Chapter 963 - 961: Encountering a Stranger
At this moment, Chen Tianlong was holding Lu Xiaoyu, and Shen Yan was holding a small dog. The two leaped up together and burst out.
Earlier, Chen Tianlong had observed that it seemed to be the top of the cave above them, and it wasn’t very thick. Moreover, he seemed to have heard footsteps just now.
Even with Chen Tianlong’s strong perception, otherwise he wouldn’t have heard Murong Fa running, and naturally wouldn’t have put in the effort to burst out.
Chen Tianlong had just reached Celestial Dao One Star, and used his Flaming Dragon-Subduing Fist’s fifth form to directly break through the top of the cave.
The three of them burst out of the cave and stood on the edge, looking at the sunken cave with lingering fear. Fortunately, the mountain top was very thin, otherwise they would have been buried.
"Phew... Tianlong, we finally made it out. Haha." Lu Xiaoyu could see the snow-bright sky. Although it was still snowing, it didn’t matter anymore.
Just as Lu Xiaoyu finished speaking, a strange voice came from not far away.
"Who are you people, and how did you appear in the Land of Extreme Cold of Ice Spirit Sword Manor?" Murong Fa shouted, because at this moment Chen Tianlong and the others had their backs to him.
The main thing was, Murong Fa never expected that there would be such a group of people appearing here at this moment. Not only did they show up here, but they also destroyed his best cultivation place.
Although he had reached this level, and could still progress slowly without the Land of Extreme Cold, it would just take a long time.
Hearing the voice, the three of them were stunned.
"Who are you people? How did you end up here?"
Murong Fa repeated his question and slowly walked over. After all, he was now a Yellow Dao Seven Star, and these people seemed like ordinary cultivators to him, nothing to be afraid of.
Looking at Murong Fa’s brazen appearance, Chen Tianlong guessed it. But since Murong Fa wanted to show off, let him have at it.
Chen Tianlong, with the two girls, slowly walked towards Murong Fa.
In no time, they stood face to face, and Murong Fa let out a faint sneer. This was his turf, and the two girls beside the man looked good. If he could capture them for some fun, wouldn’t that be great?
Thinking of this, Murong Fa became somewhat arrogant.
"Kid, are you here to die?" Murong Fa said, revealing his full Yellow Dao Seven Star strength.
Chen Tianlong frowned, showing a hint of surprise. After all, it really surprised him to encounter such a master. If he hadn’t broken through in the cave earlier, he would surely be overpowered.
Moreover, seeing Shen Yan’s upgrade speed last night, he really couldn’t believe that upgrading could be so simple.
"Don’t curse at me. I’m just here for sightseeing and accidentally got lost," Chen Tianlong said casually.
"Haha, sightseeing? Coming to the Ice Spirit Sword Manor in this weather, I really see it for the first time. If you’re making up an excuse, make up a better one, alright?"
Evidently, Murong Fa didn’t believe Chen Tianlong’s nonsense. He was sure they were there to conduct important business.
His previous cultivation place was the Land of Extreme Cold, and since Chen Tianlong and his group could emerge unscathed, they were indeed extraordinary. As for how they managed it, Murong Fa didn’t care much.
"Oh, believe it or not, I don’t want to talk much with you. I’ll first go down the mountain to find something to eat. Bye." Chen Tianlong felt that Murong Fa didn’t pose any threat to him, so he took the two girls and walked straight down.
But just after taking a few steps, he suddenly sensed a strong Qi wave behind him, which was not like Yellow Dao Seven Star strength, but more like Celestial Dao One Star.
Exactly!
Murong Fa practiced the Cold Ice Divine Palm, which carried an ice attribute attack, one or two levels higher than the usual grade. This kind of ancient technique generally had such an effect.
Just like Chen Tianlong’s Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, which was one or two levels higher than ordinary cultivation techniques.
Chen Tianlong grabbed Lu Xiaoyu and dodged to the side. As for Shen Yan, she had her strength, so he definitely didn’t worry.
"Boom..."
The cold air from Murong Fa hit a large stone behind Chen Tianlong and the others, instantly freezing it.
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath. Murong Fa actually learned a magic attack. Techniques with attribute attacks are generally magic attacks, and their power is quite formidable.
For someone like Chen Tianlong, who has high physical defense and weak magic defense, fighting with such a magic attack opponent is really disadvantageous.
Seeing Murong Fa’s magic attack, Chen Tianlong suddenly remembered another task he had, which was to find Lin Wushuang’s whereabouts.
"Oh, not bad. I didn’t expect you to be so powerful, but I don’t want to fight you. You better not mess with me." For Murong Fa, Chen Tianlong’s defense wasn’t great, but his attack was possible.
Even if Murong Fa now had Celestial Dao One Star power, Chen Tianlong, after leveling up twice, also reached Celestial Dao One Star, more than enough to deal with Murong Fa.
"Humph, keep showing off. Go ahead, I won’t be soft-hearted. Do you think I’ll believe your bluff? I’m a Yellow Dao Seven Star cultivator." Murong Fa said as he slowly approached.
"Yellow Dao Seven Star? Is your power that impressive?" Shen Yan was just looking for an opportunity to test her strength, and now that Murong Fa volunteered, it was perfect for her practice.
Before Murong Fa could react, Shen Yan started to strike.
Chen Tianlong gave a bitter laugh. This girl was such an impulsive type, but she had just leveled up, so let her enjoy it a bit.
With Shen Yan’s experience, she shouldn’t lose to Murong Fa. Originally, Chen Tianlong planned to strike himself, but since Shen Yan wanted to go up, let her handle it.
So, Chen Tianlong stepped back two steps, holding Lu Xiaoyu and waiting on the side.
Murong Fa never thought that such a pretty girl was actually a cultivator, and seemingly at a similar level to him, which made him somewhat frustrated.
But before he could think too much, Shen Yan punched out.
However, due to the strength gap, Shen Yan, even after leveling up eight levels, was only Yellow Dao Five Stars. After a few moves, Murong Fa figured out her tactics, and she quickly became full of vulnerabilities.
Murong Fa seized on one such opening, and struck at Shen Yan’s chest, intending to freeze her with one palm strike, then follow up with another to finish her off.
But, at that very moment, Chen Tianlong flashed over to Shen Yan’s side and then launched a palm strike.
Originally, Chen Tianlong could have used his full power, but he wanted to keep the act going, not letting the opponent think he was too strong, as this might provoke them to intensify their efforts at all costs.
"Bang!"
After both their palms separated, Chen Tianlong and Murong Fa each retreated two steps. After locking eyes for a moment, Murong Fa turned around and ran.
The situation was different now. Initially, he thought only Chen Tianlong could contend with him, but now even the girl officer could handle him. Continuing to fight would just make him a fool.
