Chapter 42: Rescuing the Great Elder, Alas a Powerful Enemy (Two updates today)
The night passed quietly in meditation, and before I knew it, the next day had arrived.
"Unfeeling, let's go." I called out to Unfeeling, who was in the midst of cultivation.
"Alright!" In order to avoid startling the royal family, I and Wu Qing decided to drive to the royal residence in a normal manner. On the way, Wu Qing asked...
"Big brother, what state are you in now?"
"I? If I were to be ranked according to the Cultivation Realm's standards, I should be in the Late Stage of Crossing Calamity by now. It's just that I don't need to go through the Heavenly Tribulation." I said calmly.
"Ah, isn't that great for the boss? No need to go through the heavenly tribulation, poor me still has to go through it." In one night of cultivation, Wuqing had completely grasped the knowledge of the Xiuzhen world.
"What I've experienced is a heavenly calamity." I said with an oath that would not be broken. Wu Qing's eyes widened even larger than a cow's after hearing my words, but then he burst out laughing and said...
"The great is always the great, having experienced all kinds of tribulations. My admiration for you is like the endless Yangtze River, and also like the Yellow River's waters overflowing uncontrollably... Alas, it's easy to change one's circumstances but hard to change one's nature. Although Wu Qing has already reached the stage of escaping from the mortal world as a cultivator, this bad habit still can't be changed."
"Haha... drive carefully then." I said, closing my eyes and falling silent. But in reality, I was thinking to myself, the War God told me that my tribulation would take place in the Immortal Realm, so how am I supposed to get there? Maybe someone in the Cultivation Realm knows? Thinking of the Cultivation Realm made me think of my grandfather's vendetta, it seems like after I've settled things with the Wang family, I should also find some time to visit the six major sects of the Cultivation Realm. Just as I was lost in thought, Wu Qing suddenly slammed on the brakes.
"Boss, we're here."
"We've arrived, so what's with the sudden brake?" I said somewhat unhappily. Insensitive cut off my train of thought with a single sentence. Insensitive shrugged and made a helpless gesture.
"Come on, go in."
"Ah Tian, you've finally arrived. Ever since that day you left, I've been thinking about you day and night." As we walked into the Wang residence, Wang Bo seemed to have anticipated our visit and hurried out to greet us.
"Heh heh, don't be afraid, you're the master of the Wang family now, what's troubling your mind?" I responded coldly. Wu Qing stood behind me silently, but from his expression, it was clear that if Wang Bo made any wrong move, Wu Qing's ruthless sword would chop him into pieces in an instant. I used my eyes to stop Wu Qing and continued speaking.
"Wang Bo, I suppose you're already quite clear about the purpose of our visit this time. Let's not beat around the bush. Call out the elder, otherwise..."
"Haha, Ao Tian, don't think you're the number one master of the 'Second World', in reality, you're just a top-notch expert. Let me tell you, I, Ba Shi Tian Xia, have never taken you seriously. Last time was because my father was present, so I couldn't do anything about it, but now it's different. I've already imprisoned that old codger. The current royal family is mine to command, what can you do to fight me?" Upon hearing Wang Bo's words, I suddenly realized that I had been too careless and had underestimated him last time.
"Haha, I see. Well, go ahead and try then. Let's see if I have the capital to fight with you." As I said that, I stood aside and gave Wu Qing a signal.
"Wang Bo, don't you remember who I am?" Wu Qing stood there with an expressionless face and said. A strong aura was instantly emitted, as if Wang Bo had been forced to approach him.
"Remember, the heir of the Murong family? How did you end up becoming someone's lackey?" Wang Bo was taken aback despite his boastful words, when did Murong Ping become so formidable?
"Hehe, you don't have to mock me. I was born as the eldest and will die as the eldest ghost. However, I am still stronger than some people who surrendered to the Demon Clan and became their puppet." Upon hearing Wu Qing's words, my heart warmed up a bit, but when he mentioned the Demon Clan later on, I secretly blamed Wu Qing for being too careless.
"Nonsense! How could I, Wang Bo, possibly know the Demon Clan?" Wang Bo said with a sly tone. From his panicked and disheveled eyes, I already understood that Wang Bo indeed had connections with the Demon Clan.
"Using strong words to seize reason, no need to say more, Elder, will you hand it over or not?"
"What can you do to me if I don't cooperate with you?" Wang Bo said, suppressing the panic in his heart.
"I won't be polite then." Wu Qing summoned the Wu Yue Tian Jian from his body. With a faint smile, he pointed to the sky with his right hand, and the Wu Yue Tian Jian suddenly flew out of his body, shooting straight at Wang Bo. Wang Bo let out a strange cry, instantly moving six feet away to avoid Wu Qing's flying sword. At the same time, he cursed loudly, "Good, you dare to ambush me, see how I'll deal with you." After finishing speaking, a large black knife appeared in his hand, charging towards Wu Qing.
He smiled faintly, revealing a hint of strange light in his eyes. With a slight movement of his toes, he rose into the air. At the same moment, his long sword spun around and appeared under his feet. He lightly landed on the sword, and with a burst of speed, broke through the roof and shot towards the sky. The speed was astonishingly fast. Wang Bo shouted loudly and also rose into the air to chase after him. In an instant, the two figures vanished from their original location. It seemed that this Wang Bo was also a cultivator; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to rise into the air.
After the two left, I was about to search for Wang's family to rescue the elder when a figure slowly emerged from the void, wearing white clothes like snow. The gentle breeze rustled her long white skirt, making her look like a wind-blown snow lotus, pure and untainted. The woman's clear eyes gazed at me calmly, without any emotional fluctuations.
At this moment, I stared at the girl in front of me and was stunned. Her white clothes were as snowy, her figure was as ethereal as a fairy, her clear and cold eyes had a hint of shallowness. What a face it was, as cold as a winter night moon, as noble as a snow lotus flower, with delicate features, beautiful complexion, skin as white as jade, slender figure, everything indicated that this was an extremely beautiful girl rarely found in the world. With the age of a flower, she had a temperament as elegant as a fairy, her bright eyes contained saintliness and loneliness. A sword emitting a pale purple glow quietly revolved above her head, like a protective umbrella, firmly protecting her inside.
She didn't wait for me to speak, and saw the girl put the treasure sword back in her hand, silently reciting a "Purple Pupil Sword Decision". Her figure suddenly disappeared, only to see that long sword purple light flashed, a dazzling purple flame like a purple dragon, with an extremely strong momentum, instantly appeared in front of me. I hastily pushed out my palms, and instantly turned the Wu Wei Heart Method, a seemingly existing protective aura appeared around my body. Hardly received the opponent's powerful sword. The sword energy and the protective mask met, and an explosion occurred immediately. The hall of the Wang family was destroyed by this extremely powerful sword energy, and a vacant lot of several square meters suddenly appeared. Branches and debris flew everywhere, and a deep pit quietly appeared there, very frightening.
I retreated several feet, shouting loudly: "Who is it? Why are you attacking me without reason? Come out quickly!" There was no response, and another even stronger sword energy struck again, instantly breaking through the protective aura outside my body. At this moment, my face changed slightly, and my body disappeared in an instant, reappearing above the sky of the Wang family's residence the next moment.
"In the lower dragon, I don't know what kind of expert it is. Can you come out and see me?" I stood in mid-air and continued to speak towards the direction where the sword energy was coming from. But the other party seemed not to have heard my words, continuing to attack me. For this hidden opponent, I was extremely surprised in my heart. The other party's cultivation was very strong, their swordsmanship was extremely skilled, it was one of the most powerful people I had ever seen, except for Wu Qing. Being attacked like this all the time, my heart was definitely not happy. At this moment, I activated the Wu Wei Xixin Heart Method, a blue light appeared and disappeared around my body, and the surrounding yuanqi seemed to be mobilized by me as well. I quietly released part of my spiritual sense to detect any hidden objects in the surroundings. Very quickly, I found out the hidden woman, unfortunately, her speed was too fast, and I couldn't see her face clearly."
Just as I was about to ask again, the opponent launched another powerful attack. This time, the offensive was so fierce that it instantly shattered my probing heart god outside, and at this moment, I was extremely angry in my heart, and since I came out of the Blood Hell, I had never been so humiliated. The Wu Wei Heart Method rotated to its extreme, and I silently recited the first move of the Wu Wei Fa Jue, "Xiao Yao Wu Wei", and the energy was instantly released, hoping to stop the opponent's attack. Unfortunately, that woman's offensive was very strong, and the overbearing sword energy actually forced me to retreat. It seems that I need to think of another way to deal with it. I remember when I recovered my memory, I saw the sword in Xiang Yang Sheng's hand, which is still vividly remembered now. The War God said that the Golden Dragon in my body was that sword, but unfortunately, my current cultivation is not enough to awaken the Golden Dragon. However, I can use Yuan Qi to simulate a sword. I don't believe there is anyone in this world who is my opponent, and the reason why it's like this is because I didn't have a weapon. I remember that the seniors in the Blood Hell reminded me of this, but I always relied on my strong cultivation without using a weapon. However, now it seems that I am not allowed to do so. So I thought of doing it, and instantly released the Ben Ming Yuan Qi in my body, guiding the surrounding Yuan Qi to resonate, and a Yuan Qi simulated crystal long sword also appeared in my hand. The shape was exactly the same as the sword in Xiang Yang Sheng's hand.
"Come on, if you want to kill me, then you must have enough powerful strength." At this time, I was full of vigor and shouted towards the direction where the sword energy was coming from.
