Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Counterkill

"No wonder he dared to offend so many in the Outer Court, he does have some ability!"

Zhong Bin looked at Mo Wangchen and snorted coldly. Then, his arm shook violently and the tingling sensation vanished instantly.

Inside him, the aura of the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm burst forth entirely. This time, without any reservations, he launched forward with a fierce step, darting towards Mo Wangchen.

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Bin reached Mo Wangchen. With one hand transformed into a palm, the fierce breath caused the space to tremble slightly as he ferociously struck towards Mo Wangchen’s chest.

Mo Wangchen’s gaze sharpened, yet there was no trace of fear on his face. His body swiftly sidestepped to avoid Zhong Bin’s attack. Then, his hand shaped into a claw, grabbing towards Zhong Bin’s arm. A sharp aura erupted from his fingertips, like the massive claw of a ferocious tiger, aiming to tear Zhong Bin’s arm apart.

Seeing this, Zhong Bin’s expression changed drastically. He had no doubt that if Mo Wangchen’s claw struck, his own arm would be torn to shreds.

In the flash of a moment, the momentum inside him surged, and a vast Spiritual Power spread to his arm, enveloping it entirely.

Bang!

A colossal force erupted, instantly flinging Mo Wangchen’s approaching hand away.

Mo Wangchen slightly furrowed his eyebrows. He could feel some numbness in his palm. After all, Zhong Bin was a high-level master of the third level of the Spirit Transformation Realm. It wouldn’t be easy to prevail.

After the unsuccessful strike, Mo Wangchen stepped back, causing the ground to crack open, and he quickly retreated to increase the distance.

Zhong Bin snorted coldly, his body burst forward, chasing after him.

"Today you are destined to die here. Rest assured, after you die, I will throw your body to the Monster Beasts of the Moyun Mountain Range. By then, not even a complete corpse will remain. Even if the Academy investigates, the best conclusion will be that you died from a Monster Beast’s ferocious bite!"

A cold smile appeared on Zhong Bin’s face. As he spoke, the distance between him and Mo Wangchen quickly closed. "Ice Condensing Spear!"

As his words dropped, a slight fluctuation of Spiritual Power occurred in front of Zhong Bin. The next moment, an ice spear formed from condensed Spiritual Power slowly emerged and then stabbed towards Mo Wangchen.

Swoosh!

The ice spear pierced through the void with incredible speed, emitting a piercing sound of tearing wind, aimed directly at Mo Wangchen’s head.

Mo Wangchen’s expression changed, and he let out a low roar. A terrifying aura began brewing fiercely on his palm.

"Xuanlong Palm!"

He struck forward fiercely with his palm, and the powerful Palm Power formed a storm of Spiritual Power, roaring like a hurricane.

Crack! Crack!

The ice spear suddenly paused mid-air as if hit by a massive force, shaking violently, and then visibly exploded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ssss!

The ice spear completely shattered, turning into countless ice shards, scattering in all directions.

"If you want to kill me, then be prepared to be killed by me in return!"

As Zhong Bin was still immersed in shock, he suddenly heard the chilling voice of Mo Wangchen. He looked over, and his expression changed dramatically.

He saw Mo Wangchen point from afar, the space vibrated, creating ripples. Zhong Bin then felt an extreme and fierce aura silently descend, a dreadful killing intent rushing towards him.

Swoosh!

A streak of Finger Light, as if piercing through the Void, flew like a meteor and arrived in front of Zhong Bin in the blink of an eye.

The speed of this move was so fast that Zhong Bin had no time to react. As he circulated the breath within his body, a thick Energy Barrier enveloped him. However, facing the terrifying incoming Finger Light, the barrier seemed utterly useless and was penetrated in an instant.

Whoosh!

After breaking through the barrier, the Finger Light did not lessen in force and completely pierced through Zhong Bin’s chest, leaving a ghastly bloody hole!

Ugh!

Zhong Bin’s body jerked violently, and blood poured out of his mouth. His eyes widened as he stared at the bloody hole in his chest, his gaze gradually becoming blurred. The life force within him quickly faded, and eventually, he collapsed backward.

Even until the moment of his death, Zhong Bin could not believe that he had actually died at the hands of an Outer Court Disciple who had just broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Watching Zhong Bin’s body fall, Mo Wangchen’s eyes were filled with coldness. If the other party wanted to kill him, he naturally would not hold back.

What surprised Mo Wangchen was that he didn’t expect his move, Silent Killing Finger, to be so powerful that it instantly penetrated a Spirit Transformation Realm third-layer Protective Barrier.

However, at this moment, Mo Wangchen’s breathing also grew slightly heavy. Silent Killing Finger was a High-Level Xuan Rank Martial Technique, and each use consumed a great deal of energy. Now, his Spiritual Power was almost completely depleted!

"It seems that in the future, unless I’m absolutely sure I can kill the opponent, I shouldn’t use it lightly."

If he used Silent Killing Finger and failed to kill the opponent, exhausting his own Spiritual Power would be very dangerous.

"This man wanted to kill me, so even if the Academy investigates, I merely acted in self-defense. Still, to prevent some people from targeting me, it would be better to dispose of his body..."

Saying this, Mo Wangchen dragged his somewhat heavy feet, wanting to walk towards Zhong Bin’s body.

"Hm?!"

However, at that moment, he turned as if sensing something, his brow furrowed. "Someone’s here!"

Zip!

Without a second thought, Mo Wangchen leapt up and hid in the dense forest, then swiftly ran off, disappearing from sight.

"There was a sound of fighting coming from over here, what happened?"

Shortly after Mo Wangchen left, four young men emerged.

One of them said unconcernedly, "It might be someone attacked by a Monster Beast..."

"Hm?"

However, before he could finish speaking, he spotted a corpse on the ground not far away. The expressions of all four changed, and they hurried over.

"It’s Zhong Bin!"

These four were all Disciples of the Inner Court, responsible for the peacekeeping mission. Attracted by the fighting here and seeing Zhong Bin lying here, their expressions immediately changed.

"This wound doesn’t look like it was made by a Monster Beast..."

One of the older men, upon seeing the bloody hole in Zhong Bin’s chest, furrowed his brow. "Was this foul play?"

"We must report this to the Elders. A Disciple of the Academy, especially one from the Inner Court, dying here is no small matter!" another said.

"Who exactly killed him? Zhong Bin was at the third layer of Spirit Transformation Realm. Could the person who made the move also be a Disciple of the Inner Court?!" The oldest man frowned and then continued, "Let’s carry him away and let the Elders take a look!"
