Venerable Demon Chef
Chapter 333 - 330: You Really Can Do Whatever You Want (Part 3)
’No, this battle has to end quickly!’
’Those old geezers watching from the shadows are as cunning as they come. I can’t let them guess that the Treasure is in the Mountain and Sea Empire, or there will be trouble.’
Huangfu Yu had originally wanted to torture Mo Qi, ideally forcing him to kneel and beg for mercy in front of Liu Ruyan.
But now, he had changed his mind.
’This kid’s defensive shell is tough, practically immune to all my physical attacks. In that case, I’ll test the power of the Asura Realm! I refuse to believe he can be immune to a Mental Realm attack too!’
’If that doesn’t work, I’ll have no choice but to use that Forbidden Technique! The side effects are severe, but it’ll be worth it!’
Huangfu Yu formulated a two-step plan.
In truth, he didn’t want to take that final step unless absolutely necessary.
"Kid, what’s your name? I admit you’re worthy of being my, Huangfu Yu’s, opponent."
As Huangfu Yu spoke, his fingers, hidden within his sleeves, were continuously forming peculiar Seal Techniques.
Mo Qi tilted his head, giving Huangfu Yu’s sleeve a meaningful glance.
The corners of his mouth lifted into a strange smile. "Sorry, but I haven’t admitted you’re worthy of being *my* opponent. As for my name, you can ask again if you manage to beat me."
Huangfu Yu’s heart skipped a beat, and he nearly fumbled his Seal Technique. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
’Did he see what I was doing? Impossible!’
"Hmph, what shameless boasting!"
Just then, his Seal Technique was complete. Huangfu Yu composed himself and let out a cold snort.
"That was just a warm-up. We’ll get serious now. I will only make two moves. If you’re not dead by then, I’ll consider it my loss!"
Mo Qi rubbed his nose. ’Just a warm-up?’
’Who are you kidding?’
’Even a fool can see you’ve already been giving it your all!’
Despite his thoughts, Mo Qi didn’t underestimate Huangfu Yu.
On the contrary, he would treat Huangfu Yu’s next attack with the utmost seriousness.
For Huangfu Yu to make such a bold claim of finishing this in two moves under these circumstances meant he was extremely confident in his next technique.
Huangfu Yu slapped the completed Seal Technique into the Asura Sword, then threw it forcefully.
The giant sword transformed into a streak of light and merged with the heavens. In an instant, a blood-red mist roiled like clouds, covering the sky for dozens of miles.
"Slaughter Realm, Extreme Slaughter Swordsmanship—Storm Form!"
SHING! SHING! SHING!
Streaks of bloody light shot out from the clouds, forming a colossal net that descended upon Mo Qi.
Upon closer inspection, the net was entirely composed of blood-energy swords shaped like the Asura Sword. It was a Sword Array!
Mo Qi’s eyes narrowed to slits.
The External Incarnation lacked offensive capabilities, so it could only defend passively.
But now that his main body had returned, Mo Qi was not one to take a beating without fighting back.
’Although my Five Elements Dominating Body could easily block this so-called Extreme Slaughter Swordsmanship, isn’t it more satisfying to fight violence with violence?’
Thinking this, Mo Qi took a step forward, proactively meeting the Sword Array in mid-air.
"Life and death cycle without end. I live, you die!"
Mo Qi let out a low cry as his Incarnation Battle Armor retreated to protect his heart.
His black hair fell loose as he spread his arms wide.
His left hand was jade-green, his right a demonic purple-black. Life and destruction, two completely different auras, each occupying one side in clear distinction.
"Slay!"
Huangfu Yu pointed from a distance and roared. Instantly, countless dense beams of bloody light converged on Mo Qi from all directions.
This was Sword Energy imbued with the Slaughter Realm, possessing the true power to sunder the body and obliterate the soul!
Faced with the inescapable Sword Energy, Mo Qi performed a very simple action—he clapped.
That’s right, he clapped!
CLAP!
But his clap wasn’t merely the meeting of two palms; it was a fundamental clash between the energies of life and destruction.
Although Mo Qi himself didn’t fully understand what it was, he knew it was on a level that certainly surpassed any Mental Realm.
BOOM!
The repulsion between the ultimate extremes of life and destruction inevitably produced a massive fluctuation of Energy.
At that moment, a blinding light radiated outwards from Mo Qi’s hands.
It was as if a scorching sun had descended, illuminating the entire world.
The entire Imperial City was engulfed in an overwhelming brightness.
Everyone saw a flash of white and lost their sight. Even their Divine Sense became sluggish.
The various experts observing from the shadows were no exception.
They were aghast, never imagining that a duel between two minor figures would actually affect them.
The light came as quickly as it went.
The experts recovered their senses almost immediately. They looked at each other, seeing the shock mirrored in one another’s eyes.
’What kind of technique was that?’
Their senses had only failed for a brief moment, but for experts of their level, a single moment was enough to do many things.
If Mo Qi were on the same level as them and pulled a move like that in battle, they would likely be beheaded before they even had time to react.
The group fell silent for a long time before someone finally couldn’t resist speaking.
"This kid from the Mountain and Sea Empire is no simple character. Looks like he’s no worse than the Huangfu Family’s little monster."
"No worse than him? I think you’re all overlooking something. Huangfu Yu hasn’t gained any advantage from start to finish. And in terms of age, this kid is likely much younger than Huangfu Yu."
At these words, the group fell silent once again.
"So, what’s the verdict? Looks like we’ll have to honor the promise we made back then. Old Li really was one step ahead of us!"
"Not so fast!" one of the experts suddenly said, waving a hand. "Huangfu Yu must have more up his sleeve. Didn’t he just say he’d make two moves? There’s still one more. And don’t you forget what the Huangfu Family’s true trump card is!"
The experts were startled.
"You don’t mean summoning... *that* existence, do you?!"
"Summoning it is impossible, but he should be able to borrow some of its power. After all, you know what the name Huangfu signifies."
"Then isn’t that kid from the Mountain and Sea Empire finished?"
"Not necessarily. I don’t think this kid has reached his limit either. To be honest, I’m quite looking forward to it."
"Then let’s wait and see."
Back on the battlefield, a giant sword fell from the sky like a piece of scrap metal.
Huangfu Yu retreated repeatedly, rubbing his eyes, which had only just recovered their sight.
Mo Qi’s clothes had been completely destroyed. If not for the Incarnation Battle Armor covering certain parts, he would have been streaking naked in public.
His mouth was wide open, and he continuously spat out black smoke. He looked as if he had just been roasted in an explosion.
In fact, that was more or less what had happened.
’So thirsty, so thirsty!’
With a thought, Mo Qi summoned a stream of water from a Spiritual Spring within the Chaos Scripture’s space and drank it down in big gulps.
Unleashing the clash between life and destruction was easy, but reining it in was not so simple.
Mo Qi had thought that because he had used it once before during a breakthrough in his Cultivation, he would be able to control it. He was wrong.
Just a moment ago, if the Chaos Scripture hadn’t intervened in time to disperse the repulsive force between life and destruction, he would have likely died from the very commotion he had created.
Huangfu Yu, of course, knew none of these details. Seeing Mo Qi in a similarly battered state, he assumed the Incarnation Battle Armor had taken the brunt of the Sword Array’s attack.
"Hmph, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you have an incarnation!"
Hearing this, Mo Qi looked up, a strange expression on his face. "Sorry, but having an incarnation really *does* mean you can do whatever you want!"
