I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"Very well, if you kill me, please take a message to my master and tell him that his disciple is incompetent and unable to fulfill his filial duties."

"Okay, who is your master?"

The shadow seemed quite reasonable and agreed to Xiao Yue's request.

“My master’s name is Lin Yi. You just need to deliver the message to Qingzhu Study in Chang’an City.”

When she realized she might not survive, Xiao Yue's last thought was still of Lin Yi.

She didn't know whose orders the assassin was on, but whatever the reason, she was incredibly powerful.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to send Lu Yuanhua and Song Yun away.

Xiao Yue wasn't someone who wasn't afraid of death; she valued her life. But if she knew that bringing two people along would only increase casualties, she wouldn't insist on dragging them down with her to die.

Instead, she would plan out a way out for those around her.

It's just a pity that I won't be able to see my master again.

Xiao Yue was also secretly regretting it.

She was bold enough to be bold once before, so why couldn't she be even bolder afterward?

Life is short, and in this world, you never know when it will suddenly end.

If you don't do what you want to do while you're alive, it will be too late to regret it when you're about to die.

"While I appreciate your understanding, I'm not going to submit to being slaughtered. Come on!"

Xiao Yue gripped the sword tightly, her killing intent radiating.

She has mastered the Killing Sutra to a very high level, and her current combat strength is close to that of a second-grade cultivator.

If he were to receive the blessing of Sirius and the Soul of the Army, killing a first-rank enemy would be a piece of cake.

However, in a one-on-one fight, she is only a second-rank immortal, while Jueying is a deity, and moreover, a deity most skilled in concealment and assassination.

If she were to take direct action, Xiao Yue wouldn't even know how she died.

Now, in a direct confrontation, Xiao Yue would not be a match for him.

The shadow shifted, and a black light collided with Xiao Yue's sword. Instantly, the sword broke, and the black light continued its slash toward Xiao Yue's neck.

Given this disparity in strength, it wouldn't make a significant difference whether Xiao Yue surrendered or fought back.

It was going to be a quick thing either way, but just as the black light was about to slash Xiao Yue's neck, a bolt of lightning struck in front of Xiao Yue, scaring Jueying away.

This is magic!

After the thunder, came a roar even louder than the thunder.

"Who dares to bully my disciple!"

At the critical moment, Lin Yi finally arrived.

The moment he heard the voice, Lin Yi was already in front of Xiao Yue.

That's the limit, absolutely the limit.

Lin Yi rushed as fast as he could, but still almost got into trouble. He was filled with lingering fear; if Lan Yu had spoken any later, Xiao Yue would have truly been doomed.

These immortals have no sense of martial ethics!

If they can't beat him, they'll go after other people.

As for the rule that cultivators don't kill emperors, it's nothing but a load of rubbish in the eyes of immortals.

Where are the rules if they are hindered from achieving their great goals?

It's unknown whether any of the Four Saints' Sect members are among the mortals here. They all possess special treasures, which Lin Yi, with his cultivation level, wouldn't be able to detect when they don't appear.

But even if they were there, they probably wouldn't have stopped Jueying.

After listening to Lan Yu's account, Lin Yi understood the true nature of the Four Saints' Abode: they were nothing more than treacherous individuals who had betrayed the mortal realm and, with the help of the immortals, held high positions.

These people can only act arrogantly and bully those who are not skilled enough.

People from the celestial realm have come; we must treat them well, right?

It's impossible to expect the Four Saints to stop Jueying from murdering Xiao Yue.

It's a pity they were all still human, otherwise Lin Yi would have killed them all to increase his cultivation level.

"Master!"

Xiao Yue was overjoyed. She never expected that Lin Yi would suddenly appear out of nowhere. This was probably the most romantic thing she could imagine.

Whenever she was in danger, Lin Yi would appear like a hero.

"Don't be afraid, my disciple! Watch as your master avenges you!"

"Ah……"

A cold laugh echoed through the air, carrying a hint of mockery.

"Shadow Realm, activate!"

Chapter 487 Are you playing hide-and-seek here?

A domain is a very mysterious ability; it is unclear how it takes shape or what kind of power it is based on.

It has nothing to do with cultivation level or comprehension.

Just like He Dong, who had only cultivated for a thousand years, he already had his own ghost realm.

Ghost Realm is also a type of domain, but it is relatively weak.

Qu Jing's Heart Sword, which she comprehended during her battle with Dongting Jun, can also be considered a domain, even though she had only just entered the third rank at that time.

Even after reaching the first-grade realm, Lin Yi still failed to comprehend his own domain.

This time, he and Xiao Yue witnessed the realm of immortals.

When Jueying activated the Shadow Domain, Lin Yi and Xiao Yue were plunged into darkness, unable to see anything but pure darkness.

This darkness was so intense that it blocked out human senses; Lin Yi almost couldn't sense Xiao Yue anymore.

In order to deal with the crisis, he took a step back and held Xiao Yue's hand, only then did he feel a little more at ease.

"be careful!"

The darkness clouded his senses, but Lin Yi wasn't afraid; his only concern was that the other party's target was Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue held Lin Yi's hand, but felt that the feel was a little off.

Why does this craftsman look like a paper doll?

Is this not Master himself?

Having figured this out, Xiao Yue remained silent, only expressing some regret.

At this moment, it was not appropriate to talk about love. She grabbed Lin Yi's hand and stood behind him, back to back.

She knew she was no match for Jueying, but she could at least help her master fend off attacks from behind.

Sensing Xiao Yue's intentions, Lin Yi didn't say anything, but simply released nine golden talismans from his spiritual platform.

Although these nine Heavenly Grade Secret Manuals are all for use by mortals, their power is not insignificant. While a single one cannot compare to immortal techniques, they are easy to combine, making them multifunctional.

It can protect, buff, injure enemies, and form formations; it is flexible and versatile. In Lin Yi's hands, its power is no less than that of immortals and gods.

"Lin Bing Dou Zhe Jie Zhen Lie Qian Xing!"

Lin Yisong recited the secret incantation, and the golden light around Xiao Yue became even more stable.

With these nine golden rays protecting Xiao Yue, while she might not be completely safe, at least Lin Yi could protect her immediately if she were attacked.

All nine talismans were used to bless Xiao Yue. Jueying seemed to realize that to catch the thief, you must first catch the king. She couldn't kill Xiao Yue without killing Lin Yi.

Lin Yi, who had no protective measures, didn't seem difficult to kill.

Hidden in the darkness, Jueying silently approached Lin Yi.

Xiao Yue thought Jueying would attack from behind and stab Lin Yi, but Jueying chose to do the opposite.

She crept directly in front of Lin Yi, and the Shadow Blade silently pierced towards Lin Yi's chest.

If Lin Yi himself were here, he certainly wouldn't be afraid of such an attack. But what appeared here was just a paper figure.

Once the paper figure is cut up, it's basically considered unusable.

So Lin Yi was actually quite uncomfortable with his current situation, fearing that he might get hurt and die on the spot.

Indeed, brute force is a man's greatest joy.

However, the divine intervention technique is not without its advantages.

Lin Yi's cultivation was not only enhanced in his physical body, but his soul was also improved. However, he could not usually show the characteristics of his powerful soul. At most, he was more sensitive when comprehending the laws of heaven.

But now that he had used the Divine Descent Technique, Lin Yi realized the power of his own soul.

With a single thought, one can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, summon wind and rain, drive thunder and lightning, and move mountains and control ridges—all things that can be done with ease.

In short, it's like a heavily armored warrior being reclassified into a fragile mage, while only having one-third of their cultivation level remaining.

He is now facing an assassin, which puts him at a disadvantage.

If it were Lin Yi's true form, he could stand still and let Jueying attack without fear. But now that he can't confront her head-on, in this pitch-black environment, it really does feel a bit scary.

Moreover, Jueying's cultivation was as high as 80,000 years, making him the immortal with the highest actual cultivation that Lin Yi had ever seen.

Lin Yi's cultivation level has only just broken through 200,000, with one-third of that being about 70,000. He also doesn't have a physical body yet, and with the added advantage of class advantage, it's actually very difficult for him to win this battle.

However, Lin Yi discovered through the Demon-Slaying Manual that Jueying was also injured, and his weaknesses were specifically marked, meaning Jueying could only exert up to 70% of his strength.

So, by this calculation, her strength is inferior to Lin Yi's.

However, due to the influence of many factors, the outcome of this battle is not so easy to predict.

Lin Yi felt a bit nervous, something he hadn't done in a long time. The last time he was nervous was when...

Forget it, I don't remember anymore.

The shadow blade silently approached Lin Yi's chest, and just as it was about to touch him, Lin Yi moved.

"Wind Concealment!"
