Chapter 65: Pretentious as the Wind

Your Excellency, you're being completely unreasonable, aren't you?

You just casually want to take my disciple—did you even ask if I agree?

Kneel!

Lin Yang's gaze sharpened.

Immediately afterward, a terrifying finger strike shot toward the power mass condensed from purple flower petals.

Ah!

From within the purple-flower-petal power mass came a woman's anguished scream.

It was obvious that Lin Yang's strike had severely wounded the controller behind it.

However, before Lin Yang could strike again,

Ah!

Once more, a woman's anguished cry echoed from the purple-flower-petal power mass.

Lin Yang blinked in surprise.

I haven't even lifted a finger—what are you yelling about?

Bang!

A fierce sword intent slashed down from the purple-flower-petal power mass.

Looking again, Li Yilan burst out, carrying her parents' remains, from beneath the flower-petal power.

At that moment, Li Yilan wore a cold expression, her aura powerful—she had evidently reached Great Saint Realm strength.

Her combat power was peerless.

Her sharpness shone forth.

But once she broke free and landed, the power mass clinging to her vanished instantly.

It turns out the woman inside the Azure Ring had lent Li Yilan a hand, granting her Great Saint Realm strength in an instant, enabling her to smash through the purple-flower-petal power mass and escape.

"Senior, thank you for your help," Li Yilan said gratefully.

"It's nothing."

"Before, my soul power was limited; each use drained a bit. Now your master gave me Yao Lao's soul power—we've never had such a plentiful supply, so we can use it freely."

"Girl, if you run into trouble later, I'll help you bear it."

"Yes, senior."

Li Yilan blinked in surprise; since receiving Yao Lao's soul power, the senior seemed more enthusiastic.

Immediately, Li Yilan hurried to Lin Yang's side, utterly confused, asking: "Master, what's going on?"

Li Yilan stared in shock at the purple-flower-petal power mass—it was terrifying and mighty, and even her desperate struggle could not break free of its hold.

If not for your master's strike that severely wounded that power mass, she wouldn't have escaped so easily.

"I don't know—are you okay?"

Lin Yang asked, concerned.

"I'm fine," Li Yilan replied.

Ah!

As the two conversed, another woman's anguished cry rang out from within the purple-flower-petal power mass.

Lin Yang blinked.

Neither he nor Li Yilan has lifted a finger—what are you yelling 'ah ah ah' for?

Could it be, that's a wanton cloud?

Can it be wanton even in daylight?

But when the two looked closely, they saw it was the Qingmu Sect Master attacking the purple-flower-petal power mass.

Thus.

This power mass had originally intended to suddenly strike and abduct Li Yilan along with her parents' remains.

Now.

It has miscalculated.

First it was heavily struck by Lin Yang's finger, then Li Yilan unleashed a heaven-shaking sword from within, and finally it was slammed several times by the Qingmu Sect Master.

Trying to steal a chicken but ending up with nothing.

Her aura was visibly waning, no longer possessing its former unstoppable momentum.

Lin Yang narrowed his eyes, looking at the power mass and said: "Since you dare to snatch someone right before me, why not show your true face?"

"Give me your name—who are you, and why are you abducting my disciple and her parents' remains?"

Lin Yang couldn't fathom it: the Xiao clan is already destroyed, Xiao Huo and Yao Lao are dead—who else could still be plotting against his disciple and her parents' remains?

The opponent's origins are unknown, so he naturally wants to get to the bottom of it.

Otherwise, with the enemy lurking in the shadows and him in the open, he'd feel uneasy.

"Hmph!"

A woman's voice came from within the purple-flower-petal power mass: "Since you've come to abduct people, how could you expect to see my true face?"

"Don't waste your effort—I won't tell you my identity or background, nor will I reveal my purpose in abducting her."

Immediately.

The power mass suddenly surged with menace, threatening: "Kid, I advise you not to meddle in happy affairs—quickly hand over this girl and her parents' remains, or if you offend me, even ten lives won't be enough."

"So you're threatening me?" Lin Yang narrowed his eyes at the purple-flower-petal power mass.

"That's right."

A disdainful chuckle came from within the power mass: "I advise you to know the times and become a hero."

「Although you have some ability, in front of me you can't stir up any waves。」

Bang!

Lin Yang wasn't wasting words, but instead pointed a finger forward.

The strong power again dealt a heavy blow to the power mass condensed from purple petals.

「Ah! 」

Within that mass of power, a woman's miserable scream rang out again, and she immediately threatened: 「Kid, are you being obstinate and insensible? 」

「Slay Immortal! 」

Lin Yang manipulated the Emperor Sword, thrusting out with a killing strike.

Boom!

That mass of power was directly blown open a huge hole.

「Ah! 」

The woman's miserable cry rang out again: 「Kid, I've remembered you; we cannot coexist. 」

「One Sword Slay Immortal! 」

Boom!

Emperor Sword plus One Sword Slay Immortal again blasted the mass of power condensed from purple petals.

Hum!

The earth shuddered, and that mass of power instantly scattered, leaving only seven or eight petals.

「Kid, you really don't know what's good for you! 」 The woman's threatening voice continued from within the petals.

「However, what of it? Even if you go all out, can you kill me? 」

「You can't kill me; as long as I have even one petal left, I can regroup my power, and you can never kill me completely. 」

Lin Yang's brows furrowed tightly.

These words were extremely provocative.

But they are reasonable.

Li Yilan's strike, the Azure Wood Sect Master's blow, neither could kill the opponent.

Moreover, he repeatedly attacked, using the Slay Immortal Emperor Sword and the One Sword Slay Immortal technique, yet still could not kill the opponent.

This made him even more curious: who exactly is this person? Where do they come from, and why do they possess such divine ability?

「Kid, it's not too late to repent here; as long as you hand over that girl and her parents' remains, I can let go of our grudge. 」

「Otherwise, I will be your eternal enemy, neither living nor dying in peace. 」

「Noisy! 」

Lin Yang then once again struck out with a sword to kill.

A powerful sword aura instantly enveloped those seven or eight purple petals.

Bang!

After one sword strike, that terrifying sword might only have destroyed one or two petals, but not all of them, still leaving five or six petals, impossible to kill completely.

「Hahaha! 」

The woman's mocking voice came: 「Don't waste your effort; as I said, you can't kill me completely. 」

「Moreover, my remaining petals are absurdly resilient. 」

Seeing that pretentious existence inside the petals, Lin Yang was so angry he gritted his teeth,

But he really had no way to wipe out these petals.

And just at that moment.

An egg rolled out from Lin Yang's pant leg.

「Yah! 」

Li Yilan exclaimed in surprise: 「Master, your egg fell. 」
