Chapter 918: Chapter 920: Right Nearby Even if Long Er goes back and tells the Great Elder what he just said, so what? As long as he stubbornly refuses to admit it and puts all the blame on Long Er and Long Ang, the Great Elder can’t do anything to him without evidence! Elder Su thought very optimistically. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a mocking smile playing on his lips as he looked at the approaching Lin Dong. Next, all he had to do was wait for the execution of Lin Dong to be completed. “Such overconfidence!” Elder Su clenched his fist tightly, his eyes narrowing as a sharp gleam shot out from within. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩 Almost instantly, as Lin Dong was about to rush forward, Elder Su clenched his fist and swung it forcefully at Lin Dong. Lin Dong employed the third move of Mantis Fist, Earth Flying Fish, forcibly intercepting Elder Su’s fist. He never imagined that his own fist would be caught by someone with seemingly no strength at all… Elder Su was taken aback, then immediately realized something. He looked sharply at Lin Dong, “You’re an Ancient Martial Artist!” Lin Dong’s lips curled up into a faint smile, “Just as you thought!” Elder Su grew more infuriated, feeling like he was being made a fool of. This Lin Dong was clearly doing it on purpose! “Xiao Hu isn’t sick, is he?” At this critical moment, what Elder Su couldn’t let go of was still that child. Lin Dong snorted lightly, “He’s quite happy now!” “You should worry about yourself! You’ve done so many bad things, let’s see if the Dragon Group lets you off!” Elder Su laughed wildly, “If I’m not mistaken, you’re just a rookie who’s just stepped into the ancient martial arts. What, a young boy like you wants to defeat me? Hmph! Today, I’ll make sure you and Long Er both meet King Yan together!” Saying this, Elder Su exerted his full strength. Trained in hard skills, his palm was like iron, able to kill an ordinary person with just thirty percent of its force. But this time, in order to ensure extinction, he used a full force, glaring at Lin Dong with a venomous look, “Today, I’ll show you what a real martial artist is!” Elder Su pressed hard with his foot, propelling himself into the air before coming straight for Lin Dong with a shout. Lin Dong was not an easy opponent either. He looked seriously at Elder Su, all his senses becoming taut. Just as Elder Su was about to land, Lin Dong leapt, firmly meeting Elder Su’s attack. Including Elder Su, even Chu Ge, Jian Chunqiu, and others were stunned. On the side, Long Ang was even more shocked as he looked at Lin Dong. What had he just witnessed? Lin Dong had actually withstood Elder Su’s hard fist? “How did Lin Dong’s martial arts skills improve so much in such a short time?” Long Ang asked in astonishment. The Second Elder stood beside him, equally surprised as he looked into the distance, “Long Ang, do you know this young man?” He was referring to Lin Dong as the young man. Long Ang nodded, “He’s my colleague at the Gambling Stone Field.” “How is his martial arts?” The Second Elder was suspicious, suspecting Lin Dong of some trickery. Long Ang furrowed his brow and shook his head slightly, “Lin Dong is a good young prospect for martial arts training, improving significantly every day. Getting to this point isn’t impossible.” Long Ang seemed to guess what the Second Elder was thinking and couldn’t help but speak up for Lin Dong. For martial artists like them, using forbidden medicine to enhance skills rapidly was frowned upon in both the ancient martial arts circle and the Dragon Group! The Second Elder snorted lightly, feeling somewhat disgruntled. Even if Elder Su had wronged their Dragon Group, that was an internal matter—how dare outsiders, like the ancient martial artists, interfere? In the Second Elder’s eyes, the duel between Lin Dong and Elder Su was no longer just a personal grudge; it was a showdown between the entire ancient martial arts world and the Dragon Group. But this Lin Dong, this young man, though looking seemingly weak at the start, was expected by the Second Elder to fall to Elder Su within a single move. Yet, now, minutes had passed, and they’d exchanged no less than twenty moves. For someone so inexperienced to withstand twenty moves from Elder Su, how could the Second Elder feel pleased? Compared to the Second Elder’s constipated expression, Jian Chunqiu wore a somewhat smug look. Lin Dong was his disciple. Initially, he had little hope for Lin Dong, but now Lin Dong’s potential surprised him. But Chu Ge thought otherwise. Knowing Lin Dong well, his power exceeded this. Chu Ge pondered, stroking his chin, could Lin Dong be too nervous? Considering his thoughts, he saw Lin Dong finally lose after thirty-eight moves. Although he was defeated, Elder Su didn’t get off unscathed either, bearing some injuries. Elder Su wiped his mouth disdainfully; looking at Lin Dong with a scornful tone, “Didn’t expect you to withstand so many moves from me and even manage to hurt me. Seems like you ancient martial folks aren’t cowards.” Elder Su was taken aback by Lin Dong’s resilience. There were several moments when he could have easily overpowered Lin Dong, yet this guy seemed to grow braver under adversity. The more you came at him, the tougher he got! He came from a hard skills background; even when faced with soft skills, it was nothing. But clashing with someone even tougher would make him falter—typical of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. “However, even if you’re not a coward, that won’t help you. Don’t worry, I’ll go easy on you.” Elder Su advanced slowly. At this moment, Lin Dong was already exhausted, unable to resist any longer. Weakly lifting his gaze towards Elder Su’s direction, Lin Dong wondered… did he not disgrace the ancient martial arts? With this thought in mind, Lin Dong slowly closed his eyes. The moment he closed his eyes, Elder Su raised his hand to strike. However, his hand stopped in mid-air, unable to move. “Elder Su, killing someone right in front of us might be unwise, won’t it?” Jian Chunqiu said softly. Almost immediately, Jian Chunqiu, like an arrow, darted to Elder Su’s side, raising his hand to clasp Elder Su’s arm. Elder Su was momentarily stunned, not expecting the sudden intervention, but quickly realized what was happening. “So, this was your setup all along!” Elder Su blamed it all on Long Ang, convinced that Long Ang must be lurking nearby! “Long Ang!” Elder Su shouted loudly, his arm still restrained by Jian Chunqiu. “Long Ang! Collaborating with the ancient martial arts, do you know how heartbroken the Great Elder would be if he found out?”
