Chapter 861: Kong TiTranslator: Transn Editor: Transn

The colorful light descended at a high speed.

It brushed right against the entrance to the second layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock.

All of a sudden, the space around that entrance collapsed and a straight passageway emerged before them.

However, neither of them moved a muscle. Zhou Bao did not move for some reason, while Wang Shang did not dare to do so because he knew that there was only one person in this world who possessed this unique Divine Sense—the Five-colored Divine Light. It was Kong Ti, one of the five Tribulation Takers from the Human World.

In the Heaven Realm, he knew the secrets in this world very well, so he was well aware of a truth: Do not set oneself against any Tribulation Taker casually because that was something in which the losses outweighed the gains.

Tribulation Takers were protagonists who had great luck in this world, thus, not everyone was able to oppose or provoke them. Though he was a man of fate, he was merely a nobody compared with them, especially those who were going to cross the Dharma Ending Tribulation.

Hence, he did not rush into the passageway as soon as possible. He was waiting for Kong Ti. If he went in after Kong Ti, Kong Ti would have no reason to stop him. This was the recognized rule of the Immortal Realm.

However, Zhou Bao was totally different. He was a Tribulation Taker as well. Although he kept his identity concealed, he was not afraid of Kong Ti.

He did not move because the Five-colored Divine Light had groundlessly aroused a feeling of hatred in him. This feeling was not obvious, but due to his keen spiritual mind, it had nowhere to hide.

“Why do I harbor this feeling? Though both Kong Ti and I are Tribulation Takers, we don’t know each other. Even if I were to murder him for his treasures, I would not resent him!” Zhou Bao was surprised to find himself having this feeling; however, neither did he dwell on it nor did he have time to do so.

That was because another colorful ray fell from the sky and immediately brushed against Wang Shang.

Although Wang Shang’s strength was praiseworthy among Immortals, he did not have any room at all to fight back under the Five-colored Divine Light.

This time, the Five-colored Divine Light brushed not only against Wang Shang alone. It targeted Zhou Bao after it wrapped Wang Shang up.

Yes, Zhou Bao was also Kong Ti’s target. Kong Ti was going to hunt for treasures in the Treasure-snatching Rock, so he surely would not allow two Immortals to stand at its entrance.

Either drive them away or subdue them—that was his only way to ensure his safety.

Nonetheless, Zhou Bao was not Wang Shang. As soon as he noticed the colorful ray, he executed the Immortal-killing Sword Qi.

“Hiss!”

The moment the Immortal-killing Sword Qi touched the Five-colored Divine Light, it turned into countless tiny SwordQi streaks. That was Zhou Bao’s satisfying work—the blade storm.

The SwordQi transformed into a storm that instantly engulfed and minced the Five-colored Divine Light.

“What?”

This time, it was Kong Ti’s turn, who was hiding in the dark, to be astonished.

“Are you Man Yujun, who is known as the young god of swords? This is not the Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi! You acquired the Immortal-killing Sword Qi, right?”

“Don’t behave in the manner of an expert, just come out and talk to me!” Zhou Bao sneered and waved his hand. Then, a giant sword hacked into the void forcefully.

“Swish!”

Another jet of Five-colored Divine Light, hundreds of times more dazzling than the previous one, emerged from the void and caught the giant sword firmly. Later, a thin figure dressed in gorgeous, colorful silk fabrics came out of the light.

“Honorable Brother Man, I’m Kong Ti!”

There was a touch of arrogance on Kong Ti’s face. On the contrary, Zhou Bao, who Kong Ti had mistaken for Man Yujun, maintained basic etiquette.

“Fellow Taoist Kong, you’ve barked up the wrong tree. I’m Bodhi, not Man Yujun!”

“Huh?” There was a look of surprise on Kong Ti’s face. He did not expect that the man in front of him was not Man Yujun. If so, why did he possess the Immortal-killing Sword Qi?

Although Man Yujun did not understand the Immortal-killing Sword Qi, Kong Ti believed that Man Yujun, being a Tribulation Taker, would certainly succeed in practicing the Four Immortal-killing Swords, just as what he had achieved in the Five-colored Divine Light.

This was the confidence of a Tribulation Taker. In other words, it was a superstition.

“Of course I am not Man Yujun. That man just attained the Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi. One day, I will kill him and seize his Immortal-eliminating Sword Qi together with his fate!”

“Really?” Kong Ti’s eyes narrowed and a hint of faint killing intent emanated from his body. Although he was not Zhou Bao’s target, as Tribulation Takers, without a doubt, he and Man Yujun shared their hatred of Zhou Bao facing such a kind of thing. Tribulation Takers ought to and were eager to kill those bastards who murdered other Tribulation Takers in order to capture their fate. For that reason, Kong Ti eliminated the Crown Prince of Jade Emperor without hesitation and Zhou Bao seriously injured the Crown Prince of Jade Emperor, more or less.

“Stop giving off your murderous intent. You are not my target. Besides, I’m not interested in your Five-colored Divine Light!” Zhou Bao said with a faint smile. “If you are full of energy, you might as well go down and explore the Treasure-snatching Rock with me. Maybe you’ll reap unexpected rewards!”

“Humph!” Kong Ti let out a cold snort and entered the second layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock without even glancing at Zhou Bao. He paid not the slightest attention to the Taihao Fairy Weapons in the first layer.

“Wait!”

Just as Kong Ti prepared to go into the second layer, Zhou Bao laughed coldly and his Immortal-killing Sword Qi transformed into a sword net, covering the entrance tightly. “Fellow Taoist Kong, you’ve probably forgotten one thing.”

“And what’s that?” Kong Ti’s murderous intent grew stronger. He turned back and continued, “Are you interested in my fate, Fellow Taoist Bodhi?”

“Nope, I’m not so greedy. Nevertheless, you have dragged my friend into your divine light. Please release him!”

“Humph!” Kong Ti sneered and after some cyan light flashed past, Wang Shang was thrown into the void. As soon as he released Wang Shang, Zhou Bao withdrew his sword net. Kong Ti ignored Zhou Bao and went into the second layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock directly.

“Thank you for saving me, Fellow Taoist Bodhi!” Wang Shang’s body became flaccid after he walked out of the Five-colored Divine Light; however, he still managed to salute Zhou Bao. “No words can express my thanks to your great kindness. Just ask me to do whatever I am able to in the future, I…”

“Well then, Fellow Taoist Wang, no need to say that. We’ll meet again if that is destined!”

That indeed was the case.

Although Wang Shang had gotten free of the Five-colored Divine Light, he had been severely injured, and shortly later, he was incapable of entering the second or third layer. Furthermore, Kong Ti had already gone into the second layer and that was something he was afraid of. He did not want to provoke this powerful man anymore. In any case, there were numerous Taihao Fairy Weapons waiting for him to collect in the first layer. It would be a fruitful trip to the ruins of the Rock Cliff Sect if he took these fairy weapons back.

After bidding farewell to Wang Shang, Zhou Bao went into the second layer of the Treasure-snatching Rock. The moment he walked into the void of the second layer, he saw nothing except for the colorful light all over the sky.

Just as Wang Shang had witnessed him collect the better part of the Taihao Fairy Weapons in the first layer in one fell swoop, he watched Kong Ti bag all the Medium-grade Taihao Fairy Weapons in the second layer in one go with his Five-colored Divine Light.

“Brother Kong, please hold your horses!” said Zhou Bao with a grave expression on his face. His Immortal-killing Sword Qi transformed into a sword net and enveloped the colorful light that was charging at the purple bamboo stick.

“Brother Kong, I’m really sorry. That’s one of my personal belongings. It has just been absorbed by the Treasure-snatching Rock and it’s time to return it to its original owner!”

Kong Ti just quietly stood where he was after he saw the sword net wrap up his Five-colored Divine Light. He stared at Zhou Bao coldly as if he intended to see through him. Zhou Bao, however, did not care about that at all. He put away his purple bamboo stick, smiling innocently.

“Brother Kong, though the Medium-grade Taihao Fairy Weapons here are picture perfect, I assume you do not think much of them. What, are you preparing to establish a new sect in the Immortal Realm?”

Just as Wang Shang had questioned Zhou Bao’s behavior, Zhou Bao speculated that the reason Kong Ti was gathering so many Taihao Fairy Weapons was that he planned to establish a new sect in the Immortal Realm and bestow those fairy weapons to his disciples.

“You don’t need to worry about it!” Kong Ti replied coldly. “We are not so familiar!”

“Yes, you’re right!” Zhou Bao snickered at Kong Ti, who looked indifferent.

Kong Ti was quite arrogant. In fact, Zhou Bao had to recognize that if he had not executed his superb Immortal-killing Sword Qi, Kong Ti would have attacked him.

Now, however, Kong Ti hesitated after he saw the terrifying strength that Zhou Bao had displayed. For him, fighting an unknown, formidable practitioner was not necessarily a thing from which he could reap benefits. If he were to be killed by the other man, that man would inherit his fate and Divine Sense. And for him, that was something in which the losses outweighed the gains. However, Zhou Bao believed that if he himself really were Man Yujun, Kong Ti surely would have taken the initiative to attack him or try to prevent him from entering the Treasure-snatching Rock.

Tribulation Takers killing each other involved huge benefits.

“Anyway, I’m not interested in anything in the second layer except for my bamboo stick. You can stroll around here as you please. I will take a look at the third layer!” Zhou Bao moved while speaking. A sharp, stripe-like SwordQi pierced the void and forcefully tore open the space of this layer. The passageway to the third layer appeared, and without hesitation, Zhou Bao went into it with a quick move. Kong Ti’s face darkened and he followed after Zhou Bao, disregarding the remaining Taihao Fairy Weapons in the second layer.
