God Emperor

Zhao Han’er saw that everyone was mocking Lin Yue, so she gritted her teeth and summoned her courage. She walked out and said, “Elder brother Lin Yue is not being used by others. He really did kill Dark Blue Emissary. Furthermore, he has already broken through—”

Zhao Han’er wanted to say that elder brother Lin Yue had already broken into the Fish-Dragon Realm, but she was interrupted by Pang Long’s laugh. “He killed Dark Blue Emissary? If he could kill Dark Blue Emissary then I could have brought him down with one hand. Haha!”

“Someone actually believes Lin Yue was able to kill Dark Blue Emissary. Lin Yue is very good at fooling little girls.”

“Lin Yue’s appearance is not bad. I’ve heard that he’s slept with no less than 20 female disciples, most of them from Long-living Yard and Sunv Yard. The junior sister apprentice at his side is probably one of them.”

A tall and sturdy indoor disciple jealousy said, “Female disciples these days just worship blindly. They like to listen to pretty words and don’t look closely to see just what kind of person Lin Yue is.”

…

Zhang Ruochen, Pang Long, and the others made a great deal of noise. Before long, it had disrupted the indoor disciples in Sunv Yard.

Out of the 72 yards, Sunv Yard was very special as they only accepted female disciples, many of whom were very beautiful.

“It’s Lin Yue again. He’s already been disciplined by senior sister apprentice Han Qiu four times yet he still dares to come to Sunv Yard.” A tall girl in a robe laughed coldly. It seemed she did not like Lin Yue.

Of course, there were also female disciples who looked at “Lin Yue” with bashful eyes and said, “Elder brother Lin Yue is a warrior of the ‘Heaven Board’, he is still quite powerful.”

“Yeah! Yeah! Elder brother Lin Yue is so handsome, I really want to go to Long-living Yard to practice Sword Techniques with him.” A rather pretty girl stared at “Lin Yue” with interested eyes like an infatuated idiot.

Lin Yue was indeed very handsome and was highly regarded by female disciples. He probably only had to crook his finger and large swathes of female disciples would jump into his arms.

At least half of the female disciples of Sunv Yard had a good impression of him.

“No wonder Han Qi disciplined Lin Yue. He has a good deal of romantic debt.”

Zhang Ruochen’s Spiritual Powers were strong and he keenly felt many female eyes fixed on him.

Those special gazes contained romantic interest. It was apparent that their relationship with Lin Yue was not purely that of disciple siblings.

A sudden noise came from Sunv Yard.

It was followed by a cheer. “Senior sister apprentice Han Qiu has come out from refinement!”

“What? Didn’t senior sister apprentice Han Qiu take a Fish-Dragon Pill and was refining to break into the Fish-Dragon Realm? Has she already broken through?”

A moment later, the crowd of female disciples split open and made a path.

Zhang Ruochen’s eyes followed the crowd and saw a beautiful woman giving off a dark light from her entire body coming out of the front gate of Sunv Yard.

Han Qiu’s figure was very slender. Her undulating chest, waist, and buttocks formed perfect curves.

Her skin was as white as jade and her black hair hung to her waist. Her beautiful eyes were like crescents of autumnal water, she had a slender neck and straight legs. She was clearly wearing a pure and holy robe yet she was like a demon that could seduce away men’s souls.

The other women in Sunv Yard were all dim and colorless in comparison.

All of them together barely even equaled one of Han Qiu’s fingers.

“So it is her.”

Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly.

The Han Qiu in front of him was the same Han Qi from Yuntai Suzerain in Omen Ridge. She and Zhang Ruochen were old friends.

By now, she had formed a dark physique with the help of a saint in the Yin and Yang Sect.

At the same time, she had also practiced the Yin and Yang Sect’s “Heavenly Ways of Taiji.” Her entire temperament had become strange. She was both like a demon girl walking through hell as well as an immortal standing among the clouds.

In terms of appearance, Han Qiu and Huang Yanchen were on par with each other but were slightly inferior to Mu Lingxi and Luo Shuihan.

However, her temperament, formed through the strong contrast between darkness and light, gave her many extra points, making her one of the four beauties of the Yin and Yang Sect.

Zhang Ruchen saw that Han Qiu’s cultivation seemed to have just broken into the First Change of the Fish-Dragon Realm.

It was because of this that she was unable to control so much power. Thus, her Genuine Qi poured out of her body and she gave off a dark and icy light.

Han Qiu coldly stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, “Lin Yue, you still dare to come to Sunv Yard? Was I not hard enough last time?”

“Boom!”

As her voice fell, a gust of cold, black air suddenly surged out from below her feet and charged toward Zhang Ruochen.

Zhang Ruochen stood with his hands behind his back. His body was unmoving like a rock. He appeared very relaxed while easily dissipating Han Qiu’s dark power.

Han Qiu gasped lightly, and a strange light appeared in her eyes.

Wanting to teach “Lin Yue” a lesson, she had activated her dark force, but instead, her power had disappeared without a trace like a rock sinking into the ocean. It had not touched “Lin Yue” at all.

What had happened?

Han Qiu did not believe that Lin Yue could dissipate her power.

Pang Long had no idea that Zhang Ruochen and Han Qiu had just secretly exchanged a blow.

Seeing Han Qiu walk out of Sunv Yard, Pang Long’s face lit up with excitement. He volunteered himself. “Junior sister apprentice Han Qiu, what need is there for you to act personally and defeat this shameless bastard, Lin Yue? I will teach him a lesson.”

Finally getting a chance to ingratiate himself, how could Pang Long let it go?

It was his time to shine in front of junior sister apprentice Han Qiu.

Learning from Hao Feng’s experience, Pang Long dared not underestimate his opponent. He planned to demonstrate his greatest power and defeat “Lin Yue” with a single blow.

The Genuine Qi in Pang Long’s body circulated quickly and surged out of his palms, shooting toward the half-meter-long jade flute.

“Swoosh!”

Green inscriptions rose to the surface of the jade flute and then exploded with a powerful ripple of power.

The jade flute suddenly made a strange sound.

The sound waves surged out and entered the ears of all the warriors, affecting their Spiritual Powers and Martial Souls. Some of the outer disciples who had not reached the Heaven Realm simply closed their eyes and fell to the ground.

Even warriors who had reached the Heaven Realm were agitated by the sound waves.

The Jade Spring Flute was an 11th level Genuine Martial Arm. Not only could it attack with sound waves, but its other powers were also very strong.

“Clear springs over the rocks.”

Using the jade flute like a sword, Pang Long’s wrist turned quickly and he demonstrated a marvelous Sword Technique, piercing straight toward Zhang Ruochen’s heart.

Eighty-one sword shadows separated from the jade flute. They gathered together and formed into a flow of sword Qi and wrapped around Pang Long’s body.

A young female disciple sucked in a cold breath in surprise. “Elder brother Pang is executing an Inferior Class Ghost Level Sword Technique, Clear Spring Swordsmanship. I heard this Sword Technique is very powerful. It looks like “clear spring flowing over rocks” but actually, it can explode out with the power of a surging river.”

“In order to practice Clear Spring Swordsmanship, elder brother Pang once sat cross-legged by the Spiritual Sea Spring and observed the truth of the spring for five consecutive years before finally practicing the Sword Technique to the Succeed level. During those five years, elder brother Pang never left the Spiritual Sea Spring. Furthermore, other than drinking the spring water, he didn’t consume any other food.”

“What kind of willpower does he have to train one Sword Technique so bitterly for five years?”

“For elder brother Pang to enter the top 100 on the ‘Heaven Board’, naturally, his reputation is not false. His understanding of the Tao of the Sword is more thorough than some of the junior and senior uncle masters. I’ve heard that he has almost reached the realm of Heart Integrated into Sword.”

“Senior sister apprentice Han Qiu once said that there isn’t a single person among the indoor disciples of the Yin and Yang Sect whose Sword Technique could surpass elder brother Pang’s. Very few people can endure even one of his Sword Techniques.”

“Can elder brother Lin Yue endure one of his strikes?”

“Are you joking? Elder brother Pan is executing the Clear Spring Swordsmanship at the Succeed level. It is very powerful, how could elder brother Lin Yue endure that?”

…

…

Admiration shone from Han Qiu’s beautiful eyes, seeing that Pang Long’s Sword Technique had gone up another level. He was even stronger now.

If there was another indoor competition, Pang Long may very well subdue the competition and win first place.

Zhang Ruochen glanced at Pang Long and nodded gently. Pang Long’s attainments in Sword Technique were indeed very good.

However, there were still some flaws in his understanding of the Tao of the Sword.

If he could repair that slight flaw, perhaps he would be able to step into the realm of Heart Integrated into Sword.

“Swish, swish!”

Pang Long had already arrived in front of Zhang Ruochen and the jade flute flashed out. Eighty-one streaks of Sword Qi flowed out of the flute and shot toward him.

Zhang Ruochen merely extended one hand and pointed forward very elegantly.

“Shadow Meridian Ripple!”

A thick Sword Wave flew out of the tip of his finger and bone-piercing coldness exploded, immediately destroying the 81 streaks of Sword Qi.

“Boom!”

Pang Long was flung backward and landed with a bang around 30 meters away. He fell like a rolling gourd.

The ice-cold sword Qi congealed into a thick layer of ice, freezing most of Pang Long’s body.

Pang Long circulated his Genuine Qi and shattered the ice on his body. He wanted to force himself to stand up but just as he had steadied himself, he brought further injury upon himself. Blood sprayed out of his mouth and he once again fell to the ground.

The sword Qi of the Sword Wave left dozens of bloody wounds on his body. At this moment, Pang Long was unspeakably wretched and had lost his previous confidence.

The indoor disciples as well as the female disciples of the Sunv Yard, all stared in shock. Their chins had almost fallen to the ground.

With just one move, Lin Yue had given Pang Long a heavy injury?

This could not be true!
