Chapter 7: The Blood Battle at Yunling Mountain

Ling Tian let out a loud shout, his aura surging dramatically, instantly breaking through Jin Lieyang's energy blockade, and then using the Xing Tian Dao to teleport out of thin air.

... ...

He swung his palm, and immediately the winds rose and clouds surged around him. A violent wave of air swept away sand and stones. In the void, a gigantic handprint appeared, and the powerful air currents sealed off the surrounding space, locking Ling Tian in the center.

Hehe

Cannot stay any longer

The celestial energy within Ling Tian attempted to break through this layer of armor, but to no avail. The moment the celestial energy touched the armor, it vanished as if a clay ox had entered the sea, completely assimilated! Ling Tian was taken aback; this armor, transformed from the ancestral dragon's energy, was indeed so extraordinary.

The speed of this energy wave is even faster than that of the Butterfly Demon, and its power is immense, instantly reducing the Butterfly Demon to powder!

If this move is hit, it is absolutely very dangerous

Having said that, Jin Lieyang stamped his foot forcefully, and the spaceship immediately began to transform, with cannon barrels extending from the hull, all aimed at Ling Tian

Ah, I really have no way to deal with you

Puff

Drink

Young Master, save me!

Ling Tian drew his long sword and, following the principles of the Zulong Classic, channeled the ancestral dragon energy within him to attach it to the sword. Instantly, the cold long sword was enveloped in a layer of murky aura, and a faint dragon's roar echoed, emanating a chilling presence that stirred the heart.

Conceal your tedious tricks; I am well aware of what you are thinking in your heart

Ling Tian was fully focused, carefully observing this minuscule ancestral dragon aura. He discovered that although this ancestral dragon aura was only three feet long, the aura it emitted was akin to that of a primordial ferocious beast, making one dare not underestimate it. Surrounding the ancestral dragon aura was a faint halo, almost imperceptible, enveloping it. This halo rippled like water waves, layer upon layer, dispersing the murky energy of the vortex, evoking a sense of emerging from the mud without being stained.

If it were not for the protection of the ancestral dragon's aura, this strike would likely have pierced through his body, causing him to die on the spot. Nevertheless, even so, Ling Tian paid a terrible price.

A dense barrage of sword and blade energy surged from the spaceship, precisely as Chen Tianhe and his companions made their move

A cruel smile appeared on Jin Lieyang's face as a rumbling sound echoed.

It turns out to be the young master of the Qi Sect.

Ling Tian inhaled sharply, realizing that Jin Lieyang truly deserved to be the young master of the Qi Sect. Just this one move indicated that his strength had likely already reached the pinnacle of the Xiaoyao Realm, surpassing his own by a significant margin

Although it may seem distant to speak of these matters now, as long as one diligently practices according to the methods of the Ancestor Dragon Scripture, that day will eventually arrive. Ling Tian feels hopeful about the road ahead

A tremendous sound of impact echoed as Ling Tian's Sword Two collided with Jin Lieyang's sword formation

These two individuals are disciples who have emerged from the Sword Sect. They originally planned to return to their sect today, but unexpectedly heard the distant sound of cannon fire.

Hiss ~

He was overjoyed and tried the ancestral dragon energy several more times, until his mind and spirit were exhausted, and finally he waved his hand.

When faced with rejection, Jin Lieyang remained unperturbed and continued, "Cultivating the path is to go against the heavens and change one's fate. Without a master to guide you, it is difficult to find a way out. You have no background, no resources, and no connections. If you do not choose a sect to rely on, you will surely fade into obscurity in the future"

Beside her stood a young man dressed in a moon-white long robe, whose demeanor was as refined as jade and whose appearance was extraordinary. His eyes were deep and profound like the starry sky. Holding a long spear, he stood there with a restrained sharpness, his aura deep and profound like the ocean, his expression calm and composed, instilling a sense of security in those around him

However, it was this faint earthy yellow aura that made Jin Lieyang's heart feel a sense of palpitating breath

Standing at the bow of the ship were none other than Jin Lieyang and a few others

Under the influence of Ling Tian's spirit, the ancestral dragon's energy gradually began to respond, moving in accordance with Ling Tian's control

In the distant deep mountains, a stunningly beautiful young girl said to the man beside her

The light of a candle foolishly competes with the brilliance of the sun and moon

Ling Tian's heart was filled with trepidation as he looked up. The enormous handprint descended with great force, accompanied by a violent wave of energy, resembling a fierce tide.

Ling Tian was taken aback and immediately activated his teleportation to leave the spaceship. He had already witnessed the power of this spaceship earlier, and now being targeted by these several cannons made him feel a chill run down his spine

Ling Tian was overjoyed, and then he retracted his long sword. He began to mobilize the aura of the ancestral dragon according to the mental techniques of the Ancestral Dragon Scripture, transforming it into armor to envelop himself.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianhe and the others immediately displayed expressions of excitement and decisively took action. Just moments ago, they had been frightened pale by Ling Tian, but now that an opportunity for revenge had presented itself, how could they let it slip away easily

Hahaha, it truly is a case of searching high and low only to find it effortlessly. This useless person has been hiding for so many days; I thought he had been eaten by the monsters of Yunling Mountain. Now that he has finally shown himself, let us go and meet him

This tremendous commotion has attracted attention from afar

Ling Tian shook his head, glanced at Chen Tianhe and the others on the spaceship, then looked towards Jin Lieyang, and continued, "Although I have no intention of being enemies with the Qi Sect, it does not mean that I am afraid. My Ling family has been annihilated, and I am already a worthless life. I have long sworn to repay blood debts with blood. Whoever dares to provoke me will surely pay a bloody price."

It is too late to run now

Indeed, what brings you here

He actually intends to strike Ling Tian dead with a single palm

With a furious shout, Jin Lieyang stamped his left foot forcefully. Instantly, the array emitted a brilliant radiance, and an endless stream of sword energy surged forth from the array beneath his feet

The long sword was drawn, and Ling Tian took the initiative to launch an attack

Ling Tian hurriedly dodged, only to hear a loud bang as the spot where he had just been standing was pierced through, creating a large crater

This butterfly demon is a type of demon beast found in Yunling Mountain, known for its astonishing speed. With a single flash, it can appear hundreds of miles away, more terrifying than Ling Tian's instantaneous movement

The Zhao Yuejiao behind him spoke: "This is my Qi Sect's young master, Jin Lieyang. To die at his hands is also considered an honor for you. You should quickly take your own life."

Ling Tian began to retreat, his figure continuously shifting as he fled into the distance

With just one strike, Ling Tian was severely injured

With a swing of the Ling Tian Sword, the sword light pierced through the air, and a rumbling sound echoed from afar. Countless towering ancient trees, fragile as thin paper, fell one after another. This power is truly terrifying.

Having spoken, Ling Tian erupted with a chilling aura of killing intent, and then leaped into the air, heading straight for Chen Tianhe and the others on the spaceship

In the blink of an eye, he discovered that Ling Tian had already arrived on his ship, as if he had teleported there. Such an incredible method was something he had never heard of before; even some of the elders in his sect did not possess such abilities.

You are skilled with a sword, so I shall use a sword to kill you

Hmph, daring to act recklessly even in the mid-stage of the Carefree Realm!

Where to run!

Jin Lieyang looked down from a high position, exuding an air of superiority, completely disregarding Ling Tian.

Jin Lieyang's expression was icy, and a deep greed flashed in the depths of his eyes

It seems I have underestimated you. You possess considerable talent. In my opinion, it would be best for us to cease here. How about I personally take you into my sect?

However, Ling Tian came with a mindset of certain kill. He wielded his long sword, the ancestral dragon's energy surged, and the boundless sword aura poured forth like a torrential storm, all directed towards Chen Tianhe and the others on the spaceship

Early the next morning, Ling Tian set out on his journey, continuing his arduous path of cultivation. As he traveled, he practiced his skills, becoming increasingly frenzied, yet his strength was continuously on the rise

Under such a complex barrage of attacks, Ling Tian finally began to struggle to hold on. In a moment of carelessness, he was struck in the lower abdomen by an energy beam, causing his dantian to suffer another severe blow

Upon witnessing this scene, Ling Tian's pupils suddenly constricted. He immediately looked up, only to see a massive spaceship descending, blocking out the sun.

Ling Tian's expression remained calm. Upon seeing Chen Tianhe and a few others behind Jin Lieyang, he already knew that the visitors were not here with good intentions, and it seemed that a tough battle was about to ensue

Ling Tian let out a furious roar, leaping into the air. He then reversed the long sword in his hand, resembling a hanging galaxy. In an instant, a vast expanse of white sword energy illuminated all directions. Ling Tian, wielding the long sword, dove downwards, directly targeting the golden blazing sun below.

Sun Feihu and Chen Tianhe, standing nearby, also wore sinister smiles as they mockingly gazed at Ling Tian

Jin Lieyang sensed the situation was unfavorable, leaped into the air, and escaped.

Zhao Yuejiao was taken aback, her beautiful face drained of color from fright. Sun Feihu and Chen Tianhe beside her were equally terrified; they could hardly believe that Ling Tian had the audacity to attempt to kill them right in front of Jin Lieyang.

Damn it, the foundation of the major sects is indeed profound, to the extent that they even possess such ghostly things!

Are you Ling Tian

Along the way, the sound of cannon fire roared, massive rocks shattered, and countless towering ancient trees were reduced to powder at the speed of energy. One scorched pit after another appeared on the ground

Behind him, Jin Lieyang relentlessly pursued in his spacecraft, continuously firing energy beams.

According to the records in the Ancestral Dragon Classic, the essence of the Ancestral Dragon possesses myriad mystical methods, capable of transforming into a lethal weapon for vanquishing foes, as well as into armor for self-protection. As one's cultivation improves, the essence of the Ancestral Dragon can also evolve, and even undergo metamorphosis, transforming into an inner dragon deity, endowed with unpredictable means.

In an instant, an infinite surge of sword energy erupted, rippling like water waves, shooting in all directions.

Hmph

Several cannons on the spacecraft simultaneously emitted a heart-pounding glow, followed closely by several thick energy beams shooting out, directly striking Ling Tian

Senior brother, do you hear that? It sounds like the cannon fire from the Cloud-Piercing Ship

Meanwhile, Jin Lieyang and his companions were continuously searching in the skies above Yunling Mountain aboard the air sect's spaceship

Jin Lieyang looked at Ling Tian with a mocking expression and said: "I do not need to know what happened, nor do I wish to know. A mere ant like you, having offended a disciple of the Qi Sect, must die."

Jin Lieyang's eyes gleamed with a cold light as he stood on the spaceship, controlling several cannons while simultaneously commanding Chen Tianhe and others to launch a long-range attack on Ling Tian

Do you know the ins and outs of this matter

Jin Lieyang's expression was one of disdain; he remained motionless, swiftly forming hand seals with both hands. Suddenly, a massive array pattern appeared beneath his feet, centered around him.

Upon hearing this, the man could only nod helplessly.

Just as Ling Tian was about to make his move, he suddenly heard a massive shadow appear above him. Immediately after, a tremendous wave of energy shot down from the sky, directly striking the Butterfly Demon.

In the distance, Jin Lieyang said this

Indeed, it is a fortunate opportunity that has been obtained

Ling Tian muttered curses under his breath, constantly evading.

Ling Tian closed his eyes to carefully sense the changes in his body, which was enveloped by a layer of earthy yellow aura. Within this aura, faint sounds of dragon roars could be heard.

Ling Tian felt a chill run down his spine, but before he could react, several energy beams shot through the air from a distance. This time, it was not a concentrated attack, but rather a barrage of artillery fire

It is precisely for this reason that Ling Tian suffered considerable losses during his battle with the Butterfly Demon

Jin Lieyang was enraged and immediately took action

Boom

In the distance, Ling Tian also stood firmly.

Leisurely clouds and wild cranes drift without a fixed destination, where in the vast sky and rivers can one not soar? In this expansive world, with my exceptional talent that surpasses the heavens, what is there to worry about in finding a suitable sect?

The young girl tightly clasped her small hands, making a pleading gesture towards her senior beside her, her big eyes blinking adorably, truly charming

It is surprisingly effective

Swish!

You talk too much

Let's see how long you can hold on

Jin Lieyang laughed heartily and then piloted the spaceship into a dive.

Kneel down, abandon your cultivation, hand over everything you possess, and I may consider granting you a quicker death

How dare you

Jin Lieyang struck the air with a palm, and a massive deep pit appeared at the very spot where Ling Tian had just been standing

Ling Tian cast a glance at Chen Tianhe and the others on the spaceship, the cold murderous intent in his eyes was unmistakable, instilling fear in those who beheld it. Chen Tianhe and his companions could not help but feel a chill run down their spines, prompting them to act even more frantically.

Let us go and see if it is good

In the cave, Ling Tian sat cross-legged, quietly sensing the changes of the ancestral dragon energy within his body

The young girl wore a form-fitting purple long dress that accentuated her exquisite curves, her appearance was ethereal and otherworldly, resembling a celestial being. Her face featured two small dimples, which made her look even more charming and adorable

The ancestral dragon's aura was slightly shaken by Ling Tian's mental perception, and then it fell silent.

Ling Tian was not deceived and then spoke: "Although your Qi Sect is a colossal entity, I, Ling Tian, am all alone and not afraid at all"

Sword Three

Ling Tian felt a stir in his heart, merging his mind into it, attempting to control the ancestral dragon energy

Finally, on the fourteenth day of their journey into the Yunling Mountains, Jin Lieyang and his companions discovered the traces of Ling Tian

At this moment, Jin Lieyang finally arrived. He struck out with a palm, shattering the remaining sword energy, and then glared at Ling Tian with a dark expression, saying: "Very well, very well. I have kindly invited you to join my Qi Sect, but you refused to listen. Yet you dare to directly storm onto my ship to kill. If I do not kill you today, what face will my Qi Sect have left"

Ling Tian sneered coldly in his heart; how could he possibly believe Jin Lieyang's nonsense? Just now, the greed in Jin Lieyang's eyes had been fully captured by him. If he were to join the Qi Sect with him, would he still have a good ending?

Jin Lieyang's expression was indifferent as he continued to strike. Today, he vowed to completely eliminate Ling Tian

In the confrontation with Ling Tian, he has already understood that Ling Tian's strength is not something that Chen Tianhe and the others can withstand. If Ling Tian were to kill Chen Tianhe and the others in front of him, would he not lose all face

A cold voice from Ling Tian reached my ears, and I saw him descending from the sky, sword in hand. On the icy long sword, there was a faint layer of earthy yellow aura attached, emanating a dim, cold light

From now on, with this ancestral dragon energy, he will have a trump card for preserving his life

At this moment, Ling Tian is engaged in battle with a butterfly demon, bearing some minor injuries, but nothing serious

However, Ling Tian was not afraid. Although he only possessed the strength of the mid-stage of the Xiaoyao Realm, he had now cultivated the Ancestor Dragon Qi, and he was confident enough to defeat Jin Lieyang

Sword Two

swish

Ling Tian cast a sidelong glance, still hoping to strive for it, although this was rather unlikely

A few useless people! Jin Lieyang muttered under his breath, yet he had no way to deal with it. He had done everything he could, but unfortunately, Ling Tian's speed was so fast that it felt unreal

Jin Lieyang's expression was indifferent, as if he were looking at a dead dog.

The fierce sword energy swept through like a whirlwind, and in almost an instant, varying degrees of injuries appeared on their bodies. The sharp sword energy ruthlessly sliced through their skin, leaving them drenched in blood, their clothes torn to shreds by the sword energy.

At this moment, his dantian was in a state of chaos, with his qi sea transforming into a black vortex. Within that vortex, a dragon-shaped true qi, approximately three feet long, was quietly wandering. This was the ancestral dragon qi that Ling Tian had comprehended during battle

Having spoken, Jin Lieyang leaped down and directly took action

Ling Tian murmured to himself. He looked up at the blazing sun, feeling a surge of conflict within. Originally, he had no intention of provoking the Qi Sect. However, seeing the arrogant demeanor of the blazing sun, it seemed he had little choice in the matter

Boom

On the spacecraft, Chen Tianhe and a few others were almost exerting all their strength to withstand Ling Tian's blade storm
