Chapter 182 - 182: Furious Flood Dragon Gang Leader! Five Qi Grandmaster! (1)
At night.
The martial artists who had rested for a day also recovered some stamina.
They decided to travel through the night and leave.
The battle that happened during the day was too terrifying. They were scared to death just by hiding in their rooms and listening to the commotion.
It was hard to imagine what terrifying pressure Han Zhao, Lang Fanyun, Su Tianqi, and Su Ningqiu, who were facing the enemy head-on, were under.
The group rode the night and hurried in the direction of Blackrock City.
Han Zhao and Lang Fanyun were at the front of the team, the injured were in the middle, and Su Tianqi and Su Ningqiu were at the back.
Along the way, Su Tianqi remained silent. Su Ningqiu could not help but ask,
“Cousin, what’s wrong? Are your injuries worsening? Does it hurt a lot?”
Seeing his cousin looking at him with concern, Su Tianqi smiled and shook his head. “It’s nothing, Cousin. I’m thinking about something.”
“Oh.” Su Ningqiu did not ask further.
Su Tianqi was indeed thinking about something. He was thinking about what happened yesterday and today.
Yesterday, he had been affected by the dream demon’s illusion. He had clearly seen books about dream demons in the family, but he was helpless in the illusion. Instead, Han Zhao took the initiative to break the stalemate. In the end, it was Han Zhao and Lang Fanyun who saved them.
The battle today was the same. Mei Qiaoyan, who claimed to be the Blood Spirit Hall Master of the Longevity Sect, could cultivate body refinement cultivation methods as a woman and become the hall master of a cult like the Longevity Sect that preyed on the weak and had cruel competition. She was naturally a top expert of the same realm.
However, he was also a direct descendant of the Su family, one of the three aristocratic families in the Cloud Prefecture. He was also a legacy disciple of the Heavenly Mystic Sect and was considered an outstanding figure in the same realm.
However, today’s battle had taught him a lesson.
Although the competition in the sect was intense, and there were some geniuses that he had to look up to, those battles were almost not life-threatening under the protection of the teachers. It was rare for them to fight to the death and narrowly win.
Most of the time, the teachers would stop him in time.
Today was the first time he had encountered a real bloody battle in his life.
In the battle, Mei Qiaoyan exchanged injuries with him many times.
If he really wanted to exchange injuries for injuries, he definitely had a way to kill her, but he did not dare to at all. Or rather, he did not have Mei Qiaoyan’s desperate drive.
His fighting style was still at the level of sparring in the sect.
Otherwise, he would not have been injured by Mei Qiaoyan in the end.
How could he have the chance to be ranked at the top of the Qilin Ranking and the Qian Heaven Ranking in the future with such a sloppy battle method?
As a descendant of an aristocratic family, he gave up his bloodline advantage and focused on cultivating martial arts because he had a dream of becoming a Martial God in his heart, a dream of reviving his martial arts.
However, he did not even have the heart of an expert.
If Lang Fanyun had defeated Mei Qiaoyan today, he would not have felt so uncomfortable. This was because Lang Fanyun was indeed much stronger than him.
However, in the end, Han Zhao used a secret technique that lost his lifespan to kill Mei Qiaoyan, who was already at the end of her rope.
He was clearly stronger than Han Zhao. If he risked his life, his injuries might not be as serious as they were now and he would be able to kill Mei Qiaoyan.
“Sigh…” Thinking of this, Su Tianqi let out a long sigh.
“Cousin…” Su Ningqiu saw that Su Tianqi was like a defeated rooster and did not know how to comfort him.
Although his cousin did not have the demeanor of an expert most of the time, she never had to worry about his safety when she went out with him. He always did things flawlessly. This time, he seemed to have been severely dealt a blow.
Han Zhao, who was walking in front of the team, did not know Su Tiangi’s complicated psychological journey.
In order to pretend to be better, he even had his avatar support him as he walked, looking weak.
This trip was really a huge gain.
As his realm increased, the Yin energy needed to simulate increased. Now, even with the Essence Soul Bead and the Red Dragon Halberd divine weapon fragment providing Yin energy regularly, he could only simulate it once every seven to eight months on average.
Moreover, after his external cultivation broke through to the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering, the price of the simulation would increase.
However, this time, he had used two simulations at the Fragrant Meat Manor, and there was still residual Yin energy.
The Heavenly River Rain Overturning Sword Technique had been upgraded to the Fifth Level and reached the Greater Mastery stage of Force Tempering.
The Three Essence Force also strengthened further. It was not far from the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering.
The Blood Spirit Policy directly increased by a large level, saving him several years of bitter cultivation.
As for the Dream Demon Domain that he could not use for the time being, it might be of great use in the future.
He did not mind a few more “accidents” like this. Perhaps he would be able to cultivate many martial arts to the Greater Mastery of Force Tempering soon.
Two days later, Han Zhao caught up to Xu Lings team.
After that, they spent another three days returning to Blackrock City.
Because the Blood Spirit Hall’s Hall Master and the Longevity Sect’s Guardian had been killed, the Lingyun Trading Company’s order was left unsettled.
Naturally, there was no need to compensate. Instead, he earned a huge deposit.
When they returned to Blackrock City, Lu Yi was already prepared at the martial arts school.
Half of the disciples were willing to follow Lu Yi to the prefecture capital, and a portion of them were disciples of the large families in the inner city.
Compared to the stable and comfortable Blackrock City, they preferred to venture into the outside world.
Han Zhao readily agreed to this.
As long as they did not bring their families along, he was willing to take them in.
After all, it was a journey of more than 3,000 miles. If one could afford a horse, it was fine to ride a horse.
If he purely relied on walking, who knew how long he would have to walk with ordinary people? Getting sick along the way was also a big problem.
Only after these martial artists stabilized their foundation in the prefecture capital would they bring their families over to enjoy life..
