WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 138: The Chasing

"Fifty thousand Yang Yuan Stones per person ..."

After hearing the words that had been spoken from Lin Dong's mouth, even though they clearly knew that their lives were in Lin Dong's hands, Cao Zhu still could not help but gather courage and growled: "Fifty thousand Yang Yuan Stones? Why don't you rob someone?”

"Did I not do it now?" Lin Dong lightly smiled as he waved the Ever-Flame Sword in his hand. The sharp blade carried a trace of red-hot energy as it slowly approached the throat of the two.

"Stop! Stop that!"

As they stared at the blade that was slowly growing larger in their eyes, Liu Long could no longer hold on as he hurriedly shouted. Upon seeing that Lin Dong's sword had stopped, Liu Long forced a smile as he said: "Brother Lin Dong, fifty thousand Yang Yuan Stones is really too much, really, I'm afraid we can't afford it."

"Your Life or Your Yuan Yang Stone, the choice is yours."

Lin Dong had a smile on his face as he declared. The smile looked friendly, however, in Liu Long and Cao Zhu's eyes, it looked more like a demonic smile. Only now did Liu Long finally understand how foolish the two of them were to stand in his way and try to get revenge. This person before them possessed strength that was practically comparable to senior Zhuo Tong.

“I don't have much time, I still have to go up to the tower. If you two can't decide, then, I should help you make a decision, right?” Lin Dong's finger lightly tapped on the Ever-Flame Sword in his hand as he laughed.

"Well, I'll give it to you!"

When he saw the hint of impatience on Lin Dong's face, Liu Long finally no longer dared to say anything as he firmly clenched his teeth and took out a Qiankun bag before throwing it towards Lin Dong.

Lin Dong accepted it and examined the contents before smiling while nodding his head. His gaze then turned towards Cao Zhu, who had become extremely pale as if his parents had died, and gently asked: "How about you?"

"All I have is just adding up to forty thousand Yang Yuan Stones."

Cao Zhu gnashed his teeth as he spoke, before seeing Lin Dong stretch out his hand: "Give it."

The corner of his mouth twitched for a moment and Cao Zhu could only bleed inside as he took out a Qiankun bag before throwing it into Lin Dong's hands.

"Haha, thank you so much for your gift."

As he stored the two Qiankun bags, the smile on Lin Dong's face became brighter. He swung the Ever-Flame Sword in his hand under the anxious eyes of Liu Long while laughing: "This sword is not bad, I will keep it."

After saying this, without the slightest bit of politeness, Lin Dong once again stored the Ever-Flame Sword into his Qiankun bag. He clenched his hands towards the two regretful figures on the ground as he grinned: "Thank you very much to the two of you, you are welcome to come again next time."

"Mk."

Upon hearing this, the originally anxious and extremely stressed duo immediately spewed out a mouthful of blood as the scene before their eyes began to turn slightly black. This time, they had already been milked to the dry from all their belongings, if they came again, even their blood and skin would not be taken?

After putting down his Qiankun bag, Lin Dong no longer paid attention to the two as he directly stepped towards the Mental Energy wall that blocked the path to the sixth level.

The Mental Energy Wall that blocked the sixth level was quite powerful, even Liu Long and Cao Zhu were unable to cross. It was said that in the previous Battle Tower, the best result the members of the Sky Fire City achieved was the sixth level, whereas the Yan City side had stopped at the fifth level.

Lin Dong stood in front of the wall of Mental Energy as Mental Energy slowly wrapped around his entire body. After which, under the gaze of Liu Long and Cao Zhu, he stepped forward.

When Lin Dong's body came into contact with the wave-like wall of Mental Energy, it slightly shook as ripples spread across its surface, while his body slowly moved until it disappeared.

"He's in?!"

As they stared at Lin Dong's disappearing figure, Liu Long and Cao Zhu's expressions changed. Surprised expressions filled their faces, during this Battle Tower, only two people managed to enter the sixth level: Zhou Tong from the Sky Fire City and Zi Yue from Yan City. However, from the looks of it, it seemed like this Lin Dong had also entered the sixth level.

"Senior Liu Long, what are we doing now?" Cao Zhu had a bitter and astringent expression on his face. This time, their losses were truly too great.

"What else can we do? Let's stay here as long as possible.” Liu Long spoke as he looked at Cao Zhu hatefully.

"Are we letting Lin Dong get away with that Yang Yuan Stone?" Cao Zhu was silent for a moment before he once again said in a very flat tone.

“What else can you do? The strength of the boy seemed to be comparable to senior Zhou Tong. Even the two of us combined together was no match for her. If not for the fact that no one was allowed to take the lives of others in the Battle of the Tower, that person would have definitely wiped out the two of us by now. If you still want to judge death, don't drag me down with you!” Liu Long shouted furiously. When he recalled the final result today, he was filled with anger. If he had known of this beforehand, he would not have been tempted by Cao Zhu's money. Outstanding results, not only did he gain nothing, he was even forced to expel all of his assets.

Upon seeing the enraged Liu Long, Cao Zhu gulped and no longer dared to speak any further. He could only wallow in despair like a beaten eggplant ...

…

In the space outside the Symbol Master Tower, grandmaster Yan and the others stared unblinkingly at the ash-coloured tall tower. Right now, the Symbol Master Tower was emitting a brilliant ray of light, if one were to examine this light, one would find that it was formed by countless specks.

These light spots gradually become dimmer from the bottom up. On the seventh level, there are no spots to be found, while on the sixth level there are two points of light. The light from these two points of light was extremely bright.

"It looks like Zi Yue and Zhou Tong have both entered the sixth level ..." As they stared at the two points of light at the sixth level, a middle-aged Symbol Master by the side of grandmaster Yan spoke. From his words, it seemed like these specks of light represented the number of people.

“It looks like victory or defeat will depend on both.” The other middle-aged Symbol Master also opened his mouth to speak. In the previous Battle Tower, the best result of the young Symbol Master from Yan City was only the fifth level. This time, they could be considered to have increased.

After grandmaster Yan heard this, he did not speak. His gaze paused for a moment at the fifth level, he believed that Lin Dong could definitely enter the sixth level with his strength, however, why had he not caught up until now?

Grandmaster Yan glanced at Han Yun, just as the first was about to reply, an alarm cry suddenly sounded from the side: “Are there others who entered the sixth level? Who'sis this?"

This alarmed shout caused grandmaster Yan to hurriedly turn his head. Han Yun was also somewhat surprised as his gaze turned to the sixth level. Sure enough, they discovered that another speck of light actually appeared there.

“Who is that guy? Among the Symbol Masters of our Sky Fire City this time, none of them have the strength to enter the sixth level right?” As they stared at the speck of additional light, Han Yun's brows furrowed tightly. If this person was not from his Sky Fire City, was he from Yan City?

At this thought, Han Yun glanced at grandmaster Yan from the corner of his eyes. Sure enough, he saw a hint of excitement flashed across the latter's face.

"That speck of light should be Lin Dong!" While Han Yuan's brows were still tightly intertwined, one of the middle-aged Symbol Masters from Yan City suddenly opened his mouth. Among the younger Symbol Masters in Yan City, only Lin Dong and Zi Yue could ascend to the sixth level.

“Lin Dong? That mediocre-looking kid? ” After hearing these words, Han Yun's eyes narrowed slightly. He did not realize that the brat who seemed to be a supporting actor beside Zi Yue actually possessed this kind of strength.

“Huh, it is useless even if you can enter the sixth level. My Sky Fire City is determined to obtain this Symbol Master Tower!”

Han Yun coldly snorted in his heart. From what he saw, there was no outstanding talent among the younger generation of the Symbol Master of Yan City. Only Zi Yue might be considered half worthy, yet, when compared to Zhou Tong, she was nothing. At that time, he would let Yan Xuan and the others know what a true genius is!

Compared to such geniuses, Zi Yue and Lin Dong were only fireflies under the moon!

…

In the empty sixth level of the Symbol Master Tower, heavy footsteps that were somewhat ear-piercing resounded.

The two figures were not separated by a great distance as the two of them stepped forward with heavy strides, towards the center of the sixth level.

“Fiuh..”.

The short distance not even a hundred steps had caused Zi Yue's fragrant sweat to flow like rain. The Mental Energy pressure around him that spread into the air was like a boulder as it constantly tried to master it. But in the end, it was borne by this freezing cold girl as she gritted her teeth.

"That guy, doesn't he feel tired?" Zi Yue raised her head as she stared at the figure. This figure belonged to Zhou Tong of the Sky Fire City, although the latter's move was also heavy, he seemed to be advancing at a constant speed. From start to finish, his pace did not slow down even under the pressure of Mental Energy here.

"Like this, you can't break through the wall of Mental Energy at the sixth level." Inside the empty Symbol Master Tower, Zhou Tong's calm voice suddenly sounded.

Zi Yue bit her red lips and did not reply. He continued walking forward step by step, harnessing his Mental Energy to its limit as he felt a dizzy sensation sweep over him.

Through these heavy steps, the two figures finally stopped in front of the wall of Mental Energy blocking the path to the seventh level.

"Sorry, your Yan City will still lose this time."

Zhou Tong stared at the wall of Mental Energy like waves in front of him. He could feel a strong surge of Mental Energy within it. Immediately after, he turned his head and indifferently smiled at Zi Yue.

"In your dreams!" Zi Yue's expression remained cold as ice.

Zhou Tong laughed. Among the young Symbol Masters of Yan City, only Zi Yue could deal with him head-on. However, this is the limit.

“I will enter the seventh level first. If you have the ability, come. ”

As his words rang out, Zhou Tong immediately stepped forward. The Mental Energy Wall immediately began to wriggle frantically as it emitted a terrifying surge of Mental Energy, as if it wanted to push it out. However, in the face of this pressure, Zhou Tong's body maintained his slow speed as he stepped into the Mental Energy wall before finally disappearing…

"He succeeded…"

As he stared at Zhou Tong's disappearing figure, Zi Yue's lily-white hands could not help but clasp tightly before he gritted his teeth and concentrated all of his Mental Energy around his body. Then, he also stepped towards the wall of Mental Energy.

"Buzz!"

When Zi Yue's body stepped onto the wall of Mental Energy, her complexion instantly turned pale. A terrifying surge of Mental Energy spread out as his body was thrown backwards as if it was exposed to a powerful force. A mouthful of blood came out of his mouth.

"Are we still going to lose ..."

The dizzy in his mind became increasingly intense as Zi Yue stared at the wall of Mental Energy that was growing further and further away. Bitterness and helplessness were revealed on her cold yet beautiful face, she had truly done her best.

“Dah!”

As Zi Yue prepared to close her eyes and completely give up, he suddenly felt a warm and tender hand on his slender, jade-like back as his figure that was flying backwards slowly landed on the ground.

This sudden support caused Zi Yue to be dumbfounded. Before he could regain his wits, a figure stepped past him and walked towards the wall of Mental Energy blocking the stairs to the seventh level.

“Give me the others. Since I was invited by grandmaster Yan, I must show some effort. Otherwise, someone would call me useless. ”

As he stared at the back of the person who had passed him, he once again heard a soft laugh echoing in his ears. Zi Yue's good figure immediately shook slightly as she stared in shock at the figure. He had not expected that Lin Dong could actually also enter the sixth level!
