Chapter 1337 A Group of Weirdos (Part 1)
Library of Heaven's Path · 第1337章 一群怪人(上)
Zhang Xuan was also dumbfounded.
He had only met this brother-in-law once, and had been punched flying. What did he want with him?
Could it be... that he knew about his relationship with Ruoxi and had agreed?
His body trembled, and he couldn't help but get excited.
If this violent brother-in-law agreed, many things would become simple.
Following closely behind him, he walked out of the elite class. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly felt his body tremble, and a chill surged up from within.
Forgot about the breakthrough...
After swallowing the Cold Ice Liquid, he hadn't had time to cultivate before Fei Shi came to talk to him. After the talk, he still hadn't had time to cultivate when his brother-in-law appeared and dragged him away in a hurry.
An ordinary person, even a genius of the Ice Palace, would turn into an ice pop after taking a sip of Cold Ice Liquid. Zhang Xuan had swallowed three bottles in one go. Anyone else would have frozen to death long ago. He possessed Heavenly Dao true energy, and although he could resist it, he couldn't hold out for long and needed to resolve it quickly.
Now that the cold energy had erupted, he immediately felt something was wrong. The cold grew fiercer, his internal organs seemed about to freeze, and his whole body trembled incessantly.
No, I need to break through quickly, and only through cultivation can I resolve this...
Knowing that if this continued, he would surely freeze to death, Zhang Xuan's brows twitched. He hurriedly circulated the true energy in his body to dissolve the cold and convert it into true energy, charging at the bottleneck in his cultivation.
What are you doing?
Feeling the changes in his body, Luo Xuanqing stopped and frowned.
I need to... cultivate!
Zhang Xuan's lips trembled as he spoke.
The cold had already invaded his body, and he could barely resist it. His speech was trembling and hard to understand.
Can't you cultivate some other time? I have something to discuss with you. There will be plenty of time for cultivation later!
Thinking it was something major, but hearing it was about cultivation, Luo Xuanqing waved his hand: "Hurry and follow me. Forget it, you're too slow. I'll drag you and fly!"
Before Zhang Xuan could explain in detail, he felt his body wrapped in a force. "Whoosh!" As if traveling through space and time, he flew straight ahead.
Woo woo woo!
Wind howled all around. Zhang Xuan felt light flickering continuously in his eyes. He didn't know how fast they were flying, but it even surpassed his Heavenly Dao movement technique.
As expected of a genius of the Luo family...
He marveled inwardly.
This brother-in-law, Ruoxi's brother, surely had a better grasp of space than ordinary people, so his speed went without saying.
Although he had cultivated the Derivation Heaven Scripture and possessed the Traveler Without Boundaries technique, his cultivation was limited, so his actual speed still fell slightly short in comparison.
Forget it for now. I need to hurry and digest the energy in the Cold Ice Liquid, or I'll freeze stiff. Even if I don't die, it'll be a huge hassle...
Knowing this was no time for shock, Zhang Xuan no longer cared about being dragged along. He quickly closed his eyes and frantically digested the cold energy in his body.
As he refined more and more energy, his depleted true energy grew thicker and thicker, and his level slowly increased.
As he cultivated continuously, feeling the cold in his body gradually melt away, he felt his body shake and came to a stop.
What appeared before his eyes was not the familiar buildings of the Holy Son Hall, but an empty field.
He was locked within a mass of true energy. Luo Xuanqing stood not far away, hands behind his back, seemingly lost in thought.
Brother-in-law... Brother Luo, where is this? Why have you brought me here?
His lips trembling from the cold, Zhang Xuan couldn't help asking.
Don't speak!
Luo Xuanqing waved his hand.
I...
Zhang Xuan was completely baffled.
He had brought him here, said nothing, and when he asked, he told him not to speak. What on earth did this guy want?
Woo woo woo!
Full of confusion and not knowing what to do, he heard a sobbing sound, like a ghost, now near, now far.
Hmph!
With a cold snort, Luo Xuanqing took a step forward.
Boom!
A powerful aura surged from his body. Zhang Xuan immediately felt the space before him twist as if pulled by something. His own consciousness also seemed to vanish in an instant, entering an unknown void beyond his control.
So this is the Void Ascension realm?
His pupils contracted.
The seventh level of the Saint Domain, the Void Ascension realm. Not only does one's domain become elusive, but more importantly, one creates one's own void environment. Here, as long as the other party is unwilling, even consciousness cannot probe or find you.
This was the case with Luo Xuanqing before him. When his consciousness fell near the other party, it was like a stone falling into mud; in an instant, the connection was severed, and he could no longer sense it.
Unable to sense with consciousness, even though he knew Luo Xuanqing was right in front of him, it was as if he had disappeared, impossible to detect.
A strong practitioner of the Void Ascension realm controls his own void. If he truly wants to hide, neither consciousness nor the naked eye can observe him. Unless one's cultivation is comparable to his, one cannot even find him!
Eye of Insight!
Understanding this, Zhang Xuan set aside his cultivation for the moment. Patterns appeared in his eyes as he looked forward again.
Whoosh!
Luo Xuanqing, who had disappeared before, appeared before him again. Though still somewhat blurry, he was no longer completely invisible.
Boom!
Under the illumination of the Eye of Clarity, this brother-in-law seemed to be fighting someone. Vast energy scattered in all directions, tearing up the entire field.
Admittedly, although this brother-in-law was violent and reckless, his combat prowess was indeed not fake. Even if all of Zhang Xuan's current strength were combined, he would certainly be no match.
"Fierce Man, can you defeat him?"
His heart stirred, and he couldn't help asking.
Fierce Man had once said that even a Saint Realm Level 7 expert was no match. His brother-in-law's strength had also reached that level—could he win?
"An ordinary Saint Realm Level 7, I can easily slaughter, but this one... I'm no match!"
Fierce Man's somewhat embarrassed voice sounded.
Although he had devoured the Fierce Man's will from the Jibei Swamp and made great progress, he could only handle ordinary Saint Realm Level 7. Luo Xuanqing, as the core genius of the Luo family and the Destroyer feared by everyone in the Saint Son Hall... even with increased power, he was no match.
"And here I thought even Saint Realm Level 7 was no match for you..."
Zhang Xuan curled his lip.
When this guy first woke up, he boasted so loudly that Zhang Xuan thought he was really formidable, hoping he could be as impressive as his brother-in-law. Now it seemed he had been overthinking...
"Well..."
Sensing his displeasure, Fierce Man quickly said, "Master, if you let me devour that 'Wisdom' character, I can definitely defeat this guy easily! Let me devour the 'Righteousness' character, and I can even fight a Saint Realm Level 8. Devour the 'Benevolence' character, and even a Saint Realm Level 9 might not be able to surpass me..."
"Alright, stop boasting. Forget about those characters, however you think!"
Scorning inwardly, Zhang Xuan instructed carefully.
Those were treasures left by Confucius for the Saint Son Hall, specifically to suppress fortune. You talk about devouring this and devouring that... quite bold!
But thinking about it, he could understand. This guy was a super-strong expert who had once trapped even Confucius for many days, unable to escape, so naturally he didn't fear him like others did.
"Yes..."
Rebuked, Fierce Man dared not speak. Zhang Xuan looked forward again.
"Haha, worthy of being a genius of the Luo family, truly powerful. I accept your invitation!"
Whoosh!
The previously unclear scene restored itself. Then Zhang Xuan saw that beside Luo Xuanqing, a short man had appeared, only half his height, with skin as black as charcoal, but his eyes shone with dazzling light, as if they could tear the air at any moment.
The nearby field, from the earlier battle, was torn into one huge pit after another, along with many deep ravines. If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that it was flat before, he would have suspected he had arrived at some treacherous mountain range.
"Another Saint Realm Level 7 expert!"
His heart tightened.
Although he couldn't discern the other's cultivation level, being able to fight Luo Xuanqing to a draw showed that his combat strength was definitely not inferior to Saint Realm Level 7.
"Who is this? Why bring him?"
As he looked at the other, the short man also looked over, frowning.
"He is..."
Luo Xuanqing was about to speak when a crane's cry sounded from the sky. Then they saw a huge celestial crane flying over quickly.
This celestial crane was not pure white but, like a phoenix, had colorful feathers on its tail, with flames seeming to flow over them.
"That's... a Seven-Colored Celestial Crane!"
His expression solemn, Zhang Xuan was filled with shock.
This celestial crane was completely different from those stupid ones he had attracted while playing the zither. It was a sacred beast that had survived since ancient times, a Seven-Colored Celestial Crane. Even without cultivation, upon reaching adulthood, it would possess combat strength at Saint Realm Level 7!
"You two are early!"
As he was shocked, a voice sounded. Looking up, he saw a young man standing on the crane's back.
Also around thirty years old, but somewhat fat, with a very tall stature, even taller than Luo Xuanqing by a head. Sun Qiang in front of him was like a child in comparison, appearing extremely thin.
"For this Seven-Colored Celestial Crane to carry him, it's not easy either..."
He sighed inwardly.
So fat, he had never seen the like in his life. For the Seven-Colored Celestial Crane to be able to carry him and fly around was quite remarkable.
"It's not that we're early, it's that you're late. Come down!"
Called a violent man, Luo Xuanqing was somewhat angry. He snorted, raised his palm again, and grabbed in the air.
The surrounding space immediately twisted again. The celestial crane in the sky seemed to crash into a wall, wobbling as if it might fall at any moment.
"Hey, your use of space is indeed formidable, but to hurt me, not so easy!"
The fat man chuckled lightly, didn't dodge, and suddenly stamped his foot, leaping off the crane's back.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
With his jump, his own weight plus inertia, his speed reached its peak in an instant, even surpassing the speed of sound.
Crack!
His bulky body slammed hard into the sealed space. Huge cracks appeared, and with a roar, the space shattered. Luo Xuanqing stepped back a few paces.
Boom!
The fat man landed on the ground, smashing a large pit.
