New and dark light years

Chapter 40 I Don’t Know There Is Another
Li Lin looked at the wall of fire behind him, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

The talismans in the flames emitted a golden glow. He stared at them and [Talisman +1] appeared continuously.

"This guy is very troublesome. We can only use martial arts to deal with him. Magic cannot be used. Let's disperse first..." Su Huafang said while paying attention to the positioning of his teammates: "Li Xunshou, you stand behind."

According to common sense, Li Lin's combat capability should be the worst among the three. It is indeed a reasonable judgment for him to wait for an opportunity to provide support in the rear.

Li Lin listened to the advice and immediately took a few steps back.

At this time, Su Huafang and the other two had already attacked.

All three of them were armed with short weapons. Su Huafang used a pair of judge's pens, and Bai Liwei used two short swords.

As for Zhao Hao, he used both fists.

The three men besieged Zhang Zuoqing at the same time, but they were unable to defeat him for a long time.

The opponent was not only very good at footwork and had a strong ability to move around, but there was also a yellow energy outside his body that could deflect the attacks of the three people.

Many times, the combined attack of the three would be about to hit Zhang Zuoqing, but the attack would be deflected by the energy or their bodies would be bounced away.

Whenever this happened, there would be a gap in the attacks of the three people, and Zhang Zuoqing would take the opportunity to pop out a yellow talisman.

The yellow talisman will turn into a canopy of blue fire, or it will turn into a gust of strong wind, forcing people away for a short distance, causing the three people's combined strength to reveal a flaw.

[Spell +1]

[Spell +1]

Li Lin watched very seriously, and at the same time his hands began to slowly form seals.

After fighting for a while, the four of them were all out of breath.

There is a way to do this. Zhang Zuoqing underestimated the spirit hunters.

Although talismans can indeed restrain Yin energy, the problem is that spirit hunters also practice martial arts in addition to Yin energy.

These three were all veterans, and they beat Zhang Qingzuo back step by step, without giving him the chance to use attacking spells.

However, the three spirit hunters were unable to defeat the other side for the time being, and both sides seemed to have stopped intentionally.

And at this time, Li Lin finally took action.

He had been slowly forming seals, deliberately suppressing the signs of the outbreak of Yin energy, and now was the final moment.

As the last gesture was completed, the Yin energy in his body burst out and transformed into a stream of energy on his head and face, guiding it to form in the thunder and lightning clouds.

This action was too covert, and Zhang Zuoqing's attention was on the three people in front of him, and he didn't notice Li Lin at all.

First, blue and red electric chains fell from the sky, and then screams were heard.

The clothes on Zhang Zuoqing exploded in an instant, leaving only a few strips of cloth hanging on his body, and his face and body turned pitch black, as if they had been roasted.

"The Thunder Curse... The Thunder Curse generated by Yin Qi, how is it possible!"

He was shouting and backing away, looking somewhat crazy, but because his body was struck by lightning and was still paralyzed, he retreated slowly.

Seeing this, Su Huafang and others first looked back at Li Lin in surprise, and then rushed forward at the same time.

Take advantage of his illness and kill him.

The three men stepped forward and slashed with pens and bayonets, but Zhao Hao finally hit them in the heart with a punch. They flew backwards and hit the city wall, then bounced back.

He lay on the ground, looking at Li Lin in the distance, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

Then he exhaled and died.

Then Su Huafang shouted: "Let's go first..."

But before they could finish their words, a cloud of arrows fell behind the four of them, blocking their retreat.

They looked up and found more than twenty people standing on the city wall, each holding a crossbow in his hand.

Zhang Minsheng stood on the city wall, holding a torch high.

He looked at the dead Zhang Zuoqing below and snorted, "What a waste! He said he could restrain all the spirit hunters in the world, but he died just like that."

Zhang Minsheng then looked at Li Lin and said, "Young man, you're quite good. Huang Xiu stole the Thunder Curse from me. It's only been about ten days since I gave it to you, and you've already mastered it so skillfully. No wonder... the Huang family thinks so highly of you."

Li Lin looked at the other party quietly. He was pointed at by several crossbows and felt his scalp tingling.

He didn't want to talk. "It's a cold night outside, and there's a strange ghost nearby. Please come in, my four friends," Zhang Minsheng said with a smile.

Speaking of weirdness, the four spirit hunters subconsciously looked at their waists.

The white jade plate did not light up...there was no movement at all.

This is very strange, because they are clearly outside the imperial realm.

Zhang Minsheng also frowned.

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind Li Lin and the others: "Four friends, I'm very sorry that Huang is a little late, but I have finally caught up."

After that, a man in a white robe came in the moonlight.

Behind him, a large number of torches quickly ignited, soon forming an arched fire dragon that surrounded the entire fortress.

Zhang Minsheng's expression turned ugly: "Huang Xiu, didn't you return to the capital?"

"You believe what I said casually!" Huang Xiu walked over with a curved knife on his shoulder. "If I hadn't said I was going back, how could you have revealed your true identity?"

Huang Xiu walked over to Li Lin, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Li Lin raised his eyebrows, somewhat puzzled.

Huang Xiu said helplessly, "I didn't want you to get involved in this, but your father-in-law...your county magistrate said that official matters should be handled impartially. If his son Huang Qi was a spirit hunter, he would have been assigned to participate in this matter as well, so please don't blame him, okay?"

Li Lin immediately understood that the four of them were... bait.

Then more than a dozen shield soldiers rushed in and surrounded the four people.

Zhang Minsheng looked at the situation below and snorted, "Huang Xiu, the True Lord is still in our hands, aren't you afraid that we will destroy the altar?"

"It doesn't matter. Do you really think we don't know that Red Bat Master has been controlled by the Qin family? Do whatever you want!"

Zhang Minsheng looked at Huang Xiu with hatred, his eyes wide open.

Huang Xiu smiled and said, "Please move to the back, the rest will be left to us."

The four of them naturally followed suit and retreated behind the army formation.

Then here he saw an acquaintance.

"Zijing, why are you here?"

Huang Qi came over and said with a smile, "Actually, I'm still the local county lieutenant!"

The county lieutenant is an official in charge of local constables and local troops, and is under the control of the county magistrate.

Li Lin sighed, "Your Huang family really does promote talented people regardless of their kinship."

"The spot will be yours soon!"

Li Lin subconsciously pointed at himself and said, "It's not my turn anyway. There are many spirit hunters who are better than me."

"This position isn't a path for advancement for spirit hunters, but rather a position to be the county magistrate's right-hand man."

"So where are you going? Are you going to Beijing to take the exam?"

"I'm going to Tianjin. The noble man I told you about will be here soon. I have to meet him and do what he wants."

As Huang Qi finished speaking, a volley of rockets was fired from the front, and a sky full of fire shot into the fortress.

Everyone looked over there and actually felt that the scene was quite beautiful.

However, this beauty is a murderous intent for the people in the Demon Extermination Department in the fortress.

Li Lin sighed and asked, "So what are the causes and consequences of this matter? Can you tell me?"

Huang Qi nodded and said, "It's okay to tell you. After you reported the Bobai Military Town incident to father last time, he sensed there was something hidden. He reported the matter to the court, then secretly sent people to contact the Wang and Ding families. He also seconded my cousin back and combined the forces and clues of the other two families. He finally figured out some of the Qin family's arrangements. Then we will use their tricks to lure Zhang Minsheng here and trap him to death here."

"What is their purpose?"

"I'm not sure about that, but they're collecting ghosts!" Huang Qi whispered, "Zhang Minsheng plans to 'steal' this True Lord as well, then kill you and pin the blame on you, thereby implicating my father!"

"One True Lord?" Li Lin frowned and asked, "Aren't there two True Lords?"
