55: Ling Keer was teased on the road
Endless Dead Sea!
At this moment, four streaks of light were tearing through the sky at an incredible speed!
They were flying almost skimming the surface of the sea, moving at extreme speed, leaving long white wakes.
Leading them was Tang Xiaoshan, the most Prodigy successor of the Tang Sect in this generation!
Behind him, three Elders with Auras as deep as the sea formed a triangular formation, protecting him in the center, their expressions extremely solemn.
"Young Lord!"
One of the Elders finally couldn't help but transmit a message: "We've only gone 100,000 li, and our consumption is already so terrifying! This cursed place is even more sinister than recorded! An ordinary Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artist probably couldn't last three days! At our current speed, it might take another ten days to half a month to arrive."
100,000 li!
For a Mortal, it was a distance that could not be traveled in a lifetime, but for powerhouses of their Rank, it was merely the beginning.
"What's there to fear!"
Tang Xiaoshan's voice was not loud, but it carried a deep-seated fanaticism and arrogance.
"What's a mere consumption?"
"As long as we can obtain the Sovereign of Poison Martial Arts's ‘Supreme Poison Canon’, let alone ten days! Even two years would be worth it!"
...
At the same time.
Great Tang Dynasty, Southern Border.
In the mountains and forests, a light blue figure moved in several leaps, already hundreds of meters away, as fast as a ghost.
Ling Ke'er's beautiful face was now covered in a thick layer of frost.
Depressed!
Not just a little depressed!
She was so depressed she felt like she was going to explode!
Who was she?
A Martial Sovereign in Reincarnation!
But what was the result?
She had been in the Tai Xuan Immortal Sect for almost a month, and she felt like she had gotten used to being at the bottom!
What kind of situation was this?!
Senior Brother Lin Fan, he looked like a simple country boy, but what happened? He comprehended the Dao with a single punch, creating something called the ‘Six Paths Reincarnation Fist’, and now he was challenging the Great Chu Dynasty's national gate all by himself!
Overbearing! Unreasonable!
Second Senior Sister Nanny was even more outrageous! A three-year-old toddler, sculpted in pink and jade, who only knew how to eat all day. Yet, she created a ‘Devouring Heaven Magic Skill’, and a few days ago, when she was bored, she went to Mount Hua and single-handedly beat Eastern Heretic, Western Venom, Southern Emperor, Northern Beggar, and Central Divine, all five of them, into submission!
This... were these even human?!
What made her lose her composure the most was her fourth Junior Brother, Xiao Huohuo, who had only joined the Sect a few days ago!
She initially thought he was just an ordinary person picked up, but then he told her that he was a rare ‘Endless Flame Body’ that appeared only once in ten thousand years, and he casually refined exotic flames, his cultivation soaring like a rocket!
Was there still justice?
Was there still law?
No!
I, Ling Ke'er, must never lose to these freaks!
As she circulated the ‘Mystic Maiden Heart Sutra’, which she had just achieved Minor Achievement in, she sped towards her destination for this training, the heartland of the Great Tang Dynasty.
She wanted to find good things!
Top-tier spiritual items with ice attributes!
She wanted to forge her supreme Dao foundation, and she wanted to tell the Prodigies of the Sect—I'm back!
...
Taian City.
The largest trade city on the border of the Great Tang, a place where people from all walks of life mixed, a den of Dragons and snakes.
Ling Ke'er concealed all her Aura, changed into a common Martial Artist's attire, and walked on the bustling street.
Even so, the coldness that exuded from her bones and her peerless beauty still made her the center of attention.
Unfortunately, she had no interest in the things on the roadside.
She went straight to the largest pharmacies and exotic item shops in the city.
The result...
"Trash!"
"All trash!"
After visiting seven or eight shops in a row, Ling Ke'er's face grew colder and colder.
Just as her patience was running out and she was about to go directly into the deep mountains and old forests to find things herself.
"Oh, little lady, all alone?"
A glib voice, carrying a hint of superficiality, sounded from behind her.
Ling Ke'er frowned, her steps not stopping.
She couldn't be bothered with such a fly.
But that person, not knowing his place, reached out a hand directly towards her wrist!
"Don't leave, play with this Young Master!"
It was a pale-faced, dark-eyed Young Master in brocade robes, clearly someone whose body had been hollowed out by wine and women.
The current Prime Minister, Prime Minister Changsun Wuji's, own nephew, Changsun Hao!
In this Taian City, he was the local tyrant!
However, just as his dirty hand was about to touch Ling Ke'er's wrist.
Ling Ke'er didn't even turn her head.
It was just that wrist he had "targeted", seemingly casually, gave a slight tremor!
"Crack!"
An incredibly crisp, yet incredibly chilling sound of bones cracking suddenly exploded!
"Ah—!"
Changsun Hao's scream almost overturned half the street!
His outstretched hand was now dangling at an extremely twisted angle, the bones from his wrist to his fingers shattered inch by inch by an invisible force!
"Bitch! You... you dare to hurt me?!"
Changsun Hao was sweating profusely from the pain, but his face was filled with disbelief and rage.
"Do you know who this Young Master is? My uncle is Prime Minister Changsun Wuji! You're dead! Your whole family is dead!"
Ling Ke'er finally slowly turned around.
Her clear, cold Phoenix eyes showed not a ripple, just gazing at him calmly.
As if looking at something... already dead.
Prime Minister Changsun Wuji?
Prime Minister?
Is that impressive?
"Noisy."
Ling Ke'er's red lips slightly parted, and she softly uttered two words.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Changsun Hao laughed in extreme anger, resentment and lewdness intertwined in his eyes: "You ungrateful wretch! Get her! Grab her! This Young Master will make her wish she were dead tonight! This figure, these long legs, tonight will be a blast."
The words had just fallen!
Whoosh!
A black shadow shot out from behind Changsun Hao like a ghost!
A powerful Aura, unique to an Innate master, instantly locked onto Ling Ke'er!
"Little lady, if you come with us willingly, you'll suffer much less."
The black-clad man's voice was hoarse, but his moves were extremely vicious, directly striking Ling Ke'er's head with a palm!
The surrounding passersby had long since scattered in terror, hiding a hundred meters away.
An Innate master!
That was a great figure who could establish a Sect anywhere!
This woman was finished!
However, facing this thunderous strike.
She seemed to be talking to herself, or perhaps to the black-clad man, softly murmuring:
"Is that all?"
"Seeking death!"
How could that black-clad man ever have endured such contempt? He was instantly enraged! His palm force increased by another three points!
But the next second.
Ling Ke'er didn't move at all.
No, she moved.
She just raised her right hand, extended a fair, jade-like index finger, and pointed it remotely at the charging black-clad man.
There was no earth-shattering roar.
There was no dazzling light.
"Pfft."
A soft sound, like a bubble popping.
That formidable, lightning-fast Innate master's figure abruptly stopped!
There was a blood hole in the center of his brow.
It went straight through.
The light in his eyes rapidly receded like a tide, and finally, with a "thud," he fell straight to the ground.
Dead.
An Innate master.
He didn't even touch the corner of her clothes, and he just... died?
The entire scene was utterly silent!
Changsun Hao's sneer completely froze!
He was scared!
Truly scared!
"You, you, you... don't come over!"
Watching Ling Ke'er slowly walk towards him, Changsun Hao was so scared his legs went soft, and he slumped to the ground, scooching backward with his hands and feet.
"My uncle is Prime Minister Changsun Wuji! If you touch me, there will be no place for you in the entire Great Tang! You'll be on the highest Rank wanted list!"
He was incoherent, still using his ridiculous identity for a final struggle.
Ling Ke'er's steps stopped.
She tilted her head slightly, looking at the exposed ugly behavior of the fop on the ground, her eyes full of confusion.
"Is this person... not right in the head?"
She mumbled.
Immediately, under Changsun Hao's extremely terrified gaze, she extended that slender, jade-like finger again.
Towards his forehead.
Lightly pointed.
"Pfft."
The same sound, the same blood hole.
After doing all this, Ling Ke'er seemed to have merely swatted two annoying flies, not even glancing at the corpses on the ground. She continued walking deeper into the market, searching for the spiritual items she needed.
