The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
98. Chapter 98: Martial King vs Martial King (1)
It was at this moment that the gaze of the man in black clothes landed on Gu Ruoyun.
Right then, all the blood on Gu Ruoyun's body froze. It felt like a venomous snake wrapped around his neck, making him feel like he was suffocating. Very uncomfortable, to say the least.
"Gu Ruoyun!" Ling Yu's gaze slowly began to turn cold, and he sneered, "This time, you won't be able to escape your punishment, even if you hide behind the protection of the Hundred Herb Hall!"
This woman must die! A ferocious line flashed in Ling Yu's eyes. The waves are growing clearer.
He took a few steps back as he thought about this and looked respectfully at the black-clothed man behind him, "Master Sai, I will leave this matter to you."
‘’Mm''
The man in black spoke in a hoarse voice. His snake-like gaze locked onto Gu Ruoyun. Following which, an intimidating surge of energy shot out from his body. Gu Ruoyun's body trembled under the influence of her aura, and her gaze became ice-cold.
"Link." Gu Ruoyun suddenly smiled. His expression was illegible, "I admire you so much. You have managed to get the Martial King here to support you."
As Gu Ruoyun's voice began to fade, the man in black clothes narrowed his eyes. As if it had become a pair of sharpened twin blades, the two of them were trying to pierce through the young girl's body.
He never expected that Gu Ruoyun would be able to see through his true strength.
For cultivators, only when you break through to a certain rank would you be able to understand all the strength of the rank achieved. Thus, unless Gu Ruoyun was once a Martial King, she should not be able to figure out the true extent of her strength.
However, this little girl could see him only based on the aura his body was giving off. This was something he would never think possible in his life.
He had come to the Azure Dragon Country in secret. Should those people know...
What the man in black did not know was that even though Gu Ruoyun's current level of strength was only as great as a Martial Soldier, she was already at the Martial Honor level in her previous life. He had also remained at the Martial King level for many years. How could he not possibly understand the true strength this man possessed?
"A Martial King? Sacred ... Ling Yu had actually managed to find an expert at the Martial King rank!"
"To the best of my knowledge, Wuqing, the assassin who happened to also be a top expert from the Azure Dragon Country who came and left without a trace was only at the final stage of the Martial General. To think that the Martial King had actually appeared. Is the world going to have a major change?"
"It seems that the Ling family will return to power..."
After hearing the surprised exclamations from the crowd, an arrogant smile appeared on Ling Yu's face.
To be honest, he did not know where the man in black clothes came from. It was he who found it, just because he wanted to borrow the Ling surname as a guise to kill Gu Ruoyun. However, that did not stop the crowd from assuming that this man was someone from the Ling family.
"Ling Yu, I'm a bit curious how you managed to find the Martial King." Gu Ruoyun endured the coldness in her eyes. Instead, he spoke while smiling.
Ling Yu was just about to speak, as the man in black beside him interrupted, cutting him in a hoarse voice, "Are you trying to buy time?"
Hearing this, Gu Ruoyun's smile grew increasingly visible.
That'sthat's true! He tried to take longer.
He only had to wait for Elder Yu to complete his breakthrough to Martial King, then he would be able to fight the man in front of him.
"Great, Gu Ruoyun! You're really trying to buy time." Ling Yu reacted immediately. He raised his finger accusing and angrily said, "Do you really think that someone will come to save you this time? The Hundred Herb Hall? Or the silver-haired man that you have somehow courted? I'm telling you, all that people mean nothing when dealing with Martial King. This time, no one will help you."
