Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 779 - 219: Abnormal City God! Familiar Aura!_1

"Perhaps... perhaps everyone just misheard?" Someone clung to a sliver of hope and then added, "Maybe the person who was shouting just now wasn’t a deity from the heavens, but someone else entirely?"

"Prob... probably," someone casually agreed, with everyone having very different thoughts in their minds.

The only two consistencies were that everyone’s feelings were extremely complex and the expressions on their faces were invariably the same.

Perhaps to validate the guesses in their hearts, they braved their way, continuing towards the direction of Wuxia Mountain.

Then, they witnessed a scene that defied all reasoning.

The land ahead was covered with dense and ferocious cracks, some as large as canyons and others as thin as spider webs.

There were also peculiar black folds on the ground, like some sort of viscous fluid that had cooled down.

They even saw the once continuous and majestic Wuxia Mountain now appeared as if it lost a huge chunk.

It’s as if someone had forcibly erased several mountains.

The ground was peppered with one massive pit after another.

No one could fathom how deep these pits were, nor grasp their vast size.

This sight of devastation, even to these ordinary citizens, clearly suggested that an incredibly powerful being had battled here!

Was it some Immortal God and the Mountain King of Wuxia Mountain? Or the Immortal God and that Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple? Or perhaps it was Fan Wu from Qiulong Temple and the Mountain King of Wuxia Mountain?

All sorts of possibilities sprang up in everyone’s minds, causing widespread shock and awe.

"It’s a duel of magic! Just a duel of magic by mighty individuals!!" Among the crowd, the few Cultivators had looks of horror even more profound than those of ordinary people.

One of the Cultivators wearing a Daoist Robe felt his throat go dry.

He tried to stimulate saliva production to moisten his mouth, then spoke in a tone of utter shock, "This humble Taoist can feel a strange Power still faintly pulsating around us! This indicates that the aftermath of their duel of magic still hasn’t dissipated!"

"Amitabha, it’s more than just their lingering presence," trembled an Old Monk standing beside him with his hands clasped together, "The Old Monk feels as if he can envision... those immensely terrifying scenes."

"Earlier, the thunderous anomalies in the sky, it’s also unclear which of the duelists unleashed such a horrifying spell," another Cultivator swallowed nervously.

"If this humble Taoist isn’t mistaken, it’s the one who wielded the thunder that has lost," said the old Cultivator in the Daoist Robe.

His expression was very strange, "Moreover, this humble Taoist has sensed from that thunder the divine essence that is unique to the Immortal Gods in the heavens."

The other Cultivators: "..."

What the Old Taoist had said was truly shocking—what did those few sentences mean? Could it be he thought that among the duelers, one was an Immortal God, who then lost to the other party?

Such a conjecture was too bold, even somewhat presumptuous!

Yet, if they were to refute him, they found themselves unable to find the words to do so, because what they had witnessed matched the Old Taoist’s guess almost exactly.

However, they found it genuinely difficult to accept this reality.

An Immortal God dueling with an unknown formidable entity and that Immortal God losing?

This fact alone was enough to destabilize everyone’s belief!

...

Time.

Passed.

In the blink of an eye, five or six days had flown by, and after these days of long journeys, Fan Wu and the others had already entered Guang’an Province and were now deep within its borders.

According to Liu Feng, they estimated it would take only two more days to leave Guang’an Province and finally reach the Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty!

During these five or six days, Fan Wu and company did not have an entirely smooth journey; they still encountered some strange incidents.

The first was a malicious creature harming people, which Fan Wu resolved with a flick of his finger.

The second was being accosted by bandits intent on robbery, an experience... Fan Wu and the others had never encountered before.

Then this band of bandits was promptly wiped out by them, without a single survivor left behind.

This time, Fan Wu did not even need to take action, as Yun Jiuqing and the rest were more than capable of eliminating all the bandits.

The province of Guang’an, close to the Imperial City of the Great Yan Dynasty, had a development that... fell short compared to their previous travels through Guang’an Province.

According to Liu Feng, the reason was that the young and strong population within Guang’an Province had all gone to seek their livelihood in the Imperial City, leaving few willing to remain in such a place.

That made sense.

In the Imperial City, even a beggar could collect a few dozen coins a day, whereas in Guang’an Province, even working long hours as a landlord’s hired hand might not earn you ten coins a day.

Any ambitious young person would choose a different path, perhaps even becoming a local magnate or landlord with a stroke of luck.
