XLIV The Tears of the Peasant Beast

The heaven and earth was filled with killing intent as the wind and snow furiously howled. Even the pure white snow was tainted with a sinister aura, melting into bone-chilling raindrops before falling to the ground.

The two Qiongqi Manticores were besieging him, like two moving black towers in front of Yun Jiuxiang, a suffocating atmosphere enveloped him, his heart was beating fiercely, his trembling hands were holding onto the black sword, he did not know what to do, it was as if he had never been more afraid of this moment in his life, as if he had fallen into an endless cold night, a demonic hand tightly grabbed onto him, pulling him towards the abyss of death.

In the midst of the snowstorm, the two Qiongqi experts, who were "united by a common enemy", were closing in on Yun Jiu Tang. Yun Jiu Tang looked weak in front of these two massive figures.

All of a sudden, the most intense flames spewed out from the open mouth of the Qiong Qi bloodline. The huge pillar of flame rapidly descended, as if it was trying to swallow up all of the coldness and vitality within the cloud nine flower. Just as the raging flames were about to reach Yun Jiuchang, a sharp beam shot from the Dark Concealed Bow struck heavily onto the Qiong Qi. The Qiong Qi, who had received a heavy blow, tilted his head to the side. Like a string of flame, the pillar of flame was pulled away from him.

Yun Jiuchang was still in shock. He looked sideways and realized that Shen Jingyang's hidden bow had suddenly struck. They exchanged glances and smiled in their hearts. Yun Jiuchang's memories seemed to have returned to the great sea battle thirteen years ago, when his previous fifth hidden spirit was here, fighting side by side with Shen Jingyang. The two heroic youths didn't flinch in the face of the Death God.

In the next moment, another Qiong Qi who was being stimulated like a madman, also became furious. Not waiting for Shen Jingyang to react, he let out a dragon's roar, and pounced towards him with two sharp and hard claws, the dragon's roar was filled with fear, despair, and fury, the ancient and clumsy huge divine beast was like a ghost, unable to look at him in fear. It was clearly a huge ancient magical beast bathing in raging flames, destroying everything wherever it went.

The huge claws pressed down and directly pressed Shen Yushi down onto the snow, immobilizing him along with his body. Lying on the ground, Shen Jingyang's eyes were wide open as he stared at the Qiong Qi Giant Dragon's body, dumbstruck as he watched this overweeningly arrogant devil dragon dance that almost surpassed the existence of this world. He even forgot to resist, but he still relied on his instincts to fight against the surging flames.

As for the other Qiong Qi, he was struck by Shen Lianyang's Dark Bow of the Dark Ark. He spat out flames that fiercely struck the thousand-year ice layer, which was dozens of feet away. The hardened ice layer was struck by a fiendish aura of fire and fire, and "ka ka" sounds rang out as the thousand-year ice layer instantly split open.

The fierce collision between the ice and fire that had condensed for a thousand years was, on one side, scorching flames and, on the other, a layer of thousand-year ice. However, the layer of ice was ultimately unable to withstand the Qiongqi Inferno and the entire layer of ice suddenly exploded.

BOOM! The sound resounded through the world, followed by the icicles that filled the sky flying everywhere. They were like lethal hidden weapons that pierced through the sky and cut across the sky.

After the thousand-year ice layer exploded, a scroll flew out from the ice layer and landed in the snow between Yun Jiuchang and Shen Jingyang. The dilapidated scroll was spread out, vaguely revealing rows of strange characters.

At this moment, the Qiong Qi who was spewing raging flames had been struck in the head. A fierce light had been revealed, completely setting off the most primitive and most secret mode of crazy blood devouring. Within the blood-red light, two pairs of blazing eyes lit up.

"Ang …"

A deep roar came from Qiong Qi's bloody mouth. In an instant, the snow in the sea seemed to be shaking. At this moment, all the Gods were shouting together!

The Qiong Qi's huge body gave off an unbelievable cold aura. In this freezing cold weather, it seemed even colder. Its entire body was like a frozen source of frost, and within the icy mist, it came pouncing down from above.

For some reason, a strong stench of blood emanated from Yun Jiuchang's chest. He felt nauseous, and his body felt extremely exhausted.

The Qiong Qi's body instantly went from blazing flames to freezing ice, from scorching heat to extreme cold. Yun Jiutang had never seen such a strange transformation before. He searched through his memories for an explanation and description, but to no avail.

Without waiting for Yun Jiu Tang to think any further, amidst the waves of loud roars, Qiong Qi's pair of sharp claws were like two gigantic invisible black shields as they came crashing down. Qiong Qi's body turned from raging flames to layers of ice. Even Qiong Qi's dark green eyes seemed to be shrouded in a layer of extremely cold ice mist.

Under the pressure of the overwhelming ice, Yun Jiuchang's body, which seemed as hard as a bell, fell to the ground after being clawed by the ice. The face that had been cut in several streaks of blood was kneaded into the snow, as though it was about to suffocate.

The exterminating team was easily defeated. Gu Xueluo, Wang Qingchuan, and Li Zongyin were severely injured, and they were still crawling along the tunnel of Snow Beast Earth Cave. Shen Liyang was pressed down by Qiong Qi's sharp claws into the snow, as if he was a lamb waiting to be butchered on the chopping block, while Yun Jiu Tang was also knocked down by another Qiong Qi, his face also buried in the snow.

The defeat of the Bastard in the Great Sea had been decided! Shen Tianyang looked at Yun Jiuchang who was slowly moving a few meters away from him. He was looking forward to seeing him with godly help. After all, other than beasts, they should not be defeated like this.

In the snow, Yun Jiu Tang slowly lifted his face and shook off the layer of snow covering his head. The scroll that was scattered on the ground during the thousand-year ice layer caught his eyes. The lines of strange characters were like jumping spirits that stirred up his memories.

The second volume of the Sky and Earth Profound Yellow Scripture!

Yun Jiuchang no longer cared about his parched and burning throat, he suddenly shouted out. His rough voice cut through the tranquility of the snow, like a melodious singing.

Shen Yushi suddenly opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth without a sound. He simply could not believe his eyes and ears.

Looking at the words on the old scroll, Yun Jiuchang was even more certain that this was the second volume of the Sky, Earth, Profound, and Yellow Scriptures that the world had been bitterly searching for! Such a precious and rare supreme cultivator secret manual actually appeared in such a dangerous and cold place.

The second volume of the Sky and Earth Profound Yellow Scripture!

Yun Jiu Tang squatted down and got up, holding the dilapidated scroll with both of his hands as he trembled. He looked at Shen Jingyang who was pressed down to the ground by the Qiong Qi claws in panic.

"Hurry up!" What are you blanking out for! " He used too much strength, and his body that was pressed down on the ground started to twitch. Yes, the Sky, Earth, Profound, Yellow Scripture was a life-saving treasure given by the heavens. The others could not fight back anymore, and were all so fierce that no one could fight back. If they could follow the scriptures on the scroll and master the Black Heavenly Yellow Scripture, they would be able to save everyone from water and fire immediately.

"Hurry up, you idiot. What are you hesitating for!" Shen Jingyang roared once again, as if he was using up all of his strength.

That's right, everyone's fates were at stake. At this moment, only the Sky, Earth, Black Yellow Scriptures and Qiong Qi were able to compete. Thinking of Gu Xueluo's warm smile, Shen Jingyang's brotherly love, and Qing Chuan's kind thoughts … Yun Jiuchang had no reason to hesitate. At this moment, the beasts behind him roared yet again. After a low and deep roar, they were about to launch another attack. There was no time!

Yun Jiuchang sat cross-legged on the floor, both hands unfolding the remnant scroll. The entire second volume of the Sky, Earth, and Yellow Scriptures entered his vision. He closed his eyes, trying his best to get rid of all distracting thoughts in his mind. Concentrating his mind and gathering his strength, his thoughts became empty, allowing his mind to wander about …

In the shortest amount of time, Yun Jiuchang could condense the energy in his body, transform his palm shadows, and recite the scripture from mouth to mouth:

It contains alcohol and modesty, no desires and no worries. It is all hollow and plain...

It was vast and boundless, as if nature itself …

The vast and endless, and the symbol contract with Good Fortune …

It was as dark as the light, as turbid as clear, as slow and swift, as though it was at a disadvantage …

A moment later, he seemed to have realized something. The first volume of the Sky, Earth, and Yellow Scriptures, which he had previously cultivated, was now full of power. The first volume of the Sky, Earth, and Yellow Scriptures, which had been awakened, seemed to have broken through the two meridians. Even when a blizzard wrapped around the icicle and landed on his shoulder, even when a ghost-like howl floated around his ears, it did not change the fact that Yun Jiu Tang's mind was one at all. He frowned deeply, closed his eyes slightly, and recited in a low voice:

The dao of the void was quiet, yet it was also shaking as it relaxed …

Water is pure and cold, but there is a warm valley of soup spring...

Fire should be ignited, but the Cold Flame of Xiao Qiu …

The heavy type should be the heavy type, but the South China Sea has a floating rock mountain...

Things like that could not be cut down in one fell swoop … "Hahahaha!" "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

In the next moment, his veins were exposed, his breathing ragged, his body trembling slightly as he spread out his palms. Countless icicles slowly flew into his palms, roaming about in the narrow space between his palms, and then colliding continuously. The scripture recitation in Yun Jiu Tang's mouth continued to speed up:

A man who has an origin must have a pawn, and a man who has an origin must die...

Life and death come to an end, the truth is that …

The beginning must end, the sky and the earth must end …

At this moment, it was as if all the snow and wind had vanished before him, leaving him in a dangerous situation. Yun Jiuchang's expression was solemn, as if he was petrified. Suddenly, Yun Jiutang let out a long howl into the sky. With a loud piercing sound, he pierced through the sky like a bolt out of the blue. His body rose abruptly and he leapt high into the air.

The figure was like a long rainbow dancing wildly in the snow, looking down upon all the tiny creatures in the snow. Yun Jiu Tang was laughing like a madman, in the midst of the snow and wind, he began to laugh like a mysterious madman. In that instant, the weird atmosphere in the air became heavier and heavier, just like the legendary god of death descending.

The Qiong Qi began to roar. It did not allow anyone to laugh at it like this. Its eyes were burning with anger as it wiggled its neck, silently condensing all of its strength. This time, its mouth was filled with a raging fire that burned ferociously, destroying all of its power.

Yun Jiuchang had already landed firmly on the snowy ground. With a flip of his palms, layers of palm shadows emerged like the palm shadows of Rushing Thunder Hand.

"Boom!" The raging flames in Qiong Qi's mouth pressed down like mountains and seas, as if they wanted to destroy everything in their way. Yun Jiuchang struck out with both palms, a wave of power that could break through a person's body was sent out to meet the attack of the ball of fire.

'Bang! 'a thunderous sound was heard. This time, the huge ball of fire was destroyed and turned into scattered flower flames. The drifting snow instantly turned into a world of ice and fire.

Yun Jiu Tang seized the opportunity to attack and once again flipped his palms. With a dragon's roar and tiger's roar, his palms heavily smashed into Qiong Qi's head, and in that instant, a golden light akin to the mountains appeared. The Qiong Qi in his body actually flew out, and the entire ground trembled from the invisible force.

The Qiong Qi fell heavily onto the ground, panting heavily. Blood spurted out from his mouth, as he panted in a miserable manner. The entire world suddenly quieted down, only the whistling of the wind and Qiong Qi's miserable cries could be heard.

Yun Jiuchang was forced back a few steps by the sheer force that was unleashed from his body. After the strange beast fell to the ground, he had to use all his might to hold himself up from falling to the ground.

At this moment, he only saw another claw stepping on Shen Jingyang's Pauper's Pauper. His huge eyes were filled with fear and confusion as he ran towards the injured Pauper, constantly letting out heavy snorts.

Shen Jingyang hurriedly crawled up from the snow. He had been pressed down for too long, and his entire body was already soaked in snow. He couldn't care less about the bone-piercing cold, "Brother Yun, the power of this Sky and Earth Profound Yellow Scripture is actually so formidable!"

Yun Jiuchang was still glaring at the two Qiong Qi cultivators, his gaze never leaving them. He saw the injured Qiongqi lying gently at the foot of the other, his eyes lingering, his breathing ragged, the pupils in his dark green eyes slowly dilating.

Seeing this, Shen Jingyang immediately conjured the Dark Concealed Bow and prepared to take advantage of this situation to attack. Yun Jiu Tang blocked it, his hand was like a wall in front of Shen Jingyang, his eyes were bleak as he shook his head and muttered, "They have no intention of resisting anymore, why would we kill them all?"

At this moment, the two Qiong Qi were snuggled together, clearly showing that the injured Qiong Qi was already dead. The other Qiong Qi stretched out his bloody mouth, but for some reason, Yun Jiu Tang did not feel any trace of fear from his gaping mouth. The other Qiong Qi stretched out his bloody mouth, but for some reason, Yun Jiu Tang did not feel any trace of fear from his gaping mouth.

In its eyes, there was no longer any fear. There were even crystal clear tears that flowed out slowly, as if it was the inexplicable sorrow of a person who had lost their love forever.

Yun Jiuchang and Shen Jingyang were already moved by the sight before them, their expressions solemn. Yun Jiuchang's thoughts flew far and wide.

At that moment, why was there no fear, only sorrow and wailing?

Although the Qiong Qi was evil, it had such sincere and touching feelings.

It looked like he had come to the wrong place. He shouldn't have entered the sea to get rid of the Qiong Qi!

At the edge between life and death, facing the separation between love and hate, how could he bear to make a move?

On the day many years ago, when he was forced to the point of suffering in agony from the Six Realms and had to atone for his crimes, would there also be an extremely sad and miserable figure by his side?

Gu Xueluo's faint smile and warmth was reflected in the vague memory of her previous self …

He closed his eyes slowly, trying not to let the tears run down.

The wind and snow howled.

It was an empty grudge.

Tears flowed from the eyes of the grieving Qiongqi, as if it was whispering about the beauty of its lover's passing.

After a long while, Yun Jiuchang turned to Shen Jingyang and said, "So, women and men who break free from their bodies are just like us. They have feelings and hate."

Shen Jingyang was also touched and said sadly, "Yes, it was extremely sad for its comrade's death, even giving up on resisting. It wanted to be fierce and bloodthirsty, but it never thought that they would also have their own feelings. This is so different from the feeling I had when I first came to kill beasts thirteen years ago …"

"We can't kill this Qiong Qi." Yun Jiuchang slowly moved forward, his gaze bleak as he looked at the wailing Qiong Qi on the ground. "They may be ferocious beasts, but they also have feelings of love and hate …"

"Then, we can't possibly leave it here. If we were to plant the seeds of hatred in this poor and strange beast, the consequences would be unimaginable. We also have no way to explain it to the Six Realms."

Yun Jiu Tang turned around to look at a black pagoda in the distance, which had been exposed after a thousand years of ice explosion, "Sunlight, do you see that Exquisite Pagoda? According to the 'Ancient Strange Spirit Record', this Exquisite Pagoda is specially used to imprison Qiong Qi beasts, and can change their sizes at will …"

Looking at the Exquisite Pagoda, Shen Jingyang immediately understood Yun Jiu Tang's inner thoughts, "If we do this, then where should we place the Exquisite Pagoda?" It can't be that you're still staying here, right? "

"Of course not, I want to bring it back to the Six Realms!"
