Chapter 637: Will My Forbidden Technique Miss?

In an instant, three Ye Lins appeared on the field.

If the rules of the Longevity Continent didn't forbid it, he could probably have synthesized a two-star Ye Lin directly.

Seeing this scene, the Second Imperial Prince rolled his eyes back and nearly fainted on the spot.

He could tell now that Ye Lin truly intended to torment him to death.

"If you want me dead, don't think you'll have it easy either!"

The Second Imperial Prince roared in anger, immediately preparing to fight Ye Lin to the death.

The Second Imperial Prince had long been a powerful cultivator at the mid-stage of Profound Connection, and as he unleashed his full strength, the surrounding power of heaven and earth began to faintly boil.

His scarlet eyes were filled with nothing but killing intent toward Ye Lin.

He had already seen that Ye Lin's cultivation realm was only at the late-stage of Spirit Gathering; at such close range, he had absolute confidence in slaying Ye Lin on the spot.

"Go to hell!"

"Thousand-Jun Demon Slaughter!"

A large saber appeared in the Second Imperial Prince's hand—it was clearly a spiritual weapon—and he slashed it directly down at Ye Lin's head!

A terrifying blade aura soared into the sky, as if it could split everything in front of it in two.

"Forbidden Spell: Wall of Sighs!"

A tall city wall rose from the ground, the black wall shimmering with a metallic luster.

"A divine ability that directly alters the world? How could a Spirit Gathering realm cultivator possess such a divine ability? Could it be a forbidden technique?" Nangong Jing narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in their depths.

Clang!

The Second Imperial Prince's saber struck the Wall of Sighs, but it only left a shallow white mark on it.

"What?!"

"Forbidden Spell: World-Extinguishing Wild Thunder!"

A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm struck the Second Imperial Prince's chest, blasting him away instantly.

Ye Lin still had use for this Second Imperial Prince, so he did not deliver a lethal blow.

The Second Imperial Prince's face turned deathly pale, and blood spilled incessantly from his mouth, making him look incredibly wretched.

"Sigh, Second Brother, your cultivation is really going backward. As a Profound Connection cultivator, you actually lost to a Spirit Gathering realm cultivator in just two moves."

Seeing the Second Imperial Prince's wretched state, the First Imperial Prince couldn't help but tease him with a smile.

"That's because he used a forbidden technique!" The Second Imperial Prince couldn't help but argue in his own defense.

"Then you could have used one too. If you, a Profound Connection cultivator, used a forbidden technique, the power would be even greater; wouldn't you have killed him easily?" the First Imperial Prince sneered.

Upon hearing this, the Second Imperial Prince was stunned for a moment, then struggled to climb up with his heavily injured body, staring wide-eyed at the First Imperial Prince.

Ye Lin's previous barrage of words seemed to have cleared the Second Imperial Prince's meridians; as soon as he opened his mouth, he unleashed a series of questions.

"Why don't you say your forbidden technique is powerful and kills easily, and that he's just stupid?"

"Then let me ask you, my forbidden technique is powerful, but will my forbidden technique miss? Will it miss?"

"Is my forbidden technique auto-aiming? Do you know how much of a toll my forbidden technique takes on the body?"

"Answer me!"

"Will my forbidden technique miss! Huh? Answer me! You dogs who say forbidden techniques are overpowered, answer me!"

"Look in my eyes! Tell me why? Why baby why?"

"Huh? Will my forbidden technique miss? Is my forbidden technique instant-cast? Does my forbidden technique only deal damage if it hits someone? Do you think every forbidden technique I use has a one-hundred-percent hit rate?"

"Speak!"

"You talk about forbidden techniques being powerful, so let me ask you again: does a forbidden technique have no cost to the body? Other divine abilities can be thrown out casually, but can you survive throwing forbidden techniques around?"

"Oh, you can, can you? You think you can throw forbidden techniques around? Look at Ye Lin using forbidden techniques like basic attacks—that's just you being a f***ing idiot!"

Since he had already lost any chance at the throne, the Second Imperial Prince simply gave up on decorum and began greeting the First Imperial Prince's mother.

In any case, he and the First Imperial Prince didn't share the same mother; they were just half-brothers, so it didn't matter.

Seeing this, the First Imperial Prince's expression turned somewhat ugly.

"Someone, the Second Imperial Prince has gone insane, drag him away!"

The heavily injured Second Imperial Prince had no power to resist and was immediately dragged to the side, after which the First Imperial Prince strode toward Ye Lin and his group.

"Ye Lin, we meet again."

The First Imperial Prince wore a sunny smile and extended his hand toward Ye Lin.

"Cut the nonsense, aren't you guys annoying? My request is simple: I want Lingquan County. Give me a straight answer, yes or no?" Ye Lin waved his hand impatiently.

The First Imperial Prince's smile froze on his face, and then he let out two awkward laughs.

"Give it? Of course I can give it, but it can't be given directly; it must be given flexibly."

"Ye Lin, you must know that under the vast heaven, all land belongs to the King, and all who dwell on the land are the King's subjects."

"Lingquan County belongs to the Nuhai Dynasty; this is equivalent to enfeoffing a piece of land to you, making you a king of your own territory."

"Therefore, you can have Lingquan County, but you must hand over thirty percent of the profits from your Yihong Zoo as tax to the Nuhai Dynasty's national treasury. How about that?"

The proposal put forward by the First Imperial Prince was, in principle, already quite good, as it essentially handed the entire management of Lingquan County over to Ye Lin.

After expanding the scale, even with thirty percent of the profits handed over, the Yihong Zoo would still be far more lucrative than before.

But, the principle was now standing right behind Ye Lin.

What kind of person was Ye Lin? He would snatch half a bucket of manure from a night-soil collector passing by.

Now that he had the advantage of time, place, and people, how could he possibly be willing to let go of the meat already in his mouth?

"Thirty percent? Why don't you just go rob someone? Does my Yihong Zoo earn Immortal Source Stones? That's all hard-earned money from my Fox Clan brothers and sisters!" Ye Lin questioned, heartbroken.

The First Imperial Prince wanted to attack directly, but remembering the Second Imperial Prince's miserable state, he suppressed his anger and retorted.

"Then what do you propose?"

"Give me Lingquan County, let me distribute the Yihong Zoo's profits myself, and then give me two hundred top-grade Immortal Source Stones. Oh, and you six Imperial Princes will have to come and help me promote the grand opening for free."

After Ye Lin finished speaking, the entire scene fell into a dead silence.

Everyone looked at Ye Lin as if they were looking at a lunatic.

Was this a condition a human could propose?

The First Imperial Prince even suspected he was having auditory hallucinations.

"Say that again?"

"Do you really think my Nuhai Dynasty is afraid of you?"

The First Imperial Prince could no longer endure it and glared at Ye Lin.

Even Nangong Jing, who had been observing from behind, had his gaze turn cold.

This Ye Lin was far too ungrateful!

"Not afraid of me, are you? Then why don't you attack?" Ye Lin sneered.

"Preposterous! Nuhai Army, hear my order: seize Ye Lin and his group. If they resist, kill them on the spot!" the First Imperial Prince ordered immediately.

The Nuhai Army did not hesitate, immediately drawing their weapons and preparing to strike.

"Finally, you took the bait!"

Ye Lin smoothed his hair; this was the moment he had been waiting for!

Without a word, Ye Lin jumped up and slapped the First Imperial Prince across the face.

"You damned beast, how dare you order an attack on an inner sect disciple of the Immortal Cloud Sect? What crime do you have to answer for?"
