Dragon Martial Emperor-Chapter 168 – Prepared to set off

Chapter 168 – Prepared to set off

The gaze of all the people was now fixed on Su Biaoxin.

“As for you, Su Biaoxin…..”

Baiyun Zhong walked towards him and looked at him, shaking his head with regret: “I gave you many opportunities to correct your ways and never let your past affect your future. However, after getting admitted into Zhentian sect, you repeatedly ran amuck and bullied other disciples. As a punishment for your violent acts, I’m compelled to destroy your cultivation and expel you from the sect.”

Destruction of cultivation and expulsion from the sect!

This was the most severe punishment according to the laws of Zhentian sect, and was usually sentenced to those who dared to rebel against the sect, like at an earlier instance Elder Wu Jianxin did.

It was one of the most difficult decisions that the sovereign had to make.

After all, the people he had to punish were a part of Zhentian sect and had previously contributed a lot to the sect.

After hearing the sentence passed by Baiyun Zhong, Su Biaoxin turned as pale as a corpse.

Everything was over now!

His most powerful backer was his teacher, Elder Yue Hangshan. But now, even Yue Hangshan couldn’t save him from the wrath of Baiyun Zhong!

The giant spear Zhenling entity of Baiyun Zhong trembled as it released a great amount of killing intention and immediately smashed Su Biaoxin’s Dantian!

“Now go away!”

Baiyun Zhong said after calling his spear Zhenling entity back.

With his hand over his Dantian and his mouth dripping with blood, Su Biaoxin looked towards his teacher, Yue Hangshan.

The dark-faced Yue Hangshan waved his hand: “Go away!”

Su Biaoxin clenched his teeth and turned around to depart!

From now on, Su Biaoxin was a waste. He was expelled not only from Zhentian sect but also from the world of martial arts. He was an extremely wretched being now!

The days during which he had enjoyed his strength and was protected by Yue Hangshan flashed before his eyes.

Feng Hao and Feng Xiaofei were quite relieved after seeing Su Biaoxin expelled in such a miserable state.

Earlier, this Su Biaoxin had bullied both of them many a times. But when he got to face someone more powerful than him, he was easily subdued. Now he was a waste and was also expelled from the sect.

This had also imparted a great lesson to both Feng Hao and Feng Xiaofei.

They both made up their mind. No matter how strong they grow in the future, they would never act irresponsible and reckless. Even the strongest of the people met a dead end as soon as arrogance took over them!

“Long Yu, thank you so much…..”

Feng Yuxin, clad in a pale yellow dress, approached Long Yu and expressed her gratitude in a soft voice.

“You don’t have to thank me.”

Long Yu shook his head and said: “Back in Yu Guan city, you had a choice. You could’ve left the Feng clan and saved your life. But you chose to stay and follow my foster father. You chose to stand with me and fight. By helping a clansman of my foster father, I intend to help him.”

Long Yu’s words made Feng Yuxin a little sad.

Initially she had thought that just like any ordinary person, Long Yu might have been smitten by her beauty and hence had decided to seek revenge for her.

But now as it turned out to be, Long Yu had decided to help her only because she belonged to his foster father’s clan!

“Well, Feng Yuxin, don’t think too much.”

Long Yu smiled and looked at her: “At present, all three of you have more strength than my foster father. He would be pleased to see your progress. As for the wound that he received, I’ll find the cure as soon as possible.”

“Brother Long Yu, rest assured. I will catch up with Feng Hao and Feng Xiaofei and we all will protect our clan-head.”

Feng Yuxin replied.

“Feng Yuxin, you should carry on with your study of alchemy. Feng clan will be greatly benefitted by your alchemy skills.”

Long Yu nodded.

Baiyun Zhong himself arrested Yue Hangshan, who was to remain captive inside the Zhentian sect’s prison for three years as a punishment for his deeds. He was also banned from practising martial arts for this period.

This kind of life was indeed a torture for Yue Hangshan.

They all hoped that three years might be sufficient for him to realise his follies and he would never tolerate his disciples’ misdeeds again.

“If anyone misuses his powers inside Zhentian sect, he or she will be punished. Even the Elders can’t escape the punishment.”

Long Yu thought to himself.

Soon afterwards, he turned around and left for the bamboo grove in the restricted area to continue with his practice.

……………..

Fifteen days later.

Just seven days were left for the Tang kingdom’s Seven Sects Competition to commence.

At this time, a young man clad in black robe was pacing from one cliff to another inside the bamboo grove.

A pair of lunar wings flapped behind him, making him move as fast as a falling meteor!

This fast-paced youth was Long Yu.

Within a period of two weeks, Long Yu had become aware of all the powers that he had gained as a Zhenling third layer expert.

Moreover, the biggest change had occurred with one of his martial skills – the next level of awakening palm samsara.

A few days earlier, after a vigorous practice session, Long Yu had finally been able to comprehend his awakening palm samsara technique from Xiao Cheng level to Da Cheng level.

At Xiao Cheng level, the awakening palm samsara would create a burst of the power of samsara which would infiltrate into the body of the enemy, causing his cultivation level to temporarily drop by one layer.

But the Da Cheng level of awakening palm samsara reduced the consumption of Xuan qi, enabling him to use this technique more often. Moreover, now this technique not only caused a drop in the enemy’s cultivation level but also reduced the level of the enemy’s martial skills!

During his practice, Long Yu had discovered that the awakening palm samsara was a terrifying technique when it caused the level of the opponent’s martial skill to drop.

“The awakening palm samsara of Da Cheng level is the real form of the awakening palm samsara!”

Long Yu was extremely content at his battle efficiency taking this great leap.

If he could not defeat a Zhenling 5th layer powerhouse like Yue Hangshan by his usual techniques, he could now just wait to tire them down before launching his true attacks.

Even if Yue Hangshan’s Zhentian Mountain Zhenling entity had tyrannical suppression power, Long Yu could’ve weakened it by using awakening palm samsara.

After practising it over a hundred times, Long Yu had become quite familiar with the usage of this technique and could easily use it to his advantage now.

Intoxicated hell, awakening palm samsara!

Just a single technique of nine hidden dragon fist was enough to overpower a hundred of other techniques.

But only after Long Yu would enter the fourth layer of Zhenling realm and congealed Zhenling entity, the nine hidden dragon mark would transform itself and impart him a new set of martial skills.

What exactly these new martial skills would be, Long Yu was still unaware of it. But the terrifying strength of nine hidden dragon fist gave him an idea of the strength that these new skills might contain.

At this time, Long Yu was flapping his lunar wings and was casually hovering above a cliff like a hawk.

The reason being his ceaseless hovering was that it was enhancing the resonance that he had achieved with his lunar wings. With the help of the lunar tablet, he believed that he would soon be able to achieve complete resonance with his lunar wings.

“I have attained resonance with my Qian Dragon spear and have even comprehended a spiritual level martial skill – the lamella touch. However, I have not attained any resonance with the lunar tablet.”

Long Yu pondered over it and was quite puzzled.

He guessed that since the Qian Dragon spear was his father’s spear, it easily resonated with him.

As for the Lunar wings, instead of receiving energy from the nine hidden dragon mark, they received energy from the lunar tablet.

Long Yu was no longer puzzled now.

Long Yu continued hovering in the sky. He would occasionally land over a cliff to have some rest. While flying in the sky, he felt as if he had transformed into a Demon Hawk.

The demon hawk dwelled deep inside the Demon valley and had a tyrannical strength of at least Zhenling seventh layer!

The lunar wings had absorbed some traces of the aura of the beasts of the Demon valley and hence were causing Long Yu to have unrealistic thoughts.

“I think I should practice harder now…..”

Long Yu thought as the sun completely hid itself behind the mountains. Soon afterwards, he landed inside the bamboo grove restricted area and was slightly disappointed with himself.

Every time he would feel that he was about to attain complete resonance with the lunar wings as a little more effort was needed, and each time he was unable to break through.

It seemed to him that this little effort had become the most formidable task of his life!

“Tomorrow, the sovereign will lead the contingent to the Imperial city to participate in the seven sects competition.”

Long Yu made his calculations and decided to keep lunar wings aside for now.

He had been eagerly waiting to visit the Imperial city. After all, he had many precious things stored inside his nine hidden dragon mark – Feng Yao’s top grade spiritual level double-edged sword, Meteorite pendant as well as several corpses of beasts.

He could exchange all these articles for some good quality immortality pills or neidans!

Certainly, it was impossible for him to be able to congeal Zhenling entity and enter Zhenling fourth layer. After all, it not only required a magnanimous amount of xuan qi but also involved a bottleneck which was extremely difficult to break.

At nightfall, Long Yu decided to take complete rest.

The next morning, Bu Xing arrived and knocked on his door.

“Brother Long Yu, the Sovereign has ordered the whole contingent to gather in the main hall. Since we both are the biggest hopes of our sect in the Seven Sects Competition, we should hurry up.”

“Brother Bu Xing, you just don’t change.”

Long Yu came out of his cottage.

They both smiled and then turned around to leave for the main hall of Zhentian sect.

The sovereign Baiyun Zhong was addressing to the whole contingent inside the main hall.

As Long Yu reached the square in front of the main hall, he noticed a familiar figure standing there. Feng Hao, Feng Xiaofei and Feng Yuxin were waiting for him, along with Feng Longsong!

“Foster father!”

Long Yu’s face beamed at the sight of Feng Longsong.

Was Feng Longsong going to travel to the Imperial city with them?

“Little Long Yu!”

Feng Longsong looked at Long Yu and smiled: “I and Liu Yu have not seen each other for quite some time. With the Seven Sects Competition about to commence, I want to visit Liu clan palace.”

Imperial city’s Liu Clan!

These words made a lot of familiar images appear in front of Long Yu’s eyes.
