BTTH: I have a key to travel to Wu Dong Qian Kun.

Chapter 199: Ling Qingzhu

Up in the sky, Lei Qian was also staring in shock at what had just happened.

However, before he could think too much, he felt a sharp pain between his eyebrows, and his whole body tensed up.

In Lei Qian's narrowing eyes, the gray beam of light came at him with incredible speed.

"It's too fast, I can't dodge it!"

Lei Qian gritted his teeth, and brilliant lightning surged from his body, instantly forming hundreds of layers of lightning shields in front of him.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

Lei Qian's defenses were like paper, with each layer being penetrated by the gray beam. It wouldn't take long before it reached his body.

Facing a life-and-death crisis, Lei Qian shouted, "Big brother, save me!"

"Boom!"

The void twisted, and a black iron sword flew out, carrying a sky full of sharp sword energy, colliding with the gray beam.

The gray beam extinguished the river of sword energy and landed on the black iron sword, quietly disappearing. However, the black iron sword also dimmed slightly, showing that it was a formidable spirit treasure.

Of course, this also had to do with Xiao Tian not using his full strength. He planned to wipe out the Yuan Gate disciples during the sect competition, then kill some elders, and finally lure out the remaining two Yuan Gate leaders to kill them. If he revealed his full strength now, it would ruin his plan.

Xiao Tian said calmly, "Yuan Gate's Little Three Kings are just so-so."

"I didn't expect Dao Sect to produce such a talented individual."

At this moment, a man in blue, who didn't look particularly remarkable, appeared in the sky. As soon as he appeared, the black iron sword landed behind him.

He smiled at Xiao Tian and said, "My name is Yuan Cang. In this sect competition, Dao Sect had better take care."

With that, he told Lei Qian, "Let's go!"

A group of Yuan Gate disciples left in a grand manner.

Xiao Tian didn't stop them. He came to the Demonic Beast Domain not only to participate in the sect competition but also to seek treasures, as there were plenty here.

"Senior Brother Xiao Tian is mighty!"

Seeing the Yuan Gate people leave in disgrace, the Dao Sect disciples felt a sense of pride. Today, Yuan Gate's Little Thunder King Lei Qian and one of the Eight Great Generals had been thoroughly beaten by Xiao Tian.

In the distance, in the pavilion, the handsome man was shocked. "I didn't expect Xiao Tian to be so strong. He defeated Lei Qian, who had half a foot in the Heaven Stage. Xiao Tian must have reached the Heaven Stage!"

The cold and aloof Ling Qingzhu, with her beautiful face, smiled. No matter what, Xiao Tian was her man. The stronger he was, the happier she felt.

As Ling Qingzhu watched Xiao Tian, he suddenly felt something and looked toward the distant pavilion. He saw the cold and aloof figure dressed in white.

Sensing Xiao Tian's gaze, everyone around followed his line of sight. When they saw Ling Qingzhu, their expressions changed slightly.

"It's Ling Qingzhu from Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace. She is indeed leading this year's sect competition..."

Seeing that figure, even Wang Yan's stoic demeanor wavered slightly.

"This woman is truly extraordinary. She has captivated countless geniuses from the major sects in the Eastern Xuan Region, yet no one has ever seen her fall for anyone..."

Wang Yan clicked his tongue, feeling the atmosphere around him shift. Looking up, he saw the white-clad figure suddenly move, flying towards Xiao Tian under countless astonished gazes.

Xiao Tian also flew up and, to everyone's disbelief, embraced her.

"What... what..."

Wang Yan was stunned.

Because the figure didn't resist being embraced by Xiao Tian. Instead, she extended her slender hand and hugged him back.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

At that moment, countless hearts shattered. Ling Qingzhu was the most dazzling gem of the Eastern Xuan Region. Countless geniuses from various sects had fought for her favor, but no one had ever succeeded. Yet here was Xiao Tian, openly embracing her.

"Qingzhu, you're truly captivating," Xiao Tian whispered in her ear, smiling. "Everyone around us must hate me now. If looks could kill, I'd be dead many times over."

Ling Qingzhu's stunning face turned a delicate shade of red beneath her veil. Her slender hand moved to Xiao Tian's waist and pinched him hard.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

Xiao Tian exaggeratedly grimaced in pain. In truth, with his body strength, this pain was nothing more than an ant bite.

"Hmph!"

Ling Qingzhu snorted softly but released his waist.

"Until the mountains are barren, the heavens and the earth unite, I dare not part from you!" Xiao Tian gazed at her with deep affection and said, "Qingzhu, after this sect competition, I'll come to Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace to propose!"

"Do you want to be targeted by everyone?" Ling Qingzhu asked with a hint of panic.

"I'd face the world for you," Xiao Tian replied earnestly.

With his current strength, as long as the heads of the major sects didn't intervene, no one could defeat him. He didn't take those who hadn't reached the Heaven Stage seriously.

"After today, my master will surely know about us. You should think about how to handle that," Ling Qingzhu gently pushed Xiao Tian away and, with a tap of her foot, turned into a rainbow and disappeared into the sky.

As Ling Qingzhu left, all eyes turned to Xiao Tian. If not for his formidable strength, they would have swarmed him to beat up the man who stole their goddess.

"No way, Xiao Tian knows Ling Qingzhu?" Wang Yan was genuinely shocked.

"They've known each other for a while," Ying Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, then looked worriedly at her sister. Since Ling Qingzhu appeared, her sister had become silent.

"Sister, are you okay?" Ying Xiaoxiao asked with concern. Many girls would feel defeated when compared to someone as outstanding as Ling Qingzhu.

Ying Huanhuan shook her head, then smiled, her big eyes looking in the direction where Ling Qingzhu had disappeared. "I'll surpass her," she said seriously.

Ying Xiaoxiao was stunned, then saw a strange ice-blue light in her sister's eyes. At that moment, she felt as if her sister would one day become even more dazzling than Ling Qingzhu.

"I believe in you," Ying Xiaoxiao said, happy that her sister wasn't disheartened by Ling Qingzhu's appearance.

Ying Huanhuan smiled sweetly, and the ice-blue color in her eyes faded away. She didn't realize that deep within her pupils, black was slowly merging with ice-blue. All of this was because of Xiao Tian.
