Chapter 344: What Is Your Crime?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Boom!

Accompanied by a loud bang, the mountain that was originally 30km tall instantly shattered like a mirror, causing countless dust and smoke to rise and cover the sky.

In less than a few breaths, the entire mountain had already collapsed, turning into ruins.

As for the figure that flew out of the spatial rift, he was pressed under the rubble, his fate unknown.

“…”

Witnessing this scene, Qin Jue was dumbfounded. What was going on?

“…”

Kui Mie was also somewhat stunned. Where did this guy jump out from?

Before the two of them could figure it out, another figure rushed out of the spatial rift and shouted anxiously, “Brother Cheng, are you alright?!”

This time, it was a woman who flew over. She was dressed in crystal soft armor, and her long hair fluttered in the wind. She couldn’t be said to be peerless in beauty, but her every move was filled with charm and temptation. It was just that the bloody injuries on her body had destroyed her overall beauty.

The woman didn’t even look at Qin Jue and Kui Mie as she headed straight for the ruins. She raised her hand and waved it, directly pushing away the rubble and finding “Brother Cheng” who was suppressed below.

“Brother Cheng, are you alright?” The woman landed beside the man and asked.

“Cough cough!”

The man called Brother Cheng spat out two mouthfuls of blood and said weakly, “Wan’er, don’t worry about me. Run.”

“No! Brother Cheng, I won’t leave you behind!”

The woman’s tears fell like rain as she shook her head forcefully.

“Be good, or we’ll all die here today.” Wang Cheng gritted his teeth.

“…”

In the distance, Qin Jue was silent. What kind of melodramatic plot was this? Was there a mistake?

“Run? Hahaha, neither of you can escape.”

Before he could finish his sentence, an aura mixed with endless killing intent suddenly came from the spatial rift. Then, an old man covered in a dazzling light passed through the spatial rift and appeared in front of everyone.

The old man had white hair and a youthful appearance. He had a kind appearance and had the aura of a hidden expert. However, the killing intent emitted from his body was sinister and terrifying, causing others to shudder, forming a sharp contrast.

“I will definitely not let off anyone who kills my son.” The old man narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

“Ptui, he deserved it!”

Yun Wan’er raised her voice and said angrily, “As the sect master of the Saint Spirit Sect, your son colluded with the Insect Race and ambushed the Burning Heaven Continent, causing hundreds of thousands of human cultivators to die. His crimes are unforgivable. Brother Cheng had only enforced justice on behalf of the heavens!”

“How dare you!”

The old man immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation and slapped out with his palm!

“Watch out!”

Wang Cheng exclaimed and hurriedly used a secret technique. He carried Yun Wan’er and escaped into the void.

Boom!

The ground shook, stirring up a visible energy storm that spread out. In an instant, the surroundings froze.

After a long while, a huge palm print appeared. It was bottomless and horrifying.

“Yeah?”

The old man frowned and slapped out again. Compared to the previous palm, this palm was clearly not as violent, but it happened to shake Wang Cheng and Yun Wan’er out of space.

“Pfft!”

Wang Cheng spat out another mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper. If not for his fast reaction, the two of them would have died just now.

“Hehe, I almost accidentally killed you.”

The old man smiled and said, “Next, I’ll first destroy your bodies and then slowly torture your souls, making you wish you were dead!”

Wang Cheng and Yun Wan’er couldn’t help but shudder when they heard this, and they revealed terrified expressions.

To cultivators, torturing the soul was undoubtedly the most painful punishment. Whether it was the True God Stage or the God King Stage, they would find it difficult to endure it after a long time, let alone the two of them who were at the Half God Stage.

“Wan’er, I’ve let you down.”

Wang Cheng sighed.

Ten days ago, the Insect Race suddenly gathered an army and attacked the Burning Heaven Continent with shocking might.

However, because of the array formation, the Insect Race could not enter for the time being, so the cultivators inside only needed to defend.

However, at this moment, the array formation suddenly collapsed!

The result could be imagined. The Insect Race, which had long been eyeing the Burning Heaven Continent covetously, surged into the Burning Heaven Continent from all directions. Caught off guard, hundreds of thousands of cultivators died, and the living beings were plunged into misery and suffering.

If not for the reinforcements from the other regions arriving in time, the battle would have been even more intense.

As for Wang Cheng, he was one of the reinforcements who had rushed over from another area.

Realizing that something was wrong, after defeating the Insect Race, Wang Cheng immediately began to investigate the reason for the array formation’s self-destruction.

In the end, he discovered that the whole thing had to do with the sect heir of the Saint Spirit Sect.

Who would have thought that the dignified sect heir of the Sacred Spirit Sect would actually destroy the array formation from the inside and let the Insect Race in?

The furious Wang Cheng directly paid a visit to the sect heir of the Sacred Spirit Sect and began a life and death battle.

In fact, Wang Cheng could not be considered a good person. After all, to be able to cultivate to his realm as an itinerant cultivator, he kept many secrets.

However, Wang Cheng absolutely could not tolerate traitors who colluded with the Insect Race and ambushed humans.

After a fierce battle, Wang Cheng had killed the sect heir of the Sacred Spirit Sect on the spot. Because of that, he had been pursued by the sect master, who was also the old man.

One had to know that the old man was a True God Stage expert.

Originally, Wang Cheng thought that as long as he brought Yun Wan’er to hide away for a period of time, he would be able to escape the other party’s pursuit. He did not expect that in just two days, the old man would find them.

During this time, the two of them used various secret techniques to escape, but they were still unable to escape from the old man. Wang Cheng was even easily severely injured by the old man and was sent flying. Coincidentally, Kui Mie had activated the dimensional formation at this moment, so Wang Cheng had come here for no reason.

“If I hadn’t insisted on killing Ding Jian, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.”

Wang Cheng felt extremely guilty, thinking that he had ruined Yun Wan’er.

“No, Brother Cheng, Wan’er doesn’t blame you.”

Yun Wan’er shook her head and said, “I’m very happy to die with Brother Cheng.”

“Wan’er…”

Wang Cheng was extremely touched. Then as if recalling something, he frowned and said, “By the way, where are we?”

It was only at this moment that Wang Cheng realized that they did not seem to be in the God Realm.

“I’m not sure.”

Yun Wan’er looked around, slightly at a loss.

“Hmph, I’m still standing right here!”

Seeing that the two of them were actually chatting, the old man said in a deep voice.

“Um… so am I…”

The old man was stunned and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a two-meter-tall purple burly man floating not far away. Beside him were two youths and a woman who were sizing him up with interest.

The person who had just spoken was the purple burly man.

“You are…”

The old man was stunned. He had never sensed the other party.

“I am the master of this continent. You guys barged into my territory for no reason and even destroyed my things. What should I do?” Kui Mie looked down at the old man and said indifferently.

When facing Qin Jue, Kui Mie was submissive, but that didn’t mean that he had to lower his head when facing the old man. Kui Mie could crush a mere lower realm True God Stage ant with a flick of his finger, so why would he care to be respectful to the other party.

“What do you mean?”

An ominous feeling rose in the old man’s heart.
