Chapter 162 Sacrificing to Lord Lin (Part 3)
"..."

Lin Jun's eyes, which had been glowing with purple light, turned cold in an instant.

"Your answer is very similar to that of a swordsman from a few days ago."

"only……"

"I crushed all the bones in his body, and then..."

Lin Jun moved his claws rhythmically, then made a gesture as if tossing it into his mouth.

"eaten."

Nie Chao clenched his teeth, his eyes bulging with rage.

Tianhai...

Lin Jun slowly raised his claws and extended them towards him: "Perhaps you will end up like him."

"I'll ask you one more time..."

"impossible."

Before Lin Jun could finish asking, he had already spoken.

When faced with life and death, people tend to take many things less seriously.

He discovered that in his short life, there was only one thing he could never let go of.

That is the spirit of a swordsman.

Even that bastard Duan Tianhai didn't say a word, but I, Nie Chao...

How could I be worse than him?!

In an instant, a surge of sharp energy burst forth from his chest, and the ordinary iron sword in his hand faintly emitted a clear aura!
"Ok?"

Lin Jun sensed an extremely faint yet very familiar sense of danger emanating from the sword.

Without hesitation, it grabbed at her head and face.

Just then, something unexpected happened!
A streak of azure light shot towards him, and Lin Jun was alarmed. He retreated rapidly, but it still pierced his palm.

"throat--"

Lin Jun cried out in pain and roared repeatedly.

Nie Chao was stunned. He clearly saw the blue fragment stuck in Lin Jun's palm...

It turned out to be a chicken bone.

"Kid, you're quite interesting."

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw the fat beggar sitting in the tree, eating half a roast chicken.

He finished eating, tossed the food aside, and wiped his mouth.

"Just now...that was..."

Nie Chao was somewhat stunned; he had no idea what had happened.

The fat beggar leaped down from the tree and flicked his sleeve to dispel the illusion: "That's called sword energy."

The oil stains and filth were swept away in one go.

Disheveled and filthy, he disappeared without a trace.

A young cultivator dressed in a plain white sword robe appeared.

"What... do you want to learn?"

He patted Nie Chao on the shoulder: "I'll teach you."

"throat--"

Lin Jun roared in pain and lunged at the two of them.

But the sword-robed Taoist remained calm and composed, pointing his sword at the same point: "Watch closely!"

Sword energy surged around him, and sword light rained down from the sky.

The Taoist stood in mid-air, his sleeves filled with thousands of azure sword energies that formed a great array.

Lin Jun looked horrified, stopped moving, and then fled without a fight, disappearing into the distance.

Unfortunately, I never had that opportunity.

"fall."

The sword-robed Taoist uttered a single word.

boom--

Thousands of sword energies surged forth like a celestial river pouring down in an instant.

Countless cyan sword energies continuously pierced into the evil unicorn's body, claws, and even tail.

Nie Chao had never seen such a cataclysmic scene before; the surging, overflowing sword energy made it almost impossible for him to open his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, the evil unicorn had fallen to the ground and was pinned to the ground.

What are you still standing there for?

The voice of the sword-robed Taoist could be heard from the sky.

"Isn't it about avenging innocent people?"

Nie Chao felt as if he were in a dream, and immediately struggled to his feet, rushing towards Evil Lin.

"throat……"

The evil unicorn was now on its last breath, only managing a few weak roars.

Where was his former arrogant demeanor?

Nie Chao gathered all his strength and thrust it fiercely towards the crack between its eyebrows.

A clear light flowed, and a sword pierced through the space between the eyebrows.

Black blood gushed out instantly, and the evil scales gradually lost their life. It was dead.

The sword-robed Taoist slowly descended from the sky and stood beside Nie Chao.

Nie Chao stared blankly at the Taoist priest, and after a long while, he couldn't even utter the words "Immortal".

It was the Immortal Master who spoke first.

"Young man, I see you have extraordinary talent; you must be a sword cultivator prodigy."

"Who knows, the important task of maintaining peace in the cultivation world of Yue Kingdom will probably depend on you in the future!"

"So, how about it? Would you like to become my disciple?"

The Taoist priest spoke in a nonchalant manner, but Nie Chao did not doubt a word he said.

Because just now, he witnessed a "miracle".

Nie Chao gently sheathed his sword at his side.

Bow with both hands.

"Disciple is willing."

……

"Master..."

"explain."

"Legend has it that the Qilin is an auspicious beast, representing the will of heaven and earth. If I kill it and use its essence and blood to refine my body, will I incur divine retribution?"

In the courtyard, Nie Chao asked somewhat hesitantly.

"Ho ho."

The Taoist priest chuckled:
"When auspicious omens occur, if one happens to encounter a Qilin, one will believe that the Qilin represents good fortune."

“When an ominous disaster occurs, if one happens to encounter a shawl, one will believe that the shawl represents calamity.”

"Could it be that all living things in the world appeared here just to warn us that something big is about to happen?"

The Taoist's tone was full of mockery.

"People are always like this, thinking they are the center of the world."

“But a Qilin is a Qilin, and a Jie Gou is a Jie Gou.”

"The monsters also have their own things to do."

"What do you mean, this represents good fortune, that represents disaster? The appearance of this means floods and droughts, the appearance of that means there are many cunning and treacherous people in the country..."

"Nonsense."

Nie Chao stared blankly, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"and……"

"Even if all of this is true, you don't need to worry."

The Taoist took a sip of spiritual tea and slowly said, "The real Linjun was possessed by a demonic cultivator a hundred years ago."

"what?"

"It was discovered by my master... ah, that is, your grandmaster, who shattered its demon core with sword energy and fled to the Yue Kingdom."

"It has a demonic body but no demonic power whatsoever. Otherwise, as a mere mortal, you would have died countless times over if you were to face it."

"By killing it, you have actually freed the true Linjun."

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Nie Chao nodded: "Disciple understands... But Master, where is our Grandmaster?"

"He's gone to a very far away place..."

A rare, fervent look of intense longing appeared in the Taoist's eyes.

"Where?"

"Tsk, why are you talking so much? Don't be too ambitious."

The Taoist glanced at him and said, "Once you have cultivated your Golden Core, I will be able to follow your grandmaster to the afterlife."

"After you take on a disciple, you will carry on our lineage of sword cultivators. Once your disciple has cultivated to the Golden Core stage, you can also go."

"So you, you, you, hurry up and practice your skills."

"Oh……"

"By the way, have you found your flying sword yet?"

"I'm not going to be picky anymore, I'll take this one."

"Huh?" The Taoist's expression was somewhat strange: "An ordinary iron sword?"

“I’ve been using it for many years, and I’ve even comprehended the sword intent while using it… Master, didn’t you say that the sword body is dispensable? Then let’s not make a change.”

"Alright."

The Taoist priest nodded: "What is its name?"

"It didn't have a name before."

Nie Chao gently stroked the ordinary iron sword, unable to put it down.

"Now..."

"Let's call it 'Lord Jilin'."
