876 Raging Blood Ocean (2/2)

”You are indeed very powerful.”

Mo Wen sighed. Lord Merciless had mastered rite of passage martial arts at such a young age. His talent did not need to be mentioned. Having practiced rites of passage martial arts, Lord Merciless was most likely even more powerful than that Blood Kindred Pinnacle Grand Earl. Mo Wen was probably no match for Lord Merciless.

”Now, are you finally willing to face reality?” Lord Merciless kept laughing coldly as he stood on the crest of a crimson wave. His red clothes fluttered even though there was no wind. His imposing manner was currently without equal.

For him, and even for the Blood Evil Temple, it was not a bad thing to be able to kill such a monstrous genius. Even among members of the hidden martial arts strain, there was frequent conflict. The Blood Evil Temple was not without competitors. This youth was so young and already had such frightening abilities. If he was allowed to grow further, his potential would most probably be limitless. Lord Merciless suspected that this Mo Wen most probably was an enemy of the Blood Evil Temple. Ordinary sects could not possibly cultivate such a talent.

”Is this your eighth move?” Mo Wen asked suddenly out of the blue, ignoring Lord Merciless' arrogance.

Lord Merciless was slightly stunned. He immediately sneered and said, ”You are still thinking about which move I am making? As expected, you are a fool. Do you believe that there is any point to this conversation?”

”That's not it. I was just wondering whether after this move you would have any other techniques to complete a ninth or tenth move. I see that you seem to be running out of ideas.”

Mo Wen shook his head. Lord Merciless even unleashed rite of passage martial arts. Even if he had any other moves, they would most likely only serve as a last resort. However, in the Red Stone Forest that was fraught with danger, Lord Merciless would not fight someone else to the death lightly. That was tantamount to putting himself in a dangerous position.

”What a joke. Do you believe that I still need any other moves? You're still being stubborn. Later, I will send your soul flying.” Lord Merciless looked at Mo Wen as though he was watching at a dead man. However, this dead person was still pointlessly struggling. Lord Merciless enjoyed seeing the despairing expressions of his prey. However, Mo Wen's expression was not the type he liked.

”Young man, being overconfident is not a good thing. You might win today; however, there's still a long way to go. I will experience your ninth and tenth moves another time. I only hope that you can still be as confident as you are now when that happens.”

Mo Wen shook his head. His tone sounded like an elderly person. It seemed as though Lord Merciless was his junior.

Shao Ji rolled his eyes. Act! Keep up your act! Mo Wen was stubborn even when he was at death's door. However, Shao Ji was also impressed. This person was almost completely shameless. With Mo Wen's ability, if he had tried to escape straight away, he might have been able to get away. But right now, he was caught in Lord Merciless' Raging Blood Ocean. Only death awaited him.

Lord Merciless was so furious that his eyes were full of killing intent. He had never encountered such a person before! This youth was still putting on airs, as though he was the true victor, even though he was about to die! This Mo Wen was very frustrating.

”I changed my mind. I will not kill you. I want to capture you alive and torture you a hundred times every day. I will make your life a living hell...”

Lord Merciless's voice was like a sinister wind from the depths of the Nine Hells. However, he had not finished speaking when two beams of light, one black and one gold, shot up to the sky and pierced the clouds. They were two completely different types of power. Their attributes were the opposite of one another. They reinforced and counteracted each other. One was hot and one was cold, but they miraculously merged together.

A Yin Yang eight trigram silently appeared above the Blood Ocean. With Mo Wen at its center, it gradually began to spin.

The Blood Ocean seemed to be pulled by a bizarre power. It stopped suppressing Mo Wen and instead began to erratically spin around.

Mo Wen's body flashed with a golden light. The next moment, his entire body broke out of the Blood Ocean. He traversed more than a thousand meters in an instant, appearing on top of another mountain peak.

”What is that?”

Shao Ji, who was far away, looked at the eight trigram in astonishment. He could not sense any aura from it at all. However, he felt a feeling of mystery and awe uncontrollably well up inside of him.

”Another rite of passage martial art! What do you take rite of passage martial arts to be? How is this possible?”

Lord Merciless's expression instantly turned extremely sullen. It was another rite of passage martial art, and it was very unique. It seemed to be formed by a combination of two types of rite of passage martial arts. It was mysterious beyond compare. It was even a level higher than his own Raging Blood Ocean.

Also, the martial arts method that Mo Wen practiced was very compatible with this rite of passage martial arts, so they reinforced each other. Its might was rather extraordinary. This was completely different from the other three rite of passage martial arts that he had unleashed before this. Lord Merciless's Raging Blood Ocean was instantly countered by Mo Wen's mysterious eight trigram.

The eight trigram only appeared for an instant. The next moment, it gradually disappeared. After all, Mo Wen's cultivation was limited and far weaker than Lord Merciless's. He could not truly go head-to-head with Lord Merciless's power.

”This is all you can manage to do. Next time when you fight, stop claiming that you will kill people. It will only make you a laughing stock. You still fall short if you want to kill me. I will experience your ninth and tenth move some other day. Farewell.”

Mo Wen swept a cold glance at Lord Merciless. Then, he became a beam of golden light and instantly disappeared from his original spot. It was as though he had merged into the wind, immediately vanishing without a trace.

Lord Merciless's expression was extremely ugly. An evil red Qi surged out of him, flickering between bright and dim. The mountains and the winds seemed to have sensed his rage as they calmed down, not daring to further enrage this person.

Lord Merciless did not give chase because he knew that Mo Wen had mastered a rite of passage movement technique. It would be a waste of effort for him to follow. If Mo Wen wanted to run, Lord Merciless could not stop him.

Shao Ji hid far away. He did not dare to show himself, and his figure was trembling slightly. If he appeared before Lord Merciless right now, Lord Merciless would certainly violently kill him to release his anger. He did not know about other people, but Lord Merciless would certainly do so.

”Well, if this isn't Lord Merciless! Such a temper. Who made you so angry?”

A playful voice suddenly sounded in the air. This voice was very soft and gentle, and it warmed the heart like water. Anyone who heard the voice would feel relaxed and extremely comfortable. However, when this voice entered Lord Merciless's ears, it was as though the voice contained thorns. His entire body started to ache from top to bottom.

There was actually someone else hidden nearby!

Clearly, the scene just now had been seen by this person. The mockery in the voice caused Lord Merciless, who was already on the verge of exploding, to completely lose it.

”Who's there? Are you seeking death?”

With a loud rumble, an aura erupted from Lord Merciless's body. The rocks to his side could not withstand the terrifying aura crashing into them and instantly shattered, turning into dust. A pair of blood-red eyes instantly looked towards the source of the voice.

”Such a temper! You are incompetent. You can't blame others, right?”

The voice was still playful and gentle and was not affected at all by Lord Merciless's fierce aura.

The voice came from an illusionary halo of light, with bubbles constantly floating around it. There was a blurry silhouette that could not be seen clearly through the mist. However, from the graceful silhouette, as well as the gentle voice, one could identify that this was a woman.

”It's you!”

When Lord Merciless saw this woman, he stopped breathing for a moment. His temper actually calmed down in an instant, as though he was being forced to hold it back.
