Chapter 2288 - 2288 2278 Scaring Them Away

2288: Chapter 2278: Scaring Them Away 2288: Chapter 2278: Scaring Them Away Long Yan’s words quelled everyone present, but those standing behind Qian Jiang were also silenced, no one daring to step forward for the time being, especially with Jin Ge here, who would dare?

“Senior Brothers, we need not fear, he’s just one man and can’t withstand all of our attacks,” one of them said.

Qian Jiang tried to invigorate the atmosphere by speaking up, as he saw his own people showing a dip in morale, but his words caught Long Yan’s attention.

“Hmph, come and try it yourself,” Long Yan retorted.

A bitter emotion welled up inside Long Yan because the inner injuries he had sustained in the fight with Wang Lei had not yet healed.

Despite appearing powerful and domineering, in reality, Long Yan’s combat power had severely dwindled; otherwise, the kick he delivered just now would not have merely crippled Jin Ge but killed him outright.

“This…”

Although Qian Jiang had gone all out in his previous attack, it had been effortlessly neutralized by Long Yan, leaving him uncertain.

Long Yan started to feel anxious upon seeing the hesitation in Qian Jiang’s face.

“Big Brother Yan, why not just kill them all?

With me as your support, you’ll be fine,” Luo Pin suddenly stepped forward and suggestively leaned on Long Yan’s shoulder, her demeanor that of a peerless beauty.

Yet, her words sent a chill down the spines of Qian Jiang and the others.

Qian Jiang’s mind began racing.

Of course, they were well aware of who Luo Pin was.

Speaking of the Shengdao Alliance, it was a colossal entity everyone feared.

Their Sky Clan was merely the top sect within Saint Que, but the Shengdao Alliance was ranked amongst the top organizations within the Sacred Continent.

Now, a strange look appeared in Qian Jiang’s eyes.

How could the Saintess of the Shengdao Alliance take an interest in someone like Long Yan, a “poor kid”?

It had to be said that everything that occurred today had far exceeded Qian Jiang’s imagination.

Feeling the odd gazes from the opposite side, Luo Pin’s cheeks also flushed red.

With the situation urgent, she only had this method to rely on, as Lingxi watched her with a gaze sharp enough to devour her.

But the act must go on.

With this thought, Luo Pin calmed herself slightly and then nestled half of her body against Long Yan’s, asking in a seductive voice.

“Yes, the Sky Clan should’ve heard about my close relationship with Brother Yan, right?

What kind of relationship do you think it would take for us to be so intimate?”

Upon hearing Luo Pin call him Brother Yan, Long Yan’s body shook involuntarily.

Luo Pin was truly enchanting, her voice stirring a fire deep within Long Yan’s heart.

“Hmph, if it weren’t for the Sky Clan backing you, today I would twist off each of your heads, one by one,” Long Yan declared arrogantly as he glanced at Luo Pin.

His domineering action nearly made Luo Pin exclaim, but then she snuggled into his embrace, appearing coquettish.

Though it was all an act, Luo Pin felt her heart race, yet the sensation of being in Long Yan’s arms sparked a hint of infatuation.

“Let’s go.”

Seeing the two of them almost flirting with each other, Qian Jiang gave Long Yan a deep look and then led the way back in the direction they came from.

Thinking of the furious reaction from Ling Yutian when learning about Wang Lei’s disappearance and Jin Ge’s defeat, Qian Jiang felt a tingling sensation in his scalp.

After watching Qian Jiang leave, the two did not separate, and Lingxi’s cold voice reached their ears.

“How much longer are you two planning to embrace?”

Lingxi’s words instantly caused Long Yan and Luo Pin to separate, then Long Yan, with an embarrassed look, scratched the back of his head.

“As expected, Luo Pin, a woman like you really can’t be kept around.”

After saying that, Lingxi drew the soft sword from her waist directly.

Long Yan hurried forward to embrace Lingxi, separating the two who were on the verge of fighting again.

“Big Brother Yan, you still protect him.”

Lingxi said discontentedly to Long Yan, with tears beginning to glisten in the corner of her eyes, causing Long Yan to feel a significant headache.

He took Lingxi into his arms and consoled her earnestly to calm her down.

“This play we’re acting can only deceive these minor characters, but it certainly can’t fool Ling Yutian.”

Hearing these words from Luo Pin, Long Yan nodded deeply in agreement.

Knowing that Ling Yutian is different from Qian Jiang, he’s an old fox who has reigned supreme within Saint Que; such a play can of course not deceive him.

“So what about Ling Yutian, my Brother Yan could easily defeat that kind of trash.”

Lingxi muttered in Long Yan’s arms but her words caused Luo Pin to frown slightly.

“If it were your Brother Yan in his prime, maybe he could fight it out, but now your Brother Yan is absolutely not a match for Ling Yutian.”

Although Lingxi hummed in dissatisfaction, she did not retort, as she was most familiar with Long Yan’s physical condition.

Normally, a nobody like Jin Ge would have been easily taken care of by Long Yan single-handedly, but out of necessity, today Jin Ge actually struggled, and from that moment on Lingxi knew something must be seriously wrong with her Brother Yan’s body.

Although she wanted to help at that time, seeing Luo Pin had already stepped forward, and although she really wanted to go up and stop her, she had no choice, the Shengdao Alliance spanned all the small worlds, certainly including Saint Que, and her identity as a princess of the Emperor Clan might still be useful within the Sacred Continent, but no one in Saint Que would recognize her.

“Hmm, I know all this, but right now I also have no other choice, I can only focus on recovering my health first,” said Long Yan.

Long Yan just nodded.

After the battle with Wang Lei, he felt his Cultivation Base starting to waver again, which was the first time this had happened since perfecting his Domain.

It was possible that he might ascend soon.

Of course, when people like Qian Jiang return to the Sky Clan, they would definitely realize they’ve been duped, and the next person to come would likely be Ling Yutian himself, so Long Yan could only use this time to recover.

Luo Pin opened her mouth to speak but then said nothing.

She wanted to suggest sending people from the Shengdao Alliance to protect them, but that would mean Luo Pin should return to the Sacred Continent, where both major Sects and Clans are very pragmatic.

If Luo Pin asks for help from her Clan, it would imply she’s not yet capable of becoming the successor to the Shengdao Alliance.

This would also mean Luo Pin would lose her utilitarian value and would likely be immediately called back to her Clan, facing a future of being a part of a political marriage alliance between two Clans.

Luo Pin glanced at Long Yan’s profile.

Being by this man’s side, she wanted to stay forever, and if she were to go back now, she would certainly be unwilling.

Meanwhile, Long Yan was unaware of the complexity in Luo Pin’s heart at the moment, as he pondered what ways he might quickly recover.

Although Long Yan had many medicines in his hand for rapid recovery from injuries, almost all of them were of the Explosive Spirit Pill type, which caused tremendous harm to the body.

Even many medicines would spend Long Yan’s potential as the price, rendering them useless despite having Reaching Heaven methods.
