Chapter 139: Sunset True Disciple

This tall figure was naturally Wang Yu, who had taken advantage of the woman's distraction and carelessness to rush over with lightning speed.

With Wang Yu's current immense physical strength, added to the bonus of the Black Tiger Breathing Technique, even an ordinary punch felt like a heavy strike from a giant hammer.

The slender woman was shocked and pale. It was too late to dodge, so she could only flip one hand, suddenly producing a massive black shield to take the punch head-on.

"Boom!" A sound like a bolt from the blue arrived.

The woman only felt a heat in the palm holding the shield, and an irresistible giant force slammed into her, sending both her and the shield flying directly away.

She flipped her body repeatedly in the air, barely stopping her figure six or seven zhang away. But she felt the web between her thumb and forefinger shatter, and half her body was numb, completely losing all sensation.

Fortunately, Wang Yu did not pursue, which made the woman's heart relax for a moment, but the next moment, her figure suddenly stiffened.

Three cold, flashing flying knives were simultaneously pressing against her three vital points: the back of her head, her neck, and her waist. The sharp tips of the blades even made her feel a trace of icy coldness, causing her hair to stand on end.

"I concede!"

The woman immediately shouted.

Seeing this, Wang Yu smiled slightly. Only then did he use his Gold-Pointing Technique ability, beckoning to the three flying knives, which immediately transformed into three streaks of cold light and flew back.

Although these three willow-leaf flying knives were not inscribed with any spirit patterns, the material used was refined iron. Added to the fact that they were as thin as paper, they were sufficiently light and sharp, making them perfectly suited for channeling the sensing power of the Gold-Pointing Technique.

Seeing this, the Confucian scholar above naturally announced Wang Yu's victory, but his gaze toward the slender woman carried a hint of strangeness.

Outside the restriction, many people were in an uproar.

They were not questioning Wang Yu's victory, but were greatly surprised by Wang Yu's ability to drive three willow-leaf flying knives simultaneously.

Not to mention that Wang Yu was not in the late Qi Refinement Stage; even if he were truly using an artifact-controlling technique, it would be impossible to drive artifacts so flexibly and swiftly. Otherwise, how could the slender woman have been controlled without noticing?

Many people looked at Wang Yu with shocked and suspicious eyes.

"What you just used wasn't an artifact-controlling technique, was it? Could it be a sword cultivator's method? What kind of secret technique is this?" In the martial arts arena, the slender woman also asked Wang Yu, unwilling to accept the result.

"A sword cultivator's method? How could that be? It's just a small, clever secret technique. On the other hand, Fellow Daoist, you are a disciple of the Thousand Bamboo Sect, right?" Wang Yu replied vaguely, asking a question in return. Then, after letting out a long breath, his body returned to normal amidst the white, misty air waves.

The mention of a sword cultivator by this woman immediately reminded him of the Hengjiang sword in his storage bag.

"Hmph, if you won't answer me, why should I answer you? Besides, you destroyed my artifact; how are we going to settle that account?" The slender woman remembered her black fur artifact that had been destroyed and couldn't help but feel heart-stricken.

"Hehe, since this is a real competition, the destruction of an artifact shouldn't be blamed on Wang. On the other hand, this shield artifact of yours is not bad; it was able to take my punch without being destroyed. I can help you repair it for free." Wang Yu replied indifferently.

"What? My shield needs repair?" The slender woman was stunned. She looked down at the black shield in her hand, only to see that on the seemingly hard shield surface, there was an extra, incredibly clear punch mark, as neat as if carved by a knife.

She couldn't help but gasp. When she looked up again, Wang Yu was already soaring into the air, flying toward his stone platform.

This made the slender woman's chest feel tight, and she almost vomited blood from anger.

Just then, Liu Ming in the high sky suddenly opened his mouth slightly, saying something silently.

Hearing this, the slender woman frowned, then showed a look of helplessness, and also soared into the air, flying back to where her stone platform was located.

The head of the Xin family seemed not to care about the woman's win or loss, still approaching with a full face of smiles.

At this time, Liu Ming also transmitted his voice to Gu Lian and Wang Yu to ask a few questions, then announced to everyone in the high sky.

"This competition for the spirit vein spots ends here. The final winners of the spots are the Yu family and the Yin family. These two tokens are the credentials for your two families to move into the spirit vein; you must not lose them."

As soon as the words fell, he flicked his sleeve, and two jade-green tokens flew out, shooting toward the stone platforms of the Yu family and the Yin family respectively.

The head of the Yu family and Yin Linglong, amidst the envious gazes of the other family members, respectfully accepted the tokens, also unable to hide the excitement on their faces.

"Fellow Daoists of other families, there is no need to be discouraged. Later, our Thousand Bamboo Sect will release more spots one after another; you will still have the opportunity to move into the spirit domain. Alright, this competition ends here. Liu has other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first." After Liu Ming calmly said a few polite words, he flicked his large sleeve and flew away, transforming into a streak of light.

"Husband, after we go back, let's move immediately." Yin Linglong toyed with the token in her hand, saying to Wang Yu with full joy.

"You can arrange such matters yourself. After I go back this time, I'm afraid I will have to go into seclusion to cultivate for a period of time. I won't leave the sect again until I reach the late Qi Refinement Stage," Wang Yu said solemnly to Yin Linglong.

"Husband, rest assured. As long as the Yin family has the spirit vein, we can develop steadily. You should prioritize your own cultivation. If you can advance to the late Qi Refinement Stage, our Yin family will have even more confidence. If there is anything you need the Yin family to do, just send someone to transmit a message." Hearing this, Yin Linglong did not feel surprised at all, instead comforting Wang Yu.

"Hehe, the Yin family should still focus on collecting cultivation techniques and spells related to cultivators, and even miscellaneous books. The more of these books, the better for me." Wang Yu also gave these instructions without ceremony.

"Alright, as long as it doesn't affect the development of the Yin family, I will try my best to arrange for people to do these things. Eh, why are those two coming over?" Yin Linglong wanted to continue saying some intimate words to Wang Yu, but suddenly saw two people flying over, and was immediately surprised.

Wang Yu swept his gaze and also saw these two people; they were actually Gu Lian and Li Tianqi.

He didn't find it too strange that Gu Lian was coming over, but why Li Tianqi was coming over left him with a hint of doubt.

This man and woman landed on the stone platform almost simultaneously. After looking at each other, Li Tianqi, the beauty in the blue dress, asked Gu Lian with a face full of shock and suspicion:

"Gu Lian, I know why I felt your name was somewhat familiar. One of the top ten true disciples of the Sunset Sect, possessing the 'Essence Fire Body,' known as being immune to a hundred fires—why would you appear here? In the rumors, didn't you fail to break through to Foundation Establishment and disappear from the Sunset Sect long ago?"

Former Sunset Sect true disciple! Essence Fire Body! Immune to a hundred fires!

Hearing this series of titles for Gu Lian, even though Wang Yu had already made some guesses in his heart, he still couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on his face.

Yin Linglong beside him was even more shocked upon hearing this. ===== CHAPTER 140 =====
