Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Sitting with his legs crossed, Li Lingtian was fully immersed in cultivating Heaven and Earth Reincarnation and gaining insight on Heaven and Earth Conflagration.
“Damn, don’t they all come in pairs.”
Moments after he sat down to rest, a swoosh came out from nowhere. Li Lingtian had a vantage point over the cliff and could see two shadows, one chasing after another at a distance. He could not help but find it amusing.
He had only met two people fighting over an herb after he entered Hidden Dragon Isle. Not even a single soul was seen for the rest of the day.
There was someone at last, actually two of them, and it seemed like they were also in a brawl over something. However, he was all by himself, cultivating alone.
“Put down the Green Onyx Fruit and I will leave your corpse intact.”
A booming voice blasted through the atmosphere. As soon as it stopped, a tall, burly figure leaped into the air and jumped right in front of the person who was running away.
“It’s her! What a coincidence.”
The two warriors came near the cliff, and Li Lingtian caught a good glimpse of their faces. There was a tall and well-built man who seemed to be in his mid-twenties that was a Tier Eight Warrior Spirit who held an ordinary grade spiritual equipment.
5 yards away, this man was faced by a petite lady in her early twenties. She was an unmatched beauty, yet she looked pitiful as her fair, glowing face had smudges of blood at the corner of her mouth.
Liu Yiyi from Misty Pavillion!
Li Lingtian did not expect to see Misty Pavilion’s Liu Yiyi, who was one of the sect’s core disciples. A Tier Six Warrior Spirit disciple who made it to the core. That puzzled him because Misty Pavilion was not short of Tier Nine Warrior Spirit disciples.
It was Bai Yan who told him that Liu Yiyi’s true identity was not to be underestimated as the elders of Misty Pavilion were also clueless about her origins and her background.
“Hmph, dream as you wish but the Green Onyx Fruit will not be yours.”
Her voice was sweet, melodious, and had a mystical quality about it. Her pretty eyes glanced around for an escape route as she knew she could not fend off the Tier Eight Warrior Spirit Powerhouse.
“If that’s the case, I have both you and the Green Onyx Fruit then.”
“Mighty Storm Cloud Sword Technique.”
Su Tian had a sly grin in his face. No one could possibly remain untempted by such an attractive woman. Since there was no one around, he would be filled with joy if he could get his hands on Green Onyx Fruit and have his way with this beauty while he was at it.
As soon as he finished what he said, Su Tian displayed Storm Cloud Sword, the ordinary grade peerless equipment that he was holding. At that instant, the sword’s glints swirled around and swiftly formed into a six-hilt sword of silhouettes.
The winds and clouds rolled around with imposing vigor in the atmosphere. Li Lingtian, who stood atop the cliff, was deeply shaken.
This Tier Eight Warrior Spirit had demonstrated Mighty Storm Cloud Sword Technique from Tian Jin Empire’s Divine Sword Sect. It was so powerful that its strength could easily surpass his Vast Obscure Extermination.
“Senior sister, would you share one of your Green Onyx Fruit with your junior brother?”
Li Lingtian transmitted his voice to the panic-stricken Liu Yiyi. He was determined to get the Green Onyx Fruit, but it might not be a good idea to seize it from her. He also did not want Su Tian to lay hands on this pretty lady.
“Sky Net Shield, block.”
Liu Yiyi was terrorized to the core as she looked at the mighty glints of the blade. Su Tian had been hunting her down for hours, and she only managed to make it this far using the numerous treasures in her possession.
Seeing that her opponent had started hurling such brutal attacks, Liu Yiyi was out of ideas and had no choice but to use her last piece of treasure.
The faint voice transmitted to her at that instant made her even more petrified with the realization that her situation had just become worse.
“Rumble.”
The few strokes of sword silhouettes hit Sky Net Shield with a thunderous bang.
Liu Yiyi was violently pushed a few yards back. Sky Net Shield was losing its glimmer. This peerless grade spiritual equipment had blocked an attack from Mighty Storm Cloud Sword Technique and was wounded.
“You have quite some treasures with you. A peerless grade spiritual equipment, it would be of nice use to me. Let’s see how you’ll hold up to this.”
Su Tian was actually taken aback by the fact that his Mighty Storm Cloud Sword Technique, which had always been invincible, was blocked by his opponent’s peerless grade spiritual equipment. He had been chasing after her for a while, and she had an endless hoard of treasures. Greed rose from the bottom of his heart.
“Alright. If you eliminate him, I’ll give you the Green Onyx Fruit.”
Liu Yiyi started talking toward a direction where there was no one, which freaked Su Tian out. He quickly thought that Liu Yiyi was trying to deceive him. As expected, Liu Yiyi turned around and ran away.
“You’d think I’m easily tricked, but I’m not a kid. I’ll let you know what I’m made of.”
Su Tian was convinced that Liu Yiyi intended to deceive him as she was already running away. He did not hesitate to use motion skills to pursue her. That was when a fatal Qi came down on him.
“Vast Obscure Extermination, time to die.”
A strange, destructive blade aura descended from the sky at top speed as soon as those ice-cold words were said. The blade aura transformed into countless silver needles that tore through the air and went toward Su Tian’s direction.
There was a tinge of Vast Obscure Extermination Qi in the air that made Su Tian quiver involuntarily.
“Mighty Storm Cloud Sword Technique, Thousand Shadows of Sword Flickers.”
He bellowed and swung his Storm Cloud Sword around rapidly. Numerous blade shadows shot toward the incoming attack.
“Clink, clatter.”
“Rumble.”
The air was in a constant quiver as the clashing of blade shadows and silver needles brought about a lot of clatters. A giant boom marked the end when the two hefty blade auras collided.
The explosion threw Su Tian out of sight and created a great hole in the ground. Li Lingtian descended, looked at Liu Yiyi who was standing afar and grinned ever so slightly.
“It’s you.”
Liu Yiyi saw Li Lingtian’s figure and recognized him straight away. This teenage boy with a seemingly rubbish cultivation level was the one whom the Warrior Ascendant Powerhouse wanted as a disciple.
She was nonetheless comforted to see someone from Sky Dragon Empire.
“Blergh.”
Somewhere far away, sounds of blood being spat out could be heard. Su Tian was pale in the face while he spewed a mouthful of blood. He was also in deep, deep shame.
He was from Divine Sword Sect, which was a sect that specialized in sword cultivation. No one could ever compete with them in Eastern Spirit Greenland, and yet he had lost to a blade aura today.
As this was not a fighting ring where he could just admit defeat to save his life, he was more disappointed with his loss.
He gave an icy stare at the teenager in front of him and was at a loss for words. A fifteen-year-old teenager who only had a Warrior cultivation level. He also noticed that the weapon held by the boy was an unexpected peerless grade.
“Mighty Storm Cloud Sword Technique, Destroyer Sword.”
“I’ll serve you your death.”
A destructive force tore up the air in the skies. All the plants and boulders were transformed into numerous sharp and glinting blade shadows.
Every drop of blood seemed to have left Su Tian’s face. He was suffering, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
“He’s a Tier Eight Warrior Spirit. Beware, Junior Brother Li, as this is Mighty Storm Cloud Sword Technique’s forbidden skill from Divine Sword Sect.”
Liu Yiyi was shouting words of caution to Li Lingtian. She was then taken aback by her concern for this stranger.
“Ice and Fire Ring.”
Li Lingtian could not risk making mistakes at this point as well. He had experience cultivating Astounding Sword Technique and understood the strengths of such sword forms and skills. Not to mention that the Destroyer Sword had exceeded his expectations.
It was even more appalling than his Vast Obscure Extermination. He could not display Thousand Shadows of Fluttering Flowers since he had not cultivated the technique, so it was a waste of time talking about it.
Ice and Fire Ring had a powerful defense. It would be wise to first protect himself.
“Ice Vitality Divine Fist, Three Hundred Mile Frost!”
Immemorial Ice Crystal was mobilized under Ice and Fire Ring’s display. The temperature within 100 yards dropped drastically and the surrounding area turned into a glacier.
Meanwhile, Ice Vitality Divine Fist headed toward Su Tian’s direction with smashing force and speed.
“Rumble.”
“Crack.”
“Splash.”
The glacier’s formation had frozen the blade shadows formed by the numerous plants and boulders in ice, which greatly slowed down its attacking speed. Destroyer Sword’s Qi was also successfully held up by the ice barrier.
Liu Yiyi and Su Tian were bewildered by the glacier taking shape. While Su Tian was stunned by the ongoing business, an icy Qi of doom hit and turned him into an ice statue.
That ice statue shattered into smithereens under Li Lingtian’s single punch. Su Tian’s eyes were churning despair and horror before everything was gone with the fragmented pieces.
“Thud thud thud.”
Li Lingtian’s body recoiled a few yards. The Ice and Fire Ring in front of him gradually disappeared and lost its glow.
“What a terrifying Destroyer Sword.”
He was utterly shocked as all the other blade shadows had been frozen and slowed down in the glacier, yet the Destroyer Sword managed to break through it. If not for the defense from Ice and Fire Ring, he would have been heavily wounded.
“Oh no, someone’s coming this way.”
His Divine Mindfulness picked up a strong Qi one and a half miles away which was heading toward them. The speed detected was amazingly fast and was as good as his Breeze Technique.
Li Lingtian stopped talking. Su Tian’s storage sack and Storm Cloud Sword were quickly stashed away and off he dashed toward Liu Yiyi. Both of them then bolted from the scene.
Their shadows disappeared immediately in the dark of the night. They would be safe in the forest because no one would ever go there unless they encountered demonic beasts.
“How frightening! Ice-path Warrior Soul and Three Thousand Mile Frost.”
“And Divine Sword Sect’s forbidden skill Destroyer Sword! For sure it wasn’t easy to steer clear from its attacks. They better not cross paths with me though, the murderer of Divine Sword Sect’s members was nothing compared to me.”
Li Lingtian and Liu Yiyi were not even gone for two minutes before a shadow tore through the atmosphere and descended at the scene. The young adult was surprised when he looked over the huge pit in the ground, the ice bits of the remaining glacier, and the blade aura in the atmosphere.
Warrior King Powerhouse!
