Wind Fire Wheels, Won Over
The sword light paused, and the originally condensed Sword Qi immediately became scattered.
But this was only for a moment. The sword cultivator's soul was more stable than expected. In the next instant, the sword light re-condensed and transformed into a silver-white ribbon, tearing through the aftershocks of the Soul Shock Blast and heading straight for Evil Eye Captain!
But at that moment, Evil Eye Captain locked onto the target first.
The next instant, a Mind Shock Blast exploded in mid-air.
"Boom~"
The silvery-white ribbon suddenly froze, the space hissed, faintly carrying the sound of thunder, and the condensed sword light scattered, almost shattering.
The swordsman felt a sweet taste in his throat, but he forcefully suppressed the urge to bleed. His sword aura suddenly shifted, and the silver-white streak shattered into countless starlight, surging upwards like a reversed Milky Way!
Lin Xu's gaze turned solemn. With a thought, a long serpent of flame suddenly raised its head and charged towards the reversed starlight!
The fiery serpent and the Sword Qi collided with a deafening roar, unleashing a blinding white light, and the shockwave surged like boiling water.
In the next instant, seven or eight Mind Shock Blast slammed into the center of the white light in succession. The violent Mind Blast exploded out in ripples, tearing the white light into countless fragments, reflecting her blood-stained profile.
The sword cultivator could no longer maintain his sword escape technique and fell from the sky.
Lin Xu activated his Spirit Eye Technique and immediately saw that her sword intent was scattered, clearly injured by the Mind Blast, and she couldn't even control the raging sword energy.
The scattered Sword Qi re-condensed in mid-air, and the sword cultivator stabilized his stance, but the originally brilliant sword light dimmed slightly.
A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her lips, but her gaze remained sharp as a blade, and the dim sword light became even more restrained and sharp, as if she wanted to suppress all the scattered sword intent into an inch of sword heart.
But in the next instant, three Soul Shock Blast in succession, engulfing the sword cultivator once again.
Lin Xu stopped his spell and looked toward the center of the mental storm.
After practicing the "Lamp Kindling Spirit Transformation Chapter," the Evil Eye's demonic power was transformed into Lamp Kindling Magic Power, increasing the power of their spells while shortening the intervals between casts.
At this moment, with the enemy outnumbered, and with the aftershocks of the previous spells still lingering, a new spell struck like thunder!
A moment later, the sword cultivator endured more than a dozen Soul Shock Blast in succession, and his Sword Qi could no longer be maintained, collapsing instantly.
She plummeted from mid-air like a bird with broken wings.
With the added bonus of the Elite Template, even falling from a height of tens of meters, the sword cultivator was only seriously injured. The short but intense battle only stopped when Lin Xu sealed his meridians with magic.
"Let's go back to the Daoist temple!" Overjoyed at capturing the elite swordsman, Lin Xu led the team back immediately.
This expedition yielded a Tiger Yao Lair, and combined with the black market, the spoils have exceeded all expectations.
Upon returning to the Incense Offering Hall, Lin Xu immediately persuaded the prisoners to surrender.
He looked at Jiang Hanyan, whose face was pale and whose expression was indifferent. "Do you want to become a world-class sword immortal? To fly on your sword and let your Sword Qi soar into the sky?!"
Jiang Hanyan glanced at him indifferently, her attitude cold and she remained silent.
"This is a tough nut to crack," Lin Xu frowned.
As long as there is communication, he can understand the other person's thoughts and act accordingly. Someone like her, who has no interest in communicating, is hard to be tempted.
"We must first break her apathetic state of mind—" He rubbed his temples, immediately abandoning the idea of torture.
This swordsman has both potential and strength; he'll become my right-hand man in the future. You can't force a relationship.
After thinking for a moment, he put Jiang Hanyan aside for the time being and turned to look at the other captured prisoner.
"Liu Mochen, you were once an inner disciple of the Xuanwei Monastery, but you betrayed the sect and ran away. Now I'm giving you a chance to join my sect and return to the temple. Are you willing?"
Lin Xu glanced at him and saw that the abandoned disciple in front of him was wearing a gray, attribute-less Daoist robe and had few magical artifacts in his hands, which showed the poverty of Rogue Cultivator.
"Thank you, Palace Master. This disciple is willing." Liu Mochen immediately bowed and paid his respects.
Lin Xu nodded in satisfaction. "Release your consciousness, do not resist!"
In the blink of an eye, a spark of inspiration appeared, and the Dharma Seed condensed and took shape.
This Dharma Seed quietly entered Liu Mochen's sea of consciousness and took root.
His magical power surged and slowly changed until the original golden magical power showed a hint of translucent glass color.
After inheriting the Dark Gold-level cultivation technique, Liu Mochen's loyalty level quietly increased to 85 points.
"Tell me about the spells you've learned," Lin Xu instructed.
"Yes, Dao Master." Liu Mochen bowed respectfully and recited the Flowing Fire Chasing Wind Spell he had learned.
Jiang Hanyan to the side, her expression indifferent, observing coldly.
Her calm expression was shattered when Lin Xu, after listening to her, conjured a vortex of fire with the power of wind and fire.
This dual-attribute spell is clearly a high-level spell with immense power, but it is obscure and difficult to understand, and cultivators often need to spend a lot of time learning it.
However, Lin Xu mastered the spell in a short time, and as he continued to circulate the spell, he even manipulated the wind and fire spell to transform into a graceful and magnificent phoenix, which danced gracefully in the hall.
Jiang Hanyan looked surprised, but then she saw that the wind and fire magic moved at her will, quietly transforming into Wind Fire Wheels. Lin Xu stepped upwards and actually rode on the wind and fire, instantly covering dozens or even hundreds of meters.
"This is even faster than the Cloud Soaring Technique." Lin Xu dispelled the spell and landed on the ground, a smile appearing on his face.
In the spell bar, a brand new spell named "Wind Fire Wheels" quietly appeared.
He turned to Jiang Hanyan with a smile, "How is my magic? I am not only proficient in magic, but also a lord of my own domain. Joining my sect will ensure you have no shortage of cultivation resources, which is far better than your life of hardship and scarcity."
Jiang Hanyan's expression was conflicted, as if she was hesitating.
"Your Cold Light Sword can only be considered mid-grade. The materials are good, but the forging technique is crude."
Lin Xu picked up the spirit sword, its cold light gleaming, but there was a hint of restlessness within its spiritual aura, clearly indicating the limited skill of the weapon refiner. "Afterwards, I will open the furnace and forge a sword, and I will surely be able to refine a superior flying sword, surpassing your years of arduous cultivation!"
"Disciple greets Dao Master!" Jiang Hanyan's beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately bowed in greeting.
"Alright!" Lin Xu laughed heartily, immediately dispelling the magical restrictions surrounding her and condensing Dharma Seed within her. "Release your spiritual sense and watch me assist you in your cultivation!"
The Dharma Seed enters the sea of consciousness, and the sword intent emanates a chilling power.
It seemed that the appearance of the Dharma Seed had triggered the sword intent, causing ripples in the sea of consciousness. Countless invisible sword intents materialized and spontaneously attacked the Dharma Seed.
Sword cultivators can break through all laws with a single sword strike, emphasizing the purity of sword intent. The appearance of a strange power like Dharma Seed is like cold water falling into a boiling oil pot, instantly igniting the space of consciousness.
Despite the onslaught of countless sword intents, the Dharma Seed subtly underwent a transformation, constantly shifting with the burgeoning sword intents and dodging wave after wave of impacts.
Lin Xu had entered a state of Thought Overclocking. In Jiang Hanyan's sea of consciousness, the "Heavenly Origin Sword Embryo Method" was disassembled into seal script, and then combined with the "Lamp Kindling Spirit Transformation Chapter" inherited in the Dharma Seed, which immediately transformed into a brand new technique that leaned towards sword cultivation.
"The Lamp Kindling Spirit Transformation Chapter a Divine Being: The Heavenly Origin Sword Embryo Method!"
The Dharma Seed changed accordingly, merging with the sword intent in the sea of consciousness. Quietly, the originally pure sword energy was coated with a faint dark golden luster.
