Chapter 492: Chapter 169: Arriving at Great Zhou Imperial City! The Rising Mushroom Cloud! (10,000-word Mega Chapter, Subscription Requested)_4
He had operated in Neihai County for over a decade. It took him all those years to painstakingly establish this place as a mature branch of the Blood Gu Sect.
And now, because of an outsider before him, everything had returned to square one.
His efforts over the past decade were all in vain.
Furious?
Impossible not to be!
A blazing anger always lingered in the old man’s chest.
Speaking with endless bitterness and resentment, he addressed Fan Wu, "Although I don’t know who you are, nor why you’re not afraid of the Blood Gu Sect,"
"Nor do I understand how someone as young as you possesses such terrifying cultivation. But... I’m no longer curious about any of it!"
The elder formed a strange hand gesture, and a vicious glint flashed through his eyes: "Even after taking the Gu God, I’m not your opponent, which truly surprised me."
"But that doesn’t mean you, a reckless troublemaker, can do as you wish within the Blood Gu Sect’s branch!"
"I can tell you want to kill me."
His eyes filled with murderous intent: "Coincidentally, I also want to kill you! So..."
"Let’s meet in the Netherworld!"
As the elder’s last words fell, the palms of his hands, which were forming the gesture, shockingly exploded open. However, it was not Fan Wu’s doing; the hands exploded by themselves.
Two empty arms.
Drenched in blood.
With a wild laugh, the elder bent down and fiercely stabbed his palmless arms into the ground! The arms were buried in the earth up to the elbows.
The blood from his body kept pouring into the ground beneath his feet, causing his body to shrivel up like a deflated ball.
"Hahahaha! Don’t think that the Blood Gu Sect’s Witch Gu Soul-Cleaving Formation can only control numerous Gu insects. This formation also has one last desperate move!"
The elder laughed menacingly: "You have five breaths left to run, but can you make it out?"
"Hahahaha!!!"
Splat—
As if something pierced through the flesh, a sudden noise sounded. Fan Wu, unbeknownst to the elder, had already appeared before him.
Just a single finger poked towards the elder’s head.
And punctured through his skull.
The finger penetrated the elder’s head.
The elder’s expression froze, but even as he faced imminent death, he managed to lift his head with stubborn willpower and stared directly at Fan Wu, his fingertip stained with blood.
In his final moments, his speech faltered: "Killing me... is... useless! You only have... two more... breaths! You... won’t escape!"
Fan Wu simply flicked his hand, flinging off the bloodstained on his fingertip.
He cracked a smile: "Why should I need to escape?"
"What...?" The elder desperately wanted to understand why Fan Wu was still so confidently complacent. Did this man not fear death? Was he unaware of what was about to happen?
Regrettably, these questions would remain unanswered for the elder, as his life had reached its end.
[You have successfully killed "Blood Gu Sect Branch Elder," congratulations on obtaining Free Attribute Points: 0.6!]
As the kill notification popped up.
The sky filled with blood-red light obscured Fan Wu’s vision, followed by a violent explosion!!
Boom—
An ear-deafening explosion resounded through the deep mountains of Neihai County. Thick dust billowed into the air, forming a mushroom cloud amidst the ranges.
The shockwave that swept outwards tore thatched huts to shreds and snapped large trees in the deep mountains at their trunks.
The grass on the ground was lifted several inches, and solid boulders were instantly pulverized by the blast wave.
Members of the Heavenly Inquiry Agency nearby changed their expressions drastically.
Because the visible shockwave was almost upon them.
All they could manage was to whip out a Protective Talisman before the shockwave smashed into them, accompanied by a barrage of flying trees, rocks, and earth!
One by one, the Heavenly Inquiry agents couldn’t withstand the head-on collision of the shockwave. They felt as though they were struck by a carriage and were sent flying backward for dozen steps.
The less fortunate agents were even hit harshly by the airborne stones and trees.
They immediately spat out blood.
And they were thrown haphazardly to the ground.
The Little Banner Officer of the Heavenly Inquiry was also unlucky. He had barely enough time to pull out a few Amulets to protect his body. Then, he watched helplessly as a stone bigger than his entire person flew towards him.
When the large stone made zero-distance contact with his body, the few Amulets he had were instantly incinerated to ash.
"Pff!!!"
The Little Banner Officer spat out a mouthful of blood. He crashed into a large tree, a dozen steps away, and even broke the tree’s trunk.
As he fell onto the muddy ground, it felt as if all his bones were about to fall apart.
"Cough, cough, cough..." The Little Banner Officer struggled with the pain emanating from all over his body.
