Supreme Uprising - Chapter 168

Chapter 168: A Mind Sword Leaves No Trace

"Yunyang, the Viceroy has killed off the Ice Frost Fort's Seven Chiefs and returned victorious . The entire Ice Frost Fort has been destroyed!" the Flame Emperor said animatedly as he entered Luo Yunyang's room .

Although this battle hadn't hurt the Nie Family directly, the destruction of the Ice Frost Fort was also a huge loss for them .

Even though it was a serious blow, the Nie Family didn't dare object under the circumstances .

When he'd heard the news, the Flame Emperor had been very pleased . Whatever the case, at least some of their pent-up anger had been released now .

The Flame Emperor had wanted to inform Luo Yunyang as fast as possible, so he had personally ran over to tell him . However, Luo Yunyang's room was completely empty .

"I'll be heading out to get some training and experience!" This message was written on a note Luo Yunyang had left behind . A trace of worry appeared on the Flame Emperor's face when he read it .

He immediately reported this news to Lu Qubing, who was on his way back . Lu Qubing wasn't shocked to hear this . He actually told the Flame Emperor that letting Luo Yunyang out to gain some experience might be a good thing .

Although his cultivation base was strong enough, his techniques and fighting skills were still a little deficient .

The Flame Emperor tried to locate Luo Yunyang's whereabouts through the Rising Dragon Army's information network .

Unfortunately, it seemed like Luo Yunyang had disappeared . An entire month of searching didn't yield any information .

To the Rising Dragon Army personnel who were trying to keep tabs on Luo Yunyang, no news was good news . They believed that Luo Yunyang would perhaps be hiding somewhere and training hard .

His training would probably be a process of growth .

———

Shanling, which was thousands of meters high, covered a very big area . Although it was one of the most important mountain ranges of the 13 Eastern Cities, ever since the first apocalypse, it had become a dire beast paradise .

There also seemed to be all sorts of powerful source beasts in the collapsible voids all around Shanling . In a photograph of the area, which had been taken at an undetermined time, one could see a huge scarlet bird over 1,000 feet wide beating its wings and raining down blazes .

The bird filled the sky with fiery rain and, although it hadn't landed on Shanling, the sky above the area had turned a blazing scarlet color .

Some people asserted that the moment the space barrier was breached, Shanling would become a disaster zone .

Although this inference had no solid foundation, there were still a lot of people who believed it . Besides, formidable dire beasts could be found everywhere in the deep recesses of Shanling .

Although the apocalypse had caused a big number of living organisms to die, the animals and plants that had survived now overflowed with vitality .

Ordinary trees were a good example of this . Shanling was teeming with massive trees, which were a rare sight in other places .

One could also hear bird cries and bestial roars in the area . The only thing missing was any traces of humanity .

A series of frenzied howls resounded throughout the Shanling Mountain Range . All the beasts and birds in the area fled frantically the instant they heard these cries .

They were no strangers to these howls . They knew that they belonged to the tyrannical king of this mountain ridge, the Black-Winged Ash Ape!

The Black-Winged Ash Ape was over 10 meters tall and had a pair of wings that enabled it to soar . It could also throw raging flames from its mouth . Humanity's strongest martial grandmasters tried to surround the S-Grade dire beast whenever they visited this place .

The tyrannical king of this mountain range was currently going berserk as it attacked a young man .

Although the Black-Winged Ash Ape was very big, it was also as intelligent as an ape . Plus, the wings on its back allowed it to fly like a bird at an extreme speed .

However, no matter how quick the Black-Winged Ash Ape was, whenever it tried to get close to this tiny human, the young man would somehow evade it .

Although his movements appeared very slow, this was just a misconception . Whenever the human took a step, he covered a distance of 100 meters .

A huge tree that took the brunt of the Black-Winged Ash Ape's attack crashed to the ground . The ape hurled a huge boulder that weighed over 5,000 kilos and made the whole area tremble when it struck the ground .

However, even though everything around him was being destroyed, the young man didn't feel any pressure .

The Black-Winged Ash Ape swung its huge claw downwards . As its claw was waved about, it seemed to blot out the sun . The human, who no longer wanted to play games, raised his fists as the huge claw descended and attacked .

Although the blow seemed ordinary, a giant green clock with a five-meter diameter suddenly appeared below the ape's claw .

A loud clash reverberated around as the giant clock shattered and the Black-Winged Ash Ape was blown up into the air .

The ape roared furiously and suddenly opened its mouth, sending a stream of scarlet flames surging forward .

When the flames flew out and mixed with the air's vitality, they instantly formed a huge blanket of fire .

As this scarlet sea of flames descended, even the rocks in the area combusted . The scarlet blaze, which was at least 3,000°C hot, could even melt steel bars .

No martialist weaker than a martial grandmaster would have any chance of surviving this surging sea of fire, yet the young boy was still standing amid the blazing ocean calmly .

When the flames were about to envelop him, a gold-and-silver clock appeared above his head .

The young man remained as still as a mountain . The torrential flames weren't able to harm him at all . The Black-Winged Ash Ape stared at the sky and howled . Then, its huge mouth gaped open once again and spewed out another round of flames .

This time, the flames were crimson!

The Black-Winged Ash Ape was obviously doing its best, but the young man unfortunately didn't so much as bat an eyelid when he saw the new batch of flames .

"This is all you are worth!" said the young man before he suddenly stared at the Black-Winged Ash Ape .

An ordinary person would have assumed that this was just an ordinary look, yet the instant Luo Yunyang stared at the ape, a three-inch long sword appeared in the air .

The small sword whizzed towards the Black-Winged Ash Ape .

The ape felt as though this small sword was the greatest danger it had ever encountered . Although it wanted to run or at least struggle, before it got the chance to do anything, the sword had already pierced through its heart .

When the weapon exited through its back, the Black-Winged Ash Ape crashed to the ground .

It was dead!
