Chapter 10: The Terrifying Old Man of the Half-Step Divine Spring Realm
Ling Tian looked at Qian Feng in the room, his gaze icy, and a murderous intent gradually arose in his heart. These two had always maintained an air of superiority, and their indifferent, nonchalant expressions made him extremely displeased. He glanced at the back mountain, where Yun Feiyang resided, and after some contemplation, he decided not to seek him out. Since he harbored thoughts of killing, Yun Feiyang would most likely come to stop him if he approached.
Speed?" Ling Tian scoffed, within sixty meters, he was invincible in terms of speed
Truly domineering
Hehe
Clap clap!
The door to Ling Tian's room was pushed open silently, and two figures entered the darkness.
Oh? Quite interesting
As Qian Feng's voice fell, the elder behind him suddenly moved, his figure resembling a whirlwind, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to Ling Tian's front.
Ling Tian still feels a shiver down his spine when he thinks about it now. Fortunately, that old man initially only had the mindset of teasing him; had he come at him with lethal intent from the start, he would likely be dead by now
Indeed, Junior Brother Ling Tian's strength is truly remarkable, and Qian Feng is in admiration. Once Junior Brother's injuries have healed, would it be possible for you to honor me with a visit to my residence
The sword energy was vast and boundless like white snow, the cold radiance pierced through the layers of clouds, and an endless stream of sword energy flew out from the sky, directly shooting towards Qian Feng and his companion who were fleeing at high speed
How is that possible
Each disciple who has just joined the Sword Sect receives one thousand merit points, which can be used to exchange for items on the roster. To obtain more merit points, it is necessary to complete certain sect tasks
"Senior Brother Yun, save me!"
Behind him, Qian Feng approached with a smile, clapping his hands. Yet, within that smile lay a hint of a chilling intent.
Yun Feiyang's expression was solemn, and Jiang Xinyue beside him also wore a grave look
The sound came quickly and left just as swiftly, as if it sensed that Ling Tian had noticed it, and soon vanished.
As the lights in the room illuminated, Ling Tian was able to see the faces of the two individuals clearly
The expression on Jiang Xinyue's face was serious as she spoke to Ling Tian: "Today, you humiliated him in front of all the disciples of the Sword Sect. With his narrow-mindedness, he will certainly not let this go easily. In my opinion, it would be better for your senior brother to stay here with you for the next few days"
Zhou Jie let out a cold snort, showing no intention to evade. His demeanor was as steady as a mountain, and with a powerful strike of his palm, a surging force erupted from his palm, slicing through the air like a sharp blade, heading straight towards Ling Tian.
Creak!
Ling Tian looked at Qian Feng, his right hand subtly resting on the sword at his waist
Ling Tian's heart sank, and he asked, "Is it possible for disciples within the sect to kill each other?"
This damned little beast
Ling Tian assessed the strength of the old man, feeling a surge of shock in his heart
Yun Feiyang was awakened by Ling Tian's cry for help. He immediately shouted loudly, and a massive sword light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire world
Moments later, the law enforcement elder Cangyuan arrived
It is not necessarily impossible
There is no need to visit.
Yun Feiyang approached Ling Tian and asked with concern
Ling Tian flipped through the roster and found that these cultivation methods were rather elementary, offering little utility to him. However, he was currently in need of elixirs and some weaponry.
Jiang Xinyue hurried over, deeply worried. Upon seeing that Ling Tian had not sustained any injuries, her anxious heart finally relaxed. Immediately, she said angrily: "Qian Feng is simply audacious and reckless, completely disregarding the rules of the sect. One disciple has already died at his hands, and he still dares to act. One day, I will make him pay the price!"
Qian Feng played with the cup on the table, propped his leg up casually, and said in a nonchalant tone: "It’s not that I must kill you; those who know how to adapt are the true heroes. If you are willing to ally with me, I will ensure that you enjoy endless wealth and honor."
With a resounding "clang," the Ling Tian long sword was drawn from its sheath, and the dazzling sword light was so bright that it left the onlookers unable to open their eyes
Half-step Divine Spring ah
Walking in front was a stooped old man with a handlebar mustache and a sharp, monkey-like face. This old man exuded a restrained aura, his presence as deep as the sea, with a glint of brilliance in his eyes, clearly indicating that he was a master. Following closely behind him was Qian Feng
Yun Feiyang shook his head, his gaze drifting as he recalled certain events, and spoke: "A long time ago, there was a disciple in the Sword Sect who was much like you. He offended Qian Feng, and as a result, he suffered retaliation that night, being found brutally murdered in his room. That night, many people heard the intense sounds of fighting coming from his room, but by the time everyone arrived, the disciple had already succumbed to his injuries. The sect master was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. However, someone behind Qian Feng intervened to suppress the matter, and it was simply brushed aside. Since that night, very few people within the sect dared to provoke Qian Feng again."
The old man muttered curses under his breath and, without saying a word, hurriedly took Qian Feng away from Ling Tian's residence
This Qian Feng has already killed a disciple of the Sword Sect once, and now he dares to act again. It is evident that he does not take the rules of the Sword Sect seriously at all. This time, he intends to cleanse the sect!
Ling Tian watched the two leave, and then immediately closed the door, beginning to refine the storage ring
Ling Tian donned the robe and took out the two books from within, studying them carefully
The elder struck again, his speed soaring to an unprecedented level, far surpassing that of earlier, with the airflow generated around him even breaking through the door frame
He closed the roster without hurrying to exchange items. The immediate priority is to recover from the injuries on his body as soon as possible
Yun Feiyang was filled with uncertainty, as he was astonished to find that his moves had not inflicted significant damage on the two who were retreating. This revelation shocked him greatly. The existence of a master at the half-step Divine Spring level hidden within the sect weighed heavily on his heart, instilling a sense of unease within him
Yun Feiyang and Jiang Xinyue stood up to take their leave
Of course not
You actually came!
Swish
Ling Tian moved, actively launching an attack. His figure vanished in an instant; such a short distance did not require the use of teleportation.
Determining the situation, Ling Tian decisively fled, not daring to engage with the old man any further, and quickly flew towards Yun Feiyang's residence. Regarding such strength, Ling Tian held no illusions; the old man could fail against him countless times, but only needed to succeed once for him to perish
A cold voice came from behind, and the old man felt a chill run down his back. Without a moment's hesitation, he turned around and struck with his palm.
Oh no
Such a vast realm of suppression renders all talents a mere joke, having no effect whatsoever
Having said that, Ling Tian said no more, turned around, and left, leaving Qian Feng behind with a gloomy expression.
The pinnacle of the carefree realm, breaking free from shackles, the state of half-step divine spring
Yun Feiyang informed Cang Yuan of the recent events. Upon hearing this, Cang Yuan spoke, "Do not make this matter public for now; you should act as if nothing has happened. I will go find the sect leader right away"
It is actually the Half-Step Divine Spring Realm! Retreat!
What happened
The storage ring is considered the most basic treasure, an essential item for practitioners, specifically designed for storing personal belongings
Ling Tianyun gathered his true energy and shouted loudly, his voice resonating like a great bell, echoing through the mountains
In an instant, chaos erupted as countless disciples of the Sword Sect rushed over in this direction
"Presumptuous, who dares to kill a disciple of the Sword Sect!"
Ling Tian remained calm and composed, continuing his meditation and cultivation, pretending as if he knew nothing. At this moment, his injuries had already healed, and if Qian Feng were to come and attempt to assassinate him, he was confident in his ability to handle it
What will you do then
One of these two books introduces the rules of the Sword Sect, while the other is a roster filled with various types of martial arts techniques, elixirs, weapons, and equipment, each accompanied by the required merit points for exchange
Ling Tian watched the two with a vigilant expression, his gaze scrutinizing them from top to bottom, especially the old man, who left him feeling perplexed and instilled a sense of fear in him
In Ling Tian's room, three people sat cross-legged. Yun Feiyang spoke up, saying: "Ling Tian, you have offended Qian Feng this time, and you will likely face considerable trouble in the future. Qian Feng is quite powerful, and his background is exceptional, far beyond your imagination. You need to be careful from now on."
Ling Tian cast a sidelong glance and let out a chuckle, saying: "You really think too highly of yourself, don't you? Do you believe you have me completely under your thumb? Also, have you ever heard of a cultivator who is interested in wealth and glory?"
Having said that, Cangyuan turned and left
Indeed, the old man missed again with this move. At this moment, he wore a look of disbelief, for just a moment ago, he had clearly seen his palm almost touching Ling Tian's face, yet in the next second, Ling Tian's figure had inexplicably vanished!
The old man missed with a palm strike, and a playful expression immediately appeared on his face. The mere strength of the Xiaoyao realm was actually able to escape from under his hand, it seems there is some skill involved
Zhou Jie widened his eyes, looking at Ling Tian in disbelief, feeling as if he were dreaming. However, the cold breath coming from his neck made him realize that this was real. In front of Ling Tian, he was utterly defenseless; even the heavily injured Ling Tian was more than capable of killing him in an instant.
Ling Tian gently shook his head and then said: "The ancient tomb of Honghuang is about to open, and the Sword Sect is filled with hidden talents. I must focus on my cultivation to ensure that I qualify when the time comes"
The old man saw Ling Tian fleeing and realized that the situation was dire; this journey was likely to end in failure. Ling Tian's ghostly-like agility eluded his grasp, and even though he was a powerful figure at the half-step Divine Spring level, he could not catch up, as he had not yet fully transcended the realm of freedom.
"Rely on you?"
You were not the least bit surprised by my arrival; it seems that Yun Feiyang has already informed you of everything.
Half-step Divine Spring Realm
Alright, take care of yourself. If you have any issues, contact me immediately; I will be on the hill behind.
Dare to be arrogant again, and I will slap you!
When the sword's brilliance faded, people were astonished to find that Ling Tian's long sword had somehow been placed against Zhou Jie’s neck. The entire process was swift and decisive, without the slightest hint of hesitation.
As Ling Tian immersed his consciousness into the storage ring, he discovered that its internal space was only the size of a room. It was empty inside, except for a few martial arts manuals that Ling Tian had just placed in, along with two books and several sets of robes belonging to the disciples of the Sword Sect
He was furious and, no longer using a gun, directly wielded his sword to attack. Although he had always used a gun in front of others, his true expertise lay in swordsmanship.
Ling Tian shouted angrily and instantly teleported outside the house
Since both of you are here, why act so secretively
Hmph
Old man, is it enjoyable? It's my turn!
... ...
Ling Tian smiled faintly and said nonchalantly, "The little ghost is difficult to deal with; one can evade the first day of the month but cannot escape the fifteenth. Brother Yun cannot stay here forever; he will eventually have the opportunity to make his move."
In no time, Ling Tian refined the ring, immediately placing several unparalleled martial arts manuals from his possession into it
You actually want to kill me
Jiang Xin Yue looked at Ling Tian with some concern; she did not want this newly joined disciple of the Sword Sect to meet an untimely death in his room on his very first day.
This move will see where you run to
At midnight, Ling Tian, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, was startled awake by a faint sound coming from the roof.
Where to escape!
"No problem," Ling Tian waved his hand and said, "He can't possibly resort to extreme measures against me over such a trivial matter."
However, he missed again
Qian Feng casually took a chair and sat down, his expression haughty and extremely arrogant, as if in his eyes, Ling Tian was already a dead man
Do not worry. Ling Tian pondered for a moment and then spoke: Once my injuries have healed, my strength will return to its original state. As for Qian Feng, I am not afraid of him; he cannot do anything to me.
How are you? Are you injured
