Chapter 278: Chapter 156: Master Sighs Twice

Translator: 549690339

“My heart is as strong as iron, transcending sainthood and surpassing divinity. You are just an anomaly, incapable of shaking my spirit.” Liu Bai’s voice was resolute and his even will unyielding, but in the next moment, he was sent flying, coughing up fresh blood on the spot.

“Ant!” The voice of the Guizhang Octopus came out rather hoarse.

“The river descends from the heavens, releasing a deluge as vast as the Nine Heavens!” Liu Bai’s presence intensified, as if his sword strike induced a torrential downpour resembling the Milky Way falling upon the Guizhang Octopus. However, it merely raised its head, expelled something from its mouth and shattered the Sword Qi on impact.

“Ant!” The Guizhang Octopus sneered again, tinged with disdain and contempt for the weak.

“Undisputed under the Heavens, with a single sword strike that cuts through the Nine Heavens.” Liu Bai’s formidable Sword Skill teleported him instantly in front of the Guizhang Octopus. With a unreal quick strike, he severed two of the lengthy tentacles while the creature barely managed to evade.

However, the next moment, the severed tentacles abruptly exploded, turning into numerous vertical eyeballs that aimed at Liu Bai and unleashed rays of divine light.

Even Liu Bai’s determined will was befuddled by the chaos.

“Human, you’re only fit to be my meal. After consuming you, my strength will surely surge.” As the Guizhang Octopus spoke, one of its tentacles transformed into a long spear, piercing through the air.

It was aimed directly at Liu Bai’s forehead.

He simply couldn’t avoid this attack.

At this critical moment, Jiang Ming instantly teleported in front of Liu Bai, and with a punch that obliterated the incoming tentacle. The overwhelming power from the punch left the Guizhang Octopus shocked, it hastened to sever its own tentacle.

Before it could react, Jiang Ming had already reached atop its head, and simultaneously his Martial Arts Domain blanketed down. The Guizhang Octopus shivered, its immense strength seeming to break free, but momentarily it couldn’t.

It began to dematerialise.

Preparing itself to escape using a unique ability.

But, Jiang Ming wouldn’t give it the opportunity.

“Die!

II

With a punch, the Guizhang Octopus was blasted apart, turning into a cloud of blood. Jiang Ming frowned, as a flame shot out from his eyes, encapsulating the blood mist.

He felt a strange fluctuation.

The Guizhang Octopus had not been entirely killed.

Then, he must continue.

Sighing…

There seemed to be a faint sound of crying. Jiang Ming activated his Dharma Phase power, the Golden Crow unleashed the Fire of Taiyang, burning the blood mist and completely refining the remaining marks.

With a stretch of his hand, he seized the remaining blob of blood, stored it in his Space Ring.

“Thank you!” Liu Bai initially thought he was going to die but was startled when a powerful figure appeared in the nick of time and killed the Guizhang Octopus easily.

He saluted with a clench fist.

“Upon the Great Catastrophe’s arrival, it’s only natural that we support each other!” After saying this, Jiang Ming immediately departed, ascending to high altitude.

In the Nine Heavenly cloud layers, a terrifyingly fierce battle was in progress.

Master was blessed with an extraordinary power beyond the realms of possibility, but he could only hold the several hundred meters long Guizhang Octopus at bay without truly oppressing it.

“Terrifying…”

Feeling the might of the Guizhang Octopus, Jiang Ming gasped. Master’s voice echoed in his ears: “Kid, this creature is too strong, I may not kill it, but I can trap it for a year or two. Chang’an City is temporarily safe, you need to grow stronger as soon as possible. As for the world? Alas, I can’t care for that now. Grow stronger, strive to grow stronger. If you don’t, the world will collapse.”

Within his sigh, was the despair towards the fate bound to befall.

Jiang Ming saluted and felt a chill in his heart when he noticed a Guizhang Octopus in the distance looking towards him.

This one was even larger and more powerful than the one he just killed, even the Emperor Pino he previously slayed paled in comparison.

“Was the octopus I killed a common one, is this the Guizhang King?”

Jiang Ming pondered. Visions of horror filled his mind as if demons were whispering in his ears, causing nausea.

He was immediately on alert.

“A curse?”

Upon this thought, he instantly teleported away.

This one was an adversary he couldn’t handle at present.

Jiang Ming arrived outside the city wall and noticed Jun Mo, the Second Senior Brother of the Academy, standing with his sword, gazing outwards. Jun’s Sword Intention surged, his intent to battle high, he seemed eager to dive into the fray but was bound to guard the city.

Jun Mo turned to look at this side, and nodded.

Jiang Ming flew over directly. The large formation did not stop him. He landed on the city wall and asked, “What’s the situation in the city?”

“Stable.” Jun Mo’s tone was cold and expressionless, “Master Yan Se died in battle, perishing together with a giant octopus.”

Jiang Ming fell silent.

“The Master said, you… you are important and all possible conveniences should be given to you.” Jun Mo continued, “If you need anything, just say the word!”

“Alright!” Jiang Ming nodded, his figure flashed and he was back in Tianwu Manor in an instant.

Ren Tianxing and Yi Tianyan were still there.

The Mud Bodhisattva and his grandson hadn’t left either.

“Brother Jiang, how are things on the other side?” Ren Tianxing asked impatiently.

“Don’t worry, everyone is safe.” Jiang Ming reassured and then turned to the Mud Bodhisattva, “What about the future?”

He then turned to Yi Tianyan and asked, “Can you see the future?”

“The future has become unpredictable.” The Mud Bodhisattva replied gravely,

“The divine machinations are in chaos.”

“Destiny is dozing off, and the predetermined fate is also violently fluctuating.” Yi Tianyan, however, smiled and said, “Anything is possible. Either the world will be destroyed, or we will survive the Great Catastrophe.”

“Is there any difference between you saying this and you not saying it?” Jiang Ming retorted, less than pleased.

“I’m making precise predictions, not making blind guesses. The answers may be the same, but the nature is completely different.” Yi Tianyan was calm, “Brother Jiang, with your current strength, you probably can’t change the overall situation of the world, let alone manipulate it. Therefore, whether you’re here or not doesn’t make much of a difference. So, keep up with your Cultivation!”

Jiang Ming fell silent again.

He deeply understood that the outcome depended on the most powerful beings.

If the Master couldn’t defeat the Guizhang Emperor, then everything would become meaningless.

If he could defeat him, the worst-case scenario would be a period of chaos in the world.

“Alright then!” Jiang Ming nodded, “So are you going with me, or are you staying here?”

“As long as the Master is here, this place is the safest.” Yi Tianyan replied with a smile.

“Alright, I’ll go find Zhou Tian and the rest, you all stay safe and keep improving your abilities.” After Jiang Ming said this, he turned and left.

He felt a sense of urgency.

After saying goodbye to Jun Mo, Jiang Ming teleported and quickly arrived at the boundary of Xuankong Temple. He appeared next to Chen Bei.

At this moment, everyone was looking up because a bird had appeared above them.

The creature had a bird’s head and a human body, and its golden body was reflecting a charming glow under the sun.

“Golden Clan!” Luo Feng exclaimed, “The Golden Clan has many branches, such as the Golden Pikians, those with bird heads and human bodies. They are a breed even more powerful than the Golden Pike Clan. They’re inherently proud, but they feel a deep shame when other races casually call them ‘bird men’. Upon seeing people, they kill, and then eat.”

“How are things on your side?” After giving a brief explanation, Luo Feng turned to Jiang Ming and asked.

“Temporarily safe.” As Jiang Ming spoke, his figure suddenly vanished and reappeared behind the golden bird-man. The bird-man acted with extreme speed, turning its body abruptly to unleash a destructive storm at Jiang Ming.

Wind blades cut through the Void, trying to tear Jiang Ming into pieces.

“What sharp sensitivity.” Jiang Ming was taken aback, but he didn’t dodge. Instead, he pressed down with his Martial Arts Domain. At the same time, his Blood Qi surged around his body, his power was overwhelming, and he also activated the Heavenly Stars Protection Skill, just in case.

He stomped his foot heavily, and countless cracks spread out in the Void, obliterating many wind blades, but several still fell on his defence, causing intense fluctuations.

The Star Protection was torn apart, but Jiang Ming snapped his fingers to blast the wind blades.

“Sword of Souls!” Jiang Ming attacked without mercy. The moment a gleam flashed in his eyes, the golden bird-man cried out in pain, and then Jiang Ming stomped on it, smashing it into the ground and forming a deep pit.

Jun Qiuye quickly sealed it again in the blink of an eye.

“Bird-headed, human-bodied, truly worthy of being called a bird man.” Jun Qiuye took a careful look, then made a face.

“I am a noble golden flying fowl, and you humans, with your lowly bloodlines, are only fit to be our prey. Take a good look at my head, bird-headed and human-bodied. What does this tell you? It shows that we, the Golden Flying Fowls, are always superior to you humans.” The Golden Bird Man was extremely arrogant.

“Brother Chen, can you extract its memories?” Jiang Ming ignored it and turned to Chen Bei.

“I couldn’t before, but I can now.” Chen Bei grinned evilly, “Leave it to me. Let’s see where they came from, and if there are any powerful beings in their clan.”

While speaking, he swallowed the Golden Bird Man..
