Chapter Eighty-Four: Seizing the Foundation (Four)

  This flashing, multicolored defensive layer shattered at an extremely fast speed, like a hot knife through butter, and under the impact of the waves, it was as if layers of thin paper were trying to block a sharp sword.

  As for Wang Lin, he was relatively far away and mainly because the Corpse Qi was attacking Feng Lü, so it didn't affect him much. At the moment the wave arrived, he calmly took out a jade token from his storage bag and tossed it into the air. As soon as the token appeared, it immediately shattered in half, releasing a yellow gas that quickly enveloped Wang Lin's body.

  His gaze pierced through the yellow gas and stared tightly at Teng Lie.

  At this time, the shockwave generated by the explosion of the green pill slowly weakened, but the defensive layer outside Teng Lie's body had already been completely shattered. In the instant when the last defensive layer was broken, Teng Lie pointed with his left hand, and the giant sword suspended in mid-air immediately appeared in front of the corpse demon, trying to block its next attack. At the same time, he quickly retreated, and in the blink of an eye, he had retreated fifty zhang away.

  He had already developed a deep fear of the suddenly appearing corpse, and if it weren't for the many magical treasures on his body, someone else would have probably died on the spot today.

  To know the self-explosion of Corpse Demon Green Dan, although it can't compare to the full-force strike of the Congealing Dan period, it still possesses half of its attacking power. Only after Fuji's rigorous foundation and adding a large number of magical treasures could he barely withstand it.

  His heart was racing, and he secretly thought that if the corpse threw out another strange green elixir ball, he would surely die today. At this moment, he had lost interest in chasing Wang Lin, and escaping with his life was his only thought.

  Wang Lin stared tightly at Teng Lie, his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile, his eyes flashing with a chill, his right hand raised slightly, two fingers merged in front of him and swung.

  In an instant, a green light flashed, and Tong Li, who was retreating in a flurry, only felt a pain in his back. Before he could take a closer look, he hastily retreated even faster.

  Wang Lin furrowed his brow, the damaged inner armor of his opponent slightly blocked the flying sword, preventing it from piercing through. His eyes flashed, and he bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood mist. A small green sword appeared in the mist, followed by a loud sword hum, and with incredible speed, it stabbed towards Teng Lie.

  In mid-air, a small green sword flashed towards Fujie's back in an instant. Fujie suddenly turned his head, his eyes glowing red as he revealed a hint of ferocity. Several jade talismans flew out from his storage bag immediately, and upon their appearance, they instantly transformed into layers of defense.

  At the same time, he pointed with his left hand, and the giant sword trembled, rising into the air and charging towards Wang Lin's direction, about to slash down. At the same time, several lightning balls floated around the giant sword, and as soon as they appeared, they immediately drifted away, smashing towards the Corpse Demon.

  He was gambling, betting on whether Wang Lin's flying sword would stab him first or his own giant sword would cut down the opponent. If Wang Lin teleported away, he naturally wouldn't be able to control the flying sword during the teleportation process. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Teng Lie planned to escape and flee. At this point, his state was already close to exhaustion, and continuing to stay here would undoubtedly be a path to certain death.

  "Sima Nan roared: 'You're crazy, you little kid is really crazy!' As he spoke, he ignored Wang Lin's opposition and was about to activate Instant Shift to dodge the giant sword. But just as a blue light had barely appeared from Wang Lin's chest, Wang Lin immediately said at an extremely fast speed: 'It's not time for Instant Shift yet, stop!'"

  A hint of ferocity flashed across his face, and without even looking at the giant sword slashing down from above, he controlled the small green sword to flash again, dodging the defensive layer and appearing in front of Teng Lie.

  Teng's face changed color in shock, at this moment his giant sword was less than three inches away from Wang Lin's head. A strand of fresh blood flowed down from Wang Lin's forehead, Wang Lin didn't even blink, let out a fierce laugh and muttered: "Die!"

  A flash of sword light, a small green sword pierced through the inner armor from behind Tong Lie's back, bringing out a trail of blood.

  At the same time, Situ Nan launched a teleportation, and in the flash of blue light, Wang Lin's body disappeared from under the giant sword and reappeared beside Teng Lian, whose face was blood-red.

  The giant sword slashed down with the trend, and in an instant, a deep crack appeared on the ground.

  Wang Lin ignored the blood on his forehead, crouched down and placed his right hand on Teng Lie's body. Situ Nan knew what Wang Lin was thinking, and without saying a word, a blue light burst out from the Tian Yu Zi on his head, flowing through Wang Lin's right hand into Teng Lie's body. In an instant, Teng Lie transformed at a speed visible to the naked eye, rapidly turning into a blue ice sculpture. His expression was frozen in shock within the ice sculpture.

  All of this happened in an extremely short period of time, so fast that even the corpse didn't have time to react. In the instant when Teng Lian was frozen, he hesitated for a moment and then vigilantly stared at Wang Lin.

  A lightning ball that was about to hit the corpse suddenly dispersed, and the giant sword immediately shrunk down into a small silver sword, falling from mid-air into a crevice on the ground.

  Wang Lin swiftly grabbed the ice sculpture and retreated, his green sword flashing with a cold light outside his body, its tip pointing at the corpse.

  The corpse stared at Wang Lin, baring its teeth and howling, just about to charge forward. But it turned its head to glance at the crack on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and by then Wang Lin had already retreated 300 zhang away, disappearing in an instant.

  The corpse let out a loud roar, unwilling to give up as it stared in the direction where Wang Lin had disappeared. After a long while, its body suddenly jumped into the crack in the ground. Not long after, it pulled out Feng Lian's silver small sword, its face filled with excitement, and opened its mouth wide to swallow it whole.

  Wang Lin grasped the ice sculpture, his face pale, and rapidly flashed through the forest. After ensuring safety, he let out a sigh of relief, placed the ice sculpture aside, took out the Lingqi gourd, and drank its contents in one gulp. Then, he sat cross-legged on the ground, regulating his breathing.

  Deep in the forest, a silence reigned. After a long time, Wang Lin slowly opened his eyes to hear Si Tu Nan's discontented voice.

  "Kid, have you gone mad? If I was a step slower, your life would be over."

  Wang Lin said in a low voice, "The opportunity to kill Teng Lie is only once. If we miss it now, once his spiritual power recovers, there will be no more chances. Moreover, this man has been chasing me for many days. If I let him leave now, he will definitely become a big trouble in the future. It's better to take a gamble. Besides, the speed of his giant sword is determined by the amount of spiritual power in his body. At that time, he was already exhausted, and the speed can't be faster than my flying sword."

  Situ Nan fell silent, and he found himself looking at Wang Lin as if for the first time. After a long while, he slowly said, "You have passed, with this mindset, you can stand firm in the Cultivation Realm." Situ Nan's tone unknowingly lost its usual arrogance, and towards Wang Lin, he felt respect for the first time. He asked himself that if it were him instead, he would not have dared to make that bet earlier.

  Wang Lin didn't speak, staring at the ice sculpture wrapped in vines, his eyes flashing as he said, "Using him to perform the Heaven Defying Technique should work, right?"

  Upon hearing Wang Lin's question, Si Tu Nan said: "It is entirely possible, and he is in the later stage of foundation building. If you use him as the furnace for the Foundation Seizing Great Method, after succeeding, your speed in the foundation building realm will be faster than others by a bit, and you will also obtain some of his spiritual roots. This way, your innate talent will also change. This young man's cultivation at such a young age is truly astonishing, hehe, Wang Lin, this thing you risked your life for is worth it."

  After finishing, Situ Nan again recited the key phrases of the Da Fa and the places that need attention, until nightfall, before finally explaining everything. Wang Lin hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth and spat out a small green sword, pointed with his right hand, and the sword immediately stabbed towards the giant tree on the side.

  After digging a hole in the giant tree, Wang Lin grabbed the vine and jumped in.

  The green sword did not recall it, but let it wander around.

  The cave wasn't very large, filled with a damp air, but Wang Lin didn't care about those things. He took out the spiritual gourd and poured some of it out, washing some of the wounds on his forehead before he closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged.

  The next morning, Wang Lin opened his eyes, and with a flash of his gaze, he spat out a mouthful of spiritual energy. The energy took the form of mist that floated in mid-air. Without hesitation, Wang Lin's hands formed a seal, and he shot out a blue light.

  That blue light entered the spiritual mist and immediately dissipated. The spiritual mist churned like boiling water, with strange contractions and expansions.

  Wang Lin's expression remained unchanged, his hands continuously shooting out blue light that entered the spiritual mist. Gradually, the spiritual mist churned and rolled more violently, its contraction and expansion frequency also speeding up.

  He then pulled his right hand, and the ice sculpture wrapped around Teng Lie floated up. A blue light flashed on Wang Lin's chest, and Situ Nan didn't wait for his orders before immediately lifting the frozen state.

  In the blink of an eye, the blue crystals on Teng Lie's body disappeared almost completely.

  Wang Lin's eyes flashed, and he pointed his right hand at the spiritual mist. The spiritual mist immediately floated onto Teng Lie's body and drilled into his seven orifices. Teng Lie's body suddenly trembled and convulsed, his eyes tightly closed, and a painful expression appeared on his face. Before long, all of the spiritual mist had entered Teng Lie's body.

  Wang Lin took a deep breath, his face revealing a solemn expression. Without saying another word, he bit open the index finger of his right hand and drew an empty shape in mid-air, causing a strange blood-colored symbol to appear.

  Wang Lin flipped his right hand and slapped a symbol on it. The symbol immediately flew out and was printed on Teng Lie's chest.

  Teng Lie's body shook violently, his limbs convulsed, and blood flowed out of his mouth and nose uncontrollably. However, the blood did not drip down but instead floated up, coagulating together.

  Suddenly, a crisp sound came from Fujiwara's body, his face turned red in an instant, and at the same time, all the skin outside turned into a strange red color.

  A drop of fresh blood seeped out from his skin.

  Wang Lin's face grew even more solemn, his eyes didn't blink once as he drew another blood-red symbol in mid-air and struck it onto Teng Lie's chest.

  Teng Lie's eyes suddenly opened, and he let out a few dull moans. Then, all the blood vessels in his body burst at once, and blood gushed out of his skin, condensing into a cloud that floated in mid-air.

  In an instant, a huge blood sphere floated above Tōjō's body. At this time, Tōjō's body, which was previously red, quickly turned pale.

  Wang Lin's forehead was sweating at this time, he stared at the blood sphere, his hands quickly changing the spell, sometimes emitting a few streams of spiritual light, sometimes drawing out a few talismans, gradually, that huge blood sphere slowly shrank, eventually becoming fist-sized, emitting an eerie dark red color.

  Wang Lin took a deep breath, his whole body already drenched in sweat. He didn't stop, and once again opened his mouth to spew out a mouthful of spiritual mist, shooting out several streaks of blue light. As the spiritual mist churned, he pointed with one finger, and the spiritual mist once again entered through his nose and seven orifices.
