Beastmaster of the Ages-Chapter 3510 - Death of a Hypocrite

Did the two women really seek to kill Suishen Hongtian and the valley lord? Everyone froze at the sight of blades of flame and frost intersecting at the deepest part of the battlefield, completely speechless. The women were so strong that it hadn’t taken them long to kill Suishen Hongtian.

Since the beginning of the battle, House Qitian's members had been withdrawing. Some ran back to Qitian Cave, while the elites of the house had their own enemies to fight. At first, things were under control. The valley lord and his tensource beast were able to use their orders and experience to hold out against Yumo Diyan's rampage despite their injuries, toying with the specter as they retreated toward Qitian Cave.

"Why isn’t Suishen Hongtian here yet?" Both he and his tensource beast didn't dare to put too much effort into the fight in fear that the divine toxin would act up again, so they placed their hopes on Suishen Hongtian pulling them out of their predicament.

Major-zenith foundationeers were crucial to factions. A major-zenith foundationeer could easily fend off a group attack by minor-zenith foundationeers.

When the eminents of House Suishen had joined in, House Qitian had suffered significant losses, with three hundred reverends dead and eighteen eminents killed. Two of their minor-zenith foundationeers were also being ganged up upon. Those losses were akin to what House Yumo had lost in Infinitum.

Houses Suishen and Yumo, on the other hand, had the advantage of numbers and suffered fewer casualties. House Yumo had lost two eminents and around a hundred reverends, while House Suishen had only sent out their eminents to fight. Some had been injured, but none were dead. The numbers infuriated the valley lord.

"Suishen Hongtian!" He desperately needed him to even the odds against Yumo Diyan and kill him. "Did the kidnapping in Suishen Cave succeed or not?"

Even if they couldn't win with brute force, the hostages should be enough to make House Suishen surrender! The valley lord was growing more and more desperate as strategy after strategy fell through. First there had been the unexpected divine toxin, and this time, when he’d taken the risk to attend the ceremony, his schemes had fallen through once more.

When he saw Suishen Xiyue and Suishen Jiguang display their major-zenith prowess, his face completely seized up. "Impossible!"

Yumo Diyan also noticed the scene at the same time. Suishen Hongtian's betrayal had caused him to despair, especially when the valley lord had called out to him for help. However, the sudden change in the tides made him feel ultimate bliss as the valley lord realized the terror he would be faced with.

The valley lord furrowed his brows and yelled, "House Qitian, retreat to Qitian Cave!" He had planned to mount a fighting retreat while he killed Yumo Diyan and suppressed House Suishen, but he was still rational enough to abandon that goal and cut his losses with a full retreat. Qitian Muyu and the other members of the house were just as shocked.

"Qitian Xiao, your end is nigh! Today will mark the death of a hypocrite!" Yumo Diyan roared as he turned into a shade of black and white, charging forward with even more intensity.

"What’re you so happy about? House Suishen has five major-zenith foundationeers. If the two of us fight and weaken each other, they'll be the ones that sweep us up!" the valley lord angrily barked.

"Hehehe...." Yumo Diyan waved his weapons, Skyhook and Worldweeper, covered in the baleful aura of countless souls. Worldweeper's effects empowered the baleful aura even more. Each swing of the bat left trailing phantoms that reflected the suffering of countless souls.

He glared at the valley lord and snickered, "Are you still trying to divide us at a time like this? Let me tell you why I have to kill you.

"First, Suishen Hongtian’s been branded a traitor. He knows what heinous deeds he’s committed at your beck and call! There's no way he can side with House Suishen. Instead, he'll place his bets on your full recovery, which would make your side the strongest!

"Second, I have private ties with Suishen Ranxing, and he's the current leader of his house.

"Third, since ancient times, House Suishen and House Yumo have never broken the taboos of the Myriadpath Sacred Code despite our friction and conflict. You despicable Qitians were the ones who caused this civil war in Myriadpath Valley and made us lose each other's trust!

"Fourth, the death of our matriarch has enraged us all! Our hatred will never fade until your blood is spilled!"

If House Yumo had to pick one of the two to side with, they would definitely pick House Suishen. The super-zenith valley lord was far more of a threat to them, and he would never offer them a chance to work together.

As Yumo Diyan finished his speech, Suishen Hongtian perished. The two of them saw Suishen Xiyue and Suishen Jiguang charge toward them. Yumo Diyan laughed, "I was right! Your time is nigh!"

The two women caused the surrounding beastmasters of House Qitian to flee.

"Retreat!"

"We have to leave!"

"Is there anybody that can stop them?"

Obviously not! The only advantage House Qitian had held in the first place was the number of its major-zenith foundationeers. Their other forces were smaller in the first place, and there would be no reinforcements.

At this rate, House Qitian was losing on the fronts of reverends, eminents, and even major-zenith foundationeers, and it was all thanks to Suishen Jiguang and Suishen Xiyue's plans. Naturally, Tianming had also played a role by stopping Suishen Jinxuan and the other followers of Suishen Hongtian.

"Things aren't looking good."

"The valley lord must still have a trump card he hasn't played, right?"

"Maybe it's all part of his plan!"

The desperate Qitians resorted to a delusional fantasy, praying that their mastermind of a valley lord would be able to turn things around against the other two houses. But they weren't there to witness their respected valley lord's pained expression, one that was even worse than when he had been infected with the divine toxin!

"Qitian Xiao, you still think it's the time when you call the shots. Stop dreaming! Even if you've had many successes in this life, a single failure is enough to end you, let alone a second. It's time to acknowledge that you’ve been eclipsed! You're old and obsolete!"

Yumo Diyan ensured that every word he said crushed the valley lord's mental state, going for the bullseye every time. The valley lord, who had always thought that his bets would work out, felt the strain from all the contradictions.

And his tensource beast’s reaction was even more violent! It was meant to be one of the strongest beings in the universe, with nobody but the valley lord as the equal. It was effectively a second valley lord! But it wasn't able to use its full power. Even as it fought in tandem with its master, it wasn't able to take down an inferior fighter like Yumo Diyan, much to its chagrin.
