Meanwhile, Du Penghui, who was in the middle of a battle with Elder Lu, also felt Tang Yi’s aura.
At this moment, Du Penghui’s heart wasn’t in the fight with Elder Lu. He casually fended off the elder while glancing from time to time in Tang Yi’s direction, looking extremely nervous and shocked.
He could feel an aura of destruction emanating from Tang Yi—an aura that was terrifyingly powerful.
Du Penghui felt that if he were struck by this aura, he would most likely be annihilated!
Moreover, ’this powerful aura is still growing stronger?’
It rose from the level of a Three-star Battle King to a Four-star Battle King, then to a Five-star Battle King, a Six-star Battle King, a Seven-Star Battle King... It kept rising until it reached the level of a Battle Emperor, and even then, it continued to climb higher with each passing moment!
In the sky, countless streams of unknown Energy were forming a vortex, frantically converging on the young Martial Artist and making him appear even more powerful.
’What is this...’
’What is that young Martial Artist doing!?’
’What kind of Martial Technique is this?’
Even though Du Penghui was a Battle Emperor Powerhouse of immense strength, right now, he felt fear!
That’s right—it was fear. The fear of death.
A voice in Du Penghui’s head was screaming at him, ’You have to stop that young Martial Artist! You must stop him! Otherwise, your very life will be threatened!’
Heeding his own warnings, Du Penghui hesitated no longer. He blasted two palm strikes at Elder Lu, knocking him back. Ignoring the elder, he shot directly toward Tang Yi.
The threat came from Tang Yi, so he had to eliminate its source.
"Hmph! I won’t let you pass!"
Seeing Du Penghui try to get around him, Elder Lu instantly understood his intentions. With a flash of movement, he once again blocked Du Penghui’s path, preventing him from charging toward Tang Yi.
At the same time, Elder Lu spared a glance for Tang Yi. Feeling the terrifying aura radiating from the young man, his heart swelled with excitement.
He couldn’t help but think, ’Has it begun? So this is your trump card? Excellent. This is it. This is that feeling of immense power.’
"Get out of my way!"
Seeing his path blocked, Du Penghui roared with impatience and threw a punch straight at Elder Lu’s face.
"You tell me to move, and I’m supposed to obey? Says who?"
But Elder Lu dodged to the left and shot back a counter-punch without the slightest hesitation.
The two exchanged several more blows.
For the moment, Du Penghui found himself truly pinned down by Elder Lu, unable to break away.
Du Penghui was frantic. It was obvious to anyone that Tang Yi was channeling an incredibly powerful Martial Technique—one that could very likely threaten, or even kill, a Battle Emperor Martial Artist.
Therefore, Du Penghui was desperate to get to Tang Yi and eliminate this problem before he could unleash the Martial Technique.
Otherwise, if Tang Yi was allowed to unleash that technique, the consequences would be unthinkable.
But Elder Lu was being infuriatingly persistent. He kept blocking Du Penghui’s path, forcing him into a fight.
"You forced my hand!"
"Celestial Spin Storm!"
Finally, Du Penghui gritted his teeth. Throwing caution to the wind, he once again unleashed that incredibly powerful Martial Technique—the very one that had injured Elder Lu before.
Du Penghui stretched out his hand, and a surge of black Energy instantly gushed forth. He then molded it with both hands, shaping the Energy into a black sphere.
CRACKLE.
As soon as the sphere formed, arcs of lightning shot out from it, a terrifying sight to behold.
The sphere also emanated a wicked aura. Just sensing it was enough to send a chill down one’s spine and cause them to tremble uncontrollably.
Du Penghui thrust the bizarre sphere forward, sending it flying toward Elder Lu.
Normally, Du Penghui shouldn’t have been able to use this move twice in such a short time. Doing so would overdraw his Power and negatively impact his future training.
But Du Penghui couldn’t afford to care about that now.
Seeing Tang Yi’s aura become stronger and more terrifying by the second, he knew that if he didn’t act now, his very Life would be threatened in the next moment.
’Compared to death, what is overdrawing my Power? What is hindering my future training?’
’If I don’t give it my all now, should I wait until I’m dead?’
When Elder Lu saw Du Penghui unleash that bizarre black sphere once more, his face went pale with horror. He had suffered terribly under this technique before and had nearly been sent to the Yellow Springs.
The memory of facing this bizarre black sphere still filled Elder Lu with lingering fear. Seeing it rushing toward him once more, how could he not be terrified?
Before he could even think, his body reacted instinctively to the terror of the black sphere. His feet shifted, preparing to flee from its attack range.
But...
’I can’t run!’
Elder Lu forced his body to a halt, refusing to let fear take control.
Tang Yi was right behind him. If he fled, the black sphere would smash directly into Tang Yi and kill him.
Then the plan they had carefully laid out would all be for nothing.
And if Tang Yi died, everyone else present would likely die along with him.
Of course, the people from the West Mansion were already preparing to flee, and some might escape. But most of them—the vast majority—would surely be hunted down and killed by the gold-masked Battle Emperor Powerhouse.
With these thoughts in mind, no matter how frightened or terrified he was, Elder Lu would not flee!
Gazing at the terrifying black sphere flying toward him, Elder Lu’s expression turned to one of grim resolve.
’I’ll risk it all!’
’That’s right, I have to risk everything!’
’Tang Yi, I hope your Martial Technique can truly kill that gold-masked Battle Emperor Martial Artist.’
Elder Lu muttered a prayer in his heart. Then, he decisively turned to face the bizarre black sphere and unleashed his most practiced and powerful Martial Technique.
"Nine Heaven Seals!"
WHOOSH!
Elder Lu formed a Square Seal in his hand and sent it flying out to meet the bizarre black sphere.
This Square Seal was flawlessly white and crystal clear. Intricate, mysterious patterns were carved upon its surface. At its base were three large, legible words: Nine Heavens, Jiuyue.
As Elder Lu sent the Square Seal flying, the three words "Nine Heavens, Jiuyue" also lit up, emitting rays of golden light and looking incredibly Divine.
After launching the Square Seal, Elder Lu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body growing terribly weak. It was clear that by overdrawing his Power to execute the Martial Technique, he had aggravated his unhealed injuries.
However, he had finally managed to unleash his Martial Technique. He didn’t care if he was left enfeebled.
And just like that, one Divine and one dark—two completely different types of Energy—collided in an instant.
