Hei Deng Xia Huo
Chapter 156 Martial World
Tap tap tap.
The young man in brocade was running headlong through the dense forest after the rain.
His mud-caked black boots trampled the soft, carpet-like fallen leaves.
The black mud on the young man's face was blown away by the whistling wind.
The mud on his body, however, stuck firmly to his clothes, making him feel sticky all over.
But the young man felt no irritation in his heart.
Only tranquility, and fury.
He darted out silently from the darkness, his palm accurately seizing the neck of an assassin dressed in night clothes, holding a long sword and a torch.
Crack.
A muffled sound.
The assassin's neck bones snapped, and his head drooped like a wilted chicken.
Lin Yu's eyes narrowed. He hadn't actually intended to kill with a single blow, but only to restrict the other party's movements.
However, killing him was killing him.
He pressed forward, grabbed the assassin's left hand holding the torch, and threw the torch to the ground, extinguishing the flame.
At the same time, he supported the assassin's corpse, silently laying it down on the ground, and uncovered the black cloth covering the mouth on the night clothes.
By the faint moonlight, Lin Yu could clearly see that this assassin was none other than a young disciple of the Qingcheng Sword Sect. It was he who had used a Palm of Heart Destruction to break into the crowd and confront the second leader of the Yongcheng Escort Agency, who was well-known in Xunzhou.
That second leader of the Yongcheng Escort Agency was seven feet tall, with a waist like a cylinder, a face full of橫肉 (héngròu, fleshy and fierce looking). Every day, he would lift two stone locks weighing nearly a hundred catties, from fist to shoulder, leaping over his head and passing through his crotch, sometimes behind his head, sometimes in front of his eyes. Just watching him made people feel timid.
The heroes of the green forests around Fu County also gave him a nickname, calling him Ke Tongtian.
However, in the face of true martial arts experts, Ke Tongtian was completely vulnerable.
He was directly struck on the wrist by a Qingcheng Sword Sect disciple, his weapon was knocked off, and then he was struck on the chest with another palm, ending his life.
Internal Force.
Lin Yu recalled what his father, Lin Zhennan, had once said: only those who possessed internal force were considered true martial artists.
With internal force, one could be as light as a swallow, leaving no trace on the snow.
One could be faster than a galloping horse, traveling a hundred miles a day without weakening.
Those with profound internal force could even use falling leaves and flying flowers as swords, injuring people invisibly, capable of fighting ten or a hundred people, and taking the head of a general from a myriad of troops.
The young disciple lying on the ground was also a rising star of the Qingcheng Sword Sect, whose martial arts skills were far superior to those of Yu Renyan, the incompetent son of the sect leader.
And now, the other party was dead in this deep mountain forest like mud, all his ambitions and talents turned to nothing.
"Senior brother!"
A sorrowful cry came from behind. Lin Yu, who was stunned, turned around and saw another Qingcheng disciple in night clothes, holding a torch and standing not far away, his face full of grief and hatred, drawing his sword and stabbing.
Was he discovered?
Lin Yu's thoughts hesitated slightly in his mind. Yesterday, he was just a纨绔子弟 (wánkù zǐdì, good-for-nothing son of a high-ranking official) with a good appearance, who had learned a little bit of superficial kung fu, but he was still discovered.
But, it didn't seem to matter.
The firelight flickered in the dense forest, and the Qingcheng Sword Sect disciples who heard the cry rushed over.
And Lin Yu just twisted his neck,
Hoo, ha.
The energy bestowed by the 【Maimai】 drink surged through his blood vessels.
At this moment, he could feel his weak and powerless muscles and bones were being gradually strengthened.
The blood vessels formed by his unhealthy habits were gradually returning to their place.
Just as the Shenlong (divine dragon) had said,
【Maimai】 can make people's blood pulse back.
Lin Yu snatched the long sword from the corpse at his feet, and walked slowly towards the enemy.
The four eyes met,
Each could see the deep-seated hatred in the other's eyes.
A Qingcheng Sword Sect disciple gritted his teeth and said, "Kill him, avenge senior brother, and take back the sword manual for master!"
Lin Yu smiled dumbly. Yes, the Qingcheng Sword Sect's leader, Yu Canghai, was eager for fame and reputation. Even though he had done the extermination of the Yongcheng Escort Agency, he still had to lie to his disciples, claiming that the first leader of the Yongcheng Escort Agency, Lin Yu's great-grandfather, had stolen the secret sword manual from the Qingcheng Sword Sect's library.
He shook his head, casually swept his sword horizontally, parrying a sneak attack from the right,
And with a casual pick, he cut open the throat of the Qingcheng Sword Sect disciple who had launched the sneak attack.
He had no internal force, but his strength, agility, and perception far exceeded everyone present.
So that the opponent's sneak attack,
Seemed so slow, sluggish, and weak.
The blood gushing out from the opponent's throat splashed on Lin Yu's face, but he seemed unaware, pressing forward and kicking out.
Thump!
The Qingcheng disciple who didn't even have time to cover his throat with his hand flew out, smashing into a tree trunk,
Breaking the hundred-year-old tree that one person could hug in half,
Shaking down countless fallen leaves and rain.
And he himself was also broken into two pieces, his internal organs spilling all over the ground.
The other Qingcheng disciples watched all this happen in disbelief.
They had also participated in the massacre of the Yongcheng Escort Agency, and had seen how weak and powerless Lin Yu was that day. They couldn't believe that the helpless crying, begging Yu Canghai to exchange his life for his life, the young master of the Yongcheng Escort Agency,
Would be the demon who kills without blinking an eye tonight.
"Are you...also afraid?"
Lin Yu took a deep breath, looked back at the enemies, and his overly forceful palm even made the sword hilt creak. "Are you...also afraid!"
"Run!"
Anger and fear overwhelmed the Qingcheng disciples' reason.
Everyone turned around and fled,
But behind them, there was the sound of palms tearing through the air.
————
Drip.
A drop of rainwater slid from the eaves of the dilapidated temple.
Lin Yu dragged his heavy steps into the temple, kneeling down in front of the iron box without hesitation or a word.
The brocade clothes on his body were covered in blood.
This blood did not come from him, but from outside the temple,
From the twenty or so Qingcheng Sword Sect disciples, dead or alive, who were tied together with scraps of cloth by him.
"Shenlong (divine dragon) saved my life and gave me the strength to avenge myself,"
Lin Yu choked and said, "Your great kindness and virtue, even if I were crushed to pieces, would be difficult to repay."
"Get up."
The dragon head said lazily, "How does it feel to kill people?"
"Ah?"
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment. He never expected that the Shenlong (divine dragon) would ask this.
He hesitated for a while, his mind full of thoughts.
Anger? Joy? Pleasure? Relief? Pain? Guilt?
All kinds of words flashed through his mind, and finally turned into a sentence,
"No feeling,"
Lin Yu answered honestly, "I just feel...less irritable."
"Hahahaha."
The dragon head laughed loudly, "Did these people behind you participate in the extermination of your family back then?"
"Yes."
"Why not kill them all?"
"The strength was given to this junior by the Shenlong (divine dragon),"
Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, "These people's lives should be disposed of by the Shenlong (divine dragon)..."
The dragon head noticed the expression on his face, and casually smiled, "Anything else?"
"Also..."
Lin Yu gritted his teeth, "One of them said that this junior's parents may still be alive.
Yu Canghai deliberately imprisoned this junior's parents and this junior in my Lin family's dungeon, trying to extract the whereabouts of the sword manual,
Never thought that this junior would escape.
At this moment, this junior's parents must be suffering interrogation and torture."
"You want to save them?"
"I do!"
"How to save them?"
The Shenlong (divine dragon) said lightly, "The 【Maimai】 drink is good, but it can only last for a while. By the time you rush back to Xunzhou, the effect of the medicine will probably be almost exhausted.
Yu Canghai himself is not in Xunzhou,
But you yourself have become a weak young master again. What will you use to break through the encirclement of the Qingcheng Sword Sect disciples left behind in the Lin family?"
"..."
Lin Yu was stunned when he heard this. He really hadn't thought that the 【Maimai】 drink had a time limit for its medicinal effect. He kowtowed and gritted his teeth, "Then this junior will go to Haozhou to find the Huashan Sect leader, the Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun, the Songshan Sect leader, Zuo Lengchan, and other leaders of the righteous sects,
And tell them everything about the Qingcheng Sword Sect's extermination of the Yongcheng Escort Agency,
And expose Yu Canghai's atrocities to the public, so that he will be discredited and jointly punished by knights from all over the world."
"Oh?"
The dragon head tilted its head, "Yu Canghai is the leader of the Qingcheng Sword Sect,
He has a long-standing reputation and acts upright.
You, a young master from Xunzhou, are slandering Yu Canghai for exterminating your family with empty words. Where is the evidence?
Is the evidence the corpses of these Qingcheng Sword Sect disciples lying on the ground?
Or your sword manual?
Will the knights believe you or Yu Canghai?
Even if you can produce concrete evidence, what if he says that you killed his son Yu Renyan first, and that the extermination of the Yongcheng Escort Agency was to repay evil with evil, an eye for an eye?"
"..."
Lin Yu was speechless for a moment, and subconsciously grabbed the ground hard with his palm, breaking the stone ground.
He took a deep breath, knocked his head heavily on the ground, his forehead was smashed with blood, and he could vaguely see the white bones below. He said in a hoarse voice, "Please, Shenlong (divine dragon), save my parents,
This junior will repay you even if I am a slave."
"Oh?"
The dragon head said lightly, "Do I need you, a mere mortal, to be a servant?
Do you know,
That year, when my Dragon King Order was issued, 100,000 soldiers returned,
With a single order, I can bankrupt the Wang family with assets of hundreds of millions.
In the heavens and the earth, countless creatures fear my Dragon King's power."
As he spoke, the dragon head's eyes in the LCD screen gradually lit up with two red lights.
The dragon whiskers moved automatically without wind,
The dragon head's voice also became extremely hoarse and deep, as if echoing from an empty valley, accompanied by rolling thunder special effects, appearing extremely majestic and sacred.
Lin Yu kowtowed even more devoutly, although he did not know what a Dragon King Order was, nor what a Wang family with assets of hundreds of millions was.
"However,"
The dragon head suddenly softened its tone, and the surrounding special effects light also dissipated, "Meeting is fate.
Since you can meet me, it proves that your fate and luck are not bad.
How about this, if you can agree to one thing, I will give you the power to save your parents and avenge yourself."
"Shenlong (divine dragon), please speak!"
Lin Yu said quickly, "No matter what it is, as long as it can save this junior's parents, even if it means going up a mountain of knives or down a sea of fire, this junior is willing to go."
"Hehe."
The Shenlong (divine dragon) shook its head, "Making promises casually without knowing the content of the transaction can lead to endless evil consequences.
How about this, go and drag those people in."
Lin Yu immediately did so, turned around and dragged the bound Qingcheng Sword Sect disciples into the temple.
Among these people who were still alive, their hand tendons and foot tendons were all severed by swords, and their mouths were stuffed with scraps of cloth.
But Lin Yu was still too young, and he didn't cut off their tongues.
After the rotten cloth was torn from their mouths, the living Qingcheng Sword Sect disciples either wailed and screamed, or cried and begged for mercy.
Some clever ones immediately kowtowed frantically to the terminal vending machine, begging for mercy.
The dragon head instructed, "Throw all the weapons, silver, and valuable things on their bodies into the coin slot."
Lin Yu obeyed the order,
I don't know what the coin slot was made of, but it was like a bottomless cave, able to accommodate twenty or so long swords.
As these valuables were thrown into it, the numbers on the vending machine's LCD panel kept jumping, and finally stopped at 170.
"Only worth a hundred points of spirit energy?"
Li Ang pondered, he was actually using it for the first time, and he didn't quite understand the vending machine's pricing rules. "According to the principle of equivalent exchange, it's not enough...
Why don't you try cutting these people up and throwing them in?"
"Ah?"
Lin Yu was stunned in place when he heard this.
The group of Qingcheng Sword Sect disciples whose hand and foot tendons were severed trembled even more, lost control of their bladders on the spot, and kept begging for mercy.
"..."
Lin Yu pursed his lips, took a deep breath, drew his sword and stepped forward, ending the lives of these people.
His arm trembled slightly as he placed the corpses in front of the coin slot, causing the corpses to be sucked away by the coin slot.
"175, 180, 200...
The value of dead people is actually not as good as those treasures, swords and broken silver?"
Li Ang thought for a moment, and said to Lin Yu, "Try selling the sword manual on your body."
Lin Yu's heart suddenly stopped. The 【Evil-Slaying Sword Manual】 in his arms was passed down from his great-grandfather Lin Yuantu, and strictly forbade future generations from learning it.
Just for this sword manual, dozens of people in the Lin family, along with the entire Yongcheng Escort Agency, were massacred.
"..."
Lin Yu's heart pounded, and finally, he silently took out the sword manual and stuffed it into the coin slot.
No matter how magical and amazing the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual was, it was just a mortal secret book.
And the Shenlong (divine dragon) and this iron box were definitely not things of the mortal world.
"Oh? This secret book is quite interesting, open the door, worth 500 points."
The Shenlong (divine dragon) pondered, "Come, come, let's go online, family members,
Come here, this is what you can buy now, choose."
Lin Yu, who had just ended the lives of a dozen people, came back to his senses, walked to the terminal vending machine,
According to the dragon head's instructions, he pressed the 【Self-Service Selection】 button on the LCD panel, slid the scroll wheel, and browsed the product catalog.
The goods in the terminal vending machine were all purchased in bulk by Li Ang from Mule.
All-encompassing, all-inclusive,
It almost covered the vast majority of goods that can be bought in the low-end market of the killing game,
The purpose was to be able to solve the diverse needs of different customers when using the terminal vending machine, facing different technology trees in different worlds.
【Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus】, the supreme peak hidden weapon of the Tang Sect, created by the Tang Sect founder Tang Kun with all his life's energy. Once activated, thousands of hidden weapons will shoot out in all directions, and it is an unparalleled weapon that can kill titled Douluo and make god-level powerhouses change color.
【Shattered Dream Saber】, a dark blue ring-headed broadsword, with a plain surface, simple material, and not very sharp, but its effect is strange and amazing. Whenever the user encounters emotional frustration and is betrayed and hurt by a loved one, it can enhance the user's skill. The greener it is, the stronger it is, the stronger it is, the greener it is, known as the Shattered Dream Treasure Saber, commanding heroes, in the martial arts world, who dares not to obey.
【Overlord Spear】, seemingly a long spear without a spearhead, in fact, when the user presses the mechanism on the surface of the spear shaft, the spearhead part can spray out explosive flames, commonly known as "a salute to the birth of the king."
...
The dazzling list of goods, unheard-of magical effects,
Made Lin Yu dazzled, and couldn't wait to immediately take away these magical weapons,
Return to his hometown, save his parents who had been imprisoned in the dungeon for a long time,
Kill the enemy with a sea of blood and deep hatred.
However, after noticing the price tags on these goods, Lin Yu calmed down again,
The Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus sold for more than 2,000 points, and the Shattered Dream Saber sold for 1,000 points.
None of them were something he could buy now, even with the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual.
Lin Yu picked and chose, but still couldn't make a decision.
The Shenlong (divine dragon) next to him kept urging, "Pay quickly if you haven't paid, pay quickly, family members."
Helpless, Lin Yu had to look at the Shenlong (divine dragon) again, requesting the Shenlong (divine dragon) to give him guidance.
"Can't choose?"
Li Ang smiled, "Do you feel that the water here is very deep, you don't have that much experience, you don't have that much experience, and you can't grasp it?
Never mind, you just buy this product."
"This is..."
Lin Yu hesitated and looked at the link sent by the Shenlong (divine dragon), and read the name of the product, 【Justice Execution · Batman Suit】?
