Chapter 853
“This …..”
Qin Mingtian and Lin Lu both froze at once.
If it was said before, they would still feel in their hearts that Lin Ran and his daughter were together and pulling a bit of strings.
But now they were completely disabused of that thought.
Qin Ji’s words undoubtedly said that Lin Ran did not need a backer at all, as he was strong enough on his own.
“Lin Ran!”
Yue Shan looked at Lin Ran, his fists clenched, and the killing intent in his eyes had been undisguised.
“What? Want to make a move?”
Lin Ran smiled.
“If you want to do it, come on, don’t be dilly-dally, what am I afraid of you for?”
Lin Ran laughed, afraid? Now that he was halfway to the Heaven Seizing Realm, he didn’t even put Yue Shan in his eyes, if Yue Shan didn’t have the Yue family as a clan, Lin Ran was afraid that he would have already started killing someone.
Although he was strong enough, as of now, he was still unwilling to offend a large family, as the saying goes, dogs jump to the wall in a hurry, so there were times when Lin Ran still needed to consider other factors.
“Yue Shan, does your Yue family have to take the anger of others for their own affairs? Don’t you forget what this banquet is for, aren’t you afraid of arousing public anger if you want to make a move?”
Qin Qi spoke up.
“Qin Ji, you don’t have to put labels on me! I am afraid that you have forgotten the original purpose of this banquet!”
Yue Shan sneered.
“This banquet was originally a place for those who came out of the Ten Thousand Treasures Spell Formation to exchange ideas, and the square in the middle of the field isn’t used for cut-throat competitions!”
“Cut-throat competition? That’s also for the juniors to spar and compete, why do you have juniors in the Yue family?”
Qin Ji laughed.
“Or are you Yue Shan prepared to go up yourself, to spar with a junior who is two rounds younger than you? You’re not afraid that others will laugh off your teeth!”
“You!”
Yue Shan’s face was ugly and his heart was burning with anger.
“You don’t need to slander the old man here, he is young, but is it age that matters in cultivation? It’s strength that counts!”
Yue Shan’s gaze turned to Lin Ran.
“He killed Compa*s Yang, so he’s qualified to be ranked among us, is it bullying the young with the old when I challenge him to a spar with him?”
“What? He killed Compulsion Yang?”
“Is that the compulsion pavilion’s pavilion master?”
“The Compulsion Pavilion, isn’t that a very powerful sect?”
“Oh my god it’s unbelievable!”
A kind of people around were stunned, many of them were amateurs, a compulsion pavilion was strong in their eyes, but no one expected that the compulsion pavilion’s compulsion Yang had actually died in Lin Ran’s hands.
Moreover, this was coming from Yue Shan’s mouth, this credibility was simply 100%.
“Kid! You dare to accept old man’s challenge!”
Yue Shan looked towards Lin Ran with madness in his eyes.
Lin Ran’s arrival in the imperial capital this time was his last chance, and if he could not kill Lin Ran this time, I was afraid that he would really have no chance in the future.
After all, Lin Ran’s growth rate was so terrifying that he already felt vaguely out of his depth in his heart.
“A challenge? What about the lottery?”
Lin Ran smiled at his words.
“To each his own life and death, how about if the old man loses a number of times, you can come to the imperial capital as you please in the future, and we Yue family members will automatically evade wherever you go!”
Yue Shan sneered.
“But if you lose, you will not be allowed to leave Temperance City for the rest of your life, do you dare to take it?”
“You’re really shameless, if you win I can only stay in Temperance City, if you lose you just avoid me, don’t you think you’re too shameless?”
Lin Ran laughed.
“Then what do you say!”
Yue Shan looked at Lin Ran with anger in his eyes.
“You lose, your Yue family members automatically avoid me, while every time you meet you have to shout, “I’m a pig, I’m no match for Lin Ran!””
Lin Ran laughed.
“You!”
Yue Shan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, while Qin Jie Qin Feng and the others at the side were all laughing.
“Don’t be unconvinced, if I lose, I’ll never be able to leave Temperance, so you’ve still earned it!”
Lin Ran laughed.
Yue Shan was silent as he pondered for a moment before finally speaking with a grit of his teeth.
“Fine! I’ll comply with you!”
“Humph! When I kill you, shout the words! You won’t hear a single word!”
Yue Shan sneered in his heart.
Following the two men straight up to the middle square, all eyes were immediately drawn to them.
Especially Qin Bing’s family, this might just be a bet and a fight to others, but to them it was a matter of their family’s future son-in-law’s safety and security.
“Elder Qin Ji, aren’t you going to help?”
Lin Lu busily stepped forward and asked, she liked Lin Ran very much and couldn’t help but be a little worried at this point.
“Don’t worry, you guys are not clear about Lin Ran’s strength, but I am clear, Yue Shan wants to kill him, hehe basically impossible!”
Qin Qi laughed blandly, his chest secure.
“Elder Qin Qi, is Lin Ran really that powerful?”
Qin Mingtian couldn’t help but ask as well.
He and Lin Lu were both ordinary people who had never been exposed to the cultivation path in their lives, but as a member of the Qin family he still knew some things about it.
“Let me put it to you this way!”
Qin Qi said with a bland smile.
“Yue Shan fought Lin Ran twice, the first time he was beaten up violently, the second time he didn’t because of some reasons, and this is the third time, and I shouldn’t need to say more about the result!”
“What?”
Qin Mingtian and Lin Lu were both shocked when they heard that.
He was the most famous among all the elders of the Yue Family, perhaps there were more powerful people hidden in the Yue Family, but at least so far, Yue Shan was the only one who could represent the Yue Family.
“Mom and Dad, don’t worry, Lin Ran isn’t someone who doesn’t know the sky is high, he won’t take it hard if he’s not sure!”
Qin Bing also said with relief from the side, but seeing her parents so nervous about Lin Ran made her happy from the bottom of her heart.
“Ai! Such a good son-in-law, don’t let anything happen to him, or else where can I find you a second one!”
Qin Mingtian lamented.
Qin Bing, on the other hand, listened with a blush on her pretty face and said in shame.
“Dad what are you talking about, so as if your daughter can’t get married!”
“Er …..”
Qin Mingtian had an embarra*sed look on his face.
While the family was talking, Lin Ran and Yue Shan above the square were already standing on top of each other, and a big battle was about to break out.
“Little Lin Ran, it’s not too late for you to regret it!”
Yue Shan looked at Lin Ran with disdain in his eyes.
“Regret? What do you have to make me regret?”
Lin Ran laughed.
“The first time you were beaten by me like a dog that lost its home, and the second time you didn’t get half the benefit, you think that this time will be different?”
“Hmph! Don’t know the sky is high! I dare to make this bet today, do you think I’m here to play along for you?”
Yue Shan laughed, with madness in his eyes, following which he only saw him slowly stretch out his palm, and on his palm, there was actually a black gla*s ball lying quietly.
The gla*s ball was the size of a fist, and it looked dark and bright, and with the light around it, it looked even more translucent.
“Hmm?”
Seeing this gla*s ball, Lin Ran’s eyes instantly went icy cold.
Some of the people around him who knew what they were looking at even sucked in cold air as they exclaimed one by one.
“This ….. This Yue Shan is too shameless, actually using something like this!”
“Ai! Who would have thought that an elder of the Yue family would actually have to use this against a young junior, it’s really a shame!”
“You can’t say that, the king is the king, as long as he can win, it doesn’t matter what he uses anymore!”
The crowd around them were talking.
Chapter 854
“Elder Sage what is that?”
Qin Bing asked busily when he saw it.
“Yeah, what is that thing? How come everyone doesn’t seem to think highly of Lin Ran anymore?”
Lin Lu and Qin Mingtian were also busy coming over, hearing the chatter of the crowd, they couldn’t help but worry for Lin Ran as well.
“That’s a Yuan Qi pearl!”
Qin Ji’s face was grave and his brows were furrowed, clearly a little worried too.
“A Yuan Qi pearl? What’s that thing?”
Qin Bing asked busily.
“A Yuan Qi pearl, a heaven and earth treasure that contains the natural power of heaven and earth, using it can boost one’s strength for a short period of time!”
Qin Ji frowned and said.
“Boost strength for a short period of time?”
The three of them were stunned at Qin Bing’s words, and their hearts couldn’t help but all lift up.
Yet Qin Qi was seemingly not finished and continued.
“Moreover, this Yuan Qi pearl is naturally bred in the heaven and earth, so using it to boost strength will not backfire on the user after the effect has pa*sed!”
When he said this, Qin Qi said no more.
Instead, Qin Bing and the three of them had already heard and understood.
In other words, at the beginning, the strength of Yue Shan that Lin Ran had to face suddenly increased, but even if Lin Ran survived this time, Yue Shan would merely return to his usual level, and there would be no such thing as a period of weakness.
And Lin Ran had to face Yue Shan’s real strength as well as the strengthened Yue Shan the whole time.
This situation was indeed very unfavourable to Lin Ran as well.
“So, does he still have any hope of winning?”
Qin Bing couldn’t help but ask.
“Don’t worry, this Yuan Qi pearl is also limited in boosting strength, as long as it’s not the last straw that crushes the camel, Lin Ran will definitely be able to resist!”
Qin Qi said indifferently.
Hearing this from him, the three Qin Bing people were relieved.
However, Wang Yifeng was not so nice, and when he saw Yue Shan take out the Yuan Qi pearl, he was so angry that he cursed.
“You old B*****d, you’re old enough to be Lin Ran for two rounds, a bet is a bet, and you’re still F**king high, do you have any shame left?”
“The imperial capital is your Yue family’s territory, and Lin Ran is younger than you, and now you’re still high on drugs, the Yue family is really an eye-opener for me!”
“What, is there no one else in your Yue family? Letting you, an old thing, stand out and get high on drugs to fight a junior? What a show!”
“Tomorrow’s news headline will be: Yue Shan of the Yue family, drugged up to fight a 20-year-old boy, and got his cherry blown off!”
“D*mn fatty, what are you talking about, at his age, why don’t you go!”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but dislike him, if you scold, how can you still let yourself go to the chrysanthemum, as far as Yue Shan’s age is concerned, even a dog wouldn’t be happy to let a dog go.
“Ranzi, you just give in, this old thing is more and more difficult for me to see, later you have to clean him up for me, simply for the old man, shameless, do not Bie face!”
Wang Yifeng said angrily.
“You!”
Yue Shan was so angry that his face turned blue, he fiercely turned his head and looked at Lin Ran.
“Your friend talks a lot of nonsense, I’ll beat you down later, I don’t know if he’ll still be able to talk!”
Saying this, Yue Shan directly charged towards Lin Ran with an arrow step.
At the same time, the Yuan Qi pearl in his hand shattered with a bang, and a black aura instantly poured out into his body.
“Suffer death!”
Yue Shan had instantly arrived in front of Lin Ran.
“Holy Sh*t! Shameless, I’ve already caught and filmed it, Yue Shan you still sneak attacked, wait until tomorrow to be on the news, I have to stink you up!”
Wang Yifeng said angrily.
“You!”
Yue Shan was so angry that he was about to explode, if he didn’t have a bet with Lin Ran at this moment, he would have already rushed off the stage to fight for Wang Yifeng’s life.
“You what you! You’re so old and you’re still stealing attacks, you really don’t want to have a Bi face!”
Wang Yifei cursed angrily.
“Arrogant brat! Insolent little boy! You wait for me, after killing Lin Ran you’ll be next!”
Yue Shan was completely furious.
“Gentlemen still not making a move?”
Qin Ji’s face turned cold as he shouted aloud.
At once, two or three old men around them who were about Qin Qi’s age all stepped forward.
They flicked their fingers, followed by several rays of light that all converged above the square.
A transparent formation instantly enveloped the square.
“Lin Ran this is a defensive formation, the battle between you and Yue Shan won’t spread outside, so feel free to strike!”
Qin Qi spoke up and reminded.
“Good!”
Lin Ran smiled at his words, and it was a cold smile that appeared at the corners of his mouth.
It wouldn’t spread to the innocent, then he had no worries.
“Yue Shan! Forcing your way up in strength, but you’re still a piece of Sh*t in my eyes, listen up! Three moves will send you away!”
Lin Ran said indifferently.
“Arrogance! I’d like to see how you can send me away in three moves!”
Yue Shan laughed, followed by his palm directly reaching out and grabbing Lin Ran’s chest.
“Watch out! First move!”
Lin Ran smiled faintly, followed by his hands fiercely clenching his fists, and with his feet underneath him, his body suddenly twisted in a quick burst, and in an instant, he was already in front of Yue Shan.
“Catch the fist!”
Lin Ran coldly shouted, following which both fists swung out fiercely, rushing towards Yue Shan’s hand.
“Arrogant!”
Yue Shan’s face was filled with disdain, if he hadn’t dared to fight Lin Ran so hard before, but he himself had used the Yuan Qi pearl at this moment, and his surge in strength had filled him with confidence as he directly met him.
“Bang!”
The two fists collided, and a muffled sound immediately rang out throughout the banquet hall.
Everyone was surprised to see that the defensive formation that enveloped the square could not help but tremble.
And within the formation, Yue Shan’s entire person actually flew straight to the point of flying out, smashing heavily on top of the defensive formation.
“How is this possible!”
Yue Shan hurriedly stood still and looked at Lin Ran with shock in his eyes.
“Half-step Heaven Seizing Realm, how can you be half-step Heaven Seizing Realm!”
Yue Shan’s entire face turned pale.
To think that he, Yue Shan, had cultivated for most of his life but had always been stuck at the peak of the Qi Watching Realm, never having a clue as to how far he was from the Heaven Seizing Realm.
But now, the person standing in front of him was not a young boy in his early twenties, yet he was already halfway to the Heaven Seizing Realm.
Moreover, the most crucial thing was that Yue Shan had almost witnessed Lin Ran’s growth with his own eyes, from the cricket he could easily crush to the bottom that even he had to take seriously now.
Lin Ran’s growth had caused him to feel a chill like falling into an ice cave.
“This son cannot be kept, cannot be kept!”
The killing intent in Yue Shan’s heart was unprecedented, if he didn’t kill Lin Ran, I was afraid that with the grudge between himself and him, the Yue family wouldn’t have a good outcome in the future.
“Half-step Heaven Seizing Realm, haha! Lin Ran is really something!”
Qin Qi couldn’t help but laugh even as he watched.
Even though Yue Shan had used the Yuan Qi pearl, he was still no match for Lin Ran at this point, and the victory or defeat of this bet was almost ironclad.
“Yue Shan! This is only the first punch, you’ll have to resist, otherwise it’ll be too meaningless!”
Lin Ran laughed as he followed and slowly walked towards him.
“Arrogance! Do you really think that an old man has no more tricks up his sleeve!”
Yue Shan was so furious that his teeth bared and his hands fiercely joined together, followed by a pitch-black scimitar appearing in his hand.
This scimitar was pitch black, and crucially, it was only the size of a palm, looking very miniature, but the black light that filled it made the onlookers understand that it was definitely not an ordinary magic weapon.
When Wang Yifeng saw this thing, he was stunned, followed by a smile.
“Old man Yue Shan, what is this? Why did you bring out the sword you used to self-gun back then, hurry up and take it back! It’s not too shameful!”
