Chapter 152 – Intimidating Valor
Deng Shun’s heart was instantly crushed by the Qian dragon spear as his eyes stared in complete disbelief.
He had never expected such an outcome from the combat.
Originally he had thought that even if he couldn’t execute the order of killing Long Yu issued by Xinghai Lun, he could at least show his heartfelt loyalty towards Xinghai Lun.
After all, when four Zhenling 3rd layer martial experts would combine their strengths, even a Zhenling 4th layer expert couldn’t withstand the attack – this Long Yu was just a Zhenling 2nd layer expert.
They could simply not let him escape!
How could he know that Long Yu had already killed two Zhenling 4th layer beasts on his own?
And because of their underestimation of their enemy, in spite of the four of them displaying their best martial skills, Deng Shun had died!
With Deng Shun killed, Long Yu rolled up the devastating power of Thunder charm to the next level!
Long Yu swept his Qian dragon spear, with numerous thunder mines flashing, a burst of tremendous energy erupted and rushed towards the other three men who were already trapped and were showing no resistance.
Against this humungous force of Thunder charm, even the Zhenling ent.i.ty of the Goblin Snake couldn’t have survived, let alone these three Zhenling 3rd layer experts.
The red eyed man, the man with hammers and the man with the pointed hat – all of them were completely enveloped by this terrific energy at the same time.
The power of the Thunder charm crushed the meridians of those three men!
Under the great suppression power of the four principles released by Long Yu, a Zhenling 3rd layer expert simply couldn’t exhibit any resistance. In fact, just the release of Thunder charm was enough to kill a Zhenling 3rd layer expert.
“The power of this imperial seal level principle is outstanding!”
Long Yu’s eyes shone brightly.
Even if he had earlier killed the rock rhino and the goblin snake, they were wicked beasts of Zhenling 4th layer and Long Yu had not tested his power against some human martial expert of Zhenling 4th layer.
However, now Long Yu was sure that if under any circ.u.mstances he had to face a Zhenling 4th layer expert, he had enough strength to fend them off.
If not a perfect opponent, he could still be able to resist a Zhenling 4th layer expert. If he had had the same cultivation three months ago, he could surely have defeated Yu Qianning.
Certainly, just like Long Yu had enhanced his cultivation level in these three months, similarly Yu Qianning would also have enhanced her cultivation level.
At present, no one knew at what level Yu Qianning had reached and what merits she had achieved!
Long Yu grasped his spear and stood there proudly, looking around him, only to see the corpses of the three experts he just killed in one fell swoop.
However, his eyebrows wrinkled as he sensed something fishy in his surroundings.
Soon enough, he detected a strong killing intention directed towards him.
“A sneak attack?”
Long Yu’s heart sank as he further followed the direction of the killing intention and found tout hat it was actually Feng Yao who was secretly planning to kill him.
“Feng girl, stop!”
Pond Snow, who was wearing a brown fur coat, shouted and immediately rushed towards Long Yu.
Long Yu took a deep breath as Pond Snow left Feng Yao’s side and approached him.
Feng Yao wanted to seize this opportunity to kill Long Yu, but at a crucial moment, Pond Snow blocked her by rushing towards Long Yu and was now standing beside him, ready to face her.
Long Yu turned to see the big statured Pond Snow standing behind him, facing Feng Yao, who was clad in a pale green dress and was holding a sword which was probably a spiritual level battle weapon, her eyes flashing with dense killing intention.
“Feng girl, I am not a great man from some influential family, but I have heard that you and younger brother Long Yu have the same father.”
Pond Snow said indignantly: “Tell me, Feng girl, why is it that you want to kill him?”
These lines reached Long Yu’s heart and touched it deeply.
Long Yu could not remember even a single time he had offended Feng Yao – he certainly hadn’t. But still Feng Yao was always h.e.l.l bent on getting him killed!
“Brother Pond Snow has raised a valid question, Feng Yao. Back in the Yu Guan city, you ordered your servant to kill me. I never asked you why you did so, but now I want to know.”
Long Yu lightly said: “I can understand that now you work for Xinghai Lun and want to execute his orders, but what enmity did you hold with me earlier?”
“You will never understand, Long Yu!”
Feng Yao retorted, still holding her spiritual level battle weapon: “If it wasn’t for you, my parents would have never been in a state they are today. They would have never resorted to a mutual separation!”
Long Yu frowned.
Feng Longsong and Liu Yu were separating?
But how was he responsible for that?
“Feng Yao, I never talk to your mother and neither did foster father tell me anything about it. How would I get to know that they are separating and that too because of me?”
Long Yu said in a sarcastic tone.
Just from looking at Feng Yao, Long Yu had deduced that Feng Yao and her mother Liu Yu were simply jealous of his increasing power.
“You dare say that?”
Feng Yao shouted with extreme anger.
“If it wasn’t for you, my father would have never showered all his love and care on you, alienating my mother and me in our own home. If it wasn’t for you, my father would have never left my mother the way he separated from her. It was all because of you!”
“Oh, really?”
Long Yu replied with a hint of taunt: “When did your father ever alienate you? When you came back from the Hanbing sect, you asked him for his copper sword and he straightaway gave it to you, without any hesitation. You are talking about alienation, then tell me, where were you when your father was injured by Feng Yun?”
Long Yu stepped forward and mercilessly said: “At that time, instead of backing your injured father, you were present at the celebration organised by the new head of the Feng clan to congratulate him!”
Hearing this, Feng Yao’s face reddened with shame, but she shouted back: “Feng Yun had already defeated my father at that time, so naturally he became the new head of the Feng clan and the owner of the Feng clan mansion!”
“Haven’t you still understood your follies?”
Long Yu sneered back: “Feng Yun was not the rightful head of the Feng clan, YOU were! Moreover, he had injured your father badly and you not only ignored your father but even joined the enemy in his celebrations. How ridiculous!”
This war of words between Feng Yao and Long Yu made Pond Snow know their story from the beginning till the end, and he was somewhat surprised now.
This Feng Yao and her mother had really wronged Feng Longsong!
“Even after all this, my righteous foster father gave you and your mother an opportunity.”
Long Yu continued: “He had said that those who wanted to stay can stay and fight for Feng clan as the new members of the clan. But you and your mother turned your backs on him and left the clan when it needed both of you. Now tell me, Feng Yao, was it you and your mother who alienated foster father or was it foster father who alienated you and your mother?”
Out of all the accusations, one accusation Feng Yao really wanted to refute. Didn’t she come back and agreed to marry w.a.n.g Tianzhuo, only to save her father and the Feng clan from being destroyed?
However, these words froze on her tongue – she couldn’t say anything!
She thought – even if she hadn’t gone back that day, the first core disciple of the Zhentian sect had already reached there to help Long Yu in defeating w.a.n.g Tianzhuo, so in any case, they wouldn’t have suffered some major loss, nor would her father have been harmed.
As Feng Yao was dumbfounded, Long Yu also lost his inclination to speak any further.
No matter what he spoke, he couldn’t change what had happened earlier. All he could do was to teach Feng Yao a lesson.
“Feng Yao, once my foster father asked me to spare your life whenever I saw you. Keeping that promise, I am allowing you to leave…..”
Long Yu spoke with a tone of indifference: “But before you leave, you have to leave behind the battle weapon in your hand!”
Feng Yao had once again tried to kill him. He could not attack her first as he was bound by the promise he made to her father, but she could attack him any time even if he let her go for now.
Even though Long Yu was keeping the promise he made to Feng Longsong, he wouldn’t put himself to any loss. It was a top grade spiritual level battle weapon which would certainly fetch him five thousand crystal coins if he ever was to sell it.
This was a huge amount of money!
When Feng Yao heard his words, her face turned pale.
Leave her top grade spiritual level battle weapon, her sword and go away?
She was now a.s.sociated with Xinghai Lun and this boy of a mere Zhenling 2nd layer cultivation was threatening her and asking her to leave her weapon and go away!
Feng Yao subconsciously wanted to draw her sword out and fight Long Yu, but chose not to mess with him as she was still far from being an opponent of Long Yu.
Even if she had recently met Xinghai Lun and received his help, leapt up from Wudao eighth layer to Zhenling second layer, obtained her own top grade spiritual level battle weapon – Long Yu’s progress was still more than her.
Long Yu was standing in front of her, holding his spear and full of anger, surrounded by the corpses of Deng Shun and his three men – it was a terrifying spectacle!
And it was just enough to deter Feng Yao.
“Alright.”
Feng Yao clenched her teeth, unclamped the sheath which held the sword and unwillingly threw it towards Long Yu.
Immediately afterwards, Feng Yao rushed towards the left entrance of the Demon valley.
“Younger brother Long Yu, you are really……fierce!”
Pond Snow settled down in the snow, gave a wry smile as he could not figure out what to say to Long Yu. The only word he could think of was “fierce”.
“Brother Pond Snow, thank you so much for your help.”
Long Yu smiled.
“You should not thank me, brother Long Yu. Even if I had not stood up to help you, you have become so powerful now that you could’ve managed it on your own.”
Pond Snow laughed, shaking his head.
“No, I appreciate your help. If you had not intervened, I would have surely killed Feng Yao and then would never be able to face my foster father again out of remorse.”
Long Yu said lightly: “But this was the last time I let her go. If she tries to attack me the next time, I will not spare her!”
“She is now backed by Xinghai Lun who is a powerful warrior himself. Perhaps she won’t stop pursuing you so easily.”
Pond Snow said with a severe look on his face.
“Then you just wait and watch.”
Long Yu chuckled – he couldn’t care any less.
“Such being the case, I, Pond Snow, take my leave. I hope to see you again, brother Long Yu.”
Pond Snow cupped his fists to salute Long Yu and turned around to leave empty handed.
Obviously, he had given all his harvest to Long Yu!
Naturally, this was good for Long Yu – the corpses of Deng Shun and his comrades and the corpse of the dragon beast were worth a great fortune!
Certainly, the most important thing was the top grade spiritual level battle weapon that Feng Yao had left behind – her sword!
