Chapter 76: The Three Reunited and the Different Li Shu
After a brief breath adjustment, Lin Mo checked his comprehension of the Phantom Yin Finger. Although he had only used a few fingers simply before, it also gave him a new understanding of the comprehension and usage of this finger technique. As expected, it has increased to 78%.
It was also my fault that my cognition was influenced by the various novels in my previous life. The Phantom Yin Finger was supposed to kill the enemy with one blow. The best way to use this finger technique was to accumulate the greatest amount of Yin-cold finger power and hit the opponent in one blow, allowing the opponent's body to be crushed by this finger power.
However, he, like Li Shu, used this finger technique as a move in close combat. Obviously, he had misunderstood it. The true meaning of Phantom Yin Finger is like a dream, as difficult to understand as the shadow. The correct way to use Phantom Yin Finger is to decide the outcome in one move when the enemy is not paying attention.
At the same time, Li Shu, Huangfu Lingyun and Murong Ying were teleported into the same large space. This time the space was a little different. There were huge trees everywhere that blocked out the sun. It was obvious that they had arrived at a place covered by countless trees.
The three of them looked at each other and took a defensive stance.
At this time, a voice from the underground palace sounded: "The final illusion trial, the last battle Lin Mo vs. Li Shu, Huangfu Lingyun, Murong Ying. Because they are in the illusion space, death will not be fed back to reality. Li Shu, Huangfu Lingyun and Murong Ying are not allowed to attack each other. In the end, as long as Li Shu and the other two kill Lin Mo, even if someone dies in between, the three will win at the same time."
Huangfu Lingyun smiled and said, "It looks like it's three against one this time. I don't know what the Underground Palace is thinking. If it's one against one, I admit that none of us three can beat that pervert, but three against one, it's hard not to win. Young Master Li Shu, you can't turn against us halfway through the fight. The Underground Palace is determined to attack each other."
Li Shu said, "I also want to fight with Brother Lin. This happens to be an illusionary space. Even if I die, I will just be teleported out. Don't worry. It's just that the underground palace has underestimated us. According to the fair rules, the three of us are evenly matched with Brother Lin alone. And I am not as weak as I was when I first entered the underground palace."
Murong Ying frowned and said nothing.
Huangfu Lingyun looked at the two and said, "You should have killed your own and the other two's phantoms. You must have greatly improved in actual combat. I have carefully observed that although the phantoms are as strong as us, they have mastered the timing of each move and each style much better than us. Especially when fighting against your own phantoms, you can only win if you break through the limitations of your previous martial arts comprehension."
Murong Ying looked at him and nodded.
Li Shu also frowned and said, "So the previous battle was to train our strength and break through our limits, and also to let us recognize the specific strength of the two people besides ourselves. Is this to make us cooperate better?"
Huangfu Lingyun nodded and said, "Young Master Li Shu is indeed smart. I think so too. It is obvious that the Underground Palace is training Lin Mo, and we are his last whetstone. If he can be sharpened, he should be able to get more attention and benefits from the forces behind the Underground Palace. If he can't be sharpened, then we will stop here."
Li Shu said with an even uglier expression, "Brother Lin and I have fought together in the underground palace. Although Brother Lin's sword move is very powerful, if the three of us work together, we can completely block his move in the first place. So, shouldn't we let him go? Anyway, I have gained a lot this time."
Murong Ying shook his head and said, "Fight!"
Huangfu Lingyun thought about it carefully and said, "We can't let him win. This is a test from the Underground Palace. Since he is being asked to fight the three of us, it means that he has the potential to defeat us. More importantly, the forces behind the Underground Palace are not good people. If we openly let him win, it would be a disregard for the rules of the Underground Palace. For the big shots, they may easily wipe out everyone except you, Li Shu."
Li Shu nodded and understood what Huangfu Lingyun meant. After all, he was the prince of the Holy Medical Alliance. No matter how powerful the forces behind the underground palace were, he would not want to provoke a force like the Holy Medical Alliance, which had a good reputation and was absolutely neutral. He scratched his head and continued:
"Should we discuss the specific arrangements for the battle now? After all, we entered this dense forest first. Since we have to fight, we must show our strongest strength. I believe that if Brother Lin is really the protagonist, then he will definitely win. If he loses, he will no longer be the protagonist..."
Li Shu did not continue to speak, but the usually playful Huangfu Lingyun also became serious. He could not help but look at Li Shu more carefully. He had a new understanding of this middle school boy. He originally thought that he and Lin Mo had a really good relationship, but now it seems that Lin Mo is more like a kind of sustenance to him.
A kind of reliance on the protagonist in one's favorite novel. Perhaps there is indeed friendship between the two, but when the protagonist Lin Mo is no longer the protagonist, Li Shu's attitude towards Lin Mo may still be the same as that of a friend, but it will be less fanatical, and the attitude will more likely change to another extreme.
It's just like in the real world, a die-hard fan worships his idol in every way, thinking that the idol must be invincible and omnipotent. But when the idol really fails, really fails, this die-hard fan is likely to turn into the number one black fan, because the idol in his heart is already dead, and the person in front of him is just the culprit who destroyed all the beauty in his heart.
Die-hard fans who turn into black fans are often the most terrifying. They will ruthlessly trample on the person they have lifted up, and may even spit on him. Their attitude of not stopping until the other person is dead is as unwavering as their previous admiration and love for the person.
Murong Ying also looked at Li Shu a few more times, and it was obvious that he had a new understanding of this seemingly innocent young man. The simpler a person is, the more terrifying he is sometimes. He does things without any scruples and does not think about the gains and losses, and just follows his heart.
Huangfu Lingyun coughed twice, and no longer cared about the complicated relationship between Li Shu and Lin Mo, and said: "Our strengths should be very clear because of the relationship between the phantoms, so I will go up to fight, my Wulang Bagua stick can block Lin Mo's blood killing knife, and then Li Shu will be responsible for assisting me in close combat.
You are the strongest in close combat, and your finger skills are sharp enough, plus my Bagua Youshen Palm. Although Lin Mo's finger skills are very vicious, they are not strong in close combat. As long as we don't give him the opportunity to use that sword, Brother Murong, you are responsible for the final blow, and you only have one chance to use the sword. "
Murong Ying nodded, knowing what Huangfu Lingyun meant. He had no flaws when he didn't draw his sword, but once he drew his sword, he would be exposed. Although his attack was the strongest among the three, he was also the weakest in defense, and it would be easy for Lin Mo to find an opportunity to kill him with one blow.
Li Shu also nodded seriously. This battle was very important to him. It was to verify the last doubt in his mind about Lin Mo's identity as the protagonist. The protagonist could lose, but he could not lose at his own hands. A protagonist who lost at his own hands was not the protagonist in his mind , so he would use his strongest strength to verify all of this.
