Chapter 684 Falling Sun (1)
Song Shi tapped again, and the fireball shot towards the enemy like a cannonball. With a bang, it formed a large-scale explosion.
The latter had narrowly escaped death and had lost a leg and a hand from the explosion. He was covered in blood and panted repeatedly, “You can’t kill me. I’m a Numbered Elder of the Black Wind Sect. If I die, the Black Wind Sect will definitely take revenge. You won’t be able to withstand it!”
“It’s fine. After you die, I’ll destroy Black Wind Sect.”
Song Shi appeared out of thin air and waved his hand, completely erasing it.
Cao Zongwan and the others rushed over and happened to see Song Shi end the battle.
The huge pit made them look shocked, and the melted soil and steam around them made them even more shocked. What kind of terrifying attack could cause such power?
“There’s nothing else. Continue to rest.”
Song Shi waved his hand and lowered his head to pack his spoils of war. “I have something on and have to go out for a while. Please fill up the pit here.”
With that said, he left with some things and headed for Black Wind Sect.
He was not joking just now. He was really prepared to strike first. There was no need to wait for others to attack.
On the way, he took out the spoils of war of an enemy he did not know the name of. He picked out a bottle of Essence Qi recovery medicine and held it in his hand.
“Use this medicine as the price to increase my physical attributes.”
He muttered in his heart and touched the Rule Force to begin a unique process. The pill in his hand slowly disappeared, and Song Shi’s body emitted a light as his aura continued to strengthen.
The increase this time was not big, but the side effects brought about by the increase were very small. It was just that his body was hot and his blood and Qi fluctuated violently.
“That’s exactly what I did.”
Song Shi clenched his fists. He was rather excited and filled with a sense of accomplishment.
He only used the rules and did a little interference to obtain ten times the return. It was much better than normal cultivation.
He continued to try and divert his attention along the way. At noon, Song Shi arrived at Black Wind Sect.
It was already midsummer. The scorching sun was high in the sky, and the scorching and dazzling sunlight shone down from above, making the ground look like a roasted furnace. It was steaming hot, so much so that many plants looked listless.
However, this scene was not suitable for the Black Wind Sect in the depths of the mountains. The surrounding area was already so hot that people were sweating. Black Wind Mountain was still cold, like a natural summer place.
In Black Wind Mountain, among the sparse trees, there was a green jade square in an area that outsiders could not see. At this moment, figures were gathering. There were nearly a hundred of them, sitting cross-legged on the ground and bathing in the sunlight.
There were more than a hundred of them and they did not look old. All of them were a little pale as if they had not seen the sun for a long time.
Under the scorching sunlight, they closed their eyes and meditated to cultivate. Their Genuine Qi protected their left and right rhythmically, resisting the hot air.
“What you have to do is to make your Yin Genuine Qi unafraid of the heat. This scorching sun is your whetstone.”
Outside the crowd, a white-haired old man stood with his hands behind his back. He was thin and was talking to everyone.
This person did not look special. He had white hair and a face full of wrinkles, and he seemed to be an ordinary old man. However, if one looked at other aspects, the light around his body was dim, as if he was in a shadow. There was a mysterious force that swallowed the scorching sunlight, causing him to instantly become a little strange and unfathomable.
Among the young cultivators, many of them stopped with sweat on their foreheads. When they saw that the old man’s body was pitch-black and emitted a cold aura, they revealed looks of admiration and discussed softly.
“As expected of the Technique Imparting Elder. Our Genuine Qi can’t even avoid the heat, but the Technique Imparting Elder can affect the environment instead.”
“Of course. The Technique Imparting Elder is a grandmaster. There aren’t many of them in the entire sect. I heard that the strength of the Technique Imparting Elder can be ranked in the top five.”
“If I can reach the level of an elder, how glorious will I be? How many people will dare to provoke me then?”
“I don’t expect my strength to reach the level of a Grandmaster. If I can reach the level of a high-level Grandmaster, I can live an exceptionally comfortable life outside. Just like the illegitimate son of the Fourth Elder. I heard that his aptitude is very ordinary, but the Fourth Elder found a way to advance to the Grandmaster Realm. Now, I can be a bandit and live a carefree life…”
As the few of them spoke, they talked about themselves with yearning in their eyes.
When a disciple beside him heard these words, he could not help but show off, “Hehe, you don’t know, right? That Fourth Elder’s illegitimate son has already been killed.”
“Is it true? Who in the nearby area doesn’t know that that guy is under the protection of our Black Wind Sect?”
“How can it be fake? Yesterday, the Fourth Elder left with his men to take revenge with a murderous aura. Now, he has probably dealt with his enemies.”
This news made many people’s ears twitch, wanting to listen.
Life in the mountains was boring and there was not much news. There were not many changes. Such shocking news was enough for them to discuss for a few days.
Whoosh!
A black wind suddenly blew over and threw a few disciples who were discussing away.
“Hmph, you’re discussing the private matters of the other elders in front of me. Are you treating me as a decoration?”
The elder’s expression was cold. “If you continue to gossip, I’ll let you go to the Black Wind Cave to experience the cold wind for a few months.”
These words made all the disciples shrink back and immediately shut up. They even revealed looks of fear. It was obvious that the black wind was not a good place.
“Hurry up and cultivate. If you don’t reach the standard, go down the mountain.”
The Technique Imparting Elder was impatient. Some people had average talent and poor perseverance. If they could not calm down, how could they have any achievements? What Grandmaster?
Ridiculous!
Grandmasters were the pursuit of many martial artists, but how many of them could easily do it?
Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads and was about to enter a cultivation state again when the sunlight above their heads suddenly became much brighter. Some of their sweat evaporated.
The cultivation elder sensed a terrifying aura approaching. His expression changed and he hurriedly looked up.
The original sun was constantly becoming larger as if it was falling from the sky. As it approached, the light became stronger and stronger, and the temperature quickly increased.
The air distorted under the scorching light. The disciples cultivating in the square opened their eyes again. Some of their sweat was evaporating. They felt like they were being burned by flames, and their skin turned red.
The blinding light made their eyes close quickly, but they were shocked. “What’s going on? Why did the sun suddenly become so hot today?”
“Why do I feel like the sun is falling?”
“This is not a normal sign!”
The Elder narrowed his eyes and said in shock, “Whose method is this? It’s actually so terrifying. I wonder if the Sect Protection Array can be defended.”
In the next moment, the falling sun collided with an invisible barrier. Then, a terrifying rumbling sound spread in all directions, shaking the heavens and earth, forming circles of ripples in the air before melting the transparent barrier.
