Transcending The Martial Peak - Chapter 82 The Tales Of A Hero
Sheng Tian was just recovering and there is no way he could be back to the peak in a span of few seconds. If it was so, then he would not even bother using the explosives.
He currently couldn’t face Qin Cheng. And the impact of the earlier explosion was clear as day. The floor was full of cracks even with the great quality it was built.
Sheng Tian got the explosive from an OverLord called “Old Grandpa Fart”. He still remembered the description of the treasure clearly.
Super Fart of the Old Granpa: Compressed and Suppressed inside Old Grandpa for countless years when he was in seclusion, these farts are no longer ordinary farts. These are Super Farts which an Ordinary human could only dream of but never produce. After being inside the Old Grandpa for so many years, these farts have become more and more powerful.
Finally, as their power reached an unprecedented level and the pressure they gave the old grandpa was so much that if he didn’t fart right away, he might explode due to his own farts!
But, how can a cultivator bend his head down to fate? He fought and fought. Under the unbearable torture, he grit his teeth and clenched his fist. Toughening his will and reaching the endurance level beyond Human limits, he didn’t give up as he continued to hold them in.
But alas, his farts one day became so powerful that he felt that he might destroy his house and kill everyone within a kilometer if he released them. If he didn’t, then he would explode and die!
A true man doesn’t hesitate to sacrifice himself for a noble cause. Hence, he decided to give up on his own life as he walked away.
That day, everyone looked at him like he was a hero. Yes, He was a hero! He was sacrificing himself for saving them. If he is not a hero, then who is?
All the neighbors of his cried and maintained silence to pay respects to his deceased soul. Finally, one of the hot-blooded youngsters couldn’t take it anymore as he shouted passionately “You Farted to save us.! Fart Lord!”
Following him one more youngster shouted “Thank you for your fart, Fart Lord!” one became two, two became three as three became all.
Everyone shouted, “Fart Lord, Thank you for your farts!”
At a distance away, the Fart Lord was sitting on a mountain, farting. The mountain already started sinking into the ground due to the sheer pressure of the fart.
As Fart Lord listened to the commotion, he felt his eyes becoming a little wet as he wiped the corner of his eyes and muttered “Yes… I will fart for you. I will only fart for you. My farts,.they…they have been worth it.”
As he spoke those words, a look of determination appeared on his face as he grabbed two cylindrical green bottles each at the size of a palm. He looked at them seriously and spoke slowly
“You shall carry the last of my farts for the younger generation and wait for my fated successor to inherit you.”
He then stood up and placed the cylinders under him as he continued his holy job.
The green bottles became the myths of the Mythical World as their tales traveled from place to place and became a night time story for all the children of the world! It became a legend many chased after their entire lives holding their farts putting their lives on the line! Legends were typically like this. They would not be eclipsed with the passage of time, but instead, they became histories that one tried to live up to.
…..
*Ssss* Sheng Tian sucked a cold breath and stopped his breath as he recalled this absurd legend. He looked at Leng Yue Yan and told her to stop her breathing till the gases disperse. Thankfully, she listened to him once without questioning.
‘Qing Cheng’ who was rushing to him, also heard that. Feeling that there might be a problem with the gases in the room, he quickly stopped his breathing.
All hail the Fart Lord! Even after his death, he could control the tempo of a battle!
…
Sheng Tian just did what he did to distract Qin Cheng for a second before thinking of any alternatives. By now, he is already feeling damn tired. The Cold beauty next to him was not in a good position either. She was definitely drained mentally and physically.
But now, only she could fight Qin Cheng, who probably is the strongest of all the devils they fought till now.
Sheng Tian let out a sigh. It seems like they hit an iron wall.
Leng Yue Yan looked coldly at Qin Cheng. She is the Ice Goddess of the Mystic Ice Sect. Regardless of her fate, her master treated her extremely well. There is no way she wouldn’t have any life-saving treasures. But they were far too precious. And once they are gone, they will be gone forever. This is the reason she was not willing to use them.
But left with no choice, she took out a jade slip, half the size of a palm. It was shining with faint blue light. Holding it in her palm, she pointed it at Qin Cheng and recited an incantation.
Seeing this, Qin Cheng’s expression turned into one of amusement and seriousness as he said: ” You are even willing to use your life protection seal, you must be desperate.”
Leng Yue Yan knew that once she used the seal in her hand, she would fall into a state of absolute weakness for at least 10 minutes and the seal would vanish from this world forever.
But now that things had come to this, she couldn’t back down. They had only two people standing and Sheng Tian was still trying to recover. Besides hoping that he would protect her in those ten minutes as her battle comrade, there is nothing she could do.
Sheng Tian more or less guessed the upcoming situation and moved closer to her. Qin Cheng looked at the couple with disdain like a human sees an ant. Then he took out a bamboo pole. It was similar to the one he used in the Forest of Bones to attack the duo. But, this one is longer, had black runes all over it. It is emanating a deathly aura.
Clearly, this one was at a higher level than the one they saw. Sheng Tian thought of the remaining 19 treasures and felt like throwing up. Why is there no insta-kill weapon? And then he looked at one treasure. It might be useful now.
*Screech* With a loud sound, a blue light encompassed the whole room as a blue phoenix phantom appeared in the air. In fact, it is better to say that it is only the head of the Phoenix. The cry of the Phoenix shook hearts and trembled souls.
At the same time, a Dark Energy appeared in the room. It was incompatible with the Ice Energy of the Blue Phoenix and is fighting for dominance.
The next thing they knew, the Phoenix head clashed with a Dark cluster of energy. The shock waves destroyed the Walls of the room, showing the passage they came by. Even the ceiling was blown away exposing the chamber of Inheritance above.
The blown out smoke settled and two barriers were seen. Sheng Tian and Leng Yue Yan were standing. Or rather, they were both trying to stand. Leng Yue Yan’s face was pale and her body was trembling continuously. Sheng Tian was trying to recover fast as the barrier was fading by second.
On the other side, Qin Cheng was lying on the ground with bloodied wounds. He was huffing and puffing.
But when he looked at the ones standing, he laughed maniacally and spoke incoherently “Huh…It’s not life protection, I didn’t think you would have ..Ice Phoenix’s protection… I lost but you won’t win..hahah!”
Then under the gazes of the duo, he burned off his blood essence and forcefully used his movement art to enter the circular formation.
Sheng Tian guessed what was about to happen and dashed out. *Boom* He was knocked back by the barrier which would still last for one minute.
This is one of the 18 Treasures he had not counting the armor Qin Qing wore. It is also a one time use barrier. It can protect from any attack below OverLord realm. It is simply too damn precious. That is also the reason Sheng Tian was so unwilling to use it.
But when he saw the magnitude of the energy levels earlier, he didn’t hesitate to put on the barrier. It saved their lives. But what he didn’t understand was why did this girl do something so crazy? At the crucial time, she couldn’t even set up a barrier and what would happen if his barrier failed? Isn’t this act of her as good as sending them both to their own deaths?
Poor Leng Yue Yan, she didn’t expect Qin Cheng to have something which could counter her Phoenix Protection. If Qin Cheng simply tried to fight, it would have been simply his death and everything in the way would be destroyed. Even with all the destruction, with it being directed opposite from them, she guessed that Sheng Tian’s barrier would hold them up.
Never did she think that Qin Cheng would have something so terrifying. This led to the collision of the powers between them and the shock waves were enough to take their lives. Thankfully, Sheng Tian had something up his sleeves.
Qin Cheng dropped into one of the circular seats. With his broken bones, ruptured internal organs, he had no way to sit. He has only one path: Death. Even so, he wasn’t willing to forsake his mission. He was alive from the blast earlier because of his own attack and the precious barrier he was given due to his position. But that too didn’t manage to change his fate.
He looked savage as he poured all the profound energy, blood energy, and life force into the red box without a shred of hesitation.
“Fuck!” Sheng Tian cursed for the Nth time as he tried to get out of the barrier. But it didn’t budge an inch. It is stated that once used, the barrier would stay for 1 full minute. 1 minute means 1 minute.
But Sheng Tian didn’t stop his attacks. He used his physical strength to fullest and even his sword arts. But he is currently not at his peak and is only able to exert 20% of his strength after some recovery.
Leng Yue Yan, next to him, had no power to help him. She drained all her mental and profound energy to activate the Phoenix’s protection and is only trying hard to not pass out. But her eyelids slowly started feeling heavy.
“F*ck this barrier master! Why did he have to design it this way? The ones inside can’t get out just like the ones outside can’t get in. That piece of shit. He is now leading me to death. If I do die successfully, I will kill that bastard in hell!” Sheng Tian really wanted to kill that bastard for coming up with this stupid design of a barrier. Shouldn’t barriers be flexible and easily customized? What happened to the product design? And why the f*ck did this have to be the only barrier talisman I had?
He complained in his mind as he attacked the barrier with each passing second. Finally, what felt like an eternity has passed.
And just as the barrier was about to disappear, Qin Cheng’s body on the circular seat transformed to dust and the red box broke with its pieces scattering all over the room.
A huge pressure descended on the entire room as an arrogant voice sounded ” Hahaha, I, Bloody Wolf am back!”
Sheng Tian had only one response “Go f*ck yourself”
