Counter-Killing Down the Mountain
"It seems things won't end well today!" Yuan Jian shook his head. Actually, he just wanted to find a quiet place to cultivate immortality in peace.
Logically speaking, shouldn't cultivators adhere to the two principles of "none of your business" and "none of my business," and then hide away in the deep mountains to cultivate? Why is there so much fighting, so much killing, and so many trivial matters?
"Sigh!" With a sigh, Yuan Jian threw the Jade Slip in his hand like a flying dagger at Lin Qing, who had taken two steps back.
"A mere trick!" Lin Qing dismissed it, even raising his hand to fling the immortal sword away.
Even if he wasn't a body-refining cultivator, his body, protected by the Immortal Power, was not something that Low-grade Heavenly Immortal Artifact activated by an earth immortal could break through.
His other hand didn't stop either; he tossed the immortal sword into the air, ready to begin its operation.
He's actually a Sword Immortal too!
The next second, Lin Qing was stunned and looked blankly at the hand that had blocked the jade sword.
The hand was no longer on his arm!
Moreover, the severed hand segment turned to ashes in an instant.
"What's going on!" Before Lin Qing could react, the jade sword transformed into a streak of green light and pierced directly into his severed wrist, climbing up along the Meridians!
Wherever the sword light touched, Lin Qing's arm began to turn to ashes. In just a moment, his entire arm was about to be gone!
Lin Qing finally realized what was happening and hurriedly activated his Immortal Power to resist, while simultaneously using the immortal artifacts within his body to block the attack.
But wherever that jade sword went, even a top-grade celestial artifact couldn't stop it!
Low-grade Heavenly Immortal Artifact can directly shatter a high-grade Celestial Artifact; is there no justice left?
Is there still a law?
Above the shoulders lies the head, and below are the internal organs.
The Jade Slip did not make a choice, but instead split into four, two upwards and two downwards. In an instant, Lin Qing's head and body were separated in two.
In the next instant, his entire head also disappeared!
"Phew!" Looking at Lin Qing, who had been completely reduced to ashes, Yuan Jian let out a long breath and quickly sat down cross-legged.
The concept-level Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is incredibly powerful, but its energy consumption is also extremely high.
The Immortal Power he had painstakingly refined over the past two months was completely wiped out, leaving him with an unprecedented emptiness that instantly filled his body. He couldn't help but quickly use his Divine Ability to devour and refine the immortal Immortal Qi.
Three-quarters of an hour later, Yuan Jian gradually calmed down.
The addition of a tiny bit of Immortal Power within him somewhat made up for the previous emptiness.
"Next, it's time to leave this place!" Although no one should know that he killed Lin Qing, and it's perfectly normal for an immortal to disappear for two months—it's just the time it takes to take a nap.
However, there might Qingyuan Martial Competition in two months. If Lin Qing cannot be found here, either the organizers of the tournament will come, or the cultivators in the Mountain Stronghold will discover the problem themselves.
Even if we don't get exposed, we won't be able to live a peaceful life anymore.
What we need to do now is leave here when no one is looking.
Only Lin Qing valued his existence, and now that Lin Qing is dead, no one should care about his fate.
"Tang Wan." A face flashed through Yuan Jian's mind, but Xuanji shook her head and immediately dismissed it.
He had no feelings for Tang Wan, although he could tell that Tang Wan was interested in him.
But so what? There are plenty of people who are interested in me. Am I supposed to accept them all?
"Farewell!"
"Etc!"
Yuan Jian felt that he couldn't just leave like that.
Lin Qing is dead, and I've disappeared. Doesn't that make me the murderer?
Kill a few more before you leave!
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at another courtyard.
The various formations and restrictions set up in this small courtyard were useless to him. His [Great Insight Technique] could see through his weaknesses, not to mention that he himself was a master of formations and restrictions. A master in the lower realm is still a master at the bottom level of the upper realm!
"Go!" The jade sword emitted a hazy gray light. This sword appeared to be in the shape of a sword, but in reality, it was an integrated formation.
What era are we living in? Of course, formations don't necessarily need to be spread out to be used.
The hazy, clear light emanating from the sword was the power of the [Immortal Slaying Sword Formation], a combination of the True Intention of slaying, trapping, slaughtering, and annihilating, further enhanced by a [keyword].
He could even kill Lin Qing, True Immortal Realm, so killing Earth Immortals and those who hadn't yet become immortals would be even easier.
As for whether he would feel guilty for killing someone when no one had provoked him?
Stop kidding me, where is this? It's Mountain Stronghold!
Could there be any good people among them?
Not to mention those who have become immortals, every single one of them has blood on their hands, has bullied men and women, and has plundered billions.
Since you've embarked on this path, don't blame others for killing you.
"Farewell, farewell, farewell."
As he walked along, he slaughtered all thirty-three Earth Immortals in the entire Mountain Stronghold.
Adding to the disappearance of Yuan Jian, to outsiders it appears that Lin Qing and the thirty-four Earth Immortals were killed.
When solving cases, they would no longer think of Yuan Jian, but rather whether it was done by Lin Qingqing's opponent, Yuan Huiwu.
"The name Yuan Jian can't be used anymore!" Yuan Jian shook his head, not seeming to care.
It's normal for cultivators to have many aliases and change their names from time to time.
Then let's change his name to Luo Yun!
If you're going to change your name, you should do it thoroughly. Some people want to change their name but are reluctant to finish the process, so they only change their first name and not their last name. As a result, they get recognized and then a lot of trouble ensues.
Why bother!
Luo Yun not only changed his name, but also his appearance, transforming from a calm and taciturn young man into a handsome young man with a cool and aloof demeanor and dazzling eyes!
The [Immortal Slaying Sword Formation] is powerful, but since it was used to kill someone, it should be used less often or not at all in the future.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Yun created another sword technique called: [Five-Colored Divine Light].
That's right, it's Kong Xuan's [Five-Colored Divine Light] that can sweep away and break through anything.
Yuan Jian fused the five elements of Sword Qi —metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—into one, and then combined it with a portion of the essence of the Northern Darkness Heaven Swallowing Scripture, thus creating a low-powered version of the Five-Colored Divine Light.
His version of [Five-Colored Divine Light] can truly transform invisible power to amplify Sword Qi!
After the Divine Ability is created, it is then incorporated into the vocabulary.
From then on, the [Five-Colored Divine Light] could transform into a sword formation to withstand the attacks of five experts of the same level, or break through the defenses of any cultivator of the same level.
While not as overpowered as "nothing can be cleared or broken," it can barely achieve the same effect when the target is five or fewer opponents of the same rank.
His swordsmanship is strong, but not because of any particular sword Divine Ability; rather, it's because of the conceptual term he uses.
With this entry, you can achieve the same effect, even if you use Cao Cao's Five-Colored Great Staff, let alone the Five-Colored Divine Light.
The Five-Colored Divine Light is not of low level; it is a supreme Divine Ability at the level of Supreme Dao Arts. However, it was created while Luo Yun was down the mountain.
By the time he reached the foot of the mountain, he had already begun using the [Five-Colored Divine Light] against his enemies!
However, the opponents below the mountain are nothing extraordinary, just some wild beasts. They can stop mortals, but not immortals.
This thing, once brushed away with the [Five-Colored Divine Light], was completely wiped clean and disappeared from this world.
Luo Yun descended the mountain and wasted no time, following a single direction. He didn't disturb villages or enter towns, and he avoided cultivators at a distance.
In just half a month, he walked a distance of 140,000 li (approximately 70,000 kilometers), comparable to a round trip by Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West.
We finally arrived at our destination.
