He didn’t even know the man, yet he was suddenly under attack for no reason; if that wasn’t madness, what was?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people are just bloodthirsty madmen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Youlin’s face was covered with a smile, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He indeed relished in killing, and the stronger and more difficult to kill his opponent was, the more thrilled he became.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a push off his feet, using the faint resilience of the lake water, he charged towards Shi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come on!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh, Ma Youlin lunged with his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao similarly channeled the Water Element, condensing frost in his left hand, and laid down a layer of forceful energy for double protection before he punched directly towards the long sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Youlin revealed a cold smile, taking the challenge head-on. Wasn’t this just seeking death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sword was exceedingly sharp, sure to cut one’s hand off with a single blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang, Shi Hao’s punch struck the tip of the sword. The Power of Ice counteracted each other, and the ensuing clash between sword tip and fist actually sparked a flash of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Youlin couldn’t help but be surprised. Was your fist made of fine iron? How could it be so hard?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could even finish the thought, Shi Hao was already swinging his right fist, throwing a heavy punch his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hastily raised his fist to meet the attack, as he clearly saw the water waves driven by an invisible force, forming a fist to strike at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of attack was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Force?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible, how could a mere Soul Nurturing stage release Dark Force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand, but the bloodlust had been fully activated, making him even more excited and attacking Shi Hao like a madman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two exchanges, Shi Hao had already figured out that the other was a second-stage Soul Nurturing martial artist, much stronger than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Battling underwater, his Dark Force became “visible” force. Though he could still strike out to a distance of seven feet and was incredibly agile, it was no longer shadowless and formless, capable of killing unexpectedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the water flow greatly affected the attacks, severely distorting the techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an even more critical situation: none of them were fish, and they had a limited time they could hold their breath!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Youlin seemed to have guessed Shi Hao’s thoughts. He took out a small pill and tossed it into his mouth, and bizarrely, many bubbles started emerging from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao immediately realized that kind of pill could replenish air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The opponent deliberately showed him that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have an air supply but you don’t, how flustered are you now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was indeed a cruel man, not only wanting to kill but to also destroy the spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Youlin wasn’t in a hurry to strike; he had just caught a fresh breath and could definitely last longer than Shi Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Shi Hao turned and dived swiftly downwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Youlin quickly gave chase. In his heart, Shi Hao had already become his prey that he was determined to capture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pursued hastily, thrusting with his sword to create trouble for Shi Hao, trapping him there to suffocate to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao turned sharply around, this time not holding anything back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight Extremes Fist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A punch roared out, Dark Force released, once again forming a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Youlin sneered. He had already discerned Shi Hao’s strength, merely mid-stage Soul Nurturing, but he had no idea what method Shi Hao had managed to master to project his power so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial artists, although they can project their strength outward, are limited to their skin, known as forceful energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Shi Hao to blast out six or seven feet, it was like something out of a fantasy tale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this only made him more eager to kill Shi Hao, yearning for the moment when his blade would slice through Shi Hao’s skin and the blood would pour out profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his desires, he still threw a punch to block, not daring to allow the invisible punch to really hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving this punch, he couldn’t help but his face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How had the opponent’s strength increased so much?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish the thought, Shi Hao’s fists erupted with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Ma Youlin witnessed a spectacular scene, only to see fists made of water streaming towards him, assaulting him from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How was he supposed to block that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was on land, he could have leaped away, but in the water, his speed was practically useless. How could he manage to exhibit it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no choice but to curl up as much as possible to protect his vital areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang, bang, bang, he was hit repeatedly, feeling agonizing pain from the horrific blows, and several of his ribs were blasted, involuntarily loosening his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This naturally made things worse as more fists hit his vital areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Youlin felt death closing in and desperately tried to float upward, but just as he rose a few feet, he felt a pain in his lower abdomen and immediately a dark red cloud spread out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was horrified to find that his stomach had been blasted open, with his intestines and all spilling out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out to push his organs back into his belly, but his hands grew increasingly weak, and with a bang, he was swept away by the current, dragged toward the center of the vortex, then flung out entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh, his body drew an arc in the air and then crashed heavily to the bottom of the lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lakebed was paved with blue stone bricks, incredibly hard, and with a sharp impact, he struck it hard, his bones instantly breaking in more than half, his mouth furiously spewing blood, his fingers twitching faintly, but his eyes were dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao withdrew his fists; feeling nearly suffocated from the intense battle, he hurriedly accelerated away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he was about thirty feet from the lakebed, Shi Hao no longer dived but let the water carry him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang, he burst through the water’s surface, immediately gasping for air, then twisted in mid-air, landing heavily on the ground, causing it to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, he’d better rush to practice “Soul Nurturing” and a movement technique quickly, then he’d have many ways to dissipate impact forces and gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Hao glanced at Ma Youlin, who was on his last breath, glaring at him with resentful eyes, but unable to utter a word, just spurting blood from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not feel a shred of pity; to sympathize with someone who wanted to kill him would be foolish, wouldn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He entered the under-lake passage without any reluctance and left swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a moment later, bang, bang, bang, bang, four people burst from the water, moving rapidly while still fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shixuan, Ma Youfu, Zong Hehua, Chang Tianyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thrilling! Thrilling!” Ma Youfu laughed loudly, his eyes bloodshot, looking like a madman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Shixuan and the other two, however, had slightly furrowed brows, appearing quite upset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Ma Youfu who had suddenly attacked them, dragging each of them into battle and triggering a melee, which had greatly reduced their speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, with their strength, they were definitely the first four to have arrived here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?” Ma Youfu’s gaze swept across and he immediately saw Ma Youlin’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the disfigurement, he recognized it at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this was his younger brother!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Youlin!” he rushed over, “Who was it? Who did this to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ma Youlin was already dead, how could he answer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Youfu cradled his brother, looking back at Liu Shixuan and the others, his eyes filled with madness and murderous intent.\u003C\u002Fp>",1314,"2026-06-09T05:58:40.741Z",1,"novelbin.me","d16e68bc67f76e3e9f3936004cc66ac4df51470dcb670679bad0a3095108bd17","asura-emperor-venerable-chapter-125","asura-emperor-venerable-chapter-123",1662,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fasura-emperor-venerable-cover.jpg"]
