Chapter Seventy-Eight: Penance, Comeback, and Shock
After making his decision, Ling Aotian recuperated for another ten days, and only after his body had fully recovered did he begin to seriously cultivate the Seven Heaven-Conquering Realms left by the Blood Venerable.
Cultivating the Seven Absolute Heavens is not difficult for Ling Aotian, when he first entered the cultivation, he relied on the advantage of the Xuan Ling Body to master some of the sword techniques of the Seven Absolute Heavens, and now he has practiced the follow-up sword moves, which can be said to be handy, but in a month, he has completely mastered the basic moves of the Seven Absolute Heavens, of course, the comprehension of sword moves, it is a long-term accumulation process, then it is not something that can be achieved overnight.
After completing the Seven Heaven-Conquering Perfections, Ling Aotian was not in a hurry to leave, because of the previous series of battles, his cultivation had reached the verge of breaking through, and with a month of penance, it was time to break through.
It took nearly another twenty days for Ling Aotian's cultivation to successfully break through to the peak of a fifth-level powerhouse.
Rumble!
The remnant sword emitted a sword light, smashing a boulder in front of him into several pieces.
Ling Aotian put away the remnant sword with satisfaction, and there was a confident light in his eyes.
It's time to go to the grudge between the knot and Han Jiantao!Ling Aotian stood up and said to Lu Hao, who was bored on the side, "Lu Hao, let's go!"
It has been two months since the last battle in front of the city, and during this time, the major mercenary groups have not completely given up the search for Ling Aotian, but because the place that Green Hazy is looking for is extremely hidden, they have not been able to find it, just when Ling Aotian and Green Hazy appeared, the mercenaries in charge of finding out the news immediately discovered their whereabouts, and passed the news to those mercenary groups who still did not give up as soon as possible.
As soon as they received the news, the major mercenary groups rushed to stop them before Ling Aotian could go to find Han Jiantao.
Looking at the nearly 100 teams composed of elites from the major mercenary groups in front of him, a cold light flashed in Ling Aotian's eyes.
"It seems that you still don't give up?" Ling Aotian didn't have the slightest affection for those mercenary groups who repeatedly came to find trouble, and his voice was full of murderous intent.
For Ling Aotian's murderous name, all the major mercenary groups had heard of it, and at this moment, the hundreds of mercenaries all avoided his gaze.
"Ling Aotian, you are rampant, today is your time of death!" Finally, a voice came from the group of mercenaries.
Because they were afraid of Ling Aotian's strength, hundreds of mercenaries were not in a hurry to make a move, and this voice undoubtedly became a fuse that triggered the war, and along with this voice, all the mercenaries clenched the weapons in their hands.
A cold light flashed in Ling Aotian's eyes, and at this moment, he already understood that someone must be secretly inciting these mercenaries to deal with him.
Knowing that the other party deliberately induces these mercenary groups to fight with him, if he still fights with them stupidly, wouldn't it be as the other party wished?
At this moment, Ling Aotian suddenly made a stunned movement, and at the moment when that voice just fell, his feet were a little on the ground, and the Heavenly Remnant Step instantly reached its limit, rushing towards the more than a hundred mercenaries like lightning.
All the mercenaries were stunned, they couldn't have imagined that Ling Aotian would have such courage to face more than a hundred of them, he would rush over single-handedly.
Maybe it's a human psychology, when others don't care about fear, even if they are on the strong side, they will subconsciously produce a kind of fear, and the moment they saw Ling Aotian rushing towards them, all the mercenaries subconsciously took a step back.
It was this step taken by the mercenaries that made Ling Aotian rush to the mercenaries who had spoken out earlier with great ease.
Just as Ling Aotian thought, that mercenary was indeed instructed by someone to provoke a battle between Ling Aotian and several major mercenary groups, and after he said that, he was secretly proud, wanting to see a big battle break out, but he didn't expect that at this moment, Ling Aotian had already appeared in front of his eyes.
When he saw Ling Aotian's fierce gaze full of murderous intent, the mercenary's head slammed to the ground, and the whole person was stunned, he never expected that Ling Aotian would find him so directly.
The mercenary was extremely clear about Ling Aotian's murderous name, and the moment he saw Ling Aotian appear in front of him, even though he was already a fifth-level powerhouse, he didn't have the slightest fighting intent, and retreated in a panic, wanting to avoid Ling Aotian's attack.
Ling Aotian already had the intention to kill his prestige, how could he let him retreat so easily, the moment the mercenary retreated in a panic, Ling Aotian's speed increased a few points again, and he forced him over.
The rusty remnant of the sword appeared in front of the mercenaries.
The name of the remnant sword that conquered the sky had already spread out during the fierce battle in front of Ling Aotian's city, and at this moment, the eyes of all the mercenaries fell on the remnant sword in Ling Aotian's hand.
No one knows the origin of the remnant sword, but since Ling Aotian's battle in front of the city, everyone has already given the remnant sword in Ling Aotian's hand a resounding name, Capture the Sky!
Under the gaze of all the mercenaries, the remnant sword emitted a dazzling sword light, and stabbed straight at the mercenary who was provocative.
A mercenary who had no intention of fighting, how could he dodge the attack of Ling Aotian, who was stronger than him, just when the mercenaries were still trying to see the true face of the mercenary, Ling Aotian's remnant sword had already pierced into the mercenary's chest.
"Ahh
A scream of panic and terrible screams hit the hearts of everyone present.
After the successful blow, Ling Aotian was no longer among the mercenaries, and in the afterimage after the Heavenly Remnant Step was cast, he returned to the place where he had stood before.
The remnant sword is raised horizontally, and the tip of the sword is still bleeding!
Ling Aotian's gaze swept over the mercenaries who were still sluggish.
"I'm not afraid of a battle, but I don't want to be taken advantage of!" Ling Aotian was afraid to face all the mercenaries, and a cold voice came out.
All the mercenaries were stunned, at this moment, they seemed to understand the meaning of Ling Aotian's previous actions, he didn't want people to be used as gunmen, so he took the opportunity to kill the mercenary who made a statement.
Although they understood what Ling Aotian meant, those mercenaries did not breathe a sigh of relief because of this, on the contrary, at that moment, they all had such an idea in their hearts: they must not provoke the young man in front of them.
Indeed, in the previous situation, even if they knew the other party's intentions, how many people had the courage to take the enemy's head under the watchful eye of the enemy?
"You guys, do you want to fight?" Under the vigilant gaze of the mercenaries, Ling Aotian's voice sounded again.
To fight or not to fight, has become a difficult choice for the mercenaries, they came to the door with great momentum, if they do not retreat without a fight, they will definitely make their reputation suffer a big blow and become the laughing stock of everyone, but if they fight, what kind of consequences will be, none of them know, if they want to deal with Ling Aotian with more people, I'm afraid it's not that simple, these mercenaries are the elite of the major mercenary groups, and the weakest strength is also at the level of the early stage of the fifth-level fighter, and the strongest is a few people, and they have reached the early stage of the sixth-level fighter, but they don't think that with them, they have enough chance of winning against Ling Aotian。
"Fight! or retreat!" Ling Aotian's gaze continued to scan the mercenaries' bodies, and the cold killing intent emanated in an instant.
At this moment, as long as those mercenaries had the intention to make a move, Ling Aotian was bound to launch the most fierce attack, making those mercenaries pay the price of blood.
Under Ling Aotian's fearless momentum, the mercenaries, who had originally lost in momentum, began to lose their fighting spirit.
Finally, several mercenaries of a mercenary group, after a long sigh, began to retreat.
With this beginning, other mercenary groups also made moves, but in about ten minutes, the hundreds of mercenaries on the field retreated, and there were only about twenty people left on the field.
"You want to fight?" Ling Aotian frowned, the already restrained killing intent was released again, if the other party didn't know how to advance or retreat, he didn't mind killing the other party.
However, just as Ling Aotian was about to make a thunderous move, one of the mercenaries stepped out of the group and blocked in front of those mercenaries.
Ling Aotian looked at the mercenary who appeared in front of him expressionlessly, and did not speak.
"Brother misunderstood, I'm just here to pass the word. The mercenary spoke up before Ling Aotian could make a move.
"Passing the word?" Ling Aotian frowned.
"The sword is traceless!Brother should be no stranger, right?" The mercenary was worried that if he didn't tell the truth again, Ling Aotian would immediately make a move and quickly speak.
"Sword Without a Trace, what did he say?" Ling Aotian didn't have much ill feeling towards Sword Without a Trace, so when he heard the mercenary mention Sword Without a Trace, his expression eased.
"The tip of the iceberg!" the mercenary said something that made Ling Aotian scratch his head, and then he didn't say anything more, clasped his fist at Ling Aotian, and then left with the remaining twenty or so mercenaries.
"The tip of the iceberg!" Ling Aotian frowned and began to think about the meaning of the phrase Sword Without a Trace.
Could it be that the strength of the Han family was far more than what he saw, reminding himself not to rush into trouble with Han Jiantao? After thinking about it, Ling Aotian thought of a possibility.
"Hmph, since it's the tip of the iceberg, then I'll cut off the exposed corner!" After only a moment of silence, Ling Aotian's eyes showed a look of determination.
For Han Jiantao, he already had the intention of killing, even if it would cause more trouble, he was not afraid.
After making up his mind, Ling Aotian said to Lu Hao beside him, "Lu Hao, let's go!"
After strongly deterring the mercenary group that came to provoke, Ling Aotian never encountered any more obstacles, but within a few days, Ling Aotian and the little three-headed demon lion appeared in the border pass town again.
It's time to wrap it up!
