282: The change at the bottom of the pool, Ling Qingzhu's fear! [Seeking follow-up reading]

Lin Fan's mind stirred, and his Mental Energy swiftly drilled into the jade slip.

Buzz!

As Lin Fan's Mental Energy entered the jade slip, a buzzing sound suddenly erupted in his mind.

Immediately after, his vision went black, and the scene transformed into a vast starry sky.

Under Lin Fan's mental gaze, the vast starry sky suddenly twisted, and a figure slowly emerged from the distorted space.

As he approached, Lin Fan noticed that this person was dressed in a gray robe, his figure as tall and firm as a mountain.

His appearance wasn't particularly handsome, but a majestic Aura naturally emanated from him. At this moment, his radiance was almost more dazzling than the brilliant starry sky itself.

The figure stood beneath the starry sky, then stepped forward, his fists dancing. A profound Martial Art was unleashed fluidly, like flowing clouds and water.

At that instant, it seemed as if the entire starry sky trembled for him.

And as he performed his Martial Art, a deep, hoarse voice, as if from ancient times, rumbled heavily through the starry sky.

"My life was divided into three stages: In the first stage, I fought three thousand eight hundred battles, winning none. In the middle stage... In the latter stage, I fought eight thousand battles, losing ten."

"In my remaining years, others bestowed upon me the title of Martial God. Later, I assimilated Martial Art and created my own, named 'Martial God Canon'."

"In the battle between heaven and earth, relying on this Martial Art, I cut down three generals and severely wounded one king. Though I fell, it was enough to stand proudly between heaven and earth..."

Listening to the phantom's words, Lin Fan's heart was also somewhat shaken, but he remained fully focused, watching the phantom practice the Martial Art.

As the last syllable fell, the fist technique also reached its end, and then a punch materialized out of thin air, causing the entire starry sky to rumble and tremble!

Immediately after, countless stars, overwhelming in number, crashed down!

"The Martial God Canon is indeed extraordinary," Lin Fan's Mental Energy returned to his body. He looked at the jade slip in his hand, a satisfied smile on his face.

With the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability bonus, Lin Fan had already completely mastered this Martial Art called the Martial God Canon, just by watching the Martial God's phantom practice it.

This was a powerful Martial Art, stronger than the Great Desolate Imprisoning Sky Hand, and not much weaker than Lin Dong's Azure Sky Dragon Transformation Skill!

Having obtained another powerful Martial Art, Lin Fan was in a rather good mood.

Immediately, Lin Fan's thoughts stirred slightly. He put away the gray-black jade slip, released his Mental Energy, and began to sense the direction of the Taiqing Immortal Pool.

In Lin Fan's perception, the Taiqing Immortal Pool was simply too calm, without the slightest fluctuation.

"It seems there's still a problem," Lin Fan muttered to himself, then his figure flickered, appearing beside the Taiqing Pool.

After staring at the Taiqing Immortal Pool for a long while, Lin Fan simply leaped in, jumping into the Taiqing Immortal Pool.

As soon as Lin Fan jumped into the Taiqing Immortal Pool, he felt an extremely pure and peculiar energy surge from all directions, continuously drilling into his body.

Under the nourishment of this energy, Lin Fan could feel a faint, subtle tingling sensation emanating from within his body.

However, this tingling sensation was not the pain of injury; rather, amidst the pain, there was a faint sense of comfort, much like when an injury is being healed.

Lin Fan allowed the water of the Taiqing Immortal Pool to permeate his body, while simultaneously searching for Ling Qingzhu within the Taiqing Immortal Pool.

Unable to find her in the upper part of the Taiqing Immortal Pool, Lin Fan directly plunged towards the dark bottom of the pool.

The Taiqing Immortal Pool was not large in area, but its depths were unusually vast, with many winding waterways, making the terrain quite complex.

Under the powerful Mental Energy's perception, Lin Fan searched continuously for more than ten minutes before finally sensing Ling Qingzhu's location. He immediately sped up, swimming towards her position.

Several minutes later, Lin Fan arrived at the sensed location.

He saw a jade-green, emerald-like glow radiating from the bottom of the Taiqing Immortal Pool, and within that glow, a body like white jade was curled up.

A head of dark hair fanned out behind her, looking from afar like a sleeping mermaid in the water. This delicate body was Ling Qingzhu, who had entered the Taiqing Immortal Pool. Lin Fan's gaze swept over Ling Qingzhu, and he quickly noticed something unusual beneath her body.

From the bottom of the pool there, streaks of emerald-green light shot out, eventually connecting to the luminous orb surrounding Ling Qingzhu.

Seeing this, Lin Fan's brows furrowed slightly. He waved his sleeve, and a gust of wind swept across the bottom of the pool, directly stirring up the mud.

As the mud dispersed, Lin Fan saw a skeletal white bone lying flat at the bottom of the pool.

A faint glow permeated the skeleton, and those emerald-green light rays emanated from within the skeleton, ultimately connecting to Ling Qingzhu's body.

Along the connections of these light rays, light constantly flickered, as if something was continuously being absorbed from Ling Qingzhu's body into the skeletal white bone.

Lin Fan's eyes fixed on the skeletal white bone. At this moment, a hint of emerald-green light seemed to flicker within its dark eye sockets.

This skeleton was absorbing Ling Qingzhu's life force!

A cold glint flashed in Lin Fan's eyes. His figure moved, and he swam to the light rays. Immediately, Devouring Power surged in his palm, and he grabbed hold of the light rays.

Hiss! Hiss!

Under the effect of the Devouring Power, bursts of white mist immediately erupted from the light rays. The Devouring Power permeated them, directly devouring all the connected energy within.

Crack!

The emerald-green light rays quickly dimmed at this moment, finally crumbling with a few crisp sounds.

As the light rays shattered, the glow surging around Ling Qingzhu's body also quickly dissipated, but her eyes remained tightly closed; she had not yet awakened.

Lin Fan's figure moved, and he reached out to embrace Ling Qingzhu's graceful body.

Looking at the beautiful sight, Lin Fan's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken a few beats. He then took a deep breath, took out a robe, and covered Ling Qingzhu's jade-like body.

With one arm around Ling Qingzhu, Lin Fan used his other hand to unleash a powerful palm strike, which slammed into the skeleton.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the skeleton immediately exploded, turning into ashes and dissipating.

Buzz!

From where the skeleton had dissipated, a streak of emerald-green light suddenly appeared, and then, with a whoosh, it swept across the bottom of the pool, heading towards Lin Fan.

As the emerald-green light reached him, it circled around and drilled into Ling Qingzhu's body.

"A spirit seal, huh? This is a blessing in disguise for you," Lin Fan recognized the emerald-green light at a glance. He looked at the serene beauty in his arms and whispered with a light chuckle.

Just then, Lin Fan suddenly felt the jade-like beauty in his arms stir.

Lin Fan looked down and saw a beautiful face with clear eyes open, flushed and burning hot.

Two pairs of bright eyes met at the bottom of the pool, yet both fell into an eerie silence.

Lin Fan could feel a scorching warmth emanating from the soft, jade-like body in his arms.

The thin robe, dampened by the Taiqing Immortal Pool water, offered almost no concealment, but rather created a more alluring effect of being half-covered, half-exposed.

Lin Fan's mind and body also unconsciously underwent some changes.

"Let go of me," Ling Qingzhu evidently noticed Lin Fan's subtle change. A hint of fear flashed in the depths of her clear eyes, and she struggled slightly, saying.

At this moment, Ling Qingzhu, clearly in this unique environment, had lost her usual aloofness and had forgotten how alluring it was to a man when a woman, who usually resembled an immortal, displayed such extremely rare timidity.

Boom!

As Ling Qingzhu's voice fell, a certain special light seemed to appear in Lin Fan's eyes. He hugged Ling Qingzhu much tighter, then lowered his head, and his burning lips covered hers... (End of chapter)
