Watching the middle-aged man stand in the sword formation composed of white people, facing the endless swords from all directions, he showed no panic whatsoever. He simply fought off the attacking Taoist priests while shouting that there had been a misunderstanding.
Lin Yaoxie narrowed his eyes slightly. If he wasn't mistaken, this middle-aged man was Guo Jing. The Quanzhen Sect members probably mistook Guo Jing for a bandit, so they formed the Great Seven Star Sword Formation to gang up on him.
Moreover, Lin Yaoxie had to admit that Guo Jing's strength was now several levels above his own. Although he could challenge masters of Guo Jing's level, there were still strong and weak within the same level. Obviously, Guo Jing was a master among masters. Moreover, with Lin Yaoxie's strength, which was three levels above his own, he could only fight ordinary masters at most, and he probably wouldn't even be able to win. After all, Lin Yaoxie was only at the third level of Qi Refining, while the masters were equivalent to the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining.
After fighting for quite some time, even the kind-hearted Guo Jing lost his temper, letting out a roar and pushing his palms forward with all his might.
In an instant.
Woohoo!!
A deafening dragon roar resounded, and a golden dragon-shaped energy burst forth, sweeping across the scene. Sand and stones flew everywhere, and nearly a hundred Quanzhen Taoist priests were all blasted away.
Lin Yaoxie's brows twitched. Good heavens, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms truly lived up to their reputation; the sheer power of their palm strikes was enough to make them the most powerful and masculine palm technique in the world! [This refers to the world of The Condor Heroes.]
Now, all the Quanzhen Taoist priests were lying on the ground, unable to move, looking quite disheveled. Fortunately, Guo Jing had used his strength sparingly, otherwise these people would have been either dead or crippled!
Then Guo Jing launched into a long, rambling monologue before the Quanzhen Taoist priests finally calmed down. They said they would take Guo Jing to see his masters so they could recite his testimonies.
At this moment, Lin Yaoxie noticed a sixteen-year-old boy hiding behind a rock. He watched Guo Jing display his divine power with envy and was also very reluctant to come to the Quanzhen Sect to become some kind of so-called Taoist priest.
"As expected of the renowned hero Guo Jing, I've heard so much about you!" Lin Yaoxie didn't care about the little boy. He knew it was Yang Guo, but so what? He ignored him and instead laughed as he spoke, leaping down from a large tree and walking gracefully forward.
Guo Jing, who was about to follow the Quanzhen Taoist priests up the mountain, was slightly taken aback. Only then did he realize that there was someone behind him. He was secretly surprised. Although this person was young, his martial arts skills were not low.
"Hehe, you flatter me, young hero. May I ask who you are?" Guo Jing said warmly, cupping his hands in greeting. It was well known that he enjoyed making friends.
Lin Yaoxie cupped his hands slightly and said, "My father is Lin Zhengjun, and I am Lin Yaoxie!"
"So it's the young marshal! I was so rude just now. Greetings, young marshal!" Guo Jing's expression froze for a moment, then he solemnly cupped his hands and said again, his words now filled with respect.
Lin Yaoxie revealed his identity and the name of his cheap father just to use this as a pretext for his business. Don't you remember how Liu Bei used the name of a descendant of the Prince of Zhongshan to start his fortune?
In ancient times, if you came from a prestigious family, things would be much easier for you. This was especially true for someone like Lin Zhengjun, a top-notch military commander who fought against the Mongols. He was more likely to earn the respect of a patriot like Guo Jing, not to mention that Guo Jing was the leader of the garrison in Xiangyang.
As expected, as soon as Lin Yaoxie announced his family name, all the Quanzhen Taoist priests who were puzzled bowed and said, "This humble Taoist greets the young marshal!"
"Hmm, don't be so polite. I heard today that the scoundrel Huo Du dared to lead his men to attack Quanzhen. Take me to see him." Lin Yaoxie waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Yes!" Although these Quanzhen Taoist priests disdained what a young master could do up there, and thought he might even be a burden to them, the other party's status was simply too powerful, so they had no choice but to respectfully bow and begin to lead the way.
"Yang Guo, let's go!" At this moment, Guo Jing pulled the sixteen-year-old boy out from behind the rock.
in this way.
The group hurried towards the mountaintop. Along the way, Yang Guo secretly observed Lin Yaoxie, clearly curious about who the young marshal was and how he could be so powerful.
Chapter 40: One-Sword Kill!
When they arrived at the top of Zhongnan Mountain, the hundred or so Taoist priests accompanying Lin Yaoxie were enraged. They saw that all the east wing rooms of the Quanzhen Sect were on fire, and the bandits had already stormed into the Quanzhen Sect. Shouts of killing filled the air.
Starting from the entrance of the Quanzhen Sect at the top of the mountain and going deeper inside, the ground was littered with the corpses of Quanzhen Sect disciples. A thick stench of blood permeated the air, and the walls were covered with countless knife and sword marks, even splattered with countless bloodstains. It was simply a scene of human tragedy.
Then the young Taoist priest who was leading the group drew his long sword and, along with his fellow disciples, stormed into the temple in a fit of rage.
Guo Jing's face also turned grim upon seeing this. He had always regarded the Quanzhen Sect as his own sect, and now that it had been slaughtered, how could he not be furious!
Enraged, Guo Jing stomped his foot on the ground, causing it to crack like a spider web. He shot off like an arrow, charging into the crowd. With a flurry of palm strikes, he unleashed dragon-shaped bursts of energy that instantly killed countless bandits. Anyone struck by Guo Jing's palm strikes suffered ruptured internal organs and died spitting blood!
At this moment, the power of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the most powerful palm technique in the world, erupted. Guo Jing, amidst hundreds of people, truly resembled a humanoid tyrannosaurus, killing one by one as they came.
"Let's see who kills the most." Lin Yaoxie chuckled.
next moment.
A flash of blood-red light appeared, and with a soft hum of a longsword, Lin Yaoxie, accompanied by afterimages, instantly charged into the crowd. The soaring sword light was dazzling, each sword strike was so light and effortless, yet each sword strike took a life, as easy and simple as eating and drinking. Sword after sword, one bandit after another fell.
Guo Jing is a humanoid tyrannosaurus, extremely fierce.
Lin Yaoxie was like a peerless sword immortal, calm and collected, killing thieves with a single stroke of his sword.
Moreover, compared to Guo Jing, Lin Yaoxie killed people much faster and more elegantly, as if killing was an art, giving people a pleasing visual experience.
With the addition of Lin Yaoxie and Guo Jing, the Quanzhen Taoists fought back fiercely, and the bandits retreated hastily.
Just then, a young man wearing a mink coat and holding a white folding fan suddenly leaped up and struck Lin Yaoxie with a palm.
This man was none other than the Mongol prince Huodu, who was causing trouble among the crowd. His reasons for coming to Quanzhen were twofold: first, he wanted to marry the legendary beauty Xiaolongnu; second, he wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the number one Taoist sect in the Central Plains, so that there would be less trouble and obstacles when the Mongol army invaded the Song Dynasty in the future.
however.
Huo Du never expected that his plan was going so well, and he was about to use this group of evil people from the Central Plains to destroy the Quanzhen Sect, when two people suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Each of them was more ruthless than the other, and even some of his personal guards who were lying in ambush were slaughtered by the two.
Finally, Huo Du lost his temper and launched a direct attack on the young Lin Yaoxie, believing that although his opponent seemed powerful, he was still young...
however.
Lin Yaoxie sneered, and the blood sword in his hand suddenly burst out with dazzling light. He casually thrust forward, slowly and weakly.
But what Huo Du saw made his scalp tingle. He felt that he could not dodge this sword no matter what, as if it was not a sword, but swords coming from all directions.
Moreover, in Huo Du's eyes, this sword strike was not slow at all, but rather as swift as lightning, making it impossible to react in time. In the blink of an eye, the blood-red longsword had already struck...
"Pfft..." At the critical moment, Huo Du could only force himself to avoid vital points by using his internal strength despite the internal injuries. Even so, the sharp sword had already pierced through his left shoulder.
Huo Du lay on the ground, clutching his wound, his face filled with disbelief. He was the number one among the younger generation in Mongolia, and could even be considered the number one among the younger generation in the Central Plains. Yet... he had been defeated by a young man a few years younger than himself with a single sword strike. If he hadn't managed to avoid vital points despite his internal injuries, that sword strike would probably have killed him instantly. This man was truly terrifying.
Lin Yaoxie looked at Huo Du indifferently and sneered. A sword immortal is not just someone who can control a sword. A sword immortal is born with a deep understanding of the sword. Man and sword are one. Man is sword and sword is man. Any casual sword move can be called a special move by outsiders.
This is the Sword Immortal.
Although Lin Yaoxie used most of his strength just now, this sword strike was really just a casual strike. And it was precisely this casual strike that was enough to instantly kill Huo Du, who was known as the number one among the younger generation and a first-class master in the martial arts world!
Let's make a formula.
A sword immortal can unleash 100% of their power with a casual sword strike, while an ordinary cultivator or martial artist can only unleash about 70% of their power with a casual move. Only by using their own techniques and skills can they deal damage with their full strength, which is 100%.
If a sword immortal were to truly unleash his sword techniques, the power he would unleash would not be 100%, but rather 200% or 300%! The overall attack power he would unleash would be several times greater than his own strength.
This is why the Sword Immortal is known as having the strongest attack power in the world.
Chapter 41: Another Instant Kill!
P.S.: You thought I was better? Haha, actually it's even worse. I'm still in the hospital getting IV drips. To be honest, it's really painful. These two chapters took me a whole day to write, and I had to be extremely careful while I was getting the IV drip. Plus, several people in the book review section were urging me to update, so I really couldn't help it. I originally wanted to update only once, but that wouldn't be very kind, so I updated twice. And some people are saying all sorts of things about me being unprofessional and abandoning the book just because I updated a little late. I just silently deleted the posts and didn't want to say anything. Also, thank you to the many friends in the book review section for their encouragement. It's you who are keeping me going! Never stop updating, a man's vow. Keep going!
--------------
As Huo Du was injured by Lin Yaoxie's sword, the bandits present subconsciously stopped their attacks and stared at Lin Yaoxie in disbelief. They knew how powerful Huo Du's martial arts were, but they never expected that he would be defeated by a young man who was a few years younger than them.
At this moment, the Six Masters of Quanzhen also stopped what they were doing. They had all suffered losses at the hands of that Mongol named Huo Du. However, seeing Huo Du, who had just been displaying great power, being defeated by a young man with a single sword strike, left them with mixed feelings.
Afterwards, seeing that even the strongest of them, Huo Du, had been defeated, the group of thieves quickly fled.
At this moment, several of Huo Du's confidants hid in the crowd and quietly helped Huo Du up, hoping to take the opportunity to escape from the place.
but.
"Did I give you permission to leave?" Lin Yaoxie said calmly, casually drawing a blood-red lotus flower from his blood-red longsword, which bloomed in the void.
This indifferent voice, however, was like a death knell to Huo Du's ears, startling him so much that he grabbed the two trusted confidants supporting him and threw them at Lin Yaoxie without hesitation.
After throwing his trusted confidant to Lin Yaoxie, Huo didn't hesitate at all and quickly used his lightness skill to escape.
Lin Yaoxie indifferently watched the two Mongolian guards hurtling towards him. With a casual swipe of his blood-red longsword, the two men were sliced in two like tofu, their upper and lower halves completely separated, blood gushing everywhere.
Huo Du seemed to sense that his two trusted confidants were dead, and he fled even faster, his lightness skill clearly having greatly improved.
pity.
"Slash!" With Lin Yaoxie's soft shout, the blood-red longsword flew into the air, turning into a blood rainbow that pierced the sky and instantly reached Huo Du's head. The next moment, it slashed down.
puff!
Huo Du was cleaved in two by this sword, truly split in two, his internal organs spilling out onto the ground. Even if you are a villain who has existed from beginning to end in the original work, you cannot withstand Lin Yaoxie's sword strike!
The idea that original characters are deliberately kept alive to continue the story, or that original characters are deliberately spared to avoid altering the plot, is utter nonsense! Whoever you are, if I don't like you, I'll kill you with one sword!
Lin Yaoxie ignored the remaining bandits. After all, if he wanted his reputation to spread throughout the martial world, he needed these scoundrels to promote it for him. As for the Quanzhen Sect? Although he would promote it, he would definitely avoid mentioning it. After all, the Quanzhen Sect was the number one Taoist sect in the world. If someone attacked and needed a junior he had never heard of to save them, wouldn't their reputation as the number one sect in the world be ruined?
Therefore, the Quanzhen Sect would definitely not publicize Lin Yaoxie too much; at most, they would just mention it casually.
That's why Lin Yaoxie let these henchmen go, letting them spread his fame. As for why those bandits would spread it? Naturally, it's because they need to portray Lin Yaoxie as powerful in order to cover up their own defeat. Martial arts people are all extremely concerned about their reputation. They would rather be beaten like a dog by a young master than be defeated by an unknown junior.
It must be said that Lin Yaoxie is quite cunning and thoughtful.
……
In the afternoon, there were still quite a few Quanzhen Taoist priests. They finished cleaning up in one noon, but the smell of blood and the charred buildings could not be cleaned up for the time being.
At this moment, Guo Jing also revealed his purpose, introducing Yang Guo to the Six Masters of Quanzhen and requesting that the Quanzhen Sect take Yang Guo in.
Even the self-important Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect had to give Guo Jing face, so they decided to leave Yang Guo with the Quanzhen Sect. Under Qiu Chuji's arrangement, Yang Guo became a disciple of Zhao Zhijing, the third-generation senior disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, who was the young Taoist priest who led the group to beat up Guo Jing at the beginning.
This Taoist priest named Zhao Zhijing was narrow-minded and extremely displeased with Yang Guo's insults at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain that morning. Although he was somewhat unwilling, he had to obey his master's orders, so he had no choice but to accept this disciple. However, he was thinking that he would only teach him the incantation and not his martial arts, and see how arrogant Yang Guo would become in the future.
Yang Guo was actually quite unwilling. To be honest, he wanted to become Lin Yaoxie's disciple, and he had no desire to become this old Taoist priest's disciple.
However, Yang Guo was quite self-aware and knew that Lin Yaoxie would not accept him as a disciple, so he had no choice but to reluctantly become his apprentice. He thought to himself that he would trick this Taoist master a few more times in the future to teach him a lesson.
Two scheming individuals became master and apprentice just like that. It has to be said, this is truly a kind of fate.
After Yang Guo became an apprentice, everyone stayed for a meal to thank Guo Jing and Lin Yaoxie for their help. In particular, when these arrogant Taoist priests learned that Lin Yaoxie was the young marshal, their attitude improved several times over, and they warmly invited him to stay in Zhongnan Mountain for a while.
The invitation from the Quanzhen Taoist priests was indeed what Lin Yaoxie needed. He still had some things to do, so he naturally wouldn't leave so easily. Therefore, he simply postponed it for a few minutes and then readily agreed.
As for becoming Guo Jing's disciple to learn martial arts?
To be honest, Guo Jing wasn't qualified, and Lin Yaoxie didn't want to do it even for the sake of the mission, so he decided to take a different approach.
It is said that Guo Jing was fortunate enough to obtain a military treatise left behind by General Yue Fei, the legendary "Wumu's Legacy".
It was this military treatise that enabled Guo Jing to hold off the Mongol army for more than twenty years with the strength of a single city.
Therefore, Lin Yaoxie did not become Guo Jing's martial arts master, but instead planned to have Guo Jing be his teacher and ask him to teach him military strategy. Teacher means teacher, not master. This is something that needs to be understood.
To put it simply, the teacher is like your homeroom teacher, except that Guo Jing only teaches Lin Yaoxie. It's that simple.
In this way, you can complete the task while avoiding things you don't want to do—truly a win-win situation!
