Chapter 139: Killing Tuoba Ye (Part 1)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After coming onto the stage, Tuoba Ye used his bewitching eyes to sweep across the people before finally landing on Mu Lianyi’s delicate body.

Mu Lianyi shivered as her beautiful eyes showed a hint of fear. Tuoba Ye’s eyes were too murderous, and it felt as though as if it were going to peel someone’s skin alive.

These eyes weren’t just evil; they were bloodthirsty, brutally bloodthirsty. It felt as though he was going to pounce over and use his sharp teeth to tear his victim apart.

“Mu Clan Head, will the final victor of this martial contest for marriage be able to marry your delicate daughter?” Tuoba Ye asked.

Mu Liancheng replied with a gloomy expression, “Of course.”

Tuoba Ye continued asking, “Then would the pearl be given as a dowry as well?”

Mu Liancheng’s expression changed and said, “Of course!”

Tuoba Ye laughed and said, “Alright, then would Castle Master Li Guinong be the witness? If I am the final victor and if Mu Lianyi isn’t married to me, and the pearl isn’t given to me, then I will slaughter the entire Mu Clan, leaving nothing behind!”

He instantly flashed a look at Li Guinong.

“Alright, I will be the witness.” Li Guinong then said slowly, “But you also have to take the oath. If you are to lose the martial contest, you will never put a finger on anything that belongs to the Mu Clan. Be it Mu Lianyi or Mu Clan’s treasure pearl. Swear upon the twin moons, twin suns, and the Primal Chaos Continent.”

Tuoba Ye raised his hand and said, “With the twin moons and twin suns up above, with the Primal Chaos Continent down below. If I am to fail in this martial contest, I will never put a finger on Mu Lianyi and the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. If I go against this vow, all the Tuoba clansmen of the Raging Flames Castle will face extinction and never to be reincarnated for eternity!”

Once this vow was out, everyone instantly changed their expressions. This was considered the most vicious vow.

Immediately after, Tuoba Ye spoke to Mu Liancheng, “Mu Clan Head, it is your turn.”

Mu Liancheng’s expression changed. He gritted his teeth and said, “With the twin moons and twin suns up above, with the Primal Chaos Continent down below, if Tuoba Ye obtains victory in this martial contest for marriage, I will marry Mu Lianyi to him and give the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl as the dowry. If I go against this vow, my Mu Clan will face extinction and be cut off from all offsprings.”

This vow was also very vicious.

Tuoba Ye let out a lewd and evil smile and said, “Then, ask Yan Nantian to come on the stage?”

Right now, Yang Dingtian was still shut inside the small courtyard.

Li Guinong looked behind and spoke to Ximen Bao indifferently, “You go.”

“Yes!” Ximen Bao replied.

Afterward, he had a half squat and launched off the ground like a cannonball, crashing onto the contest stage. There was a loud echo, while the entire stage was shaking.

“Your opponent is me,” Ximen Bao spoke in a cold voice. He didn’t have a prominent figure, but he still looked competent.

Tuoba Ye had this slight change in expression. When Ximen Bao abruptly jumped onto the stage, he had a ferocious qi presence. In terms of mystic qi, he might not lose out to Tuoba Ye.

“What about Yan Nantian?” Tuoba Ye asked in a cold voice.

“Ask after you win against me,” Ximen Bao replied.

“Alright, I feel that Yan Nantian is very weak, and it would be a one-sided fight. It is much better to have an evenly matched opponent,” Tuoba Ye sneered.

The housekeeper came up and said, “Please sign the life and death indemnity!”

Tuoba Ye and Ximen Bao both walked over to sign the life and death indemnity. Everyone’s expression instantly turned even more grave.

It was apparent that such a vicious person like Tuoba Ye wouldn’t stop until he killed his opponent.

“On the martial stage, weapons have no eyes; life and death are up to heaven, murdering would be not guilty!” The housekeeper announced the life and death indemnity before banging on the golden gong and yelled, “Let the fight begin!”

*******************

“Zha!” Ximen Bao burst out with a yell and brandished the giant Buddhist scepter, swinging it at Tuoba Ye.

There was a loud bang, followed by a burst of flames.

Ximen Bao’s attack was truly ferocious! Furthermore, the Wooden Sword Castle specialized in the sword, and Li Guinong also used a sword, but no one expected his most outstanding disciple to be using a Buddhist scepter.

Tuoba Ye’s sharp sword was tilted horizontally! It was used to forcefully block the flames that burst out from the Buddhist scepter.

“Bang!” There was a loud sound, as Tuoba Ye was pushed several meters back while his sword was instantly burned into red hot iron!

“Incredible!” Everyone exclaimed.

This wasn’t merely praise of Ximen Bao; they were also gasping that Tuoba Ye’s strength too. He, who was a treacherous person, was actually able to receive such a ferocious blow from Ximen Bao!

After Ximen Bao executed the first strike, his body flashed as he brandished the Buddhist scepter and rained a storm of attacks at Tuoba Ye.

Each attack was more ferocious and faster than the previous attack!

For an instant, the entire contest stage only had one Ximen Bao, the Buddhist scepter in his hands turned into a few tens and followed by hundreds.

Finally, it became like a steel wall that was pressed down at Tuoba Ye. It was originally a black Buddhist scepter, but it gradually turned red and was finally bright red after being burned by the mystic qi.

Tuoba Ye was totally forced to the corner of the stage, but he was using his agility to evade the attacks.

This Ximen Bao’s attacks were truly too ferocious, and he was like a toppling mountain and overturning sea, which no one would dare to face head-on.

Mu Liancheng immediately looked at Li Guinong with eyes of admiration!

“Faction Head Li, in less than two years, Nephew Ximen would be able to take on the heavy responsibilities of the Wooden Sword Castle and revitalize it.” Mu Liancheng said, “The most incredible thing is that he could use the scepter as a sword. Faction Head Li is truly a pedant genius.”

(TL note: I used Faction Head instead of Castle Master as Wooden Sword Castle is one of the Twenty Seven Factions)

From the current situation of the battle, Ximen Bao was at a complete advantage. His ferocious scepter has already forced Tuoba Ye to the corner of the stage, and there was no more space to retreat anymore.

“Toppling Mountains Overturning Sea!”

Ximen Bao roared out, while this scepter swept across horizontally.

“Boom!” The fiery red scepter blasted out a giant firewall, which was hundreds of feet in height as it pressed towards Tuoba Ye.

Tuoba Ye tipped off the ground and swiftly jumped up more than a few dozen meters and avoided the firewall.

“Star Burst!”

Ximen Bao shot up into the sky like a cannonball while using the scepter to thrust at Tuoba Ye violently.

“Thump Thump Thump Thump…”

The countless fiery red lights were shot out, which all exploded on Tuoba Ye’s body!

Tuoba Ye’s body shifted horizontally, as he traversed and evaded the mystic qi explosions. He threaded like a needle, which looked very thrilling!

“Upheaving the Sky and Earth!”

Ximen Bao let out a thunderous roar while the scepter vigorously shot out a flaming light, which was several feet long. It then spun around violently!

In an instant, the entire stage was engulfed in flames, forming a terrifying mystic qi whirlpool that was violently cutting up the air.

Everyone was holding their breaths and looked at everything with shock.

Mu Liancheng couldn’t help but exclaim, “Nephew Ximen is extremely powerful. Even if he had to fight an expert three or four classes above them, they would still have to evade his attacks!”

At this moment, Tuoba Ye was just like a small wooden boat on raging waves. He was floating in this storm and might be ripped into pieces at any time!

“Kill him, kill him!”

Everyone from the Mu Clan Docks was all burning up with passion as they were watching and cheered out loudly.

“Rip this lewd bastard into pieces!”

The current Mu Lianyi was looking with the eyes of splendor. This Senior Ximen Bao was truly much stronger than Yan Nantian. She admired him from the heart at the sight of his ferocity.

“Haha, you have finished performing, right? It is my turn now,” Tuoba Ye, who was still floating in the stormy waves, suddenly sneered.

“Shooting Star Butterfly Sword!”

There was a loud and clear shout!

Tuoba Ye’s figure suddenly turned into a white light, while he dove into the scepter’s red killing light whirlpool like a shooting star. With the man and sword combined, he thrust at Ximen Bao’s head.

His speed was extremely fast and was comparable to lightning — his sharp sword thrust on the top of Ximen Bao’s head.

With the sudden change in the situation, everyone gasped!

“Blood Devil Golden Dipper!”

Ximen Bao yelled out, while mystic qi, which was mixed with blood mist, burst out from his body. His clothes exploded into pieces, while his hair all burst out.

The blood mist and mystic qi formed this protection that covered the entire body. A layer of golden blood-red light now enveloped his whole body.

The Blood Devil Golden Dipper was a formidable protection mystic skill that turned the mystic qi and blood into energy protection. It could allow the practitioner to have a body that was impervious to weapons.

Suddenly, Tuoba Ye’s sharp was unable to make its way in, while his body was upside down in midair.

This Blood Devil Golden Dipper was truly formidable and truly indestructible.

After blocking Tuoba Ye’s attack, Ximen Bao used both his hands to swing the scepter.

“Swish…” The fiery red scepter was suddenly blasted at Tuoba Ye.

“Hahaha…” Tuoba Ye let out loud laughter, while his sharp sword shook a little.

The tip of his sword emitted a ball of black light all of a sudden.

“Swish…” Immediately after, this black light thrust through the Blood Devil Golden Dipper and at Ximen Bao’s head.

The formidable Blood Devil Golden Dipper was actually penetrated!

Ximen Bao was astonished as he clenched his fist and swiftly shot out powerful mystic qi, propelling his body back several meters like a cannonball, allowing him to evade Tuoba Ye’s sharp sword.

Concurrently, the fiery red scepter was thrust at Tuoba Ye’s body.

Tuoba Ye twisted his wrist while his sleeves rolled up!

There was a mystic qi whirlpool that appeared at his arms, and the whirlpool actually engulfed this violent scepter.

Tuoba Ye’s sleeve actually caught such a ferocious scepter hold!

Li Guinong had a sudden change in his expression! He never expected Tuoba Ye to be so proficient in his wind element martial skill. This Taichi Whirlpool was obviously using the opponent’s force to his own benefit, allowing him to catch the powerful scepter easily.

“Huff…” In the Taichi Whirlpool, the scepter was spinning faster and faster.

“Swish…” When the whirlpool was at the fastest speed, it was sent back to Ximen Bao with a burst of additional speed.

“Halt!” Ximen Bao yelled out and pressed his hands together, using a powerful mystic qi to stop the scepter.

“Rainstorm Devil Flower Sword!”

Tuoba Ye yelled out clearly, while his figure instantly split into multiple figures.

There were countless sharps swords and sword lights.

Just like a rainstorm, he rained down on Ximen Bao.

“Protect!” Ximen Bao swiftly swirled the scepter and blocked the countless swords from Tuoba Ye.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang…”

There were countless swords flowers which struck on the scepter, emitting blue light, as though blossoming flower-shaped flames, which was breathtaking and splendid.

“Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish…”

This Ximen Bao was truly incredible. With the scepter back in his hands, he actually blocked all of Tuoba Ye’s sword flowers.

Tens of swords.

Hundreds of swords.

Thousands of swords!

All of them were blocked.

“Haha. Alright, I shall stop playing.” Tuoba Ye suddenly laughed heartily and said, “You can die now.”

“Soul Break Devil Sword, first form, Rapture Half-Moon Slash!”

“Die…” With a ruthless yell, Tuoba Ye arched his body and violently slashed with the sharp sword.

In an instant, Tuoba Ye’s hand burst out with dazzling light, forming a giant half-moon sword light, which shot out.

“Block!” Ximen Bao held onto the scepter and blocked with all his effort.

“Bang!” The extremely tough scepter was severed, while the half-moon sword light struck Ximen Bao’s chest.

A fresh red scar burst out on Ximen Bao’s chest, while a blood mist sprayed out violently.

Ximen Bao’s muscular body flew almost a hundred meters like rice straw.

In midair, his chest suddenly appeared with a giant wound, while fresh blood gushed out like the fountain.

“Bao Zi!” Li Guinong exclaimed as he rose into the air and caught hold of the bleeding Ximen Bao. He quickly fed Ximen Bao an elixir and stopped the bleeding artery on his chest.

(TL note: The Zi in Bao Zi is like a Bao son/Bao child, so it is a more intimate way of addressing a disciple or a child)

Everyone present went silent as they were appalled by this scene!

This Tuoba Ye was actually so horrifyingly powerful. In the beginning, everyone saw that he was frantically evading, but in fact, he was taking a leisure stroll. His final mystic skill had instantly defeated Ximen Bao.

Ximen Bao, who had broken through to the Great Mystic Martial Master, was already very formidable. But in the face of Tuoba Ye’s mystic skill, Soul Break Devil Sword, he was instantly defeated by the first move!

**********************

“Are there any more challengers?” Tuoba Ye spoke in a cold voice as he looked at the burning incense.

There were less than two inches of it that had not been burned yet, which was around 10 minutes.

“Is there anyone else?” Tuoba Ye asked again.

No one responded. His viciousness terrified everyone.

The current Mu Lianyi was still looking at the entrance with sentimental eyes.

“Xingwen, why aren’t you here yet?”

“You made the promise that you will be back to marry me in five years at most. Today is already the last day.”

“Have you forgotten? If you aren’t arriving soon, I am going to die!”

Time passed minute by minute, while that incense burned, bit by bit.

The paramour that Mu Lianyi anxiously waited had not arrived yet, and the end of the martial contest was about to end soon.

When that incense was only left with one inch, Mu Lianyi was in despair, and her beautiful face had turned dull.

“Hahahahaha…” Tuoba Ye laughed with insolence and said, “Mu Clan Head, you can prepare for the wedding now. I am going into the bridal room with your daughter tonight. Also, make sure to prepare the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl.”

Every single member of the Mu Clan Docks had a dull expression as they saw how Tuoba Ye behaved brazenly.

“Yan Nantian? You coward! Where did you go to? Do you dare to come out for a fight? Time is about to run out soon,” Tuoba Ye shouted.

“Yan Nantian, you woman and the pearl are going to belong to me. Don’t worry; I will treat Mu Lianyi well and make sure she would beg for life and death but wouldn’t receive either!”

Once this statement was out, everyone’s expression changed.

“Yan Nantian, do you dare to come out and fight?” Tuoba Ye was still yelling.

Mu Lianyi was first looking at the entrance, she then finally looked at the courtyard where Yang Dingtian was.
