Chapter 37: South Gate
Li Shu said to Lin Mo at this time: "Brother Lin, which gate shall we enter later? At the beginning, we should not collide with disciples from other major forces. After all, there are still two stages of trials to come."
Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, “Our team is not as strong as the combined strength of the three disciples from the seven great families, but in the first stage, there will be ten teams, and they will intentionally avoid some teams that may cause trouble to themselves. After all, this is just the beginning, and they are still focusing on preserving their strength.
We will choose the south gate and be the first to enter, so that we can better distinguish between friends and enemies. Xiaoshu, I have a lot of grudges to settle in the underground palace, so there will be a lot of people to kill. If you feel there is danger, you can give up the underground palace trial."
Li Shu's eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Lin, that's right. If you don't kill a few disciples from powerful forces, how can you live up to your title of protagonist? Don't worry, I should be stronger than those inner disciples from powerful forces. At least from the perspective of saving my life, no one in the underground palace will pose a threat to me."
Lin Mo was speechless to this boy who had been brainwashed by novels since childhood. He knew that no matter what he said, he was not the protagonist, and he would definitely say that whatever the protagonist said was right. However, he had a new understanding of Li Shu's strength. After all, as the son of the head of the Holy Medical Alliance, he must have many ways to save his life.
Then he said to Yun Zhongqing: "Butler Yun, tell me about your current strength and realm. When you enter the first stage of the trial, you will definitely have to fight. I don't expect you to be of much help, but at least you should be able to restrain one of the opponents within a certain limit of harassment."
Yun Zhongqing whispered to Lin Mo, "Young Master, I am now at the seventh level of marrow refining. The master also taught me a set of claw attacks and body techniques. I believe that even if I can't deal with disciples , I can still fight those independent cultivators who have reached the perfection of marrow refining on equal terms."
Lin Mo nodded secretly. After all, Li Tianluo was still a deacon of the Yiqi Society. Although his status was not high, the martial arts he learned were much stronger than those of the independent practitioners. Naturally, what he passed on to Yun Zhongqing was not bad either, a set of claw attacks and a set of body movements. Thinking of this, he looked at Yun Zhongqing a few more times.
At this time, the voice in the hall sounded again: "The first trial is about to begin. All trial teams can enter the gate to participate in the trial."
No one in the hall took the first step. After all, most of the independent cultivators knew that they could not compare to the disciples of the big sects, so they planned to wait until the disciples of the big sects made their choice first before considering which door to enter.
At this time, the evil duo entered the East Gate first. The disciples of the three major families chose the Central Gate, which might have the highest trial rewards. Liu Emei, Han Xiao and Meng Ting entered the West Gate. Lin Mo also entered the South Gate with Li Shu and Yun Zhongqing.
Hu Yi had been staring at Lin Mo. After seeing Lin Mo enter the South Gate, he quickly followed him into the South Gate.
At this time, the seven-family alliance in Tianmu Domain, no, now there are only six families left. The two family disciples who had seen Lin Mo in action unanimously asked to avoid Lin Mo. After all, Lin Mo's marrow refining was perfect, and it looked like cutting vegetables. The remaining two families felt that these two people exaggerated Lin Mo's strength. Since they had formed an alliance at that time, they should do their best for the dead pervert Li Tian.
So the Wang family and the Meng family, who asked to avoid Lin Mo, chose to enter the North Gate, while the Jin family and the Zhao family, who wanted to avenge Li Tian, chose to enter the South Gate. Finally, the Zhang family, who organized an alliance, thought about it and chose to enter through the East Gate, and the rest of the Sun family entered the Central Gate.
After seeing that the disciples from the big sects and families had already made their choices, many independent cultivators also went in groups of two or three to choose the sect they thought was suitable for them. The Central Sect had the least number of people, while the Northern Sect had the most.
After Lin Mo and the other two entered the south gate, they felt dizzy again and realized that they had been teleported to an enclosed room with copper-colored floors and walls. There was a large stone platform in the middle, which was blank and the door they came from had disappeared.
Lin Mo said, "Now we should wait for the newcomers. Everyone should recover their status. Don't rush to attack when you see someone coming. Xiao Shu, the disciples from other major forces have all avoided us. You will lead the battle and see how strong you are. Steward Yun, you should also hold one person back."
Both of them nodded, and Li Shu said excitedly: "This is my first time fighting with someone. Although I always spar with others in the alliance, I always feel that the other party is giving me the upper hand."
At this time, a white light flashed, and it turned out to be three people dressed as casual cultivators. They looked middle-aged. Lin Mo couldn't help but frowned. The strength of this casual cultivator was average, but their methods were hard to guard against .
When Li Shu saw the people coming, he glanced at Lin Mo and Yun Zhongqing, then took the lead in rushing forward using his body skills. After a few palm strikes, he forced two of them back. Yun Zhongqing also took the opportunity to go to the other person and used a vicious claw attack to go straight for the other person's throat.
At the beginning, when the two wandering cultivators were forced to retreat by Li Shu, they were secretly shocked by the opponent's strength. However, after a few moves, they found that the opponent had no murderous intent, so they began to fight with their lives.
One of them used boxing to specifically attack Li Shu's vital points, while the other picked up a big knife and attacked Li Shu's throat with the intention of exchanging injury for life. Li Shu was temporarily disrupted by the opponent's fierce fighting style.
On the other side, Yun Zhongqing fought back and forth. The initial attack brought him a huge advantage. The opponent didn't even have time to use weapons and could only use a set of palm techniques to deal with Yun Zhongqing. However, Yun Zhongqing's claw attack was extremely fierce. After being hit by the opponent's palm, he tore the opponent's throat.
Afterwards, Yun Zhongqing retreated to Lin Mo's side to regulate his breathing. Lin Mo looked at the body movements used by Yun Zhongqing in the middle, was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he continued to watch the life-and-death fight between Li Shu and the two casual cultivators.
Seeing that Yun Zhongqing had ended the fight, Li Shu's competitive spirit was aroused, and he began to use a peculiar finger technique. Every time he hit his opponent, he would make the opponent temporarily stiff. The remaining two cultivators saw that one of them had been eliminated, and their fighting style became more and more crazy. One of them even took the opportunity to throw out a poison powder.
But Li Shu was the young master of the Holy Medical Alliance. After swallowing a pill he carried with him, he continued to use his finger skills to attack the two men, forcing them to start defending. And when they saw a slight flaw, Li Shu pressed the acupuncture points on their bodies, and the two cultivators were unable to move immediately.
Li Shu turned back and said to Lin Mo very proudly: "Brother Lin, you see I have solved it too."
Suddenly, the hairs on Li Shu's neck stood up. At this moment, he saw Lin Mo pull out the blood knife from his waist, and then a purple knife energy instantly flew past him and slashed behind him.
When Li Shu looked back, he saw that one of the men's swords was three fingers away from his neck, and the other man's fist was hitting his waist and abdomen. The heads of the two men had been cut off by the swords, and the hot blood sprayed all over Li Shu's face.
