Chapter 1404: Elder Duan Is Awesome!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At this time there was a lot going on inside the Celestial Burial Valley.
Mo Junchen and the mountainous turtle were still fighting to a stalemate.
Duan Jiude and all the others of the Exploding Heavens Faction were facing down what remained of the Sea Tribe Army.
But eventually this kind of situation was destined to be broken.
“Everyone, the comeback I’ve been waiting for is here. Today I, as an elder of the Exploding Heavens Faction, will go first into battle to serve as an example for you,” Duan Jiude, filled with a heroic spirit, shouted out with great confidence.
He stepped out boldly.
His eagerness to join the battle was simply because he knew that his life wouldn’t be in danger because he had just practiced divination and seen the results.
So he took this opportunity to put on a show, in order to continue to receive adoration and wors.h.i.+p from everyone.
If fortune smiled on him, who knew? Perhaps he could even take over b.u.t.tface’s place as Vice Faction Leader!
“Let’s all cheer for Elder Duan!”
“Mr. Duan is awesome!”
The Eight-headed Serpent and everyone else from the Exploding Heavens Faction zealously applauded him.
Duan Jiude wore an excited expression and satisfaction was overflowing on his face. He looked into the sky that was filled with the Sea Tribe Army with not a bit of fear or worry.
“It’s not common for me to battle. Today I represent the Exploding Heavens Faction, so I will of course choose the strongest opponent,” Duan Jiude spoke stridently as he intended to begin the attack with his imposing manner alone.
With this att.i.tude, he lifted his hands and pointed high into the sky toward the turtle, who was still fighting with Mo Junchen, and thunderously shouted, “You! Come down here to me! Fight with me! Come down, come!”
The enormous turtle didn’t even acknowledge Duan Jiude. The struggle with Mo Junchen was already putting a damper on its fighting spirit. It’d just discovered that in this cultivation stage the humans were much stronger than it had thought. Especially in their physical strength, they came close to the same power that he possessed.
ARGH! “The turtle’s afraid to come down! I suppose it’s understandable. I am, after all, an elder of the Exploding Heavens Faction.” Duan Jiude nodded his head in emphasis, then glancing back at the turtle, he added, “Forget it! I’ll let you go this time!”
“Yes!” The Eight-headed Serpent shouted loudly.
“Elder Duan is incredible!”
The Exploding Heavens Faction cheered uproariously. Everyone was impressed by Duan Jiude’s courage and majestic air.
On the other hand, the Sea Tribe Army, especially the commander at the peak of the Heaven Celestial stage, had faces filled with murderous rage.
UGH! “This bunch of useless thugs, common human beings, are you looking to die?!” the commander muttered coldly as he swept across the sky, a long lance in one hand, straight toward Duan Jiude.
The commander’s impatience had been brewing as he watched Duan Jiude show off. This time, his attack was going to be stronger than the one he had used on Liu Jingning.
BOOM!
He swung his lance, and immediately a loud explosion could be heard as the s.p.a.ce around Duan Jiude emptied out, forming a void. An immense power with the strength of a mountain rushed directly into Duan Jiude!
BLAM!
Duan Jiude flew into the air like a kite without its string, then fell from the sky and dropped heavily onto the ground, with a fountain of blood spurting from his mouth.
The entire Exploding Heavens Faction became rooted to the spots where they stood, their faces shocked into terror.
“Why…was that so weak?”
“What happened to the divination?”
“I’m still waiting! Why is he not coming? Did I act too soon?” Duan Jiude flew to his feet. This wasn’t how he’d imagined the fight to be.
“Ho, you’re a piece of garbage, how can you be an elder?”
The commander returned to the ground. He stood tall and broad, keeping a hand on his lance. His face was full of ridicule as his arrogant gaze swept over everyone.
He stared hard at the Exploding Heavens Faction and derisively smiled as he spoke, “This piece of garbage is an elder?! It proves what a mockery your faction is! A bunch of ants gathering in one place, this is in fact simply an anthill.”
The Exploding Heavens Faction members clenched their fists tightly, their faces filled with anger.
“We are the Exploding Heavens Faction…when has someone humiliated them before?”
“Ha, I am elderly, my ears aren’t good. What did you just say? What am I?” A cold voice sounded in the silence.
Duan Jiude slowly stood up. His face was frozen in a rage that would’ve made anyone shudder with fear. His eyes stared coldly at the Sea Tribe commander.
“I said…you old thing, you’re a piece of garbage,” the commander laughed, his eyes full of disdain.
This was how the powerful would speak to those weaker than they, this att.i.tude was expected of someone at the peak of the Heaven Celestial stage when speaking to a weakling of the Earth Celestial stage.
“Ha, ha, ha, all right, yes. I…it’s been many years since I’ve felt such anger. This is too good,” Duan Jiude laughed as he spoke, appearing sincerely grateful for such a situation.
Step by step, he closed in, his figure a blur as he stopped in front of the Sea Tribe commander.
“So you like to be angry! Let me satisfy you. Take your anger to the grave,” the commander sneered as he spoke, raising his lance as the power once again formed a void.
SWOOs.h.!.+
Suddenly, Duan Jiude moved his body like a mist, his silhouette burst forward.
PEW! PEW! PEW!
Alongside the sound of the sky breaking up, Duan Jiude’s hand released several tiny black spheres that accelerated at a great speed toward the commander.
UGH! “What useless tricks,” the commander spoke coldly and smiled as his grip slightly tightened on the lance.
POW!
The little black spheres in front of the commander disintegrated completely.
But then, where the spheres had disappeared, a blanket of red powder spewed out and covered the commander.
“What??” the Sea Tribe commander didn’t know how to react. The little black spheres had just exploded, and he had been able to avoid those. But now he was unable to dodge the red powder that was falling on his face.
“Oh! What…what is this stuff?”
Right away, the commander yelled sharply as the red powder fell into his eyes, causing unbearable pain.
Duan Jiude didn’t stop. He quickly took out more little black spheres as he sprinted forward. Then, from his chest he took out a jade bottle and aiming directly into the sky, he let it explode right in front of the commander.
POW!
There was another loud sound. The jade bottle exploded into a cloud of mist with a smell that stung the nose. The mist fell over the commander’s body, and white smoke immediately began to rise.
AAHHHHH!!
The Sea Tribe commander screamed in agony.
At this moment, a dark shadow flew past. It was Duan Jiude rus.h.i.+ng up to the commander!
“How dare you insult the Exploding Heavens Faction! I don’t care who you are, you must die!”
He shouted extremely loudly, his voice as clear as a bell.
With both hands on a sledgehammer, his waist and legs standing firm, he twisted his body and swung the big sledgehammer in a full circle. With great force, the sledgehammer smashed into the commander’s legs.
POW!
The commander with the powers of a peak Heaven Celestial was thrown into the air. Duan Jiude’s enormous sledgehammer also cracked as it hit the commander.
Everyone in the Exploding Heavens Faction just stood still in shock, their mouths wide open as they stared in amazement.
“Flinging crushed red pepper!”
“Hurling toxic water!”
“Hitting him with a giant sledgehammer where it really hurts!”
Throughout the entire fight, his movements had flowed naturally, and everything had been finished in what seemed like a single second. This was the ultimate tomfoolery.
Elder Duan, you are truly incredible!
