Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 891 The ultimate goal of Qi Refining research should be that everyone becomes an immortal.
The inner demon Zhuge Qing, wielding a sharp knife, easily blocked Zhang Lingyu's palm, which was covered in golden light and buffs.

"Not bad, that's quite something." The inner demon Zhuge Qing was still sneering casually: "If it were just now, I'm afraid I would have been knocked back a few steps. You just absorbed your Yin Lightning, and you still want to hurt me? Here you go!"

Before he finished speaking, a crackling sound rang out, and the Yin Lightning that Zhang Lingyu had just poured out actually flowed back towards Zhang Lingyu through the palm of the inner demon Zhuge Qing.

"Uh!"

Caught off guard, Zhang Lingyu was immediately sent flying, his golden light eroded and riddled with holes, giving him a kind of beauty reminiscent of Super Vegeta being turned back to normal by Cell's elbow strike.

Fortunately, this was ultimately his own ability, and Yin Lightning was one of the orthodox methods of Longhu Mountain. Although the body was filthy, the spirit was righteous. Zhang Lingyu also had a solution, and quickly neutralized all the Yin Lightning that the inner demon Zhuge Qing had poured back.

"Is Elder He's guidance really that powerful?"

Zhang Lingyu stood there, panting heavily, a sense of bewilderment in his heart. He had been taught by Zhang Zhiwei since childhood, never slacking off for over twenty years, and apart from losing his virginity, he had never taken a wrong step. Yet, even now, this was all he had achieved.

Both Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing, after receiving guidance from Senior He, experienced a rapid improvement in their strength. Not only among the younger generation, but also among all the extraordinary individuals, they were clearly top-tier experts in the first tier.

At this moment, although Zhang Lingyu's body was radiating golden light again and he still had the strength to fight, his resolve had wavered.

He knew in his heart that this was nothing more than a friendly sparring match, a test by He Songling to familiarize Zhuge Qing with his newly acquired techniques. No one would die, there was no danger, and if he was inferior, he was inferior; if he lost, he lost. Mentally, he had already begun to back down.

It's not that Zhang Lingyu lacked the determination to fight to the death, but it's a common trait among people who grow up in peacetime: since they won't die anyway, if they can't win this time, they'll just practice their whip skills behind the mountain and come back another time if necessary.

He Songling did not intend to correct Zhang Lingyu's mindset. In his view, there was nothing wrong with it; it was a symbol of progress.

Only when everyone stops thinking about life-or-death situations can the supernatural beings be managed.

This is a peaceful era, a society governed by the rule of law. It's not a time when a few martial arts masters can kill at will. Besides, who says you can't defeat your enemy without resorting to deadly intent?
He Songling can now defeat all the superhumans in the world without killing a single one, yet leaving none alive.

The cultivation of extraordinary individuals, whether it is refining Qi or refining the mind, will ultimately be transformed into a kind of "academic" practice. Only in times of peace can more research be conducted, can the realm of life cultivation be raised to a higher level, and may even unlock the secrets of "immortals" in the future, allowing everyone to become an immortal.

Once you become an immortal, you are naturally stronger than a mortal.

No amount of experience in life-or-death battles can compare to everyone becoming an immortal.

However, that was He Songling's beautiful vision after all, and now, Zhang Lingyu, who is facing the enemy with this mentality, seems destined to lose.

"No, Master Lingyu."

Zhuge Qing walked over with a look of unfulfilled desire, stood in front of Zhang Lingyu, and bowed deeply to him. "I have just obtained the immortal technique, but I have no one to practice it with, so I cannot know it myself. Apart from Elder He, there is no one else here but you and your wife. I hope that you, Lingyu, will grant my request!"

When Zhang Lingyu heard Zhuge Qing refer to himself and Xia He as a "couple," his face turned red again.

"You're blushing like a bubble teapot!"

Now, not only the inner demons, but even Zhuge Qing himself couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"In that case, I'll give it a try."

Zhuge Qing hadn't fully grasped the Tongtian Lu yet, but with He Songling's "urging," he became much more attentive to it than in the original story. It was more urgent than having a gun pointed at his head and forcing him to learn.

Therefore, Zhang Lingyu has also discovered the little secret of the Tongtian Talisman's advancement ahead of time. However, he is not sure yet, nor does he dare to say that he can use it freely.

"go with!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Lingyu unleashed a cloud of dark thunder, enveloping Zhuge Qing and his inner demons.

"Again?" the inner demon roared arrogantly from within the black mist, "Don't you ever learn? Didn't I tell you it wouldn't work! Today I'm..."

Once the arrogant words were put aside, the voice of the inner demons disappeared.

"Hmm?" Zhuge Qing suddenly felt for a moment that something beyond his control appeared in the formation. Although it was only a little, this was a double formation, a divine transmission formation.

This is no coincidence.

Looking down, one could see a tiny pellet, which seemed to have been stepped on by the inner demon. The inner demon had slipped while absorbing the water-dirty thunder, and it rolled onto the back of its head, hitting the fallen inner demon's brain.

But that shouldn't be the case either.

This is a demon that has integrated the three corpses, and it is under the state of its new formation. Its body is harder than refined steel. Moreover, it is not flesh and blood and does not have a nervous system. What kind of bead can knock the demon unconscious like a real person knocking their brainstem, or even make it into a vegetable?
"The environment here is indeed suitable for using these techniques that borrow the power of heaven and earth." Zhang Lingyu's own thunder magic, of course, would not obstruct his vision. Seeing the inner demon Zhuge Qing lying on the ground, he couldn't help but nod in approval.

He knew he couldn't possibly achieve this in the real world. Spellcasting wouldn't be this smooth, the effects wouldn't be this varied; at best, it would cause someone to slip and fall, let alone something as inhuman as Zhuge Qing's inner demon. It was hard to say whether it would even have any effect on him.

However, just as Zhang Daoling's visualization diagram could remain intact, the advanced usage of this Tongtian Talisman was also greatly enhanced.

"Come on, Zhuge Qing, one-on-one." Zhang Lingyu finally regained some confidence.

"Huh?" Zhuge Qing looked at Zhang Lingyu in shock: "No way, Master Lingyu, do you mean I released him so that we could gain a numerical advantage by fighting two against one?"

"Isn't that right?" Zhang Lingyu's heart tightened; he felt as if he had become a fool again.

"Ah, is that what you think?" Zhuge Qing's eyes widened in shock. "I originally thought that since the old master was the one who closed his door and was the first among us young people to follow Elder He, he should have some knowledge."

Although Zhuge Qing didn't use a single word of contempt, Zhang Lingyu felt that his insults were very vulgar.

"Alright then, I'll show you the complete form."

Zhuge Qing sighed, then waved his hand. The inner demon on the ground transformed into a black liquid streak, flying from the ground into Zhuge Qing's hand. "Rise!"

With a summons, the formation appeared.

"Kun character, Tuheche!"

The giant rock snake emerged from the ground and headed straight for Zhuge Qing.
