Chapter 213 - Vinegar
The mighty image of the giant ice and snow eagle, which was powerful enough to tear apart mountains, froze instantly like a piece of glass art that was hit precisely in the vitals!
Immediately afterwards, countless cracks spread wildly with the point where the fingertip landed as the center, and the next moment it shattered with a loud bang, turning into the purest ice spirit energy, and scattered and annihilated!
"Puff!" Ling Hao's face instantly turned pale as paper, as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body flying backward uncontrollably. His spiritual energy was in turmoil, and his meridians felt as if pierced by countless icy needles. The pride and fighting spirit in his eyes were replaced by utter shock and disbelief!
"He was solved with just one move, and it was just a finger. Are the people outside so strong? No, no, he is the strong one!" At this time, Ling Hao's expression changed, and his heart was like a huge wave.
The Seventh Elder's face changed drastically, his body swayed, and he hurriedly caught the flying Ling Hao. A stream of pure spiritual power was injected into his body to help him stabilize his injuries. The look he gave Chu Linyuan was full of horror and deep fear!
He could clearly see that the opponent's finger was not only terrifyingly powerful, but even more terrifying was the mastery of his power. It just happened to defeat the Dharma Image and severely injure Ling Hao, but it didn't hurt his core! This level of control was simply appalling!
The cheers of the Sky Eagle Castle disciples were stuck in their throats, and the excitement on their faces froze, turning into fear and confusion.
Tie Niu opened his mouth wide and smiled silently, with an expression that showed that he had known this would happen.
Luo Hongyi curled her lips, put away the poison mist, and muttered, "Boring."
The outer disciples of Guixu Sect straightened their backs, their faces filled with pride, and looked at Chu Linyuan with fanatical admiration.
The Seventh Elder took a deep breath, protected the injured Ling Hao behind him, and solemnly clasped his fists towards Chu Linyuan, with an unprecedentedly respectful tone: "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for showing mercy! We are short-sighted and have offended you. Please forgive us!" He now fully understood that the strength of the cold young man in front of him was far beyond his imagination and was not someone they could afford to provoke.
Chu Linyuan retracted his finger as if nothing had happened, not even the hem of his clothes fluttering. His cold eyes swept across everyone in Sky Eagle Fort, finally landing on the distraught Ling Hao, and he said lightly, "Get lost."
Just one word, yet it carries with it unquestionable majesty.
However, Ling Hao struggled to stand firm and pushed away the supporting hand of the Seventh Elder. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Although his face was pale and his breathing was unstable, his eyes were surprisingly bright. There was no arrogance in them, only a pure, almost crazy admiration and persistence!
"That's right, that's right, this is the crushing of strength, I want to become that strong too!"
He suddenly rushed in front of Chu Linyuan, no longer provocative, but bowed deeply, his voice trembling with excitement and injury:
"Senior! It's me, Ling Hao, who's blind! Arrogant! I've offended you! Senior, your magical powers are unparalleled, and Ling Hao is completely convinced! I bow down to you! Please accept me as your disciple! Or... or let me follow you and be your attendant, serving tea and water! I only hope to be by your side and learn even one ten-thousandth of your skills!"
Seventh Elder: "...Whoever wants to take care of this damned child next time can do so."
Chu Linyuan: "..."
He frowned slightly, clearly having never encountered someone who would cling to him even after being beaten. He didn't bother to pay attention, simply ignoring the other person and starting to walk away.
Ling Hao seemed to have made up his mind. He ignored the surprised and dissuading looks from the other people in Sky Eagle Castle and followed closely behind, talking non-stop:
"Senior! What on earth was that finger you just used? How could it be so powerful?"
Chu Linyuan didn't even raise his eyelids, as if there was only a ball of air in front of him, and continued to walk forward.
"Senior, please give me some pointers..."
"Is there something wrong with this guy's brain? He rushed over even after being crushed?" Luo Hongyi said in shock.
So, when Xie Zhao led his team, which had a fruitful harvest and was in high spirits, to meet Chu Linyuan's team beside a stream flowing with silver gravel, this was the scene they saw -
His Taoist partner, who had been an iceberg for thousands of years and never allowed strangers to approach him, walked in front. Behind him, in addition to the familiar Tie Niu, Luo Hongyi and the disciples of Guixu Sect, there was also a strange young man with colorful clothes, eyes as bright as light bulbs, and a mouth that chattered non-stop, following him closely like a follower.
The bright smile on Xie Zhao's face froze instantly.
The peach blossom eyes narrowed, and a dangerous light flashed in them.
"Brother!" Xie Zhao stepped forward quickly, first looking Chu Linyuan up and down to make sure he hadn't lost a single hair. Then he glanced at Ling Hao beside him, his voice drawn out, a hint of sour sarcasm: "Hey~ It's only been a while since we last met? Brother, where did you pick up such a... enthusiastic puppy? He looks so energetic, wagging his tail the whole time."
When Chu Linyuan saw Xie Zhao, his cold eyes subconsciously softened for a moment, but when he heard the tone, he immediately caught the strong jealousy.
He frowned again, feeling a slight headache. He could be cold and ruthless to outsiders, but when it came to Xie Zhao's unreasonable jealousy, he was always helpless.
His face was expressionless, his tone carrying a subtle hint of helplessness and...grievance: "He came here on his own. It has nothing to do with me."
Ling Hao was completely unaware of the strange atmosphere between the two. Seeing Xie Zhao's extraordinary temperament and his familiarity with Chu Linyuan, he immediately greeted him warmly with a bright smile: "Hello, fellow Daoist! My name is Ling Hao, from the Sky Eagle Fort in the Northern Territory! Are you your junior fellow apprentice? He is truly amazing! I just..."
"Shut up." Chu Linyuan interrupted him coldly. He didn't want to hear any more of his noise, and even less want Xie Zhao to hear any more.
Ling Hao immediately fell silent, but still looked at Chu Linyuan with admiration and desire, and then gave Xie Zhao an expression that said "you know what I mean."
Xie Zhao: "..."
He looked at Ling Hao's "loving" eyes as he looked at Chu Linyuan, and then at Chu Linyuan's helpless defense. Although his senior brother had no expression on his face, Xie Zhao could imagine it, and the little flame in his heart began to burn!
Where did this wild man come from? How dare he covet Xie Zhao's people? And he's so clingy!
He nodded at Ling Hao with a forced smile, then grabbed Chu Linyuan's arm with considerable force, practically dragging him behind a nearby giant tree. "Brother! Come here! I have some sect secrets to share with you!"
Chu Linyuan was obediently pulled away, leaving Ling Hao standing there with a bewildered look on his face, and Luo Hongyi, Su Tang and others who were watching the show.
Behind the giant tree, Xie Zhao pushed the man against the trunk. Although he couldn't move him, he pressed himself up, staring at Chu Linyuan with his peach blossom eyes, lowering his voice and gritting his teeth: "Chu Linyuan! Explain it to me clearly! What's wrong with that kid? Huh? It's only been a short time? And he's already devoted to you? What did you do to him?"
Chu Linyuan looked at the angry face so close to him, feeling the warm breath coming from the other person, which was a mixture of the scent of the rainforest and a faint medicinal fragrance. A very faint smile flashed in the depths of his eyes, but his face still looked icy.
