The ugly beast immediately leapt into the air as it received his master’s orders. Fanning its wings, it swooped towards Yue Yang like a swift lightning.
The huge blade slashed down from the sky.
Yue Yang dodged, avoiding the tip of the ugly beast’s blade with lightning speed. As he was about to counterattack, the ugly beast started to spin high up in the sky, its sword tip spiralling like a spinning top.
This was the humans’ martial art technique ‘Whirlwind Blade’. What was different was that humans stood on the ground and spiralled, but this monster spun in the air. Yue Yang leapt backwards, withdrawing from the attacking range of the sword blade. The ugly beast flapped its wings wildly and kept chasing, finally forcing Yue Yang to back up into the lakewater. Sure enough, this ugly beast had intelligence. When he saw Yue Yang enter the lake, the bloodthirst in its red eyes intensified, revolving and slashing faster as it chased.
The Marquis of Zi Jin felt a little astonished. He did not think that this masked brat would easily fall into a disadvantageous position.
Backing into the lake was most likely a crafty plan.
However, he completely did not control or warn off his summoned beast. He only quietly observed, looking at Yue Yang’s counterattacks, hoping that he could find a hint or trace from this fight to deduce Yue Yang’s identity.
The Marquis of Zhi Jin could be certain that this fellow in front of him was a young Ranker that was secretly nurtured by one of the Four Great Sects, because he did not recognise him at all and had never heard about such a young Ranker in this world. How did a person like him not even chosen to be one of the Three Great Killing Stars? Even if he was not chosen, how would he be completely obscure and unknown? Also, the most important point was that with this fellow’s skill, courage and insight, were definitely not something that normal people could have. He must definitely be a young Ranker secretly nurtured by one of the Four Great Sects.
“Counter-attack!” Yue Yang shouted loudly, raising his Magic Blade to fake an attack.
The ugly beast clearly could understand the human language. It immediately reacted with a kind of vigilant defense when it heard him, and its revolving speed had also slowed down quite a lot.
With this single test, Yue Yang confirmed what he thought… He then repeatedly raised his Magic Blade and put them down, shouting “Counter-attack!” at each time. The ugly beast was completely confused by his actions and its offensive attacks ended up hindered time and time again and again. Finally, its spiralling form ultimately disintegrated into nothingness.
“It’s really an idiot, haha!” Yue Yang jeered at it loudly.
When the ugly beast heard him, it flew over, flustered and exasperatedly, Meanwhile, Yue Yang was stepping on the surface of the lake, using his Magic Blade to stir the water slowly.
The Marquis of Zhi Jin noticed some irregularity. The true power did not lie in the purple flames on the Magic Blade, but in the turbulent undercurrents in the whirlpool of waves underneath this fellow’s feet.
Unknowingly, a giant whirlpool had appeared at the bottom of the lake, but the surface remained as calm as ever.
What made the Marquis of Zhi Jin’s heart beat faster was that this masked brat had used the Magic Blade in a very ingenious way. When he tried to observe and compare Yue Yang’s moves carefully, he actually found that he, himself, would not be able to do this… In the instant when the ugly beast thrust at Yue Yang’s face, Yue Yang’s Hui Jin Magic Blade had arrived before it and met the sharp tip of the giant sword. Taking advantage of this moment, Yue Yang caused the ugly beast to entirely lost its balance and fell heavily onto the lake’s surface. When it flapped its wings desperately wanting to fly up, Yue Yang chopped at the wings on its back with one slash of the Magic Blade, laughing coldly. “Go to hell and be a water ghost!”
The ugly beast dropped onto the lake’s surface with a loud sound.
Initially, with its strength, even if it was injured, it would still be able to fly towards the sky within a few seconds. However, the strange whirlpool at the bottom of the lake entirely destroyed any possibility of it even struggling and simply swallowed it whole.
Suddenly, a fist cast a shadow onto Yue Yang’s head. “You too go to hell to be a water ghost.”
It was the Marquis of Zhi Jin.
Even though Yue Yang had already put the most attention on him, he still could not sense the Marquis of Zhi Jin’s movement.
Yue Yang completely could not understand how this fellow could move to the top of his head in an instant… It was like he had disappeared in midair, and then re-appearing again suddenly here. There was no trace of movement in between, no indication of change at all.
If there was, Yue Yang would definitely have been able to feel it. But the weird fact was that the enemy seemed to have gotten control of the entire space. He could carelessly di
