Thirty Thousand Pounds Giant Dao
Just as he had predicted, this elder would be the trickiest to deal with. His speed and aura completely surpassed Meng Qi.
But Yang Chen also knew that he had no other way out. Facing him straight on was the only way and he would have to rely on his physique.
âWhere are you running off to?!â The elder waved his black sleeves and his seemingly cloudy eyes gleamed as a surge of True Yuan rose within his body.
In the next second, his hands glowed in yellow and a five feet long ancient-looking Mo Dao appeared in his hand!
Yang Chen was astonished to see an artifact in this form for the same time and at the same time, it kept his guard up.
Although the explosives that were buried in the mountain were still being set off, the rumbling sound didnât seem to affect the elder at all as he swung the Mo Dao to create a ten feet wide True Yuan barrier around the Meng clan members!
With this, the explosives were unable to inflict any harm upon them, nor would the crumbling building fall upon them.
âStay in the barrier and youâll be safe! Do not move!â
The Meng clan members were relieved and they felt fortunate to have the elder with them or else they wouldâve died from the explosions or the collapsing building!
Meng Qi and the two other elders, Meng Tian and Meng Wei opened up their protective barrier as they surrounded Yang Chen.
âBold of you to use tricks to aid your escape. Youâve overestimated your capabilities! Have a taste of my âThirty Thousand Pounds!â
The elder scoffed and raised his Mo Dao to throw an overhand cut towards Yang Chen!
Yang Chen cursed internally when he realized the elder couldnât care less about Meng Yueâs safety. The elder knew he wouldnât kill Meng Yue since the Liu couple was still being held hostage!\nOn the other hand, the Meng clan members were frightened. It would be a challenge to find another suitable heir from the rest of the descendants if Meng Yue were to die!
Even though they feared for Meng Yue, they had no right to stop the elder, especially since he had a higher rank than Meng Qi. Not even Meng Kaiyuan dared to stop him.
As the yellow True Yuan got closer to Yang Chen, he wanted to push Meng Yue in front of him as his human shield but he still needed her. The thought of dodging came to him but his speed was lacking. Left with no choice, Yang Chen extended one hand to receive the Mo Dao!
A heavy loud sound was heard accompanied by flying debris amidst the explosions.
From where Yang Chen was standing, a two-meter deep crater was formed and the remaining part of the hotel behind him was split into halves!
This wasnât the most shocking part yet.
Yang Chen stood still in the sunken ground and his hand was holding onto the tip of the Mo Dao?!
Even the elder who was holding onto the grip was astonished. He couldnât understand the scene that was unfolding in front of him. Was this manâs body made out of heavy iron?!
No, heavy iron couldnât bear the strength of âThirty Thousand Poundsâ!
Yang Chenâs hand was in pain and he could feel his skin and flesh being torn apart. Even so, he was never afraid of pain, being used to it ever since he was young!
The elder sensed this too. Although Yang Chen managed to catch his Mo Dao barehanded, his hand was trembling and a trail of blood was dripping from his arm.
âHmph, I donât know where you cultivated such wicked technique to get such a tough physique but itâs not enough to stop my âThirty Thousand Poundsâ!â\nThe elder sneered and summoned his True Yuan to channel another yellow light onto the Mo Dao!
Right at that moment, Yang Chen could feel the artifact getting a hundred times heavier!
The ground beneath him continued to sink and Yang Chen felt as if his tendons and bones were cracking. The pressure caused his veins to pop!
âBrat, hand Meng Yue over. You canât last any longer with one hand.â
Meng Qi arrived right outside the crater and snickered, âYouâre facing Elder Meng Kuo who has reached the Kui Water-stage in the Six Frost Water tribulation. He can kill you with the blink of an eye.â
Yang Chen gasped internally. He had fallen for their trick. Had he known that the Meng clan had so many masters hidden, he wouldnât have burned their ancestral hall!
What kind of background did they have? How did they manage to keep so many masters hidden in the dark?
Could it be that there are other hidden forces in the world?
Yang Chen could kill them within minutes if he chose to use his cultivation, but that would also give Chaos a chance to take control of his body. He wouldnât dare to take the risk.
âHey, are you still going to hold up? Your right arm will break if this goes on.â Meng Qi sneered.
Technically, Yang Chen wouldnât be able to resist if they rushed down to take Meng Yue away from him but Meng Qi still held a grudge against Yang Chen for the previous humiliation. Heâd rather watch Yang Chen lose his arm!
Yang Chen saw right through him and he cackled, âItâs not the end yet.â
âHeh, youâre stubborn,â Meng Qi smirked, âElder Meng Kuoâs Mo Dao can gather the earthâs spiritual power from the cosmic orbit and the weight youâre holding is just a small part of it. Do you really think youâd stand a chance against us?!â\nMeng Kuo was losing his patience. Though he didnât wish to hurt Meng Yue, her life really wasnât important to him. As one of the ancestors, losing a few descendants wouldnât hurt as long as their bloodline was passed on.
âIâll ask you one last time! Will you return our treasure?!â Meng Kuo raised his voice.
Yang Chenâs face was beet red. He could feel the earthâs spiritual power gathering in the Mo Dao again. The pressure on his hand was building and it felt as though he was lifting a small hill!
âKill meâŚif you can!â
Meng Kuoâs expression changed and his eyes glinted ferociously, âSuch a stubborn young man, as expected of the descendant of a military clan. Sadly, youâre too tactless!â
Having said so, the Mo Dao in his hands seemed to have grown and the tip became thicker and heavier as more earth spiritual power was channeled into it via his True Yuan. The tip of the Mo Dao was glowing gold!
âThirty Thousand Pounds Giant Dao, Fall of Mountain Tai!â
Meng Kuo roared. The Mo Dao shook and just like a giant beast, it pressed Yang Chenâs body deep into the ground!
Yang Chenâs right hand lost grip of the Mo Dao and it pressed right onto his arm and shoulder, keeping him firmly rooted to the ground!
Yang Chen hurled from the pain. He wouldâve been sliced into halves if it wasnât for his impenetrable physique.
The ground could no longer withstand the force, collapsing with a rumbling sound. The granite layer also cracked, deepening the crater for another ten meters!
The explosives were fully ignited and the tattered hotel stood tall on top of the now bare mountain.
The three elders furrowed their eyebrows at Yang Chen who was underground. It was unimaginable that Yang Chen was still alive after that immense force.\nThe rest of the Meng clan members were scared witless, worried about Meng Yue.
After all, to them, Meng Yueâs life was worth more than the Liu couple.
âFather, heâs already underground. Will Yueâer be fine?â Meng Que asked with a worried expression.
âCalm down. Look at the eldersâ expressions. The bastard is still alive. Heâs using Yueâer as a hostage and if anything happens to Yueâer, the Liu couple will die too. He knows that well. So he would actually protect Yueâer.â Meng Kaiyuan analyzed the situation.
âBut will she get hurt?â
âShut up! The elders know what they are doing!â Meng Kaiyuan reprimanded him.
Bai He was amazed, âWhat kind of cultivation technique does he have? His physique is inhumane.â
Meng Kuoâs face was dark as he looked into the crater. His sight wasnât clear but by controlling the Thirty Thousand Pounds with his True Yuan, he could feel that Yang Chen was still trying his best to resist it.
This displeased him. Why wasnât this young man dead yet? He didnât even have any cultivation!\n
