Chapter 126 Sparring With Mu Qinglian
' Hmm, I wonder if he is alright. Well, As a responsible wif...Senior Sister, I am checking him in the early morning.'
Mu Qinglian hummed as she flew toward the Solitary Flower Peak. It was the morning of late autumn, the sky was clear and bright, with sunlight shining the dew drops on the leaves and flowers.
As Mu Qinglian landed on the mountain peak, her smile turned stiff. She noticed Chu Li was sitting in the courtyard, meditating in the early morning. A blue colored carp revolved around her, absorbing the Water Qi. Not to mention, her aura was much more robust than before.
' She... She already reached True Core Formation Realm?' It's been three days at most!' Mu Qinglian was shocked. But what made her even more shocked was the attire of Chu Li.
She was just wearing a short, loose dress, which could be even considered as a nightgown. Wearing such a thing in Long Ming's courtyard, really made Mu Qinglian speechless.
She hid her aura and observed Chu Li. Mu Qinglian saw Xiao'er coming toward Chu Li with a small basin of warm water.
" Sister Chu, You must be tired. Please, make yourself fresh." Xiao'er smiled. Chu Li opened her eyes as she hurriedly spoke. " Ah, Sister Xiao'er, You don't need to do all this for me. I can fetch water myself."
" Hehe, I am Young Master's maid. The doing the chores of the house in my duty, you know?" Xiao'er smiled.
" But since you are here..." Xiao'er grinned as she spoke. "You guys were really loud last night."
Chu Li's ears turned red when he heard that. " I... It wasn't..."
" Hehe, Don't worry, Sister Chu. Didn't your cultivation also advance?" Xiao'er winked. " It was simply dual cultivation after all."
" Well..."
Chu Li was surprised by the casual attitude of Xiao'er. Maybe it wasn't Long Mong's first time doing such things. However, the next line made her stumble once again.
" So, You like it from behind, huh?"
Chu Li almost choked when she heard Xiao'er's question. " SISTER! YO-YOU SHOULDN'T BE SO DIRECT!"
" Hehe..."
" Alright, Xiao'er, You have teased Chu Li enough."
Both of them turned around and saw Long Ming walking outside. Yawning, he looked at them and grinned. " Xiao'er, Since when did you become such a teasy person?"
" Hehe, Maybe I after being your maid?" Xiao'er chuckled. But both girls gazed at Long Ming, who just woke up and stood topless. The sunlight made his fair body look even more masculine, his muscles were well-defined and not of a pretty boy.
Suddenly, Long Ming blinked as his Heavenly Revelation Eyes flashed with a mysterious light. Crossing his arms, he leaned on the wall, and a light grin appeared on his face.
" Senior Sister, Till when you are going to eavesdrop?"
Chu Li and Xiao'er were shocked when they heard Long Ming. They used their divine sense, but they couldn't find a trace of anyone else at all. However, after Long Ming said that, Mu Qinglian finally emerged from the shadows.
" Hehe, Who would have thought my junior brother is praying with flowers instead of cultivating with diligence?" She spoke with a hint of mockery.
" Ahhh!"
Chu Li was startled by the sudden appearance of Mu Qinglian. When she realized her attire, she bowed and rushed inside the house immediately. However, Long Ming didn't bother to cover his topless body at all.
Walking into the garden, he stretched his body. " Well, I think I am cultivating with enough diligence though. And, why not have some fun, instead of sitting on stone and absorbing energy?"
" Is that so?" noVE-lB-1n
Long Ming shivered when he saw a smile blossoming on Mu Qinglian's face. She patted her fist with her palm, walking toward Long Ming with a bright smile. " Then, How about I entertain you, Junior Brother Long?"
" Huh? Wait! Senior Sister..."
But it was too late. Mu Qinglian's body moved as she threw her punch at Long Ming. A spiraling qi filled with frost energy covered her fist, charging at Long Ming with powerful momentum.
However, this time, Long Ming didn't back away. His Scarlet Yang Qi burst out as he used the technique he taught to Chu Li.
" Flame Dragon's Breath!"
" Frozen Crystal Fist!"
Flames coiled around Long Ming's fist like a gigantic dragon as it shot at Mu Qinglian's icy fist.
The dragon of flame roared, its mouth chomped down the spiraling frost qi. Although it managed to dissipate most of the frost qi, Mu Qinglian's attack still reached Long Ming.
" Crimson Yang Battle Armor!"
A crimson colored armor appeared on Long Ming's body, blocking Mu Qinglian's fist.
*BOOM*
Long Ming shot out as Mu Qinglian's punch reached his body. Cracks appeared on his armor like spiderwebs as he got shot into the air. However, filling his body, he somersaulted and landed on his feet.
" Hmm, You have improved quite a lot." Mu Qinglian chuckled. " But not by that much."
Her body moved again as if she was one with the wind itself. This time, several Frozen Crystal Fists appeared before Long Ming, attacking him like a barrage.
" Hmph! I won't just sit back and do nothing." Long Ming's left fist flashed with Crimson Yang Qi while his right fist shone with fragrant Yin Qi.
" Crimson Flame Dragon Fist!"
" Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm!"
Thanks to Long Ming's formidable spiritual qi along with his Eternal True Spirit Art, he can divert his attention and launch two different types of battle techniques at the same time.
Using both techniques, he started to counter the attacks of Mu Qinglian. The Crimson Flame Dragon Fist carried Fire Qi mixed with Crimson Yang Qi, breaking the frost like stones.
Meanwhile, the Jade Shattering Yin Pulsing Palm bypassed all the attacks and targeted Mu Qinglian's body.
*BAM BAM BAM BAM*
Mu Qinglian was also surprised when she saw the fighting ability of Long Ming. Long Ming twisted his body as his right palm landed on Mu Qinglian's body.
" Ughh! That was pretty...nice."
Mu Qinglian took a few steps back as she bit her lips. Suddenly, her aura surged like a tidal wave, making Long Mimg's pupils dilate.
" I was right. You weren't even fighting seriously." Long Ming gave a bitter smile. But then, he readied his fist as he looked at Mu Qinglian. " But, We can't just conclude our fight like this, right?"
Mu QInglian was stunned when she heard Long Ming. A smile crept on her face.
" I see. I guess you are really the rightful inheritor of True Disciple. Master didn't make any error at all."
The aura of Mu Qinglian almost became tangible as several palms condensed in the sky. One was made of scorching flame, one was made of spiraling mist and wind, the third one was like a palm made of crystal ice while the fourth one is filled with blood and vitality. And other than those major four, there are also many images condensed from True Qi, looming over Long Ming to attack.
" Four Seasons Great Changing Fist." Long Ming mumbled as it was a technique of Four Seasons Flowing Energy Art.
This was the true power of the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, which can borrow the true qi of Heaven and Earth like that.
Long Ming understood that Mu Qinglian had been fighting him with the strength of a low-stage Primordial Spirit Unification Realm without some low level skills.
However, now she was showing the power of Peak of Primordial Spirit Unification Realm, with a technique of Imperial Class.
Long Ming took a deep breath as he activated his Great Mystic Mountain Physique activated. A heavy aura seeped out from his body as an image of a gigantic mountain range appeared above him, the peaks covered with mysterious fog.
" I see, So this is the physique you are cultivating, huh?" Mu Qinglian stepped forward, launching his attack. " Let's see how powerful it is."
" Great Mystic Mountain Physique! Mountain Moving Palm!"
Suddenly, Xiao'er and Chu Li, who were watching the battle from the sidelines, felt the gravity around them shifting. It was as if some invisible weight weighing on them, making their feet sink in the ground.
Long Ming felt like he was carrying the entire weight of a mountain. What comes with formidable weight? An unparalleled force!
Along with his physique, Long Ming also used his Rushing Lightning Steps.
Although the Great Mystic Mountain Body gives a paramount weight and power to Long Ming, it also decreases his agility by a great margin. However, with a technique like Rushing Lightning Steps, he could turn this disadvantage into an advantage.
Great mass meets powerful momentum, the combination is powerful enough to shatter any obstacle in its way.
Palms of several elements shone as they shrouded the sky, falling on Long Ming like meteors. However, the mountain behind Long Ming shifted as its peaks shone with the mist covering it.
*BOOM BOOM*
Long Ming disappeared from his position, leaving behind some faint lightning arcs. Like a powerful force, he shattered the Four Seasons Great Changing Palm with his physique like crushing stones and jade.
His palm is truly like a shifting mountain and crashing on Mu Qinglian's attack, making them destroy midway. However, Mu Qinglian didn't pause as she kept attacking Long Ming, with even more power.
Suddenly, Long Ming disappeared from his position, like vanishing in thin air. Mu Qinglian felt a shiver in her body, a crisis of danger alarmed her.
Her body shone with a resplendent light, making her look like a sacred goddess. Her palm stuck out the her right side, like she was attacking to empty space.
However, the attack landed as Long Ming's figure emerged. The moment the palm stuck into his body, Long Ming felt his entire body shatter in that instance.
The Great Mystic Mountain Physique shook as cracks appeared on the mirage of the mountain.
Like a meteor, he crashed on the ground, making a deep crater. Coughing a mouthful of blood, a heavy dizziness assaulted Long Ming.
' Th-That power...' He felt like his bones were shattered in that instance. But a strange thought filled his mind.
' Ah... She also has a physique, along with her real cultivation is at...Harmonization Realm.'
" Long Ming!!"
Mu Qinglian's aura vanished as her expression changed before she came rushing to help Long Ming.
