Longevity Begins with Internal Organs-Chapter 207 - 150: Fierce Battle on a Rainy Night (Part 2)

Chapter 207: Chapter 150: Fierce Battle on a Rainy Night (Part 2)

As one follows the monster’s head downward, there is a neck barely thicker than a hemp rope, and below that are the fully miniature human limbs.

In simple terms, it’s like the body of a two or three-year-old human child with a huge and bizarre head.

Zhao Ya couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Not just because of the monster’s weirdness, but because of the immense strength of this Mountain Demon.

Fifth Realm!

And at the peak of the Fifth Realm.

This was even stronger than the Giant-winged Blood Bat Zhao Ya encountered in the Earth Cave before.

Yet, facing such a ridiculously powerful Exotic Beast, Lu Dingtai showed no fear at all, instead skillfully maneuvering around it.

The Great Vajra Fist that Lu Dingtai mastered at this realm was no longer restricted to specific moves; even a casual punch contained unimaginable power.

This is why earlier he could easily rip through half of the bird flock with just a few punches.

But at the moment, this universally effective fist lost its impact. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Because this Mountain Demon was faster, and its punches were stronger.

Bang.

After a loud boom, Lu Dingtai took a few steps back after exchanging a punch with the Mountain Demon, his face turning slightly pale, with a bloodstain appearing on his fist.

In contrast, the Mountain Demon only slightly shook its shoulder.

Seeing this scene, a heavy expression appeared on Lu Dingtai’s face.

He was unwilling to always dodge and evade, so he mustered all his strength for a punch, but he suffered a minor setback instead.

This left Lu Dingtai quite irritated.

But neither he nor Zhao Ya knew that at this moment, three people were observing the battlefield from a small hill in the distance.

All three were not wearing raincoats, yet the falling rain seemed to be blocked by an invisible force before it could touch them.

This is a manifestation of control over one’s power to the utmost after a successful Blood Exchange and entering the Fifth Realm.

When Lu Dingtai punched and managed to create a three-seven split against the Mountain Demon, one of the men in a blue long robe, holding a folding fan with the demeanor of a scholar, couldn’t help but show surprise.

"To think he could hold his own against the Ghost Child of the Beast Taming Sect, this Martial Artist who hasn’t fully completed Blood Exchange has some skill."

The man beside him, bulky with a simple face but with a slight menacing air in his eyes and brows, nodded at these words.

"Looks like the Great Vajra Fist of the Azure Dragon Temple, and it’s trained to a certain level."

"The Azure Dragon Temple of the Thirteen Sects Beyond the World? It’s surprising to have the heritage of the Azure Dragon Temple in this remote Yunxiao County," said the young scholar in shock.

The simple-looking man shook his head, "It’s probably just some scattered Outer Disciples. If the true heritage of the Azure Dragon Temple was here, do you think the Beast Taming Sect would dare to attack?"

"That’s true!" The young scholar chuckled lightly, then asked.

"What do you guys think, how long will it take for the Beast Taming Sect to capture this city?"

"Although this Ghost Child is not yet fully mature, its power is comparable to you and me, so they might succeed tonight," the simple man thoughtfully said after a moment of contemplation.

"I don’t think it’s that simple. The Beast Taming Sect is facing its own troubles and can’t send someone to lead, only remote control, making the Beast Tide’s power less effective. I think it might take at least three days to break through this city," said the young scholar.

Then he turned to a woman standing beside him, smiling slightly.

"Junior Sister Gu, what do you think?"

This Junior Sister Gu was elegantly dressed, with a charming appearance, particularly captivating with her fox-like eyes.

When she heard the young scholar’s words, she smiled brilliantly.

"In my opinion, the Beast Taming Sect has miscalculated this time. Even if they manage to breach the Commandery, it will be hard for them to occupy it to nourish that Ghost Child."

"Oh? Why’s that?"

"Because a hundred and fifty miles from here in Boling Valley, a force from the Great Yan Iron Cavalry is stationed, led by a member of the Wei Family. Do you think they will sit by and watch the Commandery fall into the hands of the Beast Taming Sect?"

"The Wei Family..." The young scholar chuckled coldly, "It seems the Wei Family extends their reach well, not even letting go of little Yunxiao County."

"At this rate, one day the Great Yan might bear the Wei surname."

"Whether the Great Yan will change its surname to Wei, I do not know, but I do know this troop will not miss this chance; they might already be on their way," the woman smiled.

"Junior Sister Gu is right, I overlooked this point. Looks like the Beast Taming Sect will suffer a loss this time," the young scholar gloated.

"I recently heard a piece of news," the simple man suddenly said.

"What news?"

"That the Celestial Beauty of Washing Sword Manor, Yan Xizhao, seems to have obtained a rare Realm-Breaking Guide and has suddenly announced a retreat to attempt a Fifth Realm breakthrough."

Upon hearing the name Yan Xizhao, they all had different reactions.

The young scholar’s eyes lit up with admiration, while Junior Sister Gu’s expression stiffened, a cold gleam appearing in her eyes.

"If Yan Xizhao truly succeeds in breaking through to the Fifth Realm, her strength will far exceed that of other Fifth Realm martial artists, and she will become the only Fifth Realm master in the Great Yan royal family in the last twenty years. The Wei Family might start to panic."

The young scholar seemed to harbor deep resentment against the Wei Family, always gloating over any unfavorable news about them.

The woman, however, sneered, "It isn’t that simple. The three of us have all walked through the barriers of the Fifth Realm, knowing how difficult it is. Moreover, Yan Xizhao attempts to add the Realm-Breaking Guide, which not only doubles the difficulty, I deem it very hard to achieve."

The young scholar seemed to have a differing opinion, but at this moment, the simple man suddenly said, "Alright, let’s not argue about this. Let’s focus on watching the battle."

The two then closed their mouths and looked up at the battlefield.

At this moment, the battle had undergone some changes.

The addition of Zhao Ya eased part of Lu Dingtai’s pressure, and the two of them together managed to hold their own against the Mountain Demon evenly.

Noticing Zhao Ya’s skill with the saber, the young scholar couldn’t help but laugh, "Senior Brother Tang, you’re an expert with the saber. What do you think of this young man’s saber technique?"

The simple man scrutinized for a moment, then nodded, "It can be seen that the young man’s saber moves aren’t intricate, but the rare part is that he has made them his own and improved them, making the saber techniques quite impressive now."

During their conversation, the deformed creature behind the Mountain Demon, referred to as the Ghost Child by them, suddenly let out an extremely jarring roar.

"Here it comes, the Ghost Child is about to unleash its power!" The young scholar exclaimed with excitement.

Sure enough.

After the roar, the Mountain Demon’s speed and strength surged significantly.

Zhao Ya and Lu Dingtai, who were evenly matched a moment ago, instantly felt immense pressure.

Especially as that roar just emanated nearby the two of them.

When the sound entered the ears, it caused the body’s Qi and blood to tremble, making it extremely uncomfortable.

Boom.

Lu Dingtai collided once more with the Mountain Demon and then was sent flying two or three zhang away, landing with a flush on his face.

"Master!" Zhao Ya slashed with his saber, drawing away the Mountain Demon’s focus, and then shifted to Lu Dingtai’s side.

"I’m alright, this creature is extremely bizarre. Just the two of us together can’t match it, let’s retreat first." Lu Dingtai decided swiftly without any hesitation.

But just as the two were about to leave, several lynx appeared at the treetops. Among them, one had a massive wound on its back, the very one Zhao Ya had injured, now staring at him full of hatred.

Meanwhile, more ferocious Exotic Beasts like wild boars and black bears emerged around them.

These Exotic Beasts surrounded the master and apprentice duo, pairs of scarlet eyes fixed intently on them.

Holding the Meteorite Iron Saber, Zhao Ya stood back to back with Lu Dingtai, softly asking, "Master, we seem to be surrounded."

"It’s not ’seem,’ we are," Lu Dingtai replied sternly, then instructed in a low voice.

"Soon, you go left, I go right, we’ll break out together."

"Okay!"

Zhao Ya gripped the Meteorite Iron Saber tightly, with his Qi and blood surging wildly within, the blood sea stored in his liver ready to erupt at any moment.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly arose behind the Exotic Beast crowd, and a voice could be heard shouting.

"Old Lu, still alive there?"
