The Nine Cauldrons

Since he was on Heavenly Rock Island, he wouldn’t be able to escape, even if he wanted to!

He could only fight!

After thinking it through, Wan Tuyou didn’t care about anything else anymore. He only focused his eyes on the only opponent——Teng Qingshan!

“Brave!” Teng Qingshan smiled and stomped the ground, dashing towards Wan Tuyou, who was at the barrier. The Dark Blaze Rod in Teng Qingshan’s hand seemed to have transformed into a black shooting star as it pierced toward Wan Tuyou’s chest!

Wan Tuyou moved nimbly as he stared at Teng Qingshan like an old hawk and blocked the rod easily with his saber.

Whew! Whew!

After a few dashes, the two arrived at the higher areas of the mountainous region. The two had the same thought, which was to go to a quiet place to fight with all their effort.

“Huhe, watch out for my Wind-Splitting Flying Hawk Saber!” Wan Tuyou laughed arrogantly and rapidly dodged with agility. The saber in his hand was like the claws of the male hawk as he pounced and struck at Teng Qingshan. Each pounce and strike caused an explosive boom that cracked the earth and brought the mountain to the brink of collapse!

The vibration of air caused by the explosion formed a spreading shockwave that affected the surrounding.

Sand and crushed rocks flew in all directions, trees snapped, and even boulders broke off the mountain and tumbled down, crashing on many of the soldiers who were fighting.

Borileimu, who was overseeing the battle, looked up and saw that Teng Qingshan and Wan Tuyou were actually on par with each other. This caused Borileimu to frown as he asked himself, “What is Brother Huhe doing? How could that Wan Tuyou block against the power of Brother Huhe’s rod that easily?”

During the blood fight, Borileimu was repeatedly struck into the air by Teng Qingshan.

Borileimu knew clearly of Teng Qingshan’s terrifying attack power.

“Whew!”

Moving like a ghost, Wan Tuyou swiftly and fiercely performed every move of his best technique, 《Wind-Splitting Flying Hawk Saber》, and the power of his moves became increasingly powerful. Wan Tuyou couldn’t help but whistle as he performed each move swiftly and satisfyingly.

When many of the Snow Hawk Hall’s soldiers guarding the checkpoint saw this, they couldn’t help but cheer.

“Brother Huhe, why are you playing with him? Why aren’t you killing him?” Standing below, Borileimu roared loudly.

“Play?” Wan Tuyou froze.

By performing the Transmutation Unity Law with only his physical strength, Teng Qingshan defended against Wan Tuyou’s attack. Hearing the shout that came from below, Teng Qingshan chuckled and said, “Wan Tuyou, your saber skills are really ordinary. No wonder you weren’t ranked top ten of the 《Heavenly Ranking》.”

Suddenly——

The power of the rod that was originally extremely strong suddenly boosted!

“Clang!” After feeling one hit, Wan Tuyou immediately sensed an extremely terrifying strength transmitting towards him. “Whew!” The saber in his hand actually flew away, and the area between his index finger and thumb cracked opened, dripping with blood!

Previously, Teng Qingshan had been performing the Transmutation Unity Law with only his physical strength, equivalent to the strength of almost eight hundred thousand Jin.

Thus, Wan Tuyou naturally fought very easily.

However——the moment Teng Qingshan began using the Internal Supreme Force, his explosive strength immediately increased around four hundred thousand Jin, reaching a terrifying strength of one million and two hundred thousand Jin! One should know that when two experts fought on par, an increase of strength by five percent could could be the last straw to crush a camel dead!

However, Teng Qingshan’s strength increased by fifty percent!

Wan Tuyou wasn’t Borileimu. Plus, he wasn’t prepared, so the saber in his hand was directly blasted away!

“No—” Wan Tuyou’s facial expression changed drastically.

“Hmph!” At the same time, the Dark Blaze Rod in Teng Qingshan’s hand turned and thrusted directly forward! Wan Tuyou, wanted to escape, but it was too late! How could the human body be faster than the thrust of a weapon?

Pu!

The Dark Blaze Rod pierced the Dantian on Wan Tuyou’s stomach. “No——” Wan Tuyou screamed and roared bitterly but the head of the Dark Blaze Rod still pierced through the glow of Innate True Origin that enveloped his body.

“Puchi!” The head pierced through his stomach, causing blood to flow out.

Since the Dark Blaze Rod pierced through his Dantian, the Dantian was obviously destroyed. All of Wan Tuyou’s cultivation was gone. “I..I——” Wan Tuyou’s courage and madness completely disappeared.

With his power gone, he didn’t even have the ability to exact revenge.

“Ah!” Wan Tuyou felt a pain on his throat and stared at the figure in front of him with a shocked and angry expression.

Seizing Wan Tuyou by his throat, Teng Qingshan pulled Wan Tuyou before him and whispered, “Wan Tuyou, did you notice that I look like someone you know?” It wasn’t Wan Tuyou’s fault that he didn’t recognize Teng Qingshan. It was because the Teng Qingshan he saw at the Great Yan Mountain had disguised himself as someone else.

“You——” Wan Tuyou’s facial expression changed drastically.

“Did you recognize my voice?” Teng Qingshan smiled.

At this moment, Teng Qingshan had changed his voice into the voice that he used when he was disguised as Qin Lang in the Great Yan Mountain.

“No! Impossible!” Wan Tuyou’s eyes widened in shock and fright. He couldn’t believe that after only half a year, the Teng Qingshan who hid behind Zhuge Yuanhong and fled throughout the world actually possessed the power to kill him!

Golden Dan innate expert! Teng Qingshan was a cultivator of Internal Martial Art, so he couldn’t be judged by the realms of the Daoist Sect. However, you could say that in terms of strength, Teng Qingshan has indeed reached the Golden Dan of the Innate Realm!

Teng Qingshan was only eighteen!

An eighteen year-old Golden Dan innate expert?

Wan Tuyou felt his heart tremble with fear. There had never been an eighteen year-old Golden Dan innate expert in the history of the land of the Nine Prefectures. “He will definitely reach the Emptiness Realm in the future! By that time, if he wants his revenge against Snow Hawk Hall.....”

The more Wan Tuyou thought, the more fear he felt.

“You are Teng——” Wan Tuyou was just about to speak.

Teng Qingshan tightened his hold on Wan Tuyou’s throat, and Wan Tuyou’s face immediately reddened. Teng Qingshan chuckled, “It’s good you guessed it. I am not a good person! I remember the faces of all those bastards! You are just the first one to die......” Teng Qingshan tightened his grip.

“咔嚓！”

“Crack!”

“He~~He~~” Wan Tuyou’s eyes widened roundly as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth and his eyes were filled with fear and anger.

He only understood now——

That the Supreme Sects had offended a really terrifying monster in the Great Yan Mountain!

He wanted to tell the Supreme Sects to quickly send the most powerful expert to kill this monster to avoid all future troubles! But he didn’t have any chance......Just before his death, Wan Tuyou could faintly see the bloody storm that Teng Qingshan would brew in the future of the land of the Nine Prefectures!

An eighteen year-old Golden Dan Innate Expert!

What level would he reach in ten years, twenty years, or thirty years?

In the future, that would be a calamity to many sects in the land of the Nine Prefectures! A true calamity! Maybe the Eight Supreme Sects would be obliterated in the calamity that Teng Qingshan would raise in the future! However.......Now no one would know, since those sects didn’t even realize what was happening on a small island on the distant North Sea.

“Hmph.” Once Teng Qingshan loosened his grip, the dead Wan Tuyou fell helplessly on the ground.

“Roar~~”

“Kill! KILL!”

Crazy shouts of "kill kill” came from below. Because of Wan Tuyou’s death, the soldiers of Snow Hawk Hall had lost all their confidence and fled madly while the God of Heaven Mountain’s soldiers pursued frenziedly.

Teng Qingshan stood on the peak of the mountain and watched the battle that was happening below in silence.

“Whew!” A white Divine Eagle dove down and descended beside Teng Qingshan. Li Jun, dressed in her light green armor, jumped down. With a smile as beautiful as flowers, she whispered, “Big Brother Teng, what were you telling that Wan Tuyou?”

Seeing Li Jun’s playful actions, Teng Qingshan seemed to be seeing Little Cat, the wife in his previous life, acting shamelessly and cutely after losing a competition of Internal Martial Arts with him.

“What are you looking at?” Li Jun cried out with her face slightly flushed.

“I was just thinking about something.” Teng Qingshan hastily answered and changed the topic as he continued saying, “Little Jun, the things here are done. I will tell Borileimu and the others now and sail the seas!”

“You’re not eating together with us?” Li Jun froze and said, “At least partake in the celebratory feast before you leave.”

“No.” Teng Qingshan shook his head in response.

Seeing Teng Qingshan’s response, Li Jun felt very sad. She cherished every second of the time she had with Teng Qingshan, but no matter what......the day when Teng Qingshan ventured the seas still came. She couldn’t stop it at all.

As she faced all of this, she felt helpless.

“Big Brother Teng......” Li Jun said softly.

“Eh?” Teng Qingshan stared at her as he answered.

Li Jun stared back at Teng Qingshan and asked, “Big Brother Teng, do you still remember the letter I gave you in the past?”

“I remember.” Teng Qingshan nodded.

Li Jun smiled and nodded, “I said in the letter that I would go find Big Brother Teng after I finish my training! Definitely!”

“After I left with my teacher, Big Brother Teng was constantly on my mind. I even practiced the whip art with all my effort! When I knew about what happened in the Great Yan Mountain, I was very worried. I only knew that you were fine because my Martial Uncle told me.”

“The Martial Uncle taught me the Language of Beasts. I learned solemnly since I thought that if I was adept at the Language of Beasts, my status in the sect would be higher and I would be able to help you.”

“Maybe the Heavens were watching when I finally met you in the Great Prairie! I was very happy. Extremely happy.” Li Jun was so excited that she quivered slightly. “I was so excited at that time that I almost couldn’t control myself.”

“These past six months have been the most happy days of my life.”

“I could see Big Brother Teng eat the food that I made.”

“I could lie on the grassland and watch Big Brother practice fist arts from afar.”

“I could sit under the stars and chat with Big Brother Teng.”

“I am very happy.” Li Jun stared at Teng Qingshan without blinking at all as she continued saying, “During these days with Big Brother Teng, even if I was looking from afar, I still felt this immense joy in the bottom of my heart! Big Brother Teng, I said in the letter that I would go find you! I won’t plea for any other thing. I can be your sister, or even a maid or servant as long as I can see you.”

Teng Qingshan stood on the mountain rock silently.

“Big Brother Teng, please let me sail the seas with you!” Li Jun stared at Teng Qingshan.

“Little Jun.....” Teng Qingshan took a deep breath and was about to speak.

Li Jun shook her head and said, “Big Brother Teng, there’s no need to say any unnecessary words. Actually, it wouldn’t affect you if you let me sail the seas with you. It’s just like having a maid...” LI Jun took a deep breath and continued saying, “Big Brother Teng, I just need your answer. Yes or no! I won’t force you, I just need an answer! If you don’t let me go, I won’t insist. I will leave immediately.”

Li Jun stared at Teng Qingshan with anxiousness in her eyes.

Hearing these questions, Teng Qingshan felt bad. Should he let a young girl sail the seas with him? Little Cat died. Qing Qing died.....Teng Qingshan really didn’t want others to get hurt because of him anymore.

“Go back!’ Teng Qingshan stared at Li Jun and said softly, “As time passes, you will meet many new friends and be happy.”

“Big Brother Teng......” Little Jun took a deep breath and forced a smile as she replied, “Okay. Alright, I will listen to you! I will go back! However, I will remember Big Brother Teng forever......” Li Jun suddenly raised her head and emitted a clear screech——

“Yu~~”

Resonating in the Heavens, the miserable screech could quiver the hearts of men.

“Pa!” The white Fierce Wind Divine Eagle flapped its wings and slapped Teng Qingshan into the air. Supporting himself with one hand, Teng Qingshan descended on a rock. The white Fierce Wind Divine Eagle then glared furiously at Teng Qingshan.

Li Jun leaped up the white Fierce Wind Divine Eagle’s back.

“I won’t be sending you off.” Li Jun stared at Teng Qingshan and tried to smile as she said, “I will be returning to the God of Heaven Mountain first!”

With this, she turned her head away from Teng Qingshan as tears flowed down her face.

“Sniff~~” Li Jun lied prone on the Eagle’s back as the tears wet the bird’s feathers.

Whew!

The black and white Fierce Wind Divine Eagles stretched their wings and ascended, soaring into the south rapidly. When Teng Qingshan saw this scene, he sighed softly. “It’s better to suffer a short-term pain rather than a long-term torture!” He could never forget the deaths of Little Cat and Qing Qing.
