Chapter 539: The Name

120 meters away from him, at the very edge of his spiritual sense, there was something… someone floating high in the sky above them.

The only reason Alex even noticed the person was due to the nothingness of everything around him. If he had been on the ground, he doubted he could've caught him. 

The man had been looking at him this whole time, which was where Alex had gotten a strange feeling.

Ma Rong and Wen Cheng immediately turned around at Alex's call and searched for people around them. 

"What's wrong?" the 2nd elder asked, searching for around him as well.

"There, someone is there," Alex pointed up in the sky. The moment he did so, the person in his spiritual sense disappeared. 

Ma Rong and Wen Cheng obviously couldn't see someone that was so far away. Wen Cheng only had some 50 meters of spiritual sense range, while Ma Rong had about 70 meters now after her constitution awakening. 

Still, with that, they were nowhere close to seeing what Alex had seen. 

"What did you see?" Ma Rong asked.

"There was someone in the sky above us. He just walked out of my sensing range," Alex said.

"Are you sure?" Ma Rong asked.

"I… I think so. It had a humanoid shape for sure, but… I'm not sure if it was a person or not exactly," Alex said. "It didn't really have any aura to it."

"Is it possible you were seeing things?" Wen Cheng asked.

"I definitely wasn't seeing things, Master," Alex said. "But… I might have been a little too—"

Suddenly, Alex sensed something flying towards him at an incredible speed. He had no time to put any strength into his legs to jump away, so he did what he could in the split second he had. 

His Qi moved and his vision changed. He started seeing the world in patches of white and black. The white parts represented the shadows on the ground, while the black part represented the light. 

He chose one in his mind and at that moment, he disappeared. 

Ma Rong noticed something enter her spiritual sense as well and immediately turned around to catch it. But even she was too slow to stop it. 

A loud explosion rang out at the thing crashed onto right where Alex was, throwing up a cloud of stone and dust. 

Wen Cheng only managed to bring out his sword after the thing had already landed. 

Alex reappeared next to Wen Cheng. At the same time, Ma Rong pushed out her Yin towards the thing that landed to keep it there. 

When the dust settled, there was nothing there at all. The second elder looked at the empty space and was surprised. "What the hell did this?" 

"No, he's still there," Alex said. Wen Cheng had his sword glowing red and ready to attack, while Ma Rong was keeping the thing there with her Qi.

Slowly, a layer of front appeared in the air around the crash location that made a humanoid shape. 

The second elder looked with wide eyes when he realized that the person was actually invisible. 

"I've got him," Ma Rong said with a serious face that has hints of anger behind the cold eyes. She brought out a sword and was about to strike when suddenly her layer of ice melted and the person ran away from her.

Ma Rong looked at him with wide eyes, clearly surprised that someone actually managed to get away from her coldness.

"Tsk. I knew you got a Yin-type body, but I never realized how potent it was," a voice appeared from the air, as a figure appeared from inside of it. The figure was a brown-robed old man with gray hair and some gray beard flowing beneath the mask he was wearing.

"That's… Black Venom's mask," Alex said from the side. 

"I know about your mental attacks, boy. I'm not going to let myself be caught off guard," the old man said.

"Are you the bandit Killer?" Ma Rong asked him, pointing her sword straight towards him. She couldn't tell the old man's cultivation base at all, but from what she could tell, he was very strong.

"Yes, I believe that's what the bandits call me," the old man said. 

"How are you here?" Ma Rong asked. Alex and Wen Cheng were a little confused at the question, but the 2nd and 3rd Elder understood what she meant. 

"Why am I here? Hehe, well that would be because of this of course," the old man quickly took out a nameplate belonging to the sect and put it back inside.

Ma Rong's eyes went wide. "Where did you get the nameplate from, intruder," the 2nd Elder asked from the side. He brought out his sword and pointed at him too. He wasn't much of a fighter, but he still could fight at a basic level to protect himself.

"That's not very important right now," the old man said. "What's important is that you guys die."

The old man dashed towards Ma Rong at incredible speed and slashed at her with a thin, black sword. 

Ma Rong's yin aura released to stop his attack, but even as she did, she realized that it wouldn't stop it. The slash went through the aura, cutting it in half and even almost reaching Ma Rong herself.

"What?" Alex looked surprised from a little away from her. He couldn't understand how his master could possibly not be able to stop him at all. After all, Ma Rong was able to stop all forms of energy around her.

"All forms of… no," he thought. Ma Rong couldn't stop all energy. There was one element she had trouble stopping.

"Master, be careful," he shouted from the side. "He is using Yang Qi."

It had taken until the second attack, but Ma Rong had understood that as well. The old man in front of her was using Yang Qi, which was why he was able to cut through and escape her Yin aura. 

Even Alex when he was only in the Meridian Tempering realm could send out attacks that reached her if they were Yang elemental attacks, so it was obvious that Yang attacks would be the only thing that can fight against her so effortlessly. 

"You can't win against me at all, little girl," the old man said. His blade glowed yellow as he dashed ahead once again. 

"We'll see about that." Suddenly, Ma Rong let go of anything she was holding back. The amount of Yin Qi that flowed out of her body was incredible. 

The whole front yard of her house started to get frosty, while the rest of the 4 people there were starting to feel the cold.

The old man also frowned behind his mask. "Shit! I didn't know this bitch could produce such strong Yin Qi," he thought.

Ma Rong put her sword for and an illusory snake came out of her sword, making its way towards the old man. 

The old man suddenly spun his sword in his hand, sending out circular blades of Yang Qi to cut the Yin snakes. 

However, things didn't go as the old man expected. His Yang blades quite dissipated when they struck the snakes. The snakes also lost a lot of their energy, but that told him that if the two of them clashed directly now, Ma Rong would definitely win.

"Screw this, I'm not here for her anyway," the old man thought and dashed away. Everyone saw that he was going for Alex.

The second elder and Wen Cheng got their swords ready, while Alex got his teleportation ready to dodge. However, suddenly Ma Rong appeared in front of all of them.

She had teleported in front of them as well and sent out a Yin slash. The old man was surprised when he saw her appear out of nowhere and immediately switched his direction to get out of the way of the attack.

Ma Rong was about to go attack him when she felt something behind her. She turned around to see Alex completely white-eyed, falling to the ground. 

Her Yin Qi was just too much for him to remain conscious. The fear was something she understood and could give an explanation for, albeit a really poor one. 

Alex had a yang body that was worse than her Yin body. So, whenever she was around and openly using her constitution, Alex would feel a bit scared.

However, this was not something she understood. How could her Yin possibly make him faint, when everyone else around her was perfectly fine?

Ma Rong stepped away from Alex and he finally got back up. He couldn't tell what had happened as his vision had just gone in and out of focus, but he could feel a sense of fear from deep within him.

Ma Rong had now moved away from in front of him. 

The Bandit Killer was also looking at them with a hint of confusion in his eyes. He didn't understand what was happening, but as long as the kid was fine, he was fine with it too.

Ma Rong looked forward, toward the old man, as she asked, "What do you want with my disciple?" 

"You don't have to know," the old man said. Without even seeing his face, they could all tell how smug he was inside of his mask.

"This man is after you Yu Ming, Leave while we keep him here," Ma Rong said.

"No, master, I can help," Alex said.

She suddenly turned around with an angry face and shouted, "Alex, LEAVE!" 

Alex was about to say something when he realized what he had just heard. 

"How… how do you know that name?"
