Rural Romantic Life

Chapter 356: The circle serves as the boundary; those who step on it bear the consequences.

Long Jingyun originally thought that by using a mid-grade Breaking Heaven Pill, he could use Gu Yuan to throw Lu Yang and the others down the mountain like trash, so that they would never be able to bathe in the spiritual spring. He could also temporarily collect some interest and watch the other party's miserable and pathetic appearance.

To his surprise, what he thought was a sure thing turned out to be the opposite of what he expected. Gu Yuan's steel-like claws were first crippled by Lu Yang, and then a deep, bone-revealing palm print was left on the chest of the other's steel-like body.

He stared at the handprint from afar, shocked but also feeling incredibly fortunate. He was glad he hadn't planned to take matters into his own hands; otherwise, he feared he would have been humiliated in front of everyone.

The seven young masters and noblemen summoned by Long Jingyun were also staring at Lu Yang with some shock. They had already learned from Long Jingyun that Lu Yang's martial arts were powerful, but they did not expect that he would be even stronger than Gu Yuan, a true dragon-like physique cultivator.

Especially Brother Cui, whose pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly. He kept weighing the gap between himself and Lu Yang in his mind, and finally came to the conclusion that even if he was a little stronger than Lu Yang, it wasn't by much.

However, the more this happened, the more an unprecedented excitement and passion, as well as a strong fighting spirit, inexplicably surged within him.

For him, the stronger the peers and opponents, the faster they can motivate him to continuously break through; he wants to use them as stepping stones on his path to invincibility.

He believed that the other party should feel fortunate and proud to be able to become a stepping stone on his path to invincibility.

On Lu Yang's side, just as he was about to casually respond to Gu Yuan's question,

Suddenly, about ten meters away from them, with a loud bang, a stream of spiritual spring water, like a water dragon, shot into the sky from a spring the size of a washbasin.

The spiritual spring shot into the sky, reaching a height of nearly a hundred meters in the void before stopping. Then, it scattered down like raindrops, as if a celestial maiden were scattering flowers.

The area it covers extends beyond the flat land at the summit of the mountain.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yang's expression suddenly changed slightly. He stopped paying attention to Gu Yuan, who was already seriously injured, and instead grabbed Chu Yuyao and Xin Yi on either side, quickly heading towards the spring not far away.

Because the spiritual spring water cascading down from the springhead is much more concentrated than anywhere else, resembling a real downpour.

The benefits of simply collecting it here, or bathing in it directly, are unimaginable.

Seeing this, Xuan Jiaolong, Fu Ruyi, and the others wanted to follow, but after thinking about it, they gave up.

They knew that bathing in the spiritual spring at its mouth was not a simple matter and would inevitably be met with force and attack from others.

They were already quite content to have followed Lu Yang to this mountain peak, and planned to meditate right there, bathing in the abundant spiritual spring rain to improve their cultivation level.

The nearly ten martial arts prodigies gathered at the entrance of the Spirit Spring suddenly noticed that Lu Yang was leading two people towards the entrance of the Spirit Spring where they were, and they all frowned slightly.

However, given the other party's behavior just now, and considering that this was the best time to bathe and collect spiritual spring water, it was not advisable to take action. In the end, they all tacitly refrained from interfering with each other.

As long as the other party doesn't get within two or three meters of them, they assume that the other party is qualified to collect and bathe in the spiritual spring at the outermost center, even if they are leading two weak women.

They thought so, but what they never expected was that when Lu Yang led Chu Yuyao and Xin Yi to the outskirts of the location of the ten most powerful martial arts prodigies on site, the other party showed no intention of stopping and continued to rush past them toward the location of the spiritual spring.

Lu Yang's action instantly provoked the wrath of three or four martial arts prodigies: "You're asking for death! Get out of here!"

"Is this the place you truly dare to set foot in?"

"Don't think that just because you defeated Gu Yuan, you're truly qualified to be compared to the ten of us genuine martial arts prodigies!"

"If you know what's good for you, get out of here right now, or you won't be able to withstand our wrath..."

Seeing that the four martial arts prodigies were about to get angry at Lu Yang, or even attack him, Long Jingyun, who had failed to occupy the most central position, instantly revealed a gloating expression on his lips.

Not only him, but all the other martial arts prodigies who were also not qualified to approach the very center were also collecting and bathing in the spiritual spring while preparing to watch a truly spectacular show.

Despite the four's threats, Lu Yang completely ignored them, leading Chu Yuyao and Xin Yi directly to the edge of the gushing spring, as if standing atop a mountain. He then said to the two women, "Quickly sit down and collect and bathe in the spiritual spring. Collect and bathe in as much as you can. As long as I'm here, no one will be able to disturb you in the slightest!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuyao and Xin Yi immediately nodded in agreement with Lu Yang and quickly sat down cross-legged.

Chu Yuyao has not yet awakened the Phoenix Bloodline within her, nor has she truly cultivated immortal martial arts. However, even so, simply sitting cross-legged at the edge of the spiritual spring and bathing in its many springs is a rare and wonderful thing for her.

Not to mention Xin Yi, who is already a Xiantian martial artist. As long as she collects and bathes in various spiritual springs, her martial arts cultivation will definitely improve rapidly, like a rocket.

As for Lu Yang himself, this spiritual spring was also an invaluable resource that could quickly enhance his cultivation.

However, when he was actually collecting and bathing, he had to intimidate these ten martial arts prodigies.

He immediately and swiftly retrieved the half-step Xuan weapon he had recently acquired from his storage bracelet. He drew a circle with a diameter of three meters around the three people, then coldly surveyed the ten martial arts prodigies around him, issuing a chilling warning: "This circle is the boundary. Anyone who steps in will bear the consequences!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the martial arts prodigy closest to them, seeing that Lu Yang had drawn a circle only about a foot away from him, erupted in fury, roaring, "Boy, you're asking for death! You actually drew a circle inside my territory!"

This martial arts prodigy was a young man in his mid-twenties. He wasn't very tall, only about 1.75 meters, but he was extremely handsome.

At this moment, two raging flames of anger shot out from the other party's eyes like lightning. He sat cross-legged on the spot without getting up, but suddenly a magical sword appeared in his hand, and a sword beam as thick as a bucket shot out and fiercely bombarded Lu Yang's body.
