The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 183 The Demon Stone Explosion

"Crack, crack...!"

Centered on the two people at the origin of the storm, waves of terrifying energy burst forth wildly, clearly indicating that the energy core, with its violent aura, was extremely unstable!
"Damn it...!"

Black light rapidly enveloped half of the broken floating stone platform. Looking at the blue-robed man opposite him, whose figure was also frozen but whose expression remained unchanged, the man with the knife was terrified and kept roaring.

The moment the cleaver pierced the opponent's chest, Xue Wu felt his tiger's mouth tear and his hand bones twist. The sensation of that contact was like hitting an unshakeable mountain!

The most fatal thing is:

That "mountain" carried a strong adhesive force!
Not only was the Bloodthirsty Blade tightly gripped by the force of the attack, but Blood Five's body was also stuck to it by the "plasma flow" transmitted through the blade!
"What kind of sorcery did you use?!" Due to the limitations of Xue Wu's own perspective, he could only describe this strange and bizarre situation as "sorcery".

"Sorcery...!? Evil Spirit Master—Blood Five! If I hadn't arrived late yesterday, how could you still be alive now...? And you're talking to me about sorcery? How laughable!"

"Who...who are you?!"

The man in blue chuckled, his words causing the other man's eyes to widen in shock, his heart sinking. Then, taking advantage of Xue Wu's momentary daze, the man in blue continued his clandestine actions.

"Bam—!"

Immediately afterwards, two loud noises came from a layer of energy wall that resembled water ripples, seemingly blocking something, and the man in blue inside breathed a sigh of relief.

"Impossible, this power is...!" The old man who had unleashed two hand strikes had a gloomy face. He staggered back several steps, scraping against the broken stone platform, before he could dissipate the force.

After regaining his footing, Elder Chen was filled with doubt and suspicion. He vaguely guessed what had caused this strange change and was just about to urgently ask the other elders for help.

unexpectedly……

"Not good! Everyone below the tenth level of cultivation, immediately lie down...!" In the VIP section, a furious figure suddenly transformed into a streak of light and shot towards them at lightning speed.

At that astonishing speed, it wouldn't take more than a few breaths to reach Elder Chen's side!
"Hiss~, what a terrifying aura...!"

The piercing Taoist chants emanating from the white-haired old man filled the entire area and continued until now. Almost all the inner disciples and a few elders, whose minds had been captivated by the strange energy, finally came to their senses in shock.

"My God, even the Grand Elder has lost his composure! This is it, we're doomed, we're doomed...!"

Whether they were inner disciples who were inherently arrogant or elders who usually held themselves in high esteem, they all disregarded their image and lay prostrate on the ground.

"Sect Master, quickly save them! That thing is about to explode!"

Seeing the terrifying momentum of the black light shrouding the arena about to unfold, the withered old man's heart stirred, and he quickly transmitted his voice to the purple-gold crowned man beside him who had already stood up but was still waiting for the best time to make a move.

Ling Weiyun's clone had seen and remembered all the righteous disciples who had stood up for him.

Now, faced with this unexpected disaster, how could Feng Ling not think about them? What's more, he was the one who caused this impending catastrophe!
Although detonating the Ghost Stone was a pre-arranged plan between Ling Weiyun's clone and the Jade Purity Sect Master, and these people wouldn't be in any real danger, Feng Ling still didn't want innocent people to get hurt!
"It's alright, Elder Ling, don't worry!" The man in the purple-gold crown, who had been staring intently at the white-haired old man's every move, smiled and waved at the withered old man.

"Brother Ling, wait a little longer!" Even the kind-faced old man, who was usually impatient, remained calm. The two of them seemed to be confident, and no one knew what they were planning!
What surprised Feng Ling even more was that the elders with slightly furrowed brows seemed to have taken root in their legs, standing there with their arms crossed, not taking what was happening in front of them too seriously!

……

"Don't waste your energy. I've completely soundproofed the area. You can shout until you're hoarse, but it won't do you any good!" The man in blue glanced at the white-haired old man who was rushing over at top speed, then turned to the terrified Xue Wu with disdain.

Immediately, a mocking smile appeared on Feng Ling's lips. "Originally, before your master arrived, I could have easily killed you myself!"

"Eighth Rank?! An eighth-rank advanced Ghost Spirit Master...! You actually hid your cultivation level...?!"

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from the man opposite him, the pale-faced man holding the knife felt a jolt in his heart, and a sense of conspiracy washed over him.

"Sigh... but it's such a pity!"

Ignoring Blood Five's question, the man in blue sighed softly, as if talking to himself: "So be it...! Being blown up by it is your good fortune!"

The words just fell...

"You, you... what are you going to do!?" Under the shocked gaze of the man with the knife, the man in blue who had been unable to move suddenly broke free, and the silver spear that should have been lost reappeared in his hand.

"Let me see you off!"

A ghostly light flashed, and the Fire-Tipped Spear struck the Ghost Stone. The raging energy core paused for a second, and Feng Ling seized the opportunity to quickly pull away and fly backwards towards the black light barrier behind him.

"Boom!" The next second, the entire stone platform shook violently as if it were being torn apart, as if it could not withstand the energy at the center.

"Everyone off the field, retreat quickly...!" Suddenly, a large chunk of the energy barrier shattered, just in time to catch the severely injured, blood-spitting, unconscious man in blue.

Immediately afterwards, Elder Chen's expression changed drastically, and he pushed the man in blue to where the fat and thin disciples were.

Due to its unique internal structure, the Demon Stone explodes in three stages, from its outer shell and gas cloud to its core. The current situation is a sign that the Demon Stone is about to explode.

"Blood Fifth, disciple...!" The light swiftly landed on the shaking stone platform, watching helplessly as the man with the knife was completely swallowed by the black light. Even the powerful Grand Elder could not save him in time.

"Damn it~, another one died...!" The white-haired old man's eyes flashed, and he muttered to himself through gritted teeth.

Then, noticing the old man beside him whose aura had surged and whose face was flushed, he immediately snorted coldly in his heart and symbolically raised his hand to exert force and shout.

Perhaps harboring resentment towards Elder Chen for not saving his disciple immediately, the white-haired elder's attack was rather perfunctory. He mobilized the vast energy within his body, filling most of the dueling arena, but held back from unleashing it.

A classic case of all bark and no bite!
In fact, if the Grand Elder had been decisive enough and rushed in with his own cultivation, he might have been able to save Xue Wu.

However, doing so would inevitably result in Long Yuzhong being severely injured, and the person he rescued would certainly be a useless cripple.

It can be said that the gains did not outweigh the losses!

Putting aside the fact that the Grand Elder's meticulously planned conspiracy could not be carried out.

How could the Jade Purity Sect Master, who saw him as a thorn in his side, possibly let go of such a good opportunity to "take advantage of your weakness and kill you"?
"Hiss~...!" With a violent roar, the surrounding temperature rose sharply, and rings of scorching, dazzling light shone brightly. The long-brewing storm had finally arrived!
"Boom--!"

Like a small nuclear bomb exploding, the seemingly indestructible floating stone platform instantly turned into dust.

"Pfft...!" Immediately afterward, the old man who was at the forefront shrank his pupils and suddenly spat out a mouthful of thick blood, but he managed to block the first wave despite his serious injuries.

"Scatter...!"

Seeing that the other party had learned their lesson, the white-haired old man felt a little better and immediately gave a few shouts before leaping forward.

With a casual wave of his sleeve, he not only dispelled the aftershocks of the explosion for Elder Chen, who was seriously injured and coughing up blood, but also quickly sealed off the remaining leakage of violent energy.

Their formidable strength is undeniable!

"Are we saved?!" Everyone looked up in shock and confusion, then saw the figure of the old man waving his sleeve in mid-air, and a hint of joy appeared in their eyes.

Before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, billowing black smoke enveloped half the sky, and the pungent smell of sulfur filled the air. An even stronger sense of crisis surged up from his back.

"Get out of the way!..." With a flash of black light in his hand, Long Yuzhong's expression changed drastically. He quickly waved his hand and pushed away the old man beside him who had just taken the opportunity to stabilize his injuries.

Unexpectedly, Long Yuzhong forgot to control the force of his attack, causing his opponent to aggravate his injuries again!
"Pfft—!" Elder Chen spat out another mouthful of blood as he landed on the thousand-meter-long circular disc below.

Although he was extremely frustrated with the Grand Elder, he knew it was due to the circumstances, so he immediately sat down cross-legged to heal his injuries.

But as soon as he sat down, the old man suddenly frowned and felt a small energy shield rapidly formed by the power of ghosts and gods supporting him. He then revealed a relieved smile.

It turned out that the several deacons and inner disciples who were waiting there had come to their senses and, in perfect unison, stepped forward to summon their respective weapons, forming an impenetrable protective barrier around Elder Chen.

but,

There are a few exceptions though...!
"Boss, wake up!..."

"You must... hang in there...!"

In the corner, two disciples, one fat and one thin, stood on either side of the unconscious man in blue robes, their eyes bloodshot. Sweating profusely, they gritted their teeth and desperately poured the power of the ghosts and gods into his body.

Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that the man in blue was really going to die!

"I'm not fat, you two hurry up and take me away!"

Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best. Feng Ling couldn't take it anymore. He thought that if things continued like this, the two of them would ruin everything sooner or later. So, he had an idea.

"Boss, boss..."

Suddenly, a familiar yet helpless voice transmission rang in their ears. Zhu Bupang and Gou Bushou, who had sad expressions on their faces, were startled and immediately looked down.

"You're alright...?" The man in blue in the middle twitched his eyebrows slightly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. The fat and thin disciples then widened their twitching eyes.

As she wiped away her tears, she thought to herself: all that effort we put in, risking our lives and wasting so much energy healing him, turns out that all that serious injury and vomiting blood was an act!

"Shh! If you two raise your voices any louder and make their master react, then I'm in trouble!"

"Uh... cough cough~! Sorry... I almost got the boss into trouble! Let's go now!"

After receiving a glare from the man in blue who closed his eyes again, Zhu Bupang and his companion immediately understood. They first scratched their heads awkwardly, then subconsciously glanced at the white-haired old man who had summoned his scepter and was displaying its power.

Sensing a trace of the Elder's terrifying strength, Zhu Bupang and his companion both shivered.

They weren't stupid. Don't be fooled by the fact that the Grand Elder wasn't bothering the man in blue right now; he was just too busy to deal with him. Once the Grand Elder came to his senses, he would definitely not let Feng Ling off the hook!
Even if Xue Wu died in an accident, Long Yuzhong wouldn't kill the seriously injured Feng Ling in public, but he would still teach him a painful lesson that would only worsen his injuries. Not only would he be severely punished, but he would also hold a grudge against Feng Ling.

However, what Zhu Bupang and his companion couldn't understand was: where did their boss get the Ghost Stone? Did he get it from their master?
"They really spared no expense!" The two sighed inwardly, thinking that the withered old man, who was an elder, was smuggling.

It's unclear whether they meant their master was willing to give away the valuable Ghost Stone, or the man in blue was willing to waste a Ghost Stone so carelessly!

"Phew...!" After holding their breath for a long time, Zhu Bupang and his companion finally managed to suppress the admiration and envy that had risen in their hearts.

Then, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she quickly and quietly carried the "unconscious" man in blue on her back and disappeared into the dark passage at top speed.

"Black Dragon Devouring Technique...!"

Just as the three figures disappeared into the passage, the white-haired old man who had previously faced the violent energy empty-handed dared not be careless again and immediately summoned a dragon-shaped scepter plated with strange patterns.

"Bam—!"

As the Grand Elder slammed down, the eerie light flowing from the top of the scepter shone brightly, forcefully crushing the violent, black-and-red stone that was frozen in mid-air.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that it was precisely the place symbolizing the dragon's head!
The scene was so bizarre that anyone who dared to look up couldn't help but exclaim in their heart: Amazing!
Immediately afterwards, the shimmering patterns on the other parts also began to pulsate slightly.

Especially with those fierce-looking dragon eyes, the whole thing looks just like a lifelike dragon, lazily coiled around the scepter.

"Oh no...!"

With a cough of blood, the aged figure was sent flying backward at lightning speed. Everyone was horrified: the Grand Elder, who had just been so arrogant, was now injured by the backlash.

"All elders, form the formation—!"

The Daoist voice was majestic, and even the rolling heatwave seemed to pause for a moment. Then, in the blink of an eye, the VIP seats where the voice originated were completely empty.

"You old fool, I never expected this!"

You've already taken that step...!

Feng Tianjue's feelings were very complicated at this moment. He could naturally see that the Grand Elder's serious injury was feigned. At most, Long Yuzhong had only suffered minor injuries from that backlash.

Originally, the white-haired old man alone, with all his might, could have suppressed the explosive power of a demon stone, even at the cost of being "severely injured".

However, the old fox, the First Elder, was always very cunning and naturally did not want to suffer this loss in secret!

Amidst the myriad troubles and disturbances of the world, may the sages bring you, the readers, a pure land for your souls.
