Chapter 74: The Emperor's Law Array (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  Thank you KarlKing for becoming the second patron of this book!

  The blood rainbow transformed by the man in black hesitated for a moment, and immediately chose the direction where Lin Xi was, and hurriedly chased after him.

  As they approached closer and closer, Lin Xi stopped in his tracks, standing atop a small hill, focusing intently.

  "Why not run away?"

  A cold laugh, a flash of blood rainbow, pulled out a wave of air, and stopped not far in front of Lin Xi. Wearing a black robe, with a surging aura, like the god of killing walking out of darkness.

  "If you can't outrun it, why bother running?"

  Lin Xi was trying to stall for time.

  Before Shangguan Yaoyue left, she gave Lin Xi the cultivation method for the ritual. The key is that even if one understands the method of cultivating it, time is still needed. Not to mention, re-cultivating a magic tool originally requires time.

  Shangguan Yaoyue's golden toad was far more complicated than the sword in Lin Xi's hand.

  Lin Xi felt that he didn't have enough time.

  "I still need a little more time, just a bit."

  Lin Xi secretly thought to herself.

  His face remained expressionless, but his mind was racing with countless thoughts, rapidly thinking of countermeasures.

  "What benefits did the Long family give you? They actually let you risk your life to chase and kill me in the Shen Xiao Sect's Immortal Dao assessment. If I'm not mistaken, if this matter is exposed, you will undoubtedly die."

  Lin Xi said coldly.

  He tried to drag out the conversation with the black-robed assassin.

  "Hmph! You don't need to know. What you said is right, if this matter gets exposed, I will surely die."

  The man in black seemed to have made up his mind that Lin Xi was doomed to die, and with a slight relaxation of his heart, he didn't mind saying a few more words:

  "But this matter cannot be exposed. You, a small martial artist, are completely ignorant of the situation in the Xian Dao Great World. You have no idea how powerful the Long Shi family is within the Shen Xiao Sect. Do you think that little girl who ran away can expose this? Do you think anyone will believe her? Let me tell you, your cause of death has already been arranged. In the Xian Dao assessment, many martial artists die every year. Without a doubt, you are also one of them. What a pity!"

  "The best way to cover up the truth about my death is to silence you as well. That way, no one will suspect a thing. The people of the Long family are so clever, don't you think they'll figure it out?"

  Lin Xi said coldly.

  "Hmph! There's no need for that..."

  The man in black robes let out a cold snort, and just as he was about to finish his sentence, the black-robed killer suddenly launched an attack.

  "Then don't you worry about it!"

  Along with this sentence, a shocking and earth-shattering offensive was launched. Almost in the blink of an eye, the black-robed man had closed the distance between himself and Lin Xi. The kind of power that had been felt before, which was overwhelming and destructive, burst forth once again, striking Lin Xi with lightning speed and force.

  This move was unexpected, extremely fast, and deadly from the start. Apparently, the black-robed man's previous relaxation was just a fake, all for this fatal blow.

  Lin Xi's face suddenly changed, although he had been on guard against the cultivator in front of him. However, the gap between the tenth level of martial arts and the realm of cultivation was too great. This was not something that could be bridged by clever schemes alone.

  Boom!

  Lin Xi's massive black hand was shattered by a wave of energy. The flying sword was also shaken off in an instant. The overwhelming power slammed into his body, Lin Xi felt as if the entire ocean had slapped him once, and with a "puff" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood, then flew out like a broken kite.

  Bang!

  Lin Xi heavily fell to the ground, smashing out a big pit and startling up a patch of yellow sand.

  "Hum! Think you can play tricks and schemes in front of me?"

  The man in black robes swung his sleeves and stepped onto the top of the hill, gazing at Lin He's "corpse" with a sinister cold smile. The same trick could be used on him once, but it was absolutely impossible to use it twice.

  Previously, Lin Xi and Shangguan Yaoyao had pretended to be dead, luring him into the Vampire Girl's encirclement, almost getting him killed. How could he still not have any guard against it now?

  "Little brat, go to hell and learn some sense! You're not the only one who can scheme against others. - Do you think I don't know that you're stalling for time, refining that girl's magical artifact?"

  The man in black robes had a cold smile on his face.

  Lin Xi was stalling for time, how could he not know? However, he was also probing Lin Xi. When he confirmed that Lin Xi was stalling for time, the black-robed man immediately confirmed one thing - Lin Xi had yet to successfully refine that artifact!

  Taking advantage of his illness to take his life, this is also why he suddenly rose up and killed Lin Xi.

  Wow!

  A gust of wind blew by, and the man in black was about to step forward to take away Lin Xi's magical instrument.

  Although he was a strong cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, he didn't have any magical instruments. Even among those in the Qi Refining stage, magical instruments were still rare items!

  "It's really puzzling, these two young men and women, they're not very old, their cultivation level is not high. How can everyone have a magic weapon on them?"

  A black-robed man had a fleeting thought of imbalance in his mind.

  Warriors can't bring out the power of their weapons. Two warriors with weapons, in the eyes of a black-robed man who doesn't even have one, are simply a waste of heaven's treasures, and his heart is filled with discontent!

  But just as he was about to walk over, a sudden change occurred.

  "Haha, I finally understand!"

  A loud burst of laughter erupted. In the pit, Lin Xi, who was already a "corpse", suddenly moved twice and flipped over from the ground.

  His forehead was all bloody, but his expression was exhilarated. Not a single sign of severe injury.

  "What? How is this possible!"

  His footsteps came to an abrupt halt, and the man in black robes was as if struck by a heavy hammer, shocked with his eyes wide open, almost popping out.

  "How could this happen!"

  The man in black robes had a look of horror on his face. He used the "Blood Waterfall Secret Method", bursting with potential, and for a short time, his strength was even stronger than before. With such a full-force blow, at least twelve or thirteen vampire witches could be killed, and even the Vampire Queen would be severely injured.

  According to his calculations, martial artists below the Refining Qi realm would absolutely not survive. In fact, a more accurate description would be that they would die in an explosion, leaving no remains. But now, Lin Xi not only didn't have "no remains", but instead was alive and kicking!

  "Haha, come on, you're just a running dog for the Dragon Clan. I admit, I underestimated you before. That was my mistake. But do you really think one hit like that can kill me?"

  Lin Xi's face was excited, his fists clenched, and he walked up fearlessly:

  "Come on! I'll give you another chance, let's see just how fierce your true energy is!"

  The man in black narrowed his eyes and shot out a cold light:

  "You're courting death!"

  Lin Xi's behavior seemed unusual, but the gap in their realms was there. Although one punch hadn't killed Lin Xi, he didn't mind killing him again.

  Boom!

  A vast and overwhelming aura burst forth, surging and turbulent, once again wildly erupting, enveloping Lin Xi within it. Then a fierce explosion suddenly erupted.

  Bang!

  Lin Xi's chest shook violently, and he flew out again. However, his face was radiant with spirit. This time, Lin Xi was fully focused, feeling everything clearly. Just as the true energy of the cultivator in front of him burst out, fiercely striking his body, some strange patterns on the Wan Huang Fa Yi converged together, forming mysterious arrays.

  Then, when the true energy was surging on the formation, more than half of the true energy was intercepted and stored in the formation.

  Lin Xi's mind was clearer than ever before. He finally understood where the damage reduction of the Wanhuang Fayi came from. It turned out that all the true energy of the impact would be absorbed, intercepted and stored by the array on the Wanhuang Fayi.

  At this moment, a majestic and powerful aura was circulating within the Wanhuang Fa Yi. This aura had started to emerge at an imperceptible time, but when Lin Xi was struck for the second time, it became very apparent. It was also at that moment when Lin Xi burst out laughing and said, "I understand now."

  When the black-robed man struck Lin Xi for the third time, the true energy stored in Wan Huang's law clothes had reached a considerable amount.

  This true energy, although it doesn't belong to him, is under his control!

  "Come again!"

  Lin Xi stood up again.

  "How is this possible! I don't believe it, you won't die today!"

  The man in black robes flashed a fierce light in his eyes, and the overwhelming true energy struck again.

  Boom!

  This time, Lin Xi was blown away again, but this time, the clothes on his body could no longer hold up and were blasted into fragments. Underneath, a golden light shone brightly, revealing the majestic and magnificent Wan Huang Fa Yi, emitting intense Yuan Qi fluctuations.

  "Habit!"

  The man in black finally changed color.

  When he saw this law robe, his eyes almost bulged out.

  Too shocking, really too shocking!

  A handle of Fa Xian sword, plus the ultimate skill "Gui Wang Gong" in Lian Qi realm, and a little girl's magic tool, now I have another piece of Fa Yi!

  This seventeen- or eighteen-year-old youth had an endless array of magical tools on his body.

  The man in black had a sense of collapse. He finally understood why, with his skills, he couldn't kill Lin Xi several times in a row.

  However, after understanding, the feeling in my heart is not good at all!

  He originally thought this assassination mission was just a simple task. He absolutely did not expect it to become so complicated!

  Lin Xi found that Wan Huang's law clothes were exposed, so he simply didn't hide it anymore.

  "Haha, the wheel of fortune has turned, this year it's my turn! Now it's my turn to chase and kill you!"

  Lin Xi burst out laughing. He wore the Wan Huang Fa Yi, exuding an air of dignity and grandeur. Inside the Wan Huang Fa Yi, a thick aura circulated, further boosting his confidence.

  "Hmph! What's the use of your monk's robe? The gap between us can't be measured by reason. Even if you have a monk's robe, you'll still die!"

  The man in black robe came back to his senses, with five fingers spread out, a majestic true energy covered the sky and struck again.

  "Hmph, then go ahead and try!"

  Lin Xi coldly smiled and also made his move with his five fingers spread apart.

  Rumble!

  The heavens shook, a tyrannical and overbearing aura burst forth wildly. This aura surged towards the sky, overturning mountains and seas, and was surprisingly identical to the black-robed man's aura.

  "It's impossible!"

  The man in black robes turned pale and exclaimed, his expression changing drastically, no longer calm.
