Chapter 555: Sufficient Preparation
Translator: DavidT Editor: DavidT, Rock
Ling Chen who was by the door walked to Ling Tian slowly and leaned on his shoulder . Looking at both Ling Jian and Li Xue, she could not help but chuckle and said softly, ”Young n.o.ble, since everything has been prepared, you should give the order . Ah'Jian has always looked down on ladies and after losing to me previously, he remains unresigned in his heart up until now . It would also be a good thing for sister Li Xue to show him her prowess . She can show him what it means for there to always be someone more powerful than him!” The second half of her words were said to Li Xue .
Li Xue broke out into a bright smile and she intentionally swept her gaze past Ling Tian's face before saying confidently, ”Younger sister Ling Chen, I will definitely make you satisfied today! A while later, I will show this master a.s.sa.s.sin how a pig head is created . Master a.s.sa.s.sin Ling, First Pavilion Master, it seems like you are already addicted to drinking goldthread water…”
Ling Jian replied with a smirk, ”It is still undecided just who will be the one drinking the goldthread water! What is the point of bragging at this moment?!” Following that he shouted, ”Men!” Following which, Ling Chi, Ling Lei and Ling Dian entered together carrying a large tub of water, dried leaves, and nine huge bowls!
The three of them gave a respectful bow to Ling Tian before busily getting to work . Their actions were extremely well-coordinated and they must have practiced before this for sure . It seems like Ling Jian was truly well prepared . Not only did he prepare the goldthread, he even called three of his brothers over as witnesses .
In just a short few moments, a large stove was set up in the corner of the yard and a metal pot hung over it . Following that, a large bucket of water was poured into it and Ling Jian delightedly threw in a large packet of goldthread .
Ling Tian could not help but be stunned as he burst out laughing, ”Ah'Jian, you are truly well prepared . Regardless of who the victor is, I will be greeted with a good show! Hahaha…”
Ling Jian remained calm and replied respectfully, ”Young n.o.ble has taught Ling Jian that I must definitely make sufficient preparations before taking action!”
Ling Tian laughed to the point he could barely breathe, ”Alright, you indeed lived up to my teachings and your preparatory work is truly sufficient . Since both of you refuse to back down and so much preparation has already been made, I am also willing to witness a good show . ”
Li Xue looked at the metal pot with a smile that didn't seem like a smile . She then looked at Ling Jian calmly without an expression .
Ling Jian cupped his fists and the delighted expression of being able to take his vengeance could be seen . ”May young n.o.ble give the order and allow us to battle . ”
Ling Tian exchanged gazes with Ling Chen and Li Xue before replying, ”Since the two of you insists on fighting, then the two of you shall fight here and now! Ling Chi, raise the fire! The time taken for the water to boil will be the time limit of your fight!”
”Since the two of you are going to fight, there must be a few rules . Number one, you are not allowed to leave this yard . Number two, you are not allowed to affect the fire . Number three, I allow both of you to go all-out . Injuries are fine but death is forbidden!” Ling Tian looked at the two of them and said slowly .
These three conditions were extremely loose . Regardless of whether it was Li Xue or Ling Jian, they would both aim to kill the moment they took action . Furthermore, Ling Jian had the advantage in this aspect . If his killing moves were restricted, Ling Jian's battle prowess would be largely restricted and it definitely wouldn't be fair . Thus, Ling Tian decided to let them go all out . As for the second rule, it was actually biased towards Ling Jian . With Li Xue's Divine Ice Formula, she could easily freeze the flames and the water of the pot would never boil! Of course, this was something that Ling Jian would never know .
A violent glow exploded forth from Ling Jian's eyes and he looked at Ling Tian with grat.i.tude before taking a few steps back .
Ling Jian's expression was solemn and with every step he took, it was as though there was a mountain resting on his shoulders becoming heavier and heavier . The black robes that he was wearing fluttered like there was a wind and after seven steps, Ling Jian's clothes fluttered like he was standing on a mountain peak! At this moment, the whole yard was filled with silence and even the trees in the distance were completely motionless .
This form of extreme silence was extremely strange .
With just the momentum of walking backward, Ling Jian was able to acc.u.mulate his aura to the peak! At this moment, Ling Jian was like the boundless ocean, steady and impenetrable!
Looking at Ling Jian's fluttering clothes and hair despite the lack of wind, a look of praise could be seen in Ling Tian's eyes . Even Ling Tian didn't expect that Ling Jian's improvement was so huge! It was truly out of his expectations!
However…
Ling Chen said something well: There was always someone stronger!
Li Xue chuckled and seemed to be completely unaffected by the huge pressure that Ling Jian was emanating . She then took a few casual steps back and the distance between the two of them widened to fifty feet . As she looked at Ling Jian in the eye, her white robes were completely still . The powerful pressure and violent winds stirred up by Ling Jian's inner qi seemed to be completely neutralized when it was in front of Li Xue .
Li Xue still had a leisurely expression as though she did not do anything at all . Facing Ling Jian who had unleashed his aura, she undoubtedly had the upper hand!
Ling Chi, Ling Lei, and Ling Dian could naturally understand the phenomenon before their eyes and could not help but be shocked . Despite their confidence in Ling Jian, they were inevitably worried for him . It seems like brother Jian's opponent was extremely powerful!
At this moment, Ling Tian let out an order, ”Raise the fire!”
Without any hesitation, Ling Chi lit up the dry wood and leaves under the pot and the boiling heat filled the yard!
