Invincible Kungfu Healer - Chapter 892

Chapter 892: Giant Spiritual Flaming Palm

“That’s Senior Mo!”

A woman wearing a green dress who was standing in front of the spectator podium screamed. She stared at challenge ring 49 unblinkingly. She was none other than Wang Qinghan.

The Zhongyu Sect, which stood behind Wang Qinghan, ranked third among all sects in the martial arts circle. It also had the support of the mysterious sects of the inner world. As the young sect mistress of Zhongyu Sect, she naturally had the right to come to Dragon City.

“Senior Mo’s cultivation levels are incredible, and he is so young. It is normal for him to participate in the Heaven List Tournament. If he had been in the previous tournaments, he would have placed first on the Heaven List without any doubt. However, the Heaven List Tournament this year is more difficult than one can imagine. I don’t know how it will end,” Wang Qinghan said softly.

It had only been two short weeks since they had parted at the Crimson Star Sect, and she had a great understanding of Mo Wen’s powers. Furthermore, not only was his cultivation level terrifying, but he also had amazing medical skills. Her cold body had been completely dealt with. It no longer was a threat to her life and instead was an aid to her cultivation.

“Qinghan, is that the person the Senior Mo you mentioned?” An elderly man next to Wang Qinghan turned to ask her curiously. He was the sect leader of Zhongyu Sect. He naturally knew a little bit about Mo Wen from Wang Qinghan.

“That’s him. He is a martial arts grandmaster. He is only 20 and is extremely talented.” Wang Qinghan lamented slightly. She was just a little older than him.

“You’ve underestimated him. Being able to enter the Mechanized Maze City is not something an ordinary martial arts grandmaster can do. Furthermore, one of his opponents earlier was an extremely powerful third realm martial arts grandmaster. Someone like him no longer belongs to the same world as we do.

Wang Jingqiu, the sect leader of Zhongyu Sect sighed softly. As the sect leader of a large sect, he had more experience than Wang Qinghan.

Actually, there really wasn’t much that involved them in this martial arts circle convention. They already lost the ability to compete when the legendary hidden martial arts strain appeared. A few days ago, the inner world sect that had silently supported Zhongyu Sect had notified them to give up on this martial arts circle convention.

After this tournament, the original Ten Great Sects of the martial arts world would probably be changed completely. None of the ten would survive.

Zhongyu Sect was not the only sect that had noticed Mo Wen. There were some who knew Mo Wen or those who knew of him.

For example, Lan Zhongzhi of the Cold Light Pavilion, Swordsman Zong Changsheng and Pei Fengwu of the Maple Forest Valley, Granny Jin Hua and Jin Ying of the Golden Dragon Sect, and Gao Hanshan and Jun Wulei of the Gao Clan…

“You have to look at a man with new eyes after you part when he later improves like that. This saying is most apt to describe Mo Wen!” Lan Zhongzhi said. Mo Wen was someone he admired. How long had it been since they parted at the Fighting Spirit Tower?

“I have waited for several hundred years and the day has finally come. The Ming Preservation Faction can finally hold our heads up.” Gao Hanshan was extremely excited.

…

After Mo Wen killed Zhang Feng, his points rose from 20,000 to 50,000. He rose from somewhere in the 20s on the ranking board to 12th place in an instant. The person in 10th place only had 60,000 points. Mo Wen would be able to make it into the top ten if he gained another 10 to 20,000 points.

Mo Wen did not immediately leave the challenge ring. Instead, he continued the challenge. The jade pendant in his hand glowed and he lost 20,000 points. On the central screen, a message stated that challenge ring 49 was betting 20,000 points on an ordinary match.

Mo Wen had raised the bet from 10,000 to 20,000 because he knew that most of the criminals would be fearful after he killed Zhang Feng. They would not dare to fight him in the ring. He had raised the stakes to entice them.

A 20,000 points challenge ring had only appeared a few times in the Death Corner Fighting Ring. There were not many people who would bet so many points on a single challenge because the risks were too high. That was unless they were extremely confident in themselves.

Currently, the highest points in the challenge ring were 30,000. It was a record set by the person in second place and no one had surpassed that until now. A terrifying criminal had appeared in the 30,000 points match. He was much scarier than Zhang Feng. The competitor called Dark Hand had won, but it was a close match.

That was because almost no one dared to take up the challenge as long as Dark Hand was in the challenge ring. As such, unless he used a startling amount of points as bait; otherwise, no one would challenge him.

It was the same for Mo Wen. There would probably not be a lot of people who would be willing to challenge him if he gave out 10,000 points. But if he gave out 20,000 points, it would be enough to stir up the interest of some people.

“Has it gone up to 20,000 points? The young man who understood the esoteric aura seems to be very confident. Forget it, 20,000 points is worth showing my hand once.”

A short and small figure emerged from the crowd. He walked normally, but walked up into the sky in a few steps and appeared in front of the challenge ring.

The person looked like a dwarf. He was probably not taller than 1.3 meters and wore a plaited bamboo hat on his head. One could not tell what he looked like but there were lines that looked like beast markings running down his exposed arms.

“It’s him.”

“He’s finally attacking! That young man is about to be down on his luck now.”

“Don’t think that you can behave arrogantly in the heart of the Red Stone just because you have some abilities. You will die if the real powerhouses come out.”

…

Many criminals immediately recognized the person who appeared in front of challenge ring 49. Their eyes were filled with great respect and fear. It was as if the man was a devil and they could not help but quake in fear when they saw him.

Other than the criminals, many competitors also recognized the man. Everyone looked at him.

“You’ve managed to bring the assistant valley leader of the Rot Valley out. You really think too highly of yourself.”

Lord Merciless smiled extremely viciously and sinisterly. The Rot Valley was among the top three factions in the heart of the Red Stone. There were many powerhouses in the valley and many of them were vicious people who had once swept through the various inner worlds. There were many warriors who were in the third Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm.

As one of the two assistant sect leaders of the Rot Valley, the man’s cultivation levels were extremely high. A few of them were almost ultimate warriors.

Since one of the assistant valley leaders of the Rot Valley was here, Mo Wen was almost certain to lose. He might even be in danger of dying.

He hoped that Mo Wen would die at the hands of the assistant valley leader, for he was a threat if he was left alive.

The ability that Mo Wen showed had made Lord Merciless feel threatened. If Mo Wen was willing to move steadily ahead and not be in a hurry to win, it was just a matter of time before he made it into the top 10. Lord Merciless was currently in 9th place. If he was unlucky, it was very possible that he might be squeezed out of the top 10. Furthermore, there was a grudge between Mo Wen and him. He would not want something like that to happen.

“It’s him. Fortunately, I didn’t go all out with him that day. If I had, the ending would be too horrible to contemplate,” one of the young men muttered to himself as he stood amongst the competitors. His gaze was fixed on Mo Wen as if he knew him.

If Mo Wen had seen him, he would have definitely realized that the man was the Young Master Wuji, Xin Wuji, whom he had met in the Crimson Blood Sect. However, Xin Wuji had only been in the late Golden Elixir Realm then. Given his cultivation levels, he would not have been able to enter the Mechanized Maze City. Yet, Xin Wuji was now enveloped in a mysterious power and he was rather powerful.

Mo Wen did not know that the man was currently in 7th place on the leader board. He was even ahead of Guo Mengqiao and Lord Merciless.

“If you move ahead steadily, you might become a formidable opponent of mine. It’s a pity that you have ruined your own future.”

Xin Wuji shook his head slightly. Dark Hand, who was in second place, had almost lost because of the 30,000 points challenge ring. He had paid a heavy price before he finally won by a narrow margin. What kind of abilities did Mo Wen have for him to dare to raise the points to 20,000?

At this moment, almost all the other competitors were looking at Mo Wen. If Mo Wen were to win this match, then he would be able to make it into the top 10. But if he lost, then he would go back to where he started and fall outside of the top 20.

As Mo Wen’s fellow competitors, they naturally did not want him to win this challenge.

“I hope that you won’t disappoint me.” In the corner, a figure hidden in the dark looked at Mo Wen. He was Dark Hand, who was in second place. He was a person who liked to hide in the dark.

One had to pay 30,000 points to challenge a 20,000 point challenge ring. Ordinary criminals would not be able to have so many points. However, that dwarf assistant valley leader had not even blinked. He swiped down with his hand and 30,000 points appeared on the record on the challenge ring.

“I have not fought with a young man like you. Even though underhanded means was used to win, no one will discuss fairness with you on the battlefield.”

The dwarf assistant valley leader stepped into the challenge ring with a single step. He was about 300 meters away, across from Mo Wen.

“If you think that that I have won through underhanded means, then how about you seal off half your power before you fight me?” Mo Wen’s lips curled up in a smile as he looked at the dwarf assistant valley leader with interest.

“Sure, how about I let you personally seal half of my power?” The dwarf assistant valley leader glanced at Mo Wen. Then, he laid out his hands, looking as if he was not bothered letting Mo Wen approach him to seal his power.

“The hero of the heart of the Red Stone is indeed a fair man. Then I shall help myself.”

Mo Wen took a step forward and appeared before the dwarf assistant valley in an instant. He looked as if he was about to seal off half of the man’s power.

Yet, a chilling smile appeared on the lips of the dwarf assistant valley leader. He struck suddenly at Mo Wen’s head.

“Fairness is key in the Red Stone Forest. You are too naïve.”

A gust of wind cut toward Mo Wen. It was filled with incredibly terrifying power. It was as if it could split open a mountain.

Yet, when the palm of the dwarf assistant valley leader hit Mo Wen’s head, he realized that it was just an illusion. Mo Wen’s body immediately broke and disappeared.

“Hmm?”

The dwarf assistant valley leader realized that things were not right. It was obvious that the young man had already taken precautions against him.

No one knew when the golden figure appeared behind the dwarf assistant valley leader. The next moment, it was as if a volcano erupted. The golden figure’s palm immediately became large. It was the size of a futon and there were mysterious dark patterns on it. They joined with heaven and earth and encapsulated the most primitive esoteric rules between heaven and earth.

It was the Giant Spiritual Flaming Palm!

It was one of the rite of passage martial arts that Xiang Buwei had passed on to Mo Wen. Xiang Buwei had cultivated this martial art for his entire life and it was one of his most powerful attacks when he had understood the esoteric meaning of fire. Mo Wen had inherited it directly from Xiang Buwei. His understanding of the Giant Spiritual Flaming Palm was naturally unlike any other. This was also the reason for him understanding some of the esoteric aura of the Giant Spiritual Flaming Palm.

Ordinary warriors breaking through to the realm of becoming an immortal was a process through a rite of passage. It meant that mortals could finally become an immortal. However, to get on the rite of passage, one had to walk on a path that belonged to himself. If Mo Wen’s path was the esoteric meaning of fire, then with his accomplishments in the Giant Spiritual Flaming Palms, things would be much easier. The chance of him succeeding would increase by 50%.
