Chapter 152: Chapter 15 I’m Late [Combined Version]_2
“No need, I’ll do it myself!”
Ling Buyang shook his head and looked at the three people in front of him, “You are unwilling to disclose his whereabouts, quite loyal indeed. However, I wonder… whether Zhang Xuan values gratitude as much as you do. Perhaps, knowing that we would come to capture someone, he has already fled…”
“That’s absolutely impossible!” Liu Mingyue shook her head.
“Impossible? Then why has he not appeared until now?”
Ling Buyang said, “Don’t tell me you are still unaware after all this time? Heh, to run away without even taking you with him or notifying you, is this the teacher you trust?”
“This…” Liu Mingyue and Hong Yi exchanged glances, beginning to hesitate.
Yu Xiaoyu raised her elegant eyebrows, “Stop trying to deceive people here, we know best what kind of person our teacher is…”
“You know best? Good, since you don’t believe it, I will teach you a lesson today to make you understand how malicious people can be!”
Ling Buyang took a step forward: “Kneel!”
Boom!
The formidable soul power of the Dharma Form Realm immediately spread out. Yu Xiaoyu and the other two immediately felt the sky darken before them as if a massive storm was about to descend, threatening to tear them into pieces.
Panic struck their hearts and their knees bent involuntarily as if they would kneel at any moment under the unbearable pressure.
“No…”
Knowing that the opponent was trying to control them with soul energy, Yu Xiaoyu, Liu Mingyue, and the others struggled valiantly, their faces turning red.
At this moment, the might of Heaven’s Path Divine Art became apparent. Even a simplified version contained the power of Heaven’s Path. Although their bones felt as if they were being crushed, they did not kneel to the ground.
“Not very strong, but you have quite the backbone. I am curious to see how long you can last…”
Surprised, Ling Buyang took another step forward.
With just a small step, Yu Xiaoyu and the others felt as if the sky had fallen, as if a great mountain was toppling down on them, rushing towards their faces.
Puh!
Unable to endure any longer, Hong Yi vomited blood and was involuntarily thrown backward, falling seven or eight meters away, his face deathly pale.
Liu Mingyue and Yu Xiaoyu followed suit, also hurtling backward with blood spewing from their mouths.
Ling Buyang had not used any martial arts techniques or zhenqi, but with only his potent soul power, he had inflicted severe injuries on the three of them simultaneously.
Such was the terror of a Dharma Form Realm practitioner!
“Lord Ling, I beg you to be merciful. Although my daughter has been led astray and is disobedient, she was raised by my own hands…”
Not expecting him to strike, Liu Tianzheng hurriedly looked over with a touch of urgency on his face.
“I am Baiyan City’s city lord, Yu Longqing, and Yu Xiaoyu is my daughter. Please show some leniency!”
City Lord Yu came flying over and stopped not far away, cupping his fists in salute.
“Wu Yunzhou, how could this be?”
Lu Mingrong rushed over from behind the crowd in a flurry, pretending to be shocked as he chided, then turned to look over, “These are all students, ignorant and young. Could we spare them for now… We can discuss this matter!”
“Rest assured, both of you, I was just making them understand some things…”
After glancing at the two of them, Ling Buyang didn’t bother to explain but took another step forward. His daunting soul suppression surged like a tidal wave, bearing down on the three of them, causing them to sweat profusely and struggle to speak.
Yu Xiaoyu and the others resisted the immense pressure and slowly rose to their feet.
“Hmm?”
Ling Buyang was slightly taken aback, his face turning grim, “Since you refuse to see reason, then I shall grant your wish!”
He lifted his palm and gently pressed it downward.
Thump!
Just as Yu Xiaoyu and the others had stood up, they once again couldn’t withstand the pressure and collapsed, vomiting blood due to the overwhelming force.
“Didn’t you say that Zhang Xuan wouldn’t abandon you and flee? Now that you are injured by me, where is that teacher Zhang? The person you trust, where is he now?”
With his hands clasped behind his back, Ling Buyang’s robe fluttered as he exuded a formidable presence.
Yu Xiaoyu clenched her fists.
While the other two might not know, she was well aware. Her father must have notified the other party, and if nothing went wrong, they should have escaped from Baiyan City by now.
It’s good as long as they could escape!
Although they were humiliated, as long as the teacher wasn’t captured, they probably wouldn’t be killed; this way, both parties could be considered saved.
“Teacher… he will come!” Liu Mingyue gritted her teeth.
“He will come? Hahaha, how naively amusing. I will now let you see just how ridiculous your thoughts are!”
As Ling Buyang raised an eyebrow, his Power of Dharma Form spread out again, ready to strike down the three before him once more when he suddenly felt the soul energy he had unleashed disappear in an instant, like a droplet of water into the ocean.
“This…”
Ling Buyang’s expression darkened.
As a Dharma Form Realm expert, he knew how powerful his soul power was. Even a Transcendent Mortal 8-dan pinnacle would be directly crushed by such a force, yet now it was gone without meeting any resistance…
Who had intervened, and to what cultivation realm had they reached?
While puzzled, he saw a majestic horse appear in front of him as if teleporting, leaping over ten meters and abruptly arriving before him. A young man stood proudly on its back, gently pulling the reins. The horse lifted its front legs, neighed, and came to a steady halt.
“Sorry, I’m late…”
Upon hearing this voice, Liu Mingyue, Yu Xiaoyu, and Hong Yi immediately felt their tears, which they could no longer control, streaming down their faces.
“Teacher…”
The towering figure on the horse, if not their teacher Zhang Xuan, then who?
