Chapter 1256 - Gentlemanly Demeanor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The moment they exchanged blows, Guitian Danteng immediately realized that this Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master who should have lost eighty percent of his strength and was severely injured seemed completely unhurt. Not only did all of his injuries vanish, his strength was not depleted the slightest. This terrifying fact made Guitian Danteng who had his mind full of picking on an advantage feel extremely dejected.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The attacks of the Nine Nether Fourteenth Young Master who was practically back in his top form was unstoppable. Guitian Danteng struggled to handle them, and was hoping that Meiwei Liangqiang would quickly finish up with that Jun Moxie to come and assist him. But who would’ve known that this reliable comrade had suddenly started his Heavenly Tribulation at a time like this. This... Isn’t this joking around with our lives?

It’s nothing if you’re kidding around with your own life, but now you’ve dragged me into your joke too. Our ten thousand years of relationship doesn’t include this sort of play...

“How can I be going through a Heavenly Tribulation, ah...” Meiwei Liangqiang was also extremely depressed, spitting out black smoke as he walked out from the crater. There was not a single part of his body that wasn’t hurting. He looked up at the sky. F*ck. Could I not know whether I’m going through a tribulation? Besides, there’s no tribulation clouds in the skies, ah... What’s going on? That bolt of lightning was a solid tribulation lightning! Not fake in the slightest bit!

“I say... You, ah, You...” Jun Moxie said solemnly, with a hint of disdain, as he shook his head. “I already said it’s not right for you to flash your spear behind your sister’s bum1

... That’s incest ah... And incest will incur the wrath of the Heavens... Look, you got struck by lightning didn’t you? Hurry up and go get your name changed. If you don’t change it, you will be struck again ah...”

“Idiot!” Meiwei Liangqiang roared furiously. “This is a coincidence! It’s purely coincidence!”

“Pfft. Purely coincidence! Then what about this time? Is it still merely a coincidence?” Jun Moxie asked.

Meiwei Liangqiang instantly detected something amiss and looked up. To his horror, the entire sky was filled with that purple light from the bolts of a lightning tribulation, the thickness of a house! And the quantity this time was ten folds the previous round!

A total of a thousand lightning bolts were all gathering above his head!

And the most dreadful thing was that the lightning tribulation showed no signs of stopping! Crashing straight down!

One after another! At Meiwei Liangqiang!

This terrifying might made Meiwei Liangqiang suddenly recall that Heavenly Tribulation he had suffered when he entered the stages of a Half-Sage! It was even more intense than the one back then! And he still remembered how he almost died back then...

Amidst his cry of horror, Meiwei Liangqiang didn’t have any time to consider. He rapidly channeled all his skills to take on the impact of the lightning tribulation!

On the other side, Guitian Danteng shouted in exasperation: “You! You! Lord Meiwei! Why do you still say that you’re not going through your tribulation! This... What is this? I, I... You’ve really done me in this time! It’s not difficult for you to delay this tribulation with your cultivation... Yet, you did this... What do you mean by this?”

Hearing Guitian Danteng’s furious questioning, Meiwei Liangqiang also felt like crying. What do you mean by what do I mean? Who do I ask about this? I didn’t even breakthrough, but this lightning tribulation just came down like this, what can I do about it? Do you think I’m willing to go through my tribulation in the midst of a battle? I’m not a moron, ah...

They were puzzled, gloomy and depressed...

It’s just that no matter how puzzled and depressed they were, if someone told them that this lightning tribulation was actually caused by that pretty boy in front of them, they wouldn’t believe it!

This is a lightning tribulation, ah! Can this thing be controlled by the powers of a mere human?

Another violent round of purple lightning came crashing down!

The might of the previous round with a hundred bolts of lightning was already considerably frightening. Just the sound of it alone could compare with the might of a Half-Sage tribulation. But the might of the lightning tribulation this time was a whole new level! Impossible to be compared!

Even Jun Moxie himself didn’t expect the Power of Lightning to be this powerful! Even though the Hongjun Pagoda had absorbed an enormous amount of the Power of Lightning, those were merely the lightning tribulations of Venerables and Saints!

At most, there was a portion of lightning tribulations that belonged to Saint Emperors. Only a minority was that of Saint Venerables. And the tribulations of the higher levels, the Half-Sage realm only belonged to Young Master Jun and Mei Xueyan. Even the might of their Half-Sage lightning tribulation wasn’t this violent.

And from Meiwei Liangqiang’s reaction, Young Master Jun could tell that the might of these lightning had surpassed the intensity of his previous Half-Sage tribulation. This was a huge surprise to Young Master Jun!

Jun Moxie had originally unleashed this skill with the intention of passing off the Power of Lightning as a genuine Lightning tribulation to catch this Meiwei Liangqiang off guard and at a loss about what to do. Then, when he was completely too busy and confused, launch a sneak attack using the Flame of Primal Chaos or the Blood of Yellow Flame. But Jun Moxie had never thought that his newly attained Power of Lightning was this perverse! Even a real lightning tribulation wasn’t this crazy! Looks like there’s a great possibility to get rid of that Meiwei Liangqiang directly...

Could it be that the Hongjun Pagoda also had the magical abilities to purify the Power of Lightning?

Of course, the Hongjun Pagoda was a profound mystery, so it wasn’t not too surprising for it to have this sort of capability. But Young Master Jun didn’t have the time to consider this. He only put all his focus on controlling every single strike of the Power of Lightning to come crashing down accurately!

Strike this Outsider to death! The biggest Outsider scum!

With every single wave of lightning Young Master Jun controlled, he found out an interesting fact. Meiwei Liangqiang had completely taken the lightning bolts as a real lightning tribulation and did not put up any resistance or attempt to dodge it! Only enduring it all!

Jun Moxie was having a great time with him being this cooperative.

Initially, when Jun Moxie activated his attacks, he even intentionally kept a bit of his power to prevent any counter attacks from Meiwei Liangqiang. Looks like there’s no need for it now!

Actually, Meiwei Liangqiang couldn’t be blamed for his behavior. Heavenly tribulations were always locked on the person undergoing it; this had always been the case. There was no difference in dodging it or not, and no exception to this. Even if the person managed to duck a few rounds, the ones subsequently would be multiple folds in intensity. And as to striking back... that was complete nonsense. Striking back? Striking back at a lightning tribulation? You must have hit your head against the door or something. Can you strike back at that sort of thing?

Meiwei Liangqiang had gone through numerous Heavenly Tribulations in his entire lifetime, so naturally he was well aware of this. And with this fixed style of thinking, he gritted his teeth, channelled all his strength to take on this sudden heavenly might!

He stole a glance only to see Jun Moxie standing silently on the side. To think that Jun Moxie didn’t attack him while he was down. He couldn’t help but feel full of praise and disdain.

The praiseworthy part: he’s already an extraordinary expert for his young age. With this gentlemanly demeanor, not taking advantage of someone’s difficulties, being so open and candid. He truly is a model for Xuan cultivators.

The disdainful part: How foolish, how foolish, ah, to not attack me during a godsent opportunity like this. This is the best chance to kill this Seat. And may be the only chance. This fellow just let it pass so easily... Had it been this Seat, I would have used my full power and attacked that person already. People from Xuan Xuan are truly foolish. To still talk about propriety and integrity during such a dangerous moment of life and death, it really makes no sense if morons like this don’t get beaten...

How would he know that Young Master Jun wasn’t not attacking out of propriety and integrity. He was just truly completely focused on controlling the concentrated and intense Power of Lightning to fry him and didn’t have the time, ah...

After all, Jun Moxie had just began to master the Power of Lightning. How could he be as accurate as a Heavenly Tribulation when wielding it? It may be powerful and mighty, but if Meiwei Liangqiang truly intended to avoid it, this Power of Lightning may not even touch him...

If he was slightly distracted, the lightning would strike wrongly...

Thus, he must carefully put all his focus in controlling it. It wasn’t because he didn’t wish to attack him...

In fact, Jun Moxie was actually attacking him at full power. It’s just that this great expert Meiwei Liangqiang wasn’t aware of it, that’s all...

This wave of over a thousand earth shattering purple lightning finally finished striking.

Meiwei Liangqiang was at his last gasp, lying in a huge pit that was a thousand zhang deep and wide. His entire body convulsed, as black smoke rose from every single part of his body. The air was filled with the thick smell of charred meat...

Jun Moxie hovered in the air above Meiwei Liangqiang and said, “The Almighty Senior of the Outsiders, please get up and fight with me. We shall fight fairly and let Heavens decide who is the victor!”

Meiwei Liangqiang rolled his eyes upon hearing this, almost spitting blood!

This Seat is indeed thankful that you did not seize the opportunity to attack earlier. But now when this Seat can barely move because of the lightning tribulation, you just have to come and tell me to get up and fight you fairly now? Can you be more shameless?

“Lord Jun...” Meiwei Liangqiang lifted his head with great difficulty and said. “This Seat had just undergone the Heavenly Tribulation. Since Lord Jun had the gentlemanly demeanor to not take advantage of someone when he is down, I’m grateful. Then, may Lord Jun allow this Seat to rest for a while to catch his breath. Then, it wouldn’t let the battle between us Half-Sages down.”

“Huh? Gentlemanly demeanor? You’re saying that this Young Master has gentlemanly demeanor...” Jun Moxie’s brows twitched. Where did I get some gentlemanly demeanor? Not taking advantage of someone when he is down? Where did that come from? Did this fellow turn stupid from being struck by all my lightning?

“That’s right! Lord Jun had upholded the open and candid nature of the people from the Xuan Xuan Continent earlier when I was going through my Heavenly Tribulation, watching on from the sides with no intention to take advantage of someone while he was down. This sort of open and honest demeanor is truly incomparable. We may be enemies, but this Seat will not forget this.” Meiwei Liangqiang hurriedly said with utmost sincerity.

“F*ck! So that’s what it was!” Jun Moxie snickered devilishly. “So you’re saying that, you want me to continue maintaining this gentlemanly demeanor that people of the Xuan Xuan Continent have?”
