Chapter 268 The Ending of A Top Master
Two days later, the warship carrying Qin Hao appeared on the horizon of the island.
Early in the morning, Qin Hao and Shi Bingying were having breakfast in the dining hall as a sailor ran in to report: “Instructor Qin, we are about to arrive at the island, but…?”
Qin Hao raised his head, asked with curiosity after seeing the sailor’s hesitation, “What’s wrong?”
“Instructor, there is something wrong on the island.”
“Something wrong?” Qin Hao was at a lost, and he felt anxious and stood up immediately, “Let’s see.”
“Me too.” Shi Bingying hurried to stand up and follow them.
They went on the board and someone handed Qin Hao a pair of high power binoculars.
Powerful as he is, Qin Hao could see everything on the island without it. However, with its help, he could see it more clearly and he took it and looked forward.
He felt quite shocked after taking a look. What happened?
Compared with the previous landscape, the island in the distance had been totally destroyed. Many tall trees had fallen down on a massive scale and part of the hill had been bald.
The whole island seemed to have experienced a once-in-a-century snowstorm and the trees all collapsed under pressure.
Seen from these signs, it could not be a natural disaster for there was the evidence of a fight. It could be even seen from the binoculars that there were bloodstains and shabby clothes.
Qin Hao felt quite worried and he hurried to turn to the direction in which Bloody Demon King lived. However, nothing could be seen for the place was in the shade and hidden by raised mounds and big rocks.
“Speed up, get on the island.” Qin Hao was serious and commanded loudly.
People in the ship immediately sped up after hearing the order. The warship rushed to the island ahead with roaring.
After a while, the ship drew alongside. Qin Hao commanded the followers to stay in the ship and he landed the island with Shi Bingying and flew ahead to the place where Bloody Demon King lived.
With just a few minutes, they arrived at the place where Bloody Demon King lived. However, they were astounded while seeing the scene before them.
The cave in which Bloody Demon King lived had disappeared, only a big pit and scaring bloodstains left.
The cave seemed to be bombarded by a powerful force and became a pit.
Suffering from such a hit, would Bloody Demon King in it survive?
Qin Hao felt quite anxious and angry. He would definitely kill the man who dared to kill his Shifu.
“Hao, Shifu he, can’t he…?” Shi Bingying said with worry.
Qin Hao shook his head and comforted himself, “No, he shouldn’t be. After all, he is a Martial Cultivator in the Divine Stage and he could not die like this. Let’s look for him. We look for him in different directions.”
“Ok.” Shi Bingying answered and searched in one direction and yelled, “Shifu!”.
Qin Hao searched in another direction. Little Monster was also released to search. This was the place where it was born, and it was quite familiar with the place.
Meanwhile, Qin Hao’s Spirit Sense was expanded to the largest degree for search. Now his Spirit Sense could reach the scope of five kilometers. Most of the island could be covered in the search scope of his Spirit Sense.
Soon, he found one place unusual. He stopped for a second and searched in the direction with caution.
In a dark corner, there was a big tree. It had strong and twisted roots. In a trunk, which was so thick that could be embraced by several humans, Qin Hao found human beings’ breath.
The lower part of the trunk of the tree was surrounded by low bushes, so one couldn’t see what was going on inside. Without Spirit Sense, Qin Hao would not find anything unusual inside.
After Qin Hao pulled aside the bushes, the trunk was exposed. There was a hole at the bottom of the trunk, which should be hollow inside. The hole seemed to have been covered with something by a human, and nothing could be seen in it.
Qin Hao approached again, stretched his hand forward and got ready to tear off the things that kept off. At the same moment, “bang”, with a loud noise, a person from the inside rushed out.
Qin Hao felt quite shocked. He looked up and a vicious palm was falling on him. Out of intuition, he defended with his palm without thinking.
“Boom!”
The man was hit away, knocked on the trunk and fell on the bushes.
Qin Hao felt his blood waving and rushing in his body. His palm was numb and he managed to stand steady after several steps backward.
When he supported himself and saw the scene, he was astounded. The man before him had an ugly face and his wrinkled and dry skin was like the orange peel burned by sunlight.
However, the man impressed him with a familiar sense.
“Who, who are you…” Qin Hao opened his mouth and asked with doubt and uncertainty, “You are…?”
The man raised his eyelids and his gloom eyes were enlightened when he saw Qin Hao. He seemed to regain a part of the strength and managed to stand up against the trunk, “You are Qin, Qin Hao.”
The voice was hoarse and yet familiar. And he could say Qin Hao’s name so he should be…
“Shi…Shifu, is… is that you?” Qin Hao opened his eyes wide. He couldn’t believe that the man before him was Bloody Demon King who was once so authoritative and unstoppable that he saw before.
“It’s me.” Bloody Demon King answered with quite a weakness.
“Shifu.” Qin Hao did not care about anything else and rushed to support the Bloody Demon King’s body. He asked with a tremble, “Shifu, you, why have you been this?”
“Kid, no worry. I won’t die.” Bloody Demon King wore a light smile and then asked with anxiety, “Hurry, take me to a place without sunshine.”
It reminded Qin Hao and made him realize that Bloody Demon King couldn’t be exposed to sunshine. His being like this might be partly because of sunshine.
“Okay, Shifu, let’s go.” Qin Hao remembered the cave which Little Monster used to live in. He immediately backed up to Bloody Demon King and flew to the cave. While flying, he shouted to Little Monster and Shi Bingying to inform them that Shifu had been found.
Qin Hao backed Bloody Demon King into the cave where Little Monster used to live and gave his Spirit Strength instantly to him without asking. Meanwhile, Qin Hao checked his body and it told him that the wound of Bloody Demon King was more serious than he imagined. No wonder he could not stand his one palm.
“Shifu, who did this to you?” Qin Hao’s voice was cold. Anger and murderous spirit brimmed over his eyes.
“Eh-hem…” Bloody Demon King coughed and breathed heavily for a while before he smiled bitterly, “Alas, a man who loses position and influence may be subjected to many indignities. A figure like me Bloody Demon King is now so weak and miserable. Even a few clowns from the Semi-Ancient Martial World can do this to me.”
“The Semi-Ancient Martial World?” Qin Hao was shocked, “Shifu, you mean that Martial Cultivators from the Semi-Ancient Martial World looked for you here?”
“Yes.” Bloody Demon King nodded, “Just a few days before, they came here and destroyed my cave into a pit. Then I fought hard with them. Finally, they robbed everything there, including my Space Ring.”
Qin Hao just found that Bloody Demon King’s ring on his finger was gone.
“They thought I could not survive and left me alone on the island to be eaten by the beasts. Luckily, I was resilient and I survived. Finally, you came here. Eh-hem…” Bloody Demon King coughed hard again.
Qin Hao got it. Those men from the Semi-Ancient Martial World came here for the cultivation resource of Bloody Demon King. Any one of cultivation resources of Bloody Demon King could drive them mad.
Qin Hao just did not understand why they should know where Bloody Demon King lived.
“Shifu, I was the only one knowing your place. How could they know?”
Bloody Demon King smiled bitterly, “Maybe it was the retribution. I thought it was you who leaked my information and I almost misunderstood you. But I knew everything when I saw those two eagles with men’s heads. ”
The eagle with men’s head was also Vampire Eagle. When Qin Hao went on the island at the very beginning, two of them flew away from the sea. Bloody Demon King once asked Qin Hao to execute them to prevent further damage.
After Qin Hao went out, he had no time to look for these two animals and he did not see them. But they were caught and tamed by men from the Semi-Ancient Martial World. They brought men here and brought fatal disaster to Bloody Demon King.
“I don’t know how these two animals were caught by them, either.” Bloody Demon King sighed.
“Shifu, do you know who they are? I won’t let them go.” Qin Hao bit his teeth and had all murderous spirit in his eyes.
“Of course, I do. I won’t forget them even after I died. They are from three big sects in the Semi-Ancient Martial World, Tian Han Sect, Ancient Sword Sect and Saint Moon Sect. The men coming here were all above the Void Stage.”
“The Void Stage is nothing before me. If it were not for the fact that I cannot be exposed to the sunshine, I would have killed them all. What a pity! The damn disease made me fail in their attack. Anyway, they had to carry five bodies of Void Stage masters. Hahaha…” After finishing his words, Bloody Demon King could not help laughing out loud and he coughed hard shortly after that.
Qin Hao hurried to comfort him, “Shifu, you’d better stop talking. Take a rest.”
“No! Hao, Listen, you cannot let them go, not even one of them. Destroy the three sects” Bloody Demon King had a vicious look and bit his teeth out of anger.
Qin Hao nodded seriously, “No worry, Shifu. I won’t let them go even if you don’t ask.”
“No, you are not strong enough to destroy them. I will help you.” Bloody Demon King seemed to make a big decision. His eyes were full of resolution and determination.
“Shifu, you’d better have a rest first. I will plan about revenge…” Qin Hao was just saying when the weak Bloody Demon King suddenly jumped and quickly hit at Qin Hao’s few acupoints and made him sit on the ground weakly.
“Shifu, what are you doing?” Qin Hao was quite frightened.
“Hao, keep your breath down and focus on your mind. Shifu is going to give what I have cultivated all my life to you.”
Bloody Demon King’s words made Qin Hao quite shocked so he hurried to yell, “Shifu, no, then you will be a disabled man.”
“A disabled man, hahaha. I have already been. All my strength, if I don’t give it to you, will fade away soon.” Bloody Demon King smiled with sadness and sorrow.
Such a top expert in the Divine Stage, his glory had passed, and only sadness in the end left. Luckily, he had kept an apprentice and his strength would not be wasted.
“Hao, no more nonsense. Get ready and I am going to start.” Bloody Demon King shouted and his palms fell on Qin Hao’s back. Qin Hao was astounded and felt that the vicious and overwhelming power was rushing to his muscles and vessels like a flood breaking the dam.
“No! Shifu!” Qin Hao still shouted out of pain.
“Hao?” Outside the cave, the Shi Bingying rushing here heard Qin Hao’s yell. She thought there was something wrong with him and rushed in the cave to attack while screaming.
“Roar!” Meanwhile, the Little Monster also roared while rushing into the cave.
The woman and the monster came in and found that Qin Hao was sitting on the ground and a wizened and ugly man was putting his hands on his back. An aggressive wave of power was wuthering and blowing around them. Their clothes and hair were also tossing with Qi releasing.
“Who are you? Let Qin Hao go!” Shi Bingying’s eyes turned cold. “Splash!” She reached out her weapon.
“Roar!” Little Monster also rushed forward while roaring and showed its sharp teeth towards Bloody Demon King. The woman and the monster were ready to launch an attack on Bloody Demon King to “save” Qin Hao from his hands.
