I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Thunder is the yang aspect of wood, and wind is the yin aspect of wood.

Lin Yi frequently uses the Five Elements Return to Origin technique, which often puts him under immense strain, so his understanding of wood is only slightly less than that of fire.

This move is the Wind and Thunder Sword.

When it moves, it has the force of thunder and lightning.

Zhang Lingxiu never expected that Lin Yi could withstand several bolts of lightning and still be mobile; this was truly a surprise.

He unleashed his Five Thunderbolts technique, but not only did it miss, Lin Yi also got close to him.

Who would have thought that Lin Yi, who had been constantly beaten and humiliated, would actually have the power to fight back?

"Eat my punch!"

Lin Yi suddenly elbowed Zhang Lingxiu in the back.

Lacking any sense of martial ethics, he never shouts out his true moves. At this close range, of course, an elbow strike is the strongest.

However, his attack seemed to hit an impenetrable wall.

Even a true fortress of bronze and iron could be shattered by him in one blow, but at this moment, he only saw a beam of emerald light emerge from Zhang Lingxiu's body.

"This is a jade ruyi! This boy actually managed to force out the sect leader's protective immortal artifact!?"

The elders watching from the sidelines at the Celestial Master Hall were all shocked.

I initially thought it was just an ordinary person, but it turns out he's quite capable. Now it seems he's truly exceptional!

Inside the Celestial Master Hall, a jade ruyi floated beside Zhang Lingxiu, like an unbreakable barrier.

Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh inwardly at the pity.

Without the jade ruyi, his power of over four thousand years would probably have crippled Zhang Lingxiu.

But it's not surprising that the leader of Longhu Mountain possesses a magical artifact.

Seeing that things were hopeless and that the other party was protected by a celestial artifact, Lin Yi decided to make a run for it.

I imagine Bai Lianxian could run even faster!

As long as she ran away with the cat, that's all that matters.

Lin Yi decided to run away, unaware that a cat was diligently digging a hole underground.

"The source that resonates with the dragon energy within me is about to be found..."

Chapter 326 Slaying the Dragon and Tiger

Like begets like. A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a rat's son knows how to dig a hole.

Since mice can burrow, it makes perfect sense that their natural enemies would also dig holes!

When Xiao Se arrived at Longhu Mountain, he initially thought that the place was connected to the dragon vein, which was why the dragon energy in his body reacted.

But when she arrived at the Celestial Master's Hall, Xiao Se clearly sensed that something was wrong. Following her intuition, she began to dig in the soil.

It's not that I didn't want to use the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to burrow underground), but it's forbidden to do so here.

So, while Lin Yi and Zhang Lingxiu were fighting, she was digging a hole very hard, harboring some thoughts of revenge for Lin Yi.

If there were any rare items in this place, they should belong to Longhu Mountain. Xiao Se is a respectable person, and he wouldn't take them without asking.

But now that Lin Yi has clashed with Longhu Mountain, since she can't help him much, she'll try something else to make Longhu Mountain feel sorry for him.

Don't underestimate her just because she's a cat. Her claws are hard and sharp, comparable to divine weapons. She paws with her front legs and scratches with her hind legs at lightning speed.

Because the battle between Lin Yi and Zhang Lingxiu attracted so much attention, no one noticed the kitten digging a hole.

Inside the Celestial Master's Hall, seeing Zhang Lingxiu reveal the jade ruyi, Lin Yi knew that winning would be difficult.

The opponent also possesses a celestial artifact, primarily designed for defense.

If you can't break through the opponent's defenses, then no matter how many methods you use, it's meaningless. Continuing to fight will be futile, so it's better to retreat first.

The clever Bai Lianxian should have already run away with the cat. He has held Zhang Lingxiu back for so long. With Bai Lianxian's strength, whether he runs away openly or secretly, it should be enough.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

Zhang Lingxiu immediately saw Lin Yi's intention to back down, but things had already come to this point, how could he let Lin Yi leave like that?

"The trapping formation is activated!"

Zhang Lingxiu tossed out the jade ruyi in her hand, and the disciples outside the hall, upon hearing the sect leader's command, quickly changed formation.

"A dragon stranded in shallow waters, a tiger fallen on the plains!"

This time, the trapping formation was activated with the jade ruyi as the core. Those within the formation will be weakened to varying degrees. Like a dragon in shallow water being teased by shrimp, or a tiger fallen to the plains being bullied by dogs.

This is a variation of the Longhu Mountain Grand Formation, used for suppression.

Two illusory figures, a green dragon and a white tiger, materialized in the air. Their roars were enough to unsettle people and make their hearts tremble.

The jade ruyi emitted a blue light, enveloping the entire Celestial Master Hall. The blue light formed a transparent barrier, and when Lin Yi crashed into it, only a ripple spread out like water; the barrier remained unbreakable.

Obviously, it's impossible to get away like this today.

"Does Master Zhang really intend to fight me to the death today?"

Seeing that he had no way out, Lin Yi had no choice but to fight with his back against the wall.

He never expected things to turn out this way. Seeing that Buddhism and Taoism were about to clash, he came to mediate.

Before the two who were calling for reinforcements to start a fight could even begin, he, the one trying to mediate, got into a fight with them first.

What kind of mess is this!

But Lin Yi didn't think he had done anything wrong. From beginning to end, it was Longhu Mountain that had gone too far. He had only made a proper counterattack when he was being bullied.

Legally speaking, this could all be considered legitimate self-defense.

Now, Lin Yi is giving Zhang Lingxiu one last chance for peace talks.

If they don't back down, he'll have to resort to deadly force.

"You're only saying this now? Isn't it too late? My Celestial Master Hall has weathered hundreds of years of storms, and you've ruined it like this. If you leave today, what face will my Longhu Mountain have left!"

Lin Yi felt a toothache upon hearing this: "I said, you old man, how can you be so unreasonable? I came here to provide clues, but you insist on causing me trouble."

Besides, weren't all these storms and lightning caused by you? Even your ancestor's head was taken by you. From beginning to end, I haven't damaged the Celestial Master's Hall at all!

That's the truth, but Zhang Lingxiu was now somewhat embarrassed and angry.

Unable to argue with Lin Yi, he had no choice but to resort to violence.

"What a sharp-tongued brat! He's good at twisting the truth. If we let him go, he'll surely cause endless trouble and die!"

What a blatant distortion of the truth! Lin Yi was utterly speechless.

Since the other party was unwilling to negotiate and he couldn't leave, he had no choice but to kill.

"Come forth and slay the demon!"

With a wave of his hand, Lin Yi conjured the crimson Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand. The cloud bag was merely a temporary resting place for the Demon-Slaying Sword; it could appear at any time it wished.

Although the demon-slaying creature has not yet recognized Lin Yi as its master, it greatly admires Lin Yi's style of conduct and his righteous spirit. Therefore, it would naturally not refuse if Lin Yi summoned it.

The Demon-Slaying Sword has no special effect on humans, but a celestial weapon is a celestial weapon. Even without special effects, its power far surpasses that of a spiritual weapon.

With the sharpness of the Demon-Slaying Sword, Lin Yi might be able to cut through the Jade Ruyi floating high in the sky.

Seeing Lin Yi's actions, Zhang Lingxiu's heart skipped a beat again.

What is this kid's background? How could he possess two immortal artifacts?

He looks so young, he doesn't seem like an old monster in disguise.

In any case, he must have a very important background.

But now that we've already offended them, we have no choice but to fight them to the death and not give them any chance.

A fierce wind swept through the Celestial Master's Hall once again. As the sandstorm raged, the clay statues of the patriarchs were eroded and slowly became part of the sand.

The wind, condensed to its extreme, transformed into a giant blue tiger, fierce and awe-inspiring.

This real person is truly ruthless; when he gets going, he doesn't even leave the ashes of the patriarch!

Lin Yi sighed inwardly, and could only gather all his strength into the Demon-Slaying Sword, holding it with both hands, ready to strike.

"Go!"

Zhang Lingxiu threw the copper coin sword in her hand at Lin Yi. The copper coin sword absorbed a large amount of purple lightning in mid-air and transformed into a purple dragon, which circled towards Lin Yi.

The blue tiger moved with the speed of the wind and arrived in front of Lin Yi in the blink of an eye.

Dragons and tigers move together, with purple lightning and green wind.

With the added pressure from the Dragon-Tiger Formation, Lin Yi had no chance to dodge this attack!

Zhang Lingxiu was very confident in this attack. Even though Lin Yi was of the same rank as him, at this moment, he was able to mobilize many disciples of Longhu Mountain to form an array to help him, which was enough to force Lin Yi to be unable to use the power of heaven and earth.

He himself was in a state of perfect harmony with wind and thunder, which was his domain. Even if Lin Yi had a celestial artifact protecting him and a divine weapon in hand, he would definitely not be his match!

"I didn't want to kill you, but you had to meddle in this struggle for destiny."

Watching Lin Yi being swallowed by the dragon and tiger, Zhang Lingxiu also sighed.

It's not that he doesn't know right from wrong, but life isn't simply black and white. As the leader of the Taoist sect, Longhu Mountain bears a heavy burden, and too often he can't act solely based on personal preferences.

To plan for the long term of Taoism, necessary sacrifices are indispensable.

"Die!"

Several golden rays flew out from Zhang Lingxiu's body and merged into the dragon and tiger. He would use all his strength before turning Lin Yi to ashes.

Underground, Xiao Se persevered in digging, feeling that she was getting closer and closer to what she sensed.

Finally, her claws struck something she couldn't break apart. It was hard, and when she scratched it, a screeching sound was heard.

At the same time, the dragon energy within Xiao Se's body also boiled over, continuously surging into her meridians. Her body became golden and radiant, with faint dragon roars emanating from it.

As the dragon energy surged within her, even the things her claws hadn't managed to break through began to glow faintly.

The hole Xiao Se dug wasn't big enough, so he couldn't see its full extent.

But the earth trembled, and this thing awoke, like an earth dragon turning over.
