Chapter 55 Wei Jinlin's True Strength!
"Not good!" Hundreds of meters away, Lei Wanchun was about to arrive with all his might.
He saw Wei Jinlin rushing towards the Earth Dragon Beast from afar, only to be attacked from both sides by the mysterious man and the Earth Dragon Beast. His expression changed drastically, and a chill ran down his spine.
The Earth Dragon Beast actually has an owner!
This is a conspiracy against Wei Jinlin!
The mysterious man was chasing Qin Zhonghai to lure Wei Jinlin here so that he could join forces with the Earth Dragon Beast to kill him. Once they killed Wei Jinlin, no one in the surrounding area could stop them.
Who exactly is that mysterious person?
This strategy could not have been devised by someone who was not very familiar with the Genius Bait program.
However, no matter how hard he thought about it, his mind went blank, and he couldn't recall anyone being the suspect.
Seeing that Wei Jinlin was being ambushed, he suddenly stopped on a tree canopy, and had the thought of retreating.
If he were in Wei Jinlin's shoes, he would surely be dead.
He couldn't even defeat the Earth Dragon Beast on his own, let alone with a mysterious person added to the mix. He would never act rashly and go there to his death in vain.
The only one to blame is Wei Jinlin for running too fast and getting separated from the group, which gave them the opportunity.
Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly and turned to run away. Just then, his pupils suddenly contracted.
The situation over there had undergone a dramatic change.
"bluff!"
Over there, the mysterious man and the earth dragon beast were ambushing Wei Jinlin by the open stream. Seeing the calmness on Wei Jinlin's face, the mysterious man frowned slightly.
But he still unleashed a palm strike containing all his power without hesitation.
Once Wei Jinlin is killed, no one in Chiyun County will be able to threaten them anymore, and then the Earth Dragon Beast will be able to do whatever it wants.
He couldn't see any possibility of Wei Jinlin turning the tide and immediately concluded that he was bluffing.
"Roar!!" The earth dragon's sharp claws crossed and swept across, striking Wei Jinlin's chest, abdomen, and head respectively, along with the mysterious man's palm.
Just as Wei Jinlin was about to die on the spot, in the next instant, Wei Jinlin's figure blurred.
With a sharp screech, the mysterious man annihilated Wei Jinlin with a single palm strike, almost breaking into a smile, believing he had succeeded.
Immediately, Wei Jinlin before my eyes vanished like a dream, disappearing with the wind.
At the same time, a strong gust of wind suddenly struck from behind, and a terrifying chill enveloped the mysterious man's entire body.
A hint of fear flashed in his eyes. Oh no! He hit an afterimage.
How could Wei Jinlin be so fast?
At the critical moment, he twisted with all his might, hiding behind the earth dragon beast, and at the same time, he managed to strike backward with a palm.
"Pfft!" Even though he used the body of the earth dragon beast to block half of the palm strike, he still couldn't withstand the terrifying force of the remaining half.
His hand trembled, half of his body went numb, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The earth dragon beast fared even worse, suffering one and a half blows from Wei Jinlin. It howled in agony, its crimson eyes revealing a hint of human-like fear.
"Marrow Cleansing Realm! How is that possible?!"
The mysterious man in black stared wide-eyed and roared in disbelief.
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Wei Jinlin's figure flash by, and he was already like a frightened bird, his face showing fear, and he turned and fled.
A spray of blood erupted from his body, after which his speed increased by almost 50%, transforming him into a black shadow and disappearing into the vast jungle in the blink of an eye.
The earth dragon beast exploded all over, almost turning into a blood beast, and its speed increased dramatically. When it reached a nearby hole, it plunged inside.
"Blood Escape?" Wei Jinlin frowned deeply as he watched this scene.
"The Marrow Cleansing Realm!"
Not far away, Lei Wanchun flew over in utter shock, also looking at Wei Jinlin in disbelief.
Wei Jinlin was actually a Marrow Cleansing Realm expert. Such a big shot was rare even in the prefectural city. I never expected Wei Jinlin to have such powerful strength hidden.
His gaze towards Wei Jinlin revealed a hint of awe, and he said with slight respect:
"I was blind before, and I hope that you, Wei Sizheng, will not take offense at my rudeness."
"However, if I may be so bold as to ask, both that mysterious man and the earth dragon beast were injured. Given Wei Sizheng's strength, why didn't he press his advantage and pursue them?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze sharpened.
Wei Jinlin coughed lightly and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned pale, and his aura weakened, revealing a hint of weakness.
He suddenly realized that Wei Jinlin had a chronic illness and could not easily use the power of the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
Wei Jinlin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and calmly glanced at Lei Wanchun.
Seeing this, Lei Wanchun lowered his head guiltily.
In fact, if he hadn't hesitated and had come straight here, he could have intercepted the mysterious man or the earth dragon beast.
Therefore, he also bears some responsibility for the escape of this human and demon.
He immediately said, "Wei Sizheng's strength is astonishing. He has already seriously injured that mysterious man and the earth dragon beast with his attack just now."
"Presumably, they will no longer be able to cause trouble for some time to come."
"Today's plan can be considered basically accomplished; as the saying goes, 'Don't pursue a cornered enemy...'"
Wei Jinlin interrupted him, saying, "Ten martial arts disciples, and Lu Ming and the others haven't returned yet. I'll go check on them to prevent any accidents from happening."
"As for Pavilion Master Lei, I just saw Pavilion Master Qin seriously injured and fleeing in that direction. Perhaps he is still alive; you can go and look for him."
He pointed out the direction to Lei Wanchun, then suddenly pushed off the ground, leaped onto the treetop, and walked back through the forest.
Lei Wanchun stood in front of the stream, gazing at the dense forest on the opposite bank, a look of hesitation on his face.
Both the human and the demon were exceptionally powerful; even injured, they were not something he could withstand alone.
If he were to go looking for Qin Zhonghai alone and run into those two powerful figures, he would be in danger.
"I told you long ago that recruiting Lu Ming was not a good thing, but you didn't believe me. Now that you've ended up like this because you tried to protect him, you can't blame me."
Lei Wanchun muttered to himself, a cold glint in his eyes. He turned and walked away without looking at the other side of the stream.
Bitter Bamboo Creek.
Lu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wei Jinlin and Lei Wanchun leap away.
In this way, as long as Qin Zhonghai can hold out a little longer before they arrive, he will have a chance to survive.
Qin Zhonghai treated him well; he was his benefactor and elder, so naturally he hoped that Qin Zhonghai could survive.
"Lu Ming?"
At this moment, Chen Feng, Feng Qingzhu, Liu Yiyi and the other ten genius baits, after hearing Wei Jinlin's order to return to the city, emerged one after another from different directions of Kuzhu Creek.
Upon seeing Lu Ming, everyone was astonished.
Chen Feng frowned deeply and stepped forward, shouting, "Lu Ming, what are you doing here? Where did Wei Shi and the others go? Did you ruin the Genius Bait Plan?!"
As he spoke, his aura surged, radiating a sense of oppression.
Lu Ming's eyes flickered; Chen Feng had actually broken through to the Tendon Refining stage.
At this moment, Chen Feng's face was full of pride, and his aura ranked among the top among the ten geniuses.
To break through to the Tendon Refining stage before the major exam—such talent is rare in Chiyun County, and this alone is enough to make one proud.
Lu Ming was about to speak.
Suddenly, a man leaped down from the low cliff beside them, running towards them, his face deathly pale, shouting:
"Wu Yong has gone mad! He killed Ma Sandao and Niu Dali!"
He arrived in a disheveled state, bearing multiple injuries and suffering from disordered qi and blood. He was none other than Chen Ping, the genius from Heishan County.
Chen Ping and Wu Yong from the same county formed a two-person team, while Ma Sandao and Niu Dali were martial artists from Heishui County and formed another team.
Upon hearing Chen Ping's words, Feng Qingzhu, Liu Yiyi, Yun Potian, and the others all changed their expressions and immediately looked around. Sure enough, they did not see Ma Sandao and Niu Dali.
Just as they were wondering what was going on, a blood-soaked figure leaped off the cliff, letting out a terrifying roar, its eyes bloodshot, and charged towards them.
