Chapter 197: Sudden Changes!

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

A cold draft howled shrilly as night fell, and in the yard, numerous leaves fluttered down from the tall ancient trees.

The spacious Demon Subduing Hall was bereft of sound, save the rising and falling footsteps of a youth. Each step resounded heavily in the hearts of every martial practitioner present, as though it was stepping on their hearts.

‘What kind of move is that? An esteemed Xiantian master was actually killed just like that without any sound or warning!’

The Evolved Jing masters felt their hearts turn cold. Even with their superior senses, they had not been able to see the movements of that youth!

“Is your Mount Longhu not afraid of turning into the laughing stock of the world by doing this?!”

Yagyu Mimoto took a step back with a slightly pale face as he watched Bei Feng getting closer to him. He felt like a sharp blade was hanging above him, waiting to reap his life.

“This… ” Pu Yang was also in a difficult situation.

“Mount Longhu is Mount Longhu, while I represent myself. I just don’t like seeing my homeland being disgraced by you guys.”

Bei Feng had arrived before Yagyu Mimoto. “Hand over the Form and Will Fist manual.”

As one sets his eyes upon another person, treating them as prey, they should be prepared that another might similarly look as them as prey as well.

“You want the Form and Will Fist manual? Stop dreaming! I’ll rather destroy it than give it to you!”

A vicious expression appeared on Yagyu Mimoto’s face. As a Xiantian esteemed lord himself, his senses were extremely keen. Bei Feng’s killing intent was clear as day to him. After saying that, he directly lifted the Form and Will Fist manual, making to destroy it!

“Swish!”

A dazzling golden light appeared beside Yagyu Mimoto’s wrist, slicing through it cleanly before turning back and stabbing towards his neck!

“Is that a flying sword technique?”

Pu Yang’s jaws fell apart again. The flying sword was too fast earlier, and a speed of five times the speed of sound was also beyond what a Xiantian expert could track with their eyes. But this time, the flying sword was only moving at three times the speed of sound. Focusing his perception, he could barely make out a small dagger the size of a palm within the golden light!

“Clang!”

An invaluable martial knife worth several cities was directly cleaved in two.

A look of absolute disbelief still hung on Yagyu Mimoto’s face even as a thin line appeared on his neck. He had not expected that this high-grade weapon which he’d crafted himself with a mountain of precious materials would actually be cleaved apart so effortlessly!

Bei Feng walked over to Yagyu Mimoto’s body and picked up the Form and Will Fist manual.

He flipped through it gently and, his expression one of a person who picked up a treasure, the Form and Will Fist manual disappeared in his hands.

The crowd who was still immersed in their previous shock had barely recovered before a deeper silence fell upon them.

“That was not a chicken or a duck that was killed! The two who died were both Xiantian masters!”

The experts in the crowd felt their hearts tremble violently. The Xiantian realm was something that they were all striving to achieve. But today, two of those esteemed lords had died before their eyes! This image caused many among them to feel greatly disheartened.

So it turned out that even Xiantian experts were not infallible. Yes, they would gain an increase to their longevity, but that was under the condition that they did not get killed before managing to enjoy that extended longevity! Even people as powerful as those two Japanese were still killed.

Fortunately, those who walked the martial path also possessed resolute hearts. The dispirited feeling only lasted for a moment before it was thrown to the back of their minds. What was the point of thinking so far ahead? Breaking through to Xiantian realm and gaining a new lease on life should still remain their top priority!

Upon breaking through to Xiantian, the fleshly body would receive a baptism from the Heaven and Earth Ling Qi, strengthening it many times over. Without any exaggeration, even if a Xiantian master lost his cultivation, he could still be as powerful as a dual cultivating Evolved Jing master, based on his fleshly body alone!

As the crowd stood around, unsure of what to do, the spilled blood and Qi of the two dead men slowly dissipated through the air. But as it touched the Devil Expelling Well, it immediately disappeared!

Before Danxia Zi could step forward to dismiss the situation, something strange appeared in the Demon Subduing Hall.

“Clink!”

A series of metallic clankings like that of metal chains dragging on the ground suddenly rang out in the Demon Subduing Hall, sounding eerily loud.

Everyone looked around curiously as they searched for the source of the noise. Eventually, everyone’s gaze was directed at the Devil Expelling Well.

“Not good! Leave this place quickly!”

Pu Yang and Danxia Zi’s faces turned dark as they shouted and fled, utilizing their fastest movement skills.

Many among the crowd were still looking at the departing figures with puzzlement. Why did the two show such a big reaction? Their words even contained a trace of fear!

Mystic Four and the rest were originally seated quite near to the entrance of the hall. Hearing the anxious cries of Pu Yang and Danxia Zi, they wasted no time in fleeing the hall, conveniently scooping up the three unconscious people outside with them.

The Evolved Jing old-timers were no fools. To be able to scare Pu Yang and Danxia Zi so much as to make them flee, the situation had to be very dangerous. Not daring to be slow, they also began to flee from the Demon Subduing Hall! The younger generation found themselves grabbed like luggage as their elders charged out of the hall with them in hand.

“You stupid kid! How did this granddaddy have such a dumb grandchild like you!”

An old Evolved Jing master looked at his grandson who was still standing at his spot with a puzzled expression. With expletives spewing out of his mouth, he shot back towards the boy angrily, tucked him under his arms and took off!

“Yin!”

The cry of a huge bird sounded out, accompanied by the loud clanking noises of chains. The entire mountain even shook slightly at that!

The image of a terrifying bird appeared in the minds of all who heard the cry. Although the image looked somewhat illusory, the sharp and tyrannical eyes of the bird were especially striking!

Immediately thereafter, a terrifying suction force came from the well. Even those experts who had ran far away from the area could feel the blood and Qi in their bodies welling up, as though it wanted to break out of their bodies!

Mystic Four and the rest directly spat out a mouthful of blood. They looked somewhat weak and dispirited after suffering the attack.

The old man who had gone back for his grandson did not manage to make it out of the hall in time. His face fell as the suction force appeared behind him. Using all his strength, he threw the youth under his arms out of the hall resolutely and allowed himself to be sucked backwards!

“Grandpa!!!”

The youth was caught by another Evolved Jing master. The color drained from his face as tears rolled down his cheeks. In that moment, he wanted nothing but to charge back into the hall after his grandpa.

“Plop!”

The Evolved Jing master holding him shook his head sadly as he slapped down on the back of the boy’s neck with the edge of his hand. In an instant, the boy lost all consciousness as he fell softly to the ground.

“Hou! Ang!”

Just when the crowd thought that the day couldn’t get any stranger, an even more shocking thing appeared. A huge manifestation of a tiger 100-meters-tall suddenly rose into the sky, followed by a extremely lifelike dragon, similarly 100-meters-long! Its body was so long it looked like a mountain range!

A slight pressure descended on the entire mountain peak, causing the crowd to fall into a nervous state.

Everyone retreated repeatedly, only stopping when they reached the foot of the mountain. There, the pressure was lifted from their hearts.

At this time, the entire Mount Longhu was wrapped in the indomitable pressure which descended from the sky!

“Yin!”

A desolate cry sounded out from the well, as though it wished to tear apart the heavens! The white fog surrounding the mountain was immediately dissipated with that single cry!

At the same time, the tiger and dragon manifestations began to glow with a golden light. The light was so intense that the mountain was covered in dazzling rays, illuminating it as though it was the sun!

The dragon and the tiger intertwined together and directly charged into the Devil Expelling Well!

Immediately after, loud booms echoed out continuously from deep under the mountains, as though the earth was being rended apart by an earthquake.

Everyone including Bei Feng was staring dumbly at the mountain, lost in shock at the fairy tale-like phenomenon. The appearance of the tiger and the dragon gave him a feeling of staring at the endless ocean, its depths unfathomable!

Any one of those beasts could trample him to death with absolute ease. The distance between their strengths was really too far apart!

“Danxia Zi, what is going on here?! You’d better give us a proper explanation!”

The martial practitioners all felt a lingering chill in their hearts. If they were even slightly slower in running away, they would likely end up like that Evolved Jing master who was sucked back into the hall. It was obvious that there wasn’t a good end waiting for anyone in that hall even if they thought with their butts.

“Right! For this matter, you owe us an explanation!”

The knowledge that they’d actually spent several hours in that accursed Demon Subduing Hall drove shivers down everybody’s spines. That place was no different from the unstable gates of hell!
