Chapter 354 Long Jingyun's Despicable Methods

"Huh? It actually withstood my sword strike?"

Just as Lu Yang shattered the enormous sword light that had descended from the sky with a single punch, a slightly surprised voice came from the entrance.

then.

Lu Yang and his group saw a horse-faced youth with a gloomy face that looked like it was about to drip water walk up the steps at the entrance. His gaze swept over them with an arrogant and condescending attitude, and finally settled on his face.

The horse-faced youth suddenly spoke up, asking Lu Yang with a puzzled look, "Kid, was it you who took my sword strike just now?"

If Lu Yang hadn't been walking in front, and if the others hadn't been following his lead, he really wouldn't have believed that the sword strike he had just delivered was taken by this young man in his early twenties.

He could tell that the other party's cultivation level was only at the ninth level of the Acquired Realm, but since it was the other party who accepted the challenge, he was absolutely certain that the other party had deliberately concealed their martial arts realm.

Lu Yang glanced up at the horse-faced youth and said indifferently, "If you know what's good for you, get lost, or I'll just throw you off the mountain!"

Upon hearing this, the horse-faced youth felt an unnamed rage surge forth like magma.

He had just been humiliated by Gu Yuan of the Ancient Beast Sect, and now, unexpectedly, he was being threatened by a mere brat. How could he not be furious?

He immediately roared in fury, "You little bastard, you're like a toad yawning, aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? Since you're so eager to go down the mountain, then I'll grant your wish!"

Swish!

The horse-faced youth stomped his foot slightly and swooped down like an eagle, his claws aimed directly at Lu Yang's neck. Since Lu Yang was going to throw him off the mountain, he would use the same method to deal with him.

"Well?"

However, just as his hand was about to touch Lu Yang's neck, it was seized by the other party like an iron clamp. Then, to his astonishment, an unimaginable force was transmitted through his body, and his entire body, as the other party released him, crashed down the mountain like a real meteorite.

The horse-faced youth watched himself plummet downwards like lightning, unable to hold back a piercing and terrified scream: "Ah..."

Rumble!

However, with a loud roar, the other party's voice completely disappeared from everyone's ears.

Lu Yang didn't even glance at the other person, and led everyone to the top of the mountain.

Looking up, the mountaintop is a huge flat area that looks as if it was leveled by a giant sword. It is planted with many flowers, trees and shrubs, and these flowers, trees and shrubs have become extraordinary after being nourished by the spiritual spring.

Similarly, on the flat ground, there were some young men and women standing, sitting, or even lying down. These people were naturally from the five major sects of the ancient city, as well as a small number of talented disciples from the eight great families of the ancient city.

There were also eight young masters and noblemen who had come all the way from the capital, including Long Jingyun.

Lu Yang's gaze swept over and spotted them. Similarly, as soon as they appeared on the mountaintop, everyone on the ground turned their gazes toward them.

When Long Jingyun saw that it was Lu Yang, his expression became even more resentful, but with the spiritual spring about to gush forth, he was not prepared to attack Lu Yang immediately.

Because, in his view, as long as Lu Yang is in the Phoenix Secret Realm, he will have plenty of time to seek revenge.

However, he planned to find a helper to drive Lu Yang, Chu Yuyao, and the others down the mountain to prevent them from bathing in the spiritual spring. He believed that the others would not want Lu Yang and the trash behind her to share the spiritual spring with them, the true martial arts prodigies.

He couldn't help but say calmly, "The Spirit Spring isn't something some trash can share with us. Whoever is willing to help drive those people down from the mountains, I'm willing to offer them a mid-grade Breaking Heaven Pill!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan of the Ancient Beast Sect, who had just sat down not far from Long Jingyun, raised his thick, dark eyebrows and asked, "Young Master Jingyun, are you serious?"

call out!

Without any preamble, Long Jingyun quickly took out a mid-grade Breaking Heaven Pill from his storage bracelet and tossed it to the skeptical man, saying, "Genuine, no doubt about it!"

Gu Yuan excitedly accepted the mid-grade Breakthrough Pill. Although it was only mid-grade, it would still be very useful for his physique as he was about to break through to the Grandmaster level.

He immediately put away the Breaking Heaven Pill, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Long Jingyun, and said, "Young Master Jingyun is magnanimous. I also find these trash an eyesore. I will throw them all down the mountain now to avoid disturbing Young Master Jingyun and the other young masters and gentlemen present from their enjoyment of bathing in the spiritual spring!"

Suddenly!

Gu Yuan's burly, tank-like body suddenly stood up and strode towards Lu Yang and the others.

Soon, Gu Yuan arrived in front of Lu Yang and the others. His gaze couldn't help but sweep over the delicate bodies of Chu Yuyao and Xin Yi a few times. He recognized the two women, especially Xin Yi.

However, he had no intention of showing any mercy to the women. Instead, he snorted coldly at Lu Yang and the others like a bull, saying, "Get lost! If you know what's good for you, get down the mountain on your own. Don't make me do it myself, or you'll be smashed to pieces!"

Lu Yang never expected that Long Jingyun would play this trick on him, but he didn't care at all.

Instead, he said mockingly to Gu Yuan, "You'd better obediently get down the mountain and not make me do it myself, otherwise you'll be thrown down the mountain too, and you'll be smashed to pieces just like me!"

Gu Yuan had just displayed his might at the foot of the mountain, and he was quite certain that Lu Yang and the others had witnessed it firsthand. If they knew what was good for them, they would obediently roll down the mountain as he instructed, and he would get a mid-grade Breaking Heaven Pill for free without him having to lift a finger.

This is the best thing ever.

However?

To his utter disbelief, the other party not only didn't leave, but dared to mock him with the same words. A surge of anger welled up within him, and he roared, "You little bastard, I see you won't learn your lesson until you're faced with death! Fine, I'll personally take action now, throw you down the mountain, and capture your two girls while I'm at it. Later, when the spiritual spring gushes forth, I'll bathe in it while I kill them all..."

"Ha ha……"

Gu Yuan made no fancy moves; his bronze claws, like real steel claws, lashed out towards Lu Yang's shoulder.

Although there are no special techniques involved, the speed is frighteningly fast.

Seeing this, Lu Yang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Gu Yuan was indeed a true prodigy in physical cultivation, having cultivated his physique to such a level that it was comparable to that of a true grandmaster.
