I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

So it's possible to leave on your own?

The meaning of a killing formation is to fight inside. The huge platform is similar to a fighting arena, making it impossible for people to leave, while providing enough space for combat. And it's just right for two people, one human and one demon. Isn't the point to determine a winner? How can someone choose to take an unconventional approach?

Lin Yi's sudden appearance startled General Crab and Qu Jing, who were engaged in battle. General Crab had seen the Turtle Prime Minister flying over earlier and thought he was reinforcements. However, Qu Jing reacted so quickly, delivering a precise sword strike that beheaded the enemy.

Most monsters are no different from humans; they will die if their heads are cut off. However, monsters have strong physical defenses, so a single strike may not be enough to decapitate them.

Qu Jing also caught the Turtle Prime Minister off guard. He happened to be sticking his head out to look. If he had tucked his head back into his shell, he might not have been killed by a single sword strike.

The Crab General was in a dilemma. He was already weaker than Qu Jing, and Qu Jing was fighting with hatred in her heart. Every sword strike was deadly. If it weren't for his incredibly hard shell, he would have been cut down by Qu Jing long ago.

If this continues, he will definitely lose.

Upon seeing Lin Yi fly over, his face immediately lit up with joy.

Although he was very unhappy that Lin Yi took his place, Lin Yi was, after all, someone favored by the Lord of Dongting and a member of the demon race, so he was definitely on his side.

By the way, what's this guy's name again?

Fine, he used to call himself the Mountain Lord, so let's just call him that.

"Fellow Daoist Mountain Lord, quickly help me kill her!"

When Qu Jing saw Lin Yi successfully land, her expression turned grim. In this environment, being assigned to be with General Crab was a godsend, but time and again someone had interfered.

She had witnessed Lin Yi's methods before; this demon was quite powerful, and she wasn't confident she could defeat the combined forces of Lin Yi and the Crab General.

But at this moment, she had no other choice.

It's time to use that trick.

Qu Jing retreated several steps, and suddenly five-colored light shone around her. Lin Yi recognized it at a glance as the Five Elements Returning to the Origin.

She's about to unleash her ultimate move!

Once she reached the Five Qi Gathering Realm, releasing the Five Spirits Returning to the Origin was no longer such a burden, it just took some time. Seeing that the five energies around her were gradually becoming stronger, General Crab panicked and shouted, "Stop her!"

He was caught off guard by Lin Yi, and eight legs instantly grew out of him as he quickly crawled toward Qu Jing. Just then, a cold glint flashed, and a sword light attacked from behind him, severing all eight of his legs.

As a result, the sword in Lin Yi's hand shattered into several pieces.

He didn't use the Pillow Snow to attack, after all, if you wear a mask to hide your identity, you have to hide everything about your original identity.

He wasn't afraid of Qu Jing, but he was afraid that others would act like him, and if they saw the sword he was carrying, they would connect him with Lin Yi's identity in the future.

He couldn't abandon his disguise as a resident of Xingsha County for the time being, so he had to carefully conceal it.

This sudden turn of events not only stunned General Crab, but also surprised Qu Jing. She didn't know why they suddenly started fighting amongst themselves, but no matter what, the situation was in her favor.

The Five Elements Return to the Source was complete, and the sword was unleashed to slay ghosts and gods. The five-colored sword of energy cleaved the immobile Crab General in two. This head was not counted on Lin Yi's head. It was strange, since he had clearly helped in this incident.

Lin Yi didn't care too much. Although it was a pity to waste the Crab General's eight hundred years of cultivation, Qu Jing had a grudge against the Crab General, so Lin Yi couldn't very well try to steal this person's head.

Anyway, he can't improve his cultivation level now. If he doesn't complete the blood sacrifice, his cultivation level will be stored away.

After killing the Crab General, Qu Jing did not let her guard down around Lin Yi. Her inner energy had not dissipated, and she looked at Lin Yi warily, asking, "What is your background? Why are you helping me?"

"I……"

Lin Yi was thinking of secretly revealing his identity to Qu Jing. Although she would definitely be puzzled as to how his cultivation had progressed so quickly, he could just use his special physique as an excuse. After all, he had already established the persona of a genius, and the strength he was showing now wasn't that exaggerated.

But at that moment, Lin Yi heard two whooshing sounds and quickly shut his mouth. Before long, a man and a woman descended onto the high platform.

It was Bai Li and Gou Hun, the two strongest fighters on the field, who had actually appeared here together.

When Bai Li saw that Prime Minister Turtle and General Crab were separated from their bodies, one was decapitated and the other was split in two, he was immediately enraged and questioned Lin Yi, "What happened?"

"It was all this woman's doing!"

Lin Yi decisively pointed at Qu Jing...

Chapter 129 Dragon Tail Swing

Lin Yi's pointing to Qu Jing is also reasonable, as both the Turtle Prime Minister and the Crab General suffered fatal wounds from sword wounds, which seems to corroborate this point.

Without much thought, Bai Li roared at Qu Jing, "Give me your life!"

Several ice arrows shot towards Qu Jing, but Gouhun would not let Bai Li kill Qu Jing so easily. He blocked Qu Jing's path, threw a punch, and the force of the punch spread out in all directions, shattering all the ice arrows into fragments.

"I'm going to kill her, and you can't stop me!"

Bai Li's strength is not much worse than Gou Hun's. If he is determined to kill Qu Jing, Gou Hun can only protect her for a few rounds at most.

Gouhun knew this very well, so after throwing a punch, he didn't waste any words and shouted at Qu Jing, "Run!"

Qu Jing knew that staying would only be a burden, so she immediately flew away.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Bai Li conjured a water ball with both hands, creating a powerful display that was clearly a powerful attack. If she were to unleash it, Qu Jing would likely be unable to withstand it.

Lin Yi wasn't about to let him make a move so easily. Taking advantage of Bai Li's lack of vigilance, he flashed behind Bai Li and delivered a heavy punch to his back.

The reason Lin Yi didn't draw his sword was that he felt the damage from a full-force punch might be greater than that from a Qi sword technique.

The Qi Sword Technique is strong in its long range, wide area of ​​effect, and special effects, but in terms of attack power, Lin Yi's own personal slashing attacks still deal more damage. As for thrusting with a sword, it cannot unleash Lin Yi's full strength.

This punch was truly a full-force strike from Lin Yi's physical body, built up over 1,499 years of cultivation. Bai Li immediately coughed up blood, and the water ball in his hand dissipated.

Lin Yi knew he couldn't kill him with one punch, so it was already quite good that his sneak attack had succeeded. After the attack, he naturally ran away immediately.

Bai Li was instantly enraged. He thought himself powerful, but he never expected to be ambushed by a mere lackey!

"Go to hell!"

Bai Li unleashed a powerful dragon tail kick at Lin Yi, who blocked it with his fists crossed and a turtle shell shield. In short, this attack failed to break through his defenses.

But Lin Yi was kicked away by the white carp. Passing by Qu Jing, Lin Yi still had the strength to reach out and grab Qu Jing. Just as he was about to leave the platform, he pushed off with his foot and quickly disappeared into the clouds.

Bai Li was so angry she was about to vomit blood. Not only did her furious attack fail to kill the person, it also sent them away. What angered her most was that when Lin Yi left, he very quickly put the corpses of General Crab and Prime Minister Turtle into his cloud bag.

In a fit of rage, he was about to chase after Lin Yi when Gouhun came to stop him. Bai Li immediately transformed into his original form, flicking his carp tail and sending Gouhun staggering back more than ten steps.

This is what makes the demon race so formidable. When they're really desperate, they'll fight purely on physical strength, and cultivators of the same level are no match for them. Moreover, the white carp is also skilled in magic, making it powerful in both ranged and melee combat.

Gouhun didn't want to fight Baili head-on, as it wouldn't benefit her.

She is qualified to compete for this Dragon Palace Immortal Artifact; she is unmatched at the first rank and invincible at the second rank.

Why should she fight to the death here?

It's not worth it. Anyway, we've already done the bare minimum and helped where we could, so let's just leave it at that!

"Lord Dongting is truly ferocious; this humble woman cannot afford to provoke him. Farewell."

Gouhun chose to jump in another direction. Bai Li saw that this annoying woman suddenly stopped stopping him. Although he suspected something was amiss, he couldn't care less.

He wanted to avenge his subordinates, and even more so, he wanted to find that shameless thief and rip his head off to use as a football!

Lin Yi knew he couldn't entrust his life to someone else, so after landing, he grabbed Qu Jing and continued running.

Now that Dongting Jun has been angered, his only way out is to find Chu Meiren, the only ghost to enter the scene, and complete the blood sacrifice. The Demon Subduing Manual has already stored the Turtle Prime Minister's cultivation level, and it is only waiting for Lin Yi to break through so that his cultivation level can increase dramatically. At that time, the roles of hunter and prey will be reversed.

But before that, he had no choice but to run away.

Qu Jing knew the situation was urgent, so she didn't ask Lin Yi's identity again.

Lin Yi has already shown his stance through his actions. At this moment, both of their lives are in danger, so there is no need to care about such trivial matters.

Thanks to the obstruction of the clouds and mist, which Lin Yi couldn't see through, Bai Li couldn't see through either, so they couldn't see where Lin Yi and Qu Jing were going. They had to ask the people on the high platform to find out. This delay gave Lin Yi and Qu Jing a chance to escape.

But time is of the essence, so this time it's not just a real-life jumping game, but also includes a Temple Run element.

Qu Jing couldn't help but be curious about Lin Yi. It was the first time she had ever seen someone jump so far without using true qi, relying solely on their jumping ability. This was somewhat like a legendary body-refining cultivator.

Body tempering is the oldest form of cultivation. Our ancestors strengthened their bodies through arduous training and by consuming the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts. Some of these beasts even granted special abilities to those who ate them.

However, this method of body tempering is extremely crude. It relies solely on a person's own potential to passively digest the flesh and blood of demonic beasts, gradually strengthening the physical body by harming oneself.

This method requires a lot of blood and food and can easily shorten one's lifespan. After the emergence of methods for cultivating qi and spirit, it was gradually abandoned.

Some people practice external martial arts and draw experience from body-refining methods, but almost no one focuses on body-refining anymore.

But the world is vast and full of wonders; perhaps he is the inheritor of some ancient tradition.

But now is not the time for conversation. Bai Li is still relentlessly pursuing them, and their situation is extremely dangerous. If they make one wrong step and Bai Li catches up with them, they will probably both die.

Qu Jing then spoke up, "Running away aimlessly like this isn't a solution. Why don't you put me down and we split up?"

Being held like this all the time isn't a good thing. Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Although one might not be bound by such formalities in a life-or-death situation, it's still against etiquette.

Lin Yi knew what Qu Jing was thinking and shook his head, saying, "If I let you go now, wouldn't all my previous efforts be wasted?"

"you……"

Qu Jing initially thought Lin Yi was just a stranger who had helped someone in need. But now, recalling every time Lin Yi had intervened, she realized that he had been helping her all along.

The first time, he killed the water monkey; the second time, he helped her kill the crab general.

On the last occasion, even knowing that he was no match for Dongting Jun, he risked his life to forcibly interrupt Dongting Jun's spellcasting and took the opportunity to save her. If he didn't know her, how could he have gone to such lengths for her?

However, Qu Jing's social circle was quite limited. She spent her childhood in the mountains and only interacted with some fellow disciples. After her death, she devoted herself to spiritual practice and only corresponded with Guan Buping. Apart from that, she had little contact with outsiders.

He only recently came out of seclusion to take on an apprentice.

In other words, she only has two truly close people, and Guan Buping is now severely disabled and his cultivation level is not that high.

After eliminating all other options, only her apprentice remained.

But is Lin Yi really that capable?

Chapter 130 Might Makes Right

Lin Yi didn't care whether his identity was discovered or not. He hadn't done anything wrong, so he wouldn't panic even if his identity was exposed.

He appears to be running around aimlessly, but he is actually searching for Chu Meiren.

The only ghost whose cultivation level met the requirements and who had entered the Dragon Palace, Lin Yi only needed to kill her to break through the 1,500-year limit. With the cultivation level of the Turtle Prime Minister stored in his possession, Lin Yi's cultivation level would directly surpass that of the White Carp.

However, with dozens of people coming in, and if they were in pairs, he should have found Chu Meiren by now. He was just afraid that Chu Meiren had been killed by someone else.

Despite being the Ghost King, she was practically the weakest one on the field. If she were killed by someone else, Lin Yi would have no choice but to play hide-and-seek with Qu Jing and Bai Li.

After bouncing over a few more high platforms, the clouds and mist in front of them suddenly dissipated, and a stone bridge appeared before them.
