THE LING TIAN LEGEND
episode 196

What he did not expect was that Yu ManTian's skill was actually at such a high level! He had exerted all his available strength and even used the unique skills of the DongFang Family, but all of his strength was actually forced back by Yu ManTian to the point that his internal organs received a large amount of damage! His initial intention to feign weakness somehow became real, making him depressed beyond belief! All of this was based on inaccurate intelligence reports which made him greatly underestimate Yu ManTian.

The reason why Yu ManTian had such crazy martial skills was because of his fanatical attitude of martial arts. Six months ago when he dueled Ye BaiFei, he won, but was pitiful with seven stab wounds. As the saying goes, ‘someone will dare to change when met with shame’. He had poured his heart and soul into training, experienced a breakthrough and reached the peak of the lower gold jade level! On the way to the Sky Bearing, he again suffered losses under Ling Tian, thus making him more determined, and of course his cultivation progressed very quickly.

In an instant, DongFang JingLei had already lost, and seeing all the guards nearby looking furious, he immediately admitted defeat. If one of them made a wrong comment and created a great war, no matter who won or lost, a bad relationship with the Yu Family would be a rock!

From Ling Tian's point of view as a spectator, DongFang JingLei's original intentions were clear. Putting himself in the position of JingLei, this was the best strategy JingLei could use. However, it was a mistake for JingLei to use techniques from the World Defying Hidden Dragon Manual. This only made Yu ManTian even more excited to use his maximum strength, so his plan backfired! But Ling Tian still had a good impression of DongFang JingLei. His action of forcefully swallowing his blood was not to save face but to maintain his vitality. Furthermore, to admit defeat with such a graceful attitude, his attitude alone would earn the respect of others!

Yu ManTian gasped for breath several times, before shouting, “Excellent! Today's fight was many times better than the one I had with that black-clothed child! The DongFang family lives up to its name! DongFang JingLei, your skills are amazing, your fame must come from your services!”

DongFang JingLei could only bitterly laugh. In order to prevent the loss of vital energy, he forcibly swallowed his blood, which was extremely dangerous for him. Right now, his face was deathly pale as he spoke, “Since Third Master has enjoyed it, can I have the honor of inviting you to drink tea and to further improve our relationship?” He may be injured, but he has not forgotten his original mission. Attack during the hot iron, if he could befriend the Yu Family, then even a critical injury would be happily taken by him!

Yu ManTian assessed him, before commenting, “It would be better if you rest and recover first. This Third Master still had to visit BeiMing and NanGong. I'm hoping that their experts will be your standard at least. I'll say goodbye first!”

DongFang JingLei smiled as he saluted, “Then I will not retain Third Master.” His attitude was natural and unrestrained, as if there were no fights between them.

Ling Tian's face showed a warm smile as he assessed DongFang JingLei. In his heart, the DongFang Family was greatly uplifted. For a family raising such a child, one could see that the family was no ordinary family, at least far above the standards of the NanGong Family. It seemed like the DongFang Family was also a group of hidden talents.

DongFang JingLei also smiled at Ling Tian as he said, “JingLei will be visiting young noble Ling in the next few days, as it looks like the young noble will be very busy today!”

Ling Tian laughed as he replied, “Your Majesty is too polite.” Deep down, he was filled with excitement; dongFang JingLei's eyes betrayed part of his mind, as if there was another meaning behind it. What purpose could he have?

After sending Ling Tian and Yu ManTian, DongFang JingLei's face turned from pale white to pale. He could no longer hold it in and returned to his room to rest.

The Yu Family's cultivation method was obviously unusual and was above the methods used by all the other Great Families. Not even the famous World Opposing Hidden Dragon Manual was a match! Looking at Yu ManTian's back, Ling Tian began to develop more of his own plans.

The next stop was the BeiMing Family, and the result was as expected by Ling Tian; their family's top expert only lasted for the time it took to drink a cup of tea under Yu ManTian's frenzied attack!

After going through battles with the XiMen and DongFang Families, Yu ManTian seemed to still defeat the BeiMing Family easily! There was a limit to one's energy and strength, and while Yu ManTian's energy was pure and beautiful, it wasn't forged from steel! However, he grew fiercer the more he fought, which confused Ling Tian endlessly. Based on his assumptions, Yu ManTian had to take the time to get rid of the BeiMing Family, then ended up with a draw in the fight with the NanGong Family.

However, Yu ManTian was like a living dragon and an excited tiger, jumping around excitedly all over the place! This was completely different from Ling Tian's original assumption, as his source told him that these people should have a cultivation similar to Ling Jian, or even deeper! At other times when he was fighting against Ling Jian, the battle was extremely bitter, so how could he be so relaxed after three rounds in a row?

After they came out of the BeiMing Family, Ling Tian excitedly placed his hand on Yu ManTian's shoulder, praising him endlessly, saying, but it silently released a thin thread of spiritual feeling and inserted it into his meridians. Surprisingly, he found that even though they had seen better days, Yu ManTian's injuries and fatigue were not as serious as he thought. What's the reason behind this?

Ling Tian had only seen it blindly from the corner of pure martial arts and had met a dead end in his mind. The moment Yu ManTian faced the three experts, was different from his fight with Ling Jian. When comparing records, while they might be competitive and insist on fighting to the end, no one would use a life and death battle for no good reason.

However, Ling Jian and Yu ManTian engaged in a life and death battle at a later time. Every move made was to reap the lives of opponents, making them dance at the door of death several times! Furthermore, Ling Jian's movement technique came from Ling Tian and was temporary and unpredictable. His intangible killing intent was locked onto Yu ManTian, and it also had a bad impact on his appearance. For all these duels, Yu ManTian constantly had a chance to recover. Also, because he kept winning, it caused his morale to soar to unprecedented heights; so why did he feel tired?

The Smoky Thea Tower was now right in front of them, but it had greatly changed from its current appearance a few days ago. It has been temporarily closed and reorganized. Everyone in the lobby was discussing this incident, but no one knew what was going on.

Two large banners, dozens of feet long, were hung on the roof. The golden words that flickered on them were half the size of a room, and together they formed a complete sentence.

The first banner reads, “Hero from the eight directions meet,” and other banners read, “Banquet for all heroes under Heaven,” and at the bottom it says “Thea smoky waiting for your presence, Ban, do you dare to come?” Only when someone approached could they see what was written on the red cloth and hung on the wall under the two banners.

“Heard that all the heroes under the sky had gathered in Sky Bearing, we from humble backgrounds were very excited beyond belief. The fame of the seven countries and the Eight Great Families had reverberated far and wide. To show our hospitality, Smoky Thea will not open daily reservations, but rather offer free rooms for the Eight Great Families! We hope this will make up a story that will be talked about in Sky Bearing for thousands of years to come, the honor of having such an expert living in our place. For all the heroes, we hope to see you here!” Written below is the location for everyone to gather, the lobby.

“All free! My grandmother, Thea Smoky, really has money. This is no ordinary brothel!” Yu ManTian could not help but whisper, and even the Xue brothers could not help but let out a surprised expression.

Only Ling Tian smiled bitterly, his original plan was to ask Gu XiYan to vacate the places around the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, the original plan was to ask Gu XiYan to vacate the places around the Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion, but he did not expect the woman to actually lock down the entire Smoky Thea Tower for this matter! To think that he could make such a fuss in just one day and night! Such resolution and determination made Ling Tian extremely happy; this Gu XiYan was definitely someone who could accomplish something!

By doing so, this would lead to different influences having doubts about what Smoky Thea was planning. But whether they feel suspicious or worried, as long as one family moves, the other will also move soon!

Although this might be a trap, in front of the heroes under the heavens, this was a matter of face that the great families could not afford to throw away! This is mainly for the words written on the red cloth, “Smoky Thea is waiting for your presence, do you dare to come?” This is a blatant provocation, as if to tell everyone, “Those who do not have the guts to stay here may also have to tail and go home!”
