C904 Zuoqiu Mingling
Tongxuan City was one of the most prosperous cities in the entire East Taitian. Not only were there many experts in the city, even the streets were extremely wide.
The streets and alleys were filled with cultivators entering and leaving at any time. Some of the cultivators wore surprised and bewildered expressions. Some were frowning while others had natural expressions.
To put it bluntly, in the entire Tongxuan City, anything could happen at any time.
As for the matter of Ling Jian killing three peak Heavenly Dao Realm experts, under the spread of many cultivators, almost all the cultivators in the entire Tongxuan City had heard of it.
However, even so, there weren't many cultivators who were able to see Ling Jian with their right eye.
Therefore, even though they clearly knew that there was a very powerful young cultivator in Tongxuan City, very few people were able to recognize him immediately.
At this moment, Ling Jian was walking on a street in Tongxuan City with a relaxed and natural expression. The cultivators who were walking around didn't notice him in their hungry mode.
Roar.
While Ling Jian was walking, an extremely loud roar of a beast could be heard. The sound turned into sound waves that instantly spread out in all directions. This sound carried some kind of powerful magic. As soon as it was heard, it spread far away.
At the same time, after hearing the beast's roar, the other cultivators didn't even look at it. Their expressions changed at the same time. Originally, they were still walking on the street. Suddenly, their figures shook and dodged to the sides of the street.
"This is a murderer whose cultivation is equivalent to a human cultivator at the Late Heavenly Source Realm." Ling Jian did not dodge like the other cultivators. After hearing the roar of the beast, he instantly recognized the cultivation of the murderer. It was a human cultivator at the Heavenly Source Late Stage.
If such a murderer used all of his strength, he would be able to compete with some quasi-Heavenly Execution Realm cultivators.
Ling Jian raised his eyes and looked towards the end of the street. In his line of sight, there were several figures surrounding a huge murderer.
And this ferocious beast was charging towards him at an extremely fast speed.
It was a completely pitch-black murderer. The murderer's head was a ferocious dragon head. Its body was also not the body of a dragon god. It was similar to a horse. Although the murderer looked extremely huge, it was because of this divine body. On the contrary, it made him appear extremely tall and powerful.
Not only that, but its four limbs were also not horse hooves. Instead, they were claws that were full of sharp claws, especially at the tail of the murderer. There was also a long and slender tail that swayed indeterminately.
This tail looked incomparably long and slender. Similarly, on the tail... It was also covered with all kinds of scales, and it gave off a sharp aura. The most shocking thing was that at the end of the tail, there was a dark red inverted hook that was not very big.
The hook gave off a faint light and a faint bloody aura that made one's hair stand on end.
In just a moment, Ling Jian had already seen the entire body of this strange murderer. Then, he looked at the figure on the murderer's body.
At this moment, there was a young man's shadow standing at the neck of this fierce beast. As the murderer moved, he gave off a graceful and unrestrained feeling.
This was a young woman. The woman also looked quite young and pretty. She was only a little over twenty years old.
The woman had a curvy figure and wore a brown tights. Her long silver hair also hung loosely on her shoulders.
Although the woman was also very beautiful, if compared to the women Ling Jian knew... She was definitely behind Zhang Ling Er and Tantai You, but even so... The woman was already very good. She could also be considered a beautiful woman.
However, even so, the woman's face would occasionally reveal a trace of arrogance and coldness. This made the woman look difficult to get along with, especially with that kind of condescending expression. It made people feel very uncomfortable. At a glance, it was obvious that she was an unruly and headstrong person.
At this moment, the woman was standing on the neck of the black dragon-headed fierce beast. A red whip was wrapped around her arm. Every time the long whip was swung down, the fierce beast beneath her would immediately let out a series of hissing sounds.
"Look at her age, she is only around 20 years old. I didn't expect that my cultivation would already reach the late stage of Heavenly Source Realm. It can be considered that my talent is not bad." Ling Jian looked at the woman and spoke in a soft voice.
After all, in terms of cultivation base alone, it could be considered to be extremely powerful among the entire younger generation of the East Taitian Realm.
"Looks like her status isn't too low. She might be the descendant of that powerful clan." Ling Jian looked at this woman and thought in his heart. Seeing that the black dragon-headed beast was getting closer and closer to him, Ling Jian didn't want to cause trouble. He prepared to dodge to the other side.
However, at this moment, before he could truly dodge, he could feel a pair of extremely sharp eyes looking at him.
Ling Jian's expression did not change. He lifted his gaze and saw that the woman standing on the neck of the black dragon-headed fierce beast was looking at him.
At the same time, the woman on the black dragon-headed beast also noticed Ling Jian's presence. Especially when Fang Qi saw Ling Jian looking at her, his expression immediately became displeased.
"How dare you offend me like this? You're a lecher seeking death." Zuoqiu Lingling was instantly extremely furious. She was the dignified young lady of the Zuoqiu Clan. He never imagined that Ling Jian would be a cultivator at the initial-stage of the Heavenly Source Realm. He actually dared to offend her like this.
"Go to hell!" The long whip in his hand erupted almost at the same time as the rage in Zuoqiu Lingming's heart. It instantly transformed into a fierce gale that swept towards Ling Jian's entire body.
When the surrounding cultivators saw this scene, their gazes instantly converged and shot incomparably pitying gazes towards Ling Jian.
Even though there was a very clear rule in Tongxuan City, no cultivator was allowed to make a move privately on the streets. However, the Zuoqiu Clan was the only two top powers in the entire Tongxuan City. Moreover, the Patriarch of the Zuoqiu Clan was an expert at the initial-stage of the Saint Realm.
As the daughter of the Patriarch of the Zuoqiu Clan, let alone injuring Ling Jian... Even if he attacked directly and killed Ling Jian with lightning speed... Most likely, there would absolutely not be any cultivators in Tongxuan City who would pursue his responsibility.
After all, there were simply too many cultivators in Tongxuan City. Moreover, offending one of the two strongest experts, the Patriarch of the Zuoqiu Clan, for the sake of an unknown cultivator, only a fool would have a problem with his head. Only a fool would choose to make a move.
"Looks like this young man is really going to be unlucky." On both sides of the street, the cultivators of No.1 Middle School had already made a move when they saw Zuoqiu Lingzhi, and all of them started laughing with schadenfreude.
After all, Zuoqiu Lingming had always been unruly and headstrong in Tongxuan City, and those that were targeted by her would most likely not have a good end. So, many cultivators were already accustomed to this.
"At such a young age, his cultivation has already attained the initial-stage of the Heavenly Source Realm. Even though the geniuses on the Genius Rankings are still a little lacking, but if I cultivate for a period of time in the future... It might not be impossible for me to reach that height, but it's a pity. " A cultivator spoke in such a manner. Even though he spoke in such a manner, there was a mocking expression on his face.
Because in their opinion, Ling Jian deserved it. Even if he was really killed by Zuoqiu Lingzhi on the spot, it was only because he didn't want to see it.
Not to mention that Ling Jian hadn't attained the peak of the Heavenly Source Realm yet, even if he really took this step, if he offended Zuoqiu Lingming, then the final outcome would be determined.
Swoosh.
The long whip in his hand carried an ear piercing sonic boom, and it carried a formidable aura of spirit energy. At the same time it tore through space, it instantly appeared before Ling Jian.
The shadow of the long whip shot out of Jing Ling Jian's pupils. Seeing that the long whip was getting closer and closer to him, he couldn't help but furrow his brows slightly.
He originally didn't want to cause trouble, but unfortunately, you didn't want to provoke others, yet you liked to provoke him.
At this moment, seeing that the shadow of the long whip was about to hit him, Ling Jian immediately snorted lightly. He then raised his palm, but there wasn't any spiritual energy fluctuation in his palm. However, his speed was shockingly fast. He grabbed the end of the whip.
Pah!
At the same time, Zuoqiu Lingming's whip smashed into Ling Jian's palm, and it quickly emitted waves of loud bangs.
Zuoqiu Lingming stood on top of the black dragon-headed murderer. Originally, she didn't have much left in her attacks, and she felt that if Ling Jian was beaten until he swelled up by her strike, then even if he didn't die, he would at least be heavily injured and on the verge of death.
However, no matter what, it caused her to never have imagined that not only did the force carried by her long whip not injure Ling Jian, it was instead easily grasped by the other party's palm.
This caused her expression to instantly change.
On one hand, she had never thought that a mere initial-stage Heavenly Source Realm cultivator like Ling Jian would actually be able to receive his attack with his bare hands.
On the other hand. She was even more astonished and shocked by Ling Jian. She had never thought that Ling Jian would actually dare to resist.
After all, she was Zuoqiu Clearspirit, and everyone in Tongxuan City knew of her great name.
It wasn't just Zuoqiu Clearspirit, even the surrounding cultivators that were watching the show were stunned in unison when they saw that Ling Jian was actually able to make a move against Zuoqiu Clearspirit.
They'd never imagined that when Zuoqiu Clearspirit made a move, the Ling Jian before them would actually be able to make a move to resist.
"So it turns out that Miss Zuoqiu has a temperamental disposition. Now, she'll probably absolutely not let go of Ling Jian."
"You're right. Originally, this kid might have a way to survive. But now, it looks like his death is absolutely not to be regretted."
"Exactly. With her disposition, I remember that when she attacked in the past... If she could survive her attack, there might still be a chance for her to survive. However, if she resisted, it would be those who had truly stepped into the peak of the Heavenly Source Realm. They'll be killed by Miss Zuoqiu as well. "
"Sigh, this is something that can't be helped. Who asked him to possess such a great background? If you possess such a father, you will similarly be able to do whatever you want in Tongxuan City."
"You're right. Besides her father, she also has a good brother who has reached the Half-Step Saint Realm at such a young age. This kind of strength is not any weaker than the heads of those first-rate forces. Therefore, even the heads of some first-rate forces... Even I wouldn't dare easily offend Zuoqiu Linming, let alone this cultivator before me who's only at the initial-stage of the Heavenly Source Realm."
"Alas, look at this young man. He's so young, and he's currently gathered in Tongxuan City. Most of the time, he's here to participate in the recruitment of disciples from the Void Palace, and he just never imagined that... The people of the Taixu Sect haven't seen him yet, yet he's about to be killed by Zuoqiu Lingzhi. "
...
... On the streets, all the cultivators were discussing animatedly at this moment. However, amongst them... Most of the cultivators were very quiet during the discussion, even if they were not transmitted with their voices. They were all communicating with their Divine Sense.
After all, Zuoqiu Clearspirit wasn't a hot topic. If she were to accidentally hear it, they would be the ones to suffer in the end.
As for whether Ling Jian lived or died, they didn't take it to heart because in their opinion, Ling Jian was already completely no different from a dead person.
"Eh? This fellow actually has some ability. He's able to withstand the might of this whip with a cultivation at the initial-stage of the Heavenly Source Realm. He isn't simple at all." On the other hand, the cultivators around Zuoqiu Lingming sighed repeatedly with emotion.
On the other hand, they were cultivators of the Zuoqiu Clan, and every single one of their cultivations had attained the peak of the Heavenly Dao Realm. Moreover, the objective of this trip wasn't that they were purely responsible for protecting Zuoqiu Lingming and consoling him.
"Even though they're capable, what's the use? After today, there's probably no need for him to stay in this world. Another cultivator said. He felt that it would be better for Ling Jian to just sit there and wait for death. Although that would make him suffer a bit, his life would definitely not be in danger.
And now, besides making Zuoqiu Lingming even more furious, Ling Jian's actions didn't have any substantial changes or developments.
"Haha, when Young Miss came out today, she was in a bad mood to begin with. It wouldn't be bad if she was in a bad mood after killing this young man before her." Another cultivator spoke in a cold tone. In their opinion, Ling Jian's life and death wasn't the most important thing. Most importantly, if Ling Jian died, Zuoqiu Lingming would be happy. That was an extremely important matter.
...
"You're courting death, you b * stard, you actually resisted." On the other side, Zuoqiu Lingming instantly became flustered and exasperated when he saw Ling Jian block his attack. At the same time, he spat out icy cold words from his mouth.
She originally intended to punish Ling Jian. If Ling Jian was able to block it, she would choose to let Ling Jian off. However, she never imagined that Ling Jian would actually dare to resist.
"Still not letting go?" Zuoqiu Lingming instantly shouted in a tender voice. Following her voice, a terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuation instantly erupted from her palm, and she wanted to break free from Ling Jian's grip.
However, very quickly, Zuoqiu Lingming's face trembled violently once again because she had developed. No matter how much strength she exerted, the long whip in Ling Jian's hand was unable to break free no matter what.
Ling Jian's palm was like a pair of iron pincers as it fiercely grabbed onto his long whip, causing her long whip to be unable to move at all.
"Hmph! I don't believe that your Spiritual Energy can surpass the Spiritual Energy density of a dignified late-stage Heavenly Origin Realm cultivator like me!"
After a wisp of anger surfaced on her pretty face, Zuoqiu Lingming's palm suddenly trembled. Then, the Spiritual Energy within her body instantly gathered in the pupae, and all of it converged into the long whip.
Instantly, a wild and violent power of thunder erupted from within the long whip. The light of thunder! It flickered in all directions. In an instant, it was as if the spatial door beside Ling Jian's palm had become even brighter. The spatial fluctuations were even more chaotic.
When the surrounding cultivators saw this scene, all of them revealed shocked expressions. They could tell that this long whip was an extraordinary object.
Ling Jian similarly noticed the change in the long whip in Zuoqiu Lingming's hand. But even so, she didn't care at all.
Now, he had already lotus flowers surpassing the Wild Lightning Silver Fruit and had even absorbed all of the Lightning Qilin's bloodline. Although the lightning energy at this level wasn't weak, it was no longer a threat in front of Ling Jian.
At this moment, when he saw the venomous glint in Zuoqiu Lingming's eyes, he instantly snorted coldly. After that, his palm shook slightly. Instantly, violent lightning energy spread out from the depths of his body. After which, he directly used the long whip to go against the flow and wildly surge towards Zuoqiu Lingming's body.
"What a violent lightning energy!"
"How is this possible!? His physical body actually contains such a violent power of thunder!"
Zuoqiu Lingming instantly cried out in shock. She'd never imagined that Ling Jian's physical body would still possess such violent energy of lightning. However, even though it had developed now, it was already too late. He wanted to let go of the whip. It was even half a beat too late.
Ah!
Instantly, a shrill cry sounded out from Zuoqiu Lingming's mouth. At practically the exact same moment, the violent energy of lightning raged on every single part of her body.
At this moment, Zuoqiu Lingming instantly felt that his entire body was already extremely numb from being pierced through. She instantly let go of the long whip in her palm print. Her pretty face instantly became extremely pale, and her face was already covered in dense sweat.1
As for Zuoqiu Lingming's long whip, because it lost the support of Zuoqiu Lingming's palm, it instantly fell from the sky. However, at this moment, the long whip was no longer completely intact, and it directly broke into pieces.
"This..."
"The strength of this palm is too formidable, huh?"
Instantly, the surrounding cultivators were stunned, they didn't expect this to happen.
As for the few peak Heavenly Dao Realm cultivators that stood around Zuoqiu Lingming, their expressions instantly changed when they heard Zuoqiu Lingming's shrill cry.
