Red Boy blew Samadhi Fire. As for how hot it was, the experts here only had the Journey to the West book to rely on, and only today could they feel the devastating hot flames for themselves.
One expert in possession of the Repelling Fire Physique was emboldened by his surly strength and charged heedless of danger. Only to end up as ash on the ground.
“Repelling Fire Physique is strong enough to block all fires. How is it that it couldn’t do the same to this flame?”
The experts reeled from shock.
Red Boy cared little about their fears or dreams, spewing its Samadhi Fire over them all.
Li Mo appeared with a jade bead in front.
The Samadhi Fire hit an invisible wall, and the experts rushed closer to Li Mo.
Red Boy spat harder, but nothing worked.
“Take my fist!”
Lan Yue used Hundred Sacred Kickboxing to make Red Boy fall a few steps back.
The rest copied him, but Red Boy’s ace wasn’t just Samadhi Fire. He knew many other magical arts as well.
Red Boy flashed and each time the fire spear lunged, it robbed one of his life.
Li Mo was silent.
The jade bead he held was plain as any other. The real reason the Samadhi Fire stopped was because he used Pyrokinesis. He played this trick so the experts wouldn’t underestimate Red Boy.
But Red Boy’s skill in other magical arts shocked him still.
In the end, he could understand why. If Red Boy only knew Samadhi Fire, that monkey wouldn’t have suffered as much as the book said.
As the experts were slaughtered one at a time, the Ye brothers stepped in.
Ye Nantian was in front as Ye Beitian compressed the air in twelve meter radius into a ball above his hand. As he ran, he increased his compression range to twenty meters in volume.
The bubble rotated, making one shiver at the thought of its might.
Ye Beitian was called Destruction Heavenly King because of his immense destruction capability.
Red Boy’s mouth spat its flames at Ye Nantian and a mere flick of Li Mo’s finger changed their direction.
Ye Nantian’s Aether Enduring Body was strong, but he wouldn’t last seconds, burned by Samadhi Fire.
Red Boy thrusted his spear at Ye Nantian’s heart. The latter use his hands to grab it, just as Ye Beitian jumped from behind and punched Red Boy.
Pff…
Ye Beitian’s air bubble struck Red Boy in the head, making him wail in pain and grab his head.
This was not enough to kill Red Boy, only give a heavy wound.
Hum~
Hum~
Pff…
Pff…
Ye Beitian repeated the attack two more times, stopping only when Red Boy was unconscious.
“Kill him!”
“Kill!”
The experts jumped into action, using all their know how to give Red Boy a run for his money.
But none of their attacks could even scratch Red Boy. They clobbered him for the good part of ten minutes, but only two harmed him.
Li Mo used a mini Earth Fist, but was speechless at the result. The Red Boy was so damn tough that not even an Earth Fist could harm him.
Ye Beitian’s potential for destruction only shocked the others more.
Li Mo sighed.
“We can’t kill him. And if he wakes up, we’re done for.”
“The Dragon Binding Rope of my ancestor doesn’t work either.”
“My qi sealing sword is useless. I can’t even pierce him.”
The experts gathered around Red Boy, frantic.
“Let me try.”
Li Mo walked to Red Boy and reached with his ‘jade bead’.
It was all smoke and mirrors, naturally, when in all actuality he used God Prison.
Red Boy was tucked away and the world crumbled, bringing all back to reality.
Someone asked, “Vice-chief Li, what treasure is that?“
Lan Yue said, “It must be the legendary Fire Shunning Bead!”
Li Mo was silent.
Fang Qiang smiled, “Legend speaks of five spiritual beads born in this world naturally and of great power. If Vice-chief Li had the real Fire Shunning Bead, he would be able to lord over us all.”
Someone said, “Heavenly King Fang, Fire Shunning Bead is also known as Fire Pearl and it has the color of flames. But Vice-chief Li’s is all white…”
“I am not so sure about it either. As I’ve only heard of such sacred item as the Fire Pearl from legends and never actually saw it, ha-ha-ha…”
Fang Qiang laughed, taking his sister and the Ye brothers before Li Mo.
“We Four Heavenly Kings accept our loss completely and officially enter the Experts Alliance. We await Vice-chief Li and Chief Lan’s orders.”
Four Heavenly Kings stated their stance from the start. They belonged to the Experts Alliance but only the two highest ranks could order them.
Lan Yue said, “Heavenly King Fang is also a leader, so how can you be just a simple member? I hereby declare the Experts Alliance will have two chiefs. One is myself and the other is Heavenly King Fang.”
His words stunned the crowd and Fang Qiang.
Only Li Mo was blasse. It was what he and Lan Yue discussed from the start.
“Heavenly King Fang, don’t decline. Earth is in grave peril. We won’t be able to mobilize our defenses if you do.”
“Then I will have no choice but to agree, Chief Lan.”
Fang Qiang cupped his hands to everyone, “Brothers, friends, I am an honest man. And as the Chief of Experts Alliance, I will do my utmost to be fair. If brothers think I am wrong in any way, please speak up. I will also add that if half of you do not agree with me being your Chief at any time, I will resign!
Fang Qiang earned a round of applause.
A frank and cheerful character was the most welcomed in the expert world.
Amids the congratulations they had to Fang Qiang, Li Mo vanished in obscurity.
Returning home, Li Mo took out God Prison and found Red Boy awake. He found himself behind bars and was throwing a tantrum, spewing Samadhi Fire all over the place.
Clang~
But the hundreds of incomplete magic weapons dumped in his cell had the Red Boy stunned.
“Don’t mind me, keep going.” Li Mo sent.
God Prison’s natural fire was too overbearing. Using it to refine these magic weapons would only destroy them in the end. While, by contrast, the Samadhi Fire was the best one suited for the job.
Li Mo had searched for the Samadhi Fire-like flames for a long, long time.
He had no need of these magic weapons, but he guessed they could do some good to his friends.
“Ahhh~”
Red Boy felt utterly humiliated. He spewed at the magic weapons in hope to burn them to a crisp.
“Easy, the fire needs to be just right.”
Red Boy spat an inferno, yet when it reached the magic weapons, it trickled down to a stream.
Li Mo used Pyrokinesis to easily manipulate Samadhi Fire.
“Ah~, I will kill you!”
Red Boy spat even more flames…
