Chapter 737: Shi Turiming’s Pride and Joy
“Yowza!” shouted Yun Mofeng as he shot up like a spring, leaving a trail of blood in his wake. He clutched his butt, convulsed all over, and screamed pitifully. “How is it possible for an ant to beat me?”
The others were also shocked.
“He actually managed to injure Yun Mofeng?” Qing Xuan’s eyes widened in surprise, and when she noticed Yun Mofeng’s wound, her hand quickly shot up to her mouth.
The gap between the Heavenly Realm and the Wisdom Elite could not be adequately described in words at all. Therefore, it was also impossible for a treasure to fill this gap. However, it was clear that the branch Shi Turiming was holding did just that!
Shi Turiming stood where he was and apologized to the branch, “I’m sorry for shoving you up the butt of that scum. I couldn’t help it…”
“Why you…!” Red in the face, Yun Mofeng pointed at him while clenching his butt to stop the blood from gushing out. ‘How dare he humiliate me like that! This is psychological warfare!’
“Old Yun, we must get our hands on that extraordinary branch.” Zhao Feng stared at the branch greedily, wishing to imprint his eyeballs on it. He roared anxiously, “Everyone, attack at the same time! I want him alive or dead!”
Immediately, the members of the Dragon Wave Sect raised their hands in unison to deploy a joint attack formation. Their mana gathered in the void to form a vast ocean, which was expected when a dozen or so Heavenly Realm fighters joined forces at the same time.
“Die!” shouted Yun Mofeng furiously, red in the eyes, as he cast out another attack.
In the face of the siege, Shi Turiming remained calm. He waved his branch, and countless afterimages manifested in front of him, blooming in the void like flowers, blocking the numerous attacks.
The branch was enveloped by a layer of emerald green light as the power of Origins swirled around it. It was just like a baton, and every time it took a shot, it could easily summon the power of Wisdom and exert an incomparably powerful force.
Both Qing Xuan and her grandfather were stunned and rooted to where they were. “The Legendary Beast Sect’s so strong! The sect master single-handedly took down so many people!” said Qing Xuan with awe in her voice.
The old man took a deep breath and said in horror, “The sect master did mention he has a powerful figure backing him up. From the looks of it, the seventh dimension is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface. They’re the epitome of how still waters run deep.”
The battle continued.
The branch in Shi Turiming’s hand surpassed any divine weapon, making him peerlessly powerful. It might have looked flimsy but many of the opponents had already been shot to the ground by it.
In a blink of an eye, five out of the dozen or so Heavenly Realm fighters were already puking blood out of their mouths. On the other hand, Shi Turiming was only a little pale in the face.
“Something’s off about the Legendary Beast Sect! This isn’t the strength a Heavenly Realm should have!”
“This branch is so unusual. Even a single light blow from it makes me feel like the whole world’s crashing down on me!”
“How is it possible for a mere Heavenly Realm fighter to possess an Ultimate Treasure like this?”
The more they battled, the more deeply the horror of the branch was imprinted in their hearts.
“Young Master Zhao Feng, quick! Call the sect master over! I’m positive that this branch came from somewhere deep inside the Origins. We cannot let it get away!” shouted Yun Mofeng hurriedly. The thing he was most worried about was that Shi Turiming would try to do a runner with the branch.
“On it, Old Yun!” Zhao Feng took out a jade talisman and smashed it in the air, creating an opening in the space. The aura of the mighty Wisdom turned into a vortex and a strange power started to blossom.
“Oh, no! He’s calling for backup!” Qing Xuan’s grandfather’s face darkened. He rushed forward and bombarded the space with his attacks, hellbent on destroying it.
However, a thin palm appeared out of the vortex and blocked all of Qing Xuan’s grandfather’s attacks, sending him back a few feet. Immediately after that, a middle-aged man dressed in a purple robe appeared. His eyes were like stars, his whole body was majestic, and he began to scan his surroundings.
“Zhao Feng, what could possibly drive you to use the natal jade talisman I’ve given you?” asked the man.
“Father, look over there! We’ve discovered a priceless treasure!” said Zhao Feng excitedly.
The middle-aged man looked at the battlefield, then his pupils constricted sharply. ‘A Heavenly Realm fighter managed to single-handedly fight off the elites of my sect? Wait a minute, is that a… Origin’s Ultimate Treasure in his hand?!’
The middle-aged man’s heart thumped wildly and he took another good look for confirmation. “The power of Origins is rich in this one. Never would I expect the seventh dimension to possess a treasure like this. I dare say that the grade has even surpassed the Origins Ultimate Treasure that I have!” he said with shock and happiness.
“I was afraid of it getting away so decided to call you here,” said Zhao Feng.
“Hahaha, well done! You did the right thing!” The middle-aged man laughed and stared at the branch with lust. “This is an unexpected blessing given to us by heaven itself.”
Without hesitation, he launched an attack at Shi Turiming.
Qing Xuan’s grandfather immediately rushed over and said coldly, “Stop! Zhao Longtao, I’m your opponent!”
“Hehe, a person who doesn’t even have an Origins Ultimate Treasure isn’t worthy of being my opponent!” Zhao Longtao smiled disdainfully. A whip phantom shot out like a poisonous snake from his hand, cutting off Wisdom along the way as it struck down on Qing Xuan’s grandfather.
Qing Xuan’s grandfather’s ultimate spells were instantly dispelled and he was sent flying. Blood flowed out of a deep welt on his body and his Origins of Life was severely injured.
“The Origins from the seven dimensions can suppress Wisdom. There’s only death for those who underestimate its power!” Zhao Longtao laughed triumphantly. Then, his eyes fell on Shi Turiming. He sneered and said, “The power of the Origins Ultimate Treasure depends on the user. It’s obvious at your level that you can’t exert all its power. Therefore, you should give it to me!”
He swung his whip at Shi Turiming. The whip wrapped around the branch in his hand. The Origins aura of the two treasures were locked in a stalemate and Shi Turiming’s actions were immediately blocked. The other members of Dragon Wave Sect saw the opportunity and began to launch one attack after another at him.
“Game over!” Zhao Feng laughed, looked at Qing Xuan with a smirk, and said, “Qing Xuan, you’re mine tonight!”
“Dream on!” said Qing Xuan between gritted teeth.
“It’s not up for you to decide. I’ll kill your grandfather if you don’t do as I say!” said Zhao Feng cockily.
Qing Xuan’s delicate body trembled with anger. Her face was desperately pale, helpless, and sad, and she was at a loss of what to do.
Yun Mofeng was still not out of the game. His eyes were full of killing intent as he positioned himself above Shi Turiming. “He who insults me dies!”
Just when he was about to cast out a palm strike to wipe out Shi Turiming, a cold aura suddenly rushed over as a figure shot through the air. It was a glowing woman. Her long hair fluttered with the wind and the aura she exuded made her seem otherworldly. She was none other than Shi Tuqin.
Li Nianfan made a pile of grilled donkey meat to be distributed amongst the powerhouses and she, being the young sect master of the Legendary Beast Sect, had taken this chance to come home for a visit. On the way, she sensed a few powerful aura engaged in a fight, and so, she sped over as fast as could. Arriving there, she was shocked to see what had happened.
She immediately made her way over to Shi Turiming and asked with concern in her voice, “Father, are you okay?”
Shi Turiming let out a long sigh of relief and then said with fear, “Thank god you’ve come, daughter. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t be able to see me ever again. These people aren’t good people.”
“I know, leave the rest to me,” Shi Tuqin nodded and turned her cold gaze toward the Dragon Wave Sect people.
“Wow, you’re pretty!” Zhao Feng’s eyes were about to bulge out. He was looking at Si Tuqin with a perverse glint in his eyes while he excitedly said, “I never expected Shi Turiming’s daughter to be this pretty. Why don’t you join me and Qing Xuan tonight! Hahaha!”
Qing Xuan’s grandfather sighed inwardly. ‘Master Shi’s daughter really chose the wrong time to come back for a visit. She might as well serve herself up on a golden platter.’
Shi Turiming stabilized his injury and his confidence returned. “Shut your mouth, you crazy dog! How dare you speak to my daughter like that?”
He would not allow anyone to humiliate his daughter like that. After all, she was an apprentice of the expert! He was confident that she could easily defeat these people after training under the expert for so long.
Zhao Feng’s face darkened. “How dare you speak to me like that, you old geezer! You should just up and die!”
Qing Xuan and her grandfather were also shocked. ‘Hasn’t Master Shi learned his lesson? Is he really that confident that his daughter can save him?’
“Shut your eyes and your mouth!” Shi Tuqin looked at Zhao Feng indifferently. With a flick of her wrist, a brush appeared between her fingers. She wrote in the air, ‘seal eyes, seal mouth’.
The ink flowed like water in the void and the power of Wisdom slammed into motion, blessing the four words with the order of heaven as it crashed against Zhao Feng.
“How dare you!” Zhao Longtao shouted angrily and immediately raised his hand to block Shi Tuqin’s attack, but all that met him was air.
In the next instant, an irresistible force made Zhao Feng tremble and he suddenly panicked as if he had become extremely insignificant.
“What are you doing? What is this power? I can’t open my eyes! Gah! I’ve become blind! Ah! I…” His voice stopped abruptly. His mouth was sealed up! His body was trembling and he kept spinning around in place in panic.
Everyone’s eyes widened in horror at the same time while Shi Tuqin stood there serenely.
“You’re a Wisdom Elite!” Zhao Longtao looked at Shi Tuqin angrily, his emotions all over the place. ‘How is it that this girl’s stronger than her father?”
Yun Mofeng stared at Shi Tuqin’s brush and in a trembling voice, he said, “Sect Master, her brush is definitely not ordinary, it’s definitely an Origins Ultimate Treasure!”
Zhao Longtao was also aware of this and a myriad of expressions flashed across his face. “It seems like the Legendary Beast Sect has been hiding many treasures from us. No matter, they’ll all be mine in the end!”
He waved the whip in his hand and lashed at Shi Tuqin violently!
Seeing this, Shi Tuqin just stood there quietly, not making a move. Just when this whip neared her, it froze. Zhao Longtao tried to move the whip but was surprised to find that he had lost control of it.
The whip seemed to have become a well-behaved snake, looking up and down at Shi Tuqin’s brush. Then, without saying anything, the whip immediately turned its head and rushed back to the stunned Zhao Longtao. It then wound tightly around him like a rope. Even then, he still did not snap out of his shock.
Yun Mofeng was shocked. Qing Xuan was shocked. Her grandfather was shocked. Only Zhao Feng could not see what happened, and his mana anxiously condensed into words in the void, ‘What happened?’
Shi Tuqin chuckled and said to the whip, “I see that you know what’s good for you. You surrendered just in time.”
Zhao Longtao’s face flushed red. He found all this hard to accept. “No, how could this be? How could an Origins Ultimate Treasure turn against its master? Who are you exactly?!”
He finally realized that he had provoked someone who he could not afford to provoke. Even his Origins Ultimate Treasure rebelled on the spot. What else could he do?
“Fall back! Fall back, now!” yelled Yun Mofeng. His soul almost left his body and his brain was about to explode. He ran away without looking back. He burned everything he had and shot out across the air in a beam of light.
‘I need to get away as fast as possible! We’ve underestimated the seventh dimension! How could an ordinary sect produce so many monsters?’ thought Yun Mofeng.
The other members of the Dragon Wave Sect also dispersed at a speed of light.
“Hey, come back! I’m not done with you all.” Shi Tuqin slowly raised her brush and gently drew four strokes in the form of a rectangle in their direction. Instantly, the space she drew was peeled off like a piece of white paper, and printed on it were the figures of Yun Mofeng and the others running away!
“Please, spare me, Goddess! D*mn that kid! He’s no son of mine. I’m sorry for ever listening to him. I’m willing to surrender!” Zhao Longtao had never seen such a terrifying technique before. He was so scared that his liver and gallbladder were splitting apart. Fat drops of tears fell from his eyes as he kept begging for mercy.
Shi Tuqin ignored him and raised her brush pen again, sending Zhao Longtao and his son neatly into the painting. Then, she offered the painting to Qing Xuan and her grandfather.
