I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon? - Chapter 157 - 156: Master Has Finally Come Out
Chapter 157: Chapter 156: Master Has Finally Come Out
“What’s all the fuss about?”
Qin Yang yawned, casually strolling toward his usual slacking-off spot in Area 1. He looked completely at ease. “It’s no big deal. Let them make a scene. Sword God Valley is a long way from here.”
During a quick trip to the bathroom just now,
he’d already opened up a livestream to check on the situation at the scene.
He was perfectly clear on what was happening.
“???”
Li Qinghe froze, grabbing Qin Yang’s arm in disbelief. “Wait, Master, is that really your reaction?”
She had been waiting by the door for ages, fully expecting Qin Yang to take action.
And this was the response she got?
“What other reaction should I have?”
Qin Yang turned his head, knocked her hand away, and said slowly, “You want me to rush over to Sword God Valley and help them fight?”
“Yes! You have to go!”
Li Qinghe gritted her teeth, saying indignantly, “Zixuan is your junior sister! What if something happens to her?
She’s in danger right now, and that fake ’Grandmaster’ is running rampant in Sword God Valley. And you’re still planning to… still planning to…”
As she spoke, Li Qinghe paused, her voice choking up. “Master, you’re actually going to keep doing nothing?! That’s going too far!”
“What’s the big deal? Helping in a battle means knowing your own limits.”
Qin Yang looked at her, seeing she was about to lose her composure, and calmly soothed her, “That fake Sword God is powerful. I can’t beat him right now anyway. We’re thousands of miles away. What’s the use in going?
Just to get myself killed for nothing?
So we can get picked off one by one?”
While speaking, Qin Yang had already returned to his little slacker stool. He sat down leisurely, reached into his pocket, pulled out his phone, opened up a short-video app, and resumed his slacking-off mode.
He sat there, completely unmoving, showing no sign of getting up again.
“Hmph. Cold-blooded!”
Li Qinghe frowned, anxious and angry. She glared at Qin Yang, stomped her foot, and finally stormed off resentfully, leaving him alone in the corner.
A moment later,
Area 1 fell quiet once again.
Qin Yang put on his headphones, switched back to the livestream on his phone, and continued to follow the battle at Sword God Valley.
“Lift your leg, Master. I’m climbing up.”
Xiaobai deftly climbed onto his thigh and nestled in his lap. It glanced up at Qin Yang, then lowered its little head, flicking its fluffy tail, its heart filled with disdain.
’He tricks someone into leaving, then secretly watches the livestream himself…’
’He’s obviously so worried about that disciple of his…’
’A sharp tongue but a soft heart.’
’So stubborn! This Fairy looks down on you!!!’
………..
「Meanwhile.」
「Sword God Valley.」
BOOM!
Lightning leaped across the sky as heavy, leaden clouds spread out.
The black-robed man stood amidst the gale, willfully disrupting the heavens. The Sword Qi within Sword God Valley descended into chaos, transforming into sharp blades that leveled mountains, snapped trees, and erupted into terrifying tornadoes.
The crowd below was in a panic. Battered by the oppressive pressure, they grabbed onto anything they could to stay on their feet and avoid being trampled.
The scene was utter chaos!
“Jianghai Sword God! Are you still not going to show yourself to me!?”
The black-robed man’s gaze swept across the crowd, the murderous glint in his eyes now completely unconcealed.
’According to my original plan, I should have been able to gather more people here.’
’Once the crowd was large enough, I was going to launch a bloody massacre, turn this ’Sword God Valley’ into the ’Valley of the Death God,’ and bury all these citizens who believe in the Sword God alive!’
’If Li Zixuan hadn’t suddenly shown up and ruined my plan…’
’I could have gathered even more idiots into the valley… the Library’s Hall Master, the Chief Commander of the police, the upper echelons of Jianghai… I might have even lured out the real Jianghai Sword God.’
’But now, everything is ruined.’
’It’s all the fault of these ants!’
The black-robed man scanned the auras outside the valley.
There was nothing.
The Jianghai Sword God hadn’t come…
’The plan has changed. I can’t delay any longer.’
At this thought,
the black-robed man extended a finger, directing the Sword Qi straight at the citizens in the valley.
“Fine, fine! Since you enjoy being a coward hiding in your shell, don’t blame me for being merciless! I’ll slaughter these followers of yours as a welcoming gift!”
He pressed his hand down.
Star Force stretched for thousands of miles, forming a terrifying belt of pressure.
Under the combined assault of his two methods, all life would be extinguished. He intended to crush every citizen in the valley as if they were ants.
In that instant!
The sky within the Sword Valley dimmed, blotting out the sun as if a colossal mountain were crashing down from above!
“Everyone, fight back!”
Seeing this, Elder Li didn’t hesitate for a second. He immediately blasted his Star Force upward, trying to counteract the immense pressure from above.
But it…
…was nowhere near enough.
The gap between cultivation realms was as vast as crossing mountains and seas.
Now, a Grandmaster facing an Innate was like standing against the magnificent might of the heavens.
“Teacher, I’ll help you!”
Lin Mofeng and Li Zixuan also raised their hands, mustering their Star Force to resist the crushing pressure. The two terrifying forces clashed.
RUMBLE!
The members of the Star Martial Police Bureau, who had long been stationed nearby, sprang into action. Sirens blared as they unleashed a fierce barrage of firepower. Hundreds of Thermally Guided Bombs shot forth.
They slammed directly into the fake ’Sword God’, erupting in a surge of flames and a powerful shockwave.
All sides gave their utmost to help, trying to break the oppressive assault from above.
“The struggles of a bunch of ants!”
The black-robed man sneered as he looked around, savoring the screams echoing through the mountains.
Cries and shouts were everywhere. The canyon was in chaos, the thunder of explosions shaking the heavens. Everyone was weeping, creating a cruel, hellish scene.
Faintly,
the Star Pressure from above seemed to be faltering.
“You ants didn’t think… that this was all I have, did you?”
The black-robed man laughed ostentatiously, admiring the wretched state of the Sword Valley below.
The moment his voice fell,
he pointed a finger, pressing down toward the people below.
BOOM!
A second wave of Star Pressure crashed down!
KRAK.
The void faintly fractured. Space twisted, and spiderweb-like cracks spread through the air. The screams from the Sword Valley below were incessant.
The black-robed man looked down on the struggling people in the valley, his killing intent radiating outwards. He could already picture the grim scene of corpses littering the ground.
“This is the price for daring to question me!”
Just then,
as the black-robed man listened to the wails from the valley, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. On the distant horizon, a glimmer of light had appeared.
It was brilliant, blossoming.
Like a ray of violet light at the birth of dawn.
Violet Qi from the East!
“What is that?”
The black-robed man froze for a moment, not yet comprehending.
But in the blink of an eye, the light crossed a thousand miles and shot directly toward him.
It was a Flying Sword, entwined with a dragon and a phoenix?!
’Not good!’
The black-robed man’s heart stopped. A terrifying shudder instantly gripped his entire being, and he turned to flee.
But!
PFFT!
The Ziwei Divine Sword pierced through his chest, sending a spray of blood into the air. A few breaths later, Qin Yang’s figure appeared beside him and pulled the longsword from his chest.
He was dressed in the same black robes.
He wielded the same Ziwei Divine Sword.
But he exuded a far more powerful aura!
At that moment, all the Sword Intent in Sword God Valley sang out in a joyous chorus, as if to welcome… the return of its true master.
The crowd looked up in awe.
Li Zixuan felt that familiar aura and was overcome with excitement.
’Master, you’re finally here!’
