Chapter 989: Subdue the Dragon and Tame the Tiger
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
“How dare you!”
An angry and loud cry was heard in the night sky.
Then, a gold token flew out and turned into a Golden Saint Stele. Then it collided with the claw of the headless ferocious ghost.
Boom.
The concealed power of the Golden Saint Stele should have crushed the claw of the headless ferocious ghost.
Bu Qianfan burst through the barrier of the Formation and landed on the lake like a roc spreading its wings. He reached out an arm fully covered by the metal armor, and grasped in his front.
The Golden Saint Stele shrank again into a token. After circling in the air, it returned to his hand.
Bu Qianfan held the token with one hand and the halberd in the other. His long hair was down on his shoulders. With a ruthless Qi of killing, he faced the headless ghost.
Zhang Ruochen silently put away the spatial crack that he was about to throw. He looked at the back of Bu Qianfan, and smiled to Murong Yue. “He finally steps out for you.”
“So what? His cultivation is incomparable to that of Saint General Gui Gu. He’s courting death,” Murong Yue remained calm and untouched.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and sighed, “You’ve looked down on Bu Qianfan, he’s not that weak.”
Far away, Ouyang Huan laughed at the top of the Star Observing Platform. “It’s getting more and more interesting tonight. The Young Master of the Sacred Central Crypt, the Son of Deity of the Blood God Sect, the Young Master of Black Market Excellence Hall, and now, the rising star of the Ministry of War shows up as well.”
“He looks powerful.” Qi Feiyu stared at Bu Qianfan.
Ouyang Huan had a high remark on Bu Qianfan: “He is a rare talent underneath the Kunlun Heirs. I’ve met him not long before, in the Inner World of the Tianlun Mark.”
“He’s not a Kunlun Heir, so how could he enter the Inner World of the Tianlun Mark to practice?” Qi Feiyu wondered.
Ouyang Huan said, “He’s obtained an undying body and reached the Peak Realm twice. A Heavenly King admired his talent and sent him to practice in the Inner World of the Tianlun Mark for two times.”
“But he didn’t practice long enough in the Tianlun Mark, so his cultivation was largely inferior to those of the Kunlun Heirs.”
Qi Feiyu stared at Bu Qianfan for a while, and said, “He is just a Sixth Level Half-Saint, still far weaker than Saint General Gui Gu. Even if he has a strong body, he can’t make up for the distance of three states.”
Ouyang Huan had confidence in Bu Qianfan, and kept smiling. “You’ve underestimated Bu Qianfan too much. He’s not that weak.”
The appearance of Bu Qianfan made the monks in the Pearl Light Pavilion simmer with even more excitement.
Tonight could be called a gathering of the well-knowns. For a stone beauty, the top talents from the Blood God Sect, the Sacred Central Crypt, the Black Market Excellence Hall and the Ministry of War had all gathered here.
The battle between Murong Chengfeng and Saint General Yan Xu went vigorously. It was hard to decide who took the upper hand. And the lakeside was destroyed completely.
Were it not for the Defense Formation, the whole Pearl Light Pavilion would have disappeared.
The headless ferocious ghost stood at the center of the lake like a black magic mountain. The claw broken by the token condensed again.
Ah.
A long and loud cry was heard from the belly of the headless ferocious ghost, giving out earth-shattering sound waves.
In the next minute, two sharp claws of the ghost reached out and hit toward the head of Bu Qianfan. Green ghost fire could be seen in the palm of the ghost claws, releasing burning energy.
Even the monks outside the Formation were scared enough to tremble. Some of them even kneeled on the ground.
The Qi of the headless ferocious ghost was extremely terrible. Once its claw fell down, the Defense Formation would hardly resist it.
If it couldn’t, most of the monks of the Pearl Light Pavilion would probably die.
But Bu Qianfan at the center of the storm wasn’t scared at all. He spread his arms and let strands of black Holy Qi out of his chest, forming a giant black hole of 30 meters in diameter in front of him.
“Heartless Black Hole.”
The power of the black hole was extremely strong, absorbing the Spiritual Qi in the surroundings completely. Even the water in the lake disappeared all of a sudden.
It was not the first time that Zhang Ruochen had seen the Heartless Black Hole. When Emperor One was still alive, he had used this move to almost crack the Space Domain of Zhang Ruochen.
Now the Heartless Black Hole displayed by Bu Qianfan was more complete and powerful. Its strength was several times that of Emperor One.
The giant headless ferocious ghost couldn’t help itself but to fly to the Heartless Black Hole, and was soon devoured.
“Crack!”
The second before the headless ghost was taken by the Heartless Black Hole, Saint General Gui Gu rushed out from behind the ghost and ran away.
“Where do you think you can go?”
Bu Qianfan pulled his halberd and took a step forward. He caught up with Saint General Gui Gu and stabbed him.
“Bu Qianfan, you are asking for death!”
Saint General Gui Gu pinched his bony hands into claw prints, and played 72 claws in a row.
Giant ghostly claws covered up the sky to catch Bu Qianfan inside.
Boom.
Bu Qianfan used his halberd to crush all the claw prints. Then he stabbed to his front and pierced the right hand of Saint General Gui Gu.
Fresh blood kept bleeding from the palm of Saint General Gui Gu.
And the tip of the halberd came closer and closer to the heart of Saint General Gui Gu, as if it was going to penetrate his body.
“Young Master, help!”
Saint General Gui Gu had no options but to call for Kong Hongbi’s help.
“Useless.”
Kong Hongbi looked awful. He stood there and reached out a hand to capture Saint General Gui Gu, like taking an object through the space.
Then Saint General Gui Gu was saved from dying and appeared in the hand of Kong Hongbi.
Bu Qianfan didn’t go on chasing him. He looked at Kong Hongbi cautiously. Of course he was not scared. He wanted very much to fight.
The monks in the Pearl Light Pavilion were totally shocked. Some even dropped their jaws.
“The battle power of Bu Qianfan is terrible. He’s just a Sixth Level Half-Saint, but he can kill a Ninth Level.”
“Isn’t it against the universal rules to have stepped over three states?”
The battle power of Bu Qianfan was surely beyond many people’s expectation, which scared them to shudder.
But some monks paid more attention to Kong Hongbi, No.7 on the Half-Saint Rank.
“The way Kong Hongbi picked up Saint General Gui Gu was like picking up a chicken, rather than a Ninth Level Half-Saint. It won’t be more difficult for him to kill Saint General Gui Gu than to kill a chicken.”
“Naturally, being on the Half-Saint Rank meant that Kong Hongbi had the strength to challenge saints. The gap between a Ninth Level Half-Saint and a saint is huge.”
…
Kong Hongbi threw Saint General Gui Gu like throwing a rock.
Then he looked at Bu Qianfan, and said, “The Thousand Victory King of the Ministry of War would dare to come to the headquarter of the Black Market… You have guts. But don’t you fear that now that you’ve come here, you can’t leave alive?”
Bu Qianfan had been granted the Thousand Victory King, having the rank of the King of the Middle Region.
Bu Qianfan wasn’t fearful at all, and said freely, “Kings have long arms.” He meant that all land belongs to the Imperial Court. “What about the Black Market?” he continued. “Where can’t the soldiers of the Ministry of War go to?”
“Kings have long arms? For the sake of this sentence, I will take your saint soul today.”
Before he finished the words, Kong Hongbi vanished from his original spot.
Bu Qianfan changed his face all of a sudden, and said to himself, “Crap.”
For he didn’t see how Kong Hongbi had disappeared.
Out of his instinct, Bu Qianfan grasped the end of the halberd to throw it horizontally and stabbed to his right.
As the halberd rubbed the air, flickers were given off with a cracking noise.
But the halberd fell into the hands of Kong Hongbi.
Kong Hongbi stood only one step away to the right of Bu Qianfan. He touched the halberd gently, and said, “You are too slow, and too weak. Who encouraged you to challenge me?”
A cold light flashed in Kong Hongbi’s eyes. He stabbed the halberd suddenly and penetrated the heart of Bu Qianfan. And he threw Bu Qianfan backwards.
Bu Qianfan wanted to dodge, but he couldn’t.
Bang.
The halberd nailed Bu Qianfan into a column of the summer house. Red blood soon dyed the whole column into blood red.
Silence.
The whole Pearl Light Pavilion fell into silence. Only the dripping of blood could be heard.
All monks stared at Kong Hongbi with startled eyes, as if they were looking at a young demon god.
It was horrible.
Bu Qianfan was really powerful, and yet he couldn’t resist half the move of Kong Hongbi.
Who could fight him under the state of saint?
Kong Hongbi put his hands behind his back, standing in midair. He stared at Zhang Ruochen in the summer house, and said, “Now, do you regret fighting against me?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t change his face. He looked at Bu Qianfan who was being stapled on the column, and said, “You are powerful indeed, but not enough to scare me off.”
“Is that so? Then I have to break your legs and ask you again.”
Kong Hongbi flashed and disappeared again.
Everyone knew that Kong Hongbi had an extremely fast speed. When he showed up again, maybe the legs of Gu Linfeng would be broken.
But this time, things became different.
“You have to defeat us to fight our Uncle Master.”
The second Kong Hongbi disappeared, Sikong One and Sikong Two both disappeared from behind Zhang Ruochen.
“Tame the tiger to suppress hell.”
“Subdue the dragon to shake the heavens.”
Sikong One pinched his hand into a fist print. Powerful Buddhist light burst out to become a white tiger which was more than ten meters long.
Sikong Two pinched his hand into a claw print. Black brilliance burst out, and a giant black dragon overlapped with his body.
They both faced Kong Hongbi with the ferocious tiger and dragon, heavy fist and sharp claw. And they had stopped the aggressive Kong Hongbi.
Bang bang.
The three fought together with deranged human shadows and soaring might. In a blink, each of them had displayed hundreds of moves.
The white tiger jumped to the front; and the black dragon ribbed to the front.
The next moment, Kong Hongbi was seen flying backwards. His hat was broken, and his hair went down. On his chest, three bloody claw prints could be seen.
