A Chaotic World 149 True Ability of the Limitless Mirror Eye

Lu Tianzi's words resounded in everyone's ears.

If he had said this at the start of the fight, almost nobody would have taken him seriously.

But now that they had seen for themselves the exceptional combat prowess that Lu Tianzi had exhibited during the fight, they understood that he truly had the right to announce the impending end.

Seeing that a crack had appeared in Beihua Wanlei's treasure armour, what Lu Tianzi said might indeed not be too far off from what was about to happen!

"Do you think you have already won just because you managed to land a few hits?" Beihua Wanlei retorted.

But despite his words, Beihua Wanlei was feeling quite nervous at the moment. No matter how much he hate to admit it, there was almost no doubt that he was indeed inferior to the other party in terms of pure fighting capability.

Even so, that did not mean he was completely helpless in this situation.

After all, Beihua Wanlei still had a life saving trump card up his sleeves!

Being the top genius of the Lightning Crow Sect, there was no way that Sect Master Leiba would have allowed him to leave the safety of the sect without anything to protect himself with.

In Beihua Wanlei's possession was a single use item created by Sect Master Leiba, something he called the Lightning Crow Seed.

This Lightning Crow Seed looked to be an ordinary grey pearl. However, it contained the power of lightning that Sect Master Leiba had poured in generously, personally compressing it into a highly volatile state within the small pearl.

The moment the Lightning Crow Seed struck its target, it would immediately explode with the power of lightning belonging to a Seventh Cycle Origin Core realm expert!

That was definitely not something that an Essence Condensation realm martial artist would be able to handle.

Even this ridiculous combat talent in front of him would be no exception!

And since this was a fight to the death, it would be foolish of Beihua Wanlei not to use it to obtain victory.

If he kept saving it for any longer, he might just lose even his final opportunity to make use of it!

After all, a dead man would have no need for anything like it.

"Whether I will win or not, this move will be enough to prove it!" Lu Tianzi's body shot forward.

"Come!" Beihua Wanlei secretly swept over his spatial ring, and drew out the Lightning Crow Seed.

This action of his was done in a swift and discreet manner. In fact, not even the Origin Core realm martial artists watching from below the platform managed to notice the grey pearl that was now carefully hidden in his hand.

There would only be one chance, and he had to make it count!

Just like before, Lu Tianzi charged forward fearlessly.

By now, he had already seen most of what Beihua Wanlei was capable of. Still, he knew better than to let his guard down.

The first time he did, Lu Tianzi immediately suffered a direct hit to the chest. If not for his Nine Dragons Flexible Armour, he might really have been heavily injured then.

Now, Lu Tianzi was carefully watching Beihua Wanlei's every move with his Limitless Mirror Eye, and thus he had already noticed that Beihua Wanlei was secretly hiding something in his hand!

What was it?

A hidden weapon?

Poison?

Or a paper talisman?

But no matter what it was, Lu Tianzi had the confidence to stop Beihua Wanlei from using it altogether, just like how he completely ignored Beihua Wanlei's double activation of inscription skills earlier.

Beihua Wanlei had taken up a defensive posture to brace himself for the clash, but Lu Tianzi cared not for it. He decisively thrust forward with the Sword of Ivory Rock, aiming to end this once and for all!

Right as Lu Tianzi's sword strike was about to land, Beihua Wanlei finally moved.

He might not be able to read the movement of Lu Tianzi's sword, but defending himself became much easier now that he knew exactly where Lu Tianzi would be aiming for – his heart!

There was already a crack in his treasure armour where his heart was. If Lu Tianzi wanted to finish it in this exchange, he would have no choice but to aim for this one vulnerable spot in his defence!

Beihua Wanlei moved his left hand up to his chest, ready to deflect the incoming attack. At the same time, he prepared to fire out the Lightning Crow Seed with his right hand the very moment Lu Tianzi got close enough for him to be assured of a successful hit.

Just like what Beihua Wanlei had expected, Lu Tianzi did not hesitate to aim straight for his heart.

The Sword of Ivory Rock drew nearer and nearer, just like the scythe of the death reaper.

However, what Beihua Wanlei felt in the face of this danger was not fear, but excitement.

After all, things were all going according to his plan!

At this point, Lu Tianzi finally came close enough.

Now!

Beihua Wanlei turned his right hand, and prepared to flick out the Lightning Crow Seed.

But right as he was about to fire the Lightning Crow Seed, Lu Tianzi's left hand, that had been idle for a while, finally moved.

The Torrential Sabre slashed out, striking Beihua Wanlei's right gauntlet and knocking it out of the way.

Shit!

Beihua Wanlei cursed in his heart, hurriedly retracting the Lightning Crow Seed back into his hand. Had his reaction been just slightly slower, he could even have dropped the Lightning Crow Seed from the sudden impact!

If he actually dropped the Lightning Crow Seed at his own feet, it would have been a total disaster!

At the same time, Beihua Wanlei drove the Slaughter Essence in his inner world, sending all of his strength into his left gauntlet, activating its inscription skill once more.

He did not have the luxury of time to think about why this Nanlu Tianzi would suddenly break away from his attack pattern, using the sabre to knock away his right hand. However, what Beihua Wanlei knew was that no matter what, he definitely had to stop Nanlu Tianzi's attack.

Otherwise, it would all be over for him!

Huge bolts of electricity appeared once more, creating an extremely intimidating scene right in front of Beihua Wanlei. With the might of his inscription skill, Beihua Wanlei was certain that no matter how intricate Lu Tianzi's swordsmanship was, there was no way that he would be able to break through by force!

And even if it only scared Nanlu Tianzi off, he would still be fine with it.

After all, Beihua Wanlei needed just one opportunity to land his attack. One more chance was all he needed for everything to immediately end with his victory!

Seeing the heavily charged gauntlet safely guarding his opponent's heart, Lu Tianzi could not help but laugh inwardly.

Did this Beihua Wanlei think he was an idiot?

With a flick of his wrist, the Sword of Ivory Rock changed its direction in an instant.

Stab-!

The tip of the sword pierced through skin, and a thin trail of blood slowly seeped out of the wound.

At this moment, it was as though time had frozen on the fighting platform.

Beihua Wanlei's entire body was completely petrified, overwhelmed by fear.

Lu Tianzi stood facing him, holding firmly onto his sword with his outstretched right arm. The tip of the sword was now just barely embedded in Beihua Wanlei's forehead.

From his current position, all that Lu Tianzi needed was just a mere flick of his wrist for him to stab right through Beihua Wanlei's skull, ending his life in an instant!

Right now, it was no exaggeration to say that he truly had Beihua Wanlei's life in his grasp!

"You lost," Lu Tianzi smirked confidently as he stared into Beihua Wanlei's eyes.

At this moment, his figure looked to be much larger than it truly was, emanating an aura of untouchable oppression.

It was filled with an unstoppable momentum, as if no matter which opponent came his way right now, all that could happen was for them to be trampled beneath his feet!

This was a scene that would definitely be deeply embedded in the minds of everyone present!

The guests watching sighed in lamentation.

The fight was over, which meant that it was time for Beihua Wanlei of the Four Stars to meet his end.

Such a talented youngster, what a waste…

Nanlan Qianbing nervously swallowed her saliva.

Was this the same person whom she challenged back then in Bluenight Palace?

Back then, she had been indignant about her loss. But now that Nanlu Tianzi had come so far, attaining first place in the Scarlet Moon Heroes Meet, and even defeated the fiancé of her dreams in a fair one on one battle, the indignation in her young and immature heart had started to turn into a sense of awe and infatuation…

Standing beside Formation Master Beimu, Beimu Fei felt her blood boil in excitement.

That brat really did it! Master's decision to act in his stead today actually paid off!

But not everyone was able to react in a calm manner.

"Wanlei!" Sect Master Leiba yelled anxiously from outside of the platform. "Nanlu Tianzi, you had better think through carefully before making your next move. If you stop now, things can still be reconciliable between us. Otherwise, my Lightning Crow Sect will forever be your enemy!"

"This is an arranged fight to the death between the two youngsters." Formation Master Beimu remarked. "Doesn't Sect Master Leiba think that your words sound a little strange?"

"I am not going against the agreement! Even if I do not go after him, it does not mean that I have to treat him kindly if we ever cross paths in the future!" Sect Master Leiba retorted. "On the other hand, Nanlu Tianzi, if you stop right now, I can pretend that none of this ever happened between us. On top of that, you will be treated as an honoured friend of the Lightning Crow Sect, and we will do everything in our means to aid you in the future! And even if you stop here, everyone would agree with me that you have already won. Killing Wanlei will not do you any good at all. Think rationally before you act!"

Lu Tianzi glanced at Sect Master Leiba's anxious countenance, then turned back to look at Beihua Wanlei who was staring at him with hatred.

"You live to see another day," Lu Tianzi retracted his sword, inevitably causing a small spurt of blood to escape from Beihua Wanlei's forehead. "I hope you learn from this lesson."

His actions surprised most of the people present.

Being a hotblooded youth, it was quite unexpected that he would be able to hold back after being treated by the other party in such a manner.

However, what they did not know was that Lu Tianzi had never intended to take Beihua Wanlei's life in the first place.

If he killed Beihua Wanlei in front of this many witnesses, even with the Beimu Clan's assurance, Lu Tianzi could not say for certain that the Lightning Crow Sect would not go crazy on him.

After all, it was not as though he could keep on staying under the protection of the Beimu Clan.

Rather than incur the wrath of a Seventh Cycle Origin Core realm martial artist like Sect Master Leiba, he would rather risk having an enemy in Beihua Wanlei, someone whom he could still defeat in a fight.

But if Beihua Wanlei were to look for him in the future, Lu Tianzi had no qualms about dispatching of him. Of course, that had to be done in a discreet manner.

Thud-!

Beihua Wanlei fell to his knees weakly, watching helplessly as Lu Tianzi walked away.

He actually lost?

In his mind, the scenes in which he repeatedly taunted the Intermediate Essence Condensation realm Nanlu Tianzi kept on replaying themselves.

Right from the moment they met, when Nanlu Tianzi butted into his conversation with Nanlan Qianxue.

Every action he took.

Every word he spoke.

All of it was now coming back to haunt Beihua Wanlei, causing him to feel endless shame and embarrassment.

There was no doubt that this incident would turn into a heart demon that would stand in the way of his martial path forever!

This meant that it would now be far more difficult for him to realise his true potential in the future…

No, he cannot let that happen!

Who is he?

He is Beihua Wanlei of the Lightning Crow Sect, a proud member of the Four Stars of Scarlet Moon City!

There can be no stain in his life!

Beihua Wanlei's eyes lit up. "I have yet to admit my defeat!"

With a flick of his fingers, a grey pearl shot out at lightning speed, heading straight towards Lu Tianzi.

The watching guests were all dumbfounded!

Nanlu Tianzi showed mercy and let Beihua Wanlei off without killing him, yet the latter actually decided to stab him in the back?

Was this the grace that a member of the Four Stars should be exhibiting?

Formation Master Beimu widened his eyes in shock.

The Lightning Crow Sect was a top influence in Scarlet Moon City, and many of the guests present recognised the infamous Lightning Crow Seed. She was no exception.

Without the need to be told, the Eighth Cycle Origin Core realm martial artist beside her immediately shot forward, heading straight towards the fighting platform.

But despite his incredible speed, there was still no way that he would make it in time to block the hit for Lu Tianzi. All he would be able to do was to immediately render medical aid to Lu Tianzi after the damage had been done.

Hopefully that would be sufficient to save the life of the youngster…

"Nanlu Tianzi, watch out!" Beimu Fei shouted in caution.

Even before Beimu Fei shouted out, Lu Tianzi had already noticed the sudden burst of killing intent coming from Beihua Wanlei.

He spun around to face the kneeling Beihua Wanlei, only to see a small grey pearl heading towards him.

Lu Tianzi immediately understood that this must be the same item that Beihua Wanlei had hidden in his hand earlier.

With how fast it was approaching, there was no way he would be able to evade in time.

As for blocking it, Lu Tianzi dared not even think of trying.

Even though it was an unseeming and dull looking grey pearl, with how much confidence Beihua Wanlei had placed in it, Lu Tianzi guessed that it could very well be the greatest trump card of his opponent.

If he carelessly tried to block it with his sword and sabre, the resultant energy outburst might completely destroy him!

At this moment, a silvery light flashed through Lu Tianzi's eyes.

Along with it, the figure of the Lightning Crow Seed flickered for the slightest of moments, so quick that even most of the Origin Core realm martial artists present failed to notice it.

But what happened next was impossible to miss.

Without warning, just as fast as the Lightning Crow Sect had been heading towards Lu Tianzi, it suddenly reversed with the exact same speed.

And after reversing its direction, it was now headed straight towards Beihua Wanlei!

After firing out the Lightning Crow Seed, Beihua Wanlei had been brimming with adrenaline, eagerly looking forward to the thunderous explosion that would shred Lu Tianzi to pieces.

But the very moment he saw that the small grey pearl was now heading in his direction, this rush of adrenaline instantly drained away from him.

Already down on his knees, Beihua Wanlei had no means of evasion whatsoever. All he could do was watch on in confusion as the Lightning Crow Seed fly right at him.

What the fuck just happened?
