Chapter 126: Wang's Unyielding Nature, Xiao Ling'er vs. Gu Yue! (Part 2)

"You?"

The Sword Son sneered, "I've seen your moves; you don't measure up."

"I already said, isn't the Son of the Moonlit Sect hard of hearing?"

"You!!!"

Lu Zhicai's brain immediately flared up. It was utterly unreasonable.

How could someone be so disrespectful?

"Fine, fine, fine."

Lu Zhicai laughed in anger, "How could the Son of the sect, who merely wants to learn the high moves of the Sword Son, do so?"

"Then you come over."

The Sword Son burst out laughing, "In the end, it’s just a defeat. As Tang Wu would say, even if you were a few years older, you could still defeat me in one move, and I still wouldn’t look up to you."

My God!!!

Lu Zhicai’s heart raced, almost coughing out a mouthful of old blood.

This Sword Son is so infuriating!

And he’s so shameless, as if being taught a lesson is merely what he deserved, and he doesn’t care at all about losing!

Are you even a Talent or a Holy Son?

Where’s your belief in invincibility?

Don’t you feel ashamed when defeated by others?!

Lu Zhicai, filled with resentment, immediately erupted.

His cultivation was far higher than the Sword Son’s, and without suppressing the realm, he could indeed defeat the Sword Son in just a few rounds, but he couldn’t bring himself to strike hard, only able to ask gloomly, “How?”

The Sword Son coughed out a mouthful of blood, chuckling, “You’re not a match for her.”

My God!!!

Lu Zhicai’s heart leaped, and he turned and left.

At this moment, he had only one thought — regret.

He shouldn’t have spoken out of turn, shouldn’t have asked.

Wasn’t he just asking for it?

But...

Why did the Spirit Sword Sect choose such a shameless person to be the Sword Son?

Was he not afraid of losing?!

"Who else?!"

The Sword Son raised his sword, ready to fight again.

At this moment, Gu Yue Fangyuan flashed and appeared on the cracked platform.

Seeing this, Lu Ming and Long Aotian both frowned.

"Hehe, Sword Son, I have no interest in you. Your Holy Physique is quite delicious, but it still falls short."

"Xiao Ling'er, Fellow Daoist, don’t you—"

"Would you like to fight next?"

"First, beat me!"

The Sword Son stepped forward.

"You’re too weak."

Gu Yue Fangyuan gave him a glance, showing no interest in making a move.

"You!"

The Sword Son glared, ready to attack, but was intercepted by Xiao Ling'er who appeared on the platform.

"I’ll take care of it, this person is strange."

Xiao Ling'er didn’t want the Sword Son to take the risk, after all, they weren’t related, so why owe him such a favor?

"Quite troublesome."

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes, "Gu Yue Fangyuan is too wicked. I don’t know what stage he’s at or what ‘toadflax’ he possesses."

"But, he should have sensed the Foreign Flame in Xiao Ling'er’s body and wants to seize it."

"Seems like—"

"Indeed, we need to think of a way to deal with Gu Yue Fangyuan, ah, just humiliating him isn’t enough, we need to thoroughly overwhelm him."

Tang Shenwang wasn’t a good person, but sending him over would make him a ‘good treasure.’

But Gu Yue is too wicked; it’s dangerous whether he’s on our side or the enemy’s. Moreover, since he has already set his sights on us, then—

We’ll find an opportunity to deal with him.

At the same time, he transmitted a message to Xiao Ling'er, "This person is too wicked, with many special means. You envelop yourself with the Foreign Flame, burning everything; it’ll be safer."

"Many thanks for the reminder, Fellow Daoist!"

Xiao Ling'er’s heart tightened, immediately responding and acting accordingly.

"Please."

Gu Yue Fangyuan laughed and raised his hand.

Xiao Ling'er, with a wave of her hand, the Foreign Flame instantly spread over her entire body, even further expanding to cover a three-zhang radius.

At the same time, her hands formed seals, and she began to perform the Nine Changes of Immortal Fire.

"Indeed, it’s a Foreign Flame."

Gu Yue Fangyuan, with a hint of excitement, muttered to himself, "If I could refine it, it would certainly be excellent. However, she’s somewhat extraordinary, so I’ll have to go to some lengths."

"Corpse-Splitting Toadflax."

Flicking his finger, countless toadflax that were invisible to the naked eye and even divine sense flew out, surrounding Xiao Ling'er.

Crackling.

Almost simultaneously, sparks appeared within the Foreign Flame, burning and killing the toadflax. However, the number of sparks kept growing.

"Foreign Flame is good."

"But it has its limits."

Gu Yue Fangyuan muttered, and with a wave of his hand, a mist spread.

"Unfortunately, my current strength is too low, I can only use these toadflax, but it should be enough, right?"

...

"Be careful."

The Medicine Elder’s voice was somewhat grave, "This opponent surpasses any you have faced before!"

"Yes, Elder."

"In this point, from his ability to mix it up with Long Aotian, one can analyze his capabilities. So, the Disciple won’t be careless."

His voice had barely faded when Xiao Ling'er’s aura surged.

"First Change of the Nine Changes of Immortal Fire!"

"Second Change!"

"Third Change!"

Boom!

The range of the Foreign Flame instantly expanded several times, the oncoming toadflax all burned to death, not a single one left!

Even if they were too small to be seen by the naked eye or divine sense, they couldn’t breach the sea of flames!

"Oh?"

"Are you starting to take this seriously?"

Gu Yue Fangyuan raised an eyebrow, "But, what then?"

He clenched his fist.

The mist shrank, instantly forming a massive sphere that smashed towards Xiao Ling'er.

The giant sphere entered the sea of flames, instantly detonating.

But the detonation was only on the outer layer, even as it kept peeling off, the inner toadflax remained lively and vigorous.

"Sword Eight, Mystic."

Xiao Ling'er was completely covered in flames, even her eyes had flames rising and burning.

The Spirit Cloud Sword pierced out, tearing the toadflax apart, the sword light undiminished, directly forcing its way to Gu Yue Fangyuan’s face!

The surrounding Talents were all startled.

The various Holy Sons straightened their bodies, their faces grave.

They could tell that these two were not weak!

One could even say...

Very strong!

"As expected, it's not that easy."

"Then..."

"Let's get serious."

Gu Yue Fangyuan didn't take it seriously, but his body, pierced and torn by sword energy, quickly recondensed.

Boom!

He punched the ground, and beneath Xiao Ling'er's feet, it was as if the mountains were collapsing and the earth was cracking. The ground exploded, and a black ghostly face instantly bit and tore its way out from the ground.

"Demon Cultivator's methods?!"

Xiao Ling'er frowned and used Thunder Move Three Thousand to dodge, then launched an offensive to deal with it.

"Ai, you're so fast, ya."

Gu Yue Fangyuan muttered and attacked again.

Whoosh!

The fierce wind blew in their faces.

At this moment, everyone was shocked.

"What is that?!"

"A... big demon?!"

"A Feather Clan Great Power?!"

"Damn, why is there a Feather Clan Great Power intruding here?!"

"Could it be that they're here to chase and kill Long Aotian?!"

"No, that's not right!"

Many Talents didn't see the problem and wanted to escape.

But those Holy Son-level figures immediately saw the truth: "This is not a Demon Clan Great Power! It has a body but no soul, this is... a puppet?!"

"Wrong."

As Gu Yue Fangyuan waved his hand, two Feather Clan Great Demons charged forward, and he shook his head and said, "It's a Demon Toadflax!"

"What puppet?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Demon Toadflax?"

"Who is this person? What's his background?!"

Even with two Great Demons, both at the Fifth Level of the Sixth Level, besieging him, Xiao Ling'er, for a while, could only hastily dodge and struggled to counterattack.

Finally finding an opportunity to use Great Sun Burning Heaven, but they also dodged with astonishing speed, barely being affected, but their physical strength left them unharmed.

"Not good."

Huo Yun'er clenched her fists, especially worried: "Ling'er is in danger!"

"This... this strange guy, is actually so strong?!" Sword Son was surprised.

Wang Teng's eyes almost popped out.

He knew that his senior sister was very powerful, and he also knew about her Invincible Technique, but Gu Yue Fangyuan was simply a freak!

"Demon Toadflax methods, Demon Cultivator's methods, controlling Great Demons... what's his background?!"

"Don't panic."

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes.

Gu Yue Fangyuan's strength, and the two Demon Toadflax, were beyond his expectations.

The main reason was that these two Demon Toadflax were incredibly strong.

Logically, they shouldn't be something Gu Yue Fangyuan should possess at this stage.

"Long Aotian?"

He suddenly remembered Gu Yue Fangyuan's actions with Long Aotian a moment ago, as if he wanted to kill those two Protectors and then refine the Demon Toadflax.

"No wonder he's following Long Aotian."

Lu Ming instantly realized.

"Just wanting to defeat Xiao Ling'er like this?"

"Probably not enough."

A smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

...

The scene was filled with danger.

Xiao Ling'er used Thunder Move Three Thousand to its limit, and even grew a pair of 'wings'.

It was Essence Qi Wings! She even used the Three Thousand Thunder Illusory Body several times, but still couldn't gain an effective counterattack, only able to dodge and defend...

Pop.

Suddenly, a clear sound, like a bursting bubble.

Xiao Ling'er's expression changed instantly.

Her Foreign Flame defense had been broken?

Behind her, Gu Yue Fangyuan's voice, half-smiling, half-serious, sounded: "I've caught you."

"!"

In an instant, a chill rushed into her mind.

Xiao Ling'er was almost frozen.

"Old... Teacher..."

"Hand it over to me."

Medicine Elder took a deep breath, then took over and comforted her: "Don't blame yourself, this child is evil, very abnormal. Your accumulation is still too little. With some more time, you will definitely not be weaker than her."

At this moment.

Gu Yue Fangyuan's palm, which was pressing on Xiao Ling'er's back, lost its smile.

"Hmm?"

"Not right!"

He sensed something amiss and flew back.

Boom!!!

A flame-like giant hand suddenly grew out of Xiao Ling'er's back. Someone with sharp eyes noticed a purple smoke in the palm...

The flame hand's attack was fierce, forcing Gu Yue Fangyuan to use the Body-Splitting Toadflax several times to barely dodge.

For a while, he was uncertain, not daring to approach casually, but instead driving the Demon Toadflax forward, wanting to continue to wear him down.

But...

Medicine Elder didn't give him the chance.

In the blink of an eye, a beautiful and magnificent illusory lotus appeared in Xiao Ling'er's palm.

As the two Feather Clan Great Demons charged forward, she softly said: "Buddha's Wrath Lotus..."

"Boom!"

The lotus instantly bloomed and expanded a thousand times.

Medicine Elder, controlling Xiao Ling'er, flew back.

But those two Great Demons, were hit by the Fire Emperor's Great Move.

Even though they were Demon Toadflax without pain or thought, they went crazy at this moment, suffering severe damage!

"This?!"

Even Long Aotian was shocked by this scene, and Tang Wu's heart and soul were shaken.

Ice Emperor muttered: "This girl's state is not right."

"What's wrong?"

"Probably..."

"There's also a Remnant Soul in her body!"

"What?"

Tang Wu narrowed his eyes: "She also..."

Jealousy!

Annoyed.

Why does she get the same treatment as me?

Who does she think she is?! And she's so strong!!!

At this moment, her combat strength was even stronger than when his foster father was possessing him. Why is she stronger than me?!

"Tang Wu, my child."

Ice Emperor was quite excited at this moment: "Don't you lack a Martial Soul?"

"And the Moonseizing Sect wants you to kill the person who trapped and killed the Moonseizing Sect's people. If you can trap and kill Xiao Ling'er and take the Remnant Soul in her body, I, as your father, will help you refine it into your second Martial Soul!"

"That Remnant Soul must have been from an extremely terrifying Great Power. If you succeed, your strength will definitely skyrocket!"

"!!!"

Tang Wu was shocked: "Father means, a person's Remnant Soul can be a Martial Soul?

"It's just a soul body, what's the problem?"

Tang Wu's eyes lit up with understanding. "So that's it..."

"I see."

In the arena, Gu Yue Fangyuan looked at the two severely damaged Demon Toadflaxes with a pained expression. She quickly collected them and then stared at Xiao Ling'er from a distance, puzzled. "Why did you suddenly become so powerful?"

"It's just a secret technique."

"You..."

Gu Yue Fangyuan wanted to retort.

What kind of secret technique is this? It allowed you to instantly surge from the Fifth Realm's fifth or sixth level to such formidable power?

I could accept it if it happened once, twice, or even three times.

But you had a fifth surge, and this fifth surge was even more terrifying than the combined increase of the previous four!

Xiao Ling'er didn't give him another chance to speak and attacked again, intending to finish her off.

But...

Long Aotian stepped forward at this moment, blocking Gu Yue Fangyuan. "He conceded."

Gu Yue Fangyuan frowned. "I didn't concede!"

"You can't beat her."

Long Aotian spoke calmly. "Do you want to die?"

Gu Yue Fangyuan fell silent.

He then flew away from the platform.

"Your condition is a bit strange, but undeniably powerful. You should be able to give me a satisfying battle. Are you up for it?" Long Aotian chuckled. "That Fan Jianqiang has been boasting about how strong you are, calling you a peerless talent. Now, I believe him."

"I used to disregard such claims, but at this moment, I trust him."

"We're old acquaintances. Come, give it your all and let me have a satisfying fight!"

"..."

Lu Ming appeared silently on the platform.

Wang Teng also made his move.

He landed behind Long Aotian, holding a dazzling sphere of light in his hand. Within it, a terrifying high temperature spread, capturing everyone's attention.

"Let's fight together. What's there to fear?"

Long Aotian remained arrogant.

A great battle was about to unfold.

"..."

"Let's end this here."

Suddenly, Princess Qi spoke up.

She sighed, "It's getting late, and continuing the fight might sour our friendship."

Her sudden words surprised everyone.

She was the one who initiated the conflict, bringing Xiao Ling'er into the fight.

Just as a fierce battle was about to erupt, she was the one who stopped it.

What was she thinking?

"Long brother, that's enough. There's no need to go overboard," Lu Ming chuckled.

"Who are you?"

Long Aotian glared at Lu Ming, his expression turning cold.

"I am Lu Ming, a nameless soldier."

"A nameless soldier dares to intervene at this moment. Those Holy Sons present wouldn't dare to show themselves before me, but you..." Long Aotian said, his voice trailing off.

"You're stronger than them."

He spoke with certainty.

Lu Ming scratched his head. "Maybe I'm just brave?"

"You're saying I'm stronger than you?" Long Aotian didn't believe it.

The Holy Sons frowned simultaneously.

They silently cursed Long Aotian for being foolish.

How could he think Lu Ming was stronger without even seeing him fight?

Don't we have any face?

"Lu Ming, I'll remember you," Long Aotian waved his hand and added, "The timing isn't right today. I have important matters to attend to. In the future, I'll make you regret your impulsiveness."

"Then, I'll await your challenge."

Lu Ming responded softly.

Jian Zi stepped forward and said, "You're not scared, are you?"

"I'm not afraid of a one-on-three fight."

"But the night is almost over. Don't forget that a beauty is waiting for me to favor."

Long Aotian showed disdain. "If you're not convinced, tomorrow, I'll fight all four of you!"

"You're all talk."

Wang Teng didn't believe him, and he also felt a bit disappointed.

Why did they stop fighting?

I had already prepared my Artificial Sun Fist!

The Heaven's Pride Grand Assembly gradually dispersed.

Many talents felt heavy-hearted.

The Holy Sons and Holy Daughters from various sects were particularly displeased.

They had all been humiliated by the same person for no reason, and it was a strange occurrence.

Among them, Lu Zhicai was the most affected.

He wasn't humiliated, but many people looked down on him...

Despite winning two battles, he was perceived as the most pitiful one, without a doubt.

Tang Wu refrained from making any more threats, choosing to leave quietly for once. However, the glint in his eyes clearly showed that his heart was not at peace.

Xiao Ling'er's strength also surprised everyone.

Although Lu Ming didn't fight, he gained Long Aotian's recognition, causing many talents to remember his name.

The Heaven's Pride Grand Assembly attracted a lot of attention.

The news quickly spread through the efforts of those who were paying attention, causing countless people to marvel at it.

Upon returning to their temporary residence, Xiao Ling'er exclaimed, "Teacher, you're so powerful!"

"Your strength has been increasing, and you've also refined some pills to nurture your soul. That's why I was able to display such overwhelming power just now," the Medicine Elder explained. "That Buddha's Wrath Lotus is indeed remarkable. Although its range is not as vast as the Great Sun Burning Heaven, its power is even stronger by two degrees."

"If I hadn't borrowed your body and used the Buddha's Wrath Lotus, it would have been difficult to win with just my remnant soul."

"Achieving such overwhelming power would have been absolutely impossible."

The Medicine Elder felt a mix of emotions.

On one hand, she felt nostalgic for controlling a physical body.

On the other hand, she was excited.

Using four foreign flames at once was truly exhilarating.

"It's all thanks to your excellent teaching," Xiao Ling'er praised.

However, at the same time, a shadow of concern fell over her heart.

That Gu Yue Fangyuan...

He was so strong!

And strangely powerful...

"I need to think of a plan."

The bright moon hung high, and Lu Ming's thoughts raced.

...

At dawn, Princess Qi's escorts noticed her absence.

"Your Highness... Where is she?!"
