1404 Elder Duan Is Awesome! (1/2)

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 worship from everyone.

If fortune smiled on him, who knew? Perhaps he could even take over Buttface'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 attitude, 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.

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 space 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?”
