Chapter 27: Ming Tianqi, Die!

Ming Tianqi stood with arms folded, looking down at Lu Tianyu with a sidelong glance.

But the next instant his face changed drastically: "How dare you strike at me!"

Whoosh!

A long spear, carrying ferocious force, thrust toward the sole of Ming Tianqi's foot.

Wherever it passed, the air burst apart, emitting a sharp sonic boom.

Ming Tianqi's reaction was fast.

A blood-colored long saber appeared in his hand; he swung the blade down to cleave.

Clang!

Accompanied by the clash of metal, a tremendous force hurled him, saber and all, into the air, and only after five or six zhang did he come to a stop.

Ming Tianqi steadied himself: "Brat, you won't take the wine of respect but must take the wine of punishment!"

"I'll chop you into a human pig!"

Black qi rose all over his body, and a chilling aura erupted in an instant: "I'll use this blood saber to drink every drop of your blood!"

Gripping the saber with both hands, he brought it down on Lu Tianyu's head: "Die!"

Layer upon layer of afterimages; the blood saber carved out a blood-colored phantom arc.

Lu Tianyu withdrew his long spear and said coldly: "Strike?"

"I'm going to kill you too! The one who sent an ambush against me was you, wasn't it?"

"I searched everywhere for you and couldn't find you, yet you came to my door to deliver your death — exactly what I wanted!"

He swung his long spear in an upward flick.

Ferocious qi surged along the spear, black radiance swirling around it.

Clang!

Blood saber and long spear collided.

Ming Tianqi was once again blasted back a zhang or two, his eyes filled with horror: "How could your strength possibly be this great!"

If the first strike had caught him off guard, this time he had used seventy percent of his power.

Yet he was still blasted away, his arm actually going numb, a dull ache throbbing at the tiger's mouth of his palm.

He had observed earlier and knew Lu Tianyu was a Body Refiner, and instantly felt contempt welling in his heart, secretly mocking the Three Heroes of Bahuang as trash.

But when it was his turn to strike, he realized just how fierce and domineering Lu Tianyu's strength truly was.

However, what made Ming Tianqi formidable was his spell attacks, not raw power.

He gave a cold snort: "What's the use of having nothing but brute strength?"

"That's right, last time I sent people to kill you — so what? Someone like you shouldn't be alive in this world."

"You were lucky to pick up your life once; this time you will die without a doubt!"

Ming Tianqi simply sheathed his blood saber, his hands forming complex hand seals: "I'll cripple you first, then defile your woman right in front of you, let you get an eyeful!"

"I'll flay your tendons and refine your soul, make you suffer unbearably for forty-nine days, and then kill you!"

He had never been this furious before — a worthless little bug had actually managed to wound him.

Absolutely intolerable.

Wooooo~

As his hands danced, a skull wreathed in black qi let out an eerie, hair-raising shriek and shot toward the top of Lu Tianyu's head.

Hum!

A killing intent erupted from Lu Tianyu: "It really was you!"

"The one who dies today will definitely be you!"

Hum!

Golden light flickered on his fist as he slammed it into the skull.

Boom!

With a thunderous explosion, the skull instantly shattered into nothingness.

Ming Tianqi gave a surprised "Eh?": "Your qi is somewhat interesting, but let's see how many times you can block it!"

Hum!

The aura around him surged once more.

A skull twice the size of the previous one rapidly condensed and shot toward Lu Tianyu.

Then a second, a third......

Lu Tianyu shattered them one after another without the slightest effort, scoffing: "Did you not drink your mother's milk today? Your spell attacks don't even have as much force as a child's fists!"

"At this rate we could fight for another ten thousand years without a winner — why don't you come down and let me smash you to death with one punch?"

Ming Tianqi's heart was filled with shock: "You!"

"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

Swish!

Ming Tianqi landed opposite Lu Tianyu, raised his hands, and covered his eyes with his five fingers.

After roughly three breaths, he suddenly pulled his fingers away.

From his pitch-black eyes, rings of bizarre runes suddenly shot forth, blasting straight toward Lu Tianyu's eyes.

Tianqi Eye!

Having been thwarted by Lu Tianyu time and again, he could endure no more and resolved to use his ultimate technique to kill Lu Tianyu outright.

The instant Ming Tianqi opened his eyes, Lu Tianyu felt something unknown rushing toward his own eyes.

The sounds of wailing ghosts and howling wolves poured into his ears.

His divine soul seemed to freeze in an instant, and his body spun along with the pitch-black halo.

Subconsciously, Lu Tianyu habitually raised his hand to block.

He thought, "This is bad—Ming Tianqi's Tianqi Eye has actually activated."

The Tianqi Eye is an evil eye that can control and shatter a person's divine soul!

Ming Tianqi was overjoyed at the sight: "The kid is done for!"

But the next second, his eyes went wide.

He saw a miniature phoenix in Lu Tianyu's palm suddenly light up, shooting out a dazzling red beam.

Accompanied by the clear, ringing cry of a phoenix.

Boom!

Ming Tianqi's eyes burst apart instantly, his head exploded with a boom, and then he knew nothing.

Lu Tianyu broke out in a cold sweat, looked down at the Fenghuang Yinjie in his palm, and said, "You saved me again!"

In his mind, that pale pink, enchantingly beautiful figure appeared once more, smiling gracefully at him.

"Young Master, what's wrong!"

A sharp shout cut off Lu Tianyu's thoughts.

He saw a black-robed elder standing beside Ming Tianqi, shaking Ming Tianqi's body.

He swiftly placed a glittering golden pill into Ming Tianqi's mouth, and the Spiritual Energy from his palm flowed ceaselessly into Ming Tianqi's body.

But it was already too late.

Ming Tianqi's two eyeballs were gone, and the vitality on his body rapidly dissipated!

Swish, swish!

Black shadows flickered.

Two gaunt black-robed elders suddenly appeared before Lu Tianyu and roared, "Kid, go to hell!"

Two withered, skeleton-like palms, glowing with an oily green light, struck straight at Lu Tianyu's face.

The two were precisely Ming Tianqi's trump card—the Two Elders of Xuanming.

Seeing Lu Tianyu take the hit, they thought he was dead for sure.

They never expected the one to die would actually be Ming Tianqi!

It happened so suddenly that even if they had tried to save him, they wouldn't have made it in time.

Lu Jiuyuan and Luo Yunshang turned pale with shock at the sight: "Yu'er, quickly use the Xuxu Mirror!"

As they spoke, the two executed the Yin-Yang Combined Attack Technique, attacking the Two Elders of Xuanming from the air.

Lu Tianyu raised his hand without hesitation to block with the Xuxu Mirror.

Hum!

A dazzling white light shone on the Xuxu Mirror.

Two grey palm prints shot out in an instant, meeting the palms of the Two Elders of Xuanming.

With two booming explosions, all four palm prints dissipated at once.

The Two Elders of Xuanming were briefly stunned, then said coldly, "So you sealed the attack—but you still have to die!"

The two figures flickered and attacked again.

Just then, Lu Jiuyuan and his wife arrived: "Your opponents are us!"

A radiant light flickered over the two as they formed hand seals.

Roar!

A tiger's howl.

A massive white tiger condensed into form and charged at the Two Elders of Xuanming.

The Two Elders of Xuanming snorted: "A petty trick! We'll kill you first, then kill that boy!"

A ghostly green light flickered over the two.

The white tiger struck the ghostly light with a boom, then dissipated on the spot.

Lu Jiuyuan and his wife turned pale with shock: "You are the Two Elders of Xuanming!"

The Two Elders of Xuanming snorted: "Since you know, then go die!"

As they spoke, the two leapt into the air and formed hand seals.

Amid wails of ghosts and howls of wolves, two enormous ghastly-white skeleton hands descended from the sky, pressing down on Lu Jiuyuan and his wife.

Lu Jiuyuan and his wife felt an immense pressure and resisted with all their might, shouting at the same time: "Yu'er, run!"

Lu Tianyu roared: "Bahuang Laozu, show yourself now!"
