Chapter 80: Confrontation
At the entrance of Instruction Yard, the originally elegant bamboo fence door had already been pushed to the ground.
The yellow wooden plaque with the words "Instruction Yard" written on it had also been trampled into several pieces. There were footprints all over it and it had sunk into the mud.
The Instruction Yard was in chaos. More than 20 soldiers were like a group of locusts passing through. They kept shuttling back and forth between the rooms in the Instruction Yard, smashing and snatching as if they were entering an uninhabited place. From time to time, someone would move out wooden boxes, boxes, and gold artifacts and pile them on the empty space in the pavilion, as if they were emptying the Dragon Gate Pavilion.
On the east side of Instruction Yard, outside the room of the Eldest Senior Brother of Dragon Gate Pavilion, Zang Wei.
From left to right, five Dragon Gate Pavilion disciples knelt on the ground. They were all tied up with cow tendon ropes and faced Zang Wei's house. Their faces were pale.
On their right, two corpses were kneeling at the same distance. Blood splattered everywhere like fireworks.
Behind them.
Commander Li Qu was dressed in burly armor and sitting domineeringly. He sat on a mahogany chair that had been moved from somewhere and placed one hand on his chest. His expression was gloomy and dense fear flashed in his eyes.
"It was too fast…
"Zang Wei, oh Zang Wei, you're indeed more talented than me. I didn't expect you to cultivate the Roaming Dragon Crossing to such a level after losing an arm.
"If I hadn't reacted quickly and my strength wasn't what it used to be, I might have really failed miserably and ruined things…"
There was a dent in the iron armor on his chest. The iron skin was cracked, and it was obvious that it was a fist mark. It was an inch away from hitting his heart.
This was clearly the thickest part of the armor. It was difficult to imagine how terrifyingly strong the attack was to be able to beat it into such a state.
"People like you are exactly what we need. But why can't you turn around…"
He looked up at the sky. "It's about time."
He turned around and said coldly, "Seventeen, do it."
Behind him, from left to right, stood three giants that were like iron towers. Their arms were as long as their legs and their proportions were deformed. From left to right, they each held a bronze mountain-splitting axe, a thick mace, and a bronze hammer.
Hearing his voice, the strange person holding the bronze hammer on the far right chuckled and strode out.
"No! No! Don't kill me! I'm willing to eat the Heart Severing Pill! I'll eat it! I'll eat it!" Among the five disciples kneeling in the front row, the one on the right begged for mercy loudly.
However, the strange person was unmoved. A bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips. He raised the bronze hammer high and slashed down from the sky, hitting the back of the disciple and flattening him into a pool of mud. His blood was like a water ball that had exploded, splashing in all directions like fireworks.
The remaining four people were covered in blood and trembled violently. One of them was wet and the smell of urine was pungent.
Li Qu did not move and shouted coldly, "Zang Wei! This is the third one. You don't have much time left. If you don't surrender now, when the remaining four people are all dead, I can only attack forcefully. At that time, how many of the twenty-odd people in your courtyard can survive?"
He waved his hand again, and the giant hammer man suddenly raised his hammer again and smashed down, killing another person on the spot.
"F*ck! Kill me! Kill me!"
"Let me go. I'm not even a martial artist!"
"Spare me, spare me!"
The remaining three cried out in fear.
Li Qu was expressionless. Instead, he revealed a look of reminiscence and sighed. "Zang Wei, oh Zang Wei. Back then, in the Dingdeng Genius Battle, you only used ten moves to defeat me.
"How high-spirited and carefree.
"But what happened after that?
"You rejected the master's recruitment and ended up losing an arm.
"And I was flexible and eventually surpassed you.
"This is the difference in choices!
"Now, another choice is put in front of you again. Could it be that you want to miss it again?"
He waved his hand again, and the huge hammer was like a ghost as it smashed down. This time, he waved his hand twice, so the hammer fell twice in a row.
The six exploded blood flowers in front of him were evenly arranged according to a certain distance. Only the leftmost person was left. The last person was completely scared unconscious and lay on the ground.
"Think about it carefully. I'll give you one last time. Fifteen minutes."
As Li Qu spoke, he stood up and walked back for a while. He looked at the martial arts arena and listened carefully.
From a moment ago, there was a commotion there, accompanied by screams and cries. Now, it was getting louder.
A trace of vigilance appeared on his face. He stopped a soldier who ran past him. "Go, call everyone over and gather in formation!"
"Yes, sir!"
In Zang Wei's courtyard.
His house was not small. The largest room was the martial arts hall.
At this moment, the martial arts hall was filled with 20 to 30 people. It seemed rather crowded.
Everyone's faces were filled with fear and sorrow. The atmosphere of despair enveloped the entire martial arts hall. Everyone looked at Zang Wei from time to time, but they quickly looked away and fell into a silent silence.
Zang Wei sat on the left side of the martial arts hall and tried his best to maintain his composure. However, his pale face and his trembling and bleeding arm indicated that he was not in a good state.
Beside him, Du Fushan slumped against the wall with a worried expression. "Ah Wei, are you alright?"
He was a solidly built middle-aged man of no more than forty, with a ring of beard.
Zang Wei shook his head. "I forcefully circulated my strength just now and injured myself. Give me some time to rest. I can still fight another round…"
Du Fushan sighed slightly. "I know that you have increased the power of the Roaming Dragon Crossing by creating your own force. However, the other party is already prepared. Can you still hit him?"
Zang Wei fell silent.
The impact of losing an arm on his strength was too great. It had decreased by at least 30 to 50%.
Zang Wei's eyes were filled with determination. "As Eldest Senior Brother, I should act like one. Even if I can't win, I have to fight!"
Suddenly, someone stood up. "Eldest Senior Brother, I don't agree with you!"
Everyone looked over. The person who spoke was Wang Qinggang.
Du Fushan frowned slightly. "Qinggang!"
Wang Qinggang said respectfully, "Master."
Then, he continued, "Eldest Senior Brother, we've lost! A loss is a loss! As long as there's life, there's hope. Why fight him to the death? That person makes sense. Only by being flexible can one be a man!"
Du Fushan's brows pricked up. "What nonsense are you spouting! That Heart Severing Pill sounds like a highly toxic item. After consuming it, one's life and death will not be in one's control. Wouldn't one be controlled by others?"
"It's better than dying on the spot, Master!"
Wang Qinggang said, "Besides, I think that commander and Eldest Senior Brother appreciate each other. As long as Eldest Senior Brother goes to beg for mercy and admit his mistake, that man will definitely be lenient and we will receive preferential treatment!"
"Nonsense!" Du Fushan reprimanded.
Wang Qinggang swept his hand across. "Master, look at the surrounding senior and junior brothers. How many of them want to die and how many of them want to live!" Du Fushan swept his gaze over and his heart trembled slightly. Blood flowed, injuries were inflicted, and pairs of panicked eyes avoided his gaze. More than half of them had already lost their courage.
Wang Qinggang strode forward and looked straight at Zang Wei with bright eyes. "Eldest Senior Brother, everyone wants to live. How can you cut off all our paths of survival because of your selfishness and willfulness?!"
Zang Wei's gaze focused as he lowered his eyes. He felt a chill in his heart. "Selfishness and willfulness? Why? Is that how you look at me?"
"Pfft! Coward!"
Suddenly, a cold shout attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone looked over. The person who spoke was Chen Yuan. Her hair was messy, and the plain clothes on her body were gray, but it did not reduce her beauty. She stood alone like a beautiful scenery.
On her right was a fair little girl, who held a wooden box with both hands and carried it with great effort. She stood side by side with Chen Yuan, sharing her attitude. Behind her was a submissive maidservant who was already frightened.
A cold glint flashed across Wang Qinggang's eyes. "Senior Sister Chen Yuan, am I wrong?" "More than wrong? I'll be straightforward. Wang Qinggang, you're a wuss!"
Wang Qinggang was furious.
"If you're afraid of death, just say so. Everyone is afraid of death. Who are you speaking so boldly for?
"You still have the cheek to say that Eldest Senior Brother is stubborn and willful.
"Pfft!
"With Eldest Senior Brother's strength, can those people outside stop him if he wants to leave with his speed?
"If it weren't for him protecting us all the way and not hesitating to fight to the death, would he be injured to this extent?
"Everyone is working hard to survive, but what about you?
"Your clothes are clean, and your shoes are clean. We've been fighting non-stop along the way, but you haven't even moved a finger!
"You still have the guts to jump out and speak shamelessly?
"How despicable!"
Everyone looked around and was speechless. It was true. This Wang Qinggang was not only clean, he was simply too clean.
Wang Qinggang's face turned green and red. He subconsciously clenched his fists, and a trace of frustration and killing intent flashed in his eyes.
"Enough!"
Zang Wei stood up slowly and shouted coldly.
"With the enemy in front of us, we can't panic."
He glanced at the despairing crowd and sighed in his heart. In this situation, he had no choice at all.
"Master, when are you coming back…"
Suddenly, a violent commotion sounded outside. Many cries and howls sounded, as if they were defeated. It was extremely noisy.
Zang Wei's expression froze as he immediately leaned against the window to take a look. The other disciples also leaned against the window at the side and peeped out through the crack in the door.
Du Fushan asked weakly, "Ah Wei, what happened!"
Zang Wei had an inexplicable expression.. "Master Du, someone seems to be attacking!"
Chapter 81: Fierce Battle
Li Qu's eyes narrowed into slits. Across the twenty-man phalanx, he seemed to want to see the two openly running figures that attacked from afar behind the defeated soldiers.
"Where did this Tough Realm come from? Other than Zang Wei, Du Fushan, and Pang Meng, are there any other Tough Realms in the Dragon Gate Pavilion?"
He raised his hand and waved it gently. "Chase them away!"
With a whoosh, a cold light flashed. The soldiers who were in formation drew their sabers in unison and slashed mercilessly at the fleeing soldiers, forcefully dispersing and killing them.
"Eighteen, you guard the courtyard. Seventeen, nineteen, the two of you, fight with me."
The phalanx of soldiers spread out. The huge strange person holding the mountain-splitting axe and bronze hammer walked out and followed behind Li Qu. He passed through the phalanx crowd and guarded at the front.
When the two of them saw this, they did not stop. Instead, they sped up.
…..
"You're still wearing our standard armor…" A trace of seriousness flashed across Li Qu's eyes as he pointed at a few soldiers. "The few of you, when we fight later, wait for an opportunity to leave and report to Tiger Camp!"
The five soldiers who were pointed out cupped their fists solemnly and spread out from the side, preparing to take action.
Lin Yan and Xie Lingyan sped forward, wishing that there was a gust of wind under their feet.
"Miss Xie, just deal with that commander later. Leave the rest of the strange people to me. I'll create an opportunity for Pang Tong!"
Xie Lingyan's eyes narrowed. "That strange person is almost no weaker than a Tough Realm cultivator. Although he's clumsy, he's extremely strong and very resistant to attacks. If it's a two-on-one, even I won't be a match for them! Not to mention, there are three of them!"
Lin Yan said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't joke with my life."
Xie Lingyan was silent for a moment. "Okay!"
Both of their expressions were extremely solemn. Their skins trembled, and their hands and feet burned.
The reinforcements from Tiger Camp would probably arrive soon. They had to end the battle quickly!
Without any delay, Xie Lingyan was one step faster than Lin Yan. With the momentum of inertia, she struck out layers of force at Commander Li Qu.
The monster with the Mountain Splitting Axe raised it high and was about to slash down with a bloodthirsty expression.
Lin Yan suddenly threw the iron hook in his hand at the strange man's face.
The strange man could only put down the Mountain Splitting Axe and block the big iron hook head-on.
Clang!
With a loud bang, the strange person was forced back a few steps by the inertia.
On the other side, Lin Yan had already approached the mace man. He flew up and kicked the other man's bronze hammer, causing him to take a few steps back.
As he blocked the two strange people, Xie Lingyan's fist also carried a huge force and hit Li Qu.
Li Qu retracted his fist in his abdomen. His blood energy surged as he threw a punch without any fancy moves and directly collided with Xie Lingyan.
BOOM!
It was as if a wave of air was lifted, and dust scattered in all directions. The two of them took five steps back.
However, this time, Xie Lingyan's expression had already turned solemn. Just now, she had attacked with inertia, but in the end, she was on par with Li Qu. In terms of aura and strength, she was already inferior to him!
"Interesting, interesting! There's actually such a strong woman!" Li Qu's eyes lit up as he scanned Xie Lingyan from head to toe without restraint. His eyes were filled with undisguised possessiveness. "Little chick, my name is Li Qu. What's your name? Where did you come from?"
Xie Lingyan was unmoved. She took a deep breath and immediately attacked again.
"Don't move, she's mine!"
Li Qu smiled happily and strode forward to fight Xie Lingyan.
Lin Yan could tell how serious Xie Lingyan was. This Li Qu was much more powerful than the commander they had met in Qinghong Martial Arts School!
He glanced at the scattered houses around him, then at Eldest Senior Brother's house. Finally, his gaze landed on the strange person holding the mace in front of Eldest Senior Brother's house.
Behind his head, a strong wind pounced over. Lin Yan was already prepared. He bent down and an extremely heavy mountain-splitting axe slashed above his head.
After that, another incomparably mighty bronze hammer descended from above. He suddenly pulled the large iron hook, held it with both hands, and swung it fiercely from below to resist the bronze hammer.
"Two strange people are already extremely dangerous, let alone three strange people…"
A cold and ruthless expression appeared on his face. Relying on his speed, he punched at the soldiers guarding at the side. With two or three punches, he knocked down three soldiers and snatched the short knives in their hands.
"Seventeen, nineteen, kill him! The rest of you, retreat!"
Li Qu was the one who spoke and commanded. On one hand, he was fighting intensely with Xie Lingyan, but on the other hand, he could still divide his attention to observe the battlefield. It could be seen that he was clearly stronger than Xie Lingyan.
The soldiers immediately dispersed. Lin Yan still wanted to chase after them, but the two strange people had already surrounded him. Huge axes and bronze hammers struck his head.
Lin Yan barely dodged it. The huge axe and bronze hammer smashed into the ground with a loud bang. The ground cracked and mud splattered.
Under such a siege, forget about defending and counterattacking, even if he kept himself from being hit, he was already in danger.
No wonder Xie Lingyan said that she was not their match.
But he… wasn't Xie Lingyan!
The soldiers had already retreated far away. There were still a few people who quickly left the courtyard. It was obvious that they were going to report.
The giant axe slashed again, followed by the bronze hammer, swinging sideways at his back.
Lin Yan dodged and avoided the huge ax by a hair's breadth. However, when the bronze hammer swung at his back, his entire body tensed up. He grabbed the short knife with one hand and did not dodge.
Bang!
A huge force pierced through his back, accompanied by intense pain, causing Lin Yan to instantly suffocate. He felt that he was about to be smashed into two by this terrifying strike!
His internal organs had all been shifted, and every part of him was in pain. A large mouthful of blood surged from his throat, and he almost spat out the Poison Pearl in his mouth.
If not for the fact that his blood energy had transformed and his physique had been greatly enhanced, this strike would have smashed him into meat paste!
However, the extreme pain stimulated him even more. He held the short knife in his hand tightly and followed the strength of the bronze hammer to fly into the arms of the huge-axe strange man!
Puchi!
The short knife went into the abdomen. This time, it pierced into the front abdomen of the huge-axe strange man. He had originally aimed at the strange man's heart, but the strange man was very tall and big. His best place to exert force was his abdomen.
The strange man cried out and threw a punch.
Lin Yan blocked with his arms and was sent flying by the strange person. He fell to the ground and rolled a few times. There were sporadic drops of blood on the ground that he had accidentally spat out.
Xie Lingyan's expression changed drastically. She was almost caught by Li Qu.
"Mind your own business! Fight seriously!"
The next moment, Xie Lingyan relaxed in shock. Lin Yan got up from the ground as if nothing had happened. He patted the dust off his feet and even stretched his back.
When Li Qu saw this, his movements froze and his pupils constricted. His gaze froze and he was slightly shocked.
These strange people were named Giant Spirit Soldiers. They were secret weapons in the rebellion. He knew their strength best!
Every one of them had the strength of the Tough Realm!
Other than the fact that their figure was not agile enough, their strength was comparable to the Tough Realm!
Even if it was him, he would definitely be seriously injured after being hammered by Seventeen!
However, the punch strength and speed of the person in front of him were ordinary. At most, he was at the entry level of the Tough Realm, but he just endured Seventeen's head-on strike as if nothing had happened!
Could it be that he had cultivated some hard body martial art?
But what kind of hard body martial art could make someone take a beating like this!
Lin Yan used his tongue to push the small Poison Pearl to the side and spat out the remaining blood foam in his mouth. Without hesitation, he charged forward again!
The same routine, the same fighting style.
Lin Yan raised his hands to block the strange person's huge axe and avoided his vital points. He took the hammer head-on and stabbed the second short knife into the same spot in the strange person's lower abdomen. He punched at the same time and ruthlessly stabbed the knife that he had stabbed just now!
The strange person with the huge axe had been stabbed in the abdomen twice. His entire body was clearly weak. He could barely hold the huge axe in his hand. The force of the strike was soft and powerless.
Lin Yan dodged the axe and grabbed the opportunity to snatch the axe from his hand!
…..
Then, he turned around and slashed, knocking away the bronze hammer of the giant hammer man. Using the recoil of the rotation, he smashed the thick back of the giant axe over and directly smashed it into the heavily injured man who had lost his way.
Bang!
The back of the axe swung horizontally and hit the strange person's waist where it was heavily injured!
Puchi!
Blood seemed to have exploded, forming several torrents that shot out. The two short knives that had pierced his abdomen were forcefully bent and smashed into his left abdomen from the right abdominal cavity!
The giant axe man could not hold on anymore and fell to the ground in a panic. He twitched and looked confused.
"Nineteen! Damn it!" Li Qu's eyes turned cold. He used all his strength, and the pressure on Xie Lingyan doubled.
"Eighteen, you…"
Just as he was about to command the mace monster guarding the door, the courtyard door suddenly opened. The one-armed Zang Wei stepped out and stopped the mace monster.
His arm was bleeding and his face was pale. It was obvious that he was in an extremely bad state. However, with his Tough Realm foundation, the mace freak could not break through his blockade.
"Zang Wei!"
A trace of anxiety appeared in Li Qu's eyes. "It's useless! Zang Wei! What else do you want to do in your current state? My reinforcements are coming soon. You're just trapped beasts fighting!"
Zang Wei turned a deaf ear and only resisted the mace monster in front of him.
Li Qu was furious. He immediately shouted and attacked Xie Lingyan like a storm.
They were clearly both at the Tough Realm, but his fist seemed to have thousands of pounds of strength. The strength was shocking, and he completely ignored Xie Lingyan's stacked forces and suppressed her tightly. For a moment, Xie Lingyan was in danger.
Lin Yan took the time to glance into the courtyard and suddenly relaxed. Xiaozhi was indeed by Chen Yuan's side and was safe and sound!
Without the giant axe monster, and only the bronze hammer monster was left, so he had no pressure at all.
First, he dodged according to the usual and stabbed the short knife into the back of the strange man's waist. Then, he did not fight the strange man head-on. Instead, he circled the strange man and took advantage of the other party's interval to attack the place where the short knife stabbed!
He didn't attack anywhere else but his weaknesses!
The Bronze Hammer Man immediately swayed and his waist was covered in blood.
However, the situation on Xie Lingyan's side was gradually becoming critical. She was clearly not a match for the commander!
Lin Yan immediately abandoned the bronze hammer man and rushed towards Zang Wei. He shouted, "Go and help her!"
Zang Wei retreated and separated from the mace monster.
He looked deeply at Lin Yan. While his eyes were filled with shock, there was also a hint of realization and deep meaning.
This gaze made Lin Yan's heart skip a beat. Previously, when he fought Yu Qian, Eldest Senior Brother looked at him with this gaze.
At this moment, the situation was urgent, so Lin Yan didn't have the time to think too much. He stopped the mace man and attracted his firepower.
Although Zang Wei was not in a good state, his remaining arm seemed to have some powerful deterrence. As soon as he approached Li Qu, Li Qu restrained his movements and became cautious. The pressure on Xie Lingyan decreased greatly.
Lin Yan swept his gaze across the surrounding houses. After distracting the mace man and the heavily injured bronze hammer man, he was in no hurry to deal with them. He charged at the surrounding soldiers and began to kill!
For a moment, everyone was in a mess. The scene was chaotic.
On the second floor on the right, the window of a house suddenly exploded.
A round figure jumped down from the second floor nimbly and quickly passed through the chaotic crowd before charging straight into Zang Wei's house..
Chapter 82: Giant Spirit Soldiers and Conspiracy
Li Qu saw someone break into Zang Wei's courtyard from the corner of his eye and his heart tightened.
Logically speaking, in the current situation, even if someone entered, it would not change anything.
However, when he glanced at the strange man who had killed Nineteen in exchange for his own life and was now full of vigor, as if he was not injured at all, Li Qu's heart unconsciously palpitated.
He immediately shouted, "All soldiers, listen up! Charge into the courtyard and kill everyone. Leave no one alive!"
…..
Lin Yan's expression suddenly changed. His figure flashed as he raised the bronze axe he had snatched and sent the two soldiers who were charging faster flying.
Then, he raised his axe and blocked the courtyard door like a high wall.
"There's indeed something fishy!"
Li Qu unleashed his full strength, wanting to force Xie Lingyan and Zang Wei back.
However, Xie Lingyan also unleashed her full strength at the same time. Her skin was bloodshot like red jade. She knew that it was Pang Tong who had entered, so she did her best to stop Li Qu.
Although Zang Wei did not know, his reaction was extremely fast. He ignored his injuries and attacked together.
Li Qu was stopped by the two of them and could not move. He could only shout, "17,18, charge in!"
The two strange people and the remaining soldiers around roared with all their might and surged towards the small door wall that Lin Yan was guarding.
For a moment, saber lights, staff shadows, and fists came one after another, as if they were endless.
Lin Yan also became ruthless. He only avoided a few vital points and raised the huge axe he had snatched. He swung it left and right. This axe was bronze in color. It was incomparably huge and heavy. There was no need for any method. He casually swung it and it injured and killed anyone who touched it.
For a moment, short knives flew everywhere, and flesh and blood splattered everywhere. It was impossible to tell if they were his or someone else's.
After more than ten strikes, Lin Yan's hands suddenly trembled. Every part of his body was in pain, and he almost lost his grip on his huge axe.
He had suffered too many serious injuries in a short period of time. Even if Rejuvenation was incomparably magical, he could not completely recover for the time being, so it affected his movements.
Suddenly.
"Hero, thank you for your hard work!" "Die, you scum!"
Scorching shouts came from behind as figures pounced out. Yu Qian, Xu Hongchang, Chen Yuan, and Pang Tong rushed out.
There were also many people he did not know. The other disciples of the Dragon Gate Pavilion pounced forward and tried their best to block the surrounding soldiers. There were only two strange people left in front of Lin Yan, and the pressure immediately decreased.
He swung his huge axe with all his might and knocked away the mace that was swinging at him from behind.
Then, he let go of the axe and approached the other strange person. He endured the strange person's huge fist and punched the strange person's chest and abdomen with all his might. His punches were like a storm. Every punch could shatter a huge limestone, causing the strange person's waist and abdomen to protrude backward. Then, he flew up and kicked him hard to the ground.
The strange man fell to the ground. His entire abdomen was already completely mangled. After trying a few times, he finally could not get up.
Instead, after this moment, Lin Yan's body had already recovered. Other than the faint illusion of pain that was pulling his nerves, he was completely fine.
He hurriedly glanced over and fixed his gaze on Chen Yuan. At this moment, her figure was fluttering like a colorful sleeve, like a flowing breeze. She was doing her best to kill two Strength Realm soldiers.
The mace attacked again.
Lin Yan dodged the strange man's spiked club and picked up his huge axe again. He ruthlessly slashed the strange man's patella and sent him falling. Then, he flashed to Chen Yuan's side and snatched the short knives of the two soldiers opposite her before swinging his axe to send them flying.
At this moment, he could not be bothered to hide. He leaned close to Chen Yuan and said in a low voice, "Senior Sister Chen!"
Chen Yuan was originally surprised, but now that she heard the voice, her beautiful eyes widened like copper bells, and her beautiful face was filled with shock. "Lin…"
Lin Yan hurriedly interrupted, "I'm here. Go in quickly and protect Xiaozhi. If necessary, you must take Xiaozhi away!"
Chen Yuan's face was filled with disbelief as she walked into the room as if she was sleepwalking.
Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief. Xiaozhi was the most important. If not for the fact that the reinforcements from the Tiger Camp were about to arrive, he would have rushed in and brought Xiaozhi and Senior Sister Chen Yuan away from the battlefield.
Just as he was thinking this, at the end of the road, a commander in heavy iron armor flew over like a chariot. Behind him were two huge strange people, each holding a huge stone rod. Further away, there was a team of armored soldiers stepping on smoke and dust.
'They're here!'
Lin Yan licked his mouth with his tongue, only feeling the poisonous bead the size of a small marble. His entire body trembled slightly.
He raised his huge axe and flashed in front of the mace monster, dodging his attack. The axe struck his forearm, and the edge of the axe pierced into his forearm. The monster could not hold the mace and fell.
Lin Yan picked up the mace and swung it fiercely, drawing a fierce arc as he smashed it at the strange person's head from the bottom up!
This was already the fourth strange person he had fought. He had gradually figured out the flaws of these strange people. Not only were their figures inflexible, but their brains were also lacking.
Just like now, the best way was to roll down and dodge. However, the strange person was like a frightened ordinary person. He closed his eyes and raised his hands. With his instincts, he made a defensive posture to block the spiked club.
So, his front was defenseless. Lin Yan let go of the mace and swiped it from his waist. The two short knives he had just snatched were already in his hands. This time, he didn't miss anything and charged forward, stabbing fiercely into the strange person's heart!
Blood spurted out. Lin Yan gripped the hilt of his saber and spun it forcefully. There was a soft feeling of flesh being minced. Then, he retreated and blocked the courtyard door again. He looked straight at the heavy armored commander who had already run extremely close.
As for the strange man with the spiked club, he had already staggered and fallen. He lay on his side on the ground, bleeding profusely and motionless.
Li Qu's face was filled with shock and anger. This was already the third Giant Spirit Soldier to die at the hands of this masked man!
In the previous test, two Giant Spirit Soldiers could clearly defeat a Tough Realm cultivator!
But now, three of them had died in the hands of this clearly weak Tough Realm cultivator?
The newly arrived heavy-armored commander clearly did not expect the scene to be so tragic, especially when this Giant Spirit Soldier, whose strength was comparable to the Tough Realm, was actually killed by the masked man. It really made him feel apprehensive.
He looked at it and wanted to rush over to help Li Qu.
Li Qu shouted, "Chen Song! There's no need to help me. Lead your men and charge into this courtyard. Leave no one alive. Hurry!"
Chen Song shuddered. "Yes! Thirty-six, Thirty-seven, follow me!"
He immediately rushed towards Lin Yan to attack. The two strange people behind him followed closely behind.
Lin Yan took a deep breath. His skin trembled, and his entire body was burning. The poison produced by the Poison Pearl provided him with an endless supply of blood energy, filling his body with endless strength.
Next, it was nothing more than a life-and-death battle!
In the courtyard, the shock on Chen Yuan's beautiful face had yet to subside. When she returned to the martial arts hall, she frowned slightly and shouted coldly, "Wang Qingtong!"
However, he saw Xiaozhi hugging the wooden box. Her expression was timid, but her eyes were firm. Her small body was straight as she stood between Wang Qingtong and Du Fushan.
Wang Qingtong was holding a green porcelain bottle in his hand. His face was filled with impatience as he reached out, as if he wanted to push Xiaozhi.
Wang Qingtong was originally a combatant, but he used the excuse of protecting his master, Du Fushan, and stayed in the martial arts hall with the old, weak, women, and children around him.
Chen Yuan walked over quickly and pulled Xiaozhi behind her. She glared at Wang Qingtong with an unfriendly expression.
Wang Qingtong's pupils constricted. "Chen Yuan, you, why are you back!"
Chen Yuan felt that something was amiss. "What did you want to do just now?!"
Wang Qingtong barely suppressed his panic. "I was just giving the medicine to Master! Who knew that this little brat would suddenly go crazy and block me!" "Who knows what you're up to!" Chen Yuan frowned. She looked at the porcelain bottle in Wang Qingtong's hand and touched Xiaozhi's head. "Xiaozhi, is it true?"
Xiaozhi looked timid and hesitant. She didn't say anything for a while.
Behind him, Du Fushan was already sitting cross-legged.
Just now, after Pang Tong entered, he had already brought him the antidote. After eating it, he clearly felt that his strength was recovering quickly, but he still needed some time to completely recover.
Seeing that the two of them were at each other's throats, he tried to smooth things over. "Chen Yuan, Qingtong did want to offer his family's secret medicine to help me recover my blood energy. Then, this little girl stood in the middle."
…..
There was nothing wrong with what he said, but Chen Yuan was very angry with him. She stroked Xiaozhi's head. "Xiaozhi, you hate him just like me, right?"
Wang Qingtong pretended to be impatient. "You don't know what's good for you! Don't stop me from delivering medicine to Master!"
Wang Qingtong bypassed Chen Yuan and handed the medicine to Du Fushan.
Xiaozhi's expression became anxious. She hurriedly pulled Chen Yuan's sleeve and gestured for her to approach her. Then, she whispered in Chen Yuan's ear, "I saw his expression just now. It was very scary!"
Chen Yuan's beautiful eyes widened as many thoughts flashed through her mind. Wang Qingtong was unharmed along the way and did not go out. Especially, while Du Fushan clearly did not eat the food in the pavilion, he was poisoned…
Seeing that Du Fushan had already poured out a fragrant pill, Chen Yuan hurriedly shouted, "Master Du, you can't eat it!"
Du Fushan almost swallowed the pill. Upon hearing her words, he put it down.
"Chen Yuan!" Wang Qingtong's eyes were filled with shock and anger as he shouted, "What are you trying to do?! You're stopping my master from using medicine. What are your intentions?!"
Seeing his violent reaction, Chen Yuan's suspicion intensified. Her beautiful eyes were cold. "Wang Qingtong, I suspect that there's something wrong with your medicine."
A layer of undetectable panic appeared on Wang Qingtong's face, then it turned into anger. "What did you say! What nonsense are you talking about! What are you slandering me for!?
"You mean, I poisoned Master?
"This is my personal master! Do you think I'm a disciple who deceived and betrayed my master?!"
Seeing his hysteria, Chen Yuan sneered. "Why are you so agitated? Have you been exposed?
"Master Du, the people outside are fighting to the death. You're our most important hope.
I also have a secret medicine passed down in my family. It might not be comparable to the Wang family's, but it's not bad either. For the sake of safety, you might as well eat mine first."
Chen Yuan took out a palm-sized wooden box and opened it. There was a gray pill inside.
Du Fushan nodded. "Alright." "Master!" Wang Qingtong looked incredulous. "Master, do you think I'll harm you too? You'd rather believe her than me!"
Du Fushan's eyes flickered slightly as he shook his head helplessly. "Qingtong, I naturally believe you. However, it's indeed strange that I was poisoned this time. I can't say for sure if your pills have been switched. Safety first."
Wang Qingtong's expression changed. In the end, he bowed and said, "Master, you're right."
He bent down and in a place where they could not see, the cold light in Wang Qingtong's eyes suddenly increased. He slowly reached into his pocket. There was a hidden weapon tube called the Storm Plum Needle.
It was originally a self-defense item given to him by his family.
But now, the situation was critical. Who would have thought that there would be two unfamiliar and powerful reinforcements!
Who would have thought that Pang Tong could bring the antidote!
So…
Killing intent surged in Wang Qingtong's eyes.. Master, Master, I can only repay your teachings in my next life!
Chapter 83: Victory and Pursuit (1)
Suddenly, a powerful hand firmly pressed down on Wang Qingtong's hand that was about to take out the Storm Plum Needle.
Wang Qingtong looked up in shock and saw his master, Du Fushan, looking down at him from the shadows.
"M-Master…!"
"I didn't expect it to really be you…"
A thick layer of sorrow appeared between Du Fushan's brows. "It's actually because of my disciple that the entire Dragon Gate Pavilion encountered such a disaster…"
"Master, let me explain! Master, I…"
Bam!
…..
A punch landed on Wang Qingtong's abdomen, as if it was going to pierce through his intestines and stomach, suffocating all his voice.
"Evil creature! You deserve to die!"
Du Fushan shouted angrily with a ferocious expression. He picked up Wang Qingtong and slashed his hand mercilessly at the spine of Wang Qingtong's back.
There was a crisp cracking sound.
Wang Qingtong was terrified. He felt his lower body go limp and he could not move. "I, you, you crippled me! How dare you cripple me!"
Du Fushan reached out again and crushed both his shoulders, paralyzing him and throwing him to the ground.
Only then did he take a deep breath. "Chen Yuan, I've already recovered. I'll go and help them. I'll leave Wang Qingtong to you. Ask him who's behind this and harming the Dragon Gate Pavilion!"
"Okay."
"How dare you! I'm the son of the Wang family. How dare you!!!"
Wang Qingtong howled hysterically. He was completely destroyed!
However, no one sympathized with him. Du Fushan took out the Storm Plum Needle from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yuan to use before rushing out.
Chen Yuan looked at the hysterical Wang Qingtong on the ground and felt a lingering fear in her heart. She stroked Xiaozhi's head. "Xiaozhi, you're awesome! If it weren't for you, we would be in big trouble!"
Xiaozhi forced a smile, her small face filled with worry.
Chen Yuan patted her head. "It's okay. Your brother is very good. You'll be able to see him soon!"
"Really?!" Xiaozhi's face suddenly lit up.
Lin Yan tried his best to force the two new strange people back with the bronze axe, but he still couldn't resist Commander Chen Song's attack.
A heavy punch that could split a stone struck Lin Yan's chest. Lin Yan's throat rolled as he spat out a mouthful of blood from an abnormally far distance, spraying Chen Song's face.
Chen Song did not give up. He only tilted his head slightly and let the blood splash on his face. He punched him several times.
Lin Yan spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood, dyeing half of Chen Song's face red.
There was nothing impressive about this fellow!
Chen Song heaved a sigh of relief. After receiving such a dense blow from him, even if he was at the Tough Realm, his internal organs would have long been shattered. He would definitely die!
That seemed to be the case. Lin Yan was sent flying by the heavy punch and fell into the courtyard. He fell to the ground and did not move.
Chen Song exhaled and waved. "Thirty-six, Thirty-seven, come with me and attack the house!"
The two strange people slowly walked forward with rods and followed behind Chen Song. The three of them quickly advanced, ignoring Lin Yan, who had fallen to the ground.
They had just passed through Lin Yan's "corpse" and was about to rush into the house.
A Giant Spirit Soldier's strange cry suddenly sounded behind him.
Chen Song turned his head. "What!"
He was suddenly shocked. He saw that Lin Yan, who should have been on his last breath, was actually jumping around energetically. He took out a short knife from somewhere and launched a sneak attack from behind, stabbing into Thirty-Six's heart!
"Impossible!"
After suffering such serious injuries, it was already unbelievable that he did not die, let alone stand up!
However, this was the truth. After Lin Yan inserted the saber, he even twisted it 180 degrees. Then, he punched out and hit the hilt of the short saber, sending it deep into the Giant Spirit Soldier's body.
"F*ck! Damn it!"
Chen Song was furious. He immediately turned around and wanted to attack Lin Yan.
Suddenly, he felt a heart-piercing pain on his face and chest. Then, the area quickly expanded. Most of his body felt that something was wrong and he could not help but reach out to scratch it.
His eyes were filled with extreme shock. "This feeling… I'm poisoned!"
He hurriedly circulated his blood energy to expel the poison. However, this inexplicable poison was extremely powerful, like a parasite attached to bones!
Even though he was at the Tough Realm, he could not expel it quickly. Instead, the symptoms gradually worsened!
F*ck!
When did he get poisoned!
He had never come into contact with any source of poison!
"Hero, let me help you!"
Behind him, a voice suddenly sounded. A sharp wind and waves rushed towards Chen Song's back at an extremely fast speed.
Chen Song was shocked. This strength was clearly at the Tough Realm!
F*ck!
How could there be another Tough Realm cultivator in this courtyard!
He wanted to turn around and stop it, but the poison that erupted in his body made his body suddenly ache and numb. He could not exert his strength smoothly for a moment, and even his body froze for a moment.
The unparalleled punch hit his back directly. Immediately, a huge force pierced through his armor and sent him flying. If not for the armor protecting him, this punch would have broken his back!
Du Fushan, who had punched him, was slightly taken aback.
This guy was clearly at the Tough Realm too. How did he hit him so easily?
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have aimed at his back with this punch. He would have hit the man's head directly!
Lin Yan knocked down a strange person. When he saw Du Fushan come out, he nodded at him. "I'll leave the remaining two to you!"
Du Fushan laughed heroically. "Hero, don't worry! Even if I have to risk my life, I will stop these two!"
Lin Yan nodded and turned around to leave, coming out of the courtyard again.
Li Qu was originally calm. He waited for Chen Song and the others to finish killing everyone in the courtyard before coming out to help him..
Chapter 84: Victory and Pursuit (2)
However, when he saw that it was not Chen Song and the others who went out, but the strange masked man, his expression changed drastically. "Chen Song! Chen Song!"
From his angle, he could not see the situation in the courtyard. He could only hear the sound of intense fighting in the courtyard, but the masked man had clearly come out!
Who were Chen Song and the others fighting with!
Lin Yan glanced at him and ignored him for the time being.
He directly rushed up and started fighting with the soldiers who were fighting with the disciples of Dragon Gate Pavilion!
These soldiers were too weak for him, but they were not inferior to the disciples of the Dragon Gate Pavilion. Therefore, there were already several corpses of the disciples of the Dragon Gate Pavilion lying on the ground. The others were also in danger.
There was blood at the corner of Yu Qian's mouth. Her face was pale, but her expression was determined.
…..
Her delicate body was covered in blood at this moment. She did not expect that for some reason, she would really raise her spirit and fight to the death here!
She had clearly come to Dragon Gate Pavilion to find a husband she liked!
How did it really become a battle to the death?
Her mind raced, but her hand was not slow. He used the Dragon-Shaped Fist and blocked the short knife that a soldier slashed at him. Like a swimming dragon entering the sea, he punched his chest.
However, at the same time, a strong wind suddenly came from behind her ear and slashed at her when she was exhausted.
Yu Qian's expression changed drastically. It was over!
She was going to die!
As the blade approached, Yu Qian's expression was bitter. Damn it, she couldn't even find a good husband…
Bang!
With a crisp sound, the sharpness of the knife suddenly dissipated. A broken blade pulled out a parabola and spun above her head before landing in front of her.
Only then did she turn around. She saw that the masked Tough Realm expert had shattered the short knife with a punch. Then, he had kicked the soldier who had launched a sneak attack dozens of feet away.
"Phew! I'm saved!"
Yu Qian heaved a huge sigh of relief. Her entire body felt numb, and she almost couldn't stand.
The mysterious expert in the mask was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. With a casual punch and kick, he killed and crippled all the soldiers.
"Tough Realm. Is this the strength of the Tough Realm?!"
Yu Qian's eyes lit up. She suddenly felt that Wang Qingtong and Mi Tai were not good husbands.
Their status and talent were not worth mentioning compared to the strength that could be seen with the naked eye!
With Lin Yan's participation, the surrounding soldiers were unable to withstand a single blow and were quickly killed.
Lin Yan quickly moved to the side wall of Zang Wei's house and punched it twice, opening a huge hole in the wall.
He looked inside and saw that Xiaozhi and Chen Yuan were safe and sound. He completely relaxed.
He turned around and said to the injured disciples, "You! Bring the family members in the house to Wei Yard and meet up with the other disciples!"
When the remaining ten or so disciples who were covered in injuries heard this, they agreed one after another. They picked up the people in the house from the gap and escorted them to Wei Yard.
Lin Yan turned around and rushed towards the battlefield of Xie Lingyan, Zang Wei, and Li Qu.
Li Qu's strength was extremely powerful. He was clearly at the same level as his enemies, but he was actually on par with two people.
However, his expression was extremely ugly.
Chen Song was inside, his fate unknown!
There were also six Giant Spirit Soldiers. Now, none of them were standing!
He still had to fight three enemies!
It was clear that his side had the absolute advantage!
The reason was all because of this mysterious masked man!
After suffering such a serious injury, he actually acted as if nothing had happened!
He was simply a monster!
A cold light shot out of his eyes. It was not good to stay here for long. He was not a match for three!
Just as this thought appeared in his heart, Li Qu's expression suddenly changed drastically.
Beside him, Zang Wei had one arm crossed in front of his chest. He took one step, lowered his center of gravity, and assumed an extremely relaxed posture. The blood energy in his entire body suddenly boiled, and his skin was filled with blood. However, in the next moment, the blood color faded cleanly and gathered in his legs and one arm. He actually stepped on the ground, creating two small pits.
His legs, in particular, had expanded a full circle, filling his pants!
"Zang Wei!"
Li Qu's expression was solemn. It was this move again!
Previously, he had been caught off guard and was struck in the chest by Zang Wei's move. Its characteristic was speed!
It was too fast!
But now, I'm prepared. Do you still want to…
Before his thoughts could settle, a surging aura rose in front of him again.
Li Qu's pupils suddenly constricted. He saw Xie Lingyan raise one hand high and horizontally with the other. Her two green jade arms were like bloodshot red jade, emitting an extremely powerful aura.
"Good, good! Two ultimate killing moves! Do you think you're the only ones with ultimate killing moves?! Come!"
Li Qu no longer held back. He activated the blood energy in his entire body to boil like a hundred rivers returning to the sea and fused into his two fists. Unknowingly, a violent wind seemed to gather and circulate on his fists. Its might was extremely terrifying.
The three of them took out their trump cards, but for a short period of time, they paused.
The scene was like the calm before the storm, or the last second before the boiling of hot oil. Just a little spark and it would immediately erupt with raging flames!
Lin Yan was this spark!
He picked up a short knife and threw it with all his might at Li Qu's head!
In an instant, Xie Lingyan's beautiful eyes lit up. She shouted in her heart, Eight Arms Vanquishing Demon!
One punch was divided into eight punches. The eight punches combined and attacked Li Qu's head!
Her punch formed a triangle with Lin Yan's short knife and Zang Wei. No matter which Li Qu dodged, he would definitely face the fatal attacks of the other two sides!
However, Li Qu did not dodge. First, he tilted his head and used his face to smash fiercely at the blade of the short knife, knocking it away!
Even with the Tough Force protecting his body, his face was still weak. A deep wound immediately appeared on his face.
However, a ruthless expression appeared on his face. His arms suddenly trembled, like a gear that was stirred before exerting strength. His pair of incomparably powerful fists suddenly struck out and he shouted, "Thousand Pound Break!"
It was fighting with Xie Lingyan's Eight Arms Vanquishing Demon!
Like a speeding chariot colliding, a visible wave of air shot out from their fists.
In the next moment, Xie Lingyan's beautiful face revealed a trace of pain. Her silk sleeves suddenly cracked, and several deep wounds the length of her palm instantly opened on the skin of her arm. She subconsciously retreated.
However, Li Qu could not chase after her. A sharp wind had already rushed over from behind!
"Zang Wei, I've been waiting for you!"
Li Qu smiled sinisterly and twisted his waist. His body was like a spiral as he repelled Xie Lingyan's punch. His arm swung up from the bottom like a sharp axe and smashed behind him!
This was the method he had thought of long ago.
Zang Wei's ultimate killing move was like a javelin that flew out. His fist was at the front, and his body was behind.
And from his angle, if he punched down ruthlessly, he could smash Zang Wei's head and smash him to the ground before he was hit!
This was called attacking in place of defense!
However, the moment he turned around and smashed down, his expression changed drastically. The person who came was not Zang Wei!
At some point, Lin Yan had actually reached behind him. Seeing him smash down, he immediately crossed his arms to block.
However, Li Qu's punch was too strong, like a thousand catties of force. Lin Yan's arms immediately creaked and he couldn't block it at all. The attack smashed down and landed on his right shoulder.
With a crisp cracking sound, his shoulder and arm bones were all broken. His entire right shoulder seemed to have collapsed and he could not help but collapse.
Pffft!
Lin Yan spat out another mouthful of blood. This time, he spat it on his enemy's face again.
Li Qu did not dodge and was sprayed. However, he did not care anymore. The hair on his body stood on end. He was extremely shocked. Zang Wei's fist was here!
…..
It was as if a breeze had blown past, or a dragon's shadow. It was too fast!
It was so fast that Lin Yan, Li Qu, and Xie Lingyan could not react!
A blurry figure and a light fist suddenly appeared without any warning and landed on Li Qu's left chest, where it had originally sunken.
Then, like crushing dry weeds, it directly broke through Li Qu's iron armor and dented it deeply again!
Blood instantly splattered. Li Qu was like a sack that had been broken by a hammer. He was instantly sent flying. There was a huge dent in his chest, and a small camel bump protruded from his entire back.
With such injuries and a shattered heart, he would definitely not survive!
Zang Wei thought to himself.
This move of his hurt the enemy almost as badly as it hurt himself. His arm also collapsed, and his entire body trembled non-stop.
However, the strange thing was that when Li Qu fell to the ground, he actually jumped up!
He was still alive!
Without looking back, he fled as if he was flying.
"Impossible!"
This time, it was Lin Yan and Xie Lingyan's turn to be dumbfounded.
Lin Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and his reaction was abnormally fast. He strode out and chased after him.. "I'll chase after them! Help Du Fushan inside!"
Chapter 85: Mystery of the Spirit Marrow
This person's heart had been shattered, but he could still walk as if he was alive?
It couldn't be that his heart was on the right and not the left, right?
However, Lin Yan was eager to catch up to him not because he was strangely not dead.
Instead, the moment Lin Yan approached him, the Golden Bodhi Scripture in his mind trembled slightly, reminding him that there was something the Nine Wisdom Bodhi needed nearby!
It was obvious that there was something similar to Spirit Marrow on this commander.
Therefore, he chased after him and left the others' sight so that he could remove his disguise and change back to Lin Yan. Although it was very likely that Eldest Senior Brother had already discovered his identity…
He chased the man all the way from Instruction Yard to Dragon Yard.
…..
Suddenly, Li Qu, who was running in front, trembled violently. Then, he staggered uncontrollably and fell out. He rolled twice on the ground and lay on the ground.
Lin Yan was not surprised. He chased carefully to his side and saw that his body was twitching uncontrollably.
Other than his chest that was bleeding non-stop, he was also vomiting foul poisonous blood in large mouthfuls.
He let out a faint roar. "Poison, poison…
At that time, the mouthful of blood that Lin Yan spat on his face had completely dissolved the poison of the Poison Pearl. It was much more poisonous than the blood that he spat on the other armored commander's face.
This person smashed his face against the saber and created a deep wound. Poisonous blood seeped out.
In addition, he was severely injured and could not use his blood energy to detoxify himself, so he fell immediately.
Lin Yan rolled his tongue. The Poison Pearl in his mouth had already melted.
Without a knife beside him, Lin Yan raised his foot and stomped fiercely on the commander's neck.
It caused a huge pit to appear on the ground behind him. His neck was completely concave into a sharp angle. Only then did he loosen his feet and squat down to quickly search up and down.
However, after taking off all his armor and clothes, other than two bottles of Heart Severing Pills, there was nothing else. There was not even silver.
Lin Yan put away the Heart Severing Pill and frowned slightly. The Golden Bodhi Scripture was still constantly reminding him that there was an external spiritual substance nearby.
It couldn't be in his body, right?
Lin Yan reached out and quickly checked his entire body.
"Huh?"
When he approached the man's chest, the trembling of the Golden Bodhi Scripture increased slightly.
"It's really in his body!"
Lin Yan's gaze focused on the depression in this person's chest.
There were many iron armor fragments embedded there, and the body was badly mutilated, making it impossible to see clearly.
Lin Yan frowned and reached in to push the fragments away. When he moved the iron armor fragments away and looked down, Lin Yan suddenly held his breath.
Under the fragments, in the midst of blood, a heart that had shattered into a few pieces was scattered in his chest like a withered gray fruit.
"Therefore, his heart didn't grow on the right side and was really broken. However…"
Lin Yan's scalp tingled slightly as a strange chill crawled up his spine.
Between the broken pieces of the heart, there were actually countless translucent mucus like silk intertwined and strung together!
It was as if in a movie that Lin Yan had seen in his previous life, where the Spider-man used spider silk to glue the cracked hull together.
However, the threads in the man's chest were much more disgusting than spider silk. They were sticky and slippery, similar to egg white and tree sap. It was like some strange secretion or glue that connected the heart together.
"Is this still a human organ?"
Lin Yan's gaze converged as he reached into it. Enduring the sticky and disgusting juice, he fumbled around and quickly touched something that was as hard as bone.
He grabbed it with both hands and pulled it out. He pulled out a piece of bone that looked like a Spirit Marrow, mixed with a piece of heart.
This Spirit Marrow was larger than the one he had before. Its luster was much more exquisite, and it was covered in golden patterns like leaves.
Now, Lin Yan could already tell that this was not a pattern, but a strange golden thread that could grow out of the Spirit Marrow.
They seemed to be alive as they grew densely from the Spirit Marrow. They were like sharp tentacles that pierced deeply into the flesh of the heart. They seemed to be squirming and connecting the Spirit Marrow to the heart.
"What exactly is Spirit Marrow?! Could it be that Spirit Marrow is produced from a human body?!"
At this moment, Lin Yan felt the same as when he saw the magical scene of the Netherworld River in the underground black market. A deep strange feeling made him feel extremely divided.
No matter how one looked at it, this Spirit Marrow was incompatible with the simple and monotonous ancient world around it!
As the heart left his body, the golden threads that had pierced into the heart slowly dimmed, withered, and broke.
Around the Spirit Marrow, the meat that was originally closely connected to it fell down. Not long after, only a snow-white and flawless Spirit Marrow was quietly pinched at Lin Yan's fingertip.
Lin Yan took a deep breath. Who cares!
He directly activated the Golden Bodhi Scripture.
In the next moment, the golden patterns on the Spirit Marrow in his hand lit up and slowly dimmed. An invisible substance was extracted and absorbed by the Golden Bodhi Scripture again.
The Spirit Marrow in his hand also turned into wrinkled and dry tree bark.
He opened the Golden Bodhi Scripture.
On the Nine Wisdom Bodhi, another aperture had been accumulated among the nine apertures. Moreover, more than half of the entire Nine Wisdom Bodhi had accumulated a golden halo. He estimated that as long as he accumulated a little more, he would be able to accumulate another aperture and gain the Three Wisdom Bodhi.
After putting away the withered Spirit Marrow again, Lin Yan quickly turned around and left.
In Dragon Yard, a lone wooden house that was temporarily uninhabited.
Mi Tai gently pushed open the door and tried his best to distinguish the voices around him.
The terrifying sounds of fighting just now had gradually stopped.
It seemed that the battle had stopped. No one knew who was alive or who was dead.
Recalling the scene just now, Mi Tai still had lingering fear.
A Tough Realm expert!
Strange giants!
There were also those elite soldiers. Every one of them was on par with him.
Those people had poison and sent troops. They had schemed well.
From the looks of it, they were clearly determined to take down Dragon Gate Pavilion!
Therefore, Dragon Gate Pavilion probably could not stop it.
At this thought, he immediately hid.
He had not been in Dragon Gate Pavilion for long, and he had only acknowledged a master for less than a month.
Why would he risk his life for a mere Dragon Gate Pavilion?
Besides, a powerful genius like him would be someone else's guest no matter where he went.
It was a pity to die here!
Therefore, even if he was not poisoned, he secretly hid in this single wooden house and was careful to avoid this calamity.
But now, his stomach was rumbling with hunger. He couldn't take it anymore, so he prepared to go out and find something to fill his stomach.
There was silence outside the door. Mi Tai pushed open the door. The wooden house he was in was uninhabited.
However, there were a few buildings around that were occupied, especially the third building on the left. He had specially asked around and found out that it was Chen Yuan's house!
Chen Yuan was beautiful and came from a prominent family. She was like a fairy. Just imagining her soft body made Mi Tai's heart flutter.
However, he did not know if she was dead or alive. Even if she was alive, with her beauty, she would probably be even more terrified than dead.
At the thought of Chen Yuan's room, even her boudoir, and other private places, Mi Tai's heart burned. It was as if he could smell a faint fragrance.
Unknowingly, he arrived outside Chen Yuan's house. The door opened, and he barged in without hesitation.
"Oh? There's someone here!
As soon as he pushed the door open and entered, his expression froze.
In the middle of the courtyard stood a person.
That person turned around, and Mi Tai's breathing quickened. "Lin Yan!"
…..
Lin Yan was also quite shocked by his sudden entry.
His previous clothes were tattered and stained with blood. He found Chen Yuan's room and did a simple cleaning.
As for why Chen Yuan had his clothes…
It could only be said that sometimes, Chen Yuan asked too many questions and would ask until night time, so she kept him here to rest.
Unexpectedly, just as he was done cleaning and was about to rush to Xiaozhi's place, Mi Tai pushed the door open and entered.
"What are you doing here!"
Mi Tai narrowed his eyes, his face filled with embarrassment and dangerous killing intent.
Lin Yan lowered his eyes slightly and slowly swept his gaze across him.
Mi Tai's expression flickered, and his expression was rather ugly. He didn't expect to bump into Lin Yan!
Wouldn't that make Lin Yan realize that he was hiding?
Although he was protecting himself, others would not think that way!
Especially Lin Yan. He would definitely seize the opportunity to badmouth him everywhere, such as being afraid of death and sneaking into his senior sister's room…
Although this was not the truth, it was easy for others to believe it!
In that case, his reputation would be ruined!
At the thought of this, Mi Tai's eyes turned cold. There was no one here, and Lin Yan had a grudge against him to begin with. He might as well go all out…
At the thought of this, Mi Tai subconsciously revealed a smug smile. He clenched his fists and walked towards Lin Yan step by step. "Lin Yan, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself. You're despicable and shameless for plotting to harm me. In this world, it's not a big deal to have another piece of trash like you. It's not a big deal to have one less piece of trash. A genius like me is rare, so…"
Lin Yan:"…
"So, go to hell!"
Mi Tai suddenly sped up and punched Lin Yan's head like a swimming dragon!
This move was at the peak of the timing and was filled with killing intent. It was simply the best attack Mi Tai had ever used since he started practicing martial arts!
He was both happy and pleasantly surprised. When he returned later, he would comprehend it well. He would definitely be able to advance the Dragon-Shaped Fist to another level…
Just as his thoughts reached this point, Lin Yan suddenly flashed in front of him.
Mi Tai felt an iron-like palm grab his neck and lift him up as if the man was holding a white goose.
"You…"
Mi Tai's eyes were instantly filled with shock. However, the palm on his neck instantly clenched tightly, crushing his throat and cervical vertebrae like dough.
Mi Tai's neck drooped to the left and he instantly stopped breathing.
"You're thinking the same thing as me…"
Lin Yan carried Mi Tai's corpse and walked out quickly. Along the way, he casually threw it by the roadside and went straight to Wei Yard..
