Translator: 549690339
Seeing Ding Linglong about to pluck the medicinal herb he had discovered first, Wu Mengsheng immediately became anxious. He did not care who she was, and directly berated her: “Stop! What do you think you’re doing?”
Ding Linglong’s outstretched hand froze in midair, a layer of coldness suddenly appeared on her pretty face. She watched Wu Mengsheng indifferently and replied: “And what if I want this Mutated Jade Clear Flower? Are you going to fight me for it?”
Only then did Wu Mengsheng realize he had just scolded Ding Linglong. For a moment, he was at a loss, his complexion somewhat flustered.
“Everything has a precedence. I discovered the Mutated Jade Clear Flower first, how could I just let you take it?” Wu Mengsheng retorted, but his usually strong words sounded somewhat weak.
Fang Lin’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. It was clear that Wu Mengsheng was afraid of Ding Linglong, or more accurately, afraid of her older brother Ding Xuanii. Yet Dinz Linglonz behaved so unreasonablv. Despite the Jade Clear Flower having been discovered by himself and the others first, she wanted to forcibly take it. This arrogance was intolerable for him.
Ding Linglong smirked, her words filled with derision as she said to Wu Mengsheng: “What does it matter if you discovered it first? If I want it, what are you going to do about it?”
Wu Mengsheng’s face turned red with indignation. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, wishing he could strangle Ding Linglong.
“Moreover, who can prove that you discovered this Jade Clear Flower first? I could also say that I saw it first, but just didn’t pick it right away. If you know what’s good for you, get out of my way.” Ding Linglong continued smirking, seemingly not noticing Wu Mengsheng’s infuriated expression.
The commotion drew the attention of other disciples of the Pill Sect nearby. “Wu Mengsheng, do you dare to compete with Sister Ding?”
“You’re really overestimating yourself. Careful, Sister Ding may punish you.”
“Sister Ding, this Mutated Jade Clear Flower belongs to you. No one dares to compete with you.”
Ding Linglong’s followers immediately seized the opportunity to shower her with compliments and mock Wu Mengsheng with their words.
Wu Mengsheng’s eyes turned red, his head lowered and silent, veins bulging on his forehead. Clearly, he was seething.
Xu Shangao and the others were enraged and immediately retort, but there were too many people by Ding Linglong’s side, and they were unable to outshout them.
Fang Lin had been silent the entire time, watching as an observer. Seeing Ding Linglong reaching out to pick the Jade Clear Flower again, he suddenly smiled and said, “Did I allow you to pick it?”
At his words, the place fell silent. Ding Linglong’s face instantly hardened, rage billowing in her eyes.
“Fang Lin, right? It’s none of your business here. Are you trying to go against me as well?” Ding Linglong hissed coldly, her threat not concealed in the least.
Fang Lin scoffed, saying, “This Jade Clear Flower was discovered by me and Brother Wu. What does it have to do with you? If you know what’s good for you, take your dogs and get lost.” “Fang Lin! How dare you!” “Such arrogance! Such insolence!”
“Completely heedless of death!”
“Bold enough to defy Sister Ding, you really have guts!”
Fang Lin’s words had the same effect as pouring a bucket of water into a pan of oil – immediate chaos broke out among Ding Linglong’s followers from the Pill Sect.
They were glaring at him, furious, a barrage of insults not ceased.
Ding Linglong, infuriated, yet laughed. Her eyes glared at Fang Lin like a hooked blade, “Everyone says you’re a lawless brat, but today I see it’s true. You truly are an idiot. You’ve offended Yu Qiufan and still dare to provoke me?”
Fang Lin chuckled. Before anyone could react, he grabbed the Jade Clear Flower, root and all, and quickly put it into his Nine Palace Bag.
This made Ding Linglong freeze. By the time she reacted, the Jade Clear Flower had already been stowed away in Fang Lin’s bag, not even a petal left behind.
“Fang Lin, you’re asking for death!” Overcome with anger, Ding Linglong lashed out with a slap aimed directly at Fang Lin’s face.
Fang Lin’s expression turned icy cold as he easily caught Ding Linglong’s wrist.
Ding Linglong struggled a few times, but she found that she couldn’t break free from Fang Lin’s grip at all. What’s more, his grip was getting tighter and tighter. She felt pain in her wrist, as if it was about to be crushed.
“Let go! Let go!” Ding Linglong screamed loudly, her voice piercingly shrill. Fang Lin snorted, then suddenly gave a jerk, throwing Ding Linglong seven or
eight steps away.
Ding Linglong clumsily fell to the ground, her purple dress instantly smeared with dirt, her hair disheveled.
“Ah, I’ll kill you!” Ding Linglong immediately got up, and from her Nine Palace Bag, she drew a green longsword. With the sword emanating a shimmering light, she rushed straight towards Fang Lin’s face.
“Sister Ding, stop!” “Absolutely not, Sister Ding!”
“Sister Ding, calm down!”
The followers of Ding Linglong from the Pill Sect immediately shouted anxiously. They were much calmer than Ding Linglong was. Right now, Ding Linglong’s actions were clearly a massive violation of the rules of Medicine-seeking Peak, which meant severe punishment.
Ding Linglong didn’t care, her expression was fiendishly hateful, filled with murderous intent. The sword in her hand showed no signs of hesitation, instead, speeding up even more.
“Fang Lin, even if I kill you, the punishment won’t be too severe. My brother is Ding Xuanji, my father is Ding Qianqiu, killing a low-class disciple like you is like killing a mere ant!” Ding Linglong shouted madly, her sword tip already at Fang Lin’s face,
However, Xu Shangao, Wu Mengsheng, and the others who were with Fang Lin remained calm, not showing the slightest worry. Instead, they looked somewhat pitifully and sympathetically towards the aggressive Ding Linglong.
The next moment, Ding Linglong was once again thrown outward uncontrollably, her face filled with incredulity. She was completely stunned.
Her sword fell to the ground. One of her hands was twisted in a strange angle, obviously broken by Fang Lin. Especially prominent was a clear footprint on her chest, Fang Lin’s footprint, from where he had kicked her away.
Boom!
The aura of Human Origin Stage Eighth Layer was released without any cover. Suddenly, those followers of Ding Linglong from the Pill Sect showed expressions of shock, looking at Fang Lin in disbelief, trembling all over.
Ding Linglong lay in the mud without any grace, her state was pitiful, completely a far cry from her elegance from before. At this moment, her mind was filled with shock.
“He’s actually at the Eighth Layer of the Human Origin Stage! How is that possible? He’s only a step away from my brother!” Ding Linglong could hardly believe Fang Lin could be this powerful, but the fact that she was easily defeated by him was undeniable..
