Chapter 54: The Summit of Daily Increasing, Shura En!
Rumble——
A huge ball of light, shattered in mid-air, a thousand arrows of light flowing, transformed into countless sharp blades, sword energy like a rainbow, spearhead pointing directly at Li Tianyi, rushing towards him!
Under the "dare" arena, everyone was so scared that they trampled on each other, some even fell to the ground and broke out in a cold sweat.
That's the Sword Saint of the Eastern Kingdom, now a 2nd-grade title Saint, an old powerhouse. Ling Wushuang is too bold, to sneak up on him without making a sound, only she can do such a thing!
Ling Qingtian and Ji Yuyang were stunned on the spot, unsure of how to react. Nan Gongyan's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly clenched his fists. This woman was truly audacious! Yun Qincheng's folding fan quivered in her hand, and with her already pale face, she almost fell off her chair.
This situation, Tianjie challenges Shengjie?
"Boom——"
A flash of knife light, a shadow of sword, flying horizontally and approaching.
"Presumptuous child!" Li Tian's eyes flashed with venom as he raised his hand, and a pale green protective aura burst forth, causing the gray robes to billow in the air. In front of him, an invisible light shield materialized, bearing a faint shallow green color, like a gigantic cocoon of light that enveloped him at its center.
"Ding ding ding ding"
Ling Wushuang's attack, although unexpected, was followed by a series of swift and sharp sword strikes that clanged against the protective aura, emitting a crisp ringing sound. The pale green light shield formed by the protective aura was like a giant eggshell, within which Li Tianyi stood with his hands behind his back, completely unscathed!
"The Saint Stage is indeed formidable." Ling Wu's eyes slightly narrowed, it seemed that her strength was still insufficient. Even if she used a Heaven Stage technique, she couldn't harm Li Tianyi, and his protective Xuanqi couldn't be broken through either.
This is the gap between the Sacred and Heavenly Ranks. An attack that could severely injure Li Mei'er was unable to cause any harm to Li Tianyi.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the heavens' height and the earth's thickness." Li Tian raised his hand and with a swift flick of his sleeve, effortlessly dispersed Ling Wusong's attack. He coldly shouted: "Presumptuous whelp, you secretly learned the Li family's mysterious techniques, your crime deserves punishment! Today, I will definitely execute you on the spot to demonstrate the prestige of the Guardian General Manor!"
He was unable to find an opportunity, and unexpectedly, Ling Wushuang was so foolish that he provoked him on the street, "Say it, do you choose to kill yourself or want me to take action?"
If this arrogant child is not put to death, the great Eastern Sword Saint will be unable to establish his authority in the world. Even if Ling Tianzi were here, what could he do? The gap between a first-rank saint and him is an insurmountable chasm that cannot be bridged!
"It's too shameless, having lost the battle of life and death, you not only want to shirk responsibility but also find such an excuse to kill people and silence them, and destroy a genius."
"Moreover, still secretly learn? How ridiculous! Others are obviously learning openly and properly!"
"Right, this is Li Mei's own handwriting, can't let people see it?"
……
The people below heard Li Tianyi's words, although they didn't dare to speak out loud on the surface, but they lowered their voices and discussed it, all saying that Sword Saint Li Tianyi was despicable and shameless, and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals, extremely treacherous. Today, seeing him in person, he truly lived up to his reputation.
It's indeed true that if a person has no shame, then they are unbeatable. I wonder what kind of means he used to gain such power.
"Li Tianyi, you shameless old scoundrel!" Ling Jian Tian's face was as fierce as a fighting bull, his whiskers bristling, his sleeves fluttering as he strode forward in great strides towards Li Tianyi, who was not far away. He bellowed: "Do you think I'm dead? You still dare to bully Wu Shuang in front of me! Come here, come here, and let's see what skills you have!"
"Ling Tian, you are just an ignorant and arrogant man" Li Tian sneered, his aged eyes gleaming with a poisonous light, "If you continue to spout nonsense, I'll kill you along with him"
"Big words aren't shameful, this is all thanks to you, this old immortal, if you have the ability then speak again." Ling Qing Tian retorted with one sentence.
"Boom——"
As they spoke, Old Man Ling took a step forward, his entire body radiating an aura of mystery, his presence as majestic as a towering mountain, and he was actually on par with Li Tianyi. With his irascible temper and dignified expression, he even seemed to be suppressing Li Tianyi slightly!
"What? Old Man Ling is also a Second-Order Saint!"
"This can't be right, how is this possible?"
Everyone is unbelievable, Leng Laozi just broke through the Holy Stage a few days ago, how can he jump two stages in a row? He has reached the second-grade title of Saint.
As expected, the people of the Ling family are not normal, and can't be judged by common sense! Looking at Old Man Ling's protective appearance, whoever dares to move against Ling Wushuang will be beaten into a meat pie in just a few moves.
The little one has just started, the old one is facing each other again. Li Tianyi and Ling Qiantian, two title saints, are fighting. This is going to be a good show. Wait, isn't this too dangerous? Shouldn't they retreat further?
"Ling Tian, you've broken through to the Second Order of the Sacred Realm!" Li Tian's face turned somewhat unsightly as he was about to make a move, his heart filled with some apprehension and incredulity: "How is this possible?"
In just a few short days, how could Ling Tian possibly break through? Was it by using some secret method to temporarily boost his power?
"It's impossible" Li Tianyi's aged eyes scrutinized Ling Qingtian carefully, but he couldn't have imagined that one of Ling Wushuang's Sacred Origin Pills could raise Old Man Ling by a rank in just a few days.
Authentic and genuine, a true second-class title holder of the Saint!
"Hmph" Ling Tian coldly snorted, his white beard quivering as he opened his mouth to mock: "You think that just because you're old and won't die, you can be promoted?"
The people around couldn't help but snicker, didn't Old Man Ling just say the same thing? Li Mei was promoted one rank, and Ling Wushuang immediately followed with a promotion of over ten ranks. Li Tianyi spent over a decade to get promoted one rank, yet Old Man Ling's one-rank promotion took only a few dozen days.
This old and young pair are really not from the same family, they don't enter the same household, it's as if they want to infuriate people to death.
"Don't be too pleased with yourself, Ling Tianyi." Li Tianyi was angry, but also had some reservations, and didn't dare to act rashly. His tone was gloomy as he reminded them: "Think carefully about the situation your family is in, don't lose sight of the bigger picture because of a small gain, you might end up losing everything. The Guardian General's residence isn't someone to be trifled with."
Ling Tian broke through the holy stage, now the four major families, Jiang, Yun, Ji, and three families, have a tendency to join forces. If at this critical moment, add the participation of the Guardian House, the situation of the Ling family will be really worrying. After all, the current Ling family's reserve power is not good, and Ling Tian is also hard to fight against four hands with two fists. Li Tianyi is using the entire Ling family as a threat at this time.
Who would have thought that Ling Tian didn't put Li Tianyi in his eyes at all, and he was another violent temper. As soon as his temper came up, he opened his mouth and shouted: "I care about the Hu Guo Fu or the Huo Guo Fu, who dares to bully Wú Shuāng in front of me, Lao Touzi will destroy whoever!"
If you give Old Man Ling a kitchen knife, he'll probably sharpen it and rush straight at Li Tianyi to slaughter him.
"Li Tian's face turned slightly dark, gritting his teeth in silence. How could Ling Tian be so stubborn and unyielding!"
"Ling Wushuang secretly learned the Xuanji secret technique of our country's protector, his crime is punishable by death. No matter what, Ling Wushuang must die today, even if you are Ling Qingtian, you can't stop me!" Li Tianyi grasped this point with all his might and wouldn't let go.
Ling Wu's eyes seemed to be gazing into the distance, as if she hadn't heard Li Tianyi's words at all. She looked like a carefree person, her slender fingers stroking her chin, still pondering the previous question. In a low voice, she muttered: "Can't the Sacred Stage's protective aura really be broken?"
Suddenly, Ling Wu's eyes gleamed brightly as she stared at Li Tian, her gaze circling around the faint green protective aura surrounding his body. The corners of her mouth curled up into a subtle, eerie smile, and her eyes flickered with a hint of excitement, "I've got it."
Ling Wushuang turned his head and glanced at Ling Qingtian and Ling Moqiu, secretly signaling them to back away a bit.
"Father," Ling Mo's eyes sparkled as he reached out to tug at Ling Jing Tian's sleeve. Ling Jing Tian looked puzzled, but when he saw Ling Wu Shuang making faces at him, he glared at her and swished his sleeves, retreating in a huff.
Li Tianyi was taken aback and hadn't figured out what was going on when he heard a cold shout in his ear, "Li Tianyi, look here!"
Ling Wushuang's tone was like saying, Li Tianyi, stick your face here and let me punch it, the more you owe, the more you'll be punched.
"Cheers!" Ling Wu Xiang's figure suddenly leaped into the air, his hands supporting the sky. His slender fingers rapidly pinched and activated the Flying Rain Flowing Star Xuan Technique Seal. A deep yellow Xuan energy wildly rose up, "Try this on for size!"
A cool and casual tone, as if saying "try this thing out and see how it tastes".
"What the hell" Li Tian's forehead wrinkles could pinch a soybean, his white eyebrows furrowed fiercely and he sneered: "Making empty boasts, an arrogant little beast who doesn't know its own strength"
Everyone was also puzzled, was Ling Wu Shuang trying to reuse his old trick? However, the Wind and Rain Flowing Star technique, although a Heavenly Tier skill, had an astonishing power, but with Ling Wu Shuang's current strength, he couldn't even hurt Li Tian Yi, a Saint Tier expert, hadn't they just tried it out a moment ago, why try again.
Ling Wushuang's red lips curled up, a strange smile appeared, and suddenly, threads of fiery light, like red threads, thousands of strands, surged and boiled, gathering towards the huge light ball on her head!
Gradually, the light ball held up by Ling Wushuang's two hands had more and more red light, finally, the pale yellow crystal light ball was like being dyed with red ink, shining brightly like a agate!
"Get back, all of you!" Ling Wusuo shouted coldly at the surroundings. Beads of sweat were faintly visible on his pale forehead, as if a scorching sun was hanging above his head, and his words were somewhat strained. "I don't dare guarantee that I can completely control it."
"Whoosh——"
The crowd retreated in unison, and a group of people who were closer together rolled and crawled away, scattering like birds and beasts.
"Fly—Fire—Flow—Star—"
A cold voice, word by word, flowed out of the red lips, making the people around her shiver involuntarily. Li Mei's technique was Flying Rain and Shooting Stars, but what was this Flying Fire and Shooting Stars of Ling Wusuo? And that flowing red light, could it be fire?
"Boom!"
A huge red light ball, like a mountain, was thrown out by Ling Wu Shuang with a flick of his hand.
"Boom——"
A deafening roar shook the sky, emitting a frenzied howl like a mountain flood, as the fiery red orb was struck by Ling Wu Shuang and shattered in mid-air with a loud crash, transforming into a rain of arrows that rotated and departed, each one surrounded by an eerie crimson glow.
"Li Tianyi, a freshly baked self-created technique, try it out first!" Ling Wushuang said, and with a swift movement, he slipped away from the periphery of the exploding light ball, fleeing faster than a loach.
"It's just a small trick" Feeling the eerie red light, Li Tian's brow slightly twitched a few times, but he didn't pay much attention to it. His sleeve fluttered, and with a gentle wave of his hand, a protective aura emerged, like a light curtain unfolding, "Go".
He's really overestimating himself. A small Tianxuan who just broke through, what kind of waves can he stir up? He actually dares to try and harm him, it's simply courting death.
"Heh heh——"
The sound of swords and sabers tearing through the air suddenly appeared, with one after another of mysterious sword shadows coming in succession, carrying a mysterious flame that stabbed onto the protective Xuanqi on Li Tian's body. Like water and fire colliding, it emitted a hissing explosive roar, spewing out wisps of yellow smoke.
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, an unbelievable scene occurred, sharp arrowheads and knife lights struck the green light shield one after another, finally with a "hiss" sound, the green light shield was pierced through like thin paper!
One after another, crimson sword lights burst forth like a mountain flood, surging forward as if entering an uninhabited territory. In just a few moves, the green mysterious energy light screen shattered like glass fragments and was completely engulfed in an instant!
"How could this be?" Li Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyebrows furrowed heavily. What was this red glow? It seemed so strange and eerie. He thought for a moment before saying, "Could it be fire?"
As he spoke, his sleeves fluttered, yet his posture was remarkably elegant. He seemed to be in a state of ease and composure, unhurried and unruffled, as if he could strike out at will, even if the protective aura around him were shattered, it seemed he didn't take these things seriously.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Li Tianyi let out an unbelievable mournful cry, his eyes were wide with fear, and the sleeve of his robe that he had brushed off was stained with flames. Under his suppression, not only did it not extinguish, but instead, it spread rapidly through his clothes, like a swarm of hot insects, scorching pain, piercing to the bone, burning his skin!
Rumble
A massive shockwave echoed through the air, followed by a red glow and sword shadows that descended heavily on Li Tian. Amidst the shattered stones and splintered wood, dust swirled and churned, surrounded by a sea of flames. Vision blurred, but in the midst of the firelight, a figure could be faintly seen, darting back and forth with swift evasions.
"Ah ah" Those around who didn't retreat in time were affected by the scattered sparks of fire, even Tian Xuan was rolling on the ground in pain.
"What are you looking at?" Ling Wusuo rolled back several times, retreating to Ji Yunyang's side, being stared at by him with a straight face, his mouth twitching slightly as he said somewhat awkwardly: "It's not very proficient yet, I've said it before, I don't dare guarantee that I can control it"
"Y-y-you..." Ji Yun pointed at Ling Wu, she was speechless for half a day, and didn't know what to say. She had actually made the great Sword Saint look like a monkey, jumping around in front of everyone.
"My goodness, this power..." The crowd was speechless, as if they could all hear the sound of their own hearts pounding, and for a moment, they didn't know what words to use to describe the shock in their minds. This Ling Wu Shuang had actually created such a powerful technique on the spot, it was truly unbelievable.
Before long, the dust dispersed, and Li Tianyi's figure finally emerged.
"Ah——"
Everyone's body shook with laughter, but somehow they couldn't laugh out loud.
All that was visible was Li Tianyi standing amidst a sea of flames and shattered rocks, his grey-white Taoist robes charred and tattered, hanging off him in shreds, with more holes than a beggar's clothes. His face was as black as coal, his chin smooth and shiny, and the inch-long whiskers on his chin had been burned away by Ling Wushuang, leaving not a single hair behind.
His face was as black as ink, his muscles twitching and trembling, yet he looked gloomy and terrifying, as if he were about to drip out black water.
"My goodness"
In the Eastern Country, the mighty Sword Saint, who was once revered as a hero by all, had become a laughing stock. Some people covered their mouths with their hands, their bodies shaking like sieves, but they didn't dare laugh out loud. At this moment, no one dared to look at him.
"Nothing happened after all." Ling Wu Xuan retreated far away, somewhat disappointed. A Saint Realm expert was indeed not easy to deal with. Such a huge power had only caused a flesh wound.
"Is this still considered nothing?" The people around, hearing these words, suddenly wanted to faint on the spot. Ling Wu Xuan, with a single punch, had turned Li Tian Yi, who was supposed to be a saint, into this state. If it weren't for eyewitnesses, who would believe it? If you told anyone else, even an idiot would call you stupid!
Everyone's expression was so rich and colorful that they almost cried out loud. My little ancestor, this is still considered nothing, then what would be considered something?
"Wow!" Ji Yunyang was stunned for half a day before finally reacting. Wú Shuāng, this guy, is simply too cool!
At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. The unparalleled insight is really too terrifying. Not to mention the genius who can learn and master skills on the spot, being fearless against powerful enemies, adapting quickly, this is what's most terrifying. In such a short period of time, he was actually able to create his own technique, his mind is sharp to the point of being astonishing!
Peerless, with an unyielding strong will to never give up, she has such strength, not coming out of thin air, can't help but admit, he is no match for her.
"Ruthless" Li Tian's eyes were like a fish's, tightly locked onto Ling Wu Shuang. His vicious gaze was like that of a venomous snake, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "You're... looking... for... death."
When speaking, Li Tian's mouth would occasionally emit black smoke, and his entire body was covered in it, except for his white teeth, making him look extremely comical. As a Saint-level expert, when had he ever suffered such a huge loss? Moreover, it was at the hands of a junior.
The anger in my heart surges up like a raging river, bursting forth with crazy intensity after a deathly silence!
"Take your life!" A loud roar to the sky, Li Tian moved, a sudden and abrupt shout, his body twisted and distorted, in the blink of an eye he was in front of Ling Wu Shuang, his skull-like palm, with a terrifying aura, reached out towards Ling Wu Shuang's most vulnerable neck!
"Invincible, dodge!" The opposite Ling Qingtian shouted urgently, his whole body shook, and he quickly chased after Li Tianyi from behind, intercepting him.
For Li Tianyi, Ling Wushuang did not dare to underestimate him, had long been paying attention, and hastily dodged to the side, avoiding a head-on confrontation with him.
Just now, Ling Wu Shuang was able to gain such a great advantage, an important point is that Li Tianyi underestimated the enemy. If he had been cautious from the start, he would not have ended up in such a sorry state. After all, there is a substantial gap between the Holy Rank and the Heavenly Rank, which is difficult to overcome.
Ling Wushuang and Li Meier's battle, plus the final blow just now, mobilized a large amount of Chaotic Fire, consuming not a small amount of spiritual power, even she was somewhat overwhelmed.
She's not stupid, at this time, only an idiot would confront Li Tian.
"Go to hell!" Ling Wusuo barely dodged an attack, and Li Tian launched a series of attacks in quick succession, chasing closely behind. In his hand, a blue long sword appeared out of nowhere at some point, and at the same time, his aura burst forth, releasing the pressure of a Saint-level expert, with a speed that was frightening to the extreme.
Under the pressure of Shengjie, Ling Wushuang dodged and weaved with some difficulty, her movements slowing down significantly. In the blink of an eye, several attacks were launched, always just a hair's breadth away from hitting her, causing onlookers to gasp in shock, hardly daring to breathe.
"You play slowly, this girl won't accompany you anymore" Ling Wu Xuan had just left, making some space, and actually lightly laughed once, her foot stepped down, the figure under her feet jumped up, jumping to mid-air, a red glow emerged from behind her back.
"Want to escape?" Li Tianyi was somewhat perplexed, but he shouted fiercely: "You little beast, you must leave your life here today!"
"Ah——"
Li Tian let out a loud roar, and the sound waves alone shook the people around him who were still shallow in strength, causing them to fall to the ground and wail in pain. Ling Wu Shuang hooked her lips into a light smile, and a red glow suddenly appeared behind her back. She wanted to leave, but Li Tian couldn't keep her from doing so.
"Tiger's Roar from All Directions"
A terrifying air wave rushed towards Ling Wu Shuang who had just stepped into mid-air, the gale cutting through the sky and rolling away.
"Li Tianyi, you dare!" A voice, clear and pleasant to the ear, yet like a bomb, exploded loudly in Li Tianyi's mind.
His eardrums throbbed, the man's angry voice shook Li Tian into a daze, half of his blows were ineffective and dissipated into thin air, scattering with the wind.
"Teacher!?" Ling Wu Xuan was about to leave, with the Fire Wings still unformed behind him, when he heard this familiar voice. He immediately retracted his thoughts and flipped several times in mid-air before landing on both feet.
The action is neat and efficient, without a single departure from the water, exceptionally beautiful.
In a fit of anger, Ling Tian was about to fight Li Tianyi when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His heart, which had been racing with anticipation, slowly calmed down as well. There was only one person in Donglin who could command such presence.
"Li Tianyi, you have a big nerve!" A figure in sky blue appeared, stepping forward with an seemingly slow pace, but in the blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of Ling Wushuang, leaving behind a row of slender residual shadows that vanished instantly.
"It's about time someone put an end to Li Tianyi's arrogant behavior"
"In Donglin, it seems that only Tianye Daren can control this old man with just one sentence."
"Remember, Ling Wusong is the personal disciple of Tianye, and now that Tianye has returned, let's see how Li Tianyi dares to be arrogant."
……
The people around looked at the figure clearly and started whispering to each other in a low voice.
"Tian Ye Yun" Li Tian raised his eyes, staring tightly at the figure in the sky-blue Taoist robe, gritting his teeth and saying: "It's you again."
It's a pity, just a little bit short, he could have killed that little beast, but unfortunately, if it wasn't for Tianye Yun protecting Ling Wushuang, he wouldn't have waited until today to make his move. But unexpectedly, now that things have come to this, Tianye Yun has intervened again!
It's really outrageous!
The teacher's eyes sparkled brightly, and he smiled slightly.
"Little girl, what are you doing?" Tian Ye looked at Ling Wu Shuang who was covered in dust, his eyes had a hint of doting, and his words seemed somewhat helpless. He had just left for a few days, and this little girl could really stir up trouble, how did she end up fighting with Li Tian Yi?
"Nothing, nothing." Ling Wu Shuang waved his hand and glanced at Li Tianyi's face as black as charcoal. He chuckled twice and shamelessly laughed: "It's just this old man, he's getting older, his temper is too hot, can't take a fright."
“……”
The surroundings were stunned, this little ancestor, got a good deal and sold it cleverly, these words were said, simply making people applaud and cheer.
"You" with a smile as clear and shallow as the clouds at dawn, every gesture elegant and noble, yet this little girl has a belly full of evil intentions.
Li Tianyi's old face turned red and black with rage, looking quite comical. Having suffered such humiliation at the hands of Ling Wushuang, even if Tianye Yun were present, he couldn't swallow this insult. Gnashing his teeth, he said: "Tianye Yun, don't be too arrogant! You know about Ling Wushuang injuring Minghui, and now she's severely injured Mei'er again, openly provoking the dignity of our sect. What can be tolerated, what cannot? Today, she must die!"
Ming Hui was defeated, and now Mei Er's life or death is still unknown. The great Holy One was despised by Ling Wu Shuang, if he lets her off like this, what face will the Protector General's Manor have in Dong Lin from now on?!
"Li Tianyi, you're also too shameless!" Upon hearing this, Ji Yunyang suddenly became angry and couldn't hold it in, retorting: "Li Minghui got what was coming to him, don't blame Wudang, Li Meier proposed a life-or-death duel, losing means death, that's self-inflicted. And you, can't beat the young ones, bully the old ones, take advantage of your juniors, and still have the nerve to say this out loud? I'm embarrassed for you!"
"Girl's family is so poor!" Li Tian's already dark face turned even uglier.
"I'm so afraid of you" Ji Yunyang patted his chest, looking disdainful. A strong person should have the demeanor of a strong person, but this Li Tianyi was despicable and sinister, using any means necessary, not worthy of anyone's respect.
"Li Tianyi's" eyes suddenly sank, his tone was stern and his gentle face was not angry but majestic. He said in a calm voice: "As for Li Minghui and Li Mei'er, who is right or wrong is not to be discussed yet. You are an elder, bullying my disciple in public, so don't you also need to give me an explanation!"
The last sentence, coldly shouted out, a terrifying pressure, followed by Tianye's body surging out, pressing Li Tian so much that he couldn't even breathe, his feet unable to move half a step, and only with great effort was he able to keep his legs from collapsing beneath him.
Li Tianyi couldn't help but feel a great shock in his heart, and his mind was filled with thoughts of how this could be possible. As a Saint-level cultivator, even if Tianye Yun had reached the peak of the 9th rank, it shouldn't have been possible for him to possess such an aura that would render Li Tianyi breathless. Unless... no, this couldn't be!
The surroundings were silent, Li Tian's face was exceptionally gloomy, and towards Tian Ye Cloud, he dared not speak out of anger. After thinking for a long time, his grayish-white eyes turned, staring dead at Ling Wu Shuang, saying in a harsh tone: "This matter won't end like this! The Guardian General Manor and your Ling family can't coexist!"
Heavenly clouds can protect her for a while, he doesn't believe it, and can also protect this little beast for a lifetime!
"It's all over, the Protector General's Mansion and the Ling family have turned against each other, now things are really going to explode"
Everyone listened, and only then did they feel that the situation was somewhat serious. A life-and-death battle had actually led to such severe consequences. Li Tianyi declared in front of everyone that the entire Hu Guo Jiangjun Fu would be an enemy of the Ling family, it's either you die or I live!
Ling Tian didn't mind much, the Guardian General's Mansion and the Ling family had never been at odds before, where did this talk of turning against each other come from? This time it was just brought out from behind the scenes to the forefront.
"We're leaving." Li Tianyi flung off his tattered robes, turned around and left with the people from the Guardian Manor. As he walked, he occasionally revealed charred skin under his clothes, and on his buttocks, some white things were exposed.
Walking behind him, even the attendants of the Hu Guo Fu couldn't help but stifle a smile, holding back their laughter and not daring to laugh out loud.
"I'm telling you, Li Tianyi, don't forget that the treasure vault of the Guardian General's Manor is now mine," Ling Wushuang reminded him lightly, her voice like pouring oil on fire. "Within three days, if it's not properly accounted for, I'll have to personally pay a visit to your esteemed self."
Li Tianyi's back figure suddenly stopped for a moment, furious, his feet slipped and almost fell to the ground. He desperately suppressed his anger, his back stiffened for a few seconds, then quickly took steps to leave.
If you want his treasure, you'll have to take it with your life!
Everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh secretly. Li Tianyi would get angry to the point of getting sick, but after being reminded by Ling Wushuang, some people who were shocked by this fight and forgot what was going on suddenly remembered that they still had bets riding on it!
Ling Wushuang not only defeated Li Mei'er, but also dragged down the old ancestor of the General's Mansion, Li Tianyi, and gave him a good beating.
"Wow, I bet 500 taels on Miss Wuduan to win and made a huge profit with a 3:1 payout ratio!"
"Haha, I'm so insightful! I also support Ling Wushuang"
Of course, more people are hanging their heads in shame, secretly slapping themselves in the face, vomiting and stomping their feet. How did they become blind and misplace their treasure? So much money, all that silver, gambled away on Li Mei'er, and it's all gone down the drain.
The happiest thing is that Ji Yunyang has arrived, with a handsome face and a bright smile. He walked a few steps to the side of Nan Gongyan and others, stroking his chin and smiling: "You lost, don't deny it."
He really suspected that Wú Shuāng was intentional, and had been eyeing Li Tianyi's treasure for a long time. Li Mei proposed the challenge, but this guy hesitated and refused, deceiving Li Mei into pressing down her precious treasure, and only reluctantly agreed, taking advantage of the situation.
It's really too gloomy, but as for Nan Gongyao and Yun Qingchen, they themselves stuck to it, so it can't be blamed on others for being unlucky.
"Yun Qingchen, your two million taels will be counted by the young master tomorrow." Ji Yunyang waved his hand grandly, with a hint of majesty.
"How could this be?" Yun Qingchen's face had already turned pale when Li Mei'er fell, and now he was even more remorseful, his intestines were all green, where was the proud young master's demeanor? His face was ashen, his cheeks stiffly twitching, hearing Ji Yunyang's words, he couldn't catch his breath, fainted, and was carried away by a group of servants around him.
How can Yun Qingchen not be anxious? Originally thought it was a sure win, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into this situation. Two million taels of gold, that's almost half of the Yun family's assets! Who can accept this?
"And you, Nangong Ye" Ji Yunyang turned his head, with a spring breeze in his favor, such a great opportunity, how could he waste it, so he laughed and taunted: "If one of my sons is missing, I'll go to the Emperor's place to file a complaint"
Ling Wushuang chuckled and said, "This Jiyun Yang is really a treasure, but at critical moments, this kid is still quite reliable."
"Hmph" Nangong Ye's face was also not much better, his expression sank like water, he let out a cold hum and turned to leave with a flick of his sleeve.
"Wait a minute," Ling Wu Shuang suddenly spoke up, his cold voice stopping Nan Gong Ye in his tracks. He took a slow step forward, his eyes scanning Nan Gong Ye from head to toe before he smiled lightly and said, "Nan Gong Ye, have you forgotten the bet we made before the competition?"
Nan Gong Ye's figure remained still, while Ling Wu Xiang continued: "If you don't remember, I don't mind reminding you once more."
Finally, Nan Gong Yan turned around with a surprised expression, his face as handsome as ever, revealing a hint of astonishment. He gazed at the woman in front of him, pressed his lips tightly together, and said: "Ling Wu Shuang, don't be stubborn. Once I say this, you'll regret it if you want to take it back."
This woman actually wants to cancel the engagement, don't cry and beg him by holding his legs later!
"You only need to fulfill our bet, and the engagement will be cancelled. As for other matters, it's not necessary for Your Highness, the Seventh Prince, to worry about them." Ling Wusuo said with a faint smile, her hands clasped together in front of her chest.
Nan Gong Yan's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, staring at Ling Wu Shuang's face, which was as beautiful and confident as ever. A hint of unusual color flashed in his eyes, but suddenly, his eyebrows relaxed, and he slowly smiled out loud, saying: "Ling Wu Shuang, you said that if you win, the engagement would be cancelled. That was your own words. This prince never agreed to it from start to finish."
After finishing speaking, Nangong Ye looked deeply at Ling Wushuang, raised his head and burst into a loud laughter, then turned around and left with his entourage.
Ling Wushuang was stunned, her eyebrows furrowed, staring at the back of Nangong Yan, blinking in surprise. She had always been the one to outmaneuver others, but unexpectedly today, she let her guard down for a moment and allowed Nangong Yan to take advantage of her.
"There are actually people who have no shame!" Ji Yunyang spoke out in discontent, staring at his back, cursing. This Nan Gongyan, is he still going to pretend to be innocent? His previous attitude clearly indicated that he had agreed, but now he's denying it, his face is thicker than the city walls!
"Whatever." Ling Wu Shuang pouted, admitting that she was indeed unlucky. However, this matter would have to be resolved sooner or later. Plotting against her would come at a cost.
The people around looked at each other, thinking that Nan Gong Ye was really going to marry Ling Wu Shuang. After a moment's thought, this made sense - Miss Ling was renowned for her beauty and had extraordinary talent, with an unlimited future ahead of her. The imperial family would definitely try every means to curry favor with her. If the Seventh Prince were to give up on the engagement, that would be truly foolish.
"Are you alright, Ling Wuduan? Are you injured?" Old Man Ling walked to Ling Wuduan's side and gave Tian Yexing a polite nod. He looked Ling Wuduan up and down carefully, his beard quivering as he said in a cold voice, "Don't ever do something so reckless again."
This little rabbit, is too bold, even dare to casually lay hands on Li Tianyi, if not for the timely intervention of Tianye Yun, he might not have been able to stop it in time. This Li Tianyi, after all, has reached the Holy Stage for many years, who knows what kind of formidable moves he will make, and can't be defended against.
"Got it." Ling Wu Shuang smiled and replied to Old Man Ling's words, always responding exceptionally quickly. However, whether he listened or not afterwards was a different story altogether.
"You, you!" Old Master Ling pointed at Ling Wu, his nostrils flaring as he hummed in anger, but he was also helpless against her.
"Grandfather, you and Fourth Uncle go back first, I still have some things to ask Tianye teacher." Ling Wushuang's fingertips caressed the jade bangle on her wrist, and her eyes seemed to ripple like water, as if even Tianye teacher didn't know, Donglin might not find out either.
Ling Tian and Ling Moqiu exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and led the Ling family members back.
A life-and-death battle, Li Mei'er, who had been sure to win, ended in a miserable defeat, with her life and death unknown. The shocking gamble also came to an end, and the biggest winner was that certain someone surnamed Ji, whose mouth was stretched into a smile all the way to his ears. Finally, he no longer had to hide from his master's pursuit throughout the entire city.
Ling Wushuang suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Li Meier, becoming the undisputed number one genius in the Eastern Lin Kingdom! Ling Wushuang's display of such shocking talent caused Ling Jingtian to break through to the Holy Rank once again. The resurgence of the Ling family was now unstoppable, and various forces were suddenly stirred up.
Canaan Academy, Alchemist's Great Hall.
The night cloud shook its sleeve, both hands were tucked into the sky-blue Taoist robe, and a elegant smile was hooked at the corner of his lips. "Little girl, what do you want to ask?"
Ling Wushuang lowered her gaze to her wrist, pursed her red lips, and thought for a moment before hesitantly opening her mouth: "Teacher, do you know what the Summit of Daily Ascent, Wanli Luoyuan, and Tianyin Valley are?"
"On the peak of every day, a vast expanse of deer plains?!" Upon hearing Ling Wu's words, Yu Ya, calm and serene as the night clouds, suddenly revealed a look of surprise. Her ink-black pupils stared at Ling Wu, astonished, "Wu, how did you know these things?"
Tian Ye's face changed slightly at night, and Ling Wu's eyes narrowed, asking closely, "Teacher, do you know?"
She wasn't wrong, Teacher Tianye indeed knows something!
"But little girl, these are still too far for you." Tian Ye's expression was slightly solemn, and he nodded his head, letting out a low sigh. "This world is far from being as simple as what you've seen, and the Star Continent, compared to that region, is simply insignificant, like an ant."
"What region is that?" Ling Wu Xiang muttered a sentence, somewhat vague and uncertain, as if he didn't know the region of the Star Continent.
The night cloud walked to the window with his hands behind his back and said faintly, "The teacher knows it too, but not much. However, I can tell you a little bit. Even the legendary peak god is not the highest point of cultivation. The Star Continent is a low-level realm, suppressed by the realm. The peak god is just the Xuan Shi of the Star Continent, and the extreme that can be cultivated!"
"Isn't the Apex Divine Being the highest realm of the Mystic Master?" Ling Wu Xuan was shocked beyond measure.
"Xuanqi refinement, step by step upgrade, title of Saint, the pinnacle of Shenren is not the end, above the divine level, there are two more levels, Wangjie and Junjie"
Tianye Yun turned his head to look at Ling Wushuang, took a deep breath, and slowly said: "Title of Saint, Pinnacle of Shenren, Strongest Wangzhe, Shengshen Junwang!"
The Night Cloud God's expression carried a hint of yearning as he slowly opened his mouth: "The God-King of Annihilation, that is the highest level of existence!"
"God-slaying Sovereign King..." Ling Wu Xuan muttered to himself, then asked in a low voice: "Teacher, do you know who Lou Jun Yan is?"
"Lou Jun Yan!" Tian Ye Yun's voice was filled with surprise, her face changed color, and her eyes flashed as she stared at Ling Wu Shuang. Her tone rose slightly, sounding somewhat urgent, "Zhōu Rì Zhī Diān, Xiū Luó Yán Jūn, Wú Shuāng, how did you know so much?"
