Chapter 71: Beating Li Xun

After the group discussed for a while, they finally came up with the best plan: fire attack!

No, to be precise, it was a "smoke attack"!

There were simply too many bats! —— Even more terrifying was the stench. Exorcising demons and safeguarding the Dao was very important, but if they were accidentally choked to death, no one would be left to do it!

So the group decided to drive the bats out! If they were lucky enough to smoke out the Demonic Sect's people as well, it would be even more worthwhile!

The group immediately took action.

Using their divine weapons, they chopped wood as easily as cutting tofu. Before long, a small mountain of wood was piled up.

Just then, the sounds of people flying with swords came from afar. Everyone turned around and saw three men and one woman, or rather, two bald - headed men and two long - haired ones.

Fa Xiang, Fa Shan, Li Xun, and Yan Hong.

Based on the descriptions in the book, Lin Xing recognized them at a glance.

Fa Xiang had fair and tender skin, looking kind and amiable. He wore a string of Buddhist beads around his neck. Lin Xing probed with his spiritual power and sensed a compassionate and majestic aura. It was indeed the Samsara Beads.

Fa Shan was a big and burly man. If it weren't for his bald head, he could easily be associated with a thug.

Li Xun was somewhat handsome, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes. At first glance, he looked like a fledgling. And the last one, Yan Hong, was somewhat similar to Su Lingfeng in temperament, gentle and elegant. She had a delicate face, long black hair reaching down to her waist, and a slender and frail figure, giving the impression of a delicate beauty.

"So it's the disciples from Tianyin Temple and Fenxiang Valley. I'm Lin Xing from the Qingyun Sect. Greetings!"

The four were a bit startled to see that the one speaking from the Qingyun Sect was such a young man.

Fa Xiang was the first to come to his senses and smiled, saying, "Junior Brother, you're too polite. I'm Fa Xiang. This is..."

As they chatted, they quickly got familiar with each other, and then the conversation turned to those bats.

Apparently, these four had also suffered at the hands of the bats.

"A few of us were also thinking about this plan earlier. However, Wanfu Cave leads gradually underground. If we use smoke, we must use powerful wind - based magic to assist, otherwise the effect won't be obvious." Fa Xiang said after hearing the group's plan.

"That's not a problem! Leave it to me!" Lin Xing patted his chest. He was most proficient in miscellaneous knowledge!

"Junior Brother Lin is really knowledgeable! And he's also proficient in wind - based Daoist arts." Qi Hao smiled obsequiously at the side.

You hypocrite, Qi Hao. Although your words are insincere, they still make me feel so good!

So Lin Xing was about to brag a bit.

"In my opinion, you people from the Qingyun Sect only know some heretical tricks."

Li Xun was a top disciple in Fenxiang Valley. Unlike the Qingyun Sect, which had so many talents, he had developed an arrogant and conceited personality. Seeing that Lin Xing actually spent time studying heretical knowledge, he judged that Lin Xing's Daoist arts were mediocre and became even more bold.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed!

The people behind Lin Xing stepped forward one after another, looking as if they were about to start a fight!

"Wait!" Lin Xing stretched out his hand to stop everyone and said calmly, "How can we from the Qingyun Sect bully the few with the many? I'll handle it."

Li Xun stood there arrogantly, not moving at all, as if he didn't even intend to draw his sword.

"Everyone, the three righteous sects are of one heart. We should - "

"Senior Brother Fa Xiang," Lin Xing directly interrupted Fa Xiang's words, "I'm just going to have a friendly match with Senior Brother Li Xun, just a spar, and - "

Lin Xing walked forward slowly. His spiritual power surged, and everyone felt a huge pressure and couldn't help but use their skills to resist. Li Xun on the opposite side also immediately tightened his grip on his immortal sword.

Fa Xiang sensed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward. But then Lin Xing suddenly pressed his hand on Fa Xiang's shoulder, and Fa Xiang couldn't move at all in an instant.

"And since the other party said that I only know heretical tricks, I'll use heretical tricks."

Li Xun, who had been bearing most of Lin Xing's spiritual pressure, finally couldn't take it anymore. He drew his immortal sword and launched an attack: "Don't look down on me!"

Just as Li Xun had drawn his sword halfway, Lin Xing suddenly moved. His spiritual power rushed into Li Xun's mind in the most primitive and brutal way. There was a loud bang under his feet, and he punched Li Xun hard in the stomach.

"Slap!"

Li Xun's sword hadn't even been fully drawn out when his whole body was sent flying backwards. He flew more than twenty meters and then continued to roll for more than ten meters, covered in mud.

"Cough cough."

After a few coughs, Li Xun got up from the ground in a sorry state, looking at Lin Xing in horror: "Impossible! Impossible!!" He said, and then quickly walked forward. But his feet went soft, and he tripped over a stone and fell to the ground again.

Yan Hong kindly went to help him, but was greeted with a burst of curses from Li Xun.

"A clown will always be a clown. Don't dream of being the protagonist!"

Lin Xing looked down at Li Xun condescendingly and said sarcastically. Insulting the Qingyun Sect? It didn't matter. But daring to look down on him? It was simply courting death!

With his current strength, even if Dao Xuan encountered him, he would have to be cautious. How dare this jumping - beam clown speak so wildly without knowing his own limitations!

"Actually, I'm doing this for your own good. After suffering this loss, you'll take fewer wrong turns in the future. Why can't you understand my good intentions? Look! What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll gouge out your eyes!"

As Lin Xing taunted and scolded, Li Xun's eyes were filled with venom, but he didn't dare to say a word. He was completely scared by Lin Xing's punch.

"Yeah, Junior Brother Lin Xing's punch just now was for your own good." Zeng Shushu came up to persuade patiently. "As the saying goes, 'A punch makes one wiser'. Senior Brother Li Xun, you really made a profit this time. You've understood such a profound boxing technique. Presumably, your Daoist arts will advance greatly soon and you'll surpass us. Next time Junior Brother Lin Xing punches, he probably won't be able to send you flying so far! Alas!!!"

Cruel! You're so cruel! Lin Xing really didn't expect Zeng Shushu to be so sharp - tongued!

"Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Lin is mighty!" Zhang Xiaofan muttered a few words, and then suddenly shouted at the top of his voice. His startled expression, however, showed his excitement at the moment.

Even Lu Xueqi, who didn't get along well with Lin Xing, walked up to him and said indifferently, "Well done."

It seemed that beating up Li Xun was in line with everyone's mentality. Well done! Lin Xing secretly felt proud.

Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Fa Xiang let it go and changed the topic: "Alright, let's get rid of the demons first. The longer we stay, the greater the chance that the Demonic Sect's people will escape."

After beating someone, Lin Xing was in a much better mood. He lit a fire and used several wind - based Daoist arts. The thick smoke drilled into the cave...

"Chirp chirp"

Hordes of bats flew out in a flurry, blotting out the sky and covering the sun. There were so many that it was terrifying!

"Fortunately, we retreated in time!" The people from the Qingyun Sect felt a sense of after fear.

But Lin Xing was depressed. Were bats' reproductive abilities so strong? Last time, there were far fewer!

The black mass of vampire bats rushed out like a tide, gradually thinning out and becoming fewer. Finally, it turned into a trickle. Occasionally, there were still a few dazed ones that fell to the ground as soon as they came out, choking badly.

Seeing that the bats were almost gone, everyone started to prepare to move.

"Senior Brother, should we... still go in?" Yan Hong asked hesitantly on the side. Li Xun's face was still livid.

"Nonsense! Of course we have to go! If the treasures in the Blood - Drop Cave are taken by them, how can we Fenxiang Valley still hold our heads up!?" After saying that, he ignored Yan Hong and angrily followed along.

Yan Hong gently shook her head. Under her delicate eyebrows, it was hard to tell whether it was sadness or helplessness. Her delicate and slender figure was reflected in the firelight, looking extremely charming.
