163 Equal to the Mystic Heaven Realm with the Power of the Heaven Capture Realm
“City Lord, the man behind Wei Qingsi is called Lin Xuanzhen. He’s the tenth successive disciple of the Shangqing Sword Palace. He started cultivating at the age of three and reached perfection in the Heaven Capture realm in just 22 years. His name is known throughout the Green Heaven Region. At the same time, Lin Xuanzhen is ranked 98th on the Great World of Divine Desolation’s Prodigy Ranking. Other than that, the family he belongs to is powerful. It has been around for more than five thousand years and has quite a foundation.”
Yin Siming’s calm voice sounded.
The Great World of Divine Desolation’s Prodigy Ranking?
Lin Wudao’s heart skipped a beat as he took another glance at Lin Xuanzhen.
“This Great World of Divine Desolation’s Prodigy Ranking should list out the most outstanding prodigies from the twelve major regions of the Great World of Divine Desolation, right?”
“Yes. The Great World of Divine Desolation’s Prodigy Ranking is produced by the Human World Tower. A total of 108 people are selected, all the most outstanding living beings in the Great World of Divine Desolation. Anyone on the rankings has heaven-chosen talent. Although Lin Xuanzhen is only ranked 98th, it’s already extremely rare. In the Shangqing Sword Palace, he is the only candidate,” Yin Siming continued.
“Then who’s in the first place?”
“City Lord, you definitely wouldn’t have thought that the first place on the Great World of Divine Desolation’s Prodigy Ranking is from Jiuzhou.”
Someone from Jiuzhou?
Lin Wudao’s eyes flashed with surprise.
“Who is it?”
“The Eldest Princess of the Xia Dynasty, Yan Huihuang.”
Yan Huihuang?
Lin Wudao seemed to have heard of this name somewhere.
“Yan Huihuang, the number one prodigy of the Great World of Divine Desolation. According to rumors, she has the potential to become a Sage. She has also arrived at the Heishui Ancient City to participate in this time’s Path to Heaven.”
The potential to become a Sage, huh?
Lin Wudao smiled lightly as a hint of interest appeared in his eyes. He wanted to meet such a character.
…
On the Shangqing Sword Palace’s spiritual boat, Lin Xuanzhen quietly arrived behind Wei Qingsi.
“Junior sister, what are you looking at? I can see the killing intent in your eyes. Moreover, I heard you mention before that you seem to have an irreconcilable enemy in Jiuzhou. Could it be that he is also here?”
As he spoke, he discreetly looked at where Lin Wudao was.
“Yes. I was previously injured by a person called Lin Wudao. I was lucky enough to have preserved my life. Now, that person is also here.”
“Is it that person?”
Lin Xuanzhen pointed at Lin Wudao.
Hearing this, Wei Qingsi nodded gently.
“Don’t worry, junior sister. I will uphold justice for you this time.”
“This… How dare I trouble senior brother?”
“Since you call me senior brother, I naturally cannot watch you being bullied. Someone.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a cold aura walked out of the spiritual boat and came before Lin Xuanzhen respectfully.
“Young Master, what can I do for you?”
“Lin Jiu, take my Shangqing Sword Talisman and test that person’s strength and background. If possible, kill him and bring his head to me.”
Lin Xuanzhen pointed at Lin Wudao.
After saying that, he also handed over an ancient green sword talisman that contained a full-power attack from a peak Mystic Heaven realm expert.
“Yes, sir.”
Upon hearing the order, Lin Jiu did not hesitate. He immediately took out a bronze halberd that was a level 8 ancient spiritual weapon and charged at Lin Wudao aggressively.
…
“City Lord, be careful!”
In the distance, Lin Wudao was chatting with Yin Siming and Li Heishui when suddenly, Li Qingcheng exclaimed.
An unusually ferocious figure holding a bronze halberd was charging over.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Lin Wudao.
“City Lord!”
Li Heishui was shocked. He could feel the endless terror from Lin Jiu, and in an instant, his expression turned extremely grave.
Compared to him, Lin Wudao was as calm as ever. His expression did not change at all.
Boom!
Just as Lin Jiu was about to reach Lin Wudao, a shocking sword energy tore through the air and slashed out with a monstrous and ferocious aura.
“Ah!”
With a dull collision, Lin Jiu was sent flying. He only managed to stabilize his body after he flew a thousand feet away.
It was Li Zangtian who had made a move!
What? He was so strong?
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
Li Heishui and Li Qingcheng widened their eyes in shock when they saw the terrifying combat strength displayed by Li Zangtian.
Li Zangtian’s aura was extremely deep and reserved.
Originally, to their knowledge, Li Zangtian was at most in the Heavenly Cycle realm. Who would have thought that he would be able to defeat a ferocious person like Lin Jiu with a single strike?
“This is at least the cultivation at the perfection stage in the Heaven Capture realm,” Li Qingcheng whispered.
Hearing this, Li Heishui’s heart trembled slightly and he did not say anything else.
…
On the spiritual boat, Lin Xuanzhen and Wei Qingsi frowned at the same time.
“This person actually has such strength? Lin Jiu is about to break through to the Mystic Heaven realm. His battle prowess is much stronger than a cultivator who is at the perfection stage of the Heaven Capture realm. But now, he was forced back by that person’s sword? They are both in the Heaven Capture realm, so why is there such a huge difference?”
Lin Xuanzhen narrowed his eyes. He could feel that Li Zangtian was extraordinary. Yet, with his knowledge and ability, he was unable to see through the other party’s background.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuanzhen could not help but look at the two elders behind him.
“Elder Yan, is that person also in the Heaven Capture realm?”
“Yes.”
One of the green-robed elders nodded slightly.
“That person should be Lin Wudao’s servant. His cultivation has yet to reach the Mystic Heaven realm. Otherwise, Lin Jiu would have died from that sword strike. Thus, he is at most at the perfection stage of the Heaven Capture realm. However, in terms of talent and foundation, that person is stronger than Lin Jiu,” Yan Zhenshan said in a deep voice.
Lin Xuanzhen’s frown grew deeper when he heard that.
“Elder, in that case… Lin Jiu will lose?”
“Yes! He will be suppressed in at most three breaths.”
Three breaths?
Lin Xuanzhen found it unbelievable.
Wasn’t this gap too big?
Boom!
Just as he was secretly shocked, a loud bang suddenly came from afar, accompanied by a painful scream.
He looked up only to see that Li Zangtian had slashed out three times in a row. The first two waves of sword energy were blocked by Lin Jiu with all his might, but the third wave of sword energy cut off his left arm.
He flew backward.
“This person’s battle prowess is comparable to an ordinary early-stage Mystic Heaven realm cultivator.”
Lin Xuanzhen clenched his fists, his eyes filled with shock.
He had always thought of himself as a peerless genius, having cultivated for 22 years and already reached the peak of the Heaven Capture realm. However, even if he used all his methods, he could only slightly resist the attack of a Mystic Heaven realm expert.
He couldn’t suppress an attack of that realm.
After all, the difference between the Heaven Capture realm and the Mystic Heaven realm was too great.
What he could not believe was that a servant beside Lin Wudao had such terrifying combat strength.
“This Lin Wudao is not simple,” He thought to himself.
If the servant next to him had such shocking combat strength, how could Lin Wudao, the master, be inferior?
“What realm has his strength reached? The Heaven Capture realm? Or the higher Mystic Heaven realm?”
This was the first time Lin Xuanzhen doubted himself.
Li Zangtian was no weaker than him in the same realm. If Lin Wudao was stronger than Li Zangtian, did that not mean that the former’s cultivation and ability were above his?
The more he thought about it, the uglier Lin Xuanzhen’s expression turned.
Rumble!
Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, Lin Jiu, who was forced into a corner, crushed the Shangqing Sword Talisman at the last moment.
In an instant, a terrifying green sword energy soared into the sky and slashed Li Zangtian’s body with lightning speed.
“A peak Mystic Heaven realm attack. No matter how powerful that Heaven Capture realm powerhouse is, he will still die…”
Lin Xuanzhen smiled smugly.
Immediately after, his smile froze on his face.
Because although Li Zangtian was sent flying by the attack of the Shangqing Sword Talisman, he quickly stood up again without any signs of injury on his body.
“This… How is that possible?” Lin Xuanzhen’s pupils constricted.
Even Yan Zhenshan, who was behind him, was shocked.
“This person has such a powerful physical body!”
At this moment, he was even more curious about Lin Wudao.
Boom!
Just as they were focusing all their attention on Li Zangtian, a strange figure suddenly walked out of the void silently.
Then, he raised his hand and struck out, shattering the spiritual boat of the Shangqing Sword Palace.
“What happened?”
“Who is it?”
The change came too suddenly. Even Yan Zhenshan and the others were not mentally prepared.
They could not believe that someone would dare to attack the Shangqing Sword Palace.
When they came back to their senses, it was already too late.
It was Lin Wudao’s doppelganger who did the deed.
“Who dares to provoke the Shangqing Sword Palace?” Lin Xuanzhen roared angrily.
He had left the broken spiritual boat in time. His cold gaze swept across the void and he immediately looked in the direction of Lin Wudao.
“Eh, where is he?”
Since he did not see Lin Wudao, he immediately searched around.
Boom!
Just as he turned around, an ancient black bell suddenly cut through the void and landed on his body with a majestic force.
“Ah!” Lin Xuanzhen let out a shrill scream and fell from the sky, spitting out blood.
At the same time, a cold figure appeared behind him and grabbed his neck.
