<h4>Chapter 1070: Zhenwu’s Arrow Technique</h4>
Zhuo Daynight whirled around to look at the approaching group, but just as she was about to shout something, Nightking Zhenwu raised a hand and pped her back down. “You ought to die for betraying the Fifth Maind!”
At that point, the void was torn open, and Lu Yin emerged. His spiritual force was going berserk as he unleashed Night Advent at Nightking Zhenwu, whose eyes went wide as he also released his spiritual force.
At that moment, the two stood at the center of attention as visible ripples of spiritual force spread out, sending Zhanlong Daynight, Nightqueen Yanqing flying, and everyone else who had joined the Daynight Feast flying. Quite a few youths were unable to endure these spiritual shockwaves, and they spat out blood before fainting.
A simple collision between the two youths’ spiritual force was enough to leave the area within a 1,000 meter radius of them devoid aside from Lu Yin, Nightking Zhenwu, and Zhuo Daynight.
The two did not speak a single word as their spiritual force surged once again. This time, they manifested as lines that swept out in all directions.
Within the distant crowd, Ling Que’s expression suddenly changed. “Run!”
The next moment, the colliding lines of spiritual force swept out, tearing through the void as well as the ground.
This was Nightking, and furthermore, they were within Everbright Square. Not even Hunters could tear through the void here, but the spiritual force collision between the two youths had actually surpassed the strength of many Enlighters.
Wen Qian’er was also in a dangerous situation, and she was nearly struck head on by the spiritual force.
The man she had been speaking to was still next to her, but he suddenly copsed to the ground without a word. Even if he managed to survive this, he woulde out an idiot.
Star energy exploded in front of Qing Longlong as the aftershocks of spiritual force surged forth. She quickly moved back in response, but she was still almost struck.
Avery was hit. He had been arrogant, thinking that with his strength as the person ranked fourth on the Top 100 Rankings, he would be able to withstand the aftershocks from the spiritual force collision between Lu Yin and Nightking Zhenwu. However, Avery had overestimated himself. Lu Yin and Nightking Zhenwu were on apletely different level from those on the Top 100 Rankings.
Xia Tian was on the very top of the Top 100 Rankings, and he had challenged all of the Ten Arbiters, but he had also lost to all of them. And Avery was far inferior to Xia Tian.
When the aftershocks of the spiritual force collision struck Avery, all he could do was fall to the ground. In fact, he was already lucky in that his strength was sufficient enough to prevent him from bing an idiot.
All of the elites who had been invited to the Daynight Feast as guests were forced to evade the aftershocks, as anyone not at the Ten Arbiters’ level was incapable of withstanding the aftershocks of the sh between Lu Yin and Arbiter Zhenwu. It was possible that Xia Tian might be barely able to resist it, but Qing Longlong was certain that not even Tai Yuanjun, who was ranked second on the Top 100 Rankings, could withstand this spiritual force assault.
Only Starsibyl silently stood in ce. She was able to divine the attacks and was confident that she would not be affected. From the very start, her eyes had been focused on Nightking Zhenwu, as this might be the day when he emerged glorious.
Zhuo Daynighty onto the ground, sprawled out as she constantly muttered to herself. She could not understand why Nightking Zhenwu had done such a thing. He had clearly promised her that he would release the Dayking bloodline, and they had alreadye to an agreement.
There was an unprecedented coldness in Lu Yin’s eyes as he stared at Nightking Zhenwu. “You deserve to die.”
Nightking Zhenwu was still arrogant, and the ck color on his poisoned right hand gradually dissipated. “Some lowly, despicable Dayking bloodline actually dared to dream of freedom. I can agree to it, and I can also reject it. Lu Yin, let me tell you this—I was originally nning on giving the Dayking bloodline their freedom, but it all changed because of you. Because you ascended the Night Watch Pagoda! You actually dared to reach the peak! You are asking to die!”
He pointed at Zhuo Daynight. “That woman also deserves to die. If not for her back then, you would have never survived.
“Because of you, the Dayking bloodline will never receive their freedom, and I will even bury these tens of thousands of Dayking people today. From today onwards, there will no longer be a Dayking bloodline that’s a part of the Daynight n.”
Zhuo Daynight’s body trembled. She lifted her head, and her desperation could clearly be seen. “I’veprehended Night’s End, Daybreak, and I can help you do anything you want! I’ve already surpassed Zhanlong Daynight, and there’s nobody in the Daynight n who is more talented than me.”
Nightking Zhenwu looked down and smiled at her. “Yes, nobody is indeed more talented than you. It’s actually quite a pity—because your talent is too impressive, you have to die. Your Dayking bloodline is actually able toprehend Night’s End, Daybreak, so all of you must die. They will all die because of you! Remember, everything that is happening is because of you.”
Zhuo Daynight’s eyes lost their focus, and her face went ck as she tried to endure this unimaginable shock. “You were the one who forced me to surpass everyone else!”
Nightking Zhenwu lips curled up, and he looked at Lu Yin. “You see? Women are all so stupid. However I want to y, I’ll y, and not with just her. Do you hear that music? That’s the Fireplume Tribe. A stupid tribe with a stupid princess. She blinded both of her eyes in order to rescue me? Hahaha, what a joke.”
Lu Yin’s pupils shrank, and his nine lined battle force erupted high into the sky. Heshed out at Nightking Zhenwu with a hand. In response, Nightking Zhenwu’s body also erupted with nine lined battle force that soared into the sky as he tapped out with a finger: Nightking Finger.
There was a thump, the impact of their physical bodies resulted in another wave of extremely terrifying spiritual force that swept out in all directions. ck and white interchanged.
This was not a repeat of their past fight in the Innerverse. Back then, the Innerverse had been suppressed by the cosmic phenomenon, and everyone had been forced to restrain their attacks to under a power level of 200,000. However, at this moment, Nightking Zhenwu’s unimaginable spiritual forcepletely exploded forth, and the power of his Nightking Finger had doubledpared to then. Lu Yin’s spiritual force was just barely able to resist it, and he felt like a little boat in a storm. Fortunately, Lu Yin’s physique surpassed Nightking Zhenwu’s.
Nightking Zhenwu used his spiritual force to force Lu Yin back, but at the same time, Lu Yin used his Oveying Stacks Path to force Nightking Zhenwu to retreat.
The two youths both took multiple steps back, but there was no pause as they charged at each other again. Nightking Zhenwu’s nine lined battle force grew even brighter, and he activated his Nightking''s Body. “Lu Yin, do you really think that I was using my full strength when you fought against me in the Innerversest time? Today, I’ll let you know that, even among the Ten Arbiters, there are the strong and the weak.”
Lu Yin clenched his fists as his pupils transformed into runes while he stared at Nightking Zhenwu’s descending finger. This attack was the Nightking Finger, which was the move that Zhenwu was the most adept at. Lu Yin opened his hands, and the Twin Suns converged and swept forward.
The two burning suns tore through the Nightking Finger, splitting it apart. After that, a ming sphere exploded as the second sun crashed towards Nightking Zhenwu. The colors ck and white interchanged in front of Nightking Zhenwu as they formed a visible barrier. This screen was made entirely out of spiritual force, and it blocked the second sun.
Immediately after that, an arrow formed in the Nightking’s hand and shot out at Lu Yin.
Not only had Nightking Zhenwuprehended the numerous battle techniques of the Daynight n, but he had also received an inheritance from the Sixth Maind’s Arrow Progenitor in the Daosource Sect’s ruins. During theirst encounter, Lu Yin had not been fast enough to roll his die before being crushed, and the attack that had sealed his defeat had been the Arrow Progenitor’s secret technique: Heart Seeker. This attack could not be defended against; if the heart was willing, then anything could be an arrow.
The Arrow Progenitor’s battle technique was a Progenitor’s inheritance, and it vastly surpassed the Daynight n’s battle techniques. Nightking Zhenwu had never used this attack during hisst battle against Lu Yin, and he had not revealed it during his battle with Bu Kong on the Champions'' Stage either. However, at this moment, Zhenwu used the attack.
Lu Yin quickly used the Yu Secret Art to divert the arrow, but the Arrow Progenitor’s battle technique could not be diverted so easily. Even the Yu Secret Art was only able to shift it slightly, and the arrow still struck Lu Yin. It drew out a splurt of blood from his waist that sttered onto the ground.
Lu Yin did not treat his injury, but neither did he move to attack Nightking Zhenwu. One of his hands grabbed at the flesh on his waist as he decisively severed a portion of his flesh. An intense pain spread through his entire body, but it was nothingpared to the suffering of the Heart Seeker secret technique.
The Heart Seeker secret technique was something that could not be effectively defended against. Lu Yin’s only countermeasure was to observe the attack’s runes and tear off any bit of his body that was struck by Nightking Zhenwu’s battle techniques.
During theirst battle, Lu Yin had been too careless, and he had been defeated because the Heart Seeker secret technique had sneaked into his body. The secret technique’s attacks had very few runes, so it was extremely difficult to sense them.
But this time, Lu Yin was specifically focusing on Nightking Zhenwu’s attacks. Thatst arrow had not injured Lu Yin too badly after slicing through his waist, but it had contained the Heart Seeker secret technique, which left Lu Yin very wary. If he had not quickly removed the flesh that had been struck by the arrow, then the Heart Seeker would have moved to his heart once again, and the oue of this battle would be the same as thest one.
This was Nightking Zhenwu’s strength.
There were countless people in both the Innerverse and the Outerverse watching the battle between Lu Yin and Nightking Zhenwu take ce. None of them had thought that the calm scene of the Daynight Feast would suddenly erupt into battle, and some people still had not processed the events.
As people watched Lu Yin mutte himself, they grew even more confused.
In Evernight Square, the crowd had retreated far away from the battle. Ling Que cursed; he had had a feeling that some problem woulde up today. However, he was more confused than almost anyone else when he saw Lu Yin tear off a piece of his own body in the distance. Had Lu Yin lost his mind?
Nightking Zhenwu sneered. “Do you really think that you can stop the Heart Seeker by doing that? How much flesh can you afford to lose?”
He then raised a hand, causing another arrow to take shape and shoot out at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin wanted to consume some of his upgraded medicines to treat his injuries, but he found that his cosmic ring could not be essed since the space on Nightking had been isted. The arrow drew closer to Lu Yin, and he converged the Twin Suns in his right hand to push the arrow aside. When the arrow collided with the Twin Suns, star energy exploded in an eruption that far surpassed a power level of 250,000. As the energy swept across the square, the arrow’s fletching suddenly spread open and directly shot through the Twin Suns to continue moving towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin had never thought that even his Twin Suns would not be able to stop this arrow. However, due to the dy caused by the Twin Suns, he had gained enough time to use the Yu Secret Art. He waved a hand, and the arrow brushed past him, just barely not touching him.
Despite having avoided the attack, Lu Yin still looked down at his shoulder. Only when he saw that no tiny runes were infiltrating his body did he feel reassured.
In the distance, Wen Qian’er and the others were overwhelmed; where had Nightking Zhenwu learned such terrifying arrow techniques?
Everyone had watched Lu Yin’s battle with Lan Si, and they were quite clear on how powerful Lu Yin’s Twin Suns were. Even so, Lu Yin was unable to stop this arrow technique. This was clearly not one of the Daynight n’s battle techniques.
Nobody knew where Nightking Zhenwu’s arrow techniques hade from.
Nightking Zhenwu had no need to exin himself, and he quickly fired off three more arrows, one after another. Lu Yin used Truesight to erase some of the runes, and at the same time, he also unleashed his forcefield, battle force, and Fatesand. Despite all of that, he was unable topletely stop all three arrows. These attacks were not too dangerous to Lu Yin, but they all carried the Heart Seeker secret technique. Thus, Lu Yin was forced to tear off portions of flesh from his shoulder, thigh, and abdomen. There was blood dripping from his entire body, and his appearance caused the crowd’s scalps to go numb.
Nightking Zhenwu waspletely crushing Lu Yin, and he was only able to passively defend.
During their battle in the Innerverse, Nightking Zhenwu had not revealed the Arrow Progenitor’s techniques that he had inherited, and he had only used the Progenitor’s Heart Seeker secret technique. Lu Yin did not have a clear understanding of the Arrow Progenitor’s arrow techniques, but they were truly terrifying. These attacks far surpassed the power of Lan Si’s Vacuum Palm, and nothing in Lu Yin’s repertoire could stop them. All he could do was meet the attacks head on, but how long could he hold out by doing that?
Nightking Zhenwu spoke in an arrogant tone, “I’ve already said that I would let you know the difference between us!”
Another arrow appeared in his hand, but this arrow was different from the previous ones. All of the previous arrows had possessed a single feather as fletching, but this arrow had two. “It must have been difficult to get to the Daynight Flowzone, but now, you will die.”
He then loosed the arrow.
When that double-fletched arrow was loosed, its strength was doubled, and it also carried the Heart Seeker secret technique. Nobody within the same generation could stop this attack.
Nightking Zhenwu wanted to use this battle to solidify his position as the leader of the Ten Arbiters. He was the heir of the Daynight n, the inheritor of the Arrow Progenitor’s inheritance, and the possessor of a secret technique, status, and everything that could be possessed. Even Lu Yin, who had defeated Lan Si, would be easily exterminated by him, and the next thing that Nightking Zhenwu would obtain was Night’s End, Daybreak. All of thatbined with the possibility of the Third Nightking returning and the Starsibyl Sect’s assistance reinforced Zhenwu’s belief that he was the child of the heavens.
He was the person most likely to step onto the path of bing a Progenitor, and he was the Fifth Maind’s hope. He wanted to demonstrate all of this to the entire universe. This was the Daynight Feast that he had wanted to see.
