Chapter 052 Moon Night Murderer
"The bodies are still warm, so they haven't been dead for very long." Lin Fei bent down and touched the bodies. They were still warm, indicating that they had died before Lin Fei and his group arrived.
Lin Fei originally intended to kill these guys right there by the cold pool, but he didn't expect them to run so fast and even set up a maze, which delayed Lin Fei's pursuit.
Who would have thought that man proposes, God disposes? These guys still died in the end, and they died right before they entered the Jade Emperor Sect's mountain gate.
"These guys are dead?" Minglan covered her mouth. "Won't Xingzhi Temple think we killed them? We need to get out of here quickly!"
"Don't worry, no matter how outrageous that old Taoist priest Yuanzhen is, he wouldn't dare to frame us like this." Lin Fei carefully examined the corpses and found that their joints were broken, and their deaths were extremely gruesome: "All their joints were broken, and they were directly crushed by someone using the Vajra Finger technique. Such a method is not the martial art of my Jade Emperor Sect."
Although Minglan's martial arts skills were not high, his knowledge was slightly better than Lin Fei's: "In the martial arts world, the only martial arts that are famous for this kind of technique are the Vajra Finger Technique of the Vajra Heavenly Wheel Temple, one of the three major sects of Buddhism, and the Asura Heaven-Slaying Finger of the Great Zen Asura Temple, one of the eight evil sects."
Lin Fei nodded, his expression somewhat grave: "There's only one path into the deep valley from here, and we didn't notice anyone else on our way here. These guys just died recently, so it seems the people who killed them haven't gone far. We'd better be careful."
Lin Fei's expression suddenly changed as soon as he finished speaking: "Be careful!"
He lunged forward, grabbed Minglan by the waist, and threw her a considerable distance. At the same time, a flash of cold light flew past Lin Fei's hair and embedded itself in the ground.
Minglan was suddenly embraced by Lin Fei, her pretty face flushed red. Just as she was about to complain to Lin Fei, she suddenly saw the cold light stuck in the ground and her expression changed drastically: "It's the Asura Heart-Destroying Dart from the Great Zen Asura Temple!"
"The Great Zen Asura Temple? How dare these heretics run rampant in my Jade Emperor Sect's territory?" Lin Fei stood up, his gaze fixed intently on the distance. "Come out, or do you expect me to drag you out?"
"Hehe, you little Taoist priest, you're quite impressive compared to those previous good-for-nothings!" A bald monk dressed in a red short robe emerged from a distance.
The monk had a face full of fierce features, and his brows were filled with a menacing aura. He didn't seem like a Buddhist at all. He said with a half-smile, "This humble monk is Baoguang from the Great Zen Asura Temple. I'll send you two benefactors on your way!"
"Senior sister, step back!" Lin Fei had already taken out the Heaven-Stealing Sword and was holding it in his hand. This bald monk seemed to be much more powerful than Ming Bao and the others.
Red true energy emanated from the hands of the monk Baoguang, condensing between his ten fingers. His fingers constantly shifted, each one resembling a steel blade. Lin Fei could smell the stench of blood even from a distance.
"Asura Heaven-Slaying Finger?" Lin Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the evil monk's hands: "I heard that your Great Zen Asura Temple's Asura Heaven-Slaying Finger is a technique stolen from the Vajra Finger Method of Tantric Buddhism, and cultivated with human blood. Truly a vicious martial art!"
"Amitabha! Young benefactor, you do have good taste." Monk Baoguang sneered, "This humble monk's Asura Heaven-Slaying Finger is specifically designed to break through protective true energy. Benefactor, rest assured on your journey. With fellow disciples like you accompanying you, you will not be alone on your way to the Yellow Springs!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of blood-red light appeared in the sky. The evil monk's true energy was completely blood-red, and it was unknown how many innocent lives he had taken.
"What a wicked monk! Today, I, this humble Taoist, will act on behalf of Heaven and punish you, you villain!" Lin Fei sneered, his longsword transforming into a streak of light: "Cultivation Sword!"
Lin Fei's longsword, like a dragon, pierced through the blood-red protective aura of Monk Baoguang. In an instant, Monk Baoguang's eyes became dazed.
Evil cultivators are inherently prone to gossip and do not cultivate their minds. Lin Fei's Mind-Cultivating Sword Technique is precisely the nemesis of this evil monk!
In just a moment of distraction, Lin Fei's Heaven-Stealing Sword had already pierced through the protective true energy of Monk Baoguang. This Heaven-Stealing Sword was a weapon of the Thousand-Hammer Treasure level. Even the White Serpent, a high-level demon weapon, was no match for the sharp Heaven-Stealing Sword, let alone Monk Baoguang.
Although this wicked monk was morally flawed, his cultivation was quite impressive. Lin Fei's Mind-Cultivating Sword Technique only caused him to lose his senses for a moment before he regained his senses.
"You brat, what kind of martial arts are you using?" Seeing the longsword almost reaching his throat, Monk Baoguang cried out in alarm and hurriedly turned his hand to protect himself, trying to deflect Lin Fei's longsword with his palm filled with true energy.
"Ah!" Blood flashed, and Monk Baoguang screamed in agony as one of his hands was severed by the Heaven-Stealing Sword. Although his hands had been tempered a thousand times and could cut through gold like paper, how could they possibly withstand the Heaven-Stealing Sword, a weapon of the highest caliber?
"A thousand-hammered treasure? You actually have a thousand-hammered treasure!" Monk Baoguang exclaimed, clutching his blood-soaked palm, and ran away.
Incredibly bizarre martial arts, a divine weapon of the thousand-times-hammered treasure level. Good heavens, how could we encounter such a creature in this remote valley? Could it be that those Taoist priests from the Jade Emperor Sect have already caught up with us?
Without a second thought, Monk Baoguang hurriedly ran off into the distance.
"Hmph, trying to run?" Lin Fei sneered. He flicked his longsword and chased after him with a single strike.
"Ding!"
"Killing Monk Baoguang, punishing evil and promoting good, I have gained 4,000 merit points, 4,000 martial arts cultivation points, and 4,000 experience points!"
……
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, you have opened two acupoints. The current number of acupoints opened is 130!"
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a fragment of the Body Tempering Realm martial arts manual—the Asura Heaven-Slaying Finger!"
……
The Heaven-Stealing Sword pierced right through Monk Baoguang's protective aura, leaving him utterly pierced. At the same time, a series of system notifications rang in Lin Fei's mind.
"My God, just how many evil deeds did this monk Baoguang commit to deserve such a generous reward?" Upon hearing the system notification, Lin Fei couldn't help but gasp in astonishment—although this monk Baoguang possessed extraordinary cultivation, the reward was far too generous.
It seems this guy has committed too many evil deeds, which is why the system issued such a generous reward after killing him.
Before Lin Fei could even rejoice over the generous reward, he felt a sudden dizziness and almost collapsed.
"Junior brother, what's wrong?" Minglan rushed over and helped Lin Fei up, asking anxiously.
"It's alright, it's alright." Lin Fei waved his hand, took a deep breath, and calmed the surging blood in his chest: "This evil monk has committed too many evil deeds, and his bloody aura is too strong, which has agitated my internal energy."
