The night was as dark as ink.
Even though it was bustling and noisy in the vast Dark City, which was as bright as day, it was still a secluded place.
In the quiet ruins, there was only a mottled moonlight.
There were very few people here, so it could be considered as a piece of barren land at the edge of the Dark City.
At this moment, there were two figures dashing across the wasteland like lightning. They were like two shooting stars that had streaked across the night sky.
When these two figures landed on a broken wall on top of the ruins, they both stopped and stood still. Suddenly, they turned their heads and looked behind them.
The flowing light converged, and two young men appeared. The one on the left looked to be around 21 to 22 years old, with a grand stature and moonlight enveloping him, his bronze skin had a faint Ye Guang, with distinct and deep facial features, giving him a sculptural feeling, a disposition that seemed to transcend the mortal world, as though he existed in the sky, as if he could suppress the mountains and rivers.
On the right, there was a young man dressed in a black robe, black as ink. He looked extremely handsome, and his facial features were as distinct as sculptures.
"I've been following you for so long," he said. "There's no one here. You can come out now!"
The black robed handsome youth on the right stared at the empty air as he spoke. His voice was gentle, but there was a faint sharpness in it. The aura around his body faintly fluctuated and emitted a menacing aura.
"The Heaven Martial Academy of the Nine Hells is too little for Gui Wa. Budian Shanhe General, what a coincidence!"
A sinister voice resounded through the dark night, giving off a feeling that caused one's hair to stand on end. After which, a silhouette flashed out of nowhere.
Suddenly, a skinny old man appeared in front of the two youths. His entire body was covered in skin and bones, and his eyes were sunken deep into their sockets.
"Ghost Claw, you clearly know that we came to find you, but you're still going to let us beat you up first!"
The young man on the left who had the aura of a mountain suppressing river shouted. The light in his eyes started to flicker.
As the number one general on the Martial Ranking, he had maintained his status as number one on the Martial Ranking ever since he entered the Heaven Martial Academy. No one could shake him. Once, the Emperor of Stone Dragon Empire had said that once a general graduated from the Heaven Martial Academy, he would be able to control an entire prefecture.
It was said that even some of the current elders in the Heaven Martial Academy could not do anything to him. The last time he captured the Ghost Claw, it was with Gu Xinyan, who was ranked second on the Martial Ranking.
Last time, if it wasn't for the fact that I was careless, did you really think you could capture me? However, I do miss that little girl, and she is truly a peerless beauty in the world. Unfortunately, I didn't come today, so I could only go and reminisce with her some other time.
The skinny old man walked forward step by step as he looked at the two youths. His gaze was filled with coldness, and at this moment, he didn't seem to care too much about them.
As the Ghost Claw whose name shook the Dark Forest, the number of Heaven Martial Academy disciples that died at his hands was already many, and he didn't mind adding two more. In any case, the Heaven Martial Academy wouldn't let him go, and of the two of them, one was his enemy and the other was one that he had to kill.
"You're courting death!"
The black robed handsome youth did not speak anymore, his voice becoming more and more fierce. Everyone in the Heaven Martial Academy knew that he, Gui Wa, was too lacking in the Nine Nether, and did not like to talk too much.
When he said that, the black Profound Qi s around Gui Wa's body became like a liquid, enveloping her entire body. The revolving Profound Qi s and killing intent released a faint light aura, which looked extremely strange under the mottled moonlight.
"Huala!"
The aura Gui Wa released caused even the surrounding space to ripple. Just this aura alone was enough to prove that Gui Wa was truly ranked third on the Martial Ranking.
Looking at the aura and killing intent that Gui Wa's body was releasing, the Ghost Claw's gaze became even darker, its tongue licked its dry and lame lips, and sneered: "Tsk tsk, this must be the Ghost King's Ghost King Manor's [Hell King Sutra], it is worthy of being called an 'Earth Grade Middle Grade' cultivation technique, it is just right suitable for me to cultivate, if I could get it, my cultivation would definitely increase again."
"My Ghost King Manor's' Hades' Scripture ', I'm afraid you don't have the life to cultivate it!"
Gui Wa said indifferently. The pale black Profound Qi surged, causing the abundant energy and killing intent to undulate around his body. Faintly, some black Rune Light began to spread.
"Speaking of that time, I naturally had to be afraid of the Ghost King Manor and the Heaven Martial Academy, only that everything has changed now. Heaven Martial Academy and the Ghost King Manor, it doesn't matter what they did to the Duke Palace, since you all want to touch me today, then leave your lives behind!"
As the Ghost Claw's voice faded, a dense amount of Talisman Secret Mark s surged out from their hands that were like a pair of withered ghost claws. A wave of sinister and stern aura spread out from their bodies and under the wave of sinister auras, it caused the Profound Qi within the bodies of the General and Gui Wa to slow down slightly.
"On the other side of the Martial Duke Stage, the Ghost Claw broke through to the Edge Level of the Martial Duke Stage."
Sensing the aura on the Ghost Claw's body, both the general and Gui Wa's expression became serious.
"That's right, this old man's blessing has already broken through to the other side of Martial Duke Stage. Two children, today you will die!"
At the same time, his figure turned into an afterimage, and pounced towards Gui Wa like a ghost. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Gui Wa.
Looking at the speed of the ghost claws, even Gui Wa's pupils shrank slightly. Abruptly, a ghastly look covered his eyes and his entire body became indescribably cold and ghostly. With a wave of his hand, the black Profound Qi and rune moved.
"Beginning Martial Duke Stage, kid, you're still not enough!"
The Spirit Claw sneered, and did not dodge. Its expression was gloomy and cold, and its withered palm, like a Spirit Claw, instantly and ruthlessly collided with Gui Wa's attack. The dazzling energy rune blossomed, and a low explosion sound suddenly resounded.
"Chi la!"
In such a collision, the Spirit Demon Claw didn't budge, but Gui Wa was pushed back by the impact of the dark energy.
"Mountain and River Seal!"
In a short moment, the Budian Shanhe General pounced, his aura exploding like a mountain and river as the Profound Qi surged.
"Boom!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!" A dazzling light enveloped the general's palm, causing the space around him to tremble. The palm struck at the claw, and powerful energy surged like a torrential flood.
Budian Shanhe General was very strong. As the number one expert in the Heaven Martial Academy, he was not a match for anyone in the entire Heaven Martial Academy. Just this single palm strike was enough to prove the terror of his power.
"As expected of the number one person in the Heaven Martial Academy. It's getting more and more intense. If you had died in my hands, I'm afraid it would have been enough to make this old man's name resound throughout the world!"
The claw that was wrapped in the Talisman Secret Mark tore through the air and fiercely collided with the terrifying palm print that seemed like a mountain and river being suppressed. The sharp claw print seemed to be able to tear through the air and after persisting for a short moment, it actually managed to directly tear apart the golden palm print and neutralized the terrifying palm print.
It was already night. The sun had already reached its peak.
The Dark City was still brightly lit, and many places were still as bright as day, bustling with noise and excitement.
Four Seas Inn, the first floor's great hall, still continued its proclamations without end, and were practically packed to the brim.
The smell of alcohol permeated the air on the tables of Du Shaofu, Li Yuxiao and Luo Tianchen who were sitting near the quiet table.
However, at this time, there was an additional person on the table of the original trio. Black was tied behind their heads, a few strands of hair fell to their ears, they were handsome, their eyes were deep and dark, but when they came to eat meat and drink wine, they lacked grace. They were not much better than Du Shaofu's wolfing down appearance.
Universe Sword Guo Shaofeng was the last to go downstairs. Seeing Du Shaofu, Li Yuxiao and Luo Tianchen were drinking and eating meat, he sat down without a single trace of politeness, and only said one sentence. "Drink and eat meat, you can't leave me out next time, unless you look down on me."
"We thought your ranking was too high and we were afraid we wouldn't be able to get in your way."
Du Shaofu replied Guo Shaofeng as he gulped down his wine.
Du Xiaoyao had been quietly sitting at the side the entire time. After seeing Guo Shaofeng, the pale golden eyes of the Spiritual Pupil stared straight at the ancient bracelet on Guo Shaofeng's hands. That was a Talisman Artifact, and its saliva was almost flowing out.
Li Yuxiao and Luo Tianchen looked at each other. They originally thought that Du Shaofu did not know how to drink, but after drinking it, they realized that it was them who did not know how to drink.
Du Shaofu drank the alcohol as if he was drinking water, gulped it down heavily, and ate the meat in large mouthfuls.
The King Scale Demon Tiger also sat down on the chair and started to eat the meat. However, no matter how much meat there was, it was not enough to eat.
Du Shaofu wiped his mouth and looked towards Li Yuxiao. Guo Shaofeng and Luo Tianchen raised their wine cups and said: "I didn't think that your table manners would be as ugly as mine."
Li Yuxiao, Guo Shaofeng, and Luo Tian Chen clinked their wine cups against Du Shaofu's and drank it all in one gulp.
Then, Li Yuxiao shot a glance at Du Shaofu, his dark red eyes becoming even more dark red, and said: "Nonsense, my appetite is definitely better than yours."1
"Haha!"
Du Shaofu laughed out loud, causing the few tables of guests to look for their reputation, but they did not pay much attention to the four of them.
Du Shaofu continued to speak with Li Yuxiao: "If Li Yuxiao speaks vulgar words, I'm afraid if they were to spread back, it will definitely be news."
"He always likes to use vulgarities, it's just that you don't know."
Luo Tian Chen was not surprised at all, he looked at Du Shaofu and said: "It's not fun fighting with you, it's too depressing, but drinking with you to eat meat, it's not bad."
