27: Chapter 27 Inviting Master Lin
You looked at the reclining Great Elder Liu Jinsong and slowly walked over.
When Great Elder Liu Jinsong saw you, his eyes lit up.
"Lin... Brother Lin, you are still alive?" Great Elder Liu Jinsong said, his throat moving a few times.
During the Pill King Conference, people told him you had been taken away by the Pill King. Initially, he thought you had been taken as an apprentice by the Pill King; after all, given your Aptitude, it wouldn't be strange for the Pill King to value you.
However, later on, rumors spread that you had offended the Pill King and were suppressed by him.
He didn't believe it at first, but with no news of you, he couldn't help but worry. Moreover, after the events of the Pill King Conference, the Iron Hand Sect had developed a certain connection with you.
"You... it's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine." Great Elder Liu Jinsong shed tears, though he didn't know if it was because the Iron Hand Sect was safe or because you were safe.
You looked at him, shook your head, and fed him a Medicinal Pill—it was the very one the Pill King had given you.
The moment the Medicinal Pill entered his mouth, Great Elder Liu Jinsong's eyes widened.
"Is this a Medicinal Pill from Danwang Valley?" Great Elder Liu Jinsong could feel his internal injuries healing instantly, and his Internal Energy was replenished all at once.
"Brother Lin, such a precious item..." Great Elder Liu Jinsong's eyes were somewhat red.
For a Transcendent Martial Artist, this kind of Medicinal Pill was equivalent to a second life. Now, it seemed that the rumors about you offending the Pill King Senior were all lies.
It seems a True Dragon has truly emerged in Fei City.
At this moment, Great Elder Liu Jinsong had made up his mind to follow you.
"Get some rest." You said to Great Elder Liu Jinsong.
Perhaps it was his spirit of refusing to yield even in the face of death on the stage earlier that had moved you.
In any case, this Medicinal Pill wasn't very important to you; at worst, you could just go to the Pill King and swindle a few more.
At this time, on the competition stage, the Sect Leader of the Iron Hand Sect went up.
His name was Sun Lie, a man in his fifties. His bronze-colored skin revealed the firmness of someone who had practiced fist techniques for years. With broad shoulders and a wide waist, his figure was tall and straight. Even standing on the stage, he carried an Aura of steady composure.
His opponent was the Sect Leader of the Black Stone Sect, an old man at the early Transcendent stage whose eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.
Unlike Great Elder Liu Jinsong, one look showed he had been tempered for many years.
The two didn't waste words and began fighting the moment they stepped onto the stage.
The competition stage emitted violent collisions.
It was like two large trucks colliding.
Finally, the Black Stone Sect leader wasn't paying attention and was knocked to the ground.
"I admit defeat." The Black Stone Sect leader stood up, brushed the dust off his body, and said to Sun Lie.
He knew he couldn't beat Sun Lie and there was no need to continue fighting. His Internal Energy was mostly exhausted anyway, and his purpose was to drain Sun Lie's stamina.
They were fighting a wheel battle, and he had already achieved his goal.
"I accept your concession." Sun Lie adjusted his breathing and cupped his hands at the old man.
The old man looked at Sun Lie's upright demeanor and couldn't help but snort coldly.
Sun Lie still had to face three other Transcendent Martial Artists.
He took a deep breath and shouted to the other three Transcendent Martial Artists from the Green Wood Sect and Lie Feng Tang: "Next!"
Regardless of what happened after today, the Iron Hand Sect's Aura could not be lost.
There was still one Transcendent Middle Stage Martial Artist from the Green Wood Sect, and one Transcendent Early Stage and one Transcendent Middle Stage Martial Artist from Lie Feng Tang. The next one to appear was... Sun Lie watched the old woman jump onto the stage in front of him; she appeared to be a Transcendent Early Stage Martial Artist from Lie Feng Tang.
They intended to let the Transcendent Early Stage ones exhaust his Internal Energy first, then let the other two Transcendent Middle Stage Martial Artists finish him off.
"Then, come on!" Sun Lie roared, his Aura soaring.
The two exchanged less than fifty blows before the old woman spat out a mouthful of blood.
"The Iron Palm of the Iron Hand Sect is indeed powerful." The old woman said, clutching her chest: "I admit defeat."
Having defeated two Transcendent Martial Artists in a row, no matter what, the Iron Hand Sect's side was also full of high spirits.
"Sect Leader is mighty."
"Go Sect Leader!"
"Go for it Sect Leader, beat them up."
...
Sun Lie turned his head to look at the Disciples of the Iron Hand Sect and made a gesture of victory.
But to be honest, Sun Lie's condition actually wasn't very good.
You saw that Sun Lie's breathing was already somewhat chaotic at this moment.
You stroked your chin, thinking that it should be your turn to act soon.
The moment the old woman went down, without waiting for Sun Lie to call for the next one.
The Sect Leader of the Green Wood Sect jumped onto the competition stage himself.
"We have a saying in the Dragon Kingdom: strike while the iron is hot." The Green Wood Sect Leader looked very young; he held a folding fan in his hand and looked like a playboy.
Great Elder Liu Jinsong looked at him and said to you: "Brother Lin, this Green Wood Sect is good at using poison attacks, and none of their Disciples are anything but treacherous and cunning. This Green Wood Sect Leader is even more insidious. He looks like he's only in his thirties, but he's actually over fifty. I've heard his face is the result of a skin-peeling technique, having replaced it with the skin of those young men."
"Is that so." You looked at the opponent. At least from the outside, the Green Wood Sect Leader looked like a sunny, cheerful big boy.
Sun Lie looked at him and sneered: "In my opinion, even if you win, it's called winning without honor."
"Is that so?" The Green Wood Sect Leader's mouth still held a smile: "If you want to blame someone, blame that Lin Heng for offending the Pill King!"
Sun Lie didn't say anything; he mobilized his Internal Energy and attacked the Green Wood Sect Leader.
Throughout the entire battle, the Green Wood Sect Leader kept that smile on his face, as if he only had that one expression.
You thought of the skin-peeling technique Great Elder Liu Jinsong mentioned and felt a sense of eeriness looking at the sunny, cheerful big boy in front of you.
On the arena, the Iron Hand Sect Leader and the Green Wood Sect Leader were locked in a difficult fight. However, Sun Lie had already fought two Transcendent experts from the start, and his Internal Energy had been consumed a lot.
So, gradually, it could be seen that Sun Lie had fallen into a passive position, and the Green Wood Sect Leader had gained the upper hand.
You felt that within twenty moves, the Iron Hand Sect Leader would be defeated.
However, you were calculating based on the competition; if Sun Lie were really fighting to the death, it would be hard to say.
The result was exactly as you expected.
After about a dozen moves, Sun Lie's movements became slower and slower. After dodging the Green Wood Sect Leader's folding fan with a sidestep, he didn't notice his lower stance.
Sun Lie was kicked flying to the ground.
Actually, Sun Lie's Internal Energy was almost exhausted; he was just hanging on by a breath, and at this moment, that breath was kicked away by the Green Wood Sect Leader.
You felt it was time for you to go on stage. You loosened your neck a few times, and your joints made cracking sounds.
"Ahhhhh." Sun Lie roared.
Not that you still had to fight, you thought, watching Sun Lie slowly get up.
Was it worth it?
Sun Lie bumped his fists together, gasping for air. At this moment, the whole person was like a crazed giant bear.
The Green Wood Sect Leader glanced at him, closed his folding fan, and bowed slightly.
His mouth still carried that eerie smile: "I admit defeat."
You looked at the Green Wood Sect Leader's smug look and couldn't help but whisper: "Insidious."
Watching the Green Wood Sect Leader jump off the competition stage, Sun Lie's last bit of Internal Energy was almost completely exhausted, and he collapsed onto the competition stage.
It looked like he had no strength left.
But on the opposite side, there was still a full-status Transcendent Middle Stage expert from Lie Feng Tang.
The Lie Feng Tang Leader went on stage.
He was an old man, though he was old, he had a burly figure, his back was straight as a pine, and his eyes were like torches. The moment you saw this old man, you thought of three words to describe him.
Combat satisfaction!
The old man looked at Sun Lie's dazed appearance and shook his head: "What a pity, junior. It looks like I won't be able to fight you."
"I don't want to bully you, you should admit defeat yourself."
Sun Lie looked at the old man and sneered: "You're just talking like a good person."
The old man shook his head: "It looks like you're going to be thrown down by me."
Sun Lie replied blandly: "I will never admit defeat."
"We admit defeat!" Great Elder Liu Jinsong said.
Sun Lie widened his eyes and looked back: "Great Elder Liu, why?"
At this moment, he was really confused and really didn't understand why Great Elder Liu would admit defeat.
To the point that he didn't even notice why Great Elder Liu's injuries had all healed so quickly.
"Hahaha." The old man laughed: "It looks like the people of your Sect have already made the decision for you."
The old man looked at a middle-aged man on the side: "Senior Li, the Iron Hand Sect has already admitted defeat, you can announce the result now."
You didn't know that Senior Li, but it looked like he was from the Dragon Group and should be here to maintain the order of this Sect competition.
But it doesn't matter, you were about to go on stage.
Senior Li looked at Sun Lie faintly, preparing to announce the result.
At this moment, a voice came.
"Who said our Iron Hand Sect lost?" Great Elder Liu Jinsong shouted.
At this moment, everyone was confused, even the Iron Hand Sect Leader Sun Lie didn't understand what Great Elder Liu Jinsong was going to do.
Only to see Great Elder Liu Jinsong cough a few times, and then shout loudly.
"I invite the Honorary Elder of the Iron Hand Sect, the top two of the Pill King Competition, Lin Heng, Great Master Lin!"
