Chapter 120: Cast it into the fire

——(POV third person, eternal wail trial, Hu Anjing, and others)——

"Let's go." The moment Hu Anjing got Li Huang's message she didn't waste any time and started running toward where Li Huang and that mysterious attacker were fighting.

Hu Anjing, Li Wanrou, Cai ZhenKang, and Ye Ling were the four that decided to run and fight with this third party. Others were on the lookout for any more danger as they didn't know when the trial would be over exactly.

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

From the corners of his eyes, Li Huang checked Guanyu's face to see if he can decipher what he is planning to do. Seeing as he didn't have any time to waste, Li Huang went with his original plan.

He was going to use the ring that he got from Jin Fen's corpse to teleport to Guanyu and deliver a surprise attack to him.

Unbeknown to Li Huang, Guanyu was waiting for exactly this to happen as he knew that Li Huang had Jin Fen's teleportation ring and he didn't use it until now so Guanyu was waiting for him to use it and using that chance, finish off Li Huang once and for all.

Li Huang started charging up the ring slowly and Guanyu couldn't hide his grin when he saw this. Opposite to him Li Huang also grinned as he too was looking for this.

The moment that the teleportation ring activated, Guanyu could feel the space behind him destabilize for a moment and that was the cue that Li Huang was going to exit from there. How could a mere teleportation ring make it hard for an old monster like Guanyu to detect someone's movement? He didn't want to stay here and fight the newcomers that were getting closer by the second so he decided to finish this fight with this move.

"You are a million years too early to be facing me." Guanyu said and turned toward where Li Huang would come out of. He used three-fourths of all his Qi to finish this pest, also known as Li Huang.

To Guanyu's dismay, the moment that his attack was near the space fluctuation location, what came out of it was not Li Huang.

Li Huang knew from the beginning that he can't face Guanyu easily so he came up with a plan. What if he made Guanyu think that he is going to do something and that would lead to Guanyu showing an opening.

It was a good and seemingly effective plan but the problem was that Li Huang had to somehow let Guanyu know of his next move without directly telling him. If an old monster like Guanyu were to see the smallest glimpses that Li Huang is plotting something, this whole plan would fall apart.

With that in mind, how could Li Huang let Guanyu know his next move without telling him when he has no idea what trump cards Li Huang has? The answer was using what he knew about, Jin Fen's belongings. Guanyu would know them best as he was with Jin Fen every step of the way.

Thinking about one thing that is obvious and practical, Li Huang choose the teleportation ring as it was in plain view and there was no way Guanyu didn't know about it as it was the reason Jin Fen was alive for so long.

The thing that came out of the space fluctuation was the alchemical golem that Li Huang pocketed at the beginning of the trial. He had a hard time fighting it because of its Qi negation property and was able to get out of that situation by sheer luck.

Now that he sent this golem instead of himself with the teleportation ring, Guanyu had lost most of his Qi and this was the opening that Li Huang was waiting for. Applying a couple of scrolls on the run, Li Huang got close to Guanyu who had his back to him.

Guanyu's attack landed on the alchemical golem and as expected, the golem absorbed all of it and no damage was done to it.

'What is this doing in this backwater world?' Guanyu was shell-shocked for the first time in a while. The face of the golem was enough to instill fear in him, no matter how many years pass, he wouldn't be able to forget him, the one who killed him. The fear and rage were so intense that Guanyu forgot the current situation and was looking around to find 'him' in the surrounding.

It was logical to think when his golem is here, he is here too but the truth was that Li Huang found this golem in a formation in this trial but Guanyu didn't know about this and thought that he has sensed him and come to finish him off for good this time…

Li Huang didn't expect that Guanyu would show him such an opening and expected only a small window of action but this was a highway in itself. Li Huang wasn't one to look a gift horse in the mouth but he didn't let his guard down so that even if Guanyu has a plan he won't be surprised.

For this attack, he had to use one of the most expensive items that he had, it was also one of the most dangerous items. It was simply called [Black menace powder] and did one simple thing; it would cripple a person's cultivation when their Qi is almost depleted.

This powder works on everyone so it can even cripple oneself if you are not careful. Other than the danger, the price tag for this powder is high enough that even Li Huang was almost having second thoughts when using it as the small amount that Li Huang has cost him about a year's worth of pocket money. Well, it is worth saying that this small amount can kill two or three more people so you can say that Li Huang's reluctance is understandable when he wanted to use this.

Scattering the [Black menace powder] in the air Li Huang used the needlework technique of the eclipse devourer sword art to send a barrage of attacks toward Guanyu so that there is no way that he can come out of this attack unscathed.

In the short time that the attacks were reaching Guanyu, Li Huang used the peeping eye of heaven to collect any and every [Black menace powder] that was still on the air.

Finishing this in a few nanoseconds he breathe a sigh of relief as now there was no chance for him to somehow inhale this powder.

Guanyu who felt the attacks coming from his back, defended them as much as he could because he was of a mind that this is 'him' attacking him so he had to defend desperately. Alas, the needlework technique is not one that you can defend from. As Guanyu had less and less Qi the attacks started hitting his body and the [Black menace powder] started taking effect.

The moment that [Black menace powder] started working Guanyu knew that there was no way out but his instinct was to struggle. It didn't take long for the powder to work its magic and soon Guanyu was on his knees with hallow eyes, it was too much for him to accept that he is now a cripple in a world that has probably no way of fixing his meridians.

"I guess you are a million years too old to be facing me." Li Huang said after finishing off Guanyu.

He burned the body to ashes and stored them in vials just to be safe. He also stored the golem in his storage ring. As the golem had a crack in its formation, it was practically useless but he could still study it and possibly repair it.

Hu Anjing and others who just got here just saw the burned ground and Li Huang storing a couple of vials in his storage rings.

"What happened?" Hu Anjing asked as she didn't expect to find Li Huang standing by himself as she could feel another person here until a few seconds ago.

Li Huang turned to face them.

"Well, let's just say he returned to dust…" Li Huang said. He was glad that he could salvage this situation somehow but he also learned a lesson.

'Burn the corpse too…' Li Huang thought to himself.

"*tsk* Next time leave some fight for me." Cai ZhenKang said as he was really disappointed that he didn't get to fight with this mysterious person. If he wasn't afraid that Hu Anjing and Li Wanrou would beat him, he would rush to fight here sooner.

Hu Anjing and Li Wanrou who were checking to see if Li Huang was alright or not, had an urge to punch Cai ZhenKang in the face. They were fighting non-stop for the past few days and he still wants more.

"Don't worry, not only I will let you have all the fight for yourself, but I will also promise to avenge you." Li Huang said as he was smiling.
