Scoring the Sacred Body of the Ancients from the Get-go - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Revenge Must Not be Served Overnight. Casually Killing the Genius of the Black Cloud Clan

A while later, Jun Linglong and Jun Zhangjian returned to Jun Xiaoyao.

“Young master, I got the Tranquil Spirit Tea.” Jun Linglong wore a smile on her slightly paled face.

“Alright, got it…” As soon as Jun Xiaoyao nodded his head, he noticed something unusual about how Jun Linglong and Jun Zhangjian appeared.

With a slight frown, he stood up and walked to Jun Linglong.

“Young master?” Jun Linglong’s expression froze. She felt a little uneasy.

Jun Xiaoyao raised his hand and gently wiped off the tiny bit of blood on the corner of Jun Linglong’s lips.

Such an intimate move made Jun Linglong blush out of surprise.

Jun Xiaoyao faintly asked, “What happened?”

It wasn’t that he liked Jun Linglong, but she was at least someone who stayed by his side.

Attacking her would mean a provocation against him.

“My apologies, Divine Child, but I couldn’t hold off Jun Wanjie,” Jun Zhangjian apologized.

“Explain,” said Jun Xiaoyao.

Subsequently, Jun Zhangjian told Jun Xiaoyao everything that happened.

“You’re still thinking about buying tea for me even after you’re hurt? Are you stupid?” Jun Xiaoyao said while shaking his head meagerly.

“I had to purchase the tea that you wanted, young master.”

Hearing a hint of pampering in Jun Xiaoyao’s words, Jun Linglong’s heart was as sweet as honey.

“Let’s go,” Jun Xiaoyao pushed back his sleeves and said with his hands behind his back.

“Where are we going?” Jun Zhangjian said subconsciously.

“To Jun Wanjie of course,” Jun Xiaoyao said with a smile.

That smile, however, was wreathed in coldness.

Is revenge a dish truly best served cold?

The interests of the whole Jun Family must be placed above everything else? Not for him!

Revenge wasn’t something that could be served overnight.

Since Jun Wanjie took the initiative to provoke him, Jun Xiaoyao didn’t have to let him down gently either.

On the other side, where Jun Wanjie was…

Hei Tu said with a hint of unwillingness on his expression, “My lord, since you are so powerful, why not you go straight to Jun Xiaoyao and suppress him?”

Seeing Jun Wanjie’s domineering actions earlier on, the adoration Hei Tu had for him was at its highest.

At the same time, he also believed that Jun Wanjie could definitely defeat Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Wanjie shook his head gently and said, “First of all, Jun Xiaoyao has the Sacred Body of the Ancient and the Bones of Supremacy. That means he’s no weakling.”

“If I wasn’t above him in both age and cultivation stage, it is true that I might not be able to defeat him.”

“Secondly, the Supreme Treasure of Yuantian is going to appear soon. Fighting Jun Xiaoyao would affect my status, thus giving the clan elders a reason to condemn me.”

Jun Wanjie had risen all the way from the bottom of the collateral system. He was in no way stupid.

On the contrary, he was very shrewd.

Earlier on, he attacked Jun Zhangjian and Jun Linglong to quell them. His true intention was to tune down Jun Xiaoyao’s arrogance a bit.

One could definitely say that he did it just enough to do so.

This way, he could achieve what he wanted. He would neither be blamed by the clan elders nor affect his participation in the contest for the supreme treasure.

“Your strategies are wise, my lord. I would’ve never thought of these at all.” Hei Tu couldn’t help but admire him even more.

“I can guarantee that Jun Xiaoyao will endure it for the time being. He wouldn’t dare to attack me, at least until the affair with the supreme treasure is over.

A sneer appeared in the corner of Jun Wanjie’s mouth.

However, as soon as his voice fell, a sudden shockwave rippled over outside the attic where he was.

“What’s going on?”

While Jun Wanjie was left stunned, a seal fell from the sky like a meteor.

“It’s the Seal of the Emperor!”

Jun Wanjie’s expression abruptly changed as he quickly fled.

Hei Tu’s face also turned pale as he morphed into a cloud of black vapor and escaped.

Boom!

The world was swinging!

The attic where Jun Wanjie lived was instantly reduced to ashes. A massive pit appeared where it once stood with large cracks propagating outwards.

Such a movement attracted the attention of countless people nearby.

“What happened? Is there an attack?”

“I think something happened at the attic of the Jun Family’s Sequence Five. Oh gosh, did somebody raze Jun Wanjie’s dwelling?!”

All of Nantian City grew more intense!

Everyone knew that the attic was the residence of the Jun Family’s prestigious Sequence Five.

Even when passing by did people have to be quiet, yet it was now razed to the ground.

A cultivator raised his head and abruptly pointed at the sky. “Look! Is that… the Jun Family’s Divine Child?”

Four figures stood in the sky: Jun Xiaoyao was at the forefront, with Jun Linglong, Jun Xuehuang, and Jun Zhangjian standing behind him.

Jun Xiaoyao had a hand behind his back while his other hand was making a gesture of the releasement of a seal.

Evidently, he was the one who launched the Seal of the Emperor.

“Jun… Xiao… Yao!”

A chilling outcry diffused alongside billions of lightning rays.

With a loud bang, a figure entwined in the light of thunder leaped into the air. It was Jun Wanjie!

His eyes were fixed on Jun Xiaoyao. Bolts of lightning were flickering unceasingly from his eyes as if two pools of electricity were rolling within them.

He didn’t expect Jun Xiaoyao to be so decisive.

He just said that Jun Xiaoyao would certainly not attack him before the affair with the supreme treasure ended.

Immediately afterward, however, he was immediately proven wrong.

Hei Tu also revealed himself beside his master, looking at Jun Xiaoyao with a frightened look.

He had only heard of Jun Xiaoyao’s name before, but he had never seen him in person until now.

This could be considered his first time seeing him.

His impression of him, however, was truly profound.

After all, Jun Xiaoyao razed their residence to ashes with one single strike.

Jun Wanjie forcefully suppressed his anger as he coldly said, “Jun Xiaoyao, what is the meaning of this?”

“Well, since when did you have the audacity to mess with my people?” Jun Xiaoyao’s tone was indifferent yet aggressive.

Jun Linglong’s heart was thumping constantly.

Many female cultivators who were spectating the scene also became more emotional, wishing that they could be in Jun Linglong’s place.

“I only just punished them by a little. It’s not like I did anything to them for real. Are you that petty, Divine Child?” Jun Wanjie’s voice was extremely cold.

“Yes, you’re right, I am being petty. Since that’s the case…”

Jun Wanjie nodded faintly and turned to look at Hei Tu.

Hei Tu’s heart sunk to the very depths of the valley as if he was plummeting through an ice cave.

“You are the one who started it, right? I guess it should be fine to kill a ludicrous follower like you.”

As soon as Jun Xiaoyao finished speaking, he extended his hand.

Magnificent Golden Energy erupted like a volcano and weaved itself into a massive golden runic hand.

The palm descended as Mount Five Finger with oppressive might.

“No, that can’t be!” Hei Tu was so terrified that he felt his soul leave his body.

This was the first time he had faced Jun Xiaoyao, so he naturally didn’t know how powerful the divine child was!

It was as if he was facing a young Supreme Emperor.

“That’s enough!”

Jun Wanjie also raised his hand. Rays of thunderous Divine Light intertwined, turning into a massive thunderous hand in an attempt to intercept Jun Xiaoyao.

“Do you think you could stop me from killing who I want to kill?” Jun Xiaoyao shook his head and sighed.

He extended his other hand. Dragon Qi erupted, turning into a golden dragon claw and colliding with Jun Wanjie’s technique.

This was the Abhijna he extracted from Long Haotian’s Dragon Essence: the Severing Dragon Claw.

From the other side, Jun Xiaoyao continued to charge towards Hei Tu.

Hei Tu gritted his teeth and once again unleashed the vaporizing technique exclusive to the Black Cloud Clan.

The enormous golden runic hand dispersed the black mist, but it hadn’t killed him.

“Huh? Is that all you got, Sequence Zero? If you can’t even kill me, then how could you possibly fight Lord Wanjie!”

Hei Tu’s figure condensed once again. His face was pale due to lingering fear, but he was relieved inside.

For a while, it seemed that Jun Xiaoyao couldn’t do anything to him.

“Are you really that dumb?” Jun Xiaoyao slightly tilted his head as if he was looking at a clown.

He raised his hand once again and drove the Divine Elephant Overpowering Force.

The pitch-black Furnace of Hell fell directly from above the sky, unleashing an unceasing attraction force like a furnace that refined gods and demons.

“No way! What is that!?” Hei Tu was so terrified that his soul left his body as he hurriedly vaporized once again.

All the black mist was instantly absorbed and refined by the Furnace of Hell.

From inside the furnace, Hei Tu’s miserable shrieks of horror rang out.

After a brief moment, the screaming had stopped…
