Chapter 279: Wu Ming: Don’t come over! (4700 words)
Wu Ming had already rushed out a long distance, far ahead, and there were only a few people on the road ahead, the only ones were some of the first heavenly pride to set out, but by the looks of it, they were also about to be caught up by Wu Ming.
However, he looked back.
Wang Xiu was surprisingly not left behind by him, but rather, he was following him unhurriedly, only half a body length behind.
His head full of snow-like white hair fluttered backward, and with his hands behind his back, as if he was strolling in his own backyard garden, with a faint smile and teasing expression, he said, “I thought that Mr. Wu was really going to leave me behind! It turns out that he was just joking with me …… to scare me!”
Wu Ming’s pupils shrunk slightly, a few more points of gravity in his eyes, and he hummed, “Indeed, you are a bit capable, but it’s not your turn to be complacent, this gongzi hasn’t even exerted 10% of his strength yet!”
[Ding!
[Detected someone bragging in the vicinity, congratulations to the host for gaining mana +988!
Wang Xiu’s face was as normal as he nodded his head and smiled, “That’s natural, please continue to teach Mr. Wu!”
Humph!
Wu Ming twisted his head, no longer looking at Wang Xiu, dense runes surged out around his body, emitting divine sunlight, his blonde hair danced in the wind, his breath was powerful to the extreme, and his speed soared once again.
He twisted the void.
In an instant, he climbed a thousand feet.
The pressure here was already extremely terrifying, several times that of before.
The cultivators who came here were all slowing down, their faces showing signs of hardship, their bodies bearing unimaginable pressure around them.
The dragon’s roar beside his ears was sometimes like a beating drum, sometimes like a thunderclap, stirring the hearts of the people and causing their souls to tremble.
There were a few Celestial Pride who already had blood spilling from their mouths and noses, and their figures were shaking.
I’m afraid it’s hard to hold on.
Wu Ming’s speed had also slowed down a lot, and the light of the runes around his body was dimmed, suppressed by an invisible force, but it was still astonishing, in stark contrast to the other cultivators.
“Wu Ming of the Wu Clan, truly living up to his name.”
“To be able to maintain this kind of speed at this point, he has amazing depth!”
“It’s said that even that suspected Quasi-Emperor old ancestor of the Martial Family holds Wu Ming in high regard, almost pouring out his teachings, so it seems to be true.”
“……”
There were marveling sounds everywhere.
Above the heavenly ladder.
Although Zhao Qingyu and the others hadn’t sprinted, they had been moving at an even pace, maintaining a fairly fast speed.
A young man with a cold aura said indifferently, “Not even entering the island yet, and you’re flaunting it like this, it seems like you’re completely disregarding us.”
Another youth with a lethargic look yawned and said, “This is Wu Ming ah, if he knew how to restrain himself and hide his clumsiness, he wouldn’t be Wu Ming anymore!”
A young man dressed like a scholar shook his folding fan and said, “This wild and overbearing aura is just like the Overlord of the Martial Family thousands of years ago! No wonder he is so highly regarded! Miss Zhao, what do you think?”
Zhao Qingyu didn’t participate in the discussion.
Her eyes kept staring somewhere.
Suddenly hearing the person beside her call out to her, she was slightly stunned and then said, “I would think that what Wu Ming is walking is not the hegemony that the Martial Family Hegemony once had, but rather it seems like he’s blazing a new trail that’s much more tied to arrogance!”
Sniffing.
The crowd on the side laughed lightly.
“Where is that opening up a new path? It’s clearly going astray!”
“Miss Zhao, don’t let Wu Ming hear these words, or else I’ll definitely be done with you!”
“Miss Zhao wouldn’t be afraid of him? Senior Xuan Tian Sovereign is also known to be protective of his shortcomings! To this beloved disciple of Miss Zhao, he has always been loving ……”
Zhao Qingyu smiled lightly and didn’t say anything else.
Her eyes continued to look somewhere.
There was a strange color flickering in her eyes.
Next to her, that young scholar noticed her gaze and followed her line of sight, and suddenly realized that …… Zhao Qingyu was gazing at Wang Xiu.
His face was slightly different as he seemed to remember something and said, “I heard that this Saint Son of the Three Purities, once rejected Miss Zhao?”
Zhao Qingyu glanced at him and lightly laughed, “That is indeed true.”
The young scholar said, “Miss Zhao admires him?”
Zhao Qingyu didn’t hide it, “He’s very good, if he was born in the Nine Heavens, he wouldn’t be slightly weaker than you and me, maybe even stronger.”
The young scholar nodded, “I naturally trust Miss Zhao’s vision. It’s just a pity that having offended this lunatic, Wu Ming, this calamity is very difficult!”
Next to him.
The rest of the Celestial Pride also interjected, “That’s right, this person, Wu Ming, has a domineering personality to the extreme, it is said that if someone walks down the road and glances at him, as long as he’s unhappy, he’ll also have a seizure on the spot!”
Someone sighed, “This Wu Clan’s son has both the nature of a top-notch playboy and the unparalleled talent of ordinary people, as well as an unshakeable backer, he cannot be offended!”
Zhao Qingyu smiled lightly and said, “Being sad doesn’t mean it’s impossible to pass! There was a time when no one believed he could defeat Yi Chen either!”
The young scholar shook his head and said, “Times are different now.”
“Unless that second son of the Yu Family is willing to come forward to protect him, there might still be a way out.”
“I think it’s hanging by a thread, if the one coming is that eldest son of the Yu family, it’s fine, Wu Ming will definitely not dare to make a move. But this second eunuch …… to put it bluntly, the face of the Yu family can only save his own …… Wuming won’t be too scrupulous.”
Numerous celestial pride were discussing, shaking their heads and sighing, feeling that Wang Xiu was having a hard time with this hurdle.
“Crap!”
However, the next moment, someone suddenly exclaimed, “Look guys!”
“Look at what?”
Someone was puzzled and looked in the direction of the voice, and immediately stared with wide eyes, “Crap!”
“Crap!”
“Really?”
“……”
……
Wu Ming once again erupted with speed, riding in a blaze of glory, catching up with all the heavenly prides in front of him, the strength of his strength causing people to cry out in despair.
But what everyone didn’t expect was this.
Wang Xiu actually wasn’t left behind.
Even ……
didn’t even get pulled away from the distance.
It was still only half a body length behind Wu Ming.
“How did he …… follow up?”
“Nope, didn’t pay attention!”
“See a ghost?”
The crowd’s jaws dropped, just now everyone’s attention was on Wu Ming, simply because his outburst of speed and aura was too amazing, incomparably striking, as dazzling as the blazing sun.
Completely unnoticed what Wang Xiu had done.
The young scholar was also stunned, when he just looked, Wang Xiu was still stuck in the same place, how did he get there in the blink of an eye?
How did he do it?
A distance of a thousand feet, if elsewhere, with their means, there were countless ways to reach it in an instant.
But on this heavenly ladder.
One step is one heavenly step.
If one dared to not follow the rules of this heavenly ladder, one would be directly obliterated at any time.
Of the people present, there were very few who noticed how Wang Xiu followed the ladder.
Zhao Qingyu was one.
At this moment, her beautiful eyes were colorful and shocked, and her full breasts were undulating, unable to hide her surprise.
Wang Xiu didn’t perform any secret techniques.
He just did as he normally did, as if he was strolling in the void, and as if he was enjoying the flowers amongst the mountains and forests, with his hands behind his back, bland and elegant.
It was as if even an old man in his twilight years could walk faster than him.
But it’s strange.
He just followed, and it was as if the terrifying pressure of this heaven and earth was ineffective against him.
The space around him flew backwards.
It is like the legendary shrinking of the earth, not …… even more exaggerated than that.
……
The stance Wang Xiu used was the Nine Heavenly Misty Steps.
The subtlety of this body law, naturally, no need to talk about it, the system produces, has always been a fine product.
However, what really made Wang Xiu walk on the ground here was from Wang Xiu’s own background.
The pressure here, in detail, is divided into two levels: spiritual pressure and physical pressure.
Whether it was the spirit or the physical body, both were subjected to unimaginable pressure.
If a cultivator’s Yuan Shen went out of his body.
One would be able to see an incomparably huge dragon shadow suspended between the heavens and the earth, as vast as the universe, weighing one down.
However, Wang Xiu had the Underworld Emperor Prison Suppressing Scripture protecting his body.
In the Spiritual Platform, there was the shadow of the Underworld Emperor sitting in the center, and all laws were inviolable.
He also had the Da Luo Undying Divine Consciousness with him.
The power of the divine soul is a powerful mess, far superior to cultivators of the same realm.
The Dragon Emperor’s pressure that remained on top of this Dragon Island was completely insufficient for Wang Xiu.
Another point is the external pressure felt on the flesh, ordinary practitioners here, not only feel difficult to move, as if the body is pressed a mountain, even the body of mana operation, the difficulty is several times higher.
But Wang Xiu all mana, all is the most refined and pure supreme yuan air.
He was the best at transforming all the energy in heaven and earth into his own.
In terms of physical body, there is no need to mention.
Under the enhancement of the Desolate Ancient Heaven Fighting Scripture, he was comparable to an ancient ferocious beast, and even a young pureblooded true dragon could not possibly be stronger than him.
All sorts of factors piled up.
It made Wang Xiu almost like a fish in water here, and he could hardly feel any suppression.
……
Looking at Wang Xiu who was following closely behind him.
The smile on Wu Ming’s face had already solidified before it was even born.
Wang Xiu smiled and said, “Gongzi, why did you stop again? You’re not failing, are you?”
Wu Ming’s eyes narrowed slightly and he hummed, “How could that be? This gongzi has only just warmed up, Fang only used 30% of his strength, next, I will let you know what is called despair!”
[Ding!
[Detected someone bragging in the vicinity, congratulations to the host for gaining mana +988!
The words fell. He made a seal with both hands, and a powerful and overwhelming aura emanated from his body, his head full of blonde hair flew as if it had grown much longer, and a strong battle intent surged from his body.
“Huo Sheng Du Jing injury death shock open ……”
“The door of life, open!”
Eight ancient runic seals rotated around him, the power in his body was unprecedentedly huge, and the whole person’s aura was different, becoming overbearing and very unruly.
“Martial Emperor Qi Men!”
“The Martial Family’s heirloom mastery, rumor has it that with each gate opened, the battle power can skyrocket by tens of percent, and if all eight gates are opened, the battle power can soar by tens of times in a short period of time it …… don’t know if it’s true or not!”
“Rumor has it that the old ancestor of the Wu family, with this skill, opened all eight doors together and fought hundreds of moves head-on with a great emperor level powerhouse, and although he eventually fell, he was still proud enough to do so!”
“……”
In the distance, the pupils of countless Celestial Pride shrank, feeling great pressure.
This was the supreme method that was incomparably close to the Emperor Scriptures.
Even though all of them had extraordinary backgrounds and family learning, it was very difficult to come into contact with this kind of supreme technique.
Only the most central inheritors had such qualifications.
……
Once the Shengmen opened.
Wu Ming’s breath skyrocketed, and his speed, which had already slowed down, skyrocketed once again.
“Hahaha …… chase? I let you chase? You chase another one for me?”
Wu Ming laughed wildly and unruly.
A dense golden light bloomed all over his body.
It was like a materialized golden flame, incomparably brilliant and dazzling.
However, the words just fell.
Beside him, came Wang Xiu’s voice: “Uh, Mr. Wu, I caught up, I didn’t disappoint you, did I?”
Wu Ming: “!!!”
He stiffened and twisted his head around, Wang Xiu was staring at him with a very clear eye, human and harmless.
However, looking at him made Wu Ming tremble, his pupils clenched, and even the muscles on his face twitched.
He was following up again!
He followed up again and again and again!
How the hell did he do that?
Wang Xiu smiled, “Mr. Wu, you actually don’t have to always stop and wait for me, it’s no fun for me to win later if you give in like this, isn’t it?”
Wu Ming: “I’ll give you a %$#@@!”
The corners of his mouth twitched and he gritted his teeth, “Fine, fine! It’s my son who underestimated you, but if you think that you can show off in front of my son like this, then you’re very wrong~”
[Ding!
[Detected someone bragging nearby, congratulations to the host for gaining mana +988!
“This eunuch has only finished warming up …… have the ability, you continue to follow? Hugh door, open!”
He erupted once again, transforming into a ray of light that shot straight up into the sky.
Wang Xiu looked at his distant back and smiled faintly, lifting his steps, his figure dissipated as a residual shadow.
……
“Finally, got rid of this guy!”
Wu Ming’s figure slowed down, his face slightly pale.
Continuously casting the Martial Emperor’s Strange Door was too much of a burden for him at today’s realm.
Fortunately, there was no disgrace.
This lower realm mole cricket had nearly caused him to lose face.
He had to be made to pay the price.
“Eh, Mr. Wu, why have you stopped again? Could it be that you’re waiting for me on purpose? You’re such a good person!” Wang Xiu’s voice reappeared, like a shadowy spirit, causing Wu Ming’s entire body to tremble.
Wu Ming: Good your sister’s people, your whole family is good people!
He gritted his teeth, but his mouth was tight: “Hmph, this gongzi just wants to purposely give you hope and make you despair again and again!”
[Ding!
[Detected someone bragging in the vicinity, congratulations to the host for gaining mana +988!
After saying that, he erupted once again and rushed into the sky.
……
Wu Ming’s face grew pale.
With his strength, if he traveled at an even speed, this heavenly ladder would not have been difficult for him.
However, he had continuously opened the Martial Emperor’s Strange Door and had consumed too much, as if he had gone through a great battle.
Even though his mana was vast.
It wouldn’t be able to last long at all.
“This brat, too detestable! When I have the chance, I must thwart him ……” He gritted his teeth.
However, before he could recover some of his condition.
The voice that made his liver tremble resounded once again.
“Mr. Wu, I’m here again!”
“…… Heh, not bad, I admit, you have the qualifications to make me take you carefully and seriously, but that’s all!”
[Ding!
[Detected someone bragging nearby, congratulations to the host for gaining mana +988!
“Wounded Gate, open!”
……
“Mr. Wu, why have you stopped again? Isn’t it because you’re tired? Want to rest for a while?”
“No need! This gongzi has no limits!”
[Ding!
[Detected someone bragging nearby, congratulations to the host for gaining mana +988!
……
“Pfft!”
I don’t know how long it took, but Wu Ming violently spat out a mouthful of blood, his breath weakened and his face was ugly.
After repeatedly activating the Martial Emperor’s Strange Door, his body was already unable to cope.
“Yo, Mr. Wu, why are you still spitting out blood? Is this also your strategy? Trying to make me think that you’ve already lost, thus letting your guard down?”
Wang Xiu appeared, still breezy, laughing with his hands behind his back.
Wu Ming: “……”
He was going crazy.
This guy, what in the world is this coming from?
This way of speeding.
Even he can’t eat it.
Wang Xiu actually acted like nothing happened.
No, can’t admit defeat, the face of the Wu family …… must not be lost at his own place!
“Hehe, the person who can win against me hasn’t been born yet?!”
[Ding!
[Detected someone bragging nearby, congratulations to the host for gaining mana +988!
Wu Ming secretly gritted his teeth, took an elixir, his breath recovered quite a bit, and sprinted again.
The next stretch of the journey.
It was definitely the darkest road Wu Ming had traveled so far in his cultivation.
No matter what means he used.
Getting high, or exploding secret techniques.
Wang Xiu was always inseparable, and it was as if a bond was tied between the two of them, they simply couldn’t shake it off.
In the beginning.
Wu Ming was still holding his breath in his heart.
Unconvinced of defeat.
But later on, Wu Ming completely despaired.
He had realized that this Wang Xiu fellow was not half as simple, mysterious and scary, with powerful underpinnings.
Moreover, it had also changed from the beginning of Wu Ming running in front and Wang Xiu chasing behind, to Wang Xiu catching up with Wu Ming.
“Mr. Wu, don’t stop again, it’s almost time to board the island, if you stop again and I get there first …… you’ll be in deep trouble!”
“……”
Thus, Wu Ming coughed up blood all the way, charging all the way, in a sorry state.
“Faster, faster, you’re too slow, Mr. Wu!”
“Ahhhhhhhh!”
“……”
“Faster, still too slow!”
“Aaaaaahhhh …… Don’t you come any closer!!!”
……
Finally, the light of day shifted slightly.
The boundless, vast, tattered Dragon Island was close at hand.
Wu Ming’s eyes lit up, as if he had seen hope and new life, and he wanted to cry, “It’s coming, it’s finally coming!”
This incomparably torturous time was finally coming to an end!
Just then.
A figure flew past him and took the lead in stepping on top of that Dragon Island.
Wang Xiu stood tall and looked at the sprinting Wu Ming, with a smile on his face that made Wu Ming shudder, ”Sorry, Mr. Wu, I apologize! According to the bet between you and me, the loser – get off!”
The words just fell.
In Wu Ming’s horrified eyes, a foot landed high on Wu Ming’s head.
