The King of Urban Mercenaries

Chapter 1497 - 1501: The Tournament Begins (Part 1)

The man in black suddenly revealed something about Liu Muqing’s matters in the Upper Realm, making Liu Muqing seem as if he had suffered a blow, his body undergoing some changes, appearing quite agitated.

It was clear the man in black knew Liu Muqing, and not only that, he also knew some of Liu Muqing’s secrets.

"Murong Family members have come down from the Upper Realm too. Aren’t you afraid that the people from the Upper Realm will punish you?" Liu Muqing said coldly, seeming to have understood the person’s identity.

"That’s none of your concern. I’ve returned to the Lower Realm this time to ensure our Murong Family wins first place in this year’s Martial Arts Tournament, securing a century of development for our Murong family. After that, I’ll leave on my own, and you better not meddle, agreed? Liu Muqing!"

The man in black stated his terms, which Lin Fei, who had come over, overheard. He hadn’t expected the man in black from the Upper Realm to be from the Murong family. No wonder that old figure from the Murong family was so protective of someone from the Upper Realm; they are indeed one family!

Moreover, the opponent’s goal was clear: as long as the Murong Family won first place in this Martial Arts Tournament, he’d return to the Upper Realm, meaning Lin Fei didn’t need to take action; the opponent would leave on his own.

Regarding this, Lin Fei felt it was a good choice.

However, Lin Fei’s senior brother Liu Muqing decisively rejected this demand!

"I advise you not to harbor such unrealistic hopes. This victory belongs to our Beidou Sect. Even if it’s your family, there’s no possibility for the other four big families either!" Liu Muqing said coldly.

"Hahaha, Liu Muqing, why bother? You should already know the truth about being taken in by the Beidou Sect years ago, don’t you? Knowing this, why are you so stubborn? You really shouldn’t strive for any honor on behalf of the Beidou Sect; the reason should be enough for you to abhor the Beidou Sect, so why now do you want to help the Beidou Sect?"

The man in black from the Murong family of the Upper Realm began to mock Liu Muqing, saying things that Lin Fei found hard to understand.

This suggests Liu Muqing must have had some matters where Beidou Sect had wronged him, so Liu Muqing should hate Beidou Sect. Lin Fei, recalling events from the past few days, thought this situation was indeed possible.

At this moment, Liu Muqing glanced at Lin Fei in the distance. Lin Fei stood afar without doing much, and the man in black noticed this, turning to look at Lin Fei.

"You are the kid from that day, aren’t you? Arrogant, sure, but you still need strength. Borrowing someone else’s power is never your own, advising you not to meddle in things." The man in black threatened Lin Fei.

Lin Fei laughed, "You must be the coward from the Upper Realm, huh! You didn’t dare come out last time, were you injured and hiding in the cave? Clearly a dog pretending to be a wolf with a bushy tail. I suggest you go back to the Upper Realm and be their dog sooner rather than later!"

The thought of the injury arose for Lin Fei only recently. In his view, the Murong Family’s Murong Evil could completely team up with this guy to take action against him. However, Murong Evil did act, yet this man in black didn’t, suggesting only one possibility: this guy got injured when entering the Lower Realm!

Realizing this took two days. Two days were enough for an Ancient Martial Artist to recuperate, and going to the Murong family would be walking into a trap, so Lin Fei didn’t go.

"Brat, you’re courting death!"

Being spoken to like this by Lin Fei, the man in black was instantly enraged. Though Lin Fei’s words were true, he indeed got injured while passing through the World Barrier, but he had mostly recovered in the past two days, so he wasn’t afraid of Lin Fei. With a roar, he charged directly at Lin Fei.

Lin Fei snorted coldly, unleashing all his power, stirring the air, causing a hurricane to sweep in all directions, dispersing clouds.

Bang!

Faced with the opponent charging with a swinging fist, Lin Fei also extended his fist, colliding with the opponent’s punch. Instantly, a storm erupted between the two, bending trees below, tearing clouds apart, scattering them with the wind.

"Brat, not bad strength, but still insufficient!"

A voice came again from within the black robe. The person inside the cloak suddenly changed hand signs, and in an instant, completed a hand sign, angrily shouting at Lin Fei.

"Explode!"

Boom!

A powerful force blasted out of nowhere in front of Lin Fei, causing Lin Fei to vomit blood from the tremendous impact, his body crashing down, smashing several trees before halting, spitting blood.

"How dare you!"

Liu Muqing was enraged, and without a word, reached out his hand to hit the man in black, simultaneously shouting, "Silent Annihilation Dissolution!"

Swish, swish, swish!

Out of thin air, strands of black particles appeared between heaven and earth, moving swiftly like threads, eventually forming a pitch-black curtain, enveloping the man in black, seemingly intending to disintegrate him.

The black robe on the man kept disappearing as if melting like spring snow, completely dissolved, revealing his skin, from which traces of blood just emerged from the surface, were turned into a mist of blood by those black particles and then completely vanished.

"What a powerful Martial Arts technique! Is this the Martial Arts technique the people from the Upper Realm have gone mad for? Hahaha, you really are a genius. If that’s the case, you might as well bring out your weapon too! Soul Suppressing Bell!"

The man in black shouted angrily, casting a treasure, which was a bell expanding rapidly, in an instant enveloping the man in black within the Soul Suppressing Bell.

"Screech—"

A piercing sound occurred, even more grating than glass scratching, unbearably harsh, almost rupturing eardrums. Lin Fei endured the pain, covering his ears, finding the sound intolerably sharp.

However, Lin Fei knew this was the friction sound between the Power of Silent Annihilation and the Soul Suppressing Bell. The Soul Suppressing Bell seemed to shed its outer layer, its originally dim and lusterless form turned into a brilliant gold under the relentless dissolution by the Power of Silent Annihilation.

At this moment, Liu Muqing had ceased the attack, looking at the bell in front of him and the man in black sitting quietly within, he spoke, "Didn’t expect you’d even bring a treasure from the Upper Realm; seems you’re determined to win."

"Of course, so Liu Muqing, you better not meddle; otherwise, I have other tricks not yet used!" The man in black threatened.

Liu Muqing chuckled without saying a word but flew toward Lin Fei below. The man in black watched Liu Muqing leave but said nothing.

"Junior brother, are you alright?" Liu Muqing asked concernedly.
