Chapter 837: AGM 837 - Who Kills Whom

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian wasn’t willing to waste time in slaughter. He came here with a clear purpose, and that is to accomplish the mission given to him by the Heavenly Talisman Realm.

During such an exercise, choosing to upgrade his strength was Qin Wentian’s priority.

Within the Eastern Sage Cliff, he had comprehended a lot and acquired quite a few innate techniques and arts. Especially for the immortal statue which he gained insights from at the end, it was the inheritance of an immortal king, an extremely profound battle art. He had managed to reach level three of that battle art, and the might could only be described as terrifying to the extreme.

This time around in the Sage Devil Gorge, there was no good fortune to be found. Hence, he would rather focus on digesting the insights he gained earlier. If there were disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect who wanted his life, they better be prepared to pay with their lives.

Qin Wentian left the corpse on the ground precisely to threaten the others - Do not disturb me.

However Qin Wentian’s judgement was off. After a period of time, two disciples in faint-golden robes came here. And upon seeing the corpse of their fellow sect member, the cold intent in their eyes when they stared at Qin Wentian, grew even colder. However, the reason was because they were from the same sect and had very deep relations with each other.

There were countless disciples within the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, and every disciple was in fact, competing against each other for guidance from the elders as well as cultivation resources. Competition was extremely intense.

But when they saw the corpse of a member of their sect lying on the ground, used by Qin Wentian as a form of threat, the killing intent from them instantly gushed forth.

"HOW DARE YOU!" One of the experts coldly yelled. His eyes were glacial, piercing towards Qin Wentian. As for the other one, his expression turned sinister and was prepared to begin a slaughter.

Qin Wentian halted his cultivation and opened his eyes, staring at these two who just arrived.

"You have not even officially joined the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, yet you dared to use the corpse of an official disciple to threaten us? Are you not afraid to die without a burial ground?" That person continued. Qin Wentian stared at him and replied, "He wanted to kill me. Don’t tell me after killing him I still have to dig out a grave nicely to settle his corpse?"

"Insolence! You are purposely humiliating disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. But no matter what, you will surely die here. Even if the two of us can’t kill you, I guarantee you won’t be able to get out of here alive." That person raged. Since Qin Wentian could kill an external disciple, his strength was evident. Hence, he didn’t dare to say for sure that both of them would be able to kill Qin Wentian.

One among them took out a treasure as a golden ray of light shot through the skies. In an instant, several disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect glanced over as their countenances turned stiff. There were some core disciples in golden robes whose eyes flickered with sharpness as they stared at the golden ray of light flashing through the skies.

This was a signal to gather disciples, and the purpose was to gather golden-robed core disciples.

Many turned their gazes over, some of them were able to see a pinpoint of light there and instantly understood that the target there had the same level of cultivation as their own. A moment later, the silhouettes of these people flickered as they sped over.

At the same time, there were some participants who had strange looks on their faces when they noticed the commotion. There were people in the surroundings who sped in that direction as well.

Qin Wentian was as calm as ever. He stared at the golden ray of light and icily swept his gaze over to that person. However, he took no action, merely staring at that person. Qin Wentian wasn’t in a rush at all.

Regardless of external or core disciples who were at the same level as him of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, he felt no fear at all. His mission here was to acquire one of the top three ranks to indicate that he has talent equivalent to or greater than a Sage Child. Sage Children are disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and enjoy an extremely high status in the sect. Qin Wentian was going to stand side by side with them, how could he be bothered about these external or core disciples?

He had no fear of anyone at the same level. Unless they grouped together and attacked him with vastly superior numbers.

The two disciples who just arrived didn’t act as well. They merely stood there and stared at Qin Wentian, as though monitoring his actions, not allowing him to flee. However they didn’t know that if Qin Wentian really wanted to leave, how could the likes of them restrain him?

After sometime, two more external disciples arrived. Upon seeing the corpse on the ground, they instantly understood what was going on. Their countenance turned ice-cold as they spoke, "You have not officially joined the sect, yet you are already so audacious. Truly, your insolence makes us speechless."

Qin Wentian was somewhat puzzled as he stared at the disciples who arrived one after another. He frowned, this was supposed to be an exercise of blood and the mission of these disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect were to kill him. Yet right now, they actually said that his actions were audacious and insolent?

Could it be that in the eyes of these people, hunting these participants down was right and proper but the ‘prey’ wasn’t allowed to fight back?

And could it be after these people killed him, they would give him a proper burial here?

"Ignorant fool." Another voice drifted over. Qin Wentian gazed ahead and saw a number of people in golden robes flying over. The robes of one among these five was extremely similar in design, only the hue of the golden color was much richer. This made Qin Wentian instantly understand that the status of that man in the middle was different from the disciple he killed earlier. This must be a core disciple.

Those who were clad in faint-golden robes were greater in number. They must be external disciples.

And as for those who just arrived, the one in the center exuded a powerful aura and a sense of high importance. He should be a core disciples whose higher status was clearly evident after a single glance.

"Although you are here to participate in the selection test, you have not yet officially joined our sect. Since that’s the case, you should show respect to disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Yet, you actually dared to use the corpse of one of the disciples to threaten us all? What a foolish move." That core disciple coldly spoke, his tone filled with arrogance. He already was a core disciple, there were many external disciples in the sect but how many among them could be promoted to a core disciple? It was extremely difficult.

How many heaven chosen were there from the thirteen prefectures this time around? All of them joined this because they wanted to enter the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Even becoming an external disciple was something of pride to them, and only the remaining 100+ people would be able to qualify as core disciples.

He himself, was precisely someone recognized by the sect, and is a core disciple. In addition, he had cultivated many years within the sect and had outstanding talent. Naturally, he would have the capabilities to be arrogant. For this hunting exercise, the mission given to core disciples wasn’t to slaughter participants wantonly. They could choose their opponents and if they met someone of true talent, even if they could kill him, they had to reconsider it and spare his life. Their purpose was to sift out the truly talented among the participants, this was their mission.

Only the mission given to external disciples was to hunt as many participants as they could. Because if participants were killed even by someone with the power level of an external disciple, this meant that they were trash and nothing was regrettable even if they died.

As for elite disciples, their mission was to supervise everything in the Sage Demon Gorge.

Qin Wentian stared at the person who spoke, as that person walked over. "Even if you have the talent, don’t think of leaving here alive. Your corpse will be hang on a tree, this is your punishment for daring to use a corpse of a disciple to threaten the others."

"How ridiculous." From the logic of this man, it seemed to be right and proper for Qin Wentian to be hunted. But when he killed those who wanted to kill him, he apparently just committed a heinous crime that was punishable by death. His act had even caused quite a few core disciples to come over and kill him.

"When you are dead, you would no longer think it is ridiculous." That expert continued.

Qin Wentian slowly stood up as his aura permeated the atmosphere. He stared at the people before him. The loftiness flashing through his eyes was as though he was the main character of this world.

"Sage Devil Gorge, the disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect are hunting all of us participants. This was originally already an exercise of blood. Strength is everything here, and there’s only a single path for weaklings - the path of death. If I’m weak, the corpse on the ground now would be me instead. Right now, all of you stand together to demand me to pay the price, ignoring your own statuses, believing yourself to be superior to the participants. How pretentious."

Qin Wentian swept his gaze over to everyone as he floated in the air. His eyes flickered with a blood-colored light, exuding an aura of cold arrogance.

"If you want my life just take it, don’t waste time preaching nonsense to me. But I truly want to see, how can you reap my life away, even with the five of you." Qin Wentian floated in the air, peering down with disdain at the five disciples. With an explosive sound, a battle halo manifested around him. He merely utilized the first level of the battle art and was akin to war king as his aura grew more and more terrifying.

That core disciple inclined his head and stared at Qin Wentian who was exuding an unexcelled aura in this world. He then coldly spoke, "No wonder you have the strength to kill that external disciple. But even so, there’s nothing much to be fearful about. You think too highly of yourself. Kill him."

As the sound of his voice faded, the four external disciple soared up the air as their terrifying aura gushed forth, while releasing their constellations.

"DIE!" One among them pointed his finger at Qin Wentian and momentarily, a current of blood-colored energy congregated, transforming into a tempest that directly spun towards Qin Wentian. Another expert slammed out a gigantic palm imprint, blotting out the sun. And there was also another expert that slashed out a saber strike, cleaving through the void. For the last of the four, his constellation was a control-type. Devilish vines appeared en masse around Qin Wentian as they started to claw towards his body.

The combination attacks of these four fellow sect members, how tyrannical was the might unleashed? It wasn’t a simple 4x of their attacking strength. They could work together in marvelous ways, integrating their techniques together causing their opponents not to even have a chance to flee. Despite their opponents being much stronger than the four of them, they could still kill him in a single strike once they combined their strength.

Qin Wentian was buried underneath an avalanche of attacks. If his strength was merely a tier higher compared to the four individuals, he would definitely be a dead man now. That core disciple had a mocking smile on his face. This man had grossly underestimated the disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. This strike was sufficient to claim his life.

"BOOM!"

At this moment, a rumbling bell chime echoed out. After which, the bell chimes resounded endlessly, shaking the heavens and earth. The eyes of the core disciple turned over only to see a resplendent ray of violet-gold light shoot out. The thunderous booming sounds continued, and the attack energy of the four disciples was instantly destroyed as they retreated with explosive speed. In fact, they were even injured by the force of the impact.

In just an instant, the situation was reversed. Qin Wentian stood in the air, emitting a towering battle might. Blood-red light flashed, and an incomparably resplendent violet-gold constellation appeared behind him. He was like a supreme king when he swept his gaze over. That noble aura caused fear to appear in the hearts of those who stared at him.

"Mere disciples of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect wanting to kill me? Even if you all didn’t want to kill me, how would any of you be qualified enough to make me have fear and reverence in my heart?"

Qin Wentian stared at the core disciple below. After which he stepped out as his palms expanded, blasting towards his opponents with the power to seize the moon and stars. The four external disciples retreated rapidly but to no avail, the giant palm imprint directly smashed down and with a deafening boom, one of the four directly exploded underneath the might, and died on the spot.

"Since you all want my life, you all best be prepared to leave your lives behind." Qin Wentian spoke in a domineering tone before he soared up in the air once more, his words causing their hearts to tremble with terror!
