The night was as black as ink.
Despite the hustle and bustle of the vast Dark City, it was still a secluded place.
In the quiet ruins, only the mottled moonlight shrouded them.
This place was deserted and could be considered a wasteland at the edge of the Dark City. Swish, swish …
At this moment, there were two figures flashing across the desolate land with lightning speed. They were like two shooting stars that streaked across the night sky.
When these two figures each landed on a broken wall above the ruins, they stopped and suddenly turned their heads to look behind them.
As the flowing light converged, two young men were revealed. The one on the left was about twenty-one or twenty-two years old. He was tall and sturdy. Under the cover of the moonlight, his faint bronze skin glowed with the light of the leaves. His facial features were distinct and deep, giving him a sculpture-like feeling. His temperament was extraordinary, as if he could occupy the vast sky and suppress the mountains and rivers.
The young man on the right was dressed in a black robe that was as black as ink. He was very handsome, and his facial features were clear as if they were carved. His appearance seemed to be unrestrained, but the light in his eyes made people not dare to underestimate him.
"You've been following me for so long. There's no one here. You can come out now!"
The handsome young man in a black robe on the right looked at the sky and said. His voice was soft, but it faintly revealed a fierce aura. The aura on his body fluctuated faintly, spreading a little Evil Qi.
"Tianwu Academy's Nine Nether has too few ghost dolls and no generals. What a coincidence!"
A sinister voice rang out in the darkness, causing people's hair to stand on end. After which, a silhouette appeared out of nowhere.
Suddenly, a skinny old man appeared in front of the two young men. He was all skin and bones, and his eyes were sunken deep into his eye sockets. His pupils were slightly red, and they were filled with an extremely gloomy chill.
"Ghost Claw, you clearly know that we're here for you. Surrender, or let us teach you a lesson first!"
The young man on the left, who exuded an aura that could suppress mountains and rivers, bellowed as a sharp glint flashed across his eyes. He was the number one on Tianwu Academy's Martial Ranking, General Budou Shan He.
As the number one general on the Martial Ranking, he had maintained his position ever since he came to Tianwu Academy, and no one had been able to shake his position. He was the undisputed number one expert of Tianwu Academy, and his name shook the entire empire. In the past, the emperor of the Stone Dragon Empire had declared that once a general graduated from Tianwu Academy, he would be granted a fief of his own.
There were already rumors of the general's strength. It was said that even some of the elders in Tianwu Academy were unable to do anything to him. Previously, the one who captured Ghost Claw was him and the second ranker on the Martial Ranking, Gu Xinyan.
Without that little girl, I'm afraid your strength is not enough. If this old man had not been careless last time, do you really think you could have captured me? However, I do miss that little girl. She's really a peerless beauty. It's a pity that she didn't come today. This old man can only find another day to catch up with her alone. "
The skinny old man took a step forward in the air. He looked at the two young men with a cold look in his eyes. At this moment, he did not really care about the two of them.
As Ghost Claw, whose name shook the entire Dark Forest, he had killed plenty of Tianwu Academy disciples. Thus, he didn't mind adding two more to the list. In any case, Tianwu Academy wouldn't let him off. Furthermore, one of the two was his enemy, someone he had to kill no matter what.
"You're courting death!"
The black-robed handsome young man didn't say much. Instead, his voice became increasingly sharp. Everyone in Tianwu Academy knew that he, Ghost Claw, was too young and didn't like to talk much.
As soon as he finished speaking, the faint black profound energy around Ghost Claw was accompanied by a murderous aura. Like liquid, it enveloped his entire body. The swirling profound energy and murderous aura emitted a faint glow. Under the mottled moonlight, it looked extremely eerie.
"Hula!"
The aura released by Ghost Claw caused ripples to appear in the surrounding space. Just this aura alone was enough to prove that Ghost Claw was truly ranked third on the Martial Ranking.
Ghost Claw's gaze turned gloomy as he looked at the aura and killing intent emanating from Ghost Child. He licked his dry lips and sneered, "Tsk tsk, this must be the Ghost King Palace's Yama Scripture. As expected of a 'Middle Grade Earth Level' cultivation method, it's just right for me to cultivate. If I can get my hands on it, I'm sure my cultivation will improve again."
"The Ghost King Palace's Yama Scripture? I'm afraid you won't have the life to cultivate it!"
Ghost Claw said coldly. Faint black profound energy surged, causing the abundant energy and murderous aura to ripple around his body. Faintly, the glow of black runes began to spread.
"In the past, I was naturally afraid of the Ghost King Palace and Tianwu Academy. However, everything has changed now. Tianwu Academy, Ghost King Palace, and Ghost King Palace are nothing to me. Since you want to touch this old man today, then leave your lives behind!"
His cold laughter was ear-piercing. When Ghost Claw's voice sounded, numerous mysterious symbols surged out from his withered ghost claw like hands. A sinister aura also spread out from his body. Under the sinister aura, the profound aura within the general and Ghost Child's bodies began to show signs of stagnation.
"Martial Marquis Nirvana Realm. Ghost Claw has broken through to the Martial Marquis Nirvana Realm."
Sensing the aura from Ghost Claw, General and Ghost Claw's expressions turned grave.
"That's right. This old man, Tianyou, has broken through to the Martial Marquis Nirvana Realm. Children, prepare to die today!"
Ghost Claw sneered. At the same time, his figure turned into a shadow and pounced on Ghost Claw like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Ghost Claw.
Looking at Ghost Claw's speed, Ghost Claw's pupils contracted slightly. Suddenly, a faint glow spread out from his eyes. Ghost Claw looked indescribably ghostly and cold. With a wave of his hand, black profound energy and runes swept out. His attack shook the air and enveloped Ghost Claw with a faint murderous aura.
"Just reached the Martial Marquis Realm. Kid, you're not strong enough!"
Ghost Claw sneered and did not dodge. His face was gloomy and cold. His withered palm was like a ghost claw as it fiercely collided with Ghost Child's attack. Dazzling energy runes blossomed and a deep sonic boom suddenly resounded.
"Swoosh!"
In such a collision, Ghost Claw did not move at all. However, Ghost Claw was pushed back by a dark force.
"Seal of Mountains and Rivers!"
In a short instant, the Budian Shanhe General pounced forward. An aura that could suppress mountains and rivers burst out and profound energy surged.
"Boom!"
The general's palm strike was accompanied by a dazzling light, causing the space to rumble and tremble. The palm strike slammed towards the Ghost Claw, and a vast amount of rune energy swept out like a torrential flood.
The Budian Shanhe General was very powerful. As the strongest person in Tianwu Academy, he was unrivaled in the entire academy. Just this palm alone was enough to prove how terrifying his strength was.
"As expected of the strongest person in Tianwu Academy. You're getting stronger and stronger. If you die in my hands, it will be enough to make my name resound throughout the world!"
Ghost Claw sneered and did not retreat. A claw that was wrapped in mysterious symbols tore through the sky and ruthlessly collided with the terrifying palm that could suppress mountains and rivers. The formidable claw seemed to be able to tear through the sky. After enduring for a short moment, it actually directly tore apart the golden palm and neutralized the terrifying palm.
...
It was a moonlit night. It was already midnight.
The Dark City was still brightly lit. Many places were still as bright as day and were bustling with noise.
In the Four Seas Inn, the hall on the first floor was still bustling with activity and there were no empty seats.
At a secluded table, Du Shaofu, Li Yuxiao, and Luo Tianchen's table was filled with the smell of alcohol.
However, at this moment, there was an additional person at the table. His black hair was tied behind his head, and a few strands of hair fell to his ears. He had a handsome appearance and a pair of deep, pitch-black eyes. However, when he ate and drank, he didn't look elegant at all. He wasn't much better than Du Shaofu, who was wolfing down his food. He was the fifth-ranked Heaven Gathering Sword, Guo Shaofeng.
Guo Shaofeng was the last to arrive. When he saw Du Shaofu, Li Yuxiao, and Luo Tianchen drinking and eating, he immediately sat down. He didn't stand on ceremony and simply said, "Drink and eat. You can't leave me out next time unless you look down on me."
"We thought that your ranking was too high and we were afraid that we wouldn't be able to invite you."
Du Shaofu replied to Guo Shaofeng as he gulped down his wine.
Du Xiaoyao had been quietly sitting at the side. At this moment, after seeing Guo Shaofeng, her pale golden Spirit Eyes had been staring at the ancient bracelet on Guo Shaofeng's hands. That was a Practitioner Weapon. Her saliva was about to flow out.
Li Yuxiao and Luo Tianchen exchanged glances. They originally thought that Du Shaofu didn't know how to drink, but after drinking, they realized that they were the ones who didn't know how to drink.
Du Shaofu drank as if he was drinking water. He gulped down the wine and ate the meat in big mouthfuls.
The King Scaled Demonic Tiger also sat down on a chair and ate with big mouthfuls of meat. However, no matter how much meat there was, it wasn't enough for it.
The four of them ate for nearly two hours before they were full. Du Shaofu wiped his mouth and looked at Li Yuxiao, Guo Shaofeng, and Luo Tianchen. He raised his wine glass and said, "I didn't expect that your table manners would be as bad as mine."
Li Yuxiao, Guo Shaofeng, and Luo Tianchen raised their wine glasses and clinked them with Du Shaofu's. They drank it all in one gulp.
Then Li Yuxiao glanced at Du Shaofu. His dark red eyes became darker as he said, "Bullshit, my table manners are definitely better than yours."
"Haha …"
Du Shaofu laughed loudly, attracting the attention of the guests at the surrounding tables. However, they didn't pay much attention to the four of them.
Du Shaofu continued to say to Li Yuxiao, "Li Yuxiao swears. If word gets back, it will definitely be news."
"He always swears. It's just that you don't know it."
Luo Tianchen was not surprised. He looked at Du Shaofu and said, "Fighting with you is not fun at all. It's too depressing. However, drinking and eating with you is not bad."
