Chapter 668: On the Brink of Life or Death

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

The brutal and tyrannical roar reverberated throughout the Ten Thousand Flower Valley for quite some time. The foreign male martial artists were like meat on a sacrificial altar waiting to be chopped up. The miserable cries fell incessantly to the ear.

Qin Wushuang turned his ears away to not get influenced by these miserable cries. In this moment, this was the most important thing: the most important thing was to stay alive.

Although he was only about two to three thousand miles away from Jiu Fang Yunfei, clearly Qin Wushuang could not move at a rapid speed like during usual times. He could only move stealthily with one tenth of his normal speed. Maintaining his observation with the Observant Finger Jade Plate was crucial to this operation.

He must avoid any attacks from that devilish Nine Change Celestial Tiger and maintain a necessary safe distance.

Qin Wushuang knew that this Nine Change Celestial Tiger was a divine beast. Certainly, it must possess spiritual perception skills that could defy the natural order. Although this Ten Thousand Flower Valley had a span of about ten thousand miles, he was not necessarily safe.

Initially, Jiu Fang Yunfei was wandering nearby the stage that was set up for the groom invitation. He longed to see his close female friend, yet he only found a disappointing result.

Deep inside the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, roaring from the divine beast and the miserable cries of the martial artists being attacked turned the arena side into chaos.

Jiu Fang Yunfei was an intelligence person for he immediately reacted. Upon knowing that something had gone wrong, he promptly dashed towards the outside of the valley right away.

After he had dashed to the border of the mountain valley, Jiu Fang Yunfei had realized that the entire Ten Thousand Flower Valley was guarded by a locking barrier. Regardless of where he tried to dash, he could not find an exit.

Jiu Fang Yunfei came to a certain realization. When he returned to the arena scene, only the martial artists who had scattered like birds and beasts were remaining. How and where did all those female martial artists from the Emei Daoist Sect disappear to?

“I fell into a trap!” Ominous thoughts flashed across Jiu Fang Yunfei’s mind. “Could this Emei Daoist Sect have deliberately set up this contest to lure these martial artists in to take the bait?”

Jiu Fang Yunfei was extremely unwilling to accept this point, yet it was the only possibility. If it wasn’t for the Emei Daoist Sect that had set up this scene, how could the entire Ten Thousand Flower Valley be restricted all of a sudden?

Suddenly, Jiu Fang Yunfei remembered Qin Wushuang was here somewhere too and he called out for him. Without hesitation, he dashed towards the mountain valley. Now, Jiu Fang Yunfei was having the same thought as Qin Wushuang for he wanted to regroup with him.

Qin Wushuang took out the Observant Finger Jade Plate once again to lock onto Jiu Fang Yunfei’s position. Inwardly, he was greatly astonished for Jiu Fang Yunfei had not stayed at the edge of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, but was dashing towards the internal area of the valley.

If he continued to dash in this direction, most likely he would bump into that divine white tiger! Feeling anxious, Qin Wushuang could not think of a way to inform Jiu Fang Yunfei due to the malfunction of the Communication Jade Plate.

In frustration and worry he gritted his teeth and decided to speed up. He would exert all his effort to stop Jiu Fang Yunfei before he met the divine beast in the valley. There would not be any luck if he were to bump into the Nine Change Celestial Tiger.

Qin Wushuang was also pressing his luck for he initiated all his strength and was no longer moving stealthily. He traveled at a fast pace in between the valley and along the way, martial artists kept charging towards his direction.

If he were to exert all his strength to travel at a faster speed, it would not take much time for him to travel one or two thousand miles. Soon, the Observant Finger Jade Plate was within five hundred miles of his targeted area.

What made Qin Wushuang’s heartbeat speed up was that Jiu Fang Yunfei was also getting closer to the direction of the divine beast. If that beast was still chasing after other spiritual beasts along the way, even if Qin Wushuang were to exert all his efforts, most likely he would not be able to stop Jiu Fang Yunfei with enough time.

Five hundred miles, four hundred miles, three hundred miles…

One hundred miles…

Qin Wushuang fell incredibly anxious. Now, he could almost sense the Supreme Dao presence from the Nine Change Celestial Tiger.

Its presence still appeared undisguised, tyrannical, and brutal.

At this moment, Qin Wushuang was left without a choice, so he dashed at full speed. While he could sense the presence of the divine beast, he observed the direction in which Jiu Fang Yunfei was moving toward.

“Great!” As Qin Wushuang looked towards the position of Jiu Fang Yunfei, he felt joyful. It was because he discovered that Jiu Fang Yunfei had turned around and was heading towards his direction.

Qin Wushuang was overjoyed. In this case, he would have the confidence to stop Jiu Fang Yunfei ahead of the Nine Change Celestial Tiger. It seemed that Jiu Fang Yunfei had also sensed the powerful presence from the divine beast. He must have felt signs of danger ahead and started to run away.

“Roar!”

The vibrating cry of the divine beast caused Qin Wushuang’s soul and heart to feel waves of tremors. It was as if his entire soul was about to get assimilated by this roaring cry.

It was horrifying! Qin Wushuang knew that once they had entered the divine beast’s attack range, they would have no way to escape.

Fortunately, Jiu Fang Yunfei was not far away from him. Fifty to sixty miles could be achieved with a few ups and downs. Just when Qin Wushuang was celebrating this turn of events, his expression changed again when he shot a glance at the Observant Finger Jade Plate.

“No, what is he doing?” Qin Wushuang felt incredibly pressed for this Jiu Fang Yunfei had turned around again. He was showing a clear direction as though he were chasing after the divine beast.

“What is he doing? Is he going to die?” Qin Wushuang knew that if he were to walk towards that direction, Jiu Fang Yunfei would surely die.

Qin Wushuang immediately increased his speed to its limit. Finally, he saw Jiu Fang Yunfei’s figure and used his spiritual Qi to shout, “Brother Jiu Fang, don’t go there, hurry and come over here!”

Jiu Fang Yunfei turned around with an amazed look. He saw Qin Wushuang rushing in behind him with a flustered and exasperated expression as he continued charging before him like a wave of lightning.

Without speaking a second word, he pulled Jiu Fang Yunfei’s hand and shouted, “Follow me, hurry!”

Jiu Fang Yunfei actually resisted. “Brother Wushuang, let me go. I saw her, she is ahead, she went ahead!”

Qin Wushuang shouted, “Go where? Everything you see around you was caused by the Emei Daoist Sect! If you go there, you will be filling the stomach of the divine beast!”

Jiu Fang Yunfei was stunned for Qin Wushuang had already grabbed his hand to turn around to leave. Jiu Fang Yunfei was muddleheaded, but realized what he was saying was true.

Qin Wushuang was already pulling him to increase their speed at full strength. After they dashed for a few hundred miles in one breath, they finally slowed down. When he took out the Observant Finger Jade Plate to see, he felt slightly relieved.

“We got lucky, this time we were truly lucky. Brother Jiu Fang, a moment ago, we were just a breath away from the brink of life or death. If we were to have hesitated a moment longer, we would have become food for the divine beast.”

Jiu Fang Yunfei still felt somewhat confused. “How could this be? How could this be?”

Qin Wushuang briefly narrated the conversation between the two ladies he saw before and Jiu Fang Yunfei frowned. Strange lights flashed from his eyes. “Brother Wushuang, did you say one of the girls was named, Little Can?”

“Yes, she is called Little Can. It was my second time seeing her.”

“It’s truly Little Can? She is truly Little Can?” Jiu Fang Yunfei muttered and a painful expression filled his eyes. “How could it be her? Would the Emei Daoist Sect be so shameless?”

Qin Wushuang had finally understood. “Brother Jiu Fang, could it be that the close female friend of yours is also called Little Can?”

Jiu Fang Yunfei shook his head painfully. “Per your description, it’s her. There would be no doubt. A girl dressed in black cloth and a face of oval loveliness. That’s right, it’s her.”

Qin Wushuang remained silent, yet he felt rather unconcerned by this discovery. It’s truly such an unjust treatment that Brother Jiu Fang would encounter such a calamity of love.

When at the Bowl Valley, with one look he knew that Little Can was not a kind person. Qin Wushuang had first experience with her and had a bad impression of the remaining female martial artists from the Emei Daoist Sect.

Now with such matters unfolding, the more he could confirm his bad impressions of the Emei Daoist Sect. If not for the respect he wanted to show Jiu Fang Yunfei, Qin Wushuang would have swore right then and there.

How could Qin Wushuang forget how the female martial artists from the Emei Daoist Sect had tortured him in the past? One could say that each of these female martial artists from the Emei Daoist Sect had a twisted mind.

Upon seeing Qin Wushuang staying silent, Jiu Fang Yunfei already guessed to some degree as he asked with a disappointed expression, “Brother Wushuang, do you think I am not very mature?”

Qin Wushuang let out a straightforward smile. “Brother Jiu Fang, even in ancient times it was tough for a hero to surpass any challenges with love. A man can exert great fury for their loved ones. Everything is ok. Only…”

“Only what?” Jiu Fang Yunfei questioned. “Only that Little Can is not worth my time and affection, right? Not worth me thinking about her for so many years, right?”

When Qin Wushuang heard the conversation going in this direction, he did not shy away from it. “Brother Jiu Fang, the female martial artists of the Emei Daoist Sect all have hearts as malicious as snakes and scorpions. They have lured so many of these martial artists to provide food for their protecting divine beast and to urge the breakthrough of the beast. They are criminals that should be punished by death.”

Jiu Fang Yunfei became silent. Indeed, such actions would anger the gods and be resented by men. It could no longer be described by words how despicable their actions were. He gave a bitter smile and let out a long sigh. “I am to blame for having no eyes, what else can I say? Brother Wushuang, thank you for the reminder.”

Qin Wushuang also knew that it would be impossible by asking Jiu Fang Yunfei to solve this knot inside his heart. So many years of harboring these feelings, it would not be easy for him to walk welcome the truth so easily. He did not say anything, but just patted Jiu Fang Yunfei’s shoulder. “Don’t think on it too much. The most critical thing at this moment is to avoid becoming dinner for that divine beast. There will always be a day to solve other problems. This divine beast is at the Eighth Transformation Supreme Dao Stage and extremely powerful. I don’t know whether we’ll survive this day or not.”

Jiu Fang Yunfei nodded. “This Ten Thousand Flower Valley is really big, even a divine beast would not be able to search all of its corners. Right, Brother Wushuang, how did you know my position?”

This aspect did make Jiu Fang Yunfei extremely curious.

Qin Wushuang raised the Observant Finger Jade Plate from his hand. “I relied on this thing. Without it, how could I know that you were so close to that Supreme Dao divine beast? This thing can collect spiritual presences and lock onto the position of the owner. Whether we can avoid falling into the stomach of the divine beast, will all depend on this!”

Jiu Fang Yunfei was greatly surprised. “Can this thing be an Observant Finger Jade Plate?”

“Oh, you also know about it?”

Jiu Fang Yunfei said, “The master work of the legendary and famous grandmaster Lu Xiulou, how could it be in your hand?”

Jiu Fang Yunfei had been at the Illusion Heavenly Lake for many years and was unaware of the matters that were happening at the Xuan Yuan Mound. Qin Wushuang did not have the time to speak of this in detail, so he filled him in briefly.

Suddenly, he saw from the Observant Finger Jade Plate that Xin Wuji was approaching them. His expression changed slightly. “Brother Jiu Fang, hurry and go!”

“What? Is the divine beast approaching?” Jiu Fang Yunfei immediately asked.

“It’s Xin Wuji!” Qin Wushuang said coldly, “Let’s not speak anymore, but go!”

The two of them dashed at full speed towards a remote place. Now, Qin Wushuang did not wish to get tangled up with Xin Wuji. He would not be easier to deal with than the Nine Change Celestial Tiger.

This Xin Wuji would definitely not be satisfied until his destruction!
