This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder

Chapter 51: Wrath

It couldn’t be helped, only when a person had something to compare to would they know the true value of things. Compared to Tianyi who mysteriously appeared, Bai Tiezi would be more familiar with Roving Dragon, the legendary Sect Master of the Bliss Earth Sect. The current generation had heard tales of how he single-handedly defeated the Four Sects and created the current balance of power on Tianwei Continent.

Roving Dragon was a legend amongst the younger generation, despite his tyrannic nature many youths wanted to emulate him. Roving Dragon rising up from an ordinary mortal to his current realm caused new hope to rise up in those who had inferior talent.

Bai Tiezi was no different, he had placed Roving Dragon as his role model and goal. That all changed when his beloved was chosen to be Roving Dragon’s woman though, all admiration turned into grievance and wrath. But he was not blinded by it, seeing as the members of the Bliss Earth Sect were no longer paying attention, he moved towards Feng’er.

The members of the Bliss Earth Sect who noticed wanted to block him, but they were only able to fight against Bai Tiezi in a formation perviously. So in their disorganized state, they were not Bai Tiezi’s match at all and he made his way towards Feng’er.

“Feng’er!”

“Big brother Tie!”

Bai Tiezi froze for a moment when he felt an ominous feeling above, he looked up to see a stray golden qi making its way towards the carriage where the girls were located. He gritted his teeth and leaped into the air with a spear thrust that resembled a flood dragon flying out of the sea.

Unwavering Dragon Spear Art performed best when there was a stable foothold for the user to perform on, Bai Tiezi’s action was equivalent to weakening himself. But he had no choice, if he deflected the attack, he had a chance at survival but if the attack landed on the carriage then the girls inside would no doubt all die.

His spear struck the golden qi that was in the shape of a fist, the two briefly contested for a moment before the fist dissolved under the force of the spear. But the formless golden qi continued to blast forward and landed on Bai Tiezi’s body. Blood spurted out of Bai Tiezi’s mouth as he was launched backward. But despite his paling face, he stubbornly grasped the spear in his hand even as he crashed and skidded across the ground. Bai Tiezi had literally been buried into the ground from the force of the crash.

Such a commotion was naturally noticed by the surrounding cultivators and they all gathered their focus at where Bai Tiezi crashed. Under the upturned soil and rocks, a hand burst out and slowly a spear held by another hand was seen. Bai Tiezi also climbed out from the hole. His skin was deathly pale, a trail of blood was leaking from the corner of his lips, his hair was in disarray and his clothes had long become rags. But his eyes were incredibly sharp to the point that none of the guards dared to meet them.

Slowly Bai Tiezi made his way towards the carriage, each step was like crossing a river. His body was shaking to the point that he had to use his spear as a crutch, but no one dared to block his way. It was as if whoever blocked his path would receive a death sentence.

Feng’er stood there on the carriage with teary eyes as she saw the tragic appearance of Bai Tiezi, her hands were holding the carriage doors, but they had been sealed so it couldn’t be opened.

“Feng’er stand back.” Bai Tiezi said. The guards around the carriage had already retreated into the distance, afraid to be struck down by this death god. He held the spear in two hands and with a short thrust the carriage door was blasted apart. Feng’er jumped down from the carriage and into Bai Tiezi’s chest with tears streaming down her face.

“Big brother Tie, we are finally back.”

“Yes,” Bai Tiezi released a tranquil smile that he had not had for years. “Yes, we are.”

At this moment seeing as Bai Tiezi had lowered his guard, a foundation establishment cultivator began to cast a spell against Bai Tiezi’s defenseless back. Rage colored Bai Tiezi’s face as he felt the change of qi in the air and he furiously swirled around to see the determined look on the Bliss Earth Sect member, but before any of them could do anything, an unknown force smashed the Bliss Earth Sect member into a meat paste.

Bai Tiezi and the crowd around them stood there stunned at how a Foundation Establishment cultivator was smashed into a pulp, like a puny bug.

“Junior, we meet again.”

Bai Tiezi looked up to see a youth in black brocade robes with his hands clasped behind his back, an air of leisure hung on that youth while his hair flowed in the wind, extremely picturesque. Bai Tiezi and surrounding was struck by how exquisite the youth’s features were as if it was sculpted by the hands of immortals. Especially those eyes of his, just one look could steal someone’s soul.

Bai Tiezi forced himself out of his stupor as he quickly asked.

“Senior what about the Bliss Earth Sect Sect Master?”

Tianyi gave a slight smile as he pointed his thumb behind him. Bai Tiezi and the people in the surrounding looked at where Tianyi pointed at and sucked in a cold breath. Lying on the crowd was the black-robed figure’s bifurcated body, each half a fair distance away from the other.

There was stunned silence as the members of the Bliss Earth Sect around Bai Tiezi began to flee, following the actions of their fellow sect members who had been paying attention to the battle.

Roving Dragon was the Bless Earth Sect’s greatest pillar, without him the Bless Earth Sect would not have risen to its current position. With him on the battlefield, their morale would be raised to its limit, but if Roving Dragon perished before the members’ very eyes then the morale would drop to rock bottom.

Bai Tiezi broke out of his second stupor, an extremely complicated feeling was reflected in his eyes. He cupped his had at Tianyi.

“Many thanks for senior’s aid.”

Tianyi waved his hand without care.

“Don’t worry about it, I was just passing through. I originally was just going to watch, but who knew that Roving Dragon would seek death for himself?” Tianyi then glanced at Feng’er who was still hugging Tianyi. “Why don’t the two of you follow me, I still have something to pass onto you as thanks.”

“Thanks?” Bai Tiezi questioned. “There is no need, you have helped enough. I could never repay the kindness you showed me.”

Tianyi shook his head.

“No, the token you gave me solved a major problem for me. I have to repay you otherwise I would not feel at ease.” Seeing Bai Tiezi still hesitate, Tianyi added. “How about this, you can repay me in the future if you leave the island and ever reach the Immortal Realm.”

“Immortal Realm?” Such a thought had occurred to Bai Tiezi, but it was more of a fleeting dream. Bai Tiezi was an orphan who by chance had met Feng’er and then on his dream was to marry her and live a peaceful life. “Senior, I’m just an average person.”

“The way I see it, you have the fortune to become an Immortal,” Tianyi said. “Besides, only when you reach the Immortal Realm will you be able to aid me.”

After saying those words, with a flip of his hand, his immortal boat appeared in the air. Bai Tiezi and Feng’er both looked at it with awe. Tianyi waved his hand and the two of them were pulled onto the deck of the immortal boat.

“Senior, dare I ask what realm you have reached?” Bai Tiezi asked after marveling at the boat for a while. This senior was extremely mysterious and his background even more so.

“I’m only in the Core Formation realm.” Tianyi lightly said.

Bai Tiezi bitterly smiled. How many cultivators dreamed of reaching the Core Formation realm in Tianwei Continent. But in Tianyi’s mouth, it was something that could easily be achieved. But thinking about how Tianyi slew Roving Dragon, such an attitude seemed acceptable.

“Don’t think too much about it, if I had actually lost then I would have wasted every advantage I had. I would have been trash not worthy of cultivation. Although Roving Dragon seemed impressive to you guys, aside from his martial cultivation and that golden qi armor of his, all his techniques were subpar.” Tianyi gave the two a sideways glance as he brought out a pill in his hand. “Let me put it this way, Tianwei Continent is a frog and the seas surrounding it are a well. Do you understand?”

Bai Tiezi smiled bitterly. What else could he say? From Tianyi’s eyes, they indeed were incredibly weak. He opened his mouth to speak but when he did so, Tianyi threw a pill in his mouth and it soon entered his throat and into his stomach.

“Big brother Tie!” Feng’er cried out in worry, but Bai Tiezi held out his hand to stop her. He could feel the incredibly powerful vitality flow out from within the pill and heal all the injuries that he had accumulated. Even his old injuries from before he had met Tianyi was healed.

Bai Tiezi kneeled in gratitude.

“Many thanks for senior’s aid.”

“Get up, since I’ve already decided to help you. I will thoroughly finish what I started.” Tianyi then glanced at Feng’er and threw a crystal orb at her. Although she was slightly shocked, she was still a cultivator in the Qi Gathering and she caught the crystal orb.

The moment she caught the crystal orb two lights shone within. One was a small green light but the other was a brighter blue light that nearly consumed the green light.

Upon seeing this, Tianyi’s eyes narrowed. “As I thought.”

“Senior?” Bai Tiezi said, confusion evident. But Tianyi just waved his concern away as he stored the crystal ball away. He then looked outside the immortal boat. Bai Tiezi also followed his eyes and his pupils shrunk, although the view was different, there was no way he didn’t recognize the Bless Earth Sect.

“Stay here,” Tianyi said as he stepped off the boat.

Upon walking off, three Core Formation Elders flew up and greeted Tianyi.

“This friend, for what reason have you visited our sect?”

Although they didn’t know who Tianyi was, just the fact that he possessed an immortal boat made him a major figure that wasn’t easy to deal with. Just moments before, they had received news of a battle not far away from where their Sect Master made his way to.

Tianyi ignored them and his eyes focused on a certain mountain within the Bless Earth Sect. Tianyi stretched his hand out and made a grabbing motion. Immediately over that mountain, a void in the shape of a hand appeared, within that void were numerous stars that filled the sky like a heavenly bridge and the shadows of nine celestial objects could be seen.

The hand grabbed the mountain and directly uprooted it, Tianyi’s pupil shrunk as his sharp eyes caught the numerous female corpses buried under.

“You are offending the Bless Earth Sect!”

“Hmpf, if you stop now we can still talk it over. But once the Sect Masters returned…hmpf!”

The three Core Formation Elders were shocked by the power Tianyi displayed and knew that they were not his opponent. But they had confidence in their Sect Master that he would be able to deal with this intruder. Tianyi did not look at them.

“Hey, you knew what your Sect Masters was doing to the girls that were brought over right?” These light words floated by the three’s ear, but the killing intent hidden within was not concealed at all. Two of the three Core Formation Elders’ faces changed, while the last one didn’t change at all. But Tianyi’s expression darkened incredibly. Although the last one didn’t have a change in his expression, Tianyi could sense his heartbeat quicken exponentially at his question.

Under the eyes of the three, the mountain that was the center of their pill creation was crushed into oblivion by the void hand. The three of them had a pained expression as if flesh had been torn from their body. For the development of a sect, the necessity of pills was not low. But now in less than a time then it took to brew a pot of tea, their Pill Mountain had been destroyed. But they didn’t have time to worry about the destruction of it anymore as all three of them felt space compress around them.

With each passing moment the compression increased, they wanted to scream but it felt as if the words in their mouth would not come out no matter what they did. Slowly the experience the excruciating pain of being crushed alive. Tianyi let their corpse fall into the ground, but the anger in his heart wasn’t sated at all. He could still sense several Core Formation experts in the Bless Earth Sect and his eyes became colder as he unleashed several techniques that took their lives.

Tianyi wasn’t done yet.

“Since you enjoyed the glory of the Bless Earth Sect for so long, you should also experience their ruin.”

Several more hand-shaped void appeared and all of them uprooted the crucial structures and mountains and crushed them into dust.

Although some of the members may not know what the Sect Master was doing to the girls being brought over from outside the sect, anyone with half a brain would. And even if they didn’t know, so what? Ignorance was not innocence.

From this day onward, although the Bless Earth Sect still existed their foundation and top echelons were erased. They were destined to fall in from heaven to hell and be overtaken by other sects.
