Chapter 166 – Combat with Zhenling 5th layer powerhouse
Yue Hangshan was wearing a long green robe. He appeared to be as rigid as a mountain!
At this moment, Yue Hangshan and Su Biaoxin were standing right in front of Long Yu and the three disciples from the Feng clan.
“Core disciple Long Yu!”
Yue Hangshan’s face was expressionless as he lightly greeted Long Yu.
“Elder Yue Hangshan!”
Long Yu greeted back to Elder Yue Hangshan who was standing between him and Su Biaoxin. Long Yu immediately understood the whole situation and looked contemptuously towards Su Biaoxin.
This fellow had the same arrogance of Yu Xin whom Long Yu had earlier met. He was being backed by an Elder, and that’s what made him rampant!
“Since you know I am an Elder, why didn’t you bow down to me to show respect?”
Yue Hangshan was greatly discontent and stared fiercely at Long Yu.
Bow down? To him?
Long Yu couldn’t stop himself from laughing.
All his life, Long Yu had only bowed down to the Elders who deserved to be respected, and Yue Hangshan certainly wasn’t one of them!
Long Yu had always considered Zhentian sect as his home. And this big family had several members – Baiyun Zhong, Yu Shuiyun, Old White, Yan Huanmo, Yu Shengshi, Bu Xing…..
All these people respected Long Yu for what he was, and Long Yu respected them back.
But what had this Yue Hangshan done to earn Long Yu’s respect?
Nothing at all!
Instead, he had backed a bully like Su Biaoxin who troubled Feng Yuxin and denied justice to Feng Hao and Feng Xiaofei!
“I will bow down to Sovereign Baiyun Zhong, I will bow down to Old White, and I will also bow down to Brother Bu Xing.”
Long Yu said lightly: “But standing in front of you, I don’t see any reason to bow down to you.”
“Dissolute guy!”
Su Biaoxin immediately came forward and pointing his finger towards Long Yu, started cursing him angrily: “How dare you be so impolite in front of a respected Elder of Zhentian sect? Long Yu, don’t mistake yourself as the only hope of Zhentian sect in the seven sects competition!”
“If I’m not the only hope of the Zhentian sect, who is? Is it you?”
Long Yu asked him, revealing a colour of disdain in his voice as well as on his face.
Long Yu didn’t worry a bit about Su Biaoxin; he could easily defeat him in combat.
Even if he had to fight Elder Yue Hangshan, who had a cultivation level of Zhenling 5th layer, he need not worry, because he was capable of fending off anyone who was at most two layers above his cultivation level. However, he just wanted to have a look at the whole situation right now.
“You!”
Su Biaoxin was extremely angry. Although he was still pointing his finger at Long Yu, he couldn’t think of anything to speak.
After defeating Feng Hao and Feng Xiaofei and receiving the fiercest training from Elder Yue Hangshan, Su Biaoxin had managed to step into Zhenling 3rd layer, which was the same cultivation level as Long Yu.
However, Su Biaoxin knew in his heart that he was not an opponent of Long Yu.
Bai Hang, who had a cultivation level of Zhenling 3rd layer, was defeated within a few moves by Long Yu, who had a cultivation level of Zhenling 2nd layer at that time.
Since now Long Yu had stepped into Zhenling 3rd layer, obviously his strength would be much more than it earlier was!
Su Biaoxin didn’t dare to fight Long Yu and could only reach out to his teacher, Elder Yue Hangshan, who had a cultivation level of Zhenling 5th layer, to help him out.
Just then, Yue Hangshan stepped forward.
“You seem to be quite confident about your strength.”
Yue Hangshan said, his eyes flashing fiercely: “A young disciple, so arrogant that he claims to be the only hope of Zhentian sect – if anyone heard of it, they would certainly burst into laughter.”
“Really?”
Long Yu chuckled and said: “Yue Hangshan, you are an Elder. And not just an Elder, you are the head of the Law Enforcement Elders. Still you let your disciple bully other disciples; you even back him when he harasses a female disciple of the sect. I don’t know whether people would laugh on hearing about me or not, but if anyone heard about what you have been doing, they would certainly burst into laughter.”
Long Yu’s sarcastic comments made Yue Hangshan at loss of words. He was speechless but was staring angrily at Long Yu.
“You!”
Yue Hangshan couldn’t control his anger anymore: “You, being a disciple of Zhentian sect, dare to insult an Elder of your sect. Then I, Yue Hangshan, being an Elder of Zhentian sect, must teach you today how to pay respect to your Elders!”
“Not all the Elders are worth respecting. At least you are not!”
Long Yu despised him more than ever now.
Their violent debate had shaken all the disciples that had surrounded them. Even Feng Hao, Feng Xiaofei and Feng Yuxin were stupefied on hearing Long Yu’s words.
All the people present there were convinced of the fact that Long Yu could easily beat Su Biaoxin, but no one had expected him to argue with Elder Yue Hangshan!
The disciples who were standing there as spectators didn’t know the exact cultivation level of Elder Yue Hangshan, but assessing the aura that was being released by his body, they were certain that Yue Hangshan’s cultivation level was higher than that of Long Yu.
In spite of all this, Long Yu had shown no respect to Elder Yue Hangshan and dared to argue with him – this had left everyone in utter disbelief!
Did Long Yu’s confidence mean that he could resist Elder Yue Hangshan? Or was it just his over-confidence talking?
Many people were shaking their heads in discord. After all, Yue Hangshan was an Elder and was far more superior to any of the disciples in strength and position.
They were unable to imagine that Long Yu could ever be a match of Yue Hangshan, who was one of the thirteen chief Elders.
After all, Long Yu was just a core disciple!
“Yue Hangshan, even if you try to thrash me, I, Long Yu, would never be afraid of you!”
Long Yu smiled with disdain.
“Such arrogance! You are courting death, boy!”
Yue Hangshan shouted as he rushed towards Long Yu. He was unable to tolerate being insulted by a disciple.
“Brother Long Yu, be careful!”
Young Feng Yuxin couldn’t help but shout to warn Long Yu of the attack. Her elegant and sweet voice echoed all over the arena.
“Don’t worry.”
Long Yu replied to her and rushed towards Yue Hangshan.
Although he was visibly confident about his powers, Long Yu didn’t underestimate his enemy. It was the first time that he was going to face a Zhenling 5th layer powerhouse!
After stepping into Zhenling 3rd layer, Long Yu’s basic strength had grown to 4 Jun, which would further increase to 5 Jun upon the activation of nine hidden dragon mark.
However, the basic strength of a Zhenling 5th layer powerhouse was 16 Jun, which was more than three times of Long Yu’s strength!
Certainly, if the basic strength was to be left aside, Long Yu had superiority for the other factors.
“Zhentian Sun, Zhentian Domain!”
As Long Yu shouted, his Zhentian Sun congealed behind him. It was so bright that its brightness almost blinded the people who were standing nearby. The rays that it emitted contained the immense pressure of Zhentian domain and this pressure immediately enveloped the whole body of Yue Hangshan.
“Zhentian Domain!”
Although Yue Hangshan didn’t congeal his Zhenling entity, his mere stomping of his feet released a much more tyrannical pressure of Zhentian domain than Long Yu!
However, at this time Yue Hangshan was thinking to himself that having a cultivation level of two layers higher than Long Yu, if he depended wholly upon the Zhentian domain, he would soon be able to completely suppress Long Yu.
After all, he wasn’t present inside the bamboo grove restricted area where Long Yu had had a combat with Bu Xing, so naturally he wasn’t aware of Long Yu’s capabilities.
Perhaps this Yue Hangshan was kept outside by Baiyun Zhong on purpose. Perhaps he wasn’t trusted at all.
Otherwise, he would have definitely known about Long yu’s strength.
“Thunder charm, destroy him!”
Long Yu had sensed that Yue Hangshan’s Zhentian domain was exerting far more pressure than his own, so he decided to incorporate thunder charm along with Zhentian domain.
The very next moment, numerous thunder mines blazed behind Long Yu and darted towards Yue Hangshan as if they were snakes made of electricity.
Yue Hangshan was unable to escape this attack as the thunder mines travelled at the speed of light.
Bang!
Yue Hangshan was struck by the thunder mines with a loud noise. His whole body was enveloped by the destructive power of the thunder mines!
Since he had a high cultivation level, Yue Hangshan released a great amount of xuan qi instantly, congealing a horizon barrier that resisted the enormous destructive strength of the thunder charm.
However, the horizon barrier that he had congealed in haste was soon destroyed by Long Yu’s thunder charm.
“This boy has comprehended twin moods!”
Yue Hangshan thought to himself as he saw his horizon barrier being shattered by Long Yu’s attack.
As he was enveloped by the destructive power of thunder charm, he was instantly reminded of the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir and he could not help but wonder whether Long Yu had entered the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir and grabbed a fragment of the heavenly tablet.
Otherwise, where did this enormous energy come from?
In addition to this, it was known all over the Tang kingdom that Long Yu had seized the lunar tablet from the Ling clan villa. No doubt, Long Yu had a lot of valuables with him.
With this thought, Yue Hangshan’s eyes flashed with a different colour.
This was the colour of greed!
A heavenly tablet was precious for any martial expert as it helped the practitioner to reach the resonance of heaven and earth. Obviously, Yue Hangshan would pine for it.
Yue Hangshan was 50-year-old now, and if he didn’t get hold of any precious tablet, there were absolutely no chances for him to break through.
The heavenly tablet was a golden opportunity!
“Zhentian Mountain Zhenling!”
Yue Hangshan shouted loudly as a huge mountain appeared behind him, releasing a humungous amount of pressure all around!
This was his Zhenling entity – the Zhentian Mountain.
The pressure exerted by this enormous mountain increased with every passing second, terrifying the spectators.
“Destroy!”
Immediately after receiving the command from Yue Hangshan, the mountain started drifting towards Long Yu, enveloping him under immense pressure.
“Zhentian Mountain is a Zhenling entity of fifth layer….No wonder its pressure is really formidable!”
Long Yu was immediately suppressed to such an extent that he was unable to move at all. This made him remind of the Qiansi Elder that he had earlier killed – Ying Luo. Yue Hangshan’s battle efficiency was far more than her.
“Lunar burst!”
The grey lunar wings flapped immediately behind Long Yu, releasing a great amount of lunar qi.
When he was suppressed by Yu Qianning, he had used this move to escape the entrapment.
While being suppressed by Elder Yue Hangshan, he used the same move again!
The lunar qi that was released by the lunar wings soon scattered throughout the region of influence of the Zhentian domain. Soon afterwards the lunar wings changed Long Yu into a streamer, making him disappearing in a flash.
This made everyone gawk, including Yue Hangshan.
How did Long Yu manage to disappear while being enveloped by such a tyrannical suppression force?
“Teacher, he’s behind you!”
Su Biaoxin shouted immediately to warn Yue Hangshan.
“Naive!”
Just when Yue Hangshan was about to turn his head, he felt a burst of strange force seeping through his body, binding him on the spot!
