Chapter 76 Stingy People

nWu Long went outside the sect into the Spiritual Land again for a few days, as he did not get to explore it very far the last time. He took another low-level mission in the Mission Hall, this time not bothering with the Armoury Hall since his equipment was full and better.

nHe picked a different direction from the last time and speeded off.

nHis speed was now incomparable to last time, and he also could use movement techniques with the Qi Manipulation Rings.

nBut he slowed down as he noticed that there were 6 presences following him. He eventually stopped at a clearing, as they caught up and showed up only after encircling the clearing.

nThey were all wearing disguises with masks and unmarked robes, but Wu Long knew that they followed him from the inside of the sect, and judging from their 1-3rd level Revolving Qi Realm cultivation bases, were elders of the Yin Yang Unity Palace.

nHe did not bother talking to them, as his brand new ‘inherited’ Guandao spear appeared in his hand, him calmly standing while it was diagonally pointing to the ground in a comfortable position.

n“Heh, arrogant brat”

n“Less talking, the Gra… the orders are clear”

n“Hahah, who’s talking unnecessarily now?”

nThey exchanged small talk while looking at him, their weapons raised.

n*pam!*

nOne of them stepped forward with a powerful step that raised the ground around him, shooting himself at the position Wu Long was in with his sword raised.

n*pam!pam!pam!pam!pam!*

nThe other five followed in quick succession. There were only one heavy blade user and one spear user among them, the rest being with swords.

nWu Long took a single step backward and to the side and their formation crumbled as the angles they shot themselves at him were calculated to not mutually hinder each other, while he stepped in a precise direction to make it all collapse on itself.

nHis step also coincided with a twist and step, as he shot toward the heavy blade user whose blade was behind him as he approached Wu Long with the intention of a heavy swing, being the last in the succession of attackers to move, thus supposedly gaining their cover to unleash such a strike that left him vulnerable.

nAs Wu Long turned into a slightly blurry extremely fast figure and he was approaching him, the speed at which they came face to face was almost instant, while others arrived at the spot Wu Long was previously at and scrambled to chase.

nWu Long made a single swing of the already raised Guandao, while the attacker’s blade was only halfway as he belatedly tried to make the swing faster. Thus, the head of the heavy blade user with a panicked expression went up into the air, while Wu Long continued the circular motion while making a step slightly to the side, making a powerful strike at the sword of the closest chasing attacker.

nThe heavy blade the other swung was carried by inertia and collided with a hurriedly raised sword of another pursuer who was almost directly behind Wu Long. He grunted as the force of the heavy blade sent him flying away in the opposite direction he was moving, cracking his wrist bones at the same time.

nWu Long’s Guandao, meanwhile, landed slightly at an angle at the sword that was in a piercing motion, sending it down to the ground, but at the moment of impact, the Guandao itself used the rebounding force and with a sliding trick at the moment of contact with the sword, twisted and went up to the rapidly approaching face of the sword wielder, as he was carried forward by the force exerted on the sword he was holding.

nWhile a second head found its way of ascension the Guandao continued its trajectory in Wu Long’s arms, with its pole blocking and brushing to the side a sword that was vertically slashing from above to the side of the recently ascended man. This put the blunt spear butt of the Guandao basically in that attacker’s face, which was then mercilessly caved in by a thrust that almost made it through the other side of the head.

nWu Long’s hands skillfully danced on the pole of his Guandao, allowing his motions to switch fluently without any unnatural movements as he took back the Guandao and stepped forward.

nThe space his head was in before was pierced by the spear blade, which Wu Long then struck with his Guandao in a circular motion from below as it spun in his hands while he turned, sending the spear blade high up into the air while Wu Long closed in the distance and struck the spear wielder with a palm in the neck. His palm was covered in Spiritual Qi.

nThe man’s skin on his neck flashed red as the muscles inside were torn by a strange soft force that erupted with explosive effect as it traveled inside.

nMeanwhile, the Guandao’s blade in Wu Long’s other hand struck another sword that swung at him horizontally. The sword did not manage to even enter the striking distance, as Wu Long used the Guandao’s range to his advantage.

nSword Qi came from the distance as the man flung away by the heavy blade recovered only to notice that these split moments were enough for three of them being dead and another one was on the verge, holding his neck while struggling to breathe. He could now freely use Sword Qi since there were no allies he could accidentally hit.

nWu Long evaded the Sword Qi as his Guandao spun in his hands again, and then traveled in an arc to the attacker he blocked before.

nHe managed to block with his sword, but the brutal force made his posture crumble, while Wu Long’s Guandao made a light detour using the rebound force, and helping this man’s head also find ascension while he evaded yet another Sword Qi from the last living attacker who was already running, while sending Sword Qi behind him in a frenzy of slashing his sword.

nWu Long simply took a step in a direction slightly to the side of the running man, and turned into a blurred figure, chasing and overtaking him in mere moments.

nAs he was already injured and panicked Wu Long easily made his body much lighter in weight by removing the useless thing above the neck, since it clearly did not help him make good decisions.

nAs he looked around, Wu Long simply shrugged his shoulders and collected their spatial rings while being annoyed by how stingy they were with the ‘inheritance’, as there was barely anything of value in there, and left leaving the prepared and served feast to the demonic beasts that will be attracted by the scent of blood.

n‘Hmm, the sect’s not going to like it…’

nHe thought to himself as he was moving away.

nFor such a small sect, six elders was a huge loss, which made it basically too expensive for whoever sent them to try again, at least with sect forces.

nAs he traveled the next two days he picked some passable medicinal ingredients and slayed some demonic beasts for their cores and neidans. Though he only picked 3rd tier beasts since any lower was already quite useless to him, and thus there were not that many in the vicinity of the sect.

nAs he traveled deep into the spiritual land he gradually found higher-level demonic beasts and finally met a 6th-tier demonic beast, making a decent profit for this trip at last by taking its core.

nAs it was an agile beast of leopard-type, its hide was not so tough, so Wu Long’s attack just needed to connect, which was quite simple for him. .

nSo his 3-day trip went quite well.

nOnce he was back in the sect he went to the cave Hua Ziyan reserved, since she allowed him to use it as he pleases, and cultivated all the demonic cores he collected with Golden Yang Dragon Body.

nDemonic cores and neidans were most useful to his body tempering and this technique, and they were exactly what he was searching for in the wilderness this time.

nSince now he could raise his cultivation base by dual cultivating, his body tempering with the Golden Yang Dragon Body as well as improvements to his Yang Root and Yang Qi started to lag a bit behind, which was what prompted him to make this small trip.

nWhen he finished, he invited Hua Ziyan for another cultivation session, to which she immediately agreed.

nShe arrived in the stone chamber as Wu Long was coming out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist since he had just cultivated Golden Yang Dragon Body and had to freshen up.

nWhen she saw his handsome appearance with slightly wet hair her body heat started going up and her throat had a tingling sensation. She also felt some numbness in her lower spine.

nShe operated the array to close the cave without shifting her gaze from him, and as the security formations activated came a little closer to him but stopped slightly in the distance, at the center of the room.

nHer hands went up to her robes, and she slowly and sensually started removing them. One part after another, eventually revealing her ample and seductive forms wrapped in a short semi-transparent to a degree of being almost see-through negligee and lower underwear that was thinner than usual almost being straps except for the part that covered the groin.

nWhen she saw his gaze, she slightly blushed.

n“Senior apprentice sister Ye Ling said you might like this…”

nShe said, as she was still a little worried after the last time and went to Ye Ling for advice.

nWu Long smiled charmingly and nodded at her, beckoning her closer with his hand.
