The Whale in the Mountains
Chapter 260 The Gap in Strength
The white-robed youth shouted arrogantly, twisting his wrist and creating a blade flower in the air.
It was a pity he forgot that his blade had already shattered, leaving only the hilt. Instead of showing off, he just looked like an idiot.
But these details weren't important. What mattered was that he and his senior brother had Master Lin under control, which made him feel extremely excited.
You had to know, this was their first time fighting anyone since entering the martial world!
Master Lin snorted coldly, "Boy, you think you've already won? In your eyes, is the peak of the Entering Dao realm so useless?"
"Humph, so what if you're at the peak of the Entering Dao realm? Since you won't surrender, then this young master will beat you until you do!"
The white-robed youth cracked his knuckles, ready to show Master Lin what he was made of.
But then they heard Master Lin suddenly raise his arm and shout!
Pfft—
Behind the white-robed youth, the black-robed youth coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell backward.
As for the shadow connecting him to Master Lin, it shattered without being attacked!
"The technique isn't bad, but unfortunately, your strength is too weak."
Master Lin said calmly, a layer of white light flickering around him, making him look like an immortal from a movie.
He didn't mean to look down on the two youths, but he was just stating the truth.
After all, these two youths were young, their cultivation was only at the beginning Entering Dao realm, while Master Lin was already at the peak.
There were several minor realms in between, and each minor realm represented a qualitative leap in strength.
So Master Lin was able to break free from the restraints of the shadow connection simply because his raw strength was there!
The white-robed youth was shocked to see Master Lin break free from the restraints and send his senior brother flying back, coughing up blood.
But he didn't retreat. He gritted his teeth and charged toward Master Lin, "So what if you're at the peak of the Entering Dao realm? This young master will fight you to the death today!"
The white-robed youth instantly rushed in front of Master Lin, baring his teeth, looking like he was going to fight Master Lin with his life.
"Idiot."
Master Lin smiled disdainfully, then waved his hand, and a wave of white light swept toward the white-robed youth.
Bang!
The white-robed youth flew backward, falling next to his senior brother, blood streaming from his mouth, even more severely injured than his senior brother.
Seeing this scene, the group of纨绔子弟 (wankuzi di,纨绔子弟) were all dumbfounded.
It was their first time seeing such a scene, and they didn't find it novel, only terrifying.
After the white-robed youth and his senior brother exchanged a look, they suddenly stood up, looking like they were still going to fight Master Lin to the death.
You can lose the battle, but you can't lose the momentum!
But at this moment, the blue-robed old man suddenly shouted sharply, "You two, stop!"
The white-robed youth looked at the blue-robed old man unwillingly, "Master..."
"Shut up!"
The blue-robed old man scolded, "Master Lin has already shown mercy. You are inferior in skill, so just admit defeat. Stop pestering him!"
The blue-robed old man could see that this Master Lin from Hong Kong had some real skill. If he had been ruthless, they would be corpses by now!
The blue-robed old man waved his hand and said to Master Lin, "Today ends here. You can leave. If you want to come, come another day. After today, I won't stop you again!"
He Xin Yi frowned and scolded, "Old man, you are really unreasonable. We are the ones who are winning, so why are you making demands of us? Do you even want your old face anymore?"
The blue-robed old man didn't bother arguing with a woman.
He frowned and said with his hands behind his back, "Master Lin has already fought with my two disciples today. If I were to fight him again, wouldn't that mean I'm engaging in a轮战 (lunzhan, attrition warfare) against him with my disciples? Even if I win, it would be a dishonorable victory. Where would I put my old face if that got out?"
"Old sir, you haven't even fought yet, how do you know you will definitely win?"
Master Lin said sternly.
But he also knew that he wouldn't have much chance of winning if he fought the old man right now.
Because he had just fought the two youths, and although it looked easy, he had actually consumed a lot of spiritual energy when breaking the shadow restraints.
But having been entrusted with this task, he had to see it through, and he couldn't back down at this critical moment.
The blue-robed old man frowned, very puzzled, "Master Lin, you should know that you don't have much chance of winning if you fight me now!"
"Stop talking nonsense. You won't know if you have a chance until you fight. It's not up to you to decide. Master Lin, make it quick, don't waste time!"
He Xin Yi shouted impatiently, she couldn't wait any longer.
Master Lin had no choice but to bite the bullet.
The blue-robed old man snorted, "Since that's the case, then bring it on!"
Master Lin's aura sank, and he prepared to step forward and fight the blue-robed old man fiercely.
But at this moment, everyone suddenly heard a rumbling sound, and the ground beneath their feet trembled constantly, as if there was an earthquake.
"What's going on? Is it an earthquake? Everyone, run!"
Huang Wen Lei shouted in fear and ran away.
Everyone's faces showed shock, and there was a sense of chaos in the crowd.
At this time, Master Lin focused his breath in his dantian and shouted, "Everyone, don't panic, this is not an earthquake!"
Sure enough, not long after Master Lin shouted, the rumbling stopped, and the earth-shaking feeling disappeared.
The crisis passed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as everyone was guessing what had happened, they suddenly heard a shout from the mountain.
"Senior brother, run! Something bad has happened!"
Several figures appeared on the top of the mountain, running wildly down the mountain.
These people were dressed similarly to the blue-robed old man, and it was obvious that they were together.
He Xin Yi was anxious. She looked at the blue-robed old man and scolded angrily, "So you were the one, old man! No wonder you didn't let us enter the mountain. So you had people go in earlier, and you didn't let us in because you wanted to take all the treasure for yourselves!"
At the same time, Zheng Ao Qiu, who had just been knocked unconscious, slowly woke up. The first thing he heard when he woke up was what He Xin Yi had just said.
His eyes lit up instantly, "Treasure? What treasure?"
At this time, the blue-robed old man didn't bother to pay attention to He Xin Yi at all. When he saw his junior brother running so disheveled, he knew that something was wrong.
He shouted, "Junior brother, what happened?"
The voice reached the top of the mountain, and the junior brother shouted loudly, "Senior brother, we disturbed that thing! It's chasing us!"
"What?"
The blue-robed old man was shocked and shouted, "This place can't be stayed any longer. Everyone, run! It will be too late if you don't run!"
The blue-robed old man was still very kind, and he said this to Master Lin and the others.
But He Xin Yi didn't believe it at all. She sneered, "Old man, are you still acting? What, do you think you can scare us away like this?"
