Chapter 180 - 140: The Horse Gallops across the Royal Mountain! Red Flags Fluttering in the Sky! The Cherry Blossom Spirit Perishes!
“It’s nearly over.”
Royal Mountain, the highest peak in Radiation Island, is considered a sacred mountain by The Inferior Tribe.
Countless Inferiors regard Royal Mountain as holy, worshipping it all day.
The royal buildings and temples of The Inferior Tribe are all stationed here.
This place also gathers together the elite of The Inferior Tribe that are left.
Unfortunately, with the arrival of the legendary powerhouses Xiao Tianfeng, Xin Ruhuo, and Quan Linfei, it’s all over.
With the landing of two hundred Little Boys, the entire Royal Mountain has already collapsed.
Countless regular Inferiors, Inferior Professionists, are gone without a trace.
Atop Royal Mountain, the ‘immortal’ Eternal Sun has already been extinguished.
The entire Royal Mountain is depleted, with the ice and snow melting, rocks collapsing, plants destroyed, and lava bursting out, without a trace of life.
Only deep within Royal Mountain, where nearly the entire mountain has been hollowed out, a group of Inferior Professionists still hang on.
They’re the remains of the Inferior Tribe’s royal family and priests, surviving by taking advantage of the special terrain of Royal Mountain.
But don’t worry, the military Professionists have already located them.
Under the leadership of Half-Inferior Professionists, they’re striking deep into enemy territory!
Xiao Tianfeng laughed and said, “Old Fire, it’s been ten days. All the Inferiors on the four islands of Radiation Island have been wiped out. It’s time to go home, right?”
“Don’t rush, don’t rush, I still want to see the so-called ‘Heroic Spirits’ that the Inferior Tribe has worshipped for over three hundred years! Perhaps, there are some old friends we know, hehehe…”
His tone was filled with a chilling killing intent.
“Really? I’m looking forward to it…”
Quan Linfei frowned and said, “Don’t go too far. After all, this place is not our territory.”
“In more than three hundred years of development, The Inferior Tribe has only occupied a small area of the original land.”
“They don’t even have the qualifications to explore the offshore and deep sea areas, be careful not to bump into something you shouldn’t touch!”
Xiao Tianfeng said, “Linfei, don’t worry, we came to Radiation Island this time intending to stay for a long time.”
“In the deep sea, we have indeed detected a lot of powerful lifeforms. These are the creatures that have survived for more than a thousand years in the nuclear radiation zone. They are worth researching!”
“You don’t know how many times the Elders Council and the Research Institute have pushed us. After the Inferiors on the four islands are wiped out, the three of us may stay here permanently.”
“With enough time, we can prod and deal with them.”
Quan Linfei frowned and said, “Our stationing here is no problem at all. What I’m worried about is the new students who are participating in the joint entrance exam for the new Professionists this year, I wonder how they’re doing?”
“Old Fire! The Star Seal Formation has always been under your surveillance. How’s the situation?”
Xin Ruhuo solemnly said, “Out of thirty-four test islands, only fourteen have destroyed their corresponding tribute states.”
“Fourteen? That few?”
Xiao Tianfeng was surprised, “Which one is the fastest?”
“Binhai City!”
“Binhai City?”
“As expected, Binhai City has awakened six nine-star Professionists this year, and twenty-three eight-star Professionists!”
“So many high-star new Professionists joining hands, even the strongest tributes wouldn’t stand a chance against them!”
Xiao Tianfeng laughed and said, “The second must be Beijing then, they have five nine-star Professionists this year, and a few more eight-star Professionists, thirty-six…”
“But the first kill was taken by the newbies of Binhai City. Old Gu and Old Zhao must be sulking about this, hahaha…”
“It’s not Beijing.”
“Not Beijing?”
This time, even Quan Linfei was surprised and looked at Xin Ruhuo.
“So which state province is it that managed to surpass Beijing at such a fast pace?”
“Qinzhou Province, Chang’an City.”
Xin Ruhuo’s eyes looked a little bizarre: “The tribute corresponding to them on Izu Island is Blood Guanyin, it can rank in the top three among all the tributes.”
“Qinzhou Province?”
Quan Linfei suddenly remembered.
“This year, Qinzhou Province has awakened three nine-star Professionists and originally only had five eight-star Professionists.”
“Later, because of the incident with the Black Sun of the Dawn Organization, a rare female eight-star Soul Reaper was added to their ranks.”
“Afterwards, Jiang Muyun, the Black Sun Maiden, joined us again, adding another eight-star Onmyoji, totaling seven.”
“Could they be the ones who snatched second place?”
Xin Ruhuo nodded, “I didn’t expect it to be them either. The information provided by the Star Seal Formation only shows that they formed an elite team, using a large team to contain the Inferiors, and then the elite team to assassinate Blood Guanyin.”
“In fact, they even managed to subdue Blood Guanyin.”
“They subdued Blood Guanyin? That tribute?”
The two were both surprised and looked over.
Quan Linfei laughed, “It seems, Qinzhou Province has some very excellent juniors this year.”
“The kid from the Qin Family? Or the Bai Family? Or the two who were blessed by the Black Sun Lord?”
“None of those…”
Xin Ruhuo smiled faintly, “It seems that our Xia Country has once again produced an outstanding individual. I just don’t know if he can grow up.”
Quan Linfei was surprised, “Over the past few hundred years, there haven’t been many newcomers that you’d call exceptional. What, are you going to take on a closed-door disciple?”
Xin Ruhuo shook his head, “No, he’s not there yet. Let’s wait for him to continue growing. I’m worried that if we encourage him too early, it may hinder his growth.”
“Let him grow on his own.”
The two fell silent, as if they were reminded of something.
“What to do about the Dawn? Xiao Tianfeng said. “Your disciple is indeed extraordinary, even…”
“Tianfeng!”
Quan Linfei called out subconsciously, but Xin Ruhuo growled, “Don’t mention him to me!”
“Sooner or later… I will kill him myself!”
The rage vanished as quickly as it had flowed in, leaving their faces unaltered.
Xin Ruhuo suddenly said, “After the conclusion of this joint examination of the new professionists, I plan to add an additional cultural examination.”
The other two expressed surprise, “A cultural examination? What are you trying to accomplish?”
“Isn’t it too late to prepare for that now?”
Xin Ruhuo shook his head, “This cultural test is not for everyone. Instead, it’s meant to gather those who performed exceptionally well in the joint examination, and give them a simple evaluation.”
Quan Linfei’s eyes glittered, “What are you planning to test them on?”
Xin Ruhuo’s voice was even, “The measures for dealing with those who choose to join the Half-Inferior Tribe, and their views on the future development of Radiation Island.”
Xiao Tianfeng reacted with surprise, “Measures for dealing with the Half-Inferior Tribe? Haven’t you already figured out a plan?”
“And the second question… What good suggestions could a group of people who have never set foot on the Alien Battlefield possibly give…”
“Two heads are better than one,” Ruhuo Xin cut in, “Perhaps they can give me a pleasant surprise.”
“You’re the commander. We’ll do as you say…”
“Boom…!”
Just then, a loud explosion sounded from the peak of Royal Mountain in the distance.
Gobs of magma surged up with the storm, almost completely enveloping the island in thick smoke.
The three of them changed their gaze, and Xin Ruhuo added, “They’re coming!”
He waved his hand, and instantly a circular array disc appeared in his palm.
The disc was etched with mountains, lakes, birds, animals, state, bottoms, and the two fish of Yin and Yang at the base.
At the same time, gruff voices intermixed with screams, roars, and panicked howls could be heard from deep within Royal Mountain.
Looking carefully, hundreds of Onmyojis of the Inferior Tribe, clad in wide black and white robes and tall hats, could be seen slashing their own arteries, necks and hearts, letting fresh blood pour over various statues.
“We offer our lives to all the gods!!!”
“Buzz…”
The next second, tens of statues on the ground instantly collapsed, visible cracks gradually spread across them.
Dusky, illusive figures shot up into the sky, transforming into powerful ghosts of the Inferior Tribe!
With dry and thin bodies, wielding razors, and razor-consumed Shura Dongying Tiao!
Plump figures casting toxins all over the sky, Radiation Ghost Warriors Dei Fat Round Three!
Bearing three heads on the shoulder, with wings growing from the back, Trident Demon Muto Shirou!
With decapitated heads and agitated antennae, One Blade Shura Yan Sanhe!
All these figures were powerhouses from the Inferior Tribe who invaded Blue Star three hundred years ago. They were driven out by the pioneers of Xia Country’s Blue Star from the past.
They were worshipped by the Inferior Tribe for over three hundred years and had long since turned into half-spirit, half-monster puppet beings.
And now they’re being awakened by the remaining Inferior tribe using their last manner, this is the Inferior Tribe’s final trump card!
“Roar…!!!”
A low roar sounded from the mouths of these monsters.
Xiao Tianfeng sneered, “Three hundred years ago, we drove you wastes away. Three hundred years later, we can still kill all of you!”
“What we see before us aren’t the real them,” Xin Ruhuo sneered, “They’re nothing more than evil spirits who have been worshipped for over three hundred years, simply feeding on blood and souls. No matter how many souls they absorb, they cannot reach their prime.”
“Merely instinct-driven evil spirits. I can wipe them out with a wave of my hand.”
“Be careful.”
Quan Linfei warned, “Their numbers are still too many… If they manage to escape…”
The moment she finished speaking, the puppet monsters roared and charged towards the trio.
Xiao Tianfeng took a step forward, bolts of lightning flickering around him, forming a dazzling armor of thunderbolts.
With a grasp, a thunderbolt spear materialized in his hand.
“Heelut~”
A squad of thunderbolt warhorses charged out from the distance. Xiao Tianfeng leaped onto the saddle of the leading one.
Man and horse, resembling a mighty army, plunged into the horde of monster puppets.
“Trample Mount Royal!”
“Boom!”
Thunderbolts from the sky fell, pulverizing more than ten monster puppets instantaneously!
Xin Ruhuo also took a step forward, the array disc in his hand blinking with starlight.
In a flash, the ground shook, and the lava gushed out.
Again, over ten monster puppets were blasted apart, forming billows of red clouds in the sky.
“Red Cloud Gus!”
Quan Linfei settled down cross-legged, spread her hands and a delicate qin appeared on her knees.
Her hands flowed over the qin, releasing a crisp yet gentle tune.
The qin’s sound was as sharp as a blade, each blade ever so relentless!
In an instant, cherry blossoms the color of pink covered the sky.
Invisible pink blades formed within the sky, completely enveloping the remaining tens of monster puppets.
Nibble!
“Sakura Soul Extinguishing!”
