"You have quite the arrogant tone." Xu Ruoqing helped the fallen Qiu Zhiping to his feet. He and Ye Qian looked at Li Wuze with hostility.
"Are the disciples of your Beast Taming Sect always so unreasonable? If you are here to visit the Flowing Cloud Sect, then you should act according to our rules."
Li Wuze paid no attention to their words at all. Rules? Standing here, he, Li Wuze, was the rules.
"What's the use of you telling me all this? The great Flowing Cloud Sect doesn't even have a single person who can fight." Li Wuze pursed his lips. "If you don't dare to make a move, then hurry up and get lost. You're an eyesore!"
Ye Qian's face turned red with anger. "You arrogant fool, I will test your skills."
Xu Ruoqing wanted to stop her, but it was already too late. Ye Qian charged forward, her Yue Maiden Sword Art flowing out naturally. Several clear shadows intertwined, forming a large net that enveloped Li Wuze.
"Since your elders never taught you to treat others with courtesy, then today, I'll let the sword in my hand teach you how to speak!"
Facing Ye Qian, Li Wuze wasn't the least bit panicked. As her sword thrust forward, just as it was about to hit him, he suddenly sidestepped.
Ye Qian's expression changed. How is that possible? My sword qi had clearly locked onto him.
In just an instant, the tide of battle was reversed. Li Wuze's hand clamped down on Ye Qian's shoulder. "Woman, you are too weak. Not my type!"
The moment he finished speaking, he grunted. A terrifying force instantly threw Ye Qian's entire body through the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of muffled explosions erupted from Ye Qian's body as she flew backward, as if bombs inside her had been detonated. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. The moment she was about to land, Ye Qian gritted her teeth and used a light movement technique to barely stabilize herself.
Xu Ruoqing came over. "You were too impulsive. Since he dared to act this way, it means he wasn't afraid of us making a move."
"Cough, cough," Ye Qian coughed twice. "Then what else could I do? Just watch him act so wantonly in our Flowing Cloud Sect? It's only because our senior brothers are all busy with the recent incidents. Otherwise, when would it be a Yuan Sea Realm cultivator's turn to be so rampant?"
Ye Qian was unreconciled. If she were just a little stronger, she could have taught this arrogant fool a lesson.
Xu Ruoqing sighed. "Let me handle this."
Li Wuze suddenly interrupted them. "Coming at me one by one is too boring. You should all just come at me together. It'll be faster. After I beat you, I have other things to do."
This feeling of being looked down upon was truly infuriating. But there was nothing Ye Qian could do. Li Wuze was a beast tamer, and he had defeated her without his spirit beast even making a move. So what if she and Xu Ruoqing attacked together?
"What a pity, if Lin..."
Before Xu Ruoqing could finish, he heard someone yawn nearby. Lin Yun walked out from the side with an impatient look on his face. "I said, are you all done yet? You're disturbing someone's rest, you know?"
Li Wuze frowned. When did this guy get here?
When Ye Qian saw Lin Yun, her face grew even uglier. "What business is it of yours?"
Lin Yun looked Ye Qian up and down. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you've already been beaten to the point of coughing up blood, and you're still talking so tough. Big Sister, of course it's none of my business. After all, I'm just a gatekeeper. But for you inner-sect disciples to lose to a circus act, isn't that embarrassing?"
The moment he said this, both Ye Qian's and Li Wuze's faces turned grim. Especially Li Wuze's.
He roared, "You bastard, who are you calling a circus act? I know plenty of inner-sect disciples from the Flowing Cloud Sect. Which one are you?"
Lin Yun snorted and shot a look at Ye Qian. Then he turned around, picking his ear. "What are you yelling about? I'm not deaf yet. The Flowing Cloud Sect's mountain gate disciple, that's me." He patted his chest.
"Mountain gate disciple?" Li Wuze came to his senses, then burst into laughter. "I was wondering who it was. After all this, it turns out you're just a gatekeeper? You brat, get on your knees and apologize to me!" His eyes instantly turned fierce. "Otherwise, just for insulting my sect just now, I can kill you."
Lin Yun stood with his arms crossed, completely fearless. "And what if I don't listen to you? What will you do?"
He hadn't wanted to make a move originally, but seeing Ye Qian and the others being so useless, he couldn't let the Flowing Cloud Sect lose face. He had no choice but to reluctantly give it a try. But Li Wuze was indeed very strong, a rare genius among the younger generation of the Beast Taming Sect. The combined strength of him and his beast was at least at the Void-Gazing Realm.
Ye Qian said stubbornly, "Lin Yun, this is none of your business. Get lost. We don't need help from a gatekeeper."
Lin Yun's brow was covered in black lines. "Big Sister, you think I want to get involved? I was sleeping soundly, and you all were over here with your non-stop flapping gums. You woke me up, understand? Just stand there and watch. I'll finish this up quickly so I can go back to sleep."
Lin Yun's retort left Ye Qian speechless. This young miss only ever seemed to suffer setbacks when it came to Lin Yun. Seeing that she was about to spit blood from anger, Xu Ruoqing hurriedly comforted her. Then he said to Lin Yun, "Lin Yun, are you really sure about this? Be careful. This guy's spirit beast is very strong."
Lin Yun waved his hand. "I know." He was getting impatient. Spirit beast? What use was that? Did he really think that he, your grandpa, had been reading the Strange Records of Mountains and Seas for nothing all these days? While he couldn't exactly control a spirit beast now, at least subduing it and interfering with Li Wuze's commands was no problem.
"You brat, you dare to look down on me. Take my fist!" Hearing the contempt in Lin Yun's words, Li Wuze couldn't take it anymore. Damn it, I have to beat this kid to death today!
He rolled up his sleeves and charged over, swinging his fist. The wind from his punch was fierce. With the sound of a sonic boom, it arrived in an instant.
Seeing that Lin Yun still hadn't reacted, Li Wuze sneered inwardly. Looks like another one who's all for show. I'll smash your head in today!
But the moment this thought flashed through his mind, Lin Yun suddenly moved with incredible speed. But with only one hand.
Smack!
Lin Yun's right hand firmly gripped Li Wuze's fist.
The entire scene fell silent.
Li Wuze was dumbfounded. Xu Ruoqing and Ye Qian were also dumbfounded. Lin Yun hadn't enjoyed his status as an inner-sect disciple for long before being kicked down the mountain. So in their eyes, his strength was at most at the first level of Yuan Sea, or perhaps still at the peak of Nascent Yuan. Facing an expert like Li Wuze, there was no way he could fight, right?
Who would have thought that Lin Yun would block Li Wuze's punch? And with such ease. That was an attack that even Ye Qian couldn't withstand.
Lin Yun looked at Li Wuze and tapped his forehead with his left hand. "Hey, did you forget to eat? Why so little strength?"
Li Wuze was a bit dazed. Is my strength really that little?
