Chapter 151 – Destruction by Thunder mines
Pond Snow was visibly anxious, but Feng Yao who was standing close to him bore an indifferent look on her face.
Even after seeing that Long Yu was about to face the four men, the expression on her face was still the same.
This gave Pond Snow a slight feeling of relief – didn’t he know who would win under such circumstances?
Pond Snow’s belief was cemented by the past incidents that he had witnessed. Long Yu had defied the heaven’s will many times, so even if he was just a Zhenling 2nd layer expert, he could fight and defeat Deng Shun easily.
But it was not just Deng Shun whom he had to face. All four of these men were of Zhenling 3rd layer and were now approaching to kill him!
Pond Snow had recently experienced a breakthrough from Zhenling 2nd layer to Zhenling 3rd layer, so he could clearly understand the disparity in the strength levels of these two parties.
Even if Long Yu had more refined martial skills and battle weapons that added to his power, still it was impossible to beat four powerhouses of a higher cultivation level at once.
However, Pond Snow was not extremely anxious.
It was Long Yu who had infiltrated the enemy camp and beheaded the Old General Man Yi. Pond Snow believed that even in this adverse situation, Long Yu would come up with a way to escape.
He did not know that at this moment, Long Yu was not thinking of running away!
Long Yu was standing fixed to the place he had stopped at, his eyes showing calmness.
He was clear about the cultivation levels of the people approaching him – he was about to face four people with the same cultivation level as that of Elder Yu Shuiyun.
Earlier, he had always found the people with a cultivation of Zhenling 4th layer to be formidable, but not after he killed two Zhenling 4th layer beasts – the rock rhino beast and the goblin snake beast in the Demon valley, all on his own.
Each of these beasts had a power equivalent to the combined power of the four men who were approaching him.
This boosted Long Yu’s confidence, and this confidence had stemmed from the increase in his internal energy (since he has absorbed the Zhenling entities of two beasts).
As the four men encircled Long Yu, he saw that the bare-chested Deng Shun was wearing a rock belt on his waist, which was a spiritual level battle weapon.
As for the other three people – one of them was holding a pair of hammers in his hands, while the other one had a broken arm and fiery red eyes which made him look sinister.
The third man was wearing a pointed paper hat and looked quite funny. However, Long Yu could sense that this man was far more dangerous than the others.
“These men are really strong.” Long Yu thought to himself.
Deng Shun moved forward as if to speak something, but Long Yu had no interest in being engaged in some idle talk.
Since they had the orders to kill him, Long Yu decided to attack first!
The first one to attack always holds an upper hand in a combat – it was the most irrefutable truth of the martial world.
Long Yu gave a cold look to Deng Shun, and just when he was about to speak something, Long Yu launched numerous spear shadows towards him!
These numerous spear shadows, along with the tyrannical Zhentian domain pressure, traveled towards Deng shun at a tyrannical speed, making his complexion change.
This move made by Long Yu, along with the Zhentian domain, could easily shake even a powerhouse of Zhenling 4th layer!
Deng Sshun had not expected that Long Yu, without uttering a single word, would immediately launch an attack on him and that too with such a tyrannical strength!
This sudden attack stimulated the rock belt on Deng Shun’s waist which made him fly and immediately congealed a rock boulder in front of him in order to protect him from the tremendous power of the spear shadows.
Since it was a spiritual level battle weapon and was owned by a Zhenling 3rd layer expert, its intelligence was very high. And due to this increased power, it successfully shielded him from the attacks of Long Yu!
The very next moment, without giving Long Yu any time to plan for the next attack, the man with the broken arm gave a bloodthirsty look to Long Yu from his fiery red eyes and waved his hands, drawing a blood cross and launching it at Long Yu.
“It is an attack of a Zhenling 3rd layer powerhouse, I must be careful!”
Long Yu’s eyes twinkled as he moved forward to face the attack launched by the red-eyed man instead of dodging it or running away from it. He rushed forward to launch a counterattack, fuelling his martial skills with a strong killing intention!
This made all the people – Deng Shun and his men, Pond Snow and even Feng Yao startle with surprise.
None of them had expected that Long Yu would be able to launch a counterattack and that too so quickly! How could he be so calm while being so outnumbered?
“If I want to face a blood cross, I would need to pull in all my power and martial skills. But younger brother Long Yu intends to resist this blood cross by merely using his body…..”
Pond Snow was stunned!
Feng Yao, who was carrying a composed expression till now, was also left surprised.
It was a long time since she last saw Long Yu displaying his strength. Since then, he had not only enhanced his cultivation level by leaps and bounds but was now far more courageous than ever!
Being just at Zhenling 2nd layer, he was facing the fatal blood cross attack by merely fuelling his body with killing intention – he was simply courting death!
“You want to resist my blood cross with just your body, seems like your life means nothing to you!”
The red eyed man shouted: “Since I have orders from Xinghai Lun, you are going to die anyway.”
As Long Yu heard these words, the blood cross, which was just like a sharp pointed knife, struck him hard and pierced his shoulder.
However, at this time, something happened that shocked everyone!
Just as the blood cross pierced Long Yu’s shoulder, it was destroyed with a loud sound of thunder, and immediately afterwards, it seemed as if a thunder mine erupted!
“Thunder tyrant form, explode!”
Long Yu summoned the Holding Thunder charm and directed it towards the red eyed man. He was soon surrounded by the power of the charm as well as hundreds of thunder mines erupting violently.
No matter which direction the red eyed man was trying to escape to, he would face a massive bombardment of thunder mines from that side. If he stood still where he was, the thunder mines would completely surround and destroy him!
In order to face a Zhenling 3rd layer powerhouse, Long Yu came up with this masterstroke – his thunder charm took care of everything!
“Save me!”
The red eyed man cried out with his heart racing like a fierce horse as he was subjected to the immense destructive power of the thunder mines.
The thunder mines had such a violent power that even a Zhenling 3rd layer expert couldn’t escape from being destroyed!
Although he was fighting against a mere Zhenling 2nd layer boy, still he was compelled to call out to seek help from his comrades.
“I’m coming to help you!”
The man with a pair of hammers darted forward and immediately lifted his hammer high to release a powerful world principle in order to resist Long Yu’s thunder charm.
However, the disparity of the strengths of the charm and the principle was far too high!
The man with the hammers wasn’t aware of the fact that the world principle that he had comprehended was only of Huangshi level which was the lowest power level, while the Holding Thunder charm that Long Yu had comprehended was of Imperial seal level which was two levels higher than Huangshi level!
In this way, the world principle released by the man with the hammers was two levels lower than Long Yu’s.
With the difference of a single level, the strength of a charm was doubled, so naturally these two attacks had an irrecoverable difference between them.
Immediately after its release, not only the world principle was completely destroyed by the thunder charm, but the thunder mines also changed their direction. Now, the thunder mines not only surrounded the red eyed man, but were also directed towards the man who disturbed them – the man with the hammers!
The red eyed man and the man with the hammers completely lost their composure.
It was awful!
The strength of the Holding Thunder charm was so humungous that these two experts of Zhenling 3rd layer, even after combining their strengths, could not resist its attacks!
At some distance, Pond Snow and Feng Yao watched the combat with incredible looks in their eyes – none of them had expected Long Yu to be so efficient in combat, not to mention he was using the power of thunder mines!
Long Yu had left no way for them to escape and was absolutely confident of his battle prowess.
At this moment, Long Yu had killed two people of Zhenling 3rd layer in one go as easily as one would crush an ant!
This phenomenal change in Long Yu’s efficiency made Feng Yao’s heart throb faster.
She realised that although Long Yu’s talent had increased manifold, she still despised him and Long Yu’s strength and potential were really shocking.
No matter what, Long Yu’s efficiency in the combat had left a grave impression on Feng Yao’s heart!
And if Long Yu didn’t die today, this impression would linger on in her heart and prove to be a great hindrance in her path of excelling the world of martial arts!
“This Long Yu must die!”
Feng Yao’s eyes twinkled with an ominous light.
Now that she finally had some hopes of rising in the world of martial arts, she could simply not allow Long Yu, who was once a waste, to surpass her!
With Feng Yao’s eyes flashing fiercely, the man wearing a pointed paper hat suddenly disappeared from the field, and the very next moment, he appeared right behind Long Yu.
“Your heart will stop beating now!”
The hoarse voice of that mysterious man was heard by everyone. He had comprehended a principle, stronger than the conventional martial principles, called the “Magic Principle”.
What was notable was that he had comprehended this Magic Principle to the domain level!
(Mystique: When it comes to the comprehension of world laws, the first level is Mood, the second level is Charm and the third level is Domain)
Once an expert used the Magic Domain, he attained complete control of that area and could even make the opponent’s heart stop immediately!
“It is a principle of mysterious jade level – the magic principle!”
Immediately, Long Yu could feel a cold, mysterious energy seeping through his heart, making his whole body shake fiercely!
But as he had quenched his heart with the thunder mines, the impact of the magic principle was destroyed as soon as it seeped through his heart, which ended up in violent eruption of thunder mines!
Just then, all the movements of the body of the man with the pointed hat came to a sudden halt as he was completely enveloped by the Holding Thunder charm!
The power of the thunder principle was so ferocious that not only did it destroy the cultivation of a martial expert; it even posed a great threat to the soul of that person!
“Lunar mood!”
“Dry marsh mood!”
Long Yu did not display any movements. With all his enemies suppressed by the thunder charm, he released the lunar mood and the dry marsh mood one after another.
The power of endless frost enveloped them completely as they felt trapped in a swamp due to the impact of the dry marsh mood.
They were not even able to face the tyrannical strength of the thunder principle, so being subjected to three principles together made them collapse immediately.
Along with the Zhentian domain, he had used four different principles all at once, which was more than enough to suppress the four Zhenling 3rd layer experts.
(Mystique: 1.Zhentian domain 2. Lunar mood 3. Dry marsh mood 4. Thunder charm)
“Lamella touch, kill!”
Long Yu grabbed his Qian dragon spear and pierced Deng Shun’s chest with it, crushing his heart almost immediately.
This bare-chested Deng Shun had taken the charge to lead an attack on Long Yu, but he was now dead with his heart pierced by the dragon spear.
