Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

After being soothed, the fire qilin became much more obedient.

Seeing this, the man with the knife waved his hand and gestured to the back, saying, "Hold your hand. Now that the Fire Qilin has recognized its master, we need to find out why."

While gesturing for those behind him to hold back, the middle-aged man stepped forward with his knife and began questioning: "You must be the new city lord of Wushuang City."

"That's right, it's me, Lin. Haven't you all heard that I, the city lord, have already subdued the Fire Qilin?"

The man shook his head and said, "Forgive our ignorance, but this place is separated from Wushuang City by a river, and we know nothing about what is happening outside. We have only heard that a strange person has captured the fire unicorn. We did not expect that this strange person is Lord Lin."

"What do you mean by that? If you don't know I took it, how do you judge me to be the Lord of Wushuang City?"

The middle-aged man said, "Lord City, please forgive us. Although we did not know that you had taken in a divine beast, we have heard that you have obtained a famous sword. Who else but you could possess such a sword?"

Lin Yaoxie then realized that this person had determined his identity based on his demonic sword.

"You recognize this sword?"

The man said, "Lord of the City, my surname is Mu, and my name is Mu Shaojie. I originally shared a common master with Bu Qingtian. The Bu family ancestors were famous for their sword forging. So I naturally know some of the art of appraising swords."

"Bu Qingtian?"

Upon hearing these three words, Lin Yaoxie's heart stirred slightly. This Mu Shaojie actually claimed to be from the same school as him. In that case, this person must also recognize the peerless sword that originally belonged to Bu Jingyun. Or perhaps he could use this person to get his hands on the sword that originally belonged to Bu Jingyun.

Things have a good side and a bad side.

On the bright side, there is hope of obtaining a peerless sword; on the other hand, Bu Qingtian and this person are fellow disciples, so will Bu Jingyun come to seek refuge with him?

I've already prepared for both possibilities. If Bu Jingyun shows up here, I'm sorry, but all of you will have to die with him.

But then I thought, this isn't right. There's another mission later, which is to recruit Fengyun. If I kill Bu Jingyun, I can't proceed with the later missions. I can't kill Bu Jingyun, so I have to find a way to recruit him.

What a hassle!

I've never felt so frustrated. It seems I should put this matter aside for now. Since Mu Shaojie and his subordinates said those things earlier, it must be related to something about the Fire Qilin. It's best to take things one step at a time.

After a few thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin Yaoxie said, "So that's how it is. But from what I heard from you and your people earlier, it seemed like you weren't very friendly towards my divine beast. What's going on?"

Mu Shaoqi said, "If someone else had asked us this question, we would never have told them the truth. But since it is City Lord Lin who asked us today, I will answer everything I know without reservation."

Hearing this, Lin Yaoxie chuckled and said, "What do you mean? Does this city lord think he's different from everyone else?"

Mu Shaojie said, "Of course, because this divine beast recognizes its master and will only recognize the person destined by heaven. Moreover, it has always been rumored that City Lord Lin is a man of great integrity."

Hearing this, Lin Yaoxie felt overjoyed. Haha, so that's what they thought of me.

While secretly overjoyed, he said aloud, "I really don't deserve such praise. I'm not as bad as the rumors say; I'm just a little different from ordinary people."

"You are too modest. If Lord Lin of the city does not deserve such praise, then there is no one else in the world who can do so."

Although everyone loves to hear flattery, hearing it too much can be annoying. Lin Yaoxie immediately changed the subject, saying, "Let's get down to business. After all, people will judge who I am."

As Mu Shaojie recounted his story, a tale about the Fire Qilin came to light.

These are all things from a long time ago. As a divine beast, the Qilin has existed for an unknown period of time. No one remembers exactly when the story began. The reason why the Fire Qilin is feared is because it has a connection with the sword-making process of that time.

"Has it related to sword forging?"

As Lin Yaoxie listened, he interrupted to ask what the connection was.

Mu Shaojie said, "A long time ago, there was a swordsmith who tamed a divine beast. It might be the Fire Qilin we know today."

As Mu Shaojie continued his story, what happened next took Lin Yaoxie by surprise.

No wonder the Fire Qilin is said to be able to devour swords and longswords; it turns out there's a reason for this. Its fire attribute comes from that ancient master swordsmith, which makes it unique.

Mu Shaojie continued, "The Fire Qilin did indeed devour some good things later, but it was definitely not the sword pommel and the longsword; it was another divine weapon. This is why it became so terrifying later on."

Finally, they got to the matter Lin Yaoxie was concerned about. As expected, the matter of the Devouring Divine Weapon was just a rumor, and the Fire Qilin's immense power was not without reason.

To our readers [Free]

I'm so sorry everyone.

Starting from the 15th, some things happened at home, which made me feel terrible and my thoughts were extremely chaotic. I was already forced to write chapter 239 from the beginning, and the quality of the later chapters was really bad, which disappointed everyone.

I hope everyone can give me some time. I'm feeling very overwhelmed right now, so I'll be taking a few days off from updates to adjust my mindset. I won't keep you all waiting too long, after all, this is how I make a living, and I can only earn a living with your support...

It's back [Free]

I was so upset about family matters that I posted some chapters that even I couldn't stand, which disappointed everyone. I'm really sorry.

I've now revised the previous chapters. Although they might not be as good as before, I will strive to write even better chapters. I hope everyone will continue to support me.

Some people have asked about the fee for the letter to readers. I originally put it in the section related to the work, but the editor suggested moving it to the end.

There will only be one update today. Updates will gradually resume tomorrow.

Chapter 243: A Sword Connecting Heaven and Earth

"I only need one sword, one sword to break all laws." Lin Yaoxie released all his sword energy and gathered it in front of his chest. With a roar, it transformed into a transparent giant dragon carrying overwhelming sword intent.

"Go! Get out of the way!" Lin Yaoxie shouted, and Sword Saint and Ghost Fork Luo quickly retreated, retreating several hundred meters away.

The onlookers outside the palace were all astonished; even from hundreds of meters away, they could feel the chilling sword intent emanating from the giant dragon. The Sword Saint, in particular, gaped in astonishment.

In the emergency, Jue Wushen released his true energy to envelop his son, ignoring Yan Ying beside him.

Yan Ying, who was standing to one side, had already coughed up blood from the sword energy, and her face was filled with despair.

Just as death was about to strike, a handsome figure, though not tall, pulled her into his arms.

"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this." Lin Yaoxie picked up Yan Ying, but his hands couldn't help but wander over her. So smooth and soft, the feel of her was truly unparalleled. No wonder she was called the most beautiful woman in the world.

"You stay here first, I'll be intimate with you after I kill this guy." Lin Yaoxie enveloped her with a surge of true energy.

Lin Yaoxie remembered the Demon King System's mission: to make Yan Ying fall in love with him and willingly have sex with him.

At this moment, the transparent lightning bolt, resembling a monstrous sword intent, struck Jue Wushen with lightning speed.

Jue Wushen raised both hands and used the ultimate defensive technique of the Undying Golden Body to block the lightning attack.

A series of electric hisses echoed across the square. The Golden Bell Shield was filled with lightning and sword intent. Jue Wushen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but he did not retreat. He held on tightly to his indestructible golden body.

This move combines the Heavenly Sword Technique, the Heavenly Gang Sword Qi, and the Thunder Dragon Technique. It can be said to be Lin Yaoxie's strongest attack. He not only wants to forcibly break through this indestructible golden body, but also wants to kill Jue Wushen in one fell swoop.

After a long period of exhaustion between the sword intent and the Undying Golden Body, cracks began to appear on the Undying Golden Body.

"It's about to break!" Lin Yaoxie stared intently at the indestructible golden body.

Meanwhile, Jue Wushen gritted his teeth and unleashed several moves, finally pushing his hands forward with a powerful thrust. His indestructible golden body flashed with golden light, sweeping away all the sword intent.

"Failure!" Lin Yaoxie sighed. His strongest killing move hadn't even broken through the Indestructible Golden Body, which was something he hadn't expected.

"Hahaha!" Jue Wushen shouted excitedly, "Lin Yaoxie, I never expected you to be so strong! If you hadn't given me enough time to prepare, I would have only managed to release my Undying Golden Body to the Great Perfection level by chance. Even so, you almost broke through it. What a pity, hahaha!"

"And another thing! Thank you for your sword intent that allowed me to break through in this desperate situation." Jue Wushen stared at Lin Yaoxie with a mocking expression: "Now my power has reached its peak! Even if you release a sword intent ten times stronger than before, you still won't be able to break through my indestructible golden body."

He had achieved mastery of his skills! He knew Jue Wushen's previous strength: the first level of the Golden Core stage. The mastery of his skills he mentioned should be the peak of the first level of the Golden Core stage! Lin Yaoxie's strength, on the other hand, had been stuck at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage. The gap between the two had widened considerably.

"This Jue Wushen is too strong!" Everyone outside the palace shook their heads upon seeing this. In their eyes, both of them were at their peak, but Jue Wushen was undoubtedly a cut above. It's a pity that the Peerless City Lord is so young.

Gui Chaluo and Jian Sheng were about to step forward when they saw this, but Lin Yaoxie stopped them with a telepathic transmission from a hundred meters away.

Lin Yaoxie knew very well that these two were just courting death by coming here, and would only cause him to lose his power for nothing.

"Lin Yaoxie, for the sake of your help in strengthening me, I'll let you die a quick death." Jue Wushen clenched his hands together, gathering all his golden true energy into his fists. Lin Yaoxie didn't stop him, letting him do as he pleased.

In fact, the move "Godless" is quite useless. The longer the charging time, the greater the power, but in actual combat, no one will give him time to use it.

But Lin Yaoxie is just that kind of person. As a demon king, he is arrogant and will use any powerful moves he can think of.

Lin Yaoxie is a demon; he wants to kill his opponent only after they have used all their strength, and enjoy the look of despair and helplessness in their eyes.

Seeing that Lin Yaoxie did not stop him, Jue Wushen charged up his power for a full five minutes until the golden ball in front of him was saturated. Only then did he release his grip, and the half-meter-long golden ball, accompanied by destructive power, floated towards Lin Yaoxie. Wherever it passed, there were void rifts, and it disappeared after a full three seconds.

The golden sphere wasn't moving fast, but Lin Yaoxie knew that it possessed sentience and that he couldn't dodge it no matter what.

My mission is to kill the Godless One who has unleashed his indestructible golden body, but the Godless One before me is far too powerful. Even his strongest attack couldn't break through the indestructible golden body. Is fate destined for me to die?

"Lin Yaoxie! You idiot, you actually made me release the perfect Golden Phase Sphere, you're dead!" Jue Wushen knew very well the power of this Golden Phase Sphere. Before his breakthrough, a Golden Phase Sphere that had been charged for one minute could kill a Golden Core stage level 1 expert. Not only did he break through, but this time the Golden Phase Sphere had been charged for a full five minutes, reaching the perfect state.

If this golden sphere is targeting him, there is no god to acknowledge it. Even if his strength has broken through the limits of this golden sphere, he will still die.

The golden sphere was already in front of him. Lin Yaoxie sensed an aura of death. Was he destined to die this time?

"No, I am not reconciled!" The terrifying power contained within the golden orb filled Lin Yaoxie with fighting spirit: "I am a demon, why should I fear death!"

"I control my own life!"

As if in response to its master's state of mind, the demonic sword trembled violently.

"Haha, even you're excited about the Demon Sword, then fight alongside me!" Lin Yaoxie drew the Demon Sword, his killing intent instantly palpable: "If fate is predetermined, then I will shatter that fate!"

Lin Yaoxie raised the Demon Sword and thrust it straight into the Golden Sphere. At that moment, he suddenly felt a devastating force spread throughout his body: "Haha, Godless One, didn't you also help me break through?"

That's right, under the stimulation of the death of the Golden Sphere, Lin Yaoxie, who had been troubled for a long time, finally broke through and reached the first level of the Golden Core stage!

Feeling the surging power within him, Lin Yaoxie's Demon Sword glowed red as he slashed down fiercely at the Golden Orb. This seemingly simple sword strike contained the power of heaven and earth.

After the golden sphere was split in two, it lost its hostility towards Lin Yaoxie and drifted off in any direction.

"Quickly put these two balls into your space." At this moment, the system's emotionless mechanical voice sounded. Lin Yaoxie did not hesitate and put the metal sphere into the first space.

"This sword strike will be named 'Heaven and Earth Sword'!"

Chapter 244: Ten Thousand Swords Return to Their Origin

"Where is the metal sphere?" Jue Wushen stared intently at Lin Yaoxie, only to see a person and a sword suddenly magnified in his eyes.

The Heavenly Sword Technique, Heavenly Gang Sword Qi, Thunder Dragon Slash, and the Ten Strongest Martial Arts—Lin Yaoxie's strongest martial arts are all integrated into this one sword, with the Yaoxie Sword as the main element and heaven and earth as one.

The moment the Heaven and Earth Sword touched the Golden Bell Shield, the indestructible golden body was easily pierced like thin paper.

Jue Wushen was horrified and was about to retreat when Lin Yaoxie's Heaven and Earth Sword pierced his left chest. In that instant, countless sword energies, glowing with blood-red light, surged wildly within Jue Wushen's body.

"I am the demon, those who provoke me shall die!" Lin Yaoxie flung the demon sword into the air.

"No!" Absolute God was unwilling to accept it! He couldn't believe that Lin Yaoxie had actually dodged the perfect metal sphere that had been charging up for so long.

The next moment, Jue Wushenxin fell to the bottom of the valley. Before he died, he saw his son Jue Xin being pierced through the body by a blood-red sword aura and lying on the ground without a sound.
