Chapter 486: Did Not Gain the Slightest Advantage
If this had taken place in the past, both Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen would definitely have been beaten and if they were caught unaware and met such a strong opponent so suddenly. But right now, after seeking “friendly” guidance from Mo Kongyuan a few times, both Lings had already acc.u.mulated abundant battle experience. Besides tearing down courtyards, they also had a fair understanding of cultivation in the realm of True Essence and the methods to deal with it. A big thanks to Mo Kongyuan, but a moment of silence for his courtyard at the same time.
Both of them had their minds in sync and planned to fully retreat after attacking with one move. Actually, even before attacking with this single move, they had already gotten ready to retreat.
“Boom!” Suddenly, there was a deep pit where Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen had just stood. Dirt and stone chippings were dispersed in all directions.
The faces of Su Yanhua, Su Xiu’er and the rest of the Su family members changed abruptly. They only knew right then how strong this old man’s cultivation was. If it were not for Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen being here right now, they might not even have the chance to escape if it had only been them in the valley. They would have definitely ended up like those crushed stones and dirt.
Thus, from this, one could also imagine how strong exactly Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen’s cultivations were. Su Yanhua was extremely fearful as he thought back to the insults and mockery he had thrown at Ling Chuxi a few days ago up until a short while ago. If it was he who possessed her level of cultivation, he would have long since given a few hard slaps to whoever it was who dared to insult him as such. But Ling Chuxi had only treated the matter indifferently. Who knew how much stronger she truly was compared to him if even just mentioning her self-control alone was already so impressive? Su Yanhua felt even guiltier as he thought about this.
Yet, he did not know that the reason Ling Chuxi had not given him a hard slap to the face was not because of her good self-control. It was because she did not regard him worthy of even that in her eyes. The truth was that it was disdain. Her disdain towards him had reached the state of utter ignorance. It was also fortunate that Su Yanhua did not know of this. If he did, he would probably feel even guiltier. It was such desolation to be disdained by someone as such, to be ignored and for someone to be even too lazy to give you a deserving slap on the face.
Qiu Gaohe had initially thought that with his cultivation in the realm of True Essence, even if the full blow he struck did not cause Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen to die immediately on the spot, it should have caused them heavy injuries. But he did not think that the both of them would react so quickly. They struck out with just one move and then retreated immediately and did not let him gain the slightest advantage.
Qiu Gaohe felt even more dread towards Ling Chuxi in his heart. He quickly caught up to both her and Ling Yichen without waiting for either of them to stabilize themselves.
But before he could do anything, a shadow blocked him off suddenly and a palm was slowly pushed forward towards him. The vast and mighty Qi contained within that palm was like an exploding volcano. Qiu Gaohe trembled in his heart and did not bother about Ling Chuxi anymore. He ended up taking on the brunt of the attacking palm at full force.
Making a m.u.f.fled sound, Qiu Gaohe took few steps back continuously.
“Brother Qiu. Have you come to Rejuvenating Valley this time just to make life difficult for a few juniors?” asked Su Yizhi coolly as he stood before Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen with his hands behind his back.
“Brother Su. I only saw that the disciples under your sect did not know their manners and I merely wanted to act on your behalf to discipline them,” said Qiu Gaohe. There was somewhat dread in his heart toward Su Yizhi. He had not seen him for few years, and this old fart’s cultivation ability had actually advanced again.
“It will not be you who disciplines the disciples of my sect. If that is why you are here, then you may leave.” Su Yizhi gave out an eviction order without the slightest bit of courtesy. He had seen Qiu Gaohe striking out at Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen when he had just returned, and of course, he could guess the meaning behind his actions. He secretly scolded Qiu Gaohe and called him shameless in his heart. Qiu Gaohe had actually dared to use such despicable means after entering Rejuvenation Valley. If not for him rus.h.i.+ng back in time, fearfully Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen’s fortunes would have been fraught with grim possibilities.
But Su Yizhi did not know that Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen had an abundance in experience with regards to battling experts in the True Essence Stage. Even if they could not beat Qiu Gaohe, they would have ben able to retreat without any injuries without any problems.
“Since Brother Su wishes to discipline them yourself, then I will not be meddlesome,” said Qiu Gaohe. He knew that Su Yizhi’s return meant that he would not have the chance to harm Ling Chuxi anymore. He also did not wish for this matter to entangle him any further. It was just that he was secretly upset in his heart for having missed out on such a good opportunity to eliminate a threat.
