One skill point per second, I turn fireballs into forbidden spells.

Chapter 967 Bro, did you go crazy from leveling up?
What did Sun Shu mean by what he said before he left?

Why is it that he, a man of the gods, can say that it makes no difference whether the gods are in power or the people of the Dark Star are in charge?

His thoughts flashed back to the feeling he had not long ago when Sun Shu's sword intent reached his chest—it was so magical.

Despite its incredibly sharp and invincible sword intent, it caused no harm to his body.

Sun Shu's sword intent was like an unstoppable breeze, gently brushing against his chest and then disappearing silently, as if it had never existed.

His path is to follow nature. How can the path of following nature be combined with sword intent? Doesn't sword intent emphasize invincibility and unparalleled sharpness? Can such sword intent still be called sword intent? Why did Sun Shu say such contradictory things to himself?

Even several minutes after Sun Shu left, Lin Yi was still pondering Sun Shu's words:

How exactly did I help Sun Shu?
What exactly did he learn from one of my remarks?
Why is the path he walks completely unrelated to the techniques he practices?

I can't figure it out, I just can't understand it.

But Lin Yi witnessed Sun Shu's strength increase dramatically.

The practice of completely restricting the enemy's moves with a casual wave of the hand is nothing more than forcibly shoving a bullet that has just left the barrel back into the enemy's gun barrel.

This is something that can't be achieved simply by being powerful.

Xi Yue and Xiao Ao Shu both knew very well what Lin Yi was doing, and they tacitly refrained from disturbing him, while pondering what Sun Shu had said.

The three of them remained motionless for an hour before Lin Yi finally snapped out of his reverie.

He seemed to have some insights, but not many.

Lin Yi understood what Sun Shu was saying, but he had no clue what path he was on.

"Brother Lin Yi, don't you think that guy was really strange just now?"

It's not surprising that Xiao Ao Shu, being naive and inexperienced, couldn't understand.

"But this guy is very polite; he really didn't hurt us badly."

Xi Yue nodded as well.

She couldn't understand why Sun Shu had to express his gratitude, but he hadn't even given her the promised guidance. To say nothing of anything else, he had only exchanged a few moves with her, and the two women hadn't even used their full strength yet.

"At first, I thought that going to find those four Corpse Kings was courting death. It's impossible that they would change their opinion of us so much just because we exchanged a few blows. I also pondered and meditated on what he said, just like you, but I found that I couldn't understand a thing. In order to wait for you, I cultivated in the inner field for a while."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi smiled slightly and gently patted the two women on the shoulders.

"Let's go, stop worrying about it. If we walk a little further, maybe we'll understand the reasoning. Right now, we can't find any clues about the Four Corpse Kings in this Netherworld, so there's no need for us to stay any longer."

Dark Xing Headquarters.

One of the seven top leaders, Zhanli, is mustering his troops.

Trembling possesses remarkable abilities and holds perspectives different from those of ordinary Dark Star members.

The path he walked in his life was one of tyranny.

He firmly believed that he was omnipotent and that he could change the world's landscape with his own abilities; he was an extreme individualist.

With such a thought in mind, one naturally places extremely high demands on teammates.

He didn't believe that sheer numbers could defeat the legendary Four Corpse Kings. He thought that it would take the combined efforts of several capable and cooperative individuals to defeat them.

"Um, Lord Trembling, do you mean just the ten of us?" At first, these ten people were extremely excited when they heard that the number one expert of Dark Xing was teaming up with them. After all, it was an honor for them to be able to team up with the number one expert of Dark Xing.

To their surprise, their initial enthusiasm quickly faded.

And he was brought down by just one chilling sentence.

"Of course, we are all top-notch experts in the Shadow Path. In terms of individual combat strength, it is hard to find anyone better than us. With the abilities of the ten of us, we have a good chance of defeating the four Corpse Kings."

"Everyone, the Four Corpse Kings are ancient monsters who have lived in this world for more than 10,000 years. No one has ever truly killed them. If we can do this, not only will our names be remembered in the Three Realms and Six Paths, but the treasures we obtain from the Four Corpse Kings will also greatly enhance our strength."

"Everyone, aren't you tempted?"

How could I not be moved? It would be normal not to be moved.

If it weren't for his high status, he would definitely have been criticized:

Brother, don't you look at what you're saying? Of the ten people here, in terms of individual combat strength, they are indeed the best in the Dark Rising Organization. That's why the ten of them basically don't cooperate with each other on a regular basis.

Although they gained some understanding of each other's capabilities through Anxing's information database, it remained only at the information level.

The four Corpse Kings are incredibly powerful; otherwise, they wouldn't have caused such tension among the higher-ups, leading to arguments over them.

The team consisted of nine people, excluding Trembling. All nine of them were inwardly complaining that Trembling must have developed a brain from practicing martial arts to make such a decision.

I still ask you if your heart is moved.

What's the use of being attracted if you can't win and won't live to enjoy it? What's the point of being attracted?

"Brother Zhanli, should we consider bringing more people, such as those who can form formations and are quite strong? At least they can provide some assistance during our battles and give us a better chance of winning. What do you think, Brother Zhanli?"

The one who spoke was a master named Gale.

He is steady and reliable in his work, and his style of doing things is quite different from his reputation.

The reason for mentioning it is simply to provide a safety guarantee for the other experts.

"No, Gale, why are you getting worse as you get older? I've never seen you act like this during missions. Are you afraid of death? This isn't like you. So, do you lack confidence in your own abilities, or in ours?"

If you insist on hearing the truth, then there is none of that.

"What about you guys? Do you share his idea?"

After taking the four Corpse Kings into her personal space, Luo Bingxin returned directly to the headquarters of Dark Xing.

The Dark Star headquarters has a very powerful detection system that can see through all disguises and identify the true nature of everything. Therefore, no creature that is not recorded by the Dark Star headquarters can enter the Dark Star headquarters.

When Gongshu Laotou designed this detection system, he did not take into account the detection of personal space.

After all, living things cannot enter a personal space.

Luo Bingxin seized upon this loophole, which allowed her to successfully bring the four Corpse Kings into Dark Xing's headquarters without anyone noticing.

At this tense time, Luo Bingxin's whereabouts would not attract the attention of the higher-ups at Anxing.

Once they reached a secluded spot, Luo Bingxin released the four Corpse Kings and headed towards the location of the Dark Xing Information Database.
