Chapter 155 – The ever-changing world of martial arts
As Long Yu watched Yao Huanmo’s fighting technique, his heart began pounding fiercely.
Black ink domain, writing brush Zhenling ent.i.ty, drawing sheet battle weapon – it all seemed like a dream. All this made Long Yu ponder – there are 9000 world principles in this world, does that mean there are 9000 fighting techniques too?
If Long Yu had been the one to face this skill of Yan Huanmo he probably wouldn’t have been able to escape.
Since he did not know anything about this technique and didn’t even know the main impact this technique would leave, he simply couldn’t defend himself against it.
All Long Yu could have done was to avoid this move.
However, the uncouthly man didn’t think like Long Yu while he was facing this attack.
He immediately pulled his stone pendant and released a mysterious jade level world principle to counter Yan Huanmo’s attack.
“Meteorite principle, domain release!”
The uncouthly man roared as he was all ready to face the attack launched by Yan Huanmo!
Meteorite principle was another principle that contained ma.s.sive destructive strength. The domain that the man had released had its source in the stone pendant.
This big stone was actually a piece of a meteorite that had fallen to the earth from outer s.p.a.ce, so naturally it was extremely hard!
The meteorite domain along with the meteorite stone and the meteorite Zhenling ent.i.ty that the uncouthly man had congealed, when combined together, released a great burst of energy which was more powerful than Yan Huanmo’s technique.
“Destroy them!”
The tyrannical power of these three combined together and immediately penetrated through Yan Huanmo’s drawing sheet battle weapon.
Although the drawing sheet battle weapon was at top-grade spiritual level, still it could not defend itself against such an intense attack and hence it was thoroughly damaged!
Both parties were displaying their fiercest combat techniques of Zhenling 4th layer, so it was impossible for Long Yu to intervene in the ongoing fight.
Otherwise, after a.s.sessing the powers of both the sides, Long Yu wouldn’t have resisted himself.
“It seems that this uncouthly man has released a very strong world principle, so powerful that the drawing sheet battle weapon of Elder Yan is crumbling into fragments…..”
Long Yu watched as the power of the meteorite domain completely disintegrated the drawing sheet battle weapon.
It was now clear that when this uncouthly man was leaving the place, he was not cowering but really had lost the interest in fighting Yan Huanmo since the person who had actually hired him, Wen Ze, was killed by Long Yu.
Unfortunately, Long Yu was the one who persisted on stopping the man, and now this man had completely destroyed Yan Huanmo’s battle weapon, so Long Yu felt responsible for it.
“Since you had decided to help Elder Yan out, you must help her under any circ.u.mstances, even if it involves risking your own life.”
Long Yu thought to himself. Since the uncouthly man was busy countering Yan Huanmo’s attacks, he could use this situation to quietly launch a sneak attack on him using nine hidden dragon fist.
“Nine hidden dragon fist, awakening palm samsara!”
The mysterious power of samsara completely enveloped the uncouthly man immediately.
At this moment, the cultivation level of the uncouthly man dropped instantly by one layer!
The enormous strength of meteorite domain that had already destroyed the drawing sheet battle weapon of Yan Huanmo was now directed towards her writing brush Zhenling ent.i.ty.
Both the parties were engaged in a rapid clash, erupting tremendous amounts of energy. However, at this moment, the uncouthly man’s cultivation level dropped by one layer, bringing him down to Zhenling 3rd layer all of a sudden!
Originally, Yan Huanmo’s writing brush Zhenling ent.i.ty couldn’t have withstood the attack of meteorite domain for too long, but now, she sensed that the opposite party’s strength had weakened suddenly.
This was a golden opportunity which she certainly couldn’t miss!
“Writing brush, destroy!”
As Yan Huanmo commanded her Zhenling ent.i.ty, the writing brush waved and wrote the word “DESTROY” in the air.
This word, containing great destructive power, rushed towards the uncouthly man and struck him.
“Writing brush, protect!”
Immediately the writing brush waved again and wrote the word “PROTECT” in the air, which charged to defend her from the weakened meteorite domain attack.
“Writing brush, kill!”
The Zhenling ent.i.ty waved again and wrote the word “KILL” in the air, which was full of killing intention. It instantly rushed towards the uncouthly man and enveloped him completely!
The “KILL” word arrived with the colour of ink swarming from all the directions, finally causing some panic to the uncouthly man.
The chief factor in play was that his cultivation level was now at Zhenling 3rd layer only!
Although he could feel that his cultivation level was restoring itself back to the 4th layer, the “KILL” word was going to arrive before it could be fully restored.
“Meteorite stone, go!”
The uncouthly man could not think of anything else to escape this attack, so he decided to throw the bulky meteorite stone towards the “KILL” word.
Both collided in the air with a loud bang sound and released a ma.s.sive amount of energy which made all the surroundings tremble like a leaf in storm!
The uncouthly man waved his hand to launch a meteorite spear-shadow in the direction of the ink which created a narrow pa.s.sage through which he intended to escape.
“You want to run away?”
Long Yu had already increased his speed and then pounded his fist on the ground.
Nine hidden dragon qi condensed beneath the feet of the uncouthly man and erupted suddenly, completely enveloping his body.
As the terrifying nine hidden dragon qi seeped through his body and started corroding it, the uncouthly man could do nothing but scream!
Although this uncouthly man was a mercenary for hire, this was a case of attempted abduction of a woman which was an act of hooliganism!
Moreover, his strong killing intent clearly showed that he had killed a number of people previously, perhaps much more than Long Yu had killed in this world.
So Long Yu killed him, without the slightest of guilt!
Two Zhenling 4th layer powerhouses were killed by Long Yu instantly using the burst of nine hidden dragon qi. The spectators couldn’t believe their eyes!
However, at this time, Long Yu had consumed almost all of the xuan qi stored in his body. Although he had refined his Dantian with thunder mines so that his Dantian could now replenish the xuan qi faster than any ordinary expert, still at times he couldn’t keep up with it.
“Run!”
By this time, Yuchi clan’s young spoilt master Yuchi Tao had understood that depending upon his strength alone it was impossible to abduct Yan Huanmo.
Although he was not willing to withdraw his endeavours, it seemed like escaping the place was the only way left now!
Long Yu, bearing stern countenance, wanted to pursue him but just then he noticed that Yan Huanmo had likely been injured during the fight as her footsteps staggered and she fell down to the ground.
“Elder Yan!”
Long Yu could simply not leave her alone just to chase some insignificant brat, so he rushed towards her and held her: “Elder Yan, what happened to you?”
“My Zhenling ent.i.ty is damaged…..”
Yan Huanmo whispered in a deep voice. Clearly, she had received heavy injuries.
Long Yu immediately figured out that when the uncouthly man had launched a meteorite spear attack towards the black ink that her Zhenling ent.i.ty had released; it must be then that the Zhenling ent.i.ty was damaged.
After a martial expert is able to congeal a Zhenling ent.i.ty, not only the strength of the Zhenling increases ten times but it also develops a deeper relationship with its master.
When the Zhenling ent.i.ty is damaged, the Dantian of the martial expert also receives injuries to a certain extent!
If Long Yu had not decreased the cultivation level of that man using his ‘awakening palm samsara’ technique, Yan Huanmo could have received irreparable injuries.
“Let’s go back to Hun Yin city first to have some rest and examine what exactly has happened.”
Long Yu was holding Yan Huanmo in his arms as his eyes flashed towards the crowd that had gathered there and roared: “What are you staring at?”
None of the numerous martial experts that had surrounded them was at Zhenling 4th layer, only lower.
Two Zhenling 4th layer powerhouses had been instantly killed by Long Yu right before them, so only a single roar from him was enough to make them all go helter-skelter.
Long Yu thought a little, and then while still holding Yan Huanmo in his arms, he searched the corpses of Wen Ze and that uncouthly man.
Presently, Long Yu was in an urgent need of some powerful immortality pills or neidan to enhance his cultivation level, so he did not want to let go of any chance he got to obtain these.
Quickly, he seized the uncouthly man’s meteorite stone that contained a mysterious jade level world principle, Wen Ze’s top-grade spiritual level folding fan, as well as some other petty things that could fetch him up to hundred crystal coins.
Since both of them were Zhenling 4th layer powerhouses, they certainly carried many valuable things with them.
Wen Ze’s top-grade spiritual level battle weapon – his folding fan could easily fetch Long Yu over a thousand crystal coins.
The meteorite stone of the uncouthly man was even more valuable as it was a battle weapon containing some kind of mysterious jade level world principle!
After collecting the harvest, Long Yu rapidly advanced towards the Hun Yin city while carrying Yan Huanmo in his arms.
This single combat gave him a clearer insight about the numerous fighting techniques that were prevalent among the martial experts all over the continent – Yan Huanmo’s ‘Black ink domain’ and the uncouthly man’s ‘Meteorite domain’ – it all was simply amazing!
If Long Yu knew that Deng Shun and his men whom he had killed recently were not actually dead, he would have had a more profound expression.
In Tian Yu continent, various principles emerged one after another and were now 9000 in number, representing 9000 different techniques of fighting. The world of martial arts was ever changing; its power was hard to estimate!
…………..
The blue color of the sky faded gradually.
Long Yu and Yan Huanmo, were now staying at an inn in Hun Yin city.
On his way back, Long Yu had thoroughly understood why Yan Huanmo had come to the Hun Yin city.
Originally, that flattering man Wen Ze was a core disciple of Zhentian sect and the relationship between them seemed good as well.
However, five years ago, Wen Ze had disappeared under some mysterious circ.u.mstances which made many people upset about it since he was considered to be one of the most talented disciples of the Zhentian sect.
Yan Huanmo herself was puzzled with his sudden disappearance, so when Wen Ze invited her to meet him in Hun Yin city, she readily accepted the invitation and came over.
Yan Huanmo wanted to know why Wen Ze had disappeared so suddenly and where did he go after leaving Zhentian sect.
However, after her arrival, she realized that she was being cheated!
Wen Ze, who had already become a pet dog of Yuchi Tao, had actually wanted to entrap her there so that Yuchi Tao could abduct her.
After all, Hun Yin city didn’t fall under the jurisdiction of the Tang kingdom, so there was no chance of Yan Huanmo being saved by Zhentian sect.
Although Yuchi Tao was not afraid of Zhentian sect because of his influential family, still he knew that if he had to face the whole sect, it would be a great problem for him.
In this case, Yan Huanmo actually fell in Wen Ze’s trap while the uncouthly man was hired by him to make sure that Yan Huanmo couldn’t escape.
If Long Yu hadn’t arrived at the right time, Yan Huanmo would have surely ended up becoming a new toy for that spoilt young master Yuchi Tao!
