Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God-Chapter 253 Lin Jun Under the Fountain
"Are you Ye Ling?"
The man from Wo Country stood up, looking at Ye Ling as he asked.
"Yes, and who might you be?"
Ye Ling recognized immediately that this was a person from Wo Country. Although the man's aura was well-concealed, Ye Ling had previously fought with Lin Jun, and he was very familiar with an aura similar to Lin Jun's.
He narrowed his eyes, "What is your relationship with Lin Jun?"
Just then, Ye Ling took a few more steps forward. The light behind him gradually moved above his head and cast down, as if a deity was descending.
Standing nearby, Su Rou was stunned, completely forgetting that she was still in a kidnapped state.
"Su Rou, are you all right?"
Ye Ling did not care what answer the man in front of him would give, for to him at that moment, the man was no different from a corpse.
When Ye Ling's gaze slowly shifted to Su Rou's bound hands, his eyes darkened a few shades more.
"The last thing you should have done was to touch her."
The man from Wo Country did not comprehend the dangerous meaning in Ye Ling's eyes and continued to speak for himself.
"You know of me? Of course, you do, since you've crossed hands with my younger martial brother before, you should recognize this aura, right?"
At that moment, the man burst forth with a surge of power, and naturally, Ye Ling was not to be outdone, emitting a wave of power in response.
"You and he are martial brothers? So, what is this? After smaller ones fall, the bigger ones come, and what, an elder will appear later?"
Ye Ling furrowed his brows, feeling a tinge of regret whenever he thought of Lin Jun.
If not for the difference in national standings, perhaps they could have become friends.
When Ye Ling mentioned Lin Jun, the man's eyes also revealed a trace of sorrow, but he quickly gathered himself again to address Ye Ling's question.
"I am his elder martial brother, Lin Jun of the underworld. I am aware of his death and have heard the approximate details from others. I am very grateful that you returned his body."
The gratitude showing in the man's eyes did not seem feigned, and it was apparent that his relationship with Lin Jun had been a good one.
"Since you have come, there's no need to keep this woman here anymore. I shall let her go."
Lin Jun of the underworld cut the ropes that bound Su Rou with one strike.
Su Rou quickly stood up and ran behind Ye Ling, rubbing her wrists.
Ye Ling, seeing that she had no other injuries on her body, breathed a sigh of relief.
"There, there, you've just been scared. Wait for me by the door, I'll take you back in a moment," he said.
Seeing Ye Ling standing in front of her, Su Rou felt a wave of relief and nodded, "You have to be careful, I will wait for you at the door."
Watching Su Rou leave, Ye Ling then turned back to Lin Jun of the underworld and said, "Your younger martial brother was indeed an admirable opponent, obsessed with martial arts his whole life, yet he had his wish fulfilled before the end, reaching the half-step imperial realm."

The man pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.
Ye Ling continued, "Actually, neither of us is wrong, it's just a matter of our countries' differing stances. I quite liked him as a person, and so, I respected him enough to have his body returned."
"I know, but you killed him. If I can defeat you, I won't spare you either, but I will certainly not desecrate your body!"
"Fine, I can give you that opportunity."
Since this was a matter of vengeance, Ye Ling felt it unnecessary to engage in further conversation with him.
He had already discerned that the man before him had reached the half-step imperial realm, an adversary not to be underestimated.
Ye Ling had had many battles, yet it surprised him to encounter not one but two individuals from Wo Country who could be called geniuses, even heroes.

Without speaking of their personal virtues, just their martial arts achievements alone were enough to earn considerable admiration.
"By the way, before we start fighting, there are some things I want to ask you."
Ye Ling knew that deep in Lin Jun's heart, beneath the spring, there were many unanswered questions. After all, back at the customs, before his last breath, Longgu Qianzhi had broken through his limits, full of joy; yet, aside from Ye Ling, no one had witnessed it.
"I shall hold nothing back in my answers."
"Did he... leave any last words?"
Seeing the sorrow in Lin Jun's eyes, Ye Ling could already imagine how close the relationship between the martial brothers must have been in the past.
For some reason, Ye Ling also felt a certain heaviness in his heart; after all, killing Longgu Qianzhi had not been his own desire.
After hesitating for a long while, Ye Ling finally responded.
"No, he was smiling, saying he had no regrets in this life."
That sentence completely broke Lin Jun's defenses, his eyes reddened with grief.
"Him... If it weren't for the restraints of war, he could have attempted to climb to the pinnacle of martial arts!"
Lin Jun only said this much before swiftly regaining his composure, adopting a stance ready for battle, and looking towards Ye Ling. Read exclusive adventures at novelbuddy
Ye Ling knew that a battle between the two of them was inevitable. At this moment, he did not dawdle and spoke.
"Come! However, I respect you, and it was not my wish to kill your junior brother last time, but our conflict must end here, without taking each other's lives."
Even before the battle had begun, Lin Jun knew he couldn't match Ye Ling's strength.
Lin Jun had long been prepared to face death, but he had not expected Ye Ling to say such a thing.
"At our level of prowess, once the battle begins, it will be a fight to the death. How can we simply stop?"
Ye Ling, however, did not take those words to heart. At his current level, whether to take a life or spare it was simply a matter of his mood; everything was easily within his control.
"You need not worry about that; I respect you as a true man. This is just a spar, no need to gamble with our lives."
Despite being full of doubts and confusion, since Ye Ling had put it that way, Lin Jun had little else to say in response.
"Then let us begin!"
Ye Ling nodded and lifted his right hand lightly, and a blade appeared in his grasp.
Without needing Ye Ling to say anything more, Lin Jun recognized it at once. This was his junior brother's most cherished blade—the Demon Blade Iaido.
"I thought it was lost during your fight; I never imagined it would be in your possession. Did my junior brother give it to you?"
Lin Jun clearly had not expected that a confrontation between nations could also lead to a feeling of mutual admiration between martial brothers.
He even went so far as to give his most cherished blade to Ye Ling.
Thinking of this, he felt a sourness in his heart. He was the senior brother, after all!
He had never seen his junior brother ask anyone to bring the blade back to their country to give it to him. For a moment, his gaze at Ye Ling was filled with jealousy.
Without even consider the blade's value; the very sentiment it represented made Lin Jun's heart ache.
"Naturally, if I had taken it forcefully, I wouldn't be worthy of using it in a fight against you."
Ye Ling's words, showing his unabashed appreciation for Lin Jun, made Lin Jun think of his own act of kidnapping Su Rou—feeling somewhat guilty.
"If I had known earlier that you were a decent person, I would have come to find you directly instead of kidnapping... your wife. I am sorry."
Ye Ling: "...Let it not happen again."
Ye Ling himself could not help but feel a mixture of amusement and frustration. These two martial brothers seemed, in some aspects, to be quite simple in character.
