First Encounter with a Golden Core Expert, an Invitation from the Holy Land
Suppressing her worries about Shi Qing's safety, Dongfang Yueming re-identified the direction.
[Regardless, let's return to the Dragon Firmament Academy first.]
He had made up his mind.
[I killed Shi Tianxiong, and the conflict between the Dragon Firmament Academy and Heavenly Star Sect will inevitably erupt sooner than expected.]
[Lin Bo'an gifted me the "Dragon-Elephant Suppresses Hell Art," which can be considered a good deed. Both out of courtesy and reason, I should go back and take a look.]
With a flicker, he transformed into a golden streak of light and sped off towards Dragon Firmament City!
However, he had only flown a hundred miles.
A delightful, curious laugh suddenly rang out beside him.
"Hehe~ Handsome young man, where are you in such a hurry? Where are you headed?"
Dongfang Yueming's heart skipped a beat!
He abruptly stopped, his powerful Divine Sense instantly sweeping across the surroundings!
Not far away, a woman dressed in a seven-colored Liuli dress, with an exquisite appearance and a lively and cheerful temperament like a girl next door, was floating in mid-air with a smile. Her big, curious eyes were blinking and looking him up and down.
Dongfang Yueming's heart leaped into his throat!
[So strong!]
[I didn't even realize... how she got so close!]
He looked at the seemingly harmless girl in front of him, but his heart was filled with unprecedented caution!
As he sized up the other person, a strange sense of familiarity arose in his heart.
[strangeness...]
How could she possess the aura of Shui Ling'er and Huo Ling'er?
[And... they do look somewhat similar...]
"Huh?"
Shui Yan'er looked at Dongfang Yueming, and a hint of surprise and delight flashed in her beautiful eyes!
[No way? No way?!]
[I just felt that the aura of that ' Heaven-Grade Dao Foundation ' phenomenon hadn't completely dissipated, so I came to check it out.]
[How... how could I have run into this?!]
[and...]
She scrutinized Dongfang Yueming closely, her shock growing ever stronger!
[This aura... there's no mistake! It's that ' Dongfang Ri ' who beat Ling'er and Yan'er into submission!]
[But... but that's not right! Didn't those two girls say he was just a ' Saint-Grade Innate '?!]
[How long has it been? He... he's already Foundation Establishment?!]
In an instant, Shui Yan'er's gaze towards Dongfang Yueming became incredibly ardent!
Like a glutton who has been starving for three days and three nights, suddenly seeing a table of unparalleled delicacies!
"Handsome young man!" Unable to contain her curiosity any longer, she darted forward and blocked Dongfang Yueming's path. "Don't rush off! Let me take a good look at you."
Dongfang Yueming frowned. He could sense that the other party had no intention of killing him.
But, absolutely no good intentions whatsoever!
He didn't want to get entangled with this person any longer. With a thought, he swung his spear backhand and thrust it fiercely into the Xukong!
"Ice Prison Dragon Spear!"
Instead of attacking Shui Yan'er, he chose to attack the Xukong beside her, attempting to use the power of this Perfection second-tier spiritual technique to force her back and buy himself time to escape!
However, when Shui Yan'er saw that lifelike, ice-blue dragon spear that exuded a terrifying chill, what flashed in her beautiful eyes was not fear, but rather an even stronger... surprise!
"Wow!" she exclaimed sincerely, "You've only just Foundation Establishment, yet you can already execute a mid-level second-tier spiritual technique to Perfection?! Handsome young man, your talent is a hundred times greater than I imagined!"
She smiled and extended a slender, fair finger.
He lightly tapped the Ice Prison Dragon Spear, a weapon powerful enough to level a mountain.
"Bite."
A soft sound.
That invincible dragon spear actually froze in mid-air!
Immediately afterwards, it shattered like an ice sculpture being broken, turning into countless ice crystals!
"Now, can you stay and have a good chat with me?"
Dongfang Yueming's heart sank to the bottom.
He knew that he had encountered an unprecedentedly terrifying and powerful enemy!
He no longer hesitated at all!
[Divine Ability: Dragon-Elephant Suppresses Hell]!
"Boom--!"
A terrifying force field, capable of suppressing eternity and destroying everything, erupted from his center!
"Huh?!"
For the first time, the smile on Shui Yan'er's face froze!
She could clearly feel an indescribable, terrifying force, as heavy as a mountain, descend upon her in an instant! Under the suppression of this force, the surging magical power within her body actually... showed a barely perceptible... stagnation!
Although, it wasn't intense!
But it was enough to make her pale with fright!
[Divine Ability?!]
[He... he actually comprehended Divine Ability at the very beginning of his Foundation Establishment?!]
[As expected of... Heaven-Grade Dao Foundation!!!]
At this moment, the way Shui Yan'er looked at Dongfang Yueming completely changed!
That's no longer just simple "curiosity" and "interest"!
Rather, they were determined to win!
"Handsome young man!" Her voice became incredibly solemn, filled with an undeniable domineering authority, "You must come back to the Water and Fire Sect with me!"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yueming's heart stirred.
[Water and Fire Sect?]
"That's right!" Shui Yan'er looked at him and said slowly, "I am the... true form of Shui Ling'er and Huo Ling'er. My name is Shui Yan'er."
She approached slowly, step by step, exuding a deadly allure that could drive any man mad.
"Handsome boy, stop resisting."
"If you're willing to come back with me, I can give you anything you want."
She stuck out her tongue and gently licked her rosy lips.
"Including... me, your older sister~"
Dongfang Yueming looked at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, whose allure was innate, his mind raced with calculations.
Her strength is unfathomable; she's definitely at the Golden Core stage!
Even if I were to master Major Accomplishment Martial Dao Divine Ability, I'm afraid... I still might not be her match.
[unless...]
