Plundering the Heavens Chapter 273

Had someone with the status and power of Grand Elder Jing Guang ever been cursed at like this before? At first, he considered this boy to be a mere insect who didn't know his place, and one he took care of his priorities, it would be a simple matter to crush this bug between his fingers . He didn't think this boy would have enough guts to curse at him with such vile words, and those cowardly competitors had even started joining in with him while hiding in the forest .

If he didn't kill this brat immediately, who knew what other insults would spill out of his mouth? And if there was someone with ulterior motives, who knew what kind of rumors would be attached to his mighty name and spread through Jambu? If he let this continue, the consequences would be worse than simply losing a bit of his reputation .

'It's just killing a little brat . I doubt anyone would really dare to come out and try to take the formation pivot from me anyway… . ' In a show of caution, Grand Elder Jing Guang had originally intended to guard the stone bridge until all of his disciples had crossed, but his fury had continued to burn more and more violently until he could no longer contain it anymore . With a loud shout, his body turned into a ray of light and he threw himself towards Fang Xing . "You little bastard, I'm going to grind your bones into ashes and disperse your spirit… . "

When Fang Xing saw the old monster Jing Guang had been successfully provoked, it felt as though a heavy stone had been lifted from his heart and he used his spirit sense to speak with the Peng King . 'This old bastard's finally angry . Let's do it, Old Peng . ' As Jing Guang shot forward like a meteor, Fang Xing showed a fierce smile and killed the grey-robed old servant with a single strike of his palm right before the Flag of Ten Thousand Spirits' black smoke billowed out to cover a ten-foot radius .

Woosh… .

The speed of a Golden Core Stage cultivator was incredibly fast . Grand Elder Jing Guang shot forward like a golden light and a hundred feet was covered in the blink of an eye, yet it was also at this time that a few murderous intents rose up from within the forest and pushed towards the old monster Jing Guang .

Surprise rose up amidst the old monster Jing Guang's fury and his mind went on alert as he looked up towards the forest . He'd already known there were a few

Golden Cores who'd been waiting for this moment, and although they might not be qualified to be his opponent, he still needed to show some caution . After that initial moment of surprise, however, he saw the forest was actually quiet and peaceful without anyone moving to attack .

Grand Elder Jing Guang sneered . 'Hmph, this group of useless old trash . Indeed, none of them had the guts to challenge me, Grand Elder Jing Guang… . ' With that thought, he sent out a strike towards Fang Xing, causing a loud bang to ring out that palm's powerful force dived into the black smoke .

The force of the attack caused the black smoke to dissipate, and it was only then the old monster Jing Guang realized Fang Xing was already long gone . 'Did he use a teleportation tool?' He immediately realized what was going on and sent out his spirit sense to cover all directions . With his cultivation level, teleportation tools were nothing too special; once he located the boy's location, all he'd have to do was send out another strike to finish him off .

However, as he scanned the area, he was once again surprised surprised and turned back to look at the small stone bridge .

That detestable brat's silhouette had already appeared at the front of the small stone bridge and was preparing to make a dash onto the bridge itself . This boy had indeed used a teleportation tool, but rather than running away, he'd been aiming at the formation pivot Jing Guang had been guarding this entire time .

The boy still had his mind set on entering the Mysterious Domain even now?

Grand Elder Jing Guang showed a cold smile and began to dash towards the small stone bridge as well . With a cultivation level like his, anywhere within a thousand feet would only take a few breaths to reach—even if this brat was able to get to the front of the stone bridge, he wouldn't keep his life to actually enter .

Just as he began to charge, however, a few murderous auras rose up within the forest once more .

Grand Elder Jing Guang immediately turned in defense after sensing this change, his eyes scanning the forest like a hawk . . . and yet, just like before, it was nothing more than a thunderstorm without the hint of even a single drop of rain . Despite the old Jing Guang's wary surprise, there was nothing but silence in the forest once again and Fang Xing had already drawn closer to the small stone bridge .

Fang Xing had planned everything out after he saw

saw Grand Elder Jing Guang guarding the bridge . With this old monster standing guard, not only did the three other Golden Cores not have a chance to take the formation pivot for themselves, but Fang Xing's chances were even slimmer . This was true even if he happened to have a Jing-clan servant to use as a hostage; why would a Golden Core cultivator who did as he pleased show mercy just because of an old flunkey? The only method was to lure the old Jing Guang away from the stone bridge when the formation pivot was open, then rush inside the Mysterious Domain as quickly as possible . If he managed to get inside, the barrier isolating the Mysterious Domain would ensure even old Golden Core Stage monsters like Jing Guang couldn't do anything to him .

Although the plan was fairly sound, it still had a huge flaw: the battle prowess of a Golden Core Stage cultivator was simply too great . Old monsters like this Jing Guang could cover a thousand feet with a mere thought and didn't even see it as actual distance . Even if Fang Xing did manage to anger him and lure him away from the stone bridge, such terrifying speed meant he wouldn't be able to activate his Ten Mile Teleportation Talisman and might just end up slammed to his death . For that reason, he had to find a few people strong enough to present a threat to buy him some time . With such thoughts in mind, he sought out the three Golden Cores who'd been waiting within the forest .

Although the three weren't able to best Grand Elder Jing Guang even combining their strength, he wouldn't be able to completely ignore them either if they were to truly attack as on . Besides, they didn't need to actually attack him; all they had to do was release their murderous intent at the right moment as a form of distraction . It ended up working quite well, it seemed, and Fang Xing managed to successfully arrive at the small stone bridge .

However, at the front of the small stone bridge was still a dozen of Jing Guang's disciples who hadn't crossed yet . Jing Fu—who was concerned over Uncle Hong—also hadn't crossed the bridge and Yuan Shenglian stood beside her as well . When the disciples saw Fang Xing heading towards them, they all started letting out loud shouts while activating their weapons towards him, causing numerous attacks to form in front of him like a net . Even if these disciples weren't strong enough to kill him, they were determined to at least stop him

stop him at the bridge .

"You want to cross? In your dreams… . "

A Golden Core Stage cultivator was extremely fast . As long as this kid was delayed by a few seconds, he'd wind up smashed under their Grand Elder Jing Guang's palm .

"Anyone who stops me dies!" After activating his Ten Mile Teleportation Talisman, Fang Xing had immediately started running through the next steps in his mind . Before arriving at the stone bridge, he let out a loud command and waved the Flag of Ten Thousand Spirits, causing black smoke to quickly cover a large area . Any Spirit Stage cultivators who dashed towards him instantly had their flesh sucked clean from their bodies, leaving behind only their skeletons to fall to the ground . Even Yuan Shenglian's and Jing Fu's jaws dropped and they moved out of the way to avoid it .

Using this chance, Fang Xing didn't stop at all and took a step onto the small stone bridge .

When the old monster Jing Guang saw Fang Xing wave that flag and kill around five of his disciples, his anger began to flare even higher . "You're seeking your own death, you little bastard!" With an order from his mind, his body appeared at the front of the small stone bridge and he sent a powerful strike right towards Fang Xing .

In the end, Fang Xing had made good use of the earlier diversion to make it past the first half of the stone bridge, and the only thing the old Jing Guang's strike managed to do was cause Fang Xing to stumble a bit . Fang Xing borrowed the momentum and moved forward like a ray of light, allowing him to pass the small stone bridge in a single breath… .

After crossing, Fang Xing loudly laughed to himself with pride . "Hahahaha, you old bastard, your little grandpa here has still gotten inside! How do you—

"You… . Brothers! Let's go and kill him!" The disciples who'd already entered the Mysterious Domain were meeting up at that side of the bridge, and they immediately began to surround Fang Xing once they saw him . They'd also seen how Fang Xing had only waved his black flag earlier and caused half a dozen disciples to die mysterious deaths, however, so they didn't dare to actually go through with an attack .

Fang Xing coldly laughed . With a wave of his flag, thick black smoke billowed out and rose above everyone's head like a demonic cloud . "You all better not move, or else I won't mind killing a few to boost my name!"

Sensing how powerful this was, all of these all of these disciples' expressions changed and no one dared to move .

Fang Xing sneered and sat down at his end of the bridge before speaking towards the old monster on the other side . "Old Monster Jing Guang, now can we talk?"

"You've got some ability, brat, to be able to slip inside under my watch… . " The Old Monster Jing Guang's voice was cold and his expression was dark, as though he already understood Fang Xing's plan .

"Haha, I told you before that I have great abilities . It was that unlucky bi*ch who was too blind to see it and decided to annoy me… . " Fang Xing released a cold laugh before waving his hand . "Enough, there's not much time . The opening of the formation pivot lasts only a burn of an incense, so let's not talk trash . This group of disciples are all my hostages; if you don't want them to all die, you listen to what I have to say!"

Grand Elder Jing Guang's expression was still calm and cold . "Oh? So that's what you have planned? Using my disciples as hostages to threaten me after entering the Mysterious Domain? What courage, what guts! Even I am feeling admiration towards you! Tell me what you want!"

Fang Xing smirked . "It's simple . Your existence annoys me, so you stay the hell away and don't stand there at the end of the bridge . The path is a public space, and whoever wants to walk it should walk it . Even the mysterious coffins didn't say others couldn't enter, so why should you be so overbearing? This formation pivot is now under my control and I say whoever comes in comes in . In return, how about I temporarily won't make things difficult for your great great granddaughter? What do you say?"

The old monster Jing Guang's eyes remained calm and he didn't immediately respond . Jing Fu, on the other hand, became angry and yelled out, "Don't agree to it, Grand Elder! Let me go inside and kill this bastard!"

Yuan Shenglian quickly dragged her back and spoke to her in a low voice, "Calm down, Shimei Fu . The flag in that kid's hands is very powerful!"

Jing Fu was so angry even her teeth began to hurt, but she didn't actually rush onto the stone bridge . Secretly, she was actually rather glad she hadn't entered the Mysterious Domain too soon . That flag the brat had was incredibly powerful, and she didn't truly have the confidence she'd b able to fend it off . It seemed she'd caused a huge mess for herself!
