Invincible Kungfu Healer-Chapter 961 - Looking Down From Above
Chapter 961: Looking Down From Above
Purging evil and defending righteousness!
With Mo Wen’s cleverness, naturally, he knew the real goal of the Blood Evil Temple. It was just that he had not imagined this sect, which he only had a minor qualm with, would actually want to kill him.
Originally, Mo Wen did not think much about the Blood Evil Temple. He had no intention of being enemies with them. However, sometimes things in Jianghu played out differently than he imagined. Mo Wen did not treat others as enemies, yet the others viewed him as a threat to be immediately eliminated.
“Huh? Lord Xue Chu, why didn’t you contact our Xiping Country’s authorities before you arrived? You have traveled so far. Please forgive us for not welcoming you properly.” As soon as Zhang Huishan left the city, he saw three astonishing cultivators in the air. He recognized the three of them at a glance.
The Blood Evil Temple was a powerful faction in the Xiabian province, the province next to Donghe. However, the situation in the Xiabian province was different from what was happening in Donghe. The Donghe province was shared by a few large factions and consisted of a few countries. On the other hand, Xiabian was dominated by the Blood Evil Temple, which was a very powerful sect. The only country in Xiabian was the Blood Evil Country, which had deep ties with the Blood Evil Temple.
“Zhang Huishan, I’m here on a mission. I hope you will keep out of this,” Xue Chu said coldly while glancing nonchalantly at Zhang Huishan. Zhang Huishan welcomed them with a smile, but Xue Chu responded to his warm welcome with a cold face.
“Zhang Huishan, our Blood Evil Temple is here to purge evil and defend righteousness. All of you from Xiping Country better stay out of this. Otherwise, we won’t be able to tell whether or not your country is in cahoots with the heretic path,” The elder dressed in black, who was standing at the far left among the three, said arrogantly. He was looking down on Zhang Huishan.
The people from the Blood Evil Temple acted arrogantly wherever they went. Indeed, Xiping was a small country and wasn’t seen as important by the Blood Evil Temple. Most likely any one of Xue Chu’s team members was qualified to defeat the entirety of Xiping.
Zhang Huishan’s facial expression was ugly beyond comparison. He welcomed them with a smile, yet the Blood Evil Temple did not save him any face. Regardless, Zhang Huishan was also a Primordial Soul Realm cultivator. Even if he was not as powerful as the Blood Evil Temple Leader and the two sect grand elders, he represented the Cui Hong Sect.
“Fellow brothers from the Blood Evil Temple, the loyalty of Xiping towards the Huatian Palace is unquestionable. Please refrain yourselves from making false accusations.”
Zhang Huishan’s expression turned cold as well. No matter what, this was his Cui Hong Sect’s territory. As the sect grand elder of the Cui Hong Sect, he could not look like a pushover in public.
“Since your Cui Hong Sect is not in cahoots with the heretic path, then we hope you will not help this teenager from the heretic path. Otherwise, your innocence will be questionable,” The elder in white who was standing on the right said plainly. The two elders stood behind Xue Chu like the Dual Evils Black and White [1].
These two people were rather famous in the Blood Evil Temple. The people around the area dubbed them as the Dual Evils Black and White. Both of them had deep and profound cultivation and were intermediate stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivators. They were experts in joint attacks. When they worked together, they were capable of taking on ordinary later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivators.
Rumor had it that the two of them knew each other since childhood and were very close friends. They were inseparable; they even ate and slept together. After such a long time, their minds were practically in sync.
“The teenager isn’t necessarily a heretic,” Zhang Huishan took a deep breath. With a glance, he could naturally tell that these people from the Blood Evil Temple were here for the teenager. The Blood Evil Temple put up such a fanfare. Even the temple leader had come personally just to attack the young man.
The Blood Evil Temple Leader had long broken through to the later stage Primordial Soul Realm. Now, he was at the pinnacle of the later stage Primordial Soul Realm. He was only a step away from reaching great attainment in the Primordial Soul Realm. Rumor had it that Xue Chu had fought with a strong practitioner with great attainment in the Primordial Soul Realm before. He managed to retreat and escape without any injuries.
“The teenager is not a heretic? Humph, Zhang Huishan, you better reconsider that. How can some who possesses a heretic item like the Ten Thousand Soul Banner not be a heretic? Are you planning to defend this heretical young man in front of me? Do you not think that I will kill you too?” Xue Chu turned around slowly. A savage crimson light shone in his eyes. His words were cold and caused others to shiver uncontrollably.
For a long while, Zhang Huishan’s lips twitched; however, no words left his mouth. Xue Chu could easily kill him. Even though both of them were Primordial Soul Realm cultivators, they were worlds apart since they were not at the same stage. It was as easy as killing a chick for a later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivator to kill a beginning stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivator.
“Get lost. It will be best for Xiping to not help this youth. Otherwise, you will pay for your actions.”
With a wave of his hand, Xue Chu sent out a rich spiritual pressure and it sent Zhang Huishan flying backward a few thousand meters. Xue Chu was not bothered by Zhang Huishan on his own. However, if the entirety of Xiping, including the Cui Hong sect, decided to side with Mo Wen, it would be difficult for the Blood Evil Temple to attack Mo Wen. They were in Xiping after all. If they stirred up too much commotion, the Blood Evil Temple would see no benefits.
Even though the Blood Evil Temple was powerful in the surrounding regions, they could not possibly hide the truth from the masses. Many sects were more powerful than the Blood Evil Temple. Some rules must be obeyed. If Xue Chu could do as he pleased without any restrictions, he would have led his people to conquer the Donghe province and a few other small countries a long time ago.
Regardless, this was Xiping and not their Blood Evil Country. If they could not deal with Zhang Huishan from the beginning, it would be difficult for them to take further action, and they might even let Mo Wen escape.
Fortunately, Zhang Huishan gave in and did not dare to be completely at odds with the Blood Evil Temple.
Mo Wen quietly stood where he was and only glanced at Zhang Huishan from afar. Then, Mo Wen ignored him. No wonder Xiping ended up being bullied so heavily by the Fengyu Country. If Xiping did not have the guts and heart to resist, then who could they blame but themselves for being bullied?
“Mo Wen, you should be honored that a dignified Blood Evil Temple Temple Leader like myself has personally come to kill you,” Xue Chu turned his gaze towards Mo Wen and sized him up. He looked like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He looked like he was used to leading. Those who were not in the know might even believe that he was the Huatian Palace’s Grand Palace Lord. He seemed to look down on the rest of creation.
“You are rather narcissistic,” Mo Wen shook his head. He did not like the gaze Xue Chu had while looking down from above, but he was also well-aware that he was no match for Xue Chu.
“As the person who is in control of your fate, should I not act superior to you?” Xue Chu asked plainly. This joke was a little cold, so cold that even Mo Wen laughed.
“The Blood Evil Temple. I’ll remember it. Then, the sect and temple leader that can control my fate, we will meet again in the future.”
Mo Wen’s silhouette directly disappeared from his original position. Since he was no match for them, he would not blindly fight to the death. Xue Chu alone was enough to kill Mo Wen, besides, the two elders with him had extraordinary abilities.
He could not rely on Xiping. He could only depend on himself.
“Trying to escape? Dream on!” Xue Chu laughed coldly. The crimson cape that covered his body suddenly flew up and instantly became a crimson light that enveloped the entire Li’an City. As for Mo Wen, who had quietly disappeared, he seemed to have been hit by something, his silhouette appearing in mid-air.
“The mere young fellow actually thinks he can escape me.”
The crimson ocean surged and killing intent pierced the heavens. Xue Chu was like a fish in water in the crimson ocean. With a step, he directly appeared before Mo Wen. He extended a hand and gracefully sent a palm strike out towards Mo Wen. He did not appear as though he was battling, but rather like he was swatting a fly.
The Celestial Body!
A beam of ancient and fierce aura shot up to the sky. Mo Wen’s entire body became larger, and his two heads and four arms form appeared once again. Compared to before, the form was much more solid. Although it was still a far cry from flesh and blood, one could still clearly make up its features. It looked exactly like Mo Wen but was formed from energy and contained a rather astonishing wild power inside.
The Celestial Body was a Heavenly Path body refining technique and was miraculous beyond comparison. Once he mastered the form with two heads and four arms, they would become true flesh and blood, which was a thousand times more miraculous than the energy form.
However, even so, the might of the Celestial Body was frightening beyond compare.
The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear silently appeared in Mo Wen’s hand and collided with Xue Chu’s palm. Immediately, thunder crashed down from the heavens and a loud rumbling could be heard. Lightning filled the crimson ocean and frenziedly leaped around, a sea of lightning consumed the crimson ocean.
At the center of the sea of lightning, a terrifying wild aura exploded and its momentum was as imposing as a torrent.
Rumble.
Xue Chu only felt a wild power pouncing at him. In an instant, he was knocked back a few hundred meters. Originally, he believed that, with his palm strike, he should have been able to capture Mo Wen alive. He did not imagine that he would only be knocked backward.
A spear lunge sent Xue Chu retreating backward. Mo Wen once again sent out a spear lunge, directly tearing apart the crimson ocean that enveloped Li’an City. His silhouette became an arc of lightning, instantly disappearing from his original position.
“You bastard. Chase after him,” Xue Chu ordered angrily. He never imagined that Mo Wen would be so tough. Initially, he believed that this Mo Wen was a threat, hence he wanted to nip him in the bud. It was shocking that this threat far surpassed his imagination. The attack that exploded out in that instant was an attack that not even an ordinary intermediate stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivator could necessarily achieve. With Xue Chu’s guard down, he was knocked back.
Dual Evils Black and White had also not imagined that the Temple Leader would fail after personally attacking. Just now, they were not prepared. Right now, it was too late for them to be able to stop Mo Wen. They immediately became two beams of light and furiously ran after Mo Wen.
Mo Wen’s face was cold as the wind gathered beneath his feet. In an instant, he had escaped more than a hundred miles away.
He had not anticipated the appearance of the Blood Evil Temple team. Since he was no match for them, he could only run away. Mo Wen could not defeat them, but he was rather confident that he could escape them.
Among the Seven Glorious Infernos, both the Glory of Thunder and Glory of Wind specialized in speed. The Glory of Cloud was useful in handling changes. Back when Mo Wen was in the primeval space, he had refined his three Glory techniques to their highest realm. After that, he also comprehended the corresponding esoteric rules for each Glory. He could combine the Power of Heaven and Earth with each technique and unleash an incredible force.
After all, the Seven Glorious Infernos were the trump cards of the Star Emperor. They were all at least remarkable powers from the Heavenly Path. They were most likely not small path remarkable powers. With the fame of the Star Emperor, they might have been big path remarkable powers. Although he had only scratched the surface in learning them, they were something with which ordinary Heavenly Path remarkable powers could not compare.
He stepped on lightning, and his body merged with the wind. His silhouette took on a hundred forms, making it difficult for others to catch traces of him.
“Bastard. What release technique is that? Even I can’t seem to catch up.”
A beam of crimson light chased closely behind Mo Wen. As a later stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivator, Xue Chu’s speed was astonishing beyond comparison. He even left Dual Evils Black and White, two intermediate stage Primordial Soul Realm cultivators, far behind, but he still, he could not catch up to Mo Wen.
