At this moment, Wu Hanshan was extremely terrifying.
Even though he was heavily injured, and his remaining strength was less than ten percent of his peak condition, the Earth Origin Stage was still an Earth Origin Stage. It was still not something Lingyun, a Mortal Origin Stage martial artist, could contend against.
Wu Hanshan's entire body was covered in blood, his expression sinister, as he stared at Ling Yun with an extremely ruthless gaze.
He, an Earth Origin Stage cultivator, had almost fallen into the hands of an ant like Ling Yun. How could he not be enraged?
"Kid, you will die a horrible death."
Wu Hanshan was like a volcano that was about to erupt, filled with a dangerous aura.
As the sound of his voice faded, a blood-red lion slowly took shape behind him.
A baleful aura emanated from the berserk lion formed from Origin Energy, engulfing everything in the area as it swept through the sky and caused Lingyun's black hair to dance wildly in the wind.
"The power of an Earth Origin Stage martial artist is too strong, I can't take this attack head on!" If you take it head on, you won't have any chance of winning. "
Ling Yun was on guard, and was frantically thinking of a way to deal with it.
At that moment, a figure staggered out from the pit behind Wu Hanshan.
"Wu Hanshan!" If you dare to touch that youth, I will die together with you! "
The figure that dashed out was Huo Zhong.
Huo Zhong had long since reached his limit, and the current him was completely relying on a stubborn determination to persevere.
His elemental energy was already exhausted, and he charged straight towards Wu Hanshan without fear of death.
"You piece of trash really have a tough life. Since you're still alive even like this, I'll send you off again!"
Wu Hanshan snorted and stretched out his arm, grabbing with his five fingers.
With this action, the blood-red lion behind him shifted its attention to Huo Zhong. The huge lion suddenly stretched out a claw and swiped at Huo Zhong.
One could imagine that once Huo Zhong was hit by this attack, he would definitely be smashed to pieces.
It was at this time that Ling Yun's eyes suddenly shone.
"This is the perfect opportunity!"
Taking advantage of the moment that Wu Hanshan's attention was attracted to Huo Zhong, Ling Yun made his move.
"Whether or not I can survive today will depend on me."
The Crimson Thunder Spear in his hand shone brightly as lightning twined around it. It shot towards Wu Hanshan like a bolt of lightning.
"Hmph, yet another one who's courting death. How dare a mere Mortal Origin Stage ant take the initiative to attack me, your father! What a joke!"
A cruel smile appeared on Wu Hanshan's face, he casually threw out a hand blade, and instantly, a materialized spirit energy filled with killing intent formed and shot towards Lingyun.
Just as the elemental energy blade was about to slash Lingyun into two.
Suddenly, a strange smile appeared on Lingyun's face.
"Instant movement technique, Swift."
Ling Yun roared in his heart, and instantly activated his movement technique. Like a puff of green smoke, he disappeared from where he stood.
"Shua!"
Ling Yun's figure flashed and appeared behind Wu Hanshan. He then thrusted his spear out like a dragon towards the back of Wu Hanshan's heart.
"How is this possible!?" How could a mere Mortal Origin Stage brat have such speed! "
Wu Hanshan's heart skipped a beat. Lingyun's speed when he used his movement technique was beyond his expectations.
If Wu Hanshan was still at his peak condition, he would not have lost his composure like this, he might even be able to strike back. However, he didn't have a single bit of strength left right now, so he wasn't strong enough.
"Damn it!"
Under the sudden attack, Wu Hanshan only had time to hastily place a layer of elemental energy shield. And because his strength had severely decreased, this layer of defense was not enough to withstand the sudden attack.
"He should barely be able to defend against the attacks of half a step Earth Origin Stage martial artists. That's more than enough to deal with this kid …"
Wu Hanshan felt slightly more at ease.
Just as Wu Hanshan's spirit energy defense was formed, Lingyun's attack had also arrived.
The Scarlet Thunder Spear released a dazzling thunder light, the tip of the spear suddenly nailed Wu Hanshan's elemental energy shield.
"This brat is actually this strong? He's not one bit inferior to a Mortal Origin Stage martial artist at the tenth level." Wu Hanshan was surprised again, "But... "If that is all you have, you can stop here …"
A cruel smile gradually spread across Wu Hanshan's face.
Although Ling Yun's power surprised him, it was not a fatal threat to him.
"If you think it's over like this, then you're looking down on people." When Ling Yun saw the sneer on Wu Hanshan's face, how could he not know what he was thinking?
"Burning Incantation!"
Ling Yun muttered in his heart.
An incomparably terrifying power instantly erupted from his body. In that instant, the tip of the Crimson Thunder Spear became like a red-hot iron, incomparably blazing!
"This …"
The sneer on Wu Hanshan's face froze all of a sudden, and his eyes revealed a strong shock that could not be dispelled.
In that instant, the power that Ling Yun unleashed was already beyond the Mortal Origin Stage, and it was not at all inferior to a half step Earth Origin Stage expert.
Kacha kacha.
Under such explosive force, the elemental energy defense on Wu Hanshan's body crumbled like broken glass, crumbling with a loud bang!
"Swish!"
Lingyun pushed the Scarlet Thunder Spear, breaking through Wu Hanshan's clothes and leaving a finger sized wound on his back.
All of this happened in a split-second. This unexpected turn of events was something Wu Hanshan had never expected at all.
"You damned little bastard, how dare you hurt me!"
Wu Hanshan finally reacted and could not help but let out a furious roar.
He was a well-known expert in the capital, but now he had been injured by a Mortal Origin Stage cultivator. Even if it was just a small wound, it would still be a great shame for him!
"You damned bastard, I'm going to wipe out your soul!"
A terrifying aura burst out from Wu Hanshan's body, and now, he was determined to kill Lingyun regardless of what he had done to his injuries.
But Ling Yun was already prepared.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lingyun immediately retreated far away, maintaining a distance with Wu Hanshan.
Just as Wu Hanshan was about to use his power, his expression suddenly changed and he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
"Not good, the spear is poisonous!"
Wu Hanshan staggered and almost fell to the ground.
This poison was too intense. He had only suffered a small cut on his skin. However, in the blink of an eye, this poison had already spread through his meridians and blood vessels and throughout his entire body.
His condition was already bad enough, but now that he had been poisoned, it was simply adding fuel to the snow.
"Hualala!"
In this state, Wu Hanshan was no longer able to maintain the blood-red lion. The blood-red lion suddenly turned into countless Yuan Power and collapsed. Naturally, Huo Zhong used this chance to preserve his life.
"Haha, well done young man!" I never thought that you would actually cause Wu Hanshan to suffer such a big loss. Huo Zhong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Wu Hanshan, your current situation is no better than mine, and now that I have this young man to help me, I want to see just who will die today!"
Huo Zhongqiang propped up his broken body and stared at Wu Hanshan with his sharp eyes. He had the intention of fighting Wu Hanshan to the death.
"You!"
Wu Hanshan looked at Huo Zhong and then looked at Ling Yun.
It could be said that he could easily obtain the treasure left behind by the Honored Warrior Huo Zhen. However, a monstrous youth had appeared out of nowhere and caused him to suffer a great loss that he had never suffered before!
"I'm heavily injured right now, and I'm also poisoned by that trash's strange poison. If this continues, even if I can kill them both, I'll definitely die from the poison …" I can't do this kind of business that is losing money. "
Wu Hanshan thought quickly as he weighed the pros and cons.
In the end, his expression changed a few times, and he let out a sigh.
"Huo Zhong, and you little bastard, I'll let you two live for today. Once I recover, I'll chase you to the ends of the earth to retrieve your treasures. Don't even think about escaping from the Martial House's Inescapable Net."
After he finished speaking, Wu Hanshan's body flashed and disappeared from Ling Yun and Huo Zhong's line of sight.
"Phew …" Fortunately, this traitor was forced back. Ling Yun could not help but heave a sigh of relief. The cold sweat on his forehead hinted that he was not relaxed at the moment.
"Thank you for saving my life. You are truly a genius. This is the first time I've seen someone at the Mortal Origin Stage forcing an Earth Origin Stage into such a state!" Huo Zhong endured the pain and bowed, wanting to thank Lingyun.
Ling Yun quickly helped Huo Zhong up.
"I can't accept this, senior!"
"How can I not? It's all thanks to you that I became a sinner of the Huo Family after the Yin Yang Fish Talisman fell into the hands of the invaders from the Martial House. I don't have the face to go down to see the ancestors of the Huo Family." Huo Zhong sincerely said.
"This... Senior, to tell you the truth, the Yin Yang Fish Talisman seems to … and ran into my body. "
Lingyun wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he decided to tell Huo Zhong the truth.
"How can this be!"
Huo Zhong was also surprised.
It's good that you have the Yin Yang Fish Talisman with you, it can greatly reduce the probability of the Yin Yang Fish Talisman being taken away. After all, my goal is too big, but you're different. Only Wu Hanshan has seen you.
Huo Zhong said, "Little friend, I only ask of you one thing. If you take out the Yin Yang Fish Talisman in the future, please return it to the Huo Family. If you cannot take it out, please hand over one portion of the items you obtained from the Yin Yang Fish Talisman to the Huo Family.
Ling Yun replied: "That makes sense. Senior, don't worry, I, Ling Yun, will keep my promise."
Huo Zhong nodded and said, "With what little friend has said, I feel relieved. "Let's split up. While I'm still half alive, I can draw the attention of those people from the Martial House. This way, you and the Yin Yang Fish Talisman will be safer."
"Senior … I still have some Mortal Restoration Pills here. Although they might not be of much help to you, please accept them … "Take care!" Lingyun gave Huo Zhong the remaining thirty Mortal Restoration Pills.
Huo Zhong did not hold back and took all the Mortal Restoration Pills and swallowed them on the spot.
He knew that his current condition was better, so he could help Ling Yun delay a bit longer. This way, Ling Yun would have a higher chance of safely escaping the Sunset Demon Ridge.
Although the Mortal Restoration Pills were far from being comparable to Earth Yuan Pills, they were still enough to restore Huo Zhong's strength.
Sure enough, after he quickly refined the power of all the Yuan Pills, Huo Zhong's complexion became much better.
"Thank you, little friend. Take care!"
Huo Zhong solemnly nodded at Ling Yun, and then left in the opposite direction, disappearing into the forest.
