Chapter 222: Du Gumo, Caught In Between!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Du Gumo!

Before anyone noticed, he had already come to the foot of the stage. His stature was a straight as a sword. One step at a time, he made his way up the stairs.

Ling Yun sensed that a true expert in martial arts was approaching. He did not know whether he could take him on.

Du Gumo quickly came up the stairs to stand in front of Ling Yun and Long Wu.

Ling Yun had already turned around to face Du Gumo. Lin Yin’s crystal-clear eyes that were as calm as a lake observed Du Gumo.

“The feeling from this guy! It’s just like an unsheathed sword!!” Feeling the overwhelming power emanating from Du Gumo, Ling Yun thought quietly to himself.

The Du Gu Family specialised in the way of the sword. Du Gumo was a swords specialist at the pinnacle of Houtian Stage Level 8. However, his strength was way beyond that of a regular Houtian Pinnacle Stage Level 9 warrior.

With so many people around, there was no way he could start a fight with Ling Yun. Instead, he could only intentionally release his aura so that Ling Yun would not dare to act recklessly. He attempted to scare Ling Yun into submission.

Du Gumo believed that Ling Yun would be able to sense his aura.

Ling Yun looked up and down, casually evaluating Du Gumo’s strength with a few glances.

The tips of his mouth curved up into a playful smile. Intentionally staring at Du Gumo’s long obnoxious hair, he said, “Little girl, if you have no business here, go play somewhere else. Don’t be nosy and pretend you belong here!”

Pfft! With one sentence, he nearly made Du Gumo who was arrogantly standing there spit blood.

“What?! Little girl?!” With a pair of bright eyes, Du Gumo stared unbelievingly at Ling Yun. He was so mad that he did not know what to say!

Ling Yun felt that in an instant, the piercing aura from Du Gumo surrounding him had vanished in an instant. Smirking, he casually asked, “What? Your hair is so long. Aren’t you a little girl?”

Finally catching up to the situation, Long Wu broke out into laughter uncontrollably to the extent that she couldn’t breathe properly.

Du Gumo was about to explode. After standing there stunned for a while, he aggressively stepped forward, pulling up his long hair from his shoulders to the back of his head. He shouted at Ling Yun, “Brat, open your eyes and take a good look now. Do you still think that I, Du Gumo, am a woman?! Huh?! Take a good look!”

Ling Yun remained calm, but his words were relentless. Pretending to be more serious, he scanned Du Gumo for a while and asked curiously, “I’m not wrong. You’re a woman. But... why is your chest so tiny?”

With that, he even intentionally made eye contact with Long Wu who was clutching onto her stomach and laughing non-stop. His intention was clear.Look, her breasts are so huge!

“Scum! I’ll kill you!” Du Gumo was furious. He was so aggravated by Ling Yun that he went straight into a rampage. He formed a blade with his index and middle finger of his right hand, and a streak of lightning shot towards Ling Yun’s neck!

Du Gumo wanted to first immobilize the brat before him and then take him to a deserted place to teach him a good lesson!

Du Gumo’s attack was stronger by many times in comparison to Xuan Qi’s and Xuan Jiu’s. Ling Yun dodged back about 1 meter. Even though Ling Yun had already been prepared, he was still almost hit by Du Gumo!

With just a casual attack, Ling Yun had to put in his all to dodge it. The stronger one could be seen immediately!

“So fast!” In an instant, Ling Yun could tell Du Gumo’s strength and capabilities. He knew that he was no match for his opponent. He vowed to remain more careful in his heart.

He... actually dodged it? Du Gumo stared at his sword finger unbelievably and was secretly shocked!

Of the various Traditional Art Families in China, there was an unspoken agreement: unless there was no other choice, they wouldn’t display their powers in front of regular people. They also wouldn’t use their martial arts to oppress regular humans. Whether they were practitioners of martial arts or other unorthodox methods, as long as they resided in the prospering lands of China, they abided by this agreement. Otherwise, they would have attracted the attention of all of the largest families, sects, and even the government top-secret agencies and would have been assassinated.

This was why regular people could rarely see cultivators of traditional arts.

Du Gumo was a descendant of the Du Gu Family. Naturally he knew this, so even though he only made a move because he was extremely angry, he still abided by the agreement to avoid attracting the attention of others.

Looks like this place isn’t suitable to teach this brat a lesson anymore. I have to wait until he leaves... Du Gumo made plans in his heart and slowly calmed down again.

Turning to look at Long Wu who was crying from laughter, he scratched his head awkwardly and laughed, “Miss, with me protecting you, this brat won’t dare to bully you again. Go back now!”

Who would have guessed that Long Wu would not even appreciate his gesture? Instead, she drew back her laughter and coldly rolled her eyes at Du Gumo. “Who asked you to interfere between him and me?! Busybody!”

“Ugh...” This time, the innocent and naive Du Gumo really vomited blood. Why were women from the outside all like this? I helped you out of kindness; even if you didn’t give your thanks, how could you call me a busybody?!

Ling Yun was 1 meter away, prudently guarding himself against Du Gumo’s next attack. He looked Long Wu strangely, thinking to himself, Long Wu is acting strangely tonight!

He heard Long Wu continue to talk to Du Gumo coldly. “This is between him and me. I don’t need anyone else to interfere. Leave!”

Du Gumo saw that he didn’t manage to get on the good side of anyone. Looking at Ling Yun, he said coldly, “Brat, we’re not finished yet. You better remember this, my name is Du Gumo!”

Smirking, Ling Yun said, “Little girl Du Gumo, you should remember this too: my name is Ling Yun.”

Seeing that Ling Yun still hadn’t let that go, he was embarrassed and outraged as he pointed at Ling Yun. “You...”

He wanted to challenge Ling Yun to a duel immediately, but he saw Cao Shanshan who had already walked out of her lounge. He then looked at Long Wu’s unkind expression.

Feeling the injustice of the situation, he angrily returned to his seat.

Cao Shanshan stared at Du Gumo’s retreating back thoughtfully and worriedly looked at Ling Yun. “Are you okay?”

Ling Yun nodded at Cao Shanshan as he smiled to signal that he was okay.

Long Wu glanced at Ling Yun with her large eyes. She felt relieved that he was fine, but instead said, “Hmph. I’ll come again later for payback! Also, you’re not allowed to hug her again!”

After her parting remarks, Long Wu brought her complicated feelings back to her seat. Glancing at Du Gumo who was sitting nearby, she felt fear from within her heart. A strong trail of goosebumps ran down her back!

As the daughter of Green Dragon’s Boss Long Kun, Long Wu knew some martial arts. Even though she was not very good at it, she was still better than Cao Shanshan.

Although Du Gumo had intentionally used his body to block her line of sight when he attacked, she had still managed to catch the flash of lightning flying toward Ling Yun. Her heart had skipped a beat when she thought that it was over for Ling Yun. Strangely, she had felt quite worried!

If something really happened to Ling Yun because of her, then...

She had seen her own father Long Kun display his martial arts in front of her before. She knew that even her father wasn’t at the level Du Gumo was at.

What made her even more shocked was that Ling Yun had actually managed to dodge that lightning!

This... Didn’t this mean that even her father couldn’t defeat Ling Yun?!

Long Wu quietly sat on her own seat as she furtively stole glances at Du Gumo. From time to time, she ground her teeth as she stared at Ling Yun’s room seething with rage.

But she realised that even though she had made a scene like that, Ling Yun still hadn’t made a move on her. Secretly, she felt a rush of happiness.

“Hmph... At least you’re still gentlemanly!”

...

Taking Cao Shanshan back to the room slowly, he sat down with Cao Shanshan and lightly released a breath of air!

A real expert had finally appeared!

Cao Shanshan saw Ling Yun who was deep in thought. Thinking about it for a while, she said, “His name is Du Gumo. It’s likely that he’s from Du Gu Family...”

Ling Yun turned his head and stared at Cao Shanshan. “Du Gu family? Are they from the Traditional Arts Families?”

Without any hesitation, Cao Shanshan nodded her head. “Yes, not only are they from the Traditional Arts Families, but I’ve also heard my grandfather say that they’re one of the strongest Traditional Arts Families too. Legend says that they have plenty of high-levelled fighters...”

In his heart, Ling Yun calculated for a bit and nodded his head slightly, not saying anything more.

Cao Shanshan held onto Ling Yun’s elbow. Pressing her soft curves tightly on Ling Yun’s body as she leaned onto him, she said, “The only reason why he didn’t make another move just now is because there’s too many people here. He was afraid that if he started a fight here with you, he would attract unnecessary trouble...”

Ling Yun nodded once again.

“You don’t have to be too worried. If he dares to find trouble you again, just bring up the Cao family’s name. I believe that he’ll have to think twice about fighting you then.”

After that dance, Cao Shanshan no longer held anything back for Ling Yun and suggested such this idea to her beloved.

Ling Yun knew that Cao Shanshan was worried about him. Gently, he pulled her closer by her waist as he laughed. “Don’t worry, I can handle him!”

But in his heart, Ling Yun knew his own limits. He didn’t know what level Du Gumo was at, but he knew that even if he managed to reach the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Four, he would still need to struggle for his life before Du Gumo.

The true warriors in this world are very strong! And by a lot! Very calmly, Ling Yun reevaluated his own strength and potential.

“Looks like before I reach the Qi Cultivation Stage, I’ll have to stay low-key...”

Unconsciously, he looked outside his room where Du Gumo was seated.

“Ling Yun, why... why does Green Dragon’s Boss’ daughter keep saying that she definitely won’t marry you?”

Till the very end, Cao Shanshan couldn’t help but throw this question out carefully.

For a girl like this, she would only ask such a question if she were forced to marry someone she desperately hated. Therefore, Cao Shanshan definitely had to ask this question.

Ling Yun could only feel that the situation was in a complete mess in that moment. Irritated, he let out a laugh as he looked at the curious Cao Shanshan. “Even if you ask me this, who am I supposed to ask? She’s probably gone crazy.”
