Chapter 149 True Ability of the Limitless Mirror Eye (2/2)
At this moment, his figure looked to be much larger than it truly was, emanating an aura of untouchable oppression.
It was filled with an unstoppable momentum, as if no matter which opponent came his way right now, all that could happen was for them to be trampled beneath his feet!
This was a scene that would definitely be deeply embedded in the minds of everyone present!
The guests watching sighed in lamentation.
The fight was over, which meant that it was time for Beihua Wanlei of the Four Stars to meet his end.
Such a talented youngster, what a waste…
Nanlan Qianbing nervously swallowed her saliva.
Was this the same person whom she challenged back then in Bluenight Palace?
Back then, she had been indignant about her loss. But now that Nanlu Tianzi had come so far, attaining first place in the Scarlet Moon Heroes Meet, and even defeated the fiancé of her dreams in a fair one on one battle, the indignation in her young and immature heart had started to turn into a sense of awe and infatuation…
Standing beside Formation Master Beimu, Beimu Fei felt her blood boil in excitement.
That brat really did it! Master's decision to act in his stead today actually paid off!
But not everyone was able to react in a calm manner.
”Wanlei!” Sect Master Leiba yelled anxiously from outside of the platform. ”Nanlu Tianzi, you had better think through carefully before making your next move. If you stop now, things can still be reconciliable between us. Otherwise, my Lightning Crow Sect will forever be your enemy!”
”This is an arranged fight to the death between the two youngsters.” Formation Master Beimu remarked. ”Doesn't Sect Master Leiba think that your words sound a little strange?”
”I am not going against the agreement! Even if I do not go after him, it does not mean that I have to treat him kindly if we ever cross paths in the future!” Sect Master Leiba retorted. ”On the other hand, Nanlu Tianzi, if you stop right now, I can pretend that none of this ever happened between us. On top of that, you will be treated as an honoured friend of the Lightning Crow Sect, and we will do everything in our means to aid you in the future! And even if you stop here, everyone would agree with me that you have already won. Killing Wanlei will not do you any good at all. Think rationally before you act!”
Lu Tianzi glanced at Sect Master Leiba's anxious countenance, then turned back to look at Beihua Wanlei who was staring at him with hatred.
”You live to see another day,” Lu Tianzi retracted his sword, inevitably causing a small spurt of blood to escape from Beihua Wanlei's forehead. ”I hope you learn from this lesson.”
His actions surprised most of the people present.
Being a hotblooded youth, it was quite unexpected that he would be able to hold back after being treated by the other party in such a manner.
However, what they did not know was that Lu Tianzi had never intended to take Beihua Wanlei's life in the first place.
If he killed Beihua Wanlei in front of this many witnesses, even with the Beimu Clan's assurance, Lu Tianzi could not say for certain that the Lightning Crow Sect would not go crazy on him.
After all, it was not as though he could keep on staying under the protection of the Beimu Clan.
Rather than incur the wrath of a Seventh Cycle Origin Core realm martial artist like Sect Master Leiba, he would rather risk having an enemy in Beihua Wanlei, someone whom he could still defeat in a fight.
But if Beihua Wanlei were to look for him in the future, Lu Tianzi had no qualms about dispatching of him. Of course, that had to be done in a discreet manner.
Thud-!
Beihua Wanlei fell to his knees weakly, watching helplessly as Lu Tianzi walked away.
He actually lost?
In his mind, the scenes in which he repeatedly taunted the Intermediate Essence Condensation realm Nanlu Tianzi kept on replaying themselves.
Right from the moment they met, when Nanlu Tianzi butted into his conversation with Nanlan Qianxue.
Every action he took.
Every word he spoke.
All of it was now coming back to haunt Beihua Wanlei, causing him to feel endless shame and embarrassment.
There was no doubt that this incident would turn into a heart demon that would stand in the way of his martial path forever!
This meant that it would now be far more difficult for him to realise his true potential in the future…
No, he cannot let that happen!
Who is he?
He is Beihua Wanlei of the Lightning Crow Sect, a proud member of the Four Stars of Scarlet Moon City!
There can be no stain in his life!
Beihua Wanlei's eyes lit up. ”I have yet to admit my defeat!”
With a flick of his fingers, a grey pearl shot out at lightning speed, heading straight towards Lu Tianzi.
The watching guests were all dumbfounded!
Nanlu Tianzi showed mercy and let Beihua Wanlei off without killing him, yet the latter actually decided to stab him in the back?
Was this the grace that a member of the Four Stars should be exhibiting?
Formation Master Beimu widened his eyes in shock.
The Lightning Crow Sect was a top influence in Scarlet Moon City, and many of the guests present recognised the infamous Lightning Crow Seed. She was no exception.
Without the need to be told, the Eighth Cycle Origin Core realm martial artist beside her immediately shot forward, heading straight towards the fighting platform.
But despite his incredible speed, there was still no way that he would make it in time to block the hit for Lu Tianzi. All he would be able to do was to immediately render medical aid to Lu Tianzi after the damage had been done.
Hopefully that would be sufficient to save the life of the youngster…
”Nanlu Tianzi, watch out!” Beimu Fei shouted in caution.
Even before Beimu Fei shouted out, Lu Tianzi had already noticed the sudden burst of killing intent coming from Beihua Wanlei.
He spun around to face the kneeling Beihua Wanlei, only to see a small grey pearl heading towards him.
Lu Tianzi immediately understood that this must be the same item that Beihua Wanlei had hidden in his hand earlier.
With how fast it was approaching, there was no way he would be able to evade in time.
As for blocking it, Lu Tianzi dared not even think of trying.
Even though it was an unseeming and dull looking grey pearl, with how much confidence Beihua Wanlei had placed in it, Lu Tianzi guessed that it could very well be the greatest trump card of his opponent.
If he carelessly tried to block it with his sword and sabre, the resultant energy outburst might completely destroy him!
At this moment, a silvery light flashed through Lu Tianzi's eyes.
Along with it, the figure of the Lightning Crow Seed flickered for the slightest of moments, so quick that even most of the Origin Core realm martial artists present failed to notice it.
But what happened next was impossible to miss.
Without warning, just as fast as the Lightning Crow Sect had been heading towards Lu Tianzi, it suddenly reversed with the exact same speed.
And after reversing its direction, it was now headed straight towards Beihua Wanlei!
After firing out the Lightning Crow Seed, Beihua Wanlei had been brimming with adrenaline, eagerly looking forward to the thunderous explosion that would shred Lu Tianzi to pieces.
But the very moment he saw that the small grey pearl was now heading in his direction, this rush of adrenaline instantly drained away from him.
Already down on his knees, Beihua Wanlei had no means of evasion whatsoever. All he could do was watch on in confusion as the Lightning Crow Seed fly right at him.
What the fuck just happened?
