Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294

by Flying Alone 孤单地飞

  After the incessant chatter, Li Feng Yu felt his mouth had run dry. He then turned his head around, and saw that everyone’s line of sight was centered on him while their mouths were gaping open. He couldn’t help but voice out impatiently, “I am already running out of words to say here, and had intended to repeat it once again from the beginning. Why haven’t the lot of you flee?”

  Ling Han bellowed out a hearty laugh, and responded, “Isn’t this to see to what extent you could sing the praises?”

  He now had the confidence to even defeat the Small Saber King under his sword; was there any need to bolt just because of some rumors of Yuan Cheng He? What a joke.

  Yuan Cheng He reacted abruptly. He couldn’t help but reveal his indignation as he exclaimed with rage, “You’re good, you actually dare to hoodwink me!”

  Li Feng Yu was scared out of his wits, and promptly took to his heels. Although he was also a genius, he was nowhere near the level of Yuan Cheng He. Furthermore, he was even falling short by a whole cultivation tier. How would he dare to fight?

  “Brother Ling, show your strength!” he shouted.

  “You hateful guy, I want to kill— I want to thrash you!” Yuan Cheng He roared. He originally intended to say that he wanted to slaughter the other party, but this test strictly prohibited any killing. He would not want to be disqualified from entering the Restore Heaven Academy just because of this.

  “Brother Ling, take care of this fellow, and I will gift you my sister as wife,” Li Feng Yu shouted again.

  “Brother!” Li Zi Xian rebuked with a red face. How could he say such things, wasn’t it like betraying her already?

  “Ling Han would not want this ugly woman!” Hu Niu charged forward in Ling Han’s stead, not allowing Ling Han the opportunity to make a move.

  She transformed into lightning, and with a flash, appeared in front of Yuan Cheng He. Her small fist struck out towards him in an attack.

  “Hm?” Yuan Cheng He was startled. It never occurred to him that a wisp of a girl could actually have such speed, and even more so he would not have thought that she was of the same cultivation level as him. This was a hard blow to his confidence.

  He had always been very proud of his cultivation level. 27 years old and already in the Spiritual Infant Tier—it was an unprecedented feat. Yet now, a little girl of seven to eight years of age was impressively also at the Spiritual Infant Tier. So what was there to take pride in?

  Clang!

  He drew out a treasured sword, but did not unsheathe it, and only used the scabbard to block Hu Niu’s oncoming fist. But the lightning surged through the scabbard and spread towards his arm.

  “Heng!” He gave a light humph. There were flames roving on his body which intensely collided with the onslaught of lightning. The martial intent transformed into dazzling rays of light as it mingled in the air and took different forms and shapes.

  Hu Niu agilely leapt into the air and somersaulted before retreating.

  Ling Han nodded his head. No wonder this person could be compared in strength with Yao Hui Yue. He was indeed very strong given that he could firmly withstand a blow from Hu Niu and not fall into a disadvantage. Not many at the Spiritual Infant Tier could achieve such a feat.

  Little did they know, Yuan Cheng He was actually even more taken aback.

  He was immensely conceited, thinking that even those in Yao Hui Yue and the Small Saber King’s class were no match against him. He had come to Restore Heaven Academy to begin his legendary journey. Who would have guessed that had yet to enter the Academy, and here randomly emerged a little girl who was already capable to fight him and be his equal in power.

  Although he did not use any ultimate techniques, but an expert could tell whether another had real ability once he made his move, and this little girl was not to be underestimated.

  “Ugly, come and chase after Niu!” Hu Niu provoked while clapping her hands.

  Yuan Cheng He grunted, and unsheathed his sword. He then called out, “The lot of you intend to let a little girl to fight for you. Humph, you have the nerve.”

  Ling Han laughed as he countered, “You could not even defeat the youngest in our midst, yet you still want to challenge the others? You should thank us that we did not bully you, and just casually sent a little girl to play with you.”

  These words were really fitting—a little girl of seven to eight years old could definitely be deemed as casually playing. Even if he were to tell others, who would believe that this little girl was a skilful master of the Spiritual Infant Tier?

  Yuan Cheng He could not refute Ling Han’s words; as such, he had no other choice but to hide his gloom inwardly. Who told him to encounter such a monster…

  “Hu Niu, strike him down, I want to take him in as lackey,” Ling Han said as he snickered.

  “Okay!” Hu Niu replied in a clear and crisp voice. “Just leave it to Niu.”

  “Damn it!” Yuan Cheng He flew into a rage as soon as he heard it. He had the delusion of subduing him to become his lackey and treat him like any other small fry? He unsheathed his sword at once and charged in Ling Han’s direction.

  “Your opponent is Niu!” Hu Niu’s figure nimbly fleeted in midair, and then appeared in front of Yuan Cheng He, her small fist aimed directly at his face.

  Yuan Cheng He had no choice but to tilt his head to one side to dodge the blow, at the same time thrusting his sword forward towards Hu Niu.

  This could possibly be a formidable adversary who was not the slightest bit inferior to himself. How would he dare to allow his opponent to unrestrainedly strike him with blows. He could probably end up being hit to the extent that even this mother would not be recognize him.

  The duo engaged in combat, thereupon launching into a battle in full swing right away.

  Yuan Cheng He was indeed of great strength, being able to face Hu Niu head on. At least, he did not look like he would be defeated any time soon. The onlookers clicked their tongues in wonder, and did not withhold their praise of his ability. One had to know that before this, even the skeleton monsters were toppled by Hu Niu in a frontal attack.

  Yet Yuan Cheng He didn’t know of it, and only heard what they said on the surface, so he felt exceedingly awkward. He had actually been reduced to such a sorry state that he could only be equal with a little girl?

  “Ah!” he let out a big howl; he was finally able to execute his ultimate technique. Amid the motions of his sword style, he appeared to have become a sword top rapidly swirling, slicing towards Hu Niu.

  Over twenty flashes of Sword Qi swept over; it was fearful to the extreme.

  “Interesting!” Ling Han nodded his head. There was a maximum limit to the Sword Qi that a cultivator could form—only thirty flashes of Sword Qi at most. The physical strength was also limited, and the number of sword strikes that could be delivered by twisting the wrist in a split second similarly had an upper limit.

  However, after the fusion of sword and body, Yuan Cheng He’s entire body moved, which, as a matter of fact, heightened greatly the might of his sword style.

  Originally, the strain was on the wrist, but now the whole body had actually blended in, so it had naturally reduced the burden on the wrist, which increased the frequency with which he could deliver sword strikes.

  Shadows of tens and thousands of swords simultaneously attacked, in addition to the Sword Qi. The force it emanated was alarming.

  “Don’t want to play with you anymore!” With a xiu , Hu Niu transformed into lightning and dodged, moving at a remarkably swift speed. Even the blade of the sword could not catch up to her.

  Yuan Cheng He felt helpless; his sword style was exceptionally powerful, yet if it could not even hit the target, then what was the point? Encountering a quick opponent like Hu Niu, he felt dispirited, not knowing where he should attack.

  He fixed his eyes on Ling Han, then muttered to himself, �
�This guy would not also move as swiftly, would he?”

  “Fight me!” He lunged over in Ling Han’s direction since he was the one carrying the strange stones with him.

  “Niu has returned again!” Hu Niu yelled, and true to her words, she came storming back over, with her clenched fist poised to strike. Electric currents sparked rampantly as she sent her attack in the direction of Yuan Cheng He’s back.

  Yuan Cheng He had no choice but to counter the attack, and he could no longer continue his course to attack Ling Han.

  Every time, as soon as he used his ultimate technique, Hu Niu would scamper off in a run. But, afterwards, she’d then promptly return yet again to attack, determinedly pestering Yuan Cheng He and making him lose his temper completely.

  “Little girl, don’t run off if you have the guts!” Yuan Cheng He could not refrain from challenging Hu Niu; he was fuming with anger at her antics.

  “Fine! I will stop running, you think Niu is afraid of you?” Hu Niu retorted sticking out both her hands on her waist in a fearless stance. “Ugly people are always up to no good. See how Niu will finish you off!”

  Yuan Cheng He exulted on seeing this chance, and he leaped over his sword aimed to strike, charging to attack Hu Niu.

  “Niu is leaving!” Hu Niu jeered as she ran off once again.

  Yuan Cheng He’s attack naturally fell short again. Angry to the extreme, he laughed, and exclaimed, “Going back on your words…”

  He had only just started when he found he could not continue on with his words. How old was she?

  “Hahahaha, you are so dumb, ugly guy. Niu is only teasing you!” Hu Niu laughed gleefully while she pushed up her sleeves and boldly stated, “Fine then, this time I will be serious and beat you into submission!”

  How would Yuan Cheng He fall from the same trick again? He was one of the prodigies of this generation, not a fool.

  “Niu’s ultimate technique is unparalleled, and absolutely invincible. Anyone who sees it would be fearful. Any ghost who sees it is frightened by it. Super Tyrant Dragon Claws!” Hu Niu leapt out with both her hands formed into claws, aiming at Yuan Cheng He’s chest.

  This time, it was for real!

  Yuan Cheng He was stunned, and hastily raised his sword in a slicing arc towards Hu Niu. An immeasurable force burst forth, while more than twenty flashes of Sword Qi swept over, creating a breathtaking view amidst the vast sky.

  Hong!

  A terrifying collision created a small-sized mushroom cloud, while the shock wave from the clash forced away the fog in the surrounding, revealing bare earth. Fortunately, the whole ravine was practically barren with only bits and pieces of rocks. If not, this strike would surely have caused a great number of trees to suffer.

  “Hit hit hit hit hit!” Hu Niu’s excited yell could be heard from amid all the dust.

  As the dust dispersed and the scene within lay clearly visible, it became apparent that Hu Niu has already attained the complete upper hand and was on the offense, hitting Yuan Cheng He as she held him down, time and again striking him hard on his chest, hands, and face.

  Yuan Cheng He’s face, which had been perfectly fine a moment ago, was now already deformed, the swelling akin to a pig’s head, with bruises of green and purple all over, and looked very comical.

  Everyone cried out in shock. Hu Niu was really too fierce—even Yuan Cheng He was defeated in this little girl’s hand.

  Peng!

  Hu Niu landed another kick, which sent Yuan Cheng He flying. He glided to a stop just right beside Ling Han’s feet.

  Ling Han crouched down, and laughingly asked, “Now do you concede?”

  “No I don’t!” Yuan Cheng He snapped back with his head held high. He naturally would not concede; how would he be willing to be defeated by a little girl?

  “Then you can go on and continue being beaten.” Ling Han also gave him a kick.

  Yuan Cheng He reflexively propped up both his arms to shield his handsome pig’s face. Bang , he was sent flying back by Ling Han’s kick, while Hu Niu rushed forth, and the fight started again.

  Bang, bang, bang, after merely a few rounds, Yuan Cheng He was yet again kicked and sent gliding back to Ling Han’s feet once more.

  “So how is it? Still not conceding defeat?” Ling Han asked in amusement.

  “Of course not!” Yuan Cheng He’s character was quite unyielding.

  “Then go again.” Ling Han once again sent Yuan Cheng He out with a kick.

  Gliding here and there, Yuan Cheng He was being treated like a ball being tossed around, revolving to and fro between Ling Han and Hu Niu.

  Qing Lian Yue and the others hissed. That was none other than Yuan Cheng He, the one reputed to be able to challenge Yao Hui Yue, Small Saber King, and the likes of them. Yet now, he was actually being beaten to a state that he wouldn’t even be able to tell which way north was.

  What a wimp.

  Not knowing how many rounds it had been, Yuan Cheng He once again glided to Ling Han’s feet. This time, Ling Han did not even bother asking, and was in the motion of raising his feet to kick him and send him flying back when, much to his surprise, Yuan Cheng He actually shouted, “Concede, I concede!”

  Bang , he was still sent flying back.

  “Sorry, sorry! I got used to kicking you back” Ling Han promptly exclaimed with a laugh.

  What a f********* lack of sincerity.

  Yuan Cheng He was swearing internally, and only managed to say one line before he was again being hit by Hu Niu’s fist. Amidst the onslaught of fist after violent fist, he ended up lying at Ling Han’s feet yet again.

  This time round, Ling Han at last did not kick him again. Instead, he was smiling as he remarked, “Since you have conceded, then come show your respects to your big brother.”

  Yuan Cheng He got up, got his breath back, and said, “It was that little girl who defeated me, so unless you could show me strength that could make me concede, I would rather die than submit!”

  “Not submitting?” Ling Han smiled. “Don’t act steadfast with me. Even if you were straight, I could also make Li Feng Yu, that blabbermouth, ramble away at you to make you bend! I’ve finally realized that you’re the type that naturally wants to be beaten. All right, then, I’ll just give you another beating.”

  “Hehe.” Hu Niu ceased her onslaught of blows, and stood by the side with her arms crossed over her chest while enjoying the exciting exchange.

  With an indifferent expression, Yuan Cheng He spoke up, “As long as you can defeat me, only then will I acknowledge you as my boss.”

  Ling Han gave the words some thought; then, with his left hand behind his back, he remarked, “How about this: I will fight you with only one hand, lest it is said that I bully you.”

  What arrogance!

  Yuan Cheng He humphed. If Ling Han could really defeat him unarmed single-handedly, then he would accept the inevitable, and truly acknowledge him as his boss. He raised his sword to level while he uttered, “Then come face my Seven Swords Descend Mountain Yin.”

  Boom , a wave of energy gushed forth and emanated from within his body, causing billows of dust, forming a ring which undulated in all directions.

  He was building up force; the power of this strike was definitely unparalleled.

  Ling Han did not rush to attack, either; if he were to subdue this genius, then he certainly had to do it such that he was genuinely convinced.

  “Seven Swords, Descend Yin Mountain!” Yuan Cheng He delivered a strike. “The first style, Mountains Exhaust and Streams End!”

  Rays of light bounced off the sword’s blade and spilled forth, while the sword’s energy encircled and besieged the target. One after another, again and again, the rays from the sword were all over the place. To be enveloped and wrapped in the sword’s rays would definitely be mountain and river exhausted[1.It’s an idiom which basically means “with nowhere to go”,”at the end of the line”.].

  Using his arm as a sword, Ling Han charged towards the oppos
ing party; sword intent flowed forth, making one feel that it was definitely an ultimate treasured sword without precedent.

  “How ignorant!” Seeing that Ling Han was actually intending to use his arm to block his treasured sword, Yuan Cheng He could not refrain from giving a snort. Was he planning to seek his own death?

  Ding!

  Ling Han’s arm collided with the treasured sword. Origin Power ripples clearly couldn’t be seen, yet a chain of sparks burst as if two metal weapons were clashing.

  Yuan Cheng He was immediately dumbfounded. You dang weirdo, you’re actually able to resist seventh-tier Spirit Tool head on?

  “How can your body be so hard,” he cried out.

  “If I’m not a bit kickass, how can I be your boss?” Ling Han said with a smile.

  “You really got full of it.” Yuan Cheng He snorted. “I admit that your physical body is extremely hard, but that’s all it is. To defeat me, that alone won’t’ be enough!”

  “Ling Han smiled slightly, and said, “You’ve got so much superfluous talk, got to change it in the future. I like people that prefer action over words.”

  “Dream on!” Yuan Cheng He shouted, and raised his long sword. “Seven Swords Descend Mountain Yin, the second style, Unleashing a Horde of Ghosts!”

  Xiu, xiu, xiu , with fierce sword shadows, evil ghosts appeared from thin air and charged towards Ling Han

  “Oh, so it also has the effect of confusing the divine sense?” Ling Han snorted lightly, and used his arm like a longsword to strike, causing sword lights to fly, all-conquering.

  He cultivated Diamond Body, and his physique was comparable to rare metal one tier higher in toughness. This meant that his arm was no different from a treasured sword forged from eighth-tier rare metal, and the hand was part of him. The vein-like lines naturally interwove in every inch of his blood and flesh, more like a Spirit Tool than a Spirit Tool.
