Although Yu Renjie's words were harsh, the promises he made were quite tempting!
After all, the Qingcheng Sect is the third-ranked sect in the Three Rings Continent! Being Yu Renjie's henchman would certainly bring many benefits. Yu Renjie could also invite renowned teachers to tutor him; in the path of cultivation, having a renowned teacher is crucial! Finding a renowned teacher can save you from many detours!
Many disciples felt that Lin Caogen was a smart man, and that it wouldn't be shameful for him to submit to the current situation! They thought it would be better for him to turn to Renjie and become his henchman!
However, Lin Caogen just chuckled and said, "Today, you look like a dead man to me! There's no need for us to talk; let's just fight!"
Yu Renjie was instantly enraged!
He never expected Lin Caogen to be so ungrateful!
"Boy! Since you're truly not afraid of death, I'll grant your wish!"
After saying that, Yu Renjie drew his Snow Drinking Saber!
"Wait a minute!"
Yunhai suddenly stopped them, saying, "You two must sign the waiver of liability first! We must go through the proper procedures!"
Yu Renjie originally intended to kill Lin Caogen with a single blow to settle the matter! Unexpectedly, Yunhai started nagging again!
Helpless, Yu Renjie signed his name on the death warrant with a stroke of his pen!
Lin Caogen then stepped forward and signed the document!
The two then returned to the Bird's Nest arena!
Yu Renjie chuckled coldly and said, "Snow Drinking Mad Blade! The wind blows, the rivers are covered in snow, a single blade cleaves through eternity! Take this!!!"
With a swift slash, a blade of immortal energy condensed from his sword slashed towards Lin Caogen's forehead!
This is definitely a long-range attack! Once hit, your head can be sliced in two from 200 meters away.
Suddenly, Lin Caogen moved, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake!
Yu Renjie's attack bypassed Lin Caogen's body and hit the barrier wall in the distance!
Hei Cang'er, the leader of the Bai Cang Sect, exclaimed, "Good lad! This is the Ghost Shadow Step! This footwork is indeed exquisite. It not only requires extremely high comprehension ability, but also hard work in cultivation! This lad is only at the peak of the 9th level of the Body Refinement stage, yet he was able to use the Ghost Shadow Step to dodge Young Master Yu's attack. Amazing!"
In an instant, the ten sect leaders watching the battle all saw Lin Caogen's extraordinary talent and were all inspired to admire him!
Yu Renjie was furious. He had thought he could kill Lin Caogen with one move, but he hadn't expected Lin to dodge it! This was outrageous!
In a fit of rage, Yu Renjie unleashed seven more strikes!
Seven blades of energy shot straight toward Lin Caogen. These seven consecutive slashes were extremely fast, with one slash following another immediately, forming a blade array!
Lin Caogen used the Ghost Shadow Steps technique and narrowly avoided it!
Yu Renjie spat on the field and roared, "You're too fast! You're as slow as a fly! Now, here comes my Eighteen Slashes to Annihilate Your Family! Let's see how you dodge that!"
All that could be seen was Yu Renjie channeling all his true energy into the blade!
"Eighteen Slashes to Annihilate the Entire Family!!!"
His body spun wildly, and then he swung the Snow Drinking Mad Blade, unleashing eighteen blades of immortal energy!
Hei Cang'er, the leader of the Bai Cang Sect, exclaimed in shock: "It's actually the long-lost Eighteen Slashes of Annihilation!!! This immortal technique is only at the mid-level of the Xuan rank! Although its power is not great, the eighteen slashes are executed in one go, forming a net of blades that the enemy can hardly avoid! Although the power of each slash is slightly weaker, it is still enough to cleave Lin Caogen into pieces! What a pity for such a talented young man!"
Black Cocklebur had barely finished speaking!
The net of blades formed by the Eighteen Slashes that wiped out the entire family had already enveloped Lin Caogen!
No matter how fast Lin Caogen is or which direction he dodges, he will inevitably get hit by three blows!
There's no way to dodge it! He can only take it head-on! The eight directions of up, down, left, right, upper left, lower left, upper right, and lower right are all blocked by the Eighteen Slashes of Annihilation. With Lin Caogen's current strength, he absolutely cannot avoid it!
Suddenly, Lin Caogen stood still, mobilized his immortal energy, and summoned a golden bell a foot away from him!
Black Cocklebur commented, "Not bad! This kid understands things! He actually used the Golden Bell Body Protection! The body refining technique he cultivates is the Golden Bell Shield! Only a top-tier Earth-rank technique like the Golden Bell Shield can temporarily form a protective shield of immortal energy around the body! It is said that this technique is extremely difficult to cultivate. I wonder how this kid managed to cultivate it successfully in such a short time!"
In the blink of an eye! Yu Renjie's three sword energies struck the golden bell in front of Lin Caogen head-on!
A sharp cracking sound rang out! Then came the resounding clang of a bell, echoing through the heavens!
Lin Caogen's first layer of golden bell was shattered instantly! Then, all three blade energies struck the second layer of golden bell, which was only one millimeter thick!
Three chimes rang out!
The first blade of energy was completely blocked by the one-millimeter-thick golden bell and melted by the thunder and fire patterns covering its surface!
The same applies to the second blade of energy!
Only the third blade of energy was mostly dissolved by the golden bell! But even the one-millimeter-thick golden bell was eventually smashed to pieces by the impact!
The remaining half of the sword energy continued its momentum and struck Lin Caogen's chest directly!
Lin Caogen's coat was blown to shreds! His body was thrown dozens of meters away!
Hei Cang'er exclaimed, "This kid's Golden Bell Shield can actually form two layers of defensive Golden Bell! Amazing! Is he cultivating an enhanced version of the Golden Bell Shield? He withstood the Eighteen Slashes of Annihilation from a peak Core Formation Stage 6 cultivator with a Body Refining stage Golden Bell Shield! Could this enhanced version of the Golden Bell Shield be a high-level Heaven-rank technique?"
At this moment, everyone was shocked and puzzled!
The Emei Sect's Immortal Nun, Miejue Xianni, said, "I don't think so! It's impossible to cultivate a Heavenly Rank Body Refinement technique without a hundred years of hard work! Besides, I've never heard of any Heavenly Rank Body Refinement technique having characteristics like a golden bell shield! I estimate that this kid used a secret technique to condense golden bells twice with immortal essence to protect himself in a short period of time! The two layers of golden bells stacked together do indeed greatly increase the defensive power! Especially the kid's second layer of golden bells, it must be due to some secret technique! Think about it! Just now, there seemed to be array patterns on his second layer of golden bells!"
