Chapter 206: The Death of Tie Pin

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

BANG!

Yunxiao mercilessly threw out a punch. The air at the bottom of the sea was thin, but the fist still produced a sharp whistle, smashing Duan Yue in the face and knocking him flying away.

“Hehe! The Tyrant Body is indeed amazing!” Yunxiao looked at his fist with satisfaction as he smiled and said to himself. He did not use any energy in the punch but pure physical strength, and yet it had knocked a Martial Emperor away.

“It hurts!”

Duan Yue held his face as he came running back, almost in tears. “I didn’t ask you to hit my face! Hey, what exactly is going on with you? This doesn’t make sense at all. The rate of your progress has put those so-called geniuses on the continent to shame! Have you ever considered the feelings of common people like us? Heaven is fu*king unfair!”

Yunxiao snorted coldly. “Let’s go now! The seawater is going to pour down at any time, and after the Yaksha gets back and reports his finding here, Qin Ming may rip apart the void and come here with him. If you keep nagging, all of us will die.”

Upon hearing the names Yaksha and Qin Ming, Tie Pin and the other Firefish people shivered all over as they turned and hurried away. The crashing of seawater was terrible, but they believed they could still withstand it. However, just thinking about the Yaksha and Qin Ming was enough to take the strength out of their legs. It was the deterrence at the soul level caused by countless years of hierarchical repression of the sea people.

Duan Yue dared not to cause trouble again. The eight of them propped up a huge bubble together, and with them inside, it flew toward the boundless seawater like a chariot. After all, Yunxiao, Tie Ling, and Tie Fei could not fly in the air yet. With the joint efforts of all the people, the bubble soon burst into the water.

However, that seemed to have trigged the seawater already at the edge, as the surrounding water instantly poured into it after they rushed out of the vacuum, forming a colossal whirlpool in a flash. The expressions of the eight people changed drastically. Meanwhile, Yunxiao took out various medicinal pills he had and gave them to the others, so that they could recover their strength and support the huge bubble, lest it burst under the tremendous force of the whirlpool.

Boom!

The whirlpool gradually expanded, spreading out for miles and dragging all the nearby sea people over. It seemed to spread endlessly across the seafloor. After an unknown time, it finally subsided, but everything within hundreds of miles was destroyed, with only huge traces streaked across the sandy seafloor.

A figure emerged from the sand and spat out a few mouthfuls of sand. The mud that covered him peeled off by itself, soon revealing a body as clean as jade. It was Yunxiao. Although the impact of the whirlpool was so great that even their bubble burst, it did not cause any damage to his body. It seemed that this Tyrant Body was more powerful than he had expected.

He glanced at the boundless seafloor, sending out his divine sense to search for the others. Although the whirlpool was powerful, Tie Fan and the others were sea people after all, so they would be fine. The only one he needed to worry about was their clan chief, Tie Pin. He was afraid that the old man could not withstand such an impact.

“Oh? This is…” He looked up slightly at a man struggling to get up in the mud a few hundred meters away. After the man struggled up, he floated quietly in the sea, gasping for breath while recalling what had just happened. His eyes were full of fear.

Suddenly, a sword beam flashed, and the faint roar of a tiger could be heard in the bottom of the sea. Then, he saw a blood-red tiger come rushing at him.

“Fu*k!” The man cursed as his whole body shot away and dodged the sword. Instead of giving up, the enemy chased over, materializing thousands of blue lotus flowers that engulfed him.

“Don’t be so ignorant, boy! I’m a two-stars Martial Emperor, and I can kill you like a dog! Get out of here if you’re smart!”

The man was Heng Yuan. He had survived the whirlpool, but his energy was almost depleted, and his body was severely wounded. He was frightened by Yunxiao’s Phoenix True Flame, so he only thought of fleeing now. “Don’t think I’m afraid of you because I’m hurt. There is a gap of three major realms between us!”

He kept making threats, only to find that Yunxiao simply ignored them but continued to attack him, and the moves got fiercer and fiercer.

Heng Yuan was completely speechless. As he dodged, he growled, “Are you an idiot? I’m three major realms stronger than you, so why do you keep attacking me? Do you know the difference between a Martial Emperor and a Martial Lord? Are you stupid?”

What made him even angrier was that he, as a Martial Emperor, was severely wounded in the whirlpool, but this Martial Lord did not look like he was injured at all.

“Wait, what!” His eyes grew wide suddenly as he cried out in horror, “You…you are a Martial Lord now?! I remember you were just a Great Martial Master a few days ago!”

He was so shocked that his reaction was half a beat slow, and that caused him to be stabbed by Yunxiao’s Tigertooth in the thigh. The sharp pain made him come to his senses, and although he was fuming, there was nothing else he could do but turn and flee.

Heng Yuan knew that with his current condition, he was no match for even a Great Martial Master, not to mention a Martial Lord. He could kill Yunxiao at the cost of damaging his cultivation base though, but he would not be able to return to the surface through this brutal sea after that.

“Trying to run away from me? Are you an idiot? You are three major realms stronger than me!” Yunxiao returned the jape as he chased up while swinging and slashing with his sword.

Heng Yuan was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and a sense of shame and anger filled his heart. But, he could only gnash his teeth and run away with a gloomy face. His life was extremely precious, and as he had just advanced to the Martial Emperor realm not long ago. He had not even enjoyed the lofty status yet. He could not get himself killed just to slay a mere worm to vent his anger.

“Lord Holy Herald, come and have a look at my dad! He’s dying!” Tie Ling’s voice came over. In the distance, he was holding Tie Pin in a puddle of mud, covered with mud. The latter’s aura was extremely weak.

Yunxiao looked back, and the distance between him and Heng Yuan was immediately widened.

Heng Yuan was overjoyed, and he seized the opportunity to muster his energy and sped hundreds of meters away. Then, he turned around as he laughed and said with a sense of relief, “Boy, I’ve memorized how you look! When you get back to Qinghai, I’ll definitely teach you a lesson and let you know what is the gap between you and someone who is three major realms stronger. Haha!”

Laughing triumphantly, he swam toward the surface.

Yunxiao sighed as he watched him flee. He was not trying to kill Heng Yuan, but the man held something he attached great importance—the Purple Nine Neonate Flood Dragon! If Heng Yuan were to return to Qinghai, he would have no hope of getting the flood dragon back.

He immediately swam toward Tie Ling. The young sea man’s face was already covered with tears while the wizened Tie Ling lay feebly in his arms and looked decades older than before. The clan chief was at the end of his tether.

“Lord Holy Herald, you are sent by heaven, so you must have a way to save my dad, right?” While sobbing, Tie Ling pulled at Yunxiao’s sleeve and asked hopefully.

Yunxiao sighed. “Heavenly Dao operates on consistent principles. Your father’s time has really come. If you can find another Kunwu Divine Tree, maybe I can save his life.”

There was always sorrow and death in life. He did not want to lie to Tie Ling, so he told him the truth.

Tie Ling immediately fell into despair and his heart turned cold. Even the entire South Sea was unlikely to have a second Kunwu Divine Tree, let alone the nearby waters. Biting his lips, he held Tie Pin tightly in his arms.

“Silly child, all men must die, and I’ve lived long enough.” Tie Pin smiled faintly and said in a weak voice, “I have been unworthy of my people for hundreds of years as a clan chief. Not only have I done nothing great for the Firefish clan, but I had almost brought it to its knees. If heaven hadn’t sent Lord Holy Herald, even death could hardly absolve me from the blame!”

“My lord…”

“My lord, you are our best clan chief!”

“My lord, you can’t die! The Firefish clan depends on you for guidance!”

At some point in time, the others had also emerged from the seafloor and come around them, all sobbing and crying. Duan Yue, on the other hand, was silent as he stood beside Yunxiao with an indifferent face.

“Kof! Kof!” Tie Pin coughed violently, and then he smiled and said, “I’m really happy to see that you have grown to this point. I now officially appoint Tie Fan as the next chief of the Firefish clan. Support him with all your heart and all your might.”

“No, I can’t!” Tie Fan flatly rejected that. “My lord, your position should be taken over by Tie Ling. He is a third-tier sea refiner, and his prestige is far above mine!”

Tie Ling cried, “Brother Tie Fan, this is my father’s last wish, so don’t refuse it. Do you want him to die with an everlasting regret?”

“That’s right. Brother Tie Fan, this is the clan chief’s order, so you can refuse it!” Tie Xin chimed in.

Looking at Tie Fan, who seemed to have a hard time making up his mind, Tie Pin chuckled and said, “Tie Ling, Tie Xin, Tie Bi, the three of you will be the elders of the Firefish clan. I want you to support Tie Fan with all your heart and might.”

“Understood, my lord! We will do our best to help brother Tie Fan!” Tie Xin and Tie Bi answered with tears coursing down their cheeks.

Tie Pin held out his hand with difficulty, grabbing toward Yunxiao. “Your…Your Excellency, thank you. After I die, please help me take care of the Firefish clan.”

Yunxiao frowned, and he said with a troubled look, “I fear I have to return to the Heavenly Martial Continent at once when this is over, and I don’t know when I will meet you again. But, if we have the chance to meet again, I’ll take good care of the Firefish clan.”

Tie Fan smiled wryly and said, “I had hoped Your Excellency could stay for some time. Tie Fan and the others are still young after all, and if Your Excellency can guide them, they will definitely make fewer mistakes.”

Yunxiao sighed and said, “I’m sorry, my lord, I can’t do that.”

Meanwhile, Duan Yue frowned slightly, as he could clearly sense that Tie Fan and the others had begun to get angry.

Tie Pin said hurriedly, “In that case, if you have the chance to meet again, I hope Your Excellency can take good care of them.”

Yunxiao nodded and said, “I will.”

“I’m glad to hear that.” Tie Pin breathed a sigh of relief, and then he turned to Tie Fan and the others, “Remember, no matter when or what happens, Lord Holy Herald will always be a friend to the Firefish clan. You must treat him with the highest courtesy!”

He also felt the few people’s dissatisfactions with Yunxiao, and he was worried that they might have a conflict later.

“Understood, my lord! Lord Holy Herald will always be a friend to the Firefish clan!” While sobbing, the few of them answered.

A faint smile appeared on Tie Pin’s face, and his pupils began to dilate at last. A sea man who had lived for hundreds of years, a Martial Emperor and the chief of a clan, finally completed his life and died peacefully.
