New and dark light years

Chapter 215 Another 300 Rounds
Hearing Master Kurong's words, Li Lin laughed and said, "It seems that the Buddhist sect is planning to join forces with Qin the rebel. Aren't you afraid of being found out by the authorities?"

Master Kurong chuckled indifferently and said, "I am indeed afraid, but some things cannot be delayed any longer. Besides, you have all joined the Qin King's ranks, so the government will not know."

Li Lin looked out of the woods; no one from the Taoist side had come in, so they must have lost.

It's unclear whether they were completely wiped out or driven away.

Then Li Lin withdrew his gaze and said, "How about letting these friends from the martial world leave, Master? Let them go, and I will go with you."

Those in the martial arts world looked at Li Lin with suspicion or unease upon hearing this.

Master Kurong's face froze for a moment, then turned gloomy.

He certainly couldn't let these people go.

They are all people needed for the pledge of loyalty, and they are all part of the karma of their Buddhist practice; how can they be let go?

This man is not on the pledge of allegiance.

Whether he exists or not, it makes no difference to the overall situation of Buddhism.

Thinking of this, Master Kurong smiled and said, "If County Magistrate Li is willing to bind his own hands, we will naturally release all our fellow martial artists."

Li Lin laughed and said, "No, I don't trust your Shaolin Temple. Release them first, and I'll tie my own hands."

"The Shaolin Temple has a thousand-year-old reputation..."

"I am an official!"

With just one sentence, Li Lin refuted the other party's sophistry.

Master Kurong closed his eyes slightly, but when he opened them, he had already rushed forward.

Sneak attack!

He was incredibly fast; in the blink of an eye, he was already about ten feet in front of Li Lin.

Then came a blow from a Sikkim monk's staff.

The two were clearly a zhang apart, but a phantom image appeared on the Sikkim staff, instantly lengthening it to a zhang.

But at that moment, a purple spear thrust out and blocked the monk's staff.

Then the weapons on both sides kept changing positions and quickly appeared in another location.

The afterimages in the air were endless.

The energy that was stirred up reverberated around the two of them.

Neither of them moved; however, in the space between them, the shadow of the gun and the illusory image of Zen Power kept colliding.

Amidst the gusts of wind and waves, their expressions grew increasingly solemn.

About ten breaths later, Li Lin took a step back and wiped away the blood beads that had come out of his mouth.

Master Kurong's face was deathly pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Although he did not retreat, everyone could see that he seemed to be more seriously injured.

Because sometimes, having time to wipe the blood out of your mouth gives you more leeway.

At this moment, two old monks came up and flanked Master Kurong on either side to prevent his body from swaying.

Master Kurong closed his eyes and said, "Heroes emerge from among the young. This old monk has lost. I admire you, I admire you."

Everyone stared at Li Lin in surprise.

Master Kurong is a renowned expert in the martial arts world.

Although not the most elite fighter, he was still a second-rate martial artist, or, in official terms, a fifth-rank expert.

However, Master Kurong then laughed and said, "But County Lieutenant Li, you no longer have a spear. Why don't you come with us?"

His eyes were full of smugness.

In fact, from the very beginning, Master Kurong knew that he could at most fight Li Lin to a draw.

Because the moment they clashed, he knew that his opponent's mastery of spear intent was 'strange'.

Although he has only just entered the Great Completion stage, his vital energy is astonishingly abundant and very 'heavy'!
I wonder what kind of cultivation technique the other party practices, it's so powerful.

If the opponent is using a normal long spear, he is most likely already doomed to lose.

However, the fact that the other party was using a paper gun gave him an opportunity.

He deliberately used a lot of 'smashing' techniques, forcefully hammering Li Lin's paper spear until it was full of 'cracks'.

At this moment, the paper spear in Li Lin's hand indeed turned into paper scraps, just as Master Kurong had said.

There were no more intact paper spears around.

Li Lin looked around at the martial arts practitioners: "Is anyone willing to lend me their spear?"

Of the more than one hundred people, naturally some of them were armed.

But... no one was willing to throw their spear to Li Lin.

They believed that they also needed weapons for self-defense.

What will they use if they give it to Li Lin?
Seeing that the martial arts practitioners remained motionless, Master Kuru smiled even more broadly. "County Lieutenant Li, please..."

But at that moment, Li Lin heard a rustling sound behind him.

Then, a paper figure with a human body and a snake's tail came to Li Lin's side.

Everyone recognized that this was the paper figure they had rescued earlier, the one who had been hiding a mother and child in a shroud.

It left a deep impression on me because it was so special.

But Master Kurong didn't see it; he arrived later.

Upon seeing the Tree Fairy, his eyes widened slightly: "What kind of demon is this... a paper figure? How can a paper figure possess such evil energy!"

The Tree Fairy ignored Master Ku Rong; she was still dragging a large piece of paper in her hand.

Then, she crumpled and rolled the large piece of paper, and it became a paper spear.

Compared to the previous paper spear, it is longer and thicker.

She placed the spear horizontally in front of Li Lin.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Lin picked up the paper spear and said with a smile, "Monk, how about we play a second round?"

Master Kurong did not speak, but the two old monks beside him stepped forward.

“Esteemed benefactor…this time, the two of us will spar with you. Please enlighten us.”

"Two against one, that's not fair."

But the two old monks ignored them and pressed forward together.

Just then, a gust of wind swept by.

The long snake tail forced the two old monks to stop.

Just as the Tree Fairy Goddess was about to step forward, Li Lin reached out and stopped her: "Your Majesty, they are living people. You are currently enjoying the incense offerings at the True Lord Temple. Killing people will not be good for your soul. You should go back and help me protect those two people."

The Tree Fairy Goddess stared at him intently, her expression somewhat stubborn.

Li Lin said sternly, "Be good, listen to me."

The Tree Fairy was both angry and helpless. Finally, she slapped her long snake tail hard on the ground before turning and leaving.

With the departure of the Tree Fairy, the atmosphere immediately became more relaxed.

After all, the appearance of the Tree Fairy Goddess is rather 'eerie' to many people.

Li Lin looked around and said, "Fellow martial arts practitioners, I will help you keep Master Kurong and the two old monks occupied. As for whether you leave or not, whether you want to escape or not, that's up to you."

After saying that, Li Lin slapped a yellow talisman onto his body.

Then he rushed up.

This time, Li Lin unleashed his full power, wielding a paper spear over ten feet long, creating streaks of purple shadows.

Each phantom was almost three zhang long, appearing even more magnificent in the darkness.

Master Kurong and the two old monks were forced to retreat step by step.

"How could it be so...powerful!"

The three old monks fought desperately, but could only defend and were unable to attack.

Three feet to one foot... the advantage is mine.

After parrying more than ten times, an old monk was knocked away by the spear and coughed up blood.

At this moment, the martial arts world finally made its move.

Ji Feng gave Li Lin a deep look, then led the Qingcheng Sect to rush out first.

In fact, when people in the martial arts world see someone taking the lead, they rush out without saying a word.

Master Kurong blocked another spear thrust, took two steps back, and roared, "Stop them! These men are for the King of Qin!"

And if these martial arts figures really escape, then... the reputation of Shaolin Temple will be in trouble.

Upon hearing this, the martial arts practitioners charged even faster.

They didn't engage in direct confrontation, but instead seized every opportunity to run away, throwing a few darts before turning and slipping away.

Although the overall strength of the martial arts practitioners was far inferior to that of the twenty-odd masters from Shaolin Temple, it was still very difficult to intercept more than a hundred people who were determined to escape.

After Li Lin sent the old monk flying with a single shot, he himself retreated sharply.

He would never dedicate himself to these江湖人 (jianghu people).

I helped them just now only to prevent the Shaolin Temple people from having enough manpower to attack me.

To put it bluntly, these江湖人 (jianghu people, people from the martial arts world) are also his bait.

When Master Kurong saw Li Lin run away, he shouted angrily, "Lieutenant Li, if you have the guts, come back and fight this old monk for another three hundred rounds..."
