49: Chapter 49 One second she's throwing a powerful punch, the next she's whimpering in her disciple's arms?

"You're courting death!"

Yu Linglong raised her hand and made a grasping motion toward the Void Realm.

Bang!

That Crimson Long Whip, condensed from the spiritual energy of the Middle Stage Golden Core...

...was forcefully crushed by a terrifying power less than three feet from Cao Kun's nose!

The arrogance on Ye Mei's face froze.

Her proud ultimate move was crushed by Yu Linglong with a single hand.

This was not just an absolute suppression of Realm, but a literal chasm of strength!

Yu Linglong gave Ye Mei no chance to catch her breath.

Purple light swirled around her body.

In the next second, her curvaceous body appeared in front of Ye Mei.

"You—"

Ye Mei was pale with fright, instinctively trying to retreat and mobilize her spiritual energy for defense.

"Too late!"

Yu Linglong extended her fair and slender palm, spreading her five fingers.

She grabbed the elaborate and luxurious Red-Gold Hair Bun on Ye Mei's head.

And pulled down hard.

"Ah!"

Ye Mei felt a sharp pain in her scalp, her neck forced back, and her body stumbled forward involuntarily.

Standing behind and watching the show, Cao Kun raised an eyebrow, unable to help but click his tongue in admiration.

This cheap Revered Master's "crazy beauty" vibe when fighting...

...combined with her top-tier curvaceous figure, really did have a unique charm.

Yu Linglong remained expressionless as she raised her other hand.

Aiming at Ye Mei's well-maintained face.

She swung her arm in a full arc.

Slap!

An extremely loud slap echoed like a thunderclap outside the empty Main Hall.

The flesh on half of Ye Mei's face instantly distorted, and blood sprayed directly from the corner of her mouth.

Slap!

Yu Linglong delivered another backhanded slap.

Slap, slap, slap, slap, slap!

She didn't use any Spells at all; it was a pure outpouring of physical strength.

Only the crisp and dense sound of slapping remained outside the hall.

"How dare you run wild on my Lianxiang Peak!"

"How dare you insult... How dare you be disrespectful to me!" Yu Linglong shouted sharply while slapping wildly.

She had originally wanted to say, "How dare you insult my Revered Master."

But due to potential eavesdroppers around, she forced herself to swallow those words.

Ye Mei was slapped dizzy, her eardrums buzzing.

The jeweled hairpins on her head shattered on the ground, and her golden hair was a mess.

Several molars mixed with blood flew out of her mouth, bouncing off the white jade steps.

Beside them, Ye Ting finally snapped out of his shock.

"You poisonous woman! Let go of my sister!"

Ye Ting's eyes were bloodshot as he forcibly suppressed the unhealed injuries in his body.

A ball of eerie green poisonous fire condensed in his palm, striking directly at Yu Linglong's back.

Yu Linglong didn't even turn her head.

Grabbing Ye Mei's hair, she kicked back with her right leg.

Her purple skirt fluttered, revealing a section of dazzlingly white, slender jade leg.

Bang!

The heel of her Flowing Cloud Boots, carrying a piercing sonic boom, kicked precisely in the center of Ye Ting's chest.

Crack!

The sound of a shattering sternum was clearly audible.

The poisonous fire in Ye Ting's palm also instantly dissipated.

He was sent flying dozens of feet away, crashing heavily into a White Marble pillar at the edge of the square.

He coughed up several mouthfuls of blood mixed with organ fragments, his eyes rolled back, and he completely fainted.

Only then did Yu Linglong disdainfully let go of Ye Mei's hair.

Having lost her support, Ye Mei's legs went weak, and she collapsed directly onto the steps.

Yu Linglong raised her foot, her purple Flowing Cloud Boots stepping mercilessly on Ye Mei's swollen face.

Ye Mei's cheek was squeezed out of shape, a sense of humiliation rushing to her head.

"Mmph... mmph..."

She desperately tried to mobilize the spiritual energy in her body to break free.

"Behave yourself!"

Yu Linglong snorted coldly, releasing the pressure of her Golden Core Late Stage Peak without reservation.

Boom!

Ye Mei's vision went black, she spat out another mouthful of blood, and was suppressed to the point of being unable to move.

Yu Linglong looked down at her from above, her eyes filled with killing intent.

Just then, the words Cao Kun had once said to her flashed through her mind.

"You have to squeeze out all his value. Don't let resources that come to your door go to waste."

Yu Linglong's foot paused.

That's right.

She was so focused on venting her anger that she almost forgot the main business.

She muttered to herself:

That stupid girl Qingyue, who hasn't even held a man's hand, definitely doesn't know how to help the Revered Master scavenge wealth.

This was her, Yu Linglong's, advantage!

She could not only fight but also help the Revered Master amass wealth!

Thinking of this, Yu Linglong bent down and grabbed Ye Mei's struggling right hand.

"You... what are you going to do..." Ye Mei spoke out in terror, her voice muffled.

Yu Linglong ignored her and roughly pulled off the Top-Grade Storage Ring set with a pigeon-blood ruby from Ye Mei's middle finger.

Then, she straightened up and made a grasping motion through the air.

Whoosh!

From the distance, where Ye Ting lay unconscious under the stone pillar, the bronze-colored Storage Ring also flew off his hand and landed in Yu Linglong's palm.

Having obtained the two Storage Rings, Yu Linglong didn't even look at Ye Mei on the ground and simply moved her foot away.

She turned around to face Cao Kun.

Her previous dominance and ruthlessness were completely retracted.

Replacing it was a charming and flattering expression as she trotted over to Cao Kun.

She handed over the two shimmering Storage Rings.

"Revered Master," Yu Linglong's lips moved slightly as she sent a secret transmission, "Linglong hasn't forgotten your teachings. These spoils of war are all yours."

Seeing Yu Linglong's tail-wagging, credit-seeking appearance, Cao Kun was greatly pleased.

This woman was settling into her role faster and faster.

He unceremoniously reached out and took the two Storage Rings into his sleeve.

Then, Cao Kun raised his right hand, pinching Yu Linglong's smooth and delicate chin, his tone casual.

"Well done, Revered Master. You're much more sensible than last time."

Receiving Cao Kun's personal praise...

...two intoxicating blushes appeared on Yu Linglong's fair cheeks.

Without any hesitation in front of outsiders, she leaned her cheek against Cao Kun's palm and rubbed against it affectionately.

This scene was witnessed in its entirety by Ye Mei, who had just struggled to lift her head from the ground.

With half her face swollen, she lay on the cold stone floor, staring intently at the pair on the steps.

Her mind went blank.

Was that Yu Linglong?

That Peak Revered Master of the Hehuan Sect, known for her decisiveness and eccentricity, and famous throughout the entire Qingzhou cultivation world for her ruthlessness?

She was actually currying favor and seeking affection from a Disciple?

The infatuation and flattery in those eyes were even more humble than the lowest Cauldron of the Hehuan Sect!

What on earth was going on?

Ye Mei felt a surge of blood and Qi in her chest.

The physical pain was far less intense than the extreme mental dissonance.

She couldn't understand it, and even less could she accept it.

Her worldview completely collapsed at this moment.

"Bi... bitch..."

Ye Mei struggled, swaying as she climbed up from the ground.

At this moment, she no longer had the arrogant look she had when she arrived.

That originally luxurious red-gold magical robe was not only covered in bloodstains...

...but also had several large holes torn in it, revealing the bruised skin underneath.

She knew she had kicked a steel plate today.

Yu Linglong was a complete lunatic.

That Disciple named Cao Kun was even more terrifyingly sinister.

If she stayed any longer, it might not be as simple as being robbed; she might actually die here!

Ye Mei stumbled to Ye Ting's side, stuffed a heart-protecting Medicinal Pill into his mouth, and then pulled him up.

Before leaving, Ye Mei turned her head and screamed with her leaking mouth:

"Yu Linglong! Cao Kun! You shameless couple!"

"When Changhe finishes his seclusion, I'll make sure you both die without a place to be buried!"

After saying that, fearing Yu Linglong might chase her down if she felt displeased...

...she quickly bit the tip of her tongue, forced out a drop of essence blood, and forcibly activated a flying Magical Artifact for escape.

Carrying the half-dead Ye Ting, she fled Lianxiang Peak in an extremely wretched state.

Looking at the backs of the two as they fled, Yu Linglong snorted coldly, her eyes full of disdain.

She turned around and threw herself into Cao Kun's arms again.

Her jade arms tightly encircled his neck, her proud fullness pressing against his chest without restraint.

"Revered Master, don't be afraid," Yu Linglong said softly, her tone full of absolute confidence.

"With Linglong here, even if that old fogey Su Changhe really finishes his seclusion, I won't let him touch a single hair on your head."

"If he dares to come, Linglong will risk self-detonating my Golden Core to make him lose a layer of skin!"

Cao Kun felt the warm and soft beauty in his arms and smiled meaningfully.

Afraid?

The word "fear" didn't exist in Cao Kun's dictionary.

What if he's at the Early Nascent Soul Stage?

In front of a cheater like him...

...he's just an oversized experience pack delivered to his door.

If he really dares to come, I'll knock his dentures out.

Cao Kun sent out a wisp of Divine Sense, probing the two Storage Rings in his sleeve.

In Ye Ting's ring, there were large quantities of medium and High-Grade Spiritual Plants, as well as dozens of bottles of excellent Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stage Medicinal Pills.

The wealth of a Pill Pavilion Elder was indeed overflowing!

Ye Mei's ring was even more luxurious.

Piles of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones were neatly arranged; a quick scan revealed at least over a hundred thousand.

In the corner, there were even a dozen or so brilliant Top-Grade Spirit Stones being nurtured by a Formation!

Besides that, there were several high-quality defensive and offensive Magical Artifacts.

Cao Kun felt a surge of secret joy: This wave was a total win!

Last night, he had absorbed the pure Crimson Flame Primordial Yin that Liu Rumeng had accumulated for twenty years, leaving him just one step away from the Golden Core.

Now, with this staggering windfall as a foundation...

...breaking through the barrier and forming his Golden Core would happen tonight.

Once he entered the Golden Core Stage, his Physical Body and Divine Soul would undergo another qualitative transformation, and the power of the Myriad Laws Return to Silence Dao Wheel could truly be unleashed.

When that time comes, it's hard to say who will be the predator and who will be the prey.
