Stranger Danger-Chapter 1284: Shouting Back The Divine Sovereign With Two Words

“The Earthly Sovereign Bell will be mine any moment now.”

Right now, waving his flag and calling out Ye Qing’s name, the Mind Calling Divine Sovereign could somehow feel Ye Qing’s mind and energies. He just needed to push a little harder, and the young man’s mind would be his, and so would the Earthly Sovereign Bell.

This was a critical moment though, so he kept a tight lid on his emotions and worked even harder to ensure that the ritual was perfect.

It was at this moment he heard the command, “Get lost!”

A wave of fear and unease washed over him for an instant, and the next thing he knew, his Mind Calling Flag abruptly burst into flames, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth.

“How could this be?”

The Mind Calling Divine Sovereign staggered on his feet and the blood drained away from his face. He was reacting like this because his Great Mind Calling Art was broken, and he was suffering from the backlash.

He was given no time to think though. The next moment, a terrible fear caught his heart in a stranglehold, and a thunderclap erupted in the sky above his head. The wind accelerated into a gale blew as the world trembled beneath its fury.

Slowly, the rumbling, disorderly noises condensed into a single roar. Then, it exploded right inside the Mind Calling Divine Sovereign’s headspace.

“Get lost!”

At that moment, the Mind Calling Divine Sovereign’s mental defenses crumbled, and his headspace exploded into bits. His yang god also became tiny and feeble like a candle flame about to be blown out by the wind.

A rumble and a bloodcurdling scream followed next. It was because the Mind Calling Divine Sovereign’s bonded Strange Artifact had suddenly exploded, and since he was standing right on top of it, he was severely mutilated and flung into the distance.

At the same time, the civilians surrounding the altar collapsed in unison, and the soul fragments implanted inside their minds disintegrated into nothing.

At the same time, a wisp of dark light flew out of the Mind Calling Divine Sovereign’s head and toward the distance, screaming in pain the entire way.

The dark light was none other than the Mind Calling Divine Sovereign’s yang god—what was left of it, at least.

He was lucky. If he hadn’t escaped quickly and decisively, his yang god would have evaporated entirely.

“What a monster!”

Right now, there was only fear in the Mind Calling Divine Sovereign’s heart. He could think of nothing else but escape.

However, right after the remnant of his yang god flew out of the town, a gigantic hand that seemed to be weaved from four colors appeared out of nowhere and caught it in a death grip.

“Who are you?!” The Mind Calling Divine Sovereign cried in shock and anger.

“They say that a busy man is often forgetful! It looks like it’s true in your case!”

A gloomy-looking man wearing a black robe slowly removed his hood to reveal an old and terribly pale face. He then asked, “Remember me now?”

The Mind Calling Divine Sovereign cried out, “It’s you, Four Symbols Inferior? You’re still alive?” freewebnσvel.cѳm

“Hahaha! You remember me after all!” Four Symbols Inferior let out a strange cackle before snarling hatefully, “How can I die when you are still alive? I swore to drag you to hell with me if it’s the last thing I do!”

“Hahahahahaha!”

“Mercy! Forgive me! Mercy!” The Mind Calling Divine Sovereign begged.

“Mercy?”

Four Symbols Inferior laughed in the Mind Calling Divine Sovereign’s face as if he heard a joke. “Do you know how long I’ve waited for this moment? Eleven years. Do you know how I’ve led this eleven years? I fought dogs for scraps of food. I was beaten and humiliated. I had to hide everywhere to avoid my pursuers. My wife and children left me. My family spurned me. As if that’s not enough, I had to endure the tearing pain of my mind ripping into pieces and dissipating every day.”

“And yet, I am still alive. Do you know why? Because I’ve been waiting for this moment! For revenge!”

“After all I have endured, do you seriously think I’ll let you go? Do you?!”

“Mercy!”

Feeling his tightening grip, the Mind Calling Divine Sovereign blabbered in panic, “It wasn’t me who wanted to kill you! It was Jin Xuanyang, your sworn brother! He wanted you dead because he was jealous of your fame and strength, so he hired me and gave me your birthday! I’m his tool for murder at best!”

“Please forgive me! If you forgive me, I will become your humble servant and help you take revenge against your true enemy, so pl—!”

“Ahhhhhh!”

Unfortunately for the Mind Calling Divine Sovereign, he did not get to finish his plea. Four Symbols Inferior crushed his mind between his fingers and killed him instantly.

“Jin Xuanyang... Jin Xuanyang!”

After killing the Mind Calling Divine Sovereign, Four Symbols Inferior screamed his sworn brother’s name at the top of his lungs. “I thought of you as a brother, and this is how you treat me? I won’t let you go! I will kill you! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

......

Ye Qing did not know what had happened beyond the mountain. He wouldn’t care even if he did. It was because he was in a battle right now.

Specifically, he was fighting against a white ape.

The white ape wore a Taoist robe and a spirit crown. With a green bamboo stick in his hand, he looked rather like a Taoist master or a celestial.

Although his weapon was a bamboo stick, that did not mean he was to be underestimated. His sword light was sharp, his sword qi was voluminous, and his sword intent was unrivaled.

Most sword practitioners cared about the form but not the intent. The white ape’s sword art was the opposite. It was all about the intent and little about the form.

The white ape’s moves boasted no specific technique or powerful move. Voluminous sword qi, unparalleled sword intent, and his heart were the only things that empowered it.

His thrusts were powerful like comets and speedy like lightning.

His upward swings were like the rising moon, cold and frigid.

His slashes seemed strong enough to collapse mountains, break the earth, and open the sky.

And his cuts felt like the sunset, scorching heaven and earth.

His moves could be nimble, heavy, wide, transient, intense, or gentle. Every move was a move that came from the heart.

He did not know an ultimate move, but that was fine, for every move he made could be an ultimate move if he wanted it to be.

His techniques wasn’t profound, but they could be the most profound techniques in the world if he willed it so.

The white ape was the twenty-fifth warrior on the Earth Champions Ranking, the White Ape Sword Celestial.

The White Ape Sword Celestial was not, in fact, an actual white ape. He was a Strangerkin with the Profound Heart White Ape’s bloodline running through his veins.

His bloodline was strong, so he was born with white fur covering his whole body like an ape. His parents abandoned him because of his unusual appearance, so he was raised to adulthood by a wild white ape.

Later, the White Ape Sword Celestial happened upon a book teaching basic sword techniques. Because he grew up in the wilderness, there was no one who could teach him about the sword. So, he turned the book into his roots, and nature his master. Incredibly, he mastered the sword and became famous throughout the heavens.

The White Ape Sword Celestial did not have a name. After he became famous for his sword art and his godlike appearance, the jianghu eventually named him the “White Ape Sword Celestial”.

In terms of sword art alone, there were few people on the Earth Champions Ranking who was a match for him.

White Ape Sword Celestial rarely interacted with people because he lived in the wilderness. Because of that, he had very few friends. One of them was killed by Ye Qing in the middle of robbing the Earthly Sovereign Bell, so the White Ape Sword Celestial came today not for the Earthly Sovereign Bell, but for revenge.

Since this was a fight for vengeance, neither side was holding back. Every move they made could mean the end of their opponent.

Fist intent flashed, and sword qi filled the sky. During this battle, no one dared to stand on the Unbounded Platform for fear of getting caught in the attacks.

The only reason the Unbounded Platform remained intact was because it was forged using great power by the late East Radiance Temple. Impossibly tough, it was able to withstand shockwaves that could have destroyed the entire mountaintop multiple times over.

The stalemate lasted for a moment before Ye Qing seized the opening when the White Ape Sword Celestial was renewing his energies and unleashed a powerful Break Hammer. After the move scattered the White Ape Sword Celestial’s sword intent and broke his bamboo stick, Ye Qing elbowed him squarely on the chest, pushing him back five whole kilometers.

Realizing then that he was no match for Ye Qing, the White Ape Sword Celestial abandoned the fight and escaped.
