Ninth In the World

Chapter 190: The Advice Of The Young Master Red Embellishment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Di Jiu was pleased. After he revealed the Heavenly Aqua, no one’s expression seemed to indicate that there was an arrest warrant for him. Most people were slightly surprised to see the red embellishments on the Heavenly Aqua’s handle.

Ren Bafei was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a moronic cultivator like Di Jiu. How dare an early-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator act so arrogantly in front of him and say that he was seeking death?

After a few seconds, he laughed. “I would like to see you make me beg for death.”

Ren Xinxuan grabbed a saber. He was about to attack Di Jiu, when Ren Bafei stopped him. “Move away. I have lived for a long time, yet this is the first time I’m seeing such a formidable early-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator. I would like to see how this formidable early-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator will make me beg for death.”

Di Jiu’s attention was not on Ren Bafei. In his opinion, Ren Bafei was a weakling. When he noticed that no one paid special attention to his Heavenly Aqua, Di Jiu lifted his hand and removed his mask. He chuckled as he told Ren Bafei, “The reason you survived to this date is because you had yet to encounter me. Now that you have met me and heard my advice, you will naturally not be able to live much longer...”

Di Jiu had never been so chatty while facing an opponent before. As he spoke, his Spiritual Force was still on the surrounding cultivators. He even turned his head around and let everyone see his face.

Although he was now revealing his face, he was pleased that no one had noticed him.

Di Jiu let out a sigh of relief. It looked like he was truly not being hunted down. Had that first-stage Golden Core Realm Cultivator not reacted to the situation, or had he yet to say anything out loud?

Di Jiu had originally intended to head to the Prophecy Island as soon as he killed everyone on the Spirit Blaze Team.

However, now that no one had recognized him, he would head back to the Five Continent City right after eliminating the Spirit Blaze Team.

He looked forward to visiting the Five Continent Dao Pagoda.

He wanted to make a name for himself, so his reputation had to spread as far as possible. Once it became so great that his name entered the Potential Roll, he would try to conquer the Sea Roll. Once he was on the Sea Roll, he would teleport to the Everlasting Domain Planet and head to the Ji Nation to take revenge.

“Die, weakling!” Ren Bafei did not care whether Di Jiu was in disguise. His twin-headed horse had already slammed towards Di Jiu. Although he did not intend to kill him, he wanted to injure Di Jiu severely and teach him what it meant to beg.

After confirming that no one knew his identity, Di Jiu looked at Ren Bafei. He did not care about the Dharma treasure Ren Bafei was slamming down at him. He just punched out as the Heavenly Aqua slashed down from the sky.

He was currently at the sixth-stage Essence Soul Realm, so he did not need to cast a technique while facing a mere ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator. He just wanted people to think that he was at the early-stage Essence Soul Realm. Actually, even if his cultivation level had truly been at the early-stage Essence Soul Realm, he would not have treated Ren Bafei seriously.

Boom! When Di Jiu’s fist landed on Ren Bafei’s Dharma treasure, Ren Bafei felt a terrifying Quintessential Essence pressure engulf him. Before he could express his terror, the Heavenly Aqua transcended this distance in space and slashed at his head.

Blood exploded immediately. Ren Bafei did not even get an opportunity to beg for mercy.

The surrounding area fell silent. Meanwhile, the air felt suffocating.

Ren Bafei was a ninth-stage Essence Soul Realm expert halfway to the Void Spirit Realm who had killed numerous cultivators in the Twilight City. However, as he faced an average early-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator, he was unable to withstand even one saber move.

Plus, this fight was taking place by the Herald Night Lake, which made it even harder to attack.

After a few seconds, Ren Xinxuan finally reacted. “Attack him together and kill him!” he hollered with red-rimmed eyes.

Most of the cultivators in the Spirit Blaze Team rushed over at Di Jiu in a frenzy along with Ren Xinxuan. However, two early-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivators started to retreat.

Di Jiu possessed the ability to kill Ren Bafei with a saber move, so even if all of them attacked him together, this would still be a suicide mission. They would have been more optimistic if this fight had not been taking place by the Herald Night Lake, as they could have attacked with their full strength. Now, they used less than 10 percent of their full strength.

When Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua created more saber flares, the entire Spirit Blaze Team was engulfed by his saber aura. No one could escape from his saber flares, regardless of whether they intended to retreat or attack him.

Blood exploded everywhere. Although the battle looked very intense, its duration was actually extremely short. The Heavenly Aqua returned to Di Jiu’s back a few seconds later.

Since he was not wanted, Di Jiu put away the saber for now. Using a saber scabbard to cover up the Heavenly Aqua was a helpless act. The Heavenly Aqua needed to be exposed in order to absorb the Heavenly Earth Essence Energy and upgrade at a faster speed.

One more saber move!

What kind of strength was this? Yin Lin’s pupils dilated. He was certain that he would be similarly unable to block Di Jiu’s saber move. He actually suspected that Di Jiu was able to stop the compression of the Spiritual Force in the area.

Fu Che waited for Di Jiu to put away the storage rings before he approached him excitedly. “Senior Di, your strength actually surpasses ours by far...”

He was not bothered by the fact that Di Jiu was in disguise.

Di Jiu laughed. “Senior? Don’t talk to me like I’m really old. We are still teammates and friends. How did you guys end up getting cornered here?”

Fu Che told Di Jiu what had happened. They had been blocked by the Spirit Blaze Team and the Twilight Team while picking Roast Divine Herbs. Meanwhile, he informed him that each of them had obtained more than 10 Roast Divine Herbs.

“Young Master Di, I have some Roast Divine Herbs here...” When he saw Di Jiu’s prowess, a mid-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator immediately took out two Roast Divine Herbs and gave them to Di Jiu. He had heard Di Jiu call himself a ‘Young Master’ just now and say that calling him ‘Senior’ made him seem old. Hence, he had taken the liberty of calling him Young Master Di.

When this Essence Soul Realm cultivator took the lead, the rest of the cultivators took out a couple of Roast Divine Herbs and formed a line. Di Jiu knew without asking that they wanted something from him.

He knew that they wanted him to stop Yin Lin.

However, he had not taken Yin Lin seriously, nor had he taken a fancy to those blue Roast Divine Herbs.

Based on his experience, Yin Lin should be able to see that Di Jiu could kill him easily.

“Keep your items. How could I gain any benefits for doing a good deed? If I hadn’t just said my name out loud accidentally, I would not even have told you who I am. When you leave this place, you should not repeat my name. I’d like to stay under the radar,” said Di Jiu as he pushed the Roast Divine Herb the cultivator had given him back.

He was certain that the more things like this he said, the faster his reputation would spread. If they got what they wanted from him, these people would definitely talk about him. After obtaining the Roast Divine Herbs, their next stop would be the Five Continent City. The Five Continent Dao Convention was currently being held in the Five Continent City, so his reputation would definitely rise.

Yin Lin’s face had turned ugly. Di Jiu walked over to him, cupped his fists and said, “Young Master Di Jiu has a piece of advice for you...”

Although Di Jiu had told everyone not to spread his name, he was constantly repeating it himself.

Before he could say anything else, Yin Lin also cupped his fists and said, “You did not have to speak this way, Daoist Di. I had no intention of seizing anyone’s Roast Divine Herbs. I just came here to take a look. Just to take a look...”

Di Jiu had actually dared kill Ren Bafei. Thus, Yin Lin believed that he would not take mercy on him. Ren Bafei’s cousin was on the Sea Roll, while he had no support whatsoever.

Di Jiu nodded his head and cupped his fists before the uneasy cultivators as he said, “In that case, we will all go our separate ways. Meeting here was fate. If anyone needs my help in the future, I will help them without hesitation. Let’s go, Brother Fu.”

“Thank you, Young Master Di!” Grateful voices were heard as all the cultivators went their separate ways, rushing out of the plain in the outer region of the Herald Night Lake as fast as they could.

Heading to the Five Continent City after obtaining the Roast Divine Herbs was their most important mission.

Just as Di Jiu had predicted, the name ‘Young Master Di’ became well-known almost instantly. At first, there were rumors about Di Jiu killing seven Essence Soul Realm experts of the Spirit Blaze Team and one early-stage Essence Soul Realm cultivator with one saber move. Among the seven experts had also been someone halfway to the Void Spirit Realm.

Later on, there were rumors that the saber flares had oppressed and killed the seven members of the Spirit Blaze Team when Young Master Di had taken out his red embellished saber. Afterwards, Young Master Di had reprimanded Yin Lin about being righteous in character and told him that greed was a self-harming act.

This way, the name “Young Master Red Embellishment” spread far and beyond. The Young Master Red Embellishment’s saber was the scariest.

However, people actually said that the scariest part of the Young Master Red Embellishment was not his saber, but his advice. He had advised Ren Bafei from the Spirit Blaze Team, yet Ren Bafei had not listened and ended up dead. He had also advised team leader Yin Lin from the Twilight Team, who had not dared do anything. No one had seen Yin Lin ever since that incident. Everyone was saying that he could have shared the same fate as Ren Bafei.

However, this was nothing. What impressed everyone was that people said that the Young Master Red Embellishment was lofty. He liked to help people, but disliked to get credit and reap any benefits.

No one even noticed how the names “Young Master Red Embellishment Di Jiu” and “Red-Embellishment Saber Warrior Di Jiu” came about.
