The Liu Emperor might not be a match for the Second Nightking in terms of power, and his seniority was even lower. However, his importance was no less than the Second Nightking's. In Kun's Swamp, anyone could escape, but the Liu Emperor could not, as he represented the Hall of Honor's dark side.
The deathly aura floated like a black cloud and slowly drifted over the Second Nightking's body. His limbs were bound, and the chains extended underground.
When he had first been imprisoned, he had not been as numb as the other prisoners, and his eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness.
He had cultivated in the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect for many years, and even in the history of the Frigid Immortal Sect, very few had been able to borrow the Frigid Immortal Pond's water to cultivate indefinitely. However, he had been able to do so, and his power level had surpassed the First Nightking's when he had been at his peak. He had believed that he could lead the Daynight clan to new heights, but as soon as he had emerged, he had seen the Daynight clan being suppressed. The ancestral land's stone tablet had collapsed, and the Nightking Planet had cracked. He had not even had a chance to take revenge before being captured. Even Lu Yin, an enemy, felt sorry for him, let alone himself.
However, he had not given up and had been waiting for an opportunity. This tiny Kun's Swamp could not hold him.
Lord Pig had arrived.
The Second Nightking opened his eyes and frowned when he saw Lord Pig. Ever since he had been imprisoned in Kun's Swamp, the pig had come to check on him every day. Whenever he discovered that the Second Nightking was absorbing astral sources, the pig would use the sourcebox array to force the astral sources to be discovered by the Astral Source Universe.
If the Second Nightking could leave Kun's Swamp, he would definitely slaughter this pig.
Hmm?
There was someone on the pig's back?
The Second Nightking looked over, and his eyes narrowed. "Lu Yin?"
Lord Pig carefully approached the Second Nightking and stopped a thousand meters away. He then said with some fear, "Alliance Master Lu, this Second Nightking is too fierce, and he's skilled in spiritual force. This lowly one does not dare to approach. How about we stay here?"
Lu Yin nodded.
The Second Nightking's voice rang out, filled with resentment and anger. "Lu Yin, Lu Yin!"
Lu Yin picked his ear. "I heard you, Second Nightking. Have you gotten used to living in Kun's Swamp?"
The Second Nightking hated the people from the Hall of Honor the most, as well as the behemoths in the Neoverse who had persecuted the First Nightking. He hated the head inquisitors who had captured him, and he also hated Lu Yin. No, to be more precise, he hated Lu Yin even more. Lu Yin had destroyed the Daynight clan, and he was the enemy of their entire clan. If not for Lu Yin, the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect would not have been exposed, and the Second Nightking could have continued to cultivate until he no longer feared the head inquisitors, or even until he became a demi-ancestor.
If not for Lu Yin, none of this would have happened, especially since Lu Yin had lied to him and played him for a fool. The Daynight clansman's words were filled with resentment, helplessness, and despair, and he wanted nothing more than to kill Lu Yin immediately.
The Second Nightking tried in vain to break free of his chains, but the chains rattled under his efforts. Lu Yin narrowed his eyes as rune lines surged in front of him. That was the Second Nightking's spiritual force.
The head inquisitor had been able to break through Lu Yin's astral origin cyclone and cause his power level to plummet, but he had not been able to break through Lu Yin's spiritual force. The Daynight clan was best at spiritual force battle techniques.
However, this was Earth's Swamp, and there was a sourcebox array. The Second Nightking had also been heavily injured by the head inquisitor, so even if his spiritual force was powerful, he would not be able to use it. Lu Yin could rely on his Origin Opening Array to block the attack.
The Second Nightking's spiritual force collided with Lu Yin's, and Lord Pig hurriedly retreated as the hairs on his body stood on end. "Alliance Master Lu, let's go. It's too dangerous."
Around them, the chains rattled incessantly, alerting Liu Huang, Cripple, and all of the imprisoned prisoners. It was as if the entire Earth's Swamp had been awakened.
Above them, the Hell Master drank another mouthful of wine.
However, he did not mind and simply turned over to sleep.
Elsewhere, a woman looked down at the ground in confusion. "What's going on?"
The Earth's Swamp jailers had solemn expressions, and all of them were mobilized to keep an eye on the prisoners to prevent anything from happening.
Lu Yin leaped off Lord Pig's back and did not ask for the willow leaves to protect him. He slowly approached the Second Nightking while silently reciting the Stonewall Scriptures.
Lord Pig wanted to stop him, but Lu Yin waved a hand. "It's fine. I'm just meeting an old friend. There's no need to be nervous."
Lord Pig's heart was hanging by a thread as he stared at the Second Nightking. The pig's hooves constantly shuffled, and he was rather flustered. He did not care if Lu Yin died, but he could not allow him to die now. This person was related to his future, and he could not allow him to die. Furthermore, he was the one who had brought Lu Yin here. If Lu Yin died, then someone else would cause trouble for him.
Why wasn't the Hell Master the one who had brought him here?
That way, he would rather have the Second Nightking kill this person. That way, someone would cause trouble for the Hell Master, and he would be able to become the next Hell Master.
Lu Yin stopped 500 meters away from the Second Nightking, which was the maximum distance he could go. Even if the Second Nightking's spiritual force was restricted by the sourcebox array and he had been heavily injured by the head inquisitor, Lu Yin could only go this far. Any closer and he would be injured.
"Come here, Lu Yin! Come here!" the Second Nightking bellowed as he struggled. Suddenly, a person appeared behind him and raised a hand. His spiritual force transformed into a blade that viciously slashed at Lu Yin. It was the Nightking Heaven-Splitting Technique.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "You don't want the Daynight clan to live anymore?"
The Second Nightking's Nightking Heaven-Splitting Technique suddenly stopped and then dissipated. He glared at Lu Yin venomously. "What's wrong with the Daynight clan?
What did you do to them? "
"I didn't think that the Second Nightking would care about your own clansmen," Lu Yin sneered.
The Second Nightking's gaze turned cold. He naturally cared about his own clansmen, but he would not sacrifice himself for them. He was a selfish person, but right now, even if he did not care about his own clansmen, he would not be able to kill Lu Yin with his full strength. At most, he would only be able to vent his anger, which was meaningless.
"What did you do?!
You were the one who summoned the head inquisitor, weren't you?! "the Second Nightking roared.
Lu Yin shrugged. "You think too highly of me. How could I have the ability to summon the head inquisitor?"
"What are you doing here?
What did you do to the Daynight clan?
Does the Nightking bloodline still exist? "the Second Nightking asked sternly.
Lu Yin smiled and activated the Caged Cage Technique. "You'll know once you feel it."
The Second Nightking frowned and felt uneasy. He stared at Lu Yin, unsure of what he was about to do.
Kun Ze suddenly fell silent.
Lord Pig stared blankly at Lu Yin's back. Why was he so quiet?
Liu Yefei and Drifting Flower looked at each other, unsure of what Lu Yin was about to do.
The Luo Emperor was still tied up on Lord Pig's back by Liu Yefei, and he had not spoken a single word since the beginning.
After a full incense stick's worth of time, the Second Nightking finally spoke. "Lu Yin, what are you trying to do?"
Lu Yin frowned. The Second Nightking was too powerful, and his Caged Cage Technique had a hard time controlling this person's blood.
The Second Nightking's eyes flickered.
Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the Second Nightking. The Second Nightking's injuries were still light, and if they had been a little more serious, he would have been able to reconnect. Golden battle force revolved around his palm, and he unleashed a Hollow Palm onto the Second Nightking's body.
The Second Nightking's body trembled, but he did not suffer any injuries. His gaze turned sinister. "Brat, you're taking revenge on me."
In the distance.
Lord Pig's mouth fell open. "Alliance Leader Lu, there's no need for that." What kind of grudge was this? The Second Nightking had been heavily injured and imprisoned in Kun Ze for countless years. Why had Lu Yin come to take revenge?
Was there a need?
Liu Yefei and Drifting Flower found it strange as well.
Lu Yin was helpless. The Second Nightking was heavily injured, but he was still an expert at Elder Jiu Shen's level. Even if he did not cultivate his physical strength, every time he broke through his Origin Tribulation, his physical strength would increase. At his level, Lu Yin could not break through his defenses. He could not even injure Cang Zhou, so he had to rely on external items.
What external item could injure the Second Nightking?
Lu Yin had none.
"Liu Yefei and Drifting Flower, attack him," Lu Yin said coldly.
The Second Nightking roared and struggled. "Brat, you're insulting me! You're courting death!"
Lord Pig also felt that this was not good. "Alliance Leader Lu, there's no need for that."
Liu Yefei frowned. "Mr. Lu, this …" His pride did not allow him to attack someone who could not resist and was also heavily injured.
Lu Yin calmly replied, "This is the reason why I invited you to Kun Ze. Did you think that this was a vacation?"
"Forget it. Attack. It doesn't matter." Drifting Flower was much more decisive.
Liu Yefei sighed, and the two of them moved to Lu Yin's side and attacked at the same time.
Liu Yefei's attack was different. Although it was still far from reaching the Second Nightking's level, it could still break through his defenses. At the very least, it could increase the Second Nightking's injuries, even if it was not by much. Lu Yin attacked as well, launching a series of Empty Palm attacks.
In the distance, Lord Pig felt a chill run down his spine. This was too terrifying, and this Lu Yin was too vicious. The Second Nightking was already in such a miserable state, yet he was still trying to take revenge. His vengeful heart was too strong. No, he definitely could not offend this brat in the future. Even if he had to offend the head inquisitor, he could not offend this brat. This brat was too petty.
Lord Pig subconsciously retreated, afraid that he would be implicated.
The Second Nightking gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Yin. "Brat, if I can get out of here, I'll skin you alive and hang you on Nightking Planet for ten thousand years."
Lu Yin did not reply. He continued to attack with Empty Palm attacks while simultaneously using the Caged Cage Technique to try and control the Second Nightking.
Even with the three of them working together, the Second Nightking was only slightly injured. Finally, after more than two hours of fighting, Lu Yin's Caged Cage Technique took effect. The Second Nightking's expression suddenly changed, and a chill ran down his spine. An indescribable fear spread throughout his mind.
What was going on? What was this feeling?
Was this the Caged Cage Technique?
His eyes flickered as he stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. For some reason, Lu Yin's image had become incomparably lofty, as if he could dictate the Second Nightking's life and death. The hatred in his heart towards Lu Yin had not lessened, but he had lost some of his courage to resist. He had lost the ability to resist.
"Stop," Lu Yin said and waved his hand, gesturing for Flying Willows to retreat.
Flying Willows heaved a sigh of relief. Their attacks had not been of much use, but they had at least caused some damage to the Second Nightking. They had not wanted to fight for a long time, but Lu Yin's order for them to retreat was exactly what they had been hoping for.
Lu Yin and the Second Nightking looked at each other, and his lips curled up. "How was it?"
The Second Nightking's voice was hoarse. It was no wonder why this brat had been constantly attacking him; it was because Lu Yin had wanted to successfully control him with the Caged Cage Technique. His eyes were filled with hatred and shock. "Why? Why do you know the Bai family's Caged Cage Technique?"
Lu Yin made a shushing gesture. "Don't speak, or you won't be able to live."
The Second Nightking gritted his teeth and stared at Lu Yin. "Why?"
