From a country cook to a master chef

Facing the relentless advance of the wolf pack, Lin Jue showed no fear, holding the Dragon Pattern Shield and calmly watching the young man from the Beast Taming Sect.

Seeing this, Dian Chu was furious and embarrassed, his face extremely ugly. He never expected that a mere mortal martial artist would dare to look down on him so much.

Although the wolves under his command were not demonic beasts, they had been enhanced by the Beast Taming Sect's unique secret techniques, making them far more ferocious and brutal than ordinary wolf packs.

With this pack of wolves, Dian Chu once besieged several nameless rogue cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, killing several of them in succession, and his fearsome reputation spread far and wide among the low-level disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.

"What's your name? I, Dian, am a philanthropist. After I kill you, I might be in a good mood and erect a tombstone for you."

With a furious grin on his face, Dian Chu commanded the wolf pack to surround Lin Jue and curiously inquired about the other names.

"They're nobodies, not worth mentioning, and it's still too early to tell who will win."

Lin Jue smiled lightly, and the moment his words fell, he shot towards the young man from the Beast Taming Sect like an arrow released from a bow.

"court death!"

Seeing the guy in front of him so tactless, actually trying to kill him first, Dian Chu, who thought he had the upper hand, was instantly enraged.

He tapped the jade token in his hand and immediately issued an order to the wolf pack. Streaks of yellow light flew into the heads of the wolves, and the next second, all the wolves became bloodthirsty and ferocious, rushing towards Lin Jue.

Faced with the wolves that kept rushing towards him, Lin Jue remained calm and composed, continuously wielding his dragon-patterned griddle, catching one wolf after another, forcing the wolf pack to retreat steadily.

Seeing this, Dian Chu looked surprised and his eyes suddenly fixed on the frying pan in Lin Jue's hand.

He never expected that this mortal martial artist would possess such a treasure. He was just worried about not being able to find suitable iron to forge a handy weapon.

Lin Jue was unaware of what Dian Chu was thinking at that moment. After wielding the dragon-patterned ao and taking down the last wild wolf, he moved swiftly and approached him.

"Junior Brother Yu, make your move!"

Dian Chu witnessed Lin Jue's swift killing of the wolf pack and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. After all, this wolf pack was one he had painstakingly led. Although he was furious, he didn't lose his temper. He coldly smiled and whispered an order to his junior brother Yu beside him.

After seeing Lin Jue and Zhao Xiaoyao appear, he ostensibly ordered his junior brother Yu Jin to kill the remaining two Yanxia Sect disciples. In reality, fearing something might happen, he secretly instructed his junior brother Yu Jin to use a secret method to activate an imperial edict talisman for future use.

At this moment, Yu Jin shouted loudly, and the red light of the imperial edict in his hand gradually intensified, with wisps of fire emerging from it.

Seeing this, Lin Jue was shocked. The other party actually used four Fire Talismans at once, which really made him think highly of himself.

"Brother Lin, be careful. That's the Four Directions Flame Talisman of the Spirit Talisman Sect. It's not a simple Fire Command Talisman. Once this talisman is used, it will transform into a four-sided wall of flames to trap your opponent. Be careful not to fall into its fire talisman trap."

Zhao Xiaoyao's pretty face twitched, her eyes darted around, and she immediately realized that something was wrong, so she spoke up to remind Lin Jue.

The Beast Taming Sect is not skilled in the art of runes. Many of the rune cultivators from the six sects have deep ties with the Spirit Rune Sect. Zhao Xiaoyao once exchanged rune techniques with a senior brother from the Spirit Rune Sect and was quite familiar with the famous Four Directions Flame.

Upon hearing this, Lin Jue, who had previously disregarded the Fire Talisman, turned pale and became somewhat flustered.

He had once possessed three Fire Talismans and knew that although the talisman's power was terrifying, it could be dodged if one was fast enough. To make the talisman effective, one had to catch the opponent off guard.

Lin Jue knew the weakness of the Fire Talisman, and the two from the Beast Taming Sect thought he didn't understand the art of talismans, so they openly activated the talisman. He originally wanted to use this as a pretext to get rid of the two, but he never expected that this was not the Fire Talisman at all.

At that moment, four fiery talismans flew out from Yu Jin's hand, transforming into four crimson rainbows that fiercely split into four directions, attempting to control Lin Jue within them.

Having learned of the talisman's threat from Zhao Xiaoyao, Lin Jue dared not be careless. He pushed off the ground with both feet and exerted tremendous force, arriving in front of the astonished Beast Taming Sect disciple at a speed exceeding that of the talisman.

He grinned coldly, swung the dragon-patterned axe, and struck the man in the face, knocking him unconscious before taking the Four Directions Flame Talisman.

Dian Chu's face instantly turned pale, his previous smugness vanished, and he was greatly puzzled by Lin Jue's incredible speed, unable to believe that this was the skill of a mortal martial artist.

But thinking about it is one thing, but now is not the time to be lost in thought. Seeing Lin Jue turn his gaze to him, Dian Chu had no choice but to steel himself, tear off his shirt, and reveal his chest covered with tattoos of birds and beasts.

He chuckled coldly several times, then bit his index finger, using the blood as a medium, and muttered incantations.

"Witchcraft of Wushan! You are a sorcerer from the Kingdom of Zhanbo!"

Seeing Dian Chu's strange behavior, Zhao Xiaoyao was taken aback and exclaimed, "Brother Lin, kill him quickly! He's not from the Great Wu Kingdom, but a heretical cultivator from Wushan in the Zhanbo Kingdom. Don't let him use the Demon Transformation Secret Technique. This technique doesn't require magical power to activate, but its power is no less than that of a cultivator's spell."

Lin Jue had heard Zhao Xiaoyao mention the secret method of demon transformation of the twelve tribes of Wushan in Zhanbo Kingdom before, but he was surprised to encounter a demon transformation wizard again.

If you count them all, this is the third time he has encountered an opponent using this technique.

At this moment, Dian Chu's body was flashing with blood-red light, and blood-red spiritual light slowly gathered on the scorpion tattoo on his body. A huge phantom of a poisonous scorpion appeared above his head. Then he let out a series of roars and transformed into a humanoid scorpion beast in this amazing momentum, with a tail hook with barbs growing from his groin.

"Brother Lin, this person's demon transformation technique is incomplete. We only need to attack its lower abdomen to break the technique."

Zhao Xiaoyao, who had been cultivating under the guidance of the Core Formation Elder of the Yanxia Sect, was knowledgeable and experienced. He immediately noticed that the Dian Chu Secret Technique was incomplete and quickly discovered its flaws, so he hurriedly reminded Lin Jue.

Upon hearing Zhao Xiaoyao's words, Dian Chu was slightly taken aback, then grinned maliciously and said with a face full of disdain, "Although it is only an incomplete demon transformation technique, it is enough to kill you all."

After saying this, the demonized Dian Chu twisted his body, his two feet suddenly split into six, and a phantom image fell from above his head. He let out a roar and quickly approached Lin Jue.

Its speed was even greater than Lin Jue's, and it quickly gained the upper hand.

Unable to confront him head-on, Lin Jue could only scatter and flee, using the dense forest as cover to look for an opportunity to strike.

Dian Chu's tail hook was extremely poisonous; it shot venom at him, which landed on the tree and made a sizzling sound.

Seeing that he would eventually be worn down and killed if things continued this way, Lin Jue had a sudden thought. After further provoking the demon, he quickly led it to the edge of the Green Pool. Then, he seized the opportunity and caused the demon who was chasing after him to lose his footing and fall into the deep pool with a splash.

Seeing this, Lin Jue was overjoyed and activated the Spirit Control Seal without hesitation. The mutated black snake flew from the spirit beast bag into the pool and swam nimbly towards the demonized Dian Chu.

Lin Jue had no idea whether the black snake could kill the demonized human, but it was the only feasible method he had at the moment.

puff!

Dian Chu suddenly broke the surface of the water, splashing a huge spray, and swam vigorously toward the shore.

The black snake was nowhere to be seen in the water. Lin Jue was startled and was secretly worried when suddenly a black figure in the water rushed to the unsuspecting demon man's lower abdomen like lightning and bit into his genitals.

A piercing pain quickly struck, as if the blood in my body had frozen, and breathing became increasingly difficult.

As the black snake venom entered his body, Dian Chu let out a reluctant whimper. Strands of bluish-black veins quickly snaked up his neck to his cheeks, and black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. A moment later, he fell silent, sank to the bottom of the pool, and disappeared without a trace.

Lin Jue stood by the pool, let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at the Four Directions Flame Talisman in his hand with an indescribable sense of helplessness.
