As the Universe Turns - Chapter 151
Chapter 151 Duel
“You …”
‘”Why are you so heartless?” Ling Luan’s face flushed red with anger and she stomped her foot forcefully. “Do you see these flowers and plants outside? Even these flowers and plants are much more affectionate than you!”
At the end of his sentence, he saw her stomp her foot heavily in anger and stare hatefully into the room. Then, he went back outside and said sullenly, “If you don’t help, then you won’t help …”
After walking far away, he saw her turn around and glance at Xiao Chen’s courtyard with hatred. However, a sad expression appeared on her brows. This person refused to help, so what should she do now? Could it be that …
No!
Thinking of this, she shook her head forcefully. When she left, her grandfather said that no one should know her identity. But if those people didn’t know her identity, wouldn’t they be even more inch-deep? How could they beat them in three days?
…
Inside the room, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. The plants and vegetation weren’t heartless, heartless … What was heartless, what was affectionate?
Three days passed. On this day, the Cultivation Valley was filled with people. More than twenty new disciples were present. Apart from these twenty new disciples, most of the rest were old disciples of Celestial Pogoda.
“What? The person you’re waiting for hasn’t come yet?”
At this moment, a few men and women came down from the hillside. They looked down at the twenty-odd rookies with a faint smile. One of them, a man from Zi Yi, smiled and said, “Hey, little fellows, let alone being senior brothers and sisters who bully you, how about three versus six?”
Hearing this, the twenty-odd rookies below gnashed their teeth in hatred. Which one of them wasn’t the apple of their respective clans’ eyes? However, when he came here, he had to suffer this kind of foolishness.
A young man hatefully said, “If you want to fight fairly, then fight fairly. Who wants you to give way? Don’t look down on people …”
“Wait!”
Without waiting for the young man to finish his sentence, Ling Luan interrupted him and looked at the few people walking down the hillside. “Three against six? Is that what you said?”
The man from Zi Yi smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Junior Sister. Junior Brother’s words will naturally count.”
“Alright, then it’s a deal!”
Ling Luan’s gaze was firm as he looked at the people who were getting closer and closer. At this moment, a slightly older looking girl walked over and whispered in her ear, “Junior Sister Ling Luan, what’s going on? Isn’t Liao Wuchen coming?”
“He won’t come.” Ling Luan’s attitude was cold.
“Why?”
Seeing her indifferent tone, the girl beside him was a little surprised, “You didn’t tell him that day …”
“Anyway, he won’t come!”
Ling Luan’s expression turned cold. She had originally thought that Liao Wuchen was just cold and heartless on the surface. She even wanted to be friends with him to try to resolve his indifference. But now that she saw him being so heartless, she was extremely disappointed in this person. She no longer wanted to talk to him, let alone plead with him.
“Alright …”
The girl beside him frowned and stopped asking. Ling Luan looked at the few people walking down the hillside and said coldly, “Then which three of you come out?”
The man from Zi Yi smiled and said, “No, why don’t we … come and meet the junior brothers and sisters with our two senior brothers?”
“Alright!”
Ling Luan’s gaze was firm. Even without Liao Wuchen helping her, she could still rely on herself! Even though they knew that they were invincible, they would never take a step back. They came to Celestial Pogoda to cultivate, not to be bullied and oppressed by others!
The three youths behind him also walked up. In addition to Ling Luan, there were two other older girls. There were a total of six of them. Apart from Xiao Chen, they were the six most talented rookies in the Dao.
There were also many old disciples gathered on the distant hillside. They weren’t here to cause trouble today. They just wanted to see how stubborn the rookies were this time. When they first arrived, they were all obediently listening to their senior brothers. This time, the rookies were all good, they were all tough bones.
The man from Zi Yi smiled and said, “Alright, let alone Senior Brother bullying you, as long as you can last for half an incense stick of time, then you will win. How about it?”
“Humph!”
Ling Luan snorted coldly and stopped talking to him. She quickly formed a seal with both of her hands and a few streams of icy blue water immediately circled around her body.
The others also took out their Immortal Swords. In an instant, the entire valley was blown into a violent wind. Leaves were falling all over the sky. The six of them had already rushed over with a ferocious offensive.
However, the three men on the other side only looked at each other and smiled. They did not pay any attention to the six little ones. The person in the middle waved his hand and an overwhelming amount of palm power rushed over. At this moment, the six of them felt stifled and it was difficult to take another step forward.
“It seems that my cultivation is still a bit lacking …”
The man from Zi Yi smiled faintly. At the end of his sentence, he also struck out with his palm. The palm power instantly transformed into a huge golden palm print in mid-air. It was like an unstoppable force. With a loud bang, the two girls could not withstand the terrifying palm power. Their faces turned pale and they flew backwards first.
The remaining three youths tried their best to resist the surging palm power while executing their respective sects’ Dao Arts. However, no matter how powerful the Dao Arts were, they were powerless under the absolute suppression of the Dao Cultivators.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
With a few sharp sounds, the three youths were unable to withstand the fierce wind and waves of attacks from the other side, and all of them were sent flying backwards.
The difference in cultivation was too great. There was no suspense in this battle. The six of them only had a hundred years of cultivation at most. However, the three men had two hundred years of cultivation. Unless they had magical techniques and treasures, there was no chance of winning.
Just a few moves later, five of the six were eliminated, leaving only Ling Luan struggling to hold on in the gale sword qi.
She gritted her teeth tightly. Although there were more than a dozen streams of water circling her body and she could barely resist the sword qi from the other side, her entire body was drenched in sweat. At this moment, the other party only needed a few more consecutive palm strikes. She would definitely not be able to withstand it.
However, at this moment, the three people on the other side, whether intentionally or unintentionally, acted like a cat playing with a mouse and never attacked her ruthlessly.
“Junior Sister Ling Luan …”
The twenty-odd rookies in the distance clenched their hands tightly. Now, this youngest junior sister had become their last hope. However, no matter how talented she was, her cultivation was still insufficient. How could she last for half an incense hour?
“No, I can’t hold on any longer …”
Ling Luan clenched her teeth and sweat poured down her face. If she didn’t use the Fallen Dust Glazed Pearl, she would definitely lose to these three people. However, once she took out the Fallen Dust Glazed Pearl, her identity would be exposed …
“Haha, Junior Sister, be careful.”
The man from Zi Yi chuckled softly. His words seemed to be filled with pity for beauty and jade. However, he didn’t show any mercy when he attacked. The palm force was like a ten thousand zhang wave. All the rookies in the distance were instantly scared pale. “Junior Sister, watch out!”
“Boom!”
The palm force was unstoppable, causing the ground to shatter. Ling Luan had to rely on her profound arts to resist, but she was unable to withstand the force of the palm force. She immediately retreated, and a trace of blood finally leaked out from the corner of her mouth.
“Junior Sister!”
Seeing that she was injured, more than twenty rookies in the distance became nervous. If they continued to hold on like this, she would definitely be heavily injured!
After standing firm, Ling Luan wiped a trace of blood from the corner of her mouth. Her gaze was still very firm. When the old disciples on the distant hillside saw that she was still unwilling to admit defeat and give up, many people laughed out loud, “Junior Sister, if you continue fighting, you might not be able to hold on.”
“Don’t be complacent …”
Ling Luan’s gaze was cold. As she spoke, she condensed a dozen crystal clear droplets of water to recover from her injuries. She did not seem to admit defeat at all.
The Zi Yi man smiled faintly, “Alright, since you are unwilling to admit defeat, then as long as you can receive another palm strike from me, how about you win?”
As soon as these words were spoken, the twenty-odd rookies in the distance became even more nervous. This final palm strike must be extremely powerful. Junior Sister, could she withstand it?
“Junior Sister Ling Luan … Otherwise, forget it.”
A young man took a few steps forward with a very embarrassed expression. He blamed his cultivation for not being enough to even protect himself, so how could he protect his junior sister?
“Take action.”
Unexpectedly, Ling Luan looked at the Zi Yi man with a determined gaze. He didn’t look like a fifteen or sixteen year old girl at all. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw her covered in a layer of water shield. Countless water droplets surrounded her body to protect her from the sword energy.
“Then Junior Sister … be careful.”
The man from Zi Yi smiled. He suddenly raised his hands and a strong wind blew in the vicinity. Even the clouds above the sky began to surge. At this moment, all the rookies could feel an oppressive aura, making it almost impossible for them to breathe!
At the same time, on a distant mountain peak, two Old man Qingyi were also watching the duel in the Cultivation Valley.
One of them said, “Should we go over and stop them? The three of them didn’t act properly. I’m worried that the little girl will get hurt. If something really happens, I’m afraid the elders will blame …”
“Wait, there’s no hurry.” The other shook his head, still staring at the duel in the valley in the distance.
…
In the Cultivation Valley, strong winds blew and sand was everywhere. Suddenly, the Zi Yi man pushed his palms forward. The two palms interweaved and rushed towards Ling Luan. At this moment, almost all the rookies felt suffocated. This strength was too strong for Junior Sister Ling Luan to withstand!
Sure enough, before the two palms could reach her, the wind covered Ling Luan’s entire body, causing her to be unable to move. She could only watch helplessly as the two terrifying palms struck at her.
“Junior Sister Ling Luan!”
The three young men were shocked and flew up in an instant. However, if the three of them worked together, how could they withstand the two terrifying palm forces? “Bang bang bang bang” three times. Before the three of them could reach, they were sent flying back.
At this moment, Ling Luan’s expression also changed. She was about to chant a spell, but the two palms came too quickly. With a “rumble”, she was sent flying like a withered leaf in the wind, with no room to retaliate.
“Junior Sister!”
The twenty plus rookies were all shocked, but the Zi Yi man revealed a ruthless smile. Suddenly, he struck with another palm. This palm was even more merciless. All the rookies’ faces changed in horror. Even the two old men on the distant Green Peak finally changed their expressions. Just as they were about to attack, a green figure suddenly flew over from afar.
The man flicked his sleeve and with a “boom”, the terrifying palm power of the Zi Yi man was instantly dissipated, disappearing without a trace.
Ling Luan was still in shock. She felt her body soften and was caught by a pair of arms from midair. She looked up and saw a cold and heartless face in front of her. But at this moment, it was as if she had seen the most beautiful face in the world.
