Chapter 26

The four young women were full of righteous indignation, and if they were caught, Ao Long and Ling Dao would surely not have a good time. Ling Dao had already figured out that the four women were all inner disciples, at least at the True Qi Realm, clearly stronger than him.

"It seems you are one of us. Let's leave here first, and then we can discuss it further!"

Looking at the four young women rushing over, Ao Long directly grabbed Ling Dao and ran away. It wasn't that Ao Long couldn't fight the four young women, but he didn't want to expose his identity. If people found out he had spied on his junior sisters bathing, it would be a very embarrassing situation.

It had to be said that Ao Long's speed was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had taken Ling Dao away from there. The four young women could only look angrily into the distance, but they had no way to catch Ao Long and Ling Dao.

"Senior Sister, who could it be, to be so outrageous?"

"How would I know? If I catch them, I'll kill them!"

"It's too much, and there were two of them!"

"We can't come here to bathe anymore, it's not safe!"

The junior sisters Zhen'er, Ya'er, Yuer, and Tong'er, whose faces were now flushed with anger, gritted their teeth. Unfortunately, they only saw two backs and couldn't catch up at all.

No matter how angry they were, it was of no use. Even with Ling Dao, Ao Long's speed was much faster than theirs, and they couldn't catch up. They hadn't even seen Ling Dao and Ao Long's faces, so even if they wanted revenge, they had no target.

...

"There's no need to run anymore, they can't catch up!"

What Ling Dao didn't expect was that Ao Long would be so nervous and timid. Earlier, Ao Long had been running with all his might, and it was only because of his strength that they managed to escape the four junior sisters. If it were Ling Dao alone, he definitely wouldn't have been able to escape the four young women's pursuit.

"You're so calm, but you almost got me killed. If they saw it was me, I'd have no face to show anyone. If you wanted to peek at them bathing, you could have told me. I could have taken you, no need to scare me like that!"

Ao Long immediately jumped up, pointing at Ling Dao's nose and shouting loudly. He still glanced back, clearly guilty, afraid of being caught by those women. Every time before, it had been very safe, but this time he almost got caught.

"Why aren't you talking? Do you know, if I hadn't taken you to run away, you would have been caught by them by now. Given what you did earlier, they would have torn you apart. Angry women are the most terrifying. I saved your life, you know?"

Ling Dao gave Ao Long a faint look and then found a large rock to sit down. Earlier, Ao Long had dragged him away at such a high speed, which naturally left him extremely tired. After all, he was only at the Bone Tempering Realm, and couldn't compare to Ao Long.

"I was just passing by and didn't plan to peek at them bathing. If you hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have had any trouble. It's clearly your fault, so why are you blaming me?"

Both Ling Dao's attitude and tone surprised Ao Long. The disciples of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect all treated him with respect, but Ling Dao was different. There was only one explanation: Ling Dao didn't recognize him.

"What a loss, if I had known you didn't recognize me, I wouldn't have taken you to run away. I would have let them catch you!"

The reason Ao Long had taken Ling Dao with him earlier was that he was afraid Ling Dao would be caught and reveal his identity. If the entire Sky Splitting Sword Sect knew that Ao Long had spied on the junior sisters bathing, Ao Long would be terrified.

"Even if I don't recognize you, can't I describe your appearance? Do you think they wouldn't know it was you?"

Ling Dao still didn't know who Ao Long was, but from Ao Long's earlier nervousness, the four women definitely recognized him, and Ao Long was afraid of being discovered. Seeing Ling Dao's stubbornness, Ao Long frowned and looked at the young man in front of him for the first time.

"Kid, you just joined the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, right? Fifteen years old, and only at the Bone Tempering Realm, your talent isn't great. Do you know how many disciples want my guidance? How can you have such an attitude towards me?"

Ling Dao's attitude really annoyed Ao Long, but it also made him look at Ling Dao differently. Used to flattery, seeing someone like Ling Dao was quite rare. Unfortunately, Ling Dao's realm was too low, and he didn't catch Ao Long's eye.

"Who you are is not important to me, and I don't need your guidance. My path, I walk myself; my sword, I use myself. It has nothing to do with you!"

After a brief rest, Ling Dao had recovered. He looked at Ao Long, then stood up, preparing to leave. Just as he turned around, Ao Long, standing not far away, suddenly attacked.

A pair of large hands came down on Ling Dao, like two small mountains, pressing him so hard he couldn't breathe. Ao Long's strength was incredibly powerful, far surpassing Gao Bufan.

Ling Dao also turned around quickly, raising his hands to meet Ao Long's attack. Ao Long was taller than Ling Dao, and his palms came down with the force of a mountain, forcing Ling Dao to use all his strength.

"Bang"

Ling Dao's feet sank into the soil, but his expression didn't change. He didn't know why Ao Long had attacked him, but Ao Long's strength was too great, and he couldn't hide it, showing all his power.

"Good kid, to have such strength at the Bone Tempering Realm is simply unbelievable!"

Ao Long was extremely surprised. When he was at the Bone Tempering Realm, his strength was definitely not as powerful. If he guessed correctly, Ling Dao probably had tens of thousands of pounds of strength in one hand. This was terrifying; some True Qi Realm martial artists might not be as strong.

"Too weak, too weak, completely defenseless!"

Despite his surprise, Ao Long shouted. The strength in his palms grew stronger, and Ling Dao's lower body was almost completely buried in the soil. Meeting strength with strength, Ling Dao naturally didn't retreat.

All his bones "cracked" as Ling Dao felt his strength converge in his hands. The blood in his body flowed rapidly, like small streams converging into a large river. This feeling was not unfamiliar to him; he had already touched the Blood Condensation Realm. Given a few days, he would definitely step into the Blood Condensation Realm!
