All the acupoints above the legs were in full operation. Under Yunxiao's feet, it was as if he were stepping on wind-fire wheels. In an instant, he had dashed several miles.
He had a total of 108 acupoints all over his body. There was no need to worry about insufficient true essence power like other minor accomplished martial artists in the True Essence Realm. It could be said that even a major accomplished martial artist in the True Essence Realm would feel inferior in terms of true essence power capacity compared to him. Moreover, his true essence power was the Five Elements True Essence, which had an absolute advantage in quality.
Holding Kong Jingyun with one hand, Yunxiao ran for almost seven or eight miles in one breath and finally stopped in a dense forest.
"Well, Kong Jingyun, the free ride can only go this far. You just wait here obediently for Deng Bing to arrive!"
As his figure stabilized, Yunxiao casually threw Kong Jingyun to the ground like throwing away a piece of trash. Kong Jingyun, who was seriously injured, staggered under his feet and directly fell into the grass.
Yunxiao's punch had shaken his internal organs, and the injury was not light. In addition, the three palms Yunxiao slapped on him directly sealed three of his major acupoints, making it difficult for him to even circulate his true qi. At this time, he was not even as good as a minor accomplished martial artist in the True Essence Realm.
"You..."
Being casually thrown to the ground by Yunxiao, Kong Jingyun only felt a bit stuffy in his chest. The humiliation and suffocation almost made him vomit blood again.
However, his life was still in Yunxiao's hands. No matter how angry he was, he could only hold it in his heart.
"All right. I know you may not be convinced, but it doesn't matter. If you want revenge, I'll be ready at any time." With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Yunxiao looked down at Kong Jingyun from above, without the slightest worry about future revenge from the other party.
As a key cultivation target of the Kong family, Kong Jingyun definitely couldn't be killed by him. If he killed this person, the Kong family would spare no effort to take his life. At that time, even if he hid in Leiyun Academy every day, it would be difficult to guard against the open and hidden attacks of a first-class family.
As long as Kong Jingyun was still alive, then the Kong family wouldn't really take this incident to heart. To put it bluntly, this was just an experience for Kong Jingyun when he was outside. If he lost, it could only be blamed on his lack of ability.
Of course, Kong Jingyun himself would definitely not let it go, but he didn't pay any attention to Kong Jingyun at all. Even if the other party used some forces of the Kong family, he was not afraid at all.
This was not his arrogance. In fact, now that he had made some achievements in cultivation, with the Five Elements True Essence as the foundation and 108 acupoints as assistance, it could be said that as long as no strong person above the Core Formation Realm took action, even if a martial artist at the peak of the True Essence Realm exerted all their strength, it would be absolutely impossible to kill him.
And strong people above the Core Formation Realm definitely wouldn't act casually. Even Kong Jingyun might not be able to order the Core Formation Realm strong people of the Kong family. Moreover, it was to deal with him, a direct disciple of an elder of Leiyun Academy.
Don't underestimate the identity of a direct disciple of an elder of Leiyun Academy. Everyone knew that offending an elder of Leiyun Academy was directly going against Leiyun Academy. If Leiyun Academy was angered, even a first-class family would probably be in big trouble.
"The humiliation of today, I, Kong Jingyun, will definitely repay it double in the future!"
Taking a deep breath, Kong Jingyun had guessed Yunxiao's thoughts at this time. Knowing that Yunxiao wouldn't kill him, he said with a dark face.
He had lost a lot of face this time. And most importantly, Yunxiao's actions had shattered all his pride and confidence. If he wanted to be that lofty young master of the Kong family again, he must get out of Yunxiao's shadow.
"Ha, I'll be waiting for you."
Hearing Kong Jingyun's words, Yunxiao sneered and didn't care at all. After speaking, he didn't say any more to the other party. With a movement of his feet, he directly disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.
"Ah!!!!"
After Yunxiao disappeared, Kong Jingyun could no longer control his angry emotions and let out a long howl, seemingly wanting to vent all his depression and humiliation.
Since he started cultivating until now, when had he ever felt such humiliation? In front of so many people, he was like a powerless waste, being freely manipulated by Yunxiao, this unknown person. He even had to beg for mercy. All this would definitely become a shame that he could never wash away in his life!
"Yunxiao, I will tear you to pieces!!!!"
Holding his fist tightly in hatred, at this moment, he wished he could swallow Yunxiao alive to vent his hatred.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!!"
Before long, the sound of breaking wind came again. Then, several major disciples under the Third Elder appeared one after another in the grass and immediately found him lying on the ground.
"Second brother..."
Seeing that Kong Jingyun was fine, Deng Bing and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Kong Jingsheng, who was at the back, quickly stepped forward, lifted Kong Jingyun up while softly calling.
"Junior Brother Kong, are you all right?"
At this time, Deng Bing also stepped forward and asked Kong Jingyun. His brows were slightly wrinkled, but he didn't know how to comfort this genius of the Kong family.
No matter who this kind of thing happened to, it would probably be difficult to accept. And Kong Jingyun had been used to being high and mighty since he was a child, so he would probably find it even more difficult to accept.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Deng. I'm fine."
However, contrary to Deng Bing's expectation, Kong Jingyun's face was very calm. He didn't show any signs of being listless or having a big temper after being suppressed like everyone had imagined. It was as if nothing had happened.
"Hmm?" Seeing Kong Jingyun's reaction, Deng Bing couldn't help being slightly stunned. It seemed that he didn't expect the other party to be so calm. "It's good that you're fine. But I wonder if Junior Brother Kong can continue to participate in this grand competition?"
Kong Jingyun's face was very pale, and his whole body exuded a weak aura. The situation probably wasn't optimistic.
"Sorry, Senior Brother Deng. I need to go back to my family first."
Shaking his head, Kong Jingyun directly chose to withdraw. He knew his own situation. He could feel that his injury probably needed some recuperation. In addition, he had also felt the horror of the three palms Yunxiao slapped on him. So, he must first return to the Kong family and recover properly.
At this moment, he calmed down instead. Whether it was anger or depression, these negative emotions were like poison to him. What he had to do was to turn these negative emotions into motivation for his revenge instead of getting stuck in a dead end and constantly thinking about his humiliation.
"Well, in that case, let Junior Brother Li send you out of Jinshi Mountain!"
Hearing that Kong Jingyun wanted to withdraw, Deng Bing didn't object. Instead, he asked Li Shuhang on the side to send him out of the mountain. It could be said that he had been very kind.
He also understood that no matter whether Kong Jingyun was seriously injured at this time, it was impossible for him to continue walking with them. After all, having lost so much face, whoever it was would hope to be alone and quiet and not want to see others' strange looks.
"No need. I can do it myself." Shaking his head, Kong Jingyun directly refused the other party's kindness. Although he was injured, it wasn't a problem for him to walk out of Jinshi Mountain. After all, he had grown up in Jinshazhen since he was a child and was very familiar with Jinshi Mountain.
"Brother, help Senior Brother Deng well and don't lose face for the Kong family again." Turning his head and looking at Kong Jingsheng, and simply giving a few words of advice, Kong Jingyun didn't say any more and directly walked towards the periphery of Jinshi Mountain.
"He's really a tough character!!!"
Looking at Kong Jingyun's somewhat lonely back, Deng Bing narrowed his eyes slightly and became more and more impressed with Kong Jingyun.
Kong Jingyun had indeed lost this time. However, he could suppress everything in his heart so quickly and not show it at all. This kind of forbearance was not something everyone could do.
Perhaps such a setback might not necessarily be a bad thing for him. And once he learned a lesson from this failure, he might be able to turn misfortune into fortune.
"Senior Brother Deng, what should we do next?"
After Kong Jingyun disappeared in the distance, Wang Kai on the side frowned and asked Deng Bing.
In this grand competition, their group was originally the one with the greatest hope of winning the championship. But now, more than twenty token talismans had all been taken by Yunxiao. Obviously, their wish to get the first place in the grand competition had become even more difficult.
"Continue to look for token talismans. At present, it can be confirmed that most of the token talismans are hidden in the lairs of magical beasts or even directly on the magical beasts. With the strength of the five of us, even if we kill magical beasts, it should be the fastest."
Raising his eyebrows, Deng Bing didn't plan to give up on the grand competition. After the previous exploration, they found that the token talismans deep in Jinshi Mountain were basically placed in the lairs of magical beasts. So, what they had to do next was to find the lairs of magical beasts and obtain token talismans from them.
The more than twenty token talismans this time were actually not many. It seemed that as long as they worked hard, there was still hope to catch up.
As for Yunxiao, he didn't plan to continue chasing. Speaking of which, he had witnessed Yunxiao's speed before. It was basically impossible to catch up.
Defeating Kong Jingyun with one move showed Yunxiao's strength. And most importantly, they knew nothing about Yunxiao. It seemed that after returning to the academy this time, they must thoroughly investigate Yunxiao.
With a plan in mind, the five of them didn't think too much anymore. In any case, their group still had Kong Jingsheng, a local expert. They still had an advantage in action. If they were a bit luckier, they still had a chance to turn the situation around...
