489: Chapter 147: Underground Cavern_1 489: Chapter 147: Underground Cavern_1 This was the first ti Fla teor had ever been countered in such a way.
Within the falling Fla teor, Jiang Wang stepped out on the flas.
Another Dao Technique had been easily broken, yet his eyes shone brighter and brighter.
He felt excited.
The profound use of Totem Power opened his eyes trendously, and let him see more possibilities.
Descending at great speed in mid-air, he held his sword vertically with one hand to cut through the air, hastening his fall, while with his other hand, he made rapid incantations.
It almost seed like he intended to smash into his opponent with his Flesh Body.
Chee chee chee, chee chee chee.
Thud thud thud.
Clang clang clang.
…
Eight-Note Fla Sparrows.
While closing in rapidly, dense Fla Sparrows began bursting forth from Jiang Wang, targeting Qinghuo Gaozhi.
The Fla Sparrows were like bridges, connecting the two fighters.
The potency of this Dao Technique could not be taken lightly by any ans.
Yet Qinghuo Gaozhi remained unperturbed, simply extending and then clenching his flaming fist.
Those shrieking Fla Sparrows burst asunder before they could even approach, dissolving into nothingness in front of him.
Like moths to a fla.
But though he could control fire, he could not silence sound.
The eight notes harmonized together, each with its captivating rhythm, and each with its own form of attack.
Amidst the grand symphony of sounds, a fleeting expression of pain crossed Qinghuo Gaozhi’s face, but he did not retreat.
Instead, he leaped higher and struck a punch into the empty air!
That punch seed to hit nothing but air.
But Jiang Wang could feel that within the battle zone, the elental force of fire seed to be dispersed at a certain node, and all artificial guidance was expelled.
Dust to dust, earth to earth.
Everything returned to nature.
Of course, the Eight-Note Fla Sparrows also dissipated because of this.
Not even a ripple was raised any longer.
Worthy indeed of a tribe that worshipped the Fire Origin directly.
Qinghuo Gaozhi’s control over fire seed like an innate ability.
Using any kind of fire-based Dao Technique before him seed like an act of self-humiliation.
At least none of the fire-based Dao Techniques currently controlled by Jiang Wang could prove effective in front of Qinghuo Gaozhi.
Jiang Wang had only seen this level of control in the robed youth he had encountered in the Taixu Illusion Realm.
What intrigued Jiang Wang the most was how Qinghuo Gaozhi found that “node” belonging solely to the elental force of fire within this range.
This was terrifyingly interesting!
He had deliberately used a fire-based Dao Technique as an experint to test Qinghuo Gaozhi’s mastery over fire.
Now Jiang Wang had his answer.
So, he lets his sword soar!
Directly eting Qinghuo Gaozhi’s fiery punch.
Sweep, thrust, pull, slice…
The Sword Qi whirled wildly.
In an extrely simple yet fierce manner, he tangled with Qinghuo Gaozhi mid-air.
Qinghuo Gaozhi’s moves lacked flourish, consisting simply of pulling punches and throwing them out, but each strike was aid squarely at vital points, truly the boxing of soone who had fought on battlefields.
At this mont, Jiang Wang also acted in the most straightforward manner, his sword moves naless, yet each stroke carried a unique aura.
That was the embodint of all his swordsmanship, condensed into every single strike.
“Impressive!”
In the midst of their entangled combat, Qinghuo Gaozhi leaped back, exclaiming joyfully, “You indeed have the strength to contend for the top five!”
Although he still had no clear understanding of the strength of the other visitors from Celestial Sky, the records of visitors from Celestial Sky in previous years showed their strength was below a certain threshold.
The warriors of Floating Land believed this to be a limitation of the Celestial Sky passage.
Qinghuo Gaozhi was certain that within this threshold, the combat power displayed by Jiang Wang was definitely that of a master.
Being able to withdraw from the tangled battlefield at will was proof enough that Qinghuo Gaozhi hadn’t been pushed to his limits in the battle just now.
Of course, as it was rely a sparring session, Jiang Wang primarily used it as a ans to probe for strength.
Jiang Wang comnted with a mix of admiration and curiosity, “I truly wonder what a spectacle it must be for the Clan Leader to transform into fla!”
Qinghuo Gaozhi smiled and said, “I thank you for your auspicious words, and I hope that day cos soon.”
From these words, it could be inferred that he was not yet capable of transforming his entire body into fla, and it was unknown what his current limit was.
However, the re transformation of a single fist into fla was already quite powerful.
With just one fist transford into fla, Qinghuo Gaozhi’s strength was roughly at the level of the Inner Mansion Realm.
This wasn’t to say that he could be directly equated to the Inner Mansion Realm, as the two different cultivation systems could not be directly compared in such a manner.
It was purely from Jiang Wang’s own perspective that Qinghuo Gaozhi, with a single fist transford into fla, exerted the kind of pressure that was typical of an average Inner Mansion Realm powerhouse.
By a conservative estimate, if Qinghuo Gaozhi were to unleash his full combat power, his strength would be around the level of the External Building Environnt.
Moreover, the Celebrating Fire Division didn’t even rank within the top hundred in Floating Land.
It was only by initiating the point-star ritual that they secured Jiang Wang’s participation and hence a place in the ga of life and death.
From this, one could roughly surmise that the combat power levels of Floating Land were likely even higher than what Jiang Wang had previously imagined.
Jiang Wang now only hoped that those guys who had been influential in Qi Country wouldn’t be too arrogant in this world.
What if they got into trouble with the strong ones in Floating Land?
Then wouldn’t he…
be reaping the benefits?
“Clan Leader, now that you have so understanding of my strength, how do you plan to arrange things next?” Jiang Wang asked straightforwardly.
“Firstly, it’s impossible to increase the quota of Totem Power because it won’t be useful in the life-and-death chessboard,” Qinghuo Gaozhi said, perfectly exemplifying a tribe leader who knew the value of thrift in tis of scarcity.
After thinking for a mont, he continued, “As for the warriors to participate in the life-and-death chessboard, you can freely choose any warrior from the Celebrating Fire Division.”
“Does that include the warriors stationed in the ‘地窟’?” Jiang Wang asked.
He had heard Qinghuo Gaozhi ntion the ‘地窟’ before.
Although he did not understand what the ‘地窟’ was or what dangers lay within, it didn’t prevent him from grasping that it was where the elite warriors of the Celebrating Fire Division were stationed.
Qinghuo Gaozhi said through gritted teeth, “Of course!
I’ll have soone call back a team of rotating warriors right now.
However, because of the need to guard the ‘地窟,’ I can’t draw too many at once.
It will trouble you to review several rotations before seeing everyone.”
“Why go through such trouble?” Jiang Wang said directly, “Where is the ‘地窟’?
I’ll just go there with you!”
Qinghuo Qiming, who had silently observed the whole conversation, then spoke up, “The ‘地窟’ connects to the Dark Heaven passage, and it’s too dangerous.
You are the chess master of the Celebrating Fire Division and also the division’s hope for this occasion.
It’s best not to take the risk.”
Jiang Wang rely smiled, “What isn’t dangerous?
The ga of life and death doesn’t sound like a safe place either, does it?
I would really like to see for myself what the scenery of your ‘地窟’ is like!
And what this Dark Heaven is all about!”
“Good!” Qinghuo Gaozhi’s attitude was noticeably warr this ti, “Wu Zhu, please take this true warrior from the Celestial Sky to see our Celebrating Fire Division’s largest ‘地窟’!”
Qinghuo Qiming’s face imdiately turned pale, “Do I have to go, too?”
Qinghuo Gaozhi looked at him with a stern expression, “It’s just a matter of guiding the star general to the ‘地窟.’ Just showing the way, you’re not willing to do even that?”
Qinghuo Qiming’s mouth opened and closed several tis, but in the end, he said nothing.
He hung his head, his voice filled with dejection, “Co with .”
Having said that, he led the way toward the rear of the fire temple.
It was evident that he was very reluctant.
But he had no choice but to refuse.
Jiang Wang nodded to the sixteen veteran soldiers as a sign of acknowledgent, before following behind Qinghuo Qiming.
The Celebrating Fire Division’s seemingly somnolent old masters, one among the group suddenly asked, “What are we doing now?
What about us?”
Left behind, Qinghuo Gaozhi comforted them, “Go back and bask in the sun, rest up!”
The old master replied, “You’re the one who’s old!
I can still fight!”
Indeed.
Not only were they old and shaky, but they were also deaf as posts.
It was quite a feat for Qinghuo Gaozhi to have gathered them all.
At this point, he could only bite the bullet and shout back, “No need, no need for you all to step into battle!”
“What?
When do we set off?”

PS: So official readers have reported that chapters 142 and 143 are duplicated.
This is not the case.

But chapter 143 was released first.
The sequence has now been corrected.
Just click through, and the content will be different.
Or refresh the page, re-download, and you should see the chapter titles are now different.
