Chapter 1249: Thoughts of the Devil King
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The expression of the Blackstone Devil King turned cold when he heard these words. "Brother Black Jiao, Qin Wentian is the first-ranked devil general under me. You make it sound as though you will kill him. Isn't that the same as smacking my face?"
"Brother Blackstone, that's wrong of you to assume so. The devil generals under you are all extremely brave but the subordinates under me are extraordinary as well. In the past when they spared, life and death was determined by their strength on the battlefield. This time around, things naturally will be the same as well. I believe the generals under me are stronger." The Black Jiao Devil King laughed. "In addition, if this first devil general is weak, how can he be worthy of Yuruo? Just as well, I will be the judge his strength for you."
"Seems like Brother Black Jiao obtained some powerful subordinates again." The Blackstone Devilking calmly spoke. The island this Black Jiao Devil King governs was a neighbouring island to his own. Many years ago, there was already conflict between them, leading to many battles. Although they were now sitting with each other, enjoying wine and chatting, their mutual dislike for each other was extremely great.
After that, the Black Jiao Devil King somehow managed to gain the favor of an extremely powerful character in the Fallen Devil Region, and borrowed the momentum to suppress him. That powerful character even adopted him as a foster son, causing the Black Jiao Devil King to grow even more arrogant, frequently coming over to provoke and kill people from his island. For every challenge battle they had, the Blackstone Devil King lost more than he won.
"That's only natural. Even if we leave aside the fact that my son is getting closer and closer to the devil-king realm, even all his subordinates are extremely powerful. Look at this expert, he is a greater demon from the saint beast tribe, the white tiger race. I'm afraid that he alone is sufficiently powerful to defeat all of your generals." The Black Jiao Devil King laughed uproariously, his words not polite at all.
"Haha, that might not be so, there are plenty of formidable experts among my generals as well. Brother Black Jiao, you best be prepared." The Blackstone Devil King calmly replied, while exuding a formless pressure. Between their conversations, their auras were so great that even the wine tables at the banquet were shaking.
"Since this is the case, how about spectating a battle to heighten the atmosphere, just like in the past? The rules will be the same." The Black Jiao Devil King coldly spoke.
"Sure." The Blackstone Devil King straightforwardly agreed.
"Since he is the first devil general, he should participate right?" The Black Jiao Devil King pointed at Qin Wentian.
"Naturally." The Blackstone Devil King coldly spoke.
"I'm the guest while you are the host. In that case, your side can send out someone first." The Black Jiao Devil King directly spoke.
"It's only normal for the host to allow the guests to make the first move. Brother Jiao, please select your people." How would the Blackstone Devil King be so easily tricked?
"Brother Blackstone actually doesn't have the courage? Since this is the case, fine then, I will send out someone first." The Black Jiao Devil King icily remarked. After which, an expert walked forth. The demonic qi gushing forth from this person was extremely terrifying. His original form was a jiao as well, and his combat prowess was terrifying.
The Blackstone Devil King glanced at Blood Butcher. For the first battle, he planned to send out the second devil general to fight it.
"Devil king." At this moment, Qin Wentian suddenly spoke. The Blackstone Devil King glanced at him only to hear him speaking, "For the first battle, let's hand it over to Xuan Ting. I believe that given Xuan Ting's strength, he would be able to gain a huge victory for our side."
The devil king glanced at Qin Wentian. That saint beast white tiger would surely be very powerful, and there was still the jiao prince to contend against. For these two other opponents, he initially decided to send Qin Wentian and Xuan Ting to match them.
Hence, this led to his decision to choose Blood Butcher for this battle.
Could it be that Qin Wentian wanted to send Xuan Ting out to secure this round and after that, he will win another battle and gain face from that?
"Fine. Xuan Ting, are you able to secure victory?" The Blackstone Devil King glanced at Xuan Ting who stood behind him.
The ex first devil general Xuan Ting now had retracted his sharpness. When he heard the devil king's words, he nodded and replied, "I will win for sure."
"Good, you will battle then." The devil king laughed. After which, Xuan Ting walked to the battlefield, facing his opponent.
"So the first battle will be fought by Xuan Ting from your side. What about the other two?" The Black Jiao Devil King swept his gaze towards Qin Wentian, as well as the third princess Yuruo.
"Yuruo, I've always been respectful to you. Why are you following this trash of a man? I'm the only son of destiny, your chosen one." The devilish young man's eyes gleamed with a fearsome light when he saw Yan Yuruo leaning against Qin Wentian. A disgusting thought surfaced in his mind, since this cheap woman wanted to seduce other guys, in that case, he will make her suffer a fate worse than death if she landed in his hands.
"He is my man." The devilish female softly leaned against Qin Wentian, as though she was thoroughly enamored by him. A loving smile appeared on her face, causing the devilish young man to feel extremely dissatisfied. He wanted nothing more than to trample on her, and destroy her.
"Yuruo, just you wait." That young man had an evil smile on his face. There were naturally deeper layers of meaning behind his words.
The ex first devil general and the person sent out by the Black Jiao Devil King were already battling, as rumbling sounds echoed from the collisions of their blows. Dark golden devil might filled the sky as a fearsome sharpness engulfed everything. Qin Wentian slowly sipped his wine, yet his thoughts were on another thing instead.
He was thinking that since he and that white tiger could reach such a state, the other participants would naturally be able to do so as well. In that case, this trip to the Fallen Devil Island might result in him encountering many familiar faces. Most probably, all of them were planning to enlist the help of the Fallen Devil Emperor to boost their chances of winning the adjudication battle.
The battle continued as many people spectated. The ex first devil general Xuan Ting was undefeatable before Qin Wentian appeared, there was naturally no need to doubt his strength. Not only did he gain victory, he even slayed his opponent in a domineering manner.
There was no change to the expression of the Black Jiao Devil King, as though everything was within his expectations. But since the Blackstone Devil King's subordinate dared to act to kill first, he will make sure the Blackstone Devil King regrets things in the next two battle rounds.
"We will have to trouble brother white tiger." The devilish young man spoke. The white tiger expert then walked out, his cold demonic eyes were staring fixedly at Qin Wentian. This young man who incurred the hatred of his whole race, let him be the one to kill this man then.
According to White-eye, this man was the instigator and told everyone to feast on white tiger meat. Since this was the case, he shall be the one eating this man today.
"Come out and accept your death." The white tiger snarled.
The devilish young man then smiled at Yuruo. "Yuruo, don't feel heartache later okay? Once he dies, I will treat you well."
Qin Wentian smiled but he didn't say anything. He continued sitting there and didn't move, with no intentions to step out to battle.
When everyone saw this, all of them frowned. Was he scared?
"Wentian." The Blackstone Devil King glanced at Qin Wentian. The third princess was staring at him as well, as though waiting for him to battle.
"He isn't worthy to fight against me." Qin Wentian calmly spoke, his words causing the white tiger to roar defiantly. Instantly, a storm of baleful energy gushed forth, engulfing the area.
"Brother white tiger don't be angered." The devilish young man laughed. He then turned to Yuruo, "Is this your man, a coward?"
"Brother Blackstone, your first devil general is such a scaredy cat?" The Black Jiao Devil King mocked.
"Reporting to devil king, there's someone outside requesting entry, saying that he's the subordinate of the first devil general who told him to come here." At this moment, a voice from outside rang out. Qin Wentian glanced at the devil king and nodded his head, "He's my man."
"Allow entry." The devil king spoke. After which, Qi Da walked over. The eyes of the white tiger flashed, he recognized that Qi Da was one of the hundred participants from the enemy alliance. There were actually two of them in this devil sect.
"Saint Lord." Qi Da walked over and bowed.
"This vile beast speaks too much crap. Kill him but don't destroy him completely. I still want to feast on his meat later." Qin Wentian spoke. His words once again causing the white tiger to howl. As for the others who were present, they were all staring at Qin Wentian in bewilderment. He told his subordinate to kill the white tiger? Has he gone mad?
Even for the third princess, she also felt that it was impossible and was staring at Qin Wentian with doubt in her eyes.
"Roger." Qi Da nodded and stepped out, walking towards the battlefield as though it was only natural.
The eyes of the Blackstone Devil King gleamed. He was a little suspicious. Would Qin Wentian fail?
"The person the Black Jiao Devil King chose wouldn't be simple. Can your subordinate handle it." Even the third princess transmitted her voice over to ask. "Also even if you evaded this round, the next round when you fight, you still have to deal with that little bastard the Jiao Prince."
"Isn't that what you want?" Qin Wentian laughed as he stared at the devilish girl. She only saw Qin Wentian's eyes gleaming with confidence. The devilish female felt as though Qin Wentian was growing more and more inscrutable. Although this fellow was badly tormented by her for a period of time, the moment combat was spoken of, he seemed to be a completely different person, filled with extreme confidence.
"If he is really so strong, even if I marry him, the choice wouldn't be bad." The devilish female mused.
At this moment, the white tiger gave a thunderous roar as baleful energy rose up into the skies. He unleashed the secret innate techniques of the white tiger race, exuding a might that could cause the sky to crumble, as his entire being was cloaked in an air of absolute annihilation.
The Blackstone Devil King's countenance changed. For truly powerful characters, one could only tell when they acted, it was useless to gauge with their eyes if that person didn't attack. And when this white tiger attacked, he already understood that even if he sent out Xuan Ting, he might not be able to win, let alone an unknown subordinate of Qin Wentian.
"BOOM!" At this instant, a fearsome battle saint light shot up into the sky, engulfing this entire space. The phantom of a divine ape manifested, standing tall and proud, radiating with a resplendent battle light as law energy circulated around it.
Only to see Qi Da lifting his palm, smashing outwards with it, replying attack with an attack of his own, clashing head-on against the saint beast white tiger.
"BOOM!" Fissures opened up on the earth as a violent wind rose. Just a single strike, the bodies of the two of them flew up into the air as they continued their combat. The experts present all raised their heads, staring at the combat in midair. The white tiger reverted to his true form and was like a god of baleful energy, while Qi Da transformed into a Battle Saint, unexcelled in this world.
The two of them used attacks against attacks, their combat was incomparably tyrannical causing even space to shudder, The people below all stared at their fight as though in a daze, while their hearts pounded wildly.
"How powerful." The third princess' heart trembled. This subordinate of Qin Wentian was actually so powerful. Even Xuan Ting and the second general Blood Butcher felt their gazes stiffen. This simply was...
Qin Wentian sipped his wine quietly. Although this white tiger expert had already gained comprehension about a trace of immortal-king might for a long time, he didn't enter the sacred academy. Qi Da was someone of the Battle Saint Tribe and had cultivated in the academy before. Ultimately, his understanding of the great dao was a step further compared to this white tiger. Hence, how would his combat prowess lose out?
"Devil king, seems like today, we would have white tiger meat to feast on, alongside with enjoying beautiful wine." Qin Wentian laughed. The Blackstone Devil King froze before he also laughed uproariously. However, he wasn't that calm in his heart.
Why would the saint beast tribe, the white tiger race, come to the Myriad Devil Islands?
Also, for Qin Wentian subordinate, he referred to Qin Wentian as Saint Lord. What background does Qin Wentian have exactly in the immortal realms?!
