658 Peerless Evil Ar (1/2)
Ling Tian knew that Justice would definitely wait for him!
Yu ManLou's strange martial art was something that even Justice felt greatly threatened by!
If even their pure XianTian inner qi was completely useless, this was something that the two of them could not help but fear!
With regards to the departure of the two, not many people noticed it. All of them were shocked by the outcome of the battle before them and looked forward to the 100 man battle after this. Thus, the departure of the two individuals did not alert anyone.
Under a large tree far away, Justice's hands were placed behind his back with Shui WuBo's body leaning against the tree. His appearance and bearing were just like when he was alive. Even if he left his life without any regrets, the current scene was extremely desolate.
Seeing the arrival of Ling Tian and Ling Jian, Justice's eyes glowed with excitement as he sized up Ling Tian from head to toe. However, he did not say anything but picked up Shui WuBo's body instead. ”This isn't the place to talk. Follow me.”
Their three figures sped away without saying another word. The movement techniques of these three individuals were truly spectacular. In just a short instant, the three of them had easily traversed past a few mountains and entered a mysterious valley. Justice placed Shui WuBo's body down and allowed Shui WuBo's body to be positioned in a cross-legged manner. He wasn't willing to let the corpse of this martial arts powerhouse lie down on the ground.
Just from this point alone, it could be seen how much Justice respected the martial arts fanatic Shui WuBo!
Ling Tian looked at Shui WuBo's corpse with respect in his eyes. Of course, he didn't respect Shui WuBo's martial arts or character but Shui WuBo's stubbornness towards martial arts and the way he treated death with complete ease!
This was not something that any individual would be able to do!
Justice looked at Ling Tian calmly and smiled, ”I truly never imagined that you would make such a shocking breakthrough in just a few days! The sheer speed of your advancement truly leaves me in shock!”
While he said that he was filled with shock, not a tinge of shock could even be seen on his face. He was only rubbing his palms in excitement. The faster Ling Tian raised his strength the better. He could not be bothered with how Ling Tian raised his strength! The only important thing was for Ling Tian to grow stronger!
However, he was also truly filled with surprise. After all, Justice had never seen or heard of anyone achieving such rapid growth in strength. Since he understood that such an advancement speed was unheard of, he did not want to find out the truth behind it. He knew that finding out the truth would only affect the calmness of his heart and wasn't anything beneficial to him!
At his level, what he cultivated wasn't martial arts but mental state and his realm!
Ling Tian smiled slightly. ”However, this isn't the time for us to fight. At least, this isn't the best time for us to fight.”
Justice burst out laughing, ”That's right, this isn't the best time for our battle indeed. However, this seat is no longer lonely from now on. With you as my companion, it would be a difficult thing for me to feel lonely even if I wanted to!” As he spoke, his eyes burned with pa.s.sion and excitement. ”I am truly looking forward to the battle between us! I have been looking forward to such a battle for a full ten years! The loneliness that I felt for the past ten years was truly torture! Thankfully I still have you! It was only a wish in the past but this wish of mine has finally come true! I am truly overjoyed!”
Ling Tian was speechless. To a peerless grandmaster like Justice who had been alone at the peak of the martial arts realm for a couple of decades, after finding an expert capable of being a match for him, that joy was something that could not be described.
Ling Tian could understand Justice's feelings and so he waited silently.
After the trace of joy flashed past his face, Justice quickly regained his cool. Looking at Shui WuBo's corpse, he said, ”I cannot tell.”
”Even you cannot tell?” Ling Tian was truly surprised! At this moment, Ling Tian truly understood just how frightening the poison truly was! Furthermore, it was extremely odd and rare!
Apart from being a peerless martial arts grandmaster, Justice was also a grandmaster in the art of the medicine. Even after living for two lifetimes, he had only seen two or three individuals who were a match for Justice. Furthermore, these individuals were the medicinal deities from his previous life and it was impossible for anyone in this world to be a match for them. With regards to the different poisons in this world, there would probably be no one more familiar than Justice. Especially such venomous martial arts which combined such a poison with one's inner qi! However, Justice was unable to see through the origins of Yu ManLou's martial arts! With Justice being unable to see through the origins of such venomous martial arts, it was all the more baffling!
Just which kind of poison would be so sharp and frightening?
Ling Tian's face became solemn. After a long while, he asked, ”If we cannot tell from the surface, we may be able to tell if we open up his body...”
Justice immediately interrupted with displeasure, ”Shui WuBo was a rare expert in the world today and had already seen through the essence of the sword way. Now that such an expert has died, how can we tarnish his body? Such an action would be no different from being a beast! I do not agree!”
Ling Tian let out a bitter laugh. Justice's thoughts were something that he had already expected. If he had another choice, he wouldn't want to do so either!
Ling Tian knew that his words would definitely result in such an outcome. This wasn't the Earth from his previous life where an autopsy would be conducted on the corpse. In this world, the corpse of the dead was sacred, not to mention the corpse of a powerhouse.
Even if one tortured the living, regardless of how cruel the means, he would be labeled as vicious or brutal at the very most. But if an individual defiles the dead, unless there was a sea of enmity between the two, no one would agree with such an action! Even though Justice wasn't trapped within the secular affairs of the world, he was also trapped in the traditions of the world!
Ling Tian pondered for a moment as he carefully crafted his words, ”Senior Justice, for such an odd situation to occur on the battlefield, it is obvious that Yu ManLou had already unleashed his vicious means! With senior's medicinal skills, it should be obvious that Shui WuBo's palms are completely unharmed without any signs of it being pierced by weapons or hidden weapons. When Yu ManLou and Shui WuBo's palms contacted each other, I could obviously see Shui WuBo's palm bulging up for a moment before a thin black line quickly shot up his meridians. In that instant, Shui WuBo lost the ability to fight back. If not for him achieving a breakthrough in that instant, he definitely wouldn't be able to unleash that final sword strike of his. The sharpness and viciousness of Yu ManLou's venomous martial art are truly difficult to defend against!”
Justice listened by the side quietly. He was opposite Shui WuBo during the fight and he could not see these little details.
”Now that Shui WuBo had died such an odd death, it can be said that Shui WuBo did not die a knowing death! The origin of this is Yu ManLou's venomous martial art! I am certain that this venom of his would render any martial artist helpless, regardless of how profound his cultivation was! The moment one suffers from such a venom, he would definitely be at the mercy of Yu ManLou. Both you and I wouldn't be an exception!”
”If we can find such a venom, it would also be considered giving Shui WuBo an answer! Even if he is dead, we have to let him die a knowing death. Furthermore, if we do not understand Yu ManLou's means, Justice, let me ask you, in the world today, who else will be worthy of Yu ManLou using such means to deal with?” Ling Tian let out a smile and pointed at Justice and himself, ”Apart from you, it would be me!”
”Do you want to be like Shui WuBo? Dying a mysterious death in the hands of Yu ManLou?” Ling Tian asked.
Justice's frowned slightly and said, ”If he is still alive, we would be able to investigate the venom. But since he is dead already, how can we investigate anything? Even if we cut him apart, what can we find? We would only be able to tell that he was poisoned to death.”
”I know how to perform an autopsy. Let me cut him open, I believe that I will be able to find out his cause of death. I believe that this would be Senior Shui WuBo's wish as well!” Ling Tian said with confidence.
Justice paused for a moment as he looked at Ling Tian. With a sigh, he placed his arms behind his back and gave his tacit approval.
Ling Tian bowed down thrice in front of Shui WuBo's corpse. Raising his head up, he saw Justice's hand behind his back looking as though he wasn't willing to take part in the dissection process and could not help but glance at Justice with disdain. Justice obviously wanted to know what was going on but was feigning his demeanor. However, he did not delay matters and pulled out his sword to get to work.
All of a sudden, Ling Tian let out a roar. Following that, he quickly took a step back and pulled Justice and Ling Jian back to retreat a hundred feet away!
