Lin Yanxing felt a tight grab from Su Li on his right hand which made a loud noise. His hand was about to be broken in an instant. What’s even worse, the other hand of Su Li was going to hit him rapidly, and Lin Yanxing suffocated with Su Li’s strike!
How could it be?
The bones of his whole body were refined by the treasure, and were harder than swords. But how could they be like pudding in her hands?!
He was unable to compete with her!
He could not defeat her!
Lin Yanxing was extremely scared. At this bad moment, he cut off the right hand forcibly with his left hand without hesitation. Once he escaped from the control, he backed off immediately, and was about to flee away as a blood shadow.
Meanwhile, a roar of deep hatred resounded through the mountain!
“No matter who you are, I will avenge my broken arm! When I practiced well, the first thing is to kill you!”
Su Li teased with her eyes crinkled, “You want go?”
She stepped out with one step. Ripples of the soil under her feet were formed. Then, she disappeared where she was and reappeared at the top of the mountain. She was terribly faster than Lin Yanxing.
“Ouch!”
A scream mixed with great panic came from a distance.
“Who are you? It’s none of your business!”
Hearing the scream, Ling Li came to his sense, taking a deep breath and swallowing the blood in his throat.
It all happened in a flash. He was at a critical moment just now, but now with the arrival of Li, he survived. The situation was reversed.
“Ling Li, are you alright?”
Ling Qinglan walked slowly towards Ling Li with his seriously injured body. Ling Li shook his head, “I’m still alive…”
Ling Qinglan smiled bitterly and said, “We almost die. If we died here, the Ling Family was finished.”
Ling Li was silent and could not help being scared. Those elders of the Yinmo Cult were not good people, now they just wanted to use him to revive the Yinmo Cult. If he really died, they would never care about the Ling Family.
“Fortunately, Mr. Li has come.”
Ling Qinglan breathed with a relief, taking a pill and starting healing himself. He said, “Mr. Li has practiced secretly for half a year, and all people of the Linli Building disappeared. It seemed that they practiced with him. I don’t expect he would come to save us in time. It is like a miracle.”
Ling Li kept silent, and nodded slowly after a while. He had learned that Mr. Li’s cultivation had surpassed him today, and he had reached the longevity realm.
Although he did not think that he was the most talented man in the world, he felt embarrassed to be surpassed by those who he took as a rival in relationship before.
When they were talking, Su Li brought the dying Lin Yanxing back. Her white clothes remained spotless, which implied that the fight was not hard.
But, at the moment, under the bamboo hat, Su Li was a little uneasy. Lin Yanxing did not practice the Blood-evil Skill, but because…
“Mr. Li, are you alright?”
Ling Qinglan’s words interrupted her recalling, Su Li came to herself and nodded immediately, “I’m alright. I have dispelled his cultivation. There is no threat, so, Lord Ling can close the case.”
“That’s so wonderful! Thank you for saving us, otherwise the consequences could not be imagined!”
Ling Qinglan could not help smiling. Dongfang Xiao had put too much pressure on him during this half month.
Hearing Ling Qinglan’s words, though Ling Li was not pleased, he knew that Mr. Li saved him this time. So, he immediately made a fist and palm salute and said, “Thank you very much.”
Su Li nodded slightly and accepted Ling Li’s gratitude, but soon the sound of teasing was ringing around Ling Li.
“I didn’t expect that Hierarch Ling would thank me, and I’m flattered for your gratitude.”
Ling Li turned dark immediately, and regardless of the injury, he said, “The relationship between you and me is not good, but it’s not hostile. Since you can save me, all that in the past will be eliminated naturally…”
“Aha, eliminated. Well, what if I say the message came from Su Li?”
Su Li suddenly said, but Ling Li only smiled and confidently retorted, “I have been with Li so close these days that I know everything about her. She has stopped contacting you, and how can she send a message to you in time.”
Su Li looked at Ling Li who was pretending to be calm. She laughed secretly that in fact, Ling Li didn’t get involved in her business, but he said he had done so. He was really naive and lovely.
Thinking of this, Su Li no longer teased him, and smiled,
“I didn’t expect that Hierarch Ling and your wife love each other so much. The news… did not come from Su Li, and the Linli Building has its own channel. I came to save you for two reasons. First, I save you to prevent Su Li from grieving. Second, I can save you. A gentleman should do what he can do. I hope you could understand that.”
“I do. How could I expect more?”
Ling Qinglan, standing on the side, looked at the two men who were communicating with each other. If he didn’t know that they were transmitting the sound in silence, he would think that the two men were gay.
After the fight, it was late. Ling Qinglan recovered a lot, so, he immediately ordered others to clear up the battlefield and prepare to go down the mountain.
Ling Li was seriously injured. But after a moment’s healing with his cultivation in the inborn realm, he had been alright and could walk freely. He felt strange to find Mr. Li was standing beside him like a guard…
He always had a question. Why would Mr. Li save the Ling Family? This time was because of Su Li, but the assassination in the Hunting Ground last time showed that they were not close at all.
Just as Ling was organizing the words and wanted to ask, Su Li asked first, “I think there is one step away for Hierarch Ling to reach the longevity realm. Here is an elixir, and it may help you.”
Su Li turned her hand, and a crystal elixir like jade appeared in her hand. It smelled well like precious medicine.
“This was originally prepared for myself. Now I have made a breakthrough. The elixir is useless. It will help you succeed.”
Ling Li was slightly shocked with the words. Just by smelling the fragrance, he knew that the elixir was precious. If he took it, he would definitely reach the longevity realm in half a month.
But, the relationship between Mr. Li and him couldn’t afford such a treasure!
“Mr. Li, excuse me, it’s just… why not give it to people in the Linli Building who have more potentials?”
Ling Li doubted, and Su Li realized suddenly and sighed. She was too impatient. But… she didn’t have much time. She knew that from the fight with Lin Yanxing.
“The elixir is so precious, but if I can get the first one, I also can get the second one naturally. And now there is no one in the young generation who was getting stuck in the inborn realm. If I can use this to exchange your friendship, why won’t I? Maybe the Linli Building will need your help later.
Su Li’s reason was a little far-fetched, but Ling Li didn’t think about it for a long time. He took the elixir with a smile and said, “Mr. Li, you really like to play jokes. You run the Linli Building well, and there is no need for me to help, right? But, if one day the Linli Building is in danger, I must give you a hand!”
He had been aware of the questionable point in Mr. Li words, but he was not allowed to think more about it. The pressure of all parties almost made him overwhelmed. He was more eager to reach the longevity realm than anyone else!
Only by breaking through could he really control the power of the Yinmo Cult and have the ability to compete with the royal family!
On the same day, the news that the murder had been arrested spread over Yunjing City, but it had little business with Su Li. She didn’t hesitate to use her bodily movement of practicing martial arts to return to Ling’s Mansion. And she got the news that Ling Qinglan and Ling Li went to the Imperial Palace to get a reward. Fortunately, it was worth getting back soon. When Qiu Meng came to tell her the good news that Ling Li had solved the case, she didn’t make a slip.
“Dongfang Xiao should not know Ling Li’s real identity. It could be threatening but not dangerous to go to the Imperial Palace. But I cannot take it easy.”
Su Li murmured with her eyes twinkling. If they were really exposed, no matter what was hidden in the Imperial Palace, she must help.
Hate?
She had no hatred in her mind, because Su Yue was still alive in the outside world. It didn’t matter that whether she could remember her or not.
When she was waiting for Ling Li, Su Li didn’t meditate, and she couldn’t help thinking of the strange things happened when she fought with Lin Yanxing.
Under the pressure of her strength, though Lin Yanxing’s skill was strange, he couldn’t escape. She almost killed him with one stroke, but Lin Yanxing was like an immortal cockroach. No matter how many injuries he got, he could recover instantly. Even the hand he cut off grew again.
She had to hit him again and again. As he recovered himself for more times, Lin Yanxing became more and more dazed, and finally he pulled out something from his heart!
It was a crystal blood bead!
The blood bead left his body and rushed into Su Li’s body with a flash of extreme red light. It was so fast that she couldn’t think and stop it. Almost in an instant, a desire for blood emerged from the bottom of her heart, as if she was falling into the boundless sea of blood!
She immediately tried to force the blood bead out of her body, but as soon as she thought about it, the feeling of the blood bead completely disappeared with the desire for blood, as if it was suppressed by something.
Lin Yanxing saw that, and he immediately became crazier. He cried out in an inarticulate way and repeated many times, then Su Li could make it clear.
“No way, I am his successor! How could it choose you?”
“It’s impossible!!”
“Old guy, you lied to me!!!”
Sitting in the room, Su Li touched her heart. Her eyes were dim. Was the old man that Lin Yanxing said the old beggar?
Almost one day passed. The blood bead had no reaction. Was it related to the black ring?
Or was there something strange in her body that she didn’t notice?
“Well, it’s useless to think too much about it.”
She rubbed her glabella. She couldn’t stand any trouble. Now, she had to put all her mind on the plan. She only hoped that these messy things in her body wouldn’t come out to make trouble.
