Night without Borders

Chapter 194: The Victims Come in Pairs
As the breeze blows, ripples appear on the blue lake, the green bamboo forest rustles, the golden vine trees ripple with brilliant clouds, and clusters of flowers and plants emit fragrance.

Qin Ming and Wu Yaozu each moved into a house with a large yard. Compared with the dark forest hut they had lived in before, the gurgling fire springs and the broad view here made them feel relaxed and happy.

Xiao Wu said, "Brother, Xin Youdao seems to have lost. Alas, could it be because of the earlier battle that affected him? I feel sorry for him."

When the two geniuses were fighting in Shanhe Academy, the spectators kept shouting and cheering. Even if you didn't go to the scene, you could hear the sound like waves.

Anyway, the two moved into their new home and were in a very good mood looking at the picturesque scenery nearby.

……

"Cheng Rui." Xin Youdao called out to the woman in yellow, trying to stop her.

"Don't worry about it. I don't believe it's such a coincidence. It must be a high-level divine species that he temporarily invited to suppress his cultivation and stop you before the decisive battle."

Cheng Rui didn't believe that it was unrealistic for two "fierce dragons" to emerge from this class of freshmen.

Looking around Kunling City, among the dozens of higher education institutions, apart from Ling Yu and Chun Yang, there are no other new disciples who can compare with Xin Youdao.

Cheng Rui walked quickly and her old home was in sight.

She saw two people at a glance. The older one was actually using the fishing rod she left behind to fish for the five-colored dragon carp in the lake. He seemed so leisurely.

Instantly, her chest rose and fell violently, and she felt suffocated. She said, "Look, those are the two people. Don't say you don't know them!"

Ling Yu was dressed in black, with black hair falling past his shoulders, bright eyes, a restrained heroic spirit, and a strong sense of self-confidence in his calmness.

Especially tonight, he defeated Xin Youdao, one of the strongest contestants in this year's unified examination. It was as if he had developed some kind of energy and completed a transformation.

Now, Ling Yu's spirit and energy have been elevated, and he can even feel that his Taoism has improved significantly.

His pupils shrank slightly. Is this the person that Master Wu is very optimistic about?

With a swish, he seemed to teleport, stepped over the branches of the golden vine tree, and came closer as light as a fallen leaf, staring at the boy who was fishing.

Wu Yaozu was carrying a grill and just walked out of the courtyard gate. Seeing this scene, he said, "Just moved in and someone wants to challenge and take back the house?"

"Why did you take action?" Ling Yu came closer and stared at Qin Ming.

"It has nothing to do with you." Qin Ming glanced at him.

Ling Yu thought for a moment and said, "I want to fight with you!"

He decided to cut the Gordian knot quickly so as to clear up the misunderstanding between Xin Youdao and Cheng Rui. Most importantly, he also wanted to weigh up the other party because Master Wu thought highly of this person.

Therefore, he simplified things and did not explain or elaborate on anything.

Qin Ming was very surprised. So direct?
Ling Yu believed that the great way was simple, and he didn't need any other reason to test the sword in the world.

"No!" Qin Ming refused outright. He didn't want to engage in meaningless competition.

"It's right here. It won't keep you for long." Ling Yu said, his black hair fluttering in the night wind, his eyes deep, exuding a strong belief.

"You are still here. Are you crazy or am I crazy?" Qin Ming refused decisively. He would go bankrupt after one fight. If he fought another, he and Xiao Wu would have to sell themselves to Shanhe Academy.

"Why is there someone here again?!" Qian Chuan, the senior student, was very helpless. He was on duty here today and he always encountered this kind of thing.

"Hiss!" He inhaled the mist from the lake. Who did he see? It was Ling Yu!

He suddenly felt overwhelmed. He thought the duo were nobody, so why did they always have to go up against such celebrities?

"This battle is inevitable!" Ling Yu walked forward, his hair flying, his black clothes rustling, and his whole body was filled with rich skylight energy.

Above his head, there was a faint spiritual waterfall falling. Although it was very blurry, it was already amazing that such a hazy wonder could be created with the light from the sky!
Some people call him Shaozu because he is truly gifted and has reached a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.

At the same time, a strong ray of consciousness appeared between his eyebrows like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, cutting through the night fog. He was a man walking two parallel paths.

Boom!

The ground trembled slightly. He was gathering strength. With every step forward, his mental will was sharpened like a heavenly sword, becoming sharper and more dazzling, emitting an overwhelming and powerful aura.

Ling Yu's body was also glowing, becoming brighter and brighter, resonating with his spirit, as if emitting the clanging sound of a sharpened heavenly sword. His entire body blended into the vast night, as if borrowing some terrifying "momentum".

"Bang!"

A grill flew over, but was blown apart by Ling Yu's protective skylight.

He turned around abruptly, not expecting someone to intervene forcefully.

Wu Yaozu looked at the grass on the ground that was trampled by this person, teleported to the front, and used his ultimate move as soon as he came up. Rainbow light flew out of his body, and he controlled the mysterious brass pestle.

Of course, not wanting to go deeply bankrupt was only one of the reasons. Xiao Wu felt guilty and thought that Xin Youdao’s defeat might have something to do with him, so when he saw another person coming to cause trouble, he really wanted to take action.

With a huge collision, the ground collapsed instantly, and the nearby vines, flowers and plants were destroyed again.

"You want us to go bankrupt?!" Xiao Wu got anxious, and the divine rainbow turned into a dazzling golden arch bridge, pressing down towards Ling Yu, not wanting him to cause any damage.

"Huh?!" Ling Yu was shocked. How could this short-haired boy be so strong?
He was almost familiar with the extraordinary people in this class, and it would be outrageous if two of them suddenly jumped out and performed beyond the scope.

Xiao Wu is the only one among the fourth Jedi, so he is naturally very strong!
He blocked Ling Yu and used the golden bridge to guide him, trying to pull out the other party's consciousness.

Ling Yu has the ambition to test his sword across the world. He has a terrifying background and amazing strength. Now his whole body is bursting with brilliant light, like a phoenix bathed in fire, spreading his wings to tear apart all obstacles and illuminate this area.

In the distance, some people exclaimed, as if they saw a scorching sun rising in the night sky.

With a bang, Ling Yu felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. He tried hard to look back, but he was powerless. His eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.

At the last moment, he was extremely angry. The young man whom Master Wu valued was so unrefined that he actually attacked him! Qin Ming put down his slap. He had nothing to be embarrassed about.

Since Xiao Wu had already taken action and had learned the bloody lesson of bankruptcy before, Qin Ming naturally would not allow such a thing to happen this time and simply and rudely stopped it.

In the distance, Cheng Rui, a girl in yellow, saw this, screamed, and ran away. Because she was the one who brought the people here, she was afraid that the two boys would beat her up too.

At this point, she believed that Ling Yu had nothing to do with those two barbaric teenagers and that he himself had been knocked down.

Xin Youdao was injured and walked slowly. He just arrived here.

A dozen young men and women around him happened to see this scene from a distance. They were all dumbfounded and felt extremely shocked.

They knew very well that the protagonists of tonight were Ling Yu and Xin Youdao. As a result, the two mysterious boys acted roughly and knocked down the two geniuses one after another.

If this gets out, it will definitely cause an uproar!

What would it feel like to let those who were watching know? In a hidden corner, there was actually such a bizarre "competition".

Xin Youdao was in mixed emotions, he and Ling Yu were really neatly lined up side by side, but they were both knocked over by someone!

Cheng Rui whispered, "Yes, I believe it. Ling Yu didn't arrange anyone to stop you. He... has also become a victim."

A group of people: "..."

They didn't know what to say.

Qian Chuan, who was on duty here, was shocked and felt dizzy. This was Ling Yu, one of the two top players tonight, who also fell on the grass.

He knew very well that Ling Yu and Xin Youdao were destined to be on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper, but there was such a "hidden story" behind it that they couldn't bear to look back on tonight. If it were known to the outside world, it would definitely be a hot topic like a landslide and tsunami.

And all this is because of those two unknown young men!

Qian Chuan found it incredible that the dilapidated grassland seemed to have magical power.

He looked for a long time but didn't dare to go over because he was really in awe of the magical grass and the two mysterious boys.

The aftermath of the war was still intense, many people were discussing it, and some were rushing towards this residence.

Xin Youdao asked a dozen people around him to go over and stop them to prevent the unconscious Ling Yu from being discovered and embarrassed.

"Brother, wake up." Qin Ming shook Ling Yu.

Wu Yaozu's eyes widened, because he found that Brother Ming naturally took out three gold notes from the man's arms. Is this possible? He felt like he had opened the window to a new world!
Qin Ming's eyes widened. Is Tang Jin's family so rich? Each gold note is worth 500 gold coins!
The energy he had accumulated for so long before his body exploded was far less than this amount in total.

Qin Ming said, "I didn't rob him. He attacked me first, and I was forced to fight back. He became my prisoner. However, since you, Xiao Wu, intervened, I have to return the 500 day gold."

He stuffed a gold note back, leaving two and dozens of gold coins.

"Brother, you are so particular and a good person!" Wu Yaozu praised. Now the two of them would not have to go bankrupt.

After he was excited, he felt a little regretful and said, "What a big loss. I forgot to touch the gold when I defeated Xin Youdao."

Not far away, Xin Youdao was walking over. When he heard these words, veins on his forehead almost popped out.

Qin Ming said: "The nature is different. You can't have such thoughts when you challenge others. I was attacked and forced to defend myself. I am collecting the ransom of the captives normally."

Ling Yu woke up and immediately became furious, wanting to fight to the death with the other party!
However, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and felt a little groggy. If he fought a decisive battle like this, he would definitely suffer a great loss.

Xin Youdao said, "Brother Ling, don't get excited. You should leave here first. Everyone else is back. It's not appropriate to cause trouble tonight."

He had to stop it and didn't want the matter to get out of hand, because he didn't want these things to be reported tomorrow, otherwise, it would be a "bloodbath".

Ling Yu pointed at Qin Ming, his chest heaving with anger. Finally, he turned and left. Naturally, he didn't want to be seen in the newspaper tomorrow and be laughed at by others.

"I want to have a decisive battle with you in a formal occasion!" He said this before he left.

"There's no need." Qin Ming said, wanting to persuade him not to be so anxious.

The disciples of the Esoteric Sect and the Immortal Path who lived here all came back at this time. After seeing Xin Youdao and Ling Yu, they were suddenly very excited.

A large group of people surrounded them, extremely enthusiastically, crowding around the two of them like stars surrounding the moon.

"Brother Ling, you are truly the glory of our generation. I eagerly want to see you wield your sword across the world, sweep away all your opponents, and reach the pinnacle!"

"Brother Xin, you have won glory even though you were defeated, and you have astonished everyone..."

Such praise and those fiery gazes, if it were on normal days, Ling Yu and Xin Youdao would not feel anything, as they had long been accustomed to it, but now, they were in a terrible mood.

Every word like this was like a whip to them.

……

It was not known how long it had been before the two of them squeezed out of the crowd. They both breathed a sigh of relief, their bodies covered in sweat. It was simply a torture for both of them just now.

"What, you lost to the boy from Black and White Mountain?!" In the evening, Tang Jin suddenly turned around and looked at the boy with a face full of resentment.

"I didn't lose. He was immoral and attacked me!" Ling Yu became more and more angry as he spoke and clenched his fists.

He shouted, "Please help me arrange it, Senior Sister. I want to have a fair fight with him!"

“They may not accept the challenge.” said the Purple-Eyed Crow.
