Chapter 592: Chapter 251: Magical Combat Maniac Su Hongling
(This Chapter should be 252)
"You big liar! Come again!"
"Ahhhh!"
"Do it again!"
Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er shared a bed last night. After everything they’d been through, they were in a state of excitement and chatted until they fell asleep just before dawn.
The two were sleeping soundly when they were startled awake by shouts and the sound of a heavy object hitting something with a thud.
"Caihe, it’s so noisy outside. What’s going on?"
Zhou Ling’Er, half-asleep, opened her eyes and reached out to the darling beside her, who was only in her undergarments, revealing large swaths of fair skin.
Xu Caihe rolled over, pinning Zhou Ling’Er beneath her, and mumbled sleepily:
"Ling’Er, don’t make a fuss. You wore me out last night. I need to sleep a bit more."
Thunk!
"Ahhhh! I’ll be back!"
Another loud crash and an angry roar from outside finally woke the two women up entirely.
Xu Caihe sat up abruptly: "Sounds like there’s a fight outside? Oh my! Ling’Er, get up and help!"
They quickly got dressed, grabbed their long swords, and rushed outside, only to freeze in place.
By the small river outside, Senior Sister Suxin, Senior Sister Weiwan, Ruo Mei, He Su, and Lan Yin stood quietly. He Su shaded her eyes with her hand and looked skyward.
"Wow, this time it flew even farther."
Following He Su’s gaze, they saw a tiny black dot in the sky, seemingly something that had been knocked flying.
"Is that... Fairy Su?!"
Xu Caihe recognized it; the figure flying through the air was indeed Su Hongling!
Fairy Su, tall and breathtakingly beautiful, was upside-down with her butt in the air, shouting furiously:
"Just you wait, I’ll be back, and we’ll go again!"
With that, she disappeared into the distance.
Zhou Ling’Er was baffled: "What’s going on here?"
Liu Su ran over, grinning, and explained the situation to them.
Apparently, Su Hongling had come to pick a fight with Qin Gengyun at the crack of dawn, but Qin Gengyun tricked her into lowering her cultivation to the Golden Core’s first layer.
Then Qin Gengyun had suddenly used a strange Immobilization Technique, freezing Su Hongling in place for a moment with a glare, and then knocked her flying with one strike of his staff.
Unconvinced, Su Hongling immediately flew back and asked Qin Gengyun to do it again, only to be knocked away once more.
It had already happened four or five times like this.
"..."
The two listened in stunned silence. Xu Caihe suddenly whispered to Zhou Ling’Er:
"Ling’Er, look at Senior Brother He’s staff!"
Zhou Ling’Er’s face flushed: "Caihe, what are you getting worked up about so early in the morning?"
Xu Caihe slapped her lightly: "What are you thinking? I’m talking about the staff in Senior Brother He’s hand!"
Only then did Zhou Ling’Er notice the dark iron staff in Qin Gengyun’s hand and exclaimed in shock:
"Isn’t that... the Heaven-Reaching... mmm mmm."
She was immediately silenced by Xu Caihe’s hand over her mouth. Zhou Ling’Er quickly understood, swallowed her remaining words, and her face turned pale as she whispered:
"Caihe, isn’t that the treasure left by Zhenyang, the founder of the Zhenyang Sect? I heard it was lost. How did it end up with Senior Brother He?"
"Who exactly are Senior Brother He and the others...?"
As the daughter of the City Lord and a noble family heiress, they knew many secrets.
They recognized this dark staff; it was the Heaven-Reaching Staff, the treasure left by the founder of the Zhenyang Sect, Zhenyang, before his ascension.
Some secret scrolls in Zhenlian City recorded that this Heaven-Reaching Staff was personally crafted for him by his wife, Sheng Tanglian.
But after Sheng Tanglian died and the Cyan Lotus Sect was exposed for many misdeeds, leading to its expulsion from the Eastern Cultivation Land and branding as the Demon Sect, the staff went missing.
As they had seen illustrations of the Heaven-Reaching Staff in those scrolls, they recognized it at a glance.
But they couldn’t understand why the Zhenyang Sect’s lost treasure, gone for five hundred years, was in He Zhiqiu’s hands.
Looking at the expressions of everyone else, they seemed completely unsurprised. The two women suddenly recalled Cheng Qingyu questioning Ruo Mei earlier.
Thinking back now, didn’t it seem plausible?
Does that mean we’re like little lambs who wandered into a den of wolves?
Liu Su noticed the two women’s pale faces and gave a sinister grin:
"Since you already know our secret, you can’t be allowed to stay. Keh keh keh!"
"Ah!"
"Please don’t kill us!"
Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er screamed in fear, but Senior Sister Suxin sighed:
"Susu, stop scaring them. Junior Sister Xu, Junior Sister Zhou, Senior Brother He accidentally acquired this Heaven-Reaching Staff; there’s no secret to it. Just remember not to tell anyone outside."
"Understood, thank you, Senior Sister Suxin!"
Only then did they realize that Junior Sister He had been teasing them. They quickly agreed but then paused.
Since Senior Sister Suxin said there’s no secret, why shouldn’t we talk about it?
Isn’t that contradictory?
Also, who exactly is considered an "outsider"?
Fellow disciples of the Zhenyang Sect?
Then who counts as an insider?
Why do Senior Sister Suxin and Senior Sister Weiwan’s expressions look so strange?
Why does it feel like a lot has changed after just waking up?
The two girls exchanged a bitter glance.
If only they hadn’t come along. Boo hoo!
"Waaah! I’m back!"
At that moment, a black dot appeared on the horizon, hurtling towards them at incredible speed. In mere breaths, it slammed into the ground with a boom, creating a large crater, showing the newcomer’s extreme anger.
There stood Su Hongling, brandishing a large hammer. With long strides, she quickly reached Qin Gengyun, her cheeks flushed, her eyes wide:
"Come again!"
This scene was already familiar to the others; only Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er were left gape-mouthed.
"So, the difference between Fairy Su and Little Hammer is that one calls herself ’old mother’ and the other ’old man’?"
Zhou Ling’Er murmured.
Qin Gengyun sighed and kindly suggested to Su Hongling:
"Fairy Su, why don’t you raise your cultivation by two layers? This move of mine isn’t affected by the user’s cultivation; it’s the same at Golden Core first layer as at Nascent Soul. It’s not fair to you."
Su Hongling glared: "Are you looking down on me?! I’ll stay at Golden Core first layer and still block your Demon Technique this time!"
Qin Gengyun, resigned, said in a deep voice: "Fairy Su, be careful."
"Enough talk, bring it on!"
A chilly aura erupted from Qin Gengyun, his eyes emitting a pale white light directed at Su Hongling!
Su Hongling’s body stiffened immediately, but the Heaven-Reaching Staff in Qin Gengyun’s hand was already sweeping in. There was a crack, and suddenly a piece collapsed from Su Hongling’s left shoulder, yet her body broke free from the immobilization, raising her hand to grab the staff.
"Hahaha, I’ve broken your Demon Technique!"
Everyone was shocked. Xu Caihe covered her mouth:
"Fairy Su broke her shoulder bone to overcome Senior Brother He’s spell with pain?!"
Beside her, Liu Su was equally astounded, giving a thumbs-up:
"No wonder they call her a Magical Combat maniac, impressive!"
Amid everyone’s shocked expressions, Su Hongling laughed wildly, pointing at Qin Gengyun:
"Come again, you’ve immobilized me five times, so I’m going to break it five times!"
