Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable-Chapter 128: A Gift of a Thunderous Pearl

"Heheh, I guess you saw through me. But that old geezer, the Sword Ancestor, isn’t here, so I’m not afraid of you!"

Ye Tianling snickered.

VMMMM—

Wan Xuegui’s eyes were already bloodshot with fury. The terrifying power of his Sword Spirit Third Heaven realm suddenly erupted.

The terrifying might and Sword Spirit Power sent a tremor through Ye Tianling’s soul.

’So strong! Holy shit!’

Ye Tianling shuddered and immediately executed the Kunpeng Carefree Travel Body Technique, his figure instantly turning to flee at top speed.

"Trying to run?! Give me back my treasures! Give me back my disciple’s Projection Stone! You damned, shameless scoundrel!"

Wan Xuegui was practically jumping with rage, so furious he felt like he could cough up blood.

"My Thunderous Pearls!"

"My darling disciple, Ancient Fairy!"

"My Celestial Tier Top Grade Armor!"

"My Celestial Tier Top Grade Supreme Creation Pill!"

"The treasures I couldn’t even bear to use myself!"

...

Wan Xuegui wailed, on the verge of tears.

Seeing Ye Tianling flee, he gave vicious chase!

He remembered the Elder’s words and couldn’t let Ye Tianling off easily—while he couldn’t kill him due to the Dragon Race’s startling background, sealing him in a latrine for several decades or a century was a must!

Otherwise, how could he possibly vent the hatred in his heart!

"My dear grandson, why so fierce? Don’t forget, it was your grandpa here who guided you to your breakthrough!"

Ye Tianling said with a sly chuckle.

At the same time, his Kunpeng Carefree Travel Body Technique became even more ridiculously effective.

Just then, a ripple spread across the surface of the lake.

The aura of the Talisman Array Restriction was gradually weakening.

Ye Tianling immediately determined that the restrictive barrier Fang Qingxue had set up had vanished.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Ye Tianling shot toward the Blood-Colored Ice Lake like a bolt of lightning.

He had trump cards he could use against Wan Xuegui, but if he did, he’d surely be caught by Fang Qingxue. The price wasn’t worth it.

Besides, based on his normal battle power, Ye Tianling had already judged that he was absolutely no match for Wan Xuegui, who was approaching the Perfection realm of the Sword Spirit Third Heaven.

TING—

Suddenly, Wan Xuegui’s figure flashed like lightning as he lunged forward.

His Ten Thousand Thoughts in One Heart Sword Technique slashed fiercely at Ye Tianling’s body.

However, the defense power that erupted from the Celestial Tier Top Grade Armor completely nullified the attack!

Ye Tianling only felt a slight impact.

Ye Tianling was a little surprised. ’Wan Xuegui actually managed to hit me?’

’His battle power isn’t half bad!’

Wan Xuegui, on the other hand, nearly coughed up blood—from pure rage.

That Celestial Tier Top Grade Armor, the Spiritual Lotus Armor, was his own precious treasure, yet now it served as Ye Tianling’s Defensive Battle Armor!

"Ye Tianling, I will seal you in a latrine and suppress you for a hundred years!"

Wan Xuegui roared.

"So vicious! In that case, your grandpa is done playing with his dear grandson."

Ye Tianling chuckled and charged directly into the Blood-Colored Ice Lake.

"Great Demon Ye Tianling, don’t you run! Give back my treasures! Give back my disciple!"

Panicked, Wan Xuegui transformed into a streak of blood-red light and charged after him.

Ye Tianling plunged into the Blood-Colored Ice Lake, rushing toward a bright area up ahead.

The water’s resistance was immense, and his speed quickly diminished.

He was only able to move at all because his Kunpeng Carefree Travel Body Technique—an evolution of the Wave-Riding Light Step—was so incredibly powerful.

Wan Xuegui, however, was clearly hindered even more, forced to watch helplessly as Ye Tianling’s figure receded into the distance.

"Give back my treasures! Give back Ancient Fairy’s Projection Stone!"

Wan Xuegui roared, only to choke on a mouthful of lake water!

"Alright, come on over, and your grandpa will give them back to you!"

With a sly grin, Ye Tianling took out a Thunderous Pearl, infused it with energy from his Turtle Breath Technique, and stealthily planted it on the lakebed.

This spot was right in the path Wan Xuegui would have to take if he continued his pursuit.

"Damn you!"

Enraged, Wan Xuegui unleashed his Sword Spirit Power and forced himself to accelerate.

VMMMM—

As Wan Xuegui picked up speed, Ye Tianling immediately resumed his escape.

Soon, the distance between them closed to less than three hundred meters.

"My daoist partner, that Little Demon Fox Ancient Fairy, is just so adorable. Hahaha."

Ye Tianling suddenly taunted with a sly laugh.

PFFT—

Hearing this, Wan Xuegui was so enraged he spat out a mouthful of blood.

He gritted his teeth and accelerated again. With a sudden burst of power from underfoot, he stepped right on the Thunderous Pearl.

BOOM—

The entire Blood-Colored Ice Lake shuddered. A terrifying ripple of force sent Ye Tianling tumbling head over heels several times before he finally managed to stabilize himself.

’Whoa, what a powerful blast. But the resistance from the lake water is huge, so the actual destructive power is limited. A pity.’

Ye Tianling had just tested the underwater power of the Thunderous Pearl—it was strong, but not lethal.

Sure enough, when the massive shockwave exploded outwards, Wan Xuegui was blasted nearly a thousand meters away.

His Battle Armor was cracked and ruined, his body was covered in blood, and he cut a truly pathetic figure.

He looked like he’d been blown to bits, reduced to a beggar. His clothes were in tatters, the strips drifting in the water like little black snakes.

COUGH, COUGH—

He coughed, spewing a mouthful of black smoke and residual Power of thunder and lightning. His entire body spasmed intermittently.

Black arcs of lightning still flickered across his face, making him shudder uncontrollably.

It took a long moment for Wan Xuegui to finally come to his senses.

When he saw Ye Tianling watching him from a distance with a gloating expression, he let out a roar and charged again.

This time, Wan Xuegui chose a different route, carefully approaching from the side.

"I just gave you one of your Thunderous Pearls back. Don’t come any closer, or I’ll give you another."

Ye Tianling called out from his spot in the water, chuckling.

"You think you can stop me?!"

Wan Xuegui said through gritted teeth, suppressing his rage.

But no sooner had the words left his mouth than he stepped on another Thunderous Pearl.

He realized something was wrong and tried to escape, but it was too late.

BOOM—

Another massive explosion erupted.

Wan Xuegui was sent flying once more.

He was protected by the aura of the Sword Ancestor, and with the Thunderous Pearl’s power reduced to less than a tenth of its strength in the Blood-Colored Ice Lake, he was once again only injured, not fatally wounded.

But after being blasted a second time, he was starting to question reality itself.

’How could that Ye Tianling have known I’d change my route? That I’d take that exact path? This area is huge, how could he possibly read my mind? And even if he could, how did he plant the Thunderous Pearl there in advance to trap me?’

’To hell with this! I don’t believe it!’

An extremely foul taste filled Wan Xuegui’s mouth. At this moment, his desire to seal Ye Tianling in a latrine overshadowed everything else.

At this point, it wouldn’t matter even if the Elder himself showed up!

After the lake calmed down, Ye Tianling sat leisurely in the water, his robes drifting around him, looking exceptionally handsome and ethereal.

His waterfall of black hair flowed with the current, giving him an air of unparalleled charm.

The sight of him made Wan Xuegui’s blood boil. ’I’ve been blasted into a goddamn beggar, as miserable as can be, and you’re fucking sitting there enjoying the show? Looking so damn relaxed?’

Suppressing the urge to go berserk, Wan Xuegui advanced step by step.

"Still coming? I’ll give you one more Thunderous Pearl, and then you’d better stop chasing me. Your grandpa taught you how to break through; you don’t need to be *this* grateful."

Ye Tianling said with a snicker.

Wan Xuegui sneered. After changing his path three times, he continued his step-by-step approach.

This time, no third Thunderous Pearl went off.

Wan Xuegui changed his path again, switching back to the very first route he had taken.

’A ’trap’ was set here once,’ he thought. ’You can’t possibly set another one in the same place, can you?’

’Hmph. I, Wan Xuegui, am no idiot. Do you think I don’t know that you can’t set the same trap twice?’

As he mulled it over, he sneered, "If you’ve got the guts, then fucking blow me up again!"

"About to."

Ye Tianling’s face already wore the expression of someone watching a good show. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Wan Xuegui hated Ye Tianling to his very bones. Of course, he didn’t believe him. He not only stomped his foot down but also deliberately stepped to the side, a look of pure mockery and contempt spreading across his face.

But the instant that look appeared, his eyelid began to twitch violently, and his expression changed dramatically.
