782 Power of Fire, Attack! (1/2)
Chen Chong's words naturally had some reason!
However… if everyone in the world acted according to such logic and based their actions upon it, the world would be too tragic to live in. In fact, there would be no more meaning in living…
People should always insist on what they wanted!
If people only had profit in their hearts, to a point of disregarding the line between good and evil, even if the person was a Saint or a Saint King, there would be no more redeeming qualities in him as a person!
The words 'our conscience is clear' had not only completely crushed Leng Tong, even Jun Mo Xie felt his balls ache just by hearing it! If such an ungrateful, shameless, and despicable fellow who burned all bridges after crossing them, someone who only cared about profits, could claim that his conscience was clear…
Then, this daddy would rather be a base man! A hoodlum for the rest for this life!
Taking another 10,000 steps back, even if Chen Chong's reasoning was really acceptable, then should I, my family, and all the Xuan Beasts in Tian Fa allow themselves to be slaughtered freely by you? Where was the logic in that? As long as one was alive, they would strive for a better life before talking about other things. If one did not even have the most basic self preservation as a guarantee and still wanted to forcefully stick out their necks, that was not a hero. That was a fool!
Just the thought of how a divine beauty like Mei Xue Yan was forced to her current state caused Jun Mo Xie to seethe with rage! What dogfart clear conscience? What dogfart changing history! Someone who was able to say such words and yet act so despicably could actually still boast about having a clear conscience. This alone caused Jun Mo Xie's killing intent to surge to the nine heavens!
Right now, Jun Mo Xie's process of absorbing all the water from the surroundings was nearly complete.
He was not only planning to raze this place… his other objective was to gather some water and let Mei Xue Yan have a nice place to bathe inside the Hongjun Pagoda…
Not just a place to take a bath, but also one that would allow her to swim freely. It would be considered a place for her to destress when she's bored. Otherwise, if she only cooped herself inside all the time, the loneliness would be truly hard to bear.
Although Jun Mo Xie could pop in any time he wanted, he couldn't accompany her inside indefinitely… there were still many things waiting for him to do in the outside world…
Therefore, Jun Mo Xie had already decided long ago. Not just this lake; he would move any interesting things he came across inside in the future as well… even if Mei Xue Yan needed to stay a few more years inside, he would make sure that she would be completely comfortable!
This was also the only thing he could do at this point.
At this time, there were still four cognizant people in the cave. Nobody spoke a word, and they remained sitting, drinking gloomily.
The alcohol gradually surged to their heads. Leng Tong snored loudly at the side. Even as he slept deeply, his face contorted in a thoroughly disappointed expression…
After a long time, Chen Chong suddenly laughed aloud. ”Satisfying! This is the best drink I've had in several hundred years! Ever since I stepped into the Supreme realm, this is the first time I've gotten drunk in 340 years! Today, I have finally experienced how it feels to be an ordinary person! After getting drunk today, even if I die tomorrow in the battle, I will have no further regrets!”
Chi Tian Feng also joined him and laughed joyfully. ”Living and dying… life is but a dream; it's nothing more than that! Isn't it just a battle?!”
The four became more invigorated and smiled.
All of a sudden, all four of them detected a trace of anomaly at the same time, like an extremely ill omen rising from their hearts. They all sat up and shuddered as they exchanged a look. Without any hesitation, they all rose up and rushed out of the cave! In the short time they moved to the exit, they had already circulated their Xuan Qi around their bodies, completely purging the alcohol!
The entire mountain was completely silent, and the only things in front of their eyes were only the empty coldness and the heaviness of the darkness! Even the stars and the moon were dim and colorless!
”Looks like everyone noticed it too. Just what is going on?” Sa Qing Liu looked at the surroundings warily.
”It seems like there's a pressurizing and suppressive feeling!” Chen Chong looked around seriously, and his spirit sense surged out swiftly. ”This kind of odd pressure only appears before a deadly enemy appears. From the looks of it, our opponent should have arrived!”
”It seems a little too quiet! There isn't even the least bit of sound from the bugs and birds!” Chi Tian Feng looked around and gasped in shock. ”And why is it so dark? Where did the snow and ice on the mountain disappear to? And the dryness of the ground…”
The moment he said that, the other three also realized the anomaly and observed their surroundings more intently. As expected, the snow which had not even begun to melt had completely disappeared now. There wasn't even the slightest sign of any wetness on the ground at all!
The only areas that had any bit of water was their bodies. After all, after forcing the alcohol out of their body, it was inevitable that their skin would become wet.
Just what was this scene before their eyes?
Chen Chong expression was heavy, and his eyes swivelled around keenly like an eagle's. All of a sudden, he exclaimed in shock. ”The humidity is one thing… but why is the ground also so dry? Even those aged trees over there are also so dried out! It's early spring, and it's the season where all life is supposed to flourish. Just what happened for such a great anomaly to appear?!”
