Chapter 479 - The heavenly path to the immortal plane (2) (1/2)

Chapter 472

/*unedited*/

Forming a lightning ball in front of his arms, Ming Lao carefully filled it with his Qi as it grows rapidly. When it was about his size, Ming Lao immediately released the lightning ball which flew towards the statues.

”Hahaha… once those things are destroyed then I will kill you myself, you brat! I will avenge my family… I will gain my honor back!” he shouted as a crazed look appears on his face.

Shin Jiao felt a shiver down his spine upon looking at the crazy expression of the Lao clan head. Although he is not afraid of the guy, he just felt his craziness a bit disturbing.

”You will die today!” Ming Lao shouted as he slowly backs away from the area.

Meanwhile, the lightning ball has already reached near the four life-like statues. Shin Jiao is also prepared to make a move just in case something would happen.

However, what happened next thoroughly stunned him and Ming Lao. This is because the lightning ball actually stopped a few meters before hitting entering the circular platform where the statues are. Then as if with a great suction force, the ball of lightning was quickly absorbed by the black sphere in the middle.

”This… this is the reason why this place is protected. Haha… I guess I have forgotten about it. It's been a long time, Hehe…” the man chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Shin Jiao almost stumble to the ground. How could an AI forget something like this? However, how can he know that the thing he is talking to is not an AI but a cultivator's consciousness? A cultivator's consciousness is something that embodies the real thinking, attitude, and trait of the person who made it.

”I have learned something, today senior…” Shin Jiao said while curiously looking at the black sphere in the middle.

Right now, he is itching to study that thing and know how it ticks. But of course, he has to get rid of the Lao clan head to prevent future troubles. And so with a wave of his hand, he took out his rifle.

Ming Lao on the other hand had a troubled look on his face. He has poured ¼ of his Qi in that lightning ball and it didn't even do anything. In his estimation and experience, the whole area would have already been blown to bits if the lightning ball exploded.

”What is that b*stard thinking?” he muttered as he saw Shin Jiao taking out a weird artifact.

However, his eyes immediately turned serious as he suddenly recalled what that artifact is. But of course, he sneers as he knew the real power of those things. They might be powerful, but they are not strong enough to kill him.

Wounding him might be possible, but he is not that stupid to just sit around and wait for that to happen. So with a quick motion, he grabs a shield and also grabs some rocks on the side of the cliff and formed a protective barrier in front of him.

”Haha… Do you think you can kill me with that toy of yours? You can just dream on! I will kill you myself!” he shouted as he began forming ice spikes in the air.

Then with a wave of his hand, the ice spikes began flying towards Shin Jiao's direction. Shin Jiao didn't let the ice spikes hit him, so he tried to dodge pitifully by rolling on the ground. He barely escaped the shards and some of them hit him and his robe shows some parts of it being torn.

”Haha… I now know how you were able to defeat my men. It is not that you are powerful. You're just relying on your gears! Haha… What a scam. I will kill you now!” shouted Ming Lao in excitement.

In truth, deep in his heart, he is already coveting the gears and artifacts that Shin Jiao possesses. This is because he knew that by using those artifacts, this simple and mortal looking young man was able to defeat the powerful Huabei Chan.

So now, he began to gather more ice shards, even rocks on the side of the cliff were turned into sharp spikes which pointed towards Shin Jiao's direction. The evil smirk on Ming Lao's face is evident as he can already smell his victory in this fight.

And without another thought, Men Lao sent bombardment of ice and rock spikes in Shin Jiao's direction.

Boom!!! Boom!!! Boom!!!

Loud explosion rocks the area as thick dark gray dust cloud was formed covering the entire crevice on the cliff. Even the rocks and land at the top were blown and slowly fell to the area turning everything into a mess.

But of course, the platform where those four life-like statues are was not affected. One can even see a circular thin energy film protecting it.

When Ming Lao saw this, he felt excited and calm. When he scanned the area, a smile crept into his face as he saw a hand under a ruble.
