Lin Yan’s words were like a steel knife, deeply cutting into Heyang xinci’s self-esteem.
If the person who said this was an arrogant and ignorant second-rate figure in the pugilistic world, Heyang Shinji would not have cared.
But … These words were harsh when they came out of Lin Yan’s mouth.
Because everyone who heard her say that would involuntarily agree with Yingluo’s words.
“Hmph …” Two seconds later, Heyang xinci snorted with a fake smile and said,”I don’t know about the King of Hell or whatever. In short, if you are also a member of the martial arts world of the Central Plains, then you’d better listen to it … From today on …”
Heyang Shinji had wanted to tell Lin Yan about his plan to unify the Central Plains ‘martial arts world, but he did not expect …
“Little girl, who did you learn your martial arts from?” Lin Yan completely ignored him. After saying “you?”, Lin Yan let go of the White Horse’s reins and took a few steps forward. She came up to Feng Meiyu and asked her a question.
“I …” Feng Meiyu was also taken aback by the question. After all, Lin Yan looked much younger than her, and she was a little surprised to hear Lin Yan call her “little girl” in the tone of an elder.”…I learned it from a secret manual.”
“I see …” Lin Yan nodded slightly,”if I’m not wrong … You must have practiced a few low-tier inner Qi cultivation methods based on your own conjectures without any martial arts Foundation … As a result, your meridians, Qi, and blood are in a mess, and your body is in trouble.”
“You …” Feng Meiyu’s expression changed when she heard this because what the other party had said was completely correct.”…Senior!” The next second, Feng Meiyu changed the way she addressed Lin Yan.”Could it be that senior has a way to cure me?”
“There is.”
When Lin Yan said these two words, Feng Meiyu’s face revealed an unconcealed surprise. She was about to ask for help again, but Lin Yan’s right hand had already pressed on her head.
When she was still the king of Hell, Lin Yan’s martial arts had already reached the celestial realm. Now, she was using methods that ordinary people could not understand.
Right now, her palm strike was very slow, very light, and could even be described as gentle. However, it was precisely this palm strike that made everyone around have the thought that “if it were me, I would definitely not be able to avoid this move.”
“Uh, hehehe, hehe.”
A few seconds later, Feng Meiyu’s expression suddenly turned pained as she screamed in pain.
Under the force of Lin Yan’s palm, Feng Meiyu knelt on the ground without any resistance. Then, greasy blood began to ooze out of her pores …
The amount of filth was unbelievable, and it was like a ball of mud that had been squeezed out of her body as it gushed out of Feng Meiyu’s clothes in a sticky manner. The dent that Feng bujue had created with the positron cannon had become the ‘ditch’ that contained the dirt.
After a while, Lin Yan stopped without panting and stood up,””This is the ‘method’ you wanted …” To her, there was no need to explain too much about such a simple matter. She just did it directly.”I’ve already sorted out your meridians, Qi, and blood. From now on, you’ll be fine as long as you don’t follow that strange self-comprehended method of circulating your energy.”
As she said this, Feng Meiyu, who was covered in blood, was kneeling on the ground and gasping for breath. At this moment, Feng Meiyu’s appearance had undergone a shocking change … She had gone from the sickly fat cult leader Bai Mei back to the graceful and beautiful Feng ‘er from before.
“Senior!” Feng ‘er, who had regained her original appearance, looked at Lin Yan excitedly.”I will never forget senior’s great kindness!” The way she addressed herself had also changed.”As long as senior says the word, I’ll even be your slave …”
“I have a horse.” Lin Yan interrupted Feng ‘er with a nonchalant look,”you can’t be a slave with your body. You’d better be a good person.”
Feng ‘er didn’t know what else to say, and tears couldn’t stop falling from her eyes. She grabbed her dirty, sticky, and obviously oversized clothes and slowly stood up. Although it was uncomfortable to have the clothes wrapped around her body, if she didn’t hold onto it, the clothes would fall off like the bedsheets.
“Hey! Woman, I’m not done yet!” When Feng ‘er stood up, he Yangxin spoke again and said to Lin Yan,”you listen to me…From today onwards …”
“Master Feng, I haven’t seen you for many years. You haven’t changed much.” However, Lin Yan ignored he yang again and continued walking forward. She said to brother Jue,”but … You seem to have run into some trouble.”
At that moment, at brother Jue’s request, Cheng Yong had already let him go. Wang Qiong, Cheng Wei, and Heyang Jingzi, who had been hiding in the dark, had also arrived near brother Jue.
“Hehe … It’s alright,” Feng bujue smiled.”Since you’re here, I don’t have any more trouble.”
“You’re so sure that I’ll help?” Lin Yan’s eyes flashed with a hint of ridicule.
“What do you think?” Feng bujue’s smile was still on his face as he retorted.
After a short silence, Lin Yan also smiled.
This smile was truly devastatingly beautiful, as sweet as a dream. It was as if it could even melt the world’s cruelest heart.
Lin Yan had not smiled like this for many years. She could not remember when was the last time she had smiled from the bottom of her heart.
All these years, although she had given up her identity as the King of Hell, she was still unable to live like an ordinary person.
Without a goal and burden, she was free, but also lonely.
No one in this world knew her, and she didn’t want to get to know those stupid people who were still rolling around in the world of mortals.
Compared to humans, she preferred to deal with this world, with this heaven and earth …
Therefore, she would go to many places every year to see different sceneries.
She would go to the snow Mountain to look for plum blossoms in winter, go for a walk outside the pass in early spring, travel overseas in Midsummer, and go to the burial heart Valley to enjoy the cherry blossoms in late autumn …
Lin Yan’s current cultivation had long surpassed Cao Qin’s in the past. Other than a head of white hair, even time could not leave any trace on her body.
At this moment, Lin Yan was more like an “immortal” than a human.
The troubles of the mortal world were meaningless to her. After a hundred years old … She no longer counted her own age.
For such a person, what else in this world could touch her?
Without a doubt … It could only be an “old friend.”
Even if Feng bujue was Lin Yan’s enemy, Lin Yan would still save him, let alone the fact that Feng bujue was her Savior …
When all the people in your memory are erased and everything in the world is changed, you will realize how precious memories are.
This kind of subtle feeling could only be experienced by those who had lived for a long time.
“Bastard! I’m talking to you!” Just as Lin Yan smiled, Heyang Shinji finally exploded …
It was one thing to be looked down upon after calling himself the ‘sword God’, but he was also ignored twice in a row. This was a great humiliation that Heyang Shinji had never experienced.
He did not care about the conversation between Lin Yan and brother Jue. He picked up his blunt sword and attacked from behind, aiming for Lin Yan’s head.
“How annoying …” Lin Yan mumbled impatiently. Then, she turned around and raised her hand. In a seemingly unhurried movement, she used three fingers of her left hand to easily pinch the blade of the blunt sword that was coming at her.
Heyang xinti’s face twitched when he saw her nonchalant action.
Unwilling to believe it, he exerted more force and tried to press the blunt sword down. However, even with 120% of his strength, the blade held by Lin Yan did not move at all.
“Sneak attacking from behind, is this also something that the ‘God of swords’ does?” When Lin Yan looked at Heyang xinci, the smile on her face had disappeared and was replaced by a look of disdain.
“To be able to defeat all the heroes in the world with the sword in my hand … Of course I’m a sword God!” He yang xinci did not back down. He had his own set of theories.”Only you central Plainsmen who fish for fame will be entangled in fallacies such as ‘sneak attacks from the back and an unfair victory’… According to you, if the weapons used by both sides in a duel are of different quality, is it also an unfair victory? The two of them are of different ages and have practiced martial arts for different years … Is this considered unfair?”
“Do you really think so …” Lin Yan muttered,”hmm … That’s good too.” She paused for a moment.”At least after I beat you, people won’t say that I ‘m’ bullying the weak ‘.”
Her words made Heyang Shinji a little dumbfounded again.
He Yang’s martial Dao was the Dao of strength, which pursued killing and victory. As for killing and victory, they were ‘stubborness’ that only people in the secular world would have.
This kind of “persistence” was exactly the threshold that blocked the road of “entering the path with martial arts.” Therefore, he Yang Xin would not be able to walk the path of Dao. He would not understand why this young-looking woman in front of him would call herself a ‘senior’.
“Then … According to your theory …” After a while, Lin Yan let go of his opponent’s sword and continued,”as long as you lose to my sword today, it will prove that … I am the real sword God, right?”
Heyang Shinji withdrew his sword and took a few steps back. He stood at a distance where he was most confident in the duel.”Winner takes all … If you can really beat me, it’s only natural for you to be called ‘sword God’.” He paused for half a second and looked at Lin Yan.”But … Where is your ‘sword’?” He sized her up from head to toe. Lin Yan did not look like she was hiding a sword.”Could it be … You’re using the soft sword that was hidden in your belt?”
Hearing this, Lin Yan’s face was full of disdain. She slowly put her hands behind her back and stood proudly. She gave a strange response.”Where is your sword?”
This seemingly simple question actually made Heyang Shinji’s body tremble.
He did have a sword in his hand, but that didn’t mean anything.
The realm of ‘sword in hand’ and the realm of ‘sword in the heart’ were worlds apart.
Heyang Shinji was well aware of this, because…He had also reached the state of ‘no sword in hand, but a sword in heart’.
If not for that, he would not have used this long, blunt sword that had no opening or scabbard as a weapon.
“Hmph …” After thinking for a few seconds, Heyang Shinji clenched his left fist and lightly knocked on his chest.”My sword … Is here.”
“Oh …” Lin Yan replied lazily,”then my sword is with you too.”
“What … Did you just say?” This time, he Yangxin really did not understand.
“Whether it’s the sword in your hand or the sword in your heart …” Lin Yan continued,”you think that it’s yours, but in fact … It’s not.”
“Do you think that it’s yours?” Heyang Shinji felt that the other party was deliberately mystifying things, so he retorted in a tough tone.
“Sigh …” Lin Yan sighed.”You won’t understand even if I tell you …” Her face was filled with compassion.”Make your move. You’ll understand when you lose.”
“Don’t worry …” Heyang Shinji was not convinced either. He immediately got into a fighting stance.”Even if you don’t say it, I’ll pay …”
Before he could finish his words, his entire body shot forward like a shooting star.
Heyang Shinji had obviously done it on purpose … The last part of his sentence was just a way to make the other party lower his guard. Under such circumstances, people would subconsciously think that the other party would finish his sentence before making a move. However, he yang had attacked them when he was halfway through his sentence.
Although this method wasn’t complicated, it was indeed very effective. In the past, many top-tier experts from Japan had been defeated by this sudden sword.
This sword move by Heyang Shinji was also the strongest move among the sword techniques that he had created with his entire life’s effort. It was the ultimate move of the sword style of the God of Haechi-the ultimate meaning-three mirror moon.
This was the most evil and murderous sword in the world, and it was also the peak technique of the martial Dao that Heyang Shinji followed.
The moment the sword form appeared, Heyang Shinji turned into a stream of light with a speed that shocked even the players.
In an instant, the sound of a sword cutting through flesh and blood rang out!
In the blink of an eye, he yang xinti’s figure reappeared, and the blunt sword in his hand, for some reason … Had pierced through his own heart.
“Do you understand now?” Lin Yan stood still and no one saw what she had done in that instant.
However, that was no longer important. What was important was that … On his deathbed, Heyang Shinji had indeed understood something …
It turned out that there was an even higher realm above the swordless realm. People who had reached that realm had no sword in their hands, and no sword in their hearts.
A true sword God didn’t need to ask, nor would he care about where the sword was.
At the last moment, Heyang Shinji also laughed. There was a hint of misery in his smile, but there was no regret in his eyes.
For a swordsman, to be able to die at the hands of an opponent like Lin Yan, and to be able to understand his own insignificance and the true meaning of the sword through death … He would definitely die without regrets.
“I thought you wouldn’t kill him.” At that moment, Feng bujue had recovered from the side effect of demon’s descent and consumed a life point recovery potion. Even though Xu Huaishang and tired dream wanted to stop brother Jue from healing, considering that Lin Yan was present … They did not dare to act rashly.
“I really didn’t plan to kill him.” Lin Yan turned to look at brother Jue and said,”whether he can survive or not depends on himself … If there was even a little bit of kindness in his sword, he might not have died. It’s a pity that there’s no benevolence or righteousness in his martial Dao. It’s just a road of blood paved with death …”
“Oh … That means he deserved to die.” As Feng bujue spoke, he moved closer to Heyang xinci’s body.
At this moment, everyone except Lin Yan knew what he was going to do …
“What do you want to do?” Therefore, the only person who would ask this question could only be Lin Yan.
“I’m here to take something. ” When Feng bujue replied, he had already searched the body with a very skilled technique and found the sword dance grass notes on Heyang Shinji’s body.
The moment he took the item, the system notification rang in his ears.[You have obtained the ownership of ‘sword dance grass’]; As for the other three players, just as brother Jue had expected, they heard the system notification that said,[main mission failed.]
“This is the sword dance grass?” Lin Yan asked calmly when brother Jue put the items away.
“Oh?” Feng bujue guessed something from the man’s question.”You know about this sword manual too?”
“Of course I know.” Lin Yan spoke frankly and there was nothing to hide.”Even if I’m no longer a martial artist, how could I not know about this kind of common news?”
“Then …” Feng bujue rolled his eyes and asked,”you … Don’t have any interest in this manual, do you?”
“No, I didn ‘t,” Lin Yan replied in a very normal tone.
Her words were very convincing. After all … Even if Pei Yan, who had written the sword dance grass record, was resurrected, she probably wouldn’t be her match …
“Oh.” Feng bujue also put on a casual expression.”Then, why are you here today?”
“I want to go out and take a walk.” Lin Yan replied.
This reason would definitely be regarded as nonsense by anyone else … How could there be such a coincidence? On the day that the sword dance grass record appeared, were you just passing by?
However, what Lin Yan said … Did not seem to be wrong.
“Eh, what a coincidence! I also want to come out of seclusion. ” When Feng bujue heard that, he immediately took the opportunity to say,”since we’re going the same way, why don’t … We travel together and chat a little?”
“Sure, I originally wanted to chat with you.” Lin Yan replied casually. Then, she went over to lead the White Horse and continued walking along the main street of Linjin town.
Feng bujue moved as fast as he could to the spot that was only one person away from Lin Yan and walked forward with her.
“Boss Wang, our deal is still on, don’t worry.” Before he left, brother Jue did not forget to give Wang Qiong a calming pill. After all, Wang Qiong was one of the competitors for ‘sword dance grass record’. To avoid any complications, Feng bujue very considerately greeted the NPC first, meaning to say,”I’ll give you the sword dance grass record later, but not now.”
Wang Qiong was a smart man, and according to his plan … It would be better for brother Jue to take the manual first. As long as brother Jue was near Lin Yan, both his people and the manual would be safe.
On the other hand, if brother Jue gave the manual to Wang Qiong now, boss Wang would be in an awkward position because the other two groups of players and the martial arts practitioners around them were potential threats to the owner of the manual.
However … For Xu Huai Shang and the others, Feng bujue’s current action was a little too much of a scam. If the other two teams still dared to attack him, they would most likely be defeated by Lin Yan.
However, if they did not make a move, in an hour, brother Jue would be able to win the scenario while chatting …
