Chapter 135: Chapter 135: The Mysterious Ling Chulan!
Puff!
In the incredulous gazes of the crowd, the right arm of the arrogant Elder Chen was shattered with a punch, sending his entire body flying backward while blood spurted from his mouth like it was free of cost.
"A single punch heavily injures a Sixth Layer Transcendence Realm martial artist!"
Ling Chulan’s delicate eyes were full of shock, stunned in place.
His memory of Luo Cheng was still stuck at the time of the entry assessment.
Back then, Luo Cheng had just broken through to the Second Layer of the Transcendence Realm. Because of awakening the Wasted Martial Soul, he almost couldn’t enter the Xuanyuan Sect!
That’s why, when Ling Chulan saw Luo Cheng for the first time, he didn’t plan to let Luo Cheng wade into this muddy water.
However, the scene in front of him completely shattered Ling Chulan’s understanding of Luo Cheng.
It was simply like a dream.
He couldn’t imagine what happened in just a short month or two!
Luo Cheng’s combat power was actually this strong!
"Cough!"
Elder Chen coughed up a large mouthful of blood, and stared at Luo Cheng, saying in a deep voice, "This person is no ordinary one. Let’s all attack together and kill him! Prepare the crossbows, fire!"
Following an order, four or five people on the periphery immediately raised their crossbows to aim at Luo Cheng.
In the next moment.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
A dense rain of arrows enveloped Luo Cheng, locking down the space around him.
Luo Cheng had no intention of dodging and launched another ferocious punch.
With a bang, the overwhelming force caused the air to surge wildly, shaking the approaching arrows off course. The occasional ones that slipped through had lost their power, not even scratching Luo Cheng’s skin!
Even the arrows making contact with Luo Cheng’s skin emitted a metallic clanging sound and bounced off.
After consolidating his realm over this period, Luo Cheng’s physique had greatly enhanced. His external skill had reached great success and his defense improved significantly, making these ordinary crossbow arrows unlikely to harm him.
"Kill!"
After the rain of arrows, Elder Chen joined with two other Sixth Layer Transcendence Realm green-clothed men to attack.
The two uninjured green-clothed men struck first!
"Cloud Breaking Fist!"
A tall, middle-aged man on the left shouted furiously, his muscles bulging, tearing at his clothes, as he hurled a punch towards Luo Cheng’s face with unstoppable momentum!
"Cloud Flipping Water Splitting!"
Another slender, white-haired elder wielding a long spear twisted his arm like a snake. The spear in his hand instantly writhed like a python and then straightened, densely packing spear shadows, completely blocking Luo Cheng’s retreat!
"Luo Cheng, be careful!"
Ling Chulan’s voice was urgent.
Although these three had average combat power, their combat experience was huge, and they cooperated seamlessly, which had just made him suffer greatly!
"Too late! Even if you are a Sixth Layer Transcendence Realm martial artist, you’ll meet your doom against the three of us!"
Elder Chen’s face was full of malice. Ignoring his injuries, he attacked Luo Cheng fiercely along with the other two, intending to kill Luo Cheng in one go!
"Not interested in playing with you all!"
Luo Cheng did not want to waste time here.
With an indifferent voice echoing.
In the next instant, the Meteor Sword was unsheathed, and a sharp aura swept forth.
"Heavenly Fall First Form - Wind Stopping!"
Swish swish swish...
The Meteor Sword vanished in the air, leaving only dazzling sword shadows dancing chaotically.
The spear shadows were shattered, the burly man’s fist was directly sliced apart.
Immediately after.
Slash! Slash!
The two who attacked first, their vicious sneers had yet to disperse, and their bodies were torn to pieces, as a mix of blood and water splattered.
"What!"
Elder Chen, charging last, was scared out of his wits at this sight, his eyeballs nearly popping out.
The three of them had teamed up to kill more than a handful of Sixth Layer Transcendence Realm martial artists!
They were virtually invincible!
Yet today, a Fifth Layer Transcendence Realm youth had slain two of them with a single sword strike!
What kind of justice is this!
"Run!"
All fighting spirit vanished from his heart, Elder Chen had no hesitation, and turned to flee!
But at the moment of turning, a cold sword light suddenly magnified in his eyes.
Slash!
A blood arrow shot like a column, and Elder Chen’s head flew off instantly.
"Elder Chen and the others are dead! Run quickly!"
The remaining four or five people were terrified to the point of collapse, only wanting to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.
Luo Cheng didn’t want to leave any future troubles, and with a step, chased them.
Whoosh!
Almost simultaneously, Ling Chulan also made a move, evidently sharing the same thought as Luo Cheng.
Among the remaining five, the highest cultivation was only at the Transcendence Realm Fifth Layer, unable to withstand Luo Cheng and Ling Chulan!
Within just a few breaths, four more corpses lay on the ground!
Luo Cheng intentionally left one alive, wanting to interrogate them about the whole story.
"Young hero, I... I’m just following orders, please spare my life!"
The youth captured by Luo Cheng was already scared out of his wits, continuously begging for mercy.
Luo Cheng ignored him, throwing him in front of Ling Chulan, "I’ll leave him to you."
The youth knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly to Ling Chulan, tears and snot streaming:
"Young hero, it’s really not my business. It’s Elder Chen and the others who thought you were related to the person on the bounty order, that’s why they..."
Swish!
Before the youth could finish speaking, a flash of sword light passed, and a blade pierced through his throat.
Gurgle, gurgle...
The youth’s eyes widened, stretching his hands to claw aimlessly, and then fell dead.
Luo Cheng was somewhat surprised; he thought Ling Chulan would conduct a good interrogation.
Sheathing his sword, Ling Chulan’s voice was calm: "There’s nothing worth saying with these people."
Luo Cheng shrugged. It was the other party’s matter, and he didn’t want to inquire.
At this moment, Ling Chulan walked to Elder Chen’s body and picked up a bounty order.
"Oh, this must be the bounty order they were talking about." 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Luo Cheng followed and glanced at the bounty order, his eyes pausing.
On the bounty order, at the Golden Throne Palace, a beautiful fairy stood by the lake, like the queen of flowers, an ethereal spirit in the wind, exuding infinite grace.
"How beautiful."
Luo Cheng opened his mouth and uttered two words.
Though it was just a brief glance, the woman in the painting left him somewhat amazed.
Among the women Luo Cheng has seen, probably only Yun Mengli could compare with the figure in the painting.
Yet each has their own distinct charm; Yun Mengli is like the fairy of the Moon Palace, aloof and untainted by the mundane world.
The woman in the painting carried a different aura, with an outstanding bearing, as if the queen of flowers, and a regal presence self-assured in her gaze.
Hearing Luo Cheng praise the woman in the painting, a trace of strange color flickered in Ling Chulan’s eyes, and he casually stowed the bounty order away, letting out a light snort:
"Frivolous!"
Luo Cheng laughed, "A gracious lady is worthy of a gentleman’s pursuit, I’m just speaking the truth. By the way, do you know the person on this bounty order?"
Ling Chulan shook his head, his tone cold: "No, I don’t."
Luo Cheng was curious: "Then why were they chasing you because of the bounty order?"
"I don’t know."
Luo Cheng was speechless; not knowing, yet he killed the only living witness with one sword stroke, which made him question Ling Chulan’s identity.
The other party had silenced him likely because he was present.
Plus, Ling Chulan always wrapped himself like a black cocoon, obviously not wanting anyone to know his true face.
What kind of identity does one need to be so cautious...
