Chapter 388: Trump card
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
The purple clashed with this blood red mountain range.
The Purple light was like a sword, tearing through the air as it shredded the red mountain range. It was clearly more powerful.
But just at that moment...
A ball of flame appeared in the middle of the furball.
It was as bright as the sun, the fire burning everything in its way. At that moment, the entire mountain range was ignited.
The purple light continued to suppress the fire as it shot through it.
It seemed like the purple light still had the upper hand. However, the tides began to turn slowly but surely. The purple light was being swallowed, bit by bit.
It was not fast, but as the fire continued to burn brighter, the rate at which it was swallowed became faster.
Finally, the mountain range had all but disappeared. However, the fire continued to digest the purple light.
Flute music continued to reverberate through the air.
In actual fact, the music did not stop ever since the ball of flame appeared. The music was pained and icy, almost as if it was mourning the loss of what had been burnt.
It was like the memory of the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan.
It was filled with depressing thoughts.
Then, the purple light disappeared and so did the music. All that was left was a dwindling fireball.
A light breeze blew past the battlefield...
And the fire was extinguished.
It looked as though nothing had happened. The air was still slightly chilly. However, everyone was stunned by what they saw.
Especially Wu Feng.
Even though blood was still trickling from his lips, he suppressed it, ensuring that he did not spit it out like the previous time.
Because...
He did not want it to affect his music.
Wu Feng's eyes were filled with sorrow. It was impossible to determine if this was because he had felt the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan's memories or because he was pained by what Yan Xiu looked like now.
His eyes were filled with tears as he stared at the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan in Yan Xiu's hand. Of course, the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan was no longer the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan.
There were no more pictures of mountains or rivers. The fan was white but stained with blood.
The red crystal glow had all but disappeared.
However, Yan Xiu's eyes were just as red as ever. There was a red ray of light on his chest.
It blinked rhythmically, almost as if it was beating to Yan Xiu's heartbeat.
”I never thought that the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan was this powerful? No wonder it is one of the five treasures of the Yan Family. However, why does Yan Xiu look so weird? Could it be...”
”Oh no! The Dao of Asura is controlling Yan Xiu! I read that if one's foundation is not strong enough, forcing improvements in power would backfire!”
”Backfire? Is Yan Xiu into the evil Asura state?”
”If that is the case, all hell is about to break loose. Once it turns into evil Asura, he will lose all that is good within him. He will lose all sense of reason. The only way to save him is to destroy his cultivation.”
All of the other candidates were terrified when they saw the red beam of light at Yan Xiu's chest.
”Evil Asura?” The middle-aged man did not look well. He had suffered slight injuries from the hit.
However, he smirked when he saw the beam of red light blinking on Yan Xiu's chest.
He no longer attacked Yan Xiu.
Anyone who dropped into the realm of evil Asura was a dead man walking.
The humans would mourn the loss of such a talent, but anyone who is controlled by evil Asura would have to be stopped. Of course, there was a more important reason as to why the man did not attack.
It was that...
Yan Xiu was the Dao of Asura.
In simple terms, Yan Xiu was not an opponent he could deal with. Why would he go up against someone so powerful who posed little threat?
After he saw the state of Yan Xiu, he began to walk around Yan Xiu and towards Fang Zhengzhi.
He ignored the pair of red eyes that were locked onto him.
He closed in...
Just as he was about to reach Fang Zhengzhi, a ray of red light shot towards his side.
It brought with it a hellish, icy killing intent.
”Woosh!” The middle-aged man leapt into the air and landed some distance away. He looked at Yan Xiu in shock.
Evil Asura!
Once consumed by the evil Asura, Yan Xiu would lose all rationality. As such, he could possibly attack those around him for no reason.
However, Yan Xiu was not doing that.
Yan Xiu was still protecting Fang Zhengzhi.
Yan Xiu was still protecting Fang Zhengzhi. This was not something that he needed his brain to decide. This protection came from the heart, and it sent shivers down the spine of the middle-aged man.
This also meant that...
He will not get to Fang Zhengzhi easily.
”What a bother! It's a pity... you'll still be ruined!” The middle-aged man's eyes glowed purple as he slashed with his sword.
At that very moment, yet another ray of purple light rushed towards Fang Zhengzhi.
”Woosh woosh!” Two rays of red light shot out. One crashed into the sword whilst the other crashed against the purple light directed at Fang Zhengzhi.
”Boom!”
”Boom!”
Two explosions rang out.
...
On top of the cliff.
