The cultivator that Lu Yin had fused with was rather powerful, but he was still not Ling Que's match.
However, the Sixth Mainland's advantage over the Fifth Mainland's cultivators was too great. They had an innate suppression and an imprint. If not for these factors, this cultivator would not have been able to withstand a single attack from Ling Que.
Now, Ling Que was being surrounded and forced to the brink of death due to his various advantages.
If Lu Yin had not fused with this cultivator, then Ling Que would have died without a doubt. He would have been a spent force, but things were different now.
Lu Yin approached Ling Que step by step.
Ling Que closed his eyes and then opened them again. He gazed longingly at outer space. "My support group is gone. It's a pity that I won't be able to see you one last time."
Lu Yin was speechless. Even now, this guy was still thinking about his support group. Speaking of which, that support group had left a deep impression on Lu Yin.
"Come! Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!" Ling Que shouted as he looked up at the cultivator that Lu Yin had fused with. His eyes were filled with arrogance. "You Sixth Mainland trash will be surpassed by us sooner or later. That person was right: you're all slaves to the cultivation system."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. This was what Ling Que had said during his battle with Blood Looney at Spirit Palace.
"I'm moved by your words. Come, kill me," Lu Yin said as he looked at Ling Que with sincerity.
Ling Que was stunned. "What did you say?"
Lu Yin replied righteously, "You're right. Our Sixth Mainland is trash. You're amazing, and your words moved me. Come, kill me."
Ling Que blinked. "What did I say?"
"Kill me!" Lu Yin shouted.
Ling Que's face twitched. "Are you crazy?"
"I told you to kill me. I'm moved by your words," Lu Yin said loudly.
Ling Que gulped, a little confused. What did he just say?
Lu Yin could not wait any longer. The longer he dragged this out, the more star essence he would have to consume. He did not want to use too many star essence right now, as the poison's effects would not be improved. Instead, it would affect the border defenses.
Lu Yin suddenly attacked Ling Que, raising his blade and slashing down.
Ling Que instinctively dodged and swung his Que's Mighty Slash, which merged into the void. The cultivator that Lu Yin had fused with had his neck split open, and he died instantly.
Ling Que's mouth fell open.......................
What about the Martial Seal?
It was useless. Strange, could it be that she was really moved by him?
Ling Que felt like he had discovered a whole new world. He wondered if he should say something first when he fought with others in the future. Perhaps that would move them. Right, what did he just say?
In the Damuyan District, Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously covered his neck. He touched it, but it was fine.
Just now, he had experienced the feeling of his throat being cut open. It was a very unpleasant feeling, especially since it had been cut open by Ling Que.
He had experienced the sensation of death, and he did not know if it had been a misconception, but after he returned to his own body, he felt as if something had been triggered within him. However, nothing had changed. He shook his head and decided not to think too much about it. He hurriedly checked his cosmic ring and sighed. Fortunately, he had only used up a little more than 20,000 star essence.
This place wasn't too far from the Chaos Flowzone, and it was separated by the Astral River and the Starfall Sea. The distance in a straight line wasn't too great, and the time it had taken to merge with the Chaos Flowzone had been extremely short. Thus, it was reasonable for the Chaos Flowzone to consume so much energy.
If the person merging with the Chaos Flowzone was weak, the energy consumption would be even lower.
Lu Yin restored his die and tapped it. Suddenly, within his domain, he could sense Qiongxi 'er, Wei Rong, and Zhu San's figures. He was secretly anxious. Of all the times to come, why did they have to come now? If he rolled Enhance, it would be a waste.
Fortunately, the die stopped rolling, and the number that appeared was five.
Five points. It was a seemingly useful point that was actually quite useless. It could be used to borrow another person's innate gift, but the condition was that the user had to come into contact with the person being borrowed within ten seconds. Lu Yin had previously rolled this point to borrow the rabbit's lightning that had knocked the nine-headed ape unconscious. He had then used that lightning to kill the powerhouse that had attacked him, and he had also borrowed the monkey's innate gift of shadow. Now, he could not waste it.
Ten seconds was enough. Lu Yin's figure vanished.
On Blackfire Rock, Qiongxi 'er and the others headed towards Lu Yin's location. "Are you sure he's here?" Zhu San grumbled.
Wei Rong looked around. He had come to find Lu Yin to discuss whether or not there was a way to counterattack. There was no such thing as an eternal defense in his dictionary. If he kept defending, he would eventually be defeated.
Previously, when Armament Weave had been attacked by the Great Eastern Alliance, the disparity in power had been just as great. Wei Rong had been able to stall for time, and he had even been able to protect the Wei family in the end. Now that they were facing the Sixth Mainland's attack, he would definitely have a chance no matter how great the disparity was.
Right now, the only people he could discuss this with were Lu Yin and Qiongxi 'er.
Qiongxi 'er was flying when Lu Yin suddenly appeared beside her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Looking for me?"
Lu Yin's sudden appearance almost scared Qiongxi 'er to death, and it also gave Wei Rong a fright. He was currently very flustered, as dying on the battlefield was too humiliating.
Qiongxi 'er stared at Lu Yin in a daze, her gaze landing on his hand that was pressing down on her shoulder.
Lu Yin pursed his lips and retracted his hand. "Sorry, I'm just a little happy to see an old friend."
Behind him, Zhu San was furious, and he kicked Lu Yin's butt, but Lu Yin dodged.
"Lu, you can't bully your friend's wife! You promised me before!" Zhu San shouted.
Lu Yin rolled his eyes. "Relax, I'm not interested in her."
Qiongxi 'er raised a brow. "What do you mean?
Speak clearly. "
"Yeah, what do you mean?
Isn't our Xi 'er charming? "Zhu San glared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was speechless. "Fine, she's charming."
Zhu San's eyes immediately turned red. "I told you that you wanted to steal Xi 'er from me, you bastard!"
"Alright, stop arguing. Brother Lu, we're here for proper business," Wei Rong said to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin nodded. "Go ahead."
Wei Rong looked around and then descended.
Lu Yin followed suit.
Qiongxi 'er patted Lu Yin's shoulder and gave him a strange look. This guy's behavior was very strange.
Zhu San stared at Lu Yin as if he was a thief.
"Brother Lu, why do you think the Sixth Mainland specifically attacked the Damuyan District?" Wei Rong asked.
Lu Yin had naturally considered this question, and he had his own guesses, but he did not say anything. "I've just arrived, so I don't know much about this place. What do you think, Brother Wei?"
Wei Rong replied, "Brother Lu, do you know that Ancestor Arrow Mountain killed a powerhouse at the level of an Emissary from the Sixth Mainland with a single arrow? That's what they call an Imprinter."
Lu Yin nodded.
"The Sixth Mainland is very strong, and with their unique imprint and bloodline, they definitely aren't weak against those at the same level. From what I know, Ancestor Arrow Mountain fought with that Imprinter, but he didn't gain the upper hand. Furthermore, there were two Imprinters at the time, so doesn't Brother Lu find it strange that he was able to kill them with a single arrow?"
Qiongxi 'er grew impatient. "Get to the point. You're making me anxious. Let me explain." She then continued, "Based on our analysis, Ancestor Arrow Mountain wasn't able to kill an Imprinter with his own strength. It's very likely that he relied on that arrow, and that arrow is extraordinary."
Lu Yin replied, "But from what I know, Ancestor Arrow Mountain's arrow was redirected by Master Yuan. Perhaps Master Yuan's strength was added to the arrow, which was why he was able to kill an Imprinter."
"Master Yuan changed the arrow's direction because that arrow's target was Ancestor Mo Jiang," Wei Rong said solemnly.
Qiongxi 'er continued, "Ancestor Arrow Mountain isn't stupid. He dared to aim at Ancestor Mo Jiang, which means that he has a certain level of confidence. Ancestor Mo Jiang isn't an Imprinter, but rather a World Imprinter who surpasses the Imprinter realm. If his power level is converted to a World Imprinter, then that means that his arrow is extraordinary. Furthermore, that arrow was snatched away by that Imprinter called Yan Cheng, so we're guessing that the Sixth Mainland's frequent attacks on the Damuyan District are either to take revenge for the dead Imprinter, or because of Ancestor Arrow Mountain's arrow."
Lu Yin had to admit that these two's guesses were correct. The three arrows that had been passed down from Taimo Temple might have come from the Sixth Mainland. Ancestor Arrow Mountain had mentioned that Lu Yin had come across an arrow intent similar to those three arrows before. This arrow intent had come from Nightking Zhenwu, and Nightking Zhenwu's archery techniques had come from the ruins of the Daosource Sect. He had even mentioned to Wu Taibai that his archery techniques had come from the Sixth Mainland.
It was very likely that Yan Cheng had recognized the arrow's origins. Not only had he stolen the arrow, but he had also wanted more.
"Brother Lu, what do you think?" Wei Rong asked Lu Yin.
Lu Yin could not reveal everything that he knew, so he could only say, "Your guesses are correct, but so what? It won't change the outcome of the battle."
"It can," Wei Rong said confidently.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, as he had forgotten that these two were equally famous as Wang Wen, especially Wei Rong. Even though the disparity in power in Armament Weave had been so great, Wei Rong had still been able to forcefully drag things out. "What ideas do you have?"
Wei Rong and Qiongxi 'er looked at each other. "We can deal a heavy blow to the Sixth Mainland, but the most troublesome part is that once we do that, even stronger reinforcements might arrive. I don't know if that's a blessing or a curse."
"Even if we don't deal a heavy blow to these people, their reinforcements will definitely come." Zhu San rolled his eyes.
Qiongxi 'er patted Zhu San's forehead. "You're right."
Zhu San felt sullen.
Lu Yin looked at Wei Rong.
Wei Rong's gaze was deep. "Brother Lu, do you still remember Pyrolyte?"
Lu Yin's eyes lit up, as he had almost forgotten about it. Right, there was still pyrolyte.
"The Hall of Honor will definitely use pyrolyte in a war like this. The only reason it hasn't been used is because they haven't thought of a suitable way to use it. Since we've already guessed the Sixth Mainland's goal, then things are simple. We'll use Ancestor Arrow Mountain as bait and use pyrolyte to blast them to death." Wei Rong raised his head.
Zhu San was shocked. "Are you crazy? That's Ancestor Arrow Mountain! Don't spout nonsense."
Lu Yin was also shocked. Ancestor Arrow Mountain was an Emissary, and this person was really bold to even use an Emissary as bait. However, it had to be said that it should be effective. The powerhouses of the Sixth Mainland should be keeping an eye on Ancestor Arrow Mountain, and he was indeed the best bait.
Wei Rong ignored Zhu San's shouts and continued to stare at Lu Yin, as if trying to discern something from Lu Yin's eyes.
Lu Yin replied, "It's just a guess, but there's no harm in trying. You guys came to me because you want me to talk to Ancestor Arrow Mountain and the Hall of Honor, right?"
Wei Rong nodded. "There's no other way. With our status, it's very difficult to communicate with the Hall of Honor and Ancestor Arrow Mountain....
