Chapter 333: Undefeated against Great Zu

"Master Fan Tian has stood up."

"Could it be that Master Fan Tian is going to compete with these Great Zu people?"

"But Master Fan Tian..."

"That is..."

"It's Master Lin!"

"It is rumored that Master Lin once eliminated the Tu Long Wang by the Wei Shui River and personally went to Jinping County, returning with the head of a great demon wolf. His magical power is high, and his supernatural powers are vast. He must have a way!"

The hall was filled with whispers.

The Great Zu envoy frowned as he looked at Lin Jue. He had noticed Master Fan Tian and Lin Jue's group from the beginning and could vaguely guess that the Crown Prince of Great Jiang was using them as his anchor.

It was just that the magical arts of the world are ever-changing. If one doesn't know how to break some magical arts, even if an immortal came, they might not have a way to break them.

Daoist Yushan also looked on seriously.

He felt that the more he looked at this person, the more familiar he seemed, and he was also curious about how this person would break the magic.

Few people noticed that when the tall and fat middle-aged man saw Lin Jue walking over with a lantern, his eyes changed slightly, but he quickly pretended that nothing was wrong.

"The person just now couldn't break my magical art. What kind of skill do you have to hurt me?"

Lin Jue didn't speak. After walking close to him, he stretched his hand holding the lantern slightly forward, and the long-handled lantern naturally hung above his shadow.

The light of the lantern was not bright, especially since it was daytime, but after getting close to the ground, the shadow under him suddenly became much blurrier.

Curiously, when his shadow became blurrier and lighter, his figure, on the contrary, became a bit clearer.

This person's expression changed slightly.

His face changed several times, but in the end, he gritted his teeth, holding onto a glimmer of luck in his heart, and stared at Lin Jue.

"Are you still not going to retreat?" Lin Jue said.

"What do you mean?"

"..."

Lin Jue shook his head.

He had also learned a magical art related to shadows, called the She Gong Shu. Although the two were not the same, the principles and mysteries were quite similar, especially with that Daoist Yushan exploring the way for him, he could naturally see that this person's skill was also related to shadows.

The reason Daoist Yushan's long sword couldn't hurt him and the line of fire couldn't touch him was also in the shadow.

He didn't know what the principle was, but the She Gong Shu was specifically for hitting shadows.

He had wanted to let this person retreat on his own to save himself a magical art, and in return, he could suffer less injury. Since he wasn't willing, he couldn't blame him.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, Lin Jue flicked his hand, and the cast-iron lantern smashed down.

So fast!

"Boom!"

The tall and fat middle-aged man didn't react at all before the lantern smashed onto his shadow.

How heavy was this cast-iron lantern? Added to Lin Jue's increasingly profound She Gong Shu, this person was like a mortal hit in the back of the head with an iron rod. He had no reaction and immediately fell backward, his whole figure falling from the air.

With a thud, he even rolled once.

"Next."

The young Daoist looked at Wan Xinrong's position and threw the lantern in his hand: "I give this thing to you."

The Great Zu envoy's expression tightened.

The mage beside him changed his expression even more.

It was not only because this person saw through the mage's skill at a glance, but also because the moment he acted, he was so decisive and fast. Such a heavy cast-iron lantern could actually be smashed to the ground with lightning speed. One could see the problem here—

More than a dozen extraordinary people from Great Jiang had come up before, but regardless of whether their magical arts were high or low, or whether they won or lost, at least half of them could be seen to rarely compete with others or subdue demons.

And this person, in every gesture, gave people the feeling that he was very good at competing and subduing demons.

"Thank you, Master."

The injured Wan Xinrong hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the lantern.

The Great Zu delegation turned to look behind them, and the mages behind him also looked at each other, whispering and discussing, frequently glancing at Lin Jue.

Lin Jue stood in the hall, waiting calmly.

The last one to walk out was a middle-aged woman.

The Great Zu envoy spoke:

"This mage is named Zarman. She can curse people to death from a thousand miles away. If you have a way to break it, you win."

The woman walked into the hall without speaking, just took out a doll and seven arrowheads, gestured at Lin Jue several times, and chanted. Blue smoke suddenly rose from the doll.

The people in the hall felt a sense of eeriness and fear.

Especially the Emperor and the Crown Prince.

The palace had always been most wary of such cursing and witchcraft. The existence of the palace's curse-prohibition doctor was also to guard against such magical arts. Added to the fact that this woman could be brought by the Great Zu envoy, she was clearly truly capable. Seeing that they had discussed for so long before sending this woman, everyone couldn't help but sweat for Master Lin.

The woman stuck the seven arrowheads into the seven orifices of the doll one by one.

"A curse?"

Lin Jue frowned slightly, his eyes feeling a little pain.

Then it was his ears and nose.

It was just this kind of civil contest; if it were a real fight, he would have already flown over and cut her with a sword.

Of course, it was also possible that she had cast a curse on him without him noticing at all.

Anyway, it didn't matter.

By the time the woman had stuck all six arrowheads into the seven orifices of the doll, Lin Jue felt a little pain in all seven orifices, but it couldn't be called severe.

It should be that this kind of magical art is related to the mysteries of yin and yang, but he was practicing the Yin-Yang Lingfa, which had progressed very quickly. After obtaining the Great Yin-Yang Law, it progressed even faster. Now, it could be said that he had walked at least halfway on the road to becoming a true immortal. Such magical arts, when they reached him, naturally became much weaker.

If it were an ordinary person, or even a cultivator with some Daoist practice, they might have already bled from the seven orifices and died.

But now...

Lin Jue had originally wanted to use the Jiezhang method, but now he saved it.

"Heh..."

The Daoist looked calmly at the woman.

Whether it was the civil and military officials or the foreign envoys in the hall, most were laymen who couldn't see the trick, but they could see that after the woman cast her spell, Master Lin, who was standing in the middle of the hall, was completely unharmed.

Immediately after, the woman was first puzzled, looked at Lin Jue, then looked down at the doll in her hand, chanted again, pulled out the nails, and stuck them in again. Then her expression became visibly panicked. Only then did Master Lin's voice ring out:

"This method is vicious, but unfortunately, your Daoist practice and attainments are far too lacking."

When the officials in the hall heard this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then their hearts became even more settled.

"As expected of Master Lin..."

"That's right, Master Lin is an immortal descended to the mortal world. How could such a vicious curse disturb an immortal?"

Some people in the hall whispered.

However, Master Lin didn't let her go so easily.

"My turn."

Lin Jue waved his sleeve. No magical art was seen, but it seemed as if a gust of powerful wind swept through the hall.

"Boom..."

This work was compiled and uploaded by ~~

Just like an immortal waving away a mortal, but with a little anger, the woman was immediately blown away, flying directly out of the center of the great hall and landing behind the Great Zu envoy.

Pfft! The woman spat out blood.

This was tit for tat.

Although this kind of competition was indeed posing and solving problems, casting and breaking magic, you were always the ones posing problems and I was the one solving them. If I couldn't solve them, I would lose at best or be injured at worst, but if I solved them, you would just walk off the stage unharmed. How could that be?

"Next."

Lin Jue continued to speak.

Behind the Great Zu envoy, there weren't many mages left, but they were all furious.

Immediately, a fat man walked out.

This man arrived in the hall, said nothing, and without hesitation, took a deep breath and spat.

It was almost a roar.

It was a surging flame. Looking at the momentum, it was almost no less than that of Master An earlier.

But as soon as the flame came out, Lin Jue had already raised his hand.

"Whoosh..."

Almost at the same time, a cold air sprayed from his sleeve, colliding with the flames.

For a moment, one side of the hall felt scorching hot, as if boiling water had been splashed on their faces, while the other side felt bone-chillingly cold, as if a basin of ice water in the dead of winter had drenched them.

The cold air and flames collided and dissipated into nothingness.

"This..."

This person widened his eyes, unable to believe it.

Master An below was also incredulous.

"Next."

Still standing in the hall was Lin Jue.

"I'll do it!"

Another strong gray-clad man walked up.

"I practice the Life-Death Art! This body is not afraid of freezing, not afraid of fire, not afraid of knives, and neither immortals nor demons can do anything to me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jue breathed out.

Whoosh—

It was like a refreshing east wind.

Most of this breath was blown onto this person, but some leaked out, continuing forward and blowing onto the huge pillar of the great hall. Other Great Zu extraordinary people noticed something was wrong. Although they didn't know what it was, they reacted very quickly, immediately overturning the table to block in front of the Great Zu envoy.

On the huge red pillar and the lacquered table, it was as if dead wood had met spring, and a bit of green appeared.

At first, it was just a bit of green. In the blink of an eye, buds grew. In another blink, they had grown more than two inches long. In less than a breath or two, small branches as long as a palm and as thick as chopsticks grew, and not only did leaves grow on them, but flowers bloomed, beautiful and charming.

Those who didn't know would have thought this was another immortal magic trick performed by the extraordinary people to celebrate the Emperor's birthday.

However, a violent scream shattered the great hall.

"Ah!!"

Everyone followed the sound and looked, only to see that on the strong gray-clad man's body, just like on the pillar and the table of the great hall, many small branches had grown, and flowers had bloomed.

And he didn't feel joy, but was in great pain, falling to the ground and wailing and rolling.

The people in the hall were stunned.

The foreign envoys were surprised and afraid, the Great Zu envoy's expression was solemn, while the high officials of Great Jiang and some extraordinary people of the Ju Xian Fu remembered the destruction of Jingyun Temple some days ago—it was said that on the statues of the two guardian martial gods in the temple courtyard, just like now, many flowers had inexplicably bloomed.

Some thought even further, even thinking of the Qingmiao Temple in Langfeng County. It was said that when the evil god was eliminated, all the statues in the Qingmiao God Temple automatically cracked and bloomed.

So it was Master Lin!

Who knows how many people took a deep breath.

Master Yun Chan smiled slightly.

After that, others went on stage, but Master Lin's magical art didn't change. He just breathed out, and no matter what skill they had, they were all broken, and they immediately retreated wailing.

Someone turned into a giant more than a zhang tall, wanting to rely on his size, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, to hammer this so-called Master Lin to death. Unexpectedly, just after running two steps, Master Lin waved his sleeve—the same sleeve that had spat out cold air to extinguish the flames earlier—but this time, a white dot flew out from inside.

The white dot started as big as a bean, and in an instant, it turned into a five-tailed white fox as big as a water buffalo, beautiful and auspicious, yet fierce and incomparable, immediately pinning the giant to the hall floor.

The floor of the great hall cracked because of this.

Someone quietly released the lion sent by the foreign envoy earlier, manipulating it with a secret method. While he was dodging the east wind with his movement technique, he ordered the lion to break into the hall, one on the left and one on the right, wanting to bite Master Lin to death. Unexpectedly, when the lion reached Master Lin, it was even more docile than an ordinary cat or dog, and with a point from Master Lin, it turned and pounced on that person instead.

The young civil official frequently looked up and down, watching the expressions of the Great Zu people, watching the reactions of the officials and envoys, watching the pillar and table where dead wood met spring, watching the broken floor, watching the injured Great Zu mages, and then lowered his head to quickly record all this on paper.

Master Lin's speed in breaking magic and retreating enemies was so fast that it even made him unable to keep up with the recording.

Daoist Yushan's brows furrowed and relaxed, relaxed and furrowed, his expression solemn who knows how many times, but he still couldn't figure out when he had seen this young Daoist.

And he didn't know where this Daoist came from to be so powerful.

"Next..."

Lin Jue still stood calmly in the hall, but at this time, the Great Zu mages had all been on stage.

If you asked him, he only felt that he hadn't had enough.
