There were some things in this world that outsiders couldn't understand or even thought to be absurd. However, if one understood the truth of the matter, one would realize that these seemingly absurd things contained a deeper meaning that was hard to imagine.
How much was a Pure Yang Celestial Device worth?
Only a few people could tell.
In fact, most people in Jianghu had never heard of Pure Yang Celestial Devices before. They only knew that there were many strange magic weapons in this world.
It didn't matter if they didn't know before. Now they knew. Rumors spread fast in Jianghu, especially when everyone in Jianghu was interested in one thing. It didn't take long for the whole Jianghu to know that a Pure Yang Celestial Device was a magic weapon second only to a fairy weapon.
Below the Pure Yang Celestial Device, there were psychic celestial devices and Mysterious Celestial Devices. In recent years, Zhou Bao, a young expert who had been in the limelight in Jianghu and made great contributions in the battle to destroy Northern Yuan, had killed a Level Eight expert of Northern Yuan with a psychic celestial device.
A psychic celestial device could allow a Level Five expert to kill a Level Eight expert. What about a Pure Yang Celestial Device that was two levels higher?
This was a reasoning process that could make the whole Jianghu and the whole martial arts world crazy.
Although it was just a joke in Junior Leopard's eyes, it was enough to ignite the dreams of countless people in the martial arts world who had a little bit of strength.
Moreover, in this World Hero Competition, there was more than one Pure Yang Celestial Device. In addition to one Pure Yang Celestial Device, if one could get a good ranking, there would be other rewards. As for what kind of rewards they were, it was believed that the news would spread soon.
"Well, don't think so much. Zhu Ba, I guess with your current strength, even if you go, you won't be able to get any rewards. Don't think muddled thoughts here. If you meet a real expert, go as far as you can. Don't try to be brave and fight. It's not worth it!"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency!"
"Alright, go back. I won't stop anyone who wants to participate in this matter. However, you have to act according to your capabilities. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Just as they were about to leave, Junior Leopard's expression suddenly changed and a trace of doubt flashed across his face. "Jiang Xiao, take some people to have a look. There seems to be a guest outside!"
Just as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion and scolding coming from outside the courtyard.
The faces of Zhu Ba and the others darkened and they walked out together. But before they could walk out of the courtyard, they saw the door of the courtyard being pushed open. Renzhen Cuo stumbled in from outside the door and was hit by a strong force.
"Zhou Bao, you are so arrogant!"
There were three people following Renzhen Cuo, an old man, a middle-aged man, and a teenager. Junior Leopard only recognized the old man. He was Lyu Yiyue, the First Elder of the Wu Family. At this moment, he was looking inside with an awkward expression. When he met Junior Leopard's gaze, he immediately avoided it.
The one who shouted was the teenager. He was about the same age as Junior Leopard. He wore a brocade robe and was full of arrogance. There was a trace of a sneer on his face. Junior Leopard found him familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
As for the middle-aged man behind him, he was dressed in black and had a muscular figure. His expression was indifferent, and he gave off a dignified aura.
"A Level Eight expert?" From the black-clothed man's Qi Power, Junior Leopard could easily perceive his cultivation. It turned out that he was a Level Eight expert.
"Elder Lu, please forgive me for not going out to welcome you. Please forgive me!"
"You flatter me!" Lyu Yiyue hurriedly said, "Elder Zhou, let me introduce you. This is Wu Yulong, the Second Young Master of the Family Head. This is Elder Lin Xiaoqing of the Tian Long Taoism!"
"Wu Yulong? Lin Xiaoqing?"
Junior Leopard's eyes narrowed. He remembered that he had seen the Second Young Master Wu Yulong at the Selection Contest of the Wu Family. Because the Selection Contest was closely followed by Wu Yulong's apprenticeship banquet, he didn't care about this matter at that time and just glanced at him. Ten years later, Wu Yulong had grown from a child to a handsome teenager. Of course, he didn't recognize him.
"Elder Lin, Second Young Master!" Junior Leopard cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, please come in. Renzhen Cuo, serve tea!"
"Humph!" The Second Young Master Wu Yulong snorted coldly. He glanced at Junior Leopard and followed Lin Xiaoqing into the room.
"It's strange. I don't know this Second Young Master Wu, but he seems to be very hostile to me!" Junior Leopard frowned slightly. He didn't want to provoke a playboy like Wu Yulong. However, if Wu Yulong provoked him, then he didn't need to be tolerant. After all, he was no longer the disciple of the Wu Family. Even the Family Head and First Elders of the Wu Family had to be polite to him, not to mention this kid. Most importantly, this kid was Wang She's disciple.
Jiang Xiao, Zhu Ba, and Wang Cheng were also dissatisfied, especially Zhu Ba. His eyes flashed with cold light. If Junior Leopard didn't stop him, he might have fallen out with him on the spot.
"All of you can leave. I'll be fine here!"
… …
… …
"Damn it, that kid is too arrogant. Who the hell is he? How dare he come to our territory? If it weren't for Our Excellency, I would have …!"
"Enough, Zhu Ba. Our Excellency comes from the Wu Family. Although he is famous now, he is still an Outer Core Elder of the Wu Family. Wu Yulong is the Young Master of the Wu Family. It's normal for Our Excellency to have scruples!"
"But …!"
"Don't worry about it!" Jiang Xiao smiled and patted Zhu Ba's shoulder. "Our Excellency is not a person who is willing to suffer losses. Just wait and see. There's a good show coming up!"
"You mean, Our Excellency will …!" Zhu Ba said happily, but Jiang Xiao quickly covered his mouth. "Keep your voice down. They have at least two Level Seven experts!"
"How do you know?!"
"Bullshit. Tian Long Taoism is one of the most powerful schools in the world. It's impossible to be an Elder in such a school without the strength of Level Seven!"
"Oh, I see. I see!" Zhu Ba patted his head and giggled.
… …
… …
Junior Leopard led the three of them into the room and sat them down. Renzhi served the tea and left.
"Elder Lyu, what can I do for you three?"
"This … I think it's better to let Elder Lin tell you. I'm just here to accompany the guests!" Lyu Yiyue said with a bitter smile. He wanted to send a message to Junior Leopard, but Lin Xiaoyue was a Level Eight expert. Even if he used the Secret Voice-sending Skill, he could not hide it from him.
"Well, Elder Lin, what can I do for you to come here?!" Junior Leopard turned to Lin Xiaoyue and asked.
"You should already know about the World Hero Competition, right?!"
This was the first time Lin Xiaoyue had spoken. His voice was very pleasant and had a little magnetism to it. However, his tone was a little cold, and there was a hint of condescension.
Junior Leopard smiled. "I just heard about it. Why are you here? Is it related to this matter? Is Elder Lin going to participate in the World Hero Competition? Haha, with your cultivation, it shouldn't be difficult to get that Pure Yang Celestial Device, right?! "
"It's not me, it's you!" Lin Xiaoyue said, "This World Hero Competition is related to that Pure Yang Celestial Device. However, our big schools and well-known families all have scruples. In order not to hurt our friendship, we made an agreement that only experts below Level Seven are allowed to participate. Elders and experts above Level Seven are not allowed to participate. However, in addition to our big schools and well-known families, some small and medium-sized well-known families also have one or two experts above Level Seven, and some have even succeeded in practicing Gang. In addition, there are some experts who don't belong to any influence. Although there are not many of them, they are the ones who are most eager for the Pure Yang Celestial Device. Although their combat capability is not necessarily strong, they are not people that experts below Level Seven can deal with. That's why we want you to participate. With your strength, it's not difficult to deal with them. As long as you get that Pure Yang Celestial Device for us, we won't treat you badly!"
"Hahahahaha!" Hearing this, Junior Leopard couldn't help laughing. "I'm really sorry, Elder Lin. I think this water is too muddy and I don't want to get involved. I think you'd better find someone else!"
"Zhou Bao, don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Letting you participate is because we think highly of you. Don't think that you can be arrogant just because you have a celestial device. Don't forget that you're still a disciple of the Wu Family. I'm the Young Master of the Wu Family.
"First, I'm not an ordinary disciple of the Wu's. I'm the Outer Core Elder of the Wu's. As for you, you're only the Young Master of the Wu's, not the Family Head. So, you have no right to order me. Second, because I'm the Outer Core Elder of the Wu's, even if the Family Head comes personally, he can't force me to do what I don't want to do. This point is clearly written in the Wu's family rules. If you haven't read it or don't understand it, you can ask First Elder Lyu!"
"You!" Wu Yulong fiercely slapped the handle of the chair and stood up. His powerful palm smashed the handle of the chair into pieces.
"Second Young Master, don't make trouble. You're the Second Young Master of the Wu Family. When you leave the Wu Family, you represent the face of the Wu Family. You're so impulsive that it's easy to get into trouble!" Junior Leopard was still not angry. He smiled and said, "First Elder Lyu, don't you think so?"
Lyu Yiyue just smiled bitterly and pulled Wu Yulong's arm with one hand. After all, he was a Level Seven expert while Wu Yulong's cultivation was only at Level Five. He was pulled back to the chair by Lyu Yiyue. When he was about to do something, he saw that Junior Leopard didn't look at him at all and turned his eyes to Lin Xiaoqing.
"Elder Lin, I'm sorry!"
"It's no use apologizing!" Lin Xiaoqing shook his head gently and stared into Junior Leopard's eyes as if he wanted to see through him. "It's no use for you to refuse, because this is not an order from the Wu Family. It's a decision made by the Tian Long Taoism, the Wang, the Chen, the Lin, and the Yang families, as well as a dozen small and medium-sized families!"
"Hehe, it's really interesting. Tian Long Taoism, the Wang, the Chen, the Lin, and the Yang families have nothing to do with me!" Junior Leopard snorted coldly. His face was still smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes. "I'm neither a disciple of their families nor a disciple of the Tian Long Taoism. What right do you have to tell me what to do?"
"Power comes from strength!" Lin Xiaoqing was unmoved. "As I said, this is a matter of great importance. We must get the Pure Yang Celestial Device. You have to go, whether you don't want to or not!"
"So you mean that even if I go and get the first place, the Pure Yang Celestial Device will still be given to you?"
"Of course, but we won't treat you badly!" Lin Xiaoqing said naturally.
"Hehe, hehe, hahahahaha!" Junior Leopard was so angry that he laughed. "Well, well, well, well, well, you're right. Power comes from strength. With absolute strength comes absolute power. However, I think you've overestimated your own strength, so you've overestimated your power too!"
"I admit that you are indeed a genius. At such a young age, you have such cultivation and reputation. However, you are at best an expert with the combat capability of Level Eight. There are many people who are stronger than you in this world. I think you'd better understand the situation. The Tian Long Taoism, the Wang, the Chen, the Lin, and the Yang families, as well as a dozen small and medium-sized families with sects are not something you can fight against!"
"Then give it a try!" Junior Leopard heard his threat and just sneered. "I'm sorry, I'm busy these two days. I won't keep you here. Please —!"
Junior Leopard raised his teacup and sent the guest off.
He was afraid that Lyu Yiyue was asking him to leave, not even giving face to him.
Lyu Yiyue's face turned pale. He was too embarrassed to stay here any longer. He was about to take Wu Yulong away, but Wu Yulong unexpectedly shook off his hand.
"Junior Leopard, you are too arrogant. How dare you be so rude to Elder Lin!"
Junior Leopard didn't even look at him. He just stared at Lin Xiaoqing. "What? Elder Lin, do you have anything else to do?"
"Now there is only one thing, and that is to take you back!" Lin Xiaoqing's eyes flashed with a cold light. He raised his hand and grabbed Junior Leopard.
"Gang Qi!"
An expert would know whether he had it or not as soon as he stretched out his hand.
Lin Xiaoqing stretched out his hand, and a piercingly cold intent radiated from his body. In the blink of an eye, the room was covered with a layer of white frost.
This grab, with a wisp of frosty white Qi, was aimed directly at Junior Leopard's chest.
"Humph!" Junior Leopard sneered. His whole body shone with red light, and four Fire Dragons formed by Internal Qi rushed forward.
"Insignificant skill!" Seeing the Fire Dragons, Lin Xiaoqing's palm did not dodge, but fiercely slapped down.
"Whoosh!" As the cold wind swept, the four Fire Dragons disappeared in an instant. However, during this time, Junior Leopard's figure had already left the chair. He flashed behind Lin Xiaoqing like a ghost and punched out with both fists.
"Good!" Lin Xiaoqing shouted in a low voice and turned around to punch.
"Bang — —!" Cold air swept out in all directions along with boundless heat.
Wu Yulong, who was on the side, was naturally the first to suffer. He was a Level Five expert, and his cultivation was extremely high at his age. However, facing the overflowing strength of the confrontation between two experts, he could not bear it. His body was shaken several feet away, and he somersaulted several times in the air. Thanks to his strong foundation of martial arts, he was able to stand firm when he fell. However, his face was already pale, and his Qi and blood were surging.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lyu Yiyue pulled Wu Yulong, who had just stood firm, and jumped out through the window.
"Crash!" There was a commotion. The two men's fists hit each other, and they each took two steps back. The room where they were in had fallen apart, and the whole room was ruined.
"This place is too small. If we want to fight, let's change to a bigger place!" Junior Leopard shouted in a low voice. He jumped into the air, operated the Dragon Flying Technique, and went straight to Jilei Mountain.
Lin Xiaoqing's expression changed slightly. He seemed to be a little confused, but he did not show weakness. A white frost Qi rolled up from his body, and he followed Junior Leopard closely.
"Damn it, this guy is from Tian Long Taoism, but I can't kill him. I can only fight him head-on. Just as well, I can take this opportunity to try my punching skill!"
Lin Xiaoqing was from Tian Long Taoism. Although Junior Leopard would not listen to Tian Long Taoism and participate in the World Hero Competition, he would not kill him. Although he believed that Tian Long Taoism would not do anything to him if he killed this Elder with his trump card, it would not be worth it if his relationship with Tian Long Taoism became strained. In fact, he was going to use his trump card to draw Tian Long Taoism to his side. If he killed Lin Xiaoqing, there would be a deep rift between him and Tian Long Taoism. Therefore, he did not want to kill Lin Xiaoqing. If he did not kill Lin Xiaoqing, he would not be able to use many of his skills. For example, he could not use the Extreme Yang Through Sky Sword and the Poison Cold Shield, which were the three most lethal skills. As for the Three Realms Division, he would not use it if he could. As for the two big hammers, he could only find an opportunity to use them. For now, the best way was to defeat Lin Xiaoqing with his fists.
After all, Lin Xiaoqing was a Level Eight expert who had already cultivated Gang Qi. However, Junior Leopard had not yet done so. In this aspect alone, it could be said that the gap between their strengths was very wide, not to mention that a Level Seven Internal Qi was like water and a Level Eight Internal Qi was like steel.
If it was Junior Leopard in the past, he would not have the confidence to defeat Lin Xiaoqing with only his punching skills. But now, Junior Leopard had cultivated to Level Seven in the geocentric fire vein. At the same time, his punching skills had reached the Basic Level and his fist intent had been condensed to the level of Small Completion, which made him more confident.
"Let's do it here, Elder Lin. It's spacious here. It's a good place to bury your bones!"
Not long after flying into Jilei Mountain, Junior Leopard stopped at an open ridge.
"You haven't cultivated Gang Qi. How can you fly?"
Lin Xiaoqing followed him and landed on the ground, asking with his hands clasped behind his back.
"You want to know? Beat me first! "Junior Leopard said.
"Okay, I'll take you back!" Lin Xiaoqing said confidently.
He opened his hands violently, and the silver frost around him rushed toward Junior Leopard.
"Go!" Junior Leopard raised his hand, and dozens of fist-sized golden-red flames rushed towards him without any thought or direction.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaoqing just sneered. Junior Leopard was too famous recently, so some of his common means were known by others.
Of course, Lin Xiaoqing knew that the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique that Junior Leopard practiced was different from the ordinary one. After all, the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique originated from Tian Long Taoism. As an Elder of Tian Long Taoism, Lin Xiaoqing knew more about the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique than the Wu Family. The weird golden-red fireball that Junior Leopard used to smash people was also recorded in the books of Tian Long Taoism.
"You're indeed a genius. You've cultivated the third form of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique that no one has cultivated for more than 10,000 years. However, with your cultivation, you've only cultivated one form of the Nine Forms of Real Dragon. You underestimate Tian Long Taoism if you want to deal with me with only one form. Frost Condenses the World!"
"Whoosh!"
The cold and gloomy frost instantly extinguished the dozens of fireballs.
"What a powerful Gang Qi!" Junior Leopard felt a chill in his heart. Ever since he had practiced the Nine Forms of Real Dragon, his fireball had never been extinguished so easily.
Lin Xiaoqing's Gang Qi seemed to contain extremely cold Qi, which was the opposite of his Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique. They could be said to be mutually restraining.
However, firstly, Lin Xiaoqing's cultivation was one level higher than his. Secondly, he hadn't even cultivated Gang Qi. How could he compete with Lin Xiaoqing in this aspect?
"This guy's strength is not bad, and his whole body is covered with Gang Qi. It seems that this fight will be a little difficult!" Junior Leopard thought to himself. He suddenly leaned forward, opened his left hand, and punched with his right fist.
"Hiss!"
As soon as Junior Leopard opened his left hand, Lin Xiaoqing gasped. Junior Leopard's hand seemed to cover the whole world in an instant. At the same time, a strange suction was produced. The suction was not strong, but it made Lin Xiaoqing involuntarily want to meet Junior Leopard's fist.
"This is fist intent!" “
This was fist intent, Junior Leopard's fist intent. In the earth vein, Junior Leopard's punching skill had reached the Basic Level. His fist intent and punching skill had long been integrated into one. As long as he punched, his fist intent would be displayed.
Fist intent was very strange. It was closely related to divine thoughts. Therefore, Junior Leopard's fist would not only cause physical damage, but also damage the spirit if the opponent was careless. Just now, Lin Xiaoqing's involuntary thought of bumping into Junior Leopard's fist was influenced by Junior Leopard's fist intent.
Lin Xiaoqing was a Level Eight expert. Although he had not succeeded in condensing his spirit, his willpower was extremely tenacious. After feeling that something was wrong, he fiercely concentrated his spirit and gave a low shout. A frosty white Gang Qi rushed toward Junior Leopard's outstretched fist.
"Hiss —!"
A bone-piercing chill mixed with an incomparably tenacious Qi blocked his fist. At the same time, an incomparably evil aura flowed along his fists and seeped into his meridians.
But soon, the Evil Yin Qi that had infiltrated his body was absorbed by the Poison Cold Shield.
"Very good!" Junior Leopard laughed secretly. His Poison Cold Shield could not be seen now, but as long as he did not take it out, Lin Xiaoqing would not see it.
"Boy, are you looking for death? How dare you fight against my Gang Qi with your fists! "
"I've lived long enough. What do you think?" Junior Leopard shouted coldly. Above his fists, hot Qi blazed. The Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique was running at full strength, and he rushed toward Lin Xiaoqing.
"Humph!" Lin Xiaoqing sneered and also rushed forward.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom —!" The sound was like thunder.
His Gang Qi and his fists collided with each other for a dozen times. Lin Xiaoqing gave a muffled groan, and his face suddenly turned pale. He quickly retreated, and his eyes showed extreme horror.
When Junior Leopard and his Gang Qi collided with each other for a dozen times, he was horrified to find that Junior Leopard was not only not afraid of his Gang Qi, but also his fists were particularly hard. His fist strength was so strong that he could not imagine it. After a dozen punches, his Gang Qi showed signs of being unable to support. Looking at Junior Leopard's calm appearance, it seemed that the more he fought, the more energetic he became. For the first time, a trace of fear flashed in his heart.
His Gang Qi and his fists collided, and in the end, his Gang Qi was at a disadvantage?
How could this be possible? How could such a thing happen? If this was spread out, it would be a big joke!
But now, right in front of him, right in front of him, this big joke happened.
"Hahahaha, Gang Qi, do you think it's great to have Gang Qi? Believe it or not, I'll smash your Gang Qi! "
