Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082

The person who arrived was none other than Cui Yulong!

The wooden box was indeed the one used to hold the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade.

"Liu Mubai!" Cui Yulong also saw Liu Mubai, nodded towards him, and said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

"Miss Huangfu was ambushed by this person!" Liu Mubai succinctly explained the situation.

Cui Yulong immediately looked at the man. Although they hadn't yet exchanged blows, he could already tell that this man's strength was extraordinary.

"Interesting! Truly interesting!" The man laughed heartily, saying, "I didn't expect to encounter so many young experts from Huaxia tonight. Hey, are you Cui Yulong? Where is your Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade?"

Cui Yulong clapped the wooden box in his hand and replied coldly, "And who are you?"

The man sneered, saying, "You want to know my name? Beat me first!"

"Who is this braggart who talks so big!" With a sinister voice, a man who was as skinny as a twig leaped out from behind a large cart; it was none other than Ghost King Li Ruoyuan.

With the appearance of Ghost King Li Ruoyuan, several more people followed closely behind. Leading them was Ghost-faced Judge Cui Yu. The others were the people of the Killing Gate Seven Hidden. Except for the Netherworld Scholar, the other six members of the Killing Gate Seven Hidden were all present.

Liu Mubai and the subordinates of Huangfu Ziyu were stunned. They didn't expect to encounter so many people from Sha Men here tonight. However, they all breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that with these people, they would finally be saved.

Indeed, once Cui Yu arrived on the scene, he quickly assessed the situation and waved his hand, saying, "Help!"

There was no feud between the people of Sha Men and Huangfu Ziyu. However, they all owed Ye Qing their gratitude; it was Ye Qing who had risked his life to save them at the Xihang Shen Family Manor. Since Huangfu Ziyu was Ye Qing's woman, once Cui Yu spoke, everyone charged in without hesitation, helping Huangfu Ziyu's people.

The people of Sha Men were quite formidable, and once they joined the fray, the situation immediately shifted. Those who had been prevailing were quickly forced into retreat and were no match for the Sha Men members.

Despite his subordinates' defeat, the man showed no hint of worry; he didn't even bother to pursue Huangfu Ziyu but instead watched Cui Yulong with a cold sneer.

The man sneered, "Some say you're the number one among the younger generation of Huaxia, but it seems you're just so-so!"

"Killing you is enough," Cui Yulong replied coldly.

"Hahaha..." The man laughed loudly, saying, "Are all the people of Huaxia so arrogant? With just you, you think you can kill me? Hahaha..."

Cui Yulong's expression turned colder as he lifted the wooden box in his hand, pointing it at the man, saying in a deep voice, "Do you dare to fight me?"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" The man laughed as he spoke, already rushing towards Cui Yulong.

Seeing the man's actions, Cui Yulong's expression changed; he hadn't expected the man to be so fast. Without hesitation, he gave the wooden box a pat, and the valley echoed with a dragon's roar as the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade shot out from the box.

Hearing this sound, the man was momentarily stunned, not expecting the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade to produce such a sound. By then, Cui Yulong had already caught the blade and swung it towards the man.

"Interesting!" The man laughed heartily, easily dodging Cui Yulong's strike, and simultaneously threw a punch towards Cui Yulong's back.

The man's attack was exceptionally fast; experts like Huangfu Ziyu and Liu Mubai couldn't avoid or block it. Although Cui Yulong was quite skilled, he wasn't much stronger than the two of them, and he couldn't evade the man's attack either.

However, Cui Yulong had no intention of dodging. With a flick of his hand, the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade emitted another dragon's roar. With that roar, Cui Yulong seemed to act on instinct, suddenly turning and slashing straight at the man's oncoming fist.

"Oh?" The man exclaimed, surprised that someone could block his attack, which even he was quite confident in. Huangfu Ziyu and Liu Mubai had been unable to evade his strike, let alone block it, so how did Cui Yulong manage to block it, and how did he foresee the direction of his attack?

Unyielding, the man shifted his position and struck again with another punch. Once again, Cui Yulong reacted just as before, flicking his Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade in response to the dragon's roar, swinging another slash that nearly caught the man's arm.

"There's something wrong with your sword!" The man's face changed, and he said solemnly, "Can it perceive the direction of my attack?"

"Otherwise, why would it be called the Evil Blade?" Cui Yulong snorted coldly and said, "I've had this blade for ten years, it's already become one with me. No matter how fast you are, it's useless against me!"

The man's face turned icy cold, he stared intently at the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade in Cui Yulong's hand and said solemnly, "What an Evil Blade! What an Evil Blade! No wonder, when Master appraised the famed instruments of the world, he said this Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade is definitely the number one Evil Blade in the world, it seems it's true. But even if it is the number one Evil Blade in the world, so what!"

As the man spoke, he suddenly charged at Cui Yulong again, throwing the same punch.

As before, Cui Yulong relied on the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade to sense the direction of the opponent's attack, and slashed backhandedly. However, this time the man didn't dodge at all, instead, he directly reached out to grab the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade.

"Courting death!" Cui Yulong shouted coldly, increasing the force of his slash, wanting to sever the man's hand in one swoop.

But the result was completely different from what Cui Yulong imagined. The man actually grasped his Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade with his hand, and he didn't hurt the man in the slightest. Instead, the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade fell into the man's hand, and he couldn't retrieve it.

"How could this happen?" This time it was Cui Yulong's turn to be surprised, he looked carefully and finally understood. It turned out the man's hand was wearing a layer of glove as thin as a cicada's wing. It seems that this glove separated the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade!

Undoubtedly, this glove is definitely not an ordinary glove, able to withstand the attack of a famed instrument, it must at least be a famed instrument itself!

"Hand it over!" The man tugged forcefully, trying to seize the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade.

Cui Yulong didn't compete with him directly, he let go instantly, allowing him to take the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade.

The man's face lit up with joy upon seizing the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade, he hadn't expected it to be so easy. Holding the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade, he laughed triumphantly: "Hahaha, the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade, it's nothing really!"

"Hm!" Cui Yulong only snorted coldly, not even attempting to retrieve the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade.

From a distance, Ghost King Li Ruoyuan saw this and laughed immediately, "Kid, you're still finding reasons to laugh? Watch out for losing a hand!"

"Lose what?" The man just asked when suddenly he felt something wrong, looking down, there was a cut on his wrist, and blood was gushing out.

The man's expression changed, he hurriedly asked, "This... what's going on?"

He obviously wasn't injured, so why was there a cut on his wrist? Moreover, as he watched, the wound on his wrist slowly expanded, as though an invisible knife was slicing open his skin.

"What's going on? What's going on?" The man was extremely surprised, he had never seen such a thing.

"Hahaha..." Ghost King Li Ruoyuan laughed out loud, he knew best what was happening.

Previously, Ghost King Li Ruoyuan had also seized the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade from Cui Yulong once, and he suffered the same loss.

The Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade is called the number one Evil Blade, the crucial point being that its evil energy is very heavy. Moreover, during the previous chaos, its scabbard was lost. Without the scabbard, the evil energy of the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade cannot be obscured. With the evil energy gathered underneath, the saber qi will begin to spread, and if the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade is not held by its owner, the saber qi will injure others. Previously when Ghost King Li Ruoyuan held the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade, one of his hands was almost lost.

Now, the man followed in Ghost King Li Ruoyuan's footsteps, the evil energy of the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade silently cut a gash into his wrist. Although the injury isn't severe, it looks very strange and terrifying.

Cui Yulong's face remained calm, sneering at the man, he understood the situation with the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade the best. When he first got the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade, both of his hands were almost crippled. Fortunately, in the end, the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade acknowledged him, since then, only in his hands could the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade remain stable. If it were in someone else's hands, the blade's inherent evil energy would injure others.

In fact, without a scabbard, the evil energy of the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade is uncontrollable. If Cui Yulong hadn't met the Purple Robe Lama, who used Heavenly Silkworm Wood to make a wooden box for the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade, blocking its evil energy, anyone passing near it would be harmed. Though the Heavenly Silkworm Wood can conceal the evil energy of the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade, it is ultimately not the blade's own scabbard, so every time the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade is drawn, it must see blood. It's only after drinking blood can its evil energy be slightly diminished, otherwise, it can't be put into the wooden box.

The man completely unaware of these characteristics of the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade, holding it, was naturally at a hidden disadvantage. However, he wasn't foolish, reflecting on how effortlessly Cui Yulong allowed him to seize the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade earlier, and additionally hadn't attempted any retrieval for such a long time, he realized this Evil Blade in his hand definitely had issues, therefore immediately he threw the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade away.

Cui Yulong caught the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade directly, raised his hand and slashed towards the man.

Once he threw the Ink Pattern Black Gold Blade away, the wound on the man's wrist immediately stopped expanding, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. Seeing Cui Yulong charging, he swiftly backed off, shouted out loud, "Retreat!"
