Ancient Taoist Sovereign - C158

“What?”

Before Xiang Shaolong even finished his sentence, his face turned even uglier, as though he had suffered a huge blow.

At that time, Chu Ling suddenly spread open both his hands, and the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth roared, forming a vortex above Chu Ling’s head, and started to surge into his body.

“This … Is his cultivation about to break through?”

“That shouldn’t be the case, when this Chu Ling just arrived at Xiang Huai City, his cultivation was only at the Ninth Level of Vein Opening Stage, how many days has it been since then, and he’s already about to break through again?”

“How many days? It seems like it’s only been half a month. ”

“Oh my god, in half a month’s time, he actually went from the Ninth Level of Vein Opening Stage to the current seven stages of Heaven Understanding Stage, is he even human?”

Everyone started to beat their chests and stomp their feet as they spoke, looking at Chu Ling with eyes filled with jealousy and envy.

“Sigh, Chu Ling’s Heaven Understanding Stage is only at the sixth level, but he’s already able to defeat Xiang Shaolong, who’s at the eighth level of the Heaven Understanding Stage. Then after his breakthrough, if he were to face a cultivator at the seventh level of the Heaven Understanding Stage, wouldn’t that be a complete massacre?”

“Aren’t you talking nonsense? For me to be able to achieve a breakthrough in battle, that would mean that I wasn’t able to focus all of my attention when I fought against Xiang Shaolong previously. For people like you with the seventh stage of the Heaven Understanding Stage, even if I let you handle one of your hands, you wouldn’t be a match for me. ”

When the Great Crow saw this, it could only silently curse at Xiang Shaolong for being wicked, and then focus its energy even more as it looked at Xiang Shaolong’s Storage Bag.

“I can’t do it, I can’t do it, this wicked thing is much stronger than me right now, looks like I have to work hard, otherwise, I won’t be able to get the Storage Bag in the future.” The Great Crow said to herself in her heart.

As for Deng Yiyue and Princess Qian Qian, they were already completely impressed by Chu Ling at the moment. They, who were originally somewhat amazed by Chu Ling’s speed of growth, now suspected that the Chu Ling in front of their eyes was actually the trash who was looked down upon by everyone in the Guiyuan Sect back then.

And at that time, Xiang Shaolong had already forgotten to resist, he could only blankly stare at Chu Ling who was in the midst of a breakthrough, in a daze.

As a genius in the eyes of others, he currently felt a deep sense of powerlessness towards Chu Ling, and even regretted offending Chu Ling. He was even more regretful of the fact that he did not listen to Nangong Qing’s words back then, and did not even use his Pill Flame Sect or the fact that he had thrown Deng Yiyue out as a threat.

However, the current him no longer had the chance to regret it because he had broken through the seventh level of the Heaven Understanding Stage, so it wouldn’t take too long for him to communicate the energy of heaven and earth. At most, it would only take a few breaths’ time.

When that time came, forget about the heavily injured him, even if he was at his peak, he would not be able to escape in the slightest after being restrained by Chu Ling with his dragon claw.

But at the same time, at the place where Chu Ling and Yue Shan were fighting in the ravine, a shadow suddenly floated out and in that instant, a pitch black dagger pierced towards Chu Ling’s back.

Although there was not even a trace of Qi aura around, no one doubted that if the sword had pierced down, Chu Ling would have died on the spot.

After all, that person’s reputation was truly too great.

At that time, Xiang Shaolong’s heart, which had originally been disheartened, was suddenly revived, and the moment he saw the shadow take action, he knew that he would not die today.

Regardless of whether it was an instant before or a moment after, Chu Ling could have stopped, but just at that moment, when Chu Ling was about to break the barrier between heaven and earth, he was unable to move at all.

Forget about the fact that the one who took action was the number one Heaven’s Pride of the Hua Clan, the Hua Shen Road, which was the most skilled at assassination in the entire Xiang Huai City. Even if it was an ordinary Heaven Understanding Stage cultivator, as long as he could grasp this opportunity, Chu Ling would definitely die.

And at that time, Chu Ling, who should have been incomparably terrified, did not have the slightest hint of fear on his face. Instead, the corners of his mouth rose slightly as he roared in a low voice, “Even a fish has been hooked, are you still not going to make a move?”

After Chu Ling finished speaking, Xiang Shaolong started laughing out loud. After all, in his opinion, the current Chu Ling was just pretending to be calm to scare people off.

It would have been fine if Hua Shou had been an ordinary person, but as the number one heaven’s pride level expert of the Hua Clan, how could he, who had participated in the assassination of Dragon Transformantion Stage cultivators, be intimidated by such words?

Just as Xiang Shaolong was thinking of this, a sword aura streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning, causing everyone’s eyes to narrow.

Following that, a loud bang sounded out beside everyone’s ears, and the expression on Xiang Shaolong, who was originally laughing loudly, suddenly froze.

And the Mo Sword that was originally aimed at the center of Chu Ling’s back was also directly split apart by the sword light. Even though there was a cut on Chu Ling’s arm, the assassination had still failed.

Then, in a flash, a rumbling sound came out from Chu Ling’s body, and after that, Chu Ling felt that there seemed to be an endless amount of Spiritual Energy in his body, as long as he consumed even a little of it, it would be replenished very quickly.

However, he did not ponder over it too deeply. Instead, he turned around and chopped at his back with his blade without even looking back.

As a result, the China Divine Road, which was originally not proficient at fighting head-on, was directly sent flying by Chu Ling’s blade, both of his feet leaving behind deep fissures in the ground.

Chu Ling was not in a hurry to give chase. After all, although this was the first time he had exchanged blows with the China God’s Road, he knew that the China God’s Road was good at assassinating and escaping. Even though his last blade strike looked tyrannical and peerless, it did not truly injure the Hua God’s Road.

However, even though Chu Ling felt somewhat regretful in his heart, he was not angry.

With that in mind, Chu Ling swallowed a Pill and threw it towards a man who stood far away with an ordinary appearance. Although his body was swaying weakly, he still held onto his sword tightly.

The man’s name was Chai Yangyu. He was a Young Lord of the Scarlet Dragon Sect, a genius similar to Xiang Shaolong.

Come to think of it, when they were on Fuyi Mountain, if not for Chai Yangyu, it would have been difficult for him to obtain a placing in the Hundred Sect Competition.

Cai Jinchuan and the others from before had originally come chasing after Chai Yangyu, but because they were greedy for the purple gold Pill Furnace, they were killed by Chu Ling.

However, at that time, Chu Ling still did not know of Chai Yangyu’s existence. It was only when Xiang Shaolong appeared that Chu Ling found out that he had been hiding here the entire time.

It was just that even Chu Ling did not expect that he would win so easily against Xiang Shaolong.

Therefore, even though Chu Ling knew that breaking through here would be dangerous, she still made the breakthrough without hesitation. Her goal was to see who else wanted to kill him.

However, it was a pity that although the fish had been caught, it had not been pulled ashore in the end.

“Chu Ling, let Xiang Shaolong go, I can call off the grievances between us!”
