The person hiding in the shadows who exposed him…who could it be?
Qing`er, Jun Mengchen, Nanfeng Yunxi. Those who knew of Qin Wentian’s identity all felt their hearts trembling as a feeling of unease appeared. Although before this, Qin Wentian also had quite a few enemies. But after using the identity as the Saber-Sword Immortal King, he killed plenty of people from major powers, Zi Daolong, people from the Taihua Immortal Dynasty, Skymist Immortal Empire, and Paragon Sword Sect, etc. Among these, he undoubtedly offended the Senluo Immortal Empire the most. He had slain their crown prince, the Yama King.
From this point, the pressure on Qin Wentian, who had his identity exposed, could very well be imagined. In the future, it wouldn’t just be the Violet Emperor and the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor who wanted to hunt him down. No matter how vast the immortal realms are, nobody would be able to protect him. Not even the Southern Phoenix Matriarch.
“Qin Wentian.” As expected, the eyes of the disciples of the Violet Emperor all gleamed with sharpness. The people from the Skymist Immortal Empire, the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire and other major powers, all stared coldly at the Saber-Sword Immortal King.
If the Saber-Sword Immortal King really was Qin Wentian. Then, there can be no way for them to allow him to continue surviving. He had actually already grown to such a terrifying extent now.
This was truly tough to believe. But even so, many in the crowd believed that this news was real. The Saber-Sword Immortal King must be Qin Wentian. The area around his face had a mysterious aura, and everyone knew that his cultivation has something to do with illusions. Now, it seems like it was to conceal his identity. Also, Qin Wentian’s fiancee Evergreen Qing`er was in the city, Jun Mengchen was here, Nanfeng Yunxi was here, and even his demonic companion was here. What about he himself?
Also in the battle before this, although the pretext of the Saber-Sword Immortal King acting to help out, was for the sake of humans in the immortal realms. Right now, in hindsight, it was because he wanted to help Evergreen Qing`er. By destroying the demons from the three races, was he helping Qing`er to vent her anger? No one here was a fool. When they connected the dots, all of them felt their hearts trembling.
Hence, everyone felt that this might be real.
“Who is the one speaking sneakily in the shadows. Did this seat offend you?” Qin Wentian coldly snorted. His palms continued slamming towards Jia Huangtian.
“Just take off your mask and the truth will be revealed. Right now, although you masked the power behind your attack, other than God’s Hand, I truly have no way to imagine what other innate technique there is in the immortal realms that’s so similar to this. Or don’t tell us that you created this palm attack? Also, where did you originate from? There was no mention of any Saber-Sword Immortal King in the immortal realms before this.” That voice continued from the void, echoing through the area. Everyone stare closely at Qin Wentian’s attack. Indeed, now that they were looking carefully, they could see a shadow of God’s Hand within.
“No wonder he dared to be so lawless and kill so many experts. So it turned out that he was hiding his real identity. Once he exits the City of Ancient Emperors, the Saber-Sword Immortal King would vanish forever. Who would be able to find him for revenge?” The void beast who was standing far away coldly spoke. “It’s very easy to see if he’s Qin Wentian or not. We can directly deal with Evergreen Qing`er.”
As the sound of his voice faded, numerous gazes instantly turned to Qing`er. At this moment, the people of Matriarch Ji’s sect were suddenly faced with many powerful enemies. Immortal King Junyi had a complicated expression on her face. So it turned out that the Saber-Sword Immortal King was Qin Wentian? She naturally believed so. Because, from the start, the Saber-Sword Immortal King had already hinted that he was interested in Qing`er. So this was the reason why. Seems like her feelings were all her one-sided wishful thinking.
At this instant, Qin Wentian understood that there was no way for him to continue concealing his identity. A cold light flashed in his eyes. The person who exposed him must die. This man was intentionally pushing him into a hell where there was no reprieve.
“Saber-Sword Immortal King. Your identity has already been exposed. Why are you still not letting me go?” Jia Huangtian’s voice was low, extremely weak even. He was enduring this through great pain as the nirvanic flames kept healing him. As long as these flames doesn’t cease, his life would never end.
Qin Wentian’s cold eyes swept over to Jia Huangtian. Inside his immeasurably deep eyes, an intense killing intent flared.
“KILL!”
As his voice rang out, the power of God’s Hand blasted forth. Numerous runes sparkled, transforming their shapes as a burst of divine glow illuminated the surroundings. The true God’s Hand appeared, breaking apart all energy, shattering everything. Jia Huangtian howled, “Saber-Sword Immortal King, ARE YOU COURTING DEATH?!”
Qin Wentian’s eyes glowed with a fearsome killing intent, brimming with soul energy. With a thunderous bang, Jia Huangtian’s nirvanic flames were snuffed out. His gigantic body was destroyed bit by bit. Yet another character that stood at the peak died in the Saber-Sword Immortal King’s hands. Regardless of whether the Saber-Sword Immortal King was Qin Wentian or not, he can already be proud of his accomplishments.
Countless experts among the spectators froze. Even after his identity was revealed, he still chose to go ahead and kill Jia Huangtian?!
They all only saw Qin Wentian turning his head, staring coldly at the void beast who said to target Qing`er. With just a single glance, that void beast shuddered. He suddenly felt a chill taking over his body, as an intense unease appeared in his heart.
“Bzz~” The supreme void beast was extremely decisive. Spatial energy erupted forth as he stepped into the void, wanting to flee right away.
Qin Wentian didn’t say anything, he immediately grabbed out with his hand. His hand that resembled the hands of gods, broke through the void. That void beast, who was still within, suddenly felt a huge burst of suppressive energy boring down on him. There seemed to be shadows of countless pagodas pressing on him. When he lifted his head, he saw a giant palm imprint covering everything, blotting out the sky.
Great terror painted his countenance as he frenziedly tried to escape. He continued twisting through the void, but that suppressive pressure greatly slowed his movements. The divine hand of god pressed down, blocking his path and eventually captured him.
“BOOM!” The fingers of the palm crushed. That void beast didn’t even have the time to scream and instantly got smashed into smithereens. What a miserable ending. The angered Saber-Sword Immortal King struck fear in the hearts of all the spectators. That void beast stepped into the void and had already fled very far away. But even so, he was still killed in the end.
All of this was because he said a sentence he shouldn’t have said.
The void beast initially thought that Qin Wentian would definitely be extremely miserable after he said that and many experts would attack him en masse. However, he didn’t expect that Qin Wentian, after his identity was revealed, would be even more terrifying than the Saber-Sword Immortal King. Right now, Qin Wentian seemed to have no more worries. Since he already offended so many major powers and even killed the demons of the three races, why would he care if he killed more people?
The Saber-Sword Immortal King used his words to exhibit his arrogance. He would always display it before he started a massacre. But now, Qin Wentian who was exposed and truly angered, didn’t even say a single sentence and acted directly, killing Jia Huangtian and the supreme void beast.
As his gaze swept past, those earlier who wanted to make a move against Qing`er, all froze there. Who would still dare to act recklessly? That would simply be courting death.
In the vast space here, a gentle wind gusted, and it could be clearly heard. From this, one could see how quiet this place was at this moment.
Qin Wentian glanced at everyone. He lowered his head slightly and his hand swiped past his face. A moment later, after he inclined his head, a handsome and extraordinary countenance was revealed. The lines of his face were clear, his eyes flashed with coldness and was immeasurably deep, like a sea of stars. Qin Wentian then slowly spoke. “That’s right. This seat is Qin Wentian!”
Silence descended onto this space. The Saber-Sword Immortal King was actually none other than a hidden identity of Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect of the eastern regions, the son-in-law of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Once, he had displayed his talent and managed to ascend to the peak of the Demongod Mountain and was sneaked attacked by the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and the Violet Emperor. To save him, the Southern Phoenix Matriarch intervened, the resulting effect sending him away to an unknown location.
Qin Wentian had been missing for so many years. So it turned out now that he had long entered the City of Ancient Emperors using the identity of the Saber-Sword Immortal King. His name resounded famously throughout the city and he became someone that stood at the peak. He killed the Yama King, the crown prince of the Senluo Immortal Empire, he killed Jia Huangtian of the phoeroc race, Zi Daolong, the son of the Violet Emperor, many experts from the Taihua Immortal Dynasty and the greater demons of the three demonic races.
Those who had grudges with Qin Wentian were all trembling intensely now, their hearts filled with tidal-waves of fear. In these short few tens of years, Qin Wentian had already matured to such a terrifying extent? Only a scarce few at the immortal king level would be able to stand equally against him.
If they didn’t kill him now. After he enters the emperor realm, the number of people who could suppress him would be fewer and fewer.
Before this, he was already somewhat famous, but his cultivation base was too low. But now, he had truly grown and had matured so quickly and suddenly. This point created a huge rush of impact to those from the Violet Mountain. Before this, they knew that Zi Daoyang’s death had a connection with Qin Wentian. Zi Daolong went to seek him out, wanting to capture him but years later, Zi Daolong actually died in his hands. If the Violet Emperor knew about this, one can only wonder what his feelings would be.
In the location where the experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire were at, the countenance of Huang Jiutian grew extremely unsightly. However, the one who was most shocked, was none other than Huang Shatian who was now at the peak-phase of the mid-stage of the immortal king realm. He cultivated so assiduously but that man was still so far ahead of him. Not only so, it seemed that Qin Wentian was climbing further and further upwards, with greater speed. No one in his entire Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, including him, was able to catch up to Qin Wentian.
The disciples from the Heavenly Talisman Realm were shocked as well. But they soon recovered. The maidens from the Southern Phoenix Clan were also surprised. They glanced at Nanfeng Yunxi, no wonder Nanfeng Yunxi would always have that look in her eyes when she stared at the Saber-Sword Immortal King.
The people from Matriarch Ji’s sect glanced at Qing`er, an understanding was in their hearts. They then turned to Junyi, only to see Junyi was also looking at Qing`er.
“I’m sorry, Senior sister, I didn’t have any bad intentions when we hid the truth from you.” Qing`er spoke in a light voice.
“Qing`er, senior sister understands.” Immortal King Junyi smiled as she nodded, maintaining her elegant self. Although she felt some hurt, but things truly couldn’t be blamed on Qing`er. How could she not understand how sensitive Qin Wentian’s identity was? Qing`er was deeply in love with Qin Wentian, she naturally wouldn’t have exposed him. Although she also understood this, there was still an unknown depressed feeling in her heart when she glanced at that magnificent figure. But gradually, a smile eventually appeared on her face as she decided to try and forget everything.
Such a character was truly worthy for her junior sister Qing`er to love. It was only natural that she would fall for him when she had no idea that the Saber-Sword Immortal King was Qin Wentian.
In the direction where the devil cultivators gathered, many experts from the Judiciary Devil Hall were together. Among them, a beautiful figure in priestess robes stared at that magnificent character as she smiled and called out, “Wentian gege!”
