Chapter 621 Snowball (2/2)
Ling Jian landed on the ground in an elegant manner and with a snap of his right finger, cheers roared from all direction.
Right before the two of them exchanged blows, Ling Jian suddenly sped up by two times at the very least. The stumpy elder was completely unable to react in time and was sent flying by Ling Jian's slap. Originally, even if this stumpy elder wasn't a match for Ling Jian, he shouldn't have been defeated in a single exchange. His defeat was completely due to the fact that he underestimated the enemy. If not for Ling Tian instructing Ling Jian to not harm the life of the Yu Family's elders, this stumpy elder would have been dead from that single mistake!
Yu XiaoRan's expression was as dull as the dark clouds. Looking at Ling Jian's his eyes flashed with rage. He already understood that this so-called study attendant was feigning a pig to eat the tiger! The speed at which he took action was one that only a peerless expert would be able to display. Yu XiaoRan could still feel a lingering sense of fear when thinking about the speed that Ling Jian displayed! He suddenly turned to look at a green-dressed lady beside him, ”May I ask Miss if this Ling Jian is truly young n.o.ble Ling Tian's study attendant?”
The green-dressed lady looked at Yu XiaoRan and as though she was stifling her laughter, she nodded her head and said, ”That's right, brother Jian is indeed young n.o.ble's personal study attendant. Who in the Ling Residence doesn't know about this? The information network of the Yu Family is world famous and you guys should be aware of this, right?” The young lady was filled with disdain in her heart. Darn old fogey! You are actually thinking of fis.h.i.+ng for information from me?! You must be blind! However, what she said wasn't a lie either. While Ling Jian had a status in the Courtyard only second to both Ling Tian and Ling Chen, he was indeed Ling Tian's study attendant in name. After all, Ling Jian felt that nothing could be a match for being Ling Tian's study attendant!
Yu XiaoRan replied with an oh before saying in a distracted manner, ”Who would have thought that even young n.o.ble Ling Tian's study attendant would have such a high level of martial arts. Young n.o.ble Ling Tian is indeed surrounded by experts!”
”Is brother Jian's martial arts at a high level?” the green-dressed lady asked with doubt. ”Young n.o.ble is naturally surrounded by experts! However, the other guards only showed him face because he had grown up with young n.o.ble since he was young. Among the three hundred personal guards of young n.o.ble, brother Jian is nothing. If we really want to rank them, brother Jian would definitely be ranked at the very end.”
The weakest one?! The weakest one was actually able to win against an elder of the Colliding Heaven Pavilion?! Not to mention anyone else, even Yu XiaoRan himself wasn't confident of absolute victory if he took action. For there to be three hundred experts even more powerful than Ling Jian, could he be dreaming?! Yu XiaoRan felt his heart shake and his fingers trembled.
The green-dressed lady looked around like a little la.s.s who had made a mistake and stammered, ”Err... actually... all of that may not be true. All of these are the secrets of the Ling Family Courtyard and I have only heard rumors about them. You must not treat what I said as true. Ah ah ah...” After laughing dryly for a moment, the young lady then ran away to the side. At the same time, she almost burst out laughing as she thought, See how I scare all of you to death!
This green-dressed lady was Shui QianRou's personal maid, Die'er. The Shui and Yu Family were mortal enemies and now that she had the chance to tease them, how would she let it go to waste? She naturally bragged about the Ling Family's strength as much as she could! Seeing the look of shock on Yu XiaoRan's face, Die'er was naturally overjoyed.
Was Ling Tian's strength truly so unfathomable? Such an organization was just far too frightening! Yu XiaoRan's face was extremely dull. The look of fear in the little la.s.s's eyes as though she was trying to cover something up had erased the last trace of doubt that Yu XiaoRan had.
In the snow, the stumpy old man let out a roar and stood up. He looked as though he wanted to swallow Ling Jian alive as he wiped off a trace of blood from his lips, ”Good brat, you truly concealed yourself well. This old man underestimated you! However, you better not be delighted! From now on, you will not be able to take advantage of me!”
Ling Jian let out a long sigh and had a look of helplessness. ”I will admit that if we are going to fight with our lips, I will not be able to take advantage of you. If we are going to fight with the thickness of our skin, I would not be a match for you at all!”
Ling Jian looked at the stumpy old man with pity. ”Your attainments in these two areas are truly at the peak of perfection! I never expected that there would be someone with skin as thick as the city walls! My eyes have truly been opened today!”
”You are seeking death! Hand your life over!” As he roared, he pounced forward with frustration. How would Ling Jian be afraid of him? Ling Jian charged forward as well, speeding up a notch, and a series of clas.h.i.+ng sounds could be heard in the air. Following that, a figure like a round ball crashed down from the sky and rolled around in the snow. In just a short while, the figure had actually rolled a few rounds in the snow and turned into a huge s...o...b..ll.
Ling Jian's figure then flashed in the sky and landed on the ground. He then revealed a bright smile and said, ”How round.”
In a battle between experts, even the slightest bit of difference was like the difference of a thousand miles. Even though Ling Jian increased his speed only slightly, it was out of the stumpy elder's expectations again. How could he not experience defeat? He had once again lost to Ling Jian in a single blow!
Yu XiaoRan snorted and his figure flashed out to stop the rolling s...o...b..ll. With a simple palm, an odd human figure was revealed.
The legs of the stumpy elder were locked behind his neck and his arms were curled around his a.s.s. His head was inserted into his pants and his originally round figure looked completely like a ball at this moment. Even after his rolling figure was stopped, his ridiculous posture was still maintained.
Yu XiaoRan's face turned ugly and after slapping the stumpy elder a couple of times, the stumpy elder regained his consciousness. While the stumpy elder did not suffer from any severe injuries, he was a respected figure in the Yu Family who had never suffered such humiliation in the past ten years. After regaining his consciousness, he spat out another mouthful of blood in anger, and then he fell unconscious again from anger.
