#560 - Horror sleepiness...
When they initially received this order, these emperors were quite pleased.
They thought this was a perfect opportunity to demonstrate their capabilities, hoping for a reward if they performed well...
Little did they expect the cost of this demonstration to be so high, so high that these emperors no longer desired any reward.
They now only wished to return to their respective homes...
If possible, how much they wished they could turn back time and start over.
If they could relive it, they would let Qin Liang and his army go wherever they pleased, offering only token resistance.
They would absolutely not put on a display of risking everything as they were doing now.
“The losses are too great, too great! At this rate, the military strength of our several dynasties will be exhausted.”
“Who the hell could have imagined that Qin Liang, that son-of-a-b*tch, and his army would have such powerful combined combat strength?”
“Where the hell did those Half-Immortal Realm experts come from, and when did Qin Liang, that son-of-a-b*tch, break through to the Dragon Gate Realm!!!”
“Damn Qin Liang, didn't the outside world say that his army, apart from him being at the Half-Immortal Realm Completion, was mostly composed of Great Vehicle Realm and lower-level experts?”
“The combined forces of our several dynasties initially thought we had a sure grip on containing and even eliminating Qin Liang, but we never expected this outcome.”
“That son-of-a-b*tch definitely concealed his strength... we are in deep trouble now, truly in an impossible situation!”
“The armies clashing with Qin Liang at every moment suffer countless casualties... Conversely, Qin Liang's army, that son-of-a-b*tch, is completely unscathed.”
“The casualty rate is ridiculously low! We can't afford to keep dragging this on! But we can't retreat either... Retreating now would definitely allow that son-of-a-b*tch to devour us whole.”
“But if we don't retreat and stay here, we will also face annihilation. What can we do! What can we do!”
......
Great Ming Imperial Capital.
First Elder Tian Du, Third Elder Tian Xin, and Fourth Elder Tian Jue were hiding in the crowd, watching Qin Yi who was undergoing tribulation in the sky.
A strange light flickered in First Elder Tian Du's eyes as he said, "If Qin Buyi's position wasn't opposed to ours, facing such a monstrous genius, I really wouldn't have the heart to attack him."
"If we could recruit such a genius into our own ranks, there is a high possibility that the strength of the entire Tiandou Sect would increase significantly in the future!"
"Alas~ What a pity, what a pity! Such a genius is about to die in our hands..."
This time, in order to completely nip the danger brought by Qin Buyi in the bud, Tian Du had specially prepared a powerful weapon.
This powerful weapon and the scrolls used by Deqing and the others before belonged to the same series, all of which were one-time items that the Great Elder had obtained during his previous outings.
However, it was a level higher than the scrolls used by Deqing and the others, and could allow a Human Immortal Realm expert to briefly increase by two minor realms.
Moreover, not too many people were needed to operate it, just two people would be enough.
With the Great Elder's cultivation, he naturally wouldn't need this powerful weapon, but handing it over to Third Elder Tian Xin and Fourth Elder Tian Jue would be perfect to unleash the power of this great weapon.
With Third Elder Tian Xin and Fourth Elder Tian Jue's Human Immortal Realm mid-stage cultivation, after being augmented by this powerful weapon, they could temporarily reach Human Immortal Realm Completion.
At that time, killing a Human Immortal Realm early-stage expert who had just undergone tribulation and experienced a large consumption of energy from the lightning tribulation would be a piece of cake.
As for why the Great Elder didn't include himself, the reason was simple.
Such a major event as Qin Buyi undergoing tribulation, as long as Second Elder Tian Qing wasn't a fool, he would definitely come to protect him.
After Qin Buyi finished undergoing tribulation, if Great Elder Tian Du made a move, he would inevitably be blocked by Second Elder Tian Qing.
Therefore, this time, the assassination of Qin Buyi was ostensibly led by Great Elder Tian Du, but the core was actually Third Elder Tian Xin and Fourth Elder Tian Jue.
As long as Qin Buyi was killed, dealing with Second Elder Tian Qing could be done slowly, without being so rushed.
But if Qin Buyi was still alive and became a Human Immortal Realm expert, then the Great Elder and others would have sleepless nights!
Third Elder Tian Xin said, "Tian Du, no matter how outstanding a monstrous genius is, if they can't be used by us, then they deserve to die!"
Fourth Elder Tian Jue echoed, "Tian Xin is right, this Qin Buyi chose the wrong camp and sought his own death, who can he blame?"
"Hmph, no matter how monstrous this person is, if his brain isn't good enough, he won't live long."
The reason why Third Elder Tian Xin and Fourth Elder Tian Jue were so supportive of killing Qin Buyi was because they were afraid that Tian Du would really develop some ghostly love for talent.
If Qin Buyi chose to join Tian Du's command at that time, it would definitely be a major threat to the positions of Third Elder Tian Xin and Fourth Elder Tian Jue!
After all, Qin Buyi's talent was evident to everyone. If such a terrifying and peerless monster defected, Tian Du would definitely be very happy.
But this meant that the interests of Third Elder Tian Xin and Fourth Elder Tian Jue would be greatly affected, so it was better to take advantage of the opportunity to completely cut off Tian Du's thoughts.
Great Elder Tian Du wasn't a fool, how could he not understand the hidden meaning of Third Elder Tian Xin and Fourth Elder Tian Jue's words?
However, for the sake of harmony in this newly united camp, Tian Du only took a deep look at the two of them and said nothing more...
Above the Great Ming Imperial Capital.
The ice on Qin Buyi's body grew thicker and thicker.
Qin Buyi was like a human-shaped ice sculpture, wrapped in solid ice.
The physical pain of the flesh, the mental anguish of the sea of consciousness, and the cold that constantly emanated from the ice, penetrating deep into the bones...
With all kinds of pain combined, Qin Buyi closed his eyes tightly, and his brows furrowed slightly.
But even so, Qin Buyi did not shout out.
As a strong person, especially a strong person whose cultivation had reached Qin Buyi's level, the tenacity of his mind had surpassed ordinary people.
The weak need to shout to distract from the pain, while the strong will silently endure this pain.
Shouting and yelling was something Qin Buyi had done when he first embarked on cultivation.
At that time, Qin Buyi's mind was far less resilient than it is now. Later, as his cultivation improved and he experienced more things, his mind also underwent earth-shattering changes.
Extreme pain coupled with this coldness brought about sleepiness.
A strong sense of sleepiness constantly stimulated Qin Buyi's pained nerves like a tide.
"I can't sleep... I absolutely can't sleep!"
Cultivating to Qin Buyi's level, sleep had become very unfamiliar.
Except for major special circumstances where sleep might be needed to replenish oneself, at other times, one was completely in a state of mental fullness around the clock.
Qin Buyi knew very well that if he didn't resist this oncoming sleepiness at this moment and fell asleep...
Then the consequences would be unimaginable!
Most likely, he would die and his Dao would disappear.
He was undergoing tribulation now, and neither the lightning tribulation that had not yet arrived nor the pain he was currently enduring were child's play.
Falling asleep at this time... meant falling!
