Chapter 184 – Advantageous environment


    A day and a night passed quickly.


    The nine bodyguards of the princes of Imperial Wang n had been searching thoroughly for Long Yu and Liu Yuan, but couldn’t find any sign of them. The sudden drop in the temperature near the frozenkecaused them to tremble because of cold.


    The corew that the Wang n practiced was called ‘Wang tigerw’ and was originallyprehended from the tactics of the most ferocious tigers. However, in spite of being able toprehend such a powerful corew, the bodyguards had benguid because of the biting cold and were unable to use the corew.


    “Where did they go?”


    Wang Yuanchen’splexion turned uglier. The fact that Long Yu and Liu Yuan had disappeared within a few minutes angered him.


    Only the drop in the temperature affirmed that Long Yu and Liu Yuan were present nearby.


    “Hantan snow valley is freezing. The breeze is getting colder and colder. They must be hiding somece near the frozenke…”


    The old bodyguard was very experienced. He continued looking near theke and finally a chiselled spot at the centre of theke caught his attention.


    “Are they at the bottom of theke?”


    The old bodyguard’s heart jumped at the possibility. He was more shocked than surprised.


    The Hantan snow valley had quite a low temperature throughout the year, keeping thiske frozen all the time. Moreover, the lunar tablet had decreased the temperature further, not to mention the bottom of theke was even colder!


    Why did Long Yu and Liu Yuan choose to enter theke under such dangerous circumstances?


    No doubt such a low temperature would facilitate theprehension of lunar tablet, but the stakes were very high to be taking such a risk.


    “Break open this frozenke. I think they might be hiding inside theke.” The old bodyguard ordered the others.


    All the other bodyguards were quite surprised.


    Long Yu and Liu Yuan were hiding at the bottom of the frozenke?


    This was absolutely crazy!


    However, this might exin why they couldn’t find them in spite of continuously searching for a day and a night.


    Immediately, an ominous look shed in Wang Yuanchen’s eyes.


    “Let’s see how long can they hide from us!”


    As Wang Yuanchen waved his hands, the nine bodyguards of the Wang prince began digging the surface of theke.


    The ice shattered with a loud sound.


    …………


    At the bottom of the Hantan Lake-


    Long Yu and Liu Yuan had been practising for an entire day and a night.


    Long Yu didn’t know about how much Liu Yuan was able toprehend but he was sure that by night, he would enter the next stage ofprehension of the lunar charm.


    Originally, Long Yu hadprehended the lunar charm but hadn’t been able toprehend the lunar domain.


    However, practising at the bottom of the frozen Hantan Lake for just a day enabled him toprehend lunar domain!


    In order to enter the realm of Man-heaven unity, one had to practice beyond domain level.


    The intensity of the lunar domain that Long Yu hadprehended was more than that of the Blood Dragon domain practised by the Long n.


    Although the Blood dragon domain was quite formidable, the lunar principle was aw of imperial seal level and was a level above Blood dragon principle.


    The disparity in the strength levels could actually make a Zhenling thirdyer expert like Long Yu much more powerful than the Zhenling fifthyer expert, Long Ji!


    The lunar tablet indeed had a powerful presence.


    “The effect of the lunar tablet has increased since Iprehended the lunar domain. The temperature has dropped further as well. Should we leave this ce now?”


    Long Yu was thinking when just then, he heard some noiseing from the surface of theke, as if someone was trying the break the ice on the surface and enter theke.


    “Who’s that?”


    Long Yu was surprised at the thought of someone else trying to enter theke.


    Did this person know that he and Liu Yuan were at the bottom of theke?


    Long Yu wanted to warn Liu Yuan, but he couldn’t move since he was trapped in the ice. He wasn’t sure whether Liu Yuan had discovered this or not.


    Whatever might be the case, he knew that he had to be ready to fight.


    The next moment, Long Yu activated his nine hidden dragon mark which released a great amount of heat.


    “Nine hidden dragon fist!”


    Long Yu released his fist towards the surface of theke.


    Since he was stuck ina crisis, he used all his might tounch the fist. The power of the fist made the people who were present at the surface of the pool gawk all of a sudden.


    Long Yu jumped from within theke and shot up in the sky, releasing a dense aura of nine hidden dragon qi.


    A fist, merely a fist had shaken up the entire Hantan Lake. The humungous power of nine hidden dragon qi left everyone terrified, including the old bodyguard.


    The old bodyguard was the chief bodyguard of the princes of Imperial Wang n.


    He never expected Long Yu to take the initiative of attacking them from theke, let alone making him his primary target.


    “Is this the Wang n?”


    Long Yu looked on to see a startledWang Yuanchen.


    His appearance was quite simr to Wang Tianzhuo, with whom Long Yu had already had an encounter before. This made it easy for Long Yu to guess this guy’s background.


    Since he was facing the enemies, he needn’t hesitate while attacking them.


    “Lunar domain!”


    Long Yu didn’t waste a single moment and released the newlyprehended lunar domain, which soon enveloped all his enemiespletely.


    Although he was on his own facing ten of the strongest bodyguards of the Wang n, he didn’t hesitate for a single second, for he knew that his hesitation would not only lead to Liu Yuan’s death but could also take the lunar tablet away from him.


    Just as Long Yu released the lunar domain, the temperature of the Hantan Snow valley dropped once again.


    The lunar domainpletely enveloped everyone who was present there and caused an avnche. Had any ordinary person been present there, he would have surely been frozen to death within a few seconds.


    All the people of the Wang n, including Wang Yuanchen, immediately stimted their Xuan qi in an attempt to resist Long Yu’s lunar domain.


    The cold environment of the Hantan snow valley was making Long Yu’s attack even fiercer. If the people of the Wang n failed to resist the lunar domain, the freezing wind would enter their body and coagte their blood, causing immediate death.


    “Lunar wings, activate!”


    Right after releasing the lunar domain, Long Yu pped his lunar wings at the highest speed possible and reached the old bodyguard within a snap.


    Since Long Yu had attained resonance with his lunar wings, even a Zhenling sixthyer powerhouse wouldn’t be able to catch him if he escaped, let alone the old bodyguard and Wang Yuanchen, who were just Zhenling fifthyer experts.


    All everyone saw was that Long Yu disappeared and then reappeared near the old bodyguard andunched his fist.


    The strength of samsara seeped through his body immediately.


    “Old bodyguard, be careful!”


    Wang Yuanchen tried to warn him. Hisplexion changed as he watched Long Yu attacking the old bodyguard, frightening the others.


    Wang Yuanchen was worthily a Zhenling fifthyer expert.


    He responded to Long Yu’s attack at once. Although it took him a great amount of strength to defend himself from the lunar domain, but that was not all.


    Wang Yuanchen’s eyes shed as a Tiger Zhenling entity appeared behind him.


    “Wang Tiger, suppress!”


    As Wang Yuanchen shouted, the Wang Tiger Zhenling entity rushed forward andpletely suppressed the lunar domain. The next moment, Wang Yuanchen darted towards Long Yu and arrived near him.


    Had Wang Yuanchen been suppressing the lunar domain alone, it wouldn’t have been possible for him to escape its suppression power.


    However, at this moment, Long Yu’s lunar domain was being suppressed by eleven people of the Wang n simultaneously, so its suppression strength was dispersed and Wang Yuanchen broke through the suppression with the help of his Zhenling entity.


    “Awakening palm samsara!”


    Long Yu swayed his hands and continued to release the power of samsara.


    The strength of the Wang Tiger Zhenling entity was making it difficult for Long Yu to focus on the fight. So, he decided to use the samsara against that Zhenling entity so that its strength would drop instantly by one level.


    “Zhentian domain!”


    Long Yu’s strength of Zhentian domain of Zhenling thirdyer matched that of the weakened Tiger Zhenling entity perfectly!


    Unfortunately, due to the interruption caused by Wang Yuanchen, the old bodyguard got enough time to regain hisposure and broke through the suppression of the lunar domain.


    “You are very strong, but today you are going to die!”


    The old bodyguard came forward and released Wang Tiger Zhenling entity simr to that of Wang Yuanchen. He also released Wang tiger domain and directed his attack towards Long Yu.


    Long Yu lost his breath under the suppression of two Wang Tiger Zhenling entities.


    “Thunder charm, explode!”


    Long Yu clenched his teeth as he condensed the terrifying power of the thunder charm on the tip of his Qian dragon spear and shot the spear towards the old bodyguard.


    “Na?ve!”


    The old bodyguardunched a powerful punch towards Long Yu’s spear.


    There was an enormous difference of twoyers between the strength of Long Yu and the old bodyguard. Moreover, Wang Yuanchen was constantly distracting Long Yu with his set of martial skills.


    Watching himself at the losing end, Long Yu thought of using the only thing the old bodyguard and Wang Yuanchen wouldn’t be able to overpower.


    “Lunar wings!”


    Long Yu knew that none of them would ever be able to catch up with his speed if he used his lunar wings, let alone the fact that they all were under the suppression of lunar domain, which was made even fiercer by the cold environment of the Hantan snow valley.


    “You don’t have a chance of winning!”


    Long Yu’s eyes shed.


    “Really? How long do you think you can stand against us with your cultivation level of Zhenling thirdyer? Your Xuan qi would be exhausted soon, and once it’s exhausted we’ll kill you!”


    The old bodyguard and Wang Yuanchen were blocking the two entrances of Hantan snow valley. With them blocking the exits, it would be impossible for Long Yu even at his highest speed to escape.


    After all, only two sides of Hantan snow valley could permit entering and exiting. The other two sides were full of snow-capped mountains which were thousands of feet high.


    Although Long Yu could fly, he couldn’t cover a long distance of thousands of feet!


    “Hand over your lunar tablet and we may consider sparing your life.”


    Wang Yuanchen said as he and the old bodyguard prepared to attack Long Yu.


    Under their prying watch, Long Yu wouldn’t dare to make even a slight movement else they would immediately kill him.


    Surrounded by the nine bodyguards of Wang n, the old bodyguard and Wang Yuanchen, it seemed like Long Yu had no way left to escape!
