Chapter 421 - Thrashing a Dog (1/2)

Though there was quite a gap between Ling Han and the Rain Emperor in terms of cultivation, Ling Han’s status as an Earth Grade alchemist was enough to let the two of them stand on equal footing. Strictly speaking, an Earth Grade low level alchemist even had slightly higher status than a Flower Blossom Tier cultivator.
The two of them conversed for a while. When he found out that Ling Han was going to collect the Crimson Red Chilling Ice Gra.s.s, the Rain Emperor indicated that he would like to go with Ling Han and give him a helping hand.
Ling Han gladly accepted. After so many days, who knows how many people were already aiming for that Spiritual Herb? Though he believed that no one below Spiritual Infant Tier could obtain it successfully, there might be cultivators in the Flower Blossom Tier standing guard by the side. Who would seize it from him when they saw that he had succeeded? What was he going to do then?
The secret of the Black Tower was already known to some people, and Ling Han did not want to allow it to spread even wider. Thankfully, whether it was Rong Huan Xuan, Asura Demon Emperor, or Elder Nine Clouds, they all only thought that he had a Spirit Tool that could contain living things and did not know that it was the Black Tower, which was not as ordinary as merely being able to contain living creatures.
“It’s now even more difficult to see through this little girl!” The Rain Emperor turned to look at Hu Niu. In the past, he could still somehow manage to sense that the little girl had the cultivation of the Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier, but now it was as if Hu Niu had turned into mist and looked very hazy to his eyes.
Hu Niu giggled in response. Since Ling Han treated the Rain Emperor politely, she would give him face as well. Otherwise, who would bother?
The three of them journeyed towards the location of the Crimson Red Chilling Ice Gra.s.s. It was located in the core area in the first place, so after only less than half a day, the three of them had arrived at their destination. However, they were not the only ones. Three other people were already here.
Yao Hui Yue, Tong Zhi Ming, as well as… Zhu Xuan’er!
These three obviously wanted to obtain the Crimson Red Chilling Ice Gra.s.s as well, yet were unable to do so. Though Zhu Xuan’er’s face could not be seen, it had to be filled with anxiety.
Sensing the approach of Ling Han and the others, Yao Hui Yue’s eyes swept over them and immediately lit up brilliantly, as if his gaze had transformed into uncountable sharp blades that shone with l.u.s.ter. An endless battle spirit gushed out from him. He stared fixatedly at the Rain Emperor. Weng, weng, weng . The long sword at his waist actually released humming sounds, as if it wanted to exit its sheath on its own.
The Rain Emperor was the same. A mighty aura spread out from him with multiple flashes of divine light surging around him, which transformed into multiple solid fists.
The two of them had already taken a “fancy” to each other in the great battle with the Demonic Ape, but afterwards, both had suffered heavy injuries and thus naturally went off to heal their wounds, as well as digest the battle comprehension they had obtained through this battle.
This was the second time they had met, and both were at their best condition. As a result, battle spirit instantly soared in both of them.
“Young man, you still dare to appear. Have you forgotten what Milord has said?” Tong Zhi Ming smirked coldly at Ling Han—in the past, Yao Hui Yue had declared that the next time he saw Ling Han, he was definitely going to take his life.
Ling Han glanced at him, and said, “Whose dog is this that only knows how to bark crazily all day and night? If the owner’s not going to take care of properly, I’m going to kill it!”
Yao Hui Yue withdrew his attention from the Rain Emperor and said calmly to Ling Han, “If you have the ability, then you can kill if you like!”
Tong Zhi Ming sneered. He was in the ninth layer of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier and his battle prowess was at least twelve Stars, so how could a young man in the ninth layer of the Spiritual Ocean compare to that?
Eh…? Pu! He was instantly astonished. The ninth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier? Not even three months had pa.s.sed, but how had this guy leaped from the fifth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier all the way to the ninth?
This, this, this, this… Previously, he had praised Yao Hui Yue for being in the ninth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier at seventeen years old, and this young man in front of him now… was in no way inferior!
Could it be that this would be the second coming of Yao Hui Yue?
However, so what if he was in the ninth layer of the Spiritual Ocean Tier? There was still a gap of a complete Tier between the both of them, and that was a gulf that no amount of talent would be able to compensate for.
