The cultivator who was at peak Qian-level could demolish a tall building simply by stomping his foot. If the library collapsed, the dragon cultivators might get away from injuries, but the students, Hao Ren’s parents, and his grandma would be in danger.
Taiyi Cave Master figured that no one there would be able to suppress him. Therefore, he could appear alone and act provocatively without punishment.
“If you ever dare, the Dragon God Shrine will investigate with no doubt.” Su Han walked over and stood beside Hao Ren.
She had been keeping an eye on the old man beside Xu Ke ever since she walked in.
Surprisingly, close to peak Qian-level, Su Han couldn’t sense any nature essence fluctuations, but she didn’t believe that the elder invited by Xu Ke was just a mortal.
“Investigation?” The old man took a glance at Xu Ke and said, “Wouldn’t it be easy for the Dragon God Shrine to end a case? Here is someone for you. As Taiyi Cave Master, I will never overprotect anyone.”
“Me?” Xu Ke paused, looking at the old man blankly.
“Go now…”
Taiyi Cave Master released his power abruptly.
Thousands of calligraphic works hanging in the hall started moving when there wasn’t any wind at all. Then, they got blown away suddenly.
The pouring rain outside of the library flowed back, and Hao Ren’s calligraphic work got drenched immediately.
“Old Man, how dare you!” Su Han twisted her eyebrows, and the look on her face turned to rage.
Dragon cultivators always showed their respect based on strength, but they were still particular about seniority and generation. Only cultivators in the same generation could fight.
The fierce wind blew from outside. The mortals in the library couldn’t stand on their feet, and they all closed their eyes.
Hao Ren was concerned that this old man would destroy the library. Thus, he stomped his feet and rushed out of the library like an arrow.
That was exactly what Taiyi Cave Master wanted. He projected himself by stomping his right foot on the marble floor, and his body flew out at a sharp tilt.
The students in the line outside the entrance suddenly felt the wild wind from the stairs. Shortly, they saw two streaks of light shooting out of the library. The sudden gale forced them to fall sideways as if they were collapsing walls.
As they were about to get up, another streak of white light came out of the library, and they were blown down again by the following gale.
The third streak of light was Su Han. She knew that Hao Ren was unable to defeat the metal-elemental dragon, but he was forced by the latter to battle outside. She was worried that Hao Ren would be taken advantage of. Therefore, she flew out hurriedly to support him.
The few students from the Student Council who were guarding outside the library were way too weak to resist the sudden force. They were pushed to both sides one after another, and none of them knew what was going on.
In the library, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang hardly stood on their feet. Luckily, Grandma was held by Lu Linlin and Lu Lili as she was about to fall.
All the dragon kings realized that something was going, so they all rushed out to the small square outside of the library.
All they saw was a metal-elemental dragon cultivator dressed in grey jacket chasing Hao Ren in hot pursuit up in the air. Following them was Su Han, who stepped on a longsword at high speed.
Whoosh…
Over five hundred club members also rushed outside to look at the sky.
On the stairs, the students tried to look at the sky but only saw layers of dark clouds.
Seeing the metal-elemental dragon cultivator chasing Hao Ren, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were concerned and wanted to help him. However, they couldn’t just disappear with mortals around, and they had to keep Hao Ren’s grandma safe.
The demonic arrow was hanging on Xie Yujia’s neck, but she couldn’t use it to shoot while the entire crowd was watching. All she could do was stand between Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang while she gritted her teeth and worried about Hao Ren.
Same reason applied to all the other dragon cultivators; they couldn’t just disappear like this.
“Heaven Earth Lock!”
Up in the sky, Taiyi Cave Master used a red energy sphere to cover the entire city, which didn’t allow mortals to see the dragon cultivators who used nature essence.
Defeating Taiyi Cave Master was the only way to remove this energy sphere.
The cultivators inside and outside the library were all still in their mortal forms. If they ever used their nature essence, they would disappear immediately.
The secret kept by dragon cultivators for so many years would be revealed if they disappear in front of the mortals.
The reason behind Taiyi Cave Master’s move was to force all the dragon cultivators to remain on the ground so that he would only have to deal with Hao Ren and Su Han.
“Huh!” Taiyi Cave Master raised his hands together and shot five beams of golden light at Su Han.
He didn’t expect Su Han to react so quickly and rush out of the library. Therefore, he had to beat her as well!!
686 One on One
Hao Ren turned around and saw Taiyi Cave Master attacking Su Han, so he hurriedly shot six bolts of lightning.
Su Han frowned when she saw five beams of golden light coming to cut her like sharp blades. The longsword at the bottom of her feet suddenly flew up.
Lady Zhen had already activated the demonic soul inside the longsword; it gave out a clear cry and destroyed the five beams of golden light from Taiyi Cave Master instantly.
“What?” The look on Taiyi Cave Master’s face turned to shock; he felt that Su Han’s treasure wasn’t anything normal.
In fact, Su Han’s sword had the demonic soul of a level 10 demon beast.
The metal-elemental techniques were known for their sharpness and fierceness, but Su Han’s longsword could devour the five elements because of the lightning elements were the combination of all five primary elements.
At the instant when Taiyi Cave Master hesitated, the hundun lightning released by Hao Ren had already reached him.
“Huh!” Taiyi Cave Master waved his sleeve, and a layer of golden light was shot out and pushed the six bolts of lightning away abruptly.
Six big holes appeared on his sleeve, but his ability to easily destroying hundun lightning showed that he was more powerful than Hao Ren expected!
They were fighting back and forth up in the sky. Hao Ren was in front, Taiyi Cave Master was in the middle, and Su Han was behind them.
“I’ll take care of the strongest one!” It was apparent that being in the middle was disadvantageous for Taiyi Cave Master. Therefore, after thinking for a moment, he decided to turn around and shot tens of golden blades at Su Han who was flying behind to him.
Su Han was chasing Taiyi Cave Master at full speed, and she was surprised when she saw Taiyi Cave Master fly back and shooting tens of golden blades toward her. The golden blades were flying from both directions, and they could get her in an instant!
“Watch out!” Hao Ren yelled when he saw Taiyi Cave Master turned around suddenly.
Su Han bit her lips as a layer of frost covered her face. The longsword was pulled in front of her abruptly and drew tens of curves in the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
No one could react in the blink of an eye. Su Han knocked out tens of dagger-sized golden blades with her deft sword technique! Her sword technique used to be average, but she had been practicing hard ever since she lost to Hao Ren last time. The humiliation of losing prompted her to practice her sword technique assiduously, and that was why she had such spectacular progress!
In contrast, the formidable Taiyi Cave Master chose to attack with sneaky weapons.
Whoosh!
In a hurry, a golden blade still got through the shadow of Su Han’s longsword and cut open her skinny jeans!
The black jeans suddenly got tore apart, showing Su Han’s lower leg
.
Thanks to her Ice Frost Scroll, her skin was all covered with a thin layer of frost. The golden blade cut through her jeans and sliced through the frost layer but didn’t hurt Su Han.
Boom!
Hao Ren was simmering with rage and shot out hundreds of sword energies!
All the sword energies were bundled together and thrown at Taiyi Cave Master like a giant bundle of steel bars.
Whoosh…
A golden stick-like object flew out of Taiyi Cave Master’s chest.
The stick-like treasure ran into Hao Ren’s sword energies and blasted them into pieces!
The sky turned colorful instantly.
The students in front of the library couldn’t see the combat between Hao Ren and Taiyi Cave Master, but they could roughly see lights coming out of the clouds as if someone were shooting fireworks on a rainy day.
Grandma looked up for a while but didn’t figure out what happened, so she turned around and asked, “Where is Ren?”
The library was in a mess just now, and everyone ran out of the library. Grandma thought of Hao Ren at this moment, so she asked immediately.
“I asked him to look for something in the office; he will be back shortly,” Lu Qing explained quickly as he was standing nearby.
“Ok…” Grandma nodded without overthinking.
She then looked back at the sky but still had no clue. She touched her shoulder and said, “It is quite cold outside.”
“Mom, how about waiting inside?” Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang walked Grandma into the library.
Grandma looked at the crowd but didn’t find Su Han either. She thought that the latter had to take care of something as well, so she didn’t think twice about it.
Zhao Yanzi raised her head, trying to see how Hao Ren was doing. However, when she saw Grandma going inside, she clenched her teeth and decided to keep Grandma company in the library.
She was also worried that Hao Ren would lose to that old man, but she was more worried that someone would try to take the opportunity and hurt Hao Ren’s grandma and parents. She had to protect them.
Zhao Yanzi was usually careless, but she was thoughtful under this circumstance.
Standing outside of the library, Xie Yujia held her own hands while looking at Hao Ren with great concern, but she didn’t notice that Grandma had gone back to the library.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were also biting on their lips and ready to help at any time, but neither of them thought of protecting Grandma at this moment.
Up in the high sky, Hao Ren was thrown hundreds of meters away and finally had a clear look at the treasure shot out by Taiyi Cave Master. It was a King Kong pestle with two wide ends and a slim middle part.
On both side of the King Kong pestle were two golden dragons that seemed unbreakable and revealed enormous nature essence while spinning.
Taiyi Cave Master put two of his fingers together. As soon as he slightly waved them, the King Kong pestle turned around and rushed to Su Han.
Su Han also realized that this treasure was unusual, so she gathered all her power to force her natal dharma treasure, the longsword, to fight against it.
Bang…
The King Kong pestle and longsword made a heaven-shaking noise. The King Kong pestle got bounced back while Su Han’s longsword flew back as well.
Holding her hands tightly and controlling her longsword, Su Han couldn’t keep the blood from coming out of her mouth. She then got knocked back with her longsword.
“Su Han…” Hao Ren yelled, trying to catch Su Han, but he was blocked by tens of golden blades from Taiyi Cave Master.
Instantly, Hao Ren blasted hundreds of swords energies that demolished all the golden blades.
As Su Han was about to fall in the lake in the middle of campus, Little White jumped out of the bush and caught Su Han after it turned into its snow lion form.
Little White rolled over and placed Su Han on the grass beside the lake. Then, it roared and shot a fireball while flying toward Taiyi Cave Master.
“Level 4 spirit beast!” Taiyi Cave Master moved his hand and forced the King Kong pestle to fly toward Little White.
“Little White, back up!” Knowing that Little White couldn’t fight against the King Kong pestle, and it could be injured or even killed, Hao Ren gave his order immediately.
Receiving Hao Ren’s order, Little White released an enormous amount of demonic essence and ran toward the side.
It was absorbing the energy from the level 10 demonic core and fell asleep during the process. It got woken up by the loud fighting noises and found Su Han and Hao Ren fighting an old man in the air. Then, Su Han fell from the sky.
Taiyi Cave Master didn’t want to waste energy on chasing a level 4 spirit beast, so he took back the King Kong pestle immediately.
Then, he looked at Hao Ren with a casual expression and said, “It’s your turn now.”
Standing on the golden boat transformed from the purple gold hairpin, Hao Ren took the golden shield out of his necklace.
The golden shield was now as dark as if it were a piece of black steel that got beaten thousands of times.
“You still want to resist under this circumstance? I won’t hurt you if you give me the three things that I want,” Taiyi Cave Master continued.
The dragon kings and elders were all shocked when they saw the ferocious metal-elemental dragon cultivator easily defeating a top-tier Qian-level inspector.
At the moment, no one was sure that they could help Hao Ren. Based on their realms, they would be knocked away easily if they chose to help, so why would they bother humiliating themselves in front of the other dragon palaces?
Seeing Hao Ren in danger, Lu Qing moved his feet and was about to help, but Zhao Guang stopped him.
It would be suicide for Lu Qing if he went up there to help since Su Han wasn’t even able to defend the metal-elemental dragon cultivator.
Zhao Guang noticed that Hao Ren was getting something, which meant that he had a card up his sleeve. Therefore, Zhao Guang didn’t let Lu Qing go.
In the sky, Taiyi Cave Master shook his head when he saw Hao Ren taking out the ‘black plate’ without saying anything.
“It seems that I have to rob it from you since you aren’t willing to give it to me!”
The golden shield didn’t have much nature essence around it and changed its look. Even Taiyi Cave Master couldn’t recognize that it was the Heaven-Reaching Shield.
Taiyi Cave Master switched from all kinds of complicated hand gestures, and the 20-centimeter-long King Kong pestle started to shine.
“You won’t have any trouble if you give them to me. I will give you three seconds…” Taiyi Cave Master tried to persuade.
He was worried that it would take extra effort if he killed Hao Ren by accident while Hao Ren didn’t have those three things on him.
“Three…”
“Two…”
“One…”
Hum!
The ‘black plate’ suddenly emitted dazzling golden light!
“Heaven-Reaching Shield!” Taiyi Cave Master narrowed his eyes and screamed out in surprise.
However, it emitted a golden light and didn’t obey Taiyi Cave Master’s order. In the last few seconds, Hao Ren talked to the golden shield in his mind, and he made a deal with it and asked it to use its full power once.
“You think that the Heaven-Reaching Shield can defend my Demon-Conquering Pestle? You are too naive! The Demon-Conquering Pestle is Heaven-Reaching Shield’s nemesis!”
Taiyi Cave Master released golden lights from his palm and shot them abruptly. “Go!”
As Taiyi Cave Master, how could he only have one supreme spiritual treasure? He gave the Heavenly-Reaching Shield to Xu Ke, but he still had supreme spiritual treasures which were even stronger.
The Demon-Conquering Pestle was a supreme spiritual treasure above the level of the Heaven-Reaching Shield. Although they were both supreme spiritual treasures, the Heaven-Reaching Shield wouldn’t be able to bl
ock the Demon-Conquering Pestle which aimed to destroy treasures!
He would just use the Demon-Conquering Pestle to destroy the Heaven-Reaching Shield since the latter wasn’t willing to surrender!
Hum… The two supreme spiritual treasures shined. All the dragon cultivators standing at the entrance of the library were shocked!
A supreme spiritual treasure was rare enough, not to mention the combat between two supreme spiritual treasures!
What kind of power and courage did it take for the East Ocean Dragon King’s son-in-law to fight against a peak Qian-level cultivator?
Suddenly, the ordinary students on the stairs saw two lumps of golden lights coming through the clouds!
687 Heavenly Dragon Scroll
Clang! The golden shield and the vajra collided with each other.
The nature essence and golden light shot outward, shattering the dark clouds in the sky and splitting them.
It had been raining for half a day, but it now stopped suddenly, and the sky turned cloudy.
The dragon cultivators before the library looked up at the sky with widened eyes.
In the space between Hao Ren and Taiyi Cave Master, the vajra and the golden shield pushed against each other. The golden shield spun with a small dent on its surface, but it wasn’t broken. Instead, golden material revealed beneath the dent as if the dark matter on top was only a layer of dirt.
In contrast, the vajra’s sharp tip was pushed in a little!
“How… is this possible?” Taiyi Cave Master widened his eyes in disbelief.
After all, the Heaven-Reaching Shield was half a level lower than the Demon-Conquering Vajra before. When these two dharma treasures were together, the Heaven-Reaching Shield had never dared to show any disobedience to the Demon-Conquering Vajra!
Taiyi Cave Master didn’t know that the golden shield had passed another Heavenly Tribulation in the Demon Sea with abundant nature essence around Moon Festival when the star energy was the strongest, which made it one level higher than ordinary supreme spiritual treasures!
According to the usual rules about dharma treasures, the offensive dharma treasures were indeed stronger than the defensive dharma treasures. However, the golden shield wasn’t on the same level as the vajra anymore!
