The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 142 Xiang Qiubai

Just as the withered old man was stunned, a swift stream of purple light shot from the sky above and into a cave platform atop Qiaojian Peak...

"Finally... back!" Ling Weiyun's clone murmured, looking up. The person who had just passed by was none other than Leng Ningshuang.

The earlier accident was caused by the clone subconsciously increasing the force on its hand when it sensed the return of the main body.

From the moment they fell, in the short time that has passed, Feng Ling and Leng Ning Shuang have already reported to the Jade Purity Sect Master.

"Who!?" There was a platform thirty meters to the upper left of Ling Weiyun's clone, and on the platform stood an arrogant man in white robes, who had appeared at some unknown time.

With a deafening crash, rocks flew from the steep cliff face, and when the thick dust dissipated, the withered old man was nowhere to be seen.

"Damn it, where is he?" The white-robed man sheathed his sword, stepped forward to sense the surroundings carefully, and frowned when he discovered that the withered old man below, who had been behaving suspiciously, had suddenly disappeared.

"Young man! You're looking for me?" A faint, aged voice came from behind him. Xiang Qiubai was startled and turned around quickly, unleashing a palm strike.

"Bang!" A fierce palm wind and violent purple lightning collided violently. The ear-piercing explosion subsided immediately after the collision, and the two powerful fighters were forced to retreat at the same time.

"You thief, you're acting suspiciously! I'll take you down first!" After taking three or four steps back, Xiang Qiubai steadied himself and drew his sword again, roaring as he charged forward.

At the same time, he was secretly surprised. He was at the peak of the late stage of the tenth level of cultivation, yet his opponent only took a step back after exchanging blows with him!
"Hmph, outrageous! Trying to arrest someone without even knowing the facts!" Ling Weiyun's clone, who had lost all goodwill towards him, immediately turned cold and rushed forward to meet him.

These so-called core disciples have always been arrogant and aloof. Now that they've been bullied on their own, Feng Ling naturally can't tolerate it any longer. "I'll teach this madman a lesson today!"

With a loud "bang," the withered old hand, carrying even more violent lightning, rushed forward and gripped the tip of the sword tightly.

"This sword energy is truly strange, it's like the wind but not quite the wind..." The withered old man was quite surprised at the moment of contact, and couldn't help but increase his strength, fully revealing his half-step legendary power.

"Pfft...!" Metal has strong conductivity, and the white-robed man whose sword tip was stuck on the other side immediately changed his expression. He only gritted his teeth and held on for three seconds before giving up.

"Half-step Legendary...!" Xiang Qiubai, who was staggering backwards with his sword and spitting blood, revealed a trace of horror in his eyes. The closer his cultivation got to that step, the more obvious his sense of that aura became.

"Old man, who exactly are you? What are your intentions in infiltrating my sect?" Knowing that he was no match for the semi-legendary old monster in front of him, Xiang Qiubai was on guard while his brain was working at high speed, considering how to find a breakthrough.

Compared to the "prohibition of private fights" among inner disciples, the Jade Purity Sect's control over core disciples in this regard is much more relaxed.

The main reason is that some of the elders of the Nine Revolutions Sect were selected from the core disciples who had passed the test of the tenth level of the Ghost Locking Tower. As long as the two who challenged each other did not kill each other, they could do whatever they wanted. Even if they were seriously injured, it didn't matter, since they were simply outmatched.

Therefore, it was common for core disciples to fight on Qiaojian Peak. In order not to be affected, they all tacitly set up a soundproof spell outside their own cave dwellings.

This means that Xiang Qiubai cannot seek help from the other core disciples who are in seclusion. Now he can only rely on himself!
"Young man, never look down on an old man!" The old man stepped forward calmly, trying to put on a gentle yet wicked smile. His strange appearance made him seem quite sinister no matter how you looked at him!

"What...do you want to do?" Xiang Qiubai felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the other party's malicious look, and he regretted his rash move.

They should at least have observed the situation first and then secretly notified the sect's higher-ups before making their move! Now look what happened—their bodies are left to rot in the wilderness…

"This feels like being stared at by a venomous snake, it's so damn uncomfortable!" The withered old man approached step by step with amusement, while Xiang Qiubai retreated step by step with vigilance, his face even paler than the white robe he was wearing.

"Elder Ling, show mercy!" Suddenly, a purple streak accompanied by a cold female voice rang out, causing the withered old man's lips to twitch. Is this your way of asking me to show mercy?
However, despite thinking this, Ling Weiyun's clone still quickly withdrew and retreated, because he recognized the voice of the person who came, and the clone subconsciously did as he was told.

"Bang~...!" As a result, the icy sword energy missed its mark, causing the 30-meter circular platform to shake violently and scatter cold air everywhere.

“Whoosh…!” At the edge of the oscillating platform, Xiang Qiubai exhaled a long breath of turbid air, his eyes filled with apprehension as he looked at the old man and distanced himself.

As demonstrated by the experience just now, Xiang Qiubai was shocked to find that he actually felt a strange sense of oppression when facing this mysterious old man.

It's a notch above a semi-legendary, yet it's definitely not a legend, but rather strangely somewhere in between!
The term "half-legendary peak" is invalid because there is no such thing as half-legendary in the formal cultivation system. The so-called half-legendary powerhouse is actually just the perfected realm of the tenth stage!

"Miss Leng, why are you stopping this old man?" In the center of the morning cultivation platform, a cold and beautiful woman in white landed gently from the sky. The withered old man twitched his brows and pretended to be annoyed.

"Sorry, it was just a moment of panic!" The woman seemed rather indifferent, showing little interest in Ling Weiyun's clone. After a perfunctory bow, she turned directly to the white-robed man and nodded in greeting: "Second Senior Brother!"

"Junior Sister Ning Shuang!" Xiang Qiubai's eyes lit up with joy upon seeing Leng Ning Shuang appear. He flashed forward and pulled her behind him, then looked at the withered old man opposite him, whose face was full of doubt.
He said righteously, "Junior sister, run! Let your second senior brother hold off this old bastard for now! While I'm covering for you, hurry and inform Master and the sect leader to come!"

"Ahem, young man... I heard your entire plan!" Taking steps closer to the two people in front of him, Ling Weiyun's clone suddenly had an idea. "Today, none of you will leave here alive!"

"Hmph! That's not necessarily true. Let me show you my ultimate move..." The white-robed man unleashed an astonishing burst of energy, preparing to unleash his signature technique.

Writing is like a child, sometimes joyful, sometimes sorrowful, constantly reminding us of what we have given up and what we have gained.
