Chapter 232: Chapter 232: The State of Heavenly People_1

Thud!

Master Baiyun’s palm wind slammed into a boulder, which instantly crumbled to dust.

Ling Xiao hadn’t moved from start to finish.

Because he had analyzed through his Mountain and River Martial Soul that Master Baiyun’s attack trajectory wasn’t aimed at him.

Behind the boulder, a figure flashed into view.

Dressed in black, the figure was covered in dust, looking slightly embarrassed.

He probably hadn’t expected Master Baiyun to employ a feint.

"Hahaha, Uncle Baiyun truly retains the sharpness of his blade, to have discovered your junior."

As the person revealed himself, True Essence vibrated lightly, and the dust on his body was immediately gone, restoring his dapper appearance.

At this moment, a silver moon palace emblem on his clothing became distinctly exposed.

He appeared to be no more than thirty years old, his face adorned with a smile, yet his eyes held traces of anger and embarrassment.

"Why have you come again!"

Master Baiyun’s complexion turned somewhat unsightly.

He had actually sensed someone spying from the side earlier and had just taken the opportunity to vent his anger.

Ling Xiao had killed Zuo Leng, and he indeed was incredibly furious, even wishing he could smash him with a palm.

But even with his favoritism, he still had some bottom line, ultimately unable to bring himself to do it.

What’s more, Zuo Leng was already dead. If Ling Xiao died as well, his loss would be great.

After all, he only regretted not being able to prevent this life-and-death battle in the first place.

Ling Xiao, of course, didn’t know what Master Baiyun was thinking and had no interest in finding out; he was shocked that this man in black had been near him and yet he hadn’t detected him, which showcased the man’s formidable strength.

Remembering that some time ago, he had heard from a young servant that someone had injured Master Baiyun, he reckoned it must have been this man without a doubt.

He quickly moved away a distance, and then in his mind suddenly emerged the figure of the blue-dressed woman he had encountered in the Fulong Mountain Range.

The reason for this was that both the blue-dressed woman and this man bore the silver moon palace emblem.

Could they be disciples from the same sect?

The moon palace emblem?

Moon Hua Sect!

Master Baiyun was also a disciple of the Moon Hua Sect, which would make sense!

"It’s the same old saying, Uncle Baiyun. You are getting on in years, and it’s truly a waste to keep such talented disciples to yourself; why not give me a couple of them? I won’t ask for much, just two."

While speaking, the black-clothed man’s gaze lingered on Ming Tian and Ling Xiao for a moment.

Clearly, those he wanted were Ming Tian and Ling Xiao.

"There’s no need to bring this up again. I’ve already said they’re all my disciples. They will surely enter the Moon Hua Sect; there’s no need for them to be apprenticed under you!"

Master Baiyun waved his large hand, saying decisively.

All eleven disciples including Ling Xiao felt somewhat nervous at this moment; this young man who had suddenly appeared was probably stronger than Master Baiyun.

Otherwise, given Master Baiyun’s character, he would have acted by now and definitely would not have stopped without doing anything.

"What if it is to become disciples under my master?"

The man in black said with a smile.

"Your master?"

"Yes, my master. He and Uncle Baiyun entered the Moon Hua Sect at the same time, but it seems you’re somewhat limited in talent, having reached only the Transcendent First Realm to this day. However, three years ago, he had already broken through the shackles of the Transcendent Nine Realms and successfully ascended to the Heavenly Man Realm."

As he said this, the man in black wore an extremely smug expression, looking at Master Baiyun with more than a hint of mockery and disdain.

As for whether his words would anger Master Baiyun, he seemed not to care at all.

Because he was stronger than Master Baiyun, and his master was even stronger.

"What! He has actually ascended to the Heavenly Man Realm!"

Master Baiyun’s body shook violently, his complexion turning deathly pale, clearly unable to accept this reality.

"That’s right, after my master was promoted to the Heavenly Man Realm, he successfully became an elder of the Moon Hua Sect and now has a very strong influence within the sect!"

The man in black seemed to find it insufficiently stimulating and thus continued to speak.

Master Baiyun’s face grew even darker.

He was acutely aware of what it meant to be an elder of the Moon Hua Sect, and even more aware of what the Heavenly Man Realm implied.

If his disciple entered the Moon Hua Sect and caught the eye of this person, trouble would be unending.

"Now, does Master Uncle Baiyun understand my good intentions? If the two of them go with me, my master can overlook past grievances and spare your other disciples."

The man in black smiled as he spoke.

"Hmph, I refuse to believe the Moon Hua Sect would let him do as he pleases without check!"

Master Baiyun snorted, seemingly regaining a bit of confidence.

He might not be enough, but his disciple was a genius!

"You truly are stubborn. Since I can’t have them, I will cripple them now to avoid complications after their Initiation."

A very simple principle; if Ming Tian and Ling Xiao were not yet disciples of the Moon Hua Sect, killing them would be straightforward.

But once the two joined the Moon Hua Sect, it would incur a lot of trouble, possibly even involving internal sect struggles, which would be exceedingly complex.

Thus, the man in black wanted to kill Ling Xiao and Ming Tian, and now was the best opportunity.

As soon as his words fell, he rapidly closed in on Ling Xiao, ready to deliver a lethal strike.

However, the man in black did not anticipate that

a Martial Master of the late stage of the Martial Vein Eighth Layer would sense the danger before he could even move and swiftly dodge.

What?

He uttered a sound of surprise, and just as he was about to continue the chase, Master Baiyun had already pounced forward.

"If you want to kill them, you’ll have to get past me first!"

True Essence flowed atop Master Baiyun’s palms as he fully displayed close to ten levels of strength, attempting to strike with full force and slay the man in black on the spot.

"Now that’s strange. Weren’t you uncle just thinking of killing this youngster?"

Faced with Master Baiyun’s full-force strike, the man in black actually revealed a smile. He continued to speak while casually raising his hand, and a sinister energy abruptly erupted, clashing head-on with Master Baiyun’s attack.

Boom!

The terrifying aftershock exploded, instantly reducing a pavilion on the Cliff of Life and Death to rubble, and the residual force shaved the ground level.

Fortunately, the others knew the fearsome power of a battle between warriors of the Extraordinary Sacred Realm and quickly moved away to a safe distance; otherwise, they would have been pulverized by this terrifying force.

Whoosh whoosh!

Bang bang!

Crack crack!

After the unsuccessful hit, Master Baiyun did not stop but continued with a series of attacks, his body suspended in mid-air, completely different from warriors below the Transcendent Realm.

For usual warriors below the Transcendent Realm, being able to stay in the air for a moment was already quite impressive, but for a Transcendent Warrior, hovering in the air for a quarter of an hour was no problem as long as their True Essence was sufficient.

Of course, there were exceptions.

That would be someone like Ling Xiao.

But after all, he was a one-in-a-million monster and could not be judged by common standards.

The two great Transcendent masters continued to exchange blows mid-air while the ground below occasionally emitted explosive noises. Almost the entire Cliff of Life and Death became a world of rubble and dust.

A perfectly good mountain was thus gradually being leveled.

"Terrifying!"

Ling Xiao maintained his Soul Entry state all along. His Soul Power was now extremely strong, and even if he stayed in the Soul Entry state continuously, he could sustain it, though at a great consumption.

However, the current situation was urgent, so he couldn’t care about that much.

In the Soul Entry state, only he could see the nuances of the combat clearly.

"Not good!"

Ling Xiao noticed that Master Baiyun was clearly at a disadvantage in their exchange. Initially, due to the surprise attack, he had a slight upper hand, but now he was wholly at a disadvantage.
