70: C70 Three Moves Promise

C70 Three Moves Promise

Under the lead of the grey-robed old man, the two of them passed through the trading and storage areas of Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion and arrived at an extremely quiet courtyard. This place was filled with elegant bamboo. A gentle breeze blew past and produced a soft rustling sound.

After bypassing the bamboo forest, Luo Tongtian saw the guards that accompanied Lyu Ying to the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion.

"Young Master Luo, they detained Miss Lyu Ying. You have to save her."

"Lord Guest, these guys from the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion are extremely audacious. You have to help us."

Many of the guards were placed under house arrest. They were already full of anger. When they saw Luo Tongtian, all of them started shouting.

"Everyone has suffered!"

"This time, the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion has detained the people of the Goose Wind Castle for no reason. They must give us an explanation."

Luo Tongtian nodded at everyone, and his tone was firm.

"Let them go!"

"Let him go!"

After the guards of Goose Wind Castle received Luo Tongtian's confirmation, they couldn't help but shout in unison.

The grey-robed elder remained calm. He passed through the crowd and came to the backyard. He stopped in front of a simple wooden house and said, "An old friend of mine is waiting for you. I hope you can have a pleasant conversation."

After hearing this, Luo Tongtian felt a little puzzled.

However, he was bold and skilled. He was eager to save Lyu Ying, so he stepped into the wooden house without hesitation.

The furnishings in the wooden house were very simple. There was a bed, a few hassocks, and two people sitting on the hassock.

Lyu Ying was chatting with a woman who was hidden in a black robe. When she saw Luo Tongtian enter, she quickly stood up and greeted him, "Young Master, you are here?"

"Are you alright?"

Luo Tongtian went forward and held her hand. He looked her up and down and said.

"Of course I'm fine. Granny said she was a little lonely and wanted me to chat with her."

Lyu Ying's little hand was held by Luo Tongtian. Her face was full of shyness. She tried her best to calm her mood and explained the current situation. She even subconsciously looked at the black-clothed woman.

Following her gaze, Luo Tongtian looked at the woman.

Her eyes were deep blue, like an incomparably vast ocean. They were filled with a strange halo that made him sink into it.

He took a deep breath and borrowed the power of Quiet Lake to barely escape from her gaze.

Although both of them only exchanged a glance, Luo Tongtian immediately concluded that this mysterious woman was also a martial arts expert. Her strength seemed to be above that grey-robed elder.

"You really do have the Qi of water on your body!"

The black-clothed woman looked at Luo Tongtian as if she was looking at a rare treasure.

"Why did you lure me here?"

Luo Tongtian raised his eyebrows and asked with caution.

"How about we make a deal?"

The black-clothed woman said as she stretched out a white palm that was well maintained. When that palm opened, it revealed two shiny Holy Essence Pill.

"It's actually a Holy Essence Pill?"

Luo Tongtian's expression changed slightly when he suddenly saw the two medicinal pills that he dreamed of.

"That's right. As long as you give me the item that can emit water vapor, these two Holy Essence Pill will be yours."

The black-clothed woman's voice was crisp and pleasant, like the sound of a jade tray dripping water.

Luo Tongtian's heart shivered when he heard this, and he pretended to be indifferent as he asked, "How can you be sure that I have an item that can release water vapor on me?"

"Haha, you're very childish when you speak."

"Let me ask you, you're just a small Rank Eight Warrior. What right do you have to make large quantities of water Power Pattern Origin Artifact? And what right do you have to escape from my old woman's Jade-Water Cage?"

The black-clothed woman narrowed her eyes and asked Luo Tongtian back.

"Could it be... you are the legendary alchemist?"

Luo Tongtian suddenly remembered the Holy Essence Pill that appeared in the auction and asked with a frown.

"You are very smart, but sometimes it will be bad for you if you know too many things."

"I hope you don't try to change the topic. It is better for us to continue discussing our deal."

His words seemed to have angered the woman in black. Her eyes flashed with a fierce cold light.

"That's only your wishful thinking. I don't have what you said, and I won't trade with you."

Facing the girl's overbearing attitude, Luo Tongtian sneered and shouted with narrowed eyes.

"Don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit. There's nothing that I, this old hag, can't get."

The eyes of the woman in black turned cold once again. The threat in her words was getting stronger and stronger.

"Is that so? If I don't want to do something, others can forget about forcing me."

The Quiet Lake was a supreme treasure that Luo Tongtian relied on to survive and grow. Naturally, he wouldn't hand it over.

"If that's the case, then I won't be polite anymore."

Following a delicate shout, a jade-green water wave rushed towards Luo Tongtian.

Lyu Ying, who was standing at the side, wanted to step forward to stop him, but she was wrapped up by a rippling water bubble that came out of the black-clothed woman's hand. The surrounding water pressure suppressed her body, making her mouth unable to speak and her body unable to move.

Luo Tongtian, who was already prepared, took out ten top water elemental artifacts and formed a powerful Ten Evolutions Defense Array in front of him. At the same time, he also burned three thousand Origin Energy Pill, forming a blue light water dragon that counterattacked the black-clothed woman.

That water wave looked beautiful, but it contained an extremely terrifying power.

It slammed into the Ten Evolutions Formation and retreated rapidly. The surface of the formation even produced a series of creaking sounds.

Luo Tongtian used all his strength to block the retreating Ten Evolutions Formation. The water wave hit the Ten Evolutions Formation twice, sending him and his shield flying backwards.

As for the blue light water dragon that he sent out, it was easily destroyed by the black-clothed woman in the sky.

Luo Tongtian broke through the wooden house and fell into the yard, blood flowing out of the corner of his mouth. Ten top water elemental artifacts fell to the ground, looking very pathetic.

"Sigh, this old hag has always had a bad temper. You'd better not make him angry."

When the grey-robed elder who was waiting in the courtyard saw this scene, he could not help but slowly shake his head.

"Hmph, you unreasonable old hag. Relying on your own strength and high rank to bully me, what kind of ability do you have?"

Luo Tongtian ignored him. He stood up and pointed at the wooden house and scolded.

"I, the old hag, have high level of strength. Even if I want to bully you, what can you do about it?"

The woman in black slowly walked out. Her slender eyes were full of contempt.

"My patience has a limit. I will ask you one last time. Do you agree or not?"

Her sharp voice echoed in the sky, filled with the arrogance and despotism of her master.

"I have seen countless people, but I have never seen someone like you who keeps begging for money."

"But seeing that you did not harm Lyu Ying, I will give you a chance. If you can defeat me in three moves, I will give you that item on my body for free."

Luo Tongtian took a deep breath and pondered for a long time before saying with a solemn expression.

"Oh, is this the opportunity you mentioned?"

"Haha, you can't be scared silly, right? What's the difference between this and giving it away for free?"

When the woman in black heard this, she couldn't help but laugh complacently.

"If you win, I'll naturally give you the item."

"But I still want to ask, what if you can't beat me?"

Luo Tongtian ignored the black-clothed woman's arrogance and asked in a serious manner.

"I know that you still have some tricks up your sleeve, but even if you take out that Quasi Melody Martial Astral Combat Weapon, you are still no match for me. I advise you to hand it over as soon as possible."

The black-clothed woman coldly harrumphed, and the disdain on her face became even thicker.

Luo Tongtian's eyes were fixed on the black-clothed woman, and the determination in his eyes didn't change at all.

"Hmph, you brat think too highly of yourself. If this old hag can't even defeat a puny Eighth Grade Warrior within three moves, then I will do as you wish."

The black-clothed woman cried out snappily.

"Honolulu..."

The grey-robed elder couldn't help but exclaim when he saw her speak in such a manner.

"What? Are you afraid that I won't be able to defeat this kid?"

The black-clothed woman turned her head and rolled her eyes at him. Her face was filled with impatience.

"Alright, the agreement has been reached!"

"We'll use three moves as the agreement. The things you win will belong to you, the people you can't beat will belong to me."

Luo Tongtian clapped his hands and said to the woman in black.

"Brat, you dare to eat my tofu?"

When the woman in black heard this, her beautiful hair stood on end and she was about to explode.

"Don't misunderstand. What I mean is, if you lose, you will be my loyal servant for the rest of your life."

Luo Tongtian smiled and explained.

"Hmph, you still want to enslave me? Watch me break your legs later."

In her anger, the black-clothed woman's eyes shone with a cold light.

"Hey, it seems like you're quite a good person. Can you be our witness?"

Luo Tongtian was still a little worried. He turned his head and shouted at the grey-robed elder.

"That's not necessary. Honolulu always keeps her word. If you can really take three strikes from her, she will definitely fulfill her promise."

The grey-robed elder shook his head and said.

"Kid, can we start now?"

The black-clothed woman somewhat disdained Luo Tongtian's performance and called out snappily.

"Yes, but I hope you can keep your promise."

Luo Tongtian shrugged his shoulders and a trace of a smile flashed across his face.

"Don't be so proud of yourself. I'll make sure you won't be able to smile later."

The black-clothed woman sneered and stretched out her right hand. Her five fingers spread open and started twisting in the void.

Violent water power broke through the void and formed an extremely terrifying whirlpool that swept towards Luo Tongtian.

The color of the sky and the earth changed as soon as this move was made. The entire courtyard was filled with thick fog. The gigantic azure whirlpool was twisting and rolling, faintly visible in the fog, just like an ancient giant monster.

Facing this incomparably powerful attack, Luo Tongtian felt that all of his techniques were pale and powerless. No matter what methods he used, he would be swallowed by this vortex in the end.

However, he still chose to believe the words of that old man.

Because at this time, only that Water King Ring could save him.

He used the power of Quiet Lake to activate the Water King Ring. A sparkling green protective spiritual dragon appeared once again.

Under the high-speed rotation of the vortex, a violent wind blew, and the air distorted. The entire heaven and earth became dark and gloomy.

The huge rocks on the ground, the bamboo forest, and even the sheds in the courtyard were swept away. However, Luo Tongtian stood still like a rock. When the vortex came into contact with the protective spiritual dragon, it bounced back.

"What a strong water defense! Swallow him!"

The black-clothed woman frowned slightly. She controlled the vortex to descend from the sky and swallow Luo Tongtian whole.

For a moment, the water energy in the courtyard was overflowing. It was glowing with a green light, like a boundless ocean.

"Hmph, let's see how arrogant you are."

The black-clothed woman seemed to be extremely confident in this move of hers. She looked at the jade waves in front of her and revealed a proud expression.

"Stinking old hag, you don't really think that you can defeat me with just this bit of strength, do you?"

A mischievous voice sounded from within the jade wave, causing the black-clothed woman's expression to change slightly.

As the water vapor dissipated, the image of the boundless blue waves also gradually shrunk, and finally revealed a lofty figure.

"You're actually completely fine?"

The black-clothed woman seemed to have never thought that Luo Tongtian would be able to withstand her strongest attack head on, and her eyes were filled with astonishment.1

"You still have two more chances. You have to work hard, okay?"

Luo Tongtian raised his eyebrows at the black-clothed woman. His face was full of ridicule.

The terrifying green whirlpool from before possessed an extremely powerful attack. Facing the most powerful attack from the true martial artist, he felt that he could not resist it with his own strength.

Not only did the Water King Ring successfully defend against it, it even devoured the vast water energy in the midst of the turbulence, causing the area of Quiet Lake to expand once again. The tranquil lake water became even more serene, and even faintly formed a rippling water mirror within it.

The Water King Ring's performance had completely confirmed the old man's words, and this caused Luo Tongtian to be secretly delighted in his heart.

"Brat, don't be complacent. Look at this crystal drill of mine again."

The black-clothed woman had a fiery temper. When she heard Luo Tongtian's words, she couldn't help but fly into a rage. She raised her hand and unleashed an even stronger water wave.

The water force rippled and changed in the sky, forming a huge green drill.

This drill, which looked like a jade, was about ten meters long. It spun quickly and created a piercing sound when it rubbed against the air.

When the drill was still ten meters away from Luo Tongtian, its sharp aura had already pierced all the hair on his body. He did not hesitate to use the power of the Water King Ring again to form a Jade Light Spiritual Dragon to protect his body.

The shining drill hit the Jade Light Spirit Dragon, and as it spun rapidly, it let out an ear-piercing screech.

Unfortunately, the dragon's body was like a bottomless swamp. The water drill did not pierce through the dragon's body after it plunged into it. Instead, it miraculously disappeared.
