Chapter 144: Battle Master

"waste!"

A light boat was floating on the sea dozens of miles away from the center of the battlefield. From such a long distance, the light boat looked like a small dot submerged in the deep blue sea.

An old man on the boat, wearing a golden flying dragon robe, cursed in a low voice with a gloomy face. He was the chief priest of the Dragon God Temple, Qiu Tianxi.

Their original plan was to let Si Zhongyu lure Yue Lingke away, and then he would come out and kill the guy who repeatedly ruined the Dragon God Temple's plans.

I didn't expect Si Zhongyu to be so useless. He couldn't even beat a little guy who had just broken through to the Grandmaster level a few years ago, and he was in a situation where he was almost certain to die.

Even though he was a waste, a Grandmaster was also an extremely important asset to the Dragon God Temple. He couldn't just watch him die at the hands of Yue Lingke.

The light boat under his feet moved without wind, and soon it shot across the sea like an arrow, causing Qiu Tianxi's golden robe to flutter in the wind.

A distance of dozens of miles is just a few dozen breaths for a master.

Yue Lingke, who was fighting with Si Zhongyu, soon discovered Qiu Tianxi who was rushing over.

No wonder their siege went so smoothly this time!
It is probably hard to say whether they were surrounding and killing each other, or whether the Dragon Temple set a trap for them. Who is the hunter and who is the prey?

Unfortunately, the opponent obviously underestimated her strength. If two masters joined forces at the beginning, she would naturally not be their opponent. But now, even if another master came, she would not be afraid!

What's more, this later master was not as strong as Si Zhongyu. If there were two masters like this, he would kill them one by one!
Swish!
Before the person arrived, a shrill sound of breaking through the air was heard.

A black line, like a fishing line dropped by God, headed straight for Yue Lingke.

The faces of the three half-step grandmasters surrounding in the air turned ugly. Another grandmaster!
As half-step grandmasters, they understand better how big the gap is between a half-step grandmaster and a grandmaster.

But the arrow is on the string and must be fired.

The three of them looked at each other, and the half-step grandmaster of the Yue family took the lead. With a flash of his body, he was already under the long whip, and swung his fist, a phantom of a mountain appeared to meet the long whip.

laugh!
The long whip was like a red-hot iron rod scratching through cheese. It didn't even slow down much, and it cut through the phantom of the mountain with unstoppable force and went straight towards the Half-Step Grandmaster of the Yue Family who was blocking the way below.

At this time, another half-step grandmaster of the Bai family arrived and flipped his hand. Suddenly, the whole sky seemed to be grasped in this palm and solidified in an instant. The wind blowing into this world seemed to be frozen, and even the long whip that had just been unstoppable was frozen for a moment, like an insect trapped in amber.

However, the next moment, Qiu Tianxi just snorted lightly and shook the whip, and the sky became lively again. The wind blew smoothly again, and the long whip continued to be unstoppable.

The half-step grandmaster of the Bai family turned pale and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Qiu Tianxi broke his control over the world with the Fantian Seal. Before the whip even reached him, the backlash alone was enough to cause him serious injuries.

"Die, old thief!"

At this time, the half-step grandmaster of the Ye family had also arrived.

A dragon roar like thunder sounded, and a green dragon rushed towards Qiu Tianxi with bared fangs and claws.

He did not try to intercept the long whip, but instead tried to capture the leader first and went straight to Qiu Tianxi.

However, Qiu Tianxi didn't even look at him, and the long whip in his hand went straight down and continued to chop towards Yue Lingke.

As soon as Yue Lingke stepped on the sea water, a phantom of a mountain appeared around her out of thin air. At the same time, her hands did not stop, and she punched at Si Zhongyu faster and faster than the other, making Si Zhongyu unable to defend himself. His charred face turned pale and his body was erratic. It seemed that Yue Lingke was about to break his defense.

The long whip cut through the shadow of the mountain like a knife cutting leather. Although it was slow, it kept moving downwards and was about to land on Yue Lingke.

At this time, the green dragon finally landed on Qiu Tianxi.

Unfortunately, when it was three feet away from Qiu Tianxi, a five-clawed golden dragon suddenly appeared in the empty air. The golden dragon glanced at the phantom of the green dragon with contempt in its eyes, and then waved its claws indifferently, as if swatting a fly, and easily dispersed the phantom of the green dragon.

The half-step grandmaster of the Ye family, who had combined man and spear, flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.

At this time, Qiu Tianxi's long whip finally fell on Yue Lingke.

Snapped!
A clear voice sounded.

There was a bloody mark on Yue Lingke's white robe.

"She didn't hide?"

Qiu Tianxi was stunned, and soon his face turned ugly.

Shocking!

At the moment when the mountain shadow shattered, Yue Lingke swung his fist, and a blue arc of electricity jumped, instantly breaking through Si Zhongyu's defense.

This time, the blue electric arc and Yue Lingke's fist fell on Si Zhongyu together.

puff!
Si Zhongyu was thrown into the sea like a stone.

Then the next moment he broke out of the water and fled into the distance.

This is the Grandmaster’s vitality!
The half-step grandmaster of the Yue family had already taken his position after blocking Qiu Tianxi's whip.

At the same time Si Zhongyu rushed out of the sea, he had already rushed forward and swung his fist. A towering and majestic mountain fell down along with his fist.

He is very proud!

He came up with this punch when he was out and about and accidentally saw a mountain and had an epiphany.

The Hundred Mountains Divine Fist was formed by observing the Hundred Mountains. This punch was his proudest one and also his trump card.

Since the little fellow who had just entered the Refining Organs Realm could block this fake grandmaster, it would naturally be no problem for him to stop the opponent with this proud punch.

Bang!
However, the next moment, a terrifying force pulled him back to reality.

He felt like he was hit head-on by a wild ancient beast running at full speed. The shadow of the mountain shattered at the moment of contact. His right fist bent like a noodle, and the whole person flew backwards like an arrow shot from a crossbow.

Blood spurted out of his mouth like crazy, Yue Xiaoshan felt as if his soul became dazed and the world became blurry.

boom!
After hitting the sea surface hard, he regained some consciousness, but at this time he only saw a small black dot that was moving away quickly.

"how is this possible?"

Yue Xiaoshan turned around and looked at the seabed in the center of the battlefield. Although he could not see anything through the sea surface, he knew that Cao Ze was there.

It seemed like he was blocking it very easily just now.

Now, the Grand Master of the Dragon God Temple had been hit by Yue Lingke's Wind and Thunder Fist again and was already seriously injured and dying, but he couldn't even take a single blow?
Looking at the way the other party escaped so casually, it seemed that this was just a casual attack.

If Yue Lingke hadn't caught up with him, he would probably have died.

It was not until now that he realized the value of Cao Ze’s punch!
At the bottom of the sea, Cao Ze had already used his ability to control water to rush madly towards the surface.

Just now, he was knocked too far by Si Zhongyu's punch, and everything happened too fast, so he couldn't catch up in time.

While Si Zhongyu was running away, Qiu Tianxi had already turned around, not even leaving his boat behind, and ran away on the sea.

Yue Lingke frowned as he looked at the two people walking away.

"Go ahead, I'm here!"

Cao Ze's voice rang out.

Yue Lingke's brows relaxed, and she was suddenly glad that she brought Cao Ze with her this time.

Si Zhongyu was obviously seriously injured and there was no way he could escape her pursuit. If they let him go, it would be difficult for them to find such a good opportunity again.

But the appearance of Qiu Tianxi made her a little cautious. If she went to hunt down Si Zhongyu, Qiu Tianxi might make a surprise attack, and the elite soldiers from the four major families who came with her this time would be in danger.

But with Cao Ze here, even if she can't defeat Qiu Tianxi, she can hold on until she comes back. She knows Cao Ze's strength very well!
"Don't be so stubborn. If you can't win, just run away and wait for me to come back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yue Lingke had already chased after Si Zhongyu.

The following battle was not suspenseful. The people accompanying the Dragon God Temple were surrounded and killed by the two half-step masters and the elite refining warriors, and soon they were all annihilated. Everything returned to calm. The elites of the four major families cleaned up the battlefield, packed up the spoils, and returned to the Red Apricot.

But everyone was a little worried. They didn't know why Yue Lingke would fall for such an obvious trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. What would they do if the grandmaster from the Dragon God Temple came back?
Yue Xiaoshan subconsciously looked around for Cao Ze's trace, but found that Cao Ze had disappeared long ago and no one knew where he had gone.

……

Qiu Tianxi felt the fluctuations of pursuit in the distance, and his face was not very good. He did not expect that Yue Lingke would choose to hunt down Si Zhongyu under such circumstances. Doesn't she care about the life and death of the elite of the four major families at all?

He had heard a long time ago that this woman was a lunatic, and now, he finally had some resonance with those people in Cape City.

at this point,

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Qiu Tianxi stopped fleeing and looked towards the direction of the Hong Xing.

He did not choose to help Si Zhongyu out of trouble. He was the master in charge of daily affairs of the Dragon God Temple. His personal strength was not strong. If he really had potential, how could he be willing to spend time on some mundane affairs.

He was very clear about his own weight. In terms of strength, he was naturally far inferior to Si Zhongyu. Even Si Zhongyu was no match for that woman. It would be useless for him to go over there. Instead, he might be killed by the other party in one fell swoop. It would be a buy one get one free deal.

He would never do such a loss-making business.

When Qiu Tianxi thought of the scene where the woman was willing to take his whip in order to severely injure Si Zhongyu, he felt a chill in his heart. He didn't want to face that scary woman head-on.

So, since the woman wanted to change, he would fulfill her wish!

Even if Si Zhongyu died at the hands of that woman, the elite troops from the four major families she brought with her would have no chance of survival, especially that boy who repeatedly ruined their plans.

It's easy to see and do.

Moreover, Si Zhongyu might not really die. The Grandmaster is not that easy to kill.

As soon as he thought of this, Qiu Tianxi turned around and rushed towards the Hongxing. He wanted to turn all the elite soldiers from the four major families into corpses before that woman came back!
Suddenly, the sea surface beneath his feet suddenly arched up, like a small mountain, and slammed towards him.

Qiu Tianxi paused and swung the whip in his hand like a painter waving a paintbrush, easily cutting through the hill-like waves in front of him.

But at this moment, a figure broke out of the sea, and a dazzling sword light lit up behind Qiu Tianxi.

For a moment, the entire sea area seemed to be rushing towards Qiu Tianxi with this knife.

Qiu Tianxi sneered and ignored the knife, and the long whip in his hand coiled backwards like a snake.

Swish!
The sword light instantly reached his body, and the power of the entire heaven and earth was released instantly, bursting out with extreme speed and strength.

However, when it was three feet away from Qiu Tianxi, a golden dragon shadow appeared, and a thunderous dragon roar sounded. The five-clawed golden dragon swung its tail and collided fiercely with the sword light.

puff...

After the golden and cold light confronted each other for a moment, the sword light shattered with a loud bang, and a small piece of the dragon's tail of the five-clawed golden dragon also appeared.

But at this time, Qiu Tianxi's long whip had already reached Cao Ze.

puff!
Even though Cao Ze had already activated the Wind Shadow Step in advance, his left shoulder was instantly covered in blood and flesh. Severe pain came and his entire left hand went limp.

Is this the power of a grandmaster?
Cao Ze was secretly shocked.

Originally, he was planning to gain the upper hand with a sneak attack, suppress Qiu Tianxi, and finally unleash an extraordinary attack with the Snow Falling Blade to kill the grandmaster of the Dragon God Temple.

Unexpectedly, he was defeated in just one move. Not to mention suppressing Qiu Tianxi, it was unknown whether he could hold out against Qiu Tianxi.

"It's really you!"

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Qiu Tianxi was a little surprised.

He has seen this kid before.

More than a year ago, in the ruins at sea, this kid was among the people from the four major families. Who would have thought that the inconspicuous kid at that time was the culprit who destroyed the elite of his Dragon God Temple.

Who could have thought that the little fellow back then could grow to this point so quickly!
The golden dragon around him was blessed by the Dragon God. Its defense was stronger than that of an ordinary master, but this kid cut off a part of its tail, which means that this kid at least has the combat power comparable to that of a master.

Fortunately, they got the information in time, and fortunately he came!

If we just send a half-step master here, I'm afraid this kid will really escape again. If we let this kid continue to grow, he will definitely become a serious threat to the Dragon God Temple in the future.

Qiu Tianxi smiled, "It's worth our efforts to kill such a genius. Even if Si Zhongyu dies, it's worth it!"

In his eyes, Cao Ze was already a corpse.

"layout?"

Cao Ze was shocked. The Dragon God Temple used the Grandmaster as bait not to kill Yue Lingke, but for him?
This makes sense. If one wants to kill Yue Lingke, one must mobilize more forces. Such a mobilization of forces cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the Demon Subduing Division.

But how did the Dragon Temple know his identity?
A figure instantly appeared in Cao Ze’s mind.

Snapped!
The long whip tore through the air and whistled towards him. Qiu Tianxi did not give Cao Ze more time to think.

The situation of the surrounding world suddenly became strange, like a long whip, either whistling towards him or circling around him. In an instant, Cao Ze had lost control of the situation of the surrounding world.

Ji Canghai swung out again, but without the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, the light of this knife dimmed, and when the Meteoric Knife came into contact with the long whip, a wailing sound was heard.

If they fight a few more times, the Meteorite Sword will probably break into pieces.

What made Cao Ze even more solemn was that he even found it difficult to perform the Wind Shadow Step.

Every attack from Qiu Tianxi was like a whip held in someone's hand. Not to mention taking advantage of the momentum, even if one grabbed it with both hands and pulled hard, there was no way to stop it.

Take advantage of the situation?

I can't borrow even a little!
Only then did Cao Ze understand how much Yue Lingke had held back when sparring with her.

Yue Lingke never thought that Cao Ze would fight with a true master so soon.

Guan Hai opened his vision, spotted the weak spot in Qiu Tianxi's whip, and chopped it off fiercely.

Snapped!
There was another whip mark on his body.

Even though the Falling Star Blade and the Wind Shadow Steps had relieved most of the force, he still felt a burning pain.

The transition between hunter and prey is so rapid.

"You can only use that move!"

Cao Ze didn't hesitate at all.

If he had encountered such a setback a month ago, he might have turned around and ran away. With his ability to control water, Qiu Tianxi might not be able to catch up with him.

No, if it was a month ago, he would not have suffered such a setback, and he would not have come alone to intercept a master.

But the burden of the Yuwen family is weighing heavily on his mind, and he must quickly improve his strength, so he cannot run away!

Qiu Tianxi must die!
He needs a master to be his stepping stone on his road to progress!
The lungs on both sides of his chest lit up with brilliant golden light, and a sharp aura flowed through him, making him instantly like a sword drawn from its sheath, fully sharp.

The next moment, the sharp energy sank into the kidney lake and turned into a silent drizzle that moistened everything, nourishing the liver wood and causing it to burst out with brilliant green light. The rich vitality made Cao Ze's injuries healed in an instant.

At the same time, a beam of dazzling light descended from the sky, forcing back the forces surrounding Cao Ze.

Finally, all this rich vitality flows into the heart!
boom!
In an instant, as if a volcano erupted, a terrifying aura emanated from Cao Ze.

Qiu Tianxi turned around and ran without any hesitation.

This kid obviously used some secret technique and temporarily burst out his strength. There was no need to fight him head-on at this time. As long as we delay for a while, he will collapse on his own.
