Chapter 4299: Crush Them With Rocks
âCrush them to death.â Li Qiye ordered.
âSect Master, you want to personally kill that Eight Tiger?â Elder Hu inquired again.
âNo, that little demon isnât worth my time. Just throw rocks at them.â Li Qiye smiled.
âUh⦠throw rocks at them?â Elder Hu thought that he misheard.
âYes.â Li Qiye confirmed.
Elder Hu stared at him in confusion. Was this a joke? Eight Tiger Demon was a yin yang cultivator.
âSect Master, Iâm not sure this is the time to play aroundâ¦â He responded. If cultivators could be killed by rocks, then no one would bother to cultivate.
âAny rock will do, large or small, just throw it really far and high in their direction.â Li Qiye ignored the skepticism.
By this point, Elder Hu began to question Li Qiyeâs sanity. If it wasnât for his otherworldly dao instruction and impeccable knowledge, the elder would think that he has a mental illness.
However, Li Qiye had won over the sect by this point. They trusted him despite hearing how ridiculous it was.
âIs this actually possible?â The elder asked again.
âWhy not?â Li Qiye remained patient.
âWith all due respect, Sect Master, I donât think any cultivator will die to a rock.â The elder responded.
âIf you throw a rock with full strength at a mortal, will he die?â Li Qiye asked.
âMmm⦠absolutely.â The elder admitted.
He was powerful compared to mortals. If he were to toss one with all of his might, the mortalâs head would explode regardless of the rockâs size.
However, these demons werenât mortals. Eight Tiger, in particular, was stronger than any of them.
How could their sect kill these demons via rocks and stones? Logic was not on their side.
âJust listen to me, miracles can and will happen.â Li Qiye stared coolly at the sky and said.
âIâ¦â The elder eventually gritted his teeth and said: âSect Master, I shall obey.â
He needed to try everything in this desperate situation because Li Qiye was their sliver of hope. Others might consider this ludicrous but he still wanted to bet on Li Qiye.

âTime is over, Little Diamond! Will you surrender or fight?!â Eight Tiger roared from the base of the mountain.
âEither way, that Li guy will not be allowed to live. I will drink his blood and taste his flesh!â Du Weiwu shouted while gritting his teeth.
Meanwhile, Elder Hu passed on Li Qiyeâs command: âThe sect master has spoken, we shall throw rocks at them. Any size is fine.â
âCome again?â Not to mention regular disciples, even the elders became slack-jawed.
âIs there a mistake?â The first elder asked Elder Hu.
âNo, thatâs a direct order from the sect master.â Elder Hu smiled wryly and confirmed.
âLike regular rocks? We just throw them?â The first elder started questioning Li Qiyeâs sanity as well.
âYes, just throw them. He said to go as high and as far as possible.â Elder Hu said with doubt.
He thought that he was crazy too after giving this command, especially during this existential crisis.
The disciples nearby became confused and exchanged glances. However, their respect for Li Qiye kept them calm so they didnât protest.
âEight Tiger, our sect master has decided. We shall fight against unwelcomed enemies!â The fifth elder who was on the front line answered.
âHahaha, very well, so you want it the hard way instead. So be it, donât blame us for being merciless as we break down your gate and crush your sect.â
âGet ready for battle!â Elder Hu joined the frontline as well and ordered: âPick up rocks!â
The disciples either sheathed their weapon or tossed them to the side. They looked around to find random rocks or dug them up from the ground.
âWhat are they doing?â The demons were at a loss while watching this.
âYou want to kill us with rocks?â Eight Tiger burst out in laughter.
âHahaha!â His men felt the same way.
âOh god, these idiots want to play with rocks? If rocks can kill us, we all might as well commit suicide.â One of them joked.
âThereâs something wrong with your new sect masterâs brainâ¦.â
âI know, theyâre trying to make us laugh to death, hahaha!â
âI didnât expect him to be this stupid, looks like even the heaven wishes for your sectâs demiseâ¦â Du Weiwu laughed heartily.
As he was laughing, Li Qiye who was standing on the peak casually picked up a stone and threw it down.
âBoom!â The stone struck and smashed the youthâs head. Fleshy bits and blood splattered everywhere. He didnât even have the chance to scream before falling backward on the ground.
The waves of laughter in the demon horde subsided instantly.
âThrow!â The first elder shouted and led by example, being the second to throw.
âThrow!â Fellow sect members did the same.
âWhoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!â Though they mustered all of their might, the offensive power was still limited.
âHmph, no way these rocks can kill us.â Eight Tiger sneered and was prepared, unlike Du Weiwu.
However, once the rocks got high enough, the air suddenly changed. There seemed to be a power manifesting out of nowhere and blessing all the rocks. Or, it might be that they have reached an elevation high enough to touch a mysterious force and gain its blessing.
