Chapter 569: Chapter 565: Fighting Tuoba

Tuoba Yangyu was very patient.

Today was the day of his duel with Lin Hao, and he had arrived early at the same spot from five days ago.

Even after waiting for several hours, with Lin Hao nowhere in sight, Tuoba Yangyu’s expression remained unchanged.

He stood quietly with his eyes closed, like a stone statue.

But a closer look would reveal two streams of white energy flowing from his nostrils.

The two streams of energy were ever-changing, at one moment forming a dragon, the next a tiger...

Tuoba Yangyu was not the only one in this state.

A thousand meters away from Tuoba Yangyu, several young Martial Artists sat in meditation, positioned in various spots.

They, too, had similar streams of energy flowing from their nostrils.

This was the Upper House of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion. Everyone here was a one-in-a-million genius!

This continued until, at a certain moment, Tuoba Yangyu’s eyes snapped open. The other young Heaven-Breaking Pavilion disciples did the same.

A brilliant light flashed in Tuoba Yangyu’s eyes before vanishing.

In his line of sight, a figure shot forward like a meteor, arriving in an instant.

The person who appeared at this moment was, of course, Lin Hao.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." Lin Hao’s apology to Tuoba Yangyu was sincere.

Tuoba Yangyu showed no anger, replying calmly, "Waiting is a form of cultivation."

There was no hostility in their exchange. One would never guess they were about to fight to the death.

But just then, Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly.

’This Tuoba Yangyu is even more terrifying than he was five days ago.’

"You don’t seem to have made any progress. This day next year might just be the anniversary of your death," Tuoba Yangyu said with a smile, staring at Lin Hao for a moment.

Lin Hao returned the smile. "I plan on living a long life."

"Should I give you another five days? No, five days is too short for you. I’ll give you fifteen." Seeing Lin Hao’s current state, Tuoba Yangyu was already confident of his victory, so he made the generous offer.

Who would have known that Lin Hao’s face would light up as he answered happily, "Sounds good."

Hearing those two words, Tuoba Yangyu froze, his facial muscles twitching.

He had just been speaking casually. If he really gave Lin Hao fifteen days, who knew if Guan Zhengyang and Liu Bo would find a way to raise Lin Hao’s cultivation level.

The reason he said it was because he had spent the last few days specifically looking into Lin Hao.

From the information he had gathered, Lin Hao was an incredibly proud and arrogant person; such a comment should have been a deep insult to him.

But Tuoba Yangyu had never imagined Lin Hao would agree, and so readily at that.

"I was just kidding. Don’t mind me," Tuoba Yangyu heard Lin Hao say just then.

Hearing this, Tuoba Yangyu’s heart skipped a beat.

’Lin Hao is so infuriating!’

But the thought was fleeting. Tuoba Yangyu took a deep breath, and his expression returned to one of detached calm.

’Impressive,’ Lin Hao thought.

From the moment he had arrived and seen Tuoba Yangyu’s impassive state, Lin Hao had already raised his guard to the absolute maximum.

Now, seeing Tuoba Yangyu recover so quickly, Lin Hao’s internal alarms blared even louder.

This was the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion, a Holy Land for the Martial Artists of the Celestial Yang Continent, and Tuoba Yangyu was a disciple of its Upper House. Lin Hao had never dared to underestimate him, but now, seeing this, he felt immense pressure.

"Lin Hao, trying to disrupt my state of mind with words is a useless effort. Show me your true abilities," Tuoba Yangyu said, his gaze now filled with unconcealed contempt.

"Fine. Today, I’ll see for myself what a disciple of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion’s Upper House is capable of. I hope you don’t disappoint me." After speaking, Lin Hao’s body suddenly straightened like a sword.

Then, Lin Hao attacked.

Facing a disciple from the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion’s Upper House, Lin Hao didn’t dare to be careless. He either didn’t act, or he struck with a killing technique.

Lin Hao took a step forward, raised his hand, and pressed down. Heaven-Shaking First Stance!

Tuoba Yangyu was not only a disciple of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion’s Upper House, but before entering, he was also the successor to an esoteric sect on the Celestial Yang Continent that had not been seen for ages. Against such a Martial Artist, there was no room for clever tricks.

Lin Hao’s cultivation was now at the Peak of the Seventh Layer of the Soul Gathering Realm. Both his control over True Essence and its quality had improved significantly. The moment he unleashed Heaven-Shaking First Stance, the resulting power was terrifying.

Unlike before, as the pillar of energy descended from the sky, it blasted away all the lingering mist and vapor in the area.

It was as if that pillar of energy was the only thing in the world.

The pillar descended with suppressive force, faster than lightning.

Facing this pillar of energy descending from the sky, Tuoba Yangyu had no intention of dodging. He casually threw a punch.

The next moment, a colossal BOOM echoed, shaking the very heavens and earth.

Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed. ℴℴ𝘮

This was the first time he had seen someone so easily block this attack.

Although he wasn’t using his full power, this strike was definitely more terrifying than when he had used it on the Starry Ancient Road.

But even so, Tuoba Yangyu had blocked it with ease, a testament to his incredible power.

"A little interesting. Again." After blocking Lin Hao’s attack, Tuoba Yangyu didn’t even think of counter-attacking. He just stood there and spoke.

Lin Hao might be strong, but Tuoba Yangyu didn’t consider this level of power worth his attention.

At this moment, Tuoba Yangyu was showing blatant contempt for Lin Hao.

Because the Lin Hao of this moment was not worthy of being his opponent.

Lin Hao didn’t answer. He attacked again.

The same move appeared from Lin Hao’s hands.

Pillar after pillar of energy descended from the sky, only to be ruthlessly crushed by Tuoba Yangyu.

The area was completely drowned in the sound of terrifying impacts.

Space vibrated and distorted.

Although the Middle and Lower Houses of the Heaven-Breaking Pavilion were far from here, the disciples there still had to circulate their energy to resist the sound of the impacts.

Even if they sealed their Sixth Sense, they couldn’t escape the terrifying fluctuations.

"Lin Hao, I know you have more tricks up your sleeve. If you don’t use them now, you won’t get another chance. Come on, let me see this True Self Divine Soul of yours." In Tuoba Yangyu’s mind, Lin Hao only stood a chance if he used his Divine Soul.

In the past five days, not only had Lin Hao failed to break through, but he hadn’t either. However, he was now just one step away from the Ninth Layer of Soul Gathering Realm.

His goal today was to use Lin Hao’s True Self Divine Soul to achieve his own breakthrough. Otherwise, he would have attacked long ago.

But who would have thought that Lin Hao would refuse to use it, which was starting to piss Tuoba Yangyu off.

"My True Self Divine Soul... we’ll see if you’re worthy of facing it."

Before Lin Hao’s words had even faded, Tuoba Yangyu appeared in front of him, a finger stabbing forward.

In that instant, Tuoba Yangyu’s finger turned a shade of cyan.

The cyan finger contained an unimaginable, surging combat power, as well as a strange, restrictive force.

Facing this finger, Lin Hao felt a profound sense of crisis well up inside him.

From that single finger, Lin Hao felt the threat of death.

The next moment, Lin Hao was sent flying backward...
