Indestructible God King - Chapter 96.2

Chapter 96.2 You Said You Would Take Responsibility (2/2)

“Baaaam!”

Suddenly, the half-meter-deep trench left by Wang Ke’s slash was set ablaze.

Everyone gasped in disbelief as they watched the fire flaring up.

It’s on fire?

How did that happen?It shouldn’t be like this. Eldest apprentice-brother lit up the pit because of the friction from his extremely powerful slash… But yours is only half a meter deep; how much friction can there be? The ground didn’t even change its color. How did it start burning?This… This is not reasonable!

“Whoosh!”

Wang Ke let out a deep breath.

His trench was on fire because of the turbid essence Qi that went out with his slash; the turbid Qi filled the trench and was about to dissipate. Only then did Wang Ke remember that his Revered Teacher was around; it would bring him great shame if everyone smelled it.

But Wang Ke did not expect his own trench to coincide with Murong Luguang’s. The latter’s resulting flames worked like a matchstick that lit up the turbid essence Qi in Wang Ke’s trench and set it on fire. Fortunately for him, that meant that the smell would be gone.

Wang Ke heaved a sigh of relief. But everyone else was confused about how this happened.

Damn. The trench is just half a meter deep, and it’s on fire?Why!

This Wang Ke is bizarre in every way! And now, no one had a doubt that Wang Ke had indeed unleashed the Demon Slaying Draw Strike.

Wang Ke really knows the East Wolf Hall’s battle technique!But why!

Only Chen Tianyuan seemed to have some idea. Still, there were too many people present, so he barely held back from exposing Wang Ke.

“Did you see that? Did you? Junior brother Wang Ke also knows the Demon Slaying Draw Strike. So, he is qualified to become the East Wolf Hall Lord!” Second senior apprentice Tie Liuyun shouted.

“That’s right! Second senior apprentice approves of Wang Ke, which means that Wang Ke can make it. We support Wang Ke to become the East Wolf Hall Lord!” At once, a bunch of people started shouting.

“Wang Ke’s cultivation is too weak. Even with the help of the Righteous-Qi Sword, he didn’t wield it with as much power as our eldest apprentice-brother did!”

“Bulls**t! Are we comparing how powerful they are? If we compare their abilities, none of them meet the first condition of reaching the Astral Infant Stage. So, don’t talk about their strengths. Junior brother Wang Ke’s virtuous character is more important than strength!” Tie Liuyun continued to defend Wang Ke.

And so, both sides argued on and on without stopping.

Meanwhile, Murong Luguang looked wide-eyed at the Righteous-Qi Sword in Wang Ke’s hand. His jaw dropped. “It’s… it’s burning?”

Wang Ke looked down at the sword; indeed, the sheath was on fire.

He immediately drew the Righteous-Qi Sword, and a segment of the blade was also on fire.

Wang Ke knew about that segment of the blade. A part of the Righteous-Qi Sword seemed to have been imbued with a special spell array that could store essence Qi when he channeled the turbid essence Qi into the sword moments before. A fair amount of his essence Qi was absorbed by the array, or he would have unleashed a greater power.

That segment of the sword was filled with his turbid essence Qi. Wang Ke was still thinking about retrieving it, but the flames from the trench traveled from the ground to beneath Wang Ke’s feet; a spark that flew up landed on the sword and lit it up.

The Righteous-Qi Sword is on fire?

Everyone looked at the sword with gaping mouths.

“Impossible. The Righteous-Qi Sword is extremely sturdy and resistant to fire and water. How can it be on fire? How can it be!” Murong Luguang said as his eyes widened in disbelief.

“I… I…!” Wang Ke could not find the words to explain it.

How am I supposed to explain it? My turbid essence Qi always creates trouble for me at critical times.Why is it burning the sword!What should I do?

—And in just a short while, the segment on fire turned hot red. The Righteous-Qi Sword was made of metal, and it seemed to be melting.

It did start to melt; it was turning into liquid.

And thus, the Righteous-Qi Sword, once straight, started to bend; the tip of the sword began to droop to one side.

It’s bending?

None of the disciples could believe their eyes. It was their first time seeing the Righteous-Qi Sword bend from exposure to fire; not even Chen Tianyuan expected it. It was one of the strangest things that had ever happened in all the Heavenly Wolf Sect’s history.

“Quick, give it to me!” Murong Luguang urged as he stretched his hand to grab the sword.

No one could match his determination to become the East Wolf Hall Lord. His drive could be seen in how much hard work he put in to master the Demon Slaying Draw Strike. But now… the Righteous-Qi Sword, the symbol of the East Wolf Hall Lord, was burnt and bent? How can this be!How am I supposed to become the East Wolf Hall Lord like this?

Murong Luguang was even more anxious than Chen Tianyuan; he grabbed the blade and wanted to snatch the sword from Wang Ke’s hands—

“Pom!”

Perhaps that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Murong Luguang pulled the sword towards him, and the segment on fire snapped. Flames burst out from the broken parts, forcing Wang Ke and Murong Luguang to step back.

The flame was extinguished the moment they steadied themselves.

Each of them had half the sword in their hands.

The Righteous-Qi Sword snapped in two?

The symbol of the East Wolf Hall Lord broke?

The entire place went silent.

One could hear a pin drop; everyone was dumbstruck, including Chen Tianyuan. What is this?

That’s one of the ultimate treasures of the Heavenly Wolf Sect! It’s not even damaged during battles with the demons, but now it was burnt and split in two, right in front of everyone?

Chen Tianyuan moved his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Some of the disciples rubbed their eyes in disbelief. Soon after, everyone turned their angry gazes toward Wang Ke.

Murong Luguang was even more furious. The Righteous-Qi Sword broke, then what about the East Wolf Hall Lord? Whoever became the East Wolf Hall Lord wouldn’t even have a token for the position!

Wang Ke’s forehead was also sweating profusely. Damn it, who knew the turbid essence Qi was this powerful? Its fire can even damage the Righteous-Qi Sword?Are they going to hold me responsible for it?No way!

Wang Ke immediately pointed at Murong Luguang and cried out, “Eldest apprentice-brother, you said it just now. You didn’t need me to make up for the sword if it broke; you said you would take responsibility. Everyone heard it! Don’t try to deny it!”

Murong Luguang: “……………………….!”

Murong Luguang’s face turned black. Did I say that just now?
