Chapter 140: Jumped into the reservoir
This elder wanted to kill Long Yu to avenge the death of Hua Fu, the son of the sovereign of Tibetan Fire Temple, so that he could go back and receive rewards.
However, he never imagined that Long Yu, who was at the 2nd layer of Zhenling realm, would kill him so easily!
"Go!"
Long Yu picked up his nine hidden dragon spear without any hesitation, flapped his lunar wings and continued his journey towards the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir.
After the delay caused by the interruption of this elder, Yu Qianning managed to get close to Long Yu.
However, Long Yu was still beyond the reach of her Imperial domain.
"This boy!"
Yu Qianning clenched her teeth and a cold look flashed in her eyes.
She thought that the interruption caused by a powerful expert would slow Long Yu down and she would be able to catch him then seize the Heavenly lunar tablet from him.
However, she could not imagine that Long Yu would be able to kill an elder of Zhenling 3rd layer and that too in such a short time.
For Yu Qianning, it was no less getting struck by a thunderbolt dropping from clear sky!
All along, she thought of her talent to be extraordinary, but now when compared to Long Yu, she felt inferior.
Long Yu was able to surpass the barrier of one layer and killed his opponent instantly!
She would never be able to do such a thing!
"Die!"
With this thought, Yu Qianning covered her body with a murderous aura and her yellow robed body passed through the sea of fire unharmed, chasing Long Yu.
In the moonlit night under the snow capped mountains, both of them were running as fast as two meteors playing the game of tag.
Long Yu, after dodging numerous Mongolian patrol troops, finally arrived at the central region of the mountains. He could see that not far away there was a long and dense row of tents.
The Prince of the Mongolian kingdom along with his army had stationed his encampment over there.
And on the other side of the camp was an electro-optical masterpiece - the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir!
Since Yu Qianning was chasing him fiercely, Long Yu didn't dare to stop there.
To the utter disbelief of Yu Qianning, Long Yu went straight towards the camp and stirred a commotion which prompted numerous soldiers to step out of their tents!
A warning horn sounded loudly and alarmed all about an intruder.
Immediately, numerous Mongolian soldiers emerged from the tents, encircled Long Yu and started moving towards him with killing intention. This scene was spectacular.
"Heavenly Thunder Reservoir! No doubt, whoever enters it will die immediately. But the nine hidden dragon mark is instigating me to enter it. Such being the case, I will enter the reservoir regardless of the consequences that may follow."
Long Yu's eyes shone with the colors of firm resolution. Even the mightiest of the forces could not stop Long Yu now!
However, Yu Qianning stopped her chase and was now hiding not far away.
If she got trapped in the encirclement of Mongolian troops, she would be doomed to die!
Was Long Yu out of his mind? Why would he dare to go straight into the enemy camp?
Right from the start, Yu Qianning used to think that Long Yu had colluded with the Mongolian kingdom, but now she was quick to notice that the Mongolian soldiers were approaching him, showing no leniency.
"Interesting!"
Mo Fengming, who was standing atop a mountain peak nearby, pondered as he looked at this scene: "This Long Yu entered the Mongolian encampment right in front of the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir - something which even I, Mo Fengming, cannot dare to do. I would like to see what he intends to do next."
At this moment, anyone - be it Mo Fengming or Yu Qianning or the Mongolian troops - had not even imagined that Long Yu's goal was to actually enter the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir!
"Forward!"
Long Yu's footsteps did not dare to stop because if stopped even for a moment, he would be completely surrounded by the Mongolian troops.
Even if he was able to kill many people, he would finally be exhausted and captured.
Moreover, killing so many people here held no significance.
He swept his spear and a burst of air emerged which took him 100 feet into the sky toward a nearby mountain peak.
That mountain peak was a desolated peak and beyond it was the dangerous Heavenly Thunder Reservoir. If he slipped from the peak he would end up falling into the reservoir and die immediately!
Seeing his goal to be that desolate mountain peak, everyone was confused.
"Is this guy out of his mind?"
First he rushed through the Mongolian lands, then he rushed towards the desolate peak and now he was ready to jump into the deadly reservoir!
This boy was courting death!
Just then, from the largest central tent of the Mongolian camp, a 20 year-old boy stepped out, holding his head high.
The young man was wearing a shining armor and his stature was grandiose. His head was adorned with a purple crown on which two pheasant feathers were attached - he looked just like General Lu Bu from the three kingdom era.
"Young Prince, why are your orders?"
One of the senior generals bowed down to him and politely asked.
"Chase him. I want to see him run for his life."
The young man with the purple crown was the Mongolian prince. His eyes showed that he was interested in observing Long Yu's escape.
The Mongolian prince had certainly heard about Long Yu previously, and now he stood there, watching Long Yu run off to the desolate peak, courting his own death. Of course, he would not personally come into action and pursue Long Yu.
Such a boy didn't deserve a Mongolian prince's attention!
While Long Yu rushed towards the desolate peak, he noticed the purple crowned Mongolian prince watching him and was quite surprised to see that the opposite party had not launched any fatal attack against him.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Mongolian prince, the gap between the two sides was too big as he watched Long Yu with disdainful eyes.
Long Yu in a mad stimulation of movement rushed towards the peak as more and more soldiers approached him from behind. He did not dare to stop and kept on moving forward.
His speed surpassed that of the Mongolian soldiers by a large margin!
From the others' point of view, Long Yu's move of heading towards the desolate peak was simply a dead end which might even lead him to his death.
But only Long Yu knew that heading towards the peak might give him a slim chance of survival!
Long Yu released Xuan qi and rushed as fast as he could and was soon at a cliff on the desolate peak. This place was just 120 feet away from the Heavenly Thunder reservoir.
And behind him, thousands of troops continued to encircle him so that he had no chance of breaking the encirclement and running anywhere.
Unfortunately for them, they had never imagined that Long Yu had no plans of breaking the encirclement.
"Forward! Go!"
Long Yu stepped forward and his grey lunar wings flapped fiercely. His figure turned into a black streamer as he jumped directly into the Heavenly Thunder reservoir!
"This is insane!"
Yu Qianning was shocked to see Long Yu rush towards the reservoir.
Now, even if Long Yu died inside the reservoir, she would not be able to seize his lunar tablet. This was worse!
"What?"
Mo Fengming as well as the Mongolian prince watched Long Yu enter the reservoir wrinkling their eyebrows.
They all now clearly understood - right from the beginning, Long Yu had planned to jump off the cliff and enter the reservoir. And since this move was premeditated, there must be some hidden significance to it.
However, the Heavenly Thunder reservoir had an indomitable destructive power. Even if a Zhenling realm powerhouse entered it, he would die instantly!
Along with the Mongolian prince and Mo Fengming, the complexions of all the Mongolian generals and soldiers changed as well. Long Yu reached the desolate peak in one single step and then even dared to jump off to enter the Heavenly Thunder reservoir!
Almost immediately, several thunderbolts came out of the thunder mines. They were attracted by the nine hidden dragon mark and dived towards him.
"If I survive this, see you again."
Long Yu clenched his teeth, and without stopping even for a moment, he activated his nine hidden dragon mark and covered his whole body with the nine hidden dragon qi.
"Bang!"
The thunderbolts with terrifying destructive power fell on the top of Long Yu's head instantly!
However, the impact of his collision was immediately absorbed by the nine hidden dragon qi enveloping Long Yu's body and hence Long Yu emerged out unharmed.
"That was a right bet!"
Long Yu happily chuckled, immediately moving towards the centre of the reservoir at a faster pace than ever.
The area surrounding the centre of the heavenly thunder reservoir was full of such thunder mines and Long Yu did not want to get injured by any of them.
As the Lunar wings resonated with Long Yu, he flashed past numerous thunder mines and soon disappeared into thin air.
"Even the thunder mines couldn't kill him!"
Outside the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir, the Mongolian prince, Yu Qianning, Mo Fengming and several other people watched with great shock.
But soon after, they shook their heads in disappointment.
The power of the reservoir was so destructive that no Zhenling realm master would be able to survive once he entered it.
Even if Long Yu appeared to be alright after being struck by the thunder mines numerous times, he must be severely injured.
He was courting death!
"Such a suicidal fool!"
Almost everyone present there thought so and smiled with contempt.
For them, Long Yu was certainly going to die inside the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir.
Yu Qianning, who was hiding not far from the place where Mo Fengming was standing, continued to hide, waiting for an opportunity.
As for the thousands of Mongolian soldiers, they returned to their camps after attending the alert.
The news of Long Yu breaking into the Heavenly Thunder Reservoir spread like wild fire.
Though the news induced mocking smiles and nothing more!
However it was not known to them that amidst all the roaring thunder of the reservoir, Long Yu had finally stopped running.
A while ago, the nine hidden dragon mark conveyed him some information - this Heavenly Thunder Reservoir thunder mine had great power and this power could be used for refining flesh!
"I can refine my body with the power of thunder."
Long Yu was shocked as he deciphered the information conveyed by the nine hidden dragon mark.
Initially he had thought that by trusting the nine hidden dragon mark he would find a way to escape by entering the heavenly thunder reservoir.
But now the nine hidden dragon mark was instigating him to refine his body by exploiting the power from the thunder mines.
No pain, no gain.
Soon after stepping into the world of Wudao, Long Yu had endured a lot of pain while refining his body using demon tyrant form.
Refining his flesh with the power of the thunder mines would cause him much more pain than he had ever been through, but this immense pain would also strengthen his body beyond imagination!
He would emerge out stronger than ever!
Long Yu's eyes gleamed.
Since the nine hidden dragon mark had provided him with this rare opportunity, Long Yu was eager to take the risk and was willing to give it a try!
