Chapter 238: Mangled Flesh (1/2)
Chapter 238: Mangled Flesh
The sky remained the same as before. In the night, a darkness shrouded the entire world as if even the everlasting time would never be able to change this truth.
Dongfang Mu’s spear had shattered and only a small section of it was left in his grasp. This was a top-level treasure, yet it was split into pieces by Feng Feiyun’s saber, reduced to scraps of metal.
“Already so powerful before reaching grand achievement God Base!” Dongfang Mu’s heart sank as he stood on the ground full of cracks. He threw the shattered spear to the ground.
“I am only using you to refine my blade!” Feng Feiyun was a hundred meters away from him. His momentum was still strong and the saber energy surrounded his body.
“Hmph! Don’t speak too soon. I’ll show you my Yin Gou Clan’s great technique, ‘Righteous Energy of the Dragon Lake’.” Dongfang Mu had never lost to someone with a lower cultivation than himself. Although his weapon was broken, his will to battle remained unperturbed.
Dragon Lake spans three thousand miles, the White Jade represents Yin Gou! 1
Feng Feiyun had been wanting to see the righteous energy from the Yin Gou Clan since much earlier. He raised his stone saber again and took the initiative. Both his saber and his own body resembled a dragon.
Now, Dongfang Mu was wearing two iron claws ladened with scales. He reached out and a golden flash shot out from his body. The righteous energy echoed powerfully.
With this attack, a divine lake in the air easily shattered the saber energy in the form of a dragon that Feng Feiyun unleashed.
The second claw came quickly. The radiating golden lake came crashing down above Feng Feiyun’s head.
“Boom!” Feng Feiyun slashed his saber downward after propelling himself into the air. One slash came out after another like the waves in a blue sea — the latter stronger than the former. They forced Dongfang Mu to continuously retreat.
“Dragon Lake’s Righteous Energy, level four!” Four golden waves of spirit energy shot out from Dongfang Mu and shattered the seventy-two dragon slashes.
Both the Dragon Lake’s Righteous Energy and Dragon King’s Saber Art carried a draconic affinity. One was righteous while the other tyrannical. The two of them caused dragon roars to echo across the sky. These two draconic energies continued to suppress and antagonize the other.
Feng Feiyun was immersed in training his saber technique earlier. His mastery of the first slash increased as his grasp on its essence grew.
Nangong Hongyan was standing on top of the carriage under the gentle moonlight. Even with her feeble body, her starry eyes could still see the thick clouds a hundred miles away as well as the golden righteous energy and white saber energy clashing in the air, creating frightening gusts of wind.
“Whoosh!” Beiming Tang suddenly appeared right behind her on top of the carriage. He had an excited glimmer in his eyes to the point where he was slightly shaking; he could smell her sweet fragrance that would make people go wild.
Just Nangong Hongyan standing there was more than enough to make his blood boil. A tremor emanated from his bones, forcing him to say: “Feng Feiyun is not worthy of you. Follow me, I will let you be the future mistress of the Beiming Clan.”
Beiming Tang didn’t ask for her permission before grasping the three strange yellow beasts’ reins. He controlled the carriage and flew towards the north under the bright moonlight.
***
Dongfang Mu started cultivating the Dragon Lake’s Righteous Energy from an early age. After thirty years of training, he had reached the fourth level of the technique. This was not something a person who had only trained in the saber art for two months like Feng Feiyun could compare to.
“Rumble!” The golden righteous energy shattered the clouds. He unleashed another fist, creating a huge fist-formed shadow as large as a room.
“Saber training is over!” Feng Feiyun suddenly withdrew his saber and glanced over at the carriage in the north. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes: “To actually dare to rob someone right in front of me… Beiming Tang, you court death!”
He threw down the huge stone saber and pinned it in the ground, making it look like a stone tablet.
He landed on the shaft and summoned the Infinite Spirit Ring. The power of the Spirit Treasure was instantly channeled. Six ancient images flew out from the ring with their great suppressive pressures. 2
His cultivation was countless times higher after reaching the seventh floor of the Immeasurable Tower. Thus, his ability to use the Spirit Treasure’s power doubled as well.
The ring attacked and shattered the huge golden fist in the sky then pierced through Dongfang Mu’s righteous energy.
Dongfang Mu felt an overwhelming force strike his body as well as his chest. The blood inside his body seemed to be oozing out from his skin.
“Pluff!” The epidermis of his chest was torn apart as blood gushed out and splattered all over the ground. Dongfang Mu retreated seven steps back and eventually came to a stop with one knee on the ground. His hands were supporting his body.
The power of the Spirit Treasure was unstoppable. If he wasn’t at grand achievement God Base, then he wouldn’t have been able to stop it; he would have wallowed in regret in the afterlife.
“I have no time to play with you!” Feng Feiyun recalled his ring and carried his saber to pursue to the north. He stomped on the ground once and traveled three hundred meters instantly.
He was unsuccessful in killing Beiming Tang several times already. Now, this person dared to touch Nangong Hongyan. Today, he must kill him; no one will be able to protect him!
