Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 449 - 162: The Divine Envoy of the Great Revered One! Fan Wu, Who is Despised to the Bone by the Great Revered One! (A 10,000-word - , Please Subscribe)_4
"It’s a pity that in this desolate wasteland, there really aren’t any animals with which I can communicate," a somewhat tall and thin silhouette appeared at the entrance of Rat Immortal Cave without anyone knowing when it arrived.
Then, his voice continued to rise, "I had only sent it to scout the situation, but it was unexpectedly caught in an instant."
"Had I not heard that scream, I reckon it would have already been crushed to death by you, fellow Daoist."
At this point,
The man chuckled and inquired, "This little crow, though it has followed me for many years, has never harmed a person. Hmm... at least, it has never killed a person. So, could you, fellow Daoist, perhaps show some mercy and return it to me?"
Only then did the crowd see, just as the Rat Bride had said, that this person was a bald man without a single strand of hair.
He looked utterly ordinary, the type who, if he didn’t have such a shining bald head, could be thrown into the street and presumably go unnoticed by passersby.
His stature appeared quite tall and thin, although not as robust as Fan Wu, but still a head taller than Xing Fengzi.
The aura emanating from this person
was eerily unsettling,
terrifying!
At least... Xing Fengzi was already feeling tense, he could clearly sense that the aura emitted by this tall and thin man was far stronger than the Rat Immortal they had previously encountered.
Was this man before them the Brigade General under The Great Revered One, as mentioned by the Rat Bride?
And could he be the Divine Envoy spoken of by the beguiled villagers by the riverbank earlier?
At the same time,
Seeing that Fan Wu had not loosened his grip on the captive crow, the faint smile on the tall and thin man’s face receded slightly. Shortly after, his voice continued, "As expected of Daoist Fan Wu, who has dared to anger The Great Revered One on multiple occasions!"
The tall and thin man’s voice carried a hint of emotion, "An ordinary cultivator, intimidated by my presence, would have likely loosened their grip already."
His eyes fell on Fan Wu, narrowing slightly.
"You don’t think I’m as worthless as those weaklings, do you?"
The tall and thin man stated, "When The Great Revered One had not yet reached the heights He has today, I was already... following by His side. I offered Him counsel, gathered soldiers for Him, recruited believers for Him, and eradicated heretics for Him."
"I wonder if you, Daoist Fan Wu, being from Qiulong County, have heard of Xuan Shizi? As it happens, he was a disciple I took half a year ago..."
"It’s just a pity... I hadn’t had the chance to teach him any substantial skills, only a method to invoke The Great Revered One’s descent, which, once used, would take his life."
"Then, he encountered you, and soon after, the disciple I had just mentioned was extinguished by you."
Fan Wu, of course, knew of Xuan Shizi.
Because his first real encounter with a deity-like figure such as The Great Revered One stemmed from a conflict with Xuan Shizi, who was possessed by The Great Revered One in a divine descent, which led to a fight with him.
After which he incurred the wrath of The Great Revered One.
Since then, the various grudges between them became like a stubborn pool of silt, seemingly impossible to wash away,
impossible to cleanse.
An outright enmity had formed.
"So what?" Fan Wu tightened his grip on the strange crow slightly, putting some pressure. Once more, the crow cried out in his hand, and he asked, "Do you seek revenge for your disciple? Do you seek revenge for The Great Revered One whom you worship?"
The tall and thin figure standing at the entrance of Rat Immortal Cave once again drew out a cordial smile, saying with a grin, "Daoist Fan Wu guessed right, from the moment you desecrated The Great Revered One..."
"You... have become the mortal enemy of us, these people, as well as these bizarre creatures, and also these evil spirits!"
"I didn’t expect to encounter you here, but since I have, I don’t plan to let you leave alive," said the tall and thin figure with a smile that hid a knife-like tone and a touch of murderous intent, "before Daoist Fan Wu, you are scattered to the winds..."
"I can share with you my title; Daoist Fan Wu, you may address me as— Divine Envoy of The Great Revered One."
"After all, it’s been such a long time, I’ve long forgotten my real name."
Having said this,
He flashed a chill in his eyes, "That rather intuitive little crow can serve as a burial gift for you, Daoist Fan Wu!"
No sooner had Divine Envoy finished speaking
than he suddenly raised his arms.
Within the wide sleeves of his arms, something terrifying seemed to be about to emerge.
"Nether Fire!"
Divine Envoy murmured softly, "Burn them all to ashes, humans, rats, even this cave, don’t leave anything behind."
In an instant!
A mass of pitch-black terrifying flames burrowed out of the wide sleeves, and in the blink of an eye, these black flames blocked the entrance of Rat Immortal Cave. The searing heat immediately caused the cave walls around Rat Immortal Cave to ignite into an orange-red molten state.
Those pitch-black and intense flames, like ravenous wild beasts, surged wildly into Rat Immortal Cave! Seemingly seeking to fill the cave with fire!
Rat Bride was the first to panic!
It hurriedly attempted to flee back, as it distinctly sensed an imminent threat of death from these completely pitch-black roaring flames, a threat that terrified it into making a quick escape.
