Chapter 1290: Two Weaklings
Even so, they were in a difficult position because the Medicinal Saint Valley had a partnership with them. If they offended the Medicinal Saint Valley for this reason, it would be very hard for them to obtain the spirit pills provided by the valley once they leave.
But, doesn't the Medicinal Saint Valley claim to only refine antidotes and not poisons? Why did a disciple suddenly appear to snatch their Black Lotus Grass?
They began to doubt Lin Yifan's identity, suspecting that Lin Yifan might be a disciple from another sect posing as a disciple of the Medicinal Saint Valley to intimidate them.
"What proof do you have to show you are a disciple of the Medicinal Saint Valley?"
"The waist token on me!" Lin Yifan replied.
You Jun and Fu Haowei instructed their junior brothers to shine a flashlight on Lin Yifan's waist to check his waist token.
The junior brothers didn't dare to delay and immediately turned on their flashlights, shining them toward Lin Yifan's waist.
The flashlight beam fell on Lin Yifan's waist, revealing a jade pendant in everyone's view.
The jade pendant was exquisite and unique, not resembling a counterfeit.
Eliminating the possibility of forgery, You Jun and Fu Haowei focused their gaze on the engraved words on the jade pendant.
The three large characters "Medicinal Saint Valley" were clearly inscribed on the jade pendant, confirming Lin Yifan's identity as a disciple of the Medicinal Saint Valley.
After confirming Lin Yifan's identity, they questioned further, "Isn't the Medicinal Saint Valley's motto to help the world? Why do you need the poisonous herb?"
"To refine antidotes, haven't you heard of using poison to fight poison?" Lin Yifan retorted.
"Absurd, the concept of using poison to fight poison only appears in novels, it's impossible in reality. You must want to practice making poison to harm the world."
You Jun and Fu Haowei directly accused Lin Yifan, piercing through his lie.
"Say whatever you like, but I'm determined to take this Black Lotus Grass!"
Lin Yifan's stance was firm, calm, and unafraid of You Jun and Fu Haowei's challenge.
"Want to take the Black Lotus Grass? You'll have to get past us first!"
You Jun and Fu Haowei drew their weapons simultaneously, making their intentions clear.
Lin Yifan was alone, and they weren't afraid, even if other disciples of the Medicinal Saint Valley were hiding and ready to act. Because the combined power of their two sects was more than enough to deal with one from the Medicinal Saint Valley.
Lin Yifan did all this to provoke them into making a move, taunting, "Come on, let me see your strength."
"Arrogant!"
You Jun and Fu Haowei spat out the word simultaneously, immensely agitated by Lin Yifan.
A young brat dared to seize their treasure in broad daylight, courting death. Even if he were a disciple of the Medicinal Saint Valley, it was intolerable.
In the next moment, with no concern for the consequences, You Jun and Fu Haowei immediately launched an attack on Lin Yifan.
The lower realm junior brothers did not intervene because they believed the two senior brothers would be enough to handle Lin Yifan. After all, they had just dealt with a Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak iron-skinned twin-headed snake; how hard could Lin Yifan be to handle?
Facing the attacks from two fatigued and ordinary Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak cultivators, Lin Yifan appeared lazy and contemptuous.
He leisurely adjusted his position, evading attacks as if everything was under his control.
You Jun and Fu Haowei were shocked yet embarrassed and angry.
Did Lin Yifan really hold them in such low regard? Despite being the strongest realm cultivators in the secret realm, why didn't he counterattack?
They were also surprised at how easily Lin Yifan dodged their attacks. After all, they were Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak masters; even if weakened, they shouldn't be insignificant. How did Lin Yifan manage it? Could he also be a Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak master?
This was the only conclusion they could come to.
The two sect disciples encircling Lin Yifan were also astonished by the abilities he displayed. Lin Yifan indeed possessed some strength, which explained his boldness in trying to seize their treasure.
On the other side, Du Yuze, watching secretly, couldn't help but admire, "It seems the boss loves showing off!"
"That fluid movement technique is simply mesmerizing!"
Xiao Fang instantly became enamored, filled with affection for Lin Yifan.
This gave Du Yuze goosebumps, causing him discomfort. He couldn't help asking, "Junior sister, aren't you exaggerating a bit? I've never heard you praise senior brother this much."
"This is different, okay? Senior brother is my elder, while Yifan is my partner," Xiao Fang explained seriously, unwilling to mix the two together.
"Look at you, all lovey-dovey, it's unbearable."
Du Yuze rubbed his goosebump-covered arms, clearly uncomfortable.
"Haha, it's intense, so what? If you can't stand it, then don't hang out with Yifan and me."
Xiao Fang pouted, proudly and smugly.
"No, junior sister, please don't send me away. I really don't want to associate with those shortsighted, hypocritical people."
Du Yuze felt a deep fear.
He referred to Qiu Yi and his group as the shortsighted, hypocritical ones, disinclined to mingle with them anymore.
"Alright! You're the only farsighted one!"
Xiao Fang chuckled bitterly, not wanting to argue further; because Du Yuze spoke truth, only those with foresight could see Lin Yifan's potential.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Lin Yifan took no counteraction for a long time, aiming to intimidate You Jun and Fu Haowei, making them aware of his prowess.
You Jun and Fu Haowei were panting, exhausted. They had just battled a Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak spirit beast and consumed a large amount of cultivation power, incapable of delivering more aggressive attacks.
"Kid, just dodging, what ability is that?"
"I worry that if I strike, I might inadvertently kill you," Lin Yifan replied calmly.
There was composure in his tone, with a hint of arrogance.
"Arrogant! Do you think a mere Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage cultivator like you can kill us?"
You Jun and Fu Haowei sneered repeatedly.
Through the long battle, they estimated Lin Yifan's realm—Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Early Stage, without a doubt.
Yet, this realm they usually regarded as trivial made them feel powerless and at wit's end.
They were, after all, Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak cultivators, unable to even touch the clothes of a mere early-stage younger cultivator, leaving them utterly humiliated.
"Dare to look down on me, then I'll show you my might!"
With those words, Lin Yifan unsheathed his sword, exhibiting the "Three Pure Ones Combining into One" super martial arts, manifesting three clones attacking You Jun and Fu Haowei from different angles.
To deal with these "weaklings" (weakened and ordinary), super martial arts sufficed.
With no more words, Lin Yifan attacked, terrifying You Jun and Fu Haowei.
They weren't mentally prepared for such suddenness.
Furthermore, they were shocked by the power aura Lin Yifan unleashed.
This power aura was almost equal to theirs, indicating Lin Yifan possessed similar strength.
