Chapter 1640 - Black Fog
Troops were hurtling toward Yin Xing City from the south, where the Heavenly Palace lay.
Empress Ling Long was at the head of these troops, with Cang Yue by her side.
They had been extremely distressed ever since Tian Ling had been taken by the Jet Black Snakes.
They’d pleaded for volunteers to go and help bring back the captured disciples of the Heavenly Palace.
“They destroyed our teleportation formation and kidnapped our disciples. How can we agree to pay a ransom to them?” A discontented voice was raised within the troops.
It resonated with many people. They had to stop continuing on this path.
“The vice leader of the Heavenly Palace became a Venerable Sovereign to strengthen us against these forces, but he seems to have lost his moxie,” the same person spoke again.
“What?” Mo Kuang was stunned. Of course, he’d expected Jiang Chen to run, but he’d never thought that Jiang Chen was this impressive.
He’d disappeared with a dozen people without leaving a trace.
“You’ve been abandoned.”
Mo Kuang clenched his teeth with rage. He wanted to chase after them but he didn’t even know where they’d gone. His snake eyes looked at Ye Xue. With the same obscene ideas in his mind as his son had had, those eyes turned even more twisted and evil under the rage for revenge.
Ye Xue remained calm and unperturbed.
Soon after, Jiang Chen came back alone.
Mo Kuang realized then that Jiang Chen had sent the other people to a safe area. Even though he was infuriated, he’d come to understand that Wu Ming was probably not around.
“Since you asked to die!”
All of a sudden, Mo Kuang struck without warning. He wanted to take out Jiang Chen first.
His second in command led the Savage Snake Fighters to attack Ye Xue so that they could take her as a hostage to prevent Jiang Chen from escaping, trying to use the same ruse as before.
“Don’t worry about me.”
Ye Xue had detected Jiang Chen’s hesitation and said immediately, “It’s time for the world to see the power of the Supreme Venerable Spiritual Heart.”
“All right.”
Jiang Chen chose to believe in his apprentice sister and focus on dealing with the Venerable Sovereign.
“Thousands of Snakes Gnawing Heart!” Mo Kuang’s technique was more eerie than fierce.
A black fog tumbled around like a smoke signal, heading down from above. The edge of the black fog turned into countless venomous snakes as it was coming for Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. Despite its haphazard look, the black fog had a frightening power to crack a target’s Protective Dipper Energy.
Jiang Chen wanted to find out if his Athanasia Armor of Divinity could withstand it. So he let the black fog engulf him.
Mo Kuang couldn’t resist a smirk. Nonetheless, this had seemed too easy for him to relax.
He was relieved a bit after realizing that Jiang Chen was indeed inside the black fog.
“Turns out they’re just two morons.” Mo Kuang felt assured, contemplating now how to torture Jiang Chen in order to vent his anger over the killing of his son.
WHOOSH!
All of a sudden, Mo Kuang found that the black fog was spinning frantically.
Frowning, he realized that this would never have happened under normal circumstances. No one understood the black fog better than he did.
“Is it possible that he can hold out against the black fog?” Mo Kuang couldn’t believe it.
Extremely toxic and corrosive, the black fog had been melted by Mo Kuang himself with great difficulties.
Any enemy, no matter whether they were exuberant and vigorous or exceptionally skilled at defense, would lose their bearings in the black fog.
