Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO-Chapter 697 - Wherever Life Takes Us First

Chapter 697: Chapter 697 Wherever Life Takes Us [First Update] Chapter 697: Chapter 697 Wherever Life Takes Us [First Update] “Dragon Slayer!”

With Ling Tian’s first move came the strongest martial arts technique. As his sword struck, the heavens and earth seemed to change color, and the dragon’s roar combined with the sword’s cry to form a blade that furiously slashed towards Li Xiaoyao.

Feeling the powerful attack that seemed almost to defy the heavens, Li Xiaoyao remained utterly composed, his faintly lifted face filled with determination and a murderous aura.

“Sword Control Technique!”

The Seven Star Ancient Sword was tossed into mid-air, instantly transforming into tens of thousands, clustering densely like a giant net. Under Li Xiaoyao’s mental command, it shot towards Ling Tian’s attack.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Xiaoyao quickly formed hand seals. As the two attacks collided, a destructive energy burst forth, turning into an invisible force that surged in all directions.

“Divine Invocation Technique, call upon the immortals!”

...

His face half-shaded by sunlight, he bellowed at the rapidly assembling dark clouds above.

The next second, everyone saw a mysterious rift appear in the sky overhead, and a figure flashed by.

“Boom!”

Li Xiaoyao’s body, already full of momentum, erupted with an even more terrifying presence in that instant.

It carried a pressure akin to Dragon Might, so imposing that even Li Chengfeng, who had only just advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, felt a chill in his body and an unconscious impulse to prostrate in worship.

As if the Li Xiaoyao above was not a man but an immortal deity.

A feeling of immense power filled Li Xiaoyao entirely; he could sense that every inch of his muscles contained a strength that was astonishing.

This power gave Li Xiaoyao the illusion that he only needed to lift a hand to crush Ling Tian.

“Senior, may I take control of my body?” Li Xiaoyao negotiated with the invoked spirit, for the purpose of his use of the Divine Invocation Technique was to unleash an even more powerful Trapped Sky Finger.

But such a request was difficult, for the summoned divinity was there to assist in battle, and now he was asking for control, which was likely hard to grant.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoyao’s luck was not bad; even as he spoke, he heard the other party speak, and the voice sounded somehow familiar.

“Kid, I told you we are fated, and here we meet again.”

Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment; the more he listened, the more familiar the voice became. Raising an eyebrow, he asked, “Senior?”

“Hmph, seems you haven’t forgotten me.”

Li Xiaoyao couldn’t help but sigh inwardly—what a small world it was. To think that calling upon the Divine Invocation Technique twice would summon the same person, his luck truly defied the heavens.

“Eh, haven’t seen you for a few days, and your cultivation level has broken through?”

“Yeah, just lucky,” Li Xiaoyao replied modestly.

“Tsk tsk, to the Spirit Condensation Realm already, huh? I remember the last time you were only Fourth Rank of the Golden Core Realm. How many days has it been? Luck alone doesn’t explain this, kid, I have high hopes for you,” the spirit marvelled.

On the other side, Ling Tian looked over with uncertainty and suspicion. Although he had never seen Li Xiaoyao use the Divine Invocation Technique before, the sudden surge in Li Xiaoyao’s aura made him more cautious; after all, this youngster couldn’t be judged by normal standards. Additionally, Li Xiaoyao’s peculiar manner of talking to himself was truly strange.

“If this is what you call your trump card, then you have greatly disappointed me,” Ling Tian said, shaking his head and his tone full of mockery.

Li Xiaoyao ignored him and continued, “Senior, may I control the body?”

The spirit hesitated: “Kid, although your cultivation has improved a lot, you still have a significant gap compared to that little guy. If I control the body, even if I can’t kill him, at least I won’t be killed. If you take over…”

Even without finishing the sentence, Li Xiaoyao understood.

Within the same body, a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm and one in the Golden Core Realm would wield entirely different levels of power.

At the moment, Li Xiaoyao was that Qi Refining cultivator, and the spirit was the Golden Core Realm cultivator.

Whether it was his battle consciousness or his control over power and spiritual energy, Li Xiaoyao fell far short of a Divine Soul.

However, this did not mean that Li Xiaoyao couldn’t demonstrate formidable strength.

“Senior, I can kill him!” Li Xiaoyao’s thin lips, sharp as a blade’s edge, slightly parted as he uttered words that made the Divine Soul furrow his brow.

“Although I admire you, your statement is still too arrogant,” said the Divine Soul with a hint less warmth in his voice. He was amazed by Li Xiaoyao’s progress and held high hopes for him.

Moreover, in this world depleted of spiritual energy, it only highlighted how terrifying Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation talent was.

While cultivation talent was important, mentality was even more so.

The words spoken by Li Xiaoyao made him feel that the lad seemed a bit too arrogant, which was not a good thing.

“Senior, I can kill him!” Li Xiaoyao repeated, his voice steady and confident.

“Enough, enough,” the Divine Soul said disappointingly, “If you wish to court death, so be it.”

It was obvious he did not believe in Li Xiaoyao.

Li Xiaoyao did not need his belief; what he needed was the Divine Soul’s power.

In an instant, Li Xiaoyao felt a solid sense of belonging under his feet, as the power finally returned to his hands.

Stretching his arms, Li Xiaoyao clenched his fists, familiarizing himself with the power. Then, lifting his gaze slightly, he locked onto Ling Tian and almost immediately formed a hand gesture with his left hand.

As the hand gesture was rapidly formed, thunderclouds rolled in the sky above, with thunder shaking the heavens.

“It’s the ‘Calling the Thunder’ technique!”

“Master will definitely not lose!”

The seven clenched their teeth; in their eyes, Ling Tian was like a godly being. How could he possibly lose to a junior, even with the ‘Calling the Thunder’ technique?

About ten kilometers from the training base, on a highway, several off-road vehicles were speeding towards the area like the wind. In the passenger seat was a middle-aged man dressed in military uniform, who was surprised to see the changes in the distant sky through the windshield.

“What is that!”

“Why is there suddenly thunder?”

“It’s not thunder; it’s a spell!” said the man solemnly, “Li Chengfeng is not alone; I fear Li Xiaoyao is also here!”

“What? Li Xiaoyao!”

Everyone in the vehicle had heard of Li Xiaoyao’s terrifying combat record, undefeated in battle since he came into the public eye.

Whether it was battling the Tang Family of Jindu, the Tian Jian Sect, the Qianye Family, or the Huo Family of Zhu Island City, he had swept through them all with an overwhelming presence.

Yet, this time he was facing Ling Tian, the military genius.

“That must be Li Xiaoyao’s ‘Calling the Thunder’ technique. I’m afraid they have already started fighting by now.”

“What should we do? General Ling has really been too impulsive this time, and the military is somewhat on the back foot because of him.”

“Regardless, let’s get there first and hope that Li Xiaoyao can hold out until we arrive.”

They did not believe that Li Xiaoyao could triumph in the battle against Ling Tian. Even though his ‘Calling the Thunder’ technique was powerful, Ling Tian was even mightier, like an insurmountable mountain peak that no one dared to climb.

Following these vehicles, there was another off-road vehicle, inside of which sat a man with an expressionless face.

He was Nangong Xuan.
