Zhao Lin used his water-bending technique with all his strength, like a javelin, arriving in front of the Di An Sect monk in the blink of an eye.
A cold light flashed from his hand, and the iron ruler pierced the opponent's chest.
"Who are you?"
The Di An Sect monk asked with difficulty as he spurted blood from his mouth.
"Your ancestors!"
Zhao Lin pulled out the iron ruler and stabbed him in the abdomen with his backhand, causing him to die in the same way as Fu Dong.
"Brother Zhao..."
Tao Yan looked at the floating corpse and opened his mouth in surprise.
The entire process from Zhao Lin's attack to the execution of the Dark Sect cultivator took only a few breaths. Tao Yan was so shocked that he was so swift and ruthless.
Just after using the Thunder Blade Technique, Zhao Lin felt exhausted and immediately took out a spiritual bead to restore his spiritual power.
He easily tore off the sect emblem on the chest of the underground monk and put it into a locked bag.
Tao Yan was stunned for a while, and finally came to his senses. He gave a solemn salute to Zhao Lin, then grabbed a handful of spirit beads from the lock bag and said, "For saving my life, I will give you all these spirit beads within Mingganwu." .”
After escaping from death, he also figured out that no good deeds or spiritual stones were as important as life.
Zhao Lin waved his hand and said: "No need, I take it kindly."
Tao Yan shook his head vigorously and said in a very sincere tone: "Brother Zhao, please accept it!"
Zhao Lin didn't insist anymore, "Okay, then I'm not polite." After saying that, he put the spirit beads in his bag.
Most of Tao Yancai's spiritual beads are fourth- and fifth-grade, and there is only one third-grade spiritual pearl that can be redeemed for good deeds.
Speaking of which, the two of them had been busy all night, and the good deeds they accumulated were not as good as killing an Earthly Dark Sect monk.
Zhao Lin took a look at the body and found a semicircular lock bag around his waist, so he pulled it off.
Tao Yan saw this and swam far away in a wise manner.
Zhao Lin placed the lock bag under a rock, made a mark on it with an iron ruler, and prepared to take it back to the island when the mission was over.
The sect has a way to open the locked bag. If there is something valuable inside, you can also get a reward.
As for the corpse, it was difficult to burn it in the sea, so Zhao Lin didn't bother to deal with it, so he kicked it outside the Pearl Beach and let it float away with the undercurrent.
"Brother Zhao, I didn't expect you to be so secretive. If I'm not mistaken, the Ice Blade Technique and Waterbending Technique are both at the Great Level, and the Thunder Spell is at least the Minor Level."
Tao Yan appeared again and praised endlessly, "What a benefit! If I had known earlier, I should have stayed with you. There is no need to be afraid of a surprise attack by the Dark Sect monks."
The light at the bottom of the sea was dim. Although Tao Yan could not see clearly, he could sense the fluctuations in mana and roughly guess the spells Zhao Lin had used.
"Fellow Tao Dao, you're a compliment. The Di An Sect is good at water fighting. The person I killed may not be the strongest among them."
Zhao Lin smiled lightly and said unconcernedly.
"No prizes at all!"
Tao Yan shook his head and said sternly: "This person dares to go deep into the realm of our clan alone and has the ability to ambush Fu Dong. How can he be an ordinary person?"
"Brother Zhao's ice sword technique is almost intact in the water, which is equivalent to two master-level spells. With such strength, as long as he is not surrounded, he can walk sideways in Yongdeng Sands!"
"I'm not a crab, how can I walk sideways?"
Zhao Lin joked casually, but he also heard this sentence and thought about it secretly.
Air trapping and flaming arrows are extremely restricted in the sea. There are three master-level spells that he can use: ice knife, rock armor, and waterbending.
Although the Thunder Blade Technique is only at the master level, it is even more powerful than the Dacheng Level Ice Blade Technique.
Waterbending is the most difficult to practice. Other spells can also be practiced on land. Waterbending can only be practiced in water, and the higher the level, the higher the requirements for water bodies.
If you want to master the art of waterbending at an advanced level, you must practice it in large rivers or the sea for many years.
"Maybe... I underestimated myself."
Zhao Lin's cultivation had just broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and he subconsciously didn't realize how much stronger he had become. However, all his spells were upgraded from master level to master level, and his strength was completely different from before.
In the Qi Refining Realm, he is definitely considered outstanding. After all, a magic genius like Miao Kefa is rare in a century.
However, he was not dazzled by the compliments and still planned to collect the spirit beads with peace of mind.
If you encounter a lone Earth Dark Sect monk, you may try to kill him.
"Brother Zhao, where are you going next?"
Seeing that Zhao Lin remained silent, Tao Yan asked tentatively.
"There are not many spirit beads left in Kuimutan. Let's rest here for one night and move to another place tomorrow."
Zhao Lin thought for a while and said.
"It makes sense, let's do it!"
Tao Yan said yes repeatedly and made up his mind that he would go wherever Zhao Lin went, putting his life first.
As night falls, the seabed becomes quiet.
Zhao Lin was lurking in a pile of rocks, surrounded by long seaweed, and his location was quite hidden.
There is a hidden stake mechanism next to it. If someone wants to sneak attack, a spell attack will be triggered if they are not careful.
Tao Yan rested at the entrance of the rock pile, somewhat guarding the gate.
Zhao Lin thought that although this person was timid, he could act well and not be annoying.
There was no conversation all night, and the two of them just floated to the sea to rest for a while.
The next morning, Zhao Lin continued to search for spiritual beads in Kuimutan, and his harvest was obviously much less than last night.
Clam demons and shell demons are timid by nature. Once disturbed, they will escape from the floating sand on the bottom of the sea and move to other bead beaches.
Two quarters of an hour later, seeing that there was no more harvest, Zhao Lin said to Tao Yan, who had been following him: "Let's go, this is no longer suitable for collecting spirit beads."
Tao Yan agreed readily, "Okay, where shall we go?"
Zhao Lin already had a plan in mind and said, "Di Tutan."
Hearing this, Tao Yan's expression changed slightly and he hesitated: "Di Tutan is the Pearl Beach closest to the Di An Sect. Isn't it a bit risky?"
"Our Pearl Beach is protected by mechanisms. What are we afraid of?"
Zhao Lin said without comment.
Di Tutan is the second largest pearl beach. It is not large in area, but it is rich in spiritual pearl resources and has many mechanisms arranged. Zhao Lin is not worried about the danger.
And he also wanted to see if Tao Yan was willing to follow him. If the other party was unwilling to go, he would take the opportunity to get away and feel at ease.
Tao Yan thought for a while, but still didn't dare to stay alone, "Let's go, I'll go with you."
The two left Kuimu Beach and swam towards Ditu Beach.
Ditu Beach is not far from Kuimu Beach, and you can reach it in less than two-quarters of an hour by using proficient level waterbending skills.
Zhao Lin deliberately slowed down so that Tao Yan could keep up with him, but kept scanning the surrounding sea area with ultrasonic waves.
Halfway through the journey, Zhao Lin stopped.
Because he found that four people were coming from the opposite side. If he didn't stop, the two sides would collide soon.
The formation of these four people is very special. The three people in front are standing in an inverted "pin" shape, and there is one person in the back on one side, which seems to be surrounded and killed.
According to the outline of the human body reflected by the ultrasonic waves, these four people all have long knives hanging on their waists. The water-repelling spell is also the Fubo technique that the Diandan Sect is good at.
Tao Yan didn't know why and asked, "Why don't you leave?"
"There are underground monks in front of us, let's hide for a while."
"Ah, how many people?"
"Four!"
Tao Yan grinned and hurriedly followed Zhao Lin to one side to get out of the way.
Waterbending skills are also kept to a minimum to prevent people from the Earthly Dark Sect from detecting fluctuations in mana.
Zhao Lin's previous performance convinced him that he didn't even raise any questions.
Not long after, four Di An Sect monks passed by where Zhao Lin and Tao Yan were just now and swam towards Kuimutan.
Every few breaths, a dharma seal formed on the hands of the four people, as if they were looking for someone.
Zhao Lin observed silently and speculated that the Di An Sect also had communication spells similar to the Tianji Seal. He thought to himself: "The person they are looking for is probably the one I killed last night!"
This is exactly what happened. The Dian Sect monk Zhao Lin killed was named Cang Zhen, and this group of people was Qingchi and others who had been looking for him all the way.
Four Earthly Dark Sect monks came to Kuimutan and circled outside, forming seals continuously, but they never received a response.
"What's going on? Is this guy dead?"
The leader, Qingchi, finally couldn't help but change his color suddenly, turned around and said: "Nagaze, didn't you say that Cang Zhen won't go far? Why did I find no one in three pearl beaches?"
Nagasawa's face fell, and he defended: "That's what Cangzhen said. He said it's near Ditu Beach, and the furthest point is no further than Kuimu Beach."
"Where is that person?"
"have no idea."
At this time, another monk suddenly interjected: "You think Cang Zhen... won't have any accidents, right?"
Qingchi glared at him, "How is that possible!"
"Cangzhen Fubo Technique is a proficient level, and its speed is not inferior to that of Dacheng-level waterbending. Do monks from the Chenghua Sect have this ability?"
Having said this, Qingchi suddenly felt something. He looked up and saw a shadow through the dim light shining on the sea.
The other three people also raised their heads.
The four of them said nothing. They floated up through the water and saw Cang Zhen's body.
"Cang Zhen...is dead?"
Nagasawa said with a look of disbelief.
Qingchi carefully inspected the body with a solemn expression, "Judging from the wound, Cang Zhen was hit by a blunt object. It should be a heavy magic weapon."
He didn't know that Zhao Lin was a martial arts cultivator, so he came up with this speculation.
"I didn't expect that there is such a person in Chenghua Sect who can kill Cang Zhen in the sea."
Nagasawa couldn't believe it, "Is it possible that he used the underwater mechanism?"
Qingchi shook his head, "You can't tell, there are no other wounds on the body."
Nagasawa was silent for a moment and asked, "What should we do next?"
"what to do?"
Qingchi's face turned ferocious, "Just retaliate, just kill him! Isn't that the purpose of our coming here?"
…
"Luckily, no one has been here before."
Zhao Lin and Tao Yan came to Ditutan and found that the spiritual pearl resources here were quite rich.
In just half an hour, he harvested one second-grade spiritual bead, six third-grade spiritual beads, and too many fourth-grade and fifth-grade spiritual beads to count.
Tao Yan did not fight or grab, but only collected some low-grade spiritual beads. If he found those of third-grade or above, he took the initiative to offer them to Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin finally figured out that this man just wanted to spend money to keep himself safe, so he accepted the offer without any courtesy.
In the evening, the spiritual beads in Di Tutan had been basically cleaned up, and the two decided to change to another bead beach.
When they came to the border of Zhutan, they unexpectedly found another body floating in the distance.
Who died?
Zhao Lin and Tao Yan swam to the corpse in confusion, and when they saw the appearance of the deceased clearly, they couldn't help but take a breath at the same time. (End of chapter)
