Chapter 160 – Bai Hang challenges!


    As the Qiansi Elder Ying Luo fell to the ground with her shoulder pierced by the Qian dragon spear, blood sprung out from the wound she had received.


    The vigers, who were now nning to escape, were shocked to see this.


    Long Yu was just a Zhenling 2ndyer expert, while this Qiansi woman Ying Luo was a Zhenling 4thyer powerhouse!


    In spite of the disparity of twoyers, Long Yu had struck Ying Luo as if she was not powerful than him but at the same cultivation level as him. This was simply unbelievable!


    Suddenly, several vigers started looking at Long Yu in a state of bewilderment.


    They now had a premonition that this boy, d in in grey cotton robe, would someday be praised by the entire Tang kingdom. And that day woulde soon!


    It was known all over the Tang kingdom that the seven sectspetition was about to begin in a month or so, and that thispetition was a tform for youngsters to disy their talent. Wouldn’t Long Yu shine in thispetition?


    “Die!”


    Long Yu had not paused even for a single moment as his eyes shed with indifference.


    The woman before him was just an enemy!


    And since she was an enemy, she must die!


    “Please spare me, I beg you, please!”


    The hint of sinister and ruthless light soon disappeared from her eyes as she clenched her bleeding shoulder and began to cry for mercy.


    Unfortunately for her, Long Yu turned a cold shoulder towards her!


    “Long Yu!”


    Liao Lele saw this and immediately called Long Yu.


    She could see that Ying Luo was badly injured and appeared miserable. This gave birth topassion in her heart as she decided to persuade Long Yu into not killing her.


    However, could anyone really influence Long Yu once he had made up his mind?


    “Lame touch!”


    Long Yu bit his finger and sprinkled some blood on the tip of his Qian dragon spear, activating the fine ck lines on its tip and thenunched the spear towards Ying Luo.


    “Qiansi defense!”


    Ying Luo sensed the burst of xuanqi that approached her so she tried to congeal a shadow barrier to defend herself from Long Yu’s spear.


    At this time, the Zhentian Sun reappeared behind Long Yu and was shining as brightly as ever, releasing the tyrannical power of Zhentian domain.


    The continuous attacks had now caused the shadow barrier congealed by Ying Luo to wither as several holes appeared in it.


    Since Ying Luo’s cultivation was now at Zhenling 3rdyer, the situation had reversed instantly!


    At this time, Ying Luo was already injured so severely that even if her cultivation level was restored, she wouldn’t be able to face Long Yu.


    The power of the Lames touch had increased over time, so it prated the shadow barrier easily and made way for the Qian dragon spear to pierce Ying Luo’s heart. Since the spear was carrying the humungous strength of thunder charm, it instantly crushed Ying Luo’s heart.


    Ying Luo waspletely shocked and could not believe what had just happened. As she stared towards Long Yu in horror with her eyes wide open, she looked even more sinister than earlier.


    Long Yu withdrew several steps by pping his lunar wings and grabbing back his Qian dragon spear as he watched Ying Luo fall down to the ground.


    As blood spurted out of her chest and her bodyy there, motionless, Long Yu was finally rxed.


    This time, he had to face an Elder of Qiansi sect, so now he believed that he could defeat even the most formidable powerhouses of Zhenling 4thyer. Not to mention, she had never underestimated him like his previous opponents had done.


    Nevertheless, he couldn’tpare this woman’s strength to that of Yu Qianning.


    Because Yu Qianning had not onlyprehended the Qiansi domain but had also been practising ‘Spring and Autumn’ corew and had alsoprehended the Imperial domain, which was a principle of mysterious jade level!


    Although Long Yu had the strength of two heavenly tablets – the Lunar tablet and the Thunder tablet, he had notprehended their domains yet.


    The Imperial domain that he would have to face eventually was one of the most powerful domains!


    “I must enhance my cultivation level as fast as possible!”


    Long Yu was suddenly reminded of the beast corpses and the neidans that he had stored inside his nine hidden dragon mark as he stood not far away from Liao Lele.


    Could he hand them over to her and Old White? Perhaps they would be able to concoct some powerful immortality pills from them.


    Regardless of the ways he had to follow, he was now focussed on enhancing his cultivation level.


    If Long Yu reached Zhenling 3rdyer, then it would be much easier for him to face a Zhenling 4thyer powerhouse.


    That way, even if Yu Qianning would have reached the peak of Zhenling 4thyer, he would be able to defeat her in the seven sectspetition!


    Long Yu rushed towards the corpse of Ying Luo in order to see if she had been carrying some valuable battle weapon or immortality pills with her.


    The gentle Liao Lele couldn’t tolerate watching this.


    “Long Yu, you have just killed this woman. You cannot treat her corpse like this…..”


    Liao Lele moved towards Long Yu.


    “If I had died, she would have treated my corpse the same way, as she would have treated your corpse or someone else’s.”


    Long Yu said in a low tone, without stopping to search the corpse for valuables.


    Soon he found out that the woman had been concealing a bronze top grade spiritual level battle weapon in her bosom. Small characters were carved on it. It seemed that it was called “Qiansi copper needles”.


    As the number of martial experts that could use this battle weapon was few, it couldn’t fetch Long Yu anyrge amount of money. In fact, even if Long Yu was to sell it, he would only get around 3500 crystal coins for it.


    Ying Luo had definitely used these copper needles while she was attacking Long Yu as the copper needles were still warm from the cirction of xuanqi.


    It was only a pity that she couldn’t defend herself from Long Yu even after using such a top grade spiritual level battle weapon, because Long Yu’s battle weapons as well as martial skills were of top grade spiritual level as well!


    As Long Yu headed back towards Liao Lele, he could sense that she was angry with him although she tried to stay calm.


    She was well aware of the fact that by killing Ying Luo, Long Yu had actually rescued not only her but the entire vige!


    No doubt, Ying Luo was an evil woman, but seeing her die like this made Liao Lele emotional.


    What was the use of having a cultivation level of Zhenling 4thyer when she ended up dying in such a miserable way?


    Perhaps someday, Long Yu would also face a simr fate! This made her even more anxious.


    “Concocting life saving immortality pills is very important…..”


    Liao Lele thought to herself. This whole incident had not only left a deep mark in her memory, but also encouraged her to pursue alchemy even more seriously!


    She was good-hearted and could simply not see anyone dying, even if the person was her enemy. She could only practice her alchemy skills to perfection so that someday she might be able to save a dying person by concocting life-saving immortality pills!


    But right now, she was too far away from her goal.


    Even Old White, who was the sole alchemist in Zhentian Sect, did not possess such outstanding skills.


    Liao Lele knew in her heart that she would have to travel a long way in order to be an ace alchemist!


    The vige crisis had been resolved.


    Long Yu refused the warm invitation of the vigers and decided to head back to Zhentian Sect.


    “Long Yu, I want to stay in the vige for a few more days. I promise you that I will return to the Sect before the seven sectpetition starts.”


    Liao Lele looked on as she watched Long Yu depart.


    She understood that she and Long Yu were not made for each other. There was a huge disparity in their basic natures which could not be ignored.


    Long Yu could kill a person in cold blood, while she was a benevolent person.


    She could be friends with him, but their rtionship could go no further than friendship.


    Two vigers and a Qiansi Elder had died in the vige; she must stay to attend their funeral.


    In order to avoid any further problems, the vigers decided to burn down the corpse of Ying Luo.


    She realised that this incident could prove to be really helpful in promoting her alchemy skills, so she decided to continue her practice while staying in the vige, hoping to break through the bottleneck she was stuck in.


    ………….


    Long Yu pped his lunar wings, which had attained the psychic level, and sped towards Zhentian Sect.


    Only after a day of travelling, he had flown over a vast area of the Tang kingdom and could now see the Zhentian canyon!


    His present speed was so high that even a Zhenling 5thyer powerhouse wouldn’t be able to overtake him. At this speed, it would take him only two or three days to cross the entire Tang kingdom!


    At dusk, he arrived at the Zhentian canyon.


    The scene before him was just the same as it was the day he had firste to the Zhentian canyon. Several young Wudao experts had gathered there in order to climb up the canyon and enter the sect.


    When they saw Long Yuing from outside and climbing up the canyon effortlessly, they started envying him.


    “Well, this Zhentian canyon is so hard to climb; I don’t think I would be able to get admission in Zhentian Sect. Are there any other great sects beside Zhentian Sect?”


    “I have heard that the Imperial Chu n ns to open an institute inside the Royal Pce. Anyone who gets an admission there would be taught the corews of all the seven sects, including the corew of Zhentian sect.”


    “If that happens, not only Zhentian sect but all the seven sects of the Tang kingdom will decline.”


    A group of people chattered among themselves loud enough to make Long Yu hear what they were talking about.


    Long Yu wouldn’t have cared about them, but hearing what they just said made him sneer.


    He stepped down the canyon and walked towards them: “Even if Zhentian Sect declined, losers like you will never hold the qualifications to enter Zhentian sect.”


    They could never join Zhentian sect as this was no ce for trivial people like them!


    After venting out his anger, Long Yu climbed up the Zhentian canyon alone, leaving behind an infuriated crowd!


    Through the Zhentian canyon, he finally reached the entrance of Zhentian sect, finally away from those irksome people.


    As Long Yu lifted his eyes after standing up, he found Old White waiting for him,ughing.


    “So you have finallye back to the sect! I was waiting here to inform you that Bai Hang has been looking for you everywhere. He intends to challenge you.”


    Old White said with a smile, rubbing his beard.


    Bai Hang?


    Long Yu recalled. Wasn’t this Bai Hang the second core disciple of Zhentian sect?


    He had earlier encountered him in the Ling n vi!


    Why did Bai Hang want to challenge him?


    Thest time he had seen him, Bai Hang was already at the peak of Zhenling 2ndyer. As three or four months had passed since then, he must have reached Zhenling 3rdyer!


    But such a cultivation level held no ce in Long Yu’s eyes!
