My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 98: Walking on Air, Shaking the Whole City! (Two-in-One Subscription)

"I... I am from... the... the Jin family in the capital city!"

"I... I am the third... third young master of the Jin family!"

"You... you can't... can't kill me!"

Jin Laihao was going crazy.

Trembling voice, stuttering shouts, his body continuously retreating, moving closer to the window.

Whoosh!

Before he could react, a blade formed by True Qi suddenly shot out and lightning-fast hit Jin Laihao's thigh.

"Crack~"

The sound of bones breaking echoed in the room.

"Ah!"

Jin Laihao screamed in pain, falling to the floor, clutching his leg and howling.

Puh~

Another burst of Qi shot through the air and hit Jin Laihao.

His screams instantly became hoarse and weak.

As if his throat was blocked by a piece of cloth, he wanted to shout, but couldn't make much sound.

This undoubtedly made Jin Laihao even more terrified. He collapsed on the ground, trembling all over, with sweat constantly dripping from his face.

"I... I... am really... the third young master of the Jin family..."

"I know." Chen Wuji controlled his voice, sounding old and slow, walking into the room calmly, and said, "I came here for you."

"For... for me?"

Jin Laihao trembled all over, confused and frightened, stuttering, "I... I don't know, senior, why... why are you looking for me?"

"No, no... as long as senior gives the order, I will do anything!"

"No rush."

Chen Wuji glanced at the only guard kneeling on the ground, whose pants were soaked, and said calmly, "Go, bring the master of the Jin family here. I'll wait here."

"Ah, ah?"

Jin Laihao was stunned by the words.

The guard was also dumbfounded.

"What's wrong? Don't understand?" Chen Wuji glanced at the guard and said, "Do I need to repeat it?"

"No... no need." The guard's throat went dry, his voice trembling, as he looked at Jin Laihao.

"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and do as the senior said!"

Seeing this, Jin Laihao endured the pain in his broken leg and shouted at the guard.

A hint of joy flashed deep in his eyes.

The old guy actually sent someone to inform his fourth uncle!

With just one glance, the middle-aged man was killed instantly.

The old guy's cultivation was at least at the True Qi Eighth Layer.

But his fourth uncle was at the True Qi Realm Ninth Layer, and was about to reach perfection.

During these days, he had been practicing and increasing his cultivation on the mountain near the Crescent Bay, using the erupting natural energy.

Now, he might have already reached the True Qi Realm Ninth Layer perfection.

When his fourth uncle arrived, it would be the old guy's death!

Hahaha...

Jin Laihao laughed in his heart.

Afraid of being seen by the old man, he quickly lowered his head.

"Yes, yes."

After hearing the guard's words, he stood up tremblingly, holding up his wet pants, and slowly walked out of the room. After leaving the house, he ran as fast as he could.

Chen Wuji let him go without stopping him.

He released his divine sense, sensing the surroundings, and quietly approached Jin Laihao.

"You're happy now, aren't you?" The old voice sounded in the room.

"Yes... ah, no, no."

Jin Laihao shivered, suddenly realizing, his face pale, shaking his head and denying, "I didn't, I just... just..."

"No need to explain."

Chen Wuji chuckled, "And no need to be afraid. I won't harm you. On the contrary, I will help you and help you gain control of the Jin family's power!"

What?

Jin Laihao thought he had misheard, and couldn't help but look up at Chen Wuji.

What he saw were Chen Wuji's deep eyes, like a vortex.

Buzz~!

The seed of determination condensed.

Released across space, implanted into Jin Laihao's brain, rooted deep in his mind, binding his consciousness.

Jin Laihao didn't struggle at all and was successfully implanted with the soul.

"I am Yang Lin, the master you would protect even if you committed suicide!"

The old voice of Chen Wuji entered Jin Laihao's ears, merging with his soul.

Jin Laihao was stunned.

In the next moment, his vision returned to focus. Crawling on the ground with a broken leg, he kowtowed to Chen Wuji.

"Jin Laihao, greetings, Master!"

...

The one who manipulated Cai Shuifeng to go up Azure Ox Mountain and challenge Chen Wuji was none other than Jin Laihao.

He was the third young master of the Jin family in the capital, a direct descendant of the main lineage.

Killing Jin Laihao directly would cause too much trouble in the future.

This was because the Jin family had a true Ascending Heaven Realm expert overseeing them.

To establish a foothold in the capital and develop into the top force, every family had Ascending Heaven Realm experts.

The difference lay in how many Ascending Heaven Realm Martial Masters they had.

And the Jin family happened to have one.

It was unclear if there were any others in secret.

Even if there was only one, they couldn't confront the Hidden Dragon Gate head-on like they could now.

Therefore, killing Jin Laihao was not an option.

So, they implanted his soul!

Turning Jin Laihao into their puppet and using him to extend their influence into the capital.

Undoubtedly, this was the best choice, killing two birds with one stone!

...

With Chen Wuji's current mental power, he could use "Soul Annihilation" in a single breath.

"Soul Implantation" took three breaths.

After successfully implanting the spiritual seed, the control over the puppet became even stronger.

Chen Wuji mentioned it briefly, and Jin Laihao revealed everything about the Jin family, the relevant information about the various forces in the capital, everything he knew and didn't know.

In the end, he respectfully said, "With the Master's strength, you are more than qualified to be among the top ten experts in the capital."

"Hahaha!"

Chen Wuji laughed, "Top ten in the capital? I don't care about that. I care about being in the top ten in Nanyang."

"Alright, your fourth uncle should be arriving soon."

Chen Wuji chuckled, "Cooperate well in the upcoming performance, but don't overdo it."

"Yes!"

Jin Laihao respectfully replied.

After speaking, he messed up his hair and wiped some fresh blood from the dead guards and servants on his face and body.

By now, it was already morning.

Jin Laihao had revealed all kinds of information about the capital throughout the night.

The guards who went to inform at Moon Bay had been galloping on horseback all night.

With Jin Laihao's fourth uncle, the leader of the Jin family who had rushed to White Water County this time, Jin Zhongbao, who had reached the True Qi Ninth Layer or even the Ninth Layer Perfection, it was enough for him to return to the county town by dawn.

And that was indeed the case.

Jin Laihao had just finished pretending to be in pain and lying on the ground, groaning for less than a cup of tea.

Boom!

A loud noise.

The wall on the street side of the private room suddenly shattered, revealing a large hole.

Hoo! Hoo!

The gusty wind blew, and the aura swirled.

A middle-aged man with a strong physique, eyes like lightning, and an imposing presence stood on the top of a building across the street from the private room, scanning the situation inside from a distance.

Seeing that Jin Laihao was still alive, his breath slowed slightly, but his momentum grew stronger.

Invisible power stirred the air around him, lingering.

His long hair danced in the wind, but his clothes remained motionless.

"Save me~"

Jin Laihao, lying on the ground, saw the middle-aged man and shouted hoarsely with excitement and fear, "Fourth Uncle, save me, save me!"

Jin Zhongbao didn't respond.

He just glanced at Jin Laihao and shifted his gaze to Chen Wuji.

"Who are you? Why are you opposing my Jin family?"

Chen Wuji also ignored him.

With the corner of his eye, he scanned the situation on the street outside.

At this moment, it was already bright outside.

The flow of people on the street was increasing.

In addition to the people who had been suffocating in the inn all night.

Nearby and far away, the crowd watching grew larger and larger.

The muffled voices of discussion and inquiry constantly sounded in his ears.

"What's going on? Who is fighting with whom?"

"I'm not sure, but there's definitely a good show to watch."

"I know, that person across from the inn is Jin Zhongbao from the Jin family, a True Qi Realm expert at the Ninth Layer..."

"What? True Qi Ninth Layer? Is that true? Someone actually dares to offend someone at this level?"

"That's nonsense. If they didn't have the ability, would they dare to make a move?"

"The Jin family in the capital city is a big clan. They have an Ascending Heaven Realm powerhouse in the clan. Whoever dares to make a move against the Jin family, that old man in the inn is probably not simple."

"I just don't know who it is. I've never seen them before."

"Heh, don't worry, they won't fight. General Chang from the prefecture has received the news and will come soon. If they fight, it will be outside the city!"

...

"Who are you, sir?"

On the roof, Jin Zhongbao shouted, questioning again, "You only injured but didn't kill Jin Laihao. You must have some demands. Now that Zhongbao is here, what demands do you have, you can say..."

Crack~

"Ah!!"

The sound of bones breaking accompanied Jin Laihao's screams, suddenly resounding through the long street.

It turned out that Chen Wuji stomped on the bones in Jin Laihao's arm.

The sudden screams were heard by the crowd discussing and watching on the street, and all the voices immediately stopped, quieting down.

Many people instinctively stepped back.

"You bastard!"

A murderous aura surged from Jin Zhongbao's body, suddenly rising. True Qi surged outward, instantly transforming into a giant hand, fiercely grabbing towards Chen Wuji.

Whoosh~

Chen Wuji raised his hand, condensing True Qi into a fist, and directly struck head-on.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion.

The fist shattered the giant hand.

A large amount of fierce aura was released, swirling in the air.

Swish!

Jin Zhongbao's toes tapped, his figure soared into the air, both hands controlling it together, and the True Qi condensed into a long sword that was several zhang long.

The entire blade even had a faint blood color, exuding a terrifying killing intent.

"The Bloodshedding Blade! The Jin family's ultimate skill!"

A cry of surprise came from the crowd watching the battle from afar, "Jin Zhongbao is going all out..."

"Boom~!"

Suddenly, a dull explosion resounded throughout the long street, both in the sky and on the ground.

It turned out that the blood-colored True Qi long sword transformed by Jin Zhongbao exploded and shattered once again.

The burst of energy swept through the air, chaotic and rampant.

"So this is True Qi at the Ninth Layer, about to reach completion?"

Chen Wuji, who continued to shatter the long sword with a punch, felt strange in his heart.

His movements were not slow.

Whoosh~

His figure flashed, leaving the private room of the inn, hovering above the street.

Hoo hoo~!

It felt as if there were vortexes spinning under his feet, and the gusts of wind howled around him.

Chen Wuji extended one hand, condensing True Qi into threads.

In just half a breath, there were hundreds of True Qi threads flying in the air, surrounding Jin Zhongbao.

"Get out of here!"

Jin Zhongbao roared, his aura rising to its peak. A larger and more intense blood-colored True Qi long sword instantly condensed.

Swish!

The long sword slashed through the air, attacking the True Qi threads that were surrounding him from all directions.

"Boom boom boom~"

A series of muffled explosions resounded, instantly echoing non-stop.

However, the burst of energy was not from the True Qi threads, but from the blood-colored True Qi long sword.

The blood-colored long knife condensed by Jin Zhongbao's solidified True Qi struck the translucent True Qi threads. Instead of breaking through, it developed a "gap" in its own True Qi vibration, causing instability over a large area.

"How is this possible!"

Jin Zhongbao's pupils contracted, and astonishment surged in his heart.

With the eruption of the heaven and earth energy in White Water County, he had already reached the peak of the True Qi Ninth Layer. In the Qi Sea within his dantian, most of the True Qi had condensed into liquid form.

Only a small portion remained, which would instantly liquefy when breaking through to the Ascending Heaven Realm.

Therefore, in terms of the quality of True Qi, Jin Zhongbao dared to say that there were few people in Southern Sun Prefecture below the Ascending Heaven Realm who could surpass him.

Who would have thought that a suddenly appearing mysterious old man would have True Qi quality that completely surpassed him, at least three times, no, five times stronger?

"It's fake!"

Jin Zhongbao refused to believe it. He urged his dantian to condense more True Qi and infused it into the blood-colored long knife, pouring it out with his knife technique.

Swish swish swish~

The sharp sound of breaking wind echoed through the air.

The substantialized knife energy struck the True Qi threads accurately.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A dull sound resounded once again.

Jin Zhongbao's attack failed once again.

The True Qi threads, however, began to orderly gather and connect, forming a net-like structure that rapidly contracted.

"No, no, no!"

Jin Zhongbao exclaimed, frantically hacking with his True Qi long knife.

The killing intent and murderous aura within his body operated to the extreme, impacting the True Qi net.

Boom~

Boom! Boom!

The sound of air bursting continued incessantly, reverberating within and outside the long street.

No matter how hard Jin Zhongbao struggled and resisted, he couldn't stop the contraction of the True Qi net. It bound him tightly, and the condensed blood-colored long knife couldn't withstand the pressure and shattered completely.

"Hoo~"

Chen Wuji controlled the True Qi net, standing in mid-air like a foundation, grabbing Jin Zhongbao in the air and smashing him towards the ground.

Bang!

Amidst the roaring wind, the long street trembled.

Jin Zhongbao, trapped in the True Qi net, crashed into the ground, feeling dizzy and his bones trembling.

Bang!

Before he could react, Chen Wuji grabbed Jin Zhongbao again and smashed him towards the ground.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

...

The suppressed dull sound echoed one after another, reverberating through the streets and alleys.

The ground trembled, raising clouds of dust.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Jin Zhongbao was like a hammer, continuously pounding the ground. On the hard stone pavement, he forcefully created a five to six feet deep pit, with cracks spreading all around.

"Stop!"

A belated angry shout came from the direction of the city gate.

Bang!

Jin Zhongbao was once again smashed to the ground.

He lay at the bottom of the pit, his body trembling slightly, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, his eyes unfocused.

"Stop..."

Chang Chong, who had rushed over at high speed along the rooftops, just arrived and saw this scene. His pupils involuntarily contracted, and his commanding tone softened.

"This is the county town, private fights are prohibited. If you two want to fight, please go outside the city."

Chang Chong's tone slowed down as he glanced at Jin Zhongbao and looked at Chen Wuji with fear.

At this moment, Chen Wuji had already put away the True Qi net, his hands behind his back, standing in mid-air.

Wearing armor, Chang Chong arrived to intervene.

Chen Wuji ignored him, just slightly lowered his head, looking down at Jin Zhongbao, who seemed miserable but was actually seriously injured.

The voice, old but powerful, echoed in the ears of everyone on the street.

"The next time you reach out recklessly, what will be severed won't be your limbs, but your head!"

After speaking, he lifted his foot and stepped on the void, displaying the Footsteps of the Ascending Immortal at the Great Accomplishment stage. He lifted his body and quickly ascended.

Under the shocked and horrified gazes of everyone, he flew higher, flew towards the distant sky, flew towards the east.

Just like that...

He flew away!
