Chapter 601: Strange SOS
Chen’s intrusion into her private spots was sudden. No matter how hard Luo Puti tried, she could not stop herself moaning from pleasure. Her voice echoed throughout the silent room. Until…
“Hey… Let go of me…”
Luo Puti’s suddenly snapped out of it.
‘Oh my god! What was I doing?’
Luo Puti struggled hard but her petite body was too weak, so it was no use. She also could not bear to use her True Nirvana to attack him. Seeing that she had no other way, she sank her teeth into his shoulder.
“Ow! You-!”
Chen Xiaobei yelped in pain and he then finally stopped.
“Get off me now! Otherwise, I’ll beat you!” Luo Puti’s tone was very determined. After her mind was clear, she did not allow that to continue.
Chen Xiaobei was helpless. He almost succeeded in getting extremely intimate with Luo Puti. Who would have thought that she was that resistant.
Despite rejecting him, Luo had never once thought ill of Chen. To say that Chen was not in her heart was as impossible as the Sun would never rise. However, if it were other guys, she would have turned them into eunuchs before they could even slip under her shirt!
Saly, Chen Xiaobei’s raging fire of youth was doused by a pail of cold water at the “crucial” moment. As expected of Luo Puti as she had very strong willpower.
“Alright, I’m not going to force you.” Chen Xiaobei smiled lightly. “You’re my wife anyway and we’ll get there sooner or later.”
He planted another kiss on Luo Puti’s embarrassed face then reluctantly released her from his embrace.
After a long silence, Chen Xiaobei asked, “Tell me about it, what is your mission? Maybe I can help you!”
“I don’t want your help… ”
Luo Puti shook her head. “You helped me with reinforcing the ancient tomb of Yanhuang, find the Lin siblings, disrupt Poseidon’s plan, and now, you’ve helped me with breaking through cultivation… If I still need your help in this mission, the position of the chief inspector of The Six Doors should be yours!”
“Hey, you said that we’re husband and wife, so isn’t what’s mine yours as well? You can be a chief inspector in the district of The Six Doors, even if you want to be a god, I can put you up to it!” Chen Xiaobei said seriously.
“Would it kill you if you stopped putting up such a tough front?” Luo Puti said moodily, shooting a glare at Chen Xiaobei.
“Heh heh. You keep thinking that I’m pretending each time, but was there ever a moment where I’ve disappointed you?” Chen Xiaobei grinned and said, “I’m never pretentious! No matter what the situation is, I will use facts to prove that I’m amazing”
“Hmph! Let just see what are you really capable of!” Luo Puti pouted at first but smiled a little. Deep down she knew that she could not deny Chen Xiaobei’s words.
This man, who was three years younger than herself, looked as plain as the grassy plains of New Zealand, and sometimes could be as stupid as a plank! However, the things he said… the words that came out of his mouth could persuade even the cold-hearted Luo Puti! In fact, till this day, he had never let anyone down!
Just a few minutes ago, Luo Puti still thought that Chen Xiaobei was just boasting when he said that breaking through cultivation would be easy. But it turns out that Chen Xiaobei was not faking it at all! Not only was Luo Puti’s higher level of cultivation breakthrough was easy but it was easier than what she imagined it to be! It was incredible!
“Our mission is to go to Zhongzhou and capture the “Xiangxi Phantom Lord” in Jianghu!”
Luo Puti frowned. “This person is trying to raise evil spirits. He killed a lot of boys and girls to feed the spirits and his methods are extremely gruesome! It’s a deadline given by the higher-ups and we must seize him at all costs!”
“That scum! He deserves nothing but ten thousand deaths!” Chen Xiaobei had a cold expression and said, “I am going to to Zhongzhou as well so let’s go together tomorrow!”
“No, you can’t go!” Luo Puti decisively refused, “Xiangxi Phantom Lord is very strong. Please do not think that all he does is raising ghosts to do his bidding! With your current strength, you will only have a slim chance of surviving!”
“Aww. My wife cares so much for me, I’m touched.”
Chen Xiaobei’s heart was filled with warmth and said, “Don’t you worry, I will be doing my own business when I’m at Zhongzhou, I won’t intervene with your mission!”
“Really?” Luo Puti was doubtful as she arched an eyebrow. Chen Xiaobei was a restless character and it was hard to believe that he would not interfere with the mission.
“Of course it’s true.” Chen Xiaobei said, “Your strength has surpassed Huangfu Lengshan. It’s more than enough to be the chief inspector of The Six Doors. The mission wouldn’t be difficult for you so why would I have a chance to interfere?”
“Then that’s good, we will go together tomorrow. We will be on our own ways once we reach Zhongzhou!” Luo Puti did not refuse.
Zhong State, the core place of China. Hundreds of years ago, during the Tang Dynasty, this was where the ancient Silk Road started. It brought the exciting and old China’s culture to all over the world. Luo Yang, the capital of Zhong State played an important role in Wu Zetian’s history. During the crowning of Wu Zetian, she was given the title – Divine Holy Mother. On the other hand, Luo Yang was given the title – Divine City! After ruling near fifty years, the idea of clean politic was set as a foundation for Kaiyuan Flourishing Age. And, it was also known as the most glory and longest dynasty – Tang Dynasty!
This was also the most glorious chapter in the long history of China—The Tang Dynasty!
Without a doubt, the reincarnation of Wu Zetian was exactly the reason why Chen Xiaobei came to Zhongzhou.
So, once he got off the plane, he said goodbye to Luo Puti and directly called Li Yunlin, the richest man in Zhongzhou to arrange a car and some snacks.
“Any further would be the mountains… The car won’t be able to enter…”
Chen Xiaobei stopped at the roadside to collect the car and the snacks into the treasure chest.
At this time, it was near dusk and at first glance, in front was the old big mountain forest. The red sun set in the west and was shining brightly behind the large clouds.
The old mountain looked like the sea and the reflection of the sun made it look like blood!
“The chance is in this mountain. I have to hurry and finish my business so I can meet Luo Puti soon!”
Chen Xiaobei held the Bead Blood Amber Bracelet in his hand. The Spiritual Qi of the bracelet had been activated since the last time he was at the Song Dynasty.
Just like a magic tool, as long as Chen Xiaobei infuse with the Spiritual Qi, he could get a general direction of where he needed to be for an opportunity in life!
After that, Chen Xiaobei walked towards the foot of the mountain.
This mountain forest was a junction of two provinces. It has not been developed much in the past so the mountains were deserted and the terrain was so steep that an average person would not be able to go through it. Chen Xiaobei was different, with his current physical strength, he was faster than a car driving on the highway.
When the sky was completely dark, he was already deep in the mountains.
“Help! Help…”
At this moment, there was a child’s cry for help at the far end and since it was odd, he started trembling in the desolate forest!
The sky turned dark and the mountains were deep, this was not a good sign!
Coincidentally, the guidance of the bracelet was facing towards that direction!
“I can’t chicken out now. Since I’m already here, I’ll go over to take a look…”
Chen Xiaobei regained his composure and proceeded.
Chapter 602: The Palace Of The Dead
It was compplete darkness, and in that darkness, only the rays of moonlight that penetrated the treelines could barely illminate the extreme dimmed forest.
“Help… help…”
As he continued deeper into the forest, the sullen and helpless voice became clearer. The already unsettling atmosphere, accompanied by a gust of cold wind, those who have heard it would have goosebumps.
“An evil spirit?!”
Finally, Chen Xiaobei saw a strange shadow between two withered trees!
What he saw was a three-meter-tall black-faced evil spirit that was covered with blood. It also had white fangs protruding outside its mouth and a pair of razor sharp claws that dripped in blood. This spirit was chasing two other spirits!
The two spirits still retained their human forms, which proved that they were not controlled by evil thoughts. It was just like Wenyuan’s case the previous time, they were regular spirits!
The cries of help were from both of them.
“You can’t escape from my grasp! Be obedient and follow me back! Otherwise, your souls would disappear! Hahaha!”
The evil spirit’s movements were slow due to its gigantic body but it had enormous power.
Just like a bulldozer, the blood-sucking spirit waved its claws around in a frenzy. As the claws passed through, the big trees in the way were all cut down!
Ding!
[Cultivation: Four-star Evil Spirit, Health: Four-star Soul, Combat power: 10,000!]
Chen Xiaobei got an insight of the evil spirit’s strength by using his Netherspirit Battlescouter.
“Help… Help…” The two spirits were running for their lives. However, their general cultivation was not sufficient to throw off that evil spirit. In fact, it was getting closing the distance between them. It was only a matter of time that they would be caught!
“I-SEE-YOU.”
The evil spirit let out a roar and with its pair of huge claws, it caught up and grabbed the two spirits from their backs! It was like an eagle catching two tiny fish. Once in contact, it’s either left dead or wounded!
“They’re so doomed….”
The two little spirits screamed in desperation, they closed their eyes as they accepted their fate.
“Go ahead and run! Why won’t you run anymore? Hahaha… Pfft…”
Watching the evil spirit seemingly succeed and laugh triumphantly, it was not long before that laughter stopped! With a quick punch, followed by another, he hit the evil spirit’s head without a second thought.
Because of the huge amount of power, the evil spirit flew dozens of meters away.
“Ow… Pure… Pure Yang spirit… Ow…”
The evil spirit wailed in agony as it held onto its head with its claws.
There was white smoke came out puffing from the spot where Chen’s fist had landed. Like hot water to snow, the surrounding area started to melt away.
*Thud!*
Without hesitation, Chen Xiaobei stepped forward and punched the evil spirit’s head again. It transformed into white smoke then disappered! The four-star evil spirit with a combat power of ten thousand was useless in Chen Xiaobei’s presence. It was no surprise that it only took two punches to kill it!
“Get over here you two little guys!” Chen Xiaobei waved his hand from afar.
“Pure… Pure Yang spirit!”
The two little spirits pointed at Chen Xiaobei hands. Like cockroaches retreating into a dark corner, they did not dare to approach Chen.
“Oh, I almost forgot…” Chen Xiaobei came to sudden realization and took off the ring instantly, keeping it inside the treasure chest.
Fortunately, his Spiritual Qi was not absorbed by his ring, otherwise he would not have been able to take out that evil spirit. Although the treasure chest still had a Pure Yang Talisman Sword, it would be way too easy if he used that treasure to kill that evil spirit.
“Thank you very much kind savior! Thank you!”
The two spirits flew over and wandered around Chen Xiaobei.
“What are your names?” Chen Xiaobei asked.
“I’m Niu Niu, she’s Nyu Nyu.” A taller spirit who was a boy at an age of either five or six said.
Next to him was a petite one, a little girl of almost the same age. Such a cute girl, it was unfortunate that she died at such a young age. Alas, that was the cruelty of fate.
“What happened earlier? Why did that evil spirit want to catch you two?” Chen Xiaobei asked again.
“We escaped from the ‘Palace of the Dead’! That evil spirit was the guard and wanted to recapture us!” Niu Niu immediately answered.
“The Palace of the Dead? What’s that?” Chen Xiaobei was baffled.
“That is where the Phantom Lord is keeping us!” Niu Niu continued saying, “Besides Nyu Nyu and I, there are about forty-seven spirits that are just like us!”
“What?! There’s actually more?!” Chen Xiaobei was shocked.
‘The other kids are of the same age? And forty-nine were killed!’
Upon hearing this answer, Chen Xiaobei hairs stood on end, the feeling of dread in his heart.
‘Is the Phantom Lord that Niu Niu mentioned earlier the Xiangxi Phantom Lord that Luo Puti wanted to catch? If so, this person is truly twisted! Sinners must die!’
“Tell me, what does this Phantom Lord look like?” Chen Xiaobei heart was filled with rage but he reluctantly suppressed it and asked.
There was a hint of fear on Niu Niu’s face and he said, “The Phantom Lord is ten meters tall, he’s like a huge mountain! There are horns on his heads and his face is on his tummy! Also, his mouth is bigger than a person…”
“That’s not the Phantom Lord!”
At this time, Nyu Nyu suddenly interrupted Niu Niu’s words and whispered, “The monster we saw was only a spirit raised by the Phantom Lord! We’ve never actually seen the Phantom Lord!”
“How do you know?” Chen Xiaobei quickly asked.
“I once heard a strange sound, it was another person commanding the bull head spirit!” Nyu Nyu said.
Chen Xiaobei nodded, it seemed like the little girl was more attentive than the boy.
“That’s right!” Chen Xiaobei thought for a bit and asked again, “You two are not evil spirits, why weren’t you reincarnated after death?”
Niu Niu shook his head, he did not know.
Nyu Nyu explained, “The Phantom Lord placed a curse on our bodies so we can’t reincarnate. We can only be trapped in the Palace of the Dead.”
“So there’s such a thing like that!” As Chen Xiaobei listened, his rage grew.
Not only did that Phantom Lord killed forty-nine children, but also inflicted a vicious curse so that the children could not die in peace!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was a horrible act that would not be carried out by anyone with a conscience.
“Bring me to the Palace of the Dead! I will help you get your bodies back and remove the curse so you can be put to rest!” Chen Xiaobei commanded solemnly.
“Really? Then that’s great!” Niu Niu was delighted.
“No!” Nyu Nyu blocked him and strictly said, “The Phantom Lord is too powerful, our savior would be giving his life away!”
“Evil spirits deserve to die!”
Just then, there was a roar from the far end.
“Not good!”
Chen Xiaobei glanced over and waved them away. “The enemy is too powerful! You two run ahead first!”
Ding!
[Cultivation: Later phase of Qi refining stage, Health: 17000, Combat power: 17000!]
The Netherspirit Battlescouter signaled that strong enemies were coming!
Chapter 603: Framed
Chen ignited the Dragon Force inside and unleashed the full force of 12,000 combat power.
At the same time, he also used the Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Training to strengthen his combat power to 16,000!
It was obvious that the opponent’s strength and speed was better! The sudden attack was too fast for even Chen was unable to dodge in time.
*Thud*
After seveal attempts to dodge, Chen Xiaobei had finally switch to offence. He raised his fists and thrust them towards the enemy’s. Whent the two fists collided and the gap in strength was apparent!
After the sudden confrontation, Chen Xiaobei retreated a dozen steps, barely standing firm. His whole arm was bruised and it felt like his bones were broken!
Fortunately, during the previous cultivation practice, he devoted part of his time to practice the Emperor Health Ultimate Enhancement Skill, which raised his health to 16,000, otherwise, his fists would be destroyed!
“Eh? You got some power for a little kid!”
The man was in his thirties. He was wearing a black suit and carried a sword on his back.
His appearance was plain but there was a some sort of rune painted on his left eye, which was probably the reason why he could see the two little spirits!
“Neither one of us had wrong one another. Perhaps we could settle this misunderstading without a fight?” Chen Xiaobei asked, trying to stall for time. At the same time, he put his hand into his pocket and wanted to take out his phone.
At this moment, it was only possible to use the items in the treasure chest to reverse the situation.
“Cut the crap! I clearly saw you interacting with the evil spirit, is it still a misunderstanding? If I were you, I would obediently surrender so there would be less suffering!”
The man in black said coldly, then he took a step and rushed towards Chen Xiaobei again.
His True Qi changed, surging his combat power to 17,000. His fists, like cannons being launched towards Chen Xiaobei’s face, he was clearly trying to kill him!
He was underestimating and he did not give a chance for an explanation, he was truly ruthless!
“Lin Qisi! Stop!”
Chen Xiaobei was bracing himself for the hit as he heard a female voice. It was powerful, filled with authority.
“Puti!” Chen Xiaobei eyes lit up and his heart was full of excitement.
If that man in black named Lin Qisi was a member of Six Doors, then things would turn out good, at least this battle could be avoided.
However, Lin Qisi was obviously hesitant, he did not intend to obey and continued to charge towards Chen!
“Lin Qisi, as the chief inspector of Six Doors, I order you to stop! Don’t you dare disobey me!” Luo Puti shouted again, there was fury in her voice.
“Fine, I will stop! Acting chief inspector!” Although LinQisi stopped, his tone and attitude was rude. He emphasized the word ‘acting’ in a sarcastic tone.
There was no doubt that many members of Six Doors refused to accept Luo Puti.
Of course, if they served her, they would not have come to compete with Luo Puti for this mission.
“Xiaobei, are you okay?”
After that, Luo Puti rushed from the far end. There were many other people behind her. Each one of them was wearing a black suit and a cinnabar pattern on their left eye. These people were divided into three divisions, with small badges on their chests, which read ‘Hua Bei’, ‘Hua Nan’, and ‘Hua Xi’. That Lin Qisi earlier belonged to the ‘Hua Bei’ division.
“I’m fine…”
Chen Xiaobei shook his head while he pressed the acupuncture points on his arm to ease the pain as he observed the other guys.
“Shijie Luo, what’s going on here?”
At this time, a bald man came over.
His chest carried the badge ‘Hua Xi’.
Although he called Luo Puti ‘Shijie’, but he spoke in a haughty tone. His refusal to acknowledge her was written all over his face.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Highest peak of Training Qi, Health: 20000, Combat power: 20000 (+5000)!]
Using the Netherspirit Battlescouter, Chen Xiaobei wavered. This guy was strong and was a Half Step True Nirvana. Before Luo Puti have not break through her cultivation, he was not her opponent.From the looks of it, this bald guy was the most important person of Six Doors in
“He’s my friend.” Luo Puti coldly replied.
The bald guy nonchalantly asked, “Qisi, is that true?”
“Like hell it is!” Lin Qisi said, “I clearly saw this kid earlier in contact with evil spirits, I have reasons to believe that he is the Xiangxi Phantom Lord!”
“Do none of you have common sense?” Chen Xiaobei said angrily, “Those were only ordinary spirits, whereas evils spirits are completely diffferent entities!”
“Heh, as if the Xiangxi Phantom Lord wouldn’t summon regular spirits? Even if they’re only spirits, I can still have doubts that you’re one of the people from Xiangxi Phantom Lord!” Lin Qisi said with a sullen look.
“You’re only spitballing there!” Chen Xiaobei was furious. “I was here only a few minutes earlier,thr so called Phantom Lord was no where in sight, how could you think that I am one of his?”
Surprised, Lin Qisi sneered, “Oh, you’re being anxious, if you are innocent, why are you so worked up about it?”
“Is your head filled with shit? Why wouldn’t I be worked up about it when you’re accusing me of something that I had never done?” Chen Xiaobei’s temper was not to be messed with. He added, “Not only am I worked up about it, I want to slap you too!”
“What! You dare say my head is filled with shit! I-I’ll kill you!” Lin Qisi was furious.
“You dare!” Luo Puti said coldly and directly guarded Chen Xiaobei from the front.
“I-I wouldn’t dare.” Lin Qisi shrugged his shoulders and sneered, “But if Shijie Luo wants to abuse her power for personal reasons, shouldn’t you be asking the other three deputy chief inspectors first?”
Luo Puti eyed at them, especially towards the three people and said, “This is my friend, I can guarantee that he has nothing to do with the Xiangxi Phantom Lord!”
He was baffled, as Wang Poqiong from Hua Dong was the first to say, “Shijie Luo, this mission is important. One wrong move and we would fail! What I mean is, it’s better to get a thousand killed than to miss one!”
This time, two more people came from a distance. One of them had long hair with a cold look, it was Lin Nutao from Hua Xi!
Ding!
[Cultivation: Pinnacle stage of Qi refining phase, Health: 20000, Combat power: 20000 (+5000)!]
Chen Xiaobei glanced at him and found out that his strength was as high as Wang Poqiong, he was also Half Step True Nirvana. He was not to be underestimated!
“I agree with Brother Wang!”
Lin Nutao said in a deep voice, “Every nation has its own laws and every family has its own rules! Even if Shijie Luo is the acting chief inspector, she can’t protect her own friends and abandon the mission! This kid needs to be killed!”
Next to him was a man with a gentle look on his face, he was like a university professor, he’s Ouyang Jingxin from Hua Bei!
“I will not express anything on this matter. It’s up to you three to decide on this.” Ouyang Jingxin smiled a little, putting up airs like a gentleman.
Ding!
[Cultivation: …]
Chapter 604: Taking Pleasure in the Misfortune of Others
Ding!
[Cultivation: Pinnacle stage of Qi refining phase, Health: 20000, Combat power: 20,000 (+7000)!]
The Netherspirit Battlescouter immediately had an insight of Ouyang Jingxin’s cultivation. This guy’s combat power was higher than both Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao, but his actions speak otherwise.He was always smiling.
Under normal circumstances, Chen would have already judged him to be a peaceful scholar.However, under the current circumstances, Chen Xiaobei had to be cautious of this person!
Ouyang Jingxin came to the site, with the means and intent to fight. However, since his actions speak otherwise, it could only mean that he was there to watch the fight and reap the injured and claim the glory.
If Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao were truly his underlings, then Ouyang Jingxin was undoubtedly a hypocrite!
Since it had come to this, Chen had to be extremely wary of that man.
“Alright then, since Brother Ouyang has no opinion on the matter, then the majority wins! Kill this kid!” Wang Poqiong said coldly.
“I won’t let you kill him!” Luo Puti said firmly.
Alarmed, Lin Nutao continued to pressure, “Shijie Luo, you are the chief inspector of Six Doors and you have the responsibility to listen to the opinions of the deputy chief inspectors of our three divisions!”
Six Doors was divided into four, and the central division was Hua Dong, where the position of the chief inspector was at. Hua Nan, Hua Xi, and Hua Bei were the three divisions and each one had their own deputy chief inspector. Usually, major issues will be reviewed by the four divisions and the majority vote would determine the outcome.
Luo Puti was determined to stand her ground.
“And what if I don’t listen?”
Wang Poqiong licked his lips while looking at Luo Puti’s perfect figure. He smiled and said, “Hey, inspector of Six Doors, when did your heart start wavering? Just for the sake of a boy, you’re ignoring the rules and the judgment of the four divisions?”
Luo Puti’s expression did not change and her eyes revealed her coldness and said, “The rules are nothing! People have their own lives; I know that it’s not possible for my friend to be related to the Xiangxi Phantom Lord. Even if the sky falls, I will not let you all touch him!”
When her speech ended, Chen Xiaobei felt incredibly proud and happy. Although Luo Puti was cold most of the time and never was in a good mood for Chen Xiaobei, at that moment, it was obvious that Luo Puti cared most about Chen Xiaobei. As the saying goes, the truth is difficult to see! At a critical moment, even if it was only one sentence, it could also make someone happy.
Of course, some people would be irritated by this!
“Luo Puti! If you won’t listen to advise, don’t blame us for being hard on you!” Lin Nutao said.
“Heh, you finally said the truth.” Luo Puti glared and coldly said, “Wanting to kill my friend is just an act all along, you just want to show off your strength right?”
“Since you’ve refused to understand…”
Wang Poqiong smiled and said, “We are the people of Jianghu and we can never go against the iron rule of ‘The strongest shall be respected’! Some things are better decided with the fist!”
“Alright! Then let me test your fist!” Luo Puti was not afraid and positioned herself in front of the enemy.
Watching how she was, Lin Nutao sneered, “Luo Puti, we call you Shijie was merely a code of conduct! Do you really think that you’re that great? With your strength, three of us can take you down and you won’t stand a chance!”
After those words were uttered, the elites of the three major divisions in the distance laughed mockingly.
“Has Luo Puti become stupid? To rely on her cultivation and to dare challenge Wang and Lin, the two deputy chief inspectors? Shouldn’t she pack up and leave already?”
“God knows what she’s thinking. The three deputy chief inspectors had always rejected her position. If a battle broke out, she would definitely be beaten to the point of unable to continue her mission!”
“Heh, does it matter if she could even continue the mission? The final victory must belong to one of the three deputy chief inspectors!”
“Girls will be girls, it’s only right if they stay at home to breastfeed a child, it’s better than coming out to work, she’s clearly asking for trouble!”
“She should at least have someone to depend on if she wants to stay at home! Having such an incompetent pretty boy, no wonder she can’t help to come out and be hardworking!”
“How can Luo Puti look up to a boy, she must be blind!”
When the crowd was gossiping from a distance and mocking Luo Puti, they even brought Chen Xiaobei into it. Not only were the divisions strong, they did not respect Luo Puti!
Since it was expected that Luo Puti will renounce her position as the acting Chief Inspector, the crowd was merely trying to budge a bolder and let gravity do the rest; they were trying their hardest to provoke her.
Both Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao got excited as the crowd booed Luo Puti. They held their heads up high and waited for the moment when Luo Puti succumb to the crowd.
Ouyang Jingxin smiled wryly and tried to be persuasive. “Shijie Luo, you know what they mean. As long as you and your friend disappear, there would not be any trouble. If he stays, the only side that would be in trouble is you.”
Obviously, in the eyes of Ouyang Jingxin, Luo Puti and Chen Xiaobei were the weakest. He was hoping that Luo Puti took the bait, to abandon the mission and abandon her post. Those words sounded like good intentions but he was, in fact, fanning the flames to drive a wedge between them!
The underlying meaning of the words was obviously suggested that the people that were troubling Luo Puti were Wang Poaqiong and Lin Nutao. At the same time, he was also suggesting to Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao to not let her go if she refuses to give up her stance.
As the saying goes, to see things clearly, one sometimes would need to take a step back. In this situation, those that were not involved in the quarrel were the onlookers, and they were the ones that clearly understood the situation.
Luo Puti and the other members of Six Doors Organization had the habit of not listening to others. Or rather, they were born with a nature to fight instead of understanding. Chen, on the other hand, had a calm heart. He knew what was going on. Hence, he could read the atmosphere and understood Ouyang Jingxin’s true hidden intention.
Chen Xiaobei already anticipated what would happen, so his heart did not waver. He even felt like laughing!
“I will not give up this task! And I will not let my friend suffer in any harmful ways! Since you are in refusal against me, then speak with your fist!”
Luo Puti, unbudged from her stance refused to give up! Watching this, Chen Xiaobei cheerfully gave her a thumbs up, his wife was really domineering!
“That’s weird! Wasn’t Luo Puti known as the invincible? How can she make such a brainless decision?”
Wang Poqiong, with angry steam, said, “Since you refuse to be convinced! We don’t mind letting you see the big gap between you and us!”
“You take things too easily, don’t blame us if we beat someone to death!” Lin Nutao smiled disdainfully with his hands crossed, he had no intention of being involved in the fight.
“Don’t worry, I know when to stop.” Wang Poqiong broke into a smile and his entire body circulated with True Qi.
The thick True Qi surged, providing a boost to his power.
The crowd saw how the situation was unfolding and took the liberty to cheer. They knew that somehow, Luo Puti was doomed.
Chen Xiaobei, weirdly enough, was laughing along with the crowd. However, unlike the mass, his attention was not to Luo Puti. It was Wang Poqiong, and he knew that Wang was about to be defeated.
Chapter 605: Below True Nirvana
“Wang Poqiong’s Heavenly Palm!” Wang Poqiong let out a roar.
*Whoosh*
In an instant, the thick yellow smoke from the True Qi surged and rushed around Wang Poqiong, it then quickly gathered to form a huge 2-meter wide palm! Its form was solid and it contained combat power equivalent to 25,000. This was the so-called Half Step True Nirvana! Between the realm of Qi Refining Stage and the True Nirvana stage, his True Qi still had a long way to go. However, it was strong enough to cause harm! For this reason, as long as one achieved this “hidden” stage, one’s force would be enough to ignore the strength of his health and directly unleash the epitome of True Qi!
*Boom*
25,000 combat power, that was equivalent to a punch packed with 10,000 pounds of force! That giant palm was comparable to a hill that descended from the sky. Along with a crushing force, it fell on Luo Puti’s head!
“So strong! Not surprising with deputy chief inspector Wang! He’s one step away from True Nirvana and he’s the pride of Hua Nan! What an eye-opening experience.”
“Such strength should only be revered! Only a strong person can be qualified to lead Six Doors!”
“That’s right! We don’t want to be led by a woman! That’s too much!”
“Don’t worry! With those fists, Luo Puti will never be able to lead Six Doors!”
“Yes! She wouldn’t be able to that palm strike!”
Everyone was excited in the distance and were no longer whispering in low voices; they were not afraid of being heard by Luo Puti. In their eyes, Luo Puti had been defeated and there was no turning back! Lin Nutao and Ouyang Jingxin had a gleeful expression on their faces, they were like comfortably watching a movie.
Lin Qisi swept a cold glance at Chen Xiaobei, he raised his hand and made a slicing motion at his neck. He was indicating Chen Xiaobei that once Luo Puti’s defeated, this kid would be dead meat!
“Sorry for disappointing you lot!”
Luo Puti was covered in an extremely frigid atmosphere. The air around her condensed into tiny ice particle that glowed in a white hue. In the very next second, beautiful crystal-like ice shards were swirling and hovering around Luo Puti’s right hand! Waving her hand upwards, a dazzling arc was drawn in the night sky!
“What… What is going on?”
Startled, Wang Poqiong could not complete his sentence.
*Whoosh!*
The qi infused wind and air sped towards the giant palm and instantly destroying it! The thick yellow True Qi scattered in the surroundings. It only took one hit to destroy something that was so menacing.
“T-This is… True Nirvana!”Wang Poqion exclaimed in astonishment while his legs trembled, almost wetting himself.
Martial arts training was like climbing a stairway to heaven. The realm of True Nirvana was difficult for most people to achieve! Out of 10, only 8 or 9 people would fail to reach that level in their entire life!Once someone is standing on the realm of True Nirvana, they would be the pride of the world! It can also be said that those who were below True Nirvana were just like ants!
At this moment, Wang Poqiong’s eyes had completely changed. All negativity towards her were swept away. Instead, it was replaced with an incomparable fear! It was just like a mouse seeing a tiger, that it could be scared to death!
*Thud*
Without waiting for Wang Poqiong to react, Luo Puti had already landed a kick. It was only about sixty percent power but it was enough to crush him!
“Oof…”
With a trail of blood in the air, spat out by Wang Poqiong, the man was thrown off his feet. Like a meteor, he flew towards Lin Nutao and knocked him down.
“This bitch… is also too frightening…”
Lin Nutao’s pupils contracted and his heart tightened. Without wasting a single second, he immediately circulated his True Qi and wanted to catch Wang Poqiong. Instead, he was hit by Wang and was knocked down. It was beyond embarrassing!
At this moment, the crowd fell deadly silent. Everyone was thinking of the one truth of Jianghu—All those below True Nirvana were just ants!
Everyone that was present at the scene could gang up together yet they would still be nothing but ants in the face of Luo Puti.
“Who else stills dares to object me? Speak up!”
Luo Puti’s cold gaze was directed at the crowd. It was as though an iceberg had descended, causing a drop in temperature in the surroundings.
The remaining dozens of the three divisions were elite but they were frozen in place. It felt like they were enclosed in an ice cave for a year which left their bodies and minds frozen; even their souls was trembling! At this moment, if anyone dared to even speak up, it would be like reaching their hands down to a cesspit—an idiot! A big idiot!
“Luo… Shijie Luo…” Ouyang Jingxin gulped and asked respectfully, “Did you already pass through the realm of True Nirvana?”
“What if I did?” Luo Puti said coldly.
“Oh my god….”
Ouyang Jingxin breathed a bit of cold air and instinctively started flattering her, “Shijie Luo is really a talented genius! She broke through the realm of True Nirvana at just 24 years old! Even Liu Yiyi is hopeless! The most talented one who’s below the age of thirty in China has been replaced today! You have my admiration! You have all of my admiration!”
“Shijie Luo! We are in the wrong! We shouldn’t have offended you… We’re blind… We were possessed… I beg of you to forgive and forget… Please do not think of us badly…”
Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao were kneeling, apologizing desperately. Even if they were a thousand times bolder, they would not dare to challenge Luo Puti again!
Even the two of them were like this, the remaining elites of the three divisions were also frozen to the core!The negativity that they had expressed earlier became a sharp blade hanging over their hands. As long as Luo Puti wanted revenge, she could have their lives at any time! From that time onward, everyone was apologizing to Luo Puti, as if she was a goddess. The sincerity in their actions was undoubtedly true.
That is the nature of Jianghu. A fist is the greatest in Jianghu! The strongest shall be respected and the weakest shall kneel! In the face of absolute strength, no one would dare to stand up against.
“Hilarious, you were going to kill me! What are you doing there?” Chen Xiaobei smirked and did the same action of slicing his throat.
“Oh my god…” Lin Qisi was beginning to sweat, he bowed and said in a low voice, “Brother… I was only joking… Please don’t take it too seriously…”
“Joking? Alright, I’m joking too!”
Chen Xiaobei raised an eyebrow and walked over. He grabbed Lin Qisi’s hair and used his other hand to smash him arm, which produced a loud crack!
“Son of a bitch, this is for coming up to attack me without any hesitation! Not to mention the act of framing me falsely! After that, you wanted me dead! And you’re saying that you were only joking? I also like joking around! Go ahead! Make a joke again!”
Chen Xiaobei mustered all his strength and slapped him a few times to vent his anger! It looked like he was also enjoying himself!
“I-I was wrong… I won’t do it again…”
Lin Qisi’s head became as swollen as a pig’s. His strength was stronger than Chen Xiaobei but he dared not to resist. He was so ashamed that he wanted to die!
“Xiaobei.” When Luo Puti saw Chen Xiaobei venting, she said in a deep voice, “Don’t start a fight, we still have other matters to tend to.”
Chapter 606: Fight to the End
“Remember this, I’m not afraid if you want to joke around; I will fight to the end!” Chen Xiaobei backhanded Lin Qisi to the side and said coldly. In their eyes, Chen Xiaobei’s strength was not as strong as Lin Qisi; he was simply borrowing Luo Puti’s strength to frighten him.
“Qisi… Qisi…”
After watching Chen Xiaobei letting him go, the people of the Bei Dong division then ran over to Lin Qisi and picked him up. Judging from their behavior, it was apparent that Lin Qisi’s position was different from the rest of them.
However, Chen Xiaobei was completely ignorant of this. As long as Lin Qisi admitted that he was a wimp, Chen would be content. If he wanted to fool around, Chen Xiaobei would not give up on a fight!
“Shijie Luo… May I ask on how you managed to break through the cultivation? Did you happen to get an opportunity to?” This time, Ouyang Jingxin walked over, bowed, and asked in a low voice.
Hearing those words, Wang Poqiong who was still spitting out blood and Lin Nutao paid close attention, not wanting to miss out on anything. It was a known fact that the cultivation of these three was stuck at the pinnacle phase of the Qi Refining stage for over ten years. They dreamt of having the chance of breaking through. It was not just them, even Huangfu Lengshan from Six Doors exhausted his own abilities and had been searching for an opportunity to break through cultivation.
After all, it was something that they yearned to achieve.
“I did get the opportunity. However, the opportunity is only exclusive to me, you all don’t stand a chance!”
Luo Puti had an icy expression and it was like dousing a pail of cold water over their heads. The opportunity she had was very special and she did not want to share it with others.
Although Ouyang Jingxin and the three of them were disappointed, it was already expected. After all, these kind of things were rare; if they were in her position, they would not tell others as well.
Chen Xiaobei could only smile without saying anything upon seeing this. If these three jokers were willing to be his brothers, perhaps he would give them a bit of the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill for them to eat.
But after giving it some thought, the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill was limited; it was better if his loyal dog, Cang Jingku ate it. His good brother Xiangyu could eat it as well!
Currently, Xiangyu was already at the pinnacle phase of True Nirvana, he would only need half of the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill and he would then be able to break through cultivation.
Chen Xiaobei wondered what the next cultivation after True Nirvana. He was secretly determined that during their next encounter, he would give Xiangyu another pill and allow him to break through! In that way, excluding the parts that are consumed by Xiangyu and Cang Jingku, he would only be left with 3/10 of the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill.
If it was in the past, he could also bribe Elder Taishang with cigarettes for the pills, but the apocalyptic event was coming and the relationship among these three sages was a mystery. Although Elder Taishang was sandwiched between Yuanshi Tianzun and The Prime of Tongtian, in the end, he was still much closer to the Primeval Lord of Heaven. Hence, it would not be easy to obtain the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill if he requested for it again. In that case, Chen Xiaobei would have to keep the remainder for his own use.
“Alright! Let’s keep going!”
Luo Puti said solemnly, “Next, I hope that everyone will be united. We will reach the hideout of the Xiangxi Phantom Lord and then with our own abilities, we will have a fair competition to get rid of that cancerous tumor from our society! Don’t forget that you fight together, as well as the glory of yourself!”
“Yes, Commander!” Everyone shouted in unison not daring to fool around. The large group continued to move forward and marched deeper into the forest. After the crowd dispersed, Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti finally had the chance to have a private conversation.
“How did you come running here?” Luo Puti was curious from the very beginning.
“I was looking for a “fated opportunity” here.” Chen Xiaobei fully trusted Luo Puti, he rolled up his sleeves and revealed the bead bracelet on his wrist.
“What’s this?” Luo Puti asked.
“This is an instrument to sense Spiritual Qi when your hands are placed on it.” Chen Xiaobei replied.
Luo Puti did the same and held onto Chen Xiaobei’s wrist. She immediately had a connection with the Spiritual Qi of the bead bracelet. With its mysterious power, it directed her forward.
“This is too much of a coincidence… We have previously investigated the hideout of the Xiangxi Phantom Lord which is also in this direction!” Luo Puti exclaimed.
“This is the fate we have between us!” Chen Xiaobei grinned and moved Luo Puti’s hands down to hold his palm.
“Let go! What if someone around sees us?” Luo Puti was anxious and quickly let go of her hand.
“What’s there to be afraid of? You showed off your strength to them earlier. If anyone dares to gossip about you, I’ll respect him as a real man for doing so!” Chen Xiaobei said while shrugging.
Luo Puti bit her beautiful lips and whispered, “This time, it’s thanks to you that I was able to stand up for myself in front of them! As long Xiangxi Phantom Lord is caught, anyone in Six Doors won’t deny me anymore!”
“My help is only secondary. The main point is that my wife is smart!”
Chen Xiaobei gleefully said, “You have been hiding your strength until you exposed it all out earlier! You scared those bunch of kids that they wet themselves! That’s called showing off your strength!”
“Who are you calling your wife! Don’t chatter with me too much! If anyone hears this, you and I are through!” Although Luo Puti sounded furious, obvious joy was seen in her eyes. Obviously, Chen Xiaobei’s compliment was very effective.
“But, don’t be too happy now.”
Chen Xiaobei turned around and said, “Those three guys are not to be underestimated. Your strength is now exposed but they have not given up yet! This means that they will definitely come up with a plan!”
“I know.”
Luo Puti nodded and said, “When Huangfu Lengshan was still in power last year, the three of them were already itching to give it a try. After more than ten years, I finally saw this opportunity and I will definitely fight for it!”
“Okay, you already know this well. Just be cautious and there shouldn’t be a problem.” Chen Xiaobei replied.
“My concern is you!” Luo Puti frowned and said, “If they choose to target you, you’ll be the one in trouble!”
Looking at Luo Puti’s worried pretty face, Chen Xiaobei could not help but have a warm feeling. He gleefully said, “My wife, you look so adorable, come and give me a kiss!”
“There’s no way I’ll kiss you! Not even in a million years! Go away!” Luo Puti quickly dodged.
Behind them, the three guys were walking side by side. They were giving cold stares at Chen Xiaobei and Luo Puti.
“F*ck! That pretty boy who only relies on a girl, he dared to beat me up like that! I will butcher him into millions of pieces!” Lin Qisi gritted his teeth in anger.
All this while he was growing up, it was his first time being slapped in the face, to the point his head was just like a pig. He craved revenge for this!
“What’s the use of saying it? With Luo Puti around, we can’t do anything to that kid!” Wang Poqiong said with a sullen look.
“I might have an idea.” At this moment, Ouyang Jingxin approached from the side.
Chapter 607: The Infernal Voodoo
“Brother Ouyang, do you have a better plan?” Lin Nutao asked solemnly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWang Poqiong and Lin Qisi kept their ears open. Ouyang Jingxin, who had the look of a sophisticated scholar nonchalantly said, “Luo Puti already has the upper hand! As long as we work together, we will have a chance to defeat her!”
“Right… Even so, if we did join forces, our opponent is not Luo Puti!” Wang Poqiong furrowed his brows.
“Of course we can’t just use brute force, we have to rely on our wisdom as well!” Ouyang Jingxin said, “We can’t go around Luo Puti’s sharp mind but that pretty boy is her weak spot!”
“Right!” Lin Qisi exclaimed excitedly. “That kid’s cultivation is nothing compared to mine! As long as we capture him, we can use him to threaten Luo Puti and this simplifies everything!”
“Good idea! We’ll go with this plan then!” Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao both nodded in agreement.
“No… You both only got it half correct!”
Ouyang Jingxin shook his head and said, “We will catch that pretty boy but we are not going to do it now. Instead, we will do it after Xiangxi Phantom Lord is captured!”
“I understand!” Lin Nutao came to a realization and said, “We’ll let Luo Puti capture that swine first and when her guard is down, we’ll capture that pretty boy and force her to hand over the fruit of victory!”
“Wonderful!” Wang Poqiong smiled menacingly and said, “This way, we can reap the benefits without putting in much effort!”
“Splendid!”
Lin Qisi maliciously said, “By that time, we’ll snatch the Xiangxi Phantom Lord first then we’ll be hostile and not return that pretty boy back to Luo Puti! We’ll force her down to the ground and feast on her! After we are satisfied, we’ll kill both of them! Hehe…”
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Jingxin had a half-smile on his face and gave a thumbs up. “Our noble Lin really likes inflicting pain on others, you really are frightening!”
“Hehe. Brother Ouyang, you have won the prize! You and I are partners. We’re both wicked and we’re not ashamed of this; no one is to blame for our mistakes!” Lin Qisi smiled wryly and said, “After it’s done, I’ll let you be the first to hit that woman!”
“You are too kind. Well then, I will not reject your offer!” Ouyang Jingxin had a small smile on his seemingly gentle face but his eyes had a wicked glint. Both Wang Poqiong and Lin Nutao had nasty grins on their faces after hearing that as well.
“Everyone, look here! What’s this?” At this moment, there was a loud exclamation from afar. Everyone quickly gathered at the place.
It was a huge rock, blazing in green flames. It was as big as a coin and the night sky made it stood out more clearly!
“Isn’t that just luminous light? What’s the big fuss?” Lin Qisi dismissed it.
Usually, when the bodies of humans or animals decompose, it would be converted into phosphine. When combusted spontaneously in the air, this gas would become fluorescent light. It was also called the will-o’-the-wisp by those who were superstitious. This phenomenon was very common in the wild and at times, a swarm of fireflies would even appear at the scene!
However, in the next second, Lin Qisi had a slap to his face!
“Buzz…”
Suddenly, that group of will-o’-the-wisp were floating in the air and a beetle could faintly be seen in the center. It was flapping its wings and the buzzing sounds from it could be heard clearly!
“T-that beetle is on fire?!”
“F*ck! This is too mystical! We have discovered a new species!”
“Catch it quickly! This bug is still alive!”
The crowd’s curiosity was piqued; they wanted to catch the beetle to observe it.
“That’s not a beetle! Stay away from it if you don’t want to die!”
At this moment, Chen Xiaobei was frowning and warned, “That is powerful voodoo—You will die!”
“Isn’t that just a plaything? Voodoo?”
The baffled crowd burst out laughing.
“Have you been reading too much fiction, kid? How is there voodoo in this world?”
“Kill us? You really know how to bullshit!”
“Even if it is true, we’re elites of Six Doors. If we’re not afraid of anything, how can we be afraid of a tiny bug?”
“That’s right, watch me as I catch it!”
The crowd did not take Chen Xiaobei’s words seriously. They were belittling this pretty boy, Chen Xiaobei who only relied on Luo Puti.
As the crowd settled down, a big-sized man moved forward and used the rock for his footing to jump a few meters high and catch that burning beetle. That man’s cultivation was not weak; he had about fifteen thousand combat power before the Qi Refining phase. Without hesitation, he caught the burning beetle at lightning speed.
“Caught it! Haha!”
That guy had a satisfied smile as he landed back on the ground. He also leered at Chen Xiaobei. “Is this an infernal voodoo? Hmph! You’re just pretending to know what you don’t!”
“I will say it for the last time, if you don’t want to die, get away from that thing!” Although Chen Xiaobei’s expression was unreadable, he pulled Luo Puti several meters away.
Chen Xiaobei was already familiar with Taiyin True Deity’s “Beginner’s Art of Anti-Curse” and thus was not mistaken about it. However, that man did not take Chen Xiaobei’s advice seriously. He smiled confidently.
“This flame doesn’t even burn my hand. If I’m not wrong, this is probably similar to a firefly! Do you have the slightest common sense? And you’re still pretending to be a know-it-all? Truly hilarious…”
*Thud!*
The beetle that was held in that guy’s hands suddenly made a muffled sound! Then, the green flames spread to his arm and burned vigorously. Within a blink of an eye, his entire palm turned into ash and scattered to the wind! What was more frightening was that there were countless luminous green sparks flying everywhere around that guy’s face. His whole body was set on fire!
It took only a few seconds for that lively strong person that was in the last phase of Qi Refining stage, to be reduced to ash. The night’s wind dispersed the ash to the surroundings, as though erasing the person’s existence completely.
“My… My God…”
The crowd that was more than eager to mock Chen Xiaobei earlier now looked like fools, all frozen in place. The timid ones almost peed their pants. Even the three deputy inspectors had never seen or heard of such a bizarre thing during their ten-year stint in Jianghu!
“Xiaobei, what is going on here?”
Luo Puti was badly shaken. Although she was powerful, she had no idea what Voodoo was. If Chen Xiaobei did not pull her aside, she would have caught that bug to have a closer look at it! If so, she would be the one reduced to ash!
Meanwhile, everyone around them had the same bewildered expression as Luo Puti. Moments ago, they were mocking Chen Xiaobei’s words, but were now afraid of whatever Chen Xiaobei would say!
Chapter 608: Mysterious Flames in the Sky
“Inferno. As the name suggests, whether it’s a human or a beast, anything that comes in contact with this mysterious fire would be set ablaze instantly and turn to ash! But this mysterious fire wouldn’t burn any rocks or plants. These are raised by witches and they are used to guard important places in the forest! In other words, Xiangxi Phantom Lord’s hideout must be getting close. Besides raising spirits, he must have also specializes in voodoo! At the very least, he’s proficient in breeding these beetles! In other words, we may encounter more of these hexes as we proceed.
“If you bump into any of them again, remember not to provoke them! Once they detonate, you must ensure you are nowhere near the flames. I’m sure you’re all familiar with the consequences of being in contact with the flames by now.” Chen Xiaobei carefully explained what he knew about the situation.
Everyone heeded the words, bearing them in mind. This kind of lesser known valuable experience could often save lives at crucial moments! Most of them felt grateful towards Chen Xiaobei’s advice, changing their perception of him as well.
Of course, those four guys who wanted to set a death trap to Chen Xiaobei were not shaken. Not only were they ungrateful, they turned more hostile towards him!
“Okay! Let’s keep moving!”
Luo Puti commanded them in a loud voice, “Now that we’re already getting closer to the hideout of Xiangxi Phantom Lord, we shouldn’t be separated anymore. We all have to be aware as this is not a drill!”
The divisions were vigilant; all ready for combat and assembled. As they proceeded, the atmosphere was surprisingly calm and uneventful.
After a while, they stumbled upon a door built on a stone wall. Judging from the erosion by the wind and frost, the stone door was estimated to be hundreds of years old.
“I’m going to take a look.”
Lin Nutao impatiently stepped forward.
He was no fool. Making use of his training experience in Jianghu, he observed the door for a moment. After deciding that there was no danger, he slowly approached the side of the stone gate.
He was absolutely not a foolhardy boorish person. He used his experiences of training in Jianghu first. After observing it for a few times and confirmed that there was no danger, he then slowly approached the side of the stone gate. He stretched his arm to push it twice but the stone door did not budge.
*Boom!*
Lin Nutao calmed down and concentrated his True Qi in his palm and pushed it forward! His tremendous strength caused the door to collapse and shake the mountains.
“What are you doing?!” demanded Chen Xiaobei who was shocked.
“Are you blind? Can’t you see that I’m opening this door?” Lin Nutao responded nonchalantly.
“I’ve said it earlier, remember not to provoke the Infernal Flying Beetle! You made such a loud commotion, as though you’re seeking death!”
Anxious, Chen Xiaobei was on high alert looking around as he shielded Luo Puti behind him.
“Heh, after identifying some voodoo bug you think you’re the greatest?” Lin Nutao smiled scornfully. “I’ve been walking in Jianghu for a decade and I recognize all kinds of traps. I’ve never missed a sight of those traps. If there’s danger, I would already have discovered it first!”
“That’s right!” Lin Qisi quickly boasted, “Earlier, when Shixiong Lin went to Demonic Tribe’s Thousand Traps Temple alone, he managed to went through hundreds of trap, unharmed. In the end, the elder of Demonic Tribe was captured alive! As compared to Thousand Traps Temple, this cave is nothing!
Hearing all that, Chen Xiaobei was not relieved. He sternly said, “As I said earlier, those Infernal Flying Beetles specializes in guarding important places! Since that door was easily broken, this proves that we are surrounded by dozens of those Infernal Flying Beetles in hiding!”
“Tsk!” Wang Poqiong glared at Chen Xiaobei then put on a fake smile. “Everyone has eyes, if there is such a thing of that flaming beetle, can it still not be seen? I only see a know-it-all in front of me who is begging to get everyone to respect him!”
“I’m acting like I know everything? Well, that’s the least of my concern. I’m afraid that you wouldn’t know when you will die!” Chen Xiaobei blinked and immediately opened his clairvoyant eyes! Since there was no abnormality seen on the surface, the danger must be hidden in the dark!
With a false smile, Ouyang Jingxin said, “Young one, you really don’t have to be too nervous! Brother Lin is always super sensitive to danger and his judgments are not wrong! What’s more, those cursed bugs may be from another place, it’s not certain that Xiangxi Phantom Lord raised them.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. They all believed in Lin Nutao’s experience and thought that Chen Xiaobei was overreacting.
Luo Puti could not help but whispered, “Xiaobei, aren’t you a little too agitated? I don’t sense any danger either…”
“Run!” Chen Xiaobei bellowed after Luo Puti finished her sentence.
“Buzz…”
The next moment, there was a burst of buzzing sounds and within a radius of ten meters, the entire place was lit up!
“Good grief… That kind of voodoo bug… They were actually hiding beneath the ground…”
Within this brief period, everyone was screaming in terror; their bodies trembling with fear and shivers sent down their spines! Despite their fear, no one froze in this deadly crisis!
“Whizz! Whizz! Whizz… Buzz….”
As the buzzing sound grew louder, there were countless Infernal Flying Beetles rushing out of the ground and flying towards them! Flying in the starry night sky then surrounding the crowd, the entire area glowed lime green.
“We’re dead… I should have listened to that kid earlier… We are all going to die…”
Everyone howled fearfully. When they thought about the guy who was reduced to ash, they fell into despair! Thinking about Chen Xiaobei’s warning made them regret as well.
“Don’t just stand around! Everyone squat behind me!”
At this time, Chen Xiaobei was the only one that remained calm. There were countless of those Infernal Flying Beetles around and it was impossible to rush out of their encirclement. One could only hope for the best in a situation like this.
“Squat behind you? Who do you think you are? I don’t want to die!”
Some of them collapsed and some have already lost their sanity, all of them desperately wanted to break out of the encirclement.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
Those who had not even moved yet already bumped into those Infernal Flying Beetles, reduced to ash instantly!
“Xiaobei! Do you really have a plan?” Luo Puti asked anxiously, her heart pounding.
“Hurry up and squat!” Chen Xiaobei had no time to explain and was busy fumbling around his body.
“Buzz…”
Along with the ferocious buzzing, countless Infernal Flying Beetles had adjusted their position and were ready to launch a full-scale assault towards the crowd!
“Everyone! Do it now!”
Luo Puti trusted Chen Xiaobei completely and also, there were no options left in this situation! Dozens of people had already gone insane trying to get out of the desperate situation. They instinctively hid behind Chen Xiaobei, squatting obediently!
“Xiaobei! The lives of these people are in your hands now!”
Watching how the mysterious green flames in the sky were about to come crashing down, this was everyone’s only hope.
Chen Xiaobei threw something into the air and shouted.
“Everyone, kneel down now!”
Chapter 609: Conquering the Infernal Flying Beetles
“What? Kneel down?”
Everyone was confused as they completely did not understand what Chen Xiaobei meant. Did he mean squatting? Why did it turn to kneeling? However at this moment, death was rapidly approaching so almost half of them knelt without a second thought. Lin Qisi who was acting all high and mighty earlier was grovelling in fear, almost wetting himself.
Suddenly, a mysterious occurrence happened, astonishing everyone! A dazzling golden glow was emitted from Chen Xiaobei’s raised hand. The mysterious green flames in the sky that were originally about to come crashing down and burn everyone to ash froze, suspended in mid-air after the golden shimmer appeared!
Through the mysterious green flames, everyone could see clearly that the golden shimmer was actually a golden beetle! It looked like it was clad in golden armor and that golden bug had sharp angular edges around its body. Although it was only a size of a coin, it was ferocious!
“Roar!”
The golden bug aggressively bared its hook-like fangs. Despite its small body, it was capable of producing such a thunderous roar! At the same time, the golden shimmer flew into the air as it was being set on fire. It put on a fierce look and this was the phantom of the Twelve Wings Golden Cicada! Its tiny body contradicts its intense powerful roar.
“Wow… Such a frightening insect…”
Everyone gasped in shock; their hearts raced and their pupils dilated. Both strong-willed and weak-willed were breathing heavily, their foreheads covered with sweat. To think that these elites of Six Doors were mystified by a tiny golden bug! It was simply unimaginable. Chen Xiaobei’s command to kneel was not directed at the crowd but to the mysterious green flames in the sky!
*Buzz
