138: Chapter 138 The God Who Purifies Evil

The Undying Divine Light shattered.

The final crack burst open from the spot where Lin Duwu's fist struck, and that layer of golden light film turned into countless tiny specks of light, drifting away in the wind.

Lin Duwu walked through that layer of dissipating golden light, and then he saw that sword.

It was a longsword formed by condensed golden light, and the seven fiendish markings on the blade lit up one by one, each brighter and heavier than the last.

This highly oppressive sword of light was held in the hands of the golden figure.

The golden light flowing along the blade reflected on his face, dyeing his pupils gold.

What Qin Ling was holding in his hand was naturally the fully condensed Seven-Kill Demon-Slaying Sword.

His fingers rested on the hilt, and he did not slash down immediately.

He was waiting.

If Lin Duwu continued to attack, this sword strike would instantly cleave Lin Duwu apart!

Lin Duwu's body froze there, and he did not throw another punch.

He lowered his head and saw the wound stretching diagonally from his shoulder to his collarbone.

The wisps of evil qi that had been continuously drifting outward were gone.

The wound was still there, and the split flesh was still there, but that evil qi was gone.

He stood frozen in place as the thunder light gradually dissipated behind him, and the dark clouds also dispersed.

The evil qi must have been struck into nothingness by the lightning!

Lin Duwu's eyes were filled with disbelief, and he immediately began circulating the vital blood within his body.

Internal energy surged out from his sea of qi, traveling upward along his meridians.

Then, he no longer felt even a shred of the disturbance from evil qi.

Ever since he was injured by an evil entity years ago, he had never felt so refreshed and clear-headed!

Not daring to be careless, Lin Duwu urged his vital blood from his sea of qi and circulated it once along his meridians.

From his dantian to his limbs, and from his limbs to his hundred bones, every single meridian was traversed.

The evil qi that had once coiled within his body like a venomous snake was gone.

Although there were still quite a few traces and injuries infected by evil qi inside his body, not a single wisp of evil qi remained.

Lin Duwu's eye sockets turned red. He circulated it once more, making sure he hadn't missed any spot, and confirming that the evil qi had truly been purified.

Confirming that the damned evil qi that had tortured him for many years and blocked his martial arts path was truly gone!

Lin Duwu's heartbeat accelerated.

It was just like the heartbeat surging in his chest back in the year he received the imperial decree for the top martial arts scholar from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Lin Duwu raised his head and looked at the sword-wielding golden figure before him.

His gaze shifted away from the Seven-Kill Demon-Slaying Sword and landed on the face of the golden figure.

That face was still unclear, but those eyes were bright and calm like the sea.

He was not a fool, and of course he knew that those lightning bolts just now were abnormal.

During the first lightning strike, those purple lights fell upon him.

The gray evil qi was hacked by the lightning light, crashing about wildly inside his body until his meridians felt like they were about to explode.

The second lightning strike was different.

Those purple lights descended and smashed onto him, furthermore purifying the evil qi inside his body.

The Seven-Kill Demon-Slaying Sword in Qin Ling's hand was still glowing, with the seven fiendish markings flowing across the blade, and the tip pointing in Lin Duwu's direction.

Seeing that Lin Duwu was no longer moving, he did not slash down.

In fact, just as Lin Duwu thought, the first wave of lightning and the second wave of lightning were different.

For the first wave of lightning, Qin Ling had only used Summoning Lightning.

As for the second wave of lightning, he tried to merge Divine Technique: Exorcism into Summoning Lightning.

After hearing about Lin Duwu's Secretary Jingli from Pei Se, Qin Ling wanted to try this divine technique combination.

And the result was that this divine technique combination succeeded; he successfully merged Divine Technique: Exorcism into Summoning Lightning.

The final result was that he consumed 200 incense points, completely dissipating the evil qi on Lin Duwu's body.

This scene also made Qin Ling realize that his Divine Technique: Exorcism could not only purify the evil qi on evil entities.

Even the evil qi that contaminated martial artists could be purified!

Qin Ling looked at Lin Duwu before him; he did this entirely because he heard about Lin Duwu's past from Pei Se.

A fellow who volunteered to guard a local region and dared to make a move against evil entities.

Lin Duwu truly deserved the name of top martial arts scholar.

As a deity, Qin Ling was naturally on the opposite side of evil entities, but even he had to admit that in this world, evil entities were indeed far too terrifying and tricky.

This was also why both martial artists and demons avoided evil entities like the plague.

For Lin Duwu to dare to make a move against evil entities already surpassed far too many martial artists.

Lin Duwu looked at that golden figure mid-air.

His gaze was at first dazed, like someone who had just woken up from a nearly twenty-year-long nightmare, unable to distinguish between the dream and reality.

The daze in his eyes turned into disbelief, and then from disbelief into puzzled contemplation.

In the end, these looks all transformed into burning fervor.

He looked up at that golden figure and mused,

"Shouldn't someone with this kind of ability be a deity?"

"No, that's not right!"

"Lord Qinling right before my eyes is a deity!"

"Not that disgusting evil entity coiled on the ceiling of the Cangsheng Cult temple!"

The look in Lin Duwu's eyes as he gazed at Lord Qinling grew even more devout.

Thinking that he actually dared to make a move against a deity, he even began to somewhat despise himself.

Especially since the other party not only didn't kill him, but also purified the evil qi within his body, allowing him to return to the path of martial arts and letting him live.

Thinking of this, Lin Duwu knelt straight down, his knees smashing into the ground and creating two shallow pits.

He opened his mouth to repent, saying,

"Lord Qinling, I am guilty."

"I had no intention of offending the deity; it was simply because I was previously afflicted by evil qi, my martial arts path was cut off, and my time of death was approaching."

"Therefore, I was bewitched by the saintess of the Cangsheng Cult, who claimed that as long as I came to kill Lord Qinling, she could help me resolve the problem of evil qi infection."

"Because what this Cangsheng Cult enshrines is an evil entity..."

Lin Duwu told the whole story of what happened previously.

After finishing, he directly kowtowed and said,

"Lord Qinling, from now on, I am willing to stay by Lord Qinling's side forever and worship devoutly."

"As long as Lord Qinling does not disdain it, this life of mine, Lin Duwu, belongs to Lord Qinling."

The reason Lin Duwu said this was, on one hand, that he was truly captivated by this deity's actions and was willing to become a believer.

On the other hand, he recognized Lord Qinling's unique and peerless ability.

In this world, there was actually a deity who possessed the ability to purify evil qi?!

This was simply incredible!

You must know that for martial artists of high-turn realms, they could avoid the affliction of evil qi by staying away from evil entities.

But even so, that world pollution from an unknown source would continuously contaminate martial artists of the Fourth-Turn realm and above.

Furthermore, as a martial artist's realm grew higher and higher, this world pollution would become increasingly severe.

Therefore, even if a martial artist avoided fighting evil entities, they would ultimately end up in a situation where evil qi affliction was severe and their martial arts path halted.

But what if there was Lord Qinling, who possessed the ability to purify evil qi, by their side?

Wouldn't that mean a martial artist could ignore world pollution and continuously advance on their martial arts path!

At the mere thought of this, Lin Duwu couldn't help feeling his blood boil all over.

In this lifetime, he was following Lord Qinling to the end!

No matter who tried to persuade him, it wouldn't work!

That's what top scholar Lin said!
