CHAPTER 23: CHAPTER 23: WHICH BASTARD HAS NO EYES

"What kind of ice attribute is this, so terrifying."

"Late Stage of Foundation Establishment suppressing Middle Stage of Fasting, such an against-the-heavens feat is unheard of."

"Junior Sister Cyan Spirit has lost; we have to admit Gu Chenfeng’s strength is formidable. If he breaks through the Fasting Stage, he might be invincible below the Golden Core."

Some of the senior disciples of Celestial Sound Valley showed fear and disbelief upon witnessing the terrifying ice attribute spiritual power of Gu Chenfeng.

No matter how strong the ice attribute power is, could someone at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment easily suppress someone at the Middle Stage of Fasting?

"How can it be like this... He didn’t even use his Sword Technique, he just relied on the ice attribute... He wasn’t even serious in fighting me." Cyan Spirit looked at the frozen Energy Slash, feeling somewhat hard to accept.

Gu Chenfeng is only at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.

The seemingly ordinary battle made everyone feel an overwhelming power.

Not only the people of Celestial Sound Valley but even Gu Chenfeng himself couldn’t believe that after merging with the Celestial Emperor’s Blood, his strength would become this formidable.

"Senior Sister Cyan Spirit, thank you for letting me win." Gu Chenfeng slightly cupped his fists, and the ice attribute spiritual power gradually dissipated.

The Energy Slash frozen in mid-air then shattered into countless ice pieces and dispersed.

Cyan Spirit’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, her jade fists clenched tightly, clearly unwilling, but her tightly clenched jade fists soon loosened.

Having exerted all her strength using the strongest Sword Technique, yet being easily suppressed by Gu Chenfeng, the outcome was already evident.

The fact was right in front of her, so Cyan Spirit had no choice but to accept it.

"I lost." Cyan Spirit said, then turned and left the martial arts arena.

Losing at the Middle Stage of Fasting to someone at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment was an utter disgrace, where else could Cyan Spirit stay?

The martial arts arena suddenly fell silent, all the disciples’ shocked gazes fixed on Gu Chenfeng.

Even though the challenge was over, they still couldn’t believe Cyan Spirit lost, it felt like dreaming.

The Valley Master of Celestial Sound Valley exclaimed: "With both ice attribute and Perfect Spirit Root in one, such a genius is truly enviable."

"Ultimately, I still didn’t get to see his mysterious power; this kid must be doing it on purpose, wait and see!" Ling Qiushui gritted her teeth angrily, glaring hard at Gu Chenfeng, wishing she could tear him apart.

Looking towards the Valley Master of Celestial Sound Valley, Ling Qiushui smiled triumphantly and said: "Valley Master, don’t forget my medicinal ingredients."

Upon seeing Ling Qiushui’s calculating demeanor, the Valley Master suddenly realized and laughingly scolded: "You little brat, daring to scheme against me, those old guys have spoiled you, watch how I teach you a lesson."

Ling Qiushui’s figure flickered and disappeared into thin air, appearing on a crane’s back in the blink of an eye.

"Remember to send disciples to deliver the medicinal ingredients to the Ancient Divine Sect, let’s go." Ling Qiushui happily rode the crane away.

"You just wait and see." The Valley Master scolded.

"Qiushui’s mischievousness hasn’t changed a bit." Several elders couldn’t help but laugh.

"Aunt Qiushui, we’re still here!" Yang Shan and Qian Yue were dumbfounded.

Ling Qiushui actually left them behind.

"Junior brother, quickly keep up." Lu Ming shouted, and they hurriedly chased after.

Gu Chenfeng and Yang Shan chased across several mountain peaks, almost losing half of their lives, before finally catching up with the long-waiting Ling Qiushui.

When Ling Qiushui saw Gu Chenfeng and the others, her eyes changed instantly, her pretty face covered with a layer of frost, looking like she wanted to eat someone.

Noticing Ling Qiushui’s terrifying stare, Yang Shan and Qian Yue’s hearts jumped in panic, not daring to breathe loudly, let alone look directly at Ling Qiushui.

The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing.

Ling Qiushui’s silhouette flashed to stand before Gu Chenfeng, about to explode in anger, but suddenly thought to herself: "Wait, I didn’t say he had to use the mysterious power; besides, it only appears when you’re angry."

Realizing this, Ling Qiushui’s face changed immediately, smiling happily: "Gu Chenfeng, well done, you haven’t brought shame upon the Divine Sect."

Seeing Ling Qiushui’s joyous smile, Yang Shan and Qian Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Qiushui turned her delicate jade hand, and a black scroll appeared out of nowhere, chuckling lightly: "This is our Divine Sect’s Spiritual Sword Technique, breaking the rules for you to cultivate."

With those words, Ling Qiushui generously handed over the scroll to Gu Chenfeng.

"Thank you, Aunt Qiushui." Gu Chenfeng cupped his fists in thanks, hurriedly accepting the scroll with both hands.

On the side, Qian Yue excitedly asked: "Aunt Qiushui, what about our rewards?"

"I have some low-grade Demon Cores here, enough for you to break through the Fasting Stage." Ling Qiushui chuckled lightly, then waved her hand, a delicate Storage Bag flew to Qian Yue.

"That’s great! Thank you, Aunt Qiushui!" Qian Yue and the others were overjoyed.

"Let’s go back to the sect." Ling Qiushui mounted the crane first, followed by Gu Chenfeng and the others.

High above the sky.

Ling Qiushui looked at Gu Chenfeng and said: "Gu Chenfeng, if you wish to avenge yourself, go and train with the sect disciples more often, it will greatly aid your cultivation."

"Don’t rely too much on elixirs, though they are good, they are just supplements, far less than solid cultivation. Cultivation with the help of elixirs cannot bring out true strength. You have a Perfect Spirit Root, do not waste it."

"Thank you, Aunt Qiushui, for your guidance." Gu Chenfeng cupped his fists in thanks.

Just then.

A colossal, illusory Energy Illusion suddenly appeared in front of the crane, the crane startled to an abrupt halt.

Due to inertia, Ling Qiushui and Gu Chenfeng were propelled forward.

It all happened so suddenly that Ling Qiushui and the others didn’t react in time.

Though Ling Qiushui was fine.

Gu Chenfeng and the others found themselves in free fall.

"Aunt Qiushui, save us!" Yang Shan and Qian Yue’s panic-stricken cries echoed.

"Which blind idiot dared such impudence? I’ll flay them alive!" Ling Qiushui furiously shouted, ready to charge up and fight.

Hearing Ling Qiushui’s furious shout, the Energy Illusion’s countenance changed abruptly, apologetically smiling: "Junior Sister, you’re okay? I’m really sorry, I..."

The Energy Illusion hadn’t finished speaking when Ling Qiushui, with a sullen face, launched a palm strike from a distance, a giant energy ice palm of dozens of feet fiercely smashed onto it.

"Boom!"

With a thunderous boom, the dreadful force shattered the Energy Illusion.

The Energy Illusion reformed, hurriedly saying: "Junior Sister, it’s me!"

"Boom!"

Ling Qiushui cast another ferocious palm strike, shattering the Energy Illusion once more.

"Junior Sister, stop! I was wrong." The Energy Illusion rushed to apologize.

"What was your mistake?" Ling Qiushui angrily demanded while launching another palm strike.

The Energy Illusion was shattered again.

"I think I did nothing wrong..." the Energy Illusion looked wronged.

Ling Qiushui was about to strike again when the Energy Illusion hastily said: "Wait, Sister! Senior Brother was wrong! I shouldn’t have appeared suddenly and startled you, Sister. My apologies."

"Hmph! That’s better!" Ling Qiushui finally withdrew her hand, unhappily asking, "Speak, what’s the matter?"

They seemed to have forgotten there were still people in free fall.
