Chapter 291: Chapter 291 The Whereabouts of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire
Long Batian and his three companions watched in shock as a palm print, as massive as a mountain and capable of annihilating the heavens and earth, hurtled toward Yang Xiaotian.
All four of them hadn’t expected such a turn of events.
Just when their hearts filled with joy, thinking Yang Xiaotian would be obliterated by the palm print, suddenly, the palm print came to a halt in front of Yang Xiaotian.
Without any warning.
Suddenly, the palm print scattered into pieces.
The devastating power of the palm print dissipated into nothingness.
Long Batian and his companions looked on in astonishment, only to see a tall middle-aged man appear in front of Yang Xiaotian without their notice.
That middle-aged man was none other than the Azure Thunder Python.
After obliterating the palm print, the Azure Thunder Python snorted coldly and with a single hand gesture toward the void, a black figure tumbled down from the space, crashing like a fallen rock.
Boom!
A huge pit was blown open in the ground.
When Long Batian and the others got a clear look at the dark figure, their expressions changed: “Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor!”
Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor, an existence that had surpassed the Saint Realm.
Although not yet a Divine Spirit, he was already a Demigod.
In Zhongzhou, the name of the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor was notorious, almost the number one person under the Divine Spirits of the Buddha Source Empire.
Yet, such a mighty existence was apprehended by the middle-aged man at Yang Xiaotian’s side.
What kind of strength did this man beside Yang Xiaotian possess?
As Long Batian and the others stood there petrified, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor himself stared in terror at the Azure Thunder Python in front of Yang Xiaotian, “Divine Spirit!”
Divine Spirit!
Long Batian and his companions nearly fainted from shock.
As the words of the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor fell, he transformed into a ray of Demon Light, attempting to escape.
The treasure of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God, how could he dare to covet it anymore.
However, just as he was about to flee through the great hall’s doorway, a man shrouded in ice-blue flames appeared at the gates when they weren’t looking.
Seeing this figure blocking the exit, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor flew into a rage and threw a ferocious punch: “Get out of my way!”
His punch, with all his might, was more than twice as powerful as the palm force just now.
But, when his punch enveloped in demonic flames reached the man shrouded in ice-blue flames, it was simply swatted away with a casual wave, and the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor was swept aside.
The force of the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor’s punch rebounded in the opposite direction, shooting back at him. He dodged in fright, and just as he did, his demonically flaming punch whistled past his previous spot and then crashed into a corner of the great hall.
The corner of the hall was blown right through.
The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor broke out in a cold sweat. While he was still in a state of shock, the man enshrouded in ice-blue flames flashed before him in an instant.
With just a single palm strike, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor was sent flying like a broken kite, crashing through countless palace buildings and creating a rumbling noise all the way from the end of the mansion.
Long Batian and the others were dumbfounded. Another Divine Spirit?
Then, the Iceflame Qilin reached out with one hand and retrieved the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor from the end of the mansion, throwing him in front of Yang Xiaotian: “Young Master, how should this kid be dealt with?”
Young Master!
The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor looked at Yang Xiaotian with fear.
“First, seal off his power and hang him up,” Yang Xiaotian said.
The Iceflame Qilin understood what Yang Xiaotian was about to do and without a word, sealed the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor’s power and then hung him in midair.
“Hang them up too,” Yang Xiaotian said, looking toward Long Batian and the Phoenix Lady’s group.
The Azure Thunder Python did just that, suspending Long Batian, the Phoenix Lady, and their companions in midair.
Before Long Batian and the others could comprehend what Yang Xiaotian intended to do, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian punched Long Batian in the stomach.
The familiar sound was like a thunderous drum.
And still, the Asura Force was unfailingly effective.
Following that, Yang Xiaotian threw another punch into Li Yutian’s belly, and neither Phoenix Lady nor the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor were spared either.
After one round of punching, Yang Xiaotian didn’t speak and continued with a second round.
By the time Yang Xiaotian was on the fourth round, Long Batian was in tears from fear, begging Yang Xiaotian to stop hitting them.
Yang Xiaotian’s face was expressionless as he continued beating them.
In the end, he punched Long Batian and the others until their bellies twitched and they were nearly incontinent.
Long Batian and the others were almost in tears as they took out all the Elixirs and Secret Tomes they had obtained previously.
Yang Xiaotian took out a Control Elixir and made the five of them, including Long Batian, swallow it.
Seeing the Control Elixir, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor hesitated, so Yang Xiaotian unleashed another strike of Asura Force.
Just like he had done to the Barefoot Elder Demon and the head of the Assassin Tower, Tian Zhengyi, he pounded them until they swallowed the Elixirs.
Originally, Yang Xiaotian intended to simply kill Long Batian and the others.
However, many had seen Yang Xiaotian and the others leaving the Celestial Burial Academy. If Long Batian and the others died, the Long Family, the Shi Family, the Phoenix Clan, and the Buddha Source Empire Pharmacist Hall would definitely investigate, leading to endless trouble.
It would be better to subdue them and have them gather information for him in the future.
At last, the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor and the five people, including Long Batian, swallowed the Elixirs, and only then did Yang Xiaotian let them down from midair.
Having narrowly escaped death, they collapsed on the ground, too weak to even stand.
Once they could barely stand, Yang Xiaotian continued with them in search of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.
However, after searching every nook and cranny of the Thousand Buddha Medicine God’s cave abode, they still couldn’t find the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.
This caused Yang Xiaotian to frown.
He stared at Long Batian and the other three.
Frightened by his gaze, Long Batian and his companions turned pale.
“Young Master, this has nothing to do with us,” Long Batian said tearfully. “We only guessed that the cave might contain the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire. If it’s not here, there’s nothing we can do, we honestly can’t do anything,” he said at last, his voice trembling and his complexion ashen.
If they were hit with another strike of Asura Force, they would definitely lose control of their bodily functions.
Seeing how terrified Long Batian and the others were, Yang Xiaotian was speechless.
In all honesty, he hadn’t really planned to do anything to the four; he just wanted to ask them about the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.
Yang Xiaotian searched every corner of the cave again but still could not find the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire.
In the end, Yang Xiaotian could only leave the cave with the others and on their way back, they continued to ride on Long Batian’s flying ship.
“Do you know of any other caves belonging to the Thousand Buddha Medicine God?” Along the way, Yang Xiaotian asked Long Batian and the others.
Long Batian and the others shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know.
But the Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor spoke up: “Young Master, the Thousand Buddha Medicine God was once a disciple at Buddha Source and had cultivated there for many years. He does have a cultivation cave in Buddha Source.”
“Oh, Buddha Source!” Yang Xiaotian was taken aback.
The Buddha Source Empire mainly practiced Swordsmanship and Buddha’s teachings, with nearly all of its temples gathered in Buddha Source.
The number of temples in Buddha Source might not be in the millions, but there were probably close to a million.
“Do you know where in Buddha Source the Thousand Buddha Medicine God’s cave might be?” Yang Xiaotian asked.
The Thousand Buddha Divine Fire might be in the Thousand Buddha Medicine God’s cave located in Buddha Source.
The Annihilating Heaven Demon Ancestor shook his head, saying he didn’t know, then added, “Young Master, if you want to find out, I can start an inquiry right now.” His Annihilating Heaven Demon Sect was the number one demon sect in Zhongzhou.
Yang Xiaotian nodded.
The journey was uneventful.
A dozen days later, the group returned to the Celestial Burial Academy.
Yang Xiaotian had timed it just right, arriving back at Celestial Burial Mountain the day before it opened.
As soon as he returned to the Celestial Burial Academy, Yang Xiaotian heard startling news.
The Demon Sky Sword God was coming to the Celestial Burial Academy!
Not only was the Demon Sky Sword God coming to the Celestial Burial Academy, his senior brother, the Green Lotus Sword Deity, was also visiting!
