Supreme of Seven Realms

5Ling Tianyu quickly fled towards the north. He had already made up his mind to do so because the Central Region was just north of the Southern Prefecture. Since he could not directly head towards the East Continent from the east, then he would take a detour from the middle region.    

    

Although it had been a while, it was still safe. At the very least, it was impossible for the people of the Flame Devil Sect to chase them to the Central Region.    

    

Ever since they left the capital, Ling Tianyu had been using Phantom Confusion. As long as his zhenqi was depleted, he would consume the Energy Recovery Pill and continue moving forward.    

    

He couldn't relax in the slightest when facing the pursuit of a warrior at the peak of the Life and Death Realm.    

    

Fortunately, his speed was quite fast, and he was able to reach a location thousands of miles away from the capital.    

    

"If I use the power of the jade pendant, I might be able to fight with a warrior at the peak of the Life and Death Realm." While he was running, Ling Tianyu was still secretly feeling excited in his heart.    

    

The power from the jade pendant could instantly raise his cultivation to the early stages of the Life and Death Realm. This way, he would be able to compete with those at the peak of the Life and Death Realm.    

    

It was a pity that there was only one last time left for the Jade Pendant, and he did not want to waste it in a situation where there was no absolute danger.    

    

It was a good thing that it would only take two months to travel from Hua Du City to Central State. When they reached the next city, they could hire a horse carriage.    

    

Ling Tianyu rested for a moment before making preparations to depart.    

    

Suddenly, a powerful aura locked onto him.    

    

"Not good, we've been caught up." Ling Tianyu's first reaction was to escape. However, while he was escaping, Ling Tianyu had discovered that this aura wasn't that strong.    

    

At the very least, he wasn't a warrior at the peak of the Life and Death Realm. That meant he wasn't a silver-masked man or a bronze masked man.    

    

"There's actually someone chasing after me?" Ling Tianyu slowed down his footsteps. Judging from this aura, this person should be in the middle stages of the Life and Death Realm.    

    

"Hmph. I would quite like to see who chased after this young master for no reason at all." Even the clay figure had three fires. Ever since he came to the Southern Prefecture, he had been targeted by an unknown force.    

    

Even he didn't know why those people wanted to capture him, but now, another one actually came.    

    

"Haha, you finally don't have the strength to run anymore, right? Being able to run so far away while only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, this old man truly admires you."    

    

Seeing Ling Tianyu's movements slow down, a laughter sounded out from the air. Then, a gray-robed elder appeared before him.    

    

This person looked disdainfully at Ling Tianyu, and it was clear that he was looking down on him.    

    

"Qin Zheng Ming is such a coward. He actually died at the hands of a tiny True Essence Realm warrior." The grey-robed old man muttered to himself.    

    

"Who are you?" Ling Tianyu frowned and asked.    

    

Asking was just an affirmation. In truth, he already knew from his words that this person should be from the Sunfire Sect.    

    

"Hahahaha, who is this old man? You think you deserve to know? However, I know that your name is Ling Tianyu and you are also an honorary elder of the Apothecary Guild. " The grey-robed elder laughed loudly. In his eyes, Ling Tianyu had already become a dead man.    

    

"You know that I am the honorary elder of the Pill Refiner's Association, but you still dare to stop me?" Ling Tianyu asked.    

    

"Hmph, the Alchemist Association is nothing. Those fellows only know how to concoct pills and nothing else. Furthermore, even if the Alchemist Association knew that you're dead, would they be able to find out about me?"    

    

The grey robed elder snorted, he was still confused about what had happened in Hua Du City so he asked, "Brat, what did you do in Hua Capital? To think that those two would actually chase after and kill him! "    

    

In the old man's heart, he guessed that Ling Tianyu must have obtained something that the two of them were drooling over, or perhaps he had stolen something from them. That was why the two of them were fighting so intensely.    

    

In this way, if he could obtain this, wouldn't he be able to greatly profit?    

    

Thus, Elder Ying did not use the communication talisman to send the news of him finding Ling Tianyu to the other two. Instead, he wanted to be in possession of some information so as long as he could kill Ling Tianyu and hand him over to the Young Sect Master, then there would be nothing for him to do.    

    

Looking at the old man's hopeful gaze, Ling Tianyu said faintly, "Do you think you are worthy of knowing?"    

    

Returning the favor back, Ling Tianyu returned the words back to the elder on the spot.    

    

The grey-clothed old man was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices as he said angrily, "Kid, you actually dare to not know how to appreciate a favor? Then, don't blame the old man for teaching you a lesson first. "    

    

Boom!    

    

The aura of the grey-robed old man erupted as he made a grasping motion with one hand, before directly pushing the spear out.    

    

Surrounding him, the Mandates of Life and Death in the air suddenly formed a gigantic claw imprint, aiming straight at Ling Tianyu.    

    

When experts at the Life and Death Realm attacked, there was no need for any fancy tricks. With a single move, it was clear who was stronger.    

    

Facing this grab, Ling Tianyu's zhenqi had already formed a defense around his body. At the same time, his copper spirit body was activated. Then, he took out the Devouring Spirit Sword and sent out a total of four phenomena.    

    

Roar!    

    

All of a sudden, four sword Qis shot out, forming a ferocious beast that was completely dead in the air. They interweaved, forming a sharp sword light that pierced toward the claw imprint.    

    

"Sword Qi Manifestation, are you a Life and Death Realm martial artist?" When the old man saw this, his eyes were filled with shock.    

    

Right after he finished his words, a 'boom' was heard. That beam of sword light had already clashed against the claw imprint.    

    

The huge force spread out and caused the surrounding trees to break apart.    

    

Thump, thump, thump …    

    

Ling Tianyu took eight steps back after receiving the counterforce from the force. He felt a stifling sensation in his chest, and a mouthful of blood gushed out from his mouth.    

    

"Damn, a middle stage Life and Death Realm martial artist is powerful!" Ling Tianyu cursed silently. This grey robed elder had the strength of at least a 5-star Life and Death Realm cultivator. As for him, he was at most a 4-star Life and Death Realm expert.    

    

Once one reached the Life and Death Realm, although one star was only one star lower, that was still a huge gap.    

    

Although Ling Tianyu was injured, it wasn't very serious. As for the grey-robed old man, he looked at Ling Tianyu as if he was a monster.    

    

"You can actually resist sixty percent of my strength?"    

    

The grey-robed elder asked in shock. He saw that Ling Tianyu was only at the early stage of the Refinement Realm, so he used sixty percent of his strength to make Ling Tianyu suffer a little and force him to hand over the treasure that he was thinking of.    

    

But who would have thought that Ling Tianyu would be able to block one of his blows.    

    

"No wonder he was able to kill Old Devil Qin …" The gray-clothed old man quietly thought.    

    

"60% strength?" I say, why are you so weak. However, I am only able to use 60% of my strength! " Ling Tianyu wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth and said calmly.    

    

He was speaking the truth. With his current strength, he could definitely use the Five Elephants Sword Technique a few times. He could also use his full strength to attack the six elephants, but that would drain him of all his Zhen Qi.    

    

"Alright, it seems that I have underestimated you. Let me see if you are being stubborn."    

    

The old man didn't believe it. How could a warrior at the early stage of the Refinement Realm defeat him?    

    

"First Stance of the Flame Palm!"    

    

As the sound of his voice faded, the old man soared up into the skies. The will of his Mandate had already solidified.    

    

This was the signature martial skill of the Sunfire Sect, and Ling Tianyu was even more certain of his identity.    

    

Due to the speed of the grey robed elder, Ling Tianyu had no choice but to use all of his strength.    

    

"Damn it, let's go all out!"    

    

Ling Tianyu gritted his teeth. He wanted to test his limits. With a wave of his Spirit Devouring Sword, sword qi gushed out. One, two, three... Six paths.    

    

"Six Elephants!"    

    

"Roar!"    

    

The six types of killers flew in the air before condensing into a physical entity, slashing towards the huge flaming palm.    

    

Bang!    

    

With a loud noise, the ground shook and rocks and sand flew everywhere.    

    

Ling Tianyu's sword light was annihilated, but the old man's flaming palm did not disappear. The remaining energy shot towards Ling Tianyu.    

    

"Body of the Copper Spirit!"    

    

Ling Tianyu did not have the time to enter the space of the jade pendant. He let out a loud shout and decided to face this attack head on.    

    

Puff …    

    

With a single blow, Ling Tianyu was sent flying.
