Chapter 480 Elite Qin Warrior of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain
As Qin Wushuang was feeling stunned, that voice said coldly again: "Are you truly passerbys?"
"Absolutely yes."
Qin Wushuang’s voice had a sense of honesty that would leave one unable to doubt him.
Clearly, the person belonging to that voice was somewhat in poor health as if he was mumbling to himself: "Ah...If you are passerbys, the only advice I can give you guys is to leave here as soon as possible."
Bao Bao asked curiously: "Why should we leave here, is the volcano going to erupt?"
"Ha ha..." That voice chuckled extremely bitterly as he asked, "Could it be that the most terrifying thing in the world is an erupting volcano?"
Bao Bao was speechless as he had no idea how to answer it.
Qin Wushuang was also concentrating on working out the implied meaning of the other party’s words. He always felt that the words had another layer of thoughtfulness and were worth dwelling on.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, suddenly, that voice grew cold and muttered: "Now, even if you want to leave, I am afraid you cannot!"
Qin Wushuang was stunned and raised his head suddenly. He saw that the sky seemed to have become covered by a layer of immense black sheets. Black clouds covered the sky densely and caused it to darken instantly, the turbulent wind was like a portent of the impending mountain storm.
This formation of dense and imposing clouds had even suppressed the surging torrential flames from the Wild Flame Cliff of the Crest Mountain.
That voice gave a low growl: "If you don’t want to die, head to the Wild Flame Cliff quickly!"
Qin Wushuang and his friends knew the current situation was extremely urgent. Without thinking, they dashed towards the direction of the Wild Flame Cliff.
The Wild Flame Cliff possessed a sense of omniosity. After Qin Wushuang and his friends had made it to the top of the cliff, they only saw a crisscrossed stone forest everywhere.
From the stone forest, a voice sounded: "Find a place to hide! Whether you can escape will depend on your luck and fortune."
This voice was that extremely weak one from before. At this moment, it carried a form of dignity and made Qin Wushuang and his friends obey without a choice.
Just as Qin Wushuang and Bao Bao hid themselves, numerous figures continuously dropped out of the sky onto the top of this Wild Flame cliff like falling stars. After the colorful lights had dwindled, two groups of martial artists dressed in similar clothing was revealed.
These martial artists only dressed in two types of clothing and appeared from two different groups. There were nine people in total. Four on the one side and five on the other.
The group of four people all wore scarlet battle armour, whereas the five-man team all wore black armour. Each of them did not show a friendly expression and appeared to be tough people.
From the ones dressed in scarlet battle armour, an elderly man with a long beard said slowly: "This is it, this is his limit. It’s already impressive he managed to get this far."
"Search the area." From the team of those dressed in black battle armour, a forthright guy waved his hand and gave the order. Obviously, this tall and sturdy guy was the leader of this group.
Just as the team was about to disperse to being their search, that weak voice from earlier laughed.
"Indeed it’s you bastards, finally you found this place. Ha ha ha, Yan Qingyun, Wu Lihu, are you tired of chasing after me across half of the Xuan Yuan Mound?"
"Ha ha ha ha..." The more that voice spoke, the more it became proud of itself. In the end, the voice even laughed, "Bastards, how do you plan to serve me, your Old Master this time?"
Yan Qingyun was that elderly man in the scarlet armour, the leader of the scarlet armoured team. And Wu Lihu was this tall and sturdy giant guy from the black armoured team.
Wu Lihu opened his eyes widely and mocked him with bitterness: "Qin Shixun, if you know the situation, work with us and give us the goods. Perhaps, we can leave you with an intact corpse."
"Goods?" That person being called as Qin Shixun was the one with the weak voice, he laughed coldly, "Did you see that ten thousand feet cliff next to you? That cliff with the emerging fire lights, and is like a super stove in all four seasons?"
"Humph! We have no time to chat with you. If you know where you are, give us the goods!"
"To ask for the goods would depend on if you guys have the guts to jump into the cliff. I will not even lie to you. The goods you sought so desperately, I have thrown all of them into the fire furnace. Ha ha, we all broke up and no one will get it."
"Qin, stop with these tricks. If you are willing to throw those things down to the cliff of this volcano, you would not have risked your life to steal them. Give them to us, and at least we can leave you a complete corpse!"
"Elder Yan, why waste energy speaking to him? We already shattered this guys’ primordial spirit and it’s beyond help. Right now, he’s like an arrow at the end of its flight. Why not just take him down, torture him slowly and let’s see if his mouth is tougher or whether his bones are."
This suggestion was issued by that Wu Lihu in the black armour.
Yan Qingyun was older and more mature. Hearing Wu Lihu’s suggestion, he was somewhat worried. Those in scarlet armour were disciples to the Heavenly Penance Villa; the black armoured team were the elites of the Thunder Sound of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain.
This time, they had each sent eight people. Initially, they were on par with numbers. However, during the process of chasing Qin Shixun, seven of them had been killed by a variety of means. This way, the numbers on each sides were imbalanced.
For the Heavenly Penance Villa, the more people that had died would mean lesser manpower for them. Thus, they must consider other things along the way.
When Qin Wushuang heard up to this point, his heart thumped, Qin Shixun? Hearing this name, could he be the elite warrior from the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan?
There shouldn’t be such a coincidence in the world, right? Qin Wushuang found it hard to believe. However, the people in these two groups were all elite warriors of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates. If this Qin Shixun said that he had come from the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan, it would not be strange. And the rumored two powerhouses opposing the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan should be this Heavenly Penance Villa and the Thunder Sound sect!
While he was lost in his thoughts, suddenly, he felt someone pat his back lightly. Immediately turning his head back, he was almost startled. Behind his back, a person stood there. This person had a pale face and gave off the impression of poor health. Yet, when he stood there, he still emitted an unbelievable sense of power.
"Young man, follow me." As soon as this person opened his mouth, Qin Wushuang recognized him to be Qin Shixun.
Qin Wushuang was not in a position to refuse. He followed behind him as if it was the way it should be done. Bao Bao and Lone also walked out from the two sides carefully to follow that person travelling through the stone forest.
In a moment, they found a deep opening. After walking through thousands of twist and turns leaving them uncertain as to how long they had walked, they realized that they had arrived at a cave hidden in depths of the mountain.
Clearly, this cave had been man-made. In the most active place of this volcano, although the development of this cave did not appear to have been built with aesthetics in mind, it was obvious that it had been constructed with a lot of effort.
After they had walked at least twenty to thirty miles deep into the cave, finally, they had arrived at a rather open platform.
As Qin Shixun reached the platform, he appeared extremely weak. His face was pale as the terrifying white paper. Qin Wushuang immediately took out a piece of Nine Reversal Sun pill and said: "Sire, this pill..."
Qin Shixun smiled lightly, he did not take it and only nodded lightly: "Nine Reversal Sun pill, good pill. Put it back, I can’t use it."
"Hey, this pill has good effects. You are suffering severe injuries, are you scared of us poisoning you?" Seeing him making excuses, Bao Bao could not help but feel depressed.
"Even if it’s a poisonous pill, I would have swallow it if it can heal my injuries. I would not care if drinking poison could quench my thirst."
Qin Shixun said with a tranquil tone as if he already no longer cared about life or death.
Only, behind his tranquility, there was a hint of regret.
"If that pill could support me for two hours and let me kill a few more of those scums, that would be for the best. Ha ha... Unfortunately, with a shattered primordial spirit, even the divine gods from the heavens would not be able to save me!"
From Qin Shixun’s eyes, some resentful light flashed in his eyes, accompanied by some regret. However, this regret was not a lamentation at his fading life, but the melancholy was more due to being powerless to kill the enemies.
"Sire, may I ask whether you are from the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan?" When Qin Wushuang looked at Qin Shixun, vividly, he felt a form of miraculous resonance inwardly.
The temperament presented by Qin Shixun gave Qin Wushuang extreme sense of familiarity. This bloodline familiarity allowed him to feel resonating anger against a common enemy deep inside his bones.
What else would be more depressing than being powerless to kill your enemies? Of course, Qin Wushuang had sympathized as his own experience towards Qin Shixun’s mood.
Qin Shixun laughed: "Little guy, I waited for this question from you for a long time."
Qin Wushuang looked at Qin Shixun with surprise and had some disbelieving look on his face.
Qin Shixun smiled lightly: "When you first came to the Crest Mountain, I was in mediation and planned to heal my wounds by defying the natural order. Thus, I did not sense your presence. However, when I woke up from my meditation, I already sensed your presence. At the same time, I also sensed the Qin bloodline in you. If you did not explode with power during the training, perhaps I would not have sensed it. However, when you made the breakthrough, that bloodline connection made me feel a resonance. At that time, I suspected it. In the end, I was worried that it was an illusion created by those two groups of bastards deliberately taking advantage of my injuries."
"Senior, this way, you knew that our boss is an offspring of the Qin clan?" Bao Bao was slightly surprised.
Qin Shixun said with a smile: "This is not hard to verify. The bloodline of the Qin is extremely unique. The purer the bloodline and the stronger one’s power, the resonance with each other is more violent. By the way, I didn’t ask you, what’s your name, young man? Which branch of the Qin clan do you belong to? I had never seen a young man like you in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain."
"I am Qin Wushuang, I come from the human countries."
One could imagine why Qin Wushuang’s answer made Qin Shixun feel extremely shocked: "From the human countries? I must say it’s truly incredible."
Next, his attention focused on the words "Qin Wushuang." Suddenly, his expression changed drastically as he cried out involuntarily: "Qin Wushuang?"
