The majority of the one hundred people at the end of the ninth phase of the Leader Board were experts at the early stage and a few at the middle stage of the Martial Master. Lin Yue might be able to defeat them with his powerful Martial Soul s and various secret techniques.
The battle for the leaderboards lasted for another two hours before all the battles finally came to an end. The elites of the ninth segment of the five hundred were selected.
Chu Yang's body was beaten up to the point where blood continuously flowed out from the corners of his mouth. His injuries were not light, but he was still able to beat the expert at the late stage of Martial Master.
Suddenly, his gaze focused on the figure that was standing in front of the ancient building's door. The smile froze on his face.
Lin Yue also looked at Chu Yuv, their eyes intersecting in mid air, both of them revealing their murderous intent without concealing it at all.
After a while, Lin Yue raised his hand and made a throat slitting gesture, but laughed coldly, ignoring the other party, he turned and left.
However, he was still inside the Tianxuan City at the moment. Within the Eastern Tang, those who came to participate in the competition for the Leader Board were protected, so he didn't dare to challenge the authority of the Eastern Tang. He could only give a fierce glare at Lin Yue's back before walking towards his clansmen.
Suddenly, Lin Yue walked out of the ancient building unharmed. Furthermore, his entire person did not seem to be abnormal in the slightest, and he was immediately overjoyed. He immediately rushed over to welcome Lin Yue and carefully examined his injuries.
"Senior brother, no need to look, I was saved by an expert, I am fine now," Lin Yue nodded.
Seeing that Lin Yue was truly fine, Gao Xuan took a deep breath, and after that, his eyes revealed a trace of seriousness, and he said in a low voice: "Junior brother, you were truly too rash this time. If something were to happen to you, your entire Netherworld Sect would have suffered greatly.
"En." Lin Yue nodded his head, but he did not feel any regret in his heart, the bracelet was extremely important to him, he was his woman, the Ling'er he cared about the most, no matter how much danger he had to pay for Ling'er, he was willing.
In his heart, even if the entire Netherworld Sect numbered in the tens of thousands, they would not even be able to compare to a single hair on Ling'er's head.
The dark clouds in the sky were still gathering, becoming thicker and thicker, pressing lower and lower. It was likely that there would be an earth-shattering storm tonight.
The two of them returned to the inn and rested for the night, preparing to challenge those who were higher level than them tomorrow. When they reached the challenge level higher level, that kind of pressure wasn't something that an ordinary person could withstand.
Lin Yue sat cross legged on the bed, and repeatedly allowed the Genuine Essence to circulate its energy through his veins. Most of his meridians were burnt to ashes by the impact of the Chaos Fire, and only by obtaining the blood of a peak Martial Saint was he able to make up for the loss.
At the moment, his veins were raw, and Genuine Essence did not flow smoothly when they started to operate. The strong Genuine Essence swam and swam in his veins, and there was even a slight sense of pain — it was a sign that his veins were being refined and polished.
Only after the latter half of the night, did Lin Yue's veins start to move again. With the Hung Meng Martial Spirit's forceful replenishment, after going through the Martial Saint's blood repair, his veins became even more solid than before.
After a few weeks, Lin Yue slowly opened his eyes and looked at the pitch black sky outside the window.
The path of the strong was difficult, but on this path, one was destined to suffer incomparable pain.
It might be just as Qin Emperor said, there were tens of thousands of people who possessed the talent of the strongest Martial Soul, but there were very few who were able to become a Martial Saint with a reputation that could shake the world.
"I will, I will become the strongest Ranker in Pan Gu, even if there is only one in a million, that one will still be me, because, I swore to protect you by Ling'er's side, and not let you get hurt anymore. For you, I will give my all, and including my life, I will become the strongest person, protecting you, forever."
"Crack!"
Above the malevolent nine heavens, a streak of lightning descended with a loud rumble, splitting apart the clouds that were as vast as an ocean as it descended above the Tianxuan City.
In the middle of the tall buildings, there were flashes of lightning. It was both terrifying and gorgeous.
The heavy rain came shortly after. Accompanied by the heavy rain and the cold wind, the sky was covered with beaded curtains that obscured the sky, making everyone's vision blur.
Lin Yue slowly closed his eyes, and adjusted his state of mind to be at its most peaceful state, allowing his mind to remain as one, as he immersed himself in cultivation.
Not far to the west of the Tianxuan City Imperial Palace, within the Plum Blossom Manor, with the lights of the pavilion, Qin Yao sat in her room and silently looked at the hourglass on the table.
The light was gone, the candles' tears were gone, and the night had already gone deep.
They had already advised Qin Yao several times to go back and sleep early. This small building was only used for enjoying the scenery, the four windows were not tightly sealed, and with the rain and wind blowing outside, the cold Qi forced its way into the house, making it rather cold.
However, Qin Yao would always reply and stay a while longer, and once she sat down, it would be late into the night, yet she still had no intention of returning.
"Your Highness, you should go back. If you're sick, the Queen of Imperial Consort Qing will blame us." A servant girl tried to propose a way to move Qin Yao's heart.
Qin Yao heard the servant girl talk about her mother and as expected, a ripple of light flashed in her eyes. But in the blink of an eye, she sighed once more and said, "You two can leave, don't accompany me anymore. I'm thinking about some things, and if you don't understand, I won't go back tonight."
"Your Highness, you will hurt your spirit if you do this …"
maidservant was about to advise again, when suddenly, the storm outside grew stronger. With a "pa" sound, the windows were blown open by the cold wind, and immediately, the cold rain began to blow in.
The two maidservants hurriedly closed the window. However, just as they took two steps, a figure floated in through the window. A ghastly green light flashed in their eyes, and they each struck out a palm to strike the maidservant.
The two servants were in charge of Qin Yao's safety, with cultivation base that was not weak, upon seeing that assassins suddenly appeared, they immediately retaliated, with a few bangs, they had already exchanged blows with each other.
The black clad assassin sneered. Suddenly, a strong demonic aura burst out from his body, increasing his fighting strength by several times.
He separated two flows of Qi and locked onto the two servant girls. Suddenly, his figure moved like a ghost, taking a few steps and circling around in the field. When the two servant girls finally reacted, they were impressively tied up by a rope.
"Monster race!"
The two servant girls cried out in shock and struggled with all their might. However, the black clad assassin ignored the two and continued to rush towards Qin Yao.
Qin Yao's eyes turned cold, she pulled out a Spirit Sword and stabbed it, but the black clad assassin did not dodge at all, revealing a pleased cold smile, she allowed the sword beam to pierce into his body, but it did not harm him at all. The powerful Spirit Demon Qi she was releasing entered into his body, causing Qin Yao's entire body to become numb, the Genuine Essence s all over could not be raised, her cultivation weakened, and in the blink of an eye she lost her ability to retaliate.
"Hehe, little beauty, go!"
The black-robed assassin laughed lewdly, carried Qin Yao on his shoulder and rushed out of the window, flying towards the Ten Thousand Tree Plum Blossom.
At this moment, the guards at the bottom of the room finally realized what had happened and rushed up to the empty room with a startled expression on their faces.
