Chapter 970: 970
His vision penetrated slowly . A hundred meters, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred… When it reached a thousand meters, which was the limit of Su Yu’s line of sight, he finally discovered two scuffling figures . He even recognized one of them!

It was a very good-looking young man of about 25 or 26 years of age, with a pair of thick, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes . He was Senior Brother Tang, who was earnestly protecting his love .
At the moment, he was fully engaged in a great battle with a woman clad in the attire of Purple Cloud Palace . Both of them had top-notch cultivations of eighth-grade Almighty, and every attack they launched swept across the surroundings . Despite being a thousand meters away, Su Yu could still feel the ferocity of their techniques .
If Su Yu was fighting against either of them, without a couple of ultimate prominent skills, it would be hard for him to triumph within a short period of time .
The two of them had been fighting for a while now, and the surrounding area was in a chaotic mess, Both of them had bloody scars and wounds on their bodies, especially the woman, who was breathing heavily from the exertion . Her spiritual energy had been severely consumed, and her strength was being drained . Under the gravitational pull of the Purple Cloud Secret Realm, the consumption of bodily strength was particularly intense .
In comparison, Senior Brother Tang appeared slightly better than the woman, perhaps because he was a male, or because he had received body-refining training before . If no accident befell him, Senior Brother Tang would ultimately rise as the winner .
“Tang Ling, do you really want to fight with me till the end? Both of us have top-notch cultivations . If we are eliminated just like that, it’ll be a pity!” The woman recoiled after landing a head-on attack and rebuked her opponent softly .
Tang Ling paused and stared at the woman . “Junior Sister Cao Ling was the one who started the fight in the first place . If not for my skills, wouldn’t I have been eliminated by you already? Now that you choose to call a ceasefire, I might agree .
Cao Ling smiled gracefully . “Senior Brother Tang Ling, please forgive me for being restless and picking this fight with you recklessly . Here’s a bottle of Strength Recovery Elixir, which is useful for replenishing spiritual energy and bodily strength . I believe this could be some sort of compensation for you . If we carry on fighting, I’m afraid we’ll be losing to a third party,” she said .

Tang Ling frowned . After contemplating the benefits and losses involved, he decided to let it go . “Humph, if we meet again in the Glittering Jewel Wonderland, you won’t be this lucky again! This time is fine, but there will be no next time!”
Cao Ling was right . Their great battle was becoming more and more intense . The outsiders could possibly have targeted them already . Perhaps, someone was already watching them closely, awaiting the fall of both parties .
Cao Ling laughed and tossed the jade bottle through the air over to him .
Tang Ling was alert and did not catch it . Instead, he rolled it up with his sleeves . After getting hold of it, he fixed his gaze on it and smiled . “Yes, this is indeed the Strength Recovery Elixir . I’ll leave now,” Tang Ling said with cupped hands . He did not ingest the elixir right away but was planning to take it to a safe place and examine it closely before ingesting it . As he spoke, Tang Ling stepped back cautiously .
However, light contempt appeared on Cao Ling’s face . “Why don’t you take it right here . Are you afraid that I might harm you?”
“Haha, is it possible that you’d feel reassured about the things that I give you?” Tang Ling asked in return .
Cao Ling smiled slyly . “Of course I worry . If I was intending to poison you, I wouldn’t have done it on the elixir, but on the smell . ”
Smell? Tang Ling was startled, and then his face fell drastically, as he instantly threw away the jade bottle in his sleeves . Nonetheless, it seemed to be too late . All of a sudden, Tang Ling’s entire body began to convulse as white froth flowed out from his mouth as if he was electrified . He collapsed stiffly, and only his eyes managed to turn rapidly as shock and panic flickered in them .

“Hehe, this long-awaited moment has finally come . ” Cao Ling stepped forward, giggling . “Do you know how to deal with your peers? I’ve simulated it dozens of times in my mind, and have even used it often in the Purple Cloud Secret Realm . The effect is very satisfying . ”
To the people of the Purple Cloud Palace, the Purple Cloud Secret Realm was like their own backyard . They could apply such dueling techniques anytime . Tang Ling had fallen into the trap .
His body convulsed vigorously and his eyes were upturned, seeming like he was about to be transported away .
Cao Ling squatted down and tapped his cheeks while half-smiling . “Farewell Senior Brother . It looks like you will only take part in the Glittering Jewel Wonderland in a hundred years later . ”
Once she had finished talking, Cao Ling grasped hold of the Purple Cloud Vital Energy on top of Tang Ling’s head . However, her face changed abruptly just as she was about to strike . Not only did she withdraw her hand immediately, but she bounced backward rapidly .
Swish!
She was too late . A blade of snowy white bright light suddenly emerged from Tang Ling’s sleeve and was driven through Cao Ling’s abdomen . The tremendous strength swept Cao Ling off her feet and she flew backward, crashing into a huge tree .
Cao Ling clasped her abdomen and looked at Tang Ling, who was slowly crawling to his feet, in utter disbelief . “You’re not poisoned?”

Tang Ling wiped the white froth from the corners of his mouth, a scornful sneer on his pained face . “Do you really think you can fool me with such petty tricks?” He removed a piece of amber from his chest, and the shape of a white-colored insect was condensed within the amber . It was snow-like and was emitting a light fragrance .
“The Hundred Poisons Spiritual Cicada?” Cao Ling was shocked . The Hundred Poisons Spiritual Cicada was a kind of spiritual insect that had been extinct since ancient times . Rumor had it that it survived by devouring various poisonous things in the world . It was usually used as a spiritual object to resist poisons during ancient times . In the present era, this thing was extremely hard to find . Occasionally, there would be fossils that seemed to be wrapped in amber . Even just fossils, which gave off the light fragrance, were enough to resist poisons .
That was why Tang Ling was clearly poisoned at the beginning but remained unharmed afterward . How could Cao Ling have known that Tang Ling had brought such a valuable treasure with him?
“Junior Sister, it’s over now . ” Tang Ling laughed coldly and launched his powerful punch ruthlessly . The punch contained Tang Ling’s full force, and the severely injured Cao Ling would be no match to him .
Cao Ling felt her life being threatened, and a space energy appeared in her surroundings, enveloping her and transporting her away from the region .
A whiff of the Purple Cloud Vital Energy on top of her head was left behind, which Tang Ling caught in his grip . The Purple Cloud Vital Energy flew into Tang Ling’s head, strengthening his original Vital Energy by two great folds .
After completing what had just happened, Tang Ling glanced at the vicinity and prepared to leave immediately, to search for a place to recover his spiritual energy and bodily strength .
“Who’s there?” Tang Ling suddenly called out .
Su Yu was slightly stunned…Have I exposed myself?
After thinking about it, Su Yu retreated slowly . Suddenly, he stopped moving, and his gaze was fixed on a spot a thousand meters away, at a place beyond his line of sight . He sensed an overpowering scent closing in slowly .
Tang Ling seemed to have sensed something too as his face hardened . His stare was fixed on a place a hundred meters away .
Clouds and mist were rolling turbulently in torrents as if some ferocious beast was gradually approaching from the depths of the clouds . The surroundings were silent . The insects had stopped screeching, and even the winds had grown quiet too . Only the clouds which were roiling forth ceaselessly were emitting an unusual oppressive vibe .
Even Su Yu had felt the abnormal oppression from a thousand miles away . He had seen many Almighty experts in the past and had even killed the ninth-grade Almighty with his own hands . However, none of the Almighty strong men could make him feel this worried . It was as if he wasn’t facing an Almighty, but an All Creations Old Monster .
Drops of cold sweat broke out on Tang Ling’s forehead, and he clenched his fists tightly subconsciously . He bellowed in a low voice, “Who is there?”
