"A junior dares to do this!"

At this moment, Huang Se, who was in the Qingyun Great Hall, could no longer hold back. He made his move. After two disciples in a row were defeated by Ling Tian, he felt he had lost face. With a loud shout, a terrifying pressure descended upon Ling Tian.

"Whoosh!"

The pressure forced Ling Tian back several steps. He gripped his spear hard to barely stay standing. He glared at Huang Se, who was approaching step by step, his heart growing more defiant. However, the terrifying pressure made him unable to even speak.

"Huang Se Peak Master, you're bullying the young and weak, and you still have the nerve to make a move." Yuan Ming was the first to be unable to watch, and he berated Huang Se. The other Peak Masters also urged Huang Se to stop.

"Just a small punishment, it won't harm him." Huang Se's face flushed, but he remained stubborn. Then he looked at Ling Tian and said, "Junior, are you convinced!"

"What is there to be convinced about?" Ling Tian fiercely bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a mist of blood, but his aura surged.

"Brother Ling Tian, you..." Hua Min'er's tears streamed down her face, and she was about to rush forward. However, she was held back by Yun Ying beside her. With her cultivation, she couldn't break free from Yun Ying.

"Senior Sister Yun Ying, let me go. Brother Ling Tian is in trouble, and I want to be with him." Hua Min'er pleaded with Yun Ying, her tears mixing with the blood flowing from her bitten lip, making her look exceptionally beautiful yet filled with deep sorrow.

"What can you do to help him by going up there? Besides distracting him. Furthermore, Peak Master Huang wouldn't dare to kill him. Don't forget that Ling Tian has Senior Lingyun behind him." Yun Ying dared not let go of Hua Min'er and hastily tried to persuade her.

"I, I..." Hua Min'er heard Yun Ying's words and knew her senior sister was right. She stopped rushing towards Ling Tian but still looked at him anxiously, her eyes brimming with tears, making her look pitiable and lovely.

"Min'er, don't cry, I'm fine." Ling Tian forced himself to turn his head, giving Hua Min'er a reassuring look. However, due to the distraction, the pressure on him doubled, and he even spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Brother Ling Tian, you..." Seeing Ling Tian spit blood, Hua Min'er felt as if her heart was being twisted by a knife. However, she knew she couldn't disturb Ling Tian and quickly shut her mouth.

"Hmph, stubborn fool, it seems I really need to show you some real power." Huang Se saw that Ling Tian was still defiant and increased the pressure slightly.

Ling Tian felt anxious, the pressure growing with each passing moment, threatening to crush him. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he remembered that bow. He fiercely thrust his spear into the ground. With great effort, he channeled a wisp of his consciousness to connect with the bow and arrow. The bow and arrow finally appeared in his hands. He drew the bow with all his might, nocking the arrow and aiming it at Huang Se. A powerful killing intent surged towards Huang Se, and Ling Tian felt a significant relief.

Meanwhile, Huang Se saw Ling Tian drawing his bow and felt a terrifying danger emanating from the depths of his soul. He broke out in a cold sweat and hastily circulated his consciousness, summoning his Natal Dan Artifact to face Ling Tian.

The pressure on Ling Tian immediately intensified, and the bow and arrow began to show cracks. They were on the verge of collapsing under the terrifying pressure. Ling Tian felt disheartened, realizing his cultivation was too low. Even though his bow and arrow were superior to Huang Se's Natal Dan Artifact, Huang Se could easily destroy him with it.

"Hmph, who dares to harm my son? Huang Se, you have some nerve." At this critical moment, a voice that made Ling Tian incredibly excited rang out. He inwardly thought that his father had finally arrived. For the first time, he missed his father so much.

Ling Yun descended from the sky, standing between Ling Tian and Huang Se. His robes fluttered, and he looked like a god or demon. He waved his right hand, and a sharp killing aura, like a tangible entity, shot out from his Jade Flute towards Huang Se.

"Pfft!"

Huang Se immediately bled across the sky and slumped to the ground, his Natal Dan Artifact falling beside him, emitting a mournful cry.

"Thank you, Senior, for sparing my life." Huang Se struggled to get up and bowed deeply to Ling Yun, defeated.

"Hmph, I'll spare you today. This debt will be settled when my son grows up and deals with you himself. Scram!" Ling Yun flicked his long robe and berated Huang Se.

Huang Se could only smile bitterly. What could he do when he was outmatched? He could only be helped up by his disciples and hobble away.

"Father, I've embarrassed you." Ling Tian lowered his head and looked at Ling Yun with deep guilt.

"Heh heh, Tian'er, it's not your fault. You encountered a powerful enemy, and your tenacious defiance is already excellent. Cultivation can be improved, but this spirit of defiance is the most precious." Ling Yun praised Ling Tian highly.

"But, but I still lost. If it weren't for you, Father, I'm afraid I would be dead." Ling Tian felt dejected.

"Heh heh, do you think dying is that easy? Don't forget what's inside you..." Ling Yun said, pointing to Ling Tian's dantian.

Ling Tian naturally understood what his father meant. Just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Hua Min'er, who rushed over.

"Wuwu, Brother Ling Tian, you scared Min'er to death." Hua Min'er hugged Ling Tian, tears streaming down her face. She was still terrified, feeling as if she had almost lost Ling Tian forever.

"Silly girl, don't cry. Didn't you promise me?" Ling Tian looked at the crying Hua Min'er, his heart aching. He tenderly wiped away her tears.

"Min'er, Min'er only cries for you." Hua Min'er's face flushed crimson, but she still looked at Ling Tian intently and said resolutely.

Ling Tian's heart warmed at her words, but he still said, "Silly girl, I won't let you cry again in the future. Alright, alright, you should be happy today. Stop crying."

"Mhm, Min'er won't cry." Hua Min'er looked at Ling Tian and stopped sobbing. Thinking of his words, "I won't let you cry again in the future," her heart was filled with happiness.

"Min'er, I'm afraid I can't spend the day with you today. I need to go back and heal my injuries. Here, this is a gift for you." Ling Tian's heart sank. His injuries were severe, and his father had already given him several urgent glances. He reluctantly took out the small box and the small sword.

"Mhm, Brother Ling Tian, you should go back and rest well. Uncle Ling Yun, please take Brother back quickly." Hua Min'er heard that Ling Tian needed to heal and hurriedly urged him to leave. Then she looked at Ling Yun pleadingly.

"Mhm, little girl, you are quite good. I will do my best, don't worry." Ling Yun smiled slightly, then his gaze shifted, signaling her to accept the gifts Ling Tian had given her.

Hua Min'er's face flushed, and she quickly accepted the gifts. Ling Yun summoned his Jade Flute, helped Ling Tian up, and then transformed into Mysterious Light, flying away, leaving only a stunned Hua Min'er watching Ling Tian disappear.
