Lin Beichen chased after Cobra’s scent, arriving outside the commercial street.
Behind the commercial street, the narrow alleys served as maintenance pathways, dimly lit and narrow.
In the narrow alleys, the air was filled with the scent of youth and hormones, occasionally a woman’s scream pierced through, then fell silent.
A shadow zipped past, the gale whipped up feathers, accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, like a ghostly howl, scaring the men and women in the alleys, causing them to flee in panic, not even having time to pull up their pants.
A few streets away, Cobra appeared in a sorry state, staring deathly at the rear.
Lin Beichen was more agile than he had anticipated, continuing to flee would undoubtedly be a dead end.
"Lin Beichen, this place will be your burial ground."
Cobra said leisurely.
As his words fell, a figure transitioned from illusion to reality, gradually becoming the form of Lin Beichen.
The two stood under the streetlights, separated by dozens of meters.
This place was three blocks away from the commercial street, devoid of its bustling atmosphere, leaving only the killing intent of the night.
Cobra’s figure became slender and swayed, under the lights, his body swayed slightly, like a cobra about to hunt.
He was the top assassin, mastering countless assassination techniques in his ten years of hunting, but it didn’t mean he lacked the courage for a frontal battle.
Back when he killed for the first time, his opponent was a world-renowned master of boxing.
He killed him on the spot in just three moves.
"Bang!"
A cold light flashed across the night sky, transforming into the Withered Wood Sword.
Lin Beichen was too lazy to waste words, directly transforming his Withered and Flourishing Body, condensing spiritual energy into a sword.
Pure fist and foot skills. Lin Beichen was actually not as strong as Qin Wenwu.
Qin Wenwu was proficient in martial arts both domestic and foreign, mastering them to the Transformation Realm, even being the founding master of many schools.
Celestial Gate had just opened, and he already possessed Tier Four Power of the Five Elements, with slight rotation he could discern the truth of Celestial Gate, enough to impact Tier Five Spiritual Qi.
With such talent and intelligence, just giving him a few years, he could even challenge the Mystic Sect.
Compared to a true cultivator, what he lacked was only time and the technique in using spiritual qi.
If Lin Beichen hadn’t cultivated into the Withered and Flourishing Body, it wouldn’t be an easy task to kill Qin Wenwu, likely requiring a prolonged battle over days and nights, using the advantage of spiritual qi to exhaust Qin Wenwu to death.
Qin Wenwu’s misfortune was that he chose the wrong opponent for his first battle after reaching the peak of Celestial Gate.
The Withered and Flourishing Body was too powerful, not only completely adapting to spiritual qi, but even evolving to the next stage of spiritual qi.
Within the Golden Core, spiritual qi condensed into liquid, Lin Beichen still couldn’t fully control the Golden Core, his physical body couldn’t operate the Withered and Flourishing Body at high load, he had to wait until he achieved true Unity of Heaven and Man to completely control this body.
But even so, dealing with Qin Wenwu was a crushing victory, let alone Cobra.
With a bang.
In the alley, blue spiritual light flashed, revealing Cobra’s astonished face.
Cobra was too far behind compared to Qin Wenwu.
To deal with Cobra, Lin Beichen didn’t even need to use the Withered and Flourishing Body, just manipulating a thread of Withered and Flourishing spiritual energy was enough to crush him.
Cobra felt the Withered and Flourishing spiritual energy, his face changed drastically, his figure turned into a shadow, escaping into the darkness like an invisible body.
But the dark qi around him instantly transformed into two sharp blades, thrown towards Lin Beichen.
"Tricks of a minor magician."
Lin Beichen didn’t even look, swinging his sword open and wide before his chest, Withered and Flourishing spiritual energy, cutting everything, whether it was black fog or shadow, even the mysterious qi in the fog was cut off.
Bang bang bang!
Cobra wielded his dual blades, desperately resisting the Withered and Flourishing spiritual light.
The dual blades in his hands seemed endless, each time blocking the Withered and Flourishing spiritual energy, they would shatter, but when he raised his hands again, the dual blades were intact.
The air was filled with a thick, extremely foul odor, attaching to the walls, the concrete and stone walls corroded into liquid.
Lin Beichen watched all this quietly, without moving an inch.
Under the Withered and Flourishing Body, his body had already transformed like a spirit body, no matter what tricks Cobra played, they couldn’t harm him a bit.
This was the crushing brought by life levels, not something that cleverness could bridge.
"What material is this blade?"
Cobra became more and more shocked in his heart.
The dual blades in his hands were specially crafted in a laboratory from superalloy, a material that couldn’t be obtained naturally, but had to go through multiple precise processes in the lab and combined with aerospace technology.
This blade could cut through iron like mud, and had a certain corrosive nature, a touch could injure, a brush could be fatal.
Yet this blade couldn’t withstand even two moves before cracking.
If it weren’t for him using spiritual power to guide and reshape the molecules, the blade would have been a ruined piece by now.
"It’s said that Dragon Country’s cultivators excel at cultivating inner qi, this qi resides in the so-called Seven Meridians and Eight Meridians, using this qi during battles can turn mortal soldiers into divine weapons, unexpectedly this technique is so magical."
Cobra turned into a stream of light, soaring into the sky, intending to escape again.
"Did I allow you to leave?"
From below the alley, Lin Beichen waved his hand, the sword light surged, tearing through the darkness.
With a boom.
In an instant, Cobra only felt an overwhelming killing intent, looking back, his body exploded into clusters of black feathers, his body disintegrated into countless molecules, evading the soaring sword from below.
