156: Chapter 156 Chen Yumu's Strength
"Senior Brother Lin, you don't need to care, it's Sima Xuan and them who are too detestable..."
"That's right, we found that first..."
"Yes, what belongs to us must be taken back..."
Just as Lin Ruiyang was filled with righteous indignation, the Disciples of Lingjian Mountain instantly realized and stepped forward to express their loyalty.
"Good!"
Lin Ruiyang's eyes lit up. When these people lied, their faces didn't turn red, their hearts didn't pound, and they spoke as if it were true.
However, as long as they can firmly support him, even if it's false, it will become true eventually.
If only Sima Xuan had found the spiritual peak, Lin Ruiyang wouldn't need any excuse; he would just snatch it directly.
The crucial point was the Disciples of Piao Miao Sect. If there wasn't a sufficient reason, and they reported him to Li Yiran, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
"Cough, cough! Miss Chen, since the Disciples of Piao Miao Sect are in grave danger, we are both Upright Path sects. Even if we have to go through fire and water, or be crushed to pieces, we must rescue our Fellow Daoists!"
"Although we discovered the spiritual bees first, if it weren't for your Fellow Daoists from Piao Miao Sect stopping Sima Xuan, I'm afraid the Lingfeng Pulp would have already been stolen by him!"
"Here, I personally sincerely thank you!"
Lin Ruiyang was full of righteous spirit. As he spoke, he bowed deeply to Chen Yumu. Then, he and the Disciples of Lingjian Mountain simultaneously exerted force under their feet, transforming into several streaks of light, and rushed towards the direction Chen Yumu pointed out.
Chen Yumu was stunned, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly. She thought Lin Ruiyang had finally come to his senses and understood how to take some responsibility for her Saintess.
As for whether these people would fight for the Lingfeng Pulp, in Chen Yumu's opinion, they were the ones who found it first. If they had the ability to take it back from Sima Xuan, she had nothing to say.
How could Chen Yumu know that the bow Lin Ruiyang gave her was to thank her for providing such valuable information?
Seeing Lin Ruiyang and the others rushing away, Chen Yumu no longer lingered. She immediately leaped up and followed closely behind the crowd.
What she didn't expect was that Lin Ruiyang and these Disciples of Lingjian Mountain seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. Their speed was so fast that even she, a strong practitioner in the Dongxu Realm fifth level, found it extremely difficult to keep up.
Moreover, she could tell that Lin Ruiyang was flying so fast entirely based on his own strength, without any magical artifact assistance.
Indeed, someone who could become her Saintess's fiancé was definitely not an ordinary person.
In less than twenty breaths, the group had flown over a dozen tall mountains and arrived in a cool and dense valley.
Lin Ruiyang saw at a glance that this lush place was most suitable for the growth of spiritual bees. It seemed Chen Yumu had not deceived them.
In the valley, fierce sounds of combat occasionally echoed. Divine light swirled, strong winds howled, and birds and beasts fled in panic.
Not long after, they saw dozens of people fiercely fighting in the forest. Among them, two figures were extremely striking.
One of them was a muscular young man, who was an old rival of Lin Ruiyang. That was the Dao Child of Taiyan Academy, also known as the second strongest among the younger generation in the Xuanhuang World, Sima Xuan.
At this moment, although he had a few injuries on his body, they were not serious. He was staring at the opposite side with a look of mockery. That was a young woman with a graceful figure, wearing a white robe.
At this moment, Sima Xuan held a long spear condensed from fire element spiritual energy. Sparks were faintly flickering in his eyes. With a sweep of the spear, dust billowed, sand and stones flew, and the trees within a hundred zhang radius were instantly crushed into powder by this violent force, which was extremely terrifying.
As for the white-robed woman opposite him, her robe hem floated without wind, and dozens of bloodstains on her body were very conspicuous.
She held a three-foot jade sword in her hand. As the sword edge moved, wind blades crisscrossed, and her entire body was covered by sword energy, instantly dissolving Sima Xuan's attack.
As the two exchanged blows, the forces of wind and fire collided, constantly shattering the surrounding space and leaving behind spatial black holes that had no time to heal.
Endless fierce winds surged wildly from the black holes, raging throughout the entire forest. Swathes of trees were mercilessly torn apart, like the end of the world.
However, judging from the Aura of both sides, Sima Xuan was clearly slightly stronger.
"What a rare good show! It seems the Lingfeng Pulp hasn't been taken yet!"
Lin Ruiyang led the group to lie in wait behind a large rock, watching the people fighting fiercely in front, and couldn't help but exclaim.
In the Xuanhuang World, there were as many strong practitioners in the Dongxu Realm as there were oxen, but there were not many people with such powerful combat strength as the two in front of them. The opportunity to see them fight was even rarer.
"Why aren't you going up yet? Hurry up and help! Have you changed your mind again?"
"I knew it, none of you men are reliable!"
At this moment, Chen Yumu also arrived. Seeing her Senior Sister gradually falling into a disadvantage, she began to feel a little anxious in her heart, so she urged Lin Ruiyang to step forward and help.
Hearing Chen Yumu's words, the male Disciples of Lingjian Mountain all cast strange glances, and the scene fell into an awkward silence for a moment. Lin Ruiyang couldn't help but roll his eyes. Could she not condemn everyone with one stroke?
"Cough, cough! Miss Chen, can you be reasonable? I'm not standing by and watching; I'm observing the situation and looking for a perfect opportunity. Only then will I have a chance to successfully repel Sima Xuan!"
Lin Ruiyang coughed twice to ease the atmosphere, then put on a profound look and said meaningfully.
In fact, Lin Ruiyang didn't want to act so quickly. After all, he was facing the person known as the second strongest among the younger generation in the Xuanhuang World.
Of course, if he hadn't consumed sixty percent of his true energy to awaken the rune, dealing with a single Sima Xuan would not have been a problem at all. But now, he still had to be cautious.
Furthermore, after defeating Sima Xuan, who could guarantee that these people from Piao Miao Sect wouldn't attack them over the ownership of the Lingfeng Pulp?
Although these Disciples of Piao Miao Sect were fellow Disciples with Li Yiran, they were not her after all. It was already good that Lin Ruiyang wasn't kicking them when they were down at this moment.
"What you said also makes sense. Then you look for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and I'll go up and help first!"
Hearing Lin Ruiyang's words, Chen Yumu paused, then nodded in satisfaction. With one step, she instantly leaped out from behind the large rock, and her Aura erupted with a roar.
In an instant, endless sword energy surged out from Chen Yumu's body. Wherever it passed, grass and trees were cut into pieces.
At this moment, Chen Yumu held a sharp sword condensed from spiritual energy, and like a ghost, she charged towards the Disciples of Taiyan Academy.
"Puff..."
Instantly, a cold light flashed, blood splattered, and five heads flew into the sky. The blood from their necks spurted out a zhang away.
The next moment, a pure white lotus flower appeared in Chen Yumu's eyes.
"Buzz..."
Space vibrated, Aura soared to the sky, and terrifying pressure swept in all directions. At this moment, Chen Yumu was like a goddess of war from the Nine Heavens.
The sharp sword in her hand, which was originally only three feet long, instantly surged to over five zhang, like a heavenly sword descending, and slashed down at the Disciples of Taiyan Academy opposite her.
"Boom..."
Three Disciples of Taiyan Academy in the Dongxu Realm eighth level were instantly sent flying hundreds of zhang like rolling logs, only stopping when they were far away.
The people around were startled by Chen Yumu's attack. When they saw the cultivation level of the three people she sent flying, they were even more dumbfounded.
Chen Yumu's cultivation was only in the Dongxu Realm fifth level, three levels lower than these three Disciples of Taiyan Academy. Yet, she was able to send them flying with one sword strike, which was too unbelievable.
"Azure Lotus Sword Body, second only to Sister Yanran's Chaos Sword Body! And this cultivation method is extremely powerful. What is her background? With such talent, she has the strength to contend for the position of Saintess, so why is she willing to be a follower?"
The combat strength that Chen Yumu suddenly displayed moved even Lin Ruiyang, and at the same time, his heart was full of doubts.
