Inside the Ice Tower, Aotian already suspected that Niu Geng might be unable to cultivate Mystical Energy due to his Bloodline.
However, because of his Bloodline, Niu Geng's physical strength was exceptionally terrifying. Even at this moment, if Aotian were to fight Niu Geng relying solely on physical power, the outcome would undoubtedly be more losses than wins.
Now witnessing Niu Geng fully unleashing his physical strength to strike at the figure in the black robe, Aotian's eyes flashed with intensity as he focused on the two not far away. On one hand, he wanted to prevent any accidents from happening to Niu Geng. On the other hand, he aimed to uncover the mysterious identity of the black-robed figure.
For some reason, this black-robed person gave him a familiar feeling. Therefore, Aotian concluded that he must have encountered this person before.
On the other side, when the black-robed figure saw Niu Geng's punch coming towards him, he was slightly taken aback.
Immediately, his hands formed seals, and a dense black mist surged violently from within him, wrapping around Niu Geng.
The black mist was filled with a sense of death and also contained an evil power. This evil force seemed capable of affecting one's mind, appearing extremely sinister.
Yet, Niu Geng's fighting spirit grew even hotter; a thick black light shot out from his fist. The black light bore no trace of evil power; instead, it had a somewhat profound quality.
The black mist pouring out from the black-robed figure surrounded Niu Geng from all directions. However, whenever the mist came into contact with the illumination of the black light on Niu Geng's fist, it melted away like ice meeting fierce fire, accompanied by a thick wisp of smoke rising.
Thus, the black mist enveloping Niu Geng could not hinder him. Niu Geng's fist smashed through the mist like a hot knife through butter and struck heavily against the chest of the black-robed figure.
Instantly, a muffled groan escaped from the throat of the black-robed figure, and crimson blood seeped out from beneath his dark cloak.
Aotian's gaze flickered; he knew that after taking Niu Geng's punch, the black-robed figure would undoubtedly be in a bad state. Originally, he had already sustained considerable injuries from colliding with Aotian; now being hit by Niu Geng was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.
"You all deserve to die..." After a long pause, the black-robed figure rasped out these words, but his tone was laced with deep resentment.
Aotian and Niu Geng exchanged glances, their expressions shifting slightly as they cautiously regarded the black-robed figure.
The cultivation and strength of the black-robed figure were quite extraordinary; he practiced a rare Death Attribute Mystical Energy. If he were to act recklessly in desperation, even Aotian and Niu Geng combined would find it difficult to handle.
Both Aotian and Niu Geng were well aware of this. However, if they let this black-robed figure go now, they would surely face greater troubles in the future. After all, it was clear that this individual intended to make enemies of both Aotian and Niu Geng.
Thus, both Aotian and Niu Geng could only proceed with utmost caution and vigilance. Only by doing so could they hope to subdue this black-robed figure at minimal cost.
"Let me see who this sneaky fellow really is!"
Niu Geng shouted, then charged at the figure in the black robe, his right hand transforming into a claw aimed directly at the black cloak on the figure's head.
The black-robed figure took a slight step back, and then his right leg transformed into a massive blade, striking down towards Niu Geng's claw with heavy force.
The power behind the black-robed figure's kick was immense, causing the air around him to be forcefully pushed aside.
As he watched the leg coming towards him, Niu Geng remained unfazed. He simply transformed his claw into a fist and struck fiercely at the black-robed figure's thigh with tremendous momentum.
Niu Geng's physical strength was formidable; if that punch landed, Aotian had no doubt that the black-robed figure's leg would be crippled.
However, the black-robed figure was clearly aware of his current injuries and knew he could not exert his full strength. If he clashed head-on with Niu Geng, he would likely be the one to suffer.
Thinking this, the black-robed figure slightly tilted his body, abruptly halting the kick aimed at Niu Geng. Instead, he pushed off the ground with great force, propelling himself backward.
Niu Geng's punch hit nothing but air, yet the air itself exploded from the sheer force of it. One could imagine how ferocious Niu Geng's punch was.
Before the black-robed figure could stop retreating, he suddenly noticed a figure that, while not particularly large, appeared like a grim reaper materializing before him.
"Aotian?!"
The black-robed figure was startled; he hadn't expected Aotian to strike suddenly.
Upon hearing his name from the black-robed figure, Aotian felt even more certain that this person had indeed encountered him before.
Without any hesitation, Aotian slammed his palm down onto the black-robed figure's cloak.
Aotian's strike was immensely powerful, with gusts of wind swirling as if to tear apart everything in front of him.
Underneath the cloak, the black-robed figure's expression changed instantly. He realized that if his identity were exposed, it would cause a massive uproar. There would likely be no place for him to hide in all of Fengyun Nation.
Due to practicing the incomplete version of the Stunning Dragon Movement Technique, Aotian's speed was extremely fast. The man in the black robe knew that he was severely injured at this moment, and trying to escape Aotian's strike with speed was undoubtedly a delusion.
Thus, he instinctively raised his arm to block Aotian's palm as it struck his cloak.
A cold smile flashed in Aotian's eyes, and then he fiercely struck the man's arm.
With a crack, the sound of bones breaking echoed from beneath the black robe, and the violent palm wind directly tore the man's cloak into countless fragments.
The man's face was instantly exposed to the air.
"Martin?!"
Two incredulous voices came from Aotian and Niu Geng.
This mysterious man in the black robe turned out to be Martin, ranked tenth in the Inner Courtyard Rankings of Xuantian Academy?!
No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity; hadn't they met at the trading fair? Although their encounter had not been pleasant.
But was this Martin really going to kill him over such trivial matters? Moreover, wasn't Martin ranked tenth in the Inner Courtyard Rankings? Why did his strength seem to surpass even Mo Gang? Was he biding his time? But why would he endure like this? What ulterior motives could he have? If he wasn't biding his time and had recently gained such strength, how could his power have surged so terrifyingly?
One question after another swirled in Aotian's mind. He suddenly felt an invisible vortex seemingly surrounding him, or rather, Xuantian Academy.
"Kekeke, since you two fools know my identity, you must leave your lives here in Wanchong Mountain today!" A sinister smile crept onto Martin's face.
"Martin, have you lost your mind?! Don't you realize who has the upper hand right now?!" Niu Geng looked at Martin with disdain.
Although Martin's strength exceeded Niu Geng's expectations, Niu Geng did not believe that Martin could turn the tide under these circumstances.
A mocking expression instantly spread across Martin's face. He then wiped his Storage Ring, and suddenly a pitch-black orb appeared in his hand.
When Aotian saw the pitch-black bead in Martin's hand, his hair stood on end, and an overwhelming sense of danger enveloped his mind.
"Kekeke, you two country bumpkins probably don't know what this is, do you? Let me tell you, this is the Dark Pearl, a unique treasure from my organization. Now, I'll show you its power!"
Martin pinched the dark bead between his fingers and then threw it towards Aotian and Niu Geng.
"Explode!"
With Martin's cold shout, the pitch-black bead immediately exploded, and a black Light Barrier surged out from it, enveloping Aotian and Niu Geng within.
Aotian and Niu Geng stood back to back, vigilantly scanning their surroundings. However, all they could see were the dark Light Barriers, with no exit in sight.
Niu Geng gathered all his strength and struck the black Light Barrier, trying to break through with brute force. Yet, the Light Barrier remained standing firm, showing no signs of damage where Niu Geng had hit it.
The expressions on Niu Geng and Aotian changed drastically. The former was well aware of the power behind his punch; he could easily shatter a boulder. However, when he struck the Light Barrier, it didn't even tremble, causing him to feel a sense of panic.
Suppressing his anxiety, Aotian spoke up:
"Martin, it seems you've prepared well to deal with us!"
Aotian knew that although this Light Barrier was strange, Martin could hear what he was saying.
Sure enough, Martin's voice came through the Light Barrier:
"You're overestimating me, Aotian. But to deal with someone like you, ranked fourth in the Inner Courtyard Rankings, I really had to go through a lot of trouble. If I can't kill you now, I won't be able to face Master when I return."
"So this so-called Dark Pearl is from the Underworld Society, right? I never expected that their influence would reach inside Xuantian Academy!” Aotian's tone turned somewhat grim.
Martin's pupils constricted slightly; he knew very well that if his identity were exposed, Xuantian Academy would not let him off easily. After all, the enmity between the Underworld Society and Xuantian Academy had existed for a long time.
However, thinking about the terror of the Dark Pearl, Martin suppressed his fear and sneered:
"I didn't expect you, a country bumpkin, to know about the Underworld Society. That's right, I am indeed a member of the Underworld Society. I came to Xuantian Academy to overthrow this damn academy!"
"Martin, do you really think this broken Light Barrier can stop me?" Aotian's tone was filled with calmness, and this calmness suddenly stirred an ominous premonition in Martin's heart.
However, Martin did not believe that Aotian could break through this Light Barrier. He had a blind confidence in his organization.
"Let's see if you can come out first!" Martin sneered.
"If I'm not mistaken, this so-called Dark Pearl is a one-time treasure? And the existence of this Light Barrier is also time-limited. Once the time is up, this Light Barrier will automatically shatter," Aotian said confidently.
Aotian knew that a one-time treasure could only be used once. After using it, the treasure would be rendered useless.
However, such treasures were extremely powerful and far superior to ordinary treasures. In Fengyun Nation, the occurrences of one-time treasures were few and far between.
Martin gave a cold smile and said, "Aotian, since the Underworld Society has refined the Dark Pearl, it naturally has other uses. You should feel the changes within your body..."
