How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!
Chapter 404: Li Ren Tears Fall

Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Li Ren Tears Fall

Shocking God laughed heartily: "Jumping off a cliff merely to escape, but do you think you can truly escape?"

"No! Jumping off the cliff because I’ve already planned to kill you here!"

Shocking God’s eyes suddenly narrowed, boundless murderous intent enveloped, and in the pool, the ripples seemed to be completely suppressed at this moment.

Lin Xiaosu looked at him, there was no tension in his eyes facing a crisis, no killing intent of the battlefield, but a leisurely ease like spring rain enveloping the sky.

"Die!" Shocking God’s hand suddenly lifted.

Under the Heavenly Tao Wisdom Eye, his hand seemed to vibrate thousands of times in an instant, the entire pool of water, every drop seemed to fall into a strange state of vibration.

Vibration!

It is his killing move!

His vibration, tearing everything apart!

Lin Xiaosu’s hand suddenly lifted...

The sword in his hand drew a beautiful arc...

Yes, beautiful!

It seemed like during the spring rain, an umbrella twirled, with a free-spirited, carefree, lively elf in the rain.

A lone line formed, countless droplets leisurely rose.

Shocking God’s vibration tore everything, yet it couldn’t tear through the mysterious spring rain.

In an instant, the deep dark pool bottom seemed to become a misty Jiangnan.

The mysterious spring rain enveloped Shocking God.

A beautiful ripple bloomed on Shocking God’s forehead.

Followed by a second, a third...

In the blink of an eye, Shocking God’s entire body bloomed with eighty-one petals!

Shocking God’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"This technique is called Li Ren Tears!" Lin Xiaosu floated gracefully: "With my cultivation, I actually lack the ability to perform it, but I can borrow water to execute it. This is the real reason I jumped off the cliff!"

Puff!

A stream of blood shot from Shocking God’s forehead.

The blood was silvery white.

Puff puff puff!

Dozens of streams of blood shot simultaneously.

From inside out!

Shocking God looked upwards, seemingly wanting to see the night’s sky one last time, yet he could only see the misty Jiangnan rain...

Thud!

He fell just like that!

Lin Xiaosu’s General’s Uniform was already dry, but his back was still faintly soaked with cold sweat.

The sweat on his back was out of fear!

And this fear was due to facing the wonder of this move, Li Ren Tears, truly an exotic flower of Sword Dao, appearing soft and gentle at first glance, seemingly infinitely beautiful, infinitely weak.

Yet, it’s all a facade of Sword Dao.

The tyranny of Li Ren Tears is astonishing!

Sword intent like spring rain can transform the opponent’s internal blood into the sword intent’s extension.

The one who killed the invulnerable Shocking God was indeed the blood within Shocking God’s own body.

The blood turned into a sword, killing him from inside out!

Who could withstand such a sword technique?

As long as it’s a living being, it seems unstoppable!

The start of wielding this sword lies in Observing Heaven!

He is still quite far from Observing Heaven, yet someday, he will break through...

Once breaking through to Observing Heaven, who in the Great Thousand World can withstand this sword?

Such distant aspirations must be set aside for now.

He needs to implement the next step of his strategy.

Today, in the face-off with Shocking God, Shocking God was reluctant to forgo the chance to expose his old secrets, and Lin was equally reluctant to forgo the chance to reveal the opponent’s hidden card.

What Shocking God obtained is unimportant.

With Shocking God dead, nothing matters.

The crucial point is, Lin Xiaosu confirmed a hypothesis...

That is: the Divine Temple still holds hidden cards!

In opposing Utopia, he will inevitably face Utopia’s hidden cards. Rather than being caught off guard by them later, why not force them to reveal their hand here on this land, which does not belong to Daxia Country—why? Organizations like Utopia demand lives when exposing their hidden cards! In Daxia, the deaths would be Daxia’s people, but in Durta, the deaths would not be Daxia’s people!

Forcing out the opponent’s hidden card is the key reason Lin Xiaosu risked staying in Durta to undertake such monumental tasks.

Shocking God was one of their hidden cards.

But certainly not the only one!

What other hidden cards are there?

Very soon, they will be exposed.

Because once Lin Xiaosu’s strategy is activated, it will undoubtedly continue seamlessly, chaining together...

His face changed once again!

Became General Ge Piao.

He was already wearing the General’s Uniform, hand reached into Secret Realm Space to retrieve the General’s Hat, put it on!

Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, grabbed Shocking God’s corpse, and with several leaps, ascended from the cliff’s bottom.

General Ge Piao himself was the top warrior in the Menghu Army.

Though he hadn’t shown much before, it was widely known, he climbed over the cliff, a group of generals gathered their eyes on his hand, eyes suddenly rounded.

In his hand, the person had peculiar skin, hair alternating silver and black, could it be...

"This person is the Divine Temple’s Nirvana War God Shocking God, attempted assassination, and this General counter-killed him!" Lin Xiaosu’s hand lifted, Shocking God’s corpse was thrown before the generals.

The generals were collectively shocked...

"Able to kill the Nirvana War God, mighty General..."

"Heavenly God! The General is truly a Heavenly God!"

"All Nirvana War Gods can be slain, Menghu Army, no one can rival!"

For a moment, excited shouts shook the heavens and earth.

Yet only one general’s face turned white, staring dazedly at Shocking God’s corpse, his lips trembling.

He was none other than the Menghu Army’s third-in-command, Colonel Lei Sen.

Lin Xiaosu’s gaze fell on his face: "Lei Sen, you’ve been exposed!"

Lei Sen shuddered all over, suddenly looking up.

The entire crowd of generals instantly fell silent.

Lin Xiaosu said, "Shocking God has already confessed. His purpose on this trip was to kill me, the General, and Colonel Tore. Tore has already been killed by him. If I, the General, were also to fall into his hands, you, Lei Sen, would become the head of the Menghu Army, leading the entire Menghu Army to become a dog of the Divine Temple!"

Lei Sen’s mind was blown, completely blank.

This was their secret plan.

As long as the General died, the plan would succeed.

However, the General did not die. Instead, he killed Shocking God, and the plan had already failed.

Even worse, Shocking God unexpectedly confessed...

It’s all over!

Everything is over!

Lin Xiaosu lifted his foot, Lei Sen’s legs both broke, and he flew far away.

In his ear came Lin Xiaosu’s cold command: "Take him away, interrogate him overnight, and extract everyone involved with him!"

An overnight interrogation.

The military was in uproar.

Lei Sen could not withstand the various tortures of the Menghu Army and confessed.

Besides him, there were eleven other officers of the rank of major and above penetrated by the Divine Temple!

The news reached the General Mansion, Lin Xiaosu slammed the table: "Execute them all by firing squad!"

Over ten gunshots rang out, representing the collapse of the Divine Temple’s arrangement within the Menghu Army.

Generals everywhere were fired up once more...

The Divine Temple dared to lay such an extensive network within the Menghu Army, with ambitious wolfish intentions, they must be punished!

The Divine Temple had already suffered an overwhelming disaster, and all were wounded beasts caught in a trap. If you don’t eradicate the root, future consequences will ensue...

All these factors formed a consensus among the leadership: strike while the iron is hot and annihilate the Divine Temple!

Lin Xiaosu responded to the military’s sentiment and made a decision: "Tomorrow morning, the army will set out to annihilate the Divine Temple!"

The generals left the mansion to prepare.

Lin Xiaosu walked over the shattered glass on the ground and came to the edge of the cliff.

Staring at the distant location of the Divine Temple, his inner feelings surged.

The greatest taboo against an enemy is complacency.

Facing the enemy requires seeing things from their perspective.

Standing in the position of the Divine Temple, the Menghu Army launches missiles to scorch their temple, killing countless of their people. What are their possible response strategies?

The first strategy must be to eliminate General Ge Piao and seize control of the Menghu army flag.

This strategy has now been ruined as well.

Within the Menghu Army, a thorough purge of the Divine Temple’s infiltration has been completed.

In a short time, the Divine Temple cannot possibly control the Menghu army flag.

Nor does Menghu give them another chance to infiltrate, directly initiating a deadly battle...

Under these circumstances.

No matter what trump card the Divine Temple has, it must be shown!

I’m going to see what your trump card really is!

This is his goal!

In the Divine Temple, they received this bad news late at night.

The Nirvana War God of the Divine Temple, undefeatable and victorious—Shocking God, was dead!

The key figure within the Menghu Army, Lei Sen, was dead!

The eleven officers of rank major and above recruited by Lei Sen were wiped out completely!

Thirteen corpses were tied to military vehicles, the army had already been assembled. The next morning was the final battle to annihilate the Divine Temple.

Upon receiving this news.

The Seventh Elders were all stunned...

The Left Envoy, who calculated all the strategies, suddenly opened his eyes wide, then slowly closed them again...

Shocking God’s death represented the complete failure of their beheading operation.

The deaths of Lei Sen and his eleven underlings represented the total failure of the Divine Temple’s infiltration strategy into the Menghu Army.

Thirteen corpses tied to military vehicles represented the greatest insult of the Menghu Army to the Divine Temple.

With the army pressing down overnight, the Divine Temple was at the brink of life and death in a moment!

"Left Envoy!" The Great Elder breathed a long sigh. "What should we do next?"

Although the strategy to send Shocking God was entirely promoted by the Left Envoy, and Shocking God’s failure was a heavy loss, theoretically it was the Left Envoy’s fault, but no one mentioned his "failure" because until now, everyone still believed his plan itself was not wrong. Who could have expected Shocking God to also die?

As long as it wasn’t the failure of the plan itself, it wasn’t the Left Envoy’s failure of duty.

The Left Envoy slowly opened his eyes: "The Great Elder already has an answer, why ask me?"

"This matter is of great importance. I... I want to seek everyone’s opinion!" The Great Elder said.

The Left Envoy sighed softly: "Given the current situation, we have no other choice. Even if the timing is not mature, we have to show our trump card... Please old Di!"

The Great Elder’s gaze slowly lifted: "Please old Di!"

An elder on the left side lightly raised a finger, pointing at the button in the basement.

A pair of ancient bronze gates slowly parted...

A flute sound came from the deepest part of the cave, playing "Death Overture."

The music emerged from the cave, out of the basement, and entered under the starlight...

The mournful and sad music, the empty flute, crossed over the ruins of the Divine Temple, and over the desolate valley ahead.

It was as if it was playing a farewell song for the unfortunate Li Tian Clan members who died tragically.

Also as if it was the opening overture on this land drawing the curtain on death.

The next morning...

Hundreds of Menghu Army’s military vehicles started up, crossing the defense line, traversing the canyon, across the plains, and storming into the location of the Divine Temple.

The front was completely barren, seemingly empty of people.

But suddenly, a flute sound came!

On the front most military vehicle, Colonel Genaf raised his gaze, fixating on a silhouette drifting out in the morning fog, and his heart skipped a beat.

Is this human or ghost?

A skeleton-thin old man, holding a short flute, was walking on grass, as if floating along with the wind.

"Open fire!"
