Chapter 135: Who Dares to Stand Against the Sword

done behind Emperor Gyokudo's back!Otherwise, the court would be even more unbearable, and it wouldn't tolerate this!"Hmm!" Ling Hao mused, opening his mouth. "Over the past few years, Yutang has exp...>

"It's nothing!" Ling Hao smiled faintly and shook his head. "I just suddenly thought of this, so I asked you."

As she spoke, he took the jade pendant from Qin Yuxin's hand and examined it carefully, but found nothing unusual.

“Honey, this jade pendant must be special to you, right” Qin Yuxin smiled and said: “I’m returning it to its rightful owner now. Keep it safe yourself, don’t lose it!”

She is a smart woman, she wouldn't believe that Ling Hao suddenly remembered this!

She could tell from Ling Hao's eyes that something was up, and recalling the scene five years ago, Ling Hao had tightly clutched this jade pendant before falling into a coma, as if he was terrified of losing it.

She had wanted to return the jade pendant to Ling Hao two days ago, but she got busy and forgot about it.

"Thank you, wife!" Ling Hao smiled. "It does have some special meaning to me. I'll tell you about it later, okay"

He hadn't originally intended to ask Qin Yuxin to return the jade pendant to him.

But after what happened during the day today, he knew that keeping this jade pendant with Qin Yuxin could potentially cause her huge trouble. So it's better to take it back.

"Hmm!" Qin Yuxin leaned against Ling Hao's chest, her head nodding lightly.

She knew Ling Hao still had many secrets, but she wouldn't cling to him like other women demanding he tell her.

She believes that Ling Hao's silence must be due to temporary, unavoidable hardship. When the time is right, he will naturally tell her everything.

……

The next morning, Ling Hao and Qin Yuxin accompanied Ruiru to play outside for a while before heading home.

"Daddy, Uncle Lu is sleeping over there!" As they approached the villa courtyard, Ruirui pointed at Lu Yue who was sitting cross-legged under a pavilion not far away and spoke.

"Ruirui, Uncle Lu is practicing his martial arts, he's not asleep." Qin Yuxin responded with a smile.

"Yuxin, you take Ruirui home first." Ling Hao sensed the change in Lu Yue's aura and his eyes flickered slightly.

"Okay!" Qin Yuxin nodded and then, with Ruirui in tow, entered the small courtyard.

Ling Hao then walked toward the pavilion.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

As Li Yue walked within about twenty or thirty meters of the pavilion, the air around him started to flow faster, accompanied by a piercing whistle.

Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!

In a moment, dozens of sharp gusts of wind like blades slashed around him. Cracks immediately appeared on the pillars surrounding the pavilion.

At the same time, Lu Yue's aura continued to climb, filling the entire area with a sense of overwhelming pressure like Mount Tai pressing down.

"Hmm..."

After a few minutes, Lu Yue's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his aura became somewhat disordered.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ling Hao flipped his wrist, and three silver needles flew out, piercing Lu Yue's body with force.

Then, taking a few big strides, he came up behind Lu Yue and pressed his hand on top of his head while saying,

"One must sink their qi to the dantian, solidify their essence and spirit, seal off Baihui, Guan Yuan, Qi Hai, and Yongquan."

"Hmm!" Lu Yue raised an eyebrow, responding in a deep voice.

Whew!

A surge of powerful, yang energy flowed from Ling Hao's palm into Lu Yue's body. It then exploded within him like a bomb, instantly surging to every part of his body.

"...Hm..." Lu Yue frowned again.

He felt countless high-pressure air waves surging within his body, constantly impacting his meridians.

Without a second thought, he immediately focused his mind and gathered his qi, guarding the four acupoints: Baihui, Guan Yuan, Qi Hai, and Yongquan.

Whew!

Ling Hao's palm once again surged with true qi, its level rising to a new height, surging in like the floodwaters of the Yellow River bursting through its banks.

"Hm! "

After about ten minutes, Lu Yue's brows shot up, and a hint of joy flashed across his face.

He could distinctly sense that the shackles were loosening, and he could already glimpse a glimmer of dawn.

"Gather one's mind and Qi, follow the momentum, operate in cycles, and circulate Qi throughout all acupoints!" Ling Hao's voice rang out once more.

"Mmm!" Lu Yue nodded, urging his inner strength, circulating it through his body.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In a moment, the blades swirling around the two figures became even more ferocious. Besides the shockingly deep gouges etched into the pillars of the gazebo, several nearby sycamore trees were also riddled with wounds.

"Broken!"

After another ten minutes or so, Ling Hao spoke in a low voice and withdrew his palm.

Boom!

The next second, a surging wave of energy exploded from Lu's body. The entire gazebo collapsed like a flimsy paper structure.

The surrounding grass was lifted into the air, and the camphor trees snapped directly. Dry, yellow leaves danced all over the sky.

Whew!

After the gust of wind, Lu Yue let out a heavy sigh and opened his eyes. His pupils were filled with joy.

"Learn widely, extract the essence, accumulate steadily and then achieve great results! Breaking through two levels consecutively, very good!" Ling Hao smiled. "Congratulations on reaching the peak of the Warlord Realm!"

"Thank you, big brother!" She stood up and bowed deeply to Ling Hao, her face filled with gratitude.

As Ling Hao said, he not only successfully broke through the mirror, but also broke through two levels, directly breaking through from the Great Perfection of War Venerable to the Complete Perfection of War Venerable!

This is naturally the result of Ling Hao's help, otherwise, it would be unknown whether he could successfully break through to the peak of the Battle Saint this time!

War God Full Perfection!

The legendary War Sect is just one step away!

That is a realm that countless martial arts masters couldn't achieve even throughout their entire lives!

Only by breaking the mirror can one truly step onto the path to the peak of martial arts!

"Hee hee, I just went with the flow!" Ling Hao continued to laugh. "Actually, with your accumulation, I could directly help you break through and enter the sect!"

"However, breaking through too quickly at once isn't necessarily a good thing. First, solidify your Perfect Realm, and after a while, you can try the War Sect Realm!"

"Well!" Lu Yue beamed with delight and nodded vigorously.

He naturally sensed this too. During the process just now, he seemed to have glimpsed the dawn of the War Sect realm.

At the very last moment, Big Brother retracted his power, otherwise he would have shattered the mirror with one move.

"After suppressing it for so long, how come you suddenly decided to break through at this time" Ling Hao smiled again.

"It's time!" Lu Yue smiled in response.

I have a feeling that people from the Dark Domain won't give up so easily. Next time, whoever comes will definitely be stronger.

But your elder brother's injuries haven't healed yet, if two more late-stage Battle Venerables come next time, we'll be on the defensive.

"Heh heh, you don't seem to have much confidence in me!" Ling Hao laughed. "Opponents at the Battle Saint realm haven't even caught my eye!"

"Big brother, you mean your injuries have improved again" Lu Yue's eyes lit up.

"Hmm!" Ling Hao smiled and nodded. "In another one or two months, it should be basically done!"

"That's great!" Lu Yue beamed with delight.

"You could make a breakthrough right now, too. Some people have always wanted to see the true strength of the Blood Shadow Team, so let them see it for themselves!" Ling Hao stared ahead with a thoughtful expression.

After a slight pause, he continued, “Tell Qinglong and the others to stop suppressing themselves and give it their all in their breakthrough!”

"Received!" Lu Yue nodded solemnly.

"Alright, let's stop talking for now. You're still only in the pseudo-perfect realm. Focus on consolidating your cultivation!" Ling Hao waved his hand with a smile afterward.

His mood was naturally very good!

One was overjoyed for Lu Yue, who had reached the peak of Zhan Zun and would soon break through to enter Zong. His martial arts path was immeasurable!

The Second Legion being the Blood Shadow Squad is something to be proud of. From now on, the strength of the Western Frontier Army will rise several notches. Looking across the Five Regions, who can rival themest not deceive us, or you'll surely regret it!" Hearing this, Ling Hao spoke in a deep voice."Take him back and sketch the portrait!"All S-class fugitives on the Shadow Gate list are major criminals...
