Invincible Kungfu Healer-Chapter 896 - The Panicking Ming Temple

Chapter 896: The Panicking Ming Temple

Tsk! Tsk!

As it was surrounded by the golden phoenix flames, the green corrosive power that was everywhere within the challenge ring completely evaporated. It had already been unable to withstand Mo Wen’s Fire of Nine Yang. Right now, it was like accumulated snow encountering the blazing sun. A large portion of it had already melted in the time it took to take a breath.

“A phoenix illusion. You…”

Heng Xiangguang was totally shocked. He had never imagined that Mo Wen actually could master such martial arts teachings that involved the power of Heaven and Earth Divine Beasts. This was far harder to comprehend than the profound aura of ordinary rite of passage martial arts.

“This could spell trouble!”

Heng Xiangguang grew cautious, immediately dashing backward and preparing to retreat. He knew that it was not wise to attack Mo Wen head-on. Once these martial arts teachings that contained the power of Heaven and Earth Divine Beasts were utilized, their might was rather terrifying.

In terms of might, these martial arts teachings already far surpassed the Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm that had reached the profound aura realm.

But once the fire phoenix appeared, how could it possibly let him escape? Mo Wen’s silhouette was like a trail of smoke, and it trailed behind like a shadow. At the same time, the phoenix illusion in the sky let out a long elegant screech. Then, it dived down and blended into Mo Wen’s phoenix flames.

Rumble!

A fire phoenix carrying endless golden flames flew out from Mo Wen and crashed into Heng Xiangguang’s body at lightning. The terrifying power exploded and sent him flying. It was like a bomb had gone off, and he was sent crashing out of the challenge ring.

“So powerful! As expected of a magnum opus that channels the power of the Divine Beasts.”

“That instantaneous explosive power is astonishing! Most likely only ultimate warriors can block that.”

…

In the square, the ancient martial art practitioners were shocked. The instantaneous explosive power just now had actually sent Heng Xiangguang flying almost two thousand meters. How powerful was it? However, many people who had good eyesight could see that although Heng Xiangguang was sent flying by the explosion, he had not been seriously injured. After all, Heng Xiangguang was very powerful. After activating the Decaying Technique’s corpse manipulation technique to its utmost limit, the power of his flesh was absolutely astonishing. Although the martial arts teachings that contained the power of the Divine Beasts was frightening, it was not possible for it to kill Heng Xiangguang.

However, since Heng Xiangguang had been sent flying out of the challenge ring by more than a thousand meters, he had lost this challenge ring battle.

“You…”

Only after Heng Xiangguang had traveled more than a thousand meters did he manage to stabilize himself. His expression was extremely ugly. Just now, if Mo Wen had not used this terrifying push to send him flying, Heng Xiangguang’s ability was enough to allow him to still hang in there. After all, his Decaying Technique was not weak, and his cultivation was far higher than Mo Wen’s. However, Mo Wen had not fought him to the death, instead nimbly sending him flying out of the challenge ring. He had already lost that battle.

The golden flames on Mo Wen’s body receded and were finally completely extinguished. His expression was somewhat pale. He had also been injured after going head to head with Heng Xiangguang. After all, Heng Xiangguang was very powerful, especially when he was going all out. His attack power was practically unbelievable. It was likely that only ultimate warriors could suppress him.

Luckily, Mo Wen’s own body was powerful enough and could take a beating. Otherwise, he would not even have had the chance to unleash the Flame Phoenix Wave.

The Flame Phoenix Wave was one of the two fire attribute rite of passage martial arts that Xiang Buwei had mastered. However, it was far more difficult to practice than the Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm.

After Mo Wen received some of the inherited memories of Xiang Buwei, he found the Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm very easy to practice and had even been able to master its profound aura.

However, he could not make head nor tail of the martial arts teaching the Flame Phoenix Wave. When practicing in the Cold Pool Valley for a few days, he had not managed to grasp its essence.

Of course, the Flame Phoenix Wave was far harder to cultivate than the Gigantic Spirit Blazing Flame Palm. After all, this martial arts teaching contained the power of Divine Beasts, and it could slightly activate some of the power of Heaven and Earth. Although it was just slightly, the power of Heaven and Earth was absolutely frightening. That was a power that only ancient martial art practitioners that had become immortal could master. One could imagine how terrifying it would be for an ordinary ancient martial art practitioner to be able to activate the power of Heaven and Earth.

Originally, Mo Wen had been unable to unleash the Flame Phoenix Wave. However, while battling Heng Xiangguang, his understanding of the martial arts teaching’s essence of Xiang Buwei’s inheritance had increased. He had comprehended the Flame Phoenix Wave. In the past, when Xiang Buwei obtained the Flame Phoenix Wave, he had cultivated it for a very long time before comprehending this martial arts teaching.

It could be said that the Flame Phoenix Wave was Xiang Buwei’s trump card magnum opus in the past. It was the reason why he could move freely around the entire world of Hua Xia, meaning that the Huatian Palace had only been able to capture him after several decades. The power of the Flame Phoenix Wave was one of the major reasons.

Also, once cultivated to a high level, the Flame Phoenix Wave could be combined with other martial arts teachings to unleash even more power.

Mo Wen had won, and he came down from the challenge ring. Immediately, 30000 points were automatically deposited into his jade pendant. His point tally instantly jumped to more than 80000. He had broken into the top ten and was now ranked fifth. He had even managed to squeeze out Sword Addict White Dust who had been in fifth place.

Mo Wen did not continue to challenge anyone and instead left the challenge ring. He was not a reckless person. After winning two matches, he knew that if he continued to challenge, he would most likely encounter even more frightening opponents. There was definitely no lack of strong practitioners among these criminals. Also, his current points were enough for him to be ranked among the top ten. He only needed to secure his position among the top ten in order to pass the elimination rounds. His final position did not actually mean much to him.

…

“As expected, you have once again surprised me.” Water Deity laughed as she shook her head. This youth called Mo Wen seemed to have endless potential. No matter how much potential was pressed out of him, there seemed to be no end to it in sight.

“Interesting. This Heaven List Tournament is becoming even more interesting.” The youth in the shadows slowly lifted his head, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile. He had initially been worried that he wouldn’t have many opponents in this Heaven List Tournament. However, from the looks of it now, if he wanted to secure first place, he would need to bring out a few tricks.

“Another strong adversary. This monk is melancholy. I came all this way to win first place in the Heaven List. If I end up losing to a little kid, how embarrassing would that be?”

…

Mo Wen came down from the challenge ring. The ancient martial art practitioners in the square all had different thoughts going through their minds. The criminals did not think too much about it, merely taking Mo Wen to be a frightening opponent. They only needed to be slightly cautious. As long as they did not encounter him, he would be no danger to them.

However, the participants, especially those who had the ability to make it into the top ten, felt differently. They would surely have to battle Mo Wen sooner or later. Mo Wen’s ability was too immense. The pressure they faced was much greater now.

Those ranked among the Heaven List’s top ten could receive an award. However, different ranks had different prizes. The prizes for ranking among the top three and the prizes for taking ninth or tenth position would not be on the same level at all.

“Damn it! Damn it all!”

Lord Merciless’s expression was extremely ugly. The rage in his heart shot up into the sky. How was it possible? It had only been a few days since he had seen Mo Wen. How could he possibly become powerful to such an extent? The last time he fought Mo Wen, the youth was just barely comparable to an ordinary third realm Martial Arts Grandmaster. How had he become so powerful now?

When Lord Merciless thought about the look that Mo Wen gave him when he came down from the challenge ring, even he could not help but feel a chill down his spine. Mo Wen’s current ability was something that he certainly could not match.

“Lord Merciless, what do we do now?” Shao Ji’s eyes were full of fear. Mo Wen was so powerful. If he came to seek revenge on Shao Ji in the future, that was practically… Also, he knew that there was a sizable grudge between the Ming Temple and Mo Wen. Such an opponent made it practically impossible for them to eat and sleep in peace.

“Do you see me as a joke now?” Lord Merciless stared at Shao Ji, and his frenzied expression caused Shao Ji to shiver. Right now, Lord Merciless was on the verge of losing control of his temper. Shao Ji had been there when Mo Wen had embarrassed Lord Merciless. This time, Shao Ji was around again. This made Lord Merciless ill at ease; how he wished he could kill this lowlife with a palm strike.

“No… No….” Sensing Lord Merciless’s terrifying killing intent, Shao Ji took a step back, with great fear in his eyes.

“This is not a place for rubbish like you to stay. Hand me your points and get out of here,” Lord Merciless said plainly. They were at the death corner fighting ring now so Lord Merciless couldn’t act on his thoughts. Otherwise, he would most likely have killed Shao Ji, who had seen him being embarrassed twice.

“Yes, yes. Thank you, Lord, for being so merciful.” Shao Ji didn’t dare to rebel against Lord Merciless’s order. He quickly transferred all his points to Lord Merciless. Then, he crushed his jade insignia and was teleported out of the square in an instant. If Lord Merciless wanted to kill him, Shao Ji couldn’t defend himself at all. Besides, Shao Ji’s death would not be avenged; even the Ming Temple behind him wouldn’t dare to say anything.

“Mo Wen, just you wait. I will surely kill you. Kill you!” A hideous voice was roaring in Lord Merciless’s mind.

…

In the Divine Dragon Nest.

Wang Yinru gave a deep sigh of relief and fell back into her seat, exhausted. Just now, she had been focused solely on the challenge ring, as though she was the one fighting instead of Mo Wen.

“So powerful. Even I would most likely not be able to withstand one move from the Palace Lord. Mo Wen is indeed a crazily talented youth.” Shock filled Tan Qiyue’s eyes. It had not been long since they had last met, and Mo Wen was already so powerful. When they left the Fighting Spirit Tower, Mo Wen was at most on a par with him.

The outside world was not the Fighting Spirit Tower. It was practically unbelievable for Mo Wen to have improved so much in such a short time.

“So, he and I were never on the same level all this while.” Yin Banshuang sighed softly. A complicated expression flashed past her eyes. When they first met, she had thought of Mo Wen as a genius who was comparable to her. Only now did she understand that Mo Wen was never in the same world as her to begin with.

The Dafang Sect and the Ming Palace’s ancient martial art practitioners were all rejoicing over Mo Wen’s victory. The stronger their sect leader was, the more beneficial it would be for them. Some ancient martial art practitioners from the Five Beasts Sect and the Purple Qi Pavilion were especially touched by Mo Wen’s victory. Before this, many of them were somewhat reluctant to pledge their loyalty to Mo Wen. After all, the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had been ruled by them for hundreds and thousands of years. They were unwilling to have an outsider leading them.

However, right now, everyone was gladly convinced of Mo Wen’s ability.

Of course, since there were people rejoicing, there were also those who were enraged.

In the area where the Ming Temple was, all the Ming Temple strong practitioners were staring at the youth on the challenge ring in disbelief.

“How is this possible? How could he…” Bu Xinyi was stiff. He was stupefied as he stared dumbfoundedly at the challenge ring. How could Mo Wen be so powerful? This was practically… practically…

A deep sense of fear loomed in Bu Xinyi’s heart, causing him to shiver uncontrollably. He felt that even though he had hidden in the Ming Temple, he couldn’t hide from this youth.

“Terrifying. So terrifying. Too terrifying.”

The Ming Temple’s Second Sect Grand Elder exclaimed the same word three times consecutively. His face was pale. Initially, the Second Sect Grand Elder thought that Mo Wen was only powerful when he was in the Fighting Spirit Tower, and he would lose his advantage once he came back to the real world. However, right now…
