I Am The Young Master-Chapter 118 - Guanyu

——(POV third person, where Li Huang blasted Jin Fen)——

Li Huang handled Jin Fen easily but it was because he went for the overkill. He used 20 scrolls for him whilst even a gargantuan ape would be dead by the time he is blasting the fourth scroll at it. Scrolls aside, the piercing finger of the [Eclipse devourer] sword art is nothing to scoff at as even one could prove to be fatal if it is directed to the right location on the body.

[Soul Scorcher] was the last thing that Li Huang used and he used it to seal Jin Fen's fate. He got his hands on it just before the trial as the Li family contacted him to provide him with anything that he might need and Li Huang used that chance to get his hands on this treasure.

The Li Family has a couple of these treasures but it is not something that they use normally so Li Huang was lucky that the family is holding him in high regard and easily complied with his request without asking much. Li Huang could buy such treasure in an auction but the situation wouldn't give him enough time so he went with using his family.

'Let's see what we have here.' With a motion of his hand, Li Huang moved Jin Fen's rings into his palm. As he didn't like to touch a dead body he did so with the help of his Qi to move the rings.

The first ring was the teleportation ring that Jin Fen got in the trial. Examining the runes on it Li Huang could guess how this ring worked and it was a really good harvest as this ring was capable of teleporting you to anywhere in ten times the radius of your Qi sense.

'So that is why we couldn't find him when he ran away.' Li Huang thought. At that time his Qi sense could locate at least twice as far as Jin Fen could but if this ring teleported him to that sort of distance it is natural for him to go undetected.

There is of course a limitation on this ring as you can only teleport every half an hour or so. So you can't just spam teleport to get away from dangers one after another. There is also a charge phase for it to work but Li Huang understood that this phase only happens when your cultivation realm is not sufficient. For Li Huang who is on the fifth stage of the meridian formation realm and has stabilized four main meridians, this phase was almost nonexistent and he only had to worry about the delay between each use. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

Li Huang put the ring on for now as he had free fingers. Now his eyes went to the storage ring that Jin Fen had on him. Jin Fen had only one storage ring on him and this was it.

Looking through the ring Li Huang found some basic stuff that he didn't care much about. It didn't take long for him to find the rewards that Jin Fen has found in this trial and he was glad that Jin Fen had this luck as all the things that he found in this trial are from a high grade and can help him in the future. Li Huang didn't waste much time on checking every single item in the ring as he could do so in the future and checked other parts of the storage ring until he found the blue orb that Jin Fen had stolen from the formation.

Li Huang didn't risk taking it out as he was sure that the trial would detect it so he put this ring on his finger too as he still needed to sort the items inside.

Right at this moment, he felt pressure from where Jin Fen's corpse was laying on the ground, and without any delay, he took out the [Mirror of Reckoning] to stop whatever attack was coming toward him. The attack was so fast that this was all Li Huang could do before the Qi of that attack slammed to the mirror.

Li Huang was thrown backward from the sheer power of this attack and he only dropped on the ground a couple of hundred meters away from his original spot.

The mirror did its work and reflected a big chunk of the attack back to the sender but it couldn't reflect all of it as Li Huang couldn't control it.

The sound of this attack and the reflection was heard throughout the battlefield and everyone heard it. They were resting as they just finished the horde so this powerful attack made everyone worried that a powerful beast is still alive so they got up and ran toward the source of the explosion.

Li Huang who was literally shot through the battlefield got up as the defensive treasures that he had on absorbed most of the impact and he was relatively fine. He was weirded out by the fact that Jin Fen didn't die even after he destroyed his soul.

'How in the world?' He thought.

——(POV third person, Heavenly sword sect, Li Long)——

Li Long was meditating to calm his mind when he felt that a large portion of the Qi that he used to refine the [Mirror of Reckoning] for Li Huang was used. He opened his eyes and got out of his courtyard with haste.

The [Mirror of Reckoning] is an item that is very strong and anything that can make the mirror use such a big portion of Qi is really strong and leagues beyond Li Huang so Li Long was really worried and couldn't just sit and let this proceed.

He had done so once before when Li Huang's parents were in trouble that he thought would prove to be something routine and after that, they couldn't find even a trace of them in the whole world no matter how much money and experts they used throughout these years. The only reason that Li Long can go on is that he knows that his son and his daughter-in-law are still alive from what their soul jade has shown him all these years.

But he can't be careless this time too as he doesn't know how he can go on if something were to happen to Li Huang.

"Patriarch!" some of the elders that saw Li Long running through the sect cupped their fists and bowed to him. They were shell-shocked by this as they didn't know what could make their always calm patriarch act this way.

"I am going to the [Eternal Wail Chasm], handle the sect matters in my absence." Li Long said as he moved as fast as he could and once he was outside the sect he used his personal flying treasure to get there as fast as possible.

——(POV third person, eternal wail trial, Li Huang)——

Li Huang got ready for the follow-up of the previous attack but nothing came.

On the other side, Jin Fen's corpse slowly stood as the hole in his chest started filling up with a dark red substance. His hand and face were slowly growing back in the same manner and Jin Fen's eye changed color to red and even the way he carried himself changed.

It didn't take a genius to know that this wasn't Jin Fen but someone else. Jin Fen was arrogant but his arrogance was baseless but this new person act as if it is only natural for others to bow down to him.

Li Huang was thinking about a plan to defeat this new enemy as he could see that he is more powerful than him and he can't just blast him with scrolls and hope for the best.

The person with Jin Fen's body grinned as he was walking slowly toward Li Huang. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

"That little toy of yours could affect that boy's soul but all it did to mine was to give me a chance to gain control." The man said. He used the moment that Jin Fen's soul was erased to gain control of the body and come back to life.

"Who are you?" Li Huang asked as he was on guard. He was stalling for time as he knew others would come here too and he might find an opening in this man's guard at that time. With the way this man carried himself, Li Huang was sure that he would answer his question as this man could see himself winning regardless of any tricks that Li Huang would try to pull.

"As you have made it easier for me to come back to life I guess I can answer your question." The man nodded to himself.

"I am known as Guanyu the evil god." Guanyu spread his hands and said.

"Years ago some bastards tried to kill me and as a result, a part of my soul was thrown into this plane where you live." Guanyu said with venom in his words.
