Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 111 Teasing the County Magistrate

Seeing Zhang, the county magistrate, who was as imposing as an iron tower and exuded an aura that could scare away a thousand troops, Lin Le brandished his spear and thrust it forward.

boom!
Both of them stomped backward with both feet, cracking the bricks on the ground.

'This imperial aura is really troublesome.'

Lin Le frowned inwardly. Although he had performed by the riverbank at noon, which had weakened the oppressive aura of the emperor, the remaining oppressive aura was still enough to give him a hard time.

County Commandant Zhang frowned. He was certain that Lin Le was being suppressed by the imperial aura, but he hadn't expected that Lin Le could still hold his own against him under such circumstances.

We absolutely cannot let him get away!
The fact that Zhang, the county magistrate, had this idea allowed him to escape shows he was unaware of the great trouble it would cause.

The clouds part and the mountains separate!

County Lieutenant Zhang raised his sword and then fiercely slashed at Lin Le.

Lin Le, however, did not take the hit head-on. Instead, he lightly touched the ground with his foot, leaving an afterimage in the same spot.

boom!
The blade pierced the ground, splitting a trench four or five zhang long.

Looking at the dissipating phantom, County Lieutenant Zhang frowned, and then he heard panicked sounds coming from beside him.

Turning around, I saw Lin Le slaughtering the guests.

He couldn't deal with County Magistrate Zhang in a short time, but dealing with the others was a piece of cake.

County Commandant Zhang was furious. He then looked at Yan Changchun and saw him standing there motionless. He was even more enraged: "Hey, Yan, what the hell are you standing there for!"

Yan Changchun did not move, but then he suddenly slashed out with his sword, aiming at County Commandant Zhang.

In his eyes, Lin Le and County Lieutenant Zhang were fighting each other, while he had just taken advantage of the situation to strike Lin Le.

"Nima's!"

County Lieutenant Zhang immediately drew his sword and shattered the sword energy; he understood the current situation.

"Damn it, you bastard, you actually used illusion magic!"

County Commandant Zhang roared at Lin Le, to which Lin Le responded with only a middle finger.

Damn it, Yan Changchun, you're a piece of trash too!

County Commandant Zhang gritted his teeth and roared at Yan Changchun, "Useless trash, wake up now!"

The sound was so loud that it seemed to distort the air itself.

The illusion in Yan Changchun's eyes shattered immediately, revealing the real scene.

Seeing the blood everywhere, Yan Changchun was taken aback and asked in bewilderment, "What happened?"

Everything was fine just now, how did it suddenly change like this?

With a loud clang, he saw Lin Le clash with County Lieutenant Zhang, gun in hand.

The impact caused the barrier to open, and County Lieutenant Zhang immediately landed beside Yan Changchun.

"Where's the official seal? Quickly use the imperial aura to break the illusion!" Zhang, the county magistrate, roared as soon as he saw Yan Changchun regain his senses.

Illusion?

Yan Changchun's eyes narrowed, realizing what had just happened. He immediately took out the official seal he had just put away, intending to use imperial aura to break the illusion.

Imperial aura suppresses all evil and also has a restraining effect on illusions.

Then he saw Lin Le across from him shout, "Idiot, that's not me!"

His voice was rough and similar to that of County Magistrate Zhang; not so much similar, but exactly the same.

what? !

Yan Changchun's pupils contracted, and then a sharp pain shot through his wrist.

Without a second thought, Yan Changchun mustered all his strength and slashed at "County Lieutenant Zhang" beside him with his sword.

"County Lieutenant Zhang" flashed by, taking the bloodstained official seal with him as he left.

In a flash, his body twisted and he transformed into a handsome young man.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat quiet. Yan Changchun and County Lieutenant Zhang also looked at the young man who had thrown away his official seal with grim expressions.

"Transformation magic, illusion magic, good, good, very good!" Yan Changchun said through gritted teeth, pressing his left hand with its broken wrist.

The instant he broke the illusion, Lin Le immediately transformed into County Magistrate Zhang and cast another layer of illusion on him.

Yan Changchun was still dazed from being yelled at, and he fell right into the trap.

"So, you two, are you ready to die?" Lin Le smiled, his powerful true qi surging into the official seal, destroying the restrictions and gaining control.

The imperial aura gathered and immediately suppressed Yan Changchun and County Commandant Zhang.

Neither of them had any popular support, and they immediately faced suppression several times stronger than Lin Le.

However, Lin Le soon sensed that someone wanted to compete with him for control of the imperial aura.

Lin Le's gaze fell on Zhang, the county magistrate, who had taken out his official seal.

County Lieutenant Zhang grinned maliciously, "Have you forgotten that there's another county lieutenant here?"

Lin Le grinned maliciously at him: "Don't you know I have accomplices?"

No sooner said than done, a white gust of wind rushed in with lightning speed and snatched the official seal from the hands of County Magistrate Zhang.

County Magistrate Zhang's smile froze as he looked at the tall figure slowly walking in through the doorway. Beside her stood ice sculptures, clearly frozen people who were trying to escape in the chaos.

The official seal fell into her slender, delicate hand. Her icy blue eyes gazed indifferently at County Magistrate Zhang and Yan Changchun, and her red lips parted slightly as she spoke:
"Ah Le, all the water ghosts in the waterways have been cleared out."

"Understood." Lin Le nodded slightly, then looked at Yan Changchun. "Old dog, are you trying to frame me with your water ghost?"

"But you probably didn't expect that I'd come to take your life so soon."

Yan Changchun gritted his teeth: "Boy, I am a member of the Yan family of the county town. If you kill me, it won't just be a few powerful cultivators from the city gates coming to take your life!"

His words already carried a hint of pleading.

"Fool, do you think I'm as stupid as you?" Lin Le sneered. "At this point, what difference does it make whether I kill you or not? Since the Yan family already holds a grudge against me, I'll naturally kill the one who deserves to be killed."

"Besides, I'm replenishing my mana. What are you waiting for, to die?"

As they spoke, Lin Le's voice grew louder as it approached Yan Changchun's side.

Casting an illusion spell on a Foundation Establishment cultivator is no easy task. It's only because Lin Letian has achieved success in Soul Refining that he could cast an illusion spell on a powerful cultivator like Yan Changchun, even if it meant crossing realms.

Even so, in just a few breaths, he had exhausted most of his spiritual power.

While he was speaking, he was using the Soul-Nourishing Dew to quickly restore his spiritual power.

Yan Changchun was horrified, and a layer of blue protective shield surged around his body.

boom!
Lin Le swung his spear down, knocking Yan Changchun to his knees, but the spearhead failed to penetrate the protective shield.

A whooshing sound rang out as County Lieutenant Zhang seized the opportunity to raise his sword and slash horizontally at Lin Le.

The Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) took action on its own, pulling and tugging, which swayed County Magistrate Zhang.

County Magistrate Zhang was about to come again when a chill swept over him as Qing Li charged in.

Seeing that he had failed to kill Yan Changchun with a single blow, Lin Le's eyes turned ruthless, and he directly used a killing move.

Dragon and Tiger Fight!
Thunder roared and flames surged, engulfing Yan Changchun in an instant.

With a mournful cry, the flames subsided, and Lin Le pierced Yan Changchun with his spear, but a long sword also appeared in Yan's chest.

That was Yan Changchun's desperate attack on Lin Le as he was dying.

"Ah Le!" Qing Li exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

"I'm fine." Lin Le raised his hand and pulled the long sword out of his chest.

Yan Changchun hadn't expected this move, because this old dog seemed to have no guts at all, and he never thought that he would try to take someone down with him when he was about to die.

However, this was not a big problem for Lin Le. Although he didn't have time to dodge, his reaction speed allowed him to adjust his posture beforehand to prevent the sword from damaging his vital organs.

Lin Le casually wiped his chest wound, which had already healed. He coughed forcefully, and a mouthful of blood flew to the ground, then turned greenish-blue, which was Yan Changchun's magic power at work.
