34: Chapter 34 Teasing the Sisters of Miaoyu Sect

"Very well! Lin Kuang, since you want to challenge the Four Protectors of my Miaoyu Sect, show us your strongest form!"

Yu Xiaotang jumped up the moment she saw Lin Kuang.

The Miaoyu Sect was an Alchemist Sect, and their combat power was not very strong, so it was the four Yu Sisters who accepted the challenge.

Lotus smiled slightly upon hearing Yu Xiaotang's introduction. The Four Heavenly Kings?

Mei Hua patted Lotus gently and said softly, "The person Xiao Tang's heart relies on is here; let's just go along with her today!"

"Oh ho! Hey! Yu Xiaotang, who are you going to cheer for in a bit? It's so awkward~ On one side are the sisters you grew up with, and on the other is the one you love!" Lotus began teasing Yu Xiaotang as soon as she spoke.

Yu Xiaotang lowered her head, a blush creeping from her neck to her cheeks. After a long silence, she shouted loudly, "Of course... I'm cheering for Sister Lotus!"

"Today, let Lin Kuang see the prowess of our Miaoyu Sect!"

Below, Lotus felt a bit panicked upon hearing this and whispered via sound transmission, "Don't, don't talk us up so much! Yu Xiaotang."

"Um, Lin Kuang, we mainly focus on Alchemy. Don't be so aggressive; we can just stop when we've had enough!"

"So we'll just exchange a few moves!"

Lin Kuang nodded. "We'll stop when appropriate."

"Then please guide me! Lin Kuang!"

Lotus waved her hand gently, and a green Cauldron appeared before her.

"Spring Breeze Fragrance—Rising Cauldron!"

Lotus summoned her own Pill Furnace. Pill Furnaces generally have very high defense and can perform area-of-effect attacks, making them a Sharp Weapon in the hands of an Alchemist.

Lin Kuang didn't waste any words and directly summoned the thunderclap sword.

Yu Xiaotang's scalp tingled the moment she saw Lin Kuang's thunderclap sword. It seemed his thunderclap sword had been undefeated until now, and Alchemists were inherently unsuited for combat.

Did he challenge the Wind Demon Sect against his elemental affinity just to resolve things with us in one move now?

What a vicious strategy! To shatter my illusions all at once so that I can't hold my head up for the rest of the journey?

Dammit! Lin Kuang is truly calculating!

I wonder if Sister Lotus can block it!

Mei Hua was the eldest sister, but her combat power was not the strongest; Alchemy was her forte.

"Pill Fragrance!" Lotus threw a handful of medicinal ingredients into the Pill Furnace.

Lotus formed hand seals and chanted an incantation, and a surge of green medicinal fragrance spread out like a water ripple.

It was also Lin Kuang's first time seeing such an attack—using the backlash of Alchemy as a means of offense! It was completely different from the Alchemists in other novels.

"Fengxiao Sword!"

A golden flash was seen as it quickly broke through the medicinal fragrance and rapidly approached the Pill Furnace.

"So fast!" Lotus was already flustered when she saw Lin Kuang take out the thunderclap sword, and seeing the speed of his Fengxiao Sword now, she became even more panicked!

"Condense!" Lotus's lips moved slightly, and a Golden Crow Pill flew from the Pill Furnace into her mouth.

"Cauldron Essence Blast!"

The Cauldron Essence Blast was an attack that erupted all the spiritual energy from the remaining medicinal dregs inside the Pill Furnace.

"Just what I wanted!" Lin Kuang saw Lotus preparing to launch her strongest strike; he had also wanted to settle the battle just now.

"Wind-Thunder Sword Technique!"

Lin Kuang also showed some mercy, not using the Five Thunder Vibration Drum, but only using the Sword Qi attack where the two swords complemented each other.

The intensity of the Sword Qi only slightly knocked back the Pill Furnace, causing Lotus to retreat several steps and feel her arms trembling slightly.

"I lose!" Lotus also knew that Lin Kuang hadn't used his full strength and gracefully conceded directly.

"Ah? How is that possible? You were only pushed back and haven't lost your ability to fight; you should still be able to hold on." Yu Xiaotang felt it was a pity that her sister conceded so directly.

Lotus glanced at Yu Xiaotang. "He is a Sword Cultivator, the Cultivator with the strongest offensive power. How could I win?"

"I don't want my Pill Furnace to be smashed into pieces."

"Oh, Tangtang, Sister Lotus has already done quite well. It's not like you have the ability to defeat Lin Kuang." The always biased Chunhua also agreed with Lotus's words.

"Exactly, Tangtang, don't you know that Sword Cultivators counter Pill Cultivators and Body Cultivators? Have you not learned that after being out for so long?"

"Sigh, we Pill Cultivators are inherently unsuited for combat. Being able to fight like this is already very good!" Chunhua waved her hand helplessly.

"But our Miaoyu Sect can't just give up like this!" Before her voice had even faded, Yu Xiaotang directly summoned her Pill Furnace in front of Lin Kuang.

"Lin Kuang! You have already defeated my sister, and the record on your Jade Slip can now include the Miaoyu Sect."

"However, I want to compete with you one more time! Firstly for the Sect, and secondly for myself. We haven't sparred in so long, I want to know how big the gap is!"

Before meeting Lin Kuang, Yu Xiaotang was already a Grade Two Alchemist and also had some research into swordsmanship. Except for not fighting in the Poro Forest due to her fear of bugs, she had been fighting at all other times.

Yu Xiaotang's efforts were no less than Lin Kuang's.

Lin Kuang was still thinking about how to provoke Yu Xiaotang into fighting him, but now she had jumped out herself. After all, who wouldn't step up when they see their Sect being defeated in an instant?

Things were moving in the right direction, so Lin Kuang didn't hesitate and directly accepted Yu Xiaotang's challenge. "Sure! I really want to challenge you!"

"thunderclap sword, come back!" Lin Kuang prepared to retract the thunderclap sword.

"Hmm? Why are you retracting the thunderclap sword? This is a spar, don't go easy on me!"

"Let me tell you! Don't treat me like an ordinary Pill Cultivator; I am also a Sword Cultivator! You can defeat the new Elder of the Wind Demon Sect, and I can defeat you too!" Yu Xiaotang was also stubborn. Seeing Lin Kuang defeat enemies despite elemental disadvantages, she thought she could do it too.

"I'm not going easy on you. I just used the thunderclap sword in battle yesterday, and yesterday's fight required a lot of physical strength. I'm already a bit too fatigued to control two Flying Swords!"

"Controlling only one allows me to perform better! So I'm not going easy; I'm preparing to go all out!" Lin Kuang went to great lengths just to obtain the reward.

The thunderclap sword was also a great actor; it fell to the ground with a thud and then remained motionless.

"Heh! You went to get stronger secretly at night without telling me! Now you're out of stamina, aren't you!" Yu Xiaotang was easily fooled by Lin Kuang.

"Hahaha! Even without stamina, I am invincible!" Lin Kuang played the role to the end, directly throwing out harsh words.

"Hmph! Today I'll let you know the importance of pre-battle preparation!" Yu Xiaotang controlled the Pill Furnace with one hand and a longsword with the other.

After confirming that Lin Kuang was going all out, Yu Xiaotang was not to be outdone.

"Can Xiao Tang win?" The eldest sister Mei Hua was worried about Xiao Tang's combat strength; after all, she had never fought at home and spent every day refining pills.

"I don't think she can win! That Lin Kuang's control over the sword has reached the pinnacle, and when he fought me, he clearly held back!" Lotus also lacked confidence in Yu Xiaotang.

"Although Lin Kuang is strong, he probably won't be cruel to the girl he likes. Yu Xiaotang can use this psychology to turn defeat into victory." Only Chunhua analyzed a way for Yu Xiaotang to break the situation.
