Chapter 1920 – Beigong Ao, Full of Ambition
This opportunity of the Great Path disappeared just like that, and now, no one else would have the chance to receive it.
This also meant that Ye Futian had already inherited this opportunity of the Great Path and was in complete control of it. It was precisely because of the existence of such a genius talent that the opportunity of the Great Path now belonged to just one person, and no one else would benefit from it.
How heartless!
Those cultivators would have nowhere to cultivate now. The opportunity of the Great Path disappeared, and there was no more chance to comprehend this Vajra Demon-slaying Rhythm.
Shangguan Qiuye looked at the disappearing cliff and felt somewhat lost because it was gone… She had already gotten herself to a good place where she was able to comprehend this cliff’s Great Path gradually. But this was also when Ye Futian had comprehended the opportunity of the Great Path and absorbed all the notes so that none was left.
In the future, there would be no such opportunity.
Even if they come again, the opportunity would be no more.
“Monopolizing the opportunity of the Great Path all by yourself; amazing.” A voice was heard, and the speaker was Yun Zhe, who had not left. He stood in the void and watched all this taking place quietly. He only spoke when he saw that Ye Futian had made the cliff disappear.
Behind Ye Futian, Beigong Ao and the others turned and saw Yun Zhe, with his arms folded before him, watching all this with great interest.
The cliff was gone. Ye Futian had comprehended the opportunity of the Great Path, but it also meant that he no longer had the cliff as a buffer, and he could no longer use its power, so…
When his thought turned to this, he turned his head to glance at a direction in the distance. Sure enough, Jun Qiuyan and the others who had retreated to the distance were now moving forward. They were waiting for a time like this to kill Ye Futian. How could they miss a chance like this?
Without the cliff as a shelter, Ye Futian would undoubtedly die.
A mighty coercion covered them. Its oppressive power was extremely terrifying. Those around Ye Futian frowned, sensing that something was not quite right.
Previously when Ye Futian made the two attempts to kill the enemy, once was with the Sword Will of the sword mountain. Once with the help of the cliff, he had leveraged external forces both times, the opportunity of the Great Path from Eastern Deity Island itself. Now, there were no more external forces to be had, and the enemy had quite a powerful makeup, far surpassing theirs. There could be trouble afoot.
With the cliff gone, and none of the people here knew Ye Futian from before and shared no common interest with him, they would not have any animosity toward Jun Qiuyan as before. It was even possible that they might be displeased with Ye Futian because of the destruction of the cliff.
This time, everyone else would probably not interfere.
Soon, Jun Qiuyan came to the side and surveyed the crowd. He saw that Ye Futian still had his back turned to him as if he continued to absorb the notes of the Great Path that he had swallowed before.
Jun Qiuyan’s eyes were icy and indifferent. He said coldly, “You impeded me because you wanted to use his comprehension to cultivate. How did that work out for you now?”
Everyone was speechless, and they had mixed feelings. They did want to use Ye Futian’s power for their own comprehension, and they did benefit from it. But now, everything had turned to dust, and their hopes were dashed.
But could this matter be blamed solely on Ye Futian?
He had extraordinary and unparalleled comprehension that surpassed everyone else, which allowed him to thoroughly comprehended the Vajra Demon-slaying Rhythm of the Great Path that was left on the cliff, absorbing its power and seizing the opportunity. What more could they say about this?
Even if there were discontent in their hearts, everything was a foregone conclusion now that could not be changed, and Ye Futian would not be restoring the cliff for them.
Jun Qiuyan saw that every one of them was silent as his eyes passed over them. Finally, they landed on Ye Futian and his people, including Beigong Ao and the others; his eyes showed a cold murderous intent.
Now, who else could protect Ye Futian?
He looked at Shangguan Qiuye, who was not far away, and saw that Shangguan Qiuye was also looking at Ye Futian, and asked through voice transmission, “Do you need help?”
She was still willing to help Ye Futian, who had always been extremely passive in their interactions. Even at a time like this, as long as he was willing to bow.
This arrogant and proud man who had categorically rejected her before; what about now?
Ye Futian was silent. He seemed to be still cultivating, and streaming light of the Great Path flowed round him.
Silence?
Shangguan Qiuye thought, It seems this proud man doesn’t want to ask for help, even at a time like this.
But when she thought of his refusal before, Shangguan Qiuye said again, through voice transmission, “If you need help, you can nod, and I will help you.”
She didn’t want to believe that Ye Futian would not relent.
Ye Futian still did not respond. Clearly, he had heard her, but Shangguan Qiuye’s tone was akin to solicitation. She seemed to ask him to beg for her help. This was probably because she was rejected before and now wanted a chance to win back some dignity.
It seemed that this empress of the Shangguan clan was still willful.
The streaming light of the Great Path flowed about him and submerged inside his body. Ye Futian slowly turned around and cast a glance at Shangguan Qiuye, and transmitted his sound to her in response, “No need.”
“…”
Shangguan Qiuye was taken aback for a moment. Her beautiful eyes blinked once as she was looking at Ye Futian. There was a slight change in her eyes; this jerk.
“Without the power of the cliff, how would you deal with the cultivators of the Jun family? Your people were not at the same level as theirs, not to mention Yun Zhe was still watching on the side. Do you really think you can get away?” Shangguan Qiuye said coldly.
Ye Futian gave her an odd look and a sideways glance.
What’s the matter with this woman?
She wanted so much for him to ask her for help?
“Don’t bother.” Ye Futian responded flatly and rendered Shangguan Qiuye completely speechless. Anger even flashed across her beautiful eyes. She saw that Ye Futian’s talent was extraordinary and couldn’t bear to see him perish here, so she decided to lend a helping hand while recruiting a friend with an outstanding talent for the Shangguan clan.
But she never expected that Ye Futian would completely ignore her kind intentions, not even paying any attention to her.
“I guess I am overly concerned,” Shangguan Qiuye replied coldly. She didn’t bother speaking again; she planned to watch as a bystander.
She wanted to see how Ye Futian would resolve this situation.
Facing Jun Qiuyan’s murderous intent, how could he contend with it?
Ye Futian walked a few steps forward, raised his head to look into the void ahead, and saw that the Renhuang cultivators brought over by Jun Qiuyan were standing in a mighty line. The Great Path’s oppressive power enveloped the boundless void so that this space is suffocated with its pressure of Might.
The cultivators from before had all withdrawn from this space. Soon, only Ye Futian and a few others were left facing such a powerful enemy.
Not far behind Ye Futian and the others, an angry Shangguan Qiuye also took her people to some distance away. She was going to watch and see how this proud fellow planned to deal with Jun Qiuyan.
Ye Futian raised his head to looked at Jun Qiuyan, only to be met by his icy stare full of strong intent to kill. He was looking down at him and said coldly, “You finished cultivating?”
“Mmm,” Ye Futian nodded. After his arrival, Jun Qiuyan did not rush to make a move but waited for him to finish his cultivation.
“Now that the cliff is destroyed and there are no more external forces for you to borrow, what do you think about that?” Jun Qiuyan asked again.
“Do I need to use external forces to kill the likes of you?” Ye Futian replied.
Jun Qiuyan’s eyes focused on Ye Futian. He did not have anyone protecting him at the moment so that Ye Futian could kill him, even without any external forces.
His eyes were icy cold as he ignored Ye Futian’s words and continued, “Since you made your move that day, you are destined never to leave the Penglai Continent alive. Before, you were lucky. Now, what’s your plan to survive?”
Ye Futian didn’t speak, and the aura of Great Path flowed through his body. Between the heaven and the earth, Sounds of Buddha were heard, which turned into invisible fluctuations of rhythm. On his body, a Vajra Buddha seemed to have appeared, with angry eyes, suppressive and overpowering.
The body slowly levitated into the air, and a mighty aura bloomed from it. Underneath the Light of Buddha, there was also a terrifying and sharp aura, which was an indestructible Swordsmanship.
“It seems that you don’t plan to survive at all.” Jun Qiuyan said coldly, “Kill.”
When the voice fell, the cultivators who had lined up around him unleashed a mighty pressure of the Great Path at the same time, which flooded toward Ye Futian. In an instant, the Great Path filled the space with an undeniable presence.
However, at the same time, the Sound of Buddha continued to linger and resound between heavens and earth, causing the cultivators to frown. Some Middle Renhuang felt that they were under very strong pressure, which oppressed their spiritual souls. Jun Qiuyan backed up when he felt that pressure, while a cultivator of the eighth realm guarded in front of him against any sudden attack from Ye Futian.
“Senior Beigong, much obliged,” said Ye Futian, and Beigong Ao nodded in acknowledgment. From where he stood in the air, the mighty power of thunder erupted. Standing there in front of Ye Futian, the body of the thunder god shrouded him, and he was unstoppable.
Emperor Helian was guarding Xia Qingyuan and the others. Ye Futian turned to look at Shangguan Qiuye, who was not far away, and said, “If you want to help, take care of them for me.”
Although Emperor Helian was guarding them, Ye Futian still worried that the opponents would attack Xia Qingyuan and the others no matter the cost, hence his request to Shangguan Qiuye.
Shangguan Qiuye was taken aback. Ye Futian meant to deal with all these Renhuang just by himself and Beigong Ao?
Was this guy crazy?
And, was this the attitude of asking someone for help?
Shangguan Qiuye looked at Ye Futian coldly and saw that he had already turned around, so she replied, “Fine…”
As soon as she replied, she was immediately upset with herself; why did she agree so easily to do his bidding?
Perhaps, she wanted to see how Ye Futian would deal with Jun Qiuyan and the other Renhuang with just two people.
Boom… The power of a thousand punishments converged and turned into a thunderous calamity. Thousands of thunderous lightning came down from the sky and swept out. Beigong Ao of the Eight Realm now stood proudly in the air, arrogantly and forceful. He had never been in a battle quite like this.
Ye Futian asked him to participate, for the two of them to fight against multiple Renhuang, and he agreed, seemingly to trust Ye Futian blindly. At the same time, he had always been cautious while conducting business outside and never had a moment like this.
Today, he would completely throw cautions to the wind.
When his thought turned to this, he gave out a shout with great pride and passion. But at this moment, the Sound of Buddha lingered, and a terrifying sound wave swept out. An ancient Vajra Buddha appeared above the sky, and the anger from the Buddha emitted an invisible rhythm that rendered the space completely quiet. Ye Futian took the initiative and made his move first, which stunned Beigong Ao, who was fully prepared to launch his own attack.
In the next moment, many Renhuang were slaughtered while they vomited blood and fell from the sky as if they couldn’t bear even one strike.
“This…”
Beigong Ao looked at this sight speechlessly, a little confused. Shouldn’t this be his time to act?
