Chapter 682: Murong Clan: One Backup After Another
‘Revenge?’ Murong Yuncheng squinted his eyes to take a good look at Tian Tong but he still did not remember who he was. No matter who he was, it was of no importance to him. “How dare an average Joe like you seek revenge from the Murong Clan? Do you have a screw loose in your head?”
Murong Yuncheng scoffed and slowly got up from his seat. “I was being kind to you because I admire your talents. However, it seems like you don’t appreciate that at all so you can’t blame me for what my men are going to do to you all next,” he said to Xiao Chengfeng and Jiang Liu. “Men, kill them!”
Immediately, a wave of terrifying murderous intent exploded and swept across the crowd. A strong wind was kicked up and made the temperature drop to a freezing point and the crowd’s skin began to burn. One figure after another gracefully air-stepped across the sky and their appearance sent chills down everyone’s spines.
“You will pay for humiliating the Murong Clan!”
“Tell me, how do you wish to die?”
“Where did you even get the courage to do all that in the first place?”
The fighters’ words echoed through the air, sounding like a bomb exploding. Ten new figures had joined the previous eight, making the total of the Heavenly Realm fighters surrounding them to be eighteen. The line-up was certainly impressive. Not even a complete world could boast so many Heavenly Realm fighters.
“They’re so scary! They must be the elite team of the Murong Clan!”
“That’s Murong Haochen. He entered the Heavenly Realm three thousand years ago. I was there for his celebration banquet.”
“That’s Murong Jinhao. He entered the Heavenly Realm two thousand years ago.”
“Those three are dead for sure!”
“They must be the first people who dared to make trouble for the Murong Clan. I bet they’re regretting their actions now.”
Everyone in the crowd was scared and amazed at the same time and they started to shuffle their bodies away from Xiao Chengfeng and the others.
Murong Yuncheng smiled. He could use this opportunity to show off his Murong Clan’s power. He looked at Xiao Chengfeng and the two others with an expression that showed he had the winning card in his hands. “I’ll give you all one more chance to save yourself. All you have to do is kneel down before me, offer me your Origins of Life and swear your allegiance to me.”
Xiao Chengfeng roared with laughter, “Master Murong, your fart sure is loud!” He said in a mocking tone.
“It’s not only loud, but super smelly as well!” Jiang Liu added.
Murong Yuncheng’s face turned ugly. “Drop dead! Kill them all!” He then rushed towards Xiao Chengfeng. Murong Yuncheng threw out a punch and the impact created a terrifying black hole, sucking everything inside.
“Sword that breaks a thousand attacks, Instant Slay!” Xiao Chengfeng’s eyes were crackling with electricity as he brought down his sword and cut the black hole into two.
“Grand Day Tantra, Fire Sky!”
“Forbidden Skill, Ancient Seal!”
“Yin Yang Reversal!”
The other members of the Murong Clan had also cast out their attacks and the visions they manifested blanketed the whole sky as the power of the attacks filled up the place. Each ultimate spell was more powerful than the one before them and under the hands of the Heavenly Realm fighters, their power was fully unleashed to the point that the spells could wipe out the Origins of Life of others.
“Die!” The sight of eighteen Heavenly Realm fighters casting out their ultimate spells seemed to spell doom for their opponents. Suddenly, a group of people rushed out from the crowd and toward the eighteen Heavenly Realm fighters. They were bathed in a golden light and their energy was swirling around them like a rainbow.
Nanan’s eyes were glinting with a black light, as if they were a pair of black holes, and a mysterious aura was being emitted from her body. She stood facing five of the Heavenly Realm fighters and cast out her spell. “Demon Devouring, Ten Thousand Rivers One Ocean!” The next moment she seemed to have transformed into a black hole, isolated from space, and all the ultimate spells in the skies were sucked into the black hole which caused the space around them to distort.
“How is this possible? What kind of demon magic is this?”
“What a bizarre spell. Even the Eldritch could not suck in ultimate spells.”
“Demon Devouring? It sounds like it can even devour Wisdom! Capture her alive and we’ll interrogate her later!”
Nanan frowned slightly and said coldly, “As if you could ever learn the spell!” She took a step forward, her devouring power still swirling around her, making it impossible for anyone to stop her. Even catching a glimpse of her eyes would make one momentarily dazed. Suddenly, she appeared next to the Heavenly Realm fighters who wanted to interrogate her and with a point of her finger, her ultimate spell exploded. “The Original Nothingness!”
“Ahh— —!” The man screamed pathetically. He was shaking like a leaf and sensed with horror that his magic power was quickly leaking away. He violently jerked away from Nanan while screaming out, “My magic power! You’ve devoured ten thousand years worth of my magic power!”
Nanan blinked innocently at him and said, “It’s only ten thousand years. There’s no need to make such a big fuss about it.” Everyone was shocked to the core and quickly backed the hell away from her, all the while keeping an fearful eye on her.
On the other side, with a flick of her hand, Dragin had summoned countless dragons made from droplets of water. These water dragons were spinning in the sky, giving out one roar after another, and acting as a shield against Murong Clan’s ultimate spell. Even the divine fire casted out by the Murong Clan’s Grand Day Tantra spell could not break through the barrier.
Both Nanan and Dragin’s power had improved even more after the all-venison feast, putting them at the peak of the Heavenly Realm and only a tiny step away from being a Wisdom Elite. Coupled this with the fact that both their comprehension and ultimate spell were formed under the influence of Li Nianfan, made them unassailable.
Cultivator Junjun and Nuwa had joined in the fight as well. Although they were not as powerful as Dragin or Nanan, taking two or three Heavenly Realms at once should not pose any problem for them. After all, they had benefited greatly from Li Nianfan’s blessings as well.
Xiao Chengfeng was engaged in a one-on-one battle with Murong Yuncheng. His long hair was flying around, his black robes were flapping wildly, and his sword intent was indomitable.
“First sword, with a single turn I battled for three thousand miles, with one sword to rule millions.
“Second sword, even the three million sword Immortals in heaven, would need to bow their heads to me.
“Third Second, God would not accept the birth of Xiao Chengfeng, but my sword cultivation is still historical like the long night.”
This was the first three levels of Swordsmanship that Li Nianfan had taught him which then became his three way sword ultimate spell. Even till now, it contained the power to wipe out everything in the universe. Each strike of the sword could cut down countless other spells and break the dimension of space and time itself.
Murong Yuncheng was sent flying as he body was ripped apart by the countless sword lights. Half of his body had been completely grinded into mince meat and his Origins of Life was blinking in and out. His face was one of disbelief. He could not believe that he had lost to a smooth-talking punk like him. It must be because he was not good at talking smack! That must be it! One had to be good at talking smack to become this strong!
No one could believe their eyes either and they thought they were hallucinating. It was a good long while before they came to for how could the great Murong Clan with their eighteen Heavenly Realm fighters be beaten to a pulp like this? No one would have believed it if they did not see it with their own eyes.
“Does my eye deceive me? Where did the world become so crazy?”
“They’re so strong! Where did this group of monsters come from? They must be the representative of the peak power of the Heavenly Realm fighters!”
“It’s amazing how all of them have the aura of Wisdom! I wonder who their master is…”
“It’s not over for the Murong Clan though!”
Many of the guests had left the banquet and were watching the fight from a safe distance.
Xiao Chengfeng rushed toward Murong Yuncheng with his sword again. “Where’s the cocky attitude of yours now, Murong Yuncheng? I’ll give you a chance to save your life too. You’ll have to kneel down and scream on top of your lungs the words ‘Grandfather Xiao, I’m sorry! I’m nothing but a stupid pig!’ and I’ll spare your life.”
“Don’t underestimate the Murong Clan!” Murong Yuncheng said coldly.
The next moment, a few powerful aura surged up from deep within the Murong Manor and in an instant, appeared in the battle field. There were a total of three people this time. All of them had long beards, salt-and-pepper hair, and half-closed eyes, as if the eldery men were pretending to be asleep. However, one could feel the violent Heavenly Realm power flowing out of their bodies and there was no denying the fact that all three of them were also on the peak of the Heavenly Realm! Their power put them way above Murong Yuncheng and a little below Xiao Chengfeng.
“Please save the Murong Clan!” Murong Yuncheng shouted desperately.
The three elderly men smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Leave them to us.”
Instantly, the first rushed toward Nanan, the second toward Dragin, and the third toward Xiao Chengfeng. They needed to take out the first two because they were the most powerful and the last because he was the craziest and thus the most unpredictable.
The first elderly man raised a hand and a black spear with a terrifying destructive aura appeared out of thin air and rushed towards Nanan whose face remained impassive. She only moved her hand when the spear was nearly about to hit her and a shovel appeared in her hand which she used to whack the spear away. She then raised the shovel high above her head and rushed towards the elderly man. The first elderly man did not expect his spear to be whacked away by a shovel and was caught off guard when the shovel slammed down on his head. Instantly, blood gushed out from the top of his head and he saw stars in his eyes.
“How is this possible? What kind of monster shovel is this?” The shocked first elderly man questioned. He angrily backed away and induced his Origins of Life to heal the wound of his head but discovered that he could not. “Could it be that this shovel is a Wisdom Ultimate Treasure that could restrain the Heavenly Realm and suppress the Origins of Life?” At this thought, his eyes went wide with horror.
“Hey, come back, you old bugger! I’m not done with you yet!” Nanan shouted as she chased after the first elderly man with her shovel.
On the other side, Dragin had taken out her ladle too. She raised her hand and an infinite amount of water ripple appeared to suppress all kinds of ultimate spells. The second elderly old man began to back away from her too. “This ladle is a Wisdom Ultimate Treasure too!” He wished that this was all a dream. How could an everyday item like a ladle be a Wisdom Ultimate Treasure? How was it created? All the spectators’ expressions changed drastically when they saw Nanan and Dragin with the shovel and ladle respectively in their hands.
“Ladle and Shovel? Is this how a Wisdom Ultimate Treasure is supposed to look like? Is Wisdom a minimalist?”
“What’s their origin story? How did they get their hands on Wisdom Ultimate Treasures? As if they’re not strong to start with!”
“No wonder they dare to behave so rudely towards the Murong Clan. They had come prepared!”
At that moment, Nanan was whacking away all the other fighters’ treasures from their hands and even their ultimate spells were instantly wiped out with a strike from her shovel. Next, the sound of the shovel knocking against the members of the Murong Clan’s skull could be heard. Some of them did not get away from her fast enough and were struck three times consecutively till they fainted and plummeted from the sky. The appearance of the three elderly men did nothing to change the tide of the battle and in fact, made the Murong Clan seem even more pathetic when one of the elderly men was found to be bleeding on the ground with a huge bump on his head.
“Neither their power nor their treasures are what ordinary people can possess!”
“Our Murong Clan is no match for them at all!”
“They must have discovered some sort of secret to be this powerful!”
“Our Murong Clan will be the most powerful clan in the universe too once we discover their secret!”
“Only the Murong Clan is worthy enough to possess Wisdom Ultimate Treasures!”
Even at the face of their impending defeat, the three elderly men and other members of the Murong Clan did not panic. In fact, the expression in their eyes was one of greed and lust for the Treasures. They were from the Murong Clan after all! A clan that was known for their indefatigable spirit!
“Well done. You all have shown us that we should take you all seriously. You should feel proud of being able to do that,” said Murong Yuncheng arrogantly even though his body was full of holes and the blood was still spewing forth from his mouth. He took a deep breath, sincerely prostrated himself, activated his magical power, and in a clear voice said, “I, master of the Murong Clan, respectfully invite our ancestor to come out of his isolation to drive away our enemy!”
“We respectfully invite our ancestor to come out of his isolation!” The other members of the Murong Clan chorused fervently.
Suddenly, the aura of Wisdom appeared in the air and a bizarre wave of energy rippled across the surroundings. The powerful aura blanketed the sky and even a shred of it made the crowd suffocate. It was as if the sky was about to fall on top of them.
“The ancestor of Murong Clan is coming out?”
“He’s a Wisdom Elite!”
“I’m so glad I’m not their enemy.”
“No matter how strong those people are, they can never be comparable to a Wisdom Elite!”
All of them were waiting with bated breath.
A tidal wave of terrifying visions began to gather at the Murong Manor’s backyard, staining the sky red, as if the sun was setting and in that red skyglow stood a figure with his hands folded behind his back. The way he was looking down at the crowd made them feel as if they were nothing but worthless bugs to him.
