Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 8: One Knife Level 999
As time slowly passed, the frequency of fighting in the sky decreased, but the terrifying sound of the collision of magic spells, like thunder, became louder.
It seemed like God was using this cruel way to remind Wang Chen that opportunities are not something you can get just by seeing them.
On the road to heaven, intricate patterns formed into rings and covered the golden columns.
One, two, three, the mysterious patterns continued to increase. On the road to heaven, Wang Chen even discovered that the mysterious patterns were actually rotating around him.
At this moment, golden patterns were flowing around his body, one after another, alternating in complexity, and there were countless of them.
"Wang Chen, don't be afraid, I'm going to tell you something." Xiao Yao crawled into the tree hole, peeked at the situation outside and whispered.
"There are five people surrounding you now. Each of them has killed countless people. They are covered in blood and minced meat, like ghosts."
"I think you might die, but dying at the hands of such a master is a good way to die."
"Huh? Why are you covered in gold?" Xiaoyao only then noticed that something was wrong with Wang Chen.
"No regrets." Wang Chen did not answer Xiaoyao's question. He understood that the remaining five people were the elites among the cultivators, and they all had great opportunities.
But I don’t think my future will be worse than these people.
Even though I am still alive now, most of the powerful cultivators outside have died.
But this is useless. Even if the Dao Fruit flies into Wang Chen's mouth and is eaten, he will definitely be dissected on the spot by the angry cultivators to dig out the Dao Fruit residue.
Reason told him that the wise choice was to give up the Dao Fruit and hide quietly in this tree hole, perhaps there was still a glimmer of hope.
I have the ability to find opportunities, so I don’t need to take the risk this time.
Although it is a fight between the two parties, Wang Chen is definitely not the one who wins because he is too weak.
"Among the five of us, some have seen it before and some have not, but we all know who has what ability. There is no benefit in fighting any further. How about we divide this fruit equally among the five of us? I am willing to pay 50 million spirit stones for it."
"Isn't that too much for five people?"
There was another strange silence.
"My fellow Taoists, please don't mess around and force me to use the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique. Everything within a ten-mile radius will be reduced to dust, and no one will want the stuff."
The five people mentioned by Xiaoyao presented a rare silence amidst their mutual fear and testing.
"Compared to the big scene just now, I prefer this kind of psychological warfare." Xiaoyao nodded, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.
Before he finished his words, a sudden sound like heavy rain hit the ground without warning, and then there was silence all around.
After a long while, a panicked voice was heard:
"Master Li, I heard that you have eaten the Dao Fruit before. It is useless to eat it again. Why not give it to me? My Jiyin Sect will definitely reward you handsomely."
"No, Sect Master Li, I don't want the Dao Fruit anymore. Since we are both from the same Demon Sect, please let me go..."
The voice stopped abruptly and silence returned to the surroundings.
Wang Chen felt something was wrong, but he saw Xiaoyao floating back to his side with a look of horror on her face and whispered.
"This time it's over. An old devil dressed in black just showed up. I didn't even see him do anything. I just saw these five people turned into neat lumps of meat."
"What!"
Although Wang Chen did not see it with his own eyes, just by hearing Xiaoyao's words, he knew that the person who came must be one of the top cultivators in the world of cultivation.
Moreover, it is very brutal.
At this time, the sky suddenly turned blood red, and red light shone into the tree hole. Wang Chen looked up and saw a bloody evil god with long fangs and angry eyes floating in the sky.
At this moment, the demon god was looking down with a pair of angry eyes, and his gaze happened to meet Wang Chen's.
A terrible and intense feeling of oppression, chilling the heart, came crashing down as the gaze passed.
Wang Chen suddenly felt like a man who was about to drown in a sea of blood. His whole body felt as if he had been electrocuted and he could not move.
At this moment, the road to heaven suddenly went out, and everything here seemed to be plunged into darkness in an instant.
Many cultivators who were watching from afar sighed with regret. They understood that the disappearance of Tongtian Road meant that the outcome of the battle for this opportunity had been settled.
The fruit of Tao is born.
"That old demon is coming this way, Wang Chen, you'd better hide quickly." Xiaoyao said anxiously.
"It's okay. His target is Dao Fruit." Wang Chen tried to remain calm. He knew that the bloody demon god was obviously the magical power of the old demon outside the tree hole, and his existence had undoubtedly been exposed.
But even though he kept looking up, wanting to see whether this Dao Fruit that caused countless powerful cultivators to kill each other had three heads or six arms, he still found nothing.
All this seems like a joke from God.
Click.
With a tiny sound, the jujube tree in front of him that had sheltered him during a battle between cultivators slowly split into two halves, revealing the figure of Wang Chen inside. Inexplicably, he had the illusion that he had been stripped clean.
A man in black looked down with eyes as cold as lightning, like the clouds in the sky looking down at the dust on the ground.
Wang Chen looked back and saw the other person's appearance clearly. He looked middle-aged, with cold eyebrows and eyes, and an extraordinary demeanor.
The air was filled with the smell of blood and a light red color. The sword in the black-clothed man's hand was as red as blood and flickered like flames.
Wang Chen suddenly felt that his life was entering a countdown.
The vicissitudes of life on earth and the change of spring and winter in Huangpo Village over the years are like a revolving lantern.
I feel inexplicably sad.
Although he really wanted to be like the protagonist in the comics, suddenly bursting out with the power to turn the situation around in despair.
But the reality is cruel. Right now, he has no potential to be exploited at all.
"Li Tiannan is a cultivator of the magic path. He has extremely strong cultivation base and exudes the aura of many ancient treasures. Killing him will give you the Soul Seeking Sky Map. Opportunity Strength: Great."
As if he was unaware of the desperate situation he was in, a line of words suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Wang Chen suddenly became angry.
"Do you need me to tell you this? Such a big BOSS, of course I know that there is a great opportunity if I kill him, but now I use his head to blow it up?... Wait, what is this?" Wang Chen was getting a little excited when he suddenly found that at this moment he could inexplicably see a giant, full of golden light ball quietly floating in his body.
It's like golden stars hanging in the dark sky.
This discovery suddenly startled him, and an incredible feeling surged in his heart.
"Could it be possible that such a big ball was obtained just by sitting under the Tongtian Road?"
A finger-sized green Tuo fruit made me the sharpest knife in Huangpo Village.
Now that I have obtained such a big ball of light, it is just like reaching level 999 with one sword. It is a very logical thing to reach the sky in one step and become invincible in the world.
"I am still too modest and cautious and underestimate myself. Today I will expose this demon."
His hand slowly moved down. Wang Chen suppressed his excitement, his eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at Li Tiannan, his hand slowly moved towards the hunting knife.
A breeze blew over, blowing all the messy hair on his forehead back, revealing his clear eyebrows and eyes.
The fierce momentum was gathering, Xiaoyao stared blankly, he felt that Wang Chen had changed.
She remembered that this knife attack was the one that Wang Chen had practiced hard throughout spring and winter.
No matter whether it is a wild boar or a wild bear, neither can avoid this knife.
The first knife in Huangpo Village!
After today, maybe it should be called...
The first in the cultivation world...
Bang!
"Fuck."
The sudden explosion and the impact from his waist scared Wang Chen. Before he could touch the hunting knife at his waist, the knife exploded into powder like a firecracker.
He clearly knew that this was Li Tiannan's trick, but he had no idea what the other party had done. The only thing he was certain of was that this old devil Li Tiannan could make him explode on the spot with just a flick of his fingers. It was ridiculous that he still wanted to kill him for his equipment.
A figure flashed, and Li Tiannan was already standing in front of Wang Chen like a ghost.
Almost subconsciously, Wang Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, and he used his palm as a knife to slash at Li Tiannan's carotid artery.
This move is his unknown trump card, which once knocked out a mountain bear.
The feeling of blood boiling was very familiar. This knife seemed to cut through the wind and shatter life!
However, a hand as pale as jade, as if it was not on the same time curve as his own hand knife, its extreme speed and the slow motion of the hand knife turned into a strong visual impact that made Wang Chen's pupils shrink.
The wind from his fingers made his hair float up, and then it was broken into powder between those chaotic and terrifying fingers.
If it fell an inch more, his head would have shattered like tofu.
The fierce light in Wang Chen's eyes became more intense, but the first place where he felt the severe pain was his hand.
His knife struck Li Tiannan hard and accurately.
But it was like a full-strength blow hitting the steel without reservation, causing a piercing pain.
Li Tiannan stood as still as an iron man, with his five fingers hanging above his head.
"How is it possible? I actually hit him."
The unreal feeling stunned Wang Chen, but the severe pain was so real that it was terribly real.
The air was twisting and everything in front of me was floating, including Li Tiannan.
Everything you see seems to be submerged in a river without a single flaw.
Countless human figures slowly emerged in the flowing water. Some had white hair and long beards, wearing Taoist robes, and some were of sturdy build, as if they contained the power to explode. They were old and young, male and female, but all had pale faces and no expression, just floating and sinking in the water in a daze.
"what happened?"
The strange scene made Wang Chen feel a chill on his back.
Langlang, Langlang!
It was like giant chains made of tens of thousands of tons of copper and iron colliding with each other, making a thunderous sound.
Wang Chen looked up in horror, only to see that the demon summoned by Li Tiannan was tied up by countless pitch-black chains. It was roaring and struggling frantically. Each buckle of those chains was as thick as two people.
Then more and more pitch-black chains dropped from the sky, hooking up these drifting people one after another, as if dragging an unconscious body to the surface of the water.
Following the chain, Wang Chen saw several small boats made of red paper floating in the sky above his head, and a white and dim light swaying on the bow.
At the bow of each boat, there stood a man wearing a loose white gown, with extremely long arms and legs, and as thin as a dead tree. He held the chain and pulled the dazed men and women onto the boat like a dedicated boatman.
When the boat was full, it was like a willow leaf falling into the lake, creating a faint circular ripple, then it turned silently and sank into the darkness.
A chain fell down, wrapped around Li Tiannan and pulled him upwards.
This scene happened right before his eyes. Wang Chen was shocked and took a step back.
"Hush."
It’s Xiaoyao’s voice.
These are ghost messengers who are here to take souls away. Don't talk or move, and don't let them find you.
Xiaoyao sat on his shoulder and whispered.
"Ghost messenger?!" Wang Chen looked at Xiao Yao in confusion, "How did you know?"
Xiaoyao didn't say anything, but watched the souls being hooked away by the chains.
Looking at Li Tiannan again, he was like a statue and was pulled onto the boat in a short while.
However, the red glow all over his body became brighter and brighter, like waves on the water.
Then the chains around him exploded.
"You evil spirits, you dare to seduce my soul! Die!" Li Tiannan's tone was filled with anger that could not be concealed.
The red fairy sword raised a circular sword energy, like a huge army composed of countless swords, slashing at these evil spirits like a tidal wave.
The extremely fast and sharp sword energy actually caused an illusion, in which green-faced and fanged demons riding lions, tigers and other never-before-seen strange beasts rushed out.
Boom! Boom! Boom! The sword energy caused the Styx to explode layer by layer, raising huge waves and making a terrible sound like thunder and waves.
The ghost officials screamed sharply and resisted with their pitch-black chains, but they were unable to hold on. Several ghost officials were cut in half. There was a movement under the wide white robe, and a group of huge rats with three red eyes ran out. This immediately caused a panic, and the water of the Styx rolled up huge waves.
The world before him twisted and spun, but Wang Chen stared with wide eyes, looking at the great power of the top cultivator, fascinated...
"Oh, I forgot that the water of the Styx will cause people to lose part of their memory." Xiaoyao looked at Wang Chen's confused expression and suddenly realized.
"Pa!" She excitedly stretched out her little hand and slapped Wang Chen hard, making a crisp sound.
