Destined Martial God Chapter 42

The cave left behind by the Martial Saint Ranker, this news immediately attracted countless Martial Masters, Wu Zong, Martial King s, Martial King s and Martial Saint Rankers who came from tens of thousands of kilometers away from Great Qin Empire.

Due to the fact that the formation to protect the cave was very powerful and couldn't be broken through by brute force, many of the experts stayed in the Eastern Mountain City and waited for the formation masters to break open the formation to protect the cave.

With so many experts staying in Eastmount City, the security of Eastmount City would become a major problem.

After all, the stronger one was, the more they would do as they wished. There were some common laws that simply couldn't restrain them.

Therefore, it was obviously inappropriate to continue to hold the Sect Selection Compet.i.tion in Eastern Mountain City. In the end, after discussion between the seven top powers and fifteen first-rate powers, the East Mountain Preliminaries were chosen to be held in another city.

Actually, Eastmount City's geographical location didn't have any advantage in Eastmount County. However, the main reason it could become a county city was because it was the location where the sect selection compet.i.tion was held.

Now that he had the chance to hold the preliminaries, although he couldn't change the level of the city, he could increase his local martial arts, increase his local reputation, and attract more experts to come to train and exchange with him.

Therefore, when faced with the opportunity to hold the sect selection compet.i.tion, the thirty-eight city lords who belonged to the Eastern Mountain County started to display their eighteen types of culinary arts to compete for the right to host the sect selection compet.i.tion.

As the compet.i.tion was too intense, and every city lord, was either part of the Great Qin Empire's Qin family or a meritorious general, they couldn't clearly side with any city lord. In the end, the Qin Emperor decided to use the drawing of lots to decide.

Initially, during the beginning of the compet.i.tion, the Pingyang City's City Lord had not held any hope.

Because the location of the Pingyang City was very remote and his economy and martial arts were the lowest among the 38 cities, he did not have much enthusiasm to partic.i.p.ate.

Even in the drawing of lots, he still carried the thought of helping out, and in his heart, he did not hold any hope.

However, who would have thought that he, who had the least thoughts, would be lucky enough to get the right to hold the event.

… ….

Yu Family, Jingya Pavilion, and the Cultivation Room!

Yu Haoran who was knees bent and sitting on a prayer mat slowly opened his eyes, and then slowly spat out a mouthful of foul air.

There was neither happiness nor sadness on his face!

In ten days, with the help of the Pei-Yuan Dan and the accelerating time of the Tower, he had successfully broken through the 9th grade Martial Disciple realm and reached the pinnacle in a very short amount of time.

Over the next few days, Liu Ming consolidated his cultivation while he practiced a few techniques that he had learned in his previous life.

His cultivation experience in his previous life allowed him to quickly cultivate these martial skills to the Mastery Stage. He was not far from the Perfection Stage, but the Star Dou Technique that he exchanged with the tarin was progressing at a very slow pace.

Now that he had just barely reached the basic level, the effect on his physical body and strength was not obvious.

It was not because his apt.i.tude was lacking, nor was it because of the deficiencies in the body tempering cultivation technique given by the tarin. Rather, during this recent period of time, dark clouds had been covering the surrounding hundreds of miles of the Pingyang City and the stars were faintly discernible, making it difficult to guide even more of the star power to cultivate the Star Dou Technique.

And that was exactly what he was worried about.

He was worried, not because of the slow progress of the Star Dou Technique, but because of the uncontrollable changes that had occurred.

In his previous life, when Pingyang City held the sect selection compet.i.tion, the sun was bright and the stars were shining during the night.

Now, it was dark clouds that covered the sky during the day and gloomy during the night!

He finished his cultivation, stood up, and left the training room.

Raising his head to look at the sky, Yu Haoran realized that there was no sign of a clear sky at all.

Perhaps it was because the secret regarding the Great Qin Empire's princess consort was important, or perhaps it was because the Ninth Elder had secretly warned him before, that the Great Elder, who had originally thought that he would jump walls in a hurry, would take advantage of the fact that his family members were not able to keep an eye on the clan's interior to prepare for the selection compet.i.tion to begin, and sneak attack Yu Saiqi when he was not in a position to pay attention to it.

However, the final result was that everyone had nothing to do with each other. This made Yu Haoran wonder if he was being too nervous, or if he had imagined the Great Clan Elder to be too crazy.

As he slowly walked to the front of the Reflection Pavilion, Yu Haoran realized that it was rare for Yu Saiqi, who had been cultivating with all his might, to sit inside the wind pavilion in the courtyard to relax.

"Sis!" Perhaps because of Yu Saiqi's relaxed state of mind, Yu Haoran, who had always been in a nervous state, couldn't help but relax as she smiled and greeted him.

"Xiao Ran, you're here!"

Turning his head to look at Yu Haoran, Yu Saiqi greeted him and then waved his hand, signalling him to enter the Wind Pavilion.

He walked toward the wind pavilion, pa.s.sing by some flowers. A sense of deadly crisis filled his heart.

"Yu Haoran, be careful of the killers in the flowers!"

In his sea of consciousness, tarin who had been quietly healing himself had already discovered the source of the danger when Yu Haoran felt a sense of danger envelop him, and quickly warned him.

Even though the aura of death descended instantly, the hundred years of experience from his past life made Yu Haoran not the least bit fl.u.s.tered.

Shi Mu used the Gale Steps which he had just entered the Mastery Stage, allowing him to dodge the opponent's fatal strike like a breeze.

At the same time, he quickly retreated.

"d.a.m.n it!"

Hiding at the top of the willow tree not far away, Lin Yun's attention was always on Yu Saiqi. He did not discover the killer inside the hidden flower bush immediately, so he could not help.

At the same time, he secretly blamed himself for his negligence. He didn't even know when the killer had sneaked into the flower bush.

Seeing that Yu Haoran was able to avoid the killer's fatal strike in time, Lin Yun roared in a low voice, and rushed towards the a.s.sa.s.sin who tried to kill him.

Using the Gale Steps to dodge the killer's fatal strike, Yu Haoran discovered that the opponent's cultivation was not high, and was barely at the early stage of the Martial Disciple realm level 9.

Perhaps it was because he had cultivated some kind of secret technique that allowed him to restrain his aura and was adept at camouflage, thus, he did not discover it immediately.

Thinking about how the Great Clan Elder could not possibly arrange only an early stage 9th Martial Disciple to complete the mission with his cunning methods, so when he saw Lin Yun rushing over, Yu Haoran's first reaction was to ask him to protect Yu Saiqi.

"Lin Yun, go and protect my sister. I have a way to deal with this killer!"

Although he wanted to protect Yu Haoran, when he thought about the agreement between the two of them and how Yu Haoran did not seem to be in a state of shock, in the end, Lin Yun forced his body to twist around and rush towards the wind pavilion where Yu Saiqi was at.

a.s.sa.s.sins were feared not because of how strong they were, but because they were hiding in the dark and had sneak attacks that were hard to guard against.

However, if the killers were to be exposed, then their methods would not be as good as those of ordinary pract.i.tioners.

Using Gale Steps to retreat a few meters, Yu Haoran directly activated five levels of Origin Energy to avoid the poisonous swords that were coming at him like poisonous snakes, and then used Gale Steps to bully his opponent.

Seeing his fatal blow miss, the a.s.sa.s.sin knew that his sneak attack had failed. The a.s.sa.s.sin's way of handling things allowed him to choose to retreat immediately and move towards the flower bush where he was hiding.

But he underestimated Yu Haoran's speed. When he was less than three metres away from the flower bush that was hiding, Yu Haoran, who was using the Wind Walk to bully his body, had already arrived in front of him.

If he continued to retreat, he would definitely be struck by Yu Haoran. Thinking about using Wind Walk to expose Yu Haoran's peak level of level 9, the a.s.sa.s.sin was secretly shocked and decided to wave his sword to block, in order to give himself time to retreat into the flower bush.
