A terrifying Cold Qi descended. The entire center square, including the Mindfulness Hall at the front of the square, as well as the palace halls further away, was all frozen with a layer of ice crystals. It only took an instant for the ice to cover the heavens and the earth.
“So cold!”
“Such frightening Cold Qi. I can’t move my entire body. Impossible! I am an Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioner!”
“What’s going on? This Cold Qi is so powerful.”
“That is... Look quickly.”
The entire execution area was instantly in pandemonium. The people who had higher cultivations were slightly better off, but those with insufficient cultivation were frozen to the spots by the Cold Qi, unable to move at all. Even Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioners felt their entire bodies stiffen. Their limbs were numb, and it was difficult to walk.
Luckily, the Cold Qi only filled the air and did not seep into the bodies of the ancient martial art practitioners. Otherwise, more than half the people in the square would have been instantly frozen to death.
Everyone looked up into the sky where they discovered that a human silhouette had appeared above them. The figure was that of a tall and slender youth. He merely stood quietly in the sky above, his entire being like a mountain. The pressure he exerted made it hard for everyone to breathe.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBehind the youth stood another two people. One was Zou Guangbo, who had an astonished look on his face and had yet to recover from the shock. Another was Jiang Pingzhou, who was being held tightly by a dark hand.
“That youth is really frightening. Who is he?”
“He has such a powerful aura. Even the Weapon Forging Sect Leader, Jiang Jingtao does not have such a frightening aura. Could it be that he is an ancient martial art practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm?”
“Quickly, look behind him! Good heavens, who is that? My eyes aren’t deceiving me, are they? How is it that the Medical Sect leader Jiang Pingzhou has been caught by that hand?”
“The dignified sect leader has been captured. This youth hasn’t come with good intentions.”
“Mo Wen! It’s Mo Wen!” Chen Zi kept blinking as she stared intently at the tall, slender silhouette. She did not dare to believe her eyes and suspected that they were playing tricks on her. How had Mo Wen appeared here? He had no reason to come here and seek his own death! Why had he come?
In reality, the upper echelons of the Intentionless Sect all knew that if Mo Wen came to Intentionless City, he would certainly end up dead. It was absolutely impossible for him to make it out of Intentionless City alive. The city was full of enemy experts, and they were also unlikely to let the Intentionless Sect go. Any intelligent person knew that no one would spit out meat that was already in one’s mouth.
Many of the Intentionless Sect’s members, including Chen Wuhui, had not expected Mo Wen to come. At least if he was still alive, he could avenge the Intentionless Sect in the future when he had the chance. If he was caught as well, then that would be the end of everything.
Initially, after Mo Wen had not appeared for such a long time, the members of the Intentionless Sect had thought that he had taken the wisest decision, choosing to completely conceal himself, and possibly even escaping the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. They never thought that he would still come.
Chen Wuhui looked deeply at Mo Wen, then closed his eyes and breathed a long sigh. Zi’er was right. Mo Wen was indeed a righteous man, but his act of camaraderie here was foolish and unnecessary!
“Mo Wen!” Jiang Jingtao furiously stood up from his seat. His eyes stared at Mo Wen who was standing in mid-air. Jiang Jiangtao’s face was twisted and his expression was hideous. His eyes were full of hatred. This was the person who had crippled his son and had taken away his bright future.
“Little b*st*rd, I am going to kill you! I want to tear you to pieces and grind your bones to dust.” From the moment he saw Mo Wen, Jiang Jingtao completely lost his mind. He did not care about how frightening Mo Wen’s current aura was. With a wave of his palm, he shattered the table in front of him. He flew up and instantly appeared in front of Mo Wen, sending a punch furiously crashing out towards him.
“You don’t know your own strength.” Mo Wen smiled coldly as he slowly extended a palm. He easily grabbed Jiang Jingtao’s fist as it moved towards him. An all-out punch unleashed by a later stage Golden Elixir Realm absolute ancient martial art practitioner in rage was instantly stopped by Mo Wen, and his body did not even shake. It was as though a child had punched an adult, and the adult had easily been able to grab hold of the child’s fist.
“You...” Jiang Jingtao looked at Mo Wen in astonishment. The feeling caused by his fist landing in Mo Wen’s palm was like a mountain had pressed down on him. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move his hand at all. It had been completely clamped down by Mo Wen.
“How is this possible?” Jiang Jingtao did not dare to believe his own eyes. He had later stage Golden Elixir Realm cultivation and was a strong practitioner of high rank in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. No matter how powerful Mo Wen was, it was impossible for him to be this powerful. Jiang Jingtao activated his cultivation to the limit, but he still could not wrestle free from Mo Wen’s palm. Mo Wen’s arm did not even shake once.
It was impossible for even Grandmother Hui Ling, whose cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm, and who was a veteran figure of the Purple Qi Pavilion, to have such ability.
“This youth is really powerful. A dignified Weapon Forging Sect leader has actually been caught by him, and now he can’t budge. What sort of power does he need to pull that off?”
“He is terrifying. He is practically a demon. No wonder the Medical Sect leader was also captured by him. Since when was there such a strong expert in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension?”
The battle in the sky above surprised everyone. It was more like teasing than a battle. This youth was teasing the Weapon Forging Sect leader, a later stage Golden Elixir Realm absolute strong practitioner.
“You will die!” Jiang Jingtao was enraged to the limit. He had not expected that after he had just encountered Mo Wen, and before he could avenge his son, he had already been humiliated in such a manner in front of the crowd. As a person who was renowned in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, and almost stood at the pinnacle, how could he take such humiliation?
He did not retract his punch, instead aiming a kick at Mo Wen’s face. With his cultivation, he could even shatter a mountain with a kick, let alone injure a person. But before his leg could reach Mo Wen, a power that was frightening enough to astonish him surged from Mo Wen’s hand and lifted him up like he was a barbell. The kick he was aiming towards Mo Wen missed his target.
Crack! Crack!
The sound of bones cracking kept sounding. Jiang Jingtao’s fist contorted bit by bit in Mo Wen’s palm. It was crushed into a bloody mess, completely losing its shape. Pain that penetrated deep into his heart surged from his hand. Even with Jiang Jingtao’s willpower, he couldn’t stand it and cried out. action
Zou Guangbo, who was standing beside Mo Wen, drew a cold breath. It was clear to him that Mo Wen was immensely powerful. He was standing right next to Mo Wen and could clearly sense that Mo Wen had not unleashed any Inner Qi at all. Instead, he had relied on the pure power of his flesh to cripple Jiang Jingtao. Was Mo Wen still a human? Zou Guangbo forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Not even a demonic beast had such terrifying power in their flesh. In Zou Guangbo’s eyes, Mo Wen seemed to be an ancient mythical beast in human form. Most likely even the power of the flesh of a Beast King was not as great as his.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the square, the sound of people inhaling sharply could be heard everywhere. People were terrified. This youth was practically a mythical beast in human form. He had actually crushed the hand of the dignified Weapon Forging Sect leader into a bloody pulp! What sort of power was needed to pull that off?
On the stone pillars, the Intentionless Sect elders looked at Mo Wen with stunned expressions one by one. This... Was this person actually Mo Wen?
They even suspected that this person was not Mo Wen, but a mysterious strong practitioner disguised as him. How could Mo Wen have possibly become so powerful in the time since they had seen him? Before this, Mo Wen was already powerful enough, but compared to now, the difference was worlds apart. He did not seem to be the same person at all.
“He possesses such terrifying power. What level of power is it? How has he managed to do it?” Chen Wuhui was also completely stunned. He clearly knew how powerful Jiang Jingtao was. In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, Jiang Jingtao could be ranked among the top ten strongest practitioners. Against an intermediate stage Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner like Chen Wuhui, Jiang Jingtao most likely did not need more than a few hits to kill him. Such a powerful person was right now being bullied by Mo Wen like he was a child.
“I knew it. Every time you appear, miracles will always happen.” Chen Zi initially did not want to cry again, but when she saw Mo Wen, her tears started flowing uncontrollably.
“Weren’t you looking for me and searching for me everywhere? Now that I have come, let all those who are looking for me come and face me.” Mo Wen’s voice spread throughout the entire Intentionless City. He simply threw Jiang Jingtao to the ground as though he was throwing trash. Jiang Jingtao crashed into the ground, forming a large crater and sending dust flying.
Mo Wen slowly turned and looked in the other direction. More than ten silhouettes could be seen flying through the sky at high speed. In an instant, they had traversed a few hundred meters. Each of them emanated powerful aura waves from their bodies. In the time it took for a few breaths, they had appeared in the sky above the center square.
People were also flying over from all corners of Intentionless City. They were all at least at the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir Realm. There were around one to two hundred people gathering around the center square from all around the city. Clearly, the changes in the center square had alarmed all the high ranked ancient martial art practitioners in the city.
“So it was you, you little b*st*rd. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” The person who arrived at the center square the fastest was an old woman dressed in ragged clothes. This old woman was ancient, seemingly on her way to the grave, but her aura was immensely strong, far more powerful than Jiang Jingtao’s.
This person was none other than the Purple Qi Pavilion’s Grandmother Hui Ling. She was a rare pinnacle of the Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioner in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. Maybe she was not the only one in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, but in the Eight Major Districts, she was the only known one.
It was because of her that the Purple Qi Pavilion had once again risen to become the number one faction, usurping the Five Beasts Sect’s position.
“Old woman, you are already of old age, and your mouth is still so unclean. No wonder the young ones have no upbringing. So it was the elders who have passed it on,” Mo Wen said as he placed his hands behind his back.
“Little b*st*rd, I hate you down to your bones. Cease your cheekiness and quickly hand over the Purple Bottle Gourd. Otherwise, I will make your life a living hell.”
Grandmother Hui Ling looked at Mo Wen sinisterly. Her heart was seething with hatred. This little b*st*rd actually dared to steal the Purple Qi Pavilion’s most valuable inherited treasure, the Purple Bottle Gourd. His audacity knew no bounds.
