Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 246 Can you please stop laughing so disgustingly?
"Ah! Ah..."

In Flying Fish Mountain, Li Jing leaned against a rock, panting heavily with lingering fear. His head was covered in sweat. Behind him, the furious roar still echoed through the mountains, though it was not clear.

"Is it already dark...?"

Li Jing looked at the night sky, where the stars were shining brightly, and when he looked back at the cave, it was as if he had survived a calamity.

He almost... he really wouldn't have made it out. Only now did he realize the gap between himself and beings like immortals and gods.

Even if... it's just an arm.

It was incredibly dangerous just now. He almost couldn't use his greatest reliance, the Five Elements Escape Technique, in front of that arm. If it weren't for the accident, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"But now one thing is certain."

Li Jing's eyes flashed, revealing a cold glint. If he had previously been somewhat skeptical about the mountain god's identity in the cave, then...

So when he saw the "true face" of the mountain god, he was basically certain that the claw in the cave was definitely not a benevolent creature.

First of all, there's that claw; from a human aesthetic point of view, its design is still too ferocious and ugly.
Secondly, the sword that suppressed that claw had no evil aura whatsoever; it was all righteous spiritual power. The claw, on the other hand, spoke more eloquently than it sang, but its actions were shrouded in eeriness…

"We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's wait for Master to arrive and report to him before we hear what he has to say..."

Li Jing turned to return to the front mountain area, but after taking only two steps, he seemed to remember something, looked back, his expression turned cold, and he strode away.

Before long, Li Jing easily carried a huge boulder, three zhang high and weighing seven or eight thousand jin, along the mountain path and strode to the cave.

"Kid, you dare? Believe me, once I'm free, you'll be the first person I find, I'll tear you apart, and I'll eat you up..."

Deep within the stone chamber, sensing what Li Jing was about to do, the claw angrily pounded on the stone platform.

But as it moved, with a "hum", the sword emitted a white light again, its sword intent bursting forth, and then a shrill scream echoed in the cave.

Li Jing calmly shrugged, and the boulder crashed down, blocking the cave entrance.

The roar, "I'll tear you apart..." suddenly subsided, becoming as faint as the buzzing of a mosquito...

"It's definitely...much quieter now!"

Li Jing picked at his ear: "Mountain God, you should rest and recuperate inside!"

After letting out a soft hum, Li Jing strode towards his cave dwelling. As he passed the steaming hot spring in the mountains, his expression became somewhat complicated.

The claw claimed that the hot spring was formed by the leakage of its divine power, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he realized that it was actually formed by blood dripping from the spot where the claw was stabbed by the sword and falling into the mountain spring.

Upon learning that he had been soaking in a blood spring, Li Jing felt somewhat disgusted and lost his interest in taking a bath.

Before long, he returned to Fuguang Cave. Over the years, he had also built a small hut for himself outside Fuguang Cave by cutting bamboo.

"Whose paw is that...?"

Li Jing lay on the bed, one hand behind his head, casually grabbing a spirit fruit and munching on it while pondering.

"It's just a claw, yet it possesses such terrifying power. If it were complete, just how powerful would it be?"

Li Jing's mind raced: "And such a powerful being was actually dismembered, cut into several pieces, and had one of his hands sealed here. Then... just how earth-shattering must that being be?"

Thinking of this, Li Jing tossed and turned, feeling his heart surging and his blood boiling, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.

Although he had not witnessed the battle described by the claw, he could imagine from the few words that the battle must have been earth-shattering and captivating.

Although going into the cave today was too risky, it must be said that it broadened his horizons considerably.

"Hmm, this claw is quite dangerous. If it gets out... I wonder if Master can handle it?"

Li Jing murmured, then suddenly snorted, "Before he left, he repeatedly warned me not to go to the cave in the back mountain, which means... he also knew about the existence of that claw. Could it be... he was sent to guard this claw?"

As he pondered this, he raised an eyebrow, sat up abruptly, and looked somewhat bewildered.

Unfortunately, no one told him the answer...

"Forget it, let's wait for the old man to come back and ask him clearly."

Li Jing glanced at the night outside the window, then lay down again. After a day of intense training, his physical strength was almost completely depleted, and he needed to rest early for the next day's training.

Before long, Li Jing fell into a deep sleep, and soft snores filled the small house. The night deepened, and the moon was nowhere to be seen; only a few faint starlight illuminated the earth.

The clouds drifted by, and a large, dark cloud drifted in, obscuring the only starlight and making the sky and earth dark and the scenery invisible.

"Woo..."

Suddenly a strong wind blew by, and the next moment three figures appeared high in the sky, two in front and one behind, standing in mid-air.

They looked down from their high vantage point, scanning back and forth. In front of them were two people, one with eyes as red as the blood moon, and the other with eyes that were blue.

"Qing Yuzi, are you sure that Bi Fang's aura last appeared here?" The figure with crimson eyes looked to the side.

"Not bad!" the figure with cyan eyes said, frowning slightly as he closed his eyes to sense the surroundings.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and pointed excitedly to the back mountain: "In that cave, Chiyang, let's hurry and rescue Lord Bifang."

A strange light flashed in his crimson eyes. He nodded slightly, then suddenly glanced at the small bamboo hut in front of the Floating Light Cave: "There's someone else?!"

Qing Yuzi urged, "Alright, don't forget why we're here. Chiyang, don't cause any trouble. The people inside have weak magical powers and are no different from ordinary people."

Chi Yang glanced at him, grinned to reveal his gleaming white teeth, and raised the index finger of his right claw. A point of crimson light condensed from the fingertip and quickly transformed into a ball of fire.

With a gentle movement, the blazing fire, like a small sun, descended upon the bamboo house, and with a deafening roar, the bamboo house exploded, sending flames and burning bamboo scattering into the sky.

"Blazing Sun!" Qing Yuzi's voice turned unfriendly.

"Don't get angry, don't get angry. Maybe that person was sent to guard the seal that Lord Bifang was sealing?"

Chi Yang waved his hand and laughed, "Now I'm done playing, I can... wait, he's not dead, interesting!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked down at the ground.

A streak of fire flew swiftly along the ground towards the foot of Flying Fish Mountain.

"enough!"

Qing Yuzi coldly retorted, "If you want to play, I have no objection, but you'd better consider the occasion. If you alarm Master Yuding, we'll all die together."

"I know, I know." Chi Yang waved his hand impatiently and looked behind him: "Kill them!"

The figure behind him nodded slightly and then dashed off after the flames.

"Can anyone tell me what is going on?"

In the Fire Release technique, Li Jing's expression was ashen; he just wanted to get a good night's sleep!

Then... the house exploded.

Fortunately, he sensed the intense danger in advance and woke up, using the Five Elements Escape Technique to escape with his life.

Otherwise... his life would be over tonight.

Then he noticed those figures in the sky, whose mere presence was enough to make him tremble with fear and even afraid to approach.

At that moment, driven by his biological instincts, he screamed at him...

escape!
Do not look back!

Escape as quickly as possible...

Then, he couldn't help but look back and saw two streaks of light heading towards the cave on the back mountain.

So they really were heading for the back mountain... Li Jing's expression was heavy. At this moment, he had an urge to curse his master.

Where did you go, you unreliable old man?

"Hehehe..." Suddenly, a chilling laugh came from behind Li Jing, and it lingered behind him, like a cat playing with a mouse.

Hehehe?

Hearing the sinister laughter, Li Jing's face grew increasingly grim. Suddenly, he turned around, his fist clenched, and lunged backward like a bolt of lightning, roaring, "Can you please stop laughing so disgustingly?"
