Chapter 516: The Mountain Collapses and the Ground Splits
Ling Fan felt the rumbling vibration beneath his feet, and his expression changed slightly.
"Holy Princess, this old fellow seems to have some tricks up his sleeve. What kind of spell is this!" Ling Fan frowned and couldn't help but ask for advice.
"It's nothing, just petty tricks!" Holy Princess said indifferently.
Ling Fan, "..."
Official Ling was somewhat speechless. What kind of answer was that, not giving any constructive suggestions at all!
"Boy, today I'll let you see what real Technique Law is!" Huangfu Yang's voice boomed like a bell, rolling out.
Ling Fan chuckled coldly, "Old man, although I don't know what kind of trick you're playing, I still advise you, to me, your technique is nothing but petty tricks.
If you don't want to die, then quickly back off and let Yong Xinghua come out to see me!"
With these words from Ling Fan, Huangfu Yang was almost angered to the point of spitting blood.
"Arrogant young fool, you're absolutely infuriating me. If you want to see Yong Xinghua, you'll have to get past me first!" Huangfu Yang roared.
Immediately after, the rumbling beneath his feet grew stronger, even beginning to feel like a shaking sensation.
The Holy Princess in the Sea of Consciousness was also speechless. When she referred to them as petty tricks, she was evaluating them from her own perspective, not Ling Fan's. This guy really didn't pull any punches!
"Not good, why is the ground shaking? It's an earthquake, an earthquake!" Someone immediately started shouting in panic.
As the mountain shook violently, the onlookers instantly panicked, and some couldn't help but run down the mountain.
But before they could take a few steps, they fell to the ground.
At this moment, many people couldn't even stand steadily, let alone run. Everyone had come just to watch the spectacle, not to risk their lives. Who would have thought the scene could turn so terrifying!
Not far away, a weathered rock suddenly let out a 'boom' and collapsed amidst the violent shaking.
Zheng Nan sat on the ground, pale-faced, "Young Master Huo, is Huangfu Yang human or divine, capable of shaking the Nine Dragons Mountain? I thought Cao Letian, Qin He, and the others were already terrifying, but compared with this, it's like night and day!"
Huo Yingbo also fell to the ground, his forehead beaded with cold sweat, "Damn it, we're not going to die here, right? If I had known, I wouldn't have come at all. This is sheer madness!"
All the people present were scared out of their wits, completely flabbergasted, with some of the more faint-hearted girls shedding tears in fear.
Concealed among the crowd, Tang Anqi crouched on the ground, also shaken with fear, but her eyes shone with excitement and anticipation. With such divine might, she would be more confident in killing Ling Fan.
As long as she could kill Ling Fan, she was willing to sacrifice herself on Nine Dragons Mountain today.
Tang Caiyan and her two companions stood not far behind Ling Fan, leaning against a white poplar next to the stone steps, their faces pale. If they weren't holding onto something, they would've fallen just like most people.
However, the thoughts in their eyes were complex. If Ling Fan were to be defeated, they would indirectly have their revenge and regain their freedom, no longer having to bow their heads to him or live with the stigma of treating a traitor as a father.
If Ling Fan won, following such an impressive boss, they would no longer have to fear anyone bullying them.
As they weighed their options, the pros and cons made them genuinely conflicted.
As for Tang Caiyan, her thoughts were relatively simpler. After all, it wasn't her father who Ling Fan had killed, and her hatred wasn't as deep-seated. On the contrary, she began to harbor some unusual feelings for Official Ling.
Ever since ancient times, beauties have loved heroes. This cycle of love and conflict is often born from continuous interaction and contradiction. After witnessing Ling Fan's actions and behavior all this time, Caiyan's heart was being captured unaware.
"The Qi comes!" Huangfu Yang channeled a Spell Formula with his hands and shouted loudly.
At that moment, a thick grey fog rose from the mountain, enveloping the area, and the trembling of the mountain gradually subsided.
Seeing the shaking come to a halt, everyone finally sighed with relief. But just as they were calming down from the shock, they were again put on edge by the astonishing sight before them.
Only to see the grey mist that enveloped the mountain suddenly converge towards Huangfu Yang like rivers flowing into the sea.
Ling Fan's pupils shrank slightly upon seeing this—he had no intention of letting his opponent accumulate momentum like before.
Especially since the old fellow before him seemed no simple matter. With the big show he'd put on just now, what if Ling Fan waited until he was fully powered up? How would that end?
With that thought in mind, he was about to make a move.
"Wait, let him gather his power, don't mind it!" The voice of the Holy Princess suddenly came through.
Official Ling was just about to strike when he abruptly halted, looking puzzled, "If I wait until he's ready, won't I be at a disadvantage?"
It was at that moment Huangfu Yang burst into a loud, triumphant laugh, "Boy, today you can die with no regrets!"
I have spent more than thirty years on this Nine Dragons Mountain searching for the perfect spot, setting up forty-nine arrays according to the lay of the mountain veins, gathering the Earth Vein Qi of the Nine Dragons Mountain Range.
I never thought I'd have the chance to summon the might of the Earth Veins in my life, for its appearance demands a price in life force!"
"Hmph, putting on airs, just like Wu Hua. It seems the Xiangjiang School of Law all resort to such underhanded tricks!" After hearing this, Ling Fan couldn't help but let out a sneer.
"Nonsense, how could someone like Wu Hua be compared to me!" Huangfu Yang became furious with anger.
He then bellowed loudly, "Earth Dragon, appear!"
Immediately, the grey mist that was almost condensed into droplets around Huangfu Yang began to churn, as if something was about to be hatched.
The next moment, under the shocked gazes of the onlookers, the writhing grey mist gradually took the shape of a giant dragon, tens of feet long.
As soon as the dragon appeared, a vast and ancient aura hit everyone's face. Its whiskers, horns, and scales were all vividly lifelike, especially its eyes, which seemed to possess spirituality!
The crowd watching widened their eyes, feeling their souls freeze with just one look from the dragon, turning them to stone on the spot.
"Damn, is this thing real?" Ling Fan took a deep breath, a bit frustrated.
"Could I use Exotic Fire? It should be able to resist this thing, right?"
"This Dragon of Earth Veins is forcibly formed by an array, containing the mountain spirit of the Nine Dragons Mountain. That's why it seems so real, as if it has a soul, but in reality, it has no true consciousness of its own.
As for Exotic Fire, that's no issue, but the key is that you can't unleash one ten-thousandth of the Exotic Fire's power right now, which is not enough to counter the Earth Vein Qi!" The Holy Princess immediately put things in perspective.
Ling Fan felt a bitter taste in his mouth and complained without good humor, "Sister, then why didn't you let me make a move just now? That Law Cultivation old guy is fragile as can be. If I had blown him up with one punch earlier, we wouldn't be in this mess now!"
"Less nonsense, would I harm you? The Earth Vein Qi that he's gathered is something rare on Earth, and you can't miss this opportunity.
This Qi is very beneficial to you. When he attacks you later, just run your Cultivation Technique with all your might, I will give you a hand with the rest!" The Holy Princess spoke indifferently.
Official Ling's eyes lit up with joy upon hearing about the benefits. With the help of the Holy Princess, he felt greatly relieved.
However, Ling Fan's expression, when noticed by Huangfu Yang, seemed an outright mockery.
"Hmph, what a foolish thing, still ignorant even at death's door, and yet you can still laugh. Truly a rare breed!" Huangfu Yang coldly scoffed, speechless.
"Go!"
Following Huangfu Yang's command, and with the casting of a Dharma Seal, the grey giant dragon, as if summoned, let out a dragon's roar to the sky, then abruptly lunged towards Ling Fan.
That single motion disturbed the elements, winds surged, and sand and stones scattered. Trees and vegetation within a several dozen feet radius were uprooted, and those standing a bit closer were knocked to the ground by the fierce gale!
The entire scene depicted the cataclysm of a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting open!
