Dragon Martial Emperor

Chapter 172 – Whipped Luo Zixin

When Luo Zixing pointed at Long Yu to fight with him, the people of Zhentian sect smiled.

This young man had presented them all with a comic situation upon their arrival in the Imperial city, without realising what a great folly he had committed by choosing Long Yu!

Only Baiyun Zhong’s expressions had not changed.

“Such being the case, Long Yu will fight young master Luo Zixing on behalf of Zhentian sect.”

Baiyun Zhong said lightly.

He couldn’t afford to attack Luo Zixing first, but since Luo Zixing had himself asked for a combat, he didn’t oppose.

Certainly, Baiyun Zhong had to remain vigilant for the sake of his sect.

Although Luo Zixing appeared to be arrogant and foolish right now, perhaps he was hiding something. Baiyun Zhong had to be careful since being the sovereign of the sect he was responsible for everyone’s safety.

If Baiyun Zhong meddled in a fight and got injured, the whole Zhentian sect would fall in a great problem!

After all, in this world of martial arts, strength was everything, and those who didn’t possess it always ended up being bullied and humiliated.

“Yes, Sovereign.”

Long Yu bowed down to the sovereign and obediently moved forward while gazing at Luo Zixing.

Luo Zixing, apparently the heir to the Imperial Luo clan, was not weak at all; he had a cultivation level of Zhenling third layer.

At the age of twenty, he had made great progress. But unfortunately his talent wasn’t sufficient to break through the bottleneck and enter the Zhenling fourth layer.

Long Yu had encountered a similar young master of Zhenling third layer in Hun Yin city – Yuchi Tao of Yuchi clan.

Yuchi Tao, who had intended to abduct Yan Huanmo, had run away in distress after Long Yu and Yan Huanmo killed his two Zhenling fourth layer allies.

If Yan Huanmo’s Zhenling entity had not been damaged in the fight, Long Yu would have certainly pursued him and killed him.

Now this Luo Zixing had the same cultivation level and temperament as Yuchi Tao, and hence it wouldn’t be a difficult task for Long Yu to fight and defeat this guy.

“I should stay careful while fighting this Luo Zixing. Being the heir of the Luo clan, he must have comprehended the core laws of his family…..”

Long Yu thought to himself as he looked at Luo Zixing.

“You’re not powerful enough to defeat me, but you are courageous.”

Luo Zixing narrowed his eyes, lifted his chin and said arrogantly: “If you surrender and beg for mercy, I will be generous enough to spare your life. Otherwise, my ‘Soul Whip law’ would surely kill you in a few moments.”

“Since I have accepted your challenge, none of us can back down from the combat.”

Long Yu chuckled: “Now come on, attack me.”

“You look desperate to die quickly.”

Luo Zixing contemptuously laughed: “Since we both have the same cultivation level of Zhenling third layer, how about placing a bet before beginning the fight? If you win, you will get to lodge in this Divine Valley inn along with your contingent. However, if you lose, this pretty Elder of your Zhentian sect would have to accompany me for the evening.”

He spoke while pointing towards Yan Huanmo.

Obviously, Luo Zixing had developed a liking for Yan Huanmo!

Yan Huanmo didn’t show any special expression and looked towards Long Yu as she quietly accepted herself to be a gambling stake. She was sure that Luo Zixing wasn’t a match of Long Yu.

However, Long Yu had different opinion on this.

“I am merely a disciple of Zhentian sect. How can I take decisions for an Elder?”

Long Yu refused Luo Zixing without any hesitation.

“Long Yu, I trust you. You have my permission.”

Yan Huanmo said confidently.

“Elder Yan, trusting me and putting yourself at stake are two wholly different matters.”

Long Yu looked into her eyes and said: “I can’t do this even if you permit me.”

Long Yu’s words touched Yan Huanmo’s heart.

Women are not gambling stakes!

“And why can’t you do this? Your Elder has permitted you. You are such a coward!”

Luo Zixing sneered.

“This is a matter of principles!”

Long Yu said disdainfully: “Are you going to begin or not? If you don’t fight me after challenging me, you would be considered lost. Don’t you think it would be disgraceful to you, Your Highness?”

“Boy, you are so dead!”

Luo Zixing’s face grew redder with anger since he couldn’t get Long Yu to place the bet. Suddenly, two snake-like whips flung from Luo Zixing’s waist.

Whip Zhenling entity!

A burst of xuan qi emerged from Luo Zixing’s body as he congealed a Zhenling entity in spite of being in Zhenling third layer!

No doubt, Luo Zixing was confident about himself while challenging Long Yu as he was about to break through the Zhenling fourth layer!

It was such a pity that Long Yu was not afraid of him even now!

As Luo Zixing congealed his Zhenling entity, the whips camouflaged into deep blue sky and darted towards Long Yu like poisonous snakes.

“How should I face these whips?”

Long Yu thought to himself. He hadn’t released his own Zhenling yet.

Long Yu had thoroughly assessed Luo Zixing’s strength as well as that of his Zhenling entity and was sure that he had no need to congeal his Zhenling at this point. He could easily suppress Luo Zixing just by releasing Zhentian domain.

“Zhentian Domain!”

Just as the whips wrapped around his body, Long Yu shouted and released the tyrannical pressure of Zhentian domain.

This tremendous pressure scattered the whips immediately!

“He can released domain?!”

Luo Zixing’s complexion changed. He had heard that among all the Zhenling third layer disciples of the seven major sects of the Tang kingdom, only a few have comprehended the domain level of a core law. This had made him confident about his victory over Long Yu.

However, his calculations didn’t turn out well.

“Such being the case, take this!”

Luo Zixing would never admit defeat so easily, so he took out a long whip which was a top grade spiritual level battle weapon and could have terrifying effects!

An ordinary Zhenling third layer expert would never have been able to bear even a single blow of his whip.

But unfortunately, he miscalculated his move once again!

Just as Long Yu saw him taking out his whip, he immediately took his Qian dragon spear out of the nine hidden dragon space.

When Luo Zixing saw Long Yu taking out some weapon, he thought he might just condense the Zhentian domain pressure on the tip of the weapon, but Long Yu released numerous spear shadows instead.

“This is impossible! It is a top grade spiritual level battle weapon!”

Luo Zixing was left in utter shock as he saw Long Yu flashing his spear. He was so shocked that he almost lost the grip of his whip.

While the numerous spear shadows blocked Luo Zixing’s whip, Long Yu condensed nine hidden dragon qi at the tip of his spear and soon the spear was pointed at Luo Zixing’s throat.

Luo Zixing wanted to compete with Long Yu using his Zhenling entity but was suppressed by Long Yu’s Zhentian domain. He next tried to compete with him using a top grade spiritual level battle weapon and had failed again as Long Yu had a top grade spiritual level battle weapon of his own!

However, Luo Zixing had not given up yet.

“Face my martial skills now! Shadow wind!”

Luo Zixing clenched his teeth as he displayed a martial skill which belonged to the set of martial skills of his own Luo clan.

Immediately, his whole body started moving as swiftly as wind as he disarmed Long Yu by snatching his spear. However, he noticed that this hadn’t startled Long Yu even a bit!

“Your are too slow!”

Long Yu flapped his lunar wings and just by using 30% of their power, he soon overtook Luo Zixing.

“Lamella touch!”

Long Yu swayed his spear as a tremendous burst of nine hidden dragon qi erupted from the tip of the spear and rushed towards Luo Zixing.

The next moment, Luo Zixing’s cheek had been scarred by Long Yu’s spear and the nine hidden dragon qi had seeped through his body, causing his cultivation level to drop by one layer!

“You lose.”

Long Yu stood there holding his spear with an indifferent face.

All the people of Zhentian sect had expected the same outcome.

However, the seven or eight attendants that Luo Zixing had brought with him had never expected that this black-robed boy would brutally defeat their master.

Long Yu’s strength was so terrific that even Luo Zixing couldn’t resist it!

Luo Zixing got up and tried to fight once more, but just then Long Yu grabbed his whip and hit him on his face with it!

Slap!

Long Yu’s blow was so powerful that the whip left a deep mark on the otherwise charming face of Luo Zixing.

This Zhentian sect disciple dared to hit Luo Zixing with his own whip!

“You have lost the fight. Be honest and admit it.”

Long Yu sneered: “This whip mark will always remind you that women are not gambling stakes. Now gather your attendants and leave this place immediately!”

Luo Zixing was stupefied!

“Are you going or should I whip you once more?”

This was a moment of great shame for Luo Zixing!

However, he now knew that Long Yu was too powerful for him. It was useless engaging him in another fight. Luo Zixing couldn’t even ask for his whip back, so he decided to go back to his Luo clan and ask for help to seek revenge.

“Alright, we’re leaving.”

Luo Zixing stood up, gathered his attendants and left the Divine Valley inn to the contingent of Zhentian sect.

After Luo Zixing and his attendants left, the disciples of the Zhentian sect heaved a sigh of relief and started chatting among themselves about how Long Yu whipped Luo Zixing.

“Brother Long Yu, Luo Zixing wouldn’t give up so easily.”

Bu Xing walked towards him and patted his shoulder: “This whip has not just left a mark on Luo Zixing’s face, it has struck the whole Luo clan, and they will not keep mum about it. We have to be careful.”

“Brother Bu Xing, don’t worry. I can handle this matter.”

Long Yu smiled and looked towards Yan Huanmo who was standing nearby.

By whipping Luo Zixing, Long Yu had actually served some justice to Yan Huanmo, who had constantly been the target of insults by the men of influential families.

Long Yu couldn’t have let those men go without teaching them a good lesson!

Soon afterwards, a trembling old man dressed in a steward’s clothes approached them. He was probably the housekeeper of the Divine Valley inn.

This old man couldn’t act till Luo Zixing and his attendants were there, so he came out only after they left.

“Oh! You have brought great trouble upon me!”

The old man shivered with fear as he spoke: “That Luo Zixing is the heir of the Luo clan and is everyone’s favourite in his family. When his clansmen would see the whip mark on his face, they would surely inform the Luo clan’s ancestor, who would never be at rest till he avenges Luo Zixing. At that time, this young man would lose his life.”

He shook his head looking at long Yu and said: “In my opinion, you all should take the initiative on your own and visit Luo clan to apologise to him. This is the only way you all can save yourselves from his wrath.”
