Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 158 The Second of the Overlord Blade Peak

At the foot of the mountain, the two elders were somewhat surprised to see the five teleportation beams that appeared one after another.

"People have been eliminated so quickly?"

As the guiding light dissipated, the first figures to be revealed were the three who had blocked the door. They lay on the ground, bleeding profusely and barely alive, their breaths weak.

"What happened? Such serious injuries?"

Elder Cao was startled and rushed over to check the situation. His expression gradually became serious, then strange.

After feeding each of the three a pill, Elder Cao, seeing that the three who had been blocking the door were somewhat better, asked, his eyes burning with barely concealed anger: "You lot, tell me, how did you suffer such severe injuries?"

The three men smiled wryly, their faces showing shame. They first gave Elder Cao a forced bow, and then said, "Thank you for saving us, Elder. We are not as skilled as you, so we have nothing to complain about."

Three people were targeting one person, and they ended up being seriously injured by just one look from that person. It's too embarrassing to talk about this.

Besides, they were in the wrong first. If they revealed everything to Elder Cao, they might only anger him and suffer more losses than gains.

Although such behavior is not prohibited during the trial, it is indeed despicable to say it out loud, especially by Elder Cao, who is known for his hatred of evil and his kindness and integrity.

"Um?"

Elder Cao raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised. He gave the three of them a deep look, but didn't ask any further questions. He waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

"Go to the infirmary and get some rest."

"Alright, thank you, Elder."

After thanking them again, the three of them helped each other away.

Watching the three figures disappear into the distance, Elder Cao and Elder Hai exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise and astonishment in each other's eyes.

"It seems they suffered serious injuries to their souls, but it's clear that the attacker held back."

"To have the strength to launch such an attack in a place like that, tsk tsk, that's truly amazing."

Elder Hai marveled, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

"Who do you think it could be? Is it one of those Foundation Establishment cultivators?"

Elder Cao pondered, quite curious about this question.

"Probably." Elder Hai pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Besides them, I can't think of anyone else."

As the two were talking, the two teleportation beams behind them dissipated, revealing the two people who had been eliminated by Yu Changsheng.

Compared to the previous three, these two were much better off. They were only weak, pale, and had blood trickling from the corners of their mouths. After leaving the trial grounds, their complexions improved considerably.

Elder Cao sensed the situation and said in surprise, "These two were also attacked by divine sense? But it was much less severe. Perhaps it was the same person who did it."

After thinking for a moment, Elder Cao stepped forward and, after the two had rested for a while, gently asked, "What happened? Were the three people who were eliminated earlier part of the same group as you?"

"No," the two men laughed awkwardly, waving their hands to try and hide their shame.

"I was outmatched in skill, and a minor conflict led to my elimination."

Once their headaches subsided, the two exchanged a glance, both noticing the awkwardness in each other's eyes.

"Which peak are you from? Sword Control Peak?"

Elder Hai asked curiously.

"No...it's not Yujian Peak." The two looked even more embarrassed.

"Oh? So that's Tyrant Blade Peak. Is it Lei Jingtong or Gu Zhen?" Elder Hai asked curiously, thinking of possible candidates in his mind.

"It's not a disciple of the Overlord Blade Peak, it's... a disciple of the Beast Taming Peak!"

The two men gave wry smiles, revealing lingering fear, and patted their chests.

"Beast Taming Peak?!"

Elder Cao and Elder Hai looked at each other, clearly taken aback.

"I haven't heard of any experts at Beast Taming Peak. Interesting... It seems this year's trial is going to be quite interesting."

Elder Cao's eyes flickered, and he lowered his brows, seemingly lost in thought.

.........

Above the steps, 1200 floors, 1300 floors...

Yu Changsheng continued walking until he reached the 1,500th floor, when he began to feel a bit of a blockage, but his speed did not slow down.

As you ascend the steps, the number of people around you visibly decreases.

After reaching two thousand floors, Yu Changsheng slowly stopped and looked at the person sitting cross-legged on the steps in front of him, his gaze slightly narrowed.

The man before me had a resolute face, was in his early twenties, and possessed a rugged and untamed air. Unexpectedly, he had a long beard tied up, wore a yellow robe, and had the unique insignia of the Badao Peak disciples hanging on his chest.

He dragged a large sword on the ground. The back of the sword was wide and thick, the blade was narrow and blunt, the edge was slightly curved and had a few cracks. The blade was long and coiled with dragon patterns. It was earthy yellow, vigorous and powerful, with spiritual energy flowing around it and faintly glowing.

Yu Changsheng knew this person; Miao Wenlun had introduced him to him. Among the disciples that each peak needed to be wary of was Lei Jingtong, the second-ranked outer disciple of the Ba Dao Sect.

Having cultivated to the peak of Qi Refining for many years, his swordsmanship was in no way inferior to that of Gu Zhen, the number one disciple of the outer sect; the only difference was his cultivation level.

Lei Jingtong sat there quietly, his expression calm and composed, as if the pressure around him had no effect on him. At this moment, he was staring at Yu Changsheng with curiosity in his eyes.

"Is there anything you need?" Yu Changsheng asked calmly, his expression unchanged.

"Impressive." Lei Jingtong's eyes gleamed brightly. He first praised Yu Changsheng, then exclaimed in amazement:

"First place in the Alchemy Competition, and also first place in the Beast Taming Competition. To have reached such a level in less than a year since entering the field is truly a gift from a person of extraordinary talent."

"Look at how you can maintain such a posture at this level. You are indeed extraordinary. I didn't expect that Beast Taming Peak would have such a genius disciple besides Miao Wenlun. It's just a pity. You should have come to our Tyrant Blade Peak."

After saying that, Lei Jingtong looked at Yu Changsheng, slowly shook his head, and looked at him with regret.

"What are you trying to say?" Yu Changsheng frowned slightly.

"Yu Changsheng, if you were still at Ba Dao Peak, with your talent and my consistent appreciation for geniuses, I would have done my best to protect you. It's just a pity..."

Lei Jingtong spoke slowly, seemingly with some regret, but the hand gripping the knife hilt was gradually tightening.

"What's your relationship with Huang Suyu?"

Yu Changsheng frowned, guessing the visitor's intentions. He took a slight step back, mobilizing his cultivation to be on guard against Lei Jingtong.

"I owe Huang Suyu a favor from years ago, and I was entrusted with this task. But don't worry, I won't take your life. I just want to fight you."

As Lei Jingtong spoke, he slowly stood up, his fighting spirit growing stronger, like a blazing flame.

"I saw your performance on the thousandth floor just now. I wouldn't stoop to teaming up with those three idiots. I, Lei Jingtong, still have my own pride."

"I'm quite curious about what makes someone so special that even an arrogant guy like Huang Suyu would take them seriously."

Yu Changsheng's expression gradually turned solemn. With a wave of his hand, the Crimson Serpent and the Golden-Winged Eagle appeared beside him, ready for battle.
