Chapter 263: Chapter 262: Meng Tianxuan: A Bunch of Earth Venerable Realm Ants! Do You Really Think I Won’t Self-Destruct!?

High above in the sky,

Everyone looked up, their gazes fixed on the figures in the sky as a grand, ethereal melody drifted down.

This scene felt strangely familiar...

Not long ago, these members of the Heaven-Blasting Gang had arrived in the very same way.

Now, the familiar scene was replaying itself. They shouted their names—"Heaven-Reaching," "Kai Shan," "Ping Hai"... Their resonant voices traveled for thousands of miles, a Sanskrit-like hum that echoed in the ears of countless citizens!

"More... more Venerable Realm experts..."

Liu Wushuang stammered, gazing up at the Venerables of the Heaven-Blasting Gang, too stunned to form a complete sentence, utterly shaken by the scene before her.

The figures were indistinct, enveloped in an ethereal golden light.

Those people high up in the sky were all at the Venerable Realm!

Seven more Venerable Realm experts had arrived!

’The Heaven-Blasting Gang’s foundation is this terrifying?’

Liu Wushuang was horrified, her heart pounding against her chest. ’Since when did the Venerable Realm become so common?’

A single Venerable Realm expert was an existence of immense prestige.

No matter where they went, they were beings revered by all. For an ordinary citizen, just seeing one was a once-in-a-lifetime blessing.

Not even the Venerable Alliance could gather so many at one of their assemblies!

But now, to save Qin Yang, the Heaven-Blasting Gang had actually dispatched a total of fourteen Top Level Venerables! All of them appearing in person!

’Impossible. Just how high is Qin’s innate talent?’

Liu Wushuang looked deeply at Qin Yang, her eyes filled with envy and even a hint of jealousy. For the Heaven-Blasting Gang to make such a huge move, it was far more than simply being protective of one of their own.

Countless seniors of the Heaven-Blasting Gang were coming one after another, willing to sacrifice themselves for Qin without a single word of complaint.

’How could this Qin Yang’s identity possibly be simple?!’

’Could it be that he’s the successor personally chosen by the Heaven-Blasting Gang Leader?’

Liu Wushuang frowned in thought.

’What Realm will he eventually reach?’

’Celestial Venerable? Divine Venerable?’

Or... an even higher Realm. Liu Wushuang didn’t dare to imagine. This young man was truly destined to become a Celestial Venerable.

...

In a nearby observation tower,

Elder Li gripped the window frame, his nails digging into the gritty sill. His eyes were wide as he stared intently at the commotion above. "The Heaven-Blasting Gang actually has so many Venerable Realm experts?"

He couldn’t believe it.

A full seven more Venerable Realm experts!

This shocking scene was completely overturning his worldview!

"So our Jianghai City has so many hidden masters?"

Elder Li said excitedly, "Let’s see who dares to say that shallow waters can’t nurture a true dragon now!"

Behind him, Li Qinghe’s eyes trembled slightly as she looked up at the Heaven-Blasting Gang, a smile playing on her lips.

"Just as I thought."

"I wasn’t wrong."

She watched the figures above. With the appearance of these seven Venerable Realm experts, her earlier suspicion was confirmed.

’This is definitely an act!’

’They’re all Clones from the sect, acting as bait!’

"Hehe, this sect is so devious..."

"To think they could play it like this..."

Li Qinghe covered her face, her smile like a blossoming flower, and excitedly tapped her toes on the ground.

"I love it!"

The vast golden light stretched for miles, casting a faint glow over the small coastal city of Jianghai. The buildings were bathed in gold, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

Countless citizens looked up at this scene, all turning towards the apartment building, but they could only make out the silhouettes within the golden clouds.

But even if they couldn’t see clearly, the sheer scale of the scene was enough for them to feel its grandeur and shock.

By the Star Martial Police Bureau’s armored vehicle.

Xia He leaned against the vehicle with a cigarette dangling from his lips, staring at the situation in the sky. He smoked it all the way down to the butt without noticing, only snapping out of it when a spark fell onto his clothes. He quickly patted it out.

"Holy shit! Holy shit!"

A moment later, after he straightened his clothes and looked back at the sky,

"My god! Old Qin’s background is way too powerful, isn’t it?"

He had been bragging about his family connections before, but looking at the situation now...

’So, Old Qin, you’re the one with the real connections!’

...

"Dammit!"

High above, the Venerable Alliance Leader pinched his own thigh, his eyes wide as he blurted out in shock, "How can there still be more Venerable Realm experts?!"

The number the Heaven-Blasting Gang had dispatched now far exceeded the Venerable Alliance’s!

Not even he could accomplish such a feat!

’They’re sending people one after another. Don’t tell me they get their Venerable Realm experts wholesale?!’

"I’ve seen it all now. I’ve really seen it all."

Meng Tianxuan watched the golden clouds drift until they hovered over Qin Yang’s head, shrouding him below. He didn’t dare to make the slightest move.

Under the gazes of a full seven Earth Venerables, if he moved, he would likely be executed on the spot.

He was truly panicking now.

...

...

North of the Jianghai City District.

In an undetectable location high in the sky.

Black mist spread like dark clouds drifting across the firmament.

The Nine Celestial Venerables lay hidden and motionless. After sensing the seven powerful auras, he silently gathered the black mist around him, concealing his presence even more carefully.

He was terrified of being discovered...

’This Heaven-Blasting Gang’s foundation is just too terrifying.’

The Nine Celestial Venerables opened his palm. The black mist in his hand swirled and gradually formed into small figures, recreating the battle scene above the apartment.

With this scrying Secret Technique, he could watch the battle from a distance.

"They can blast Meng Tianxuan into this state?"

The Nine Celestial Venerables murmured, finding it somewhat hard to believe.

’Logically speaking, those first seven Venerables should have been the Heaven-Blasting Gang’s limit, but now they’ve sent even more.’ He pondered, no longer daring to imagine the depths of the Heaven-Blasting Gang’s resources.

’Sending out fourteen Venerables in total, just to kill this one person.’

’Is the Earth Venerable Realm something they can achieve so easily?’

’Back then, when the two Earth Venerables, Vermilion Bird and White Tiger, died, I was heartbroken for half a month! But this Heaven-Blasting Gang sends them out casually as if they’re nothing special!’

"Terrifying. Absolutely terrifying."

But then, his thoughts shifted, and he began to gloat, looking toward the apartment with great interest. He floated cross-legged in mid-air and sneered coldly.

"Senior Brother Meng, it’s not that I won’t help you... You’re really in for it this time!"

...

...

High above the apartment building.

The golden clouds stretched on.

The unattainable phantoms descended. Qin Yang stood in the air with his arms crossed, golden clouds drifting above his head. They held spears and brandished swords, like a heavenly army.

"How about it, Alliance Leader?"

"Weren’t you enjoying another round of self-detonations?"

Qin Yang smiled faintly. He glanced up at the golden figures in the clouds above, flakes of golden light falling on his cheeks. He spread his hands and said, "Since I’m in a good mood, I’ll arrange as many as you want."

"Take your pick. Today, the Heaven-Blasting Gang wishes you Heaven and Earth’s Longevity!"

As his voice fell, the figures in the golden clouds responded by shaking their weapons. The grand music swelled, and in an instant, the sky brightened. The powerful phantoms floated across it, and a tyrannical killing intent swept through the air.

"Wish me longevity?"

Hearing this, Meng Tianxuan looked at the sea of cloudy figures. His body trembled instinctively, his legs shook, and he took a step back.

He was starting to feel regret.

’You call this wishing me longevity?’

’This is a bombardment from seven Venerable Realm experts!’

’Another round of this, and will I still be celebrating my longevity?’ 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

’It’ll shorten my life by half!’

What was even more terrifying was that he had no idea how many more of these Heaven-Blasting Gang members there were...

’First the junior, now the seniors... This Heaven-Blasting Gang is truly terrifying.’

Thinking of this, Meng Tianxuan didn’t dare to gamble any further.

He no longer had his Secret Treasure and was already heavily injured. If this continued, he would really be worn down to death by these madmen. He had to find a way to escape.

"Qin Yang, this Venerable one acknowledges that your cultivation has not been easy. Let’s end this here today."

Meng Tianxuan said in a deep voice, trying to maintain his composure, "Your Heaven-Blasting Gang has also lost seven Venerables. Your sect has suffered a great loss."

"Why don’t we just call it a day?"

As he spoke, he looked at the figures in the golden clouds and raised his only remaining arm in a palm-up gesture.

"Everyone, if we continue fighting, you won’t be able to kill this Alliance Leader anyway. Why add to the casualties? It would be better to disperse now and avoid any more pointless sacrifices."

As his voice fell, "Heh, the Heaven-Blasting Gang thanks you for your kind intentions,"

Qin Yang said with a slight smile, looking at the compromising Meng Tianxuan and launching straight into a taunt. "However, our gang’s principle has always been: what joy is there in life, what fear is there in death?"

Saying this, he looked the battle-scarred Meng Tianxuan up and down.

"Old man, since you haven’t had enough fun, I’ll be a good guy and see this through! I’ll make sure you have all the fun you can handle!"

His words had barely faded when an ancient voice echoed from the golden clouds, ringing out for a thousand miles.

"Nephew Qin Yang is right! Let this old one be the first!"

A Venerable from the Heaven-Blasting Gang stepped out of the golden clouds, ready for battle. He had barely taken half a step forward when the aura around him became chaotic.

The void faintly cracked, and fissures spread rapidly across his skin.

BOOM! BOOM!

The explosive sound reverberated across the sky.

This time, he didn’t waste any more words and charged directly at Meng Tianxuan.

"Still more?!"

Meng Tianxuan’s expression changed drastically. He frantically raised a hand to block with Star Force, but it was completely useless!

The Venerable leading the charge specialized in Body Techniques. With a single step that seemed to shrink the distance to an inch, he was instantly in front of Meng Tianxuan.

He arrived in a single step!

"Madman! You’re all a bunch of madmen!"

Seeing this, Meng Tianxuan raised his hand and pressed it against the Venerable’s head, trying to push him away, but his opponent locked onto him with even greater force.

He couldn’t move an inch!

"Alliance Leader, the Heaven-Blasting Gang wishes you Heaven and Earth’s Longevity!"

The next moment,

BOOM—

A terrifying explosion once again rocked the heavens!

The intense heat devoured Meng Tianxuan’s muscles and skin.

Smoke and dust filled the sky.

A moment later,

The Venerable Alliance Leader’s figure reappeared, and this time his state was even more gruesome! He had no skin left on his entire body; his muscles were turned inside out, and his pale white ribs were exposed beneath his abdomen.

But...

He still wasn’t dead!

"A bunch of madmen,"

Meng Tianxuan channeled his Star Force, barely maintaining his life force. Relying on the Star Force of the Celestial Venerable Realm, he forcefully began to regenerate.

Once one reached the Celestial Venerable Realm, the Law was strong enough to allow him to endure.

But simply toughing it out like this wasn’t a solution. No matter how much he regenerated, he couldn’t withstand the Heaven-Blasting Gang’s attrition tactics. His physical body would eventually collapse.

’I have to leave...’

As the thought crossed his mind, "Oh? You can still take it, huh?"

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow at Meng Tianxuan’s condition. He simply sent a telepathic message to the golden clouds, dispatching six more Venerable Realm experts to attack.

The sea of clouds parted to both sides.

A rumbling sonic boom echoed through the sky.

The next moment,

The remaining six Venerables from the Heaven-Blasting Gang streaked forward, heading straight for Meng Tianxuan. Their magnificent robes billowed as the sharp Sword Intent in their hands sliced through the howling wind.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Meng Tianxuan cursed angrily. As if flying into a rage from the humiliation, he also channeled his Star Force and charged forward. "Do you really think this Alliance Leader is a pushover?"

"A bunch of Earth Venerable Realm ants! Do you really think this Venerable one doesn’t dare to self-detonate?"
