Zhuo Die couldn’t help but take a few steps back.
A boundless fear rose up in her. Just how terrifying was this person in front of her?
He was able to knock over a Foundation Building cultivator with a single strike. It was unknown what kind of technique he had used, but all the servants of mortal level fell to the ground, especially the latter. This was too terrifying. What Foundation Building cultivator could be so strong?
At first, she had thought that with after joining forces with the other two, wouldn’t defeating an alchemist be as easy as waving a hand?
Who didn’t know that alchemists were only slightly more powerful in terms of Spiritual Power? However, alchemists were much weaker in terms of battle prowess.
But now?
That was not the case at all. Not only was Ling Han’s battle prowess not weak, it was shockingly strong.
What kind of monster had she encountered?
Ling Han smiled and said, “A woman’s heart is the most poisonous. Sure enough, it’s true.”
“What do you want?” Zhuo Die forced herself to calm down, and shouted lowly at Ling Han.
“Don’t worry. With how ugly you are, no one would have any designs on you,” Ling Han said calmly. Then, he turned around and said to the empress and the others, “Men can be castrated, but how can women be castrated?”
The empress was proud, and merely made a gesture of decapitation.
Meanwhile, Hu Niu bit her finger as she started to think. Meanwhile, the large black dog jumped over and continued to wave its paws, barking loudly.
No one could understand the barking of a dog, but Ling Han understood what it meant.
“You said, disfigure her?”
The large black dog nodded repeatedly.
“But she’s already so ugly, so disfigurement doesn’t mean much.” Ling Han was troubled.
Zhuo Die was furious. What part of her was ugly?
Though she could not be considered an exquisite beauty, she could still be considered a beauty, and had absolutely nothing to do with the word ‘ugly’.
However, this was not the main point. She was really afraid that Ling Han would disfigure her, and she was quietly retreating. As long as she could escape from here, she would immediately ask for help from the ancestor of her clan. To actually dare trifle with the Zhuo Clan, you were seeking your own death.
“You can’t escape!” Ling Han struck out with the stone slab. Pa, Zhuo Die instantly fell to the ground.
Towards those who wanted to harm him, there was naturally no need for him to be reserved. Ling Han castrated both Tan Bing and Sun Shaolong.
The large black dog jumped over, and ravaged Zhuo Die’s face. Then, it barked at Ling Han, indicating that it was done.
Ling Han looked at Zhuo Die’s disheveled face, and shook his head. This would definitely leave behind irrecoverable wounds.
So be it. She would remember this lesson forever.
“Let’s go.”
They exited the inn and left the White Night City, heading towards the Flowing Sand City.
Compared to the White Night City, the Flowing Sand City was a large city. There were elites of Core Formation Tier, and there was also a golden nine-storey tower here.
As long as he could pa.s.s through the golden nine-storey tower, he would be able to obtain a ticket to the Metal Element Fruit Gathering… a second grade ticket.
Four days later, they arrived at the Flowing Sand City.
On the way, the empress, Hu Niu, and the large black dog had all reached 20 Meridians, and had also cleared all their meridians. Next, it was time to break through to the Blood Transformation Tier.
Ling Han had enough Treasured Fruits of Life. After finding an inn in the Flowing Sand City, the two people and one dog began to break through. Ling Han stood guard for them.
Half a day later, they advanced into the Blood Transformation Tier one after another.
Though this could not be considered an elite, it was stronger than any ordinary person. Furthermore, their lifespan had also increased greatly.
With Ling Han protecting them, the empress and the others’ path was naturally much easier than Ling Han’s. They had a cultivation technique prepared for them, and there was no need to worry about the Treasured Fruit of Life. They only had to focus on cultivating.
Only then did Ling Han go to the nine-storey tower. After obtaining this qualification, he would go to the Flame Valley and first forge the Origin Gold into the model of a Monarch Tool. Otherwise, why would he keep a precious piece of Origin Gold in storage?
He had come alone. In any case, it was just a trip, so there was no need for him to invite the empress and the others.
The golden nine-storey tower was really forged from gold. From the outside, it was a blindingly bright gold in colour.
Because it was daytime, there were some people here.
However, there were not many people that were qualified to challenge the golden nine-storey tower. The majority were only here to join in on the excitement.
Right now, it was clear that someone was attempting to pa.s.s this trial. The seventh level was lit up.
However, Ling Han had just arrived, when he saw the seventh level darken, while the eighth level lit up.
“It’s the eighth level!”
“There are only two stages left.”
“As expected of Han Qian. He’s going to soar into the sky this time.”
“Being able to pa.s.s through the golden nine-storey tower would be comparable to a one-star genius.”
“He can be taken as a disciple by the Holy Land.”
Everyone felt rueful. Most of the people here had pa.s.sed through the Silver Tower, but had failed at the Golden Tower. After tempering their battle prowess for several years, they were still unable to pa.s.s.
In comparison, Han Qian had just advanced into Celestial Path not too long ago, yet already had hopes of clearing the golden nine-storey tower. This was really something to be envious of.
In a short while, the eighth level of the tower darkened, and the ninth level lit up.
Yi, that was Han Qian?
When Ling Han went to the nine-storey tower of Black Iron to train, he encountered Han Qian, and was almost cut off from the queue by him.
Now that Han Qian had entered into the golden nine-storey tower, it meant that this guy had already pa.s.sed through the two nine-storey towers of Black Iron and Silver.
Now that Ling Han couldn’t enter, he could only wait.
“The ninth level is still lit.”
“They’re still fighting fiercely.”
“It’s already been fifteen minutes.”
“He’s truly powerful. Being able to battle for so long is already enough to prove his strength.”
“Yi, it’s dark!”
“Pa.s.sed, or… failed?”
“Let’s just wait and see.”
In a short while, the golden tower opened, and a person walked out.
Han Qian.
His face was bright, and he looked very pleased with himself.
Obviously, he must have successfully pa.s.sed through the nine-storey tower. Otherwise, if he was still so happy, he must be out of his mind.
Those around them all offered their congratulations, though it was unknown how many of them were sincere.
Han Qian was smug. As he walked, he nodded at the people around him. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, and stared at a person in front of him. It was actually Ling Han!
He naturally remembered Ling Han. At that time, he had still wanted to show off his might to Ling Han after pa.s.sing through the Black Iron Tower. Who would have thought that after he came out, there was no sign of Ling Han at all?
He must have been afraid.
He was a little proud, but also a little displeased. Ling Han actually dared to ignore him; this was a show of contempt towards him.
He had never thought that he would actually meet Ling Han here again.
“What a coincidence!” he said with a smile.
Ling Han ignored him completely. What time did he have to waste with this kind of trash? He strode forwards, heading towards the golden tower.
“Impudence! I’m talking to you!” Han Qian roared in rage.
“Oh no, this brat actually dared to offend Han Qian!”
“He’s a prodigy of the Zifang Sect, and his future achievements are limitless.”
“Brat, hurry up and beg Young Master Han for mercy. Perhaps he can spare you.”
Everyone was also discussing spiritedly, and some were making suggestions to Ling Han. No one was optimistic about him. After all, Han Qian had already proven his strength and talent, and there was a powerful Zifang Sect behind him.
Hearing everyone’s discussions, Han Qian’s anger subsided instead. He looked proudly at Ling Han, and said, “Kneel down and beg for your life, and I can spare your life!”
Ling Han couldn’t help but laugh. “I think that I didn’t offend you, yet you want to kill me. What kind of logic is that?”
“Because I am stronger than you, because this is a world where the strong prey on the weak!” Han Qian humphed, and declared loudly..
