One Step, One Kill

Chapter Ten: One Step, One Kill

On the third day in the Misty Forest, Lin Yisheng got up very early.

After diligently practicing the first seven movements of the "Pangu Creation Technique" for two more hours, Lin Yisheng was delighted to find that he had advanced once again.

Breakthrough from the seventh level of Body Tempering to the eighth level!

With such astonishing progress, it seems that in at most another ten days of cultivation, I may be able to break through the tenth level of Body Tempering and enter the realm of "Divine Transformation".

By then, I will be qualified to fight Wu Xuli, the head of the Wu family!

Feeling very hungry, he took out some dried venison from his storage bag and ate it again.

After eating his fill, Lin Yisheng stopped practicing earth-based spiritual arts. He decided to wander around and explore the Misty Forest to see if he could find other food.

Eating venison jerky all the time, no matter how delicious it is, will eventually make you want to vomit.

Touching the Shadowless Blade strapped to his right wrist, Lin Yisheng chose a direction and slowly walked forward.

To avoid getting lost and not being able to find his house, Lin Yisheng would use his Shadowless Blade to carve a mark on a tree every ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).

After walking for about half an hour, Lin Yisheng had to stop.

He heard footsteps ahead.

There are other living people in this misty forest!

Lin Yisheng was pleasantly surprised, but his expression changed when the footsteps approached and he saw the living person.

Bronze Warrior!

Although he looked disheveled and his bronze armor was badly damaged, Lin Yisheng recognized him at a glance as one of the four bronze warriors who had chased him that day.

He actually entered the Misty Forest too?

Is the Holy Spirit Cult really willing to sacrifice a Bronze Warrior just to hunt down their slave?

The bronze warrior who appeared before Lin Yisheng was none other than "Boss." Three days ago, he recklessly entered the Misty Forest, vowing to capture Lin Yisheng himself and execute him in the most cruel way, otherwise he would not be at peace even if he went to hell.

Unexpectedly, the terror of the Misty Forest far exceeded his expectations. Not long after entering the forest, "Boss" discovered that he had not only lost his way, but had also become separated from the three brothers who had followed him in.

Known as one of the seven forbidden places of the Eastern Spirit Continent, the Misty Forest is not only shrouded in fog year-round, but it also seems to possess an invisible, chaotic magnetic field. Anyone who enters the forest will have their sense of direction affected by this chaotic magnetic field. Even those with excellent sense of direction will lose their bearings once inside the forest, and may even wander in circles without realizing it.

Not long after entering the Misty Forest, the "eldest brother" became separated from his three brothers and lost his sense of direction. He kept circling around an area of ​​about 100 square feet for two whole days before realizing something was wrong. It took him a lot of effort to finally get out of that circle.

Unfortunately, we didn't bring any food with us when we came in. For the past two days, apart from quenching our thirst by sucking dew from leaves or flowers, we haven't been able to find anything to eat. Our stomachs are growling so hungry they're about to rebel.

The "boss" thought he would starve to death in the forest, but unexpectedly, the person he was chasing suddenly appeared in front of him today.

Having confirmed that it wasn't a hallucination caused by hunger, the "boss" was overjoyed. He grinned maliciously at Lin Yisheng and said, "Kid, you've got a path to heaven but no way to hell. Didn't expect to run into me even after escaping to this misty forest? I'll give you a choice. If you surrender, I'll give you a quick death. Otherwise, you'll suffer the most cruel pain imaginable before you die. Oh, I forgot to tell you, my name is Liu Xiong. Remember my name when you get to hell. Because after you die, I'll go with you to hell and continue to torture you there!"

Lin Yisheng stared at the bronze warrior who called himself "Liu Xiong" for a long time, puzzled, and asked, "Is there such a deep hatred between us that it's worth chasing me all the way to hell and continuing to torture me there?"

Liu Xiong said sternly, "Who told you to kill the Divine Envoy? Do you know that our responsibility as Bronze Warriors is to protect the Divine Envoy? You killed him in front of us. Even if we kill you, we will be executed by the Church, and everyone present, including those black-armored soldiers, will be executed. Tell me how much hatred we have?"

"Ah, that divine envoy's life was so precious, yet so many of you had to be buried with him after his death!" Lin Yisheng exclaimed. "Your Holy Spirit Cult is too cruel! But you can't blame me for this. How was I supposed to know that the divine envoy was just an ordinary person with no strength at all? Aren't all divine envoys supposed to be Holy Spirit Masters?"

"What do you know? He's no ordinary divine messenger; he's the brother-in-law of the Chief Deacon of Punishments. Otherwise, why would the Church send four bronze warriors to protect him in a small place like Nanjun?"

"Ah, even becoming a divine messenger requires back channels? No wonder he's such a piece of trash, he'd run away with his tail between his legs after just a little intimidation!"

"Good that you understand. So, will you choose to surrender or let me do it myself?"

"You won't choose either of them. You'd better be capable of winning me over first!"

After saying this, Lin Yisheng turned and fled.

As he fled, he gripped the Shadowless Blade on his right wrist with his right hand, ready to turn around and strike Liu Xiong when he caught up.

He had planned everything perfectly, but then he heard a gust of wind behind his head, and an extremely sharp aura attacked the back of his head.

Lin Yisheng turned around and was startled.

But Liu Xiong, who was more than five zhang away from him before, suddenly appeared less than half a zhang away from him and punched him in the back of the head.

Unable to unleash the Shadowless Blade or even dodge, Lin Yisheng could only instinctively raise his left hand and bend his elbow to forcefully block Liu Xiong's punch.

With a loud bang, Lin Yisheng was sent flying two zhang away, crashing heavily into a tree and breaking the thick tree in half.

With a flash, Liu Xiong reappeared in front of Lin Yisheng.

Seeing Lin Yisheng struggle to his feet, seemingly unharmed, he couldn't help but look surprised.

"Huh? You've only been in the Misty Forest for less than three days, and you've already broken through from the fifth level of Body Tempering to the eighth level? Is there some miracle in this Misty Forest that allows martial artists to break through their cultivation so quickly? Too bad, too bad, your eighth level of Body Tempering is still far inferior to mine. Before entering the Misty Forest, I was already at the tenth level of Body Tempering. Two days after entering the Misty Forest, I successfully broke through to the peak of the tenth level and entered the Divine Transformation Realm. Once a martial artist enters the Divine Transformation Realm, their speed and agility will increase exponentially. No matter how hard you try to escape, you won't be able to get away!"

Divine Transformation Realm!

No wonder this guy suddenly became so fast!

On the surface, Lin Yisheng was shocked, but secretly he gripped the Shadowless Blade in his right hand and watched Liu Xiong approach him without making a sound.

Three steps!

Two steps!

step!

Half a step!

When Liu Xiong was about half a step away from Lin Yisheng, he raised his right hand, his hand shaped like a knife, and slashed down hard at Lin Yisheng's neck, clearly intending to knock Lin Yisheng unconscious.

At this moment, Lin Yisheng also launched an attack!

The first kill of the Seven Kills of Shadowless - One step, one kill!
