Chapter 4067: Ancient Well

Ling Han launched a powerful counterattack, while Shi Yongming was extremely wary of Destructive Energy. He didn’t dare to face it head-on anymore, and had no choice but to avoid a confrontation and adopt a roaming battle strategy. He endlessly launched counterattacks from the side.

This?

Why had the tables suddenly turned?

“Er… Buddha Son disdains to fight head-on with this brat from the North Heavenly Realm.” The person who had previously been flattering Shi Yongming said.

This was really forced flattery.

Only a few people nodded reluctantly, while the others remained silent.

How were they supposed to respond?

Wasn’t it clear that Shi Yongming had been beaten to the point that he was running around in circles?

Hong! Hong! Hong!

After attacking a few more times, Shi Yongming finally launched a fierce counterattack. Boom, his whole body was once again covered in a layer of gold. The Buddha Halo was flickering, as if an Arhat had descended into the world.

“Monster, take this!” Shi Yongming approached with this attack. He knew that this attack could cause serious injury to Ling Han.

-After such a long time of recovery, he had accumulated a certain amount of Metal Element energy, which could allow him a burst of power.

“Do you think I’m afraid of you?!” Ling Han threw a punch with his left hand.

Peng!

The two of them exchanged blows again. A terrifying power surged over, and Ling Han was instantly sent flying. His left arm was completely drooping. From his meridians to his bones, he had suffered a serious blow.

However, Shi Yongming wasn’t much better. His golden body flickered, and he was about to exit this state again.

“Er… the Buddha Son used his golden body again. What’s going on?” someone asked.

The person who had previously boasted stuttered, as if he was searching for words. Then, he said, “That demon stubbornly resisted, causing the Buddha Son to become impatient. That’s why he wants to settle it once and for all.”

Alright, that was fine too.

Ling Han channelled the Ten Cultivation Technique, and his left arm immediately returned to normal. He charged towards Shi Yongming and kicked out with his right leg, which was similarly entwined with Destructive Energy.

‘Come, take this!’

Shi Yongming was enraged. So be it if Ling Han attacked him left and right with his fists, but what was the meaning of kicking out with a foot?

Just how much are you looking down on me?

He forcibly extracted the Metal Element energy, stabilized his golden body, and returned Ling Han’s attack.

Peng!

After this blow, Ling Han was indeed sent flying, but Shi Yongming also exited the Golden Arhat state once more.

Ling Han laughed loudly. The Ten Cultivation Technique instantly healed his right leg, and he shot out a kick. This time, it was his left leg.

Shi Yongming shouted in anger. In his eyes, this was a great humiliation.

However, without the support of his golden body, he would be affected by the barrage of murderous aura. His battle prowess would not be able to surpass Ling Han by six Heavens, and he did not have the sharpness of Metal Element energy either, so how could he pose a threat to Ling Han?

After exchanging a few blows, Ling Han was unscathed, while Shi Yongming felt extremely troubled. The Destructive Energy posed too much of a threat to him, and he didn’t dare to face it head-on at all. He could only avoid facing it head-on, which made him both anxious and angry.

The mighty Buddha Son was actually in such a passive position when he had the advantage in cultivation level?

How could he accept this!

However, there was nothing he could do. Not only did Ling Han possess astonishing defenses, but his recovery ability was also freakish. More importantly, this guy’s attack power was incredibly terrifying. How could there be such a freak in this world?

He was still fighting now, and had not retreated because he could not bring himself to do so. How could the Buddha Son cower from battle?

“Hey, can you explain the situation now?” someone asked the person who had previously praised Shi Yongming.

“Uh!” That person opened his mouth wide, wanting to say something nice about Shi Yongming, but didn’t know where to start. In the end, he still shut his mouth.

“Hehe, the two young prodigies, please stop for a moment.” A voice rang out from below. Everyone looked over, and saw that this was an old man whose hair was slightly grey. However, his cultivation level was only at the Cauldron Forging Tier.

“I am the Sect Leader of the Black Rock Sect,” the old man introduced himself.

‘Oh!’

Hearing his words, everyone came to a sudden realization. No wonder this old geezer would appear here. As it turned out, he was the owner of this place.

“It’s about time. According to Ancient Prosperity Saint’s instructions, this old man plans to start this battle of prodigies.” The old man didn’t even announce his name. In truth, no one would care even if he did. A weakling that could only be a Cauldron Forging Tier till death, how could he possibly gain the attention of these prodigies?

However, the competition for the Soul Nurturing Stone was about to begin, and this made everyone excited. However, there was still Ling Han and Shi Yongming, two indescribably powerful guys here, which made everyone extremely discouraged.

“I have tossed the Soul Nurturing Stone into an ancient well,” the old man said, “Whoever is the first to obtain the Soul Nurturing Stone will possess the Soul Nurturing Stone.”

He paused for a moment, then continued, “However, this ancient well is very strange. None of the people who went down have come out alive, and occasionally, there would be wails of grief, which is very terrifying.”

“Thus, without enough strength, please do not risk your life.”

Hearing his words, everyone was unconcerned.

-You are only a mere Cauldron Forging Tier, so how many elites could there be in the sect?

“Where’s the ancient well?” someone asked.

“Please follow me.” The old man turned around, and began to lead the way.

Shi Yongming humphed and said, “I’ll spare you this time!” After saying this, he turned

around and left.

He knew that he couldn’t defeat Ling Han, so this was naturally the best excuse for him to

stop the battle.

Ling Han smiled faintly, but did not pursue any further. Instead, he crossed his arms behind his back, and followed the old man.

As long as he obtained the Soul Nurturing Stone, he would definitely be able to cultivate the middle stage of the Core Formation Tier to the end, and enter the third stage of the Core Formation Tier. Furthermore, his battle prowess would definitely increase greatly as well. At that time, if he battled Shi Yongming again, he would not need to exert so much effort to be able to maintain a tie. Shi Yongming would be completely thrashed.

The old man led the way ahead, and soon stopped. It was seen that there was a house not far ahead of them, but where was the ancient well?

“The ancient well is in the house ahead,” the old man said. “Because that wail was too shrill,

a house was built to prevent the sound from spreading out.”

“Everyone, let me give you a warning again. The ancient well is extremely strange and

dangerous.”

After saying this, the old man turned around and left.

No one noticed that there was a sliver of anticipation in the old man’s eyes.

This ancient well had existed for who knew how many years, and had caused a great problem

for the Black Rock Sect. Thus, an idea came to him, and he threw the Soul Nurturing Stone into the ancient well. He was going to use these prodigies to solve this problem for the Black Rock

Sect.

-What if all these prodigies failed and died?

Then there would definitely be elites that would come. Furthermore, he was only acting under the command of the Saint. Who would dare to blame him? Wasn’t that a slap to that Saint’s

face?

“Haha, everyone, I’ll take my leave first!” Someone immediately rushed out, throwing a punch. Peng, the building in front of them was blasted into pieces, and as expected, there was

an ancient well inside.

“Move aside, I’ll go first!” Immediately, someone rushed out to intercept him.

Peng! Peng! Peng!

The two of them immediately began an intense battle. The matter was very simple. Whoever

entered the ancient well first would be able to obtain the Soul Nurturing Stone first.

All of a sudden, everyone scrambled over one another.
