Chapter 515: Kang Min

Linghu Chong's cultivation realm had broken through to Grandmaster in a short time.

Although it is unknown if North Shaolin had gifted him a "Great Restoration Pill,"

Dongfang Bubai had certainly gifted him many treasures to enhance his internal power.

For his cultivation to progress so quickly,

at the very least, Linghu Chong's state of mind could not have any problems.

In other words, he was willing,

and perhaps even enjoyed it.

Linghu Chong had originally suffered a huge blow from Gu Hanyuan

because of Yue Lingshan,

and had been depressed ever since.

He was accidentally captured by the Sun Moon Divine Sect in Luoyang,

and had saved the heavily wounded Yang Lianting.

Otherwise, given Yang Lianting's injuries at the time, he might not have survived to reach Black Wood Cliff.

On Black Wood Cliff,

Linghu Chong was certainly resistant at first,

but subsequently received a great deal of care and concern from Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting,

which saved the decadent Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong, who valued gratitude, could not resist the temptation of two people who had practiced the "Sunflower Manual."

After one drunken night,

a grave mistake was made.

After that, it was a process of self-abandonment and continuing down the wrong path.

In short, the process was too painful to watch;

Gu Hanyuan didn't even dare to think about it.

Linghu Chong's expression changed when he saw Gu Hanyuan.

Seeing that the person beside Gu Hanyuan was not Yue Lingshan,

his pent-up resentment erupted.

He unleashed the "Dugu Nine Swords" to attack Gu Hanyuan.

The "Dugu Nine Swords" were no longer worth a glance to the current Gu Hanyuan.

He dealt with Linghu Chong casually, in the mood of watching a show.

Meanwhile, Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai were also enemies meeting with extreme jealousy.

They soon began to fight fiercely.

Unlike in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer,"

Yang Lianting was not a weakling without the strength to truss a chicken this time.

Although he had suffered not-insignificant injuries,

Ren Yingying could not defeat him in a short while.

With Yang Lianting no longer hindering him,

and without Linghu Chong's help,

Ren Woxing had originally wanted to settle scores with Dongfang Bubai,

but did not expect that Dongfang Bubai had already broken through to the Grandmaster Realm.

Ren Woxing was suddenly in precarious danger.

Seeing this, he hurriedly pleaded for help:

"Little Brother Gu, come help me quickly!"

Gu Hanyuan took the opportunity to set a condition:

"I want the recipe for the Three-Corpse Brain-God Pill."

Ren Woxing hesitated for a moment upon hearing this.

However, it was this very moment that caused him to be struck by another needle from Dongfang Bubai.

He could no longer care about his resentment toward Gu Hanyuan's extortion,

and pleaded for help again:

"I agree!"

Gu Hanyuan was not in a hurry at all,

and said calmly:

"I also need Yingying to help me do some things; Senior Ren must not interfere."

Ren Woxing was already unable to parry,

and could only shout:

"I agree, I agree to everything."

Gu Hanyuan smiled with satisfaction,

snapped the long sword in Linghu Chong's hand,

and utilized the "Wind God Leg."

With the most proficient "Strong Grass in the Wind," he kicked Dongfang Bubai away.

Dongfang Bubai was shocked,

and endured the intense pain to fight Gu Hanyuan.

The "Sunflower Manual" indeed has extremely fast movement techniques,

allowing one to remain undefeated even when facing someone stronger.

Yet, he was facing Gu Hanyuan, whose lightness skill was peerless in the world.

He was outpaced by Gu Hanyuan,

and the final move, "Divine Wind Roar," directly shattered Dongfang Bubai's heart meridian,

kicking him to Linghu Chong's side.

"Dongfang!"

Linghu Chong supported him with concern.

Seeing Dongfang Bubai defeated,

Yang Lianting, at the cost of taking two sword strikes from Ren Yingying, threw himself onto Dongfang Bubai,

his expression terrified:

"Dongfang! Are you alright?"

"Younger Sister Lian, I am finished."

Dongfang Bubai smiled miserably,

and asked Linghu Chong, who was filled with sorrow, affectionately:

"Brother Chong, have you ever loved me?"

Linghu Chong replied with tears streaming down his face:

"I have."

Dongfang Bubai smiled with relief:

"That is good."

Gu Hanyuan watched this emotional drama;

apart from it being a painful sight,

he felt not a shred of being moved.

Dongfang Bubai looked longingly at Linghu Chong,

and used his remaining internal power to push Linghu Chong into a secret passage in a rockery.
