Chapter 91: Women Are Meant to Be Cherished!
The “Demon Suppression Stone” are indeed powerful, capable of neutralizing magic and breaking spells, but they only work on techniques below the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
The protective glow around Lin Langyue clearly comes from an Immortal Treasure.
Moreover, fearing the wrath of Old Li, the stones that Li Ran took were too small.
While they work against ordinary spells, they are ineffective against large-scale magic.
He decided to put away his gloves to avoid damaging them.
“You and I have no grievances. Why are you doing this?” Lin Langyue asked.
She was indeed beautiful.
Lying in the pit, her hair disheveled, her lips slightly parted, her delicate face flawless like jade, she looked even more enticing without the cold, distant aura she usually exuded.
Li Ran replied indifferently, “I made a promise to an old man. If I ever meet the direct disciple of the Central Heaven Sect’s Master, I must give them a good beating.”
“An old man?” Lin Langyue frowned.
The Central Heaven Sect was known for staying out of disputes, so where could such a deep grudge have come from?
“And another thing…” Li Ran sneered, “I hate hypocritical saintly pretenses the most. Aren’t you supposed to be the moon hanging high in the heavens? Well, I’ll drag you down to earth myself!”
“You—!” Lin Langyue’s eyes flashed with anger.
This demon dared to insult her like that? She had never been so humiliated!
Li Ran’s eyes turned dark red, “Are you ready?”
“Huh?” Lin Langyue was momentarily confused.
His muscles tensed, and his body erupted with spiritual energy, forming flames that extended an inch from his body. His fist shot forward like a comet.
Boom!
The protective glow shimmered brightly, blocking the punch. The bricks beneath it shattered explosively.
“Stop wasting your strength. This is the Immortal Treasure ‘Wind Spirit Jade.’ It can withstand a full-force attack from a Late Nascent Soul stage cultivator. You can’t break it,” Lin Langyue shook her head.
Li Ran’s smile turned cold, “Enough talk.”
He threw another punch.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
His body was enveloped in blood energy, turning him into a relentless beast. His fists rained down like a storm, each punch faster and stronger than the last!
The ground shook violently, as if an elephant herd had passed by. The entire area trembled.
The protective barrier began to flicker. Initially, it absorbed the force of his attacks, but as his onslaught continued, it started to waver.
Lin Langyue’s mouth slightly opened, her eyes finally showing fear.
This was the ‘Wind Spirit Jade,’ and it was about to be broken by a Golden Core stage cultivator through sheer physical force? The recoil alone should have killed him by now!
A crisp “crack” sounded in her heart.
Lin Langyue’s face paled as an unprecedented sense of fear engulfed her, making it hard to breathe.
Through the protective glow, she saw those cold, violent eyes, and it felt as if her heart was being squeezed.
A thought suddenly crossed her mind:
‘So, I am afraid of death after all.’
Watching that man strike again and again, every tremor of the protective shield made her heart shrink more.
Lin Langyue had killed people before, but it was always a complete, one-sided domination, ending the battle with spells from a distance. When had she ever experienced such a beast-like fight for life?
‘How can such a monster exist, who is both a master of spells and physically formidable? I… I can’t beat him at all…’
For the first time, her once steadfast resolve wavered.
Bang!
Li Ran’s fist struck the fracture line.
The protective shield, like a cracked eggshell, was covered in countless fissures.
With a light cracking sound, it shattered into points of light and disappeared.
The ‘Wind Spirit Jade,’ capable of withstanding a Late Nascent Soul attack, was broken.
Lin Langyue lay completely exposed.
Her face was pale, her eyes filled with fear, lying on the ground like a delicate lily.
Li Ran’s smile was ferocious, “You think you’re the moon in the sky? Watch how I shatter you!”
Without hesitation, he raised his fists and brought them crashing down!
The onlooking righteous disciples shuddered at the sight.
That was Lin Langyue!
The Central Heaven Sect’s top disciple, the righteous path’s number one prodigy, known for her innate Dao body!
And now, she was being ruthlessly beaten into the ground by Li Ran?
After today, this news would surely spread across the lands. The name of the demon Li Ran would become a nightmare for every prodigy!
“Who the hell can stop this demon?” Everyone felt a deep sense of helplessness.
Luo Yong’s legs trembled, and his pants were wet.
The person he had called ‘Brother Bang’ earlier turned out to be the Holy Son of the Hidden Gauze Sect!
“The Hardness Sect? It’s a good thing I didn’t say anything too offensive, or my body would be hard and cold by now!”
Outside the ruins.
The Vice City Lord’s legs were shaking as he said in a trembling voice, “City Lord, shouldn’t we intervene? Someone’s going to die if this continues!”
Xiang Ze swallowed hard and said, “Easy for you to say! I’m afraid of getting beaten up too!”
The Vice City Lord: “…”
But Xiang Ze couldn’t just sit idly by. If Lin Langyue died here, Qingzhou City would face the wrath of the Central Heaven Sect.
That would be a disaster!
Taking a deep breath, Xiang Ze gritted his teeth and charged in, shouting, “Holy Son, please show mercy!”
“Get lost!”
Before he could finish, he was kicked back out.
“….”
Xiang Ze struggled to his feet and sighed, “This is really a disaster!”
He flew into the air, his clothes billowing, and a blue mark lit up between his brows.
A formless wind gathered in his hands, eventually forming a giant storm hand.
It swirled with rotating air currents, making a terrifying howling sound.
“Stop right now!”
Xiang Ze shouted, and the storm hand slammed down!
The ground shook!
Bang!
A figure broke through the storm and instantly appeared before him, staring at him with dark red eyes devoid of human emotion.
Xiang Ze’s heart clenched, and he forced a smile, “Holy Son, please calm down. Take a deep breath.”
Seeing Li Ran’s eyes slowly clearing, the blood energy receding into his body, Xiang Ze sighed in relief.
“Who the hell are you?” Li Ran asked, frowning.
Xiang Ze quickly replied, “I’m Little Xiang, the small city lord of Qingzhou City. Greetings to the Holy Son.”
“Was that you slapping me just now?”
“Of course not! I was just fanning you because you looked too heated.”
“….”
“By the way, where’s Lin Langyue?”
Li Ran turned around, realizing she had disappeared.
At that moment, her ethereal voice echoed through the air, “Li Ran, I will remember today’s humiliation. I will repay it tenfold in the future!”
“Still talking tough? Looks like I didn’t hit you hard enough!”
Li Ran’s eyebrows shot up as he rolled up his sleeves, ready to chase after her.
“Wait, wait, wait, Holy Son!”
Xiang Ze hurriedly stopped him, advising, “You’ve already won. Everyone saw it. Why bother chasing her? Besides, Lin Langyue is a woman. It wouldn’t look good if word got out!”
Li Ran glanced at him and raised his fist, “You don’t understand a thing. Women are meant to be cherished!”
Xiang Ze: “…”
