Chapter 148 Bully (1/2)
Bang-!
Beihua Wanlei's palm smashed into Lu Tianzi's chest.
With such a powerful attack directly hitting its target, there was no way that an Essence Condensation realm martial artist would be able to get away unscathed!
City Lord Nanlan sighed.
At this point, he definitely had to establish a connection with the Lightning Crow Sect. Otherwise, if the Nine Suns Sect realised that their precious top ranker was killed under his watch, there would be chaos in Bluenight City.
Without the support of the Lightning Crow Sect, it would be extremely difficult for him to suppress the Nine Suns Sect!
On the other hand, Sect Master Leiba smiled in satisfaction.
After returning from the Scarlet Moon Palace the day before, Beihua Wanlei had immediately looked for him, wanting to find a way to get rid of this Nanlu Tianzi. As a result, Sect Master Leiba had helped him make preparations for a fight with Nanlu Tianzi that might occur the very next day.
After all, a proud genius like Nanlu Tianzi was unlikely to quietly obey his seniors.
This preparation was not limited to only giving Beihua Wanlei the pendant that helped him to retain his focus either.
Apart from that, he had also helped Beihua Wanlei analyse Nanlu Tianzi's dual wield sabre and sword style, helping him devise a plan against Nanlu Tianzi.
However, from the looks of it now, they had been overly worried about this Nanlu Tianzi!
With just the first exchange of moves, the fight was already more or less decided!
But just as he was thinking that, Sect Master Leiba suddenly furrowed his eyebrows.
Why was the expression on Beihua Wanlei so ugly?
After which, Sect Master Leiba immediately turned his attention towards Lu Tianzi.
Not just him, but others watching had also started to sense that something was amiss.
Lu Tianzi was sent sliding backwards from the impact of the palm strike, but he remained standing nevertheless, the colour of his face not changing one bit.
Everyone's eyes narrowed in suspicion.
Despite receiving a direct hit from Beihua Wanlei, why did Nanlu Tianzi still seem to be in such a good condition?
Did the attack not connect?
That's not it either. The electric charges from Beihua Wanlei's treasure gauntlet had burnt a hole right through Lu Tianzi's clothes, revealing his chest underneath. There was no way that would have happened if Beihua Wanlei's attack did not land.
No, wait a minute!
That scaly texture revealed below was definitely not Lu Tianzi's chest!
Just like Beihua Wanlei, Lu Tianzi was wearing a set of treasure armour underneath his clothes!
Sect Master Leiba gritted his teeth in frustration.
How could it be?
Had Nanlu Tianzi always been prepared for a fight to break out at any point in time?
Or had he already been prepared to face off against Beihua Wanlei today?
Either way, that brat really lucked out this time!
Back on the fighting platform, Lu Tianzi frowned.
Because he was wearing the Nine Dragons Flexible Armour, Lu Tianzi had subconsciously let down his guard against attacks that were directed towards the areas on his body that were protected.
This was a mistake that he could not afford to commit in the future!
Even though the Nine Dragons Flexible Armour was supposed to be able to block most attacks from martial artists under the Origin Core realm, who knew if Beihua Wanlei had anything up his sleeves?
After all, Beihua Wanlei had the backing of Sect Master Leiba who was at the Seventh Cycle Origin Core realm.
Fortunately, the attack this time was still within the threshold that the Nine Dragons Flexible Armour could bear.
”Tch! Let's just see how long that armour of yours can hold up for!” Beihua Wanlei sneered. ”And don't forget that your face and arms are not covered. There are still plenty of ways for me to destroy you!”
”That is an interesting point. Let's see how much longer that armour of yours can hold up for as well,” Lu Tianzi replied before readying his weapons.
The previous exchange of moves was an answer to Beihua Wanlei's challenge.
But now, it was time to fight on his terms!
Lu Tianzi shot forward using his Flowing River Silent Strides, his sword piercing towards Beihua Wanlei.
”Not using that illusory sword technique of yours anymore?” Beihua Wanlei laughed before thrusting his hand out to meet the sword strike. ”Well, it is not like it will work even if you tried!”
Lu Tianzi could not help but let out a wry smile upon hearing this.
Since his cultivation level was still relatively low, it was not surprising that he was unable to fully exhibit the strength of the Howling Wraith Sword. In the end, even a random pendant from an Origin Core level influence was enough to overcome his illusory attack.
If his master Xihuang Yuanfeng were to ever hear of this, Lu Tianzi had no doubt that he would be treated with a scornful face.
However, so what if Beihua Wanlei somehow managed to counter his Howling Wraith Sword?
After all, the current Lu Tianzi had countless methods to defeat Beihua Wanlei!
A silvery light flashed through his eyes.
Limitless Mirror Eye!
After comprehending the Law of Origin, Lu Tianzi was able to see through the fundamentals of all his techniques, allowing him to bring his mastery of every single one of them to a higher level.
Even the mysterious Limitless Mirror Eye was no exception!
With the activation of the Limitless Mirror Eye, Lu Tianzi could now completely see through the energy flow in Beihua Wanlei's entire body.
The energy summoned to his palm for the attack.
The energy sent to his leg to act as a support.
As well as the energy in each and every part of the entity known as Beihua Wanlei, none of it could escape his eyes.
In his current state, no amount of feints would be able to work on Lu Tianzi any longer!
At this moment, Lu Tianzi flicked his wrists, and the sword in his hand immediately seemed to have grown a life of its own.
Under Lu Tianzi's perfect control, the sword tip coiled like a snake swimming freely through the water, as though it was performing an elegant dance for its audience.
