Chapter 37: Secretly Polishing the Ultimate Killing Technique
As for the outcome of this battle with Hao Wu Xie, Lin Guang was also very satisfied.
Especially the "extermination of evil" showed a huge power, which can be described as terrifying. He did not expect that Li Shuang's casual set of waste would become so powerful after being recognized by its master.
Lin Heng can now control three "Evil-Slaying Needles" according to his plan, and today he will only use one "Evil-Slaying Needle" to duel with Hao Wu Xie, avoiding exposing all his strength too early. However, Hao Wu Xie escaped too quickly, and one needle was not enough to kill him, so Lin Heng had to release a second one.
Two "Evil-Slaying Stabs" can kill a mid-5th rank, this is his greatest gain. From now on, when encountering 5th rank again, he no longer needs to monotonously use the "Wind Shift Style", either using small-scale Triple Harmony or the "Pillar of Heaven".
Even saying "Exterminate Evil Stab" has now surpassed Whirlwind Style and become his greatest killing move.
Killing Huo Wuxie is a huge help to Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji. At least from the deep-seated hatred that Huo Wuxie harbors, especially those ideas that would disembowel all of Wei Wuxian's disciples, it is a mortal threat to Wei Wuxian. Now that he is dead, this threat no longer exists, and Jin Guangyao's power has greatly diminished, making it difficult for him to control Wei Wuxian in the future.
This is also one of the humble things he did for his sister and brother-in-law.
Hao Wu Xie's death has shaken Jinwu Sect to its core, and it seems that from now on, Jinwu Sect won't dare to bully or humiliate Ti Yin Sect again.
After this battle, the next step is to decide the opponent of the next match. Since Zhuo Yi has already been exempted once, he cannot be exempted again. Tomorrow morning, Duan Yin Zong and Hong Shui Men will draw lots to decide who will compete against Zhuo Yi.
And another one will directly enter the final round as a lucky loser.
At this point, Lin Hong is determined to win the final championship! As for Wei Yin's expectations, let's not mention them. The continuous bloody battles, if they don't reach the last step, all the previous efforts would be in vain, and it would be a waste of the blood and sweat he shed.
Moreover, he was also waiting for the two Mu crystals from Zhiyin Sect and the fifty boxes of fire crystal stones that were promised to him.
Fifty boxes of fire crystal stones, not only enough for him to set up a seven-grade spell array, but also sufficient for his daily testing of the spell array's consumption. In short, he has merged with the Ti Yin Sect and obtained the fire crystal mine vein, the greatest benefit being able to meet the needs of this array master, no longer worrying about the materials for the spell array.
Even if fifty boxes were used up, with his relationship with Zong Zheng, as long as he opened his mouth, Xie Lixia's younger brother would not refuse.
In the previous match, the remaining two opponents both obviously left a hand.
Zhuo Yi didn't care much about that, what he cared about was Ye Xiaocui's martial skills which were similar to Dongfang Bubai's.
These past few days, he had been constantly testing, even sometimes using the "Trembling Pulse Rhythm", but still couldn't understand how the other party managed to bind others' energy with their own.
As everyone was still enjoying themselves, the next morning arrived.
Although there was no match at noon today, enthusiasts were excited and came early to wait for the draw results.
Lin Huan's reputation soared after his match against Hao Wu, and nearly 80% of people hoped he would draw Zhuo Yi in the finals. The excitement and thrill that Lin Huan brought was something that others couldn't compare to.
Xie Li and Hong Shui Zong's Great Elder both went up to the main seat, after a round of arrangements, Xie Li drew the shift.
Lin Heng directly entered the final, while Ye Xiaocui of Hong Shui Zong competed with Zhu Yi for a spot.
Everyone was disappointed for a moment, without Lin Huan, it also means that the battle lacks brilliance. But Xie Li and Wei Yan Zong's disciples were greatly excited, because this means that Wei Yan Zong has entered the final match, and is infinitely close to those two mineral veins.
Such a result also made Zhuo Yi of Mo Tan Zong let out a sigh of relief.
Although he knew that if he went forward, he would inevitably meet Lin Huan again, but being able to delay their meeting for a while made him inexplicably feel relieved. The pressure from Lin Huan's "Exterminating Evil Stab" was too great, causing this mid-stage fifth-grade cultivator to feel fearful.
As the crowd dispersed, Lin Heyang was about to leave when his eyes swept across and unintentionally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the crowd.
He was taken aback for a moment, and then a hint of a smile appeared on his face: "This guy is not in Loulan City, how can he be here? Did you move Duobao Hall to Shoujing Mountains?"
Because he killed Hao Wuxie, and this was also the Jinwu Sect's territory, Lin Heng rarely went out to show off, lest he stir up another storm.
He wasn't afraid of those minor characters from Jīn Wū Zōng, but rather too lazy to kill people and didn't want to waste his energy.
Mr. Twenty Thousand sat opposite him, a smile on his face: "I didn't expect that you would come for just a few months and stir up the entire Shou Jing mountain range, overturning heaven and earth. I admire you, I admire you."
But also, with your ability, it's like a giant dragon in a small pool, and any movement will splash out a lot of water.
After traveling together for more than half a year, Lin Hong didn't consider him an outsider either. This guy was also his only old friend in this place. Smiling, he said: "You're the mighty Dragon, Multi-Treasures Hall's pioneer, and I'm just a small worm that can't even be considered as one of your fingers. Right? You, the great pioneer of Multi-Treasures Hall, wouldn't have come here to watch such a trivial competition, would you?"
"Sesame, is this a small competition? Indeed, as one's status rises, so does their vision. Do you know that this match can be hailed as the greatest battle in the Shou Jing Mountains in nearly twenty years? Even the Lou Lan City thousands of miles away is constantly discussing it. In the eyes of Lin, the great strongman, this is actually a small competition?"
Lin Heng surrendered: "You're a businessman, with a tongue as sharp as a knife. I surrender, don't humiliate me anymore. Are you here to watch my match? I don't have any hobbies of wearing a sword on my back, so don't get any ideas about me."
Mr. Wan rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean? At my age, I wouldn't be afraid of you even if I wanted to!"
"This time I came, it's really for business. Originally, I was still worried that there was no way out, didn't expect to meet a local snake like you, just in time..."
Lin Hang was quite unfamiliar with business and waved his hand, saying: "Don't try to flatter me. If I can help you, I won't decline. If I can't, no matter how beautifully you put it, it's useless."
"This matter can only be helped by you! Others don't have this ability." Mr. Twenty Thousand smiled.
Lin Heng was taken aback and saw that he wasn't joking, so he asked: "What's going on?"
"Help me win this final and get those two crystal mines."
Lin Heng's head was filled with misty water, but he suddenly froze and blurted out: "What are you looking at in the two mines of Zhong Bao Fang?"
Mr. Liangwan smiled and nodded, saying: "Those two mineral veins have a huge reserve, selling such a large amount of crystal stones requires a stable cooperative partner. If you help the Yi Yin Sect win this battle, after they obtain the two mineral veins, as long as you propose to Xie Li that we take over the operating rights and give him a share, he will definitely not refuse. Given my friendship with Duo Bao Fang and yours, in desperation, I can only beg you for a meal."
Lin Heng suddenly realized that it was no wonder this guy didn't stay in Shui Ye Town, but came for the crystal ore vein.
But this is also a good idea. With the sales network of Duobao Workshop, compared to the hidden sect itself finding sellers, it's a win-win situation for both parties.
When sending Mr. Liangwan away, Mr. Liangwan turned around and said in a low voice: "You have to remind that little...
"Otoji's Putiko, he might have his eyes on you."
Lin Heng was stunned, and Mr. Wan had already quietly left.
"Looked at me? What did Xiaoyin Temple look at himself?" Lin Heng was shocked, but since the two million masters had made an early warning, it seemed to be for their own good.
The second day, the quiet Jinwu Sect was bustling again.
Ye Xiaocui and Zhuo Yizhi's battle, although Lin Huan was absent, it was still a confrontation between super strong masters, with even Lian Biyin's junior disciples rushing to occupy positions early.
Lin Huan didn't go watch the battle, it wasn't that he wasn't interested in the big killing moves the two of them were hiding.
But with Hao Wu Xie's "Qu Xie Ci" powerful, he still sensed some flaws. For example, he used one "Qu Xie Ci" to pursue Hao Wu Xie, but it had no effect on Hao Wu Xie. It wasn't until the second combined attack that he was able to kill Hao Wu Xie, and even then, Hao Wu Xie was able to block for a while.
It is clear that such a disorderly and direct attack did not bring out the full power of "exterminating evil".
He decided to spend a day indoors studying "the art of professional assassination".
If "Jie Xie Ci" develops a unique way of attacking, it will be even more terrifying.
The room was very quiet, with a lone "Exorcist's Stake" hanging from the ceiling, emitting a chill in the air. The environment of the room was undoubtedly extremely cramped and not suitable for inviting guests. But there was no other way, as only inside the house could they avoid being spied on by outsiders.
"Whoosh!" The Exorcist Dagger flashed out, and when Lin Yang felt it was about to pierce the wall, his mind controlled it, and the dagger suddenly braked, stopping less than half an inch from the wall.
"Stop is stop, but at this moment another attack, obviously losing long-distance momentum, lethality can be ignored."
Lin Heng shook his head, "Thrust of the Evil" itself has a very weak initiating force, its maximum destructive power comes from the energy of diving and the coordination with the small magic arrays inside the body.
Halfway through, if you stop abruptly and then dive again for a second time, all your previous efforts will be in vain.
Lin Heng brought back the Exorcism Needle and pondered for a moment before it flew out again.
This time the "Jian Xie Ci" slightly lifted upwards, then dived down and swooped. Less than half a foot away from the wall, the tip of the "Jian Xie Ci" suddenly sank, violently changing direction.
"Thrust" "Punish evil stab" in an instant into the wall inside.
It's slightly better than before, but the change is still too small and simple. The biggest difficulty is that "Zhū Xiè" speed is too abnormal, thousands of miles in an instant, giving him a very short time to control. As soon as he hesitates for half a second, the angle is not adjusted well, it's easy to become stiff, and the power is greatly reduced.
After recognizing the master, Lin Heng and "Exterminate Evil Stab" had a mental connection, thinking that he had fully grasped "Exterminate Evil Stab". However, he still knew that this was a serious mistake. Before, he indeed controlled Exterminate Evil Stab's emergency stop, but that wasn't the extreme speed of Exterminate Evil Stab's attacking state. Moreover, he only controlled the emergency stop and didn't accurately control it to a certain point.
"Alas, it turns out that I am still far from mastering the 'extermination of evil' technique, to develop a set of professional attacks using 'extermination of evil', it seems that I must first grasp the basic skills."
So, for the entire morning, he hid in his room and practiced "Exterminating Evil Stab" at the extreme speed of attack, precise emergency stop, temporary line change, and continuous control during advancement. In the past, he could also feel the state of "Exterminating Evil Stab" in flight, but that was a rough state, completely unable to observe the changes in flight speed and the outside world.
Under his constant practice, he made rapid progress. He could even use a slow-motion-like effect within "Exterminate Evil", like a driver looking at the slowly passing outside environment, looking at the target ahead, and then quickly braking just before hitting it, or easily changing direction.
This control of change is entirely different from the previous sudden stop, which was based on a rough sense of time. The second type involves placing one's consciousness inside the "extermination needle" and using one's eyes to observe the distance, looking at the target in front, and issuing precise commands.
Lin Heng had an indescribable sense of refreshment, and it wasn't until now that he truly grasped the basics of "Exterminating Evil Stab".
"Zhu Xie Ci" was a technique that consumed spiritual energy, and after nearly three hours of practice, Lin Heng felt extremely exhausted due to the continuous consumption of his spiritual energy.
He ceased to continue his practice, sat cross-legged with eyes closed, and nourished his spirit.
Due to the tightly closed doors and windows, the room was dimly lit. Lin Hang listened to the sound of the Tianguang Sect disciples returning outside, chattering away, clearly indicating that Ye Xiaocui and Zhuo Yi's great battle had come to an end. He took a glance at the Divine Seed, feeling that it had recovered more or less, and slowly opened his eyes.
Lin Huan didn't have too much concern for the fight between the two, but in the end he still wanted to know because he had to know who his opponent would be tomorrow.
Di Huan Zong's disciple saw him come out, and he was excited: "Lin Shixiong, you really shouldn't miss this great battle. You don't know how wonderful it is."
Two disciples surrounded him, narrating with flying colors and eyebrows dancing.
Lin Hang listened to their flying saliva, the only thing he knew was that Ye Xiaocui won, but also failed to kill Zhuo Yi, which means Ye Xiaocui will compete with him in the final for each sect.
This Qingyu Xianjing's Ye Xiaocui is indeed deeply hidden and not exposed. As a fourth-grade late-stage cultivator, she defeated the fifth-grade late-stage cultivator Zhuo Yi.
With this ability, she is definitely not a simple character in Qingyu Xianjing, but I don't know what her background is.
The Qingyu Xianjing, although not as vast and majestic as the Xuántiān Sect, has more than a million disciples scattered throughout the major cities of the Han country. It is also an ancient sect with a long history. The majority of its members are female, and several of its elders and sect masters are legendary super-strong practitioners.
Tomorrow, I'll be facing her, and I must thoroughly test her bound energy martial skills. Who knows, it might greatly help improve my own "Trembling Pulse Rhythm".
After resting for a while, Lin Huan re-entered the work of polishing the "Exterminate Evil" ultimate killing technique.
This time, he summoned two "Evil-Piercing Stabs". What is called an attacking combination must be more than one, only two or above can be called a combination. After the previous practice of controlling techniques, Lin Yang was confident that there would be no difficulty in mastering it again, so he officially entered the mutual coordination of the two "Evil-Piercing Stabs".
Of course, his current maximum limit is to control three "Evil-Piercing Stabs". If he can really make his dream come true and independently develop a set of attacking techniques, the "Evil-Piercing Stab" will definitely be an ultra-super killing move.
In the quiet room, it was even quieter. Lin's room occasionally emitted a "thumping" sound.
