Liu Huang’s power level might not have been equal to the Second Nightking’s, as he was much younger than the ancient powerhouse, but Liu Huang was definitely more important than the Second Nightking. He was someone who could never be allowed to escape from Gaia’s Swamp as his mere existence was proof of the Hall of Honor’s dark side.
Black clouds of death energy floated past the Second Nightking. His limbs were chained up, and the chains extended deep into the ground.
He had only recently been imprisoned, and his eyes were still filled with anger and resentment.
He had spent countless years cultivating within the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins. Not many people were capable of continuously extending their lifespan like he had with the Celestial Frost Pond’s water. He was even more powerful than the First Nightking, and the Second Nightking had been confident that he could carry the Daynight clan to even greater heights than ever before. However, he had instead witnessed the defeat of his Daynight clan. Upon his return, he had seen the ruined ancestral tablet and the destroyed Nightking Planet. Then, he had been sent to Gaia’s Swamp before he could even get his revenge. Even his enemy, Lu Yin, pitied the Second Nightking.
However, the man still had not given up, and he was simply waiting for an opportunity. This tiny Gaia’s Swamp could never contain him.
Lord Piggy arrived.
The Second Nightking opened his eyes and saw Lord Piggy, which caused him to frown. Ever since he had been locked up, this pig had stopped by daily to keep an eye on the Second Nightking. Once the pig had realized that the Second Nightking had been absorbing stellular energy, he had used a sourcebox array and caused the true universe to forcefully remove the man’s stellular energy.
If the Second Nightking ever managed to escape from Gaia’s Swamp, he would definitely kill the pig.
Hmm? There’s someone on the pig’s back?
The Second Nightking looked up, and his eyes instantly grew cold. “Lu Yin?”
Lord Piggy cautiously approached the Second Nightking, but he stopped a thousand meters away before fearfully saying, “Alliance Leader Lu, the Second Nightking is too powerful, and he also excels at using spiritual force, so I don’t dare get close. Is it ok if I stay here?”
Lu Yin nodded.
The Second Nightking’s voice rang out, oozing hatred. “Lu Yin, Lu Yin-”
Lu Yin picked at his ears. “I heard you, Senior. How’s Gaia’s Swamp?”
The Second Nightking hated the Hall of Honor, the people from the Neoverse who had killed the First Nightking, the Chief Justice who had sent him to Gaia’s Swamp, and also Lu Yin. No, to be exact, he hated Lu Yin more than anyone else! Lu Yin had destroyed the Daynight clan and exposed the existence of the Celestial Frost Sect’s ruins. If not for this youth, the Second Nightking could have continued training until he reached a level where he no longer needed to be afraid of the Chief Justice, or until he had become a Semi-Progenitor!
If not for Lu Yin, none of this would have occurred. On top of everything, Lu Yin had even deceived the Second Nightking, and the man wished desperately to kill Lu Yin.
The Second Nightking tried to escape from his chains, but his efforts only caused the chains to give off loud clanging sounds. Lu Yin’s eyes grew sharp as he saw a tremendous number of runes surge towards him. The Second Nightking had attacked with spiritual force.
The Chief Justice had destroyed the Second Nightking’s stellular energy vortex, which had drastically decreased the man’s strength, but it was impossible to remove the man’s spiritual force. The Daynight clan had always been peerless when it came to spiritual force battle techniques.
Still, they were in Gaia’s Swamp, and there were sourcebox arrays everywhere. Since the Second Nightking had already been heavily wounded by the Chief Justice, he was incapable of unleashing his spiritual force’s full power, and Lu Yin managed to easily block the attack with an Inception Array.
Lord Piggy retreated the instant the Second Nightking unleashed his spiritual force attack. Goosebumps covered the pig’s entire body. “Let’s go, Alliance Leader Lu! This is too dangerous!”
The chains binding the Second Nightking kept clanging, and they alerted Liu Huang, Can, and the other prisoners in the area. Soon, all of Gaia’s Swamp was roused.
The Warden took another swig of wine, but then turned around and resumed sleeping.
A woman looked towards the prison curiously. “What’s happening?”
The guards in Gaia’s Swamp solemnly moved out to keep an eye on the various prisoners.
Lu Yin leapt off of Lord Piggy’s back, but he did not ask for protection from Liu Ye or Fei Hua. Instead, he started slowly approaching the Second Nightking while reciting the Stonewall Scriptures.
Lord Piggy tried to stop him, but Lu Yin just waved a hand. “It’s fine. I’m just meeting an old friend, so there’s no need to worry.”
Lord Piggy nervously glared at the Second Nightking. He was very worried, as Lu Yin could not be allowed to die at this time and place. Lu Yin was someone who could decide the pig’s future, so the youth absolutely had to stay alive. On top of that, Lord Piggy had been the one to lead Lu Yin to the Second Nightking, so he would absolutely be in deep trouble if Lu Yin died.
Why had the Warden not been the one to lead Lu Yin through the prison? If that had happened, then Lord Piggy would have hoped for the Second Nightking to kill Lu Yin, as that would create trouble for the Warden and give Lord Piggy a chance to become the Warden!
Lu Yin stopped 500 meters away from the Second Nightking. Despite the injuries that the Second Nightking had suffered from the Chief Justice and the sourcebox array, Lu Yin was not able to move any closer without risking being injured himself.
“Come here, Lu Yin! Come here!” the Second Nightking bellowed. He struggled against his chains as a figure suddenly appeared behind him and slashed out at Lu Yin. It was Skybreaker.
Lu Yin’s eyes flashed. “Do you not want the Daynight clan to survive?”
The Second Nightking stopped the Skybreaker and shot a vicious glare at Lu Yin. “What about the Daynight clan? What have you done to them?”
“I didn’t expect you to actually drag down your own clan members,” Lu Yin sneered.
The Second Nightking did care about the other members of his clan, but not to the degree of sacrificing himself, as he was a selfish person. Still, he would not be able to kill Lu Yin even if the Second Nightking possessed his full strength, which meant that such attempts were meaningless.
“What did you do? You were the one to summon the Chief Justice, weren’t you?” the Second Nightking roared.
Lu Yin shrugged. “You overestimate me. How could I summon the Chief Justice?’
“Why are you here? What did you do to the Daynight clan? Are any Nightkings still alive?” the Second Nightking asked.
Lu Yin smiled and activated the Sealed Cage Technique. “Just feel for yourself.”
The Second Nightking frowned and started carefully studying Lu Yin.
Gaia’s Swamp returned to silence.
Lord Piggy stared at Lu Yin in confusion; why was no one moving?
Liu Ye and Fei Hua glanced at each other, as they both were wondering what Lu Yin was about to do.
Emperor Luo was still tied up and had been left on Lord Piggy’s back. He had not said a single word this entire time.
Finally, after quite a while, the Second Nightking asked, “Lu Yin, what are you trying to do?”
Lu Yin frowned. The Second Nightking was too powerful, which made it very difficult for Lu Yin to control him with the Sealed Cage Technique.
The Second Nightking’s eyes flickered.
Lu Yin’s eyes suddenly opened, and he looked at the Second Nightking. The man’s wounds were not terrible enough… Lu Yin would probably only be able to control the man if his injuries were worse.
Lu Yin shrouded his body with his golden battle force and used a Vacuum Palm against the Second Nightking.
The Second Nightking’s body trembled, but he was not wounded badly at all. He yelled, “Boy, you’re trying to get revenge against me!”
Lord Piggy gaped from a distance. “Alliance- Alliance Leader Lu, you don’t have to do that.”
The Second Nightking had already been heavily injured, and he was also a prisoner of Gaia’s Swamp; had Lu Yin simply come to get revenge on the man?
Liu Ye and Fei Hua also felt that Lu Yin’s actions were strange.
Lu Yin felt helpless. The Second Nightking was indeed badly wounded, but he was still a powerhouse comparable to Elder Jiu Shen. Even if the man had not focused on training his physical body, he was still very powerful as his physical strength would naturally increase with every stellular tribulation that he passed. Lu Yin was unable to break through the man’s defenses, and he would actually need some sort of tool or weapon to inflict serious injuries upon the man.
What item could help Lu Yin injure the Second Nightking? He had nothing that would work.
“Liu Ye and Fei Hua, you two go beat him,” Lu Yin said coldly.
The Second Nightking growled as he struggled, “Boy, you’re just insulting me! I’ll kill you!”
Lord Piggy also felt bad about what was happening. “Alliance Leader, there’s no need for this.”
Liu Ye frowned. “Mr Lu, this-”
His pride would not allow him to attack someone incapable of defending themselves, not to mention such a person who was also already heavily injured.
Lu Yin calmly replied, “This is why I asked you to come with me to Gaia’s Swamp with me. Did you think that we were just taking a pleasure trip?”
“Never mind, let’s just do it,” Fei Hua said without any hesitation.
Liu Ye sighed, and the two moved forward and attacked.
Things turned out very differently with Liu Ye and Fei Hua’s attacks. Although the two were not nearly as powerful as the Second Nightking, they were still able to injure him, though only slightly. Lu Yin also joined in with his Vacuum Palm.
Lord Piggy felt repulsed. This Lu Yin was too vicious! The Second Nightking had already been left in such bad condition, but Lu Yin had still come here to get revenge. The pig decided that he would never offend Lu Yin in the future, as this person was clearly too petty.
Lord Piggy reflexively retreated, as he did not want to be involved in any way.
The Second Nightking gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Yin. “Boy, if I manage to escape from this place, I’ll peel your skin off and hang it on Nightking Planet for 10,000 years!”
Lu Yin ignored the man and just continued launching Vacuum Palms. He was also using the Sealed Cage Technique at the same time, attempting to control the Second Nightking.
The three were only able to cause the Second Nightking minor injuries, but after an hour, Lu Yin’s Sealed Cage Technique finally took hold. The Second Nightking’s expression instantly changed, and he felt chills run down his spine. Terror overcame his mind. What’s happening? Is this the feeling of the Sealed Cage Technique?
The man’s eyes flickered, and he turned to stare at Lu Yin in complete disbelief. Lu Yin’s presence had suddenly become overwhelming to the Second Nightking because this youth was able to decide his life or death. The hatred that the Second Nightking held towards Lu Yin did not diminish in the least, but he suddenly lost the courage to go against the youth.
“Stop,” Lu Yin ordered. He waved a hand and asked Liu Ye and Fei Hua to step back.
Liu Ye and Fei Hua sighed in relief. They did not feel like they had accomplished anything at all, as they had only managed to inflict minor injuries on the Second Nightking. So, they both felt relief when Lu Yin asked them to pull back.
Lu Yin met the Second Nightking’s eyes and smirked at the man. “How is it?”
The Second Nightking felt incredibly bitter. He finally understood why Lu Yin had launched all those weak attacks; it had all been so that he could establish control over him with the Sealed Cage Technique. The ancient powerhouse’s eyes were filled with hatred and shock. “Why- why do you know the Sealed Cage Technique?”
Lu Yin silenced the man. “Stop talking, or else you’ll die.”
The Second Nightking gritted his teeth as he glared at Lu Yin. “Why?”
Liu Huang’s power level might not have been equal to the Second Nightking’s, as he was much younger than the ancient powerhouse, but Liu Huang was definitely more important than the Second Nightking. He was someone who could never be allowed to escape from Gaia’s Swamp as his mere existence was proof of the Hall of Honor’s dark side.
