Villains: Starting with the Landlady

Page 120

"The Yi Jin Jing?" Xuan Ci looked surprised. "This martial art has been lost for a long time..."

"If a person is incompetent, don't blame the road for being uneven; it's because you're blind to their abilities."

Ling Yun stood with his hands behind his back, too lazy to pay attention to them, and went straight into the library. Using his X-ray vision, he quickly found the Yi Jin Jing hidden in the crevices of a book.

As he put the book into his spatial storage, an old monk suddenly spoke up.

“Benefactor, you are burdened by karmic debts; it is time for you to let go.”

Ling Yun looked back and saw the old monk who was speaking. He was wearing a green robe and holding a broom. He was sweeping the ground with his back bent. He was quite old, and his sparse long beard was completely white.

The other Shaolin monks who arrived did not dare to speak, and even Xuanci held the old monk in great awe.

This sweeping monk had been in the Sutra Repository since he could remember, and his daily work consisted only of sweeping and chanting sutras; he had never been seen using martial arts. However, the last time Qiao Feng and his son caused a ruckus at Shaolin, this old monk alone stopped them, even forcibly shaving Xiao Yuanshan's head and forcing Qiao Feng to retreat.

"A hidden master?" Ling Yun smiled faintly. "What, if I simply refuse to let go, what will you do?"

"Then I can only convert you to Buddhism, have you become a vegetarian and chant sutras from now on, and strive to reach the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss as soon as possible."

"Feudal superstition."

Ling Yun rolled her eyes at him, ignored him, and turned to walk outside.

“Amitabha, benefactor, you have already embarked on an irreversible evil path.”

The sweeping monk put down his broom, lightly touched the ground with his cloth shoes, and instantly appeared beside Ling Yun, reaching out towards his crown.

Ling Yun had been poised to act for a long time, and turned around to face him with the "Regretful Dragon" version of the Yangtze River Triple Waves!

A golden dragon with bared fangs and claws appeared behind Ling Yun. Just as his palm strike was about to hit the Sweeper Monk, an invisible wave suddenly emanated from the latter, blocking his attack.

"A three-foot-high wall of air?"

Looking at his S+ combat strength description, Ling Yun grinned and said, "It seems you're not far from taking that final step."

However, Ling Yun's triple wave attack only blocked the first wave. The second wave shattered his defense, and the third wave headed straight for his chest.

Click!

A crisp sound of ribs cracking rang out. The sweeping monk was naturally surprised that Ling Yun, a young man in his early teens, possessed such high martial arts skills. He was directly sent flying, his back slamming hard against a pillar. After smashing the pillar, he flew several meters away before finally falling to the ground.

Ling Yun walked to his side. At this moment, the sweeping monk's aura was weak, and his eyes were wide open, unable to imagine how this young man, Ling Yun, had managed to do it.

"Your era is long gone." Ling Yun took out Mo Bai and said coldly, "Playing dumb to fool others, you've become a pig yourself. Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes in the dark. What have you been trying to achieve by hiding here your whole life?"

Before he could speak, Ling Yun added, "Furthermore, there are no gods or Buddhas in this world. Your faith is utter nonsense!"

After saying this, he beheaded the sweeping monk with a single stroke and sprinkled bone-dissolving powder on his corpse.

Gazing at his boiling corpse, Ling Yun calmly turned back and drifted away.

The monks at the entrance quickly made way for him, not daring to show any anger, for fear of being discovered and punished by Ling Yun.

Lingyun arrived outside the temple, mounted his flying electric horse, and headed towards Suzhou.

Ling Yun had already witnessed the immense power of the all-encompassing ocean; even using only the pinnacle of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, it could instantly kill a sweeping monk of the same level. This monk had naturally learned the Yi Jin Jing, but if that was all the Yi Jin Jing could do, then his trip had been in vain.

Upon arriving at the capital city of Suzhou in the evening, Ling Yun immediately went to his palace and spread out the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic).

After reading it, Ling Yun was greatly disappointed. This Yi Jin Jing was practically useless to him; it could only strengthen his body and increase his cultivation speed to some extent.

With the wooden dummy as a training cheat, the training speed added by the Yi Jin Jing was meaningless. He sighed and casually gave it to the Commander of the Imperial Guards, telling him to study it carefully.

"Nana, have I already mastered all the martial arts techniques in this world?"

【Master, perhaps if you train your palms and fingers to their limits and then go into seclusion, you might achieve unexpected results!】

The limit, seclusion?

A flash of lightning struck his brain, and he slapped his thigh hard.

Yes, how could I forget? In the original game, you had to train your fist, palm, finger, sword, and knife skills to the limit, then go into seclusion for ten days to comprehend your own unique martial arts.

This martial art will boost all attributes and add a super powerful AOE skill to the entire party!

He still hasn't mastered the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Six Meridians Divine Sword, but he doesn't know how to break through them.

As he thought of this, a figure appeared in his mind.

Half a bottle of divine vinegar!

As the true chosen one of this world, and the unparalleled master of our time, he far surpasses even the Sweeper Monk. It's not that he's only capable of S+ level strength, but rather that this world is limiting him.

However, this battle may be very dangerous, and he needs to be fully prepared before going.

"Yun'er, are you there?"

"Brother Ling!"

Two melodious female voices came from behind. Ling Yun got up from his chair and saw Yue Lingshan and Ning Zhongze walk in.

Ning Zhongze's belly is now quite large, after all, she is seven months pregnant. Yue Lingshan's lower abdomen is also slightly swollen, and judging from the timeline, she is probably around three months pregnant as well.

"Why are you looking for me?"

Ling Yun quickly stepped forward, took the two women's hands, and helped them sit down.

"I missed you!" Yue Lingshan chuckled. Although the girl was already a mother-to-be, her naturally mischievous personality remained.

Chapter 292 Breakthrough Between Life and Death

Ling Yun embraced them both, one in each arm, and gently stroked their swollen bellies.

..............................

Inside Juxian Manor, Half-Bottle Immortal Vinegar seemed to have anticipated something, standing neatly dressed in the courtyard.

"Vinegar Bro."

The young man's voice came from behind him. Half-bottle of Divine Vinegar snapped out of his daze, his face full of fighting spirit: "Brother Ling, you've arrived."

"I only ask for a battle." Ling Yun loosened the reins of Fei Dian.

"I'd have no regrets even if I died." Half-bottle of divine vinegar laughed heartily.

The martial arts ranking list in the middle of the courtyard had been removed in advance, leaving a large empty space, clearly indicating that he had made preparations beforehand.

Feidian seemed a little downcast. It nuzzled Lingyun with its head, glanced at the two of them reluctantly, and then ran away.

"I've been practicing martial arts for almost 14 years." Half-bottle of immortal vinegar seemed to be reminiscing about the past. "From an ordinary person, I've gradually come to where I am today. Although I could have controlled the martial arts world long ago, that's not what I'm after."

“14 years…” Ling Yun calculated backwards, which was 2009, the official release date of the game Jin Yong Heroes 3.

"Brother Vinegar, what if you were to die on the spot?"

"As I said before, I have no regrets about dying."

Ling Yun took a deep breath. He didn't draw his weapon. The man opposite him had already reached the pinnacle of martial arts, mastering all kinds of weapons. He hoped to use half a bottle of "divine vinegar" to hone his fist, palm, and finger skills, thereby breaking through his limits.

"Brother Ling, please!"

Half-bottle of divine vinegar clasped his hands in a fist salute, and Ling Yun also cupped his hands in a fist salute, before taking the initiative to attack him.

He immediately unleashed the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms without reservation, combined with his extremely fast Free and Easy Wind Riding technique, his entire being attacking like a whirlwind.

Half-bottle of divine vinegar remained unmoved, and a Tai Chi pattern faintly appeared beneath his feet. He skillfully neutralized Ling Yun's attacks, constantly countering each move. Even after Ling Yun unleashed the Three Waves of the Yangtze River, he used the Return to Simplicity and Heartbreak Palm to directly confront Ling Yun.

For the first time, Ling Yun was forced back by someone's palm technique. In this battle, he deliberately turned off the effect of "Shifting Stars" and only wanted to fight with all his might, seeking a breakthrough in the face of life and death.

"Come again!"

He remained relentless, his figure shifting into phantoms as he circled the half-bottle of divine vinegar, searching for a breakthrough.

Even a half-baked immortal's Tai Chi formation wasn't a tortoise shell, and Ling Yun finally found an opportunity. The young man first feigned an attack with "Dragon Appearing in the Field," then supplemented it with the Six Meridians Divine Sword, which he had never shown to him before, forcing him back several steps and breaking the Tai Chi formation.

"Six Meridian Divine Sword? It seems Brother Ling has already glimpsed the two supreme divine skills."

Half-Bottle Immortal Vinegar smiled slightly, raised his hands, then suddenly pressed them down, and shouted: "Then I, Vinegar, will take the initiative to attack!"

In an instant, a wave of Sanskrit energy rose rapidly beneath his feet, followed by the roar of dragons and elephants, as if blessed by divine power. Even the hard blue bricks beneath shattered.

"Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill?"

This martial arts technique is recorded in the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra," an unparalleled martial arts manual. It belongs to the supreme guardian divine skill of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, with a total of thirteen levels. Its external skills can make the palm force powerful, domineering, and fierce. Each level increases the strength of one dragon and one elephant, and after ten levels, one will have the immense strength of ten dragons and ten elephants.

This is also the martial art practiced by the Golden Wheel Monk. He was an unparalleled martial arts prodigy who studied diligently and made rapid progress, cultivating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to the tenth level. He was able to compete with Zhou Botong and Master Yideng without being at a disadvantage, only slightly inferior to Guo Jing, who had reached the peak of his strength, and Yang Guo, who was ten years later.

The half-bottle of divine vinegar in front of him had already reached the thirteenth level of cultivation. Even if you put a sweeping monk in front of him, he would only be instantly killed.

Even at the same level, there are differences in strength.

Ling Yun and Half-Bottle Immortal Vinegar are in the same situation. It's not that their strength can only reach S+, but that the peak of this world is only S+!

With the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill at its fullest, Ling Yun felt that his internal energy cultivation was not far from that of himself, who possessed the power to embrace all things.

Half a bottle of divine vinegar rushed over, and with each step it took, the ground would collapse and crack due to the inability to withstand the enormous force. Ling Yun took a breath and activated the Ocean of All Rivers at full speed, but he perfectly controlled the force, his figure was elusive, almost like flying on land, his feet not touching the ground.

The two have significantly different internal skills, and when they collide, a huge explosion occurs.

The surrounding houses and debris were destroyed one by one. The two fought like humanoid Gundams in Juxian Manor. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they had completely demolished the quiet manor.

boom!

The sounds of dragons and elephants echoed endlessly, and it was Ling Yun who flew backward from the chaotic battlefield.

At this moment, his image as a refined gentleman was completely gone; blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his clothes were tattered, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

If Mo Bai were to use the Meteor Blade Technique, he was certain he could kill Half-Bottle Immortal Vinegar in just a few breaths, but that would be meaningless.

Half-Bottle Immortal Vinegar, relentlessly pursuing, charged towards the direction Ling Yun had flown backward, smashing away obstacles in its path with its overflowing internal energy enveloped in Sanskrit. He drew a square with his left hand and a circle with his right, simultaneously unleashing the Ecstasy Palm and the Void Fist, combining them with the terrifying power of the Thirteen Dragons and Thirteen Elephants, striking towards Ling Yun with a chilling aura!

In that instant, Ling Yun's mind buzzed. The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, which he had been unable to break through, seemed to have been honed for a hundred years, and a profound memory surged into his mind.

I see……

His movements seemed like slow motion in the face of the swift Half-Bottle Immortal Vinegar. As the two closed in, he slowly made a circle with both hands, bringing them together at his right lower abdomen before pushing them out.

A dragon's roar that resounded for several kilometers suppressed the cries of the dragon and elephant. Half-bottle of divine vinegar seemed to see a golden dragon, several meters long, coiled around Lingyun and charging towards him.

He grinned, his eyes burning with a fervor for martial arts, and charged forward fearlessly.

A strong white light rose from the ruins of Juxianzhuang, without any sound, only that dazzling light like the sun.

The light lasted for a few breaths, then quickly faded. Half a bottle of Divine Vinegar's clothes burst open at the chest, his hands dripping blood, hanging trembling at his sides.

Ling Yun, who was opposite him, coughed a few times while clutching his chest, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

This is considered a draw. Even the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms cannot directly counter two top-tier fist and palm techniques, so he still has the advantage of internal strength.

"That was exhilarating, so exhilarating!" Half-bottle of divine vinegar looked at his still trembling hands, wiped the bloodstains on his trouser leg, stomped on the ground, and charged forward again!

Chapter 293 The Number One Person in China

Ling Yun moved erratically, no longer engaging in head-on combat, but instead resorting to guerrilla tactics.

With his profound internal energy, the Six Meridians Divine Sword was like a series of laser beams. Ordinary top-tier masters would die instantly upon contact with this move, or be severely injured if grazed, and would have no chance to resist.

But Half-Bottle Immortal Vinegar, relying on his terrifying physique, managed to block his finger techniques with his arms and even counterattacked with ranged techniques such as One-Finger Divine Skill, yet he still couldn't touch Ling Yun's clothes.

"Ling Yun, do you dare to fight me head-on!"

Half-bottle immortal vinegar was very frustrated. Ling Yun could have used the Return to Simplicity Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms or sword techniques to fight him at close range, but Ling Yun seemed determined to toy with him, which made him furious.

"Damn it, you're trying to play dirty tricks on me, aren't you?"

Ling Yun was hiding in the ruins, occasionally shooting two finger strikes at him from a corner. Half-bottle of immortal vinegar was flushed red, a red temperature warning.

He roared to the sky, shattering the surrounding debris, and charged headlong toward the direction where Ling Yun was hiding.

After he smashed open the collapsed house, he indeed saw Ling Yun, who had already tidied himself up and regained his handsome and dashing appearance.

This made him even angrier. In the competition that he valued more than his own life, this pretty boy actually hid away, changed his clothes, and even took the time to wash his face!

To his surprise, what followed was even more infuriating: Ling Yun simply gave up all resistance, put his hands behind his back, and used his lightness skill to move around him.

"You damned bastard!"

Half-bottle of divine vinegar had already hurled all his filthiest insults at Ling Yun. He was like a madman, bombarding Ling Yun with a barrage of abuse, vowing not to be a man until he killed him.

Ling Yun also realized that no matter how good his relationship was with the "protagonist," it would eventually turn into this situation—of course, he would never admit that it was his fault.
