"What a fierce kid. Even the Hell Hornets can't do anything to him!"
Ji Lu squinted at the battle in the distance and chuckled.
"Judging by skills, he's at least a Black-rank disciple from the Nine Yang Academy. I thought that all the people who came were Yellow-rank disciples from the three academies. I didn't expect there to be a surprise!"
Wan Zhaokun glanced at him and said indifferently.
"That kid isn't weak. He also has three Long Breath Stage disciples with him. Even if the two of us join forces, it will still take some effort to take him down. We've already captured enough people tonight. It's better not to complicate matters. Let's leave quickly. The reinforcements from the Martial Enforcement Hall should be arriving soon."
"Wan, why are you always so timid? The two of us haven't done anything recently. We've been on standby for nearly a month. Now that the Martial Enforcement Hall has finally taken action, and we've come so far, we can't leave with just a few captives."
"What else do you want?"
"How can a few pill ingredients be enough? This kid's cultivation is already so profound at such a young age, so he must be full of spirituality. If he's captured and refined into pills, I'm quite confident that he can turn into a few second-grade Blood Spirit Pills. Don't you want them?"
Wan Zhaokun's eyes flashed. He was obviously tempted.
Ji Lu saw this and chuckled.
"If you find it troublesome, help me hold the line and stop the three girls. Let me deal with that kid personally. How about that?"
Wan Chaokun's eyes flickered for a moment. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation of the second-grade Blood Spirit Pills and gritted his teeth.
"Alright, but you have to end the battle quickly. I don't want to bump into the reinforcements of the Martial Hall later!"
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing!"
Seeing that his companion had agreed, Ji Lu was delighted. When he turned to look at Lin Shen in the distance, his eyes glowed with greed, and he looked like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.
Phew!
The sharp and short swooshing noise echoed in the sky above the forest.
Although Lin Shen's Supreme Yang Swordplay was only at Beginner, with the enhancement of his cultivation level and the Six Yang Talisman Sword, its power was still unparalleled.
The indestructible scorching energy pierced out from the tip of the sword one after another, turning into blazing waves of fire that exploded in all directions, burning Hell Hornet into charred corpses one after another. They fell to the ground like dumplings falling into the water.
The air around Lin Shen felt like boiling water!
In the end, even Zhao Xueying and the other two couldn't help but pull away. They retreated more than ten meters before they could withstand the heat wave.
Yu Shuying and Zuo Manman looked at Lin Shen in shock.
If they didn't know that Lin Shen was a new student of the Nine Yang Academy this year, they would have thought that he was a senior student who had cultivated for two to three years.
His capability was incredible!
Zhao Xueying was even more shocked.
The strength that Lin Shen displayed at this moment was undoubtedly several times stronger than a month ago!
In just a month, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds again!
Zhao Xueying's mind was in turmoil. For a moment, she didn't know how to express her shock.
Swoosh!
The cold sword light pierced through a Hell Hornet's head like a bolt of lightning, and the flames on the blade burned it to ashes!
Lin Shen suddenly felt his mind tremble slightly. A large amount of understanding of the Supreme Yang Swordplay instantly emerged.
He was overjoyed.
This was already the second time since the battle that the Testify by Killing talent effect had been triggered!
The Hell Hornet was only a late-phase Spirit Awakening Stage spiritual beast, the probability of triggering the effect of Testify by Killing after killing it was only about 0.1%.
However, as long as there were enough of them, the probability was still considerable.
Triggering the effect twice increased Lin Shen's cultivation progress by 9%.
"There are still dozens of Hell Hornets. If I'm lucky, I might be able to trigger another one!"
Lin Shen's spirits were lifted. He raised his sword and bravely charged at the swarm of insects.
There was nothing more exciting than improving one's strength!
But at this moment, a warning suddenly surged in the depths of Lin Shen's mind. In the next second, there was a sudden sound of something flying toward him from behind.
At the critical moment, Lin Shen didn't hesitate to switch to Perseverance and activate the Protection Talisman on his chest.
The moment he was done, a sharp force hit his back heavily!
Swoosh!
The Protection Talisman on Lin Shen's chest suddenly lit up with a red light and quickly turned into ashes and dissipated.
After being blocked by the Protection Talisman, a portion of the fierce energy was instantly negated.
Immediately after, a dark golden light flashed behind Lin Shen. He activated the Forbidden Golden Armor and blocked the sharp force. At the same time, Lin Shen used the force of this attack to fly forward.
The attacker wanted to go after Lin Shen, but Shen pointed back without looking back. A wisp of fierce energy shot out and headed straight for the attacker's face.
The attacker had no choice but to dodge.
With a sizzling sound, the streak of energy hit the tree and instantly pierced through the thick trunk, leaving a hole.
Ji Lu's pupils constricted slightly.
"Essence Sword Finger. Heh, you know quite a lot of martial arts techniques. Good. I'm getting more and more interested in you!"
Lin Shen had already caught his breath and was looking at the person coldly.
If not for his quick reaction, he would have been severely injured even with the Forbidden Golden Armor and Bind Yang Gown.
Seeing Lin Shen's cold gaze, Ji Lu narrowed his eyes. Just as he was about to mock Lin Shen, he suddenly recalled his companion's instructions and could only suppress this thought. He spat and swung his saber at Lin Shen.
Lin Shen's eyes turned cold as he charged forward fearlessly..
