Shi Yan can't hold it any longer.
His opponents were two Six-Star Fiends. One was good at strength and the other was good at speed. The two of them cooperated tacitly, attacking from the front with power, and harassing from the side with speed. Shi Yan could only parry but had no ability to fight back.
He is good at defense, and Black Tortoise Branch's talent is to be able to carry it. But no matter how good he is, he can't withstand two sieges of the same level. There are already three wounds on his body, the deepest one stretches from the left shoulder to the right rib, and blood stains half of his body.
"Back!"
The voice of Lin Qin rang in his ears.
Without even thinking about it, Shi Yan immediately activated the bloodline of Black Tortoise. A thick layer of tortoise-shell phantom enveloped his whole body. He resisted a punch from the front and used the opportunity to roll backwards.
At the same time, Lin Qin arrived.
His target was the speed-type Six-Star Fiend. This person had just finished harassing him from the side and was about to retreat and look for another opportunity when he suddenly felt the space around him condense - Dragon Roar Domain covered him, and his speed dropped by 30%.
"Not good!" His expression changed drastically, and he desperately used his divine power to accelerate. But Lin Qin's knife had already arrived.
The sword is as bright as snow and goes straight to the back of the heart.
The man roared, turned around and punched out with a roaring wind, carrying violent divine power. He was good at speed and his attack power was not weak - this punch was enough to seriously injure an ordinary Six-Star Fiend.
But Lin Qin didn't hide.
The power of his sword remained unchanged, but a layer of khaki light suddenly lit up on the blade. That was the power of Laws of the Earth - the fusion of Pulsation mystery and Mysteries of Power. With one strike, the power contained in it was enough to crack mountains and crack rocks.
The intersection of swords and fists.
"Boom!"
The man screamed, and his entire right arm exploded into blood mist. No matter how strong he was, it couldn't be stronger than Lin Qin's tempered body plus two kinds of Profound Mystery Fusion's swords.
The sword kept flashing and slashed across his neck.
The third Godhead.
The remaining power demon turned pale and turned around to run away without hesitation. He was not fast, but he inspired Sovereign’s Might, and his whole body turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Lin Qin did not pursue. With Sovereign’s Might's blessing, the opponent's speed was not slower than his, and he could not catch up. He sheathed his sword and turned to look at other battle circles.
Azure Luan's side was over. Her opponent was a female Six-Star Fiend. The two fought for half a stick of incense and were evenly matched. But when the female demon saw Lin Qin killing three people in a row, her face changed and she made a feint, which also inspired Sovereign’s Might to escape.
Azure Luan did not chase, but just stood there and gasped. She looked at Lin Qin, with shock in her eyes - she had watched the whole battle just now, killing three people with three swords, as cleanly as killing a chicken.
Gale and Mystic Weight were also over. Seeing that the situation was not good, their opponents had already inspired Sovereign’s Might to escape. Only Gru and another Seven-Star Fiend were left, still fighting with Tyron.
Gru's face was ashen.
He did not expect that the carefully selected lineup would be killed like this by a mid-level god. Three Six-Star Fiend lost their lives in three breaths - this was no longer a battle, but a massacre.
"Let's go!"
He roared angrily, forced Tyron back with a palm, grabbed the companion beside him, also inspired Sovereign’s Might, and flew away into the distance. Two drops of Sovereign’s Might burned, and disappeared into the sky between two streams of light.
Tyron did not chase. He stood there, breathing heavily. There were a few wounds on his body, but they were not deep.
He looked at Lin Qin with complicated eyes. He had seen the battle just now, killing three people with three swords. This combat power was beyond his understanding of the "Middle God".
"Are you okay?" Lin Qin came over and asked.
Tyron shook his head. "It's okay. What about you?"
Lin Qin shook his head.
Shi Yan walked over, his face a little pale. The three wounds on his body were still bleeding, but they had begun to heal. He looked at Lin Qin and said seriously, "I owe you a life."
Lin Qin shook his head. "As a family, we don't talk about this."
Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, then grinned. He patted Lin Qin on the shoulder and said nothing more.
Tyron looked around and said in a deep voice, "Pack up and prepare to go back. It's not safe here - although they have retreated, they may call for someone to come."
Everyone nodded and quickly cleaned the battlefield. Three Six-Star Fiend, Godhead, three High-God Artifact, and some scattered treasures were collected into Space Ring. According to the regulations, whoever kills gets one. Lin Qin was not polite and collected the three Godhead and three artifacts.
"Let's go." Tyron waved his hand, and the seven people turned around and rushed towards the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range.
On the way back, the atmosphere in the team obviously changed.
Azure Luan peeked at Lin Qin from time to time, but hesitated to speak.
Tyron walked in front and remained silent. It was not until he was about to enter the range of the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range that he spoke:
:"Lin Qin, I will report what happened today truthfully. Those three demons you killed, Contribution Points will be blamed on you."
Lin Qin nodded.
"Would you like to go on patrol next time?" Tyron asked.
"Okay."
A smile finally appeared on Tyron's face. He looked at Lin Qin and said seriously, "With you here, I feel at ease."
When we returned to the camp, it was almost dusk.
Several other patrol teams have not returned yet. Lin Qin, Tyron and others said goodbye and returned to their stone houses alone. The house was not big, with only a stone bed and a futon, and it couldn't be simpler.
He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
The battle consumes little, but you still need to return to your peak condition. In Blood War Valley, you may receive new tasks at any time, and you must always maintain your best condition.
Three hours later, he opened his eyes.
It was completely dark outside the window. A few beast roars occasionally came from the distance, but they were quickly blown away by the wind. Lin Qin stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range in the distance.
Under the moonlight, the mountains undulate, like a dormant giant beast. There are lights flickering in the mountains, which are the settlements of the tribe. The lights of Azure Rock Valley are at the far east, and from a distance, they look like a lone star.
He suddenly remembered Yulan Continent.
I think of the thatched house of Wushan Town, the days of practicing with my father when I was a child, and the excitement when I first awakened the bloodline of Dragonblood Warrior.
One thousand two hundred years have passed, and he has gone from the Saint Realm to the middle god, from the Yulan Continent to Hell, from an unknown descendant of a branch to a family elder.
Heaven Rewards Diligence. He believed in this sentence just like he believed in the knife in his hand.
Outside the window, the moonlight was shining. Lin Qin withdrew his gaze, sat back on the futon, closed his eyes, and began to practice.
Early the next morning, the news spread.
Lin Qin's first battle, three kills - one. This record was like a gust of wind, quickly spreading throughout the entire Blood War Valley camp. Those veterans who had been fighting in Blood War Valley all year round fell silent after hearing this.
Three kills and zero injuries. The first patrol, the first encounter, I killed a Seven-Star Fiend, and I was unscathed. This can no longer be described as "awesome".
"I heard, one knife at a time, clean and neat." A veteran of the White Tiger branch said to his companion, "That kid is a ruthless person."
When the news reached Council of Elders, Garvey was discussing matters with Morris. After hearing the report, Garvey nodded slightly and didn't say much. But in private, he said to Morris, "This kid is more stable than I thought."
Morris smiled and said, "It is better to be stable. Those who are unstable will not survive three years in Blood War Valley."
Garvey nodded and asked, "How about the other teams?"
Morris's face darkened. "It's not good. The seventh team went out, and the third team lost members. One team was completely wiped out, and no one came back."
Garvey was silent for a moment and sighed, "This is Blood War Valley. It has been like this for ten thousand years."
Morris didn't say anything. He knew what Garvey was thinking - every fallen clan member was the backbone of the family. If this consumption continues, Four Divine Beast Clan will be brought down sooner or later. But what can be done? If we don't go out to fight, Eight Great Clans will press forward step by step; if we go out to fight, people will die. This is a dead situation with no solution.
"Lin Qin, keep an eye on him." Garvey suddenly said, "He has great potential, don't let him get lost in Blood War Valley"
Morris nodded. "I know."
Lin Qin doesn't know this. He only knows that there will be another patrol in three days.
Three days were enough for him to return to his peak state. Three days were enough for him to digest today's battle. He still wielded the knife a hundred thousand times a day, still practiced for six hours a day, and still only slept for two hours a day. His life was the same as it was in the Heaven Sacrifice Mountain Range, as ordinary as water.
He needs to be stronger. So strong that no matter how the opponent cooperates or what cards the opponent has, he can kill him with one strike.
It's so strong that the enemy can't even think of escaping.
This is the goal he pursues and the meaning of his efforts.
In the early morning of the fourth day, Tyron found him. "The list for the next patrol is down. Our team remains unchanged and will set off in three days."
Lin Qin nodded.
"This time the route has been changed." Tyron handed him a jade slip, "Go west, cross the edge of Death Desert, and turn back to the abandoned mine. I heard that there has been some instability there recently, and Eight Great Clans people are active."
Lin Qin took the jade slip and penetrated with his spiritual consciousness. The new route is indeed different from the last time. It has to pass through a desert area. The terrain is more complex and it is easier to ambush.
"Is there anyone new?" he asked.
"Yes." Tyron said, "Three newcomers, they just broke through Six-Star not long ago, and they are here for the first time Blood War Valley. Then you should take more care of them."
Lin Qin nodded. He knew what Tyron meant. A newcomer is most likely to die in Blood War Valley and needs an experienced person to lead him. And although he has only been here once, he has already proven his strength and judgment.
"There is one more thing." Tyron lowered his voice, "There is news from above that Eight Great Clans may be targeting you. Of the three people you killed, two belonged to the Barbary Clan and one belonged to the Deen Clan. The one Deen Clan was also Hogan's distant nephew."
Hogan.
Lin Qin remembered this name. Last time Gaiseresen mentioned that he was good at soul attacks. He once vowed to kill him within three years after the bloody battle of Rock Fortress. Now that three years have passed and he is still alive, one can imagine how Hogan feels.
"I understand." Lin Qin said.
Tyron looked at him, hesitated to speak, and finally just patted his shoulder. "Be careful.
Lin Qin nodded.
