A sinister aura suddenly filled the entire arena!
With Shui WuBo's instincts as an expert, he immediately sensed that something was amiss. With a loud roar, the lotus formed by the sword light and sword Qi exploded and the sword Qi in the air gathered in a single direction, attacking Yu ManLou mercilessly!
At the same time, Shui WuBo's body spun rapidly and his sword brought with it the sound of the wind. He did not seek to injure Yu ManLou but sought to protect himself first. He formed an impenetrable net around his body and infused all of his internal Qi into his left hand. In an instant, a violent whirlwind was formed around him. Furthermore, the might of this whirlwind was extremely great and it seemed to be getting more and more violent.
In that instant, Shui WuBo's body was completely enveloped by a small whirlwind. Everyone could see with their naked eyes that the whirlwind was like a greenish-black flood dragon!
Shui WuBo didn't know what kind of method Yu ManLou was going to use, but he was able to sense something. He had a premonition that while he might be able to block Yu ManLou's attack, he definitely wouldn't be able to block it!
This was a very self-contradictory thing! However, Shui WuBo didn't hesitate to unleash all of his strength just like that!
It had to be said that Shui WuBo's intuition was extremely sharp. If he was a single instant late, he would have suffered a huge loss! But even if that was the case, he was still a little too late!
Yu Manlou had already pierced through his sword net like a bolt of lightning!
Everyone held their breaths in anticipation!
Ling Tian's eyes lit up as he observed carefully. This was Yu ManLou's trump card to save his life! As an ambitious and ruthless character, how could his last resort be simple? Thus, while Ling Tian was confident that he would be able to defeat Yu ManLou, he was still extremely fearful of Yu ManLou's trump card! Right now, it was time for him to reveal his trump card!
Yu ManLou didn't know that Ling Tian had also come to Heavenly Wind. If he knew, he would probably rather fight with Shui WuBo for three days and three nights before a victor was decided than to reveal his trump card! That was because he believed that the person who should be the one to bear the brunt of his trump card was Ling Tian!
Right now, out of the thousands of people present, only Ling Tian was able to see through Yu ManLou's every move! Even Ling Jian was unable to do so! As for the others, there was no need to even talk about it.
With a loud 'clang', a series of rapid slapping sounds could be heard. Following that, two low groans could be heard from both of their mouths!
Yu Manlou and Shui WuBo clashed in mid-air before the two of them separated in mid-air. Numerous streaks of blood splattered onto the battlefield, creating a glaring scarlet color!
While both of them were retreating, there was a huge difference between the two of them. Yu ManLou was retreating with ease but Shui WuBo was falling down like a kite with its string cut!
Ling Tian could clearly see that when Yu ManLou's sword came into contact with Shui WuBo's sword net, his left hand suddenly moved away from the sword hilt. Following that, his left hand turned into an inky black color that was even darker than the darkness! It clashed head-on with Shui WuBo's left palm that he had been accumulating power for!
Originally, the two of them were evenly matched. But right after their palms clashed, Ling Tian's eyes widened in shock!
After this palm strike, Shui WuBo's left hand rapidly turned black. There were also signs of swelling, but it quickly disappeared and returned to its normal color. However, a black line was climbing up Shui WuBo's arm at a high speed!
Right at this moment, Shui WuBo's originally light body fell down like a heavy rock!
Poison!
What a sharp poison!
Ling Tian's face changed!
He wasn't shocked by the fact that Yu ManLou used a poisonous palm but by the ferocity of the poison!
Shui WuBo's inner qi had already reached the peak of the XianTian realm and his pure XianTian cultivation was enough to neutralize all kinds of poisons in the world. Even if it was the most ferocious poison, Shui WuBo would still be able to expel it out of his body!
However, the poison on Yu ManLou's palm was not something that Shui WuBo could resist at all. Furthermore, the poison quickly invaded his body and attacked his heart meridians! His extremely pure XianTian qi was actually unable to resist the poison at all! In fact, it wasn't even able to delay the poison by a bit!
Just what kind of poison was this? It was actually so tyrannical!
If such a palm landed on his body, what would happen? Would he be able to escape?! As Ling Tian thought about this, he couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end!
If Shui WuBo was able to resist the poison for a moment, even if he wasn't able to escape in the end, Ling Tian was confident that this poison wouldn't be able to harm him. After all, his cultivation had already far surpassed Shui WuBo's! Even if Shui WuBo couldn't defend against it, it didn't mean that he couldn't defend against it!
However, what he saw was the XianTian peak XianTian inner qi being invaded without being able to retaliate at all. Furthermore, the poison disappeared without a trace!
Even with Ling Tian's two lifetimes of experience, he wasn't able to recognize such a poison! He couldn't figure it out! It was too frightening!
Cold sweat trickled down Ling Tian's face. He knew that Yu ManLou's target this time was him! In the current world, apart from Shui WuBo, there were only two people who were worthy of Ling Tian using such a poison. One of them was the Martial Order Medallion owner, Justice, and the other was Ling Tian himself!
Thinking back to the time when he exchanged palms with Yu ManLou, Ling Tian couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. Thankfully, his poison palms hadn't reached the large success stage back then! If not, even his bones would have been reduced to ashes by now!
At that time, he was truly too careless! That was extremely dangerous!
Shui WuBo's face was filled with rage as he staggered backwards. Blood spurted out from the wounds on his shoulder and thigh as he glared at Yu ManLou. His face was flushed red before turning green in an instant. It was as though he wanted to say something to Yu ManLou or curse at him!
Blood spurted out from the left side of Yu ManLou's chest and his originally dark complexion had already returned to normal. With a slight paleness, Yu ManLou retreated with a somersault and before his feet landed on the ground, he used the tip of his sword to prop himself up from the ground and straightened his sword. Borrowing the force of this rebound, Yu ManLou shot towards Shui WuBo's chest like a streak of light!
The sharpest sword qi had undoubtedly caused Shui WuBo's words to be stuck in his throat! How could Yu Manlou make Shui WuBo divulge his greatest secret in front of everyone after scheming for so long? This was his final trump card! Furthermore, it was something that couldn't be revealed to anyone!
Shui WuBo wanted to circulate his zhenqi, but the moment he circulated his zhenqi, his face turned black before turning deathly pale. At this moment, his gaze turned extremely strange. It seemed to be filled with mockery, as though he was mocking something. However, it also seemed as though there was nothing in his eyes. It was as though his eyes were empty …
However, Shui WuBo's face was glowing with an incomparable radiance at this moment!
The sword in his hand jumped up like a spirit snake, as though the sword itself was moving on its own. Cold sword qi gushed out, but it didn't spread out like before. The sword qi only reached an inch in front of Yu ManLou's chest!
That's right, after receiving such a fatal poison injury and facing the final sword strike of his life, which was also the most dangerous situation in his life, Shui WuBo had finally broken through his own shackles! He had reached the realm where his sword qi was restrained like what Ling Tian had mentioned. From this moment onwards, he had finally achieved something in his life's pursuit of the Dao of the Sword!
A breakthrough in his cultivation would definitely bring about a doubling of his strength! If he had comprehended this a moment ago, even if another Yu ManLou appeared, he would be able to kill him with his sword!
However, it was a pity that he had broken through too late and it was far too coincidental!
While he had successfully broken through to this realm, he was only able to display less than 1% of the strength of this realm!
With Yu ManLou's attainments in martial arts, he naturally understood this point. He stared into Shui WuBo's eyes and said softly, "It's too late!"
He also broke out in cold sweat. Shui WuBo had actually broken through at this moment!
Thankfully, Shui WuBo only managed to break through at this moment!
The God of Fortune is indeed still on my side!
"Pu!" The steel sword pierced deeply into Shui WuBo's chest! At the same time, Yu ManLou hurriedly dodged to the side and Shui WuBo's final sword flew past his chest, leaving behind a deep wound!
"Don't kill him!" An earth-shattering roar sounded the moment the sword pierced into Shui WuBo's chest. However, it was already too late!
The entire sky above Mount Vacant seemed to have distorted and a figure appeared in the middle of the battlefield like a dream. He grabbed onto Yu ManLou's sword and even though the sharp sword was in his palm, his palm was actually not injured at all!
Justice!
However, it was already too late.
Yu ManLou's face remained calm and he let go of his sword with a smile. He retreated 50 feet away and stood with his hands behind his back.
He allowed half of the sword to be pierced into Shui WuBo's chest!
Shui WuBo's lifeless eyes suddenly turned fiery as he looked at Justice. He was originally unable to speak and even the last bit of his life force had been taken away by this sword. However, for some unknown reason, his face suddenly turned red.
He coughed weakly and said softly, "… Martial … Order … Medallion … owner?" While his voice was weak, it was filled with calmness. He did not have the slightest bit of resentment towards Yu ManLou's despicable methods and only calmness.
"It's me." Justice said calmly as he looked at him.
"… ah …" Shui WuBo's eyes suddenly lit up before dimming down. His eyes slowly closed and a faint smile appeared on his face. His expression was one of peace and contentment!
This person had been obsessed with martial arts his entire life and his only joy was to practice the sword. His only goal was to reach the pinnacle of the way of the sword! His only wish was to meet the greatest opponent in his heart, as well as the idol in his heart, Justice!
Before he died, he had already achieved the two things that he had pursued in his entire life!
He had broken through the way of the sword and met the Martial Order Medallion owner, Justice. Furthermore, he had also seen Justice's unrivalled movement technique. That was the realm that he desired but would never be able to reach!
As for his way of the sword, it had already reached the height that he had dreamed of! Although it was just a flash in the pan. He was already satisfied. Thus, even though he was defeated in a fair battle, he did not have any complaints! Even if he died, he did not have any complaints!
Because, this was the final ending that he had chosen for himself as a martial artist! Being killed by someone's plot was much better than dying in bed due to illness!
The martial arts fanatic of a generation, the First Elder of the Shui Family, Shui WuBo, died!
Justice slowly placed Shui WuBo's body on the ground and with a 'shua' sound, he pulled out Yu ManLou's sword from Shui WuBo's chest. After taking a closer look, he had already discovered that something was amiss. While Yu ManLou's methods might be able to deceive everyone in the world, how could they possibly deceive a peerless martial arts master and a peerless medical expert?! He suddenly raised his head and faced Yu ManLou with a frosty expression and killing intent, "Family Head Yu, don't you think that this is a little shady?" His intention to condemn Yu ManLou was obvious!
Yu ManLou chuckled and stood with his hands behind his back, "This is the generational battle between the Shui and Yu Families! This has been the rule for the past thousand years. The winner lives and the loser dies! It will not end until one of them is dead! Furthermore, this rule was set by your Beyond Heavens! Does Mister Justice have any objections?! "
Justice's eyes burned with rage and he said solemnly, "Does this rule also include using shady methods?"
"Shady methods?" Yu ManLou chuckled and said calmly, "I wonder if the shady methods that Lord is referring to are my sword techniques, palm techniques, or movement techniques? I would like Lord to give me some pointers! "
Justice's face calmed down and he looked at Yu ManLou like a hawk. With a powerful aura, he said slowly, "This battle should not have ended in such a manner. While Lord Tamago's final move was extremely powerful and could be considered a sword art, it was far from enough to kill Shui WuBo in a single strike! But why was it that Shui WuBo did not have the ability to retaliate after receiving that attack? There must be a reason behind this! And the reason lies with you! This battle is definitely not fair! This result is naturally unfair! "
Yu ManLou chuckled and a mocking expression appeared on his face. "Could it be that Lord thinks that only when this Yu dies under Shui WuBo's sword can it be considered fair?" He ignored everything that Justice had said earlier, but he caught onto the word 'unfair'. But the more he acted this way, the more suspicious Justice became.
Justice snorted coldly, "The generational battle has been going on for thousands of years. If it was a fair fight, Shui WuBo's death wouldn't be a big deal. But if he was killed by some underhanded means, no one would be able to accept the death of such a valiant expert. Especially when he was fighting against two experts of the same level! Family Head Tamago, your methods are truly despicable! "
Yu ManLou laughed coldly and said, "This is a battle of life and death and not some sparring match! Now that Shui WuBo has died, victory and defeat is clear. Everyone here can bear witness to this! I wonder what is the meaning behind Lord's words? "
Justice stared at Yu ManLou for a moment and his face was expressionless. After a long while, he finally said, "Yu ManLou, I will definitely investigate this matter to the end!"
A trace of indignation could be seen on Yu ManLou's face as he said angrily, "Whatever Lord wants to do, please do as you wish! If you don't have any other instructions, I will announce the result of this battle! "
Right at this moment, a soft voice sounded in Justice's ears, "Brother, I want Shui WuBo's corpse. There will be traces left on it and I'm afraid I will need your help later on!"
Justice's face changed and he bent down to carry Shui WuBo's corpse. He said calmly, "Life and death have already been determined. What's the point of announcing the result?" He then carried Shui WuBo and walked out.
The members of the Shui Family were still in a state of shock and no one dared to stop Justice from returning Shui WuBo to his roots. In the entire Heavenly Wind, Shui WuBo was a figure that stood at the top of the pyramid. Not to mention dying in battle, no one had even thought that he would lose! Even if his opponent was Yu ManLou!
But not only did he lose, he lost in such a baffling manner and even died on the spot! This was news that was like a bolt from the blue!
In fact, Justice had already arrived a long time ago. His interest in this generational battle was not below that of Ling Tian. He had already concealed himself and watched the battle with interest. From time to time, he would comment on the battle in his heart. It was a pity that no one was lucky enough to hear this.
Even though he realized that there was something wrong with the battle between Yu ManLou and Shui WuBo, he did not intend to make a move. This was a battle of life and death and even if Yu ManLou used poison or hidden weapons, there was nothing wrong with it! If Shui WuBo died, so be it! In the battle between the two families, according to the records of Beyond Heavens, even the most despicable and sinister methods had been used before! This was nothing at all.
Only when Shui WuBo finally broke through at the last moment did Justice's expression change! To Justice who yearned for a worthy opponent, Shui WuBo's breakthrough was extremely rare and precious! Shui WuBo's breakthrough this time was already close to Justice's level!
After breaking through, Shui WuBo already had the qualifications to fight with Justice!
However, it was all too late. Justice's attempt to stop Shui WuBo was completely futile and Shui WuBo was still killed by Yu Manlou! He had lost a rare opponent for no reason! This was the reason why Justice was so enraged!
Seeing Yu ManLou carrying Shui WuBo out, Ling Tian was naturally not interested in the chaotic battle that would ensue. Right now, he was most interested in Yu ManLou's poison arts which he had cultivated to the large success stage! This was something that could threaten him and was extremely dangerous!
Perhaps only Shui WuBo's corpse would be able to provide the answer to this question and Justice was undoubtedly the most authoritative doctor! Thus, he shot a glance at Ling Feng and the rest before leaving silently with Ling Jian to chase after Justice.
Ling Tian's arrangement for Ling Feng and the rest was for Yu BingYan to remain here since the battle had ended! She definitely could not return with Tamago! Otherwise, who knew what kind of venomous scheme Yu Manlou might have in store for her. Right now, Ling Tian was not willing to take any risks!
Yu BingYan had already fulfilled her last bit of responsibility as Tamago's descendant! Since Tamago was heartless, then from now on, Yu BingYan only had one identity and that was to be Ling Tian's woman!
As for me, Ling Tian, I will definitely not allow anyone to harm my woman! Even if it was a hidden threat, I will definitely not allow it!
