Chapter 151: Reading Death Precepts
“Lord Laogeri!”
“Grandpa Laogeri!”
Countless acquaintances of Lord Laogeri in the audience showed expressions of concern. Especially Claude, who was particularly worried. Although Lord Laogeri did not admit that the other was his master, he had learned all his swordsmanship skills from him. Over the years, he had never given up on honing his skills. Although there was no need to hide his magic in the family, Claude always felt that there was no need to be so ostentatious. Usually, he would quietly practice in secret. Whenever Lord Laogeri saw him, he couldn’t help but give some pointers, which Claude greatly appreciated.
If it weren’t for Laogeri, there might not be today’s top talent in the northern empire, Claude. So he worries about Laogeri and hates Daven even more. Those rebellious disciples should not survive in the world!
“Return to the One Veda.”
The radiance dissipates, and Laogeri, whispering softly, appears in everyone’s sight.
His whole body emits a faint white light, the previous magic completely unable to penetrate this layer of seemingly gauzy feather garment. Laogeri just deeply exhales, but the momentum all over his body rises even more, which makes Daven’s face freeze again, his bright red pupils revealing ferocity.
“Master, in my memory, you seem not to have taught this move.”
“So what if it wasn’t taught, and what if it was!”
Laogeri disperses the light around him, his aged palm gripping the void, and a terrifying elemental power sword suddenly appears!
Flow of the light sword, the secret technique of the Heavenly Gathering Array! Emperor’s Sword!
Diaz below has a pale face. This is indeed the Emperor’s Sword, but it is more terrifying and mysterious than his techniques. All the clouds in the sky converge towards the light sword in Laogeri’s hand, as if to absorb the power of the entire world. Even Daven, who is opposed to him, has to use divine power to stabilize his form.
Perhaps it’s intentional restraint from Laogeri, or maybe due to the vacuum of power. This terrifying suction doesn’t affect the people in the hall or the duke’s mansion, but just lifting their heads to glance, they feel as if they’ve been plunged into an endless abyss of darkness. Although the long sword in Laogeri’s hand emits boundless light, it appears even colder than ice in people’s eyes.
Though Daven’s expression hardened, his smile remained unchanged as he looked at the Emperor’s Sword in the other’s hand, unable to help but sigh.
“It seems the master is indeed more formidable. If the master is fortunate enough to survive today, perhaps in a few years, we master and disciple can spar again!”
Daven didn’t deliberately lower his voice when saying this, leaving everyone puzzled, even Laogeri furrowed his brow deeply, completely unaware of what this traitor was up to!
“Don’t understand?” Daven chuckled, and suddenly a skull ring appeared on his hand.
“Then let me show you through actions.”
Laogeri saw the skull ring and suddenly realized something, but the teleportation array that appeared behind it caught him off guard!
“National-level artifact, [Death Precepts]”
A ring appeared in the teleportation array, and at some point, an identical skull ring appeared on Laogeri’s clothes. Both emitted a dark light, and the resonating sound resembled the roar of hell!
Laogeri, who was originally full of momentum, quickly waved away the Emperor’s Sword in his hand. His whole body shook violently, trying to shake off the ring on his body, but for some reason, the skull ring hanging on Laogeri remained motionless.
In the next moment, a violent force filled Laogeri’s body, rushing through his meridians like a tidal wave. Caught off guard, Laogeri suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. In the next instant, he hastily gathered his divine power to protect all his vital points. Laogeri, who was still radiant just moments ago, now stood in the void like an old candle flickering in the wind.
“Hahaha, who would’ve thought I’d ultimately be outsmarted by a mere national treasure!” Daven laughed heartily, but he didn’t approach Laogeri. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to kill him; rather, Laogeri, even in this moment of distraction, would likely fight back fiercely. Daven believed it wasn’t worth it.
Daven considered it not worth the risk.
“…” Laogeri had lived for over a thousand years and could see through most schemes with a single glance. This time, his anger clouded his judgment, allowing such a simple trap. Otherwise, when Daven first absorbed his thunder tribulation, he would have noticed it. At that time, not only thunder, but also the Death Precepts, were sent out from the teleportation array behind him!
The Death Precepts is a supreme-level national treasure, although it hasn’t reached the level of sanctity, it is the closest to it in terms of power. Its function is to seal a pre-injected force, then, like positive and negative poles, attach to the same person. The pre-stored force will then explosively rush into the body of the person it’s attached to. The Death Precepts automatically lock the opponent’s method of dissipating power, causing them constant headaches from the force crashing inside their body. The end result is often being worn down to death.
