Chapter 510: Five Consecutive Kills
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Wen and Xia Kunqian flew in a southwesterly direction. Their aim was to kill the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art pract.i.tioners in the Snow Storm Stratagem. Those Sacred Flame Sect Elders that had ended up alone were naturally their targets.
Wu Jian was weaving through the Snow Storm Stratagem very gloomily. For half a month, Sacred Flame Sect and Intentionless Sect had been in consecutive battles. Wu Jian actually abhorred the Snow Storm Stratagem. It was surprising that the small Intentionless Sect had such a powerful stratagem that the much larger Sacred Flame Sect did not possess.
Every time they attacked Intentionless Sect, Wu Jian would lose his way in the Snow Storm Stratagem. For a long time, he would not even be able to ascertain his direction. Then, out of nowhere, people from Intentionless Sect would appear and shamelessly launch a joint attack against him.
He simply hated this feeling, in which he did not seem to have an advantage in the environment. He would actually rather battle ancient martial art pract.i.tioners in his own realm than roam mindlessly in the Snow Storm Stratagem.
Whizz whizz!
Two waves of crackling sounds rang out. Wu Jian’s eyes turned towards the sound. Without even having to think, he already knew who had appeared. The chances of meeting people from the same sect in the Snow Storm Stratagem were too slim. Instead, it was exceptionally easy for the people of Intentionless Sect to track them down.
For half a month, Sacred Flame Sect had trapped Intentionless Sect in the Inner City, yet Sacred Flame Sect had been on the defensive side right from the start. Even when they had yet to break out of the Snow Storm Stratagem, the people of Intentionless Sect would have already found them before they were able to enter the area of Intentionless Sect,
“It’s actually that Old B*stard, Xu Kunqian. I’m a little unlucky.” Wu Jian recognized the old man in front of him at a glance. It was the Grand Sect Elder of Intentionless Sect, Xia Kunqian. When faced with such a person, he would naturally recognize him as a Sect Elder of Sacred Flame Sect.
Wu Jian had enough self-awareness to know that he was no match for the Grand Sect Elder of Intentionless Sect. However, he was not anxious. Although he was no match for Xia Kunqian, he could still run even if he was not able to win the battle. Even though he was in the Snow Storm Stratagem, if he was intent on escaping, Xia Kunqian could not stop him.
When faced with weaklings, one should kill. When faced with stronger people, one should flee. For half a month, Wu Jian had been following these principles. After all, using brute force against Intentionless Sect would only result in tragedy. Wearing out Intentionless Sect bit by bit was the most effective method.
“Wu Jian, Sacred Flame Sect’s eleventh Sect Elder.” Xia Kunqian had appeared with a flash of his figure in front of Wu Jian. He spoke calmly. Wu Jian recognized him, so naturally, Xia Kunqian recognized Wu Jian as well. There were only so many Sect Elders in Sacred Flame Sect so there was essentially no one that they could not recognize.
“Old man Xia Kunqian. We haven’t met in a few days and you are not dead yet.” Wu Jian was in no hurry to escape yet. Instead, he spoke with a laugh. Although Xia Kunqian’s Cultivation was very high, he was still only at the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm. His power was insufficient to cause Wu Jian to run just at the mention of his presence. If he wanted to escape, he could do so anytime.
“It is a pity that I have disappointed you. However, you will be the one dead this time.” Xia Kunqian looked at Wu Jian expressionlessly.
“Old B*stard Xia Kunqian, since when did you learn to boast? Could it be that just because you are bringing a little disciple along, you feel mighty and undefeatable?” Wu Jian laughed coldly. Wasn’t this old man always very conservative? Wu Jian found it easy to ridicule him. However, this time, Xia Kunqian had not come alone. Instead, he had brought a youth along with him. This had actually surprised Wu Jian quite a bit. What was the use in bringing a youth? Could it be that he was here to teach his disciple to battle?
With regards to Mo Wen, Xia Kunqian did not seem to worry that he was overlooking him. If it was possible, he wanted to wait until he was ready to escape and then secretly kill off the youth before leaving. However, he knew that it was not very possible with Xia Kunqian’s protection.
“Little disciple?” Upon hearing that, Xia Kunqian was slightly stunned. His gaze was odd as it s.h.i.+fted onto Mo Wen. The youth did look a little immature. However, n.o.body would have imagined that two Sacred Flame Sect Elders had died at his hands just the day before. If Wu Jian knew, he would not have remained so calm.
“Kill him off, he is simply talking too much nonsense.” Mo Wen was expressionless as he calmly shared his thoughts with Xia Kunqian.
Wu Jian was taken aback by Mo Wen’s words. Then, he burst into laughter, saying, “I don’t mind if the master is insane but this lad is actually even more insane. Indeed, the disciples turn out just like their masters.”
“Noisy.” Mo Wen let out a cold humph. Then, with a flash of his figure, he lunged directly at the Sacred Flame Sect Elder. Then, he delivered a tight smack onto his face.
“You simply do not know the meaning of death.” Wu Jian’s expression immediately turned ugly. It was not because he feared Mo Wen but rather thought of him as too arrogant. Did someone like that really think he could slap him? What had made him hit him as he wished? He must have been tired of living. In his fit of fury, Wu Jian extended a palm out towards Mo Wen, with the intention to kill Mo Wen off with one strike.
The old B*stard, Xia Kunqian, was not preventing him from doing that. Hence, he could not be blamed for anything that happened.
Wu Jian had only extended his palm halfway when it suddenly stopped. Then, he trembled a little and staggered before almost falling directly onto the ground. In his head, it was as though he had been struck by lightning as there was a sudden explosion. It had caused such intense tremors that the scene before his eyes turned completely black.
Piak!
A crisp sound of a slap resounded as Mo Wen struck Wu Jian’s face once again, causing him to fly backward.
Wu Jian continued to roll and only stopped after being flung tens of meters away. He staggered as he tried to climb up and his eyes were full of disbelief as he looked at Mo Wen. It was as though he was looking at a ghost as he exclaimed, “How could it be!”
What had happened just now? He had actually been struck by a nasty lad who was still wet behind the ears. He simply could not believe what had just happened. It was something that even Xia Kunqian could not do, so how could a mere youth do it?
Moreover, what exactly had just happened? His head felt as though it had been bitten by something, and it was so painful that he almost fainted.
Xia Kunqian’s pupils dilated as he looked at Mo Wen, a little dumbstruck. Beforehand, when the Deputy Sect Leader had told him, he was still partially in disbelief. It was very difficult to believe that a youth could directly cause harm to a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art pract.i.tioner.
It was not until the previous scene had happened before his eyes that he finally believed it. Everything was actually true. Moreover, it was even more intense than he had imagined.
Initially, he had thought that Mo Wen would only have a momentary effect on a Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art pract.i.tioner. Even then, it would have been shocking. Moreover, with a momentary control, he would already be able to take the upper hand and even get the chance to kill the enemy.
However, he never imagined that the Soul attack dealt with by Mo Wen would be so intense. With Wu Jian’s condition now, no matter what his attack was like, there was no doubt that he would be able to kill Wu Jian.
“Elder Xia Kunqian, you may attack. Kill him off. There is still other prey waiting for us.” Mo Wen was calm. He did not have much interest in Wu Jian and the only interest he had was in the ten spiritual stones that he would be able to get if he killed him. With such a deal, he naturally wanted to kill a couple more. Moreover, people of the Sacred Flame Sect would definitely become an obstacle for him in the future. Killing off a few more masters at this point was not a bad idea as well.
With Xia Kunqian by his side, Mo Wen naturally would not be so foolish as to take action by himself. Otherwise, what was the use of having a Sect Elder of Intentionless Sect tagging along?
“Young friend Mo Wen, I will not hold back then. Could I invite you to please unleash your previous shocking remarkable technique?” Xia Kunqian laughed loudly and immediately felt very at ease. With Mo Wen’s help, killing an ancient martial art pract.i.tioner with the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm was as easy as killing chickens and dogs. Yet, that was actually a Sacred Flame Sect Elder. Was there anything more pleasing than that?
The Soul attack technique by Mo Wen had already been lifted to the standard of a remarkable technique in his eyes.
“Old b*stard Xia Kunqian, just what do you think you are doing?” Now Wu Jian realized that things did not seem to be in his favor. With a loud shout, he turned and began his escape attempt. Although he had not understood what they had come for, he sensed that things did not seem right. The youth beside Xia Kunqian was simply too vicious.
However, with Mo Wen around, Wu Jian would not have been able to escape even if he grew a pair of wings. The Soul attack immediately caused reverberations in his head and caused him to stumble, almost falling onto the ground.
At the same time, Xia Kunqian grasped the chance to appear by Wu Jian’s side. With a direct punch, he fiercely hit Wu Jian. The frightening force penetrated Wu Jian’s body, causing a dent the size of a bowl.
A Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art pract.i.tioner’s body composition was extremely strong. It was difficult even for Mo Wen to inflict such scary injuries. Yet, Xia Kunqian’s simple punch had done the trick. His power was really shocking.
Wu Jian spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His body twitched twice yet he somehow managed not to fall over. He used all his might to turn his head towards Mo Wen, saying exhaustedly, “You… How… did you do it…”
It was simply like a nightmare. He had never imagined such a situation would happen. How had the youth managed to do it? He finally thought of the two Sacred Flame Sect Elders that had disappeared just yesterday. Could their disappearance be related to this youth? He really wanted to return to Sacred Flame Sect and report everything to their Sect Leader. However, he knew that he no longer had the chance to.
“You can ask the King of h.e.l.l when you go to h.e.l.l.” Xia Kunqian laughed coldly. Once again, he dealt a punch onto Wu Jian’s chest, directly causing his heart to be reduced to ashes.
With a flash of his figure, Mo Wen appeared in front of the corpse of Wu Jian. He waved his hand and a golden flame wrapped around his corpse. In a moment, it had cremated him into ashes. Once the cold wind blew, the ashes were completely buried in the thick snow.
Only after successfully killing off a Sacred Flame Sect Elder did Xia Kunqian look at Mo Wen in shock. This youth was indeed not one to be messed with. He believed that it would even be easy for Mo Wen to strike him.
“Sect Elder Xia, let’s continue on. There are quite a number of prey available in the Snow Storm Stratagem.” Mo Wen laughed menacingly. Those Sacred Flame Sect Elders were now sparkling spiritual stones in the eyes of Mo Wen.
Xia Kunqian nodded his head. An unexplainable excitement welled up within him. If he was able to kill a whole bunch of Sacred Flame Sect Elders, the pressure on Intentionless Sect would be significantly reduced.
Mo Wen and Xia Kunqian continued to roam the huge Snow Storm Stratagem, as they tried to find and kill Sacred Flame Sect Elders non-stop. By the time the morning was over, they had actually killed four Sacred Flame Sect Elders. This was an unprecedented event.
