#59 - Master Gu, how can I live without you?

"Finally, here he comes!"

Lin Yun was secretly pleased when he heard the news.

If Xie Qian could be eliminated sooner, the Lin family could develop with peace of mind, and he could go out and explore with peace of mind.

"Bao Zhen, let's go."

Without even thinking, Lin Yun grabbed Qing Tan and jumped onto Bao Zhen's back.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

The three little tigers excitedly followed.

There was only one way to return from Yan City.

Lin Yun only needed to get ahead and intercept him.

Before long, Lin Yun arrived with the four beasts on a hill beside the road. He had Qing Tan and the three little ones wait on the hill.

He and Bao Zhen entered the woods by the roadside, chose a good spot, and sat down to wait.

Half an hour later.

Two fast horses came galloping.

One of them was Xie Qian, and the other was a middle-aged man wearing a gray-yellow robe.

Lin Yun extended his mental energy and could clearly feel the faintly fluctuating mental energy on this man.

"He should be Gu Ying, the vice sect leader of the Bloodcloth Sect!"

Lin Yun immediately judged the other party's identity.

In the original story, Lei Bao invited Gu Ying, the vice sect leader of the Bloodcloth Sect, to deal with the Lin family.

Gu Ying was very strong, a Second Seal Symbol Master, comparable to the Yuan Dan realm.

However, Lin Yun had expected him long ago, so he was not surprised. He had a 100% certainty of dealing with Gu Ying.

"Be careful, someone is using mental energy to probe us."

Gu Ying suddenly slowed down and used his mental energy to search for Lin Yun.

"A Symbol Master?"

Xie Qian was shocked and looked around.

"咻!"

At this moment, a cyan-black small sword pierced through the air and shot towards the two of them.

Lin Yun made his move.

[Mission: Kill Xie Qian. Reward: A bottle of Fifth Grade Condensing Yuan Pills.]

[Mission: Kill Gu Ying. Reward: A bottle of Fifth Grade Condensing Spirit Pills.]

"嗡!"

The Youxuan Sword hovered in front of Xie Qian's face. A force blocked the sword's momentum, and Xie Qian's forehead instantly broke out in fine beads of sweat.

"Such strong mental energy. The opponent is probably a Second Seal Symbol Master."

Gu Ying immediately made a judgment.

"I didn't expect a Symbol Master to appear in the small Qingyang Town."

He immediately amplified his voice with mental energy, "I wonder which master it is. Please show yourself. Hiding your head and showing your tail is not in the style of a Symbol Master."

Symbol Master style... Lin Yun, hiding in the forest, curled his lips. Isn't it more impressive to solve you without showing up!

Lin Yun felt he could try. His mental energy was not weak, and his mental energy control had reached perfection.

"咻!"

The Youxuan Sword suddenly rotated flexibly, constantly wandering and flying around Gu Ying and the other, looking for an opportunity to attack.

"Be careful, stay behind me. The opponent's killing intent is strong. He clearly wants to fight us to the death."

Gu Ying immediately got off his horse and protected Xie Qian behind him.

"Master Gu, can you find the opponent's location?"

Xie Qian asked in a low voice.

"I can't find it. The opponent's mental energy is well controlled. I can't find his location at all."

"But don't worry, my mental energy is no weaker than his. Hmph, he's consuming more energy with such remote control. Let's see how long he can last."

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Gu Ying's mouth. His mental energy quickly gathered and slowly condensed into a phantom needle only as thick as a finger.

"Mental energy materialization!"

Lin Yun was slightly surprised. He was tempted by this method.

"If you don't come out again, don't blame me for being impolite."

Gu Ying shouted coldly,

"Transformation Needle."

The phantom needle condensed from mental energy flew flexibly and crashed into Lin Yun's Youxuan Sword.

The needle and the sword chased each other in the air, making a clanging sound.

Xie Qian watched from the side, dazzled and trembling.

The target of the Youxuan Sword seemed to be him, and it almost took him away several times, but fortunately it was blocked by Gu Ying's mental energy.

As time passed, the two men's mental energy battled. The Transformation Needle and the Youxuan Sword clanged in the air, and waves of aftermath rippled around.

"How can it last so long..." Gu Ying's face became increasingly ugly, sweat had appeared on his forehead, and his breathing was not smooth. He had to separate part of his strength to protect Xie Qian and maintain the shape of the Transformation Needle to fight, which caused his mental energy to be consumed quickly. If this continued, he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

He originally thought that the Transformation Needle could quickly damage the sword, but he didn't expect that the opponent's mental energy control was far above him. The sword was extremely flexible and could always dodge his attacks.

More importantly, the opponent's offensive had not weakened, and it seemed that his mental energy had not been consumed.

"Impossible, is it a Third Seal Symbol Master?"

Gu Ying frowned. If it wasn't a Third Seal Symbol Master, it would be difficult to maintain it for so long with remote control, but if it was, there was no need to consume so much to kill a Second Seal Symbol Master.

It seemed a bit redundant!

On the other side, in the forest, Lin Yun sat on Bao Zhen's back, his eyes closed, concentrating on controlling the Youxuan Sword, and then a Nourishing Spirit Pill in his left hand and a Rejuvenation Pill in his right hand, like eating beans, eating one every now and then.

Lin Yun did this for insurance.

After all, Gu Ying was a Second Seal Symbol Master, one realm higher than him.

Although he basically couldn't kill him, he might get injured.

Being injured hurts!

If he could take down the opponent while sitting, why stand?

"Jie Jie Jie... Can't hold on anymore!"

Lin Yun felt the power of the opponent's Transformation Needle weaken, and couldn't help but laugh wildly in his heart.

"咻!"

The Youxuan Sword continued to explode, jumping back and forth, attacking Gu Ying for a while, and attacking Xie Qian for a while.

Gu Ying's face became increasingly ugly, and he already had the intention of retreating.

"You can only pray for your own good."

Gu Ying decisively dropped a sentence, then ignored Xie Qian and quickly retreated, running towards Yan City. As for the horses they had ridden before, they had already died in the previous battle between the needles and swords.

"Ah this..."

Xie Qian's face was blank, helpless, and terrified!

"Master Gu, you can't leave me behind."

"Master Gu! Master Gu!"

"How can I live without you?"

Xie Qian was anxious, and tears welled up in the face of the smiling tiger. He quickly chased Gu Ying, shouting as he chased, heart-wrenching.

"Don't follow me..."

Gu Ying roared loudly.

He knew he couldn't defeat the Youxuan Sword, so he prepared to throw Xie Qian down to block the knife and buy himself time.

"咻!"

The Youxuan Sword shot out from behind Xie Qian, bringing out a string of blood. Xie Qian's body still maintained the action of reaching out to call Master Gu, but his eyes gradually lost their color. With a bang, he fell straight down.

Seeing this, Gu Ying took the opportunity to step on the Transformation Needle and fly directly at low altitude, wanting to escape this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

"It's too late to think about running now!"

Lin Yun sneered, clamped his legs around the seated Bao Zhen,

"A Zhen, catch up with him!"

Bao Zhen exerted force and turned into a black shadow, chasing after him.

The Youxuan Sword followed like a shadow.

Following closely behind, Gu Ying panicked.

He couldn't figure out how the opponent could chase him while controlling the flying sword.

With such powerful means, why still sneak attack?
