Chapter 185 Golden Crow Sacred Flame?
Su Wen and the other Barbarian men continued to exchange insults. Su Wen’s Emotional Values were still surging up. Suddenly, a shout came from the barbarian formation. “Stop!”
Everyone stopped talking when they heard the shout. Su Wen was the only one left putting up his own show.
At this moment, a black spear flew out from the barbarian formation!
The instant the spear flew out, Su Wen’s hair stood on end.
A strong sense of oppression made his body stiffen!
The energy on the spear spiraled. As it flew, it let out the cry of a bird. However, the bird cry was a bit hoarse and unpleasant to hear. Holy flames surged within Su Wen’s body, and his right eye was about to transform into the form of the Pupils of the Vermillion Bird. But at that moment, a tall figure appeared in front of Su Wen.
Pa!
The spear was caught, and all of its might dissipated.
Wu Kunhu stood on the city wall and looked coldly at the barbarian camp below. He said in a low voice, “Tamu Chuan, do you not have this bit of tolerance?”
His voice was not loud, but it spread far and wide.
Su Wen felt a lingering fear in his heart as he took a glance at the Barbarian camp. That person just now was completely different from an ordinary 9th Grade Earth Rank. Just like the difference between a baby and a strong man. The person Zhao Jin and the others had fought in the Li Prefecture would not even be able to last more than three moves against this person. In the barbarian camp, a person dressed in wolf skin clothes walked out. He looked coldly at the city wall and said in a deep voice, “Does that brat dare to come down and fight?” Su Wen glanced at him and curled his lips. “Whoever goes down is a fool!” “Go down!”
Wu Kunhu said softly. Su Wen pursed his lips and said, “I’m not going down. There are tens of thousands of people on the other side, and you want me to go down alone?” “They want to fight one-on-one!” “Then you can go down and choose. Aren’t you the number one person in the Earth Rank? You can choose from the beginning to the end and kill all of them. There’s no need to fight anymore!”
Su Wen did not dare to go down. With one look, he knew that this guy was no ordinary player. His combat power was terrifying. Even though Su Wen had a 6th Grade Earth Rank cultivation now, he had no chance of winning against such a person. This was like facing a Heaven Rank cultivator knowing that you would lose, but still insisting on battling. If that wasn’t idiotic, then what was? Wu Kunhu shook his head, “They won’t fight me!”
At this moment, Tamu Chuan hooted again. “What, you brat, do you only know how to talk? Didn’t you enjoy your scolding? Come down and fight!”
Su Wen flew into a rage. Wasn’t this just f*cking asking him to fight solo when they could not outscold him? He held the megaphone in front of him and shouted, “I just refuse to go down, I’m going to scold you up here! F*ck your mom! Come up if you can! You can fight Old Wu one-on-one. If you win, I’ll handicap myself by only fighting you with one hand!” Just this sentence alone earned Su Wen another wave of Emotional Value. Tamu Chuan turned around and addressed everyone, “This brat wants to infuriate all of you. Towards this kind of fellow who only dares to talk nonsense, just treat his words as farts!”
When he said those words, the barbarians started laughing loudly. Someone immediately mocked loudly, “That’s right! Little coward, you don’t dare to do anything, you only know how to shoot empty words!”
Su Wen refused to back down. “Why don’t you all fight with General Wu then? Aren’t you afraid?”
It had reached a point where each side had their own things to say rather than curse at each other.
At this moment, Wu Kunhu said, “Don’t worry. The rule of the duels before any war is that the cultivation level of both parties must not be apart by more than one grade. In other words, your opponent will at most be a 7th Grade Earth Rank expert. Kid, your martial technique is powerful, so go down and practice it. It’s just nice to kill a few barbarians to boost morale!”
Upon hearing this, Su Wen was tempted. If one were to tell him that he was going to face up against that terrifyingly powerful Tumu Chuan, Su Wen definitely wouldn’t dare. ‘But if you’re talking about beating a 7th Grade…’ Su Wen roared, “If you want to come, then come! But I have to say this first, my status is only at the 6th Grade! Whoever the f**k tries to play and send an expert over is a little doggy!” After shouting, he whispered to Wu Kunhu, “Am I just going to go down like this?”
“Just go down. Don’t worry, you won’t die with me around!”
Wu Kunhu promised seriously. Su Wen threw his megaphone to the side and started doing the eight set of radio gymnastics… to stretch his body. However, Wu Kunhu suddenly appeared behind him and kicked him, forcing him down! Bang! His feet landed on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
He turned back to look at Wu Kunhu, who was on the city wall, and shouted furiously, “Why did you kick me? What are you so anxious about?”
Wu Zehu stood on the city wall and said with a cold smile, “Rascal! You ate my Wind-Ripping Hou and my ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, and you even want to swindle my daughter away from me. How can you not work after taking all these benefits? Stop wasting time and hurry up!” Erm… Speaking of this, Su Wen didn’t dare to argue with Old Wu anymore. If that old man were to find out that he had brought Wu Muyu here… it wouldn’t be worth getting beaten up. This fellow was too fierce! Seeing Su Wen come down, Xu Longze was the most excited!
“I want to fight!”
Xu Qiao however grabbed him and coldly replied, “You’re the only son left from the Xu family, and you’re going to ask for a fight? Your younger brother has an 8th Grade Earth Rank cultivation, yet he was defeated by this kid, so how can you be his opponent? Watch properly! There are many experts in the barbarian race, and their cultivation techniques are strong. They’re big in size, and their Qi and blood essence are exuberant. Generally speaking, their combat strength at the same level is slightly stronger than humans.” At this point, he paused and looked at Wu Kunhu who was on the city wall. He sighed. “Except for that monster!” “But I can’t accept this!” Xu Longze said through gritted teeth as he looked down at the heads of the Xu family on the walls. Xu Qiao clenched his fists and his eyes were cold. “I can only be indignant if I’m alive! If I’m dead, there’s nothing left!”
When Tamu Chuan saw Su Wen fighting, he shouted, “Who dares to fight!”
“This general will do it!”
A figure shot forward rapidly! A middle-aged man rushed out. The Barbarian had a tall and imposing figure, with a totem tattoo on his body. “I am of the Fire Barbarian Tribe — Jiuji Zhen!”
Jiuji Zhen roared loudly and rushed in front of Su Wen. He raised the mace in his hand and smashed it down viciously! Su Wen sneered. “I’m still f*cking using the Octane Blast!”
(TL Note: Jiuji Zhen can be loosely translated as Nine Extremities, hence Su Wen’s wordplay by saying Octane Blast, a skill from the book Battle Through the Heavens.) Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this guy was powerful enough, but in Su Wen’s eyes… he was full of flaws.
Earth Ranked Cultivation Technique… Even though his True Qi was violent and powerful, it was only if you compared him to an ordinary human.
Compared to Su Wen… he had no advantage at all!
Furthermore, he was only at the 6th Grade! Su Wen remained still.
But a long blade appeared in his hand at an unknown time!
“Nine Waves Return to Origin!” Su Wen swung his saber. Boom! It was to the point that he hadn’t bothered to activate his Holy Flames.
A huge blade aura swept past. The spiked club stopped in front of Su Wen. Time seemed to have frozen. Both parties stopped moving the moment Su Wen slashed out.
It was as if someone had frozen them.
Su Wen tilted his head and looked at Tamu Chuan with a smile. “That’s it?” As soon as he finished speaking! Suddenly, blood sprayed out all over from Jiuji Zhen!
Su Wen did not dodge, letting the hot blood splash onto his body. Hot, fresh and metallic!
The familiar smell of blood… At the same time the blood splattered on his body, Su Wen’s gaze became sharper and the ridicule in his eyes disappeared.
His quick-wittedness also vanished. What replaced it was numbness, indifference, and soaring killing intent! Half of Su Wen’s body was covered in blood as Jiuji Zhen’s body was bisected.
It landed on the ground in two perfect halves.
Su Wen, who was bathed in blood, raised his head slightly. If someone from the Star Martial Mystic Realm saw this scene, they would definitely find it familiar.
This was when Su Wen had gotten truly serious and prepared to kill! “Stinking brat, you still have a bit of a manly appearance!” Wu Kunhu stood on the city wall and praised inwardly. Su Wen took the initiative to walk forward and said softly, “I originally didn’t want to kill, after all, life is precious!” Su Wen looked at the Fire Barbarians.
As the saying goes, one’s position determines one’s views and behavior.
When a person was in a different position, they would make different choices.
In Su Wen’s opinion, the battle between the two countries did not mean much to him.
It was a contest between two races, two species.
As members of the human race, they had to face the outsiders’ invasion no matter what.
In the Star Martial Mystic Realm, Su Wen had experienced being transformed into a hundred different lives and experienced the helplessness and unwillingness of life. But even so, when his consciousness returned to his body, he was still a human. Su Wen would never think of getting along well with others and accepting the world for what it was!
That was because he was even more aware that the integration of every race was bound to be accompanied by a storm of blood and a long period of time.
Blood, slaughter, was a theme that could never be skipped in war. When it was time to kill, when it was time to draw his saber, he would never show mercy! The suffocating killing intent soared to the sky. What was there to fear if his heart was as hard as steel! Seeing the drastic change in Su Wen’s aura, even Tamu Chuan’s expression turned solemn.
He decided to take action! “Ge’er Cai, go kill this person!” The surnames of the Barbarians were usually longer than that of the human race, as it included all sorts of ancestral legacies within. Although this Ge’er Cai seemed to have nothing to do with him, it was actually his nephew!
“As you command!”
Ge’er Cai jumped out of the formation. He was only 25 or 26 years old, but his cultivation was one grade higher than the Jiuji Zhen that had just died! 7th Stage Earth Rank. Moreover, as a Fire Barbarian nobility, what he cultivated was a Heaven Rank cultivation method! He ripped off his fur coat. His well toned upper body was exposed, and Ge’er Cai laughed loudly. “You foul-mouthed dwarf! Today is the day you die!”
Well… for the barbarians, the humans could indeed be said to be short.
Su Wen’s gaze remained impassive and cold.
What he noticed was the totem embroidery on Ge’er Cai. It was completely different from the one on Jiuji Zhen.
Covering Ge’er Cai’s entire body was an avian-like creature.
But it was also burning at the same time. And at that moment, the totem was flashing with red light as large amounts of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi gathered. Furthermore, Su Wen was very familiar with this particular Origin Qi. It was fire elemental based energy! The reason why the Fire Barbarians were called so was because they were born with an affinity for fire elemental energy. What Su Wen was concerned about was that the avian creature depicted on this fellow had three legs! “Three-legged Golden Crow?” Su Wen muttered to himself.
A large amount of fire elemental energy gathered, giving the impression that Ge’er Cai body was burning with flames. He charged straight at Su Wen and roared as he swung his heavy fist! Large amounts of flames gathered on his fist.
“Golden Crow Sacred Fist!”
Su Wen responded quickly, moving his hand up and pointing out! The finger and fist collided!
However, Su Wen was not at a disadvantage. Bang!
The Holy Flames soared into the sky!
Sunburst Spirit Finger! The two fire elemental energies collided, but they did not merge. It was as though two walls of fire were pressing against each other!
However, Su Wen’s flames had more of a golden hue, while the flames of Ge’er Cai were tinted a darker crimson shade. “Impossible!” On the other side, Tamu Chuan’s eyes widened! He could clearly sense that the fire elemental energy contained in Su Wen’s attack was even purer than Ge’er Cai. As expected, the flames of the Ge’er Cai were eventually engulfed by Su Wen’s flames! Ge’er Cai’s eyes widened in horror! How could he know that between the three-legged Golden Crow and the Vermillion Bird, it was hard to say who was stronger and who was weaker?
However, he was only using totems and cultivation techniques to strengthen his affinity with flames. Su Wen had ingested a genuine Vermilion Bird Blood Essence. To put it bluntly, he currently possessed the Vermilion Bird bloodline. His control and purity of flames were naturally far superior to Ge’er Cai! Ge’er Cai decided to quickly retreat! But he did not get off scot free. His arm was still burnt in the process!
He looked at his arm in horror.
Ever since he was young, even if he were to stick his hand into the fire, he would not be hurt like this.
In reality, the burn was not considered serious, but the psychological blow to him far exceeded this injury! In the meantime, Su Wen had already charged forward again! Extreme Yang Star Position! The two exchanged another blow! However, this time, with the support of the Extreme Yang Star, Su Wen’s flames turned even more terrifying, and Ge’er Cai wasn’t even able to achieve an initial stalemate like before.
The flames on his body seemed to have been ignited!
The dark crimson color turned into Su Wen’s golden Holy Flames the moment they came into contact! “Ah!” Ge’er Cai let out a miserable cry as the flames burned on his body! It was an incomparable pain. At this moment, Su Wen saw that the Golden Crow totem on Ge’er Cai’s body was flapping its wings as if it wanted to fly. He did not know if it was a mirage caused by the heat waves!
The next second, Tamu Chuan moved! He dashed forward.
And at this time, a long spear also appeared in Wu Kunhu’s hands! He shot down the walls with it!
Bang! The spear arrived, but so did the person! Tamu Chuan held his saber in one hand and blocked Wu Kunhu’s spear. And the Ge’er Cai was already being held in his other.
However, at this moment, Ge’er Cai’s body had been severely burnt and many places had been burnt to a crisp. His consciousness was already somewhat unclear. He was gasping with difficulty. It would be difficult for him to survive. Tamu Chuan raised his head with grief and indignation. He stared at Su Wen and shouted, “How did you activate our Fire Barbarians’ Golden Crow Sacred Flame?!”
“Eh?!
Su Wen didn’t believe that he was activating the Golden Crow Sacred Flame. He knew very well that he was using the Vermilion Bird Holy Flames. However, he would definitely not tell Tamu Chuan the truth.
He laughed maniacally. “Haha, what bullshit is this Golden Crow Sacred Flame? I was born with this ability! You little cowards dare to play with fire with me? Go home and piss on your brick beds!”
As he spoke, he saw that Tamu Chuan and Wu Kunhu were still in a deadlock. Su Wen took the opportunity to point at them! Boom! Boom! Boom! The flames of the Sunburst Spirit Finger erupted from his body!
However, this Tamu Chuan was indeed formidable!
With the activation of his Qi, all the attacks were deflected. At this moment, the Barbarians behind him had already charged over. Wu Kunhu grabbed Su Wen. Without exerting any force, he quickly retreated and returned to the city wall! Tamu Chuan looked at the two of them angrily and shouted, “Retreat!” The army slowly retreated!
Behind them were the 30,000 strong barbarian main force!
On the city wall, Su Wen felt that it was a pity as he watched the enemies leave.
If not, he could have added some more Emotional Value if he scolded them some more.
But now, he was beaming with joy as he looked at his system interface.
More than 300,000 points! Awesome! He even leveled up two more times. Great!
The days of being in debt were gone. Wu Juhu glanced at him and said, “Record the merit. Su Wen killed two people. One of them is a 6th Grade and the other is a 7th Grade Fire Barbarian.”
After saying that, Wu Kunhu turned around and left.
Someone at the side had already noted down Su Wen’s contribution.
On the other end, Xu Qiao did not look too good either.
Su Wen could use flames to burn the Fire Barbarians to death?
This guy seemed to have quite the potential! Tamu Chuan remained silent the whole time.
The army retreated 30 miles and met up with the rear army. Then, Tamu Chuan directly charged into the commander’s tent!
Inside the tent was an extremely tall man.
He was the marshall of the Fire Barbarians Army this time, from the Fire Barbarian Royal Family! Seeing Tamu Chuan’s anxious look, he frowned and said, “What are you doing, barging in without letting anyone report?” Tamu Chuan stared into his eyes and said seriously, “Jiluo Fu, I saw someone today!” “If you attack the city, you will be able to see people.” General Jiluo Fu said in disdain, “What’s so great about seeing people?” Tamu Chuan was furious. “Listen to me! That brat can activate the Golden Crow Sacred Flame!”
“What?”
Jiluo Fu immediately sat up straight. He frowned. The Golden Crow Sacred Flame was the Fire Barbarians’ strongest combat power. This was also a manifestation of the purity in their bloodline.
It could even be said that the Fire Barbarians had a few unique skills that could only be used by those who possessed the Golden Crow Sacred Flame.
However… in the last several hundred years, the Fire Barbarians had not managed to find anyone in their tribe who possessed the Golden Crow Sacred Flames.
“Did you see wrongly?” Jiluo Fu frowned in response. “Did I see wrongly?” Tamu Chuan got more agitated at the accusation, “How could I have seen wrongly? My nephew was burnt to a crisp by that brat! He’s just outside. Do you want to take a look?” Ge’er Cai? That fellow was burnt? Jiluo Fu’s expression changed at this piece of news. He hurried out of the tent and found Ge’er Cai still lying on the ground, barely breathing.
As for his body, a large area of burns had appeared. Many places had been burned to a crisp just as Tumu Chuan had said.
Jiluo Fu observed carefully. The moment he saw the totem on Gulli’s body, his expression cracked!
“Look!”
At first, Tamu Chuan had no idea what he was referring to.
But when he saw the totem, he was stunned.
The Golden Crow totem on Ge’er Cai’s body was originally just a tattoo. However, at that moment, the Golden Crows looked vivid and lifelike, their wings spread as though they were about to fly into the sky.
It was completely different from before!
“See! I told you it was the Golden Crow Sacred Flame!”
Jiluo Fu muttered to himself, “How can a human possibly have the Golden Crow Sacred Flames? We have fought with humans for thousands of years! I have never heard of a human activating the Golden Crow Sacred Flames!”
Tamu Chuan said in a low voice, “I was a bit suspicious just now and tested that kid. He said he was born with it!” Jiluo Fu remained silent. He only placed his hand on the neck of the Ge’er Cai.
Crack!
He directly broke the guy’s spine!
This was because he knew that at this state, Ge’er Cai would only suffer torture before dying!
It would be better to give him a quick death. With a solemn expression, he said in a deep voice, “We have to send someone to report this matter immediately! Golden Crow Sacred Flames! This is a major event! Don’t be too sad over Ge’er Cai’s death as well.”
Tamu Chuan nodded.
In fact… he did not even feel that sad… After all, they were at war. It was normal for people to die. Furthermore… it was his nephew who died and not his son…
