Chapter 1133: The Copper Thug's Death
"No! No! Of course not!" Seeing the Gold Thug sweep his sharp gaze towards him, horror dawned on the Yin Yang Sect elder who was being locked so he quickly shook his head in denial.
However, his clarification had come too late.
Whoosh!
The Gold Thug disappeared from his spot, and when he reappeared once again, he was already standing in front of him.
Boom!
Vast energy gushed out from the Gold Thug's body and poured out like the tide. Before the Yin Yang Sect elder realized what was happening, his entire person was already drowned in it.
For a moment, before the Yin Yang Sect elder could even shout out loud, he had already been completely wiped out and reduced to a state of dust, leaving only a Spatial Ring that dropped from the air gradually.
A Fourth Level Martial Monarch Stage martial artist had been instantly annihilated in just a second!
This was the power of a Sixth Level Martial Monarch Stage!
Upon seeing this scene, horror instantly dawned on everybody on the swift boat, other than Duan Ling Tian, Feng Tian Wu and the three other thugs of the Four Southern River Thugs, particularly the other Yin Yang Sect elder who had just witnessed the Gold Thug killing his companion and was now holding on to the Spatial Ring that his dead companion had left behind. Without any hesitation —
Flee!
With a flash of his body, he immediately escaped outside of the swift boat.
However, would he be able to escape?
Putting aside his Profundity, just the strength his Origin Energy of the Fourth Level Martial Monarch Stage alone was 2,000 ancient horned dragons weaker than the Sixth Level Martial Monarch Stage martial artist.
Did he really want to flee in front of a Sixth Level Martial Monarch Stage with such a huge difference in their strength?
Boom!
Without any suspense, the remaining Yin Yang Sect elder was also annihilated by the Gold Thug in an instant, following the footstep of his companion. After he died, his remaining Spatial Ring had also disappeared in the hands of the Gold Thug.
"Flee!"
"Flee!"
...
Seeing the two Yin Yang Sect elders being wiped away, aghast sank in the rest of the remaining people. With a shout, they scrammed and fled in all directions even though they were not sure whether they would successfully escape or not. However, they knew that if they did not flee, they would definitely die!
When some of these people left the swift boat, they were instantly swallowed by the powerful gravitational pull of the Ruo Shui River and lost their lives completely. The remaining people turned pale right away as they were reminded of just how terrifying the river water of the Ruo Shui River was.
For a moment, a group of panicked people remained in the swift boat obediently while looking in despair at the Gold Thug and the two Silver Thugs who were glaring at them hungrily.
Nobody moved at all in the swift boat, not even Duan Ling Tian and Xiong Quan.
"You... are worthy to be my, the Copper Thug's, woman!" Just as the swift boat was somehow gloomy, a voice resonated and attracted the attention of everybody.
It was the Copper Thug from the Four Southern River Thugs who was speaking to Feng Tian Wu.
However, the reply that he obtained was a sharp and swift sword being brandished by Feng Tian Wu.
Swish!
A tyrannical crimson red flame skyrocketed from a five-foot-long red flexible sword, that was like a fiery red spirit snake and soon transformed to become a fiery dragon that bared its fangs at the Copper Thug.
At the same time, a series of ear-piercing detonations erupted in the air where the fiery dragon swooped past. After the air flow in the air was squeezed and pressed, it rebounded, and scorching airwaves gushed out.
For a moment, the crowd on the swift boat was once again enveloped by a hot hurricane.
However, right now, none of the people had the state of mind to be concerned about this, let alone watch the battle between Feng Tian Wu and the Copper Thug.
Right then, they were all looking anxiously at the Gold Thug and the two Silver Thugs in the distance. Their feeble lives were now in the hands of these three.
If these three decided to kill them, none of them would be able to escape.
"Relax, before my Fourth Brother manages to tame his future wife, we won't make any move on you guys at all... We still want all of you to be the witness for our Fourth Brother," the Gold Thug spoke without warning, his voice filled with delightful laughter.
"That's right!' The two Silver Thugs nodded their heads as well. Just like the Gold Thug, their attention was on the Copper Thug and Feng Tian Wu who had already started their battle. The two were locked in the midst of a tight battle now.
"This sister-in-law of ours is pretty amazing! Just a mere First Level Martial Monarch Stage and she has already comprehended such powerful Fire and Sword Profundities!" One of the Silver Thugs watched for a while before commenting in astonishment.
"With just the cultivation base of First Level Martial Monarch Stage, she's able to mobilize the Heaven and Earth Energy together to become the strength of one ancient black dragon. With such power, she mustn't be human," the other Silver Thug piped in.
"Whether she's human or not doesn't matter as long as Fourth Brother is fond of her," the Gold Thug chimed in.
The Gold Thug and the two Silver Thugs were casually exchanging conversation with each other, but the people on the swift boat, on the other hand, were in great torment.
However, when they realized that they would not die for right now, they also looked at the direction where the trio was staring and watched the man and woman who were engaged in battle.
The woman in red moved like a flame. Each of her attacks seemed as though she had vanished before their eyes.
Whoosh!
A series of sword slicing sounds that disappeared as soon as they appeared struck their ears like the roar of thunder.
The golden-robed middle-aged man held on to a sword breaker in each of his hands. With his every movement, the sword breakers were wielded with such great force that it set off a series of wind. When they were lashed out and retracted, it was as though they formed a far-flung net that enveloped the woman in red.
Each of them had a silhouette of an ancient black dragon above the two of their head with several thousand silhouettes of ancient horned dragons as well.
"How powerful!"
"I can't believe that she's actually this strong!
"Exactly, this woman is really amazing to be able to fight to a stalemate with the Copper Thug!"
"It's such a pity that the Copper Thug is the weakest among the Four Southern River Thugs. Even if she really is able to defeat the Copper Thug, she still can't fight against the other three thugs and save us all."
...
The group of people who were originally praising Feng Tian Wu slowly had their hopes diminished when they reached the end of their conversation, and they soon gave up all hope completely.
"Young Master, can Miss Tian Wu defeat him?" Xiong Quan was watching the big battle before his eyes with a glum expression. As a First Level Martial Monarch Stage, he could faintly see the two swift movements.
"Of course!" Duan Ling Tian, who was watching the battle as well, nodded his head with full confidence.
The copper-robed middle-aged man, the Copper Thug, had a cultivation base of the Third Level Martial Monarch Stage. When his Origin Energy was fully unleashed, it was equivalent to the strength of 4,000 ancient horned dragons.
Along with the boost from the grade one spirit weapon in his hands, it could give him a strength boost of about 3,500 ancient horned dragons.
In addition, he had comprehended one Third Level Monarch Stage Profundity and two Ninth Level Void Transformation Concepts. The former was equal to the strength of 4,000 ancient horned dragons while the latter had a force of 2,000 ancient horned dragons in total.
For this reason, the strength that was contained in the double sword breaker that he wielded had a power of one ancient black dragon added up together with about another 3,500 ancient horned dragons.
"Tian Wu's cultivation base is on the First Level Martial Monarch Stage. Her Origin Energy has the strength of 2,000 ancient horned dragons. The Quasi Royal Grade Spirit Sword gives a boost of strength of 2,000 ancient horned dragons. Along with the Fourth Level Monarch Stage Fire and Sword Profundities that she has comprehended, it's equal to the strength of one ancient black dragon. When she unleashes her full potential, she can cast the strength of one ancient black dragon and 4,000 ancient horned dragons. She is about 500 ancient horned dragons stronger than the Copper Thug." When everybody on the scene had their attention locked upon Feng Tian Wu and the Copper Thug, Duan Ling Tian had clearly seen through the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon above the Copper Thug's head.
He could see that because of the strength difference of a mere 500 ancient horned dragons along with the Third Level Monarch Stage Profundity that the Copper Thug comprehended, he could faintly suppress Tian Wu a little.
It was hard for Tian Wu to gain her victory in a head-on clash, so all that she could do now was to wait for the opportunity to present itself.
An opportunity to unleash her deathblow.
For this reason, she deliberately engaged in a tangled fight with the Copper Thug,
"Haha, Fourth Brother, don't tell me you can't even control your future wife?" The Gold Thug laughed out loud.
"That's right, Fourth Brother! If you can't get my sister-in-law in control and need my help, just let me know, alright?!"
"Exactly! However, as your brothers, we can only help you now, you know. When it's time for you two to consummate your marriage, we can't do anything to help you anymore if you still can't keep her in control," the other two Silver Thugs mocked.
The Copper Thug was so exasperated that his face was thoroughly flushed. The attack on his hand became more vicious as time went by, forcing Feng Tian Wu to retreat backward as though she was now at a disadvantageous position.
The words of the three thugs were clearly heard by Duan Ling Tian, causing his face to darken even more.
Whoosh!
In the end, he no longer could stand it anymore as he abruptly stood up.
His move took Xiong Quan by surprise, causing him to follow suit as well.
Just as the Origin Energy in Duan Ling Tian's body rolled and was about to charge out...
Swish!
There was a slicing sound that disappeared as soon as it appeared suddenly resonated. It was far more condensed and swifter than the sword slicing sound earlier.
"Fourth Brother!" At the same time, Duan Ling Tian heard the shrill cry of the Gold Thug and the two Silver Thugs.
Duan Ling Tian looked over right away.
Pssst!
Feng Tian Wu had finally found her opportunity. With a brandish of her sword, she pierced it through the Copper Thug's chest without a hitch like a fiery phoenix that charged out swiftly.
The next moment, the Copper Thug's body was split into two before it was burnt into ashes.
The moment Duan Ling Tian saw this scene, his eyes lit up right away.
"S-She killed the Copper Thug?!" At first, the people on the swift boat were stunned with disbelief creeping up on their faces. Very soon, the color drained from their faces.
"With this action of hers, the Gold Thug and the Silver Thugs will never let go of her!" After the crowds returned to their senses, they looked at Feng Tian Wu with a pitiful look.
In their opinions, Feng Tian Wu, whose strength was just a notch higher than the Copper Thug's, would not be able to defeat any of the three strongest people in the Four Southern River Thugs, let alone defeat the three of them together at the same time.
Just as they thought, when the Gold Thug and the Silver Thugs witnessed the scene whereby the Copper Thug was killed, they stood there in shock as a milky-white flame started to rise wantonly from their bodies.
The three pairs of eyes were immediately dyed with a crimson red as they gleamed with a chilling killing intention like they were about to devour a certain somebody.
"You bitch! How dare you kill our Fourth Brother!? You'll need to pay with your own life!" One of the Silver Thugs cried bitterly as he charged towards Feng Tian Wu. When he was still halfway from her, the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon above his head had already undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
The silhouettes of 6,000 ancient horned dragons quickly dissipated and transformed to become that of one ancient black dragon along with many ancient horned dragons.
As a narrow saber appeared in his hand, the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon changed again.
In the end, there was a total of one silhouette of an ancient black dragon and over 7,000 ancient horned dragons.
Fourth Level Void Transformation Stage!
Fourth Level Martial Monarch Profundity!
Two Ninth Level Void Transformation Concepts!
A grade two spirit saber!
— and this was the Silver Thug who was the weaker one.
However, with the strength that he displayed, it far surpassed Feng Tian Wu's.
