Chapter 535: Chapter 211: Ghost Shadow Ten Flashes, Luo Cheng Will Not Survive!

“None of you are leaving here alive today!”

The gray-haired elder let out a deep shout. His withered, jet-black fingers clawed at the empty air, launching three razor-sharp streams of black Qi force straight toward Luo Cheng, swift as a thunderclap, aiming to shred him into pieces on the spot!

“Dream on!”

Jin Luoming sternly countered, his right palm radiating golden light as he struck out horizontally.

Boom!

The claw force shattered, collapsing midair into fragments.

At the same time, Jin Luoming swept his hand, and a gentle force surged forth, pushing Luo Cheng and Jin Yuxi several miles away.

“Courting death!”

The gray-haired elder roared furiously, his gray locks flying as dark currents swirled around his body with a thunderous sound, shaking the void. His chilling gaze locked onto Jin Luoming, brimming with murderous intent:

“Since you dare obstruct me, I’ll kill you first, and then claim that boy’s life!”

Jin Luoming laughed heartily, waves of strange energy radiating from him. The golden light surrounding him grew even more dazzling: “Let’s see if you have what it takes.”

“Kill!”

Boom!

The winds howled, thunder roared, and the two clashed in an instant.

Both were outstanding Earth Level Great Powers, their every motion capable of shaking mountains. Their initial exchange alone reduced several nearby peaks to dust!

The entire sky turned into a battlefield of black and gold, the two colors distinct yet colliding fiercely!

Miles away, Luo Cheng’s heart trembled with shock.

This was the clash of Earth Level Great Powers! Even their preliminary moves unleashed a force this overwhelming!

Luo Cheng estimated that if he ventured into the heart of the battle, even at full strength, he’d struggle to resist. He might not die outright but would certainly be gravely injured.

Jin Yuxi, sensing Luo Cheng’s unease, said reassuringly, “Don’t worry. Third Royal Uncle is a top Earth Level Great Power. As long as that man hasn’t reached the realm of Heavenly-level Great Power, he’s absolutely no match for Third Royal Uncle.”

Luo Cheng nodded lightly but did not feel at ease in the slightest.

True, Jin Luoming was strong, but the gray-haired elder was no slouch either. Each of his techniques was bizarre and unpredictable, their feints and transformations increasingly eerie under the shroud of night.

Jin Luoming had mentioned that this man was an assassin—a claim not made lightly!

Such methods were perfect for assassination, leaving no room for defense.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In just a few breaths’ time, the two had exchanged several blows.

The immense impact sent waves rippling outward. Even miles away, Luo Cheng felt unsteady on his feet, a testament to the terrifying intensity of their battle.

Suddenly!

“I’ll hold him off—go now!”

A barely audible voice reached Luo Cheng and Jin Yuxi’s ears.

Jin Luoming had realized the gray-haired elder’s power and knew slaying him in a short time would be difficult. He transmitted his voice, urging Luo Cheng and Yuxi to leave immediately.

Before the two could react—

“Heh, fighting me and still daring to be distracted? Die!”

The gray-haired elder, hardened by countless battles, immediately sensed the shift in Jin Luoming’s focus. He seized the moment to unleash a killing strike. His figure quivered as several pitch-black silhouettes silently lunged toward Jin Luoming from various directions!

“Ghost Shadow Eight Flashes!”

Whoosh!

The black shadows split midair, doubling in number. Suddenly, there were eight, writhing and morphing unpredictably before finally taking humanoid form—each faintly resembling the gray-haired elder!

In an instant, the heavens became a chaotic stage for shadowy specters. Ghostly figures danced wildly in the air, death emanating from all around!

“Try my strike—Golden Stream Break!”

Jin Luoming showed no fear. With a calm yet rapid motion, his right palm made a circular sweep before striking out, unleashing an expansive surge of golden light as vast as a tidal wave.

The golden wave, towering over tens of meters high, swept toward the eight shadows, engulfing them all.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

One by one, the ghostly shadows were crushed into nothingness. Fierce winds howled through the skies while inky-black fissures spiderwebbed outward.

Seeing his attack countered, the gray-haired elder smiled coldly, without the slightest surprise.

This move’s true name was Ghost Shadow Ten Flashes, capable of summoning ten shadows!

Announcing it as “Eight Flashes” was merely a ruse to deceive Jin Luoming!

As expected, Jin Luoming fell for it!

Whoosh!

Two black shadows bypassed Jin Luoming, twisting at impossible angles before hurtling straight toward Luo Cheng and Yuxi, ripping through the sky with two terrifying black streaks!

“Damn it! Golden Flowing Finger!”

Jin Luoming’s expression shifted drastically. His hair and beard bristled as he hastily gathered a surge of Essence Energy. A golden vortex spun atop his right index finger, which he pointed at the two shadows.

Thud!

Jin Yuxi, still at the First Level of Awakening Vein Realm, collapsed under the mere lock of the shadow’s murderous aura. Her face went pale as she spat out blood.

Luo Cheng’s heart also quaked. A master assassin of such caliber—let alone a direct hit, even a passing touch—meant obliteration. Death was a certainty!

He had no Life-saving Talisman left for protection!

“Explode! Explode! Explode…”

Without hesitation, Luo Cheng grabbed Jin Yuxi and frantically executed the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique. Bursts of tightly-condensed Essence Energy detonated beneath his feet in rapid succession, propelling them backward like a streak of piercing light, traversing a thousand meters in the blink of an eye!

Almost simultaneously, the golden finger strike struck the black shadows.

Boom!

Three terrifying bursts of Qi force exploded. The immense shockwaves radiated in all directions, sweeping Luo Cheng and Yuxi into their embrace.

Bang!

Their Protective Essence Energy twisted violently under the impact, and Luo Cheng, carried by its force, accelerated further, retreating several miles in one breath alongside Yuxi.

“We’re leaving!”

Swallowing a mouthful of blood-tinged breath, Luo Cheng wasted no time. Carrying Jin Yuxi, he dashed away at full speed, heading toward the horizon.

The gray-haired elder’s methods were too sinister. Although Jin Luoming held a marginal edge in strength, he couldn’t offer full protection. Staying was unwise and potentially fatal.

Without looking back, Luo Cheng fled. Within moments, he covered ten miles, then disappeared entirely in another instant!

“Damn it!”

Seeing Luo Cheng escape, the gray-haired elder burned with rage, nearly erupting on the spot. His carefully-plotted strike should’ve guaranteed their deaths, yet it had failed in the end!

He couldn’t fathom how the boy’s speed could be so absurd, or how they had withstood the intense shockwaves of the clash between two Earth Level Great Powers!

The boy was merely at the Peak of the Sixth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm!

Swish!

The elder was about to give chase…

“You filthy cur! How dare you toy with me? You won’t escape today!”

Jin Luoming, blazing with fury, roared with all his might.

A shadow of fear still lingered in his heart. If Luo Cheng and Yuxi had perished under his watch, how would he face Jin Tiandu?

He would be utterly humiliated!

With this in mind, Jin Luoming unleashed a resounding battle cry and activated his Martial Soul, pushing his strength to its peak. Bathed in golden radiance, he stood like a god, majestic and oppressive.

“Golden Flow Cave Heaven!”

Jin Luoming unleashed a devastating attack. The torrential surge of golden light transformed into a celestial golden dragon that barreled toward the gray-haired elder, its fearsome penetration power tearing concentric rifts through the sky.

Sensing the attack’s lethality, the elder dared not face it head-on. His body dissolved into black mist, darting sideways with uncanny speed.

Boom!

The golden beam struck the ground below, piercing several mountain peaks. The resulting fissures extended hundreds of meters deep, carving a miniature canyon into the earth.

Gazing at the ravaged terrain, the elder’s eyebrows knit tightly. Jin Luoming’s strength was indeed marginally superior. Escaping him in the short term would be nearly impossible.

“Don’t bother with tricks! You’re not leaving this place today!” Jin Luoming descended step by step, his gaze aloof as he stared down at the elder. “Let’s settle this once and for all!”

The elder twitched but quickly composed himself.

Others had also been dispatched to hunt Luo Cheng.

Mu Qinglian, a Peak of Ninth Layer Awakening Vein Realm expert and disciple of the Jile Sect under the Great Qi Dynasty, was known for her enigmatic methods. Killing Luo Cheng would be effortless for her!

After all, Luo Cheng had already been injured by the shockwaves earlier. His death at Mu Qinglian’s hands was inevitable!

Thinking of this, the elder’s sinister laughter echoed. “Quite the show of might. It seems you intend to kill me here today! Pity—it’s not going to happen. And the boy you’re trying to protect? He will also die!”

“Enough talk. Let’s settle this with our skills!”

Jin Luoming’s voice resonated like a blooming spring flower. He took a mighty step forward, shattering the space beneath his feet!

Boom!

In an instant, the battle between the two Earth Level Great Powers erupted in full force.

Both sought to pin the other down, unleashing their full strength. The surrounding space quaked, mountain peaks crumbled to dust, and the devastation of Earth Level might was laid bare for all to see!
