Chapter 341: What ferocity and wickedness!
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Tian Ti mountain was the number one mountain in central continent. It was also called the land of inheritances and the mountain of sages.
Its height was over three thousand kilometers, it was imposing and had a grand presence. Its peak seemed to pierce through the skies and was hidden beyond the snowy fog and clouds.
What was extremely unusual was there were not many craggy rocks on the mountain.
Giant square shaped rocks reclined upon each other, stretching from the base of the mountain towards the top, forming stairs.
However, the scale of this stairs was so huge that there was an old legend about it in central continent saying the stairway reached the realm of the immortals and was a bridge connecting heaven and earth.
There were many touching, mysterious, tragic, and joyful stories revolving around Tian Ti mountain.
Tian Ti mountain became the holy land of central continent’s Gu Masters, a place closest to the immortal court. Many Gu Masters seeked for immortality but failed, and before death, they would place their tombs here. At the same time, a large majority of them would also set up their inheritances here.
Tian Ti mountain hid countless inheritances, and only those fated could obtain them.
Every year, after clouds and mist that covered it dispersed, Tian Ti mountain would experience an enormous flow of people. Many inheritances would be inherited, and many new inheritances would be set up.
However, this year was different.
This year, the inheritance that opened at Tian Ti mountain was Hu Immortal blessed land which led to the appearance of Gu Immortals. After discussing, they made an alliance and locked this mountain, setting up a contest for their sect’s juniors.
Right now, at the foot of Tian Ti mountain, an intense battle between the youngsters was already reaching its end.
Ten thousand cranes flew together and floated around Fang Zheng. Wei Wu Shang was panting and his clothes were in rags; he stared straight at Fang Zheng from within the layers of encirclement by the cranes.
“No, I haven’t lost yet! I still have my trump card!” Wei Wu Shang was not resigned to admit defeat after being at the losing end.
If it was an ordinary situation, he would have conceded defeat already. But god knew how many elite disciples were fixing their gazes at this match.
Wei Wu Shang was not representing only himself but also the Heaven’s Envy Sect behind him. At the same time, others did not matter but Fairy Bi Xia whom he admired was also watching the match.
“I cannot lose!” With this thought, Wei Wu Shang valiantly activated a Gu in his aperture.
He had always been hiding this Gu, not using it even at the important sect examination.
Once this Gu was activated, it created a colorless breeze.
The light breeze revolved around Wei Wu Shang’s body, moving his clothes and caressing his hair.
However, Fang Zheng looked like he was facing a great enemy.
It was because Lord Sky Crane had already reminded him loudly: “Not good! This kid actually has injury wind Gu. Defend, defend with all your might, this Gu can whip up injury wind; it looks light and harmless, but it is extremely terrifying. Heaven’s Envy Sect’s junior was not weak indeed. This seems to be his trump card!”
Injury wind blew; Fang Zheng completely gave up on attacking and used all his strength to defend.
Injury wind looked gentle, but wherever it blew, the cranes cried out in pain; countless ironbeak flying cranes crashed down to the ground like their wings were broken.
Injury wind blew on Fang Zheng’s body; the defensive light around his body continuously flickered.
Beads of sweat dripped from Fang Zheng’s forehead, he gritted his teeth and transferred the primeval essence from his aperture to his defensive Gu endlessly.
The stalemate lasted a while, finally Wei Wu Shang sighed inwardly and stopped activating injury wind Gu.
It was not that he did not want to continue the fight, but his aperture was already close to drying up.
Gu Masters all had a common point, that was when primeval essence was consumed, the Gu Master’s fighting strength would sharply decrease.
Rank one to rank five Gu Masters all suffered from the restraints of primeval essence. Only when they went beyond mortal and reached the realm of immortals, becoming a Gu Immortal, would they be able to have endless primeval essence.
“I lost.” Wei Wu Shang’s gaze was dark.
He had calculated it clearly: His primeval essence was exhausted and so he did not have any more strength to battle. However, Fang Zheng had been commanding flying cranes to battle from the start; his primeval essence consumption was relatively less and was sure to have some more primeval essence left.
“Brother Wei is worthy to be Heaven’s Envy Sect’s elite disciple, possessing such unusual and incisive methods; I have increased my knowledge and my horizons have been broadened. My primeval essence has also almost been exhausted by brother. How about we consider this spar as a draw?” Fang Zheng smiled.
“What?” Wei Wu Shang was stunned.
What was Fang Zheng saying? He was very clear of his own situation. How could he have a Gu that could exhaust Fang Zheng’s primeval essence?
However, Wei Wu Shang immediately realized Fang Zheng was telling a lie.
“Fang zhen is giving me a way out of this situation.” After understanding Fang Zheng’s plan, there was a complex expression on Wei Wu Shang’s face.
The disciples of every great sect could not casually make their moves.
Because they represented not only themselves, but also the sect behind them.
Moreover, with Fairy Bi Xia at the scene, Wei Wu Shang could truly not afford to lose this battle.
Since Fang Zheng gave him a way out, Wei Wu Shang quickly cupped his fists towards Fang Zheng after hesitating for a moment: “Brother Fang is a young hero, I am filled with admiration. Immortal Crane Sect indeed has deep foundations for being able to teach a figure like brother. I have benefitted from this spar and like brother Fang said, we will consider this match a draw.”
Wei Wu Shang said so on the surface, but in truth, he secretly transmitted to Fang Zheng: “Fang Zheng, I, Wei Wu Shang, shall remember your leniency and will definitely repay it in the future. However, Fairy Bi Xia is my love, I will not concede on this. I will train harder and spar with you again in the future!”
Fang Zheng smiled, he nodded on the surface, but was inwardly feeling a headache.
Wei Wu Shang continued with the secret communication: “Fang Zheng, you need to be careful. Fairy Bi Xia has many admirers, not just me. Even with your formidable strength, you will still have four competitors. They are Heaven River Chen Da Jiang, Rising Purple Lightning Gu Ting, Nine Death Sorrowful Wind Tang Ru Qi and Tigress Zhao Shu Ye. You are so close with Fairy Bi Xia, they will definitely come find trouble for you. You better not lose.”
Fang Zheng’s gaze could not help but flicker at the mention of these four famous names, feeling that his headache had become worse.
As for Lord Sky Crane, he was laughing heartily in his mind.
Sure enough, like Wei Wu Shang said, three days later, disciples of Ancient Soul Sect arrived at Tian Ti mountain. Leading them was Gu Ting, and after knowing of the matter between Fairy Bi Xia and Fang Zheng, he immediately sent a challenge.
To avoid this unexpected calamity, Fang Zheng chose to avoid the fight.
Gu Ting naturally was not willing to leave the matter at that; he would visit Fang Zheng’s residing cave every day and provoke him to a fight.
He continued this for seven days in a row.
His words became more vulgar as time passed. Immortal Crane Sect’s other disciples were unsatisfied and went to find him but were defeated.
Ancient Soul Sect’s momentum rose greatly, and at the eight day, everyone went to block Fang Zheng’s cave entrance and cursed endlessly.
“Fang Zheng, you ostrich, still not coming out?”
“Fang Zheng you are hiding now, but can you hide for your entire life? Obediently stop getting in contact with Fairy Bi Xia and big brother Gu Ting will magnanimously spare you.”
“Immortal Crane Sect is merely so, they actually taught such cowardly disciple.”
…
At the mention of Immortal Crane Sect, Fang Zheng who was in the cave let out a sigh and helplessly walked out of the cave.
He could endure the curses directed towards him. However, once it involved his master, his temperament changed. Disciple needed to uphold the prestige of their masters, this was an important value of central continent. If he did not uphold it, then when he returned to Fei He mountain later, he would be impeached and even receive punishment.
Lord Sky Crane made a loud din inside him: “Gahaha… Fang Zheng, my disciple, do you understand now? What I have been telling you from the start is not wrong, right? Blindly enduring will let others misunderstand and bully you. In this world, the more harmless and cowardly you appear, the more people will appear that will want to bully you. Fight, defeat this Gu Ting! Shut the mouth of these people from Ancient Soul Sect! Improve your reputation!”
“Sigh… one has to compromise in this world , I really feel it now. I can only fight!” Fang Zheng gained an understanding with this event.
Gu Ting, come, let’s fight!
…
At the similar time as the fight between Fang Zheng and Gu Ting, far away at southern border’s San Cha mountain, a battle ended.
The battlefield was a mess; blood all over the ground, smashed rocks, destroyed trees and craters all around.
Fang Yuan stood proud on the battlefield while his opponent Fei Li was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and begging for forgiveness.
“Lord Fang Zheng, please be magnanimous and spare me!” Fei Li continuously kowtowed while begging bitterly.
He had a cultivation of rank four middle stage and was also a strength path Gu Master. He had been full of spirits, but now his body was soaked with blood, his right arm broken and his two legs fractured, cutting out an extremely sorry figure.
“Since you are begging for forgiveness, then first hand over your expend strength Gu and I shall consider whether to accept it or not.” Fang Yuan looked down upon Fei Li, cold light bursting out of his eyes.
Fei Li hesitated before handing over expend strength Gu.
This Gu was his vital Gu and also his core Gu, it made his enemies waste more strength when making any movements, doubling the expenditure of their stamina.
Handing over the expend strength Gu, Fei Li lost his vital Gu and suffered a heavy backlash, spurting out huge mouthfuls of blood.
Fang Yuan’s gaze flashed as he accepted expend strength Gu: “I have considered, expend strength Gu is not enough to exchange for your life.”
Fei Li’s eyes opened wide and not considering the critical state of his body, he shouted: “Lord Fang Zheng, this is my most precious Gu!”
Bam!
With a shift of Fang Yuan’s mind, beast phantoms directly pounced forward and turned Fei Li into minced meat.
“Pauper.” Fang Yuan looked at the disfigured corpse below him and sneered.
Then his gaze swept through the battlefield.
The spectators were not few, but all of them subconsciously chose to avoid Fang Yuan’s gaze.
Fang Yuan laughed loudly: “What’s wrong? Sky Tiger Xue San Si isn’t here? You guys tell her, we are both strength path Gu Masters, three days later, I will come visit her and exchange pointers!”
The moment these words came out, it caused an uproar.
Little beast king was too violent; a few days ago, he had killed Tyrant Heng Mei, and at this battle, Fei Li begged him for forgiveness, but he did not let him go and smashed him into minced meat.
Now, he was going to challenge Sky Tiger Xue San Si!
What ferocity and wickedness was this!
Chapter 340: Beaten to a pulp
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
San Cha mountain was originally a place no one showed interest towards; and was a place Che clan and Zuo clan had interactions.
However, since the inheritance opened, it had become extremely lively and there would be people moving through the forests frequently.
Clashes and disputes occurred frequently, right now it was still relatively peaceful.
Every time the light pillar opened, the entry quota was limited. At that time, it would be a scene of carnage at San Cha mountain.
To fight for a chance to enter the inheritance, all the Gu Masters chose to stay on the mountain.
This led to a phenomenon. The stronger the Gu Masters, the closer towards the mountain peak they stayed. This caused them to be in a favorable position when the inheritance appeared, since they could much easily rush towards it.
The cave Fang Yuan chose was on the middle of the mountain. From the traces around the cave, there was clearly someone living in it.
Sure enough, when they got near the cave, a loud and clear voice was transmitted from within the cave: “This is my, Mang Kuang’s, territory. Get lost, or else you will die a violent death!”
“Hahaha, Mang Kuang? What crap is that! This place is pretty good, I have taken a liking to it, get lost.” Fang Yuan laughed outside the cave and issued an ultimatum.
“Screw your gr*ndmother, you want it the hard way! Since you are looking to die, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Following the voice, a burly man walked out of the cave.
His upper body was bare; he was wearing a worn-out hemp knitted shorts; cyan snake scales covered his whole body; his face was covered with long beard; blood veins showed on his eyes; and his black hair fell down his head in disarray. He walked out of the cave looking like a furious fiend.
“Two blind fools… eh?!”
Mang Kuang looked at Fang and Bai, he was cursing with his rough voice when suddenly his pupils shrunk and his jaw opened wide. His gaze revealed a bewildered expression.
“You two, could you be the black and white twin demons?”
“What do you think?” Bai Ning Bing laughed faintly, her blue eyes flashing with killing intent.
Mang Kuang only felt chills rising from his back and spreading over his body in seconds.
Black and white twin demons were rank four Gu Masters, while he was only at rank three upper stage. Moreover, he had heard about how these two killed without blinking their eyes, and how cruel their methods were.
“Damn it! I have been hiding here without doing anything, what did I do to deserve this? This really is misfortune dropping from the sky…” Mang Kuang’s thoughts were in disorder.
In an instant, the vicious face suddenly changed; the raised eyebrows drooped, the wide opened eyes narrowed down to a slit, the bent corner of his lips immediately rose up into a smile; he did everything he could to show his goodwill.
“It is my greatest fortune in this life for both lords to take a liking to my cave!”
Mang Kuang bent his back and rubbed his hands, giving a flattering smile towards Fang and Bai.
His body was tall and robust but when he shrunk down and bent his back, his original rampant domineering aura immediately disappeared into oblivion; this matched with his boorish appearance was simply like a clown fiesta.
“Hmm, you are sensible, you can get lost now.” Fang Yuan waved his hand.
“Yes, yes, yes.” Mang Kuang seemed to have received an amnesty as he slipped out and immediately ran far away.
After forcing out Mang Kuang, Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing entered the cave together.
The cave was already arranged properly by Mang Kuang and they did not need to waste their energy to make any arrangements.
“San Cha mountain is filled with danger, we will take turns to stay guard at night for the next eight days. If one sleeps, the other must be awake.” Fang Yuan warned Bai Ning Bing.
“Naturally.” Bai Ning Bing nodded.
“Hui Mei Er won’t leave it at that, we will be facing constant troubles in these eight days. However, it is also good that these people are sending themselves to us, we can establish our might and that matches with our intention.”
Fang Yuan had just finished saying this when a voice came from outside the cave.
“Are black and white twin demons inside? I am Tyrant Heng Mei, I have long looked forward to meeting you two. This time, I especially came in to pay a visit.”
“Tyrant Heng Mei? Isn’t he the boss of Ten Tyrants? I heard he is very cruel, cultivates strength path, likes to eat little children’s flesh and has spread fear over Nanshan.” Bai Ning Bing glanced at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan sneered inside.
He had planned to go find trouble with this Tyrant Heng Mei, but to think the latter actually dropped in himself.
The two walked out of the cave and looked at the eight people standing outside the cave.
At the front was a robust body, bare and flat chest, black chest hair growing all over his chest. A dense aura of rank four middle stage was let out from all over his body.
However, this demonic path’s figure famous for his savageness was wearing a smile right now. When he saw Fang and Bai, he immediately cupped his hands and one could only take him as an elegant black bear at first glance.
“To think the black and white twin demons had such large background.” Tyrant Heng Mei had intentionally spoken in a loud voice and attracted the attention of many nearby Gu Masters.
“Even Tyrant Heng Mei came to pay a visit to them personally.” Many were surprised.
“Fortunately, I ran out….when did Tyrant Heng Mei become so polite?” Mang Kuang still had not run far away, right now he touched his chest and felt the lingering fear.
“Tyrant Heng Mei, it is good you came, I was just about to visit you.” Fang Yuan responded.
Tyrant Heng Mei’s smile became even deeper, thinking Fang Yuan was going to pay a visit to him.
But who knew Fang Yuan’s next words immediately caused his smile to stiffen.
“I heard you are also a strength path Gu Master, let’s enjoy a battle of life and death and determine who is stronger. I, Fang Zheng, am walking the strength path and am going to become the number one in the strength path! Hand over your life!”
Finished speaking, Fang Yuan activated his Gu and directly launched an assault at Tyrant Heng Mei.
“What?!” Tyrant Heng Mei came back to his senses, he was startled and also furious.
He had broken the tradition and came to pay a visit, but to think this ‘Fang Zheng’ was an ungrateful guy and attacked him without saying anything further.
This, what kind of person is this?
Is this still a person? The nerves in his brain are jumbled up, right?!
Fang Yuan did not care about his thoughts as he charged quickly towards Tyrant Heng Mei.
All-out effort Gu !
Without saying any words, he directly attacked.
Grrr!
A brown bear phantom appeared from behind him.
Violent strength Gu !
Tyrant Heng Mei opened his eyes with anger, he did not dodge put put his arms up to block head-on.
With the activation of violent strength Gu, his body enlarged and increased his strength sharply.
Bam!
Fang Yuan fiercely smashed into Tyrant Heng Mei, sending the latter back by five steps while he, himself, bounced back from the terrifying strength.
Tyrant Heng Mei was at rank four middle stage and commanded the other nine members of Ten Tyrants. He had lorded over Nan mountain for many years and had deep foundations.
“Hmph! Little beast king, I gave you face but you don’t know what’s good for you.” Tyrant Heng Mei shouted, but he did not take the initiative to attack.
He was at rank four middle stage and knew he was stronger after crossing one move with Fang Yuan since the latter was only at rank four initial stage.
However, there was not only one rank four on the scene, there was also Bai Ning Bing who was standing there.
Tyrant Heng Mei was sure of winning against Fang Zheng, but it would be very difficult for him to fight against two.
“Tyrant Heng Mei, why are you being so careful? Bai Ning Bing, you deal with the others, Tyrant Heng Mei is mine!” Fang Yuan laughed loudly and shrugged his shoulders before charging towards Tyrant Heng Mei again.
“I will give you five minutes, if you can’t finish it by then, I will take over.” Bai Ning Bing slightly raised her brows, her blue eyes flashing with sharp light.
“Boastful juniors!” Hearing Fang and Bai’s casual conversation, Tyrant Heng Mei felt his anger was about to burst out.
He had a violent temperament, he already outdid himself by maintaining his patience till now. Knowing that the situation was hard to improve, he threw away his other thoughts and let the murderous aura in his mind surge forth.
Fight!
Two sides collided.
Fang Yuan against Tyrant Heng Mei while Bai Ning Bing suppressed the remaining members of the Ten Tyrants.
It was a chaotic battlefield!
Boulders were smashed, mountain creeks ran dry, caves collapsed, and there were sounds of thunder-like explosions.
Tyrant Heng Mei became more fearful. Fang Yuan possessed bitter strength Gu , his strength and fighting strength grew the more injuries he suffered.
When he crossed moves against Fang Yuan just before, he had thought the so-called little beast king was no more than that.
Reaching the halfway stage, his expression turned grave.
And when Fang Yuan burst out with six beast phantoms at the same time, Tyrant Heng Mei’s face lost color.
“This little beast king, how could he be so strong?! Not only is his Gu worm combination superior to mine, he also has plentiful battle experience. How did he live to have such skillful and ruthless moves, there is not even a shadow of a young person in him. He is simply a hundred year old monster!”
“No wonder he acts so overbearingly, with such strength, even I would have no worries in acting like this. I have failed bad this time! I must retreat!”
Fang Yuan met frontal attacks with swift and fierce strikes, like a fierce tiger leaving the mountain or a flood dragon overturning the seas. Tyrant Heng Mei was gasping and his energy and blood were in disorder from Fang Yuan’s attacks.
The main point was, every time Fang Yuan suffered injuries, he would become stronger.
Now, Tyrant Heng Mei was already not able to continue fighting against Fang Yuan. If Fang Yuan became even stronger, that would be too horrible!
Every time Tyrant Heng Mei thought of this, his fighting spirit decreased by a little.
As the fight continued, he did not dare to attack at all. There were clear opportunities to attack Fang Yuan, but he started hesitating.
“What should I do, attack or not?”
With such thoughts, how could he fight well?
Tyrant Heng Mei was slowly falling into a passive situation; Fang Yuan however, had let go of all his apprehension, his attacks were like the tides, coming waves after waves, continuous and endless.
Beast phantoms flashed one after another in the air, there would be violent sounds every time Fang Yuan attacked.
The explosive sounds came again and again, all the people who heard it felt their hearts throb in fear.
“What kind of fierce offense is this?!”
“Even a formidable senior like Tyrant Heng Mei is not Fang Zheng’s match…”
“Fang Zheng is clearly at rank four initial stage but he is suppressing the middle stage Tyrant Heng Mei.”
“Little beast king…” Many people were secretly observing the battle and thought over this nickname of Fang Yuan.
“Who is the tyrant here?” Mang Kuang felt quite helpless. He could tell Fang Yuan was more brutish and more unreasonable than Tyrant Heng Mei. The fiendish Tyrant Heng Mei paled in comparison to Fang Zheng.
“Fang Zheng, don’t go too far!” Tyrant Heng Mei spurted out blood; his chest, arms and legs were all completely fractured. He wanted to retreat, but Fang Yuan had already seen through his plan. Bai Ning Bing killed the other members of the Ten Tyrants and firmly locked him down.
Howl howl howl!
Howl howl howl!
Fang Yuan pointed his finger, six large beast phantoms turned into solid forms and fell down from the sky, submerging Tyrant Heng Mei.
Bam!
A loud sound echoed and dust scattered everywhere.
Tyrant Heng Mei was beaten to a pulp, his internal organs and bone fragments splattered over the ground.
Gasp…
Countless sharp inhaling noises could be heard from the surroundings.
