Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Although he had taken full control of the military in Xiangyang, he still had nothing to do.

The Mongol army retreated, losing its commander and severely wounding its national advisor. Its strength was greatly diminished, and it would take at least a few years to make a comeback.

As for daily training and martial arts practice, Lin Yaoxie no longer needed to handle it personally. Guo Jing, along with Da Wu and Xiao Wu, took care of everything.

All Lin Yaoxie could do was secretly visit his master's wife, Huang Rong, during the day.

The master's wife never took the initiative, and in the end, Lin Yaoxie always had to force himself on her.

As for the night, he slept with Guo Fu.

To protect her own secrets, and considering that Lin Yaoxie, though somewhat lecherous, was still a strong and reliable person, Huang Rong figured that having her daughter with him would ensure her safety. Therefore, she tacitly approved of their relationship.

After all, this was during the Southern Song Dynasty, where polygamy was quite common. Even someone as strong as Huang Rong only wanted to have Guo Jing all to herself; as for others, she was powerless to help them.

The reason why Guo Jing was always devoted to Huang Rong might also be related to his impotence.

The truth is that it is not enough to explain it to outsiders.

...

One month later, Lin Yaoxie opened his eyes one morning. The weather was quite nice today, sunny and cloudless, a perfect day to go out.

Turning his head to look at Guo Fu, who was still fast asleep in his arms, Lin Yaoxie's face broke into a smile.

Without making a sound, he pulled his arm out and dressed as if by magic.

He floated out of the room without touching the ground and headed straight for Guo Jing's residence.

Lin Yaoxie knew that although it was only a short time before dawn, Guo Jing should be practicing the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.

Sure enough, before they even reached the inner courtyard where Guo Jing was, Lin Yaoxie could hear the whistling wind and the sounds of dragons and tigers roaring.

Lin Yaoxie simply didn't go through the main gate; he put his feet down and stood directly on the wall of the inner courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, Guo Jing was walking with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger. Although Guo Jing was not yet listed as one of the Five Greats at this time, his actual skill level was already comparable to that of the Five Greats.

He unleashed a set of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, displaying unparalleled skill and mastery.

The palm strikes were so powerful that they even created the illusion of a golden dragon dancing in the air.

With each step, the blue bricks beneath his feet cracked. These blue bricks were a foot thick; if they were fired in a regular three-finger kiln, the floor would have to be re-laid every day.

Lin Yaoxie stood with his hands behind his back on the courtyard wall, feeling Guo Jing's powerful palm strike. His white robes billowed and swayed in the wind, making him look like a celestial being.

He and Guo Jing were kindred spirits. Although he had such an affair with Huang Rong, Lin Yaoxie did not feel excessive guilt towards Guo Jing because of it.

Touching Huang Rong's buttocks was purely a requirement of the mission; in order to obtain Demon King Points, he naturally had to do it.

As for how far his relationship with Huang Rong had progressed, to be honest, it really wasn't in his plans.

It's all Guo Jing's fault for being impotent for ten years, and it's all Huang Rong's fault for upholding traditional womanly virtues for ten years. When the hottest flame meets the driest tinder, a wildfire is inevitable.

Lin Yaoxie is His Majesty King Wu, a general of the army, but he is also a sword immortal, an extraterrestrial visitor whose original purpose was to conquer this world.

Everything he did was to fulfill the orders issued by the Demon King System.

In other words, everything in this world—the dazzling lights, the extravagant lifestyle—is not much different to a player sitting in front of a computer looking at NPCs in a game.

He might get addicted to games, but not to the point of abandoning the real world for them.

Moreover, the future of this world is already predetermined, and he doesn't want to change it, so he's more open-minded about it.

Aside from their brief encounter at the Alliance Leaders' Conference that day, the two never sparred again.

It wasn't that Lin Yaoxie had a sudden whim today; it was because he was leaving the Guo residence. Although he didn't feel guilty towards Guo Jing, he thought it would be better to give him something in return.

This wasn't for Guo Jing, but for Huang Rong, and even more so for myself.

Lin Yaoxie is a villain; he doesn't need the compassion that only a protagonist would have. Everything he does is fundamentally aimed at maximizing his own interests.

The main quest requires him to live until the time of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, and it is specified that this is at the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty was destined to be destroyed sooner or later. If the Song Dynasty hadn't fallen, how could the Yuan Dynasty have emerged so easily?

The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber were originally forged by Guo Jing using Yang Guo's heavy sword. However, Yang Guo is no longer the Condor Hero from the original novel, and the heavy sword has not yet been created. For the era of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber to arrive, the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword must be brought into existence.

These are all Lin Yaoxie's selfish motives, which are not worthy of being discussed, but they can achieve his greatest basic interests.

Thinking that he might do cruel things to Guo Jing, who loved the people like his own children, Lin Yaoxie couldn't help but feel a sense of indifference even when facing NPCs who were just data.

Chapter 74: Battle with Guo Jing [Sixth Update]

"Teacher, your student has come to pay his respects," Lin Yaoxie suddenly announced.

Guo Jing was completely focused on practicing his martial arts, and Lin Yaoxie's movements were so peculiar that they seemed to be both immortal and demonic that he didn't notice him.

Just then, Guo Jing was about to unleash his Flying Dragon in the Sky Palm strike when he stopped. The force of his palm had already reached his center, and just as he was about to strike, he heard Lin Yaoxie's voice.

Lin Yaoxie's voice, like a highly concentrated beam of sound, instantly filled Guo Jing's ears.

The thunderous sound exploded in his ears, making even the great hero Guo Jing's head buzz.

However, Guo Jing was highly skilled, and although his head was spinning and his chest felt tight, he still managed to suppress the urge to vomit by focusing his energy in his dantian.

"So it was you, you evil spirit! Forget about master and disciple, why are you up so early today?" After forcing himself to say these words, Guo Jing felt his blood and qi were abnormal, and his arms, which were half raised above his head, felt as heavy as if they had been filled with a thousand pounds of gold.

"Hehe, I did get up early. Master, take this!"

Without any warning, Lin Yaoxie, who had been all smiles just a moment ago, suddenly turned icy cold.

With a wave of his hand, a vortex of energy appeared in his hand, which quickly condensed into a faintly visible three-foot sword. The sword's blade and tip vibrated, but without making a sound.

Guo Jing's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the rapidly moving sword tip, and a feeling of fear rose in his heart.

Compared to Lin Yaoxie's deadly moves that often unleash a sky full of sword shadows, the killing intent emanating from this Qi sword, solidified into a three-foot-long dragon spring, seems even more astonishing.

"Go!" Lin Yaoxie seemed to shout, but it also seemed to be just blowing a breath.

In short, after he shouted "Go!", without any clear indication of how his arm swung outwards, the sword, imbued with supreme killing intent and instilling fear in Guo Jing from the bottom of his heart, instantly charged towards Guo Jing with overwhelming force.

The speed of this sword strike was really not fast; in fact, it could be described as extremely slow.

The sword of energy slowly pierced forward, leaving a faint black line in its wake.

Do not overlook this easily overlooked black line. It is because of the existence of the black line that the heart-wrenching fear lingered in Guo Jing's heart and could not be shaken off.

It is precisely because of the existence of this black line that Lin Yaoxie's domineering sword technique has been elevated to its extreme.

Although the sword strike was slow, its power was astonishing. It not only tore through the air, but also through space and time.

That's right, just like the ultimate move that appears in all cultivation stories, Lin Yaoxie's sword had torn through the void. Although it only tore a tiny bit, just the width of a hair, it was still a tear.

During this month, Lin Yaoxie seemed to be living a somewhat decadent life, but in reality, he was accumulating power, not for any other reason than to be able to unleash this attack that could tear through the void on this day.

Even the slowest sword will eventually reach its target. Besides, Guo Jing, with his hands half-raised, had no way to dodge.

To be honest, Lin Yaoxie's move of breaking through the void with one sword seems impressive, but in reality, it's quite useless.

Let alone sparring with a peerless master, even a wild boar could dodge this slow sword strike.

Even if it's incredibly powerful and indestructible, if you can't hit your target, isn't even the most powerful attack useless?

That's why Lin Yaoxie chose to strike when Guo Jing was practicing his martial arts, especially when he was about to unleash the Flying Dragon in the Sky technique and his entire body was unable to move.

Moreover, before making his move, in order to ensure that Guo Jing, who was paralyzed, would stand still, he deliberately uttered those words of greeting that he would not normally say.

As expected, everything went exactly as predicted. Guo Jing was stunned and stood frozen in place.

If Guo Jing becomes immobile, will he be killed by Lin Yaoxie's move?

Lin Yaoxie is clearly waiting for Guo Jing to forge the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword. If Guo Jing dies at this time, what will happen to the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber? Will the main quest still be completed?

Heh, who is Lin Yaoxie? Even if he makes such a mistake, the system will still warn him.

But in fact, the system remained silent, and a smile appeared on Lin Yaoxie's cold face.

He didn't intend to kill Guo Jing, and even if he were, it wouldn't be now. What he wanted to do was to force Guo Jing to desperately unleash the Flying Dragon Soaring in the Sky when he had no way to dodge, thus ending the war with war.

Ke Lin's skills are already superior to Guo Jing's, and the most powerful move in the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is not Flying Dragon in the Sky, but Dragon Regrets.

Furthermore, Guo Jing's breathing was sluggish when Lin Yaoxie had him under his control. In that state, how could he possibly use a palm technique that wasn't particularly powerful to break Lin Yaoxie's most destructive sword immortal killing move to date?

Time is the answer to all problems.

"The Flying Dragon in the Sky from the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms..." Guo Jing shouted hoarsely, forcing out his bare palm with his sword.

A golden dragon flew out from Guo Jing's palms. Just as the dragon's head emerged, it collided with the qi sword that came rushing up from below.

A soft 'hiss' sound, though seemingly insignificant, struck Guo Jing like a thunderclap.

Visibly, at the point where the dragon head and the sword tip collided, a black line appeared, resembling the aftermath of shattering the void.

This time, however, it's not a linear divergence, but rather a tiny dot like a sesame seed.

The small black dot spun rapidly, blocking the air sword and the dragon head, preventing them from colliding with each other.

At this moment, Lin Yaoxie had already taken flight from the top of the wall, floating slowly and gracefully in mid-air.

His eyes were slightly closed, but a sharp glint shone from them, barely visible through the slits.

Bring your index and middle fingers together, extend them outwards simultaneously, and wave them left and right while chanting, "Splitter, split, split, split..."

With each "divide" he uttered, the qi sword composed of highly condensed air would tremble, then one sword would become two, two swords would become four, four would become eight, eight would become sixteen... and so on, until one hundred and twenty-four qi swords appeared densely packed above Guo Jing's head.

These swords of energy appeared almost in the blink of an eye, and then simultaneously thrust forward in the next breath.

It wasn't Guo Jing who was stabbed, but rather the dragon head formed by Guo Jing's "Flying Dragon in the Sky" technique.

A series of hissing sounds merged into a sound like the air being torn apart, much like the sound of a strong man forcefully ripping a piece of cloth.

Chapter 75: Guo Jing is Crippled [Seventh Update]

P.S.: The second and fourth updates are still pending review. Damn, this is so inefficient. Also, I curse the idiot who reports this book to have a son without a penis.

-----------------

One hundred and twenty-four small black dots appeared between the one hundred and twenty-four qi swords and the dragon head.

Lin Yaoxie flipped once in mid-air and flew back up to the top of the wall. When he landed on the wall, his body swayed slightly, his face was a little pale, and his lips were a little chapped, as if he hadn't slept well for several nights.

Lin Yaoxie said calmly to Guo Jing, whose expression was obscured by the dragon head, the sword of qi, and the black dots, "We have not failed as master and disciple. This is all I can do to help you."

His voice was so soft that Guo Jing didn't hear it at all. Even under normal circumstances, he wouldn't have heard it unless he was concentrating intently.
