185 THE WILL

Long Tao no longer wanted to indulge in conversation. “Should we take them as hostages?”

“I don’t want to, but the matter at hand seems to require that we do need to understand the backstory behind his fountain.” Long Tao decided to try his best to hold back.

Qin Weng was asked to be the tank, while Long Tao would provide the support. Both the siblings were adept in offensive attacks. Just to throw them off guard, did Long Tao took the initiative to go first. Qin Weng’s hammer dropped down on the siblings and they were surprised to experience the strength contained within it. Even the two of them together couldn’t handle a single swing.

Long Tao attacked the sister with a curved slash, which managed to inflict a minor cut on her left hand. The siblings rushed back to create some distance between the two parties, but how could Long Tao let it happen? He too rushed in with them.

Qin Weng was continuously swinging heavy blows with the hammer, mostly concentrating on the weaker link between the two. Although sword-user did has an upper hand in offensive attacks, the art he practiced seems to require adequate space to use. ” Continue using the hammer attacks. The sister seems to be an ice-element practitioner, while I am not sure about the other guy.”

“Should I start using thunder attacks?”

“Let us continue with the current pace, I wills tart using thunder and fire elements to confront the sister. The boy would sooner or later come around and show his true power.”

.........................................

Su Menqi was facing a completely different situation as of now. The threads she was absorbing were small collections of frost energy. This was the first time she came into contact with such a huge amount of frost energy. The ice-jade body was devouring the threads non-stop, but Su Menqi couldn’t get any control over it.

.....

She was finding it difficult to stay focused and adapt herself to the situation. It took a long time before she finally adjusted her body to the cold energy. Her cultivation was rapidly rising. Although she was just a level 5 Qi general before, she could feel herself getting closer to the border of level 6.

Soon enough the barrier was broken and she successfully stepped into level 6. The speed of devouring increased even more. Lu Ming was observing from the side, couldn’t help but notice the incredible speed of absorbing frost energy.

” you shouldn’t be so surprised. Unlike you, her body type is a single element based, hence it doesn’t need to care about, maintaining a balance within various elements. It’s quite natural that her speed is so rapid. The resources here could easily help her reach Qi king level, even upgrading her base by 3-4 levels in that domain.”

It felt like a jolt to Long Tao. He was still in the seventh level of Qi General, and Su Menqi might as well be a Qi King by the end of this adventure. He didn’t find any benefit in possessing such diverse and powerful body types.

“Your true strength is way beyond your level of cultivation, and you still complain about the benefits you get from cultivating the heavenly scriptures. You can easily fight with someone at level 3 of Qi king while still being at level 7 of Qi general. You shouldn’t eat more than you can chew.”

By the end of the day, her cultivation base was already at the border of level 6 Qi general. A sudden increase in the devouring rate marked her first steps into level 7. Su Menqi didn’t budge from her place and continued to cultivate.

The siblings couldn’t help but notice this phenomenon. The girl who was in level 4 of Qi general, already stepped into level 7.

“She must be possessing an ice-element body, just like your sister.” The brother couldn’t help but speak out.

“Her body is superior in quality to mine. I can feel the energy being radiated from it. The familiarity could only be exerted by the body I am desiring to achieve. It is the ice-jade body.”This came as a shock to the brother. The objective with which they had ventured into the mountains was to let his sister obtain the ice-jade body by cultivating within the frost fountain. But the girl before them was someone who already p[ossessed it.

“We need to report this to the master. This girl is a supreme talent and should become a disciple of our sect.”

” We can capture and take her with us.” The brother said.

“You still don’t seem to understand the situation. Getting distracted while in a fight with me.” Qin Wen finally lost his cool. He began using the thunder arts which complemented the hammer attacks. A single swing managed to create a crater around the space, and deflect the siblings to a far off space.

This managed to bring the siblings back to reality. The opponents they were facing at the moment were no joke. Even though either of them was at level 7 of Qi general, they don’t seem to be gaining the upper hand. The enemy party was unharmed, while they were covered in blood.

The girl started using frost arts. An instant boost in power was soon observed by Qin Weng. “You finally decided to go serious. I would be leaving the guy to brother Long.” Qin Weng forced the girl into another corner of the hall.

...........................................

“Both of you are quite talented. Why don’t we stop the fight here and we could recommend the four of you to our sect. I am sure you could easily gain a disciple position similar to the two of us. The girl behind you might even become a hereditary disciple of the sect-master, who is constantly n search of ice-element body types.”

The girl spoke up to Su Menqi. “You must be possessing the ice-jade body.”. Su Menqi was visibly shocked and thrown out of her meditative state. How did the two people find out about her secrets?

‘the two of you seem to be quite knowledgeable. Since you found her secret out, I would have to execute you now. I hope you have a safe journey in the afterlife.” Long tao began using the full power of his meridians. A single clash managed to send the boy flying. He banged into the wall, and his left bone seemed to be broken.

The girl was shocked to see the state of her brother. She was about to go to his rescue when a single slash by long tao stopped her. ” I guess I need to get a bit serious too.” Long tao began to use his sword intent. A huge beast formed behind Long Tao. Being a sword cultivator the brother instantly recognized the sword intent.

The duo facing them was no less talented than the girl. Both of them began to utilize his maximum power, but Qin Weng and Long tao couldn’t fall behind. Each strike could easily take care of a genuine level 1 Qi king. The siblings were being forced back into a corner.

‘I guess we need to use it.” The girl took out a talisman.

“You need to stop her from using that. It must be a talisman containing the will of a cultivator much more powerful than you. To be able to project his consciousness so far, he must be in the emperor level.”

Both Qin Weng and Long Tao rushed at the sister, but the brother faced them in a final moment confrontation. Although he was shot out flying and got inflicted with a serious injury, the girl did manage to use the talisman and a will was soon projected in the surroundings.

...................................

“Who dares to harm my students?” A huge pressure instantly enveloped the hall. Long tao found it difficult to breathe. Lu Ming used the full strength of his beast flame to protect Su Menqi.

“Do We have a way to confront this will?”

“I am an emperor grade artifact boy. A meager will can’t stand my wrath. I need some time to break it. Just hod out for a second.”

The siblings bowed to the figure. “We are currently situated in the Frost hall. There is a group of people who managed to enter the hall through a false pathway. Who tried to fight them, but they are way out of our league. One of them even holds the legendary ice-jade boy which the patriarch is looking for.”

The figure seemed shocked and inspected the four figures standing opposite to his disciple. He was surprised to find that even while being in the level 7 of Qi general, these two managed to destroy his disciples. The most prominent figure was Su Menqi’s. It was without a doubt the ice-jade body.

“I give the four of a single chance. Give up and accept me as your master, after which you would be escorted to the sect where you will be trained, or I will kill you immediately.”

..................................

‘How much longer do I have to hold out?”

“It’s almost done.”

LonG tao looked at the f8igure and said in a mocking tone. ” We would like to reject your proposal.” The figure instantly raged out, but a sudden jolt pushed him back. There seemed to be another power in play.

Seeing that his consciousness was slowly being wiped out, he instantly got hold of his disciples and rushed out.”

The Keeper alerted LonG tao about the consequences of staying here for a long time.

“You should enter the lake and start cultivating. The real body of the will might rush here at any moment.”
