“You dare!” Xuanyuan Zi Guang could actually look and hear in all directions amidst a fierce battle, immediately yelling at Ling Han.
Ling Han picked his hears and muttered, “None of your damn business!”
Bai Yuan, however, stared at Helian Xun Xue, and revealed an expression of deep thought. He also couldn’t see through this girl, but compared to the little girl earlier, it was completely different. Hu Niu was a deep pit like a great sea that he couldn’t see the bottom of, while this girl was like she was covered by a layer of mist.
Strange, too strange.
Helian Xun Xue looked at the height of the city walls, and immediately said weakly, “I can’t go down. It’s too high, I’ll fall to my death.”
Everyone burst into laughter. You guys were definitely clowns invited by a monkey to come jest.
Ling Han grabbed onto Helian Xun Xue and brought her down the city walls. He then smiled and said, “Go on.”
He naturally wasn’t worried at all. Helian Xun Xue’s true cultivation was in the high stage of the Heaven Tier, and she had the bloodline of true dragon. If her battle prowess was fully unleashed, even Bai Yuan might be suppressed with a single hand.
Helian Xun Xue walked forward timidly while grabbing tightly onto a brick. Everyone couldn’t help but laugh at this look.
Another opponent that looked like they couldn’t stand a single blow.
Bai Yuan pondered, and said, “Fifth, you go.”
What!?
Bian Hao and the others were greatly shocked. The fifth, Sha Zhan, was third strongest elite amongst them, and he was going to be sent out now?
Sha Zhan, a dapper and handsome man. Divine light flashed across his body, looking extremely holy; he didn’t appear like a Thousand Corpse Sect disciple at all. He walked out and looked at Helian Xun Xue. Then, revealing a breathtaken expression, he said, “Beauty, be my dao companion and I will take you to the pinnacle of the world.”
“R-rascal!” Helian Xun Xue shivered as she scolded him.
“So pure, I like it!” He laughed loudly, leaping before her and reaching out towards Helian Xun Xue’s face.
“You dare!” Xuanyuan Zi Guang roared angrily. This was the lady he’d set his eyes on! He swore that he would definitely cut off Sha Zhan’s hand, and if Sha Zhan really touched Helian Xun Xue, he would break his bones into ash.
“Hmph, fighting against me, you still have the heart to look elsewhere?” Ju Tian Ge sneered, and launched consecutive deadly attacks, instantly suppressing Xuanyuan Zi Guang.
“Get lost, damn rascal!” Helian Xun Xue screamed, swinging the brick fiercely towards the other, and she actually closed her eyes and turned her head around, as if leaving it up to chance.
Peng!
The problem was that she actually landed the hit.
Wasn’t it Sha Xuan’s fault for being frivolous and touching her face? Face to face, once Helian Xun Xue’s brute force was mustered up, that terrifying power was such that Ling Han couldn’t block it, and even Hu Niu would have to surrender.
“Ah!” Sha Zhan screamed tragically and lay on the ground. A hole opened up on his forehead as he lay straight and still.
‘What!?’
Everyone’s faces twitched; this girl really knocked out a Flower Blossom Tier elite with a brick.
“Physical cultivator!” Bai Yuan blurted two words out. The finally knew why he couldn’t see through Helian Xun Xue—she was a physical cultivator. Her power was condensed in every inch of her flesh and couldn’t be sensed until the moment it was unleashed.
“So, she’s a physical cultivator with shocking brute force!”
“Yes, in close combat, physical cultivators have the absolute advantage.”
“Haha, it’s that guy’s fault for being lustful, wanting to take advantage of her but ending up knocked out by a brick.”
“Yes, If Flower Blossom Tier warriors don’t guard their bodies with Origin Power, their defense isn’t much higher than normal people’s.”
Everyone nodded one after another, thinking that Sha Xuan lost truly wrongly—he really lost to his own lust.
“Hmph, since you’re an expert, why pretend to be in such a delicate state?” A girl from the Thousand Corpse Sect stepped out. She was the ninth, and her name was Han Gu Yun. Although the seventh was defeated, it wasn’t because Sha Xuan’s strength fell short.
She was also remarkably beautiful, but was far inferior compared to Helian Xun Xue. It couldn’t be helped; even if their looks were on the same level, Helian Xun Xue was a genuine Heaven Tier elite, after all; how could a Flower Blossom Tier warrior possibly rival that natural temperament?
Han Gu Yun immediately let out a battle cry and summoned her Corpse Soldiers. While she also had four of them, they were a little stronger than Bian Hao’s Corpse Soldiers, at least possessing fourteen stars in battle prowess.
Despite it being only a difference of one star, on top of this amount, Bian Hao would definitely be crushed by her.
Helian Xun Xue trembled; what the hell were these skeletons… it made her scared.
Peng, peng, peng, peng, the four Corpse Soldiers came attacking noisily with monstrous viciousness.
“Ah…” Helian Xun Xue let out a scream, waving the brick in her hand to swat the Corpse Soldiers. Pa, pa, pa, pa , the four corpses were instantly sent flying, losing their heads and limbs. In short, the four Corpse Soldiers were all incapacitated at once.
Pu , everyone spurted out again.
…A, a great expert!
This was too ridiculous. Sending four Corpse Soldiers flying with a few casual palms, she was even scarier than the little girl earlier.
Looking at her age; she seemed just about twenty years old, so how could she be so strong?
Xuanyuan Zi Guang’s face twitched. He’d originally thought Helian Xun Xue was just a delicate and weak lady, but never thought that her brute force was terrifying to such a degree. The four Corpse Soldiers were instantly smashed into dregs, something he might not even be able to do.
“G-genius, she’s even more freakish than Xuanyuan Zi Guang and Yao Hui Yue!”
Chapter 565

The experienced man earlier was proven wrong once again. This girl who looked somewhat klutzy and cute was clearly more terrifying than the little girl. Her battle prowess was astounding, proven by her demolishing four Corpse Soldiers in only one round.
“Amongst middle state’s geniuses, there’s going to be one more new person,” he exclaimed.
“There won’t be any more similar freaks, right?” someone interrupted.
“Definitely not!” the man said with extreme certainty. Two such exceptional talent emerging in one day was already a great miracle, so how could it possibly happen over and over again?
Helian Xun Xue was still in shock, and as she looked at four skeletons that were smacked into disarray, she couldn’t help but pat her flat chest, saying curiously, “So I’m actually this remarkable?”
Han Gu Yun was now in a dilemma.
The strongest thing about the Thousand Corpse Sect was definitely Corpse Soldiers, but four of them were smacked into dregs at the same time; if she charged up, wouldn’t she just be giving up her life? However, seeing her opponent’s figure which hadn’t a single bit of the aura of an expert, having just surprising brute force, if she retreated without fighting, wouldn’t that be too embarrassing?
“Ninth, back down,” Bai Yuan said. He was a Heaven Tier elite with shrewd insight, and obviously saw that though Helian Xun Xue lacked battle experience, her strength was too too powerful. She only needed to battle with her instincts to win against her opponent because her level had already surpassed the Flower Blossom Tier.
Even if the third went up to face her, it would be useless; the first or the second had to come.
“We all forfeit the next few battles. Lady, you’re quite good. Do you have any interest in joining our sect?” Bai Yuan began to poach; this m
uddled and klutzy girl seemed to be easily deceived.
“Don’t want to!” Helian Xun Xue hurriedly shook her head as she looked at the top of the city wall towards Ling Han, revealing a pitiful expression. She wanted to go back, but it was too high.
Ling Han guided patiently and said, “Jump up on your own, you can do it.”
Helian Xun Xue kept shaking her head, and said, “It’s too high, I can’t jump up.” She had absolutely no confidence.
“If you don’t try, how would you know?” Ling Han said with a smile.
Helian Xun Xue pouted and leapt with all her effort. Xiu , she instantly soared into the sky, not only leaping far beyond the city walls, but also far beyond it, turning into a small black dot.
After a short while, peng , a ball of light suddenly exploded in the skies.
“Not good, she bumped into the city’s large formation!”
“Though the great formation is mainly for defense, ramming it on one’s own accord will still trigger the great formation’s impact; even Deity Transformation Tier elites would be annihilated.”
“It’s over.”
Peng!
At this moment, a figure fell heavily downwards, plunging into the city walls. Under the powerful impact, a section of the city walls collapsed. Amidst the dust-filled air, a silhouette walked out, staggering.
And who else could it be other than Helian Xun Xue?
Everyone’s faces twitched involuntarily. This girl rammed into the great city-guarding formation; just how powerful was her physique for her to be as if nothing happened??
“Ow, ow, ow, ow!” Helian Xun Xue covered her head and groaned, but she was unscathed from top to bottom, leaving everyone speechless.
Ling Han also came to a painful realization. No wonder he was still firmly dominated by her despite losing her memory and being unable to use Origin Power. This wasn’t a coincidence; rather, this girl’s cultivation had reached a terrifying degree.
Helian Xun Xue was like a child who had been wronged as she walked to Ling Han’s side and pulled on the hem of his clothes, looking like she was about to cry. Looking on, everyone was speechless; if anything, or anyone, were to cry, it would be the Thousand Corpse Sect at the bottom and the great city-guarding formation in the sky.
Ling Han looked down, and said to Bai Yuan, “Now, we have a hundred and ninety quotas, right?”
“Right!” Bai Yuan nodded, looking somewhat displeased. He absolutely never would’ve thought… he originally wanted to toughen these ten youngsters so as to avoid them being too proud and arrogant, but now it seemed like they were struck quite hard mentally.
Xuanyuan Zi Guang was alright, at least being rivaled by Ju Tian Ge, but the following appearance of Hu Niu and Helian Xun Xue absolutely just trampled on their confidence.
A six to seven year old little girl and a brute force freak… battling at the same age, they were absolutely invincible beings.
Now, the Thousand Corpse Sect was pressed for a win to boost their morale and increase the confidence of these nine youngsters.
Ling Han leapt down from atop the city wall, and said, “Then I’ll be you guys’ opponent, and earn a few more quotas to leave the city.”
Where did this youngster’s confidence come from?
Bai Yuan smiled grimly. Xuanyuan Zi Guang was in the ninth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier, which was rarely seen at this age segment; moreover, he cultivated 22 flashes of Qi, having terrifying strength. He couldn’t see through Hu Niu and Helian Xunxue, and those he was unable to see through were obviously out of the ordinary.
But Ling Han?
Second layer of the Flower Blossom Tier—obvious at a glance.
Even if this boy could surpass ten stars battle prowess, he would only have twenty stars battle prowess, and about half of the people here could crush him.
Alright, this boy could be used to boost their morale.
Bai Yuan nodded, and said, “Fourth, you go.”
The fourth, Tian Xiu Ning, ranked second in strength amongst the ten people. He was at the eighth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier, and the amount of Corpse Soldiers he could control also reached five; he was not much inferior to Ju Tian Ge.
Directly letting Tian Xiu Ning take the field was a plan to acquire an overwhelming victory to boost morale.
Tian Xiu Ning walked out in large strides. He was nearly thirty years old, tall and sturdy, yet naturally bald. His forehead was glossy and didn’t even grow any eyebrows. His entire face gave people an extremely strange feeling.
Seeing this, Ling Han couldn’t help but smile and say, “Cultivating to the point of balding, your lordship is extraordinary as expected.”
The corner of Tian Xiu Ning’s mouth twitched involuntarily as he said, “Shoot your mouth off like that and ridicule carelessly more. This is only attracting disaster for your own life!”
“Oh, you want to take my life?” Ling Han said with a smile.
“Just from your words just now, you should die!” Tian Xiu Ning said coldly.
“You truly have no sense of humor. Did you break your brain cultivating?” Ling Han said with a smile.
“Impudence!” Tian Xiu Ning attacked with his palm, swatting at Ling Han. Black-colored Corpse Qi turned into a skeleton, biting towards Ling Han.
Ling Han flicked casually with his fingers, and pa, this skeleton instantly burst into pieces. He smiled slightly, and said, “Better summon the Corpse Soldiers. Your bit of strength truly isn’t enough.”
Pu!
Looking on, quite a few people spurted out. Although they only exchanged one move, and both parties didn’t use their full strength, Tian Xiu Ning was in the eighth layer of the Flower Blossom Tier. To be able to neutralize his attack casually like that, Ling Han’s strength was not to be underestimated.
Tian Xiu Ning looked coldly at Ling Han. After a short while, he finally said, “Since you want to be tortured, then I’ll help you!”
He let out a battle cry, and instantly, a hong, long, long sound went off as five caskets slid over, and out jumped five Corpse Soldiers.
“There are actually five Corpse Soldiers!” an old fogey cried out. “The difference of a single corpse, the strength difference is worlds apart. Now, that youngster in danger!”
Chapter 566

Ling Han made a hooking motion with his finger, and said, “Bring it on!”
“As you wish!” Tian Xiu Ning let out a battle cry and controlled the five Corpse Soldiers to attack Ling Han. When the five corpses pounced at Ling Han, covering his entire figure, everyone began to shake their heads; this youngster was obviously dead for sure.
This wasn’t the first person to die today, and wouldn’t be the last, so everyone didn’t take it to heart; who would care about a person who wasn’t a well-known figure?
However, the scene that followed made them dumbstruck.
Ling Han’s figure was actually extremely slick, wandering freely within the enclosing attacks of the five Corpse Soldiers. He would block with his hand the attacks that really couldn’t be dodged, and with a flicker of golden light, the Corpse Soldier that assaulted him would be jolted back.
“How’s it possible!?”
“Isn’t this guy only in the second layer of the Flower Blossom Tier? How can his strength be so terrifying?”
“Those Corpse Soldiers are about fourteen stars in battle prowess, right?”
“Definitely fourteen stars! But this boy can parry it just by waving his hands casually. Such power is too terrifying.”
“A genius, absolutely a genius!”
“Definitely no inferior to Xuanyuan Zi Guang and Yao Hui Yue!”
The face of the experienced old man from earlier twitched. In a short while, three super geniuses ran out, slapping him fiercely on the face; he wished there was a large hole in the ground for him to worm into.
“You do have some strength.” Tian Xiu Ning smiled grimly and joined the battle.
The weapon he used was a bone sword. Judging by the shape of it, it looked like it was made from a large-sized beast’s polished femur. On top of it were vein-like patterns that were definitely naturally formed.
Once activated, the vein-like patterns shone and linked together, unleashing an astounding ray of light.
It was as if Ling Han saw a massive beast floating on top of the blade, and the terrifying size of the beast seemed to be able to overwhelm even heaven and earth. His eyes lit up involuntarily as he said, “This was refined by extracting the femur of Ba Xia, right?”
According to the legends, the true dragon had nine offspring, but each one was different because they were conceived with different beasts and each offspring only inherited part of the true dragon bloodline. Ba Xia was one of them. Its shape was like a fish, and its head was like a lion’s. Yet, it grew a pair of horns and its entire body was covered with dragon scales.
Even if it only had a trace of the true dragon bloodline, the true dragon was the leader of all beasts in the world. It could be seen that its status towered above the masses and possessing a shred of true dragon’s bloodline was extremely remarkable and very hard to come by.
Tian Xiu Ning revealed an astounded look, and said, “You actually recognize this sword?” He only learned of the legend of Ba Xia after being bestowed with the sword. However, the Ba Xia’s bloodline was even more diluted, or else it would really be the dragon’s son; it couldn’t possibly be killed so easily and have its femur extracted and made into a sword.
“The bloodline is thinned and the vein-like patterns are mixed, nothing much to it.” Ling Han made another evaluation.
Instantly, Tian Xiu Ning’s nose twisted in anger; you were shocked at first, but went on with, “nothing much to it”?! How could he possibly accept this. He snorted, and said, “Its more than enough to kill you!”
He waved his sword and slashed at Ling Han. This bone sword was made from the femur of a descendant of a divine beast and refined by adding several precious ingredients; it could be called outstanding amongst sixth tier Spirit Tools. With this strike, a massive phantom image of a beast surfaced immediately, pouncing towards Ling Han.
