Chapter 179: This Is What Combat in the Xianxia World Is Really Like

The Demon Spirit Sect's signature skill is refining evil spirits.

In battle, they create a Sky Curtain, using thick fog to turn the combat environment into their home field, thereby utilizing strong geographical advantages to achieve victory.

The Blood Shadow Sect's Dao Method involves releasing blood mist during battle to slow down the enemy's speed, thereby gradually expanding their own advantage.

Therefore, to ambush Lin Bai, these two sects were the vanguard.

Blood mist to restrict speed, Sky Curtain to block vision—a combat strategy designed entirely against Lin Bai.

Of course, considering Lin Bai is a ruthless man who wiped out a sect single-handedly, they didn't intend to take him down with just this move; they only sought to use evil spirits to eliminate the Heavenly Descended first and restrict Lin Bai's Palm Thunder.

But just as the battle began, the eyes of Xin Shang and the others nearly popped out.

What is going on?

What happened to the promised Cui Cutui?

How did lightning appear before the Heavenly Descended even opened his mouth?

"We've been tricked." Ge Feiyun watched as the evil spirits that the sect's Disciples had painstakingly refined turned to dust, his face turning ashen in an instant. "Lin Bai's Palm Thunder doesn't need that ridiculous incantation; this is a Soul Bewitching array he set up!"

"Is his scheming this deep?" Xin Shang watched the Palm Thunder falling like raindrops, his face full of horror.

The intelligence was provided by that Heavenly Descended person called 【Human World Song】.

But they wouldn't trust the Heavenly Descended's words one hundred percent; they still conducted a detailed investigation before the battle before finally deciding on this strategy.

Yet the battle lost control the moment it started.

"When facing Huilong Temple, the Beggar Sect Heavenly Descended were wiped out, and he even insisted on chanting that ridiculous incantation. He even deceived the Heavenly Descended, enduring until now, laying out a far-reaching plan—I fear he had already plotted today's situation long ago." Zhao Tulong analyzed cautiously, his gaze profound, and he said in a low voice, "The Righteous Gate has grand designs; we were too hasty..."

"What Daoxu said might be true. Do we still have a chance to kill him?" Shen Kuang looked at Lin Bai expressionlessly; the pain Shen Shishui brought him had all been converted into hatred for Lin Bai.

"Not Spirit Transformation. If it were the Spirit Transformation realm, a Sky Curtain of this scale wouldn't be able to trap him at all." Ge Feiyun stared at the one-eyed Lin Bai in the Sky Curtain and said with certainty, "At most, he is like us, also at the Nascent Soul cultivation level, perhaps a bit higher than us. In single combat, none of us are his match, but joining forces to kill him is as easy as turning over one's hand..."

【Human World Song】 is the new account of 【Gelige】, and it was he who provided Lin Bai's intelligence to the Evil Five Sects.

Later, he also saw the matter of the Recording Pen, but after witnessing the efficacy of the Recording Pen, he chose to remain silent.

He worried that the Evil Five Sects would be frightened by Lin Bai; once the action against Lin Bai began, it would be difficult to withdraw.

The official announcement stated there are no plot NPCs, so Lin Bai is killable.

In a situation where players cannot do anything to him, adding more enemies for him is the best choice.

In the heart of 【Human World Poetry】, it wouldn't matter if the Evil Five Sects were wiped out; that would surely bring even more powerful NPCs to avenge them.

Heaven's madness brings rain, man's madness brings disaster; there is always an NPC Lin Bai cannot defeat...

Human thinking is hard to change; 【Human World Poetry】 has never been able to stand the style of disrupting game balance from the beginning to the end, not to mention that Lin Bai also single-handedly ruined so many days of his hard work.

He has never hated an NPC so much; this grudge is one he must settle.

On the Suspension Talisman, players like 【Longxi】 watched the evil spirits shuttling through the fog and the lightning landing around them, all of them dumbfounded.

This is the true battle of the Xianxia World!

Yin winds blowing, ghost shadows howling, lightning falling right beside them...

The immersive feeling couldn't be more terrifying.

That is, it's a game; if they encountered this situation in reality, nine out of ten players present would have wet their pants, let alone talk about fighting.

"No power to fight back." 【Longxi】 felt the sluggishness in his body and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Our levels are too low. The lowest among those participating in the attack have Golden Core cultivation; this shouldn't be an enemy we are supposed to face." 【Difficulty】 opened his eyes wide, unable to see Lin Bai's figure in front, only the Huilong Temple Daoist priests guarding them. He sighed, "We actually wanted to take down Shopkeeper Lin back then; thinking about it now, it really was childish to the point of being ridiculous..."

"Shopkeeper Lin's style is clearly different from others. Without him, perhaps we could have played an authentic Xianxia game." 【Shrimp Mountain Lake】 muttered, "The Game Company has indeed gone off track; building a pure Xianxia game would clearly win better word-of-mouth."

"I wonder how Shopkeeper Lin will break the situation this time?" 【I Am Not A Small Account】 said leisurely, "Once Shopkeeper Lin defeats the Evil Five Sects, we should have time to practice these immortal arts and Dao Methods! Learning these immortal art Skills is quite stylish when fighting; I want to calm down and practice Skills and Dao Methods, and not go and do that 'word-follows-law' nonsense."

"Me too."

"Me too."

The surrounding players echoed one after another.

With five Recording Pens playing at staggered times, Lin Bai can manage to plow the ground with Palm Thunder without interruption.

The blood mist and Sky Curtain are controlled by Golden Core Cultivators, and Lin Bai's Palm Thunder is the nemesis of evil spirits; in a short while, the number of evil spirits in the Sky Curtain became fewer and fewer.

It is unknown whether they retreated voluntarily or were dissolved by the Palm Thunder.

Lin Bai shares the cultivation of nine Golden Cores and one Nascent Soul; it can be said that his cultivation is the highest among everyone present, but his vision is still blocked by the fog, unable to see very far.

In this situation, the Blacksmith Six-Piece Set cannot play a role at all, and Cupid's Arrow, which requires a target to be used, has also failed.

Like the players, this is also Lin Bai's first time experiencing a battle in the Xianxia World.

Have to say.

This way of fighting that blocks vision is indeed annoying.

Lin Bai raised his Mental Power to the maximum, applied the Golden Bell Cover, gave the order to guard to all the Puppets, and recalled his left hand that was releasing Palm Thunder. Leaving behind the Huilong Temple Daoist priests and players, he activated the Wind Riding technique, left palm in front, lightning clearing the way, and rushed straight ahead.

Releasing the left hand before was to strike ahead of time and eliminate the enemy's effective strength.

Now that the opponent knows the players cannot play much of a role in the battle and will no longer attack them, the left hand naturally must be used to guard himself.

The range covered by the Sky Curtain is limited; he must get his vision back.

With Agility plus thirty, the blood mist from the Blood Shadow Sect that slows speed does not have much impact on him.

While traveling through the fog,

Lin Bai placed his right eye in front and his left eye behind his head.

Although a bit strange, he can observe the surrounding situation three hundred and sixty degrees without blind spots.

After the Great Demon Solution was mastered, Lin Bai invented this new combat method; during team battles, he can basically achieve zero blind spots.

Lightning paved the way.

Attacks coming from the sides and the rear would be blocked by the Puppet.

Daoxu Zhenren is in the Nascent Soul Realm; it is not easy for those ordinary Golden Core Cultivators to break through his defenses.

It would be fine if he hadn't regained his consciousness, and it wouldn't matter if he had, but having regained his consciousness only to be struck by a Resistance Arrow, Daoxu Zhenren is the most aggrieved of all the Puppets.

The contradictory feeling of his body and mind being at odds was enough to drive him mad; while hacking and slashing at the evil spirits lunging toward Lin Bai, Daoxu roared: "Xin Shang, Ge Feiyun, kill me first! This old man will not strike at you; if you do not kill me, you will never be able to touch Lin Bai."

"You bunch of idiots, what is the use of sending these Golden Core Cultivators to their deaths instead of taking action yourselves?"

"If you cannot kill me, then hurry back to the Demonic Five Sects and send someone who can."

"If you do not flee now, you will not be able to escape once you are each turned into Puppets by him."

"Sect Leaders, do not listen to Daoxu's nonsense. I, Lin, am not a bloodthirsty person. Why not disperse the fog so we can have a proper talk and renegotiate the distribution of territory?"

Listening to Daoxu's exasperated shouts, Lin Bai laughed heartily, "Today, I, Lin, am hosting the Gancheng Cup and invited sects like Chaoyuan to come and eliminate demons. Yet, until now, not a single sect has come to assist, which truly makes me quite disappointed in these righteous sects."

"Instead of us both suffering losses and letting them reap the benefits, why don't we join forces, form a Justice Alliance, and go seize their territories!"

As he spoke.

Lin Bai's vision suddenly cleared.

Suddenly.

A dazzling burst of light exploded before Lin Bai's eyes.

A sharp pain shot through Lin Bai's right eye, and his vision turned completely white; in an instant, he could see nothing.

Damn it!

A flashbang!

My right eye isn't going to go blind, is it?

Lin Bai cursed inwardly, using his left eye to observe his surroundings, and led his bodyguard group to charge violently toward the sky.

At the same time, relying on his intuition, he threw the Blacksmith Six-Piece Set all at once toward the place where the blinding light had just been emitted.

Crack!

A crisp sound rang out.

The blinding light vanished instantly.

"Eye-Devouring Mirror! You thief, you destroyed my Dharma Treasure; I will not rest until you are dead." Pei Yanzong let out a hysterical roar, whipped up a ball of flames, and lunged toward Lin Bai.
