Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 399 - 154: Earth Deity: What on Earth Are You!? (A 10,000-word mega - , please subscribe)_2
If it were truly the Earth God’s manifestation, wouldn’t that be a great blessing?
But could such a startling scene really be a blessing?
Or is it a disaster?
The commotion was comparable to a dragon turning over beneath the earth! Those clouds of dust rising to the sky were akin to a terrifying sandstorm, imposing a tremendous sense of oppression on the common folk.
Their fear climbed uncontrollably throughout their bodies.
It inflicted great terror on both their bodies and spirits.
"Hey! Hide! Don’t come out!" As they were overwhelmed, a voice came from not far away.
That was none other than Yun Jiuqing.
Seeing a few common folk running out of their homes, Yun Jiuqing, with good intentions, hurriedly called out to warn them.
But seeing them stunned, Yun Jiuqing knew they were struck dumb.
After all, the battle between Daoist Priest Fan and the Earth Deity of Guyuan County...
was truly astonishing.
Even she, who often followed around the great Fan Wu, was shocked, let alone the common folk.
This was understandable.
Inevitable.
Yun Jiuqing could not simply watch the commoners be killed by the aftershocks, could she? She wasn’t that cold-hearted. Although she had killed people before, it did not mean her heart had turned cold.
She had to take Old Blue Ox and run over to the common folk, her mouth imbued with mana as she called out, "Wake up!"
The common folk, lost in their stupefaction, were immediately roused by her cry.
Facing their puzzled, astonished, or frightened gazes, Yun Jiuqing didn’t wait for them to speak first. She immediately said, "This place is too dangerous. You all should get as far away from here as you can—five miles... no, make it ten miles!"
"You should also warn the other nearby residents to quickly leave this place of trouble! Because this place has become the fighting ground of Daoist Priest Fan and the Earth Deity!"
Seeing their befuddled expressions, Yun Jiuqing knew they hadn’t understood.
She took a deep breath.
Yun Jiuqing gravely corrected herself, "There are fierce demons and devils causing havoc ahead. If you continue to stay here, you will die without a place to be buried! Do you understand?!"
This change of phrasing made the commoners finally understand.
Demons!
Devils!
Death!
Once these keywords were combined, they could still stir fear in these people, also allowing them to somewhat understand the reason behind such a huge commotion ahead.
"Thank you so much, immortal lady, for the warning! Thank you so much, immortal lady, for the warning!" one of the Guyuan County commoners, flusteredly pulling his wife and son along, did not understand what Daoist Priest Fan meant, but he did understand what devils meant!
He did not doubt the authenticity of Yun Jiuqing’s method after all, how could such a huge commotion be faked?
Watching them panic and flee into the distance.
Yun Jiuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned back to look at the battlefield where Fan Wu and the Earth Deity were clashing, the disturbance there growing larger and larger. Even here, she could feel the ground vibrating faintly. Yun Jiuqing felt her mouth go dry, and she unconsciously swallowed her saliva.
"Lucky I had the foresight to leave that place early... Otherwise, me, Old Blue Ox, and His Highness the Prince of Nanjun would have turned into several lumps of minced meat, right?"
"Those members of the local Astrological Bureau, though they seem a bit dazed, seem to have taken cover from afar."
"..."
...
On the other side.
The battle between Fan Wu and the Earth Deity of Guyuan County had in a brief moment moved beyond mutual probing and directly entered an intense, heated stage of combat.
Both sides were unleashing astonishingly powerful moves, flattening the ground for hundreds of meters around them.
The nearby flowers and trees had long been uprooted entirely.
The land beneath their feet had been ravaged beyond recognition.
The scene was truly frightening.
With a wave of the Earth Deity of Guyuan County’s wooden staff, it repelled the Demon-slaying Sword slashed by Fan Wu, the blade almost grazed Its ear. Even though the blade did not touch Its body, Its ear still felt a slight stinging sensation.
It greatly feared the Demon-slaying Sword in Fan Wu’s hand, for as an Earth Deity of this land...
It certainly knew the sword’s horrifying power well.
In Its eyes... although Fan Wu had already unleashed power close to Its own, there was still a slight gap. It thought this slight gap was the difference between It as a righteous god and the other as a mere mortal.
However, this mere mortal, wielding the Demon-slaying Sword, had actually managed to bridge that gap.
This made the Earth Deity of Guyuan County extremely frustrated!
It, an Earth Deity, had actually been fought to a draw by a mere mortal, and after over a dozen exchanges, neither had won!
To It, this was an insult!
Damn it!!!
In the Earth Deity of Guyuan County’s eyes, flush with divine light, a thick intent to kill flashed. After temporarily forcing Fan Wu back several steps with a hit, the golden ingot It held in Its left hand was tossed high into the air, the massive golden ingot thrown up into the sky.
The golden ingot emitted a blinding light, and its golden radiance shone in all directions.
In the distance, members of the Astrological Bureau touched by the gold light from the golden ingot suddenly found their consciousness blanking out!
