《Dragon Martial Emperor》 Chapter 1 – Azure Dragon Mark Chapter 1 ¨C Azure Dragon Mark Outside the Yu Guan city, the morning sun was rising. A handsome juvenile youth with delicate features, d in ck clothes, was treading fast and arrived at the river bank of a fast-flowing river then turned back and said: ¡°You can say it now, what do you want to ask me about?¡± Behind him, two men in gray clothes had followed behind him all the way to the river bank. These two were the fat and thin servants, who were running with ease without losing their breaths, and apparently had some martial cultivation. They came rushing over to the riverside which was surrounded by deste and uninhabited areas and suddenly a vicious and ruthless look emerged in their eyes. ¡°A waste like you should just go and repent in hell! You are just a handicapped kid but you still dare to drool over our young Miss Feng Yao, die!¡± The fat man cursed and surrounded the ck-clothed youngster together with the thin man. ck-clothed youth¡¯splexion changed. They had been sent to take his life? The youth was named Long Yu and since his childhood, he had lived in the city with the ¡®Feng n¡¯ as the adopted son of Feng n¡¯s head, Feng Longsong. However, in this world of martial arts, from an early age, he grew up with blocked meridians and because of that, he was incapable of practicing and even if he was the adopted son of head of the n, he could never earn anyone¡¯s respect. (Note: Long Yu = Royal Dragon) But, Feng Yao was the biological daughter of Feng Longsong and had turned sixteen years old this year. She not only was born with an unparalleled beauty and a delicate seductive physique, but she had also entered the Wudao seventhyer and was also the genius disciple of the ¡®Hanbing¡¯ sect. (Note: Hanbing sect can also be called as ¡°trembling ice¡± sect; ¡°Wudao¡± can be called Martial Way) ¡°Who ordered you to kill me?¡± Long Yu calmly asked, in fact, the truth was that he didn¡¯t have the slightest interest in the so-called beauty of the Feng n. ¡°Since you asked, I will be merciful to tell you. Young Miss personally wants you dead and you have nowhere to escape, so die!¡± The fat man shouted loudly then suddenly rushed forward and threw a heavy punch towards Long Yu. Long Yu was unable to practice and because of that, he couldn¡¯t even see when the fat man¡¯s punch had already reached him. He received a heavy punch on the shoulder with a great strength of 1000 Jin which directly shattered his bones into fragments and instantly destroyed his whole hand and he fell down on the riverside. (Note: 1 Jin= 0.5 Kg) ¡°Cough!¡± Long Yu coughed out a mouthful of blood and tightly clenched his teeth but didn¡¯t utter a single groan. He was tenacious and was not willing to resign so easily! In this world, strength represented everything and that fat servant was just the weakest and only at the Wudao firstyer, however his single punch contained strength of 1000 Jin and with a single punch, he had seriously injured Long Yu to the point of approaching death. ¡°I cannot die.¡± Long Yu revealed his bloodshot eyes, looking at the fat and the thin servants walking towards him. He exhausted all his body strength and quickly rolled towards the fast-flowing river. With a ¡°Plop¡± sound, he fell into the river! The river flow was too fast and he had fallen into the river with a severely injured body, but whatever may be the oue, there was still a chance of survival. On the shore, the two servants gawked at this scene. ¡°Should we jump into the river and follow him?¡± The fat man somewhat hesitated. Although both were servants, but the thin man was at the secondyer of Wudao and held higher status than the fat man in Feng n. The thin servant¡¯s eyes shed: ¡°No need, the river flow is too fast, if we go into the river then we won¡¯t be able to find him so it¡¯s better to go all the way downstream. Your punch must have seriously injured him and would even have broken his meridians. He rolled into the river in order to have a narrow escape so we should go downstream and I am sure, we will be able to intercept him and kill him if he is still alive! ¡° ¡°Good.¡± The fat man nodded then immediately, both of them quickly walked along the river downstream. ¡­¡­ In the rapid flow of river, Long Yu¡¯s whole body was exhausted and being washed down the downstream with multiple broken bones, ruptured internal organs and his whole body was covered in severe pain. Death was slowly approaching him. ¡°How can I die like this¡­..¡± Long Yu clenched his teeth but the severe pain had made both his mind and body go numb. While his body was being washed down the river, it severely rammed into a giant rock and his blood sprayed out and stained the rock. In a while, his consciousness had slowly started to get fuzzy. Just then, a loud and vigorous roar suddenly resounded in his mind and awakened his consciousness! Long Yu suddenly sobered up and was totally bewildered to see a burst of mysterious bluish green light emitting out from his chest and actually congealed into ghostly shadow of a long Azure Dragon, and it separated the mighty current of the river away from his body and covered his whole body while protecting him at the center. ¡°This is ¡­¡­¡± Long Yu nced around and actually saw a ghostly figure of an Azure Dragon carrying his body forward at a very high speed through the wind and waves. This Azure Dragon¡¯s divine power seemed vast and immeasurable! Immediately, a mysterious power rushed inside his body and his serious injuries gradually healed, and all of a sudden, it also broke through the passages of his blocked meridians. And with this, he actually stepped into the world of Wudao! ¡°This is ¡­¡­ Azure Dragon mark!¡± Long Yu couldn¡¯t understand what just happened? Ten years ago, he was still on the Earth and was considered the King of Killers, but after an idental death, he crossed through to this different world and took rebirth in the juvenile Long Yu¡¯s body. After that, a mysterious Azure Dragon mark had appeared on his chest and he did not know what its effects were until now. At that time, when he had received a severe punch from that fat servant, it certainly would have jolted and snapped his meridians and that must have induced a reaction from the Azure Dragon mark in his Dantian. In this way, this proved to be a blessing in disguise for Long Yu because when the Azure Dragon mark changed into a phantom Azure Dragon, it not only healed his injuries but it also had made it possible for him to step into the world of Wudao. In the Wudao firstyer, the body could connect with the ¡®world divine Lingqi¡¯ to temper and refine the body and the meridians would produce traces of mysterious qi which would also increase the strength to reach 1000 Jin! A sharp piercing look shed in Long Yu¡¯s eyes. For a long time, he had been trying a variety of methods, hoping to step into the world of Wudao, but they all had failed him, but now, it was actually a punch from that fat man, which shook and severed some of his meridians, thereby activating the Azure Dragon mark. ¡°Although I do not know what this Azure Dragon mark is, but now that I have stepped into the world of Wudao, they can only dream about killing me.¡± Long Yu had finally gained his previous life¡¯s mighty self-confidence. In the past life, he had be the King of Killers and had attained the title of the strongest Hitman, only by relying on his malicious nature and vigorous strength, put together with his extremely strong and matchless willpower. And if anyone wanted to be sessful in the way of martial arts, strong willpower was simrly very essential. The Azure Dragon¡¯s phantom gradually dissipated. And now that Long Yu had finally stepped into the world of martial arts, he had reached the firstter of Wudao with his strength reaching 1000 Jin, and not only that, his perception and reaction abilities had also greatly enhanced. In this turbulent water, he could distinctly hear the sound of bugs on the riverside. He could even clearly see the nts at the bottom of the river, gently rippling along the direction of river flow. This was because now he had entered into the world of martial arts. Wudao was divided into nineyers, and with each promotion inyer, the cultivation would also increase while increasing the strength significantly. If the cultivation reached the ninthyer of Wudao, one punch would be enough to copse the mountains, one stomp would crack open the earth and the strength would reach a tyrannical level. ¡°What?¡± Long Yu noticed that after the Azure Dragon phantom disappeared, it returned to his chest and turned back into the Azure Dragon mark. But, his consciousness could actuallymunicate with this Azure Dragon mark. ¡°Activate!¡± Long Yu said aloud his intention in his mind and felt that the Azure Dragon mark had begun to heat up, and the strength instantly spread to all of his limbs and bones, making him exim in surprise. ¡°Strength of 2000 Jin!¡± At the moment, if Long Yu threw his punch, then it would wield a terrifying strength of 2000 Jin which was equivalent to the strength possessed by martial artists of Wudao secondyer. Once activated, Azure Dragon mark could actually enhance his strength by 1000 Jin, making his total might very terrifying for someone at the firstyer of Wudao. But soon, he felt a trace of fatigue and it seemed that he would be unable to sustain the heat released by the Azure Dragon mark. Certainly he was already very satisfied with this much because being a former Hitman, he could use this as a sure-kill hidden shot in the future. ¡°The ¡®previous me¡¯ can be considered as a Descendant of the Dragons, maybe this Azure Dragon mark has something to do with that ¡­¡­ anyways first I need to reach the river shore.¡± (Note: MC is referring to this world¡¯s Long Yu as ¡®previous me¡¯) Long Yu was familiar with his own strength and felt that the water current had begun to slow down and he should have arrived at the downstream. Crash! His whole body jumped up andnded on the shore. He didn¡¯t stop but started trotting on the grass with a sense of power surging throughout his body. Near the shore, both fat and thin servants were stunned when they saw him. This kid did not die? They had waited for an hour and were expecting to see Long Yu¡¯s body flowing downstream, but they never thought that the boy would still be alive and kicking. ¡°This waste was actually able to jump out of the river?¡± The fat man couldn¡¯t believe his eyes because he had clearly used his full strength of 1000 Jin while punching Long Yu then how could he possibly withstand it? ¡°Fatty, it seems that your punch is so useless that it couldn¡¯t even finish one kid?¡± The thin man stared at the drenched figure of Long Yu and motioned with his eyes to the fat man to attack. ¡°Well, it seems that I was careless, but this time, I will definitely finish him in one shot.¡± The fat man rushed towards Long Yu with a killing intent in his eyes. But what the fat man did not know that at present, Long Yu had already entered the world of Wudao and possessed the strength of 2000 Jin, which was two times his own strength! Chapter 2 – Strong anti-kill Chapter 2 ¨C Strong anti-kill Long Yu stood up and nced at the fat servant. He did not expect the fat and thin servants waiting for him on the river bank, but this time he was not afraid of them as he had entered into the world of Wudao and could disy double the strength of the Wudao firstyer if needed. ¡°This time, I will return the favor for that punch.¡± Long Yu looked at the pacing fat maning towards him but this time, his mind was tranquil and undisturbed. Although in this world, he had no fighting experience, but as the King of Killers from the previous world, he had perfected the killing techniques to a high degree of proficiency, so undoubtedly, he wouldn¡¯t have any problem in dealing with the martial arts of the fat servant. ¡°Brat,st time you were lucky, but now, you won¡¯t be able to escape this time.¡± When the fat man arrived near Long Yu, heughed loudly and ridiculed him and said: ¡°But, if you are willing to call me grandpa, I may give you an easy death.¡± He also thought that he might as well just humiliate Long Yu before killing him, but unfortunately, Long Yu did not listen to his long-winded bullshit. While the fat man was busy in ridiculing him, Long Yu took advantage of this and suddenly darted forward and swept his leg on the ankle of the fat man. The fat man lost his bnce and staggered backwards. Before the fat man could react, Long Yu used his right fist with a condensed strength of 1000 Jin and heavily hit on the side of the fat man¡¯s brain! With a bang, fat man¡¯s heavy body fell on the ground and there was an incredible look in his eyes. Until he died, he could not even scream out. He did not think that he would actually die here and that too at the hands of a waste who couldn¡¯t practice. One shot kill! ¡°What?¡± Thin servant frowned at the dead fat man. How could he die at the hands of a waste? Long Yu was standing firmly and looked up at the thin servant. Since the other party wanted to kill him, so he would naturally not be lenient. ¡°Ha ha.¡± At this time, the thin servant chuckled loudly and said: ¡°Who would have imagined that one day, a waste like you will enter into the world of Wudao. It¡¯s really rare, but if you think that you can deal with that dead fatty then you can also escape from my hands, then you are too naive.¡± ¡°Escape?¡± Long Yu¡¯s slightly tilted the corner of his mouth and said: ¡°Why should I run away?¡± ¡°What?¡± Thin servant couldn¡¯t believe what he just heard and immediately responded with augh: ¡°Anyway, you cannot escape from me even if you want to, so it¡¯s better to die an easy death with less pain!¡± The thin servant had not thought of other possibilities because his own cultivation was at the Wudao secondyer and could disy twice the power of a Wudao firstyer martial artist with the strength of 2000 Jin. Long Yu, earlier a waste, had just now just entered the world of Wudao so his strength could never beparable to his own strength. Thin servant dashed forward with a fierce look on his face: ¡°Well, I neglected before and fatty lost his life in vain, but now you do not have any chance, so die!¡± As his voice fell, the thin man¡¯s figure quickly rushed towards Long Yu producing a gust of wind. Facing the thin man, Long Yu had a slightly dignified look on his face. ¡°Azure Dragon mark, activate!¡± He used his thoughts to ?municate with the Azure Dragon mark on his chest which began to secretly heat up and right then, a surge of tyrannical strength flooded into his body and bones and he temporarily gained the strength of Wudao secondyer. In his previous life, he was an expert at killing people. And even now, this fact had remained the same. Thin servant arrived in front of Long Yu and smashed his fist. Long Yu¡¯s figure shed and instantly ducked to dodge the fist. After entering the Wudao, his speed had be a lot faster however the fist still grazed his cheek and it could have almost cracked his head. The strength granted by the Wudao secondyer was too strong and he didn¡¯t dare to take it head-on. The next moment, he suddenly shot his hand and grasped the wrist of the thin servant. ¡°What?¡± Thin servant scowled and immediately screamed: ¡°Ah -¡° His wrist had been broken. ¡°You, you, you ¨C Wudao secondyer?¡± Thin servant was rmed because he never imagined that this waste had not only entered the Wudao, but had also reached the Wudao secondyer in one swoop. How was this possible? However, Long Yu had twisted his wrist and it was clear that his strength had absolutely reached 2000 Jin! Long Yu snorted and without wasting time on bullshitting with the thin man, he raised his foot and heavily kicked at a ce three inches under his navel. This ce was the most fundamental part of a martial artist¡¯s cultivation, called Dantian. The kick was so fierce that it left him tragically screaming. It was over for him as his cultivation had been destroyed, and in an instant, he had be a waste! Both of them were at the Wudao secondyer and possessed the strength of 2000 Jin, but when it came to the utilization of this strength, Long Yu was clearly more skilled than the thin servant. Kacha. Like a professional killer, Long Yu twisted the neck of that thin man. He was still new in the world of martial arts but he had already killed two servants and one of them was at the Wudao second stage. If others heard about this, they probably wouldn¡¯t believe it. The thin servant¡¯s lifeless body fell to the ground but Long Yu¡¯s heart was totally calm. Since the other party wanted to kill him, he must do a good job of preparing a perfect kill for them, as he was definitely not a good or merciful person. ¡°Aftering to this world, I have been careful and have tried my best to not offend anyone. But now, someone actually wants to kill me.¡± Long Yu closed his eyes and rested for a moment then opened his eyes and stood up. After giving it a thought, he concluded that in this world of martial arts, it was absolutely impossible to not provoke anyone and the only way to deal with this was to be stronger. ¡°In this world of Wudao, martial artists practice various powerful martial arts, but fortunately they do not understand the right way of using these martial arts for killing, like that thin servant, otherwise it wouldn¡¯t be that easy to kill him.¡± He arbitrarily threw the corpses of the two servants into the river and then walked in the direction of Yu Guan City. He would like to confirm whether Feng Yao had really sent the servants to kill him! ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. Yu Guan City, at noon! Long Yu returned alone to the city and walked towards the Feng n¡¯s mansion. As arge city of Tang State, Yu Guan city was bustling with numerous martial artists. Especially in a major city like this, there were many respected ns that would continue to supply fresh martial artists to the variousrge Sects, located throughout the Tang state. This was a bustling city with a poption of millions of people. Feng n was one of the fourrge ns in the city and none of the other three was weaker than the Feng n. Long Yu walked towards the western parts of city and arrived at the entrance of the Feng n¡¯s mansion and after seeing him, suddenly, the servants rushed out to wee him. ¡°Young master Long, you have finallye back. n Lord is looking for you, so please quickly go to the pce hall!¡± Inside the mansion, Long Yu saw that many servants were searching around, looking for something, and it seemed that they were looking for him. When servants saw that he hade back, they were all very relieved. ¡°They certainly do not think that I was out killing the witnesses, right? But it¡¯s a pity that I have turned misfortune into blessing and in just one swoop, I entered into the world of Wudao and also came back alive!¡± Long Yu sneered and walked towards the pce hall. Chapter 3 – Dept of gratitude coupled with duty to avenge Dept of gratitude coupled with duty to avenge Three members of the Feng n were sitting in the Pce Hall and one of them was the n head, Feng Longsong. Feng Longsong was a former great battlefield soldier. He was tall, strong, brave, incredibly bold, very experienced and took every move with calm and chill mood, but at this moment, there was a look of anxiety and concern on his face. His adopted son Long Yu was actually missing since early in the morning! Long Yu was son of Feng Longsong¡¯s old friend. Feng Longsong loved him very much and he always treated him better inparison to his daughter. But Long Yu was now missing, so he would naturally be upset! In addition to Feng Longsong, in the Pce Hall, a beautiful girl d in light green dress was also sitting. It was Feng Yao, the biological daughter of Feng Longsong and was considered as a genius martial artist. Long ago, she had joined the Hanbing sect of Tang State and was considered an outstanding disciple there. This time when she returned back from the Hanbing Sect, everyone was surprised to find out that she had actually entered into the seventhyer of Wudao. At the moment, there was no expression on the face of this beautiful young girl, just an indifferent look in her eyes. Regarding Long Yu¡¯s disappearance, she seemed indifferent. In addition to Feng Longsong and Feng Yao, inside the hall, there was also sitting a middle-ageddy dressed in luxurious clothes. She was Feng Yao¡¯s mother and Feng Longsong¡¯s wife, named Li Yu. ¡°Feng Longsong, why have you called us here?¡± Li Yu, with an indifferent look on her face, said to Feng Longsong: ¡°Feng Yao must hurry back to resume her martial arts practice, she has no time to waste here apanying you.¡± Although, one could easily see that Li Yu and Feng Longsong were wife and husband, but their rtionship was not very good. When Feng Longsong heard her words, he suddenly stared at her and angrily said: ¡°Do you even dare to say that? Last night, I proposed the marriage of Feng Yao with Long Yu, and this morning, he goes missing, how will you exin that?¡± Li Yu looked at him with disdain and said: ¡°What is there to exin? How can we allow a waste to join our family? Long Yu is not worthy of our family or Feng Yao, he is just a waste child, and being so weak and insignificant, even if he gets killed by someone, then he really deserves it!¡± Feng Longsong suddenly became angry and thundered: ¡°Will you just shut up!¡± After his voice thundered, for a moment, a silence spread in the hall, but the anger in the heart was quickly reced by anxious concerns. As Li Yu just said, Long Yu could not practice and he was missing since early morning, so he could easily fall prey to any mishap. After a while, the indifferent looking Feng Yao suddenly stood up, turned around and started walking towards the door, while her crisp voice resounded in the hall: ¡°I have something to do at the Sect so I will go first.¡± Feng Longsong scowled and looked at his daughter and while restraining his temper, he asked: ¡°You came back two days ago and you are already in a hurry to go back?¡± Feng Yao didn¡¯t turn back to face her father and lightly said: ¡°I came back just to pick some good weapons, but now that I have your saber, I don¡¯t need to stay here any longer, I will go back to the Sect and start practicing as soon as possible.¡± Then she walked with light footsteps towards the entrance of the Pce hall. At that moment, she looked up and saw a boy d in ck clothes pacing towards the hall entrance with a smile on his face. It was Long Yu who had returned! Feng Yao could not help but wrinkled her delicate eyebrows a bit. ¡°Little Yao, why are you going back so soon?¡± Long Yu said while the corners of the mouth slightly curled upwards. Feng Yao was his younger stepsister. When the three members of the Feng family were talking to each other within the hall, Long Yu had heard a little of their conversations, that his foster father, Feng Longsong, wanted to betrothed Feng Yao to him. He could not help but secretly shook his head. Long Yu¡¯s foster father had always been good to him, but this time, he was being far too good to be actually thinking of marrying his daughter to Long Yu! From the inside of the hall, when Feng Longsong saw Long Yu, he suddenly stood up, his face lighted up, and was relieved to see that he was okay! However, Li Yu looked unhappy from the return of Long Yu. ¡°Ah.¡± Feng Yao knitted her eyebrows and nodded her head. She seemed to be very much puzzled to see Long Yu here. But then she started to walk in a rxed manner, her slender and beautiful figure was slowly approaching the hall entrance and while she was passing Long Yu, she did not even look at him. Long Yu did not say anything as well, and walked inside the hall, but while she was passing him, he suddenly said a few words. And hearing these words, Feng Yao suddenly stopped. ¡°Foster father, early in the morning, two servants took me to the river outside the city and they wanted to kill me, but at the key moment, suddenly an unexpected person appeared from nowhere and rescued me¡­¡­¡± Long Yu deliberately said this sentence to Feng Longsong so that Feng Yao could listen to it. He actually wanted to see her reaction. Wanted to kill! Feng Longsong was in a good mood after the safe return of Long Yu but when he heard these words, his good mood suddenly vanished, and all of a sudden, his face turned gloomy. The servants of the Feng n actually nned to go out with Long Yu, to kill him? How audacious! In the Pce Hall, there was a shocked expression on Li Yu¡¯s face. Feng Yao, who had abruptly stopped after hearing his words, subconsciously asked: ¡°Who was the person that saved you?¡± Although she had asked in a t tone, but Long Yu was an experienced man from different world and in his previous life, he had dealt with many life and death situations. With his vast experience dealing with people, he had mastered the skill of reading the reactions of people long ago. From that deep dull tone, with a trace of trembling, it was clear that at this time, she wasn¡¯t really calm! No doubt about it, she was the one¡­. Now, Long Yu was sure that Feng Yao was the one who had instructed the fat and thin servants to kill him! ¡°Little Yao, aren¡¯t you hurrying back to Hanbing Sect? You should ignore such irrelevant things.¡± Long Yu chuckled then walked into the hall! Although he wanted to take revenge, but at present, his strength was far less than Feng Yao, and most importantly, Feng Yao was his foster father¡¯s biological daughter! ¡°Hmm.¡± Feng Yao also realized that her reaction was a bit too excessive, and with a light humph, she turned back and walked away without looking back. Of course, Feng Longsong had also seen her reaction and frowned. Could it be that Feng Yao was the one who instructed the two servants to kill Long Yu? From Feng Longsong¡¯s understanding of his daughter, it was possible for her to do such a thing! Since her childhood Feng Yao did not like ordinary persons who were inferior to her in strength. To her, strength was everything and she would not hesitate to eradicate any obstruction which could be a hindrance in the promotion of her strength. Feng Longsong suddenly realized that just because he wanted to marry Feng Yao with Long Yu, it had put him in danger. Feng Yao was a genius at Wudao and Long Yu was a waste. If Feng Yao did not care about Long Yu, then this marriage would never bring good results for both of them. ¡°Hmm.¡± Li Yu groaned loudly. She didn¡¯t like Long Yu and as she was about to say something to him, Feng Longsong scolded her: ¡°Li Yu, you go out.¡± Li Yu looked straight at Feng Longsong. She knew that her husband was really angry. ¡°I tell you Long Yu, you are a lucky kid. You ran into such a dangerous situation and unexpectedly someone saved you. You better listen to me, you are just a waste, don¡¯t dream of eating swan meat from head to toe all day long. You are not fit to join our Feng n and you will never be.¡¯¡¯ Li Yu said with a look of disdain in her eyes then she turned around and left the hall. All day thinking of eating swan meat? Long Yu was stunned, she was such a bitch! Of course, whether Li Yu was right or wrong, she was still the wife of the n head and so Long Yu did not bother to say anything to her. Now only two persons were left inside the hall. Feng Longsong sat down first and called Long Yu: ¡°Little Yu, don¡¯ t worry,e and sit down and tell me about the incident in detail.¡± ¡°Yes foster father.¡± Long Yu came over and sat next to him .A little bit of discretion was present in his heart but he quickly decided how to exin things to his foster father. Feng Longsong was a good friend of his father and he had brought him up since his childhood and he had always been very generous to him. If Feng Longsong had not been there for him, then it would have been difficult for a waste like Long Yu to live peacefully. But now, it was clear that the biological daughter of Feng Longsong had instructed the servants to kill him and he believed in the theory of return hatred for hatred and consistently adhered to this faith! However Feng Yao was biological daughter of Feng Longsong and Long Yu had an intense feeling of debt of gratitude towards him, at the same time he had waves of hatred in his heart for Feng Yao. He found himself in a precarious situation. Overwhelmed with mixed emotions he was really confused and did not know how to do deal with it. ¡°Gratitudees first, hatred should be the second and revengees in the end.¡± Long Yu quickly made his final decision. There was a clear hatred in his heart, but he set his mind to throw this hatred out because this time, the debt of gratitude was greater than the duty to revenge. If Long Yu really wanted to take revenge, he would have to kill Feng Yao and it would definitely hurt Feng Longsong, and it would make Long Yu to suffer from guilt feeling. Now he had entered into the world of Wudao and didn¡¯t want to harbor feelings of guilt or hatred in his heart which could prove to be a hindrance in practicing martial arts. Of course, to have both gratitude and revenge, he must have a robust cultivation, otherwise both would prove to be nothing more than just empty talks. Long Yu thought it clearly and began to exin: ¡°This morning, two servants came to me, saying that n head wants to buy some debris .I was actually in doubt, but they followed me to the outside of the town and when we reached on the bank of the river they suddenly tried to kill me¡­¡­.as I said that at that critical juncture an unexpected person suddenly appeared from nowhere, and saved me, in reality, the person was simply nonexistent .I was able toe back alive because this incident was actually a blessing in disguise for me, as in the nick of time, I finally entered into the world of Wudao!¡± He entered into the world of Wudao! These words came to Feng Longsong like the sound of thunder from the top of the sky and an excited look immediately emerged on his face. ¡°Little Yu, now you can practice?¡± Feng Longsong was extremely excited and stood up! Chapter 4 – Feng clan’s young master Feng n¡¯s young master Long Yu could practice? It was definitely big and good news for Feng Longsong. It had be a heart-knot for Feng Longsong when Long Yu was unable to practice. In this world filled with martial artists, one who couldn¡¯t practice was actually considered a waste! ¡°Now, I can practice, and I have also entered the firstyer of Wudao.¡± Long Yuughed and nodded. ¡°Yes, yes! It really is a blessing in disguise. You are really lucky!¡± There was a joyful color on the firm and resolute face of Feng Longsong. He put out his hand and grabbed Long Yu¡¯s wrist to check whether the Xuan qi was circting in his meridians and he found out that it was actually circting in his previously blocked meridians. He found out that the blockage in his meridians was gone and he had really entered the firstyer of Wudao. Feng Longsong was very d in his heart that nothing happened to Long Yu otherwise he would regret this for a lifetime. ¡°Foster father, I had to kill those two servants to protect my life¡­¡­¡± Long Yu was a little embarrassed, because the two servants belonged to Feng Longsong and Feng n. ¡°No harm, they wanted to kill you, so they were courting death.¡± Feng Longsong smiled and waved his hand: ¡°You just entered into the world of Wudao and defeated two servants. It¡¯s apparent that your fighting talent is very good. Later, you must practice diligently and work hard, and then only you can grasp the future in your own hands!¡± Grasp the future in one¡¯s own hands! Long Yu nodded seriously because he certainly understood that it was the truth. In the world of martial arts, even if one had high potential andtent talent, but it might note out in the end. This road was extremely hard, and one needed to have a stubborn nature, firm and resolute character, and absolute determination to rise through the challenges to arrive at the pinnacle. ¡°Well, don¡¯t think about it too much.¡± Feng Longsong saw Long Yu¡¯s dignified look, and with a gentle smile on his face, he patted his shoulder and said: ¡°I had prepared a Ling Xuan Pellet for Feng Yao, but she went back in a hurry and I couldn¡¯t get a chance to give it to her. Since, now that you have stepped into the world of Wudao, I will give this to you.¡± Then he pulled out a fine small porcin bottle from his clothes and gave it to Long Yu. ¡°Ling Xuan Pellet!¡± Long Yu was surprised as it was actually a medicinal pill! Medicinal pills helped significantly in the growth of a martial artist. In somerge ns, since childhood, they would consume various medicinal pills and that would help in their cultivation growing faster and greater than an average warrior. ¡°Ling Xuan Pellet is a low grade medicinal pill, and although it is the lowest ranked medicine, but, it would be very useful for you.¡± Feng Longsong said with a smile: ¡°Go and absorb it right now and start practicing, don¡¯t dawdle.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Long Yu did not shirk, after all, he was really in the need of a medicinal pill. As Feng Longsong said earlier, although this Ling Xuan Pellet was a low ranked medicinal pill, but even for Feng Longsong, getting this pill wouldn¡¯t have been so easy. The inherent value of Ling Xuan Pellet was so much that it could meet the cost of living of an ordinary family of three for at least ten years He took the small porcin bottle containing the Ling Xuan Pellet then left for the small courtyard where he lived. Feng Longsong stood at the hall entrance looking at the gradually disappearing back profile of Long Yu and nodded with a quite pleased look in his eyes. ¡°General, now your son has finally stepped into the world of Wudao. Even I never thought that there woulde such a day¡­¡­¡± A trace of tears shed in the eyes of Fen Longsong! In the past, the General had galloped great distances to rush into the area of enemies to kill them, but he never returned. Now, if Long Yu could have high achievements in the field of martial arts then Feng Longsong would be satisfied for his whole life. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. Long Yu was pacing towards his small courtyard. When he had reached halfway, he sensed that a person had suddenly emerged from the side ¡°Waste boy, do you remember what day is it today?¡± An arrogant youth, d in brocade dress, suddenly came in front of Long Yu and blocked his way. He was also apanied by the two Feng n servants and not just that haughty boy, even the two Feng servants were giving contempt looks to Long Yu. Feng Luo! Long Yu lightly smiled: ¡°So it is the young master Feng Luo, how can I possibly forget about what day it is today?¡± Formerly when Long Yu couldn¡¯t practice, young master Feng Luo relied on his young master¡¯s status to always beat him up and grab his monthly expenses given by the Pce hall. ¡°Oh, don¡¯t try to feign ignorance.¡± Feng Luo looked disdainfully and groaned: ¡°Little guy, hand over the monthly expenses, anyway you cannot practice because you are a waste. What will you do with so much money, it will all go to waste, so you might as well just give it to me so I can raise my strength!¡± In front of Long Yu, a waste, the arrogance of this young master had fully boosted up, after all, he was at the thirdyer of Wudao. Although the Wudao thirdyer was nothing for others, but for a waste like Long Yu, it was extremely powerful! ¡°The money I take from you, you definitely don¡¯t use it for practicing right? I bet you will use it for seeking pleasure!¡± Long Yu contemptuously smiled: ¡°Really? But I think that giving my monthly expenses to you would actually be a waste of resources.¡± ¡°Waste, are you really in a mood of getting beaten?¡± Feng Luo never thought that today¡¯s Long Yu would not be docile like always. He certainly did not know that now Long Yu had stepped into the world of Wudao and there was not much gap left between their strengths. Since Long Yu had been humiliated by him many times so now that he had gained strength, he would naturally not suffer in silence! ¡°Do you think you can fight me, a master of Wudao third stage¡­¡­¡± Long Yu thought, although his strength was lower than that of Feng Luo, but he had a vast experience in killing from his past life, and by activating the Azure Dragon mark and gaining Wudao secondyer¡¯s strength of 1000 Jin, he might be able to utilize his killing skills properly and wouldn¡¯t necessarily lose to Feng Luo. However, at that moment, a loud shout arrived from far away. ¡°Stop! Feng Luo, what are you doing?¡± Feng Longsong¡¯s figure appeared in the distance! ¡°Feng Longsong?¡± Theplexion on Feng Luo¡¯s face suddenly changed and he clenched his teeth then said: ¡°We leave, as for you waste boy, you are in luck today.¡± Then, with the two servants, he walked away. I was in luck? Long Yu watched the leaving figure of Feng Luo, and with a faint smile, he thought to himself, as who exactly was in luck today! Feng Longsong saw the retreating figure of Feng Luo, but he didn¡¯te, he just smiled towards Long Yu and then turned around and went back. Long Yu gave a side nce at the leaving figure of Feng Longsong, then turned around and left. ¡°Feng Luo has a big brother named Feng Yun, and long ago, he joined one of the sevenrge Sects of Tang State, the famous Zhentian Sect, and now, he is already a core disciple¡­¡­¡± In his own small courtyard, Long Yu thought to himself: ¡°As he has been able to be a core disciple then his cultivation would have already surpassed that of the foster father, but the most important thing is that he is still young, and in the future, I am afraid, he might rece foster father and be the head of the n.¡± Feng Luo was so arrogant and would tantly challenge and abuse Long Yu, but even after knowing all that, Feng Longsong never interfered because of his strong big brother, Feng Yun. Every year at the annualpetition of the Feng n, Feng Yao would always lose to Feng Yun, which clearly showed how strong he really was. ¡°If I can quickly raise my cultivation then I may be able to help foster father.¡± Long Yu had firmly determined in his heart to return the favor for the mountain of favors he had received from Feng Longsong. How could Long Yu not do anything to help his foster father when the position of the head of the n would be snatched by someone else? Tightly holding the small porcin bottle in his hand, he continued to walk, but this time, his steps were more firm and resolute than before! Chapter 5 – Wudao second layer Wudao secondyer Long Yu was sitting cross-legged inside the room. He had closed his eyes and was trying to control his breath. He had just consumed the Ling Xuan Pellet and it was helping him in slowly absorbing the divine Lingqi. It melted down inside his body and started refining his body enhancing his cultivation. This pellet was actually a kind of immortality pill and was refined from various medicinal ingredients which when consumed could refine the body of the practitioner and could also maximize the effects of medicinal herbs and other raw materials. For example, although, Ling Xuan Pellet was a low-grade medicine, but once consumed and assimted, it could provide results equivalent to the six months of rigorous cultivation for a warrior! It was clear that if a warrior had enough money, then he could purchase a variety of immortality pills which could help his cultivation to grow quickly than others, but there was w in this. After a warrior had consumed an immortality pill, his body would produce antibodies for the same immortality pill, and if he would try to consume the same pillter then the effects would be greatly reduced. ¡®¡¯Cultivation talent and immortality pill absorption capacity differs from warrior to warrior. I do not know what my absorption capacity is.¡± Long Yu was thinking while the Ling Xuan Pellet had started to circte the Xuan qi in his meridians. An extremely rich Lingqi began to emanate from the Ling Xuan Pellet in his body and started getting absorbing by his meridians while the Xuan qi was also rapidly circting in the meridians of his body .He could clearly feel that the Lingqi released from the immortality pills was being converted into his own Xuan qi. He originally had a very less amount of Xuan qi in his body but it had started to expand gradually. His strength of 1000 Jin had also started to increase gradually. 1100 Jin¡­¡­ 1200 Jin¡­¡­ Soon, the Ling Xuan Pellet hadpletely melted in his body and had changed into divine Lingqi, however he had been unable topletely absorb the generated divine Lingqi. ¡°So, I can only absorb 30% Lingqi from the immortality pills.¡± Long Yu was soon disappointed as 30% absorption capacity of immortality pills was at the same level as Feng Yao. In fact, the absorption capacity of 30% of Lingqi generated from the immortality pills was considered very good for the warriors in the Tianyu Continent, and with an absorption capacity of 30%, if one entered into the sevenrge Sects of the Tang State, he would be counted among the top disciples, because the average absorption capacity for the warriors was generally in the range of 10% to 20%. However, in the previous life, Long Yu was the King of Killers, and had always been quite strict with himself. Since now he had entered into world of Wudao then he wouldn¡¯t stop until he would reach the pinnacle of the martial arts. ¡°A mere 30% absorption capacity of Lingqi from the immortality pills is not enough!¡± Long Yu tightly clenched his fists, but suddenly, at this very moment, he felt that Azure Dragon Mark on his chest was heating up. ¡°What?¡± Long Yu scowled and wrinkled his eyebrows. Could it be that this Azure Dragon mark had some other mysterious abilities as well? While he was still thinking, a mysterious power emerged out of the mark and began to circte in his meridians. Long Yu made a shocking discovery that the Lingqi, generated from the Ling Xuan Pellet, which he couldn¡¯t absorb and should have been wasted, had actually been absorbed by his body under the effect of this mysterious power. ¡°This is so against the heaven¡¯s will!¡± Long Yu¡¯s heart thumped heavily and he had an incredible feeling throughout his body. With the help of the mysterious power generated by the Azure Dragon Mark, Long Yu¡¯ body had been able to fully absorb the Lingqi present in the Ling Xuan Pellet and his cultivation had also broken through to the Wudao secondyer. After reaching the secondyer of Wudao, he had also gained the massive strength of 2000 Jin. After breaking through to the Wudao secondyer, the Lingqi generated from the Ling Xuan Pellet, which couldn¡¯t be consumed by the body of Long Yu, had actually been stored up in his Dantian. Although Azure Dragon mark had made it possible for him to absorb 100% Lingqi from the Ling Xuan Pellet but he couldn¡¯t assimte this surplus Lingqi as he had just experienced a breakthrough into the Wudao secondyer, so his cultivate state had not yet consolidated, so it would be better to absorb the surplus Lingqi, currently stored in his Dantian, after fully consolidating his state in the Wudao secondyer. At the same time, he also found out that when he entered into the Wudao secondyer, the Azure Dragon Mark on his chest had changed a bit and he didn¡¯t know what this change signified. ¡°Just what is this Azure Dragon Mark¡­¡­¡± With the help of the mysterious ability of Azure Dragon Mark, now, he could fully absorb and assimte the immortality pills which would greatly help him in increasing his power giving him an edge over his opponents. In other words, under the same practice conditions and practice resources, his practice speed would be three times more than a genius like Feng Yao! It seemed that relying on this Azure Dragon Mark, he would be able to quickly catch up with other peers reducing the gap between him and others, and soon, he might be able to surpass them. Azure Dragon Mark had be his biggest secret, and he had not even told Feng Longsong about it, because the abilities of this mysterious mark were extremely shocking for anyone. For the next few days, Long Yu concentrated on consolidating his cultivation in his room. Except Fen Longsong, nobody in the Feng n knew that now he could practice. On that day, Feng Longsong went to investigate the assassination attempt on his foster son. He wanted to know the identity of the two servants who had been assigned to assassinate Long Yu. After searching for a while, he found their dead bodies in the river and was greatly startled. Out of the two dead servants, one was actually at the secondyer of Wudao. In other words, Long Yu had just entered into the world of Wudao, and he was able to kill a servant of Wudao secondyer? This was truly incredible. Feng Longsong would not disclose this matter to anyone because he knew that there were many in the Feng n who despised Long Yu and if they came to know that now he could practice then they would definitely try to eliminate him before he would grow stronger and might turn into a possible threat to them. After three days. Long Yu had fully consolidated his cultivation at the Wudao secondyer and now he could disy the strength of 2000 Jin. He was satisfied with his progress and left his small courtyard. Next, he wanted to visit the Feng n¡¯s Martial Court to pick twelve feats of martial arts practice. Although, in the previous life, he was extremely skilled in assassinations and killing techniques which had also made him famous as the King of Killers, but in the Tianyu Continent, those techniques alone couldn¡¯t guarantee his safety. In this world, there were various types of martial arts techniques used by the martial artists, and what was most troublesome that they could use the incredible might of Xuan qi in those techniques, making them even harder to deal with. Long Yu still didn¡¯t know how to actually use the Xuan qi in martial arts and he needed to learn all these things. Feng n, Martial Court¡­. When Long Yu arrived at the entrance of Martial Court, many juniors of the Feng n began to look at him with curious looks in their eyes. Why would a waste like him who couldn¡¯t practicee to the Martial Court? The Feng n was one of the four major ns in the Yu Guan city, so it was natural that it had hundreds of descendants, with many branch families. That¡¯s why there were a lot of people present there. Feng n juniors would generally visit the Martial Court to choose martial art techniques for practicing. When Long Yu was about to enter into the entrance of the Martial Court, suddenly a haughty voice came from the front: ¡°Oh it¡¯s you, ha ha, everyone, look who hase, isn¡¯t it that waste boy who can¡¯t practice?¡± When people heard these words, the surroundings immediately resounded with a loud chorus sound ofughter. Long Yu raised his head to take a look and saw that it was Feng Luo, the young master of the Feng n, who hade to take his money three days ago, and there was a also condescending look in his eyes! ¡°Feng Luo, what do you want?¡± Long Yu said lightly. ¡°Waste, you even dare toe to the Marital Court. Don¡¯t tell me you havee to choose a martial arts technique for practicing?¡± Feng Luo tried to act high and mighty and looked at Long Yu with contempt: ¡°Everyone knows that Xuan qi is necessary to practice martial arts techniques, so how can you even think about practicing when your body cannot produce Xuan qi?¡± ¡°What if I insist to go inside?¡± Long Yu said in cold voice¡­.. Feng Luo had repeatedly bullied him again and again and had also snatched his money many times. Now, he was trying to prevent him from entering the Martial Court! If Long Yu stayed silent now then that would really be an insult to his previous status of the King of Killers. ¡°Do you think you can go inside?¡± Feng Luo was looking at Long Yu with a look of disdain in his eyes: ¡°If you sincerely want to go inside and have a look at the incredible martial arts techniques present in the Feng n¡¯s Martial Court, then first you will have to demonstrate your sincerity. All you need to do is take three punches and ten ps on the face from me, and then you get on your knees and go inside while crawling. I am a very generous person right?¡± Three punches, ten ps on the face then crawl inside? Many juniors of Feng n present in the surroundings were watching this scene with great interest, although Feng Luo was only at the thirdyer of Wudao, but inparison to a waste like Long Yu, he was still strong enough. A waste like Long Yu, who even dared toe to Feng n martial Court, really deserved to be humiliated. They¡¯d like to see what would happen to him in the end. Chapter 6 – Feng Clan will not welcome Chapter 6 Feng n will not wee With a look of disdain in his eyes Feng Luo was standing in front of Long Yu at the Martial Court. ¡°Three punches, ten ps on the face then crawl inside?¡± Long Yu asked in a calm demeanor. Even the servants of the Feng n were allowed to enter the Martial Court without any problem, but at present, Long Yu, the adopted son of the Fen n¡¯s head wanted to enter the Martial Court, then he would have to kowtow to others? This was simply ridiculous. Long Yu was being bullied because the influence of Feng Longsong as Feng n¡¯s head had watered away. He was soon going to be substituted from his position as the n head. ¡°Well, young master Feng Luo is generous, if not so, then a waste like him should be kicked out of the Feng n.¡± Feng Luo¡¯s eyes squinted disdainfully as he was looking at Long Yu. ¡°Is that so?¡± Long Yu sneered. He was not anxious to get involved and shifted his vision towards the side of the entrance of the Martial Court. The Martial Court used to have guards near its entrance and today¡¯s guard was an elder from a coteral branch of the Feng n, named Feng Tianxiang. Long Yu looked at Feng Tianxiang. He looked like an old senile man, his beard and hair were all white, but his cultivation could not be underestimated. The cultivation of Feng Luo could not bepared to his cultivation. When he discovered that Long Yu was looking at him, he slightly opened his eyes, waved his hand andnguidly said: ¡°Just as the young master Feng Luo said, unless you take three punches and ten ps on the face from him then get on your knees and crawl, you will not be allowed to enter the Martial Court.¡¯¡¯ As the juniors of the Feng n heard these words, theyughed loudly with a look of ridicule on their faces. ¡°This Long Yu is really a waste, and doesn¡¯t he know that elder Tianxiang is also a person of our Feng n. He actually tried to ask him for help!¡± ¡°Ridiculous, this waste should be ousted from the Feng n. His living here is simply a waste of food for the Feng n.¡± ¡°It is said that this waste was expelled from an influential aristocratic n of Imperial City, and now, he shamelessly came to freeload in our Feng n.¡± Long Yu was listening to these junior¡¯s taunts but there was a faint smile on his face and this was a smile of indifference. It seemed like this Feng n would never ept him! In the entire Feng n, it was only Feng Longsong who had always been generous to him. Earlier, when he couldn¡¯t practice and stayed at home all the time, then he would be humiliated by these people who would call him a waste. But now that he wanted to enter the Martial Court to choose a martial arts technique then he had actually encountered so many obstacles. ¡°If Feng n doesn¡¯t want to ept me then I don¡¯t need to tolerate anymore!¡± Long Yu was tenacious and a person of tough character, so naturally he wouldn¡¯t suffer anymore humiliation. Now he had entered into the world of Wudao and if he stayed with the Feng n then that would cause problems for Feng Longsong. Right now he was weak, so he decided that it was better to leave Feng n and go out to have experiences in life, and after getting stronger, he woulde back to help his foster father. But before leaving, he would definitely teach this arrogant bully, Feng Luo, a lesson he would never forget in his life. ¡°Feng Luo!¡± Long Yu stepped forward and his eyes revealed indifference when he looked at Feng Luo: ¡°You keep on saying that I am a waste, but if one day, this waste steps on you and puts you under his foot, then what would that make you?¡± Bang! These words were like a thunderp and shocked everyone who was present there. How could this waste even dare to say such a thing? A waste, who could not practice, actually dared to say that he would bring a Wudao thirdyer master, Feng Luo, under his foot! A warrior at Wudao thirdyer possessed the strength of 4000 Jin. Even a punch with such strength could turn Long Yu into meat paste! In the Martial Court, everyone was staring at Long Yu. They thought that this waste had turned crazy. He actually dared to say such provocative words to the young master Feng Luo. Young master Feng Luo came in the direct line of descendants of the Feng n and was the younger brother of Feng Yun, so even if he killed Long Yu, nothing would happen to him. Everyone thought that this waste was courting death. Perhaps he was insulted to such an extent that he had gone crazy? ¡°What did you say?¡± The triumphant look on his face instantly changed to a cold one. When it came to strength, he ---------indeed didn¡¯t hold a good position in the Feng n. Feng Yao had the same age as him, but she had already entered the Wudao seventhyer and had also be a disciple of Hanbing Sect. But he had never been able to break through from the bottleneck of Wudao thirdyer into the Wudao fourthyer, so he was not ----qualified to join any major Sects. He would always brood in his heart, but now this waste Long Yu actually said that he would step on him and put him underfoot? This was simply outrageous! ¡°Waste, you are courting death! I will waste your leg and let you know the consequences of thoughtlessly saying those words to me!¡± Feng Luo looked extremely furious. He dashed forward and condensed the strength of Wudao thirdyer in his hands. Wudao thirdyer granted the strength of 4000 Jin. Three days ago, Long Yu would not have necessarily been his match. But three days ago, he had consumed Ling Xuan Pellet and had also stepped into the secondyer of Wudao and had gained the strength of 2000 Jin. After the activation of Azure Dragon Mark, he would also get an additional strength of 1000 Jin. With the strength of 3000 Jin coupled with the umted experience of killing from his past life, Long Yu would have no difficulty to deal with Feng Luo. Feng Luo had been unable to breakthrough from the bottleneck of Wudao thirdyer and he certainly could notprehend any profound martial arts so his battle efficiency was considered quite weak. ¡°Die!¡± With a fierce look in his eyes, Feng Luo condensed the strength of 4000 Jin in his right fist, and released a dark aura, as ifing straight from theherworld itself. His appearance resembled that of an Asura while he brandished his fist towards the chest of Long Yu. ¡°Asura hand, it is one of the martial arts technique of Martial Court. This Feng Luo has alreadyprehended it to the Xiao Cheng level!¡± ¡°This waste is doomed! Earlier, he had not been able to practice but after this fight, he will lose a leg and be crippled!¡± ¡°Asura hand, if practiced to the Da Cheng level then just the aura released by the practitioner can scare the people, but what a pity that even after practicing for so many years, Feng Luo has onlyprehended it to Xiao Cheng level.¡± ¡°Feng Luo doesn¡¯t need Asura hand to deal with a waste like Long Yu. In fact, he doesn¡¯t need a martial arts technique against a waste.¡± Juniors of the Feng n were talking among themselves while pointing towards the two. No one thought that Long Yu would be able to escape from such an attack. In fact, Long Yu did not want to escape. Hemunicated with the Azure Dragon Mark through his thoughts and activated it. Immediately a mysterious strength flooded in his limbs and bones. Strength of 3000 Jin! Except the strength, Long Yu was better than Feng Luo when it came to fighting skill and battle experience. While facing Feng Luo¡¯s punch, Long Yu quickly came into action, and tilted his body sideways to dodge the punch, and instantly swept his leg towards the front. ¡°What!¡± With a force 3000 Jin, Long Yu¡¯s leg heavily kicked on the knee of Feng Luo. He could not bear the intense pain from the force present in the kick and fell down with a ¡°bang¡± on the ground while screaming loudly. Smack! Long Yu lifted his foot and stepped on the back of Feng Luo, lying on the ground, with a faint smile on his face: ¡°This guy is really so weak, I thought he would be stronger.¡± A pin drop silence spread in the Martial Court. Just one move and Long Yu had brought down Feng Luo underfoot! Everyone was dumbstruck as they could not believe their own eyes. What just happened? A waste who could not practice had used one move to push down the young master on the ground and had put him underfoot. ¡°This, this, how is this possible?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t he a waste? But that kick just now seemed to contain strength of 2000 or maybe 3000 Jin!¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible, I must have dazzled.¡± Many people rubbed their eyes, but when they opened their eyes, they saw the same scene once again. They were now totally speechless because Long Yu¡¯s foot was still on the back of young master Feng Luo. In their minds, for a moment, the provocative words of Long Yu resounded ¨C ¡°If one day, a waste like me steps on you and puts you under his foot, then what would that make you?¡± What would that make him? Of course, worse than a waste! On the ground, with Long Yu¡¯s foot on his back, Feng Luo felt as if the whole sky had fallen down upon him. He had actually been defeated by a waste and that too in one move! ¡°How is this possible, you are obviously just a waste¡­¡­¡± Feng Luo clenched his teeth and his eyes had be blood shot. ¡°Yes, I am a waste, but you are worse than a waste.¡± Long Yu said lightly: ¡°I think you said that you will waste my leg? If that¡¯s the case then I should do the same to you right!¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Feng Tianxiang, who was sitting near the entrance Martial Court, finally reacted! He was quick simr to the gust of wind and there was a stern countenance shing in his eyes: ¡®¡¯Violence is not allowed near the Martial Court and those who resort to violence here will court death.¡¯¡¯ Long Yu stood calmly and sneered: ¡°Are you blind or what?¡± When Feng Luo had arrogantly said to break his leg and attacked him, then this Feng Tianxiang did not bother about it. But, now that Long Yu wanted to retaliate then he finally decided toe out and preach the principle of non-violence in the Martial Court. It was simply ridiculous! Although Feng Tianxiang was fast, but after all, there was still a long distance between him and Long Yu. His speed was fast but was inferior to Long Yu¡¯s quick action! Long Yu raised his foot and heavily stepped down. Kacha! Everyone heard a clear sound of breaking bone and looks on their faces immediately change. ¡°A waste like you actually dared to cripple young master!¡± A furious look shed in the eyes of Feng Tianxiang and his stature fiercely sped in the direction of Long Yu! Today, he was on the guard duty of Martial Court, but Feng Luo¡¯s leg was wasted right in front of him which was simply a great insult, moreover this had put him in a very bad situation. He knew very well that Feng Luo was the younger brother of Feng Yun who was going to be the future head of the Feng n! ¡°Waste, since you have courted your own death, you cannotin about anything. Even if you have somehow entered into the world of Wudao, but I will cripple you, just to let you know that a waste will always be a waste!¡± Feng Tianxiang was extremely angry. He instantly used the technique Asura hand which was actually at the Da Cheng level. If this was to hit Long Yu, then rather than just getting crippled, he would instantly die! ¡°What¡¯s going on here?¡± Just when Feng Tianxiang was about to approach Long Yu, a deep voice resounded, and only after an instant, a tall figure arrived right in front of Long Yu. Feng n¡¯s head, Feng Longsong had finally arrived at the scene. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ (Mystique: For those who say I dy in releasing the chapters . You must know that my release schedule has three regr chapters, one each on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and they may get dyed but at the end of the week, you will get three regr chapters so don¡¯t mail me everyday asking why the chapters have note out. Release schedule just tells you how many regr and sponsored chapters I can handle in a week, it doesn¡¯t represent that I am time bound to release chapters before a fixed time or date.) Chapter 7 – Maiden in red Chapter-7 Maiden in red Bang! After a loud noise, the two figures quickly separated. Feng Longsong firmly stood in front of Long Yu, and didn¡¯t retreat even half a step, steady as a rock! But, the elder Feng Tianxiang withdrew several steps after the collision and hisplexion immediately paled and started to gasp. It was obvious that he had lost to Feng Longsong in terms of strength. ¡°Feng Longsong, you are the head of Feng n then how can you tolerate when an outsider actually dares to enter the Martial Court?¡± Feng Tianxiang stared at Feng Longsong and said in a stern voice. ¡°Well, that¡¯s what you think, but in my eyes, Long Yu is a member of Feng n.¡± Feng Longsong indifferently said: ¡°So that being the case, I will give my final judgment being the head of the n. For no reason, Feng Luo initiated a fight in front of the Martial Court and even attacked first on Long Yu, so now that his leg is wasted, it will be considered as his punishment for starting violence in front of Martial Court! Hence, Long Yu is not guilty.¡± ¡°You are going too far!¡± Feng Tianxiang was so furious that it seemed as if his eyes were emitting fire. ¡°Don¡¯t pretend, you know very well who is right and who is wrong.¡± As stern countenance shed in the eyes of Feng Longsong: ¡°Since you cannot differentiate right from wrong, let me enlighten you. As the Head of the Feng n, I ask of you, Feng Tianxiang, the elder who is on guard duty today at the Martial Court. How did you tolerate when the children of our Feng n were resorting to violence in front the Martial Court, which is strictly prohibited by the rules of the n. Following the Feng n¡¯s code of conduct, as an elder, you have tried to overlook the vition of the rule, so I deprive you of your elder¡¯s status, and from now on, you do not need to guard the Martial Court anymore.¡± ¡°You!¡± Feng Tianxiang looked at Feng Longsong with a killing intent shing in his eyes: ¡°Feng Longsong, how can you deprive me of my elder¡¯s status?¡± ¡°Using the authority of the head of Feng n, I can.¡± Feng Longsong said in a dignified manner suiting his status as the head of the n. At this moment, Feng Tianxiang¡¯splexionpletely turned ashen. This time, it was over for him! Not only was he deprived of his elder¡¯s status, Feng Luo was also crippled right in front of him and he couldn¡¯t stop it,ter when Feng Yun and the father of the two brothers came to know about this incident, he would face severe consequences¡­¡­ When Feng Tianxiang thought of this, his vision blurred with hatred and anger as he stared at Long Yu. He thought that this ill fate had befallen him just because of this waste. If only this waste didn¡¯t exist then he would not be facing this tragic situation! But, not once did he realize that he himself was the reason that his ill fate had befallen him. ¡°Little Yu, are you alright?¡± Feng Longsong turned towards Long Yu and asked in a soft tone with a smile on his face. ¡°I am alright, many thanks to foster father for looking out for me.¡± Long Yu shook his head. ¡°Such being the case, why don¡¯t you hurry up and pick some martial art technique from the Martial Court.¡± Feng Longsong said while smiling. ¡°No need for that, foster father, I want to go out and wander the world and have my own adventures.¡± Long Yu shook his head, since he had already decided to leave the Feng n, then he wouldn¡¯t touch the martial arts techniques of Feng n. ¡°Wander the world?¡± Feng Longsong couldn¡¯t help but gawked for a moment, but he immediately smiled in a gratified manner and whispered in his ears: ¡°Good, good, now that you are capable enough to have beaten Feng Luo in just one move, I think you can protect yourself in the outside world. Your father has an old friend in Zhentian Sect, so why don¡¯t you go there and have a look?¡± ¡°Zhentian Sect, good.¡± Long Yu nodded. His father had an old friend in Zhentian Sect, who could that be? At present, he certainly did not know, so first he would need to go to Zhentian Sect to find out. Since he had already decided to go, certainly, the sooner the better, and both Feng Longsong and Long Yu immediately left the Martial Court to help Long Yu prepare for the journey. Long Yu followed Feng Longsong and left the Martial Court, and the news about what happened outside the Martial Court soon spread throughout the Feng n. The rumor spread like forest fire that Long Yu, who was supposed to be a waste, could practice now and was no longer a waste. He was not a waste, and not just that, he actually wasted a leg of Feng Luo, so he was quite ruthless as well! Then the news spread that Long Yu would soon leave to join Hanbing Sect, one of sevenrge Sects of Tang State. ¡°That waste is going to join one of the sevenrge Sects? That¡¯s just wishful thinking!¡± ¡°Just because he defeated Feng Luo, that idiot thinks he is talented enough to dream about joining one of therge Sects, how ridiculous.¡± ¡°No one can say for sure, the daughter of the n head is a disciple of the Hanbing Sect, maybe that waste Long Yu joins the Hanbing Sect based on his rtionship with her? Ha ha!¡± A group of Feng n members were talking about, but they did not know that they had actually obtained false news. Long Yu was going to the Zhentian Sect instead of Hanbing Sect. The Hanbing Sect was located towards the north of the Yu Guan city and Zhentian Sect was located in the southern direction of Yu Guan city. Both these Sects were located in the opposite directions and were separated by several thousand miles from each other! This was the n of Long Yu all along because he knew that now that he had crippled Feng Luo, some people wouldn¡¯t give up ande after him for sure. For the next two days, Feng Luo¡¯s father and Feng Longsong¡¯s brother, Feng Longtian brought up the matter about his son and caused havoc several times. Once Long Yu would leave the Yu Guan City, the opposite party would most likely pursue him! Now that the false news had spread, even if the other side wanted to pursue him, it would be impossible for them to find the trail of Long Yu. Three dayster at night, a horse had been arranged for Long Yu. Feng Longsong had also prepared some money for Long Yu¡¯s journey and gave it to him and secretly saw him off on the southern side of Yu Guan City. Zhentian Sect was thousands of miles away from the Yu Guan City and even if he was riding a horse, it would take him several days to reach there. ¡°Foster father must have put a lot of effort in obtaining a Ling Xuan Pellet and I still haven¡¯t finished assimting all of the Lingqi generated from it. Itsplete absorption should be my top priority.¡± When he was leaving, he looked back and gazed upon the Yu Guan city that was currently bathed in moonlight. This was the city where lived the one and only person who was concerned about him, Feng Longsong. ¡°Rest assured foster father, I will grow stronger as soon as possible. In the Feng npetition three monthster, I wille back to be your helping hand!¡± Long Yu firmly resolved in his heart and elerated in the direction of his goal, Zhentian Sect. After Long Yu suddenly vanished, in the Yu Guan City, the movements could be seen among the members of Feng n in the Yu Guan City. Many martial artists secretly rushed towards the north, in order to kill Long Yu on the way, but they never found any trace of him, of course, they soon realized that they had been fooled! ¡°Little Yu, now Feng n will no longer be peaceful. If you can enter into the Zhentian Sect, then I would want you to stay there. It would be much better for your safety to stay away from the Feng n.¡± Standing at the top of the Feng n¡¯s mansion, Feng Longsong continued to look into the distance for a long time then finally sighed. The current Feng n is in a precarious situation. Perhaps, at the Feng n¡¯spetition three monthster, the new n head will be decided! ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­.. For the next three days, Long Yu enjoyed riding a horse and rushed in the direction of Zhentian Sect. During these three days, he had started to slowly absorb the surplus Lingqi umted in his Dantian, and by the time he would arrive at the Zhentian Sect, he would already have broken through to the Wudao thirdyer. Wudao thirdyer granted the strength of 4000 Jin, and after activating the Azure Dragon Mark, he could gain an additional strength of 1000 Jin and could be stronger than any other martial artist of Wudao thirdyer. After he stepped into the thirdyer of Wudao, he noticed that the Azure Dragon Mark changed once again, but Long Yu still couldn¡¯t figure out what this change actually represented and gave up. Early in the morning, Long Yu finally saw endless towering mountain range from afar. He knew that Zhentian Sect was located somewhere on these mountain ranges! ¡°Zhentian Sect, one of the sevenrge Sects of Tang State, just like Feng Yao¡¯s Hanbing Sect. I wonder how it would be to join such arge Sect.¡± Long Yu rode forward and looking at the mountain ranges, he remembered the records he had read at the Feng n: ¡°Wudao ninthyer is not the finalyer, and above Wudao ninthyer, there is another stronger martial realm. But martial artists of this realm can only be found inrge Sects like Zhentian Sect ¡­¡­ I must hurry up and gain great strength!¡± In less than half an hour, Long Yu stopped not far away from the mountain range, and in front of him, there was a canyon. It was called Zhentian canyon and was the only way through which one could enter the Zhentian Sect. Many martial cultivators hade to join the Zhentian Sect, and as long as one could pass though the Zhentian canyon, they would pass the assessment, but if they couldn¡¯t cross the Zhentian canyon then they won¡¯t be epted. Near the entrance of Zhentian canyon, a group of hundreds of martial cultivators, who hade from the nearby regions, were discussing the countermeasures for dealing with this test. All of these martial cultivators wanted to join the Zhentian Sect, and ording to the rules, only young cultivators with their ages not over 18 years old could participate in the assessment. Long Yu was exactly eighteen years old and he didn¡¯t have an option to wait for one more year. ¡°Hey you over there, the one riding the horse, quicklye over here and attend to the Xiaojie!¡± (Mystique- She is referring to herself as Xiaojie which means youngdy or young miss; it¡¯s a princess like way of referring to herself as Xiaojie) Suddenly an iparably arrogant female voice passed over and Long Yu slightly frowned. He tilted his head to look in the direction of that female voice and saw an arrogant looking girl wearing a red dress and was proudly walking towards him while being escorted by a group of servants. ¡°I am talking to you, what do you look so puzzled?¡± When the arrogant young girl looked at the frowning face of Long Yu, an impatient color shed in her eyes and said: ¡°Since you are riding a horse then you should know how to take care of a horse right? Xiaojie wants to enter the Zhentian canyon, so during this time, you will take care of Xiaojie¡¯s horse. She is called white snow. But if something happened to her then you would be held responsible for that and face consequences!¡± The maiden spoke while pointing her finger to a pure-white horse that she just referred to as ¡°white snow¡±. After saying, she gave a condescending look to Long Yu, as if letting him to take care of her horse was a big honor for him. Seeing this scene, many people surrounded and suddenly began to murmur. ¡°It is Tan Yue, so she had alsoe to join the Zhentian Sect. It seems that today, at least one person will certainly climb the Zhentian canyon.¡¯¡¯ ¡°Tan Yue, who is she? She seems like an unruly girl to me, what is her background?¡± ¡°Hush, if she heard you then you will suffer a miserable fate! She belongs to one of four respected ns of Yu Guan city, Tan n, and it is said that head of the Tan n is at the ninthyer of Wudao and in the entire Yu Guan City, no one is his match!¡± ¡°Not only that, long ago, her elder brother had joined the Zhentian Sect and is ranked among the top three inner disciples!¡± Listening to the discussions of the crowd, the pretty girl proudly puffed her chest, and acent look emerged in her eyes, as if she was this world¡¯s most noble peacock princess. However, in the eyes of Long Yu, this young girl was nothing more than a fool. This arrogant girl actually thought that she would just catch a man on horseback at the entrance of Zhentian canyon and he would politely agree to be her servant. Did she actually think that she could just dictate anyone and make them to take care of her horse? From his previous life¡¯s experience, Long Yu knew the exact word to describe the condition of such a girl, and that was ¡°princess disease!¡± Long Yu did not pay attention to that arrogant Tan Yue and turned around to go straight towards the Zhentian canyon. He didn¡¯t want to waste time and wanted to join the Zhentian Sect as soon as possible to get stronger. He directly rushed into the Zhentian canyon, why would he waste his time outside? And as far as the matter of taking care of Tan Yue¡¯s silly looking white horse was concerned, it was naturally impossible. Looking at this action of Long Yu, everyone was stunned. This ck-clothed kid actually dared to defy the words of Tan Yue? He was really asking for death! Sure enough, when she saw that Long Yu ignored her and turned to leave, the arrogant look on her face immediately changed to a cold one. She never thought that in these regions, there would be a young guy who could actually dare to ignore her! Chapter 8 – into the canyon Chapter-8 into the canyon All of a sudden, Tan Yue¡¯s proud face darkened. Long Yu turned to leave and did not even look at her. It was clear that she had lost face and considering her spoiled nature, how could she bear such an insult? ¡°Bring him back, I want to give a p on his face!¡± Tan Yue said in a cold voice to the followers who, at the moment, were standing behind her. They had followed her straight from the Tan n to apany her all the way to the Zhentian Sect. ¡°Young Miss, he has already entered the Zhentian canyon, I am afraid now it will be difficult toy our hands on him.¡± An older warrior said with a look of embarrassment on his face. If only they had caught him outside the Zhentian canyon then no one would have bothered, but now that he had already entered the Zhentian canyon, if they tried to put their hands on him, then it would undoubtedly vite the rules of Zhentian Sect. Even the most influential Tan n of Yu Guan city wouldn¡¯t dare to offend the Zhentian Sect, one of the sevenrge sects of Tang State. Themon people could not imagine the rich resources and heritage held by the Zhentian Sect,pared to which, the resources of the Tan n were close to being called trivial. ¡°Hmph, you all are just a bunch of losers.¡± Tan Yue grunted and walked towards the Zhentian canyon: ¡°From today onwards, I am going to be an outer disciple of the Zhentian Sect. As for that insolent boy who acts blindly, you all wait here, and when hees out of the canyon, break both his hands and legs.¡± ¡°Yes, Miss!¡± Those followers agreed and watched the figure of Tan Yue disappearing into the entrance of Zhentian canyon and felt a chill in their hearts. They knew very well about this Xiaojie¡¯s hot temperament. This ck-clothed boy offended our n¡¯s young miss, now, whether he would be the Zhentian Sect¡¯s disciple or not, but his fate was going to be very miserable! ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. Long Yu stepped into the Zhentian canyon, andpletely concentrated his mind on climbing up this canyon. Regarding Tan Yue, the so-called princess disease, he did not bother to think about her. Long Yu looked up and saw that this Zhentian canyon was a long and narrow valley, and there were steep cliffs on its both sides, and there was a long strip of steps present in the middle, leading to the entrance of the Zhentian Sect located at the top. There were a total of 300 stone steps in this long strip of steps. It was said that if someone tried to climb it up, he would have to face heavy pressure descending from the heaven, and it would prevent him from stepping up further. It was quite impossible to climb these three hundred stone steps for someone without enough strength, perception andprehension. Only those who could sessfully climb up these three hundred stone steps would be able to join the Zhentian Sect and would be the outer disciples. ¡°First, I will try it out and see how it turns out for me.¡± Long Yu thought to himself, and stepped out to step up these three hundred stone steps. As he embarked on the first step, he suddenly felt a heavy pressure descending from the heaven. If his cultivation was not strong enough, perhaps, he would have immediately met a cruel death. Now, Long Yu was at the Wudao thirdyer with strength of 4000 Jin so he could resist this pressure and wouldn¡¯t have any issues temporarily. As Long Yu started stepping out on the stone steps, he faced more and more pressure, and with climbing up every step on the stone steps, the heavy pressure descending from the heaven increased incredibly. With each breath, Long Yu slowly climbed up one step at a time and finally reached the 100th step. Here, Long Yu felt an incredibly heavy pressure! Burst of heavy pressure continued to surge one after another from both sides and Long Yu felt as if he was walking under a waterfall, and now it had be extremely difficult for him to climb even a single step. He gritted his teeth and put an effort to withstand the extremely heavy pressure that had enveloped his whole body, but, his back was still straight and his whole body was covered with beads of sweat, but, it seemed as if both his legs would simply bend down. ¡°Here, the pressure is toorge, to the extent that it¡¯s almost unbearable for me to withstand it. I think it¡¯s impossible to climb all the 300 steps even with the strength of Wudao thirdyer!¡± He looked up and saw that he had yet to cover two-third of the distance! Sure enough, it was said that the entrance examinations held by the sevenrge Sects of the Tang State were quite tough and the entrance requirements were quite strict. If someone wanted to join one of theserge Sects, their age needed to be not more than 18 years and they must also be at least at the Wudao fourthyer. But, Long Yu was not willing to give up, because he hade here with great difficulty and if he wouldn¡¯t give his best now, then after going back, how would he show his face to his foster father? ¡°Zhentian Sect¡¯s assessment exam seems impossible to clear for most of the examinees. But, I don¡¯t think that Zhentian Sect just wants to ept disciples with high cultivation level, they certainly also want talented individuals, in that case, there must be other ways¡­¡­¡± Long Yu clenched his teeth and started thinking, and at this moment, he discovered that there were de-like sharp giant stones present on the cliffs on both sides of the Zhentian canyon and they seemed to be arranged in a specialbination. The special arrangement of these sharp edged giant stones seemed to have Lingqi and it revealed a burst of mysterious breath that moved Long Yu¡¯s heart. Initially, he was facing a heavy pressure on his body, making him unable to withstand the weight on his body, but suddenly, he entered into quite a marvelous state, and in his eyes, those sharp giant stones and the surrounding world seemed to melt and blend in, as if expressing some idea to him. The reason was that Long Yu had observed the giant stones on the both sides and had begun toprehend something! At that time, that arrogant girl, Tan Yue, also entered the Zhentian canyon and saw Long Yu¡¯s figure at the 100th stone step and a disdainful smile appeared on her face. ¡°I thought that he would be much skilled, but he is only a waste at Wudao thirdyer.¡± Tan Yue lifted her head in a haughty manner and started climbing up the stone steps. d in red dress, she looked graceful and very exquisite. Earlier, her brother Tan Jian, an inner disciple of the Zhentian Sect, had told her that one must have the strength of Wudao fourthyer to sessfully climb up all the 300 stone steps of the Zhentian canyon and someone with the strength of Wudao thirdyer could only climb 100 stone steps. She stopped at the 100th stone step where Long Yu was still standing and guessed that his cultivation was only at the Wudao thirdyer. But, she was the treasured granddaughter of Tan n¡¯s head so she was naturally at the fourthyer of Wudao, and it was going to be quite easy for her to climb up all the 300 stone steps and pass the assessment examination. Wudao thirdyer was called a bottleneck and if practitioners could not break through this bottleneck, then no matter how long they would practice, they wouldn¡¯t be able to reach the Wudao fourthyer, just like the young master of Feng n, Feng Luo. But if he broke through the bottleneck, then he would be able to fully utilize the mysterious qi present inside his body which would not only increase his interior strength but his attacking or defensive capabilities would enhance as well, granting him a terrifying strength of 8000 Jin. Tan Yue was at fourthyer of Wudao with strength of 8000 Jin, so withstanding the heavy pressure was quite easy for her and she quickly arrived at the 100th step next to Long Yu and nced at him contemptuously. ¡°Waste, just a master at Wudao thirdyer and dares to disgrace me, you are quite insolent aren¡¯t you?¡± Tan Yue sneered with a look of disdain in her eyes: ¡°You have just made thisdy to lose her face, and since thisdy doesn¡¯t want to hit you and dirty her own hands, wait until you go out of the canyon, then my followers will naturally make you understand the importance of hierarchy!¡± She finished the sentence and thought that it would scare Long Yu and she would get to see a panicked look in his eyes, but, she was totally disappointed. At that time, Long Yu was in one kind of profound mysterious mood, with his eyes closed andprehending. He simply did not hear the words of Tan Yue and was unaware that she was standing next to him. Just like at the entrance of the canyon, she had been ignored yet again by Long Yu! ¡°Well, now you have done it.¡± Tan Yue scowled and looked bitterly at Long Yu, whose eyes were closed at the moment, then continued to climb the steps. In this Zhentian Canyon, she did not dare to hit Long Yu, but she was convinced that being only at Wudao thirdyer, he would not be able to join the Zhentian Sect, so once he woulde out of the canyon, he would surely meet death. The first time Long Yu ignored her, she had decided to cripple him. But, now, he had dared to ignore her the second time, so she decided to kill him! Long Yu knew nothing about all this as he was still immersed in that profound mysterious mood. Not long after, having two times the strength of Long Yu, Tan Yue had easily climbed all the way to the top and had finally set foot on the 300th step. In ordance with the rules, she would now be regarded as the outer disciple of the Zhentian sect. Two Zhentian Sect¡¯s outer disciples came to wee the new disciples and had been ordered to make arrangements for the new disciples of the Zhentian Sect. ¡°Junior sister apprentice Tan Yue, congrattions on bing an outer disciple.¡¯¡¯ A thin man with small eyes said in an extremely ttering manner: ¡°My name is Wu Qing. Brother Tan Jian has made me responsible for arranging things for Sister Tan Yue. On your brother¡¯smand, I have been waiting here for a long time for your arrival.¡± ¡°Wu Qing.¡± Tan Yue looked at the thin-looking Wu Qing and nodded with satisfaction because the look of ttery on his face had obviously made her enjoy making her feel like she was truly a superior princess. ¡°I am called Han Jian, it¡¯s a pleasure to meet Sister Tan Yue.¡± The other disciple looked upright and there was a firm and resolute look present on his square shaped face, but when he looked at Tan Yue, his eyes glowed with a red-hot touch in them. Tan Yue possessed a good status, and was very beautiful, and with just a sight of her, Han Jian had be very much attracted towards her. If he could just get her favor, then won¡¯t he gain some status in the eyes of Brother Tan Jian? ¡°Good, what are your cultivation levels?¡± Tan Yue nodded and arrogantly asked in amanding voice. ¡°I¡¯m at Wudao fourthyer and Brother Han Jian is at fifthyer.¡± Wu Qing immediately answered in a ttering tone. ¡°Fourthyer and fifthyer, good.¡± Tan Yue nodded but suddenly, a fierce look appeared in her eyes: ¡°You two wait here for a moment and apany me. There is a waste standing at the 100th stone step of the canyon and I would like to see how he gives up on the assessment and goes back.¡± ¡°Oh? Someone has actually dared to offend Sister Tan Yue, well, when hees up, I will surely teach him a lesson and let him know whom he shouldn¡¯t offend and what can be its consequences!¡± At present, Wu Qing¡¯s eyes shone brightly as he had just find another way to tter Tan Yue. He didn¡¯t expect that someone would bring him a good opportunity to get close to her heart! ¡°You overestimate him because he is just a waste at the Wudao thirdyer so how can he possiblye up?¡± Tan Yue said with a disdain look in her eyes. ¡°He is just at Wudao thirdyer? I¡¯ll apany Sister Tan in watching a good show.¡± Nearby Han Jian said with a faint smile: ¡°I heard that the heavy pressure of the Zhentian canyon has killed many overconfident people who could notprehend the immensity of its pressure. Those who tried to climb up the stone steps without enough strength ultimately met their cruel ends.¡± When Tan Yue heard this, her face immediately shone brightly. If this was the case, then she should rather verbally stimte that waste kid and make him rush up, and then, she would get a chance to look how he would get crushed under the heavy pressure. Wouldn¡¯t that be very entertaining? The three soon came close to 300th step and looked down to see the ck-clothed Long Yu still parked at the 100th stone step of the canyon. ¡°So he really he is a Wudao thirdyer waste.¡± Wu Qing said contemptuously, though, he himself was only oneyer above the thirdyer but this oneyer difference was still veryrge! At this moment, Long Yu, who was delved deep into the profound mysterious mood, finally opened his eyes and felt as if he had gained the enlightenment. ¡°So this is called the feeling of getting one with the world!¡± And now that he had woken up from theprehension of the mysterious mood, he again started to climb up the steps! Chapter 9 – Zhentian Mysterious Mood Chapter ¨C 9 Zhentian Mysterious Mood Above the Zhentian canyon, there was a peak always crowned with clouds, and at the summit of this peak, the Zhentian Sect had constructed a peaceful and elegant pavilion. In the pavilion, at this time, two old men, d in ck and white colored Chinese robes, were sitting facing each other before a checkerboard and ying chess. Suddenly, a surprised look appeared on the faces of the two elders. They had just perceived the waves of the profound Mysterious mooding from the bottom of the Zhentian canyon. ¡°Elder ck, you also felt.¡± The elder wearing white robe said in a moderate voice. ¡°Mysterious mood.¡± The ck robed elder said in a faint voice. ¡°So young but hasprehended the mysterious mood, although only a trace, but it is still verymendable.¡± The white robed elder said with a smile on his face. Two elders continued to y chess again. Outwardly, they did not seem to care about the things going on at the bottom of the Zhentian canyon, but in reality, their attention had been concentrated on the young man present on the stairs who had been able toprehend the mysterious mood. This terrifying young man, who hadprehended the Mysterious mood, was none other than Long Yu! ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ When Long Yu opened his eyes and felt that heavy pressure of the Zhentian canyon had instantly weakened. ¡°Now it should not be a problem.¡± A confident look shed in the eyes of Long Yu. Now, he could embark on the 300 stone steps of the Zhentian canyon with just the strength of Wudao thirdyer! Even if he had just got the slightest grasp of the Mysterious mood, but he was sure that it would greatly help him in his future cultivation. Long Yu felt that unexpectedly the Azure Dragon Mark on his chest had been quietly giving off heat all this time. He knew well that he couldprehend this Mysterious mood thanks to his inescapable rtionship with the Azure Dragon Mark. He would never forget how the Azure Dragon Mark greatly helped him when he was in need. Gradually, step by step, his climbing pace increased more and more, and he realized that hisprehension of the mysterious mood was also progressing as he continued to climb up. On the 300th stone step, Tan Yue, Wu Qing and Han Jian stood together, and all of them were looking at Long Yu with a contemptuous look in their eyes. ¡°Tell me, how far can he climb at his current cultivation level?¡± Tan Yue asked with interest, as if ying a fun game. ¡°In my opinion, depending on his Wudao thirdyer strength, he can arrive at most at the 150th step, that should be his limit.¡± Wu Qing said in a very affirmative way but his voice revealed a deep disdain. As soon as he finished the sentence, they saw that Long Yu was climbing the stone steps with a good pace and he unexpectedly crossed the 150th stone steps and continued to gradually climb up. Wu Qing¡¯splexion immediately became unsightly. Wasn¡¯t this like a direct p on his face? ¡°Maybe 200 stone steps is his limit.¡± Han Jian said in a rxed tone. He did not seem to be too much concerned about someone at the Wudao thirdyer, because there was a twoyers difference in strength between him and the masters of Wudao thirdyer and their strength was really too weak inparison to his own strength. But, as he just said these words, the unceasingly climbing figure of Long Yu easily reached 200th stone step and continued to climb further! At this time, Tan Yue and the other two disciples felt that they had gone wrong in estimating the strength of Long Yu. ¡°Did he break through?¡± Tan Yue was a little bit surprised. ¡°How can anyone have a breakthrough in such a situation? This guy is certainly cheating and even if he sessfully climbs up all the 300 steps, I will make him know that cheaters are not allowed to join the Zhentian Sect!¡± Wu Qing said and a dark look appeared on his face. Tan Yue nodded ats these words in somewhat satisfied manner. It seemed that Wu Qing was very intelligent and he knew that if they would not find an excuse then they would not be able to put their hands on this waste. Even if that waste boy had a temporary breakthrough into the Wudao fourthyer but they wouldn¡¯t allow him to join the Zhentian Sect! Soon, Long Yu stepped over the 250th stone step and continued to climb up towards his goal. 280 steps. 290 steps. 300 steps! Long Yu finally reached the 300th stone step and after crossing further, he felt that the heavy pressure of the canyon had immediately swept away. He seeded in passing the assessment exam of the Zhentian Sect by climbing up the Zhentian canyon, and ording to the rule, now he could be an outer disciple of the Zhentian Sect! Moreover, Long Yu also had the biggest harvest because he gained an insight about the mysterious mood of Zhentian canyon and he was able toprehend some of it which would benefit in his future developments. Afterprehending the mysterious mood, Long Yu felt as if he had be one with the world, and now, even his random punch could disy a greater strength than before. However, before he had enough time to familiarize himself with the justprehended mysterious mood, three figures came in his sight. ¡°Is that Tan Yue?¡± Long Yu¡¯s brow wrinkled slightly. He looked up and saw Tan Yue and two disciples of the Zhentian Sect walking towards him with evil intentions apparent in their eyes. Long Yu looked at two young men. Their appearance looked as arrogant as the general appearance of Tan Yue, and it was absolutely impossible that they wereing to congratte him on passing the assessment test. One of them had small eyes, thin physique like a monkey, who jumped to arrive in front of Long Yu. It was Wu Qing. With a teasing expression on his face, Wu Qing shouted loudly: ¡°You are a waste and still want to join the Zhentian Sect?¡± By directly calling him ¡°waste¡±, he was precisely aiming to enrage Long Yu. If Long Yu became furious and attacked first then he would easily teach this guy a lesson and he would also get a chance to show off in front of Tan Yue and win her heart. ¡°Waste?¡± Long Yu was calm as usual and looked at Wu Qing with a piercing gaze. ¡°Yes, although you passed the Zhentian canyon test, but it does not represent that you have the qualifications to join our Zhentian Sect.¡± With a look of contempt on his face, Wu Qing said: ¡°My present cultivation is Wudao fourthyer, and if you cannot beat me then you can just get the hell out of here as soon as possible, otherwise you will just lose your face here!¡± Long Yu wrinkled his eyebrows and said in a calm voice: ¡®¡¯Do you have the qualification to decide whether I can join the Zhentian Sect or not?¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± As soon as these words fell into Wu Qing¡¯s years, a wave of anger swept his heart. How did this body dare to not show any respect for him and talk in a haughty manner. His cultivation was really at the bottom in the Zhentian Sect, but he had spent some time on learning some of the martial art techniques of the Zhentian Sect. This boy, who had just stepped up the Zhentian canyon, what qualifications did this guy have to disrespect him? ¡°I mean that you do not have the qualifications to decide whether I can join the Zhentian Sect right?¡± Long Yu took a step forward without fearing Wu Qing. Although Wu Qing was an inner disciple of the Zhentian Sect, perhaps he had practiced the Zhentian Sect¡¯s martial art techniques, but Long Yu wasn¡¯t scared of him, rather, there was a smile on his face, however, behind his smiling face, a killing intent was actually hidden. From the previous life, Long Yu had been an expert at observing the surrounding environment, and presently, just from the manner of their footsteps and movements, he had clearly guessed the cultivation levels of those three. Tan Yue and Wu Qing should be at Wudao fourthyer, and the other person¡¯s cultivation should be one step higher than the other two, perhaps, at the Wudao fifthyer. Now this Wu Qing was rushing to give a performance so Long Yu did not mind giving him a little disgrace. At this time Long Yu was at Wudao thirdyer with the strength of 4000 Jin, and with the activation of the Azure Dragon Mark, he could gain an extra strength of 1000 Jin, thus, in total he had the strength of 5000 Jin. Although, he didn¡¯t have the strength of 8000 Jin like Wu Qing, but just a moment ago, he hadprehended the Mysterious mood and it was going to help him a lot in the fight. Moreover, in his previous life, Long Yu had innumerable experiences of life and death situations, and he was expert in psychological handling of his opponents, and considering all this, Wu Qing was like a newborn baby in front of a veteran. ¡°Waste, you are courting death!¡± Wu Qing¡¯s small eyes were full of anger: ¡°Today I must teach you a lesson and make you know that no acts unruly inside the Zhentian Sect!¡± As his voice fell, Wu Qing didn¡¯t wait any longer. He condensed the Xuan qi in his body and swiftly stepped forward. The formidable Xuan qi began to surge inside his body and condensed on his two fists! Only after reaching the Wudao fourthyer, a martial artist could condense the Xuan qi in his body, and it not only increased their attacking capability but also their defense capability. Wudao fourthyer was considered the first major step in the growth of a martial artist¡¯s cultivation. There was a disdainful smile on the face of Wu Qing. He had condensed his fists with the Xuan qi and quickly moved his steps forward, and like a gust of wind rushing over, in no time, he came before Long Yu! ¡°Speed is quite fast!¡± Long Yu¡¯s heart jumped, and a strong fighting instinct let him get back quickly, then he lowered his head and managed to dodge Wu Qing¡¯s fist. ¡°Waste, just now you were ying cool, what happened, why are you escaping now?¡± Wu Qing said these words in an ironic tone: ¡°This is a martial arts technique of our Zhentian Sect, flickering wind step. When I fully disy its might, I¡¯ll see how you escape then!¡± As he finished these words, Wu Qing moved forward with a great speed, and in the very next moment, his thin and small figure arrived in front of Long Yu once again. He condensed the inner strength of the technique in his fist and punched towards Long Yu. Considering the current cultivation of Long Yu, if this fist would hit him, he would probably die or would definitely be crippled! However, at this moment, Wu Qing suddenly felt the powerful force of the mysterious mooding from the side of Long Yu, making his whole body¡¯s Xuan qi cirction to stagnate. Wu Qing was instantly shocked at the moment. What was this strange forceing from this waste and how could he have such a powerful aura? ¡°Flickering wind step¡¯s speed is indeed really fast, but in the face of absolute strength, what¡¯s the use of fast speed?¡± Long Yu¡¯s calm voice resounded and he immediately rushed forward towards the Wu Qing¡¯s thin and small body, currently enveloped in a formidable mysterious mood. A while ago, Long Yu hadprehended the profound mysterious mood of the Zhentian canyon, and just now, he disyed it in a fight, but he didn¡¯t expect that it would actually produce such wonders and would actually suppress Wu Qing, a martial cultivator at Wudao fourthyer. Long Yu activated the Azure Dragon mark, and condensed the strength of 5000 Jin in his whole body, then punched and kicked towards Wu Qing respectively, in a pre-nned and skillful manner. Although Wu Qing was shrouded in the force of mysterious mood so his movement had somewhat slowed down but he still had the strength of 8000 Jin granted by the Wudao fourthyer. Facing Long Yu¡¯s attack, Wu Qing reacted quickly and condensed the Xuan qi in his fist and punched towards Long Yu¡¯s fist and repelled it instantly, and at the same time, a loud sound of fist bone shattering resounded. Although when it came to punching strength, Long Yu lost to Wu Qing and his fist bone shattered, but this was nothing for a killer like Long Yu because his killer move was yet toe! From the pre-nnedbo of punch and kick, the very next instant, the kick arrived andnded on the waist of Wu Qing¡¯s waist and the tyrannical strength present in that kick actually kicked Wu Qing directly more than a dozen meters away and he heavily fell down after rolling twice on the ground, and his whole body gotpletely soiled. This kick was the doom of Wu Qing and once he fell down on the ground, he didn¡¯t get up and continued to wail in pain. ¡°Wu Qing!¡± Han Jian originally nned to watch from the sidelines and enjoy the show but he was shocked. He couldn¡¯t understand that how could Long Yu be so strong that Wu Qing lost in just one kick. ¡°What a waste.¡± Tan Yue d in a beautiful red skirt looked gloomy and scolded Wu Qing. Looking at the arrogant demeanor of Wu Qing, she thought that she would enjoy the show while he would teach this insolent ck-clothed boy a lesson, but she didn¡¯t expect this sudden turn of events, which was a big disgrace for her! ¡°Now, do you think I am qualified enough to join the Zhentian Sect?¡± Long Yu endured the pain of his broken fist bone and calmly looked at Tan Yue and Han Jian. ¡°Don¡¯t think too highly of yourself! Han Jian, go and punish him, make him regret that he offended this Xiaojie!¡± Tan Yue snorted and immediately instigated Han Jian. Chapter 10 – Unfair treatment Chapter-10 Unfair treatment Hearing the words of Tan Yue, a fierce smile appeared on the face of Han Jian with a killing intent apparent in his eyes. Wu Qing was eager to show off and ended up in a miserable state, but now that Han Jian was going into action, one could expect the excellent disy of martial arts. ¡°Tan Yue junior sister apprentice, you don¡¯t need to worry, no matter who it is, as long as someone dares to offend junior sister apprentice, he is bound to obtain a bloody lesson from me!¡± Han Jian looked at Long Yu with a disdainful expression on his face then took a step forward. He could see, although Long Yu had won against Wu Qing, but in doing so, he also got his fist bone shattered, so he definitely would not be able to fight with him, a master at Wudao fifthyer. Once he would win this fight, at that time, he would be able to be more intimate with Tan Yue, and maybe he even¡­¡­ However, just when Han Jian was cherishing his fond desires, suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the clouds and was clearly heard by all ears present on the scene. ¡°Why don¡¯t you halt your hands right this instant? Above the Zhentian Sect canyon, how can you dare to act so presumptuously! Those who are 18 years old or younger and sessfully climb the Zhentian canyon will be the disciples of the Zhentian Sect, this is the rule and no one can disobey it!¡± This hoarse voice was gentle but contained a stern tone. Han Jian instantly pulled his hands back, hisplexion suddenly changed and his whole body was covered in cold sweat. It was an elder of the Zhentian Sect! Han Jian had been a disciple of Zhentian Sect for a long time and had naturally heard rumors that above the Zhentian Sect canyon, two elders perennially guard the Zhentian Sect¡¯s entrance, but rumors were just rumors, and no one had actually seen them. He just wanted to please Tan Yue, although it involved vition of the rules of the Zhentian Sect, but when the guard elders interfered and ordered him to stop, he was suddenly shocked and scared. ¡°Respected elder, disciple Han Jian admits his mistake, please punish me!¡± Han Jian immediately knelt down and bowed his head respectfully while admitting his mistake. Punishment for the vition of rules of the Zhentian sect was very severe, so Han Jian was trying to act humble, expecting that the elders might mitigate his punishment and this matter would end right there without reaching the higher authorities. What was the use of ttering Tan Yue if he got expelled from the Sect? After all, she was just a junior sister disciple, and her existence was nothingpared to that of the Sect elders. ¡°Your punishment is considered as finished already. You lead these two new disciples inside the Zhentian Sect and make arrangements for them.¡± The hoarse voice continued toe, but the sky was clear and they couldn¡¯t see anyone and no one could make out what just happened. But these words made Han Jian to slightly gawk. He responded immediately and happily knocked his head twice on the ground: ¡°Thank you elders, disciple Han Jian will happily take care of this matter!¡± Han Jian was very much scared and the situation of Tan Yue standing nearby was not much better either. Although, she was arrogant and brutal, haughty and despotic, but she still wouldn¡¯t dare to oppose the elders of Zhentian Sect. At that time, as usual, Long Yu was rxed and was moving his sight on both sides of the canyon while looking towards the sky. There was a vague smile on his face! ¡°These elders, they must have known that I was in trouble, but they were silent until now and were apparently trying to see my strength or rather, my level ofprehension of the Zhentian canyon mysterious mood¡­¡­¡­¡± ¡°Just now, they did not punish Han Jian and Tan Yue, because they must have thought that it will cause more problems for me once I enter the Sect. This is their own way of urging me to practice so that I get prepared for any future troubles, quite a good n they have made in such a short time!¡± Although Long Yu hadpletely seen through the intentions of the elders, but anyways, by interfering, they solved a bigger trouble for him, after all, he knew that he was not a match of Han Jian. Certainly, Long Yu believed that he would have to improve his strength quickly to be able to face Han Jian in the near future. ¡°Sister Tan Yue,e with me, I will arrange a residence for you.¡± Han Jian respectfully smiled at Tan Yue, then gave a sideway nce to Long Yu and turned around to walk. After the appearance of the elders, Tan Yue¡¯s haughty demeanor subsided and she did not dare to stay and hastily followed Han Jian, but her eyes viciously swept towards Long Yu. It was obvious that so long as she had the opportunity, she would never let off Long Yu so easily. Long Yu lightly looked at Tan Yue. He could clearly feel the killing intent present in her eyes though it was not visible on her in face at the moment. He thought that he would have to quickly absorb the immortality pill, Yuyao Dan, given to him by Feng Longsong while he was leaving Yu Guan City, as it could help him in stepping into the Wudao fourthyer. Only after reaching the Wudao fourthyer, it was possible for a martial artist to condense the Xuan qi inside his body, and then, it would not only increase his attacking capabilities but also his defense capabilities. Though, inside the Zhentian Sect, this would guarantee only a little bit of safety to him. Han Jian led the way with the other two following him and walked on the mountain road along the canyon and soon came to the ce where disciples of Zhentian Sect lived. ¡°Sister Tan Yue, this is your residence, Brother Tan Jian has already arranged this for you.¡± Han Jian led her inside an elegant looking courtyard with a pleasing environment and a beautiful garden. ¡°Ah, this is good.¡± Tan Yue nced towards the courtyard and saw the garden rockeries, pavilion and other things and looked very satisfied. ¡°Sister Tan Yue, you wait a moment, I¡¯ll arrange things for him first.¡± Han Jian pointed towards Long Yu and said. ¡°Go.¡± Tan Yue turned her head and contemptuously looked at Long Yu then stepped into her elegant courtyard. ¡°Hurry up ande quickly!¡± Han Jian turned around to leave and did not forget to scold Long Yu while he had the chance to, but the elder¡¯s voice still reverberated in his mind so he did not dare to use the term ¡°waste¡± while referring him. Long Yu didn¡¯t say anything and continued to follow him all the way to the residential area of the outer disciples and found out that the environment of these courtyards were not good and his residence in the Feng n was far better than this. This was the reality of the Sect where outer disciples were the lowest of the bunch! However Long Yu discovered quickly that Han Jian was unexpectedly taking him towards an extremely remote corner, and in a while, they arrived at a somewhat tattered courtyard. ¡°You will live here! Someone will deliver your outer disciple¡¯s clothing and identity token.¡± Han Jian said in a cold voice and immediately turned around to leave. It was obvious that he could not bear the environment around this courtyard. Long Yu looked around and randomly walked a few steps, and finally discovered that not far behind the dpidated courtyard, there was a huge pit, and it was exuding a pungent stench! ¡°This treatment is so unfair!¡± A cold look shed in his eyes as he never thought that the ce where he was going to live would turn out to be such an unlivable environment. It was clear that Han Jian had settled his personal scores with him and hastily returned back to please Tan Yue. ¡°I am not going to settle this score with you for the time being but I am still going to write it down.¡± Long Yu thought to himself and walked into the courtyard. Right now, his top priority was not to bother with Han Jian, but to absorb the Yuyao Dan and break through from his current state, otherwise hising to the Zhentian Sect would go in vain if he continued to get insulted like earlier. After having a breakthrough, he would be prepared to finally settle his score with Han Jian! ¡°Yuyao Dan, foster father said that this immortality pill is far more precious than the Ling Xuan Dan.¡± In his courtyard room, Long Yu first cleaned it then sat cross-legged on a haystack and took out the immortality pill that Feng Longsong had prepared for him. It was a crystal clear immortality pill and was exuding a mouth-watering herbal fragrance, truly priceless. Last time, he had consumed a Ling Xuan Dan, a low-grade immortality pill, and the results it granted wereparable to half-year rigorous cultivation of an average person, but in Long Yu¡¯s case, with the help of the Azure Dragon mark, he had sessfully broken through to the Wudao secondyer and by gradual absorption of the surplus Lingqi stored in his Dantian, he was able to step into the Wudao thirdyer. But,pared to the Ling Xuan Dan, Yuyao Dan granted the results equivalent to the one year rigorous cultivation of an average person, so for Long Yu, the absorption effects would naturally be stronger and more rewarding! ¡°I hope that now I can have a breakthrough and reach the Wudao fourthyer!¡± Long Yu calmed his mind and directly swallowed down the fragrant Yuyao Dan. Chapter 11 – Nine Hidden Dragons mark Chapter-11 Nine Hidden Dragons mark Yuyao Dan sank into his stomach, and immediately, the Lingqi disseminated into the limbs of Long Yu. ¡°Absorb!¡± Long Yu¡¯s heart started beating vigorously, and gradually, the Lingqi contained in the Yuyao Dan began to transform into his inner Xuan qi and also began to circte through the meridians in his body. Wudao thirdyer granted him the strength of 4000 Jin, however right now, under the effects of consuming the Yuyao Dan, his strength began to grow slowly. 4100 Jin, 4200 Jin ¡­¡­ The Azure Dragon mark present on the chest of Long Yu began to give off heat and started to absorb the drug that his own body couldn¡¯t absorb as he only had the absorption capacity of 30%. When Long Yu saw that the excess Lingqi was getting stored in the Azure Dragon mark, his heart calmed down, and he sped up the absorption speed of the Yuyao Dan. In a while, 30% of the Lingqi released by the Yuyao Dan was transformed into his inner Xuan qi and began to surge up through the meridians in his body. The Xuan qi running through the meridians within him began to expand rapidly, but because he had not yet broken through so his strength was unable to exceed 5000 Jin, and only after breaking through to the Wudao fourthyer, his strength would instantly increase and reach up to 8000 Jin. He opened his eyes and discovered that it was already dark outside. He stopped practicing, because anyway the unabsorbed remaining portion of the drug had been stored in the Azure Dragon mark, so he might as well go outside and check whether his things had arrived or not. Feng Longsong had told him that in the Zhentian Sect, if a disciple wanted to enter the Martial Court to select a martial arts technique, the identity token was a must and acted as the identity proof for that disciple. As far as the outer disciples clothing was concerned, Long Yu was not at all bothered about it, but the disciple¡¯s identity token was something very important for him. When he opened the door, he saw that something was lying on the ground, in front of the courtyard. Apparently, someone sent over his things while he was practicing. With a closer look, he noticed that it turned out to be a blue robe, presumably a uniform for the outer disciples, but this blue robe was arbitrarily thrown on the ground, full of mud and footprints, apparently someone must have trampled it several times. Next to that filthy blue robe, there was a te with leftover food, and was supposedly meant to be his dinner for tonight. ¡°Where¡¯s the identity token?¡± Long Yu thought, then opened the dirty rotten blue robe, and flipped it over and over, but failed to find the so-called identity token for Zhentian Sect¡¯s outer disciples. They sent only the leftover food and a filthy uniform but didn¡¯t send the most important thing, his identity token, and it was obvious that this was done just to make things difficult for him! ¡°Well, on this ount, I have added a few strokes for this as well.¡± A cold look shed in his eyes then he suddenly turned his sight outside the courtyard. Not far away from his courtyard, there was a forest, and anyway he was not going to eat the leftover dinner, so he decided to first catch his dinner in the forest, and after having dinner, he would start practicing again and gradually enter into the Wudao fourthyer. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ As night fell, Long Yu was enjoying a roasted rabbit captured from the patch of woods, and after eating his full, he continued to start practicing. The essence of the Yuyao pill, stored in the Azure Dragon Mark, came into y, and began to transform into Xuan qi. The transformed Xuan qi started getting absorbed by Long Yu and his strength continued to rise simultaneously. ¡°The effects of Azure Dragon Mark truly go against the heavens.¡± Long Yu thought to himself, and in the midnight, the Xuan qi began to overflow in his meridians, and he sensed that his inner strength had reached the limit of Wudao thirdyer, 5000 Jin, and the very next step was going to be the breakthrough into the realm of Wudao fourthyer! In the Tianyu continent, anyone who wanted to step into the Wudao fourthyer was bound to face a bottleneck and it was necessary for them to condense the Xuan qi and turn it into their interior strength. For example, the young master of Feng n, Feng Luo, was at the thirdyer and just because he couldn¡¯t condense the Xuan qi into his own inner strength, he had been unable to break through to the Wudao fourthyer. But this wasn¡¯t going to be a problem for Long Yu. ¡°Breakthrough!¡± Long Yu¡¯s forehead became red with rage, the Xuan qi started to surge violently and rapidly absorbed and prated deep into every part of his body. It seemed like a rebirth in general, and his strength abruptly jumped up by 3000 Jin! 8000 Jin! Wudao fourthyer! Relying solely on his own talent and perception, Long Yu finally reached the Wudao fourthyer. He was truly a genius like Feng Yao who was currently at the Wudao seventhyer and was only 16 years old. If his meridians were not blocked since his childhood then he would naturally have shown a simr growth like her. This bottleneck of Wudao fourth was simply nonexistent in front of Long Yu¡¯s talent. Long Yu opened his eyes, stood up, and was very excited in his heart because he finally reached the Wudao fourthyer and attained the strength of 8000 Jin. This was a feeling of getting stronger! In this world, strength was the ultimate justice, and right now, Long Yu took the first major step on his path to be the strongest, and he only needed to go step by step forward. ¡°Tomorrow morning, I will go ask for my identity token.¡± Long Yu thought in mind, but at this moment, he suddenly felt a burst of hot feeling on his chest, and it seemed that there was a change taking ce in the Azure Dragon mark. ¡°Well, earlier when I broke through to the Wudao secondyer and thirdyer, it seemed that the Azure Dragon mark had slightly changed both times, but I couldn¡¯t notice these changes clearly back then, but now that I have broken through to the Wudao fourthyer, it feels even more strongly¡­¡­¡± Thinking of this, he quickly tore the cloth from his upper body and what he saw left him stunned. ¡°This is?¡± On his chest, he saw that on the ce where the Azure Dragon mark originally was, the figure of the coiling dragon had changed greatly! Previously, this Azure Dragon mark was still somewhat vague and fuzzy, and didn¡¯t fit his body, but now, the Azure dragon had be iparably clear, and it seemed like he was born with this mark. Moreover, the color of the dragon had also changed and the previous azure color of its body had actually be very deep. One could see a faint trace of ck lines on the mark that looked truly mysterious and profound. Just now, Long Yu felt dryness and heat that was being transmitting from those ck lines, making him feel astonished and shocked. ¡°Nine, Nine hidden dragons¡­¡­¡± Suddenly, an inexplicable term shed in his mind, and he finally realized, that the mark on his chest was not Azure Dragon mark, but ¡®Nine hidden dragons mark¡¯! Then, perhaps, Azure dragon mark should not be called the Azure Dragon mark, but it should be called ¡®Nine hidden dragons mark¡¯. ¡°Activate!¡± Long Yu did not wait to think and quickly activated the ¡®Nine hidden dragons mark¡¯ and found out that the faint ck lines suddenly began to emit ck rays of light! At the same time, an extremely terrifying strength rushed into his body from those ck lines. ¡°It actually has a force of 10,000 Jin?¡± Long Yu was instantly shocked. After he activated the ¡®Nine hidden dragons mark¡¯, the ck rays of light emitted from those ck lines instantly granted him the strength of 10,000 Jin, which was more than the strength of 8000 Jin, granted by his current cultivation level of Wudao fourthyer! In other words, now, after the activation of the ¡®Nine hidden dragons mark¡¯, his overall strength would be a total of 18000 Jin, which was stronger than the strength of 16000 Jin, granted by the Wudao fifthyer! In the Tianyu continent, the strength of 1000 Jin was called ¡°the strength of a fierce horse,¡± because in the Tianyu continent, even the most ordinary fierce horse possessed the strength of at least 1000 Jin. So now, after activating the mark, it could be said that Long Yu possessed the strength of 18 fierce horses, which was clearly veryrgepared to the strengths of other warriors at Wudao fourthyer. In the Tianyu continent, for all the nineyers of the Wudao, with eachyer rise in the cultivation of a warrior, the strength would directly double, so it was very difficult for the warriors at a loweryer to challenge someone at a higheryer. However at this point, to the current Long Yu, this didn¡¯t seem like a major problem. Only after a burning time of half stick of an incense, Long Yu felt that his limbs began to be sore, although after activating the ¡®Nine hidden dragons mark¡¯, he got a formidable surplus strength of 10,000 Jin, but its side effects were not small. ¡°So, the final analysis is that my body is not strong enough and it will be difficult for me at the Wudao fourthyer to amodate the strength of 18,000 Jin which is far more than the strength granted by the Wudao fifthyer. I guess long time activation can even cause damage to the body¡­¡­¡± Long Yu immediately deactivated the ¡®Nine hidden dragons mark¡¯ and sat down on the grass bed to rest. Right now, his limbs were sore as the side effect of activating the ¡®Nine hidden dragons mark¡¯, but he should be able to recover after a night¡¯s rest. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Next morning, Long Yu went out to gather information. With his rich experience at information gathering, in a while, he learnt about the situation from several outer disciples. The issuance of clothing and identity token for the outer disciples was managed by the director of outer disciples and this director was chosen from among them and also was reced every month. This month¡¯s director outer disciple was named Feng Yang! ¡°Feng Yang is actually a member of Yu Guan City¡¯s Feng n. So it seems like he is the one who didn¡¯t send my identity token.¡± A sharp piercing gaze appeared in the eyes of Long Yu when he arrived in front of residence arranged for Tan Yue. This residence had graceful pavilions, garden rockery, and all its aspects, regardless of where one looked, were far superiorpared with the residence arranged for him. At that time, the sound of footsteps transmitted from the front. Long Yu looked up and saw Tan Yue, d in beautiful red skirt, proud bulging chest, walking elegantly like a princess toward her own residence. And the square faced upright Han Jian was walking right behind her. Han Jian nced at Long Yu and loudly said to Tan Yue: ¡°Sister Tan Yue, our luck seems to be very good today. Just came back from the Martial Court and encountered an ¡®old friend¡¯!¡± Long Yu¡¯s identity token was not provided, but Tan Yue naturally got hers, and it seemed that just now, Han Jian led Tan Yue to the Zhentian Sect¡¯s Martial Court and she seemed to have learned a martial art technique as well! Tan Yue suddenly stopped then contemptuously looked at Long Yu and said: ¡°I have inquired, this waste is called Long Yu, resides temporarily in Yu Guan City¡¯s Feng n, and since childhood, he has been unable to practice. I never thought that Zhentian Sect would actually ept such a waste as a disciple. ¡° The loud conversation of Han Jian and Tan Yue suddenly attracted the attention of a lot of outer disciples present in the surroundings. Originally, Tan Yue, because of her beautiful appearance and proud temperament, just after arriving yesterday, had attracted the attention of a lot of people, and now, when they saw that she was aiming at an ordinary looking new disciple, they all stopped their matters at hand, and gathered around to watch the show, meanwhile also pointing towards Long Yu and talking among themselves. ¡°Who is this guy, Yu Guan city¡¯s waste, how did he enter the Zhentian Sect?¡± ¡°Who doesn¡¯t know about this guy, he has dared to offend junior sister apprentice Tan Yue, this waste will not have a good end so just wait and enjoy the show.¡± ¡°Want to guess how Sister Tan Yue would punish him?¡± ¡°How else do you think? Certainly, by destroying his Dantian, so that he really bes a waste!¡± A series of loudughter spread all around, while everyone was watching Long Yu like watching a joke! No one knew that at present, Long Yu was also looking at Tan Yue and Han Jian like they were a joke to him! Once he stepped into the Wudao fourthyer, his Azure Dragon mark transformed into ¡®Nine hidden dragons mark¡¯, which tremendously enhanced his strength. Forget about Tan Yue, who was not even worth mentioning in front of current Long Yu, even Han Jian, the warrior at Wudao fifthyer was not a match for him! Chapter 12 – Tan Yue trampled Chapter-12 Tan Yue trampled Seeing that several outer disciples came to surround them to see what was going on, a proud look appeared on the face of Tan Yue and she gave a satisfied smile. She looked disdainfully at Long Yu and arrogantly said: ¡°Waste, you should have known that offending thisdy would lead you to a very bad end. Now, do you regret it?¡± With aposed look on his face, Long Yu was standing firmly and aimed his sight at Tan Yue and said: ¡°What do I need to regret? If I am a waste then why don¡¯t you personallye and fight me and see how this waste takes you down.¡± As he said these words, the crowd went in uproar, and a vicious look appeared on Tan Yue¡¯s pretty face. ¡°What did you say?¡± As she was caught off-guard by the sudden provocation of Long Yu, a dumbfounded look instantly appeared on her face, but then she stepped towards him and seemed to have taken his bait. Han Jian was standing behind her, but he didn¡¯te into action, because it was apparent that considering the strength of Tan Yue, defeating Long Yu would not be a problem. He was watching this scene, and suddenly, with a teasing look on his face, he loudly said to Tan Yue: ¡°Sister Tan Yue, just now, Brother Tan Jian has sent you a battle weapon right, why don¡¯t you test its might and see whether it¡¯s to your liking or not?¡± Tan Yue frowned and replied in a loud voice: ¡°Who needs a battle weapon to deal with a waste!¡± The people surrounding them eximed in surprise when they heard this. Battle weapon, she actually had a battle weapon! For martial cultivators, if cultivation was the foundation of their inner states, then martial arts techniques and battle weapons were the important factors that helped in enhancing their battle efficiency and were considered two indispensable attributes. As long as someone stepped into the world of Wudao and condensed Xuan qi inside his body then he would be able to cultivate and practice martial arts techniques as well. But, more sophisticated martial arts techniques required the use of battle weapons because it helped in disying the true might of the techniques through the use of battle weapons. Battle weapons were forged by the forging division, and its major benefit was that it allowed the Xuan qi present in the body of a martial artist to disy a stronger strength than their original strength granted by their cultivation level. Battle weapons could be weapons, armors, and could also be some special fighting equipments and simrly, the higher the grade of these battle weapons was, the more it could enhance the strength. In the Zhentian Sect, only after getting promoted and bing an inner disciple, one would be able to obtain a battle weapon as the reward, in addition to that, very few people possessed battle weapons, so no one expected that an outer disciple like Tan Yue would actually have one. However, even at the mention of battle weapons, Long Yu still had a calm and dignified appearance and didn¡¯t look the slightest bothered, of course, he already knew about battle weapons. Earlier, Feng Yao came back home from the Hanbing Sect to take Feng Longsong¡¯s saber, which was actually a battle weapon. In the entire Feng n, less than ten people possessed battle weapons and it obviously showed their scarcity. ¡°But, after all, a battle weapon is still a foreign object controlled by a martial artist, and in the end, the disy of strength depends on the martial artist¡¯s own strength and skill. The bottom line is that this Tan Yue cannot beat me even if she has a battle weapon.¡± Long Yu thought to himself then looked at Tan Yue who was calmly stepping towards him. Long Yu¡¯s observant eyes noticed that Tan Yue¡¯s footsteps were profound and contained some sort ofw, and it was evident that she was secretly using some kind of footwork martial skill. Like Long Yu, Tan Yue had also joined Zhentian Sect one day ago, so it was impossible for her toprehend a Zhentian Sect¡¯s martial skill, then this footwork martial skill definitely belonged to Yu Guan City¡¯s Tan n. ¡°From what I heard from the members of the Feng n, Tan n has inherited three major martial skills, one of which is a footwork martial skill, Mizong Step, and when used by a member of Tan n, their speed bes extremely fast!¡± Long Yu waspletely wary, although both of them were at the Wudao fourthyer, but she had actually practiced a martial skill of Tan n, so herbat strength couldn¡¯t be underestimated! ¡°Hmph.¡± Seeing the careful look on Long Yu¡¯s face, Tan Yue chuckled loudly with a look of disdain in her eyes. Her footsteps were light, and while using the Mizong Step, her slender red figure arrived in front of Long Yu in a sh. ¡°Suikong palm!¡± (Mystique- Sky breaking palm) Tan Yue shouted loudly then shot her swift and fierce palm towards the shoulder of Long Yu! The might of Suikong palm, one of three major inherited martial skills of the Tan n, was simply peerless. When she shot her palm, it actually contained the strength of 10,000 Jin, which was far more than the strength of 8000 Jin granted by the Wudao fourthyer. It was obvious that the surplus rise in her strength was the effect of using a martial skill! While facing the extremely quick palm of Tan Yue, Long Yu, although was well prepared, but he did not expect her speed to be so fast! Fortunately, hisbat experience was very rich and he immediately responded. ¡°Xuan qi interior strength, condense!¡± Inside his body, the Xuan qi quickly condensed in his shoulder area, and then, he prepared himself to take on Tan Yue¡¯s palming right at him. Meanwhile, he quietly released the Zhentian canyon mysterious mood, and just when her palm was about toe in contact with his shoulder, Long Yu took advantage of this opportunity and immediately enveloped her in the mysterious mood. Bang! Long Yu¡¯s shoulder was hit by her palm, but since he was well prepared for this attack and had already condensed the Xuan qi and turned it into his inner defensive strength, he only got minor injuries, unlike before when his fist bone was shattered by Wu Qing. When her strike did not work, she immediately decided to withdraw, and using the martial skill, Mizong Step, she lightly and swiftly retreated, as she certainly would not be reckless in front of Long Yu. But, when she again tried to cast out the Mizong Step, she discovered that her body was enveloped in some kind of force, a pressure descending from the heaven, just like she had felt in the Zhentian canyon and it made her speed to slightly decrease. This was the rare opportunity Long Yu was aiming for! He shouted and suddenly threw out a punch towards her which went scratching her cheek, containing the strength of 8000 Jin and this punch was so fast that it carried a burst of wind along with it and drew a rough trail of blood on her delicate cheek. Deng deng deng! (Mystique- sound of footsteps when she retreated) Tan Yue¡¯s figure anxiously drew back, then stopped, stood still, then raised her head and looked viciously at Long Yu: ¡°You actually dared to hurt me!¡± ¡°You are the one who attacked first with your ruthless palm skill. Are you implying that I shouldn¡¯t defend myself?¡± Long Yu indifferently said: ¡°Moreover, you said that I am a waste, but just now, you are one who withdrew instead. Why don¡¯t you admit that you are worse than a waste?¡± As these words came out of Long Yu¡¯s mouth, everyone present on the scene could not help but suddenly held their breaths. Just now, the battle between Long Yu and Tan Yue was as quick as the lightning, and the outer disciples couldn¡¯t respond in time, in fact, they couldn¡¯t even track the movements of these two, and only saw the trace of blood on Tan Yue¡¯s face when she retreated. It was obvious to everyone that in this round of the battle, Tan Yue actually suffered a loss! After calling Long Yu a waste and openly insulting him in front of the crowd, Tan Yue¡¯s had been forced into a very embarrassing position! A cold look appeared on her face and one could sense that her killing intent was spreading a chill in the air while she was coldly staring at Long Yu, who looked calm andposed at the moment: ¡°This time, your luck was good, but thisdy will not give you another chance.¡± As her voice fell, a seven-inches-long dagger appeared in her hand. The silver dagger was shing brightly in her hand reflecting her cold sinister facial expression. She finally took out her battle weapon! ¡°I think you said that you don¡¯t need a battle weapon to deal with a waste.¡± Long Yu taunted her. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you are scared now?¡± Tan Yue snorted and while sping seven-inch-long silver dagger in her hand, she proudly said: ¡°If you have a battle weapon then you are free to use it, but you are just a waste, so how can you possibly have a battle weapon. You can just dream of having one!¡± She had to rely on her elder brother, Tan Jian, to obtain a battle weapon and she was very proud of this! ¡°Today, you have dared to hurt me, so I will break your Dantian into pieces andpletely destroy it, so that you know the fate of those who disrespect thisdy!¡± Tan Yue¡¯s footsteps continued to fluctuate and her red figure swiftly moved around Long Yu. Her speed was so fast that it seemed like her shadow-like figure was flickering at moments, and sometimes, it wouldpletely disappear. ¡°Not practicing a martial skill is truly disadvantageous¡­¡­¡± Long Yu was thinking, and simultaneously, his sharp eagle-like eyes were fully focused on tracking the movements of Tan Yue, closely observing and anticipating her next move, ready to react at any time. ¡°Die!¡± Silver light shed, and a dagger came in his sight that had already arrived in front of him and was only at a hand¡¯s distance away! ¡°Mysterious mood suppression!¡± Long Yu immediately released the mysterious mood, which instantly stagnated the speed of the dagger then he threw a sideways punch that severely bombed at the back edge of the dagger. Only due to his extremely richbat experience, in an instant, he was able to make such a perfect hit with his punch! With the strength of 8000 Jin present in his punch, it immediately deflected the dagger to the other direction, but this dagger was a battle weapon and the Ru qi present in it injured his fist once again and scraped off ayer of the skin. Long Yu did not care, and taking advantage of Tan Yue¡¯s deflected dagger by his punch that had also caused her to lose her bnce, he quickly shot his punch. Bang! After receiving a punch, Tan Yue heavily fell on the ground, and Long Yu heavily stepped on her wrist holding the silver dagger. ¡°A waste defeated you.¡± After stepping on her wrist, a killing intent shed in his eyes, but he quickly restrained it, because now was not the time to kill Tan Yue! When Long Yu stepped on her wrist, she suddenly got furious, and it seemed like her eyes were spraying fire at him, with anger and hatred apparent in them. However, when this scene uncovered in front of the eyes of the crowd of outer disciples, it made them to open their mouths in bewilderment, they were totally stunned and just couldn¡¯t believe their eyes! Tan Yue, even with her battle weapon and using the formidable martial skills of the Tan n, was actually defeated by the person whom she had called a ¡°waste¡±! Chapter 13 – Defeats Han Jian Chapter-13 Defeats Han Jian Everyone was stunned when Long Yu stepped on the wrist of Tan Yue. Nearby standing Han Jian¡¯splexion also changed immediately. ¡°Waste, let her go right this instant!¡± Han Jian shouted loudly, and his figure swiftly dashed forward towards Long Yu, and with a long gallop, in no time, he reached near Long Yu. Han Jian had still not digested the fact that Tan Yue was defeated by Long Yu, but he knew that it could be an exceedingly good opportunity for him. By defeating Long Yu, he would be able to win Tan Yue¡¯s heart and would also get an oppurtuinty to be good friends with a talented inner disciple like Tan Jian. At that time, the personal appearance of Han Jian looked like a double-edged sword! ¡°If you want me to release her then why don¡¯t you make me do that?¡± Long Yu saw Han Jian speeding away towards him. A sh of coldness appeared in his eyes. Both of his hands were behind his back, and his one foot was on the wrist of Tan Yue. Han Jian wanted him to release her but he didn¡¯t and continued to keep his foot on her wrist¡­¡­ If Long Yu didn¡¯t beat Han Jian, and released her as well, then he might have to fight theirbo and he didn¡¯t want such type of situation to arise. ¡°Get lost.¡± Long Yu suddenly lifted his foot, and gave a severe kick on the side of Tan Yue, and prepared himself to face the approaching Han Jian. Tan Yue, d in red dress, rolled on the ground several times, and immediately, her body was covered with mud, and some of it also went into her mouth and she identally swallowed a lot of dust. At this time, her beautiful long hair was scattered on her shoulder and face. She seemed iparably embarrassed and distressed, and from the gaps of the locks of hair on her face, one could see her malevolent eyes peeking at Long Yu. ¡°Brother Han Jian, kill him!¡± Tan Yue had never received such an insult in her whole life. When Long Yu had stepped on her wrist, right then, she decided in her heart to kill him. Today this waste must die at any cost! Although the rules of the Zhentian Sect did not allow anyone to kill, but if someone idently died during a fight, then the Sect would not be too harsh with them and wouldn¡¯t me them too much. Tan Yue believed that she had a strong backing of her brother, Tan Jian, and even if they killed Long Yu now, with her brother¡¯s support, this matter would be suppressed easily. When Han Jian heard her voice, a cold feeling suddenly emerged in his heart. He immediately sped towards Long Yu with a long double-edged sword in his hand. The sword in his hand was not a battle weapon, but was some kind ofmon weapon used in martial arts, so it didn¡¯t give the increased battle strength to Han Jian, like the dagger did for Tan Yue. But he had entered into the Zhentian Sect a long time ago, and since then, he had been practicing the sword martial skills of the Zhentian Sect, moreover, he was also at the Wudao fifthyer, and his strength was certainly stronger than Tan Yue¡¯s. After kicking Tan Yue to one side, Long Yu focused his full attention to deal with Han Jian. At that time, when Han Jian raided on him with a long double-edged sword in his hand, in a blink of an eye, Long Yu once again unleashed the mysterious mood, whichpletely shrouded the body of Han Jian. ¡°What force is this?¡± Han Jian initially thought that he would finish Long Yu with a single blow of his long double-edged sword, but it was all in vain. Enveloped in Long Yu¡¯s mysterious mood, he instantaneously felt a heavy pressure dropping on him from the heaven. It affected his speed greatly and hisplexion slightly changed. Each time Long Yu unleashed the mysterious mood against his opponent, it only affected that person and no one else, so until now, Han Jian had no idea that Long Yu had such a trick up his sleeves. Han Jian was really not prepared for this heavy pressure generated by the mysterious mood and as a result of it, his vanguard speed suddenly slowed down. ¡®¡¯It doesn¡¯t matter if you have this strange strength, my sword will surely snatch your life!¡± Han Jian¡¯s sword went against the mysterious mood¡¯s heavy pressure, and with a ferocious look in his eyes, the sword danced in his hand, producing swift and fierce gusts of wind that violently raided towards Long Yu! ¡°So this is the twisting storm sword attack! A top grade sword martial skill which grants incredible might and speed to the practitioner!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Han Jian has already grasped the twisting storm sword martial skill to the Da Cheng realm. The twisting storm that came out from his sword is so formidable!¡¯¡¯ ¡®That waste boy really has a bad luck. By bullying Sister Tan Yue, he has enraged Han Jian.¡¯¡¯ All of the people were extremely surprised to see Han Jian using a high level sword martial skill and that tooprehended to the Da Cheng realm, which was a difficult feat to achieve, especially for the outer disciples. At that time when people thought that Long Yu would be easily defeated by Han Jian, Long Yu was actually calm and collected while looking at the twisting storming towards him at a great speed. Generally speaking, only a martial artist at the Wudao seventhyer could disy such type of high level of swordsmanship, but by using certain marital skills, one could achieve the same effect like Han Jian did just now when he attacked his enemy, Long Yu, by congealing a twisting storm and sending towards him at a tremendous speed. Long Yu thought that if he would go forward to face the twisting storm head-on then he might lose, so it was better to win this battle by using brute force. He made a quick decision and instantly activated the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons mark¡¯. ¡°Nine hidden Dragons mark!¡± Using just his thoughts, he instantly activated the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons marks¡¯. Other people could not see the trace of ck lines appearing under his ck clothes, and the rays of ck light released from these lines and instantly condensed the great strength of 10,000 Jin in his limbs. Along with the sudden drastic increase in his strength, his speed also improved all of a sudden. ¡®¡¯Xuan qi interior strength, defense!¡¯¡¯ Long Yu thought that he must fight a battle of brute strength to quickly end it, and after nning to take Han Jian¡¯s attack head-on using his own toughness and defensive strength, he condensed the Xuan qi in his whole body, and shot a punch towards the twisting storm that had already approached him by now. Boom! As the twisting storm dashed against Long Yu¡¯s fist, a huge collision took ce, and with a loud sound, the mighty twisting storm was scattered towards the four directions. However, the twisting storm also sted against the body of Long Yu, and tore out countless wounds on his whole body, but he did not care, and leapt forward and swiftly pounded a heavy kick towards Han Jian. Shrouded in Long Yu¡¯s mysterious mood, Han Jian¡¯s speed had already slowed down, and in a confused state, he raised his arm and hastily condensed the Xuan qi in it to block Long Yu¡¯s kick. Kacha! Long Yu¡¯s kick pounded heavily on Han Jian¡¯s arm with the strength of 18 fierce horses and broke his arm in one fell swoop! Though, while facing the strong twisting storm, Long Yu sustained several injuries, but, he unexpectedly seeded in defeating Han Jian, even faster than Tan Yue, and in just a single move, he broke his arm! Peng! Han Jian heavily fell on the ground, and with a ¡°ng¡± sound, his sword also fell on the ground. The arm bone fracture put him in severe pain, which was clearly visible in the form of blue veins revealed on his face. There was a look of disbelief mixed with pain in his eyes. He never expected that Long Yu actually possessed such a tyrannical strength. He had condensed the Xuan qi in his arms to defend against Long Yu¡¯s kick, but it was all in vain. With just one kick, Long Yu powdered the bones in his arm. Obviously, Long Yu¡¯s kick had the strength of 18000 Jin, and Han Jian was surprised to think that how this kid, who was only at the Wudao fourthyer, could have such strength? Was that a super kick type martial skill? The pain on the arm was rapidly transmitting throughout his body making him topletely lose his fighting spirit. Han Jian had never received such a heavy injury in his entire life. Although, Long Yu¡¯s body was covered in blood with more than a dozen of wounds on his body, but there was an indifferent look on his face, and it seemed that he was not even feeling the pain. After kicking Han Jian, Long Yu had retreated several steps to n another attack, but, he quickly discovered that his kick had actually broken the arm of Han Jian, and he was lying on the ground, yelling with pain. In just one kick, he hadpletely lost his fighting spirit, which clearly showed that he was a weak-willed guy. ¡°Die!¡± Right at the moment, Long Yu heard a loud shout, which was filled with killing intent and ruthlessness like that of a viper! Tan Yue! Earlier, Tan Yue was defeated by Long Yu, and in that fight, he had not received any serious injuries, but now, his body was covered in blood with numerous wounds caused by the formidable twisting storm of that Han Jian¡¯s sword attack, and considering the weakened state of Long Yu, she actually nned a sneak attack! d in a red dress and a silver dagger in her hand, Tan Yue instantly came right behind Long Yu! ¡°You are courting death.¡± A quick instinct shed in the mind of Long Yu, as the activation of the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons mark¡¯ had yet not retreated. It had increased the speed of Long Yu. Instantly, he moved his footsteps using the tyrannical strength with a speed faster than before, and evaded the silver dagger¡¯s sneak attack. Then immediately, he turned and gave a heavy kick right on Tan Yue¡¯s thigh! ¡°What!¡± Tan Yue fell down on the ground and began to scream in pain. The kick had the strength of 18000 Jin and seriously injured her by instantly breaking her thigh bone. Now, she was not even able to crawl on the ground and was screaming incessantly. ¡°Deactivate!¡± After kicking Tan Yue, he immediately deactivated the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons mark¡¯. His body meridians had started to ache due to the crazy cirction of energy, and if he had continued like this, then it would have hurt his body. Long Yu stood firmly, and after his brief battle with those two, he had be an extraordinary figure in everybody¡¯s eyes. He single-handedly trampled Tan Yue along with her battle weapon and broke her thigh bone, and defeated Han Jian, who was at Wudao fifthyer, and broke his arm. Although, he received injuries while facing the twisting storm, but it just made him even more terrible in everybody¡¯s eyes because he just stood there firmly, as if, he was not feeling the pain at all, which was simply insane! This guy was crazy. In the field, at this moment, many of the outdoor disciples of the Zhentian Sect thought that if they were in ce of Long Yu then they would never have dared to face Han Jian¡¯s twisting storm attack head-on like Long Yu did just now. Long Yu quietly felt his body, and noticed that it had a total of more than twentyrge and small wounds, mostly injured by the st of Han Jian¡¯s double-edged sword, in addition to yesterday¡¯s shattered fist bone. No one knew how much pain he was enduring right now. However, these injuries were painful, but he did not consider them as heavy injuries, because he had received worse injuries in his previous lifepared to these. ¡°Take me to Feng Yang, the governor of outer disciples.¡± Long Yu adjusted his breathing then casually selected a nearby ck-faced short disciple. ¡°Go, go, go to Feng Yang?¡± There was a scared look in the eyes of that Shorty. He was shocked andpletely puzzled but he clearly remembered the fight of Long Yu with those two and he had also seen the incredible disy of strength by Long Yu and somewhat guessed what Long Yu intended to do. Was this boy¡¯s identity token detained? It was not the first time that a thing like this had happened. ck-faced Shorty was at the Wudao fifthyer, but his strength was less than Han Jian, and when he heard Long Yu, he quickly turned around to lead the way. When Long Yu left the ce, the onlookers finally dispersed, but there was one disciple who had a shrewd look in his eyes. He hurried towards the disciple¡¯s practicing area. Tan Yue was seriously injured, and it was necessary to immediately inform Tan Jian about this matter! At the same time, many people followed Long Yu. They were just shocked by his performance and couldn¡¯t help but wanted to see, in the end, why was Long Yu looking for Feng Yang? One must know that Feng Yang was the governor of the outer disciples. Although, he was also a martial artist at the Wudao fifthyer, but he had practiced strong martial skills, and hence was stronger than Han Jian! Chapter 14 – Meets Feng Yang Chapter-14 Meets Feng Yang Long Yu certainly knew the strength of Feng Yang. From an ordinary person¡¯s point of view, he had suffered heavy injuries, and under such physical conditions, it was impossible to defeat Feng Yang, after all, he was considered stronger than Han Jian. Moreover, when Long Yu was still in the Feng n, he heard that Feng Yang was at the Wudao sixthyer at the time of joining the Zhentian Sect and became an outer disciple. But right now, Long Yu had a n in his mind, so he, with some disciples following him, set out to see Feng Yang. ¡°Junior, you are called Long Yu right?¡± That ck faced Shorty leading the way eagerly osted: ¡°Listen, Tan Yue said that you are from the Yu Guan city, and you left Feng n toe here to join the Zhentian Sect. And what a coincidence that Feng Yang, a member of Feng n, has been made the outer disciple¡¯s governor this month. Do you have some enmity with him? Because if there¡¯s no enmity between you two then why would he detain your identity token.¡¯¡¯ Long Yu heard this but did not answer anything. He didn¡¯t have a habit to disclose information to a stranger. The ck faced Shorty did not mind, just kept on smiling, and said: ¡°Junior Brother, listen to your senior¡¯s advice. Feng Yang is a strong man, and soon, he will be a high ranked disciple, but at present, you are just getting started, so do not butt heads with him, otherwise the one who will suffer a great loss will definitely be you.¡± ¡°Now, even if you find him, he won¡¯t give you the identity token, instead, he will severely humiliate you. Moreover, you just bullied Tan Yue, and her elder brother, Tan Jian, will certainly not let you off, and being one of the top three inner disciples, his influence is enormous. You are no match for Tan Jian, so listen to me and do as I say, you must hurry up and leave Zhentian Sect as soon as possible, so as to avoid getting humiliated or face something even worse!¡± He tried every means to persuade Long Yu but he didn¡¯t say anything. The ck faced Shorty noticed this and stopped nagging Long Yu. Both of them walked for sometime along the mountain road and soon arrived at a graceful courtyard with an elegant environment. One could easily see a que hung on the courtyard¡¯s entrance with four words printed on it ¡°Outer Disciples Governor¡¯s Courtyard¡¯¡¯. Many people also followed these two into the courtyard just to watch the scene that was soon going to unfold. Long Yu was not too much concerned about them, because he had an idea and he was to do something that required some people as spectators, and the more the merrier. ¡°Brother Long Yu, this is the courtyard where the outer disciple¡¯s governor lives. You can meet him and ask him to hand over your identity token, but this is none of my business.¡± The ck faced Shorty said then moved to one side, and there was a teasing look on his face with a tinct of ridicule. He was apparently waiting to see how Long Yu would be a joke in front of everyone. Long Yu nced at the ck faced Shorty, but did not say anything to him. He immediately walked towards the room where the outer disciple¡¯s governor lived. ¡°Feng Yang,e out!¡± Long Yu bellowed in an overbearing tone. The crowd behind him was in amotion and a scared look appeared on their faces. The people, gathered there, were shocked at the recklessness of Long Yu. Could it be that he was actually prepared to die? ¡°Who dares to be so insolent?¡± A more overbearing voice came from inside the courtyard. A tall and burly young man came out from the room. With just one look at his appearance, one could see that he looked quite simr to Feng Luo, the young master of the Feng n of Yu Guan City. This tall person was Feng Yang. He had a sturdy body, and huge face, and at the moment, there was an angry look on his face. He was d in a blue outer disciple¡¯s clothes and jade tablets were hanging around his waist. These tablets were supposedly the identity tokens of the outer disciples of the Zhentian Sect. When Feng Yang came out and saw Long Yu, his pupils shrank and he said in a loud voice: ¡°So it¡¯s you! Just a waste but suddenly got courageous enough to act wildly in front of the courtyard of outer disciple¡¯s governor? I think you want to be humiliated or I should just teach you some manners right here!¡± When Feng Yang entered the scene, the people standing on the rear in abundance thought that this was going to get very interesting and they might get a chance to enjoy the show, because they knew very well that Feng Yang was a hot tempered man and Long Yu had dared to call him out, which was a disgrace to him, and he would definitely not let off Long Yu so easily! Long Yu stared at the grandiose statured Feng Yang and with a disdained look on his face, he sneered and said: ¡°Feng Yang, you have seized my identity token, because deep down in your heart, you are frightened right?¡± Long Yu directly came to the point. His words immediately angered Feng Yang and he said in a loud voice: ¡°Why would I be afraid of anything?¡± ¡°Then tell me, why you have detained my identity token?¡± Long Yu went one step forward and sneered loudly. ¡°This¡­¡­¡± As Feng Yang heard this, the beads of cold sweat suddenly emerged on his forehead. Just now, he replied in a hurry that he was not afraid of anything, but he forgot to deny the fact that he had taken the identity token of Long Yu, what a blunder! One must know that the Zhentian Sect appointed Feng Yang as the governor of outer disciples, but detention of identity token was strictly banned, and if this matter was discovered by the Sect¡¯s elders, then he would be severely punished and even less practice resources would be granted to him. ¡°I know you are afraid.¡± Long Yu didn¡¯t grab this point and said with a contemptuous smile on his face: ¡°After all, once I get my identity token, I will go to the Martial Court to pick up a martial arts skill and after practicing it, you will no longer be my match! Tell me, whether it is true or not?¡¯¡¯ ¡°What utter nonsense!¡± Feng Yang responded with a fierce look in his eyes and said: ¡°Who do you think you are, even if you have somehow managed to enter into the Zhentian Sect, but you are still a waste. How can you even im to be this Feng Yang¡¯s opponent?¡¯¡¯ ¡°Then we have a deal, you give me my identity token so that I go to the Martial Court, and when I return from there, I will fight with you. Feng Yang, tell me, do you dare to ept my challenge?¡¯¡¯ Long Yu¡¯s eyes glued to Feng Yang with a look of contempt on his face. And, this despising look on Long Yu¡¯s face made Feng Yang even more furious. Long Yu, who was called a waste in the Feng n for several years, came to the Zhentian Sect and was actually being so arrogant in front of him, how audacious! Feng Yang¡¯s eyes nced swept towards therge crowd of disciples gathered outside his courtyard and thought, right now, if he didn¡¯t ept Long Yu¡¯s challenge then he would certainly lose face in front of so many disciples, because, everyone would think that he got scared of a waste. Therefore, even if Feng Yan knew that Long Yu had done all this just to ckmail him to get his identity token back, he still didn¡¯t have any other choice but toply! ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I dare? You are digging your own grave, here, take your identity token. When youe out from the Martial Court, then I will make you know that a waste like you is nothing more than a bug in my eyes!¡± Feng Yang took out an outer disciple identity token from his waist and threw it directly towards Long Yu. Long Yu caught the identity token with one hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up, and thought that his n ultimately seeded. The ck faced Shorty was left stunned watching this scene. Originally, he thought that he would definitely get a chance to enjoy a fight between Feng Yang and Long Yu, but he never expected that Long Yu would be able to get his identity token merely by ying with words! Moreover, earlier, looking at the confident demeanor of Long Yu, Shorty was sure that Long Yu was going to fight Feng Yang, and he was also surprised, thinking that didn¡¯t Long Yu know that Feng Yang was much stronger than Han Jian? Also, even after getting his identity token, Long Yu would indeed be able to enter the Martial Court, but even so, it was not necessary that his strength would increase in such a short time, after all, it was not easy toprehend the martial skills of the Zhentian Sect. Long Yu wanted to beat Feng Yang, and at present, it could only be said to be a wishful thinking. These thoughts appeared in the heart of the ck faced Shorty and other onlookers. But, right in front of their eyes, Long Yu had trampled Tan Yue, and also defeated Han Jian, and now, he also aggressively challenged Feng Yang. After witnessing these things, these outer disciples hade to think that nothing was impossible for this Long Yu, and he could do just anything. ¡°Hold on, hold on, wait a minute!¡± At that time, when Long Yu wanted to leave, a crisp voice of a girl, like the chirp of a canary, suddenly attracted the attention of everyone. Wearing the blue outer disciple¡¯s clothes, a figure hurriedly came out from the crowd. Long Yu looked towards the figure and saw that it was actually a pretty young girl, d in blue clothes covered in mud, and her cheeks were also covered in dust and from her appearance, one could say that she was quite distressed. Who was this person? This question shed in almost everybody¡¯s mind. ¡°It¡¯s you, so, have you changed your mind and finallye to be my follower?¡± Feng Yang looked at the girl, who had just appeared, and he could not help but squinted and immediately said in a contemptuous manner. ¡°Bah, who wants to be your follower!¡± The pretty girl said ¡°Bah¡± in a disgusted manner then suddenly shouted: ¡°Since this fellow has made a bet with you, I will also make a bet, what do you say?¡± Feng Yang heard her words and his facial expression immediately changed to a teasing one and said in a joking tone: ¡¯¡¯Don¡¯t make me repeat the same old stuff again and again. I have already told you, there¡¯s no other way for you.¡± ¡°So you really have no guts, huh?¡± The pretty girl said in a despising tone: ¡°The truth is you are afraid of losing to this fellow. The dignified governor of outer disciples actually turned out to be a coward, howughable, simply ridiculous!¡± When Feng Yang heard this, hisplexion suddenly changed: ¡°Utter rubbish! You think you can beat me in a bet? Go ahead and mention it, don¡¯t even think that I am afraid of a little girl like you!¡± ¡°My bet is rted to the bet you just made with this young fellow.¡± The pretty girlughed and carelessly pointed at Long Yu and said: ¡°When this young fellow will return from the Martial Court to fight with you, if he loses to you, then I am willing to follow you, but if you lost, then you will not only hand over my identity token to me, but you will also have to give your Qing Hua Dan. Say, do you agree?¡± ¡°Hmph, you are actually good at nning, but this bet is very unfair!¡± Feng Yang sneered because few days ago, the Sect had granted him a preciouspounded drug called Qing Hua Dan. So how could he put such a precious drug on a bet over such a trifling matter? ¡°Oh, it seems that you are really afraid of this young fellow. Fine, forget it then.¡± An obvious despising look appeared on the pretty girl¡¯s face and she turned around to leave. ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Feng Yang¡¯splexion suddenly changed when he nced towards the crowd and saw many people pointing at him, and suddenly felt ashamed, and shouted in a cold voice: ¡°Iply with the terms of this bet, but when the timees, you absolutely cannot go back on your words!¡¯¡¯ ¡°Hee hee, you don¡¯t go back on your words because I have full confidence in this young fellow!¡± A bright smile appeared on her face when she turned towards Long Yu and smiled at him. ¡°Him? You have got the wrong guy to put your confidence on.¡± Feng Yang shot a nce at Long Yu with a look of disdain in his eyes and said: ¡°This kid is known as the waste of Feng n, and even aftering to the Zhentian Sect, he is still a waste. You expect him to defeat me? How ridiculous!¡± ¡°Really? It seems that I should tell you that on the very next day of entering into the Zhentian Sect, he single-handedly defeated both Tan Yue and Han Jian. And now that he is going to enter the Martial court toprehend martial art techniques, do you think you will be his opponent after hees out!¡¯¡¯ The pretty girl said whileughing yfully, but at that time, Feng Yang¡¯splexion suddenly changed. Did he really defeat Tan Yue and Han Jian? How was this possible? That Long Yu obviously was a waste, how could he possibly beat Tan Yue? Even if he could win against Tan Yue by luck, but, it was absolutely impossible for him to defeat an opponent like Han Jian! There was a clouded look on his Feng Yang¡¯s face, but at this time, Long Yu had already achieved his goal and would certainly not waste anymore time, so he turned around to leave. Upon seeing his departing figure, the pretty girl hurriedly rushed after him. ¡°Young fellow, wait for me!¡± Within two or three steps, that adorable girl overtook Long Yu and lifted her hand to pat on his shoulder. Long Yu moved sideways to dodge her and gave an alerted look to her. ¡°Take it easy, don¡¯t be so anxious. I¡¯m with you, we are a team now and we must stand together on the battle line! You are called Long Yu right? My name is Liao Lele, I joined the Zhentian Sect three days earlier than you.¡± The pretty girl said grinningly and it seemed that she wanted to be friends with Long Yu. Chapter 15 – Cultivation core law Chapter-15 Cultivation corew Long Yu listened to the words of that tender girl, Liao Lele, and was extremely surprised. ¡°Have you joined only three days earlier?¡± Long Yu asked. ¡°Yes, but like you, that fatty Feng Yang has not only detained my identity token, but has also suppressed all of my options, so now, I can only rely on you to stand up once again¡­¡± Liao Lele happily said with a somewhat distressed look on her face. Long Yu gave a quick look at her dirty blue outer disciple¡¯s clothes and immediately understood that she must have encountered some embarrassing situation, so he asked: ¡°Why does he want from you?¡± ¡°When I passed the assessment test and joined the Zhentian Sect, that fat pig had just be the governor of the outer door disciples for this month, and took a liking to me and wanted me to be his woman. But, how can I, Liao Lele, be blind enough to be that fat pig¡¯s woman right? Liao Lele said with a disgusted look on her face. Long Yu listened to her words and thought that Feng Yang was not really fat, rather he had a strong and robust build. He couldn¡¯t understand how Feng Yang became a fat pig in the eyes of Liao Lele. ¡°Come on, I am sure that you have a good potential, so first, I will take you to the Martial Court to have a look at the marital skills. Then you can enhance your skills, so don¡¯t you fail to live up to my expectations okay? If you manage to defeat that fat pig then Qing Hua Dan will be yours.¡± Liao Lele¡¯s facial expression instantly changed and she grinningly said to Long Yu. Long Yu wrinkled his eyebrows and said: ¡°Qing Hua Dan, haven¡¯t you tricked him into betting it along with your identity token, why give it to me?¡± ¡°Good, your reply indicates that you are very confident of yourself, I feel relieved now.¡± Liao Lele smiled and said: ¡°If there is no Qing Hua Dan then what advantage do you have even if you win the fight?¡± ¡°Anyway I want to deal with him and since he is willing to present his Qing Hua Dan as a gift, why should I refuse?¡± Long Yu smiled faintly and said. Qing Hua Dan was an immortality drug and its grade was at the same level as the Yuyao Dan that had helped him in reaching the Wudao fourthyer. The role of an immortal drug like Qing Hua Dan was to quickly enhance the cultivation. If he really won a Qing Hua Dan, then by consuming it, he might be able to reach the Wudao fifthyer! His absorbing capacity of an immortality drug was at least three times the absorbing capacity of other martial cultivators, who could absorb at most thirty percent of the immortality drugs like Feng Lao, who was also considered a genius. So, this implied that his cultivation growth was going to be quicker than others. Liao Lele was leading the way, and along with Long Yu, they were advancing in the direction of the Martial Court of Zhentian Sect, and at that time, a crowd of onlookers gathered outside the Outer disciple governor¡¯s courtyard slowly dispersed in abundance. But, there were a lot of people who did not go back to practice, but keeping some distance, they started to follow Liao Lele and Long Yu who were advancing towards the Martial Court. They were quite curious how things would turn out to be and were looking forward to enjoy a good show. For them, practicing all day was very boring. But now they could have so much fun, looking forward to the fight between Feng Yang and Long Yu, once he woulde out of the Martial Court. But, at that time, Feng Yang stood inside the outer disciple governor¡¯s courtyard, looking at the departing figures of Liao Lele and Long Yu. There was a gloomy look on his square-shaped face. When their figures slowly started to disappear from his eyes, he frowned and soon went after them towards the Martial Court. He wanted to wait at the entrance of the Martial Court and once Long Yu woulde, without wasting any time, he would immediately start the fight. ¡°Waste Long Yu, even if you can beat a master like Han Jian, don¡¯t you even think that I am also a weakling like him. I will wait for you toe out of the Marital Court! Then, no matter if it¡¯s you or Liao Lele, both of you must submit before me.¡¯¡¯ There was an ominous piercing gaze in his blinking eyes, and this was not because he was scared of the fact that Long Yu had defeated Han Jian. Instead, Feng Yang was certain that Long Yu was going to die. Even if he failed to defeat Long Yu, he would still die, because he hurt Tan Yue, and her elder brother, Tan Jian, would not let him off so easily! However at present, he naturally must personally deal with Long Yu, otherwise he would be aughingstock in the eyes of everyone, inviting shame for him, the governor of outer disciples. ¡­¡­ The Martial Court, Zhentian Sect. Strictly speaking, the strongest martial art skills of the Zhentian Sect were not present in the Martial Court of Zhentian Sect but in a mountain stream located right behind the Martial Court, carved out on both sides of the mountain walls of the mountain stream. However, even the inner disciples did not have the qualifications to step into that mountain stream, and since Long Yu was an outer disciple, so how could he have the qualifications to enter the mountain stream? At this moment, what appeared in front of Long Yu were 10 exquisite tile-material garrets and each of them were ten feet tall, divided into three floors, and an outer disciple could only step into the first two floors. ¡°Good, the Martial Court has arrived, you quickly go in, look, that pig is right behind us, do not waste any time.¡± Liao Lele turned behind to give several nces then waved towards Long Yu, urging him to hurry up and enter the Martial Court. Long Yu looked at Liao Lele, nodded, as this pretty girl had not seeded in obtaining her identity token, so she could naturally not enter the Martial Court together with him. Long Yu thought that if she stayed outside the Martial Court, then won¡¯t she be bullied once again by Feng Yang? He soon found himself worrying about her. When he walked towards the Martial Court, Liao Lele¡¯s pretty personal appearance shed and rushed along another mountain road and directly disappeared! This young girl was really a clever person and it seemed that there was no need for him to worry about her. ¡°Even if I lose to Feng Yang, this girl would certainly not entrust her body to Feng Yang, but would rather run away. In the worst case scenario, she will not be able to practice in the Zhentian Sect but she can still go to other sixrge sects of the Tang State, so it¡¯s the same¡­¡­¡± Long Yu thought then immediately pulled back the train of thoughts and finally entered the Martial Court! ¡®¡¯Show me your identity token. ¡° Just as he entered the Martial Court, an old, spiritual and energetic voice fell into his ears. Long Yu took out his identity token, with ¡°Long Yu¡± engraved on it. These identity tokens were made by the elders and engraving of names was also done by them and then these tokens were given to the outer disciple¡¯s governor to distribute them among the new outer disciples. These tokens were made in such a way that it was impossible for someone to copy them. ¡°Enter, since this is your first time, you must practice the Zhentian tactics present on the first floor, then only you can go up to the second floor. On the second floor, you will find various martial art fighting techniques.¡± That old and vigorous voice continued to convey but Long Yu could not see the owner of the voice, but this voice was so deep that it seemed to be profound and unfathomable. ¡°However, young disciple, you need to practice with calm and concentrated mind, don¡¯t be belligerent, because if you received injuries while practicing then it might affect your future practice¡¯¡¯. There was a severity present in these words, but the original intention of this voice¡¯s owner was good. Long Yu felt grateful in his heart, and he held his fist in the other hand on his chest, turned towards the empty ce from where the voice wasing, and said: ¡°Thank you senior, this young disciple will advance now.¡¯¡¯ Facing the elder of the Zhentian Sect, Long Yu showed proper courtesy, and he didn¡¯t feel that there was anything improper about it. After saying that, he went straight into the first floor of the Martial Court. The Martial Court upied argend area and the first floor was altogether branched out into 108 rooms and walls of each of these rooms were engraved with parts of Zhentian tactics. Zhentian tactics was a cultivation corew and was also the heritage of Zhentian Sect. A martial cultivator required a cultivation corew to build the foundation of his cultivation! Unlike practicing the martial art techniques, practicing a cultivation corew did not help much in enhancing the fighting strength or battle efficiency of martial cultivators, but it greatly helped the cultivators in increasing the speed of absorbing the Lingqi, thus helping them in quickly increasing their cultivation level. In addition to that, it could also enhance the cirction speed of Xuan qi through the meridians inside the body, which in turn would increase the regeneration speed of Xuan qi. In fact, by practicing a good cultivation corew, a cultivator could attain enough stamina by therge amounts of Xuan qi present inside his body and he wouldn¡¯t feel exhausted during a dragged on fight. Zhentian tactics was a cultivation corew of Zhentian Sect and all the disciples practiced it. Long Yu was also looking forward to practice such a type of cultivation corew. He was aware of the fact that top ns of Yu Guan City like Tan n and Feng n didn¡¯t possess any cultivation corews and that was the biggest reason why they had to send their children like Feng Yao, Tan Jian and others to join one of the sevenrge sects of Tang State. Long Yu chose an idle room on the first floor of Martial Court and lifted the door lock to enter. After entering, he nced around in all directions, and saw that everywhere in the room, mysterious, hard to understand and profound scriptures and drawings were carved out on all the walls. ¡°So this is the Zhentian tactics of Zhentian Sect.¡± Long Yu carefully observed the scriptures and drawings carved out on the walls and suddenly found out that these things seemed to already exist in his mind. This was like a deja vu! ¡°This aura contained inherently in the Zhentian tactics is unexpectedly coinciding with the aura present in the Zhentian canyon mysterious mood!¡± Long Yu soon discovered this fact and an astonished expression suddenly appeared on his face. The Zhentian tactics was the one and only cultivation corew present in the Zhentian Sect and it was absolutely prohibited for the disciples to leak it to the outsiders to ensure that it didn¡¯t spread out. Then the Sect wouldn¡¯t possibly carve out the Zhentian tactics in the Zhentian canyon for the outsiders to see. So, what exactly was carved out on both faces of the cliffs in the Zhentian canyon? Why was Long Yu¡¯sprehension of the Zhentian mysterious mood coinciding with the Zhentian tactics? ¡°Well it doesn¡¯t matter now, that Feng Yang is still waiting outside, and I cannot disappoint him right.¡± Long Yu¡¯s eyes shed like a sharp sword: ¡°First I willprehend the Zhentian tactics, and then I will go up to the second floor and choose two martial arts techniques, only then I am going to gain confidence to defeat Feng Yang!¡± After nning his course of action, he sat cross-legged on the side of the room, and released the mysterious mood from his body, and it began to gradually integrate with the profound scriptures and mysterious drawings carved out on the walls. In a while, the Xuan qi inside Long Yu¡¯s body began to slowly follow a specific cirction route, and as he began to operate the Zhentian tactics in his mind, all of a sudden, he unexpectedly seeded inprehending it in one go. ¡°It seems like that the mysterious mood just now helped me inprehending the Zhentian tactics¡­¡­¡± Long Yu opened his eyes, with obvious doubts floating in his eyes. He really wanted to find out what this mysterious mood actually was. If all of the disciples of the Zhentian Sect practiced Zhentian tactics then weren¡¯t they able toprehend the mysterious mood as well? Currently he was still trying to figure out this puzzle when suddenly, the old and vigorous voice once again resounded in his ears! ¡°You have so quicklyprehended the Zhentian tactics. So you are that kid, whoprehended the Zhentian mysterious mood in the Zhentian Canyon during the assessment test, just as the old white talked about ha ha!¡± The old voice said in a satisfied and happy tone: ¡°Young man, very good, you must know that Zhentian mood is not so easy toprehend, and you were able toprehend it during the assessment exam, which is verymendable! Right now in the Zhentian Sect, besides the core disciples, none of the disciples have been able toprehend even a trace of Zhentian mysterious mood.¡± When Long Yu listened to this voice, his heart was still full of doubts, so he couldn¡¯t bear anymore and asked that old voice: ¡°Senior, just what kind of existence is this Zhentian mysterious mood?¡± ¡°Every Sect has a cultivation corew, like our Zhentian Sect has Zhentian tactics, and Hanbing Sect has Hanbing heart sutra and so on. All of these corews contain the unique insights of their respective creators. These insights coincide with theprehension of the world principles, and the mysterious mood youprehended is just the tip of the iceberg of Zhentian corew.¡± The old voice said in aughing manner: ¡°When a martial cultivator practices cultivation corew, and if he is very talented, then he may be able to begin to sense the mysterious mood, and as a result, he can use the world principles, increasing his might extraordinarily. Since you have alreadyprehended the Zhentian mysterious mood, you should be able to feel its extraordinary strength right?¡± ¡°Yes, Zhentian mysterious mood contains a very strong suppression force, and it gives the best results during the fights.¡± Long Yu nodded and said. ¡°Exactly, the suppression, and the Zhentian tactics contain the world principles.¡± The old voice said in a satisfied manner: ¡°However, the mysterious mood is one of the most basic levels, and as you continue toprehend deeper, and feel the charm and grace of the world principles, then your strength will be more formidable, but it is still too far away for you, now, you first familiarize yourself with the Zhentian tactics corew.¡± ¡°Yes, senior.¡± Long Yu nodded and after the puzzle in his heart was finally solved, he felt rxed. Originally, the mysterious mood was just an initial stage ofprehension of cultivation corew, and next step was feeling the charm and grace. Moreover, in the Zhentian Sect, he was not the only disciple who hadprehended the mysterious mood, but there were many core disciples who had alsoprehended the mysterious mood, and it was apparent that Feng Yun was also one of them! ¡°It seems like my practice has just started and I must work a lot harder and diligently. Now that I haveprehended the Zhentian tactics, I should be able to go to the second floor to choose the martial art techniques.¡± Long Yu eyes revealed a color of anticipation. Chapter 16 – Demon tyrant form Chapter-16 Demon tyrant form When Long Yu finished the Zhentian tactics, he entered the second floor of the Martial Court. At that time, a lot of people had started gathering in the open space outside the Martial Court In a while, a burly man d in ck clothes arrived at the gate of the Martial Court, and soon a group of people gathered around him. This burly man had an angr face as sharp as a knife, a pair of exceptionally sharp eyes, making him so fearful that people wanted to avoid looking at him. Obviously, he was a man of extraordinary strength. He came to the Martial Court leading a group people, and nced around, then fiercely said: ¡°Go and inquire, where is that brat right now.¡± ¡°Elder brother, look, that Feng Yang of Feng n is still waiting for Long Yu toe out. It seems like that waste is definitely inside the Martial Court.¡± The burly man had a scary look on his face, while at the same time, a girl d in a red dress walked slowly towards that burly man, and her face revealed a sinister and evil look. It was none other than Tan Yue, who earlier wanted to teach Long Yue a Lesson. Obviously, this burly man was Tan Jian, one of the top inner disciples of the Zhentian Sect Tan Jian turned his head to look at Tan Yue, a doting look appeared on his face and said: ¡°Rx Yue, that waste dared to injure you, I will never forgive him so easily, but nowadays, your elder brother is very busy preparing to obtain the first seat of inner disciple, so, I do not have the time to wait for him here.¡± ¡°That¡¯s natural, elder brother¡¯s time is very precious, as for that waste, the elder brother can casually send a capable person to annihte himpletely.¡± Although she looked very beautiful d in a beautiful red dress, but her eyes were filled with hatred when she said these words. That waste Long Yu, unexpectedly not only scratched her cheek before arge crowd of people, but also kicked her to roll on the ground, and finally broke her leg with a kick, letting her now to unable to walk. Now she wanted him to pay the price for this disgrace with his life! At this time Tan Yue, was lifted by two personal servants of Tan Jian on a wooden stretcher. Tan Jian wanted to let Tan Yue heal from her wounds, relieved from all these fights and hatred, but Tan Yue was determined to look at the miserable state of Long Yu with her own eyes at any cost, which made the two attendants to lift her to follow all the way to the Martial Court. ¡°Fang Kang,e out.¡± As Tan Jian shouted loudly, a thin man wearing a blue dress immediately came out from the group of people behind him. It was one of his personal attendants, Fang Kang. ¡°Brother Tan, feel free to order me anything!¡± Fang Kang had a pitch-ck face and his eyes were shining with determination. His muscles were sticking out of his body, and he seemed to possess extraordinary strength. ¡°You have recently entered the Wudao sixthyer, so dealing with that Wudao fourthyer waste should not be a problem for you , right?¡± Tan Jian said in an indifferent manner. ¡°Brother Tan, rest assured, this Fang Kang will beat that guy!¡± Fang Kang said with a confident look on his face. He was at the Wudao sixthyer and to deal with a strong Wudao fourthyer was simply a piece of cake, in fact, it was overkill for him! ¡°However, you don¡¯t need to worry about it right now, first and let Feng Yang to deal with that waste¡± Tan Jian swept his eyes towards Feng Yang, who was sitting on one side in repose with his eyes closed, and said to Fang Kang. ¡°Yes.¡± Fang Kang nodded and said. Tan Jian arbitrarily said some words to Tan Yue and then turned around to leave, apparently he didn¡¯t have much time to spare, because he wanted to obtain the first seat of inner disciples, which was not a simple thing, and if someone wanted to achieve this feat, then he would have to put two times more effort than the others. Outside the Martial Court, Feng Yang was quietly waiting for Long Yu in order to prove his strength, while at same time, Tan Yue, Fang Kang and other group of people was also waiting for Long Yu toe out. At this time, outside the Martial Court, arge number of famous outer disciples of the Zhentian Sect had also gathered to watch the show which was going to unfold soon in front of their eyes! ¡­¡­ The Martial Court, second floor. Long Yu finally stepped up, and focused his attention to the selection of martial art techniques. He had justprehended the Zhentian Tactics and once seeded in theprehension, he could voluntarily absorb the Lingqi present in the environment, and the absorption speed would also speed up considerably. Therefore he did not need to put too much thought in Lingqi absorption and he must put all his attention onprehending the mysterious mood. But now, Long Yu could quickly enhance hisbat efficiency by learning the martial skills of the Zhentian Sect. On the second floor of Martial Court, many outer disciples were present, choosing martial skills for practicing. They noticed Long Yuing inside but nobody cared about him. ¡°Body refining type, agility type, defense type, fencing, spear y type¡­¡­¡± Long Yu started to roam about on the second floor, taking a look at the martial skills, and quickly understood the ssification of these martial skills. And he was well aware of the fact that on the second floor of Martial Court, the outer disciples could choose the martial skills for practicing at will. Soon, he stopped in front of a bookshelf containing body refining type martial skills, but in Zhentian Sect, almost no one wanted to practice body refining type martial skills and reasons for that were quite understandable. First, body refining type martial skills were hard to practice and very intensive as well, and even if sessfully practiced, they would not enhance the attacking ability of the practitioners. Hence most people did not choose this technique and those who chose would always be unhappy. Second, it was better to practice defense type martial skills because they were easier to practice than refining body type martial skills and the defensive effects granted by them were much better. Because of this, other than Long Yu, no one was standing near the bookshelf of body refining type martial skills. But as far as Long Yu was concerned, right now, he was in an urgent need to practice a body refining type martial skill. Because, if he would practice a body refining type martial skill then his own body and spirit would be strengthened, increasing his defense and stamina as well, and then it would be easier for him to withstand the burden and strenuous pressure on his body, brought by the activation of the ¡®Nine Dragons hidden Mark¡¯. At present, the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ granted him the strength enhancement of 10,000 Jin, and the effect was better than most high-grade attack type martial skills, not to mention, looking at the trend of continuously increasing strength enhancements from the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯, there was a possibility of further transformation in the mark and then the strength enhancement might be even more than 10,000 Jin. Since there were not many people who chose to practice body refining type martial skills, so there weren¡¯t many body refining martial skills on the bookshelf. Long Yu swept through the few martial skills kept on the bookshelf and noticed that most of them were high-grade body refining martial skills. Like immortality drugs, martial skills were also divided into low-grade skills, high-grade skills and top-grade skills. On the second floor of Zhentian Sect¡¯s Martial Court, most of the martial skills present were high-grade skills and a few top-grade skills. ¡°Demon tyrant form.¡± Long Yu looked at the top grade body refining martial skills, and even if there were top grade skills avable, no one would practice them. They would simplyy aside on the second floor of Martial Court. The most popr ones were fencing and agility type marital skills, and only after practicing top grade martial skills, one could be promoted to be an inner disciple in the Zhentian Sect. ¡°Demon tyrant form uses the Xuan qi to refine the body, enhances the physique and stature, and after practicing to Xiao Cheng realm, one can double their own anti-strike force, and once practiced to Dacheng realm, it will double again! At the same time, it can also enhance one¡¯s own certain basic strength, enabling the other martial skills to disy a stronger might.¡± Long Yu looked at the introduction of ¡°Demon tyrant form¡±, and thought in his heart, then finally decided to choose this body refining type martial skill. Although, practicing time of the Demon tyrants body technique was exceptionally painful. During its practice Xuan qi began to circte in the entire body of the cultivator hardening his body and reorganization of the body on a very minute level, causing an unbearable pain, and Long Yu was confident that he would certainly be able to withstand the pain. After picking up the ¡°Demon tyrant form¡± martial skill¡¯s book, Long Yu turned around and came to the other side of the floor where the bookshelf for the popr agility type martial skill was present. Agility type martial skill was frequently chosen by many outer disciples, because duringbat, speed was considered to be very important, and no one would ignore this fact ¡°Flickering wind step, isn¡¯t this the same agility type martial skill practiced by that Wu Qing?¡± Long Yu soon saw the words ¡°Flickering wind step¡± on a book, and thought of the time when Wu Qing had used this technique to move with great speed using this. He immediately decided to select this martial skill. Two martial skills were enough for now, because more skills were suddenly impossible to practice. As for the attack methods, Long Yu had ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ to increase his overall offense and defense strength, so he didn¡¯t need a martial skill to increase his strength. Thinking logically, it was enough for him toprehend the ¡®Demon tyrant form¡¯ to increase his stamina and ¡®instantaneous wind step¡¯ to increase his speed, coupled with the surplus strength of 10,000 Jin. Long Yu picked up the two martial skills and registered them at the second floor, then immediately returned to the first floor and looked for the same room where he hadprehended the Zhentian tactics awhile ago and started to practice. ¡°Demon tyrant form, you have actually selected a body refining martial skill?¡± After Long Yu came to the first floor, that old voice conveyed once more, and there was an unexpected surprised expression in the voice, as if it never expected that Long Yu would select a body refining type martial skill to practice. ¡°This is also good if you can practice a body refining martial skill to the Da Cheng realm then the effect is obviously going to be very good. The practice of a martial skill is divided into beginner level, Xiao Cheng, Da Cheng, the peak and so on stages. If today, you seed in practicing the Demon tyrant form to the beginner realm then it will be regarded as excellent!¡± ¡°Demon tyrant form only to the beginner level¡­¡­¡± Long Yu thought to himself and was naturally not satisfied with this result. The Martial Court was closed every day at midnight, and before that, Long Yu mustprehend the Demon tyrant form and Flickering wind steps to a certain extent, otherwise, once he would go out of the Marital Court and face Feng Yang, he would probably have low chances of winning. Right after entering the room, Long Yu felt the Zhentian tactics engraved on the walls. He immediately released the mysterious mood and without wasting any time, he started to browse through the book of Demon tyrant form. ¡°Transformation of the Lingqi into the Xuan qi inside the body of the martial cultivators is the basis of any marital skills. If one wants to practice and master the Demon tyrant form, one must fill and circte each and every inch of the meridians present in his body with the Xuan qi, so that it greatly increased the bearing capacity of the meridians which in turn will also increase the amount of Xuan qi circting through the meridians.¡± Long Yu thought to himself, and started to practice the Demon tyrant form in ordance with the method described in the book, and soon, the Xuan qi began to quickly circte into his meridians, and after some time, he realized that his body meridians were having a painful itching feeling, as if there were countless insects biting on his meridians! Long Yu didn¡¯t utter a single word, he was silent, because he knew that this was the feeling of intense pain was actually the refinement of his meridians growing under the forceful effects of the Demon tyrant form, and until the end of this refinement, the cirction of the Xuan qi in his meridians would be more vigorous and tenacious than before. After that, he would be able to withstand the burden of activation of ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯. As the time passed, the painful itching feeling in the meridians gradually increased and slowly strengthened, and beads of sweat appeared on Long Yu¡¯s forehead, while his body started to shiver. Even if he was strong man with a strong willpower but he almost could not withstand the beginner level of the Demon tyrant form! If there was someone else in his shoes, for example that Tan Yue girl, it was impossible to constantly bear the continuous flow of the Xuan qi through the meridians. The key was the proliferation of the whole body and cirction of Xuan qi everywhere, and once started to practice, one couldn¡¯t voluntarily stop it, but could only withstand the intense pain with sheer determination and strong willpower. Such practice methods were discarded by arge number of disciples in the Zhentian, moreover after sessfully practicing Demon tyrant form, one could strengthen the meridians through which could also increase the amount of Xuan qi cirction, but one could not have a significant improvement in the battle efficiency and strength, which was the main reason why most disciples denounced body refining martial skills. Only Long Yu had such special circumstances so he wanted to practice a body refining type martial skill. An hour, two hour, Long Yu withstood the pain and continued to endure while the Xuan qi was unceasingly circting through the meridians in his body and when it was finally close to the evening, he had sessfullypleted soaking up and refining each and every inch of his meridians with Xuan qi. ¡°Finished.¡± Long Yu¡¯s whole body rxed, sweat had already drenched his body, and at this time, he discovered that in the process of refinement of the meridians, the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ was giving off heat. ¡°It seems like that ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ also has a promotion effect on the speed of practicing the martial skills ¡­¡­¡± Long Yu thought to himself, opened his eyes, stood up, clenched his fists, and discovered that now that he had practiced the Demon tyrant form to the beginner level, his initial strength of 8000 Jin had impressively increased by 800 Jin. It seemed like practicing a body refining type martial skill was still somewhat useful to him. Then, he activated the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ and an instant influx of strength 10,000 Jin spread through his refined meridians, and this time, he noticed that it was very easy for him to bear the burden and he felt more rxed than before. ¡°Now, after activating the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯, I obtain strength of 10,000 Jin, and it won¡¯t be a problem to maintain this state for the burning time of two sticks of incense.¡± Long Yu¡¯s heart calmed down, because burning time of two sticks of incense was two times the earlier time, and this way, he would have better chances to win in his fight with Feng Yang. However the day had not yet ended. The closing time for Martial Court was at midnight, and there was still half the evening¡¯s time before that, so Long Yu decided to use this time topletelyprehend ¡®¡¯Flickering wind step¡¯¡¯! Chapter 17 – Agility Xiao Cheng Chapter-17 Agility Xiao Cheng While Long Yu was busy in practicing martial skills inside the Martial Court, and the crowd, who had been waiting outside the Martial Court, now became a bit impatient. ¡°How long the boy wants to remain inside the Martial Court, does he think that Feng brother and Tan junior sister apprentice will give up?¡± ¡°Well, I think he is attempting toprehend the martial skills, but, he has merely one day of time and even if he is talented, he will not be able toprehend any formidable martial art skills!¡± ¡°Well, when the moment arrives and hees out, it will be impossible for him to escape from Feng Yang and Fang Kang.¡± Everyone was talking about, even someone deliberately let Feng Yang and Tan Yue to hear and in turn provoked them, and this was simply to prevent them from getting impatient and leave, otherwise would they not miss a chance to enjoy the show? Feng Yang looked up, nced around and lightly snorted. The people thought that Feng Yang was good in his patience but his temperament was hot, but at this crucial moment, he would obviously not lose his cool. However, from the depth of her heart, Tan Yue hated Long Yu, so there was less chance that she would leave the ce without dealing with Long Yu and giving him a miserable fate. ¡°Fang Kang, while I watch the whole thing, you make sure that this waste kid ends up in such a miserable state that he cannot even beg for his own death!¡± Lying on a stretcher, Tan Yue said while clenching her teeth in anger. On one side, Feng Yang was sitting cross-legged, in meditation and controlling his breath. When he heard her words, he said with a disdainful smile: ¡°Sister Tan, be at ease, what that Wudao fourthyer brat can possibly do against me?¡± ¡°You better take care of him or you won¡¯t be able to show your face to my brother.¡± Tan Yue said it bitterly. She remembered that how in the morning, Han Jian was defeated by Long Yu, and at that time, she and Han Jian also thought that Long Yu was a waste, who would have imagined that this waste fellow would unexpectedly defeat her and Han Jian? However, at present, Feng Kang was at the Wudao sixthyer, so how would that waste go against heaven¡¯s will this time. It would be impossible for him to surmount twoyers gap to defeat Fang Kang, only one thing worried her that he might resort to some other method, or he might seek help from the Sect elders. Of course, as long as deaths were not involved in the fights between these delinquent outer disciples, Sect elders generally didn¡¯t have anything to do with these matters, so even if an outer disciples like Long Yu went to seek help from Sect elders that should not cause a serious obstruction to their ns. The sun was setting in the western sky, the curtain of night soon fell, but the enthusiasm of the hundreds of people gathered outside the Martial Court had not dwindled, rather it was growing more and more with the passage of time. ¡­¡­ Inside the Martial court, Long Yu started practicing ¡®¡¯Flickering wind steps¡¯¡¯. When he had just set foot on the Zhentian Canyon, his first opponent was Wu Qing who had disyed the ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯. Now Long Yu saw the introduction of the Flickering wind step and came to know that Wu Qing had just practiced it to the Xiao Cheng level, and so back then, when he attacked Long Yu, his weight would be light like the wind and his forward speed was also verymendable. If Flickering wind step was practiced to the Da Cheng level, then it would provide to the cultivator such a power that he could step a distance of three to ten feet in a blink of an eye, and then, he would be able to perform sneak attack on his enemies and these attack would be so swift that his opponents would have no chance to guard against them. However right now, only half an evening¡¯s time was remaining for him and it was impossible to practice the Flickering wind step to the Da Cheng level in such a short time. ¡°So long as I can practice the Flickering wind step to the Xiao Cheng level then like Wu Qing, I will be able to lighten my weigh and move like the wind with my running speed increasing by at least 50% and this much is enough to deal with Feng Yang.¡± Long Yu thought and started to carefully read Flickering wind step agility type martial skill. Soon, he followed the secret methods present in the records. Xuan qi began to circte in a definite route in the meridians of his body, and in a while, he really felt as if his body seemed to have be lighter. ¡°The key next step is ¡­¡­¡± Long Yu thought to himself. He felt that Xuan Qi was circting in a systematic way in his body, and he could not help but notice the mysterious feeling of this systematic cirction of Xuan qi guided by the agility type martial skill. The different cirction routes of Xuan qi would produce totally different results, thus made thousands of formidable martial skills to be formed in this world and even made it possible to control the world principles depending on this. After understanding this feeling that he got just now, Long Yu calmed his mind and focused on practicing. The Nine hidden Dragon Mark on his chest began to release heat slowly and it secretly coordinated with the flickering wind step speeding up the systematic cirction of the Xuan qi in his meridians, suddenly making him toprehend the flickering wind step very fast. After two hours passed, Long Yu opened his eyes, and stood up. ¡°It is finished, Flickering wind step beginner level!¡± Long Yu used his thoughts to and started to circte the Xuan qi in his meridians making his body to be light al of a sudden but when he tried his new speed in the room, he sensed that his speed had increased only by 20-30%! ¡°It¡¯s not enough, in case of Flickering wind step marital skill, only after achieving the Xiao Cheng level, I can have qualitative increase in the speed which will enable me to have advantage in the fight.¡± After running twops in the room and testing his new speed, Long Yu stopped, sat down cross legged in the mediation pose, and continued theprehension. But his speed ofprehension startled the Martial Court elder who was secretly observing him! ¡°This child is so extraordinary perceptive? He justprehended Demon tyrant form to the beginner level, and right after that, he alsoprehended Flickering wind step to the beginner level and that too in just two hours time. Thisprehension speed is simply unheard of, and I have never heard about something like this in the history of Zhentian Sect! And looking at his current determination, it seems that he wouldprehend even further by tonight¡­¡­ ¡° The Marital Court elder continued to secretly observe Long Yu, but he was not aware of this and continued to calmly practice until nearly midnight. Flickering wind step was considered as very basic martial skill in the Zhentian Sect, so theprehension difficultly was not too high and many outer disciples could easily practice to the Xiao Cheng level. However, for someone toprehend ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯ to the Xiao Cheng level, and that too in just one night, had never happened in the history of the Zhentian Sect. After reaching the Wudao fourthyer, the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ had changed on his chest, and after that, it started to help Long Yu inprehending the martial skills at an incredibly faster rate because this mark could actually increase the cirction speed of Xuan qi in his meridians, thereby increasing theprehension rate of the martial skill. Depending on this point alone, he was destined to surprise the elder of the Martial Court. ¡°Flickering wind step, Xiao Cheng!¡± Long Yu again stood up, and felt that his body had be very light like the wind itself, and while circting the Xuan qi in his meridians, so long as he condensed the Xuan qi in his legs, his speed would increase by 50 % than before. Moreover, the Flickering wind step, when disyed, didn¡¯t consume too much Xuan qi, so one could maintain this marital skill for a long time in battle. ¡°No wonder agility ss martial skills are more popr than the attack and defense type martial skills, because either chase or escape, agility ss martial skills are very essential.¡± For the marital cultivators of the Tian Yu continent, what was the most important thing? Of course, their lives! Compared to the attack or defense type martial skills, the agility type martial skill was better because it gave better results in terms of saving life. Now Long Yu hadprehended the body refining type marital skill, Demon tyrant form, to the beginner level. He had alsoprehended an agility type marital skill, Flickering wind step, to the Xiao Cheng level, and it was already midnight and closing time for the Martial Court. When Long Yu felt about it, he got up and left the room, and proceeded to exit the Marital Court. Long Yu knew that Feng Yang must be waiting for him outside the Martial Court, and there was every possibility that other people would also be present there, but he did not fear, because he had already anticipated this a long time ago, and at this moment, he himself was waiting for this and was also well prepared. ¡®¡¯Feng Yang, you seized my identity token, treated me like a waste, so let me have a look at your strength and see just how much strong you really are!¡± Long Yu thought and quickly stepped outside the Martial Court! Right when Long Yu stepped out of the Martial Court, he did not hear a satisfied whisper in the Marital Court saying: ¡°This child really gave me a pleasant surprise today, it seems that soon, my Zhentian Sect will have a formidable individual, more talented than several geniuses throughout the Tang State¡­¡­¡±¡¯ ¡­¡­ The moonlight such as a silver gauze, the tree¡¯s shadows were spread everywhere, and in the open space outside the Martial Court, hundreds of outer disciples of the Zhentian Sect were gathered, each ready to find a good location to watch the show. In the midnight, most of the outer disciples practicing in the Martial Court had already departed, and when Long Yu came out, he was alone and his form appeared bleak, especially under the moonlight. As soon as he appeared, the atmosphere outside the Martial Court suddenly changed. ¡°Look, that guy finally came out, wait, why does his footsteps appear so lithe and graceful, as if he hasprehended some agility type martial skill!¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that he finally came out, so let us hope that he doesn¡¯t get scared and kneels down to beg for mercy otherwise our wait would be totally in vain if that happens.¡± ¡°Hmph, even if he kneels down to beg for mercy, it doesn¡¯t mean that Sister Tan Yue will let him off right?¡± Everyone was talking about it, and was looking towards Long Yu mostly with looks of contempt and disdain in their eyes. They felt that this boy didn¡¯t know the immensity of heaven and earth, just joined the Zhentian Sect, and was behaving so rampantly. It was necessary to teach him a lesson. They never thought that Long Yu was going to shock them with aplete turn of event, exactly opposite of what they had originally expected. And now, he was going to teach lesson to those who had came to teach him a lesson! ¡°Feng Yang, I came out.¡± Long Yu stepped out of the Martial Court, located the tall Feng Yang in the crowd and said with an indifferent look in his eyes. ¡°Waste, you really dared toe out.¡± Feng Yang looked at Long Yu said in a despised manner: ¡°Now I¡¯ll let you know that a waste like you made a wrong decision to challenge me to a fight.¡± ¡°Mistake, it is not wrong. Well forget that and tell me, have you brought the Qing Hua Dan with you?¡± Long Yu waved his hand and changed the subject while simultaneously threw a provoking question at him. ¡°Qing Hua Dan, hmph are you stupid enough to be really dreaming of the Qing Hua Dan?¡± Feng Yang gave a contemptuous smile, his square shaped face revealed disdain and thought, did Long Yu really want to win against him? It was simply a wishful thinking! ¡°Hello, hello, hello, you must follow the agreement, and you are real man, so how you can possibly go back on your words!¡± Just then, a tender figure jumped out from the side, it was none other than Liao Lele who had run away earlier! But at this time, Liao Lele was dressed in a gray clothes which was definitely not a uniform issued by the Zhentian Sect, and she carried a bag on her back, and from her appearance, it was apparent that she was well prepared to run away. Long Yu looked at her and the corners of his mouth slightly curled upward then said: ¡°Liao Lele, it seems that you are prepared for my defeat and n to flee from the Zhentian Sect the second I lose aren¡¯t you?¡± Liao Lele turned, a pair of eyes stared at him: ¡°Nonsense, do you think I, Liao Lele, looks like a person who would go back on her words? This is my n and if you idently lose in the fight, I brought the luggage to live together with that fat pig!¡± Fat Pig! When Feng Yang heard this, his face directly turned green, this stinky girl actually called him a ¡°fat pig¡±, how outrageous! But when he saw Liao Lele¡¯s appearance, how could he not know the n of this stinky girl? ¡°Hmph, waste Long Yu, when you lose, I will not let that stinky girl to run away. And I don¡¯t go back on my words so about what you asked just now, the Qing Hua Dan is tied to my belt and if you think that you have the ability thene and take it!¡± Feng Yang lightly snorted then his grandiose stature marched forward towards Long Yu to confront him! Chapter 18 – Play staged Chapter ¨C 18 y staged When Long Yu came out from the Martial Court, the stage was finally set for the show. Liao Lele withdrew a few steps towards the crowd while firmly staring and keeping a close eye on the two contenders and shouted loudly: ¡°Long Yu, go for it!¡± ¡°Junior sister apprentice, I think you are wasting your time.¡¯¡¯ After Liao Lele shouted and cheered for Long Yu, and right after that, an outer disciple standing behind her said with a contemptuous smile on his face: ¡°Everyone knows that the governor of the outer disciples for each month ultimately bes an inner disciple, that is to say, Feng Yang is on the line to be an inner disciple, so how can Long Yu possibly be his opponent.¡¯¡¯ ¡°What utter nonsense.¡¯¡¯ Liao Lele snorted loudly and said: ¡°Some people said that he was definitely not the opponent of Han Jian and Tan Yue, you do know what happened next? When that outer disciple heard her words, he immediately gave a cold humph and looked contemptuously at Liao Lele, who was still cheerfully looking at Long Yu, and didn¡¯t speak any more. On the side, Tan Yue was lying on a wooden stretcher, and when she heard these words, it seemed as if fire would burst out from her eyes. Her knife like gaze swept towards Liao Lele. ¡°This woman is so dead, actually dares to despise thisdy. Thisdy will make her pay the price.¡± Tan Yue said in a vicious tone. Fang Kang was sitting beside her, and when he heard these words, he said:¡±Sister Tan, let me first deal with that waste Long Yu, thenter we will deal with that insolent woman.¡±¡¯ ¡°Humph.¡± Tan Yue bitterly snorted but didn¡¯t say anything else because the words of Fang Kang acted like a deterrent to her anger, after all, Fang Kang was about to be an inner disciple and he was capable of doing what just he said. There was an open field outside the Martial Court. At that time, Feng Yang was calm andposed and was looking at Long Yu with a touch of sarcastic color in his eyes: ¡°Waste, what super martial skill have youprehended in the Martial Court that makes you so confident in front of me?¡¯¡¯ ¡°Why don¡¯t you try and see it for yourself? Come.¡± Long Yu contemptuously smiled and gestured with his fingers telling Feng Yang toe forward. (Mystique- Bruce lee style J) There was an obvious scornful meaning hidden in this gesture and Feng Yang¡¯s face immediately turned dark and gloomy. He immediately stepped forward towards Long Yu and fiercely said: ¡°Waste, tonight you won¡¯t depart from here on your own legs.¡± As he stepped forward, the air in the surroundings began to vibrate, and produced ripple of shock waves in the air, which rushed towards Long Yu, standing several feet away from Feng Yang, and reached him in a blink of an eye. ¡°It¡¯s the Shaking airw!¡± Long Yu looked at it and immediately understood what Feng Yang just used was actually an agility type martial skill known as ¡®The Shaking airw¡¯ that he had also seen in the Martial Court. ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯ was also an agility type martial skill, but these two martial skills were actually not based on the same principle. ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯ made the weight of the body of the practitioner very light like the wind, thus speeding up his pace, while ¡®The Shaking airw¡¯ actually vibrated the air and produced ripples of shock waves in the air to push the body forward with great speed. From the beginner level till Xiao Cheng level, there was not much difference between the effects of these two agility type martial skills, but at the Da Cheng level, they were entirely different from each other. In the Da Cheng realm of ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯ one could cover thirty feet distance in just one step, in a blink of an eye, thus it provided a tremendous speed to its practitioner. At the Da Cheng level of ¡®The shaking airw¡¯, it was possible to greatly vibrate the air to produce mighty ripples in the air to boost the sting speed of cultivator, and these ripples could also suppress the motion of the surrounding enemy. As Feng Yang was soon going to be promoted to the rank of inner disciples, so it was certain that he would have definitely practiced ¡®The Shaking airw¡¯ to the Da Cheng level. As Feng Yang moved forward, the air ripples proliferated through the air and instantly enveloped Long Yu. Shroudedpletely with these air ripples, Long Yu immediately felt some difficulty in breathing. After practicing a martial skill to the Da Cheng level, its might also increased incredibly inparison to its might at Xiao Cheng level. ¡°Nine hidden Dragons Mark, activate!¡± Long Yu¡¯s used his intention to immediately activate the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ which then began to give off heat on his chest. The ck lines on his chest began to release ck traces of light that immediately spread throughout his body and granted him the strength of 10,000 Jin. In order to confront Feng Yang, a master of Wudao fifthyer, who had alsoprehended an agility type martial skill to the Da Cheng level, it was absolutely necessary for Long Yu to keep the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ activated at all times otherwise it would be impossible for him to face this opponent. The next moment, the vibrating air ripples drew close to Long Yu while carrying the body of Feng Yang. ¡°Coiling Dragon legs!¡± Feng Yang¡¯s eyes exposed fiery look and his two legs appeared simr to two big coiling dragons. He had condensed his own tyrannical Xuan qi in his legs to congeal two coiling dragons around his legs and sted them against Long Yu from both sides. This was the might of the Da Cheng level of a martial skill named Coiling Dragon legs! ¡°Zhentian Mysterious Mood, suppression!¡± Long Yu clenched his teeth. The mysterious mood immediately suppressed Feng Yang along with his turbulent strength, and then right at this instant, Long Yu sted his fists to resist Feng Yang¡¯s legs. Demon tyrant form had increased his basic strength, and at this time, his fists contained the strength of about 20,000 Jin, that was equal to the strength of 20 fierce horses! Long Yu¡¯s fists collided fiercely with the legs of Feng Yang, the vigorous power present their formidable Xuan qi caused a cyclone and it proliferated everywhere in the surroundings, and immediately sent dust flying upwards and scattered everywhere blocking the sights of everyone under this moonlit night. Long Yu felt a violent pain in his fist because he just bumped his fists against the legs covered in a martial skill, Coiling Dragon legs, practiced to the Da Cheng by Feng Yang, granting an incredible strength and toughness to his legs. However, due the condensation of Xuan qi on his fists, the strength level of the two sides was almost the same, so in this round of battle, he actually did not get any serious injuries. Long Yu¡¯s punch had pushed Feng Yang two steps back and his face suddenly turned green. How could this waste actually possess the strength to repel him? And what was that strange force that came out of nowhere and suddenly suppressed his strength. It made him feel like the imposing aura of the world itself was suppressing him, just as he had felt in the Zhentian Canyon? He was still thinking, when suddenly, Long Yu¡¯s figure rushed through the flying dust like an incarnation of wind itself and vanished from the eyes of Feng Yang. ¡°What! He is at the Xiao Cheng level of ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯?¡± Feng Yang was not prepared when he suddenly lost his target in all of the dust flying in the air and barring the visibility. There was an expression of surprise on his face. He didn¡¯t think that in just one day¡¯s time, this waste could actuallyprehend ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯ to the Xiao Cheng level! Deng Deng Deng! (Mystique- Sound of footsteps) A series of sounds made from several footsteps came from his left side that made him vignt and he congealed Coiling dragons on his both legs and swept them towards his left direction! However the next moment, he found out that his legs unexpectedly kicked nothing. Long Yu had intentionally produced sound of footsteps on his left side and then immediately fled from there to another direction. ¡°Ha!¡± A heavy punch came from the right side of Feng Yang, but both his legs were swept towards his right side and were still in the air, so there was no way for him to dodge it. Bang! Feng Yang¡¯s shoulder was severely hit by Long Yu¡¯s heavy punch making him to lose his bnce and his wholerge stature staggered and was pushed back several steps. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Feng Yang had condensed Xuan qi in his shoulder otherwise this malicious punch would have discarded his arm right from the shoulder. Feng Yang¡¯s shoulder numbed and a tingling sensation spread in it which left himpletely puzzled. This waste Long Yu was obviously at the Wudao fourthyer then how could he possibly have higher might than him? Feng Yang was at the Wudao fifthyer, and he possessed the strength of 16000 Jin, and Long Yu actually possessed the strength of almost 20000 Jin after activating ¡®Nine Hidden Dragons mark¡¯ so when it came to strength level, Long Yu had already surpassed Feng Yang! The difference of strength between the two was more than 3000 Jin, giving an advantage to Long Yu, but Feng Yang hadprehended both his attack type and agility type martial skills to the Da Cheng level which could easily change the flow of this battle. ¡°Let¡¯s end this.¡± Long Yu¡¯s mouth slightly curled up, he didn¡¯t stop, and the next instant, he threw a severe kick at the back of Feng Yang. ¡°Just you wait and I will show you how to end a fight!¡± Feng Yang was not a fool and was already prepared. Once again, he congealed coiling dragons on his legs and also used ¡®The Shaking airw¡¯ at the same time, turned around and swept both his legs, one leg blocked Long Yu¡¯s attack and another leg kicked towards his head. ¡°Dodge!¡± Long Yu¡¯s figure was moving around so fast, it seemed as if he was floating in the wind itself, and that was because his body was light as the wind. He was continuously changing directions and also continued his attacks stochastically. Although, Feng Yang had practiced ¡®The Shaking airw¡¯ to the Da Cheng level and could use the air ripples to hinder Long Yu¡¯s movements, but the suppressive effect of the Zhentian mysterious mood was causing much stronger hindrance effectpared to the hindrance caused by the air ripples of Feng Yang¡¯s agility type martial skill! Due to this, Feng Yang gradually fell into a disadvantageous situation because he was now inferior to Long Yu in both speed and strength. ¡°Ah, see, an elder!¡± When there was a deadlock between the two, a crisp and clear voice of a female surprisingly came from the side of the crowd. This female voice suddenly attracted everyone¡¯s attention when they were originally concentrating on the fierce battle going on between Long Yu and Feng Yang. They immediately started looking in all directions in order to locate where this so-called elder actually appeared from. When Feng Yang heard this, it totally distracted him, and his mind began to tremble. ¡°It¡¯s not good, I have withheld the identity tokens of some outer disciples. If the elder came to know about this then what would happen to me?¡± Feng Yang was somewhat panicking and his eyes were sweeping all around to locate the elder. However at that time, only Long Yu waspletely undistracted, and at present, his eyes were fully focused on his opponent, Feng Yang. Seeing the distracted Feng Yang, who had even begun to look all around, Long Yu immediately understood that his victory was not far away from him. ¡°Zhentian mysterious mood! Kill.¡± The imposing aura of mysterious mood instantly spread andpletely enveloped Feng Yang, then Long Yu used flickering wind step and went towards Feng Yang at a very high speed andunched several punches and kicks at him using his full strength. Each of his attacks was nned to hit an extremely tricky angle, not to mention Feng Yang¡¯s mind had been chaotic and distracted, so it became very difficult for him to resist! It happened so fast that Feng Yang did not know how to resist against so many punches and kicks rained at different angles on his body by Long Yu. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Under sessive and countless bombardments of attacks condensed with the strength of 20,000 Jin, it was obvious that Feng Yang waspletely unable to resist for too long. He spouted blood from his mouth and his body flew upside down and fell heavily on the ground! Feng Yang fell down, the onlookers were silent, all of them had unbelievable looks in their eyes while their gazes were shifting back and forth between Long Yu and Feng Yang¡¯s body on the ground. Long Yu actually won and that too in such a short time? Feng Yang was actually a master of Wudao fifthyer, but was so easily defeated by a boy who was only at the Wudao fourthyer, and not just defeated, he was severely injured and fell unconscious as well. This waspletely contrary to everyone¡¯s expectations! ¡°Great, you really won!¡± The same voice of a female, who shouted ¡°See, an elder¡± a moment ago, shouted again followed by a lively figure wearing a gray robeing out of the crowd and suddenly jumped into the field and went towards the injured body of Feng Yang lying on the ground. It was none other than Liao Lele! Just now, she yed this trick to distract Feng Yang and threw his concentration into chaos. Long Yu seized this opportunity to defeat him in one fell swoop! At this time, Liao Lele came at the side of the fainted Feng Yang, searched his clothes for some time and took out her identity token and an exquisite small jade bottle. When Liao Lele saw these two things, her face reflected a smile of satisfaction. ¡°Qing Hua Dan, here, take it Long Yu!¡± After Liao Lele kept her identity token, she threw the exquisite jade bottle towards Long Yu standing not far from her. Long Yu caught it with one hand and opened it, and just then, a burst of intoxicating smell filled the air. It was undoubtedly the immortality pill, Qing Hua Dan! But before he could rx, a figure standing aside sneered and said in a loud voice: ¡°Viins collude together, what¡¯s the point of such a victory, truly inelegant, tonight this Fang Kang would reveal the true identity of this waste and take revenge for Feng Yang junior disciple!¡¯¡¯ Everyone looked towards the source of sound and saw a slim man d in blue dress and was stepping on the field from the side of Tan Yue¡¯s stretcher. This young, dark-skinned, muscr and brave looking man was Tian Jian¡¯s personal attendant, Fang Kang, who had recently stepped into the Wudao sixthyer! Chapter 19 – Wudao fifth layer Chapter 19 Wudao fifthyer When Long Yu defeated Fang Yang, all of the people surrounding the field were stunned at the scene that unfolded in front of their eyes. They never thought that Long Yu would actually be more powerful than Feng Yang. But, at that time when Fang Kang came out and moved towards the field, the people again concentrated on the show which was soon to unfold. Feng Yang¡¯s defeat could be called an ident because of Liao Lele¡¯s interference and its impact was not small on the oue of the entire fight. But, now the people would like to see that what Long Yu would do while facing Fang Kang! Long Yu looked at the ck-faced youth and could not help but revealed a smile on his face and said: ¡°So you are Brother Fang Kang, greetings on our first meeting, I have already heard of your name, but now I am able to see you in person. It is really an honor for a new disciple like me.¡¯¡¯ Wen Fang Kang heard these words, although he very much disdained Long Yu, but also could not help but revealed a self-satisfied smile on his face. Long Yu hade to Zhentian Sect only two days ago and still heard about his name. Didn¡¯t this imply that he was actually a very famous disciple that even newers knew about him? Fang Kang was only twenty years old this year and was still able to step into the Wudao sixthyer, and after one month, he was going to be one of the representatives of Zhentian Sect to enter into the ¡®Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest¡¯. These achievements were enough to make him proud of himself. ¡°Ahem, whatever you say today is going to be futile, Brother Tan Jian has entrusted me to teach you a lesson, so you cannot run away.¡¯¡¯ Fang Kang¡¯s face reflected a color of self satisfaction, and with somecency, he nced at Long Yu and said, ¡°I must teach you a lesson.¡± Long Yu, following the meaning in these words, smiled and said: ¡°Of course, after all, Brother Fang Kang is a liberal and honest senior, the epitome of righteousness and also the role model for us new disciples!¡± ¡°Well.¡± Fang Kang started to take great pleasure from Long Yu¡¯s words. ¡°So, I believe that the righteous Brother Fang Kang will not take advantage of a petty new disciple, right?¡± Long Yu immediately caught the flow of conversation and said: ¡°Now I am at Wudao fourthyer, but senior brother is actually at Wudao sixthyer, although senior brother has decided to teach me a lesson, but I¡¯m afraid people will gossip, which I think senior brother certainly does not want to happen. Let me absorb the Qing Hua Dan and then teach me a lesson. Then even if people gossip, won¡¯t they say that senior brother is so kind and righteous?¡± Hearing these words, Liao Lele, who was standing nearby, finally rxed. She initially thought that Long Yu praised Fang Kang because perhaps he wanted to ask for mercy, she did not expect that he was actually ying with Fang Kang¡¯s mind in order to gain time to absorb the Qing Hua Dan. As for the other people standing in the surroundings, they were simply astonished as they never expected that Long Yu would make such a remark. Both Long Yu and Fang Kang knew that Long Yu was not his opponent! But even if he absorbed the Qing Hua Dan, it was not necessary that he would have a breakthrough to reach Wudao fifthyer. Even after absorbing the Qing Hua Dan, he would still be taught a brutal lesson by Fang Kang! Fang Kang also had the same view on this matter. He listened to Long Yu¡¯s words, and said with a contemptuous look on his face: ¡°Qing Hua Dan, it is awarded to the governor of the outer disciples, and its effects are good, but it is impossible to advance to Wudao fifthyer with just its help. Anyway, I will only wait for an hour got it? Since Long Yu said so many words in hispliments, in order to maintain his ¡°liberal, tolerant, honest and righteous¡± image in front of everyone, he thought to act ordingly and show off, anyway it was not good to act with undue haste, because in any case, Long Yu was not his match so what was to fear? Aside on the wooden stretcher, a color of bitterness appeared on Tan Yue¡¯s beautiful face with hatred apparent in her eyes, but since this matter was now concerning Fang Kang, so long as he could teach that Long Yu a lesson, she didn¡¯t mind how he would do that! ¡°Tonight, this Tan Yue must step on the face of that waste, then I will make you call me your great-grandmother!¡¯¡¯ Tan Yue eyes sparkled with hatred, keeping a close eye on Long Yu in the field. Long Yu did not care about Tan Yu, because in his eyes, the defeated were not worthy of his attention. After hearing Fang Kang¡¯s consent, Long Yu was secretly relieved, he immediately sat down cross-legged on the scene, took out Qing Hua Dan, which was exuding fragrance in his hand and swallowed it down. Qing Hua Dan was an extremely rare immortality pill, and it would be false to say that after seeing the Qing Hua Dan in Long Yu¡¯s hand, the outer disciples were not excited in their hearts. However, in the Zhentian Sect, no one could dare to rob immortality pills, and it would be a different matter if one managed to win the bet. Long Yu had obtained it in ordance with an agreement, and if anybody tried to snatch it from him, then such behavior would not be tolerated by the Sect When the people looked at Long Yu grasping Qing Hua Dan in his hand then swallowing it down his mouth, their faces suddenly became gloomy. They just couldn¡¯t ept the fact that an immortality pill was going to be wasted on such a new disciple. This Long Yu offended Tan Jian, even if he could really advance to the Wudao fifthyer and somehow managed to beat Fang Kang, so what, would he not be killed by Tan Jian in the end? Then this Qing Hua Dan would simply go to waste. Moreover, there was no chance for Long Yu to defeat Fang Kang! The pretty Liao Lele stood in front of Long Yu. She was vignt and keeping a close eye on the surrounding people, to ensure that during the time allotted for the absorption of the immortality pill, he would not get attacked or disturbed by others. Actually, Liao Lele had seeded in obtaining her identity token ording to the terms of the bet with Feng Yang, and after obtaining her identity token, she didn¡¯t have anything to do with Long Yu¡¯s matters, but she just couldn¡¯t leave him alone like this. Even if he had an enemy like Tan Jian, she did not have the slightest flinch! As Qing Hua Dan went inside his stomach, Long Yu immediately felt that the drug began to scatter in his body. He did not hesitate to activate the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ in order to help him in absorbing the drug with greater speed. After all, the situation was urgent and Fang Kang had given him only an hour¡¯s time, he must absorb Qing Hua Danpletely within this time limit. ¡°Fortunately, the remnants of previously absorbed Yuyao Dan are still well preserved inside the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ and now after absorbing Qing Hua Dan, I will definitely be able to step into the Wudao fifthyer¡± Long Yu thought to himself then the Lingqi contained in Qing Hua Dan started to gradually transform into Xuan qi and began to get absorbed by his meridians. At this time, he found out that after achieving the beginner level of Demon tyrant form, now he could absorb immortality drug at a much faster speed. The fundamental reason behind it was his sturdier meridians that could now encounter much resistance when Xuan qi expanded throughout his body meridians. After half an hour, Long Yu¡¯s whole body¡¯s strength suddenly increased, and finally reached the limiting strength of 10,000 Jin of Wudao fourthyer and by this time, he had only absorbed 30 % Lingqi from the Qing Hua Dan. Then, the drug preserved in ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ began to spread throughout his body, allowing the Xuan qi to surge and circte rapidly inside his body meridians, causing an invisible whirlpool of airflow around his body. When people heard the sound of movements around Long Yu¡¯s body, a surprised look appeared in their eyes and they started to discuss among themselves. Could it be that this kid would manage to have a breakthrough after absorbing a Qing Hua Dan? If these people got to know that Long Yu recently stepped into the Wudao fourthyer then they would be extremely surprised. An hour¡¯s time quickly passed in the process of waiting. At thest minute, the Long Yu managed topletely absorb the drug essence preserved in ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ and his imposing aura suddenly changed. With a ¡°bo bo¡± sound like an explosion, it seemed like he was just reborn as a new person in front of everyone but much more stronger than before. ¡°Wudao fifthyer finally achieved.¡± Long Yu opened his eyes that were shining like the knife¡¯s edge. He finally reached the Wudao fifthyer that bestowed upon him the strength of 16000 Jin, and now his arbitrary punch could blow up a giant boulder and with just a grasp, he would be able to pull up ten feet high trees with ease! ¡°What? You actually managed to break through.¡± At that time, Fang Kang was sitting in a meditating pose at the side, and when he opened his eyes he saw Long Yu covered in a different imposing aura than earlier. Fang Kang certainly understood that Long Yu was now at the Wudao fifthyer. But even so, Fang Kang was not worried about anything as he was at Wudao sixthyer and possessed the strength of 32000 Jin, which was still two times than the strength of Long Yu, and moreover, he had practiced his martial skills to the Da Cheng realm, so there was no chance for Long Yu to be his match. Unfortunately, Feng Yang was unconscious at the moment otherwise he would have told Fang Kang that Long Yu¡¯s true strength was definitely not what it seemed on the surface¡­¡­ ¡°You broke through?¡± Liao Lele looked back and saw the change in the imposing aura of Long Yu, and was extremely happy, then jumped to the side and said: ¡°Show them what you got, don¡¯t lose.¡± Long Yu heard this and nodded, he certainly knew that this pretty girl had been guarding him for an hour when he was absorbing the Qing Hua Dan, and it somewhat touched his heart. Aftering to this world, besides Feng Longsong, no one else had made him feel so good in his heart, but today, Liao Lele¡¯s concern for his safety truly touched his heart. ¡°Now, you cannot make any other excuses to escape from me.¡± Fang Kang got up and walked towards Long Yu and with a teasing look on his face, he said: ¡°But as a senior, I will allow you to try three moves on me, otherwise people will say that I am bullying a junior.¡± ¡°Thank you senior brother.¡± Long Yu lightly smiled, but did not say anything, he was allowed to use three moves, so he would use only three moves to finish this battle. He just hoped that Fang Kang would note to regret thister! The next instant, Long Yu¡¯s figure appeared to have changed into a light breeze, and in a sh, he arrived in front of Fang Kang. ¡°The first move!¡± Long Yu quickly condensed the strength of 16000 Jin in his fist and threw it towards Fang Kang¡¯s head! ¡°Hmph.¡± Fang Kang saw this and sneered then raised his hand, condensed with the strength of 30,000 Jin, and immediately stopped Long Yu¡¯s fist. Long Yu¡¯s inner strength was too lesspared to his strength and it was obvious that a master at Wudao fourthyer wouldn¡¯tst 30 seconds in a battle against a master of Wudao sixthyer! ¡°The second move, Nine hidden Dragons Mark, activate!¡± Long Yu withdrew two steps back, a firm and resolute look appeared in his eyes, and once again rushed towards Fang Kang, with a strength of 26,000 Jin condensed in his fist, though still less than Fang Kang¡¯s strength, but was much stronger than the first punch! Using the ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯, Long Yu suddenly arrived near Fang Kang with an unparallel wind surrounding his fist, which clearly showed the tremendous strength present in his fist. ¡°What? Which martial skill can enhance your strength so much?¡± Fang Kang sensed the strength present in Long Yu¡¯s fist and was surprised, but still did not care. The muscles trembled and bulged out on his body and strength of 32,000 Jin condensed in his palm and shot out. With a ¡°pop¡± sound, Long Yu¡¯s fist was deflected. Their bodies brushed against each other and Fang Kang drew back few steps, but he was still unharmed. ¡°Next, the third move!¡± Long Yu¡¯s knife like cold gaze fell upon Fang Kang and his figure shed then suddenly disappeared from where he was standing. This time, it was not because he was fast, but because he had alreadyprehended the flickering wind step to the Da Cheng level, and now, he could cross thirty feet in a blink of an eye! ¡°Zhentian Mysterious mood!¡± The mysterious mood¡¯s forcepletely enveloped Fang Kang, although he reacted timely, but his body could not keep up with the speed of the mysterious mood. Long Yu¡¯s fist appeared to theteral side of Fang Kang, on his blind spot, and with all of the strength present in his body, he suddenly punched on the side of the Fang Kang¡¯s fragile waist. Fang Kang did not expect to be attacked from his blind spot and didn¡¯t get enough time to condense Xuan qi in his waist, and as Long Yu¡¯s fist rumbled and sted on his waist, he suddenly screamed and flew up like a broken kite then fell down on the ground upside down. During the time Long Yu started to make his three moves one after another, he urately observed and grasped the psychology of Fang Kang, and waited until thest move to suddenly use the Da Cheng level ¡®flickering wind step¡¯ to instantly approach Fang Kang from his blind spot for a sneak attack. Bang. Fang Kang¡¯s body fell on the ground and immediately lost consciousness. Long Yu punched on his defenseless waist, giving him heavier injuriespared to Feng Yang, and now he would have to lie in bed for several months. ¡°Da Cheng, Da Cheng ¡­¡­ Long Yu, how can you so quicklyprehend the flickering wind step to Da Cheng level?¡± Liao Lele waspletely shocked and could not help but asked aloud. Long Yu heard this, gently smiled, but did not exin. In fact, he absorbed Qing Hua Dan long before the allotted one hour time and used the time left toprehend the flickering wind step to Da Cheng level. During his fight with Feng Yang, he used flickering wind step in actualbat, plus he also got an insight into the Feng Yang¡¯s agility skill, ¡®The Shaking airw¡¯ practiced to the Da Cheng level, so he was able toprehend the Xuan qi cirction pattern for agility type martial skills and this helped him in quicklyprehending his own agility skill to Da Cheng level. With the effect of the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯, he could finallyprehend the flickers wind step to the Da Cheng level! The spectating disciples were silent and totally dumb stricken and staring towards the field where an inconceivable scene had unfolded itself. Fang Kang, a master at Wudao sixthyer master, who recently became an inner disciple, was beaten by a junior disciple who just joined the Sect two days ago. If they hadn¡¯t witnessed this with their own eyes, they would never believe it. But now, this fact was ced right in front of them, so they had no other choice but to believe it. Now, no one was looking at Long Yu with the same contemptuous disdain in their eyes, but it was rather a shocked look with a touch of admiration. In this world, people worshipped the strong, and Long Yu proved his strength through his own efforts. After he defeated Fang Kang, everyone started to look at him with admiration. Under the curtain of night, a silence was spread, and only the sound of the wind and dancing leaves was present in the surroundings. Until ¨C p! p! p! Suddenly, a series of ps came from the darkness and broke the silence under the dim lit curtain of night. Everyone, including Long Yu, looked towards the source of these ps. It turned out to be him? Feng Yun, the most talented and strongest member of the Feng n of Yu Guan City, a core disciple of Zhentian Sect, wearing white clothes and looked like an elegant gentleman, emerged from the darkness with a smile on his face and slowly walked towards Long Yu! Chapter 20 – Tyrannical Feng Yun Chapter ¨C 20 Tyrannical Feng Yun When that gentleman, dressed in white and with a smile on his handsome face, came into the field step by step, everyone was attracted to his elegant demeanor. Feng Yun was a core disciple of Zhentian Sect and almost everyone present there immediately recognized him. No one expected that Feng Yun had already been informed about this matter and they quickly realized that Long Yu was doomed tonight, because they knew about Feng Yun and Feng Yang being the members of the same n. Long Yu had severely injured Feng Yang and now that Feng Yun had arrived on the scene, he would certainly not forgive Long Yu! In the crowd, Tan Yue, lying on the stretcher, was carefully staring at Feng Yun and could not help but somewhat blushed. She certainly knew the status of Feng Yun. Tan Jian had told her that Feng Yun was one of the top ten core disciples of the Zhentian Sect. Moreover, he was quite handsome and was definitely going to be the head of Yu Guan City¡¯s Feng n someday. Now when she saw him in person, she immediately felt that what her brother said was not empty talk. Feng Yun was incredibly handsome and if she could somehow hook up with him then Tan n would certainly benefit from this¡­¡­ Tan Yue started cherishing her fond desires when a clear female voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts. ¡°This man is really handsome! Hey, Long Yu, do you know him? Does he apud for your win?¡¯¡¯ Liao Lele said while keeping a close eye on the handsome face of Feng Yun: ¡°You should introduce me to him got it, after all, I got you a Qing Hua Dan you know. You can at least do this much for me!¡± ¡°I¡¯d dly introduce you to him, but it¡¯s a pity that I¡¯m not familiar with him.¡¯¡¯ Long Yu faintly said and looked towards Feng Yun. Feng Yun had maintained a smile on his face throughout the time he walking towards Long Yu but when he heard these words, he chuckled loudly: ¡°Younger cousin, you actually say that we are not familiar with each other? Now don¡¯t you treat me like a stranger, and the way your cultivation grows so fast, it¡¯s an added surprise for your elder cousin.¡± He said and stood at least thirty feet away from Long Yu. He leaned his face to look at Feng Yang lying unconscious on the ground, and the smile gradually faded from his face. ¡°However, younger cousin, you have so severely beaten a brother from the same n. Didn¡¯t you once think that we are members of the same n and must lookout for each other? This sentence was full of killing intent and revealed the anger building up inside Feng Yun. He then gave a fierce look to Long Yu and the atmosphere in the field suddenly tensed up. ¡°This guy ¡­..hisplexion changes so fast, sometimes it¡¯s friendly then it bes hostile, like flipping the pages of a book ¡­¡­¡± Liao Lele naturally also felt the ill intent from this guy and her heart sank. Although, she did not know who Feng Yun was but listening to his words, she sensed the surrounding atmosphere suddenly tensing up, she immediately understood that this guy was rted to Feng Yang and was also much stronger than Fang Kang. At present, she only knew that this man was from Feng n and also seemed to be Long Yu¡¯s cousin. Regarding Long Yu¡¯s identity, it was crystal clear to everyone that he was the adopted son of the Lord of Feng n, so spectators didn¡¯t feel strange after hearing Feng Yun¡¯s words. They knew that right now, Long Yu was really in big trouble! ¡°Feng n?¡± Long Yu faced Feng Yun and while still maintaining his own imposing aura, he sneered and said: ¡°Give me one reason why I should lookout for the members of Feng n. Has Feng n ever paid attention to my problems except always looking down on me and calling me a waste?¡± ¡°You wasted one leg of my younger brother.¡± Feng Yun looked at him and faintly said. ¡°Changing the topic?¡± Long Yu smiled with a disdainful look in his eyes. Feng Yun entered the Zhentian Sect long ago and now he was already 24 or 25 years old, also, during thest year¡¯spetition held at the Feng n, he was at the Wudao seventhyer. Now that he had be one of the top 10 core disciples of the Zhentian Sect, he must have be a lot stronger than Feng Longsong! Long Yu tried to devise various strategies to tackle Feng Yun but he concluded that he absolutely had no chance of winning against Feng Yun, so he could only try to use words to get out of this mess. However, it didn¡¯t seem like Feng Yun was in a mood to listen anything. His white clothing lightly moved in the flowing breeze, and all of a sudden, he widened his eyes and said: ¡®¡¯who is right, who is wrong, I don¡¯t n to investigate about all that. However, you wasted a leg of my younger brother, so tonight I will take revenge for him.¡± As his voice fell, Long Yu suddenly felt a tyrannical aura along with a heavy pressureing down from the heaven and enveloped himpletely. This imposing aura, it was exactly the same as the Zhentian mysterious mood, and much stronger than his ownprehension of the mysterious mood, closer to the world principle of true suppression! Under the impact of this tyrannical aura, Long Yu¡¯s whole body waspletely unable to move and could only wait to be trampled upon! ¡°Is this the extent ofprehension of mysterious mood achieved by formidable core disciples? This is a kind of artificial knife like feeling which seems to be chopping down from above and I feel like a fish waiting to be chopped down by it.¡± Long Yu clenched his teeth but he quickly understood that this time, he had no room to resist! The condition of Liao Lele was also the same, and only in a moment, the beads of sweat appeared on both of their faces, obviously because of the terrifying heavy pressure. And at that time, standing thirty feet away from Long Yu, an overbearing smile appeared on Feng Yun¡¯s face and he raised his right hand and a heavy wave came out of it. ¡°Sky wave crosses.¡± As he said those words, a white light wave made up of Xuan qi came out of his right hand. Xuan qi external control! Long Yu¡¯s eyes were wide open and were staring at the white lighting towards him. It instantly crossed the distance of thirty feet and prated into his right leg. Boom! Blood spattered and Long Yu tightly clenched his teeth. He felt an intense pain transmitting from his right leg, and it seemed like he would faint from the pain. Feng Yun¡¯s strength was too terrifying. He just used his imposing aura and Long Yu was unable to move under its impact. And now, he used a martial skill that allowed him to shoot his Xuan qi and directly prated Long Yu¡¯s leg! But even so, Long Yu did not fall and kept his back straight while standing on his left leg. Looking at this scene, Liao Lele was visibly moved because Xuan qi had prated his right leg which must be causing an intense and unbearable pain in his right leg, but he was able to hold back this pain without uttering a single sound from his mouth, and the most important thing was that this guy¡¯s right leg had been wasted but he was still standing and didn¡¯t fall! Not just Liao Lele, even the other disciples looking at this scene, as well as Feng Yun was somewhat surprised. ¡°Your willpower and perseverance are good.¡± Feng Yun¡¯s whole body released out an overbearing imposing aura while he walked towards Long Yu: ¡®¡¯Next will be the revenge for my younger cousin, Feng Yang!¡± His vision shifted towards Long Yu¡¯s chest, and it was obvious that this was the ce where he was going to attack first. Perhaps he was not good at the external control of Xuan qi, so he walked towards Long Yu and came right in front him. ¡°Are you ready?¡± Feng Yun¡¯s eyes revealed a teasing look. Long Yu clenched his teeth, but didn¡¯t say a word and was actually thinking quickly in his heart. ¡°What are my options, excluding the sudden interference from the Martial Court elder, my only hope is this mysterious ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ printed on my chest. This Feng Yun seems to be eyeing my chest so he would most probably start from the chest. I¡¯d like to see which one of them is stronger, Feng Yun or the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯! ¡° Long Yu was facing a hopeless situation but was still keeping his calm and thinking. The Zhentian Sect didn¡¯t allow its disciples to kill each other in a fight, especially when a higher level disciple was fighting against a junior disciple, and in the current situation, Feng Yun certainly wouldn¡¯t dare to kill him in front of the Martial Court, due to the presence of Martial Court elder. However looking at the arrogant demeanor of Feng Yun, Long Yu was naturally not willing to give in. Long Yu puffed out his chest and stood proudly and unyielding in front of Feng Yun! ¡°Very interesting.¡± Feng Yun smiled with a look of disdain in eyes: ¡°You will forever remember the lesson you are going to receive from me tonight!¡± After saying these words, he finally prepared to begin and condensed the strength of 30,000 Jin on his palm and directly shot on Long Yu¡¯s chest. Bang! Apanied with a heavy thundering sound, when Feng Yun¡¯s palm shot on Long Yu¡¯s chest, a formidable Xuan qi immediately invaded his body! But right at this time, the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ on Long Yu¡¯s chest sensed the invasion of an external force and instantaneously activated. An ancient mystical force suddenly erupted from the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ and sted Feng Yun, whose body flew up like a ball. Hundreds of famous disciples of the Zhentian Sect suddenly widened their eyes in disbelief. They just could not believe what they saw. Feng Yun was one of the top ten core disciples of Zhentian Sect and his palm dashed against the so called ¡°waste¡±, Long Yun¡¯s chest, but it was him who was actually sted away! How was this possible? This was just like the story in which a pig ate the tiger. But if Long Yu was capable of such a feat then why didn¡¯t he use this secret move before his right leg was wasted by Feng Yun? The next moment, Feng Yang¡¯s body heavily fell on the ground and rolled on several times before stopping near the same spot where Feng Yang was lying unconscious. His white clothes werepletely soiled and he seemed in a miserable state. ¡°Keke ¡­¡­¡± Feng Yun coughed and looked towards Long Yu with his bloodshot eyes. He could not believe that Long Yu, the waste of his n, could actually st him away, although he didn¡¯t suffer any serious injuries, but he still lost face in front of everyone, and the most important thing was that he didn¡¯t know what actually happened to cause this! But he looked up and saw that Long Yu had already fallen down on the ground, and seemed to be in aatose state, and the girl d in grey clothes was anxiously shouting his name. ¡°Long Yu, Long Yu, are you okay?¡± Liao Lele was lying her head on Long Yu¡¯s chest and there was a panicked expression on her face. But, Long Yu was actually shut in his own mind and his whole body was motionless. It looked like he was in a deep sleep and both his breathing and heartbeat had stopped. Liao Lele thought that he was already dead. After all, the power of Feng Yun was too strong, and although she didn¡¯t know about the force that sted him away, but Long Yu was so heavily beaten up by his palm attack that severe injuries were inevitable. ¡°Give up Feng Yun!¡± At this time, everyone heard a hoarse voice and an old man dressed in ck robe appeared next to Long Yu. ¡°Elder Yu.¡± Seeing the elder, Feng Yun certainly knew that now he won¡¯t get an opportunity to finish Long Yu, but today, didn¡¯t he lose face in front of so many people? Also, how could Long Yu st him away, just what was the secret behind this? Unfortunately, the Martial Court elder appeared so now it would be impossible to find about this secret from Long Yu. He decided to put this n in motion at ater date. ¡°Feng Yun, even if you are a core disciple of my Zhentian Sect, but you cannot act without the regard for authority. Wudao doesn¡¯t have a peak, and looking at your talent, you must struggle and try to climb as far as you can, instead of clinging to personal enmity!¡± Elder Yu¡¯s hoarse voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the area and everyone heard it, making them realize of their true goal, reaching the peak of Wudao. Right, Wudao practice, a martial way without end, they just spent a whole day just to have a little fun, such a waste of time! ¡°The disciple understands his mistake so I will take my leave now.¡± Feng Yun said but was slightly unwilling to leave, looked deeply towards the unconscious Long Yu, then turned around to leave. At the instant he turned around, Feng Yun suddenly felt a burst of strange force emerging inside his body, and could not help but felt like throwing up blood, but in order to maintain his face, he restrained himself from throwing up. ¡°That is that strange force transferred from the body of that waste¡­.¡¯¡¯ Feng Yun¡¯s face sank and didn¡¯t dare to stay there for a long time and hastily left at a fast speed. When Feng Yun left in a hurry, the other people knew that the show was finally over and Elder Yu¡¯s words had also made them somewhat regret their action, so they soon went back to practice. ¡°Take him ande with me.¡± The hoarse voice of the ck robed elder entered Liao Lele¡¯s ears and she hastily nodded. ¡°Yes elder.¡± Although, Liao Lele was a girl, but she was at Wudao fourthyer and possessed the strength of 8000 Jin, so it was not a problem for her to carry Long Yu¡¯s body. The dim light of night filled the air, the stars shone in the sky. Elder Yu wearing a ck robe led the two towards the entrance of the Zhentian Sect, close to the Zhentian canyon. A good show seemed to have finally ended. However, no one actually knew that at present, Long Yu had fallen into the chaos of ancient memories. When the mysterious force of ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ suddenly erupted a moment ago, Long Yu finally got to know some of the secrets about it! Chapter 21 – Dragon Mark’s secrets Chapter ¨C 21 Dragon Mark¡¯s secrets There was a stretch of vast deste and chaotic world, the ground was burning continuously and a major section of earth had already copsed. The destructive forces were flooding throughout the entire space. During the ancient ages, mes of war were spread throughout the ¡®Divine Martial world¡¯. Long Yu felt that right now, he was inside this ancient and boundless world. ¡°Divine Martial world, this is actually the Divine Martial world, how in the hell did I end up here, this world should have existed in the ancient ages¡­¡­¡± Long Yu opened his eyes but regardless of that, he felt that he couldn¡¯t clearly see the scene present in front his eyes. He quickly realized that it was only a memory, and perhaps, a section of memories stored in ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ had transferred into his mind. This world was extremely broad, and initially, Long Yu only got to see all kinds of destructive forces raging the whole world into ruins and discovered that living creatures didn¡¯t exist in this world at this point of time. He didn¡¯t know for how long he continued to look at the same deste and ruined world, when suddenly in the distant sky, a ck ripple gradually spread out, and quickly erged in front of his eyes. It was actually a ck colossus flying in his direction from the horizon. Although he couldn¡¯t clearly see its whole body, but he clearly knew what this thing actually was. ¡°Nine hidden Dragon!¡± Long Yu was anxiously looking and only saw the shadow of that gigantic ¡®Nine hidden Dragon¡¯ blotting the sky. Wherever the dragon was flying over to, the ck ripplesing out of its body were proliferating through the space and causing massive destruction. The destructive level of its formidable strength present in these ck ripples was so high that the space wasn¡¯t able to maintain itself and was torn apart wherever the ck ripples appeared. It was obvious that he was the only supreme ruler of this world! Like an emperor watching over the world from above, the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon¡¯ would fly all over, while igniting the space with its ck mes which looked like blossoming ck lotuses and continued to burn in this world without extinguishing. ¡®Nine hidden Dragon¡¯ was hovering high in the sky, and it seemed as if the entire world was enveloped with dark clouds, but suddenly, a divine light descended from heaven and with a loud bang, it fell on top of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon¡¯! As the divine light descended from heaven, it seemed as if both time and space hade to a standstill, not even the formidable ¡®Nine hidden Dragon¡¯ was able to resist it! Finally, Nine hidden Dragon, who was the Emperor Dragon of this world, suffered the punishment from divine light and plunged into the depths of ¡®Divine Martial world¡¯ and was permanently sealed¡­¡­ ¡­¡­ Long Yu didn¡¯t know how many years passed before the vitality came into existence in this ¡®Divine Martial world¡¯. All this time, Long Yu had always been floating above the ce where the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon¡¯ fell and was sealed, and after experiencing innumerable years, a towering mountain formed at the same ce. The remnants of the power of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon¡¯ were spread on this mountain in the form of mysterious ck lines printed all over the mountain. The habitation gradually began on the mountain and a tribe finally formed and started living on it. The people of this tribe referred to themselves as ¡°Descendants of the Dragon¡±! Because, those ck dragon lines granted formidable strength to the members of this tribe, and so long as the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ was carved on the chest, they were able to borrow the mysterious strength of ancient ¡®Nine hidden Dragon¡¯ sealed under the mountain. The people of this tribe didn¡¯t know why they could borrow the strength of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon¡¯, but they lived in martial world where only those with formidable strength could survive and establish themselves. So, gradually, nobody in the whole tribe tried to explore the reasons and continued to carve the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ on their chests and it became their most ancient traditional custom. Gradually, ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ became just an ordinary dragon-shaped mark carved on the chests of the members of this tribe. This dragon-shaped mark had nine majoryer changes and with each major change, it could enhance the might ten times. During its firstyer change, the dragon-shaped mark awakened the strength of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯! ¡°So that¡¯s how it is, at the Wudao fourthyer, the mark shows a significant change and once activated, it will be able to enhance the strength by 10,000 Jin¡­¡­ But the next major change will ur at the Wudao eighthyer, and with the activation of mark, it will be able to enhance my strength by 100,000 Jin, and then, I will also be able to use the martial skills of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯, it¡¯s really so incredible!¡± Long Yu carefully observed the everyday life of the members of that tribe, and quickly figured out some of the growth patterns of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯. However any memories rted to the Wudao eightyer or above were still blurred and Long Yu couldn¡¯t see them clearly, and this was apparently because his current cultivation was low and he couldn¡¯t look into the depths of memories rted to higher levels. After looking at these memories, Long Yu understood that his decision to choose a body refining type martial skill was correct. Because the people in this tribe, in order to allow the body to withstand the formidable strength granted by the mark, grew up practicing body refining type martial skills, making their bodies tough like steel, so tough that even water and fire couldn¡¯t invade their bodies! After arriving far inside the memories, they gradually blurred at this point. Long Yu took a peek into some of the secrets of the mark, however, even bigger doubts took birth in his heart. The tribal people called themselves ¡°descendents of the Dragon¡±, but was this somehow rted to his past life? The ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ was carved on the other Long Yu¡¯s body only after dying, when he came to this world? There were many questions but he was far from obtaining any exnation from these memories! The fuzzy memories gradually started to fade, but at thest moment, Long Yu saw a beautiful woman, d in white elegant clothes, but her noble figure seemed unreal and fuzzy. This beautiful woman was looking at him from a very distant ce, but he couldn¡¯t see her body clearly, he just saw a pair of beautiful and mirror-like eyes, while her two white hands seemed to be gradually withdrawing from Long Yu¡¯s chest ¡°Yu Fei, Yu Fei ¡­¡­¡± These words suddenly appeared in his heart as ifing straight from the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯. ¡°Did this woman named Yu Fei engrave ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ on my chest? But, who is she? Why must she carve the mark on my chest¡­¡­¡± The scene gradually blurred in front of his eyes and aplete darkness spread everywhere. Whether it was the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯, the tribe of ¡®descendants of the Dragon¡¯ or that beautiful woman named Yu Fei, all vanished without a trace as if they never appeared in front of his eyes. Suddenly, Long Yu opened his eyes. ¡°You are awake!¡± A crisp female voice suddenly resounded as if startled by Long Yu. Long Yu listened to this voice and quickly remembered that the voice belonged to the pretty Liao Lele. He gave a closer look and found himself lying on a bamboo bed, while Liao Lele was twisting a towel and seemed to be wiping his body. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Long Yu gave a wary look to Liao Lele. ¡°You say what I¡¯m doing?¡± Liao Lele saw the vignt look in Long Yu¡¯s eyes and stared at him and said: ¡®¡¯Your right leg was seriously injured by Feng Yun¡¯s move, and we used the wonderful medicine of old white to cure your injuries and I was attending to you day and night, otherwise you would have lost your this leg!¡¯¡¯ Long Yu discovered that she was wiping the wounds on his knee area and also noticed that those wounds had almost healed. He raised his head and looked around and found that he was in a bamboo room with a quiet and beautiful environment, but he didn¡¯t know where exactly he was at the moment. ¡°Where am I?¡± Long Yu asked aloud. ¡°This is the dwelling ce of old white and old ck, located at the top of Zhentian canyon.¡± Liao Lele replied in a casual manner. ¡°Old white and old ck?¡± Long Yu had some doubts. He clearly remembered that when he fainted near the entrance of Martial Court, he vaguely heard Feng Yun calling the name of ¡°Elder Yu¡±, so why was he now at the dwelling ce of old white and old ck? ¡°The guardian elders of Zhentian Sect are good friends with the Martial Court¡¯s Elder Yu.¡± Liao Lele exined to him. Long Yu heard this and nodded then he seemed to have remembered something and asked: ¡°How long was I unconscious for?¡± ¡°Two weeks and I even thought that you are dead.¡± Liao Lele snorted loudly. Although, her tone was rough, but Long Yu actually felt a sense of care and worry in her voice, which arose a warm feeling in his heart, he smiled but did not say anything. He sat up and found that his body had no difort, but since he was unconscious and lying down in bed for two weeks, he felt slightly weak. The deep injury caused in his right leg by Feng Yun¡¯s attack had almost healed and there should be no impediment to his movements. ¡°I must inform the elders that you woke up.¡± Liao Lele said to Long Yu, then stood up, turned around, and walked out of the bamboo room. At that time, Long Yu slightly moved his body and wanted to stretch his body, but suddenly discovered that the clothes on his body had been changed, and froze on the spot. ¡°Who changed my clothes? Old white and old ck? There¡¯s a high possibility that they changed my clothes, or perhaps¡­¡­¡± Liao Lele? Not good, he must find out who changed his clothes! However, no matter who changed his clothes, didn¡¯t it mean that his ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ had been discovered? While he was still thinking, the bamboo door was pushed open, and an old man dressed in white came inside the room. Liao Lele followed behind the old man, but she didn¡¯t enter the room, just made faces at Long Yu then shut the door. Now, only Long Yu and the old man in white were present inside the room. ¡°Long Yu, you finally woke up.¡± The old man walked towards Long Yu without making a sound. There was a kind smile on his face when looking at Long Yu as if he was looking at a good friend, and there wasn¡¯t the slightest hesitation in his attitude towards Long Yu. ¡°You can call me old white.¡± The old man in white said and stood firmly beside Long Yu and suddenly looked at his chest area. Long Yu was startled and thought that the secret of his ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ was really discovered by old white. However, the old man didn¡¯t inquire about it and said with a kind smile on his face: ¡°In order to cure your leg, I used a reincarnation pill, it¡¯s a top grade immortality drug, and besides me, no one else inside the Zhentian Sect has the authority to ess it.¡± ¡°Thank you elder.¡± Long Yu was undoubtedly very grateful to him, but he still wondered, why this old man would be willing to spend a precious immortality drug to save his leg, was it because old white discovered his talent or did he want to ept Long Yu as his direct disciple? While he was still thinking, old white said with a calm smile on his face: ¡°Boy, you don¡¯t misunderstand my actions. I saved you not because of any selfish motive, in fact it has nothing to do with you, I did it because of your father.¡± ¡°My father?¡± Long Yu heard it and was surprised for a moment. So old white saved him just because he knew his father? No, it could not be just that, there was definitely a deeper rtionship between his father and old white otherwise it was impossible for old white to spend a top grade immortality drug for an ordinary friend¡¯s son. Top grade immortality drug, it was almost much precious than a high grade immortality drug, no need to say how precious it actually was! Long Yu suddenly remembered that beforeing to Zhentian Sect, his foster father, Feng Longsong, said to him that there was an old friend of his father in Zhentian Sect. Could it be that old white was that friend? ¡°But about your father, I do not have much to say.¡± Old white nced at Long Yu¡¯s chest and said: ¡°The dragon-shaped mark on your chest, I think it should be your father who carved it on your chest. Although I do not know what it actually is but I must say that your future achievements will not be small. When you be strong enough, you will naturallye to know about your father.¡± Long Yu nodded and mused in his heart, although he never got to know his father but he was sure that his father was definitely not the one who imprinted the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ on his chest. Because, he clearly remembered that this dragon-shaped mark was not on his chest before crossing over to this world, so it was obvious that he got this mark aftering to this world and could be the result produced during his crossing. Moreover, in the fuzzy ancient memories of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯, he saw that it was actually a beautiful woman who carved the mark on his chest whose name seemed to be ¡°Yu Fei¡±, and he didn¡¯t know why, but he seemed to have an intuition that this Yu Fei was absolutely not one of his rtives from this lifetime. Certainly, old white made an assumption and automatically linked his ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ with his father. But it was actually good that he made an assumption, because now, Long Yu could avoid telling him about the bigger secrets of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯. Long Yu was sure that old white actually didn¡¯t know about Yu Fei, descendants of dragon tribe and the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon¡¯. ¡°But kid, you really had it rough this time.¡± Old White changed the subject, suddenly smiled and said: ¡°Do you know the present condition of Feng Yun?¡± ¡°What happened to him?¡± Long Yu said in a surprised manner because he really did not know what happened to Feng Yun. Just because of this Feng Yun, he was unconscious for two weeks and almost lost his leg, so when old white mentioned about his present condition, he got curious and really wanted to know what happened to Feng Yun after he was sted away, because Long Yu had fainted right at that very instant! Chapter 22 – Abyss of Teng snakes Chapter ¨C 22 Abyss of Teng snakes Looking at the curious look on Long Yu¡¯s face, old white chuckled, and stroked his white beard and said: ¡°Feng Yun is a genius of our Zhentian Sect, and is also one of the top ten core disciples, currently at Wudao eighthyer, but thanks to your father¡¯s blessings, now he would have to spend two months in rest to recuperate.¡¯¡¯ Old white still attributed Long Yu¡¯s dragon mark¡¯s power by linking it to his father, but Long Yu didn¡¯t argue with him, only felt somewhat strange and said: ¡®¡¯Recuperate? ¡°Yes.¡± Old white faintly smiled and said: ¡°He would have to take rest for two months to heal his injuries. I think that when he shot his palm on your chest, he received a tremendous vibrating shock instead from your inner strength. We were shocked because you are at only at the trivial Wudao fifthyer, so how could your body produce such a powerful shaking force to be able to st him away, but after knowing your father¡¯s identity, it¡¯s understandable and it surely was not idental. Next morning, that fellow finally realized the inner injuries he got from the strange force which transferred from your body to his.¡¯¡¯ Long Yu finally knew that when Feng Yun¡¯s palm fiercely pounded on his chest, the ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯ must have automatically activated and the mysterious force must have given him internal injuries when he was sted away and now he would have to rest and recuperate for two months. It seemed that he was heavily injured! ¡°Later if I encounter a dangerous situation, then I can attract the opposite party to attack the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯, but the news about my fight with Feng Yun must have spread, so it would be tough to swindle my opponents who are already aware of this¡­¡­¡¯¡¯ Long Yu thought to himself then felt his own strength and discovered that he was still at the Wudao fifthyer with strength of 16,000 Jin, and the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ could still enhance his strength by 10,000 Jin. So, basically nothing had actually changed in his body during the time he was unconscious. ¡°Kid, right now you are at the Wudao fifthyer, there¡¯s half a month¡¯s time left for the start of thepetition at Royal Ancient Ginseng forest. If you can step into Wudao sixthyer during this time, then you can qualify to represent our Zhentian Sect in thispetition.¡¯¡¯ Old white suddenly said and looked at Long Yu with a look of anticipation in his eyes. ¡°Royal Ancient Ginseng forest?¡± Long Yu had certain doubts because he never heard about this matter before. ¡°There are seven major sects in the Tang State, but all of these seven sectse under the jurisdiction of the Tang Emperor¡¯s royal n.¡¯¡¯ Old white exined: ¡°Royal Ancient Ginseng forest was actually prepared by the royal n of Tang State where many wild ancient ginsengs grow in abundance. When consumed, it can enhance the cultivation level of the practitioner and since ancient ginseng is of high quality, its effects can bepared to some high grade immortality drugs! Every year, Tang State¡¯s royal n invites the sevenrge Sects to participate in thepetition, and this year, it¡¯s the turn of the disciples of our Zhentian Sect, Hanbing Sect, Qiansi Sect and some other small ns to participate in thepetition.¡¯¡¯ Hanbing Sect! Long Yu heard and a cold look shed in his eyes. Wasn¡¯t that Feng Yao a disciple of Hanbing Sect? Of course, Feng Yao was at the Wudao seventh level, but at the current strength of Long Yu, she was no longer as unattainable as she used to be! ¡°Feng Yao, you wanted to kill me, I will settle the ount with you sooner orter!¡± After knowing about this, he certainly would not miss this opportunity to participate in thepetition. Then old white exined about the matters rted to the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest. Each time, only three major sects and some other ns participated in thepetition and the participants must be below 20 years old and must also have the cultivation of at least Wudao sixthyer in order to be eligible to participate in thispetition. This year, Zhentian Sect would be participating and there were originally 16 people who were eligible to participate in thepetition. Fang Kang was one of the eligible disciples but since he was severely injured, now only 15 disciples were going to represent Zhentian Sect in thepetition. If Long Yu could reach the Wudao sixthyer within two weeks, then he would be able to take Fang Kang¡¯s ce and participate in thepetition. Moreover, a total of fifty disciples were going to participate adding all the participants from Zhentian Sect, Hanbing Sect and Qiansi Sect. In the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, the ancient ginsengs were divided into three grades namely high grade, middle grade and low grade. Every year only three high grade ancient ginsengs were prepared as reward and fifty geniusespeted for them! In addition, every few years, the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest might present some top grade ancient ginsengs, and their effects were better than high-grade ancient ginsengs. If a martial cultivator absorbed the Lingqi present in a top grade ancient ginseng then the result would easily beparable to two or three years of torturous cultivation. If a top grade ancient ginseng appeared as the reward in thepetition then the winner would get his cultivation level increased directly to the nextyer! Certainly, if the cultivator was at a bottleneck then it would not be easy to have a breakthrough, for example while stepping from Wudao sixthyer to Wudao seventhyer which needed to bring out Xuan qi out of the body, making it a major bottleneck, and ordinary warriors needed to spend a lot of time to achieve this. As for the top grade ancient ginseng, it was the best quality ancient ginseng, but it rarely grew in the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, and if appeared, then each time, it was generally taken by the people of Tang royal n, and not once was it obtained by the disciples of sevenrge Sects or other ns. ¡°Kid, you need to reach the Wudao sixthyer, I may not be able to help you with this but I can give you a clue.¡± After the old white finished exining about the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, he immediately said: ¡°Many Teng snake demon beasts dwell in the abyss of Zhentian mountain forest. The experienced outer disciples go to the abyss to hunt Teng snakes, and the effect is good, if you are able to kill a Teng snake and obtain its neidan, then after consuming it, the enhancement in cultivation will not be inferior to the enhancement gained from a middle grade immortality drug. Even if you manage to collect some spirit grass, you can directly consume it or make immortality drug out of it which can also help in considerably increasing your cultivation level.¡± Spirit grass, immortality drug or demon beast neidan could enhance the cultivation of the martial cultivator but it gave the best results only for the first time. If the same thing was consumed again then it won¡¯t have much enhancement effect on the cultivation. So, the outer disciples would go to the abyss of Teng snakes in order to find and behead at least one Teng snake and obtain its neidan. ¡°I know, thank you senior.¡± Long Yu smiled and said. He decided that he would definitely go to the abyss of Teng snakes and kill one to obtain its neidan. Depending on his absorbing capacity granted by the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ which simply went against the heaven¡¯s will, if he managed to get a neidan then it would certainly enhance his cultivation by arge portion, even if it failed to help him in reaching the Wudao sixthyer in one shot. Ultimately, he would get closer to the Wudao sixthyer. Due to the time constraints, Long Yu didn¡¯t say anything to old white. Long Yu tidied up and decided to leave. ¡­¡­ Liao Lele came out to see off Long Yu. Outside the bamboo house, not far away, above the butte, there was a alcove, where at that time, old white and an another man d in ck robe were engaged in ying chess and didn¡¯t pay any attention to these two young disciples. On the fork in the mountain road descending the mountain, Liao Lele stopped. ¡°Take this path and go all the way to reach the abyss of Teng snakes. Be careful ok?¡¯¡¯ Liao Lele had taken care of Long Yu for two weeks, and right now, she was quite reluctant to part with him. ¡°Aren¡¯t youing with me?¡± Long Yu asked. ¡°No, old white has received me as his disciple, and temporarily I am busy with my daily practice, moreover my cultivation level is also low, if I went to the abyss of Teng snakes, I will definitely end up dragging you behind.¡± Liao Lele said but it was obvious from the look on her face that she wanted to apany him. Long Yu suddenly thought, so that¡¯s how it was, this girl was received as a disciple by old white, but this was a golden chance for her. Just from looking once, one could say that the cultivation of old white was very profound and might have gone beyond the level of Wudao ninthyer and reached another realm. She had been epted as old white¡¯s apprentice and it could be said that she now had a backing in Zhentian Sect, at least she would no longer be bullied by that ¡°fat pig¡± Feng Yang. Long Yu turned around and was ready to descend the mountain, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and asked without looking back: ¡°For these two weeks, were you the one changing my clothes?¡± ¡°Right.¡¯¡¯ Liao Lele¡¯s crisp voice came from behind him. ¡°Did you see it?¡± Long Yu asked without looking back. ¡°Of course.¡± Liao Lele answered again. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Long Yu didn¡¯t say anything, and marching at a great pace, he quickly went down the mountain and disappeared from the sight of Liao Lele. ¡°Hmph, so what I saw? Merely the tip, but it gained mass when it straightened up.¡± Liao Lele rearranged her hair which was being blown by the breeze, and her face had turned somewhat red. She stood there for a long time, until she made sure that Long Yu was really noting back, and with a feeling of somewhat dismay in her heart, she turned back. Long Yu didn¡¯t turn back to look at Liao Lele so naturally he didn¡¯t know about her reaction at that time. At this moment, his mind waspletely focused on enhancing his cultivation level. He would definitely go to the abyss of Teng snakes and if his luck was good and he managed to kill a Teng snake, then its neidan would certainly enhance his cultivation, but whether he would be able to reach the Wudao sixthyer depended on the quality of neidan which in turn depended on the strength level of the Teng snake. ¡°Only half a month¡¯s time is left and I don¡¯t seem to have any other ways of enhancing my cultivation faster¡­.fine, I will first go to the abyss of Teng snakes.¡± Long Yu made the decision and quickly moved along the mountain road towards the forest in the direction of the abyss of Teng snakes. Zhentian mountain sierra stretched far and wide and even from the peak of the Zhentian canyon, it was hard to see the end of these mountains ranges. The abyss of Teng snakes was located approximately 40 miles away from the Zhentian Sect¡¯s entrance. Long Yu rushed all the way using ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯ and asionally came across twelve groups of outer disciples going together in groups for hunting Teng snake in the abyss, but nobody greeted him, neither did he greet them, and they all respectively walked their own ways. After only half an hour, the abyss of Teng snakes appeared in front of Long Yu. The Zhentian mountain forest was vast and extremely dense because of the presence of verdant and luxuriant trees that didn¡¯t allow the sun rays to prate and reach inside. Even the outer disciples of Zhentian Sect only dared to roam on its periphery, because if they went deeper, then they would most likely bump into a formidable demon beast and lose their lives. ¡°I just hope that today I manage to quickly find a Teng snake.¡± Long Yu hoped as he stepped into the abyss of Teng snakes. Ordinary Teng snakes found in the abyss were demon beasts with their strengths equivalent to the strength of a person at Wudao fifthyer and it would be easy for Long Yu to kill a Teng snake of such strength level. After entering deep into the abyss of Teng snakes, Long Yu¡¯s field vision dropped a lot. In such a dense and dark forest, one could only rely on sense of hearing, smell, and one¡¯s intuition! Besides Teng snakes, it was possible that he might encounter many other demon beasts in the forest. Moreover there were many poisonous vines present in the abyss of Teng snakes, and though they were not fatal, but often caused great trouble for the cultivator who got trapped in them. For example, when Long Yu was passing through a ce sometime ago, he saw some densely crowded vines in which some of the outer disciples were entangled, and they were trying their best to get out of them, but the only way to get out was topletely clean up these vines which was going to waste a lot of time. Long Yu decided to move forward without paying attention to them, and depending upon his own keen intuition, he rapidly went deeper into the abyss of Teng snakes. After he went about 10 miles deep into the forests, his keen intuition suddenly caught a trace of bloody aura, and he concentrated his attention entirely on it. Bloody aura, there were signs of ughter everywhere! His heart began to ¡°thump¡± rapidly, and he cautiously went towards the ce where the bloody aura was transmitting from, in a while, he faintly heard some people crying for help. ¡± Teng snake king, it¡¯s the Teng snake king, help us, help!¡± ¡°Sister Qin, do not leave me ¨C ah!¡± Pitiful screams, cries for help, resounded one after another in the abyss. Long Yu secretly approached and quietly took a look at the situation. There, he saw a huge shadow swallowing a blue-robed outer disciple! Chapter 23 – fierce combat with the snake king Chapter ¨C 23 fiercebat with the snake king Not long ago, this outer disciple of the Zhentian Sect was alive and kicking, but now he actually became the food inside the belly of this colossus beast, not even a little residue was left of his body. On the side, besides being extremely cautious, Long Yu was keeping a closer look at the monster, and was surprised at its huge size, just like a cobra erged by several times. The entire body of the beast was dark, almost 100 feet long, and whenever it raised its head above the ground, it reached a height of thirty feet, quite ferocious. However, on its head, there were no eyes and nose, it only had a giant mouth from which venom was dripping, and it was this giant mouth that had swallowed an outer disciple a moment ago! This was the Teng snake King. ¡°Teng snake King, not only its strength isparable to the strength of a warrior at Wudao seventhyer, but also contains highly toxic venom, its body has rough skin and flesh, seems to be very difficult to deal with.¡± An excited look shed in Long Yu¡¯s eyes: ¡°If I can kill it and obtain its neidan then it will definitely help me in reaching the Wudao sixthyer in one fell swoop!¡¯¡¯ Teng snake King possessed the strength of 50,000 Jin to 60,000 Jin, and with this much strength, a casual swing of its tail could easily lead to Long Yu¡¯s death. In a direct fight, Long Yu was definitely not its opponent. So, he would have to find some other ways to deal with the monster. Long Yu carefully observed the surroundings and quietly began to take action. Besides Teng snake King, in the field, there were four other outer disciples of Zhentian Sect, all wearing blue clothes. Very scared of the Teng snake King, all of them looked panic stricken, and were running away from the spot as soon as possible. A woman was running at the fastest speed, and it seemed that she was the so-called Sister Qin, but the speed of Teng snake King was faster than her. The ck colossus was quickly going through the forest, and swept its tail directly hitting the slowest of the outer disciples, and it was so forcefully hit that he flew up and heavily crashed into a towering giant tree, then fell on the ground, and instantly met his death. In the next moment, Teng snake King turned around and quickly sprayed its toxic venom on another outer disciple, and his body immediately started to rot, while he was incessantly screaming rolling on the ground. ¡°Sister Qin! Sister Qin!¡± The remainingst person running right behind Sister Qin was frightened and shouting in panic, as if this Sister Qin could save him. ¡°You stay here and try to stop it, my elder brother can arrive at any moment!¡± Sister Qin was simrly in panic and was desperate to escape quickly, as she knew very well that a quick escape was the only way to save life in such a situation, so how could she dare to stop? ¡°Stop it?¡± The man almost despaired after he heard her. She wanted him to stop the Teng snake King? Confronted with the terrifying Teng snake King, just how could he possibly stay and stop it? For stopping it, won¡¯t he have to rely on his petty strength of Wudao fifthyer? His strength was not even enough to stop the beast¡¯s tail! ¡°The Shaking airw!¡¯¡¯ The man used an agility type martial skill with full force, but he had recently entered the Sect and had only practiced the shaking airw to the Xiao Cheng level. Moreover, even if he had practiced the shaking airw to the Da Cheng level, then also it was impossible to rely on the air ripples to hinder Teng snake king¡¯s action, because the power gap was too great between the two sides. Even if he was running at full speed, his speed was nothingpared to the Teng snake King¡¯s chasing speed. After a moment, the huge body of Teng snake King directly came over the body of that outer disciple and swallowed himpletely, then opened itsrge mouth, and with a loud roar it instantly advanced towards Sister Qin! ¡°Do note, do note any closer, my elder brother is at the Wudao seventhyer, if you dare to touch me, my brother will not let you off!¡± At that time, Sister Qin said sweetly and charmingly, but she was extremely frightened on the inside, her face was full of panic expression expecting the Teng snake King to note near her, and the only thing that came in her mind was to threaten the Teng snake King with her brother¡¯s identity. Unfortunately, why would Teng snake King care about her empty threat? Teng snake King advanced to kill its final prey, Sister Qin, and it directly swept its tail and struck down an old thick tree. A loud thunder-like sound spread in the surroundings, and the tree fell right in front of Sister and blocked her escape route, and a sharp thorny branch of the falling tree directly pierced her white thigh, and she immediately fell down on the ground with a severe pain in her thigh. ¡°Hu Chi ¡­¡­¡± Teng snake King¡¯srge mouth spurted foul odor and it quickly dragged its huge body towards Sister Qin and soon approached her, it seemed that it could kill her any moment. However, at this time, a heavy boulder arrived from a distant ce towards the head of Teng snake King! The size of the boulder was same as the size of Wang Ten snake¡¯s head. It weighed 10,000 Jin and came straight through the forest and pounded directly on its head generating a heavy sound and threw down its body on the ground. But immediately, Teng snake King jolted its head powerfully and shot the boulder to fly in the air, and it fell on the ground a bit far away. Teng snake King opened itsrge mouth and turned its head towards the direction from where the heavy boulder was thrown at it. It was actually Long Yu, standing at a distance of thirty feet away from the Teng snake King, still maintaining the throwing pose after throwing the boulder. His strength of throwing the boulders with strength of 10,000 Jin could be regarded as good at his current strength. ¡°After all, this person is a disciple of Zhentian Sect, at least I should try and rescue a disciple if I can, but if she ends up dying then that¡¯s her fate, it can only be a pity¡­¡­..¡± Long Yu thought while calmly observing the movements of Teng snake King. ¡°Hu Chi!¡± When Teng snake King was pounded by the heavy boulder, it became extremely angry, and suddenly abandoned the nearby Sister Qin and rushed in the direction where Long Yu was standing. Although, Sister Qin was extremely frightened and panting, but when she saw that Teng snake King turned towards a different direction leaving her, then she heaved a sigh of relief. She wanted to escape and tried to get up, but as her thigh was pierced by a sharp thorny tree branch and blood was profuselying out, so she couldn¡¯t stand up, and could only curse her fate¡­¡­ Faced with the angry Teng snake King rushing towards him at a very high speed, he immediately disyed ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯ and hastily retreated. Although Long Yu was using ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯ which he had already practiced to the Da Cheng level, but his speed was still inferior to Teng snake King¡¯s speed, but he didn¡¯t want to escape rather he had already nned to lead Teng snake King into a trap! After a short time, the distance between Teng snake King and Long Yu remained only twenty feet, but at this time, Teng snake King suddenly felt that its body was caught in a long vine. Immediately, Teng snake King wanted to rip apart that long vine, but it never thought that in doing so, it would end up rming a neighboringrge vine. Only after a moment, one after another, sturdy vines suddenly raided Teng snake King¡¯s body and twined its whole body tightly. The sharp thorns were protruding and spread all over these vines and began to pierce into its skin one by one and started sucking its flesh and blood. ¡°These vines are a specific type of vegetation found in the abyss and possess natural wisdom, needless to say that Teng snakes are their natural preys, and these vines like to eat Teng snakes.¡± Long Yu remembered the information pertaining to vines present in his mind when he had heard about it from Liao Lele, and could not help but feel that this girl was quite an attentive person. She had already looked up such valuable information regarding vines. If a martial cultivator got entangled in such vines, it won¡¯t only lead to a waste of time and nothing serious. But, if a Teng snake got entangled in the vines, then due to its sheer huge size, it will keep getting entangled in the vines until all of its flesh and blood had been sucked dry by the vines! Teng snake King despised Long Yu. It never expected that it would end up falling into Long Yu¡¯s trap. It was careless and identally fell into such a hopeless situation. ¡°Hu Chi!¡± Teng snake King opened its giant mouth, and was constantly blowing out venom on the vines, but the poison had no effect on its natural enemy. The best it could do was to use its poison to temporarily block the vines from twining around its body, but after some time, more vines would once again quickly start to entangle its body. Teng snake King was huge inparison to these vines, and its power was also far beyond the strength of these vines. Teng snake King started tearing the vines wrapped around it with a force of 50,000-60,000 Jin and many vines were torn apart and fell down from its body. However, the vines around here were numerous in number. Although, Teng snake King continued to tear the vines with its great strength, but as it was tearing more and more vines, more and more wounds started to appear on its body, and as time passed, its strength decreased considerably. Teng snake King and vines were both extremely powerful, rolling and winding against each other, the old and sturdy trees in the nearby area were all destroyed, making a stretch of open area in this dense forest. Long Yu was hiding on the side, silently observing the fierce struggle of Teng snake King in the field, and after approximately the burning time of two sticks of incense, Teng snake King¡¯s strength seemed to have beenpletely depleted, it stopped struggling and its heavy body fell on the ground and stopped moving. Surrounding his body, countless sharp thorn vines were scattered on the ground and seemed to have beenpletely torn apart by the terrifying strength of Teng snake King. Apparently, it was the situation of no side wins. Long Yu cautiously walked towards the giant body of Teng snake King. Soon, he was only 30 feet away from Teng snake King. ¡°Hu Chi!¡± Suddenly, Teng snake King¡¯s body somersaulted into the sky, and moving its giant mouth, it sprayed strong venom towards Long Yu. So it turned out to be a surprise attack! If Long Yu didn¡¯t dodge this surprise attack and its venom would naturally kill him, then Teng snake King would have been the final winner. However, Long Yu had always maintained a high degree of vignce, and efforts of Teng snake King were all in vain. As the Teng snake King spurted the venom, Long Yu¡¯s figure immediately dodged. ¡°Flickering wind step!¡± When a cultivator practiced ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯ to the Da Cheng level, he could cross a distance of thirty feet in a blink of an eye, so the very next instant, Long Yu¡¯s figure appeared close to Teng snake King¡¯s belly! ¡°Give me your neidan!¡± Long Yu shouted, and took the opportunity to pull up two sharp thorn vines from the ground with both hands to use them as a whip and flung the vines towards the abdomen of Teng snake King! Chi! Although sharp thorn vines had been snapped and lost life, but the sharp thorns on its surface still maintained their strong and sharp offensive strength. All of a sudden, the wound on the abdomen of Teng snake King began to expand. At the same time, Long Yu was clutching sharp thorn vines in his hands, and his hands were also punctured by the sharp thorns, causing the blood to drip continuously and the intense pain almost made him to let go of the vines. However he knew very well that if he wanted to beat Teng snake King, he would have to bear this pain, because right now, besides using these sharp thorn vines, he did not have any other means to cut open the tough skin on the abdomen of Teng snake King. He clenched his teeth and made an effort to pull taut the two sharp thorn vines, like using sword right transversely on the abdomen of Teng snake king. ¡°Hu Chi!¡± Teng snake King roared fiercely and arge wound was cut open on its abdomen. Long Yu quickly found and dug out the neidan from its belly and tightly grasped it in his hand. ¡°Sess!¡± Long Yu seeded, and at the maximum speed, he jumped away from Teng snake King, and suddenly felt the warmth of the fist-sized Lingqi-rich neidan of Teng snake King, and his heart was instantly filled with joy. Although, his hands were covered in blood due to injuries inflicted by holding the sharp thorn vines, and blood was constantly dripping from the countless holes made on his hands, but he didn¡¯t care about his injuries, because now he finally obtained the neidan of Teng snake King, and with its help, he would be able to step into the Wudao sixthyer in one fell swoop! After the neidan was taken out of its body, the Teng snake King¡¯s body heavily crashed on the ground. But at this time, two figures suddenly emerged in front of Long Yu. One of them was Sister Qin, whom he saved a while ago, and at the moment, she was leaning on a stick and seemed to be facing difficulty in walking. And at her side, there was a young man wearing ck clothes, and from his appearance he looked to be in his early twenties. A formidable aura wasing out of his body and anybody could see that this man had a very high cultivation level, probably at Wudao seventhyer! ¡°Elder brother, it¡¯s him, he is the guy who took Teng snake King¡¯s neidan from me. You must help me in taking it back from him!¡± At this time, that ¡°Sister Qin¡± was greedily looking at the neidan in Long Yu¡¯s hand! Chapter 24 – bite the hand that feeds one Chapter ¨C 24 bite the hand that feeds one Long Yu heard the words of Sister Qin and could not help but frowned. Took neidan of Teng snake King from her? She brought back help to snatch it back from him? This Sister Qin was simply ridiculous. It was evident that Long Yu just now killed Teng snake King so when did she kill it? Long Yu saved her but instead of thanking him, she actually brought someone to help her snatch away the neidan from him! ¡°So she intends to bite the hand that fed her?¡± (Mystique ¨C ¡®bite the hand that feeds one¡¯ is an idiom.) Long Yu thought then carefully observed Sister Qin and that ck-clothed youth and felt that both of them looked somewhat familiar. Then he suddenly remembered something rted to surname Qin. Yu Guan City, Qin n. Qin Ronger and her elder brother Qin Tianque, this brother and sisterbo of Qin n had joined Zhentian Sect, and this year, Qin Tianque appeared to be in his early twenties, but had actually reached the Wudao seventhyer. At Wudao seventhyer, it was possible to release Xuan qi outside the body and could very much enhance the battle efficiency, and Long Yu, who was still at the Wudao fifthyer, was definitely not his opponent. However, if Long Yu could only have enough time to absorb the neidan of Teng snake King, then he would be able to step into the Wudao sixthyer, and then, he might a small chance¡­¡­ The eyes of ck-clothed youth, Qin Tianque, were clearly revealing arrogance. He shot a fierce nce at Long Yu and lightly said: ¡°I am an inner disciple of Zhentian Sect, Qin Tianque. Know your limits and obediently hand over Teng snake King¡¯s neidan, and I may exempt you from physical suffering.¡± ¡°What utter nonsense, I killed Teng snake King and I also saved your sister¡¯s life, but now youe and ask me to hand over the neidan?¡± Long Yu said with a contemptuous smile on his face. ¡°Ha ha ha! That¡¯s really funny!¡± Qin Tianqueughed: ¡°You are just a trivial Wudao fifthyer brat, how can you possibly kill the Teng snake King whose strength is said to beparable to a master of Wudao seventhyer? It is obvious that you used despicable means to snatch it from my sister¡¯s hands!¡± Hearing the biased words of the opposite party, a cold feeling appeared in Long Yu¡¯s heart. Long Yu looked at that Sister Qin and saw that she actually didn¡¯t budge even the slightest while her beautiful eyes were lingering on the neidan of Teng snake King. If she could obtain this neidan then she would be able to step into the Wudao sixth stage and then she would be eligible for participating in thepetition of Royal Ancient Ginseng forest! She would never let go of this opportunity, even if it was no different than betraying her own savior, she must obtain the neidan at any cost, not to mention there was no one else nearby so no one would know about this matter except the two siblings! Therefore, there wasn¡¯t the slightest guilt in her eyes instead there was a lot of greed and expectation. ¡°Qin Ronger, rest assured, I will definitely seize the neidan of Teng snake King for you.¡± Qin Tianque gave a doting look to Qin Ronger then immediately turned his face towards Long Yu and a teasing look shed in his eyes when he lightly said: ¡°So, do you want me to begin?¡± ¡°Senior doesn¡¯t need to trouble himself. I will hand over the neidan of Teng snake King.¡± Long Yu said in a calm voice then raised his hand as if he was going to throw the neidan in the direction of Qin Tianque. ¡°Good, you seem to know your limits and where you actually belong.¡± Qin Ronger proudly raised her chin as if she already anticipated that Long Yu would eventually have to hand over the neidan, then her elder brother would kill him and finish this matter once and forever. The siblings would naturally not allow Long Yu to live and give him an opportunity to spread the news about this matter in the Sect! But the next moment, Long Yu¡¯s threw something from his already raised hand but it was not the neidan! Instead, he threw a good few sharp thorn vines towards Qin Tianque, while he himself cast flickering wind step, turned into a burst of breeze, and turned around to run! ¡°You asked for it!¡± When Qin Tianque saw the running figure of Long Yu, the arrogant expression on his face suddenly changed into a cold one. With a flick of his hand, several ripples of bluish-green Xuan Qi congealed into a wind-de and instantly rushed towards the sharp thorn vines and cut them off in the mid-air. Qin Tianque¡¯s figure rushed forwards and he also cast an agility type martial skill to chase Long Yu! ¡°Elder brother, you must snatch my neidan back from him!¡± Qin Ronger viciously shouted. ¡°Ronger, don¡¯t worry!¡± Qin Tianque spoke and the Xuan qi started operating inside his body, and he actually cast a peak level agility type martial skill, giving him a speed far more than Long Yu¡¯s speed! The agility type martial skill he cast actually belonged to the Qin n of Yu Guan City and its effect was no less than the flickering wind step of Zhentian Sect, and in just a burning time of half a stick of incense, the distance between them rapidly reduced. Originally, Long Yu turned around and fled when he was unprepared, and taking advantage of this, Long Yu was able to widen the separation between them by 20-30 feet, but soon, Qin Tianque¡¯s fast speed caused this separation toe down to less than 10 feet. And this distance of 10 feet was the longest distance up to which Qin Tianque could sessfully and urately strike the Xuan qi! ¡°Xuan wind destroyer!¡± Qin Tianque immediately released strong ripples of bluish-green Xuan qi and once again congealed a wind-de and threw towards fleeing Long Yu. ¡°Flickering wind step, dodge!¡± Long Yu just now dyed its use for some time, but now, he could finally use the flickering wind step once again. Feeling the Xuan qi attack of Qin Tianque drawing close to him from behind, Long Yu congealed Xuan qi, which made his whole body light like the breeze, and now, one flickering step could take him beyond thirty feet! ¡°Relying on your flickering wind step practiced to Da Cheng level to dodge my attack, but can you escape the second time?¡± Qin Tianque sneered and his stature shed, a momentter, he used a Xuan qi based martial skill, and suddenly, dark Xuan qi such as snakes raided towards Long Yu! Long Yu immediately dodged to one side and hid behind a giant tree. However, the Xuan wind destroyer was a top grade martial skill, in addition to that, Qin Tianque was at the Wudao seventhyer, so the wind-de released by him prated the giant tree and passed right through it! Chi! The wind-de inflicted a shearing wound on Long Yu¡¯s arm and it started to bleed profusely, but he didn¡¯t utter a single word, and his running speed suddenly increased instead of decreasing. ¡°I will see for how long you can escape.¡± Qin Tianque smiled and a teasing expression appeared on his face. To him, it was just like a cat-and-mouse chase and he was having fun by sometime ridiculing Long Yu. In the abyss of Teng snakes, the forest was so dense that it almostpletely blocked the sunlight from entering inside. So, it was absolutely impossible for anyone to know what was happening here. Qin Tianque had naturally already nned to destroy Long Yu¡¯s corpse without a trace. But the next moment, the smile on Qin Tianque¡¯s face suddenly faded away. ¡°How is this possible, this boy actually -¡° Qin Tianque was so busy in chasing Long Yu and having fun that he actually didn¡¯t notice that he unknowingly had been led in a circle through the forest by Long Yu and had returned to the starting position from where the chase began! Qin Ronger¡¯s leg had been severely injured and it was difficult for her move, so he left her near the corpse of Teng snake King and chased after Long Yu, but he did not expect that he would chasing in a circle and would finallye back to the same ce. Long Yu ran ahead and a smirk suddenly appeared on his face. ¡°Ronger, be careful!¡± Qin Tianque immediately shouted loudly. Qin Ronger was fantasizing that by this time, her brother would have snatched neidan, but how could she possibly know about Long Yu¡¯s strategy? Before she could react, like a breeze, Long Yu appeared beside Qin Ronger with a big stride and grabbed her neck. ¡°What!¡± Qin Ronger was startled when she felt a strong grip on her neck making her to suddenly have a suffocating feeling and was unable to make any sound. ¡°Stop right there.¡± Long Yu threatened Qin Tianque who just now arrived and saw Long Yu grabbing his little sister¡¯s fragile neck. ¡°Release Ronger otherwise I will give you a brutal death!¡± Qin Tianque was dressed in ck clothes and his face looked equally dark and gloomy in the dark woods. Qin Tianque was so confident in his strength that he got careless, and now, Long Yu seized this opportunity and managed to prevail in this situation. Although taking Qin Ronger as hostage would be a reckless decision for others, but not for a former assassin! The hate and anger in Qin Tianque¡¯s heart could be imagined. ¡°If you tried to take even one step forward then your own sister will die a brutal death.¡± Long Yu indifferently said while he increased the intensity of his grip and Qin Ronger suddenly felt like suffocating. A look of hatred appeared in her beautiful eyes. She tried her best to free herself from Long Yu¡¯s clutches, but he had practiced Demon tyrant form, so his basic inner strength was morepared to her strength, and at this moment, she waspletely at the mercy of Long Yu. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that it¡¯s a serious crime to kill someone from the same Sect?¡± Qin Tianque said in a sinister voice but his footsteps actually stopped. He did not want to make any blunder that might cost his sister¡¯s life. ¡°Well, I throw the same words back at your face.¡± Long Yu faintly smiled and said: ¡°Now, you withdraw 100 steps, otherwise, you will see your sister dying in front of your eyes!¡± Qin Tianque hesitated, but eventually stepped back and slowly started to retreat. ¡°Faster!¡± Long Yu shouted: ¡°Stop dilly-dallying, do you really want this girl to die?¡± Long Yu¡¯s words caused a burst of anger inside his hearts, but he did not have any way to resist, and could only obediently stepp back. ¡°As long as I seize the opportunity kid, you will die without a burial site for your corpse!¡± Qin Tianque was viciously cursing as the distance between him and Long Yu gradually increased. ¡°Earlier you said that you are an inner disciple then you certainly have a battle weapon right? Now, you will throw down your battle weapon otherwise you know what can happen.¡± Long Yu said in a calm voice and threatened Qin Tianque using his little sister as the hostage. ¡°Boy, do not go too far, I am an inner disciple and you are just an outer disciple, continue this nonsense and you will have a bleak future in the Sect!¡± Qin Tianque¡¯s cold voice arrived from far and it was obvious that he was not willing to sumb to Long Yu so instead, he began to threaten Long Yu instead. ¡°Why is it taking so long? Hurry up and throw down the battle weapon!¡± Long Yu sneered and threatened once again. But this time, he did not get a response, Qin Tianque no longer made any sound, and it seemed as if hepletely disappeared in the darkness of the woods! ¡°It seems in the eyes of your brother, a battle weapon is more important than your life.¡± Long Yu said to Qin Ronger with a touch of disappointment in his words. This sentence made Qin Ronger lose her heart. Her elder brother was really going to abandon her for a battle weapon, without caring whether she would live or die? No, definitely not! ¡°You won¡¯t dare to kill me.¡± Qin Ronger calmed down and said. She believed that her elder brother must have known that this boy wouldn¡¯t dare to kill her, so he didn¡¯t throw the battle weapon. After all, if the news about him killing her in the abyss of Teng snakes spread in the Zhentian Sect and reached the ears of elder, then this boy would be severely punished and even getting expelled from the Sect would be a light punishment! ¡°You have such a puny brain.¡± Long Yu smiled and said: ¡°Do you really think that your brother ran back to the Sect toin to the elders?¡± Long Yu said while keeping a careful attention to the surrounding movements and sounds, in these dark woods, he disyed the peak level of perception skill of Wudao fifthyer, and suddenly discovered that Qin Tianque was nearby and was quietly approaching from the other direction. ¡°nning a sneak attack on me?¡± Long Yu sneered. Perhaps Qin Tianque did not think that Long Yu would be so calmly observing! After all, Long Yu was just at the Wudao fifthyer, and facing a master at the Wudao seventhyer, he could easily lose his life in a single attack, in such a case, most people would feel their heartbeat racing and would be panic-stricken, causing them to lose their calm. Long Yu tightly clutched Qin Ronger¡¯s neck and slowly started to move together with her. The direction in which he was moving to happened to be same where the Teng snake king¡¯s body wasying on the ground and it was also the central location between Long Yu and Qin Tianque. It was obvious, Long Yu had already thought of a strategy to deal with Qin Tianque¡¯s sneak attack! Chapter 25 – neidan absorption Chapter ¨C 25 neidan absorption In the deep dark abyss of Teng snake, giant trees were blocking out the sun, increasing the danger. While keeping Qin Ronger¡¯s neck in his clutches, Long Yu was standing behind the corpse of Teng snake King, in a straight line path leading to Qin Tianque hidden in the forest. The huge body of Teng snake king was blocking the line of sight of Qin Tianque, so he could not observe Long Yu. This irritated Qin Tianque. He was a master of Wudao seventhyer and a kid of Wudao fifthyer was actually ying around with him, which made him feel very ufortable and annoyed. ¡°Trying to hinder my line of sight, in order to seize an opportunity to run?¡± When Qin Tianque discovered that Long Yu was hiding behind the body of Teng snake king, he snorted and decided that regardless of what method Long Yu used, he won¡¯t be able to escape his superior hunting and killing skills. He was a hunter, while Long Yu was just a prey! Of course, this was only what Qin Tianque thought. Suddenly, Qin Ronger shouted in a pained voice, causing a tightening feeling in Qin Tianque¡¯s heart, it was not good, he must act quickly! Shabu! Qin Tianque¡¯s choroid figure moved quickly and in just two or three jumps, he jumped above the corpse of Teng snake king, and upied amanding position, and his field of vision suddenly opened up, making him able to see Long Yu and his sister. ¡°Release my little sister at once! If anything happens to her then you will die without a doubt!¡± Qin Tianque saw that not far away from him, Long Yu had just now pinched Qin Ronger¡¯s neck with slightly harder force, making her to shout in a loud and pained voice. But when Qin Tianque jumped upon Teng snake king¡¯s body, suddenly, Long Yu slightly curled up the corners of his mouth. ¡°Swallowed the bait.¡± Long Yu exerted the strength in his one hand and had already prepared a giant boulder weighing 10,000 Jin underfoot and threw it towards the giant corpse of Teng snake king. Qin Tianque¡¯splexion changed but could not react when the boulder pounded on the broken abdomen of Teng snake king. With its terrifying weight, the giant boulder suddenly pounded on the internal organs and blood of the broken abdomen of Teng snake king, and all of the filthy things inside the abdomen of Teng snake king crushed and sshed out. Qin Tianque was originally standing on the corpse of Teng snake King, closest to the impact point of giant boulder, and was immediately drenched by the filthy internal organs sshed from the broken abdomen of Teng snake king. A burst of stink started to exude from his whole body. ¡°It went well, time to go!¡± Long Yu directly threw down Qin Ronger and turned around in one direction and ran away at the fastest possible speed. ¡°Waste, I will kill you!¡± Qin Tianque never thought that Long Yu woulde up with such a move, and both his eyes suddenly reddened, filled with a color of pure hatred. Since the time he had stepped into the world of Wudao, he had been considered as the genius of Yu Guan City¡¯s Qin n, but he had never been so embarrassed! At the moment, he was drenched with the blood and internal organs of a demon beast! However, when he actually saw Long Yu discarding Qin Ronger and directly escaping with the neidan of Teng snake king, an intense burst of killing intent suddenly spread throughout his body. ¡°You must die!¡± Qin Tianque pledged in his heart and immediately made an effort to whip his own body. After removing some of the heavy filth from his body, he jumped sideways to the Qin Ronger¡¯s side. ¡°Ronger, I will take you with me, we will chase together.¡± Qin Tianque said that because he would nevermit the same mistake again. Qin Ronger nodded silently but could not help but frowned due to the intense foul and stinking from the body of Qin Tianque, because it was just too smelly and stinking a lot. Qin Tianque noticed the disgusted look in his little sister¡¯s eyes and his hatred for Long Yu became even deeper than before. That waste, he even dared to make a fool of him in front of his little sister! He held Qin Ronger and rushed horizontally by once again casting and disying the speed of his agility type martial skill, practiced to the peak level, and pursued in the same direction in which Long Yu had fled. But, due to the dy that happened just now, the distance between the two sides had already widened considerably. Even with the speed of Qin Tianque, he was chasing along with injured Qin Ronger, so catching up with Long Yu was not something that could be achieved easily in a short time. Long Yu would certainly not escape. These siblings not only tried to snatch the Teng snake king¡¯s neidan from him, they even nned to silence him, so how could he not punish the other side, at least, he would take that Qin Tianque¡¯s battle weapon aspensation! Soon, Long Yu ran back for a distance of several miles. Qin Tianque holding Qin Ronger finally caught up with him once again and arrived not far behind him. But this time, Long Yu had also finally arrived at his own nned destination. ¡°Brother, pleasee and quickly help us!¡± ¡°Brother, help us, we are tangled in the vines!¡± Several sessive voices came one after another. Long Yu looked up and saw that he had really returned to that ce where three outer disciples were entangled in vines and crying for help. ¡°Someone¡¯sing to help you.¡± Long Yu slightly curled up the corner of his mouth, said something randomly at will, then bypassed them and immediately vanished in the dark thicket. They looked at each other with clear disappointment on their faces and a clear look of dismay in their eyes. Someone wasing to help them? In a while, they were going to understand the meaning of Long Yu¡¯s words. Soon, they saw Qin Tianque alsoing from the same direction while holding Qin Ronger and felt as if their savior had arrived and all of them shouted loudly in delighted manner: ¡°Brother Qin, Sister Qin, please help us quickly!¡± For the disciples of same sect, if someone was in danger then other people would naturally help. In particr, when the three outer disciples entangled in vines saw a famous inner disciple like Qin Tianqueing in their direction then a burst of hope suddenly bloomed in their hearts. Considering the strength of an inner disciple, cutting off these vines should be children¡¯s y right? ¡°Have you seen a man in ck clothes passing from here?¡± Qin Tianque ran over to them and asked in a fierce tone while his whole body was exuding foul smell. Listening to his voice, the three outer disciples were surprised for a moment, but immediately, something happened which totally shocked them! They saw that the vines wrapped around their bodies, as if felt a new source of food, and loosened their bodies at a lightning speed, and immediately advanced towards Qin Tianque! The three youths did not react and even Qin Tianque was startled and was totally caught off guard. His whole body was covered in Teng snake king¡¯s visceral body fluids and immediately attracted the vines towards Qin Tianque¡¯s body. Qin Tianque quickly understood what was going on. Just when he approached the three youths entangled in the vines, not just the vines on their bodies, even the vines hidden in the surroundings smelled the visceral fluids of Teng snake king on his body and instantly surrounded him. ¡°Take care of my little sister!¡± Qin Tianque hastily pushed Qin Ronger towards the three youths then immediately condensed Xuan qi on his whole body. ¡°Xuan wind destroyer!¡± Bluish-green Xuan qi congealed to be wind-des and instantly cut off several vines, but the speed of other vines was very fast, and in a short time, they instantly wrapped his body and four limbs. The sharp thorns on the surface of these vines had apparently regarded Qin Tianque as a Teng snake demon beast and must slurp its flesh and blood! ¡°Let me go!¡± Qin Tianque roared loudly, and at this time, the strength present in his entire body suddenly broke out! The most fundamental difference between martial cultivators and demon beasts was that martial cultivators were able to use battle weapons while demon beasts couldn¡¯t. At this point, Qin Tianque finally took out his battle weapon, rewarded to him by Zhentian Sect after bing an inner disciple. There was a jade nature seal on the battle weapon gripped tightly in the hands of Qin Tianque. The Xuan qi suddenly urged inside his body and emitted a series of sharp wind-des from the seal, and these wind-des were stronger than the Xuan wind destroyer martial skill of Qin Tianque! Each of these wind-des was like the scythe of death and easily cut off the sharp thorn vines. Its might was enormous and perhaps if Long Yu was facing these wind-des and tried to dodge continuously, he won¡¯t be able to dodge all of them and would be cut to shreds. However, the quantity of vines was really too much. Even the giant sized Teng snake king was unable to escape after being tied down by one clump of vines and wasterpletely wrapped in them, let alone a mere human like Qin Tianque. Although Qin Tianque was cutting the vines faster than Teng snake king, but his body was still gradually being constantly entangled by the sharp thorn vines, and soon got totally twined by the vines, and then, the sharp thorns present on the surface of vines pierced his skin! As the blood flowed out of his body, the vines reacted as if they felt something like disgust from it and quickly retracted the sharp thorns, but the stench of a Teng snake was still exuding from Qin Tianque¡¯s body and was still a favorite of these vines so they didn¡¯t let go of him. The two sides fell into a protracted fight and the three youths standing nearby had dumbfounded looks in their eyes as they were watching this, but the good news was that they had been saved as the boy in ck clothes said a moment ago. ¡°You three, hurry up and chase after that boy in ck clothes, he has the neidan of Teng snake king!¡± Qin Ronger¡¯s thigh had been pierced by a thorny branch earlier so she was leaning against a tree to support her. She simply didn¡¯t have the time to care about Qin Tianque and suddenly shouted and ordered the three outer disciples to chase after Long Yu! ¡°Teng snake king¡¯s neidan?¡± The three men had just now emerged from the shackles of the vines, and at this time, when they heard about the neidan of Teng snake king, they were immediately startled. Although, even if they snatched the neidan, it was certain that they would have to hand it over to Qin Tianque, but if they could use this opportunity to be friends with Qin Tianque and Qin Ronger, then it might be very beneficial for their future development. Thinking of this, they suddenly looked at each other, and all three of them immediately pursued in the same direction in which Long Yu had disappeared a moment ago. ¡­¡­ Long Yu was hiding in the thicket in the opposite direction, and seeing this, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. He knew that sooner orter, these three would beckeys of Qin Tianque, but it did not matter, because those three were chasing in the wrong direction. Long Yu had already crushed Teng snake king¡¯s neidan and started to absorb the Lingqi contained inside it. The neidan of an ordinary Teng snake demon beast was equivalent to an ordinary immortality pill used by the martial cultivators, but Teng snake king¡¯s neidan was equivalent to the top grade immortality pills! Long Yu absorb the Lingqi and suddenly felt an intrepid warm welling inside his body and circting through all of the meridians within his body. Under the effects of Nine hidden Dragon Mark which simply went against the heaven¡¯s will, he felt a quenching feeling throughout the meridians inside his body, the Xuan qi was rapidly surging and increasing inside his body, while his strength was also gradually increasing, and from initial 16,000 Jin, it slowly raised to 18,000 Jin. The strength of 18,000 Jin was the limit for Wudao fifthyer, and if one wanted to raise the strength even further, the only option was to have a breakthrough! Thump! Thump! Thump! The speed of Long Yu¡¯s heartbeats increased and became faster and faster, while the Xuan qi cirction also became more and more vigorous inside his meridians. He immediately realized that he was on the verge of having a breakthrough to the Wudao sixthyer. He was bing more and more formidable than ever before. He quickly andpletely absorbed Teng snake king¡¯s neidan leaving only a pile of useless debris. From his body came several sounds of breaking bones which was also the indication of forting breakthrough. Atst, Wudao sixthyer was not far away from his reach. But these sounds suddenly attracted the attention of Qin Ronger. At this time, less than half an hour had already passed from the time Qin Tianque was entangled in vines. Finally, depending on the strength of his battle weapon, Xuan wind seal, he chopped off all of the sharp thorn vines and freed himself. However, this dogfight with the sharp thorn vines turned out to be a blessing in disguise, because during the struggle to break free from the vines, the stinky filth on his body waspletely absorbed by the vines. ¡°Elder brother, I heard some sounds from that direction!¡± Qin Ronger pointed towards the nearby dark thicket. Since her leg was injured, she was afraid to go and check it out, but now that Qin Tianque had defeated all the vines, she immediately urged him to go and inspect the source of these sounds she heard a while ago. And in the direction she was pointing, Long Yu was hiding behind the thicket and secretly absorbing the Teng snake king¡¯s neidan. ¡°Could it be that this boy was hiding in the thicket and secretly absorbing neidan?¡± Qin Tianque felt the dense concentration of Lingqi from the thicket, indicating that a martial cultivator was about to have a breakthrough and a cold look suddenly appeared in his eyes. His sister was going to use Teng snake king¡¯s neidan to enhance her cultivation level, how could he tolerate when someone else used it under his nose? ¡°Even if you managed to have a breakthrough, I will still kill you!¡± Qin Tianque firmly set a resolve in his heart and gradually walked towards the dark thicket where Long Yu was hiding! Chapter 26 – battle with Qin Tianque Chapter ¨C 26 battle with Qin Tianque When Qin Tianque came near the thicket, just then, Long Yu finally seeded in having a breakthrough and stepped into the Wudao sixthyer! Suddenly, the strength in his entire body increased tremendously. Now, he possessed a terrifying strength of 32,000 Jin, and together with the strength gained by the Demon tyrant form, his total strength increased to almost 35,000 Jin, making him much stronger than a normal martial cultivator of Wudao sixthyer. And if he activated the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯, then he could further enhance his strength by an extra 10,000 Jin, and when put together, his total strength would be 45,000 Jin. ¡°The gap of strength between me and Qin Tianque has narrowed down a lot, but still, it will not be so easy to deal with him¡­..¡± Long Yu thought calmly and his eyes shed, but, just at the moment, he suddenly heard the buzz of conversations from outside the thicket. ¡°Brother Qin, Brother Qin, are you alright?¡± The voice actually belonged to one of the three outer disciples of Zhentian Sect! The three outer disciples had actually run in the wrong direction to chase Long Yu, of course, they came back without any sess. But, at this juncture, they were not willing to give up, instead they wanted to seize the opportunity to impress Qin Tianque, so they ran back. ¡°I¡¯m certainly okay.¡± Qin Tianque¡¯s voice fell into the ears of Long Yu from a distance of almost twenty feet away, making him realize the probable position of the opposite party. ¡°Sister Qin, what actually happened? Who took Teng snake king¡¯s neidan from you?¡± Seeing the cold and gloomy appearance of Qin Tianque, another outer disciple asked Qin Ronger. Qin Ronger lightly snorted and said: ¡°We do not know who he is because it was too dark in the woods, moreover, he hides too well so we didn¡¯t clearly see his appearance. We just know that he is an outer disciple at the Wudao fifthyer.¡± ¡°Brother Qin couldn¡¯t clearly see his appearance either?¡± The remaining outer disciple said in a surprised tone. Qin Tianque only snorted, but didn¡¯t say anything. He had yet to see the appearance of Long Yu and this brought a feeling of humiliation in his heart. In his previous life, Long Yu was famous as the king of killers, so how could he so easily expose himself to anybody? Moreover in ce like the abyss of Teng snake, where it was so convenient to hide oneself! ¡°It¡¯s now important to know who he is. I only know that he snatched the neidan of Teng snake king from me.¡± Qin Ronger indifferently said. As soon as the trio heard her words, one of them immediately said: ¡°He actually dared to snatch the neidan of Teng snake king from Sister Qin? It seems that he impatient to die! Sister Qin¡¯s leg injury is also his fault? How could this person be so cruel to a disciple of the same Sect, such a brutal man should not be let off so easily!¡± ¡°You are right, wait a minute, my brother is going to deal with him, you keep a watch all around, do not let him escape once again, understood?¡± Qin Ronger said in amanding tone like a young princess. ¡°Yes!¡± All three replied in unison. While hiding in the bushes, Long Yu sneered in his heart and thought that this woman was really a vile creature with vicious and ruthless thoughts! All the three outer disciples solemnly pledged to encircle Long Yu to kill him, but they didn¡¯t actually know that Qin Ronger itself was the real greedy evil person! However even if they knew, it would probably not change their standpoint, because Qin Tianque was an inner disciples at the Wudao seventhyer, and standing on his side would be obviously be more favorable to them, irrespective of who was right or wrong. Qin Tianque approached the thicket, but of course, even if facing a Wudao fifthyer boy, he wouldn¡¯t possibly be arrogant enough to personally go into the thicket to find Long Yu. The next moment, the first to enter the thicket was not Qin Tianque but his sessive wind-des. Xuan wind destroyer! Qin Tianque as a master of Wudao seventhyer was able to release Xuan qi out of his body and he naturally hadn¡¯t forgotten his own superiority, so he used Xuan qi based martial skill, and threw sharp wind-des that raided on the thicket one after another! Facing these sharp wind-des, it was now impossible for Long Yu to hide inside anymore, so his figure appeared out of the thicket. Long Yu jumped out of the thicket and swept a heavy kick on a giant tree, and immediately, while hugging the great tree using his both hands, he immediately directed the falling giant tree towards Qin Tianque. Using the strength of more than 30,000 Jin, uprooting such a giant tree was quite difficult for Long Yu, although if it really pounded on Qin Tianque, then even if he was at Wudao seventhyer, it was not difficult to imagine that he would be severely injured. ¡°Naive!¡± Qin Tianque sneered and instantly disyed an agility type martial skill practiced to the peak level and easily dodged when the giant tree was falling upon him. Bang! With a loud sound of bang, the giant tree trunk heavily pounded on the ground! Long Yu¡¯s figure suddenly appeared behind Qin Tianque. Long Yu had immediately used flickering wind step, and in a blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of 30 feet. At that time, in a sh, Long Yu came behind Qin Tianque and immediately activated ¡®Nine hidden Dragons Mark¡¯, condensing strength of 45,000 Jin in his leg and gave a hard kick towards Qin Tianque¡¯s waist. If nothing else, this kick could at least injure Qin Tianque. Buzz! But, a translucent blue barrier instantly appeared on one side of Qin Tianque¡¯s body and actually blocked the strength present in Long Yu¡¯s kick. ¡°What is this?¡± Long Yu frowned because he could say for sure that his kick had not been detected by Qin Tianque beforehand then how did he condense this blue barrier to block his kick? Defense type martial skill? ¡°This is an agility type martial skill of our Qin n, Blue wind agility skill, and whenprehended to the peak level, it grants power to the cultivator to automatically condense a barrier screen of blue wind.¡¯¡¯ Qin Ronger sneered on one side: ¡°Relying on your strength, give up on the idea of crushing the blue wind barrier, injuring my brother should be really out of question.¡± As her voice fell, Qin Tianque shouted and threw a heavy fist sideways towards Long Yu. ¡°Xuan qi inner strength shield!¡¯¡¯ Long Yu covered his left shoulder with Xuan qi at a lightning speed, followed by Qin Tianque¡¯s heavy punch pounding on his shoulder, making his whole body to fly upside down. Long Yu fell on the ground, and felt intense pain in his shoulder, but he clenched his teeth and didn¡¯t utter a single sound from his mouth. Fortunately, just a moment ago he used the twinkling step and got a deeper insight of this agility type martial skill. After apse of two weeks, it seemed as if he had almost reached the peak of agility type martial skill. (Mystique- One twinkling step can send Long Yu¡¯s body 30 feet across) When Qin Tianque saw Long Yu lying on ground, painfully clenching his teeth, he stood proudly, and a strong look of disdain appeared in his eyes. ¡°Boy, even if you have stepped into Wudao sixthyer, but you still aren¡¯t my opponent. I am at Wudao seventhyer, so there is a difference of heaven and earth between us!¡± Qin Tianque step by step moved towards Long Yu, preparing to give the final blow. ¡°This despicable person took away the neidan of Teng snake king from my sister and also injured my sister¡¯s leg, and now, he secretly absorbed the neidan and reached the Wudao sixthyer.¡¯¡¯ Qin Tianque indifferently said: ¡°Tell me, what I should do with him?¡± Qin Ronger didn¡¯t say anything, but the other three disciples immediately eximed in a loud voice: ¡°This person is despicable and cruel, without any sense of shame. How could Zhentian Sect possibly allow such type of despicable person to exist in the Sect? Brother Qin, it¡¯s better to kill him and clean the waste from our sect!¡± ¡°Clean the waste, well said.¡± It seemed like Qin Ronger¡¯s eyes were spraying fire. Neidan of Teng snake king used by this boy was practically going to be wasted. If he had not used it, then Qin Ronger would have consumed it to step into Wudao sixthyer, and half a monthter, she might have participated in thepetition at Royal Ancient Ginseng forest. ¡°All of this is this person¡¯s fault, brother you must kill him and clean up a waste like him from Zhentian Sect.¡± Saying that, Qin Roger gritted her teeth and didn¡¯t even think that not long ago, it was Long Yu who actually saved her life from the Teng snake king. ¡°It is natural.¡± At that time, Qin Tianque stood there, bulging out his chest like a god of death in a dark and gloomy forest, and he moved forward and came close to Long Yu: ¡°Relying on your strength of flickering wind step at the Da Cheng level, you can also use twinkling step for short time, but let¡¯s see how you will run this time?¡± ¡°If you must kill me, then why waste time on idle talk, hurry up and begin.¡± Still lying on the ground, Long Yu said in an indifferent tone as if he was ready for anything or everything! ¡°Such being the case, I¡¯ll give you what you want.¡± Qin Tianqueughed and having the stance of the final victor, he lifted his one leg and severely stamped towards Long Yu! Great strength of 64,000 Jin was condensed in his foot, and when he lifted his foot, it produced howling sound in the surrounding air, and it was absolutely sure that if his leg would step on Long Yu, it would instantly turn him into meat paste. But right now, injured by the fist attack from Qin Tianque, Long Yu didn¡¯t have an opportunity to dodge this attack. In the face of this cruel scene, the three outer disciples didn¡¯t say anything and just stood there watching silently. In their eyes, as long as their interest was getting served, they didn¡¯t care what would happen to Long Yu! Even Qin Ronger¡¯s eyes showed a touch of anticipation, as this boy had taken the neidan of Teng snake king from her and secretly absorbed it, now was the time for him to finally pay the price. ¡°Die!¡± Qin Tianque shouted loudly and stepped down on Long Yu. Bang! With the loud bang, the dust flew upwards, however before the footnded on Long Yu, his figure actually turned into an afterimage and dissipated in the wind! ¡°What?¡± At the moment, Qin Tianque could not react, and for a while, he remained frozen on the spot. How could this boy turn into an afterimage? Not only Qin Tianque, but Qin Ronger and other three were startled as well. How did the boy vanish all of a sudden? They looked all around but did not see the figure of Long Yu anywhere, which totally confused them. However, at this time, Qin Tianque suddenly felt a whistling winding from over his head, his heart trembled instantly, and he quickly raised his head to look, but could only see a pair of shoes growing bigger and bigger, as they were dropping down towards his head. ¡°Damn you!¡± Long Yu was actually falling from the sky! Bang, one foot of Long Yu hit on the head of unprepared Qin Tianque, and the strength condensed in this kick was absolutely exceeding the strength limit of Long Yu! Bang! Qin Tianque didn¡¯t get a chance to react in time and Long Yu severely stepped on his head. Qin Tianque¡¯s body fell on the ground while his neck was directly broken under the heavy impact of tremendous strength possessed by Long Yu. He died on the spot without getting any chance to fight back, it was an instant death! It turned out just at the crucial moment, Long Yu suddenly felt that he had broken through to the peak level of flickering wind step and a martial cultivator at the peak level of flicker wind step could produce an afterimage of himself and could also take three consecutive twinkling steps to cross a distance of 100 feet in a blink of an eye. When Qin Tianque stepped his leg towards Long Yu, he instantly disyed the peak level of flickering wind step and left behind an afterimage of himself, and used three consecutive twinkling steps to reach 100 feet into the sky, right above the head of Qin Tianque. Falling from a height of 100 feet in the sky, coupled with his entire strength condensed in his leg, he actually kicked Qin Tianque! Just now the screen of that blue wind did not appear, might be because it showed only when Qin Tianque was using his agility type martial skill, but while facing Long Yu¡¯s kick, Qin Tianque simply did not have enough time to activate his agility skill. However, when Qin Tianque¡¯s lifeless body fell on the ground, Long Yu also fell down, because although he kicked Qin Tianque, but the strength of counter-shock was too big and his leg broke off once again! Of course, whenpared to losing his life, a broken leg was nothing. Qin Tianque¡¯s haughty figure fell on the ground, while his mouth was open and his eyes were openly staring with disbelief indicating that he never expected that he would be trampled to death by Long Yu. Qin Tianque was an inner disciple of Zhentian Sect and was also at Wudao seventhyer, but was killed by receiving one kick from a boy who just entered into the Wudao sixthyer? ¡°Brother!¡± Qin Ronger waspletely shocked because her elder brother was considered an outstanding genius from childhood to adulthood, then how could he actually die like this? Long Yu choked back his leg pain, stood up reluctantly, and swept his eyes towards Qin Ronger but did not pay attention to her. He lowered his head and took the battle weapon from Qin Tianque¡¯s corpse. Xuan wind seal, finally obtained! ¡°Sister Qin, this boy is extremely cruel, he actually killed your elder brother, and we must kill him and get justice for your brother¡¯s murder.¡± At this moment, there was a sudden change in reactions of the three outer disciples and one could clearly see the color of greed in their eyes! If theybined their strengths with Qin Ronger to kill the wounded Long Yu, then they would be able to capture the battle weapon, Xuan wind seal. One must know that only inner disciples could have battle weapons, but for the outer disciples, it was just like a precious treasure! Chapter 27 – mysterious youth Chapter ¨C 27 mysterious youth In this world of martial artists, everyone was focused on improving their own strength, but regarding right and wrong, how many people would care about all that? When Long Yu defeated Qin Tianque, he also seriously injured his own leg, giving a golden opportunity to the remaining three! These three were all the outer disciples of Zhentian Sect, one of them was at Wudao sixthyer, and other two were at Wudao fifthyer, and although their individual cultivations were not high, but if they joined forces, then they could be a formidable force. Long Yu was originally weak and was very vulnerablepared to earlier while the originally strong Qin Ronger had also be vulnerable after her brother¡¯s death! As the three outer disciples slowly advanced towards Long Yu, Qin Ronger¡¯s heart was still in chaos, she could not ept that her elder brother died in front of her eyes. However, at this time, a loud shout suddenly came from the direction of Zhentian Sect! ¡°Stop.¡± Just then, a middle-aged man d in purple robe arrived from sideways into the field, and with a casual wave of his hand, a shock wave rushed towards the three outer disciples and pushed them several steps away from Long Yu. There was a firm and resolute expression on the face of this middle-aged man and an upright look in his eyes. Looking at the identity token on his waist, everyone noticed that he was actually thew enforcement elder of Zhentian Sect! Law enforcement elder was a rtively important presence in the Zhentian Sect and held the powers to punish the disciples who vited the rules of Zhentian Sect. Long Yu looked up and saw the just now arrivedw enforcement elder, but did not feel relieved, rather he was more anxious. Because he did not know whether thew enforcement elder was a friend or foe! ¡°Elder Tan, you came ¡­¡­¡± Qin Ronger limped to one side and when she noticed that purple-robed middle-aged man had arrived, she couldn¡¯t help but revealed a happy expression on her beautiful face. ¡°Ronger.¡± Purple-robed middle-aged man nodded to Qin Ronger then a deep color of regret appeared on his face when he tilted his head and looked at the corpse of Qin Tianqueying on the ground, afterward, his focus immediately shifted towards Long Yu. Seeing the mutual salutation between the middle-aged man and Qin Ronger, Long Yu¡¯s heart sank because he quickly realized that arrival of this Elder Tan was definitely a bad news! ¡°I am Tan Wuchuan and Qin Tianque was my just received disciple.¡± The elder looked at Long Yu and indifferently said. ¡°So, you want to avenge your disciple?¡± Long Yu calmly said while he was constantly racking his brain, thinking about countermeasures, but no matter how much he tried, in the current circumstances, he couldn¡¯t formte any contingency ns to get out of this mess. The purple-robed middle-aged man, Tan Wuchuan, was thew enforcement elder of Zhentian Sect and his cultivation level must be at least at Wudao ninthyer or might be more than that! At Long Yu¡¯s current strength, he was simply too weak and couldn¡¯t possibly fight against an elder. ¡°If you are at fault then you should be punished, if not, I will let you go.¡± These words of elder were beyond Long Yu¡¯s expectations, then the elder closed his eyes and it seemed as if he was mourning for the death of his disciple. However, before he closed his eyes, a killing intent faintly shed in his eyes and it was actually captured by Long Yu¡¯s keen eyes! ¡°This Tan Wuchuan doesn¡¯t seem in a mood to properly do his duty of punishing the guilty¡­¡­¡± Long Yu was secretly alert in his heart. ¡°So, who will tell me what exactly happened here?¡± Tan Wuchuan asked. ¡°Elder Tan, I will tell, I will tell.¡± Qin Ronger was the first one to step forward while shouting loudly then anxiously said: ¡°Elder Tan, early this morning, I entered the abyss of Teng snake along with other four fellow brothers and coincidently ran into a Teng snake king!¡± ¡°Teng snake king?¡± Tan Wuchuan closed his eyes and scowled then nodded his head and said: ¡°Continue.¡± ¡°After running into the Teng snake king, we went all out and fought desperately, but Teng snake king was just too powerful and four brothers were killed, and by that time, Teng snake king also ran out of its strength.¡± At this point, a vicious look appeared on Qin Ronger¡¯s face, and she said while staring at Long Yu: ¡°I beheaded Teng snake king to avenge the fellow brothers, but at that time, this murderer suddenly appeared and not only wounded my leg , but also snatched Teng snake king¡¯s neidan from me!¡± Tan Wuchuan kept on listening but didn¡¯t say a word and it seemed as if he was considering something. Long Yu was watching from the sidelines, basically he¡¯d like to see how Qin Ronger would pull it off! Qin Ronger did not stop and continue to say in her sweet and delicate voice: ¡°After snatching neidan of Teng snake king from me, this murderer escaped, but was finally overtaken by my brother. Brother asked him to hand over the neidan but he not only did not listen, instead tricked my brother with an ambush which ultimately led to his death!¡± ¡°Do you really mean what you just said?¡± Tan Wuchuan¡¯s face revealed a fierce color. ¡°En, Elder Tan, this murderer is cruel and ruthless, he even killing a fellow disciple from the same sect, he is evil, we absolutely cannot allow him to live in this world!¡± Qin Ronger viciously said! ¡°Next, I will ask you a few questions, Qin Ronger, you answer truthfully.¡± Tan Wuchuan nodded, then as thew enforcement elder, he began to inquire: ¡°First, this morning when you entered the abyss of Teng snakes with other four disciples, all of your cultivation levels were just at Wudao fifthyer and even if you fivebined forces, you still wouldn¡¯t have been to take on Teng snake king, then tell me, how did you kill Teng snake king?¡± When this question was suddenly thrown at her by Tan Wuchuan, Qin Ronger¡¯s tone suddenly stagnated a bit, but then she immediately replied: ¡°We used sharp thorn vines to first consume the strength of Teng snake king then killed it.¡± Long Yu, who was standing nearby, sneered and thought that this woman really knew how to brag! ¡°Second.¡± Tan Wuchuan didn¡¯t care to talk about Long Yu and continued to inquire: ¡°How Tianque was able to rush in time, did you send out the signal?¡± At this point, Qin Ronger did not deny and directly nodded: ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Third, how did this boy beat Qin Tianque?¡± When asking this question, Tan Wuchuan¡¯s gaze was focused on Long Yu while there was a stern look on his face. ¡°He used a very sinister method, he sshed the visceral fluids of Teng snake king on the body of my brother, and led him towards the trap of sharp thorn vines, and these vines consumed his strength¡­¡­ Finally, Elder Tan can also see, he kicked my brother on the head and killed him!¡± Qin Ronger said and was ferociously staring at Long Yu. ¡°You three, what Qin Ronger just said, is that true?¡± Tan Wuchuan immediately shifted his attention towards the three outer disciples. The trio pondered that if Qin Tianque was the disciple of Elder Tan, then he would certainly be anxious to quickly eradicate Long Yu right? ¡°In the previous matter of killing Teng snake king, we did not participate, so we can¡¯t say for sure, but Brother Qin indeed was trapped by this boy¡¯s dirty trick and killed by his kick!¡± The three said in unison. ¡°I see.¡± Tan Wuchuan snorted then nced at Long Yu: ¡°Long Yu, do you want to say something in your defense?¡± Long Yu! Until this time, Qin Ronger and the three outer disciples didn¡¯t know the identity of Long Yu. So, it turned out to be the famous new disciple who sent a core disciple like Feng Yun flying like a ball? Bewildered expressions appeared on the faces of all four. Just two weeks ago, this Long Yu defeated Fang Kang, who was at Wudao sixthyer. And now, he killed Qin Tianque, who was at the Wudao seventhyer, just how could his progress be so fast? In order to step from Wudao fifthyer into the Wudao sixthyer, ordinary martial cultivators needed at least three to four month¡¯s time, moreover this Long Yu¡¯s battle efficiency seemed much higher than ordinary warriors at Wudao sixthyer! This person, wasn¡¯t he actually a monster? Qin Ronger and other three disciples were still in a state of shock, and at this time, Long Yu replied with an indifferent look on his face: ¡°Elder Tan can judge on his own, why ask me? Not to mention, there are still traces left of fighting with Teng snake king, why doesn¡¯t Elder Tan go and investigate, you will probably discover the facts! ¡° ¡°I will personally check the facts.¡± Tan Wuchuan lightly said: ¡°But now, you wille with me to visit thew enforcement hall.¡± He made these remarks without giving any chance to Long Yu to exin his situation! Long Yu slightly frowned and some doubts suddenly appeared in his heart. If Tan Wuchuan really wanted to kill him, then why did he stop the other three disciples from attacking him? But if Tan Wuchuan was really thew enforcement elder, so now, it was impossible that he would not give Long Yu an opportunity to exin himself, rather he wanted to take him tow enforcement hall without investigating the scene? This behavior of Tan Wuchuan was really strange. Long Yu thought and could not help but specte. This Elder Tan was trying to set him up while inquiring others to make this whole thing look more impartial to other people? While at this time, theughter of a haughty man spread from one side of the woods. ¡°Ha ha ha -¡° Apanied by the sound ofughter, a mysterious man dressed in ck leotard suddenly appeared. He had a handsome face with an insolent smile spread on it and a very domineering gait. He seemed to have taken only two to three steps, but the next moment, he already came in front of Tan Wuchuan! Long Yu looked up and saw a ck mysterious who seemed to be roughly 20 years old, profound eyes and very attractive demeanor. Although this mysterious youth and Qin Tianque looked of simr age, but his cultivation had already reached an unfathomable level, and Long Yu wasn¡¯t able to differentiate between the cultivation levels of Tan Wuchuan and this mysterious youth! When the mysterious man suddenly appeared whileughing loudly, theplexion on Tan Wuchuan¡¯s face suddenly changed. ¡°Why have youe here?¡± Tan Wuchuan asked in a somewhat inwardly angry tone and it seemed that he really disliked this mysterious youth for sticking his nose into someone else¡¯s business. ¡°I hit it off pretty well with Brother Long Yu, so I must take him away.¡± The ck clothed youth was crossing his hands behind his back and looking at Long Yu with a smile on his face: ¡°I witnessed everything that happened today, so you do not need to trouble yourself with further investigation!¡± ¡°The matteres under the jurisdiction of myw enforcement hall.¡± Tan Wuchuan sneered and said: ¡°If you want to intervene, you should also think clearly about the consequences! A moment ago, Qin Ronger has described the whole matter in detail, as for the fact, I would naturally get to the bottom of it.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Mysterious man proudly smiled and in just one step, he came near Tan Wuchuan: ¡°Elder Tan, Qin Tianque was your disciple and it makes sense that you want to take revenge for him, but why were you putting on such a hypocritical show just a moment ago? If Elder Tan wants to invert right and wrong, I am afraid it won¡¯t be easy, especially when I am here!¡± As these words came out, Tan Wuchuan¡¯splexion suddenly changed, but standing nearby, Long Yu finally understood. Sure enough! This mysterious man was following him from the very beginning and knew the whole story. But, who was this mysterious man? It was obvious just from looking at his young appearance that he wasn¡¯t too old, so how could he have such a in talk without fearing thew enforcement elder? Long Yu could not guess the identity of this mysterious youth, perhaps someone rted to Elder Yu, old ck or maybe old white? In Zhentian Sect, Long Yu only knew these three elders who had the qualifications to confront thew enforcement elder! Chapter 28 – Blizzard boots Chapter ¨C 28 Blizzard boots Long Yu secretly noticed that Tan Wuchuan¡¯splexion had paled after hearing the words of the mysterious youth. The mysterious youth¡¯s words had made Tan Wuchuan extremely ufortable in his heart. ¡°You don¡¯t go too far, you say I, Tan Wuchuan, want to invert right and wrong?¡± At this time, Tan Wuchuan got very angry, as if the mysterious man¡¯s words had insulted him in front of everyone. ¡°Ha ha!¡± Mysterious youthughed: ¡°Elder Tan, everyone is well aware of your intentions, why beat around the bush? Anyways, I will take my leave now!¡¯¡¯ The mysterious youth said these words, and in a sh, he moved and the next instant, Long Yu felt as if he was soaring in the clouds and riding the mist, and at a speed three or four times faster than Long Yu¡¯s speed while using flickering wind step at its peak level. At that time, Tan Wuchuan couldn¡¯t even prevent the mysterious youth from taking Long Yu away, and in a blink of an eye, both the mysterious youth and Long Yu disappeared from the spot without a trace. ¡°Elder Tan, who was that person, why was he behaving so arrogantly?¡± Helplessly watching Long Yu being carried away by the mysterious youth, Qin Ronger wasn¡¯t feeling well in her heart and couldn¡¯t help but asked loudly. ¡°He is the strongest core disciple of Zhentian Sect.¡± Tan Wuchuan said in a cold voice and then immediately leaned to see Qin Tianque¡¯s dead body with a look of distress in his eyes: ¡°Since that person has already intervened in this matter, now, I cannot help you anymore¡­¡­¡± ¡°Elder Tan, do you mean this matter will be considered as finished?¡¯¡¯ Qin Ronger¡¯s heart was not ready to resign, and suddenly, there emerged a vicious color in her eyes. ¡°How can it be considered as finished?¡± Tan Wuchuan loudly snorted, because he didn¡¯t have a favorable impression about Qin Ronger and said in a cold voice: ¡°Even after today¡¯s incident, you still don¡¯t know repentance? Look at Qin Tianque¡¯s face, don¡¯t you feel embarrassed, tomorrow morning, you pack up your things and leave Zhentian Sect.¡± Just because Qin Tianque was his own disciple, he was going to overlook the truth and finish this matter once and forever. But now, taking revenge was absolutely hopeless due to the unexpected interference. Qin Tianque was already dead and regarding the main culprit Qin Ronger, Tan Wuchuan naturally didn¡¯t have a favorable impression. As thew enforcement elder, experienced in dealing with such matters, Tan Wuchuan certainly knew about the whole thing, and understood that all of this happened because of the ungrateful and greedy attitude of Qin Ronger! When Qin Ronger heard his words, she was suddenly stupefied. ¡°Elder Tan¡­¡­¡± She widened her eyes in astonishment because she couldn¡¯t understand why an elder like Tan Wuchuan could not dare to go against a core disciple. In front of an elder, how was the strongest core disciple different from other disciples of the Zhentian Sect? Qin Ronger just couldn¡¯t understand no matter how much she tried to figure it out. Why was thew enforcement elder of Zhentian Sect afraid of a core disciple? However, Tan Wuchuan would certainly not give an exnation to her. ¡°Listen you four, about today¡¯s incident, you are not allowed to disclose to anybody, otherwise¡­¡­..¡± An ominous light shed in Tan Wuchuan¡¯s fierce eyes and swept over Qin Ronger and other three outer disciples. ¡°The disciple, the disciple understands!¡± Except Qin Ronger, the other three disciples immediately replied in a frightened manner. If this thing spread out then it would obviously have a bad impact on the reputation of Tan Wuchuan, so, these disciples would certainly not dare to disseminate carelessly. ¡°Remember your words.¡± An intention to kill shed in Tan Wuchuan¡¯s eyes then he immediately lowered his head and looked at the corpse of Qin Tianque, and this intention to kill suddenly intensified. Obviously, he didn¡¯t intend to give up on his revenge, but for now, he needed to bear it patiently! He picked up the corpse of Qin Tianque, and step by step walked in the direction of Zhentian Sect. His purple robe was moving with the wind, and in a sh, his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot. In the abyss of Teng snakes, the curtain finally dropped on a soul-stirring contention¡­¡­ ¡­¡­ Long Yu was taken away by that mysterious youth, and at a lightning speed, they quickly reached the bottom of Zhentian canyon. ¡°Long Yu, I¡¯ll drop you off here, I have already informed the old couple and they shoulde to receive you soon.¡± At that time, there was an expression of appreciation in the eyes of that mysterious youth while he was looking at Long Yu said in an encouraging tone: ¡°Your fighting talent is superb, and perhaps in the near future, you¡¯ll be a formidable rival.¡± ¡°Senior is over praising me, also many thanks to the senior for saving me today.¡± Long Yu endured the pain in his broken leg and said while cupping his hands across his chest. ¡°Oh, don¡¯t call me senior, do I look very old to you?¡± The mysterious youth said with a smile on his face: ¡°I am same as you, a disciple of Zhentian Sect, but I am a core disciple so you can call me brother!¡± Core disciple! When Long Yu heard this, he suddenly gawked for a moment. Was this mysterious youth really just a core disciple of Zhentian Sect? Long Yu initially thought that he was an elder. By only depending on his status as a core disciple, he was able to suppress Tan Wuchuan, just how terrifyingly strong he actually was! In contrast to him, Feng Yun, who was also a core disciple, seemed too weak! In Tianyu continent, strength was everything and even if this mysterious youth was only a core disciple, so long as he possessed more strength than Tan Wuchuan, their respective statuses didn¡¯t matter. This was the advantage that came hand in hand with formidable strength. Otherwise, perhaps today, it would have been impossible for Long Yu to get out of trouble, but now, with the help of the neidan of Teng snake king, he not only stepped into the Wudao sixthyer, but also returned safely, and not just that, he also managed to obtain the battle weapon of Qin Tianque, Xuan wind seal, so it was a long row of harvests that he obtained today in the abyss of Teng snakes. All of this was made possible because of the generosity of that mysterious youth. ¡°Brother, please tell your name, someday, I will surelye to thank you and return the favor.¡± Long Yu immediately said because he really wanted to find out the name of this mysterious youth. ¡°Ha ha, names are trivial, are they really worth mentioning? Anyways, I will leave first, hope to see you again!¡± The youthughed, then turned around and disappeared. When the mysterious youth suddenly vanished, Long Yu was somewhat at loss and kept on thinking, why didn¡¯t this guy tell his name? Why did he suddenly appear to help him? Long Yu absolutely didn¡¯t want to believe that the mysterious youth saved him after seeing his potential. ¡°Is this rted to Feng Yun?¡¯¡¯ At the level of core disciples, Long Yu could only think of Feng Yun. Maybe this mysterious youth and Feng Yun had some enmity, so the mysterious youth deliberately paid attention to him, and appeared to help him? ¡°Or maybe this is once again rted to my father?¡± Long Yu gave it much thought but it was impossible to guess the truth, and soon, at that moment, a tender young girl d in blue dress came down along the mountain road of the canyon, it was Liao Lele! ¡°Long Yu, what is this, you went out for an afternoon and broke your leg again?¡± Liao Lele was called by old white and she saw Long Yu in a half kneeling position, so how could she not guess what happened to him. She quickly approached him and an angry look appeared on her beautiful face: ¡°Your strength is not enough, you only know how to kill, and now you broke your leg again, it seems it will take at least two weeks time to recover thoroughly.¡¯¡¯ ¡°Two weeks time is enough, just in time to participate in thepetition at Royal Ancient Ginseng forest.¡± Long Yu exined himself and said: ¡°In fact, other people were trying to bully me, don¡¯t you think I should take the initiative to teach a lesson to those who try to bully me?¡± ¡°Yeah right, now quickly go back with me.¡± Liao Lele rolled her eyes, helped him up and gradually walked towards the summit. Although Liao Lele did not read between the lines, but Long Yu always felt a sense of warmth from this tender girl, making him have a feeling of being concerned about her. And especially this time when he got injured, he was happy that Liao Lele came to pick him up and also seemed concerned about his injuries, and it once again narrowed the distance between the two and brought them closer. ¡­¡­ Ten dayster, at the summit of Zhentian canyon. By this time, Long Yu¡¯s leg injury had already healed, and since this time, there wasn¡¯t a flesh wound unlikest time, his injured leg healed quite rapidly. Moreover, old white gave him a top grade immortality pill which helped him in fully recovering his leg injury within ten days. However, this time, old white clearly stated if he got seriously injured again, then next time, the immortality pill might not work on him, and in that case, he would have to wait a few months to recover fully, as it happened in the case of Feng Yun! In this regard, although Long Yu felt somewhat sorry, but if he had to choose between death and broken leg, then he would take the same action once again. Moreover, he finally obtained a battle weapon, Xuan wind seal. But, old white said that Xuan wind seal was not suitable for Long Yu, so he secretly took away Xuan wind seal from Long Yu, and said he would go to the Sect and get a better suited battle weapon for him in exchange for this one. But, ten days had psed and old white still hadn¡¯t informed him about this matter, so Long Yu was a bit anxious. Early in the morning, Long Yu could not help but went out of the bamboo room impatiently, and saw old white sitting near the cliff and leisurely drinking tea. ¡°Old white.¡± Long Yu stepped forward and asked: ¡°You said that when my leg injury will fully heal, you will tell me the name of that brother.¡± ¡°Do you really want to know his name?¡± Old white stroked his beard and chuckled. ¡°I am still expecting to learn his name from elder.¡± Long Yu cupped his hands across his chest and gave a salute to old white. During these ten days while he was recuperating, two things had continued to bother him, one was the taking away of his battle weapon by old white and the other was the identity of that mysterious core disciple. ¡°Then I¡¯ll tell you.¡± Old white¡¯s eyes revealed an interesting look: ¡°He is the strongest core disciple of Zhentian Sect, and is also one of the nine young masters of Tang State, and his name is Bu Xing!¡± The strongest core disciple of Zhentian Sect! One of the nine young masters of Tang State! Long Yu was surprised for a moment because he never thought that the identity of that mysterious youth would be so amazing, that he would actually be famous throughout Tang State! However when he heard the name of the youth old white, he could not help but gawked for a moment. Bu Xing? (Mystique: Bu Xing -> ¡®incapable¡¯) ¡°Bu Xing, Bu means walking, Xing means capable, so his name means ¡®capable of walking¡¯.¡± Old White exined. ¡°¡­¡­¡± Long Yu was still wondering, who actually gave him such a name? No wonder at that time, he didn¡¯t tell his name! A talented man like him named Bu Xing (incapable)? Yet it turned out to be capable of walking! ¡°Long Yu, I¡¯m going to remind you, you must never mention his name in front of him, just call him ¡®brother¡¯.¡± Old white old paused for a moment then said in a somewhat serious tone: ¡°Do you understand?¡± ¡°En, I clearly understand.¡± Long Yu was already aware of this. ¡°Well then, you try this battle weapon, I just brought it for you, it¡¯s called Blizzard boots.¡± Old white nodded with satisfaction then stretched his hand and Blizzard boots appeared in front of Long Yu. Blizzard boots? Long Yu¡¯s face suddenly brightened after looking at the Blizzard boots. Was this the battle weapon which was supposedly better suited for him ording to old white? ¡°Battle weapons and immortality pills are divided into low grade, high grade, top grade and so on, but Zhentian Sect awards only low grade battle weapons to its disciples.¡¯¡¯ Old white said in a casual manner: ¡°Blizzard boots is actually a low-grade battle weapon, but it is the also the most precious one among the low-grade battle weapons, go try it and you will automatically understand.¡± ¡°En, thank you old white.¡± Long Yu took the pair of snow-white boots and carefully observed them. He saw that the whole body of this pair of boots was white in color, and was entirely made up of ice crystals. Right after wearing, it gave a feeling of chill to the wearer and an ice-cold air spread in the surrounding, which truly made it worthy of being called Blizzard boots. But he still didn¡¯t know what its effects would be after he would wear the Blizzard boots. Chapter 29 – Demon Tyrant form Da Cheng Chapter ¨C 29 Demon Tyrant form Da Cheng After obtaining Blizzard boots, Long Yu could not wait any longer and impatiently put them on to test the effects of this battle weapon. Suddenly, ice-cold piercing breathpletely surrounded his feet, and he could not help but shudder, but there was a color of joy in his eyes. Because he could clearly feel that after wearing these Blizzard boots, the ice-cold qi being released from them could enhance his speed! ¡°I have already practiced the flickering wind step to the peak level, and coupled with this pair of Blizzard boots, now my speed will most probably increase and reach two times of what it was before!¡± Long Yu thought, then immediately, his body became light like the breeze and shuttled forward, disying the peak level of flickering wind step. Looking at Long Yu¡¯s ultra-fast speed, standing nearby, Liao Lele¡¯s eyes were dazzling and filled with astonishment. She was secretly thinking that although this boy was reckless and stupid at times, always picking fights, but hisprehension speed of martial skills was really too fast. Liao Lele had joined Zhentian Sect three days before Long Yu, but now, she was still at the Wudao fourthyer, and as far asprehension of martial skills was concerned, she only chose flickering wind step and had only practiced it to the Xiao Cheng level. In short, she was too far behind Long Yu. ¡°Every battle weapon is capable of having intelligence and spiritual existence.¡± When Long Yu was familiarizing himself with the Blizzard boots, standing on one side, old white exined in a leisurely and carefree manner: ¡°If you are together with this battle weapon for a long time, then you will be able to be on good terms with it, and only then, you can harness the deeper strength hidden inside this battle weapon, and this can even allow the battle weapon to attain self-awareness, however, you will have to be on good terms with it which is not an easy task. And, I cannot teach you how to do that and you can only figure it out on your own. ¡° He needed to be on good terms with his battle weapon? When Long Yu heard this, he was a bit surprised, so every battle weapon was capable of having intelligence and could obtain self-awareness? This information actually shocked him a bit, because he never thought that the battle weapon under his feet wasn¡¯t just an ordinary fighting weapon. He did not know that battle weapons in this Tianyuan continent were actually so unusual. However about this matter, he had never heard before, and now there was an issue of getting on good terms with his battle weapon which was supposedly quite difficult to attain. At least, the battle weapon that Feng Longsong lent to Feng Yao was a high grade battle weapon, Bing copper double-edged sword, but it certainly didn¡¯t possess intelligence. ¡°First, I should concentrate on preparing myself before going to the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest in five days, in just five days, I will practice ¡®Demon tyrant form¡¯, and as far as ¡®flickering wind step¡¯ is concerned, temporarily, there¡¯s no scope left to enhance it¡­¡­¡± Long Yu nned his course of action for these four days. First, he spent a day to get used to his new speed offered by Blizzard boots, and then in the bamboo room, he began toprehend Demon tyrant form! In the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, in addition to the talented disciples of Zhentian Sect, he would also encounter the talented disciples of Hanbing Sect and Qiansi Sect, two of the seven major Sects of Tang State. And Long Yu¡¯s acquaintance, Feng Yao, was a disciple in Hanbing Sect. ¡°At least, I will make sure to not lose to that Feng Yao!¡± Long Yu thought to himself, because thest time Feng Yao returned to Feng n, she sent two servants to kill him, and at that time, she was already at Wudao seventhyer, moreover, she also obtained the Bing copper sword of Feng Longsong, so it was obvious that her battle efficiency was going to be extremely formidable. One must know, Feng Longsong¡¯s Bing copper sword was actually a high grade battle weapon and was much more formidable than Qin Tianque¡¯s Xuan wind seal. It was not easy to breakthrough from a Wudaoyer so it could be assumed that Feng Yao was still at the Wudao seventhyer, but she could still use the formidable power of Bing copper sword, making her more formidable than Qin Tianque, who also used to be at Wudao seventhyer. Long Yu knew that if couldn¡¯t reach the Da Cheng level of Demon Tyrant form then he would absolutely not be Feng Yao¡¯s opponent. If he wanted to reach the Xiao Cheng level of Demon tyrant form, then he would have to quench and refine his muscles and bones using the Xuan qi in his body. If he wanted to reach the Da Cheng level, they he would have to use Xuan qi to refine his flesh, however, these two processes were extremely painful! However regarding the pain, Long Yu didn¡¯t care at all because so long as he could endure and get through these two stages, he would be able to reach the Da Cheng level of Demon tyrant form, and then, his body¡¯s anti-attack capability would increase several times. This sacrifice was worth it. ¡°Xuan qi, refining muscles and bones!¡± Long Yu was sitting on a bamboo bed, Xuan qi was circting in his whole body and seeping into his muscles, prating into his bones, and he was feeling a painful itching feeling in his entire body, making him unable to bear the pain, so he tightly clenched his teeth to resist. The pain in his muscles and bones was hundred times fiercer than the pain when Xuan qi would circte in his meridians! To quench the muscles and bones, if one didn¡¯t have extraordinary willpower, then it was absolutely impossible to go through this process, however this was Long Yu and the thing he didn¡¯tck at all was sheer willpower and dedication! When Long Yu was practicing, Liao Lele would asionallye to check if he was alright, but whenever she saw the look of pain on his face, she couldn¡¯t help but be somewhat worried for him. Old white had already informed her that practicing a body refining type martial skills was an iparably painful process and Liao Lele was worried that something might go wrong in Long Yu¡¯s practice. However even so, Liao Lele was unable to bear the pain of love. (Mystique: O_O) ¡°Come on.¡± Liao Lele was silently praying in her heart for Long Yu. After two days, Long Yu finally stopped quenching his muscles and bones and finally got rid of this painful process. He was finally able to reach the Xiao Cheng level of Demon tyrant form and this was all thanks to his indomitable willpower. ¡°After reaching the Xiao Cheng level of Demon tyrant form, my basic strength has also grown a lot. Moreover, the anti-attack capability of my body has greatly strengthened.¡± Long Yu¡¯s eyes shed with a hint of determination in them: ¡°Now if attacked by someone at the same strength level or below, they can only hurt my flesh, but they cannot destroy my muscles and bones!¡± If the Demon tyrant form was practiced to the Da Cheng level, it would be simr to turning one¡¯s flesh into iron, and even if he was under a heavy attack from a master at the Wudao fifthyer, he would simply feel ticklish! In the description of Demon tyrant form, Long Yu also read that after reaching the Da Cheng level, one would be able to congeal the Demon Vajra cover on the body, which would then give super defense capabilities. Even if he had not reached the Wudao seventhyer and couldn¡¯t release Xuan qi out of his body, but using the Demon Vajra cover on his body surface, he would be enough to withstand the impact of all the same level martial skills. ¡°I must achieve the Da Cheng level of Demon tyrant form.¡± There was a firm and resolute look in Long Yu¡¯s eyes, he simply had no time to rest and immediately started the next phase of practice. This time, he was going to use Xuan qi to quench his flesh. He had just started to practice, but suddenly, his whole skin seemed to have started to crack, and from these cracks, blood was unceasingly oozing out! It was as if someone was delimiting his skin with hundreds of knifes. At this time, the pain he was suffering could be imagined! The pain of his skin cracking was simply unbearable and Long Yu was clenching his teeth to withstand it. This was a painful process of shedding skin, but oncepleted, Long Yu would be like a butterfly that just came out of its cocoon, with brand-new flesh, and tough enough to resist a sword! Long Yu spent three days and three nights constantly in pain, but three dayster, his flesh finally had a transformation. There was ayer of broken skin and meat spread under the bamboo bed, but after finishing the quenching process of his flesh, Long Yu grew back a new baby-like skin, smooth but tough like iron, and when Xuan qi was condensed on it, it could be extremely tough. ¡°Da Cheng level of Demon tyrant form, meridians, bones, muscles and flesh, all have been refined by Xuan qi, and now, the body seems impregnable. If someone intends to hurt me, they must be at least stronger than me!¡± Moreover, in addition to the toughness granted by the Da Cheng level of Demon tyrant form, he could also condense Xuan qi on his body to congeal the Demon vajra cover, which could instantly increase his defensive strength. The anti-attack strength of Demon vajra cover was enough to resist against the Xuan wind destroyer martial skill of Qin Tianque or the wind-des released by Xuan wind seal! Of course, a lot of Xuan qi was consumed to maintain the Demon vajra cover, so Long Yu would only use it at the most crucial moment. He opened his eyes, got down the bamboo bed, and a look of satisfaction finally appeared on his face. Now, if he ran into martial skills of a Wudao seventhyer master like Qin Tianque, then fighting would not be so difficult, at least he won¡¯t receive any heavy injuries. After reaching the Da Cheng level of Demon tyrant form, the strength of his body increased from initial strength of 35,000 Jin to 42000 Jin, and this enhancement rate was quite impressive. ¡°Next, I must go to the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, and strive to capture the top grade ancient ginseng, then, I should be able to step into the Wudao seventhyer, and after that, I will be also able to release Xuan qi from my body!¡± Long Yu thought that he must take advantage of this opportunity of participating in the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest to increase his strength by leaps and bounds! ¡­¡­ At this moment, the chosen few disciples of Zhentian Sect had assembled at the bottom of Zhentian canyon to go to the ¡®Royal Ancient Ginseng forest¡¯. There were a total of fifteen people, and of all of them had their ages below 20 years old, and in addition to that, each of them was at least at the Wudao sixthyer. ¡°Feng Qianqian, that waste of your Feng n is also going to the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, why hasn¡¯t hee yet?¡± In the group of disciples, with a face as sharp as a knife, truncated near the edges and corners, a grandiose man said with an impatient look in his eyes: ¡°Making 15 people wait for him, does he think he is some kind of big shot?¡± This grandiose looking man was Tan Yue¡¯s elder brother, Tan Jian! At present, in Zhentian Sect, Tan Jian was in limelight and was simply unmatched, because a few days ago, he sessfully broke into the Wudao eighthyer and became the strongest inner disciple of Zhentian Sect! And at this time, there were still two months left for Tan Jian to turn 20 years old. It was obvious that his future was limitless and someday, he might break from the Wudao ninthyer and step into another level! His achievements were even more prominent than Feng Yun, and among all the disciples representing Zhentian Sect in thepetition at Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, Tan Jian was the strongest. At this moment, Tan Jian was actually talking to a girl in ck clothes, who had an appearance of 18 years old, and at present, there was an aloof and arrogant look on her face. One could see from her appearance that there was actually a very small resemnce between her and Feng Yang, and it was obvious that she was also a member of Yu Guan City¡¯s Feng n. Feng Qianqian was Feng Yang¡¯s younger sister and although she was still smaller in agepared to him, but her cultivation level was higher than him. She had already stepped into the Wudao seventhyer and was an inner disciple of Zhentian Sect! Hearing the impatient words of Tan Jian, Feng Qianqian shouted loudly: ¡°My Feng n has nothing to do with that waste Long Yu, and if you are so concerned about why he hasn¡¯t arrived yet, you can go and ask the same question from the elder.¡± In front of the group of fifteen disciples, a ck robed old man was sitting in repose with his eyes closed. It was none other than Elder Yu, the elder who guarded Martial Court. However at this moment, Elder Yu did not participate in their discussion. He simply didn¡¯t say a word and no one knew what was going on in his mind right now. Tan Jian was the strongest inner disciple and was naturally qualified enough to talk to elder and ask questions. ¡°Elder Yu, Long Yu still hasn¡¯te, if we got dyed and arrivedte at the Ancient Ginseng forest, who is to me for that?¡± Tan Yu Jian looked at Elder Yu and asked loudly in a swift and fierce tone. ¡°Noting?¡± Elder Yu elders said lightly, and immediately, everybody turned their heads to look and actually saw a young man, d in blue robe, gradually stepping towards the entrance of Zhentian canyon. This blue robed youth was Long Yu, and this time, he was also representing Zhentian Sect in thepetition. And right now, he was d in the blue colored outer disciple¡¯s uniform of Zhentian Sect. When Long Yu appeared in front of everyone, stern looks shed in the eyes of many people. And among them, Feng Qianqian and Tan Jian were the most obvious ones because they were not at all concealing the killing intention in their eyes while they were staring at Long Yu. Chapter 30 – Princess of Qiansi Chapter ¨C 30 Princess of Qiansi Long Yu¡¯s perception regarding the killing intention was extremely sensitive and he immediately saw the figures of Feng Qianqian and Tan Jian and recognized them. ¡°These must be Feng Qianqian and Tan Jian, so they are also going¡­¡­¡± Long Yu maintained hisposure and walked slowly step by step. ¡°Waste, you injured my elder brother Feng Yang, in this tour to the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, I will make you pay for sure.¡¯¡¯ Feng Qianqian sneered and said to Long Yu in a threatening tone. ¡°Until now, you¡¯re still calling me as ¡®waste¡¯, but your brother Feng Yang could not beat me then isn¡¯t he more of a waste than me?¡± Long Yu refused to admit himself as inferior and immediately resorted to a verbal counterattack! ¡°Sharp tongue can¡¯t save you, I hope your talks and your strength are equally tough.¡¯¡¯ Feng Qianqian sneered to say beautifully and turned away to depart. She scorned at Long Yu and twisted her lips, she was at Wudao seventhyer, so in her eyes, Long Yu was a mere waste and simply did not have any qualifications to talk to her. What she didn¡¯t know was that two weeks ago, Long Yu had not only defeated but also killed Qin Tianque, who was also at the Wudao seventhyer like her! Compared to Feng Qianqian, Tan Jian, who was standing nearby seemed much more matured. He had already entered the Wudao eightyer, this burly man didn¡¯t say a single word, just gave a stern look to Long Yu and it was like his killing intention had substantially enveloped him! He was a confident person, didn¡¯t even bother to say anything, and only with his eyes he gave a warning to Long Yu. Long Yu dared to injure Tan Yue, kicked and broke her leg, and Tan Jian was her elder brother, so how could he possibly spare him? There was no need to say that in the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forestpetition, he was surely going to take strong action against Long Yu. Tan Jian¡¯s eyes were filled with intention to kill him, but Long Yu remained unmoved. This Tan Jian was still inexperienced! Long Yu simply did not care about all these things and stepped forward and joined the group, and was ready to go. Because, they were about to go to the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, so all these disciples of Zhentian Sect were very much excited and simply did not care about the short conflict between Long Yu, Feng Qianqian and Tan Jian. This was a group of 15 people, and in addition to it, there were Long Yu and Elder Yu, altogether 17 people were going to represent Zhentian Sect in Royal Ancient Ginseng Forestpetition. Everyone was riding a horse enabling them to quickly reach their destination. ¡°If you want to achieve the realm of martial arts in the legend, the harmony of heaven and man is a must, and then you can also fly in the sky, but it is only a pity that in the entire Tang State, such persons are very few¡­¡­¡­.¡¯¡¯ Elder Yu was looking into distance and was riding on a fierce horse, and said which seemed like he did unintentionally, but in reality, he deliberately said those words just to make this group of 16 people aware of this fact. The harmony of heaven and man, just how formidable was the realm of martial arts? It was unattainable even for such a powerful elder! ¡°I¡¯m old and the realm of martial arts is vast, but for kids like you, there are infinite possibilities in the world of martial arts.¡± Elder Yu was not looking at them but his discourse was clearly introduced to each ear: ¡°The Royal Ancient Ginseng forest is only a minor stop on the way of Wudao, but if you encounter any danger you must give priority to your own life, do you understand?¡± ¡°Yes¡± Everyone in the group nodded. Wudao was a way in which strength was respected, but the strength also relied on the basis of life. Without life, what would be the use of talking about Wudao and strength? Everybody understood this fact! But this was going to be a big chance on the way of Wudao and no one was able to maintain their calmness, by that time, for the sake of gaining more strength, everyone would choose to go all out without caring about their lives. The group continued to ride on fierce horses on the way to the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest was located in the distant ce in the northern direction of Zhentian sect, and even on the horseback, they would be able to reach there in ten days. Back and forth was going to take twenty days of journey, in addition to it, ten days longpetition in the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, so all this was going to be an affair for a month in total. ¡°And aftering back from Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, the annualpetition of Feng n would also be starting soon¡­¡­¡­¡­¡¯¡¯ Long Yu thought to himself and started secretly observing the disciples of Zhentian Sect who were travelling with him. Excluding him, there were 15 people, who were all inner disciples of Zhentian Sect, and among them, there were either Wudao sixthyer disciples or Wudao seventhyer disciples and only Tan Jian was at Wudao eightyer and possessed iparably tyrannical strength. Properly speaking, relying on his strength, Tan Jian could try to challenge one of the core disciples of Zhentian Sect, and after defeating them, he could be a core disciple, but he actually did not do so. In Zhentian Sect, there were one hundred and eight core disciples in total, and if an inner disciple wanted to be a core disciple, he must challenge one of the core disciples, and after a sessful challenge, he would be able to be the substitute for defeated core disciple. But, perhaps Tan Jian wanted to wait till his return from Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, because by then, his strength would have increased once again, and with his new enhanced strength, he would challenge a core disciple, and in that case, he would be able to get a higher ranking in the first try, after all, one could get an opportunity to challenge a core disciple once in every half-year time. ¡°Inparison, bing an inner disciple is much simpler.¡± Long Yu thought because it was only needed for one to step into the Wudao sixthyer. After that, an elder would perform an inspection and after passing, one could be the inner disciple of Zhentian sect. After bing an inner disciple, the Sect would reward him with a low-grade battle weapon to increase his strength. However, Long Yu already had Blizzard boots as his battle weapon and there was not much difference between it and the battle weapons rewarded to other inner disciples. This time, the selected group of 16 disciples, which was to represent Zhentian Sect in the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, didn¡¯t have any core disciple in it, and it didn¡¯t mean that the core disciples were not strong, but because of the ages of these core disciples had already surpassed 20 years, hence they didn¡¯t have the qualifications to enter Royal Ancient Ginseng Forestpetition. ¡°It seems ording to rumors, this time, a talented core disciple of Qiansi Sect is participating in Royal Ancient Ginseng Forestpetition, but who knows what their cultivation levels actually are and how much stronger they are inparison to Tan Jian.¡± Long Yu was secretly thinking and slightly had some anticipation. So long as he was able to reach to Wudao seventhyer, no matter what, even Tan Jian, who was at the Wudao eightyer, would not be able to hurt him, but the opportunity to step into the Wudao seventhyer very much depended on the sess in the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forestpetition. If he managed to collect a few ancient ginsengs and absorb their Lingqi then stepping into the Wudao seventhyer would not be a difficult task. Horses were galloping all the way through wilderness, open fields under the blue sky filled with white clouds! During this period, Long Yu was idling and had started toprehend the Zhentian tactics that he learnt in the Martial Court but was able to reach the beginner¡¯s level only. As Elder Yu had exined to him, Zhentian tactics actually contained the corew, created by the founder of Zhentian sect and contained high level world principles and if Long Yu was able to reach a higher level of understanding of it then it would obviously increase his battle strength and efficiency. Unfortunately, over the past ten days, Long Yu did not have much progress and just managed to slightly strengthen the Zhentian mysterious mood. ¡°It seems like theprehension of Zhentian charm is very difficult, no wonder only the core disciples of Zhentian sect are able toprehend Zhentian mysterious mood ¡­¡­¡± Long Yu was not discouraged that he had been unable to have a breakthrough, after all, he recently stepped into the world of Wudao, and so long as he was given enough time, he believed he would not be worse than anyone else. After ten days, an old city constructed on a hillside appeared in front of everyone! ¡°Royal Ancient Ginseng City, it was built by the royal n of Tang State. And the authentic members of royal n live here and control the city. Royal Ancient Ginseng forest is located behind the city.¡± After arriving outside the Royal Ancient Ginseng City, Elder Yu exined to the group. Long Yu looked towards Royal Ancient Ginseng City and was surprised to find that this city was much smaller than Yu Guan city, but it had thicker walls probably built specially in order to protect Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. In the past, the members of royal n and disciples of major sects stayed in this city before entering Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. The Royal Ancient City gate was closed. Elder Yu rode forward and shouted facing the city gate: ¡°Zhentian Sect¡¯s Shuiyun Yu has led the disciples so far!¡± With a loud bang, the giant city gate immediately opened, allowing them to pass. ¡°Come on.¡± Elder Yu turned and led the group on their horsebacks into Royal Ancient Ginseng City. When they entered the city, the first thing that Long Yu saw was a spacious street made up of ancient brickwork, leading all the way to the mountain ranges behind the city, and in the centre of the streets, a ck shadow was standing and unexpectedly impressively! Long Yu looked at it and was immediately shocked, because that ck shadow was too strange! Although, it looked like a graceful stature of a beautiful woman, but Long Yu was sure that it was definitely not a person, but was merely a human like shadow existence. But, that shadow even was able to stand up and could block the paths of the disciples of Zhentian Sect, it was really very bizarre. ¡°This is a person of Qiansi Sect.¡¯¡¯ In the group of Zhentian sect, some people started whispering among themselves. Qiansi Sect? Long Yu heard and frowned, just what was the background of this Qiansi Sect, that its people could actually make a shadow stand erect like this? While everyone¡¯s mind was racing at that time, that standing shadow suddenly spoke! It was a nice and crisp voice of a girl, who said with some contempt: ¡°You are the disciples of Zhentian Sect, you don¡¯t look formidable, it seems like your levels are even worse inparison to the disciples of Hanbing Sect.¡¯¡¯ It was extremely strange to see a ck shadow talking! When the disciples of Zhentian Sect heard this, all of them were unhappy. Why did this person say that disciples of Zhentian Sect were not strong and that their strength was worse than the disciples of Hanbing Sect? There was an obviously contempt in her voice and this filled the hearts of the disciples of Zhentian Sect with indignation. Only Tan Jian, with a look of calm color, said lightly: ¡°Could it be that you are the princess of Qiansi?¡¯¡¯ ¡°I can tell that you have good eyesight, well, this princess does not have any interest in you all, so you all may pass!¡± The ck shadow said with a contemptuous smile and then actually fragmented into small pieces in front of them, quickly turned into ck smoke and disappeared, as if she was not there in the first ce. Princess of Qiansi? ¡°Brother Tan Jian, who is the princess of Qiansi?¡± A tall and young Wudao seventhyer disciple of Zhentian sect asked while looking at Tan Jian. ¡°The princess of Qiansi Sect is the daughter of the sovereign of Qiansi Sect, and she is the only core disciple to enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forestpetition this year, perhaps her strength is more than mine.¡¯¡¯ Tan Jian said: ¡°If you run into her in the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, be careful, this woman is cruel and merciless.¡¯¡¯ All of disciples of Zhentian Sect heard this and nodded. They never imagined that just after entering the Royal Ancient Ginseng City, the most powerful disciple of Qiansi Sect woulde personally to warn them and there was an obvious contempt hidden in her disdainful way of talking, whichpletely overshadowed these so-called geniuses. Long Yu didn¡¯t care about this matter, but a genuine curiosity emerged in his heart regarding the precarious martial skill of the princess of Qiansi Sect. What kind of martial skill did the disciples of Qiansi Sect practice that equipped them with a peculiar power to manipte human shadows? Since, these human shadows could speak, so naturally they could also be used inbat. This was a strange ability of the opponent, so Long Yu had premonition that this trip to Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest was going to be extremely difficult! Leading the group, even Elder Yu¡¯splexion had somewhat changed. Chapter 31 – Imperial City’s Liu clan Chapter ¨C 31 Imperial City¡¯s Liu n All the disciples of Zhentian Sect continued to move and arrived at a ce where residential arrangements had been made for them by the Tang Emperor. It was a very fine renovated inn. It actually belonged to the Royal family of Tang State. It was very wide and its space was more than enough to amodate all 17 members of Zhentian Sect. ¡°You have to find your own room to rest, tomorrow morning, be ready to enter Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, and seek for your own chance.¡¯¡¯ Elder Yu exined to the group: ¡°In addition to that, the disciples of Qiansi Sect practice corew based martial art, and you can find material on these martial arts on these bamboo slips, you can watch them on your own, I will not remind you again.¡± Soon, each member of the group received a bamboo slip, on which were inscribed several characteristic features about the peculiarities of Qiansi Sect, and in addition to that, there were also some records on the martial techniques of Hanbing Sect on the bamboo slip. After getting the bamboo slip, Long Yu went to the second floor and found a room for him, and sat near a table and carefully watched the records described on the bamboo slip all alone. ¡°The disciples of Qiansi Sect practice the Corew based shadow tactics, and after its sessful practice, they are be able to manipte their own human shadows in fight, many martial skills branch from it and came into existence, but the art of manipting human shadows is very sinister and ruthlessly fearful, and very difficult to guard against.¡± Manipte one¡¯s own shadow during a fight? Long Yu¡¯s brows slightly wrinkled, and he quickly remembered that some time ago, he saw the human shadow of the so called princess of Qiansi Sect at the city gate. The disciples of Qiansi Sect could separate their bodies and shadow at will, and couldunch attack using these shadows, moreover, these shadows could also speak. It was really very strange. In Tianyu continent, martial cultivators had done several researches on Xuan qi which led to the rise of various schools. In the final analysis, the essence of corew and martial skills of Qiansi sect used Xuan qi to manipte shadow, which was quite a special technique. ¡°This kind of fighting, I have never encountered before, after entering the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, I must always be careful and try to avoid ces with shadows as far as possible, to avoid being sneak attacked ¡­¡­¡± Long Yu thought to himself, and continued to watch the data described on the bamboo slip to get a further understanding of the disciples of Qiansi Sect. As for the martial art of Hanbing Sect and Zhentian Sect, there was not much difference between them. If disciples of Hanbing Heart disciplesprehended the mysterious mood of their sect¡¯s corew, then it would significantly improve their fighting ability. ¡°The Zhentian tactics of Zhentian sect contains the mysterious mood which is based on the world principle of suppression, then the corew of Hanbing sect should contain ice-cold rted world principle, right?¡± (Mystique- Zhentian tactics is the corew of Zhentian sect. Corews are unique to all sects.) Long Yu guessed, during this trip to the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, he should not encounter an opponent who had alreadyprehended mysterious mood of their respective sect, but it was not necessarily true either, so he must be prepared for all situations. He carefully studied the martial characteristics of Qiansi Sect and Hanbing Sect, and kept them in his mind, because this information gathering was very important, and tomorrow, after entering the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, it could save his life. The time passed, and in a sh, several hours had already passed. Someone knocked at the door and Long Yu suddenly heard a voice. ¡°Brother Long Yu, are you in the room?¡± A somewhat familiar voice reached the ears of Long Yu. ¡°It is him?¡± Long Yu heard this voice and remembered that it was the voice of the disciple who was quite active on the way, it was Ling Han. Ling Han, a disciple of Zhentian Sect, now at Wudao seventhyer, could be said the strongest person after Tan Jian in the trip. Long Yu had a good impression about Ling Han, because Tan Jian was hostile to Long Yu, but throughout the way on this trip, Ling Han had showed a friendly gesture to him. Ling Han always desired in his heart about the unity of disciples of Zhentian Sect and hoped that everybody could get a chance to reap benefit in Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest! ¡°Brother Ling Han, what happened?¡± Long Yu thought for a moment then asked loudly. ¡°Well, Brother Long Yu, in a while, the princess of the emperor n of Tang State is going to arrive at Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, I want to go out for a walk with you, if we get a good look at royal princess then that would be awesome!¡± Ling Han, standing at the door, elegantly and courteously said. Royal princess? Long Yu felt a bit of headache, he came across the princess of Qiansi sect at the Royal Ancient Ginseng city gate, and now came the actual royal princess of Tang State, why in the world were so many princessesing to this city? Of course, Long Yu understood that the royal princess, about whom Ling Han was talking about, was the genuine princess and that princess of Qiansi sect was only a hidden title given to her by people. ¡°The royal n of Tang State has built the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest and also controls all of the sevenrge sects of Tang State.¡¯¡¯ Long Yu¡¯s eyes shed with some touch of anticipation. He had vaguely heard before that he was actually an abandoned child of a big aristocratic family of the Imperial city, and sooner orter, he would go to Tang Imperial City to find out his true identity Now, the royal princess was about to arrive, so he might as well have a quick look at her. ¡°Since fellow brother has personallye to invite me, how can I possibly refuse?¡± Long Yu replied and got up to go with him. It was not so that he was really interested in the royal princess, but he actually wanted to have a look at the elegant demeanor of the members of the so-called royal n of Tang State! ¡°Aha, now that brother Long Yu agreed toe with me, we have six people together, let us go!¡± Ling Hanughed. Long Yu opened the door and saw a tall man wearing a white dress and a hat adorned with a jade pendant, he had an elegant temperament, and after looking at him once, a person couldn¡¯t help but have a favorable impression about him. This tall youth was Ling Han. ¡°Brother, they are waiting below, let¡¯s go.¡± Ling Han smiled and turned around to go downstairs. Long Yu was behind him and saw that there were four other people waiting at the door of the inn downstairs, but their cultivation was not as ripe as Long Yu. When they saw Long Yu, all of them had somewhat discontented appearances on their faces, but since they were concerned about Ling Han, and gave him face, so they didn¡¯t say anything. Six people travelled together, and were walking in the chilly streets of Royal Ancient Ginseng City in the cold night. Usually, few people used toe to Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, therefore, the entire city was quite empty, and the whole Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest was actually a back garden constructed by the royal n of Tang State. Therefore, once a year, the emperor of Tang State invited some of the Sects toe and pick ancient ginseng from the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, and in a way, it worked as a training to produce powerful martial artists for the bright future of Tang State. ¡°Hey, it is people of Hanbing Sect.¡± Halfway down the street, they suddenly saw that not far from them, there were four disciples of Hanbing Sect, also walking on the same street. Long Yu gave a casual look to them and was immediately surprised for a moment. He was surprised to find out that among the four disciples of Hanbing Sect, there was a woman wearing a light green dress, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and a bronze sword scabbard was hung around her waist. Feng Yao! Long Yu immediately recognized her. The woman was really Feng Yao, and at that time, she was carrying a bronze long sword, a top grade battle weapon that she had obtained from her father, Feng Longsong. On the side of Feng Yao, there was a handsome youth dressed in fine clothing and was walking side by side and quite close to her, and from this, one could see clearly that both of them must have good rtions. Then, those four disciples of Hanbing Sect naturally saw Long Yu¡¯s group of six people. ¡°Look, the disciples of Zhentian Sect.¡± ¡°The one walking at the forefront is Ling Han right? Looks pretty strong, I do not know his current strength level.¡± Two female disciples of Hanbing Sect suddenly talked to each other. By this time, Feng Yao tilted her head and finally saw Long Yu in the group. When Feng Yao saw Long Yu, she was extremely surprised and suddenly raised her ck eyebrows: ¡°Is he? How is this possible?¡± The handsome young man, who stood by the side of Feng Yao, noticed the sudden change in herplexion and couldn¡¯t help but asked: ¡°Sister Yao, whom did you see?¡± ¡°It is the waste I told you about, but how could he possibly be here?¡± Feng Yao said at will while pressing her eyebrows. ¡°That waste?¡± The handsome youth beside her gawked then immediately followed the line of sight of Feng Yao¡¯s eyes and finally located Long Yu in the group of Zhentian disciples! Long Yu, at this time, was walking behind Ling Han and had an indifferent look in his eyes. Long Yu went out to see royal princess but ran into Feng Yao. Of course, he had long been expecting to see Feng Yao, not now, but he simply did not care. Tonight he came out just to ¡°look reverently¡± at the elegant demeanor of the royal n, so, as far as settling his ount with Feng Yao was concerned, after entering Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, he would have plenty of time to slowly y with her. However, Long Yu didn¡¯t want to pay any attention to the opposite party, actually, he did not want to pay attention to them paying attention to him! Then, Long Yu saw that the handsome youth standing next to Feng Yao sneered and even walked straight towards him. As that youth moved, three other female students of Hanbing Sect, including Feng Yao, would naturally not stand idly and also followed him. Seeing the threatening look on the face of that handsome youth, Ling Han smiled then stepped forward, and actually directly blocked his path: ¡°You are a disciple of Hanbing Sect, if you have something to say, say it but don¡¯t act unreasonably!¡± When that handsome youth of Hanbing Sect heard this, a color of disdain emerged in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand and pointed his finger towards Long Yu and said: ¡°Let that wastee forward, I have something to tell him!¡± Seeing this scene, all four disciples standing on the side of Long Yu went one step back, they didn¡¯t want to get involved in this conflict! At that time, Ling Han still stood in front of Long Yu¡¯s body, and was entirely still, so as to hide Long Yu behind him! ¡°You are in the Royal Ancient Ginseng City, don¡¯t go too far.¡± Ling Han still had a smile on his face as he said, but this time, there was a hint of threat in his tone. Although the opposite party was being aggressive, but he was not made of soft persimmon either, how could he just stand there and face the opposite party¡¯s rude behavior? ¡°Well, Brother Ling Han, let mee forward.¡± Seeing the protective attitude of Ling Han, a warm feeling appeared in the heart of Long Yu. At this time, Ling Han actually had stepped up to help him on his own ord, but how could Long Yu possibly allow Ling Han to get involved in this matter? Moreover, it was Long Yu who had a grudge against Feng Yao, not Ling Han! And Long Yu did not think that Ling Han would be able to solve this matter. ¡°Brother, you ¡­¡­¡± Ling Han turned his head and looked at Long Yu, and clearly saw the bubbling confidence in his eyes, and then said with a soughing smile: ¡°Well said,e forward, show yourself!¡± Ling Han recalled that in Zhentian Sect, how Feng Yun was shot to fly in the air like a ball and was seriously injured! He knew that Long Yu was strong and also had his own secrets. Ling Han was arbitrarily getting involved which actually did not seem proper. ¡°Waste, so you have reallye out of the group, your courage is actually not small, I thought you only know how to hide behind others.¡± When the youth saw Long Yuing forward, a contemptuous smile appeared on his face. But, Long Yu simply did not pay any attention to him. He tilted his head and looked at Feng Yao and asked with a casual smile on his face asked: ¡°Little Yao, long time no see, why do you have a dog on your side that only knows how to bark randomly?¡± Dog that barked randomly! Hearing this sentence, theplexion of that young man instantly changed. How did this waste even dare to call him a barking dog in front of so many people? ¡°He is my cousin, a member of the Liu n of Imperial city, Liu Mingxuan, and like me, he is also a disciple of Hanbing Sect.¡± Feng Yao indifferently said, and at that time, there was a color of taunt in her beautiful pair of eyes, as if she wanted to see how Long Yu would react to this. Imperial City, Liu n, Liu Mingxuan! Long Yu finally knew the identity of this barking dog. So he was actually the cousin of Feng Yao, someone from her maternal side of family! Unexpectedly, Feng Yao¡¯s mother Liu Yu was actually someone from the Imperial City, but how did she get married to Feng Longsong? Did that mean, Feng Longsong had already left his own footprints in the Imperial City? This was getting more and more interesting! Long Yu thought to himself, then, if he wanted to know his true identity, it should particrly not be too difficult. As long as he would go to the Imperial City, he should be able to unravel many puzzles. Chapter 32 – Fights bravely Chapter 32 Fights bravely Of course, now was not the time for Long Yu to intertwine his own life experience. That Liu Mingxuan of Imperial city¡¯s Liu n was staring at him and said furiously: ¡°Waste, you¡¯ll pay the price for the words you just said!¡± ¡°That is natural, everyone must be responsible for the words one speaks, it implies on you too, barking dog.¡± Long Yu said with a contemptuous smile. As Liu Mingxuan listened to these words, his charming face suddenly twisted with anger. ¡°Do you dare to step forward and fight with me right now?¡± Liu Mingxuan looked angrily at Long Yu, put out his hand and pointed his finger at his face. At that time, he was trying to provoke Long Yu and his actions were full of disdain! ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I?¡± Long Yu chuckled loudly, and went a step forward, as if he was not at all affected by Liu Mingxuan¡¯s provocation. Both Liu Mingxuan and Feng Yao possessed the same strength, and were only at the Wudao seventhyer, and whenpared to the strength of Qin Tianque, there was not much difference between them, so Long Yu naturally didn¡¯t care. At present, Long Yu had not only practiced Demon tyrant form to the Da Cheng level, but he also had a battle weapon, Blizzard boots, and now, he was several times strongerpared to that time when he had defeated and killed Qin Tianque. What the other people didn¡¯t know that Long Yu had killed Qin Tianque and they also didn¡¯t know that how Long Yu had be a lot stronger than before. When Ling Han heard these words of Long Yu, he was a bit surprised, and quickly stretched out his one hand to stop him: ¡°Brother Long Yu, don¡¯t be impulsive, Liu Mingxuan is at Wudao seventhyer, you are not his match.¡± Theoretically speaking, it seemed obvious to Ling Han that Long Yu would not be able to hold his own against Liu Mingxuan. But, if when it came to actualbat, then Ling Han did not think that Long Yu was not Liu Mingxuan¡¯s opponent! ¡°Hmph, Ling Han, I do not want to make you an enemy, you stay out of this.¡± Liu Mingxuan contemptuously smiled and said: ¡°Let this waste step forward, or doesn¡¯t he dare to fight with me? I¡¯d like to see how he continues to talk insolently with me!¡± At the side, with a color of contempt on her face, Feng Yao was looking at Long Yu. She thought to herself that now Long Yu was at Wudao sixthyer, although she didn¡¯t know that how he was able to step into the world of Wudao, but even with his current strength, he could never be an opponent of Liu Mingxuan. As for why Long Yu was able to enhance his cultivation so quickly right after entering the World of Wudao, Feng Yao guessed that it must have been her father, Feng Longsong, who might have possibly prepared some immortality drugs for Long Yu to help in his fast growth. ¡°Brother Ling Han, please let me handle this.¡± Long Yu said. ¡°I cannot.¡± Ling Han was adamant, as an impregnable bastion, he stood in front of Long Yu: ¡°Royal Ancient Ginseng Forestpetition is going to start soon, even you want to fight, no need to begin now, isn¡¯t it better for both of you to first enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest and fight there whenpetition starts?¡± ¡°Well, I am fine with not fighting now.¡± Liu Mingxuan said with a disdainful look in his eyes: ¡°Let this waste kowtow to me, he must admit his mistake and say out loud that in the end, who is actually a barking dog!¡± ¡°Sire, don¡¯t go too far, he is a disciple of my Zhentian Sect and no one can humiliate him.¡± Ling Han¡¯splexion gradually turned cold and from his stance, it was ready to fight for Long Yu and would not tolerate anymore insult done to him. At this scene, Long Yu felt a warm feeling in his heart. Ling Han was really maintaining his position as a senior and treated him as a junior fellow disciple of the same sect! As for the other four disciples, they stood at the rear side from the very beginning, as they didn¡¯t want to get involved in this matter, because at their current strengths, it was impossible for them to stand up for Long Yu. ¡°Kowtow and admit mistake? Who do you regard yourself as?¡± Long Yu sneered then immediately turned his head and said to Ling Han: ¡°Brother Ling Han, believe in me, nothing would happen.¡± Ling Han¡¯s knitted his eyebrows but he also thought that this matter was improper from the very beginning. Although, he knew that Long Yu was strong, but this disciple of Hanbing Sect was at Wudao seventhyer and if Long Yu really wanted to go to fight with him then it would be very difficult for Long Yu to defeat him. Obviously, the gap between the strength a master at Wudao seventhyer and a Wudao sixthyer was really huge. A master at Wudao seventhyer could produce Xuan qi out of his body, and this skill always gave him an overwhelming advantage over his opponent. Although Long Yu was a master of Wudao sixthyer, but he should not have any experience fighting with a master of Wudao seventhyer, so how could he deal with Liu Mingxuan? ¡°Brother Long Yu, listen to my words, you must not be impulsive.¡± Ling Han said solemnly because he firmly wanted to protect Long Yu! The other four disciples of Zhentian Sect, as well as Feng Yao and the other two female disciples of Hanbing Sect, thought that relying on the strength of Ling Han, Long Yu was trying to be so arrogant and rampant in front of Liu Mingxuan. ¡°Really shameless, he is actually pulling Brother Ling Han in his own matter.¡± ¡°No wonder this Long Yu is such a kind of person, he has even offended Brother Tan Jian and senior sister Feng Qianqian.¡± The four disciples of Zhentian Sect were whispering and this made Long Yu to somewhat wonder. At present, the truth was that he actually wanted to fight with Liu Mingxuan, just to see who was stronger, but Ling Han was not willing to allow this fight, evidently, he must think of a way. ¡°So, in reality, you are not just a waste, but a soft egg, trying to hide behind others to not get crushed!¡± Liu Mingxuan contemptuous smiled and said: ¡°You¡¯re such a thing, you¡¯re not worthy of Feng Yao, no wonder even she calls you a waste!¡± Upon hearing this, standing nearby, Feng Yao did not have any special expression, as if she thought that it was a naturalment. At this time, others were somewhat surprised at what Liu Mingxuan said about Long Yu, that he was not ¡°worthy¡± of Feng Yao. What did it mean? Was there some ambiguous rtionship between them? But looking at the facial expression of Feng Yao, it was obvious that there was an apparent disdain in her eyes for Long Yu! So to say, there was only one possibility, someone actually wanted to match Long Yu with Feng Yao. Ling Han was also somewhat surprised because he did not think that there would actually be a rtionship between Long Yu and Feng Yao. ¡°Brother Ling Han, he has challenged me, if I do not fight then wouldn¡¯t it be a loss of face for you and other disciples of Zhentian Sect?¡± Long Yu¡¯s both eyes shed with vigor, he had finally found an opportunity to persuade Ling Han. ¡°Such being the case, you are free to fight!¡± Ling Han¡¯s eyes shone brightly and said in an encouraging tone: ¡°Remember, your brother will always be behind you, you do not worry too much, even if you are defeated, show us that you can give a good fight!¡± He thought that Long Yu liked Feng Yao Yu, and in front of a person he liked, the reason did not matter, because even if a man knew that he would be defeated, he would still want to fight bravely in front of the person he liked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry¡­¡­¡± Long Yu nodded and finally stepped forward. Long Yu felt somewhat helpless at the assumption that Ling Han had made on his own, but so long as he could fight, he didn¡¯t care about anything else! ¡°So you really dare toe out.¡± Liu Mingxuan saw Long Yu stepping forward, and with a disdainful smile on his face, he said: ¡°Waste, I will beat you up so badly that you will kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy, then you will regret making those impertinent remarks.¡± ¡°Less nonsense,e to fight.¡± Long Yu said in an indifferent manner, and immediately, Xuan qi began to revolve in his entire body. Long Yu immediately activated the Demon Vajra cover, and now, he was prepared to start anytime because even if Liu Mingxuan tried to use his strongest sneak attack on him, this protection cover would ensure his safety. The next moment, Liu Mingxuan finally shot! ¡°Copsing hill fist!¡± In a move, he brandished his martial skill and his fist directly went towards the chest of Long Yu. Ling Han narrowed his both eyes and felt that the strength condensed in this fist was only of Wudao sixthyer standard. But, while facing this copsing hill fist, Long Yu didn¡¯t move at all. ¡°If it¡¯s an attack of Wudao sixthyer standard then I should be able to withstand it by depending on the Demon tyrant form¡­¡­¡± Long Yu thought in mind, and in the next moment, that copsing hill fist directly rumbled on his shoulder! Strong winds began to rush from ce where the fist struck and spread everywhere. Everyone held their breaths after watching this scene, all of them thought that Long Yu would be shot to fly in the sky by this punch, at least, he would be thoroughly pushed back by the strength in this punch. But, what happened at that time really surprised all of them. The gust of windpletely dispersed, but even after directly taking this attack, Long Yu¡¯s body was entirely still, as if this attack simply had no effect on him, rather it only gave him a tickling sensation. ¡°Do you have only this much strength?¡± Long Yu said aloud: ¡°If you have only such strength, then in a while, it is going to be you who will kneel down and beg for mercy!¡± Liu Mingxuan had taken back his fist and moved several steps away from Long Yu, but there was still a disdainful smile on his face: ¡°Waste, this was only 30% of my true strength, so you were able to withstand it, which is still beyond my expectations, but next time, I will let you witness my truth strength!¡± ¡°Cold dragon destroys! Still having a disdainful look in his eyes, Liu Mingxuan waved his arms, and suddenly, strong Xuan qi began to umte around them, and he actually congealed two cold dragons made from Xuan qi, and both dragon advanced towards Long Yu from two directions! These two streams of Xuan qi actually transformed into dragon ws and were obviously extremely powerful! ¡°This cold dragon destroyer is absolutely a top grade martial skill, but it seems this Liu Mingxuan has onlyprehended it to the Xiao Cheng realm.¡± Long Yu¡¯s eyes shone with anticipation: ¡°Makes me want to see, how strong the defensive ability of my Demon Vajra cover is.¡± Thinking of this, he once again did not dodge, just stood there, waiting to wee the two cold dragons, in order to resist these attacks and test the limits of his Demon Vajra cover! Seeing this scene, Ling Han¡¯s heart sank. ¡°No, don¡¯t be impulsive, Brother Long Yu should have sufficient assurance before trying something like this, otherwise you won¡¯t be able to dodge when required¡­¡­¡± Ling Han decided to step up and protect Long Yu but ultimately chose not to. He chose to believe in Long Yu! But at this time, facing the two cold dragons, Long Yu felt that they had the strength of 60,000-70,000 Jin, and stood keeping his feet firmly on the ground, and the Xuan qi began to suddenly surge around his body. ¡°Demon Vajra cover, coagtion!¡± The next moment, ayer of pale golden light emerged on the surface his body, so that his whole person seemed iparably holy! Meanwhile, the two cold dragons, one from the left and the other from the right, attacked Long Yu and immediately transmitted strong impacts on Long Yu¡¯s body, making his whole body to almost stagger! But then, on the surface of Long Yu¡¯s body, theyer of the pale golden light of Demon Vajra cover suddenly illuminated, and generated a stream of holy power, and immediately melted the strong impact. The Xuan qi was gorgeously surging out of Long Yu¡¯s body, but he stood there steady like the Mt. Tai! Seeing the steady and gorgeously golden stature of Long Yu, everyone standing around was shocked, whether it was Ling Han or Feng Yao or other disciples of Zhentian Sect and Hanbing Sect, because none of them ever thought that Long Yu could be able to so effortlessly resist a formidable move like cold dragon destroyer! It was most shocking for Liu Mingxuan. ¡°How is this possible¡­¡­ cold dragon destroyer is a top grade martial skill, though I have just practiced it to the Xiao Cheng level, but even so, my attack possessed strength of 70,000 Jin, how did this waste not even budge after taking my attack¡­¡­¡± There was an incredible look in Liu Mingxuan¡¯s eyes. This waste Long Yu was only at Wudao sixthyer? But his cold dragon destroyer was so powerful that even a master of Wudao seventhyer would find it very difficult to resist! ¡°You say how? Is this your true strength?¡± Long Yu said it loudly with a contemptuous smile: ¡°If so, you are just a dog and do not deserve to mor in front of me.¡± As he finished saying these words, Liu Mingxuan became extremely angry. He just wanted to use a stronger martial skill to deal with Long Yu, but suddenly, everyone heard a clear hoof beat from the distant ce in the street, and everyone¡¯splexion instantly changed. Everyone looked in the direction of the source of hoof beats, and saw a group of martial warriors, dressed in shining armors,ing on horsebacks. ¡°Royal princess has arrived.¡± Everyone was startled and their hearts started to beat loudly. Chapter 33 – Youth in metal armor Chapter 33 Youth in metal armor The identity of Royal princess was enough to generate fear in anyone¡¯s heart. When the intermittent hoof beats resounded, Feng Yao quickly persuaded Liu Mingxuan: ¡°Cousin, Royal princess ising, it is better that you temporarily don¡¯t fight.¡± Then, she looked at Long Yu, in her eyes shed a light of indifference: ¡°As for this waste, you will get plenty of opportunities to teach him a lesson.¡± To be honest, Feng Yao was extremely shocked to see that Long Yu was able to withstand two powerful cold dragon moves of Liu Mingxuan. However, the impression of Long Yu as a waste was so deep rooted in her mind that she was unable to ept that this strength shown by Long Yu was his actually his own. There was also a possibility that Long Yu had a strong defense type battle weapon and it was not his own defensive strength. Now, Royal princess had arrived, and everybody felt that it was not appropriate for them to continue the fighting, so they suddenly stopped. ¡°Hmph, count yourself as lucky, waste.¡± Liu Mingxuan said while staring fiercely at Long Yu: ¡°In Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, if you try and bump into me then I will kill you.¡± ¡°Well, looking at your strength, you don¡¯t have enough skill to kill me.¡± Long Yu mockingly looked at him then turned back and walked towards Ling Han¡¯s side. He was not afraid of Liu Mingxuan, but he thought that it would not be appropriate to continue the fight. Now, Royal princess had arrived, so it was not proper to continue fighting in her presence .This was one of the two reasons that Long Yu also wanted to stop fighting. The other reason was that if he really wanted to beat Liu Mingxuan, then he would have to use the power of blizzard boots in front of everyone. As a result of that, all of his cards would be exposed to others and it would be quite disadvantageous, keeping in mind the tomorrow¡¯s trip to Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest . So, he contented his heart to wait for an opportunity to deal with Liu Mingxuan alone in the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. ¡°Brother Long Yu, congrattions.¡± Ling Han saw that not far away from their group, dressed in shining metal armors, riding on horses, a group of warriors wasing towards them. Finally, he would be able to resolve the immediate situation, because Ling Han felt that if Long Yu and Liu Mingxuan had continued to fight, Long Yu would have definitely lost. No doubt, Long Yu resisted the two moves of the martial skill of Liu Mingxuan and that too from a top grade martial skill like cold dragon destroyer, and thus, he had proved his strength. If the fight had continued, perhaps, Long Yu might be able to resist. ¡°Thank you Brother Ling Han.¡± Long Yu smiled but did not say anything, and immediately focused on the far end of the street and saw a group of warriors d in shining metal armors were advancing towards them. There were six disciples of Zhentian Sect and four disciples of Hanbing Sect, all standing separately in two groups on the street, and staring at the arriving group of people. In a while, the group of warriors approached so near to them that now everyone could clearly see their appearance. Front and rear, both rows had each ten fierce horses lined up parallel to each other. There were a total of twenty shining armor warriors, and there was a beautiful girl in the center, protected by these warriors. Everyone saw the beautiful girl, dressed in elegant white silk gown, was riding a white horse, wearing a beautiful coro, and there hung a gentle smile on her face which was simply wless and serene. ¡°So this is the Royal princess?¡± Long Yu watched, but didn¡¯t pay attention to her, instead his eyes moved towards the person standing next to her. The man seemed to be the strongest among the twenty warriors d in shining metal armors, and was evidently their leader. He seemed to be in his early twenties, d in an elegant metal armor, a golden helmet, and there was a spear in his hand. He possessed a very high cultivation level and was much stronger than Feng Yun! ¡°Perhaps, even the strongest core disciple of Zhentian Sect can¡¯t be the opponent of this metal armored youth¡­¡­¡± Long Yu thought in his mind, but he was not much concerned about the strength of this metal armored youth, but about his appearance. Whether it was his eyes, nose or mouth, this metal armored youth had one third resemnce with Long Yu! Upon seeing him, Long Yu quietly stepped back and hid himself behind Ling Han. ¡°Perhaps my early life experience is somewhat rted to this metal armored youth¡­¡­¡­¡­¡± Long Yu¡¯s eyes shed as he thought: ¡°For these years, the foster father has not said anything to me about my early life, obviously, due to some scruples. Maybe, he wants to evade the point temporarily until I enhance my strength to a considerable extent!¡± Shortly after temporarily bearing patiently, in the future when he would get stronger, he would start searching for the answers, although he possessed ¡®Nine hidden dragons mark¡¯, but he could not be too negligent. The Royal n was extremely formidable and very influential, and let alone Long Yu, even the entire Zhentian sect could not dare to offend them. Soon, the group of 20 metal armored warriors, along with the Royal princess protected in the center, arrived near the two groups of disciples, and as they held on the reins, the fierce horses stopped temporarily. ¡°Disciples of Zhentian Sect and Hanbing Sect.¡¯¡¯ Beautiful Royal princess said with a smile on her face: ¡°Gentlemen, it seems everyone has good cultivation, you all are young talents of my Tang State, in tomorrow¡¯s Royal Ancient Ginseng Forestpetition, I hope everyone to have good harvest.¡± ¡°Thank you, Princess.¡± Liu Mingxuan immediately said with a smile on his face: ¡°I am Liu Mingxuan from the Liu n of Imperial city, I feel honored to see you here, princess.¡± ¡°So, you are from Liu n.¡± Royal princess said with a polite smile: ¡°Liu n has its roots in the Imperial city for generations, one of best known ns for its trade. I believe that father emperor is happy with your n.¡± ¡°Princess is very polite.¡± Liu Mingxuan immediately felt self-satisfied, having a noble birth was different and getting praised by the Royal princess was an entirely different experience for him! Little did they know that on the side, when Long Yu heard it, a feeling of contempt appeared in his heart: ¡°It turns out that Liu n is just a n of traders in the Imperial city, but it also has strong presence in military power¡­¡­¡± No wonder this Liu Mingxuan was only at Wudao seventhyer, he didn¡¯t belong to a powerful n, because in powerful ns, even the children possessed stronger cultivation than him. ¡°Princess, let¡¯s go, it seems that this time, the disciples of Hanbing Sect and Zhentian Sect are not much, even the disciples of Qiansi Sect possess little strength.¡± At this time, the youth, who had one third resemnces with Long Yu, said to princess with a smile on his face, although, he said it casually, but there was an obvious pride on his face. It was obvious that he looked down on the disciples of the threerge sects! ¡°Well they temporarilyck resources and once they will enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, they will grow stronger and be strong pirs of our Tang State.¡± Royal princess actually smiled gently and said: ¡°Well, I will go first, you all should go back and take rest, tomorrow everyone should enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest early in the morning, I wish everyone good luck in advance.¡± ¡°Thank you, Princess.¡± The crowd answered in unison, and then the group watched the princess leaving with her escorts. ¡°Hmph, he was really arrogant.¡± At that time, Ling Mingxuan was not feeling well in his heart after hearing the words of the youth in metal armor. ¡°Well, no doubt, he is a bodyguard of the Royal princess, but his cultivation is so high that makes us unable to guess itpletely, what he said is quite natural and he has the qualification to do so as well.¡± Feng Yao narrowed her eyes and said, and as she finished saying these words, she turned to leave. Tomorrow was the day to enter Royal Ancient Ginseng forest and her opponent was going to be the beautiful girl of Qiansi Sect, the so-called princess of Qiansi Sect! As far as a waste like Long Yu was concerned, she was disinclined to pay any attention to him, because in her eyes, Long Yu was not at all on the same level as her. ¡°Brother Ling Han, shall we go back?¡± One of the disciples of Zhentian Sect asked. Ling Han, at this time, was looking in the direction of the princess slowly disappearing from his sight, as if he was still not satisfied and wanted to watch more! Ling Han heard someone calling him and suddenly regained hisposure: ¡°Oh what, we should go back? ¡°Haha, Brother Ling Han, could it be you have fallen for the princess?¡± Immediately someone teased him. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense, it¡¯s just that princess is so beautiful, can¡¯t I even have a good look at her?¡± Ling Hanughed. ¡°Right, that metal armored youth, who just spoke, looks a bit like one of our disciples, did Brother Ling Han notice?¡± One of them asked aloud while his eyes were aiming at Long Yu. ¡°Ah, looks like whom?¡¯¡¯ Ling Han simply hadn¡¯t noticed that metal armored youth, so he was surprised at the moment. ¡°He is hiding behind you, Brother Long Yu.¡± The man sneered: ¡°I once heard that Brother Long Yu actually belongs to a certain aristocratic n from Imperial city, but was exiled from the n, I originally thought that it was just a rumor, but now it seems like there is a possibility, Brother Long Yu, is that right?¡± ¡°My bad, I do not know my own life experience, if you really know so well, take the trouble to tell me about it? Long Yu chuckled loudly and simply ignored him! The discourse of the man stopped, he was suddenly speechless! ¡°Well, let¡¯s stop this idle talk and rush back?¡± Ling Han interposed hastily and said with a smile: ¡°Well, be prepared to enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest tomorrow, perhaps will be a great opportunity for all of us. If you can obtain a top grade ancient ginseng, you can promote ayer directly!¡± As he said these words, the hearts of the four disciples of Zhentian Sect began to burn up with excitement. However, unless there was a huge burst of good luck, it was not so easy to get a top grade ancient ginseng. Nevertheless, if they could get some low grade ancient ginsengs, then that would be good as well! Different people harboring different thoughts returned to their respective rooms in the inn to take rest. This evening, almost all suffered from varying degrees of insomnia, because an important event was approaching their lives, and they were going to get the first important opportunity to enter Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, and if they were lucky enough to get ancient ginsengs, then they could enhance their strengths. Only Long Yu, who was equipped with a strong psychological quality, slept like a dead pig! ¡­¡­ Night time quickly passed. Next morning, everybody gathered in the inn courtyard, besides Long Yu, everyone was more or less mentally exhausted, even Tan Jian was not an exception. However, there was a look of excitement in everyone¡¯s eyes, obviously, they had waited for a long time to enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest! Elder Yu, dressed in ck robes, appeared in front of the group. ¡°Come with me, today you must enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, you must remember that your life is on the line, so give your best!¡± Elder Yu reminded them onest time then led the group to leave the inn and went towards the rear side of the Royal Ancient Ginseng City. Before long, the crowd arrived in front of the rear gate of the Royal Ancient Ginseng City, and just out of the rear gate, the royal n¡¯s back garden was stretched far and wide, it was the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest! At the city gate, a total of 53 disciples of Hanbing Sect, Qiansi Sect and Zhentian Sect had gathered, led by their respective elders, and were divided into three groups. The royal princess and those metal armor warriors stood on the front. Without the permission of a member of the royal n, the gate leading to Royal Ancient Ginseng forest would absolutely not open. When all of the participants had assembled, then the metal armored youth came forward, with a look of arrogance in his eyes, and swept his eyes over all of the participants. ¡°Now, you will enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, there is only one rule, and that is, if the best quality ginseng appears, in any event, it is the property of the royal n, understood?¡± The youth gave a stern warning. ¡°Understood!¡± Everyone said in unison, at present, they were excited because they were about to enter the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, where several opportunities were waiting for them! As for the best quality ancient ginseng, it was not easy for one to appear. It was a rare treasure and extremely hard to find one even in a decade, so nobody was expecting to find a best quality ancient ginseng this time! Chapter 34 – A fist bang to fly (Part 1) Chapter 34 A fist bang to fly (Part 1) Long Yu carefully observed the disciples of Hanbing Sect and Qiansi Sect in the group and quickly found out their general cultivation levels. Among the disciples of Qiansi Sect, a woman d in light yellow clothes, was standing with an arrogant look in her eyes and with her hands crossed behind her back. When Long Yu saw her, he immediately recognized that it was that Qiansi princess who had blocked their way near the city gate! ¡°Qiansi princess, named Yu Qianning, is now at Wudao eightyer and possesses a top grade battle weapon, called thousand shadow needles. Among the group of 53 people entering the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, she is the strongest disciple, so I cannot bump into her from the beginning.¡± Long Yu thought in his mind and moved his gaze in other direction. In Hanbing Sect, besides Feng Yao and Liu Mingxuan, there were also two disciples with higher cultivation than his, they had already reached the Wudao eighthyer. The two, a man and a woman, appeared to be brother and sister, both wearing grey dress, performance was very low-key, had thin statures, as if even a gust of wind could blow both of them away. Including Tan Jian, also a disciple at Wudao eighthyer, there were four disciples at Wudao eighthyer and Long Yu absolutely must not bump into them right after entering the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. But, everyone entering Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest would remain there for ten days and search for ancient ginseng, and if Long Yu could be able to step into Wudao seventhyer, then a confrontation with these four men would not necessarily be a problem for him. Soon, the Royal princess used the imperial decree of the emperor of Tang State and ordered to open the gate leading to the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. As the giant city gate opened slowly, everyone¡¯s eyes began to shine. ¡°Gentlemen, please enter.¡± The Royal princess said, wearing a white silk gown and a gentle smile on her face, her hand was pointing to the gate of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest! A total of 53 disciples of the threerge sects suddenly rushed inside, their figures flickered quickly, and shortly after, all of them entered the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. Long Yu moved slowly and leisurely in the end, until everyone went in, he went one step across the gate and finally entered Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. ¡°This Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest is really vast.¡± Long Yu nced at the front and found that whole mountain range was actually the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, full of towering old trees, but the forest was not as dense and moist as the abyss of Teng snakes, but it seemed more open and dry. Suddenly, Long Yu felt a gazeing through the trees and apparently belonged to someone hidden in the woods! ¡°Is someone staring at me?¡¯¡¯ Long Yu sneered, but he did not care because except those four people, he wasn¡¯t afraid of others. And, these four people must have already headed towards the depths of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest to look for top grade ancient ginsengs, so why would they stand idly at the edge of the forest staring at Long Yu? ¡°Is this Feng Yao? Liu Mingxuan? Or is this Feng Qianqian?¡± Long Yu excluded Tan Jian, because he knew that for Tan Jian, the most important thing was to enhance his cultivation, so he would naturally concentrate his energy on grabbing a top grade ancient ginseng instead of waiting for Long Yu at the edge of the forest to teach him a lesson for injuring Tan Yue. Whether it was Feng Yao, Liu Mingxuan or Feng Qianqian, Long Yu was confident to defeat them all! Long Yu thought for a while then lifted his steps and strode directly towards the depths of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. It was not so easy to find a top grade ancient ginseng, but there were many low-grade ancient ginsengs, and if he could get even one low-grade ancient ginseng and absorbed the world Lingqi present in it, then it could help him to improve his cultivation a lot. Now, Long Yu was in the depths of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, but soon he noticed that someone was following him, but had not actually shown up. ¡°Perhaps, he also thinks that I have not discovered him, so he is waiting for me to let my guard down, and at that time, he would initiate the sneak attack?¡± Long Yu sneered and could only say that the opposite party was too silly and na?ve! In Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, towering old trees were present, and each tree had such a thick trunk that it would take more ten people to hold hands around its trunk to cover its circumferencepletely. Long Yu was putting specific marks on these old trees, just to remember its shape and position to avoid being lost in the forest. An hour passed, Long Yu had already entered more than 50 Li into the forest and found that it waspletely deste and inhabited! The person had still been following Long Yu all the way from the very beginning. ¡°There is a rich world Lingqi content in the atmosphere, an ancient ginseng should be nearby.¡± At this time, Long Yu¡¯s nose felt a burst of aroma that was spread in the surrounding air, and his heart began to thump, and he hurriedly ran towards the spot from where that aroma was exuding. The person keeping track on him also sped up his pace. It was obvious that he must have also felt the aroma of an ancient ginseng. ¡°Such an anxious pace, this tracking method is really so clumsy!¡± Long Yu remained calm and collected, and in a while, he arrived on the edge of a brook and finally saw one like a hay-like nt growing in the creek shore, exuding an intoxicating aroma. Ancient ginseng, a low-grade ancient ginseng! Long Yu¡¯s was delighted in his heart, although it was a low-grade ancient ginseng, but it contained the amount of Lingqi that was equivalent to the amount present in a low-grade immortality pill. Relying on the extraordinary power of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ to absorb the Lingqi from the low-grade ancient ginseng, even if Long Yu was going to absorb a low-grade ancient ginseng, the effects would be betterpared with amon person¡¯s absorption, and it could his cultivation in taking a big stride in the Wudao sixthyer. However, when Long Yu took a step towards the low-grade ancient ginseng nt, the mysterious follower finally made a move. ¡°Long Yu, die!¡± A sweet and delicate voice came from behind Long Yu, and it was followed by a gust of palm wind that severely hit on the back of Long Yu and produced a loud sound! ¡°So, it is Feng Qianqian¡­¡­¡± Chapter 34 – A fist bang to fly (Part 2) Chapter ¨C 34 A fist bang to fly (Part 2) ¡°So, it is Feng Qianqian¡­¡­¡± Long Yu heard the voice and finally knew the identity of the opposite party! That martial skill used by Feng Qianqian was the same as disyed by Qin Tianque, Xuan wind destroyer! Because, it was a sneak attack from a far distance, so it didn¡¯t contain enough destructive power, so Long Yu didn¡¯t take any action, but by the virtue of hardening the flesh and bones using the Demon tyrant form, he easily faced it without receiving any injury! ¡°You made me wait for so long.¡± Long Yu sneered, the Xuan qi began to condense in his entire body, his personal appearance flickered and he immediately rushed forward! Using the first twinkling step of Flickering wind step, he crossed a distance of 30 feet in a blink of an eye. The next moment, the stature of Long Yu appeared behind Feng Qianqian, and his powerful fist went towards her back! ¡°What?¡± Feng Qianqian was extremely surprised at the reaction speed of Long Yu, but she was a master of Wudao seventhyer, so she didn¡¯t panic at Long Yu¡¯s move and immediately resorted to a higher level martial technique. ¡°Shaking airw!¡± Feng Qianqian immediately disyed the peak level of ¡®shaking airw¡¯ and Xuan qi began to surge out of her body and a strong gust of air ripples suddenly rushed towards Long Yu and immediately covered his whole body and pushed him several steps back. After reaching the peak level of ¡®Shaking airw¡¯, its effect would not only hinder the motion of the opponent, but could also be extremely overbearing and shook the opponent, in fact, weak martial cultivators would even receive wounds from the shaking air ripples. As Long Yu had practiced Demon tyrant form to the Da Cheng level, so he was not injured by this move, rather he immediately went for a counter-sneak attack and threw his fist towards her back. ¡°Long Yu, you bullied my elder brother, so now, I will take your life!¡± Feng Qianqian said in a cold voice. Her long hair was floating in the air and she looked like a malicious ghost! No wonder, since the time she entered Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, she had been following Long Yu for a long time, and now that she finally emerged, she actually wanted to take his life! ¡°My life, do you think you can take it?¡± Long Yu said with a contemptuous smile. ¡°Relying on your strength of Wudao sixthyer, don¡¯t you even think about escaping from my hands, that is just a wishful thinking!¡± Feng Qianqian said with an arrogant look on her face. ¡°Then, why don¡¯t you try.¡± Long Yu shrugged. ¡°Your flickering wind step should be at Da Cheng level, and it can give you only one twinkling step, and next, you have a useless body refining martial skill like Demon tyrant form, now I would love to see what other methods you have to show.¡± Feng Qianqian disdainfully said and immediately moved forward, once again disying the shaking airw, and the surrounding air vibrated, making her whole body to flutter in the air. Using the shock from rippling air, Feng Qianqian¡¯s figure quickly headed towards Long Yu and she severely shot her palm! The palm attack contained her entire strength and was directly aimed at the top of Long Yu¡¯s head. ¡°Xuan wind destroyer!¡± At this time, the Xuan wind destroyer granted a terrifying might to this palm attack, which contained the strength of 60000Jin -70000 Jin, and her palm mmed towards his body, even if it was a human form megalith made of rock, this attack was strong enough to shatter it instantly! Feng Qianqian naturally thought that although Long Yu had practiced Demon tyrant form, but it was impossible for his body to be as hard as a rock. The only way left for Long Yu to dodge this palm attack was to increase his speed faster than her, otherwise, if this palm hit him then he would certainly die! While facing this killer move of Feng Qianqian, Long Yu just sneered. ¡°Flickering wind step, Blizzard boots!¡± Long Yu used his intention to move, and immediately cast out of the flickering wind step, and simultaneously activated his battle weapon, blizzard boots, and it seemed as if his whole body had turned into light breeze, and he retreated at a very high speed! With the help of the Da Cheng level of ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯ coupled with the effects of blizzard boots, at this moment, Long Yu¡¯s speed far exceeded the speed of Feng Qianqian! Shua! Surrounded by the strong gust of air ripples generated by ¡®shaking airw¡¯, Feng Qianqian¡¯s palm shot nothing and her attack went in vain, while her face suddenly exposed an incredible look. Long Yu, the waste, how could he be so fast? Of course, a battle weapon! Feng Qianqian saw the blizzard boots on Long Yu¡¯s feet, it was white in color like the snow itself and was easily noticeable. Usually, blizzard boots appeared the same as ordinary boots, but once stimted to give eleration effect, they would immediately get covered in white snow and ice, and not just looked incredibly beautiful but also gave tremendous speed to the user. ¡°eleration effect of this battle weapon is good, although, it is only a low-grade battle weapon, but it is a rare and priceless. I cannot believe this waste also has this grade of treasure!¡± Feng Qianqian was now more determined to kill Long Yu and finally resorted to use her killer weapon. As an inner disciple of Zhentian Sect, she had naturally been rewarded with a low-grade battle weapon, called ¡®Wandering soul glove¡¯, and with its help, she had also practiced ¡®Smashing soul hand¡¯, a high-level martial skill, and now if she wanted to kill Long Yu then it was going to be a piece of cake. As she wore the ¡®Wandering soul glove¡¯ on her right hand to make a fist, suddenly a burst of ck mist surged out of it, and she immediately rushed towards Long Yu! ¡°Show me how you escape again!¡± Feng Qianqian sneered and the ck mist congealed into a ghost w and went towards Long Yu and in a blink of an eye, it surrounded him, keeping a sudden check on his movements! Smashing soul hand was a high-grade martial skill and it could generate a ghost w made up of ck mist, which could be assigned away from the body andpletely block off the movements of the opponent while keeping him alive! Long Yu¡¯splexion changed, but at this moment, Feng Qianqian¡¯s fist rushed towards Long Yu with a full intention to kill him. ¡°Die!¡± Wandering soul glove fist attack contained the great strength of **ten thousand Jin, and if it hit Long Yu, he would surely die! (Mystique- The author has put ** in the raws :P) Bang! Feng Qianqian¡¯s attack suddenly hit on top of Long Yu¡¯s head! However, she was then surprised to find that the body of Long Yu turned into an afterimage and gradually disappeared. Right before Feng Qianqian¡¯s palm could hit, his figure actually blurred and vanished. ¡°What! The peak level of flickering wind step?¡± Feng Qianqian almost immediately understood everything, and herplexion suddenly changed, but she didn¡¯t have enough time to react. A formidable mysterious mood along with an imposing manner, descended from the heaven and suppressed her movements, and even if she had the strength of Wudao seventhyer, her movements werepletely suppressed by the mysterious mood. Then, the figure of Long Yu shed and appeared behind her, he activated the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ then condensed a great strength in his fist and rumbled on her back, and her frail body was sted away and went flying into the sky! Simr to a broken kite, the whole stature of Feng Qianqian was sted to fly more than 100 feet into the sky and fell down heavily on the ground. She spurted out a mouthful of blood and was obviously injured severely. Chapter 35 – Fierce battle in the forest (Part 1) Chapter 35 Fierce battle in the forest (Part 1) Like a broken kite, Feng Qianqian heavily fell on the ground in an upside down manner and instantly fainted. Long Yu returned to a normal state then took three steps to reach beside the fainted Feng Qianqian and picked up her battle weapon, wandering soul glove, lying beside her. Long Yu put on the wandering soul glove in his right hand, and randomly threw his fist in the air two times, he found out that this wandering soul glove actually increased the strength in his right hand by 30% and this was all due to the effect of this low-grade battle weapon. It was hard to imagine that a low-grade battle weapon could give such strength boost. If a martial artist possessed a high-grade battle weapon then what kind of strength he would have. ¡°Feng Qianqian, this is going to be the first andst time I am forgiving, if you try to attack me next time, I will no longer show any mercy.¡± Long Yu thought to himself and quickly moved towards the creek edge of the tree and cautiously picked up the low-grade ancient ginseng. Then he looked up and nced in all directions. ¡°I can safely absorb the Lingqi from the low-grade ancient ginseng at this ce, it should be safer to do it on a tree ¡­¡­¡± Long Yu thought then quickly ran up to an old tree, with many branches and cover of leaves, and reached near its trunk. He used his hands and feet to slowly crawl up. Soon, he hid himself in the dense branches and leaves of the 20 feet high old tree, and upied amanding position, from where he could see the distant ces clearly, and even there was a hint of danger, he could detect it right away. Now, he was sitting quietly, hidden in the dense cover of leaves and was confident that no one could discover him easily! He did not waste time and directly put the low-grade ancient ginseng into his mouth and began to absorb the Lingqi present in it. At the same time, he didn¡¯t forget to simultaneously activate the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ after inhaling the immortality pill. Long Yu had be familiar with using the mark and handled it with ease. At this moment, he could easily preserve 70% of the Lingqi present in low-grade ancient ginseng in the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon mark¡¯. And the remaining 30% Lingqi would be directly absorbed by Long Yu. The Xuan qi, once again began to circte inside his body meridians and his basic strength increased from 32,000 Jin to 33,000 Jin. ¡°The effects are good.¡± Long Yu was satisfied after all he could preserve the 70% of the Lingqi present in low-grade ancient ginseng in the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon mark¡¯. 34,000 Jin. 35,000 Jin! After Long Yupletely absorbed the Lingqi present in the low-grade ancient ginseng, the Xuan qi began to circte and surge inside his body and his cultivation level increased. However, he was still at the Wudao sixthyer, although he wanted to have a breakthrough to the higher level, but at present, he could only scratch the surface, because merely absorbing the Lingqi of a low-grade ancient ginseng was far from enough. The low grade ancient ginseng waspletely absorbed by Long Yu, and not a bit of its Lingqi had been wasted, if wasted, the effects would have been absolutely shocking and disappointing than now. He was hiding in the extreme upper part of the old tree, and now, he was restoring his energy back. While fighting with Feng Qianqian, his Xuan qi was almost exhausted, if he would not restore it back to its peak level, he would not be able to start off once more because it might be risky. Unknowingly, the sun was setting in the western sky and the sky began to darken. At this time, Long Yu suddenly felt the fragrance of a rich Lingqi, gradually being transmitted from the distant ce, and was getting closer and denser until it surrounded his entire body! ¡°Someone is approaching toward me and he seems to be carrying an ancient ginseng!¡± Long Yu thought in his mind. From the rich and wonderful fragrance of the Lingqi, it was probably not just a low-grade ancient ginseng, it should be a middle-grade ancient ginseng! As far as the top grade ancient ginseng was concerned, it was impossible toe across one, because a top grade ancient ginseng contained even more Lingqi than top grade immortality pills and Long Yu had never seen it before. ¡°A middle-grade ancient ginseng, if possible, I must snatch it.¡± Long Yu was certainly not a fool, once he would get the opportunity to enhance his strength, he would definitely not hesitate to avail it. But soon, the person that appeared in his sight was an acquaintance. He upied amanding position on the tree and saw a long distance away from him, a man was running and gradually approaching towards him, d in white dress, and was none other than a disciple of his sect, Ling Han! Ling Han, holding an ancient ginseng in his hand, was running, but he seemed to be injured, because his running speed was not fast. Behind him, another figure appeared, wearing the blue silk robe of Hanbing sect, and it turned out to be Liu Mingxuan! ¡°Has Liu Mingxuan wounded Brother Ling Han?¡± In Long Yu¡¯s eyes shed a piercing look and it seemed as if he was already prepared to make an attack. Ling Han had an anxious look on his face, his leg was injured, and perhaps he would soon be overtaken by Liu Mingxuan. Liu Mingxuan, while pursuing him,ughed aloud: ¡°Ling Han, you want to escape from me? Obediently hand over the middle-grade ancient ginseng to me, otherwise, if I catch up with you, I will certainly destroy your cultivation and turn you into a waste.¡± There was a proud look on Liu Mingxuan¡¯s face, apparently he felt that Ling Han was a turtle in a jar, and in any case, he would not be able to get away from this trap. In fact, if he hadn¡¯t actually arrived close to the ce where Long Yu was hiding, then Ling Han really had no way to escape, but now, it was actually Liu Mingxuan who was going to bring about his own destruction. ¡°He wants to destroy the cultivation of Brother Ling Han? He has such a ruthless heart.¡± Long Yu thought to himself, and narrowed his eyes. He didn¡¯t have a favorable impression of Liu Mingxuan. ¡°Huh? Is it junior sister Feng Qianqian?¡± At this point, while running away from Liu Mingxuan, Ling Han saw Feng Qianqian lying unconscious on the ground, and hisplexion suddenly changed, he quickly stopped to examine the injuries of Feng Qianqian. Long Yu saw that and suddenly felt a bit of shock. This Ling Han, he was really a warmhearted person. At that time, he was injured and was still being hunted down by a powerful enemy, but even so, he stopped to look at Feng Qianqian. ¡°Ling Han, you are really a good man, ha ha!¡± Liu Mingxuanughed and said from far away: ¡°It is only pity that in this world, good people like you never get to live a long time!¡± As heughed, he wildly dashed forward, bring fresh breeze along with him, his appearance looked wild and intimidating! Just at that time, Long Yu, who was on the side of the old tree, finally found the opportunity and jumped down towards Liu Mingxuan and shot a heavy fist towards him! Chapter 35 – Fierce battle in the forest (Part 2) Chapter 35 Fierce battle in the forest (Part 2) At that time, he put on the wandering soul glove covered with a thinyer of ck mist and it made his fist strength to reach more than 50,000 Jin! Long Yu was not a fool so he naturally didn¡¯t make any sound in this sneak attack. Suddenly, Liu Mingxuan saw Long Yu¡¯s heavy fist was rapidlying closer towards his head and was about to make contact! ¡°A waste like you dares to sneak attack on me!¡± Liu Mingxuan reacted sharply and instantly stopped his footsteps, and at this time, there was a fierce look in his eyes. He immediately waved his arms and Xuan qi began to condense on both his arms, two cold dragons congealed from the Xuan qi, they roared loudly and instantly rushed straight towards Long Yu! The attacks of the both sides crashed against each other and exploded in the middle air making a huge explosion sound. Liu Mingxuan was hasty so the strength of his cold dragon destroyer was not strong and was unexpectedly broken by Long Yu¡¯s fist bang! Long Yu¡¯s pace was not hindered as his fist continued to arrive closer and closer towards Liu Mingxuan. ¡°Agility!¡± Liu Mingxuan moved his footsteps and his body became light like the wind, he instantaneously moved away several steps back. Yu Long had just now jumped down from the old tree, so at that time, he was not able to chase, all he could do was bnce his body and stood firmly on the same ce where Liu Mingxuan stood just a moment ago. ¡°Brother Long Yu?¡± Standing on the side, Ling Han was astonished and simply couldn¡¯t believe his own eyes, but when he gave a closer look, he found out that it was really Long Yu and his sudden appearance hadpelled Liu Mingxuan to retreat several steps. ¡°Brother Ling Han, you first go ahead with senior sister Feng Qianqian.¡± Long Yu said without turning back to look at Ling Han. ¡°How can I do that? How can a senior fellow disciple like me leave a junior disciple like you along in this ce, facing a powerful enemy? You rest assured because this senior brother will fight alongside you! Ling Han said these words in an inspiring tone! ¡°Brother, you must take care of senior sister apprentice Feng Qianqian first so as to keep her from getting vited by the evildoers. It will not be good for us if she bes a hostage.¡± Long Yu said this because he had to persuade Ling Han. Ling Han heard this and he also thought that Long Yu was right, in case someone suddenly kidnapped Feng Qianqian, won¡¯t that simply be disastrous for all? Ling Han gave it a thought then directly picked up Feng Qianqian to move away and arrived under the nearby old tree. ¡°Brother Long Yu, first you resist him, I will immediatelye to help you!¡± Ling Han shouted and began to examine the injuries of Feng Qianqian. Liu Mingxuan stood firm, facing Long Yu, and said with a contemptuous smile on his face: ¡°Waste, you met me and even dare to take the initiative to appear, I will destroy your cultivation, and you will be a real waste!¡± ¡°You can try freely.¡± Long Yu said calmly. ¡°Humph, one thing I want to warn you about, Wang Tianzhuo, the royal prince actually likes Cousin Feng Yao.¡± Liu Mingxuan looked very haughty and contemptuously said: ¡°For a waste like you, it will be best to stay as far away as you can from Cousin Feng Yao!¡± ¡°From which eye did you look to assume that I want to go near Feng Yao?¡± Long Yu said lightly: ¡°Don¡¯t you want to destroy my cultivation, why do you engage in idle talks?¡± ¡°Since you are so anxious and can¡¯t wait to die, I¡¯ll give you a helping hand.¡± Liu Mingxuan snorted coldly, the Xuan qi began to circte inside his body, and his blue silk robe seemed to be moving with the wind, demonstrating his extraordinary cultivation! Liu Mingxuan swiftly moved his footsteps, and this time, he was using an agility type of martial skill and quickly dashed towards Long Yu. His arms were gradually covered with Xuan qi and congealed two cold dragons that roared loudly, however this time, he actually cast the cold dragon destroyer near the body, and the strength contained in the attack was more! Liu Mingxuan was extremely fast, but at that time, Long Yu disyed the flickering wind step, and simultaneously activated his battle weapon, Blizzard boots, and now his speed was not less than his. Long Yu¡¯s body became light like wind and he instantly dodged to one side. Liu Mingxuan¡¯s cold dragon destroyer actually became an empty shot and hit the void! ¡°You actually have a pair of battle boots!¡± At present, Liu Mingxuan¡¯s eyes were shining and his surprised look was simr to that of Feng Qianqian! ¡°Today, I will waste you without a doubt!¡± Liu Mingxuan said with a deep hatred in his voice and quietly took out a thin ck iron lock from his blue silk robe¡¯s sleeve, which looked like the most insidious snake, and instantly swept towards Long Yu to tie him down. It was actually Liu Mingxuan¡¯s battle weapon and was known as ck iron lock! Liu Mingxuan shook his both arms and once again used the cold dragon destroyer near his body, it was a top grade martial skill, although, he had onlyprehended it to the Xiao Cheng level, but it was still extremely mighty! ¡°Waste, die!¡± With a cruel color in his eyes, Liu Mingxuan swept away both his arms severely towards Long Yu! Not far away, Ling Han raised his head to look and saw that Long Yu was tightly locked by the ck iron lock of Liu Mingxuan, and was about to be hit by his cold dragon destroyer, he could not help but his heart beats suddenly stopped in that instant. ¡°Brother!¡± Ling Han eximed loudly! However, he was toote to take any action because the distance was too far! At this moment, Ling Han saw that Long Yu would be soon hit by the severe punch and would be seriously injured after all he was facing Liu Mingxuan, a master of Wudao seventhyer. No matter how much strong Long Yu might be, he could not possibly withstand this formidable attack! But, Long Yu was destined to shock everyone! Liu Mingxuan¡¯s both arms severely pounded on the shoulders of Long Yu, but the next moment, ¡°Long Yu¡± actually turned into a afterimage and disappeared from the spot, leaving Ling Mingxuan and Ling Han gawking at the scene.` The same technique, an old trick, and actually had the same effect. ¡°You wanted to waste me, didn¡¯t you? Now see, who wastes whom!¡± Long Yu¡¯s voice came from behind Liu Mingxuan, at this time, he was wearing the wandering soul glove in his right hand, covered with ayer of ck mist, and a burst of powerful Zhentian canyon mysterious mood pressure suddenly enveloped the entire body of Liu Mingxuan! ¡­¡­¡­.. Mystique ¨C I can release two sponsored chapters tomorrow, which will depend on donation of course. Next regr chapter shoulde on friday Chapter 36 – Liu Mingxuan crippled(Part 1) Chapter 36 Liu Mingxuan crippled Long Yu, hitherto, hadprehended only a trace of the Zhentian mysterious mood, but with the increase of the level of martial art, his power ofprehending the Zhentian mysterious mood had also considerably enhanced. At this moment, the mysterious mood of the Zhentian canyon hadpletely shrouded Ling Mingxuan, a Wudao seventhyer master, and made his movements very slow, and he felt as if a mounting pressure wasing over him from the heaven making him difficult even to move a bit. The punch that Long Yu swept away was his strongest one, and in order to resist it, Ling Mingxuan could only throw a punch that contained merely 30 % of his strength. Both of their fists collided against each other with a bang, and Long Yu¡¯s fist repulsed Ling Mingxuan¡¯s fist! As Long Yu practiced Demon tyrant form to Da Cheng level, so Ling Mingxuan¡¯s punch simply couldn¡¯t hurt him, but Ling Mingxuan was pushed a few steps back, simultaneously, he also felt as if his fist would break apart. ¡°Waste!¡± Liu Mingxuan¡¯s both eyes seemed to emit fire and could only spit out this word before Long Yu¡¯s attack arrived in a sh. ¡°Look closely, who is the waste in the end? In speed, you are inferior to me! In strength, you are once again inferior to me! Where does that self-confidencee from when you say that you will cripple me?¡± Long Yu said coldly and smashed down punch after punch towards Ling Mingxuan. Liu Mingxuan was a master of Wudao seventhyer, and had reached the strength of 64000 Jin, but Long Yu took the initiative quickly and went on smashing down punch after punch in such a forceful way that wrecked the centre of gravity of his body, so that he actually couldn¡¯t disy his full power. As punch after punch rained on his body, Ling Mingxuan couldn¡¯t withstand them, and when Long Yu finally pounded his 18th punch on his abdomen, his whole body flew backward in an upside down manner. ¡°Since you wanted to cripple me, now, I will first cripple you!¡± Long Yu¡¯s eyes gave a fierce look and he moved forward one step. At that time, Zhentian mysterious moodpletely shrouded Ling Mingxuan. Under the suppression of Zhentian mysterious mood, the injured Ling Mingxuan could not move at all! With a jerk, Long Yu¡¯s figure moved forward, and suddenly changed into light breeze, and in a sh arrived in front of Ling Mingxuan, and swept away a heavy kick towards his Dantian region. Poof! Liu Mingxuan received the heavy kick and his eyes bulged out, his Dantian waspletely destroyed and his Xuan qi was scattered, and his strength vanished all of a sudden. He was a disciple of Hanbing Sect and was at Wudao seventhyer, but instantly turned into a waste and that too by a disciple at merely Wudao sixthyer! Since then, Liu Mingxuan was not only destined to let go of Wudao, but he would forever be known as a waste throughout his life, and was bound to live a humiliating life! ¡°Imperial son, Wang Tianzhuo, will not let you off¡­¡­¡± The severely wounded Liu Mingxuan could barely say these words. ¡°He will not let me off, that is a future matter, but now, you have already been crippled by me.¡± Long Yu said coldly in a winning tone. Liu Mingxuan listened to these words and couldn¡¯t withstand Long Yu¡¯s blow, he suddenly fell down on the ground and fainted. Not far away, Ling Han was ready to take the step to help Long Yu in dealing with Liu Mingxuan together, but now, seeing these series of events, he couldn¡¯t help but stared. ¡°This, how is this possible, Brother Long Yu, even single-handedly crippled Ling Mingxuan¡­¡­¡­.¡± Ling Han couldn¡¯t believe the scene he saw just now! How could a master of Wudao sixthyer beat a master of Wudao seventhyer? Thispletely subverted Ling Han¡¯s awareness of the world of Wudao! At this time, Long Yu felt a surge of blood twisting inside his body which was quite painful. It was a fight of eighteen punches between Long Yu and Ling Mingxuan, although Long Yu ultimately won, but Ling Mingxuan was a master of Wudao seventhyer, so Long Yu also received no light injuries. Fortunately, Long Yu had protection of Da Cheng level Demon tyrant form, so his injuries were not very serious, only by taking a rest for a night, he would be able to fully recover from his injuries. ¡°Well, Brother Ling Han, why were you being chased by Ling Mingxuan?¡± Long Yu tilted his head towards Ling Han and asked. ¡°I found a middle-grade ancient ginseng and was actually besieged by two disciples of Hanbing Sect.¡± Ling Han exined the incidents with a cold look shing in his eyes: ¡°I had finally defeated them with great difficulty, but then this Ling Mingxuan made a sneak attack on me to grab the middle-grade ancient ginseng, but due to fellow brother¡¯s quick wits, he has been crippled!¡± Long Yu listened to it then thought that this Ling Mingxuan was really sinister and deceitful, he was a master of Wudao seventhyer, and even then, in coping with Ling Han, he resorted to make a sneak attack on him, and also frequently talked about crippling others, he was really arrogant and extremely cruel. Now, Long Yu had destroyed his cultivation, and for this, he himself was to me. ¡°Brother, you are not hurt right? This is a middle-grade ancient ginseng, please take it!¡± Ling Han spoke while giving the middle-grade ancient ginseng to Long Yu. Long Yu gawked and said: ¡°Brother, isn¡¯t this a middle-grade ancient ginseng? You are the one who found it, so you should use it.¡± Ling Han heard this and said firmly:¡±Don¡¯t decline, if you had not helped me in time, I would have been definitely caught by that Ling Mingxuan, who would have definitely destroyed my cultivation, and now that you have fought with him heavily, you must build up your consumed strength, so it would be more appropriate that you take this middle-grade ancient ginseng!¡± Build up his strength? Long Yu listened to these words and felt strange, but when he saw that Ling Han was adamant on giving the middle-grade ancient ginseng to him, he had to ept it. The middle-grade ancient ginseng looked slightlyrger than the low-grade ancient ginseng, but it contained richer amount of Lingqi. When Long Yu was about to begin absorption of the Lingqi from middle-grade ancient ginseng, Ling Han, standing on one side, suddenly asked: ¡°Right, brother, why is Sister Feng Qianqian here, and how did she fell unconscious? Moreover, the battle weapon in your hand is¡­..¡± ¡°As soon as she entered the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, she has been continuously with me, until the discovery of the low-grade grade ancient ginseng, and then she made a sneak attack on me to kill me¡± Long Yu exined it in a simple way. Ling Han listened to the sentence, and came to know that what actually happened, and couldn¡¯t help butmented aloud: ¡°But I never imagined that Feng Qianqian could be so stupid, Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest is an opportunity for all to try their chance, but she was so overwhelmed by the feeling of hatred, that she even didn¡¯t hesitate to make a sneak attack on the disciple of the same sect!¡± Chapter 36 – Liu Mingxuan crippled (Part 2) Chapter 36 Liu Mingxuan crippled (Part 2) Ling Han did not me Long Yu. He knew there was some hatred between him and Feng Qianqian, but he never thought that Feng Qianqian would start it so soon. ¡°Brother, you consume the ancient ginseng, while I heal on one side, also keep an eye on the surroundings.¡± Ling Han said it gently and safely hid Feng Qianqian in the middle of the thicket, so as to avoid being discovered by the others. ¡°Ok.¡± Long Yu nodded his head then sat down cross-legged in the ce, then immediately looked at the battle weapon lying on the ground not far from him: ¡°Right, brother, here is Liu Mingxuan¡¯s battle weapon, it is a good one and since you gave me the middle-grade ancient ginseng so please take this battle from my side.¡± Ling Han heard this and his eyes began to shine immediately. ¡°Yes, I would dly take it.¡± He took a couple of steps to reach the ce and picked up the thin ck iron lock. It was a low-grade battle weapon, but if used properly, it could give miraculous effects in the battle. The curtain of night gradually drew on, the silence pervaded everywhere in the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. Although, more than fifty disciples entered thispetition, but the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest had a vast area, so there was a small probability for the people to meet with each other. And in the evening, most of the people would choose to take rest, rather than continuing to move. Long Yu sat cross-legged, and spent the whole night, and as a result of that, the Lingqi of the middle-grade ancient ginseng waspletely absorbed by his body, and his basic strength increased to 40,000 Jin, which was already the limit of Wudao sixthyer. Next, if he did not break through to the Wudao seventhyer then his basic force was impossible to grow again. When the sunlight of the early morning prated the tree shade and fell on Long Yu, then he opened his eyes. There was a bright shine in his eyes. ¡°After having absorbed the Lingqi of the middle-grade ancient ginseng, my basic force is 40,000 Jin, and as a result of the influence of Demon tyrant form, my fist contains the strength more than 50,000 Jin. In addition to it, the strength granted by ¡®Nine hidden Dragon¡¯ is 10,000 Jin, altogether my total strength is more than 60,000 Jin, and while using the battle weapon, wandering soul glove, a master of Wudao seventhyer is not my match.¡± Long Yu now had a clear understanding of his current strength, but he was still not optimistic to immediately go for action. ¡°I will have to break through to the Wudao seventhyer, and for that, I must find a top-grade ancient ginseng, but it is said to appear only once in every two or three years, thepetition is fierce, even if found, it should not be so easy to snatch it¡­¡­¡± Long Yu thought while looking around and saw Ling Han trying to get used to his new battle weapon, ck iron lock. After practicing throughout a night, Ling Han was now able to use the ck iron lock skillfully and his leg that was hurt by Ling Mingxuan¡¯s attack had also almost recovered. ¡°Brother, you woke up.¡± He saw that Long Yu opened his eyes and said with augh, taking big strides, he arrived at his side: ¡°Liu Mingxuan, that waste, I have solved him. Today we set out again to see if we can find more ancient ginseng.¡± Long Yu listened to it and gawked. He never thought that Ling Han could also be so decisive. Originally, Long Yu also thought yesterday to get rid of him, but because of impeding blood cirction in his body, he decided to first absorb the middle-grade ancient ginseng and improve his condition. Now, Ling Han had solved Liu Mingxuan so he didn¡¯t need to dirty his hands. Obviously, Ling Han¡¯s act was warm-blooded and was quite just, but if he had shown womanlypassion and had not killed Ling Mingxuan, then he would have definitely proved to be troublesome in future. ¡°I will not use this ck iron lock unless it is absolutely essential, otherwise other may see it.¡± Ling Han said and hid the ck iron lock in his bosom. They searched all around and confirmed that they had not left any clues behind, and doing so they felt relieved. What was surprising to them was that after gaining consciousness, Feng Qianqian did not pay any attention to them and quietly left the cest night. It seemed like she also realized that after entering the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, the most important thing was searching for ancient ginseng rather than attacking Long Yu once again and asking for death. Needless to say, she was not really the opponent of Long Yu, and even her battle weapon, wandering soul glove, had been taken away from her by Long Yu. After cleaning up the location, Long Yu and Ling Han departed together. Thend area upied by Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest was extremely very vast, and finding an ancient ginseng, especially a top-grade ancient ginseng, was not so easy. Ling Han, walking by the side of Long Yu said: ¡°Right, brother, although I do not know the matter between you and that girl disciple of Hanbing sect, but this Ling Mingxuan said that prince Wang Tianzhuo of the imperial pce likes her, you must be careful!¡± ¡°Brother, don¡¯t worry, there is no rtionship between me and Feng Yao. She even sent people to kill me.¡± Long Yu lightly smiled and didn¡¯t say anything else. Regarding Feng Yao, sooner orter, he would settle his ounts with her! But, Long Yu himself didn¡¯t know that this day was going toe so soon. Before long, they came across a small hill, along the creek all the way to the downstream, saw a vast pool, where many people were confronting each other on the shore. Among them, it was Feng Yao, with her copper sword hanging on her waist, d in a pale green dress swaying in the breeze, making her whole figure look like that of a female immortal. And the reason for the confrontation among these people was actually the presence of the ancient ginseng on the shore of the pool, the top grade ancient ginseng! Mystique ¨C This is thest regr release for this week. I may prepare a mass release of 3-4 sponsored chapters for the weekends, depending on the donation :) Chapter 37 – Snatch ancient ginseng (Part 1) Chapter 37 Snatch ancient ginseng (Part 1) On the shore of the pool, there grew a top-grade of ancient ginseng exuding a rich and wonderful Lingqi that could attract the people within the radius of ten miles. Long Yu and Ling Han were also attracted by this burst of fragrance from the Lingqi of top-grade ancient ginseng. In addition to Feng Yao, two disciples of Hanbing Sect and three disciples of Zhentian Sect, altogether six persons were mutually confronting for the top-grade ancient ginseng. Not only the three female disciples of Hanbing Sect, but the three disciples of Zhentian Sect were also individually vignt at the situation! After all, there was only one top-grade ancient ginseng and the person who could obtain it could promote his own cultivation directly by oneyer, attaining formidable strength! In the face of this opportunity, even the disciples of the same sect would not hesitate to fight with each other. But before this, of course, they naturally must coborate to deal with the outsiders. The three male disciples of Zhentian Sect were the same persons who went with Long Yu and Ling Han on that night to pay tribute to the Royal princess, and it seemed like they entered the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest and remained together all along. But theplexions on the face of these Zhentian disciples did not look very good, because all of them were at the Wudao sixthyer, and even if put together, they were not the opponent of Feng Yao, not to mention, two other female disciples of Hanbing Sect were also present on the scene. However, faced with the temptation of top-grade ancient ginseng, the three of them certainly would not back down without a fight. ¡°It¡¯s the fellow disciples of our sect. I must go and help them!¡± Ling Han and Long Yu hade together to the side of the pool, and on seeing the situation, their blood immediately boiled and Ling Han even wanted to go at once and help them. ¡°Wait, brother!¡± Long Yu said and actually pulled him back: ¡°You only see the disciples of Hanbing Sect and Zhentian Sect on the shore of the pool, but you can¡¯t see the disciples of Qiansi Sect, this situation is quite strange, it is likely that disciples of Qiansi Sect are hiding in the bushes in one side, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack!¡± Ling Han listened and his whole body was suddenly covered in cold sweat. Right, the disciples of Qiansi Sect could manipte their human shadows to fight and their main bodies frankly and uprightly didn¡¯t appear, but at that time, if Long Yu and Ling Han hade out, wouldn¡¯t they have definitely fallen prey to their sneak attacks? While Ling Han thought so, near the side of the pool, six persons started fighting with each other! Feng Yao led the way and while facing the disciples of Zhentian Sect, she would not show any mercy and immediately churned out the cold dragon destroyer, a top-grade martial skill! The cold dragon destroyer cast out by Feng Yao was obviously stronger than that of Liu Mingxuan, showing that Feng Yao was much stronger than Liu Mingxuan, not to mention, hitherto, she had yet to use her copper sword that was still hanging on her waist. That was a top-grade battle weapon, and if she used it, then her power would be unimaginable! After reaching the Da Cheng level, Feng Yao¡¯s cold dragon destroyer martial skill could congeal three Xuan qi cold dragons. These three cold dragons immediately rushed towards the three disciples of Zhentian Sect, and at that time, these three men were thrown in a state of utmost confusion and resorted to agility type of martial skills to escape one by one. ¡°Want to escape?¡± The other two female disciples of Hanbing Sect shouted loudly, and their statures shed quickly and blocked the ways of the three disciples of Zhentian Sect. ¡°Landslide fist!¡± Xuan qi surged out of their bodies at a tremendous speed, and several fists rushed down and instantly routed the two disciples of Zhentian Sect and they fell down heavily on the ground. The remaining disciple, seeing this situation, did not dare to stay there any longer, his figure suddenly rushed sideways and quickly jumped into the grove to hide himself. ¡°Ah!¡± A pitiful yell originated from the grove, obviously, the disciple of Zhentian Sect, who entered the grove just now, encountered a mishap. Seeing this, Feng Yao¡¯splexion slightly changed. ¡°The disciples of Qiansi Sect are hiding in the nearby bushes to ambush us.¡± Feng Yao whispered: ¡°We must take the top-grade ancient ginseng and leave immediately.¡± The other two disciples of Hanbing Sect actually also wanted to obtain the top-grade of ancient ginseng, but since Feng Yao was there, and looking at her formidable strength, they simply had no chance, so for now, all they could do was stay together with Feng Yao. While the three of them were still discussing their next course of action, suddenly a ck shadow glittered near the pool side, and in a blink of an eye, it directly plucked the top-grade of ancient ginseng. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡± Feng Yao¡¯splexion suddenly changed. The ck shadow that came out shortly was actually the humanoid shadow that the disciples of Qiansi Sect could manipte. Shua! Shua! Feng Yao waved her hands in the wind, and immediately, two Xuan qi cold dragons congealed in her hands, and she instantly threw them towards that ck shadow, but that shadow swiftly turned towards a ground post and unexpectedly dodged her attack! Now, the uprooted top-grade ancient ginseng was in the hand of that ck shadow. The ck shadow seeded, and at a lightning speed, it immediately fled towards one side of the grove. ¡°Chase!¡± Feng Yao¡¯s face sank, her stature shed forward. Out of the three disciples of Hanbing Sect, she was the first to start to react. The two other disciples of Hangbing Sect were left behind. They didn¡¯t keep up with Feng Yao immediately, rather both of them decided to catch up after some time, obviously, both had their own thoughts. If Feng Yao caught up the disciple of Qiansi Sect, fought with them and mutually wounded each other, then they could reap benefits! Otherwise, they did not have any hope to win the top-grade ancient ginseng. Feng Yao chased alone and following that ck shadow, she entered the grove. Although, she knew that disciples of Qiansi Sect could manipte their shadows and had an advantage in the shadows of trees, so she could easily lose tracks. But the top-grade ancient ginseng was in the hand of that ck shadow, so she just needed to follow the strong aroma being exuded by that top-grade ancient ginseng, and in doing so, she expected, that she certainly wouldn¡¯t lose the track. But what she did not expect was that as she entered the grove, immediately, there was a burst of Xuan qi that came from the side of the grove and instantly wrapped her legs tightly! ¡°It is the martial art of Qiansi Sect.¡± Fen Yao coldly thought in her mind, immediately looked down and saw two arm shadows that looked simr to a rope had tied down both her legs, and they contained the strength of several thousand Jin, which seemed to be crushing her legs! Chapter 37 – Snatch ancient ginseng (Part 2) Chapter 37 Snatch ancient ginseng (Part 2) ¡°You were tricked.¡± A cloudy sad voice came from the nearby shadow, although, one could not locate its position, but it was clear that the ck shadows were not far from where Feng Yao was standing. The disciples of Qiansi Sect practiced shadow tactics, and had the ability to manipte shadows. Moreover, this sect¡¯s martial skills were rted to the maniption shadows. For example, now, the disciples of Qiansi sect were hiding, and the manipted shadow nearby the old tree had directly entangled the legs of Feng Yao. The shadow of the giant old tree was covered with Xuan qi and easily covered the body of Feng Yao, as if to suppress her whole person and tear to shreds! But the next moment, a burst of freezing cold qi suddenly erupted from Feng Yao¡¯s body. ¡°Ice moon sword tactics!¡± A bright and cold sword light instantly broke through the shadow that had enveloped her body, and immediately, she leapt high in the air and quickly hacked her sword in the other direction. ¡°Ice moon sword tactics!¡± It contained the Swordqi together with ice cold breath, and simr to a round crescent moon, it instantaneously cut off a sturdy old tree. That sturdy old tree copsed loudly, but after the old tree came crashing down, there was only the wisp like breath of Qiansi sect¡¯s disciple behind the tree and she did not see him. ¡°Top-grade ancient ginseng, this way!¡± Fen Yao did not hesitate to continue to chase with the perception towards the depths of the bushes. With her top-grade battle weapon, copper sword, she even could face a master of Wudao eightyer, so she confidently went on chasing and boldly entered the grove. But in the grove, the shadows proliferated, and suddenly, the two shadows, which were like sinister poisonous snakes, entangled her ankle once again. ¡°It¡¯s like being haunted a ghost!¡± Feng Yao¡¯s face gave an impatient look, and she wanted to cut it, but she saw that several shadows suddenly began to rush towards her at a tremendous speed from all directions. The ice moon sword tactics that she disyed was greatly strengthened, but in the face of shadows rushing towards her to strangle her to death, she couldn¡¯t respond at once! ¡°So many shadows, so rich Xuan qi fluctuations, there are definitely more than one person!¡± Feng Yao responded instantaneously, however, she knew that she had stepped into the trap, and soon she would be strangled to death, but suddenly, all of the shadows retreated and dispersed. ¡°What?¡± Feng Yao wrinkled her eyebrows and didn¡¯t understand that what actually happened. The opposite partyunched the attack vigorously, why would they evacuate so quickly and all of a sudden? However, she soon understood the reason. Because not far from the grove, she heard the sound of fighting, the sound of the collision of Xuan qi wasing from there. Obviously, the rich aroma of the top-grade ancient ginseng had attracted the other people, distracting those disciples of Qiansi Sect. In fact, Long Yu and Ling Han were the two persons, who at this time, were fighting with the disciples of Qiansi Sect. They hide themselves secretly in the grove, and now, they just climbed up an old tree to see the situation, and found that there were three disciples of Qiansi Sect, the two were at Wudao seventhyer and one was at Wudao sixthyer. When these three besieged Feng Yaopletely, then Long Yu and Ling Han suddenly attacked and beheaded the two masters of Wudao seventhter and quickly snatched the top-grade ancient ginseng from them! Although, thebat style of the disciples of Qiansi Sect was strange, but near their bodies, they didn¡¯t have strong battle efficiency, hence Long Yu and Ling Han coborated together and beheaded them easily. ¡°The top-grade ancient ginseng, we seeded.¡± The top-grade ancient ginseng was in Long Yu¡¯s hand, and at that time, there was a happy expression on his face. Nearby, Ling Han said in somewhat exciting tone: ¡°Brother, you take this ginseng and leave first, I can stop these people!¡± He could feel that if Long Yu absorbed the Lingqi from the top-grade ancient ginseng, then he might be promoted to the Wudao seventhyer! Now, Long Yu was at Wudao sixthyer, and he could defeat a master of Wudao seventhyer, and when he would be promoted to Wudao seventhyer, then would he not be able to beat a master of Wudao eighthyer? After that, Long Yu could freely walk in the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest and search for ancient ginsengs for the benefit of the disciples of Zhentian Sect! Ling Han¡¯s reason to make such a decision was because he was still far away from having a breakthrough to the Wudao eighthyer, and even the top-grade ancient ginseng wouldn¡¯t necessarily let him break into Wudao eighthyer. So, handing it over to Long Yu would obviously be more effective. Long Yu had never been an indecisive person, when he thought about Ling Han¡¯s strength, leaving him here should not be a matter of danger for him. He took the top-grade ancient ginseng and turned to leave! At this ce, the situation was tooplicated, not only the disciples of Qiansi Sect were secretly hiding in the grove, but Feng Yao and the other two female disciples of Hanbing Sect were also present. The most important thing was that if Long Yu stayed there for a long time then the strong aroma of the top-grade ancient ginseng would attract other people, and if he encountered a master of Wudao eighthyer then the situation would be very unfavorable. Therefore, at this time, the urgent matter was to leave the ce with the top-grade ancient ginseng and look for a safe ce to absorb its Lingqi and attempt to break through to the Wudao seventhyer! ¡°Flickering wind step, Blizzard boots!¡± With a determination to leave the ce as soon as possible, Long Yu resorted to the peak level of flickering wind step and simultaneously activated the Blizzard boots and moved towards the depths of the forest! However, a ck shadow instantly followed Long Yu at a speed actually faster than him. Poof! Poof! Poof! A series of long needles were fired at him by that shadow! ¡°Is that the martial skill of Qiansi Sect?¡± Upon seeing this, Long Yu didn¡¯t hesitate to take one twinkling step and crossed a distance of 30 feet in a blink of an eye, and he turned his body to one side and easily evaded the attack of long needles. Then, the shadow suddenly disappeared without a trace. Long Yu knew that Ling Han was there in the grove, and by this time, he would have certainly found the main body of the disciple of Qiansi Sect and would have silenced him so that the opposite party would not continue to pester him. At that time, Ling Han killed the Wudao sixthyer disciple of Qiansi Sect hiding at the top of an old tree, and then he saw Feng Yao chasing with the cooper sword in her hand. ¡°Before you pursue him, you will have to first deal with me!¡± Ling Han shouted and jumped down from the tree! Chapter 38 – Opening the heavenly arteries (Part 1) Chapter 38 Opening the heavenly arteries (Part 1) Long Yu left the ce with tremendous speed with the top-grade ancient ginseng to avoid fighting, and at that time, Ling Han jumped from the tree right in front of Feng Yao and directly blocked her path. ¡°Ling Han? You get out of the way.¡± Feng Yao¡¯splexion slightly changed. She knew Ling Han¡¯s strength, and among the 16 disciples of Zhentian Sect, he was only second to Tan Jian! If Ling Han was bent upon stopping her then she certainly wouldn¡¯t be able to chase Long Yu. As a result, the top-grade ancient ginseng might slip away from her hand! ¡°Ha ha, making me get out of your way would be impossible.¡± Ling Hanughed: ¡°You will have to step from my body if you want to go!¡± ¡°You are acting recklessly!¡± Feng Yao¡¯splexion sank. And suddenly she waved her copper sword and ayer of Sword qi condensed on it and she immediately swept away that ice moon Sword qi, which rushed towards Ling Han at a tremendous speed. Ling Han was already prepared to react, then he looked towards his right leg and the underfoot soil began to float off which immediately took a shape of a bulk that fused with Xuan qi and formed a rock shield wall in from of him. ¡°Imperial Rock!¡± Ling Han shouted loudly, and the rock shield wall was hit by Feng Yao¡¯s Sword qi with a bang, but it was absolutely still! Imperial rock was a popr defense type martial skill of Zhentian Sect. This martial skill actually belonged to the top grade, and it was very difficult to practice, but once it was practiced to the Da Cheng level then its practitioner could be able to form a rock shield wall, which was a strong defense capability! Ling Han obviously had practiced the imperial rock martial skill to its Da Cheng level. ¡°Ice moon nimble and resourceful!¡± But, Feng Yao didn¡¯t care about Ling Han¡¯s rock shield wall, her stature shed and she resorted to ¡®Ice moon nimble and resourceful¡¯ martial skill that she had practiced to the peak level providing tremendous eleration to her agility! Any martial skill, if practiced to the peak level, would have a qualitative change, Ice moon nimble and resourceful was also the same. If practiced to the Da Cheng, one could be able to disy ice moon Sword qi, and if practiced to the peak level, then one could be able to condense ice moon Sword qi, increasing the speed of its practitioner tremendously. Feng Yao, immediately stepped her foot on the sludge of icy wind and instantly bypassed the rock shield wall and gave a fast chase to Long Yu. ¡°Your opponent is me!¡± Ling Hanughed, and he waved his hand and, that rock shield wall actually transformed into a shield wall soil fist that rushed towards Feng Yao at breakneck speed to catch her up. Actually, he had practiced to the peak level of the Imperial rock! Faced with these soil fists, Feng Yao simply found it impossible to go forward, she knitted her ck eyebrows and hastily turned around to cope with them. While they fought fiercely, to the side of the same ce, some of the disciples of Qiansi Sect were hiding behind the old tree, also wanted to seize the opportunity to overtake Long Yu, but unexpectedly the soil fists of Ling Han rumbled towards the old tree and smashed thempletely, thus bringing an end to their evil design of chasing after Long Yu. Depending on his wonderful strength, Ling Han, unexpectedly and single-handedly not only stopped Feng Yao, but also checked the disciples of Qiansi Sect from chasing Long Yu. ¡­¡­ Long Yu disyed the flickering wind step and simultaneously stimted the blizzard boots, and in a time of sipping one cup of tea, he crossed a distance of 10 miles, and brought the rich Lingqi exuding top-grade ancient ginseng far away from the area where Ling Han and others were fighting. Long Yu naturally moved towards a remote ce and constantly changed his routes all along the way leaving no clue for tracking If anyone tried to search him along the direction of his running, they would absolutely not be able to find him. ¡°I should immediately consume the top-grade ancient ginseng!¡± Although, Long Yu was temporarily safe and he chose an enough high tree of 20 to 30 feet high and crawled up to its top. In this way, even if someone would be close then he could first detect them. The top-grade ancient ginseng was exuding a rich intoxicating aura, if the Lingqi contained in it waspletely absorbed by Long Yu, then it would greatly enhance his power. ¡°Nine hidden Dragon Mark activate.¡± Long Yu immediately activated ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ to guide him in fast absorption of the Lingqi of the top-grade ancient ginseng! At this moment, Long Yu could not help but thought, if he could have a way to cover up the top-grade ancient ginseng then he could have absorbed its Lingqi with more peace of mind. Just as he thought, a burst of ck light shed from the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯. Then, he saw that upper surface of the top-grade ancient ginseng was covered with the ck traces of lines, which were same as the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯. The exudation of the rich Lingqi of the top-grade ancient ginseng which was spreading beyond many miles suddenly vanished without any trace. At this time, Long Yu gawked and was pleasantly surprised! ¡°Nine hidden Dragon Mark can actually shield the exudation of Lingqi, this ability simply goes against the heaven¡¯s will, how did I not know about it earlier.¡± Now, Long Yu waspletely safe, even if someone woulde near the tree, they wouldn¡¯t be able to guess that someone was hiding at the top of the tree and absorbing a top-grade ancient ginseng! A top-grade ancient ginseng was extremely rare and it would appear once in every two or three years in the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. only after two or three years. And now, it was in Long Yu¡¯s hand. ¡°Ling Han, now I owe you a big one.¡± Long Yu thought in his mind, then didn¡¯t hesitate anymore and immediately swallowed the top-grade ancient ginseng in one gulp and quickly began to absorb the Lingqi from it! Its rich Lingqi began to melt in his stomach, and Long Yu immediately felt that Xuan qi was surging up in his whole body at a greater extent than the time he was absorbing the low-grade ancient ginseng. ¡°Wudao seventhyer, it seems I will achieve it with no problem, just don¡¯t know whether I can meet the bottleneck.¡± Long Yu thought in his mind and started absorbing the rich Lingqi of the top-grade ancient ginseng to break through to the Wudao seventhyer. Chapter 38 – Opening up the heavenly arteries (Part 2) Chapter 38 Opening up the heavenly arteries (Part 2) After reaching the Wudao seventhyer, the masters could assign away the Xuan qi, but the key was that they must make a connection with the most essential passages of the whole body through which vital energy circted ¨C Heavenly arteries. By opening the Heavenly arteries, one could control the whole body passages through which vital energy circted, they would open and close freely, hence the control of Xuan qi would be ten times more flexible than before. Moreover, Heavenly arteries would have many more vital functions in the future martial arts realm, in fact it could be said that for martial cultivators, the importance of Heavenly arteries was not inferior to the Dantian! ¡°Heavenly arteries, open up!¡± As Long Yu shouted severely, the Xuan qi began to surge in his whole body and started rushing towards the source of Heavenly arteries, and attacked them again and again, the motive was to make a connection and directly stride into the Wudao seventhyer. The 30% Lingqi of the top-grade ancient ginseng waspletely absorbed by him, making him feel that Wudao seventhyer was at hand. However, within his entire body, the Heavenly arteries actually didn¡¯t break through, creating a major barrier between him and the Wudao seventhyer. ¡°Nine hidden Dragon Mark, activate!¡± At that time, ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ had stored up 70% Lingqi of the top-grade ancient ginseng, and when Long Yu began its absorption, it formed turbulent tides one after another continuously and went on attacking the Heavenly arteries. Thump! Thump! Thump! Long Yu¡¯s heart beats began to maintain the rhythm along with the Xuan qi which went on violently attacking the Heavenly arteries again and again. Finally, when only 30% Lingqi of the top-grade ancient ginseng still remained to be absorbed, he noticed that the blockage in the Heavenly arteries finally opened up and these arteries werepletely linked up under the sessive impacts of Xuan qi. Buzz! Long Yu felt as if a miraculous glow had broken through his head, making him establish some kind of vague link with the entire world. Heavenly arteries were the essential passages among the meridians through which the energy circted, and only by relying on these Heavenly arteries, one would be able to feel the presence of the worldws and principles. And Long Yu had already walked at this step. ¡°Zhentian mysterious mood, it seems as if there is a trend that leads to this breakthrough. Could it be that it¡¯s because of the Heavenly arteries that strengthens the induction ability of worldws and principles?¡± Long Yu thought, no wonder the core disciples were able toprehend the mysterious mood of corew, because as the Wudaoyer of the martial artists enhanced, the Heavenly arteries throughout the body opened up and were linked together, hence their sensibility of the worldws and principles would increase to another level. Now, Long Yu¡¯s Heavenly arteries finally opened up and it seemed like hisprehension of the Zhentian mysterious mood was about to break through to the Zhentian charm. ¡°Almost, I am only missing an opportunity then I canprehend Zhentian charm that will strengthen the suppression worldw!¡± Long Yu¡¯s eyes shed with anticipation then he jumped down from that old tree¡¯s top of andnded heavily on the ground. After the breakthrough to the Wudao seventhyer, the most direct change was the enhancement of the strength in his body. His basic strength of 32,000 Jin from Wudao sixthyer increased to the current strength of 64,000 Jin. In addition to that, he had Demon tyrant form and ¡®Nine hidden dragon mark¡¯, granting him the fist strength of ** ten thousand Jin! Of course, even after reaching Wudao seventhyer, Long Yu was still not very powerful. Since thest awakening of memories of the ¡®Nine hidden dragon mark¡¯, Long Yu knew that the true and major transformation in the martial strength urred while stepping into the Wudao eighthyer. ¡°Warriors of Wudao eighthyer possess the strength of 120,000 Jin, although if I use the wandering soul glove, there will be enhancement in my strength, but the masters of Wudao eighthyer certainly possess a special strength, it will not be so easy to defeat them ¡­¡­ ¡± Long Yu thought to himself, at his current strength, he should be able to give strongpetition to the master of Wudao eighthyer, but when actual battle experience was taken into consideration then they wouldn¡¯t necessarily be his rivals. However, if he could get deeper insight into the charm of Zhentian mysterious mood, then it would mean bigger assurance for Long Yu during his fight with a master of Wudao eighthyer. ¡°I first need to look for Ling Han, after that I will focus onprehending the implication of ¡®suppression worldw¡¯ in the mysterious mood.¡± Long Yu calcted the time and discovered that almost 2 hours had passed since the time Ling Han jumped down from the tree to stop his pursuers. Such a long time had already passed, he did not know about the current situation of Ling Han. He disyed the peak level flickering wind step and returned along the same route. Soon, he returned to that pool where top-grade ancient ginseng had grown. Long Yu had run through the jungle, but did not hear any sounds of fighting. Long Yu carefully searched and found three corpses hidden in the woods and belonged to the disciples of Qiansi sect. ¡°It seems like Brother Ling Han should be all right, but nothing seems to have happened to that Feng Yao as well¡­¡­¡± Long Yu thought in mind, even though he could not find them, he was not puzzled from this, because he knew that depending on Feng Yao¡¯s strength, it would not be easy for her to kill Ling Han. Just when Long Yu was about to set out to find them, suddenly, he heard the sound of fighting from the pool¡¯s direction. ¡°Fight?¡± Long Yuplexion slightly changed, he immediately used a twinkling step and hid among the dark trees then looked in the direction of the pool. He saw that it was not Feng Yao, Ling Han and other pursuers, but were actually the strongest disciple of Wudao eighthyer from Zhentian sect, Tan Jian, as well as other two Wudao eighthyer martial artists. ¡°Tan Jian and two other masters of Wudao eighthyer from Hanbing sect!¡± Long Yu¡¯s eyes shone brightly, he actually never expected to see this trio right on! Among them was a pair of a man and a woman, both had thin statures and were at Wudao eightyer, but waving among blooming over ten kilograms of force,pelling Tan Jian to draw back step by step! And Tan Jian seemed to have many scruples and was retreating step by step with a fierce look on his face. ¡°Top-grade ancient ginseng, so they are fighting for a top-grade ancient ginseng!¡± Long Yu sensed a unique breath exuding from Tan Jian, and he was able to tell the difference, it was obvious that the fragrance of a top-grade ancient ginseng was mixed in the aura of Tan Jian. ¡°No wonder that these two have surrounded Tan Jian, this guy has actually consumed a top-grade ancient ginseng ¡­¡­¡± A cold look shed in Long Yu¡¯s eyes. Since the day he entered the Zhentian sect, this Tan Jian had been causing trouble for him, but he was strong enough to survive all this time, otherwise he would probably have already been crippled, or even killed! Now that he had a chance to benefit from another¡¯s strife, he must ambush Tan Jian. Long Yu would certainly not miss this opportunity. The best case scenario should be to catch Tan Jian and the Hanbing sect¡¯s pair and eliminate all of them in one fell swoop! Chapter 39 – Fierce battle (Part 1) Chapter 39 Fierce battle (Part 1) On the pool shore, a thin man, a thin woman and Tan Jian were engaged in intense fighting, but they had not slightly realized that a brave fighter was hiding on the side of the grove and waiting for an opportunity toe out and attack. ¡°Tan Jian, you have robbed the top-grade ancient ginseng, you should know there will be consequences.¡± That thin man sneered, his voice reflected hoarseness! ¡°Ha ha!¡± Tan Jian resisted their attacks, whileughing wildly: ¡°Consequences, what consequences? Depending on your strength, you actually think that I am inadequate?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be too arrogant, you are at Wudao eighthyer, but the two of us, are also at Wudao eighthyer.¡± That slim woman coldly snorted: ¡°It¡¯s a two vs one fight, you will obviously lose!¡± Through her words, she was trying to apply psychological pressure on Tan Jian, so that he could not disy his full strength in the fighting. However, Tan Jian was a man of firm mind, and of course, he was not at all affected by these words. He said coldly: ¡°Hua Qing and Hua Yun, you two seriously think that after absorbing the top-grade ancient ginseng, this Tan Jian¡¯s strength will be inferior to thebined strength of the two of you?¡± As voice fell down, Xuan qi began to congeal at one foot of Tan Jian, and suddenly ayer ofnd was stripped of and united to form a rock shield wall in front of him. It was a top-grade martial skill, Imperial rock! A rock shield wall instantly appeared in front of Tan Jian to withstand the anticipated attack of Hua Qin and Hua Yun likely to beunched shortly, he was confident that they couldn¡¯t be able to break it. ¡°In Hanbing sect, the core disciples also practiced simr type of martial skill, although, you both are at Wudao eightyer, but are actually not core disciples.¡± Tan Jian, thus, formed the rock shield wall and calmly said: ¡°I¡¯d like to see, is there any way you can break this wall of rock!¡± ¡°Humph!¡± Hua Qing, the thin man, saw the wall and lightly gave a cold hmph in a hoarse voice, and immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hands and suddenly three cold Xuan qi dragons began to condense on them and rushed towards Tan Jian at a tremendous speed. Cold dragon destroyer, the Da Cheng level of top-grade martial skill! Three cold Xuan qi dragons attacked from three different directions, and Tan Jian quickly waved his hand and the rock shield wall in front of him began to expand rapidly until it dashed against the three cold Xuan qi dragons. Boom! Boom! Boom! The three cold Xuan qi dragons bombarded over the rock shield wall, but simply had actually no impact on the defensive power of the rock shield wall, that might be called very terrifying, unexpectedly gorgeously remained motionless! Then, however, that thin woman, Hua Yun said with a contemptuous smile on her face. ¡°This rock shield wall defense, although is strong, but the speed is actually too slow, now see my picking flowers flying leaves martial skill.¡± Picking flowers flying leaves! Hua Yun waved her hand gently and Xuan qi began to agglomerate at her fingertips, congealing round countless flowers and leaves, each piece was unexpectedly sharp like the knife point! ¡°What martial skill is this?¡± Tan Jian said with a somewhat dignified look on his face. He well remembered that he had carefully read the bamboo slip that Elder Yu gave him, but it had actually not recorded this martial skill, might it be a martial skill belonging to the family of Hua Qin and Hua Yun? The next moment, the countless flowers and leaves that had congealed at the finger tips of Hua Yun suddenly rushed like knifes towards Tan Jian at a tremendous speed! Picking flowers flying leaves, a top-grade martial skill was not only incredibly powerful, the most important thing associated with it was that it was fast, all-pervasive, and was very appropriate to be used to deal with such royal rock defense martial art! Everywhere these flying flowers and leaves, which were in the shapes of knives, enveloped the whole body of Tan Jian. Although, the shield wall rock was a strong defense, and at that moment, it was not slightest affected move, but these flowers and leaves in the shapes of knives were very fast and tricky and in a blink of an eye, they changed their directions and bypassing the shield wall, they reached in front of Tan Jian Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua! A series of metallic sounds resounded when these flowers and leaves severely hit on the body of Tan Jian and simply generated tinkling sounds. ¡°A defensive armor?¡± Hua Yun¡¯s face slightly changed and she gave a nce at Tan Jian, who was actually wearing defense armor! Tan Jian jumped into the sky and shook his body and easily resisted this move without any loss. ¡°Tan Jian is indeed worth of his name.¡± On the side, Long Yu was observing the fight and he couldn¡¯t help but think in his mind that if he faced Tan Jian now, then it would be quite impossible for him to break through his defense. This guy actually seemed to have practiced the Imperial Rock probably to the Da Cheng level, might be to the peak level, plus wore a defensive armor, he was just as hard as a tortoiseshell! ¡°How was it?¡± Tan Jian firmly stood and said to Hua Yun with a mocking look in his eyes: ¡°Your attack failed? Are you desperate now? Then it¡¯s my turn!¡± Tan Jian¡¯s burly body stood as a rock and suddenly stretched out his hand, immediately a ck mist began to congeal on it and he at once swept it away towards Hua Yun.! ¡°Detaining soul hand, be careful!¡± Hua Qing gave a silent reminder to his sister but he himself didn¡¯t have pause and finally took out his battle weapon. It was a sharp double-edged sword its edge was reflecting silver light. Soon, Xuan qi began to condense on the sword de, and in an instant, it was covered with ayer of snow and ice, and a cold winter seemed to have arrived in the nearby region. ¡°Kill!¡± Taking advantage of Tan Jian¡¯s release of Detaining soul hand towards Hua Yun, Hua Qin disyed his fencing skill and took out his sword to kill Tan Jian! But, in a sh, Tan Jian¡¯s ghost like w arrived in front of Hua Yun, and Hua Yun¡¯s reaction speed was less than his. She was directly covered by it, and suddenly, her whole body seemed to have been bewitched and was unable to move. ¡°Come!¡± Tan Jian shouted and stimted the cirction of Xuan qi in his body. After practicing the detaining soul hand to the peak level, he was able to instantly catch the soul, and all of a sudden, he grasped the tender body of Hua Yun. ¡°You want to kill me, see how I kill you!¡± Tan Jian looked to his side and saw Hua Qing¡¯ swording at him, andughed, then quickly waved his right hand and grabbed Hua Yun and immediately put her in front of him while keeping her straight in the line of Hua Qing¡¯s sword attack. Hua Qing tried to pause a little, but his speed was very fast, so his sword directly pierced into the body of Hua Yun! Tan Jian¡¯s smiling face became stiff at this scene, what happened, had Hua Qing actually gone mad to use his sword to kill his own sister? Chapter 39 – strong battle (Part 2) Chapter ¨C 39 strong battle (Part 2) But soon, Tan Jian knew that was not the case! The double edged sword prated into Hua Yun¡¯s tender body, but not the slightest blood spilled out, followed by her figure changing into flying leaves and dispersed everywhere! It was the false body of Hua Yun! The next moment, Hua Qing waved his double edged sword in his hand and the ice cold Swordqi directly came in front of Tan Jian! Meanwhile, Hua Yun¡¯s false body that had turned into flying leaves moved sideways and got restructured behind Tan Jian to attack his back side and kill him! After these attacks, Tan Jian¡¯s eyes shed fiercely and he finallyunched a counter attack. ¡°Imperial rock, fist of earth!¡± The rock shield wall instantly transformed into hundreds of soil fists and rushed towards both of them at a tremendous speed! Hua Qing immediately resorted to agility type martial skill to avoid this attack from Tan Jian, and the next moment, he waved his sword covered in cold Swordqi and thrust it perpendicrly towards Tan Jian! The speed of Hua Yun¡¯s picking flowers flying leaves martial skill was quite terrifying, she moved sideways and easily dodged Tan Jian¡¯s attack and arrived close to him. ¡°Landslide fist!¡± Although it was a simple punch because she disyed an ordinary martial skill but the power contained in her fist was not one bit inferior to other top-grade martial skills. ¡°Perfection level martial skill!¡± Tan Jian¡¯s heart trembled and felt the presence of a perfection level martial skill right behind himpelling him to give his all to deal with it. If a martial skill was practiced to the perfection level, the might of the practitioner became extremely fearful! Beginner level, Xiao Cheng level, Dacheng level, peak level and perfection level. Martial skills had various levels and throughprehension, the level of practice increased and the power would also increase dramatically with each level rise. The might of perfection levelndslide fist was very high andpelled Tan Jian to pay attention to it, because it could easily prate his defense armor and directly injure him! When Landslide fist was practiced to the perfection level, its might actually increased to a horrifying extent! Although, Hua Yun was thin and weak, but thendslide fist that she resorted to was extremely fierce and quickly approached Tan Jian¡¯s back. And in front of Tan Jian, Ice cold sword light was also arriving at this time. Two attacks wereing at him from front and back, the situation was extremely critical! ¡°Imperial rock, explode!¡± Tan Jian clenched his teeth. With the burst of the Imperial rock, first the rock changed into the storm of soil in the surrounding area and it rushed towards Hua Qin and Hua Yun and hit them and exploded them away. At that moment, a loud crashing sound was heard and the dust spread everywhere in the field. This was the sound of ice cold sword light andndslide fist colliding with the shield rock wall, all these attacks were mixed in together, and Long Yu couldn¡¯t see clearly what actually happened in the end. Suddenly. ¡°Bang.¡± The two thin figures were shot to fly into the air. One fell into the pool, spraying out blood from his mouth, and another fell heavily on the ground, and was extremely embarrassed. When dust dispersed, Long Yu finally saw that Tan Jian vomited blood while kneeling on the ground, his clothes had been torn to pieces, and even within the clothes several holes had appeared on his blue defense armor. Evidently that battle weapon, the defense armor, had also been damaged. When he looked at the side of the ground, he saw Hua Yun lying on the ground and her gray clothes were torn away from her body, revealing the tempting white color of her skin from top to bottom. On the shore of the pool, Hua Qin had a tough time climbing up from the pool water to the ground and was clearly wounded heavier than Hua Yun. ¡°They mutually wounded each other ¡­¡­¡± Long Yu smiled, in such a situation, even these three Wudao eighthyer masters could not be considered as threat to him. His only opponent, now, was the princess of Qiansi Sect! Long Yu stood up and was ready to leave quietly. Although, he wanted to kill all three of these disciples to eliminate the future trouble, but even if the three of them were seriously injured, after all they were masters of Wudao eighthyer and still held certain battle efficiency. If Tan Jian, Hua Qin and Hua Yun coborated and fought against him, though he would still be able to kill them off but he himself would be seriously battered after the battle which was simply unnecessary at this time since Tan Jian had already consumed the top-grade ancient ginseng during this fight. But just when Long Yu turned around and wanted to go, he suddenly felt that his feet had been suddenly shackled. Disciples of Qiansi Sect! Long Yu narrowed his eyes then looked down and saw two shadow hands had firmly tied down his feet, while four old tree shadows were advancing towards Long Yu to strangle him. ¡°Besides the princess of Qiansi sect, I am not really afraid of any other disciple from Qiansi sect!¡± Long Yu¡¯s eyes revealed a cold look. He originally didn¡¯t want to waste time here, but since these people wanted to sneak attack on him, then no wonder he would fight back without showing any mercy! ¡°Demon tyrant form!¡± Long Yu had practiced Demon tyrant form which was a very formidable body refining martial skill and he was confident that mere a shadow could never be able to strangle him. ¡°Zhentian mysterious mood, congeal!¡± Long Yu released Zhentian mysterious mood, that had be much more powerful after linking the heavenly arteries, and all of a sudden, it let Long Yu found the hiding ce of that disciple of Qiansi Sect. At the peak of the old tree, on the left side of Long Yu, the disciple of Qiansi Sect was envelopedpletely by the suppression of the mysterious mood and his breath was obstructed by Long Yu¡¯s keen detection! ¡°Flickering wind step, three twinkling steps!¡± Long Yu¡¯s stature shed, suddenly leaving an afterimage behind, and he himself crossed a distance of 100 feet instantaneously and appeared right behind the disciple of Qiansi Sect. ¡°Die!¡± Long Yu activated ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯, wore the wandering soul glove and condensed the strength of more than 100,000 Jin in his fist and pounded heavily on the back of that disciple of Qiansi Sect. Bang! That disciple of Qiansi Sect, dressed in ck dress, was at Wudao seventhyer directly received the blow to his back, emitting blood from his mouth, he fell down from the tree in the grove and waspletely motionless. Now that Long Yu had entered into the Wudao seventhyer, a master at the Wudao seventhyer was simply not his match and was just like a chicken in front of a dog. However, the sound produced suddenly attracted the attention of the three people standing at the side of the pool. Hua Qin, Hua Yun and Tan Jian, all of them almost simultaneously looked towards the peak of the old tree and saw Long Yu! Chapter 40 – Comprehends charm (Part 1) Chapter ¨C 40 Comprehends charm (Part 1) Long Yu was at the peak of an old tree, and Hua Qing, Hua Yu and Tan Jian simultaneously looked at him. ¡°It¡¯s that waste!¡± Tan Jian, although was injured, but a malicious fiery color still emerged out in his eyes. He well remembered that in Zhentian Sect, Long Yu kicked Tan Yu¡¯s and broke her thigh bone and he had severely injured Fang Kang, his personal attendant. His heart was full of hatred for Long Yu and he would not let him off so easily! Hua Yun saw Long Yu and became extremely angry as well as ashamed and embarrassed at the same time, because now her clothes were ragged and her attractive white skin was visible. A brat like him actually saw her naked body! ¡°You saw my body, you will have to die!¡± Hua Yun¡¯s eyes exposed an insidious color, whether it was Tan Jian or Long Yu, she would not spare their lives! ¡°Brother, you take care of Tan Jian, I go kill that kid first!¡± Hua Yun said in an inspiring tone, and suddenly with a gust of wind blew her body in the air like a flying leaf and moved with a great speed towards the ce where Long Yu was standing! ¡°Go away, that kid¡¯s life, is mine!¡± Tan Jian shouted loudly, took a step and stomped his feet on the ground, and suddenly, there emerged a shield wall rock, which instantly changed into a hundreds of soil fists that immediately rushed towards Long Yu at a tremendous speed. Long Yu stood at the peak of the tree while his heart waspletely calm. Initially, he wanted to leave quietly to save time and to see if he could find more ancient ginsengs in the forest. But now, since they didn¡¯t intend to let him go, so he would certainly not back down! ¡°Well, I would like to see how strong the masters of Wudao eighthyer actually are.¡± Long Yu¡¯s eyes shone brightly. He activated his Blizzard boots that suddenly pushed his body, he jumped from the peak of the tree, and voluntarily went up to resist the picking flowers and falling leaves attack of Hua Yun and the soil fists of Tan Jian, he just wanted to test their might! ¡°Demon vajra cover!¡± The Xuan qi began to umte on Long Yu¡¯s body, and in no time, ayer of pale golden light suddenly surfaced on his body making it impregnable! ng ng! The picking flowers and falling leaves des hit on Long Yu¡¯s body producing only a metal nging sound and couldn¡¯t hurt him even a bit. Hundreds of soil fists also exploded one after another on him, but still couldn¡¯t break through that cover of pale golden light on his body. And with a loud sound, Long Yunded firmly on the ground near the pool and thending shock produced a cloud of dust in the surrounding area. Tan Jian stood 50 feet away from him to one side, Hua Qing stood 100 feet away from him near the edge of the pool, and Hua Yun, who had just shot the move of the picking flowers and falling leaves, was on another direction. Long Yu was surrounded by three masters of Wudao eighthyer! ¡°You really have a death wish¡± Tan Jian stood up and his face had a color of mockery. He lightly said to both Hua Yun and Hua Qing: ¡°I have grudges against both of you, but we must first kill this kid first, then we will settle our ounts, what do you say?¡± ¡°I have no idea.¡± Hua Yun said haggardly. She stood at a far distance, her torn clothes were fluttering in the wind, her white skin was partly hidden and partly visible. ¡°Then kill him first.¡± Hua Qing stood up from the side of the pool with a sword covered with Xuan qi of ice and cold. Three strong masters had a rough fight, their injuries were not light, now a kid suddenly appeared and wanted to pick up a bargain, it was as if he was joking around with three masters of the Wudao eighthyer. These three masters of Wudao eighthyer were discussing the things with each other, obviously Long Yu had no value in their eyes, but at that time, they were already injured, so they decided to coborate and kill Long Yu first. They also saw that Long Yu easily withstood both the picking flowers and falling leaves attack and soil fists attacks, in spite of being only at Wudao seventhyer. If they didn¡¯t join forces, it would not be easy for them to kill Long Yu. ¡°Waste, we three are masters of Wudao eighthyer, when you die, you should feel honored.¡± Tan Jian sneered and moved forward to prevent Long Yu from escaping. ¡°Why do you seem so sure that I am going to die?¡± Long Yu indifferently said. Hearing this, all three strong masters of Wudao eighthyer suddenlyughed disdainfully. ¡°Ha ha, who do you think you are?¡± Tan Jian contemptuouslyughed: ¡°Even if I was the only one here, there simply is no way for you to escape! Now, just go down easily without causing too much trouble!¡± ¡°This fight is between strong masters, a guy like you has tried to meddle, it is a dead end for you.¡± Hua Qing moved forward step by step with a sword in his hand and there was a proud look on his face. As Tan Jian said, even Hua Qing could single-handedly cut Long Yu by his sword, needless to say if the three joined forces then logically speaking, a Wudao seventhyer master like Long Yu should obviously perish. ¡°Do not talk nonsense, just do it!¡± Hua Yun shouted and stepped forward, and the next moment, the Xuan qi began to circte in her entire body, and she transformed into flying leaves and flew towards Long Yu. But then, from a far distance, a loud roar came from the forest. ¡°Stop!¡± With this roar, a young man dressed in white walked out from the forest, there was a tense color on his handsome face, it actually turned out to be Ling Han. ¡°Brother?¡± Long Yu saw Ling Han and it seemed like a big stone fell off his heart, making him feel lighter and better, fortunately Brother Ling Han was all right. Then, however, a shining sword suddenly sprang from the bushes and attacked Ling Han from behind. ¡°Why are you sticking your nose into someone else¡¯s fight?¡± Feng Yao¡¯s crisp and mocking voice came from the bushes. She immediately arrived on the scene while rising on ice-wind sludge, and her figure d in light green skirt shed and suddenly came in front of Ling Han then blocked his way. Now, she stood in front of Ling Han and her copper sword was covered in ice, inducing ice cold weather in the surrounding. ¡°The fight between us is not over yet, it would be better if you fully concentrate on it!¡± Feng Yao reminded Ling Han and attacked him with her sword, which was covered in ice like Swordqi. Ling Han realized that it was impossible to help Long Yu. He was immediately forced back by the Swordqi attack, retreating several steps away from Long Yu. ¡°Brother, you escape!¡± Ling Han hastily reminded loudly. ¡°Brother, you do not need to worry about me, constrain Feng Yao for me.¡± Long Yu said aloud. Chapter 40 – Comprehends charm (Part 2) Chapter 40 Comprehends charm (Part 2) ¡°Brother, you do not need to worry about me, constrain Feng Yao for me.¡± Long Yu said aloud. ¡°Do not worry, as long as I am here, she will absolutely not pass!¡± Ling Han said while Xuan qi surged out in his body and immediately congealed a rock wall shield. It was powerful enough to withstand the ice cold Swordqi attack of Feng Yao. Feng Yao¡¯s mouth slightly curled up: ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± At this moment, Ling Han was constraining her, while Long Yu was surrounded by Tan Jian, Hua Yu and Hua Qing, it seemed like Long Yu was going to die without a doubt. Feng Yao wanted Long Yu¡¯s death. Otherwise, he would continue to upy the heart of her father, Feng Longsong. Her father even betrothed her to him. She did not want to go against the wishes of her father, but did not want to marry Long Yu and the only way to get rid of him was just let him die! Now, she was blocking Ling Han and didn¡¯t let him support Long Yu, and besieged by these powerful masters of Wudao eighthyer, he would certainly die! At that time, Ling Han¡¯s heart was burning with impatience and was worried for Long Yu, but Feng Yao was blocking him, and he was unable to shake her off to go help Long Yu. The only thing he could right now was to firmly constrain Feng Yao as Long Yu said a moment ago. They contained each other and no one was able to intervene in the fight, and at the side of the pool, fighting almost began simultaneously. Hua Yun was first to initiate. She cast Picking flowers falling leaves martial skill then transformed into falling leaves and instantly arrived at the side of Long Yu, tightly clenched her fist and shot it towards him. ¡°Landslide fist!¡± Perfection level ofndslide fist actually contained an extremely formidable might! Long Yu didn¡¯t dare to meet these attacks and instantly stimted the Blizzard boots and disyed the peak level of flickering the wind step and moved to one side, but Hua Yun¡¯s speed was faster than his! The speed of the martial skill of picking flowers and falling leaves of was really so quick that even Long Yu couldn¡¯t move aside to dodge it. A fist rumbled loudly on Long Yu¡¯s shoulder and its terrifying destructive power sent vibrations inside his body. ¡°Demon vajra cover!¡± Ayer of faint golden color light instantly appeared on the whole body of Long Yu but could barely resist the 50% of the strength of the fist, and remaining half strength directly prated into his body. The important functions of Demon tyrant form finally appeared. The vibrations from strength present in that fist attack only made it to his blood vessels, the five internal organs only suffered slight concussions from the vibrations, because the majority of the shock had been neutralized by the defensive effects of Demon tyrant form. Even Perfection level ofndslide fist failed to cause harm to Long Yu! But, almost immediately Hua Qing took out his sword then covered with ice Swordqi, and immediately chopped his sword traverse towards Long Yu¡¯s neck from the back side. Ice cold Swordqi approached Long Yu making his entire body feel ice cold chill and causing his speed to be half a beat slower than usual. Buzz! Long Yu lowered his head as he saw Hua Qing¡¯s swording towards his neck and the sword simply went on cutting off his few hair which instantly froze and turned silver. ¡°Detaining soul hand!¡± Tan Jian clenched his fist, and a ck mist instantly condensed on it, and he immediately swept it towards Long Yu. Long Yu lost control over the centre of gravity of his body and was unable to escape, he could only disy the peak level of ¡®flickering wind step¡¯ and left an afterimage at the same ce, and dodged the move of Tan Jian, and in a blink of an eye he arrived behind him. ¡°Eat my fist!¡± Taking advantage of Tan Jian still engaged in casting detaining soul hand, Long Yu instantly activated ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ and pounded a heavy punch on his back! Although, Tan Jian¡¯s body defense armor had been disrupted earlier, but its defense capability was still unusual and the heavy punch of Long Yu didn¡¯t even make Tan Jian to budge! ¡°You really are a turtle!¡± Long Yu cursed loudly. But, at that time, Hua Qing attacked Long Yu with his sword covered with ice cold Swordqi, and Hua Yun¡¯s picking flowers and falling leaves attack also rushed towards him. ¡°Zhentian mysterious mood, activate!¡± Long Yu immediatelyprehended Zhentian mysterious mood, and instantly released it, it immediately enveloped the surrounding area extending up to the radius of 100 feet. The suppression of the mysterious mood slowed down the actions of Tan Jian, Hua Yun and Hua Qing. A color of astonishment appeared on their respective faces. This kid had alreadyprehended the mysterious mood of Zhentian tactics, so he was actually very talented! However, he was facing three strong masters of Wudao eighthyer, so what if he hadprehended the mysterious mood? The Zhentian mysterious mood repression could only weaken their strength and speed by less than 30 %, but theirbined strength would still be more than Long Yu, not to mention their coordinated attacks would be hard to deal with. ¡°Demon vajra cover!¡± Instantly Xuan qi congealed on the body of Long Yu and ayer of golden light appeared on his body again and he easily withstood the attacks of Hua Yun and Hua Qing. Then, Tan Jian turned around and stomped his feet, and rock shield wall again turned into a hundreds of soil fists and rushed towards Long Yu. ¡°Xuan qi consumption is too much, I am unable to cast Demon vajra cover once again¡­¡­¡± Long Yu thought to himself and was calm in the face of hundreds of soil fists attack from Tan Jian. He immediately disyed the flickering the wind step, and his body became light like breeze, but the hundreds of soil fists had alsoe very close behind him at a tremendous speed and were following closely. ¡°However, sometimes, it is really easy to have a breakthrough during the fight.¡± Long Yu, at that time, finally felt that his heavenly arteries had a much more deep contact with this world, he had realized only a trace of the Zhentian mysterious mood earlier, but finally a qualitative change had taken ce in the level of hisprehension of the mysterious mood and he hadprehended the charm! Practicing Zhentian tactics was based on the world principle of suppression, but only afterprehension, one could borrow its strength. At this moment, Long Yu finallyprehended the suppression charm and didn¡¯t hesitate to release it. Instantaneously, the heavy repression of the Zhentian charmpletely enveloped all the three powerful masters of Wudao eighthyer and greatly hindered their movements. Whether it was the strength or speed, it had been cut in half because of the wonderful effect of the heavy repression of the charm. ¡°Charm is a level above mood. With this, I will have the ultimate sess in the battle field, because in this field, I will be the master!¡± Long Yu¡¯s eyes shed brightly: ¡°But against these three wounded masters of Wudao eighthyer, justprehending charm is more than enough!¡± On ount of the heavy suppression of the Zhentian charm, the speed of the hundreds of soil fists of Tan Jian sharply declined all of a sudden and Long Yu easily escaped his attack! The movements of Hua Yun and Hua Qing were also considerably slowed down and now they couldn¡¯t keep up with Long Yu¡¯s speed. Long Yu now had a thorough grasp over the fight! Chapter 41 – Beheaded three stronger (Part 1) Chapter ¨C 41 Beheaded three stronger (Part 1) When the suppression of the Zhentian charm began, in the field, it seemed as if Long Yu was right in the center of the stage! Taking advantage of the slowing down of the speed of Hua Qing, Long Yu quickly stimted his snow boots and simultaneously disying flickering wind step and quickly circled behind Hua Qing at an extremely fast speed. ¡°Die!¡± Long Yu shouted and wore wandering soul glove, a ck mist suddenly condensed on it. ¡°Dodge!¡± Hua Qing felt the imposing aura of the punching from behind. He wanted to dodge this fist attack, but under the heavy suppression of the Zhentian charm, his speed had be extremely slow, so he couldn¡¯t do so. The next moment, Long Yu heavily punched his fist containing the strength of 10,000 Jin on the spine of Hua Qing from behind, and he was shot to fly in the air with a bang! Hua Qing¡¯s sword covered with snow and ice soon fell on the ground with a ¡°dang¡±. Since there was no longer the supply of Xuan qi from Hua Qing, the snow and ice present on the sword soon dissipated, leaving only a silver sword on the ground. ¡°Nice sword.¡± Long Yu picked up the sword. A faint smile was on his face. The sword, no doubt, eased the pressure on him. If he didn¡¯t have such a sharp sword, he really didn¡¯t know how to deal with the turtle hard defense armor of Tan Jian. ¡°Picking flowers flying leaves.¡± When Hua Yun saw his brother shot to fly in the air, she instantly disyed her picking flowers flying leaves attack, and immediately, thousands of flowers and leaf des came rushing towards Long Yu. But, because of being under the heavy pressure of Zhentian charm, even the speed of picking flowers flying leaves became very slow. Long Yu got enough time to wield the sword in a carefree manner, and in a sh, he chopped down all sharp flowers and leaf desing at him, then he cast out flickering wind step, his body became light as breeze and he quickly headed towards Hua Yun to kill her. Puff! He skillfully stabbed the sword towards Hua Yun, piercing her throat with great uracy. She stared in disbelief: ¡°How ¡­¡­could¡­..you¡­, you obviously¡­ only seventh¡­¡­..¡± ¡°I have already said that I will not be the one to die.¡± Long Yu faintly said then pulled out the sword from her neck. Hua Yun¡¯s thin and tender body quickly fell on the ground, her heartbeat and breathing soon stopped. ¡°Little Yun!¡± After being sent flying by Long Yu¡¯s fist bang, Hua Qing was seriously injured. He felt severe pain. His eyes were blood-red and glittering with hatred and while stubbornly staring at Long Yu, he shouted loudly: ¡°I will kill you!!¡± ¡°Unfortunately, you will not get the opportunity.¡± Long Yu said in a calm voice, his stature shed, his body became light like breeze, and instantly, he arrived behind Hua Qing and shed the sword at him! Puff! Hua Qing couldn¡¯t even disy his defense type martial skill at that time, the sword pierced through his abdomen and the Xuan qi attached on the sword shattered his Dantian. Hua Qing instantly fell on the ground with his face up, in a sh, now Tan Jian was the only one left in the field. Afterprehending Zhentian charm, in a sh, he killed stronger enemies! Long Yu looked at Tan Jian and saw that there was horror stricken look in his eyes. Long Yu, the former waste, but now had be so terrible, evenprehended the secondyer of the mysterious mood, such a terrifying talent. Tan Jian simply could not imagine and ept such a thing. ¡°Long Yu, please stop your hand, we are all from Zhentian Sect, there is no need to put our lives on the line and fight to the bitter end!¡± Tan Jian stamped his feet on the ground, the rock shield wall reappeared, and he calmly looked at Long Yu. ¡°Now you actually call me by my name, unlike before, wasn¡¯t I supposed to be a ¡®waste¡¯?¡± Long Yu contemptuously smiled while there was a killing intention on his face, however Tan Jian had discarded his immense arrogance and wanted to reconcile with Long Yu. But, how could Long Yu possiblyply? If Long Yu did not make use of this opportunity to get rid of this turtle, then next time, he might prove to be even more troublesome! Long Yu would never allow him to live and be a future trouble. ¡°You must die.¡± Long Yu pointed his sword at Tan Jian, and at that time, there was an indifferent look in his eyes. Tan Jian¡¯s heart thumped, he looked into the indifferent eyes of Long Yu, and his heart gave birth to a bad premonition. Not far from there, Feng Yao and Ling Han were witnessing the situation with their own eyes. ¡°How is this possible? This waste ¡­¡­¡± Feng Yao clenched her teeth because she could never imagine that not just Long Yu could resist the encirclement of three strong masters of Wudao eightyer, but he instantly killed two of them and cornered the third one! Now, even the extremely arrogant Tan Jian waspelled to put down his stance and act politely! Earlier during the fight, these three masters of Wudao eightyer must have mutually injured each other and that too quite severely, they must have fought heavily with each other severely damaging each other¡¯s strength, otherwise, it should have been impossible for Long Yu, even after stepping into the Wudao seventhyer, toe out victorious against the three strong masters of Wudao eighthyer. ¡°Not good, if I do not take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of this guy, I am afraid there won¡¯t be small trouble in the future!¡± Feng Yao¡¯s eyes shed fiercely, she stepped forward, but right then, Ling Han moved quickly and caught her up. ¡°Ha ha, junior sister apprentice Feng Yao, your opponent is me!¡± Ling Han jumped in front of Feng Yao and immediately shot a punch at her and stopped her advance! Ling Han never expected that Long Yu would be so overwhelming powerful, might be that it was due to effect of the top-grade ancient ginseng. He thought that it was definitely the right choice to give the top-grade ancient ginseng to Long Yu. Right now, although Long Yu was only at Wudao seventhyer, but actually killed two strong masters of Wudao eightyer! ¡°Who is your junior sister apprentice?¡± Feng Yao was stopped by Ling Han. Suddenly, she felt a spontaneous surge of powerlessness, although she was not weak, but while facing Ling Han, she really had no way to approach Long Yu! These two had quite simr strength, it was not going to be easy for one of them toe out as a winner, so as a result, none of them could escape each other¡¯s constraints and was totally entangled. Initially, Feng Yao wanted to prevent Ling Han from helping Long Yu, but now, Ling Han stopped her from moving forward to kill Long Yu. Now these two people couldn¡¯t influence the battle between Long Yu and Tan Jian. Long Yu gradually moved towards Tan Jian. Tan Jian condensed the Xuan qi to make rock shield wall, but felt that the consumption of Xuan qi had depleted to an rming extent in his body and he wouldn¡¯t be able to hold it much longer. Chapter 41 – Beheaded three stronger (Part 2) Chapter ¨C 41 Beheaded three stronger (Part 2) He snatched the top-grade ancient ginseng, and while fighting, he made effort to kill Hua Yun and Hua Qing, and midway in the fight, he also risked to swallow the top-grade ancient ginseng which was the reason why he had yet not fully absorbed the lingqi from it. Hence, he couldn¡¯t take rest after swallowing the top-grade ancient ginseng and now he stood at dead end, producing a surge of hatred in his heart! Tan Jian looked at Long Yu gradually walking towards him, his mind was racing fast, now he couldn¡¯t fight Long Yu or escape from him, his life was on the line so even if he had to give up his dignity for the time being, he decided to put it aside. ¡°Long Yu, before my sister Tan Yue disrespected you, it was her mistake, after going back, I will strictly teach her discipline!¡± Tan Jian said in a loud tone: ¡°We belong to the same Sect, please listen to me, put down the sword in your hand, how about we patch up?¡± While saying these words, Tan Jian¡¯s heart was extremely unwilling, however, now that his Xuan qi had depleted, he could only endure patiently! The meaning inherent in the sentence was clear, Tan Jian was unexpectedly begging to for mercy in front of Long Yu! To the side, this scene was absolutely unexpected for Ling Han, the strongest inner disciple of Zhentian sect was actually cornered to such an extent that he was begging for mercy from Long Yu! However, Ling Han was worried, facing the submissive demeanor of Tan Jian who was begging for mercy, would Long Yu actually let him off? Ling Han didn¡¯t say anything and actually wanted to see that what kind a person Long Yu exactly was! ¡°You want me to put the sword, fine, but on one condition.¡± Long Yu lightly smiled and said on a whim. ¡°What condition?¡± Tan Jian subconsciously asked aloud. ¡°It¡¯s very simple ¡­¡­¡± Long Yu said these words and with the sword in his hand, and his body light like the breeze, he took one twinkling step and instantly arrived behind Tan Jian. Xuan qi immediately condensed on the sword, and in a sh, Long Yu¡¯s sword pierced Tan Jian¡¯s body which damaged his defense armor! Tan Jian¡¯s attention was fully focused on Long Yu, wanting to hear the condition, how could he even imagine that Long Yu would actually attack all of a sudden? The next moment, the sword covered with Xuan qi, easily pierced Tan Jian¡¯s chest! ¡°You¡­¡­¡± Tan Jian wanted to say something, but he could only stare, and couldn¡¯t speak a word. Then Long Yu gave a heavy kick to Tan Jian and he directly fell on the ground, making a cloud of dust to fly upwards. This nasty turtle finally died in the hands of Long Yu. ¡°Even when you were begging for mercy, your eyes reflected unwillingness and hatred, you seriously thought that I would be stupid enough to leave you alive to give myself future trouble?¡± Long Yu said in a calm voice then drew out the sword from Tan Jian¡¯s body. That light and long silver sword was a low-grade battle weapon, but Long Yu hadn¡¯t practiced fencing, so he couldn¡¯t disy sword skills with it, he only used its sharpness to kill Tan Jian. He looked up and saw Ling Han running towards him with a happy expression on his face. As for Feng Yao, after Tan Jian was killed by Long Yu, she well knew that depending on her current strength, she alone was definitely not the opponent of Long Yu and Ling Han, so she disyed the agility type martial skill and decisively retreated fast and left the ce. ¡°Brother, you leveled up!¡± Ling Hanughed and stepped forward. ¡°Thanks to the brother once again.¡± Long Yu said. If Ling Han had not stopped pursuers in time, he couldn¡¯t have so smoothly entered into the Wudao seventhyer. ¡°Never imagined that body refining type martial skill could be so strong, it seems like I must considering learning one myself.¡± Ling Han said with a smile and lightly patted on Long Yu¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Different martial skills have different functions.¡± Long Yu shook his head and said: ¡°In fact just now, if there was strength left in Tan Jian to fight with me, probably, it would have been me who was finally defeated because the body refining type martial skill consumes too much of Xuan qi from my body.¡± Demon vajra cover, although was a strong defense type martial skill, but the consumption of Xuan qi was far greater than other martial skills. To be honest, it could not bepared with defense type martial skills like Imperial rock, but Demon vajra cover could be bent down to cover the whole body, so it gave a better defense against martial skills like picking flowers falling leaves. ¡°Right, brother, Feng Yao escaped after telling me to ry her message to you.¡± Ling Han put away the joyful demeanor and said in a serious tone: ¡°Hua Yun and Hua Qing of Hanbing Sect has an elder brother named Hua Buxie, now you have killed Hua Yun and Hua Qing, be prepared to face Hua Buxie who wille for you to avenge his siblings!¡± ¡°Hua Buxie? What is his cultivation?¡± Long Yu was surprised for a moment. ¡°It¡¯s not clear, but Hua Buxie seems to be the strongest core disciple of Hanbing Sect!¡± Ling Han said solemnly. The strongest core disciple! Long Yu could not help but think of the mysterious youth from Zhentian Sect, Bu Xing, he was also the strongest core disciple of Zhentian Sect. As he thought so, Long Yu suddenly felt enormous pressure on him. At present, if he faced Feng Yao, he could easily deal with her, but if he faced Bu Xing, no matter how many battle strategies he formted in his mind, none could possibly ensure his victory. The cultivation of the opposite party had already reached an immeasurably profound level, to the point that he was able to suppress even thew enforcement Elder. ¡°Feng Yao can simply kill me by informing Hua Buxie that I killed Hua Yun and Hua Qing!¡± Long Yu secretly cursed in his heart! ¡°Brother, you don¡¯t need to worry too much. Hua Buxie cannot be too rampant and it should be impossible for him toe to our sect to kill our people.¡± Ling Han looked at Long Yu¡¯splexion and thought that he was frightened and said just tofort him: ¡°With your talent, as long as you keep on practicing in the sect, surmounting the power of that Hua Buxie should be no problem.¡± Long Yu heard it, and at that time, he actually didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry, this brother was really¡­¡­. However, the consoling words of Ling Han actually touched Long Yu¡¯s heart and he somewhat agreed as well. Depending on the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon mark¡¯, sooner orter, he would be able to surmount the power of Ling Han and he also believed that it won¡¯t take long for that day toe! ¡°Yes, I have just now heard something interesting, it is said that best quality ancient ginseng has actually appeared this year, now, the royal princess and her royal guards have entered the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest to obtain it.¡± Ling Han spoke thoughtlessly as if he was narrating a minor matter, for him, the appearance of the best quality ancient ginseng was like a natural phenomenon for him, and it was obvious that he had nothing to do with it. However, after listening this, a n actually appeared in Long Yu¡¯s mind! Chapter 42 – Boots resonance (Part 1) Chapter 42 Boots resonance (Part 1) The best quality ancient ginseng was two levels higher than the top-grade ancient ginseng! ¡°Nine hidden Dragon mark can even shield the exudation of Lingqi from the ancient ginseng, perhaps, I can try to grab the best quality ancient ginseng, but without being discovered by the members of the royal n.¡± There was a twinkling ray of light in the eyes of Long Yu, but the problem was that the people of the royal n were quite formidable, for example, that metal armored youth. It was very difficult to understand his cultivation level and was simply unfathomable. To seize food from the mouth of the royal n, it was only Long Yu who could be so daring, but the enticement of the best quality ancient ginseng was too big to resist. If Long Yu obtained the best quality ancient ginseng, then he could easily jump onto the Wudao eighthyer. ¡°Brother, what are you thinking?¡± Ling Han, who stood on his side, asked with curiosity. ¡°Oh, nothing.¡± Long Yu smiled and shook his head: ¡°Right, brother, you first take this long sword, it¡¯s such a pity that Tan Jian¡¯s battle weapon defense armor was damaged, otherwise it was actually a very good defense battle weapon.¡± He said while handing over the sword of Hua Qing to Ling Han. ¡°Brother, what are you doing?¡± Ling Han¡¯splexion slightly changed, and he refused to ept it: ¡°You have obtained it after a severe fighting, how can I take it? I think this sword suits you better!¡± ¡°Well.¡± Long Yu nodded. Now, he could finally determine, it was definitely worth to be friends with Ling Han. ording to Long Yu¡¯s character, he was extremely careful to make friends, and since it was hard to fight the temptation of a battle weapon, he finally knew that Ling Han wasn¡¯t the greedy type and didn¡¯t seek after all the possible ways of having small profits wherever possible, which also showed that he had a deep sense of loyalty and obligation! Not only Long Yu was testing Ling Han, just now, Ling Han was also testing Long Yu? When Tan Jian lowered his profile to beg for mercy, then Ling Han didn¡¯t say anything, and obviously hoped that Long Yu would kill him. If Long Yu could achieve it then Ling Han would obviously be very disappointed in him! But now, the knot of friendship between these two had obviously strengthened much more. ¡°Right, brother, where did that best quality ancient ginseng appear?¡± Long Yu pretended that he asked it inadvertently. ¡°You look towards the west.¡± Ling Han did not give much thought to it, he just thought that Long Yu asked it out of curiosity, and he pointed his finger towards the west direction: ¡°Do you see the hills there? It is said that the best quality ancient ginseng grows on that mountain peak, 1000 feet above the ground.¡± Above 1000 feet! Long Yu gave a look towards the west, and saw about a hundred miles away, there was a towering steep mountain, as straight as a sharp knife! ¡°Some people felt the presence of rich Lingqi under the hills then went back and informed the royal n.¡± Ling Han said with a smile: ¡°It is very difficult for amon man to surmount a height of 1000 feet, to obtain the best quality ancient ginseng.¡± 1000 feet was indeed very high, and it seemed that if anyone wanted to obtain the best quality ancient ginseng, then he would have to spend a lot of time and effort. The good news was that the royal n had not yet arrived. Long Yu¡¯s sharp mind was working fast. He could at least have a first look of that ce. Of course, he would not bring Ling Han with him, snatching the best quality ancient ginseng from the hands of the royal n was going to be dangerous mission, if this matter was exposed, it could lead to serious consequences! Whether it was for the sake of his own safety, or for the sake of Ling Han, Long Yu thought it was best for just him to try and obtain the best quality ancient ginseng. But now, separating from Ling Han was going to be quite difficult, in order to not make him suspicious, Long Yu didn¡¯t want to make any haste, he could only take things further one step at a time. ¡°Brother, let us look around everywhere and search for ancient ginsengs, since from the time we have entered the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, it seems you have no harvest.¡± Long Yu said. ¡°Where are these wordsing from? My harvest so far is not small, that ck lock battle weapon of Liu Mingxuan is very easy to use!¡± Ling Hanughed. ¡°But we are in the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest and it doesn¡¯t seem justified if you don¡¯t get an ancient ginseng. Brother, let¡¯s go and search for them.¡± Long Yu said then chose a direction and moved forward. Ling Han also moved to keep up with Long Yu. Long Yu deliberately selected the direction of the west, where the best quality ancient ginseng was. After some time, they suddenly smelled a slightly bloody breath and immediately became vignt. ¡°Brother, there is a corpse!¡± The corpse of a man, d in the blue dress of a disciple of Zhentian Sect, was hanging from a tree and his stomach was cut open. Seeing this scene, theirplexions suddenly changed. How could someone be so cruel? ¡°He has died not long ago.¡± Long Yu decided to find the clues, he swiftly and fiercely looked around, and then he quickly found the clues. ¡°Brother, you look after this brother¡¯s corpse, I will catch the culprit!¡± As Long Yu finished these words, suddenly, he moved fast towards a direction to chase the murderer, without giving any time to Ling Han to express his idea on this decision. Ling Han saw the decisive action of Long Yu to pursue the murderer. He actually wanted to kill the murderer with his own hands, the corpse of the disciple of the same sect was hanging from the tree in front of him, he really didn¡¯t feel good about it. Long Yu rushed out several miles, and now, he was confident that Ling Han couldn¡¯t catch him up, and was secretly relieved. However, his attention was fully focused on that person, whom he was chasing. ¡°It seems this person is a disciple of Qiansi Sect, after killing a disciple of Zhentian Sect, he robbed an ancient ginseng from him, and tried to absorb its Lingqi nearby, what a pity, he was discovered by me!¡± The cold light shed in Long Yu¡¯s eyes: ¡°Maybe I should make use of this guy to obtain the best quality ancient ginseng!¡± However, the speed of the disciple of Qiansi Sect was actually in no way inferior to Long Yu! Even if Long Yu disyed flickering wind step, and simultaneously elerated his snow boots, but he was only able to hear the fleeing sound of the opposite party in the forest, and throughout this chase, he wasn¡¯t be able to see the appearance of the opposite party! Chapter 42 – Boots resonance (Part 2) Chapter 42 Boots resonance (Part 2) ¡°Blizzard boots, a battle weapon, the actual eleration effect should definitely be more than this.¡± Long Yu¡¯s eyes shed brightly: ¡°ording to what old white once said, martial cultivators and battle weapon could connect with each other, and after interacting with the battle weapon, the effect definitely gets stronger!¡± After thinking of this, he once again centralized all of his thoughts on the blizzard boots, and began the cirction of Xuan qi upon it, which slightly increased his speed. This was not the first time Long Yu had done so, and each time he would feel his consciousness to get a bit closer to the blizzard boots, but he still couldn¡¯t fully interact with it. At this moment, while facing an enemy he couldn¡¯t overtake, the potential of Long Yu was suddenly aroused. Nine hidden Dragon Mark quietly released several mysterious ck traces of light, and in the next moment, they wound up around the blizzard boots, and mysterious cold waves began to surge out of it. Thump! Thump! Thump! As if the sound of palpitation began toe out of the blizzard boots, as if it had a heartbeat, and suddenly, Long Yu¡¯s heartbeat actually superposed together with its heartbeat. ¡°This is conjunction!¡± Long Yu immediately opened his eyes, he felt a strong mystical forceing out of the blizzard boots, and suddenly, his speed increased tremendously! Along with the trembling of blizzard boots, Long Yu began to move in the forest like a streamer, leaving behind several afterimages, and that disciple of Qiansi Sect, who had been fleeing from him all this time, finally came into his sight. He was dressed in a green dress, with prominent cheekbones and skinny face, deep eyes, and was a master of Wudao seventhyer! ¡°Inner disciples of Qiansi Sect who entered the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest were at most at the Wudao seventhyer, so this guy should be thest disciple of Qiansi Sect, who is at the Wudao seventhyer!¡± Long Yu thought to himself, Xuan qi was constantly stimting the blizzard boots to maintain a constant high speed! The next moment, a burst of snow and ice came from the blizzard boots and rushed turbulently towards the disciple of Qiansi Sect! Upon seeing that, he loudly cursed his bad luck. At that time, he actually wanted to manipte his shadow to impede the pursuit of Long Yu, but suddenly, a burst of awe-inspiring ice came out from the blizzard boots, sprang towards him and instantly enveloped his entire body. His speed, all of a sudden, was swiftly reduced down due to the encircling of his body by the swift ice waves! ¡°Resonance, is the first level of interacting with the battle weapon, and this resonance of the Blizzard boots has not only almost doubled my speed, but also released the waves of ice, which hindered the movements of the enemy!¡± Long Yu¡¯s heart was surprised, and in the next moment, his body, which was light like the breeze, took a twinkling step and finally caught up with the enemy! ¡°Zhentian charm, suppression!¡± Long Yu saw the enemy, he tried to resist in the beginning, but suddenly, the Zhentian charm released out andpletely suppressed him, even the flow of Xuan qi in his body was slowed down by 70-80%. Now, it was easy for Long Yu to deal with an opponent of Wudao seventhyer. Facing the Zhentian charming from the other side, the enemy had no choice left but to surrender, he was in no capacity to resist. For Long Yu, this was the feeling of absolute control over the opponent! It was hard to imagine how the might of Zhentian charm would be enhanced when Long Yu would get further insight into the worldws. Long Yu raised his hand, the effects of the Zhentian charm increase once again and that disciple of Qiansi Sect almost lost the ability to resist, his skinny face was filled with the color of shock and panic. Long Yu was also at the Wudao seventhyer then how could he be so formidable? The Qiansi disciple couldn¡¯t figure out how this happened! ¡°Take it easy, I will not kill you, I just want to make a deal with you.¡± Long Yu faintly smiled and said. ¡°A deal?¡± The man¡¯s voice sounded hoarse, he asked this with some doubts. ¡°I want you to help me get something then I can consider sparing your life, so what do you say, this deal is fair, right?¡± Long Yu said. ¡°Get what?¡± The Qiansi disciple subconsciously asked. ¡°Best quality ancient ginseng!¡± Long Yu said. Theplexion of that person suddenly changed: ¡°Do you make to snatch that thing from the royal n? It¡¯s impossible!¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong, don¡¯t you want?¡± Long Yu lightly said: ¡°Then I would have to kill you and go find someone else for the job.¡± Theplexion of that person sank, he was constantly feeling the heavy pressure of Zhentian charm upon himself, and he also knew well that he was not the match of Long Yu, so after a bit of thinking, in the next moment, he nodded his head once and agreed on this deal. ¡°I can try.¡± He said. ¡°Well, then let¡¯s go.¡± Long Yu grabbed the man, and quickly disyed the flickering the wind step, and with his body light like the breeze, he moved towards the west direction and crossed dozens of miles. Unfortunately, the resonance with his snow boots eventually stopped. ¡°This resonance with my battle weapon is only temporary, achieved with the help of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯. I really want to resonate with my blizzard boots as and when I wish for, it seems that it will take some time to achieve that¡­.¡± Long Yu thought in his heart, while circting the Xuan qi in the blizzard boots to maintain the speed and rush towards the destination. The enhancement and coordination with the blizzard boots was necessary and he would make every effort to soon establish a true conjunction with it. Undoubtedly, speed was very important for a martial cultivator! But, conjunction with the battle weapon never happened overnight and even Long Yu could only achieve it gradually in an orderly manner. They quickly crossed the distance of over 100 miles, and finally, tall towering peaks appeared not far away from them. Even when they were several miles away, they could still feel the rich Lingqi, transmitting from the best quality ancient ginseng, making them unable to stop from getting intoxicated. ¡°Best quality ancient ginseng is really extraordinary!¡± Long Yu was convinced in his heart, closer to the destination, the calmer were his thoughts. Trying to snatch something from the hands of the royal n was not an easy matter! Separated by several miles, Long Yu was hiding in the bush, holding his sword against the neck of that disciple of Qiansi Sect, putting him under his firm control. Then, he climbed to the top of a tall old tree and looked towards the bottom of the mountain peak. Chapter 43 – Best quality ancient ginseng (Part 1) Chapter 43 Best quality ancient ginseng (Part 1) Under the straight steep mountain peak, two men wearing shining armor with good cultivation were sitting on the ground and apparently guarding the best quality ancient ginseng. As for the other members of the royal n, whether the royal princess or that metal armored youth, who had certain physical resemnce with Long Yu, had yet note and must be on the way here. ¡°The best quality ancient ginseng contains greatly strengthened rich Lingqi, once picked, it will start exuding the Lingqi, thus the best time of consuming it should be right after it¡¯s plucked.¡± Long Yu thought to himself. He guessed, probably the members of the royal n were waiting for other people toe and find the best quality ancient ginseng in the mountain and then take it directly from them. That would give Long Yu an excellent opportunity to start. ¡°You can feel the position of the best quality ancient ginseng, right?¡± Long Yu lowered his head and asked fiercely. ¡°I can, I guess.¡± The disciple of Qiansi Sect nodded reluctantly: ¡°That ce is too high, and now, even if I control my shadow, I will be unable to pick the best quality ancient ginseng.¡± ¡°How do you want to do it?¡± Long Yu squinted and asked. ¡°Let me absorb the Lingqi from this ancient ginseng and if I can step into the Wudao eighthyer then it should be easy to pick the best quality ancient ginseng.¡± That disciple of Qiansi Sect said in a low voice and his haggard eyes were moving astutely. ¡°Is it?¡± Long Yu said loudly: ¡°Since you are so useless, then go to hell!¡± Voice down, Long Yu took the sword in his hand and immediately put it on the skinny neck of that Qiansi disciple and it immediately left a trail of blood on it! Seeing this that disciple of Qiansi Sect was shocked and quickly said: ¡°No wait! Let me try first.¡± ¡°You do not y any tricks, if I sense something off then I¡¯ll kill you.¡± Long Yu said with an indifferent look in his eyes, although the sword in his hand didn¡¯t make any movement. But it was still kept horizontally on the neck of that man. That disciple of Qiansi Sect finally knew that Long Yu was not a fool opponent to be deceived so easily, so he would better first try to obtain the best quality ancient ginseng for his own safety. ¡°I must remind you first, the strength of the members of the royal n is extraordinary, even if you obtained the best quality ancient ginseng, it is impossible to have an opportunity to absorb its Lingqi!¡± The disciple of Qiansi Sect reminded him. ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about it, now hurry up!¡± Long Yu said indifferently. That man didn¡¯t dare to be negligent and hastily manipted his shadow and moved towards the steep face along the shadow of the ancient trees in the forest. Long Yu put his long sword horizontally on the skinny neck of that man so that he couldn¡¯t actually act unreasonably, and carefully observed the scene, and discovered that now in the evening and the setting sun illuminated the steep cliff on this side and waspletely in the shadows. This gave him the vanguard shadow that brought great convenience to their n! Hidden in the shadow of the setting sun, he manipted the shadow and moved forward at a tremendous speed, his shadow quickly climbed up 50 feet high along the steep hillside. ¡°Not good, it¡¯s too far, I cannot reach it.¡± The disciple of Qiansi Sect said in a sinking voice. At the moment, his shadow controlling force had weakened to a certain extent, and now he was unable to control his shadow to move upward! The disciple of Qiansi Sect could control his shadow, but there was certainly the distance limit. Moreover, the farther the distance, the shadow controlling force would be weaker. So now the motion of the shadow had be slow or sluggish ¡°Approach slowly and do not even think about y tricks, unless you want to die.¡± Long Yu said in a cold voice. He had literally kidnapped that disciple of Qiansi Sect and both of them were moving slowly towards the cliff. Along with their slow movement, the shadow was getting more and more near the best quality ancient ginseng, and under the setting sun, the shadow of the cliff helped in hiding them from the two men in shining armors, who were protecting the best quality ancient ginseng and were not aware of the situation. Long Yu along with that disciple of Qiansi Sect bypassed the two shining armor guards and finally approached the face of the mountain. They arrived in a grove under the steep face of mountain. ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± The disciple of Qiansi Sect was somewhat excited: ¡°Can I take it?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Long Yu nodded. ¡°You must first remove your mysterious charm, otherwise my shadow can¡¯t disy enough power for the job.¡± The disciple of Qiansi Sect said. ¡°You better know that I can instantly invoke this mysterious charm, so you better not try to pull something off.¡± Long Yu said in a cold voice then pulled out the mysterious charm! The disciple of Qiansi Sect obviously felt relieved due to the removal of the mysterious charm. Then within his body, the Xuan qi began to circte rapidly, and suddenly, on the steep face of the mountain, the sound of some crushed stones falling spread! ¡°Who¡¯s there!¡± ¡°Some people!¡± Two shining armor guards immediately found an abnormality on the steep hillside, and for the first time, they raised their heads and looked toward the steep hillside. They looked up and saw a ck shadow, holding the best quality ancient ginseng in its hand. It was exuding rich Lingqi while the shadow was fleeing towards the distant ce along the cliff! ¡°A disciple of Qiansi Sect, you are courting death!¡± A shining armor guard shouted and rushed forward, then he moved sideways on the steep hillside, and went along the cliff, step by step up the mountain. His fist sted, the golden Xuan qi rumbled loudly, a burst of trembling fluctuations made a big hole in the cliff face, crushing the stones, which were sted away and some heavy stones came billowing down the mountain. However, the speed of the shadow of that disciple of Qiansi Sect was very fast, even the shining armor guard, who was at Wudao ninthyer, couldn¡¯t overtake. Just at that moment, the shadow quickly moved on a steep hillside with the best quality ancient ginseng and suddenly hid itself inside the dense grove under the cliff. ¡°The Lingqi of the best quality ancient ginseng is very rich and strong, but you want to rob it under our eyes by hiding, this is simply a wishful thinking.¡± A shining armor guard sneered and said: ¡°Chase!¡± ¡°Anyone who dares to touch our royal n¡¯s things must die without a doubt.¡± Another shining armor weapons repair faintly said. He didn¡¯t feel any movement in the forest, his entire shining armored form appeared about 100 feet away at a lightning fast speed but he still could not sense anything! Chapter 43 – Best quality ancient ginseng (Part 2) Chapter 43 Best quality ancient ginseng (Part 2) If they didn¡¯t find it sooner and the Lingqi was drained a lot before they finally took hold of it then they would certainly be punished. In such case, it was almost impossible to let off the person who dared to steal the best quality ancient ginseng, even if this thief was Qiansi sect¡¯s sovereign¡¯s daughter. They came into action and moved fast towards the direction from where the rich Lingqi of the best quality of ginseng wasing, but suddenly their faces changed As they reached halfway while chasing the culprit, suddenly the exudation of the Lingqi from the best quality ancient ginseng disappeared. Theirplexions paled gradually. The exudation of rich Lingqi from the best quality ancient ginseng didn¡¯t only gradually be weaker, but unexpectedly disappearedpletely, even the slightest of its Lingqi couldn¡¯t be sensed. ¡°It was eaten?¡± But they were not convinced about it, because even in the case of it being swallowed by a person, the rich Lingqi would definitely not vanishpletely all of a sudden like this! So, the two guards rushed towards the direction from where the exudation of the rich Lingqi had suddenly disappeared. In a while, a corpse of the disciple of Qiansi Sect appeared before them lying on the ground, but they didn¡¯t see the trace of the best quality ancient ginseng. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± They looked at each other¡¯s faces with confused expressions on their faces. The disciple of Qiansi Sect robbed the best quality ancient ginseng, and now he was lying dead on the ground before them, and the best quality ancient ginseng was nowhere to be seen, the two were really perplexed. ¡°Quickly, look everywhere!¡± Actually, they were not willing to give up their efforts to get back the best quality ancient ginseng, they immediately went into action, but this time, they did it separately. However, they couldn¡¯t feel the rich Lingqi of the best quality ancient ginseng so how could they possible look for it? After they left, not far away from the corpse of the disciple of Qiansi Sect, a figure shed through the grove and instantaneously vanished in the bushes. This figure was Long Yu. The best quality ancient ginseng was obtained by that disciple of Qiansi Sect but then he tried to y tricks on Long Yu by using his martial skill. Long Yu brought him directly under heavy suppression of the mysterious charm and with just one punch, his heart was crushed. Then, Long Yu immediately activated ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ which instantaneously and fully covered up the rich Lingqi of the best quality ancient ginseng. At that time, two shining armor guards were not far from him, and if Long Yu had tried to escape from there, at that time, he could have been discovered by the sound, so he quickly hid himself in the nearby bushes. As the two shining armored guards couldn¡¯t feel the rich Lingqi of the best quality ancient ginseng, they began to search for it in other ces separately. Long Yu seized this opportunity and sneaked off. In a while, with cloudy looks on their faces, the two guards returned to the same ce from different directions. ¡°Did you find it?¡± One of them asked. ¡°No.¡± Another man shook his head: ¡°To be able to instantly make the rich Lingqi of the best quality ancient ginseng disappear like this, I think the only possibility is that it was been stored into a rare space treasure.¡± ¡°Space rare treasure.¡± The man¡¯splexion became quite unsightly: ¡°A person who has a space rare treasure is considered a great personality even in the Imperial City. I never thought one would actually appear here ¡­¡­¡± They had no choice but to wait at that ce and not long after, the young royal princess and her guards finally arrived. After hearing what happened, the metal armored youth¡¯splexion suddenly changed: ¡°Space rare treasure?¡± A space rare treasure of this level was definitely not a simple matter! However, a person who possessed space rare treasure would be considered extremely rich in the Imperial city. A best quality ancient ginseng was still not a good enough prize that one would put himself in the danger of offending the royal n in order to get hold of it. ¡°Block all exits. When the disciples of Zhentian sect, Hanbing sect, and Qiansi sect are leaving, question them strictly and catch any suspicious person.¡± The metal armored youth gave the order directly, there was a dark look on his face! The best quality ancient ginseng, which belonged to the royal n, now had been robbed by someone, so no matter whom the culprit was, he must pay the price for it! ¡­¡­ On another side. When Long Yu got the best quality ancient ginseng, he immediately looked for a safe ce to prepare himself to absorb the rich Lingqi from the best quality ancient ginseng, otherwise, if any dy was made in its absorption, then most of its rich Lingqi would drain unnecessary. However, he didn¡¯t n to absorb the rich Lingqi of the best quality ancient ginsengpletely rather he decided to store up its Lingqi in ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ temporarily. ¡°If I absorb the Lingqi of the best quality ancient ginsengpletely, then surely I can attempt to reach the Wudao eighthyer, but so quick level promotion may easily lead to suspicion, so I should wait for now.¡± After Long Yu made up his mind, he began to absorb the best quality ancient ginseng. The rich Lingqi contained in the best quality ancient ginseng was ten times more inparison to the Lingqi present in a top-grade ancient ginseng that he had absorbed some time ago. Certainly, Long Yu wanted to promote himself from Wudao seventhyer to Wudao eighthyer, and the Lingqi required to do so was also ten times more than that contained in a top-grade ancient ginseng. If not for this chance coincidence, Long Yu would not have been able to step into the Wudao eighthyer so early. ¡°Best quality ancient ginseng, absorption!¡± Long Yu swallowed the best quality ancient ginseng and started to absorb its Lingqi. He simultaneously activated the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ to store up the majority of its rich Lingqi. When Long Yu absorbed 10 % of the rich Lingqi of the best ancient ginseng, the Xuan qi began to revolve in his body meridians leading to an increase from his basic strength to 72,000 Jin, which was the ultimate boundary of the Wudao seventhyer. ¡°That¡¯s enough for now.¡± Long Yu stopped absorbing, opened his eyes and stood up! At this moment, his strength was much stronger than before. Moreover, the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ also stored up the remaining 90 % of the rich Lingqi. After leaving the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, he could start to absorb the remaining Lingqi of the best ancient ginseng stored up in ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ to attempt and step into the Wudao eighthyer. He was really happy and eager to see the new transformation of the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯. Chapter 44 – mystery of life experience (Part 1) Chapter 44 mystery of life experience (Part 1) Long Yupleted the process of the absorption of best quality ancient ginseng then he jumped down from the tree and looked for a deep pool. He casually threw the long sword low-grade battle weapon in his hand into the pool. Afterward, he moved towards the ce where he had separated from Ling Han. ¡°That long sword low-grade battle weapon is actually stained with the blood from the neck of Qiansi sect¡¯s disciple, keeping it means inviting suspicion of the people, it is better to throw it away.¡± Long Yu was not all bothered by discarding a battle weapon. It was better to discard that low-grade battle weapon inparison to losing his life at the hands of the members of royal n, not to mention it was just a low-grade battle weapon, if it had been a top-grade battle weapon, Long Yu would not have discarded it without hesitation. Soon, Long Yu finally returned to the ce where he separated from Ling Han. At that time, Ling Han had just be free after burying the corpse of the unfortunate Zhentian Sect¡¯s disciple, who had met with his tragic death, and after waiting a little while, he saw Long Yu running towards him. ¡°Long Yu, how are you?¡± Ling Han asked hastily. ¡°I couldn¡¯t catch him instead I lost that long sword.¡± Long Yu said in a heavy voice. He would certainly not say anything about the best quality ancient ginseng to Ling Han. ¡°Did you see clearly who that person was?¡± Ling Han scowled: ¡°Could it be that it was actually a disciple of Qiansi sect? Now in the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest, it seems only that princess of Qiansi sect is your opponent, however even if it¡¯s her, there was no need for her to run from us.¡± ¡°It was a disciple of Qiansi Sect, his speed was very fast, but I don¡¯t know who he was.¡± Long Yu shook his head and said with regret. He said this and Ling Han couldn¡¯t certainly ask anything again, he just said: ¡°Brother, now you have obtained three ancient ginsengs, so you may first step out of the Royal ancient Ginseng Forest and ensure your own safety.¡± ¡°Brother, earlier you helped me by stopping the pursuers, and thanks to that, I got enough time to absorb the top-grade ancient ginseng.¡± Long Yu smiled shaking his head: ¡°Now, how can I leave first? I will at least help you find the middle-grade ancient ginseng, I cannot say for sure about the top-grade ancient ginseng, because the top-grade ancient ginsengs are not many in numbers in the entire Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest and we may be unable to find one. ¡± ¡°Good brother, I really haven¡¯t misread you.¡± Ling Hanughed. They discussed a little about the trip and respectively looked for a big tree then climbed it up to rest for the night, and to be ready to start again the next morning to find an ancient ginseng. ¡­¡­ Ten days quickly passed. They searched and soon found a middle-grade ancient ginseng, but until thest day, they didn¡¯t even see the trace of a top-grade ancient ginseng. ¡°Forget it, absorbing a middle-grade ancient ginseng in Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest is enough to help with my breakthrough into the Wudao eighthyer. As for the top-grade ancient ginseng, I don¡¯t have such extravagant demands.¡± While walking towards the way to the entrance of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, Ling Han said with a smile. He thought that after returning to Zhentian Sect, he would attempt to reach the Wudao eighthyer, and if he would be sessful in doing so, he could be able to choose one of the core disciples of Zhentian Sect to challenge. After a sessful challenge, he would be a core disciple, and then, he could go to the Martial Court of Zhentian Sect andprehend the best ss martial skills! For example, earlier, Feng Yun injured the right leg of Long Yu by using a martial skill called sky wave crossed, which was a best grade martial skill and its power was extremely terrific. Simrly, if one established mastery over a best grade martial skill like sky wave crossed, then one should be able to break through the defense of the Imperial rock martial skill of Tan Jian. Best grade martial skills were more powerful than the top grade martial skills. ¡°Young, this time you learned a lot, but also reached the Wudao seventhyer, and you were able to ovee even the masters of Wudao eighthyer. It seems that the chance for you to be a core disciple is just around the corner.¡± Ling Han said with a smile. ¡°Perhaps.¡± Long Yu nodded at will, but in the heart, he was actually thinking that challenging a core disciple was quite natural. When he would finish the absorption of the Lingqi stored in ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ then he would step into the Wudao eighthyer, and then, he would directly challenge Feng Yun! When he first entered Zhentian Sect, he continuously defeated Feng Yang and Fang Kang, but just one move of Feng Yun hit his right leg and he was seriously injured, and since then, he harbored a deep hatred for him and he had already decided to give him a thorough payback. Moreover, Feng Yun would also try to take away the ownership of the Feng can from the hands of his foster father, Feng Longsong, and Long Yu would certainly make the things much more impossible for him to achieve it. ¡°Yes, brother.¡± Arriving at the outlet of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, Long Yu suddenly remembered something and whispered into the ears of Ling Han: ¡°Later, if the people of royal n ask questions, you say I grew up together with you in Ling n¡¯s vi, ok?¡± Ling Han grew up in Ling n¡¯s vi, located in a mountain vige nearby Zhentian Sect. When Ling Han heard these words of Long Yu, he was a little bit surprised: ¡°What¡¯s the matter brother, do you have any connection with the royal n? I recently heard that the royal guards are searching for someone, but that should have nothing to do with you right?¡± ¡°Brother, frankly speaking, I don¡¯t remember my life experience, but I feel that it is somewhat rted with that metal armored youth. If he knows my life experience, I fear, he will create obstacles for me.¡± Long Yu exined. ¡°Rx, when the timees, I will say that you and I are childhood friends and we grew up together in Ling n¡¯s vi.¡± Ling Han smiled. Long Yu then felt relieved, they soon arrived at the exit of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. There were four metal armored royal guards at the edge of the door leading to the exit of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, performing their duties. That metal armored youth, having one third resemnce to Long Yu, also stood behind these four metal armored guards, and he was personally checking everybody without letting off anybody to pass easily! When they saw Long Yu and Ling Han on the way, metal armored youth and the four metal armored guards simultaneously said: ¡°You two, stop!¡± Chapter 44 – mystery of life experience (Part 2) Chapter 44 mystery of life experience (Part 2) The metal armored youth coldly shouted. This guy¡¯s cultivation was unfathomable, Long Yu and Ling Han certainly couldn¡¯t defy him, could only stop their footsteps. ¡°Zhentian sect disciples, Ling Han, Long Yu.¡± The metal armored youth looked towards both of them: ¡°Looking at your cultivation,paratively, you have improved a lot, especially you, Long Yu.¡± As he spoke, the metal armored youth looked at Long Yu with his sharp and piercing eyes: ¡°From Wudao sixthyer, you have upgraded to Wudao seventhyer, it seems that you picked up many ancient ginsengs, state the truth!¡± ¡°Low-grade ancient ginseng, top-grade ancient ginseng, I obtained all of them.¡± Long Yu was self-poised and calmly said while looking into the eyes of that metal armored youth. ¡°Hmph.¡± The metal armored youth¡¯s eyes gave a disdain look, he moved forward and came in front of Long Yu, and squinted at him: ¡°Your appearance, your name, reminds me of a waste!¡± ¡°Have we ever met before this?¡± Long Yu narrowed his eyes and asked. ¡°Now, I am the one asking questions here.¡± The metal armored youth said in a heavy voice: ¡°You are not qualified to ask questions! So keep your mouth shut!¡± ¡°Adults must not lose temper like this.¡± At this moment, Ling Han finally spoke out, smiled and said: ¡°He is my childhood friend from my Ling n¡¯s mountain vige, we have been together from infancy to adulthood, so he certainly cannot be the person who you are mistaking him for.¡± ¡°I also hope so, that waste should be unable to enter into the world of Wudao.¡± The metal armored youth said proudly, then immediately wave his hand: ¡°Search!¡± It was just a word and Long Yu immediately understood that the opposite party actually wanted to uncover the best quality ancient ginseng. Unfortunately, no matter how much these guys would search, they would never find the whereabouts of the best quality ancient ginseng! ¡­¡­ Soon, Ling Han and Long Yu were searchedpletely, but they did not find any suspicious item, so they were allowed to exit the Royal Ancient ginseng Forest. Ling Han was rxed, but Long Yu was thinking about the words that the youth had just said. ¡°¡­¡­ a waste ¡­¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡­ That waste should not be able to enter the world of Wudao¡­¡­¡± Putting all of this together, Long Yu was almost convinced that the words of metal armored youth were actually meant for him and he was surely rted with the metal armored youth. There might be blood links between them! Of course, that metal armored youth was only a guard of the royal princess and was not a person of the royal n, so it was hard to guess which n he actually belonged to. Long Yu didn¡¯t know whether he actually belonged to the Long n or not. While thinking so, Long Yu walked along with Ling Han and it didn¡¯t take much time for them to see Elder Yu, wearing a ck robe and standing not far from the gate, waiting for them. ¡°Elder Yu.¡± They took a few steps and reached to the side of Elder Yu. ¡°You came out, is the harvest good?¡± Elder Yu nced at the two and smiled. He clearly saw that the cultivation of these two men had improved, especially of Long Yu, whose cultivation had directly increased by oneyer. ¡°My cultivation is also good, Elder Yu, when I return to Zhentian Sect, I would attempt to reach to the Wudao eightyer, and if I be sessful in it, then I would prepare myself to challenge one of the core disciples.¡± Ling Han said directly in front of Elder Yu, he had nothing to hide. ¡°Not bad!¡± Elder Yu nodded his head, but didn¡¯t say anything, and continued to focus on the exit of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, at that time, hisplexion was not very good. This time, a total of sixteen disciples of Zhentian Sect came to participate in Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, but until now, only two, Long Yu and Ling Han came out of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. This year¡¯s casualties were many and seemed serious than that of the previous year. It was not just the case of Zhentian Sect, even the case of the other two sects was almost the same. So far as the case of Hanbing Sect was concerned, only Feng Yao as well as the other two disciples of the Wudao sixthyer had appeared, but in the case of Qiansi Sect, only disciple that came out was merely at the Wudao sixthyer. The strongest four disciples had not yet made their appearances. Just then, suddenly there came a very frightened cry for help from the side of the entrance to the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. ¡°Help! Save me!¡± A clear female voice with a tremendous fear, apanied by a burst of panic footsteps, passed through the ears of the people waiting outside the gate of the Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. Everyone, including Long Yu, looked towards the entrance of royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, and actually saw a young girl in ck clothing, running towards them, but it was like the death was pursuing her, innumerable long needle shadows were chasing her down. This young girl was actually Feng Qianqian, the beautiful disciple of Zhentian Sect. ¡°Stop!¡± The metal armored youth, at the exit of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, immediately spoke out loud but it had no effect on her. Innumerable long needle shadows caught her up at breakneck speed, and the next moment, they pierced through the body of Feng Qianqian, and suddenly bleeding started profusely from her body. Her eyes showed a desperate desire for survival, the long needle shadows that had pierced through her body, like snakes and scorpions, suddenly took her vitality. Feng Qianqian¡¯s body fell on the ground, her body was immediately covered with dust. When she fell down, a woman, wearing light yellow clothes, slowly paced out from the trees having a long bloodthirsty needle in her hands. ¡°It is the princess of Qiansi Sect.¡± Long Yu¡¯s pupils shrank a bit, and he thought that this Qiansi Sect¡¯s princess dared to kill a disciple of Zhentian Sect at the forest¡¯s exit, and it was clear from this incident she did not pay attention to the royal n! She didn¡¯t have any expression on her white face, as if killing a person was just an ordinary matter for her. She gradually moved towards the exit of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. ¡°Your Excellency, killing people at the exit of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest does not seem quite appropriate.¡± The metal armored youth frowned and said. As the princess¡¯s bodyguard, he had always been proud of himself, whenever he faced the disciples of the otherrge sects, he always behaved as if he was superior to them. Now, however, while facing the Qiansi sect¡¯s princess, even if her cultivation was inferior to him but he could not show disrespect to her. After all, he was certainly aware of her status in Qiansi sect, because her mother was actually the sovereign of Qiansi sect! Chapter 45 – Zhenling (Part 1) Chapter 45 Zhenling (Part 1) Metal armored youth showed soft attitude while confronting Yu Qianning, but his attitude was sharply different while dealing with others. Long Yu aside, watched this scene with his own eyes, and understood very well the importance of the strength in this world! With strength, there was identity, even the members of the royal n would be afraid to say anything! ¡°Surprisingly, Feng Qianqian didn¡¯t die at my hands, but she died at the hands of the princess of Qiansi sect, Yu Qianning¡­¡­¡­.¡± Long Yu thought in his mind. Beside him, the two persons, Elder Yu and Ling Han slightly wrinkled their eyebrows, and looked at the dead body of the girl, who was a disciple of their sect, and was killed in front of their eyes. Both of them absolutely didn¡¯t feel good about it, especially Elder Yu! However, in the face of the armored youth and the princess of Qiansi Sect, both endowed with special identity and status, even Elder Yu had not the qualifications to stand up and say anything to them. Otherwise, he would only suffer insult and shame in front of everyone. Having lived for so many years, Elder Yu clearly knew that royal n represented big power and status. Although, the dead body of Feng Qianqian was in front of him, but he had no way. After noticing the look in the eyes of Elder Yu, suddenly, Long Yu¡¯s heart was filled with the desire to gain strength. Whatever might be the reason, at least Elder Yu, old white and old ck, all of them, had been good to him, and from this point of view, Zhentian Sect was already a home for him and was actually even more intimate than his home in Feng n! ¡°The royal n has insulted us, it will have to pay back a hundred times more in the future!¡± Long Yu set a firm resolve. Yu Qianning didn¡¯t say anything to the metal armored youth, she just walked out of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest. As she came out, she looked at Long Yu and Ling Han with a touch of contempt in her eyes: ¡°You two, your strengths are quite pleasing to the eye, I will wait for you in the seven sectspetition and under the ring eyes of the people, I will kill both of you. Let everyone know that my Qiansi sect is the strongest of all the seven sects of Tang state!¡± These words were extremely arrogant, extremely proud, and not only aimed at Long Yu and Ling Han, but also against Feng Yao of Hanbing Sect. Theirplexions changed and looked quite unsightly, this Yu Qianning was too arrogant, right? Seven sectspetition was a martial artspetition among all the seven big sects of the entire Tang State and it was held once in every five years, in which, all leading disciples of these sects participated, such as the disciples of Zhentian Sect town or Hanbing Sect, etc. This Yu Qianning, although was very strong, butpared with the strong experts, who would participate in thispetition, her strength was not enough. ¡°Brother, when is the seven sectspetition scheduled to be held?¡± Long Yu inquired in a soft voice. ¡°After six months, seven sectspetition will be held in the Imperial City of Tang State.¡± Ling Han clenched his fist and said, with a look of intense anticipation in his eyes. Seven sectspetition was the war among the strongest disciples of younger generation of the entire Tang State. If they were able to board the stage, then the whole attention of the Tang state would be on them! Not only that, seven sectspetition also held a special meaning for Ling Han. Of course, this special significance was difficult for outsiders to understand, Ling Han didn¡¯t even tell Long Yu about it, not because he didn¡¯t trust Long Yu but because he didn¡¯t find it necessary to tell him. When Yu Qianning came out, in session, there were five Wudao sixthyer disciples of Qiansi Sect who followed her out of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest and the cultivation of all seemed to have improved a lot. However, the disciples of Hanbing Sect and Zhentian Sect didn¡¯te out from the forest. Smart people knew that the reason for this was quite simple, the disciples of Qiansi sect followed the principle of kill on sight and the disciples of the other two sects had basically been killed off in the forest! Seeing this, theplexions of Elder Yu and Elder of Hanbing Sect became very ugly. ¡°Qiansi sect, I will truthfully report this to my sect¡¯s sovereign, goodbye!¡± The Elder of Hanbing Sect said these words, and along with Feng Yao and other surviving disciples, turned and left the ce, but he didn¡¯t forget to threaten before leaving. ¡°Time is up, I don¡¯t think anyone else is going toe out¡­¡­ we should go.¡± Elder Yu sighed and turned around to depart with Long Yu and Ling Han. In total sixteen disciples of Zhentian Sect came, but in the end only two of them survived, and the third surviving one was killed by Yu Qianning of Qiansi Sect. This matter, Elder Yu would definitely convey to the sovereign of Zhentian Sect, he would never let off Qiansi Sect so easily. ¡­¡­ Long Yu and Ling Han rode the horses and while following Elder Yu, they left Royal Ancient Ginseng city. ¡°Hurry up, increase the speed.¡± Elder Yu urged the two, as if he had an ominous premonition. Needless to say, besides Elder Yu, Long Yu also vaguely felt an unusual atmosphere. The killing of the disciple of Zhentian Sect by Yu Qianning at the exit of Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest seemed absolutely deliberate! Three horses were galloping in the vast prairies, but when they reached almost halfway, suddenly there came a hurricane blowing from behind them. ¡°They areing, you go separately, at this time, you must return to Zhentian Sect and tell the matter to our sovereign!¡± Elder Yu said with a dignified look on his face, although, his face was hidden under a ck robe, but his voice sounded iparably firm and resolute. ¡°Elder Yu, what about you?¡± Ling Han didn¡¯t understand what he meant, could not help but asked aloud. ¡°Pursuers areing to sweep us clean, you go quickly!¡± As Elder Yu¡¯s voice fell, he shot both his palms in the air, sending waves of Xuan qi towards the two horses and whipped on their buttocks. Suddenly, the two horses picked up speed as if they were going all out and fleeing to save their lives, making them to go farther and faster very quickly, in a short time. Soon, Elder Yu heart insidious waves ofughter behind him, and soon, swift winds with hurricane came rushing from behind. Chapter 45 – Zhenling (Part 2) Chapter 45 Zhenling (Part 2) ¡°Ha ha ha. You want to escape, but do you actually think you can?¡± In the bigughter, three figures directly appeared from the hurricane, and one of them turned towards Elder Yu and the other two respectively chased after Long Yu and Ling Han. ¡°Men of Qiansi Sect, move fast!¡± Long Yu saw it and instantly understood everything, and immediately said to Ling Han. ¡°How do they dare to do such a thing?¡± Ling Han was shocked a bit. He couldn¡¯t imagine that the men of Qiansi Sect would unexpectedly dare to resort to such action, and would attack them right after leaving the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest. They would try to kill them without taking the fact into their consideration that such action on their part might provoke war between both the sects? ¡°With the backing of the royal n, why can¡¯t they dare to do so?¡± Long Yu had guessed a little, and his guess was correct, that perhaps, there was the involvement of royal n in this matter. Ling Han¡¯s face suddenly sank down: ¡°So to say, just now, that Yu Qianning said that she would kill us in the seven sectspetition, but in fact, this was actually just to distract us, so that they can catch us off guard in case we are unprepared.¡± When Long Yu heard these words from Ling Han, he came to the conclusion that this fellow apprentice was not actually a fool. However, now thinking about all these things were of no use. Two strong men of Qiansi Sect were chasing them in the vast prairies, and unexpectedly their speed was more than the speed of their horses. ¡°These two men seemed to have exceeded Wudao ninthyer, and their levels seemed to be at par with that metal armored youth, we will never be their opponents.¡± Long Yu thought in his mind and looked at the enemies, who wereing closer at a lightning speed. At that time,plexion of his face was not quite good. If this continued, he and Ling Han would be overtaken sooner orter. However, at this point, a frightening heavy pressure was released from the body of Elder Yu, and instantaneously proliferated all around the atmosphere, and immediately, itpletely enveloped the two men, who were chasing Long Yu and Ling Han. ¡°Zhentian hand print, Zhenling, now!¡± A vigorous powerful voice of Elder Yu resounded in the air, and with the move of Zhentian hand print, a heavy repressive worldw, in the shape of a big shadow hand print, pervaded throughout the surrounding. With the move of Zhentian hand print, the big shadow hand print, with each of its finger as the size of a human being, Elder Yu suddenly pped his palm out, containing enough repressive force to tten dozens of people at once! There was a surge of suppression everywhere in the atmosphere, and it resulted into an instant cohesion, since the power of the big shadow hand print, all of a sudden, suppressed the three enemies. ¡°You wanted to chase us, first try and ovee this!¡± Elder Yu shouted loudly, he didn¡¯te into any action, but he simply swept away his Zhentian hand print Zhenling, and the heavy suppression enveloped the pursuers from behind and dragged them from behind, stopping them from chasing Long Yu and Ling Han. Although, it was only a shadow of big hand print, but its pull was so powerful that it dragged the chasers to fly up! ¡°What is this martial skill?¡± Long Yu turned his head to look back, and could not help but feel a shock in his heart. The cultivation of Elder Yu was unfathomable, and he could actually congeal such a big hand print, not just that, he could also use heavy suppression, which was more profound than that of his Zhentian mysterious charm. ¡°No, this is not a martial skill, this is Zhenling!¡± Ling Han and Long Yu were riding side by side, there was some excitement in his voice: ¡°A cultivator above Wudao ninthyer is able to condense the Zhenling, once one bes able tomunicate with the world! After congealing the Zhenling, one can step into other level, and then no matter how strong these people of Wudao ninthyer actually are, they can¡¯t beat the strong masters who have congealed Zhenling!¡± Long Yu listened to it, but in his heart, he thought, did this Zhenling thing really work? A master of Wudao ninthyer needed to congeal Zhenling to enter into the other level! ¡°The congealed shape of Zhenling is not the same for everyone, the Zhenling of Elder Yu is based on Zhentian tactics and can congeal the Zhentian hand print, and that¡¯s how he is able to release more profound power of the repressive worldw.¡± Ling Han continued. ¡°Zhenling was really amazing.¡± There was a shining look in Long Yu¡¯s eyes. But the situation immediately changed, and their hearts began to stumble. ¡°Old man, since you want to die, we will first help you out!¡± The three strong masters of Qiansi Sect were powerful enough even when they were facing the Zhentian hand print, so they unhurriedly surrounded him up. Then, three human shaped shadows congealed behind the three men. Each of these had a gloomy strange aura and they instantly confronted the Zhentian huge hand print of Elder Yu. ¡°Unexpectedly, they can also use Zhenling!¡± Long Yu saw this, and clenched his teeth, perhaps Elder Yu was not the match of these people and this was a deliberate ambush, so it was easy to consider that they had already taken into ount the strength of Elder Yu. ¡°Brother, we should escape quickly!¡± Long Yu said and pulled the reins of his horse to make it run faster. Since Elder Yu was fighting for them to gain time, so he would definitely live up to the expectations of Elder Yu. Ling Han¡¯s face was full of unwilling color, but soon, Elder Yu and the three figurative statures disappeared from their sights, so they turned and dashed away on their horses. ¡°If anything happened to Elder Yu, I, Ling Han will remove Qiansi Sect from the map of this world.¡± There was a hideous color on his face. Not just him, even Long Yu also felt the same. But now, they were too weak to stay there, because staying there was no different than courting death! They must go back to Zhentian Sect and report everything to the sovereign! Chapter 46 – Nine Hidden Dragon Fist (Part 1) Chapter 46 Nine Hidden Dragon Fist (Part 1) Long Yu and Ling Han moved separately, and all the way rode on the horses in the direction of Zhentian Sect. After seven days, Long Yu finally returned to the entrance of Zhentian canyon. Elder Yu resorted to using Zhenling and fought for enough time to allow them to flee to Zhentian Sect. After arriving in Zhentian canyon, finally he was safe. ¡°Long Yu, you¡¯re back!¡± When Long Yu arrived at the entrance of Zhentian canyon, he didn¡¯t dismount, he saw a pretty figure running out from the gorge, her face was full with the color of joy, it was actually Liao Lele! ¡°It is you.¡± Long Yu smiled and jumped off the back of horse. ¡°Brother Ling Han arrived before you, we already know everything about the things happened in Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest.¡± Liao Lele was extremely happy: ¡°He hase back a day before. I didn¡¯t see you with him and thought that you wouldn¡¯te back.¡± Regarding this happy attitude of Liao Lele, Long Yu was certainly disinclined to pay any attention. ¡°That Qiansi Sect is really too hateful, but fortunately, our Zhentian sect¡¯s sovereign went into action, and went to Qiansi ancestor to settle scores with them, he will definitely not let them off so easily.¡± Liao Lele was brandishing her small fists. She was filled with righteous indignation regarding this matter. ¡°Sovereign went into action? That¡¯s good.¡± Long Yu nodded then scowled: ¡°Have you received any news about Elder Yu?¡± ¡°No.¡± Liao Lele¡¯s face showed a gloomy look: ¡°Yesterday, Old ck went to find him, but we still haven¡¯t received any news about him, perhaps¡­¡­..¡± The situation seemed quite ominous. Long Yu secretly guessed. Elder Yu was alone and had been encircled by three enemies, so he had to depend on his amazing Zhentian hand print, Zhenling, and considering this, if he wanted to withdraw then it must not have been difficult. But in order to stop these enemies from chasing down Long Yu and Ling Han, there was no way for Elder Yu to transmit his news. ¡°Boy,e up quickly.¡± At this moment, old white¡¯s voice fell into Long Yu¡¯s ears, and he immediately turned his face towards the old white and nodded once. After greeting Liao Lele once, he went towards the peak of Zhentian canyon along the mountain road. On the summit, he saw old white wearing a white robe, keeping his hands crossed behind his back. Bone chilling cold mountain breeze was blowing his hoary hair like a chaotic dance and was fluttering with his white gown, making him give the seemingly appearance of an immortal. ¡°Young fellow, very good, Wudao seventhyer.¡± Old white said without looking, he just smiled and nodded once with a look of satisfaction on his face. Long Yu stood not far behind him, he said in a sinking voice: ¡°It¡¯s a pity, other fellow apprentices¡­¡­¡­.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Old white turned back and waved: ¡°Youe here and sit down, I heard from that kid Ling Han that Hua Qin and Hua Yun of Qiansi Sect and Tan Jian, our strongest inner disciple, all of them coborated to kill you, but were killed by you instead, is it true?¡± ¡°Yes, but at that time, they had a fight and were already quite injured.¡± Long Yu thought and replied. ¡°Even if they were injured, your strength is enough and challenging a core disciple should not be a problem.¡± Old white nodded with satisfaction. He didn¡¯t regret the death of Tan Jian rather he focused his attention on the talent of Long Yu. So long as Long Yu continued to grow up and be stronger at this rate, then he would be able to y much more important role in enhancing the prestige of Zhentian Sectpared to that Tan Jian. ¡°There are 108 core disciples in Zhentian Sect, and so long as you challenge and defeat one of the core disciples sessfully, then you will be able to be a core disciple and will also be eligible to enter the Martial Court to select and practice super grade martial skill.¡± To be able to practice a super grade martial skill had a great allure to it and Long Yu was not an exception. But, now Long Yu didn¡¯t worry about the matter, but he just wanted to quickly absorb the stored rich Lingqi of the best quality ancient ginseng. Once promoted to Wudao eighthyer, his ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ would be able to have further transformation and it would not only increase his strength but also grant him a formidable martial skill! Long Yu believed that the martial skill, which would be granted to him by the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯, would be much more formidable than the super grade martial skills of Zhentian Sect. ¡°Boy, I suggest you to challenge a core disciple with a rank after the hundredth rank, it should be rtively safe.¡± Old white stroked his gray beard, narrowed his eyes and said. ¡°Old white, I want to challenge Feng Yun.¡± Long Yu suddenly said in a confident manner. ¡°Feng Yun?¡± Old white was suddenly surprised. Feng Yun was a core disciple of tenth rank, had incessantly practiced a super grade martial skill and his fighting efficiency was outstanding! Before going to Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, Long Yu was seriously injured by just one move of Feng Yun, and now that he came back from Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest, he suddenly wanted to challenge Feng Yun? This was nothing but indulging in fantasy. ¡°Boy perhaps you don¡¯t know that Feng Yun has already recovered from his injuries, and after practicing for thest few days, he has also stepped into the Wudao ninthyer.¡± Old white said in a dignified tone: ¡°You want to challenge him but I am afraid that you stillck strength. Also, the provision of the sect is that as the first challenge, one can¡¯t challenge the top ten core disciples, so you will have to find another target to hit upon.¡± Long Yu listened to it and narrowed his eyes. As the first challenge to be a core disciple, he couldn¡¯t challenge the top ten disciples, and this was the rule, but he could understand the idea behind it, if not, wouldn¡¯t the top ten disciples be too busy in meeting the challenges from others? The top ten core disciples were the basic foundation of the sect, and they devoted most of their time in practicing, instead of epting the challenges from others. ¡°Such being the case, I would challenge the 108th core disciple.¡± Long Yu was somewhat disappointed, shook his head and said. Since he couldn¡¯t challenge Feng Yun, then challenging anyone else was almost the same for him, so he decided to challenge the 108th core disciple, he was rxed, now the chance of winning was bigger and the most important thing was time-saving. ¡°Good¡± Old white nodded: ¡°I will help you in proposing that, moreover, at what time you would like to challenge?¡± ¡°Seven dayster.¡± Long Yu said without hesitation. Now, the Feng n meeting was going to be held in about a month¡¯s time, so he must be a core disciple before that and learn a super grade martial skill so that he would be able to beat Feng Yun in the Feng n¡¯s gathering. Now, Feng Yun had set his foot in the Wudao ninthyer, and his fighting skill was also terrifying. Long Yu must be well equipped with sufficient preparation. Long Yu only had the martial skill granted by ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark but even that might not be enough. When the consultation with Old white was over, Long Yu went to discuss with Ling Han. Ling Han told him that he was ready to being his closed door training for seven days and would try to reach the Wudao eighthyer, and if he seeded in doing so, then he would also challenge one of the core disciples with Long Yu. They chatted for a while, and soon, Ling Han said goodbye and left to begin his closed door training. Immediately Long Yu turned around to return to the bamboo room, and prepared to absorb the rich Lingqi of the best quality ancient ginseng, stored up in ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯. Chapter 46 – Nine Hidden Dragon Fist (Part 2) Chapter 46 Nine Hidden Dragon Fist (Part 2) The news that Long Yu was about to challenge the 108th core disciple spread fast like forest fire in Zhentian Sect. ¡°Long Yu has just crossed the threshold and joined the sect, and one after another, he has defeated Tan Yue, Han Jian, Feng Yang and Fang Kang?¡± ¡°Yes, and now he wants to challenge the core of disciple of 108th rank, named He Renyi!¡± ¡°Are you kidding me, he is just an outer disciple and actually attempts to challenge a core disciple?¡± ¡°This is called indulging in fantasy. He thinks that just because he went to Royal Ancient Ginseng Forest and came back alive, he will be able to be a core disciple?¡± Numerous disciples of Zhentian Sect were talking about the challenge, but they weren¡¯t in favor of Long Yu. However, Long Yu didn¡¯t pay any attention to the outlook of the other people about the challenge. Now, he was fully concentrated on absorbing the stored rich Ling qi of the best quality ancient ginseng. ¡°To step into the Wudao eighthyer, I must work on expanding my heavenly arteries. If the heavenly arteries respective to Wudao seventhyer is like a point of contact with the world, then heavenly arteries respective to Wudao eighthyer is like a line of contact with the world.¡± In the bamboo room, Long Yu concentrated on the practice, unceasingly quenching himself with the rich Lingqi of the best quality ancient ginseng. The process of expansion of the heavenly arteries was not an easy process for anyone in the Wudao seventhyer, because the process of breakthrough became extremely difficult with each sessiveyer. Even if it was a genius like Long Yu, it could not be achieved easily. Therefore, he gave himself the reserve of seven days, and within seven days of time, however difficult it might be, he must break through to the Wudao eighthyer. If amon person wanted to break through to the Wudao eighthyer, he would have to face untold hardships, and so long as he had enough Lingqi, achieving it in one go would not be difficult. Under the support of the rich Lingqi of the best quality ancient ginseng, the heavenly arteries of Long Yu expanded unceasingly. In this process, Long Yu felt that the contact with the world was getting more and more close, making him even more profoundlyprehend the suppression principle of Zhentian tactics, and it gradually expanded his meridians. Moreover, the vital energy began to circte through the meridians in his whole body, and as the impact of the rich Lingqi quenching became sturdier, his body would be able to hold the cirction ofrger amounts of Xuan qi, but this was only the foundation of the boundary promotion of martial arts. Only a stronger body could hold a stronger strength, but Long Yu had practiced demon tyrant form, so he didn¡¯t need to worry about it. Until third day, early morning, Long Yu felt as if his heavenly arteries, all of a sudden, made a connection with the world, making him suddenly see the light, andpared with his time in the Wudao seventhyer, he could feel much more breath of the world. Immediately, Xuan qi began to surge forward in his body and emerged in each and every inch of his flesh and blood rapidly, and his basic strength of 72,000 Jin increased to 120,000 Jin all of a sudden. 120,000 Jin was only sketchiness, and ording to the urate view, it was the strength of 120 fierce horses. This was the basic strength that all the masters of Wudao eighthyer generally used to have. ¡°Now, each and every punch will be equal to the strength generated by 128 dashing fierce horses.¡± Long Yu opened his both eyes, and felt that the strength of his whole body was surging up, as if an indomitable spirit just woke up inside him. When Wudao eighthyer waspared to Wudao seventhyer, the disparity was actually enormous, when his strength actually went past the 100,000 Jin figure then the feeling itself waspletely different. Earlier, Long Yu had defeated masters of Wudao eighthyer like Tan Jian and others, but at that time, they were injured, so Long Yu was able to defeat them withparatively less difficulty, otherwise, encircled by the three enemies of Wudao eighthyer, and if they were uninjured then he would surely have met his death back then. ¡°Wudao eighthyer finally achieved. Nine hidden Dragon Mark really started transforming.¡± Long Yu lowered his head and looked at the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ on his chest. He just felt a burst of hot breath as well cold breath from the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ and it instantly spread to all of his limbs and bones making his whole body to tremble suddenly. Then, he saw that the ck trace of lines were emanating from the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ and were bing deeper, it could even make people feel that this breath was from theher world itself. ¡°Activate!¡± Long Yu felt the transformation of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ then he attempted to activate it by using his Xuan qi, and immediately, a fearful great strength spread in all of his limbs and bones. 100,000 Jin! The strength of 100 fierce horses! After the transformation of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ wasplete, he obtained the strength of 100,000 Jin, and it was ten times more than the strength earlier granted to during thest transformation. This instant transformation took ce in Long Yu¡¯s strength, however, most of his joy was not only that. A best grade martial skill was deeply engraved in his mind, he was simply unable to forget about it even if he wanted to. ¡°So this is a best grade martial skill called ¡®Nine hidden Dragon fist¡¯ and the strength granted by it is much more than a super grade martial skill.¡± Long Yu indeed had great expectations from ¡®Nine hidden Dragon fist¡¯. Chapter 47 – Intoxicated hell (Part 1) Chapter 47 Intoxicated hell (Part 1) The best grade martial skill, ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Fist¡¯. Of all types of martial skills, Long Yu knew well that low grade martial skills were the mostmon, and the middle grade and the top grade martial skills were stronger that the lower grade martial skills. But super grade martial skills were the strongest kind of martial skills that Long Yu had ever seen, for example, earlier when Feng Yun disyed his sky wave cross, it was actually a super grade martial skill, and only core disciples were eligible to practice various super grade martial skills. But, Long Yu had never heard about the best grade martial skills. One could imagine how powerful a skill ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Fist¡¯ actually was. ¡°The Nine hidden Dragon Fist is divided into high and low, two techniques, and presently, I can practice the first technique, named ¡®Intoxicated hell.¡¯ As for the second technique, ¡®Awaking palm rebirth¡¯, I will have to wait until the next transformation of ¡®¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯¡¯.¡± Long Yu thought in his mind then scowled. ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ passed on information to him that ¡®Intoxicated hell¡¯ was a best grade martial skill, but it had not given any hint regarding the second technique, ¡®awaking palm rebirth.¡¯ ¡°The second technique is always stronger than the first technique, but with current state of my strength, I can¡¯t practice it. Is it adequate to assume that there is one more level above the best grade martial skills?¡± Long Yu thought for a moment but could not get to any conclusion so he was kind of forced to give up thinking about this topic. Anyway, by that time, everything would be clear, and now, he only wanted to concentrate on practicing the first technique, ¡®Intoxicated hell¡¯. ¡°The Nine hidden Dragon Fist, ck qi from the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ is released into the body meridians, and then in every fight, with the help of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Fist¡¯, not only my speed will be extremely fast, but the power will also be enormous.¡± Long Yu thought deeply about the introduction of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Fist¡¯ and started to practice it ording to the view rted to the revolving of Xuan qi in the body. While practicing ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Fist¡¯, the most important and most basic step was that he should be able to transform the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon qi¡¯ into his Xuan qi and control its cirction in his meridians. Practicing the Nine hidden Dragon Fist was absolutely impossible for amon cultivator, only a cultivator with ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ on his body would be able to practice it. The ¡®Nine hidden Dragon qi¡¯ actually arose from the depths of the hell itself. Now, Long Yu knew that earlier, when Feng Yun hit a punch on the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯, then Feng Yun was actually rebounded and was seriously injured, in fact, he was hit by the sudden release of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon qi¡¯. What a pity, then, Long Yu was unable to control the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon qi¡¯ at his own initiative, this was the reason that the injuries received by Feng Yu were not very serious, and he not only recovered from this injuries in mere one to two months, but was also able to reach the Wudao ninthyer. ¡°Nine hidden Dragon qies from the hell and enters in the rebirth cycle, it contains two different extremes, life and death. If I canpletelyprehend ¡®Nine hidden Dragon qi¡¯, then I may be able to attempt toprehend the ideal conditions of life and death.¡± (Note- Ideal condition is basically mysterious mood.) Long Yu¡¯s eyes flickered, but unfortunately, he was now very far away from this level as well. Regarding ¡®Nine hidden Dragon qi¡¯, even if he was able to transform it into Xuan qi inside his meridians, but in order to utilize it, it was necessary for him to learn about the condensation of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon qi¡¯. Only after condensing ¡®Nine hidden Dragon qi¡¯, he could begin toprehend the ideal conditions of life and death! ¡°The Nine hidden Dragon Fist, the fist technique, stance, if ¡®the Intoxicated hell¡¯ was idea condition of life and death work together then even a fist would be enough to decide someone¡¯s life and death.¡± ording to the introduction of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Fist¡¯, Long Yu sent Xuan qi in his body meridians, and immediately there spread a surge of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon qi¡¯ out of the mark and it began to circte throughout his body. ¡°Intoxicated hell, congeal!¡± Long Yu clenched his right fist, and suddenly, a burst of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon qi¡¯ condensed on his fist, making his fist being covered in a fuzzy ck fog, and it looked awe-inspiringly overbearing. Long Yu shot out a punch into the thin air, and immediately, the Nine hidden Dragon qi condensed on his fist shook the surrounding air, and instantly, a terrifying air current began to curl up and rushed forward. ¡°Thanks to the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ on my chest, I can actually use this ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Fist¡¯ at will, but now, the disy of these fists are only at the beginner level.¡± Long Yu thought in his heart. Any martial skill, once achieving its Xiao Cheng level, one could show its might, and if achieved its Da Cheng level, one could showparatively more power than that of the Xiao Cheng level. But after reaching the peak level, there would be a transformation and one could disy more power inparison to previous two levels, however after achieving the perfect level, the might would be terrifying and simply unpredictable. The first technique, ¡®Intoxicated hell¡¯, of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯ was naturally like that as well. ¡°Once I achieve Xiao Cheng level, ¡®the Intoxicated hell¡¯ can let my speed and strength increase by multiple times. Using the strength of 200,000 Jin, after activating the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯, even my average punch should be able to beat amon master of Wudao ninthyer. In Long Yu¡¯s eyes, there emerged a strong self-confidence, and atst, he gained some sense of security. Considering the martial strength was actually the dignity in this world, masters at the Wudao ninthyer stood at the peak of mortals. As for those with their cultivation level above the peak Wudao ninthyer, the congealment of Zhenling was necessary, and many masters of the various sects and royal n had already achieved such level and their cultivation level had also exceeded the imagination of mortals. If ¡°Intoxicated hell¡¯ is practiced to the Da Cheng level, then a punch will be able to make opponents see the road to hell, inducing the fear of death, to deter their minds with extreme fear.¡± Long Yu was determined to practice ¡®Intoxicated hell¡¯ to the Da Chen level within the next four days, and as a result, even while facing Feng Yun, there would be a certainty of his victory. To make the opponents sense the fear of death, he would first have to himself sense the fear of death by putting himself into a near-death situation, and that was the only way to be able to maximize the power of ¡®Intoxicated hell¡¯. Chapter 47 – Intoxicated hell (Part 2) Chapter 47 Intoxicated hell (Part 2) However, regarding this thing about sensing the fear of death, Long Yu already had profound experiences like these, being the strongest hitman in his previous life, he had faced hundreds of thousands of times life and death experiences which had already made him ustomed to life and death scenarios! Long before the awakening of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯, Long Yu remembered that even when those belonging to the tribe of ¡°descendants of the dragon¡± wanted toprehend the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Fist¡¯, then they must go out for a long time to have innumerable life and death experiences, then only they were able to sessfully reach the Da Cheng level of this move. But now, all kinds of past experiences helped Long Yu in progressing rapidly in his practice of ¡®Intoxicated hell¡¯. After four days, he reached the Da Cheng level of ¡®Intoxicated hell¡¯. Now, Long Yu¡¯s random fist could even melt the road to hell, making ¡®Nine hidden Dragon breath¡¯ to envelop the opponent, and ultimately, it could frighten the opponent by inducing extreme fear in their mind. In addition to that, his fist would have the strength of fierce horses that even a Wudao ninth level master like Feng Yun would absolutely be unable to resist. ¡°However, this ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Fist¡¯ is now my strongest trump card, ast resort, it is better not to show it in front of other people unless it¡¯s essential.¡± Long Yu fully realized the hidden strength of ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Fist¡¯, if not absolutely necessary to use it, he would never use it in front of anyone. Who would use an axe to kill a chicken? By this time, the seven days time, as agreed before, had finally crossed. ¡°It¡¯s time to challenge the core disciple of 108th rank¡± Long Yu got up and went out of the bamboo room. ¡­¡­ Zhentian Sect, Resorting to violence field. Resorting to violence field was the fighting ce for the disciples. Moreover, it was also the ce where fighting was held between a challenger disciple and a core disciple in order to qualify for the ranks of a core disciple. Generally, resorting to violence field wouldn¡¯t have a lot of people, because of its remoteness. It was situated in the second highest mountain peak of Zhentian Sect, and it needed a lot of effort formon people to climb it up. Today, however, the field of resorting to violence was crowded, as much as thousands of disciples of Zhentian Sect came here to watch the fights. Because today, in the resorting to violence field, a total of three people were to challenge the core disciples, and one of them, had challenged Feng Yun, a core disciple of 10th rank. The top ten rankings of core disciples had not changed for thest six months, this time, could the challenger seed? In addition, Long Yu and Ling Han challenged 108th and 107th core disciples, and it had also captured the attention of many people. Of course, regarding Long Yu, many people came tough at him, but as far as Ling Han was concerned, many people had high expectations from him. After all, Ling Han was like the prestige of the inner disciples, unlike Long Yu, who had gained a notorious reputation in the sect in such a short time. In front of everyone, as the spectators had anticipated, a solemn man dressed in white, paced through the entrance of the resorting to violence field. ¡°Yang Tiancuo, ranked 13th core disciple, he is here!¡± ¡°Sure enough, Yang Tiancuo wants to challenge ranked 10th core disciple, Feng Yun!¡± ¡°He has stayed at the 13th rank for nearly a year, perhaps by challenging Feng Yun, he may seed in stepping into the top 10 core disciples.¡± ¡°That is but actually uncertain, because earlier, Feng Yun was at Wudao eighthyer and was still able to be a core disciple of 10th rank. Now he has stepped into the Wudao ninthyer, and his true strength can rival the top five core disciples.¡± ¡°You misjudge the top five core disciples. The top five core disciples have already congealed the Zhenling, so a Wudao ninthyer master like Feng Yun is no match for them.¡± Resorting to violence field was filled with voices, everyone was discussing about the uing fights! However, that white robed solemn man, Yang Tiancuo, who entered the resorting to violence field, didn¡¯t hear the voices of the people, just maintained his walking pace, and calmly walked towards the centre of the field. After arriving in the centre, he looked up and said. ¡°Feng Yun, I have arrived.¡± There was a hint of indifference in the voice of Yang Tiancuo. ¡°Ha ha ha ha!¡± A haughtyughter arrived from the top of the stand, and along with thisughter, a man dressed in white, lightly walked towards the center of the resorting to violence field. This man, although wasughing, but his personal appearance was actually iparably light, like an elegant gentleman, without a single tinct of disgust around him. He was Feng Yun. Since Feng Yun was sted away like a ball by Long Yu ball near the entrance of the Martial Court after being attacked by ¡®Nine hidden Dragon qi¡¯, and due to that, he suffered internal injuries and had to rest for two months to recoverpletely. And this time, he had already entered the Wudao ninthyer, so his strength also reached the next level. ¡°Waste Long Yu, I will definitely cut you into pieces.¡± Remember the pain he had to experience for thest two months, Feng Yun developed a deep hatred for Long Yu, but on the surface, he didn¡¯t show his anger, instead smiled slightly, it could be said that his performance was very elegant. Feng Yun wanted to cut Long Yu to pieces, but at that moment, he and Ling Han were together and sitting in a corner of the resorting to violence field to watch the fight. ¡°Core disciple rank tenth, Feng Yun, it¡¯s usually difficult to get to see him like this.¡± Ling Han squinted and said while looking at Feng Yun across the field. ¡°It seems he has really stepped into the Wudao ninthyer, there is major change in his strength.¡± Long Yu nodded and said. If Feng Yu was still at the same strength that he had at the time of the fight near the entrance to Martial Court, then Long Yu was sure that Feng Yun would not be his opponent right now. But, now that Feng Yun entered the Wudao ninthyer, he was definitely much stronger than before. Yang Tiancuo and Feng Yun, both d in white clothes, the former looked solemn and thetter looked refined, making quite a striking contrast. One was the core disciple of 13th rank and other was the core disciple of 10th rank. The long-awaited collision between two strong disciples was soon going to begin! Chapter 48 – Injustice (Part 1) Chapter 48 Injustice (Part 1) In ¡®Resorting to violence¡¯ field, Yang Tiancuo and Feng Yun were confronting each other. Feng Yun looked indifferent, there was a solemn look on Yang Tiancuo¡¯s face, obviously this battle was very important for him, moreover he already knew about that Feng Yun was very strong. Suddenly, Yang Tiancuo¡¯s white appearance shed, and before the onlookers could react, he appeared behind Feng Yun. ¡°It is a super grade martial skill, horizon is close!¡± ¡°His speed is too fast, the horizon must seem really close in the eyes of Yang Tiancuo.¡± ¡°No, I think Yang Tiancuo has not yet reached the peak level, it seems he has only reached the Da Cheng level. But even so, it is enough to be proud of.¡± The voices began to arise from all around, but the situation was calm in the field. Everyone saw Feng Yun raising his hand, the white wave of Xuan qi congealed suddenly, it actually bypassed his body and was shot towards Yang Tiancuo. Super grade martial skill, ¡®Sky wave cross¡¯! ¡®Sky wave cross¡¯ martial skill was not a one-off attack, but rather a means of maniption of Xuan qi ripples, and if practiced to the Da Cheng level, one could even use it to attack and defend, then its might would really be iparably terrifying. At this moment, the ripples of Xuan qi congealed by Feng Yun attacked Yang Tiancuo and headed towards him in a sh. The white Xuan qi ripples arrived closer and closer to Yang Tiancuo, but his facial color was invariable, and suddenly, in a sh, his personal appearance dodged to one side and appeared in the other direction. ¡®Horizon is close¡¯ was a super grade agility type martial skill, its eleration effect was much more than that of flickering wind step. In case of ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯, although it could upgrade the speed of the cultivator by 40%-50% with each enhancement of cultivation, and after reaching the Da Cheng level, even one flickering step was equivalent to almost 30 feet distance, but it was still inferior to ¡®horizon is close¡¯. If ¡®horizon is close¡¯ was practiced to the Da Cheng level, one could travel short distances in a sh, and when it was required to pull off long-distance runs, such as in cases of chasing to kill or escaping from a very fast enemy, this martial skill was very advantageous and superior to other agility type martial skills! ¡°Horizon is close, this agility type martial skill is good, I will wait until I be a core disciple then I will definitely practice this martial skill.¡± Long Yu was watching the fight and thought in his heart. Now, Long Yu had a formidable fist technique called ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Fist¡¯, he had practiced a defense technique called ¡®Demon tyrant form¡¯, he just need a better agility type martial skill than ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯. Although ¡®Flickering wind step¡¯ was also a smooth to use agility type martial skill, but sometimes, it seemed powerless in front of fast enemies. If he practiced ¡®horizon is close¡¯, a lot of things would be much simpler for him. In the field, the situation was still the same, Feng Yun was unceasingly congealing Xuan qi ripples and attacking Yang Tiancuo, but Yang Tiancuo was relying on the extremely fast speed of a super grade agility type martial skill, horizon is close, to constantly dodge the attacks, and so far, he had not been hit even once. Both were at the Wudao ninthyer, each of their attacks seemed as if 200 fierce horses were galloping at once in the field. It was quite a spectacle and the attacks would raise the cloud of dust in the center of ¡®resorting to violence¡¯ field, making it an intense battle. Long Yu was observing the battle carefully and realized that whether it was Feng Yun or Yang Tiancuo, each of them had practiced only one super grade martial skill, other than that, they were using top grade martial skills, although they had practiced these top grade martial skills to the perfection level. ¡°It seems that it¡¯s too difficult to practice a super grade martial skill, so very few people can practice two super grade martial skills.¡± Long Yu thought about it while also thinking about his best grade martial skill, ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Fist¡¯. Fortunately, when he was practicing ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Fist¡¯, he had the advantage of having innumerable past experiences from the times he was on the verge of death, as well as, he also received help from the ¡®Nine hidden Dragon Mark¡¯, otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to reach the Da Cheng level of a best grade martial skill in such a short time.
