Chapter 77: Chapter 64 [Burst Out] The First Real Battle 1
Translator: 549690339
Accompanied by applause, a monk with an exceedingly commonplace appearance stepped out from the bush beside them. His eyes were filled with excitement as they landed on Lin Yi, as if a predator had just sighted its prey.
“Not bad, not bad. Luck really is something you can’t avoid. I was only able to sense a strong life force here, but it seems I’ve come across an even more pleasant surprise.”
“A mere Qi Refining Level Four, yet you possess an Evil Expelling Artifact, and an Exorcism and Lifesaving Sigil with such formidable power. It seems you’re closely connected to a Talisman Crafter.”
Lin Yi gazed at this monk with a stern expression, before asking, “Fellow
Daoist, we have no past grievances. Why are you attacking me?”
As he spoke, he used the Spirit Wood Technique. However, even at Great Perfect Level, he was unable to discern this person’s Cultivation level, and there was no trace of the Yin Qi found in Xuan Yin Sect cultivators present on him.
Either he possesses some sort of magic artifact that can hide both his aura and cultivation level, or his cultivation level is far beyond mine, rendering my Spirit Wood Technique ineffective.
“There’s no need to look. I’m at Qi Refining Seventh Layer, so a lowly Four Floors cultivator like you shouldn’t even dream of escaping. Otherwise, I shall let the Evil Spirits have their fun with you.”
The monk said with a wicked smirk. Suddenly, two puffs of black smoke appeared beside him, revealing themselves to be malevolent black Evil Spirits their faces frightening and grotesque.
Upon hearing this monk’s self-proclaimed Cultivation Level, Lin Yi’s heart
slightly eased. With a major battle imminent, the Xuan Yin Sect would
definitely not send a Foundation Building or Golden Core Monk to retaliate
against Liu Yun Sect – that would be too conspicuous.
A stranger at the Foundation Building stage wouldn’t even be able to enter Qing Yun City, let alone infiltrate the Liu Yun Sect.
He promptly took off his “The Road is at the Feet” title, ready to replace it with “Burst Out” at any moment.
Knowing that this guy has information about the powerful Exorcism charm I used, if I let him go, I’d undoubtedly face relentless retaliation from the Xuan Yin Sect. That’s something I’m unable to withstand.
After receiving the title “Small Tolerances Upset Great Plans”, he’s been constantly using various methods to trigger his inner fury, before suppressing it. This title had recently been upgraded to the Second Tier.
Every ten points of fury maintain the frenzied state for one second, granting a 5% boost to Cultivation Speed. The addition to damage output in a frenzied state has increased from 30% to 50%.
Moreover, he’s tested that during the frenzied state, all his forms of attacks, including talismans, deal additional damage.
“Are you perchance a Xuan Yin Sect Cultivator? Please, spare my life. I promise I’ll turn a blind eye.” While speaking, Lin Yi quietly activated an Exorcism Charm.
The Xuan Yin Sect Cultivator burst out into laughter, his eyes turning cruel. “Hahaha, spare your life, you say? Who’d spare my Xuan Yin Sect disciples then? The sudden appearance of a large number of supreme-grade Exorcism and Lifesaving Sigils on the battlefield has led to countless deaths among our disciples. The painstakingly gathered Evil Spirits have all been exorcised.”
“The Sect Hierarch has ordered us to investigate the matter. I never expected that I’d run into you on my first day in Liu Yun Sect’s territory, before I even started the investigation. Considering you’re carrying supreme-grade symbols, you must be closely linked to the Talisman Crafter.”
“Once I attach an Evil Spirit to your body, I’ll know everything.” A look of excitement crossed his face – after all, finding the person behind these supreme-grade symbols was a task bestowed by the Sect Hierarch herself.
All he needed was a clue, and he’d be rewarded. If he found the true Talisman Crafter, he could even become a disciple to the Hierarch herself, gaining access to endless cultivation resources. His luck was truly impeccable.
As he spoke, the two Evil Spirits by his side churned restlessly, their greedy gazes fixated on Lin Yi. They even began drooling, seemingly unable to wait to latch onto him and feast.
“I-I can send a message to him and ask him to come. Please, I beg you to spare me.” Lin Yi hurriedly pleaded.
The Xuan Yin Sect Cultivator let out a cold laugh. “Someone capable of creating such a talisman is likely at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage. You think I’m a fool?”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Lin Yi tossed a Sound Transmission Talisman towards the distance. Rage washed over the Xuan Yin Sect Cultivator’s face, and he directed one of the Evil Spirits to give chase.
When he turned his attention back to Lin Yi, his face dropped. Countless orbs of light, formed from Pure Yang Qi, were already on their way to him.
At the same time, several talismans laid out around were activated, including the Ground Sinking Sigil and Wood Binding Sigil, all starting to take effect.
Lin Yi unleashed dozens of Great Perfect Level Raging Fire Talismans towards him, unconcerned with the expenditure. Killing this guy here and now was the top priority. Simultaneously, he didn’t forget to command the Exorcism Charm to deal with the Evil Spirit floating above him.
“You little shit, there’s no way a Qi Refining Level Four Cultivator like you could have so many supreme-grade talismans. I get it now… You are that Talisman
Crafter. Hahaha. A little Qi Refining Level Four… Your death is near.”
Seeing so many talismans, the Xuan Yin Sect Cultivator clearly reacted. Even with the best of relationships, it was impossible to have so many talismans. He was indeed lucky.
As Lin Yi continued to drop the talismans, suddenly, a cold sensation came from behind. Immediately after, the Mercy Shield automatically rose again.
He turned his head and looked towards the back, it was actually a tree, extending its branches towards him. On the trunk of the tree, a grim face also appeared.
Lin Yi’s heart sank, he ignited a few Exorcism Charm Scrolls and threw them out. At that moment, the Evil Spirit, which was in charge of chasing the Sound Transmission Talisman, flew back and began to attack the Mercy Shield.
He let out a sigh, and the Mercy Shield on his body suddenly disappeared. At this point, the Evil Spirit possessing the large tree instantly used its branches to firmly tie his body up.
However, the premium-grade robe he was wearing was unable to automatically ignite a defensive shield. This was the terror of Evil Spirits.
“Damn it, kid, you ruined the supreme-grade spiritual artifact bestowed by our Sect Master, a precious object that could withstand a full-strength blow from a cultivator at the Foundation Building Late Stage.”
The Xuan Yin Sect Cultivator, resisting all the talisman attacks, walked over with a face full of rage. In his hand was a bronze lamp, but it was broken in two halves. His face was also covered with wounds, seemingly hit by the aftermath of the Raging Fire Charm.
Lin Yi said with a somber face, “To think that a mere cultivator at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer like you would carry four Evil Spirits, apparently damaging my Evil Expelling Artifact, but that was enough to kill you.”
You must know that back then in the Spiritual Field Planting District, he encountered only a few black-shaped Evil Spirits. The man in front of him was carrying four and even had a supreme-grade spiritual artifact.
The Xuan Yin Sect Cultivator sneered, “Hmph, enough to kill me, you insignificant Qi Refining Level Four cultivator, you talk big… Even if I stand still and let you kill me, you may not necessarily be able to do so.”
“I brought four Evil Spirits to take revenge on your Liu Yun Sect. It’s a pity that before I could get my revenge, I caught you, the big fish.”
As he said this, he walked up to Lin Yi, looked him up and down, and exclaimed in wonder, “Never would have thought, the person who could produce supreme-grade symbols is just a Qi Refining Four Floors. The Liu Yun Sect is really bold to let you wander around.”
“You want to kill, just do it. Too much nonsense, all of you in the Xuan Yin Sect deserve to die.” Lin Yi said coldly with a face full of anger.
At this moment, a title panel had already appeared in front of his eyes. Now, the title “Small Endurance Leads to Big Chaos” has a fury value of 500 points, enough for 50 seconds of Frenzy state.
A large part of this fury value came from the Evil Spirit incidents. The horrifying scenes created by these incidents did not scare him. Instead, it ignited a great fury within him.
The Xuan Yin Sect Cultivator let out a loud laugh, “Hahaha, I’m not going to kill you. I’ll let the Evil Spirits control you first, then take you back to the Xuan Yin Sect.”
“Once there, I’ll slowly let the Evil Spirits devour you in front of the face of Liu
Yun Sect’s Conquest Army. The thought of this is so satisfying. The Sect Hierarch will heavily reward me, a disciple under the Hierarch, with Evil Spirit resources…”
While he was saying this, he walked to the front, slapped Lin Yi’s face, and became lost in the fantasies of the Hierarch’s rewards, a look of excitement appearing on his face.
Looking at the nearby Xuan Yin Sect Cultivator in front of him, Lin Yi wouldn’t miss this great opportunity. Even if the Evil Spirits restrained his body, they couldn’t restrain the title system in front of him.
First, he activated the “Little Mercy, Little Compassion” minor blessing state, along with the Mercy Shield. Under the activated state, once an Evil Spirit attacked, the Mercy Shield would automatically activate.
He had just purposefully turned off the Mercy Shield. Now there were still 80
Virtue Points left. He had to ensure that he wouldn’t be possessed by the Evil Spirits. Then, with the help of the minor blessing state, he must make a full-force attack.
At this time, the restraining effect of the Evil Spirit completely disappeared.
His body’s energy and blood were constantly surging, quickly concentrating on one fist. With the other hand, he ignited more than ten Exorcism Charms, held them in his palm, and directly hit it.
At the moment of the attack, Lin Yi didn’t forget to replace the “Small Succeeding Generation” with [The Path Lies Beneath Your Feet] to increase his speed even more.
A Ghost Cultivator’s practice revolves around Yin Evil Qi, hence, just like Evil Spirits, they feared Exorcism Charms, only the effects weren’t as obvious as with Evil Spirits.
However, these were Great Perfection Level Exorcism Charms. At such close range coupled with the 50% bonus damage from the Frenzy state, if successful, it was enough to annihilate him..
