New and dark light years

Chapter 170 The golden cicada escapes from its shell
Seeing the woman appear beside Li Lin, Xiao Chunzhu felt her scalp tingle.

He didn't even need to look; he knew this woman was a sly one.

Or rather, he is a domesticated true master.

Lianhua and his fellow disciple merely frowned slightly, not showing the same level of fear as Xiao Chunzhu.

Li Lin said, "Yan Jing, you help Xiao Chunzhu deal with that shrew, and leave this golden lump to me."

At the same time, Li Lin shouted to those around him, "Everyone, spread out. There's no need to make contact with these two criminals. Just surround the intersection and prevent them from escaping."

The yamen runners and local militia readily complied and immediately retreated more than ten steps.

However, the archer's arrows were still aimed at the two criminals.

Lianhua looked at the retreating 'miscellaneous soldiers' around her, then smiled at Li Lin and said, "The county magistrate is truly a good official. He actually dared to face us two brothers directly and protect our lives."

Li Lin said calmly, "I am confident that I can deal with you, so naturally I don't need any more casualties."

“County Commandant, you have only achieved minor mastery of spear technique,” ​​Lianhua smiled. “This humble monk has achieved mastery of the Vajra Body; you are no match for me.”

"We'll only know after we fight it," Li Lin said with a smile.

After saying that, he thrust out with his spear.

Lotus transformed into a golden right palm, which she thrust forward, a faint golden string resonating within her palm.

The tip of the gun struck the opponent's palm.

when!
A crisp sound, like metal striking a large yellow bell, rang out.

Li Lin took three steps back, while Lianhua withdrew her palm and looked at her own palm.

There was a small cut there, a tiny wound, but black, oil-like blood was slowly seeping out.

His expression faltered for a moment, then he looked at Li Lin and said solemnly, "County Commandant, you are quite extraordinary."

Li Lin didn't waste words with him. He activated his Lightness Technique, and like a leaf swirling in a breeze, his figure rose and fell around the lotus flower. Each turn or change of direction was accompanied by a thrust of his spear.

Li Lin's lightness technique has now reached a high level of mastery through diligent training.

Therefore, his figure is particularly graceful and agile.

Lianhua had no way to accurately catch Li Lin's change of direction, and could only use her hands to keep blocking the spikes.

As a result, the wounds on his palms increased, and soon his entire palms were covered with open wounds.

Now, every time he swings his palms, black blood sprays out.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chunzhu was also locked in combat with the skinny man.

However, the opponent's skill was extremely high, and each time he tried to stab, he was unable to pierce the opponent's skin.

Li Yanjing watched for a while, then covered her mouth with her water sleeve and laughed, "If you help me freeze him for ten breaths, I can kill him."

"really?"

Even though Xiao Chunzhu was quite afraid of Li Yanjing, she still asked.

Li Yanjing smiled but didn't say anything.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Chunzhu gritted his teeth, sheathed the forked twin swords in his hands, and then put a pair of iron claws on each of his hands.

Then pounce on him again.

The skinny man threw out two punches, but Xiao Chunzhu's claws hooked strangely onto his arms. Then, using the momentum, she flipped over and landed behind him. Next, her iron claws gripped the skinny man's arms, and small iron hooks extended from the tips of her shoes to hold his legs.

The two of them then rolled on the ground.

Although the skinny man was restrained, he roared and struggled to break free with his hands and legs.

Xiao Chunzhu's legs and claws were being slowly 'spread out'.

At this moment, Xiao Chunzhu's face was flushed: "Hurry up, I can only hold on for about ten breaths."

As he spoke, his clothes began to tear little by little, and his muscles bulged out.

Li Yanjing stretched out her left hand, towards the thin man's body.

A ball of red light shone in her palm. Ahhhhh!

Xiao Chunzhu held her breath and shouted, the veins on her forehead bulging.

His strength seemed inferior to that of the skinny man, and with a "pop" sound, a blood vessel close to the skin of his right leg burst, spurting out a mist of blood.

They were on the verge of collapse.

But at that moment, a pulsating, black heart suddenly appeared in Li Yanjing's hand.

"It's done!"

Xiao Chunzhu felt that the person she was struggling with suddenly went limp and lost all strength.

He quickly rolled over, stepped aside, and gasped for breath.

Then he saw the black heart in Li Yanjing's hand and subconsciously felt a chill run down his spine.

The ability to silently rip out someone's heart from a great distance is truly terrifying.

The thin man's body trembled a few times, then he stopped moving, his eyes fixed on the sky, unclosed.

"Junior brother!"

Lianhua roared angrily from the side.

He flipped his palms over and pushed them towards Li Lin.

A terrifying burst of energy erupted forth.

For ordinary martial artists, such energy is terrifying.

However, the lightness technique of "Thirteen Willow Catkins" is a natural counter to this kind of wide-range qigong attack.

Just like the wind... the wind can blow the leaves out, but it can't hurt them.

Li Lin used the momentum to retreat and float away.

Lianhua rushed to the thin man's side, picked him up, and looked at him with grief in her eyes.

Seeing this, Li Yanjing threw away the heart in her hand and then, without leaving a trace, a ball of red light appeared in the palm of her hand as she looked at Lianhua.

This time it didn't work. Lianhua simply turned her body slightly, and the red light in Li Yanjing's hand disappeared.

Li Yanjing shook her head helplessly. This trick was very useful, but it also had many limitations.

Li Lin used his lightness technique to float back again.

He pointed his spear at the other man and said, "Surrender."

Lianhua slowly stood up: "My lord, do you know that you have made a grave mistake?"

"I don't think so."

"The extraterrestrial demons have appeared in the world. Although their whereabouts are still unknown, this is already a certainty." Lianhua stood up, looked at Li Lin, made a Buddhist gesture with one hand, and gently twirled the prayer beads in his right hand: "There are not many people in this world who can deal with the extraterrestrial demons. Our Ksitigarbha Masters are a kind of lineage. Now that you have killed your junior brother, our strength to deal with the extraterrestrial demons will be reduced."

"It sucks the lifeblood of ordinary people and causes them to die... We don't need such power."

"Without us, the extraterrestrial demons would have killed even more people in the future." Lianhua looked at the thin man on the ground, her eyes filled with sadness: "The number of the dead would be numerous, perhaps even hundreds of thousands, or even millions. Why can't you understand how to make the right choice!"

Li Lin snorted: "I don't care about any extraterrestrial demons. I only know that they are my subjects, and I have an obligation to protect them, catch the murderers for them, and seek justice for them. It's that simple. There's no need to overcomplicate it."

Lianhua snorted: "A woman's kindness will not lead to great things."

“I don’t need to achieve great things.” Li Lin slowly stepped forward: “I only know that you are also an accomplice, and you deserve to die too.”

"I'll remember that." Lianhua looked at the wounds all over her hands, then at Li Yanjing who was walking over from the side: "County Commandant, you win this time, but we'll meet again someday."

After saying this, Lianhua sat cross-legged on the ground.

Then his head drooped, and he remained motionless.

Li Yanjing watched for a while and then said, "He's gone."

Xiao Chunzhu looked gloomy: "The Golden Cicada Shedding Its Shell Technique is one of the signature techniques of Master Ksitigarbha. Not many people can master it successfully."
