Chapter 239: Killing the Saint King
"what?!"
Even though Xia Jiuyou prided himself on having an extraordinary character, and had expected something after seeing his master's expression, he still found it unbelievable when he heard the three words "Saint King", and even thought there was something wrong with his hearing.
Although there were rumors that Chai Xin had killed a saint seven years ago, how could he have reached the level of a Saint King in such a short period of time - no, to be precise, he had reached the level of being able to kill a high-level Saint King!
"Master, what kind of tribulation is he going through? The tribulation of a saint king? Or... the tribulation of a great saint?"
After calming down a little, Xia Jiuyou asked slowly with trembling red lips.
Although Gai Jiuyou's cultivation has fallen to the level of a great sage due to his old age and frailty, his vision is already at the level of a quasi-emperor, and naturally sharper than that of the old ape in the Western Desert.
He could tell at a glance that Chai Xin was going through the tribulation of a saint, which was why he was so surprised.
"Neither, it's just the Saint's Tribulation."
He stared at the figure that was flying at high speed, seemingly unaware of the disaster, with a look of admiration that could not be expressed in words.
“Saint… Saint Tribulation?” Xia Jiuyou was stunned for a long while after hearing this, and almost reacted, “Such a terrifying might, even a high-level Saint King can’t withstand it, and it’s only a Saint Tribulation?”
As the direct disciple of the legendary figure Gai Jiuyou, how could she not understand the profound meaning of it.
"Is he...really so amazing?"
Many years have passed, and the once proud and arrogant girl has long lost her childishness. Recalling what happened in the past, she still has some resentment towards Chai Xin, but she does not hate him to the point of hatred.
After all, it was her own rude words that got her slapped in the face.
But Chai Xin did not kill her in the end, which was considered as showing mercy.
Of course, it was impossible for her to have much good feelings towards someone who had beaten and suppressed her before.
If I really have to summarize it, it can probably be described in three words - "all is past"!
Anyway, it's over.
Over the years, she had only one thing in mind, which was to find a good medicine to prolong her master's life and heal his injuries.
In recent years, Gai Jiuyou's health has been deteriorating. She doesn't know how long he can last, which makes her extremely sad and worried.
Now, when I suddenly see my old friend, he has become so powerful. Besides being shocked, I also feel a sense of bewilderment.
"I'm afraid this kid is going to get into trouble, so I have to go and help him."
Gai Jiuyou stared at the direction that Chai Xin was chasing in the picture. His wrinkled eyelids twitched slightly and the smile on the corners of his mouth became more intense.
Xia Jiuyou raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said angrily: "Master, you are in this state now, who are you going to help? Besides, he is going through a tribulation, how can outsiders help him?"
"It's like this? What happened? As long as I am still breathing, I can suppress the saints of the ancient clan so much that they dare not raise their heads, and those quasi-emperors will have to hold their breath and not speak out!"
Gai Jiuyou's snow-white eyebrows trembled slightly, and a faint power suddenly burst out from his old body, instantly making the air around him freeze for a moment, although it was only fleeting.
"Master, I am not going to help him overcome the heavenly tribulation, but the human tribulation."
Although his realm has fallen and he usually has only the strength of a great sage, this is a stopgap measure to reduce consumption and prolong his life.
Once you truly fight to the death, you can instantly sublimate to the peak state. It only takes a snap of a finger to kill the Great Sage, and suppressing the Quasi-Emperor is not difficult at all.
Of course, the price of sublimation would probably be exhaustion and death.
In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that he was too close to the time when Qing Emperor attained enlightenment, Gai Jiuyou might have been the second great emperor after the ancient times!
Even with his old body now, he is enough to make all the great saints bow down and any quasi-emperor retreat.
"Human robbery? What does this mean? Could there be someone in the human race who would harm him?"
Xia Jiuyou was of course aware that what her master said was true, but she was curious about the new words he used.
"The so-called 'heaven, earth, and man', the 'man' here does not only refer to the human race. In fact, all things in the world that have intelligence can be prefixed with the word 'man'. Otherwise, how can there be the concepts of 'humanity', 'the world', and 'talent'?"
Gai Jiuyou's breath subsided, and as he spoke he regained his old appearance, as if he might die at any time.
"Well, his plan this time is not small, and it will definitely cause disaster. I can't just sit back and watch."
After saying that, he didn't care about Xia Jiuyou's attitude and put the fishing rod aside. He flicked his fingers lightly and the two figures immediately disappeared.
At the same time, in the East Desert.
Chai Xin, with the vast sea of thunder, followed slowly behind the flying Lion-faced Holy King in front of him as if he was strolling in the garden.
As for the Saint King Lieyang who betrayed his teammates, he was also killed not long after he killed Saint King Cangyun. He died under the rush of chaotic airflow, and not even a trace of his soul was left.
The Lion-Faced Saint King in front of him was indeed a supreme Saint King who had once entered the realm of Great Saint. His speed of escape was totally incomparable to that of the other two Saint Kings.
Even though Chai Xin possessed the secret of the character "Xing", he could only slowly close the distance for a while and could not directly catch up.
However, despite this, the Lion-Faced Saint King was still unable to escape the scope of the heavenly calamity and could only use the Prison-Suppressing Talisman to protect his body to avoid being overwhelmed by the chaotic airflow.
He had to flee and resist the chaotic aura at the same time. After a period of time, even with his powerful divine power, he could hardly hold on.
After all, he had been entangled with Jiang Taixu for a long time and was not in perfect condition.
In fact, Chai Xin was not in a hurry to catch up with him immediately, but deliberately used this death threat to put pressure on the other party.
Judging from past practice, his heavenly tribulation cannot be so "simple", there must be a bigger "surprise" later, so there is no need to rush to kill the opponent.
Besides, judging from the Lion-Faced Saint King’s current condition, I’m afraid he won’t be able to hold on for much longer.
Moreover, the anger in Chai Xin's heart cannot be completely extinguished by killing three Saint Kings.
In order to suppress the human race, the ancient tribe actually did such a thing, so he naturally had to give them a taste of their own medicine!
"Young man, do you know who I am? If I die, your race will be doomed to die! If you know what's best for you, turn around and let this matter go!"
The Lion-Faced Holy King finally reached his limit. He knew that if he continued like this, he would be exhausted to death without Chai Xin having to do anything.
His words seemed to be a threat, but in fact they hinted at his surrender.
Chai Xin sneered when he heard this. They were so arrogant even when begging for mercy. The sense of superiority of these ancient tribes must have been deeply rooted in their bones.
Unless their bones are crushed inch by inch, they will never wake up.
"Why waste your time talking? Die now!"
Chai Xin looked calm. No matter how the Lion-Faced Saint King cursed and threatened him, he only responded with this one sentence from beginning to end.
"You little bastard, if you hadn't relied on the heavenly tribulation, do you think you could do anything to me? You really don't know how to live or die!"
The Lion-Faced Holy King has been high and mighty since ancient times. He has never been looked down upon like this before. He was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
However, Chai Xin's next response almost pissed him off. "I'm just relying on the heavenly tribulation, what can you do to me? It's ridiculous that a great Saint King can say such stupid things!"
"I am so angry, I will fight you!"
Perhaps he realized that this was not a solution, or perhaps he was really angered by Chai Xin's words, the Lion-faced Holy King suddenly stopped and turned to look at Chai Xin who was chasing him relentlessly.
"Even if I die today, I will take you, the unrivaled genius of the human race, with me on the journey!"
As he spoke, his figure flashed repeatedly, and his powerful aura shook the void. He actually passed through the sea of thunder and rushed towards Chai Xin.
"Finally the cornered dog has jumped over the wall."
Chai Xin had expected this, and his expression remained calm. He continued to move at lightning speed, with a purple glow that seemed to be real surrounding his whole body. He faced the opponent without fear.
"Go to hell!"
Seeing this, the Lion-Faced Saint King was not surprised but happy. He quietly activated the Prison-Suppressing Talisman above his head, which turned into a pitch-black divine sword. It passed through the sea of thunder silently, and even the chaotic aura could not be blocked in the slightest. It swiftly slashed towards Chai Xin who was flying towards him.
This is the precious talisman refined by the Prison Emperor before he attained enlightenment. If it were not already incomplete, it would have been considered a quasi-imperial weapon.
Even so, there is still a trace of quasi-emperor's power left, and it is quasi-emperor's power that is close to emperor's power. Its strength should not be underestimated.
"The baby is a good one, but it's a pity that the person who uses it is not good enough."
Chai Xin's aura was locked by the Prison-Suppressing Talisman, but he did not panic at all. He flipped his hand and threw out the Xuanhuang Seal.
The divine materials used to forge the Xuanhuang Seal include black gold with dragon patterns, purple gold with divine marks, and the Xuanhuang mother energy source root, all of which are of fairy-like level.
In addition, when he was baptized by the energy of creation before, the Xuanhuang Seal was also nourished. The three kinds of divine materials that had not yet been truly integrated have now gradually merged.
Although it has not yet reached the level of being truly natural, its power has increased many times over.
Even though it does not possess quasi-imperial power, its sturdiness is by no means inferior to anything in the world.
Unless it collides with a true imperial weapon, it will be defeated.
However, that was not because of the materials, but rather the special divinity bestowed upon the master by the blessings of all the ways after he attained enlightenment, which brought about a gap comparable to the sequence of rules.
As for the broken talisman in front of him, not to mention it is incomplete, even if it is a real quasi-imperial weapon, it is impossible to destroy the current Xuanhuang Seal in an instant.
"when!"
The two treasures collided, and the broken quasi-emperor's power surged out, causing the Xuanhuang Seal to tremble slightly, but as the Xuanhuang mother energy fell down, it quickly stabilized.
"How can it be?!"
The Lion-Faced Holy King never imagined that this would be the outcome.
He knew that if he continued like this, he would surely die, so he had no choice but to risk his life and kill Chai Xin quickly, and perhaps there would be a chance of survival.
After all, as long as the person who is undergoing the tribulation dies, the tribulation will dissipate on its own.
He originally thought that with a hint of quasi-imperial power on the Prison-Suppressing Talisman, plus his full strength at the cost of his life, he would be able to at least severely injure Chai Xin.
At that time, there was no way the opponent would be able to face this majestic power and remain calm, so he would have a chance of survival.
Unfortunately, Chai Xin's trump cards kept coming out, but none of them were damaged at all.
In fact, this was also because the Lion-Faced Saint King had not been able to truly refine the Prison-Suppressing Talisman. Otherwise, if he had fully activated the quasi-imperial power within it, even if the Xuanhuang Seal had not collapsed, it would have been at a disadvantage to some extent.
Although Chai Xin was not seriously injured, it was impossible for him to not be hurt at all.
"Go ahead with peace of mind. Don't be afraid of being alone. I will go to the tribe behind you later and use this thunderbolt sent by heaven to reunite them with you."
Chai Xin not only killed people but also destroyed their hearts. He uttered these words lightly, and then calmly activated the Holy Fighting Technique, shooting out a purple halo and pressing towards the Lion-faced Holy King who was already in front of him.
"How dare you, evil creature! My clan has supreme imperial soldiers that are enough to kill you!"
Upon hearing these words, the Lion-Faced Saint King’s face turned green and he almost forgot his current situation.
For someone like him who has fallen from the realm of Great Sage to the level of Saint King, it is almost impossible for him to return to the peak again in his lifetime. The greatest hope in his heart is nothing more than the younger generations in the tribe.
If not for this, he would not be willing to be sealed away in the dust for endless years, and even be unable to spend their lives with his wife and children, and come to this life without any relatives.
"Have you forgotten that you have taken the imperial soldiers away to confront the major families and holy places? Before those guys come to their senses, I will be the first to destroy your nest."
Chai Xin had an indifferent expression, and the purple halo emitted a brilliant light, making him look like a celestial god, and the words he spoke seemed to be a verdict.
"That's called...reaping what you sow."
"No!"
The Lion-Faced Holy King's eyes were red. Thinking of the speed displayed by Chai Xin and the terrifying power of this natural calamity, he could almost see the tragic scene of the tribe behind him.
However, no matter how much he resisted, the halo above his head still fell slowly and steadily, hitting the divine power shield above his head.
The next moment, the protective divine light that he had activated with all his strength was crushed by the light wheel, and the chaotic aura in the sky was like a ferocious blue dragon, rushing in with the momentum to annihilate all living beings.
"boom!"
In just a moment, the Lion-Faced Holy King, whose face was filled with hatred and unwillingness, was completely reduced to ashes, without even a trace left in the world.
Looking at the place where the other party disappeared, Chai Xin remained calm, slowly cast his gaze into the distance, and said coldly: "The interest has been collected, and it's time to repay the principal."
As soon as he finished speaking, silver light flashed under his feet and his figure seemed to be wandering in the depths of time and space. Even the endless lightning and chaotic aura could not touch him.
In just one breath, he had crossed thousands of miles and headed towards the lair of the ancient clans such as the Lion-faced Holy King.
Although he did not interrogate them, he could easily sense the direction of their fellow tribesmen from the aura emanating from those guys.
Just like the human race, other ethnic groups also have their own unique aura.
When one’s cultivation reaches Chai Xin’s level, he can naturally detect it easily.
The first place he rushed to was the ancient clan behind the Lion-faced Saint King, who was also a famous ancient royal family that had once produced an ancient emperor.
The golden tribe!
This Golden Clan is the ancestor of the so-called Golden Family in Beiyuan. Jin Chixiao, who had met Chai Xin several times, has the blood of this clan.
The Golden Clan once had an ancient Golden Emperor, whose imperial weapon was a golden mace. He was an out-and-out old villain.
