“How?!" Liu Changcan yelled. “How did you learn the Leanbo Move Set?!” I saw it myself - you destroyed everything!”
He clearly remembered that ten years ago, Lin Yi, with a devilish smile, only glanced through the notes he had written and immediately tore him to shreds!
If he knew that the devil had somehow also learned the Linbo Move Set and also surpassed him in technique, he would never have dared to set foot in the territory of the Five Mountain Swords! This is suicide!
“But didn’t you think why I would ask you to write it then?” Lin Yi laughed, suddenly pouring a whole meridian of power into his legs and breaking the sound barrier with a loud bang..
Liu Changcan squeezed all the juice out of his meridians in horror, trying to tear himself away while his brain tried to find the answer to this riddle.
“You deceived me!” he suddenly understood. “You changed my notes and tore them up! Devil! You are a real devil!”
With a chuckle, Lin Yi used the Violet Mist Divine Skill once again to squeeze out all the energy of the second meridian, and with another bang, he suddenly caught up with Changcang and grabbed his shoulder..
Pulling it sharply towards himself, he hit the vulnerable point with two fingers, and the fat man’s body went limp as he walked..
At such a speed, he would have shattered into pieces, landing on the stones ahead, so Lin Yi, having difficulty finding his neck among the folds of fat, caught him and in a few leaps stopped with him at the very edge of the cliff.
The fat man's cottony legs hung directly above the sharp rocks far below.Looking there, Changzan became gloomy.
Lin Yi smiled and said:
“Familiar situation, right? Again you are in my arms and you cannot move. But if you fall now, all your fat won't help you. The bones may remain intact, but the organs will burst like balloons. Pooh. Chwack. Imagine this flight. A few seconds of whistling in my ears. Sh-sh-smack. And you will turn into a bag of bones. Oh, but don't be afraid. Just close your eyes. I guarantee you won’t feel anything, you’ll just disappear and that’s it. It won't hurt.”
Tears flowed around the thick cheeks, began to flow down the hands and drip into the abyss, scattering into tiny stars caught in the wind.
“Mister Lin, please don't kill me! Let me go, please! I really will never dare to disturb you again! I will never do this again, I really swear! Let me go, I beg you! Please! I beg you...”
Lin Yi smiled warmly and fatherly. And this smile made Changcan’s veins shake.
“Let go, you say? This is what I'm going to do.”
Looking down again, Changzan groaned:
“Master Lin, I beg you, don’t! Please, I will do anything! If you tell me to go east, I’ll go, but if I tell you to go west, I’ll still go! Even if you order me to hide in the mountains and never appear again, I will hide and never come down! I beg you!”
Grunting, Lin Yi suddenly threw it to the ground - just like then, and said:
“Now you know that you can't escape from me. Now I'll put the knocked out vertebra back in place. If you dare to take even a step without my permission, you will fly down the cliff. Understand?”
“I understand, I understand! I won’t run away, I swear, I promise!” Changzan immediately screamed.
He was truly terrified. All his hopes were completely destroyed - the devil turned out to be not only stronger than everyone in the world, but also faster than him!
Neither win, nor even escape... complete helplessness.
The only hope was to beg for mercy and serve this devil all my life. There was only one chance to escape - to become an impeccable expert. But it’s even more difficult than escaping from the devil’s palm!
His heart sank into his heels, and then fell into the very abyss. The whole vast world suddenly became so small.
Convinced by his complexion that Changcan understood the situation, Lin Yi smiled and with two fingers, with a nasty click, he set the vertebra back.
He no longer wanted to look at the man who looked more like a lump of lard in the mud, so, putting his hands behind his back, Lin Yi turned to the dark sky and muttered:
“The sky is darkest just before dawn.”
The righteous path was in its darkest era. But the dawn has already appeared on the horizon!
“M-Master Lin?..” muttered Changzan, standing up and straightening his clothes..
Bowing at the waist, he was about to ask what he should do now, but the stern voice of the devil came first:
“I will not make you a slave for life. Do two things for me and you can go wherever you want. The world is big, just don't get caught by the Five Mountain Swords.”
Changzan became gloomy. The world is big, yes, and it belonged entirely to the Five Mountain Swords Sect! Where else could he go? Only to the ocean!
Despite all the grievances, Changcan did not dare to complain or express dissatisfaction. He nodded happily and vowed:
“Please, just tell me what needs to be done, I will do it! I promise! To run across a sea of fire, to dance under blades!”
“Okay, that's exactly what you'll have to do. Your first task: to penetrate the headquarters of the Ming and Sacred cults, and find out what forces they have now.”
“To the headquarters of large cults? muttered Changzan, growing gloomy.
“You yourself said that you are ready for anything, didn’t you? Besides, what do you have to be afraid of? You somehow got into the headquarters of the Five Mountain Swords undetected, it certainly won’t be any more difficult there. Damn it, if I, the leader of the righteous path, had not gone out to hunt for you personally, who the hell would have caught you. You have no one to fear in this world except me..”
Changzan fell silent. He thought to himself: Is it really possible to compare the Five Mountain Swords with two vicious cults? There, according to rumors, their territories are so poor that they have to settle almost on top of each other, so almost all of the western lands are a wasteland with rare spots of crowds. And his speed against demons will help him a lot if they throw one poisonous needle and screw him.
But what could he say to the devil? All I could do was nod, internally cursing myself..
“Okay,” Lin Yi nodded, pleased with his newly acquired assistant. “You can complete the second task during the first one. When you go to the Ming Cult, find Lady Ruo'er of the Ancient Tomb Sect who was kidnapped by Ao Tianjiao. Find out if she's still alive. There is no need to save, it would be dangerous to run away with such a burden. Just let me know what's wrong with her.”
“Got it,” Changcan nodded, much more lively this time - the girls were already more pleasant to him, and even more so it turned out that, in fact, he only had to complete one errand and would be free!
But while he was rejoicing, Lin Yi suddenly said:
“Both of these tasks must be completed before I launch an attack on the evil cults..”
“O-okay...” muttered Changzan, much weaker and gloomier this time..
He heard that the Five Mountain Swords were gathering an army, and that there was only a month and a half left before the attack began. But the vicious cults are so far away! It will take him three or four weeks just to get there and back - after all, he will have to walk carefully so as not to get caught by anyone!
Such a dangerous task in such a short time frame!
“Once you complete it, you will be free. The world is huge, and you can fly, so feel like a bird in the sky,” Lin Yi chuckled..
Seeing that devilish smile again, Changzan turned pale.
He stood there in a stupor for a couple of seconds, after which he quickly folded his hands, said goodbye to Lin Yi, and flew to the foot of Mount Hua.
Lin Yi smiled.
The fat man knew how to choose the time! Unprecedented luck - he was lucky to stumble upon a legendary technique, then to Lin Yi, then to develop the furthest in speed, then to get caught by Lin Yi again. The most unlucky lucky guy in this world.
Initially, Lin Yi himself was going to get into the headquarters of large cults and find out whether their leaders were going to fight together or separately, but now Changcan will do everything for him.
For anyone else the task would be impossible, but not for the best flower thief of all time. All that was left was to sit back and wait for news..
Returning to Feifei Palace and Linghu Feng, Lin Yi said:
“I caught your thief. I didn’t kill him, I found a better use for him, but he will never dare to catch your eye again.”
“Big Brother Lin,” Feifei exhaled gratefully, immediately blushing with embarrassment..
Linghu Feng nodded seriously. Of course, he would like to kill the freak, but he was not going to argue with Lin Yi’s decision, much less kill the offender with the wrong hands.
After making sure that the conflict had been resolved, Lin Yi nodded to them, said goodbye, and went to the main palace with a slight smile on his face..
