Chapter 219: The Battle Between Two People
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“You still want to self-destruct your meridians? You’re dreaming.”
Ren Zeyuan did not hesitate to release a drop of black blood. The black blood seeped into the City Lord’s body, and dense black scriptures appeared once again. They were like maggots in the bone, seeping into the spiritual energy.
The City Lord was horrified to discover that those reversed meridians seemed to have been calmed down by an unknown force. The cold and gloomy aura instantly invaded his body. He could not help but shudder, and his pupils once again turned the color of a blood moon.
At the same time, the green blood vessels on his hands also turned black, and a black vertical line appeared in the middle of his forehead, exuding an ominous aura. It seemed to be continuing to spread downward, and soon after, black cracks appeared like vines which crawled up to the City Lord’s entire body. They were like spider webs wrapping around the City Lord. They were densely packed and looked terrifying.
At this moment, the City Lord’s original appearance could no longer be seen clearly. He was like a monster created by the black fog. His body kept enlarging, and his skin became swollen. It was as if something was constantly surging inside. It seemed as if his entire facial features were changing.
He was clearly still in his original appearance, but no matter how one looked at him, there was an unspeakable strangeness and evil. This was because there were two souls in one body.
However, based on the current situation, the other soul would soon be completely devoured, and the City Lord’s consciousness would completely disappear from the world.
Ren Zeyuan revealed a fanatical smile. The corners of his mouth were twisted in an unbelievable angle. He did not look like a human at all. However, at this moment, it suddenly became overgrown.
Taking advantage of the fact that he was overwhelmed with joy and completely did not notice the situation around him, Lin Bai moved his finger slightly and activated the sword qi in the City Lord’s body. At the same time, the sharp sword light stabbed towards Ren Zeyuan.
The Black Fog suddenly stopped as if it was blocked by something. The sword qi that had been dormant for a long time emerged from the City Lord’s body. A lot of the black fog was dispersed by the sword qi. Ren Zeyuan slightly moved his body to dodge the sword light. His attention was drawn over, so he did not immediately take action to suppress the strange movements of the City Lord’s body.
The sword qi was refined by Lin Bai using a special method. It traveled along the meridians in the City Lord’s body along with the pill. Although the effect of the pill was suppressed, the sword qi was not affected. Instead, it was continuously compressed.
Like a series of reactions, the sword qi crackled like firecrackers. By the time Ren Zeyuan reacted, it was already too late for him to make a move.
Although the lethality was not great, it made Ren Zeyuan look particularly miserable. He dodged Lin Bai’s sword technique but was affected by the exploding sword qi around the City Lord.
He raised his head angrily and saw that it was Lin Bai who had disturbed him. “You’re actually not injured? !”
Lin Bai’s expression was calm as he held the Ruoshui sword. He didn’t seem injured at all? He acted like he was defeated just to numb Ren Zeyuan and wait for an opportunity. Now was the best opportunity. He had successfully interrupted the process of the black fog fusing with the City Lord’s body.
If he waited for the two to completely fuse, the City Lord’s consciousness would be completely eroded just like Ren Zeyuan’s. Perhaps the main body of the resentful qi in the ancient battlefield would also be able to break through the seal and reappear in the human world. At that time, it would be quite troublesome to deal with it.
“You think you can deal with me? An ant like you?”
Ren Zeyuan consider much of Lin Bai at all. He raised his head and let out a long howl, like some kind of ferocious beast.
Layers of black waves churned, and in an instant, all the light sources were extinguished. The originally dark place became even more pitch-black. Darkness attacked, as if a huge beast hidden within revealed a ferocious face wanting to devour Lin Bai and the others.
The temperature was extremely low. The bone-chilling cold was something that even powerful cultivators would find difficult to resist. It came from the depths of their souls, as if they were facing a ghost that had crawled out of an extremely cold abyss. It complemented the cold and sinister aura, and this was something the human body could not resist it at all.
A layer of frost hung between He Qingyuan and the others’ brows. However, because of the erosion of the sinister aura, these gases were stained with an ominous color. However, in this darkness, only the Ruoshui sword in Lin Bai’s hand emitted a jade-like light that brought some warmth.
It was like a firefly crawling slowly in the dark and harsh environment. It looked weak and fragile, but in fact, it possessed an unimaginable power.
However, it became the target. The creatures hidden in the dark waited for the opportunity to move. Lin Bai could not help but clench his Ruoshui sword tightly. The sound of crawling could be heard from the surroundings. It was as if there were countless little bugs. He suddenly flipped forward.
“Boom!”
A loud sound could be heard. The spot where he had been previously instantly turned into a huge pit in the ground. There was a faint imprint of a huge claw mark on it. If it was not for his quick reaction, he would have been in trouble.
“Your reaction is quite fast.”
Ren Zeyuan’s voice was like a ghost. It seemed to be close at hand. When Lin Bai swung his sword over, he missed again. His expression changed slightly. He noticed that there was a fishy wind coming from his left side. His body was like lightning as he dodged it with lightning speed.
The monster was very fast, but Lin Bai did not give in either. However, the monster was closing in step by step, blending into the surrounding darkness. It was impossible to see its movements clearly, and how it attacked. After missing one attack, it hid in the darkness again, waiting for the next opportunity. Lin Bai became rather pa.s.sive.
Ren Zeyuan had a vicious heart. He clearly had the ability to deal with Lin Bai, but he was playing a game of cat and mouse cruelly. Blunt knives were far more torturous than real knives and guns.
Since he could not find any traces of the monster, he was forced to hide. When the monster attacked, he would inevitably be at a disadvantage. If the others were in such an environment, they would be highly nervous and constantly oppressed. It would only be a matter of time before their psychological defenses collapsed. Moreover, they were so depressed. In addition, there was a monster eyeing them like a tiger.. No matter how strong their mental state was, it would be difficult for them to endure.
