Sword Devil Also Dual Cultivates?

Chapter 226: Embarrassed Leader

At this moment, that man clenched his fist when he realized that he had no chance of bargaining at all.

Fight him? If he was so stupid, he wouldn't have raised over fifty peak-level cultivators in his continent. He knows when to retreat and when to charge. But, at this moment, he had no retreat and no way to charge.

The only way is to surrender. Something he has done but not to this extreme. The more he thinks about it, the confused he gets. Because for him, this wasn't actually a problem. Because he doesn't mind being someone's subordinate but he doesn't want his entire continent to become someone's continent.

He takes a deep breath and asks "If one day, one of my people or some of my people decides to attack your continent without my consent. How will you deal with them? Will you blame our entire continent or only them?"

"Of course, I can't blame all of you. I will simply search their soul and find out the traitor. And, if the people of my continent attack, I will do the same. If you are truly trying to measure between advantage and disadvantage, then let me ask you something. Are you willing to stay at your current strength or grow stronger?"  Qin asked.

This question made him stern. He immediately understood what Qin want to say but he still wasn't convinced. And, how could he be convinced? He just met Qin a few minutes ago. If not for his strength, he wouldn't even bother talking to Qin.

This was the law of their world. If you want to talk, they have the strength to back it up. Even if you are a son of an emperor, if you don't have strength, nobody will respect you. This is the most prominent truth.

The man took a deep breath and turned back. He floated in front of his people and started discussing. Qin turned back as well but before he could move away, the man spoke "I agree but only fifty of us will become your subordinate. Our future generation will not be your subordinates."

"Hahaha! We will see that. Who knows you might force them to be my subordinate? Anyway, relax your body. As I said before, I can't believe in empty promises or oaths. I have my own way of maintaining loyalty."

Laughing out loud, he condensed fifty swords around him while speaking. His move confused them but these swords instantly reached in front of their forehead. It shocked them. They didn't even get a chance to retaliate.

Because his sword was literally traveling through space. Those swords pierced their forehead and entered their sea of consciousness.

"That is my sword. And, it has my consciousness in it. Basically, you can use it as a trump card. Now, you have fifty trumps. You already know my strength. And, those swords won't run out ever but they will hibernate when you use them continuously."

"So, I suggest using them carefully. And, if you harbor the thoughts of betrayal or even betray me, then that sword will take your life. There is no excuses or reason. That's all for now. I will send you resources after some time. And, I want you to cooperate with Yan Continent.

Since they are also my subordinates, you can discuss with them."

Saying so, Qin floated towards the island and said "Alright, let's throw it back at sea."

But suddenly, he turned back and asked "By the way, my friend saw giant holes carved underwater. Is that how you guys reach Yan Continent?"

The man nodded his head and said "Yes, we can use ships but they take a long time. And, flying costs a lot of qi as well. So, we generally use this method. And, since the entire structure is already built, our soldier can simply run to another continent while taking rest in the middle."

Qin nodded his head as he understood how it works but suddenly a question rang in his head as he asked "What would happen if we break it?"

"Then, the water will enter the holes." The man replied but suddenly his eyes widened and the same goes for Qin. If the water of the ocean passes through that hole, it could flood the entire Yan Continent. This is something they didn't want to see.

Qin instantly rushed towards Yan Continent. This time he didn't wait. He simply grabbed his fasted speed and in the blink of an eye, he was already thousands of miles away. He was using the Space Law with his sword's speed.

After a few hours, he finally saw the shores of the Yan Continent. He immediately dived inside the ocean and saw the hole connected to the land. Then, he took out his sword and once again poured Destruction Law together with killing intent and sword energy.

"Ultimate Ruthless Sword- Devil's Mercy!"

Bang!

His sword sliced the hole from the corner and the entire structure slammed onto the bottom of the sea. But, the massive amount of seawater was already flooding the coastal area of the Yan Continent. He flew out of the ocean and took a deep breath.

He puts back his sword and spreads his arm. Then, he starts moving his arm and leg in a strange posture. He does it a few times and slowly the water that has reached the Yan Continent stars falling back to the ocean.

He wasn't rewinding time. He was using Water Law to control the water. But, slowly his forehead got covered in sweat. Although using Water Law wasn't a big deal, he was controlling too much water. This placed a massive burden on him.

After half an hour, he pulled all of the seawater from the coastal part of Yan Continent. Thanks to mastery, he only drew water and didn't pull any living being or even things into the sea. When he saw finished his job and thought of resting, a few people appeared in the sky.

"Thank you so much for helping us!"

One of the men floated in front of him and bowed. When the water started getting pulled back, they instantly noticed Qin. And, they were watching him for half an hour. Qin just raised his hand and landed on the ground. He sat down to take a rest.

Those men also noticed his movement and reason so they didn't disturb him. They planned to thank him after he recovers but when he did, he just left. They were speechless.

Qin didn't dare to stay there any longer. After all, this was also his fault. If his team hadn't broken the structure and lifted the entire part of the continent, this wouldn't have happened. So, he couldn't bear to see them thanking him even though it was his fault.

After that, he returned back to that continent. At this moment, his team had already dropped the part of the continent on the ocean and were helping connect it. That part was a complete waste of time but it did make a powerful impression on those people.

Qin immediately went to that leader of the continent and asked "So, where is the Holy Pagoda? I heard there is Three Lives Scripture."

The leader looked at him with surprise and nodded his head.

"Indeed! There is Three Lives Scripture but it is at the top of the pagoda. One needs to pass through the bottom to the top but nobody has ever reached the top. I will take you to that pagoda."

The leader took him to another country on this continent. Slowly, he realized that these people were separating themselves based on horns on their heads. If they had one horn, these people were the weakest and had the lowest status.

Having three makes you strongest and the person with the highest status. In the middle of that country, there was that pagoda. It was shining with golden light. And, it was tall. It seemed to have nine floors which were quite interesting.

"What is the highest floor you reached?" Qin asked as he looked at the leader but the leader didn't reply. His cheeks were turning red from blue. Qin suspiciously looked at him as he replied.

"None of us has ever reached the second floor."

When he said that, Qin tilts his head and sighed.

"I understand. This is a treasure way beyond your capability. But, then why would you say the Three Lives Scripture being on the top when you haven't even crossed the second floor?"

The leader blushed even more and said "It felt shameful to say that we haven't even crossed the second floor. So, we have adjusted the second floor as our top floor. As for how we know. When someone crosses the floor, you will get a reward and also get the knowledge about the second floor and its reward."

"Oh!" Qin nodded his head with amazement in his eyes. He turned back at the pagoda and asked "What was the reward of the first floor?"

"Bloodline of Rainbow Horned Devil! Our ancestors got this bloodline and it has been passed down from generation to generation which is why we are so colorful and have horns. We were originally humans but now we are both human and devil." The leader explained.

"I guess I have quite a lot of history with Devils." Qin sighed.
