Chapter 186 – A difficult situation
Liu Yuan thought that all Wang Yuanchen wanted was to kill Long Yu. She never imagined that while she would launch a sneak attack on him, he would hit her back.
Wang Tiger fist!
At this moment, Wang Yuanchen’s top grade spiritual level martial skill released a terrifying pressure of Wang Tiger domain that spread throughout the Hantan snow valley.
“Die!”
Wang Yuanchen shouted and flashed his eyes as his Wang Tiger fist closed in on Liu Yuan’ face!
“Fight him!”
As Long Yu saw Wang Yuanchen attacking Liu Yuan, he shouted loudly and released his fist containing the power of samsara towards Wang Yuanchen. The next moment, the power of samsara seeped through Wang Yuanchen’s body and caused his cultivation level to drop by one level to Zhenling fourth layer!
The power of his Wang Tiger attack was reduced greatly and his movements were stagnated.
When Liu Yuan heard Long Yu shout, she knew what she had to do.
Fight him!
Liu Yuan released her lunar charm and resisted the Wang Tiger fist.
The next moment, she swayed her red double-edged sword and released several sword shades towards Wang Yuanchen.
The clash of Liu Yuan’s sword shades and Wang Yuanchen’s Wang Tiger fist resulted in a great explosion of energy. However, this time, Liu Yuan didn’t fall back as she was in no way inferior to Wang Yuanchen who had a cultivation level of Zhenling fourth layer.
Since Wang Yuanchen’s cultivation level had dropped, now he was no match to Liu Yuan.
“Phantom allure!”
Liu Yuan didn’t pause for a single moment and launched a top grade spiritual level attack of her Allure sect, phantom allure!
This suppression technique was unique to the disciples of the Allure sect. Although it was one of the most powerful techniques Liu Yuan had, it would fade away soon.
Liu Yuan must attack Wang Yuanchen fast!
Phantom allure attack allowed not only Liu Yuan but also her Black Butterfly (Zhenling entity) to move at a great speed.
Not only this, this attack could make any man fall prey to her attractiveness, and Wang Yuanchen was no different.
Just too tempting!
Liu Yuan, clad in a black dress, with her snow-white hair floating in the wind, was simply too irresistible. Her delicate figure made her seem like she was a dream altogether.
While Wang Yuanchen couldn’t resist being tempted by Liu Yuan, the moment of his death arrived.
Liu Yuan wouldn’t spare him any opportunity to save himself!
However, by that time, Long Yu had consumed all his Xuan qi and was now unable to continue releasing the lunar domain.
Soon afterward, the remaining six bodyguards sensed the pressure lifting up from their bodies.
The lunar domain was no longer there!
“Kill ten thousand people!”
Long Yu swayed his spear in the air, filling the surroundings with terrifying vibrations and managed to kill another bodyguard of Zhenling third layer almost instantly!
Now, only five of the bodyguards were left alive, all belonging to Zhenling third layer.
Watching him kill the old bodyguard and three other bodyguards had scared the remaining bodyguards to death.
“Run for your lives! If we don’t run now he’ll kill us all!”
The five bodyguards called out in alarm and turned around to flee out of the Hantan snow valley.
Had they been in the right state of mind, they would’ve stayed and collaborated against Long Yu, who was completely exhausted now.
However, watching Long Yu kill the most experienced and most powerful of the bodyguards of Wang clan had made them so scared that they thought it would be better to run away rather than facing Long Yu and trying to kill him.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
As the five remaining bodyguards fled the place, Wang Yuanchen, who remained in a kind of trance, was soon killed by Liu Yuan’s sword shade attack.
“I’m going to chase them down!”
Liu Yuan turned around immediately to chase the five bodyguards who had fled.
However, her eyebrows were curled from worry. All the five bodyguards had run into different directions, so it was going to be a difficult task for her to chase each one of them down.
“Go with her!”
Long Yu connected to the spiritual intelligence of his lunar wings and commanded it to carry Liu Yuan and chase the fleeing bodyguards.
With the speed of lightning, the wings flapped and carried Liu Yuan away.
“This is just…!”
Liu Yuan was shocked for a moment, but soon regained her composure and held her red double-edged sword in her hands. Within a few moments, she killed the first bodyguard.
The lunar wings continued to flap themselves and soon overtook the second bodyguard…
After some time, Liu Yuan had killed all the five bodyguards that had escaped with her red double-edged sword. Their blood dripping from the sword was making the red color of the sword seem even brighter.
Since all these people belonged to the Imperial Wang clan, Long Yu and Liu Yuan couldn’t afford to leave any of them alive to run back to the Wang clan and tell the tale to the clansmen, else they would have to face strong retaliation from the entire Wang clan!
Although these people comprised around 50% of the Wang clan’s most powerful warriors, the chief of the Wang clan, Wang Yuanchen’s father, had already entered the realm of Zhenling unity!
(Note: The realm of Zhenling unity has been explained in the next chapter.)
Fuelling his anger would be unwise!
Luckily enough, Long Yu’s lunar wings had developed spiritual intelligence and thus collaborated with Liu Yuan in order to kill the five fleeing bodyguards. This way, no one would find out that it was Long Yu and Liu Yuan who were responsible for the slaughter of so many powerhouses of the Wang clan!
No one would suspect them either since for everyone, they were not capable of killing such a powerful group of people at once.
Even the news of Long Yu comprehending the lunar domain wouldn’t leave the bounds of Hantan valley, let alone the news of Long Yu and Liu Yuan killing the old bodyguard and Wang Yuanchen.
Long Yu’s Dantian throbbed as his Xuan qi level was restored. Soon afterward, he and Liu Yuan began piling up the bodies of Wang Yuanchen, old bodyguard etc. to burn them down.
While dragging the bodies, Long Yu put several battle weapons inside his nine hidden storage space. These battle weapons were worth several thousand crystal coins.
The old bodyguard didn’t possess any valuable weapon, so Long Yu felt a little bad about it.
Wang Yuanchen, on the other hand, did possess a spiritual level battle weapon. However, since he died by getting his throat slit by Liu Yuan, it was clear that his spiritual level battle weapon didn’t show any defensive qualities.
What kind of martial artist was he to get lured by Liu Yuan’s beauty on the battlefield at his level?
He deserved to die like this!
Had Long Yu been in his place, the outcome would’ve been different.
(TL Note: Long Yu was once affected by her allure technique when he used to be at a much lower level than her but he had still managed to snap out of it. But Wang Yuanchen was at a higher level and still fell for the trap.)
Although Liu Yuan was extremely attractive, Long Yu wouldn’t have gotten lured by her while fighting like Wang Yuanchen did.
Just as they gathered all the eleven corpses and put them on fire, clouds started roaring in the sky and a heavy downpour began which extinguished the fire completely.
The roar of the thunder was so fierce that it appeared to them as if the sky was being divided into two halves!
“What’s happening?”
Liu Yuan knitted her eyebrows as she wondered how to get rid of the corpses in such a heavy rain.
The corpses couldn’t be left there. If anyone found them, it would take them absolutely no time to find out who was behind the slaughter of these eleven people.
“I’ll take care of them.”
Long Yu knew what he had to do. The corpses couldn’t be burnt due to the heavy rain. All he could do was to destroy them completely using his thunder charm.
However, there was a problem.
Although the thunder charm was more powerful than any ordinary flame, destroying eleven corpses at once was a tedious task.
Fortunately for him, his xuan qi level restored at a much quicker rate than any ordinary martial artist. By this time, he had accumulated enough xuan qi to release the thunder charm.
“Thunder charm, destroy!”
Long Yu waved his hands to release a tremendously destructive power of the thunder charm over the eleven corpses.
Liu Yuan was bedazzled as she watched Long Yu destroy the corpses. She observed his unique martial skill carefully and noticed that this martial skill was no less powerful than the lunar tablet. In fact, it was far more powerful than the lunar tablet!
Was it another heavenly tablet?
Liu Yuan was confused for a while, but finally, she deduced that the rumors about Long Yu were every bit true. He indeed had entered the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir, and while everyone thought him to be dead, he made out from the reservoir safe and sound.
The power that he displayed just now was undoubtedly the power of the thunder mines!
The thunder charm had destroyed all the eleven corpses in a while. Even the rain couldn’t stop Long Yu from destroying the corpses.
“Such insane power!”
Liu Yuan couldn’t help but exclaim in the appraisal.
Now she knew the extent of Long Yu’s strength. This young man held such humungous amount of strength. Not only did he possess the power of two heavenly tablets, he also had with him a set of top grade spiritual level martial skills along with a top grade spiritual level battle weapon. With so much strength, he could easily kill a martial expert who had a cultivation level of two layers above him!
Long Yu turned his head and was somewhat smitten by Liu Yuan’s graceful appearance.
As she stood with her whole body soaked in the rain, tiny droplets of water dripped through her wet, white hair. For Long Yu, this sight was far more alluring than Liu Yuan’s phantom allure martial skill.
“Let’s get the lunar tablet quickly.”
Liu Yuan didn’t notice Long Yu staring at her as she walked towards the frozen Hantan Lake.
Their practice had abruptly ended while Wang Yuanchen attacked them. Since both of them were busy fighting, they hadn’t taken the lunar tablet out of the frozen lake.
Long Yu snapped out to the reality and immediately followed her.
As they took the lunar tablet out of the frozen lake, to Long Yu’s surprise, the tablet was now smaller in size than it originally had been.
“Why is it smaller in size?”
Long Yu frowned.
However, it was not the first time that he noticed this change. Earlier when he had comprehended the lunar charm, he noticed that his half of the tablet had grown a little smaller in size.
However, now, after comprehending the lunar domain, the lunar tablet had grown significantly smaller in size.
“Well, I have researched a bit about the heavenly tablets growing smaller. As a martial artist continues to comprehend the power of any heavenly tablet, it continues growing smaller and smaller. By the time a martial artist fully comprehends the principle inherent in the heavenly tablet, it completely disappears.”
Liu Yuan nodded as she told Long Yu.
“If both of us try to comprehend the lunar principle simultaneously, the tablet would shrink and disappear before we get to completely comprehend the principle.”
Long Yu continued to frown.
“Why are you never at ease? To comprehend the lunar principle, we would have to enter the realm of unity of heaven and man. That’s still a long way to go…”
Liu Yuan smiled calmly.
“We shouldn’t stay at this place for too long. Let’s get out of here first.”
Long Yu was busy thinking of some way out of this crisis and even thought of taking his half of the lunar tablet and giving Liu Yuan her half so that they could comprehend the lunar principle separately, but the next moment he realized that it was easier said than done.
Since both the halves of the lunar tablet were now infused into one, there was no way to separate them now!
This was a difficult situation.
Who was going to get the lunar tablet?
Liu Yuan? Long Yu?
