Strange Stories

Chapter 481 Killing the True Lord

The mountains and rivers here are broken, and the white clouds are in disarray.

The Holy Guardian was suspended in the air by the immortal's spell, and was sealed into the stone sculpture by the white fox's breath. Now he was unable to resist.

It was a stone statue that was still majestic and strong, tall, with a broad back and strong waist, muscular arms and legs, and vaguely visible scales of armor and tattered divine clothes on its body. Except for the head, the entire body was carved from stone, with all kinds of flower branches sticking out from it, including peaches, plums, apricots, pears, magnolias, azaleas, and tasseled chinaberries, which were quite beautiful.

That face was full of fierce anger.

The two flying swords kept spinning and cut off his head.

As one head fell, the next one quickly grew out, and then fell down in the sword light and blood.

Whether it was the idle immortals who were joining in the fun from afar, or the priests who were watching the battle from both sides, they all knew that the Protector Saint had actually been defeated, but he was still alive.

"That fellow Taoist has a firm heart!"

"The last time the world was changed, the True Lords under the previous Tianweng were not killed like this, right?"

"How many times have you been beheaded?"

"Ninety-three times!"

"Tsk tsk..."

Beheaded more than a hundred times in a row!
The two swords are so blunt!
At this time, the body of the True Lord was still there, but it was so fragile and thin that it could be blown away by a gust of wind. It would take a stick of incense for the head to grow again.

The last head grew out, still fierce, staring straight at Lin Jue in the distance:
"If I had known this would happen, when you killed my Bao'er, I should have disregarded the Heavenly Law and killed you with one lance! Even if the Heavenly Lord finds out, at least one life is exchanged for another!"

The Taoist priest stood in the air in the distance with a determined look on his face.

"Why are you speaking nonsense when you are dying? You are a great Lord of Heaven, you should have such courage, how could you fall into such a state? Kill me again!"

The two long swords were swung at each other!

"puff!"

Another head fell.

At this moment, a burst of vital light suddenly burst out from the headless stone sculpture with flower branches, even though the head had not yet grown out.

With a swish! A beam of golden light emerged and flew away at an extremely fast speed!

It’s you who’s waiting!
Lin Jue pinched his fingers and chanted a spell——

The invisible chain rushed out at an even faster speed, chasing after the golden light.

The golden light seemed to be able to sense the murderous intent from behind, and it changed its direction and angle madly. However, when the golden light turned, it also turned, when the golden light shot up into the sky, it also shot up into the sky, when the golden light escaped into the ground, it also escaped into the ground! This place has been blocked by the Black Turtle Sky Bell. It is unknown whether the Protector of the Saint in his prime could escape. Now, he certainly cannot shake it at all, so where can he escape to?

Two more!

Three chains chased together, blocking and intercepting!
The two six-tailed white foxes looked at each other, thought for a moment, and made a decision immediately. One stayed with Lin Jue, and the other flew away with twelve flying swords and two long swords that were broken and had curled blades, and chased the golden light from another direction. The sword light cut through the sky, leaving thin lines that intertwined into a cage.

"Sui Su Su Su..."

The golden light dodged three sword lights in succession, and when it was rising into the sky, it was suddenly locked by an invisible force from below!
Immediately afterwards, the body trembled twice in succession, as if two invisible chains locked it!
"The world has been sealed, and you still want to struggle to the death?"

As soon as Lin Jue thought about it, the True Lord's soul was pulled back.

"What kind of spell is this?"

"That's interesting!" The Taoist stared at him and said, "Do you know that without your indulgence, there would be no such magic in the world?"

"Humph!"

The Holy Guardian no longer had the heart to analyze the deep meaning of this, he just gritted his teeth and glared: "Why don't you do it? Do you want to hear me beg for mercy?"

One person and one soul bowed their heads at the same time——

I saw two figures below rushing straight into the sky one after another.

"True Lord!"

"True Lord! We are here to save you!"

They are the two divine generals Bifeng and Biyun.

At this time, under the tremendous force of the Armored Dragon Uncle and the siege of the generals under the command of Lord Ku Nian, their armor was incomplete, their bodies were covered with wounds, and they were in a very miserable state. Despite this scene, they still used up their last bit of strength to rush towards the sky to protect the Lord.

But what's the use?
The Taoist let out a breath:

"call……"

Before the two divine generals flew close to Lin Jue, they were blown by the spring breeze, and flowers quickly grew all over their bodies, forming two clusters of flowers.

It was visible to the naked eye that the two generals were flying slower and slower, and weaker and weaker, until they paused for a moment in the air and then fell from the sky.

When they fell into the mountain, the entire forest below was blown by the spring breeze. In this autumn, the mountains were full of blooming flowers, but they had not lost the vitality and charm like them.

"you……"

The spirit of the Holy Protector looked down and was about to speak.

The immortals and priests in the distance were also watching, wanting to see whether this Master Lin would really beat the True Lord to death.

But the Taoist's expression became serious and he made hand gestures again.

As soon as the Holy Protector uttered one word, three invisible chains immediately transformed into strong murderous intent targeting the soul. With just one exertion of force, they strangled the soul to pieces!
"Canopy..."

The spiritual light turned into scattered stars, scattered in the sky, and returned to its origin.

The breeze reappeared in the sky, and the headless stone sculpture turned into sand powder, blown away from neck to toe.

The priests of the Tianweng clan who were watching the battle were shocked and frightened, but they were also covered by the Black Turtle Sky Bell, so they had to quickly hide in the clouds. The world became completely quiet, with only the sound of the wind.

A huge six-tailed white fox below was stepping in the air, as if it was stepping on invisible stairs, running upwards, running to Lin Jue step by step.

He opened his mouth and spit out a large seal and a sword, which fell into the air and floated motionlessly.

"You are hurt……"

Lin Jue looked past the seal and sword and looked at the white fox.

"It doesn't matter to me! I'm a clone!"

The white fox looked serious as it spoke to him, then it exploded into a puff of smoke and disappeared.

Lin Jue turned his head again and looked around.

"It's a clone!"

The fox also stared at him and said to him.

"You're injured, too."

"It doesn't matter to me! I'll keep going!"

As the fox said this, it turned its head away and stopped looking at him. Instead, it ran into the air and sniffed everywhere as if looking for something.

"Cough cough..."

Lin Jue coughed and shook his head, then stretched out his hand, and the sword and the seal were in his hands.

The seal is made of precious jade. It is square and has a simple shape. There is a strange beast perched on it. When you turn it over, you can see the six words "委乾坤止风雷" engraved at the bottom in ancient characters.

Lin Jue loosened his left hand.

The sword of the Holy Guardian Lord fell from the sky, swaying slightly, and penetrated deeply into the forest below.

He put away the Wind and Thunder Seal and also took away the Black Turtle Sky Bell.

The priests from both sides who were watching the fight felt relieved. Some left, some came towards him, and those immortals who came to join in the fun either laughed out loud, were very satisfied, or flew away on their clouds, or called their friends to meet up and have a small gathering, discussing and reminiscing about the excitement of the day over a cup of wine and tea.

Only one immortal came over riding a black bear.

That was Taoist Qingxia from the Nanshan Mountain. On the day when Lin Jue became enlightened, he came to congratulate him and gave him a gift, and also presented Lin Jue with a refreshing breeze.

"Hahaha! Fellow Daoist won!"

Daoist Fellow Qingxia stopped a hundred feet away from Lin Jue, not too close. He had a calm expression and spoke in a loud voice so that everyone in the world could hear him clearly.

“I saw that you had just achieved enlightenment that day, but I never thought that you would have such great abilities!”

"Thank you for your praise, senior. There are thousands of skills in the world, and I can only fight with magic." Lin Jue returned the greeting with a humble and weak tone.

"What a magic! What a magical power!"

"I was born in a bad year when I became an immortal. The world was in decline and chaos, and the gods were corrupted and fighting each other. I was forced to exorcise demons and fight with gods and humans. I had no choice." Lin Jue shook his head and said, "If I could become an immortal as smoothly and leisurely as my predecessors and live forever, who would want to do that?"

"You are so modest..."

Taoist Qingxia shook his head and asked again, "Did you choose the side of Emperor Yujian?"

"That's not the case." Lin Jue didn't know whether he came to ask this on purpose or was simply curious. Anyway, he asked at the right time, and Lin Jue felt a little grateful in his heart. "It's just that on my way to becoming a true god, I saw with my own eyes that the Protector of the Saint allowed his mount, the leopard, to descend to the mortal world as a demon, causing chaos and claiming to be a king, harming countless people. I killed this demon and became enemies with him. Later, as a god, he prevented me from becoming a true god and sought revenge on me, so I also specially found an opportunity to settle this grudge with him."

"Haha! I see!"

Taoist Qingxia didn't talk much. He just said hello and sat on Black Bear and left with a smile.

Lin Jue was staring at his figure and also at the departing immortals.

These immortals live freely and comfortably.

They usually live in caves deep in the mountains, practicing meditation and recuperation. When the heaven and earth change and humans and gods fight each other, they come out to watch the fun. Be it the fight between gods or the changes in the world, it seems to have nothing to do with them. They are not troubled by fame, wealth and power, nor worried about hunger and survival. Of course, no gods will bother them.

Being free from disputes, not involved in trivial matters, being unrestrained and unhindered, living forever and freely, what else could this be if not the immortal that people in the world yearn for?
From the beginning of Lin Jue's practice of Taoism until now, what he has actually been seeking is this kind of freedom and ease.

"..."

Lin Jue shook his head and flew down to the human world, with the sound of the breeze filling his ears.

He took back the bean soldiers and went away again.

At the top of a distant mountain, it was quite a distance away from the previous mountain, but Master Jiang had come here to watch the battle. Lin Jue took a cloud of mountain mist from the mountains and stopped at the edge of the cliff to look at her:

"You've made a wasted trip, fellow Daoist."

The female Taoist priest below said calmly: "It's best if it's useless."

"I am going to return the Black Turtle Sky Bell to Lord Kunian. How should I leave, fellow Taoist?"

"You come down the same way you came up."

Following her gaze, there was only a steep path on the top of the mountain, with few traces of people, and just now there was a trace of someone's footsteps.

"I'll give fellow Taoist a ride."

Lin Jue stretched out his hand and a mountain wind blew over.

The mountain breeze still brought with it a wisp of mist, which blew up some fallen leaves and the Taoist priest, and went down the mountain.

Lin Jue also rode on the cloud to see whether the arrogant Lord Ku Nian had won.
