Chapter 593: Killing the Dao Birth Cultivator

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“I did not kill Xun Shang,” stated Di Jiu calmly. He was not very worried deep down.

If the Xun Family could crush An Tuning, then she would have been surrounded by all sides when her flying boat had landed on the square. Why would they wait until now to deal with him?

While he was speaking, Di Jiu set up nomological array flags. This fellow had at most just attained the Dao Birth. Now that Di Jiu was at the perfected Dao Modeling, even if he did not set up the Nomological Confinement Array, he reckoned that he still would not fear this person.

“Ha ha...” The Dao Birth man laughed and opened his palm to take out a Dharma treasure. At the same time, his frantic Dao Birth domain aura crushed Di Jiu. “You don’t have to explain whether you have killed him. Come to the Xun Family’s ancestral hall with me to explain.”

A few outer sect disciples in the distance had seen the movement and come out to watch. The Xun Family’s Dao Birth cultivator said loudly, “He killed the Xun Family’s disciple, Xun Shang. Don’t come out if you’re not involved. Otherwise, I will not be responsible if you get hurt.”

Upon hearing that he was from the Xun Family, those cultivators returned to their cave abodes.

How could an outer sect disciple have provoked the Xun Family?

“Who is the Xun Family to invite me over?” Di Jiu replied with a cold smile. He was prepared to kill this Dao Birth cultivator.

After he killed him, he would then go to the sect’s divine spirit herb garden to pick herbs for three days.

However, without the support of An Tuning, he could only walk away. Kill the Xun Family’s Dao Birth cultivator? He could dream on. With the support of An Tuning, after he killed this Dao Birth cultivator, he believed she would investigate the specific cause and then retaliate.

The Xun Family’s Dao Birth cultivator had been showing off his strength at the entrance of Di Jiu’s cave abode. More than one person had seen him. Since An Tuning had killed Xun Shang, this meant that she was not afraid of the Xun Family. He was in the right and he had achieved great merits for the sect. Therefore, An Tuning would surely save him. If she could not even do this, then she would not have become the Valley Master.

This Dao Birth cultivator had not expected Di Jiu to be so firm. He was stunned for a while before he said gloomily, “You’re the most rampant outer sect disciple I have ever met.”

Before he could finish, Di Jiu had struck with his Heavenly Aqua Saber.

The Xun Family’s Dao Birth cultivator nearly spit out blood from anger. Not only did Di Jiu not take him seriously, but a mere outer sect disciple had dared to attack him. He simply had a death wish.

A long sword was drawn, sweeping up endless sword flares.

Boom! The long sword’s sword flare and Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber clashed. Di Jiu snorted and waves of repression came from his chest.

Di Jiu was relieved. He had been worried that he would be far from the Dao Birth cultivator. Now, it seemed like he was on par with the Dao Birth cultivator before him. On the contrary, his Divine Essence seemed to be more condensed.

Upon seeing that Di Jiu was left unscathed by this sword flare domain, the Dao Birth cultivator was startled. He immediately raised his long sword and faint, continuous sword mountains formed.

How could Di Jiu allow his opponent to form his divine power? His Nomological Array had formed a strangulation aura that was bound toward the Dao Birth cultivator. At the same time, his Heavenly Aqua Saber had turned into a faint saber flare, striking towards his opponent’s continuously-forming sword mountains.

“A Strangulation Array?” When Di Jiu’s Strangulation Array was activated, the Xun Family’s Dao Birth cultivator sensed it and felt shocked. He had been here for several days and had checked many times. He certainly had not discovered any arrays. How had this Strangulation Array appeared all of a sudden?

Soon, he understood. This Strangulation Array seemed to have made use of a Heaven Earth Law technique. It was not set up by array flags...

How was this possible? The Dao Birth cultivator was confused. He had been prepared to injure Di Jiu seriously with one move and bring him back to the Xun Family.

However, if Di Jiu had such a Strangulation Array, he was afraid that he could not kill Di Jiu before the sect deacon came. He would not benefit if this fight with Di Jiu dragged on.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The Strangulation Array’s frantic killing intent and the Xun Family’s Dao Birth cultivator’s domain clashed, creating erupting waves of explosions.

The Dao Birth cultivator’s domain had been shattered. Why would Di Jiu let this chance go? His Order Severance Saber Move struck his sword mountain divine power. The Xun Family’s Dao Birth cultivator did not want this to drag on for too long, and neither did Di Jiu. It was best to finish this battle quickly.

The sword mountain, which seemed to have instantly lost its strength, had no more Sword Qi to strike Di Jiu’s domain. It was as if a light breeze had blown and turned it into scraps.

“My divine power law...” The Dao Birth cultivator had good foresight. Thus, he immediately understood that his sword mountain divine power had lost its law. Once his divine power lost its law, it was no longer a divine power.

In other words, Di Jiu’s saber move had shattered his sword mountain divine power law. What kind of technique was this?

The Xun Family had certainly underestimated Di Jiu. He needed to let the Xun Family know as soon as possible.

A moment later, a continuous Fist Mountain range struck him.

Due to the condensation of the fist aura, the peaks gathered and the waves became furious!

The Dao Birth cultivator couldn’t care less about Di Jiu’s Strangulation Array. The long sword in his hands suddenly swept up Divine Essence and clashed with Di Jiu’s Fist Mountain. The mountain shattered and the furious ocean collapsed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Ruptured Divine Essence once again blasted this place into a plain. When Di Jiu’s Fist Mountain was torn by the Dao Birth cultivator, Di Jiu’s Strangulation Array seriously injured him.

Why would Di Jiu let this chance go? His Heavenly Aqua Saber once again turned into a saber flare and ripped forward.

Di Jiu’s formidable domain killing aura enveloped the Dao Birth cultivator. Then, a deathly aura swept over. The Dao Birth cultivator shouted sternly, “Xun Bai, who is a member of my family, has attained the second step and has an important position in the sect. If you dare to kill me, even An Tuning won’t be able to save you...”

Pfft! A trail of blood arrows was spat out. Di Jiu’s Heavenly Aqua Saber had hacked the Dao Birth cultivator into two.

“You are nothing even though you are at the Dao Birth.” Di Jiu snorted and put away a ring. At the same time, a fireball turned the Xun Family’s Dao Birth cultivator into nothing.

This bastard had come to kill him and had tried to make use of the Xun Family’s power to suppress him. Where had this fellow acquired his superiority?

After killing this Dao Birth cultivator, Di Jiu did not stay in his cave abode. He left the Outer Sect Mountain and went directly to the Dao Evolution Herb Garden.

As far as the sect’s conflict was concerned, if An Tuning was not killed, he would be safe. Thus, Di Jiu was not surprised after killing this Dao Birth cultivator.

He had to remain calm in any situation. Since he did not have An Tuning’s communication pearl, he had no way of sending her a message. However, he was not worried. He just had to investigate this matter.

Not many people had entered the Dao Evolution Herb Garden. When Di Jiu brought An Tuning’s token to enter it, the deacon guarding the herb garden stared at Di Jiu in astonishment and eyed him.

The token to enter the herb garden was no ordinary item. Even a Valley Master like An Tuning only had one. If he wanted to obtain this token again, he had to make an extremely huge contribution to the sect.

An outer sect disciple like Di Jiu had Valley Master An’s token?

Di Jiu did not mind the herb garden’s deacon checking his token. As long as the token was real, he was not worried about not getting in.

As expected, the deacon checked it for a while. After he ensured that Di Jiu’s token was real, he then told Di Jiu, “Go in. In three days, you will automatically be teleported out.”

“Thank you.” Di Jiu did not hesitate at all before he rapidly rushed into the sect’s herb garden.

...

An Tuning knew the Sect Master would be coming out of seclusion in a few days. Thus, she kept waiting outside the cave abode.

As expected, she did not have to wait long before the Sect Master opened the cave abode. A purple-bearded, long-haired man walked out.

“Spring Evolution Valley’s An Tuning greets you, Sect Master. Congratulations on achieving a higher level of divine power.” When An Tuning saw the man walk out, she immediately stepped forward in pleasant surprise and greeted him.

“Ha ha...” The purple-bearded man laughed. “Valley Master An, you must have some issues since you’ve been waiting here. Am I right?”

“Congratulations, Sect Master, for coming out of seclusion.” Another voice was heard. Then, it added hatefully, “When you entered seclusion, An Tuning colluded with an outsider and recklessly killed the First Evolution Dao Sect’s loyal disciple.”

The purple-bearded man’s face sank. He frowned and replied, “Peak Master Wang, Valley Master An is the Valley Master of the First Evolution Dao Sect’s Spring Evolution Valley. You can’t casually say that she colluded with an outsider and killed our sect’s disciple.”

A man in gold clothes walked over in a hurry. Upon hearing the Sect Master’s words, he responded excitedly, “Sect Master, while you were in seclusion, An Tuning killed outer sect disciple Xun Shang to support an unknown outer sect disciple who had just joined our sect. One hour ago, the disciple she brought into the sect ruthlessly killed the First Evolution Dao Sect’s inner sect disciple Xun Qi...”
