In fact, Lin Xing had long realized that Sixth Brother was no ordinary person!
When it came to the position of the leader of the Qingyun Sect, the head of the righteous path, in the final analysis, the most suitable candidate was actually this fox! As for Xiao Yicai? There was simply no comparison!
Because the Six - Tailed Fox had honed the art of public speaking, which was essential for all previous sect leaders, to an ultimate level. Even that old Daoist Xuan, when compared with him, was far inferior!
He could speak continuously and fluently, like a flowing stream.
He had clearly promised to give Lin Xing something wonderful, yet he rambled on about all sorts of irrelevant things. By then, it was almost noon!
"Sixth Brother, what on earth is it?"
The Six - Tailed Fox furtively reached into his bosom and took out a long stalk of grass. There was only a single leaf at the top, and below it was a thick stem.
"The Yang - Restoring Grass!?"
Lin Xing suddenly exclaimed, looking at the Six - Tailed Fox in surprise, his heart filled with a complex mix of emotions.
Should he kill him right now?
Once the Six - Tailed Fox recovered, relying on the bond between him and the Three - Tailed Fox, Lin Xing's chances would be extremely slim!
However, if he killed him, he would be entangled with the Three - Tailed Fox for a long time. Well, perhaps it was better to wait and see for now!
The Six - Tailed Fox gave Lin Xing a meaningful look and smiled, saying, "I never expected that, Little Lin Xing, you and I are actually like - minded people!" Then he winked lasciviously and handed over the stalk of grass.
"Here you are. How about it? Isn't your Sixth Brother being generous?"
Lin Xing felt rather uncomfortable. Holding the Yang - Restoring Grass, he hesitated.
Since the Six - Tailed Fox had given him such a precious thing, should he still kill him?
Or perhaps—Lin Xing gave a lascivious smile, but his heart was filled with extreme caution. "Sixth Brother, you didn't eat the best part yourself and give me the inferior one, did you?"
His spiritual power unconsciously spread out, keeping track of every move of the Six - Tailed Fox. Lin Xing thought he was really a scoundrel, but that was just a fleeting thought. Deep down, he felt no guilt at all.
Was this still the person he used to be?
His mental power was like a vast net, binding the Six - Tailed Fox. The Six - Tailed Fox's spiritual power had long been completely depleted by the "Nine - Condensed Ice Thorn". Even if his injuries were healed, he wouldn't have much spiritual power left. He couldn't detect Lin Xing's actions at all.
Once he received an affirmative answer, Lin Xing would kill him without hesitation, leaving no chance!
It was cruel!
But it was necessary!!
His spiritual power was in intense turmoil, indicating Lin Xing's restlessness at this moment. However, Lin Xing believed that if that were the case, he would still not hesitate!
Lin Xing looked at the Six - Tailed Fox, waiting for his answer.
The Six - Tailed Fox pondered for a long time and suddenly said, "Xing'er, I entrust your Third Sister - in - law to you!"
Raising his head, the Six - Tailed Fox's eyes were firm and persistent, with a hint of tears, showing an emotion known as pleading.
Pleading!
Lin Xing was immediately at a loss. His spiritual power stirred slightly, creating a gentle breeze.
Could he have been discovered?
Impossible! How could he have discovered it!?
Even if he had discovered it, he shouldn't have taken the initiative to say it. That would be courting death! The Six - Tailed Fox knew something about Lin Xing's strength, and he wouldn't be that stupid!
The Six - Tailed Fox raised his head, his hoarse voice devoid of any strength, like a broken string. "Your Sixth Brother is a useless man, a man who is unable to perform sexual functions."
He said it frankly, without the slightest hint of embarrassment. Lin Xing looked at him in surprise, feeling a bit confused about the situation.
Hadn't the Yang - Restoring Grass been found?
The Six - Tailed Fox seemed to have guessed what Lin Xing was thinking and continued in a low voice, "The Yang - Restoring Grass can restore yang energy, but it's of little use to me. My vitality has long been exhausted, and I only have about a year left to live. If I were to take the Yang - Restoring Grass that stimulates potential, I'm afraid I would die within a few days."
"If it weren't for you, Xing'er, I would probably already be dead."
The Six - Tailed Fox raised his head, and his dim eyes seemed unusually bright in the morning light. "Those who are alive should not be burdened by the dead! Your Third Sister is still young!"
The Six - Tailed Fox firmly grasped Lin Xing's hand, along with the stalk of Yang - Restoring Grass. The meaning behind it was obvious.
Lin Xing was suddenly lost in thought.
Had he really entrusted the Three - Tailed Fox to him directly?
Did he trust him so much?
But he had actually wanted to kill him before?
He had actually wanted to kill him!?
Wasn't he a beast? Ah!!?
But he felt no guilt at all, not even the slightest bit!!!
Had he really won?
Lin Xing shuddered suddenly!!
Could that mysterious will have predicted this situation? Although it was no longer there, its will and character had been inherited by him!
He was becoming less and less like his former self and was gradually moving closer to another way of thinking!
Was this "me" still the "me" I used to be!??
Aaaaaah???????
His spiritual power suddenly whipped up a storm, violently shaking the surroundings. The Six - Tailed Fox's hand that was reaching for Lin Xing was immediately flung away!
What exactly am I?
Am I still myself?
Lin Xing couldn't be sure!!
Really couldn't be sure!!!
Tian Linger, Su Ru, Jin Ping'er, Bi Yao, the Three - Tailed Fox, San Niang, Wen Min... All the people he had come into contact with flashed through Lin Xing's mind like a revolving lantern.
What would his former self have done?
What would his current self do!!
Was he really still himself?
Lin Xing turned his head and looked at the Six - Tailed Fox. Spiritual energy surged around him, and various strange phenomena such as mountain torrents, tsunamis, heavy rains, glaciers, and thunder and lightning intertwined... His momentum rose step by step.
Kill him!
Don't kill him!
Kill him!
Don't kill him!
Two conflicting beliefs fought in his mind, and the energy in his entire body broke free from its constraints and became chaotic once again. The spiritual energy of three Daoist magic techniques, the blue chakra from the Naruto world, and several pure white, almost invisible strands of inner energy.
Even that powerful spiritual power joined the battle! The yin and yang spiritual energy in the Sharingan, the fluid and changeable artistic conception like water, the violent artistic conception like thunder, and many subtle artistic conceptions, as well as Daoist magic and ninja techniques of various attributes, all clashed together!!
Once again, he fell into the clutches of his inner demons!!
But this time, it was Lin Xing himself who entered this state, not induced by external forces! Lin Xing's mind was violently shaken, and he desperately resisted, determined not to lose control!!
He could die, he could be killed, but he couldn't lose his true self!!!
Absolutely not!!!
His spiritual power twisted into a swirling vortex, flowing desperately to regain the last glimmer of clarity in his mind. Lin Xing struggled hard. He couldn't! He couldn't fail!!
Kill him! Don't kill him! Kill him! Don't kill him! …
He resisted with all his might! But Lin Xing's will could only maintain a little clarity and was hard - pressed to hold on. Suddenly, a faint aura rose in his mind, and a familiar scene flashed into his mind: The Way of Heaven is within Me!!
Resolute, magnificent, and unwavering!!!
Weren't these the words in the Cave of Ten Thousand Bats?
An unprecedented aura emanated from it, and Lin Xing's mind and spirit gradually calmed down. In an instant, he seemed to understand, yet also didn't seem to understand!
Kill him?
Don't kill him?
Was this really important? Did he need to be torn?
If the Six - Tailed Fox had taken the Yang - Restoring Grass, he would naturally kill him without mercy!
Since he hadn't taken it and had even given it to him, of course, he should be grateful and let him continue to live.
So what if he wasn't the same as his former self?
Decisions of life and death were all determined by his own thoughts.
If he hoped for something and liked it, then he should do it!
If he didn't like it, he shouldn't do it!
Did he really need to be conflicted?
What kind of person he was now and what kind of person he used to be, was that really important?
What was important was what kind of "me" he hoped to become!
What kind of "me" was his goal to be!!
All the turmoil suddenly subsided. Lin Xing's aura vanished in an instant, and then suddenly rose again the next moment. He was completely different from before!
This was a more resolute, more definite, and more powerful aura!!!
This was the Upper Clear Realm!
