Chapter 945: Fight For The Seven Dazzling Pill
The sun was shining brightly.
Ling Yue did not know why Ou Yangming wanted to buy so many pills, but he did not ask anything.
He raised his hand to take the storage bag and walked towards the stall where he bought the pills. This was the brilliance of his conduct, where he would never ask what he should not ask. It was the same when he was in the volcano, and it was the same now.
As for Ou Yangming, he walked back to his small courtyard to recuperate.
Time flew, and the Pill Feast was over.
The news about Ou Yangming and the Eternal Pill had spread over this period of time, and everyone in the Seven Stars Sect knew about them.
Ou Yangming was especially popular. He was as famous as the Daoist disciples of the 7 main peaks!
That day, the entire Seven Stars Sect was enveloped in a misty rain. It was as thin as a veil and was like a curtain made of rain.
Ou Yangming stood in the rain but not a single drop of rain fell on him.
All of a sudden, he was moved, and he turned to look in a certain direction.
In front of him was a man dressed in luxurious clothing, and the man walked slowly in the rain. He had a handsome face, and his aura was indistinct. The man’s clothes were soaked through by the rain, and he carried a sword case on his back. The sword case was red in color, and it was as if there were countless red symbols dancing about. It was scarlet, and anyone who saw it would feel their hearts tremble.
The man’s name was Zang Jian, and he was a Daoist disciple of the Ultimate Sword Peak. He had a cultivation base of a top-grade Spiritualist, and he was known as one of most promising people to become a Venerable One in the Seven Stars Sect.
Zang Jian’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. He cupped his hands and asked, “Fellow friend, has the Pill Feast ended?”
“Yes, it just ended today.” Ou Yangming nodded lightly. The man gave him a very strange feeling. Although the man did not carry any killing intent, he gave off a faint sense of danger. The feeling stuck to the young fellow like maggots attached to a bone, and he could not get rid of it no matter how hard he tried.
“Thank you, fellow friend!” Zang Jian nodded and fluttered away.
In actuality, he had accidentally heard Wen Zhou mention that the young fellow obtained a spot to enter the Big Ruins, which was why he had specially come to meet him.
Nonetheless, when Zang Jian saw Ou Yangming, he was disappointed because the young fellow’s aura was not vigorous and shocking, but ordinary. ‘Someone like him won’t become a Venerable One no matter how hard he works. If he doesn’t become a Venerable One, he’d be insignificant for the rest of his life.’
Ou Yangming’s eyes revealed a contemplative look. He shook his head and chuckled. He did not know the origin of the man nor the reason for his sudden appearance, but since the man did not show any hostility, he would not seek trouble.
The sky quickly cleared up. Ling Yue walked along the winding path that was similar to a horned dragon, and he walked up step by step.
Before he arrived, his voice was already heard. “Brother Yu, I’ll leave the matter of the Seven Dazzling Pill to you.”
“Brother Ling, there’s no need for you to be so polite. You’re being too estranged.” Ou Yangming laughed heartily.
Immediately after, a thought crossed Ou Yangming’s mind, and the light in his eyes slowly condensed. Afterward, a bright light flashed like a saber that could pierce through the sky. A sharp intent suddenly rose in his heart as he said, “Brother Ling, let’s go. I’d like to see how capable the man who broke through in a single step is.”
At this moment, to Ling Yue, Ou Yangming was like a saber that could pierce through heavens.
The light could suppress the eternal and could split mountains and rocks. Even if the sky was in front of him, he would still dare to make a hole in it.
Soon enough, they sped away and arrived at the small courtyard where Wen Zhou was.
Wen Zhou had just entered the door and was holding a kettle in his hand. He was watering the flowers. He shushed the young men softly and signaled them not to talk. The elder watered every flower meticulously for an hour before he straightened his back and let out a breath. He asked, “You’re here?”
“Greetings, Master!” Ling Yue was respectful as he cupped his hands.
Wen Zhou waved his hand and put down the kettle in his hand.
He sighed. “I only have 2 disciples, so I naturally want the two of you to live in harmony, but it’s only a wish and not the reality. The Spiritual Realm is like this, where the strong are king, and the fittest one survives. I hope that you won’t hold a grudge against me.” He sighed and wondered, ‘But Jian Chengzhe’s too competitive, narrow-minded, and obstinate to his ideas. In this life, being an Intermediate Spiritualist will be his limit.’ He did not know that his evaluation of Jian Chengze was surprisingly consistent with that of Gu Gengren.
In Wen Zhou’s opinion, the Seven Dazzling Pill was the most suitable for Ling Yue.
Not long after, a black-robed old man followed behind Gu Gengren and slowly came to the small courtyard. Jian Chengzhe was a little further away, and he had a flattering look on his face. In the depths of his eyes, there was also a trace of undetectable viciousness.
Guan Yue had quietly run out from her master’s place. After all, this was a big matter for Ling Yue. If the Seven Dazzling Pill was used properly, one might even break through from a Rudimentary Spiritualist.
Wen Zhou looked at Jian Chengzhe’s expression and sighed. ‘His heart for the path is entangled with demonic intent, so how can he advance further?’ He was already disappointed in Jian Chengzhe, this disciple of his.
He suppressed the thought and flapped his sleeve, then he said coldly, “There’s only 1 Seven Dazzling Pill. Now, let’s establish a gentleman’s agreement.”
As soon as he finished, his brows were tightly knitted together. His expression was grave as he said in a deep voice, “Jian Chengzhe, this time, you invited Gu Gengren to be your helper, is that right?” His voice was not loud, but it contained the pressure of a superior. After all, Wen Zhou was a powerful elder where even a top-grade Spiritualist would not dare to act rashly in front of him. If that was the case, he would not be given a spot to enter great ruins every year.
“Yes!” Jian Chengzhe nodded, his heart beaming with joy.
To him, a caster was definitely not a match for Gu Gengren, who was a person born with knowledge.
Wen Zhou asked Ling Yue the same question. Ling Yue nodded repeatedly.
“Alright, since you said it yourself, let’s begin.” He waved his hand and made a decision.
“Do you think that Big Brother Yu can win?” Guan Yue looked worried as he looked at Ling Yue.
“He’ll surely win!” Ling Yue lowered his head and looked into her eyes.
Just as they were talking, Ou Yangming had a thought. A white light flashed in his interspatial bag, and it was gentle as it enveloped him. When the white light dispersed, he had already held the Blazing Fire Cold Cicada in his hand and cast a magic art. The magic art turned into a green light that shot into the sky, and it was extremely fast. Now that he was a caster, his abilities could only be displayed in a wide area.
Gu Gengren did not stop him. His body merged with the world as he went to the top of the mountain.
He flipped his wrist and took out an ancient zither that had experienced many vicissitudes of life, then he smiled and said, “From the first time I met you, I had a premonition that I would fight you. This is fate, and I can’t escape it. Besides, this battle is only the beginning and not the end.” His voice was filled with emotion, and his voice resounded.
“It’s just your inner demon causing trouble. If you had wanted to leave, you don’t need to care about the Seven Dazzling Pill,” Ou Yangming replied to him.
“Inner demon?”Gu Gengren shook his head.
The two of them had been exchanging words since the beginning, both wanting to suppress each other’s aura.
Wen Zhou waved his sleeve and said in a calm voice, “Ling Yue, watch carefully. These two are peerless geniuses, and this kind of battle is rarely seen. If you can gain some enlightenment, it’ll be of great benefit to your future cultivation.”
“I’ll abide by your teachings, Master…”Ling Yue stood next to Guan Yue and said respectfully.
When Jian Chengzhe heard them, he could not help but feel a little jealous.
His heart felt like it was in a mess, and he thought ‘Why are you only telling Junior Brother but not me? Am I not your disciple?’ The resentment in his heart toward Ling Yue grew deeper. Even towards Wen Zhou, there was a trace of resentment.
“Fight!” Ou Yangming called out softly. With that, the 3 cracks on the Blazing Fire Cold Cicada lit up at the same time, and numerous symbols jumped up.
He raised his hand and pointed forcefully. The peak of the mountain surged up like a tide. This area covered tens of meters. The mountain rocks, grass, and trees all shook in a regular manner.
Ou Yangming exhaled a breath of green air. His expression was calm as he uttered, “Stone Awl Art!”
Before he could finish, the world had changed!
It was as if a pair of invisible giant hands had squeezed the ground within 33 meters from both sides to the middle. Countless stone awls rose up, and an aura as heavy as a mountain rippled out. Next, the stone awls seemed to have been pulled out of the ground by force. They spun quickly and crushed Gu Gengren from all directions, arriving almost in an instant.
The stones awls looked like a rainstorm pattering on banana leaves. They were dense and urgent.
It would be fine if that was all but the stone awls suddenly gathered together.
Ou Yangming pointed his finger in the air. The stone awls instantly shattered. Piercing sounds overlapped and were exceptionally sharp. The stone awls were like shards that had been blasted away by a huge force. They carried a strong impact force as they charged straight toward Gu Gengren.
Looking down from the sky, it was like many streams of light with wings on their tails were condensing toward a single point.
However, even after seeing such a terrifying scene, Gu Gengren’s expression did not change. Instead, he revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. He sat cross-legged and let out a soft cry, “This move came at the right time.”
In the wind, his white clothes fluttered lightly, and his hands moved the strings of the zither.
A clear sound reverberated, and a ripple that could be seen by the naked eye appeared in the air. It rolled violently, and it was like the surface of a lake. Wherever it passed, an intense tearing force spread out in all directions, and it shattered the stone fragments that shot out from the air inch by inch.
Neither of them tested it out. They displayed the combat power of Advanced Spiritualists perfectly the moment they launched their attacks. Each of their attacks had the power to split mountains and rocks.
Wen Zhou looked at the peak that had become a mess. His expression changed, and he thought, ‘Is this kind of combat power really something that Advanced Spiritualists can achieve? Even a top-grade Spiritualist would have to use their full strength, right?’ Whether it was Ou Yangming’s Stone Awl Art or the sound of the zither from Gu Gengren’s hands, they both made his scalp tingle. The elder felt like if he were to touch even the slightest bit of it, he would be seriously injured.
He knew as long as he faced either one of them, he would lose.
Guan Ye was also fearful. She knew that the young men were very strong, but she never expected them to be this strong. Every strike was surging with undercurrents and hidden killing intent.
She gently drew a circle on Ling Yue’s palm. With a worried expression, she said, “The two of them are evenly matched. They won’t give in at all.”
“That’s right. From the moment they met, they started to fight. Their auras clashed, but neither of them gained any benefits. Now, their attacks are majestic. This time, it’s going to be a little difficult. They’re not simple people, so this won’t be an easy fight.” Ling Yue allowed Guan Yue to draw a circle on his palm. He was looking at the peak as he replied to her.
