Chapter 143 The Battle of the Grandmasters
In the East China Sea, three thousand miles east of Feiyan Port, the Hong Xing was sailing against the wind and waves. Yue Lingke, dressed in white, stood proudly at the bow with his hands behind his back, with Cao Ze and Hong Xing standing on his left and right.

This time Cao Ze did not bring Su Xiaozhi with him.

Although Su Xiaozhi has already achieved great success in refining the internal organs, he is well aware of how she acquired her skills. She has almost no combat experience, so it is okay for her to bully Liang Hong, an alchemist who is also not good at combat.

This time they came to surround and kill the Grandmaster, and Su Xiaozhi's fighting ability was not enough.

And this time the goal is clear, and the round trip will not take more than half a month.

"That kid is really lucky. He can even be involved in such a good thing as hunting down a grandmaster!"

On the lower deck, the warriors in the Refining Organ Realm from the four major families looked upward and couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

In their view, with Yue Lingke personally taking action, the operation to hunt down the Dragon God Temple's Grandmaster would be a piece of cake. Yue Lingke brought Cao Ze here just to gild his reputation and share some of the credit.

"What's there to be jealous of?"

"If you were forty years younger and had the strength you have now, you would also be valued by Grandmaster Yue Lingke."

"That's true, but he's just a kid who has just broken through to the Refining Organs Realm. It's okay if he makes a mistake, but if he ruins this big event, it will be hard to explain."

Those who could stand here were all elites in the Organ Refining Realm from the four major families. The weakest ones were also those who had achieved great success in Organ Refining. There were even a few half-step masters. This was why they had complaints about Cao Ze's entourage. Naturally, they were also qualified to point fingers at a little guy who had just entered the Organ Refining Realm.

"Grandmaster Yue Lingke must have her reasons for making this arrangement!"

"I hope so, but I'm afraid it's for selfish reasons!"

"Shut up!"

A half-step grandmaster with white hair and beard shouted in a low voice, and the power of the grandmaster spread.

The old half-step master raised his hair and glanced angrily at everyone on the deck.

For a moment, the lower deck was silent and all discussions disappeared, but the lingering complaints could not be dispelled by a single shout.

But this little bit of resentment is not enough to make everyone go on strike passively. Those who can participate in this event are all the elite and core members of the four major families. They are just complaining.

The atmosphere on the Hong Xing was depressing. At this moment, everyone saw the small black dot on the sea in the distance!
"Freedom to meet the enemy!"

Yue Lingke's calm words instantly spread throughout the entire Hong Xing, but she had already appeared on the distant sea.

This was originally a siege war, so there was no time to set up formations. For warriors of their level, ordinary tactics had long since ceased to work, and letting everyone play freely would have a miraculous effect.

Rumble!
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying roar was heard from the sea in the distance. It was obvious that Yue Lingke had already started fighting with the grandmaster of the Dragon God Temple.

Countless black spots flew out from the Dragon God Temple ship like flowers scattered by fairies.

The elite soldiers from the four major families on the Hong Xing rushed forward and fought with the believers of the Dragon Temple.

But not everyone was intercepting these Dragon Temple believers.

The three half-step grandmasters led more than a dozen elite soldiers in the refining organ realm and rushed towards the battlefield of the two grandmasters.

They were confident in Yue Lingke's strength, and they believed that the grandmaster from the Dragon God Temple was no match for him. But a grandmaster was a grandmaster after all, and even if he was defeated, if he wanted to escape, Yue Lingke would probably not be able to kill him in a short time.

Therefore, their role is to delay the opponent for a moment when the opponent wants to escape, which is enough.

But soon, they realized something was wrong.

The boy who had just broken through the Refining Organs Realm did not stay on the Hong Xing and did not go after the believers of the Dragon God Temple. Instead, he followed them to the center of the battlefield.

Does he want his life?

Is it possible for a warrior like him, who has just entered the realm of refining internal organs, to interfere in the battle between grandmasters?
However, the situation was urgent and they did not care about so much. They each stood in three directions according to the pre-designed positions, forming an equilateral triangle to surround the battlefield of the two masters.

Only then did they suddenly realize that there seemed to be a huge flaw in their encirclement.

If it was on land, it would be fine. We could surround them according to their position, and no matter which direction the enemy escaped from, there would be someone who could intercept them at the fastest speed.

But this is the sea!

The sea is a natural hiding place. If the master of the Dragon God Temple dives into the sea, they will be helpless.

But this time the battle plan was arranged entirely by Yue Lingke. They originally thought that Yue Lingke had other arrangements. Now it seems that there was probably a loophole that was overlooked.

Although Yue Lingke is a genius in cultivation, no one can be a jack of all trades and have all the good things taken away by her.

This deployment of troops is ultimately lacking in some aspects.

The three of them looked at each other and saw regret in each other's eyes. They were afraid that this siege operation would end in failure.

At this time, they suddenly discovered that the boy who had just broken through to the Organ Refining Realm had disappeared. Upon closer inspection, they found that he had dived into the sea at some point and was three hundred meters below the battlefield.

They formed a triangular cone-shaped encirclement with them, completely blocking all escape routes of the Dragon God Temple Grandmaster.

But, is he joking?
A little fellow who had just broken through to the Refining Organs Realm actually dared to guard a location alone.

They are half-step grandmasters, and they are accompanied by several elite soldiers who have achieved great success in refining their internal organs, so they have the confidence to block even a single move of the grandmaster.

That guy has a good strategic vision, but unfortunately, he is a fool!
The three of them sighed. They could only pray that the Grand Master of the Dragon God Temple would not discover this loophole. They could not leave their posts at this time, otherwise they would lose their composure and expose their flaws to the enemy, and this siege would be a real failure.

At this time, the battle between Yue Lingke and the master of Dragon God Temple had entered a fierce stage. The master of Dragon God Temple was holding the trident of Poseidon in his hand, like an angry dragon, turning rivers and seas upside down, raising huge waves, and counterattacking the hundreds of mountains under Yue Lingke's fist.

The power controlled by the Grandmaster of Dragon God Temple is obviously related to water. He is naturally like a fish in water in the sea. Although Yue Lingke's Hundred Mountains Divine Fist is at a higher level, it is like still water without roots. For a while, he was suppressed by the Grandmaster of Dragon God Temple and fell into a disadvantage.

Hahahaha...

The Grand Master of the Dragon God Temple laughed loudly, "You guys think you can surround and kill me?"

When he met Yue Lingke, he was also a little frightened, knowing that there was a spy in the Dragon God Temple, otherwise Yue Lingke would not have found his location so accurately.

However, after the fight, he found that this genius that appeared once in hundreds of years in Cape City was just like this!

These idiots from Cape City have no idea how strong they are!
He was secretly proud of himself.

Obviously, the people of Cape City underestimated his strength and actually sent out such a lineup to surround and kill him, destined to make him famous in one battle.

Even more, if they could capture this genius from Cape City...

As soon as he thought of this, he felt the trident in his hand become more powerful, stirring up huge waves, and then instantly condensed into a water dragon nearly a hundred feet long. It swung its tail fiercely and rushed towards the mountain that Yue Lingke was attacking.

Click!

The moment of contact, the solid mountain shattered, and the dragon's tail, which was also a little broken, smashed towards Yue Lingke with a tremendous force.

The Dragon God Temple Grandmaster had a cruel smile on his face.

The three half-step grandmasters from the four major families also changed their expressions. They did not expect the battle to have such an outcome.

Boom! However, at this moment, a muffled thunder sounded, and a blue arc jumped into everyone's eyes.

Shocking!

Like a divine punishment, a thick bolt of lightning fell from the sky. A terrifying sense of oppression enveloped the sea area, and it seemed that the distance between heaven and earth was shortened at this moment.

Yue Lingke's fist enlarged in his eyes, and the broken dragon tail shattered instantly. The trident intersected with Yue Lingke's boxing gloves. Suddenly, an arc of electricity jumped along the trident and jumped to the master of the Dragon Temple.

"Wind and Thunder God Fist!"

The three half-step masters from the four major schools suddenly realized.

They never thought that Yue Lingke could actually practice a wild boxing style to such a level. Judging from its power, it is not inferior to the Hundred Mountains Divine Fist, and may even be better.

Moreover, Yue Lingke seemed to have combined it with the Hundred Mountains Divine Fist to create the effect of a combination punch. After the Hundred Mountains Divine Fist was broken, the Wind and Thunder Divine Fist came out, and it really felt like a bolt from the blue.

It was as if the Dragon God Temple Grandmaster also contributed to this attack. If he hadn't shattered the mountain, the power of this attack wouldn't have been so terrifying.

"Take advantage of the situation!"

Cao Ze, who was lurking on the bottom of the sea, had his eyes lit up. Others could not understand, but he felt it clearly. Yue Lingke's attack was not only a combination of the Wind Thunder God Fist and the Hundred Mountains Divine Fist, but also incorporated the Wind Shadow Step's momentum. That's why it had such a terrifying effect.

Before he came here, he had already improved his Wind Shadow Step to perfection through the Love Points. Now he could already borrow the momentum of a butterfly flapping its wings within a radius of 100 meters.

Watching Yue Lingke's use of the Wind Shadow Step to take advantage of the situation, he suddenly gained a lot of insights.

As expected, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Anyone who can become a master is a genius among ten thousand. Watching the masters' battles can also benefit him a lot.

The Dragon God Temple Grandmaster, who had been hit by Yue Lingke's Wind and Thunder Fist, was already charred all over, and even smelled of meat. His charred body fell stiffly toward the sea.

Yue Lingke also let out a long breath while standing in the air. She did not chase him immediately, trying to kill him while he was sick. Obviously, the previous attack was not easy for her.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; the winner had been decided.

Cao Ze, however, held his breath, opened his view of the sea, and began to float up. At the same time, his water control ability was ready to be used. The moment the master of the Dragon God Temple entered the water, the surrounding sea water changed into invisible giant hands, tightly binding him.

Sure enough, the moment he entered the water, the Dragon God Temple Grandmaster who looked like a piece of charcoal opened his eyes, suddenly came to life, jumped down, and tried to escape from the bottom of the sea.

Although he was fighting with Yue Lingke just now, he had already noticed the three half-step masters who were blocking him around, and the little guy at the bottom of the sea who was only at the Refining Organ Realm was obviously the best breakthrough point.

However, he did not attack the overconfident little guy, but fled away.

Yue Lingke was too terrifying. He just wanted to escape as soon as possible. As a grandmaster, he didn't want to die here.

However, as soon as he moved, he found that the sea seemed to be solidified. Even with his master's strength, he could only move forward with difficulty, and his speed was greatly reduced.

At first glance he knew it was the guy under the sea who was causing trouble.

In that case, there is a road to heaven but you don’t take it!

Feeling hatred in my heart, I changed direction.

In order to intercept him, the boy had already floated up to a position less than a hundred meters away from him. This distance, even in the solidified sea water, was only a matter of seconds for the master to reach.

Dealing with a little fellow in the Zang-Refining Realm is effortless and doesn't take too much time.

The three half-step masters from the four major families in mid-air looked grim, and the thing they were most worried about had happened.

Sure enough, the Grand Master is not so easy to fool.

That kid is finished!
"There is a road to heaven but you don't take it..."

Yue Lingke heaved a sigh of relief instead, and didn't even rush to chase after him. Instead, he took a moment to adjust his condition to its peak before chasing after him again.

Cao Ze naturally would not panic. The master of the Dragon God Temple had been seriously injured by Yue Lingke's Wind and Thunder God Fist. At this moment, he could only exert only 50% of his full strength. He was even confident that he could wear down the opponent.

But now is obviously not the time to be in the spotlight.

So, he decided to try out the move he had just learned.

He raised his hand and punched the Grand Master of Dragon Temple.

Although Cao Ze used the power of Ji Canghai to mobilize the momentum, the power of this punch was not weak, but after all, the sword was not unsheathed, and he only barely touched the threshold of half-step grandmaster.

“There are some tricks!”

The Dragon God Temple Grandmaster secretly praised.

But, it’s still a long way off!
The force of Cao Ze's punch was shattered with a sound.

But the next moment, Cao Ze floated lightly in the sea like a tumbler, and then another punch came.

This punch was actually three times more powerful than the previous one.

This time, the Dragon God Temple Grandmaster understood. Wasn't this exactly the technique that Yue Lingke had used to unleash the Wind and Thunder God Fist?

But how could he block my full-strength attack?
Even if he was seriously injured, even if that kid's technique of dissipating and leveraging force was very mysterious, but could a warrior in the Refining Organs Realm be able to withstand a blow from a grandmaster like him?
boom!
Unsurprisingly, Cao Ze's second punch was still smashed by the Dragon God Temple's Grandmaster.

This time the opponent attacked with all his strength, not giving Cao Ze any chance to take advantage of the situation, and smashed him hard into the seabed.

Cao Ze didn’t have the chance to throw a third punch, nor did he need to, because Yue Lingke had already arrived!

He simply let the terrifying force carry him towards the bottom of the sea, and easily absorbed the force with the help of the seawater. At the same time, he happily experienced the feeling of the two punches just now, and many insights had already emerged in his mind.

Rumble…

Yue Lingke and the Dragon God Temple Grandmaster fought again.

Although seriously injured, it was not so easy for Yue Lingke to kill the opponent. A grandmaster was not so easy to kill.

But the opponent is already seriously injured. As long as we keep wasting time, he will only become easier to kill!

At this time, the three half-step masters in the air above the sea were a little dazed.

What did they see?
A little fellow who had just broken through the Refining Organs Realm not long ago actually managed to block half of the move from a severely injured Grandmaster!
"If I were in the Refining Zang realm, would I be able to achieve that level?"

This question popped up in their minds, and they soon got a negative answer.

“Is this what genius is?”

It had only been half a year since he broke through to the Organ Refining Realm!
"Could it be that this Dragon God Temple Grandmaster is just a show-off, but in reality he is vulnerable?"

In this situation, they couldn't help but think so.
