Chapter 257: Chapter 27: Take Action

On a mountain path, a carriage sped swiftly ahead. Beside it, four or five riders followed closely, their expressions tense, glancing around anxiously from time to time.

The mountain road was bumpy, causing the carriage to sway back and forth, yet they dared not stop for even a moment.

Up ahead was the famous narrow passage of Heilong Pool. Passing through the long, narrow gorge would take them out of Heilong Pool’s territory.

"That Lin Yuan is incredibly insidious, hiding so deeply with plans to make a startling revelation. It must be the scheming of the long-browed elder, aiming to boost the Yunyin lineage, truly detestable." As they neared the gorge, their guard slightly relaxed.

Once they exit the gorge, they could change routes to hide their tracks. Even if Lin Yuan were to pursue them, finding their trail would be nearly impossible.

The rider beside them, with a look of envy and hatred, said, "Qi Yu appeared, that lowly boy must be trying to impress the beauty and gain her favor. After all, Senior Sister Qi Yu’s beauty is unrivaled in Baiyan City."

"Cowardly, truly cowardly. That despicable person can fawn over Qi Yu, while we’re fleeing like dogs with their tails between their legs. When we return, we’ll likely become the laughingstock. It’s truly a great humiliation!" Another disciple in a gray robe also spoke in resentment, extremely resentful.

The last person, with a mature appearance, appeared much more alert, cautioning, "Everyone, calm down. Lin Yuan has the ability to crush Senior Brother He Run, which surpasses our level. It’s unwise to still see him with old eyes. If we manage to keep our lives on this trip, we should be thankful that Lin Yuan values beauty more, otherwise even if we survived, we’d be skinned."

As they were discussing, the carriage had already entered the gorge.

Neigh!

However, just as they stepped in, the leading horse suddenly neighed loudly. Its front hooves reared high, and the entire team’s speed sharply decreased.

"What’s happening?" The few who had been discussing turned pale simultaneously.

In front of them, a figure suddenly appeared on the wide road, standing silently in the middle of the road.

He was dressed in a long black robe, wearing a bamboo hat, and a cloak that shrouded him in shadow. His face was hidden behind a mask that seemed to be smirking.

Seeing the figure appear, standing silently in the middle of the road, the mask’s two dark eyes looked indifferently at the group.

"Who are you? Standing in the middle of the road, seeking death?" the gray-robed disciple pointed with the horsewhip, cursing with a facade of bravery but cowardice inside.

Yet the person did not respond, and after confirming their identities again, the face under the mask showed a faint smile.

He took a light step forward and slowly walked towards the caravan.

Though he was alone, the aura he exuded was profoundly intimidating, as if he alone could guard a formidable pass.

The disciples following He Run were ashen-faced at this moment.

Even the strong horses under them were disturbed by the aura of the person in black, snorting anxiously.

On horseback, it was clear to everyone what the person’s intention was.

Panic struck them suddenly.

"Lin Yuan, I know, you’re Lin Yuan. Don’t think that just because you wear a mask, we don’t know your identity," the same gray-robed disciple, face flushed with anger, cursed loudly.

"Lin Yuan, how dare you disregard the academy’s rules, planning to annihilate us? Aren’t you afraid the academy’s inspection team will imprison you?"

Once they regained their composure, they realized that the person hiding under the mask could only be Lin Yuan.

"Lin Yuan, aren’t you supposed to be with Senior Sister Qi Yu, serving her, yet you come here to kill us with even greater force? You’re truly audacious, lawless. If you dare kill us today, our Zheguang lineage will thoroughly investigate and make you pay."

"Stop immediately, let me go back."

Panic filled their hearts, yet they still tried to use speech as a threat to halt the person’s actions.

A smile appeared on the person’s face under the mask.

It was exactly this misunderstanding he wanted them to have.

"He Run dares to openly interfere with Heilong Pool matters, indeed not placing me in his eyes." His voice was deep, remarkably similar to the real Lin Yuan’s.

"Do you think you can come and go freely in my territory?" The voice behind the mask was extremely calm.

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly flickered.

Bang!

A crimson flame burst from his body, and an overpowering fist mark launched from his right fist.

Straight towards the carriage.

The horse instantly turned into a mess of flesh, exploding in all directions.

Yet the fist mark’s force did not stop, continuing to slam toward the carriage.

Bang.

Under the assault of the fist mark, the carriage suddenly shattered into pieces. The carriage exploded, and two disciples struggled to resist, managing to completely dissipate the power of the fist mark.

However, such power was far beyond what they could withstand.

Whoosh.

The two already spat out two mouthfuls of fresh blood, their faces suddenly turning white, their eyes filled with shock.

Behind them lay He Run and Shen Shuyan quietly on the soft couch in the carriage.

Under the horrified gazes of everyone, the masked man suddenly disappeared.

In the next moment.

Boom boom!

The disciple, who was just gasping for breath in the carriage, suddenly flew out horizontally, finally crashing onto the canyon walls.

The others finally understood the situation.

Seeing the man in black stepping on Shen Shuyan’s chest, they were immediately filled with rage and shouted, "Lin Yuan, you are truly despicable. How dare you disregard the martial regulations? What do you intend to do? Do you really think there’s no one in the Zheguang faction?"

The man in black glanced over, "Barking dogs, I’m going to kill you all today. What can you do about it?"

At this moment, He Run weakly opened his eyes, filled with hatred.

However, he was gravely injured, his chest heaving rapidly, showing he had no outlet for his fury.

"He Run, the genius ranked ninety-eighth? You ultimately couldn’t escape from my grasp, Lin Yuan."

The man in black laughed coldly.

"Lin, Lin Yuan, I will haunt you even as a ghost!" A flush of unnatural red crossed He Run’s face, and overwhelmed with rage, his eyes rolled back as he fainted once more.

But the man in black was unfazed, only smiling faintly.

Just as he was about to strike.

Slap!

Among the four, the disciple who retained a bit of calm slapped the horse’s flank and abruptly fled forward.

"I have to escape, only by escaping can I report this to the martial academy. Lin Yuan broke all bounds and killed He Run! This grudge cannot go unavenged. I must escape to bring Lin Yuan to the justice of the martial academy, an eye for an eye."

The horse, in pain, bolted, covering several feet within just a couple of breaths.

"Trying to run?"

A figure on the carriage suddenly moved, instantly darting out.

In a flash, they caught up with the fleeing individual.

With one punch, immense power burst from their body, slamming towards the person’s back.

Almost immediately, the disciple on horseback tried to dodge, but the gap in power was too vast.

Thud.

That person’s body was suddenly knocked off the horse, crashing to the ground in no time.

Seen landing headfirst, their head cracked open. After rolling several times on the ground, they left a long trail of blood, falling silent but still staring at the masked man, unwilling to die.

The man in black landed and turned back to look at the others again.

"It seems I’ll have to first kill you who can still run, to prevent any leak of information!"

The man in black laughed wildly, seeming to revel in the pleasure.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

He moved swiftly again, instantly appearing beside the three.

"Not good, this guy is truly insane, intends to wipe us all out here." Their eyes were filled with terror and anger.

Yet, the force of the masked man’s punches was overwhelmingly powerful, instantly knocking them all down.

Boom boom boom!

In just a breath, the three flew out instantly, crashing onto the canyon walls.

Their bodies slowly slid down, leaving three extremely bright red trails of blood on the rock face.

"Dead, finally some peace. Hahaha." The man in black laughed again.

He seemed extremely confident in his skills, with everyone perishing under his punches.

But beside the rock wall, a disciple slightly opened their eyes, then quietly closed them again.

"Lin Yuan, it seems you did not anticipate the protective armor my senior gave me, reducing some force, not killing me completely."

"You are too arrogant, too conceited." That person closed their eyes, yet beneath the fury, they felt a surge of vengeful satisfaction: "I’m still alive. When I return to the martial academy, I will surely disclose this to the academy, exposing your despicable and ugly face, and let all disciples of the Zheguang faction torment you to death bit by bit!"

A relentless flame of hatred burned in the depths of his heart.
