Genius Daddy in the City Chapter 428 - Master Xiegu’s Pride!

Chapter 428: Master Xiegu’s Pride!

When Yu Lian had just said the three words ‘Mad Southern Ye’, Master Xiegu, who was on the heaven altar, glanced at the people in a condescending manner. He then looked at Wu Yan from Lingnan and said in disdain, “Wu Yan, since you’re upset about me, I’ll give you a chance to fight me now. Get up here!”

“Let’s do it. Do you think I’m afraid of you?!” Wu Yan scoffed and waved his sleeve. He leaped over 200 to 300 stone steps by creating a gust of wind beneath his feet. He landed on the heaven altar.

The Wu family of Lingnan, and Master Xiegu had always held a grudge against each other after someone in the Wu family had died many years ago and Xiegu had dug out the corpse after it was buried. He had then refined the corpse into a zombie.

The family had been fighting against Master Xiegu for years. However, Master Xiegu always won. Wu Yan put in the effort for many years in order to regain his dignity today.

The people could not help but exclaim after seeing him flying and leaping hundreds of steps out. They stared at him without blinking.

“Is that qinggong, whereby he’s walking on air?!”

“Whoa, I bet Wu Yan has stepped into Illuminating G.o.d too!”

“It must be. No wonder he has a change of att.i.tude to be fighting Master Xiegu in public!”

Even Zhang Xuanqing from Dragon Tiger Mountain, who was standing aside, secretly nodded. To Spell Masters, everyone who was not on Illuminating G.o.d was an ant!

“Wu Yan, I can’t believe that even you’ve achieved Illuminating G.o.d.” Master Xiegu’s smile froze as shock flashed through his eyes.

“I bet you didn’t see this coming, Xiegu! I should thank you for my achievement. Don’t worry. I’ll return all of the humiliation that you’ve dished out on my family today!” Wu Yan grinned and performed hand seals. As everyone watched in shock, his clothes fluttered despite there not being any wind as if he was among a strong gust of wind.

Many Spell Masters’ pupils shrunk when they saw black energy gathering toward Wu Yan from heaven and earth. It was demonic energy that was formless. That was why his clothes fluttered.

Bang!

A geomantic compa.s.s appeared in Wu Yan’s hand. He stomped his foot and released a low thunderous rumble deep in his throat. He puffed a gust of white breath onto the geomantic compa.s.s, creating a loud thud that shocked everyone.

The demonic energies gathered toward the geomantic compa.s.s in his hand. The black and white Yin and Yang fishes on the compa.s.s shook, appearing to be alive. At the same time, eight black threads shot out of the eight trigrams on the compa.s.s and charged at Master Xiegu like a spider web.

“I-is that a real magical tool?”

The people who were watching beneath were so shocked that they could not speak. They stared at the geomantic compa.s.s in Wu Yan’s hand without blinking.

The siblings, Yu Lian and Yu Lei, as well as Zhizhi watched with their eyes wide open as if they had discovered a new land. They had never seen such a thing, hence they were secretly startled.

Even Yuan Qitai had a solemn expression. “I-is that Lingnan Wu family’s inherited treasure, the magical Demon Gathering Compa.s.s? I can’t believe that Wu Yan brought it here.”

Legend had it that the Lingnan Wu family had a geomantic compa.s.s that could gather demonic energy. The geomantic compa.s.s was a killing tool that could activate the demonic energy on the geomantic compa.s.s to set up a formation against enemies.

“Wu Lan, I can’t believe that you brought the Demon Gathering Compa.s.s here!”

Master Xiegu squinted and smirked in disdain. “So what? It’s a fact that you have a lower cultivation base than me. The most you can do is to release 30% of the Demon Gathering Compa.s.s’s power! Moreover, you’re not the only one who owns a magic tool!”

A black bell appeared in his hand as soon as he was done speaking. It was approximately the size of a palm with a talisman pasted on it, and it exuded a dense aura.

“Wu Yan, I’ll let you know today that you’re useless!” Master Xiegu was approaching the eight threads on Wu Yan’s geomantic compa.s.s as soon as he was done speaking. As he charged out, a ring was emitted from the black bell in his hand. An ear-piercing sound was heard as if there was an evil spirit shrieking from within.

At the same time, a black snake flew out of the bell and attacked Wu Yan.

Bang!

The black snake and the eight threads collided as the ground shook intensely. The crowd looked again when they finally managed to stand still. They saw Wu Yan retreat many steps back with his geomantic compa.s.s, then he spat a mouthful of blood out.

Meanwhile, not only did nothing happen to Master Xiegu, but he proceeded to charge at Wu Yan. The black bell in his hand grew a few folds bigger. Eventually, it left his hand after it transformed into a temple bell that was about to cover Wu Yan.

Bang!

Wu Yan did not have time to dodge at all. He was covered in the temple bell that had morphed from the black bell. The battle ended quickly like that.

The crowd was dumbstruck.

Never had they thought that Wu Yan would be no match for Master Xiegu although both of them were Illuminating G.o.d powerhouses who possessed magical tools.

“H-he’s a G.o.d!” Zhizhi looked at Master Xiegu blankly.

Yu Lian and Yu Lei were also dumbstruck. What they just saw refreshed their perspective of the world once again.

“Xiegu has won the battle!” Zhang Xuanqing from Dragon Tiger Mountain announced the result. He took a good look at the temple bell, appearing to be in deep thought. He then shook his head lightly and said, “The winner has been announced. Xiegu, let Wu Yan out now!”

When Master Xiegu performed a hand seal, the temple bell hovered in the air and shrunk. It eventually shrunk into the black bell from before, which Master Xiegu put away in his sleeve. He then looked at Wu Yan. His face was so pale at that moment as if he had just experienced something horrifying.

“How was it, Wu Yan? Now, do you know you’re not my match? You should be aware that I deserve to be called No. 1 in Tiannan’s spell world!” Master Xiegu was extremely proud.

Wu Yan forced a smile. “Xiegu, you sure are good at hiding your skills. Mad Southern Ye wouldn’t be your match even if he’s well-versed in spells. I surrender!”

“It was really a G.o.d-like technique!” Yu Lian bit her lip and said, “I bet even the No. 1 of the ancient martial arts world, Mad Southern Ye that Master Yuan mentioned, can’t fight such a G.o.dly technique. It seems like spells are more powerful!”

…

In the underground river beneath the sinkhole, a black stone appeared in Ye Chen’s hand. It was approximately the size of an egg, and there was golden tinder moving within it. The tinder was approximately the size of a fingernail though it seemed like it would go out anytime.

“It’s really the Golden Fire Crystal, and the fire looks like divine fire. This trip sure is rewarding!” He could not help but feel a little excited no matter how calm he tried to be.

There were many types of fire in the world. Ordinary fire for cooking was mortal fire. There was also coal-seam fire, True Samadhi Fire, spiritual fire, and mutated fire.

There must be combustibles for those fires to remain burning for thousands of years. Besides that, energy must be provided. Otherwise, they would go out as time went by.

However, there was a fire that was eternal. It was the divine fire!

Divine fire was created naturally, and it was eternal. It was the tinder for all types of fire in the world apart from also being the purest fire. No matter whether it was True Samadhi Fire, mortal fire, or spiritual fire, they originated from divine fire.

“But how can there be a Golden Fire Crystal in his body?” Ye Chen looked at the body before him and frowned slightly. He then checked the body and found a green jade token in his pouch, as well as an old note written on a piece of silk. He also discovered an ancient painting in the cus.h.i.+on.
