Chapter 139: 139 Taiyou Moon Devouring Technique

Translator: 549690339

When Gu Yang found himself plunged into darkness, he did not panic. Soon, his hearing was also stripped from him, making him as if a deaf and blind man, yet his expression remained calm, utterly unflustered.

Gao Fan had mentioned that the Shen Family had a unique and mystical technique passed down—The Taiyou Moon Devouring Technique. This technique had the ability to create an environment of sheer darkness, stripping enemies of their sight and hearing.

Those from the Shen Family who practiced this technique could blend into the darkness, making it impossible to pinpoint their locations.

Especially during nighttime, it was essentially their home turf. They could strike or retreat at will, making it extremely hard to deal with.

If Gu Yang had faced Shen Ao before yesterday, he would have found it quite troublesome.

But now

He just changed his perspective, and he could “see” Shen Ao’s location.

The energy within this man’s body was starkly different from all those he had met, shockingly black in color. This was certainly no ordinary technique he cultivated with.

Just as Gu Yang prepared to make his move and surprise Shen Ao, a burst of white energy exploded from the side. It was Pei Qianlan.

He was taken aback, “What is she doing? Is she seeking death?”

She had only just broken through to First Rank, her strength not even on par with the First Rank guards in the palace. Yet she was now displaying a power ten times stronger than her own, evidently using a forbidden technique that supposedly drained one’s life-force.

Can’t be serious, right?

The target is me, not you.

Gu Yang really couldn’t understand why she was so desperate.

In the darkness, a radiant sword light shone brightly, then faded in the blink of an eye, akin to a transient blossom.

“Escape quickly!”

In that split second, Gu Yang thought he could hear her shout. Then, the world turned silent again.

He watched as her life force dimmed, his heart slightly moved.

Turns out, she was trying to save him!

This was the first time Gu Yang came across such a resolute person, who after being saved by him, was willing to stake her life to repay the favor.

He looked in Shen Ao’s direction, a thick killing intent flashing in his eyes.

“Darkness engulfs all light!”

Shen Ao was extremely cunning. Even when facing one who had just broken through to the First Rank, he would be relentless, attacking with all his might, holding nothing back.

After all, this area belonged to Jinghai Princess. A swift battle was needed to prevent unforeseen circumstances.

He exerted his power to absorb all light around him, creating a dark domain, and sealed off everyone’s hearing with his Martial Arts. He was preparing to strike Gu Yang.

The woman risked her life with a sword strike and actually made a crack in his created darkness.

“What kind of sword technique is this?”

Shen Ao had traveled across the world in his youth and witnessed the martial arts of various sects and powers, but he had never seen the sword technique of the Jinghai Princess.

This ability to break through his created darkness was far from ordinary. If she were at the peak of First Rank, she would certainly be a formidable opponent for him.

Just as a killing intent surged within Shen Ao, a violent wind attacked him.

A punch was heading straight towards his chest.

It was Gu Yang!

Shen Ao had no idea when he had gotten so close.

Shen Ao was surprised, yet he was quick to react and shifted his position, reappearing ten meters away.

“How did he know my location?”

“It must be luck——”

The next moment, Gu Yang was charging at him again, punching accurately towards him in the same manner.

Shen Ao narrowed his eyes.

One could be a coincidence, yet accurately finding his location a second time was certainly not a coincidence anymore.

“He managed to see through my technique!”

Killing intent surged in Shen Ao’s heart.

The ability to create absolute darkness and to merge his body into the darkness, these were the foundations on which he based his domination. If someone were to break it, he would lose half his strength.

“This man must die!”

Now, for him, killing Gu Yang had become more important than reclaiming his technique.

This time, Shen Ao did not dodge. He mobilized all True Essence in his body and punched towards him, planning to kill Gu Yang on the spot with absolute power.

Though the Taiyou Moon Devouring Technique was not renowned for its power, with his cultivation at the peak of First Rank, would it not be effortless to kill a rookie who had just broken through to the First Rank?

“Die!”

When Shen Ao made his move, he used Shen family’s secret technique, Star Shattering Fist.

Boom!

The two forces clashed head-on.
