Chapter 176: Each Word Eats At His Conscience!

Chapter 176 Each Word Eats At His Conscience!

Rock Sect was just as prominent and powerful as Heaven Tao Sect and they had long despised Heaven Tao Sect’s underhanded practices in the name of justice.

Because of that, the two sects had always been enemies.

The problematic girl kept making sarcastic remarks about Heaven Tao Sect while blowing more smoke rings. She seemed to be really enjoying herself.

The helicopter made a rumbling sound again as the propellers rustled up a strong wind.

“Listen up, little girl. This is none of your business. You had better leave before it is too late.” The people on the helicopter seemed to be afraid of the problematic girl.

The problematic girl’s eyes became bigger and her long fake eyelashes were now more obvious. “Scums from Heaven Tao Sect, I challenge you to say the same thing again to my face.” She spat this out with contempt.

Everyone was speechless. “This problematic girl is way too fiery!”

“Know your place. Do you really think we are afraid of Rock Sect? But since you said this, we will not show you any mercy.”

A clank was heard once he finished speaking. It seemed that some kind of machinery was in operation.

“That’s... That’s the armor-piercing missile.”

Once everyone had a clear vision of it, the crowd went berserk. Some were screaming in fear.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, an armor-piercing missile flew directly toward the plaza. There were flames at its tail and it was surrounded by heavy smoke.

Everyone was petrified and their faces paled. They did not expect Heaven Tao Sect to be so aggressive.

Armor-piercing missiles could penetrate steel up to five centimeters thick, so human bodies would definitely not be able to withstand that kind of impact. Moreover, they were extremely powerful. Should the missile explode, half of this plaza would be demolished for sure.

Just as the armor-piercing missile was still about thirty meters above the crowd, a water wall was formed in midair. The reflection of lights showed the varied colors decorating the water wall.

Boom!

The missile exploded upon hitting the colorful water wall. For a moment, flames covered the sky and a mushroom cloud was formed.

“What is this...?”

Everyone felt their throats turning dry as they witnessed everything. “What is this colorful water wall? How is it possible that it can block armor-piercing missiles? Not even one single spark got through!”

“Could it be... The legendary magic formation?”

It was rumored that one of Chu Xun’s strengths was the ability to set up all kinds of magic formations.

“Excuse me, may I know what that was?” Someone asked Titan out of curiosity.

“That is a magic formation set up by our master. Don’t worry, even a thousand of armor-piercing missiles will not be able to reach us, let alone a single one.” Titan answered honestly.

Everyone could not believe their ears. “Such a formation had the ability to block thousands of armor-piercing missiles that is truly a terrifying power.”

The people on the helicopter grew mad once as they recovered from the shock.

...

Three more armor-piercing missiles were sent flying right toward the plaza.

Everyone stared at the missiles coming toward them. It gave them a thrill to watch death approaching while remaining completely unharmed, as if they were walking at the edges of hell.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With three consecutive explosive sounds, the three armor-piercing missiles were blocked and exploded in midair. Flames and mushroom clouds once more covered the sky.

Seeing that the armor-piercing missiles could not penetrate the magic formation, everyone was relieved. Some even sat down and starting enjoying their wine, as they watched the mushroom clouds rising up after the explosion.

“We should just enjoy ourselves, and consider those missiles as Heaven Tao Sect setting off firecrackers to celebrate Mr. Chu’s opening of his manor.” Someone shouted.

“No, this is obviously a grand display of fireworks! It is my first time seeing such grand fireworks! This visit to Chu Manor is truly the experience of a lifetime! Not only did I receive a bottle of Immortal Water for free, but I also get to watch a free firework display!”

“I don’t care if it is firecrackers or fireworks. Why don’t you people from Heaven Tao Sect set off more? The livelier this banquet gets the better!” He shouted toward the sky, while holding his wine glass.

Heaven Tao Sect’s armor-piercing missiles were directed at the entire plaza, so everyone was angry at them now.

There was a skinny, dark-faced elder inside the helicopter who gave off an extremely fearsome vibe.

He was a grade-six Grandmaster. He stood in the helicopter and stared coldly at the warrior who just teased him.

“Launch the enhanced armor-piercing missiles!” He ordered coldly.

Clang!

An enhanced armor-piercing missile was slid into the launcher and ready for launching.

The enhanced armor-piercing missile was more than twice the size of the previous armor-piercing missiles, and its power was way more powerful than the original one. Should a missile like that explode, the top of Qianlong Mountain would be flattened.

“Do you really think that was all I have?” The grade-six Grandmaster from Heaven Tao Sect said coldly. His voice resonated across the sky and could be heard clearly everywhere.

People on the plaza already saw the enhanced armor-piercing missile being deployed.

“Look! Heaven Tao Sect is preparing another round of fireworks!” Someone shouted.

“Look at all those clowns. Armor-piercing missiles are nothing against the magic formation set up by Chu the Invincible.” Someone said, his disdain for Heaven Tao Sect clearly evident.

“Heaven Tao Sect, you just wait for Chu the Invincible to visit Xuanji Mountain and kill every one of you despicable people!”

Everyone started shouting at once.

For some who were more familiar with thermal weapons, however, they were in no mood to joke around.

“Unbelievable... That is an enhanced armor-piercing missile! I can’t believe Heaven Tao Sect can get their hands on such weapons, they must be insane...” Someone said in a trembling voice after having a clear look at the missile.

“What is wrong with you, brother? I don’t believe some enhanced armor-piercing missile can penetrate the magic formation set up by Chu the Invincible himself!”

That man then gave a detailed explanation of the power of enhanced armor-piercing missiles in the same trembling voice.

Everyone was stunned. Their faces gradually turned pale, and those enjoying their wine stood up anxiously as well. “The power of enhanced armor-piercing missiles can be ten times greater than the ordinary ones. Can the magic formation withstand such a strong power? If it fails to block the missile, we will all be dead in a second...”

“I will give you a chance.” The grade-six Grandmaster in the helicopter said, “If you leave Qianlong Mountain now, not only will I spare your lives, I will also overlook this entire matter. Should you insist on staying, however, you will become an enemy of Heaven Tao Sect and only death awaits. You had better not regret your choice today when you are about to die in our hands.”

The atmosphere turned stagnant all of a sudden. Everyone’s expressions changed as well.

“We must trust Chu the Invincible! The way I see it, the so-called enhanced armor-piercing missile is just another ploy from Heaven Tao Sect to scare us! There is no way it will break the magic formation!” That grade-two Grandmaster with a boy and a girl said confidently after seeing many people starting to have second thoughts.

“What if it can break through?” The grade-six Grandmaster on the helicopter said mockingly, “When the missile hits the plaza, the top of Qianlong Mountain will be turned into flat ground. How then will you shoulder the responsibility for all the lives lost because of your words?”

The grade-two Grandmaster’s expression changed. He knew that the opponent was trying to make him feel guilty, so he said with a sneer —

“Quit manipulating others with your evil words. We all know how powerful Chu the Invincible is. Your words alone will never break our trust in him!”

“Break your trust in him?” The man in the helicopter said, “All of you are here only for the opening of his manor, not to seek refuge. In that sense, you guys are not even his servants, let alone his friends! How many of you have actually met Chu the Devil in person? If you guys are not even his friends, where does the trust come from in the first place?”

Without giving the grade-two Grandmaster any chance to talk back, he continued, “Moreover, this is the opening banquet for his own manor, yet he is the only one absent. Where is his basic respect toward his guests? Isn’t he a bit arrogant to not even show up?”

“Nonsense! He must be busy with some urgent matter that is why he is not here. He also gifted us with Immortal Water and a powerful sword technique. Doesn’t this gesture show his respect well enough?” The grade-two Grandmaster said angrily.

“Fair enough! Even with all the gifts from Chu Xun, are those things more important than one’s life? If everyone now listens to you and stays, they will surely die when my enhanced armor-piercing missile hits. When that happens, how can Immortal Water and the sword technique be of any use? Who will pay for all the lives lost?”

That grade-two Grandmaster had nothing to say in return. His opponent was cunning and wise. He understood the human psyche extremely well and his words were sharp. Each word ate at his conscience, making it difficult for him to argue.
