Immortal Path to Heaven

Between the 2 Advanced Spiritualists, one was tall while the other was short. The tall one was Ma Xiuhe, whereas the short one was Qing Juncai. They were both powerful cultivators that were brought up by Li Shaoyuan.

Due to the pointers from a Venerable One and their remarkable natural gifts, they managed to stand out from the rest and became Advanced Spiritualists.

Nonetheless, they understood better that an Advanced Spiritualist was not a pivotal figure to a Venerable One. Li Shaoyuan had only sent them to Li Tianyu to protect the indulgent child.

Since Li Tianyu was Li Shaoyuan"s only grandson, the Venerable One was naturally aware of his domineering character. The only thing was that he was not bothered. After all, Li Tianyu was his grandson and was within his territory, hence he could settle everything regardless of what the fellow did. In fact, the Venerable One would not need to show up at all because his followers would handle everything.

The tall and short Spiritualists at the moment were unquestionably the most competent people to handle such matters.

Ma Xiuhe flashed and avoided everyone"s sight at an unbelievable speed. He arrived in front of Xue Boren in a split second.

Being nurtured by a Venerable One, he was sharp-eyed and had a better judgment of situations as compared to his peers. In particular, a l.u.s.ter could be seen in his eyes when he spotted the sabers in Xue Boren"s hands.

Judging from how Xue Boren used his sabers, one could imagine that he had put a lot of effort into them. As long as one got rid of the sabers, he would not be much of a threat anymore.

Therefore, Ma Xiuhe aimed for the sabers first.

A light flashed in his hand as he retrieved a short spear, which was smithed rather strangely. Especially at the end of the spear tip, a tic-tac-toe shape could be seen bulging. The bulging spot tilted slightly and locked one of the sabers as swift as a sudden clap of thunder.

Xue Boren"s face changed. He had met many opponents before this and was battle-seasoned.

Even so, he never met an opponent that could lock his weapon at once.

Without any hesitation, he exerted force through his right hand as he wanted to make his saber break free from the short spear"s shackle. Who knew, Ma Xiuhe was as steady as a mountain as though he carried an unimaginable power.

In terms of power only, Xue Boren is in a completely disadvantageous spot.

Ou Yangming, who was standing behind, raised his eyebrow. He immediately saw a flashing white light on Ma Xiuhe"s waist when he used force. Although it was an extremely subtle light, it could not hide from the young fellow.

It was the White Silver Light, which meant that Ma Xiuhe carried another White Silver Equipment that was attached with the Power attribute. If not, he could not have gained an upper hand against Xue Boren in terms of power.

Ma Xiuhe smiled hideously and kicked.

His kick was incredibly ruthless, where it had the momentum of a storm as if he wanted to kill Xue Boren right away.

Xue Boren"s face took on a ghastly expression. His saber was being locked, but he still dared not unleash his utmost strength against his opponent because he knew he would not be able to bear the consequence.

On the other hand, Ma Xiuhe did not have any concerns. He did a simple kick but displayed his killing intent without any reservations.

When Xue Boren sensed the surging killing intent that enveloped him, he could not hold back anymore. With that, he roared and wielded his other saber, which turned into a giant python that pounced on his opponent.

Given that they were fighting in a close range while their weapons were entangled with each other, it seemed like Ma Xiuhe would not be able to dodge the other saber no matter what.

Nevertheless, Ma Xiuhe did not evade the attack. He simply adjusted the angle of his leg and kicked the saber-light mercilessly.

The sounds of metals clashing were continuously heard. The clothes on Ma Xiuhe"s legs fluttered like a b.u.t.terfly as it was cut, but the greave on his leg was revealed.

It turned out that Ma Xiuhe was already well-equipped, which was why he dared to face the saber-light with his body.

The greave"s defensive power was notable. Even when several saber-lights slashed it, not a single white mark was left behind.

Despite that, since Xue Boren went all-out, he managed to hold Ma Xiuhe back. The 2 Advanced Spiritualists became weirdly entangled with each other, and it looked like there would not be an outcome anytime soon.

Ou Yangming had a rather odd expression on his face. He had watched countless fights, but it was rare for Advanced Spiritualists to end up like this.

When he scanned Ma Xiuhe"s queer short spear and his other pieces of equipment, he had to admit that Xue Boren was at a disadvantage in terms of pieces of equipment.

“Hmph! What are you looking at? Aren"t you going to settle them?” A cold look was seen in Li Tianyu"s eyes as he was displeased.

The 3 Rudimentary Spiritualists, who were watching on the side, finally came back to their senses. They looked away reluctantly and shifted their attention to Ou Yangming and Xue Xuanle.

It was rare to watch a fight between Advanced Spiritualists, thus they would benefit greatly from spectating the fight. Having said that, after receiving Li Tianyu"s order, they could only stop watching even if they were not willing to look away.

“Young fella, quickly surrender so that you won"t waste our time!” A tall man said seriously.

Even though both Ou Yangming and Xue Xuanle carried the auras of Rudimentary Spiritualists, the 3 men were confident that they could easily take them down. The only thing that worried them was they might infuriate the young master if they accidentally hurt the beautiful lady throughout the process. As such, they figure that they would not attack her if they could.

Ou Yangming shrugged and grinned. “Want to take me down? Come and try.”

The faces of the 3 Rudimentary Spiritualists changed as they were mad. Since the young fellow refused to take the easy way, they could not be blamed. That said, they never thought that if Ou Yangming were to give himself in, he would only meet a dead-end in front of Li Tianyu.

Since he was going to die no matter what, why could they not resist him?

The 3 men exchanged glances and split up to surround Ou Yangming and Xue Xuanle, but they avoided the fight between Ma Xiuhe and Xue Boren on purpose.

While the 2 Advanced Spiritualists were still restraining themselves a little, the 3 Rudimentary Spiritualists did not want to meddle in their fight.

Xue Xuanle turned around and stuck her back close to Ou Yangming. She retrieved her longsword and became wary. It was true that she was panicking, but she was not at a loss because she somehow trusted the young fellow no matter what.

"As long as Big Brother Yu is here, he"ll definitely guarantee my safety."

It was an unreasonable and funny thought, but her thought on this was firm.

Ou Yangming sighed. He naturally would not be bothered about 3 Rudimentary Spiritualists, but he did not want to expose his ident.i.ty yet.

As he shook his wrist, his formation board swayed. However, just as he was going to throw it out, an earth-shattering roar was suddenly heard coming from afar.

“Roar…”

It was an exceptionally valiant roar, and it carried a fearsome power.

Anyone that heard the sound could not help but shiver. They felt a penetrating chill travel through their spines to their heads as if it was going to freeze them.

“Oh no!” Qing Juncai shouted, “Young Master, quickly leave!”

He reached out to carry Li Tianyu abruptly, then he slipped and dashed in the opposite direction of where the sound came from. He moved as fast as lightning without asking anyone"s opinion, so much so that even the young master did not get to object to it at all.

Furthermore, the savage Devil Ape, which initially bared its teeth and had a forceful momentum, shrunk its neck and was no longer presumptuous as though it met a mortal enemy. Its legs shook as it also escaped in the direction Qing Juncai went.

Wherever it pa.s.sed, leaves and branches flew while trees were broken off. It was a mess.

“Stop!”

Ma Xiuhe yelled with a look of fear.

Xue Boren stopped at once, but he still stared at his opponent warily.

Following that, Ma Xiuehe shook his hand and kept his short spear, which was locking the saber. He then flashed and fled as well without leaving a word behind.

The 10 over people that followed Li Tianyu here were stupefied at first, and they only ran away when someone shouted. It took only a brief moment for the unusually noisy scene to become cold and quiet again. Apart from Ou Yangming and his companions, n.o.body else could be seen.

“Wh-what"s going on?” Xue Xuanle widened her eyes and asked in shock.

Ou Yangming flickered his eyes curiously but instead of looking in the direction Li Tianyu and the others went, he looked at where the roar came from.

Xue Boren gasped. “Oh no, an invincible ferocious beast must"ve appeared nearby. Let"s quickly leave so that we won"t be spotted.”

Nonetheless, Ou Yangming was as steady as a mountain. He asked, “Senior Xue, this invincible beast that you"re talking about—what"s its cultivation base?”

“Uhm…” Xue Boren hesitated for a while before he answered bitterly, “It might be a Venerable One.”

"That"s impossible.” Ou Yangming cut off the elder right away. “The roar can"t be a Venerable One"s.”

Xue Boren was much older than Old Craftsman, but he had only seen less than 5 Venerable One and never witnessed a fight between Venerable Ones.

On the other hand, Ou Yangming had not only met more than 10 Venerable Ones but had also fought against a top-grade Venerable One, which was why he made such a confident deduction.

Xue Boren was startled for a while. “Even if it"s not a Venerable One, it"s at least a top-grade beast!”

A top-grade vicious beast was considered an irresistible being to people like him.

Xue Xuanle urged the young fellow anxiously. “Big Brother Yu, let"s leave now. If the top-grade beast really comes, I"m afraid that…”

Who knew, Ou Yangming smiled and said, “It"s fine—it"ll be perfect if it comes.”

Xue Boren and Xue Xuanle looked at each other and had the same thought.

"Was he scared silly?"
