Chapter 782: Power of Fire, Attack!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Chen Chong’s words naturally had some reason!
However… if everyone in the world acted according to such logic and based their actions upon it, the world would be too tragic to live in. In fact, there would be no more meaning in living…
People should always insist on what they wanted!
If people only had profit in their hearts, to a point of disregarding the line between good and evil, even if the person was a Saint or a Saint King, there would be no more redeeming qualities in him as a person!
The words ‘our conscience is clear’ had not only completely crushed Leng Tong, even Jun Mo Xie felt his b.a.l.l.s ache just by hearing it! If such an ungrateful, shameless, and despicable fellow who burned all bridges after crossing them, someone who only cared about profits, could claim that his conscience was clear…
Then, this daddy would rather be a base man! A hoodlum for the rest for this life!
Taking another 10,000 steps back, even if Chen Chong’s reasoning was really acceptable, then should I, my family, and all the Xuan Beasts in Tian Fa allow themselves to be slaughtered freely by you? Where was the logic in that? As long as one was alive, they would strive for a better life before talking about other things. If one did not even have the most basic self preservation as a guarantee and still wanted to forcefully stick out their necks, that was not a hero. That was a fool!
Just the thought of how a divine beauty like Mei Xue Yan was forced to her current state caused Jun Mo Xie to seethe with rage! What dogfart clear conscience? What dogfart changing history! Someone who was able to say such words and yet act so despicably could actually still boast about having a clear conscience. This alone caused Jun Mo Xie’s killing intent to surge to the nine heavens!
Right now, Jun Mo Xie’s process of absorbing all the water from the surroundings was nearly complete.
He was not only planning to raze this place… his other objective was to gather some water and let Mei Xue Yan have a nice place to bathe inside the Hongjun PaG.o.da…
Not just a place to take a bath, but also one that would allow her to swim freely. It would be considered a place for her to destress when she’s bored. Otherwise, if she only cooped herself inside all the time, the loneliness would be truly hard to bear.
Although Jun Mo Xie could pop in any time he wanted, he couldn’t accompany her inside indefinitely… there were still many things waiting for him to do in the outside world…
Therefore, Jun Mo Xie had already decided long ago. Not just this lake; he would move any interesting things he came across inside in the future as well… even if Mei Xue Yan needed to stay a few more years inside, he would make sure that she would be completely comfortable!
This was also the only thing he could do at this point.
At this time, there were still four cognizant people in the cave. n.o.body spoke a word, and they remained sitting, drinking gloomily.
The alcohol gradually surged to their heads. Leng Tong snored loudly at the side. Even as he slept deeply, his face contorted in a thoroughly disappointed expression…
After a long time, Chen Chong suddenly laughed aloud. “Satisfying! This is the best drink I’ve had in several hundred years! Ever since I stepped into the Supreme realm, this is the first time I’ve gotten drunk in 340 years! Today, I have finally experienced how it feels to be an ordinary person! After getting drunk today, even if I die tomorrow in the battle, I will have no further regrets!”
Chi Tian Feng also joined him and laughed joyfully. “Living and dying… life is but a dream; it’s nothing more than that! Isn’t it just a battle?!”
The four became more invigorated and smiled.
All of a sudden, all four of them detected a trace of anomaly at the same time, like an extremely ill omen rising from their hearts. They all sat up and shuddered as they exchanged a look. Without any hesitation, they all rose up and rushed out of the cave! In the short time they moved to the exit, they had already circulated their Xuan Qi around their bodies, completely purging the alcohol!
The entire mountain was completely silent, and the only things in front of their eyes were only the empty coldness and the heaviness of the darkness! Even the stars and the moon were dim and colorless!
“Looks like everyone noticed it too. Just what is going on?” Sa Qing Liu looked at the surroundings warily.
“It seems like there’s a pressurizing and suppressive feeling!” Chen Chong looked around seriously, and his spirit sense surged out swiftly. “This kind of odd pressure only appears before a deadly enemy appears. From the looks of it, our opponent should have arrived!”
“It seems a little too quiet! There isn’t even the least bit of sound from the bugs and birds!” Chi Tian Feng looked around and gasped in shock. “And why is it so dark? Where did the snow and ice on the mountain disappear to? And the dryness of the ground…”
The moment he said that, the other three also realized the anomaly and observed their surroundings more intently. As expected, the snow which had not even begun to melt had completely disappeared now. There wasn’t even the slightest sign of any wetness on the ground at all!
The only areas that had any bit of water was their bodies. After all, after forcing the alcohol out of their body, it was inevitable that their skin would become wet.
Just what was this scene before their eyes?
Chen Chong expression was heavy, and his eyes swivelled around keenly like an eagle’s. All of a sudden, he exclaimed in shock. “The humidity is one thing… but why is the ground also so dry? Even those aged trees over there are also so dried out! It’s early spring, and it’s the season where all life is supposed to flourish. Just what happened for such a great anomaly to appear?!”
As he said that, Chi Tian Feng and the other three also realized it at the same time, causing them to collectively draw in a breath of cold air.
From the looks of it, everyone’s intuition was right.
A powerful enemy had arrived! Apart from this, there were no other explanations!
“I know that you’re here! Since you’ve come, just show yourself! We’re destined to have a battle sooner or later. All of us are people with status; what’s the need for hiding around and playing ghostly tricks? Doing so would only incur the mockery of the people in the world!”
Chen Chong raised his voice and shouted loudly. At the same time, he stared intently into the darkness. Although the surroundings were pitch black, everything became clear the moment he sent his Xuan Qi out! However, despite observing for some time, nothing strange appeared.
His voice travelled out, echoing endlessly through the mountains, not dissipating for a long time.
Far off in the darkness, a faint cold sneer rang out. That voice seemed somewhat hoa.r.s.e and old, also carrying a type of suppressed anger. “The three Holy Lands… how incredible ah. To think that a bunch of three, four hundred years old decrepit Saint realm elders actually joined hands to bully this old man’s 18 year old disciple… And to even send nine at the same time! This old man is truly shocked and impressed at this stroke by the Holy Lands!”
He laughed dryly twice and continued in a sharp tone. “The ages of each one of you are over 20 times greater than his… May I ask, do you Saint realm experts find this matter of bullying the young and the weak… fun?”
Chen Chong’s face turned red, and he did not answer, directly avoiding the clear provocation. He looked up and said in a steady tone. “As expected, the Third Young Master Jun’s master is here. Dare I ask, is your surname Feng?”
That aged voice sounded again, light and wispy, but carrying a bone freezing chill. “What this old man’s surname is is none of your business. You all only need to know one thing. There are consequences for harming my disciple’s wife!” As he said the last sentence, a shocking killing intent blasted out, instantly covering the entire mountain!
“Consequence? Hahaha…” Chen Chong laughed aloud. “I wonder what consequences senior is talking about? What amazing capabilities does senior have that could make our three Holy Lands pay the price? Could it be that senior wishes to challenge all three Holy Lands alone?”
As Chen Chong spoke, Chi Tian Feng, Sa Qing Liu and Cui Chang He had already sent out their spirit sense in an all encompa.s.sing search. But strangely, although that aged voice seemed to be coming from quite close to them, they still could not find a single trace of the speaker despite covering several tens ofli !
“Don’t think that you can use the name of that three rotten lands to scare this old man! In this old man’s eyes, the name of the three Holy Lands is no different from the signage hung outside those cheap brothels, perhaps even less! At least the prost.i.tutes are making an honest living and selling themselves openly. But you three manure lands lead the lives of filthy wh.o.r.es and yet expect a monument to your chast.i.ty! How disgusting! Chen Chong, you really think too highly of the three Holy Lands! As for the price of offending me, not only must the few of you pay for it, the three dogsh*t Holy Lands behind you must give this old man an explanation as well! There’s no discussion on this!”
That hoa.r.s.e voice grew heavy all of a sudden. A heaven shocking spiritual sense burst out, powerful and as sweeping as the raging oceans!
North, south, east, west, front, back, left, right… the sky and earth… it pressed down from all directions!
Every single direction was instantly covered in the shocking spiritual sense. Even the mountain also sunk from the pressure!
Chen Chong and the rest all trembled intensely in that moment.
Such a terrifying level of strength had already surpa.s.sed everything that they knew long ago! Just the power of this spiritual sense was completely unheard of to them! Such power! Such arrogance! There was a kind of domineering aura in this spiritual sense, as if it dared to go against the very heavens—overwhelmingly strong and crus.h.i.+ng!
The four suddenly felt as if they were tiny little rafts in the middle of a violent sea. They could only allow themselves to be tossed by the waves, completely helpless to resist!
Everyone gasped with shock!
Such a powerful cultivation was probably enough for even a Saint King to despair!
Just what kind of background did Jun Mo Xie’s mysterious master have? How did his strength reach such a terrifying level?
Even the legendary Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master back in the day was probably only on par with this!
A cold laughter rang out, as if it had come from the heavens, instantly covering the entire area. “Frogs at the bottom of a well have no way of knowing the immensity of the heavenly river. Little runts of the three Holy Lands, this old man will let you take a look at my abilities!”
Pausing for a short moment, the voice rang out again. “Power of Fire! When will you burn if not now?!”
The moment these words were finished, a loud boom rang out, and the entire mountain burst into flames soaring into the sky, blazing several hundred zhangtall!
This place was still completely dark a moment ago, without a shred of light. But the moment that aged voice sounded, the world was covered in flames! Not a single thing was not on fire. Even the ground that the four was standing on had turned into an ocean of flames!
The entire mountain—everything—was on fire! There were no warnings, nor preparations!
