C269 Steady above Yourself
Even though he was injured, he wasn't afraid when facing off against high-level cultivators of the Congealing Void.
Duan Tanshen's expression gradually darkened. He said to Xia Ling in a cold voice, "Since you don't know how to appreciate favors, don't blame me for being rude!"
Before he finished his sentence, he had already taken a big step forward. His right hand formed a claw and grabbed towards Xia Ling's shoulder!
This movement was extremely fast, and the sharp claws seemed to emit sonic booms in the air!
At this time, Duan Tanshen did not plan to hold back anymore. In his opinion, it was enough to break Xia Ling's shoulder and grab him!
This was already much better than breaking his legs from the beginning. This brat should be glad.
However, to Duan Tanshen's surprise, Xia Ling dodged the attack extremely straightforwardly.
It was as though he had predicted his own attack route and prepared himself in advance!
Not only that, when Xia Ling retreated, he also pointed his right index finger at Duan Tanshen's wrist!
If this sword finger was real, then Duan Tanshen's arm would be crippled!
This Congealing Void High Rank cultivator turned pale with fright. He immediately exploded forth with his speed and dodged Xia Ling's attack. Within the small room, both of them were like a passing phantom as they exchanged moves at an extremely fast speed!
There was only the sound of a violent collision and explosions in the air, and even the figure of a person had become indistinct.
The more they fought, the more Duan Tanshen was secretly shocked. This kid who looked like he was only at the early stage of the Congealing Void, actually possessed a strength that was not at all inferior to his own during the exchange of blows!
Moreover, his comprehension and fighting will were even more stable than his own!
Actually, Xia Ling was also a bit surprised, this Duan Tanshen had some ability after all.
One Origin Sect was a type of Super Sect, and even if one was a cultivator of the Congealing Void rank, one would still not be the usual weak and powerless sect. This was also relatively easy to understand. If he didn't have any outstanding points, with just the strength of the Congealing Void level, how could he enter the eyes of the Super Sect?
That was why Xia Ling, in his injured state, did not take this cultivator down immediately after the exchange.
However, as he smiled, his hands actually moved even faster.
At this time, Duan Tanshen couldn't hold on any longer. Xia Ling's battle experience wasn't wasted. The higher the speed in which a battle was fought, the more it would test the cultivator's battle prowess. Otherwise, no matter how powerful one was, it would be impossible to control it.
Although the injuries left behind by Xia Ling and Dark Demon Region Cultivator Zheng Yecheng had not completely healed yet, they were not much of a hindrance anymore. It could be said that they might not be able to deal with the cultivators with Essencial Core Rank, but with high level Congealing Void, there was no problem at all.
The two continued to fight, and at the same time, Xia Ling unexpectedly struck out with his palm. Duan Tanshen did not expect this attack at all. In an instant, he no longer had any energy left to defend as he was hit on the back with a palm!
Duan Tanshen couldn't stop his body for a moment and was knocked out of the inn. He almost vomited a mouthful of blood. In other words, Xia Ling was not at his peak condition yet. Otherwise, if he were to slap out with his palm, this high-level Congealing Void cultivator would probably have broken a few bones.
Duan Tanshen fell out of the inn and landed on the ground with difficulty. He turned his head and looked at Xia Ling with surprise and uncertainty.
This seemingly early stage Congealing Void cultivator actually had such powerful strength!
After this exchange, Duan Tanshen had really restrained all the contempt he had for Xia Ling. Even if he was in the middle of a discussion, he only dared to call Xia Ling a "cultivator" and didn't dare to say "brat"!
That was out of the question, since he was so strong, he should have reported this to Young Master Lee Weicheng sooner. Duan Tanshen didn't dare to stay here in case there were any more misunderstandings, so his figure flashed a few times before he disappeared into the night.
Xia Ling didn't pursue him and allowed him to escape just like that. Actually, if he was going to attack, Duan Tanshen would not be able to escape unscathed.
However, with Sword Emperor's status, it would be too generous of him to tangle with such a junior.
Since Xia Ling did not give chase, even though Duan Tanshen got hit, his speed was still very fast. Before long, they had arrived at the place where Lee Weicheng was staying and entered through the reporting door.
Lee Weicheng was in the study room looking at the accounts. When he heard Duan Tanshen's voice, he asked with a smile, "How is it? Has the matter been resolved?"
Duan Tanshen could only smile bitterly, "I was entrusted by Young Master to not capture him."
Lee Weicheng put down the book in his hand in shock. He stood up and asked, "What, are you not strong enough? Or is it that they have the advantage of numbers? "
Duan Tanshen didn't hide anything and answered honestly, "The enemy is indeed stronger than me. I am not his match."
Lee Weicheng frowned and said, "This person... To be strong to such an extent, and able to suppress the Congealing Void High Rank cultivator, could it be that he is already close to the Essencial Core Rank? "
A Essencial Core Rank cultivator, was not some random cultivator. Even if One Origin Sect was not afraid of anyone, Lee Weicheng did not plan to provoke a Essencial Core Rank cultivator for no reason.
Duan Tanshen said hesitantly: "... This person's strength is definitely above that of my subordinate's. Moreover, when we fought just now, it was only because he hasn't even drawn his sword! "
" "What!?" Lee Weicheng was even more shocked, could it be that his opponent could lift the heavy sword as though it were light when facing off against a high level Congealing Void cultivator, and did not even need to use his sword?
It was indeed Duan Tanshen's mistake. It was not that Xia Ling was overconfident and did not intend to attack. Instead, it was at this time, the Old Dragon Sword was currently absorbing the energy of the Soul Stone, making it inconvenient for it to make a move.
However, who would have thought that this action would raise the two's estimation of Xia Ling's strength to a whole new level.
Lee Weicheng was taken aback. He sat down and thought for a while. According to Duan Tanshen, that young cultivator might really be a genius amongst geniuses. Other than their own One Origin Sect, it was possible that only a few large sects in the world would be able to cultivate such a young cultivator.
But if it was really the disciples of those big sects, why would they fight in such a small medicine store?
Lee Weicheng immediately felt that there were some problems. He frowned and instructed: "Go, get that alchemist in charge of Yongyuan Herbal Medicine Shop over here right now. Hurry!"
He wanted to personally ask that apothecary what was going on.
Liu Yiwei was forcefully dragged out from under a warm blanket.
When Duan Tanshen returned, it was already late. Liu Yiwei was injured during the day, so he let his concubine take it off early.
But just as he fell asleep, a servant came to report that Young Master Li, who was in One Origin Sect, was invited.
Liu Yiwei was extremely unhappy that he was woken up by someone midway through his sleep. But facing Shangguan, he didn't dare to flare up and could only grumble in his heart.
That bastard surnamed Li, did he really think that he was some kind of character? Why did he come to bother me now?
