Distant Mountain Battle Song

Chapter 314 Damn it, a killing trap
"As for what?"

"As for asking for trouble!"

Yun Ce turned to look at the chestnut horse and said to Gouzi, "Is this guy insulting me?"

"Yes, it's calling you a donkey with long ears."

Yun Ce smiled silently, quite satisfied. After all, this was his little brother who followed him. His stubbornness and defiance were just like his own, and he showed no remorse after doing something bad or messing things up.

He didn't have high expectations for the Zao Hong Ma Yun Ce. After all, it was just a horse, and he was already very satisfied with how clever it was.

Seeing that the chestnut horse was leaning in to eavesdrop, Yun Ce casually slapped the chestnut horse twice, and that was the end of the matter.

Shen Tingyu was a very cautious guy. After Yun Ce threw the thin iron pillar into the Dragon Ball, he could no longer sense the presence of the iron pillar, and therefore could not sense Yun Ce's location. He ran away immediately.

We did consider using Tie Zhu to mislead Shen Tingyu, but what good would it do to capture him?
Yun Ce had calculated that he couldn't win in a fight, and with Gouzi involved, the outcome would be evenly matched. He still couldn't kill Shen Tingyu; it would only escalate the already minor animosity between the two sides to the point where it couldn't be resolved without immediate action.

This is extremely disadvantageous for the Yun Clan Manor, which needs to bide its time, not to mention there is a Mountain Moving Priest nearby.

The best outcome would be to fool these two plagues away.

Now, Yun Ce is certain that Shen Tingyu has escaped, leaving only the Mountain Moving Priest. He can't defeat Shen Tingyu, who is ranked sixth, but Yun Ce thinks that dealing with someone ranked tenth shouldn't be a problem.

Yu Sang ranked ninth. Yun Ce had actually fought against him. After assessing Yu Sang's skills against this Mountain Moving Priest, Yun Ce did not choose to hide any longer. Instead, he went to find Mountain Moving along a straight line. This time, he was prepared to drive Mountain Moving away.

Yun Ce saw the Mountain-Moving Man across the Clear Water River. This man was even more imposing than Cao Kun had described. When Yun Ce saw him, he was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock by the river. When Yun Ce looked at him, he also looked up at Yun Ce.

For some reason, all the high-ranking members of the Ghost Fang that Yun Ce had seen were good-looking, including the Mountain Moving Man. Although he was clearly over 2.5 meters tall and weighed around 400 kilograms, this giant did not look ferocious at all. He had big eyes, a big nose, a big mouth, thick arms and long legs, and even gave people a kind of honest and simple feeling.

It had a giant hammer on its back and an iron box beside it, which didn't look like anything good.

"You must be Liu Chang'an!"

Even across the 400-meter-wide Qingshui River, the sound of the mountain-moving machine could still be clearly heard by Yun Ce.

Yun Ce dismounted and bowed, saying, "Liu Chang'an, the heir of the Prince of Changsha, greets Master Moving Mountain."

Banshan waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be so careful. Shen Tingyu has already taken the 'radioactive source' he got from Cao Kun back to Daxueshan and will not come to this battlefield again."

Yun Ce cupped his hands again and asked, "Is Master Great Avalanche still well?"

The Mountain Moving Sect said, "He is in very bad shape. At first, we thought it was just a minor injury like losing an eye, an arm, or a leg. But after returning to the Great Snow Mountain, his wounds have not healed, and his body even shows signs of collapse. I must say, your ambush at the Divine Dragon Palace was indeed very successful."

This is also the greatest injury ever suffered by a top master in the world; the imprisoned master said it was also the first drop of blood shed by a god.

Yun Ce nodded and said, "That's right, God. As long as there is bloodshed, it means that there is a chance of successfully killing a god."

Banshan laughed and said: "The 'radioactive source' is too vicious. It is colorless, odorless, and undetectable. It can harm people invisibly and can also infect them through the injured. Moreover, it has no end. I only came into contact with it for a moment at Cao Kun's place. Even now, I still cannot calm down and my physical functions have suffered some irreversible damage."

Liu Chang'an, when you fought against the Great Avalanche Master, you were also exposed to the 'radioactive source'. Why were you unaffected, and why were those who fought alongside you also unaffected?
If you tell me the reason, I will guarantee your family will be safe.

Yun Ce frowned and said, "I have a giant shield with a 'radioactive source' hidden inside. Master Great Avalanche left a clear palm print half an inch deep on my shield. I accidentally got 'radioactive source' on it, and the contact was quite deep. In addition, due to my ignorance of the 'radioactive source', I was continuously injured by the 'radioactive source' after I escaped."

Moving Mountain laughed and said, "I understand. The giant shield can seal the 'radioactive source'."

Yun Ce also laughed and said, "That's right, I'm very curious to know now, has the Great Avalanche Master passed away?"

Banshan sighed and said, "It's been a very difficult ordeal, Liu Changsheng. Is there any cure for the 'radioactive source'?"

Yun Ce shook his head firmly and said, "If the contact is too deep, even a god cannot cure it."

Banshan sighed again and said, "'Radioactive source' should not have appeared. Liu Changsheng, is this a demon you brought from your ancestral land?"

Yun Ce feigned surprise and asked, "Master, what makes you say that?" Ban Shan replied, "It is what the Divine Dragon said."

Yun Ce looked up at the clear blue sky and felt a pang of sadness. There was no such thing as a trustworthy person in this world, not even the high and mighty dragon was a big mouth.

The Mountain-Moving Man continued, "The Divine Dragon protects the Ghost Fang. Liu Changsheng, this is why a master like the Great Avalanche Master would abandon the Han Dynasty and return to the Ghost Fang."

"If you also submit to my Guifang, I can give you my position as the tenth priest, and I will become the eleventh priest."

Yun Ce was neither swayed nor angered by the words of the Mountain-Moving Priest. He just wanted to know if the Mountain-Moving Priest was the result of many times of humility.

Banshan seemed to see the doubt in Yun Ce's heart and continued, "In the beginning, I was the third priest. Later, when the Great Avalanche Master joined and brought supreme wisdom to the Gui Fang, I became the fourth priest. Later, when Lingyu came out of the Great Snow Mountain, I saw that he was full of divine light and had extraordinary wisdom, so I took the initiative to become the fifth priest."

Later, many new talents emerged in the clan, breaking through to the Grandmaster realm. Seeing them fighting endlessly for mere empty titles, I repeatedly yielded my position and eventually became the current Tenth Priest.

Yun Ce raised his hand and slapped the chestnut horse's rump. The chestnut horse dropped its pack, cried out, and ran off into the distance.

Yun Ce looked up at the Mountain Moving Master, who was facing away from the sun, and said, "So, Shen Tingyu was just a decoy, and the one who really came to kill me was the Mountain Moving Master?"

"Here's the thing, you were confident you could escape with your life from Shen Tingyu, now, are you confident you can escape from me?"

Yun Ce sighed and took out a dark iron block from the saddlebag left by the chestnut horse. After fiddling with it for a bit, the iron block peeled off layer by layer and quickly stretched into a giant shield.

Yun Ce raised his giant shield and said to the Mountain Moving Sect, "It seems we have no choice but to fight to the death today."

Hundreds of meters away, Banshan stared at a clear handprint on the upper right corner of Yun Ce's giant shield and said, "'Radiation source?'"

Yun Ce nodded and said, "'Radioactive source' is the only thing I can currently use to save my life."

After staring at him for a long time, the Mountain-Moving Man said, "They're a bit shameless."

Yun Ce laughed and said, "Master's martial arts are superb, and I am no weakling either. Although I am no match for you, I firmly believe that you cannot kill me within ten breaths. With those ten breaths, I will have enough time to perish together with you."

Banshan laughed and tore off the large robe covering his body. After the robe was torn off, Yun Ce discovered that this guy was completely naked.

It has to be said, this guy has a really good physique. His body isn't all bulging muscles; on the contrary, his muscle lines are as smooth as a cheetah's. If it weren't for the droopy thing between his legs that would make every man in the world envious, Yun Ce would definitely cheer.

He placed one hand on the iron box, which opened up to reveal a very heavy suit of armor. He stepped into a pair of dark metal boots, followed by greaves, groin guards, skirt armor, breastplate, back armor, shoulder armor, and neck armor. After he put on a heavy helmet, he stomped his feet on the ground, and the long river in front of him immediately rippled.

After putting on a pair of heavy, dark gloves and picking up the heavy hammer standing beside him, the Mountain-Moving General said to Yun Ce, "This is my final advice. Once I start, you will be turned into mincemeat."

Yun Ce forced a smile and said, "Steel can't stop a 'radioactive source'."

Moving Mountain laughed loudly: "The Prisoner extracted 'soft iron' from the remaining palm of the Great Avalanche Master. That is to say, your giant shield was made of soft iron. In other words, soft iron can effectively isolate 'radioactive sources'. The Prisoner Master then took out the remains of Jade Mulberry, used soft iron as a coffin, and sent people to approach the iron coffin. As a result, no one else got sick."

"Liu Changsheng, this soft iron armor of mine, weighing 1,800 jin, was made specifically for you, my 'radioactive source.' Liu Changsheng, you are indeed a prodigy. I cannot bear to kill you. Surrender."

Yun Ce's face turned pale. Suddenly, he raised the giant shield and threw it with all his might. The shield splashed up a wave two zhang high on the river. Then, the heavy shield flew up again with the help of the water, smashing five water droplets on the wide river channel. Finally, it leaped up fiercely and smashed down on the massive body that was as heavy as a mountain-moving tank.

With a single, seemingly effortless, iron hand, the giant shield came to rest firmly in his grasp. He first carefully examined the handprint left by the avalanche, then casually tossed the shield aside. When he looked up at Yun Ce across the river, he found that Yun Ce had already vanished, leaving only a tiny black dot.

"If you have the guts, come find me at the Changsha Prince's Mansion in Chang'an."

Banshan was not surprised. He stomped heavily on the boulder, and as the boulder shattered, Banshan's heavy body leaped high into the air. After flying two hundred meters, he landed in the Clear Water River, splashing up huge waves. Before the splash disappeared, a black figure sprang up from the Clear Water River again, chasing after Yun Ce's back amidst thousands of waves.

"Doggy, Doggy, quick, calculate it! Can this guy catch up with me while carrying 1,800 pounds of armor?"

"No, he is a carbon-based life form after all. As long as it is a carbon-based life form, there is a limit. No one would use lead to make armor. Adding a hundred pounds on top of a hundred pounds would consume more than a pound of strength."
