My Pretty Campus Queen

"Oh, so you’re here to extinguish my soul, huh?" Daoist Taixuan deliberately provoked.

"How could I dare? Besides, I can’t defeat you. So I’m pleading with Daoist Taixuan to spare me and help me open the door. I would be deeply grateful." Chen Tianlong humbled himself to plead.

"Well, why should I help you? You’re not anyone to me, and besides, I’m just a soul here; your gratitude doesn’t seem to matter much." Daoist Taixuan couldn’t be bothered, carrying an indifferent attitude.

Chen Tianlong was truly speechless; he couldn’t fight nor plead. Apparently, the hardest part of this tower was right here. But Chen Tianlong wouldn’t give up; since he had come, he must take the gamble.

He suddenly stepped forward and said, "Daoist Taixuan, since I’m here today, I must go through this door. If not, I will have no choice but to offend you."

As he spoke, he leaped forward, swinging the Dragon Slayer Sword, the Sword Qi swiftly cutting towards Daoist Taixuan. But Daoist Taixuan was unfazed by Chen Tianlong’s attack, waving his hand lightly, dispersing the Sword Qi entirely.

"Overestimating yourself!"

After Taixuan spoke, he made a vigorous flick with his hand, sending a powerful airstream towards Chen Tianlong. Chen Tianlong dodged quickly, but the airstream hit a stone pillar behind him, leaving a large gap in the pillar.

Chen Tianlong was greatly surprised; the difference in power was immense. But for the sake of unlocking the Dragon Slayer Sword, he was willing to sacrifice anything. Thus, he immediately began another round of attack. Just as he was about to strike, Daoist Taixuan spoke.

"Young fellow, you should save your energy; you’re no match for me."

Taixuan pondered for a moment, feeling like a challenge might be exciting: "Alright, I don’t want to bully the weak. If you take three moves from me and survive, I will open the door. Do you dare to bet?"

Chen Tianlong thought for a moment and then cheerfully said, "Alright, you have my word."

"Nonsense, as if I would lie to a kid like you. But be prepared; three moves might cost you your life. Don’t think you escaped my attack earlier; I let you on purpose." Daoist Taixuan didn’t wish to harm this young man, but since he was sent by the Taiyi Sect, he didn’t relent.

"That’s fine." After taking a deep breath, Chen Tianlong said, "Let’s begin."

"Chen Tianlong, be careful." Wu Mengting spoke up, her eyes showing worry.

Chen Tianlong knew Wu Mengting cared for him, nodding knowingly. Even he wasn’t confident he could evade Taixuan’s three moves.

The next moment, Daoist Taixuan let out a cold sneer, then steadied himself. Chen Tianlong clearly felt the surrounding air seemed to be condensing, as if being vacuumed.

In an instant, Taixuan suddenly made a move, the speed was astonishing, but he used only fifty percent of his power.

Chen Tianlong barely reacted when a powerful palm struck his chest, sending him stumbling seven or eight steps before he couldn’t stand properly, falling to the ground. His chest felt heavy, he coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, eyes seeing stars.

He quickly meditated, channeling the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique, barely stabilizing his body. But Chen Tianlong knew he was seriously injured; if another palm struck, it might be the end.

"Young man, go back, don’t face it anymore; you won’t survive my next move." Taixuan’s words were truthful.

After a while, Chen Tianlong finally caught his breath. Wu Mengting was beside him, patting his back, saying, "Chen Tianlong, maybe we shouldn’t go, look at your condition."

Ignoring Wu Mengting, Chen Tianlong stubbornly stood up, his body shaky, face pale.

"Once more."

Chen Tianlong’s voice trembled slightly.

"Young fellow, you have spirit, but don’t disregard your life." Daoist Taixuan was somewhat reluctant to strike.

"Daoist Taixuan, you promised, no turning back."

Chen Tianlong spoke gasping for breath.

Taixuan shook his head, wondering if all Sword God’s heirs were so stubborn.

But since he was from the Taiyi Sect, the thought enraged him, so he immediately gathered strength, making a vigorous swing, maintaining the same attack power.

At this moment, Chen Tianlong managed to dodge the central attack, but the side-stream of Qi was enough to impact him, sending him flying heavily only to land nearby.

Wu Mengting ran over immediately, helping Chen Tianlong up.

"Chen Tianlong, how are you feeling, isn’t it uncomfortable?" Wu Mengting asked, but got no response.

Worried, Wu Mengting shouted, "Chen Tianlong, wake up, you can’t leave Wu Mengting!"

She yelled for a while but heard nothing, then checked his breath with her fingers, shocked he wasn’t breathing.

Wu Mengting’s tears flowed immediately, not from fear, not from worry, but from a deep sense of loss.

"Chen Tianlong, how can you leave Mengting, what should I do?"

Crying, Wu Mengting murmured.

Soon, Chen Tianlong coughed a few times, spitting out blood, scaring Wu Mengting.

Thanks to the Nine Yang Celestial Dragon Technique he practiced, he found resurrection after seeming death, enabling internal repair of injured meridians, expelling residual blood.

"Chen Tianlong, you woke up, you scared me to death; I thought you..."

"Young fellow, do you want to continue? You miraculously survived, but this time I won’t let you off." Taoist Taixuan said as he began gathering Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, ready to unleash a powerful strike. As the air started swirling in reverse, nearby chains clanged under immense force; Taixuan clasped hands, suddenly pushing his palms out.

Chen Tianlong brought the Dragon Slayer Sword before him, exerting defense, only to hear a tremendous explosion, finding himself unharmed.

At this moment, Wu Mengting and Chen Tianlong opened their eyes, spotting a familiar figure standing before them, none other than Daoist Taiyi.

Daoist Taiyi noticed Chen Tianlong’s danger from the Spirit Realm, stepped in due to urgent necessity. Because Chen Tianlong had his Soul Token, Taiyi easily teleported to the tower.

"Taixuan, long time no see!" Daoist Taiyi said casually.

"Hmph, it’s you again ruining my plans." Daoist Taixuan, seeing Taiyi, burned with anger.

"I didn’t want our matters to involve this young fellow, so I came out." Daoist Taixuan apologized.

"Alright, today we’ll settle our accounts." Taixuan spoke directly.

"I didn’t expect after so many years you’re still so stubborn, whether affection or love, we’re of the same root, why harm each other?" Taiyi said earnestly.

"Don’t preach to me, all I know is if not for you, Yun Qi wouldn’t have died, your concealed truths led her to die with regret."
