Chapter 202: Chapter 107: Killing is Easy_2
Even though Gong Buyu’s action seemed as light as a breeze at first glance, the danger entailed was extremely high.
Especially if those spirit treasures could liberate their spirit essence under the frigid winter’s end and exert their full strength, Gong Buyu, who had used up all his power, would definitely suffer a severe blow.
This move of Gong Buyu’s essentially placed himself in a perilous situation, not thinking about the consequences of failure in the slightest.
Before this, Shen Yuan viewed Gong Buyu as a tool to hide his own true abilities.
However, after witnessing Gong Buyu’s all-out fight, Shen Yuan began to respect his disciple a bit more, and also felt obligated to start considering for him.
In terms of combat, Shen Yuan and Gong Buyu were essentially on opposite ends.
Shen Yuan always held a few moves in reserve, whether he acted or made a move, so that he could rely on them in case of an emergency.
Gong Buyu, on the other hand, would take the initiative as long as he saw an opportunity, without considering the consequences.
“Being able to seize any opportunity in battle and utilize that opportunity to exert powerful strength to defeat the enemy is a reflection of one’s combat talent.
However, such a risky personality is not a good thing for a cultivator. Over-reliance on one’s own combat talent will eventually lead to a downfall. He needs some serious disciplining.”
With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Shen Yuan nodded towards Gong Buyu, about to speak.
However, Shen Yuan furrowed his brow in an instant, looking towards the confluence of rivers in the distance.
Among the turbulent waters outside the frozen iceberg, a large number of Aquatic Tribe members slowly emerged from the surface of the water. At the forefront, a familiar figure sat on the back of a flood dragon, his crimson eyes full of maniacal laughter.
The one who had arrived was naturally Sunn Lanyu.
Sunn Lanyu’s gaze skimmed over the iceberg, as he looked at the six Qi Training Stage powerhouses sealed within, a trace of fear flashed through his eyes.
But soon, Sunn Lanyu’s gaze turned to Gong Buyu. He spoke with a full-face smile:
“I did not expect that by being just a bit late, I missed a good show; it’s truly a pity.”
On the Primal Chaos Tower, cultivators of major sects didn’t buy Sunn Lanyu’s story.
They saw Sunn Lanyu’s ill intentions and bluntly spoke to Sunn Lanyu:
“Sunn Lanyu, this is the Dao Debating Convention, what does you bringing a group of Aquatic Tribe mean?”
“This is Human Clan’s territory, you should roll out!”
“Servant of the River Ji Dragon Palace, leave the Dao Debating Convention!”
Today is the day of the Dao Debating Convention. Despite the lack of outstanding talents, the remaining sects on the Primal Chaos Tower had profound backgrounds which were not much weaker than the major sects spearheaded by Mount Laojun.
Adding the numerous blessed lands among them, the 72 Blessed Land, and blessed lands passed down from the last Spirit Energy Tidal Surge era, there were at least dozens of sects relying on blessed lands holding fort on Primal Chaos Tower.
Such a massive magnitude, even the River Ji Dragon Palace had to give three points of consideration. There was absolutely no need to pay any heed to Sunn Lanyu, a mere representative of the River Ji Dragon Palace.
Seeing so many sects threatening him, Sunn Lanyu showed no hint of fear on his face.
A shimmer of light flashed from his right hand’s storage ring, and he hung up a large signboard on the head of the flood dragon and proclaimed loudly:
“These are not simply Aquatic Tribe members; they are my disciples of the River Ji Sect.
My River Ji Sect preaches for all, not bound by your Human Clan’s narrow-mindedness, all Aquatic Tribe can join under my River Ji Sect!”
As soon as these words came out, the Aquatic Tribe members behind Sunn Lanyu immediately echoed:
“We are only here to gain some insights from the Dao Debating Convention.”
“This is blatant racial discrimination!”
“The Human Clan is really despicable.”
Sunn Lanyu’s rebuttal left all cultivators from the various sects trembling with anger, pointing at him but not knowing what to say.
Indeed, many sects among them did preach for all, but none of them were shameless like Sunn Lanyu.
However, the River Ji Sect that Sunn Lanyu brought out had a clear lineage, and the backing of the River Ji Dragon Palace, which left the major sects with no grounds for accusations.
Sunn Lanyu sneered, whispering:
“Grotto heavens Sacred Ground? Nothing but a bunch of old fossils bound by rules.”
As he said this, Sunn Lanyu lifted his head to look at Gong Buyu at the summit of the iceberg.
“My River Ji Sect originally wanted to compete for the control of this Dao Debating Convention. It’s a pity that we came a little late and missed this crucial battle.
“However, I, Sun Lan Yu, also do not wish to take advantage of others. So, you can leave freely, and I, Sun Lan Yu, guarantee not to harm you in the slightest. How does that sound?”
When these words came out of Sun Lan Yu’s mouth, it immediately caused the multitude of cultivators on the Primal Chaos Tower to widen their eyes.
“Unwilling to take advantage of a crisis? He is clearly here to harvest the fruits outstandingly.”
“I have never seen such a bare-faced, shameless person!”
“If you truly had the courage to show the intention of competing in the discourse meeting of the River Ji Sect from the beginning, you would have already become everyone’s target, and you would not have survived until now.”
No matter how other people slandered, Sun Lan Yu remained calm in his demeanor, just smiling at Gong Buyu.
He had seen early on that her divine skill invocation had exhausted Gong Buyu’s vitality, spirit, and mana. Even if there was some degree of recovery in such a short time, it was ultimately futile.
In Sun Lan Yu’s view, Gong Buyu leaving was an eventuality, unless she was foolish. After all, he didn’t want to act rashly and completely offend Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens and the elderly creature within the Primal Chaos Tower.
Gong Buyu, however, only furrowed her brows slightly before responding in an indifferent tone.
“If you want to fight, take action.”
The definite refusal was unexpected to Sun Lan Yu, and his smiling face instantly stiffened, then his expression turned into a complete coldness.
With a pat on his green flood dragon, Sun Lan Yu said in a deep voice,
“Teach her a lesson!”
After saying this, he immediately flew off the back of the green flood dragon.
The flood dragon let out a screech, its huge body circling on the water surface for a moment before charging straight towards Gong Buyu.
“Bastard, he dared to let the Aquatic Tribe participate in the discourse meeting!”
“This is a violation of the rules!”
Upon hearing these words, Sun Lan Yu proudly raised his head and replied,
“This is the guardian spirit beast of the River Ji Sect and also a disciple of the River Ji Sect. Why should it not participate?”
Upon the icy mountain, Gong Buyu manipulated the fragment of her mana that was recovering, her gaze determined and calm.
She has a strong affinity for the ice system. Being in this icy mountain greatly increased the speed of her mana recovery. In just a short while, she has recovered nearly a third of her mana.
Yet for Gong Buyu, mana is only the least important part of her state. What really matters is the Divine Sense and Elemental Qi consumed by that strike of the divine skill.
With the remaining Divine Sense and Elemental Qi, she couldn’t display her true strength, and the Qi Training Stage flood dragon before her now posed a great threat to her.
But even so, Gong Buyu didn’t want to give up.
She wanted to walk the path of invincibility that her master had walked, never bowing down to anyone, especially not to the despicable dogs of the Aquatic Tribe.
With her thoughts running through her mind, Gong Buyu pondered over a strategy to break the situation.
Just then, a silver sword light that was invisible to the naked eye suddenly flew out of the Primal Chaos Tower. The sword light seemed to merge into the space, silently appearing in front of Gong Buyu.
It was a rusty Bronze Ancient Sword. Gong Buyu recognized it instantly as her master’s companion sword.
“Draw the sword!”
The plain voice of Shen Yuan rang in Gong Buyu’s ears.
Following Shen Yuan’s words, she instinctively reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword.
“As a cultivator, always remember not to put yourself in danger.
Always keep some aces up your sleeve for your own safety when you act. This is what I teach you in your first lesson.”
As he spoke, the ferocious green flood dragon had already charged in front of the icy mountain, its fierce mouth open wide with greed in its eyes.
Before Gong Buyu can make any move, she feels the will within this Bronze Ancient Sword mobilizing her residual mana. The merging of her vitality and mana, along with the waning cold contained within it, have also merged into the sword at this moment.
A sharp cold glint flashed over the icy mountain. Gong Buyu instinctively swung the Bronze Ancient Sword in her hand. The sword light traced a perfect arc in the void, slashing directly towards the ferocious flood dragon.
Under the sword light, it was as if a divine spirit was trembling and a True Dragon was crying out in mourning. The flood dragon didn’t even have a chance to react; its body was frozen in the void.
A clear bloodstain appeared around its neck, the tough dragon scale and protective divine skill shattered without any resistance, and its fierce head fell on the icy mountain, its blood freezing into ice crystals before it could gush out.
Then, a casual voice slowly rang out,
“As for such a stupid creature, just slay it!”
