Chapter 126 At All Costs, Kill Qin Wu
Chapter 126 At All Costs, Kill Qin Wu
On the other side, Qin Wu defeated his opponent, but his expression remained quite calm.
Cang Xuanwu couldn't help but burst into laughter and said to Taixuzi:
"Tai Xu Zi, how about we end this battle here today?"
"This kid seems quite strong. Although he lost, it was a valiant defeat. How much stronger is your disciple Yang Xu? If he had lost again, Kunlun Ruins would have lost face big time."
Taixuzi looked at Cang Xuanwu:
"You don't need to worry about that. Kunlun Ruins is full of talented people. How could we possibly be defeated by someone who hasn't even reached the initial stage of True Qi?"
You should think about what you'll do after your prized disciple loses.
His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his tone was even more sharp, conveying all his emotions to Yang Xu.
From Taixuzi's eyes, Yang Xu knew that this battle was not only about defeating Qin Wu, but more importantly, about leaving an indelible impression on Qin Wu, such as killing him.
Only in this way can Taixuzi be completely satisfied with his performance, and in the future, he will surely be able to establish an unparalleled position in Kunlun Ruins with the help of Taixuzi.
He didn't care at all about the consequences of this matter.
As long as we can kill Qin Wu, what does it matter if we are judged to have failed?
The only concern is that he must not be found to have acted intentionally, otherwise he is very likely to be punished by Tianwu Mountain. At that time, even Taixuzi will have difficulty protecting him.
Without hesitation, Yang Xu charged directly at Qin Wu. His moves were extremely fierce, yet this fierceness was flawless.
Qin Wu, however, was not deceived by this facade. He could sense that the man in front of him had murderous intent in his eyes.
Regardless, Qin Wu showed no intention of holding back. He and Kunlun Ruins were already mortal enemies, and if he made a move himself, Kunlun Ruins might seize the opportunity to strike. After all, Taixuzi was quite powerful, and Tianwu Mountain simply couldn't withstand a direct confrontation with Kunlun Ruins.
Therefore, if the other party finds a fault in him, Taixuzi is very likely to take the opportunity to make trouble, which will inevitably put Tianwu Mountain in a dilemma.
Although Qin Wu himself was not afraid of the other party, it did not mean that he was willing to involve Tianwu Mountain in the matter.
Moreover, his current strength is indeed somewhat lacking. If given a few more years, he might be able to disregard even someone like Taixuzi in front of him.
However, Qin Wu looked at Yang Xu with a hint of a smile. He wanted to see if Yang Xu could resist making a move.
When the two clashed, Yang Xu used all his strength, which was extremely powerful and much stronger than the previous opponents. Even Qin Wu had to take such a move seriously.
After exchanging blows for a while, everyone waited for the outcome of the battle, as the two seemed extremely evenly matched and it was impossible to determine a winner in a short period of time.
Seeing this result, the Lord of Tianwu Mountain breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile in his eyes became even more obvious. Qin Wu's performance was truly beyond his expectations.
If Cang Xuanwu hadn't brought Qin Wu to their Tianwu Mountain, it's questionable whether Tianwu Mountain would even exist a few decades from now. Qin Wu's battle has greatly revitalized Tianwu Mountain. He's already considering what reward he should give Qin Wu after this incident, as such a significant contribution cannot be treated lightly.
Almost everyone was captivated by Qin Wu's strength, but at that moment, a murderous glint flashed in Yang Xu's eyes. He had dragged this out for so long precisely to make everyone relax their guard.
In that instant, a piercing nail suddenly shot out from his waist. The nail went straight for Qin Wu's heart the moment it appeared, and no one noticed.
By the time those people realized what was happening, it was already too late. The moment the Lord of Tianwu Mountain saw it, his expression changed drastically. He stood up, wanting to help, but the Heart-Piercing Nail had been thrown in an instant, and there was no time to react.
Everyone else is in the same situation.
But just when Yang Xu thought he had succeeded, Qin Wu moved swiftly and dodged the piercing nail in an extremely strange manner.
At the same time, the act of throwing the Heart-Piercing Nail caused Yang Xu to hesitate for a moment. When Yang Xu looked up at Qin Wu, he saw extreme confidence in Qin Wu's eyes, and a face that was also filled with murderous intent.
"don't want…"
Before Yang Xu could finish speaking, Qin Wu's Tiger King Blade had already slashed down at him. Originally, although the power of this strike was considerable, he might have been able to defend against it. However, now, one wrong step led to another, and in a mere instant, Qin Wu's Tiger King Blade struck him squarely in the chest.
A column of blood shot into the sky. Yang Xu looked at the blood flowing continuously from his chest, his eyes filled with despair.
I lost.
Moreover, they suffered a crushing defeat.
His gaze toward Qin Wu was filled with regret.
What was I thinking, that I would provoke this monster?
Just a moment ago, Qin Wu's power was clearly three times stronger than before. In other words, Qin Wu hadn't used his full strength from beginning to end, yet he was already capable of fighting me.
Regardless of Qin Wu's true intentions, the moment he unleashed the Heart-Piercing Nail, the nature of the battle changed, giving Qin Wu time to deliver the fatal blow.
Even if he had figured all of this out, it was all meaningless now.
A few breaths later, Yang Xu collapsed heavily to the ground, while Tai Xuzi suddenly stood up and roared, "Qin Wu, how dare you kill a disciple of Kunlun Ruins!"
Not only Taixuzi, but all the other Kunlun Ruins disciples also looked furious, as if they wanted to devour Qin Wu. However, Qin Wu simply stood there, his expression unchanged.
Seeing this, Taixuzi moved like a dragon, charging straight at Qin Wu. If this attack were to hit, even with Qin Wu's current strength, he would surely die without a burial place.
However, Qin Wu remained calm, because he believed someone would stop him. Just as Taixuzi had rushed in front of Qin Wu, a pair of strong hands blocked Qin Wu's path, directly meeting Taixuzi's attack.
Cang Xuanwu stood before Qin Wu, his gaze fixed on Taixuzi, and then coldly spoke:
"Old fool, do you really think there's no one in Tianwu Mountain?"
"Just now, it was your Kunlun Ruins disciple who launched the sneak attack first. If that piercing nail had hit, it would probably be a disciple of my Tianwu Mountain now. Qin Wu acted rashly in response, and it was a desperate measure."
"fart!"
At this moment, Taixuzi no longer possessed any air of otherworldly grace. He roared angrily and then said:
"This kid is hiding his strength. He didn't have this much power when he made his move before, but in the blink of an eye, his strength has increased by at least 30%. How can he hide his strength like this without a conspiracy?"
If he had possessed this power all along, how could he have accidentally killed a disciple of Kunlun Ruins?
"Ha ha!"
Cang Xuanwu laughed heartily, then said disdainfully:
"What? Since when do we have to use our full strength every time we step into the ring?"
There are still quite a few people in Kunlun Ruins. My disciples from Tianwu Mountain are hiding some of their strength, waiting for what happens next. What do you have to say?
Even if you're hiding your strength, that's still the skill of a disciple of Tianwu Mountain. How dare you act so arrogantly here?
Taixuzi's face was contorted with rage, his eyes fixed on Qin Wu, his heart bleeding. The disciple who had just died was the most talented of their generation in Kunlun Ruins, yet he had perished at Qin Wu's hands.
Especially since Qin Wu had previously made some outrageous remarks about him, causing him to lose face in front of the entire Kunlun Ruins and even the entire martial arts community. Under these circumstances, his hatred for Qin Wu could no longer be concealed.
Just as the two sides were at an impasse, the Lord of Tianwu Mountain spoke up with a smile:
"Fellow Daoist Taixu, I think we should leave this matter here. In a duel on the arena, life and death are determined by fate. It is understandable that Qin Wu killed Yang Xu, especially since it was a disciple of your Kunlun Ruins who struck first."
Although the Lord of Tianwu Mountain had a smile on his face, Taixuzi trembled the moment he heard these words, and then stopped unwillingly. He could disregard Cang Xuanwu because Cang Xuanwu's strength was superior to his own. If they were to fight to the death, he was confident that he could kill Cang Xuanwu even if he was seriously injured.
But the Lord of Tianwu Mountain is not like that.
The strength of the Lord of Tianwu Mountain is a mystery; no one knows exactly what level he has reached.
The only certainty is that the Heavenly Martial Mountain Master intervened, preserving the last vestiges of the Heavenly Martial Mountain's resources. Otherwise, the Heavenly Martial Mountain would likely no longer exist.
Therefore, if I really anger the Lord of Tianwu Mountain, I may not be able to leave Tianwu Mountain today.
"Great, excellent!"
Taixuzi gritted his teeth and said, "Since that's the case, let's continue in the arena."
After speaking, Taixuzi returned to his seat.
However, at this moment, the two sides were already on the verge of exchanging blows. Anyone with eyes could see that the next match would probably be very different from the previous one. This time, death and injury were inevitable when they stepped onto the stage again.
In particular, the many disciples of Tianwu Mountain understood that Tianwu Mountain could not easily stop the arena, otherwise, they would lose face.
However, if the fighting continues, many will likely die on the stage today. Even so, the disciples of Tianwu Mountain remain resolute.
Cang Xuanwu then looked at Qin Wu and said:
"Qin Wu, you should come down and rest for a while."
He knew very well that Qin Wu was now being targeted by Kunlun Ruins, and if the fight continued, it would be a fight to the death. He naturally couldn't let such a talented disciple face that situation so easily.
Therefore, even if other disciples might suffer greater losses, he absolutely could not allow Qin Wu to continue fighting.
However, his voice had barely faded when Taixuzi's voice rang out:
"Besides this kid, are there any other people from Tianwu Mountain?"
He wore a mocking expression, then pointed to the six True Qi Realm disciples behind him:
"This time, Kunlunxu has also sent six disciples who have reached the True Qi Realm. If your Tianwu Mountain can defeat these six disciples of Kunlunxu, then Kunlunxu will bow down and admit defeat in this arena."
"But in my opinion, your Tianwu Mountain probably can't even produce one True Qi cultivator, let alone six. If you send him down, are you planning to use the lives of your other disciples to make up for it?"
Taixuzi's words struck a chord with everyone at Tianwu Mountain.
Although these words were sarcastic, Tianwu Mountain had no choice but to admit them, because what he said was true; Tianwu Mountain simply couldn't produce a single disciple who had reached the True Qi Realm.
Zhao Longhu glanced at Cang Xuanwu, then gritted his teeth and said:
"Elder, let me go. In this situation, we absolutely cannot let Junior Brother Qin continue fighting. But if we send in an ordinary disciple, then Tianwu Mountain will lose all face."
With Junior Brother Qin here, I, Zhao Longhu, would not regret dying. Even if we are defeated today, one day Junior Brother Qin will surely lead Tianwu Mountain to rise again.
After Zhao Longhu stepped forward, several other disciples followed suit without hesitation. They were all at different levels of cultivation, but their eyes were filled with determination.
Cang Xuanwu took a deep breath, knowing that the time had come when he had to make a decision.
But at that moment, a cold voice rang out from the arena:
"We weren't satisfied with the fight just now, so let's invite the next Kunlunxu disciple to the stage."
Everyone looked towards Qin Wu.
The expression on Tianwu Mountain Master's face also changed somewhat:
"Nonsense! You've already fought one match, go and rest now."
Qin Wu is now the hope of their entire Tianwu Mountain, how can they let Qin Wu take risks?
However, Qin Wu showed no intention of leaving. He simply stood there quietly, watching the people of Kunlun Ruins.
Taixuzi's face finally showed joy.
He thought Qin Wu would leave, and if that happened, he wouldn't be able to do anything due to the rules of the arena. But he never expected Qin Wu to be so foolish as to stay standing there.
Then his gaze swept over the many disciples behind him who had reached the True Qi realm, and he spoke:
"Whoever can kill him, I will personally petition the Lord of Kunlun Ruins for credit."
His voice wasn't loud, only the disciples of Kunlun Ruins could hear him clearly. After hearing his words, the Kunlun Ruins disciples who had been somewhat hesitant became excited one by one.
If they succeed, it means they will never lack resources in Kunlun Ruins again, so taking some risks for this is certainly worthwhile.
"Elder, I'll go!"
One of the disciples stepped forward first. Although he was no match for Yang Xu in terms of direct strength, he did possess some methods of killing.
Taixuzi said nothing, only nodded, signaling him to go up on stage. His purpose was simple: he didn't care whether this disciple could kill Qin Wu or not. As long as Qin Wu was still standing there, he would keep sending disciples up until Qin Wu was killed.
If Qin Wu dies here today, he will not hesitate to sacrifice all these disciples before him.
Because he vividly remembered Qin Wu's strength when he first met him. In just a few months, Qin Wu had already reached this level.
This boy is a huge threat to the entire Kunlun Ruins, and they will stop at nothing to kill Qin Wu.
