Becoming a Saint by Touching Corpses - Chapter 593 - 570: Black King Fungus
Chapter 593: Chapter 570: Black King Fungus
After the banquet, Lou Yi arrived again at the gates of the State Preceptor’s residence in Wanma Country’s capital.
“Mu Yun, come out and fight!”
A clear and resonant voice spread across dozens of miles.
“It’s that young Grandmaster from Qing Country; he’s come again!”
“Damn, he’s too arrogant, does he really think there’s no one in Wanma Country?”
“It’s rumored this man is a descendant of Daoist Qian Yuan…”
The numerous masters in the capital of Wanma Country saw Lou Yi daringly enter the heart of their country alone, disregarding all of them, and couldn’t help but be both shocked and angry.
But no one dared to step forward.
Even the previously invincible State Preceptor was no match; naturally, any others would only be sending themselves to death in numbers.
The historical record proves that a Grandmaster cannot be defeated merely by numerical advantage.
Mu Yun, meanwhile, was inside the residence, sipping tea, with several yellow-edged martial art tomes on the table.
These were renowned ’Divine Skills’ in this world, such as “Blue Sea Listening to Tides Skill” and “River and Sea Heaven and Earth Technique”, any single one found outside would cause bloody chaos.
But with the power and authority of Wanma Country’s State Preceptor, they could only serve as references for his practice.
“Their bodies are extremely tough, I must find a way to break them.”
Since barely escaping with his life after being chased by Lou Yi, Mu Yun developed a Heart Demon.
Whether eating or sleeping, he was constantly pondering how to defeat his opponent.
Now, suddenly hearing Lou Yi’s shout, his face turned completely ashen.
“The brat dares to insult me!”
Though furious, Mu Yun didn’t irrationally rush out but thought quickly about a strategy.
’He clearly doesn’t dare to storm the State Preceptor’s residence; it seems what Master said back then might not be just a legend.
Under the State Preceptor’s residence, Wanma Country’s Dragon Energy is buried, causing a breakout if agitated, and even a Grandmaster would meet instant death…’
’If I don’t go out, it’ll be disgraceful over time.’
’I have a Grandmaster domain, even if I can’t win, I can always retreat back to the residence; he can’t capture me!’
With this thought, Mu Yun was reassured.
“Brat, today I’ll take your head!”
His powerful voice echoed from the State Preceptor’s residence, brightening the faces of Wanma Country’s spectators.
“The State Preceptor is coming out!”
“I said, how could the State Preceptor fear this young punk, last time he must have been ambushed…”
“If the State Preceptor is in danger, we should sacrifice our lives to save him!”
In their view, a figure soared into the sky wearing a yellow robe, crowned with a Golden Crown, exuding a kingly aura; it was Grandmaster Mu Yun.
Mu Yun hovered above, looking down at Lou Yi below.
Extending his left hand, formidable Inner Strength gathered at his palm’s center, emitting brilliant golden light, about to attack the opponent.
He had already devised a tactic; his greatest advantage over Lou Yi was his ability to fly.
In this way, he could completely use a kite-flying strategy to wear down the opponent and look for opportunities.
’Boom, boom, boom!’
As one arm-thick golden light beam shot down at Lou Yi, several large pits quickly appeared on the ground.
Lou Yi had to continuously dodge, not daring to take Mu Yun’s offensive head-on.
Whenever he attempted to close in on Mu Yun, Mu Yun would soar upwards with all his might, increasing the distance from Lou Yi, avoiding direct confrontation.
The exchange quickly extended over a hundred breaths.
Seeing the young man’s increasingly frantic gestures below, even slightly distorted, Mu Yun felt delighted, realizing his planned move was effective!
And the surrounding Wanma Country spectators were also exhilarated, almost wanting to howl to the sky.
“I said the State Preceptor is invincible; how could he lose to an unknown junior?”
“Grandmasters can fly, inherently unbeatable; what does Liu Shu have to win?”
“No, it looks like he’s about to flee!”
In everyone’s eyes, Lou Yi seemingly realized there’s no use continuing the fight, starting to retreat.
Mu Yun was in the heat of the battle, upon seeing this was also urgently in pursuit.
Given enough time, he’d surely exhaust the young man like a kite.
In pursuit and retreat, they left the State Preceptor’s residence, spanning several miles.
Suddenly, Lou Yi halted, turning to face Mu Yun, his gaze calm, unlike his previous panic.
’Not good, it’s a trap!’
Mu Yun was startled but not flustered, turning quickly to retreat.
He saw Lou Yi with a smile on his lips, launching directly into the sky, setting his feet on the void, blocking his front!
“You’ve broken through to Grandmaster?”
Mu Yun was completely disoriented, feeling a chill running from his feet to the top of his head.
Is a Grandmaster as common as cabbage?
Why in merely days did the opponent directly break through?
“Old Mu Yun, you cannot escape.”
A blurry, dim light emerged from Lou Yi’s mind, merging into the surrounding void.
Instantly activating the Grandmaster domain, it collided fiercely towards Mu Yun’s location!
’Boom!’
The Grandmaster domain is inherently formless.
But as soon as the two different domains touched, there was a change at the boundary, splitting into two clearly visible layers of light membranes of different colors.
One layer was golden, and the other was black.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate, neither able to prevail over the other for the moment.
But Lou Yi’s objective had already been achieved, successfully preventing Mu Yun from escaping as the opponent had already fallen into his trap.
“Get out of the way!”
Mu Yun was in a panic, realizing that if the delay continued, he might not be able to leave and so he needed a swift conclusion!
Even if the opponent had comprehended the true essence of Martial Arts, how could he compare to someone like himself who had consolidated it for years?
Thinking of this, Mu Yun steadied his mind and fully controlled his domain, frantically colliding with Lou Yi’s domain.
’Boom!’
’Boom!’
’Boom!’
With each violent collision of the black and golden membranes, a thunderous roar echoed in the void, with a vast amount of light and shadow dispersing to all sides, generating massive air currents, sparks, and even electrical arcs in the surrounding void, creating a grand spectacle.
On the ground below, trees, plants, rocks, and hard soil were all crushed into fine powder.
The grandmaster domains of the two clashed no less than a hundred times, leaving both ’wounded’, with cracks covering the border membranes.
Lou Yi took the opportunity to invade with his own domain, continuously weakening Mu Yun’s control over that space.
Moments later, he formed a narrow passage of his own within Mu Yun’s domain.
The end of the passage was less than ten zhang away from Mu Yun.
Being enveloped by Mu Yun’s domain, the color, shape, and other appearances of that passage manifested clearly in everyone’s eyes, like a black bridge spanning the center between the two.
Then.
Lou Yi raised both his hands high, and in an instant, his entire being was compressed and flattened, enveloped in red light, seemingly transforming into a humanoid sword, exuding an incredibly sharp and fierce aura.
“Body—Transformation—into—Sword.”
The humanoid sword turned into a brilliant beam of rainbow light, shooting out along Lou Yi’s own domain, accelerating.
Its speed continuously increased, quickly breaking through the current limit of eight times the speed of sound, nine times, ten times!
’Buzz!’
Lou Yi practically turned into a real beam of light, with the void constantly trembling wherever he passed, seemingly unable to withstand his terrifying speed.
In a flash, the humanoid rainbow light reached the end of Lou Yi’s expanded domain, less than ten zhang away from Mu Yun.
Easily penetrating the opponent’s domain, it finally collided directly with his body.
“Ah!”
A miserable scream was heard as Mu Yun, blood-drenched, plummeted rapidly from high altitude.
’Bang!’
The ground was blasted into a deep pit, with Mu Yun lying on the ground, most of his chest collapsed, coughing up blood as if there was no tomorrow.
“Lord State Preceptor!”
The martial artists of Wanma Country saw Mu Yun’s dreadful state and were all horrified.
They rushed towards his location, wanting to help up the figure they worshipped as a god.
But Mu Yun lifted a hand, stopping their actions.
He looked towards the young and spirited Lou Yi, who looked no more than in his twenties, and said sorrowfully, “Why don’t you kill me?”
Mu Yun was no fool; he knew Lou Yi had held back moments ago; otherwise, even ten of his lives wouldn’t be enough.
“I want to see if you can pay the ransom to buy back your own life,” Lou Yi said nonchalantly.
The real reason was actually the world’s backlash.
He had just severely injured Mu Yun, the child of fortune of the Qian Yuan world, and could already feel the immense malice gathering above his head, eager to strike at any moment.
What would happen if he truly killed Mu Yun? Lou Yi did not wish to experience it.
“Ransom?” Mu Yun was somewhat stunned, “What do you want?”
He knew that a master like Lou Yi wouldn’t be interested in ordinary gold and silver.
“Those prayer beads you have are nice, I want them,” Lou Yi said.
A flicker of surprise flashed in Mu Yun’s eyes, but he unhesitatingly took off the exquisite string of translucent jade prayer beads from his wrist and tossed them to Lou Yi.
“And what else?”
“Open your Wanma Country’s treasury for me to search properly.”
“Fine!” Mu Yun nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, no treasure was more important than his life.
Soon, the treasury of Wanma Country was completely opened to Lou Yi.
Since he could not kill Mu Yun, Lou Yi also had the mindset to compensate himself, casually rummaging through the treasury.
Gold and silver jewelry, antique paintings, deep-sea blue coral, copper wares from past dynasties, and golden pearls larger than a fist… Lou Yi skipped over them all as if they were trash.
Suddenly, he saw a large cyan porcelain bottle filled with black liquid, half the height of a person, with something seemingly swimming inside.
Upon sensing the person approaching, it suddenly quieted down, but small bubbles continued to rise on the surface of the liquid.
“Hmm?”
The grandmaster domain covered the area, and Lou Yi reached out to grab from thin air.
A black, slippery object like a piece of rotten sludge instantly appeared in his hand.
Simultaneously, on the Attribute Panel, a certain talent began to flash intensely.
“Black Disaster?” Lou Yi seeing this, was inwardly pleased.
…
