The Journey To Become The Strongest
Chapter 179 — City of Noula : Disease Outbreaks (16)
Yang Mu used one hand to hold the hilt of his sword, while the other one was behind near the tip of the sword.
Lian Haocun had expected that Yang Mu was using his sword moves, or even using the techniques he had learned, but Lian Haocun was not moving at all, but not because he was unable to move, either, he just doesn't want to move.
Looking at Lian Haocun's expression that was without any fear at all, Yang Mu felt even more annoyed, then suddenly a crack appeared from below that moved towards Lian Haocun!
Lian Haocun dodged to the side, then drove swiftly towards Yang Mu! Yang Mu who had been waiting for ‘coming’ Lian Haocun nearby, laughed inwardly before unexpectedly, his eyes turning blood red!
Surely, Lian Haocun noticed clearly Yang Mu's changes, he had various conjectures on his mind, and sure enough! After Yang Mu's eyes changed color, his body's reflexes, his speed, even his attacks changed drastically to become more ferocious! So that before Lian Haocun could do what he wanted to do, he was already forced to endure under Yang Mu's attack full of energy.
‘What is this combination of sword movement and transformation technique?’ Thought Lian Haocun while holding back the sword attack from Yang Mu, which further drained his Spiritual Qi.
Why is Lian Haocun always avoiding? Because he did not want to kill Yang Mu, because it would definitely make the problem become more complicated, he said, especially if it is used by Guan Hong as a tool to get Lian Haocun out of the Jade Wolf Sect for acting cruelly with his fellow sect members.
Unlike Lian Haocun, Yang Mu seemed to not care at all about it. His attack was not aimed at making Lian Haocun faint, but to inflict a fatal wound that could kill Lian Haocun!
Because, even though his actions were known, he was sure that Guan Hong could put a damper on this matter easily. Unfortunately, from earlier on, not a single Yang Mu attack could inflict fatal injuries onto Lian Haocun!
Indeed, in order to avoid some attacks that he could not avoid, Lian Haocun tried to minimize the attacks from Yang Mu so as not to be too severe, resulting in the consequences, at the same time his brain also continued to search for solutions to make Yang Mu faint. But due to his not-so-good position, plus the narrow cave passage, Lian Haocun really had to be smart to find a gap to attack Yang Mu.
After getting the idea after a minute or so of thought, Lian Haocun immediately implemented it, he pretended to be pushed while closer to the wall, then just as Yang Mu launched an attack, which was instead hit by the cave wall, he pretended to be desperate, Lian Haocun moved dodging to the side as fast as lightning, and hit Yang Mu's neck hard! But right then and there, suddenly a dagger slash aimed at Lian Haocun!
Surely, thanks to Lian Haocun's instincts, he managed to dodge the unexpected attack, although still his waist was injured and shed blood. However, it was truly not severe compared to the injuries he should have gotten if he had not managed to dodge that flying dagger.
“Do Seniors know? Senior act very shameless.” Said Lian Haocun circus while emphasizing the word ‘Senior’. Originally Lian Haocun did not want to look for trouble with Guan Hong, but it was Guan Hong who kept looking for trouble with him, and now, Lian Haocun decided to fight back.
Guan Hong did not respond, but he stared intently at Lian Haocun who was covered in sweat, and had various small wounds on his body. Obviously now is the right time to finish off the person, Lian Haocun's Spiritual Qi and stamina had clearly been drained due to the fight with the Childless Demon Worm children and to endure continuously from Yang Mu's ferocious attacks.
However, even so, Guan Hong could still feel the invisible pressure surrounding Lian Haocun, and voices like ‘Don't bother him, if you don't want to be affected.’ sounded continuously, and then, which made Guan Hong hesitate for a moment.
The pressure that Guan Hong felt, was not like the pressure from someone who had a higher cultivation level, but from the person himself, if described, it was like the pressure of someone with a striped noble bloodline, that was different from ordinary people like Guan Hong.
Lian Haocun waited for the attack from Guan Hong to come, but what he expected never happened. Even Guan Hong did not reply to those brazen words. Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity Guan Hong seemed hesitant to attack him, Lian Haocun quietly left the place.
Because, based on Lian Haocun's keen sense of hearing, there were about three worm children who were heading to where Yang Mu, Guan Hong and Lian Haocun were. And it seemed, their arrival was due to the sound of a sword complaint between Yang Mu and Lian Haocun.
Of course not only that, his own state could be said to be extremely unsuitable for fighting with Guan Hong, so Lian Haocun chose to leave, and recover his nearly depleted Spiritual Qi. But unfortunately, despite escaping Guan Hong, it seemed like Lian Haocun was not allowed to rest.
