Capítulo 1834: Chapter 1861: Are You Sure You Want to Stand Here?
Huying keenly sensed that the Shadow Demon’s power beneath the lake’s surface had diminished significantly.
Yet on the lake surface, Yu Huan Shui did nothing, still struggling bitterly in the quagmire.
So, it’s the young man just pulled under the lake surface who’s taking action.
“Immortal, why have you returned from Yue Xing so quickly, and that young man with you, what’s his background?”
Huying suddenly looked towards the Immortal Hu behind her and asked coldly.
“Ah… this…”
Immortal Hu was taken aback by the words, not expecting to have a role in this matter.
“Sect Master, surely you don’t suspect that boy is causing trouble?”
“He’s just a young man, how could he have such might?”
“It’s probably still that rascal Yu Huan Shui doing good deeds, seemingly calm on the surface, actually turbulent underneath.”
The Elders said lightly, thinking Huying was overthinking it.
Immortal Hu recounted her experiences and observations on Yue Xing.
Everyone on the mountaintop fell silent; the experiences on Yue Xing were too astonishing. If that’s how it was, this young man named Li Xiaobai was truly extraordinary.
“Such a thing happened on Yue Xing?”
“You mean this fellow named Li Xiaobai actually prompted a chase from that legendary organization, not only repelled the regulators, but also managed to fend off the Law Enforcers.”
“What exactly is his path?”
The Elders were shocked by Li Xiaobai’s performance.
To consecutively repel three waves of regulators and Law Enforcers, such feats were hardly achievable by anyone across the entire star sea.
Is he merely a junior cultivator, yet seems more difficult to handle than Yu Huan Shui?
“I’ll go check.”
Elder Yue said.
His figure flickered, appearing on the black lake surface like a dragonfly skimming water.
“Gate of Destiny!”
Yu Huan Shui hesitated not a second and instantly unleashed the Law of Fate.
The great book was pushed to its limit; even with cultivation level sealed, it emanated a terrifying aura.
A page on Elder Yue’s face flipped, yet the next moment sank into the lake bottom, severing the connection with the Law of Fate.
“Heh, Yu Huan Shui, cultivation level sealed, the Law of Fate is too weak.”
A mocking smile appeared on Elder Yue’s face, daring to appear close to Yu Huan Shui naturally calculated everything, utilizing the Law of Power of the Shadow Demon to sever the control of the Law of Fate.
She submerged into the lake bottom, looked for Li Xiaobai’s trail, and soon discovered an anomaly.
For hardly any Shadow Demons were visible from the lake bottom, those cultivators once dragged down were now unseen, only black lake water remained.
With Huying stationed above, controlling the Law of Power and protecting her, she needn’t worry about being dragged underground by the lake.
She continued diving into the depths beneath the lake.
Suddenly, she froze.
An astonishing scene appeared before her; a basin at the lake bottom contained countless zombie-like beings, but in the next second, these zombie-like beings were swept away, disappearing altogether.
Replaced by a calm silhouette.
“It’s that boy!”
“He’s not controlled by the shadows?”
“Why is he immune to the Law of Slaughter’s influence?”
Elder Yue was shocked, it was the first time someone was entirely unaffected by the Law of Slaughter.
Bear in mind, the Sect Master’s Law of Slaughter was more than merely comprehending a fragmented law; initially, Huying’s Law of Slaughter could influence people’s sanity, focusing on the spirit.
Whenever cultivators were within its realm, the destructive desire in their hearts would infinitely magnify, turning savage, and if a group was present, they’d start engaging in mutual slaughter.
Just this one technique alone could cause numerous cultivators’ demise, let alone having successively devoured two possessors of the Law of Slaughter. Now Huying, not only could influence human sanity but could also control and manipulate those he killed, even making the Slaughter Domain tangible.
Yet Li Xiaobai endured the onslaught of the Law of Slaughter continuously, appearing entirely unperturbed.
“Kid, what have you done?”
Elder Yue curved a finger to condense an ice spike at the bottom of the water, aiming to probe Li Xiaobai.
But what happened next, she couldn’t understand.
Swarms of silhouettes suddenly emerged underwater, a dense mass. Countless zombie-like beings appeared beside her, crushed the ice spike, and forcibly pushed her into the ground.
“Sect Master!”
“Protect me!”
Elder Yue was aghast, wished to escape, yet was solidly locked down at the lake bottom by the formidable power erupting from these zombie-like beings.
“Why do the Shadow Demons assimilated by the Law of Slaughter target me?”
“Where the hell did they come from!”
Elder Yue’s heart turned fierce, a moon appeared behind her, icy breath swept out, instantly freezing the entire Shadow Lake.
The zombie-like beings were fixed in place by ice blocks, unable to move; Elder Yue seized the chance to break free.
“These guys’ strength, not Shadow Demons, although they’re corpses, their power is too puny. Kid, are you the one causing trouble?”
“I truly underestimated you; didn’t think you’d be the hardest one to deal with!”
Fire seemed to flare up in Elder Yue’s beautiful eyes; after so many years, she was being toyed with by a junior!
“These are called Great Resentment Species, corpses transformed by the Lake of Resentful Spirits, possessing similarly miraculous powers.”
“Elder Yue should not underestimate them.”
Li Xiaobai walked over with a slight smile, speaking slowly.
This Huying might be a peerless master, but his Law of Power was simply completely countered.
The Law of Slaughter affects sanity, but he possessed a System that automatically isolates all mental attacks.
Beneath the Shadow Lake lay countless corpses turned Shadow Demons, yet his Extreme Evil Pure Land also had a Resentful Spirits Lake capable of transforming corpses; throwing these Shadow Demons into it would convert them into his Great Resentment Species.
Huying’s cautious deployment of the law, not only wouldn’t become a means to kill him, but instead would become his resource.
The Shadow Demons at the lake bottom had been thoroughly plundered by him; numerous experts only awaited the Lake of Resentful Spirits to gradually convert them, soon, he’d obtain a batch of mighty Great Resentment Species.
“Hmph, the junior’s petty tricks only, being unaffected by the Law of Slaughter, you indeed possess some mystical traits; it seems I cannot directly kill you, I need to dig out the secrets within you.”
The moon behind Elder Yue grew increasingly radiant, the lake bottom was wholly frozen into a solid chunk of ice crystal.
No living being could walk within this ice crystal, only she wasn’t constrained.
“Cunning won’t help now, come with me, perform well and you may still be spared.”
Elder Yue approached Li Xiaobai, separating a block of ice, isolating the one enclosing Li Xiaobai.
A faint red glow emerged in her eyes, killing intent surged rapidly, even with Huying controlling, she still endured the Law of Slaughter’s impact.
“Are you sure you want to stand there?”
Li Xiaobai’s lips turned in a faint arc, a shadow above grew bigger.
Then, a massive silhouette descended from the sky, a large dark furry fist precisely broke through the ice layer and hit Elder Yue’s face.
“Pfft!”
