Chapter 269: It Won’t Take Long (3)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When they steadied themselves, they looked up and saw that Kuang Hai was nowhere to be seen.
All they could see was scorching flames!
“A True Martial technique!”
“Meltdown!”
Qu Ke looked at the scene in front of him in a daze.
This was the first time he had seen Lin Shen use Meltdown, but he still recognized it as a True Martial technique right away. He was extremely shocked.
Shen Zening had seen Lin Shen use this move before.
However, the power of Lin Shen’s Meltdown was much stronger than before!
The difference was incredible!
After a while, Qu Ke was the first to come back to his senses. With a flick of his sleeve, a violent wind suddenly swept up from the ground, blowing away the surrounding airwaves and dust.
When he took a closer look, the area within a hundred meters of Kuang Hai had already turned into scorched earth. There was even a huge pit in the middle.
Kuang Hai was lying motionless in the middle of the deep pit. His entire body was charred black, and he had long fainted!
With just one look, Qu Ke knew that fire poison had entered Kuang Hai’s system. This injury would probably take a few months to recover.
When he turned to look at Lin Shen, who was standing with his hands behind his back and a calm expression on his face, Qu Ke was already filled with intense surprise and admiration.
Shen Zening was equally shocked.
Previously, when Lin Shen said that it wouldn’t take long, they thought that Lin Shen was just trying to annoy Kuang Hai.
Unexpectedly, it really only took a moment!
Even that was an understatement.
Only seven or eight seconds passed from the start of the confrontation to Kuang Hai’s fall.
If the time taken for the two of them to confront each other was excluded, it took less than a second for Lin Shen to defeat Kuang Hai!
It was simply too easy!
If Qu Ke hadn’t known what had happened or Kuang Hai’s temperament better, he would have suspected that the two of them were putting on an act.
This was too ridiculous!
An elite inner sect disciple with 26 meridians was actually defeated by someone like a lackey. It was simply tragic!
It was such a humiliation!
When he came back to his senses, Qu Ke couldn’t help but look at Kuang Hai with pity.
It was conceivable that Kuang Hai wouldn’t be able to face the others in the future when the news of today’s incident reached the sect.
Not only had he taken the initiative to challenge an academy’s disciple, but he had also been defeated in one move.
On the other hand, with Kuang Hai as a stepping stone, Lin Shen’s reputation would definitely soar!
Wait!
Qu Ke suddenly realized that the strength Lin Shen had displayed just now had already far exceeded that of elite inner sect disciples. Even Qu Ke had to admit that he was far inferior.
Could the rumors be true?
Did Lin Shen really severely injure a Blood Sea Sect cultivator master in the spirit cave?
Qu Ke turned his head to look at Shen Zening. Coincidentally, he met Shen Zening’s gaze, which was also filled with surprise.
It was obvious that Shen Zening thought the same way.
Just as the two of them were feeling shocked, they heard Lin Shen’s gentle voice.
“Senior Brothers, sorry about the waiting. Now that the matter is resolved, we can set off.”
Qu Ke and Shen Zening suddenly woke up from their daze. They looked at Lin Shen’s gentle smile, and the corners of their mouths twitched.
“Junior Brother Lin, you must be joking. We… didn’t wait long. It’s not too late to set off now!” Qu Ke smiled bitterly.
Indeed, they didn’t wait for long.
Lin Shen smiled and boarded the Dragon Fang Flying Ship.
Qu Ke glanced at Kuang Hai, who was lying on the ground not far away. He hesitated for a moment before taking out a flying letter. He condensed his spiritual essence and wrote something before throwing it into the air.
The letter paused for a moment, then flew into the city like an arrow leaving the bow.
Although he didn’t like Kuang Hai’s behavior, they were fellow disciples after all. He couldn’t let Kuang Hai just lie here. At the very least, he could send a letter to get someone from the sect to carry Kuang Hai back.
Immediately after, Qu Ke scattered some medicinal powder to expel the wild beasts around Kuang Hai.
After doing all this, he sighed and boarded the flying ship with Shen Zening.
A moment later, the ship buzzed and rose into the sky. It flew toward the north and soon disappeared into the horizon.
Not long after they left, a few streams of light flew over from afar and landed on the charred ground with a whoosh.
The leader was Han Liang, who had just parted with Kuang Hai not long ago.
His gaze fell on Kuang Hai, who was in the middle of the pit. Han Liang’s expression changed drastically. He quickly walked forward and squatted in front of Kuang Hai to examine him.
A moment later, his expression relaxed slightly.
Although Kuang Hai was seriously injured, fortunately, his life wasn’t in danger. He would recover after recuperating for a while.
After the worry passed, Han Liang couldn’t help but feel shocked.
Previously, when he received Qu Ke’s letter and mentioned that Kuang Hai had suffered a crushing defeat at Lin Shen’s hands and was seriously injured and unconscious, he didn’t believe it.
After all, Kuang Hai had 26 meridians. Even if he lost to Lin Shen, he wouldn’t be so seriously injured that he would faint, right?
However, the situation in front of him undoubtedly explained everything.
Looking at Kuang Hai’s miserable state, Han Liang couldn’t help but look adrift.
With Kuang Hai’s strength, some inner sect disciples could defeat him, but there was no one who could beat him to such a miserable state.
Only those true disciples could do this!
All of them were at the Spirit Accumulation Stage!
Was the rumor that Lin Shen had severely injured a Blood Sea Sect cultivator master true?
Han Liang was adrift for a moment, his heart filled with surprise.
Fortunately, Qu Ke didn’t tell him in the letter that Lin Shen had defeated Kuang Hai in one move. Otherwise, Han Liang’s eyes would probably have popped out.
Seeing that Han Liang was in a daze, one of the disciples behind him finally reminded him.
“Senior Brother Han, let’s bring Senior Brother Kuang back to recuperate!”
Han Liang seemed to have woken up from a dream and hurriedly stood up to make way so that the other two disciples could help Kuang Hai up.
Seeing this, Han Liang frowned and sighed deeply.
If Lin Shen were severely injured in the battle, it would definitely cause unpredictable consequences, but so would Kuang Hai’s injury.
He only hoped that after the news of Kuang Hai’s serious injuries spread, it wouldn’t cause an intense conflict..
