Chapter 127 - Profiting from Someone’s Misfortune? Are You Okay with It? (1/2)

A massive rumble could be heard as the earthen courtyard wall collapsed. Fiery Thunder tumbled into a different sect’s courtyard. In the end, he was sprawled on the ground and quickly disappeared.

Aqua Thunder didn’t fare any better than Fiery Thunder. The bones of his two arms were completely broken, and his lower stomach was caved in. The man knelt on the ground, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. It looked like he was unable to die from his appearance.

“How is this possible?”

Aqua Thunder had already been ejected from the state of the Great Sage Fist. He looked at Qin Fen in helplessness and disbelief. The Great Sage Fist combined with hypnosis made him truly akin to the Monkey King Sun, giving him a body of copper skin and iron bones. He wasn’t afraid of even an encounter with a practitioner of the Iron Mantle. How did a practitioner of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art and on the same level as him break his arms so easily? And six of his ribs as well?

Qin Fen carried an imposing air of having just defeated two experts by himself. He gazed at the crowd around him and asked, “Who else wants to fight?”

….

The Thunder Mountain Villa turned incomparably quiet. Most of the members of the villa were merely at the two-star strength, and there were even people with one-star strength among them. Everyone possessed self-awareness when it came to facing Thirty-Six Hours, someone who had defeated two four-stars by himself.

Qin Fen placed his gaze back onto Aqua Thunder, who he had left alive on purpose. “Now can you give me back Dragon Hall’s sign?”

“Dragon Hall….” Aqua Thunder was half-kneeling on the ground as he sneered, “We sold that sign long ago to the Guardian Deity Sect.”

“You sold it?”

Qin Fen didn’t have a good understanding of the rules around here. He could only cast his gaze toward his adviser, Zhang Xiangyang.

“Hall Master, selling other people’s signs is a very common occurrence.” Zhang Xiangyang arrived before Qin Fen. “Once a sign has been seized, one needs to wait for five days to pass before one can obtain the system’s rewards. However, who is daring enough to protect the sign for five days and ensure that no one takes it away? Therefore, this is how the matter of selling signs came about. Those who seized a sign would often sell the sign to sects who are confident of being able to hold onto the sign until the final day. They would often sell it for forty or fifty percent of the system’s rewards.”

Qin Fen shook his head over and over when he heard this. He fought for the better part of the day and yet his sign was still not in his possession. “The Guardian Deity Sect? Where are they?”

“Opposite of the street, to the left side.” Aqua Thunder answered very simply. Thirty-Six Hours could only continue on for the sake of his sign. Whether Guardian Deity Sect loses or Thirty-Six Hours loses, Aqua Thunder wouldn’t suffer any losses. Instead, he could rejoice in the misfortune of others. Who wouldn’t do the same as him?

Qin Fen nodded his head, turned around, and was about leave when he suddenly recalled something. He asked Zhang Xiangyang, “Does this count as beating a sect in a sect-challenge?”

“Yes.”

“Then I can take away this place’s sign?”

“Of course you can!”

“Okay!” Qin Fen yelled to his comrades outside the door. “Help me tear down the sign…”

Before Qin Fen could even finish his sentence, Qin Fen’s comrades had already rushed toward the top of the entrance in cheers.

“Let’s go. We’re going to the Guardian Deity Sect….”

“Hold it!” A furious howl came thundering from the collapsed wall. “You have destroyed our courtyard’s wall, and you want to leave without apologizing?”

Qin Fen was anxious to get his own sign back. He turned and cupped his hands toward the courtyard wall. “Sorry, please forgive me.”

“You think just saying sorry can fix problems? What do you think police exist for!?” The man who roared from the courtyard wall raised his leg and crossed the crumbled wall. “This courtyard wall of mine isn’t cheap. If you don’t leave behind three to five thousand dollars, then don’t even think about leaving.”

Qin Fen looked at the person who arrived. The man had a height of around a hundred and ninety-five centimeters. The crescent blade within his hands showed that he possessed Herculean strength.

“I’m not paying. Do you want to fight or not?” Qin Fen asked straightforwardly.

“Of course! When you lose, you will give me the sign of Thunder Mountain Villa!”

Qin Fen smiled once more. It took a while, but the opponent finally admitted that he took a fancy for the value of this sign.

“Quickly give me the sign if you don’t want to die. You are indeed amazing for being able to defeat the thunder pair of fire and water, but you must have just about exhausted all your strength, right? Just be tactful and give me the sign.”

The smile in Qin Fen’s eyes grew brighter. So it turns out that the reason this man challenged Qin Fen in such a rampant manner was that he believed he found an advantageous bargain for the sign.

“Are you the leader on the other side of that wall?”

“I am the Sect Master of the Heaven’s Chosen Sect, Wang Kai.”

Qin Fen finished listening to this man’s self-introduction and simply arrived by Zhang Xiangyang’s side. From Zhang Xiangyang’s hand, he took the Heaven Scorcher Halberd he seized from the Certain Victory Sect. He didn’t say any words as he walked over to Wang Kai.

Wang Kai’s eyes bulged wide as he saw that Qin Fen was approaching. He swallowed some saliva and looked at Aqua Thunder, who was kneeling on the ground, once more. Indeed, Aqua Thunder wasn’t faking it.

“You want to fight?”

Wang Kai’s voice lacked all confidence. The thunder pair of fire and water weren’t weak. They were very difficult opponents in one against ones in fights where everyone was on the same four-star level. In a one against two, it was practically impossible for a four-star to beat them. Even if one managed to beat them, one would probably spend all their energy doing so.

“Come! Brothers! Prepare to tear down the sign of Heaven’s Chosen Sect!”

With this roar, people were already charging into Qin Fen’s attack range. The Heaven Scorcher Halberd was akin to a fierce dragon piercing through the surface of the water. The halberd’s body let out vibrations akin to the sound thousands upon thousands of bees dancing in the air. The tip of the halberd pierced the air, causing the air to scream like the scream of a little girl!
