C24 The Power of the Ice Blade
C24 The Power of the Ice Blade
The room fell into darkness once again, causing the black-clothed man to fail. However, he was not in a hurry at all. He patiently searched for Lin Yue's hiding place.
After a short exchange of blows, he had confirmed that Lin Yue's attack power was very weak. It was just that his speed was very fast. As long as he found an opportunity, he could kill him with a single strike.
"Lin Yue, all your struggles are futile. You won't be able to escape." The man in black said in a flat tone. At the same time, he slowly moved forward.
His footsteps were very light, and almost no sound could be heard.
Lin Yue did not respond. He was circulating the Ice Marrow skill, trying to control the power of the Ice Marrow.
The man in black was getting closer and closer. Lin Yue felt the pressure getting stronger and stronger, but he kept calm.
The broken dog had disappeared again. Whether he could survive tonight depended on the power of the Ice Marrow.
Luckily, he had broken through to the third level and circulated the Nine-heavens Wind Controlling Arts at a faster speed.
"Die!" The man in black threw out several cold beams towards Lin Yue.
"Damn, there are still hidden weapons!" Lin Yue had a headache. He had no choice but to use the Imperial Wind Technique to dodge, but because of this, he was exposed.
The man in black sneered. He threw his fists at Lin Yue again.
Lin Yue did not dare to confront him head on. He waved the short sword in his hand and kept dodging. At the same time, he kept trying to use the Ice Marrow.
"Die!" The man in black's aura kept rising. It was not easy for him to force Lin Yue out. He would never miss this opportunity again.
For a moment, the punches of the fists were heavy. Lin Yue was completely wrapped up in them. The punches of the fists hurt his face.
Lin Yue was completely covered in the attack range. If he was not careful, his short sword would be sent flying. This way, he would be at an absolute disadvantage.
"What a beautiful movement technique. Hand over this cultivation technique, and I might spare your life!" The man in black did not expect Lin Yue to be able to hold on for so long under his hands. He was very interested in his movement technique.
"Oh, sorry, I burned the cultivation technique. If you can let me go, I can write a copy for you." Lin Yue said slowly.
"Okay, but I will break your legs first and then let you write slowly." The man in black's Qi rose once again. He thought that this would be a simple assassination mission, but he didn't expect to see such a brilliant movement technique.
If he could obtain this movement technique, it wouldn't be important whether he could kill Lin Yue or not.
The speed of the man in black increased. Compared to Lin Yue, it was almost the same.
"Rushing Thunder Fist, Thunder Fist Heavenly Might!" The man in black's fist carried the sound of wind as it smashed down from above.
Lin Yue could no longer run. A fierce look flashed across his eyes. Instead of retreating, he moved forward and threw his fist forward to meet the attack.
"You are courting death!" The man in black was delighted. When he saw Lin Yue's final counterattack, the corners of his mouth curled up.
Bang!
When the two fists collided, the man in black did not move at all. Lin Yue's body was sent flying. He crashed heavily into the wall and fell down.
His entire fist bone had been completely shattered, and the piercing pain almost made him faint.
He had been nourished by the moonlight for more than a year, and his body was far stronger than those of the same realm. However, the man in black's full strength attack still caused quite a bit of damage to him.
The black-clothed man still did not make any movements. He just stood there like a statue.
Lin Yue gritted his teeth and forced himself to stand up. He took out a fire piston from his pocket. After blowing it on, he lit a candle.
With the help of the candle's light, he saw the man in black standing three steps away with his eyes wide open.
On his neck, there was a small wound, and blood kept flowing out.
"You..." The man in black's eyes were filled with shock. His throat moved, and blood started flowing even faster.
He didn't understand. Lin Yue clearly didn't have any sharp weapon in his hand, so how could it cut his throat?
Lin Yue raised his left hand and waved it with a smile. There was something on it that was fused with ice water.
When he swung his fist, an ice blade that was three inches long condensed on the bone of his left fist. The moment his right fist collided with the black-clothed man, the ice blade cut open the black-clothed man's neck.
His utilization of the power of ice marrow was still very rusty. After succeeding, the ice blade also began to melt.
The black-clothed man still did not understand. It was just that this was no longer important to him. He only hated himself for being too greedy.
He chose to clash with Lin Yue's fist instead of hitting Lin Yue's heart. He was afraid that he would not be able to obtain the exquisite movement technique if he was beaten to death.
However, it was too late for regrets. He felt the power of his life slipping away rapidly. This feeling made him feel even more despair.
With a bang, the man in black fell heavily to the ground. There was no breath at all.
Lin Yue wiped away the ice water on his left hand and searched the man in black for a moment, but found nothing.
Lin Yue frowned. This person knew how to set up formations, so there should be books on setting up formations.
"Damn it, there really isn't anything." Lin Yue searched again and again before finally giving up. He sighed, and when he was thinking about how to deal with this corpse, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a ring on his finger.
"This is a Storage Ring. It's a storage space inside, idiot!" The Moon-devouring Dog's voice rang out, "The original owner of this ring is dead. Divine sense has dissipated. You can inject your divine sense into it and the ring will belong to you."
Lin Yue was delighted. He had never imagined that there would be such a good thing. He followed the Moon-devouring Dog's instructions and opened the Storage Ring.
Inside were two yellowed books, as well as a pile of gold, silver, treasures, and many other miscellaneous items.
Lin Yue took out the book. One was the Rushing Thunder Fist, and the other was the 36 basic formations.
"I'm rich now, haha." Lin Yue opened his mouth and laughed, but it affected his injuries. He took a deep breath in pain.
Putting the Storage Ring close to his body, Lin Yue felt pain and tiredness surging. At this time, he no longer had the strength to deal with the corpse of the man in black.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yue fiercely smashed a large porcelain pot in the room. Then, he blew out the candle and cleaned up Torchtear. Only then did he lie on the ground and close his eyes.
Since the black-clothed man was dead, the formation that was set up naturally disappeared. The sound of the porcelain pot splitting apart was exceptionally ear-piercing in the quiet night.
Three breaths later, streams of Human Shadow flew towards Lin Yue.
Qin Zheng was at the seventh level of the Pulse Opening, so his speed was naturally very fast. He was the first to arrive in Lin Yue's courtyard.
Everyone raised their torches. The entire courtyard was as bright as day.
"Lin Yue!" Qin Zheng saw Lin Yue lying on the ground with his right fist badly mutilated. He hurriedly ran over and picked him up.
"Quickly go and invite Godly Doctor Hua!" Qin Zheng felt Lin Yue's heart still beating, so he let out a sigh of relief.
An hour later, a young woman in white came under the lead of a guard.
"Who are you?" Qin Zheng frowned.
"I am Hwa Zhuyin, and Hua Bultuo is my master." The girl curled her lips, "My master didn't want to come in the middle of the night, so he let me come."
"You? Can you do it?" When Qin Zheng saw that the girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he was very skeptical about her medical skills.
One should know that the Godly Doctor Hua Butuo only became famous after he was forty years old.
"We'll only know if it's possible or not after trying it out. Get out of the way." Hwa Zhuyin came to Qin Zheng's side, looked at his right hand, and took his pulse. She blinked her eyes.
"The bones in my right hand have been completely shattered and I have suffered internal injuries. Don't worry. I won't die. I just need to rest in peace." Hwa Zhuyin yawned and took out a pen and paper to write a few lines. "Take the medicine according to the instructions. I will go back first."
"Wait!" Qin Zheng was very dissatisfied with Hwa Zhuyin. She did not even greet him when she saw him. She was really rude.
Now that she saw Lin Yue was going back, she was too busy dealing with things.
"You cannot leave before he wakes up."
"Why? I don't have this obligation." Hwa Zhuyin protested, "Unless you pay my commission."
Qin Zheng was amused by her. "How much do you want?"
"I see you are the second young master of Qin Family. I will charge you the cost price. Five taels of silver per day. We will count the day tonight. The next day will be the next day."
... ""
Everyone was speechless. Many of them only paid five taels of silver per year.
"Alright, I'll leave it to you then. If anything happens, you won't get a single cent. You still have to be careful of your head!" Qin Zheng was afraid that this girl wouldn't care, so he gave her some pressure.
"Don't worry, but this place isn't suitable for recuperation. Look, there is still a corpse. This is too unlucky. Hurry up and change to a better place." Hwa Zhuyin was delighted in her heart. Looking at Lin Yue's injuries, it would take him at least half a month to wake up. She would be able to earn a huge sum of money.
Qin Zheng quickly arranged a new courtyard for Lin Yue. It was bigger and had a better environment than before.
After making arrangements for Lin Yue, Qin Zheng went to deal with the matter of the men in black.
At this time, his subordinates also found the corpses of two guards. Both of them were killed in one strike.
"He was able to kill two men with ease. This man's cultivation base is at least at the fifth level of the Pulse Opening, but why did he die here while Lin Yue wasn't killed?" Qin Zheng looked at the corpse of the man in black and fell into deep thought.
"Could it be that Lin Yue knows martial arts and his cultivation base isn't weak?" When Qin Zheng thought of this, he felt a chill run down his spine.
If that was the case, then Lin Yue was too scary.
But very quickly, he shook his head and rejected this idea.
When Lin Yue followed him, he had investigated Lin Yue's background. According to him, Lin Yue did not know martial arts.
If he had started cultivating after following him, he would not have been able to kill the man in black in such a short period of time.
"Could it be that some expert is secretly protecting Lin Yue?" Qin Zheng frowned, "But Lin Yue was a servant before. How could he know such an expert? This is really strange."
Qin Zheng could not figure it out, so he asked someone to hide the corpse of the man in black and send people to investigate the identity of the man in black.
He used his thumb to think about this matter. It was also Qin Gaang who sent people to do this.
However, he needed evidence to report to Royal Father.
Hwa Zhuyin cleaned up the flesh on Lin Yue's right hand, applied some ointment, and wrapped it up with gauze.
"It was too much in the middle of the night, but on account of Silver, I can only make myself feel wronged. I hope you wake up later so that I can earn more money. " Hwa Zhuyin yawned a few more times after she finished speaking and quickly fell asleep on the big chair.
After an hour, Lin Yue quietly opened his eyes. When he saw the woman opposite him, he was stunned.
"Such a pure and cute girl, she can't be associated with the word greedy as her life. " Lin Yue smiled, then fell asleep.
After an unknown period of time, Lin Yue woke up in a big hall.
