Chapter 2237 Trouble

2237 Trouble

Yun Lintian turned to look at the newcomer and said nothing.

"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Venerable Darkness, Kong Cheng. Your extraordinary bearing aroused my interest. How about you introduce yourself? Which faction do you hail from?" Venerable Darkness said with a faint smile.

"I believe there's no grudge between us. Why did you attack me for no reason?" Yun Lintian asked calmly.

"Hehe. It can't be helped. You've seen too much," Venerable Darkness said with a chuckle. "Besides, I am interested in your power. Perhaps I can make the strongest puppet with your Divine Core."

"I've seen too much?" Yun Lintian said with an indifferent smile. "Don't you think that's a bit ridiculous? You've clearly shown it to me yourself."

He paused briefly and flicked his wrist gently.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Suddenly, all the puppets surrounding Huang Ba exploded into pieces.

Venerable Darkness narrowed his eyes upon seeing this. He couldn't even detect Yun Lintian's energy fluctuation. How did Yun Lintian do it?

Yun Lintian looked directly at Venerable Darkness and said calmly, "Making a puppet with my Divine Core? You've overestimated yourself."

Buzz—

In that instant, the surrounding darkness solidified and rapidly dissipated.

Huang Ba and the other passengers immediately regained their senses. The first sight they saw was numerous puppet remains scattered around the deck.

Huang Ba turned around and saw Venerable Darkness. His expression turned solemn as he walked towards Yun Lintian.

"Brother Yun," he said while staring at Venerable Darkness.

Yun Lintian opened his palm, and the darkness immediately gathered, forming a black energy ball.

When the dust settled, the scene was one of utter devastation. The once majestic vessel was cut in half. The bow was nowhere to be seen.

The passengers, those who had survived the initial blast, clung desperately to whatever wreckage they could find, their faces etched with terror and despair.

Amidst the chaos, two figures remained standing.

Yun Lintian, his white robes billowing in the wind, stood tall and proud, his expression unchanged. Not a single hair on his head was out of place.

Venerable Darkness, on the other hand, was a shadow of his former self. His once imposing figure was now hunched and withered, his dark robes tattered and torn. His face, once filled with arrogance and pride, was now contorted in pain and anger.

"Impossible..." he muttered, his voice barely a whisper. "How can you be so strong?"

Yun Lintian's lips curled into a faint smile. "Strength is not just about power," he said. "It is about understanding."

Venerable Darkness looked at him with disbelief. "Understanding? What do you understand that I don't?"

"You understand the darkness," Yun Lintian replied. "But I am the darkness."

Venerable Darkness's eyes widened in comprehension. He finally understood the difference between them. He had always seen darkness as a tool, a weapon to be used to achieve his goals. But Yun Lintian saw darkness as a part of himself, an extension of his very being.

This was the true meaning of the Law of Darkness. It was not about controlling darkness; it was about becoming one with it.

Venerable Darkness let out a sigh of resignation. He knew that he had been defeated, not by brute force, but by a deeper understanding of the very essence of darkness.

"You have won," he said, his voice filled with bitterness. "But this is not the end. You've already been placed on our organization's kill list."

Yun Lintian sighed inwardly. Why did trouble always find him?

"It doesn't matter," he said calmly. "I'll simply eliminate them as I encounter them."

"It seems you have no idea about us." Venerable Darkness said with a faint smile. "Unfortunately, I have no chance to see that day. The day you will become our puppet."

Slowly, his body began to transform into a mass of darkness, writhing and pulsating...
