Yu Juluo said, "I suppose the likes of Pan An, Song Yu, and Wei Jie are no match for you, sir."

"General Yu, you flatter me. Should you make some preparations?" Lin Zhu was no longer bothered by the praise and the shocked reaction.

"No need to prepare, just watch how I defeat him today."

Ding Yanping snorted coldly, "Anyone can talk big."

The two sides worked in perfect unison, patting their pet pouches at their waists, and their two mounts flew out.

Yu Juluo's horse was a magnificent steed with its limbs wrapped in a gentle breeze. It was entirely silver-white, had a single horn on its head, and was named Shenfeng Guyueju. It was a perfect specimen and held the Yaori Longlin Ziri Baodao (Radiant Dragon Scale Purple Sun Treasure Sword).

Ding Yanping rode a silver-spotted leopard, about the same height as Shenfeng Guyueju, but more imposing, wielding two pistols.

Both sides took their stances, and Lingzhen made her move, and they quickly found themselves locked in combat.

This is a collision of ultimate power, ultimate skill, and ultimate tacit understanding.

In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged more than ten blows.

Ding Yanping's spear skills were superb, and Yu Juluo's swordsmanship was also unparalleled. The two fought for eighty rounds.

The surrounding earth collapsed, sword energy crisscrossed, and spear light scattered in all directions, making it difficult to distinguish between them.

Yang Lin's expression was grave. 'Ding Yanping's marksmanship has improved again, but Yu Juluo's strength is now greater than his.'

He thought about it and realized he was probably going to be at the bottom.

As for Wu Jianzhang, he doesn't count.

Chapter 899 Yang Jian's Intentions

Lin Zhu was also watching the battle closely, focusing on Yu Juluo. His swordsmanship was both expansive and precise, making it suitable for integration into his own swordsmanship.

As for Ding Yanping's dual pistols, Lin Zhu had never really had any experience with this kind of weapon that required the use of both hands, but learning it wouldn't be difficult.

It must be said that Ding Yanping's marksmanship is indeed impressive. Even though he is slightly inferior to Yu Juluo in strength, he shows no signs of defeat.

However, as the game progressed, Yu Juluo's power advantage became more apparent.

After 500 rounds, Ding Yanping was forced into a defensive position. By 800 rounds, the two had really gotten into a heated argument.

"This is bad!" Yang Lin said, "If these two continue fighting like this, one will definitely die and the other will be injured."

Having said that, he was about to rush forward and restrain the two of them.

Wu Jianzhang, equally unwilling to stand by and watch the two old men perish together, also spurred his horse forward.

Yuwen Chengdu suddenly woke up.

He had just watched the battle between Yu Juluo and Ding Yanping and felt an unprecedented state of mind, even vaguely seeing a peculiar way of using a weapon.

But it's still a bit blurry.

At this moment, he was using a gun, not a phoenix-winged gilded halberd.

Lin Zhu stepped forward and stopped Yang Lin and Wu Jianzhang.

The two men shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"

"You are no match for them, it's useless to go up there." Lin Zhu's expression was very calm, and then his figure appeared between Yu Juluo and Ding Yanping in an instant.

"Let go of me."

With both palms pushing out horizontally to the left and right, a dragon's roar resounded, unleashing two divine dragons that resembled clouds and water, containing the true meaning of the divine dragons.

This Dragon Palm technique was perfected after he had seen many dragons and spent some time refining it. It is a free-style technique and not very systematic.

Yu Juluo and Ding Yanping also let out a loud roar.

A manifested golden tiger battle spirit unleashed a blade of energy thousands of feet long.

The other pair of pistols gleamed with golden light, forming a silver leopard.

A hundred miles apart, the two dragons collided with the golden tiger saber's energy and the silver leopard's spear's light, respectively.

Lin Zhu single-handedly withstood the attacks of the two, causing a massive surge of power to erupt within a radius of hundreds of miles.

Yu Juluo and Ding Yanping, along with their horses, were both sent flying by the shockwave.

"Wow, what incredible power!" Yuwen Chengdu stared at Lin Zhu in the arena, speechless for a moment.

Yang Lin and Wu Jianzhang were also greatly surprised.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhu, who looks weak, actually possesses such formidable strength.

This is not the magic or magical artifacts commonly used by immortals, but a real clash of power through the circulation of energy in both hands.

In the far distance, Yu Juluo and Ding Yanping also felt incredulous.

Lin Zhu was definitely the strongest immortal they had ever seen.

They had also entered the Longevity Zone of Daxing City, but the longevity beings there were only comparable to them in terms of aura. If it came to a head-on fight, none of them would be their match.

Of course, only fools would try to fight against cultivators of military strategy; that would be like jade hitting a rock, completely unprofitable.

It would be foolish not to use magical powers, supernatural abilities, and magical treasures.

Of course, this doesn't include people like Lin Zhu, who have overwhelming strength to suppress everything.

After a long while, Yu Juluo rode back and asked, "Is Mr. Lin's strength above that of the God of War?"

Lin Zhu shook his head. "According to the realm, I should be considered a Battle King."

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Chengdu's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "How is that possible?"

Lin Zhu shrugged and said, "Nothing is impossible. There are many directions to cultivate, and that's how it is."

Faced with this answer, the five people remained silent.

After a long while, Yang Lin said, "Mr. Lin, please leave those one hundred Qi and Blood Pills with me. I will be back in a year at most."

"Why should I?" Wu Jianzhang shouted. "That's my Qi and Blood Pill!"

Faced with the improvement in strength, even the usually calm Ding Yanping couldn't sit still. "You two, stop arguing. Whoever exchanges first gets to keep theirs. What's the point of making a reservation?"

“That’s right, this is the fairest way.” Wu Jianzhang looked at Yu Juluo. “Old fool Yu, you stay in Daxing City this time, we’ll leave first. Perfect timing, didn’t you want to take this kid as your apprentice?”

"Agreed." Yang Lin raised both hands in agreement; having one less competitor was also beneficial to him.

Yu Juluo initially wanted to disagree, but after looking at the expressions of the three old men, it seemed that disagreeing was not an option.

Lin Zhu said, "Don't worry, the three of you. I can still refine the Qi and Blood Pill, as long as you can provide enough Blood Savage Beasts."

Upon seeing this, Yu Juluo quickly said, "In that case, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, the other three old men quickly stopped him, saying, "No, the four of us cannot leave Daxing City at the same time."

“That’s right.” Ding Yanping and Wu Jianzhang echoed Yang Lin in unison.

"Fine, fine, you guys go ahead." Yu Juluo's expression was slightly unpleasant. He should have known better than to bring these three guys along; they were practically discarding them after they had served their purpose.

Yang Lin and his group immediately abandoned their plans to return to Daxing City, turned around and split up, heading in three different directions.

Yu Juluo originally wanted to give Lin Zhu a ride.

But Lin Zhu was also going hunting, so he declined his offer.

If Yang Lin and the other two wanted to exchange for it, they would need one hundred fourth-grade Dragon Tiger Blood Qi Pills. He didn't have that many on hand, so he had to refine them on the spot.

If you don't have the materials, you'll have to find them yourself.

Fortunately, Blood Beasts of War King level are relatively easy to find.

On the other side, Yu Juluo took Yuwen Chengdu back to Daxing City and then accepted him as his disciple, but did not announce it to the outside world.

To be honest, he also looked down on Yuwen Shu.

If it weren't for Yuwen Chengdu's exceptional talent in military strategy, he wouldn't have wanted to take him on.

The following day, Yang Jian noticed that Yang Lin, Ding Yanping, and Wu Jianzhang, the three pillars of the state, were absent from the morning court session, which puzzled him greatly.

Just like the fish that disappeared more than a year ago, it vanished without a trace.

After the court assembly, he summoned Yu Juluo to inquire about the situation.

Yu Juluo replied, "Your Majesty, my brothers Yang Lin, Ding, and Wu have all gone out of the city to hunt the War God Blood Beast."

"Hmm?" Yang Jian was somewhat puzzled. "Logically speaking, the Blood Beasts shouldn't be a major threat to our Great Sui Dynasty. Why is this the case?"

Yu Julu then explained the reason.

Yang Jian said, "You mean there's an immortal who has refined a martial arts elixir that can further enhance your strength?"

Yu Julu shook his head, "It can increase strength, but it cannot take it any further."

Yang Jian thought for a moment, since this immortal being named Lin Zhu was proficient in alchemy, could he help him and Dugu Jialuo achieve immortality?

So he said, "Brother Fish King, could you take me to visit this gentleman?"

“This…” Yu Juluo hesitated for a moment before saying, “This humble subject also does not know when he will be able to return.”

After thinking for a moment, Yang Jian said, "It's alright. I'll have someone go and check around that gentleman's shop later. If he has returned, I'll send someone to inform Brother Fish King."

"Your Majesty's considerations are thorough."

Since Yang Jian had already put it this way, he couldn't refuse to take him along.

Chapter 900 The Flower Shadow Reappears

Hunting down several Blood Beasts at the War King level was a piece of cake for Lin Zhu.

A giant red elephant, a bloodthirsty serpent, and a multi-eyed creature.

Among them, the Multi-Eyed One is a dragon species with more than a hundred eyes. Each of those eyeballs is a good material for refining acquired spiritual treasures.

One hundred and twenty-eight low-grade acquired spiritual treasure-level recording devices were immediately crafted.

This might come in handy someday.

It took him about half a year to hunt down the Blood Beasts and refine a low-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

Yu Juluo of Daxing City almost forgot Yang Jian's instructions.

Just then, someone from the manor came to report that someone from the palace had arrived.
