Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 122 - Unpopular
Lin Le looked at the centurions who had surrounded him and said, "I'll give you a chance. Step back, or I'll slaughter you all."

The officers of the Demon Slayer Division stopped in their tracks, wisely remaining still.

They weren't powerful centurions like Guan Wenzhong who were deliberately suppressed; they were generally only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, not even at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Faced with a butcher like Lin Le, they naturally valued their lives above all else.

As for Yan Xuandong, who cares? He's not their real boss.

Seeing this, Yan Xuandong's face turned terribly grim: "Who told you to stop? Kill him!"

Still no one moved. All the centurions looked at Yan Xuandong, as if to say, "Why don't you go up here yourself?"

Please, this is the world of cultivation, a world where individual power can move mountains and fill seas, so some rules are different from those of the mortal world.

When going out to slay demons and monsters, it has become an unspoken rule that the leader must take the lead; otherwise, some weaker ones will be instantly killed as soon as they show their faces, wasting manpower.

Clearly, Lin Le had become a formidable opponent that their leader had to hold back.

They weren't blind. Lin Le's two sword strikes just now were clearly divine manipulation, excessively powerful, and definitely beyond what they, as Qi Refining Realm cultivators, could withstand.

But is Yan Xuandong blind? As the one who directly experienced that blow, he knows Lin Le's strength all too well, which is why he sent the centurions to fight.

Because he wasn't confident he could defeat Lin Le, he had the centurions deplete Lin Le's magical power, giving him a better chance of winning.

Unfortunately, the centurions weren't fools; they wouldn't be so stupid as to risk their lives to deplete Lin Le's magical power for Yan Xuan Cave.

Their salaries are limited, and their pensions are often withheld. Why are they risking their lives like this?

"Hahaha, old goat, it seems you're really unpopular." Lin Le laughed, his voice full of sarcasm. "A general who doesn't lead from the front but instead hides behind others, that's all you'll ever be."

"Shut up!" Yan Xuandong's anger was completely ignited. He slashed with his longsword, and a burst of sword energy rushed towards Lin Le.

The red ribbon flew out, catching the sword energy. Then, with a crisp crack, the sword energy turned into wisps of white smoke and dissipated.

Two golden stripes on its body are connected end to end.

As Lin Le's physical body improved, the Hun Tian Ling also became a mid-grade magic weapon and progressed towards becoming an upper-grade magic weapon.

Its second characteristic is moving mountains, and its function is to enhance the power of Lin Le.

Lin Le gripped the gun. At this moment, he had finally completed his advancement, and his physical strength had surged to the level of the Second Elephant, doubling from before.

The Three Realms Spiritual Fire Technique was activated, and the flames of magic power burned within Lin Le's body, while a faint crimson hue permeated the sky above him.

Because the red was so vibrant, completely different from the afterglow of the setting sun, it was visible to everyone present.

Some knowledgeable people immediately recognized what it was and exclaimed, "An extraordinary phenomenon!"

Although not all of them are yet, it is undoubtedly an unusual phenomenon.

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

It was at this moment that Lin Le made his move.

The flames beneath his feet exploded like bombs, and the resulting recoil propelled Lin Le to the front of Yan Xuan Cave.

With a single swing of the spear, a fiery dragon followed.

boom!
Yan Xuandong swung his sword to defend, but was blasted away by a spear.

As the clouds billowed, Yan Xuandong stopped his charge. Just as he was about to look up, he saw Lin Le appear before him like a shadow.

Another shot came down.

Boom!

Yan Xuandong crashed directly to the ground, creating a crater ten feet deep.

His blood and qi surged, but Yan Xuandong had no time to calm down, because Lin Le flashed in front of him again.

There were no words, only the purest killing intent.

Point out the stars!

A perfect killing intent was contained within it. Looking at the spear tip, Yan Xuandong felt the most severe life-or-death crisis of his life. Escape!
The spear pierced the soil silently. Lin Le raised an eyebrow. Yan Xuan had escaped the attack; Yan Xuan was even beyond the range of the teleportation.

'Earth Release?'

Wind and fire gathered beneath his feet, lifting him into the air.

Lin Le turned his gaze, searching for Yan Xuandong's figure.

He then frowned.

Suddenly, Yan Xuandong's body emerged from the ground, and he reached out to grab Qingli, who had been sitting upright.

He realized that Lin Le had a close relationship with this woman, and if he could capture her, he might be able to control Lin Le.

Qingli looked at Yan Xuandong, who was reaching out his hand, her icy blue vertical pupils filled with indifference. With a casual flick of her wrist, two ice crystals pierced Yan Xuandong's eyes.

Yan Xuandong didn't care. They were just two tiny ice crystals. Could they possibly penetrate his magical defenses?

In fact, it is possible!
The ice crystals twisted slightly in the air, and then Yan Xuandong let out a cry of pain:
"Ah, my eyes!"

However, the pair of ice crystals had already pierced Yan Xuandong's eyes, and it was clear that his two eyeballs were temporarily useless.

However, there is no longer an opportunity for Yan Xuandong to provide treatment.

Hearing the wind approaching, Yan Xuandong's hair stood on end, and he wanted to escape again.

However, he was blocked.

The ground beneath his feet was already covered in ice.

Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Yan Xuandong was sent flying, bobbing across the ground as if on water, before finally stopping.

Lin Le landed in front of Qing Li, glanced at her, and after confirming that she was alright, rushed to Yan Xuan Cave.

As the wind and fire swirled, Lin Le slashed down with his spear.

Sunset!

The flames surged and spread out like waves.

Amidst the raging flames, Lin Le lifted Yan Xuandong up by the neck, as if he were a dead dog.

"A dog raised in a greenhouse is indeed vulnerable."

Lin Le gripped Yan Xuandong's neck tightly, gradually increasing the force.

A coughing sound came from the charred Yanxuan Cave, and then he mustered all his strength to cast a spell at Lin Le.

The Divine Piercing Technique is the most common spell related to consciousness, specifically targeting the human soul.

In Yan Xuandong's view, Lin Le's physical body was so strong, so his spiritual sense must be a weakness. Moreover, it seemed that he was only at the first level of cultivation, and his spiritual sense had not grown strong. Compared with Yan Xuandong, who was at the third level of cultivation, his spiritual sense was the weakest of the weak.

Unfortunately, he had no idea what kind of monster was standing in front of him.

The most direct way to judge the strength of a Foundation Establishment cultivator's divine sense is to see how many feet it can extend outward.

Yan Xuan Cave is nine zhang in length, while Lin Le, due to his perfected Soul Refining, already possessed an astonishing ability to project his divine sense ten zhang outwards upon entering a city gate for the first time.

Not to mention that after gaining this fortune, his divine sense was fundamentally different from that of ordinary cultivators.

Therefore, Yan Xuandong's magic was destined to be a futile effort.

Lin Le felt a slight dizziness, then looked coldly at Yan Xuandong: "Is this your trump card? Just like you, weak and powerless."

Yan Xuandong struggled violently, his mouth uttering, "Let me go! The Yan family... won't... cough!"

Lin Le suddenly tightened his grip on his loosened hand, silencing Yan Xuandong's words.

"A tired threat." Lin Le used all his strength to completely break Yan Xuandong's neck.

Yan Xuandong's head drooped, and the life force within him had been completely dissipated by the killing intent.
