“Brat, let me show you the prowess of a Greatly Accomplished God-King who has gone through Body Tempering.”
Helian Ding launched a whip-like kick at Lu Qinglian.
Bang!
Lu Qinglian blocked the kick with his left arm.
Lu Qinglian was sent flying back dozens of steps, shaking his left arm: “Your strength is just too much.”
“Brat, how dare you disgrace our Helian Family; I’ll show you that there are always bigger fish out there.” Helian Ding pursued to kill, “Eighteen Styles of Eagle Claw!”
Helian Ding’s five fingers became claws, ferocious and sharp enough to easily tear through meteoric iron.
Lu Qinglian desperately dodged, engaging Helian Ding but at a disadvantage.
“Helian Ding, what are you playing at?”
Huangfu Yin was facing off against Lu Changsheng and, unsure of Lu Changsheng’s trump card, did not make his move rashly.
He was dissatisfied to see Helian Ding actually being tied up by Lu Qinglian.
At Ziyang Academy, Lu Changsheng had slain the Sky Martial Demon Monarch; Huangfu Yin did not dare face him alone.
“This little devil is rather tricky; my Eagle Claw Skills can’t seem to harm him fundamentally. Just give me a little more time.”
Huangfu Yin had not expected Lu Qinglian to be so formidable; he would need to expend quite a bit of effort to defeat Lu Qinglian.
“How is this possible?”
Huangfu Yin started to suspect that Helian Ding did not want to engage with the tough nut Lu Changsheng, so he was deliberately playing house with Lu Qinglian.
“Are you going to make a move or not?”
Seeing Huangfu Yin, a Greatly Accomplished God-King, reluctant to engage with him, Lu Changsheng was momentarily stunned.
“You refuse the toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.”
Huangfu Yin reached out and grabbed, and an Ice Sword forged from icy coldness appeared in his hand.
He believed that as long as he was cautious enough, he should not end up killed by Lu Changsheng like the Sky Martial Demon Monarch.
The Sky Martial Demon Monarch was a third-rank God-King, but Huangfu Yin himself was a first-rank God-King with a place in the Divine King Ranking.
Lu Changsheng swallowed the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill, and his cultivation skyrocketed!
Seventh-rank God-King, sixth-rank God-King, fifth-rank God-King, fourth-rank God-King, third-rank God-King!
Eventually, Lu Changsheng’s cultivation stopped at the third-rank God-King.
As a ninth-rank God-King, the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill could only help Lu Changsheng advance to the fourth-rank God-King realm, but as he broke through to the eighth-rank God-King realm, the medicine’s power was even greater, temporarily boosting Lu Changsheng to the third-rank God-King realm.
“That medicinal fragrance, could it be the twenty-first rank Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill? Such a supreme Divine Pill seems wasted on you. No wonder you could slay the Sky Martial Demon Monarch. But I am not the Sky Martial Demon Monarch; I am stronger! Nine Swords of Heavenly Yin! First Style, Icy Sword Prison!”
Huangfu Yin activated the Yin Sword in his hand, bringing forth a biting chill, as water vapor condensed into ice spears.
The cold Sword Qi roamed through space, actually forming dragon-shaped figures of ice.
Dozens of Sword Aura Ice Dragons encircled Lu Changsheng, trapping him with no chance of escape.
Lu Changsheng beckoned with two fingers, drawing the Nether Flame Sword from its sheath; the flames formed by the fusion of Nether Prison Flame, Ziwei Celestial Flame, and Qing Emperor True Qi melted the solid ice, protecting Lu Changsheng with their heat.
The surface of the Ice Dragons also showed water stains from the melting ice, but the Sword Aura Ice Dragons were not completely melted.
After all, Huangfu Yin was a first-rank God-King; his profound cultivation meant that the Sword Aura Ice Dragons would not dissipate so easily.
Roar——
A Sword Aura Ice Dragon let out a roar, baring its fangs and claws, and under Huangfu Yin’s command, attacked Lu Changsheng from behind.
The chilling Sword Qi that formed this particular Ice Dragon consisted of thousands of strands.
Lu Changsheng immediately deployed the Mountain and Rivers Chart, capturing the Sword Aura Ice Dragon within!
The Sword Aura Ice Dragon struggled, but to no avail against the terrifying suction of the Mountain and Rivers Chart, a treasured item, and was forcibly drawn inside.
“The Clan’s Treasure Mountain and Rivers Chart of the Ancient Han Family? How could such a treasure fall into your hands? Could it be that during the Heavenly Court’s ransacking of the Ancient Han Family, their Clan’s Treasure ended up with you?”
Huangfu Yin recognized the famous magical treasure of the Ancient Han Family.
With the Mountain and Rivers Chart, a defensive magical treasure, Huangfu Yin alone would truly have a difficult time killing Lu Changsheng.
“Lu Changsheng, I will kill you! How come you’re absorbing every attack?”
Dantai Meng, however, was going insane inside the Mountain and Rivers Chart, forced to struggle against the Sword Aura Ice Dragons.
She had just begun to feel a bit of affection towards Lu Changsheng, and yet he used her as a shield again.
Dantai Meng was only a ninth-rank God-King, and the Sword Qi Ice Dragons formed by Huangfu Yin’s True Qi were not something she could handle.
“I can let you out temporarily, but don’t think about running away, otherwise, I won’t be polite.”
Lu Changsheng knew that fighting with Huangfu Yin was extremely dangerous; he still needed to use the Mountain and Rivers Chart to continuously absorb damage. If Dantai Meng continued to stay inside, she would eventually be killed.
If Dantai Meng accidentally died, the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable would definitely blame him, and at that point, even with the Human Sovereign Cauldron, Lu Changsheng might not be able to handle the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable.
The Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable was not of the same caliber as Huangfu Yin or Helian Ding.
Huangfu Yin, Helian Ding, and others were still in the Divine King Realm, while the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable was a Great Expert who had survived from the Ancient Times.
“If you let me out, I won’t run away!”
Dantai Meng thought that even a breath of fresh air would be good, as continuing to stay inside the Mountain and Rivers Chart would sooner or later lead to death by getting caught up in the fighting.
With a thought, Lu Changsheng released Dantai Meng.
“You get away quickly, don’t interfere with my battle.”
Lu Changsheng concentrated fully to avoid being caught off guard by a sneak attack from Huangfu Yin.
“Hmph, who cares.”
Dantai Meng hurriedly distanced herself.
“Helian Ding, hurry up and deal with the opponent; he has the Mountain and Rivers Chart, and I alone cannot break his defense.”
Huangfu Yin urged Helian Ding.
“I know.”
“Great Crushing Heaven Palm!”
Frustrated and enraged from a protracted battle, Helian Ding concentrated True Qi in both palms and struck with combined force, unleashing a terrifying palm strength that could annihilate heavens and earth, aiming to obliterate Lu Qinglian in one fell swoop!
Lu Qinglian instantly took the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill, and her aura skyrocketed.
“Hundredfold Desolate Force! Dragon-Elephant Limitless Fist!”
Lu Qinglian chose to go head-to-head with Helian Ding.
With the effects of the Green Emperor Inheritance, a greatly accomplished Martial King Divine Physique could compete with a first-rank Divine King in martial techniques.
Crack!
As fist met palm, the backlash of energy occurred, and Helian Ding’s arms made a sound of breaking bones!
“Ahhhhh!!!”
Helian Ding let out a scream like a slaughtered pig; he, a venerable first-rank Divine King, was actually wounded by a junior in the Immortal Emperor Realm.
“How is this possible!”
Members of the Helian clan who were engaged in battle with others were shocked and horrified to see that Helian Ding, a greatly accomplished Divine King, was injured by Lu Qinglian.
Lu Qinglian’s combat capabilities appeared to be very misleading.
Lu Qinglian was only of Great Accomplishment in the Immortal Emperor Realm, but her physique could compare to that of a Greatly Accomplished Divine King, and anyone who underestimated her would suffer heavily.
After Lu Qinglian took the Ancestral Dragon Blood Pill, her potential was further unlocked, temporarily boosting her cultivation to the seventh rank of the Divine King Realm. Coupled with her greatly accomplished Martial King Divine Physique, Helian Ding could only take a beating.
“It’s a good time to test out the martial technique I’ve just learned. Emperor-Slaying Heaven and Earth!”
Lu Qinglian took a deep breath, attracting a vast amount of nature’s spiritual energy, engulfing all light like a black hole, causing day and night to darken.
Helian Ding, locked in position, was sweating profusely.
He had an ominous sense of imminent danger.
“I refuse to believe that a mere youngster can kill me!”
“Ninety-Nine to One!”
Helian Ding desperately circulated his cultivation technique, and the nature’s spiritual energy in front of him formed a massive vortex in an attempt to block this domineering punch from Lu Qinglian.
“Break!”
Lu Qinglian’s hair danced in the chaotic flow of spiritual energy, with blue and red flames flickering at the tips, like a female War God. This punch was like commandeering heaven and earth!
“Could this be…!”
Helian Ding suddenly thought of the origin of the martial technique used by Lu Qinglian and turned deathly pale.
He could no longer run away and had to brace himself to receive Lu Qinglian’s punch with full force.
The massive spiritual energy vortex shattered like decay under the imperious punch!
“No!”
Helian Ding watched in despair as the Desolate-like punch approached, releasing forty-nine Talismans to no avail against Lu Qinglian’s punch. One by one they were destroyed, and finally, the punch landed on Helian Ding.
“Ancestor!!”
Members of the Ancient Helian Family exclaimed in shock.
“Indeed, something wasn’t right…”
Even Huangfu Yin was panicked.
The disciples of Lu Changsheng, one surpassing the other at feigning weakness, had now tricked two Ancient Families.
“Human Sovereign Cauldron, it’s time for you to take action.”
While Lu Qinglian was beating up Helian Ding, Lu Changsheng started to activate the even more terrifying magical treasure—the Human Sovereign Cauldron—to deal with Huangfu Yin.
