Becoming a Saint Starts with Copying Martial Arts

Chapter 127 Assassination

Chapter 128 Assassination

Lin Qing frowned. He realized that it was all an illusion. The loud roar just now had a sound entering his ears and distorting his five senses. This was one of the common methods used by the demons of the Yin Yuan Sect. Anyone who had worshipped Hong Xiuniang would use this trick.

He immediately began to secretly circulate the Tathagata Fist Sutra, his whole body surging with energy, and his skin glowing with a golden light.

In that instant, the ghostly claws on his body vanished, and the illusions surrounding him twisted and distorted before finally shattering with a crash.

"The human body is like a furnace, with vital energy and blood like flames that can burn away evil. Therefore, those with strong physiques are not afraid of evil spirits or sinister magic!"

Lin Qing murmured, his gaze sharpening as he locked onto a figure on a house ahead. The figure was dressed like an ordinary fisherman, but his reddened eyes and the surging killing intent emanating from him proved that he was a demon from the Yin Yuan Sect.

Immediately afterwards, figures appeared from the other three directions of the courtyard, directly surrounding Lin Qing and his group of five.

Lin Qing glanced around and saw that Wei Dong's face was full of struggle, clearly still immersed in the illusion and needing time to break free. The other three constables, due to their weak strength, had already fainted.

"Attack! Kill him, then retreat immediately!"

The fisherman let out a low shout, drew his knife, and leaped down from the air, charging fiercely towards Lin Qing.

When the two were less than twenty paces apart, he let out another long howl, and tried to use the same move as before to distort Lin Qing's five senses.

However, this time Lin Qing was protected by his own strength, making him completely immune to the illusionary sound attack. The illusion appeared and disappeared in an instant, and he returned to the real world in just a moment.

"die!"

The fisherman, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, swung his blade toward Lin Qing's head.

Lin Qing reached out and grabbed the blade in mid-air.

The fisherman's expression changed drastically. He couldn't bring himself to cut down the knife. Lin Qing's hands were like iron clamps, firmly holding the knife in his palm. No matter how hard he tried to pull the knife out or press down, it wouldn't budge.

Immediately afterwards, he witnessed a horrifying scene: Lin Qing suddenly exerted force with his palm, and the steel knife abruptly shattered, turning into countless fragments that scattered and flew in all directions.

Just as he was about to retreat, Lin Qing threw a punch that struck him squarely in the chest.

Bang!

His protective energy net collapsed in an instant, and his entire body exploded as if hit by a rapidly flying meteorite, turning into a cloud of blood mist.

"Useless thing, you dare to assassinate me with your mere True Qi Realm cultivation? This punch has the force of 500,000 jin, can you withstand it?" Lin Qing sneered.

The blade that this man slashed out was covered with a layer of crimson energy, which was qi, therefore, this fisherman was a martial artist of the True Qi Realm.

However, his combat strength was no match for Lin Qing's. Lin Qing didn't even use his internal energy; he easily shattered Lin Qing's body with just his fists and feet.

At this moment, a gust of wind came from behind Lin Qing, and suddenly a heavy hammer struck his back, and he was then bounced away by the force of the shockwave from the net.

Lin Qing turned around and saw a bald, burly man with an earring staring at him with a horrified look. The force of the impact of the hammer blow was so great that he couldn't even hold onto the heavy hammer.

This shows that Lin Qing's protective strength has reached an unbelievable level.

The next instant, Lin Qing's claw shot out, swift as lightning, and the bald, burly man felt a sharp pain in his chest as it was pierced through.

Just as he was about to fight back, he saw a ball of flame rise from Lin Qing's palm, suddenly engulfing his body and burning him to ashes.

"罡气!"

The remaining two stopped in their tracks and both let out a gasp.

Depending on the martial artist's skill level, the effects of Qi are varied and unpredictable. Some can transform it into flames, some can condense it into frost, and some can imbue weapons with deadly poison.

What Lin Qing just demonstrated was the technique of transforming qi into flames.

At that moment, both of them felt a strong sense of fear, because before they set off, they had been told that Lin Qing was only a Dan Jin martial artist, and that he was able to fight against a Zhen Gang Jin martial artist only because he had practiced multiple low-level cultivation methods and possessed various kinds of strength.

But now that Lin Qing has displayed techniques only those at the True Qi Realm have, they immediately feel greatly deceived.

Moreover, Lin Qing's combat power was clearly too terrifying; he was able to instantly kill two True Qi Realm martial artists.

"escape!"

The two turned to leave, but how could Lin Qing let them go? He used his lightness skill to chase after one of them on the left, and a cloud of blue energy rose from his body, increasing his speed once again.

The man heard another whistling wind behind him, and he stopped in his tracks. His flesh and blood swelled, and his physical strength increased greatly.

He suddenly turned around and threw a punch at Lin Qing, with deep purple energy swirling around his fist.

However, Lin Qing was faster and struck him in the chest with a punch. The force of the punch exploded, instantly creating a large hole, blood spurting out, before being burned to ashes by the rising flames.

Before he died, the man's eyes were wide open. He couldn't understand why Lin Qing had two kinds of qi.

No matter how many kinds of internal energy a martial artist cultivated before, once they enter the True Qi Realm, they will only have one type of internal energy, which is related to their main cultivation technique.

Lin Qing first unleashed his fiery aura, and now a blue aura swirled around his body, clearly indicating that it was the second type of aura, which had an accelerating effect, defying common sense.

He was unaware of the power of the Unity of Heaven Technique, which could unleash Unity Force, transforming it into Unity Qi, which could be infinitely varied and its effects could be changed at will according to the actual situation, thereby greatly enhancing a martial artist's combat ability.

Lin Qing also intended to use these people as practice. While chasing the last person, he changed his aura once again. The cyan aura that swirled around him like a gentle breeze suddenly changed its attributes and turned into purple aura like lightning.

With the support of this thunderous aura, his speed increased dramatically, even faster than the speed boost brought by the previous wind aura. As if teleporting, he suddenly appeared in front of the fleeing assassin.

The latter was startled at first, then his eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce light, and he opened his mouth to suck at Lin Qing.

Lin Qing suddenly felt a chill in his body, as if his blood and qi were about to be uncontrollably sucked away from his body.

In that instant, he transformed his aura, from Thunderclap Aura to Tathagata Aura, and suddenly golden energy surrounded him, as if he were standing in the midst of a great sun.

"what!"

The assassin who charged at him struck him on the shoulder with a palm, but Lin Qing was unharmed. Instead, the flesh on the assassin's palm suddenly turned charred and carbonized.

This is the domineering nature of Tathagata's Qi. All evil and strange things that come into contact with this Qi will melt away like ice and snow. The people of Yin Xuan Sect, who are half-human and half-ghost, are naturally restrained.

Lin Qing reached out and grabbed the man's neck, then with a sudden burst of strength, slammed him to the ground. He then delivered a palm strike to the man's neck, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

Lin Qing did not use his full strength or mobilize his internal energy in this palm strike.

He wanted to capture the man alive and get to the bottom of things, because he felt everything was too coincidental.

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, four assassins lay in ambush outside, as if they had set a trap for him to fall into.

He felt that there must be a traitor within the Soul Suppression Division who had leaked his whereabouts beforehand.

Leaving one person alive makes it easier to interrogate them and also to have them serve as a witness.

If his guess is correct, he can follow the clues and find the traitor within the Soul Suppression Division.
