The Fourth Financial Crisis
Chapter 200 Backstab
A person's name, the shadow of a tree.
Governor Lu has been in charge of the highest financial authority in Kyushu's cultivation world for two hundred years. He can be called the greatest cultivation economist in seven thousand years. Even the seven major sects in Kyushu are puppets in his hands.
Even though President Lu has ascended to heaven, the date of his ascension was less than three hundred years ago. Today's senior leaders of the seven major sects have serious psychological shadows about his financial methods that turn his hands into clouds and rain.
Not to mention Yi Yuanzu, the former head of Yufeng Sect, even Lin Jianxing, the current head of Wuliang Sword Sect and his uncle from the same sect, often felt that he was living in the shadow of Lu Xingchang, and felt an inexplicable sense of suffocation.
This is why Lin Jianxing often deliberately suppresses the remaining forces left by President Lu, such as Mo Yunlan, Li Qingyang, and even Lingshi Reserve Bank.
Tian Daxiao's identity as the registered disciple of Ascension Immortal is like a double-edged sword. It can not only make many people who are not familiar with him respect him out of thin air, but also arouse the vigilance of all forces.
The attack on the outlying island should be regarded as the first time that the Shenhuo Sect tried to expand its sphere of influence after Tian Daxiao took over as the head of the Shenhuo Sect. As a result, he was immediately attacked by the Wind Yu Faction and the Wuliang Sword Faction. It has to be said that Head Tian was also attacked Mr. Lu was burdened by his reputation.
Since the closest ally of the Wuliang Sword Sect is the Shenxiao Sect of the West Jizhou, Tian Beixi originally thought that the Shenxiao Sect was the most likely third party to intervene in the war on the outlying islands. Unexpectedly, the sect that finally came to support the Wuliang Sword Sect turned out to be The Yufeng Sect far away in Borneo.
It seems that there are rumors that Ye Wan, the head of the Shenxiao Sect, and Lin Jianxing, the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, have a bad personal relationship. I am afraid they are not fabricated out of thin air.
Of course, the reason why Yufeng sent people to support the outlying islands was not because of the good personal relationship between Yufeng Sect leader Yi Fangda and Lin Jianxing. After all, the person in Yufeng Sect who is really responsible for managing the affairs of the sect is the Yufeng Stage Taishang Elder. , Lin Muhu’s uncle Xiao Nan.
This person was also one of the elders who participated in the establishment of the Lingshi Reserve Bank in his early years. Although he was not a direct descendant of Lu Yang, he had a very good relationship with Li Qingyang. He always liked to think of himself as a cultivation economist and looked down on Lin Jianxing, who was born in the World Sect. .
The Yufeng Sect asked its disciples to come to the island to help simply because the Yufeng Sect happened to have a disciple named Lin Muhu who was in the early stage of Qi refining and could meet the requirements of the Wanli Yanbo Formation.
Lin Muhu was not a direct disciple of Yufeng Sect.
Like Lin Dong and Tian Beixi, the direct disciples of their respective sects, the targets of the Yufeng Party are Zhang Gan, the direct disciple of the head of Yi Fangda, and famous geniuses such as Zhang Yayun, the granddaughter of Supreme Elder Zhang Huaqing.
Although Lin Muhu and his brother Lin Musen both practiced under Zhang Huaqing, the Supreme Elder of Yufeng Sect, Zhang Huaqing did not pay much attention to them. Instead, he gave all his cultivation resources to his granddaughter Zhang Yajun, and often Send two brothers, Lin Musen and Lin Muhu, to carry out dangerous missions in the secret realms of the world.
In other words, the Lin Muhu brothers are actually practical thugs trained by the Wind Control Sect.
Although the Jiuzhou cultivator world has the constraints of heaven and the fighting between cultivators is not frequent, fighting is still the main accidental death factor for Jiuzhou cultivators. Especially in the secret realms of heaven and earth such as extraterritorial battlefields, death due to fighting can be said to be commonplace. matter.
However, in addition to outlying islands, there are often a large number of treasures in the secret areas of the major worlds.
The major sects in Kyushu not only want to obtain the treasures in the secret realm of heaven and earth, but also do not want to risk the lives of their most potential disciples, so they will specially train some practical disciples who are not so talented and are not from cultivating families. In these secret realms of heaven and earth, people come to kill people and seize treasures for their sects.
Almost every sect has more or less treasure hunters like Brother Lin Muhu.
When necessary, these experienced treasure hunters will temporarily act as the sect's dead warriors and killers under the instruction of the sect's senior leaders, openly assassinating monks from rival sects.
Of course, Zhang Huaqing would definitely not say that he was using the Lin Muhu brothers as cannon fodder. Instead, he would euphemistically say that "the edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." This is the sect's initiative to train them. opportunities for them to grow through training.
Although this explanation is very outrageous, it is not completely unreasonable.
Because high risks will naturally bring high returns.
Precisely because brothers Lin Musen and Lin Muhu were often used as treasure hunters by their masters, they forced their way through several secret realms of heaven and earth to perform tasks. Not only did they obtain a large number of treasures for the Yufeng Sect, proving their actual combat capabilities, but also He directly received the award from Heaven and successfully cultivated the Golden Wheel of Merit during the Qi Refining Period.
The fact that the two brothers of the Lin family have been able to win repeatedly in all the secret realms of heaven and earth during the Qi Refining Period is certainly not because they are lucky.
The biggest trump card of the two brothers is actually Lin Musen's special flying sword. It is with the help of the extremely weird special flying sword that the Lin brothers can save themselves from danger several times, destroy powerful enemies that cannot be defeated by their own strength, and eventually become the Wind Control Faction. The ace among treasure hunters during the Qi refining period.
Now that the outlying island is facing an unprecedented crisis, Zhang Huaqing, the supreme elder of Yufeng Sect, immediately thought of these two very useful tool thugs under his sect.
However, Lin Musen had already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining and could not pass the test of the Thousand Miles of Smoke Formation. Therefore, Zhang Huaqing had no choice but to send Lin Musen's younger brother, Lin Muhu, who was at the third level of Qi Refining, to help the outlying island.
If the Shenhuo Sect is successfully defeated, it will be a good thing. If it fails unfortunately, Lin Muhu, a mere disciple of the inner sect, will die, which will not cause much loss to the Wind Control Sect.
This is the tragedy of cannon fodder tool people.
If Lin Muhu brothers want to get rid of the disadvantageous situation of treasure hunters, they must cultivate two golden wheels of merit like Xu Yannan in order to gain enough attention from the sect.
However, treasure hunter fights are too frequent, and very few lucky people can survive two golden wheels of merit. Even if Lin Muhu has a special flying sword to protect his body, there is no guarantee that he will not overturn, just like this time. When he came to the outlying island for a business trip, he encountered tough people like Tian Beixi.
Now there is no possibility of reconciliation between Lin Muhu and Tian Beixi. Either you die or I live. Now it depends on whether Tian Beixi's gunpowder is powerful or Lin Muhu's flying sword is weird.
Tian Beixi originally planned to try to drive a wedge between the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Yufeng Sect. But since the higher-ups of the Wind Control Sect had pointed the finger directly at the Shenhuo Sect, and Lin Muhu was obviously not an easy fool like Lin Dong, she finally gave up on this futile attempt.
When the two were in a stalemate, Lin Dong slowly stood up.
Although Lin Dong's condition was obviously not good, and he was even swaying when walking, the sword energy condensed in his palm already felt sharp, and he was obviously almost ready.
Tian Beixi could really feel the intensity of this sword energy through her spiritual consciousness. She immediately judged that it would be difficult to take this sword in her current state!
So without saying a word, she immediately turned around and fled towards the mortal military camp behind her.
Although Lin Dong had temporarily suppressed his injuries, the spiritual energy reserve in his body was running low. He could only hold one blow at most. As long as he temporarily avoided the attack, he might not be able to use the mortal army to kill his opponent.
Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Tian Beixi is not a manly man. Sometimes running away decisively is also a kind of wisdom.
Seeing Tian Beixi choose to run away, a cruel smile appeared on Lin Dong's lips.
"Is it too late to run away now?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Beixi felt a sudden chill on the back of his neck, as if he was being targeted by some kind of wild beast and had no way of escaping.
This is not an illusion, because the spiritual consciousness of a cultivator is essentially a sixth sense that is independent of the five senses. The chill behind her is a warning from the level of spiritual consciousness:
Her breath has been locked by Lin Dong's killing move!
And the only killing move that can make her feel that there is no escape is the legendary six sword killing move——
Kill in this world!
The Living Slash consumes more spiritual energy than the killing moves of the same power. Lin Dong also hated Tian Beixi so much that he didn't leave any room for himself and directly endured the severe pain to activate all the remaining mana in his body.
In a battlefield full of dangers, this kind of attack is simply fatal. It is hard to say whether Tian Beixi can be killed, but he himself is probably dead.
As the saying goes, beating the old master to death with random punches, but when faced with a ruthless person like Lin Dong who is so ruthless that he even risks his own life, no matter how shrewd Tian Beixi's calculation is, there is nothing he can do.
Do you really think that you are possessed by the halo of the protagonist of the novel, and it doesn't matter how injured you are?
After realizing that he could no longer dodge, Tian Beixi also gave up his plan to escape.
She turned to face Lin Dong, stretched out her right hand and grabbed it in the air, using the Cold Sky Crystal to condense a set of personal armor made of ice. At this moment, except for resisting the opponent's killing moves with all her strength, she had no tricks left. method.
Fortunately, Lin Muhu saw that both Lin Dong and Tian Beixi had gone all out. This time they did not add insult to injury, but crossed their arms and looked on with a cold eye. Otherwise, Tian Beixi would have been attacked by the two men and there would have been absolutely no survivors. possibility.
Lin Muhu's reaction was not what Tian Beixi expected.
Although the goal of both of them is to get rid of themselves, the Wuliang Sword Sect and the Yufeng Sect have never been allies. Although the idiot Lin Dong didn't notice it at all, Tian Beixi had clearly felt that Lin Muhu was planning to sit back and take it. Yuli, get rid of them both!
At the moment the ice armor was taking shape, Lin Dong also moved.
He slowly raised the sword light into the air with his right hand. After a strange spiritual energy fluctuation, the sword light slowly disappeared into the void, as if it had been swallowed up by some kind of higher-dimensional space crack. .
Just when Tian Beixi was extremely tense and prepared to receive Lin Dong's strongest blow, something unexpected happened.
The sword light of the World Slayer was about to disappear into the boundless sea of emptiness, but it suddenly exploded like fireworks. At the same time, Lin Dong seemed to be possessed, and his whole body began to tremble violently.
Could it be that Lin Dong failed to cast a spell and suffered backlash?
Seeing this scene, Tian Beixi and Lin Muhu had this idea at the same time.
But what happened next was even more outrageous. Lin Dong's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something. However, before the two of them could hear what he wanted to say, a small hole appeared on his temple. From the blood hole, a stream of bright red blood shot out from his temple like an arrow, blooming into a blood flower.
Under the stunned gazes of the two people, Lin Dong fell straight to the ground, his body twitched slightly twice and stopped moving.
Lin Dong, the new genius of Wuliang Sword Sect——
Killed on the spot!
Seeing with their own eyes that Lin Dong had lost all his breath, Lin Muhu and Tian Beixi were shocked.
"How is this possible? Even if the spell casting fails, there is no reason for this guy to die on the spot? If the robustness of Wuliang Sword Sect's spells is so poor (Lu Yangxingchang said), how can he become the leader of the seven major sects of Kyushu? "
Compared to Lin Muhu's simple shock, Tian Beixi's eyes flashed with doubt.
She had just locked all her consciousness on Lin Dong in order to resist the Immortal Slash, so she really felt that there seemed to be an imperceptible wave of spiritual energy hitting Lin Dong's temple. It's just that this spiritual energy fluctuation was too weak. If Lin Dong hadn't fallen to the ground and died on the spot, she would have thought it was just her illusion.
However, seeing the dead Lin Dong and the gurgling blood pouring from his temples, she knew very well that it was not her illusion.
At the same time, on the flagship deck of the Haiya Fleet two kilometers away from the battlefield, Yang Lu's right hand hidden behind his back gently grasped the void. When he opened his palm again, there was actually an extra inlaid inlay in the palm of his hand. Sapphire slender hairpin for women!
Feeling the spiritual energy that had been completely exhausted in his body, Yang Lu couldn't help but sigh slightly:
The spiritual energy reserve of the second-level cultivator of Qi Refining is really pitiful. He only activated the Crescent Hairpin once and almost emptied his body.
That’s right!
The culprit who just shot and killed Lin Dong was Yang Lu, who had been watching the battle silently!
Li Qingning's Crescent Hairpin is indeed a top-notch magic weapon worth millions of spiritual stone coins. The spiritual energy fluctuations generated when it is activated are extremely weak, and almost all of them are concentrated inside the hairpin. Moreover, its attack speed is extremely fast, even within two kilometers. The distance can be reached in an instant, and it is the only magic weapon for low-level monks to attack and plot.
Just like Lin Muhu's sneak attack failed to directly eliminate Tian Beixi who was in good condition. Although Crescent Hairpin's surprise attack was more difficult to defend against than Yufeng Sect's Thousand Winds Running Thunder Technique, Yang Lu's cultivation was obviously not as good as Lin Muhu's. If Lin Dong was in good condition, and Yang Lu's sneak attack might not be able to kill him so easily, and he might even be noticed by the opponent in turn.
However, Lin Dong was hit hard one after another and it was difficult to concentrate.
Just like ordinary mortals, their five senses will become dull when their attention is distracted. When Lin Dong's attention is distracted, his sixth sense will become less sensitive. In addition, his body-protecting gas has been exploded. He was distracted, and almost all of his remaining attention was focused on Tian Beixi. The right time, place, and people gave Yang Lu the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.
He also saw that Lin Dong's spellcasting had reached a critical juncture, and then launched a surprise attack. If any of the above favorable conditions were missing, the final result might not be so clean and tidy.
