The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 285 Putting the Knife Away
He Bingde no longer made any sound. A faint flame ignited on his body, burning him and Ying Wangtian into dust.

At this time, the setting sun was over the mountain, dyeing the sky blood red.

Mu Zhen waved his sleeves, and a breeze blew up. The dust of Ying and He was scattered in the wind, and no one knew where it landed.

He waved and took the storage rings from the two people, and did not take anything else.

Mu Zhen examined the storage ring and saw that there was a restriction, so he threw it to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai took it and examined it carefully.

The so-called restriction is also a kind of formation, but it uses the consciousness of a Jindan cultivator as a bridge. Now that the owner of the storage ring is dead, it can only be broken by force.

After thinking for a while, Lin Bai opened it.

After looking through it, I found that there were quite a lot of good things. In addition to various kinds of elixirs, there were also talismans, tokens and other things.

However, if you take these things out, you will suffer misfortune. The great opportunity is ahead, so there is no need to be greedy for these things.

"Didn't you find the letter from Fairy Lu?" Blood was oozing out of Mu Zhen's face again, but she was still smiling.

"No." Lin Bai answered honestly and threw the two storage rings aside.

"Have you slept with her?" Mu Zhen suddenly asked.

"She and I are enemies, not friends." Lin Bai frowned seriously.

"Really? Why do I feel like you and her are different?" Mu Zhen smiled, "So, have you slept with her?"

"No." Lin Bai replied.

Mu Zhen tilted her head slightly, looking at Lin Bai, and finally believed it, but still said: "It seems that she wants to sleep with you!"

"Sister Zhen, we are seeking the truth, how can we only care about the bed?" Lin Bai immediately refuted.

"Not bad." Mu Zhen actually agreed. "But after spending time together day and night, and going through life and death together, you respect my ability, and I admire your ability. With mutual appreciation, it's natural for us to end up in bed."

She nodded her chin, "Didn't you trick Pei Ning into getting him this way?"

"Sister Zhen, even if Pei Ning and I don't have a bed, we are still friends for life and death, and are worthy of being entrusted with your affairs after your death." Lin Bai explained in a serious tone.

"This is the difference between Lu Qingyin and Pei Ning. Pei Ning follows you wholeheartedly, but that Lu Fairy went far away, just because you slept with one and not the other." Mu Zhen smiled.

"What's the solution?" Lin Bai really didn't understand.

"Remember, the passage through the deepest part of a woman's heart is..." Mu Zhen leaned close to Lin Bai's ear, whispered and smiled, which was a bit coquettish and a bit shy.

Lin Bai held his forehead with his hand and asked, "What about you?"

"Of course I am attracted by your ability to turn the wheel." Mu Zhen shed her shyness, leaving only her coquettishness.

"If it weren't for the great road ahead, I would have stripped you of your clothes long ago!" Lin Bai was provoked by her.

"Come on!" Mu Zhen raised his head and put one hand on his waist.

Lin Bai ignored her and walked towards the top of the mountain.

"You little pervert, I don't know how many people you have slept with behind my back!" Mu Zhen cursed and hurriedly followed.

At this time, the two men had gone through a fierce battle. Although they were not seriously injured, they had consumed a lot of energy and spiritual power.

Now, the closer he got to the top of the mountain, the heavier the burden he felt. The sword intent in his body could no longer be suppressed. It not only invaded his tendons and bones, but also broke out of his body. His skin was covered with small wounds, and drops of blood were flowing out. The momentum was difficult to stop.

Lin Bai had the power of the Twelve Rotations of the Primordial Realm, so he could still hold on. But Mu Zhen had already stopped after every step, which was extremely difficult.

"Yin Yan first used the secret method to burn his life and trap others, and then activated the pearl pill, which backfired and exhausted him. Just now he forced himself to fly to the top of the mountain. His burden is heavier than ours, and I'm afraid he is in great danger."

Lin Bai's feeling of good fortune became stronger, and his bad intentions faded a lot. The stone tablet hanging around his neck became warmer, as if he was returning to his hometown.

"It seems that Mo Yingcheng and the others can't catch up. He is wise. I'm afraid he has already understood what I said just now and is only focused on serving your goddaughter." Mu Zhen turned his head and looked towards the vast mountain below, but saw only clouds and mist, and no one in sight.

The two said no more and continued to climb to the top of the mountain.

Although Yin Yan had almost no strength left to fight, the two of them were still on guard to prevent any unexpected changes.

The mountain road was rugged and winding, with rocks and trees everywhere. After walking for two quarters of an hour, the two men finally saw the top of the mountain in sight.

Yin Yan was indeed a man of great perseverance. At the moment, he was lying on the mountain path, his body covered with wounds, blood stuck to dust and gravel, but he was still climbing forward, leaving a long bloody trail.

"Mine! Mine! All mine!" Seeing that Lin Mu and the other two were more than ten feet away, Yin Yan shouted vigorously and moved forward desperately.

The bones are still visible in his hands, and there is only hatred in his one eye.

Mu Zhen was already at the end of his rope, but he was just holding on with all his might.

Lin Bai was not feeling well either. The sword intent was destroying his body, and his muscles, bones, and internal organs seemed to be shattered. The extremely subtle yet endless sense of destruction was like a millstone, grinding away his flesh, blood, muscles, bones, and even his cultivation and consciousness.

"He had already exhausted all his strength, but he was able to hold on until here relying only on his determination to pursue the truth. It's truly admirable." Mu Zhen was breathing heavily, and her entire body, even the skirt she was wearing, was dyed red.

There was a slight dullness in her eyes, but also a sense of vigour and vitality.

"Since I left home, I have never been injured like this, experienced such things, and met such people." Mu Zhen bent over, unable to support himself, and crawled forward on the ground. "This time my state of mind has improved, and the trip is worth it."

She smiled at Lin Bai and continued, "Lin Zhuanlun, I always thought there were very few people like me in the world. But the more I see, the more I feel that even if you and I are blessed by heaven, there are still many people who are as good as you and me. Not to mention, there are many people whose state of mind, endurance, and even desire to seek the truth are better than you and me."

Mu Zhen looked back at the mountains below, "Uncle Mu Yao once told me that the more you see, the more you respect Chen Zhiyuan. I was not convinced before, but now I am somewhat convinced."

"This is because you climbed a high mountain. Not only your realm and vision have risen, but your state of mind has also risen." Lin Bai said with a smile.

"You are so good at making people happy. Even if you sleep with Gu Qingshui in the future, I will think it's normal." Mu Zhen said.

"..." Lin Bai didn't respond. He raised the gourd and took a sip of the wine. Then he bent down and put the mouth of the gourd close to Mu Zhen's mouth.

After taking a sip of blood, Mu Zhen gritted his teeth and continued to crawl forward, "Don't worry about me, just keep moving forward!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and continued forward to chase Yin Yan.

At this moment, Yin Yan was in front and Mu Zhen was behind, both of them were climbing on the ground, the former was slow and the latter was fast.

Lin Bai was the only one who could still stand firmly, but he felt that each step was heavier than the last, so he could only walk slowly.

Another quarter of an hour later, Yin Yan had actually climbed to the platform at the top of the mountain.

Lin Bai followed closely behind, following the bloody path that Yin Yan had climbed, and finally reached the top.

The top of the mountain was vast, but there was no strong wind. There was a plum tree growing on it, not very tall, and no one knew how long it would live.

However, the tree canopy is so vast that it covers most of the mountain top.

There are stone men under the tree, each sitting on a stone bench. There is a stone table between the two men, and they are playing chess.

Lin Bai took a breath and took another sip of wine.

There is no strong wind on the top of the mountain, but the feeling of being burdened is even stronger, and the sword intent is even more violent.

It's like carrying the world on its back and supporting countless stars on its shoulders.

It seemed as if his feet were stepping on endless destructive sword intent, as if at any moment his body would turn into nothingness and become a speck of dust between heaven and earth.

The pain was so intense that it seemed to crush all of his flesh, blood, tendons and bones.

When Lin Bai first started practicing Hun Yuan, he also went through a lot of pain, but compared to what he felt now, the pain was nothing compared to what he felt now.

Yin Yan is three steps ahead, within reach.

At this moment, Yin Yan was not dead yet. No one knew whether it was because of the determination to seek the truth in his heart or because of something wrong with his body, but he was still struggling to crawl forward on the ground, staring straight at the two stone elephants under the plum tree in front of him with his one eye.

Soon, Yin Yanna's hands, which had been worn out to the point of bones, turned into dust bit by bit, starting from the fingertips.

"Brother Yin, the road ahead is the Heavenly Road, and the sword power is even stronger than the way we came." Lin Bai reminded. "How can you climb the Heavenly Road without any injuries or pain?" Yin Yan's voice was hoarse, as if it was covered with rust, but he kept moving forward.

Soon, his fingers were worn away bit by bit, and the bones and flesh seemed to be wiped out, leaving no trace of dust.

Yin Yan continued to move forward, and his right hand disappeared little by little, leaving only his wrist, but not even a drop of blood was shed.

"It's harder than climbing to the sky." Mu Zhen also climbed up and reminded, "Yin Yan, your method is wrong."

"Wrong?" Yin Yan really stopped, lying on the ground and looking back, looking at Lin Mu and the other two who were only three or five steps away from him. There was no fear on his face, but he said disdainfully: "You two are a hundred times better than me, but in terms of the heart of seeking the truth, I, Yin Yan, am no worse than you!"

“Brother Yin, your determination to prove the Great Dao is admirable, but this place is definitely not something that a Jindan realm can withstand.”

Lin Bai took another sip of wine, looked at the two stone statues under the plum tree, and said, "Besides, the heart of seeking the truth is not the heart of seeking death. Brother Yin, there is obviously no way ahead, but you are still obsessed with moving forward. Are you seeking death? Or seeking the truth?"

Yin Yan was stunned, then he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood with disdain on his face, and said: "You don't know how difficult it is for me to seek the truth, so how can you know how determined I am to seek the truth?"

As he spoke, he continued to crawl forward. Both his hands were gone, wiped out by the endless sense of destruction.

Yin Yan endured the heavy load and the sword intent, stared at the two people under the plum tree with one eye, and moved forward with difficulty.

"How?" Mu Zhen looked at Lin Bai and asked if there was any method.

"What about you?" Lin Bai asked back.

"The sword will has faded over the years, and its power has been eroded, only one percent of it remains. However, most of the remaining sword will has gathered at the top of the mountain, which is also a high mountain for us."

Mu Zhen gritted his teeth, forced himself to stand up, and took out the bronze bowl again.

She took a deep breath, and the copper bowl began to glow faintly, slowly covering the area three steps around her, covering Lin Bai as well.

"In my opinion, it won't last long." Mu Zhen looked at the bronze bowl with distress.

"We have to give it a try." Lin Bai said.

Mu Zhen nodded, stepped forward, and Lin Bai followed.

Seeing that Lin Mu and the other man had magic weapons to protect themselves, Yin Yan became even more anxious. He hissed, stretched out his broken arm, and advanced with his legs.

The copper bowl's defense was extremely strong and it actually blocked most of the sword intent. Although the intent of destruction was still boiling inside and outside his body, he was able to hold it back.

Soon, the two were on the same level as Yin Yan. The light emitted by the bronze bowl became dimmer, but the two were not like Yin Yan, whose limbs were wiped out by the destructive sword intent.

Passing Yin Yan, the light of the copper bowl became dimmer. The blood stains on Mu Zhen's face could not cover up the paleness.

She stopped and her whole body made slight crackling sounds, followed by countless blood gushing out.

Mu Zhen finally couldn't hold on any longer and knelt on one knee on the ground, holding the copper bowl with one hand, his eyes covered with blood, "It's no use!"

"Hahaha!" Yin Yan laughed at this. "This is a dead end. All your magical powers are useless. If you force the magic weapon, you will hurt yourself! Haha, what can you do?"

Yin Yan continued to crawl forward, and most of his arms had disappeared.

"Brother Yin, you attacked us two earlier, and you could say it was for the sake of seeking opportunities. Now the situation has reversed, but even though we have become mortal enemies, we two have never laughed at your desire to seek the truth. Instead, we have always respected you. Why are you mocking us now? Brother Yin, have you ever thought that the reason you have failed to achieve the great truth is because you have a bad character?" Lin Bai said.

"..." Yin Yan was stunned, then his face turned fierce again, and he said: "If you want to kill me, then kill me! Why should I be afraid?"

"You were kneeling down to beg for mercy just now, but now you are speaking harsh words." Lin Bai was also very disdainful, "I respect your determination to seek the truth, so I will not kill you yet. I will wait until you see that I have taken the opportunity, and then I will take action!"

Blood gushed out of Yin Yan's mouth. He did not crawl forward but sat up instead. He glanced at his broken arm with his one eye and then stared at Lin Bai gloomily.

"Now the sea is boundless and the mountain is topless, let's see what you can do!" Yin Yan squeezed out a sentence.

"The sea is boundless and the sky is the shore, the mountain is high and I am the peak." Lin Bai held the black gourd in his hand and stepped forward.

"Don't be provoked by him!" Mu Zhen said hurriedly.

Lin Bai ignored it. Once he left the protection of the bronze bowl, he felt like he was trapped in an endless sea of ​​fire and fell into a bottomless abyss.

His entire body seemed to be torn into dust inside and out; not only his flesh, blood, and bones, but even his mind had melted into nothingness.

Previously, every time Yin Yan climbed a little, his fingers were worn away. Now, Lin Bai's Twelve Turns of the Hun Yuan had made great achievements, but every step forward was extremely difficult.

There was no part of his body left intact, flesh and blood fell off bit by bit, and then turned into dust. His bones were full of cracks, and his internal organs seemed to be crumpled into a ball.

Even the golden elixir seemed unstable, as if it was being pulled by some great way and would dissipate at any time, returning to the great way and the world.

After walking forward for ninety-nine steps, Lin Bai knew that his body was on the verge of collapse. If he walked any further, his golden elixir would shatter before he was wiped out by the endless destructive sword intent.

The stone statue under the plum tree was only a dozen feet away, but he could not move forward any further.

Lin Bai sat cross-legged and examined himself. Bones were visible everywhere on his limbs, and his internal organs were riddled with holes.

Looking inward, the black and white golden elixir that separated yin and yang was extremely violent, as if it would explode or dissipate at any time.

"He is in a dilemma!" Yin Yan opened his one eye wide and swallowed a pill.

"He is fighting towards death, looking for a way out. What are you waiting for?" Mu Zhen turned around and glanced at Yin Yan with a mocking look on his face.

"..." Yin Yan was stunned. He knew that Mu Zhen's words meant that he was doomed to die, so he ignored it.

Mu Zhen held the copper bowl in his hand and looked at Lin Bai again.

At this time, she was already a hundred steps away from Lin Bai and could only see him sitting cross-legged with his back to her.

"What are you going to do?" Mu Zhen asked loudly.

"Imitate the method of Taoist Master Wuxiang." Lin Bai replied.

"What to imitate? How to imitate?" Yin Yan immediately asked in confusion.

"Do you need any help?" Mu Zhen knew that Lin Bai had been thinking about the endless destructive sword intent here, and wanted to lead a trace of it into the mysterious gourd.

"Let me try it first." Lin Bai replied with a smile.

After saying this, Lin Bai closed his eyes, put his hand on the gourd, and stared at the stone statue under the plum tree in front of him for a moment.

When we got to the top of the stone plate, we saw the fog rolling and violent. A wisp of green in it seemed unstable, as if it would be stirred at any time.

The moonlight disappeared in an instant, engulfed by the fog.

Countless stars in the fog seemed to have lost their trajectories, and were enveloped in endless darkness.

After recovering slightly and stabilizing his consciousness, Lin Bai opened his eyes and tapped the gourd lightly.

Flying knives flew out one after another, without any trace of burning fire or pure sword intent. They just circled around Lin Bai as usual.

"Are you trying to suppress the sword intent? Don't you know that the person who draws the sword must be a great being of the same level as the Taoist Master Wuxiang, and is already close to the Tao. Do you really want to compete with the Heavenly Dao?" Yin Yan looked at the flying knives in the sky and was confused.

Mu Zhen was too lazy to say anything. He just sat down cross-legged, held the copper bowl in his hand, swallowed a handful of pills, and waited quietly.

After a long time, the flying knife was still circling, but it could only hover around Lin Bai. It was extremely difficult to spread outward.

After waiting for another hour, Mu Zhen noticed that the flying knife was showing signs of instability.

Then a mist appeared and covered Lin Bai, and the flying knife also disappeared into it.

There was no wind on the top of the mountain, all under the canopy of plum trees.

“If we follow the method of Taoist Wuxiang, we should first move the blade, which requires the Great Way of Space, and then use the Great Way of Time to wipe out most of the power. Finally, we can suppress this blade that seems to be able to destroy the world and cut off time and the stars.”

Mu Zhen murmured something, and suddenly he felt the mist tremble slightly, as if there were twinkling stars, and then he heard the sound of waves hitting the shore.

But she was too badly injured, and when she listened carefully, she could only hear the faint chirping of cicadas.
