“Grandma, why didn’t you go when Zi’s mom asked you to live with them for a few days ago?” Hao Ren ate while asking his grandma.
“I didn’t want to bother them, and your parents will be back in a few days anyway,” Grandma drank the soup and replied, “I have to force them to live here for a while this time…”
Dong!
The entire house suddenly shook intensely.
The soup in Grandma’s spoon suddenly spilled on her clothes.
“Is there an earthquake?” grandma put down the spoon and asked nervously.
The moment Grandma spoke, more than a dozen powerful aura came from outside!
Pu! Pu! Pu!
The isolation array formation that Lu Linlin and Lu Lili set up around the house was destroyed when they heard the sound!
Hao Ren stood up immediately. From his sharp senses of being at Zhen-level, he could tell that the house was surrounded!
Soon, the house stabilized and stopped shaking.
Grandma was still a bit suspicious. “Could it be that a nearby building fell?”
“Grandma, please continue eating. I’ll go check.” Hao Ren walked to the door and turned around to look at Lu Linlin and Lu Lili. “You guys eat and accompany Grandma.”
His tone was calm, but he knew clearly that there were many enemies!
As Hao Ren walked out the door, a red energy sphere enveloped him instantly!
Zeng Yitao, holding the golden spear in his hand, smirked viciously as he stared at Hao Ren.
At the same time, sixteen rays of silver light passed through the door and flashed into the interior of the house!
Luring the tiger out of the mountain (TL: to lure someone away from somewhere he/she originally was at)!
Hao Ren wanted to turn back, but Zeng Yitao’s long spear stabbed forward and blocked Hao Ren’s way!
Peng! Peng! Peng…
The sound of a series of explosions came from the house.
Obviously, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were fighting with the 16 elders from West Ocean already!
Hao Ren looked up and discovered that the surrounding fifteen meters of the house had been covered by a red energy sphere.
It meant that this house nearby the ocean had already been isolated into a small world. Other people couldn’t see and hear what was going on inside it.
Hao Ren was worried about his grandma. He raised his hand to shot out a hundun lightning and continued to rush toward the entrance of the house.
The white lightning made a series of zapping sounds and hit Zeng Yitao’s chest, but it didn’t cause him any harm!
Underneath Zeng Yitao’s clothes was the Golden Sun Chained Armor! This was a treasure that West Ocean took from the Nine Dragon Palace a long time ago. After West Ocean’s decades of research, twelve restrictions on it had been opened, and it could defend against any attack under Gen-level!
Hao Ren’s hundun lightning could break the five elemental energy shields, but it couldn’t cut through this Golden Sun Chained Armor from the Nine Dragon Palace!
Hua!
The long spear stabbed unrelentingly at Hao Ren’s face!
Last time, there was only Black Wolf to protect him. However, Black Wolf was only good at assassination and not at head-on fights. This time, Zeng Yitao had 16 senior elders around him, so he was fearless.
Hao Ren didn’t have any weapon, and that was a huge disadvantage for him; sword array formations required a certain distance in order to exert its power. Zeng Yitao was close to Hao Ren and attacked him continuously to prevent him from releasing sword array formations!
Hao Ren heard the fighting sounds in the house and had to dodge Zeng Yitao’s golden spear. It was imaginable how anxious he was!
West Ocean’s action already went over the line!
Peng!
Little White rolled out from the hidden space and instantly spat a fireball at Zeng Yitao!
Zeng Yitao raised his spear to block it, but the fireball suddenly cracked and burned some of his hair.
“Where did this b*stard come from?” Zeng Yitao’s golden spear released a golden light and struck Little White’s belly firmly!
Little White rolled on the ground, crawled up, and spat another fireball at Zeng Yitao!
The fireballs that were released were Samadhi True Flame!
One-line Snake Array Formation!
Hao Ren seized the chance and released the sword array formation. 80 sword energies dashed at Zeng Yitao’s forehead and struck furiously!
The power of Gen-level integrated with Little White’s Samadhi True Flame!
Zeng Yitao swung his long spear and avoided the attacks quickly. However, this sword array formation moved with Hao Ren’s thoughts and went behind Zeng Yitao’s back!
Using his mind to control the swords; he almost reached the realm of the Sword God!
Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll didn’t rely on dharma treasures because itself was the strongest dharma treasure!
Pa! Pa! Pa!
As if a string of coins hit Zeng Yitao’s chained armor, it created a series of crisp sound.
Even though the sword energy couldn’t pierce through the Golden Sun Chained Armor, the power of Samadhi True Flame struck Zeng Yitao!
Zeng Yitao felt a burn on his chest, and the Dragon Core that wasn’t solid enough was injured again!
Samadhi True Flame was the flame that could make elixir pills and cores. This scorching heat burned Zeng Yitao’s dragon core; how could he feel good about it?
Zeng Yitao was confident with his recovered strength of Zhen-level with the addition of the Coil Dragon Golden Spear and Golden Sun Chained Armor. He thought that it would be more than enough to fight against Hao Ren, who barely just stepped into Zhen-level.
However, Hao Ren and Little White’s speeds of advancement were beyond his estimation!
One-line Snake Array Formation, which was more advanced than the basic sword array formations, could pierce through a small hill. The fireballs that Little White spat were Samadhi True Flame that could melt ordinary dharma treasures!
Zhen-level cultivators wouldn’t be able to stand the combination of the Samadhi True Flame and sword array formations!
If Hao Ren cast with his full strength and Zeng Yitao didn’t wear the Golden Sun Chained Armor, he would be turned into ashes from this encounter!
At this moment, the 16 senior elders followed his instructions and already rushed into the house. He would be daydreaming if he thought that he could obtain protection of the elders now!
Besides, Hao Ren wouldn’t give him the chance to do so!
Earth-elemental array formation! Fire-elemental array formation!
Two sword array formations with enormous scope aimed at Zeng Yitao’s direction and flew toward him overbearingly.
After reaching Zhen-level, Hao Ren’s nature essence was even more abundant, and every single fundamental sword array formation’s power doubled. Earth-elemental array formation and fire-elemental array formation contained 32 sword energies each!
As long as Little White could harass and buy him some time, Hao Ren could release the sword array formations! Little White fought up close, and Hao Ren cast ranged attacks. It was the perfect combination!
16 elders went inside to seize an old woman; it should be a mission that would be accomplished immediately. Zeng Yitao was worried that there might be traps inside, so he had all of them go inside.
At this moment, he believed that the elders of West Ocean would come out and rescue him after a few seconds. Then, he would be able to beat Hao Ren up and make his head look like a pig’s head!
Seeing two overlapping array formations coming at him, the golden spear in Zeng Yitao’s hands expanded to three meters in length. When he swung the golden spear, it released dozens of golden lights, and they all seemed powerful!
Peng! Peng! Peng!
With more than a dozen collisions, the space in front of the entrance turned into a vacuum, creating a whirlpool effect!
Zeng Yitao felt like his chest became stuffy. The dragon core that wasn’t fully recovered from last time cracked again…
Seeing Zeng Yitao not moving, Little White didn’t hesitate and instantly spat out two fireballs, and both landed on Zeng Yitao’s chest!
Hao Ren’s sword energies didn’t stop either. It formed a One-line Snake Array Formation and rushed toward Zeng Yitao’s Danzhong acupoint. 80 sword energies came one after another and struck at Zeng Yitao like an electric drill. Even though the chained armor was not broken, it still made him feel terrible. He flew four meters away, and his long spear also flew out of his hands!
Little White, who now turned back into its snow lion, jumped over. Its sturdy and powerful golden front paws pressed down on Zeng Yitao’s hands.
Ao!
Little White revealed its fang, touched Zeng Yitao’s face, and roared.
Its sharp teeth touched his nose, and Zeng Yitao’s hair was blown into different directions from the breath of the howl.
As if an ordinary person was pushed down by a tiger, Zeng Yitao was terrified and almost lost his soul!
Also, Little White’s mouth contained a tumbling hot fireball, and its front paws could emit flames at any time as well. This forced Zeng Yitao to stay put.
“Grandma!” Hao Ren was worried about his grandma and rushed into the house.
In the living room, other than a broken glass coffee table and display cabinet, there weren’t any significant damages.
The six Qian-level elders and ten Kun-level elders were bundled up with one black and one white ring. They couldn’t move their hands and feet as they were tired against each other. They sat on the cold floor like petals of two flowers.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stood on the side. Lu Lili was reciting a dharma spell and looked at them calmly, and Lu Linlin stuck white cloth inside their mouths.
If they were both holding a submachine gun, they would look like professional kidnappers.
On the floor of the living room was an arrangement of many flashing five-colored circles. It was evident that the whole living room was covered in traps. If someone stepped on them, he or she would immediately be captured.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili relied on the traps to capture and arrest the 16 elders. In fact, these elders fell right into the traps.
Hao Ren was worried about his grandma and asked them hurriedly, “Where’s grandma?”
“Too many people came in at once, and Grandma fainted,” Lu Lili pointed at the direction of the sofa.
Grandma lied sideways on the sofa with panic still evident on her face,
Grandma already had high blood pressure and was terrified by them too. Hao Ren clenched his fists, turned towards the elders, and released dozens of sword energies.
Every single sword energy pierced into their skin! Zeng Yitao had the Golden Sun Chained Armor to protect him, but they didn’t!
The Lu sisters’ Yin-Yang Qian-Kun Bracelets were known as the supreme treasure. Even in the Heavenly Realm, they were considered powerful dharma treasures. They could not only set traps to capture these elder who hadn’t reached the Heavenly Dragon Realm, but they could also suppress the nature essence of the Qian-level Realm once enemies were captured!
Even though their foundations weren’t destroyed, their nature essences were sucked away entirely by the Yin-Yang Bracelet! The elders would need ten days to half a month of cultivation to go back to their original realm!
Therefore, they couldn’t resist when Hao Ren’s sword energies pierced through their body! They could only frown and endure the pain!
“Gongzi, you are too generous with these bad people!”
Lu Linlin raised her hand and sprinkled a bundle of gold flowers!
Hua… These prickly gold flowers pricked the elders’ faces and caused them to grimace from the pain. Yet, their mouths were blocked and couldn’t yell even if they wanted to!
“Lili, teach them a lesson too!” Lu Linlin yelled at Lu Lili.
“Oh…” Lu Lili nodded obediently.
Pa! No one knew where she got her long whip from, but the whip created a loud sound against the floor.
This long whip was made with a silver colored material. It was shiny and looked like it would hurt if it were used to whip someone.
No matter if it were the prickly gold flowers or the silver long whip, they were both normal weapons instead of dharma treasures. Hao Ren looked at them and had a weird feeling…
“Let’s wake grandma up, and we’ll talk about the rest later,” Hao Ren walked to the side of the sofa, held grandma up, and said.
“Okay!” Lu Lili put the long whip away and took out a low-level Spirit Replenishment Pill. She used water to dissolve it and feed it to Grandma using a cup. Even though she had her own weapon, she was not used to teaching people lessons.
“Gongzi, what should we do with these people?” Lu Linlin guarded the 16 elders and asked.
Seeing that grandma would wake up soon, Hao Ren couldn’t think of much. “Throw them all into the ocean!”
These were the elders of West Ocean anyway; they definitely wouldn’t drown.
“Alright!” Lu Linlin held a bracelet in each hand and opened the back door. She found that the elders’ bodies were too big and bumped into the door. Then, she recited the dharma spell in silence. Two bracelets both tightened up to the point where they almost squeezed out the 16 elders’ internal organs, and that was just enough to drag them through the door. She threw them toward the sea with force!
This rude approach couldn’t be associated with Lu Linlin’s beautiful appearance!
The 16 elders flew into the sky at the height of a few hundred meters. Lu Linlin chanted the dharma spell again to retrieve the two Yin-Yang Bracelets, and the 16 elders, who hadn’t recovered their nature essence yet, were dropped into the ocean like dumplings being dropped into the pot!
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili’s powers had only recovered to Qian-level, but their natal dharma treasures weren’t from the mortal world!
The 16 elders who were above Kun-level were just unlucky to encounter Lu Linlin and Lu Lili! Lu Linlin and Lu Lili didn’t beat them up too much because they were in a good mood!
At this moment, Grandma slowly woke up.
When she saw the coffee table and cabinet broken into pieces, she looked at Hao Ren nervously. “What just happened?”
“A bunch of people were here to collect money but came to the wrong house,” Hao Ren said.
“Where are they now?” Grandma asked.
“They paid for the damages and left.”
“Sigh, this community is not that safe,” Grandma turned to look at Lu Linlin and Lu Lili. “Are you two girls alright?”
“No worries, no worries!” Lu Linlin acted like she just took out the garbage. She clapped her hands and walked in through the back door.
“Grandma is very useless and got scared by them. My head is still dizzy now.” Grandma rubbed her head and sighed.
“We didn’t expect that this kind of thing would happen. Go and rest, Grandma. We’ll clean up,” Lu Lili helped Grandma to stand up.
“Okay, I’ll go sleep for a bit.” Grandma was still in shock and walked to the second floor with Lu Lili’s support.
“Gongzi, there’s still a bad kid outside. Should we beat him up?” Lu Linlin came up to Hao Ren and asked.
Hao Ren walked out of the door, and Lu Linlin followed him.
Zeng Yitao, who lost his natal dharma treasure, was pinned to the ground by Little White’s front paws. Zeng Yitao still tried to struggle; however, Little White suddenly sat down and used its robust butt to press Zeng Yitao down entirely on the ground.
Little White was reasonably polite for not pooping on his face.
Seeing Hao Ren walking out, Zeng Yitao turned to Hao Ren difficultly. “What is it to have a spirit beast help you? If you are strong enough, let’s fight with dignity!”
“Fight with dignity?” Hao Ren looked at him scornfully. “Bringing 16 elders to attack my house is fighting with dignity?”
Since West Ocean didn’t care about the rules, he didn’t need to be gentle to Zeng Yitao. Initially, he thought Zeng Yitao was young and could be molded into a good person. Looking at him now, this kid was full of bad intentions and did things without caring about the consequences at all.
“As long as I get my natal dharma treasure back, you can’t win against me in a fight!” Zeng Yitao faced Hao Ren and continued shouting.
“Same thing; throw him into the ocean,” Hao Ren said indifferently.
He walked over, picked up Zeng Yitao’s Coil Dragon Golden Spear, put it into his hidden space, and waved at Little White as he pointed at the ocean far away.
Little White was extremely smart and understood what Hao Ren meant. It used its teeth to pick Zeng Yitao up by his clothes. Then, it flew to the distant ocean.
Little White flew further and higher before suddenly opening its mouth to let go.
The severely injured Zeng Yitao was dropped into the water like a missile!
Seeing this scene, Lu Linlin smiled pleasantly, came close to Hao Ren, and almost leaned on his arm. “Haha, Gongzi is too nice!”
“Please take care of my grandma. You don’t have to get involved with other things,” Hao Ren said to her while turning around to walk back to the house.
“Um, my little sister and I don’t want to get involved with other things, but Gongzi’s matters are also ours. If West Ocean Dragon Clan dares to hurt Gongzi, my sister and I will go to West Ocean Dragon Palace and make them pay!” Lu Linlin frowned and said.
Hao Ren smiled and walked up the stairs to check on Grandma’s condition.
Underneath the sea surface, the situation was changing subtly. 16 weak elders of West Ocean fell into East Ocean’s territory and were immediately sent to East Ocean Dragon Palace.
Similarly, Zeng Yitao, whose dragon core was injured for the second time, couldn’t escape from the soldiers of East Ocean.
After four hours, Oldman Zeng, who was notified, appeared at the entrance of the East Ocean Dragon Palace angrily.
Zhao Guang, who stood at the entrance to greet him, seemed to be in a good mood.
“Hand back my people!” Oldman Zeng spoke sharply as his entire body trembled.
“Why is Elder Zeng angry? Our East Ocean and your West Ocean had been allies. This time, your West Ocean’s elders and crown prince encountered strong enemies and fell into East Ocean’s territory by accident. We are taking care of them attentively.”
Oldman Zeng suppressed his anger, but his facial expression darkened. Zhao Guang intent was very apparent. Now that West Ocean’s 16 senior elders and crown prince were held hostage in East Ocean’s hands, West Ocean needed to think twice before doing anything.
“Do not worry, Elder Zeng. Zeng Yitao isn’t too injured. As long as he rests up, he can leave here anytime. However… those 16 elders’ injuries are very critical and can’t be moved temporarily. East Ocean must try our best to help,” Zhao Guang said slowly.
How could Oldman Zeng not understand the hidden meaning? East Ocean would keep Zeng Yitao for a few days, but East Ocean would fully control the 16 elders!
According to plan, Oldman Zeng wanted to utilize West Ocean’s power advantage, focus on the problem caused by the Fuma of East Ocean, and give East Ocean a hard time. However, the situation turned around too fast!
“Just go back, old man. Maybe after a few days, they’ll feel better and return your stupid grandson back to you.”
Little Daoist Zhen, who came to see what was going on, saw Oldman Zeng’s twisted face. Thinking it was funny, he couldn’t help but say something.
“Little b*stard! This is no place for you to talk!” Furious, Oldman Zeng didn’t have a place to vent his anger. When he heard this strange kid speak, he swung his hand instantly.
Little Daoist Zhen didn’t see it coming. A solid slap landed on his face and knocked him to the ground!
