Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 700: Passionate Young Master, Murong Lingfeng

Shui Lingling did not show any fear when facing two loose cultivators of the Evil Cultivator Ranking’s top fifty. A red light occasionally flashed on her pretty face in the darkness. She looked calm and fearless.

Old Man Gu Mu and the middle-aged man exchanged glances. Shui Lingling felt somewhat unfathomable, so they did not dare to make a careless move.

This was especially so because of Shui Lingling’s bow, which daunted both Gu Mu and the middle-aged man. It appeared to be a Holy Weapon passed down from the Immortal Epoch.

“Old Man Gu Mu, why are you still hesitating? Fortune comes hand in hand with risk. This kind of fattened lamb is hard to come by. If we take that purple bow to the black market, we will be able to sell it for an astronomical price, even more than what these Blood Crystals are worth,” the middle-aged man said, projecting his voice to Gu Mu.

Gu Mu remained standing upside down on the ceiling and smiled coldly. “In that case, you can attack first. After that, I will only take forty percent, you can have sixty.”

This old man is still as crafty as ever, the middle-aged man complained to himself before coming to a decision. “I’ll count to three, and we can attack together.”

“Very well.”

The dark cavern fell strangely silent. The air seemed to have turned solid as if a great battle would start at any moment.

Hu Hai and the others sensed something fishy. So they all raised their guard to the fullest, tightly gripping their weapons.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

Just when the two counted to three and were about to attack, loud footsteps came from the back of the cavern.

Gu Mu and the middle-aged man quickly suspended their attack. Having gained experience with their age, they did not wish to let others take advantage of their fight.

The moment this group of people appeared, Xiao Chen noticed them. The person leading them was a young man in blue robes. He had a handsome countenance and held a folding fan in his hand, looking very elegant.

Four beautiful maids, each with her own merits, followed behind this person. The four girls seemed like their cultivations were not weak, on a level similar to Hu Hai.

When Chen Xiao and the others saw this person, they were somewhat astonished. Clearly, this person had great backing.

Jun Si said softly, “Unexpectedly, the Passionate Young Master, Murong Lingfeng, is here as well.

Murong Lingfeng, the heir of the Rank 9 Murong Clan, was as famous as Shui Lingling in the Tianwu Domain and was also one of the seven giants.

Because he was a philanderer and had managed to chase several famous beauties in the Tianwu Domain, many people had nicknamed him the Passionate Young Master.

Other men definitely did not welcome Murong Lingfeng. Not only had this fellow managed to chase the goddesses of their hearts, but he would also drop them at a moment’s notice, never satisfied. Who knew who would be his next target?

Gu Mu and the middle-aged man exchanged glances, both feeling shocked. Unexpectedly, another young half-Sage appeared.

It looked like the two’s plan to monopolize the Medial Grade Blood Crystal origin would not work.

Murong Lingfeng raised his hand, and the four maids behind him stopped, not going anywhere near the red light on the ground.

He casually looked at the situation before him and more or less guessed what was happening. Then, he waved at Shui Lingling.

After that, Murong Lingfeng smiled and said, “Let’s cut the crap. The four of us will work together to kill the Demonic Blood Wolf and split the Medial Grade Blood Crystal origin equally.

“Otherwise, if more people arrive, we will only end up getting less.”

Naturally, Shui Lingling did not object to this. Unlike the loose cultivators, who lacked resources and needed the Blood Crystals to get them, she only needed to give Xiao Chen and the others a few.

Gu Mu and the middle-aged man thought for a long time before saying, “Deal.”

“Good, then let’s kill this Four-Headed Demonic Blood Wolf together!”

“Xiu! Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!”

Suddenly, four brilliant lights flashed in the dark cavern, illuminating the cavern. The intense energy fluctuation startled awake the sleeping Demonic Blood Wolf lying on the ground.

However, with four half-Sages working together, no matter how powerful the Four-Headed Demonic Blood Wolf was, it was destined to have only one last look at this world.

Gu Mu turned around and used his Quintessence to imitate a tree branch. Then, he instantly grabbed a wolf head and sent his potent, wood-attributed Quintessence into the wolf head.

The wolf head exploded with a loud ‘bang’ and splashed blood everywhere. The middle-aged man sent out the image of a human skull, and a strong baleful aura spread out, exploding a wolf head as well.

Murong Lingfeng waved his fan, launching a sharp crescent-moon-shaped Quintessence that chopped a wolf head off the neck.

Shui Lingling had the easiest time. She gently drew back her bow, a red light flashed, and a wolf head burst immediately.

Lights flashed. With four half-Sages working together, the Four-Headed Demonic Blood Wolf did not even have a chance to resist, dying immediately.

The group landed in front of the Blood Crystal origin, and Gu Mu said excitedly, “Good. It is time to split the Blood Crystals. As agreed, we will split it evenly four ways. I’ll go first.”

The middle-aged man also relaxed, waiting to split the Medial Grade Blood Crystals.

“Boom!”

However, just at this moment, the situation changed. Shui Lingling and Murong Lingfeng both did not hesitate to strike at the same time, sending sharp attacks at the two older men.

Murong Lingfeng gently waved his fan, and his figure flashed, charging at the middle-aged man.

Shui Lingling held up her bow, and a sharp blade came out of each end of the bow. Then, she charged at Gu Mu.

The expressions of Gu Mu and the middle-aged man changed drastically. They had not expected the two of the younger generation to break the bridge after crossing it, betraying them immediately.

[Note: Break the bridge after crossing it: This means to abandon one’s benefactor upon achieving one’s goal.]

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Sounds of intense energy fluctuations reverberated in the vast cavern. Strong Quintessence ripples spread out, and the ground shook without stopping.

As this was a fight between half-Sages, the others could not interfere. They all retreated to a side, tightly clutching their weapons in case they needed to jump in and help out.

Gu Mu had tremendous wood-attributed Quintessence. When he waved his hand, he caused all sorts of trees to sprout out of nowhere, germinating many branches.

If one was not careful and got trapped by a tree branch, dealing with it would be difficult when the wood-attributed Quintessence invaded one’s body.

Shui Lingling executed a strange Martial Technique as she held her bow. The purple bow became very lively in her hands.

The blades at the two ends of the bow easily chopped off the tree branches coming over. They could not get near her at all.

The attacks of the branches failed to affect Shui Lingling. Instead, she forced Gu Mu to retreat.

Gu Mu said furiously, “These two fellows are really tired of living. After our decades of inactivity, they have become so arrogant.”

On the other side, the middle-aged man’s situation was no better than Gu Mu’s. Murong Lingfeng’s Movement Technique made him faintly indiscernible. As he waved his fan and moved around, he sent out crescent-moon-shaped Quintessence.

Murong Lingfeng shattered all the ethereal human skull images the middle-aged man sent out. Then, using his Movement Technique, he drove the middle-aged man back.

“You brats, don’t push things too far. When we came out into the world, you were not even born yet,” the middle-aged man shouted furiously.

However, Shui Lingling and Murong Lingfeng smiled without saying anything. They just did not care.

The two old men on the Evil Cultivator Ranking had not bothered to look at their current situation carefully. After being inactive for several decades, they thought that the Tianwu Domain was still the same as it was before.

It did not occur to them that after several decades, no one would care about them.

In the present Tianwu Domain, the famous seven giants were enjoying their heyday. They were all outstanding geniuses, cultivators with imposing attitudes and great achievements.

These youths became famous and ranked highly on the Proud Son of Heaven Ranking. In less than ten years, they had killed countless loose cultivators.

Gu Mu was ranked forty-ninth on the Evil Cultivator Ranking, and the middle-aged man was ranked fiftieth. With such a high ranking, the Martial God Palace’s rewards for killing them would be generous.

Loose cultivators committed all sorts of evil deeds. People who ranked highly on the Evil Cultivator Ranking were definitely not good people. Killing them would be a meritorious service.

If Shui Lingling and Murong Lingfeng met these two loose cultivators on their own, they might not have attacked. After all, it would be harder to fight one against two. However, in one-on-one combat, there was no reason to hesitate.

This was how strong the seven giants of the Tianwu Domain today were. Having already surpassed several cultivators of the older generation, they did not fear them.

No matter how unsatisfied Gu Mu and the middle-aged man were, no matter what they shouted or how they struggled, Shui Lingling and Murong Lingfeng did not say anything, breaking every attack sent at them. The two giants suppressed these two older men, not giving them any openings.

Astonishment fill the faces of Hu Hai and the others when they saw this scene. Unexpectedly, the two loose cultivators in the top fifty of the Evil Cultivation Ranking were beaten into such sorry states.

“Ka ca!”

The middle-aged man, who was slightly weaker than Gu Mu, gave out first. The Passionate Young Master cut off his left arm with a swing of the fan. Blood poured out like a fountain as the middle-aged man screamed in anguish.

Shock appeared on Gu Mu’s face. If the middle-aged man died, Gu Mu would not be able to survive should Shui Lingling and Murong Lingfeng catch him in a pincer attack. Thoughts of fleeing sprang up in his heart.

“Withered Wood Gains New Life!”

Gu Mu roared loudly and executed his best move. Suddenly, his lethargic body burst forth with a burgeoning lifeforce.

His aura increased, and Quintessence filled his body. Ripples spread out in the air, producing a heaven-shaking howling.

It was like Gu Mu had been revitalized. His strength immediately increased by about thirty percent.

As Gu Mu was previously, he had already been a half-Sage. Suddenly, he grew thirty percent stronger. Then, he sent out a palm strike and knocked back the unprepared Shui Lingling.

Gu Mu took this opportunity to flee quickly. Then, his creepy voice resounded, “Little girl, this old man will repay the grudge from today ten times over in the future.”

When such a heaven-defying Martial Technique like Withered Wood Gains New Life was executed, there would be strong side effects. If the user did not take ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Herbs for increasing Qi and blood immediately after, the technique would shorten their lifespan. Gu Mu already did not have much of his lifespan left. If he did not have any fortuitous encounters after using the technique, he would die within a few years.

Based on this, one could easily imagine Gu Mu’s hate for Shui Lingling.

“Scram!” action

Hu Hai and the others, who were in Gu Mu’s way, quickly moved aside with rather rebellious expressions when they saw the extremely angry and strengthened Gu Mu.

A full-power attack from a half-Sage could already injure them severely. Now that Gu Mu’s strength had been augmented, how could they dare to block him?

Gu Mu’s figure flashed, heading quickly for the exit. As long as he left the cavern, he would succeed in escaping.

Gu Mu could not help but release his bated breath. However, when he reached the cavern entrance, he discovered a white-robed Xiao Chen blocking the way, looking at him expressionlessly.

“You are seeking death!”

Seeing a mere Medial Grade Martial Monarch daring to block him, Gu Mu immediately sent out a palm strike.

“Pa! Pa!”

A thunderous explosion came from the palm wind. Gu Mu’s vast wood-attributed Quintessence kicked up strong winds. He became like an ancient majestic tree angrily stretching out its branch, trying to split Xiao Chen in half.
