Chapter 59: Waiting for Death Saplessly (1)

Translator: Sissy That Walk

The winding, wave-like mountains encircled the whole of the battlefield.

Everything within the radius of hundred miles had been completely decimated in the duel between these two prominent figures, except for a few treasures along with other wreckages remained on the ground. Many monsters and cultivators were wiped out, traceless. Only the cores of those monsters above level seven and the bones of those cultivators above Gold Core remained.

As such, this place surrounded by mountains became a death valley.

Luo Jianqing had guessed that this was a very mysterious place in Wan Shou Peak, because no monster above level eight could enter Wan Shou Peak. However, there were a dead monster above level eight and a level-nine Gold Sun Heaven Live Flood Dragon.

After he was awake, Luo Jianqing quickly took refuge behind a pile of sandstone and quietly observed the battle from a distance.

The level-nine Gold Sun Heaven Live Flood Dragon was equal to a cultivator of Tribulation Passage Period and very powerful as well. Although Luo Jianqing had never seen any Godlike Pill of level nine before, after seeing their battle neck to neck, he could figure out that it’s cultivation level was about Tribulation Passage Period

At the beginning, the flood dragon fought with the pill in the form of human, but after a while, it revealed its original form. It was a long golden flood dragon with two long horns and four claws, covered with flakes which were shining like the sun.

When it swayed its long tail, it immediately caused a gust of whirlwind whizzing towards the pill.

The pill was very calm. He put down his zither, placed it right before him and played the strings. With a slight move of his finger, a terrible sound wave suddenly thrusted towards the whirlwind, which exploded loudly the moment they crashed into each other. When the wave approached Luo Jianqing, it scared the hell out of him even though they are 20 miles apart.

Luo Jianqing immediately took out the blue bamboo umbrella to cover his head.

With the protection of the umbrella, Luo Jianqing let out a sound of relief and began to watch the horrible battle.

The shape of the golden flood dragon was like a lightning, sometimes rushing into the sky and sometimes hovering in a circle. Every movement of the flood dragon was causing fierce wind which formed Gale Force. On the contrary, the pill wearing light color robe were playing the zither and sat there quietly. The zither seemed very simple-designed. He played in a casual way, but the sound was echoing in the air which stopped the drifting clouds and fierce wind outside.

The rhythms repeated in a gentle way, however, the realm that the rhythms had conveyed enchanted Luo Jianqing deeply. As if he were reminded of that Xuan Lingzi was playing Yu Xiao Zither for him years ago. Back then, there was also some fantastic realm in his playing.

Although Xuan Lingzi was far better than this pill in playing, Luo Jianqing could still perceive the elusive realm in pill’s playing. It was a kind of realm that has seen through the world. When the zither was played in variation, it sounded like a weeping woman and a silent lament in turn.

This was a sad song.

With the song, the pill had a hard fight with the monster.

When they flew to another battlefield far away in the sky, Luo Jianqing immediately came here to search for some treasures. He was faster than Li Xiuchen. The first thing he took away was the Core of level-eight monster, then he also took the Heaven Level Sword.

After having those two things, Luo Jianqing went on searching carefully.

Magic treasure of Earth Level? Mine! Corpse of level-seven monster? Mine!

Anything of value had been taken away.

After a while, the whole field was like a wild goose which was plucked off all the feathers. Except some worthless stones and branches, the rest were all tucked into the interspatial ring of Luo Jianqing.

Looking at this dead ground, Luo Jianqing sighed and then burned the body of the dead cultivator of Nascent Soul, together with the other three of Golden Core cultivators. After that, he took away their ashes as he planned to set an anonymous tombstone for them somewhere else after he left.

Then, for the bodies of those strange monsters, Luo Jianqing chose a simple way to deal with them.

With a wave of hand, everything was burned!

With everything done, Luo Jianqing began to look around for Li Xiuchen. After a quarter of an hour, he found Li lying unconsciously under a huge stone. The moment he saw Li Xiuchen, he twitched his lips out of jealousy because Li was so lucky to be safe.

He and Li Xiuchen were both blown here by a gust of wind. He was dropped on the ground casually. Fortunately, he woke up in time, otherwise he might be directly killed in the battle between the monster and the pill. What about Li Xiuchen? He was sleeping under a thousand years old Zhong Qi Stone!

Zhong Qi Stone was a kind of spiritual stone and a superior material for refining. It featured for its concealment and hardness, the so-called turtle shell. It was hard to find it even for an alchemist, because there was no other special feature on its appearance, except for the hardness. It seemed like any normal stones you could find. Because under the cover of this stone, Li Xiuchen did not get killed by the aftermath of the battle this time, otherwise Luo Jianqing couldn’t be able to find it.

Seeing such a huge stone, Luo Jianqing gradually put on a smile on his face.

Giving this stone to the sixth brother for refining would be perfect.

Li Xiuchen, who was still asleep, turned over and seemed to agree with him.

This stone could temporarily protect Li Xiuchen from the harm after all, so Luo Jianqing did not take it away immediately. He hid away and kept an eye on Li Xiuchen. At this moment, Luo Jianqing could hardly see the fighting in the sky, but he still waited patiently, because he knew that without Li Xiuchen, he could never find the pill.

As time went by, Luo Jianqing was getting stiffened and paid close attention all the time.

The sun was setting in the west, the moon was rising.

Li Xiuchen finally woke up when the sun was setting in the west. He firstly got stunned, then he happily rushed out of the safe area under the protection of Zhong Qi Stone, and turned around to look at the battlefield around. Then ... dumbfounded.

"WTF?! What is going on? Is it burned here? How could it be scorched like this?"

Looking at this desolate land, Li Xiuchen was totally struck dumb. After a quarter of an hour, he immediately stepped forward to search. Obviously, just like what you could see, there was nothing valuable, not to mention any magic treasures!

Li Xiuchen clenched his teeth in anger: "What happened? Is that... I have been fainted for a long while, so the monster and the pill ruined the battlefield once again and destroyed everything?!"

Upon hearing that, Luo Jianqing laughed in his heart.

Yes, this was the reason why he destroyed the battlefield. Before that, he had known that Li Xiuchen seemed to know the contents of the book Seeking Immortal, so when Li woke up, he would definitely go to find the so-called treasures.

There should be a reason that he couldn’t find anything, right?

Li Xiuchen could figure out that there was something wrong, so Luo Jianqing might expose himself.

So, if he ruined everything on this place, Li could find nothing and never knew what happened here.

Luo Jianqing did not know how Li Xiuchen could guess it right. But upon hearing his explanation, he felt it reasonable as well.

In the book, it said that Li Xiuchen was the disciple of Xuan Lingzi and instructed by him. Although he was at level nine of Qi Refining, he was much better than now.
