War God Supreme

Chapter 7

“A genius that is a Tier Nine peak Warrior?”

Li Lingtian stopped in his tracks and his grin grew wider. Even at the brink of death, this bastard was still threatening them.

“Senior Brother Li, he’s unfortunately right. Lan Hai is a genius disciple who is ranked ninth in the outer sect; he’s a Tier Nine Peak Warrior. If Lan Luo dies here, we will not be able to escape unscathed.”

“That’s right, Lan Hai is a genius that’s ranked ninth in the outer sect, one of the few geniuses who are the most likely to become a Warrior Soul Powerhouse.”

Xue Da and Cheng Yun’s faces were serious. Although they were outer sect disciples, the competition between disciples in the outer sect was still far more intense than that of the peripheral disciples.

As for a Tier Nine peak Warrior expert, they did not have the guts to anger him. They looked over at Li Lingtian while they spoke.

“Hehe, you better come and treat my leg quickly. If I get mad, it’ll be a death sentence to all of you.”

Upon hearing Cheng Yun and Xue Da’s words, Lan Luo’s arrogant demeanor returned. As if he had forgotten that his leg was ripped off, he was back to his old cocky self.

“Yeah.”

Li Lingtian nodded as he walked back towards Lan Luo.

Xue Da and company looked at Li Lingtian in confusion, but since he had decided to save Lan Luo, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At least they would not have to be killed by Lan Hai when the time came.

Shangguan Linger frowned slightly. She might be afraid of Lan Hai, but this Lan Luo had almost killed her. If it was not for Li Lingtian, she would have become the Human-Devouring Beast’s food!

“In the future, follow me obediently! Be my slave and you might get some benefits out of it!”

Seeing that Li Lingtian was walking towards him, Lan Luo could not help but give him a look of despise. He steeled through the pain as he smirked evilly. If Li Lingtian did not push Shangguan Linger out of the way, the Human-Devouring Beast would not have injured him.

“Die!”

Li Lingtian raised a single hand before he used his Flaming Divine Fist and slammed it down at Lan Luo.

“BOOM!”

With a loud explosion, the ground was completely charred and a huge crater appeared on the ground. At that point, Lan Luo had already been slammed into oblivion.

Xue Da and the other two stared blankly at Li Lingtian. Li Lingtian did not walk over to save Lan Luo, but he went there to smite him instead! What were they supposed to do now? Since Li Lingtian had killed Lan Luo, Lan Hai would never forgive them now!

“Idiot.”

Li Lingtian pulled Lan Luo out of the crater. This person had long been dead by the hands of Li Lingtian’s Flaming Divine Fist and his entire body seemed like it had been charred.

After grabbing the storage sack, he turned around and walked over towards Xue Da and company.

“Killing Lan Luo is on me, this has nothing to do with you guys. Isn’t it only a Tier Nine Warrior?”

Li Lingtian looked at Xue Da as he said in a serious tone. A Tier Nine Warrior might be strong, but as long as he could increase his cultivation level quickly, there was no need to fear a mere Tier Nine Warrior.

“Count me in.”

“Count me in.”

“With all of us together, I doubt that Lan Hai can kill all of us at once. Besides, when we’re inside the sect, no one would attempt to kill us.”

Seeing that Li Lingtian had put all the responsibility on himself, Xue Da and Cheng Yun were stunned. For a young man who was barely fifteen years old, how could he have such guts? In fact, they were extremely impressed.

Shangguan Linger also stepped up. If it was not for Li Lingtian, she would have long been dead.

“We can talk about this more when the time comes. Let’s just kill a few more demonic beasts and head back. It’ll be bad if we don’t return by nightfall.”

Li Lingtian looked at the three of them with a sense of satisfaction before he changed the topic. Never would he have thought that he would meet three people like this in this dog-eat-dog world.

Following that, the four of them continued to kill demonic beasts as they made their way back towards the sect. Spending the night in the Sky Mountains was not a smart choice.

Li Lingtian did not do much at the start of this expedition, but since the Stormy Flare Beast, he was the one who had been killing the demonic beasts. No matter Level Five or Level Eight, all the demonic beasts that encountered them had met their doom within a single hit.

With that in mind, Xue Da and the others shook their heads. They could not help but feel a sense of adulation for this teen. He was calm, decisive, and did everything perfectly. He was nothing like the average fifteen-year-old brat, but rather, he felt more like an expert veteran that was dozens of years old.

“You guys can head back first, I’ll stay here for the night. I want to hunt more demonic beasts tomorrow before I head back.”

As soon as the sun started to set, Li Lingtian told his three friends. Immediately after, he pulled out the storage sack and started to divide the Inner Vital and materials. Within this day, the four had managed to obtain sixteen Inner Vitals each. Li Lingtian also took the Stormy Flare Beast’s Inner Vital, taking one extra than the other three.

As for the remaining materials, Xue Da would trade them for pills. When that was done, they would just divide the pills.

The three advised against Li Lingtian’s plan, asking him to follow them back and come back the next day instead. However, Li Lingtian stubbornly said that he wanted to stay and the three did not pursue further. With that, they quickly left the mountains, heading towards the direction of the sect.

As night fell, Li Lingtian found himself a nice hollow tree to take refuge for the night. The trees within the Sky Mountains were several thousands of feet tall and every single one of them could “house” several people.

With a single person inside, it was almost as if he had entered a sea of vastness. In a mountain range dominated by countless demonic beasts, finding a safe place was an absolute necessity.

After Xue Da and the others had left, he continued to kill off six more Level Six demonic beasts. In his mind, he was feeling quite satisfied with his Flaming Divine Fist.

Inside the hollow tree, he opened up Lan Luo’s storage sack to see if there were any goodies inside.

There were twenty mediocre spiritual stones, a tablet, a jade bottle, and also a tome for a moderate Amber Tier motion skill.

Seeing these items, Li Lingtian did not hesitate to take all the spiritual stones and tossed them into his storage sack. As for the tablet, it was just the paizi

that the outer sect disciples had.

“Three Vitality Pills, not bad.”

Looking at the three pills inside the Jade Bottle, Li Lingtian was smiling from ear to ear. After all, Vitality Pills were pills needed by the Sky Cloud Sect disciples.

After conversion, every one of these pills would give one True Qi that was equivalent to five days of harsh training.

For an average inner sect disciple, they could probably obtain one Vitality Pill every month. Yet for a Tier Seven disciple like Lan Luo, the ability to save up to three Vitality Pills was quite the feat.

As for the moderate Amber Level motion skill, Li Lingtian simply looked at it before he started to learn it.

However, it was only a moderate Amber Level skill. Based on his knowledge from the twenty-first century and the combined experience of his two souls, he could figure out most of the mysterious techniques of this world with a single glance.

His mind’s clarity and processing power was something that no Warrior in this world could ever mimic.

[Moderate Amber Level: Breeze Technique]

[Increases movement speed. When training comes to fruition, one can move at miraculous speeds, as if they were moving like a breeze.]

After a short moment, he had managed to learn this motion technique. Since it was merely a moderate Amber Level skill, he could understand it in twenty minutes.

“Whoosh.”

His body disappeared as he lunged downwards. Then, as he circulated his True Qi, he unleashed the Breeze Technique which caused his body to speed through the woods, weaving and zipping past the countless huge trees.

In the pitch-black forest, the dense tree branches had completely blocked out the sky. It prevented any moonlight or starlight from entering the forest, so only a semblance of a pale white silhouette could be seen zooming through the woods.

“As expected, the Breeze Technique isn’t that simple. It makes the body move as if it was a breeze. Once I have managed to train it to fruition, it would probably allow me to move around without a trace.”

Li Lingtian suddenly stopped in his tracks as a smile formed on his face. In a flash, he zoomed back towards the hollow tree he found as his body once again disappeared.

“I’ve broken through to become a Tier Four Warrior!”

Inside the hollow tree, Li Lingtian ingested a Vitality Pill. Instantly, the True Qi in his body swelled up, rapidly reaching the peak of a Tier Three Warrior.

In the end, he had also used his Flaming True Qi directly to absorb the Stormy Flare Beast’s Inner Vital. Directly absorbing a Level Eight beast’s Inner Vital could be dangerous, but after Li Lingtian had been through the grueling training at the Bottomless Flaming Abyss and the Immemorial Ice Crystal, he was no longer afraid of this Level Eight Inner Vital.

The Level Eight Stormy Flare Beast’s Inner Vital was as strong as he had imagined. Beads of sweat started to roll down Li Lingtian’s forehead, nearly drenching his entire face as it turned pale white.

Finally, he had managed to break through the Tier Three peak as a Warrior and successfully became a Tier Four Warrior. As True Qi was pumped throughout his body, the immense strength he wielded made him immeasurably excited.

“I can finally train more.”

After breaking through, he was filled with confidence. Although it was rather dangerous to be in the mountain range at night, the spiritual energy concentration here was at its peak from night to dawn, which was the true reason he wanted to stay behind.

As spiritual Qi enveloped Li Lingtian, he took a deep breath with his nose and absorbed the pure spiritual Qi into his body. His Heaven and Earth Reincarnation Technique circulated the energy rapidly before converting the spiritual Qi into True Qi.

As time passed, second by second, the growling of the demonic beasts deep within the woods became increasingly louder. It was almost as if he had entered a monster’s den.

Suddenly, Li Lingtian heard something. He quickly absorbed the spiritual energy around him before he started to suppress his own vigor.

“Crack!”

“Tch, tch, tch…”

As the soft sound entered Li Lingtian’s ears, based on his potent Divine Mindfulness, he knew that this sound came from within a thousand feet radius away from him. Yet, he also knew that this was not a sound made by a demonic beast.

This was obviously the footsteps of a human Warrior, one that had quite a high cultivation level. It was almost as if it was the motion skill he had seen on television in his past life, where martial artists walked through snow without leaving any traces. Instead, this person was speeding through the woods almost as naturally as a leopard cat.

“It’s an injured powerhouse!”

Li Lingtian thought to himself as he quickly suppressed his Divine Mindfulness. If more of his Divine Mindfulness leaked out, he would definitely be discovered by the other party. In the middle of a mountain range like this, it was a perfect place to commit a murder.

“Pffttt…”

Yang Chongxiao hacked out some blood as he steadied himself on a tree before he slowly sat down.

After all that hard work to get an amazing treasure, he had been discovered and was now pursued. His luck could not be any worse. At this point, as long as he could reach the sect, he would be safe.

“Rustle, rustle.”

“Whoosh, whoosh.”

As the sounds of men zooming through the air broke the silence, a group of people flew straight towards him. In fact, there were around seven or eight people within the said group.

Li Lingtian realized that the injured Warrior was resting right underneath the tree that he had chosen. Feeling extremely troubled by that fact, he did not dare to move an inch because even the slightest movement right now could lead to his demise.

“Yang Chongxiao, hand over the Ice and Fire Ring! Maybe then, we’ll spare your corpse.”

With some sort of instantaneous technique, the seven Warriors in black appeared at about sixty feet in front of Yang Chongxiao. They had surrounded him completely, in case he tried to escape.

“Hmph! Bai Yunhe, don’t you feel any shame? I was the one who found this Ice and Fire Ring! Besides, you’re only a Tier One Warrior Spirit and I’m a Tier Three Warrior Spirit, do you think you stand a chance?”

Yang Chongxiao glared coldly at the man in black who was leading the pack. Yang Chongxiao was a Tier Three Warrior Spirit whereas his opponent was only a Tier One Warrior Spirit, even though there were six other Tier Seven and Tier Eight Warrior Powerhouses on the opponent’s side.

“Yang Chongxiao, while it’s true that you were the one who found the Ice and Fire ring, but

Treasures like this belong to the strong. You, a Tier Three Warrior Spirit, have massacred nine of our Rosy Cloud Set Warrior disciples, but it looks like you have also suffered quite a few injuries along the way as well, heh.”

Looking at Yang Chongxiao who was leaning against the tree, Bai Yunhe mocked coldly. In order to get their hands on this treasure, they had sacrificed quite a few of their sect’s genius disciples to stall out Yang Chongxiao.

Once a Warrior had their hands on that treasure, their potential would increase exponentially. What were a few sect disciples’ lives worth in exchange for that?

“If you want this treasure, then take it!”

Seeing this group in front of him, Yang Chongxiao felt that there was no way he could escape from this today. If it was any other day, a Tier One Warrior Spirit would be nothing to him, but not in his current predicament.

Reaching one hand out, a palm-sized light ring appeared in his hand. The light ring glowed red and blue as it was enveloped with a concentrated mixture of Ice and Fire Path Qi.

Chilly Qi and Flaming Qi started to gather within a hundred-feet radius of the ring. As the two types of Qi mixed, it gave off a weird sort of Qi that felt like death to everyone in the area.

“Ice and Fire Ring! Haha!”

As Yang Chongxiao pulled out the Ice and Fire Ring, Bai Yunhe’s face lit up with avarice. This treasure was, at the very least, a piece of top-grade spiritual equipment. Now, the lives of those disciples he had sacrificed would not be in vain.

However, Yang Chongxiao’s next move left everyone shocked. At the same time, it scared Li Lingtian, who was hiding above in the hollow tree as this was all happening, to death!

Yang Chongxiao kept the Ice and Fire Ring away before he tossed the entire storage sack into the air and straight into the opening of the hollow tree that Li Lingtian was hiding in.

All seven of the Warriors in black stared straight at the storage bag, especially since the Ice and Fire Ring was still inside it.
