Battle Through the Heavens: I Am the Righteous Path

On the street of the ancient clan's main city, Lingquan was squatting in mid-air, holding a hammer in one hand and a nail in the other, hammering the plaque in front of him over and over again.

The ability to walk in the air, which is only possessed by Dou Zong level, is used to repair the plaque. I don’t know whether to say it is convenient or funny.

Soon, Lingquan finished repairing the plaque, jumped down, wiped the sweat off his hand and looked at the shop owner.

"Auntie, I have fixed the plaque for you. Is there anything else you need help with?"

"No more, no more." The lady boss handed me a bowl of water. "You must be tired after squatting there for so long. Drink some water."

"Thank you."

Lingquan reached out to take it, drank the bowl of water in one gulp, and then returned the bowl to the proprietress.

"Since there is nothing else, I will take my leave now."

Lingquan clasped his fists in salute, then turned and left. Looking at his back, the proprietress held the bowl with a look of emotion on her face.

A week ago, the Third Army was still disliked by everyone, but ever since the leader Yang Hao was replaced, the Black Annihilation Army of the Third Army was like a different person. They were both polite and courteous in their words and deeds. They really changed their bad impression of the Third Army with their actions, and this was all thanks to the new leader named Xiao Yan.

It’s a pity. I heard that Xiao Yan is only temporarily taking over the position of the third commander. I wonder if the third army can still maintain its status after he leaves?

The proprietress shook her head slightly and turned back to the store. On the other side, Lingquan was searching on the street with the task list.

These task lists were collected by Xiao Yan and his men from house to house every evening to see if there were any difficulties, and then they would be assigned to deal with them the next day. Each person was assigned three to five tasks every day, and they could not go to bed at night until they finished the tasks on their lists.

"Today's mission is finally completed"

Lingquan made another mark on the task list, confirmed the location of the last task, put the task list away, and walked slowly on the street. When pedestrians and merchants along the way saw him, they raised their hands and asked questions to him, and Lingquan responded one by one with a kind face.

Before, they didn’t care about the attitudes of passers-by and merchants towards them. To be honest, they had a bit of a desperate and self-destructive mood in them. Anyway, things were already so rotten, so why should they care what other people thought?
But now the situation is obviously different. Others have begun to change their views on the Third Army, which has also made Lingquan and his group unconsciously start to pay attention to their own image.

It's incredible.
Lingquan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the past, when they walked on the street, passers-by and merchants would try to avoid them. When had they ever been so kind to them? As for actively greeting them, that was out of the question.

If they were forced to do voluntary labor due to Xiao Yan's strength, they are no longer so disgusted with it now. A big reason for this is the positive feedback they get from it. At least they are no longer like before when they would be looked down upon whenever they walk on the street.

As for the new commander Xiao Yan, Ling Quan was very scared at first, fearing that Xiao Yan would cause trouble for him because of the previous incident. But after a week of getting along with him, Ling Quan found that the new commander was really easy to talk to. Except for being unkind during training, he was no different from an ordinary person outside of training. He never used his power to oppress others, and never looked down on anyone. If Ling Quan hadn't known this in advance, he really wouldn't have believed that he was actually a Dou Sheng.

To be honest, this kind of boss is pretty good, apart from the training aspect.

When Ling Quan thought of Xiao Yan's training, he couldn't help but feel a chill. He really didn't treat them as human beings. The prescribed training content had to be completed every day. Even if Xiao Yan really exhausted his energy, he would just feed them pills and continue training after recovering his strength. There was no way he could end it as long as he didn't meet the requirements.

Compared with Xiao Yan's training method, Lingquan felt that their previous training was just like playing house.

Bang!
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard, interrupting Lingquan's thoughts, and then he heard noisy sounds coming from the street ahead.

"What did you do?!"

"Heh~ Even though you are useless, you are still wearing the uniform of the Black Annihilation Army. You are doing trivial things all day long instead of doing your job. You might as well spend more time improving your strength."

This voice is from the Second Army.
Ling Quan's expression froze, and he immediately hurried to the center of the noise. After passing through the crowd, he saw Lin Yu from the Third Unit crouching on the ground, with a broken cabinet scattered next to him. Opposite him stood three arrogant Black Annihilation Army soldiers. From their clothing, they could immediately recognize that they belonged to the Second Unit.

Lingquan also knew the man in the lead, his name was Gu Jin, the third captain of the second unit of the Black Annihilation Army, and his strength was that of a one-star Dou Zun.

"What happened?"

Lingquan entered the venue with a gloomy face. Lin Yu, who was squatting on the ground, was excited when he saw this. He forced himself to stand up and explain.

"Lingquan, I was just completing my daily tasks when he suddenly came over and attacked me without any explanation. He even broke the cabinet I just built!"

Lin Yu pointed at the cabinet on the ground and complained to Lingquan. Lingquan took a look and roughly understood what was going on, then looked at him with concern.

"Are you OK?"

"I am fine."

Lin Yu shook his head slightly, Lingquan raised his hand and patted his shoulder, then looked at the arrogant Gu Jin with a slightly cold expression.

"Gu Jin, what do you want to do?"

"Heh~ What else do I want to do?" Gu Jin spread his hands and said confidently, "Do you know who you are? The Black Annihilation Army. Why are you wandering around on the street instead of training properly? Do you have nothing to do?"

What Gu Jin said seemed to make sense, but Ling Quan knew very well that this was just an excuse. He had probably come to trouble them a lot before when they were not doing voluntary labor.

To put it bluntly, as long as Gu Jin wants to cause trouble, he can come up with any reason.

"Gu Jin, don't go too far." Ling Quan frowned and stared at Gu Jin, "We train every day. These things are just our daily routine in our spare time. It's not your turn to take care of it."

"Hey, yo? After not seeing you for a while, you seem to be a lot tougher, huh?"

Gu Jin looked at Ling Quan in surprise, then suddenly raised his foot and kicked Ling Quan in the abdomen, causing Ling Quan to step back two or three steps and kneel on the ground. Lin Yu was shocked and squatted beside Ling Quan with a worried look on his face.

"Lingquan! Are you okay?"

Gu Jin, the instigator, looked down at the trembling Ling Quan with a look of pride on his face.

"A mere outsider like you has the right to act tough in front of me?"

Gu Jin did not hide the contempt in his words, which made Lin Yu angry. He stood up and glared at him.

"you"

However, before he could finish his words, Ling Quan grabbed him. Then Lin Yu looked at Ling Quan in astonishment as he slowly stood up. Even Gu Jin was a little surprised.

He was kicked by me without any preparation, but he was able to stand up so quickly?
Although Lingquan, who was at the peak of Dou Zong, was only one level lower than himself, it was still the difference between Dou Zong and Dou Zun, and the difference was much greater than it seemed.

Lingquan was seen tense all over, trying to suppress the trembling in his body. He raised his eyes and stared at Gu Jin.

"If you don't have anything else to do, please leave here. We still have work to do."

"You say leave, so we leave? Who do you think you are?" Gu Jin grinned, standing there with his hands folded. "I'm standing here today, what can you do to me?"

Gu Jin's rogue look made Lingquan grit his teeth in anger. There was no need to think too much. If Gu Jin stayed here, they would not be able to complete their daily tasks today. This man would definitely make trouble. But this guy's strength was even higher than his, so using force would not work.

This bastard
Lingquan felt very resentful in his heart, but when he caught a glimpse of the disgusted looks that the crowd cast towards Gu Jin, his expression suddenly froze.

Were we also so hateful in everyone's eyes before?
The other party won’t listen to reason, and I can’t beat him with force, so I can only endure it silently.

It seems that we were a bunch of bastards in the past.
There was a slight gleam in Lingquan's eyes, and then he took a deep breath and stared at Gu Jin.

Ordinary people in the past had no ability to fight back against us, but I do have the ability to fight back against the guy in front of me, and this is also my luckiest thing.

"Gu Jin." Ling Quan stood up, turned slightly sideways, pointed a finger at Gu Jin, and said in a deep voice: "I want to challenge you!"

Ling Quan's words made the scene quiet instantly, and even Gu Jin looked at him in astonishment.

Is this guy crazy?

"Lingquan! What are you doing?!" Lin Yu grabbed Lingquan in panic and whispered in his ear, "This guy is a one-star Dou Zun, how can you beat him?" But Lingquan ignored Lin Yu's words and still stared at Gu Jin without the slightest deviation.

"Gu Jin, do you accept this challenge or not?"

After Lingquan asked again, Gu Jin came back to his senses and grinned.

"Yes~ Of course~" Gu Jin spread his hands and said with a smile: "But just challenging is boring. How about a gambling fight?"

"If you win, I promise not to bother your Third Unit again, but if you lose, you can crawl under my crotch, how about that?"

After these words were spoken, Lin Yu became angry and pointed at him and cursed.

"Don't bully others too much!"

"How can I be considered to be going too far? Wasn't he the one who first said the challenge? I just added some chips to it. Is there anything inappropriate about that?"

Gu Jin shrugged with an innocent look on his face. Lin Yu gritted his teeth and was about to say something else, but Ling Quan had already responded.

"Okay! I accept it!"

"Lingquan???"

Lin Yu stared at Ling Quan in a daze, but the latter ignored him, gently raised his hand to push him away, looked at Gu Jin and spoke.

"It would be bad if you hurt others. You are a Dou Zun, so is it okay for you to set up a space barrier around here?"

"Of course no problem, you two step back."

Gu Jin grinned, dispersed the two people behind him, waved his hand lightly, and four transparent barriers appeared, surrounding him and Ling Quan in the middle. He waved to Ling Quan casually.

"Let's start. I'll let you attack first."

Lingquan did not refuse. He let out a long sigh, bent his body slightly, stared at Gu Jin, raised his heel, and placed his front foot on the ground, shaking slightly.

then
Swish!
As Ling Quan's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam of light, Ling Quan's figure disappeared in the blink of an eye and was already in front of Gu Jin. Gu Jin also reacted extremely quickly, raised his arm and steadily blocked the iron fist that Ling Quan swung at him, teasing him in a very relaxed manner.

"Oh, good speed!"

However, although Gu Jin acted so relaxed, he was actually surprised by Ling Quan's speed just now.

This guy, I haven’t seen him for just a month, and his realm hasn’t improved much, so how come his speed has suddenly increased so much?
And the same goes for this power. It's only thanks to the fact that I'm a Dou Zun now that I can block it steadily. If it were someone of the same level, I might not be able to hold it steady. What's this guy eating?

Seeing that his attack missed, Lingquan gritted his teeth secretly, then suddenly turned around and swung his elbow at Gu Jin. Gu Jin also saw his action clearly, and instantly raised his palm to block, and at the same time kicked Lingquan in the side of the waist and kicked him out. Without giving Lingquan any chance to react, he rushed forward again, and his fists kept bombarding Lingquan like a storm. Lingquan could not get away and could only try his best to resist.

Outside the space barrier, Lin Yu looked at this scene, his heart filled with anxiety.

Anyone could see that Lingquan was completely at a disadvantage. Not to mention fighting back, he could hardly even hold out!
Gu Jin, who continued to attack Lingquan, had a solemn expression on his face. Although he had the upper hand, as the battle lasted longer, he became more and more surprised.

If it were Ling Quan a month ago, he would probably be lying on the ground unable to move. Gu Jin never expected that he could hold on until now.

But no matter how fast he progresses, he is still a Dou Zong after all.

A cold light flashed in Gu Jin's eyes, and he suddenly waved his hand to shake off Ling Quan's defensive hands, forcing Ling Quan to reveal the gap in his chest without reservation. Seeing this, Lin Yu screamed in horror.

"Be careful!!!"

At this time, Gu Jin's other hand had already been pulled behind him, aiming at Lingquan's chest and smashing it hard.

hum! ! !
The blow hit Lingquan right in the chest, making him feel like his heart was almost broken. His eye sockets bulged and blood spurted out of his mouth.

This was the result of Gu Jin holding back. After all, he was not that fierce. Causing a loss of life within the clan or among his colleagues in the Black Annihilation Army was no joke. If he had really used his full strength, Lingquan's heart would have been shattered into pieces by this punch.

"ended."

Gu Jin looked at Ling Quan coldly. He had already concluded that after this attack, Ling Quan would no longer be able to move.

However, just as Gu Jin was about to take his hand back, Ling Quan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his arm, which made Gu Jin slightly stunned, and he looked at Ling Quan with disdain.

"Hey, you've already lost, do you still want to entangle? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Lingquan didn't have any time to react to his words, and he uttered a word with difficulty from his mouth filled with blood.

"Eight"

"Ok?"

Gu Jin was stunned. Before he could understand what Ling Quan was saying, Ling Quan suddenly looked up and glared at him, his eyes bloodshot and full of madness, which frightened Gu Jin.

This guy? !

"Eight Extremes Collapse and Reform!"

As Ling Quan roared in blood, his muscles suddenly swelled. Gu Jin immediately realized that something was wrong and instinctively wanted to pull his hand back, but he found that Ling Quan's strength had increased several times for some reason, causing Gu Jin to miscalculate and fail to successfully retract his hand. By the time Gu Jin reacted and was about to increase his strength, Ling Quan's other hand had already slammed up against his chest.

"Baji collapse!!!"

boom! ! !
The powerful force instantly shocked Gu Jin's chest, forcing him back dozens of steps and crashing heavily into the space barrier he had set up. Unspeakable pain spread in his chest, and Gu Jin looked at Ling Quan, who was slowly falling, in disbelief.

I was hurt by this guy?
The people around were all looking at this scene in shock. No one had expected that Ling Quan, who was suppressed like that, could still fight back. And looking at the expression on Gu Jin's face, this attack really caused him considerable trauma!

As everyone was stunned, Gu Jin gradually came to his senses, and then his expression gradually became hideous and terrifying.

Was I hurt by him?

Was I hurt by him?

I, a Dou Zun, was actually injured by a mere Dou Zong? !
What a joke!
Gu Jin's eyes revealed murderous intent as he rushed towards Ling Quan, who was lying on the ground unable to move. The fighting spirit in his hands was condensed and he smashed it down at Ling Quan without mercy.

He didn't care about the troubles that might come from killing his colleagues. All he wanted to do was to kill Lingquan, who had embarrassed him, on the spot!

"stop!!!"

Lin Yu roared in shock, and even the two Black Annihilation Army soldiers who had been following Gu Jin and were watching the fun started to panic. It would be troublesome if Ling Quan really died at the hands of Gu Jin!
However, although they wanted to rescue people, the space barrier could not be broken at all for the time being. They could only watch Gu Jin about to kill Ling Quan. Despair was in everyone's eyes!

At this critical moment, the atmosphere in the field suddenly stagnated. Just when Gu Jin was about to kill Ling Quan with the fighting spirit condensed in his hand in the next second, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm, which startled Gu Jin.

"who is it?!"

Gu Jin turned around suddenly and saw a handsome man. Gu Jin wanted to pull his hand back, but found that no matter how hard he tried, the other person's arm didn't move at all. Then, in front of Gu Jin's horrified gaze, the handsome man easily dissipated the fighting spirit in his hand.

Then he opened his mouth calmly and slowly revealed his identity.

"I'm Xiao Yan, the acting commander of the Third Army. Seeing that the situation was about to get serious, I had no choice but to intervene to stop it." As he spoke, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Gu Jin, whose eyes revealed panic, and said slowly: "Please bear with me, sir." (End of this chapter)
