Chapter 266: Ling Yun is in Danger!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He Xingyan’s smile froze on his ordinary looking face before it twisted with fear!
At the same time, his left hand suddenly slashed his right shoulder with a polished dagger!
“Ugh!” He Xingyan groaned. A huge piece of flesh was sliced off cleanly, revealing the bone beneath! Blood started to splatter everywhere!
He Xingyan quickly s.h.i.+fted more than twenty meters from his original position and deftly sealed the acupuncture points on his right shoulder. It was to stop the bleeding and also to stop the spread of the lethal poison!
Those who were adept at using secret weapons were definitely good at Qinggong. Similarly, those who specialized in secret weapons were definitely experts in the use of poison!
He Xingyan was an expert in all three areas, yet he was being beaten at his own game by a golden silkworm with its own consciousness!
Xiao Jin very nearly overturned the situation in the battlefield with its golden thread. He Xingyan, the most skillful amongst the four masters had retreated, leaving Priestess Heartless, Priest Compa.s.sionless and Liu Deming in front of Ling Yun. They too became concerned for their safety upon seeing the horrifying sight. What would become of them if He Xingyan could be affected so badly?
“Ha, I am so popular!”
Ling Yun was elated about the sudden turn of events. He could not help but to laugh at himself as he saw how every one of them backed away, holding their breaths. He lifted his head and peered into the dusky night sky.
Once Xiao Jin was a.s.sured of its success, it zoomed vertically and hovered around twenty meters above the crowd below. With the rain pouring down on them in the dimly lit garden, visibility should have been impaired. Yet, Xiao Jin did not manage to escape Ling Yun’s sharp eyes.
A chubby blazing golden silkworm the size of an adult’s thumb was hovering in mid-air. It had a cute crown on its head, a pair of round eyes the size of rice grains, and translucent fleshy wings. It looked light and as fast as lighting.
Xiao Meimei and the rest had successfully escaped. Ling Yun had thought that Tang Meng’s father, Cao Shanshan, Xue Meining or even Miracle Doctor Xue would perhaps come to his aid. It was completely out of his expectation that a chubby golden silkworm would be the first to arrive!
Golden silkworm?! It has a crown and wings? It even has its own consciousness! Ling Yun wondered if he could resist this little guy’s poison.
This is a Superior golden silkworm which just underwent its first transformation. Whose could it be? Seeing that it attacked He Xingyan, it must belong to a friend!
Sensing that Ling Yun detected its presence, Xiao Jin could not help but feel smug about itself. It certainly displayed traits of human character.
Ling Yun laughed and raised his arm, shouting intimately, “Come and help me defeat these bad guys! I will give you something delicious in return!”
What could this delicious food be? It was probably spiritual energy. For the most poisonous golden silkworm with its own consciousness, the only thing it needed to further its transformation was the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy!
Xiao Jin was very vigilant. It continued hovering around the same spot without responding to Ling Yun’s request.
“Priestess Heartless, please help to cover me. I need to force the poison out of my body!”
Ling Yun was safe temporarily. However, the same could not be said for He Xingyan. The poison from a superior golden silkworm could not be resolved just by cutting away a piece of flesh.
He Xingyan and Priestess Heartless had also noticed the golden silkworm. Now that they were aware of its potency, they did not dare provoke it.
Priest Compa.s.sionless and Liu Deming could not see Xiao Jin since they were at a lower realm level. They were terror-stricken when they saw He Xingyan cutting off his own fles.h.!.+
That huge chunk of meat, including the fresh blood, had become a ghastly gold color at this point!
“This seems to be… the most poisonous golden silkworm! The Superior golden silkworm! Someone has managed to develop one after sixty years!” Priest Compa.s.sionless stuttered with apprehension.
Priestess Heartless came to He Xingyan’s side silently, protecting him while he forced the poison out.
Liu Deming and Priest Compa.s.sionless joined suit as they formed a fortress around him, looking unusually dignified.
He Xingyan turned towards his shoulder. He frowned. The flesh around his wound had slowly turned pale gold. He used the dagger to slice off another piece of flesh once again and flung it away.
Blood splattered out once more, but He Xingyan could not feel any pain. His whole right arm had been numbed by the poison.
He Xingyan silently looked upon Ling Yun in the distance and then glanced at Xiao Jin above him. He quietly took a delicate communicator and gently pressed a certain b.u.t.ton.
Ling Yun would have easily known that this communicator was the same one that Deepa had had except that it was more compact. His view, however, was blocked.
He Xingyan quickly put away the communicator, sat cross-legged on the floor and started to heal himself.
Since the three other masters had their back towards He Xingyan, they naturally did not see He Xingyan using the communicator.
He Xingyan had three masters protecting him while he healed. On the other side, even though Xiao Jin was helping Ling Yun, he had since depleted his spiritual energy. They were at a standstill in the rain.
Ling Yun was alternating his hand between cajoling Xiao Jin down and slapping Sun Xing. Ling Yun asked him repeatedly, “Say, who does Zhuang Meifeng belong to?”
“You, of course she belongs to you!” That was a stupid and irritating question, but since his life was in the hands of Ling Yun, Sun Xing had to flatter Ling Yun.
Ling Yun continued harping on it as he gave Sun Xing a few more slaps until he bled out from the sides of his mouth. Grinning, he asked, “So who was the one who punched above his weight?”
Sun Xin admitted immediately, “It’s me. I am the toad who punched above my own weight!”
“Great. Now you will curse at the monk and the female priest. Say that they are committing adultery as loud as you can!”
Ling Yun smirked. He deliberately raised his voice slightly to the level where he could be overheard by Priest Compa.s.sionless and Priestess Heartless.
It was a smart move. Priest Compa.s.sionless was infuriated. He slammed his staff continuously onto the lawns of the Zhuang Family. A well could be installed there at any time now.
Priestess Heartless, on the other hand, was blus.h.i.+ng. Her body was shaking profusely and she was gnas.h.i.+ng her teeth. She turned her head away to cool down while waiting patiently for He Xingyan to heal.
Did Sun Xing dare curse at his own protectors? Of course not. He gave a helpless smile as he trailed off, “Erm…”
Ling Yun continued to provoke him. “Think about it. We were fine. I would have let you go once I escaped. However, they came after me without caring a hoot about you. Aren’t they pus.h.i.+ng you towards death?”
“Why are you finding difficulty swearing at them? The pair of adulterers are a perfect match anyway! Ha!”
Ling Yun became impatient since Sun Xing was still hesitating like a sissy. He became serious and said in a cold voice, “Are you going to do it? If you won’t, I will carve your tongue out and create a huge ball of fire to burn off your pen*s!”
That did the job. Sun Xing p.i.s.sed again in his pants and yelled immediately at the top of his lungs, “Priest Compa.s.sionless the priest and Priestess Heartless the monk are a pair of adulterers! They have carnal relations!”
“Gah…”
Sun Xing’s voice broke the silence of the night, spreading the word far and wide. Almost everyone around heard it.
Niu Fenjiao had just managed to get back up onto her feet. She was stunned. Did she hear wrongly? Or did her son just go mad?!
Sun Xing became a dead man the moment those words left his mouth! Priestess Heartless and Priest Compa.s.sionless would not spare his life now even if Ling Yun were to release him!
Pa! Pa! Ling Yun gave Sun Xing another few slaps and chuckled. “F*ck you! You got their designations wrong!”
It took Sun Xing some time to stop his head from spinning before shouting again desperately.
—————————————————
It was the Qingming Festival and the rain raged on, engulfing all of Qingshui City. But other than the sound of the torrential rain, the night was quiet.
However, things weren’t as they seemed. Something was brewing in Qingshui City!
Xiao Meimei was at the wheel in the Hummer driving Zhuang Meifeng and the rest. She overtook cars at two hundred miles an hour and ignored the red light signals as she sped away dangerously to the east!
She had to bring the three people rescued by Ling Yun to a safe place before rejoining Ling Yun in his battle!
She was determined to fight to her last breath as long as she was fighting with and for Ling Yun!
The rest were in a state of confusion.
Zhuang Meifeng thought sweetly about how Ling Yun had descended from the heavens like an angel delivering salvation at her time of need. However, a sense of dread tugged at her at the same time. She was worried that Ling Yun would not be able to escape.
“If you survive, I will live with you. If you die, I will accompany you in death. I will be with you no matter what!”
A sense of calm fort.i.tude appeared on Zhuang Meifeng’s beautiful face as she came to her conclusion!
Tie Xiaohu’s eyes were red. His fingers dug deeply into his flesh, but he didn’t seem to feel it!
Ling Yun was fighting the four masters alone. He knew just by looking at the agility of the female priest that he was no match for her, let alone the other three masters! Ling Yun had even sustained an injury in a desperate attempt to save them! What a burden he was!
How was Ling Yun going to escape with that injury against such highly skilled opponents?
Ling Yun had treated Tie Xiaohu’s ribs personally, brought him to see the waterspout on Dragon Mountain, taught him the Stellar Condensation Technique, brought him to Qingyun Productions to settle the debt…
The surprise and joy of making the talisman charms, the happiness he felt when Ling Yun gave him two million dollars, and fighting to the death to keep them safe. This deep friends.h.i.+p…
Every little scene came to Tie Xiaohu like a film playing in his mind. Tears welled up in his eyes. He wasn’t able to say a word!
He was too lacking in power!
The one who knew Ling Yun best was still Tang Meng. He took out his iPhone and started to send a ma.s.sive number of messages on WeChat once he was in the car.
He was not going to wait until Ling Yun was captured before asking Cao Shanshan and Xue Meining for help.
He sent the same message to them, first to Cao Shanshan.
“I am Tang Meng. Don’t ask anything. This is not a joke. Ling Yun is in danger. Please rush to Zhuang Meina’s house at the western suburbs as soon as you can!”
Tang Meng then sent the same message to Xue Meining!
He gave his dad Tang Tianhao a call once he was done sending the messages.
“Dad, my big brother Ling Yun has gotten into trouble. Please bring as many people as you can to Zhuang Tiande’s villa in the western suburbs. You have to bring guns with you!”
A stone that caused a thousand ripples!
It was nearly eleven in the evening. All three of them had the same reaction after receiving the notifications — surprise, followed by anger!
Cao Shanshan took the car keys and rushed out of her bedroom without changing her clothes. She flew down the stairs, ignoring her nagging caretaker, and went straight into the Lamborghini that she hardly drove. She started the car with a roar and sped out of the villa straight for the western suburbs!
Xue Meining was even more anxious. She hurried out of her bedroom in her pajamas and bawled at Xue Zhengqi, the miracle doctor, “Grandpa, something happened to Ling Yun at Zhuang Tiande’s villa in the western suburbs. I am heading there first. Come quickly as well!”
She ran out into the rain and drove the Ferrari off in her nightgown!
At first, Xue Miracle Doctor felt odd that his precious granddaughter was so agitated. However, he quickly realized the seriousness of the matter when Xue Meining zoomed off.
“Didn’t Ning Er say that Ling Yun would come here tomorrow? What did he get himself into? This cannot do…”
Xue Miracle Doctor picked up his phone and gave the Provincial Party Secretary Li Yifeng a call immediately!”
“Secretary Li, I need your help…”
Xiao Meimei brought the gang to the rented apartment quickly.
“Alright, you should be safe here for the time being. I will go in and grab something. Take care and protect yourselves!”
Xiao Meimei braked abruptly and jumped out of the car. She headed into the bedroom to retrieve the gun!
The nine-tailed celestial fox Little White was sleeping on the sofa when Xiao Meimei came rus.h.i.+ng in. Little White opened her eyes.
Xiao Meimei rushed out after taking her gun without so much as a glance at Little White. She whispered with tears in her eyes, “Ling Yun, I will save you at any cost!”
Little White jumped up from the sofa immediately upon hearing that. Her eyes widened in fury as she blocked Xiao Meimei with her snow-white body!
