Chapter 149 True Ability of the Limitless Mirror Eye (1/2)
It is about time for us to end this!
Lu Tianzi's words resounded in everyone's ears.
If he had said this at the start of the fight, almost nobody would have taken him seriously.
But now that they had seen for themselves the exceptional combat prowess that Lu Tianzi had exhibited during the fight, they understood that he truly had the right to announce the impending end.
Seeing that a crack had appeared in Beihua Wanlei's treasure armour, what Lu Tianzi said might indeed not be too far off from what was about to happen!
”Do you think you have already won just because you managed to land a few hits?” Beihua Wanlei retorted.
But despite his words, Beihua Wanlei was feeling quite nervous at the moment. No matter how much he hate to admit it, there was almost no doubt that he was indeed inferior to the other party in terms of pure fighting capability.
Even so, that did not mean he was completely helpless in this situation.
After all, Beihua Wanlei still had a life saving trump card up his sleeves!
Being the top genius of the Lightning Crow Sect, there was no way that Sect Master Leiba would have allowed him to leave the safety of the sect without anything to protect himself with.
In Beihua Wanlei's possession was a single use item created by Sect Master Leiba, something he called the Lightning Crow Seed.
This Lightning Crow Seed looked to be an ordinary grey pearl. However, it contained the power of lightning that Sect Master Leiba had poured in generously, personally compressing it into a highly volatile state within the small pearl.
The moment the Lightning Crow Seed struck its target, it would immediately explode with the power of lightning belonging to a Seventh Cycle Origin Core realm expert!
That was definitely not something that an Essence Condensation realm martial artist would be able to handle.
Even this ridiculous combat talent in front of him would be no exception!
And since this was a fight to the death, it would be foolish of Beihua Wanlei not to use it to obtain victory.
If he kept saving it for any longer, he might just lose even his final opportunity to make use of it!
After all, a dead man would have no need for anything like it.
”Whether I will win or not, this move will be enough to prove it!” Lu Tianzi's body shot forward.
”Come!” Beihua Wanlei secretly swept over his spatial ring, and drew out the Lightning Crow Seed.
This action of his was done in a swift and discreet manner. In fact, not even the Origin Core realm martial artists watching from below the platform managed to notice the grey pearl that was now carefully hidden in his hand.
There would only be one chance, and he had to make it count!
Just like before, Lu Tianzi charged forward fearlessly.
By now, he had already seen most of what Beihua Wanlei was capable of. Still, he knew better than to let his guard down.
The first time he did, Lu Tianzi immediately suffered a direct hit to the chest. If not for his Nine Dragons Flexible Armour, he might really have been heavily injured then.
Now, Lu Tianzi was carefully watching Beihua Wanlei's every move with his Limitless Mirror Eye, and thus he had already noticed that Beihua Wanlei was secretly hiding something in his hand!
What was it?
A hidden weapon?
Poison?
Or a paper talisman?
But no matter what it was, Lu Tianzi had the confidence to stop Beihua Wanlei from using it altogether, just like how he completely ignored Beihua Wanlei's double activation of inscription skills earlier.
Beihua Wanlei had taken up a defensive posture to brace himself for the clash, but Lu Tianzi cared not for it. He decisively thrust forward with the Sword of Ivory Rock, aiming to end this once and for all!
Right as Lu Tianzi's sword strike was about to land, Beihua Wanlei finally moved.
He might not be able to read the movement of Lu Tianzi's sword, but defending himself became much easier now that he knew exactly where Lu Tianzi would be aiming for – his heart!
There was already a crack in his treasure armour where his heart was. If Lu Tianzi wanted to finish it in this exchange, he would have no choice but to aim for this one vulnerable spot in his defence!
Beihua Wanlei moved his left hand up to his chest, ready to deflect the incoming attack. At the same time, he prepared to fire out the Lightning Crow Seed with his right hand the very moment Lu Tianzi got close enough for him to be assured of a successful hit.
Just like what Beihua Wanlei had expected, Lu Tianzi did not hesitate to aim straight for his heart.
The Sword of Ivory Rock drew nearer and nearer, just like the scythe of the death reaper.
However, what Beihua Wanlei felt in the face of this danger was not fear, but excitement.
After all, things were all going according to his plan!
At this point, Lu Tianzi finally came close enough.
Now!
Beihua Wanlei turned his right hand, and prepared to flick out the Lightning Crow Seed.
But right as he was about to fire the Lightning Crow Seed, Lu Tianzi's left hand, that had been idle for a while, finally moved.
The Torrential Sabre slashed out, striking Beihua Wanlei's right gauntlet and knocking it out of the way.
Shit!
Beihua Wanlei cursed in his heart, hurriedly retracting the Lightning Crow Seed back into his hand. Had his reaction been just slightly slower, he could even have dropped the Lightning Crow Seed from the sudden impact!
If he actually dropped the Lightning Crow Seed at his own feet, it would have been a total disaster!
At the same time, Beihua Wanlei drove the Slaughter Essence in his inner world, sending all of his strength into his left gauntlet, activating its inscription skill once more.
He did not have the luxury of time to think about why this Nanlu Tianzi would suddenly break away from his attack pattern, using the sabre to knock away his right hand. However, what Beihua Wanlei knew was that no matter what, he definitely had to stop Nanlu Tianzi's attack.
Otherwise, it would all be over for him!
Huge bolts of electricity appeared once more, creating an extremely intimidating scene right in front of Beihua Wanlei. With the might of his inscription skill, Beihua Wanlei was certain that no matter how intricate Lu Tianzi's swordsmanship was, there was no way that he would be able to break through by force!
And even if it only scared Nanlu Tianzi off, he would still be fine with it.
After all, Beihua Wanlei needed just one opportunity to land his attack. One more chance was all he needed for everything to immediately end with his victory!
Seeing the heavily charged gauntlet safely guarding his opponent's heart, Lu Tianzi could not help but laugh inwardly.
Did this Beihua Wanlei think he was an idiot?
With a flick of his wrist, the Sword of Ivory Rock changed its direction in an instant.
Stab-!
The tip of the sword pierced through skin, and a thin trail of blood slowly seeped out of the wound.
At this moment, it was as though time had frozen on the fighting platform.
Beihua Wanlei's entire body was completely petrified, overwhelmed by fear.
Lu Tianzi stood facing him, holding firmly onto his sword with his outstretched right arm. The tip of the sword was now just barely embedded in Beihua Wanlei's forehead.
From his current position, all that Lu Tianzi needed was just a mere flick of his wrist for him to stab right through Beihua Wanlei's skull, ending his life in an instant!
Right now, it was no exaggeration to say that he truly had Beihua Wanlei's life in his grasp!
”You lost,” Lu Tianzi smirked confidently as he stared into Beihua Wanlei's eyes.
