Chapter 247 The Dark Scepter

"Who is Lu Yang?" King Jagger stood at the entrance of the Cloud Top Villa, roaring coldly at Nether King and the others.

"King Jagger, do you remember me? You wanted to kill me back then, but I escaped from your grasp!" Nether King said coldly to King Jagger.

Back then, Nether King had offended the Dark Legion, and King Jagger had dispatched his elites to hunt Nether King. However, just as Nether King was about to be captured, Lu Yang saved him.

"Nether King?"

"You cur, you're not dead yet!"

"Hah, it truly is a case of 'shaking a leg through the iron shoes, finding nothing, then stumbling upon it by chance.' Today, I will turn you into dust!" King Jagger chuckled coldly, his smile exceedingly sinister.

"Good. I was no match for you then, but now, who will emerge victorious is still unknown. Let me also experience King Jagger's skills!" Nether King finished speaking, clenched his fist, and attacked King Jagger.

"Such speed! But what of it? In the face of absolute power, speed is useless!" King Jagger sneered, unleashing a punch. A layer of qi formed around his fist. Even with Nether King's incredible speed, he couldn't break through King Jagger's protective qi. Soon, Nether King's punch struck King Jagger's qi. With a "boom," Nether King was repelled by King Jagger's qi, staggering back several meters.

"I didn't expect King Jagger's qi to be so strong. My full-power strike couldn't break through it!" Nether King shook his head involuntarily upon seeing King Jagger's immense power.

"Let us brothers give it a try!" As they spoke, the elder and younger Arno stepped forward. They cooperated with each other with exceptional默契, attacking King Jagger from both the left and right flanks.

King Jagger sneered. He used his left hand to deal with the elder Arno and his right hand with the younger Arno, handling them with ease and showing no signs of being at a disadvantage. However, the combined attacks of the elder and younger Arno were not to be underestimated. Their coordination was seamless, and every move and strike was aimed at King Jagger's vital points.

But King Jagger easily dodged every attack from the elder and younger Arno. He took two steps back and let out a beast-like roar, his power surging instantly. He then hurled both fists at King Jagger.

With a "boom," the elder and younger Arno were clearly no match for such immense power. They were sent flying and landed heavily on the ground. Fortunately, Lu Yang had significantly enhanced their physical resilience, so they only sustained minor injuries from the impact.

"Hmph, just two insignificant insects daring to challenge me. Die!" King Jagger snorted coldly and took a step forward, intending to crush the elder and younger Arno.

At this moment, a long sword gracefully flew out, blocking King Jagger's path and forcing him back a few steps.

"Is this Chinese swordsmanship?" Seeing the sword flying towards him, King Jagger was startled. He then punched the sword, and the treasured sword instantly returned to the hands of Feng Bo Jian Ren.

"Another one coming to his doom!" King Jagger looked at Feng Bo Jian Ren and said coldly.

"You barbarians, invading my China, deserve naught but death!" Feng Bo Jian Ren roared, holding his treasured sword, and attacked King Jagger directly.

King Jagger rarely encountered swordsmanship and kept dodging. However, Feng Bo Jian Ren's swordplay was exceptionally sharp. Several moves had already struck King Jagger, but King Jagger's physique was incredibly powerful. Even Feng Bo Jian Ren's sword couldn't pierce his body, only leaving a tiny scratch.

"Decent swordsmanship, but unfortunately your power is too weak to cause me any harm. Taste my fist instead!" King Jagger sneered, his speed instantly increasing. After dodging a sword from Feng Bo Jian Ren, he punched Feng Bo Jian Ren in the chest, sending him flying.

Just as Feng Bo Jian Ren was about to crash into the main door of Cloud Top Villa, Lu Yang caught him from behind with one hand.

"Take this spirit medicine; it will heal your injuries!"

"Leave the rest to me!" Lu Yang said indifferently to Feng Bo Jian Ren.

"Thank you, Boss!" Feng Bo Jian Ren immediately took the pill from Lu Yang's hand and then sat cross-legged on the ground to recuperate. King Jagger's punch had inflicted internal injuries on Feng Bo Jian Ren, requiring him to rest and recover.

"King Jagger, I am Lu Yang!" Lu Yang took a step forward and said coldly to King Jagger.

"You?"

"Young man, you don't seem very old, yet you have so many experts willing to serve you. I wonder what makes you so extraordinary?" King Jagger had expected Lu Yang to be a middle-aged man or an elder, but he hadn't anticipated Lu Yang to be so young, appearing to be only in his early twenties.

"Try me and you'll know!" Lu Yang snorted coldly, lightly clenched his fist, and punched towards King Jagger.

Lu Yang's punch appeared slow but was actually very fast. King Jagger was slightly caught off guard, but Lu Yang's fist had already swung towards King Jagger's face.

"What a unique move!" King Jagger immediately countered with his own punch, and they clashed, engaging in a chaotic brawl.

Lu Yang's physique, after being tempered by the Black Dragon Token, had reached its peak. However, at this moment, he could only fight King Jagger to a draw. Both relied on their powerful physiques for close-quarters combat, with their fists landing with solid impact in a fierce exchange.

After more than ten exchanges, King Jagger looked at Lu Yang, his eyes shimmering with surprise. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Young man, why is your physique so powerful? Have you also undergone the Holy Cult's baptism?"

"The Holy Cult's baptism? What is that? My physique was forged through painstaking effort, bit by bit!" Lu Yang said coldly to King Jagger.

"Hmm? It wasn't the Holy Cult's baptism, but self-cultivated? The East is truly a mysterious ancient land, possessing such strange and varied methods for tempering the physique. But it's a pity. If you hadn't opposed our Dark Alliance, your future would have been limitless. However, since you have offended the Dark Alliance, today I shall eliminate you!" King Jagger's lips curled upwards in a cruel smile. In his hand, a supremely black scepter appeared, exuding an extremely foul odor and radiating an aura of utmost evil.

"Boy, this scepter is one of the three sacred artifacts of our Dark Alliance. Once struck by this scepter, no matter how powerful your physique is, you will slowly rot and die!"

"Welcome your death!" King Jagger sneered and swung the black scepter towards Lu Yang.

"Do you think you're the only one with a treasure?" Lu Yang sneered. The Black Dragon Token instantly appeared in Lu Yang's hand, transforming into a three-foot small sword that blocked the black scepter. The black gas emanating from the scepter was instantly absorbed by the Black Dragon Token, refined into spiritual energy for the token, and then nourished Lu Yang's body.

"What? What exactly is that thing in your hand? It can actually absorb the death energy from the black scepter?" Seeing the power of the Black Dragon Token in Lu Yang's hand, King Jagger's eyes narrowed instantly.
