Chapter 70: Begging On Your Knees Is Useless!

In the abandoned mine, the Tranquil Heavenly General had released his Frost True Qi, forming a layer of ice over the cavern walls .

His expression was ferocious and his tone hoarse, “How dare he obstruct the grand schemes of the Holy Faith . I shall be the one who claims his head!”

Beside him, the Earth Demon Heavenly General shuddered and rebuked him, “There you go again . Could you not release your Frost True Qi at a moment’s notice? It’s just a sign of futility, and did you forget I don’t like the cold?”

The Tranquil Heavenly General subtly withdrew his Frost True Qi, afraid to say anything .

The Sky Demon Cult has seventy-two Heavenly Generals . They would either be rank-seven grandmasters or superhumans who could match grandmasters, and they were ranked .

The Tranquil Heavenly General was the sixty-eighth, and the Earth Demon Heavenly General the thirty-eighth… in other words, he would never win against the Earth Demon Heavenly General .

“Jiang He has to be killed, but we need to act with prudence . ”

“Moreover, the Saint regards Lingzhou City with high importance, and you’ve failed in your last mission…”

Boom!

Even before the Earth Demon Heavenly General could finish, there was a dull crash, and the mine they were hiding in shook, pebble and sand rushing down the roof .

“Explosions! Could the Martial Arts Department (MAD) has reached this place?”

The Earth Demon Heavenly General’s expression changed, and could not help breathing a long sigh as nothing else followed over dozens of seconds . “We could loan the MAD of Lingzhou City a hundred guts and they would still never come here,” he chuckled . “Maybe there’s a gas explosion at the mines below…”

Boom!

Another explosion echoed then, and the smile on the Earth Demon Heavenly General face stiffened .

The mine they were in quaked violently, and could collapse at any given moment .

“What’s going on?”

He muttered, before crying out, “Tranquil, we need to move, or it’s over for both you and I when the mines collapsed!

After all, they were hidden deep within the mines—over two-hundred meters beneath ground .

Even if rank-seven grandmasters were extremely durable and would not fear the earth crumbling beneath their feet, they still need to breathe, and being buried beneath ground meant they would eventually die anyway .

Nonetheless, being grandmasters who boasts incredibly speed, they just needed seconds to rush outside .

After leaving the mine, both of them rushed to a nearby fourth-floor building . As they landed on the top and looked around, they found another fiery flash rising to the air nearby, and the violent explosions resounded afar in the night .

It was soon followed by an exclamation—

“Woah!”

“So exciting!”

After that, the exclamation was followed by curses . “It actually triggered an explosion on the gas beneath the mines . If those two Heavenly General bastards were really hiding inside, they would definitely be blown up into pieces!

“…”

Both the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General traded looks, their expressions turning from speechlessness to rage .

***

Meanwhile, Jiang He was cursing as he searched around .

“Sure, the Bottle Gourd Brothers are awesome…”

“But what was ‘all-seeing’ and ‘all-hearing’ even supposed to mean? All Second Brother said was that he heard the Heavenly General dogs were discussing about how to hurt me, but couldn’t even pinpoint their location… Oh? This location is quite weird, and anyone hiding there would not be easily found . ”

Thud!

He hence handily threw several pea bombs in that general direction .

Boom!

Fiery flashes were let loose across all directions, followed by tremendous explosions .

Still, Jiang He was using the normal pea bombs instead of the strengthened ones . Since the explosive radius was more than twenty meters away, he did not have to drop down, clutching his head in defense .

He casted Indestructible Diamond to withstand the shockwave, before continuing to complain .

The Second Brother’s skill appeared impressive, but the truth was… it was a little dumb .

For example, all he could do was give him a bearing: southeast, fifty miles away .

However, he could not determine where the specific spot fifty miles away was .

That was Jiang He had to resort to such a dumb idea for recon .

He would blow up any spot that he thought likely to be a hiding place . While he did not pin hopes of the pea bombs blowing up the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General, it was okay to startle them and force them out of their hiding too .

“Could those two be idiots?

“Can’t there hear such a loud commotion!

“Could they have been hiding in a wave somewhere and I managed to blow them up?”

Even as he spoke, Jiang he unwittingly arrived at the mine where the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General had been hiding .

As he looked around, his eyes glinted—there were footprints on the ground, and cigarette butts scattered around the mine entrance .

“Those two dogs must be hiding here!”

With a turn of his hand, Jiang he drew out a strengthened pea bomb .

He did not count, but he must have taken out at least ten of them .

***

Meanwhile . On top of the four-floored building nearby, the Tranquil Heavenly General’s eyes were abruptly bursting with killing intent .

“Jiang He!” He growled .

“That’s Jiang He?” The Earth Demon Heavenly General exclaimed in surprise .

It was less than 300 meters away between the small building and the entrance to the mine .

Even if their night vision did not compare to Jiang He’s, who had eaten many carrots, that was not much of a distance to rank-seven grandmasters . In fact, they could make out ninety percent of Jiang He’s face .

The Tranquil Heavenly General’s rage was burning, and was about to rush out when the Earth Demon Heavenly General stopped him .

“Be careful . I could see that the brat’s aura is just rank-five advanced, but having the guts to find his end here? There must be elites in hiding!”

“Hide my butt!” The Tranquil Heavenly General cursed .

Both you and I are standing out in the open on top of a building . How could any hidden elites not notice us? Moreover, this location was wide, and wouldn’t they notice if there was someone within a radius of twenty miles!

Twenty miles…

Even if an elite was hiding beyond that reach, would they not have finished killing a rank-five by then?

They would make their kill with a single strike and flee, hiding in the mountains . Would any elite be able to find them then?

Hence, the Tranquil Heavenly General’s rank-seven aura promptly overflowed as he rushed forward .

As a grandmaster, he could accelerate beyond 100m/s, covering the 300-meter distance in two seconds .

His Frost True Qi was in full-burst mode the instant he rushed forward, the temperatures of his surroundings plummeting, with layers of white sleet actually appearing in the air .

Jiang He, who had just thrown a strengthened pea bomb in the mine promptly turned .

“Is that… the Tranquil Heavenly General? He’s not actually in the mine?”

And yet, without much thinking, Jiang He promptly dropped to the ground, clutching his head .

The Tranquil Heavenly General who was charging towards him froze for a moment…

Is that…

Is he kneeling… prostrating himself to beg for mercy?

Nonetheless, he immediately threw away the thought, and he laughed with sinister killing intent . “Jiang He! You wouldn’t take the highway to heaven, and yet would crash into hell even if there aren’t doors . Even if you beg on your knees now, I would crush you into a million pieces… eh?”

The Tranquil Heavenly General’s aura magnified, laughing coldly as he landed in front of Jiang He .

Raising his hand, he was ready to slap Jiang he to death with a palm of Frost True Qi, and yet, his True Qi had barely charged when he felt tremendous danger .

Boom!

The strengthened pea bomb detonated .

The Tranquil Heavenly General promptly looked up towards the mouth of the mine, his pupils reflecting a wave of flames .

What…

The…

Hell!!!
