Chapter 240 You have no obligation to face an enemy you cannot defeat

However, Yu Lian knew this battle formation very well. She led Gongsun Ce forward with ease, taking each step steadily.

The two men walked forward, and all they saw along the way were bloodstains and white bones.

These bones are exactly the ones of the Demon Sect's disciples who were killed when Ke Haoran broke into the Demon Sect in the past.

At the end of the bones, they saw an old man bound.

The old man was in tattered clothes and looked haggard, but his eyes were still sharp.

"Lotus is born thirty-two!"

The moment Yu Lian saw Lian Sheng Sanshier, the anger in her heart was difficult to suppress and she couldn't help but shout out loud.

"Who are you?" Liansheng Sanshier realized that the person knew him. He looked up at Yu Lian, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Yu Lian looks to be in her early twenties, and Lian Sheng Sanshier was sealed here by Ke Haoran more than ten years ago.

Logically speaking, given Yu Lian's age, it should be impossible for her to know Lian Sheng Sanshier.

“Lin Wu?” Liansheng Sanshier’s tone was filled with indescribable surprise. “So that’s how it is. What a 23-year-old cicada!”

Liansheng Sanshier once wanted Lin Wu to become his successor, so Liansheng Sanshier killed Lin Wu's parents.

For Yu Lian, Liansheng Sanshier was the enemy who killed his parents.

While Yu Lian and Lian Sheng Sanshier were reminiscing about the past, Gongsun Ce was already looking at the Haoran sword energy left by Ke Haoran.

Ke Haoran's Haoran sword energy is completely different from the common practice methods in the Ever Night world, because Ke Haoran's Haoran sword energy is practiced by absorbing the Yuan power of heaven and earth.

In other words, there is nothing wrong with people saying that Ke Haoran has been possessed by the devil. Only the practitioners of the devil sect absorb the essence of heaven and earth into their bodies to practice.

Not to mention, the Haoran sword energy also has the characteristic of creating all things with one sword. The cage formation that trapped Lian Sheng Sanshier was condensed by Ke Haoran with the Haoran sword energy.

Gongsun Ce was very curious about the Haoran sword energy. In addition to trying to absorb Lian Sheng Sanshier's lifelong skills when he came to the Demon Sect's mountain gate, Gongsun Ce also wanted to try to comprehend the Haoran sword energy.

Gongsun Ce stood in front of the sword mark left by Ke Haoran, with some insights surging in his heart.

The sword mark seemed like an eternal mark, deeply engraved on the stone wall. After years of ravages, it was still as clear as ever.

The sword marks contained a kind of righteous spirit that soared into the sky and made people excited.

Gongsun Ce stared at the sword mark, feeling the fluctuations of sword energy contained therein.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself.

Gradually, he seemed to be able to hear the whispers coming from the sword marks, revealing the true meaning of the Haoran sword energy.

I am good at nurturing my noble spirit
Gongsun Ce repeated these words silently in his heart, as if he could feel an invisible force surging in his chest.

He tried to concentrate this power on his fingertips, but found that he could not move his mind at will, and the sword energy was difficult to condense into shape.

However, Gongsun Ce did not give up trying. He activated the Word Spirit·Tian Yan and began to deduce the Haoran Sword Qi.

So he closed his eyes again, calmed his mind, and began to carefully feel the fluctuations of sword energy in the sword mark.

As time went by, Gongsun Ce gradually became able to feel the sword energy flowing in his body.

He tried to control this flow, allowing the sword energy to shuttle and gather in the meridians.

Finally, after repeated attempts, he successfully condensed the sword energy on his fingertips, forming a thin sword energy.

Although the sword energy was still very weak, Gongsun Ce had already felt its power.

He swung the sword lightly, and the sword energy broke through the air, soaring into the sky with a sense of righteousness.

Gongsun Ce felt delighted, for he knew that he had taken the first step towards comprehending the great sword energy.

However, Gongsun Ce was not satisfied with this.

He knew very well that the Haoran sword energy had the characteristic of creating all kinds of skills with one sword, and could simulate all kinds of martial arts.

So, he began to try to use the Haoran sword energy to simulate the scenes of other martial arts.

First, he simulated the scene of Haotian Divine Glory.

In his memory, a dazzling light descended from the sky and illuminated the entire world. This was exactly the divine light of Haotian.

He tried to condense this light on his fingertips, letting the sword energy simulate the power of Haotian Divine Light, and the result was quite successful.

Although the first attempt was not perfect, Gongsun Ce was already able to feel the diversity of this power, which can be called the Little Wuxiang Gong of the Jiang Ye world.

Gongsun Ce opened his eyes, but found that Yu Lian and Liansheng Sanshier had stopped talking and were both staring at him.

"Young man, this is Crazy Ke's Haoran sword energy. How could you have learned it just like that?" Lian Sheng Sanshier was obviously a little incredulous.

He once thought about comprehending the Haoran sword energy and then breaking the cage formation, but he couldn't figure it out. In addition, Ke Haoran's cage formation successfully expelled the heaven and earth energy from this place.

This resulted in Lian Sheng San Shi Er being unable to absorb or use the Yuan Energy of Heaven and Earth. No matter the Buddhist or Taoist methods or the magic methods that Lian Sheng San Shi Er practiced, they could not help him escape.

Therefore, when Liansheng Sanshier saw Gongsun Ce comprehend the powerful sword energy in such a short period of time, he found it hard to accept it.

Liansheng Sanshier is very talented, so if he hadn't been so intent on provoking a conflict between the academy and the Buddhist sect, he would most likely have entered the sixth realm by now.

It is even possible that he, like the master of the temple, possesses several sixth realms.

However, it was too late. He could not access the energy of heaven and earth, so he could only sit and ponder. He was thinking about how to improve his strength.

Then, Liansheng Sanshier realized that if Taoism and demons could reach the same goal, they could become gods.

In a sense, what he thought was correct. The master of the temple achieved the eighth level of purity only after he had penetrated the sixth level known in the world.

"It is not difficult to practice the Haoran sword energy, it's just that your thoughts are not clear enough." Gongsun Ce's voice transmission made Liansheng Sanshier's face turn a little ugly.

"Yes, that's right. I killed Ke Haoran's lover, Lin Wu's parents... I did so many bad things. I said I didn't care, but I felt guilty in my heart.

My thoughts are not clear, but you, a junior, cannot blame me!"

"Yu Lian, stay away. I'm going to try to let him out." Gongsun Ce sent a message to Yu Lian.

"Okay." Yu Lian nodded, "But you have to remember, his life belongs to me."

Gongsun Ce nodded, and Yu Lian took a few steps toward the outside upon seeing this.

"break."

Gongsun Ce opened his mouth and read out a word. Although it was in dragon language, Liansheng Sanshier understood what Gongsun Ce meant.

"Young man, this is the cage formation set up by Ke Haoran. Can you solve it?"

Before Lian Sheng Sanshier finished speaking, an invisible wave spread out with Gongsun Ce as the center.

Then the cage formation that suppressed Liansheng Sanshier was broken, and the chains that bound him behind his back broke into pieces.

This is Gongsun Ce’s recent achievement in controlling the Word Spirit and Judgment.

Gongsun Ce could simply change the words he spoke and thus influence the outcome of the trial.

For example, now, when Gongsun Ce said the word "break", it meant to break the restraints of Lian Sheng San Er, so the cage formation was broken and the iron chains were destroyed.

There was a glimmer of surprise in Liansheng Sanshier's eyes. He didn't expect that someone could actually untie the restraints that had troubled him for many years.

"Hahahaha!"

When the last chain broke and the cage formation completely collapsed, Liansheng Sanshier laughed loudly towards the sky, his voice filled with joy and relief.

He pounced on Gongsun Ce and tightly grasped Gongsun Ce's right wrist.

"Thank you for setting me free. As a token of gratitude, I will absorb your telekinesis so that I can recover my cultivation!"

Liansheng Sanshier's voice was full of greed and desire.

He opened his hands, and a powerful suction force surged out from his palms. This was his Taotie technique, a terrifying method that could devour all cultivation.

However, what shocked Liansheng Sanshier was that his Taotie magic was completely ineffective in front of Gongsun Ce.

When the suction force touched Gongsun Ce's body, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier and could not enter Gongsun Ce's body at all.

"How is this possible?" Liansheng Sanshier shouted in disbelief, "Even if you were a piece of stone, I could absorb your cultivation. Why is there no reaction? Why?"

He frantically increased the suction force, trying to break down the barrier and absorb Gongsun Ce's mental power, but it was all in vain.

At this moment, a gleam of light flashed in Gongsun Ce's eyes. With the blessing of the Word Spirit Tian Yan, he had already learned the Taotie method and improved it.

He smiled slightly, and actually began to perform the Taotie technique in reverse.

An even more powerful suction force surged out from his palm, instantly enveloping Lian Sheng Sanshier.

Lian Sheng Sanshier only felt that his power was leaving his body.

"You...what did you do?"

Liansheng Sanshier shouted in fear. He felt that his cultivation was being devoured madly by Gongsun Ce, and he was unable to resist.

Gongsun Ce did not answer him, but just stood there quietly, allowing the Taotie technique to absorb Lian Sheng Sanshier's cultivation.

Soon, Lian Sheng Sanshier's Taoist insights into nirvana and Buddhism's infinite power flooded into Gongsun Ce's mind.

These insights nourished Gongsun Ce's soul like nectar, allowing him to have a deeper understanding of the path of cultivation.

As time passed, Lian Sheng Sanshier's cultivation was gradually devoured by Gongsun Ce.

His body began to become haggard and his skin lost its luster.

Finally, he turned into a human skeleton and fell to the ground, motionless.

"Is he dead?" Yu Lian hurried over to check on Lian Sheng San Er after he fell to the ground. "Fortunately, he's still breathing."

Later, Yu Lian discovered that Liansheng Sanshier did not die immediately. Gongsun Ce left him a breath so that Yu Lian could take revenge.

"I keep my promise. He is yours. You can take revenge and kill him." Gongsun Ce transmitted the message to Yu Lian, and then Gongsun Ce walked to the outside world.

Yu Lian looked at Liansheng Sanshier, whose life was about to end. In her eyes, there was not only hatred but also pity. "Liansheng Sanshier, you have calculated everything but ended up costing your life. Do you regret it?"

"Regret?" Liansheng Sanshier's voice was hoarse, but he did not raise his head to look at Yu Lian. He no longer had the ability to do so. "Indeed, I do.

I regret that when I plotted against Ke Haoran, I didn't do it more cleanly, so Ke Haoran saw through my plan.

I regretted why I didn't hide myself at the beginning, but stayed at the gate of the Demon Sect calmly. Even if Ke Haoran came to the Demon Sect to kill me, I would remain indifferent.

I do regret it, but I don’t regret killing your parents, I don’t regret killing Jian Xiaoxiao, I don’t regret it… I don’t regret it…”

Liansheng Sanshier's voice became smaller and smaller. Yu Lian sighed, raised her hand and turned it into a knife, cutting off Liansheng Sanshier's head.

"Dead?" Gongsun Ce heard footsteps coming from behind him, so he asked in a voice transmission.

"Dead, even if he was a big shot in the world when he was alive, he is not even worth a handful of ashes now."

"I thought you were going to whip the corpse, but I didn't expect you to collect the body for him."

"Death settles all debts." Yu Lian glanced at Gongsun Ce unhappily, "Besides, killing people is not the right path, and even if I don't do it, he won't be able to survive."

"Let's go."

Gongsun Ce walked out of the Demon Sect's mountain gate. Yu Lian led the way through the Demon Sect's mountain gate. Gongsun Ce had already memorized the route to the Demon Sect's mountain gate.

The moment Gongsun Ce walked out of the mountain gate, a gust of evil wind blew towards Gongsun Ce's face. It was Tang who had been waiting for a long time outside the mountain gate of the Demon Sect.

Gongsun Ce had naturally discovered Tang's ambush long ago.

Gongsun Ce gently raised his right hand, and his index finger and middle finger formed a sword finger. Then the nail of his right index finger rubbed against the tip of his middle finger, and Gongsun Ce's right index finger accurately hit Tang's calf.

After Tang was hit by Gongsun Ce's index finger, he felt an indescribable force coming at him, and his body flew backwards uncontrollably.

"boom!"

Tang's body fell heavily to the ground with a loud bang.

Yu Lian, who had untied the knot in her heart, slowly walked out of the Demon Sect's mountain gate. When she saw Tang being knocked away, she felt that Tang was overestimating his abilities.

But Gongsun Ce's face was indeed very deceptive. If it weren't for the vitality in Gongsun Ce, Yu Lian sometimes wondered whether Gongsun Ce would have experienced rejuvenation like her.

"Your look is very rude." Gongsun Ce felt Yu Lian's gaze and replied in a voice transmission.

"Please forgive me for my reasonable suspicion." After Yu Lian finished speaking, she looked at Tang, "He is not an opponent you can defeat. I think you should have noticed something. Why do you want to sneak attack him?"

The Demon Sect absorbs the energy of heaven and earth into their bodies for cultivation, and their physiques are strong, so their intuition is very strong.

Logically speaking, when Tang approached Gongsun Ce, he would feel creepy even if he couldn't feel Gongsun Ce's specific cultivation level.

However, Tang went ahead anyway, which puzzled Yu Lian.

"I want to reopen the mountain gate, but I don't dare to attack you, so I just want to hold him hostage and get the key to the mountain gate from you."

Tang's words were very sincere, but made Gongsun Ce and Yu Lian look a little weird. Tang was treating Gongsun Ce as a soft persimmon.

However, Yu Lian soon understood the reason why Tang acted this way.

Because just as Yu Lian approached Gongsun Ce, she realized as if she had just woken up from a dream that Gongsun Ce did not pose any fatal threat to her.

Logically speaking, she would feel threatened when someone stronger than her approaches her, except for the Master. That's because the gap between her and the Master is too great, and her instinct has given up.

However, in the end she suddenly realized that Gongsun Ce also had this trait, and she suddenly found it difficult to tell Gongsun Ce's strength.

Gongsun Ce noticed Yu Lian's gaze and grinned, looking quite free and easy.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I will teach him a lesson."

Yu Lian naturally didn't want to walk back to the back mountain of the academy, but she was worried that Gongsun Ce would teach Tang a hard lesson, so Yu Lian thought it would be better for her to teach Tang a lesson herself.

Gongsun Ce attacked Tang, and Tang's life or death was uncertain. Yu Lian taught Tang a lesson, and at most he suffered fractures all over his body, but for the Demon Sect, fractures all over his body were not fatal.

"Get up." Yu Lian walked in front of Tang, "If your strength can satisfy me, the leader's ring will naturally be yours."

"It's a deal?"

"A word is settled!"

Tang looked at Yu Lian's decisiveness and secretly guessed Yu Lian's identity in his heart, because he felt that Yu Lian's attitude towards him was not like that between strangers, but more like the disappointment of an elder towards the younger generation.

So Tang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up and faced Yu Lian.

At this moment, Tang looked at Yu Lian with some doubt. In his perception, Yu Lian was only at the Dongxuan realm, but the creepy feeling he felt when he looked at Yu Lian could not deceive anyone.

"Please give me some advice, senior."

Gongsun Ce looked at the big show that was about to begin, so he simply found a tree, sat down against it, and waited quietly for the two men to fight.

Facing Yu Lian's might, Tang's back was unconsciously soaked with cold sweat. Unable to withstand Yu Lian's pressure, he took the lead in attacking.

Tang jumped high, which was twenty meters high, and then he gave Yu Lian a flying kick.

Yu Lian looked at Tang who fell from the sky. She raised her hand slightly, a red light flashed on her hand, and then she pushed out with a palm.

This was exactly the secret fire technique of the Yin-Yang School that Gongsun Ce had given to Yu Lian before. Yu Lian did not attach much importance to the increased hardness of the palm, but what she valued was the high temperature attached to this layer of red light.

Her palm hit Tang's foot squarely. Even though Tang had a strong physique, he still felt a burning sensation in the sole of his foot.

Obviously, Tang couldn't bear the high temperature on Yu Lian's palm for a while.

Tang saw that Yu Lian easily caught his flying kick, and even Yu Lian's body didn't shake at all. Tang felt sad in his heart. This gap was comparable to the gap between dimensions.

But Tang was, after all, the Demon Sect's world-traveling leader and the last hope of the barbarians, so Tang cheered up and started spinning madly with the soles of his feet as the center.

Tang was born into a barbarian family. The barbarians lived in the area north of the Golden Horde. In other words, the area was bitterly cold and there were not even potatoes to grow.

The barbarians believe in Hades, and Hades, as the opposite of Haotian, will bring down eternal night, so the barbarians are not tolerated by other countries.

Therefore, Tang, a young man who travels around the world from the Demon Sect and is at the state of knowing destiny, is the future of the entire barbarian tribe. He is the one who is most likely to break through the sixth state, the Heavenly Demon Realm, and lead the barbarian people to counterattack the Golden Horde Royal Court and seek hope for survival.

At this moment, Tang's eyes were full of desire for victory as he spun.

He has a nickname from Chen Pipi, which is Tang Ham, not because of his figure or his love for ham, but because of his strong leg skills.

Swift as the wind, slow as the forest, fierce as fire, elusive as the grass.

Tang's leg skills were very aggressive. At this moment, Yu Lian felt Tang's determination to win and felt the strength of Tang's leg skills.

Yu Lian is very satisfied with Tang, the younger generation, but this does not mean that she will hand over the ring representing the leader of the Demon Sect at will.

With the help of telekinesis, Yu Lian ignored the inertia caused by Tang's rotation and accurately grasped Tang's rotating foot.

"You're good, but it's not enough."

As soon as Yu Lian finished speaking, she suddenly threw the hand that was holding Tang's right foot into the air, and Tang's figure was thrown into the air uncontrollably.

Feeling Yu Lian's strange strength, Tang quickly completed a simple counterattack plan in his mind. In his opinion, since he could not defeat Yu Lian physically, he might as well try his telekinesis.

Tang, who was in the sky, quickly began to absorb the Yuan energy of heaven and earth. His body seemed to have turned into a huge whirlpool, madly devouring the surrounding Yuan energy.

Yuan power continuously flowed into Tang's body. His meridians became tougher under the flushing of Yuan power, and his muscles became stronger under the nourishment of Yuan power.

Tang could clearly feel that his strength was constantly growing, as if endless energy was boiling in his body.

However, Tang did not stop there, because he knew it was not enough.

He suddenly opened his eyes and poured all the energy in his body into his legs without reservation, as if injecting powerful power into his legs.

His legs were instantly filled with explosive power, and Tang's body seemed to turn into a flash of lightning, rushing quickly towards Yu Lian on the sidelines.

His speed was so fast that even the wind couldn't catch up with him. Tang turned into a series of afterimages and kept kicking Yu Lian.

However, Yu Lian was no ordinary person and was well prepared for Tang's attack.

Yu Lian just moved and easily avoided Tang's attack.

At the same time, her fist hit Tang's feet mercilessly.

Although Tang was extremely fast, Yu Lian's fists could always hit the soles of his feet accurately.

Every collision made a dull sound, as if even the air was shaking.

The soles of Tang's shoes were gradually worn through by the repeated collisions, revealing his solid feet.

However, Tang did not back down. He endured the pain and continued to attack Yu Lian. His eyes were firm and persistent, as if he would not stop until Yu Lian was defeated.

At this moment, Yu Lian suddenly stopped attacking.

She looked at Tang with an admiring gleam in her eyes.

However, she would not hand over the Demon Sect's leader ring to Tang casually.

She knew very well why Tang wanted the Demon Sect's leader's ring.

The Demon Sect's mountain gate is a kind of belief for the barbarians. When the Demon Sect was prosperous in the past, the barbarians still had the opportunity to resist other countries that believed in Haotian.

After the Demon Sect's mountain gate was closed, the living space of the barbarians was gradually squeezed. In addition, the eternal night was about to come, and the barbarians were eager to move south.

Therefore, they need strong strength and strong morale.

The opening of the Demon Sect's mountain gate is a good way to boost the morale of the barbarians.

"I still have one last trick. If you take it, I will recognize you and I will give you the ring."

Yu Lian's voice was low and firm, as if carrying an irresistible force.

Tang's nerves were on edge. He could feel that the power of Yu Lian's move was extraordinary.

However, he had no intention of backing down. He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then smiled and said to Yu Lian, "Please teach me."

Yu Lian nodded slightly and then began her actions.
