Chapter 1136: 1136 Past Grudges! (Part 3)

"I have no grievances with you, Beast God. I hope you choose not to intervene in this matter, as it is a grudge within our human race and has nothing to do with your ancient beast lineage."

The Beast God appeared here and saved Ye Qiu from his hands, which made Ji Batian both angry and furious. However, from their brief exchange earlier, the Beast God’s strength seemed to be comparable to his. Thus, Ji Batian didn’t attack immediately; instead, he hoped the Beast God would withdraw. As long as he could eliminate Ye Qiu and defeat these people in front of him, he wouldn’t mind lowering his attitude.

"Your Ji Clan led the slaughter of my people. How can you say there’s no grievance? Moreover, this kid owes me a lot. If you just kill him, who will I find to settle the score? You?" The little girl said indifferently.

"My Ji Clan only killed a few ancient beasts; there wasn’t a massive slaughter. We stopped soon after. Besides, even when hunting ancient beasts, it was to help your ancient beast lineage, to remove the weak and leave the strong."

"Heh, should I thank you then?" the little girl’s expression changed, and she said coldly, "If you leave now, I’ll let this matter slide, and I won’t be your enemy. But if you insist on killing him, I will have to experience the strength of this strongest person in the ancient land."

Seeing the little girl so protective of Ye Qiu, Ji Batian realized that things were not going well. Yet, how could his Ji Clan survive in the ancient land as long as Ye Qiu lived? Currently, the three great ancient clans were almost destroyed. How could he just retreat then?

"Beast God, you should not forget which ancient clan killed the most of your ancient beast lineage in the past, right?" Ji Batian turned the topic.

Ji Batian continued, "Back then, the Dugu Clan killed the most of your ancient beast lineage. My Ji Clan annihilated the Dugu Clan, which could be considered as helping you a great deal. But now, you want to protect the descendants of the Dugu Clan, making those ancient beasts who died at the hands of the Dugu Clan perceive you, the Beast God..."

"Are you mocking me?" The little girl’s face suddenly frosted over, "How the Beast God conducts matters is beyond anyone’s interference, and no one dares to manage it. You, human, I shall send you to death."

The little girl became furious and exploded instantly.

Originally, Ji Batian thought his words might make the little girl reconsider protecting Ye Qiu, which was why he brought up past events. However, little did he expect that he had just finished speaking when, instead of achieving the desired effect, he immediately angered the little girl.

"Hmph, don’t think I’m afraid of you. I’ve long wanted to test the power of the Beast God."

Now, it was clear the little girl wouldn’t leave easily. Ji Batian stopped speaking but instead let his eyes blaze with intense battle spirit.

Two supreme powerhouses, one the first of the ancient lands, one the first of the ancient beasts, when they clashed, an astonishing aura burst forth.

In the sky, everyone was watching this battle. The Beast God was a legend in the ancient lands. With the Beast God now unleashing the power of the Beast God to confront Ji Batian, who was stronger or weaker— everyone was concerned.

Just as the two supreme powers clashed, a figure slowly approached, stepping on the void.

"Ji Bairi..."

Rumbling, the voice rolled down from the sky like thunder, resounding across the universe.

Originally, the martial artists who were focused on the sky battle all turned their attention to this sudden voice, and there stood a figure in the high air.

"Who is this?"

"Don’t know. They look unfamiliar? Could it be they also have a feud with the Ji Clan?" someone speculated.

Wu Yang Zun Zhe and the master of the library frowned at this figure, sensing that the person’s aura was extraordinary, seemingly very strong, not at all inferior to theirs.

Yet Jin Shanshun, Boss Yun, Jin’er, and others recognized the owner of the voice.

"It’s the elder from beneath the snow mountain."

"Dugu Qiujian..." Boss Yun uttered four words.

What?

"You said he’s... Dugu Qiujian?"

Wu Yang Zun Zhe and the master of the library both changed color, and Boss Yun nodded, "That’s right. When we ventured into the depths of the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, beneath a snow mountain, we met Young Master Ye. Young Master Ye led us into a wooden cabin, and later, an old man came by. That old man was Dugu Qiujian, as confirmed by Young Master Ye personally, so there’s no mistake."

"Is he really Dugu Qiujian? Why does he look even older than us?" Wu Yang Zun Zhe murmured. In his impression, Dugu Qiujian was always a promising young man, perhaps it was due to the incident years ago when he lost his eyes?

"Uncle."

Ye Qiu watched Dugu Qiujian’s figure, and Dugu Qiujian’s voice echoed in his mind, "Nephew, as long as you’re fine."

"Uncle, how did you come here? Weren’t you unable to leave the foot of the snow mountain?"

"The Beast God was benevolent and allowed me to come for revenge. Once I’ve slain those who betrayed me back then, I’ll explain everything."

After a brief mental exchange, Dugu Qiujian locked onto Ji Bairi, flying to within just ten meters of him.

"Ji Bairi, do you still remember me?" _{freew\e bnovel.com}

"Hehe... You actually aren’t dead... That’s truly unexpected." Seeing Dugu Qiujian, Ji Bairi was initially shocked but soon calmed down.

"Those eyes of mine, do you enjoy using them? Today, I’ve come to reclaim them, and take back what belongs to me," Dugu Qiujian said.

"Dugu Qiujian, do you think you’re capable enough?" Ji Bairi remarked indifferently.

"Without your sneak attack, how would I, Dugu Qiujian, have lost to you? Today, we will settle the grudges from fifty years ago."

Dugu Qiujian slowly took a sword wrapped with a cloth strap from his back and gently unraveled it.

Gently caressing the sword sheath’s patterns, a familiar feeling lingered in his heart.

"It’s been fifty years. I haven’t touched this sword because I vowed that the day I drew this sword once more would be the day I kill you, Ji Bairi."

Dugu Qiujian spoke softly. Although he couldn’t see the sword in his hands, the gentle expression he had for the sword, treating it like a beloved wife, was moving. This was a true sword cultivator. Difficult to imagine, the amount of willpower it would take for a sword fanatic not to touch a sword for fifty years.

Clang!

The sword blade drew from the sheath, emitting its first sword cry in fifty years. It seemed like the joy of seeing daylight again. The blade trembled ever so slightly, as if rejoicing at this reunion with an old friend, making a joyful sound.

His heart and sword were connected. Even though they hadn’t fought together for decades, the connection between his soul and the sword’s spirit was unbreakable.

"Old friend, today we shall kill this vile and shameless man together, to avenge the past." After Dugu Qiujian’s words dropped, the sword in his hand immediately resonated louder, truly responding to Dugu Qiujian’s words.

Swoosh.

Dugu Qiujian stretched his arm, letting the longsword shriek.

One could only hear in the sky a sound, ’Send your life here.’ In an instant, both men acted simultaneously.

On the ground, everyone watched as the blind Dugu Qiujian performed mysterious swordsmanship with one hand, incredibly shocked. The sword in his hand was no longer merely a weapon; it was part of his body.

The swordsmanship was no longer just a technique for killing but an art.

A duel unfolded, an art of the sword gradually unraveled before them.
