Chapter 465: Genius Encountering Genius

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

From Clan Leader Yin Hu’s point of view, Lin Langya was the only person that would be able to save them. After all, Lin Langya was a genius from Door of Desolation and he had comprehended the Beast Dao. His cultivation level was at the early-stage of Spirit Devour Realm.

Even if they were defeated, the experts of the Spirit Dog Clan were going to arrive soon. Of course, it would be even better if they could win before help arrived.

Lin Langya was showing the confidence and aggressiveness of the Door of Desolation’s disciples.

“Hmph. Kid, your name’s Lin Langya?” Mo Yan, the demon standing to the right said. “The one rumored to be a genius of Door of Desolation? I’ll show the world how I wipe the floor with a genius today!”

He pounced forward, sword pointed straight at Lin Langya.

Both of them were in the early-stage of Spirit Devour Realm, one a genius from the Door of Desolation’s Beast Palace and the other a Demon General from the Zone of Demon. Moreover, he’d been lucky enough to have had several fortuitous encounters, so his talent was terrifyingly high as well.

A battle between the two would be rather interesting.

The Spirit Fox Clan might be unaware of Mo Yan’s identity, but that wasn’t the case for the demons.

“Lin Langya is one of the most outstanding geniuses of Door of Desolation’s Beast Palace, and he’s cultivated the Will of Beast to the fourth level,” an elder from Spirit Fox clan said. “Not to mention early-stage Spirit Devour Realm; he can even fight opponents in the mid-stage Spirit Devour Realm. I don’t think that Spirit Devour Realm demon will be able to last long against him.”

“We should make some space for them.” Mo Hun stepped back. “A battle between Spirit Devour Realm experts won’t be anything small-scale.”

He and the people behind him retreated from the battlefield. They eventually landed on top of a tiny hill.

Clan Leader Yin Hu and the others retreated to the entrance of Lingyun Cave, leaving a wide space for the two to battle.

Bang!

The ground beneath Lin Langya and Mo Yan exploded as the two dashed forward at the same time.

Swish!

An incorporeal demonic blade shot from Mo Yan’s hand toward Lin Langya. Lin Langya snorted coldly before forming an incorporeal defensive barrier to block the attack.

Only Spirit Devour Realm experts and above could use spirit attacks like those. Everyone watching below that level couldn’t even see what was going on. All they could see was some formless undulations traveling through the air.

The warriors who had reached Spirit Devour Realm could clearly sense that the two were engaged in a ferocious clash of spirit attacks.

Generally, fighting with spirit attacks would be rather pointless, because those in the same cultivation level wouldn’t have a big difference in Spirit Power. And if one party wasn’t much more powerful than the other party, fighting with spirit attacks would only result in both parties suffering.

Although Ye Mo wasn’t in the Spirit Devour Realm, he could still detect that the two were engaged in a spirit attack clash.

That kind of clash was usually just an opener for a battle between Spirit Devour Realm experts.

Sure enough, after the initial clash, they realized that nothing would come out of this. Mo Yan pulled his sword out. The flaming red sword pierced the air and stabbed towards Lin Langya like a flaming viper.

It was an extremely sharp attack, carrying with it some sort of demonic flame that made Lin Langya feel intense heat as if his body was going to melt.

The faces of the Spirit Fox Clan members fell when they saw it. Mo Yan’s attack was completely unlike the attack of an early-stage Spirit Devour Realm warrior.

“Haha, Mo Yan is one of the Demon Generals under the Demon Lord, a one in ten thousand genius.” Mo Hun roared with laughter as he watched the fight. “Do you think the only geniuses are from the Door of Desolation? We have countless geniuses in the Zone of Demons. That Lin Langya was too arrogant, dreaming of snatching my Devil Refining Gourd. He is just courting death.”

The demons were looked down on earlier, but now they could showcase their prowess and, in the process, they had even managed to strike fear into the hearts of their opponents.

It felt even better than getting the Devil Refining Gourd would.

At the same time, Lin Langya’s expression changed as well. He hadn’t expected his opponent would be so strong. When he sensed the will contained within the sword, he tightened his grip before slashing his Spirit Weapon to block the incoming attack.

Clang!

The impact sent both of them backward, leaving a mark more than 10 meters long on the ground.

“Hmph, let me show you a martial technique from the Zone of Demon, the Infernal Storm!”

Mo Yan waved his sword repeatedly forming a massive tornado in the air. The tornado had a suction that seemed like it would pull everything in, and at the same time, it had an intense flame with a temperature so hot it seemed like it could burn everything to cinders.

He pointed his sword at Lin Langya, sending the tornado in his direction.

The ground started to crumble beneath them.

“I fused my demonic flame into the Infernal Storm,” Mo Yan said confidently. “With the Will of Demonic Flame combined with the Infernal Storm, the storm is as powerful as it can be. Not even a mid-stage Spirit Devour Realm expert would dare take this attack head-on. Let’s see how this Door of Desolation ‘genius’ will handle this attack.”

The people of the Spirit Fox Clan felt uneasy when they saw Mo Yan’s attack.

Clan Leader Yin Hu’s face fell. He had been expecting Lin Langya to defeat the first two opponents easily, even if he would ultimately be defeated by the mid-stage Spirit Devour Realm expert, the final opponent he had to face.

Unfortunately, reality wasn’t meeting his expectations.

It looked like all three of Mo Hun’s Demon Generals were powerful individuals in their own right.

“Damn it.” Lin Langya’s expression shifted. He could clearly sense how powerful that Infernal Storm was. But he had no other options than to face it head-on.

He gripped his sword with both hands before stabbing it into the ground. Dense true energy spread out from his sword before forming a massive door behind him. The door opened, and the onlookers could see a horde of ferocious beasts on the other side of the door.

It was a door of the Beast Dao, each of the beasts on the other side had a cultivation level in the early-stage Spirit Devour Realm.

This technique was very similar to the Hundred Beasts Stampede from the Hundred Heavenly Beasts Book, the only difference between the two was that Lin Langya’s version was even stronger, since he was directly summoning the beasts from within the Beast Dao door.

Howl!

Each of the beasts looked ferocious, and they all reeked of bloodlust. They charged out of the door towards the Infernal Storm.

“Lin Langya is about to be defeated,” Ye Mo said frankly from his place behind Miao Miao.

“Heaven’s Gate Realm kid, don’t spout nonsense about things you know nothing about,” an elder from the Spirit Fox Clan said. “Look at Lin Langya’s attack. It’s so powerful. After summoning so many beasts, how can he be defeated?”

“Sigh, it is indeed Lin Langya’s defeat,” Clan Leader Yin Hu said with a sigh. The light in his eyes dimmed.

“What? For real?” the elder cried in alarm.

Sure enough, when the beasts charged the Infernal Storm, they were only able to last for a short while. They were all eventually pulled into the storm and destroyed. The storm grew stronger and stronger until it seemed to be on the verge of eruption.

“Die!” Mo Yan waved his sword, sending the Infernal Tornado down on Lin Langya.

Bang!

A miserable wail rang out as Lin Langya was sent flying. His clothing was torn to ribbons and his body was drenched in blood. He crashed onto the ground in incredibly bad shape.

“How is that even possible?” he said in disbelief. “I’m the most outstanding genius of the Beast Palace. How can I be defeated by a warrior with the same cultivation level as me?”

Alas, his defeat was real.

“Haha. The first round is Mo Yan’s victory,” Mo Hun said as he roared with laughter. Of their opponents, Lin Langya was the sole Spirit Devour Realm expert. With his defeat, the Spirit Fox Clan had no chance of victory. “So who will be Mo Yan’s second opponent?”
