Chapter 523: Coming to an End

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Sacred Flame Sect knew that this current operation did not change things significantly. Hence, they were very quick and decisive in their retreat. Large groups of ancient martial art practitioners from Sacred Flame Sect ran outside and dashed out of the inner city one by one.

The ancient martial art practitioners of Intentionless Sect had no intention of giving up their chance to teach their enemies a lesson. They gave chase and continued to kill them. They wanted to bring as much destruction to Sacred Flame Sect as possible.

The psychedelic array surrounding the inner city had been used to trap Intentionless Sect. However, it was not powerful enough to keep out the ancient martial art practitioners of Intentionless Sect. At that moment there were groups continuously surging into Intentionless City with the goal of joining Intentionless Sect. All of them were dressed in the Intentionless Sect costume.

The person in the lead was the Young Mistress of Intentionless Sect, Chen Zi. She had gathered all the people that were rushing back to Intentionless Sect outside the city and tried to force their way in. Coincidentally, they had bumped into those Sacred Flame Sect people that were escaping. A huge battle instantly erupted between the two sides.

After Sacred Flame Sect had given up control on the outer city, they had allowed Intentionless Sect the chance to gather themselves both inside and outside. Hence, the Intentionless Sect was able to attack on two fronts.

“Young Mistress, why are those ancient martial art practitioners from Sacred Flame Sect running away? Could it be that Intentionless Sect has won?” Zou Guangbo was by Chen Zi’s side. As he looked at those ancient martial art practitioners running out in throngs from inner city, there was a little confusion in his eyes, but more so an unmasked happiness. From the current situation, it seemed as though Sacred Flame Sect had been defeated!

It did not seem possible. He could not imagine how Intentionless Sect could have possibly defeated the fierce and raging Sacred Flame Sect. However, it seemed as though it was indeed the case. One after the other, ancient martial art practitioners from Sacred Flame Sect escaped like dogs. Meanwhile, the ancient martial art practitioners from Intentionless Sect were giving chase.

“We’ll know once we break in.” A bright look of clarity flashed in Chen Zi’s eyes. Taking the lead, she ran fiercely towards the inner city. Zou Guangbo, worried for her safety, closely followed behind her. Two of the Intentionless Sect Elders who had rushed back were responsible for intercepting those Sacred Flame Sect ancient martial art practitioners who were trying to escape.

The ancient martial art practitioners of Sacred Flame Sect started to tremble with fear as they saw the sheer number of ancient martial art practitioners ready to intercept them, even including two Sect Elders.

Intentionless Sect had actually been so well-prepared. Many people were suspecting whether the defeat of Sacred Flame Sect this time was something long planned for by Intentionless Sect.

In the inner city, Zhu Lanhuo did not retreat immediately. Instead, he fixed his eyes on Mo Wen. With his Cultivation, he could retreat anytime with nobody having the power to stop him. However, he had only one chance of catching Mo Wen and could not give up the opportunity so easily.

As Mo Wen walked in front of Zhu Lanhuo, Zhu Lanhuo managed to move away immediately. As an ancient martial art practitioner with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm, a single move from him was naturally stunning. The surrounding air stilled instantly as though it had become sludge. Nobody could get close to him.

Instead, his body had immediately appeared before Mo Wen.

“Fire Bone Palm.” He only had one chance. Naturally, Zhu Lanhuo would not allow Mo Wen to escape from his clutches so easily. The Fire Bone Palm was one of his ultimate skills. It was renowned in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension. The only people who could block his Fire Bone Palm were those ancient martial art practitioners with the same level of the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm. Even an ancient martial art practitioner with the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm would not be able to do it.

A ray of fire had appeared above Zhu Lanhuo’s palm. Immediately, his hand had turned as clear as crystal. It was just like a red crystal skeleton hand and was constantly sprouting out gorgeous flames. The weird hand directly appeared above Mo Wen’s head and fiercely came down upon him.

At the border, Chen Zi had just broken into the inner city. She immediately glanced up to the sky to see the image of Zhu Lanhuo attacking Mo Wen. Her head constricted and her expression changed drastically as she almost cried out in shock. However, before she could voice her concern, something that was even more shocking happened.

Mo Wen did not even try to hide as a clear look in through his eyes. It looked as though there were two bunches of golden flames raging at the same time. In the next moment, that Fire Bone Palm that possessed the scary pressure disappeared immediately. The stifling heat had also lifted immediately. It was as though nothing had happened. Zhu Lanhuo’s body froze suddenly.

Mo Wen had already taken a step out and stood in front of a dazed Zhu Lanhuo. Then, he shot out a leg, brushing it against Zhu Lanhuo’s face and sending him flying.

At the same time, Chen Wuhui’s body finally started to move. It was as though he had calculated precisely where Zhu Lanhuo’s body would end up. With a flash of his figure, he had already positioned himself at the spot as he waited for Zhu Lanhuo to arrive.

However, Zhu Lanhuo had become completely conscious halfway towards Chen Wuhui. His body twitched strongly and he changed his flight direction. He thus managed to escape from Chen Wuhui’s attack by a small margin.

A look of surprise flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. His expression also turned slightly more solemn. Zhu Lanhuo was actually very capable. In such a short period of time, he had been able to regain consciousness. It was even quite a bit faster than Li Zhuoying. It was no wonder that he was the Sect Leader and Li Zhuoting had been the Deputy Sect Leader.

“Just now, you... how could it be!” Zhu Lanhuo pointed at Mo Wen in disbelief. “Soul attack? It was really a Soul attack?” Could it be that he had been possessed! Or was he dreaming? How could a youth possibly have the ability to perform a Soul attack? Wasn’t it a legendary remarkable power that was only present in Immortal Cultivators?

As the Sect Leader of Sacred Flame Sect, Zhu Lanhuo naturally knew much more than the average person. He had come across some mysterious characters in Huatian Palace so he had a certain understanding of Immortal Cultivators. However, amongst Immortal Cultivators, only those of the Primordial Soul realm and above could perform the Soul attack. Moreover, very few Immortal Cultivators would treat the Soul attack as an attack technique. That was because the Soul attack was like a double-edged sword. Once it failed, it would have a very harmful effect on one’s own body.

He had never thought that a youth would actually use the Soul attack to go against him. That... how did he even do that?

Zhu Lanhuo’s face still had a footprint left behind by Mo Wen. It was a little comical and laughable. A proper Sect Leader of the Sacred Flame Sect, the top master in the whole Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, would certainly lose face because of this. One or two sounds of mocking laughter erupted from amongst the surrounding Intentionless Sect disciples.

However, at the moment, Zhu Lanhuo did not care about all that. He looked at Mo Wen with deep confusion and shock. The youth had already become extraordinarily mysterious in his heart.

“Didn’t you want to kill me just now? I’m standing right here, come and kill me.” Mo Wen crossed his arms behind his back and looked as though as he was a senior. He looked at Zhu Lanhuo without pity. His aura and his expression made him appear authoritative.

However, only he knew that if it were under usual circumstances, he would not have dared to challenge Zhu Lanhuo if he had been alone. After all, an ancient martial art practitioner with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm was a huge threat to him. Even if he could perform the Soul attack, he would not be able to hold up for long against an intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm practitioner. Moreover, it was very difficult for him to kill Zhu Lanhuo. And once the resistance of the Soul attack was lifted, it would be too easy for Zhu Lanhuo to kill him instead.

However, things were different now. As part of Intentionless Sect, he had this master, Old Grandfather Chen who was of the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm by his side. Naturally, he had nothing to worry about.

“You... Little beast, those ten Sacred Flame Sect Elders must have disappeared previously because of you as well?” Zhu Lanhuo’s face had turned frighteningly dark. Things that he had not been able to make sense of in the past suddenly all became clear to him. Those ten Sect Elders that had disappeared previously definitely had something to do with this youth. Intentionless Sect would not have the ability to silently kill off those ten Sect Elders.

If it had been under usual circumstances, Zhu Lanhuo would have thoroughly destroyed the murderer after finding out who it was. However, the youth was too evil and had confounded him so much that he did not dare make a rash move.

“However, it is not a wrongful death since they had the privilege to die in my hands.” At such a time, Mo Wen did not see the point in hiding anything.

“Lad, I will remember you clearly, we will meet again.” At the moment, Zhu Lanhuo did not want to remain in Intentionless Sect a moment longer. He simply wished to leave, because he finally felt the fear set in. With this evil youth around, he no longer had the assurance of definitely being able to escape from Intentionless Sect. His figure turned into flames that headed directly outside of Intentionless Sect. He did not even want to say an additional word.

“I’ve already said that you will not be able to escape,” Mo Wen said calmly. Mo Wen was not wrong. Just as Zhu Lanhuo was prepared to escape, a figure had seemingly shot over at the same time, directly blocking Zhu Lanhuo.

“Old b*stard Chen, do you want to give it your all in a fight with me? You will have a price to pay for killing me and you should understand that. Don’t force me into dragging you down with me,” Zhu Lanhuo’s face turned cold and the killing intent within him started to rise. It was as though it acted as a proof for his words.

“You’re too naive. Do you think you are still in the position to drag me down with you?” Chen Wuhui did not bother to continue speaking nonsense with Zhu Lanhuo. Immediately, he threw out a fist and aimed it directly at Zhu Lanhuo’s head. With Mo Wen’s assistance, he only had to find Zhu Lanhuo’s weak point and he would be able to kill him. Hence, he was not worried that Zhu Lanhuo would drag him down together in a fit of desperation.

Indeed, just as Zhu Lanhuo and Chen Wuhui were going against each other, Mo Wen unleashed another of his Soul attack.

Even though Zhu Lanhuo was cautious, the Soul attack was too sudden and he was unable to defend himself against it. Or perhaps, with his ability, he just was not equipped to defend against it. He had fallen into a completely dazed state. Chen Wuhui was one to grasp his opportunities. Hence, he grabbed this chance to finish off Zhu Lanhuo in a single move.

“No...!” When Zhu Lanhuo finally regained consciousness, he noticed that his body had been decapitated and his blood was spewing everywhere. He only had time to let out a cry of shock. He simply could not believe what had happened. If things had been different, he could have killed off Intentionless Sect and completed the longstanding wish of Sacred Flame Sect to become the top Sect Leader in all of history. But why did things have to turn out this way?

Zhu Lanhuo felt very indignant. However, no matter how indignant he felt, he could not do anything. His outcome was still death. In the end, the scene before him became complete darkness.

Mo Wen heaved a sigh of relief and landed lightly on the ground. There were beads of sweat on his forehead and his face had turned pale. Too much of his energy had been used up. Although killing Zhu Lanhuo only required him to perform his Soul attack twice, it reduced his Soul power five times more than an attack on an ancient martial art practitioner with the beginning stage of the Golden Elixir realm.

Mo Wen usually liked to hold back a little. If it had not been for the fact that letting Zhu Lanhuo off would be a threat in the future, he would not have been so determined and used his Soul power to the maximum.

“Mo Wen!” A purple ray of light shot over from afar. It was Chen Zi who had just entered the inner city. She had witnessed the previous scene and finally understood why Intentionless Sect had been able to recover from their loss to turn it into a victory. Although she still had many doubts, she knew that Intentionless Sect being able to make it through this predicament was all due to Mo Wen’s efforts.
