Chapter 1: The Seven-Colored Dragon Boat, Azure Pearl...

  "You are the disciples of Jing Shen, doing this, do you want to avenge Zhong Zhen and others?" After exchanging a glance with Cai Shu, Luo Bei looked at these four young men wearing dark clothes and said heavily.

  "What does that mean?" Xuan Wuqi and the others didn't understand why these four people were so rude, but the four young men wearing black clothes all felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, and their feet stirring in the creek water also came to an abrupt stop.

  Among the four, the oldest was a round-faced and fine-eyed young man named Hong Jing. The one with a pale complexion, thin eyebrows, and a sharp facial features was called Wen Ning Hou. Of the other two, the slightly taller one was called Song Zi Le, and the thinner one was called Ma Teng Long. These four were indeed disciples of the Shocking God Sect.

  Moreover, these four people were all one year senior to Zong Zhen and the others in Shu Mountain. The matter of Zong Zhen being robbed of his medicine by Cao Liu had also spread among the Jing Shen sect. These four people happened to be cultivating at Tian Reng Peak that day and knew that Luo Bei and Cao Liu would come to Bi Luo Valley, so they intentionally came to provoke them.

  It was just that none of the four had expected Luo Bei to directly point out their true intentions with just one sentence, as if he had seen through their hearts in an instant.

  Looking again at Cai Wei standing beside Luo Bei, although she appears to be a delicate and tender woman, she also seems to have the same aura as Luo Bei.

  This sentence alone instantly suppressed the air of the four people who were pretending to be nonchalant.

  "This Luo Bei and Cai Shu are indeed not to be underestimated. No wonder Zong Zhen has some skills, yet he was defeated by them."

  The leader of the four, Hong Jing, jumped up from his seat, laughing loudly, and his originally small eyes narrowed into a slit. "You're right, we came here to help Zong Zhen and the others get revenge."

  "As a superior, you rely on force to bully the weak. Have you forgotten the Shu Mountain Code?" Luo Bei glanced at Hong Jing and the others.

  "This Luo Bei has only just entered the door for less than a month, yet he already has such momentum." Being stared at by Luo Bei, Hong Jing and others unconsciously slowed down again. Even Gong Yang Jin Bo and Miao Mu, who had never seen Luo Bei confront anyone before, also felt this way.

  They didn't know that, unlike them, Luo Bei and the proud and aloof Yuan Tianyi were together, witnessing Yuan Tianyi's actions with their own ears and eyes. After going through several life-and-death tempering sessions, this unconscious aura was simply a natural revelation.

  "This is outrageous! We must use words to suppress him, otherwise we will be robbed of the momentum!" Wen Ninghou, who had a sharp gaze, looked at Luo Bei and thought to himself. He took a step forward calmly, "When you forcibly seized the medicinal herbs from Zong Zhen's group, did you not consider the laws of Shu Mountain?"

  Cai Wei glanced at Wen Ning Hou and didn't make any explanation, "Since you're here today, you must have thought it through. If you want something, don't waste words."

  "Alright, Cai Shu's sister, you're indeed quick-witted..."

  "You think you few are worthy of calling me 'sister'?"

  Hong Jing's words were cut off by Cai Yu's gentle interruption before he could finish speaking.

  "You!" Hong Jing's face turned white, and the joints of his fingers cracked a few times. "In that case, I won't waste any more words either. Today, we'll also make a bet with you. If you lose, leave behind the Bixiao Celestial Fruit in your hands and roll down the mountain empty-handed!"

  At this point, Xuan Wuqi and others still didn't understand what had happened between Cao Zhen and Luo Bei and the Sheng Shen Qun Feng disciples earlier, but seeing Hong Jing and others being so overbearing, Xuan Wuqi's eyes suddenly burst out with cold light, "What if you lose?"

  "This is the Xuanhuo Lei. We only refined it during our cultivation two days ago." Hong Jing flipped his palm, and a scarlet lacquer-colored bead, about the size of a pigeon egg, appeared in his hand. "Once thrown out, regardless of what it hits, it will immediately explode, engulfing an area of two zhang in radius with thunderfire, its power is not trivial. If you win against us, we'll give you four Xuanhuo Lei."

  "I agree." Xuan Wuqi nodded coldly and looked at Luo Bei and Cai Liang, "What about you?"

  "It's possible that in the future, there will be more boring people coming to find us and stir up trouble. These few pellets of mysterious fire may be ordinary, but they're better than nothing." Cai Su sneered, "What kind of bet?"

  "You can either fight alone or together, it's up to you. As long as one of us is defeated, we will consider ourselves losers!"

  "Really?"

  Before Cai Wu's words had fallen, a figure flashed by and she was already standing on the left side of Hong Jing!

  Suddenly taking action, Cao Yu, this seemingly delicate and elegant girl, is actually extremely decisive and resolute in her actions!

  Luobei held his breath, seeing clearly, just like the day he fought with Zongzhen, Cai Shu took only one arrow step and was already beside Hongjing. Unlike last time, Cai Shu's hand this time also brought up a bunch of green and oily young wheat.

  This time's momentum was even more powerful than before. As the lotus moved, it faintly produced a crackling sound that shattered the air.

  "The Great Way Directly Points to the Mystery of the Azure Void!"

  Hong Jing's narrow eyes flashed with a cold gleam, and a purple aura burst forth from his arm. "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three loud noises rang out as he stood still, only his upper body swaying slightly. In an instant, he had exchanged three blows with Cai Shu.

  A burst of blue and purple light exploded, Cai Zhu made a swift leap, retreating several steps, but Hong Jing did not pursue, the purple glow on his face flashed and disappeared, his complexion somewhat gloomy, "I didn't expect that you were directly granted the Great Way's Direct Pointing to the Emerald Void Technique!"

  "Has Cai Shu's sister already reached the stage where she can emit green light from her hands with the help of the Qingxu Secret?"

  Luobei was also shocked at the time. Although he wasn't clear about the subtleties of this technique, seeing this scene made him involuntarily think of when he had broken through while practicing Mahakala's secret method, and his hands had shone with golden light as he punched into the mountain stone. Luobei immediately realized that Cao Zhen's cultivation level was far higher than his own.

  "Hmm!" At this time, Cai Shu didn't say a word, but only let out a deep hum.

  Just a moment of hand-to-hand combat, Cai Shu had already grasped the technique, but Hong Jing's cultivation was different from theirs, it was the Zi Xuan Qi technique. This introductory technique that didn't belong to Mount Shu's important techniques was actually circulating in other sects around the world, and compared to the Great Way Direct Pointing Qing Xiao technique, it was a few levels lower, however, after just one try, Cai Shu discovered that Hong Jing's cultivation was much more profound than she had imagined.

  After three fierce battles, Cao Zhi's entire arm had gone numb from the shock of wielding his sword, and he unconsciously shrank it into his sleeve, trembling slightly.

  "Light is this grand view, even oneself may not be able to surpass."

  "Considering how confident he was earlier, the cultivation of the other three must be no lower than his. This time, it's likely to end in disaster."

  He let out a heavy hum, and Cai Shu's face also changed several times.

  "Concentrate your strength and fight one by one!"

  Xuan Wú Qí also sensed something was off and suddenly let out a loud roar, charging towards Hong Jing who had just exchanged three blows with Cai Shu.

  Miao Mu, Gong Yang Jin Bo and Ling Dong Shan also reacted instantly, jumping up together.

  "With such cultivation, can you still defeat us?"

  In the midst of a cold hum, Xuan Wuji only felt his vision blur for a moment. Hong Jing unexpectedly ignored them and brushed past them, making several loud noises as he intercepted Cai Shu. Before they could even react, Wen Ning Hou, who had let out that disdainful cold snort, suddenly appeared in front of them.

  "Bang!" Xuan Wuji only felt a flash of purple light, and a fist had already arrived in front of his eyes. In great surprise, he just managed to cross his arms to block in front of his face. A surge of great force came, Xuan Wuji only felt his arms suddenly numb and lost consciousness, his entire body also involuntarily stumbled backward five or six steps, unable to stop the momentum, and fell backwards into a small creek behind him, getting completely soaked.

  Miao Mu and Gong Yang Jin Bo were also hit in the chest with a punch, kicked in the calf with one foot, and knocked on the abdomen with an elbow, falling to the ground, their faces pale, unable to get up for a while.

  "Luobei, why aren't you moving yet!"

  Xuan Wuji was drenched from head to toe, his face burning with shame and anger. His eyes scanned the scene before him, and he saw that Lin Heng was already rushing forward, while Luo Bei still stood motionless. Suddenly enraged, Xuan Wuji bellowed out loud.

  "How come it seems like they're all progressing faster than me!"

  Luo Bei didn't notice until he saw Miao Mu and Gong Yang's silk fabrics fluttering upwards, their hands and feet emitting a faint blue glow. Their cultivation had advanced faster than his, which was why he was momentarily stunned. It wasn't until Xuan Wu Qi fell into the water, gasping for air and shouting loudly, that Luo Bei snapped out of it. However, when he looked around, he saw that Cai Shu had been entwined by Hong Jing, and Wen Ning Hou had instantly knocked down Xuan Wu Qi's three companions. It was clear that their side couldn't win.

  With a loud "bang", Cai Su was forced to exchange blows with Hong Jing again, but Hong Jing only stumbled backward. However, Cai Su couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, his face turned pale, and his hands seemed unable to lift up. "A useless person like you also wants to fight?" At the same time, Wen Ning Hou kicked out with one foot, striking Cheng Hang's back, causing him to lose balance. He stumbled forward, falling flat on his face, and instantly had several bloody gashes on his cheek.

  "Stop!" Luo Bei's blood rushed up, a loud noise in his mind, and his temples throbbed violently.

  "What's wrong, scared?" Wen Ning Hou looked at Luo Bei with disdain, saying, "Or are you going to admit defeat and give up the Bixiao Immortal Fruit?"

  "Luobei!" Jumping out from the creek, Xuan Wuqi's hands trembled uncontrollably as he let out a thunderous roar, "If you admit defeat, don't think I'll ever call you my junior brother again!"

  "Surrender?" But Luo Bei didn't even look at him, his eyes fixed on Wen Ning Hou and the other three in front of him, saying word by word, "You guys want to fight, I'll fight you! One against four!"

  "Luobei, have you gone mad?" The exhausted Cao Liu couldn't help but exclaim, but what made her tremble all over was that after Luobei spoke those words one by one, he stretched out his hand and pointed, "But not here, fight there!"

  Along the direction Luo Bei pointed, everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath.

  One Blade Heaven!

  What Luo Bei was referring to was a precipice that was only two feet wide, with cliffs on both sides that were thousands of meters deep! This hundred-meter-long precipice was a unique and extraordinary sight, like the work of ghosts and gods, exclusive to Tian Reng Peak.

  Just now when everyone went up the mountain, they had already passed by and seen that there was no support on either side of the cliff, only a narrow space where one person could stand, not even as thick as an ordinary wall. Just looking from afar made people's hearts tremble with fear, let alone the fact that it was also extremely windy at the top of the mountain.

  To walk on this cliff's precipice is like walking on a knife's edge in mid-air!
