Chapter 159 – Elder Ying Luo
When a group of villagers started screaming, Long Yu reacted immediately.
“So finally we know where you have been hiding.”
Long Yu’s eyes flashed as he flapped his lunar wings, which displayed their hidden power for the first time – flying!
The lunar wings flapped to lift his body in the air, changing it into a black streamer, and almost immediately transported him to the place where the screaming group of villagers had gathered.
As the lunar wings reached psychic level, their power increased and allowed him to fly like an eagle in the air. Although it wouldn’t enable him to fly as high as an eagle, his speed would still increase manifold.
Immediately afterward, Long Yu dropped from the clouds and could clearly see the Qiansi powerhouse that was hiding in a corner.
It was a middle-aged woman with freckled face and was wearing a black embroidered robe. Her eyes flashed with sinister light as she ruthlessly penetrated the chest of the villager, who was leading the group, with her battle weapon, immediately crushing his heart!
“Found you!”
Long Yu gave a cold look to the Qiansi powerhouse as he discreetly landed near her.
“How did you find me?”
The middle-aged Qiansi woman giggled as she looked at Long Yu with disdain: “You are a trivial Zhenling 2nd layer expert, while I am an Elder of the Qiansi Sect. Cannot you see that I am at Zhenling 4th layer with my own Zhenling ent.i.ty? Do you really think you have the slightest chance of defeating me?”
Hearing this, the faces of all the villagers turned pale with fear!
They thought that the cultivation level of Long Yu was equal to that of the Qiansi powerhouse, and that was the reason why they had risked their own lives to find the whereabouts of the hiding Qiansi powerhouse, thinking that Long Yu must be able to fend her off if they found her!
But as it turned out to be, this middle-aged Qiansi woman was a Zhenling 4th layer powerhouse while Long Yu was just a Zhenling 2nd layer expert!
This disappointed them all to a great extent!
Although the Qiansi Elder was now the object of every villager’s hatred since she had killed Uncle Li, she was too powerful to be handled by any of the villagers. Now that the villagers had helped Long Yu in finding her, after killing Long Yu she might retaliate and wipe out the whole village!
Immediately, hundreds of villagers that had gathered there retreated with apparent fear on their faces.
For them, Zhenling realm was something unattainable, so they had not the least qualifications to fight a Zhenling 4th layer powerhouse. If any of them was to meddle, they would get killed immediately!
The eyes of some villagers flashed as they thought of escaping from the village.
Although it was hard for them to abandon the village they spent their childhood in, still, running away from the village was better than staying there and getting killed!
At this time, Liao Lele, while running out of her breath, shouted to the villagers: “Don’t be afraid. Long Yu is a genius of Zhentian Sect. He won’t let this vicious woman run away now!”
“Liao Lele, you are such a funny little girl.”
The middle-aged woman laughed tenderly, flashing her eyes fiercely and said: “I will not run away, you stupid girl! You will have to run for your life! Remember my name – Ying Luo!”
This woman, named Ying Luo, was an Elder of Qiansi Sect!
And her strength was no less than that of Elder Yan Huanmo of Zhentian Sect!
Although this had increased the pressure on Long Yu, since he had found where exactly she was hiding, it was much easier for him to fight her now.
“Face me if you can!”
Long Yu’s blood boiled. Regardless of this woman being an Elder of Qiansi Sect, he must kill her!
Whether it was because Qiansi Sect had injured Elder Yu Shuiyun, or because it wanted to gain control over Zhentian tactics – Long Yu had enough reasons to feel what he was doing was legit.
Regardless of the ways he would have to use, Long Yu was determined to kill this Qiansi Elder.
Elder Ying Luo had not only killed many innocent villagers, she also tried to make Liao Lele doubt her talent for alchemy.
If Long Yu had not arrived in the village and detected that Uncle Li was poisoned by someone from Qiansi Sect, this woman’s schemes might have been successful and would surely have destroyed Liao Lele’s life!
“Qiansi Silk Law!”
A tender smile floated on Ying Luo’s lips as numerous silk threads, as fine as a spider’s web, launched towards Long Yu and trapped him by forming a net-like structure around him.
“Qiansi Domain!”
As Ying Luo’s eyes flashed fiercely, Long Yu could feel a strange and formidable binding strength enveloping him completely.
“Zhentian Sun, congeal!”
Long Yu, full of self-poise, released his Zhentian Sun. As the Zhentian Sun shone fiercely, a tyrannical pressure was released by the Zhentian Domain which resisted the Qiansi Domain attack.
However, the very next moment, even this brightly shining Zhentian Sun was enveloped by the dense silk threads which were damaging it by creating small holes in it.
“The source of Qiansi Silk Law is her hands, from where these threads are being released….”
As soon as Long Yu discovered the source of these silk threads, his whole body released a terrifying destructive strength, as if a thunder mine had erupted, releasing lightning bolts around him!
These destructive thunder mines were a result of the Thunder charm that he had comprehended!
Completely under Long Yu’s control, the thunder mines charged past the silk threads and traveled towards Ying Luo.
Since the thunder mines traveled at the speed of light, naturally Ying Luo wasn’t able to dodge this attack and was soon struck by several thunder mines, making her whole body sparkle brilliantly!
“Qiansi defense!”
Ying Luo shouted as she withdrew all the silk threads to cover herself, forming a cemented shadow all around him. Surprisingly, even the thunder mines couldn’t break through its defense and could only pace back and forth, stuck in the shadow!
“It’s a good opportunity!”
Long Yu’s eyes shone brightly as he condensed nine hidden dragon qi on his fist.
“Nine hidden dragon fist, awakening palm samsara!”
Immediately the humungous power of samsara was released!
As Long Yu launched his fist, the power of samsara completely surrounded the black-robed silhouette of Ying Luo and immediately seeped into her body!
And soon, under the influence of the power of samsara, her cultivation level dropped by one layer to Zhenling 3rd layer!
This phenomenon immediately changed Ying Luo’s complexion!
What a strange martial technique it was that had decreased her cultivation level?
She soon realized that this depreciation in her strength was only temporary and it would soon be restored, but right now, she was still just an expert of Zhenling 3rd layer!
The disparity between the basic strength levels of Zhenling 4th layer and Zhenling 3rd layer was enormous.
As her cultivation level dropped, Long Yu was now going to release his nine hidden dragon qi, burst stream.
But Ying Luo had not underestimated her enemy from the beginning till now, even though she knew she had a much higher cultivation than that of Long Yu!
Still, even while facing an expert two level below hers, she had preferred not to expose herself and stayed hidden until the villagers discovered her.
Clearly, she was being cautious!
At this moment, as she was guarding against Long Yu’s surprise attack, she was certain that Long Yu certainly had some secrets of his own.
Otherwise, from where could he have learned such powerful martial techniques?
In this case, Ying Luo had to be extra vigilant at all times.
At this moment, as Ying Luo noticed that Long Yu was about to hit his fist on the ground, she immediately withdrew herself several feet away from the place she was standing.
However, while she thought she was safe, she felt that the ground under her feet was a bit unusual.
Suddenly, a huge column of nine hidden dragon qi erupted from under her feet.
“Nine hidden dragon burst stream!”
Long Yu had hit his fist on the ground, releasing a burst of nine hidden dragon qi, which could have killed Ying Luo instantly.
Ying Luo reacted too quickly, which was crucial at this point of time as this attack could have killed her. Just as the nine hidden dragon qi exploded under her feet, she immediately rolled sideways to save herself from any major injury.
Although she was thoroughly distressed, still she was able to dodge off Long Yu’s attack!
Long Yu also realised that defeating Ying Luo wouldn’t be as easy as it was to fight with the two Zhenling 4th layer powerhouses whom he had killed previously.
Earlier, the biggest disparity between Long Yu and his enemies had been the state of mind.
Even for a single moment, Ying Luo had not underestimated his strength and was as vigilant as ever, and this was one of the biggest problems Long Yu was facing right now.
Long Yu had comprehended the awakening palm samsara to the Xiao Cheng level, otherwise, it would have had no effect on Ying Luo.
Fortunately for him, the samsara had worked and she was now at Zhenling 3rd layer.
The basic strength of Long Yu was now at par with Ying Luo’s basic strength!
“Die!”
Long Yu was in no mood of sparing this woman. He immediately flapped his lunar wings, which instead of taking him towards her on the ground transported him just above her head in the air.
“Numerous spear shadows!”
Long Yu waved his Qian dragon spear in the air to release numerous spear shadows which darted towards Ying Luo, who was standing just below.
“Qiansi defence!”
Ying Luo was unable to understand what exactly had happened and how Long Yu had appeared just above her in a flash, so all she could do was to congeal a shadow barrier around her in order to defend herself.
Unfortunately for her, she was now just at Zhenling 3rd layer.
Her shadow barrier soon began to disintegrate under the continuous attack of Long Yu’s numerous spear shadows!
This made her ruthless and sinister complexion even gloomier!
Long Yu was now being offensive and had numerous techniques that could be used. His ‘Kill ten thousand people’ technique and ‘Thunder charm’ had enormous destructive powers and were enough to kill even the mightiest of the enemies!
Ying Luo tried to dodge the attack by rolling sideways once again.
She was just waiting for her cultivation level to be restored, and then she could easily kill Long Yu!
However at this time, Long Yu’s speed was must faster than hers, so how could he let her escape so easily?
His Qian dragon spear was now more like a tyrannosaurus that had selected its target. Releasing the thunder charm, Long Yu followed Ying Luo and pierced her shoulder all of a sudden!
Immediately, the violent power of thunder charm broke her shoulder!
Bang!
Ying Luo fell down with bloodshot eyes.
At this moment, she finally realised that she might die there and that too at the hands of a trivial boy of Zhenling 2nd layer!
