Chapter 25
Qi Condensation Level 7, Perfect Return!
late at night.
A burly man with a broad face and deep-set eyes walked up to the silent mountain peak. He looked around and then put on a human skin mask.
This time, he set his sights on another big fat sheep!
He was not even twenty years old yet, and he was so extravagant that he could easily buy the Suhan Green Sinking Spear. He must be from a wealthy family and had a lot of silver notes on him.
They were foolish and unshrewd, coming to the black market without guards and leaving without following the crowd.
He would be kicking himself if he missed out on such a lucrative opportunity!
The burly man quickened his pace, and the two were only forty paces apart, with the blue-robed figure already visible from behind.
"Young man, please wait a moment."
Gu Lin stopped, his eyes showing vigilance.
The burly man strode after him, his laughter ringing out:
"I'm short of money and would like to borrow a few taels of silver from you, young man."
Gu Lin deliberately took a few steps back.
The burly man pressed forward relentlessly, his smile vanishing, replaced by a chilling aura. He unleashed his inner energy, revealing himself to be at the eighth level of the Qi Condensation Realm!
Gu Lin looked around and saw that the small valley in the distance could block his view, so he ran away as fast as he could.
The burly man's gaze was mocking as he strolled leisurely.
How can a lamb escape the claws of a tiger?
You don't even understand the principle of not flaunting your wealth. You deserve to be taught a lesson, but this time the lesson will cost you your life!
Robbery and murder are his rules of conduct; he absolutely cannot allow any hidden dangers to remain!
He ran into the valley, where the big man was only ten paces away.
Gu Lin had nowhere to escape.
He took the token out of his collar.
The burly man's pupils contracted sharply at the sight of the token.
This is a seed token issued by the ghostwriter!
Is this person actually a top player from a certain county?
The burly man was struck dumb, his expression frozen like iron.
He was making a difficult decision.
Should I turn around and run away?
But what if this kid retaliates afterward?
Since this kid is a seeded player, he couldn't possibly be so careless and foolish. What is his purpose in deliberately drawing me here?
Just as the great man was in a state of great distress, the Three Yangs Extinction Claw Mark silently descended.
At the same time, Gu Lin used the Lingbo Weibu technique, taking advantage of the opponent's uneasy state of mind, and leaped into the air to launch a fierce and powerful series of eighteen kicks!
"Not good!" The big man's hair stood on end. He instinctively twisted his body, using his powerful internal energy to dispel the scorching aura.
"Ugh..."
However, he was a beat too slow in reacting. Although he managed to avoid a vital spot, the claw mark grazed his waist, tearing and burning a piece of flesh.
Just as he looked up in pain, a thunderous sound suddenly rang out, and the Nine Heavens Thunder God's Leg was almost upon him, delivering a powerful kick to his shoulder.

With his entire shoulder broken, the big man staggered and fell, his face contorted in pain.
Gu Lin gave him no chance to catch his breath, and delivered another Three Yang Severing Strike, as sharp and swift as the claws of a fierce eagle, tearing open his chest and ripping off a piece of charred flesh.
"Spare me..." The big man clutched his chest, writhing and rolling around in agony, tears streaming down his face.
Gu Lin's face was grim. He gathered his strength and kicked the man's head, smashing it open in a bloody and terrifying scene.
Suppressing the eighth level of the Qi Condensation Realm with ease!
Of course, there are also techniques for ambushing, such as unleashing a thunderous attack when the opponent sees the token and is at a loss!
If it were a head-on battle, Gu Lin would also be confident, but it would require a lot of internal energy and effort.
Instantly, Gu Lin saw specks of golden light appear before his eyes, which converged into the three large characters "Book of Merit".
[Defeat the villain of the ninth rank (Bing Jiu Xing) and receive a reward of a max-level Thousand Hands Tathagata Palm!]
[Martial Arts Merit Points: 3032/4000]
[Confucian and Taoist Merit Points: 359/1000]
[Merit Points in Taoist Arts: 0/1000]
[Witchcraft Merit Points: 0/1000]
In an instant.
The acupoints inside his body buzzed, and a tremendous force, like a dam bursting, surged into his meridians. The dantian thumped twice, like the most beautiful melody in the world, and the internal energy in his dantian surged again.
Qi Condensation Realm, Seventh Level!
Gu Lin quickly focused his mind, and the movements of the Thousand Hands Tathagata Palm appeared in his mind.
"That's a great idea!" Gu Lin exclaimed with delight.
The max-level Thousand Hands Tathagata Palm, while not able to transform into a thousand palms, can still multiply from one palm into two, two into four, and condense into thirty-two palms within three breaths. The palm shadows dance and transform into a wall of palms, while only one solid palm, overwhelming and unstoppable, remains!
This move is both offensive and defensive!
The palm wall can be used for both defense and a violent attack!
Gu Lin looked down at the corpse on the ground and said with a smile:
"You really helped me a lot!"
That being said, Gu Lin felt only extreme disgust for those who were utterly wicked.
He tore off the corpse's clothes and took out seven silver notes stained with blood.
Money is innocent.
He deftly took out the silver notes, totaling three hundred and fifty taels.
He spent money on the black market, and this person reimbursed him.
"It feels so good." Gu Lin leaped lightly, exuding confidence.
He has now mastered seven martial arts techniques.
The five martial arts styles are: Xuanming Divine Palm, Nine Heavens Thunder God Leg, Three Yang Extinction Seal, Want to Compete with the Heavenly Emperor, and Thousand Hands Tathagata Divine Palm.
The art of light footwork—Lingbo Weibu!
The Confucian and Taoist schools of thought—like drawing a circle on the ground and imprisoning themselves!
And they're all at max proficiency level!!
His most important cultivation level has also been raised to the seventh level of Qi Condensation.
At this moment, he was truly confident that the Holy Land Selection Tournament was his stage!
.......
At 11:45 AM, the second mountain peak appeared.
Wei Xuan and Lin Yan'er had been waiting for a long time.
Gu Lin arrived late.
"I'm sorry." Gu Lin clasped his hands in apology and said with a smile:
"I was delayed a bit because I was buying a fine gun. Did you manage to get the one you wanted?"
Lin Yan'er lightly touched her delicate chin, her eyes sparkling with joy:
"Something was gained!"
Wei Xuan shook her head, realizing she had gained nothing and had made a wasted trip.
She asked:
"We're planning to travel back to Shiyang overnight, what about you?"
Gu Lin said tactfully, "I'm also setting off, but I have some personal matters to attend to."
The two women, of course, did not insist, and nodded with smiles:
"Goodbye."
Gu Lin watched them leave.
He naturally couldn't miss any opportunity to seek opportunities.
He still had to work alone, specifically choosing the most desolate and uninhabited places to kill and bury the bodies.
He knew that this was very risky. If he were to have terrible luck and encounter a reclusive old monster who could crush him like an ant, then he would be dead.
Therefore, one must have status and background, and more importantly, a goal. One must identify who is the most heinous criminal and find them to kill, rather than using oneself as bait to catch fish. That is the most reckless and worst strategy.
The journey home was "smooth" and without any incidents.
With ten days left until the Holy Land Selection Competition and three days left until the day agreed upon by the ghostwriter, Gu Lin returned to Shiyang County in the evening.
This trip was truly a fruitful one!
