Chapter 165: Revealed

Lin Xinyao's face turned solemn and prepared to unleash her trump card. However, the moment she was about to make a move, a cold snort suddenly reverberated throughout the area.

"Hmph!" 

Instantaneously, the pressure around Lin Xinyao wholly disappeared, and Fu Tianya gracefully arrived in front of Lin Xinyao along with his five bodyguards.

Fu Tianya stared at Ming Wu coldly and said. "Your Ming clan is finished."

Surprisingly, Ming Wu did not feel agitated in the slightest by the arrival of Fu Tianya. It was as though he had expected this. He frowned slightly as he looked at the wound on his shoulder and turned to Fu Tianya. "You are finally willing to come out, huh? I've waited for you to appear a long time."

Fu Tianya's brows raised in surprise as he responded. "Really? What are you going to do next then?"

Qi Yuanfeng threw a healing pill into his mouth and looked at Ming Wu questioningly. It wasn't because he was unaware of what Ming Wu was going to do next, but he didn't expect Ming Wu to reveal it this early.

A cold smile appeared on Ming Wu's lips. He waved his hand slightly, and a black aura immediately flew out of his body. It was not only him, but all of his five bodyguards were also the same.

As the one who lived with Abyssal Energy for years, Lin Xinyao instantly recognized this black aura. "Abyssal Poison!"

When Fu Tianya heard this, his eyes narrowed, and he said. "Everything makes sense now. It turns out you are a member of Poison Valley." 

In the past, the power struggle between the four clans was fair and incredibly close. It was until the last decade, the strength of the Ming clan suddenly rose sharply and completely broke the balance between them. However, with the Frozen Moon Palace standing behind the Fu clan, the Ming clan could only wait for a good opportunity to strike, and the time had finally come. 

As long as Ming Wu could get rid of Lin Xinyao and Fu Tianya here, with the help of Poison Valley, the Ming clan would definitely become the Thunder City's overlord. 

"Kill!" Ming Wu didn't want to waste his time, as Lei Jun and others might appear at any time. He decisively ordered all of his bodyguards to kill Fu Tianya and Lin Xinyao.

Fu Tianya sent a signal to his people, and all of them immediately spread out, rushing to the enemy.

The battle between the Ruler Profound practitioners with equal strength usually depended on who made a mistake first. Just this single mistake could lead them to death within a second. Hence, when they fought each other, they wouldn't recklessly attack unless they were confident.

However, facing Abyssal Energy, Fu Tianya's men were gradually suppressed by the opponents. Even though they could still prolong the battle without injury, the chance for them to kill Ming Wu's men was slim to almost impossible. 

Ming Wu didn't worry much about his people. In his opinion, it was only a matter of time before they could kill Fu Tianya's men. All he needed to do right now was to prevent Fu Tianya and Lin Xinyao from escaping.

"Let me see what the so-called genius Fu Tianya got." Ming Wu grinned evilly as his eyes turned entirely black. The black mist around his body gradually became thicker.

Before Fu Tianya could respond, Ming Wu's silhouette flashed, instantly appearing next to him while punching toward Fu Tianya's head.

BANG!!

The profound energy barrier that Fu Tianya conjured in a hurry was deadly smashed. He borrowed the momentum to roll over, evading into the distance. In the next moment, a bone-chilling murderous aura drifted from Fu Tianya's rear, and he instinctively spun his body around before kicking at the incoming attack.

Boom!

Fu Tianya's kick met with Ming Wu's fist head-on. Unexpectedly, it was Fu Tianya who flew away like a broken-kite, but he managed to stabilize his body midair before landing on the ground. He wiped a trace of blood out of the corner of his mouth while staring at Ming Wu with a solemn expression.

Ming Wu retracted his arm and chuckled with a mocking smile. "That's it? Is this the so-called genius that everyone keeps praising? It turns out you are nothing but simply trash."

Fu Tianya didn't respond to Ming Wu's mocking remarks. Instead, he glanced at Lin Xinyao and then at his men, considering how to send Lin Xinyao away. 

Ming Wu's current strength was surpassed Fu Tianya's estimation by a large margin. He might handle Ming Wu alone, but if the latter changed the target to Lin Xinyao, Fu Tianya wasn't confident of protecting her.

Ming Wu naturally saw through Fu Tianya's thoughts. He laughed slightly. "Heh! Are you thinking about how to send her away? Aren't you too naïve?" 

He sent a signal to Qi Yuanfeng, and the latter quickly rushed toward Lin Xinyao with a long sword in his hand.

"Miss Lin, I heard you are the number one beauty of Northern Continent? It seems today this lowly one must tear your veil at all cost." Qi Yuanfeng grinned as he swung the sword at Lin Xinyao.

Under Qi Yuanfeng's attack, Lin Xinyao was incomparably calm. She flicked her wrist slightly, and a bone-freezing aura immediately burst out from her spear as she thrust forward to meet the incoming attack.

Bang!

Both of their weapons collided with each other, producing a tremendous force to sweep the surrounding area. The impact had created a large hole in the ground beneath Lin Xinyao's feet, but there was no injury on her body.

Meanwhile, Qi Yuanfeng's face turned unsightly while flipping backward several meters away. He thought he had overestimated Lin Xinyao's strength already, but who would have thought she could still give him a big surprise with this attack.

Qi Yuanfeng took a breath and said with a smile. "As expected. You deserve to be the one and only disciple of Palace Master Han."
