Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 748 - 213: Fist Dominates Mountains and Rivers! The Anomaly of the Destiny Coffin! (10,000-Word Mega - !)_3
Its huge mouth had already widened to the extreme in an exaggerated fashion.
Massive amounts of blood spurted out from its mouth, while its three single eyes and one pair of compound eyes were glaring so widely that their gaze started to blur, and its body trembled violently.
The enormous body sharply retreated to one side, and in the blink of an eye, it collided with a nearby mountain range.
In an instant, it had collapsed a good portion of that mountain range!
The shattered body of the Great Immortal Locust became embedded in the mountain’s body, much like a Buddha statue carved into the mountain itself.
It no longer moved!
Everything fell into dead silence! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
[Congratulations, you have successfully killed the "Blood Gu Sect Traitor, Locust Immortal Wizard," and have earned Free Attribute Points: 6 points!!]
Just a bit short of breaking through the two hundred [Power] attribute, the killing of such a formidable demon only yielded six Free Attribute Points, which just goes to show that as Fan Wu’s own strength continued to grow, these fellows were contributing less and less to his gains.
One could only win by quantity, by dealing with more demons of this caliber, it would still amount to a considerable harvest.
As gentle breezes blew past, scattering the dust around, Fan Wu had long since disappeared from the scene, for he had already left the place.
The tremendous commotion here naturally attracted the attention of many.
Though this place was somewhat remote and away from densely populated areas,
there were still a few households living not too far away.
Among them,
was a Taoist Temple of the Great Yan Dynasty.
This Taoist Temple was not particularly large, and the Taoists inside were not especially numerous, totaling only about a dozen or twenty people. Furthermore, the majority of these Taoists were merely practitioners of martial arts and not qualified to cultivate, with only a minority being actual Cultivators with the proper roots for cultivation.
The loud disturbance near the Taoist Temple naturally drew the attention of these Taoists.
And it was not just a matter of attracting attention — the commotion was enough to send them into a flurry of panic.
Because—
The mountain that the Great Immortal Locust collided with after being punched away by Fan Wu was the very mountain where this Taoist Temple was located! The Immortal had crashed into the north side of the mountain, while the Taoist Temple rested on the south side.
The violent trembling of the entire mountain led to the catastrophic collapse of the Taoist Temple, with its halls and pavilions collapsing outright.
The Taoists and the Incense Guests staying at the temple hurriedly ran to an open area for safety.
When the severe tremors finally ceased,
the Taoists and Incense Guests looked at each other in dismay.
They could all see the lingering fear on each other’s faces.
"The Taoist Temple has collapsed..." murmured an elderly Taoist who appeared to be the Observatory Master, his lips trembling slightly. In a voice so low only he could hear, he calculated privately, "But the hidden gold and silver should be fine, and it would take at least three thousand taels of silver to rebuild the temple."
"It doesn’t seem quite right for me to shell out the silver myself. Later on, I can have the disciples go wail to some wealthy Incense Guests, asking for donations."
"Perhaps not only will we not be at a loss, but we might even earn an extra thousand or two thousand taels of silver..."
As he ran through these calculations, the grief sparked by the temple’s collapse vanished in an instant, and the master of the temple cleared his throat subtly.
If it hadn’t been for his disciples and a crowd of Incense Guests around... he would’ve liked to say — Good riddance!
After all, no one had died, and they could even take this opportunity to scam a large sum of money. Why not do it?
Though it is said that cultivation should be pursued with a serene and subdued desire, cultivating surely requires money!
On the other hand, the disciples of this unruly Observatory Master, upon seeing the Taoist Temple flattened by the violent tremors, were deeply saddened.
And terrified to the extreme.
After all, a natural disaster capable of leveling buildings in an instant was truly horrifying!
Fear was unavoidable!
"How... how could this happen? Our Peach Pure Taoist Temple has always been benevolent and charitable, how could we encounter such an event out of nowhere? This shouldn’t be happening... It makes no sense at all!" The occurrence of such a disaster akin to heavenly punishment made one Taoist doubt life itself.
"Perhaps it’s just an accident. Didn’t we have a heavy rain a few days ago? And it lasted for several days. Maybe that storm destabilized the mountain."
"Mercy, mercy... I hope that’s the case, and it’s not a punishment from the Ancestor of Taoism."
"Something’s not right! Just before the shaking, I also heard some strange thunder, and the sky above was full of stars, with not even half a cloud. Where did that thunder come from?"
Suddenly, a more lucid Taoist brought this up, causing everyone to snap back to reality.
Right!
They had also heard a thunderous rumble, sounding like heavenly thunder or the resonating war drums of a deity, shaking everyone to their core.
However, because of the sudden collapse of the Taoist Temple, they’d been too disoriented to recall it right away.
"Observatory Master, should we go check out what happened?" a curious Taoist asked the master.
