C546 Cao Lan Was Beaten
At that moment, an angry voice came from behind.
Turning his head, Ling Jian saw Cao Lan walking over with quick steps, his eyes filled with darkness.
He quickly walked towards Ling Jian, his gaze gloomy. Previously at the Dan Family's medicinal pill exchange venue, because the Dan Chi Family Head was present, he had some misgivings. But now that the Dan Chi Family Head had already left, he no longer placed Ling Jian in his eyes.
In his opinion, even if Ling Jian's cultivation was higher than his, he would not dare to easily offend an alchemist.
"I hope that you won't get involved in tomorrow's Pill Battles."
Cao Lan furiously said.
"Why?"
Ling Jian smiled but did not say anything.
"No matter what, my master is a spirit grade alchemist. As for you, you are probably not even an ordinary alchemist. What qualifications do you have to compete with my master?"
He spoke coldly.
In Cao Sheng's opinion, Ling Jian was merely a swindler who was trying to swindle others. If it wasn't for the Dan Chi Clan's Patriarch doing this, it wouldn't have been so troublesome the next day. Yet now, he actually wanted his master to duel with such a figure tomorrow.
"I, Ling Jian, am a man of my word. Since I dare to agree to the appointment, I will definitely go. Why do you have to wait for such a short period of time?"
Ling Jianhan said.
Without further ado, he turned around and left with Mu Qiurou, heading towards an inn that he had previously locked onto.
Watching Ling Jian's movements as he walked away, killing intent flashed across Cao Sheng's eyes as he said coldly, "Good lad, I gave you face, but you're shameless, right? Do you believe that I won't let you die in Mixed Heaven City today?"
When Ling Jian heard this, it was as if he did not hear the other party's threat that posed no threat at all.
However, the Six Demons that had been coiled around his arm could not restrain themselves. With a sudden twist of their bodies, they transformed into Ling Jian's phantom image. Like a god of slaughter, they suddenly blocked in front of Cao Lan.
"If you dare to speak any more words that aren't inferior, I'll kill you!"
The six devils' hoarse voices fell at the same time. Then, the body that was still between the snake tail and the human leg suddenly smashed towards Cao Lan furiously.
"Scram!"
Cao Lan was so frightened that his face turned pale. He had always felt that Ling Jian was the greatest threat. However, he had never imagined that even a pet fierce beast on Ling Jian's body would be so formidable.
However, since Cao Lan dared to be so unbridled, it was naturally impossible for him to not have any confidence. The expressions of the two guards beside him suddenly changed, and they could only brace themselves and attack the Six Devils.
At this moment, the two guards at the peak of the Spiritual Dao all felt a tremendous pressure. If it was any other day, they would definitely choose to avoid it.
But now, they did not dare to do so because behind them stood a person, Cao Lan.
Although Cao Lan was just an ordinary alchemist hired by the Zhao Family, his status and identity in the Zhao Family was outstanding. Even the Zhao Family's Patriarch, Zhao Yue, had to be courteous to him.
The power behind him was so powerful that it was impossible for two guards to withstand it.
The Zhao Family spent a huge sum of money to hire them to protect Cao Lan. If Cao Lan died here today and they were alive instead, the final result could be imagined.
Hence, at this moment, they could only brace themselves and face the Six Devil Transformation's Ling Jian to block it.
Peng!
A violent sound was emitted. The two of them felt an enormous force pass through their arms into their bodies, causing them to nearly shatter into pieces. They were extremely shocked in their hearts.
Pu!1
The two of them were no longer able to endure the devastation of that overbearing spirit energy, and their bodies fiercely flung backwards. They were both sent flying backwards, and they vomited blood madly without any regard for their lives.
Although Cao Sheng dodged this attack, he stood behind the two of them. At this moment, as the two of them were sent flying, it was naturally difficult for him to escape being sent flying.
Peng!
The two figures ruthlessly smashed onto his body. Almost instantly, Cao Lan fainted. After all, he was only at the Martial Dao Realm. Even though the two of them blocked most of the power, he was still unable to withstand it.
After the Six Devils' attack succeeded, the Ling Jian phantom image quickly disappeared. In a flash, it transformed into a small snake and fell back onto Ling Jian's arm.
All of this happened in a split second. It was unbelievably fast. By the time everyone reacted, Cao Sheng had already fainted.
Because it was on the main street, there were also a lot of people.
When they saw the faces of both sides clearly, there was even an uproar.
All along, fights were forbidden in the Mixed Heaven City. This was the rule set by the Zhao, Qin, and Bing Families. Although the Dan Family did not participate, this rule was actually approved by many people.
Because the Dan Family had always been neutral, many things lacked the shadow of the Dan Family.
"Who exactly is it that dares to hit Alchemist Cao? Who is this young man?"
"When did such a figure appear in the Mixed Heaven City? He isn't from the three great families, right?"
"This young man is so young, yet he's already a Spirit Mirror expert. Seeing that he has such a powerful pet beast, even if his own strength isn't good, he definitely isn't an ordinary person."
"Sigh, he is still young and frivolous after all. He is so young and has offended the Zhao, Qin, and Bing Families. It will not be easy for him to live in the Chaotic Sky City in the future."
...
Everyone shook their heads and looked at Ling Jian with some regret. Although they were all born and raised in the Mixed Heaven City, they had always disliked Cao Lan's character. Now, it was only natural for them to receive retribution.
However, Ling Jian broke the rules set by the three great families in an instant. It was undoubtedly not giving the three great families face.
In the Mixed Heaven City, other than the Dan Family, which had always been neutral, the Zhao Family, Qin Family, and Bing Family were the strongest.
Pffft.
Cao Lan, who was pressed down at the bottom, suddenly woke up and spat out a mouthful of blood. Earlier, he had already suffered some internal injuries. Now, the two of them had been pressing down on his body. He endured the pain and pushed the two guards away.
Only then did he tremblingly walk out.
His eyes were filled with hatred.
He was one of the most influential people in the city, even though he was just an ordinary alchemist. However, he was the only person in the city who was qualified to become a spiritual grade alchemist. His position in the city was... Even the leaders of the three big families had to show respect to him.
Ordinary cultivators of the Glory's Will Path wouldn't dare to offend him either.
But now, he had been beaten up by an unknown brat, and in such a manner.
"I, Cao Lan, have always come to seek revenge for the smallest grievance. Just you wait!"
He fiercely watched the backs of Ling Jian and Cao Lan as they left. He only gritted his teeth as he spoke, but he didn't immediately take a step forward.
He knew that with just his strength alone, it was utterly impossible to redeem his already lost face. Whether it was Ling Jian or that ferocious beast, they were not things that he could deal with. Only by borrowing the power of his family could he pose a threat to Ling Jian.
