Chapter 238 - Yu Shangrong’s Attitude
Chapter 238 Yu Shangrong’s Attitude
The Expansive Heavenly Energy surprised Mingshi Yin as well. However, he was prepared to defend against it. He had expected one of the Nether Sect’s Four Great Protectors, a Seven-leaf expert, to have a trick or two up his sleeve. He flipped in the air and stabilized his footing after skidding a few hundred meters away. Even then, the Expansive Heavenly Energy made his Qi and blood surge. He felt numb all over. If he had been caught off-guard, he would have been injured. He hovered in the air as he stared at Bai Yuqing
At this moment, Bai Yuqing had already recalled his avatar.
The entire place was silent. Bai Yuqing did not feel any sense of achievement just because he bested Mingshi Yin. Instead, he was shocked. He had yet to properly gauge Mingshi Yin’s strength, making him feel as though Mingshi Yin was holding back. Although there was no doubt he could defeat his opponent, he was still surprised. It seemed like there was a valid reason why everyone, in general, feared the Evil Sky Pavilion. It seemed like the rumor about Evil Sky Pavilion being able to dominate the outside world was not baseless.
“Thank you for letting me win.” Bai Yuqing cupped his fists humbly.
“Old Seventh, I’ve truly underestimated you. I didn’t expect you to have found such a helper,” Mingshi Yin said as he hovered in the air.
Si Wuya said, “Fourth Senior Brother, why do you have to do this?”
“Seventh Junior Brother, why do you have to do this?”
“It’s meaningless to say anything else… Fourth Senior Brother, please return. Please convey my message to master. Tell him I’m doing well and that Eldest Senior Brother and I won’t take this to heart,” Si Wuya said.
“You bast*rd!” Mingshi Yin cursed, “The audacity! How dare you speak in such a manner to master? You’re a disgrace!” He turned to look at Bai Yuqing and said in a deep voice, “I advise you to stay out of this. Get lost.” The soundwave rolled toward Bai Yuqing before it dissipated several meters before Bai Yuqing.
Bai Yuqing shook his head helplessly and said, “Since you’re being stubborn, Mister Fourth, I have no choice but to do this.”
Whizz!
His 70-foot avatar appeared again. It towered over the surroundings. Primal Qi from the surroundings gathered toward it swiftly.
Mingshi Yin frowned. He looked at the avatar with slight contempt. He had hidden his identity as he conducted his investigation recently. He followed his leads all the way to Yellow Peak Mountain and successfully found Si Wuya. He felt as though all his efforts were going to waste because of Bai Yuqing. He was truly unresigned.
Mingshi Yin hovered in midair as energy swirled around him.
Bai Yuqing pushed away from the roof and shot toward the heavens with his avatar.
Mingshi Yin felt a peculiar pressure coming at him, and he retreated swiftly.
Bai Yuqing did not seem to be holding back as he shot toward Mingshi Yin with his avatar like a fired arrow.
The most effective way to crush one’s opponent was to utilize the difference in one’s cultivation base. Back then, the Righteous Sect’s Elder Zhang Chunlai had used this very method to break Zhu Honggong’s Octagon Formation. Petty tricks were meaningless before an avatar.
Si Wuya looked at the scene in the skies, slightly shocked.
Bai Yu Qing’s back was straight as he moved, and his avatar maintained the same posture as him.
Si Wuya muttered softly, “Eldest Senior Brother, is this truly your will?”
Mingshi Yin retreated again…
The avatar was moving too quickly.
The Darknet members could not help but gape as they looked at the Nether Sect elite’s shocking technique.
‘The Evil Sky Pavilion’s Mister Fourth is going to have a tough time.’
At the end of the day, Mingshi Yin was an Evil Sky Pavilion disciple. How could his pride bear being suppressed by an elite?
The others shook their heads and sighed.
The instant Bai Yuqing and his avatar were upon Mingshi Yin, three green figures suddenly appeared before Bai Yuqing.
“Hm?” Bai Yuqing and his avatar paused in the air.
The three figures slowly turned into two like the reflection a person would see in the water. The person wore a green robe and had long flowing hair. The person hovered in the air with his arms crossed. The sword on his back was buzzing and vibrating.
At this moment, Bai Yuqing’s avatar stopped moving completely. It could not move forward at all. He closed his eyes before opening them again. The two figures were now one!
The sword carried by the green-robed swordsman unsheathed itself and flew out with a whoosh!
Upon seeing this, Bai Yuqing’s heart sank. A terrifying name surfaced in his mind. ‘Yu Shangrong’.
The Longevity Sword shone dazzlingly. Like a firework, it formed a fan-shaped arc as it sliced at Bai Yuqing’s avatar.
Swoosh!
The speed of the sword was extremely shocking.
As soon as the avatar was sliced in half, it dissipated in the air. Meanwhile, Bai Yuqing started before he fell. As he fell from the sky, he spat out a mouthful of blood. When one’s avatar was destroyed, it was the same as being dealt a heavy blow. This slice would render him bedridden for half a year.
Bai Yuqing’s eyes widened as he looked at the green-robed swordsman who hovered in the air with his arms crossed.
The green-robed swordsman was smiling. His long hair fluttered in the wind as the scarlet Longevity Sword returned to its scabbard.
Bai Yuqing continued to fall. The instant he was about to hit the ground, he suddenly struck at the air and did a 180-degree flip. When he finally landed on his knees, he supported his weight by placing a hand on the ground. He panted heavily as he maintained his posture, too afraid to move or lift his head. He knew who the newcomer was. The green-robes swordsman was none other than the Evil Sky Pavilion’s second disciple, Yu Shangrong. Soon after, he spat out another mouthful of blood that stained the back of his hands. The color of his blood was crimson like a red plum blossom.
Mingshi Yin who was hovering in the air was thoroughly shocked as he stared at Yu Shangrong, his Second Senior Brother, in confusion. He did not know if he should thank his Second Senior Brother. His Second Senior Brother had helped him by unleashing that sword skill, but his Second Senior Brother was also one of the Evil Sky Pavilion’s traitors.
Si Wuya was exceptionally calm. On the other hand, his subordinates on Yellow Peak Mountain were cowering in fear.
The world fell silent.
In the end, Si Wuya was the one who broke the silence. “Greetings, Second Senior Brother.”
The others bowed as well. “Greetings, Mister Second.”
Yu Shangrong smiled amiably. He waved his hand and said, “You can dispense with the formalities.”
The others felt relieved. Yu Shangrong’s attitude surprised many of them. He did not seem like a villain who would commit wicked deeds. He was clearly a gentle, polite, and humble man.
Meanwhile, Mingshi Yin was struggling with himself at this moment. He was still debating if he should thank Yu Shangrong. ‘Ptooey, why should I thank him? Although he helped me, a traitor is still a traitor!’ He did not think Yu Shangrong would do anything to him. After all, he had his master’s support, and he knew what kind of person his Second Senior Brother was.
Yu Shangrong did not turn around. Instead, he tilted his head slightly and smiled gently as he asked, “Fourth Junior Brother, are you hurt?”
“Huh? No… No… Thank you for your help, Second Senior Brother,” Mingshi Yin said.
