Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Tang Mu’s Capital
Having killed Shou Hou and turned him into ashes, Lin Dong imdiately left.
With his current strength, his speed was indeed incredibly fast.
The distance from Shi County to the foot of Qing Shan Guan Mountain was about eighty kiloters.
Lin Dong infused his Inner Qi into both legs and took the deserted mountain path, moving swiftly at a rapid pace.
In fact, ‘rapid pace’ no longer seed appropriate—it would be more accurate to say he was flying.
Eighty kiloters, Lin Dong took only one hour!!
Such speed could only be described as terrifying.
You see, a car on the highway travels at 90-120 kiloters per hour.
And Lin Dong’s sprinting speed along the mountain path was almost catching up to that of a car on the highway.
When he arrived at the foot of Qing Shan Guan Mountain, Ah Lang’s car hadn’t even arrived yet.
After all, the road from Shi County to Qing Shan Guan was a county and rural road, naturally, the speed couldn’t compare to driving on the highway.
Eighty kiloters, under normal driving conditions, would take about two hours to reach.
Lin Dong waited for about half an hour before they finally arrived.
Once the car stopped, Elder Qiao, Tang Mu, Bai Jue, Qiao Bing, and the others were surprised to see Lin Dong already waiting for them at the foot of the mountain.
“Lin Dong, how did you get here? What car did you take? How co you went to the county town for errands and still got back faster than us?” Elder Qiao asked curiously.
Lin Dong laughingly said, “I ran back directly!”
“What?” Hearing this, Elder Qiao, Tang Mu, Bai Jue, and Qiao Bing were all shocked.
Ran back faster than they drove?
And it seed he was quite a bit faster.
Lin Dong had gone to the county town and still had been waiting here for a long ti. What kind of speed was that?
This speed, if he were to compete in the Olympics in various sprinting, long-distance running, marathons, wouldn’t he just sweep the gold dals?
“Big brother, can your speed reach fifty kiloters an hour?” Ah Lang couldn’t help asking. His strength was now at the peak of an Explosive Qi Master, and his speed could reach thirty kiloters per hour.
This speed was already many tis that of a normal person.
Lin Dong smiled and shook his head, “If I’m rushing and running at my limit, I should be able to surpass one hundred kiloters per hour!”
Whoosh!!!
Elder Qiao, Qiao Bing, Tang Mu, and Bai Jue all looked at him as if he were a monster upon hearing this.
Wasn’t that almost the sa as a car’s speed on the highway?
That is just too perverted!
Is this what a powerful martial artist is like!?
So aweso.
At this mont, Lin Dong smiled and said:
“Let’s pack up our things, and head up the mountain.”
Everyone nodded and started packing their things, preparing to ascend the mountain.
The village where Lin Dong lived was called ‘Fulong Village.’ It was a beautiful small village with only just over two hundred households.
Beside the small village was a mountain called Qingshan.
On Qingshan Mountain, there was a Taoist temple that had been in existence for several hundred years, known as Qing Shan Guan.
There was only one Taoist in Qing Shan Guan, and everybody called him Daoist Master Qing Shan.
Local villagers would sotis go to Qing Shan Guan to pray for blessings, which occasionally proved very effective. For example, so honest and upright villagers, if they fell sick, would go there to pray, drink a bowl of talisman water prepared by Daoist Master Qing Shan, and their sickness would be cured.
However, sotis it was ineffective. Many people went to pray for wealth, but it never worked. Others prayed for official positions, with no success either.
There were also so local bullies and nobles who went there to pray when they were sick, but none of them had their prayers answered.
From the foot of Qingshan Mountain to the Qing Shan Guan halfway up the mountain, there were 999 steps.
In Dragon Country’s tradition, 9 is the largest number, so 999 symbolizes supre and eternal longevity.
Climbing the 999 steps represents ascending the heavens.
However, this wasn’t very friendly for the elderly.
Elder Qiao’s health wasn’t very good, so climbing these steps would be quite a hardship.
Ah Lang offered to carry Elder Qiao up the mountain.
Lin Dong was going to carry him but, glancing at the three won nearby, he let Ah Lang carry Elder Qiao instead.
Sure enough, the three won soon got tired.
The first to claim exhaustion was Tang Mu. Although she had the General Constitution, it had not yet been developed.
Unlike Bai Jue and Qiao Bing, both won had cultivated the Nine Tripod Cauldrons symbol with Lin Dong, and their physical strength was still considerably above that of a normal person.
“I’m so tired I can’t go on,” Tang Mu said apologetically, looking at Lin Dong with a pitiful expression.
Qiao Bing said, “Lin Dong, a man with a speed of one hundred kiloters per hour should have no problem carrying soone up the mountain, right?”
Lin Dong nodded and looked towards Tang Mu.
Tang Mu’s cheeks flushed slightly as she whispered, “Lin Dong, I’m sorry to bother you.”
“It’s okay,” Lin Dong waved his hand, crouched down to let Tang Mu get on his back.
Tang Mu wrapped her arms around Lin Dong’s neck from the front, her entire body pressing against Lin Dong’s back.
Lin Dong felt like he was being crushed by a soft ‘Mount Tai’ on his back!
Lin Dong was taken aback.
Won like Bai Jue, Qiao Bing, Liu Qingcheng, and Ye Linglong were all considered to have ‘substantial’ presence. But Tang Mu outclassed them all.
Among these top-grade won, Tang Mu was the one with the most ‘weight.’
“Alright, Lin Dong. Why aren’t you moving? Is it because I’m too heavy?”
“Heavy, too heavy…” Lin Dong subconsciously responded but quickly realized that the ‘heavy’ Tang Mu ant was different from what he was thinking.
He hastily cleared his throat, correcting himself:
“Not heavy, you’re not heavy at all. I’ll start moving right away.”
Lin Dong quickly ca to his senses, grasped her legs more firmly to pull her closer, and then began to ascend the steps.
As Lin Dong climbed, suddenly Tang Mu’s face turned as red as a strawberry.
She discovered sothing awkward…
