Chapter 1043: Chapter 1041: Weng Wei! Playing with Kang Shiyun!

The Great Desolation Skill truly made Lin Bai feel both love and hate.

He loved it because it allowed him to enhance his strength in a short period of time, capable of exerting the power to turn the tide.

He hated it because the side effects of the Great Desolation Skill were simply too dangerous for Lin Bai: after using it, he would lie on the ground like a cripple, for one day at the shortest, or up to three days at the latest.

Lin Bai had once vowed that unless it was a matter of life and death, he would absolutely not use the Great Desolation Skill.

Leaning against the stone wall, Lin Bai looked at Kang Shiyun’s expressionlessly worried face.

Lin Bai knew that Kang Shiyun was worried about Kang Yiyang.

"Your brother is truly a good person," Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing Lin Bai speak, Kang Shiyun squeezed a smile onto her face and said, "Yes, my brother has always liked to be competitive, and he doesn’t like to owe people anything."

"Not just my brother, I am the same way, and so is my family."

"Our family’s creed is: a grudge must be avenged, a debt must be repaid!"

"You saved us in the Direct Disciple Palace, so my brother had to save you, to repay you for saving his life!"

Lin Bai smiled and said, "I never expected that there would be a family as righteous and loyal as yours in this world. If I, Lin Bai, get through this crisis, I would truly like to visit your family."

Kang Shiyun smiled and said, "Sure, but if you do come, the people in my family are all combative, and they will surely want to spar with you."

"That’s not a problem. Warriors are naturally competitive."

Lin Bai smiled faintly.

"Don’t talk anymore, just focus on healing your injuries," Kang Shiyun said with a light smile.

"My injuries are not a serious issue. It’s just that I’ve overdrawn too much of my life’s potential by using a secret skill, which is why I am so weak. This is not something I can recover from; it has to heal on its own over time," Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

"Oh, did you really obtain all the treasures from the Direct Disciple Palace?" Kang Shiyun asked in astonishment. "You actually got all the possessions of that Direct Disciple from the mouths of the seven Great Demons and nine Spiritual Children?"

Lin Bai smiled faintly, "Although I did obtain them, as you can see, it came at a terrible cost."

"To be able to leave alive is already defying the heavens. Those were seven Great Demons and nine Spiritual Children! It’s not just because you’re only at the Third Level of Earth Elixir Realm in strength; even Warriors of the same realm as them would struggle to escape alive from their clutches!"

"You’re already very impressive," Kang Shiyun stated softly.

Lin Bai gave a self-deprecating chuckle, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes as he secretly thought: If only my strength were greater, I wouldn’t be in such a sorry state, and I might even have had the power to slay them!

In the blink of an eye.

Two days had passed.

Over these two days, Lin Bai’s feeling of weakness gradually subsided.

"Soon, very soon. I expect by dusk today, the weakness from the Great Desolation Skill will have completely disappeared," Lin Bai thought as he looked at the blazing sun in the sky, which was now about two hours from sunset.

Rustle, rustle, rustle—

At that moment, a sound came from the forest.

"Someone’s coming."

Lin Bai’s expression turned grave.

Kang Shiyun quickly got up and went to the mouth of the cave, looking outside, she said, "It’s a group of Warriors at the Fifth Level of Earth Elixir Realm. The leader is... Weng Wei!"

Seeing Weng Wei, Kang Shiyun’s expression darkened.

"You know him?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

"Weng Wei is Shi Banhu’s lackey. He was originally the direct heir of a family in Lingdong and has been accustomed to acting high-handedly since childhood," Kang Shiyun said with a displeased look.

"If they discover this mountain cave later, just go. Don’t pay with your life for me anymore," Lin Bai pondered for a moment and then said to Kang Shiyun.

Kang Shiyun turned her head to Lin Bai and said, "I said before, as soon as you recover your cultivation, I will leave. As long as you haven’t recovered, I won’t leave!"

"I will protect you!"

On Kang Shiyun’s beautiful and exquisite face, she said to Lin Bai very seriously.

But Kang Shiyun was only at the Fifth Level of the Earth Elixir Realm, and Weng Wei and the Warriors with him were all about the Fifth Level of Earth Elixir Realm. Once Weng Wei discovered the mountain cave and found Lin Bai, with Kang Shiyun’s cultivation, it would be difficult to protect Lin Bai, and she might even lose her life.

Kang Shiyun’s beautiful eyes shifted, and she picked up a handful of soil from the ground, smeared it on Lin Bai’s face, and said, "No matter what happens, don’t move, understand?"

"What are you going to do?"

Lin Bai watched Kang Shiyun with cold eyes and asked.

Kang Shiyun’s eyes showed a hint of determination.

Just at that moment!

Several Warriors walked through the woods, and suddenly one of them, a young man with a sinister expression, glanced coldly towards the direction of the cave and shouted, "Who is there sneaking around, come out!"

Immediately, Weng Wei’s hand shone with Sword Aura, and a stream of Sword Qi directly cut off the branches at the entrance of the cave, revealing Kang Shiyun and Lin Bai within!

"Oh, I thought it was who! Turns out it’s Kang Yiyang’s sister, Kang Shiyun," said the sinister young man as he looked at Kang Shiyun, a smile appearing on his face.

"Weng Wei, what are you doing here?" Kang Shiyun asked coldly.

"What I’m doing here is none of your business, but you, sneaking out behind your brother’s back and having an affair with some wild man here?" Weng Wei said teasingly.

"Senior Brother Weng Wei, that person looks familiar."

"It seems like it’s Lin Bai who Spirit Su Cang is looking for..."

"Right, right, right, that’s Lin Bai!"

The five Warriors behind Weng Wei looked at Lin Bai excitedly and said.

Upon hearing this, Weng Wei said ecstatically, "So he is Lin Bai, the one who took away all the Treasures from the Direct Disciple Palace! Hahaha, the heavens have opened their eyes, allowing us to find him!"

"Kang Shiyun, step aside, or else watch out, we’ll not hesitate to destroy beauty!" Weng Wei said coldly to Kang Shiyun.

"You must be mistaken, Weng Wei, look at how unkempt he is, how could he possibly be Lin Bai?" Kang Shiyun said, "Lin Bai already left two days ago."

"If you say he’s not Lin Bai, then who is he? And what is his relationship with you?" Weng Wei said mockingly.

Upon hearing this, Kang Shiyun’s face turned cold and she said, "A man and a woman alone, in this desolate and uninhabited Dense Forest, what do you think our relationship is?"

As she spoke these words, a hint of red appeared on Kang Shiyun’s pretty face.

"Hahaha, Kang Shiyun, you are after all one of the top ten beauties chosen by the warriors of Miracle Ridge, don’t you feel ashamed to say such things?" Weng Wei said mockingly.

"It’s none of your business, Weng Wei, just leave and don’t disturb us," Kang Shiyun said puffingly.

Weng Wei said with interest, "We can leave, but I have a condition!"

"What condition?" Kang Shiyun asked curiously.

"If you can take three strikes from me without dying, I will leave, but you can only take them, not fight back," Weng Wei said with a teasing laugh.

After hearing these words from Weng Wei, the five Warriors behind him urgently said, "Senior Brother Weng Wei, that is Lin Bai, I swear on my life, how can we just leave so easily?"

"Yes, Senior Brother Weng Wei, if we kill Lin Bai, we can get all the Treasures on his body!"

The five Warriors said eagerly.

Weng Wei laughed and said, "Don’t worry, my Junior Brothers, since Lin Bai is seriously injured, he won’t recover any time soon, and only we are here, do you think they can escape from our palms?"

"Let’s play with Kang Shiyun first!"

"This girl, she is one of the top ten beauties after all!"

Weng Wei said with a lecherous smile.
