Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter

Chapter 569 - 181: Settling Down, Peerless Battle

White Spirit Water said softly, "Don’t be angry, this time I really will take you to fight Qing Hancheng."

"Liar," Li Yuan said in a muffled voice.

White Spirit Water said, "It’s true, he agreed to fight you."

"Liar," Li Yuan continued.

White Spirit Water suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Brother Dian, I’m not lying to you... But, I suspect Qing Hancheng is about to break through to the Third Grade, this battle is his breakthrough battle.

You might not be able to beat him."

This information was gathered by her as the "Saintess" from high-level sources.

After Qing Hancheng refused Li Yuan, she had looked into the backstory and learned that "the reason Qing Hancheng rebelled was that the Black Lotus Sect helped him break through to the Third Grade," combining everything, she made such an inference and gave Li Yuan this piece of information.

White Spirit Water continued her analysis.

Her analysis was very accurate, almost guessing Qing Hancheng’s intentions.

Then she concluded, "So, Brother Dian, I know you really want to fight strong opponents, but Qing Hancheng isn’t the only strong one in the world.

He’s almost a Third Grade now, and I haven’t heard of another Third Grade out there. If he defeats you, he might kill you to complete his breakthrough.

Don’t go and fight him, let me take you to find other experts."

This time, White Spirit Water intended to take Dian Wei directly back to the South.

But Li Yuan sighed inwardly, "As expected, the White Lotus Demoness knows more; the Red Lotus Sect’s Grand Elder knows nothing."

At this moment, he... had already obtained the information he wanted.

Moreover, all his "eyes" were flying toward Feiyan Platform.

"Feiyan Platform, Qing Hancheng, I want to fight him!!"

A beast-like roar emerged from the bald brute’s mouth.

In reality, he would first check the data when Qing Hancheng arrived, and only appear if the data was suitable.

Seeing the big guy about to rush off again, White Spirit Water became somewhat helpless. She didn’t want him to go and die, so she quickly said, "Brother Dian, let me take you to meet that strong one first. If you’re not satisfied, we can come back for Qing Hancheng, how about it?"

Li Yuan had conversed with the "White Spirit Water in the White Wooden Box" countless times, and with a little thought, he knew what she was plotting.

However, he had no intention of going to the Lotus Sect; he just wanted to fight Qing Hancheng.

This place was relatively safe in the "ally domain."

Besides, with Qing Hancheng there, Gu Xuejian would be in danger.

Gu Xuejian had been kind to Ping’an and Yaojue, and her actions this time were commendable.

So, he was set on fighting Qing Hancheng.

Seeing the Saintess about to speak again, Li Yuan didn’t waste any words and suddenly stepped forward to grab White Spirit Water roughly.

In the act of roughness, his fingers "accidentally" pulled out a few strands of the Saintess’s hair.

The Little Demonesses were startled and prepared to draw their weapons, but White Spirit Water signaled with a raised hand to stop them.

The next moment...

Li Yuan, like a flesh meteor, shot off with a boom, and amidst the trembling mountains, vanished in an instant.

The Little Demonesses looked at each other, each like a headless chicken, not knowing what to do.

...

After pulling out her hair, Li Yuan dropped White Spirit Water in a safe town. Then, seeing a bustling city marketplace, he rushed in, shouting, "Go tell Qing Hancheng, on the first day of the month at noon, it’s a fight at Feiyan Platform!!"

After running through several towns, the information was known by the local disciples of the Divine Wood Hall and passed up layer by layer.

A few days later, the news reached Qing Hancheng’s ears.

With a little image comparison, it was indeed Dian Wei, no doubt.

Qing Hancheng nodded, beginning to feel a bit expectant.

However, he wasn’t eager to defeat Dian Wei but was curious about what his breakthrough to the Third Grade would be like.

Qing Hancheng wasn’t careless and ordered his subordinates to summarize as much of Dian Wei’s past battles and fighting style as possible. However, those battles and styles could not fully encompass Dian Wei’s strength, only that Dian Wei was stronger than Fifth Grade.

Qing Hancheng thought for a moment and decided to go.

He was near the Third Grade.

Though there was no Third Grade in the world, he assumed those strong ones were hiding, as he already felt that kind of Third Grade strength.

A half-step away, only a half-step away...

Therefore, he burned incense and bathed, then sat calmly in the White Bamboo Bell Tower, awaiting the first day arrival.

He wasn’t making a grand preparation for Dian Wei; he was preparing for his step into the Third Grade.

"Don’t let me down... Dian Wei,"

said the man clad in an ink plum pattern robe with a cold smile.

...

...

On the eve of the first day.

Many from the Social World, or from other forces, intended to come to watch the battle.

However, as they arrived, they witnessed an incredible scene.

The path to Feiyan Platform had vanished, not only that... the surrounding mountains of Feiyan Platform were missing their "tops."

The mountains that should have stood tall were all missing their peaks.

And as they approached Feiyan Platform, they saw where the peaks were.

The peaks, each several dozen meters high, stacked like building blocks, formed a wobbly "wall" around Feiyan Platform.

This "wall" was hundreds of meters high; only by flying over or breaking through could one enter.

On top of the "peak wall," a bald brute, like a hairy monkey, was still continuing to stack the peaks higher.

The enormous mountains and the small figure created an unimaginable visual impact.

The onlookers stared in astonishment at the figure, unable to step forward.

"If you’re not Qing Hancheng, don’t come in!" Li Yuan shouted.
