Binding to Geniuses To Become Stronger Chapter 122 - The Tang Code's Arrow

Chapter 122: The Tang Code’s Arrow

In the Youzhou Demon Portal, dark clouds were looming over the sky above it.

Beyond the dark clouds were dragon-like thunderbolts that were rolling in between the clouds and finally gathering around the Code.

The Code was like a talisman with the world’s most intricate pattern drawn by lightning and thunder.

However, it was not as terrifying as drinking the royal blood that was freshly extracted from Li Tianlin’s body.

Instead, it seemed rather bright and refres.h.i.+ng.

The crack that Fang Lang left on the Code was filled with the blade tip of the Blooming Lotus Sword. The blade tip was like a s.h.i.+ning, brilliant star in the night sky.

Xuanyuan Taihua was hovering in the air, so was the Code.

She was not as ferocious as before, her body now was enveloped in a ball of mysterious mist.

She stared at the Code for a long time before letting out a murky breath.

The Code was shaking slightly and let out a unique wave as if it was sighing.

It was no longer vicious and ruthless. Another soul was awakening in the Code.

Xuanyuan Taihua stood up from her cross-legged position and bowed gently to the Code.

Then, she touched between her brows with her fair fingers and a gorgeous lotus pattern bloomed on her skin instantly.

Suddenly, a strong surge of spiritual sense shot out from her, or rather it should be considered as divine sense.

The divine sense drilled into the whirlpool of thunderbolts with the Code as its core.

Ten thousand miles below the dark clouds, the rain was pouring heavily onto the earth. The splattering raindrops cause the muddy puddles to ripple.

The chilly droplets dripped on Fang Lang’s face.

Fang Lang’s crazy smile slowly faltered. Under the public’s gaze, he felt an enormous force attracting his spiritual sense.

What was happening?

Fang Lang was stunned.

Ni Wen, Jiang Linglong and Liu Bubai watched Fang Lang worriedly.

“He fainted! Lang’zi fainted!” Liu Bubai shouted in panic.

Even the faint-hearted Ni Wen kept shaking Fang Lang’s body.

Fang Lang stared blankly at everyone.

Then, his eyes shuttered slowly. His soul was drawn by a mysterious force.

…

A blood-red world with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

When Fang Lang regained consciousness and opened his eyes, he found that he was in a world covered in the color of blood.

Suppressing, suffocating, terrifying, bone-chilling…

Fang Lang was suffocated by the overwhelming senses.

‘Where… am I?’ Fang Lang was stunned.

He thought he managed to endure the pressure from Li Tianlin’s blood?

He even sliced his blood-transformed figure in half and left a small crack on the Code as his sword landed on it.

‘Shouldn’t everything be over by now?’

‘Did my master lose the battle of will against the Code?’

Fang Lang took a deep breath. He was not feeling too well under the indescribably crus.h.i.+ng force.

“Hmm?” Suddenly, a melodious voice echoed through the air.

Then, Fang Lang felt that he was surrounded by warm white light, s.h.i.+elding him from the torturous sensation from the blood-colored world.

Fang Lang felt relieved and gasped for air.

A white figure flew over with blurry facial features.

However, judging by the familiar scent, Fang Lang was sure that this person was the female blade lord that was sitting in between the two worlds.

“It’s an honor to meet you, master. I’m Fang Lang.” Fang Lang immediately put his hands together and bowed.

“How did your spiritual sense get in here? Uhm… I see what’s happening.” Xuanyuan Taihua was basking in a mysterious radiance, her face remained obscured. She watched Fang Lang and had a moment of thought before she nodded slightly.

Then, she extended her snowy palm.

She put her middle finger and index finger together and formed a finger blade. Then, she gently tapped in between Fang Lang’s eyebrows. The moment her fingers touched his skin, he felt a chill spreading throughout his entire body.

A blooming lotus pattern appeared on his forehead.

“It’s surprising that you managed to infuse your own spiritual sense in the Blooming Lotus Sword in such a short period of time. When you left the blade tip in the Code, you were sucked into this realm. However, you need to have proper protection, otherwise, you’ll be influenced by it.” Xuanyuan Taihua’s voice was gentle yet her tone was filled with the heroic spirit of a female blade lord.

“Thank you, master!”

Fang Lang bowed politely once more.

“Okay, okay… you don’t have to remind me again. I promise to take you as my disciple, I always keep my word,” the female blade lord said. She seemed to be slightly annoyed by Fang Lang’s nagging.

Fang Lang smiled brightly. He had just killed the first prince, Li Tianlin. He was in dire need of support!

“What is this place, master?”

Fang Lang finally had the time to observe their surroundings.

“Disciple Lang, don’t you worry. Just stay put,” Xuanyuan Taihua said.

Then, she waved her hand.

Fang Lang felt that his figure was pushed away and flew away like a dandelion.

Opposite of Xuanyuan Taihua, countless blood energies swarmed together and transformed into a pair of eyes…

What kind of eyes they were!

With just one look, a chill ran down Fang Lang’s spine. However, its presence made Fang Lang think that he might be inside the Core!

Fang Lang took a deep breath!

He could not go any nearer and listen to the conversation between the gorgeous female blade lord and the eyes.

He could only see them from afar.

Something was floating in the Code for fifteen years.

Fang Lang breathed in deeply, ‘The Code… has a consciousness?’

‘Is the Tang Code a living or non-living thing?’

…

Xuanyuan Taihua stared at the eyes in silence.

“The Blooming Lotus Sword hitting the Code was purely by chance. Your consciousness won’t last for too long,” the female blade lord said.

Shortly after, a voice sounded beside her ear, “Only Blooming Lotus? What about Withering Lotus, Circling Lotus, and Reincarnating Lotus? They’re still nowhere to be found?”

The echoing voice was low and deep as if it was trying to suppress something.

“No,” she answered.

“Have you returned to the Tang Dynasty?”

“No.”

“You can’t go back, not before the Withering Lotus, Circling Lotus, and Reincarnating Lotus resurfaces… I am sorry.”

There was a loud sigh.

The female blade lord laughed, “It’s nothing.”

“I will not be conscious for long. When can we retrieve the remaining three swords?” The deep voice asked.

“I don’t know, but it’ll be soon,” she chuckled and said. She then thought of Fang Lang.

Just after saying this, the Code started shaking violently.

“Changan’s in trouble. I need to go and resolve it,” the female blade lord said calmly.

The voice in the Code sounded again, “Is that the guy who cracked the code? Such bravery. It’s been quite a while since I met a youngster with such valor.”

The female blade lord was stunned because she did not expect Fang Lang’s name to be mentioned, but she smiled and said, “Rare indeed.”

“Zhao Longs.h.i.+ from the Main Path Guild won’t miss the chance to investigate the matters in Changan. Li Tianlin was also hypnotized by him.” The voice in the Code sounded again.

The female blade lord nodded, “The Main Path Guild is good at hypnotism.”

“Since he’s such a valiant kid, can I borrow him for a while?” the voice asked.

She waved her hand and said, “It’s his fate and honor.”

…

Fang Lang had no clue that he was sold to someone else.

He was still immersed in the excitement of gaining a master. Finally, someone would take over in the Tang Dynasty and he could finally settle down and focus on cultivation.

With the System, he could bind to all the geniuses in the world gradually. With more binding partners, his core could gradually upgrade to the highest level!

By then, he would become the strongest cultivator in the world!

Master and the pair of eyes seemed to have ended their conversation.

She raised her snowy hand and waved at Fang Lang.

The ball of light surrounding Fang Lang flew over to her like a dandelion.

“Soak in the moment, feel the difference between getting shot and firing the shot,” she said.

Fang Lang raised his eyebrow, how ungracious of her!

‘What kind of words are those! He has to keep his morals as a disciple.’

“Yes, I’m ready,” Fang Lang answered seriously.

Right after his answer, Xuanyuan Taihua pointed between his brows with her fingers again.

Boom!

Fang Lang felt the scene in front of him change.

…

The rain was pouring like torrents in the Youzhou Demon Portal!

Jiang Linglong and the others were gathered around Fang Lang with worried faces.

Pei Liao was puzzled.

“It shouldn’t be. Fang Lang was just exhausted and lacking in willpower. He would just suffer from fatigue at most, he shouldn’t faint,” Pei Liao said.

Wen Ting placed his hands on his back, “Did he fall asleep from overexertion? Pei Liao, it’s just been a few years since we met, but I can see that you’re regressing.”

“He’s not asleep. He fainted. His soul was drawn to another place. Please don’t doubt my medical skills. I am a professional killer and healer,” Pei Liao said seriously.

Suddenly, Fang Lang’s eyes shot wide open.

When Pei Liao and Wen Ting met his eyes, they felt a chill run down their spine.

“This…” Pei Liao was speechless.

However, before he could say anything further, a thunderous sound exploded in the sky above them.

The storm was ripped apart!

Pei Liao, Wen Ting, Liu Bubai and the others struggled to raise their heads. They felt an immense pressure weighing down on them. The Code that was surrounded by dazzling thunderbolts floated above their heads.

Boom!

Pei Liao, Wen Ting and the others were crouching on the floor. They could not even gather the strength to move a single finger.

Fang Lang stood up slowly as everyone stared at him in shock. The crackled Blooming Lotus Sword was soaring above them.

The Code shuddered above Fang Lang.

The s.p.a.ce cracked open and Fang Lang was sucked in and disappeared into thin air!

Silence filled the Youzhou Demon Portal, absolute silence.

Only the splatter of rain on the ground could be heard.

Pei Liao, Wen Ting and the others held their breath as they stared at each other in shock.

What… just happened?

…

There was a sea of flames in the sky above the Taiji Palace in Changan.

A blazing dragon dived down from the sky like a flaming sword that chased away the chilliness of Changan’s winter.

Nan Yehuo climbed up the sky above the Taiji Palace. He could feel the rising energy in his body, almost pus.h.i.+ng him to break off the shackles and achieve transcendence!

However, Nan Yehuo knew that it was just an illusion. It would be impossible for him to reach transcendence with his foundation.

The sudden burst of strength was due to the Great Elixir Pill from the Main Guild Path.

He was satisfied to be able to experience such a state even though it was just a fleeting moment under the influence of the pill.

He was filled with despair as he could only watch new cultivators surpa.s.s him as he had already reached his limits and was unable to advance any further.

Therefore, he had to give it one last shot. This was a secret plan that he had been plotting for a long time.

Many years ago, he was still hesitant when the sect leader of Main Path Guild, Zhao Longs.h.i.+ came to him with this plan.

The plan was too risky as the Emperor was practically untouchable.

He did not have the courage to pull it off.

This was because if there were any miscalculations, he would put the entire sect in danger.

The Donglu’s Sword League would be completely destroyed because of his decision.

However, if he succeeded, it would be the turning point for Donglu’s Sword League.

This opportunity was not that important to the Main Path Guild, but Donglu’s Sword League needed it.

He needed it.

Nan Yehuo finally made up his mind when Lin Yun and Lin Muzhe died.

This was the only chance for Donglu’s Sword League to rise up!

Nan Yehuo grabbed the flaming sword, melting the snow in the sky as he hovered in the sky above the Taiji Palace with a sea of flames behind him.

Everyone’s gaze was focused on him.

The Emperor had been hiding behind the shadows for too long. The people’s temptation to pry grew over the years.

They wanted to see his true appearance!

So did Nan Yehuo!

He would be the first to witness the Emperor’s true colors after he ripped off his veil!

He might change the course of the Tang Dynasty’s history.

Chao Xiaojian was flying down from the sky with a dark expression.

Nan Yehuo who swallowed the Great Elixir Pill had almost achieved transcendence!

He was unable to stop him!

In the White Jade Square, Lu Taixuan was planning to stop him but it was too late. He could only frown and watch the events unfold before him.

Boom!

The lapis lazuli roof tiles exploded above the Taiji Palace as they were engulfed by the flaming blade energy, which melted them into lava.

Nan Yehuo tore open the Taiji Palace’s roof.

The four golden armor guards entered the main court of Taiji Palace.

Old Man Gao was bellowing outside the main court, ma.s.sive energy exuded from his body.

However, it was still too late.

They watched as Nan Yehuo charged at the great figure on the throne with the flaming sword in hand like a blazing dragon!

The Emperor remained hidden behind the thick layer of mist!

Nan Yehuo’s unibrow was burning. He felt that this attack was the pinnacle of his cultivation in sword mastery.

This was the moment that he dreamt for in his entire life!

This move would even put Xuanyuan Taihua to shame!

“Your majesty! Time to face the world!” Nan Yehuo said.

The blazing sword darted out, aiming at the great figure!

At that moment, the s.p.a.ce above the Taiji Palace started modulating.

The Code appeared mid-air and underneath it was a figure in a blood-red robe. The figure was floating in the air, holding a blood-red bow and arrow.

The crowd looked up in astonishment upon the appearance of Code.

Fang Lang!

Why did Fang Lang appear together with the Code?

The moment the Code returned, a mysterious wave of energy rippled through the sky.

Inside the Taiji Palace, the great figure on the throne extended his hand slowly.

Boom!

Sparks flew everywhere, an explosion erupted from the throne.

Nan Yehuo was coughing blood, his eyes narrowed as he saw his flaming sword get crushed by the hand!

In the sky above the Taiji Palace, everybody watched as Fang Lang released the bow and shot out a blood arrow that represented the Code’s order to kill.

The arrow impaled Nan Yehuo onto the Taiji Palace.

His blood-red robe fluttered in the air. The “ruthless” Fang Lang continued…

He drew the bow and shot the arrow.

He drew the bow again and shot another arrow.

He shot arrow after arrow at Nan Yehuo in the Taiji Palace who stared in disbelief.
