The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 338 You are not qualified

The sun blazed brightly over Red Moon Town.

However, due to the appearance of the ghost hand, everyone in the entire Crimson Moon Town felt difficulty moving, especially those below the Bone Forging Realm who were unable to move. Everyone trembled uncontrollably due to fear.

Although most of the people present did not know who Ghost Hand was, they all understood that the appearance of such a terrifyingly powerful person as Ghost Hand, and the unleashing of his blood energy without reservation, meant that he was definitely not a friendly visitor.

The idea that a single person's vital energy could suppress an entire town is unheard of.

"Who exactly is this person? Why has he come to Crimson Moon Town?"

"This person is clearly here for the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. He suppressed the entire town with just his qi and blood. Such terrifying qi and blood is something even the city lord probably couldn't achieve even one percent of. Could this be a legendary Celestial Master? What kind of power has the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy provoked?"

"Damn it! I shouldn't have come to Red Moon Town to buy goods today."

The people in Red Moon Town looked at the ghostly hand in mid-air with fear and despair.

In major cities and towns alike, power struggles and retaliations are common, which means that fights between martial artists can easily spill over into other people's lives, and often people die in vain.

The Ghost Hand is clearly up to no good. Once it makes its move, it's foreseeable that the entire Crimson Moon Town will be destroyed.

However, while everyone in Crimson Moon Town was filled with panic, Ghost Hand, who was more than four meters tall in mid-air, had a deep blue gem on his forehead, and wore dark gold armor, simply further contracted the dissipated blood and qi, making the blood and qi pressure within the range of Crimson Moon Town even stronger. It was so strong that all the Bone Forging Realm warriors in Crimson Moon Town could only lie on the ground and could not move at all.

This scene left Shadow Tiger and the others in the Obsidian Martial Arts School completely shocked.

"Is this the power of a grandmaster?"

Looking at the crowd, except for the Blood Condensation Realm warriors, all of whom were lying on the ground unable to move, Yinghu was filled with indescribable astonishment.

Although his teacher was a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm, he had never seen his teacher unleash his full power. He only knew that Grandmasters were not to be trifled with, as they represented the pinnacle of the Four Domains.

But seeing Ghost Hand unleash his full power of energy today made him understand what the peak of the Four Domains truly meant.

With just his own vital energy, he could suppress the people of an entire town. Moreover, as Chiyue Town continued to expand, its radius had exceeded ten kilometers. The rivers that surrounded the mountains had now become an inland river within Chiyue Town, making it far larger than an ordinary town. Yet, he was still easily suppressed by the Ghost Hand. The strength of his vital energy was simply unbelievable.

The ghost hand in mid-air, after seeing the people lying on the ground in Crimson Moon Town, finally turned its gaze to the Obsidian Martial Arts School in Crimson Moon Town.

"I am Ghost Hand, the vice-captain of the Smiling Skull Gang. The person in charge of your Obsidian Martial Arts School, get out here!"

Ghost Hand's voice was like a booming bell, so loud that it echoed throughout the entire Crimson Moon Town. Everyone in the town wanted to cover their ears, but because they were restrained by the pressure of the air, they couldn't move at all and could only endure the deafening sound, their heads buzzing incessantly.

Although everyone in the town was still a bit confused, they all knew who the powerful figure standing proudly in mid-air was.

"The Smiling Skull? This person is actually one of the Smiling Skull's people?"

"The Smiling Skull is indeed powerful. As expected of one of the three most formidable forces in the Mist Mountain region, he actually has a Celestial Master among his members. The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is probably doomed this time."

"Hopefully, the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy won't provoke such a powerful figure, or we might all perish together."

Many people in the town who were unaware of the situation of the major powers in the four regions couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they saw Ghost Hand coming to cause trouble.

Although the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is now known as the number one force under the four major domain cities, its strongest member is only at the Blood Condensation Realm. Compared with the Celestial Grandmasters who only exist in urban legends, they are not even in the same league.

If the Obsidian Martial Arts School is not handled properly, not only will the school be doomed, but the entire Crimson Moon Town may also disappear.

While everyone in Red Moon Town was gripped by fear, Shadow Tiger and the others at the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy training ground were filled with doubt and confusion.

"Has the Smiling Skull gone mad? Wasn't the matter between the three Smiling Skull families already over? Why is he running to Crimson Moon Town now? Isn't the Smiling Skull afraid that Mist Mountain Domain City will take action against him personally?" Shadow Tiger looked at Ghost Hand, who took the initiative to introduce himself, full of confusion.

Following the previous resolution issued by the four major cities, the Fog Mountain City has further prohibited the three families of the Smiling Skull from entering the Fog Mountain area.

Ghost Hand's sudden appearance in Crimson Moon Town to cause trouble is tantamount to slapping the face of Mist Mountain City. Moreover, Grandmasters are not allowed to act casually within the four domains. Ghost Hand's visit to Crimson Moon Town to suppress the town is a direct provocation of the bottom line of the four domain cities.

The Obsidian Martial Arts School disciples training inside the school were also tense when they heard Ghost Hand announce his name.

"Is this the Grandmaster?"

Wu Zhuoqun, whose strength had reached the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm, stared at the ghostly hand in mid-air. Unable to move, Wu Zhuoqun's eyes held both fear and an unprecedented longing and helplessness.

Celestial Realm Grandmaster!
This is a legendary realm that exists in major cities, and it is the realm that all city lords pursue. It is said that only the Domain City has such an existence to oversee it, and it is the ultimate goal that many geniuses who enter the Domain City want to pursue their whole lives.

Seeing it with my own eyes now is truly awe-inspiring, because a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm is even more terrifying than imagined. And for the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy, not to mention others, the academy's master, Lin Qi, is absolutely capable of reaching such a level.

Now, the Smiling Skull has attacked without saying a word, and it will be very difficult for the Obsidian Martial Arts School to get through this.

"Damn it! I wish I could reach the Blood Coagulation Realm." Xia Ling, who was at the initial stage of the Bone Forging Realm, looked at the ghostly hand in mid-air and sighed that her realm was too low. Faced with the smiling skeleton's approach, she didn't even have the power to resist.

"What a pity. If I had five years, this person might have been able to put up a fight." Xiong Yuedie, who was also training in the martial arts hall, was struggling against the pressure of her qi and blood as she looked at Ghost Hand with burning fighting spirit.

After joining the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's guard regiment, Xiong Yuedie was almost certain that with the various training facilities at the academy, the Blood Condensation Realm was not her final destination. She had a very high chance of becoming a legendary Celestial Realm Grandmaster, since she was improving rapidly almost every moment in the beginner meditation room and beginner martial arts room.

In particular, the martial arts school provides special food for the garrison, allowing them to improve at an alarming rate.

She was very confident that she could surpass a master like Ghost Hand within five years.

"Dealing with him doesn't need five years. Give me three years, that's enough." Xia Ling looked at the ghostly hand in mid-air, her teeth itching with anger. She felt that the Smiling Skull was too unethical. They couldn't defeat the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy in the battle of the Dead Mountain Range, so they sent a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm.

“That’s right! Three years is enough!” Even Estina, who doesn’t usually talk much with others, agreed with Xia Ling’s words as she looked at Ghost Hand.

However, no matter what Xia Ling and the others said, they could only lie on the ground, unable to resist the pressure and control of the ghost hand.

"Three years to fight Ghost Hand? Are all the disciples of Obsidian Martial Arts School this arrogant?" Yinghu glanced at Xia Ling and the others after hearing their words, thinking that Xia Ling and the other Bone Forging Realm martial artists were really talking big.

At present, Xia Ling and others are only qualified to enter the Domain City if they reach the Bone Forging Realm. Not to mention the Celestial Realm Grandmaster, even the Half-Step Celestial Realm is the dream of many super geniuses in the Domain City.

However, in Xia Ling's eyes, becoming a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm was as easy as eating and drinking, leaving him unsure how to evaluate the Obsidian Martial Arts School.

The only experts the entire Obsidian Martial Arts Academy can boast of are the gray-robed disciple who currently ranks first among those at the half-step Celestial Realm level, and the academy master Lin Qi, whose strength is suspected to have reached the half-step Celestial Realm level. Yet, they show such disregard for Celestial Realm Grandmasters. If they were disciples from Domain City, they would have been beaten into despair by the many geniuses of Domain City long ago.

As Yinghu was thinking this, a group of people walked out of the main hall of the Obsidian Martial Arts School. The leader was a young human man who was less than two meters tall and was wearing a black martial arts robe.

However, Shadow Tiger's gaze wasn't on the young human man; instead, it was fixed on a tall, middle-aged man from the Forest Clan walking behind him. "What's going on with Mondl?"

Yinghu looked at Mond, who was walking behind the young human man and the young human woman from before, and was filled with curiosity. He couldn't understand when the prospective elder of the prestigious Misty Mountain City had become so humble.

Previously, the respect shown to the young human woman suggested that she might have an extraordinary background, but the fact that she was now showing the same respect to another young human man was quite surprising.

Before Yinghu could even step forward to ask, the young human suddenly vanished from his spot. By the time Yinghu caught up, the young human was already standing above Crimson Moon Town, less than a hundred meters away from the ghost hand in mid-air.

"So fast! Who is this person?" Shadow Tiger exclaimed in surprise.

He believed that he had few rivals in the Blood Condensation Realm except for those at the Half-Step Celestial Realm, and speed was his greatest strength. However, the human youth's movement speed was so fast that he almost failed to catch him. Even those at the Half-Step Celestial Realm were no match for him.

“That’s Lord Lin Qi, the master of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy,” Mond said, looking at the puzzled Shadow Tiger.

Shadow Tiger of Tianhe Domain City is very famous among the four domain cities. He is a peerless genius like Emilia and Shefina, and it is very likely that he will step into the half-step Celestial Realm before the age of forty. Anyone who knows a little about the four domain cities will know this.

The four regional cities interacted with each other, and Mondstadt had seen Shadow Tigers quite often during these interactions.

"Your Excellency?" Shadow Tiger looked at Mondstadt in astonishment.

Mond, a half-step Celestial Being and a master in Misty Mountain City who was already able to break through to the Celestial Being Realm, even doubted his ears. Mond actually addressed the master of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy as "Your Excellency".

"Yes, that's right, it's Lord Lin Qi." Mond looked at the surprised Shadow Tiger, glanced at Lin Qi in mid-air with great respect, and then looked at Shadow Tiger curiously and asked, "This is the Misty Mountain region. Why are people from your Tianhe Domain City here?"

“My junior sister Ling Ye and I have cooperated with the Obsidian Martial Arts School a lot, so before heading to the Forbidden Zone of the Dead Mountains, we wanted to invite the Obsidian Martial Arts School to join us.” Yinghu did not hide anything.

"A collaboration with the Obsidian Martial Arts School?" Mond looked at Shadow Tiger, and couldn't help but show a hint of "you've got good taste, kid." "You guys are pretty quick, but we were here first, so you'll have to wait your turn."

"This..." Shadow Tiger couldn't help but look up at the ghostly hand in mid-air, feeling somewhat bewildered.

Don't you understand that the key point is the cooperation with Obsidian Martial Arts School?
Even though Ghost Hand, the vice-captain of the Smiling Skull, had come over, Mond, a native of Misty Mountain City, didn't take it seriously and was still planning to discuss future cooperation with the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

The Celestial Masters have all arrived!

Especially the Ghost Hand of the Smiling Skull, which is infamous and has a fiery temper. If it's not careful, it's not impossible that it could destroy Red Moon Town.

"The Smiling Skull?" Mond looked at Shadow Tiger, who had a worried expression, and then at Ghost Hand, saying calmly, "Don't worry, it won't cause any big trouble."

"Not a big commotion? Why?" Shadow Tiger looked at Mondstadt in surprise. "Could it be that one of the elders has come?"

The Smiling Skull even sent a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm, which clearly indicates that this matter is not simple and cannot be solved by the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy. If there is anyone who can solve this problem, it is probably only the elders of the Misty Mountain Domain City who can come in person.

“No, not at all.” Mond shook his head, still indifferent.

Just as Yinghu was about to ask the reason, the ghost hand in mid-air saw Lin Qi appear in front of it and couldn't help but let its own blood and qi erupt further. The blood and qi that could only suppress the Bone Forging Realm warriors in the first place made the Blood Condensation Realm warriors within a one-kilometer radius feel suffocated and their movements began to become difficult.

"Is this the strength of the Smiling Skull Vice-Commander?" Shadow Tiger felt as if he were carrying a mountain on his back and looked at Ghost Hand in surprise.

Although Ghost Hand is not a Grandmaster at the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm, he can suppress Ghost Hand's movements with his blood and qi. This is clearly not an ordinary Grandmaster at the early stage of the Celestial Realm. Even if he is not at the limit of the early stage of the Celestial Realm, he is probably not far off. This kind of strength is already stronger than some elders in the Domain City.

As the Qi and blood further improved, a booming voice rang out once again.

"You Obsidian Martial Arts School are quite bold! Daring to build a stronghold on our Smiling Skull territory. However, I do not wish to bully the weak. I will give you Obsidian Martial Arts School three days to completely withdraw from the Mountain of the Dead!"

"If we don't retreat, our fate will be just like that forest!"

After Ghost Hand finished speaking, he pointed with one hand at a forest in the distance of Red Moon Town.

A giant hand phantom, over two hundred meters tall, appeared in mid-air and slapped down on the woodland more than ten kilometers away.

boom!
A deafening roar echoed through Red Moon Town.

Everyone in Red Moon Town stared in disbelief, their mouths agape and their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Although one cannot see the state of the woodland from Chiyue Town, one can see a mushroom cloud that soars into the sky, reaching a height of more than ten kilometers, from within Chiyue Town.

"Grandmaster! Is this what a grandmaster is?!"

Whether it was Yinghu and his group or the disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts School, everyone present looked at the ghostly hand in mid-air as if it were a monster.

Although a Blood Condensation Realm martial artist is said to be able to destroy a city, it takes a lot of time to do so. But in front of Ghost Hand, it feels like one palm strike would be enough.

However, what surprised Shadow Tiger and the others the most was what Ghost Hand said.

"Are these Obsidian Martial Arts School lunatics? How dare they build a base on Smiling Skull's territory?" Shadow Tiger stared intently at Lin Qi in mid-air, thinking that Lin Qi was definitely out of his mind.

The Grandmaster cannot be insulted!
Even the four major domain cities would give a Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm enough face by building a stronghold next to him. This is simply slapping a Grandmaster in the face. No wonder the Smiling Skull is furious.

If it weren't for the Smiling Skull's concern about the four major cities, Ghost Hand could have easily destroyed Crimson Moon Town with a single blow.

"Withdraw from the Mountain of the Dead?" Lin Qi glanced at the forest in the distance where a crater had been blasted out, then looked at Ghost Hand and said indifferently, "You are not qualified!"

"You're courting death!" Ghost Hand was furious upon hearing this. He never expected that Lin Qi, a mere brat who wasn't even at the Celestial Realm, would dare to spout such nonsense. He immediately grabbed at him, saying, "Since you don't know what's good for you, then I'll drag you to the Mountain of the Dead and hang you outside it forever. Let's see who dares to step into the Mountain of the Dead again!"

Seeing this, Yinghu couldn't help but shake his head for Lin Qi.

What kind of existence is a Grandmaster? Even if the elders of Misty Mountain City were present, they probably wouldn't dare to say such a thing.

Just as the ghost hand's illusory blood and qi hand grabbed Lin Qi and squeezed him to death, Lin Qi's body rose up without wind, and the energy emanating from his body was like flames, which blocked the illusory blood and qi hand. It was as if he had grabbed a piece of divine iron, and no matter how hard he tried, it was useless.

Before Ghost Hand could make any further moves, Lin Qi pushed off with his feet, dispersing the phantom hand of blood and qi, and stood directly in front of Ghost Hand, catching Ghost Hand off guard.

Lin Qi then grabbed Ghost Hand by the neck, holding it like a chick. No matter how Ghost Hand resisted or attacked, it could not break free from that vibrating grip, nor could it cause any real harm to Lin Qi.

“You’re right. Then I’ll hang you up at the front gate so everyone can see you.” Lin Qi said, and then tightened his grip.

click!
A crisp sound echoed in the air, and Ghost Hand's head lolled to the side, its life force extinguished...
