Chapter 19

"Clang, clang, clang"

The gentle sound of the copper gong informed everyone in Dinging City that it was now the third watch of the night.

In Fang Ling's room, where the bed had been empty, his figure slowly appeared. Sitting cross-legged, he took a deep breath and then opened his eyes.

The routine cultivation under the big tree in the western suburb had left him very satisfied. What pleased him even more was the insight he gained into martial arts before cultivation.

For cultivators, martial arts were optional, but before becoming a cultivator, martial arts were very important to many people.

At the same cultivation level, the difference in martial arts could even make it easy for some to slay their peers.

Although he used his fists to strike three hundred Tiger Might disciples, what Fang Ling had most deeply understood last night was the Light Splitting Sword Technique. Although he hadn't broken through to the second level, he felt he was at the point of breakthrough. It might happen at any time, leading to a natural progression to the second level.

Four beams of sword light!

Light footsteps slowly approached. The footsteps contained no cultivation, indicating an ordinary person.

"Master, the bird's nest soup Miss has prepared is ready," a gentle voice came from outside.

The one who came was Xiaomei, the maid Hua Shuying had taken into the manor today. This girl was actually a neighbor of the Fang family, and she had always had a good relationship with Fang Ling and Hua Shuying. Now, with the Fang family hiring maids, she became Hua Shuying's personal maid.

"Xiaomei, in the future, let others deliver such things," Fang Ling said with a light smile as he took the bowl of soup from Xiaomei.

Bathed in the moonlight, Xiaomei was also observing Fang Ling. He was still the same young boy who used to play with her, with a thin and quiet face, and a smile that made her heart sink.

Everything seemed unchanged, but in Xiaomei's eyes, this young boy had become very powerful.

Now he was the young master of the Fang family, a hero in Dinging City who had struck down three hundred bad people, not the person she had dreamed of holding hands with a few days ago.

"Master, Miss thinks others can't do it well, and besides, Xiaomei isn't tired."

Xiaomei's words made Fang Ling nod. He picked up the bowl and drank the soup in one breath, thinking to himself that Sister Shuying was really good at managing household affairs.

Just as he was thinking about whether to get some business for the Fang family to reduce his worries, a faint sound of something breaking the air reached his ears.

This sound made Fang Ling's heart turn cold.

Although he didn't know who had come, he was very clear that the person was not friendly!

"Xiaomei, stay in the room and don't go out!" Fang Ling said, and then he flew out of his room as light as a cat.

Xiaomei's face turned red, and there was a hint of anticipation. But when she saw Fang Ling rush out, she realized she had been wrong.

"Fang Ling!"

As Fang Ling rushed out of the room, a cold voice came from above the roof.

Fang Ling looked up and saw a red figure standing at the highest point of the roof under the pale moonlight. A cold and murderous aura seemed to gather around the person like a blood cloud.

Although his combat experience was not extensive, Fang Ling's heart involuntarily shuddered. This person not only had powerful blood qi but also rich killing experience, making him a very difficult opponent.

"Who are you?" Fang Ling asked in a calm voice.

The person laughed and said, "Boy, to see me and still remain so calm, you are indeed someone. Unfortunately, you won't make it through the night!"

"I am Yu Zeren. Remember me well, so you won't die in vain!"

As Yu Zeren spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Considering you are a promising young man, I'll give you a quick death. Sever your meridians!"

Yu Zeren, Fang Ling paused for a moment and then found some memories of this person from the original owner's mind.

Yu Zeren, the Blood Soul Butcher, was a ruthless killer. Three years ago, due to a disagreement, he had cut 136 people at the Divine Sword Manor by the Qingyu Lake in Nanhua Continent into four pieces.

It was said that the people who went to clean up the scene were so shocked by the gruesome sight that one of them fainted on the spot.

"Yu Zeren, this is Dinging City. Aren't you afraid of attracting the Immortal Masters in the city?" Fang Ling kept his calm and said without showing any weakness.

Yu Zeren chuckled, and his figure floated down from the roof like a gentle breeze. He placed his hands behind his back and said proudly, "This area within a kilometer has been sealed by my Sound-Cutting Talisman. Even if you shout until your voice breaks, no one will come!"

As he spoke, Yu Zeren sneered, "The two girls in the room are quite nice. They would make good furnaces for me. What are you waiting for?"

Fang Ling naturally knew what a furnace was.

Looking at Yu Zeren, who seemed to have everything under control, Fang Ling realized he had encountered the greatest crisis since coming to this world.

If he didn't handle this well, not only would he die, but Hua Shuying would also be in danger.

Striking first is the best strategy. Without waiting for Yu Zeren to finish speaking, Fang Ling leaped into the air like an eagle and charged straight at Yu Zeren.

The Jinghong Sword was drawn as fast as lightning, and the first move of the Light Splitting Sword Technique, Lightning Flash, stabbed at Yu Zeren like a bolt of lightning.

The sword light flickered, and four sword shadows instantly stabbed at Yu Zeren's eyes and heart.

Yu Zeren faced Fang Ling's attack with a cold smile. He formed a palm into a knife and slashed three times in the direction Fang Ling was charging.

Three foot-long blood knives shot at Fang Ling like lightning.

"Clang, clang, clang"

The long sword and the three blood-red knives collided, producing a metallic sound.

Although Fang Ling held the Jinghong Sword and had raised his spirit to the highest level, he still had to retreat five steps after the three collisions, and a surge of turbid qi made his stomach feel uncomfortable.

Fang Ling, who had landed lightly from the air, first felt the gap.

Although both the fourth and sixth layers of Qi Cultivation could release internal qi externally, the sixth layer was much stronger in both quantity and quality.

Yu Zeren was a formidable opponent!

"You have some skills, boy. Take another slash!" Yu Zeren said, and again formed a palm. A blood cloud quickly gathered in front of his palm, forming a ten-foot-long blood-colored long knife in an instant.

The knife light was as fast as lightning, slashing straight at Fang Ling.

The moment the blood-colored knife light slashed at him, Fang Ling felt his body being suppressed, making it hard to move.

He couldn't stay still; if he did, he would only die!

Fang Ling gathered all his internal qi in his feet and used the Golden Goose Technique to move his body a yard away.

"Boom!"

The knife light struck a small artificial hill behind Fang Ling, cutting it into two pieces.

Yu Zeren was a bit surprised that Fang Ling could dodge his fierce attack. He coldly snorted and turned into a blood shadow, charging straight at Fang Ling.

"Bloodshed Divine Claw!"

In a cold and indifferent voice, Yu Zeren's left hand swung, and five foot-long blood shadows, like five blood swords, enveloped Fang Ling.

"Rip!"

Fang Ling again used the Golden Goose Technique to retreat thirteen steps, but his sleeve was still torn off by Yu Zeren, leaving five burning wounds.

This couldn't go on; otherwise, he would only die!

With this thought, Fang Ling no longer hesitated. He used the Jinghong Sword in the style of Fierce Sword Wild Flower, and three sword lights, as fast as dragons, slashed at Yu Zeren.

Yu Zeren sneered and, without dodging, charged at Fang Ling like a blood-colored bat.

"Boy, you have provoked my anger. I decide to crush all your bones first, and then let you watch as I kill everyone in the Fang Manor!" Yu Zeren said as he reached Fang Ling.

His palm had already deflected the Jinghong Sword, and he was about to grab Fang Ling's neck. But at that moment, he suddenly saw a flash of light, and Fang Ling disappeared without a trace.

In front of him appeared a space covering a thousand acres.

This space had mountains and water, with green grass that seemed to carry boundless vitality.

Yu Zeren didn't move but filled his body with internal qi. In an instant, he turned into a blood person.

"Come here!"

As Yu Zeren waved his hand, a thick, arm-sized venomous snake was caught in his hand.

The snake struggled to twist its body, but Yu Zeren's internal qi made it impossible to move.

Could this be a magical tool? The thought made Yu Zeren's heart leap with joy. He had reached the peak of the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation. Although he had no confidence in breaking through to the seventh layer, this didn't stop his longing for cultivation.

However, longing was one thing, and without the seventh layer of cultivation, it was hard to activate talismans, which was a great obstacle for him!

Now, this suddenly appearing space was activated by a small cultivator at the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation, which made him ecstatic! After all, such things that could be activated by cultivators below the seventh layer were rarer than powerful talismans used by higher cultivators, and more precious in the eyes of those below the seventh layer!

After all, those powerful talismans were useless to them, like a chicken rib.

But these usable ones were exceptionally precious!

The Silent Talisman he used to come here was one of his most treasured things.

This illusion-creating thing was much stronger than the Silent Talisman!

In this space, he felt his strength was suppressed, although he was still at the sixth layer, he was at the initial stage of the sixth layer.

Good thing! If he could get this thing, it would greatly enhance his strength.

"Boy, I know you're here. Now I've changed my mind. If you hand over this treasure obediently, I'll spare your life!" Yu Zeren said, and with a shake of his hand, the snake was instantly shattered into a rain of blood.

"Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead but unable to die!"

Fang Ling was not inside the Western Suburb Dusty Map. He knew that the map could only suppress people one level higher than him. Yu Zeren was at the sixth layer, so the map couldn't suppress him.

Therefore, he stood outside the map, waiting.

Waiting for the moment Yu Zeren broke out of the map.

This would be the moment when Yu Zeren was most vulnerable.

"Boom"

Yu Zeren's body was enveloped in thick blood light. If a cultivator like Guan Wushang were here, he would tremble with envy!

"Internal Qi Shield."

The most advanced martial art at the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation, impervious to blades and bullets, water and fire!

Yu Zeren was also cunning. He feared that his fifty-year-old mother would fall for Fang Ling's trick, so he activated the Internal Qi Shield, which consumed a lot of internal qi.

The moment Yu Zeren broke out, Fang Ling moved!

In his hand was a palm-sized talisman!
