Surge of Cultivation

Gu Yu had grown up beside the "Skeleton King" and had undergone eighteen years of hell-like cruel training. His heart was tougher than steel and colder than ice, and such a person, naturally wouldn't be scared by Duanmu Rong's harsh words.

"Hehehe …"

Gu Yu let out a creepy, ghost-like laughter. She glanced coldly at Duanmu Rong and slowly said, "In my entire life, I've accepted a total of forty-nine missions and killed fifty-two people … Not you two. Although I didn't kill many people, none of them were mediocre and mediocre. Nor was there anyone who could escape from me by a fluke. Miss Duanmu, this is not a Chinese city where you can call the wind and summon the rain. Do you have a chance to get out? "

Duanmu Rong had also been assassinated by members of the 'Skeleton' organization. She knew that she was one of the most famous assassins on the list, so she was not surprised that Gu Yu knew her identity. When she heard Gu Yu talk about killing, she felt as relaxed as a commoner.

"You won't get your retribution, you won't see it anyway." Her gaze was like cold lightning as she stared at Duanmu Rong, "I really want to know, as the future successor of the 'Weak Water Group', what kind of thoughts would arise in the hearts of a female businessman who could cause a huge stir in the Federation's business world with just a stamp of her foot and decide the lives of tens of thousands of rich and poor with a single word?"

"You will be punished. You will be punished … " Duanmu Rong repeated this line repeatedly. She wished that lightning would strike down from the sky and hack this repulsive evil woman to death.

"Whether you take revenge or not, you won't be able to see it anyway!" Gu Yu coldly said.

"Then do it!"

Duanmu Rong hugged Ye Qingdi tighter and tighter, as if she wanted to rub their bodies together. She lowered her head and foolishly looked at Ye Qingdi. Other than the blood at the corner of his mouth that shocked her, there was no expression of pain on his face. It was as if he had just fallen asleep. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as if he had a smile that no one would be able to detect or touch.

He looked so good even when he died!

Duanmu Rong gently caressed Ye Qingdi's face with her palm. She felt a wave of pain in her heart and a wave of bitterness. A dense layer of mist instantly obscured her vision.

This time, she abandoned all reservations and followed Ye Qingdi out. She wanted to spend some time with him, but who would have thought that she would encounter such a huge change. Only now did she realize how much she loved him.

However, the deeper her love went, the more pain she would suffer. At this time, she no longer had any other thoughts in her heart, and only hoped that Gu Yu could make a move soon so that she could recover from this unforgettable pain.

He heard that the evil person's soul would fall into hell after death and the good person's soul would ascend to heaven after death. Ye Qingdi and he should be considered good people, right? Should we go to heaven? Perhaps on the road to heaven, the two of them could meet again!

"Since you want to die so much, I shall grant your wish!"

Every time there was a killing moment, Gu Yu would feel a perverted sense of joy in her heart. She looked at Duanmu Rong, who was still in a daze. With a cruel and malevolent smile, she slowly raised her right palm and chopped down.

This slash contained an endless amount of force. Once it landed, Duanmu Rong would be drenched in blood, and her body would be decapitated.

As if he could feel the reaper's sickle slashing down on him, Duanmu Rong did not feel any fear, only tranquility and joy.

"Am I going to die? God, please bless me, and let me meet him again in heaven. I still have a lot of things that I haven't said to him … "

A few drops of tears, accompanied by Duanmu Rong's last thoughts, fell onto Ye Qingdi's forehead, nose, and cheeks like raindrops. Duanmu Rong was muddle-headed and did not notice that when her tears fell onto Ye Qingdi's tightly shut eyes, his eyelids had actually twitched imperceptibly.

"F * ck!"

Ye Qingdi suddenly cursed out from the mouth of the 'dead' Ye Qingdi. With that sound, Ye Qingdi jumped out of Duanmu Rong's embrace like a nimble cat, pouncing towards Gu Yu like a fierce tiger pouncing on its prey.

"He's playing dead!"

Just as this thought appeared in Gu Yu's mind, before she could even react, she felt her waist tighten, and she was actually held tightly by Ye Qingdi's arms. Ye Qingdi pressed his head against Gu Yu's chest and stomped his feet. His entire body shot up into the air like a bullet bursting out of the chamber. Under Duanmu Rong's astonished gaze, he fell into the deepest part of the lake below.

"Thump!"

Water splashed everywhere as the surface of the lake rippled.

Who knew how deep this lake was. After the two of them fell into the lake, there was actually no movement for a long time. Duanmu Rong was stunned for a moment. Then, he suddenly jumped up and rushed to the lakeside. He anxiously stared at the calm surface of the lake.

"Boom!" BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! "Boom!"

After the silence, several loud muffled sounds suddenly burst out from the bottom of the lake, like a volcano erupting. The water in the entire lake was stirred up, boiling up and down endlessly.

"He's not dead! He's not dead! He's not dead! "

Emperor Ye Qing's miraculous "resurrection" had given Duanmu Rong, whose heart was already dead, a boost to her heart. She stood by the lake, shouting excitedly in her heart. The immense pain had already been replaced by boundless joy. She knew that at this moment, Ye Qingdi was at the bottom of the lake fighting with the powerful assassin. She believed that he would be able to defeat his opponent and create a miracle.

Some of the waves were even several tens of feet high. Duanmu Rong knew that the battle at the bottom of the lake had already reached its most critical and critical juncture, but she still could not help but become nervous, allowing the high waves of water to hit her body. She did not dodge or evade, and she did not feel anything.

A battle that could not be seen, but could still be imagined, gradually subsided. Not long after, the lake returned to its original calm state, and the surrounding scenery was reflected back into the water. It was as beautiful as ever, as if nothing had ever happened here.

"Ye Qingdi, come up!" Come up quickly! "

Duanmu Rong stood at the edge of the lake, staring at the lake without blinking. Her two small hands had turned pale due to nervousness, and she wanted to see Ye Qingdi's head suddenly emerge from the water. Then, he grinned at her, revealing his impressively white teeth.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was darkening. Duanmu Rong's entire body seemed like a petrified statue, and her bright eyes dimmed as the sun slowly set. Her heart fell into the bottomless abyss once again, and her hope was slowly shattered. Gradually, it turned into despair.

The battle at the bottom of the lake had already stopped for four whole hours. During these four hours, the surface of the lake remained calm, without a single ripple.

They would perish together!

Such a terrifying and unacceptable phrase suddenly appeared in Duanmu Rong's mind. The despair after the pleasant surprise had shattered her heart.

"Ye Qingdi, you promised to take me out for a day of fun. How can you leave just like that? You lied to me … You broke your promise. You lied to me … "You broke your promise..."

Duanmu Rong mumbled to herself. Unknowingly, tears had already started rolling down her cheeks.

Suddenly, Duanmu Rong stood up and walked forward mechanically as if he was a fool. The unfathomable lake lay beneath his feet. To Duanmu Rong, who could not swim, this was a road that led to death!

The lake water covered his feet, knees, thighs, waist, buttocks, chest … Duanmu Rong's expression was calm and serene.

When there was only a sliver of daylight left in the west, the lake water finally reached Duanmu Rong's head. Like a giant beast opening its bloody mouth, it completely swallowed her up.

The water entered her nose, choking Duanmu Rong so hard that she felt uncomfortable. She subconsciously wanted to struggle upwards, but the water seemed to have a huge suction force that pulled her downwards.

This time, he was really going to die …

Duanmu Rong felt her body begin to sink. In the midst of her haziness, she suddenly felt something beneath her, lifting her up out of the water before moving towards the lakeside.

"Hey, how did you fall into the water? "I was too careless!" Ye Qingdi's voice sounded beneath him.

This voice was like a miraculous pill. After it entered Duanmu Rong's ears, her consciousness immediately came to life as tears instantly flowed down her face.

"Ye Qingdi …" Duanmu Rong burst into tears as she choked with sobs, "You …" "You're not dead?"

"I remember back then, I gave him the nickname 'Undying Little Powerful'. I'm really lucky …" Ye Qingdi gasped for breath as he spoke, as if the battle just now had consumed a lot of his physical strength.

"Wuuu..." Great... Woo woo … * Put me down, I want to see you. "Look at you..." Duanmu Rong had never cried so bitterly before. However, there was no grief in her crying voice. There was only indescribable joy and gratification.

"We haven't reached the shore yet, how can we put it? I'll carry you. " Ye Qingdi slowly retracted his arms and held Duanmu Rong's body in his arms.

Duanmu Rong stopped crying and didn't wipe the tears off her face. Her arms were tightly wrapped around Ye Qingdi's neck as she stared at him with wide eyes, as if she had never seen this person before. Ye Qingdi had a smile on his face, his eyes were clear and bright, but there was a deep sense of exhaustion on his face.

It could be said that this was the most dangerous battle he had encountered since he had embarked on the road of martial arts. If not for the Rainbow Battle Bead in his dantian, which provided him with an endless stream of spirit energy during this life and death battle, allowing him to swim like a fish in water, he probably would have been the one who was buried under the lake.

"What do you think? Do you think I look good when I get wet?" Ye Qingdi lowered his head and greeted Duanmu Rong's gaze with a smile.

"Your current appearance is … "It's a mess..." Duanmu Rong sniggered.

"Don't mention me, you too …" Emperor Ye Qing said.

Duanmu Rong's entire body was drenched as well. However, after her wet body revealed its curves, her beauty appeared in the air, and her body's movements were able to attract people's attention. Ye Qingdi's Adam's apple kept sliding, and his gaze kept on her.

The two of them walked to the shore. Ye Qingdi placed Duanmu Rong on a piece of grass that he had made earlier and then laid down on top of her. He panted heavily as he laid on top of her body.

"Where is the killer?" Duanmu Rong couldn't help but ask as she sat up.

"I'm alive. Of course she's dead."

"Why is her body not visible?"

"Heh heh …" Ye Qingdi smiled proudly. After adjusting his Qi, he then said, "Just you wait, her body will appear in a short while …" But you have to be mentally prepared. Her body may look very unsightly … "

"Why?" Duanmu Rong was filled with curiosity towards the battle that had occurred underwater. She knew that the assassin was stronger than Ye Qingdi, but she didn't know what method Ye Qingdi used to achieve a miraculous victory.

"Because..." Ye Qingdi also sat up and stared blankly at the surface of the lake. He suddenly sighed, "I never would have thought that the surface of such a beautiful lake would be so dangerous under the water …"

Despite knowing that Ye Qingdi was trying to keep them in suspense, Duanmu Rong did not say a word and merely waited for him to continue.

"Do you know about cannibal fish?"

"I've heard of it before..." Duanmu Rong was extremely smart and immediately guessed what was going on. She said in surprise, "You're saying …"

"That's right, there are cannibal fish in this lake, and there are quite a few of them. If it were not for the protection of my body, I might have been bitten by them! " As Ye Qingdi spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed at the lake and shouted, "Look at what is that?"

Under the dim light of the day, one could vaguely see a corpse floating in the lake. Duanmu Rong only had to look at it for a bit before she immediately retracted her gaze, revealing a disgusted expression.

The body could no longer be called a corpse. There were only bones left on most parts of its body. It looked horrifying. Water was boiling around the corpse. It seemed to be surrounded by a large school of fish. It must be the cannibal fish that Ye Qingdi talked about.

"Do you think she died miserably?" Ye Qingdi said with a smile.

"Serves you right!" Duanmu Rong said softly.

Emperor Ye Qing agreed and said, "That's right. After killing so many people, even dying a hundred times isn't enough for her! I killed her for the sake of the people! "

"Let's not talk about her, let's talk about you …" How did you beat her? "

"It's a long story..." Ye Qingdi looked at the sky, then looked at the expectant Duanmu Rong and said, "Let's leave this place first. Since there are assassins in this area, it means that the Skeleton's men are probably after our whereabouts, so we shouldn't stay here for long. Damn, this' skeleton 'was truly invincible! "Sigh, I wanted to have a good day with you, but that damned assassin ruined my good mood!"

Duanmu Rong's gaze turned cold and she regained some of her decisive killing intent. She hatefully said, "When I return, I will discuss with mother about this matter and prepare a counterattack against the 'skeleton'! If he didn't teach them a lesson, they would change to Gali and become even more arrogant! In addition, we are also investigating the identity of the mastermind. Whoever is against me, or against you, our people will go and investigate! "" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...

Saying that, she frowned and said, "Do we have to go now? It's almost dark, where can we go? "

He pointed to a place with the words' Tao Jiagou 'written on it and happily said, "This small mountain village is only about forty Li away from us. Let's go over and take a look first, maybe we can find a place to stay for the night and also find some things to eat." [Sigh, I can't believe that I, the hero of the king of Ye, would be reduced to such a state...]

Glancing at Duanmu Rong, he couldn't help but laugh as he said, "I never imagined that the famous successor of the 'Weak Water Group,' the petite and noble Miss Duanmu, would be as bedraggled as me …"

A gust of wind blew from an unknown place, soaking Duanmu Rong's clothes. She could not help but shiver and shrink back.

"Can you walk?" After resting for a moment, Ye Qingdi felt that he had recovered enough and stood up to say that.

Duanmu Rong nodded and followed him to stand up. After taking a few steps forward, she sighed and said to Ye Qingdi in a soft voice, "You …. Can you still hold me? "I'm out of steam..."

She hadn't eaten anything for the better part of a day. The "Immortal Chickens" Ye Qingdi had roasted all fell to the ground, rolling around in the dirt and making it impossible for her to eat them.

"No problem." Ye Qingdi walked over with a smile, picked her up and said, "Let's go!" With that, he rushed out.

The sky was not completely dark yet. Ye Qingdi rushed towards the east at full speed, his figure turning into a faint shadow. After about half an hour, he had already crossed countless tall mountains. Finally, he saw a huge valley in front of him.

By this time, the moon had already risen. Under the faint moonlight, there were still dozens of houses scattered around the valley. It should be the "Tao family ditch" marked on the map.

After the two entered the valley, Ye Qingdi set Duanmu Rong down and walked into the mountain village with her hand in hand. Seeing the lights on in the yard of a household, they smiled at each other before walking over and knocking on the courtyard door.

A moment later, a little girl around the age of eleven or twelve opened the gate a little and stuck her head out. She looked at Ye Qingdi and Duanmu Rong and asked, "Who are you?"

The little girl wore a simple floral dress with two braids. She had delicate features and looked innocent and cute. She looked very likeable. Duanmu Rong couldn't help reaching out her hand to touch her little head and said with a smile, "Little sister, how old are you? "How old are you this year?"

"Elder sister, my name is Tao A Xue. I'm 11 years old this year!" The little girl crisply replied. It was obvious that she had a good impression of this beautiful big sister in front of her. However, she was very curious as to why this big sister was wearing wet clothes.
