Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family-Chapter 176 - 172: A Refreshing Male Protagonist? Too Bad, I’m Here Today
Boom!
Boundless black flames surged from the large hand of Meng Hedong.
These flames condensed, then condensed again.
Compressed, then compressed further!
In an instant, Meng Hedong’s entire large hand transformed into a massive arm wrapped in black magma!
The flames, condensed and compressed into a liquid state, turned into viscous lava, continuously dripping from Meng Hedong’s large hand, creating deep pits one after another on the ground.
A terrifyingly intense aura of danger emanated from Meng Hedong’s hand.
"How is this possible...?!"
Li Ran’s pupils contracted wildly, an inconceivable expression surging on her beautiful face.
She asked herself [how could it be], just now her Mental Telekinesis had completely breached Meng Hedong’s Sea of Consciousness.
He should still be lost in illusions, how could he have awakened so quickly?!
"I’ve waited ten years for this battle; did you think I wouldn’t be prepared?"
Meng Hedong’s mouth curled with a faint sneer.
In the next moment.
"Flame Star Sky Burst!"
In an instant, the hand of Meng Hedong, flowing with black magma, clenched into a fist and punched hard towards Li Ran’s abdomen.
Boom—!!
Accompanied by an earth-shattering, heaven-shaking loud noise.
In an instant, Li Ran, as if struck by a massive hammer, bent her graceful body like a shrimp. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Explode!"
Meng Hedong uttered a low shout.
Boom, boom, boom!!
In an instant, countless flames crazily compressed and condensed on the magma-covered fist exploded!
This power was akin to a volcanic eruption!
At this moment, all this power exploded within Li Ran’s body!
Boom—!!
Li Ran was instantly sent flying backward, her originally immortal-like physical body now faintly showing signs of breaking.
She seemed to turn into a sack made of rough cloth, tracing an arc in the air, then crashing heavily toward the mountain gate.
"I’m sorry, but I must win this battle."
Meng Hedong glanced at Li Ran, retracted his fist, and lightly shook his head.
Hiss.
Just as Li Ran was about to crash into the pile of South and North Peaks disciples at the Celestial Wave Sacred Lands’ mountain gate.
Suddenly.
A figure clad in a white robe as pure as snow, slipped through the crowd at some unknown point in time.
Immediately.
A hand, with long fingers and clearly defined knuckles, as white as jade, reached out, gently encircling Li Ran’s waist, dissipating all the force from her body and pulling her into a warm embrace, stopping her fall.
In the next moment.
Li Ran felt a gentle and soft power emanating from that warm large hand enter her body, suppressing the violent Spiritual Qi within her.
Li Ran couldn’t help but lift her head to look up.
It was a face with deep-set eyes and a calm expression.
"...Junior Brother Xiao?" Li Ran lifted her head, stared at the face in a daze.
"Senior Sister, shall I take over?"
Chen Zhixing looked down at her face, which was as pale as gold paper, with all seven orifices bleeding profusely, and sighed lightly.
He could clearly sense that Li Ran’s injuries were severe at this moment.
Being a Divine Thought cultivator, her physical body was already relatively weak compared to others of the same realm, and under continuous blows, Li Ran was almost on the verge of collapse, holding on by sheer willpower.
"Remember? You said when I become stronger than you, I should take care of you." Chen Zhixing gently helped Li Ran up, a warm smile appearing on his face.
Li Ran stared dumbfounded at Chen Zhixing, her eyes gradually reddening, mist rising from them.
A warm current welled up within her.
For some reason, at this moment, she had the urge to cry.
"Junior Brother, do I look terrible like this...?" Li Ran bit her lower lip tightly, forcing herself not to cry.
Hearing this, Chen Zhixing didn’t reply but extended his hand, gently wiping the blood off Li Ran’s face with his thumb.
"Not ugly, not at all." Chen Zhixing said earnestly.
At the same time.
All the Celestial Wave disciples suddenly reacted.
"Junior Sister!!"
"Saintess!!!"
In an instant, countless Celestial Wave disciples, especially South Peak disciples, cried out in shock, their eyes red with anger.
Seeing their Saintess beaten like this at their door by someone in front of the crowd, how could they tolerate it?!
Compared to the wrath of the Celestial Wave disciples.
Outside the mountain gate, countless spontaneously assembled loose cultivators supporting Meng Hedong erupted in cheers.
"Hahaha, invincible!"
"Meng Tianjiao is invincible!!"
"Is this the Saintess of Celestial Wave Sacred Lands? So weak, so fragile!!"
"Looking across the East Profound Domain, who among the younger generation is a match for Meng Tianjiao?"
"Celestial Wave Saintess? Breaking engagement? Bah!"
"Meng Tianjiao truly deserves the title of the first genius of this generation!!"
"Serves her right! It’s what Li Ran deserves for being so dismissive back then, publicly breaking the engagement!"
"This is what’s called reaping what you sow! Hahaha!"
"After today, Meng Tianjiao will ascend to the top of the younger generation!"
Wave after wave of cheers rose like the tide, each louder than the last, eventually filling the air.
Little Poison Immortal couldn’t help but step out from the crowd, throwing herself into Meng Hedong’s arms.
"Brother Meng, you’re amazing!"
Little Poison Immortal looked up at Meng Hedong, her eyes, like crescent moons, full of admiration and infatuation.
"This is just the beginning,"
Meng Hedong smiled, gently tapping Little Poison Immortal’s cute, upturned nose.
In the next moment.
Meng Hedong lifted his head, looking at the Celestial Wave disciples, their faces full of anger, glaring at him.
The smile on his face gradually faded, and he spoke coldly:
"You don’t need to look at me like that; I’m merely returning what Li Ran gave me back to her."
Pausing for a moment.
Meng Hedong continued: "And I said, among the younger generation of Celestial Wave Sacred Lands, anyone who wants to stand up for her, I will take them all on."
"Or perhaps..."
Meng Hedong’s gaze swept over each Celestial Wave disciple’s face as he spoke calmly:
"You can all come at once, Meng Hedong will take you all on today!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Boom!!
A cerulean flame burst from Meng Hedong’s eyes, instantly enveloping him.
"Arrogance!"
"Rude!!"
"Audacious rogue, don’t be so arrogant!!"
"Come, let me see how strong you really are!!"
In an instant, every Celestial Wave disciple was furious beyond restraint.
Guann Tianyu’s expression turned cold, ready to step forward from the crowd to take action.
Watching this scene, Chen Zhixing couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.
This plot was all too familiar to him!
Isn’t this just like the main character’s moment in the popular novels he read in his past life, where the underdog rises up?
The underdog rises, defeating an entire sect, stepping over the Ancient Sacred Lands!
The surrounding people clap and cheer, as expected.
In the end, the main character’s name spreads throughout the world, shocked to the core, and attains the beauty.
A mighty Ancient Sacred Land reduced to mere background.
Coupled with the ’outrageous’, ’audacious’, ’rogue cease your arrogance’ kind of lines from Celestial Wave disciples.
Wow~ Isn’t this the perfect setup for a typical power fantasy climax?
One after another, building excitement through small climaxes, finally reaching a grand one.
"And after that, as the main character of the power fantasy, he becomes world-famous, awe-inspiring, winning the love interest."
Wave after wave of cheers rose like tides, one louder than the last, finally reaching a fever pitch.
Little Poison Immortal, the disciple of the South Peak, couldn’t hold back anymore and threw herself at Brother Meng.
"Brother Meng, you’re amazing!"
Little Poison Immortal raised her face to look at Meng Hedong, her eyes wide with admiration and awe.
"This is just a start."
Meng Hedong chuckled, reaching out to playfully tweak Little Poison Immortal’s dainty, upturned nose.
In one fell swoop, the envious South Peak disciples were left with their jaws on the floor.
"Ha! Invincible!"
"Meng Tianjiao is unstoppable!"
"And that was the Celestial Wave Saintess? Weak, weak, weak, no match at all!!"
"Look at the East Profound Domain, who among the younger generation can match Meng Tianjiao?"
"Celestial Wave Saintess? Calling off the engagement? Pah!"
"Meng Tianjiao deserves his name as the first genius of the age!!"
"Serves her right! That Li Ran deserves it! Who told her to look down on him and cancel the engagement in front of everyone?"
"This is what you call getting what you deserve! Hahaha!"
