Chapter 256: Vulnerable
Gu An and Yang Ni, who were walking in front, could hear the gunpowder in the tone of Yang Jian and Li Lingtian.
Gu An didn't care. After all, it was Li Lingtian who provoked Yang Jian first. Although he taught Yang Jian to be humble, he couldn't be a coward who would be bullied.
Yang Ni didn't expect that Gu An's apprentice had such a hard character. After all, in her impression, Gu An's temperament was very soft.
However, facing Li Lingtian, being too hard is not a good thing.
Although Yang Ni didn't like Li Lingtian, she had to admit that this kid's talent was really ridiculous, and he was simply an immortal.
After a while, the four of them came to the woods.
Without Gu An and Yang Ni speaking, Yang Jian and Li Lingtian had already set up their formation.
Li Lingtian asked, "What rules do you need?"
He could see that Yang Jian's cultivation was lower than his own, so he wanted Yang Jian to make the rules.
He, Li Lingtian, never liked to bully people!
Yang Jian looked at him calmly and said, "Just fight, I will show mercy."
Although he didn't know Li Lingtian's identity, Yang Ni was talking and laughing with Gu An, so he had to give Gu An face.
Li Lingtian was stunned when he heard Yang Jian's words.
This guy is really stubborn!
Li Lingtian didn't think much about it. This was his first battle since he started practicing, and he had been looking forward to it for a full ten years.
"Then let's fight!"
Li Lingtian laughed loudly, moved his feet, and a strong wind burst out, scattering the leaves around him. He rushed to Yang Jian like lightning, and swept his leg across, like a long whip, very sharp.
Yang Jian's reaction was equally fast. He raised his leg almost instantly and blocked Li Lingtian's whip kick with his knee.
Li Lingtian's eyes widened, and the smile on his face became ferocious. Yang Jian's strength made him excited immediately.
"What a quick reaction." Yang Ni stood beside Gu An and commented. Yang Jian surprised her.
Whether it was Li Lingtian or Yang Jian, their speed and reaction alone had surpassed that of a cultivator at the foundation building stage. Yang Ni even felt that she did not have such strength when she was in the elixir formation stage.
It turned out that Gu An was really confident!
Li Lingtian used the force to leap back, his body stretched in the air, he punched out, and his spiritual power turned into a golden dragon phantom to kill Yang Jian.
The dragon roared and echoed in the woods.
Yang Jian did not dodge but advanced, waved his hand to disperse the golden dragon phantom, and killed in front of Li Lingtian in one step.
Li Lingtian's pupils suddenly shrank.
Bang!
Yang Jian hit him in the abdomen with an elbow, causing his eyes to burst open, his mouth to open wide, and blood to spurt out.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Jian's fists and feet were like the wind, launching a violent attack on him, beating his body like a sandbag, and causing it to deform violently and unable to land.
"How is it possible!"
Yang Ni widened her beautiful eyes, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
She knew Li Lingtian's strength very well. Although she had never sparred with anyone, Li Xuandao had prepared many puppets for him as whetstones.
In her opinion, Li Lingtian had already surpassed the foundation-building stage. If he had not spent time practicing magic and supernatural powers on weekdays, his cultivation would have reached the Jindan stage long ago.
Such a demon genius was beaten without any chance to fight back?
Yang Jian's punches and kicks were so fast that even she, a cultivator in the spirit transformation stage, was a little frightened.
As Yang Jian joined the battle, she even caught a trace of extremely dangerous aura from him. She had never felt this way before. Obviously, Yang Jian's cultivation could not threaten her, but she was inexplicably in awe of him.
Seeing that Li Lingtian was about to be beaten to death, Yang Ni was about to take action, but Gu An stopped her.
"Don't worry, Jian'er knows her limits. It's a good opportunity to sharpen the character of this prince, so that he won't be arrogant and offend too many people in the future when he ventures into the world of immortal cultivation." Gu An smiled.
Yang Ni glanced at him, looking at his profile, she was a little dazed.
Why is he so calm?
She suddenly felt that Gu An must have experienced a lot in the years since she left.
The most important thing is how could such a powerful genius worship Gu An as his teacher?
Yang Ni looked at Yang Jian, she had to admit that at this moment, Yang Jian looked like a genius, and Li Lingtian was so vulnerable in front of him, and did not show any talent at all.
Soon, Yang Jian landed, raised his right leg, and caught Li Lingtian's body with his foot.
At this moment, Li Lingtian's robe was torn, his hair was disheveled, his face was covered with blood, and his body looked extremely weak.
Yang Jian slowly put Li Lingtian down on one foot. From beginning to end, his face did not change, as if this battle did not bring him a sense of accomplishment.
Li Lingtian lay on the ground and opened his eyes with difficulty.
Yang Jian stood in front of him, looking down at him.
It was the first time that Li Lingtian looked at someone from this perspective, and his heart was almost collapsed.
He had never expected the battle to be like this...
Yang Jian was faster than him, his punches and kicks were heavier than his, and his cultivation was lower than his...
He could feel that Yang Jian didn't even use his spiritual power, and beat him up with speed and strength...
Why is this happening?
Could it be that I am not the best in the world?
Li Lingtian's eyes lost their spirit, he buried his face in the ground, his shoulders trembling.
He cried.
He couldn't accept his failure.
Gu An came over, and Yang Jian saluted him.
Seeing Yang Jian being so respectful to Gu An, Yang Ni's expression became even weirder.
Gu An came to Li Lingtian and squatted down, whispering: "Your talent is indeed rare in the world, but you must always be in awe of the world. You must know that there are people outside of you and there are heavens outside of you. No one is the strongest. If your opponent today was your enemy, you would be dead."
Li Lingtian clenched his fists and his body trembled more violently.
Yang Ni didn't say anything. After being shocked, she even gloated a little.
Along the way, Li Lingtian's arrogance was really unbearable for her, so it would be nice to have someone to deal with him.
Anyway, she didn't like Li Lingtian, and she was even more unhappy with Empress Yang.
Yang Jian did not speak. He felt that he was not qualified to teach Li Lingtian. The reason why he was better than Li Lingtian was that he had a master that others did not have.
Gu An took out the elixir and fed it into Li Lingtian's mouth.
Li Lingtian slowly got up, and turned to look at Yang Jian. Although his face was bloody, his expression still looked stubborn.
"I don't accept it, I will win it back in the future." Li Lingtian gritted his teeth.
Yang Jian raised his hand, and Li Lingtian was so frightened that he backed away suddenly and hid behind Gu An. When he looked closely, he saw that Yang Jian was actually saluting him with cupped fists.
Li Lingtian breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely embarrassed at the same time. He wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Yang Ni was amused and said with a smile: "How dare you continue to challenge others like this? You should think about how to become stronger."
Li Lingtian took a deep breath, looked at Gu An, and whispered: "Senior Brother Gu, can I stay in your medicine valley?"
He wanted to see how Yang Jian practiced in peacetime.
Growing up, he had hardly been lazy, and even had no friends. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to cultivation. As a result, he faced such a complete failure, which was really difficult for him to accept.
"No problem. If you come to Jian'er for anything in the valley from now on, he will still be your junior after all." Gu An said with a smile. When he heard this, Li Lingtian immediately beamed.
Yang Jian felt a headache.
Ten years ago, he heard Gu An mention Li Lingtian, and he felt pressured by it. Now it seems that Li Lingtian is nothing more than that.
His real opponent is the senior brother he has never met.
In this way, the four of them left the woods and returned to the Third Medicine Valley.
The disciples in the valley saw that the previously high-spirited Li Lingtian had become so miserable, and they were all curious about what had just happened.
Yang Ni didn't stay long. After chatting with Gu An for a while, she flew to the inner gate. It seemed that she came with a mission.
After Gu An handed Li Lingtian to Yang Jian, he went upstairs to read.
Until evening.
Li Lingtian put on clean clothes and walked out of his yard. He didn't see Yang Jian, so he wandered around.
Soon, he was attracted by the disciples playing chess and got together to watch.
Unfortunately, he is not interested in either Go or chess.
His eyes were attracted by the passing Blood Hell Sage.
The Great Sage of Blood Prison was cursing. He had just chased the White Spirit Rat but failed to catch it, and he was feeling depressed.
Li Lingtian walked up and asked, "You have quite a personality as a bull. What's your name?"
The Great Sage of Blood Prison rolled his eyes at him and said, "Bull Demon King, have you ever heard of him?"
After saying that, the Great Sage of Blood Prison continued to move forward, ignoring Li Lingtian.
He remembered Li Lingtian. Ten years ago, he thought Li Lingtian might be a figure, but he didn't expect that he would be helpless against Yang Jian.
waste!
Li Lingtian froze on the spot and muttered: "With Yang Jian and the Bull Demon King, there won't be Patriarch Bodhi here, right?"
Without Patriarch Bodhi, how could Yang Jian be so powerful?
But he didn't think of Gu An as the Bodhi Patriarch because Gu An didn't look strong.
…
It's a hot summer day, in the imperial study room.
Li Xuandao sat at the desk, frowning as he looked at the letters on the table.
After a while, a figure walked in quickly, came to the table, and bent down to salute. This person was wearing exquisite armor, with a majestic appearance, a resolute face, and fierce eyes.
This person is Ye Yan, the disciple Gu An took in Xuan Valley.
A hundred years later, Ye Yan is no longer the mediocre boy he was before, but a general with the aura of a tiger.
Li Xuandao asked: "How much do you know about your master?"
Ye Yan frowned and asked, "My master? What happened to him?"
He did not answer immediately. Although he had not seen Gu An for a long time, he always remembered the kindness. Even when facing Li Xuandao, he wanted to protect his master.
Li Xuandao waved his hand and sent the letter on the table to Ye Yan. Ye Yan raised his hand to catch it and read it carefully.
His expression suddenly changed, showing a look of shock.
"How is it possible... His Highness the Prince's strength is not simple, and he was beaten by a Foundation Establishment monk without the ability to fight back? Yang Jian... the master's disciple?" Ye Yan murmured to himself.
He had met Li Lingtian and even taught Li Lingtian how to shoot.
Li Lingtian's talent made him lament the injustice of the world, and he even suspected that Li Lingtian was an immortal descended to earth.
When he met Li Lingtian last year, Li Lingtian had already shown strength comparable to that of the Danjie Realm.
How could such a genius lose to the Foundation Establishment Realm?
Li Xuandao asked: "With Gu An's ability, he will definitely not be able to teach such a disciple. Do you think there is an expert standing behind him?"
Although he often felt troubled by Li Lingtian's arrogance, he never expected that Li Lingtian would encounter such a failure, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
