Chapter 141: Mesa Uchiha vs The Burning Heaven Clan - Part 2
Tying up Fen Juechengs's hands with a rope, who was still under the influence of the genjutsu and obediently following Mesa's orders, Mesa and Cang Yue walk out the building where she was held captive and follow the sounds of battle towards where the Mesa clone was fighting against the Burning Heaven Clan. Standing some distance away, the three of them stayed unnoticed as they observe the battle.
Back at the battle, Mesa clone was still being besieged by an ever increasing force Burning Heaven Clan disciples that rushed him in an attempt to overwhelm him and eventually defeat him, but to no avail. Every one of them that came, was swiftly defeated by Mesa clone wielding the almighty hammer, Mjolnir. With every swing of the hammer, with every toss of the hammer, multiple disciples were defeated and tossed aside like rag dolls. Considering the fact that they were all at either Spirit Profound Realm or beginning stages of Earth Profound Realm meant that none of them even posed a threat to Mesa and this fact frustrated Fen Duanhun, but he did well not to show it.
At one point, he was completely engulfed in Burning Heaven's Flames, but this had no effect on him. In fact, he could keep moving within this inferno and for those on the outside, he looked like a demon made of flames. Walking out of the flames with nary an injury on him, he looked on at the Burning Heaven Clan disciples that surrounded him. Seeing that their best attacks had no discernable effect on Mesa, they started to slowly back off, especially when Mesa's gaze landed on them. But like a flock of sheep that followed the bravest sheep, one of the disciples decided to rush Mesa again. Invigorated with newfound courage of that one brave disciple (sheep) leading the flock, the rest followed like clockwork. This time though, it was a veritable tsunami of Burning Heaven Clan disciples that rushed him at the same time. Mesa, having had enough of fighting these weaklings, forms a quake bubble around Mjolnir and struck the ground underneath him, unleashing a massive shockwave around him and flinging away every one of those disciples that rushed him and knocking them out.
And this whole time, Burning Heaven Clan Master, Fen Duanhun, and the senior leadership of the Burning Heaven Clan, i.e. the remaining Elders and all the Pavilion Masters, had been doing nothing but watch from a distance. After all the Burning Heaven Clan disciples were defeated, but not killed, Mesa stepped forward and faced Fen Duanhun and the senior leadership of the Burning Heaven Clan.
"Ah Mesa Uchiha, in the very vexing and malcontent flesh. To what do we owe the pleasure of your presence here?" Said Fen Duanhun rhetorically whilst smiling in a contemptuous way.
"Oh, I don't know, maybe because you overthrew the Emperor, my future father-in-law, imprisoned him in his own room, installed his idiot of a son as your puppet ruler. And to top this whole thing of, you've kidnapped my future wife and tried to marry her of to that worthless waste-of-space you call a son. Or I was just in the neighborhood and fancied a surprise visit. Really, could be any one of those." Quipped Mesa back in an equally rhetorically mocking way.
For a split second, Fen Duanhun's eyes were burning with rage at Mesa's contempt towards him in his own home and stronghold as he whispered under his breath "Impudent little dog." But he quickly regained his cool. And with his head held high in pride, he addressed Mesa. "But it is good for you to have come here and save us the trouble of looking for you. Now then, be a good little dog and accept your death obediently."
Expecting Mesa to react with rage, Fen Duanhun did not expect Mesa to suddenly start laughing his ass off instead. "Hahahah…! What? Did you idiots seriously expect me to just roll over and die like you just told me. In case any of you forgot, I have literally been dominating every single one of your Burning Heaven Clan members from the moment we met, be they a lowly disciple or even your Elders. Every last one of them dominated by me and my hammer." Said Mesa while raising Mjolnir in the air and letting the lightning flow over the hammer to prove his point.
Immediately, Fen Duanhun and the rest of the Burning Heaven Clan Elders and Pavilion Masters were enraged by Mesa's blatant insult. But before they could react, Mesa had beaten them to the punch when he spoke up while pointing Mjolnir at them. "As for all of this, though I had expected you to strike back at me, I must admit that you blindsided me and caught me unawares with all this. You honestly would have been better of knowing your place in this new world and making your peace with it, because all you did with this whole coup d'état and kidnapping my future bride is sign your own death warrants."
Angered at Mesa blatantly declaring war on them, the Pavilion Masters and Elders were ready to jump at him and tear him to pieces themselves. But Clan Master Fen Duanhun, with Second Elder Fen Moji standing next to him, merely raised his hand and everyone immediately obeyed and held their tongues. Turning towards the them, he simply said in a low and calm voice that belied the storm of rage and anger in his heart. "Prepare as planned."
With affirmative nods the Elders, Pavilion Masters, Hall Masters and other high ranking Clan members dispersed into groups and each went to work with their own tasks. Mesa, watching this happen and letting them do what they want, saw that they were mainly divided into two main groups.
"This is a power transferring profound formation created by people who have cultivated in the same profound arts." Jasmine said as Mesa was observing one of the groups "This profound formation allows everyone within the formation to concentrate all of their power to those that are receiving it, vastly increasing their strength."
Just like Jasmine said, Mesa could sense all those Elders, Hall Master and other working together to transfer their strength into Fen Duanhun and Fen Moji, increasing their strength tremendously.
The other group were chanting together and pooling their powers together into the activation of a profound formation. And as luck would have it, Mesa himself was standing smackdab in the middle of that profound formation. And Jasmine noticed that the purpose of this profound formation was to use the gathered strengths of those casting it to create a power suppression profound formation that suppresses the strength of the one that is standing inside its area of effect.
Stepping forward, Fen Duanhun, flanked to his right by Fen Moji, addressed Mesa directly. "Death is near, yet you would actually act so arrogantly and conceitedly. This is a joke as big as the heavens! I do not know if I should laugh or cry at your situation. But considering all of the injustices that you have so willfully and maliciously perpetrated against my illustrious Burning Heaven Clan, even dying ten thousand deaths is not enough. So when I settle this matter with you with a smile on my face as I watch the life drain for your eyes. You think you are the new superpower of the Blue Wind Empire, but I will show you once and for all the absolute power…"
"Idiot thinks he's some kind of genius. Stalling for time while waiting for his cronies to finish powering up him and his henchman. And if I'd have to wager a guess, I'd say this profound formation that you are standing in the middle of right now is one that suppresses your power." Said Jasmine to Mesa as he listened on to Fen Duanhun drone on and on.
"Yeah, I thought so. I gotta say, this is not a bad plan. If I were anyone else, this plan would have likely worked. But considering the fact that I am not a normal guy, and this profound formation is not gonna work on me at all, I will just let Fen Duanhun go on ahead and play his cards. It will make the despair in his eyes that much better when I crush him into the dirt. So enjoy the show I'd say." Said Mesa to Jasmine whilst keeping the shit eating from forming on his face.
"I thought so as well. Well, enjoy yourself breaking their spirits. But make sure not to go all out. These losers are not worthy of that." Said Jasmine coolly and she and Ophis proceeded to eat their cake and enjoy the show.
"…of the illustrious Burning Heaven Clan..." Proclaimed Fen Duanhun going on and on with his tangent. Meanwhile, Mesa stood there, not moving at all or even looking intimidated at all. When Fen Duanhun had finally finished with his speech, Mesa simply said with a bored look on his. "You done now? Cause if you trying to bore me to death, you sure are succeeding at that."
And this obviously rubbed Fen Duanhun the wrong way, angering him even more than ever. With all of the preparations done, Fen Duanhun and Fen Moji suddenly went ignited into fire and profound formation of fire suddenly lit up around Mesa. Out of this profound formation, chains of purple fire exploded out of it and wrapped themselves around Mesa. And when the chains faded, what was left were collars and shackles of purple fire around Mesa's neck, wrists and ankles. And just like Jasmine said, Mesa could feel the collars of fire trying to suppress his strength. A valiant, but ultimately fruitless endeavor. But in order to up the entertainment stakes, he did lower his own strength level from half-step Sky Profound Realm to level 10 Earth Profound Realm.
Glancing at Fen Duanhun and reading his mind, Mesa found out that this profound suppression formation was named the Heaven's Fire Suppression Formation. This formation would scramble the Profound Energy within someone's body, making it that they can't use it as well as before. And it would keep suppression one's strength progressively more as time went on up to a certain point. But it was only effective against those who were below Emperor Profound Realm. With the Nine Dipper Profound Formation that Fen Duanhun and Fen Moji are using. A profound formation that would allow everyone within it to concentrate their strengths in up to nine people and where the ones within the power transfer formation that are transferring their strength can switch with someone else to takeover.
Grabbing the collar of purple fire around his neck, Mesa's hand recoiled away with a screech of pain as he could feel his fingers burning. Moments later, Mjolnir dropped out of his hand. Looking at Mjolnir in a confusion, he places his hand on its handle and went to pick it up again, only for the hammer to refuse to budge. Placing two hands on its handle, Mesa pulls and pulls with all his might, only for the hammer to not even more a millimeter.
Finally, after several attempts of lifting up the hammer in vain, Mesa hears an uproarious laughter that was clearly aimed at mocking him. Turning towards the source of the laughter, Mesa sees Fen Duanhun and the rest of the Burning Heaven Clan members laughing at his current predicament. "What is the matter Mesa Uchiha? Are we feeling a little weak all of a sudden?"
"What. The hell. Did you do to me?" Growled Mesa between clenched teeth and clenched his fists so tightly that the tops of his fingers went white.
"Only what you deserve." Answered Fen Duanhun and he and Fen Moji launched themselves at Mesa.
Off in the distance.
The real Mesa Uchiha with Cang Yue next to him and a tied-up and hypnotized Fen Juecheng, were watching the clone Mesa barge into the main entrance of the Burning Heaven Clan and watching as the fight between him and Fen Duanhun and Fen Moji had started.
"Mesa, why is your clone acting like that. From what you've told earlier, you should be able to defeat all of them easily?" Asked Cang Yue.
"Ah that." Said Mesa embarrassedly. "Well, that is because the Burning Heaven Clan just used two special Profound Arts, which I would guess are some of the Burning Heaven Clan's greatest Profound Arts. One of those Profound Arts allows them to transfer their strengths and concentrate it into one of multiple recipients, and thus greatly increasing their strength. The other Profound Art, when successfully deployed, will cause one's Profound Energy to flow chaotically through their body and make it so that they can't use their own Profound Energy efficiently anymore and it also keeps progressively suppressing their strength more and more as time goes on."
"But didn't you say to me that there exists no method that can suppress, scramble or destroy your powers, be it by a Profound Formation, or by an artifact that suppresses Profound Energy or any other method for that matter." Said Cang Yue.
"Yes, that is correct." Said Mesa.
"So, your clone is basically just acting all weak for shits and giggles?" Asked Cang Yue.
"Yes." Said Mesa and nodding at the same time. "Now that you and your father are safe, there is no more danger that one of you can get hurt, so he is just doing this for entertainment."
"Huh… neat." Was all Cang Yue had as an answer to all this. Looking on at the battle, a malicious grin crept on her face. "After everything they did to me and my father, I honestly can't wait to see the looks of despair on their faces when realize just utterly fucked they are."
