The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1010 I'll be back! (2 updates)
What was happening before their eyes was no different from cutting their flesh with a knife.

The president of the local association burst into tears. It is said that men do not easily shed tears, unless they are deeply saddened.

At this moment, he was truly heartbroken. The items in this small courtyard accounted for roughly one-tenth of the local association's assets.

If it weren't for the fact that these people from the General Association were the ones who caused all this, the president of the local association would probably be wielding a knife by now.

Nothing is more heartbreaking than a miserly person watching their hard-earned wealth being destroyed.

Yunran and Longling's battle was controlled very well within this small courtyard.

Their ability to control their emotions and actions made others perceive it as a situation where the two were evenly matched, with neither able to gain an advantage over the other.

This is considered normal for Yunran and Longling's usual 'arguments'.

However, these Xuan Masters from the local association possessed considerable strength and talent, and this was the first time they had witnessed a battle of this level.

"Is this what a duel between masters looks like? This is terrifying. People of our level can't even get involved."

"Not only can we not intervene, we can't even get close. The residual force alone could easily injure us!"

"I never expected Mr. Long to be so powerful. We're really lucky. If it weren't for Mr. Long, we might have been finished!"

"I wonder who that man in black robes is, that he dares to bully these people from the General Association."

……

The whispers of the local Xuan Masters were drowned out by the sounds of Yun Ran and Long Ling fighting.

The few people in the General Association who were still awake but suffering from excruciating injuries didn't hear this, otherwise, they would have been in real trouble.

The warm-up fight was almost over, and I had shown off my black robe to a sufficient extent.

Of course, the image of Long Ling as a heroic figure has been largely established by now.

Any more than that would be excessive, even seeming a bit contrived and fake.

Yun Ran snorted first: "I didn't expect there to be such a master hidden here. You're lucky today, but you won't be so lucky next time. I'll be back!"

After making another harsh statement, Yun Ran crushed a fist-sized demon core that was almost completely depleted of its energy.

There was a loud "bang" sound.

Those local Xuan Masters who had kept their distance witnessed a blinding flash of light explode in mid-air.

Everyone instinctively closed their eyes, and when they opened them again, the black-robed man whose identity they had no idea had vanished.

Only Long Ling remained, standing there with her magical artifact in hand, glaring resentfully at the fleeing man in black robes.

To put on an act with Yun Ran, Long Ling deliberately wore ordinary clothes that the guild leader had sent over.

His own clothes were specially made, and could be considered protective robes, so he couldn't bear to waste them.

Looking at her tattered clothes, so worn that their original appearance was no longer discernible, Long Ling once again praised herself for her foresight.

The aura of the demon core quickly dispersed.

Although the demon core's energy was almost depleted, the demon core that Yun Ran had managed to keep was definitely not an ordinary item; its explosive power should not be underestimated.

The flowers, trees, and even the fish in the artificial pond in the courtyard that were almost dead because of Yunran and Longling's battle were all gone.

Thanks to the aura emanating from the demon core, they visibly regained their vitality, even growing better than before. Everyone's gaze was firmly drawn to this astonishing scene.

Not a single drop fell on the dragon spirit, who was tattered and covered in dust.

Although the audience's attention was elsewhere, Long Ling, as a 'competent actor,' deliberately swayed his body a few times.

Then, somewhat unsteady, he leaned on his magical artifact for support, preventing himself from falling.

Looking at it this way, coupled with the scene of this place being razed to the ground, it evokes a rather tragic feeling.

Even if Long Ling had some flaws, they were all concealed by the scene caused by Yun Ran crushing the demon core.

Xuan Chu's meditation had ended, and as soon as he opened his eyes, the little paper doll told him what had happened.

I was hoping to be of some help, but it's already over.

When Xuan Chu rushed over, he saw Long Ling's body, which looked as if a gust of wind would cause her to fall over, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

Even if he and Long Ling are in cahoots, the scene before him is, to be honest, a bit over the top.

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone else's attention was drawn to the aura of the demon core, Xuan Chu quickly stepped forward and helped Long Ling up.

He immediately cried out in a panic, "Junior brother, don't scare me! Hold on, I'm coming to save you!"

Dragon Spirit: ...

If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, he would have cursed Xuan Chu: "Are you an idiot? This is so fake!"
Long Ling squeezed Xuan Chu's hand hard and gave him a look, letting him figure it out for himself.

Then, with great difficulty, he held on to his body, determined not to fall.

At this moment, both Long Ling and Xuan Chu were inwardly despising each other for their poor acting skills.

Xuan Chu's shout seemed to bring the others to their senses.

Mr. Long saved their lives, but they didn't care about him right away. A wave of guilt washed over them.

No one could have imagined that Yun Ran had accurately predicted everything that was happening before their eyes, as well as their actions.

Crushing the demon core was a way to escape smoothly, divert these people's attention, and ultimately let them fill in the gaps in their imagined conspiracy.

"Mr. Long, thank you so much this time. If it weren't for you, we would have been wiped out today."

Even at the beginning, they had some doubts about the identity of the man in black.

However, after seeing that the man crushed the invaluable demon core in order to escape, they no longer doubted Yun Ran's disguise as the man in black robes.

“That man in black robes is quite capable. You’d better figure out who you’ve offended. You’ve managed to force him back this time, but it’s hard to say what will happen next time.”

Faced with gratitude, Long Ling maintained his aloof demeanor, his tone and expression remaining indifferent.

It was as if he had just gone through a 'fierce battle' and almost died here, so it was nothing at all.

After speaking, Long Ling looked at Xuan Chu. Although she didn't say anything, Xuan Chu cooperated perfectly.

"My junior brother is injured, and I'm taking him to get treatment now. You can handle the rest yourselves!"

When Xuan Chu spoke, his tone carried a hint of displeasure.

It was clearly a rebuke to them for offending a formidable opponent and implicating them.
