Chapter 129 – Counterattack
“This spider’s fire silk attack can instantly turn people to ashes.”
Long Yu had a cold feeling in his heart. He knew that this was a crucial moment of life and death and carelessness would end up being deadly for him!
The fire silk net occupied the entire sky and even if Long Yu used dragon prance right now, he would still be unable to escape from its range. Not to mention, the gaps in the fire net weren’t wide enough to give him a way out.
His only option was to go all out!
“Zhentian Sun, suppression!”
Zhentian Sun emerged behind him and its sunlight shone all around and invoked enormous Zhentian coercion in the vicinity!
Long Yu saw that under the effect of enormous coercion, the wrapping speed of those silk flames decreased considerably.
“Nine Hidden Dragon Fist, Awakening palm samsara!”
Long Yu blasted his punch and a bright light flashed in his eyes!
The terrifying power of samsara (reincarnation) suddenly enveloped entire body of Huo Fu and infiltrated his samsara cycle, churning the flow of Xuan qi within his meridians.
“What is this?”
Huo Fu’s complexion suddenly paled when he felt an incredible strength contained in Long Yu’s punch. What kind of martial skill was this?
He felt his own cultivation level suddenly drop down from Zhenling second layer to the first layer!
His heart suddenly trembled when the circulation of Xuan qi was suddenly disrupted because of a sudden drop in his cultivation level, and as a result of that, he couldn’t control the spider’s fire silk attack properly, giving a golden chance to Long Yu to counterattack.
“Kill Ten Thousand People!”
Long Yu swept his dragon spear and instantly released a rich killing intention that spread around and scattered the net of fire in all directions.
“Now you, like me, are just at Zhenling first layer.”
Long Yu’s eyes flashed like the edge of a sharp sword and he quickly went toward Huo Fu: “Being a shameless polemic soldier, you are inferior to me! Even as a martial artist, you are inferior to me! When it comes to the comprehension of world laws, you are inferior to me! Then how do you plan to kill me?!”
Nine Hidden Dragon Fist, Intoxicated Hell!
At this time when Huo Fu was panic-stricken after having lost one level in his cultivation, Long Yu took advantage of this opportunity to completely rout the spider’s fire silk attack by using the intoxicated hell attack to paralyze him and also to fully stop the circulation of Xuan qi.
“Nine Hidden Dragon stream burst, now die!”
Long Yu pounded his fist on the snow-covered ground, and suddenly, a fountain of nine hidden dragon qi gushed out of the ground and enveloped Huo Fu.
Huo Fu, a powerhouse of Zhenling second layer, instantly died a brutal death!
Long Yu only used three successive attacks, all linked with nine hidden dragon, to kill Huo Fu without putting much effort.
Long Yu was only at the beginner level of Awakening Palm Samsara, but even so, its effect was astonishing and very effective to catch an opponent off guard!
Even at the point of death, Huo Fu was confused as to how did his cultivation decrease by one level? Long Yu was truly practicing a rather dreadful martial skill!
However, before he could reach a conclusion, the nine hidden dragon qi invaded his body and corroded him from outside and within, turning him into a dried-up corpse!
Huo Fu never thought that in just an instant, the situation would reverse so drastically and against him.
Both Ge Cheng and Lucci Wind saw this horrible scene and were terrified.
This Long Yu was obviously at Zhenling first layer then how could he so easily kill an expert who was one level above him?
Moreover, Huo Fu obviously used spider’s fire silk that was supposed to be a spiritual level top grade martial skill but even that failed to overpower Long Yu!
This totally demoralized Ge Cheng and Lucci Wind as none of them seemed to have a fighting spirit left inside of them.
“Brother Long, good job.”
Bu Xing laughed. He really was not mistaken about Long Yu being capable enough to deal with Huo Fu!
That being the case, he could not fall behind and must kill his enemies as soon as possible to save his face in front of Long Yu.
“Kill them!”
Bu Xing’s eagle spirit gave out a sharp cry, followed by a burst of Zhentian influence that suddenly dropped coercion upon Ge Cheng and Lucci Wind and put them under a suppression effect.
“Hurry up, let’s get out of here!”
Ge Cheng and Lucci Wind looked at each other and knew that they did not have enough time to escape from there.
Both of them displayed their full might to resist the coercion from Zhentian influence and immediately ran out of the small snow valley.
However, at this time, a large number of troops appeared at the entrance of the small snow valley.
“Kill those two assistant generals of Mongolia army!”
A cold voice sounded all of a sudden like an absolute command, followed by a burst of killing intention that instantly enveloped Ge Cheng and Lucci Wind.
They wanted to escape but never thought that so many people would suddenly appear at the entrance of the small valley and block their path.
In a blink of an eye, the two assistant generals were butchered and the snow-covered ground was dyed red by their blood!
In the small valley, both Long Yu and Bu Xing turned their heads at the same time and were surprised to find out that the man who gave the order just now was none other than Major General Long Ji!
At this time, Long Ji was wearing a golden armor and his whole body was exuding a very cold yet invincible aura as he was standing near the corpses of Ge Cheng and Lucci Wind.
His eyes swept through the entire valley and first stopped at Long Yu then at Huo Fu’s corpse that was lying on the ground, not far from Long Yu.
“Long Yu, you colluded with Mongolian assistant generals and killed the heir of Fire Temple. It’s a punishable crime and you better trust me on this that there will be no amnesty for you.”
Long Ji snorted and made his judgment openly in front of everyone!
Bu Xing’s complexion changed when he heard this. However, Long Yu was unaffected by this and seemed to have already known that this was going to happen.
“Major General, it is actually Huo Fu who colluded with Mongolian State!”
Bu Xing stood in front of Long Yu to defend him and said in a stern voice.
He knew that Long Ji was trying to frame Long Yu and would use this opportunity to attack and kill Long Yu!
There was a big chance that this whole series of events was part of a plot to get rid of Long Yu!
A conspiracy to kill Long Yu!
“Who is the commander here, you or me?”
Long Ji looked coldly at Bu Xing and said while waving his hand: “Senior General Yan Shan, what do you think? Don’t you feel that this is truly outrageous? Long Yu has followed the footsteps of his father who was also a traitor despite being a general of Tang State. I feel the need to behead this traitor and do justice to the people of our country who lost a genius like Huo Fu, today.”
“I totally agree with you, Major General! This Long Yu must be executed.”
The bald senior general replied in a respectful manner! The fox-eyed senior general also nodded to show that he was in support of this verdict.
The two senior generals were the ones who killed the two assistant generals of Mongolian army! The bald one was named Yan Shan and the fox-eyed was named Ma Shili.
“You have committed treason, so death is the only valid punishment for you.”
Long Ji sneered and looked viciously at Long Yu. His golden armor was reflecting a beautiful golden shadow on white snow, making him seem very powerful and extraordinary.
He took one step toward Long Yu when Bu Xing suddenly reacted.
“Major General, I have evidence to prove that Huo Fu is the one who colluded with Mongolian State, not Long Yu.”
Bu Xing said in a cold voice.
When he first arrived in this small valley, he had sensed that something was fishy so he had quietly pinched Zhenling imprinting skill to record the entire scene for future use. This was enough to prove that Huo Fu was the traitor who colluded with Mongolian State.
“I see.”
Long Ji’s face revealed a malicious smile: “So are you trying to say that you are also involved in this matter? You are trying to support a traitor like Long Yu and perhaps you are also a traitor like him.”
“Major General, leave this guy to us.”
At this time, both Yan Shan and Ma Shili stepped forward and tried to surround Bu Xing, who then noticed a mocking look in their eyes.
They were looking down on Bu Xing since he was daring to defy Long Ji, who was one layer above him.
This was really a wishful thinking!
The stance of these two senior generals was apparent. If Bu Xing tried to save Long Yu then they would not hesitate to attack him!
Long Ji was slowly approaching Long Yu and a golden lightning-like aura was dancing around him!
Long Yu knew that he could not involve Bu Xing in this mess and made up his mind.
“Long Ji, since you want to kill me so badly, I dare you to give it a try.”
Long Yu grinned and a sharp look appeared in his eyes. He immediately swept the dragon spear around himself and instantly condensed a violent airflow below his feet.
Nine Hidden Dragon Prance!
His whole body was launched high into the sky, and all of a sudden, he was out of that small valley. And the very moment he landed on the ground, he once again used dragon prance to escape from there!
Long Yu had fallen into Long Ji’s trap and his only option was to get out of there!
With the help of two successive dragon prances, Long Yu had a very good head start and also helped him in escaping from this full-scale trap!
“You cannot escape from me!”
Long Ji’s eyes flashed with killing intention. His golden figure suddenly flashed yellow and immediately rushed in the direction of Long Yu.
Since he had already congealed spirit entity, his speed was bound to be much faster than Long Yu’s speed!
In a while, Long Ji followed him outside that snow-covered small valley and noticed that Long Yu was very far away from him. Not to mention, Long Yu was fleeing deeper into the territory of Mongolian State.
“I would like to see how far you can run!”
Long Ji’s body exuded a deep killing intention and he immediately rushed toward the fleeing Long Yu.
Long Yu was rapidly fleeing into the deeper regions of Mongolian State and Long Ji continued to pursue him.
……
Bu Xing found it impossible to help Long Yu because two senior generals were blocking his path. If he tried to go after Long Yu to help him, these two would also follow him and make things more difficult for Long Yu.
He was anxious in his heart and never expected to see such a turn of events where Long Ji seemed to be using all sorts od dirty means to get rid of Long Yu.
In accordance with the current situation in Long Clan, there should be no hatred between these two men, right?
Of course, Long Yu’s grandfather had made it clear that Long clan shouldn’t create problems for Long Yu and naturally wanted him back in the clan, but some people did not want that to happen.
However, Bu Xing was surprised to see that Long Ji would so openly plot against Long Yu!
Bu Xing considered Long clan as an elite clan that supported justice over personal grudges, but the present situation really worked toward shattering his trust in Long clan. He was completely disappointed not just by Long Ji but by the entire Long clan.
“Long clan, you have really done it.”
Bu Xing’s complexion turned dark with anger.
Long Ji not just used Mongolian assistant generals to lure Long Yu to this small valley, also used Huo Fu to set up an ambush to get rid of Long Yu. And when the plan didn’t work out well, Long Ji used Huo Fu’s death as a premise to frame Long Yu as a traitor.
This was a brilliant plan because even if Long Yu was to die, the whole Tang State would treat it as the death of a traitor! And if Long Yu managed to survive, it would then be impossible for him, as a branded traitor, to return to Tang State.
However, Bu Xing knew that Long Yu wasn’t the type of guy who would so easily throw in the towel.
He knew that Long Yu was a smart guy with enough confidence and courage to survive through such type of situation. Bu Xing had been watching the growth of Long Yu for a long time and knew that his growth speed was truly astonishing.
A lot of people tried to kill Long Yu in the past several months but none of them was successful. In fact, Long Yu managed to step into Zhenling realm from Wudao third layer at a breakneck speed!
Even if he was being chased down right now, somehow, Bu Xing was confident that he would not die so easily and might even reverse the course of events in his own favor.
“Brother Long, I have evidence that will prove your innocence, so whenever you return to Tang State, I will take this evidence to the public and wash off the accusation from your nationality.”
A firm look appeared in Bu Xing eyes!
