Chapter 2116 - 2116 2106 The Puppet Master Behind the Scenes

2116: Chapter 2106: The Puppet Master Behind the Scenes 2116: Chapter 2106: The Puppet Master Behind the Scenes Long Yan ignored the astonished gazes around him and transformed into a deep purple light that shot out.

If his guess was right, there had to be someone behind this, controlling Luo Ming, following the trail of Demonic Qi that formed the light, Long Yan sped forward.

Luo Pin felt something was off after sensing the surrounding Demonic Qi and felt a sudden sense of relief as Long Yan took off into the sky.

She was very reassured entrusting this matter to Long Yan.

“Nine Heavenly Shadows!”

Facing Luo Ming whose whole body was surging with earth-shattering Demonic Qi, the momentum around him continued to rise alarmingly.

“8th-Rank God King!”

“God King ninth stage!”

“Half-Step Divine Emperor!”

The Demonic Qi around Luo Ming gradually ceased.

Originally, he and Luo Pin were both at the seventh stage of a God King, but now he had ascended to the realm of a half-step Divine Emperor.

Obviously, this sudden change stunned everyone in the audience; they had never heard of someone breaking through three levels on the spot.

A wave of cheers came from the stands, and a glimmer of lucidity flashed in Luo Ming’s eyes.

With the cultivation base of a half-step Divine Emperor, he was indisputably number one among all the geniuses on the All Heavens and Earth Ranking.

Instead, he was not in a hurry to fight Luo Pin across from him, looking up as if enjoying a chorus of cheers.

Luo Pin harbored not a trace of fear in her heart.

Luo Ming remained static, and so did the shadow behind her.

The cheering gradually stopped, and Luo Ming’s blood-red eyes fixated on Luo Pin across from him.

His mind had fully succumbed to the control of demonic energy just now, and his heart had no sympathy to spare.

“Roar.”

A meaningless roar erupted from Luo Ming’s mouth, and the surrounding Demonic Qi crazily surged towards Luo Pin.

The shocking Demonic Qi made Luo Pin feel suffocating waves, as if the air itself was being severed by this formidable energy.

Luo Pin commanded the shadow behind her to throw a powerful punch.

In an instant, the pure force shattered the dark clouds formed by the Demonic Qi, and the energy around Luo Ming underwent a transformation as he stretched his hands towards the sky.

“Mount Tai Pressure!”

Countless giant boulders appeared above, hurtling towards Luo Pin’s figure at a rapid pace.

Left with no choice, Luo Pin withdrew her fist, and countless light shadows from behind her kept smashing the stones flying towards her.

Watching Luo Ming continuously smash through the stones without a hint of anxiety, his blood-red gaze intensified, his hands reaching for the sky as more stones appeared in his grasp.

“Mount Tai Pressure!”

Luo Pin could no longer maintain her originally graceful demeanor, sweat dripped continuously from her forehead, and her gentle, long hair now completely clung to her beautiful face.

But the hungry shadow behind her dared not hesitate, only able to passively break the incoming stones.

Luo Ming played a cat-and-mouse game, summoning more stones to fly toward Luo Pin every time she shattered all of them, in an endless cycle.

The True Qi inside Luo Pin’s body was running low, yet the Demonic Qi around Luo Ming still appeared solidified.

“This can’t go on.”

Her clothes were now soaked with sweat, clinging to her body in an uncomfortable way, but the stones flying towards her completely obscured Luo Ming’s figure, leaving her no good opportunity to counterattack for the moment.

“Long Yan, you need to hurry up.”

On the other hand, standing in the air, Long Yan was astonished as he faced Ling Yu.

Despite Bai Xiaosheng mobilizing countless people to search for Ling Yu, he had not been found, but now he had appeared on his own.

“Long Yan…

die!”

Ling Yu’s eyes blazed crimson, and surges of Demonic Qi emerged around him.

He charged at Long Yan like a shell fired at high velocity.

With no choice left, Long Yan summoned the Demon Spear.

Ling Yu’s position blocked Long Yan’s path forward, confirming Long Yan’s suspicion that the person controlling Ling Yu was the same as the one controlling Luo Ming.

A faint sense of fear rose in Long Yan’s heart, wondering what kind of entity could grant such immense Demonic Qi to two geniuses.

“Bloodthirsty Frenzied Assault!”

Ling Yu’s sword technique, infused with masses of Demonic Qi, had enveloped Long Yan.

The Sword Qi swirling around carried a scent of blood, and Long Yan, with the Demon Spear in hand, did not dare to pause even for a moment, deflecting the pressing Sword Qi.

Long Yan clenched his teeth tightly.

Luo Pin was still struggling desperately on her end; he had to resolve this battle quickly.

“Sweeping Thousands of Troops!”

Long Yan cut through the Sword Qi in front of him with the Demon Spear, creating an opening through which he flew out.

With the Demon Spear aimed directly at Ling Yu’s throat, Long Yan discovered that he couldn’t pierce through the surrounding Demonic Qi.

His spear felt like it stabbed into a mass of black mud, and no matter how hard he thrust, it couldn’t progress further.

Just as Long Yan sensed trouble brewing, Ling Yu reached out and grabbed the spearhead of the Demon Spear in front of him.

In an instant, that white palm was pierced by the Demon Spear.

As fresh blood fell upon the Demon Spear, its shaft flashed a blood-colored light, greedily absorbing Ling Yu’s blood.

Alarm bells rang in Long Yan’s mind as Ling Yu’s other hand, crackling with Demonic Qi, thrust a long sword mercilessly into Long Yan’s abdomen.

“Got you.”

A spark of clarity flashed through Ling Yu’s otherwise dull gaze, the smile on his face appearing somewhat terrifying.

His handsome face was now completely distorted.

Long Yan’s eyes narrowed sharply, his figure turning into an afterimage in midair.

Ling Yu’s sword had just stabbed into nothing but the air.

His figure appeared behind Ling Yu, with the Dragon Tooth raised high, aiming to decapitate Ling Yu in one fell swoop, but things did not go as he had planned.

Ling Yu’s long sword met Long Yan’s killing blow in a bizarre angle, and his entire body twisted, turning from having his back to Long Yan to facing him outright, as if he were a piece of white paper.

“This…”

Long Yan had not expected Ling Yu to still have this trick up his sleeve, and he retreated four to five steps through the air.

Nonchalantly throwing away his Long Spear, Ling Yu casually twisted his neck as if the person whose body had just contorted was not him.

At the same time, Long Yan made a decision.

Judging by Ling Yu’s actions, he was no longer human, so there was no need for Long Yan to hold back any longer.

Not giving Long Yan any time to think, Ling Yu transformed into a blood-colored light, his long sword firing like a rapid cannon, surrounding Long Yan with countless Sword Shadows.

Ling Yu’s speed had doubled from before, and the air was filled with the sounds of metal clashing, sparks flying everywhere.

Long Yan bit down hard on his teeth, his Dragon Tooth constantly clashing with Ling Yu’s long sword.

Their figures, like two bolts of lightning, collided and then separated again and again.

“Black Flame Prison.”

A black flame light orb materialized in Long Yan’s right hand.
