191 Zuo Shangchen's Fury 11

Elder Liu had expected the young woman standing in front of him to be frightened at the thought of an endless stream of monsters coming towards her.

Unfortunately for him, he was disappointed. Gu Ruoyun’s expression had been indifferent from the start. Her eyes were calm as though the things he had just said had nothing to do with her…

Even Elder Liu had to admit that if he had not accepted this mission, he would definitely take Gu Ruoyun on as an apprentice. This young woman’s mentality was unshakeable; even if she could not match up to the Young Master’s abilities, it would not make much of a difference.

But once the Dark Yin Palace have accepted a task, there was no such thing as giving up.

When he thought about this, there was a trace of regret on his aging face.

"Old man," Yunyao laughed, "Why are you talking nonsense? If you say anything else, I, Yunyao, will kill you today!"

"Haha!" Elder Liu laughed hysterically, "You are a dignified king of the spiritual beasts and you can speak our language. Why are you helping an ordinary human? The forest is where you belong!"

Honestly, Elder Liu was jealous of Gu Ruoyun. What did this girl, a mere Martial General, have that she could command a Martial King level spiritual beast? He was most dissatisfied! If he were to fight this spiritual beast, he definitely won’t have any chance of winning!

It was only until this point that Ling Yihui realized that the White Tiger was speaking in their language.

Goodness! These fellows really knew how to terrify people! If it wasn’t for his strong heart, he would have been frightened to death by now!

"Old man, stop stalling for time! Why don’t we go at it now?"

Yunyao did not even look at the others who have gathered around. She scoffed and her enormous body glided through the air towards Elder Liu with her claws extended…

Elder Liu’s pupils dilated and he raised the sword in his hands. The White Tiger’s claws gripped the sword tightly and it was as though two weapons were hitting each other. Sparks flew everywhere, making a sizzling sound…

The battle between the two Martial King level opponents was more interesting than anything else. Although, at that moment, the Ling family was not in the state of mind to enjoy it thoroughly.

They knew that Elder Yu was still at the Hundred Herb Hall. Elder Yu might be unable to beat Elder Liu on his own but if he was to join today’s battle, Elder Liu will not have any chance of winning!

However, what the crowd did not know was that not only was Elder Yu a Martial King, the Ghost Doctor had also broken through to the Martial King level. When counted together with Xunfeng and the snow wolf Baobao, Gu Ruoyun has more than one or two Martial Kings on her side.

And, she still has her trump card - Zixie!

Until now, Gu Ruoyun was still unsure of that man’s true level of power but judging from Yunyao’s attitude in front of Zixie, she could understand - whether it was then or now, he was very strong!

He was extremely strong!

Gu Ruoyun directed her gaze at the battle. Her eyes were cold as she asked impatiently, "Yunyao, is that all you can do? Are you someone who has been a Martial King for so long?"

Yunyao almost fell face-first on the ground, she felt like crying, "My Master, do you really think that I’m still the Divine White Tiger from the past? Ever since I had been beaten and injured by those b*stards, I’ve been unable to fully recover. Therefore now my powers are the same as a mid-level Martial King."

No matter what, she could not be looked down upon by her Master. Otherwise, if her master no longer has a use for her, she might be burnt to ashes by Zixie…

When she thought of this, Yunyao flew at Elder Liu again…

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Palace, Imperial Concubine Ling had just heard the news about the Ling family. Her body went soft and she slumped onto the ground, "Gu Ruoyun, can it be that I can’t kill you? No, I don’t believe this, you have to die no matter what!"

She gently closed her eyes and said to the Ling family servant who was kneeling before her, "Leave."

"Yes, Imperial Concubine."

The servant was promptly led away by the palace maids. Imperial Concubine Ling was then left alone in her room. After a long while, she opened her eyes and said, "Great Azure Dragon, in the past, I had allowed you to hide here to tend to your wounds. You promised that you will return the favor. Now, I want you to kill Gu Ruoyun. Got it?"

She had not wanted to use this trump card but she had no other choice. All of this was Gu Ruoyun’s fault! She will never forgive her!
