Chapter 3925: Battling Tong Yongning
For Ling Han, collecting these snake eggs was only something he did in pa.s.sing. His target was not these beast pets, even if they could become the battle prowess of True Self Tier not too many years later.
Ling Han pursued individual strength. For beast pets, he would take them if they came his way, but if they did not, he would not deliberately pursue them.
If Feng Jixing and the others knew about this, they would definitely die of fury.
-If you don’t care, then what are you s.n.a.t.c.hing them for?
Ling Han rubbed his chin. His current battle prowess had indeed reached the early stage of the Core Formation Tier, but Feng Jixing and the other powerful prodigies possessed battle prowess that was close to the middle stage of the Core Formation Tier once they had broken through to the Core Formation Tier. They still left him far behind.
It couldn’t be helped. This was the suppression of the major cultivation level.
Ling Han felt a sense of urgency. He had to gather all nine celestial lights as soon as possible, and then break through to the Core Formation Tier. At that time, with how strong his battle prowess was, would Feng Jixing still be worthy of being his opponent?
“Haha, I’ve finally found you!” A long laugh rang out, filled with pleasure.
‘Hmm?’
Ling Han turned around, and couldn’t help but smile. The visitor was actually Tong Yongning. He wasn’t alone, but had four clansmen with him. Naturally, they were all youngsters in the Foundation Building Tier.
“Brat, you can still smile when you see me?” Tong Yongning asked coldly.
“Why can’t I smile?” Ling Han countered.
“You can’t fly on a Tool here, so you’re dead meat!” Tong Yongning said with a smug smile. The three Core Formation Tier elites chased Ling Han into the Black Heaven Temple, yet they still couldn’t find him. However, they didn’t expect to encounter Ling Han here.
How could a mere Cauldron Forging Tier cultivator that couldn’t fly on a Tool escape from his grasp?
“Where are the other two Core Formation Tier cultivators in your clan?” Ling Han asked. “Despicable villain, Third Uncle alone is enough to deal with you!” A member of the Tong Clan interrupted.
In the eyes of the four of them, Ling Han was naturally already a corpse.
Ling Han shook his head, and said, “When adullts are speaking, why are children interrupting?” He waved his hand, and a burst of power shot out, turning into a green palm that was no different from the size of a human hand. It struck out at that junior from the Tong Clan.
“How dare you!” Tong Yongning humphed coldly, and shot out a palm strike, intercepting that green palm.
Peng!
The two forces clashed, and both were instantly annihilated.
‘What?’
Tong Yongning immediately looked stunned. Although he hadn’t used his full power in this strike, he should have still been able to crush Ling Han. How could both of the attacks have been destroyed?
Previously, though Ling Han had the means to resist the early stage of the Core Formation Tier, that was a bolt of lightning, which was similar to the might of the Spirit Tool. It was definitely not his own battle prowess, but this attack was definitely a collision of mystical power.
Hiss, a Cauldron Forging Tier cultivator actually had the power to oppose a Core Formation Tier cultivator?
What a huge joke!
He was extremely stunned there, but those four clansmen of the Tong Clan were completely unclear about the situation. They only saw that Ling Han’s attack had been easily dispersed by Tong Yongning, but they had no idea how much force Tong Yongning had exerted.
Hence, the four of them sneered repeatedly, looking down on Ling Han completely.
“Third Uncle, this villain is too bold. He still dares to make a move in front of you.”
“That’s right. Please apprehend him, Third Uncle!”
They all called out, wanting nothing more than to personally rush up and fight Ling Han.
Tong Yongning took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Cauldron Forging Tier was only Cauldron Forging Tier, after all. There was absolutely no way they could oppose a Core Formation Tier. That had to be the case.
Ling Han smiled faintly, “Third Brother Tong, are you going to apprehend me?”
“It would be as easy as the turn of a palm!” Tong Yongning moved, and charged towards Ling
Han.
Ling Han used Imminent Skyline to dodge, easily and freely.
“The Tong Clan is truly overbearing!” he said with a shake of his head. “I was perfectly fine as I stood by the side of the road, yet you people actually controlled a large s.h.i.+p to crash into me. You didn’t manage to crash into me, and you even came down to hunt me down.”
“Heh, who gave you people the audacity to do this?”
Being reprimanded by him like this, Tong Yongning’s expression was very ugly. So what if the Tong Clan was overbearing? Who asked you to be a mere Cauldron Forging Tier? However, a Cauldron Forging Tier was actually so hard to kill, and this was what made him feel embarra.s.sed.
“Enough with the nonsense! Die!” he roared. He unleashed a barrage of attacks at Ling Han. Ling Han continued to dodge, and said, “Third Brother Tong, do you believe that karma exists in this world?”
Tong Yongning didn’t speak at all. He only had one thought, and that was to kill Ling Han so that this brat would never be able to speak.
“Evil has its retribution, and this has been proven time and time again.” Ling Han said calmly, “However, it is better to depend on oneself than on others. Today, I will kill you, and collect some interest!”
“Haha!” Tong Yongning sneered. In front of him, Ling Han was completely unable to fight back, and he still dared to speak conceited nonsense?
“Despicable villain, you can only wait to be killed!”
“Close your eyes and accept your death. This can allow you to die a more painless death.”
The four clansmen of the Tong Clan all called out. As they saw it, Ling Han was naturally dead for sure. It was only a matter of time.
Ling Han smiled faintly, and made no further move to dodge. Instead, he clenched his right hand into a fist, and greeted Tong Yongning’s attack.
“Humph, you really don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!” Tong Yongning smirked coldly. A mere Cauldron Forging Tier cultivator actually wanted to confront him head-on;
where did he get such courage from?
Boom!
Ling Han’s fist greeted Tong Yongning’s left palm. Instantly, power surged, and the remaining power of Core Formation Tier surged out, turning into tumultuous waves.
“Wu!” “Ah!”
The four clansmen of the Tong Clan all released terrible cries, and were sent flying by this
shockwave.
The attack landed, and the energy gradually subsided.
Those four people were only sent flying, but were not injured. They hurriedly got back to their
feet, yet saw a scene that caused their scalps to go numb.
Ling Han stood proudly, his bearing captivating.
How was this possible!
How could a mere Cauldron Forging Tier cultivator be qualified to stand against a Core
Formation Tier cultivator?
The sun had risen from the west?
“How could this be!” Tong Yongning also exclaimed in shock. Previously, he had blocked Ling
Han’s attack. Though he had also sensed how strong Ling Han was, Ling Han had been dodging all this while after that, making him think that it was possible that Ling Han had channeled a secret technique, and that was why he had temporarily exploded with such great power. He could only deliver a single strike.
However, in the exchange of blows with Ling Han just now, he discovered that the latter’s power was surging fiercely, and was not inferior to him at all.
“You’re clearly only at the Cauldron Forging Tier, so how can your power reach the First
Heaven?”
Ling Han smiled faintly, “Because I am a prodigy!”
These words were extremely pretentious. Who would have the nerve to praise themselves like
this?
But no matter who it was, as long as they had witnessed that scene just now, they would not
say that Ling Han was shameless.
-A Cauldron Forging Tier was capable of resisting a Core Formation Tier, and no matter how pretentious he was, it would not be too much.
Tong Yongning frowned deeply. This wasn’t a prodigy; this was clearly a monster.
“Who cares what prodigy or freak you are? The Cauldron Forging Tier is ultimately just the
Cauldron Forging Tier. Just see how I will kill you!” He charged over again, and the battle prowess of the Core Formation Tier was completely unleashed.
Ling Han was unafraid. He used the Eighteen Arhat Palm, and exchanged blows with Tong
Yongning.
“Yi!”
Tong Yongning was astonished. Why did Ling Han also know this secret technique?
It should be known that he had also entered into the Black Heaven Temple and learnt this fist
technique, but he clearly hadn’t seen Ling Han at that time.
Then how had Ling Han learned this secret technique?
“How did you learn it?” he couldn’t help but ask.
“You guess,” Ling Han said with a smile.
Tong Yongning naturally wouldn’t guess. He sneered and channeled the Eighteen Arhat Palm,
clas.h.i.+ng with Ling Han.
