Free Web NovelChapter 1674: Chapter 1291: Giving Pointers! Watching for Cues!
"Ding lang lang! -"
"Clang -"
As Wen Chouchou finished speaking, the trembling sound of metal clashing echoed from the entrance of the Martial Arts Arena.
The Ice Emperor and Divine Mother Luo Xian, both with fine gold shackles on their hands and feet, were escorted into the arena, appearing before thousands of gazes. Players began to stir upon seeing these two.
"After all this time, these two NPCs turned out to be traitors? What a pity, I thought they were sincerely defecting to our Mountain Village."
"I remember their strength was extremely strong, and even now they still represent extreme danger in black, probably at least above the Heavenly Human 5th Realm?"
"Most likely above the Heavenly Human 5th Realm. The village chief wants our village’s top ten experts to challenge these two and humiliate the Heavenly Gate? Can Ning and the others handle it?"
"Since the village chief arranged it this way, there must be a deeper meaning. I guess these two guys are in for bad luck!"
While the players were discussing, the Ice Emperor and Divine Mother Luo Xian had both walked into the arena, one with a cold and indifferent demeanor, the other arrogant in expression. They didn’t even glance at Ning Su and the other players, focusing their eyes solely on Jiang Dali.
Jiang Dali calmly looked at the two and said blandly, "Have you two been comfortable residing within our ranks? During this time, your Heavenly Gate Master still hasn’t come to rescue you, let alone barter for your release. It seems that despite your undying loyalty to Shakyamuni, he still doesn’t hold you in his heart. Isn’t this a case of being entrusted to the wrong person?"
Luo Xian’s cold eyes were indifferent as she spoke, "Master Jiang, why bother with such crude provocations to shake our resolve? The Divine Sovereign doesn’t come to rescue us because he knows you won’t really harm us. If that’s the case, why should he bother to rescue us?"
"Oh?"
Jiang Dali looked surprised for a moment, then burst into laughter, shaking the entire Martial Arts Arena as his laughter made the tables and teacups tremble and spill over, leaving everyone around with ringing ears and trembling hearts.
Suddenly, the laughter stopped, and Jiang Dali’s tiger-like eyes burst with two terrifying beams of light, covering the two. His murderous aura was severe and frosty, making them feel as if they had been thrown into an ice vault, struggling to breathe.
With a murderous look on his face, Jiang Dali said coldly, "It seems it’s been too long since I’ve dealt harshly with captives, causing you Martial World people to think I’m a kind-hearted person. Very well, today, I brought you two here because I want you Heavenly Gate experts to instruct our unskilled Mountain Village lads.
If you instruct them well, I’ll let you go, but if you don’t, hehehe, then there’s no need for you to stay."
The hearts of the Ice Emperor and Luo Xian turned cold, as they stared into Jiang Dali’s eyes that were filled with icy death, and even without spiritual sensing, they could feel his almost tangible murderous intent. This was no joke.
"Master Jiang! Before..."
The Ice Emperor frowned, just about to speak for a plea.
But Jiang Dali suddenly raised his hand to interrupt, then looked at Ning Su and the others, enunciating each word, "Perform well! Don’t disgrace the might of my Black Wind Village!"
"Yes!"
Ning Su and the other ten responded respectfully in unison.
The Ice Emperor and Luo Xian’s hearts sank; they were being forced into a corner. These two ducks were now essentially roasting over the fire; whether they end up roast duck or manage to shed a layer of feathers to escape depended on their performance.
The key is... what does it mean to instruct well, and what doesn’t? Jiang Dali didn’t specify, leaving them at a loss.
"Esteemed seniors, please give us your guidance!"
Without giving the Ice Emperor and Luo Xian more time to think, Ning Su already stepped forward as the leader, standing prominently in the arena, raising his longsword, and flicking the scabbard.
"Clang!"
The longsword seemed alive as it sprang from the scabbard.
The sword gleamed, and under the fiery light, a vortex pattern emerged faintly on its blade, clearly a famous weapon-grade treasure sword!
The other nine also joined the fray, surrounding the two from nine different positions, each cultivating and unleashing their momentum, creating an oppressive force aimed at the Ice Emperor and Luo Xian.
"Hmph!"
The Ice Emperor glanced around at everyone, his eyes flashing brilliantly. Suddenly his pupils turned completely white as if frozen, and he let out a cold laugh, "Do you kids think you’re worthy to clash with me, the Ice Emperor?"
Just as he finished speaking, with the last word "clash," it turned into overwhelming murderous intent, like thousands of troops and horses or Taishan Pressing directly toward the ten. The clothes of the ten fluttered violently from the Ice Emperor’s terrifying energy.
Amidst the clash of two massive momentum forces, the arena immediately filled with powerful energy flowing, and even the ground began to freeze with layers of frost from under the Ice Emperor’s feet, spreading toward Ning Su and the others, whose faces were already pale at first sight.
In the blink of an eye.
Ning Su and the other players suddenly found themselves taking damage from the icy Qi Force.
To the players watching from the sidelines, it appeared that just as Ning Su and others were forming a defensive stance, the Ice Emperor, without any warning, unleashed a powerful move, spreading a wave of Ice True Qi that not only froze everyone but also invaded their meridians.
The Ice Emperor, who is at the Heavenly Human 9th Realm, even with most of his power suppressed to only 30%, is still incredibly formidable, beyond what Ning Su and the players can easily resist.
But at that moment, Jiang Dali’s bronze-like face turned cold, his piercing gaze directly stabbing into the faces of the Ice Emperor and Luo Xian, causing them a burning pain on their skin.
The two felt an immense and ruthless pressure as if lightning and fire were clashing, coming from Jiang Dali’s gaze, causing them to breathe heavily and feel as if needles pricked them, now understanding Jiang Dali’s so-called "guidance."
"Damn it! Why don’t you just say you want us to yield instead of humiliating me, the Ice Emperor?"
Infuriated inside, the Ice Emperor’s body instinctively yielded, his gaze dimming instantly, sweat beading on his forehead, clearly showcasing the turmoil in his Inner Breath and taking a slight step back.
Beside him, Luo Xian was also angered but given the circumstances, she had no choice but to submit, watching Jiang Dali for his cues, while feigning injury and helplessness.
"Alright! They haven’t recovered from their injuries, and they just got injured again when they tried to recover. Although I, Hu Tianguang, am upright and disdain attacking the injured or women, the village chief’s orders must be obeyed. Kill!"
Hu Tianguang’s eyes brightened, he shouted, and leapt forward, his long sword danced like a Silver Dragon, carrying sharp streams of air, moving to strike the Ice Emperor.
Ning Su, dressed in a tight-fitting light blue samurai outfit, exuding spirit and vigor, also immediately shook his sword, and the others moved into action. Only Ping Shengaoqi stood with one hand hidden, seemingly an idle observer, but his Yin God was firmly locked onto the Ice Emperor and Luo Xian, ready to unleash a stunning Little Li’s Flying Knife at any moment.
"So that’s the case, these two bosses from Heavenly Gate are already hurt."
"This is worth watching now."
"This is a great chance to beat the drowning dogs, but too bad I can’t join the fight! Ah!"
"Stop it, Luo Xian is pretty attractive too, with a fantastic figure, I’m tempted to get up and defend her."
The surrounding Mountain Village players suddenly understood that the village chief had long planned this, and many began to record videos to upload to the Jianghu Forum.
...
Meanwhile, deep within the Heavenly Gate’s icy hall.
On an ice bed as if carved intricately from white jade, Shakyamuni sat cross-legged with his five hearts facing the sky, his beard resembling strands of coral-like ice sculpture hanging below his chin, his eyebrows frozen like candle wax tears between his brow.
At this moment, he was cultivating deep within the realm of ’the state of emptiness, preserving quietude’, gradually on the verge of recovering the mental state of the ’Seven No Absolute Realm’.
Once he reached that Heart Realm, he would be reckless and even if Wu Ming regained his power, he would dare to take down that unworthy descendant and the Black Wind Child, to pave the way back to the Martial World for Heavenly Gate!
At this point, he sensed his Heart Realm nearly restored, his body gradually recovering from the Turtle Breath Technique, his closed mouth and nose repeated breathing, his mind partially replaying various identities from his lifetime, forming the core of his confidence.
Suddenly, the images froze at the time he initially nurtured the Blood Transformation Divine Venerable.
In that moment, he unexpectedly grasped the Primordial Spirit of the Blood Transformation Divine Venerable, which had long severed its connection, filling him with joy.
"Hmph! Blood Transformation, throughout your life, you cannot escape my grasp, you! Are! Mine!"
Concentrating his intent, he abruptly opened his eyes, sending out eerie cold beams, as the instantaneous strengthening of his Primordial Spirit reestablished connection with the Blood Transformation Divine Venerable.
"Blood Transformation! I have returned! You must collaborate sincerely with me, and in future we shall..."
Before his consciousness fully transmitted through his Primordial Spirit to the Blood Transformation Divine Venerable, Shakyamuni was suddenly overwhelmed by shocking, bewildering, and furious information, causing an earth-shattering roar of anger!
"Blood!!! Transformation!!!"
