Chapter 519: Hunting Mo Wen
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Wen laughed. Yesterday, he had already discussed with Old Grandfather Chen how they were going to ambush the Sacred Flame Sect.
In the Intentionless Sect, only he knew that Old Grandfather Chen had been healed. No one else knew about it; even Chen Zikuang was kept in the dark. In order to achieve the goal of killing in one strike, yesterday Old Grandfather Chen did not even see Chen Zikuang. He only mentioned that his injuries were in the process of recovering. It unintentionally added more pressure on Chen Zikuang.
“Little friend Mo Wen, how will you draw the Sacred Flame Sect’s deputy sect leader over?” Chen Wuhui said as his eyes flashed with a curious look. Right now, the Sacred Flame Sect sect leader Zhu Lanhuo was dealing with Chen Zikuang, so he naturally could not withdraw. Hence, Mo Wen could only draw the Sacred Flame Sect’s deputy sect leader Li Zhuoying over.
However, Mo Wen was just a mere youth. Even if he actively provoked Li Zhuoying, Li Zhuoying would most probably not be very interested in him. He would most likely send an elder to hunt him down.
“I have my ways. Old grandfather should just watch and see.” Mo Wen smiled confidently. With a flash of his silhouette, he flew into the heart of the battlefield. In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, only Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners could fly. Mo Wen’s display naturally drew the attention of many.
A mere youth could actually walk in the air, it was unbelievable! After all, none of them had heard that there was such a young Golden Elixir realm strong practitioner in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension.
A few Sacred Flame Sect elders immediately stared at Mo Wen. Then, one person’s silhouette flashed and came dashing right at him with an aggressive form. Obviously, he wanted to know whether this youth truly had Golden Elixir realm cultivation. This was a question they all had.
However, Mo Wen did not bother with the elder. His silhouette flickered and became a faint image, and then he dashed past in front of the Sacred Flame Sect elder. His movements were nimble and natural, causing the Sacred Flame Sect elder to be stunned. He never thought that when he had personally gone up to surround him, he would actually fail to stop the youth.
The Sacred Flame Sect elder was enraged. It was outrageous. The youth had practically ignored him. If he could not beat down this youth, he would not be able to show his face in public anymore.
His silhouette turned and changed direction, once again chasing frenziedly after Mo Wen. However, no matter how he chased, he still remained a distance away from Mo Wen. Also, the distance was still growing. He could not catch him up at all.
Mo Wen did not bother with the fly chasing behind him. In a short amount of time, he had reached the plaza in front of the Mindfulness Hall.
Right now, Zhu Lanhuo was ferociously attacking Chen Zikuang. With his astonishing cultivation, he had almost begun to put Chen Zikuang at a disadvantage. Beside him was Li Zhuoying. From time to time, he would sneak in an attack, causing Chen Zikuang to be caught out and be thrown into a panic.
Luckily, Li Zhuoying did not join in the big battle, instead floating in mid-air and overseeing the overall situation. Otherwise, if both Zhu Lanhuo and Li Zhuoying joined forces, Chen Zikuang would most likely not be able to withstand more than a few minutes before being defeated.
Just as Li Zhuoying was preparing to sneak in another attack on Chen Zikuang, a white image suddenly appeared not far in front of him. Next, a formless sword Qi came slashing out directly at Li Zhuoying.
Li Zhuoying coldly snorted. His cold gaze looked towards the white image as he expressionlessly sent out a punch. In an instant, the surrounding air seemed to have frozen solid. The Spiritual Profound Sword Qi stopped for a moment, and then shattered into pieces, instantly dissipating into nothing.
Mo Wen’s eyes flashed past a look of astonishment. As expected, an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner was very powerful. The Spiritual Profound Sword Qi actually posed no threat to him at all.
“So it was you! Brat, are you tired of living?” Li Zhuoying glanced somewhat surprised at Mo Wen. His face was expressionless, without any emotion. It was because a youth who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth was not qualified to anger him.
“If I am, what can you do about it? If you have the guts, come kill me,” Mo Wen coldly laughed.
“Laughable.” Li Zhuoying gave Mo Wen a look of disdain. With a jab of his finger, a frightening Inner Qi came crashing out. The air surrounding Mo Wen was instantly sucked out, as though a formless pressure was constantly pressing on to Mo Wen’s body. His body dipped. A huge force pressed down on him from above, causing him to struggle a bit to stay floating in the air.
A golden light shined from Mo Wen’s body. In an instant, he was like a golden man. A terrifying power emanated from his body, like a glowing sun. With a flash of golden light, Mo Wen dashed out of the force field created by Li Zhuoying. He once again floated in the air.
“With such methods, you still can’t give me any trouble,” Mo Wen said plainly. Although Li Zhuoying was an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner, if he did not go all out, he still could do nothing to Mo Wen.
“Not bad. You have some ability.” Li Zhuoying nodded his head, still not angered. He indifferently said, “You are unqualified for me to personally make a move. However, don’t you worry. Someone will kill you for sure.”
He had no interest in chasing this youth unrelentingly. His current duty was to oversee the overall situation to prevent unexpected situations that could cause the Sacred Flame Sect to be unable to react. After all, this was the Intentionless Sect’s territory. Li Zhuoying would still be cautious.
As Old Grandfather Chen had expected, Mo Wen wanting to draw Li Zhuoying over was not an easy task.
“Brat, you are overconfident. Let me be the one to kill you.” The Sacred Flame Sect elder who was chasing behind Mo Wen from before roared in anger. He had finally caught up. Without another word, he immediately dashed towards Mo Wen furiously like a tiger pouncing on its food, as though he was afraid Mo Wen would escape from right under his nose.
“Old thing, I think you are the one who is overconfident.” Mo Wen coldly laughed. In the hand hidden in his sleeve, a spiritual stone suddenly appeared. He had retrieved it from inside the medicine spiritual ring. In an instant, around Mo Wen’s figure, a spiritual light shined. Then, with a flick of his finger, a dark light shot out towards the Sacred Flame Sect elder.
The Sacred Flame Sect elder was preparing to eliminate this arrogant b*stard Mo Wen. Suddenly, he felt a feeling stir inside, causing him to feel a chill down his spine as though a huge threat was approaching. Frightened, the Sacred Flame Sect elder dodged subconsciously. But it was too late. He only managed to move a little and a dark light flashed past him. Then, a leg dropped from the sky with blood splattering everywhere.
“Ah! Brute!” The Sacred Flame Sect elder screamed, staring at Mo Wen in shock. What exactly was that dark light? A thousand feet away, the dark light which was shot out made a turn nimbly and flew toward the elder again.
“The sect’s spiritual weapon!” The Sacred Flame Sect elder had finally made sense of what the thing was. He was frightened to his core and he screamed out loud.
Panicked, the Sacred Flame Sect elder dodged anxiously. However, due to his carelessness just now, he had lost a leg, so his moving ability now had been reduced drastically. The dark light was shockingly fast. With a flash, it had passed by the elder again. Then, an arm was separated from his body, dropping to the ground.
“Deputy sect leader, save me!” The Sacred Flame Sect elder was finally scared, bawling for help. He would have never thought that the sect’s spiritual weapon was actually in Mo Wen’s hands. Furthermore, the power that the spiritual weapon demonstrated when it was in Mo Wen’s hands was so formidable.
The lethal nature of the weapon was no less terrifying even when he was the one using the sect’s spiritual weapon. How did this youth do that?
The corner of Mo Wen’s mouth curled to form a cruel smile. Activating the spiritual weapon required spiritual energy. Among the ancient martial arts practitioners, people with higher cultivation would naturally have a better grasp at using the spiritual weapon. However, that standard was not suitable to be applied to Mo Wen. He had the experience of an immortal cultivator and was not a common ancient martial arts practitioner. Naturally, he could handily use a spiritual weapon and the power that he could unleash was much higher than that of common ancient martial art practitioners.
The Sacred Flame Sect deputy sect leader Li Zhuoying originally was not concerned about Mo Wen. But right now, his eyes narrowed, his expression turned serious and his eyes bore a hint of chill. It turned out that the sect’s spiritual weapon actually ended up in the hands of this youth.
That meant that the two elders, Elder Duan Mu, and Elder Diao Peng were indeed dead. The other eight Sacred Flame Sect elders were most probably all dead as well. He did not know how Mo Wen did it, or maybe how the Intentionless Sect did it, but there was something that he did not know. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it was almost impossible for the Intentionless Sect to kill ten Sacred Flame Sect elders.
“I want to see what exactly is so bewitching about a brat like you.” Li Zhuoying coldly snorted. He flew up and dashed towards Mo Wen. At this moment, he finally could not resist anymore. It was because he had realized that this youth may be a very important figure in the Intentionless Sect. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the flying dagger spiritual weapon to be in his hands.
With his intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm cultivation, Li Zhuoying almost instantly appeared in front of Mo Wen. With a simple punch, he made Mo Wen’s expression instantly turn serious.
The golden light on Mo Wen’s body suddenly lit up, almost becoming solid. He did not dodge, instead directly exchanging blows with Li Zhuoying.
Bang!
There was a loud crash and Mo Wen’s silhouette was instantly sent flying backward like an arrow released from a bow. His face was pale and there was blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. Li Zhuoying’s figure on the other hand merely shook a little, then he floated steadily in mid-air, as firm as Taishan Mountain.
Mo Wen received the inertia of the recoil. He furiously flew outwards, directly fleeing, seemingly no longer having any intention of continuing the battle.
“Now do you know fear?” Li Zhuoying coldly laughed. His figure became an image that furiously chased after Mo Wen. He had already decided not to let the youth go. Not to mention that the sect’s spiritual weapon was on Mo Wen and he needed to seize it back, but the youth already had such cultivation at such a young age. If he was allowed to continue to develop, who knew how terrifying he would become. With this awareness in mind, Li Zhuoying did not care about overseeing the overall situation anymore. He decided that he would think about it after he killed the youth now.
With his back towards Li Zhuoying, the corner of Mo Wen’s mouth curled into a strange smile. He did not turn his head around and kept fleeing, keeping up the appearance of someone fleeing for his life.
Li Zhuoying, on the other hand, chased behind relentlessly. The two of them flew deep into the Intentionless Sect.
“Brat, you can’t escape me. Come and die quietly.”
As expected, the speed of an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner was astonishing. In a situation where Mo Wen was going all out, the distance between the two of them was still drawing closer. If this continued, it most likely wouldn’t take long for Li Zhuoying to catch up with Mo Wen.
