Of course, if it was just some medicine to strengthen one' s body, he didn't mind in the slightest bit. It was easy for Lin Yun to make it.
"You're cunning."
Lin Xiao beamed when he heard Princess Lan Yi Hua's words. "Of course, as your man, I have to be cunning to make sure that I won't lose against others who might covet you."
Princess Lan Yi Hua was speechless. Since when did she acknowledge him to become her man? However, towards a shameless man like this, she chose not to say anything and continued their journey.
Brr!
The sound of waterfall came to their ear. Lin Xiao's ears perked up as he smiled lightly. To be able to find his comrades would be the best.
They turned and saw the waterfall behind the row of trees. Lin Xiao raised his head and it was then he noticed that the waterfall was quite high. There was a figure hanging not far on the edge.
"That's Fan Ling and Xia Ye?" Sui Wenyan asked in shock. The two of them were barely hanging on out there and it seemed that they were in weakened condition that they could fall off whenever.
Lin Xiao's heart turned cold when he saw that. Where's Lin Yun? He rushed over to the wall and began to climb as fast as possible. "You two help them first! I'll search for Yun!"
"Yes!"
"Ok."
Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at the row of wall in front of her and furrowed her brows. It was her first time encountering such high wall and climbed it. However, there was no time for them to hesitate anymore.
Swish!
Lin Xiao reached the top quickly because he had long gotten used to climb steep mountain. Upon reaching the top, he could see that across the river, there were several people. One of them was his younger brother, who looked like he was already at his end with bloodied figure.
His heart was filled with rage.
The other party, Prince Lin Kai, was too busy looking at Lin Yun with mocked expression and tried to humiliate the other party. Because of that, he didn't realize that they got another guest coming from across the river.
*cough*
"You bastard…" Lin Yun seethed.
Prince Lin Kai laughed out loudly. "Since you already act so high and mighty, don't you think that you should back it up with your power? To think that you're this weak and fall into the trap so easily. How humiliating."
"You won't get away from this!"
Lin Yun gritted his teeth and refused to let his pain and injury showed in his expression. He knew that his brother had already offended Prince Lin Kai, but he never expected them to ambush him like this. Since Prince Lin Kai couldn't defeat Lin Xiao fair and square, he chose to use such underhanded method to make sure that Lin Xiao paid for what he did.
How shameless!
He was filled with rage but more importantly, he hated his weak self that didn't manage to fight Prince Lin Kai properly. He was not as powerful as his brother, so this made him a bit weaker than Prince Lin Kai during the duel.
"For someone as weak as you, that arrogant brother of yours really need to be taught a lesson. Through you is the best method, isn't it?"
"You can't kill me unless you want to get expelled."
Prince Lin Kai sneered. "Don't you know that there's something worse than killing you. Even if I don't kill you, you will want to die after this!"
Seeing that Prince Lin Kai attempted to punch him right in the stomach, Lin Yun immediately understood that this prince wanted to cripple him! For cultivators, their power was so important because many of them couldn't live with their power.
What a joke, after living as a powerful person for so long, how could they accept being an ordinary person once again?
Swish! Bang!
Lin Yun, who was bracing himself for the pain, opened his eyes to see his brother had punched Prince Lin Kai's fist away.
"Brother!"
Lin Xiao nodded then looked at the people surroundings his younger brother then looked at Prince Lin Kai. His eyes were so cold as he understood that if he was late, his younger brother would be turned into cripple!
He had seen how Lin Yun suffered as a sickly boy in the past. How could he possibly let his younger brother suffer even more by becoming a cripple because of a person he offended on his path to become the Emperor? He would never be able to forgive himself if he allowed it.
"Kill him!" Prince Lin Kai shouted in anger.
The men swiftly moved forward to attack Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao could easily move away, but he knew that their attack would hit Lin Yun if he moved. So he took out his sword and muttered silently in his heart.
Mountain Sword, First Stance!
Slash!
Second Stance!
Stab!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
The first person had lost his arm while the second one was stabbed in the stomach. Lin Xiao resumed to stand before Lin Yun as he looked at the third person, who stopped midway in fear. The fourth person was unable to stop his charging and Lin Xiao immediately swung his sword.
Light movement, yet the power behind it was more than enough to chop the person's hand!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAa!"
The fifth person was so scared that he turned around and ran without even looking back.
Lin Xiao looked at the third person, who sat down on the ground. His pants turned wet as it was clear that he was unable to stop his natural reaction.
"You…!" Prince Lin Kai's eyes widened. Losing a limb was disastrous for a cultivator at Body Training Stage. They were not powerful enough to regenerate it. As for attaching, there were only very few doctors who were capable to do it.
As Lin Xiao grew closer, Prince Lin Kai shouted while holding his hand, which was swollen since Lin Xiao didn't hold back. "Don't you dare to kill me! I'm the prince of Sun Kingdom! You won't be able to afford offending me!"
"Oh?"
Lin Xiao's eyes were cold, he raised his sword and stabbed the prince before him. Prince Lin Kai's eyes were filled with disbelief while Lin Xiao spat out, "I don't care."
