In the courtyard, Lin Sheng's gaze fell on the strong figure beside the stone table, a look of speechlessness on his face.
“Gongzi!”
Gou Donglai noticed Lin Sheng at the gate and immediately spoke respectfully, intending to say something, but saw Lin Sheng wave his hand slightly.
“Go brew a pot of good tea.”
“Yes.”
Gou Donglai immediately hurried into the room.
“No need for tea, Ghost Face, no, I should call you Lin Sheng. It’s good that you’re back. I thought you wouldn’t dare to return and planned to leave the city overnight?”
The strong figure beside the stone table turned around, and it was none other than Gong Wei.
As he spoke, a fierce and domineering Aura emanated from him, like a humanoid beast, waiting for an opportunity to suddenly erupt.
“The last time we fought, this Young Master suffered because of your despicable methods. Otherwise, how could this Young Master have lost to you! This time, this Young Master will definitely make you understand what a true Genius is.”
Gong Wei's voice was full of anger as he spoke, no longer able to maintain his composure.
Although many days had passed, every time he thought of how he was brutally beaten by the opponent, left with no power to retaliate, it made his anger surge to the heavens.
As a Dark Star Envoy Disciple and a Transforming Void Grandmaster seed, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? With his arrogance, if he hadn't been wary of the opponent's mental attack, he probably would have stormed their door the very next day.
“Brother Furious Tiger, you and I became acquainted through fighting. Why dwell on the past? We are fellow disciples; we will inevitably help each other in the future, and I hold Master Luo Yin in high regard.”
Seeing the other party's reaction, Lin Sheng frowned slightly and said with a smile.
When he beat him into a pig's head, he knew that the other party might come looking for trouble again in the future. After all, as a direct Disciple of a Grandmaster, a rare and peerless Genius, it was inevitable for him to be arrogant and proud. Having suffered a loss at his hands, he naturally wanted to regain his dignity.
However, after these days passed, he hadn't seen the other party and thought he had given up and wouldn't come. He didn't expect him to still show up.
“Enough with the nonsense. Do you think I’ll let you off just because you’re trying to use Master to pressure me? Ridiculous. If I don’t beat you half to death today, I won’t be able to quell the anger in my heart.”
Hearing Lin Sheng's words, Gong Wei felt even more enraged. A few days ago, Second Senior Brother visited and used the same words, and so did Yi Ye Qing, all trying to pressure him with such talk.
He hated it most when others tried to bind him with these useless rules.
He naturally understood that Second Senior Brother's words were Master's intention, but if he didn't vent this anger in his heart, he would go crazy sooner or later. So, even if it was Master's intention, he couldn't care less right now.
At most, he would apologize to Master later.
No sooner had he spoken, Gong Wei abruptly rose. The hard floor tiles beneath his feet shattered, and he lunged at Lin Sheng like a ravenous tiger, desperate for food.
The shattered tile fragments beneath his feet shot out in all directions, emitting sharp whistling sounds, battering the rockery and flowers in the courtyard into disarray.
His speed was extremely fast, and the terrifying Aura emanating from him completely enveloped Lin Sheng. As he moved, tiger heads and elephant heads appeared on his chest and back, and mottled fur erupted from his skin.
In an instant, he was in front of Lin Sheng, his speed more than a notch faster than during their last encounter.
Two arms covered in thick fur clawed at Lin Sheng's chest like tiger claws. Sharp talons had grown on his ten fingers, glistening with a cold light. A layer of blood-red light appeared on his two hand claws, tearing through the air. This strike went straight for Lin Sheng's chest.
What surprised Lin Sheng was that he actually felt a threat from this strike; it was clear that this attack could cause him some damage.
Swish—
Lin Sheng blocked with both hands in front of his chest, fending off the two tiger claws. Although he felt a threat, it was only a slight one.
With his strength, he could naturally block it easily.
At the same time, a faint, eerie glow emanated from his eyes, intending to influence Gong Wei's mind.
After all, the opponent was Luo Yin's Disciple, and he had received a great deal of favor from Luo Yin these days, so much so that Luo Yin treated him better than his nominal Master.
So even if Gong Wei came knocking again, he didn't want to hurt him.
He had to show respect for Luo Yin, especially since this brat was Luo Yin's most valued Disciple.
To subdue the opponent without harming him, influencing his mind was undoubtedly the best option.
As the eerie glow flickered in his eyes, Gong Wei's eyes immediately lost focus and he fell into a daze, as if his mind had been completely affected.
However, the next moment, Lin Sheng felt a powerful Giant Strength, far surpassing anything before, surge from the two beast claws gripping his arms. It carried his arms, like heavy hammers, and slammed squarely into his chest.
This force had already exceeded a million catties, even nearing the two million catties mark. Such power completely surpassed a Divine Transformation Realm Martial Artist.
Even Lin Sheng's current physical strength, without using various techniques, barely surpassed a million catties.
Bang—
Lin Sheng felt as if he had been hit by a high-speed train. His body instantly flew backward, completely shattering the already disfigured rockery, and then he fell heavily to the ground.
The powerful impact created a crater several meters wide in the ground, and the meticulously laid floor of the entire courtyard was completely shattered.
“Hahaha… Idiot, do you think I’m still the same as before? Your despicable methods are completely useless against me now.”
Gong Wei's tall figure landed with a thud three meters in front of Lin Sheng. At this moment, his body was covered in fur, the 'King' character on his forehead clearly visible, and he looked at Lin Sheng with bloodshot eyes and a twisted smile.
At this moment, he felt stronger than ever before. During this time, he had not only fully mastered the Tiger-Elephant Dual Form, but his cultivation had also progressed. Especially after completely refining the Dragon Elephant Great Bone Pill, his physique was further strengthened, and he successfully activated the Giant Strength within it.
Even against a Divine Transformation Realm Martial Artist, he was confident he could win, let alone a mere Bones Transformation Martial Artist who relied on mental secret arts. So today, he would unleash all the anger he had suppressed for so many days.
“Brother Furious Tiger, you win. Shall we call it even?” Lin Sheng knelt on one knee and slowly stood up. Although he had suffered a loss, his expression remained calm, showing no hint of anger, as if he were discussing a trivial matter.
“Call it even? Hahaha…”
Hearing this, Furious Tiger's blood-red eyes blazed. His two hand claws clenched repeatedly, emitting crisp cracking sounds of bones. He wanted to see the other party's terrified and begging expression, not this calmness and indifference, as if an adult was humoring a naughty child's play, which only made his anger rise instead of diminish.
“I will break your limbs one by one!!”
“Kill!!”
Furious Tiger roared, and a whip kick tore through the air, heading straight for Lin Sheng's neck. In mid-air, his kicking thigh had swollen several times, and the strong wind it generated stirred up the scattered rubble on the ground.
This strike again carried a powerful force nearing two million catties, and under his special technique, it was even a few points stronger than the last time.
Lin Sheng crossed his arms to protect his side and successfully blocked the kick, but his body recoiled several steps backward.
“Kill! Kill, kill!!”
Seeing that the opponent had actually withstood his attack, Gong Wei's eyes became bloodshot, and his body swelled another circle. His entire body was covered in blood-red fur, and his state seemed somewhat abnormal, completely falling into a frenzy, but the Aura emanating from him became even more savage and domineering.
“Tiger Demon True Gang!!”
A hoarse, brutal roar erupted from Gong Wei's mouth. The next moment, he dropped to all fours and lunged at Lin Sheng.
This time, his speed surged again, completely reaching the Realm of a God-Form Martial Artist. His entire body was like a 腥風, instantly covering several zhang, and his face was twisted to the extreme with savagery.
“As expected of an Essence Transformation seed, to be able to reach this point.”
Seeing this, Lin Sheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Although the opponent's strength was not weak during their last meeting, it was far from as powerful as it was now. He had to admit that the Furious Tiger in front of him was the strongest peer he had ever seen.
It was just a pity that his temper was poor; if he didn't change, he might not achieve great things in the future.
Rumble…
In the courtyard, Lin Sheng's figure stood like a spear, veins bulging on his exposed skin. His entire body swelled as if inflated, rapidly becoming engorged with blood, and streaks of crimson patterns appeared all over him. One after another, fleshy lumps emerged, coalescing together.
A thunderous surge of vital energy continuously emanated from his body, and with each breath, it was as if a slumbering ancient demonic beast was slowly awakening.
“Since you’ve made one mistake after another, then I will help Lord Luo Yin discipline you once more…”
At this moment, Lin Sheng's figure had grown to about three meters tall, and he stood rooted to the spot like a human wall of flesh.
He sighed lightly and extended a large hand.
Gong Wei's demon-tiger-like figure froze in place, as if suddenly powered down.
A large, muscular hand rested firmly on his head.
Snap—
With a downward press of the large hand, Gong Wei's entire body, as if bearing a mountain, was pressed to the ground.
He struggled wildly, trying to get up, but he couldn't move at all.
Instead, he was continuously pressed further into the ground by the large hand.
However, Gong Wei soon felt the pressure on his body ease, and the Wanjun burden suddenly disappeared.
Kill!
His eyes blazed with blood-red light, and he instantly leaped from the ground, letting out a roar.
But as soon as he appeared, before his words were finished, a large hand had already gripped his neck.
Another large hand slowly reached out, grabbed his arm, and squeezed gently.
Hiss—
Amidst the crisp tearing sound of bones and muscles, Gong Wei's painful roar also rang out.
Hot blood flowed down, and the thickly furred arm was directly torn off.
Then the large hand reached for the other arm.
“Stop it!!”
Suddenly, a sharp shout rang out from outside the courtyard, and a figure swiftly flew in.
The figure was incredibly fast, reaching the courtyard in the blink of an eye, seemingly intending to stop Lin Sheng's actions.
The figure was thin and dressed in green, it was Yi Ye Qing.
However, this time, Lin Sheng acted as if he hadn't heard, instead speeding up his large hand and directly gripping Gong Wei's other arm.
With a tearing sound and a splash of blood, Gong Wei's other arm was also torn off.
Lin Sheng still showed no intention of stopping, and his large hand moved towards Gong Wei's left leg again.
“I told you to stop!”
Yi Ye Qing's roar sounded again, this time with an uncontrollable rage. He instantly appeared in front of Lin Sheng, raised his hand, and struck out with a palm, intending to push Lin Sheng back and rescue Gong Wei.
Lin Sheng still ignored him, his eyes instantly turned golden, and a layer of reddish-black scales emerged on his palm. He swung his hand, and his palm collided squarely with Yi Ye Qing's.
The two vastly different sized palms collided, and instantly Yi Ye Qing's expression changed dramatically. He quickly pulled back, but it was already too late. His thin body flew backward like a broken sack.
Lin Sheng's large hand returned, tore off one of Gong Wei's legs, and he grinned.
“A dog-like thing, dares to block me?”
“You…”
Yi Ye Qing's lean body twisted continuously in mid-air, finally managing to control his posture and land on the ground, retreating more than ten steps before barely dissipating the tremendous force.
At this moment, his face was extremely grim, and he was also quite horrified.
That palm strike earlier, he was eager to save someone and didn't hold back, but it was he who couldn't withstand it.
Although he wasn't a strength-based Martial Artist, his Divine Transformation Realm of five changes was real, yet he didn't expect to fail to even block a single palm strike from him.
Rip, with the last sound of flesh tearing, Lin Sheng held Gong Wei, who had by now completely fainted. Like a dead dog, he was held in Lin Sheng's hand. Lin Sheng flicked his hand and threw him out.
“Take him away, go back and treat him well. When he wakes up, tell him that next time the outcome won’t be so good.”
Lin Sheng's golden vertical pupils held indifference as he spoke faintly.
“Get lost!”
“You…”
Yi Ye Qing caught Gong Wei. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but facing those emotionless golden eyes, he felt a chill in his heart. He dared not say more, and quickly wrapped up the blood-stained Gong Wei before disappearing into the courtyard.
Watching his figure disappear into the distance, Lin Sheng's body quickly returned to normal, his face full of helplessness, and he pinched his brow.
“Was I too light-handed? He shouldn’t be half-dead yet…”
Exhaling, Lin Sheng considered whether to chase after him and give him two more hits, but then dismissed the idea.
This lesson should be enough.
Originally, he didn't intend to act, but unfortunately, judging by the other party's appearance, it seemed difficult to resolve without acting.
Since he had to act, he might as well resolve it in one go.
It was a pity that as fellow Disciples, he couldn't kill him, but beating him to this extent should leave a psychological shadow on him.
As for Luo Yin, it seemed he would have to pay her a visit.
Scanning the devastated mansion, Lin Sheng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
He had originally planned to return and cultivate in seclusion, but then he encountered such an unlucky incident.
It seemed that in the future, if similar incidents occurred, it would be best to resolve them directly.
Shaking his head slightly, his figure had already disappeared from the courtyard.
Meanwhile, in the pond, the Spirit Bone Python King was at the very bottom, shielding several large koi in front of him. Seeing Lin Sheng leave, the fear in its eyes finally dissipated considerably.
At this moment, its heart was filled with lingering fear.
Fortunately, it didn't choose to sneak attack or escape back then, otherwise, it might have been itself suffering such a tragic fate today.
