Even though it was too late, Mister Qiao was both shocked and furious. His five fingers spread open, and a glaring green hand appeared, grabbing Ling Dong's sword!
The attack of an Disha Realm expert was extraordinary. In an instant, regardless of whether it was Ling Yuanshan or Ling Dong, both of them felt a powerful pressure bearing down on them. At the same time, the pressure increased, causing them to feel suffocated.
Hua!
"Brother Qiao, please show mercy!" Ling Yuanshan was worried that Mister Qiao would hurt Ling Dong, and cried out. Before his cry had died away, the situation on the battlefield had changed again.
Just as Mister Qiao was about to attack, Ling Dong seemed to have predicted it. With a strange turn of his body, he moved behind Bi Pengzhuo, the longsword in his hand still pressed against Bi Pengzhuo's neck.
The only difference was that there was a rather deep cut on the left side of Bi Pengzhuo's neck. It was caused by the sword intent that Ling Dong had just spat out.
As for the green hand that Mister Qiao had conjured, it had almost snapped Bi Pengzhuo's neck because of Ling Dong's sudden shift in position.
His attack had failed, and Ling Yuanshan had cried out in surprise. Furthermore, Mister Qiao had also clearly seen that Bi Pengzhuo had not been killed. At the same time, he had guessed Ling Dong's true intentions. He had only wanted to force Bi Pengzhuo to apologize. His martial nephew's actions today were indeed a little too much.
With a cold snort, the green hand exploded into a ball of starlight and dissipated into the air.
"Martial Uncle!" As the person involved, Bi Pengzhuo had truly brushed shoulders with death. His face was pale from fright, but he wanted to appear more unyielding in front of his junior sister, Qiao Ruyan. He did not want to apologize or admit defeat, so he called out for help.
Qiao Ruyan, who had been observing coldly, revealed a trace of disappointment when she saw her senior brother's performance. Actually, she had long seen that Ling Dong today would not kill Bi Pengzhuo no matter what. Calling for help from Martial Uncle was already admitting defeat.
Little did he know that his image in his Junior Martial Sister's heart had plummeted. He was still thinking about how to instigate his Martial Uncle to teach that trash a lesson.
Without waiting for Mister Qiao to speak, Ling Dong spoke again. "Mister Qiao, do all the disciples of the Clear Sword Sect, one of the three great sects of the Yaoguang Empire, have the same temperament as Brother Bi?"
Ling Yuanshan also showed a trace of indignation at the right time. Today, Bi Pengzhuo was really too outrageous. When the elders were talking, he actually interrupted and ridiculed them many times.
These words caused Mister Qiao to swallow the words that he was about to say. At the same time, Ling Dong tightened his grip on the longsword that was pressed against Bi Pengzhuo's throat as he sinisterly said, "Apologize. Otherwise, I don't mind giving you a bloody hole."
After saying this, Ling Dong didn't say anything else. The killing intent that he had accumulated for hundreds of years in his previous life and the killing intent that he had gained from killing more than ten people in the mountain today combined perfectly. It continuously attacked Bi Pengzhuo's mind from the cold edge of his sword.
Cold sweat was already dripping down Bi Pengzhuo's forehead. He felt that Ling Dong's sword had already pierced into his body. It was very painful and very cold. If he didn't speak, he would die. Die!
"Don't, I apologize!" Bi Pengzhuo, who had been forced to the brink by the killing intent, suddenly cried out in a trembling voice.
"Uncle Ling, Brother Ling, I was ignorant. I was uneducated and spoke carelessly. I was wrong, I apologize!" Bi Pengzhuo's tone was extremely horrified. If it wasn't for Ling Dong's sword at his throat, this guy might have even kowtowed, let alone bent over.
"Hmph!" With a cold snort, Ling Dong withdrew his sword and quickly hid behind his father. As an old monster who had lived for hundreds of years, Ling Dong was still very rational.
The Ling family was now in troubled times. The matter of the crystal mine had been exposed, and there couldn't be too many variables. If he killed Bi Pengzhuo today, he would completely offend the Clear Sword Sect. This Mister Qiao might even capture him and bring him to the Clear Sword Sect to be dealt with. With his current cultivation, Ling Dong wasn't confident that he could escape from the hands of an Earth Realm expert.
With the threat removed, Bi Pengzhuo, who was still apologizing in a trembling voice, suddenly changed into a ferocious expression. He was a Xiantian Realm Level Four expert, but he was actually restrained by a Houtian Realm Level Nine guy and forced to apologize in front of his junior sister. This was a great humiliation, and he had to repay it!
The best way to take revenge was to do the same. Anyway, with his second martial uncle present, Ling Yuanshan wouldn't attack him. Dealing with a piece of trash at Houtian Realm Level Nine was a piece of cake.
Just as Bi Pengzhuo showed signs of attacking and was about to pounce, Mister Qiao's face suddenly turned green. "Hmph!"
He deliberately let out a cold snort. It was like a sharp whistle that directly entered Bi Pengzhuo's ears. At the same time, Bi Pengzhuo's face turned pale, and his body swayed a few times.
Miraculously, in the face of this low snort, the others weren't hurt at all.
Just as Bi Pengzhuo was puzzled, Mister Qiao stood up. "Brother Ling, my disciple is stubborn and has embarrassed himself in front of you. I will definitely discipline him more in the future." As he spoke, he pointed at Ling Dong. "I see that your son is weary and exhausted. We will settle these two small matters in a few days. Goodbye!"
Ling Dong was shocked. This Mister Qiao could even see that. He only slept for two hours every night and had been on the road for four days. Ling Dong was indeed extremely tired.
"Ai, Brother Qiao, what are you saying? Dong 'er was too impulsive and forced your martial nephew to lower his head. I am truly sorry, truly sorry!" When he said this, Ling Yuanshan's face was refreshed, and there wasn't a trace of apology. To be honest, if it weren't for Mister Qiao's face, he, Ling Yuanshan, would have beaten up that arrogant Bi Pengzhuo long ago.
Hearing this, Bi Pengzhuo's face turned even uglier. He secretly glanced at his junior sister and found that she was still standing there like smoke and mist, like a fairy without any expression.
After a round of pleasantries, Mister Qiao took Qiao Ruyan and Bi Pengzhuo, who had a red handprint on his face, and left.
When they were about to leave, Qiao Ruyan, who had always been as elegant as smoke and mist, suddenly turned her head and glanced at Ling Dong, who had followed her father out to see the guests off.
This time, Qiao Ruyan was disappointed again. She found that Ling Dong was behind her, and wasn't secretly staring at her like the others.
This time, Qiao Ruyan was really curious and couldn't help but take a few more glances at Ling Dong.
Bi Pengzhuo, who was secretly glancing at his junior sister, immediately noticed that Qiao Ruyan's gaze was focused on Ling Dong. Her gaze was filled with 'sadness,' jealousy, and anger. A cold light flashed across his eyes.
What Qiao Ruyan didn't know was that because of the annulment of the engagement in his previous life, Ling Dong didn't hate the elegant and beautiful Qiao Ruyan, but he absolutely loathed her.
Just now, Ling Dong had thought about whether he should throw a divorce letter at her face to prevent future troubles.
-----
On the way back, Mister Qiao's face was dark and he didn't say a word. Bi Pengzhuo also didn't dare to say anything. When they arrived at one of the properties that the Bright Sword Sect had set up in South Mountain Commandery to rest, Bi Pengzhuo couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Martial Uncle, why didn't you mention annulling the engagement from start to end today? Today's matter has already escalated to such an extent. Isn't it natural to mention annulling the engagement?" Bi Pengzhuo asked.
Qiao Ruyan's delicate body trembled when she heard this. She didn't say a word and only lightly bit her alluring red lips.
Mister Qiao's face darkened when he heard this. He questioned, "When did I say that I was here to annul the engagement? Is this something that you can casually comment on? "
His reprimand made Bi Pengzhuo dizzy and disoriented. Wasn't he here to annul the engagement?
Seeing Bi Pengzhuo's confused expression, Mister Qiao continued slowly, "Today, I saw that Ling Dong is completely different from what the anonymous letter said. He's a profligate, lecherous, and good-for-nothing! He's also not like what I heard a few days ago in South Mountain Commandery. He's a profligate, lecherous, and drunkard!
In a little over a month, his cultivation level rose from Houtian Realm Level Eight to Houtian Realm Level Nine. He was also able to kill a Xiantian Realm Level Four three-tailed demon dog alone. This kind of ability is rare even in our Bright Sword Sect! "
Bi Pengzhuo panicked when he heard this. "Martial Uncle, that Ling Dong's cultivation level rose from Houtian Realm Level Eight to Houtian Realm Level Nine in a little over a month. Perhaps the father and son colluded to deceive you. In this day and age, it's normal for sixteen or seventeen-year-old disciples of aristocratic families to condense their auras. And the three-tailed demon dog that he killed, isn't that a flaw? The three-tailed demon dog's weakness is its tail, and he's still spouting nonsense about its eyes being afraid of strong light … "
"Ignorant! Shut your mouth! " Mister Qiao was furious. "The three-tailed demon dog's weakness is its tail. That's only a rumor among the martial artists. Haven't you read the Demon Hunting and Picking Up Lost Things manual that is only taught to the elite disciples of the Bright Sword Sect?
It's clearly recorded that if the three-tailed demon dog encounters a strong light, it will be momentarily sluggish. If the demon hunter's hands and eyes are fast enough, that momentary pause can be used to kill the demon with a single slash! " After he finished speaking, Mister Qiao muttered, "But even if you know the weakness, that momentary pause is something that even an ordinary Xiantian Realm martial artist wouldn't be able to grasp …"
"I …" Bi Pengzhuo was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that what Ling Dong said was actually true. He really hadn't read the manual that Martial Uncle mentioned.
"That's right, Martial Uncle. Someone must be helping him. You mustn't be fooled by that kid. This marriage must be annulled!" Hearing Mister Qiao's mutterings, Bi Pengzhuo didn't give up.
Mister Qiao glared at him. "Shut up. Is this something that you can butt in? Based on what I've seen today, this Ling family isn't as bad as the rumors and letters make them out to be. Not only that, but they're also somewhat extraordinary! "
Previously, he had conjured a large green hand to save Bi Pengzhuo. However, Ling Dong seemed to have the help of the gods as he dodged in advance. Furthermore, his speed was definitely not bad … To be able to dodge an attack from an Earth Realm expert like him, he wasn't simple … definitely not simple …
Hearing the mutterings, Bi Pengzhuo was stunned. His gaze swept across his Junior Apprentice Sister's alluring body that was as calm as water and smoke. A ferocious light flashed in his scorching eyes. "Since he's extraordinary enough to make you admire him, then I'll directly make him extraordinary enough to make you loathe him!"
"Martial Uncle, since I've come to South Mountain County, I have a few friends that I'd like to meet. I hope Martial Uncle will allow it!" Bi Pengzhuo suddenly said with certainty.
Mister Qiao, who was deep in thought, was stunned. He then waved his hand and laughed. "Since when do you need to ask me for permission to meet friends? Go, don't cause trouble!"
After responding, Bi Pengzhuo's gaze fiercely glared at his Junior Apprentice Sister's alluring body before he strode away.
