The atmosphere outside the secret realm was already extremely tenseâanyone with eyes could see the surging dark clouds gathering over the mountain gate. The elder members of the Moon Hua Sect with deep experience knew this was the unmistakable sign of the Dual Moon Ancestor's rage.
Ling Shuo circulated his inner force, barreling through clusters of gossiping Moon Hua disciples like an arrow loosed from a bow, racing at full speed toward the sect gate.
He couldn't receive Ying Lingling's transmissions anymore, but as her bonded spirit beast companion, he could still sense her chaotic immortal energyâshe was merely locked in fierce combat.
While running, the young master rifled through his storage ring for anything that could save his life or aid escape. Survival was paramount right now; against a monster like the Dual Moon Ancestor, even Frost Thousand Sword might not fully wound him.
The closer he got to those ominous clouds, the stronger his sense of impending death. Sixth Realmâeven in Ling Jue Sect, that was elder-level power; crushing him would be effortless.
"Heyâyou! Which elder's disciple are you? Daring to charge through here!" Ling Shuo had reached the boundary between inner and outer sect when another gate-guarding disciple rushed to block him.
"Out of my way!"
Cold light flashed in Ling Shuo's eyes; he elbowed the obstructing disciple unconscious. But in that single instant of delay, something plummeted from the sky!
The girl fell like a meteorâcrashing a hole through a nearby palace roofâthen continued unchecked, smashing straight toward Ling Shuo!
"It's Lingling!"
Ling Shuo reacted instantly, catching her with his body. The pair tumbled from the inner hall entrance all the way into the main hallâuprooting countless floor tiles.
*Cough! Cough cough!* No time to savor the soft fragrance in his armsâthe golden-haired dragon girl spat a mouthful of blood onto Ling Shuo's hand.
"You pervert... you came." Seeing who caught her, Ying Lingling's pallid face regained some color. Though trying to maintain a trace of tsundere, the relief in her eyes at seeing her beloved in this moment was impossible to hide.
"Mm... Lingling."
Ling Shuo had never felt such heartache. He gently wiped the blood from her red lipsâcold fury deepening in his gaze.
Not just coveting this young master's womenâbut daring injure Lingling. Dual Moon old dogâthis young master will have your life!
*Cough...* "That old skeleton... is pretty strong." With the man's support, Ying Lingling stoodâslowly stabilizing her inner force.
"Carefulâhe's here!"
At the dragon girl's shout, every hair on Ling Shuo's body stood on end.
Sure enoughâthe dark clouds already shrouded overhead. A withered, skeletal figure descended from the skyâdao robes whipping fiercely in the windâslowly landing atop the palace roof Ying Lingling had damaged.
Nerves screamed in painâif not for Dragon Yang Constitution, merely the pressure wind from this inner force could have injured Ling Shuo.
"Ancestor! It's him!!"
At that moment, another familiar face entered from outsideâthe blue-haired playboy princeling dragging the bound-handed, gagged Xi Yan. Spotting Ling Shuo, Luo Ba immediately bellowed!
"It's him who hijacked that lewd rabbit's carriage! And robbed the Western beauty I meant to offer you at the auction house! Everythingâthis fox-masked bastard's doing!"
Ling Shuo exhaledâlooks like new and old grudges settled today.
The air stilled; the skeletal figure remained motionless.
"...Third Realm?"
Finally, the ancestor spokeâvoice chillingly vicious.
"Who sent an ant like you to die?"
Each syllable gritted through teethâlike brewing infinite fury.
Third Realm? All his meticulous plottingâtricked by a mere Third Realm loose cultivator?
"This young master acts aloneâMadam Xiao already freed."
"Want her? Step over this young master's corpse."
Ling Shuo drew a longsword from storageâcoldly pointing at the elder above.
"But truth be toldâMadam Xiao just mated with this young master. Tsk tskâthe fairy pussy you've craved so long? This young master's cock below enjoyed hundreds of thrustsâfucking Fairy Xiao until she cried 'husband'."
"Ohâand her yin essence? This young master fully enjoyed. Old impotentâyou can practice that immortal body in your next life."
The young master stood legs spread, provocatively tauntingâwhile calmly scanning surroundings for any surprise advantage.
"...Good... Good... Hahaha! Hahahahaha!!"
The old man laughed in extreme rageâtrue or not, Ling Shuo had thoroughly provoked him.
"This old man originally planned a quick deathâbut now? Castrate you into a eunuch firstâthen skin you to feed dogs."
He flipped his palmâa massive bronze mirror rising; transforming into a heaven-blocking blood moonâsealing this area from outside.
This way, Moon Chan Fairy's faction disciples and elders wouldn't know what truly happened. At this point, the Dual Moon Ancestor decided to trap Xi Yan in the realm tooâusing her to threaten Xi Chan into submission.
"Woo! Woo woo woo!" Hands bound behind, mouth gaggedâXi Yan struggled desperately; unwilling to watch her junior harmed.
"HeheheheâAncestor right! Killing him too easy. Those Western mother-daughter flowersâhe might still have hidden. When foundâyou and I one eachâsee this trash's face hahahaha!!"
Luo Ba laughed arrogantly; Ling Shuo's gaze turned piercingly cold. No mercy left nowâeven blasting Moon Hua Sect in half with sect treasuresâhe'd never spare these two scum!
Eliza, Linda, Rou Rou, Mother, Ji Lian, Qian'er... These lovers were Ling Shuo's reverse scales. Luo Ba and Dual Moon Ancestor repeatedly threatening his womenâLing Shuo would repay a hundredfold!
"Hmph! Insolent juniorsâdaring resist!"
The Dual Moon Ancestor sensed Ling Shuo preparing somethingâimmediately pressing his wrist. The heavenly moon spunâsuddenly Ling Shuo felt怩ć°éą ć; meridians reversing. His sure-strike sword veeredâmerely grazing the ancestor's waist.
Ying Lingling similarlyâher full-power white jade sword easily parried. Only battle-hardened Yuyi reactedâmidair twisting her downward slash into spinning cut; side-angle chopping ancestor's neck!
"It's working!" Ling Shuo's heart leaped to his throat. Yuyi was a rare humanoid immortal beastâstrength far surpassing same-realm cultivators. This slashâeven Sixth Realm would suffer heavily!
"Heh!"
The old man's white beard whipped wildly. He pinched a seal with downward palmâgiant moon erupting terrifying blood light. Instantly inner force overflowedâshredding his upper dao robes!
"Ah!!" Ling Shuo and Ying Lingling blasted away. Highest-realm among trioâYuyi lost stance; full of openings.
"Yuyi!"
Heels screeching deep grooves in tilesâYing Lingling manifested dragon tail for balance; regaining center mid-flight. Then palms togetherâgolden slit pupils; horns atop head. Golden scales covering forehead and sideburns.
"Heavenly Brilliance Manifest!"
Ying Lingling slammed palms to groundâinstant golden beam descending from skyâdirectly atop Dual Moon Ancestor!
"Dragon clan immortal art."
The Dual Moon Ancestor raised a browâabandoning Yuyi pursuit; palms upholding skyâforming barrier.
*Boom!*
The old monster tanked the strike solidlyâbarrier cracking but unharmed.
"It's not over!"
Ling Shuo stoodâhurling one sword while drawing backup from storage; spinning to hurl at Dual Moon Ancestor again.
"Heavenly Fox Sword Art! Peach Shadow Fall!"
The two swords suddenly aliveâtrajectories defying physics; drifting unpredictably like falling cherry petals.
"Pitiful juniorsâusing woman's tricks."
The old monster laughed arrogantlyâpinching seal; halting both swords before him.
*Cough!* Post-immortal artâYing Lingling's slit pupils reverted; she spat bloodâkneeling one knee temporarily drained.
From trio blasted to this sequenceâmere two-three breaths. Yet against Sixth Realm chasmâpowerless.
But fate undecided!
"Sister Yuyi!" Ling Shuo shouted to the mature sisterâtheir final hope!
"Mm?" Dual Moon Ancestor realizedâthe azure-haired woman still hadn't landed.
"Die!"
Yuyi kicked one incoming flying swordâborrowing force to readjust stance; spinning bodyâhurling sword at even trickier angle!
"Futile!"
The elder waved robesâdeflecting one sword; the other grazing his left cheekâleaving a bloody trail!
