Chapter 1530 Killing their Way up Flame Mountain!
Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha moved to Hidden Wind’s training grounds. They were immediately delighted upon seeing the verdant greenery all around them, a gentle breeze wafting through it without any other people around, just silence. It was so much better than the situation they had to deal with while living with Dragon Dou.
The people of G.o.d Metropolis knew that Hidden Wind was not someone they could provoke, so none of them dared to take a step into the territory that he had claimed as his own.
There was a simple wooden hut in the valley, where Hidden Wind and Hidden Water were waiting for them. Upon seeing Traveling Buddha, Hidden Water’s cheeks immediately flushed as she very shyly said, “Sit down quick. I’ll go brew some tea.”
Traveling Buddha was still clueless, swaggering over to a seat and sitting down like he owned the place.
Hidden Water kept sneaking glances at her sweetheart as she brewed tea. Ever since Traveling Buddha and Xia Fan had returned from flattening Planet Four, Hidden Water’s feelings toward Traveling Buddha had only flourished. In her eyes, Traveling Buddha was a man who could hold up the heavens, an indomitable hero!
!!
“Watch this for yourself,” Hidden Wind said to them as he turned on a screen and played a video.
They watched as a humanoid gibbon stood proudly on top of a mountain shrouded by clouds. Its red hair looked as intense as h.e.l.lfire, giving off a frightening glow about it.
Facing the camera, this gibbon opened his mouth to speak, a ferocious mug on its face as it hissed through gritted teeth, “Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha! Listen up well! I will give you three days’ time to come to Planet Three and accept your punishments! If not, I will personally descend upon G.o.d Metropolis to retrieve your heads!”
It was a short video, but the red-haired gibbon had shouted out a fatal threat to Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha. If they did not comply, not only would Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha be killed, it would even start a ma.s.sacre in G.o.d Metropolis, slaughtering humans equal to at least ten times the amount of dead on Planet Four!.
After they were done watching the video, Xia Fan asked curiously, “What’s this monkey’s background?”
Hidden Wind replied, “He isn’t your average monkey, but someone that has broken past his Law Barrier. The humanoid ape you killed on Planet Four was one of his sons!”
Through Hidden Wind’s description, Xia Fan finally understood that the sapient beasts were also capable of breaking through their Law Barriers. The red-furred monkey was a beast expert that had a Fire-type special ability, and was at about the same rank as Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha.
Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha had ma.s.sacred Planet Four, killing the son of the Fire Gibbon in the process! He was currently incensed, wanting Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha to come to Planet Three and die on their knees. If not, he would make the trip out to G.o.d Metropolis to find them, and also slaughter a host of humans at the same time!
“This news is currently being intercepted by the Four Great Clans, and isn’t known to the public. Otherwise, it would surely cause an uproar, and the people of G.o.d Metropolis would be panicking over their wellbeing,” Hidden Wind said.
Hidden Wind furrowed his brow, waiting for Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha’s response. The Hidden Clan’s patriarch had ordered Hidden Wind to relay this information to Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha. It was his a.s.sumption that when the two young men heard the news, they would panic and seek aid on how to resolve the situation.
That way, the Hidden Clan could use the opportunity to intervene, helping Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha deal with their problem and help recruit them to their side.
Presently speaking, Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha were bound to the Dragon Clan as Dragon Dou’s bodyguards. If the Hidden Clan showered Xia Fan and TB with status and wealth, the two young men would surely be beside themselves with joy.
However, Hidden Wind suddenly saw a strange glint rise in the eyes of Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha.
Traveling Buddha was the first to frown, “Planet Three, you say? Are there a lot of beasts there?”
Hidden Wind nodded, “Much higher in number than Planet Four, and they are much higher in rank, too.”
*Clap!* Traveling Buddha slapped his thigh and said, “So I see. Since everyone is looking for us, it’ll be downright awkward if we don’t turn up!”
Xia Fan nodded in agreement, “That’s what I think, as well. Since this Fire Gibbon has strongly demanded our presence, we ought to agree to go to him!”
“When should we go?”
“Why not right now? It’s not like we’re doing anything here anywhere.”
“Yeah sure. I happen to have Dragon Dou’s token with me, so we can go and rent a s.h.i.+p.”
Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha chatted as they stood up, and Hidden Wind gasped in shock, “What are you two doing?”
Traveling Buddha shrugged and said maliciously, “What else are we going to do? Of course we’re going to apologize. We are civilized folks, after all.”
Hidden Wind nearly wanted to vomit. These two thugs were actually not embarra.s.sed to call themselves civilized?
Hidden Wind never would have guessed that Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha would actually respond like this, to be so bold as to head off to Planet Three and directly kill off the Fire Gibbon who had tried to threaten them!
“We’ll kill them!” “That’s right, kill them all!” Traveling Buddha and Xia Fan said one after another, killing intent evident in their eyes.
That was when Hidden Water returned with her brewed tea. Stepping into the wooden hut with the tea set, she saw the killing intent surging in Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha, who looked to be about to leave, and was instantly left dumbfounded, her expression very troubled.
“You two had just arrived, yet you’re leaving already? I had prepared plenty of nice things for you out of the kindness of my heart…” Hidden Water was hesitant, sounding somewhat aggrieved, unwilling to let them leave.
Xia Fan understood her heart well, so he smiled and said to Hidden Water, “Don’t worry, this won’t disrupt our dinner. We’ll be back soon!”
…
…
The Beast King Fire Gibbon lived on a peak called Flame Mountain. At present, there was the sound of people lamenting rising there.
“They were too cruel. They killed them all in a blink of an eye!”
“By the time we got there, it was full of dead bodies, and those two accursed humans had even cleaved their heads open to retrieve their crystals!”
“They were really too much! If we don’t take them out, it’ll be the shame of us sapient beasts!”
A group of these sapient beasts were wailing right now about the inhabitants of Planet Four. There were not that many of them, and Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha had not actually purged all of the sapient beasts there, but merely a portion. Those who still survived had all hurried over to the scene and discovered the flowing rivers of blood. Feeling like they had been bullied, they had hurried to Planet Three to complain.
The sapient beasts knew that the son of the Fire Gibbon had been killed by the hands of two humans, and he was sure to be very angry. Thus, they had specifically picked some very ugly words, all in the hope that they could infuriate the Fire Gibbon further, compelling him to appear and avenge the sapient beasts of Planet Four.
The beasts from Planet Three happened to be much higher rank than those from Planet Four. There were plenty of apes on Flame Mountain, many of them no longer having their thick fur and looking more human-like. Furthermore, they had learned to use various technologies, building their own long-distance communication network, and they had wars.h.i.+ps as transports. If they had nothing to do, they would even play virtual reality games.
The apes on Flame Mountain all gnashed their teeth, expressing their seething hatred for Traveling Buddha and Xia Fan’s actions. Although all the apes were of different species, they were all still considered to be a single beast race. They had deep bonds with each other, so they could empathize after hearing about how the humans had bullied the beasts from Planet Four.
“None of you panic. Lord Blaze has already sent his threat to the humans. Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha are going to come to Flame Mountain to meet their doom, or we will attack G.o.d Metropolis!” an ape declared.
Blaze was the name of the Fire Gibbon. The beasts that came to complain were all elated. They felt that with Lord Blaze at the helm, they were sure to be avenged! They were already eagerly waiting with bated breath, hoping to see the day when Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha would kneel down on the ground, and be left in a tragic state after the Fire Gibbon beat them up.
All of a sudden, the entire mountain rumbled and shook. A loud explosion was heard in the distance, and at the same time a chorus of mournful cries arose. They could be heard clearly within a hundred miles, and were simply too tragic and heart-rending to hear. It was like someone was being tortured!
“What’s going on?!” The sapient beasts leapt to their feet, nervous expressions on their faces as they looked around.
“They came! They came!”
“Speak clearly! Who came?!”
“The humans! Those two humans that just ma.s.sacred Planet Four are now here!”
“They move so quickly, there’s simply no way for us to stop them!”
“That d.a.m.ned fatty has covered himself in light, and no weapon can penetrate it!”
The underlings of the Fire Gibbon were all hollering, climbing up the mountain with blood flowing down their heads. They all looked terrified, fear in their eyes, blabbering nonsense, as if Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha had frightened them witless.
“F*CK!”
The beasts on the mountain were infuriated. The two humans were too bold! The Fire Gibbon had been looking for them, so they had actually taken the initiative to appear on Flame Mountain? Were they not seeking death?
Looking down, sure enough, there were two humans, currently making their way up the mountain with great momentum. The two of them looked like they were just strolling in their own back garden, chatting as they made their way. They did not seem like they were a.s.saulting the mountain, but more like they were here for a sightseeing excursion.
In the next second, an ape that had been hiding in the shade suddenly appeared, intending to ambush Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha. Undeterred, Traveling Buddha simply received the attack head-on, lifting only a fist against the huge ape. Using just his left arm, a golden dazzling light flashed.
*Boom!*
The ape was instantly shattered. n.o.body knew just how much strength TB used, but a mere punch was all it took to turn the ape into a mist of blood. Nothing remained of the ape’s body; it was truly a most ruthless attack!
“d.a.m.ned humans!” an underling of the Fire Gibbon bellowed from the top of the mountain, cursing Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha.
“What?” Little Old Buddha glared in his rage, looking around everywhere. There happened to be a huge rock to their left that was made out of granite. It was tens of meters high, and weighed at least a few hundred tons.
Without another word, Traveling Buddha grabbed the huge granite rock with both hands and with a mighty heave lifted it up, causing the stone underneath his feet to crack instantly. “You dare curse yours truly? I’ll squash you all alive!”
The huge rock that weighed hundreds of tons went flying through the air, drawing a beautiful arc and smas.h.i.+ng into the top of the mountain, scaring the group of beasts there till they nearly p.i.s.sed their pants.
He was actually able to treat a huge rock weighing hundreds of tons like a grenade?
That fat human was simply a monster!
