Chapter 154 – Black Ink domain
When Long Yu launched a sneak attack with his spear, it startled the uncouthly man.
This man had previously experienced numerous combats and was fully prepared to face Yan Huanmo and her companions, if any.
What startled him was the fact that the boy who had launched the sneak attack was just a Zhenling 2nd layer expert!
“Is he really this courageous? It seems that the enticement of beauty is something that is simply irresistible.”
The uncouthly man sneered.
However, soon he realised that the spear was containing a terrifying destructive power and Long Yu was carrying it with an equally strong killing intention. He was unable to ignore the attack now!
He stopped being offensive towards Yan Huanmo and immediately threw his pendant into the direction of the attack, and the rock pendant immediately collided with the Qian dragon spear!
The collision created a loud blast, releasing a huge amount of energy and pushing both the parties several steps back.
The uncouthly man was pushed five steps back. He couldn’t hide the colour of surprise in his eyes.
Although Long Yu was pushed ten steps back, he could easily cover the distance of five steps to make it even with the uncouthly man.
This boy of Zhenling 2nd layer was no ordinary expert, he thought!
Most of the martial experts of different cultivation levels that had gathered there to witness the commotion bore this thought in their minds.
But then, they concluded that no matter how strong this boy was, he was just at a trivial level of Zhenling 2nd layer.
Since the disparity between the basic strengths of the two parties was insurmountable, Long Yu was forced to depend upon the sneak attacks as a method to fight the uncouthly man, which might put him at a slight advantage!
“You are just a Zhenling 2nd layer expert. How do you dare to meddle in a fight of much stronger powerhouses?”
After witnessing the sneak attack launched by Long Yu that repelled the uncouthly man five steps back, the flattering man Wen Ze immediately sneered, still holding a fan in his hand.
“Instead of Brother Lu, I will teach you a lesson today. I will show you what happens when trivial people like you meddle in the affairs of the powerful!”
His white robe fluttered in the wind as he rushed towards Long Yu. His steps were as light as a feather!
Soon afterwards, a very familiar suppression force fell upon him from the heavens.
“Zhentian Domain!”
Long Yu’s complexion changed as he realised that this flattering man Wen Ze who was still holding a fan in his hand, had unexpectedly released Zhentian Domain!
Is this Wen Ze also a Zhentian disciple?
“Long Yu, be careful!”
Yan Huanmo had begun to worry about Long Yu right from the moment he had launched a sneak attack on that uncouthly man. But now, seeing Wen Ze attack Long Yu, Yan Huanmo’s heart pounded fast!
Long Yu, a mere Zhenling 2nd layer expert, how could he dare to partic.i.p.ate in her fight?
If Long Yu died here, all the hopes of Zhentian Sect winning the seven sects compet.i.tion would die along with him!
Yan Huanmo had guessed that it would be very difficult for Bu Xing to compete with Yu Qianning. So all her hopes of defeating Yu Qianning now depended on Long Yu.
However, did the present Long Yu have enough strength to face a Zhenling 4th layer powerhouse?
Yan Huanmo wanted to rush towards Long Yu in order to help him fight Wen Ze, but just as she was about to move into action, the uncouthly man blocked her path as he laughed loudly.
“He is not your opponent, I am!”
The man laughed a wild laugh and launched his fist towards Yan Huanmo. His attack carried enormous domain strength!
It was certainly impossible for Yan Huanmo to ignore such a powerful attack!
At this moment, however, she could only stop there to face the uncouthly man. But her thoughts were still fixed upon Long Yu.
Seeing Long Yu completely suppressed by the Zhentian Domain, Wen Ze started juggling his sword and his fan, releasing a great amount of Tianwei sword qi.
It was a Tainwei sword attack!
Long Yu thought to himself: “This Wen Ze is certainly a disciple of Zhentian Sect but if it is really so, how have I never heard about him?”
Anyway, he must find a way to defeat this Wen Ze. Otherwise, not only him but Yan Huanmo also would end up being a toy of that spoilt brat – Yuchi Tao.
“Kill ten thousand people!”
Long Yu grabbed his Qian dragon spear and swayed it while condensing his killing intention at its tip in order to counter the Tianwei sword attack launched by Wen Ze.
“Nine hidden dragon prance!”
Long Yu did not pause even for a single moment. After using his spear to counter the attack, Long Yu now displayed nine hidden dragon prance to jump a hundred feet high in the air in order to escape from the suppression power of Zhentian domain. As he reached the pinnacle of his jump, he launched his body towards Wen Ze!
Unfortunately for Long Yu, Wen Ze was quite agile and as soon he detected Long Yu’s attack, he moved sideways and successfully dodged the attack.
When Long Yu’s spear pierced the ground with a bang, it released a lot of energy and clouds of dust formed which covered his whole body.
“This boy is so stupid!”
Wen Ze chuckled with disdain and congealed a black bear Zhenling ent.i.ty behind him, brushing off the dust from his clothes with a sock wave.
But as soon as the clouds of dust disappeared, he realised that the Qian dragon spear was approaching him and he dodged it immediately.
“Naive!”
Wen Ze sneered as his black bear Zhenling ent.i.ty rushed towards the Qian dragon spear, grabbed it in its palm and threw it aside.
However, the very next moment, Wen Ze found that a strange force was enveloping him from all the sides.
“Nine hidden dragon fist, awakening palm samsara!”
Long Yu’s shot his fist towards Wen Ze, releasing the humungous power of samsara. As this strange force seeped into the body of Wen Ze, his cultivation level dropped by one layer. He was now at Zhenling 3rd layer!
This terrific phenomenon made Wen Ze change his complexion.
What exactly was this strange force?
His cultivation level had dropped by one layer all of a sudden!
He observed his black bear and noticed that it was still in ent.i.ty form. It did not depreciate to some ordinary Zhenling. He was temporarily relieved by this.
This drop in cultivation level, was it an illusion?
If it was so, then why could he not feel any trace of his actual power? Why it felt to him that he was a Zhenling 3rd level expert now?
A number of thoughts flashed in Wen Ze’s mind, and before he could react to anything, a dense black gas (qi) enveloped his whole body.
Under Wen Ze’s feet, nine hidden dragon qi condensed and started immediate destruction!
Wen Ze, who was still holding his fan, was completely enveloped by the sudden burst of nine hidden dragon qi and was now giving away shrill cries!
Even a strong powerhouse like Wen Ze had no chance at all to survive the burst of nine hidden dragon qi.
Wen Ze was soon dead!
“Come back!”
Long Yu called his spear back and held it in his hand, his eyes flashing of strong killing intention.
Just with a few moves, taking advantage of the underestimation of his power by Wen Ze, Long Yu had been able to kill Wen Ze instantly!
Had Wen Ze not underestimated his power, it would have been almost impossible for Long Yu to defeat him.
But this series of events left each and every person witnessing the combat in great shock.
None of the people present there ever imagined that a Zhenling 2nd layer expert would ever be able to kill a Zhenling 4th layer expert in one go!
As nine hidden dragon qi completely corroded the body of Wen Ze, his dried up corpse fell down, leaving everyone scared of Long Yu.
Was he really just a Zhenling 2nd layer expert or a monster?
Not only did he kill Wen Ze and destroy his Zhenling ent.i.ty, he even turned his body into a dried corpse!
This boy was such a freak!
Master Yuchi Tao, who had expected that with Wen Ze’s help he would be easily able to take Yao Huanmo with him, was now watching the dried up corpse of Wen Ze in horror!
Wen Ze was a Zhenling 4th layer expert, then how could he be killed by a trivial Zhenling 2nd layer expert so easily?
This was just impossible!
Was this some kind of hallucination?
Yuchi Tao simply couldn’t believe this unexpected turn of events and continued to stare dumbly at the corpse.
By this time, Yan Huanmo and the uncouthly man also realised what had happened and immediately stopped fighting.
They looked first at Long Yu, then at the corpse of Wen Ze and couldn’t help expressing their great surprise.
Neither of them had expected that Long Yu would not only defeat Wen Ze in a matter of a few seconds, but would also kill him so mercilessly!
The uncouthly man a.s.sessed the situation and realised that although Long Yu’s cultivation level was at Zhenling 2nd layer but his strength and battle efficiency was no less than an expert of Zhenling 3rd layer.
However, at this moment, Long Yu appeared to be pretty much at ease after destroying a Zhenling ent.i.ty and killing Wen Ze who was a Zhenling 4th layer expert.
Although this feat could not have been achieved by him if Wen Ze hadn’t underestimated him, but still, his battle efficiency also increased manifold, which also ensured his victory.
“I quit.”
The uncouthly man immediately made a decision. If he had to face Yan Huanmo and Long Yu simultaneously, the chances of his defeat were certain.
“You think you can escape?”
Yan Huanmo immediately charged forward to block his path.
She had certainly not recovered from the shock that she received after she saw Long Yu killing Wen Ze – she still couldn’t figure out how Long Yu acc.u.mulated such tyrannical strength. But what was more important right now was to settle the scores once and for all!
“Yao girl, I, Lu Mou, have no allegiance to anyone. I fight for money.”
The uncouthly man laughed and said: “Since the man who hired me – Wen Ze is dead now, I am free of my commitment and have no desire to fight you. However, if you force me to stop, you will invite great trouble upon yourself!”
“You think we will let you go so easily?”
Long Yu charged forward, holding his Qian dragon spear, and blocked the uncouthly man along with Yan Huanmo.
Yan Huanmo did not say a word. Her n.o.ble persona floated in the air as dense black ink erupted from her long black skirt and rushed towards the uncouthly man.
“Black Ink domain!”
Yan Huanmo, without uttering a single word, had actually released a mysterious jade level world principle – the Black Ink domain!
At this moment, it appeared as if the dense black colour of the ink was the only colour between the heaven and the earth, and this made the complexion of the uncouthly man change.
Yan Huanmo was of the same cultivation level as him, and she had comprehended the domain of a mysterious jade level world principle!
“It indeed is ink!”
Yan Huanmo soon congealed her Zhenling ent.i.ty of a writing brush behind her n.o.ble stature. Its tip was coloured with two inks – black and white.
“Now die!”
Yan Huanmo pulled out a special battle weapon which looked like an ordinary drawing sheet and stroked it with her writing brush Zhenling ent.i.ty. The drawing sheet soon turned black as if it had been painted and tainted with ink!
The drawing sheet battle weapon immediately started exerting tremendous pressure upon the uncouthly man, who began to feel as if the weight of the whole world had come falling upon him from the heavens!
