After escaping from Tang Zhenshan's military compound that day, Lin Zhenbei suffered from nightmares for seven consecutive days. The final boss in those nightmares was none other than the youth before his eyes. He believed that he wouldn't run into him again today but didn't expect he'd have another encounter with him in Dongzhou.
Everyone saw Lin Zhenbei's expression transform from a confident one to one as if he had seen a ghost with his face going pale. They couldn't understand what happened and only saw Lin Zhenbei yell towards the pilot with a voice that seemed louder than the propeller's, "QUICKLY ESCAPE!"
Just like a cat with its tail stepped on, he closed the cabin's door right after he finished yelling.
"Why is he escaping?"
Everyone was perplexed. It looked as if he saw Jiang Xiu and then…
Tang Wenchong had heard from A'Dong that Lin Zhenbei had retreated in fear due to Jiang Xiu. Tang Zhenshan had ordered to cover up the reason his arm got crippled as well as the deaths of the other two Grandmasters. Tang Wenchong still had some doubts but he thought that it must've been true after seeing this scene.
Lin Zhenbei saw Jiang Xiu and ran the same way a rat would when confronted by a cat.
Jiang Xiu felt that this was too timely and that the name, Lin Zhenbei felt familiar but couldn't remember immediately. After looking at him, he recalled that it was the person who wanted to kill Tang Zhenshan.
"You want to escape?"
A cruel smile formed on his face.
It was clear from the way Jiang Xiu dealt with his enemies that he'd kill them to the last one, but the problem was that the other party was flying in the sky in a helicopter.
Jiang Xiu acted all of a sudden, walking towards the direction that the helicopter was flying towards!
"What is he doing?"
All of them were baffled.
"What the…"
The following scene left all them dumbstruck.
"Wind Control Flight Spell!"
The Divine Regalia on Jiang Xiu's arm suddenly shone and divine force rushed out. The golden sand scattered and formed a glyph. He stepped onto the void and actually climbed up in the sky as if there were an incorporeal flight of stairs there. He took another step and already reached several meters high, seeming as if he was flying up along with the wind.
"OH MY GOD!"
He's really flying!
Fudge!
The scene had only begun as Jiang Xiu stepped on the void and made his way towards the helicopter.
This scene was too horrifying.
Everyone below was left entirely stupefied!
Stunned!
Inside the helicopter, Lin Zhenbei's face turned awfully gloomy and a cold sweat formed on his forehead. Why did this youngster come to Dongzhou? Is he interested in Jiang City? It'll be difficult to take over Jiang City if this youngster is present there.
"Scoundrel!"
"Just where did that youngster pop out from?"
He rejoiced that he'd discovered him in time. If the helicopter had descended further down, he'd have to give an explanation to him.
"Grandpa Bei, look over there!"
The person beside him shouted as if he had seen a ghost while pointing towards the window.
Lin Zhenbei followed his finger and looked out, his eyes opened wide in shock. He saw Jiang Xiu come over towards him by walking in the sky. Fudge! This is too unscientific! How can a person fly in the sky?!
"Is this even possible?!"
Lin Zhenbei screamed.
Jiang Xiu's eyes had already turned completely black, divine force rushing out from his body, continuously resisting the air pressure and allowing him to move easily.
"No one can escape from this Deity."
Bang!
Jiang Xiu sent a kick at the tail of the helicopter, causing it to tremble violently. The tail had caved inside due to the kicks and had bent at a right angle. His kick packed quite the force. Just like how a fighter plane goes down after getting hit by a missile, the helicopter lost balance and crashed to the ground.
Fudge!
Holy Motherfudge!
The crowd cursed out using all kinds of swear words as it was too fuck*ng horrifying.
Their three fundamental viewpoints had all received a huge attack at this moment.
Tang Tao was in the worst situation. He took a great effort to climb up from halfway down the mountain and rushed into the Heavenly Dao Religion's temple, unleashing the rage in his heart, "This Daddy shall cripple you today, surnamed Jiang!'
But the outcome was that he was almost frightened to death from the scene he witnessed.
Could he even succeed in taking revenge?
The helicopter released a noise similar to a dying beast's howl and plummeted towards the ground. It crashed into the mountain forest then exploded into flames.
Lin Zhenbei, a person who had terrorized for over a generation, was no more.
"Da Nian, hit me once…" Chu Qiancheng couldn't dare believe what he was seeing. He could still believe Jiang Xiu intimidating everyone by displaying his overbearing power but the current scene was too much for him to imagine. He believed that he was certainly dreaming right now.
Slap!
Da Nian slapped him firmly, "Does it hurt?"
"It hurts!"
This is real. My good brother who had grown up with us has actually become such an ultimate expert.
Ye Yiliang almost lost his mind by now. Jiang Xiu had exceeded his imagination again and again.
"T-This youngster…"
"What realm has he reached?"
Old Lin said powerlessly, "Walking in the void, it only exists in the legends. I never expected that it was real. Only those Immortals from the legends possess such abilities like flying in the sky."
"Even I'm clueless, it had already exceeded the stages I know."
Ye Yiliang was really shocked, "It's really unexpected. He's actually so powerful."
Jiang Xiu had taken down Lin Zhenbei, the only obstacle preventing him from taking over Jiang City. No one could stop him now. From now on, he was the lord of Jiang City's underworld.
Everyone had mixed feelings about this.
Right now, Jiang Xiu had almost used up all the divine force in his body. Wind Control Flight Spell was a low-level spell. On the Immortal Martial Continent, even a 10-year-old child could use it. However, it was an Immortal Art, while Jiang Xiu possessed a Godhead. Arts of the Immortal attribute didn't match well with a God so the divine force depleted quickly. This was something inevitable. For Divinities, as long as they matured to an older age, something like flying was akin to an instinct for them. They didn't need to learn a divine art to fly so no divine arts for flying didn't exist.
Whoosh!
He descended down from the sky and landed on a tall tree within the mountains. Dispersing half of his power, he jumped lightly and then again jumped forward, dropping beside the site where the helicopter exploded.
Smoke still filled the air and flames blazed across the ground. The helicopter was already broken into pieces, scattered and smashed due to the explosion. The ground had blackened and a body crawled around on the ground.
It was Lin Zhenbei!
The reason he was able to survive the crash wasn't related to his ability, he just had better luck than others.
"Did you think you can escape after this Deity had spotted you?"
The air seemed as if it was roasting due to the heat. He looked towards Jiang Xiu with great difficulty. Lin Zhenbei had suffered a blow to his head and couldn't make black from white. He was only able to vaguely see Jiang Xiu's silhouette, which stood there similar to a demon looming over him.
"S-Save me!"
"Why should this Deity save you?"
"You have to save me…"
"If I die, no one will know the secret of the Dao Soldier."
Lin Zhenbei was quite determined to vie for the position of Dao Soldier and also hoarded the sculpture of the Heavenly Dao Religion's God. The reason he was so determined was because he knew the secret location where the Dao Soldiers were to gather for the opening of the Gate.
Lin Zhenbei assumed that this was the real reason Jiang Xiu had arrived here.
"You've… fought for the position of the Dao Soldier, betting your life and finally won, but you still didn't see the Immortal Gods opening the Gate."
"Don't you think it's strange?"
Jiang Xiu sneered. If it was someone else, they might have saved Lin Zhenbei under this threat, but he had chosen the wrong person to threaten.
Jiang Xiu already knew that it was actually the Heavenly Dao Religion's God acting behind-the-scenes. The same God who was almost swallowed by him before. The reason he had arrived here this time wasn't to take over Jiang City's underworld. The main reason was to actually capture the Heavenly Dao Religion's God. He surmised that his Divine Regalia would awaken into the next Mythical realm after swallowing him.
"S-Save me…"
"I'm dying."
Jiang Xiu looked at him with an expression of ridicule. "Your martial arts are pretty high so you should've been able to protect your Heart Vein. Only, it's a pity that you'll still die if you lose too much blood."
"You'll at most last another few minutes with the pace you're bleeding with right now."
Lin Zhenbei shouted, "NOO!"
"Save me, I know the secret of Dao Soldier!"
"It'll be buried forever with me if I die…"
His voice turned softer, breath weaker and finally, he stopped breathing.
"You're talking too much!"
Jiang Xiu kicked Lin Zhenbei, causing his body to fly out.
He was on his last dying breath, but had finally died.
As this place was the Heavenly Dao Religion's ritual place, and the origin of the Divine Faith, the Heavenly Dao Religion God would've never renounced this location. Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao Religion wouldn't have flourished after it had disappeared. To him, this Divine Faith energy must've been quite important.
Jiang Xiu had complete confidence that he could find him.
