Lin Yuan's entire body was stiff, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his cheeks, and his eyes were filled with terror. He could clearly feel the chill of the sword tip that had just touched his skin, penetrating to his bones, and every hair on his body stood on end. He didn't tremble, not because he was brave, but because he dared not, using all his strength to maintain his posture, fearing that even the slightest quiver would trigger any movement from the icy sword tip at his neck.
For some reason, he always felt that if something unexpected happened, the tip of this flying sword would pierce his neck without hesitation.
Maybe it's Fei Jian's stability, maybe it's Zuo Mo's gaze, maybe...
Even if he actually knew that Zuo Mo would never dare kill him, he didn't dare bet on it.
"I give up." Lin Yuan's voice was hoarse and dry, without a hint of the arrogance and superiority he had shown earlier. It echoed through the deathly silence, audible from far and near.
The chill on the side of his neck disappeared without warning.
Lin Yuan's heart finally returned to his stomach, he swallowed hard and looked at Zuo Mo with a mixture of fear and trepidation, as well as the quietly floating Water Droplet Sword in front of his chest. In his mind, there was only one thought - this person was not to be trifled with!
At this time, the onlookers finally reacted, and suddenly there was a burst of noise. Everyone's face was filled with incredulity. No one had expected that the entire battle would end so quickly! When Lin Yuan took out the fourth-grade "Emperor Yang Sword", almost everyone in their hearts had already declared victory for Lin Yuan.
The gap between the fourth-grade flying sword and the third-grade flying sword is huge!
But with just one move, Lin Yuan was defeated.
Among the onlookers, a pair of eyes hidden in the shadows flashed with a cold glint.
Lin Yan composed himself, and with a pretended air of openness, he said: "I lost. You can take any one of the magical artifacts on me at will." For someone like him, what they feared most was losing both technique and face. Losing a match wasn't a big deal; he could still gather these people around him, relying not on martial prowess but... If he were to lose even that, his authority would be utterly swept away.
But his heart was still pounding, but he mustn't provoke...
"About Lin Shixiong's spiritual armor," Zuo Mo said.
"Good!" Lin Yuan hastily agreed, afraid that Zuo Mo would change his mind. What he feared most was Zuo Mo taking the four-product "Emperor Yang Sword". Although the "Luo Yue Xuan Gui Armor" on him was an extreme product of three-product spiritual armor, and it had taken a lot of effort to get it, its value still couldn't be compared to the "Emperor Yang Sword". The "Emperor Yang Sword" was a sword given by the sect leader, if he lost it, he would be in trouble.
Lin Yuan quickly took off the Ling Jia from his body and threw it to Zuo Mo, saying with a pretentious tone: "Zuo brother is really something, Lin Yuan admires you wholeheartedly. We didn't know each other before fighting, but now I've made friends with Zuo brother for sure! If there's anything that needs my help in the future, just speak up!"
Zuo Mo hastily cupped his hands: "Brother Lin's demeanor is extraordinary, I admire you, to be able to interact with someone like Brother Lin, I feel deeply honored!" His hands moved swiftly and without courtesy, quickly putting on the newly acquired 'Luo Yue Xuan Gui Jia'.
Luo Yue's Xuan Gui Jia Tong body is dark black, composed of 36 pieces of Xuan Gui's back shell, refined from the essence of Luo Yue, with excellent defensive capabilities. As soon as he put it on, Zuo Mo judged that this set of spiritual armor was far superior to the one given by Yan Le Shi Bo, being both comfortable and breathable. Moreover, the spiritual power contained in the Xuan Gui's back shell slowly seeped into Zuo Mo's body, feeling incredibly comfortable.
Zuo Mo was secretly pleased, completely ignoring the sighs of the onlookers. Of course, he knew that in terms of value, Lin Xuan's four-product "Emperor Yang Sword" surpassed this "Luo Yue Xuan Gui Armor", but this was exactly where his true cleverness lay. If he wanted the "Emperor Yang Sword", although embarrassed by face, Lin Xuan would also hand over the four-product "Emperor Yang Sword". However, in doing so, the matter would be blown up. Four-product flying swords were rare even within the Wu Kong Sword Sect, and among all the disciples, only Wei Sheng's "Li Hong" was a four-product sword.
Having taken this flying sword, just wait for the other party's sect elder to come knocking on the door!
Not only that, but the grudge with Lin Yuan has also been formed, and it's a deadly one, he absolutely hates himself to the bone! Moreover, this "Emperor Yang Sword" is not suitable for Zuo Mo to use, and taking it out can only be exchanged for crystal stones. As for the "Luo Yue Xuan Gui Armor", he can now put it on, and with its increased defensive power, his confidence in making a profit from this trip has also increased.
In someone else's territory, being too arrogant will lead to a miserable death!
Zuo Mo took advantage of the situation and also gave Lin Xuan enough face. Lin Xuan kept the "Emperor Yang Sword" and gained face, his mood suddenly improved greatly. As for the "Luo Yue Xuan Gui Jia", it was just a third-grade treasure, he didn't even put it in his eyes.
Lin Yuan handed another jade slip to Zuo Mo and said, "This jade slip records the method of using the 'Luo Yue Xuan Gui Jia'. Today, this armor is in the hands of heroes like Brother Zuo, and I am honored to be a part of it." He then looked around and said loudly, "Brother Zuo fought one against five, his bravery is truly admirable. But our Lingyun Sect is not the kind to take advantage of others. I propose that after each battle, Brother Zuo can rest for half an hour to recover his spiritual power, to show fairness. What do you all think?"
Lin Yuan's action instantly triggered applause from many people.
"Lin Shixiong is indeed an open and honest person!"
"Unexpectedly, this disciple of Lingying Sect has such a temperament, it's not easy, not easy!"
Whether they were Lingying's disciples or onlookers, all of them couldn't help but praise her.
Zuo Mo took over the jade slip and praised loudly: "Brother Lin, you are indeed a true hero!"
Only the three people who were about to go into battle next had extremely poor complexions, and their gazes towards Lin Yuan were filled with resentment. As for Chang Shi Xiong, he was staring at Zuo Mo, his expression thoughtful.
Zuo Mo hadn't expected things to turn out this way. Seeing the gazes of the other three, Zuo Mo's heart was like a clear mirror. Heh heh, Lin Yuan had actually helped him greatly!
With this jade slip, he can save a lot of groping. Half an hour is enough for him to roughly understand the method of using this spiritual armor. As for recovering his spiritual power, in the previous trial, he basically didn't consume any spiritual power.
Lin Yuan turned left and cupped his hands, proudly returning to his team. His appearance didn't show any signs of defeat. The disciples who followed him also flattered him, praising Lin Yuan's demeanor as vast as the sea. Lin Yuan pretended to be calm on the surface but sneered in his heart. He had deliberately lost the first round by giving away the method of using "Luo Yue Xuan Gui Jia", and if he was defeated by his competitor, then no matter how successful this performance was, it would have been pointless.
He pretended to be generous and gave the "Luo Yue Xuan Gui Jia" to Zuo Mo, also proposing that after each battle, Zuo Mo could rest for half a time unit. All of this was just a ploy to deal with the several people behind him. Helping Zuo Mo increase his strength was actually a way to strike at his opponents. If those few guys all lost, he would still be glorious in defeat, and other people wouldn't even think about learning from him, let alone have the same effect.
Several others were unable to refute Lin Yuan's "reasonable" request and could only sit with their faces dark, looking left and right.
Half a time, Zuo Mo finally opened his eyes. He was overjoyed in his heart, this "Luo Yue Xuan Gui Jia" was indeed good stuff, the turtle shell had natural talismans, once activated, flying swords couldn't hurt him.
The second Lingying Sect disciple had been waiting impatiently and as soon as Zuo Mo opened his eyes, he walked out.
With a swift motion, she tore off her bright red cloak, revealing a suit of armor underneath.
From the moment he snatched the cloak from his opponent, Zuo Mo's eyes snapped straight.
This guy...
Not to mention the radiant spiritual armor on his body, nor the pair of top-grade protective cuffs, or even the bright red "Crimson Bull Head Boots" on his feet. Luo Mo didn't say a word, his eyes fixed intently on the other person's waist, wrists, and chest...
On his waist, a stack of paper charms were tied, in all sorts of colors, making one suspect that this guy was actually selling paper charms. Second-grade Turtle Shell Charm, Second-grade Ghostly Shadow Charm, Second-grade Imperial Five Thunder Charm.
At the wrist, a circle of colorful disposable talismans was tied, including two pieces of "Sharp-headed Snake Arrow", two pieces of "Dot Star", and two pieces of "Micro Rain Double Flying Swallow"...
A few pouches hung from his chest, emitting wafting medicinal scents. For Zuo Mo, who made a living by refining medicine, these smells were all too familiar. The Revival Spirit Pill that restored spiritual energy was definitely not lower than second-grade; the Red Flower Pill used to treat injuries and stop bleeding was also not lower than second-grade; the Peach-colored Pill with its unique sweet fragrance was a second-grade poisonous miasma...
On both sides of his legs, one side was attached with two pieces of "Mahavairocana's Sun and Moon Wheels", the other side was attached with two pieces of "Heavenly Net".
……
It's not just Zuo Mo, all the cultivators who were watching also stared blankly at this moment.
Yan Mingzi chuckled and said: "It seems that Wang Shixiong is going all out, he had planned to use his ultimate move, the Medicine Symbol Flow from the very beginning."
Hu Shan looked at Wang Shixiong, who was fully armed on the field, with a lingering fear in his heart: "Only when you personally experience it can you know the power of Wang Shixiong's talisman flow!" He had once fought a match against Wang Shixiong before, and the entire field was suppressed, beaten to the point where he could hardly lift his head.
Yan Mingzi nodded in deep agreement: "There are countless seniors in our school who use talismans and medicine, but none have ever used them to such an extreme, such a divine level as Brother Wang."
Hu Shan said: "Wang Shixiong still has real talent and material."
Yan Mingzi added a sentence: "His family background is really strong too!"
The two of them couldn't help but fall silent. Although the Lingying Sect disciples all came from good families, there were still significant differences among them. Someone like Wang Shixiong, who dared to use talismans and medicine to such an extreme degree, must have come from a very wealthy family; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to do so. The core idea of the Symbol Flow was something everyone understood - exchanging crystal stones for victory. But knowing and being able to put it into practice were two different things altogether.
And Wang Shixiong's talismanic medicine also reconfirmed a truth that has existed for countless years: In this world, when you use enough crystal stones to smash someone, most of the time you can be victorious.
Wang Shixiong may be far inferior to Lin Yuan in terms of character, but his symbol medicine is still quite prestigious in the Lingying Sect. When he tore off his cloak and revealed all his wealth, all the Lingying Sect disciples suddenly became excited. Because in the Lingying Sect, the vast majority of disciples firmly believe in one truth, that is, whoever has more crystal stones is right!
But for those passing monks, the scene in front of them brought an impact that was beyond compare.
How can someone arm themselves to such an outrageous extent in this day and age?
