452: Chapter 467 Hunter? No, Prey!
Before his voice had even faded, Feng Wuji's figure had already vanished from the spot!
That speed was extreme, like a true wind, formless and shadowless, yet omnipresent!
In the next instant, a palm wrapped in azure wind blades appeared three inches behind Lu Ming's heart!
This strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless!
There were no flourishes, only speed pushed to its absolute limit!
A cruel grin had already surfaced on Feng Wuji's face, as if he could already see the bloody scene of this person's chest being pierced and their heart and lungs being ripped out by his palm.
However, things did not go as he wished.
The moment his palm touched it, Lu Ming's figure dissipated like a bubble.
Void Shift!
Feng Wuji's pupils shrank slightly, somewhat surprised that the opponent's reaction speed was so fast, but he didn't care too much.
After all, he was just a stinking fortune-teller; it wasn't too strange that he could calculate and predict this backstab in advance.
He withdrew his palm, stood with his hands behind his back, turned around to look at Lu Ming who had reappeared nearby, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"Since you're so good at calculations, have you ever calculated that your time of death is near?"
Hearing this, Lu Ming patted the non-existent dust off his robes, looked up at him, and replied with a serious face.
"I really haven't calculated that."
He then paused, tilting his head and looking at Feng Wuji with a face full of confusion.
"But... someone like you shouldn't be able to kill me, right?"
The smile on Feng Wuji's face stiffened for a moment.
He had thought the opponent would lose their composure, or at least panic for a while, but he didn't expect the response to still be so indifferent.
Moreover, it seemed as if the opponent didn't even take him seriously at all.
This wasn't right, was it? Are Heavenly Secret Masters all this arrogant nowadays?
Feng Wuji narrowed his eyes, scrutinized Lu Ming carefully, and then let out a cold snort.
"Hmph, do you only know how to put on an act and use your sharp tongue!"
He had already decided in his heart that the opponent was just feigning composure to stall for time.
In their line of work, weren't they best at bluffing and making things mysterious?
"I'll see how long you can keep up this act!"
He stopped wasting words with Lu Ming and his figure vanished from the spot again!
This time, he was no longer testing the waters but going all out!
With the Law of Wind pushed to the extreme, his speed was already so fast that the naked eye could not capture it at all!
He was like an omnipresent wind, attacking from all directions simultaneously!
For a time, the sky was filled with his figures!
Every figure carried azure wind blades capable of tearing through the Void Realm!
Every wind blade was aimed directly at Lu Ming's vital points!
Yet Lu Ming stood there, motionless, and even closed his eyes at the end.
Seeing this scene, Feng Wuji couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Is he giving up? Or waiting for death?
But no matter what, the opponent was already doomed.
Because his attack was already close at hand, and he had blocked all of Lu Ming's retreats from all directions; there was nowhere to hide!
However, what he didn't know was that Lu Ming had never thought about dodging from the very beginning.
Just as those countless wind blades were about to land on Lu Ming.
Boom!!!
A terrifying pressure erupted from within Lu Ming's body!
That pressure was like a volcano that had been dormant for ten thousand years, completely awakening at this moment!
Two streams of black and white Qi gushed out from around him! The black and white Qi intertwined and spiraled, condensing into a massive taiji diagram phantom behind him!
The taiji diagram rotated slowly, and a mysterious aura permeated the field, like spreading ink, assimilating everything around it into a world of ink-wash style.
Feng Wuji's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of needle tips!
"This... this is!!!"
He cried out in alarm, his voice trembling!
Yin-Yang Law!
This is the fucking Yin-Yang Law!
When did another guy who cultivated the Yin-Yang Law pop up in the Profound Spirit Domain!
He knew of Yun Chenzi and was also aware of some inside information regarding Yun Chenzi's background.
Backed by a Grotto-heaven, he could comprehend the Yin-Yang Law; although talent accounted for a high percentage, it couldn't be separated from the support of a great power behind him.
But where did this person come from?
The Yin-Yang Law was not some lower-tier Law that could be comprehended at will; talent, Comprehension Ability, and resources were all indispensable.
Moreover, it was impossible for such a person to be so unknown; he had never heard of this person's name at all.
As for suspecting this person was Yun Chenzi?
No, he hadn't thought that at all.
He had heard of Yun Chenzi's conduct and style even in the Western Desolation.
Such a domineering person would probably start fighting immediately upon meeting; why would they waste words with them?
Feng Wuji's thoughts were racing, but he soon realized something was wrong.
Now was not the time to focus on these trivial matters!
"Damn it... you're not a Heavenly Secret Master!"
Feng Wuji felt his throat go dry as he questioned with false bravado.
Hearing this, Lu Ming slowly opened his eyes, looked at him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"I am."
His tone was very relaxed as he looked at Feng Wuji with a smile.
"It's just, who said a Heavenly Secret Master can't Cultivate other Laws?"
After saying that, Lu Ming didn't bother wasting more words with him and simply waved his hand!
The taiji diagram phantom behind him suddenly rotated, turning into a beam of intertwined black and white light that descended towards Feng Wuji!
Feeling the terrifying pressure from the taiji diagram, Feng Wuji's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly retreated!
His speed was indeed fast, so fast that Cultivators of the same rank couldn't catch up at all.
But that black and white light was even faster!
However, the target wasn't Feng Wuji; instead, it bypassed him and blocked all his paths of retreat!
Within a hundred-zhang radius, the Void Realm was completely enveloped by black and white Qi, and then began to gradually lose color, being dyed into an ink-wash world!
No matter which direction Feng Wuji fled, he would hit that layer of black and white barrier!
"Damn it!"
Feng Wuji gritted his teeth and frantically pushed the Law of Wind, trying to tear through that barrier!
However, when his wind blades struck the black and white Qi, they only stirred a circle of ripples and then vanished instantly, having no effect at all.
The Yin-Yang Law was one of the fundamental Laws of heaven and earth; how could it be easily shaken by his Law of Wind?
Feng Wuji's face gradually darkened.
He finally realized his current situation.
His once-unbeatable extreme speed was now of no use.
He was like a turtle in a jar, only able to quietly await the judgment of fate.
For a time, the sense of crisis in Feng Wuji's heart grew stronger and stronger.
But he was no ordinary person either and quickly adjusted his state of mind.
"Hmph! You think this can trap me?"
He sneered, a flash of pride in his eyes.
Outsiders only knew the extreme speed of the Law of Wind, but they forgot that wind is one of the rules between all things in heaven and earth.
Tangible wind can be chased, but what about intangible wind?
Without any hesitation, Feng Wuji decisively used his trump card.
[Free and Unfettered Roam]
The Divine Ability Free and Unfettered Roam completely merges one's Physical Body and Divine Soul into the wind, turning them into a formless and shadowless existence!
In this state, no physical attack can touch him, and no Spell or Divine Ability can easily lock onto him!
Thus, Feng Wuji's figure flickered, and his entire person instantly dissipated into nothingness!
He merged into this black and white ink-colored domain, vanishing without a trace!
In the Void Realm, only his voice remained echoing:
"I'll see how long you can maintain this domain! Once your mana is exhausted, I'll see what you'll use to trap me!"
The voice was elusive, coming from all directions at once, making it impossible to discern the location.
Hidden in the wind, Feng Wuji was secretly proud.
He admitted that this person had indeed exceeded his expectations.
The Yin-Yang Law was indeed very strong; after all, it was a supreme Dao that many people dreamed of!
But so what?
As long as he couldn't be caught, everything was empty talk!
As long as he hid in this wind, the opponent could do nothing to him.
Once the opponent's mana was exhausted and the Law domain collapsed, he would be able to seize the chance to escape!
As for a head-on confrontation?
He wasn't stupid!
Fight if you can win, run if you can't; that is the way of survival!
He didn't believe the opponent could maintain this state for long!
However, who was Lu Ming?
With just a slight calculation, he knew Feng Wuji's plan.
"Transforming into the wind? Interesting."
The corners of Lu Ming's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
"Since you want to bet that I can't catch you, then don't blame this seat for not showing Immortal Virtue."
Before his voice had even faded, he raised his hand and beckoned.
"Come!"
In an instant, a long banner draped in Xuanhuang Qi appeared out of thin air. The banner's surface flapped loudly, embroidered with images of the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, and the state's territory.
Just one look at it would make one feel dazed.
This item was none other than the human emperor banner!
That's right, Lu Ming didn't bother to waste effort looking for Feng Wuji's location.
That would be too troublesome!
So he chose a simpler and more direct method.
That was to directly take this entire domain, along with everything in it, into the human emperor banner!
Since he couldn't find the target, he would simply take away the entire fish pond!
No matter what Law you use, as long as you're in this space, you can only obediently be refined by him!
And so...
The human emperor banner suddenly grew in the wind, turning into a sky-covering curtain that wrapped around the entire black and white domain.
Boom!!!
In the next moment, the black and white domain suddenly shook violently, and then it was as if it was being forcibly torn, twisted, and swallowed by an even more powerful force!
Feng Wuji only felt his vision blur.
When he opened his eyes, the world had already changed.
It was no longer the mountain range that had been shattered by his battle with Yuan Tiangang, nor was it that black and white ink-colored domain.
Instead, it was a gray, gloomy, and deathly silent Void Realm.
The sky was eternally gray, with no sun, moon, or stars. The ground was pitch black, cracked and barren, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The air was filled with dense Yin-Nether Qi; one breath of it brought a bone-chilling cold.
In the distance, a turbid great river flowed slowly; the river water was silent, yet it seemed as if the wails of countless lost souls could be heard.
On the riverbank, a field of flowers as red as blood bloomed quietly; that red was strikingly shocking, as if it were watered with fresh blood.
Further away, the silhouette of a majestic and grand city could be faintly seen.
That city was pitch black, and within it, countless figures could be faintly seen wandering.
And above the city wall, three ancient characters were clearly carved.
Fengdu City!
This... where is this?!
Feng Wuji looked around blankly, his eyes filled with terror.
How could he suddenly appear in this ghostly place?!
Could it be... an illusion?!
He hurriedly performed several Heart-Clearing Incantations, trying to wake his mind, but to no avail; the surroundings remained the same as before, without the slightest change.
Not an illusion?
Just as he was filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
A strange and ethereal laugh came slowly from all directions.
"Jie jie jie..."
Feng Wuji was startled by this sudden sound; he hurriedly looked toward where Lu Ming had originally stood, but there was no one there!
"Where is he?"
Feng Wuji's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose.
Then he suddenly looked up, and his pupils contracted to the size of needle tips!
On that gray sky, a massive phantom slowly emerged.
It was a face so huge it covered the sky, looking down at him.
Those eyes were calm, indifferent, and high above, like a god looking down at an ant.
"Welcome to... my world!"
Lu Ming's voice was like thunder from the Nine Heavens, rolling down.
At this moment, Feng Wuji's legs were already a bit weak.
Because he was still in the state of [Free and Unfettered Roam].
However, that gaze was looking exactly where his true body was located.
"He found me?"
Feng Wuji was somewhat suspicious and uncertain, but he still barely maintained his composure and did not respond.
He just continued to play dead.
However, he soon couldn't keep it up anymore.
Because he horrifyingly realized that the Law of Wind in this world began to... dissipate!
Actually, saying it dissipated wasn't very accurate; more precisely, the Law of Wind was being stripped away.
The wind of the entire world... stopped!
In the next moment, as expected, Feng Wuji's figure slowly emerged.
His face still bore a thick look of terror and despair.
"This... how is this possible!"
Just what kind of great power could achieve the feat of forcibly stripping away the Law of Wind?
Is this still a fucking Golden Core Cultivator!
Hey, is there no justice, no Law anymore!
Is no one going to do anything about this!
Feng Wuji roared in his heart, but he finally clearly realized what kind of monster he was facing.
Heavenly Secret Master?
Yin-Yang Law?
Heh, none of these were the most terrifying.
The most terrifying thing was that this person had been playing the pig to eat the tiger from the very beginning!
He and Yuan Tiangang had fought with all their might, the two of them joining forces to besiege him, but the man was just playing along with them.
In the end, he foolishly thought he had gotten a bargain, thinking the opponent was a harmless sheep!
In the opponent's eyes, he was probably like a clown, jumping around for his own entertainment!
"You... you were plotting against us from the very beginning!"
Feng Wuji roared at the giant face in the sky, his voice full of resentment and anger.
"It wasn't exactly a plot."
Looking at the hysterical Feng Wuji, Lu Ming's tone was flat, as if he were just stating a fact.
"Yuan Tiangang is too tough; it's not easy for me to kill him alone. You are too slippery; it's not easy for me to catch you alone.
So... I let you two fight first to wear yourselves out, and then I came out to clean up the mess."
He paused, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"The key is, you were quite cooperative."
Hearing these heart-wrenching words, Feng Wuji's face turned as pale as paper.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found he couldn't say anything at all.
It turned out that from beginning to end, he was just a pawn in someone else's script!
The self-righteous hunter was, in the end, nothing more than someone else's prey!
