Lin Dan held the big knife and walked towards He Chongling step by step. The other party laughed arrogantly and said word by word: "I have cultivated you carefully for this day! Lin Dan, I will remember you after you die."
The words "I remember you" would have sounded like nature's music to the original owner, but Lin Dan just glanced at him indifferently, with no emotion in his eyes. Feeling a huge energy force coming from the side, she didn't even look at who the attacker was, but flew forward with a light tap of her toes. The sudden increase in speed allowed her to avoid the energy force, leaving only a bottomless, finger-sized hole engraved on the granite.
Seeing Lin Dan flying towards him, He Chongling quickly opened his five fingers to greet him. He thought that she would obediently allow him to suck her dry, but he didn't expect her to suddenly draw out her sword and fight hard.
He Chongling's confident expression finally shattered, but he did not avoid the sword. Instead, he put his five fingers together to hold the blade, trying to crush it. In a flash, he had no time to think about how Lin Dan could avoid Zi Gu's control and attack him. He just wanted to beat this traitor into a pulp with one palm.
Lin Dan looked at He Chongling expressionlessly the whole time, the extremely violent internal energy in his body was continuously transformed into sword energy, which instantly crushed He Chongling's five fingers. The blade continued to move forward, splitting his arm straight and piercing his heart, crushing the female Gu in an instant.
He Chongling's arrogant expression froze on his face. He slowly lowered his head to look at the steel knife stuck in his chest, then slowly raised his head to look at this woman who was like an insect or ant and whom he had never taken seriously.
"You actually..." Before he could finish his sentence, the energy in the blade exploded in his body like thunder, and puffs of blood mist floated on Lin Dan's pale face, but she didn't even blink.
The area was filled with believers, but they did not dare to move forward. No one had ever thought that the leader would actually practice such evil skills, and treat everyone as tools to absorb his internal energy, raising them like livestock; no one could have imagined that when his martial arts skills had reached perfection and he was about to reach the pinnacle, he would be killed by the Left Protector with a single blow!
The leader was already a top-notch master, and later he absorbed the internal strength of dozens of top-notch masters. Logically, this should be enough for him to be promoted to a half-step master, but as soon as Lin Dan appeared, he swung a knife and sent him to see the King of Hell. So what level of master is Lin Dan?
Everyone looked at each other, then slowly stepped back, all horrified.
Lin Dan pulled out the blood-stained steel knife, staring at He Chongling's body with his dark eyes, an inexplicable expression. Only now did she realize what kind of irretrievable quagmire she had fallen into. Those who practice Shura Sword are enduring the pain of being cut into pieces every moment. However, when they fight with others and kill indiscriminately, the internal energy in their bodies will be poured into their palms and weapons, crushing the enemies, and only the endless vitality will remain in their bodies. All the pain left them in an instant...
Lin Dan was killing to her heart's content and she killed to her heart's content. She wished there were ten or eight more He Chonglings in front of her so that she could kill endlessly!
Only when she is killing can she get a moment of peace, and this is precisely the most terrifying aspect of the "Ashura Sword" technique. If practitioners want to calm the severe pain in their bodies, they must immerse themselves in killing all the time. Since they have already cut off love, they naturally lose their humanity, and over time they will become machines that only know how to kill. If one day they completely lose themselves, they will also lose control over the two energies of life and death. Once the balance is broken, the death energy will prevail and destroy their lifeblood.
In other words, those who practice "Ashura Sword" are destined to go astray and die.
Lin Dan closed his eyes, his heart already cold. No wonder the old leader was willing to pass this top-level martial arts technique to the original owner. No wonder He Chongling, who was so jealous of others' talents, didn't even want to rush to practice it. It turned out that from the very beginning, they had chosen a dead end for the original owner. In their eyes, she was probably already a dead person.
But Lin Dan would never admit defeat. She clenched the steel knife tightly and silently carved a bottom line for herself in her heart - even if she had to endure endless pain, she would not allow herself to become an inhumane killing machine. Being ruthless and cruel are two completely different concepts.
After thinking about it, she chopped off He Chongling's head with a knife and walked towards the mountain gate step by step. The other believers didn't dare to say a word, let alone stop her, they just followed her from a distance.
"Master, what happened just now?" He Yufei, who was in the limelight a moment ago but has now been forgotten, asked with a pale face. She never expected that He Chongling, whose strength had greatly increased, would be killed by Lin Dan with one sword and his head chopped off. While doing all this, Lin Danmo didn't even frown or even blink. At that time, she really looked like a demon crawling out of hell, terrifying for no reason.
Bai Yan frowned slightly and muttered in an inaudible voice: "Ashura... has come to the world..."
…………
Lin Dan arrived at the mountain gate and casually threw out He Chongling's head, saying word by word: "This is what you want. I will temporarily mark the line here. If you keep your promise, leave quickly. If you cross this line, I will kill you without mercy!"
She raised the sword and casually slashed it in front of her toes. The violent energy actually split the hard ground into a deep groove. The powerful energy dissipated in all directions. Anyone standing too close would be crushed into pieces.
The upright disciple standing in the front stepped back hastily, and only looked at the ground with lingering fear when the fierce sword energy had weakened enough. Then he found that the hem of his clothes and boots were cut by the residual energy, and bright red blood seeped through the cloth. He was slightly injured without realizing it.
This silent demonstration immediately caused all the major sects to feel deeply wary of Lin Dan.
"Half-step Grandmaster?" The four elders of Lianyun City asked in surprise and doubt.
Lin Dan just glanced at him indifferently and lowered her head, with one hand behind her back and the other hand holding the bloody steel knife, and said slowly: "It's time for you to go." Her feet never crossed the line she drew, because this was also the bottom line in her heart. If these people keep their word and retreat immediately, she will not take action; if they insist on attacking the mountain, she will have to kill them.
Although the old leader and He Chongling treated the original owner like a pig and a dog, she was raised by an old grandmother in the mountain gate, and several maids had served her since she was a child and were loyal to her; there were also many adopted children receiving training in the back mountain. They have not yet become mature, and therefore have not done any evil, so they do not deserve to die.
Cutting off all feelings and love does not mean that Lin Dan will lose her three basic values. She knows the principle of repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge. There are some people in the East Saint Church that she does not want to care about at all, but there are some people she cannot ignore.
Although the devil He Chongling is dead, a new leader with more powerful martial arts and more ruthless behavior has emerged in the Demon Cult. If she is let go this time, when she recovers in the future, there will be a bloody storm in the martial arts world. Therefore, the Fourth Elder never thought of letting Lin Dan go. Those words before were just misleading words to confuse people's minds. Although they were not afraid of the Demon Cult, if they could cause chaos in the Demon Cult from within and reduce the casualties and troubles of the righteous faction, it would be very beneficial.
"Kill!" The fourth elder raised his hand with a cold tone, but the next moment, his eyes, which had been slightly closed, suddenly widened, as if he had seen something strange.
Bai Yan, who was hiding behind the crowd, nodded inaudibly. The fourth elder's hesitant expression immediately turned into determination, and he ordered: "Kill without mercy!"
The followers of the Dongsheng Sect, who had thought they could escape death, were suddenly in an uproar. Some angrily cursed these upright disciples as hypocrites, some fled in panic, and others picked up swords and fought back. Lin Danze always kept to the line under his feet and the bottom line in his heart. He never got angry because of these people's inconsistency, nor was he afraid because of the siege of hundreds of masters.
She longed to kill, yet she also tried to suppress it. She never takes the initiative to attack, but as long as someone crosses that line, she will raise her steel knife and chop the person in half. Her moves were very simple, just chopping and slashing, nothing fancy, but the sword energy she released was full of violent energy, and only needed to cut a small hole to suddenly create a bloody hole.
Countless top-notch masters attacked her, but were turned into bloody corpses by her strong energy. However, if they took the initiative to retreat and move away from the cordon, she would not chase them. She always sticks to that bottom line and never crosses it even a little bit.
Gradually, these upright masters became afraid and cowardly, and they all moved away from the line that ran through the mountain gate, and dared not cross the line again.
Lin Dan then shook off the blood on the knife and slowly exhaled. Her toes were firmly on the line, and after such a fierce battle, she had not moved a step. What is the concept? This meant that she had enough energy to deal with these top masters, and her realm might be far beyond everyone's imagination.
Lin Dan was enjoying the killing so much that the excruciating pain had long since left her. Pure madness and joy kept washing over her mind. But her mind never wavered. She killed those who crossed the line and let those who retreated go. She always knew what she was doing. She was already in the abyss, but she could climb with her bare hands towards the sunny exit.
In the midst of the killing, she discovered a terrifying secret - the more blood the knife in her hand drank, the more her skills increased. She could easily reach a realm that others had failed to reach after decades of hard practice by just killing a few more people. This "Ashura Blade" is undoubtedly a top-level martial art, but it is also a magical skill that harms others and oneself. However, Lin Dan has no other choice. If she does not practice, she will die. If she abandons her martial arts, she will also die of heart failure. She can only move forward courageously.
