Chapter 48 The First Master

  Lin Fan looked clearly, the deceased was a demonic sect disciple. Xi Men Shuai snorted disdainfully: "Unknown life or death, I only dare to find a lone Ice Coffin, he dares to rush into the Ice Coffin's lair. There is an Ice Coffin over there, be careful, there may be more Ice Coffins hidden in the snowy ground."

  Lin Fan took a deep breath, and with Ximen Commander's carefree attitude, he walked past the Ice Jade from the side, attracting the hidden Ice Jade to attack. After turning around, he found that this Ice Jade had no helpers, and then slowly approached. When he reached about ten zhang away, the Ice Jade discovered Lin Fan's existence, attached to the snowy ground. As Lin Fan got closer, the Ice Jade launched a frosty attack, but Lin Fan was prepared, meeting it with his bamboo sword. Then, he scattered beans to summon soldiers to take on two consecutive attacks. Finally, he easily caught the fleeing Ice Jade in a cloth bag.

  "En, not bad." Ximen nodded, he didn't misjudge the person. Although he lost the first move, after understanding Bing Po's habits, he immediately gained the upper hand. In a battle between evil sects, one disciple who specialized in swordsmanship was like a greenhorn and fought head-on with his opponent, resulting in his death. Another disciple who also specialized in swordsmanship first fought head-on with his opponent, but then realized he wasn't gaining the upper hand. After calculating the speed and reaction difference between them, he immediately retreated. The evil person chased after him, and the disciple turned around to strike back with a swift slash, combining man and sword as one to kill the off-guard evil person.

  For the first type of person, Sima's lazy theory applies. These people will only rigidly use Taoist techniques, while the second type has the potential to become a master. Lin Fan is undoubtedly the second type, and he can make various useless techniques shine. Seven apertures are clever, not limited by the mud, this is Lin Fan's greatest advantage. Because Lin Fan has these advantages, he will understand the heart symbol. The first type of person will only follow the documents or Taoist records on how to make a move, how to control the sword, without any personal characteristics.

  Ximen Shuai saw Lin Fan tie a cloth bag to his waistband and said, "To become a master, one must undergo many trials. To undergo trials, first and foremost, one needs the Qiankun Bag."

  Lin Fan said: "I knew it, I heard that you could help me get the thousand-year-old demon beast's fur, so I was kidnapped by you."

  "Did I say that?" asked Sima Yi in surprise.

  Lin Fan was furious: "We still have a blood oath of alliance." Don't bully kids like this.

  Ximen Shuai nodded: "En, I remember..." The thousand-year-old demon fox is not killed, the Wuxin Teng only has one root, how to help Lin Fan get a thousand-year-old demon beast? Ximen Shuai quite likes Lin Fan's temperament, and as the Demon King, he cannot go back on his word in front of Qianyu True Person and SanSan True Person. Where is there still a thousand-year-old demon beast? Damn it... He was dragged into this by Lin Fan, what does he want with a thousand-year-old demon beast, can't he just slaughter a thousand-year-old spiritual beast instead? But the thousand-year-old demon beast is not easy to fight, and the thousand-year-old spiritual beast is hard to find... Headache, headache.

  Just as he was thinking, a dozen or so flames rushed into the Ice Abyss where the demonic sect disciples had just been killed. A cultivator with bare feet and tattered clothes walked on top of a flame, and the Ice Abyss unleashed an icy attack. Just as one of the ice shards was about to hit the cultivator, he opened his mouth and spat out a true fire that completely melted the ice shard.

  Look at that cultivator again, with a straight eyebrow and short hair. His hair seemed to have not been washed for a long time, sticking together in clumps like sharp thorns. Ximen Shuai said in a low voice: "Let's go."

  "What's up?" Lin Fan followed Ximen Commander and walked on the snowy ground.

  "The number one ranked among the Eight Great Masters, a disciple of the Evil Flame Sacred Sect: Xie Fengzi. He has a nickname called 'Evil Madman', this person is twenty-six years old and has already reached the late stage of Golden Elixir, proficient in the Three Meditations True Fire technique."

  Just as he said that, Xie Fengzi's protective true energy surged violently, and a flame shot up into the sky. A flame condensed into a fire sword, slashing towards the two of them. Xi Men Shuai released his乾坤圈, shattering the fire sword. Xie Fengzi looked at the two of them for a moment, Lin Fan and Xi Men Shuai were on high alert. Xie Fengzi took another look at the group of Bing Jue, cursed silently, and drove away with a flame.

  Ximen smiled: "This slanting wind child is afraid that we will make a sneak attack when he collects the ice jade, so he'd rather give up the ice jade."

  "Hmm..." Lin thought for a moment, "If we solve this, won't we be able to collect the Ice Shard again?"

  Lin Fan and Ximen Commander observed the Ice Jade Group, hoping for a lone Ice Jade to appear. At this time, a flame stuck to the snowy ground moved forward quickly, circling around the mountain body, slowly approaching the two from behind.

  Lin Fan shouted: "Rise!"

  A fiery glow appeared at the source of the snow-covered ground, and a dozen or so sword energies flew up, clanging several times. The sword energy disappeared, and Xie Fengzi appeared in the snowy ground. Xi Men Shuai was on guard and asked: "What is this?"

  "Blade Array." Lin Fan replied simply. The technique Lin Fan used was indeed a Blade Array, where he would bury the Driving Sword in a certain location and then wait for his target to enter the area before activating the array. Lin Fan could only set up two arrays at most, and he was using bamboo swords, so the power was limited.

  "Ximen said: 'You know the Thunderbolt Art, you know how to draw talismans... you also know sword arrays... being greedy for quantity rather than quality is a taboo in Daoist cultivation.'"

  "Ah!" Lin Fan didn't tell Ximen Shuai that the sect master had instructed him to learn on his own until he reached the Yuan Ying period, at which point he would start practicing sword control. This was also a way for the sect master to help Lin Fan build a foundation, so he had told Lin Fan not to ride the sword before then as preparation for the future. Lin Fan furrowed his brow: "Hey, you over there, how long hasn't taken a bath?" The stench of body odor could be smelled from such a distance.

  Xie Fengzi didn't answer, so Xi Men Shuai answered for him: "The people of Lie Huo Jiao basically don't take baths. Simply put, they hate water."

  "Oh?" Lin Fan's hand flipped over: "Torpedo!"

  This child has a promising future, Ximen Shuai nodded repeatedly, but he was also anxious. This water bomb flew too slowly and deviated from its target. A water bomb slowly flew to the top of Xiāo Fēng Zǐ's head, Xiāo Fēng Zǐ was puzzled, looked up, and thought to himself: Ximen Shuai is a bit tricky, this little Taoist priest seems to be too inexperienced.

  "Quick!" Lin Fan shouted, and a water bomb exploded, opening up a sheet of water: "Bath time."

  What a water bomb, it's a water-based Taoist magic, just the small trick Zhang Tongyuan used to wash his hands after castrating Jiang Bufan. Xiang Fengzi let out a cold hum and flew backwards, suddenly feeling something was off, when a burning stone the size of a watermelon appeared out of thin air and smashed towards him - it was Fei Huo Liu Xing. Impressive, he actually calculated that I would dodge the water curtain...

  "Cheers!" Xie Fengzi let out a loud shout, his protective true energy transforming into a fire dragon that burst forth, forcibly pushing the Flying Fire Flowing Star away. Then, with a flick of his wrist, two fire whips shot towards Lin Fan and Xi Men Shuai. Ranked first, his reputation was well-deserved.

  Scattering beans to form soldiers, Lin Fan's move was quite useless and lacking in technical skill. A single soybean transformed into a soldier, which was then lashed by the flaming whip and cut into four pieces. Ximen Commander used the Qiankun Circle to deflect the incoming flaming whip.

  At this time, Lin Fan's Water Thunder came out again, slowly starting to fly. This time, Xie Fengzi didn't fall for it, and a flame whip struck towards the Water Thunder. As soon as they made contact, Xie Fengzi shouted loudly in his heart that something was wrong - this Water Thunder wasn't some kind of magic technique, but rather true energy.

  "Nine Turns of Capturing the Demon's Spell!" Lin Fan shouted, and through the mutual contact of their true energy, activated the Nine Turns of Capturing the Demon's Spell.

  The Kyōyū Kuzu was activated, and Shāofēng Zǐ and Lín Fán were present on the scene. In Shāofēng Zǐ's divine consciousness, nine demonic beasts appeared. Without saying a word, Shāofēng Zǐ immediately released his ultimate move, and flames engulfed the nine demonic beasts, almost instantly devouring them. Shāofēng Zǐ broke out of the Kyōyū Kuzu, only to see a Qīánkūn Quān accurately hitting his own chest.
