Chapter 180 – For the Family

Beast Power Phantom!

Tang Xiongfu came to the heart and used the phantom of animal power.

Originally, this extremely ordinary slap had the power of a bear!

Ling Yun didn't have time to dodge, so in a hurry, he could only raise his arms and parry hard.

Rumble.

With a loud bang, his whole body was smashed and flew out. The aqua-blue shield flashed, and then suddenly it fell apart.

His arms were directly numb, and he couldn't exert his strength for a while.

He struggled to keep his balance in the air, twisted his waist and rolled over, landed on both feet, and supported the ground with one hand.

Urging the water shield again, the aqua blue shield resurfaced, but it was more sluggish and transparent, and its defensive power was far less than before.

"That's the Xiong Li Phantom, Tang Xiong broke out!"

"Xiong Li is good at slapping, Tang Xiong has attacked so many times, and it is normal for Xiong Li to appear once. ”

"Originally, it was still a stalemate, but it was just a bear power phantom, which made that kid mess up, and Tang Xiong had already gained the upper hand. ”

"According to statistics, he can use an average of five Bear Power Phantoms in each battle. If that kid can't come up with a countermeasure, he's going to be out of luck. ”

Outside the martial arts arena. There was a lot of talk and a lot of noise.

As soon as the beast power phantom appeared, it opened up the situation. After mobilizing the enthusiasm of the spectators, I finally found an exciting thing.

"I have the power of two pigs and one crocodile, pig power is good at collision, crocodile power is long in biting, and bear power has not yet been cultivated. With fists and palms, it is impossible to send out the illusion of animal power. Moreover, the water shield technique is not good at defending against melee hand-to-hand combat, and if it is attacked by one or two beast power phantoms, I am afraid that it will be ruined. ”

Ling Yun's heart flashed. decided to change tactics and slowly wear him down.

Jumping grass.

He thought to himself, and the spring-like grass grew on the soles of his feet, and then drilled through the soles of his boots.

Tang Xiong rushed over. Ling Yun kicked his feet, like a frog, and jumped away.

At the same time, his left palm was aimed in Tang Xiong's direction.

A bright red moonblade. Suddenly a volley flew out of the air. landed on Tang Xiong, hitting the defensive halo on his body for a while.

Although the Blood Moon Sword Blade is not strong enough, it is still a spirit master-level secret method after all.

Tang Xiong froze for a moment and threw himself at Ling Yun again, wanting to close the distance.

Ling Yun repeated his old tricks, only shooting the Blood Light Moon Blade from a distance, changing his tactics, and not fighting with Tang Xiong in close combat.

Tang Xiong had no choice but to use mobile means to start a chase with Ling Yun.

Lingyun fought and retreated. Tang Xiong is not without long-range combat methods, but compared with melee combat ability. It's too weak, and it can't threaten Ling Yun at all.

Tang Xiong roared angrily, cursing the fierce general Lingyun, and the surrounding spectators also let out a burst of boos. They crave passionate melee combat rather than such boring operational methods.

But how could Ling Yun be easily provoked?

His exercises and secret methods are not complete, melee combat has not yet been cultivated, and long-distance combat can only be regarded as barely enough.

Time passed, and the spiritual power of both sides continued to decline.

Ling Yun's advantage is becoming more and more obvious, he is a spirit master-level water demon spiritual power, while Tang Xiong is only a medium qualification, red iron spiritual power.

Although the spiritual power consumption of the strength cultivator is small, he can't help but continue to use it.

When Ling Yun's Blood Moon Sword Blade inflicted five or six wounds on Tang Xiong's body, the latter had to take the initiative to admit defeat.

His secret healing methods were not excellent, and it was difficult to stop the blood that kept pouring out of the wound.

"You wait for me, one day I'm going to shoot you into meat sauce!" Tang Xiong covered his wounds, retreated from the martial arts arena, and said viciously.

He came with a fierce look, and when he went, his face was pale, his steps were vain, and he spoke with one step at a time.

"I can't imagine that Tang Xiong, who is in the fourth infield, has failed. ”

"What is that thing? It can form a blood-red moon blade, and the wound it causes will bleed non-stop, why haven't I seen it?"

"This kid is definitely not a thing in the pool, it won't take long for him to rise to the martial arts arena in the fourth inner city. ”

Succeeding in the king's defeat, everyone outside the arena focused more attention on Ling Yun's body.

As a result, Ling Yun won the third victory, and at the same time, according to the rules, took the bear from Tang Xiong's body.

This is the most valuable secret method in Tang Xiong's hands. As soon as this secret method is gone, Tang Xiong will only have the power of the two bears left, and his combat effectiveness will drop by three percent, which is not to worry.

But Ling Yun couldn't be happy in his heart, but he couldn't be proud.

The Legendary Essence Stone is not in the Star Stone of the Footsteps, so where will it be?

Could it be that it's not this stepping stone, but another?

But when Ling Yun returned to the gambling stone shop, the kick on the counter had been repaired.

Or is it not this gambling stone shop at all?

Ling Yun shook his head secretly, the star stone, the mat counter, the gambling stone area, these elements are combined, and there is only this gambling stone workshop.

"If I didn't have a Legendary Stone, I wouldn't have an advantage in my strength. In ancient times, power prevailed, but now, it has declined. Losing the legendary essence stone, if you go to the path of strength, you must at least have a legacy of the ancient power path. It's a pity that there are only three ancient power inheritances in my memory, one in the East China Sea and one in Central Continent. ”

"The third one is in the Western Regions. But now it is occupied by the samurai, and it has been mined for several years. Speaking of which, the martial arts family's Wu Ji Niangniang also walked hard. It is precisely thanks to this ancient inheritance that the throne of the first combat power in the Western Regions has been stabilized. ”

Of course, the first throne here only refers to the worldly. The spiritual wind secret methods are already at the level of immortals, and they are beyond the mundane and are not counted.

Ling Yun spent another seven or eight days secretly investigating, but there was no progress.

"Alas, there is only one last clue left, and it really can't be done, so I can only give up. Ling Yun said in his heart, he is not the kind of person who drills the horns of the bull.

The last clue is Li Ran, the protagonist who got the legendary essence stone in his previous life.

Although Ling Yun has a Bauhinia token, it is not easy to investigate it blatantly.

However, Li Ran in his memory also participated in the martial arts exercise. After getting the legendary essence stone, he slaughtered all sides and swept the martial arts field.

That's easy to do.

Ling Yun had the right to forcibly challenge, so he used this name to come to the special reception.

There are three Li Ran who signed up to participate in the martial arts.

Two men and one woman.

The female is first temporarily excluded, and the rumored Li Ran is a man.

Of the remaining two, one is an old man, in his sixties, with a thin name. Spiritual master-level cultivation, a few years ago, he rushed to the martial arts arena in the third inner city, and his state was not good all these years, so he was reduced to the fourth inner city. This is obviously not, Li Ran in his memory is very unsatisfactory.

The other is a middle-aged man, in his fifties. The spiritual cultivator has been in the merchant city for nearly ten years, but he is still circling in the Yanwu District of the fifth inner city. He likes to gamble on stones, and his life is very embarrassing. In the merchant city, he was married and born, but the husband and wife were not in harmony and had long been separated.

Ling Yun secretly investigated and found that this person was the one he saw in the gambling stone shop when he first solved the stone.

After following for several days in a row, Ling Yun found that this Li Ran was extremely embarrassed, and sometimes he even ate the last meal, but he didn't have the next meal.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't have the skills.

In the martial arts arena of the Fifth Inner City, he relied on fighting to obtain spirit stones and make a living.

Ling Yun checked his record, and he actually won more and lost less.

It stands to reason that he should not worry about food and clothing. But this man is a good eater, a gambler, a prostitute, and a lavish spender, and he doesn't know moderation at all. In order to gamble on stones, he is likely to take out all the spirit stones on his body and use them, so that for most of the next half a month, he has to find people everywhere to borrow money and eat the lowest meals to survive.

In the same way, in order to have a big rub, he can go to the most exclusive restaurant and spend most of his money. He even ate overlord meals, and now he still owes money for meals from several restaurants.

"This person should be the owner of the legendary essence stone in his previous life. But if you don't know how to control your desires, even if you have a legendary essence stone, what can you do? No wonder the past life passed like a meteor, shining for a while, and then disappearing soon after. Ling Yun shook his head secretly.

"He got the Legendary Essence Stone in his previous life, will he get it again in this life? The day of the discovery of the legendary essence stone is approaching. Could it be that I really have nothing to do with this legendary essence stone?" Ling Yun frowned.

Tracking Li Ran these days has wasted a lot of Ling Yun's time and energy. If you spend this time on cultivation, you may be able to improve even more.

The key is that Ling Yun has no bottom in his heart, tracking whether this Li Ran will gain anything.

And if you follow it for a long time, you will be discovered. Fortunately, Wei Yang took on a heavy responsibility, and he would only come over when Ling Yun was practicing martial arts, otherwise it would be inconvenient for Ling Yun to track Li Ran.

If Wei Yang found out that he was following and investigating Li Ran, how could he explain it?

The biggest doubt now is why the legendary essence stone is not in the star stone, which is seriously inconsistent with the rumors!

Ling Yun couldn't figure it out, this was really incredible! All kinds of factors were right, but at the most critical point, something went wrong.

I don't know if it's because I'm thinking too much, Ling Yun always feels that this Li Ran's behavior is a little strange. But what was weird, he couldn't say. It was just a feeling, plausible, vague, and even Ling Yun himself wasn't quite sure.

In this way, more than twenty days passed, and Ling Yun fell into deep trouble. That strange feeling was getting heavier and heavier, but Ling Yun didn't know where it came from.

Li Ran's behavior was not inappropriate at all.

He has lived in the merchant city for nearly ten years, and if there is really something wrong, others will come out a long time ago.

"I've been thinking too much about it. At this time, you need the perspective of others to enlighten yourself. "Ling Yun has a very clear understanding of his situation.

But he has always only trusted himself, and although Su Nuan swore a poisonous oath with him, Ling Yun didn't trust Su Nuan at all. He just used her to cultivate, and the secret method of bone and blood reunion was much better than his own cultivation.

With no one to help, Ling Yun could only rely on himself.

But he's used to relying on himself, and he likes to rely on himself for everything.

So he came to the shop: "Shop, is there a flash of inspiration?"

Ling Yun asked several stores, but there were none. Finally, there was a store in stock, and when I asked the price, it asked for 29,000 spirit stones.

The Spiritual Flash Pill is a consumable at the spirit master level, and it can be consumed once you use it. Who would spend so many spirit stones to buy such a thing?

But in fact, there are really many people who use it.

These people are cultivators and masters who specialize in deriving and refining secret recipes.

When they hit a bottleneck and are only one step away from success, they choose to use it. Once this object is used, it can bring them the most crucial spiritual light, allowing them to pierce the window paper and deduce a new secret recipe.

The value of a new secret recipe is far more than 29,000 spirit stones.

Therefore, the Flash of Inspiration Pill has no price, and if it weren't for Ling Yun having the Bauhinia Token, the store would never have been able to sell it to him.

Similar to the function of the Spiritual Light Flashing Pill, there is also an immortal finger.

It's just that the latter is the Tie family's unique grass secret method, and it is not in circulation on the market at all.

Ling Yun gritted his teeth and bought this Flash of Inspiration Pill.

This Dan is shaped like a sapphire tadpole, small and exquisite, flicking its tail and constantly swimming.

Ling Yun's spiritual power urged, and this secret method was instantaneous

Shot into his mind, it turned into a white spiritual light, like a thunderbolt of lightning, instantly clearing the fog for Ling Yun.

Ling Yun's eyes suddenly burst into essence, and he finally sensed where the strange feeling came from.

"Yes, this Li Ran's life is decadent, unrestrained, like a mess, but there are hidden rules. He went to the restaurant seven times every three days, the gambling house twice every seven days, and the Qinglou once every five days. Moreover, every ten days or so, he would go to a restaurant called 'Fu Zheng Xianghe'. ”

The originally chaotic and complicated information, under the effect of the flash of inspiration, revealed the law.

That's what's weird, and that's where his complexity comes in.

If there is really no restraint and people who do not think about the future, their lives will definitely be rotten, how can there be such a law?

Three days later, Fu Zhi Xiang Restaurant.

"Little two, account. Li Ran withdrew his gaze from the window and shouted.

"Come on, Lord Li Ran, this time there are a total of five and a half spirit stones. ”

"It's six, don't look for it. Li Ran threw out six spirit stones.

"Lord Xie, sir, go slowly!"

Pedal Pedal ......

Li Ran went downstairs and walked out of the door of the restaurant until his back turned into the corner and disappeared.

Upstairs, Ling Yun's eyes were gloomy, he called his buddy, and pointed to the place where Li Ran was sitting just now: "The scenery here is too bad, I want to move to that table." ”

As far as he knows, every time Li Ran comes to the restaurant here, he will sit near the window, which is really strange.

"No problem!" the guy grinned, "Pretty lady." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ling Yun raised his brows slightly.

"Hey, doesn't the guest officer want Qin Yanlou's red card, Miss Anyu? Hehe, sitting in that position, you can just go to Miss Anyu's room, sometimes if you are lucky, you can really see her." That Master Li Ran just now, every time he sat in this position, he was addicted to greed. Every time, I reserved a place, and I only needed half a spirit stone at a time. The guy said shyly.

"Oh, that's the case?" Ling Yun was noncommittal and sat down in Li Ran's position.

Through the window, I really arrived at Qin Yanlou, which was two streets away.

Qin Yanlou is eight floors high, and the top girl, Miss An Yu, is a spiritual cultivator, and the room is on the top floor. She herself has a good appearance, and her identity as a cultivator can arouse men's desire to conquer, and it is said that it costs tens of thousands of spirit stones to accompany her at night.

According to Li Ran's net worth, of course, it is impossible to pay this huge amount, but is he really here to spy on Miss An Yu?

In terms of his entry and exit from the Qinglou, he is not the kind of person who is infatuated.

Ling Yun glanced out the window, there were many restaurants around Qin Yanlou, why did he choose only here?

If he had a reconnaissance secret method to increase his eyesight, it would make sense. But as far as Ling Yun knew, he didn't have such exercises and secret methods.

This distance has passed, even if Miss An Yu takes the initiative to stand by the window, she can only see a vague face, right?

"Huh, this is ......" Ling Yun's eyes suddenly froze, and he went to a small tofu shop across the street.

A mother was busy tidying up and preparing to close.

Ling Yun recognized this mother, they were Li Ran's wife and son!

"Could it be that Li Ran's real purpose is to think about them?" Ling Yun couldn't help but think.

He narrowed his eyes and recalled in his mind a topographical map of the street.

To peek at Miss An Yu, there are many better places than this. But to observe the mother, only this place has the best scenery!

According to my investigation, it was clear that a few years ago, he took the initiative to abandon his mother. Is it because he feels guilty? Weird...... If he is ashamed and wants to care about his wife and children, he can take the initiative to show up, so why hide. ”

"No, it may be that it is this shame in his heart that makes him faceless to see his wife and children again. But if he is really ashamed, why doesn't he change his past wrongs? Strangely, he seems to have lived a corrupt life and does not know moderation, but in fact he is very decadent and regular. This kind of law shows that he has a lot of self-control. ”

Ling Yun's eyes shone with a ghostly light, and his mind was full of thoughts.

He took a bite of food and chewed it in his mouth, but he didn't know how to eat it.

He felt that he was getting closer to the truth of the whole incident, as if a man groping in a dark room had approached the door.

All the clues, all the doubts, frantically flashed in his mind.

Such rapid thinking slowed down his eating movements.

He slowly lowered his chopsticks, then slowly picked up the wine glass, which was as clear as amber and exuded a rich aroma.

Suddenly, Ling Yun's black pupils suddenly dilated!

The wine glass in his hand was only halfway raised, and his entire arm hovered in mid-air, motionless, like a stone sculpture.

It was as if there was a thunderbolt that clicked in his mind and exploded.

"I see...... I see!"

He let out a low cry of excitement in his heart, and a light as bright and sharp as lightning flashed in his eyes.

The fog involving the past and present lives all dissipated, all the doubts suddenly cleared up, and Ling Yun found the answer!

In the same way, the lost Legendary Stone was also "found"!

"Wu Ran, if you sacrifice your future for the sake of your family, are you willing?"

"Yes!"

......

"Wu Ran, if it's for the sake of the family, you have to sacrifice your reputation, are you willing?"

"Yes!"

......

"Wu Ran, if the family needs you to contribute your life, are you willing?"

"I do!"

......

"I really didn't misunderstand you, Wu Ran. From your grandfather, to your father, to you, they are all loyal servants of the samurai family! Now, the family has a mission for you, and this task requires sacrificing your future, your reputation, and even your life. ”

"Patriarch, for the sake of the family, I am willing!"

......
