Chapter 274 A group of idiots
The escaping flames seemed to be in disarray in the wind, or like a staggering drunkard. They expanded violently, then collapsed rapidly, and then seemed to burst into a rain of flowers all over the sky, bursting out countless sparse blue starlight.
The power that exploded also dissipated in an instant. Shi Chun tapped the ground with his toes, wanting to rush forward again to catch it, but he bumped into the sparse blue. His face changed drastically, and he felt the atmosphere around him change drastically, as if something was trying to drain all his breath.
He subconsciously used the Demon Bathing Technique to its maximum limit to protect his body.
Then my eyes blurred and there seemed to be a mirror. Then I felt unable to move and my skin felt cold.
He moved again and found that he could still move, but the space he could move in was smaller and extremely narrow. What he saw and what he felt was shocking, and he realized that he was frozen.
Moreover, it was blocked by a thick layer of ice. He cast a spell and hit it, but it couldn't break it open. You can imagine how thick the ice layer was.
Not only him, but also An Wuzhi and Chu Jingtang who were chasing closely behind were happy to see the boss catch up with the divine fire and blew it up with one palm. But then they crashed into the sparse blue starlight and their happiness was gone. They were both frozen and unable to move.
What the three men couldn't see was that a huge iceberg suddenly appeared out of nowhere on the high mountain ridge where they were, instantly suppressing the three men.
Although the iceberg is large, it is very different from other icebergs. The whole body is as crystal clear as crystal, and the shadows of the three of them can be vaguely seen outside.
An Wuzhi was lucky enough, as he had a hidden fire energy protecting him. He quickly got wet and his clothes were filled with moisture. He could move a little, but his spells were unable to lift the iceberg, so he melted away.
Chu Jingtang was also struggling, but it was useless. He couldn't even move a finger, and he felt a bone-chilling cold all of a sudden. He secretly groaned in pain, feeling that he might die here. It seemed so unfair to him just thinking about it.
Shi Chun had a circle of space around him because he was protected by the hazy green air, and the frozen space stopped outside the green air.
Because of this tiny space, Shi Chun, who was unable to lift the iceberg, immediately used Inch Force to suddenly impact it within a short distance. When the hazy green energy on his body hit the obstacle at high speed, it had the same effect as the Magicless Sword, and would produce an explosive force in the direction of the confrontation.
Boom, boom, boom! He caused a series of explosions in the first place, and soon cracks appeared on the iceberg.
The silver-blue flame, which had shrunk to only about one foot in height, quickly escaped through the ice layer. Once it left the ice layer, it floated into the air and headed down the mountain. Its speed in the void was obviously much slower.
And it was even slower than before. After being hit by the Demon-Removing Hand, the power contained in his body was greatly reduced.
After it fell into the thick ice and snow halfway up the mountain, it flashed with light and its speed increased again.
Boom! The iceberg collapsed in a pile, and the collapsed ice blocks of all sizes slid down the hillside, as if chasing the escaped divine fire.
Boom! Ice flew everywhere. Shi Chun blasted a hole and rushed out. He glanced around and locked onto the direction where the silver-blue flame was escaping. Suddenly he looked up and saw that the abrupt cracks in the ice above were getting bigger with a crackling sound.
He jumped out immediately, and just as he flew into the air on the Wind Scales, he saw the tall iceberg collapse with a loud bang, raising a high ice mist, and the earth shook.
Shi Chun looked back and ignored Chu Jingtang and the others, because he knew that this kind of thing could not trap An Wuzhi, who practiced fire-based martial arts. What he had to do now was to keep a close eye on the escaping silver-blue flame. He had finally beaten it to the point where it had no ability to resist, so how could he let it run away again?
Not long after he chased after him on Wind Scale, the collapsed iceberg exploded again. An Wuzhi rushed out and cast a spell to bake himself into a burst of water vapor.
Looking at the boss who rode away on the wind scales, and then looking at the ice that collapsed and filled the high mountain slope, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked, and found that the boss really had magical powers. I don't know how he broke the ice.
He just thought that they had to wait for him to rescue them, but he didn't expect that the boss came out before him and had already gone to chase the divine fire.
He knew very well that if Shi Chun had not collapsed the size of the iceberg, he would not have been able to get out so quickly.
He also wanted to chase the Divine Fire, but he couldn't just stand by and watch him die. If he really did that, he wouldn't be able to report to Shi Chun and the others. Would he still be able to give him the Divine Fire?
With a quick glance, he found the approximate position of Chu Jingtang in the crystal clear space, and immediately punched and hit him quickly, and soon pulled Chu Jingtang out.
After all, with his cultivation level, he wouldn't freeze to death in a short period of time, but it was enough to make Chu Jingtang suffer a lot. After he came out, he was still shivering, and his beard was covered with ice.
An Wuzhi grabbed his wrist, cast a spell to transfer a burst of warm anger, then threw him away and ran away, "Brother Chu, you might as well take a rest first."
"A-choo!" Chu Jingtang sneezed after warming up. He looked around and saw that the strange suns were about to set. It was gloomy in the distance. He was standing alone in the wind where the cold wind kept blowing. What was he going to do? He immediately cheered up and flew after them...
Lao Changtai and two disciples of the Siding Sect in front of the cave were still quite leisurely. The setting sun on their side was still quite high in the sky. They would occasionally take out an ice sheep to take a sip, and then look at the exotic scenery. They made a joke while chatting. Lao Changtai said that it would be nice if they could get through it like this.
The two Siding Sect disciples agreed verbally but were secretly laughing in their hearts, because Xu Anchang had told them that the people from Mingshan Sect, except Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang, would be silenced sooner or later.
That’s right, they, the Siding Sect, are waiting for an opportunity to silence these people. They will take action once they are no longer of any use to them.
There is no way. It is too unreasonable for the Siding Sect to give the sacred fire to Tong Mingshan. If they are not fellow practitioners, no one can be kept, including Tong Mingshan who has been used.
"Someone is coming." A disciple of the Siding Sect suddenly reminded.
As soon as Lao Changtai and the other turned their heads, they saw a man riding on a wind scale landing in front of them. The man was none other than Shen Moming from the Mingshan Sect.
The three of them stood up quickly, and Lao Changtai said with a smile: "Old Shen, you are here, what good news do you have?"
Shen Moming: "You look so comfortable, are you basking in the sun? Hey, where's the boss?"
Lao Changtai: "You are not the first one to bring the news. Where is the boss? You have to run a little further. Come in." He led the people into the cave and pointed to the simple map left by Wu Jinliang on the wall. "There is an iron forest area here. You can see them from the air when you get close. They are here. You can go find them."
Shen Moming began to study the landmarks on the map.
At this moment, the disciples of the Four Ding Sect outside the cave shouted again, "Here they come, more people are coming, wow, so many people."
Lao Changtai and Shen Moming quickly came out of the cave to watch.
Finally they arrived. Wu Jinliang, who was flying desperately in the air, and Tong Mingshan, who was holding the sacred fire, landed urgently and landed in front of the ten elders on the highest peak.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to be careless, because the gourd behind him had already opened and was in a state of high alert.
There was no way, there were too many people chasing after us, hundreds of them.
He was under a lot of pressure on the way to escape. The speed at which Feng Lin carried one person flying was faster than that of two people. Although it was only a slight difference, the distance between the two sides was indeed gradually shortening as the chase continued. Fortunately, they finally arrived.
There were also hundreds of people, and all of them had wind scales. What kind of concept was that? A wind scale was worth a mansion in Wangdu. It was too powerful. Once he got caught in it, he estimated that even if he had six magic gourds, he might not be able to stop it.
But there is nothing we can do, since Shu Daoshan can make this kind of flying magic weapon by himself.
"It's Wu Jinliang and Tong Mingshan again." Lao Changtai, who was observing from behind, clicked his tongue and said, "Who did they recruit? How did they attract so many people?"
"Again?" Shen Moming turned his head and asked. Lao Changtai immediately explained the previous situation to him briefly.
On the highest peak, the ten elders who were sitting cross-legged under the big pestle opened their eyes one after another. As soon as they opened their eyes, they saw Wu Jinliang and Tong Mingshan nodding and bowing. The ten old elders immediately felt bad. Will these two guys ever stop?
Then the ten people's eyes were focused on the divine fire in Tong Mingshan's hand. He got another divine fire?
It was still the same color of the divine fire, and it was only Wu Jinliang and Tong Mingshan, and the same plot, and they attracted a group of people to chase them.
Why is it that these two who carry the sacred fire are always hunted down? What about Shi Chun and the others?
The ten elders were not stupid and they soon realized the twists and turns in the matter and confirmed that Shi Chun, who ranked first in the Sky Rain Meteor Conference, was indeed not a good person!
After looking at the large group of people rushing over from the sky, the elder Jin Guiqi of Shudao Mountain suddenly felt bad and his face turned ugly.
He was not blind, and although he could not recognize all the disciples, he should be able to recognize the attire of the disciples of Shudao Mountain. Adding to the number of people, among the sects that came in, only three weapon-refining sects were qualified to have hundreds of people come in.
Then the expressions of the other nine elders suddenly became extremely interesting. They could not recognize the costumes of most weapon-refining sects, but how could they not recognize the costumes of the disciples of the second largest weapon-refining sect in the world? Did Mingshan Sect get it to the top of Shudao Mountain?
The third-ranked Yanbao Sect, its elder Tang Weizong, suddenly spoke up, "We must remember our own rules and not interfere in the competition. Those who violate the rules will not be allowed to participate in the next Divine Fire Covenant. Rules, am I right?"
When Wu Jinliang, who was worried and trepidatious, heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened up. He found that this elder was really a good man with principles and was worthy of his respect.
He immediately stood at the foot of the slope and bowed respectfully to the other person.
Little did he know that they were not doing this out of principle, but because as the third largest sect they had lost the opportunity to send in a hundred people, and seeing that they were in a weak position they did not want to see other sects do well, and it would be better if they could equalize the advantages between each other as much as possible, then naturally the chances of his Yanbao Sect winning would be greater.
Now that he saw Shu Daoshan, who was ranked second, being cheated, he was naturally happy to see it. He was afraid that Jin Guiqi would help him and shut him up in advance.
"Well, that's the rule."
"Yes, everyone must follow the rules."
"Those who interfere will be kicked out of the next Divine Fire Covenant!"
A group of elders responded very actively. There was nothing they could do about it. Their ideas were similar to Elder Tang’s. One of the strongest competitors, the weaker it was, the better.
Elder Jin Guiqi of Shudao Mountain had a gloomy face and cast a cold glance at the group of disciples floating in the air. What a bunch of idiots! He really wanted to scold them.
The disciples were dumbfounded when they saw the situation. Why did they come here? What should they do? Are they going to kill and rob in front of the ten elders?
Gu Lianni, who arrived later, saw a group of people standing still in the air, and approached them and shouted, "What are you looking at? Why don't you..."
Then I saw the situation on the highest peak, realized where I was, and actually ran to the exit.
What made her grit her teeth the most was that Wu Jinliang and Tong Mingshan were right there, and in Tong Mingshan's hand was the divine fire that he had stolen from right under their noses.
If it were someone else, faced with this situation, they would definitely leave in a huff.
But they are different, the elders of their family sit on the top of the mountain.
Gu Lianni said, "Follow me and go down to meet the elder."
She took the lead and fell down, landing next to Wu Jinliang, which scared Wu Jinliang so much that he pulled Tong Mingshan back a little.
"I know you. Your name is Wu Jinliang. You are so brave that you dare to steal our things right under my nose. If you have the guts, you can hide here for the rest of your life!"
Gu Lianni first pointed at Wu Jinliang's nose and warned him.
All the people from Shudao Mountain also fell down.
Lao Changtai and others who were hiding behind the hillside felt their hearts in their throats.
Wu Jinliang also began to complain, "We haven't seen it, right? You haven't gotten hold of this sacred fire, right? We spent all our efforts to find it, so it's naturally ours. How come we stole it from you? You can't be so overbearing as to bully others by taking advantage of your power, right?"
"Just wait!" Gu Lianni pointed at his nose again with a sneer on her face and warned him. Then she turned around and bowed to Jin Guiqi, "Disciple greets the elder!"
"Disciple greets the elder!" Hundreds of people followed suit and greeted in unison.
In this situation, the sharp-eyed people felt that something was wrong, including Gu Lianni. They saw that the other elders were all smiling and seemed to admire them. On the contrary, their own elder Jin Guiqi's face turned green, and his eyes were vicious, as if he wanted to eat them alive.
Suddenly, Jin Guiqi spoke up, "You are a bunch of idiots, go do what you need to do, get out!"
All the disciples of Shu Daoshan were dumbfounded, including Gu Lianni, and they didn't know what was wrong with the elder.
Jin Guiqi shouted again: "Get out of here right now, wherever you came from!"
Shu Daoshan and his gang were still a little confused because they didn't know where they had gone wrong.
Gu Lianni wanted to say something, and just as she was about to ask, Jin Guiqi shouted again, "Are you deaf? I told you to get out of here, can't you hear me? Get out now!"
The continuous scolding caused the other nine elders to change their expressions.
Tang Weizong, the elder of Yanbao Sect, said in a deep voice: "Jin Guiqi, you are going too far. Do you think the rules are just for show?"
Jin Guiqi immediately retorted, "It's unreasonable for them to block here. I told them to go away and do what they need to do. Does that count as helping them? If they can't even talk, then when you say something, can I think you are hinting at something?"
Tang Weizong tightened his lips, realizing that his words gave the other party an opportunity to take advantage of and give him a reminder.
The words have been made so obvious that the faces of many alert disciples of Shudao Mountain have changed drastically.
Gu Lianni was not stupid. She suddenly realized what the elders meant by their repeated scolding. She had thought it was a bit strange to get the red divine fire from the ice field. Now she was struck by lightning. She suddenly turned her head and pointed at Wu Jinliang, "You..."
Still arguing? Jin Guiqi was furious and interrupted, "Get lost!"
Gu Lianni threw her sleeves and shouted to the disciples, "Go!"
The first one took off into the air, and a group of disciples followed him. Soon they were all gone, heading the same way they came.
Wu Jinliang's face turned green. He turned to look at Jin Guiqi with murderous intent in his eyes. However, he quickly restrained himself when he saw the other person looking at him.
