Beauty and the Bodyguard

Ever since he was sent to the GreenCloud Pavilion, everything Murong Zhen had done was to build up his strength. In the end, he only had one goal-to take revenge on Shangguan LAN 'er, the lady who had caused her to fall to the ground!

Due to the huge difference in status between them, under normal circumstances, the chances of her getting her revenge were close to zero. No matter how deep her resentment was, Murong Zhen knew it in his heart.

At least for now, she had no chance of revenge. Perhaps after she worked hard for several years or even decades, there was a glimmer of hope that she could wait until the day she could hold her head high.

However, Murong Zhen did not expect this day to come so quickly and so suddenly. It was so sudden that she did not even have time to react before it had already happened.

Fortunately, her subconscious reaction in that instant had perfectly achieved her goal of revenge. The displacement effect of Phantom finger was only a supplementary effect. In essence, it was a real killing martial art.

Shangguan LAN 'er had never thought that her kind reminder would not only cause the other party to be ungrateful, but also bring such a fatal disaster upon herself. She had often heard her grandfather say that the Jianghu was dangerous, and today she had truly learned a lesson and deeply understood what it meant to be vicious!

Until now, she still did not know that the other party was Murong Zhen, whom she had met once before. Of course, even if Murong Zhen had told her his family name in front of her, she might not have been able to remember it.

It was just like how she had ignored Murong Zhen's provocation back then. The difference in their status was obvious. If Murong Zhen wanted to leave an impression in her heart, it was impossible for him not to do something outrageous.

However, this time, Shangguan LAN 'er would definitely have a deep impression of it, if she could survive this.

Both Murong Zhen and Shangguan LAN 'er were at the peak of the early Foundation establishment stage. However, Shangguan LAN' er clearly lacked actual combat experience. She was flustered and at a loss for what to do when faced with Murong Zhen's sudden Phantom finger.

"Very good, that's the expression. Obediently die for this beauty, the high and mighty miss Shangguan!" The veins on Murong Zhen's face were bulging.

At this time, she had completely thrown the threat of the ugly giant octopus to the back of her mind. Nothing could make her more excited than killing Shangguan LAN 'er. Moreover, the occasion in front of her was simply tailor-made for her.

The Half Moon Lake was publicly acknowledged as one of the most dangerous places in the outer area of the back mountain. Even if Shangguan LAN 'er were to die Here, no one would suspect her, a newbie of the GreenCloud Pavilion who had nothing to do with it.

This time, even the heavens were on his side. With The Phantom finger, not only did he successfully escape from the fish's mouth, but he also took the opportunity to reap miss Shangguan's life. Could there be anything more wonderful than this in the world?

Shangguan LAN 'er could only watch helplessly as Murong Zhen's illusionary figure pointed at her throat. She could not move at all at this moment. There was nothing to restrict her steps. However, she had already been scared silly by the other party's fierce attack.

At this time, Lin Yi was still on the giant fir tree on the other side of the lake. They weren't too far apart, but there was a giant ugly octopus between them. It was obviously too far for him to save them.

Lin Yi, Murong Zhen, and Shangguan LAN 'er didn't expect that the one who saved her life at the last moment was a guy that no one cared about, a little Curly Bear that seemed to have no fighting power at all.

In fact, the little Curly Bear did not do anything difficult. It only gave Shangguan LAN 'er a gentle push at the last moment. That was all.

However, with just a light push, it had pulled its owner back from the edge of the yellow spring. After all, Shangguan LAN 'er was also a cultivator at the peak of the early Foundation establishment stage. As long as Murong Zhen's Phantom finger did not hit her throat, it would be impossible to kill her in one blow.

Feeling the sharp pain in her shoulder, Shangguan LAN 'er finally recovered from the fear of death and hurriedly escaped with the little Curly Bear.

She couldn't remember who the opponent was, but she knew that she wasn't a match for him. If she stayed here, she might be killed before Lin Yi could come to her rescue.

Seeing that The Phantom finger had failed, Murong Zhen gritted his teeth in anger. The reason why she had come today was actually the same as Shangguan LAN 'er. She had wanted to try her luck and get a thousand-year tree crystal.

But now, she had long forgotten about the 1000-year-old tree crystal. If she still could not kill Shangguan LAN 'er with such a God-given opportunity, she would never have such a good opportunity again in her life. It was an opportunity that could not be missed!

"Shangguan LAN 'er, today is the day of your death. This will be your burial ground, no one can save you!" Murong Zhen grinned hideously and chased after him.

Shangguan LAN 'er was at the peak of the early Foundation establishment stage, but she did not have the corresponding combat experience. She was no match for Murong Zhen at all. Moreover, she had to take a little Curly Bear with her, so she could not run fast even if she wanted to.

"Let's see who can save you this time!" Murong Zhen once again used Phantom finger and instantly appeared behind Shangguan LAN 'er's head. The small Curly Bear that caused her Phantom finger to fail was already sent flying by her palm.

This time, there was nothing that could interfere with her Phantom finger. Shangguan LAN 'er, the young lady who had caused her to fall into the dust, was definitely going to die!

Just as Murong Zhen was overjoyed and thought that he had succeeded, he was shocked to find that a familiar figure had appeared beside her. Her Phantom finger, which should have pierced through Shangguan LAN 'er's vital points, had been caught by a single hand and could not move.

Murong Zhen's eyes narrowed when he saw the man's face. He cried out in horror,""Lin Yi!"

Visibility at night was low to begin with, and even the fluorescent light of the Half Moon Lake didn't change that much. Moreover, her attention was completely focused on the ugly giant octopus and Shangguan LAN 'er, so it was normal that she didn't notice Lin Yi's existence.

If she had known that Lin Yi was here, she might not have had the courage to attack Shangguan LAN 'er directly. Not to mention whether Lin Yi would harm her or not, even if the news of miss Shangguan's assassination were to spread, she would be dead without a doubt, with no chance of survival.

"Looks like I really shouldn't have let you off during the rookie Challenge. I should've just killed you. That way, the world would be a little cleaner." Lin Yi held Murong Zhen's Phantom finger in one hand, killing intent radiating from his body.

Before fighting the mirror puppet, Murong Zhen's Phantom finger might have been able to pose a threat to him, but now, Lin Yi could completely destroy his opponent with his simple punches and kicks.

They were both at the peak of the early Foundation establishment stage, but the difference in their abilities was like a chasm. (To be continued.)
