New and dark light years

Chapter 266 The Effects of Dragon Qi

Li Yanjing's face looked very pale at this moment.

She was trapped.

Trapped in a small golden bowl.

He became a 'little person' and couldn't move.

There was no way for them to go back and inform Li Lin.

The person holding the golden bowl was dressed entirely in black and had his face covered.

But Li Yanjing knew very well that this person was definitely from the Buddhist sect. Both the golden bowl that trapped her and the intense aura of the sun emanating from his body proved his identity.

At this moment, the group of men in black surrounded several prison vans.

Next to the prison cart, more than a dozen constables lay unconscious.

"Hurry up, although the Heavenly Sound Technique can use the rainy night to cover the sound, my energy is not enough."

"If this female ghost hadn't suddenly appeared, we wouldn't have wasted so much time."

"However, it can be considered a gain. This female ghost is beautiful and intelligent, which can help us in our cultivation."

Almost all the men in black laughed.

They used their strength to smash the cages holding the five monks from Kongji Temple, and then said, "Alright, let's go. Third Brother, prepare to withdraw the Heavenly Sound Technique."

"it is good!"

"Wait!" The man in black holding the golden bowl suddenly looked into the darkness not far away: "Friend, come out."

A young man appeared in the rain, raindrops falling on his face and running down his back. Although he was soaked to the bone, he gave off an even more imposing aura.

Little Li Yanjing clung to the edge of the golden bowl, peering out.

Although she couldn't get out, she could still sense what was happening outside. At this moment, her eyes were glazed over as she thought, "My man is so impressive."

A dozen or so men in black appeared to be on high alert.

Li Lin held his spear horizontally: "Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving."

At this moment, a group of soldiers appeared behind Li Lin. These soldiers reacted quickly and surrounded all of them.

"Isn't there the Heavenly Sound Technique?" one of the men in black asked his companion. "How did they find out?"

“This female ghost is related to the Paper Prince, of course I know.”

The man in black holding the golden bowl looked at the soldiers around him and said, "Young Master Paper, it's better to resolve enmity than to let it fester. You all take a step back, let me take a few people with me, and I'll return the woman in this bowl to you, how about it?"

Li Lin laughed: "I am an official, these are prisoners. You are trying to break up the prisoners, and you dare to say that we should each take a step back? Where is your shame?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the soldiers in front of him squatted down, holding their spears at an angle with their heads resting on the ground.

Then the archers behind them began to draw their bows.

"Ignore the prisoners, shoot them directly, kill them without mercy!"

As Li Lin's cold voice fell, he stepped back, his body disappearing into the ranks of the soldiers.

A hail of arrows rained down.

Seeing Li Lin's decisiveness, the man in black holding the golden bowl shouted, "Charge out first!"

A dozen or so people immediately leaped high into the air.

They were all quite powerful, using lightness techniques to turn in mid-air and deflect incoming arrows with their hands or weapons.

The first volley of arrows struck, and almost no one was injured.

And this is exactly what Li Lin was hoping for.

He hid among the soldiers, blocking the view of the men in black, while his hands rapidly formed hand seals.

His lightning strike spell had reached a high level of mastery, and he could cast it very quickly.

Although it's still a bit slow for experts.

But it's nighttime now, and it's a rainy night.

Rainy days make it easier to cast lightning spells, especially during heavy rain.

A bolt of purple lightning fell from the black clouds, and the lightning vaguely resembled the shape of a dragon.

The lightning was extremely fast, striking the man in black who was still in mid-air.

Li Lin specifically targeted the enemy who was holding the golden bowl.

The man screamed and fell from the sky. The golden bowl first emitted a blinding golden light, but it disappeared in an instant and fell to the ground, rolled to the side, and got covered in mud and water.

Freed from the holder's control, Li Yanjing escaped from the golden bowl. She immediately returned to Li Lin's side, her eyes filled with joy.

"I'm so happy that you came to save me right away."

The soldiers around Li Yanjing glanced at her, but dared not look at her any longer.

"Are you alright?" Li Lin asked.

"fine."

"Then go protect Qing'er and the others."

"but you……"

"These people are no match for me. Go quickly."

Seeing the man's tone turn stern, Li Yanjing nodded helplessly.

Actually, she wanted to protect Li Lin more.

But there was nothing she could do; as a concubine, she had to obey.

Li Yanjing turned around and disappeared into thin air.

By this time, the men in black had almost already crossed the first layer of soldiers' defenses.

But when he came down, he found that there was a circle of soldiers waiting for them outside.

Two hundred local militiamen, plus more than twenty yamen runners, that's actually quite a lot.

Moreover, there's also Li Lin, who knows the Lightning Strike Spell.

While Li Lin couldn't use his paper-crafting technique on rainy days, his lightning strike spell was greatly enhanced.

The man in black, who had been hit, managed to get up with difficulty.

His black clothes were almost completely torn to shreds, but his body remained black because large areas of his skin had turned to charcoal.

At this moment, another shout of battle erupted from the outer circle.

A formation of nearly a hundred men, armed with spears, surrounded them, and a dense barrage of spears, each a meter long, came flying at them.

Even if those men in black were incredibly skilled, able to withstand ten spear attacks, they couldn't withstand attacks from dozens of spears.

In less than thirty breaths, screams filled the air as the dozen or so people were riddled with holes.

Blood flowed with the rainwater on the ground.

Su Bei stepped forward, pulled off the hoods and face masks of several men in black, then came up to Li Lin and said, "They're all bald monks."

Li Lin nodded: "As expected."

Then Li Lin walked up to the man in black who was still standing and asked, "You know perfectly well that Kongji Temple has been designated as a rebel temple by the imperial court, yet you still dare to come to rescue it. You really don't take us seriously."

The man in black struggled to sit up cross-legged. He pulled off the veil covering his head, looked at Li Lin, and asked, "Why have you become so much stronger again!"

This is naturally also a monk.

"Do you know me?" Li Lin asked.

“Paper Prince… I saw you in Jin County half a month ago, though I only saw you from afar. You are so much stronger now than you were half a month ago. Is the dragon energy really that effective?”

Li Lin raised an eyebrow.

Seeing that Li Lin remained silent, he continued, "We did not intend to be your enemy. We only wanted to save people. Even if we were guards, we only knocked them unconscious, not killed them. Why did you, Paper Prince, so easily order people to be killed? You have a strong demonic nature. Why don't you convert to Buddhism and wash away your evil spirit?"

Li Lin laughed: "Don't change the subject. I just want to ask you why you came to save the monks of Kongji Temple."

"The world is full of suffering, and our fellow disciples are in trouble. How can we not help them?"

"With such compassion, the land north of Lu County has fallen into the hands of the Di people. I've heard that the people of Qi there are suffering terribly. As fellow citizens of Qi, why don't you monks go and save them?"

"Beyond one's reach."

Li Lin said disdainfully, "Hypocritical. Judging from your accent, you're from the Central Plains. But you can travel thousands of miles to the Southern Frontier to save your fellow disciples, yet you have no intention of saving the people of Lu County, who are living in even greater misery. To put it bluntly, you say one thing in front of others and do another in private. Kongji Temple is even more of a den of filth. There are hardly any good people in your Buddhist sect."

The monk sat cross-legged, speechless for a moment after being scolded.

After a long while, he said, “Benefactor Li, your eloquence is unmatched. But it is true that you are full of malevolence. If you do not restrain yourself, you will surely become a demon, and then everyone in the world will be your enemy.”

Li Lin was too lazy to argue with him any longer and said to Su Bei, "I'm leaving it to you. You must find out his background and purpose before dawn."

Su Bei clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes!"

But at that moment, the monk suddenly lowered his head and remained motionless.

Li Lin exclaimed, grabbed the monk's left hand and took his pulse, then said, "Dead. He died of his own rage. This monk had some backbone, but it's no use now that he's dead. It'll be easy to find out their identities... Su Bei, clean up this place. Throw the monks' bodies far away. Make a note of the injured brothers; they'll receive compensation when we get back."
