Chapter 639A – With the Master Dead, the Hatchet Cannot Survive

Bang –

The banquet hall suddenly became the incarnation of a raging sea. All of the cultivators inside instantly paled. Their eyes turned round and their faces filled with fear and panic. None of them knew what had just happened.

What was the meaning of this? As a solemn sequencer, someone wished to take the life of Lord Woodchopper? Today in this grand hall, who dared to do this? And who could possibly achieve it!?

Woodchopper Fu soon unraveled the confusion in their hearts. He raised a hand and grasped out. Space crumpled and a black hatchet flew out, falling into his palm. With the hatchet in hand, Woodchopper Fu’s aura rose once more. The phantom of a hatchet appeared in everyone’s minds, one so vast and large that it seemed it could cut through the highest heavens and deepest earth!

“My surname is Fu. For the first half of my life I chopped firewood to live, and for the second half I used this hatchet to survive. Throughout the long years, the tens of millions of years, I have continued to suffer and struggle. But in the end, I couldn’t give up on the smoke and dust of the mortal world. For this, I have committed many sins, doing many things that go against my conscience.

“I remember many of them but I have forgotten even more. Still, if anyone were to ask me, I would say that I have never regretted it. This world is so wonderful and every day is a new beginning. Just how lucky is it to live? If I was born in this world, how can I give up on it?”

The man pointed his hatchet at Qin Yu. “Crossing through the river of time, I have depended on nothing but this hatchet of mine as well as the will to never give up…so, I ask the Demon Sovereign to please hand over his head today so that my tens of millions of years of toil will finally bear fruit!”

Zuo Dongdong’s eyes widened. His brain was filled with a single thought – he was done for, completely done for! Suddenly, his eyeballs rolled up into his skull and he fainted to the floor.

At his side, Qin Yu finished drinking his cup of wine and placed it down. “Then, I’ll have to see whether or not you have the ability to take this head of mine.”

Their auras clashed. The massive hall was blown open from the inside. Crushed stones flew out, immediately reducing everything to ruins. The stunned guests within still hadn’t regained their composure before they were sent shaken away, all of them spitting out blood in midair.

In the next moment, all of them froze. Their eyes widened as the image of a radiant white saber light was reflected in their pupils. It howled forth as if it would cut down all!

Beneath this saber light, Qin Yu’s eyebrows couldn’t help but twitch. A faint stabbing pain tore at his mind.

What an incredible saber!

He suddenly understood why Solitary Westgate had said that Woodchopper Fu would be the strongest grinding stone. Just as he said, for Woodchopper Fu to survive until today, what he relied on was this hatchet of his.

To raise his hatchet and break through the years, defying the limited years of life that fate had given him…it wasn’t difficult to understand how his hatchet could produce such a terrifying saber strike.

But no matter what happened, he would have to die today.

Qin Yu took out a jade ring pendant and tossed it forward. As for Foxflower’s warning, he never cared about it from the start.

Pa –

The jade pendant was eroded by the saber light and shattered into pieces. The phantom of a towering ancient tree appeared. Its thick branches spread out like a tide, swallowing up the saber light.

Woodchopper Fu’s eyes were cold and callous. There was no fluctuation in his pupils from the sudden change that had occurred. He raised his hatchet and slashed out a second time.

This saber strike was much simpler than the first. The white saber light was less visible and its aura seemed much weaker. But, wherever this saber light went, the space of the Sealed Stone World constantly disintegrated. Numerous spatial cracks followed in its wake.

It had to be known that the Sealed Stone World had an extremely formidable imprisoning power. No matter how dreadful one’s cultivation was, unless they were a sequencer they could give up on any ideas of leaving. For this saber to be able to break apart the space here, this alone proved how terrifying the strike was!

As if cutting into a thick layer of rubber, the ancient tree phantom violently shook and swayed. Countless branches and leaves disintegrated into nothingness as it tightly wrapped around the saber light. The ancient tree phantom twisted but didn’t show signs of breaking. Then, Woodchopper Fu cut for a third time.

The aura of this saber strike was even weaker than the last. When this third saber strike fell, there wasn’t even any stir accompanying it.

A lift, a fall, as if nothing had ever changed.

But the ancient tree shook. Foxflower’s face appeared in the bough of the tree, his earnest eyes filled with helplessness as he said, “My friend, I hope after today I can obtain some of your true trust.”

The ancient tree phantom shattered, turning into countless green flows of energy that gathered together, condensing into a massive green leaf that seemed as if it would drip water.

Qin Yu’s eyes shrank. It was clearly just a leaf, but the feeling it gave off was as if it could cover the whole of the heavens.

One leaf to cover the heavens…this should be it!

Suddenly, the veins on the green leaf were slashed apart and a scar appeared on it. This was just a common-looking scar, but in Qin Yu’s eyes the scar seemed wide enough to tear open the skies. He could clearly feel a destructive energy emanating from the edges of the scar.

Decisive, overbearing, always moving forward!

Foxflower’s weak voice sounded out, “This is as far as I can help you, my friend.”

The green leaf slowly disintegrated and vanished.

Qin Yu stepped forward. “Fellow daoist Woodchopper, after three saber strikes, will you still continue?”

Across from him, Woodchopper Fu shook his head. “These three saber strikes have exhausted my energy. I must say that I admire the Demon Sovereign’s methods!”

In the world of cultivation, it didn’t matter if one’s actions were despicable or not, or even if they were fair. As long as one was the last person smiling in the end, that was the only thing that mattered. Qin Yu hadn’t made a single move and had resisted Woodchopper Fu’s three strongest saber strikes. Woodchopper Fu couldn’t blame anyone or complain to anyone; he could only accept the stark reality of the si
