Chapter 392: Curses and Laws Go Well Together

Who cares?

Both those who hate me and those who love me will bring me growth.

The Nine Great Heavenly Kings act as they please; when have the people below ever influenced their thoughts?

Schemes and intrigues are merely supplements for insufficient strength!

As his strength grew higher and higher, Lin Bai's mindset was also gradually changing; in a world of the law of the jungle where strength is respected, individual strength can turn the tide.

He possessed the strength of the Star Brilliance Realm, and his next goal was the Heavenly King Realm; he no longer had time to concern himself with the little tricks the players were pulling.

The reason the players of the Anti-Lin Bai Alliance thought they could threaten him with a "fish dies, net splits" scenario was that they believed he cared about this world.

But does he care?

Perhaps, for the sake of Xu Longyun, he might care a little!

Yet Xu Longyun's thinking still remained at a worldly level.

However, seeing her earnest appearance, Lin Bai found it hard to dampen her enthusiasm, so he nodded and said, "Mm, leave the matter of dealing with the Anti-Lin Bai Alliance to you. Call the fellow disciples together; I will be responsible for improving your strength."

Xu Longyun responded, looking at Lin Bai with slight hesitation: "Husband, the situation in the Immortal World is turbulent, and no one can help you. Why not wait a while longer in the lower realm, let the gods and Celestials of Shenmo Dalu fight each other, and then make plans? At this moment, if you enter the Immortal World, all focus will be concentrated on you. Taking a step back might just lead to a vast sky."

After getting married, a woman's heart turns toward seeking stability and she becomes unwilling to let her husband take risks; this is a normal psychological shift. Lin Bai looked at Xu Longyun and sighed softly: "Xiaoyun, sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you retreat. Having reached my level, how could it be easy to stop? Moreover, I must improve my strength to be able to protect you all."

Xu Longyun sighed inwardly, knowing she could not persuade Lin Bai, and smiled reluctantly: "Husband, put your own safety first in everything."

"I am the one destined by Heaven; nothing will happen to me." Lin Bai smiled. "Danger and opportunity coexist. I have only been in the Immortal World for a few days, and I am already in the Star Brilliance Realm. The next step is the Heavenly King Realm. When I become a Heavenly King, that will be the time for us to reshape the order of this world."

……

After capturing Shi Biao, the Extreme Counter-Kill System did not prompt that the mission was complete, proving that the danger remained. Lin Bai pondered for a moment and used the Extraction Skill on the dazed Shi Biao.

When he had just suppressed Shi Biao, Lin Bai did not use Extraction.

Because the Extraction Skill was random and could only acquire one skill from the opponent at a time, the environment at that time simply did not allow it.

Furthermore.

By sealing Shi Biao into a card, he could also share all of Shi Biao's abilities, so naturally, the more complete the Puppet sealed into the card, the better.

Now that he had successfully sealed him, extracting a skill from the Puppet meant the skill became his own.

According to the recovery characteristics of the cards, extracting the skill and then putting him back in should allow for recovery...

Thunder: Flying Wheel Heaven Wrath.

The first skill was extracted—a useless skill.

The Card System popped up a notification: A new method of using cards has been discovered; rewarded with ten of each three-colored card.

As soon as the system prompt appeared, Lin Bai knew his method was feasible.

Thus, he did not hesitate to pin the dazed Shi Biao, who didn't know how to resist, to the ground, defeated him once more, and continued to extract skills.

What Lin Bai was best at was exploiting bugs.

Are the eyes of outsiders more important than improving strength?

Xu Longyun had long since become accustomed to it. Back in Jiamu City, wasn't it because Lin Bai had run crazily to the City Lord's Mansion and said a bunch of love words to her that she had secretly developed feelings for him?

Without this Pure Heart, how could Lin Bai possibly possess his current height?

After tossing him about repeatedly a dozen times, Lin Bai squeezed out Shi Biao's most critical domain skill—Thunder: Judgment, that law skill targeting the Soul.

Then, he sent Shi Biao back into the card to restore him.

It was just that cultivation could not be extracted; otherwise, Lin Bai could have used this skill to pile himself up to the Heavenly King Realm.

……

Having settled the skills, Lin Bai did not rush to return to the Immortal World, but instead fed Shi Biao an Enlightenment Pill to help him recover his sanity; only by knowing oneself and the enemy can one win a hundred battles.

"Judgment!"

The moment his sanity returned and all his memories came back, Shi Biao was furious and immediately used his law skill.

But due to the constraints of his status as a Puppet, without Lin Bai's order, he could not even mobilize his Spiritual Power.

Shi Biao gritted his teeth and glared at Lin Bai in despair: "Don't be smug too early. You don't understand the power of a Heavenly King at all. One day, the Heavenly King will avenge me."

"Perhaps, but before that, your Heavenly King will kill you first, just like you killed Nan Lingtian." Lin Bai shook his head indifferently and used the True Word Spell on him: "Biaozi, what are the laws mastered by the other three people?"

Biaozi!

Shi Biao's temper was easily provoked by these two words: "Don't call me Biaozi."

"Biaozi, you've fallen into trouble; don't you want to drag them down with you?" Lin Bai said leisurely. "There were four people who came to kill me, and yet you are the only one who fell. Don't you feel wronged? It doesn't sound good if it gets out, either!"

"Don't even think about getting any information from me." Shi Biao said coldly. "They are all my good brothers; I will not betray anyone."

"Find someone to replace you, and I will let you regain your freedom," Lin Bai said.

"Your past experiences, your personality—all the Celestials know them like the back of their hands. Who doesn't know you are untrustworthy? Do you think I would fall for your trick?" Shi Biao sneered and said.

"You will shake your head while slapping your own face, and this action will continue until you speak the laws mastered by your three companions, only then will the curse be lifted," the one-headed, two-armed God of Curses looked at Shi Biao and suddenly spoke.

"Hmph!" Shi Biao snorted disdainfully.

But the next second, with a look of astonishment on his face, he involuntarily began to shake his head, slapping his own face left and right, like a swinging fan.

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

One palm after another.

The sound of the slaps was crisp and powerful.

"What did you do to me?" Shi Biao screamed in terror.

"I placed a curse on you, and I also told you the method to lift it." Lin Bai smiled half-heartedly. "It's quite simple, isn't it?"

Xu Longyun's eyes widened suddenly, and she pointed at the God of Curses: "He... he..."

"I seized the divinity of the God of Curses." Lin Bai turned to Xu Longyun and smiled. "That guy clearly didn't know how to use his curses. A good curse is one that achieves its goal; why bother making so many high-and-mighty curses that are both difficult for people and hard to break?"

"..." Xu Longyun swallowed with a dry laugh, suddenly feeling that turning into a zombie back then wasn't such a terrifying thing after all.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the method Lin Bai was using to deal with Shi Biao right now, if the God of Curses were to pull this at a wedding, she and Jiang Qingqin would become the laughingstock of several worlds.

Their wedding would be completely ruined as well.

However, thinking about those strange and peculiar Fazhe Zhidao of Lin Bai's, it was perfectly normal for the God of Curses' divinity to be used by him in such a way.

"No need to worry anymore; there is only one divinity of the God of Curses, and no one else will be able to use curses on you two." Lin Bai saw through Xu Longyun's thoughts. "If I were to curse you, I would only curse you to become more and more beautiful."

Watching Lin Bai, who was flirting and still had the heart to coax women, Shi Biao, who was shaking his head incessantly and slapping himself, exploded: "Lin Bai, to humiliate me like this—don't even think about getting any other information from me."

"What kind of humiliation is this? I was even planning to take you out shopping in a while!" Lin Bai curled his lips in disdain. "You should know I have *Justice Weekly*. I plan to find two reporters to promote you; in less than half an hour, all four worlds will know the glorious deeds of Shi Biao, one of the four great generals under the Heavenly King of Thunder and Lightning, who would rather slap himself than betray his companions..."

"You dare?" Shi Biao's eyes widened in horror.

"You are all trying to kill me, so what is there that I wouldn't dare? I am exceptionally good at disgusting people." Lin Bai laughed proudly. "Once your current image spreads throughout the entire world, do you think they will consider you heroic, or will they think you are a joke?"

Xu Longyun couldn't bear to look at Shi Biao anymore; at this very moment, she suddenly felt that the God of Curses' divinity and her own husband were a perfect match.

Curses combined with Fazhe Zhidao were simply a perfect pair.

"To humiliate a powerhouse like this, Lin Bai, you will incite public anger." Shi Biao foresaw his miserable future; with red eyes and a smile, he roared hysterically, looking like a complete lunatic.

"As if you would let me go if I didn't do these things. One doesn't worry about too many debts, and one doesn't itch from too many lice; I am already an enemy of the world, so I don't care about adding one or two more charges. Besides, by spreading your deeds and letting more people know of my madness, perhaps fewer people will come to deal with me! After all, they have to weigh whether they can afford the price of provoking me!" Lin Bai shook his head indifferently and said, "Having said so much, and with so many slaps delivered, Biaozi, are you really not prepared to betray your companions?"

Slap!

Shake head!

Slap!

Shake head!

Shi Biao glared at Lin Bai in anger, but his expression became increasingly conflicted.

"I even prepared a follow-up for you, for example, taking you, while you are slapping yourself, to fight the companions you are defending with your life, and then, seeing if they will show you any mercy?" Lin Bai was ruthless, saying slowly, "Perhaps, in the middle of the battle, you won't be able to stand the shame and will take the initiative to expose their Dao Method!"

"You..." Shi Biao's face flushed red instantly, and after a long while, he asked, "If I tell you their Fazhe Zhidao, will I really stop?"

"Why not give it a try?" Lin Bai didn't give him a precise answer, but smiled and encouraged him, "What if it works? It's still better than now!"

Is the devil the man right in front of me?

Shi Biao remembered the extremely evil Heavenly Demon Heart at the beginning of the battle and suddenly felt that opposing him was not a wise choice.

The Alliance Leader of the Justice Alliance?

Pfft!

A complete demon.

And most people are not willing to offend an evil person!

Shi Biao gritted his teeth: "The Heavenly Being who holds the Sword is named Tang Hao, and the Fazhe Zhidao he masters is called Purple Flame Heaven Thunder; after being struck by the Purple Flame Heaven Thunder, the purple flames will attach to the body until the person is burned to ashes, and it cannot be extinguished; the Heavenly Being who holds the blade is named Peng Lang, and the Fazhe Zhidao he masters is called Distortion Thunder; after being struck by his lightning, all actions will be forcibly reversed; the Heavenly Being who holds the hammer is named Fei Shang, and the Fazhe Zhidao he masters is called Synchronization Thunder; after being struck by his lightning, whatever action he performs, the target will follow and perform the same action."

Once the answer was spoken, the curse was lifted, and the sound of slapping ceased abruptly.

Shi Biao stood stunned in place, looking at his own palms in disbelief, as if he hadn't expected Lin Bai's words to actually be true.

Xu Longyun was also stunned.

She wasn't concerned about the curse, but those three Fazhe Zhidao sounded very powerful.

Compared to them, Lin Bai's Love Separation, Heavenly River, and similar Fazhe Zhidao were as gentle as little lambs; she somewhat regretted letting Lin Bai switch to cultivating the Dao of Love. If Lin Bai had kept cultivating the Heavenly Dao, he might not have been so passive!

"Husband, why don't we think of other ways to deal with them?" Xu Longyun said worriedly.

"No need." Lin Bai shook his head. "I cultivate the Great Dao Fazhe Zhidao; their Fazhe Zhidao are all minor paths, not worth worrying about."

"Husband, don't push yourself." Xu Longyun said.

"Fazhe Zhidao is Fazhe Zhidao, how can there be a Great Dao or a minor path?" Shi Biao couldn't help but say.

"Judgment can only be used for a maximum of one minute before it exhausts Spiritual Power; if you can't kill the enemy, you will be at the mercy of others." Lin Bai said. "Moreover, it cannot be used against enemies stronger than you; what kind of Fazhe Zhidao is that? At best, it's just a powerful spell; don't try to gild your own lily. My Great Dao Fazhe Zhidao can be used even without a shred of Spiritual Power, and there are no restrictions when using them; can't you tell which is superior and which is inferior?"

Shi Biao froze for a moment, then flushed and retorted: "Our Fazhe Zhidao will grow and strengthen as our comprehension deepens, it's not as unbearable as you say; those Fazhe Zhidao of yours also have many weaknesses, they are as ridiculous as a clown, and most Heavenly Beings will be immune to them..."

"How long can the Fazhe Zhidao of those three last?" Lin Bai glanced at him with disdain, too lazy to argue with him, and interrupted him.

"About the same as mine." Shi Biao said; his mindset had been broken by Lin Bai, and he gave up, no longer insisting on his loyalty.

"Then it's even simpler; you take the lead, exhaust their Fazhe Zhidao, and I'll step in while they are weak." Lin Bai laughed.

【Resentment from Shi Biao; +1 +1 +1...】

"I think that works." Xu Longyun's eyes suddenly lit up, and she nodded. "You are their companion; a sneak attack should be a sure thing."

"This is your countermeasure?" Shi Biao cursed loudly, his whole body trembling. "Lin Bai, you are too shameless!"

"Isn't that what a Puppet is for?" Lin Bai glared at him and grabbed him without further ado. "Biaozi, if a man doesn't look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him. In a moment, I will let you out; you use Judgment to launch a sneak attack, and if you kill one, your chances of survival will increase by a fraction. Using Fazhe Zhidao causes weakness; I don't think the three of them will use their Fazhe Zhidao at the same time. Let's hit that guy named Peng Lang first..."

"..." Shi Biao roared, "Lin Bai, you are clearly..."

The next instant, Lin Bai was already pulling him, stepping onto the Magpie Bridge, and arriving at the other end of the bridge.

"... trying to send me to my death; I will never attack Old Peng even if I die..."

The latter half of Shi Biao's words appeared in the Immortal World.

Tang Hao and the other two had waited for a long time, but Lin Bai hadn't come; they originally thought he wouldn't come for a short while, so they were discussing countermeasures and were prepared for a long-term stakeout.

But suddenly, they saw Lin Bai reappear, clutching Shi Biao, and Shi Biao had a look of resistance and struggle on his face.

The three were overjoyed and prepared to strike, intending to kill Lin Bai first and then rescue Shi Biao.

Lin Bai threw Shi Biao toward Peng Lang: "Catch."

Seeing his companion thrown out by Lin Bai, Peng Lang reflexively withdrew his move, but Lin Bai had already issued the order to attack to Shi Biao.

Shi Biao involuntarily rushed toward Peng Lang, shouting: "Old Peng, kill me."

As he spoke.

Thunder Spirit appeared, Judgment had already been activated, and over a thousand rays of lightning had already covered Peng Lang, who had no time to react.

Peng Lang suffered a sudden, heavy blow and plummeted from the sky with a scream.

Tang Hao and Fei Shang were terrified.

Fei Shang immediately cast Synchronization Thunder on Shi Biao, intending to restrain him first and rescue Peng Lang.

Tang Hao attacked Lin Bai, but Lin Bai on the Magpie Bridge dodged and vanished once again.

"Bastard!" Tang Hao cursed in anger and turned to help Fei Shang, but the next second, another Shi Biao flew out from the Magpie Bridge, baring fangs and brandishing claws: "Careful, he is an impostor disguised as Lin Bai..."
