Chapter Thirty-Four: Heart Symbol

  The first thunderbolt struck the White Rainbow Sword Clone, causing it to tremble before the second and third bolts struck... A series of loud cracks sounded as the thunderbolts hit the White Rainbow Sword, forcibly extinguishing its clone. Lin Fan didn't stop, however, and the thunderbolts continued to be produced endlessly, flying out from his palm at high speed.

  Zhang Tongyuan hastily retrieved the White Rainbow Sword's true body. This time you won't be able to shatter it, will you?

  Lin Feng withdrew his hand and smiled, then stretched out his finger again: "Electricity!"

  A golden lightning bolt struck Zhang Tongyuan's body, only to have a negligible effect except for momentarily stunning him. But what Zhang Tongyuan didn't expect was that in an instant, a second, third, fourth... endless bolts of lightning struck him, and his sword technique was disrupted by the lightning, unable to complete its sequence, and thus unable to command the White Rainbow Sword to attack Lin Fan.

  However, Zhang Tongyuan was after all in the Yu Jian boundary, with his sword and mind united as one. With a silent thought in his heart, the White Rainbow Sword slashed towards Lin Fan.

  The sword arrived with a sharp aura, and Lin Fan split into two. The sword pierced one of the Lin Fans, causing him to disappear, while the other Lin Fan continued to release lightning bolts.

  Damn it! Ximen Shuai finally understood and couldn't help but curse. The Thunderclap used by Lin Fan was the effect of the Earth Thunder Symbol, while the Lightning was the effect of the Golden Thunder Symbol. As for splitting into two, he had used the Split Body Symbol. Later, he used the Soul Seal Symbol on his main body, and the White Rainbow Sword would only attack virtual bodies with true energy circulation. But Lin Fan didn't even bring any talismans, and even if he did, he would have to chant an incantation, which required a time interval...

  "Damn it." Zhang Tongyuan was furious. This wasn't a fight, it was... Zhang Tongyuan closed his eyes and then opened them again, his hand forming a sword gesture...

  Lin Fan was shocked, this lightning actually didn't affect Zhang Tongyuan. Ximen Shuai watched and understood, "This is called the refined five elements method, you used gold thunder, he turned himself into a fire body, fire overcomes gold."

  Water can extinguish fire, but if the fire is too big, it can still evaporate the water. Lin Fan's lightning is not that powerful and would have no effect on Zhang Tongyuan's body. Lin Fan had planned to switch to a Water Thunderbolt, but Zhang Tongyuan didn't give him the time, as his Sixty-Four White Rainbow Sword's Million Swords Technique was already ready to be unleashed.

  At this time, a green shadow flew swiftly to Zhang Tongyuan's head, and before he could react, the green shadow slammed into the white rainbow sword protecting Zhang Tongyuan. The enormous force made Zhang Tongyuan cry out in surprise as he was sent tumbling downwards. Enraged, Zhang Tongyuan flew back up, only to be met with another green shadow that sent him crashing down again. As Zhang Tongyuan prepared to fly back up once more, the green shadow arrived and slammed him into the ground.

  Another green shadow, the White Rainbow Sword still connected, but Zhang Tongyuan's lower body was smashed into the mud. Like a pile driver, the green shadows struck Zhang Tongyuan like hammers, pounding him into the earth. Until Zhang Tongyuan was level with the ground, the green shadow returned to Lin Fan's hand, what else could it be but that Green Jade Buddha Knife?

  This surprised Ximen Shuai again, what had Lin Fan been doing all year? Was he still hiding something? After thinking about it, Ximen Shuai added a move and blocked the exit with a huge stone, completely burying Zhang Tongyuan alive. The two were on guard for a while, but there was no movement from Zhang Tongyuan, Lin Fan wondered: "Could he be dead?" This trouble is big.

  "Impossible!" Ximen Shuai had already prepared for Zhang Tongyuan to burst out of the stone, but unexpectedly there was no movement at all. Ximen Shuai used his divine power to push the huge boulder aside, and the two flew up to the entrance of the cave to look, but there was no sign of Zhang Tongyuan's shadow. Ximen Shuai couldn't help but laugh and cry, after all, he was one of the eight young masters, how could he just run away without even leaving a word behind? Like himself, before running, he would definitely say something like: "The green hills remain unchanged, the flowing water lasts long", with such momentum. The gap between them...

  It's okay, let's move on, keep a low profile and don't fly so high. Ximen Shuai leaned over to Lin Fan's side: "Explain?"

  "No!" Lin Fan laughed.

  Heart Symbol, a major gain for Lin Fan after three months of closed cultivation, no longer needs to use yellow paper or brush to draw symbols in his mind. The symbol is completed and the thunder comes out, not only saving the time needed to activate the symbol spell, but also saving a lot of money. However, the sect master severely criticized Lin Fan, thinking that he had no ambition. Although this symbol spell has endless uses, its power is ultimately limited. After the sect master's rebuke, Lin Fan cultivated the Cloud Clearing Five Elements Way. Lin Fan's five elements are balanced and not biased, making it possible to cultivate the complete five elements way, but being unbiased also means that Lin Fan will find it difficult to achieve great success in the five elements way.

  Green Jade Buddha Knife, finally refined by Lin Fan a month ago. Its only function is to smash. The Green Jade Buddha Knife feels as light as a feather in hand, but once the Infinite Heart Method is used to unleash its power, it becomes incredibly fast and powerful. It seems like this function is already very useful, but the Green Jade Buddha Knife itself has a spirit and refuses to take lives. When smashing rabbits, it smashes them with precision, but only knocks them unconscious without killing them. This is also the reason why Lin Fan cannot control it.

  Two people flew far away, and a column of water in the lake supported Zhang Tongyuan out of the water. Zhang Tongyuan spat out a small fish from his mouth, looking at the two people leaving, feeling very unhappy. He gritted his teeth and sent a flying sword with a message: "To the Purple Cloud Hall, Purple Sun Sect, there are two treacherous thieves in the surrounding counties and towns, wantonly bullying numerous good women. One person wears a green Taoist robe, one person wears white book attire, attached is their portrait. The two thieves have some cultivation, they must be caught together, after being captured, immediately report to me."

  Zhang Tongyuan is not a blank slate like Gu Yan or Lin Fan, he is the left guardian of the Purple Bamboo Temple of the Zi Yang Sect. As soon as the flying sword and book appeared, the Purple Bamboo Temple was shaken. The Purple Bamboo Temple was in the midst of a grand ceremony to appoint a new leader, but there were traitors within its sphere of influence. The disciples of the Purple Bamboo Temple's Zi Yang Sect rushed out of the mountain to search for the whereabouts of the traitor.

  ……

  Zixiao Hall is located in the midst of Zi Xiao Mountain, and its main hall stands majestically at the summit of a cluster of peaks. The mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, making it a land of spiritual energy and blessings. The unique geography of Zi Xiao Mountain has given rise to numerous talented individuals, thanks to its exceptional natural advantages.

  The newly appointed head of the Purple Gourd Palace, Purple Cloud True Person, is receiving a visit from the Orthodox Sect Master. The Purple Cloud True Person was originally the sect master of the Purple Sun Sect because he was capable of taking over as the head, Zhang Tongyuan was promoted from disciple to protector of the Purple Sun Sect. From the head to the disciples in the Purple Gourd Palace, everyone wears purple Taoist robes, with their identity and status distinguished by the number of auspicious clouds on their robes. The head's robe has seven auspicious clouds, while Zhang Tongyuan, as a protector, has three auspicious clouds.

  Inside the grand hall, guests were being entertained, with tea and fruit arranged on the tables. People from various sects who had been invited sat in their seats. Ziyun True Person was seated at the head of the table, but he didn't stay in his seat for long, instead making small talk with everyone. At this moment, a trusted disciple whispered something in Ziyun True Person's ear, and his expression suddenly turned stern.

  The Zixiao Temple is the first major faction, but it has internal problems. The successive leaders of the Zixiao Temple have always been the strongest among the ten sects, the leader of the Zi Yang Sect, who took over as the leader, and the Zi Yang Sect was a trusted sect of the leader, which had become a convention. The other nine sects are like nine vassals, following the orders of the leader, but the leader has no right to interfere with internal affairs.
