Chapter 109: How Dare You!?

After the sudden ambush, the Wind Travel Pigeon rapidly flapped its right wing and was cooing as it fell toward the ground. When the Wind Travel Pigeon was falling, it turned back to look at Lin Yuan with a very anxious feeling.
When it was around three to four meters away from the ground, the Wind Travel Pigeon felt as though it had lost all energy. At the crucial moment, the Wind Travel Pigeon turned and wrapped its right wing around Lin Yuan to protect him. Its head crashed onto the ground as dirt flew up, resulting in instant death.
In fact, when the Wind Travel Pigeon turned to protect Lin Yuan in mid-air, it had already lost its life. When falling from such an alt.i.tude, its final form of defense was actually used to protect a complete stranger.
This was just a mission entrusted by the trainer to a fey and the professionalism of a Wind Travel Pigeon as a flying fey.
Since the Wind Travel Pigeon had protected him by using its body to relieve the impact, Lin Yuan didn’t suffer any severe injuries. However, the impact of the fall still made Lin Yuan uncomfortable.
Lin Yuan understood that someone targeted him. He wasn’t a person to form any feud with others, so the only person who would ambush him could only be Cheng Rui.
After emerging from the Wind Travel Pigeon’s right wing, Lin Yuan looked at the Wind Travel Pigeon, which lay on the ground—its eyes were going to be permanently closed. The blast injuries on the left side of the body and the impact from the fall made the Wind Travel Pigeon’s corpse look abnormally miserable.
At that moment, Lin Yuan heard an arrogant and vicious voice. “You didn’t expect this, right!? Since you kicked me, I shall take your life!”
Lin Yuan could see a dark-faced elder standing beside Cheng Rui. When looking at his facial features, Cheng Rui had a slight resemblance to the elder.
An insect-type creature, around the length of an arm, with multiple legs, was crawling on the elder’s shoulder. Evidently, this insect-type creature had shot out the earlier gray energy ray. This multi-legged insect creature was rather familiar to Lin Yuan, and it was rather apparent that it was the Spine Gu’s enlarged version.
However, as compared to the Spine Gu Cheng Rui had summoned during the contest, this Spine Gu had plenty of golden rings on its body. The golden rings gave the sinister Spine Gu a very bizarre appearance.
Lin Yuan didn’t hesitate and circulated his spiritual power to summon Red Thorn and Chimey. At the same time, Genius used Tool Transformation to transform into a pair of gla.s.ses for Lin Yuan to wear.
At that moment, Lin Yuan could hear the elder speaking to Cheng Rui. “You can’t even defeat an insect like him? His strongest fey is just Bronze, yet you actually needed to look for me? If you didn’t want to take revenge personally, a casual energy beam from the Gold Ring Spine Gu would have been able to blast this kid and that unlucky Wind Travel Pigeon into pieces.”
Cheng Rui summoned his fey, the Gold Spine Gu, which crawled out of Cheng Rui’s hukou acupoint. It was so painful that Cheng Rui ground his teeth. “Grandfather, had it not been someone protecting him, I would have finished him!”
Cheng Wu frowned and said in an impatient tone, “Then hurry up and make your move. This place might be the suburban area, but to make a move on a Cla.s.s 2 Creation Master, it will still cause an inevitable commotion.”
Every Creation Master was the Radiance Federation’s capital, and thus, killing a Creation Master was considered a serious matter in the Radiance Federation.
Cheng Rui smiled sinisterly at Lin Yuan and said, “It is not bad that your Creation Master talent is enough for you to be brought to the Radiant Moon Palace! Elder Du is also protective of you. However, your talent will be destroyed in just a moment. After you lose your arms and legs, let’s see what else you can be proud of!”
Lin Yuan unsealed the Spirit-Gather Goldfish’s exclusive skill, Spirit Qi Imprint. All of the spirit qi acc.u.mulated by his Bronze Spirit-Gather Goldfish suddenly burst out of the Spirit Qi Imprint on Lin Yuan’s back.
At the same time, Chimey quickly executed Turbulence and used Sound Thrust to attack Cheng Rui. Lin Yuan then poured all his spiritual power into Red Thorn, allowing its spiky vines to rapidly extend and wrap at Cheng Rui.
Lin Yuan had an immense amount of spirit qi, and it was enough for Red Thorn’s vines to instantly extend by 20 meters.
Just as Lin Yuan’s all-out attack was about to reach Cheng Rui, a cold snort resounded, and the Gold Ring Spine Gu on Cheng Wu’s shoulder let out a hissing roar.
A gray energy wave disintegrated all of Lin Yuan’s attacks and severely injured Red Thorn, Chimey, and Genius.
Genius was no longer able to maintain its Tool Transformation state and fell onto the ground beside Lin Yuan. He felt intense pain as there was a hot surge within his stomach, and he vomited fresh blood.
Lin Yuan had been aware that things weren’t going to be good for him, and there wasn’t any chance for resistance. Thus, he had executed an all-out attack on Cheng Rui. Unfortunately, he hadn’t expected for his all-out attack to be easily countered by the Gold Ring Spine Gu’s casual burst of energy.
Cheng Rui was drenched in a cold sweat. Lin Yuan’s sudden attack had been about to reach him and kill him. It made Cheng Rui shocked and afraid, but the resentment in his eyes was even more concentrated now.
Cheng Rui didn’t think that his carelessness had nearly allowed Lin Yuan’s attack to send him to his grave. The shock that Cheng Rui received was instantly converted into overwhelming hatred. The hatred dyed the resentment with colorful mania as Cheng Rui yelled, “If my Spine Gu doesn’t drill your spinal cord empty, I shall give up my family name, Cheng! You just die of a slow and agonizing death as the Spine Gu slowly chew on your spinal cord.”
Lin Yuan struggled to get up. The intense pain ravaging his entire body might just cause Lin Yuan to collapse on the ground again. Lin Yuan wiped off the blood on the corner of his mouth, but the movements aggravated his injuries and made him vomit another mouthful of blood again.
At the same time, the severely injured Chimey, Genius, and Red Thorn also stood up.
Cheng Rui and Cheng Wu adapted their attacking stances. Just as Cheng Rui was about to kick Lin Yuan, Red Thorn shot out a mouthful of corrosive fluid.
Cheng Rui was already prepared as the Spine Gu was brandished like a blade to block Red Thorn’s attack. It also sliced off several of Red Thorn’s vines.
But just as the Spine Gu was attacking at Red Thorn, Chimey let out a weak chirp, sending three Sound Thrusts at Cheng Rui at a close range.
It shocked Cheng Rui, but a forceful wind blocked Chimey’s Sound Thrust. Then, Lin Yuan, Chimey, Genius, and Red Thorn were sent flying back by a few meters again.
Lin Yuan wanted to struggle to stand again, but he couldn’t. Upon seeing Red Thorn, Genius, and Chimey collapsed on the ground, Lin Yuan circulated his leftover spiritual power to withdraw them into his spiritual spatial zone.
Lin Yuan looked at the proud afternoon sun in the sky and felt that it was much more glaring than usual. In this life and death situation, Lin Yuan suddenly felt that the wind by his ears was light and indifferent.
Cheng Wu frowned and looked at the incompetent Cheng Rui. “You nearly died in the hands of this insect twice. Do you not understand that a lion will use all its strength even when hunting a rabbit? I shall teach you another lesson on what is fast and ruthless.”
Just as Cheng Wu’s words faded, the Gold Ring Spine Gu rapidly shrunk down and flew toward Lin Yuan’s spine at the neck. The Gold Ring Spine Gu generated an air-piercing sound as it flew.
Right at that split moment, Lin Yuan suddenly felt that the Royal Capital’s sky had turned dark. A new moon was suspended in the sky, nearly covering the proud afternoon sun, as an enraged voice reverberated throughout the horizon.
“How dare you!?”
