Chapter 955, the senior brother mentioned
"Senior Brother, you can't make a move." Jiang Yue spread her arms to block Lin Ping and said stubbornly, "Xu Yihai made things difficult for that fool first. Besides, the two of them were competing fairly. Xu Yihai should accept his loss. Why should Senior Brother have to make a move?"
The little girl's eyes were red, clearly she was angry.
She wouldn't allow the Lianxia Sect to bully the weak with numbers, and she didn't want Lin Ping to get hurt.
“Senior brother, Young Hero Chen has done a great service to the Lianxia Sect. I will take him to see Master.” Duan Yuqi also stood in front of Lin Ping.
Mu Xuan may disregard Jiang Yue's feelings, but he cannot disregard Duan Yuqi's.
However, his anger towards Lin Ping was even greater; Duan Yuqi had never cared about him this much before.
Even Jiang Yunying was advising Lin Ping, "Husband, he is a fifth-level master, and you cannot use a pistol, so it's best not to compete."
"Even my wife thinks I can't beat him?"
Lin Ping was displeased; he had never been afraid of anyone in front of Jiang Yunying.
"That's not what I meant. I was just worried that my husband would get hurt," Jiang Yunying explained, afraid that Lin Ping would misunderstand.
Several people intervened simultaneously, temporarily easing the tense atmosphere.
"You brat, are you scared now? Where did your arrogance go?" Xu Yihai said sarcastically. "I think you're the one who bullies the weak and fears the strong. When you encounter a strong person like your senior brother, you just have to tuck your tail between your legs."
"Hahaha, this kid must have peed his pants from fright."
"With this little strength, you dare to pursue Senior Sister Duan? Bah!"
The other disciples also began to mock Lin Ping. In short, they wanted to spit on Lin Ping's face, the thicker the better!
"All you grown men do is talk big. If you're so capable, why don't you go and fight that idiot?" Jiang Yue said angrily. She couldn't stand a group of men who only knew how to talk.
Not only Jiang Yue, but even Duan Yuqi cast disdainful glances at these junior brothers.
"Junior Sister, you don't actually like this boy, do you? You always seem so innocent and pure, I never imagined you were so wanton at heart!"
One of the disciples said dismissively.
Jiang Yue did indeed protect Lin Ping a bit too much, which inevitably led to misunderstandings, but such a malicious statement is a bit excessive.
"Since you can't control your foul mouth, then let me do it for you!"
Before anyone knew it, Lin Ping had moved to the disciple's side and slapped him so hard that his front teeth fell to the ground.
This palm strike shattered the silence once again. Mu Xuan's eyes blazed with fury: "Junior sister, you saw it too. This brat doesn't take my Lianxia Sect seriously at all."
“He was the one who swore first,” Jiang Yue defended Lin Ping.
She was so angry that she cried, but when she saw Lin Ping slapping the other person hard, she felt incredibly relieved.
However, Lin Ping will inevitably become the target of public criticism, and Duan Yuqi will not be able to protect him.
"Senior Brother, he's slapping you in the face! Teach him a lesson!" the disciple cried, kneeling on the ground.
"That's right, senior brother, kill him quickly!" the group said in unison.
"How can you be so irrational?" Duan Yuqi sighed. In this situation, she couldn't help Lin Ping either.
"Senior brother, he has done a great favor for the Lianxia Sect, you can't go too far."
Duan Yuqi hurriedly said, fearing that Mu Xuan would kill Lin Ping directly.
"Don't put on that aloof act. You want to teach me a lesson? Go ahead and do it," Lin Ping said dismissively.
After all, he possessed the strength of a peak fourth-stage cultivator, so he might not necessarily be afraid of Mu Xuan.
"Very good." Mu Xuan revealed a triumphant smile: "Since you have done a favor for the Lianxia Sect, I will not hurt you, but if you lose, you will have to kneel on the ground and kowtow to my junior brother to admit your mistake."
A man's knees are worth gold; this is more terrifying than killing Lin Ping.
"You big idiot, don't agree! You're no match for Senior Brother!" Jiang Yue advised again.
"So you want to see me retreat without a fight? What's the difference between that and kneeling down to apologize?" Lin Ping's expression turned serious.
Jiang Yue lowered her head and remained silent. It would indeed be a loss of face if she didn't accept Mu Xuan's challenge.
"Since you are my junior sister's honored guest, I will choose to compete in speed, which you excel at," Mu Xuan said arrogantly.
Whether it was the punch Lin Ping threw at Xu Yihai or the slap he gave to someone else, both demonstrated his remarkable speed.
Simply competing on speed would indeed be advantageous for Lin Ping.
"Is he slow?" Lin Ping asked Jiang Yue in her ear.
Jiang Yue shook her head. "Senior Brother's speed is even above that of several elders; that's his strength!"
"What a treacherous fellow!" Lin Ping had to admire the other party's shamelessness.
"See that big tree over there? Whoever knocks down a leaf first wins," Mu Xuan said, pointing to a big tree about 500 meters away.
There are two ways to knock down the leaves: one is to rush over and pick them off by hand, and the other is to throw a powerful weapon and cut the leaves in half.
Based on Mu Xuan's understanding of weapons, the maximum range of a single crossbow is currently no more than 300 meters. In other words, even if Lin Ping were to use the most advanced crossbow, he would still need to run more than 200 meters before shooting down the leaves with the crossbow bolt.
However, a crossbow with a range of 300 meters is very large, and Lin Ping obviously did not have one.
Mu Xuan boldly guessed that Lin Ping didn't have a single crossbow on him, which meant that he could only obediently run to the tree 500 meters away and pick the leaves with his bare hands.
He could throw a short sword a hundred meters with his bare hands, which meant he only needed to run four hundred meters to cut a leaf in half.
That extra hundred meters is no small amount; even if the sect leader himself were to take action, Mu Xuan would be confident of victory.
"What? You're too scared to compete?" Seeing Lin Ping remain silent, Mu Xuan mocked, "If you admit your weakness now and get out of Mount Emei, I might consider sparing your life."
"There's absolutely no way we can win!" Jiang Yue's chest heaved with anger; she knew exactly what Mu Xuan was thinking.
Even Duan Yuqi felt that Mu Xuan's actions were somewhat despicable. He already had the advantage in strength, yet he still chose to compete in this way.
Does Lin Ping have a choice? He has to take a gamble.
"What if I win?" Lin Ping said slowly.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into hearty laughter, "If you win, I, Xu Yihai, will eat shit live on air!"
"I'll eat with them too!"
The others echoed, staring at Lin Ping with dumbfounded looks.
This was a contest that was impossible to win; they were just waiting for Lin Ping to kneel down and beg for mercy, to be humiliated.
"Sigh, why do you have to push yourselves to the brink? I really don't understand what you're thinking," Lin Ping sighed.
To be honest, he didn't want to witness a large-scale scene of people eating shit; it was really disgusting. But the other party wouldn't allow it; they wouldn't feel comfortable if they didn't eat shit.
"I'd like to see how you win!" Mu Xuan sneered, and before Lin Ping could react, he had already darted out.
