Chapter 152: The Power of Love is the Strongest

"What's the situation? Why did lightning appear from behind? I didn't see Shopkeeper Lin raise his hand?"

"It must be Shopkeeper Lin's trump card!"

"You can always trust Shopkeeper Lin; the trump cards of plot NPCs are endless."

"Palm Thunder is nothing to fear; what's terrifying is Shopkeeper Lin's 'Words Follow the Law.' With one sentence, 'Your lover is here,' Daoist Qingyu turned into a love-struck fool."

"That's a real bug, damn it!"

"Xianxia Lin Bai Zhuan"

"Is it actually possible for players to master 'Words Follow the Law'?"

"The Cultivation Method is right there. After entering the game, you can practice it yourself! Judging by Shopkeeper Lin's past performance, he practiced 'Words Follow the Law' earnestly; it wasn't just given to him out of thin air by the developers."

"Since he has 'Words Follow the Law,' why doesn't Shopkeeper Lin just make Daoist Qingyu defect instead of finding him a partner?"

"Either it's a limitation, or it's just his twisted sense of humor. You can't look at Shopkeeper Lin with a normal perspective..."

"Where's that guy who said he'd livestream himself doing a handstand while eating shit?"

Clearly holding the upper hand, yet because their Senior Brother suddenly went into heat and caused the death of two of their fellow disciples, the Daoists of Huilong Temple were suddenly overcome with grief and felt exceptionally stifled.

"Senior Brother, wake up!"

"Senior Brother, don't be so obsessed."

"As long as you wake up, we'll find you ten more when we get back! Huaxi Furen is nothing but a Puppet of Lin Bai!"

"Evil person, I will not stand under the same sky as you!"

All sorts of voices rang out over the forest. The Daoists all had reddened eyes, on the verge of a breakdown.

There was nothing more absurd than having one's own Senior Brother controlled by the enemy!

Moreover, Daoist Qingyu was the next prospective Temple Master of Huilong Temple, the one with the highest cultivation among their generation of disciples.

His cultivation was closing in on their master's.

A frontal assault wouldn't take him down in a short while!

Not to mention they were afraid of hitting the rat to save the vase; everyone was unwilling to hurt him...

Lin Bai's soul-chasing and life-taking "Mountain Before Has a Cui Thick Leg" rang out again.

The group of Daoists grew increasingly anxious and had to pin their hopes on the second strongest person present: "Senior Brother Qingshan, please think of a way!"

"I will hold off Senior Brother; you all must quickly kill Huaxi Furen, perhaps that will break the Soul Bewitching technique." Daoist Qingshan made a decisive choice. The Green Dragon Sword in his hand no longer targeted Lin Bai, but instead slashed back toward his own Senior Brother.

"Junior Brothers, you can hit me, but do not hurt Huaxi Furen. You may collectively attack Lin Bai."

Aside from matters involving Huaxi Furen, Daoist Qingyu's judgment in other areas was still normal.

He dodged Qingshan's attacks while still remembering to instruct the other junior brothers.

At the same time.

The Fulong Sword in his hand slashed toward Lin Bai.

Then, Huaxi Furen blocked in front of Lin Bai again.

Seeing that it was about to fall into a loop again.

Qingshan was so stifled he wanted to vomit blood: "Senior Brother, let the other junior brothers kill Lin Bai; you don't need to make a move."

"That will have to do." Daoist Qingyu glared at Lin Bai with hatred, "Evil person, you destroyed my Dharma Treasure and controlled my lover; I will surely tear you into ten thousand pieces."

Lin Bai smiled and gave him a Provocation look that said "come and get me," kept the tongue-twister going, pulled out a kitchen knife, and slashed down toward Huaxi Furen.

"No!" Daoist Qingyu's eyes were about to split, and he uncontrollably slashed at Lin Bai again, intending to stop him from hurting his lover.

Huaxi Furen blocked again.

Qingyu withdrew his sword once more.

Lin Bai turned his kitchen knife and casually slashed a strike of 'Six Colors of Proud Cold' toward Daoist Qingyu.

Daoist Qingyu dodged in a rush and cursed loudly: "Despicable, shameless! If you have the ability, come at me!"

Crack!

Crack!

Two bolts of lightning shot out from the forest.

Two more Daoists from Huilong Temple fell.

Looking back and seeing this scene, Daoist Qingshan's teeth were about to shatter.

He had never encountered such a shameless and difficult enemy. If this continued, the Daoists of Huilong Temple would likely be wiped out.

At that point.

Huilong Temple would truly be crippled.

Hardening his heart.

Daoist Qingshan took a step back, glared fiercely at Lin Bai, and shouted sternly: "Junior brothers, attack Senior Brother! Severely injure him, then eliminate Lin Bai."

The group of Huilong Temple Daoists responded with a roar.

"Junior Brother..."

Daoist Qingyu looked at Qingshan in astonishment, then looked at his junior brothers who were rolling up their sleeves, his mind in total chaos.

He didn't quite understand why, when they were clearly surrounding Lin Bai, it had turned into attacking him first?

But he also knew that his own behavior was indeed abnormal.

If it continued, it would very likely drag down all his junior brothers; Qingshan's decision was the most correct one.

But, he was severely injured?

What about Huaxi?

Qing Yu Daozhang looked at Huaxi Furen, who was dazed and looking blank, and said with a look of resignation, "Huahua, wait for me. If you die, I shall follow you. Come!"

"?" the group of Daoists.

F***!

Qingshan Daozhang's face turned black instantly; what kind of mess was this?

It was fortunate that there were no other sects present at the scene.

Otherwise.

If this scene were to spread, the reputation of Huilong Temple would be completely ruined.

Crack!

Crack!

Two more Palm Thunder strikes took away two Golden Core True Persons.

To be precise, not took away, but severely injured.

However, in their unconscious state, if no one treated them, they wouldn't survive for long.

But at this moment, the Daoists of Huilong Temple had their minds entirely on Lin Bai and their Senior Brother, and had no time to attend to their fellow disciples struck by the Palm Thunder.

Furthermore.

Lin Bai's left hand was too small, and as he moved through the woods, a single leaf could block him; moreover, his erratic, randomly released Palm Thunder made the Daoists of Huilong Temple uneasy, wishing they could kill Lin Bai immediately to find peace of mind.

There were too many strange things about him; if they let such a formidable enemy go, would the Daoists of Huilong Temple dare to step out in the future?

At this time.

Lin Bai and the little white fox were working in perfect harmony, and when they recited the tongue twisters, they no longer made any mistakes.

The death of two junior brothers stimulated Qingshan; he painfully raised his Azure Dragon Sword and roared, "Kill."

Kill your mother!

Lin Bai glanced at him and threw the Lüxian of the Matchmaker toward Qingyu and Qingshan.

Was he fighting a war?

He was fighting a battle of mentality.

He wanted the people of Huilong Temple to take a detour whenever they saw him in the future...

"Senior Brother, I'm sorry." A Daoist choked up and raised the horsetail whisk in his hand toward Qingyu.

"Come on!" Caught between love and his sect, Qingyu was already in despair; facing the group of junior brothers, he smiled and calmly opened his arms, "Junior Brother Qingshan, the future of Huilong Temple will depend on you!"

"Senior Brother!"

The burly Qingshan stared blankly at Qingyu, who was preparing to die, and was momentarily stunned in a trance.

In this instant.

The Senior Brother appeared so imposing in his eyes, as if his whole body were radiating light.

At the thought that it was he who had given the order to execute the Senior Brother, a sharp pain pierced Qingshan's heart for no reason!

No!

The Senior Brother cannot die!

It's all that woman's fault!

It's all Lin Bai's fault!

"No!" When all the Disciples of Huilong Temple raised their Slaughter Blades toward their Senior Brother, Qingshan suddenly shouted, blocked the way in front of Qingyu without hesitation, and blurted out, "Don't hurt the Senior Brother, kill that woman first!"

In an instant.

Almost all the Daoists of Huilong Temple hurriedly retracted their moves, nearly causing all their Qi to go haywire; their faces turned deep red, and the sound of coughing merged into one.

The whole group was completely dumbfounded!

What the hell is this?

You were the one who ordered the Senior Brother's death, and you are the one protecting him...

Has the Second Senior Brother gone crazy too?

"Don't kill Huaxi; if you want to kill someone, kill me first," Qingyu pushed Qingshan aside and frowned.

"Senior Brother, you cannot die. If you die, what will I do? I would be a sinner of Huilong Temple!" Qingshan said sorrowfully, and holding the Azure Dragon Sword, he lunged toward Huaxi Furen, "Get out of the way, I will kill that woman!"

"You dare?" Qingyu swung his Sword to block Qingshan, "If you want to kill her, kill me first."

"..." The Daoists of Huilong Temple were filled with inexplicable grief; they raised and lowered the swords in their hands, completely at a loss as to what to do!

"Who do we hit?"

"Do we hit the Senior Brother or the Second Senior Brother?"

"Shouldn't we be hitting Lin Bai?"

"But Lin Bai is being protected by that woman!"

"Then let's kill Huaxi Furen first..."

"Huaxi Furen is being protected by the Senior Brother..."

"Then let's hit the Senior Brother first?"

"The Second Senior Brother is protecting him."

Pfft!

The audience in front of the live stream screen burst into laughter!

"What a cliché mess."

"The Senior Brother loves Huaxi Furen, the Second Senior Brother loves the Senior Brother; I originally thought I would see a grand and spectacular battle of immortals, but I didn't expect to see a sour and stinking love triangle..."

"Sure enough, wherever Shopkeeper Lin is, everything becomes abnormal; you never know what kind of trouble he will stir up."

"Want to hit Lin Bai? First, kill your own people. The Daoists of Huilong Temple are probably already dumbfounded."

"Whoever wants to join Huilong Temple needs some courage; it's just too damn embarrassing."

"Why even bother joining Huilong Temple? Whether Huilong Temple will even exist in the future is another question!"

"The Beggar Sect has come alive again."

"Not necessarily. What if the Daoists of Huilong Temple get ruthless and wipe out both the Senior Brother and the Second Senior Brother?"

【Created the fourth CP (Completed); Reward: Cupid's Bow; 10 Love Arrows (Those struck by this arrow will crazily fall in love with the first person they see)】

【It seems you have become familiar with the work of the Yuelao System; keep up the good work and create the fifth CP; Reward: 10 Resistance Arrows (Those struck by this arrow will instinctively loathe the first person they see)】

So, can three people form two CPs?

Lin Bai is completely impressed by this improper Yuelao System!

But the efficiency of Cupid's Arrow doesn't seem to be any worse than the Red Rope of the Yuelao!

Although there is a possibility of accidentally hitting himself, it only causes crazy infatuation, not forced intimacy, so what is he afraid of?

At worst, after using them, he can just shoot them with a breakup arrow, or use their infatuation to seal them directly into a card; presumably, they won't resist!

Crack!

Crack!

Two more bolts of lightning.

They sent away two Golden Core True Persons.

In a short while, of the 100 Golden Core True Persons, only 94 remained.

"Let's attack together!"

"If we don't attack now, we'll all be dragged to our deaths by them!"

At the critical moment of life and death.

The ferocity of the Daoists was ignited.

The Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother were bewitched, fighting for jealousy over a woman, but what they were throwing away in vain was their lives!

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

The crowd was agitated.

All the Daoists had red eyes and rushed over in a swarm.

Sword Qi, the phantom images of horsetail whisks, and all kinds of talismans, carrying biting killing intent, shrouded the top of Lin Bai's head.

Whose life isn't a life?

Why should they die an unjust death for the sake of a moronic Senior Brother?

Huaxi Furen automatically protected her master.

The Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother each protected their own beloved...

But the attacks from over ninety Golden Core cultivators were too dense.

In a short while.

Both the Senior Brother and the Second Senior Brother were injured.

Although they were influenced by the Red Thread of the Yuelao, their consciousness remained, and knowing the fault lay with them, they were simply too embarrassed to raise a Slaughter Blade against their own sect brothers.

They only defended passively, passively protecting their beloved.

Even though both were near Nascent Soul Peak.

Facing the dense attacks of over ninety Golden Core True Persons, they could not hold on for long.

The only good thing was that Huaxi Furen, under the protection of Qingyu, remained unscathed.

If her consciousness were still intact, seeing this man fighting for his life for her, she would surely disregard the prejudices between the Righteous and Evil Paths and be moved to offer herself to him!

"Brothers of Huilong Temple, welcome to the Love Carnival Season!"

Using whatever was at hand, Lin Bai did not skimp on his items. After tasting the sweetness of love, he immediately recalled his left hand, took out the Cupid's Bow, poked his head out from behind Huaxi Furen, drew the bow, and shot an arrow at the Daoist closest to them.

Then.

He quickly retracted his head behind Huaxi Furen.

He had never thought.

That what would win him this battle was the Yuelao System.

Sure enough.

There are no useless systems, only people who don't know how to use them!

The speed of Cupid's Arrow was extremely fast.

But the Daoist targeted by the arrow didn't care at all; he flicked his horsetail whisk, intending to deflect the arrow, but the whisk swept through empty air. The seemingly tangible Cupid's Arrow was actually intangible and formless; it passed through the whisk and plunged into his heart in a flash.

His expression couldn't help but change, and he hurriedly lowered his head to look at his own heart.

Yet on his chest, not only was there no arrow, there wasn't even a single wound...

He couldn't help but be stunned, sneered, raised his head to look in Lin Bai's direction, and sneered: "Playing tricks!"

As soon as the words fell.

Huaxi Furen had already entered his eyes, and chaotic thoughts surged into his heart in an instant.

What a beautiful woman!

This is the woman I have pursued my whole life!

Should I give my life for her?

If I miss this, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life...

"Do not hurt Huaxi Furen."

The Daoist who had been struck by Cupid's Arrow shouted loudly, rushed over without a second thought, blocked in front of Huaxi Furen, and waved his horsetail whisk, striving to block the incoming attacks.

"Damn it! Another one!"

The Daoists of Huilong Temple were truly going crazy.

If things went on like this, they wouldn't even need to fight Lin Bai; everyone would become Huaxi Furen's followers!

"Fellow senior brothers, we can't fight anymore, let's retreat!" a Daoist shouted in terror, "Lin Bai's divine ability is too bizarre, let's retreat! As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood."

Before the words had finished.

A bolt of lightning took away another Daoist.

Lin Bai took the opportunity to shoot another arrow.

A Daoist was struck by the arrow, his expression changed, he hurriedly left his team, and threw himself at the Second Senior Brother: "Second Senior Brother, I have come to protect you."

"Retreat!"

"Retreat!"

The Daoists were scared silly.

Cultivation has its risks; for the honor of Huilong Temple, they were not afraid of death.

But they were afraid of protecting their enemies for no reason!

They were afraid of dying at the hands of their own people without having made any contribution!

Dying like that was too worthless!

"We are retreating, what about the First Senior Brother and the others?" a Daoist asked.

"They are already beyond saving; if this continues, Huilong Temple will truly be finished!"

Pfft!

A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out.

Qing Yu Daozhang, who had borne the brunt of the attacks, finally could not hold on; he dropped the Fulong Sword in his hand, fell backward from the air, and was caught by a dense tree canopy.

"First Senior Brother." Qingshan True Person cried out in grief and followed him down.

"Second Senior Brother." The nameless Daoist chased down after them.

【Level-skipping challenge successful; ten Blank Cards, five Silver-Edged Cards, one Gold-Edged Card (already issued)】

【You have proven your strength; next, let's gamble on luck. Please use the only Gold-Edged Card to seal a Nascent Soul True Person; reward: 10 Blank Cards, 5 Silver-Edged Cards, 3 Gold-Edged Cards】

So Qing Yu Daozhang was above his level?

A terrifying enemy had been worn down by the Red Rope of the Matchmaker!

Sure enough, love and such are the most fatal things...

Lin Bai had been thinking that without a Silver-Edged Card, using a Blank Card to seal Qingyu would be a waste.

Who would have thought that at the critical moment, the system mission would actually be counted as complete.

With a faint smile, Lin Bai looked at the unconscious Qingyu True Person below and threw out a Silver-Edged Card without hesitation.

A silver radiance enveloped Qingyu, knocking Qingshan True Person, who was throwing himself on him in grief and stuffing healing pills into his mouth, to the side.

A moment later.

The acting temple master of Huilong Temple was taken into the card and became Lin Bai's Puppet...

Having lost Qingyu's protection for Huaxi Furen.

In the blink of an eye.

More than ten wounds appeared on Huaxi Furen's body.

Seeing the injured Huaxi Furen, Lin Bai quickly retracted the card sealing Qingyu, released him, and issued an order for him to attack.

The previously severely injured Qing Yu Daozhang was instantly intact, yet he had lost his sanity and was no longer crazily infatuated with Huaxi Furen.

After a Golden Core Peak True Person was sealed by Lin Bai, he turned around and began a massacre of his fellow sect members.

This scene completely shattered the courage of the Huilong Temple Daoists.

There was absolutely no way to fight!

Fight Lin Bai, and he has the Art of Bewitching Hearts.

Beat their own people into severe injury, and he uses Puppetry!

If they kept fighting.

It wouldn't be them bullying the few with the many, but being bullied by the many by the opponent.

"Retreat!"

Daoist Qingsong swung his Sword to block the strike Qingyu had slashed at him, shouting hysterically, "Lin Bai's demonic arts are formidable, retreat quickly and invite Master to come out of seclusion; I fear only a Nascent Soul True Person can subdue him."

As soon as the words fell.

All the Daoists of Huilong Temple turned their bodies around, each of them desperately driving their cultivation power to Wind Ride and flee in a sorry state along the path they had come, not even caring about the few people like Longxi who were left hanging in the air by the Suspension Talisman.

Only Qingshan, who had been struck by the love poison, and two unknown Daoists stood there blankly, not knowing whether they should flee or stay for the sake of love...

Lin Bai did not care about that much; he used Bow Body Single Shadow to find the few Daoists who had just been struck down by lightning, threw out Blank Cards, and turned them all into his own people.

And then.

Gritting his teeth, he used the Wind Riding technique to chase after the fleeing, disheveled Daoists of Huilong Temple.

He shared the cultivation power of the Golden Core Peak Daoist Qingyu, so he was very proficient in using the Wind Riding technique, and he was not afraid that the time for Morning Flight would expire!

One cannot do things halfway.

The task of the Extreme Counter-Kill System had not been completed yet!

If he didn't take the opportunity to beat this group of Daoists to death, was he supposed to give them a second chance to come and cause trouble?

Besides!

In addition to Huilong Temple, there were still the five great evil sects!

The players' strength was too low to be relied upon; he needed to rely on the Card System to seal a few more Golden Core Daoists to increase his own effective strength.
