The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 282 Fighting for Life
Walking across the snowy field, spring comes into view again.

The further they go up, the more difficult it becomes. Lin Bai and Mu Zhen had agreed to act separately, but now they can only move forward hand in hand.

Tiny beads of blood continued to seep out of Mu Zhen's body, and there was no way to stop it.

Lin Bai seemed to be in better condition than her, but he was actually in great pain. Endless destructive sword intent was running wild in his body, wandering through his flesh, blood, tendons and bones, sometimes hot and sometimes cold, like a thousand needles piercing his heart.

The pain was bearable, but the sword intent not only destroyed the body, but also gradually eroded the consciousness and will.

Lin Bai leaned on a wooden stick and looked at the back of his hand. Although no blood had seeped out yet, there were already tiny cracks.

Being in the mountains, with heavy objects pressing down on you outside and swords flying everywhere inside, it is really difficult.

Although the road ahead is unknown, fortunately there are no pursuers behind and teammates are able to fight.

Ever since he met Sister Zhen, Lin Bai had never seen her in such a miserable state. Even when she was in a daze on the bed, she still maintained a sense of decency. But now, her skirt had many holes, and her face was stained with blood and dirt, but she didn't even want to brush her face and clean herself.

"How much can you believe her words?" Mu Zhen grabbed Lin Bai's sleeve and asked breathlessly.

Just now, Bi Huanqiu reminded us to be careful of Yin Yan.

"When a man is about to die, his words are good." Lin Bai believed what Bi Huanqiu said, but after all, he was on a away trip, and although Li Wusheng and Mo Yingcheng had given him some advice, he only had a vague idea of ​​their background.

The leader, Ying Wangtian, is the beloved disciple of Lihuo Taoist, the lord of Jiuzha Mountain. He is equipped with secret skills and has an arrogant, yet deep personality.

He Bingde was not born into a high-class family and had no Nascent Soul master, but he had always been close to Ying Wangtian.

Needless to say, Du Changying is the descendant of Du Jueming, who is in the Nascent Soul stage, so he is no ordinary person.

As for Yin Yan, he also has no Nascent Soul to rely on. He usually does not show up in public and is a kind person. He is born with a keen eye and is good at identifying things.

Among these people, the most outstanding one this time was Yin Yan.

Now that Bi Huanqiu has asked us to be wary of Yin Yan, this man must be a very capable person.

"Yin Yan is a hidden talent, and so are you." Mu Zhen even had the leisure to blink.

"In short, be careful." Lin Bai supported Mu Zhen, squeezed her hand, and said, "If you have a backup plan, use it quickly, but don't hide it."

Lin Bai knew that she must be holding a lot of good things in her hands, and he just hoped that Sister Zhen would show off her power.

The two of them whispered for a while and continued to move forward.

Not long after walking, we saw bloodstains again. Many scattered blood spots, and a few bloody footprints. The surrounding trees were broken and the rocks were collapsed.

Mu Zhen stepped forward and observed carefully, and made a judgment, "There are at least two bloodstains. There was a big battle here, and it was not a grudge, but it was over in one or two breaths. It was either a sneak attack, or the strength was far superior."

Lin Bai agreed with Sister Zhen's inference. Those who have come this far are probably exhausted and have relied entirely on their determination.

Under such circumstances, even if he fought hard, he might not be able to suppress the sword intent in his body, so he was too lazy to clean up the battlefield or cover it up.

But since he succeeded in one strike, the person with such strength should be Ying Wangtian.

According to Li Wusheng, He Bingde is good at defense and is as strong as Du Changying. Yin Yan, on the other hand, rarely shows his ability, but as someone who specializes in identification, it is unlikely that he is good at killing.

However, nothing is absolute. Someone may show his prowess, or it may just be a setup.

The two of them were more careful, walking and stopping from time to time, with Lin Bai holding the gourd in his arms and leaning on a wooden stick.

Mu Zhen had no demeanor of a noble lady. She wiped the blood off her face with her hands, gasping for breath while gritting her teeth.

The two men walked forward slowly, and after about a hundred feet, they heard shouting in the front.

"Senior Brother Yin has always been a kind person, but it turns out he can be so extraordinary." Ying Wangtian only sneered.

"Junior Brother Ying is a rare talent among men, but he can't bear to see us coming to compete for opportunities, and instead blocks our way. With the great road ahead, even a clay man will have some blood in his veins." Yin Yan's voice trembled.

Lin Bai and Mu Zhen looked at each other without saying anything, but their eyes clearly said: Fight now!

"Senior Brother Ying, Senior Brother Yin, why are we so hostile? We are all disciples of Jiuding Mountain. Even if there is an opportunity ahead, we should not lose harmony." He Bingde actually tried to persuade them.

"You ambushed and injured me, and now you are trying to persuade me not to hurt our relationship?" Yin Yan sneered.

"I know what you are capable of!" Ying Wangtian said impatiently, "How can you be the first to pass the trial? How can you persist until now? Who gave you advice, and what is your purpose?"

"Brother Ying, are you determined to kill me?" Yin Yan said in a very low voice.

But Ying Wangtian did not respond.

"You two, please give me a hand!" Yin Yan shouted towards Lin Mu and the other two.

Even though the body of Jindan is trapped inside and outside, it cannot be hidden from others when the distance is so close.

Lin Bai glanced at Mu Zhen and walked forward, while Mu Zhen stayed where he was.

After climbing a hundred feet, we came to a platform. Trees had fallen, rocks had collapsed, and the place was in a mess.

Yin Yan was covered in blood and was sitting against a tree stump, gasping for breath.

There was another person next to him, also covered in blood, with broken limbs and exposed internal organs. It was clearly Du Changying.

Du Changying was not dead yet. He squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Bai. No one knew what expression was on his bloodstained face.

Not far away, there was a man holding a sword, his face was extremely pale and he was gasping for breath. It was Ying Wangtian.

This person has reached such a state, but his skin is not damaged. I don’t know whether it is due to the body tempering or the secret method.

He Bingde was sitting on the ground, his clothes torn and his face covered in blood, holding a khaki flagpole in his hand to support himself on the ground.

"Senior Brother Ying, Senior Brother He, Senior Brother Yin, Senior Brother Du." Lin Bai was a respectable man, and he did not forget to greet even when the situation was tense.

No one returned the greeting, and no one spoke. Lin Bai was also exhausted, so he simply sat down cross-legged, holding the gourd in front of him, took a big sip of wine, and silently weighed the strength of each party.

This place is only a hundred feet away from the top of the mountain. His burden is even heavier, and the sword intent pent up in his body can no longer be suppressed.

Lin Bai knew very well that he had the power of the Twelve Turns of Hun Yuan, but he had hidden injuries in his body. It was difficult for him to even take a step with the weight he was carrying, and the big guy must be feeling even worse.

Moreover, it was obvious that these four men had fought for a while. Except for Ying Wangtian, everyone else was injured, and it seemed that the injuries were serious.

Although Lin Bai wanted to benefit from the situation, he did not dare to underestimate this group of people.

Those who can come here are all people with unique skills. They may have some magic weapons or secret skills in their hands, so we need to be careful when dealing with them.

Of course, Lin Bai felt that he and Sister Zhen had a great chance of winning this time if they joined forces.

"The road ahead is bright and clear, why bother with fighting?" Seeing that no one was about to take action, Lin Bai acted as a peacemaker.

"I didn't kill anyone, but someone did it first." Yin Yan sneered.

"What good intentions do you have?" Ying Wangtian took out a pill and swallowed it, blood slowly oozing out of his arm.

He couldn't withstand the damage from the sword.

"Alas." Lin Bai sighed, "We climbed the mountain with blood and paved the way for the great road. Now it's only a hundred feet to the top of the mountain, why bother to fight to the death? Climbing to the top and looking far away will broaden your mind. I think when the time comes, we can laugh it off and forget all the grudges. Why don't we take a break and then go together."

"He suffered the least damage, he is outlasting us!" He Bingde suddenly said.

"..." Lin Bai pretended not to hear and did not take sides. He just looked at Yin Yan and asked, "Brother Yin, what happened to you? Who started it first?"

Yin Yan also took the pill, and did not forget to give one to Du Changying, saying: "I was the last one to chase, and first met Junior Sister Bi. She did not cultivate her body, so she suffered the most damage and was abandoned. Later, I met Junior Brother Du, and I went hand in hand with him, but I didn't expect to be ambushed by Junior Brother Ying and Junior Brother He."

Lin Bai looked like a law enforcement monk and looked at Ying Wangtian.

Ying Wangtian sat down cross-legged, holding his sword across his knees, and looked at Lin Bai, saying, "Junior Brother Zhuanlun is the one who truly showed his prowess. He helped Li Wusheng escape the trial, and came here without any injuries. It is truly admirable."

He didn't mention anything about the sneak attack, but talked about other things instead.

"Brother, you are too kind." Lin Bai was not panicked at all. He knew very well that these people were several times more seriously injured than him, and it would be difficult for them to recover in this place. Even with the help of elixirs, it could only delay the damage.

"Where did you get the body-refining method from, Junior Brother? How did you manage to last until now?" Ying Wangtian asked again.

The others also looked over with great interest, even Du Changying, who was only half dead, looked somewhat spirited.

"To be honest, Senior Brother, although I am a casual cultivator, I was supported by the Qiaoshan Gu Patriarch. Later, the Qiaoshan General Affairs Sect Leader died, and I fought desperately to chase the enemy and made great contributions. The Qiaoshan Supreme Patriarch also gave me the method of body tempering."

Lin Bai looked around at everyone and said, "Do you know the name of Ancestor Xiang?"

"Senior Xiang Wuhui is only one step away from ascending to heaven." Ying Wangtian frowned slightly, with a look of yearning, "Even our master, when he mentioned Senior Xiang, he was extremely respectful. Although I have more Nascent Souls than Qiaoshan, when it comes to the depth of Taoism and the height of realm, no one can compare to Senior Xiang Wuhui."

"Your master is too modest." Lin Bai took another sip of wine and said, "Grandmaster Xiang once discussed Taoism with Grandmaster Gu. I was fortunate to serve him. I once heard him say that Taoist Lihuo was well versed in Taoism and was unfathomable. He had the potential to become a god."

Ying Wangtian actually nodded slightly.

"I heard that Senior Xiang Wuhui also inherited the teachings of Taoist Wuxiang." He Bingde suddenly laughed in a low voice, "This place was also left by Taoist Wuxiang. I wonder if those who get the chance can compete with Xiang Wuhui in the future."

"We cultivators cultivate ourselves and our nature in order to achieve immortality. Fighting is an inferior activity." Lin Bai spoke without any hesitation.

"Then don't take any action later." He Bingde said immediately.

"..." Lin Bai pretended not to hear and just looked at Ying Wangtian.

"It's my fault that I didn't know that Brother Zhuanlun is a rare talent." Ying Wangtian narrowed his eyes, pressed the sword on his knees, and said, "If you don't make a move, then follow me up the mountain. If there is a treasure, I will take it first, and you and Muzhen will take it next."

He made a condition.

"Brother Ying, how ridiculous!" Mu Zhen also came up at this moment. Her hairpins and skirts were torn and dirty, and blood was flowing from her face. She kept blinking her dark eyes, "The opportunity is ahead, and those with virtue will get it."

Ying Wangtian stared at Mu Zhen for a while and asked, "You are the younger generation of Mu Yao, and Mu Yao once helped my master. This time you come here, the favor has been done. But..."

His face suddenly became fierce, blood gushed out of his seven orifices, and his eyes were like torches. "I am good at listening. You thought your communication with Lin Zhuanlun was secret, but you didn't expect that I heard it all! Whore! You want to kill me, so how can I not want to kill you too?"

As he spoke, Ying Wangtian slapped the ground with his palm. In an instant, the rocks collapsed, and then he stood up.

It was as if he had become a different person. There were blood stains on Ying Wangtian's face, but he was not pale. His aura was surging. He held a sword in his left hand and a jade seal in his right hand.

Lin Bai and Mu Zhen looked at each other and thought that those who could come here were indeed not easy to deal with. They were indeed conspiring loudly.

He Bingde supported himself with the flagpole and stood up, standing behind Ying Wangtian with gloomy eyes.

Yin Yan took out two golden marbles and looked alert.

Du Changying was seriously injured, and this battle had nothing to do with him. Seeing that the situation was not good, he crawled away, his internal organs were flowing out, but he also endured it without making a sound.

"I will protect you! I just hope you will remember our friendship and ask Senior Du to accept me as his disciple after you go out!" Yin Yan grabbed Du Changying and put him behind him.

"Senior Brother Yin, you are so nice..." Du Changying forced out a few words, tears streaming down her face.

Lin Bai was still sitting cross-legged, not getting up, just pressing the gourd in front of him.

After a long time of forming the elixir, the flying knife has been recast, and Lin Bai is always looking forward to trying out the blade.

"You see, I provoked him and he is ready to fight for his life again. This time he used the secret method again, but the burden is still there, and the sword intent has not gone away. He will definitely seek a quick victory. If he cannot win quickly, how many times can he use the secret method again?" Mu Zhen forced a smile, holding the jade bottle in his hand, and kicked Lin Bai, "You go in the front."

"..." Only now did Lin Bai feel that Sister Zhen was not very reliable. Although she had a lot of things in her hands, she also had the same problems as a child of a wealthy family!

Lin Bai couldn't help but think of Sister Pei. If he had brought Sister Pei with him this time, she would probably not have said so much nonsense and would have opened the sword box and rushed in to kill him!
The mountain breeze blows, and the blood rises.

Ying Wangtian seemed to be unaffected by the rules here, and unaffected by the sword's intent. He strode forward with a sword in his hand.
