Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 231 - Settling Grudges

Xu Lingzi glanced at the great formation, then looked at Lin Le and couldn't help but frown, because Lin Le's cultivation had actually reached the first stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which did not match the information he had received.

But the arrow was already on the bowstring, and it had to be released!

Upon seeing that Lin Le's cultivation had reached the first stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his killing intent intensified.

He had a feeling that if he didn't deal with Lin Le today, Lin Le would deal with him tomorrow.

Xu Lingzi drew his sword, and with a sweep of the longsword, sword energy shot towards Lin Le like countless threads.

Lin Le held the Fire-Tipped Spear and pointed it forward. A vortex of crimson flames rose from the tip of the spear, evaporating all the sword energy.

With a single step, he appeared before Xu Lingzi, then slashed down with his spear. Blood dragons coiled around his arms, and a blood phoenix spread its wings and flew on his back.

Boom!
With voices as loud as bells, the two men, each holding a gun and sword, stood locked in a stalemate in mid-air.

In the first exchange, the master and disciple were evenly matched.

As Xu Lingzi felt the force transmitted from the longsword, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

It's important to know that physical training takes much longer than traditional cultivation.

But Lin Le, who was nearly eighteen, was actually able to hold his own against him.

He was at the Elephant Throwing Realm, and it took him over a thousand years to reach his current level. What makes Lin Le think he can?
Greed spread through his heart like locusts. He had thought that Lin Le's rapid progress in the early stages was due to the help of demonic arts.

But looking at it now, Lin Le has a great secret and a great destiny!

Xu Lingzi swept his sword aside, and the sword energy surged towards Lin Le like a cloud of waves. The sword intent within was even sharper than the last, as if it could tear apart even space.

Lin Le's eyes blazed with fighting spirit, and he slashed forward with his Fire-Tipped Spear, the trajectory of which seemed both straight and curved.

Sunset!

The three-legged golden crow rose up and collided with the overwhelming sword energy.

boom--

The shockwave exploded, carrying golden-red flames that swept outwards, scorching the vegetation within a radius of dozens of miles until it turned dry and yellow.

The blood dragon patterns on his arms spun rapidly, his muscles bulging like dragons. Lin Le took a step, rushed through the air currents, and got close to Xu Lingzi again.

Lightning-attracting pool!
The gunfire poured down like a torrential rain, each strike accompanied by a bolt of lightning.

Gunfire raged, transforming this place into a veritable minefield.

Xu Lingzi's expression changed slightly. He swung his long sword rapidly, the sword light as white as snow, weaving an impenetrable sword net around him to block the lightning that surged like ten thousand snakes.

The more he fought, the more surprised he became. Xu Lingzi could sense the martial intent and Dao intent contained in those attacks. He could match them in martial intent, but he was actually at a disadvantage in Dao intent.

But Lin Le doesn't have a precious body or a Dao body, so how could his true meaning progress so quickly!
This must be a great blessing!

Greed began to grow in Xu Lingzi's eyes. Suddenly, he made a hand seal with his left hand and shouted in a low voice, "Condense!"

In an instant, an extremely cold black aura surged out from his body, transforming into countless ferocious ghostly shadows that roared and pounced on Lin Le.

These ghostly figures contain extremely strong malevolent and turbid energy. Once you come into contact with them, your physical body will quickly decay, and your soul will also be eroded.

Lin Le snorted coldly, and the golden ring behind him shone as brightly as the sun, emitting a dazzling golden light that collided with the ghostly figure.

sizzle-

The ghostly figures intertwined with the golden light, emitting a piercing corrosive sound. However, the golden light, as the righteous energy of heaven and earth, was the nemesis of all evil in the world.

After a brief stalemate, the golden light completely purified all the ghostly figures.

Xu Lingzi narrowed his eyes, knowing that he would have to use his true abilities to completely suppress Lin Le.

The longsword in his hand suddenly emitted a blinding cold light, and dense cloud patterns appeared on the blade.

With a single step, his figure flickered like a phantom, and in the next instant, he appeared above Lin Le.

With a single slash, the sword energy poured down like the Milky Way from the heavens.

With this sword strike, Xu Lingzi locked onto Lin Le with his full sword intent, determined to make him suffer this blow.

Under the lock of sword intent, Lin Le felt as if the surrounding space had been frozen, leaving him with no way to escape.

His eyes showed no fear, only a burning fighting spirit that burned ever brighter.

"Well done!"

Lin Le shouted loudly, activated the Samadhi True Fire Technique, and his aura surged violently.

Facing the falling Milky Way, Lin Le thrust out with his spear, as if to punish on behalf of Heaven.

Extinction of the Thunder Pole!

clang--

The clang of metal against metal resounded through the heavens, and a terrifying shockwave surged outwards like waves. Within a thousand feet, mountains collapsed, and the earth churned up like a vast ocean of mud. "Old bastard, your sword seems to be nothing special after all!"

Lin Le's skin flushed slightly as he looked at Xu Lingzi with a mocking smile.

Xu Lingzi's expression was grim, and he said sharply, "You're courting death!"

The next moment, the two clashed again, their spears and swords flashing, their battle causing the heavens and earth to change color.

The battle raged fiercely, the two locked in a deadly struggle, neither gaining the upper hand.

boom!
Once again, it was a collision that caused the heavens and earth to change color as Lin Le's Fire-Tipped Spear and Xu Lingzi's longsword clashed.

Just then, Xu Lingzi suddenly changed his move, turning his sword into thousands of long threads of sword energy that wrapped around Lin Le like a spider web.

Although the sword energy threads were thin, under the enhancement of Xu Lingzi's sharp and unstoppable sword intent, they seemed capable of tearing apart even space.

Lin Le's pupils contracted slightly, and he brandished his spear, drawing a perfect arc around his body.

No leaks!

Like a dragon sucking water, the long strands of sword energy were gathered together, and then, with Lin Le pointing his spear, these long strands of sword energy surged back towards Xu Lingzi.

With a slash of his longsword, Xu Lingzi sent the long strands of sword energy back into the blade.

Then he made another slash, as if carving a large hole in the sky.

Scars and ripped silk!

clang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed for a long time. Lin Le swallowed the blood and a bloodshot look appeared in his eyes.

As flesh and blood grew, he gained two more heads and four more arms.

"Great supernatural power, three heads and six arms!"

Seeing this, Xu Lingzi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He hadn't expected Lin Le to possess such a supernatural ability.

Lin Le didn't reply, but the fiery wheel beneath his feet burst into flames, leaving a red line in the sky.

Holding guns in both hands, a golden ring in one hand, and a red ribbon in the other, Lin Le launched a fierce attack on Xu Lingzi like a storm.

Xu Lingzi was suddenly beaten into a sorry state.

Moreover, as time went on, Lin Le became more and more familiar with the wonders of the Out-of-Body Realm, and his combat power gradually increased, suppressing Xu Lingzi to an absolute disadvantage.

Boom!
The cauldron struck Xu Lingzi's chest, producing a cracking sound as his bones broke.

Xu Lingzi retreated rapidly, his face ashen: "Very well, my good disciple, I really underestimated you!"

As he spoke, his aura surged, and a phantom a hundred feet tall appeared behind him. He had actually used a secret technique to borrow a portion of the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Without hesitation, Lin Le produced a jade tablet in his hand and crushed it.

Then, the Yin and Yang energies of heaven and earth converged, and a giant palm slammed down on Xu Lingzi.

"Mysterious Heavenly Handprint!"

Xu Lingzi was taken aback; he hadn't expected Yun Xiaozi to give Lin Le a Daoist tablet for protection.

Damn!

As Xu Lingzi raised his longsword, the phantom behind him also raised its longsword and slashed at the giant handprint.

boom!
The extreme shockwave surged outwards, and even the great array formed by the Yin-Yang Twin Swords almost couldn't withstand the aftershocks.

"Cough!" Xu Lingzi coughed up blood, his expression wary.

Suddenly, a figure with three heads and six arms appeared before him.

As if reacting to an emergency, Xu Lingzi slashed with his sword, easily splitting him in two.

Fractal and scattered images!

Xu Lingzi's pupils contracted, and he was immediately terrified, realizing he had been tricked.

They tried to escape, but it was too late.

Innate Divine Power: Primordial Fire!

With his magical power burning, Lin Le's true form appeared behind Xu Lingzi, and then all six of his hands shot out, launching a deafening attack on Xu Lingzi.

The sun and moon revolve, cleansing the universe!
A rainbow of light pierced through the heavens and earth, flesh and blood were dissolved, bones were obliterated, and even the nascent soul was shattered amidst three resounding roars!

"Do not--"

Lin Le stood in the void, leaving only a lingering echo of resentment.
