After a long while, their lips parted, Jiang Xue's pretty face was already flushed, leaving behind a barely perceptible sound, before she quickly turned around and disappeared into the moonlight, leaving behind a faint fragrance, as the door creaked open.
……
The next day, when Lin Yi opened his eyes, the warm sunlight was already pouring in from the window, turning into spots of light that illuminated the room.
Stretching, Lin Yi rolled out of bed, his body moving, and a series of deep, rumbling sounds emanated from within him.
It was a peculiar sound produced by the fusion of muscles and Yuan energy, and at the same time as the sound, there was also a surge of extremely powerful energy.
"It seems I'm not far from the Qi Creation Realm..."
After sensing the condition within his body, Lin Yi murmured to himself.
Lin Yi was about to wash up when he suddenly sensed a familiar figure approaching gracefully.
A moment later, the door was gently pushed open, and Jiang Xue, carrying a basin of water, slowly walked in. Her bright, beautiful eyes were fixed on Lin Yi, and her pretty face still had a faint blush.
"You're up?"
Jiang Xue spoke softly as she placed the basin of water on the table, wet a towel, wrung it out gently with her delicate hands, and then handed it to Lin Yi.
She looked just like an extremely obedient young wife.
Looking at Jiang Xue's appearance, Lin Yi couldn't help but find it amusing. The contrast between her demeanor and her attitude when they first met was quite striking.
Under Lin Yi's gaze, Jiang Xue's blush deepened. She lowered her head slightly and whispered, "I... it seems this is all I can do..."
"Thank you," Lin Yi said, taking the warm towel that still carried a faint scent of her body fragrance. He wiped his face with it and then handed the towel back to Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue stretched out her slender hand, her smile appearing exceptionally gentle.
This was the first time she had ever served a man like this, and no one could have imagined that her heart was pounding wildly at that moment.
“You don’t have to compromise yourself. If you’re willing, we can be friends from now on. It will be more comfortable to be on equal footing,” Lin Yi said softly, gazing at Jiang Xue.
Jiang Xue was slightly taken aback. She raised her pretty face and met Lin Yi's gaze. After a moment, a charming smile spread across her delicate face.
"Senior Sister! Something terrible has happened! The Blood Vulture Martial Arts School has suddenly surrounded our school with their men!"
Just then, a hurried shout came from outside, and Jiang Xue's face immediately turned slightly pale.
Lin Yi held Jiang Xue's slightly cold hand in one hand and said with a faint smile, "Don't worry, I'm here."
After saying that, he released Jiang Xue and walked out of the martial arts hall first.
Seeing Lin Yi like this, Jiang Xue's cheeks immediately regained their rosy color, and her heart suddenly calmed down. She quickly followed after him.
……
Outside the Eagle Martial Arts School, the area was now completely surrounded, with most of the people wearing the same badge on their chests—the badge of the Blood Eagle Martial Arts School.
Meanwhile, large numbers of people poured out of the Eagle Martial Arts Hall, and their gazes toward the guys outside were not friendly.
At the entrance of the martial arts school, Jiang Lei stared at the dark mass of Blood Vulture Martial Arts School members with a grim expression. After a moment, he said calmly:
"Master Luo Jiu, are you in such a hurry to drive my Eagle Martial Arts Academy out of Great Eagle City?"
"Jiang Lei, the matter between my Blood Eagle Martial Arts School and your Eagle Martial Arts School will be settled on the martial arts stage tomorrow. I'm here today to demand that you hand over that little beast who injured my son!"
At the head of the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School's group, a middle-aged man stood on horseback. He was lean and thin, dressed in a thin shirt. His eyes were sunken and his face was extremely gloomy, with a ferocious killing intent in his eyes!
Chapter 96 First Encounter, Temporary Retreat! [Please Read On]
As soon as his cold shout fell, several people came behind him carrying a stretcher, on which lay Luo Shan, whose limbs were completely crippled.
Jiang Lei glanced at the unconscious Luo Shan, and his eyes twitched slightly. He had already heard about what happened yesterday, but he didn't expect Lin Yi to be so ruthless!
But that beating was fucking satisfying!
The members of Eagle Martial Arts School looked at each other with a sense of smug satisfaction in their eyes. If the situation hadn't been so tense, many of them would probably have burst out laughing.
Although they held back, Luo Jiu still noticed. His already gloomy expression became even more terrifying. He stared at Jiang Lei with a sinister gaze and said coldly:
"If you don't hand over that little beast today, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Luo Jiu, do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
Jiang Lei sneered, clenched his fist, and the heavy sword flashed out, unleashing a powerful aura.
"Haha, Jiang Lei, I have already mastered the Creation Realm. The gap between you and me is widening. With your current strength, do you even deserve to fight me?"
Upon seeing this, Luo Jiu burst into laughter, his words filled with utter disdain.
"Then let's try!" Jiang Lei's eyes were gloomy. He stomped his foot on the ground and suddenly leaped out. His heavy sword brought up a sharp sword light and fiercely swept towards Luo Jiu, who was sitting on the horse.
Immediately, the two engaged in a fierce battle.
However, Jiang Lei, who had reached the minor stage of the Shaping Realm, was ultimately no match for Luo Jiu, who had reached the major stage of the Shaping Realm.
Not long after they started fighting, Jiang Lei was completely at a disadvantage.
"clang!"
Another fierce clash ensued, and with a deafening roar, Jiang Lei's heavy sword was blasted away!
Seeing this, Luo Jiu's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he slammed the heavy hammer in his hand hard into Jiang Lei's chest.
Judging from this, if Jiang Lei were hit, his entire chest would be blown apart.
"Die!"
Luo Jiu's face was contorted with rage as he unleashed a powerful hammer blow. However, just as his hammer was about to strike Jiang Lei's body, a sharp gust of wind suddenly pierced through the air, accompanied by a piercing whooshing sound.
"Who?!"
The sudden gust of wind made Luo Jiu's face turn cold. He swung his hammer backhand and slammed it down, colliding fiercely with the sharp energy that ripped through the sky.
"clang!"
The attack was explosive and powerful, but this time, the expected collapse of Luo Jiu did not occur. A tremendously powerful force was hidden within that gust of wind.
The immense force emanating from the hammer made Luo Jiu's heart tighten. He swung the hammer in his hand to protect himself and retreat quickly. Then, he looked up and saw that a young figure had appeared in front of Jiang Lei at some point.
The figure held a long halberd, and a dangerous aura emanated from him.
"You little beast, you've finally come out!"
Upon seeing that figure, Luo Jiu's eyes instantly turned ferocious, clearly indicating that the former was the culprit who had beaten Luo Shan into this miserable state.
"Which hand hit my son? If you know what's good for you, cut it off yourself. Otherwise, today, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Hearing Luo Jiu's venomous and ferocious voice, Lin Yi also revealed a cold smile on his face, "Then let's see if you have the ability!"
"Lin Yi!" Jiang Lei was also startled when he saw Lin Yi suddenly come to his aid. He immediately warned, "Be careful, Luo Jiu is very strong!"
Lin Yi nodded slightly, his gaze fixed on Luo Jiu in front of him. "Master Luo, why are you angry? I'm only doing this for your son's sake."
“The Great Wilderness County is quite chaotic. If he wanders around and accidentally offends someone, he might lose his life.”
“I have now broken your son’s limbs. He is now bedridden at home and unable to go out, so he cannot provoke any powerful enemies. Isn’t that the same as saving your son’s life? You should be thanking me.”
"You sharp-tongued little beast, you're asking for death!"
Luo Jiu was clearly enraged by Lin Yi's words. He roared furiously, and then a powerful burst of Yuan energy suddenly erupted from the heavy hammer in his hand, which slammed heavily onto the ground.
Instantly, the ground cracked open, and powerful forces, like an earth dragon tearing through the ground, blasted towards Lin Yi with lightning speed!
"Humph!"
Facing Luo Jiu's attack, Lin Yi snorted coldly, stomped his ancient halberd heavily on the ground, and a powerful dark force burst forth from the ground like a golden lightning bolt, finally colliding fiercely with the earth dragon.
"boom!"
The earth dragon and golden light collided, instantly unleashing a powerful surge of Yuan energy. The impact directly tore thick cracks into the ground!
The golden light shattered the earth dragon and spread towards Luo Jiu's feet.
"Sure enough, you have some skills!"
Seeing that his attack had been blocked by Lin Yi, Luo Jiu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he slammed his heavy hammer down on the ground again, finally dissipating the impact of the golden light.
“Master Luo Jiu, I will fight you on the martial arts stage tomorrow on behalf of the Eagle Martial Arts School. If you have any tricks up your sleeve, feel free to use them. If you want to avenge your son, you can join me.”
Lin Yi pointed his ancient halberd at Luo Jiu and suddenly laughed, "Of course, if you want to start a full-scale war today, I think Eagle Martial Arts Academy will also be happy to oblige."
"Master Luo Jiu, are you prepared to settle this with a duel on the martial arts stage, or will you allow the two martial arts schools to engage in a free-for-all?"
"you?"
Upon hearing this, not only was Luo Jiu startled, but Jiang Lei and the two sides were also momentarily stunned.
"Hmph, this is a matter between my Blood Eagle Martial Arts School and Eagle Martial Arts School. Who do you think you are to interfere?" Luo Jiu's eyes were somewhat gloomy as he sneered.
"Is it okay for me to join Eagle Martial Arts School now, Brother Jiang?" Lin Yi smiled slightly and turned to ask Jiang Lei.
"Haha, of course no problem," Jiang Lei was a little surprised, but he reacted quickly and burst out laughing. "That's right, Brother Lin Yi's words represent my meaning."
Standing at the entrance of the martial arts school, Jiang Xue breathed a long sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Yi's words. Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she gazed at the young figure holding the halberd, a subtle ripple in her gaze.
"Fine, since Jiang Lei, you want to entrust the fate of Eagle Martial Arts School to this little beast, then I will grant your wish. Tomorrow on the martial arts stage, I will kill this little beast in front of everyone, and Eagle Martial Arts School will finally disband!"
Luo Jiu's eyes flickered for a moment before he said coldly.
Luo Jiu and Lin Yi had the same idea: to kill each other on the fighting stage without implicating their respective martial arts schools.
Otherwise, even the victorious side would suffer heavy losses in a chaotic battle.
This is also why Luo Jiu chose to challenge Jiang Lei instead of directly attacking the Eagle Martial Arts School.
"go!"
After uttering those harsh words, Luo Jiu cast a sinister glance at Jiang Lei and the people from Eagle Martial Arts School before leaping back onto his horse and leading the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School's forces away.
"Brother Lin Yi, thank you for your help this time!" After the people from the Blood Vulture Martial Arts School left, Jiang Lei sheathed his heavy sword, clasped his hands in a respectful fist salute to Lin Yi, and said.
Lin Yi smiled faintly, "As long as Brother Jiang is at ease that I will fight in place of the Eagle Martial Arts School, that's fine. I haven't killed anyone who has reached the Great Perfection of the Shaping Realm yet!"

The next day.
As the morning sun shone on Eagle City, the entire city seemed to come alive with a burst of energy.
Countless people surged toward the location in the city center. Everyone knew that today, a life-or-death battle would take place on that martial arts arena!
