Chapter 556, Chapter 563-564, Saving Thirteen (Two chapters combined, requesting monthly vote)

Sima Yan's body trembled; this voice blew into his ears, immediately causing his entire body to turn cold.

"Half a year after you left, the two of them went missing… I don't know where they went either!"

Wang Lin looked at Sima Yan coldly, not bothering to waste any more words with him. His left hand formed a sword shape with two fingers and suddenly pressed against the center of his forehead. The Soul Searching Technique was cast once again by Wang Lin!

Sima Yan's body convulsed violently, and blood flowed from his seven orifices. His eyes, in particular, bulged outward as if they were about to burst.

Wang Lin's Divine Sense searched continuously within Sima Yan's mind. Sima Yan's memories from the past year or so were immediately revealed to Wang Lin without leaving anything out.

Half a year after he left, Thirteen and tiger roar had a dispute. tiger roar did not intend to continue waiting and prepared to leave the barracks to return to his tribe, while Thirteen was determined to wait here for Wang Lin to return.

In the end, tiger roar left, but his departure was not successful. Sima Yan made a move, easily capturing tiger roar, and on the grounds of violating military regulations, crippled his entire cultivation and threw him into the black prison. Three months after tiger roar entered the black prison, he suddenly went missing mysteriously!

The black prison was heavily guarded, and even Sima Yan did not know how tiger roar had gone missing.

As for Thirteen, when Sima Yan made a move to capture tiger roar, he tried to help tiger roar, but in the end, he was no match for Sima Yan and had all his bones crushed by him. He was supposed to be thrown into the black prison as well, but the Commander saw him and took the dying Thirteen away!

These scenes of memory unfolded before Wang Lin's eyes. The cold light in Wang Lin's eyes grew intense, and in his extreme anger, he laughed instead of getting furious, saying the word "Good" three times in a row!

The cold light in his eyes grew stronger and stronger. Looking at Sima Yan, whose eyes were bulging and pupils were unfocused, he instantly circulated the Slaughter Immortal Technique. He saw the man's body begin to wither at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a few breaths, Sima Yan's body collapsed with a bang, turning into chunks of flesh and blood that fell all around. At the same time, wisps of gray qi drifted out from those pieces of flesh and blood, instantly condensing between the fingers of Wang Lin's right hand.

It is very difficult to refine the Slaughter Immortal Technique, but this time, under Wang Lin's rage, it was refined from Sima Yan.

After killing Sima Yan, Wang Lin looked at the man in black armor not far away. In Sima Yan's memory, it was this person who had taken the dying Thirteen away!

Wang Lin took a step, and with that single step, he arrived in front of the man in black armor, coldly saying: "Where is Thirteen!"

The black-armored man looked up and stared at Wang Lin. He was silent for a long time before saying: "The person you are talking about, is it that savage who was crippled by Sima Yan half a year ago? If it is him, then it is useless to look for me.

The Demon General gave an order many years ago to find people with sufficient physical strength. That savage had all his Demonic Qi gathered on his body, using a strange method of Body Refining. His physical strength met the Demon General's requirements. After I saw that savage, I treated his injuries and then sent him to the Demon General!

Commander Wang, if you have the ability, there is no need to show off here. Do you dare to go and ask the Demon General for him? Rest assured, this matter involves the Demon General, I will not lie!" The man looked at Wang Lin and sneered.

"You saved Thirteen, but then sent him to the Demon General. Your merits and faults cancel each other out, so I will not kill you!" Wang Lin's expression was grim. He stepped forward, and his whole body immediately turned into a wisp of green smoke drifting toward the sky, heading straight for the palace in the center of the Ancient Demon City where the Demon General was located.

When the black-armored man spoke, he had already prepared for the worst. He had lost to Wang Lin and never intended to survive anyway. Hearing this, he was stunned.

Looking up and seeing the green smoke Wang Lin had turned into on the horizon, he hesitated for a moment and said: "The Demon General went into seclusion half a year ago, and all Teleportation Formations have been sealed. If you want to go, you can only storm the palace. That is all I will say!" After he finished speaking, he touched his chest and walked away into the distance; he was seriously injured and needed to return to his palace to go into seclusion and heal.

Wang Lin turned into green smoke along the way, spreading his Divine Sense in mid-air and sweeping across the area. All the Teleportation Formations in the Ancient Demon City that led to the Demon General's location were closed. This closure was locked from the inside and had nothing to do with the Formation's Restrictions; unless the Demon General opened them from the inside, it was impossible to teleport.

"I brought Thirteen and tiger roar to this Ancient Demon City, but I ended up implicating them…" Wang Lin sighed inwardly. When he left before, he did not expect that he would fall into a deep sleep in that Immortal Cave. Due to a twist of fate, he had harmed Thirteen and tiger roar.

"In this world, there are things that should be done and things that should not be done. Cultivators seek longevity and to escape the pull of heavenly fate; they should avoid trouble and welcome heavenly fate! Thirteen and tiger roar are neither relatives nor friends to me. For their sake, I am storming the palace and going against the Demon General, which is equivalent to going against this Heavenly Demon County!

There is a saying that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. In this regard, it is not worth it!

But, as I, Wang Lin, walk between heaven and earth, I do not seek to follow rules and conform to the Dao. I only seek to live my life with a clear conscience. I am neither a gentleman nor a villain, neither sincere nor hypocritical. It is just that regarding the affairs of the world, there are some things, for the sake of obsession, that must be done!

From this point of view, I am not suitable to be a Cultivator!

However, there are some things that I must do! If I do not save Thirteen, then what kind of Dao am I, Wang Lin, seeking in my life!" Wang Lin looked up at the sky, his mind made up!

From the barracks to the palace where the Demon General is located, there are six gates. If there is no Teleportation Formation, one can only enter the interior after breaking through them one by one.

Inside and outside the six gates, the guards were strict, and the place was shrouded in a Formation, making it impossible to perform any teleportation.

Outside the sixth gate, Wang Lin revealed his figure. The sixth gate before him was about ten zhang high, connected to the outer walls, and the light of the Formation's Restrictions flickered incessantly upon it.

As soon as Wang Lin appeared, shouts came from the guards under the gate.

"Stop, visitor! Leave immediately! If you take another step, you will be killed without mercy!"

Wang Lin looked up, his eyes icy cold. He took a deep breath and wiped his Storage Pouch. The immortal sword immediately flew out, circling in front of him, and from within it came Xu Ligou's incessant roars.

Once the immortal sword appeared, the guards outside the sixth gate immediately revealed killing intent in their eyes, staring fixedly at Wang Lin.

Wang Lin took a step, and those guards immediately rushed forward, each unleashing their Demonic Power to stop Wang Lin.

Facing these demon soldiers, Wang Lin did not stop his pace, stepping forward one by one. The immortal sword beside him whistled and sped away. Anyone who tried to block Wang Lin's path would first have to face the Sword Light.

Bursts of miserable groans echoed. Wang Lin leaped up, stepped onto the immortal sword, and charged directly toward the sixth gate. Before his body arrived, the Sword Light had already whistled out, turning into a ten-zhang beam of light that landed on the sixth gate.

"Boom!"

The sixth gate shattered, turning into countless fragments that swept backward. In the square between the sixth gate and the fifth gate, there were thousands of demon soldiers who were immediately hit by the fragments and retreated one after another.

As the sixth gate shattered, Wang Lin walked in.

"I want to see the Demon General!" His voice was calm, but it contained a sense of majesty that slowly spread out.

"Kill!" A roar of "Kill" came from the mouths of the thousands of demon soldiers in the square. Their mission was to kill all intruders while the Demon General was in seclusion.

Facing the thousands of demon soldiers, Wang Lin's expression was composed and his gaze was cold. He leaped forward, stepped off the immortal sword, formed Hand Seals with both hands, and waved forward. Immediately, a strange wind rose out of thin air, forming a hurricane Vortex that roared and filled the square, forcibly blowing a passage through the thousands of demon soldiers.

As Wang Lin stepped forward, he crossed the square directly and arrived under the fifth gate!

His body did not pause in the slightest. He formed Hand Seals with his right hand, condensed immortal power, and pressed it onto the fifth gate.

"Bang!" The fifth gate collapsed. The powerful impact caused the fragments of this gate to scatter in all directions, like a storm.

Behind the fifth gate, the tens of thousands of demon soldiers already knew that someone was storming the palace. At this moment, they were battle-ready. The moment the fifth gate collapsed, these tens of thousands of demon soldiers immediately shouted in unison. At the same time, their Demonic Power condensed in a strange way, forming an oppressive Demonic Qi.

The moment the fifth gate shattered, this Demonic Qi rushed forward crazily.

With Wang Lin's cultivation, facing this Demonic Power, he had to take a few steps back to avoid its edge. At the same time, he slapped his Storage Pouch, and three nameless Scabbards obtained from the Vermilion Bird Star immediately flew out of the Storage Pouch.

Immediately after, three streaks of Sword Qi suddenly surged out from the Scabbards, like three angry Dragons, rushing into the fifth gate and colliding with the Demonic Qi.

Bursts of rumbling echoed, as if the earth itself were shaking.

Wang Lin's body turned into a streak of lightning, with the immortal sword clearing the way, and he stepped into the fifth gate. The tens of thousands of demon soldiers' Demonic Power crisscrossed like a wall of Demonic Power, blocking Wang Lin's advance.

Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He took out the Restriction Banner, and with a shake, countless Restrictions turned into black qi, like black swimming Dragons, circling wildly outside his body.

Relying on the Sword Qi from the Scabbards, the Sword Light from the immortal sword, and the black qi from the Restriction Banner, Wang Lin advanced like a hot knife through butter, stepping forward.

At this moment, the thousands of demon soldiers outside the fifth gate also charged in, forming a siege on Wang Lin from behind.

"Demon General, Wang Lin requests an audience!" Wang Lin's voice slowly spread. He believed that even if the Demon General was in seclusion, he would definitely be able to hear it!

But as time passed, there was no reaction from the Demon General at all.

At this moment, Wang Lin was surrounded by demon soldiers on all sides. The cold light in Wang Lin's eyes was intense. Along this journey, he had not taken the initiative to slaughter, but at this moment, he had no choice but to kill!

Facing the encirclement, Wang Lin raised his thumb. The power of the Annihilation Finger was unleashed at this instant. The heaven and earth changed color. Within a hundred zhang radius, all the demon soldiers immediately froze, rapidly withered, and all their flesh, blood, and Demonic Power poured out crazily, merging into Wang Lin's thumb!

Wang Lin's body was like a streak of lightning, heading straight for the fourth gate. Along the way, no one could stop him for even half a step.

His thumb pressed onto the fourth gate in an instant!

"Boom!" The fourth gate collapsed. At this instant, an aged figure stepped out from within the fourth gate. A massive amount of Demonic Power turned into a giant python, which rushed out directly and swallowed toward Wang Lin.

"Get back!" At the same time, a weathered voice shouted lowly.

Wang Lin's thumb collided with the giant python formed by the Demonic Power. At this instant, Wang Lin retreated one step, while the giant python let out a mournful cry, its body collapsing inch by inch. Behind the giant python, that aged figure swayed suddenly, let out a muffled grunt, and stumbled backward several zhang, only then steadying his body.

Wang Lin stepped forward, crossing the fourth gate in one stride. Revealed before his eyes, besides countless demon soldiers, was an old man with gray hair!

This old man was not a stranger to Wang Lin; he was the very person who had gone to the Black Armor barracks with the managing officer more than a year ago!

The old man's face was pale, and his eyes revealed an expression of disbelief. He had seen Wang Lin more than a year ago; at that time, the other party's cultivation was about the same as his own. But meeting again today, the other party's cultivation had surged explosively. If not for the fact that he had relied on the momentum of the Yao soldiers and opened all the Seals within his body, almost resorting to a sneak attack, he feared the other party would not have retreated a single step!

Wang Lin stepped into this place, and the might of his Silence Finger was displayed once again. The old man let out a low roar, and immediately, his Demonic Power surged throughout his body. The giant python condensed and manifested again, and he merged his entire body into the giant python, suddenly swallowing toward Wang Lin once more.

"Since the Yao General refuses to see me, then do not blame Wang for commencing a slaughter!" Wang Lin's eyes flashed with a cold glint. The slaughter qi between his fingers immediately dispersed and rapidly merged into the surroundings.

Within his eyes, a dense red light suddenly surged, containing monstrous killing intent. At this moment, Wang Lin unleashed the Slaughter Immortal Technique without hesitation!

The slaughter qi filled the heaven and earth. Wang Lin did not tangle with the giant python but instead flickered his body, charging into the Yao soldiers like lightning. With a wave of his hand, a Spell was unleashed, and a Yao soldier died.

Along with the Yao soldiers within the fifth and sixth gates behind him, tens of thousands of Yao soldiers surrounded Wang Lin, charging madly. As their Demonic Power surged, they coordinated with each other to manifest a Formation.

Once these Formations took shape, they immediately condensed the Demonic Power of all the Yao soldiers, sometimes transforming into Yao Beasts, sometimes into Yao weapons. Amidst the rumbling sounds and waves of colorful Divine Abilities, they continuously launched attacks against Wang Lin.

Facing these Yao soldiers, Wang Lin deeply realized that in the Demon Spirit Land, the power of one person could not be Heaven-Defying!

Unless one's Divine Ability was monstrous, it would be extremely difficult to break out from the Demonic Power condensed by the Formations of these countless Yao soldiers!

He could kill one person, ten people, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand! But after killing them, the Immortal power within his body would be exhausted!

Wang Lin's Magic Treasures—the Immortal Sword, curved saber, Restriction Banner, and Scabbard—were controlled by his Divine Sense around him, unleashing endless slaughter. Compared to these Magic Treasures, his Slaughter Immortal Technique held an even greater advantage. With every person killed, the Slaughter Immortal Technique gained a sliver of power. Although perhaps not one in a hundred could condense gray qi, as the slaughter continued, this range was constantly narrowing.

Wang Lin's eyes were filled with slaughter, and various Divine Abilities and Spells were constantly manifested from his hands.

However, there were too many Yao soldiers around. After their Demonic Power fused, the Demonic Power Divine Abilities they unleashed were also extremely strong. Consequently, even though Wang Lin's cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Late Stage of Nascent Soul Transformation, the Immortal power within his body was depleting rapidly!

Wang Lin slapped his Storage Pouch, and a large amount of Immortal Jade immediately flew out, circling outside his body. With one inhalation, these Immortal Jades instantly turned into dust, and the Immortal power merged into his body, quickly replenishing the consumption. Repeating this cycle, a large amount of Immortal Jade was consumed.

"Devil Transformation Finger!" Wang Lin did not trigger the devilish thoughts within his body but instead used his Great Perfection of the Late Stage of Nascent Soul Transformation cultivation to unleash his second killing move. Once the Devil Transformation appeared, the Demonic Power between heaven and earth was crazily pushed away by a burst of Devilish Qi. As the Devilish Power surged, Wang Lin's right index finger was like a life-reaping Yama; as he pressed down with one finger, the area within a hundred zhang was filled with popping sounds. Countless Yao soldiers had their bodies infiltrated by Devilish Qi and immediately exploded madly.

Waves of bloody light immediately stained the heaven and earth. Wang Lin stepped forward, forcing his way through the tens of thousands of Yao soldiers to carve out a bloody path, heading straight for the third gate!

Under this finger, the blood on the surrounding ground immediately transformed into a Blood Dragon, rushing out along with the Devil Transformation Finger. The old man who had transformed into a giant python wanted to stop the Blood Dragon, but the moment he tried to block it, his body went pop and collapsed!

He died under the Devil Transformation Finger!

The Blood Dragon driven by the Devil Transformation Finger imprinted onto the third gate, and after a rumbling sound, the third gate collapsed!

Amidst the collapse, another ten thousand Yao soldiers charged out from within. Among these Yao soldiers were five old men with white hair. Their eyes were like lightning, and as they walked out with the Yao soldiers, they locked onto Wang Lin.

Wang Lin sighed inwardly. With his power, reaching this point was already the limit. The five old men who had come out each had a cultivation not weaker than the Late Stage of Nascent Soul Transformation.

Coupled with the tens of thousands of Yao soldiers surrounding him, Wang Lin knew that if he wanted to break through the second gate, he could only use the last of all his Divine Abilities!

The must-kill strike taught by Situ Nan was the most powerful among Wang Lin's Divine Abilities, earth-shattering and infinitely close to a Low Grade Immortal Spell—the third killing move!

"In the Demon Spirit Land, military power is paramount; this saying is indeed true. If I had hundreds of thousands of Yao soldiers not weaker than the Core Formation stage, even a Soul Transformation Cultivator would be defeated all the same! If I had millions of Yao soldiers not weaker than the Core Formation stage, plus some commanders and generals at the level of battalion commanders, combined with Formations, I would dare to fight even a Soul Transformation Late Stage Cultivator! Likewise, if I had the territory of a Yao Emperor, gathering hundreds of millions of Yao soldiers, combined with Yao Marshals and Yao Generals, then even if there were Cultivators who had reached the Yin and Yang Concepts of the Soul Transformation stage, what would there be to fear!"

As Wang Lin sighed, facing these tens of thousands of Yao soldiers and the five old men equivalent to the Late Stage of Nascent Soul Transformation, he raised the little finger of his right hand and swept it forward in a circle that appeared slow!

"Yellow Springs!"

Wang Lin softly spat out these two words!

The Yellow Springs Finger, the killing move among the three killing moves! It was infinitely close to a Low Grade Immortal Spell; even Situ Nan had been greatly hesitant when he first taught it!

As he pointed with one finger, the sky suddenly darkened. Bolts of thunder suddenly appeared, streaking across the horizon. At the same time, the entire sky seemed to have been parted by a hand, and a huge landscape Scroll appeared, spreading across the horizon.

This Yellow Springs Finger invoked Wang Lin's Concept Divine Ability. Waves of gray qi crazily spread out from the Scroll in the sky, fusing together at an unimaginable speed to form yet another Yellow Springs Finger manifested from gray qi!

Wang Lin's hair fluttered without wind. The slaughter qi in his eyes was dense, and his whole body was surrounded by gray qi, reflecting the other Yellow Springs Finger manifested in the sky.

As he pointed, the tens of thousands of Yao soldiers surrounding Wang Lin almost all paused. Wisps of gray qi suddenly dissipated from the tops of their heads and rapidly merged into the Yellow Springs Finger composed of gray qi in the sky.

At the same time, Wang Lin's body ascended into the air, his entire person merging with the Yellow Springs Finger. At this moment, between heaven and earth, only this finger remained!

One Finger, Yellow Springs!

Merged within the Yellow Springs, Wang Lin suddenly charged out, heading straight for the second gate.

Those five old men with cultivation equivalent to the Late Stage of Nascent Soul Transformation, despite being shocked in their hearts by that Yellow Springs Finger, still gritted their teeth and charged out, unleashing their Demonic Power to block him.

But they still underestimated the power of the Yellow Springs Finger. Back when Wang Lin was at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul Transformation, unleashing this Yellow Springs Finger allowed him to fight Sun Tao, who was at the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation. Although he failed, this finger had given Sun Tao a great shock!

At this moment, Wang Lin's cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Late Stage of Nascent Soul Transformation. This Yellow Springs Finger, when unleashed by him, was enough to threaten Soul Transformation Cultivators!

This was Wang Lin's true killing move!

Under this finger, the five old men all spat out blood. Their bodies retreated involuntarily, unable to stop Wang Lin by even a single step!

Before Wang Lin had even approached the second gate, it collapsed under the momentum of his Yellow Springs. Inside the second gate, there were no Yao soldiers; only one person stood there!

This person was short in stature, but his eyes were like lightning. The moment the second gate collapsed, and at the instant Wang Lin's Yellow Springs Finger descended, he let out a low roar. He formed Hand Seals in front of him like a Cultivator, overlapped his hands, and pushed forward.

A sound like a storm sweeping across the earth immediately echoed. It could be seen that Wang Lin's Yellow Springs Finger stopped three inches away from this person's hands. Between his hands and the finger, a fist-sized small ball formed. This small ball was pure white, and within it, countless black lightning bolts rumbled and flashed continuously.

That short person persisted for three breaths, then his body immediately slid backward, leaving two deep scratches on the ground. He was not retreating of his own volition but was being pushed by Wang Lin's Yellow Springs Finger!

He had to retreat. If he persisted further, he knew in his heart that he would definitely not be able to take this finger. Forcing himself to take it would only result in his body collapsing!

This retreat went directly back a hundred zhang. As the short person let out a low shout, he forcefully stopped. Wang Lin's Yellow Springs Finger, three inches from his palms, was like a Vortex, constantly absorbing his vitality.

"Commander Wang!! I am the First Battalion Commander under the Yao General. What exactly are you trying to do!!"

"I want to see the Yao General!" Just as Wang Lin's voice fell, from outside the two gates behind him, a large amount of gray qi once again dispersed from the bodies of those tens of thousands of Yao soldiers. These gray qi were like gray dragons, instantly merging into Wang Lin's body from all directions.

This was the power of the Yellow Springs Finger!

A large amount of gray qi merged into Wang Lin's body. He knew in his heart that every wisp of gray qi was a life! As these gray qi entered his body, the power of the Yellow Springs Finger instantly reached a Peak!

The short person immediately felt the power of this Peak clearly. His expression changed greatly, and his body retreated again.

This time, his body was pushed directly onto the first gate. With a loud pop, the first gate collapsed!

At the same time, this short person spat out a mouthful of blood, his body thrown far away. The moment his body was thrown out, a tall figure stepped out from within the first gate. This person did not say a word, directly raising a fist and meeting Wang Lin's Yellow Springs Finger!

Wang Lin felt the Battle Intent contained within this punch with extreme clarity almost instantly!

Ten-Collapse Fist Intent!

Like a flood, it swept over with monstrous force. First collapse, second collapse, third collapse… In the blink of an eye, this Ten-Collapse Fist Intent came in a raging wave, each wave stronger than the last!

Seventh collapse, eighth collapse, ninth collapse! The endless Fist Intent, as if heaven and earth had merged into one place, crashed down. Wang Lin's Yellow Springs Finger shone brightly with gray qi at this moment, and the slaughter in his eyes became monstrous.

Tenth collapse! With a loud rumbling sound, the earth around Wang Lin and that figure seemed to have been overturned, rapidly spreading violently in all directions. It actually formed a layer of waves like the surface of the sea, and in its expansion, it affected a radius of ten miles.

— — These two chapters have great continuity; reading them separately is not satisfying, so they are combined! Requesting monthly votes to protect my chrysanthemum. I survived one day yesterday, and today I have to face being overtaken again. When will this ever end!
