Chapter 1142: Putting On a Fierce Tiger Pelt
Chapter 1142: Putting On a Fierce Tiger Pelt
"Interesting…" Nether Mystery curled his lips, "Little kid, you haven’t even stepped onto the path of the True King and yet you dare to provoke me? Are you not afraid of death?"
Cloud Boundless’ face paled. As he opened his mouth, every word he said caused him to pale even further.
Kacha –
Kacha –
His body creaked as if he was shouldering a mountain and was about to be crushed beneath its weight.
This was the strength of an Abyssal True King, someone who obtained the approval of the abyss’ will…to a degree, they could be considered a part of the abyss.
With just a thought, he could summon vast and immense strength, quietly destroying him.
"Death. Of course I fear it. But this is my Nightmare Ancestral Land. Even if Your Excellency is a True King, no affront can be allowed." Cloud Boundless’ words were slow and clear. His eyes shined with an incomparably bright and persistent light.
"You want to help him delay for time." Nether Mystery shook his head, "It’s useless. I won’t give you the chance."
He paused and then pressed a hand forward, "You have much courage. For this reason, I will not kill you. So be quiet."
Bang –
Space fiercely shook. Cloud Boundless stiffened and suddenly fell to the ground. Blue veins bulged on his neck. No matter how much he tried to summon his strength, he couldn’t shake off the shackles of suppression on him.
This was the terror of a True King!
At this moment, Nether Mystery turned and looked at Qin Yu once more. Whether it was from his anger or his need to guarantee that Xi Mo obtained the throne, he had to kill him.
One of the reasons he didn’t kill Cloud Boundless was that he appreciated his courage. And another reason was that he didn’t want to deepen his hatred and become enemies with the Old King’s Lineage.
But that didn’t mean Nether Mystery was afraid of killing people…on the contrary, if he needed to, so what if he killed everyone on the Chosen Platform today?
Pitch black eyes like ink, free of all impurities. Welcoming King Mystery’s gaze, Qin Yu’s heart began to race.
Fear flooded his body like a tide, crazily attacking his mind. His complexion paled even more than Cloud Boundless’, and there was no sign of blood on his face.
But deep within his eyes, he still retained his calm as he looked at an Abyssal True King.
It wasn’t because he was incredibly brave that he was able to accomplish this, nor did he believe he had the qualifications to fight against an Abyssal True King.
The true reason was that Qin Yu had determined that whether it was Qi Zhen sleeping in his shadow or the hidden Thousandhonor Marquis, neither of them would watch on and do nothing as King Mystery killed him.
Otherwise, their plans would come to nothing…taking a step back, even if they didn’t do anything, he still had the little blue lamp.
Only those with confidence could resist fear. It was that simple.
King Mystery furrowed his eyebrows. His senses were sharp, so he could easily perceive Qin Yu’s fear and calm.
What was this junior relying on? Facing the solemn True King boundary, he could still be so calm.
Although it was recognized through the abyss that everyone beneath a True King were just ants, it didn’t mean that a True King could run amok and do whatever they wanted.
With scruples, King Mystery’s eyes suddenly turned deep and profound. His powerful perception was raised to the highest level as he locked onto Qin Yu.
The stronger one was, the more they understood and thus the more awe they had towards the world…when there was a choice in a situation, it was never wrong to be cautious.
Then, King Mystery’s complexion slightly changed. He could really feel an unusual aura coming from Qin Yu’s body.
No, it wasn’t just one…two…three…and even more…
King Mystery’s gaze became dignified. Because while he could sense these auras, he couldn’t clearly capture them.
Obscure, ethereal…powerful!
That’s right, they were powerful. The two deepest hidden auras even made him feel an intense sense of threat!
If he hadn’t personally sensed these auras himself, he never would have believed that a mere Demon Commander level junior would be hiding so many astonishing secrets.
His eyes flashed. King Mystery looked at Blue Sea and suddenly had an idea.
"You. Kill him, and I will permit you to live."
Blue Sea stiffened and his complexion paled. He never thought that things would suddenly shift to him. He certainly wanted to kill Qin Yu. In fact, it could be said that out of everyone here, he wanted Qin Yu to die the most.
But, the key issue was that Qin Yu possessed the Abyssal Gaze and wasn’t easy to kill. Unless he used…but that was his hidden trump card. Only when he entered the ancestral land could he display it. That would be his final opportunity!
He took a deep breath. Beneath his robes, his five fingers tightly clenched together.
Kacha –
A breaking sound spread out. In the next moment, space distorted outside the Chosen Platform and a terrifyingly oppressive aura appeared.
Outside the Chosen Platform, the Ancient King Patriarch, Old King Patriarch, and the New Faction’s Red Fringe all changed their complexions. They looked up and stared at the void. From a black crack, horrifyingly sharp claws stretched out. The claws grabbed both edges and ruthlessly ripped to the side. Then, a dragon head drilled out.
"Abyssal Demon Dragon!" They shouted out together.
Hou –
A huge dragon’s body broke free from the distorted space. Without hesitation, it slammed into the distorted space outside the Chosen Platform.
The Abyssal Demon Dragon didn’t release any strength at all. By relying only on its powerful body, it could resist the tearing force of the distorted space.
"I have arrived through invitation
The chilling voice reverberated through the skies. The Ancient King Patriarch, Old King Patriarch, and Red Fringe all had incomparably ugly expressions, but they still stood there like before.
Not to mention the fact that the Demon Dragon Clan was a terrifying tribe that stood at the very peak of the entire abyss, and was far more formidable than the Nightmare Clan, none of them were a match for the strength of this demon dragon in front of them.
Stop him…? It wasn’t hard to imagine what the result would be…moreover, there wasn’t much resistance in their hearts.
The inheritance of the throne was already chaotic to begin with this time, so what if a demon dragon was included? At most, it would cause the situation to spiral even further out of control.
Perhaps this would be even more beneficial to them. They could see how the ancestral land would react next…and force out its secrets!
Bang –
The distorted space was torn apart. The Abyssal Demon Dragon intruded onto the Chosen Platform. Its immense figure released an aura that shook the heart.
A giant pair of dragon eyes locked onto King Mystery. The demon dragon slowly said, "King Mystery, we meet again."
Nether Mystery furrowed his eyebrows before composing himself. "Elder Ao Fa, the Demon Dragon Clan is already so powerful, so why must you interfere in today’s matter?"
The Abyssal Demon Dragon lightly said, "The Nether Royal Bloodline is interested in the secrets of the Nightmare Ancestral Land, and my Demon Dragon Clan is also the same."
King Mystery’s eyebrows furrowed even further. "Elder Ao Fa, is it possible to take a step back? My Nether Clan will pay a deep enough price."
"I have already arrived and this is my stance. King Mystery, why speak so much?" With a flash of demonic energy, the terrifying demon dragon vanished from sight. Elder Ao Fa landed on the Chosen Platform.
Blue Sea bowed, "I greet the Elder!"
He was the one who crushed the contract and summoned the Abyssal Demon Dragon. It was impossible to conceal this and he had no intention of concealing it.
If he could succeed today then he would be the new Nightmare King. No matter what he did, it would disappear into the past and no one would question him about it.
If he failed…perhaps death would be the best result. If so, of course there was no need to have any more scruples.
Elder Ao Fa said, "Since I came today, I will guarantee that you can smoothly enter the Nightmare Ancestral Land…but, I hope you don’t forget the agreement between us."
Blue Sea respectfully said, "Elder, rest assured that I shall never forget!"
"Humph!" King Mystery coldly snorted, a gloomy look on his face. However, he and Elder Ao Fa had fought once before in the past. He knew their strengths were about equal and there was nothing he could do to him.
Blue Sea entering the ancestral land was a reality. He turned and looked at Xi Mo. This demon that came from an ordinary background had a calm expression, "King Mystery, please rest assured. The throne will surely belong to me."
From the time he had no name, he had crawled up this far step by step, even obtaining the approval of the Nether Royal Bloodline so he could finally enter the Chosen Platform.
It was naturally impossible for Xi Mo, who preferred silence, to be as ordinary as he appeared on the surface.
Blue Sea had a final method to struggle, and so did he…the throne was right in front of them. They would see who would be the one to leap up and instantly become a peak existence of the abyss.
At that time, whether it was the Nether Royal Bloodline or Abyssal Demon Dragon Clan…they would not have the qualifications to continue manipulating them!
But all of this was based on the premise that they killed Qin Yu. Otherwise there would be no chance for them to enter the ancestral land.
Xi Mo bowed, "King Mystery, please kill Qin Yu. We do not have much time left!"
The vortex above their heads had nearly taken shape. One could faintly see the channel forming within.
That was the great path to enter the Nightmare Ancestral Land!
King Mystery was without expression. He glanced at Elder Ao Fa, "This junior is hiding many obscure internal auras. If we join together, we can kill him with absolute safety."
It was impossible for him to attack on his own. Since this old demon dragon was meddling in his affairs, he also had to share the risks.
If two King level existences attacked, even if Qin Yu had a great secret, he wouldn’t be able to escape death.
Elder Ao Fa was silent. He looked at Qin Yu with a complex expression.
He indeed never imagined that he would meet Qin Yu again here.
Killing him…
The contract was still in the boy’s hand. Before it was completed, he couldn’t attack.
Cough cough…taking a step back, even if he could pay a price to attack Qin Yu, he would have to consider this over and over.
After all, this boy Qin Yu was someone that Miss Feature asked him to look after.
And Feature…although she had vanished, if he really killed Qin Yu, Elder Ao Fa didn’t believe he would emerge safe and sound.
Seeing the old demon dragon’s complex mood, Qin Yu took a step forward and cupped his hands together, "Elder Ao Fa, we meet again. Before Feature left, she asked me to give her regards to you."
Elder Ao Fa’s lips twitched. Even a fool could tell that Qin Yu was lying about these ‘regards’.
But did it matter? Feature’s existence was like a mountain. Unless he really didn’t care about the consequences, he couldn’t ignore it.
"Qin Yu, I will give face to Miss Feature and not kill you…so, withdraw."
Qin Yu looked up and stared straight into Elder Ao Fa’s eyes. "Becoming the new Nightmare King is the mission that Feature gave to me. If Elder asks me to withdraw, I believe she will not be happy."
Elder Ao Fa frowned. He stared at Qin Yu, trying to see if he was speaking the truth.
Feature’s mission?
What did she want to do? Could the secrets within the Nightmare Ancestral Land have aroused her interest?
That’s right, although Elder Ao Fa was suspicious of Qin Yu’s words, the truth was that he mostly believed it.
If not for Feature’s careful arrangements, what qualifications would Qin Yu have to enter the Chosen Platform and compete for the throne of Nightmare King?
And if Feature really had planned this out…then this was troublesome. Ruining her plans might lead to consequences even more serious than killing Qin Yu.
King Mystery’s eyes clouded over with uncertainty as he looked at the silent Elder Ao Fa. He had no idea who Feature was, but it was clear that this old dragon Ao Fa dreaded her beyond comparison.
Perhaps out of the formidable threatening auras he sensed on Qin Yu’s body, one of them came from her!
This was troublesome!
He took a deep breath and said, "Elder Ao Fa, this junior is now the only person who has obtained the approval of the Nightmare Ancestral Land. If he doesn’t work with us, both our plans will fail."
None of them were idiots. King Mystery calmly reconfigured a key point without hesitation – he no longer wanted to kill Qin Yu, but wanted his cooperation.
Ao Fa understood King Mystery’s meaning. His eyes flashed and he said, "Qin Yu, I can agree if you wish to enter the ancestral land. But, the people we have chosen will enter together with you."
This was his bottom line.
Qin Yu nodded without hesitation, "Alright."
Blue Sea and Xi Mo both looked at Qin Yu, dread in their eyes. But they didn’t say anything, because this conversation had surpassed the level at which they could participate.
The reason Qin Yu was able to bargain back and forth, even forcing Elder Ao Fa and King Mystery to make concessions, was because he was wearing an extremely large and scary tiger pelt.
Feature’s origins were truly extraordinary. And after today’s matter, he clearly owed her another favor.
"After entering the ancestral land, kill Qin Yu no matter the cost!" King Mystery’s voice echoed in Xi Mo’s ears. Xi Mo calmly nodded, and then glanced at the not too far away Blue Sea.
Their eyes met for a brief moment, but this short period was enough to come to an agreement – Qin Yu had to die!
Otherwise, even if the two of them smoothly entered the ancestral land, with his bloodline intensity the throne was already his!
Qin Yu had a calm expression. He didn’t pay attention to Blue Sea and Xi Mo, but it wasn’t difficult to guess what they were thinking. Their thoughts were correct, but the result might not turn out as they hoped.
