Chapter 429 - Death Before Dishonor (2/2)
Huangpu Fenglei was scared silly. With the three Radiant Stage experts so close and primed to blow, not even Imperial Tyrant Body Art could bear it.
He used all his Yuan Qi to unleash a golden glow and make the trio fly.
Too little, too late. With one last smile, to Huangpu Fenglei’s frantic look, three earth-shattering explosions wrecked the place.
Boom~
The huge balls of flame swallowed the sky, shaking up everything. Even with the array in place, Drifting Flowers City was now in ruins.
Yan Bogong ducked just as the tide of flames passed him. One careless twitch could burn his head clean off.
Once the cool wind set in again, the people looked shell-shocked.
The mountains around them were now flatlands while the trees floated around as ashes.
The Bone Tempering disciples had their meridians crushed and died. Maybe they wanted a closer look at death, or just sheer bad luck, they stuck their neck out to see the glorious apocalyptic flame, only to have half their body burnt, testament to their folly.
Yan Bogong’s heart was shaking all over.
[What a frightening explosion! And that came out of three Radiant Stage expert’s self-destruction. Then what about the person at their core, their High Venerable…]
He looked around in panic and shouted, “High Venerable, are you alright?”
Bam!
A black figure slammed the ground.
Yan Bogong rushed over to see Huangpu Fenglei’s face burnt black, laying there broken and robbed of any air of superiority.
Pff!
Blood spurted out and Huangpu Fenglei wheezed. Looking around at the faces, he rejoiced at his new lease on life.
“High Venerable, you’re amazing to come out alive from that. You’re the only one in Tianyu to pull it off!” Yan Bogong gave a thumb’s up and a good ass-licking.
Huangpu Fenglei had no time for his gibberish, frowning, “Why did they do it?”
“Uh, you mean those Drifting Flowers Edifices’ Venerables?” Yan Bogong smiled, “Who cares? They couldn’t beat you so they decided to drag you down as well. But they never thought, even this couldn’t kill you. You’re still in one piece. He-he-he, they died for nothing, the idiots!”
“No!”
Huangpu Fenglei shook his head weakly, “A cultivator that has reached the Radiant Stage would cherish his life above everything. They would never throw their lives away unless it is the very last resort. They could’ve used the Drifting Flowers Edifices’ array to stall me and escape. So why…”
Yan Bogong paused, “Pigheaded… perhaps?”
“Ha-ha-ha, that’s putting it mildly.” Huangpu Fenglei barely propped his body, “Drifting Flowers Edifices, a women’s domain, hasn’t survived all these years on empty words alone.”
Huangpu Fenglei limped away.
Yan Bogong asked, “High Venerable, aren’t we attacking?”
“Of course we are, fool. But that’s your problem. I need to dress my wounds. Can’t you see I can’t even fly and have a busted leg? ” Glaring back, Huangpu Fenglei cursed.
But he didn’t leave without a final piece of advice, “Don’t get careless, Drifting Flowers Edifices’ womens can’t be underestimated.”
Yan Bogong nodded, exchanged a glance with Lin Rufeng, [Looking at your wretched state, we can glean that much. Though…]
They looked back at Drifting Flowers City and felt a headache coming.
Without a Radiant Stage to support them, how many years would it take to break through?
The Regent Estate’s experts only acted as support, leaving the heavy lifting to them. The only helper, Huangpu Fenglei, was now away on medical leave…
