Chapter 259: The Way to Fight: The General Program of the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique (2/2)
After awakening, Lin Xiao's thoughts became confused and vague again. He fell from the sky. Before his body touched the ground, Junior Leopard grabbed his collar and threw him into the air.
...
”Splash!” Lin Xiaoqing's body was cast at Wu Yufei and Lyu Yiyue's feet like a battered sack.
”You, you killed The Elder Lin. How dare you! You killed him. You're dead! You—!”
”Bang—!” With a sharp snap, Wu Yulong's body was knocked off into the air and dropped to the ground heavily.
”This slap was a lesson from me on behalf of the Family Head,” said Junior Leopard coldly.
”You—!” Wu Yulong who was on the ground, suddenly turned over and stood up; his eyes were full of venom. It was not a hard slap, however, Junior Leopard used an insidious way to direct his Qi, which did not hurt other parts of his body but made his face to swell like a steamed bun.
”Why me?” Junior Leopard felt refreshed when he saw Wu Yulong staring at him with nefarious eyes. Perhaps he had been stifling his emotions for a long time, so he needed a form of release.Therefore, when he saw Wu Yulong angry and helpless, he was very pleased, but his eyes were cold.
Wu Yulong, who had just received a cold look from Junior Leopard, slightly recoiled back; he was afraid and drooped his head.
”Elder Zhou, this thing!”
”Don't worry, First Elder. I was just teaching him a lesson!” Junior Leopard said and extended his foot to kick Lin Xiaoqing's body. ”Could you kindly please bring the Tian Long Taoism Elder back? This time, for the sake of Chief Wang She I will spare his life!”
”He's still alive.That is good enough!” After hearing this, this took a load off Lyu Yiyue's mind and he crouched down to examine Lin Xiaoqing's body. He worried that Junior Leopard would kill Lin Xiaoqing in a fit of anger. In that case, his behavior would thoroughly irritate the Tian Long Taoism and their Wu Family would pay the consequences.
Even if Junior Leopard had not killed him, they would still have a hard time explaining to the Tian Long Taoism after they went back because Junior Leopard had beat him severely. Hence, Lyu Yiyue raised his head in embarrassment and said, ”Elder Zhou, you've badly hurt Elder Lin, may I suggest he recuperates for a few days in your residence before he can go back—?”
His tone revealed a hint of inquiry. Although he was the Wu Family's First Elder and ranked top in reference to ability, he had to admit that, since Junior Leopard had risen like a comet, he was no match for Junior Leopard, an outer core elder who was young and powerful. Today, Lin Xiaoqing's experience proved that Junior Leopard was strong. Consequently, he kept a lower profile than before.
”That's OK. You just bring him back!” Junior Leopard waved his hand, and a sneer rested on his lips. ”Regarding the Tian Long Taoism, I could be tactful. As for the several well-known families, hum, I'm a baron of the imperial court.They are not qualified to order me around!”
Seeing Junior Leopard so full of confidence, Lyu Yiyue could not help being concerned about him. Junior Leopard had not shown him any respect in spite of him being the Wu Family's outer core elder. Now he was a competent person with real power, so he controlled many resources. If he really became hostile to the Tian Long Taoism and those well-known families, it would not be a good thing for the Wu Family. In particular, Junior Leopard's strength was perversely mighty. His power topped in the Wu Family. Anyway, Junior Leopard alone could deter the other three smelting families in the Great Jin, which was a great benefit to the Wu Family!
However, if the Tian Long Taoism wanted to counter Junior Leopard, then the Wu Family would likely lose such a giant deterrence. At the thought of this, he said spontaneously, ”Elder Zhou, you may not know this but Chief Wang is said to have been seriously hurt. He was confined to his house earlier. Rumor has it that his cultivation would be useless even if he could recover.”
The martial arts practitioners world always treasured strength the most. Once a person lost his strength, all would be in vain no matter how excellent he had been in the past. Wang She was one of the three Chiefs of the Tian Long Taoism and also a Level Nine expert. However, if his cultivation was ruined, even if the Tian Long Taosim considered their previous affection, he would not be able to live in peace from now on.
After hearing that, Junior Leopard was suddenly speechless, and then he laughed. ”Really? That's refreshing news. When I'm free, I'd like to visit him and ask him when he will die!”
”This—!”
Lyu Yiyue had not expected that such words would come out from Junior Leopard's mouth; he did not know what else to say.
”Alright, First Elder, that's it. For such a loathsome guy, I won't invite him to stay. If you don't carry him away, he will die on the prairie!”
”Well, it is what it is now. I will follow your orders. You, young people, are too impulsive!” Lyu Yiyue sighed, picked up Lin Xiaoqing from the ground, carried him on the shoulder and strode away without calling on Wu Yulong.
Seeing the situation, Wu Yulong kept pace with him silently and dared not to look at Junior Leopard; his eyes indicated a touch of added resentment when he was watching Lyu Yiyue's back.
Junior Leopard caught sight of all of this, but he did not point it out bluntly and instead he just smiled.
After the two had walked far away, Junior Leopard sent Jiang Xiao and the other people away.
After all the people had left, Junior Leopard danced in his robe sleeves. A layer of light and invisible mist instantly covered the small yard.
It was the Yin and Yang Dust Formation!
Junior Leopard had not understood the peerless formation. However, through his long research, he could now easily display a magic matrix which could be pervasive in his yard.
Displaying the formation, he turned around slightly and looked at the debris in the room, and said with a laugh, ”Chief Wang, they've already left. Don't hide. Come out!”
”Interesting. How did you find me?” A hoarse voice came from behind the wall. Then, Wang She's figure moved from the shadow with a curious face. ”I used the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill!”
”Indeed, you just used the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, but your position was wrong. Your shadow was reflected.”
Junior Leopard, pointing at a corner, said, ”You're careless. It's not your style!”
”Even if my shadow was mirrored, how could you be sure it was me?”
”That's easy. Who else could be able to imperceptibly walk into my room except you, Chief Wang, who else has grasped the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill?”
”You're really confident. Experts in this world are as many as the hairs on an ox. There are countless people who could sneak up on you!”
”Maybe, but I know that only you can do that, so I guessed!” Junior Leopard said with a laugh. ”Your Excellency the Chief you have come to my cold and poor place in the northwest. Do you intend to persuade me to participate in that lousy World Hero Competition held by Lao Shizi?”
”Yes, that's my purpose, but I don't mean to persuade you. Instead, I'd like to give you a thrashing so that you can't participate in it!” Wang She said with a smile. ”I just didn't expect that your temper would be so fierce. You don't respect our Tian Long Taoism at all. Now, I have a reason to beat you up!”
”You have a reason to give me a blow, but I am not in the mood to strike back. I'm just a little bit curious why the four well-known families, Wang, Chen, Lin and Yang, and you Tian Long Taoism are trying to make trouble for me? You are all crazy.”
”They're not crazy. This thing is so serious that it touched some people's nerves. That's why it happened!” Wang She gave a wry smile and said, ”Although I'm one of the top three Chiefs of the Tian Long Taoism, I've not been involved in the Tian Long Taoism matters recently because of my injury. Besides, the Tian Long Taoism is a big household in which influences interweave. As a Chief, I seem to have great authority, but I cannot control some people!”
”For example, this Elder Lin?”
”Lin Xiaoqing is from the Lins, so he has some influence in the Tian Long Taoism. He doesn't get on well with me, so he's not under my control!”
”How about your disciple? How can you be his partner?”
”This disciple is a street-wise person!” When it came to Wu Yulong, Wang She's face became displeased. He smiled sullenly and changed the topic. ”As for you, you were also slick. What's wrong with you today? So valiant. You punched Lin Xiaoqing and he spurts blood. What on earth do you expect? Don't you think that I can help you with this thing?”
”Can you help me?”
”If you hadn't hurt Lin Xiaoqing as badly as you did, this could have been the past. Now, you bunged him up. It greatly injures the Tian Long Taoism's dignity. The old man won't let it go. You will probably implicate me in it!”
”It's not that serious, is it?”
”Not serious? The old man was nice, but he always puts the Tian Long Taoism's profit first. You brutally hurt the Tian Long Taoism's Elder, so you won't get past him!”
”I don't think so!” Junior Leopard said, laughing. ”You're the Tian Long Taoism's Chief. Except for the Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill, you've also practiced other cultivation methods?!”
”I mainly practiced the Green Jade Qian Yuan Skill. No other cultivation methods. Why did you ask that?”
It was an unexpected question and even impolite, so Wang She paused, eyeing Junior Leopard questioningly.
”About the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique, even if you didn't practice it, I suppose you've heard of it?”
”Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique?” Wang She's eyes were frozen. ”Oh, boy, this is the unique cultivation method that the Tian Long Taoism's Leader is entitled to practice. Others don't know of it. How did you know?”
”I not only know that you have the Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique, I also know the General Program of your Tian Long Taoism's Nine Heaven Yuan Yang Technique is lost!”
Wang She jerked his lips and saw that Junior Leopard's eyes were kindled with a weird and seductive light. ”Don't tell me that the General Program is in your hands?”
”You deserve to be the Tian Long Taoism's Chief. You're much cleverer than common people. You're right. The General Program is in my possession now. I was entrusted by someone to give it back to the Tian Long Taoism, but I haven't got an opportunity!
