Chapter 54 Set Fire to the Mountain and Be in Prison Until You Die
Miao Qing let out an angry roar. The shadow of a stone statue appeared above his head. It looked like a giant from ancient times. It turned its palm into the size of a mountain and slammed it onto the ground. Suddenly, a continuous rumbling sound was heard, like the rolling of an Earth Dragon. In an instant, most of the flames were swallowed.
Seeing this, the law enforcer divided the red spiritual power into many parts and gathered them toward Miao Qing from all directions. They formed a huge five-element formation and surrounded Miao Qing.
Several cracks appeared on the ground. One could vaguely see the flow of red flames as if they were lava. Then, the wall of fire that was half the height of a person shot straight into the sky. Miao Qing could not dodge in time, so his clothes were burned into tatters.
The ground tumbled, and countless pieces of gravel gathered in the air. A huge palm fell from the sky again. With lightning speed, it slammed toward the surrounding wall of fire.
The wall of fire instantly shrank by more than half. It was still emitting thick smoke. Taking advantage of the opening of a passage, Miao Qing quickly flew out. The law enforcer followed closely behind. With a shake of his hand, the whip formed by the flames suddenly wrapped around Miao Qing’s feet. He lost control and fell to the ground like a bird whose wings had been broken.
At the critical moment, Miao Qing waved his hands downward. The spiritual energy released from his fingertips turned into green light spots and scattered on the ground.
In an instant, leaves and vines grew crazily and surrounded the law enforcer and the others, blocking their way forward.
The trees that were half the height of a person formed a green cage. The strong, powerful branches intertwined with each other, trapping the law enforcer and the others inside. From afar, they looked like a green cocoon.
However, in the next second, a powerful red light was revealed from within.
“Roar!”
The fire dragon devoured all the leaves and vines, and many of the trees were reduced to ashes. When the law enforcers looked again, the whip was empty. There was only a pool of blood on the ground, and Miao Qing’s shadow was nowhere to be seen.
“He shouldn’t be able to run far with such serious injuries. Let’s go chase after him!”
Miao Qing’s head was covered in sweat, and his face was extremely red. However, his lips were deathly white, forming a stark contrast. At this moment, not only was there blood dripping from his ankle but there was also a huge abscess, and a faint red liquid could be seen flowing out. It looked extremely disgusting.
Moreover, the abscess was still expanding. The originally undamaged skin around him was affected. That was the effect of the fire poison. If he did not clear it in time, his foot would probably be crippled.
However, Miao Qing did not have the time to clear it. He knew that he would not end up well if he fell into the hands of the law enforcers. He endured the excruciating pain as he moved forward. However, being heavily injured affected his speed.
“Whoosh!”
Sensing the danger behind him, Miao Qing narrowly avoided it. Those few people had caught up to him!
The sound of sharp blades cutting through the air rang out once again. The flaming sword stood right in front of Miao Qing. The road ahead was blocked, so he had no choice but to stop. “Let’s see where you can run to!”
The law enforcer smiled coldly. He looked at Miao Qing as if he was looking at a dead person. A scorching flame condensed in his palm. Just as he was about to kill him, Miao Qing subconsciously closed his eyes.
At this critical moment, a male voice suddenly sounded. “Do you want to burn down a mountain and spend the rest of your life in prison?”
The law enforcer was shocked. There was someone else around! He quickly looked around but he could not see anyone. “Who is it? Hurry up and get out!”
A slender figure slowly walked out from the side. It was as if he was strolling in his own backyard. If it was not Lin Mo, then who was
it?
The law enforcer’s face was filled with wariness. “Who are you? What are you doing here so sneakily?”.
Lin Mo looked at them casually. “I was about to ask who you are. I was clearly cultivating here, but in the end, not only were you shouting and fighting but you even wanted to set the mountain on fire. You’re disturbing my peace and quiet.”
The law enforcer laughed coldly. “What big words. Do you know who we are?”
Lin Mo glanced at the markings on their bodies and said indifferently, “Aren’t you guys just members of the Miao clan? What’s so great about it?”
When the law enforcer and the others heard these words, they immediately revealed furious expressions. “Brat, are you tired of living? You don’t even put our Miao clan in your eyes. Do you want to die?!”
This was the tyrannical aspect of the Miao clan.
Just as the law enforcer was about to teach Lin Mo a lesson, he was stopped by his companion. “The clan leader has instructed us to end this matter quickly. We still have to return and report. Let’s not waste any more time here.”
After saying that, he looked at Lin Mo without batting an eyelid. Other than this reason, he was unable to see through Lin Mo’s cultivation level.
One had to know that it was impossible for one without any spiritual power to appear at the depths of Wuying Mountain. Moreover, none of them had been able to detect Lin Mo’s existence previously.
If it was not for Lin Mo making a sound, the law enforcer would not have been able to discover him. From this, it could be seen that this person’s strength was extraordinary. Hence, the law enforcer did not want to create any unnecessary trouble. His tone was unfriendly as he said, “If you know what’s good for you, then quickly leave. Our Miao clan is here to handle matters. You mustn’t meddle in other people’s business.”
“What if I meddle in your business?”
They did not expect Lin Mo to be so unappreciative and even provoke them. The law enforcer’s faces turned gloomy. “Have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to go against our Miao clan?”
Miao Qing did not want to involve others in this. He cupped his fists toward Lin Mo and said, “Little Brother, you should quickly leave. I appreciate your kindness. This is between me and them.”
After that, he turned to the law enforcers and said, “The Miao clan has committed enough murders. It’s a grudge between us. Don’t involve others in it.”
After saying that, Lin Mo smiled coldly. “What a coincidence. It just so happens that I have a grudge with the Miao clan as well.”
