The Way of The Dao

"King Rank?!"

Zhang Xie's body trembled as disbelief passed through her eyes and she screamed:

"Huh?!"

Zhang Li thought she heard wrong and said, "S-sister... what did you just say?"

Even Zhang Xinya was confused when her aunt said that.

Zhang Xie took a while before responding with a trembling voice: "The young miss is a King rank now..."

"What?!"

Zhang Xinya and Zhang Li shouted in surprise when Zhang Xie said the latter.

Zhang Xie said to Zhang Xinya in a somewhat serious voice, "Young Miss, throw me a punch with all your strength," and she stood in a defensive posture, placing the palm of her hand in front of her, intending to receive Zhang Xinya's fist.

Zhang Xinya, without coming out of her state of confusion, knocked unconsciously towards Zhang Xie's open palm with almost all her strength.

Bamp!

"King Rank!" Zhang Xie exclaimed once more.

Zhang Xie spoke again in her still trembling voice: "I-I'm sure ... I just checked her body and along with the blow I received, the young miss's martial arts power is: King rank! ... most likely a 3-star King rank!"

In the Star City, because people practice strange techniques to absorb the energy of the Heavens and the Earth into their bodies and increase their powers, there are two ways to check one's power range.

One would be to check the pulse of people, and along with a technique of perception, they would get an insight into the power contained in that person.

The second way would be by fighting. When martial artists fight, they unconsciously expel the power from their bodies, and they are able to feel and perceive the range of power they have as well.

Of course, this is very different from the spiritual sense of cultivation.

Zhang Xinya was dazed at first when suddenly a sweet loving smile formed on her delicate lips while she remembered that figure in her mind: 'You seem to have really helped me too much... you even made my martial arts power increase several ranks... besides being very strong, you are also very mysterious... who are you really?'

That was the profit she made by letting Ling Tian help her heal her body. He gave her more strength.

Zhang Xinya immersed herself in her thoughts as she remembered the face and figure of her savior.

Zhang Li looked at the young miss with open eyes... What really happened? Wasn't she escaping from the demon beast of King rank by being weaker? How is it that her power is now comparable to that of a King rank?

The three women were shocked for a long time before anyone could speak: "F-first, we have to go back to the others! And then, we will return to our home. We'll have to report what happened."

The three women came out of their shock when they started running back to the place where the other members of the Zhang family were.

Tens of kilometres away, Ling Tian had locked up the group of hooded men with his aura.

"W-who are you?!"

One of the men shouted shakily when they saw Ling Tian in front of them.

They were terrified, too scared.

They had witnessed how this mysterious person easily wiped out the entire horde of demonic beasts on his own.

His martial arts power... could he be in the Emperor rank? ... no, this was stronger than that rank... could he be... Legend rank?

Everyone got scared when this thought crossed their minds. They now wanted to run for their lives, but couldn't move a single muscle.

Ling Tian looked at these people coldly. He had always hated those people who did horrible things to hurt or kill others.

Even when he was in the Immortal World, he saw this sort of thing a lot every day as well.

Ling Tian looked at them coldly when he said, "What family do you come from? Where did you get that formation to control the demon beasts?"

He had many hypotheses and related this situation to one of those great families of the city. Rumors of such a family had made him suspicious of them with this incident. It seems that something big is about to happen inside the star city...

When the hooded men heard this, they trembled all over their bodies.

How did that person know that they were controlling the demon beasts that attacked the Zhang family group?

Ling Tian had noticed something strange that time when he killed the panther-shaped demon beast that was about to kill that young woman. A faint, almost undetectable demonic energy left its body and went in one direction.

Later, when he killed the entire horde, he confirmed that these men were controlling these demonic beasts. Their inner energies of the demon beasts came out and went into the formation these guys were using.

Ling Tian saw that none of them wanted to respond.

He raised his hand and sent his sword flying, cutting the body of one of the men into several pieces. He became a mincemeat.

Still, they had no intention of responding. Though they were too afraid and terrified, they did not dare speak.

Sigh

He knew these kind of people wouldn't talk, even if they were tortured for a long time. These types of people were trained not to give out any information to the enemy. Besides, he didn't want to waste too much time with these guys.

"Haih".

Ling Tian raised his hand and threw a fireball at them, consuming them completely and leaving only ashes in the place. Most likely the ashes would scatter in the wind and nothing would be left.

No one would know that, in this place, a group of men in the Great Heaven and King rank, died as easily as snapping the fingers.

Ling Tian didn't even flinch when he eliminated that group of people. They were just ants waiting to be crushed with his foot.

Their indifference and coldness, formed for a long time in the immortal world, could not be eliminated as if nothing had happened. Even he knew that he was also somewhat hypocritical when it came to killing.

Although he tried to avoid unnecessary fights, he still committed murders and rivers of blood and corpses in his path, even more so when someone wanted to hurt him or his loved ones. He would not hesitate to kill. He would even eliminate the roots to avoid future problems.

"Huh?"

Just as he was about to leave, Ling Tian noticed some strange herbs.

He came over and laughed.

"It seems my luck is really good."

Ling Tian had found the medicinal herbs that Tang Jingtian required, so he could not help but laugh.

He took them carefully. Putting them in a jade bottle and then kept it in his space ring.

"It seems I still have some time left..."

Ling Tian calculated the time that had elapsed, so he knew he still had some time left.

Therefore, he would continue to research this continent, looking for a way to return to the immortal world.

He stepped on his sword again and flew up to the sky.
