Eternal Life by Dual Cultivation

Chapter 415 - 242: Zhao Wanyi: Is There a Woman You Wouldn’t Dare to Take?

Zhao Wanyi counted the dozens of Azure Jade Pill Bottles in her hands, speaking in disbelief.

Compared to the last few times, Ling Changqing’s skill in the Alchemy Dao seemed to have improved significantly again. It was truly incredible to her.

"My Cultivation rose by a level, so my skill in the Alchemy Dao improved along with it. It’s nothing to be surprised about."

Ling Changqing said nonchalantly.

He had been in Dual Cultivation with Grand Palace Master Qin Mengxuan for half a year, reaching the Late stage Golden Core. It was only natural that his mastery of the Alchemy Dao would rise with his increased Cultivation.

Zhao Wanyi nodded and handed him a Storage Pouch. "This is the agreed-upon payment. Also... Junior Brother, could you help us create some more Third Grade Talismans? The payment is negotiable."

"No problem. Just have the materials ready."

Ling Changqing said.

"We can’t just keep working Junior Brother like this, can we? Shouldn’t he rest for a while first?"

Zhao Wanqing shot her sister a look, then said, looking a little embarrassed.

Before Zhao Wanyi could speak, she saw Ling Changqing’s expression suddenly change as he lunged toward her without warning.

"???"

Before she could even say anything, the man had swept her into his arms. At the same time, shimmering lights flickered around his body as several Defensive Magical Treasures activated instantly.

SWOOSH!

A sharp, bone-chilling, pitch-black Sword Aura slashed down viciously, striking the thick barrier of light that had just formed. The terrifying force made the entire hall tremble.

At the same time, the Blood Shadow Sword in Ling Changqing’s hand transformed into a flood dragon, coiling back and striking down at the sudden attacker.

The attacker was an old man in black robes with a determined gaze and a full head of white hair and a white beard. Judging by his aura, he was at Golden Core Peak Cultivation, with such a profound foundation that he could break through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm at any moment.

He summoned a dark-gold Jade Scroll, which immediately transformed into a Light Banner that enveloped his entire body.

BOOM!

However, the power of Ling Changqing’s attack was unexpectedly strong. The Light Banner held for just a moment before shattering into feathers of light and disintegrating in mid-air.

The Blood Shadow Sword in the air hummed rapidly, spun nimbly, and then suddenly split into hundreds of chilling Sword Qi, streaking forward as fast as lightning.

The black-robed elder was somewhat surprised by the ferocity of Ling Changqing’s counterattack. He had to ease his assault on the two sisters and switch to a full Defense.

In a mere instant, Ling Changqing had already exchanged more than ten blows with him and was gradually gaining the upper hand, forcing him to retreat step by step.

Whether in terms of Cultivation Technique Grade, Magical Treasures, or the total amount and purity of his Magical Power, the man was inferior to Ling Changqing. Being suppressed was the natural outcome.

"Elder Dong? You..."

Zhao Wanqing had snapped out of it by now, calling out with a shocked expression.

Apparently, they not only knew the attacker but were quite familiar with him.

With a wave of her hand, Zhao Wanyi summoned an Azure Umbrella-shaped Magical Treasure, shielding herself and her sister within it. Her pretty face was cold as she demanded:

"Elder Dong, you are the Chief Honored Guest Elder of the family’s Sacrificial Hall. My Zhao Family has always treated you well. Why would you betray the family?"

The black-robed elder snorted coldly and said with disdain, "Treated me well? So what? I’m still just a servant to your Zhao Family. I could have broken through to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch decades ago, but your Patriarch refused to provide the resources!

I don’t like the Qin Family either, but at least their Patriarch promised to help me ascend to the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm. That’s enough!

As long as I slaughter the three of you, I’ll have proven my allegiance. Then I can go straight to the Qin Family to collect my reward!"

"..."

Zhao Wanyi was so angry her face turned pale. For him to say something so shameless with such self-righteousness... this old bastard was truly shameless to the core.

"A very compelling reason. But it’s a real shame, because you will never get the chance to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch!"

Ling Changqing said coldly. The Blood Shadow Sword split into thousands of sharp Sword Auras that surged like rolling thunder, tearing through space and forcing the black-robed elder into a desperate, clumsy defense.

Seeing that he was actually about to fall at the hands of this junior, the black-robed elder grew anxious and was about to use his last-resort techniques to fight for his life.

BOOM!

A bolt of crimson-purple lightning descended from the heavens without any warning, effortlessly tearing through his Defense and striking him heavily.

The black-robed elder let out a wretched scream. Half of his body was instantly charred black, his flesh and blood vaporized into ash, revealing the bone beneath.

"...Zhao Chengdong. To think you’d also turn out to be an ungrateful bastard we couldn’t tame!"

Radiating a murderous aura, Shangguan Qingying silently appeared. The last strike had been her doing.

The black-robed elder struggled to reach for the Storage Pouch at his waist, but Shangguan Qingying gave him no chance.

A cold sword light flashed, severing both his hands and feet, and then a final strike lopped off his head.
