Chapter 212 - Seeking Death
At the border of the Gobi Desert and the rainforest, the landscape becomes bizarre and distorted. Blackened rocks coexist with thriving giant ferns, and the dry wind is mingled with the scent of moist, decaying leaves.
The team led by Chu Linyuan had just cleared out a wave of monsters that looked like a mixture of rocks and thorns and were spawned by the chaotic spiritual energy in this place. They were about to move forward when they were blocked by a group of uninvited guests.
There were about ten people coming, and their clothing style was very different from that of the people in the Middle-earth cultivation world. Most of them were decorated with animal skins, feathers and some shiny black metal, which made them look rough and wild.
They were riding in a flying boat shaped like the skeleton of a giant eagle, with arrogant eyes, a look of scrutiny and provocation.
The leader was a young man, about twenty years old, with a handsome face and undisguised arrogance between his eyebrows. His aura had reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, which was terrifying at his age.
Behind him followed an old man with a mysterious aura, who seemed to be a protector, and the rest were mostly at the Golden Core stage of cultivation.
The young man stepped forward, his gaze locked onto Chu Linyuan, who was dressed in black and had the coldest aura. He grinned and said in a loud voice, "Hey! Are you from the Guixu Sect? I heard you overthrew the Immortal Alliance in the Middle Earth?"
Tie Niu frowned and was about to step forward, but Luo Hongyi stopped him with a look. She watched the group with great interest, poisonous mist silently swirling around her fingertips, as if she had discovered new ingredients for testing drugs.
The Sky Eagle Fort disciples behind him burst into laughter. One of them, a man with a scar on his face, grinned and said, "Young Master, they look so delicate and tender, they don't look like them. Could they be imposters? I heard that the Middle Earth Immortal Alliance is rotten, so it wouldn't be surprising if someone exposed it."
Another female disciple also laughed sweetly and said, "Exactly. In previous years, the so-called 'geniuses' sent by the Immortal Alliance to our northern border for exchange and training were all arrogant. But what happened? They couldn't even defeat the wolf cubs on our snowy plains!"
Upon hearing this, Tie Niu glared with his huge eyes and shouted angrily in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you talking about! It was our eldest and second brothers who led us to drive away the Immortal Alliance! If you know what's good for you, get out of the way!"
The Guixu Dragon Spine Hammer slammed into the ground with a dull thud, demonstrating its powerful force.
Luo Hongyi narrowed her charming eyes, poisonous mist swirling around her fingertips. Her voice was cold and seductive, "Where did you come from, savage? Don't you know you're blocking the road? If you don't get out of the way, I can't guarantee that you'll be able to return to the northern border to eat ice cubes in one piece."
The people in Tianying Castle were stimulated by Tie Niu's momentum and Luo Hongyi's sharp tongue. They immediately became agitated and drew their weapons one after another. The atmosphere instantly became tense.
The old man who was guarding the way, an old man with a deep breath and eyes as sharp as an eagle, coughed lightly and stopped the commotion on his side.
He looked at Chu Linyuan carefully and spoke slowly, his voice hoarse but powerful: "Daoyou have an aura as deep as the abyss, I believe you are the leader of Guixu Sect? We are from Tianying Fort in the northern border and have no ill intentions. It's just that my young master Ling Hao has always heard of the outstanding people and beautiful scenery of Middle-earth, and he is even more curious about who can defeat the hero of the Immortal Alliance. We met you by chance today, and we are itching to compete with you to prove our skills. I wonder if you can give me some advice?" Although his words were polite, his eyes were full of scrutiny and temptation.
With the support of the Seventh Elder, Ling Hao held his head high and stepped forward, proudly pointing at Chu Linyuan. "That's right! My name is Ling Hao! Young Master of Sky Eagle Fort! I'm second to none among the younger generation of the Northern Territory! I heard you guys did something big, come on, fight me! Let me see if you're worthy of the title of the top of Middle-earth!"
Spiritual energy surged throughout his body, and a majestic giant ice and snow eagle vaguely condensed behind him, emitting a biting cold and sharp aura, with an imposing aura.
Chu Linyuan had a blank expression from beginning to end, and even his eyes did not fluctuate at all, as if the group of aggressive people in front of him were just a bunch of noisy mosquitoes and flies.
It was not until Ling Hao challenged him by name and released the pressure of the Dharma image that he slowly raised his eyes.
Those icy eyes, like an abyss of eternity, were devoid of any emotion, yet they made Ling Hao's heart inexplicably tremble, as if he was being stared at by some extremely terrifying existence.
Chu Linyuan's voice was calm, yet it carried a suffocating chill that reached everyone's ears clearly:
"I've seen people seeking death, but I've never seen anyone rushing to deliver something like this."
"Arrogant!" Ling Hao had never been looked down upon like this before, especially in the area of his strength, which he was most proud of! He immediately shouted angrily, "Take it!"
The vast icy spiritual power in his body completely erupted, and the giant ice and snow eagle behind him let out a sharp cry, flapped its wings, and rolled up countless ice blade whirlwinds, and with the power to tear everything apart, it suddenly pounced towards Chu Linyuan!
Wherever he passed, the ground froze and the air crackled! This strike condensed the pride and strength of his Northern Territory prodigy, enough to easily injure or even kill an ordinary late Nascent Soul cultivator!
The Sky Eagle Fort disciples' faces showed excitement and anticipation, as if they had already witnessed Chu Linyuan being defeated in a single blow. The Seventh Elder was completely focused, staring intently at Chu Linyuan, trying to discern his response.
However, Chu Linyuan's reaction was so simple that it was despairing.
He didn't even make any defensive gesture, nor did he draw the Frost Sword behind him.
At the moment when the giant ice and snow eagle was about to attack him, he casually raised his right hand, and with his fingers like swords, lightly tapped the center of the eyebrows of the violent Dharma image.
There was no earth-shaking collision of spiritual power, and no brilliant brilliance of magic.
There was only an extremely condensed black ice finger force that seemed to be able to freeze time and space and annihilate the soul. It came later but arrived first, and silently hit the most core point of the giant eagle's Dharma image!
A slight but extremely clear crisp sound!
The mighty image of the giant ice and snow eagle, which was powerful enough to tear apart mountains, froze instantly like a piece of glass art that was hit precisely in the vitals!
Immediately afterwards, countless cracks spread wildly with the point where the fingertip landed as the center, and the next moment it shattered with a loud bang, turning into the purest ice spirit energy, and scattered and annihilated!
"Puff!" Ling Hao's face instantly turned pale as paper, as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body flying backward uncontrollably. His spiritual energy was in turmoil, and his meridians felt as if pierced by countless icy needles. The pride and fighting spirit in his eyes were replaced by utter shock and disbelief!
