Chapter 1059: Unmoving Like A Mountain
Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer could not believe it. Someone was actually able to forcefully break through the space created by the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag from the outside. Doing so was far more difficult than breaking it from the inside. The Crimson Blood Demonic Flag was also the lord mayor’s treasure. In order to prevent the Huai Clan second young mistress from escaping once again, he had already injected some power into the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag before he bestowed it upon them.
Even if Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer joined forces, it was impossible for them to be able to shatter the barrier created by the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag. Moreover, it had only been a short while since the battle began. The battles just now seemed complicated, but in reality, they were playing out very quickly. An exchange of blows between experts was like sparks flying; victory and defeat were determined in an instant.
“Who are you?”
Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer looked at the golden silhouette with serious expressions. The pressure that they felt from this person was not very powerful. He seemed to be around their level of cultivation. However, the moment they saw this person, a sense of danger that they could not suppress welled up inside their hearts. The feeling was as though they were being stared at by an unbeatable wild beast.
The Huai Clan second young mistress was also completely stunned. She recognized the youth that was emanating a golden glow. Wasn’t he the person that seemed to have an unspeakable goal and that had followed them all the way from Yunhong City?
Initially, she believed that this person was from Muhong City and that he had followed them all the way to determine their location so that the members of Muhong City could intercept them along the way.
However, from the current situation, it did not seem to be the case.
“A passerby,” Mo Wen said casually. He sounded as though he really was a passerby who came over to have a chat.
“You dare meddle even though you are just passing by?! We are members of Muhong City. Friend, if you did not know that before intervening, please leave now,” Purple Sorcerer said serenely.
Of course, he did not believe that Mo Wen was just someone who happened to pass by. Prior to this, the two of them had noticed this youth following far behind the group from Yingyun City. However, the youth was further away and the space created by the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag was limited, so he had not been enveloped within it.
They naturally were not concerned about this youth. After all, their goal was the Huai Clan second young mistress. It made no difference whether or not they killed another person like him.
However, the two of them had not imagined that the person that they had overlooked actually managed to forcefully shatter the space created by the Crimson Blood Demonic Flag and enter it.
“I know that you are from Muhong City,” Mo Wen still answered calmly.
“Then, what do you plan to do?” Black Sorcerer asked ruthlessly. Purple Sorcerer mentioned Muhong City with the goal of scaring away this youth who had no sense of propriety. However, from the looks of it now, this youth seemed to be undeterred by the mention of Muhong City.
Who was this person exactly? He actually dared to directly interfere in the war between Yingyun City and Muhong City. He also seemed to not be deterred about Muhong City at all.
The people here were not fools. They certainly did not believe that this youth was truly just a passerby.
“It would be meaningless to tell you two what I plan to do,” Mo Wen replied as he shook his head. The conflict between Yingyun City and Muhong City was not something that Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer could decide upon. If the mayor of Muhong City was here instead, Mo Wen would have a discussion with him.
Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer glanced at each other. The two of them seemed to have a conversation in just a glance. The next moment, Purple Sorcerer’s silhouette immediately pounced towards the Huai Clan second young mistress while Black Sorcerer pounced towards Mo Wen.
Their plan was simple. One would hold off the youth while the other captured the Huai Clan second young mistress as fast as possible. Then, they would immediately retreat.
Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer believed that the plan would work out. However, the reality was not as simple as they thought it was.
They were fast, but the golden silhouette was faster. He appeared in front of the Huai Clan second young mistress almost instantly. By the time Black Sorcerer pounced over to where the youth initially was, there was only an afterimage left. Purple Sorcerer was also no longer facing the Huai Clan second young mistress but Mo Wen instead.
“You seek death!”
Purple Sorcerer was enraged. Since this youth in front of him insisted on meddling in this affair, Purple Sorcerer could only fight with him.
A beam of dark purple light shone from Purple Sorcerer’s glabella. An odd-shaped staff suddenly appeared in his hand. The staff was made by some unknown type of wood; it emanated an evil and lifeless aura.
Purple Sorcerer lifted the shriveled staff and it suddenly enlarged and lengthened. It grew frenziedly and in an instant, more than ten wickers, each the width of barrels, entwined and enveloped the space. The wickers were covered in barbed thorns and were densely packed. They sparkled with a dark purple hue and seemed to be extremely poisonous.
“Be careful. Those are Death Ash Thorns. Once surrounded by them, even a cultivator with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm will be trapped,” the Huai Clan second young mistress immediately warned Mo Wen as her expression changed slightly
The Death Ash Thorns were the ultimate technique of Purple Sorcerer. Rumor has it that he could only unleash this technique with the help of the Death Ash Demonic Staff in his hand. He could also only unleash it for a limited number of times. Once he reached the limit of uses, the Death Ash Demonic Staff would turn to dust.
Hence, unless times were critical, Purple Sorcerer would not easily unleash the Death Ash Thorns. The last time he unleashed the Death Ash Thorns, Purple Sorcerer and Black Sorcerer managed to trap a cultivator with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm and then killed him.
Mo Wen remained expressionless. The aura on the Death Ash Demonic Staff was very evil. It should be made from the trunk of some demonic tree. This demonic tree was very common in the Devil Kingdom but was instead exceedingly rare in other places.
As he looked upon the Death Ash Thorns that were frenziedly extending towards him, Mo Wen merely activated the Yin Yang Conversion secret technique. He directly converted the Yin Yang Qi in his body to 100% pure Tai Yang Qi. A beam of terrifying golden light shone from his abdomen. It seemed as though the light of the entire sun had been condensed. Then, it furiously exploded outwards.
Within a radius of 10 000 miles, golden light shone all around. The large portion of ocean water below instantly evaporated. The mist blurred the entire space. In the blurriness, another beam of endless dazzling golden light slowly rose and gloriously shone on the ocean.
The Death Ash Thorns that emanated grey Devil Qi inexplicably burst into flames. Masses of golden flames covered the Death Ash Thorns and burned frenziedly. In a short while, most of the Death Ash Thorns were burnt to dust.
“How is it possible?”
Purple Sorcerer practically did not dare believe what his own eyes were seeing. His Death Ash Demonic Staff was actually burnt. It was the Death Ash Demonic Staff, a magical staff made from the branch of the Death Ash Demonic Tree! How was this possible? Could it be that the person before him was not a Tide Changing Realm cultivator, but a Supreme Profundity Realm being?
Only a Supreme Profundity Realm being, one that had trained in a small path remarkable power of fire, could burn his Death Ash Demonic Staff.
In theory, it was impossible for any Tide Changing Realm cultivator to burn his Death Ash Demonic Staff. It would have been difficult for them to even damage it a little.
Mo Wen smiled sinisterly. Tai Yang Qi was the most unbendable power with the highest temperature. Moreover, right now, he had 100% pure Tai Yang Qi. There were no impurities in his body at all. Ever since he cultivated Yin Yang Qi, this was his first time unleashing the Yin Yang Conversion secret technique that he had successfully cultivated. While inside the Junior Master’s Pagoda, he had spent more than 100 years of training until he finally mastered the Yin Yang Conversion.
Prior to this, although he had practiced the Yin Yang Conversion secret technique, he had only been initiated into its methods. The Tai Yang Qi that he managed to convert was not pure and there would be some residue Yin Yang Qi or Tai Yin Qi in his body. Even though it was a small amount, it would clearly prevent him from reaching the state of absolute pure Yang.
A minimal deviation would result in wide divergence. The difference in his might would be like that of heaven and earth.
There were crackling sounds. The Death Ash Demonic Staff was completely burnt. It turned to grey ash and was scattered into the ocean below.
“No…” Purple Sorcerer was heartbroken. The Death Ash Demonic Staff was an absolute treasure that he had nearly lost his life for. He had always viewed it as his life-saving treasure.
Suddenly, a black silhouette appeared behind Mo Wen without a sound or presence. It was a shady and flickering light that was very mysterious. It seemed to have directly appeared behind Mo Wen, and then furiously crashed towards him.
“Watch out!” The Huai Clan second young mistress who was standing behind Mo Wen immediately noticed the shady flickering light. It was just that when she noticed it, it seemed to already be too late.
It was the Black Demonic Forbidden Light that Black Sorcerer had used to gain his name. Just now, after Black Sorcerer had pounced at empty space, he immediately sneaked up behind Mo Wen and prepared to deal with his underhanded blow.
Seeing the Black Demonic Forbidden Light just within easy reach of the youth, the corners of Black Sorcerer’s mouth curled into a cold, victorious grin. Once hit by his Black Demonic Forbidden Light, even a cultivator with great attainment at the Tide Changing Realm would not be able to withstand it. This youth was too naive. He had actually forgotten about Black Sorcerer. Could it be that the youth believed that all battles were fought head-on, fair and square?
As expected, the beam of Black Demonic Forbidden Light hit the silhouette of the youth. However, just as Black Sorcerer’s victorious smile was widening, an astonishing scene played out. The Black Demonic Forbidden Light actually directly passed through the youth’s silhouette and flew into the distance.
It was just an illusion. Black Sorcerer was staring wide-eyed at it.
“You are too slow.”
An indifferent voice came from behind Black Sorcerer without any premonition. The voice was so familiar and it now appeared behind Black Sorcerer. It had appeared behind him inexplicably and seemed to also be within easy reach.
A slender white hand reached out and patted Black Sorcerer on the shoulder. It was as though an old friend was patting Black Sorcerer’s shoulder to give him a reminder.
Black Sorcerer was so shocked he nearly fainted and died. Mo Wen was actually standing behind him. How was it possible?
This sudden change caused Black Sorcerer to lose his self-control. His tense body subconsciously turned and sent out a palm strike. At the same time, his figure retreated swiftly.
However, he could only retreat two steps before he could not retreat anymore. It was because his hand had been grabbed hold of.
“Die!”
Shocked and enraged, Black Sorcerer channeled all the energy in his body into his arm. The terrifying power was like a flash flood sweeping out. It furiously crashed towards the youth. Close-quarters combat was Black Sorcerer’s forte. Now that he had recovered his senses, he did not believe that, after erupting such power at such a short distance, he was still not a match for this youth.
The Huai Clan second young mistress had just heaved a sigh of relief but she once again covered her mouth with her anxious little hand. She had not expected that this mysterious youth would actually directly grab Black Sorcerer’s hand. Black Sorcerer’s power and body built for combat were renowned in the entire Ruyun Territorial Waters. It was because he mainly trained in body secret techniques.
Then, another astonishing scene played out. After Black Sorcerer channeled all his power into his arm, not only did it not send the youth flying backward, but it also had no effect at all. The youth was like a mountain that remained unmoving on his original spot. It was as though he did not feel the power that crashed onto him.
“Not good!”
Black Sorcerer immediately realized that the situation was bad. Unmoving like a mountain. It was the first time he experienced what this phrase meant. Sadly, he was experiencing it from his enemy. Mountain? Black Sorcerer was confident that he could shatter even a mountain with his punch. However, this youth gave him a sense of eternal immovability.
