The Legend of Futian - Chapter 235

Chapter 235: A Disturbance Triggered by a Guqin Recital

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Complete silence.

At the moment, apart from Gu Ming’s low and miserable cry, there were no other sounds. Everyone stared at the figure who was curled up on the ground in pain.

Gu Ming had no more strength left in his body; it was as if he was going to be paralyzed. His bones had been broken and his meridians were broken, and the Spiritual Qi in his body was leaking out. Everyone naturally knew what a terrifying consequence this blow had caused.

Gu Ming’s powers were permanently destroyed by the blow.

“Ah…” The sharp cry of pain appeared to be particularly ear-piercing in the quietness. There was already no more hatred in Gu Ming’s eyes, only an endless amount of sorrow and regret. Just now, when he thought that he was done for, it was only that he would no longer be considered as a genius and his prospect might be bleak. However, as long as he had the cultivation foundation, he still had the chance to climb back up. But now, he was thoroughly done for, as his powers were permanently destroyed. Even if he could get some sympathy, his future was already foreseeable.

Sympathy? No. The surrounding people from the many top forces did not even sympathize with Gu Ming. They glanced at him emotionlessly and only felt sorry for him. Since he wanted to challenge a Cottage disciple, naturally he should be prepared to be defeated badly. Who dared to look down on the Cottage? After being defeated, he actually wanted to kill Ye Futian with a surprise attack. Even if he succeeded and really killed Ye Futian, he would have probably died anyway. Since he was so impetuous, he certainly had to pay a price for it. Gu Ming’s action was too foolish.

It was only that nobody had expected Yu Sheng to be so irritable and decisive. He walked over directly, and without any hesitation, he permanently disabled Gu Ming with one punch. He did so in front of everyone from the Donghua Clan.

At the moment, the people from the Donghua Clan looked as bitter as possible. The breath spreading from their bodies were extremely cold. Today, they wanted to disgrace the Cottage. In the end, Gu Ming knelt on the ground first, after which he was permanently disabled. The other person was also injured by the ax.

The Donghua Clan had lost all its face.

It was, of course, wrong for Gu Ming to surprise attack Ye Futian, but Ye Futian was unscratched, while Gu Ming was permanently disabled. Yu Sheng and Ye Futian directly ignored the existence of the Donghua Clan. How overbearing was that? Did the Cottage attach any importance to the Donghua Clan?

Qin Mengruo’s expression also changed irregularly and appeared to be somewhat unhappy. Today, she was the one who invited everyone else to come and appreciate the music; she was the host of this guqin recital. Similarly, she also represented the Qin Dynasty. Ye Futian first did not give her any face and described the guqin recital in a vulgar way. Then, he and Yu Sheng were even more out of line. Where had they placed the Qin Dynasty?

“Isn’t it too much for you two to do this?” Qin Mengruo’s voice was still very pleasant, but the pleasant voice vaguely contained some coldness.

Yu Sheng lifted his head and glanced at Qin Mengruo, after which he said in a cold tone, “Shut up.” Yu Sheng was extremely unhappy with Qin Mengruo as she was the person who stirred up the trouble. It was alright for her to meet her lover from the Donghua Clan. However, she had to put on an air of being cultured and drag the Cottage and Ye Futian into trouble. Even if she did so, it was still alright. However, the Donghua Clan was a sore loser and launched two unexpected attacks, and now Qin Mengruo was blaming them. Just now when Gu Ming launched the surprise attack, everyone could tell how much he wanted to kill Ye Futian. Luckily, Ye Futian was strong enough. What if he really had died from Gu Ming’s sneak attack?

“This guy…” Everyone looked at Yu Sheng. He was really bad-tempered and did not even give the princess Qin Mengruo any face, as he asked her to shut up directly. He did not have any compassion for this lady. Perhaps this word never even existed to his knowledge.

A strange look appeared in the eyes of Qin Mengruo. Nobody had dared to berate her in such a manner. Even her brother who was about to become the crown prince also petted her. Many people from the Qin Dynasty appeared, and the people from the Donghua Clan also walked forward. The coldness from them started to spread out towards Yu Sheng.

“Is it that the Donghua Clan cannot afford to lose?” Liu Feiyang frowned. The Donghua Clan stirred up trouble in the first place, and after being defeated, they could not take it and launched two unexpected attacks. Should they not pay a price for this?

Did they want to simply fight?

“My Donghua Clan disciple is permanently disabled. Do you think we will just let it go?” a person from the Donghua Clan said in a cold voice. The Donghua Clan was a force which was as famous as the College. If they just let the issue go, how would people all over the world view the Donghua Clan?

They would think that the Donghua Clan was afraid of the Cottage.

The Cottage was only a part of the College. If the Donghua Clan was even afraid of the Cottage, how could it become the top clan in the Eastern Barren Territory? Therefore, they would naturally not give up easily.

“What do you want?” Ye Futian walked forward and asked emotionlessly.

Yu Sheng was somewhat bad-tempered, but it was all because of him. Furthermore, Gu Ming not only wanted to kill him but actually launched a sneak attack in an attempt to kill him. Did they expect Ye Futian and Yu Sheng to let Gu Ming return to the Donghua Clan in one piece?

“Since the Cottage disciples are so strong, we will have to challenge you.”

A frenzy breath was released from the Donghua Clan disciples. In an instant, the Spiritual Qi in the entire region went completely wild. A few Donghua Clan disciples stepped forward. An odd expression appeared on the faces of the people from the different top forces. At first, it was a simple guqin recital but now the event seemed to be getting out of hand.

If the Donghua Clan disciples really started to attack Ye Futian and Yu Sheng, then since there were only two people from the Cottage here, they would definitely be at a disadvantage.

“Take him down.” The people from the Donghua Clan stared at Yu Sheng coldly. Since he had disabled a Donghua Clan disciple, how could they let this go easily? Yu Sheng—the wood-cutter of the Cottage—would naturally need to provide justification.

Wood-elemental spells swept towards Yu Sheng. They blotted out the sky and enveloped his body in an instant. Yu Sheng raised his head and looked at the vines which were gushing towards him in the sky. Then, devil-like wings bloomed out again and Spiritual Qi turned into a huge golden ax. Stomping on the ground, his body ascended into the air directly and the battle ax struck out. His actions were extremely quick and the light from his ax flooded the sky, cutting the vines into pieces continuously.

Dong. A loud sound was heard and a large ancient clock appeared in the sky. When Yu Sheng chopped all the vines apart, the enormous ancient clock fell from the sky; it was the realization of Dharma of a cultivator. The astonishing gravity spreading from it pressured Yu Sheng’s body and the power released from it was enough to make Yu Sheng collapse.

Feeling the might of the ancient clock, noble will burst out from Yu Sheng’s body and fused into the battle-ax in his hand. Then, he hacked towards the ancient clock in the air. Following a loud bang, a crack appeared on the ancient clock as it was blown backward.

Almost at the same moment, a golden rope swept towards that area like a thin snake and started to wind around Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng struck out his battle ax continuously onto the rope, but the rope did not seem to have experienced any force. When the battle ax hit, the rope would bounce back directly as if it was very soft.

Yu Sheng started to spin gently in the sky, and the battle ax turned into many afterimages as if he was a real wood-cutter. When the rope was hit, it snapped immediately and did not have the chance to be bounced off at all. However, the rope seemed to be infinitely long and gushed towards Yu Sheng constantly, blotting out the entire sky. The spells flew towards him endlessly, as if he would never be able to smash them all.

The ancient clock vibrated again and pressed down on Yu Sheng. Not only that, other spells were attacking Yu Sheng as well. The people from the Donghua Clan stood proudly in the air and surrounded Yu Sheng, wanting to take him down. Below them, Gu Ming was also brought back by some people from the Donghua Clan.

“Such a strong guy.” Everyone gazed at Yu Sheng who was in the sky. Yu Sheng’s wild combat abilities were clear to them as he could deal with a few cultivators from the Donghua Clan whose levels were higher than him. If he was to fight someone of his level, nobody from the Donghua Clan would be able to face him. Indeed, someone who could display four Nobles on the Mirror Mountain Stone Wall had to be extraordinary.

Ye Futian looked extremely unhappy. The Donghua Clan actually jointly attacked Yu Sheng. They wanted to deal with Yu Sheng by using the permanently disabled Gu Ming as an excuse.

Liu Feiyang and Liu Chenyu each took a step forward. Qin Mengruo looked at them and said emotionlessly, “This issue is between the Donghua Clan and the Cottage. Does the Liu Kingdom also want to participate?”

It was not just Qin Mengruo; the top-tier Dharma Plane cultivators from the Donghua Clan who were not participating in the fight also glanced at Liu Feiyang and his team.

Ye Futian stared at Qin Mengruo and his look turned increasingly cold. Previously, he was unhappy with her only because she dragged him into the trouble. But at the moment, he was not merely unhappy.

“Go and find the fifth brother,” Ye Futian said to Liu Feiyang. If the Donghua Clan wanted to use this as an excuse and deal with them, he and Yu Sheng naturally could not resolve the conflict.

At the side, there were still many top-tier Dharma Plane cultivators holding the line. Furthermore, there was also the best musician among the young generation besides them.

“Okay.” Liu Feiyang nodded, after which his body flashed and he left the place. He knew well what kind of people Cottage disciples were like. Since the Donghua Clan wanted to do this, the entire matter was already not as simple as the juniors merely fighting and learning from each other.

The people from the Sword Saint Mountain looked at each other. They had some relationships with the Cottage, but all the people present at the place were juniors, and nobody dared to get involved in the matter easily.

Even the College did not step up. The people from the College in this place were led by Su Muge and Tang Ye. However, both of them had always disliked the Cottage and were unhappy with Ye Futian as well. Therefore, the College which was supposed to take actions also stood at the side.

As for the other forces, they naturally would not care. The conflict involved three major forces: the Qin Dynasty, the Donghua Clan, and the Cottage. Under such a circumstance, who would dare to get involved in this disturbance easily?

Seeing that they could not win after a long time, another Seventh-level Dharma Plane cultivator from the Donghua Clan walked out and started to attack Yu Sheng. Clearly, the Donghua Clan was determined to take Yu Sheng down.

Ye Futian stomped on the ground and walked towards the sky. In an instant, a terrifying flame surged on his body. The violent flame wrapped around his body. At this moment, Ye Futian seemed to have turned into a purgatory fire demon which was wildly devouring the fire-elemental Spiritual Qi in the surrounding.

Meanwhile, a dazzling Sun Dharma appeared in the sky behind Ye Futian. Before he even moved, many flame maple leaves appeared and danced in the wind. The spell Maple Dance contained a strong flame intent and swept towards the Donghua Clan cultivators who were jointly attacking Yu Sheng.

In an instant, countless maple leaves flew towards the people from the Donghua Clan, trying to drown them in the leaves. The attacks launched at Yu Sheng were weakened. They looked at Ye Futian and a cold expression. Since you have attacked, we will fight both of you.

Everyone looked at the sky. Ye Futian’s flame-like body stood proudly in the air, alongside Yu Sheng. Just now, the Donghua Clan kept forcing Ye Futian to fight in order to see his combat abilities. Now, they could finally see it!

Chapter 236: Growing Intensity

Qian Shanmu and Qin Mengruo raised their heads and looked at Ye Futian.

Everyone else also stared at the figure immersed in flame.

This was the young man who created a miracle in the Ancient Barren World. Most of the young generation in the Eastern Barren Territory were somewhat curious about his combat powers.

“Such a strong flame intent.”

Feeling the powers of fire contained in that flame-filled body, everyone muttered to themselves. Li Daoyun’s look was cold: in the Ancient Barren World, one of his arms was burnt by Ye Futian with the help of the flame statue. Ye Futian’s musical spells were very strong. However, was fire his most skilled ability?

Perhaps.

“Attack,” someone from the Donghua Clan said in a cold tone. Many spells bloomed directly and swept towards Ye Futian and Yu Sheng. However, at that moment, an extremely shocking firelight was radiated from the Sun Dharma behind Ye Futian, as if the light from the Sun itself was shining down directly. Many spells were burnt away in the void right away. Even more terrifyingly, several ancient characters seemed to bloom in the Dharma.

Fire, Flare, Blaze!

In the eyes of some low-level cultivators from the Donghua Clan, flame intent seemed to appear and the ancient characters turned into willpower, charging directly into them. They gave out a miserable scream and closed their eyes in pain as blood erupted from their eyes.

In the meantime, some people started to burn. The terrifying ancient characters, with the help of the willpower, charged directly into their bodies.

Some splashing sounds were heard. A few Donghua Clan cultivators skilled in water-elemental abilities cast water spells which enveloped everyone’s body. Ice fell onto them to extinguish the fire, but a few people were still injured.

“Err…”

Everyone’s heart trembled. The people who were injured even included one who was in the Sixth-level Dharma Plane. He actually could not even bear the light from Ye Futian’s Dharma?

Bang! An even more violent flame breath was released. Magma seemed to have appeared in the sky and turned into a sea of fire. Golden divine flames started to burn on Ye Futian’s body which was showering in an endless amount of fire. The light from his Dharma was similarly like divine flames; his Dharma had been fused with the Book of Flames from the Ancient Luolan relic in the Ancient Barren World.

All the ice seals in the place were lit with the light from the divine flames. Then, the power of the ice dissipated and turned into a sea of fire.

Ye Futian’s body flashed and turned into an afterimage. He was skilled at using the noble will of different elements, including wind intent. Since he was able to travel with the wind, he was extremely fast.

A cultivator from the Donghua Clan felt the threat and backed away quickly. Then, the light of Dharma enveloped his body and the flames seemed to be engulfing him. Ye Futian slapped out with his palm, and the other person raised his hands in an attempt to resist. Following a loud bang, the cultivator was blown backward and a horrifying firelight glittered on his body. As the flaming ancient characters appeared faintly, his body began to burn.

“Be careful.” A cultivator who was skilled in water-elemental powers instantly landed before him and used a water spell to seal his body with ice. Otherwise, he would be burnt to death instantly.

The Sixth-level Dharma Plane cultivator, who was two levels above Ye Futian, could not even withstand a blow from him.

Dong. Accompanying a loud bang, the huge clock struck towards Ye Futian and an incredibly heavy power pressured his body. Yu Sheng stepped forward, but other spells started to sweep towards him; there were other people who were attacking him.

Ye Futian looked at the ancient clock which was flying over, and a moon appeared behind him. The sun and the moon alternated, while coldness and hotness spread out simultaneously, turning into an appalling yin and yang vortex.

The ancient clock which was dashing over was sometimes filled with ice and sometimes with flames. The two different wills flew on the surface of the ancient clock and ancient characters seemed to appear vaguely on it. The expression of the cultivator who had released the ancient clock Dharma changed as he felt an extremely horrifying aura. He controlled his will and wanted to take his Dharma back.

The light from the sun and the moon poured down continuously and landed on the ancient clock Dharma. Gradually, the ancient clock froze and stopped. Clear cracking sounds could be heard as cracks started to appear on the clock.

“No…” a Seventh-level Dharma Plane cultivator from the Donghua Clan screamed. Just as his voice died away, cracking sounds started to spread out continuously. His Dharma crushed into pieces, and his Life Spirit which had been fused with the Dharma was also destroyed along with it. The Donghua Clan cultivator gave a miserable cry and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned completely pale as he fell down from the sky.

“So strong?” Everyone around could only feel their hearts trembling. Ye Futian crossed over three levels and used his Dharma to permanently destroy the Dharma of a Seventh-level Dharma Plane cultivator from the Donghua Clan. How overpowering… He had directly eliminated his opponent in an overwhelming way and was so decisive that the other people from the Donghua Clan did not even have time to react.

The grandson of the king of Qin, Qin Li, questioned Ye Futian’s combat powers, and Qin Mengruo also incited him to fight. Now, Qin Mengruo and the people from the Donghua Clan had seen it for themselves.

This was Ye Futian’s combat powers.

The looks of the people from the Donghua Clan were as bitter as it could possibly be. They had sent so many people jointly attack Ye Futian and Yu Sheng, but another person was actually permanently disabled by Ye Futian again. How embarrassing that was.

Many cultivators stepped out. Finally, the higher level Dharma Plane cultivators from the Donghua Clan stopped observing and decided to attack together.

Seeing so, Yu Sheng directly reached out his hand and took the battle ax, his ritual implement, from his back. He had been carrying his noble ritual implement all along. Noble will gushed into the ritual implement. Giving an angry roar, Yu Sheng struck towards the incoming cultivators from the Donghua Clan. His ax seemed to be cutting the void itself into two and the cultivators from the Donghua Clan all dodged the attack.

Then, Yu Sheng moved. He charged forward like a devil and swung his battle ax continuously. Each strike was as strong as the attacks cast by top-tier Dharma Plane cultivators. Noble will had been fused into the ritual implement, in addition to Yu Sheng’s own strength. The power unleashed could thus be well imagined.

Ye Futian did not look at Yu Sheng as he had brought his noble ritual implement and he was very confident in Yu Sheng.

The twin Dharma—the sun and the moon—continued to release terrifying powers and strike at the few Donghua Clan cultivators who had previously fought.

Everyone around gazed at the battlefield and was shocked in their hearts. The Donghua Clan could not even defeat the two who were both in the Fourth-level Dharma Plane.

The Cottage was still the Cottage. It would probably be very difficult for the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan to crush the legend of the Cottage.

Qian Shanmu frowned gently and a tinge of disappointment appeared on his face. Then, he took out the bamboo flute and played it near his lips.

The music of the flute spread out and traces of invisible spiritual powers moved towards Ye Futian and Yu Sheng directly. In that instant, Ye Futian only felt traces of sharp noises piercing into his ears, disrupting his Spiritual Energy directly. He could not even form the spells that he wanted to cast.

He frowned tightly and glanced at Qian Shanmu, his look extremely cold.

Qian Shanmu was one of the two best geniuses in the Donghua Clan and was honored as the best musician among the young generation in the Eastern Barren Territory. He actually chose to attack at this moment.

An even more violent aura bloomed from Ye Futian’s body as his Spiritual Energy resisted Qian Shanmu’s musical attack. Stomping his foot, he did not use any spells but instead slapped his palm out at a cultivator from the Donghua Clan. The radiance of the ancient characters flashed on his palm which seemed to be able to melt everything. His palm collided with the fist of the Donghua Clan cultivator, after which the cultivator cried in pain as his arms started to burn.

Seeing the scene, the pupils of everyone contracted slightly. Was this his response towards Qian Shanmu’s intervention?

The flute’s music turned rapid. At this instant, Ye Futian felt like many green snakes had appeared and were biting him. His spirit felt a wave of numbness and pain which was extremely uncomfortable, while his head felt like it was going to explode.

He used his strong spiritual will to resist the music, but the musical attack was everywhere and undefendable, continuing to enter his ears. Even the flames around Ye Futian were dissipating and he stood stiffly in the air, as if he was suppressed by the musical attack.

At the moment, an attack spell from a Donghua Clan cultivator flew over. Following a loud bang, Ye Futian gave a muffled humph. Even though his physical body was strong, he still spat out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably as his body was blown backward.

Ye Futian was enduring both physical and spiritual attacks.

Yu Sheng gave an angry roar; he had similarly felt Qian Shanmu’s musical attack. At the moment, an extremely terrifying light appeared around his body, as if it was the light from a devil. A set of barbed armor emerged from his body and slowly wrapped around him, covering his body and turning into real devil’s armor. The pair of horrifying devil wings was attached to the armor as if they fit inside perfectly.

“This is…” Everyone looked at Yu Sheng in astonishment. Even his eyes were glittering with gloomy golden light as if they were the monstrous eyes of the devil. An incredibly appalling current flew on his body. At this moment, the noble battle-ax in his hand seemed to be totally activated and a shocking power spread from it.

Ignoring Qian Shanmu’s music, Yu Sheng struck out with his ax. Immediately, a sky-severing beam of light appeared in the space before him. In just an instant, blood bloomed out in the sky. Several cultivators screamed in pain as they backed away hurriedly. Some got their arms cut off, while others had their Dharma destroyed.

Everyone was shocked by the attack. Even though Yu Sheng had used the noble ritual implement, he was in the Fourth-level Dharma Plane after all and actually managed to burst out such an incredible attack. The way he struck his ax out was still like he was cutting a piece of wood, but the cultivators from the Donghua Clan seemed to have become his wood and were easily cut apart.

Was he mad because Ye Futian was injured?

Qian Shanmu’s look was finally no longer calm. Although he had participated in the fight, a few people from the Donghua Clan were actually still injured. As a top genius in the Donghua Clan, this was quite embarrassing for him.

At the moment, many figures were whizzing over from afar. The battle here had only gone on for a short period of time, but its effects were rather devastating. The people who arrived first were from the Qin Dynasty and the Donghua Clan. Today Qin Mengruo and Qian Shanmu were meeting at the place and they were all paying close attention to it. Therefore, they were the first to reach. However, after they arrived they realized that this was not like a guqin recital. More than half of the people from the Donghua Clan were actually injured; a few were permanently disabled and some lost their arms.

Seeing such a scene, the anger of the cultivator from the Donghua Clan who had just reached could be easily imagined. His look was extremely cold as he glanced at Yu Sheng who was in the air holding the noble ritual implement. A terrifying light was still being emitted from the battle ax.

He actually dares to act so wildly here!

Bang! A Noble Plane cultivator stepped out. In an instant, a terrifying might enveloped Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng lifted his head and stared at the figure; his look was still very cold.

The noble was filled with rage at the moment. Raising his hand, he slapped out directly and the frightening palm print seemed to be crushing everything. Yu Sheng roared in anger and lifted the battle ax in his hand, striking it out.

However, how could he block a real noble?

The palm print crushed everything and eliminated the light from the ax. Falling down, it hit Yu Sheng. In just an instant, Yu Sheng was blown directly towards the ground and could not resist the attack at all!
