Chapter 1159 - Nothing more than just a battle (2/2)
Suddenly, the master of creation raised his pickaxe and exerted strength in his legs. In an instant, he was in front of Qin MU, and the pickaxe came crashing down!
Qin Mu swung his broken sword and transformed it into a long knife. The moment he attacked, it was his own divine art that entered the path!
He entered the path with the knife and comprehended his first great divine art of the Knife Path.
Knocking on Southern Heavenly Gate!
The knife light shone, bringing with it the unique Path Runes of the Postcelestial Great Path as it clashed with the pickaxe!
Knife Path, cutting through thorns and thistles without fear of death!
The dangers of heaven, the unyieldingness of earth, one knife to cleave open!
If there is no road, then carve one. No need to seek myriad transformations, only horizontal and vertical strokes are needed![1]
Clang—
A world-shaking explosion rang out, and Qin Mu flew backward. He stomped heavily on the mountain wall and rushed over at an even faster speed.
The hands of the master of creation were raised high, and he retreated. Qin Mu was already in front of him. He raised his knife, and a huge head flew up.
Qin Mu landed on the ground, and the ground trembled violently.
The web between his thumb and forefinger split open, and fresh blood flowed out. However, to be able to kill an opponent of the calibre in one move, this bit of injury was nothing.
Suddenly, the headless master of creation raised his pickaxe again. Qin Mu was astonished and hurriedly retreated to avoid the pickaxe.
The master of creation missed and pulled out his pickaxe from the ground. Two Grand Extremes eyes grew out of his chest, and they were terrifying.
Thud. The headless master of creation put down the pickaxe and leaned against the handle.
At the same time, cracking sounds rang out as the stone statues of the masters of creation in the mine shed their stone exteriors and regained their corporeal bodies. The Yin and Yang qi on both sides of the mountain were rampant and swam like dragons as they tunnelled into their bodies.
They all walked towards Qin Mu.
Thud, thud, thud.
Pickaxes were placed onto the ground one after another, the metals twinkled with cold light. Dozens of giants were laid out in a battle formation, akin to geese in flight, as they closed in on both sides.
Qin Mu gripped the handle of his knife tightly, and his injuries healed rapidly. He laughed and said, “Where shall my knife lead? Nothing more than just a battle! Come-”
The masters of creation either soared into the sky, stepped on the mountain walls, or sprinted over from the ground. The light reflected from their pickaxes was like the dividing line in a taiji diagram: dividing Yin and Yang. Their trajectories was extremely profound as they attacked from all directions.
Boom-
In the Grand Extremes Mine, a pillar of light rose from the ground and transformed into a black light. Another pillar of light rose into the sky and transformed into a white light. In mid-air, the ‘two pillars of light swirled and collided with the top of the sky. From afar, they looked like Yin and Yang Grand Extremes Fish[2] that were swirling around each other!
At the foot of the mountain, the dragon qilin and Yan’er looked at this sight in a daze. They didn’t know what had happened in the mine.
The light slowly dispersed, and the imposing masters of creation stood in a circle with their pickaxes in their hands. In the centre was a pile of rotten flesh.
Qin Mu was beaten into meat paste by them.
The masters of creation were expressionless as they raised their pickaxes and prepared to leave. The substances in the mine was changing rapidly, and the masters of creation were rapidly retreating. The pickaxes in their hands also followed the path of their divine arts as they retreated!
Some of them rose into the sky, some stepped on the mountain walls and ran backward, while some retreated into the ground.
Meanwhile, the meat paste was also changing rapidly, turning back into Qin Mu’s appearance. Everything seemed to have returned to its starting point.
“Nothing more than just a battle! Come-” Qin Mu shouted.
[1] The translation in those past three lines are pretty clunky. I tried my best to preserve the sentence order and structure of the raw.
[2] Two koi, one black one white swirling around each other. Fun fact, did you know the plural of fish is fishes if there is multiple species of fish (but only fish if it’s multiples of the same species).
