Chapter 121: Death by Cervical Dislocation

Mo Lin usually carries a sword and a staff on his back. Today, he holds the sword and the staff in his hand, standing majestically at the door. The sword belt that originally tied the sword and the staff was now tied to a rough wooden board.

He stood silently beside Lin Du, looking at Shao Fei who was already dead in the room and Lin Yuan whose hand was turning black, but he couldn't help but recall the scene of Lin Du and Feng Yi playing chess before leaving.

Lin Du had never learned Go, and Feng Yi was named a teacher, but what he talked about was the layout.

"Look, now you are walking according to your planned layout, but you find that the other party is not following your expectations and the target is not here. What should you do?"

Lin Du lowered his eyes and sent the black piece forward, "Even if the end point is wrong, the direction is right."

"Lure the enemy deep inside, and be prepared for both situations. If they go the wrong way, they are not far from the end. We can always block the enemy's retreat."

Feng Yi put down the chess piece after hearing this. "Are you sure? You are learning the art of formations. You should know that a small mistake can lead to a huge error."

"If I could, I would just do it regardless of whether it was a mistake or not, and search the soul again." Lin Du paused and smiled helplessly, "Unfortunately, then I would be no different from the evil ways. If I really made a mistake, it would bring discredit to the Supreme Sect."

Without absolute power and authority, every action of a person will be subject to the shackles of judgment.

"Do you know why the disciples of the Supreme Sect travel abroad all year round?" Feng Yi put away the chessboard, Dan Feng's eyes sparkled, "Those who practice Taoism seek immortality and the great way, but this road is too long."

"It's so long that when you can't see the end, you'll always be entangled by something."

"The ways of the world, the changing world, power, fame, and fortune are nothing but changes in the eyes of high-level monks. However, on the road to becoming stronger, the resources you need and the conditions that shackle you must always be obtained through means."

"The means to achieve this, the path to choose, everything is a human practice."

Feng Yi smiled and looked at Lin Du in front of him. "You are young, but you know how to restrain yourself. This is a good thing. This time we are here to protect your safety. The rest is up to you to choose."

Good and evil are only a thought away. If Lin Du had broken the shackles on his body the first time he went down the mountain for trial, he should have been cultivating his mind in the Supreme Sect now.

Lin Du looked at Mo Lin, who was almost drowsy from listening to the words on the couch, and said, "People always want the complete truth."

Mo Lin noticed Lin Du's gaze and was startled awake, "Little... Little Master, why are you looking at me?"

"Nothing, I just thought that you and Tao Xian both have the title of senior brother," she turned to look at Tao Xian, "I have reversed many times today. When you confront your master tomorrow, we may have guessed wrong. But you have to remember one thing, Yin Zhong must be aware of your physical condition, so no matter who controls you, Yin Zhong, as your master, cannot escape the responsibility."

Tao Xian nodded, not quite understanding.

Mo Lin also met Tao Xian's anxious gaze and said to him in comfort, "Don't worry, we will all be behind you tomorrow."

The sky that was covered by mist was now dyed with bright golden edges by the sunset glow that broke through the clouds at dusk, and the rays of light were endless.

The tall young man held a sword and stood in the light.

He said softly, "Tao Xian, I'll take you to see it."

Lin Yuan was the first to react. He felt the spiritual energy draining away from his body and gritted his teeth to seal his meridians. He stared at Lin Du and said, "The disciple of the leader of the formation sect actually knows how to use the Gu Sect spell."

"I've thought about this for a long time. If a person's soul is damaged and he has to rely on devouring other people's souls and seizing their vitality to increase his cultivation and prolong his life, how can he have the spare energy to control so many soul imprints?"

Lin Du mobilized his spiritual power and poured it into the Floating Life Fan in his hand. "Why did he insist on bringing Shao Fei back? What else is there in Shao Fei that is worth him giving up his property for?"

"Until I saw a record about spirit-eating dragons that live in the Dantian. At first, dragon masters thought it was a symbiotic relationship. Dragons are shaped like golden elixirs. They live in the human body to absorb spiritual energy and use the human body as nutrients. After they grow up, they will strangle the host to death."

"After being refined by humans, this thing becomes a great tonic for humans. Not only can it absorb all spiritual energy, it also has another magical use."

Lin Du smiled as he looked at Lin Yuan, whose face was gradually turning pale. "It is said that it can tightly connect the body and the soul, so that people cannot see any signs of incompatibility after taking it away."

"However, the Soul-eating Dragons became extinct five hundred years ago, all because that Dragon Village was destroyed."

Lin Du sighed softly, "I wonder if you can answer a question for me. Why was the Gu Village destroyed?"

Lin Yuan's expression gradually turned terrifying. "As expected of you who is number one on the Qingyun Ranking, you are so smart that you are almost a demon. But do you know that wisdom leads to harm? Your innate deficiency is the result of your own fault."

Lin Du was too lazy to pay attention to his curse. He looked at Ju Yuan and Feng Yi who had already captured the other people in the blacksmith shop and breathed a sigh of relief. "Anyway, you will die before me, so I won't lose anything."

She walked into the store step by step. "You used all the chess pieces until the very end. It's a pity that you couldn't wait for us to leave."

"Oh, it looks like you're ready to run away?"

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Du, "What did you do to the Soul-Eating Dragon?"

The Floating Life Fan suddenly unfolded, and a stream of extremely cold spiritual power poured out. Lin Yuan hurriedly retreated, and was forced to unblock his acupoints and mobilize his spiritual power. However, the spiritual power was like a drop in the ocean, and he could not raise any spiritual power at all.

The young man was forced to throw everything within his reach at Lindu.

"This is the nature of the Soul Devouring Dragon. Isn't this the method you taught Shao Fei? Why don't you recognize the reverse Devouring Dragon Curse?"

"The Soul Devouring Dragon can devour the spiritual power of other dragons and bodies. You taught Shao Fei a blood formation that reverses the power of the mother and child dragons, so Qi Zhun's spiritual power that he couldn't use was devoured by the Soul Devouring Dragon."

Lin Du smiled and used his spiritual power to wave away those heavy objects and magical weapons, then strangled the man's throat with incredible precision.

"If you behave yourself, you can live another quarter of an hour."

"Now," Lin Du slowly tightened his left hand, "Tell me, why do you want the remains of my great nephew?"

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "It's just fate. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. I have nothing to say."

Lin Du laughed and said, "That's just right. I'm too lazy to argue with you."

No one at the same level can be a match for Lin Du, not to mention that Lin Yuan's spiritual power was devoured by the Soul-Eating Dragon when he dug it out. Now he is reaping the fruits of his own labor and is like a useless person.

Veins on the pale hands slowly popped out from the exertion, and a teeth-grinding snapping sound was heard in the blacksmith shop.

Lin Du sighed softly, "The method of death by cervical dislocation is just right for a rat in your groin."

After she finished speaking, her consciousness poured out and poured into the man's spiritual palace.

The man's ghost struggled violently, trying to resist Lin Du's soul search.

Before Lin Du could react, an extremely strong white light blocked the damage for her.

"Go ahead and search. This old monster must have lived for at least a thousand years." Yan Ye's voice echoed in her consciousness, and he did not forget to add, "This will not be an exception next time."

Lin Du closed her eyes. She didn't pay any attention to the sound of weapons clashing behind her.

Mo Lin stood silently behind Lin Du, holding a sword and a staff, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, looking at the cultivator who suddenly appeared in front of him, "A sneak attack is not what a gentleman does."

There was another powerful and fierce sword energy, and the black gold sword and stick calmly met it. The spiritual power collided and made a clanging sound.

"It just so happens that I haven't exercised for a long time." The young man relaxed his frown and raised his hand to block the falling sword. "I think you are willing to practice with me."
