Chapter 898, Earning Respect

Translator: Silavin

 

Finally, under countless watching gazes, the sacred light storm within the barrier gradually weakened. One gaze after another remained motionless, watching the very centre of that storm.

 

As the dust receded, a massive crater appeared within the barrier. Then, countless pupils suddenly constricted.

 

There was actually a figure standing at the edge of this crater!

 

As the sacred light storm dispersed, that figure was none other than Qin Yichen.

 

At this moment, the upper garments on his body had been torn to shreds by the violent storm. Across the surface of his body, crisscrossing wounds covered him densely. Blood flowed from those wounds, dyeing him like a War God bathed in blood.

 

It was a shocking sight!

 

This appearance clearly showed that at the most critical moment, he had barely avoided the core of that attack. But even so, the aftershock of that offensive had caused him considerable injury.

 

“Such a powerful Physique…” On the high platform, surprise flashed through the Sacred Martial City Envoy’s eyes. Then, the interest in his gaze grew even richer.

 

“Right now, in my eyes you’re no different from an ant!” Following Ling Tuyai’s mocking laugh, the Azure Wave Sacred Sword trembled slightly, and nearly a hundred sword lights appeared around it.

 

Each sword light contained extremely formidable Yuan Energy fluctuations. Those fluctuations were in no way inferior to that stunning strike from before!

 

Seeing this scene, the Brilliant Sky Sacred Land Disciples outside the barrier all had deathly pale faces. Although Qin Yichen was monstrously talented, how could someone at the Mid Stage Martial Emperor Realm contend with the might of the Azure Wave Sacred Sword ?

 

“Being able to persist to this step, he’s already done his utmost!”

 

Even in the sky above, countless people from various Forces watching the spectacle did not ridicule Qin Yichen. Being able to persist to this point has truly earned the recognition of countless people.

 

However, this recognition could not change the outcome of this battle or Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s fate.

 

“Die!” Ling Tuyai’s gaze was cold. He shouted, and with a movement of the Azure Wave Sacred Sword in his hand, those hundred-plus sword lights whistled forth, surging mightily toward Qin Yichen.

 

*Whoosh!* Facing such a terrifying offensive, even Qin Yichen did not dare meet it head-on. He could only raise his speed to the extreme, temporarily avoiding the attack.

 

*Boom!*

 

However, even with his full effort to evade, he was still struck by considerable aftershock. Fresh blood splattered from his body, and his aura began to weaken somewhat.

 

*Boom!*

 

When evading another sword light, Qin Yichen’s form was directly knocked to the ground, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth.

 

“Hehe, why don’t you hurry up? This speed is far too slow!” However, when he fell to the ground, the sky full of sword lights unexpectedly did not directly blast him to pieces. Instead, behind him, Ling Tuyai’s cold voice carried a mocking tone as it rang out.

 

Qin Yichen’s expression turned cold. He casually threw two Healing Pills into his mouth, and his form retreated explosively again.

 

*Whoosh!* Immediately after, another series of terrifyingly fast sword lights shot toward him.

 

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

 

Time and again, narrowly avoiding the central attacks of the sword lights, time and again being struck by aftershocks until he vomited blood and fell, then immediately got up and fled once more.

 

This appearance was extremely pathetic. However, even though he had completely fallen into a disadvantage with life and death uncertain, Qin Yichen’s face still brimmed with coldness and killing intent, without a trace of fear or retreat!

 

“Senior Brother Qin…”

 

“Forget it, Senior Brother Qin, you’ve already done your best!”

 

The Disciples of Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, watching that extremely bedraggled figure, felt their noses sting. Some female Disciples even had reddened eyes.

 

Everyone knew that Qin Yichen persisted like this for Brilliant Sky Sacred Land not to be replaced!

 

Otherwise, with his strength, although he could not claim victory, he still had time to admit defeat!

 

In the sky above, countless experts from observing Forces did not speak again, but in their eyes, there was more or less a trace of admiration.

 

Regardless of victory or defeat, Qin Yichen’s tenacious and persistent spirit was worthy of their respect.

 

If placed in other Sacred Lands, it was not hard to imagine that Qin Yichen would definitely grow into a titan that would one day be its pillar!

 

It was just that the place he belonged to was Brilliant Sky Sacred Land.

 

Perhaps, he would be like Yu Wenyu who once shocked the Sacred Lands, like a meteor, brilliant yet brief.

 

Perhaps, this was Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s fate…

 

Within the barrier, craters pockmarked the surface of the platform. Countless cracks had almost torn the entire ground apart.

 

Yet, Qin Yichen’s body stood upon a protruding pile of rubble. At this moment, his entire body was bathed in blood, appearing incomparably wretched. His palms trembled somewhat as he wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth, and two Pills were directly stuffed into his mouth.

 

Then, in his eyes, a trace of madness emerged.

 

“I wanted to use your Momentum to break through to the Late Stage Martial Emperor Realm, but you refuse to attack with full force! Toying with me like a mouse! Since that’s the case, let’s see who toys with whom!” A fierce expression emerged at the corner of Qin Yichen’s mouth.

 

In the devastated barrier, Qin Yichen’s body stood upon the rubble, completely motionless, no longer fleeing.

 

“Has he been exhausted to the point of hallucination?” Countless powerhouses sighed lightly in their hearts, their gazes carrying some regret.

 

The Brilliant Sky Sacred Master’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the palm within his sleeve also clenched tightly.

 

“If you disregard the rules again, I will consider this a provocation against Sacred Martial City!” Just as he prepared to pull Qin Yichen out from the barrier at any moment, the Sacred Martial City Envoy’s somewhat angry voice also rang out.

 

Hearing this, the Brilliant Sky Sacred Master’s body stiffened, and fear flashed across his face.

 

Provoking Sacred Martial City, this had happened once several thousand years ago. At that time, that Sacred Land’s strength was about the same as Radiance Sacred Land’s.

 

However, after the big figure behind Sacred Martial City took action, that Sacred Land nearly perished completely. In the end, someone pleaded for mercy, which barely preserved some of its inheritance. But that Force had declined from then on and was eventually swallowed up by other Forces.

 

“Hehe…” In Ling Fei’s eyes, a mocking expression flashed past.

 

Originally worried that Ling Tuyai’s toying would ruin things, but now the Brilliant Sky Sacred Master’s hands were tied. That Qin Yichen had only one fate, death.

 

Toying him to death would also help Sky Cliff Pavilion secure its future position!

 

“Seems you no longer have the strength to flee.” In mid-air, Ling Tuyai’s gaze was cold as he looked at the bedraggled Qin Yichen, chuckling. “But don’t worry, I’ll first sever your limbs, then slowly let you die…”

 

As his words fell, four sword lights whistled forth, carrying terrifyingly extreme might, roaring toward Qin Yichen.

 

Outside the barrier, countless Brilliant Sky Sacred Land Disciples could not bear to watch and averted their gazes, their faces deathly pale.
