Chapter 5154 A Bet

Divine light exploded with dazzling brilliance, and Eternal energy surged skyward. Amidst the tumultuous space, a long-haired man held the Dragon Bone Zither effortlessly in one hand. The zither’s destructive power was contained by him, even as its wild energy twisted the surrounding space, making it difficult for the onlookers to discern his features. The spectacle left everyone in stunned disbelief.

Bai Yingxue and the others initially thought that Long Chen had come, but this man’s aura was completely different from Long Chen’s. They looked up to see that the Earth Cauldron replica was still there, confirming that Long Chen hadn’t come out.

“Who are you?!” exclaimed Qin Keqing.

BOOM!

With a forceful shove, that man sent the Dragon Bone Zither flying back at Qin Keqing. Its string boomed as it smashed toward her with even greater destructive power.

Qin Keqing’s expression changed. Her Heavenly Fate Disk spun rapidly as she formed hand seals. An enormous hand then stretched out of her manifestation and caught the Dragon Bone Zither.

BOOM!

The hand caught the Dragon Bone Zither, but Qin Keqing was sent stumbling back over a dozen steps before regaining her footing. She gripped the zither tightly, fighting the urge to cough up blood.

“Tch, to think a treasure like the Dragon Bone Seven String Zither would end up in the hands of a shrew like you. What a waste. How unfortunate,” sneered that man.

“Bastard, who are you?!” Qin Keqing cursed, her voice laced with fury.

With the space around that figure still twisting, his voice echoed through with a layered, eerie quality that made it impossible to identify him.

This person’s arrival shocked everyone. After all, he had just blocked Qin Keqing’s Dragon Bone Zither barehanded—this was a Human Emperor divine weapon! Among all the experts present, including Lu Fan, Li Tianfan, and Yan Hong, none of them dared to do this.

Although Qin Keqing hadn’t used her full power, could the terrifying power of a Human Emperor divine weapon really be blocked by a body of flesh and blood?

The mysterious man clasped his hands behind his back and raised his head toward the sky, saying, “The limitless palace in front of the limitless mountain, the limitless trees before the limitless gate, the dreams of heavenly geniuses vanish without a trace as soon as they encounter Mo Nian!”

As he spoke, the space around him gradually settled, revealing a figure in a black cloak. He could be considered handsome, but he still had a trace of baby fat on his face.

His bright eyes and high nose complemented his features, which should have been strikingly attractive. But for some reason, he gave off an extremely wretched and wicked feeling just by standing there.

This person was none other than Mo Nian. Having undergone his tribulation in that immemorial expert’s tomb, he immediately rushed over to join forces with Long Chen. This time, he arrived at the crucial moment; had he been any slower, Bai Yingxue and the others would have died.

After sending Qin Keqing’s Dragon Bone Zither flying, Mo Nian clasped his hands behind his back and secretly took off a dragon scale glove from one of his hands.

In truth, this fellow had profited immensely this time, and he had found a precious glove in the tomb. Through the undying will of its former master and his own unique techniques, Mo Nian had managed to awaken its power, making it an invaluable asset.

With this Human Emperor divine weapon-class glove, Mo Nian dared to block Qin Keqing’s Dragon Bone Zither with his “bare hands”. Seeing their shocked expressions, Mo Nian swelled with pride. He was incredibly pleased.

Mo Nian put his hands around his mouth and shouted at the Earth Cauldron, “Long Chen, there’s no rush for you to come out! Actually, you should just stay there. I’m here, so there’s no need for you to join in!”

Mo Nian wasn’t sure if Long Chen could hear him, but his intention was clear: he wanted everyone to see that he had truly blocked a Human Emperor divine weapon with his bare hands.

“Mo Nian!” Lu Fan’s rage erupted instantly. His face twisted in fury, as though he had just seen the person who had killed his father.

Mo Nian feigned surprise, examining Lu Fan with a curious expression. “Oh? You look somewhat familiar. That scar on your face—are you the guy I hit with my shovel that day? Yes, that’s right. Brother, what’s your name?”

“Die!” Lu Fan roared, his voice echoing with deadly intent. He summoned his Brahma Blade once more, and his Heavenly Fate Disk spun to reveal Lord Brahma’s figure. As his aura ignited, he swung his sword at Mo Nian.

“Hehe, do you think I’m still the old Mo Nian? Foolish child, if I don’t beat the crap out of you today, I wouldn’t be Mo Nian!” Mo Nian chuckled, raising his hand with a confident smile.

A sword appeared in Mo Nian’s hand, radiating a divine light so intense it was like a blazing sun. Its brilliance made it difficult for anyone to keep their eyes open.

BOOM!

A violent eruption of qi waves shattered the land. The earth trembled and cracked, and the laws of the Heavenly Daos were thrown into chaos.

The surrounding experts were sent reeling by the force of the blast. Only the likes of Li Tianfan, Yan Hong, Huang Wudao, Qin Keqing, and Luo Yujiao managed to stay grounded. Heaven and earth flickered as debris flew through the air. It became clear that Mo Nian had actually blocked Lu Fan’s Brahma Blade with his sword.

The two divine weapons clashed fiercely. Mo Nian and Lu Fan stood face to face, with Lu Fan’s killing intent pouring out like a relentless storm, while Mo Nian regarded him with a look of disdain.

“Last time, I didn’t have a decent weapon to use against you, which was why you had the upper hand. Now that I also have a Human Emperor divine weapon, your advantage is gone. What can you possibly use to fight me?” asked Mo Nian.

“Don’t think that a single Human Emperor divine weapon can save your dog life! You’re definitely dead today!” exclaimed Lu Fan through gritted teeth.

Last time, Lu Fan had fallen for Mo Nian’s trap and been struck in the face by his shovel. The anger he felt then had nearly driven him to the brink of explosion.

Because of that, Lu Fan’s hatred toward Mo Nian might even surpass his hatred for Long Chen. After all, Long Chen was a rival of equal strength, but Mo Nian was someone he should have easily crushed. However, Mo Nian had managed to humiliate him so badly.

It was like a prideful lion being provoked by a mosquito but couldn’t do anything to it. That flavor was something only Lu Fan knew the taste of.

“Oh? You have such confidence in yourself? Then do you want to make a bet with me?” asked Mo Nian, his gaze roving around.

“What do you want to bet?”

“If you lose, then instead of calling yourself a son of Brahma, how about you call yourself a son of Mo Nian?”

“Go fuck yourself!” Lu Fan exploded in fury.

“Why so rude? Fine, I’m not going to give you that title. I don’t have such a terrible son,” replied Mo Nian as he shook his head.

“Brahma Possession!”

With a roar, Lu Fan merged with the figure of Lord Brahma behind him. His aura surged a hundredfold, sending a powerful force crashing into Mo Nian and forcing him back.
