By killing the mayor of Muhong City, his task would be complete and he would not have to worry about anything after the fact.
Hence, Mo Wen would not easily let the mayor go.
“Mo Wen, are you forcing me to take you down with me?”
The mayor’s expression became extremely ugly. He had compromised to such an extent and this youth was actually still unwilling to cooperate. Mo Wen was practically going too far.
The mayor of Muhong City was a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator. If he fought with no regard for his life, he would most likely be able to kill Mo Wen. This youth was practically foolish. If they were talking about who between the two of them would have the highest chance of being the last man standing, the mayor still felt that his chances were higher. It wasn’t just him; most likely everyone on the entire Yingyun Island believed that a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator had a higher chance of surviving.
“Take me down with you? You won’t necessarily be able to do so.”
Mo Wen laughed sinisterly. A bolt of lightning suddenly flew out from his body. The next moment, a long lightning spear appeared in his hand. The long spear grew according to the size of his figure, instantly becoming more than five thousand feet long. It emanated rather frightening destructive aura.
“Another heaven spiritual treasure!”
The corners of the mayor of Muhong City’s eyes twitched. He was already somewhat numb to Mo Wen’s treasures. This world was always that unfair. The difference between those with background and those without background was extremely big. A mere Tide Changing Realm cultivator had so many treasures, whereas a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator like him could not even produce a single comparable item.
In the eyes of the mayor of Muhong City, Mo Wen was one of these people with a background.
“Die!”
Mo Wen’s body with two heads and four arms wielded the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear in one hand and the Sacred Fire Sword in another. He charged fiercely and aggressively towards the mayor of Muhong City.
…
“I cannot kill him. How is it possible?”
After a day, the mayor of Muhong City’s hair was disheveled and his clothes were in tatters. He had countless wounds on his body. Even with his level of cultivation, he could not immediately heal them. It was clear how severe his injuries were. However, the giant he was facing had received far more powerful attacks than he did but seemed to be unaffected.
The youth can’t die!
Right now, the mayor of Muhong City felt as though Mo Wen was undying. No matter how he tried to kill Mo Wen, he could not kill him. Even the most severe injuries dealt to Mo Wen would quickly recover.
How was that possible? This already defied the laws of the world and surpassed the law of nature. Could it be that a Tide Changing Realm cultivator would actually wear him, a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator, out to death?
Of course, the mayor of Muhong City did not know how fearsome the Celestial Body was. If he could not break through the limits of the Celestial Body, it would be forever impossible for him to kill Mo Wen. Heavenly path remarkable powers were that miraculous.
In the sky above, clouds gathered and loomed above. Lightning and gales kept howling nonstop, thrashing around the surroundings.
For the past few days of battle, Mo Wen had not used any other remarkable powers. Instead, he repeatedly used the Glory of Thunder, Glory of Wind, and Glory of Cloud. If it weren’t so, the mayor’s injuries would most likely be even more severe. He might even have already died at Mo Wen’s hands.
Mo Wen completely treated the mayor of Muhong City as a whetstone to polish his Seven Glorious Infernos.
As for the mayor of Muhong City, he had used all sorts of methods and techniques. As a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator, he had many trump cards and finishing moves. Alas, although he did not hesitate to shorten his lifespan and even used his own lifeforce, he still could not kill Mo Wen.
“Run!”
The mayor of Muhong City knew that if he continued to battle, he would certainly die at the hands of this youth. Against someone who was forever unkillable, the mayor had completely lost his fighting spirit. He spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood coagulated and did not spread. It was his natal blood.
The mayor’s natal blood twisted a few times and then suddenly exploded. Countless crimson shadows immediately appeared in the world. Each of these crimson shadows was the image of the mayor of Muhong City. Countless crimson shadows surrounded Mo Wen.
This was one of the mayor of Muhong City’s finishing moves. He had to use it together with his natal blood in order to unleash it. The cost was rather high. However, its might was also a sight to behold. Even a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator would not be able to escape from these crimson shadows in a short amount of time if surrounded.
The original body of the mayor of Muhong City became a beam of crimson flowing light and flew towards the ends of the oceans.
“Trying to escape now? Too late!”
A cold snort came from the mass of crimson shadows. The next moment, a beam of starlight shone in the heavens and the earth.
Right now, it was broad daylight. However, within a radius of 10 000 miles, it instantly became dark. Countless twinkling stars appeared in the sky above.
A beam of starlight shot up to the sky and directly crashed through the countless crimson shadows as easily as breaking through a sheet of thin paper.
“At the pinnacle of heaven and earth, may the stars shine upon you.”
Starlight instantly caught up to the mayor of Muhong City who was flying away. They appeared next to him in an instant like a glimmer of light.
Poof!
There was a dull sound and the figure of the mayor of Muhong City instantly froze in the sky. He did not move at all, as though time had frozen for him.
“You… how is it possible…”
The mayor’s eyes were wide open. They were filled with disbelief. On his skin, blood veins gradually grew out as though they were expanding. The area they covered grew larger and larger until they covered his entire body from head to toe.
In the end, with a loud bang, he shattered completely as though he was a piece of pottery.
Once the original body perished, the mayor of Muhong City’s five duplicates frantically dissipated. Ashes returned to ashes, dust returned to dust. In the end, the dignified mayor of Muhong City, a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator, died at the hands of a Tide Changing Realm cultivator. Even his Primordial Soul did not manage to escape, turning completely to dust along with his body.
The mayor of Muhong City most likely never even dreamt that he would end up like this. For many people, they would most likely find it hard to accept such an end. Even if Mo Wen could destroy the mayor’s body, his Primordial Soul should have been able to escape. However, that beam of starlight destroyed everything in an instant.
What power was that? It was so terrifying.
Mo Wen slowly wiped away the blood in the corner of his mouth. Unleashing his shot just now also took a huge toll on him. With his current levels of cultivation, he nearly could not sustain that technique. If his levels of cultivation were slightly lower, it would have been impossible for him to have unleashed it.
The Glory of Star! He finally comprehended the Glory of Star from the Seven Glorious Infernos. It was a seventh rank small path remarkable power, which was equivalent to the limits of small path remarkable powers.
If a cultivator with great attainment at the Supreme Profundity Realm unleashed it, he most likely would have no equal below the Divine Illusionary Realm.
Even if it was unleashed by a Tide Changing Realm cultivator, it could still easily kill a beginning stage Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator in one blow.
While battling the mayor of Muhong City for the past few days, Mo Wen was actually constantly trying to comprehend the Glory of Star. Under the high-pressure conditions of a life-and-death battle, he kept unleashing the three Glory techniques and became more and more familiar with them. Then, he managed to comprehend the Glory of Star.
Mo Wen managed to comprehend a seventh rank small path remarkable power while he was at the Tide Changing Realm. His comprehension ability could be considered rare in the world. After all, even if it was a beginning stage Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator, the chances of them cultivating the seventh rank small path remarkable power was still very slim.
With the mayor of Muhong City’s death, the entire world fell silent.
On Yingyun Island, everyone was looking at the sky, awaiting the final result.
However, when the result was revealed, many people were stunned. In the end, the one who had died was actually the mayor of Muhong City and he had been completely reduced to dust.
“Run!”
“Run! Run quickly!”
…
No one knew who started shouting. The next moment, tens of thousands of Muhong City cultivators began frenziedly escaping. They no longer had the will to fight. Even the lord mayor had died. Why would they continue fighting?
On the city walls, the Yingyun City cultivators were instead riled up. They were so excited that they could not speak.
“Kill!”
“Kill those b*st*rds…”
“That’s right. Kill them. Half of my relatives died at their hands.”
…
The city gate of Yingyun City opened wide and many cultivators swarmed out from the city, pursuing the Muhong City cultivators. They would not give up the opportunity to kick their enemy when they were down.
Among the tens of thousands of dispersing cultivators, a silhouette stood out especially. It far surpassed the rest of the crowd and was escaping towards the ocean in the distance.
The silhouette was none other than the Muhong City’s deputy mayor, the cultivator that was only second to the mayor in Muhong City.
“Humph, hold it right there.”
Mo Wen coldly snorted. With a flick of his wrist, the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear left his hand and became a bolt of lightning that instantly traversed empty space. It collided with the deputy mayor and caused his body to turn to dust. Only a Primordial Soul managed to escape. It looked at Mo Wen with a look of hatred and then prepared to continue escaping.
However, Mo Wen did not give him the chance to escape at all. The speed of a Primordial Soul was much faster than a body of flesh and blood. Once it managed to escape without any restrictions, it could actually escape from Mo Wen. Hence, Mo Wen had prepared for this. Just as the deputy mayor was preparing to unleash a secret technique to continue escaping, a huge lightning snake suddenly appeared before him and swallowed him in one gulp.
It was the Immemorial Heavenly Serpent’s residue soul that was contained within the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear.
Both mayors had died at his hands. Muhong City would no longer pose a threat to Yingyun City. Mo Wen also did not attack anymore. He walked in the air and returned to Yingyun City with a few dashes.
“Elder Brother Mo Wen, are you a member of the Immemorial Sorcerer Clan?” The Huai Clan second young mistress anxiously asked as she looked at Mo Wen who had just landed on the city wall. Her eyes were full of curiosity.
“Don’t be rude.”
Huai Hongxiu walked up to them and gave the Huai Clan second young mistress a fierce glare. The Huai Clan second young mistress stuck out her tongue but did not dare to speak anymore. However, she looked at Mo Wen with a gaze of reverence. The people in the Immortal Cultivation world worshipped strong practitioners. Mo Wen appeared to be one of those legendary strong practitioners. With Tide Changing Realm levels of cultivation, he managed to kill a Supreme Profundity Realm cultivator. He was a legend.
Moreover, this hero had saved the entire Yingyun City. If it weren’t for him, all their fates would have been wretched.
“Everyone in our Yingyun City will never forget this life-saving debt of yours. If you have any requests, Yingyun City will go to the ends of the earth to see it fulfilled. You are the savior of our Yingyun City. Please accept this bow from me.”
Huai Hongxiu knelt down with a solemn expression. As the dignified mayor, she actually knelt before Mo Wen in front of everyone in Yingyun City. She was not trying to flatter him, nor was she worshipping a strong practitioner. She was purely showing her gratitude. Such a debt of gratitude could not be expressed in words.
When the Yingyun City cultivators saw this, they also knelt down one by one. Even their mayor was kneeling there; how would they dare to not kneel? The Huai Clan second young mistress stuck out her tongue and also obediently knelt down. It was a heartfelt kneel that she did not resist. After all, Mo Wen basically gave them a second chance at life. He was no different from a parent. He was worthy of such a kneel.
