Chapter 324: Chapter 321: Asura Blood Pupils

"Or, you two could just come at me together."

Mo Qi crooked his finger.

"Like I said, if you can so much as touch a single hair on my head, I’ll count it as your win."

He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his tone calm and detached.

His composure, his domineering aura that seemed to look down upon the entire world, earned the respect of the many experts observing from the shadows.

In truth, however, this was not what Mo Qi wanted at all.

He had always been a low-key person, much preferring to get rich quietly without making a scene.

But circumstances forced his hand.

’The External Incarnation is incredible, sure. Indestructible, even. But its combat power is seriously lacking!’

’I might have the Huangfu Brothers completely stunned by my bluff right now, but the moment they see through it and actually attack, it’ll be a total, one-sided slaughter. No question about it.’

’The External Incarnation can’t be injured and feels no pain, but the thought of being kicked around like a ball and pummeled repeatedly in front of everyone... Yeah, I’d rather not.’

"Enough of your empty boasts! Face my sword again!"

Unconvinced, Huangfu Jun raised his sword to strike again.

"Come back, Jun. You can’t hurt him. Let me handle this."

Huangfu Yu stopped Huangfu Jun.

"Brother, let me try one more time! I know I can cut him down!" Huangfu Jun refused to give in.

"That’s enough. Stand down!" Huangfu Yu’s voice was firm.

Though seething with reluctance, Huangfu Jun could only step aside.

Huangfu Yu walked up to Mo Qi, his eyes fixed on him.

"I don’t know how you’re doing this, but the Vajra Realm is still just the Vajra Realm, and a mortal is still just a mortal. You know nothing of the methods of the Hall of Envoys—or should I say, of the Immortal Realm!"

Mo Qi rolled his eyes. ’If I wasn’t just trying to stall for time, I wouldn’t have the patience for this idiotic monologue.’

’What is this nonsense?’

’All he talks about is "ants," "mortals," and the "Immortal Realm."’

’Never mind that true Immortals are really just powerful Cultivators, not so different from anyone else. Even if they were different, that’s their business. What’s it got to do with you?’

’You talk as if you’re already Immortals yourselves!’

’These guys have issues.’

But since his goal was to stall for time, Mo Qi was happy to play along.

In fact, he hoped Huangfu Yu would posture and spout nonsense for a good while longer.

"Very well. In that case, why don’t you, oh great Immortal, demonstrate the techniques of the Immortal Realm? It would be a great chance for a simple country bumpkin like me to see something new."

The words were spoken matter-of-factly, but to Huangfu Yu’s ears, they were exceptionally jarring.

He laughed, his fury boiling over. "Rest assured, I will satisfy your curiosity!"

An invisible ripple spread from between his brows, and the Silver-armored Giant materialized once more.

However, compared to the one in the Fighting Cultivation Room, this Silver-armored Giant was far more powerful in both its size and its presence.

It was also more solid, no longer an illusory phantom but something that seemed truly, physically present.

"There are some people you can’t afford to provoke and some things you shouldn’t get involved with. When you do something wrong, you must pay the price!"

As if to punctuate Huangfu Yu’s words, the Silver-armored Giant tilted its head back and roared at the sky.

The tremendous roar was heard clearly by everyone in the Imperial City.

Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang, standing not far off, were blasted back by the soundwave. They stumbled backward until they slammed into the cliff face at the avenue’s entrance.

Both of them coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

’So powerful!’

’Just the roar from his Mental Realm Transformation was enough to severely injure us!’

’Is the Hall of Envoys really this terrifying?’

However, this was only the beginning.

Huangfu Yu slit his fingertip and flicked a drop of blood into the Silver-armored Giant’s mouth.

ROAR!

The Silver-armored Giant instantly flew into a frenzy, beating its chest like a gorilla.

A bloody hue washed over its Silver Armor, forming a bizarre pattern.

It was a massive eyeball, as red as blood!

The sight was enough to send a chill down one’s spine and make their hair stand on end.

"That’s the signature technique of that old geezer from the Huangfu Family, the Asura Blood Pupils! I can’t believe this little monster actually managed to master it!"

The experts hidden in the shadows were all shocked by this development and couldn’t help but start discussing it amongst themselves.

"That kid is finished. The Asura Blood Pupils don’t just destroy the physical body; they can also erase one’s Divine Sense. I don’t know how that kid’s defense is so strong, but against the Asura Blood Pupils, it’s as fragile as paper!"

"Looks like the Mountain and Sea Empire is done for. Old Li went to great lengths back in the day, trying to move his entire people into the Immortal Realm. They finally got their Blessed One, but it was all for nothing."

"Hmph. Moving an entire people into the Immortal Realm... what a foolish dream. We’ve served the Saint Ancestor for so many years and have never been granted such a privilege. I warned Old Li from the start, but he wouldn’t listen. I don’t know what got into him back then, he was just so bull-headed."

"What’s the point of bringing all that up? Old Li’s been dead for years. We’re only here to repay the favor we owed him. If this so-called Blessed One dies at the hands of that little Huangfu kid, then great. Saves us the trouble."

"Let’s just watch and see."

Mo Qi looked at the transformed Silver-armored Giant with a spark of amusement.

"Well, look at that. It even changes color? How interesting. This thing would be great for entertaining kids."

When Huangfu Yu heard this, he grew so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged.

"Ignoramus! Since you’re in such a hurry to die, I’ll grant your wish!"

As he spoke, Huangfu Yu interlaced his fingers, pressing his thumbs against the backs of his hands and touching the tips of his pinkies together to form a strange Hand Seal.

"Asura Blood Pupils, activate!"

With a great shout, the eyeball pattern on the Silver-armored Giant began to spin rapidly. It filled with Spiritual Energy, as if it had come to life.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

The Silver-armored Giant strode toward Mo Qi.

SHWAAA!

A flash of bloody light burst forth. A frenzied, slaughterous Power of Realm traveled along the gazes of all onlookers, boring into their Seas of Consciousness.

The experts observing from the shadows remained unmoved; an attack on the Mental Realm of this level was nothing to them.

But for everyone else, it was nothing short of a catastrophe.

For instance, Liu Hui and Jin Sanpang had been watching the fight intently.

Utterly powerless to resist, their eyes immediately turned bloodshot. They began to roar like wild beasts, their minds lost to madness.

Fortunately, Li Shimu intervened in time, dispelling the Asura Blood Pupils’ attack for them.

And that was just from the periphery of the Asura Blood Pupils’ attack.

As the primary target of Huangfu Yu’s attack, however, Mo Qi simply scratched his head. Aside from finding the crimson light a bit glaring, he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

The Asura Blood Pupils could directly assault a Cultivator’s soul and Sea of Consciousness. The prerequisite, of course, was that the target actually had to possess a soul and a Sea of Consciousness.

But the current Mo Qi was merely an External Incarnation. He had no Sea of Consciousness and no soul, only a vague, ethereal wisp of awareness.

Therefore, the Soul Attack of the Asura Blood Pupils was a complete joke to him.

As for destroying the physical body, that was even more out of the question.

"Hey, uh, could you turn off the red light? This warm color shining on me is kind of making me sleepy," Mo Qi said, letting out a yawn.

Huangfu Yu was speechless.

’This can’t be happening!’

’He’s completely fine?’

’Impossible!’

’The Asura Blood Pupils have never failed me before!’

’I must have missed something. A mere Vajra Realm Cultivator couldn’t possibly have this kind of power!’

Just then, a woman’s chilly cry rang out from the distance.

"Huangfu Yu, if you dare lay a single finger on Brother Mo, I’ll take your life today!"
