Capítulo 231: Chapter 241 - Another Move?
Before he appeared, the demonic aura that had blanketed the heavens and earth due to Xin Kui's presence rapidly dissipated.
"The esteemed prodigy of the Xin Mo Clan, resorting to sneak attacks? If word got out, wouldn't it damage the dignity of the grand Xin Mo Clan?"
Hearing Jiang Yun's words, everyone was filled with wild joy. Jiang Yun's appearance had given them a sliver of hope.
"It's Jiang Yun; he's out of seclusion!"
"With Jiang Yun here, we are saved!"
"That Yun Yi has already disappeared, presumed to be dealt with by Jiang Yun. This is great, he doesn't have to face two opponents anymore!"
Jiang Yun's appearance instantly calmed the previously panicked crowd. Numerous eyes turned skyward, settling on the familiar figure in brilliant flames.
In an instant, faces filled with excitement and joy, and deafening cheers echoed throughout the heavens and earth. Many people, overwhelmed by the return of hope after despair, knelt in tearful gratitude.
After numerous devastations by Soul Heavenly Emperor, Yun Yi, and the Fire Evil Clan, Jiang Yun had become the beacon of hope in everyone's hearts, a position unmatched by anyone.
In desperate times, people often need a pillar to rely on, and Jiang Yun's appearance perfectly filled that void. Even those unfamiliar with him now bore expressions of excitement on their faces.
"Jiang Yun (Big Brother Jiang Yun)." Seeing Jiang Yun, the girls from Zi Yan and Medusa's group immediately halted their attacks, looking at him with gleeful eyes.
"Really, you want to fish, but you don't notify us, making us worry for nothing. Wait till this is over and see how I deal with you." After the joy of surviving the crisis, a boundless resentment rose in Zi Yan's heart. Biting her silver teeth in frustration, she remarked, her small tiger teeth glinting coldly in the sunlight.
"Zi Yan sister, Big Brother Jiang Yun did it to deceive the enemy. If we had known in advance, we wouldn't have been able to portray genuine emotions." Qing Lin defended Jiang Yun, standing in his shoes.
"But it's still his fault, making me shed tears for nothing." However, Zi Yan was in no mood for explanations and placed all blame on Jiang Yun.
"To think the hidden enemy this time is that guy. If it's him, knowing the truth, he might indeed have seen through our act." Medusa said with a grave expression, tightly staring at Xin Kui emerging from the void.
"It's him!" Zi Yan remarked, recognizing Xin Kui with a serious expression.
Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin, seeing that Medusa and Zi Yan seemed to know the enemy, quickly asked them to explain. Medusa and Zi Yan then briefly recounted the incident where they 'accidentally' stumbled upon an ancient site.
"Achieving the greatest results with the smallest cost, regardless of the means, makes no difference to me." In the dark void, Xin Kui stepped out calmly, his gaze coldly fixed on Jiang Yun as he spoke.
After speaking, his gaze shifted to the Qixia Continent below, scanning it briefly. "It's surprising that you're truly a being from the lower plane. This lower plane is quite remarkable, producing not only a genius like you but also having Nine-Colored Swallowing Python, True Dragon lineage, and several bloodlines of supreme beings. Quite extraordinary for a lower plane."
"Why not stay here? We can explore this extraordinary continent together." Jiang Yun said with a soft chuckle, his tone mild as though genuinely inviting Xin Kui to stay on the Qixia Continent for discussions.
"Interesting, interesting." Xin Kui withdrew his gaze, scrutinizing Jiang Yun with his eerie, pale eyes. After a moment of silent contemplation, he coldly spoke, "I don't know how you managed to convert the lower plane's energy into the Great Thousand World's spiritual energy and even breakthrough the Earth Sovereign, but to keep me here?
"You don't have the qualifications."
"Whether I am qualified or not, how about we try and see?" Jiang Yun said with a relaxed look, continuing, "I see you're on the verge of a breakthrough to Magic Emperor. You wouldn't give up the opportunity of the plane's womb in this plane, would you? If you don't hurry, I may succeed. By then..."
"Boom——"
Before Jiang Yun could finish, Xin Kui suddenly erupted, launching a fierce attack.
"Magical Transformation of the Heavens and Earth!"
With an explosive shout, Xin Kui's foot stomped down, and in an instant, black ripples surged from his feet like colossal waves, sweeping crazily across the land.
Below, the ground quickly turned pitch black, with thick demonic energy rising incessantly. Within a few breaths, the land spanning tens of thousands of miles transformed into demonic soil.
In that vast region, all heavenly energy was tainted with demon essence. Anyone from the Qixia Continent absorbing it would have their own qi contaminated, eventually transforming into demonic entities, an act of the utmost malevolence and tyranny.
Watching the expanding demonic soil, Jiang Yun only smiled faintly and pointed a finger into the air.
"Fwoosh!"
At his gesture, boundless sea of flames surged forth, the fire displaying resplendent hues.
"Hiss!"
The brilliant sea of flames swept across, and the ground tainted by the demonic soil emitted sharp sizzling sounds, faint shrieks echoing with it. The ground turned into scorched earth under the sweeping flames.
In merely a few dozen breaths, the demonic soil created by Xin Kui was obliterated nearly halfway by Jiang Yun's casual gesture.
Witnessing this, Xin Kui's eyelids twitched. Although he had faced many fire-based strongmen in his tenure, including countless fire attribute experts in the Great Thousand World and even in the Evil Extralocal Clan, not counting the Sacred Sky Clan, the Flame Demon Clan was known for fire mastery.
With the demonic soil largely destroyed, Xin Kui remained calm. Instead, he took a deep breath, forming complex mudras with his hands.
"Heart Demon Mantra, Soul-Extinguishing Hand!"
Boom!
The demonic soil spanning thousands of miles erupted, cracking open the ground, as countless streams of demonic energy surged skyward. Amidst the rolling demonic energy, an immense, indescribable hand emerged from deep within the earth.
The colossal hand, pitch black and emanating an aura of pure evil, vast enough to cover the sun and moon, unleashed an apocalyptic force.
Wherever the demonic hand passed, space crumbled into dark voids.
Seeing this, Jiang Yun chuckled, "I've been wanting to test this technique. Let's see its power today!"
Hearing Jiang Yun, countless people looked at him in confusion. After witnessing his next move, they were stunned, then turned to look at Xiao Yan.
High above, upon Jiang Yun's declaration, he raised his palm, summoning brilliant flames that gathered into a radiant fireball.
The radiant fireball, mesmerizing in its vast array of colors, harbored a terrifying strength beneath its mesmerizing beauty.
Each flicker of its flame caused the surrounding space to distort and collapse, the spatial remnants incinerated into nothingness.
Next moment, Jiang Yun extended his hand, grasping at the emperor flame. Instantly, it dispersed into twenty-two different types of strange fires.
The various peculiar fires danced in Jiang Yun's hand, then swiftly compressed. Within a few breaths, a delicate fire lotus materialized in his palm.
The fire lotus, exquisitely crafted like a work of art, displayed vibrant and varied colors. Upon closer inspection, each petal donned a unique hue.
Each petal of the fire lotus was forged from a distinct, extraordinary fire, boasting immense destructive power but submissive in Jiang Yun's hands.
"Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus."
Jiang Yun and the astonished Xiao Yan below simultaneously murmured the technique's name.
"The Qixia Continent has been mindlessly desecrated by the likes of you. Now, feel the wrath of the Qixia Continent!" Jiang Yun declared, holding the fire lotus in a 'righteous' manner as he looked at Xin Kui.
With that, Jiang Yun flicked his fingers, sending the exquisite fire lotus forward. Its speed seemed relaxed, yet it traversed the distance instantly, appearing before the massive demonic hand.
Comparatively, the fire lotus seemed like dust before the enormous hand.
Yet, the dust-like fire lotus caused Xin Kui's expression to change dramatically. A hint of alarm flashed in his eyes as he quickly retreated, forming numerous demonic barriers.
Boom!
The fire lotus collided with the demonic hand, unleashing an indescribable burst of flames that distorted the heavens and earth. The rolling demonic energy evaporated nearly instantaneously, and the demonic hand shattered under the explosive force.
After shattering the demonic hand, the fiery tsunami continued, surging toward Xin Kui.
The boundless sea of flames crashed through the hundreds of demonic barriers, enveloping the retreating Xin Kui.
Boom!
In an instant, the heavens shook violently. The space where Xin Kui stood shattered into countless fragments, and the surging demonic energy evaporated completely. The space in that range of tens of thousands of miles turned pitch black, indicating complete obliteration by the explosion.
Countless brilliant waves of flames ravaged the skies, their terrifying power causing the surroundings to tremble heavily.
The numerous Qixia Continent experts watching from afar involuntarily gulped, their eyes filled with horror.
Clearly, Jiang Yun's display of power this time had greatly frightened them. Previously, his actions hadn't caused such a massive commotion. The visual impact of Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus was undoubtedly more shocking.
They had no doubts; if just a speck of the fiery wave touched them, they would instantly be reduced to ashes.
"Gulp."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but swallow, as the creator of the Buddha's Fury Flame Lotus, he had never imagined the move to wield such terrifying power. Jiang Yun had inconceivably merged twenty-two different fires, and could control them?
He knew his limit was ten merged fires. Twenty-two was unfathomable, requiring immense strength.
Oh~~~, the opponent was a Dou Di, that explains it!
"Is that Xin Kui dead now?" Xiao Yan mused, looking at the shattered space. Given such a terrifying attack, even a prodigious figure like Xin Kui from the Evil Extralocal Clan must have suffered a fatal blow.
Yao Chen nodded. Such a horrifying attack should suffice to resolve the opponent, right?
Countless individuals on the Qixia Continent tensely watched the shattered space, and their eyes suddenly froze seeing a figure emerging from the depths.
The figure's surface was riddled with cracks, making it resemble a broken porcelain doll. Yet, despite his state, he emitted a strong aura, indicating his survival of the recent onslaught.
"You beings from the Evil Extralocal Clan aren't particularly strong, but your vitality is indeed robust!" Jiang Yun remarked, seeing Xin Kui, and teased with a smile.
"Jiang Yun——" Xin Kui's voice was hoarse and filled with hatred. His eyes were crimson, brimming with fury.
Thinking back, as a proud prodigy of the Xin Mo Clan, he had repeatedly suffered under a lower plane ant. Adding to his anger, was the fact that years ago he could have easily crushed this ant (note: without suppression, Xin Kui was above Supreme, Jiang Yun's physical form couldn't withstand him), but now the ant had risen to his level. How could he, as a genius, tolerate this?
"Do you think you've won?"
Severely injured, feeling Jiang Yun's fixed killing intent, Xin Kui's gaze grew venomous, as he knew today's battle would not end with Jiang Yun sparing him.
