The Vast Sky Saint Son said coldly, “Linglong Saintess, what is your intention? You stopped me from attacking Qingfeng Li just now, and you are preventing me from stopping Qingfeng Li from breaking through?”
The Linglong Saintess shook her head at the Vast Sky Saint Son’s questions and said, “I just think that what you are doing is wrong. If you want to fight Qingfeng Li, then I would never stop you from doing so.”
“But you are trying to interrupt the most critical moment in his breakthrough, not to mention that you are two levels higher than him. People are going to sneer at us if you do that.”
The Linglong Saintess did not approve of the Vast Sky Saint Son’s actions, not to mention that they were not in a good relationship from before; they even argued with each other a few times.
A cold light flashed across the Vast Sky Saint Son’s eyes, he then said, “I am trying to kill the danger when it has not fully developed yet. Qingfeng Li is very talented, if we let him have his break-through, then it might become difficult for us to defeat him. But your attitude towards this matter is very suspicious, why are you always trying to protect him?”
The Linglong Saintess smiled and said, “Anyway, you cannot attack Qingfeng Li right now. If you still want to attack him, then you have to go through me first.”
The Vast Sky Saint Son and Linglong Saintess stood against each other, and a fierce vibe came off from both of them. They were both high-grade saints, and the air surrounding them became tense when they confronted each other.
All of the self-cultivators backed off, because they knew that if a fight broke out between the Vast Sky Saint Son and the Linglong Saintess, then it would be a very intense one. The fight would not only concern the two high-grade saints, but also their sects. The result would be absolutely devastating.
The Vast Sky Saint Son looked at Qingfeng Li who was far away, then looked at the Linglong Saintess who stood in front of him, and finally hissed, “Linglong Saintess, I am doing you a favor today, but if you dare to stop me from attacking Qingfeng Li again next time, then I won’t leave you alone.”
The Vast Sky Saint Son turned his body and walked in the other direction.
Actually, he wanted to attack Qingfeng Li just now, but he thought about the great treasure buried in the Thunder Lake. If he actually fought the Linglong Saintess, then they would both become severely injured, which would make things easy for the Heavenly-sword Saint Son and the Furious-Blade Saint Son.
After all, the Heavenly-sword Saint Son and Furious-Blade Saint Son were both saints, and strong masters like them all coveted the great treasure. When the snipe and the clam grappled, it would be the fisherman who profits.
The Vast Sky Saint Son made a compromise for the treasure in the Thunder Lake. But after he obtained the treasure from the Thunder Lake, not only would he teach Qingfeng Li a “lesson”, he would do the same to the Linglong Saintess, so she could understand the consequences for opposing him.
The Linglong Saintess obviously knew what the Vast Sky Saint Son was thinking, but she just smiled without speaking and backed away.
A girl dressed in green who stood beside the Linglong Saintess walked out and said, “Miss Saintess, why are you helping Qingfeng Li? It is worth it to displease the Vast Sky Saint Son for Qingfeng Li.”
To the girl dressed in green, the Vast Sky Saint Son was at least ranked in the top thirty on the Hidden Dragon List. He was a super master who could possibly reach the immortal Realm in the future. He was a devil and a genius at the same time.
But Qingfeng Li was only a low-grade saint, not to mention that he did not belong to any sect. Opposing the Vast Sky Saint Son for such a guy seemed strange to everyone, which was why the girl in green addressed her confusion.
Since she was strongly bonded to Miss Saintess and shared weal and woe, if Miss Saintess improved her strength and became an immortal in the future, then she would greatly benefit from it.
But if Miss Saintess failed, then she had to take the blame and even become ashes. They had formed an interest group, and they were like grasshoppers on the same board.
The Linglong Saintess smiled and said, “I know that you think the Vast Sky Saint Son is going to win, but I have to tell you that Qingfeng Li gave me a more dangerous feeling. Inside the danger, there was a sense of familiarity. I feel like he is carrying something related to the flames of our sect, so you’d better follow Qingfeng Li.”
The girl dressed in green nodded. She had fought against the Linglong Saintess for the position of saintess before, but she failed and did not obtain the position. However, she still trusted the Linglong Saintess’s words very much.
After all, the Linglong Saintess had been very talented ever since a kid. She was very good at figuring people out, and the girl dressed in green trusted the saintess’s words.
At the same time, Qingfeng Li was still fully absorbed in his comprehension process. He did not know that the Linglong Saintess stopped the Vast Sky Saint Son for him. Else, he would have been in danger.
Qingfeng Li was very concentrated in trying to understand the Rules of the Heavenly Dao, which were saint rules.
The Saint Rules surrounded Qingfeng Li. He had finished tempering the Saint Nucleus inside his body, it changed from having only one soul mark to two, and it absorbed some tadpole-shaped talisman scripts in the sky.
Qingfeng Li also had a deeper understanding of the Rules of Heavenly Dao. To put it in simple words, he learned more about the Rules of Heavenly Dao and understood how to use it better. Now Qingfeng Li was able to plan and design his own Rules of Heavenly Dao.
For example, Qingfeng Li practiced the Mortal Purgatory Body and Fire Elemental Vital Essence, which meant he could condense the rules and orders of hell, as well as the ability to use fire.
Fire was one of the five basic elements of the world, and it had the ability to melt and burn everything. On the other hand, the Hell Talisman scripts could suppress all evil ghosts and objects in hell, and it also contained an unbelievable amount of power.
If Qingfeng Li reached the middle-grade saint realm, then he would become invincible within his realm, and he could even fight while being under-leveled.
Boom, boom!
After two thuds, Qingfeng Li finally made his breakthrough from being a low-grade saint to a middle-grade saint.
At this time, his saint nucleus, muscle, bones, bloodline, and understanding of soul and saint rules all reached the middle-grade saint level. He enhanced his power from the root.
The change in quantity caused the change in quality, now Qingfeng Li’s body contained violent saint energy, and he felt that he had inexhaustible energy.
Qingfeng Li could release 25 million kilograms of power with one punch before, and he felt that after he had his breakthrough, he was able to release a maximum power of 40 million kilograms.
This was a huge step forward, and he was not that far away from fifty million kilograms now.
An ordinary middle-grade saint would normally have power equal to thirty million kilograms, but Qingfeng Li had a power ten million kilograms more than an ordinary middle-grade saint. His power was even comparable to the power of a high-grade saint.
This was how strong the Mortal Purgatory Body was. It could not only make one fight while being under-leveled, it could also raise one’s attack power.
A cold light and fear appeared in the Nine-headed Golden Lion Avatar’s eyes after he saw that Qingfeng Li was surrounded by saint energy and the Laws of Greater Dao.
The Nine-headed Golden Lion Avatar said with a scary face, “Damned Qingfeng Li, he used my Saint Lion Fist to increase his own power.”
