117: Chapter 117 Killing Qin Ruyan

Having his identity exposed in public by Qin Mang,

Lin Shen was not surprised either.

Because his lightning-attribute aura had already been exposed, if the person before him wasn't stupid, they could more or less guess his true identity.

However, since his identity was already exposed, Lin Shen no longer covered it up. He quickly absorbed the effects of the Medicinal Pill, and a terrifying power of thunder burst forth from his entire body.

Lightning flashed and thunder rolled across the sky, with terrifying thunder spreading through Lin Shen's body, setting him off as if he were a god of thunder.

Flying Swords floated suspended in the air. Wearing a mask, Lin Shen stared straight at Qin Mang, a hint of banter in his tone: "Recognized me, my good Junior Brother? Surprised? Amazed?"

Lin Shen was not in a hurry to make a move. The Spiritual Qi consumption within his body was still heavy, and the medicinal efficacy of the Medicinal Pill was still being absorbed.

Since Qin Mang and the others did not take the opportunity to attack him, he naturally thought of dragging it out for as long as possible.

Once the effect of the Medicinal Pill was completely absorbed, then, with his identity recognized, everyone present... would have to die!

Hearing Lin Shen's bantering tone, Qin Mang nodded very seriously and sighed: "Indeed, I am truly very surprised. At first, I really didn't expect it to be you, nor did I expect that you, Senior Brother Lin, actually had such a side to you. Even now, there is still a trace of shock. As expected, you can know a person's face but not their heart..."

Lin Shen's image within the Sect was generous and benevolent. He never argued with others, and spent almost all his time in secluded cultivation.

All the Elders and people who had come into contact with Lin Shen praised him highly.

Previously, Qin Mang had also yearned for Senior Brother Lin Shen, who was generous and benevolent, for a long time, and had long since developed the desire to make friends with him.

But now, upon seeing Lin Shen's true appearance, he was far too disappointed in his heart, truly never expecting that Senior Brother Lin Shen, who was generous and benevolent in Chiyun Valley, was actually such a demonic heretic.

Relying solely on that soul-absorbing banner and that blood fiend flying knife, who knew how many fellow Sect members and other innocent Cultivators he had secretly murdered.

"Lin Shen, it turns out to be you!"

Qin Ruyan was also quite astonished on the side. She looked at Lin Shen incredulously, a trace of anger in her eyes: "Well done, Lin Shen! Back then when you were in the Qin Family, my great-grandfather kindly guided you. I never expected that after you resolved Li Yifan, you wouldn't even tell the Qin Family this news, causing our Qin Family to waste many favors and resources over the past few years searching for Li Yifan's whereabouts."

Hearing Qin Ruyan's angry words, Lin Shen couldn't help finding it funny. He shrugged his shoulders and said: "The reason Qin Yuanming guided me was something I snatched myself, something I fought for on your Qin Family's arena. Furthermore, I killed Li Yifan and executed your Qin Family's enemy. It's one thing that you aren't grateful to me, but you actually accuse me here—ridiculous, simply utterly ridiculous..."

Hearing Lin Shen put it this way, Qin Ruyan choked on her words for a moment, but thinking of the price her Qin Family paid for Li Yifan's matter over the past few years, the anger in her heart burned rapidly.

However, just as she wanted to say something, Lin Shen continued to speak on the side: "When all is said and done, I am still your Qin Family's benefactor. If Li Yifan were allowed to grow up, who knows what monstrous disaster your Qin Family would suffer?

Is this the attitude to treat a benefactor? Did Qin Mingyuan and Leng Qiuyue not teach you these rules? Or are your Revered Master Leng Qiuyue and your Qin Family all such ungrateful people?

If they haven't taught you...

Very well, if no one is going to teach you the rules, I will!"

Feeling that the Spiritual Qi in his body had recovered quite a bit and the medicinal efficacy of the Medicinal Pill had also been absorbed, as his voice fell, Lin Shen directly stepped forward.

Terrifying thunder exploded and spread across the air.

The nine Flying Swords suspended before him rapidly darted out, and the terrifying Embryo of Thundering Sword Intent directly erupted.

Dianche Sword Technique!

Since his identity was exposed, to avoid complications arising from prolonged delays, Lin Shen directly struck with all his might.

As soon as he struck, it was a sword strike of Dianche Sword Technique!

True Interpretation of Blood River Sword Control was cast, and nine swords launched simultaneously. Every single sword erupted with the unique skill of Dianche Sword Technique that Lin Shen had comprehended.

These nine Flying Swords were extremely fast. Qin Mang, Murong Qingyue, Qin Ruyan, and the others never expected that Lin Shen would suddenly attack right in the middle of talking.

Feeling the terrifying might and speed erupted by these nine swords, the expressions in their eyes changed drastically.

At the critical juncture of life and death, the three of them each deployed their life-saving items, putting protective shields on themselves one after another.

At the same time, Murong Qingyue waved her hand fiercely, and a spiritual talisman appeared, directly transforming into a huge ice screen to block in front of the three of them.

Boom boom boom!

The nine Flying Swords rapidly crashed against the ice screen, and huge explosive sounds resounded one after another.

The nine Flying Swords were deflected away by this huge ice screen, but a large number of tiny cracks also appeared on it.

The terrifying lightning explosion permeated. Under the blessing of the Embryo of Thundering Sword Intent, it quickly surged inward along the tiny cracks on this huge ice screen, bursting forth with terrifying murderous intent.

"Dodge!"

Feeling that a tiny gap had already appeared in her life-saving protective item, Murong Qingyue's icy expression changed abruptly, and she couldn't help shouting loudly.

Her figure flickered rapidly, and blooming ice lotuses blossomed in front of her, swiftly shattering those terrifying Embryo of Thundering Sword Intent.

Qin Mang's reaction was also very fast. Relying on the formidable power of his Physical Body, he hard-endured the terrifying Embryo of Thundering Sword Intent one after another. Although there were a few fierce wounds on his body, his overall strength did not decrease at all; instead, these slight injuries made his Battle Intent and the blood Qi within his body boil even more fiercely.

However, because Qin Ruyan failed to react in time, coupled with the fact that her strongest life-saving trump card had already been consumed by her, relying merely on the shield in front of her was simply unable to resist this terrifying Embryo of Thundering Sword Intent.

Puff!

Streaks of the Embryo of Thundering Sword Intent erupted with extremely violent power along with the lightning. Incomparably sharp, they directly and forcefully tore apart and pierced through the shield in front of Qin Ruyan.

Immediately afterwards, streaks of the terrifying Embryo of Thundering Sword Intent directly pierced through Qin Ruyan's body, and the nine Flying Swords arrived right after. Qin Ruyan's head was directly slashed and sent flying off.

Having swiftly slain Qin Ruyan, under the feedback of True Interpretation of Blood River Sword Control, the blood Qi within Lin Shen's body boiled, and even his own Spiritual Qi recovered a little bit.

Moreover, to Lin Shen's great surprise, after slaying Qin Ruyan, the jade pendant within his chest became slightly warm, and wisps of Luck appeared inside it.

These wisps of Luck were extremely similar in aura to the Luck harvested from Li Yifan previously. Although there wasn't much—only four strands—it was still an additional harvest.

"This..."

Feeling the increase of Luck within the jade pendant, Lin Shen suddenly had a moment of realization.

These wisps of Luck being similar in aura to the Luck harvested from Li Yifan should not be the Luck on Qin Ruyan herself, but rather because she had been betrothed to Li Yifan for many years previously; although the engagement had already been called off, she would more or less be tainted with Li Yifan's Luck.

At once, Lin Shen instantly understood.

Why it was that when he observed with Heavenly Eye previously, Qin Ruyan's Luck was clearly quite ordinary, yet he was still able to gain Luck from her.

"Now it's your turn..."

Having swiftly slain Qin Ruyan, accompanied by the feedback of True Interpretation of Blood River Sword Control, a fierce glint flashed across Lin Shen's eyes. The terrifying blood fiend Qi within his body erupted, and the entire sky instantly turned completely crimson.
