Chapter 791
Instant Kill! Shang Yuntang Will Not Let You Go
The newcomer was a young man dressed in a silver robe, standing on horseback, holding a long spear with its tip touching the ground. It was as if water was being slowly drawn up from the ground, forming a stream that swirled around the young man, which was quite mystical.
"Shang Shui Liu!"
Lei Shuo and Bai Wanxi both recognized the person.
Shang Shuiliu was a celebrity in their Anyuan City, and he was handsome and had an outstanding temperament. Countless women wanted to marry him.
Among the young talents of Anyuan City, Shang Shuiliu can be ranked in the top ten.
This is because Shang Shuiliu dislikes competing with others, and few people have seen his true skills.
But anyone who has witnessed his skills will sincerely admire him.
Some speculate that Shang Shuiliu's combat strength ranks among the top three.
A person's name, a tree's shadow.
When Shang Shuiliu suddenly appeared here and blocked the caravan's path, even without taking any action, simply standing there put inexplicable pressure on everyone.
When he spoke, he told Lei Shuo to step aside, which was considered giving Lei Shuo a lot of face.
As fellow young talents of Anyuan City, Shang Shuiliu and Lei Shuo had no enmity. Although he was not afraid of Lei Shuo taking action, there was no need to drag him into the mess and cause unnecessary trouble.
He is like flowing water and is not someone who likes trouble.
Just as he dislikes women because they are too troublesome.
but.
Why would someone who dislikes trouble travel a long distance to block Bai Wanxi's path?
"Shang Shuiliu, what do you mean? Do you have a grudge against Bai Wanxi? I've never heard of that, and you two have never even met."
Lei Shuo couldn't help but ask.
Shang Shuiliu said, "I owe Tao Mingguan a favor. As long as I send Bai Wanxi back, I will have repaid the favor. After that, what happens to Bai Wanxi is none of my business. However, none of this is your business. You can just step aside."
"How can this have nothing to do with me?"
Lei Shuo shouted, "Bai Wanxi is my sister's best friend, which makes her my sister too. If you dare to lay a hand on her, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Humph."
Shang Shuiliu snorted coldly, his face showing a disdainful expression, and said, "So what if you're impolite? In my eyes, you're all just chickens and dogs. Get out of here now, and I might spare your lives. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless with my gun!"
"I'll see how merciless you are with your gun!"
Enraged, Lei Shuo flipped his hands, and two bronze hammers flew out of his rings and landed in his hands. He then soared into the sky, clashing the hammers together with a thunderous roar, before crashing down upon Shang Shuiliu.
"Unbelievable!"
Shang Shuiliu let out a cold laugh, his body remaining motionless, the tip of his spear still stuck in the ground, but a monstrous wave suddenly surged up from his body and rolled towards Lei Shuo in the air.
boom!
The towering waves seemed endless, crashing against Lei Shuo wave after wave.
Lei Shuo suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura quickly dissipated. He couldn't even withstand a single move from his opponent.
I knew the other party was strong, but I didn't expect them to be this strong. The gap between us is just too big.
No wonder everyone says this guy could be ranked among the top three young talents in Anyuan City.
The rumors are true!
"Brother Li, save me!"
In mid-air, Lei Shuo shouted without saying a word.
Although he had his own treasures for protection, there was no need to take them out, since the expert was sitting in the carriage, so why should Lei Shuo waste his treasures?
Lei Shuo was just making a gesture; did he really intend to fight Shang Shuiliu to the death?
He had no grudge against the other party.
Chi Chi Chi.
Suddenly, the sound of water freezing rang out. The huge waves that had been surging just moments before suddenly froze into chunks of ice in mid-air, then crackled and shattered into ice shards, which clattered and tinkled as they fell to the ground.
"There are more experts?!"
Shang Shuiliu was taken aback, and his eyes immediately locked onto Zhang Lingshan's carriage.
It was strange when he blocked the road. Why were so many people protecting a carriage?
It turns out there was a master hidden inside.
I don't know who it is, they're acting all mysterious and hiding their true intentions.
"Get out here!"
Then Shang Shuiliu shouted loudly, suddenly raised his spear, pointed the tip at the carriage, and released a blue stream of air with a bang.
This blue aura seemed to be able to mobilize the water-based spiritual energy of the entire world. When it flew out of the spear tip, it was still very thin, but as it approached the carriage, the blue aura had condensed into a substance, becoming a water dragon spear shadow.
No.
Not one, but countless.
One after another, ferocious water dragons roared out from the blue gun shadows, determined to tear the carriage and its people to shreds.
"hehe."
A soft laugh suddenly came from inside the carriage.
Shang Shuiliu's expression suddenly changed, as if time had stood still at that moment.
Then, he saw his Water Dragon Spear suddenly freeze into a long, icy spear, which flew back.
boom!
With a loud bang, Shang Shuiliu was instantly struck by the icy spear, which shattered upon impact.
After the chill dissipated, everyone saw that Shang Shuiliu's body was frozen in place by countless shards of ice, and his blood was also frozen on his body due to the cold and did not flow down.
As for his dragon silver spear, it pierced through his stomach, pinning him to the ground in a backward-leaning position.
hiss!
Everyone gasped in shock.
It's too awful.
Shang Shuiliu, who was so arrogant in front of them, a peak Xuanxian expert, a proud son of heaven, was actually killed so easily.
The other party didn't even get off the carriage.
No wonder he's an ice-type genius capable of killing a Golden Immortal.
At this moment, everyone once again deeply realized what it meant for a Xuanxian to be invincible.
This young master Li Xuanbing is a genuine and invincible Xuanxian.
"who are you?"
A sound of struggle suddenly came from Shang Shuiliu's mouth.
Everyone looked shocked.
They're still alive?
This Shang Shuiliu has a very strong physique; he is not as fragile as he appears. He is actually a master of body refinement.
But I have never heard of Shang Shuiliu also practicing the Way of Body Cultivation.
Does this guy still have a trump card up his sleeve?
"Shangyuntang will not let you get away with this!"
Seemingly unwilling to accept the lack of a reply from Zhang Lingshan, Shang Shuiliu finally roared, then his head lolled to the side and he died instantly.
What kind of body-refining master?
It was just that they held on a little longer.
"Shangyuntang!"
Lei Shuo's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Shang Shuiliu is actually a member of Shangyuntang?"
Bai Wanxi also shuddered, her face showing surprise.
But the others seemed to have never heard of this name before. They looked at each other with surprise, puzzled.
"What is Shangyun Hall?" Zhang Lingshan asked.
Lei Shuo said, "Brother Li, Shangyun Hall is a mysterious organization. It is said to have originated from the royal family, but no one knows who founded it. There are rumors that all those who can join Shangyun Hall have royal blood and thus possess the aura of a true dragon. This explains why Shang Shuiliu can unleash the Water Dragon Spear Intent. Moreover, Shang Shuiliu dares to openly use the surname Shang, so his status in Shangyun Hall is probably not low."
He couldn't help but feel worried for Zhang Lingshan.
Being targeted by the Shang family of Anyuan City is not a big problem.
Because of the strength of the Li brothers, unless the Golden Immortal experts of the Shang family take action, it is absolutely impossible to capture them.
Even if the Shang family's Golden Immortal were to intervene, the success rate of capturing Brother Li would not be high.
The Shang family's Golden Immortals are all relatively young; they are not veteran Golden Immortals, much less peak Golden Immortal experts.
Although that old man Pang was seriously injured and poisoned by fire, he was still a veteran Golden Immortal.
Even he is no match for Brother Li, so who in the Shang family can be more powerful than that old man Pang?
That's why no one doubted Shang Shuiliu's claim that he owed Tao Mingguan a favor.
Because the Shang family genuinely needed the investment from the Tao family, a large financial institution, it would be strange if they didn't owe them a favor.
Having incurred this favor, Shang Shuiliu had to become Tao Mingguan's dog and help Tao Mingguan capture Bai Wanxi and bring her back to Anyuan City.
This sounded like an easy task, so Shang Shuiliu didn't refuse, thinking it was just a small thing that could be done easily.
Unexpectedly, such a small matter cost him his life.
But this also implicated Shangyuntang.
It should be noted that the experts in Shangyun Hall are not limited to Golden Immortals, and are far beyond what a small family like the Shang family can compare to.
To put it bluntly, the Shang family isn't even qualified to carry shoes for Shang Yuntang.
Although it is unknown how Shang Shuiliu joined Shangyuntang, it is definitely not related to the Shang family.
If the Shang family and Shang Yuntang were related, why would they need to be mindful of the Tao family's feelings?
But then another problem arose.
You, Shang Shuiliu, have already latched onto the towering tree of Shang Yuntang, so why do you still care about Tao Mingguan's worthless favor?
This guy must be out of his mind.
He deserved to die.
It's just a pity for Brother Li Xuanbing; he's been targeted by Shang Yuntang, and he's going to suffer in the future.
Is Shangyuntang very powerful?
Zhang Lingshan paused for a moment, then asked.
Lei Shuo said, "To put it this way, the worst among them are all Xuan Immortals, and all of them are Xuan Immortals with Heavenly Spiritual Roots under the age of twenty. If you don't meet this standard, even if you have royal blood, you are not qualified to join."
The members of the caravan were astonished and could not believe it.
How did a twenty-year-old Xuanxian cultivate?
I bet they've been fed all sorts of rare and precious herbs since they were little.
Without sufficient financial, material, and human resources, even with talent, it is impossible to achieve such success.
Zhang Lingshan was also shocked.
A twenty-year-old Xuanxian is indeed no ordinary person.
You should know that Zhang Lingshan was already over twenty years old before his ascension.
After ascending to immortality, he wasted several decades in Anning City and is now almost sixty years old.
But the people from Shangyuntang start as Xuanxian at the age of twenty. The difference between them and me is like heaven and earth, like the difference between clouds and mud!
Is this the advantage of locals in the immortal realm having powerful backers?
Comparing yourself to others will only make you miserable.
If Zhang Lingshan had such powerful backing, he would probably have already broken through to the Immortal Venerable realm.
However, although I don't have any powerful backers, I do have a control panel.
No matter how powerful Shang Yuntang is, wasn't Shang Shuiliu, one of his subordinates, instantly killed by him?
Heh, that's all there is to it.
"After Shangyun Hall recruits these Xuanxian, it requires them to reach the Xuanxian Perfection stage by the age of fifty, and then go directly to the Golden Immortal Pavilion to break through to the Golden Immortal stage. Because of their powerful backgrounds, as long as nothing unexpected happens, everyone can become a Golden Immortal, which makes Shangyun Hall extremely rich in Golden Immortals."
Lei Shuo continued to introduce Zhang Lingshan.
He didn't even need to finish speaking before Zhang Lingshan knew what he meant.
Golden Immortals are extremely numerous!
It all sounds terrifying.
They don't even need to send many people; just two or three would be enough to make Zhang Lingshan suffer a terrible fate.
However, the problem is not serious.
Zhang Lingshan said calmly, "It's alright. Anyway, Shang Shuiliu didn't see me at all. What Shang Yuntang? Even if they have the ability to lock onto me, they will only lock onto you, not me."
Everyone was horrified.
Isn't this like a giant pot falling from the sky and hitting us on the head?
This is outrageous!
The murderers got away with it, but they were targeted by Shang Yuntang.
This is not fair!
While everyone was in a panic, Lei Shuo said, "No. Brother Li, you don't understand Shangyun Hall. As I just said, they are of royal blood and possess the aura of a true dragon. In other words, they are bound to this land. And since you killed Shang Shuiliu, his bloodline power and the aura of a true dragon will be locked onto you. As long as you are still on this land, they will have ways to find you."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
That's more like it.
Shangyuntang is so powerful, it's impossible that they can't even find their enemies.
"That's amazing?"
Zhang Lingshan said something and then fell silent.
Lei Shuo said that as long as you are still on this land, it's not that people will notice you just because you're standing on the ground, but that they won't notice you just because you're flying in the air. Rather, it means that as long as you are still within the territory of the Daqing Dynasty, you will definitely be targeted by Shangyuntang.
What was the surname of the Daqing Dynasty?
Zhang Lingshan suddenly asked again.
Lei Shuo paused for a moment, then replied, "Of course it's surnamed Qing. When Emperor Qing was in power, the whole world submitted to him."
"What's the relationship between the man surnamed Shang and the man surnamed Qing?"
Zhang Lingshan asked again.
Lei Shuo said, "It is said that they were two brothers. Emperor Qingzu granted the younger brother a fief in the Shangyun City area, and their descendants changed their surname to Shang. Strictly speaking, they should not be biological brothers. The specific details are not recorded in the Shiziku of the Liuku Quanshu. It is a secret."
"I understand."
Zhang Lingshan nodded and said, "Then this Shangyuntang is not on the same side as the current royal family, but a rebel. I'm relieved that he wouldn't dare to openly come out and kill me."
Lei Shuo was taken aback.
Are you relieved that they wouldn't dare to openly kill you?
Where is the logic behind this reassurance?
I don't understand.
Moreover, whether Shang Yuntang was a rebel or not, the higher authorities have not yet made a determination on his behalf, yet you have already made a determination on his behalf.
However, Shangyuntang is indeed quite secretive in his dealings and rarely appears in public.
If Shang Shuiliu didn't say anything today, no one would know that he was from Shangyuntang, which shows how low-key Shangyuntang is.
"Brother Li, even so, you must not let your guard down. However, they won't find you immediately. Besides, we'll be arriving in Taiyuan City soon. When we arrive, quickly buy a talisman that can shield your aura and carry it with you. That should keep you safe for a while."
Lei Shuo offered his suggestion. (End of Chapter)
