795 Solve With a Clenched Fis (1/2)
Several miles outside the Jade Scale Restaurant, a man was sitting on a large branch of an old but luxuriant tree, his bare feet swinging back and forth. His shirt was open at his chest, which revealed his white skin underneath.
Holding a bamboo flask of wine, he sipped from it continuously as he watched from afar.
”Great Commander Yan of the Ancient Jade Holy Land… Yet another person who was blinded by greed. Everybody knows how precious Taotie's Heart is. There's no doubt that Amethyst Elder and Bi Liantian wouldn't just ignore it… So why is it that up until now, they have not shown their faces?”
Mo Liuji took another swig of wine, smacking his lips before adding, ”Because they're scared…”
He whipped his long hair and exhaled, filling the air with the smell of alcohol. His face was dyed red.
He raised his hand, which had true energy winding around it like a silk thread. A moment later, a dazzling star compass emerged.
The starlight on the star compass was luminous. Thousands of brilliant beams connected at various points, creating mysterious routes that were illuminated by a magnificent radiance.
”Yan Cheng… I'll give you a reading for free... You'll face certain doom, more specifically, you will be beaten to death...”
Symbols flashed in Mo Liuji's eyes and disappeared shortly after. He immediately gulped down another swig of wine and laughed.
The Ancient Jade Holy Land's Great Commander would be beaten to death. That in itself was exciting enough.
…
”Bu Fang young man, can I trust those words?! Five Spicy Strips for me just this once?”
Nether King Er Ha's body, which was shrouded under the black robe, trembled in excitement. His face brightened up as he said excitedly, ”You promise that you won't pay on credit?!”
Bu Fang's eyes were deep and profound. The mental energy around his body had almost materialized once more as the terrifying aura began to emit again.
”No credit. Once the deed is done, I will make you Spicy Strips,” Bu Fang said casually.
Upon hearing his words, the Nether King's aura immediately skyrocketed. He burst out laughing as his black robe was blasted open, revealing his suave and handsome figure.
”Owner Bu, this king really appreciates you. What a good-looking and sensible young man! Hahaha!”
The next moment, Nether King Er Ha stepped forward. He stood right in front of Bu Fang and grinned as his figure shielded the latter from the numerous arrows flying toward him.
Yan Cheng's eyes were cold. The murderous aura emitted from him became thicker and thicker as the void was shaken to its core. Radiance coursed along his black longbow, looking like it was ready to exceed its limit.
Buzz…
One of the black arrows became a long stream of darkness. It changed its trajectory and flew straight at the Nether King.
”What kind of dog or cat are you? How dare you stand in my way?! Get lost!” Yan Cheng shouted imposingly.
His thundering voice boomed throughout the entire second floor of the Jade Scale Restaurant.
Nether King Er Ha stopped laughing immediately. He looked at Yan Cheng in outrage, thinking, ”What did he just say?! He said that I'm some cat or dog?”
Which feature of this king was even remotely similar to that gluttonous and lazy dog?
That young man clearly wasn't raised well. Better to have his head lopped off. That would sober him up!
Nether King Er Ha covered half of his face with his hand. The other half of his face showed an evil but charming smile, his eyes staring down at his opponent.
It was as if his eyes had the power to control the flying arrows, stopping them mid-flight.
The black arrow revolved terrifyingly in place, as though it wanted to drill a deep hole right in the void.
Nether King Er Ha parted his lips, gently blowing.
Immediately, that black arrow boomed and flew backward, hitting the other arrows behind it.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
The sounds of arrows colliding echoed throughout the room. All the arrows were blown away, sending sparks everywhere.
”You've got skills… But do you think it ends here?”
Yan Cheng narrowed his eyes as he saw the Nether King take action. His aura surged, and his true energy pulsed torrentially like an unyielding dragon. He raised his hand, and the buzzing sounds reverberated.
His hand waved.
Yan Cheng's eyes bloomed with beams of light.
The arrows that were pushed back began to spin in the air. A moment later, they all aimed at Nether King Er Ha again.
The multiple black arrows in the void shot toward Nether King Er Ha.
That sight gave a hair-raising feeling, which made Liu Jiali feel like he was thrown into an ice chamber.
His eyes were filled with disbelief. He could clearly sense the intimidating energy from each individual arrow.
A single arrow had enough power to pierce through him with ease. He could not resist one, let alone a whole mass of them like that!
There was no doubt that the Great Elder Chu Changsheng was killed with such an attack. The wide holes on his body were definitely caused by those black arrows.
It was simply frightening!
This fellow… Who was he?!
With fear in his eyes, he turned to look at Bu Fang. However, upon looking at Bu Fang, he felt unusually calm.
It was all because Bu Fang was incredibly composed in that instant. There was not a hint of worry nor fear on his face at all. His eyes remained closed as his mental energy gushed forth.
The bubbling sounds of boiling liquid arose from the Black Turtle Constellation Wok. The thick spirit energy and fragrance began to twirl and linger in the air.
It was the aroma of the Taotie's Heart being cooked…
That aroma of meat carried with it an extreme rich flavor. Its smell was so alluring that people could not help but be immersed in its dense aroma. The smell could be detected from ten miles and beyond, shrouding the entire long street of the Gluttony God City in its fragrance.
Mo Liuji took a swig from his bamboo flask. He took in a deep breath of the meat aroma in the air, which made him relax in enjoyment.
”Drink the wine and take in the smell. It's really, really good!”
Naturally, Yan Cheng inhaled the fragrance of Taotie's Heart as well. His eyes immediately turned bloodshot.
He must not dilly-dally any further!
He must end the fight decisively this instant, or the Taotie's Heart would be boiled beyond repair!
His mind flickered for a moment, and the black arrows in the air buzzed.
Swish!
The arrows broke through the air, shooting through the air toward Nether King Er Ha rapidly.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Everybody gasped. The young man did not even dodge the black arrows. His body was pierced time and time again by them.
In just a blink of an eye, that young man's body swayed and twisted as he became like a hedgehog with dense spikes.
The world seemed to fall silent at that moment.
”Truly, you were just rubbish...” Yan Cheng had a smirk on his face, his eyes filled with disdain.
He thought that that man would be very powerful. But in reality, he could not even block this one attack of his.
”That was boring,” said Yan Cheng.
His cultivation base had reached the Half Step Divine Spirit Realm. Although this cultivation base was not the pinnacle in the Hidden Dragon Royal Court, he did not have many rivals at this level.
He could be deemed the top under the Sect Master.
