“Isolated cultivation?”
Ling Xiao knew that Nangong Xuan and Nangong Qing had probably started cultivating the minute they got their hands on the Longevity Supreme Scripture.
However, he was rather surprised that Deng Yalin stood up for him. It seemed like that young lad was not that mean after all.
Swish!
With a flick of his finger, three spiritual pills flew right into each palm of Liu Chuanxiong and the other two men respectively.
“Consume this and focus on your recovery. You guys did well, but I can take matters into my own hands from now on!”
His gaze towards those three men seemed to soften slightly.
Although Lin Haoyu was so strong and powerful, these three men were willing to stand up against him for Xue Wei and Ling Xiao would not forget this favor.
“Is this… Great Recuperation Pill?!”
Liu Chuanxiong was taken aback when he identified the spiritual pill in his hand.
Great Recuperation Pill was a spiritual pill that could assist a master of Spiritualization Boundary to breakthrough or recuperate after a major injury. It was an exceptionally precious superior spiritual pill that cost over tens of thousands of Spiritual Stones, but Ling Xiao gave it away with such ease.
After noticing that, Liu Piaopiao curled her lips with disapproval. She knew that these Great Recuperation Pills were refined by Great Master Jiao Mu, yet Ling Xiao simply gave them away as gifts.
“Many thanks, Saint! However… Lin Haoyu was tough to defeat and he’s backed by the Grand Supreme Elder Lin Shan. Saint, you mustn’t act out of impulse!” Liu Chuanxiong reminded earnestly.
“Be rest assured! There are only a few people in the Longevity Sect that are worth it!”
Ling Xiao revealed a weak smile before taking his leave and Liu Piaopiao hurried after him.
She was burning with curiosity. Lin Haoyu had a cultivation base of ninth tier Spiritualization Boundary and although Ling Xiao was an innate genius, he had only acquired third tier True Qi Boundary. The stage difference between the two of them was huge. Furthermore, Lin Haoyu was backed by a Grandmaster. Where did Ling Xiao find the courage to challenge that man?
Besides, she was anticipating to witness if this magical young man, whom the arrogant Jiao Mu was willing to become his apprentice, could really create a miracle?
Liu Chuanxiong and the other two men glazed over as they thought about the Great Recuperation Pills in their hands.
“Big Brother, do you think the Saint is a match for Lin Haoyu?” asked Gu Zhong.
“It’s difficult to say!” Liu Chuanxiong forced a bitter smile. “Although the Saint had defeated Deng Yalin, the latter was only on first tier Spiritualization Boundary. On the other hand, Lin Haoyu had already acquired ninth tier Spiritualization Boundary and mastered the Earthly level inferior Seven Stars to Moon Sword. His ability is way beyond Deng Yalin’s!”
“Perhaps, Big Brother’s afraid that the Saint is going to be defeated?” whispered Wang Han.
“So what if the Saint prevails? Don’t forget that Lin Haoyu was backed by an unchallenged presence of Grandmaster Boundary!”
Liu Chuanxiong shook his head. He could feel the numbness and tingle on his head as he thought of a Grandmaster Boundary Master’s explosive strength.
“However, Big Brother, did you notice something? I heard that the Saint was only at fourth tier Pulse Unsealing Boundary when he defeated Deng Yalin and conquered the nine stories of Longevity Tower, but from my observation earlier I noticed his cultivation base was…”
“Third tier True Qi Boundary!”
Wang Han pursed his lips and smiled. His eyes were twinkling with unusual brilliance.
“What?!”
Both Liu Chuanxiong and Gu Zhong, who looked panic-stricken, trembled slightly.
“Perhaps… The Saint will create another miracle this time!”
Wang Han looked at Ling Xiao’s receding silhouette with expectant eyes.
…
Nine Suns Peak.
Underneath the mountain peak was a flaming vein of the earth that had an abundance of fire attribute spiritual energy. This place was perfect for cultivating fire attribute martial arts.
This was Lin Haoyu’s residence.
Before Ling Xiao became a Saint, out of tens of thousands of Longevity Sect disciples, only Nangong Qing and Lin Haoyu were able to call a whole mountain peak to themselves.
When Ling Xiao and Liu Piaopiao arrived at Nine Suns Peak, they were immediately stopped by two disciples who were armed with swords.
“Who’re you? This is Senior Brother Lin’s cave-dwelling, hurry and take your leave!”
The two young men dressed in white each held a Green Crest Sword in their hands. They were both arrogant and rude. The True Qi that filled their whole bodies revealed that they were already at third tier True Qi Boundary.
Having two inner sect disciples to guard the entrance had completely showcased Lin Haoyu’s overbearing manner.
“Go get Lin Haoyu for me!” Ling Xiao said nonchalantly as he stood with his wrists crossed behind his back.
“Imbecile! How presumptuous of you, a lowly third tier True Qi Boundary disciple to address Senior Brother Lin by name! Do you want to get yourself killed?”
Full of murderous intent, the two young men dressed in white charged at Ling Xiao with their swords.
Their True Qi rolled in like violent waves. Under the reflection of sword lights, it looked as if three massive waves were rolling towards Ling Xiao.
The two of them were performing an Onyx level inferior martial arts — Infinite Sea Sword Seal!
“Roll!”
Ling Xiao’s eyes gleamed with surprise. He had never expected Lin Haoyu’s guards to be so aggressive that they would kill at a minor disagreement.
Boom!
The earth shuddered under Ling Xiao’s foot. As a pale golden color True Qi shrouded his palm, he threw a punch at the two of them at once.
“How dare you fight our swords with your bare hand? You’re definitely asking for death!”
The two young men laughed malignantly. The swords in their hands gleamed and suddenly flew towards Ling Xiao’s arms in an effort to cut his arms off.
However, they instantly realized their mistake.
The moment the fierce and violent fist light swept through, it brought with it an unmatched life force that could break apart the void. Immediately, it blasted over those two stainless steel longswords.
Crack!
Colors drained from their faces. All they could feel were numbness in their arms, and the stainless steel longswords they had in their hands were somehow shattered into pieces. A great force came charging immediately after, flinging both of them more than ten feet away in the air.
Boom!
The two men were dropped to the ground without mercy while they spat out some blood at the same time. Their arms that held the longswords earlier had also been amputated.
“Who… Who are you, really?”
Their expressions turned solemn. They were all of third tier True Qi Boundary, but a punch from Ling Xiao had caused them such serious injuries. The mere thought of that fierce and violent fist light that brought along an unmatched life force from earlier was enough to send shudders down their spines.
“I remember now, he’s… He’s… He’s Ling Xiao! Oh no, we have to inform Senior Brother Lin!”
One of the young men was suddenly overwhelmed by fear and spoke in a shaky voice.
Despite their severe injuries, the two of them who were scared shitless dashed towards Lin Haoyu’s palace.
“What an abnormal physical body!”
Liu Piaopiao clicked her tongue silently. This was the first time she had witnessed Ling Xiao make a move. As it turned out, not only had Ling Xiao accomplished great attainment of alchemy, his combat power was also extraordinary.
As if he had not realized that the two men had scurried away like rats, Ling Xiao continued to advance into Nine Suns Peak.
He had only half-assed that punch earlier. Otherwise, if he had released the explosive power of his current Legendary Dragon’s Body, perhaps the two men would have shattered into a million pieces with just one punch.
An enormous palace stood erect on the top of Nine Suns Peak.
Numerous disciples rushed forward the moment Ling Xiao arrived at the entrance of the palace. They fixed a deathly glare on Ling Xiao as if every one of them wanted a piece of him.
“Ling Xiao, how could you behave so wildly at this place? Get down to your knees right now and maybe Senior Brother Lin will let you off this time!”
In the middle of the crowd stood Ling Kun and his eyes were filled with an unusually strong hatred.
Ling Xiao glanced around the room nonchalantly and announced, “I don’t want to kill anyone today. Get Lin Haoyu for me right now or I’ll drench Nine Suns Peak in a bloodbath!”
