Chapter 483
“Insolent little boy!”
When he saw Lin Ran come out, Compose Yang’s face sank as he raised his hand and directly struck out a black stream of air, heading straight for Lin Ran.
“Stop it!”
Sage’s face sank at the sight and he immediately wanted to strike, but before his body could move, Yue Shan in the distance had already arrived close before him, not giving him the chance to strike at all.
“Yue Shan!”
Qin Jie looked at Yue Shan, his eyes full of anger, the reason why Lin Ran and Wang Yifeng appeared here, in the end, it was him who brought them up, although the three of them separated in the middle, but if it wasn’t for him Lin Ran and the two of them might still be in Tanjiang City.
“Sage! It’s no harm!”
Lin Ran understood Qin Jie’s thoughts and said, while his body’s true qi quickly converged on his fists and he faced the black air stream.
“Bang!”
There was a muffled sound, although the true qi in his body blocked most of the force of the black air stream, the huge impact still caused Lin Ran’s entire body to fly backwards, while a mouthful of blood was spat out directly.
“What a strong force!”
Lin Ran was secretly shocked, he had already used his full strength just now, but he was still unable to block this casual strike from his opponent.
“Kid, not bad, you can actually block 10% of my power!”
There was a hint of surprise in Compose Yang’s eyes as he looked at Lin Ran.
Lin Ran stared deadly at Compa*s Yang without a single glance, since he had obtained the Xuan Yang Pill Canon, this was the first time he had felt powerless.
“Is this the gap?”
Lin Ran’s heart was somewhat lost, he knew a lot about feng shui, but he was almost a blank on the feng shui rivers and lakes, he didn’t understand them at all, and because of this, when he was truly deep in this Wan Ren Mountain storm, this feeling of powerlessness almost consumed him.
If he was really strong enough, how could he be afraid of the Compulsion Pavilion? If he was strong enough how could he cooperate with Jain Lao and let himself and Wang Yifeng risk their lives?
“This is the jade flute you want, as long as you promise me that you won’t lay a hand on my friends after you get it, it will be yours!”
Lin Ran raised his hand and pointed to the jade flute which was clearly in his hand.
“It’s really in your hand!”
“This!”
Seeing the jade flute, not only Compa*s Yang, but even Cao Zheng and Granny Meihua at the side couldn’t help but take a step forward, they weren’t fools they all knew what this jade flute meant.
The golden light just now was not just an appetizer, the real treasure of Wan Ren Shan must be behind the golden lock, and this jade flute was the key to the golden lock.
“Kid, are you making a deal with me?”
Compose Yang looked at Lin Ran, his face inside his blood-red robe full of ice cold.
“Right! It’s a deal, if you don’t agree, I’ll immediately crush this jade flute and you won’t get anything!”
Lin Ran wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and got up to look at Compose Yang in a cold voice.
“You’re looking for death!”
Compulsion Yang’s face sank as he smoothly waved out a black qi once again, only this time the black qi was obviously more violent and faster than the last time, reaching Lin Ran’s eyes almost instantly.
“Bang Bang Bang!”
Before the black Qi had actually reached him, the clothes on Lin Ran’s body were already blown to a crashing sound, while several exposed areas of skin directly popped out in blood, with fresh blood flowing.
“Ranzi!”
At the back Wang Yifeng’s eyes were red from watching, he wanted to rush out, but once he did even he himself would have to die in the end.
“Calm down, don’t forget what he explained to you!”
On the side, Ling Sa stopped Wang Yifeng and tried her best to comfort him, but it was no use at all.
“Kid, do you still want to threaten me?”
Compulsion Yang looked at Lin Ran and questioned in a cold voice, the black Qi under his control only stayed close to Lin Ran and kept torturing him, not killing him outright.
“This is my bottom line, you can make a move to kill me, but I also like to promise you that before you kill me, I will crush the jade flute!”
Lin Ran was covered in blood and his gaze was cold as he looked at Compa*s Yang without wavering for a moment, even as his fingers had already squeezed the jade flute, which would immediately turn into pieces as soon as his mind moved.
“Stop it!”
Seeing this scene, Compose Yang couldn’t help but get nervous, forcing was only a means, but the end was still the jade flute, if Lin Ran really put up a fight and burned the jade flute, it would be more than worth the loss.
“Compose Pavilion Master, you should understand that this is my last request, as long as you agree this jade flute will be yours immediately, don’t force me!”
The blood on Lin Ran’s body had already stained the ground red, his face was white, if it wasn’t for the true qi in his body still struggling to support him, I’m afraid he would have collapsed from blood loss by now.
“Good! I promise you, you can stop now!”
Compose Yang looked at Lin Ran and said in a cold voice.
Lin Ran, however, laughed bitterly before pointing at the Ghost Doctor.
“And him!”
“Don’t you get ahead of yourself! Even if I make him make an oath, so what, do you think that if my Compulsion Pavilion and the Ghost Doctor Sect don’t do it, I’ll find someone else to do it?”
Compulsion Yang looked at Lin Ran and chided in a cold voice.
“I naturally believe in your strength, but this is my business, not yours!”
Lin Ran said in a cold voice.
Compose Yang’s face turned blue at his words, and after a moment of contemplation he eventually compromised.
“Make a vow!”
Compose Yang looked towards the Ghost Doctor, who shook his head helplessly, and then made a vow anyway.
“Kid, you can hand it over now!”
Compulsion Yang looked at Lin Ran and said in a cold voice.
“Naturally!”
Lin Ran said with a bitter smile, following which he turned his head to look at Qin Jie.
“Elder Jie, this is all I can do, if the Compulsion Pavilion still refuses to spare my friend in the future, I still hope you can help me, this favour is taken down by the brat!”
After saying that, Lin Ran flung his hand and instantly threw the jade flute at Compa*s Yang.
“You!”
Qin Qi shook his head as he looked and spoke.
“You think things are too simple, if the Compulsion Pavilion really wanted to strike, they could just fire two random disciples and strike at your friend as usual, this won’t solve the problem at all!”
“But I don’t have a choice!”
Lin Ran looked at Qin Qi and said helplessly.
Indeed, he was not strong enough and had no choice at all, either to die now or to die again in exchange for a little condition, he really didn’t have a single option.
On the other side, as soon as Compose Yang got the jade flute, at once Cao Zheng and Granny Meihua moved. Even though there were Ghost Doctor and Yue Shan on the opposite side at this time, it was still not an easy task for three against two to take the jade flute and go smoothly to open the golden lock.
And in the end, the higher the strength of this Wan Ren Mountain’s treasure, the greater the backlash, compelling Yang to do it himself that was almost hopeless.
“Wait!”
Compulsion Yang looked at Granny Plum Blossom and Cao Zheng who were blocking the way, and spoke with a twist of thought.
“It’s not too early to fight before we see the real treasure, I propose to let this kid take the jade flute to open the lock, once the lock is opened, the treasure will be revealed then how about each according to their abilities?”
Compulsion Yang’s words still had an effect, both Granny Meihua and Cao Zheng did not speak for a while, while Lin Ran was listening with a bitter smile, at this point, Compulsion Yang still wanted to use him.
“Compose Yang, don’t go too far, the Jade Flute is already yours, do you still want to drive him to extinction!”
Qin Qi’s face was icy cold as he looked at Compulsion Yang with a deadly glare.
However, Compose Yang was unconcerned and said in a cold voice.
“Qin Ji, since he has appeared, there is no chance of him leaving alive today, for the sake of a hairy boy, do you really want the Qin family to go against my Compulsion Pavilion?”
“You!”
Qin Ji was dumbfounded with anger at his words, even if he himself was fine, if he really pulled the entire Qin family on, and just for Lin Ran alone, this was indeed a somewhat large price to pay.
Chapter 484
“Jie Lao forget it!”
Lin Ran turned his head to look at Qin Jie and waved his hand.
The matter had come to this, whether or not he was the one to open this golden lock no longer mattered, even if he didn’t go, I was afraid that Compa*s Yang wouldn’t let him go, so it would be better to die at the hands of this guy than at the treasure of Wan Ren Shan.
“I’ll go!”
Lin Ran turned his head to look at Compa*s Yang.
“Good boy, sensible!”
Compose Yang sneered at this and followed before throwing the jade flute back to Lin Ran, Granny Meihua and Cao Zheng also acquiesced, it was naturally the best option to let someone who didn’t belong to the four great powers open the lock.
“Ranzi!”
At the back, Wang Yifeng was anxious, his teeth bared, but he couldn’t help at all, and he even had to hide to save his life, which caused him a lot of pain in his heart.
He had never been the kind of person who feared death, and the fact that Lin Ran had chosen to sacrifice himself for him made him feel exceptionally guilty in his heart.
“Hurry up!”
At the other end, Compa*s Yang was already urging.
Lin Ran glanced back at Wang Yifeng with a bitter smile, and followed before walking slowly towards the golden lock.
It wasn’t that he was walking slowly on purpose, but he had already been badly injured all over from the beating he had received from Compulsion Yang earlier, and blood would seep out with every step he took, leaving a bright red footprint.
Although the True Qi in his body was already healing the wounds rapidly, there were too many wounds on his body for him to cope with.
The closer he got to the golden lock, the more pressure he found his body was under. At first it was fine, but when he was still a dozen metres away from the golden lock, the wounds that had just healed all over his body broke apart again, and blood flowed down as if it were nothing.
“That’s a lot of pressure… I’m glad I let this kid take the trip!”
The crowd in the distance was shocked at what they saw, especially when Lin Ran walked a few meters away from the golden locks and was only ten meters away, the crowd looked precisely astonished.
Lin Ran’s body was covered in blood, as if he had just been fished out of a basin of blood, and there was still blood coming out of his body, the situation was unbearable.
Wang Yifeng couldn’t help but shed tears, lowering his head and not daring to look at Lin Ran, he was really afraid that he wouldn’t be able to resist rushing out the next moment.
“Ai!”
Sage sighed even more, secretly vowing in his heart that he would pick up Qin Bing on this trip back, while doing his best to protect Lin Ran’s friends around him.
In the end, it was he who had approached Lin Ran about today’s incident, and it was impossible to say that there was no guilt in his heart.
The mood of the crowd was different, while at this moment Lin Ran had already walked to a place less than five metres away from the golden lock.
“Flutter.”
The tremendous pressure on his body finally made him fail to resist, and his entire body slumped to the ground, while the blood all over his body was no longer seeping out, it was simply flowing out, the entire front of the golden lock was blood red and unusually bloody.
“Kid, you’d better hurry up, if you die halfway, then I’ll just have to find your other companion as well!”
In the distance, Compulsion Yang chided coldly.
Lin Ran’s blood-covered face revealed a grimace at his words, he had thought that he could protect Wang Yi’s life by sacrificing himself, but he had never expected that this old B*****d, Compulsion Yang, would still be thinking about Fatty Wang.
Clenching his teeth, Lin Ran crawled step by step towards the golden locks, the blood all over his body had already infested the whole ground, the blood looked extraordinarily blinding against the golden light.
Wang Yifeng didn’t even dare to look, just kept choking with his head down.
Three metres, two metres, one metre …..
Finally, with Lin Ran sacrificing several more litres of blood, his palm also finally touched the golden lock, while inserting the jade flute into the lock.
“Weng!”
In an instant, everything around him seemed to fall silent, Lin Ran couldn’t hear any sounds from the outside world, and as he lay on the ground gazing out, he could see the people outside through the hazy golden light, all staring unblinkingly at his place.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Lin Ran felt the true qi within his body tremble violently, followed by a slow surge towards the outside of his body, the speed of which simply staggered him.
“What’s going on!”
Lin Ran hurriedly looked within, yet before he could even see clearly, almost all of the true qi within his body had already flowed out of his body, before it all gushed inside along the golden locks.
“This is completely finished!”
Lin Ran’s heart was completely broken, even his last life-preserving true qi was gone, he was afraid that there was no way he could survive this time.
“Ka-ching!”
Suddenly, the golden lock behind him trembled violently, and then it actually broke apart.
The tripod was less than a metre high and not very big overall, but it was so exquisite that the crowd couldn’t take their eyes off it after just one look.
“What’s the use of being beautiful, I’m going to die!”
Lin Ran looked up at the small golden censer and sighed helplessly as he quietly waited for death to come.
He could clearly see that Compa*s Yang and the others outside had already struck, all four chiefs had struck, and the four rays of light were heading straight for his side, clearly none of them had held back.
“Stop!”
Following this, Lin Ran saw Wang Yifeng, who with red eyes dropped the divine dragon axe in his hand, as if he wanted to help himself block the blow.
The golden censer was right behind himself, and if the four chiefs’ attacks arrived, I was afraid that he would have to be crushed into pieces by the four before he could even start grabbing the censer.
“Bang!”
There was silence on Lin Ran’s side, while outside it had already exploded into a frenzy.
The attacks of the four all struck the divine Dragon Axe, which was instantly sent flying backwards, straight towards Lin Ran.
However, the four men’s subsequent attacks caused cracks to appear in the divine Dragon Axe instantly, followed by the sound of “clack” and “clack”.
Then, Lin Ran saw the whole divine Dragon Axe shatter into pieces and fall on himself.
Only one of the axe handles was still in good shape, spinning and falling towards him.
“Fatty!”
Lin Ran couldn’t help but leave tears in the corners of his eyes as well, his favourite divine Dragon Axe was also completely destroyed because of himself.
“Come here for me!”
Lin Ran exerted all his strength and leapt forward, gripping the handle of the Divine Dragon Axe in his hand.
The moment he gripped the divine Dragon Axe, he also revealed a satisfied smile.
But the next moment, the attack from the four Companions Yang arrived, and the huge impact instantly hit Lin Ran’s chest, instantly sending his entire body flying backwards.
“Bang!”
With a loud bang, Lin Ran crashed heavily onto the small golden censer behind him, immediately spitting out another mouthful of blood, spilling it all over the censer.
However, just as everyone was watching nervously, as the four chiefs prepared to fight for the small censer, a scene that no one expected appeared.
Only to see Lin Ran and the golden censer actually roll down towards the back at the same time, before all of them fell into the abyss below, and immediately all the golden light and mist dispersed, revealing the huge square abyss in front of them.
“How is this possible!”
However it was far from over, the four chiefs’ attacks were actually stuck firmly in something at this point.
The four looked ahead with terrified faces, at this moment they all felt the true qi in their bodies being frantically extracted out, a steady stream of it being swallowed by whatever was ahead of them.
