Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates? - Chapter 225

As the continent split, Yue Bin, Guo Min, and Tan Xinyi transformed into dragons. Two golden dragons and one lightning dragon. They soared towards the sky and then dived inside the water. Upon diving inside, they floated near the edge of the island.

The golden wings behind Yue Bin and Guo Min slapped the water with immense power. Unlike them, Tan Xinyi was more focused on giving support. If two were on opposite sides of the broken continent, she was in the middle.

Her lightning wings weren’t flapping heavily but just Guo Min and Yue Bin with Power Law were slowly pushing the land towards the sky. But first, they need to get it out of the water. While lifting it, they realized another problem.

The land was connected. Although Qin split the continent, he didn’t separate it from the ground. They got no choice but to call for Zhao Tan’s help. They were thinking of calling Lan Ming but they realized Zhao Tan was much more suitable since he could pierce through the ground and inflict long-range damage.

Zhao Tan immediately rushed to the bottom of the sea. In front of him, there was nothing but massive land. He took out his spear and inject a massive amount of spear energy into his spear. At the same time, he condensed Destruction Law.

If there is someone who has the biggest accomplishment in Destruction Law between his group, then it would be him. Zhao Tan mastered Destruction Law to perfection. But, he didn’t focus on other laws. His spear skills were much more focused on destruction.

After infusing the Destruction Law with his spear, he pulled his hand back and took the stance. His body lowered a little as he took the step forward and put extra force in his hand. Because he was inside the water, his speed was slower but with additional force, he was able to pull a powerful attack.

The spear released the red spear energy coated with dark purple energy. It transformed into a spear and pierced through the ground. As it moved inside, it started destroying the massive chunks of rocks connecting the bedrock and the continent.

His strike reached almost half of the continent, easily overcoming one-third of the continent. As soon as he finished, Zhao Tan swam out of the sea while giving them a heads-up.

Guo Min, Yue Bin, and Tan Xinyi immediately started pulling the land up. As they pulled it with all of their strength, the remaining part that connected the bedrock with the continent got destroyed. In just a few minutes, the entire one-third of the continent was in the sky.

But, they didn’t stop there. They took the entire one-third of the continent to the middle of the continent. Here, it was full of people. Seeing such a giant island floating above them, they rushed towards it while Qin and others floated in front of them.

“Who are you?”

The people of this continent were different. They weren’t humans. They had humanoid but their skin was in different colors. Some even had blue and more importantly, they had horns on their heads. Some had one while some had two and some even had three.

But, except that, they do look like humans because of their humanoid shape.

Qin was amazed by their looks. This was the first time he had seen someone like them. But, he still had a cold look on his face.

“My name is Qin Che. I am a cultivator from Yan Continent. Everyone behind me is from Yuan Continent. And, I want an explanation. Why are your people invading my continent?”

Hearing his words, the man floating in front of him clenched his fist. He was at the peak of Mortal Realm. But, in front of Qin, he could easily feel the difference. Even those humanoid dragons were stronger than him.

Not to mention, the island in front of them. He took a deep breath and sighed “We don’t have many resources left. That’s why we are trying to evade your continent. Without enough resources, our future generation won’t be able to match us.”

His words made sense. Qin immediately understood the reason behind their invasion. It wasn’t just expansion. They want more resources for their future generation. Qin scanned them properly and immediately found nearly fifty people who have reached the peak of this world.

This made him quite interested. He couldn’t help but smile and say “Alright! I understand why you did that. And, even I would do the same if I was in your position. But, that continent is still where I was born and raised. I don’t know how many people you have killed nor, do I plan to know. I just want to stop this war right here, right now.”

“Of course, if you want to disagree, please!”

“This is unfair.”

The man suddenly screamed. Even his people looked at him with surprise. Some of them were already releasing their qi to fight against Qin but the man didn’t move. He looked at Qin and continued “This is unfair.”

“Your strength is no longer bound by this world. Your strength has already reached the Half-Saint Realm. So, why, why are you interfering here? If we don’t get enough resources, our future generation is doomed.”

His words were quite frank and he was easily admitting his lack of strength. But, Qin found this much more interesting. Up until now, he thought the more people cultivate, the lesser their IQ gets. This means they will get more arrogant.

But, these old men and this man whom he just met were quite low-key. They immediately recognized his strength and didn’t believe that their strength was over his. But somehow, this didn’t break their Path.

Normally, people do not get arrogant because they have less IQ. This is actually false. They have to get arrogant. If you admit defeat even before you fight, your path is finished right at that moment. And nobody wants that. This is why he thought the old people won’t admit the lack of strength.

But, it is quite different with the people he has met. These people were admitting that they were weak. He made a playful smile and spoke.

“Indeed! My strength is not something you can challenge and I shouldn’t interfere but I will say this again. I was born and raised in that continent. How can you even expect me to stay silent?”

Hearing his words, the man clenched his fist and bites his lips. He wanted to rebuke but had no words coming out of his mouth. Qin wasn’t wrong after all. If it was him instead of Qin, then he would’ve done the same thing. There is no way he would just let anybody invade his continent.

Seeing his sad expression, Qin further continued with his speech “But, I don’t think slaughtering you will do any good. Instead, I have a perfect idea. Do you want to hear?”

The man looked at Qin with confusion but also some interest. Qin continued “I will not destroy or even kill your people. In return, I want fifty of you to become my subordinates. I have been taking subordinates but actually, I don’t know the reason.”

“Just think of this as a kindness. These old men behind me are the strongest people in my continent and they have also become my subordinates. If you agree to my words, then I will find resources for you.”

When that man heard his words, he was startled for a moment. But, he didn’t immediately reject it rather he thought for a moment and asked “For how long do you want us to be your subordinate?”

“Of course, for all eternity. Of course, you don’t have to worry about benefits. You would easily be able to break into the next realm as long as you become my subordinate. Of course, you are my subordinate, not your race. But, if they do something that is against my morals, then you will be punished.”

“How about it? I will allow you to surpass yourself and you will swear your loyalty to me.” Qin answered without even thinking for a moment. Of course, he won’t have subordinates for a few months or years. If he wants to have some subordinates, he will have them for all eternity.

As for this new idea of having more subordinates, it came from Xiao Lan. He didn’t tell him the reason but he said if he was going to recruit a few subordinates in this way, then he should recruit more subordinates.

In short term, this didn’t matter much but according to Xiao Lan, it would have a huge impact in long term. Qin didn’t think too much. It’s not like he was going to manage them. He was just planning on doing something for them in return for their loyalty.

The man looked at Qin for a moment and said “Can you give us a day to think?”

Qin thought for a moment and said “You either have to be my subordinate or fight. There is no other solution. I can’t trust someone even if he makes an oath. And, my friends can’t hold that island for long. If they drop it here, you know what will happen.”

“So, make your choice fast.”
