Chapter 18: Three Consecutive Beheadings on the Life and Death Stage (4)
Song Anping saw Li Mochan fall onto the Life and Death Platform, and immediately said to Lin Tianyao: "Huh? It's actually Brother Li Mochan who has arrived. Tianyao, I think your older cousin is in luck now. After the betting starts later, if you still have any Spiritual Stones left, let's bet on Brother Li winning together!"
Lin Tianyao was already feeling extremely stifled because he had lost the Ling Stone and Lin Tianyang had stolen the show on the Life and Death Stage, when he suddenly heard Song Shixiong say this, he immediately became overjoyed. "Song Shixiong, you're saying that Li Shixiong is extremely formidable?"
Song Anping revealed a somewhat helpless expression and sighed, "I, Song Anping, am also considered to be quite capable among the inner sect disciples. However, during last year's grand competition, I still lost to Li Shixiong. Later, Li Shixiong received the reward of the Zhuji Dan from the sect, although he didn't successfully build his foundation, his cultivation reached the 13th layer of the Lianqi period. He was already able to steadily win against me when his cultivation was only at the 12th layer. Do you think that now, he would still lose to someone with a cultivation of the 10th layer of the Lianqi period?"
Lin Tianyao listened to Song Anping's explanation and felt even more at ease. He had seen Song Anping's strength before, and even if he were to team up with someone else, they would still be no match for him. If Li Mochan was even stronger than that, the outcome of their battle was naturally a foregone conclusion.
After that, Song Anping took out 500 Ling Stones to buy Li Mochan's win, and Lin Tianyao also bought all the remaining Ling Stones on his body for him to win. Although the odds were low and it was impossible to recover the 1,000 Ling Stones lost earlier, it was still better than nothing, and being able to watch Lin Tianyang die in front of him gave Lin Tianyao an indescribable sense of pleasure.
Lin Tianyang also ended his meditation and recovery at this time. Although Leng Yue had already given up on him, she still told him some things about Li Mochan out of their friendship from Sanxian Town.
Lin Tianyang heard that Li Mocheng was so formidable, and his brow furrowed slightly as he said, "Leng senior, if what you say is true, then doesn't that mean Li Mocheng has reached the level of being unbeatable below the Foundation Establishment stage?"
Leng Yue didn't think much before responding, "It's not that simple. The Lei Yan Sect has core disciples besides the inner sect disciples. These disciples either have Tian Ling Root or Yi Ling Root, or they have special spiritual bodies. Not only do they cultivate quickly, but their techniques are also extremely powerful. They also possess various treasures given by the sect. If it really comes down to a fight, it's hard to say who will win!"
"Oh? The Lei Yan Sect still has a core disciple? I hadn't heard of that!" Lin Tianyang was somewhat surprised.
Leng Yue smiled faintly and said, "Even if a core disciple reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they are still considered disciples, and the sect will not let them leave easily. It's normal that outsiders don't know about it. And how many people with Heavenly Spirit Roots, Alien Spirit Roots, and special spirit bodies do you think there are? Even if they reach the Foundation Establishment stage, they are still considered disciples. As far as I know, up to now, our sect has never had more than a hundred core disciples at any given time. This is also related to their extremely fast cultivation speed - very few people fail to form their dan within a hundred years! Don't think too much about the affairs of core disciples, focus on how to deal with Li Muhan instead. If you have any trump cards, don't hide them!" Leng Yue reminded him once again.
"Thanks for the tip, Leng!" Lin Tianyang thanked him and suddenly found that the betting place on the other side had his odds, which had actually reached an exaggerated 1 to 20.
Lin Tianyang saw it and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he immediately walked to the front of Lei Yan's disciple and directly bet all 54,000 spiritual stones he had won earlier.
Na Lei Yan's disciple probably hadn't seen such a large bet before, and was stunned for a moment. It wasn't until Qu Xuan, the bearded big man, reminded him that he accepted Lin Tianyang's bet.
Lin Tianyang thought that if he won this time, it would be equivalent to earning hundreds of millions of spiritual stones at once. With so many spiritual stones, even if the Lin family added up their entire wealth over thousands of years, it would probably be around this amount. Having so many spiritual stones would also mean that he wouldn't have to worry about entering and exiting the Tower of Heaven anymore.
Li Muhanshen was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, with an ordinary appearance. If he were to change into farmer's clothes, no one would have thought that he was actually a cultivator at the 13th layer of the Qi Refining stage.
He came here and sat down on the life-and-death stage, after Lin Tianyang arrived on the stage, he still seemed to be unmoved, continuing to sit cross-legged there.
Lin Tianyang saw that he was not affected by external things at all, and in his heart, he also understood that this Li Mochan was indeed not a good person to deal with.
A moment later, the life and death platform's law array rose up. It was only then that Li Muhan opened his eyes, filled with confidence, saying to Lin Tianyang: "I had no grievances or feud with you originally, but for my future great path, today you can only die here. However, because of your appearance, I have the opportunity to obtain another foundation-establishing pill. In consideration of this foundation-establishing pill, I will give you a grand burial!"
"Confidence is good, but being arrogant is not right. I think the first two people who died here thought so too!" Lin Tianyang responded calmly, without a hint of fear.
"Life and death stage, life and death battle! Yongzhou Lin Tianyang versus Lei Yan Zong's Li Muhan. No more rules from me, you can start now!"
Qu Xuan announced the start, and Lin Tianyang immediately took out Qing Lei Gun, accompanied by a loud thunder, and stabbed at Li Mochan.
Li Muhans slapped the storage bag, and twelve one-foot-long flying knives appeared in front of him. With a wave of his hand, the flying knives instantly formed a knife wheel, and the Qing Lei spear that stabbed into the knife wheel was immediately bounced out.
Lin Tianyang didn't expect Qing Lei Gun to have any effect, and after Li Muhan made his move, he immediately took out the Purple Copper Gong. Under the cover of the thunderous sound of Qing Lei Gun, there was a loud gong sound.
Li Muhans body swayed slightly under the sound of the gong, and the knife wheel in front of him suddenly dispersed into flying knives. At this moment, a cold light flashed to Li Muhans side, but just as it was about to slash his neck, a "ding" sound was heard, and Li Muhan surprisingly held a flying knife in his hand, directly blocking the cold light.
Looking at the cold light that had turned into a half-black and half-white curved blade, Li Mu said with a cold smile: "Your magic weapon indeed has some impact on the cultivator's divine consciousness, but unfortunately your cultivation is insufficient. My cultivation not only far surpasses yours, but my innate divine consciousness is also much stronger than ordinary people. The first sneak attack failed, I think you no longer have any chance!"
After finishing speaking, he pinched a flying knife in front of him, and the flying knife reformed into a spinning wheel and flew towards Lin Tianyang.
Lin Tianyang saw that his carefully designed assassination attempt had failed, and he secretly regretted it. Seeing how sharp the knife wheel was, he didn't dare to be careless and immediately threw out a talisman with a small knife pattern engraved on it.
"Symbolic treasure!" As soon as Lin Tianyang threw out this object, the people watching from below the stage suddenly cried out in surprise one after another. Even Yun Haitian couldn't help but furrow his brow.
Lin Tianyao saw Lin Tianyang using a different talisman and exclaimed in shock: "How is this possible, how can there be another talisman on him?"
