Chapter 461: Confucius: Not a Word…
Chen Ming stepped on the azure dragon while the Allheaven Stellar Array pressed down from above. The pressure on the giant was immense. He jumped on the skull and stabbed it.
But it didn’t go through. He was too thick-skulled!
Chen Ming entered through the eyes and slashed at the blue ghost fire!
It turned into Ming Qidian and the large halberd shrank and flew to him to defend.
Chen Ming didn’t miss this chance and released Hegemonic Immortal Sword!
Nine Year Cicada flashed through the ghost fire and split it apart!
The skeleton kneeled as it lost all power with the destruction of its ghost fire.
Chen Ming stood on the skull and laughed, “Kill me? Doesn’t the entire world want to already? What four Great Immortal Domains? What Crownless Assembly? They’re nothing.”
Xu San’er and Leng Xue saw the fear in each other’s eyes.
They left. Wounded as they were, fighting was meaningless. It was more sensible to recoup.
Three against Chen Ming, yet the later wounded them severely and even fell one!
They were weaker then he was and the best choice was to flee.
The four Domains and Crownless Assembly’s men watched the events unfold on Sacred Mountain, how domineering he was, how he killed with impunity.
Heavenly Dao took it upon itself to challenge the whole world’s Earth Immortals in his stead, yet he won.
Zhuo Qingyao and Wu Fu were equals. Wait, uh, yes, totally equal. Crownless Assembly’s four Paragons were cut down to two. They lost.
Wu Fu couldn’t deal with Chen Ming and Zhuo Qingyao together.
It looked like a loss too.
Zi Yu smiled on the Sky-crossing Bridge, “Come fish, take the bait…”
Zi Yu had his own pride. Just how he believed in his logic when teaching those children. Just how he helped the widow with the water since he believed in his strength. It was confidence.
He had no interest in attacking Chen Ming with others. He was confident he could kill him alone. This was also pride.
The four Domains turned despondent. He triggered the Wordless Upheaval. He had to have uncanny cultivation for that, one that borderlined the divine.
On a broke star, Big Dipper’s Star Lord and Nr. 0 panted, “Not even Wu Fu is enough. Is this all the Crownless Assembly planned?”
Nr. 0 laughed, “In the Crownless Assembly all are meticulous schemers.”
Big Dipper’s Star Lord was puzzled, “You have another contingency?”
“We only took it as a safety precaution. My junior brother is there.”
The blood on Chen Ming flowed back inside and, fifteen minutes later, all wounds closed. He landed, watching Zhuo Qingyao’s fight, Uh, a battle of equals.
Chen Ming wanted to join and end Wu Fu, but then compelling words came from the Sky-crossing Bridge, “Fellow Daoist, what was it you said just now, that the martial arts society had a rule? Duel?”
Chen Ming scanned his danger value: 5…
No way! How did this guy get here?
Is this the legendary 5 fighting power?(1)
When Chen Ming gave him a second one-over, he found his complete danger value, 5+(0)+(1).
The zero was the restricted value while the point was the extreme value.
What’s with him having an extreme value?
Chen Ming looked at his auras, to find only one.
‘Confucius: Not a Word Aura (Confucius is a prefix)
Description: Not a word of monsters and gods!(2)
Effect: unsullied ground.’
“Zi Yu said, “Leave them to their own devices and we mind ours. Let’s duel.”
Chen Ming walked on the Sky-crossing Bridge, “You’re not a cultivator?”
“No, I do not cultivate. I am a mortal. Master said it is not my time to cultivate yet.”
His aura is innate and never left the mountain to get others. Auras are only gained through specific tasks that need a lot of effort. Just how mine came from particular events.
Chen Ming asked, “I want to know. What makes you so confident you can fight me?”
Chen Ming didn’t believe an aura with a prefix would give enough power for a mortal to surpass the Earth Immortal realm’s power limit. His aura’s description was more than confusing, baffling.
Zi Yu replied, “I never thought of fighting anyone. I only follow Heavenly Dao’s will and came to kill you.”
Chen Ming chuckled, “Is this how it wants to kill me?”
“This is our choice. Cultivation means defying Heaven, which means all cultivators are against it. This, in turn, makes the road ahead arduous. At least, they walk on one, while you have taken a shaky bridge. Not only do you walk this path but you also want to steal what you come across. For instance, the item in the cauldron up ahead. It is called Untold Daos if I’m not mistaken.”
Chen Ming dismissed his words, “You won’t believe even if I say it, but here I go. I was conned into walking along this bridge.”
“Can you please return then, and not pass the tribulation?”
“I’m already on the bridge and the way back is shut. On a bridge, your path is set. If I turn around, would it be called a bridge any longer?”
Chen Ming was struck by a ridiculous idea, “You can’t be thinking of cultivating here and become immortal in one step, right?”
“That’s for later. If I am to cultivate, I shall only do it when I’m the strongest. Now is not the time, however. ”
“I’ve seen crazy, but you are the first who is even more so than me!
“You’re beginning to pique my curiosity!”
Zi Yu watched Chen Ming from ten zhang away, “What stirred your interest?”
“If a smooth-skinned, elegant and charming young Daoist like you can handle my attacks.”
Zi Yu lifted the fish string. It broke the water and the red carp in the river flew out for six feet in the air trying to catch it, only to splash back into the river.
(1) Its complete form is ‘trash with 5 fighting power’. It is a reference to Dragon Ball Z when Raditz got to Earth and killed a villager. It means you’re weak to the point of idiocy.
(2) From Analects of Confucius. It means one should choose the human path and not worship supernatural beings.
