I Stepped on a Bug, and the System Says I Slayed a Dragon? Chapter 259 - 258: Meng Tianxuan: I’d Like to See if You Can

High in the sky, streaks of starlight appeared. Ye Fan and ng Tianxuan were inches apart, the cracks in their skin widening as visible spatial fluctuations spread out...

"Mad! You’re all mad!"

"You bunch of lunatics!"

Watching Ye Fan’s crazed expression, the Venerable Alliance Leader was so furious he could have cursed the man’s mother. It only confird his suspicions. ’This so-called Heaven-Blasting Gang is definitely unhinged!’

’Willing to throw away your life just to self-destruct?’

’You may not value your lives, but I, the Alliance Leader, certainly value mine!’

"Ye Fan, let’s talk this through!"

At this thought, ng Tianxuan’s courage failed him. He looked at Ye Fan and spoke, his voice softening completely.

"Why don’t we stop here? I was indeed reckless just now. There must be so misunderstanding..."

The words fell.

"..."

Ye Fan fell silent at his words but showed no intention of moving.

But the fluctuations of Star Force around his body only grew more intense!

RUMBLE!

His physical body disturbed space itself.

The air around him trembled, forming visible shockwave ripples that spread out in circles, twisting the Space Law.

The void began to crack as the power slowly pulsed.

"It’s a bit too late to be begging for rcy now, isn’t it?"

Ye Fan looked down at ng Tianxuan, the cracks spreading across his face like the branches of a tree as brilliant starlight leaked out from within him.

He looked ready to lose control and explode at any mont.

Seeing this, ng Tianxuan didn’t dare make a move. Ye Fan was right in front of him. If he really exploded, ng Tianxuan would definitely be caught in the blast.

’This is the self-detonation of a Venerable Realm expert!’

’It’s a gamble he didn’t dare to take...’

"Ye Fan, we don’t have to make this so ugly."

ng Tianxuan asked in a low voice, trying to calm him down. "Considering you’ve entered the Venerable Realm and have a great future ahead of you... why the sacrifice?"

"Tsk. Enough, Alliance Leader. If you’re trying to sway my state of mind... you’d better give up."

Ye Fan let out a laugh, having naturally seen through his intentions.

His Heaven and Earth’s Longevity technique had already been pushed to its absolute limit. He was just one step away from detonating it completely.

ng Tianxuan was starting to panic, even stooping to begging for rcy.

"You... you really don’t want anything?"

Hearing this, ng Tianxuan’s heart instantly turned to ash.

’The thing I fear most is encountering this kind of madman.’

’And now it seems the Heaven-Blasting Gang is full of them!’

Unwilling to give up, he asked again, "Is it really worth it? To self-destruct for a junior from the Heaven-Blasting Gang?"

"Worth it?"

Ye Fan said coldly, glancing back at Qin Yang.

"You’ve repeatedly sent people to Jianghai to disturb the peace of my Heaven-Blasting Gang’s disciples. This isn’t a question of whether it’s ’worth it.’ This is provocation, again and again..."

"If I don’t teach you a lesson this ti... you will surely offend my Heaven-Blasting Gang again in the future!"

"Ye Fan, must you be so extre?"

ng Tianxuan’s brow furrowed tightly.

’Teach him a lesson?’

’Your idea of a "lesson" is to self-destruct your physical body?’

’Isn’t that a bit too ruthless?!’

ng Tianxuan was speechless. He tried to persuade him again.

"The gap between an Earth Venerable and the Celestial Venerable Realm is imnse. Even if you self-destruct, you can’t kill , can you? Why make such a futile effort?"

"As long as I survive, I can use heavenly treasures to recover. But your self-detonation is another story! If you die, there’s no coming back!"

As he spoke, ng Tianxuan took a step forward, stared into Ye Fan’s eyes, and demanded:

"It’s not easy to reach the Venerable Realm through cultivation, is it? Are you truly willing to throw away a lifeti of cultivation for a junior?"

"Enough! Cut the crap, you old dog!"

Ye Fan pushed the last of his Star Force and cut him off sharply. "Do you really think everyone is like you? Strong on the outside but weak on the inside, nothing but a hypocrite?"

"Today, you insulted a mber of my sect! You *will* take this lesson!"

The next mont.

BOOM!

Ye Fan charged straight at ng Tianxuan, the wind whipping his robes, making them rustle.

Everywhere he passed, space shattered like a mirror, and a terrifying explosive sound shook the heavens!

"Dammit!"

ng Tianxuan’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly manipulated his Star Force to block.

But it was too late!

Ye Fan’s figure drifted, arriving precisely in front of his chest. He lit the fuse of his physical body, pushing Heaven and Earth’s Longevity to its absolute extre.

BOOM!!

Streaks of lightning exploded!

The temperature rose by thousands of degrees Celsius, blasting open a giant hole of indigo lightning.

The soaring starlight was blinding. The world turned into a vast expanse of white. The killing intent spread for thousands of miles. The figures of Ye Fan and the Venerable Alliance Leader collided and were subrged in the brilliant light.

......

Following the shocking scene, the sky was filled with brilliant starlight.

"No..."

Elder Li watched the scene in the sky, his face filled with grief.

The others in the room also shed tears, shaken by the scene before them. In an instant, the sound of sobbing filled the room.p>

’Another Venerable Realm expert is gone...’

Including the Jianghai Sword God and the others before, three Venerables had now fallen in Jianghai. Jianghai City had long since beco a graveyard for Venerables.

"Martial Uncle... are you gone too...?"

Li Qinghe’s eyes dimd. The sorrowful cries echoing in her ears only accentuated the bleakness of the mont.

But amidst her sadness, she felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had seen this sowhere before.

’This technique... why does it feel a bit like Grandmaster’s...’

Li Qinghe wiped her tears, unable to shake the feeling of déjà vu.

An inexplicable sense of familiarity sent her spiraling into her thoughts...

...

...

The massive boom propagated across the sky, traveling for a thousand miles.

「anwhile.」

At the triage area set up by the police.

Stretchers were scattered everywhere.

Police officers were lying around resting everywhere. ng Tianxuan’s Dharma Body had been so powerful that it had affected many people. This place had beco a temporary rest area, filled with those injured in the blast.

So of the resting officers looked up, staring at the strange spectacle in the direction of the apartnt building, so shocked they forgot their pain.

"Holy crap! This is even more intense than the Arrow God’s self-detonation!"

"You guys think... will this be enough to kill him?"

"Who knows? This isn’t a self-detonation! It’s basically a nuke!"

"Sigh, another Venerable has fallen..."

"..."

Xia He leaned against an armored vehicle, a cigarette dangling from his lips. He gazed worriedly at the sky, his heart growing heavier.

The power of that self-detonation was imnse. Even from several miles away, he could feel its terror. He had no idea how Old Qin was doing...

’You better not get into any trouble...’

Xia He exhaled a puff of smoke and squatted down, his mind heavy with worry. He took out his police ID.

He sighed silently.

He’d thought that after joining the police force, he would have so real power. He had even urged Old Qin not to slack off.

But now, he was only just discovering...

...that he couldn’t even dream of surpassing Old Qin; he couldn’t even see his shadow. That guy had left him far behind in the dust, to a point where he was completely out of reach!

The Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, alchemy, Top Level Venerable strength... even his tea-making skills were in a league of their own!

He was "a little bit" good at everything. Even the battle happening now was sothing Xia He couldn’t possibly get involved in.

If Qin Yang hadn’t helped him back then...

’I guess I’d... still just be a beat cop, wouldn’t I?’

’How can the gap between people be so huge?’

Xia He put away his police ID and looked up at the battlefield above the apartnt building, the white light reflecting in his pupils. "Old Qin, you better make it back alive for , buddy. I’m still waiting to grab so skewers with you after work."

"Captain Xia, stop watching. You should get so rest."

Just then, an officer walked over unsteadily and placed a hand on his shoulder. "You’ve been standing here without moving since the beginning. Get so rest."

The words fell.

"Sigh...."

Xia He sighed again, speaking with a helpless lancholy. "You guys don’t understand my sorrow. I can’t even help..."

As he sighed...

SWOOSH!

A piercing sound of sothing tearing through the air rang out.

All the officers looked up to see a figure streaking past, heading straight for the apartnt building, moving like a beam of light!

"Hm?"

Xia He, cigarette in his mouth, glanced at the figure, and his brow imdiately furrowed.

"Liu Wushuang?"

’Didn’t that old guy just leave? What’s he doing back here now?’

....

Several miles away, a streak of cyan light flashed past a magnificent building.

Liu Wushuang weaved between the buildings, rushing urgently toward the apartnt complex.

He had taken the advice earlier and hastily left the vicinity of the apartnt, but when the massive boom echoed out, he couldn’t stop himself from turning back.

’The thing I feared most has happened after all!’

’Soone from the Heaven-Blasting Gang self-destructed again...’

When Liu Wushuang reached a low-rise building not far from the apartnt and witnessed the dazzling white light with his own eyes, his heart shook violently, and old mories were stirred up once more.

’Again...’

Unbearable mories ca flooding back like a tide.

’Li Shui Lake... self-detonation... the Jianghai Arrow God...’

’It’s the exact sa scene!’

Days ago, the Arrow God had self-destructed just like this at Li Shui Lake, blasting the Demon from the Beast God Sect to smithereens!

Even though much ti had passed, Liu Wushuang still rembered every single detail!

Every detail of the Arrow God’s death was branded into his heart, impossible to ever forget.

But now...

a familiar scene was playing out once again.

Only...

this ti, the opponent was the Venerable Alliance!

It was as if history was repeating itself. What has been will be again.

"Sigh....."

Liu Wushuang stared at the approaching white light, a dazed look on his face:

"They even dare to force the hand of soone in the Celestial Venerable Realm. Are the people of the Heaven-Blasting Gang truly not afraid of death?"

....

「A few monts later.」

Above the apartnt building, the aftershocks of the self-detonation faded, and the smoke cleared.

Everyone watched the state of the battle with bated breath. Countless pairs of eyes were focused, staring at the figures, waiting for the person who erged to be Ye Fan.p>

However, the next mont...

the dense smoke parted.

The one who walked out first was not Ye Fan.

"Cough, cough....."

ng Tianxuan appeared amidst the smoke, his robes torn to shreds, his face covered in soot. He was a complete ss.

Everyone looked at his wound and gasped in unison.

Right in the center of ng Tianxuan’s chest, a bloody hole had been blown open. Crisscrossed white bones were visible, and one could clearly see the organs in his thoracic cavity, his heart beating powerfully.

He was a shadow of his forr magnificent self.

"Dammit, this Heaven-Blasting Gang really is a bunch of lunatics!"

ng Tianxuan pressed a hand to the bloody hole in his chest, channeling the Law to repair the wound. An indelible fear shone in his pupils; he was still shaken by the close call.

’That was too close!’

’I almost fell for the Heaven-Blasting Gang’s trap!’

’If I hadn’t channeled my Star Force in ti to avoid most of the damage, I really would have died here.’

But even so, Ye Fan’s self-detonation had still caused imnse physical damage!

"But no matter. I, the Alliance Leader, survived...."

ng Tianxuan’s expression suddenly darkened. He slapped away the surrounding Star Force and snorted coldly, "A few re Venerable Realm cultivators think they can kill ? They’re dreaming!"

Just then.

"Oh? Is that so?"

A cold voice suddenly ca from behind him.

Like a silent specter.

It instantly sent a shiver down ng Tianxuan’s spine.

"Who?!"

ng Tianxuan whipped his head around.

Only then did he realize that, at so unknown point, Lin Dong had appeared several ters behind him. With arms crossed, he was watching ng Tianxuan with an icy gaze.

Killing intent filled the air...

like a hunter who had cornered his prey.

Lin Dong didn’t hesitate. He charged straight at ng Tianxuan to kill him, igniting Heaven and Earth’s Longevity for a second ti. In an instant, the starlight was brilliant!

"LUNATIC!"

ng Tianxuan roared in anger, but his body was already being swallowed by the white light. His indignant howl swept across the sky, echoing throughout all of Jianghai City!

"I’D LIKE TO SEE IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY BLOW UP TODAY!!"

......
