Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 403 - 154: Earth Deity: What on Earth Are You!? (A 10,000-word mega - , please subscribe)_6
"Fart!" The middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes slapped the forehead of the house servant: "Do you think your master is blind? With such a bright moon in the sky, I can still see. Where would the thunder come from on such a cloudless night?"
In the streets and alleys of Guyuan County, some ordinary townspeople were also discussing in a fluster.
"Could it be that a mountain suddenly collapsed? Only a landslide could cause such a disturbance, right?"
"How could there be a landslide out of the blue, especially when there hasn’t been much rain recently!"
"Goodness... that just scared me to death."
"I remember just now, I seemed to see a very bright light, but before I could go out to take a look, it disappeared. Then, when the light vanished, the ground started to tremble, and I heard a very piercing loud noise."
"Hiss... Could it be that some demons and devils are causing trouble at night?"
"Ah? Don’t scare people at night!"
"That’s not necessarily true, maybe it really is some demons and devils?"
"Hiss!!!"
"..."
Apart from these cluelessly alarmed ordinary people, there were indeed some who had not slept all night and had witnessed that shocking scene. Among them... the most numerous were some of the soldiers patrolling the nighttime in Guyuan County.
"Boss, did you see it?" A soldier holding a long spear stood atop the city wall, staring dumbfounded into the distance.
The "boss" referred to by the soldier holding the long spear was a man dressed in plain armor.
The man casually replied, "My eyes are just fine!"
"Then... boss, do you know what that was just now?" the soldier with the long spear asked timidly.
The man in plain armor went silent for a moment.
Then, he responded, "Reason tells me that it might have been some unknown natural disaster... but my eyes tell me, it was very likely two cultivators fighting."
With those words, all the soldiers present were stunned.
Cultivators...
Fighting?
They heard... the man in plain armor continue, "So it sounds unbelievable, but I always feel... that’s just the way it is."
Even he wasn’t clear, what kind of monsters could these two cultivators be, capable of wreaking such havoc?
What level of cultivation and prowess did they possess?
Could they both be super old monsters who have lived for at least a thousand years?
Such exaggerated commotion.
The possibility...
Was quite high!
"You lot continue to hold this position! You, you, and you, come with me to check it out." After all, that was just his speculation. The soldier in plain armor commanded, "Only by going there to see with our own eyes can we know what happened."
"You and you, one of you go immediately to the house of the county magistrate and inform him of everything we saw. The other, go notify the imperial inspectors of Guyuan County."
"Do not make any mistakes! Understood?!"
"Yes!!!"
...
In a small Taoist Temple in Guyuan County, an old Taoist, not young in age, along with several of his disciples, was looking into the distance, dumbfounded and murmuring in shock: "If I’m not mistaken, that should be in the direction of the Earth Temple of Guyuan County, right?"
"Master, what happened to that Earth Temple?" One of the old Taoist’s disciples asked in terror and confusion.
The old Taoist replied, "I feel... the Earth Deity in that Earth Temple seemed... to have manifested!"
"What?" The disciples were all dumbfounded.
The Earth Deity manifested?
But why would such a manifestation look like this? Why would there be such a huge disturbance?
Seemingly discerning the doubts in the hearts of his disciples.
The old Taoist shook his head: "I do not know the reasons... Let’s go and see what is happening!"
"Yes, master."
In Guyuan County, those who dared to venture out and check the situation.
Were either military men.
Or cultivators.
Ordinary townspeople, on the other hand, did not dare to approach the direction of the commotion. Even some residents living closer to the disturbance had been so frightened that they left their homes to avoid an unwarranted disaster.
In this world of gods and mysteries, being overly tense and sensitive is sometimes not a bad thing.
At critical moments,
it can save lives!
...
Near the Earth Temple of Guyuan County.
The Earth Deity, who had just emitted an utterly terrifying beam of radiant divine light, didn’t show a hint of joy on that old face but rather revealed an expression of deep disbelief.
"He..."
"Can he really not die?"
"He..."
"Doesn’t he ever get hurt?"
The Earth Deity of Guyuan County could not fathom what kind of eerie being Fan Wu was, for, after that dreadful strike had fallen, in its understanding, Fan Wu should have been crushed to pieces. Even if Fan Wu were to defy the heavens, shouldn’t he be gravely injured?!
Yet to its utmost shock, it discovered that not only had Fan Wu remained unharmed, but he also burst forth with an aura so alarming that it made the Earth Deity’s heart tremble!
This aura,
made it fearful!
Yes,
even though it was reluctant to admit it, at this moment it had to acknowledge that the aura emanating from Fan Wu filled it with fear, and it felt a flicker of fright.
It was precisely because of this that it was so puzzled and disbelieving.
In its understanding, Fan Wu, a mere mortal, being able to suddenly erupt with a force that could almost match its own, was already a once in ten thousand years occurrence.
Such a cultivator, whether righteous or evil, should be able to make their mark on the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But it had not anticipated that Fan Wu was even more outrageous than it had imagined.
Another wave of Fan Wu’s strength burst forth.
This time...
even the Earth Deity of Guyuan County was shocked!
Even afraid!
The Earth Deity of Guyuan County watched with wide eyes as a terrifying phantom of an evil ghost appeared before its eyes. And suddenly, it realized that this ghostly phantom looked very familiar!
When it came to its senses, it couldn’t help but let out a startled cry, "What is your connection to the Water Virtue Star Lord? What is your relationship with the Heavenly Demons from beyond this realm? What is your connection to the True Martial Great Emperor?"
"What in the world are you?!" This question... it had repeated more than twice in the short span of less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The phantom from the Ghost-Killing Path had already grown close to thirty feet tall!
Fan Wu had activated the Ghost-Killing Path!
[Name: Fan Wu]
[Life: 155.79＋（＋30%）]
[Power: 155.79＋（＋40%）]
[Skills: Star Lodging Sword Technique lv2 (0/100), Ghost-Killing Path lv1 (0/50), Annihilation Finger lv1 (0/50)]
[Free Attribute Points: 0]
With the Ghost-Killing Path activated, Fan Wu’s [Power] and [Life] attributes underwent a transformation!
Under the dual enhancement,
his [Life] attribute scaled to 202.527 points!
[Power] attribute soared to 218.106 points!
Plus, the special enhancements provided to his combat capabilities by the unique items, the Demon-slaying Sword and the City God’s Command.
Now Fan Wu... presented the Earth Deity of Guyuan County
with an overwhelming sense of oppression!
The situation,
shifted!
