Chapter 49 Kill Lu Jiao, Whale Fall. Go, kill Lu Jiao for me. ...
"Indeed, Lord Yu Wu is more powerful." If Xian Ting were even slightly more powerful than Lu Jiao, Lu Jiao would not exist in this world.
So, Lord Fish Witch was too kind, he thought to himself as he returned home.
Lin Jianyu also felt that Lu Jiao was too kind.
Ahead of him was Lone Wolf, behind him was Idle Thunder, and in between were some nameless bastards, A, B, and C. Lu Jiao could have killed them all, but he chose to let them go.
Uh, even a lone wolf isn't as good as Lu Jiao, right?
I'm not entirely sure, I'll ask around.
Do you know a lone traveler?
"know."
"Is she more powerful, or is my boss more powerful?"
"Lord Fish Witch is amazing," Gui Cheng said without hesitation.
Lin Jianyu thought the same thing, but...
"She can hurt my boss." She still remembers the scene of Du Xingyi knocking away the red silk blindfold from Lu Jiao's eyes; it hurt so much.
"She has a divine artifact, so it's normal that she could hurt them." It was precisely because his master knew that Duxing had a divine artifact that he didn't attack them within the territory of Gusu.
Yes, Xian Ting had already found them back in Gusu, but he didn't take action against them because Du Xing was there in Gusu.
It's not that I'm afraid of traveling alone, it's just that I feel it's unnecessary.
Unlike Lu Jiao, Du Xing possesses a divine artifact and has the entire Serpent Clan behind her. Once they clash, it will be a life-or-death struggle between the two races.
Although Lu Jiao is a shaman of the Merfolk, he has always been a loner, so a confrontation with him will not escalate into a racial war.
Of course, this is on the premise that he is not killed.
Gui Cheng was quite relieved that Xian Ting couldn't kill Lu Jiao; on the contrary, he was more worried that Xian Ting would ruin himself.
But he just wouldn't listen to reason, and no amount of persuasion could change his mind.
Lin Jianyu, who knew nothing about these things, had only two words in his mind after hearing his words.
A magical artifact.
This was the second time she had heard this name today. When was the first time she heard it? Oh, I remember, when she was hit by the hemp.
Xian Ting seems to refer to whale fall as a divine artifact.
"What is a divine artifact?"
"The weapons of the ancient gods are collectively called divine artifacts," Gui Cheng said.
Whale Fall is her master's natal sword. This natal sword is not the kind of sword that sword cultivators cultivate through life and death in cultivation novels, but rather a companion weapon that accompanies him from birth.
In other words, unless her master is a god, the Whale Fall could not possibly be a divine artifact.
So, here's the question.
Could her master be a deity?
The answer remains unknown; we can only continue asking.
"Do you think the sword in my hand looks like a divine weapon?" Hmm, she finally noticed that the whale had fallen back into its sheath.
Gui Cheng looked at the sword in her hand and, to be honest, couldn't tell what it was.
"I haven't seen many divine weapons, only two in total. One is the four-sided mace in Duxing's hand, and the other is the halberd in the hands of the young prince."
"The Four-Sided Mace originally belonged to the God of War Han Qi. It was already very powerful, and now it also contains a wisp of Han Qi's remnant soul, making its power immeasurable."
"My master picked up the Fangtian Halberd from the battlefield of the War of the Gods. I don't know which god it originally belonged to, but its power is also very strong."
"The sword in your hand looks ordinary, but its power should not be underestimated." After all, not everyone's weapon can break through the shackles of its master. Didn't you see that Lu Jiao's ice sword was briefly stopped? "But whether it is a divine artifact, I can't say for sure."
After hearing so much from him, Lin Jianyu no longer cared whether the whale fall was a divine artifact or not; all she could think about was his comment that it seemed ordinary.
"Where is it ordinary? It's absolutely amazing." Apart from Whale Rise, she had never seen a weapon more amazing than Whale Fall.
Return journey: "..."
As a member of the Minyue people, a local ethnic group, he really wanted to tell her that "wow" wasn't a good word.
After talking about the whale fall, Lin Jianyu asked a few unimportant questions about the return journey, which he answered one by one.
Although the answers were not entirely satisfactory, he answered them nonetheless, and he answered every question.
With such outstanding qualities, how could Lin Jianyu let them go?
So she asked the question she most wanted to know.
Do you know what a hybrid is?
"You didn't know?" Gui Cheng's question wasn't rhetorical, but rather a sound of surprise.
“I know I’m a bastard.” That sounds so awkward. “But I don’t know what a bastard is, or rather, what forbidden arts are.”
"Didn't Lord Fish Shaman tell you?"
"No, I asked, but he wouldn't tell me."
"I don't know much either."
"Just tell me what you know," Lin Jianyu said, no longer expecting to get any useful information from him.
She thought he knew something similar to what Chang Kong knew, but she didn't expect him to reveal a secret.
"The forbidden technique was created by Lord Fish Witch in order to revive the God of War Han Qi. It is said to be a failed technique, hence it has no name."
"It was only after it was passed down among the clansmen and widely used that it acquired its name."
"The names are not consistent; I know of three, the most widely known of which is the art of immortality."
"The Art of Immortality?" This name was somewhat beyond Lin Jianyu's comprehension. "Why is it called the Art of Immortality?"
"The Fish Witch once said, 'Only when the soul is immortal can one attain eternal life.'"
"And the magic he created, if used properly, can make the soul immortal, hence the name magic of eternal life."
"The essence of immortality is actually a transfer, transferring one's own aptitude, talent, and bloodline to another body, and then possessing it."
"Possession?" Lin Jianyu was a little confused.
"Yes, judging from your situation, you should be the one who has been possessed, although I don't understand why the other party would want to possess the body of a pure-blooded human."
"For our Mountain and Sea Clan, the bodies of pure-blooded humans are too weak, and there is basically no possibility of them successfully undergoing mutation." As Gui Cheng said this, he looked her up and down, as if to see if there was anything special about her besides being a pure-blooded human.
"Does possession have to be the only option? Can't we just save people?" Lin Jianyu asked tentatively.
"Save someone? You mean, someone used forbidden magic to save you?" The return journey was easy to understand.
"Yes," Lin Jianyu said, suppressing the urge to nod.
"Who? Lord Fish Shaman?"
"No, it's my master."
"Who is your master?" Gui Cheng was unusually curious.
"A sea creature who accidentally learned of the forbidden technique." Lin Jianyu said this not because he didn't want to reveal Lin Jinshui's identity, but because he felt that Lin Jinshui probably didn't know him.
My condolences.
Lin Jianyu: "???"
Lin Jianyu refused to accept the loss: "Does the use of forbidden techniques to save lives discriminate based on who uses them?"
"Of course, if it was Lord Fish Shaman who saved you with forbidden magic, then he was saving you. If it was someone else who saved you with forbidden magic, then one of you must die." That's why he said to accept his condolences.
"Do I still have a choice?" Wasn't she the one who was destined to die?
“Yes,” Gui Cheng said. “The process of mutation is not only the process of the other party transferring their aptitude, talent, and bloodline, but also the process of you plundering the other party’s aptitude, talent, bloodline, and even life.”
"Therefore, besides the Immortality Technique, it also has two other widely known names: one is the Aptitude, Talent, and Bloodline Transfer Technique, and the other is the Aptitude, Talent, and Bloodline Plunder Technique."
"If I successfully undergo the mutation..." Lin Jianyu didn't finish her question, but Gui Cheng could roughly guess what she wanted to ask, and continued along with her words, "Then the other party will die."
Lin Jianyu: "..."
Lin Jianyu suddenly understood what Lu Jiao had said earlier: as long as she doesn't regret it in the future.
Her life meant her master's death, which was tantamount to her killing her master with her own hands. How could she not regret it?
No wonder you kept it from her, you were just waiting to see her regret it!
She was going to kill that wretched fish.
As an impulsive person, she took a step forward the moment she finished thinking that, a step that almost took her life.
Forgetting that he was still within Xian Ting's restrictions, every movement he made sparked and flashed.
After a brief loss of voice, she did not scream again. Instead, she endured the pain and said to Whale Fall, "Whale Fall, go and kill Lu Jiao for me."
Before I could even process her sudden self-harm, she said this.
Then, her sword, which seemed to be a magical artifact, started shaking uncontrollably, as if it had Parkinson's disease.
"Go," Lin Jianyu commanded again.
She thought Whale Fall wouldn't listen to her, but as soon as she finished speaking, Whale Fall was unsheathed and headed towards Lu Jiao.
The journey was still full of sparks and lightning, but it went more smoothly than when he stabbed Xian Ting; at least he didn't get stuck halfway.
After breaking free from Xian Ting's restriction, it stabbed straight at Lu Jiao, and then bent.
Lin Jianyu: "..."
Bai was worried.
Yes, she can still distinguish between superiors and enemies, even though she's on the receiving end.
Although she didn't think the whale fall could hurt Lu Jiao, what if it did?
If anything were to happen to Lu Jiao, it wouldn't just be him who would die; she would most likely not survive either.
But everyone has to die eventually. Since she's going to die anyway, it's not a bad thing to take Lu Jiao down with her.
Yes, the thought that she almost killed her master made her lose her temper again.
Halfway through, she suddenly remembered something, or more precisely, she discovered a loophole.
"You said that mutation is both transfer and plunder. If the transfer is successful, the mutation will fail; if the plunder is successful, the mutation will succeed. But if I fail the mutation, I will explode and die. How can the other party possess my body?"
"Therefore, normal members of the Mountain and Sea Clan wouldn't use forbidden techniques on pure-blooded humans," Gui Cheng remarked.
Lin Jianyu: "...If I explode and die, what will happen to the other party?"
“You will die,” Gui Cheng said. “Once a forbidden technique is used, there are only two outcomes: success or failure. Success means life, failure means death. The destruction of your body not only means that your mutation has failed, but also that his transfer has failed.”
"Then how will my master live?" A successful mutation means a successful plunder, in which case her master will die. Conversely, if she explodes and dies, her master will die with her.
"You'll have to ask Lord Fish Witch about that. As I said, I don't know much," Gui Cheng said helplessly.
Lin Jianyu: "..."
Although, she really wanted to complain that if what he knew was not much, then probably only Lu Jiao in the world would dare to say that he knew a lot.
Thinking of Lu Jiao, she felt inexplicably guilty.
I just heard Gui Cheng say that if she succeeds in her transformation, her master will die. I thought that Lu Jiao helped her with the transformation so that she would kill her master. I was so impulsive that I didn't think about what would happen to her master if she failed in her transformation. So I stabbed her in the back. Although Whale Fall turned gay as expected, I was still guilty.
Hopefully, Lu Jiao is too busy fighting to know anything.
Uh, it seems a bit risky.
As everyone knows, Lu Jiao is an extremely good fish at multitasking; no matter what he's doing, he never forgets to eavesdrop.
Unlike her, who even forgot about needing to urinate because of the forbidden technique.
Now that I've remembered it again, it's truly a terrible thing.
Just as she was hesitating whether to endure the pain like Whale Fall and run out of Xian Ting's restriction in a streak of sparks and lightning, well, thanks to Lu Jiao and Whale Fall, she already knew the straight-line range of the restriction was less than four meters. Gritting her teeth... even if she gritted her teeth to pieces, she still had a chance to get out alive.
Okay, she gave up.
But the reason for giving up wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with his teeth, but that when he hesitated, he discovered that Lu Jiao had somehow become the one at a disadvantage.
At first, even when outnumbered, he could overwhelm Xian Ting's subordinates with his superior martial arts skills. Later, when Qian Li left and Ao Xue joined, he was still able to handle the situation with relative ease, until Xian Ting was eliminated.
Xian Ting's combat power is no less than Du Xing's, who wields a divine weapon. In a one-on-one fight, he would definitely be no match for Lu Jiao. However, it's hard to say whether he can defeat Lu Jiao in a group. In any case, in Lin Jianyu's opinion, Lu Jiao is at a disadvantage at this moment.
"Didn't you say I'm more powerful than your master? Why don't I look like it?"
"That's because Lord Fish Witch hasn't yet unleashed his true power," Gui Cheng said, pulling a wooden fish from his sleeve.
Lin Jianyu had his back to him and didn't see him take out the wooden fish. He was still thinking about what it meant that he hadn't shown his true strength yet when he heard a heavy sound of striking the wooden fish behind him.
She recognized the voice; she had heard it back in the Minyue region.
There was nothing special about it, just an ordinary sound, but she hadn't forgotten that back in Minyue, it was this very ordinary sound that easily neutralized Lu Jiao's killing move.
Upon hearing the voice again, she acted faster than she thought, turning her head to look in the direction from which the voice came, and then, nothing more.
That damned Xian Ting, she must kill him.
Before that, she questioned Gui Cheng: "What are you doing?"
"It was a sneak attack!" Gui Cheng said, though his argument was unjustified.
Lin Jianyu: "..."
I haven't seen such a shameless person in a long time.
"You shameless old turtle, if you're so tough, fight me head-on. What kind of hero attacks from behind?"
I don’t know if Lu Jiao was ambushed or not. I want to turn around and look, but I’m afraid of being struck by lightning.
"I was never a hero," Gui Cheng said, striking the wooden fish again.
Lin Jianyu: "...Turn my head back, I don't want to see you."
On the way back, he considerately helped her turn her head back. Afterwards, while tapping the wooden fish, he said, "You haven't seen the Fish Witch at her peak, have you? Neither have I."
"The only person in this world who has ever seen him at his peak is probably my master. The power to slay gods—not only does my master want to see him again, but I also want to see him."
"I wonder if we'll have that luck today."
Although Lin Jianyu didn't quite understand what he was saying, she had a feeling that it wasn't a good thing, but she couldn't stop him and could only worry anxiously.
At that moment, she caught a glimpse of Yun Dan and the others out of the corner of her eye.
It was unclear whether the group hadn't run far or had run far and then returned. The dog lurked furtively behind Qianli, looking both comical and ridiculous.
Lin Jianyu laughed, a laugh born of anger.
If even she could spot them, it would be really difficult for others not to.
However, she did not tell them to leave.
Firstly, they were afraid of making things worse and attracting Xian Ting's attention, who might then kill them. Secondly, with Qian Li around, they might not be good at fighting, but escaping shouldn't be a problem.
After Gui Cheng joined, Lu Jiao was at an even greater disadvantage. In the blink of an eye, Xian Ting, wielding his halberd, swiftly severed Lu Jiao's ice sword in half with a single blow.
Uh, Lin Jianyu didn't notice when the Fangtian Halberd went from Aoxue's hands to Xianting's. In any case, the divine weapon was indeed a divine weapon. In the hands of a skilled person, it could cut through Lu Jiao's ice sword with ease.
It's not that Aoxue isn't powerful, but compared to Xianting, she is indeed considerably inferior.
Thinking that Du Xing had also injured Lu Jiao with the help of a divine artifact, Lin Jianyu panicked and subconsciously shouted "Whale Fall".
Whale Fall, still wandering the battlefield, seemed to receive some order and suddenly stabbed towards Xian Ting.
He failed to strike and easily dodged the attack, but Lin Jianyu truly experienced the power of a sword moving at will.
Unaware that she had learned to use her bloodline power in her desperation, she only focused on directing the whale fall towards Xian Ting.
Well, it doesn't matter whether he's killed or not, I'll just annoy him to death.
Xian Ting was indeed annoyed, and on a whim, he delivered a devastating blow to Lin Jianyu.
Lin Jianyu, who nearly died on the spot: "..."
One should indeed not interfere in the cause and effect of others; look at her, she almost died.
After dealing with Lin Jianyu, Xian Ting intensified his offensive, determined to kill Lu Jiao.
Lu Jiao was finding it increasingly difficult to cope, and when Lin Jianyu looked at him again, he already had battle wounds on his body.
Seeing that he was no match for the enemy, Qianli flew over to help. But as soon as he arrived, he saw that Qianli's green eyes were slowly turning blood red, which frightened him so much that he turned around and flew away quickly.
Lin Jianyu saw his figure disappear into the horizon and thought he had run away. But then he came back and said something to Yun Dan and the others, and they all got on his back.
After that, he spread his wings again, but instead of leaving in the direction he had just left, he returned to the battlefield.
Lin Jianyu was wondering why he had to bring Yun Dan and the others along when he helped her, when she saw him fly across the battlefield toward her.
She was about to remind him of the restriction when he had already crashed into it; that's how fast the Kunpeng was.
Qianli deliberately crashed into the barrier. He flew over to try and take her with him to escape, but he clearly overestimated himself and underestimated Xianting.
This collision not only failed to break the barrier, but also severely injured him.
Fortunately, his feathers were insulators, and Xian Ting's restriction failed to knock him down from the sky in one fell swoop; otherwise, Yun Dan and the others on his back would have also suffered.
After regaining her balance, she said to Lin Jianyu, "The Great Demon King has gone mad. We have to escape quickly. Good luck to you." Before Lin Jianyu could react, she had already bypassed the restrictions and disappeared into the horizon once again.
This time he did not come back.
"Huh?" Lin Jianyu clearly didn't understand what he meant. She wanted to ask something, but when she opened her mouth, she found that he had already disappeared. She could only turn her attention to the crazy demon king Lu Jiao, whom he had mentioned, and try to figure it out herself.
Lu Jiao had his back to her at this moment, holding the whale fall in his hand... Hmm? When did the whale fall get into his hands? Never mind, it doesn't matter, anyway, she doesn't dare to use it again for the time being.
With the whale fall, his combat power has obviously increased. In the short time she watched, he had already killed two people.
Seeing him kill one person with a single sword strike, all she could think about was the potential backlash.
But compared to life, backlash isn't so scary... just kidding, those two words are terrifying just to hear them.
Most importantly, it's unclear whether the backlash is affecting her or her master.
The backlash was manageable on her, as Lu Jiao was there and she wouldn't die easily. But the backlash on her master would be terrible. Her master was already on the verge of death, and if the backlash happened, he would surely die.
But it's impossible for Lu Jiao to stop; he simply won't listen to her.
As for vying with him for control of the whale fall...
Regardless of whether she could actually win, doing something like this that sabotages her teammate is enough once; if she does it again, she's afraid Lu Jiaozhen will really kill her.
"That's enough. Can't you see you've angered our boss? If you don't stop, you're all going to die." Well, if he can't persuade Lu Jiao, he might as well try persuading Gui Cheng beside him.
"Your sword..." It was Ao Xue who spoke, appearing behind her without her noticing, startling her.
"My sword can pierce through the body and kill the soul directly. If you don't want Xian Ting to lose his soul here, then quickly call him and leave," Lin Jianyu threatened.
No sooner had she finished speaking than a sword was placed against her neck.
Lin Jianyu: "..."
They hadn't even said a word, how did they end up using swords?
