Chapter 436: Ghost Clap

How dare you kill Shaoyu! Ill kill you!

When the moment of shock finally passed, Yu Yuanshan suddenly bellowed a furious roar and swung his saber at Zhuo Henshui. The young woman was unprepared to defend against such an attack as she had just teleported out of the platform, not that she couldve done anything to defend herself against a Half-Step Grandmaster.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

The attack was bloodthirsty, efficient, and ruthless exactly like a military officer who had seen countless battles. It betrayed just how angry he was at Zhuo Henshui.

Yu Yuanshan had married Chen Wuchous younger sister. He wasnt just Chen Wuchous relative, their interests were closely aligned to each other. One of the biggest reasons Chen Wuchou and the Flying Dragon Stronghold dared to act as they pleased was because of him.

The reason Chen Wuchou sent his son to attend the Hidden Dragon Meet was to grow his sons fame and improve his prospects when he entered the Hengshan Army in the future. He believed it would greatly benefit Flying Dragon Stronghold, his son, and his own standings.

Besides that, Chen Wuchou wished to whitewash Flying Dragon Stronghold completely through Chen Shaoyu. It was why he had very high hopes for him.

But now, Chen Shaoyu was dead. How on earth was he going to justify this to Chen Wuchou? He could only pray that killing his sons murderer, Zhuo Heshui would be enough to placate the man.

You dare!

Suddenly, a furious roar that sounded like it came from a dragon itself shattered the saber force and bloodthirst. Yu Yuanshan himself was struck by a powerful wave of dizziness.

Does my warning mean nothing to you?!

A cold, furious voice rang beside Yu Yuanshans ear and snapped out of his daze. Blanching, he was just about to defend himself when a massive palm hit him so hard that he collapsed on the floor, and a leg stepped on his back so hard that he couldnt push free.

Lord Hong, what are you doing?! Let Commandant Yu go!

Some of Yu Yuanshans subordinates raced forward to save their superior, but a golden dragon flew out of Hong Jianglongs body, roared, and swung its tail at the incoming group. They were immediately sent flying through the air.

Pwack!

Bright red blood burst out of their throats as soon as they hit the floor. They couldnt help but stare at Hong Jianglong with shock and fear in their eyes.

Did I not just mention that I wouldnt forgive anyone who disrupts the Hidden Dragon Meet again? Hong Jianglong uttered icily while injecting more strength into his foot. Yu Yuanshan immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

You You did Yu Yuanshan forced through the pain and answered.

Hong Jianlong looked down on Yu Yuanshan. Then why did you ignore my words?

I Yu Yuanshan tried to push himself to his feet, but Hong Jianglongs strength proved to be indomitable. She She killed Shaoyu!

This is a no-holds-barred tournament where killing your opponent is allowed. Its his fault for being too weak to protect his own life, Hong Jianglong uttered coldly. If you wanted him to live, then you shouldnt send him to this tournament in the first place.

But Zhuo Henshui killed him even though Shaoyu was already out of the fight. This is murder! Yu Yuanshan argued through gritted teeth.

Hong Jianglong snorted. That is the consequences of his own actions. Did Zhuo Henshui not offer him surrender at the beginning? Did he not spurn her goodwill and even threatened to kill her whole family? I wouldve killed him if I was her.

You Yu Yuanshan couldnt say anything for a while. Our general was going to promote Chen Shaoyu after this Hidden Dragon Meet. How are we going to justify this to him when he learns about this?

Did you just try to threaten me with Zhou Hengshan? Hong Jianglong raised his eyebrows. His aura grew to the point where even the surrounding people felt suffocated, much less Yu Yuanshan. I dont know what delusions youre toiling under, but I assure you that that threat will not work.

Zhou Hengshan was the general of the Hengshan Army. People called him General Hengshan.

Now roll.

Zhao Buer replied frankly, Did you notice? Every once in a while, Zhao Lan would clap Lin Yuhuai here and there.

Sure, but so what? Gao Ningan interrupted. Its so weak it cant even kill a mosquito.

Stop interrupting and listen to what Brother Zhao has to say, Ye Qing chided him.

Zhao Buer explained, It looks like it couldnt kill a mosquito, sure, but its actually an extremely insidious martial art. It is called the Ghost Clap.

Is that the signature move of the fiftieth warrior on the Black List, Lingling the Invisible Killer? Luo Zhan asked.

Youve heard of it? Then I guess my warning is unnecessary after all, Zhao Buer replied with a friendly smile.

Tell me more about this Ghost Clap, Ye Qing urged.

He was aware of the Black List. Just like the Heaven, Earth and Human Champions Ranking, the Black List was also a ranking list announced by the White Jade Capital. But while the former rankings ranked the warriors by their strength, the Black List listed only heretics, notorious villains and the like. The people on the list might not necessarily be bad people per se, but they definitely were not good people either.

On a related note, the counterpart of the Black List was the White List. It listed righteous and heroic warriors who were famous for their good deeds or subjugated a lot of demons, heretics and the like. When mentioned in the same line, people usually called the two lists the Black and White Lists.

As the Black and White Lists didnt necessarily rank their candidates based on strength and so was not as reliable as the Heaven, Earth and Human Champions Ranking in that regard, they were still something to watch out for. It was generally believed that those in the top fifty of the Black and White Lists were, at the minimum, a Grandmaster and a named warrior on the Earth Champions Ranking.

For example, Lingling the Invisible Killer was the fiftieth warrior on the Black List and the ninety-eighth warrior on the Earth Champions Ranking. He might be the third last warrior on the ranking, but a Grandmaster was a Grandmaster.

Ye Qing had heard of the Lingling the Invisible Killer, a Grandmaster who was famous for his invisible killing methods. However, Ye Qing had never heard of the Ghost Clap.

The Ghost Clap is Shi Linglings signature martial art. It earned its name for being so light, soundless and undetectable it was as if the clap was done by a ghost.

Zhao Buer explained, The Ghost Clap looks useless on the surface, but in reality it allows the practitioner to secretly inject their force into a victims body without being detected. When the amount of accrued force exceeds a certain threshold, it would detonate and destroy the victims internal organs and blood vessels, killing them.

On the surface, it looks like the victim is completely fine. In reality, their insides are completely ruined. That is why he is called the Invisible Killer.

You are sure that Zhao Lan is using the Ghost Clap? Ye Qing asked with a deep frown on his face.

Im certain. Ive met Shi Lingling in person when I was adventuring with my master in the past, Zhao Buer confirmed.

On a related note, Shi Lingling was a man even though his name sounded like a womans.

Zhao Lan isnt plotting to kill Yuhuai, is he? Chu Nianjiu blanched. They dont even know each other until recently! Why on earth would Zhao Lan do such a thing?!

Ye Qing uttered with an ugly expression, Its probably because of me.

What do you The answer came to Chu Nianjiu before he could finish. Youre saying its because you wounded Zhao Lu earlier?

I think so, Ye Qing answered. He could see no other reason why Zhao Lan would want to target Lin Yuhuai.

What a repulsive bastard! Chu Nianjiu swore. What do we do?

Nothing. Its not like we can interfere with the match. There is a silver lining though. Zhao Lan wouldnt dare to kill Brother Lin, Ye Qing declared.

Technically, Zhao Lan could kill Lin Yuhuai, but he wouldnt. After all, Lin Yuhuai was a member of the Pacification Bureau. He would be signing his and his brothers death sentence if he did so.

That didnt mean he could make Lin Yuhuais life hell, however.

On the platform, Lin Yuhuai still had no idea what Zhao Lan had done to him, but he realized that something was amiss as well. Lin Yuhuai was a smart and decisive man, and he was satisfied with being able to make it to the Top 16. So, he surrendered immediately.
