Strongest Martial God - Chapter 54
Translator: Seventh Peril Editor: Anuvrat
In the main hall, two blurry figures repeatedly collided with each other. Extremely frightening exploding sounds spread out following their attacks.
“*Bang—*”
Another exchange of blows. The two figures crossed each other before landing on the ground at the same time. Mo Fanlong had an indifferent expression while Song Shaochen’s expression changed slightly as he took half a step back.
“Heh, Song Shaochen, why do you have to do this to me? Before the appearance of the Inheritance, if you lose to me, it would not be a good thing for you.” Mo Fanlong smiled at Song Shaochen.
Song Shaochen’s eyes became cold. He coldly smiled and said, “Mo Fanlong, didn’t you take the initiative to kill me just now? You don’t think that it’s easy to mess with me, Song Shaochen, do you? “
“Heh, Song Shaochen, you are a powerhouse, aren’t you? Ask yourself honestly, don’t you also want to kill me? As long as someone appears in this place, they will all be competitors for the Inheritance. What is wrong with trying to get rid of other competitors?” Mo Fanlong sneered, “But do you think you’re my match?”
“Even if I’m not your match, I can still wear down your strength and not lose to you. Do you believe me?” Song Shaochen sneered.
Mo Fanlong’s eyes also turned cold suddenly at his words. In fact, he had already noticed long ago that this Song Shaochen must have some tricks up his sleeve that he had yet to use. Moreover, if he were to really act recklessly, even if he could block it, he would be in a weakened state. At such a crucial moment in the fight for Inheritance, being in a weakened state would undoubtedly be extremely troublesome.
At this point, even Mo Fanlong felt a tinge of regret that he made a move against Song Shaochen just now.
However, Mo Fanlong wasn’t an indecisive person. In the next instant, killing intent boiled in his eyes. If this Song Shaochen still refused to let him off, then he would have to use his trump card to settle this problem once and for all.
After slightly sighing, Mo Fanlong’s gaze became even colder. He stared at Song Shaochen and coldly said, “Song Shaochen, since you don’t know how to appreciate favors, then I will send you on your way today.”
“Then come and give it a try.” Song Shaochen’s face was cold, and his good-looking face was solemn and flickered with killing intent at the same time.
“Heh, it seems that I have no choice but to interfere in such an interesting situation.” Right at this juncture, Ye Zhong took a step forward, and his indifferent gaze landed on Mo Fanlong, “Senior Brother Song, although you and I did not have any interaction before, the enmity between him and me is not shallow. Why don’t we join hands to get rid of him first today, and then talk about the rest?”
Initially, Ye Zhong did not have any intentions of meddling in their affairs, but now that there were nearly half of the people in the hall that were his opponents, he was willing to get rid of the most troublesome fellow first.
“Ye Zhong!”
Mo Fanlong’s gaze turned cold. He turned his head and glanced at Ye Zhong, who was slowly walking out. His eyes were filled with killing intent. Obviously, he also had a boundless killing intent towards Ye Zhong.
“Junior Brother Ye, in that case, why don’t the two of us join hands?” Song Shaochen glanced at Ye Zhong, and after a brief flash of his eyes, he laughed out loud. His gaze was fixed on Mo Fanlong, no longer concealing his killing intent. Obviously, now he also hated Mo Fanlong to the extreme.
When the others saw that Ye Zhong had teamed up with Song Shaochen to deal with Mo Fanlong first, many of them frowned slightly. However, none of them stood up for Mo Fanlong. Apart from Su Yu, who was currently standing on a sideline in a watchful manner, most of the others took a few steps back and focused at the scene before them. If one of their opponents was eliminated, then the chance of obtaining the Inheritance of the Innate Temple would be higher.
As Song Shaochen finished his sentence, both Ye Zhong’s and his gaze fell on Mo Fanlong at the same time, and the atmosphere in the main hall turned solemn in an instant. At this moment, Mo Fanlong’s eyes were filled with killing intent. It was obvious that he knew that today’s incident would not end peacefully.
Thus at this moment, the main hall was so quiet that one could hear the sound of a needle hitting the floor.
Among the three of them, Mo Fanlong’s strength at the Sixth Layer of Body Tempering could be said to be the strongest. It could even be said to be the strongest amongst the nine people present. Although Ye Zhong and Song Shaochen were slightly inferior to him if the two of them worked together, then this Mo Fanlong would be in deep trouble.
It could be said that if they were to fight, the outcome would likely be unpredictable.
“As expected of the disciples of the Xingxiang Sect. If you two join hands and are able to defeat me, I wonder how you will divide the Inheritance in the end?” Under the watchful gaze of Ye Zhong and Song Shaochen, the killing intent in Mo Fanlong’s eyes slowly dissipated and then sneered.
“Mo Fanlong, it wouldn’t be too good to be trying to sow discord at a time like this, right?” Song Shaochen taunted.
Mo Fanlong smiled indifferently, but his smile was filled with chilliness this time. Soon after, a mocking expression flashed across his eyes as he indifferently said, “Forget it, since you all want to play a game of joining hands, then I’ll let you down if I don’t kill you guys!”
“Everyone, are you still not going to act?”
As Mo Fanlong’s voice faded, a wave of sighs could be heard from the crowd. Su Xuan and Ning Yu walked out together with Mo Fanlong, and the three of them surrounded Ye Zhong and Song Shaochen in the middle.
“Young Master Mo sure is capable!” When Ye Zhong looked at the scene, his eyes flashed slightly. He never thought that Mo Fanlong would actually be able to find his opponents and turn them into his helpers.
“Mo Fanlong, is it really that amazing that you have three people on your side?” Seeing that, Su Yu snorted and walked out slowly.
In the blink of an eye, three-on-two become three-on-three.
Apart from these six people, the other three who remained standing were the Hollow Prince Lei Ruoxu, Rong Tian, and Pang Jie. However, as the three of them stared at the scene, their expressions became somewhat strange.
“*Rumble—*”
Just as the atmosphere became strange, an elegant throne that was located on top of a high platform in the deepest part of the main hall, a ray of dazzling light suddenly flashed one after another.
The gazes of the nine people present all swept over at the same time, only to see a tall statue sitting upright on the throne. The statue held a golden scroll in its hand, and that dazzling light was emitted from that scroll.
“The Inheritance of the Innate Temple has appeared!”
At this moment, everyone’s pupil violently constricted. The grudge from earlier had been instantly thrown to the back of their minds. Even Rong Tian and the others who were not involved in the battle had their eyes turn red.
“*Whoosh—*”
In the next instant, Mo Fanlong’s body suddenly sprang out. He then shouted in a sinister voice, “Both of you, stop the others. The items that you have agreed upon will be delivered once everything is done!”
“Alright!”
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan and Ning Yu hesitated for a moment before nodding their heads at the same time. Their gazes coldly stared at the area behind them. Although relying on the two of them to block the six people was somewhat wishful thinking, it was still possible to stop them for a moment.
“This b*stard!”
Su Yu’s eyes reddened. She had the urge to rush out, but Ye Zhong’s eyes narrowed. He waved his hand and stopped her, “Things seem amiss.”
Upon hearing Ye Zhong’s words, all those who wanted to rush out stopped in their tracks at the same time. Their eyes were filled with hesitation. It had to be known that, previously, for the sake of obtaining the Innate Command Token, there had been a latent danger on every step. But now, the Inheritance of the Innate Temple had appeared so easily, something was indeed amiss.
“*Thud—*”
Not long after Mo Fanlong sprang out, suddenly, cracking sounds could be heard from the top of the Inheritance Hall and black silhouettes fell from the sky like a meteorite, landing on the ground one by one.
The sudden turn of events made Ye Zhong and the others narrow their eyes. Mo Fanlong’s figure also stopped on his tracks, and his bewildered gaze fell on where the black silhouette had landed.
“*Crack—*”
The black silhouettes burst open. Inside the black object that resembled a dome, the pitch-black figures that were over ten feet tall slowly stood up one after another. They had the human-like body, but their bodies were simply made of wood. However, even though it was simple woodwork, it gave off an indescribable sense of oppression.
“*Bang—*”
Extremely terrifying undulations spread out from the pitch-black figures at almost the same time, causing everyone’s expression to change drastically.
“This is… the Wooden Combat Puppet!?”
Su Yu’s gaze landed on the densely packed figures. Moments later, as if she had remembered something, her expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.
“What!?” Upon hearing this, the expressions of the others instantly turned extremely unsightly. As they saw nearly a hundred Wooden Combat Puppets descending from the sky and appearing in the main hall, all of their expressions became unsightly to the extreme.
“Why are there so many Wooden Combat Puppets here!?”
