C300 The Second Method(1)

As the top disciple of the Inner Sect, Su Yuehan had fought countless battles. He had taken many lives and sustained numerous injuries, but nothing he had experienced or witnessed was as shocking as this moment.

Jin Yushan was an Advanced Martial Master at the late stage of his training, ranking second among the elite disciples of his sect. His skills and techniques were considered top-tier across the four major sects, making him far more formidable than most advanced masters. Even Su Yuehan, confident in his own abilities, wasn't sure he could defeat Jin Yushan, let alone kill him with a single strike.

Yet, in the presence of Moh Lunhui, Jin Yushan inexplicably fell, powerless to resist. Su Yuehan, always cautious, had intended to observe Moh Lunhui's strengths before making a move. Now, he still didn't fully understand Moh Lunhui's power, but he had no doubt that he was likely no match for him.

As Moh Lunhui approached, Su Yuehan's first instinct was to flee. However, just as he was about to turn away, he noticed Moh Lunhui's previously dull eyes suddenly light up. In the next moment, Su Yuehan found himself standing under a dark night sky.

Under the night sky, stars twinkled beautifully. Suddenly, meteors streaked across, painting dazzling patterns above. Before Su Yuehan could fully appreciate the sight, he realized the meteors had transformed into tiny daggers, each less than an inch long, targeting his vital points.

Alarmed, Su Yuehan immediately unleashed his peak-level "Moon Hook Sword Technique." Sword beams cascaded around him, deflecting the meteor-turned-daggers away. Abruptly, the daggers vanished, replaced by a massive sword descending from the sky, aiming straight for his head.

Without hesitation, Su Yuehan shifted his sword stance to meet the giant sword. As his sword clashed with the descending blade, he realized something was off. The imposing sword was merely an illusion, and his powerful strike hit nothing but air.

In the next moment, he felt a chilling sensation on his back, a menacing aura enveloping him.

“Crack…”

He heard a sharp sound, and the night sky dissolved, bringing him back to the familiar scene of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

At that moment, Su Yuehan snapped out of his daze, recalling how Moh Lunhui had just obliterated Jin Yushan with a single gesture and then started walking toward him. He had been ready to flee, but now there was no sign of Moh Lunhui.

Turning around, Su Yuehan saw Moh Lunhui flashing a bright smile in his direction. Following the line of his finger, Su Yuehan finally understood that the sharp crack he heard was the sound of his own spine breaking...

A surge of violent energy rushed through his back. With a look of even greater unwillingness than Jin Yushan, Su Yuehan collapsed. His death was even more bewildering than Jin Yushan's.

As always, Moh Lunhui grinned widely and began gathering his spoils. While he did this, Heavenly Martial City fell into a profound silence, both inside and out. It was a long while before the heavy breathing of the onlookers could be heard...

Su Yuehan's death was baffling, but as spectators, the people of Heavenly Martial City had clearly witnessed every moment of the scene that had just unfolded! In this battle, Moh Lunhui finally used more than just his finger technique; he employed his second method of attack. This second method was even more astonishing than the first.

It was the art of formations! And it was a formation meant for slaughter!

After Woo Zhengyang, the deadly array technique appeared in Moh Lunhui's hands as well. Just moments ago, everyone noticed that Su Yuehan seemed to hesitate when facing Moh Lunhui, as if he was considering retreating. However, just as he was about to turn away, he froze on the spot, much like Jin Yushan had when confronted by Moh Lunhui's finger.

Su Yuehan was still quite a distance from Moh Lunhui, so even if he appeared dazed, no one thought much of it. Surely, he wouldn't just stand there waiting for his demise, right? But in the next moment, several small golden triangular flags appeared in Moh Lunhui's hand and were placed around Su Yuehan.

No longer frozen, Su Yuehan fell into a frenzied state. He began to unleash the signature martial technique of the Gouyue Sect, the "Gouyue Sword Technique," with full force on the empty ground. As Su Yuehan continued to swing his long sword at the air, Moh Lunhui casually strolled to his side.

Almost as if in sync with Moh Lunhui, Su Yuehan's sword movements changed, and he slashed with all his might at the void, leaving his back completely exposed to Moh Lunhui. What followed was inevitable—Moh Lunhui struck with a single finger, and Su Yuehan met a tragic end on the spot.

From the moment the golden triangular flags appeared in Moh Lunhui's hand, many of the onlookers sensed something and recognized them as array flags. Indeed, as they suspected, the illusion array created by the flags allowed Moh Lunhui to effortlessly conclude the battle.
