Chapter 1848: Chapter 1875: A Bizarre Scene
Li Xiaobai and Yu Huan Shui are poised to strike, with their senses heightened to the utmost.
"Little thing, let’s attack him from both sides and hit him hard directly."
Yu Huan Shui whispered.
He wanted to start off with a big move to catch the opponent off guard.
"Well, actually, since leaving the Three Talents Domain, my cultivation level has been sealed. It’ll take two hours to unlock it."
"During this time, it’s up to you."
Li Xiaobai took a step back calmly.
Yu Huan Shui widened his eyes in disbelief: "No way, you’re playing me! Two hours is enough for me to be chopped into pieces!"
"Jiang Que’s team isn’t top-notch. His strength may not surpass yours."
"There are quite a few helpers nearby, enough to handle it."
"Go ahead, I trust you!"
Li Xiaobai said in the most steadfast tone, uttering the most cowardly words. He couldn’t let his thoughts show on his face or let Da Jianbi realize he couldn’t use his power at the moment.
"What are you talking about?"
"My offensive has already started; if you don’t make a move, you won’t have the chance."
The black-robed man, arms crossed, sat on a mat with great interest.
His tone was playful, and as his words fell, the entire Xiaobai Academy shook violently.
The already dilapidated buildings became even more desolate, starting from the roof, turning bit by bit into flying ashes.
The entire courtyard slowly disintegrated from top to bottom.
The subtle changes were unnoticed at first, but they gradually became clearer over time.
The courtyard unknowingly had been erased by half.
"When did this happen..."
"Didn’t even notice anything... is it his Law of Power?"
Yu Huan Shui was suddenly shocked, his eyes becoming sharp, as he lifted a brush in one hand and started writing in the air.
"You are the first to show hostility in front of Yu without keeping a distance!"
"At this range, you’re entirely within the attack range of my Gate of Destiny. Watch me rewrite your fate and end it all in an instant!"
"Gate of Destiny!"
Yu Huan Shui shouted angrily, as the Law of Fate unfolded, and a line of tiny words appeared on the black-robed man’s face.
[Do not attack Yu Huan Shui!]
[Just turn around and walk out the door.]
However, in the next second, the black-robed man was unaffected by the words from the Gate of Destiny. The two lines Yu Huan Shui had written started to peel off his face.
As if they weren’t stuck firmly, they fell to the ground.
This guy named Da Jianbi was not controlled by the Gate of Destiny.
"Heh heh, everyone knows that Yu Huan Shui can control people’s actions, even dissipating their hostility. You think I would come here without precaution?"
The black-robed man chuckled eerily.
"This guy came prepared, definitely due to that Law of Logic. The Law of Logic can actually counter your Gate of Destiny? What’s his level?"
Li Xiaobai frowned, speaking in a deep tone. Things were complicated now, as the infallible Law of Fate failed.
It meant Yu Huan Shui’s trump card was useless.
"Logic has many branches; this person’s visualized item is completely different from [Peach Blossom Spring Record]!"
Yu Huan Shui felt it was tricky, with the academy being eroded bit by bit, his Gate of Destiny ineffective, and very little information at hand with no correlation, making it impossible to discern Da Jianbi’s visualized item abilities.
"But one thing is for sure: this guy’s Law of Power, like the Gate of Destiny, is all about playing with rules."
"As long as they’re related to rules, there will certainly be some restrictions requiring certain trigger conditions to be effective. Mr. Yu, go up and confront him so I can observe."
Li Xiaobai said, stroking his chin.
The ability to manipulate rules must be limited, a principle he understood from Yue Xing Bilian Village.
"No need for Mr. Yu to act; we are enough!"
"So reckless, truly thinking Eight Desolates Domain is empty!"
"Kill!"
A few masters, hidden in the corner, suddenly attacked. After Yu Huan Shui and Da Jianbi’s first round of engagement, they could preliminarily sense his aura. His cultivation level should be in the Immortal Gods Realm, similar to theirs, and they could definitely handle it.
"Hey, hey, hey, rushing in like this, aren’t you afraid of straining yourself? Starting intense exercise without proper warm-up can easily injure your meridians."
Da Jianbi didn’t move a step.
A weird scene happened again.
The cultivators charging forward suddenly fell to the ground simultaneously, spitting out blood from their mouths, their meridians inside damaged, suffering backlash.
"What kind of sorcery is this!"
"Actually damaged meridians, could it be poison!"
The masters were shocked, guaranteeing they hadn’t been in contact with the black-robed man.
When did they fall into the trap, completely unnoticed.
"It’s not far off to call it poison. Look, originally the courtyard was bustling, everyone celebrating when prosperous. But once something goes wrong, it becomes deserted, only a few left. In such times, a toxin called loneliness is born in the air."
Da Jianbi stood up, hands behind his back, strolling in the courtyard, seemingly having entered an invincible realm.
"Even if it’s poison, once engaged, there’s no reason to retreat. Do you think mere meridian damage can stop an old man like me?"
An elder coughed blood, staggering to his feet, shaking a long spear in his hand, heading straight for the black-robed man’s throat.
The sharpness in the air materialized, blocking the black-robed man’s path, this was his Law of Power.
"You have such a strong murderous aura; you must have killed many people in your life. Do you take pleasure in killing?"
"Or fight for belief?"
The black-robed man opened his mouth and asked.
"Naive child, when I battled in the Boundary Sea, you weren’t even born!"
"Mr. Yu’s contributions to the starry sky, how dare such a concealed individual like you desecrate it!"
The elder said while coughing up blood and swinging the long spear.
"So it’s for belief, then. You must be careful, senior. It’s said that those who fight for belief must have innocent people dead by their hands. Recklessly wielding the long spear might end up injuring yourself."
The black-robed man said with a smile.
"Die!"
The elder gathered momentum, thrusting his spear, piercing into the black-robed man’s chest, his eyes showing pride, just a deluder disturbing one’s mind, only to meet his veteran self, there’s only one way—death.
At that moment, he thought a lot, killing the intruder in front of Yu Huan Shui, hoping to gain considerable favor, perhaps even becoming a direct disciple.
But as he came back to his senses, he found everyone staring at him in astonishment.
"What’s wrong with you all?"
"The thief is decapitated; I thought he was stronger, but couldn’t last three rounds against me!"
"Mr. Yu can rest assured!"
The old man found their reaction peculiar.
"Old... Old Huang..."
"Your long spear... chest..."
Finally, someone couldn’t hold back, stammering.
"What’s with my long spear, isn’t it just stuck in this young man’s chest..."
The elder casually reached out, trying to pull out the spear, but grabbed nothing. There was no black-robed man’s corpse in sight, nor was his long spear anywhere to be found.
Drip!
Drip!
The sound of blood dripping onto the ground stirred his nerves.
It wasn’t until this moment that he seemed to start comprehending what had happened, slowly lowering his head in disbelief...
His chest had been pierced by a long spear... he was the one decapitated, not the black-robed man!
