Celestial Peak

Chapter 179: A talk I

Xiao Jianfa was at a loss for words, everything that just happened was too fast even for someone like him.

The instantaneous killing intent making the world seems bleak, the bloodlust that could dye the word red in a moment's notice. Those variables appeared too fast for him to make a proper reaction.

And from what he could tell, all of these chilling intents and bloodlust came from his grandson who was holding a sword on his neck to ensure he will not escape.

Xiao Jianfa spread his spirit sense in a thousand-kilometer radius to check if something was amiss. He hoped that the bloodlust and killing intent did not come from Wang Ling.

But even after a minute of searching, he came up empty-handed.

Xiao Jianfa raised his hands and admitted his defeat, "It is my lost, now, get those swords of yours away from my neck and heart. "

Wang Ling kept his swords away. He heaved a sigh of relief and shortly began reeling in his bloodlines and qi. The Shroud of Sanctifying Blaze went out and Wang Ling was then assailed with exhaustion.

Although the Shroud of Sanctifying Blaze heals his physical body, the continuous usage of qi still takes a toll on him overtime. Wang Ling was feeling tired but his mind was rather clear so he wouldn't be losing unconsciousness any time soon.

He stood tall in front of Xiao Jianfa who had a confused and worried look on his face. Wang Ling knew what Xiao Jianfa was worried about.

The killing intent and bloodlust that escaped him was at first something he did not want to show to any of his family members. Such thick killing intent and bloodlust was not something a mere youth with 4 years' worth of experience should possess.

But Wang Ling had no choice but to make that decision else he would have lost sooner or later. After all, Xia Jianfa did not even use anything that is beyond the capabilities of a Sword Heart level swordsman.

If what Xiao Fei'er said about Xiao Jianfa was real, then Wang Ling would have lost to him in mere seconds.

[He's strong, but if I didn't use such tactics to surprise him and make him act instinctively against someone possessing such density of killing intent and bloodlust.

It was rather a cowardly way to win this match, but he was too sure of himself and added that rule. Heh, in the end, pride and arrogance is your downfall.]

Wang Ling was not looking down upon his grandfather as he commented about his decision to add that rule of him not going above the limitations of a middle-grand saint he just found his actions laughable.

While Wang Ling was thinking of this matter, Wang Hong flew from below and came to Wang Ling's and Xiao Jianfa's side. Even after the fight was concluded, he was still at a lost for words.

He moved beside Wang Ling and asked him with a serious voice, "How did you train to reach such heights, older brother? Even I will be hard press to even last for ten breathes against grandfather, but you actually won against him."

Wang Ling turned to Wang Hong after waking up from his daze, he smiled at him and answered, "I train in a way that only works for myself and my bloodline if I tell you how I train, you might copy it which may end resulting badly rather than good."

Wang Hong shook his head, "I will not copy older brother, I just wish to know how you train."

Wang Ling sighed as he answered, "I simply make use of the regenerative capabilities of my bloodline and then force my body to repeat the movements I make over and over again. Sometimes I'll continue doing it for days, sometimes it will last for months with me ending up getting enlightened. But to ensure that my senses are sharp, I go hunt for spirit beasts that have higher cultivation than mine. That way, I will be able to incorporate what I learn in my training in actual combat."

Wang Hong nodded his head as he listened to Wang Ling pull some bullshits out of his ass. But his words do ring true with bits of his previous training springing up here and there.

In the end, he said something serious to Wang Hong, "You are a genius Wang Hong, and the Spear of War that I gave you will help you elevate your skills to the next level. If you are to train on it properly, you will reach the level-4 mastery of the spear before you reach Celestial Phase. Just train hard and keep looking at the top, grab every opportunity that may arise."

Wang Hong nodded his head as he kept Wang Ling's words to heart. Though he might not be able to use his way of training, the words that had been given by Wang Ling will be carried by him till the end.

Xiao Jianfa on the side sighed as he finally came in terms with what exactly just happened. He connected the bloodlust and killing intent to Wang Ling, he brought out the Bleeding Clouds and showed it to Wang Ling.

"This is the sword that you wanted and according to the agreement that we had, I have to hand it over to you." Xiao Jianfa looked hesitant to give it to Wang Ling, but he had to honor his words and in the end, handed it over to Wang Ling who accepted the sword with a wide smile on his face.

Xiao Jianfa saw Wang Ling accept the Bleeding Cloud and for a split second, he saw the Bleeding Cloud hum in delight. But he decided to disregard that sight, he had too many things going on in his head regarding Wang Ling.

"Ling'er, why do you even want that sword? Aside from reaching new heights, there must be some other reason why you want that sword correct?"

Wang Ling rubbed the sword with his hands, he had yet to form the proper connection with the Bleeding Cloud so at the moment his mind was still unaffected.

He looked at Xiao Jianfa and answered with a mysterious smile. "I want to collect the fragmented sword of Wang Wudi and reforge them into a single sword."

Xiao Jianfa listened to Wang Ling's words and knew that such a thing was impossible. But he could not help but feel that with Wang Ling, it was a possibility.

Xiao Jianfa chortled as he asked half-jokingly, "The sword fragments are in the possession of renown swordsman of the realm, their cultivation is the same as mine and their achievement in the sword is about the same as mine do you think you will be able to take those swords away?"

Wang Ling nodded his head confidently, "Yes."

"But what if they refuse to duel you? What would you do? Give up?"

Wang Ling did not answer but in his mind, he was smiling.

[If they don't agree then I will destroy them and take my sword back. They will have the pleasure to watch their clans get destroyed because of their stubbornness.]
