(PS: Today's seventh update, 80/80 in total, 5/5 for the "Unceasing Bathing" Alliance. As I said before, fight to the last moment.
A perfect end to the month of May. Thank you all!)
Compared to Xin Dongping, the devilish intent in Yuan Tian's heart was actually not as strong.
However, at this moment, the threat of death had caused his desire to live to reach an extreme.
The Martial Saint Realm allowed him to move unhindered throughout his life. As long as he did not take the initiative to trample on the mountain gates of the Holy Land level sects, few people would be able to do anything to him.
But now, this was the first time in Yuan Tian's life that he had ever set foot in a Holy Land level sect's mountain gate. This place could very well become his burial ground!
At this moment, Yuan Tian clearly felt the threat of death looming over him.
The situation forced him to make a choice.
Falling to the dark side, obtaining the hope of rebirth, or dying in Broad Creed Mountain!
Yuan Tian chose the former.
Xin Dongping was also the same as him.
The current Xin Dongping was abnormally calm, even vaguely having the feeling of a wanderer returning home, quietly welcoming this moment.
Yan Zhaoge's voice was low, "Father, eldest apprentice-uncle has perished."
Yan Di's gaze emitted a cold light as the fingers of his right hand that held the Heavenly Dragon Sabre abruptly tightened.
When Yuan Tian and Xin Dongping heard this, there was no joy on their faces. Instead, they became even more vigilant.
Gazing at Yan Zhaoge, Xin Dongping slowly shook his head, "There is no meaning in saying all this now. However, this old man's greatest mistake was not in underestimating your father Yan Di, but in not taking care of you beforehand ah."
Yan Zhaoge's gaze was cold as he met Xin Dongping's gaze, saying in an indifferent tone, "From how I see it, if I could have confirmed long ago that you were the Decimating Abyss Lord, I would have long since killed you."
Xin Dongping let out a long sigh, "There's no point in saying more."
He stared at Yan Zhaoge, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to make it today. This old man's injuries are too severe, and falling to the dark side can only barely recover from them. There is no possibility of advancing any further."
"I've always hoped to take the step of falling to the dark side and successfully enter the Saint realm, but I've always been a little short. Otherwise, if I could transcend mortality and enter sainthood today, I'd like to see if there's a chance to make up for my previous mistake."
A longbow appeared in Yan Zhaoge's hands, as well as three jet-black arrows that flickered with a faint golden light.
"Old Mongrel, just die quietly," Yan Zhaoge said coldly.
As he said this, Yan Zhaoge had already raised the Highspeed Bow within his hands.
With his current cultivation, he was still unable to fully activate the power within this mid-grade spirit artifact.
But it was enough.
Yan Zhaoge nocked two jet-black arrows on the bowstring at the same time before pulling the bow back, resembling hugging the full moon.
The bowstring sunk deep into the flesh of his fingers, the two arrowheads seemed to be aimed at the empty space around Xin Dongping and Yuan Tian.
In this world, archery was also a type of Martial Dao. The path of archery, like spear, sword, and saber, was unique.
However, this Dao was even more difficult to cultivate. It was far more difficult to achieve anything than other Martial Daos. At the same time, talent was even more important.
Yan Zhaoge's archery was still so-so, having only recently begun to train in it.
However, on such an occasion, it would be difficult for him to miss.
The Clear Qi Grand Formation circulated, forming a powerful restrictive force, trapping Xin Dongping and Yuan Tian where they were.
Yan Di's sabre-intent descended even more viciously as the two of them could only defend against it in a pathetic fashion, no longer having the leisure to pay attention to anything else.
While they had fallen to the dark side, with their earlier injuries being too severe, they were currently even more unable to stand against Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di.
However, after falling to the dark side, Xin Dongping's expression instead grew much calmer. Looking at Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di, he said mildly, "This time, it was this old man's own mistake."
"On one hand, I did not get rid of you, Yan Zhaoge, on the other, I underestimated your father."
"Dying here today, next time, we'll decide victory and defeat."
Xin Dongping looked at Yan Zhaoge, "Young man, you seem to be very familiar with the Nine Underworlds Evil Devils?"
"This old man heard about the process of you interrogating junior apprentice-brother Liu. You said that with his cultivation base, even if he fell to the dark side, he would still be unable to achieve the body of a true Devil reborn."
"Since you understand it so well, you should also know that with this old man's cultivation base, while I have yet to enter the Martial Saint realm, I still have a chance."
Xin Dongping swivelled his head to glance at Yuan Tian, "And the Devil Saint will definitely be able to achieve the body of a true Devil reborn."
Yan Zhaoge pointed his arrows at the two of them, his gaze cold.
Xin Dongping sighed emotionally, "Even Martial Saints have a limit to their lifespan. When the time comes, no one can escape it."
"Eternal life, which countless people can only dream of but are unable to attain, to this old man, I actually did not feel that it was all that pressing in the past. This old man's lifelong wish is also not like that of senior apprentice-brother Wang and junior apprentice-brother Liu."
"Living an ignoble, mediocre, mediocre life is also meaningless."
Xin Dongping said, "However, today, I have experienced some of its benefits. This old man still has regrets, not wanting to die so early. If I can be reborn from the Nine Underworlds, I will fight with Yuan Zhengfeng and you father and son once more."
Yan Zhaoge was not in the mood to listen to Xin Dongping's words. Other than controlling the Clear Qi Grand Formation and trapping Xin Dongping and Yuan Tian where they were, his attention was currently focused on the bow and arrows in his hands.
Under the combined attacks of Yan Zhaoge wielding the Clear Qi Grand Formation and Yan Di's sabre-intent, the two were finally unable to hold on any longer.
Xin Dongping's body was completely shattered by the Clear Qi Grand Formation!
Yuan Tian was beheaded by Yan Di with a single sabre!
While the two were dead, streams of black qi circulated, dissipating into the air. They did not remain within the air of the Eight Extremities World, instead seeming to want to pass through the boundaries of dimensions, heading to an indescribable, indescribable place.
The black qi was illusory, unable to withstand force. Even Yan Di's tyrannical sabre-intent and the power of the Clear Qi Grand Formation were unable to touch it.
The two seemed to exist in two different worlds.
The silhouettes of Xin Dongping and Yuan Tian appeared amidst the black qi, the former calm, the latter resentful and furious.
Xin Dongping opened his mouth to speak, but no sound emanated from it. However, from the shape of his mouth, it could be roughly made out that what he was saying was, 'until we meet again.'
Seeing this scene, Yan Di knit his brows tightly, anger appearing on his face.
"Xin Dongping, you Transcending Mortality, Yuan Tian entering Sainthood, the two of you falling completely to the dark side. Whether or not you can be reborn from the Nine Underworlds, I am clear on that."
Yan Zhaoge finally shifted his gaze from the bow and arrows in his hands to Xin Dongping.
His current expression resembled the descent of calamitous clouds, cold and gloomy. However, his eyes seemed to be blazing with great flames that surged to the heavens.
"However, you are not clear on what you are facing."
Yan Zhaoge enunciated each word very clearly, "Bow, named Highspeed, a mid-grade spirit grade artifact. It is not important, and can be ignored."
"Arrow, named Devil Shattering."
Xin Dongping and Yuan Tian were stunned.
Having said thus, Yan Zhaoge released his fingers.
A golden light flickered, and the black arrow suddenly vanished!
The previous moment, on the bowstring of Highspeed.
The next moment, it struck that black qi, struck Xin Dongping's and Yuan Tian's chests!
Xin Dongping and Yuan Tian lowered their heads, looking blankly at the small hole that had broken through on their chests.
Then, the small hole expanded unceasingly, becoming a large hole.
The large hole continued expanding.
A hole appeared at the centre of their bodies, the hole expanding unceasingly outwards, completely empty.
The area of the hole grew larger and larger, but the bodies of the two gradually disappeared, as though they had been devoured from within by the hole in their bodies.
At the end, their bodies were completely extinguished, turning into nothingness.
Even the black qi that had enveloped them seemed to have been purified.
"You!" Xin Dongping looked at Yan Zhaoge in disbelief.
Meeting his gaze, Yan Zhaoge said indifferently, "You want eternal life?"
"I will send you to eternal rest." (To be continued.)
