Chapter 459 - Heaven-exterminating? You Might As Well Ascend Heaven (2/2)
He could finally understand, even if just a little, Gui Xian’s words back then. No matter how strong one was, one was ultimately still fighting by himself. One could never be as impactful as the power of many. The only reason why so many cultivators are standing with the Mo family was because of their impact. Even if they weren’t trying to get on the family’s good side, they would also never offend them. That was why they were all so deferential toward Mo Jinyan.
Mo Jinyan chuckled. “Keeping silent? Is it because you don’t dare to accept the challenge or you simply don’t want to?” He tapped his head with his finger and grinned. “Ah, I forgot. That Northern Mad Emperor and East Peak Emperor or whatever aren’t with you now. Is that why you’re scared?”
The man in cyan clothes beside him sneered. “Northern Mad Emperor? Our Mo family must have been living in seclusion for far too long. We didn’t even know that some little devil from nowhere can be called an emperor.”
Ziyun’er flew into a rage. “Why didn’t you dare to say such words when the two Seniors are around? Northern Mad Emperor can squash you two with his pinky finger!”
Mo Jinyan smiled. “Give me a hundred years. My strength will definitely be above theirs then.”
The man in cyan shook his head and smiled deviously. “Forget it. He’s just terrified. Let’s go. Remember my twenty-year-old dog at home? I’ll go home and change its name to Xiao Chen. It’s quite a good name.”
“You!” Ziyun’er’s anger was reaching its peak. Qingluan reached out to stop her and sneered. “One of the heaven-exterminating family, the Mo family. After meeting you today, I see that you deserve your reputation. We step down gracefully. You may have the title of Five Emperors!”
Mo Jinyan was about to turn around and leave, but spun around again when he heard her words. He said placidly, “What do you mean?”
Qingluan smiled. “Your verbal attacks are indeed superior. I fear that no one on earth is your rival. Why don’t you call yourselves the Verbal Executors of Heaven of East West South North?”
Mo Jinyan’s expression immediately turned dark. He could tolerate any insults about his family, except when it involved the use of the words “heaven-exterminating”. That was the dignity that their entire clan had pledged to defend.
No longer angry, Ziyun’er put on a cheeky smile. “Heaven-exterminating? Why don’t you die and ascend heaven instead?” She deliberately leaped and pointed to the skies above. “There! Heaven is up there! You’re all very powerful, aren’t you? Go up there and make a hole! Go on! You call yourselves the heaven-exterminating family, don’t you? Go and make a dent in heaven for all of us to see!”
“Koo-chee!” The Koo-chee beast cried and ran over. Mimicking the naughty look on Ziyun’er’s face, it pointed its paw at the sky and kept making its trademark noises. It even grinned like a human, looking like a mischievous child.
The outlandish behavior of the human and the beast instantly elicited laughter from the people around them. Of course, these people weren’t afraid of the Mo family. In fact, they loathed the family’s holier-than-thou attitude.
Mo Jinyan’s face was so dark that it looked like a rainstorm. The man in cyan beside him was beside himself with rage. “You seek death!” he yelled, and then charged at Ziyun’er like a bolt of lightning.
Specks of snow swirled around them. When the man in cyan reached Ziyun’er, all he could see were several silhouettes moving before his eyes. The clanging of metal resounded beside his ears as he was stopped in place. Four ladies from the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under The Moon had their blades pressed against the man’s neck.
Right now, the man in cyan was blocked in all directions. His head would fall with just the slightest pressure from any of them. Ziyun’er scoffed and walked over to him. “Pa!” A crisp sound resonated as she landed a slap on his face.
“Remember. Northern Mad Emperor can squash your Mo family with his pinky finger!”
A red palm print instantly surfaced on the man’s face. The crisp sound of the slap also traveled to all corners of the summit in no time at all, prompting everyone to gasp. To slap the man in front of so many people was akin to slapping the Mo family in the face.
“Pa!” Before everyone could snap out of it, Ziyun’er once again slapped the man. “Oh, and don’t just change your dog’s name on a whim. If you want to give it a new name, you can consider your own name.”
This time, the mood was truly frozen over. Quite a few were frightened as well. Mo Jinyan’s face couldn’t get any darker. His murderous aura was materializing. He swore to kill this woman, and with the cruelest methods to boot!
Xiao Chen frowned. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the tens or so cultivators behind Mo Jinyan. They were itching for a fight, he could tell. He was also ready to summon Guifeng for a battle at any time, but nonetheless, they were at a disadvantage when it came to numbers.
Right then, they heard a singing voice inching closer to them. “One leaf of flower, one leaf of dust, the flowers fall for one night without leaving dust…”
For every word that reached everyone’s ears, the voice became closer still. By the time the last word dropped, a silhouette was already before everyone’s eyes. The person had a face as elegant as white jade. He was dressed in a robe of white feathers and was holding a delicately-carved feathered fan. He landed gently from the sky, with the backdrop of swirling snow giving him the impression of a fairy descending upon the earth.
“Haha! Brother None-flower, looks like your Thousand Miles Voyage is faster than my Purple-Gold Gourd. Consider it my loss this time!”
A clear, bright voice resounded before everyone could recover from their senses. A gigantic gourd of purple and gold swiftly flew in their direction, carrying a passenger dressed in a white-and-purple long gown. His hair was mixed with several strands of purple and his pupils were the color of flames.
