Divine Brilliance

“Sixth Brother, you can’t say that. That Xuanyuan Yiren is different from before. I also recently found out that she is actually the direct disciple of the Pill Fountain Sect; we have to be careful about her!”

Ren Qianchou smiled bitterly, his expression relaxed and confident, “It is really simple going around his girl. It won’t be much of a problem…”

As for how to go around her, he didn’t give an explanation. He solemnly said, “Apart from that girl, there is also that Purple Lightning Spear Zong Yuan, who wouldn’t sit still as we kill Zong Shou. That person is also a problem; if I fight him, I at most have a fifty percent chance of winning. That Zong Ling hired a few Xiantians, and Zong Shou has those few hidden protectors, so we must be wary! Out of the three of us, who should stop them?”

Xie Jun laughed, “Don’t worry about that, Blazing Flame Mountain naturally has that handled for us. Little brother knows where those few people are, so we can go talk to them. They want to follow us and bite off a peice of meat from Gantian Mountain, so how can they not do anything at all? As for choosing where to kill them, that is what we need to think about.”

Ren Qianchou’s expression relaxed, his eyes revealing a praising expression, “I have always trusted Fifth Brother’s speaking ability! As for when to kill them, let’s talk about it in a few days. Now, we don’t know which path that Prince is taking. That Lingyun Zu Renkuang said he would protect him for fifteen days. Although he said that it would be within the area around Cloud Saint City, it is best for us to wait for a few days before acting.”

Seeing Xiu Jun having no intention of opposing him, Ren Qianchou nodded slightly, knowing that the matter was settled, just like that. He looked at the surnamed Fang spirit master, “Brother Fang, what about you? Are you willing to do this deal along with us?”

That spirit master frowned slightly, subconsciously wanting to reject. He was known as Fang Long, the leader of an unknown sect. Originally this matter didn’t concern him, he was only invited to come help due to his relationship with the three of them.

If Zong Shou truly had no one to depend on, then he would act out of kindness and also get some rewards in return. But with the actions of the people from Cloud Saint City, it meant that there was more to this matter than meets the eye.

Xie Jun seemed to know he would react in such a way, his eyes shining, “If Brother Fang is willing to help us out, the Grade Five Protector Spirit Beast in his hand will belong to you. If anything wrong happens, you can hide in our Yunxia Mountain!”

Fang Long’s expression changed immediately, revealing a greedy and craving expression, but he quickly controlled himself. “With your ability, killing him is like weeding a field. Furthermore, brother has already comprehended sword strength so not to mention those few Xiantian experts, even a Martial Ancestor might not win against you. Why do you want me to help you?”

Ren Qianchou and Xie Jun couldn’t help but exchange glances and smile, knowing that this person was already tempted. The former shook his head, his tone really cold. “When a lion wrestles a rabbit, it will still use its full strength. I don’t know whether that Gantian Mountain Prince has any other trump cards, and I am too lazy to guess. I can only go all out and just crush him. Who cares what methods he has, he won’t be able to stop the four of us working together!”

Fang Long was deep in thought, his fists slowly gripping tight. In his heart he slowly mustered determination, and just as he was about to speak, he was startled, glancing to his left.

There was nothing there at all. He couldn’t help but raise his brows in suspicion, he felt like there was something there looking at him just now. But when he spread out his spiritual sense to investigate, he picked up nothing…

——

Exiting Cloud Saint City, if one went another thirty miles north they would be in the Eastern Cloud Ocean.

At the borders of the land were large patches of cloud and fog, level with the horizon of the Cloud Continent, surging and rumbling below.

From here to the true ocean was around seven thousand-odd miles, the central portion of the Eastern Cloud Ocean. There was a woman dressed fully in red standing furiously in the sky, stepping above the cloud ocean.

“Lei Dong, are you a rat? If you have the balls come out! I know you are hiding here. Didn’t you want to find me to test your Hundred Dragon blade? Then come out and fight!”

She scolded out, but her anger wasn’t vented fully as she walked heavily. The cloud ocean in the area trembled slightly.

The air whipped, large patches of fog was forcibly separated, but she was still unable to see any signs of Lei Dong.

Shui Lingbo scoffed coldly, the violence in her eyes growing thicker.

“How are you even called Crazy Blade? That Mountain and Sea Intent, was it comprehended from a drain? Since you have the courage to search for me to test your blade, then you should be prepared for the consequences! When I became serious, you want to run and stop fighting? How is there such a good thing in the world?!”

Her red sleeve swung as the lightning within the clouds flashed, clouds of fire gathered, pulling out that rumbling fog.

The current Shui Lingbo was different from more then ten days ago. Her skin seemed younger and softer, like she had become several years younger. A mark of lightning and fire tangled together between her eyebrows. Every breath released large amount of strength and stirred the clouds.

“How vicious! Continue to hide! Don’t let me catch you, even if your father comes and begs for you, I will still skin you! Do you believe me, Lei Dong?”

There was still no sound in the surrounding clouds. Shui Lingbo’s eyes turned and decided to take a soft approach instead, since her violent approach wasn’t working.

“Forget it, I shouldn’t be quarelling with a junior. As long as you apologize, I will let today’s matter pass. But if you are caught by me, then it won’t be as simple as a little beating. Think carefully! I will give you one minute, after this time you will suffer the consequences!”

She stood there silently and didn’t make any sound. On her left, roughly within ten miles, a voice asked with some slight hesitation, “Are your words true?”

Shui Lingbo’s brows loosed as joy appeared in her eyes. She spread out her mind and locked onto where that voice came from. The expression on her face also became calmer and gentler.

“Naturally it is true, it couldn’t be any more true!”

“Then fairy wouldn’t blame me for testing my saber on you?”

“As long as you apologize, naturally I won’t care. After all you are crazy about martial arts. Such crazy people like you, I have seen many…”

“You won’t blame me for scolding you as an old witch just now?”

Shui Lingbo’s lips constricted, tensing up her fists hard enough to hear her bones crack. She forcefully suppressed her anger, a smile still on her face. “I won’t!”

“But I heard that your reputation is not good, you always go back on your words.” Within that rough voice was some hesitation.

Shui Lingbo was astonished, looking like she didn’t understand, “Is there? My words are worth their weight in gold, when have I ever lied?”

“Then let me think about it. Oh yes! I also scolded you, old demon witch, will you eat me up?”

“I don’t eat people!” Shui Lingbo scoffed coldly, getting impatient, “Are you coming out or not?”

Her mentalsearch still hadn’t been able to locate the true location of Lei Dong.

That rough and loud male voice laughed out, “Let me think about it. Since you can’t find me, then why should I come out? You are really interesting; if you took candy to bluff kids you would be unbeatable.”

“Are you playing me?” Shui Lingbo’s brow furrowed, the violence in her eyes flashed once more, her expression close to crazy, “To think you call yourself Maniac Blade and still hide like a little girl in front of a woman. What kind of man are you?”

“Hey! A real man can be soft and can be hard, knowing when to give and take. Who says a man who hides isn’t a real man?”

Lei Dong laughed, acting like he was right, “You are an old woman who hasn’t even touched a man before, so how would you know about the magnanimity and character of us men?”

Shui Lingbo was so furious, all the hair on her head stood on ends, lightning shining between her eyebrows.

“Good! So you are not coming out? Today I will blow you out! Even if I flip this entire cloud ocean, I will catch you!”

In the sky, black clouds gathered slowly, many green runes floating behind Shui Lingbo’s body.

Bolts of lightning gathered over, wrapping her up. They grew larger and larger; ten feet, thirty feet, seventy feet, a hundred feet!

When a turquoise color appeared in her eyes too, numerous bolts of lightning struck out in all four directions.

They spread for a hundred miles around, besieging and blowing up the entire region. In just a few short minutes, lightning drove the entire patch of cloud ocean into a bad state.

Shui Lingbo’s looks were also becoming younger and younger.

“Who asked you to say I am an old demon witch? Do you have the balls to continue scolding? If you have the ability, continue hiding! Once I catch you, I will skin you and break your tendons, cut you into pieces and feed you to the dogs!

“I am just twenty-nine years old! Unable to find a cultivation partner isn’t my fault. You men are useless and don’t have the ability…”

Her words became more and more vicious, the lightning around her actually grew several times, showing no signs of weakening. She also became even younger, her entire body shrinking, the previously eighteen-year old girl was now sixteen!

Just as the cloud ocean was being blown away, in the distance a leaf boat was slowly travelling over. It hung in mid air, moving atop the cloud ocean.

On the boat a person was holding a red umbrella as she looked lazilly in front of her.

After staring for a moment, the girl sighed slightly. “Senior master, this fellow has that spiritual treasure on him. As long as he hides in the cloud ocean, who in the world can find him? He might look crazy, but he is really smart. Why are we wasting time with him here? You have chased him for more then ten days in this cloud ocean, but have you managed to hurt him? Who knows, he might have left long ago. If you really want to capture him, you should return to your sect and use that Taiyuan Sky Mirror!”

Shui Lingbo didn’t care bother, lightning flashing frenziedly in her eyes, bundles of lightning bolts crazily exploded out, as if no soul power and spiritual energy was needed to cast them!
