way to keep protecting his disciple, so it was best to rid her of him early .

“Yes, Master . ” Only then did Bian Hanyu get up .

“You can go to Misty Rain Tower,” said Qin Yun . “In it are the sword immortal manuals I created . You can read them as much as you want and can cultivate them . You should cultivate alone for a month . I will teach you more when you are finished . “

“Yes Master, I shall take my leave . ” Bian Hanyu was now enlivened and filled with fighting spirit . She felt that her entire life was now different .

After Bian Hanyu left, Yi Xiao said with a smile, “Brother Yun, you sure are nice to this disciple of yours . “

“She’s my only disciple in the sword immortal lineage anyway,” said Qin Yun . “I have no idea how far her cultivation can go before my tribulation . Unfortunately, time is just too short and I’m unable to teach her for long . “

“Didn’t you say that back when the Dao Ancestor took you in as a disciple, he only taught you in the beginning, but the rest was all done by yourself?” Yi Xiao said . “In comparison, you have provided your disciples enough help . “

Qin Yun laughed . “That’s true . A master can recruit them, but at the end of the day, it depends on the disciples themselves . “

“Oh?”

Qin Yun suddenly frowned . “He actually dares come?”

“Who?” Yi Xiao asked .

“Elder Yellowbeard . ” Qin Yun sneered . “However, it’s merely an avatar manifestation . Let’s go and take a look . Let’s see what this Elder Yellowbeard is up to . “

With that said, the couple walked out .

Somewhere on the mountaintop, the clouds ahead split apart as a yellow-haired elder’s illusory figure walked over .
