Chapter 213: Pulling One Hair Affects the Whole Body

Just say it's impossible for the Heavenly Descended on your own side to be unreliable; how much capability do you, Lin Bai, have to make that group of Undying and Indestructible people consistently follow your instructions?

Backlashed, didn't you!

Serves you right!

He Qin gloated: "Peng Fei, notify the people from Medicine King Valley and Spirit Tool Pavilion to get ready. Whether we succeed or not depends on this one move; Lin Bai is about to jump over the wall like a dog in desperation."

Drag it out if you can, fight if you can't—this was the strategy they had already agreed upon.

Lin Bai, like a clown, spent a long time spouting nonsense in front of the two armies, causing He Qin's confidence to inflate to the extreme.

If there were absolute strength to take them down, why would there be a need to say so much useless talk?

Furthermore.

The Heavenly Descended do not obey Lin Bai's orders, and the people of the Evil Five Sects whom he forcibly subdued are even less likely to listen. If things go wrong, it won't be their three-sect alliance fighting Lin Bai in a moment, but ten sects working together to eliminate a demon from the world...

"... The two people came to the mountain to compare legs, I don't know if it is Cui Cutui..."

The uneven tongue twister resounded over the mountain forest. Xiaobai's head poked out from Lin Bai's embrace, looking indignantly toward the direction of the players, her gaze flashing with biting coldness.

Lin Bai gently patted her head, soothing her anger.

This is what players are!

Don't expect them to always follow your commands.

After this matter is settled, it is time to set some rules for the players.

Otherwise.

Things that challenge his bottom line will only increase.

Xin Shang and the others subconsciously raised their vigilance, unable to help but feel a touch of sympathy for Lin Bai; thinking he controlled everything, yet everything was actually teetering in the wind and rain!

Watching the players suddenly start causing trouble, Daoxu felt a wave of inexplicable comfort in his heart. Looking at Lin Bai's back, he cursed inwardly: Serves you right, you have a day like this too.

He even began to consider whether he should recite tongue twisters when he had nothing to do.

Although the Puppet is not the master of their own actions, from another perspective, why is it not his own protective talisman? Lin Bai presumably wouldn't use lightning to strike himself, and even if he did, it wouldn't matter; being struck to death would be a relief.

Even if he couldn't be struck to death, enduring a bolt or two of lightning to appreciate his flustered appearance would be worth it.

"Did you guys notice, the moment the tongue twister started, Shopkeeper Lin had a moment of being stunned."

"Shopkeeper Lin's head must have gone 'buzz' at that moment!"

"This is what a player is, living up to the name of natural disaster. Everything is led by the nose by NPCs; I thought they had changed to a different place to work!"

"A backstab from the Beggar Sect, let's see how Shopkeeper Lin handles it!"

"I suspect Shopkeeper Lin wasn't prepared at all..."

How to handle it?

If not for the Chaoyuan Sword Sect on the opposite side, the moment the tongue twister started, Lin Bai's Palm Thunder would have landed on the players' heads.

Now.

His foundation has not yet been established, and the lightning must still be used in the right place!

In Jiamu City, Lin Bai was once startled by the three thousand Golden Core cultivators of Medicine King Valley.

But after fighting the Evil Five Sects, these cultivation sects were just like that in Lin Bai's eyes.

A normal Nascent Soul expert can easily defeat dozens or even hundreds of Golden Core cultivators; when encountering a group-scale battle, a Nascent Soul expert must also avoid their sharp edge.

But is Lin Bai a normal Nascent Soul expert?

He is not.

Lin Bai shares the cultivation power of Daoxu and Pei Yanzong; the three of them added together is not simply one plus two.

Ordinary Nascent Soul experts neither have his Lightning Storm, nor his super-strong Mental Power, nor his agility that far exceeds ordinary people; as well as unparalleled luck...

Having blessed himself with a golden shield and issued a guard command to all card Puppets, Lin Bai flung his left hand out. A ribbon-like lightning poured down from his palm, plowing into the mist below like a plow.

At the same time.

Lin Bai revealed his combat form, one eye in front, one eye in back, and then, he hid his nose as well.

Last time, after being ambushed by a Magic Tool from the Canyang Sect and briefly blinded, he developed this cautious combat habit.

The Spirit Tool Pavilion is on the other side; who knows what strange Dharma Treasure they might have!

As for why he hid his nose, what if there was poisonous gas?

With his five senses scattered, Lin Bai's handsome appearance was suddenly unbearable to look at.

But he didn't care at all. Amidst the sound of lightning, he said spiritedly: "The tongue twister, which is like a war horn, has been blown. Warriors of the Justice Alliance, united like a pack of wolves, the battlefield is like a hungry infant, longing for you mothers to give them sweet nourishment. Prepare to receive those captives who are like lambs, and watch how I break through the mist that is as stupid as the crotch-cloth of Sect Leader He's grandmother..."

After finishing the pre-battle mobilization, Lin Bai turned on the Recording Pen and, with two personal guards, flew above the mist.

The mist blocked sight, and likewise blocked Spiritual Sense.

The strategy of the Chaoyuan Sword Sect was correct.

But He Qin's mistake was treating Lin Bai as an ordinary cultivator.

Lin Bai shares the Spiritual Power and Skills of Pei Yanzong and Daoxu; he can use Spiritual Sense to observe the surroundings.

But before he had cards, he had always relied on keen insight to observe the world.

Having eaten many Spirit Fruits, Lin Bai's vision, smell, and hearing far exceed those of ordinary people.

The mist does not interfere with the sense of smell like blood mist does. Relying on scent, as well as the slight sounds made by the cultivators, Lin Bai still accurately pinpointed the cultivators hidden in the mountain forest.

The lightning-resistant Dharma Treasure is indeed effective.

The first wave of lightning fell, and the auras of the cultivators in the mountain forest did not weaken...

However.

A series of emotional feedback reached Lin Bai's mind:

【Shock from Ge Dong, Song Si Tian, Lu Cong...; +1 +1 +1】

【Tension from He Qin, Miao Jiang Xi, Chen Da Yao...: +1 +1 +1】

【Joy from Bai Yin, Longxi, Xiashanhu, Wo Bushi Xiao Hao...; +1 +1 +1】

【Anxiety from Jiang Qingqin, Hu He...; +1 +1 +1】

【Jealousy from Xin Shang, Ge Feiyun...: +1 +1 +1】

……

The two emotion trees in Lin Bai's mind began to scroll rapidly.

Everyone on the battlefield provided him with a steady stream of emotions; there were all kinds of emotions, far exceeding the usual amount.

He couldn't distinguish who was who at all!

And the moment Lin Bai stood out, the Extreme Counter-Kill System gave a mission prompt: 【Win the battle in the predicament; Reward: Agility 30】

As expected.

Only when doing big things is the harvest the greatest.

……

After the first wave of lightning, the players' tongue-twister chanting stopped.

Replaced by uniform advertising slogans:

"Double protection, prevents cavities, Tooth Cleaner toothpaste wishes Shopkeeper Lin a flying start."

"Romantic and rich, love has heaven's will. Hibiscus Chocolate, taste your deep love..."

……

"Thanks to that group of idiots for pushing Lin Bai into a dead end. Lin Bai is fighting alone, yet the people of the Evil Five Sects have no intention of helping him. Our plan has succeeded. Now, as long as we wait for Lin Bai's Spiritual Power to be exhausted, it will be his death day."

He Qin looked at the Beggar Sect Disciples who were still advertising and said mockingly.

Before his voice faded.

A huge thrust suddenly came from under his feet; he couldn't help but strike a pose with one hand forward and one hand backward, flying toward the sky against his will.

He Qin's expression changed instantly; what the hell, how did he discover my hiding place?

"What's going on?"

"Why am I flying?"

"Not good, is it Lin Bai's Love Separation?"

"How did he discover us?"

"Why can Love Separation attack all of us at the same time?"

……

Exclamations came one after another.

He Qin looked around, his mind a blank.

Beside him were hundreds of Sword Immortals from his sect who intended to wait for Lin Bai's Spiritual Power to be exhausted before rushing out to launch a sneak attack.

At this moment, they maintained the same enchanting posture, some fast, some slow.

Flying toward the sky together.

He Qin had learned about the Love Separation technique from the Heavenly Descended, but he didn't know that Love Separation could control so many people at once!?

He channeled his energy, wanting to stop his upward flight.

But the more he channeled his energy, the faster he flew, and he couldn't even change his posture.

He Qin's heart sank right then.

It's over!

Everything is over!

Is the Law Power actually this powerful?

He Qin didn't believe that laws were real, but now, he could only attribute it to laws; compared to laws, he was even less willing to believe that such a terrifying Dao Method existed in the world.

What made He Qin feel fortunate was that they had decided on the strategy of wearing black masks.

Otherwise.

As the dignified Sect Leader of the Chaoyuan Sword Sect, flying into the sky like a woman in front of the Evil Five Sects—how could he face anyone if that got out?

How disgraceful!

The Righteous Sect's techniques are too disgusting!

……

Also flying up at the same time were the people from the Spirit Tool Pavilion and Medicine King Valley hiding in the mountain forest.

Lin Bai's Moon Chase targets two or more people; it can banish one person each time. With hundreds or thousands of people together, theoretically, it can banish them until only one person remains.

Lin Bai's current Mental Power fully allows him to perform millisecond-level micro-manipulation.

Moreover, banishing one after another doesn't require a high level of technical skill.

In just over ten seconds.

The Cultivators and players hiding in the mountain forests and mountain gates were all banished into the air by him using Moon Chase, breaking away from the protection of the mist.

The so-called Mist Array looked like a joke.

"What's the situation?"

"What happened?"

"It's Love Separation!"

……

Screams of panic and confusion were everywhere.

It turned out that emotions like fear and joy had all transformed into a single state of shock at this moment, coming from both the enemy side and their own side.

Several thousand masked people collectively ran toward the moon, rushing out from the mountain forest, and the advertising sounds of the Beggar Sect came to an abrupt halt.

The eyes of Xin Shang and the others from the Evil Five Sects also widened into perfect circles.

……

"What the hell, what is this?"

"Can Shopkeeper Lin's Love Separation send so many people to the sky at once?"

"That's fucking spectacular!"

"Spectacular my ass. If Shopkeeper Lin has skills like this, what else is there to fight for? We might as well wash up and go to sleep!"

"We just offended Shopkeeper Lin..."

"Damn it!"

"This game is unplayable!"

"Shopkeeper Lin's skill is too broken; there's no way to play unless they nerf him."

"The area-of-effect damage of Lightning Storm is already invincible, and now with this unlimited knock-up, how many players would it take to take down Shopkeeper Lin?"

"This time, we absolutely have to go to the forum to protest."

"This is just ridiculous!"

"I fucking want to learn a skill like that too."

……

The Beggar Sect Disciples and the viewers watching the livestream offline all exploded at this moment.

They could accept Love Separation banishing one person, but they couldn't accept Love Separation throwing thousands of people into the sky at the same time!

What kind of love separates thousands of people at once?

……

Gugao Laoren, who was watching the livestream offline, nearly bit his own tongue, his complexion turning pitch-black in an instant; he thought deeper and further than others.

What if the Xianxia World game was a real world?

What if the players were invaders?

Then what was Lin Bai?

A Jiusheng?

Could everything he possessed have been bestowed upon him by the will of the world!

Even if players are Undying and Indestructible, can they fight against the will of the world?

Or is it that they can only live honestly in another world like ordinary natives under the deterrence of Lin Bai?

He had originally thought the game only had increased difficulty because of Lin Bai, but now it seemed that Lin Bai's existence had pushed the game entirely to hell-level!

If Lin Bai gains a few more laws that affect reality and continues to play this kind of game, it's hard to say if they will even be able to get out alive in the future!

Gugao Laoren's hands and feet went numb; for a moment, he wanted to log out of the game immediately, seal up his Game Capsule, and never enter this damn broken game again.

Lin Bai was simply invincible.

……

Pulling one hair affects the whole body.

Love Separation was displayed before the world through the livestream and subsequently spread rapidly throughout the game.

Most players who entered the game almost all chose to stop the work they were doing, hurriedly logged off, and went to watch the Beggar Sect Disciples' livestream.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

They had to obtain first-hand intelligence.

In a short while, except for the Chaoyuan Sword Sect, the Heavenly Descended in the Xianxia World were almost completely cleared out, as if they had returned to the original space-time.

Many natives were confused, thinking something major had happened in the world of the Heavenly Descended, and went one after another to report this abnormal situation to their sect leaders and superiors.

……

Lin Bai did not know that a large-scale moon-running skill had triggered a massive earthquake in the game world.

He was also a bit bewildered.

He knew the Chaoyuan Sword Sect had devised a plan to ambush him, but he hadn't expected this group of people to all get identical black masks!

The players' intelligence didn't have this!

With everyone dressed the same, who should he shoot his Love Arrow at?

Natives are not like players, who have names floating above their heads.

The two emotion trees in Lin Bai's mind could indeed determine the other party's name based on their emotions.

But in the current situation, the emotions were flooding the screen; who the hell knows which is which?

That's it!

These guys came up with a strategy based on his Love Arrow; he didn't expect them to have stumbled upon the right answer by accident, and furthermore, they knew how to use players to spread smoke bombs and send false information...

As expected.

The natives are becoming more and more shrewd!

It was fortunate that he had unlocked the moon-running skill before coming; otherwise, relying on the Moon Elder Red Thread and Cupid's Arrow, he would definitely have taken a huge tumble.

Now.

Let's just use lightning to strike a portion of them first!

Those who can withstand the lightning are the people from the Spirit Tool Pavilion and Medicine King Valley; those who cannot are the people from the Chaoyuan Sword Sect; and those who can keep on withstanding it are definitely Nascent Soul experts.

……

If a person isn't ruthless, they cannot stand firm.

Even the Vajra has moments of glaring in anger.

In this world where the whole world is your enemy, blind benevolence will only make the other side think you are weak and easy to bully.

The tongue twister in the Recording Pen reached its end.

Lin Bai commanded his left hand without hesitation, and lightning struck the black-clad masked man flying toward the sky.

During the process of Moon Rush, one can only maintain a single action.

It can be said that everyone doing the Moon Rush is a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, watching helplessly as the lightning strikes, yet unable to do anything about it.

After a round of lightning.

Dozens of pitch-black fellows with white eyes rolling back in their heads appeared in mid-air.

Some people were struck by lightning and still glared with wide eyes, cursing Lin Bai roundly, while others fell into a coma from serious injuries immediately after being struck.

Even though they were seriously injured and unconscious, the overbearing Moon Rush still carried them persistently as they flew toward the sky.

"Lin Bai, you scoundrel, harming people with evil arts, this victory is dishonorable."

"Fellow Daoists, quickly think of a countermeasure; Lin Bai's demonic arts are terrifying. If we continue to be beaten passively, I fear we will be wiped out here."

"Fellow Daoist, do not panic; circulate your Qi, circulating your Qi can accelerate the process of flying to the sky. The faster you circulate your Qi, the faster you fly. Once you reach the peak, you will descend, and then we can launch an attack."

"Circulate your Qi, circulate your Qi!"

Watching the masked men suddenly accelerate and rush toward the sky like rockets, Lin Bai frowned slightly; good heavens, the weakness of Moon Rush was discovered so quickly...
