Chapter 364: Chapter 295: Saving People

Since completing the Corpse Dissection Ascension Ceremony, Lin Xing experienced significant changes.

His physical body had completely transformed into a corpse—his head, heart, blood, organs, and nerves... all lifeless, turning into a mass of flesh that he could refine and manipulate at will.

His Primordial Spirit, however, had been refined during the ceremony to remove its yin qualities, becoming the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit and gaining more powerful casting abilities.

As reflected in his sensory perception, his condition was...

Strength: 0 elder

Speed: 0 elder

Stamina: 0 elder

Spiritual Thought: 32.5+1.1 elder

Celestial Qi: 1.3

The strength of his physical body had completely vanished into nothingness.

His spiritual thoughts had greatly increased, along with the range of his spiritual perception, the mobility of his Primordial Spirit, and his resistance to various spells... all had seen a leaps-and-bounds improvement.

In terms of skills, all pure Martial Arts skills were no longer effective, while spell-based skills like talismans had greatly increased in power.

The scenes originally merged with his physical body had now integrated into his Primordial Spirit. With the operation of the Primordial Spirit, the power of the Heavenly Divine Light Sword had also seen a revolutionary enhancement.

The Celestial Qi that had previously resided within his sea of consciousness now also flowed within his Primordial Spirit.

Thus, after the ceremony, with all these metamorphic changes, Lin Xing was then able to, in a thought, churn up gigantic waves; with a single thought, he could reconstitute flesh, and with a slight concentration, he could reflect every plant and tree within thousands of kilometers in his spiritual perception.

After the transformation of Corpse Dissection, although he could no longer see with his eyes or fight with his hands, he possessed power to transform the world far more than ever before, a spiritual perception sharper than anyone’s eyes.

Right now, for instance, in the skies above this coastal city.

Cries of alarm, screams of horror, roars of anger... all resounded, piercing the skies.

Along with the swift collapse of buildings, numerous people wore expressions of despair, soon to face the end of their lives.

The expressions on the faces of these people, their movements, those crazed, despairing, chaotic appearances, all were vividly reflected in Lin Xing’s spiritual perception.

Numerous human tragedies mirrored in his heart.

Yet Lin Xing’s face showed no trace of joy or sorrow.

Merely as his thoughts stirred, hundreds of Sword Intents began to rise above the people.

One could see a housewife, who had just been screaming, suddenly burst forth with a blade of sword light.

The sword light gently swept up, carrying the woman and her family members out of the disintegrating building.

Wherever the sword light passed, layers of steel and concrete were cleanly sliced through, as if it were cutting through blocks of tofu.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of sword lights had rescued not only those inside the building but even the people on the streets.

As the collapsing building raised a sky-high plume of dust, thousands of people were brought to the safety of the streets by the sword lights, staring in shock at this miraculous scene.

Xingxiao swept the expansive dust in the sky away with a palm strike, followed by a burst of hearty laughter, the three beast heads behind him also laughing wildly.

"Lin Xing, you are too weak," he said.

In the meantime, several buildings collapsed slowly with his punches thrown from a distance.

"It’s because of this weakness that you have never been able to withstand the power of time reversal."

The people inside and outside the building were enveloped by the sword lights, sent flying out of the steel and concrete toward the ground.

"Those who accomplish great deeds care not for small details, yet you have spun in these trifles all your life..."

Then all four of Xingxiao’s heads let out a simultaneous shout, his body suddenly bursting with a dazzling starlight.

"If I were to do this..."

With a thunderous boom, as Xingxiao’s seven palms fiercely grabbed through the air.

"Uproot the mountains! Go!"

In the booming sound, like an earthquake shaking the mountains, seven large buildings lifted from the ground like seven enormous peaks, fiercely smashing toward Lin Xing.

Watching as Lin Xing was gradually covered by the shadow, Xingxiao’s face displayed a trace of a cold smile, "What will you do now?"

Yet, beneath the overwhelming pressure of Mount Tai, streaks of afterimages suddenly soared into the sky, violently colliding with the buildings.

With booming sounds, the afterimages directly pierced through the buildings, creating gaping holes.

These afterimages were exactly those people Lin Xing had just saved.

Just moments ago, these very vulnerable people, who had nearly perished, now seemed like indestructible, hugely strong Martial Arts Masters, crashing into the buildings and rescuing all the people inside.

Watching this scene, Xingxiao was slightly startled: "These people... have they all been refined by him?"

"How did Lin Xing refine these people when his Six Secret Immortal Refining can only refine non-living things, and even his own body has turned into a corpse?"

Xingxiao sensed the condition of each person, pausing in his thoughts: "Are they dead?"

In his perception, all the people had lost even a hint of vitality, and the once robust citizens had clearly turned into corpses.

Once again saving everyone, Lin Xing revealed a faint smile, saying softly, "Xingxiao, only the weak care about the things you mentioned."

"Because they are too weak, they need to focus their limited strength on what they want to do, and because their strength is so limited, they must avoid all unnecessary losses."

As Lin Xing spoke, the people rescued from those seven buildings also underwent a drastic change in their aura.

The expressions of either panic or joy completely disappeared from their faces.

They looked towards Xingxiao with cold, emotionless faces, like rows of merciless weapons.

In the sky, Lin Xing continued, "Who can’t be distracted during a fight? Who says you can’t save people during a fight?"

Lin Xing then formed a Taoist Formula with his hands, turning into runes that represented the power of the Six Secret Runes.

"That just means you are a weakling without sufficient strength."

"You’re restrained by those senseless rules."

"The truly ’strong’ can do whatever they please in a fight."

From Lin Xing’s loud shout, the thousands of people on the scene began to burst forth, charging towards Xingxiao in the sky.

Seeing the afterimages, Xingxiao deployed seven arms at once, sending out waves of Gang Qi tinged with starlight which knocked the afterimages away one after another.

But those bodies, which should have been incredibly fragile before Xingxiao, now resembled fierce Divine Weapons, clashing against Xingxiao’s attacks and producing metallic clangs.

A vein on Xingxiao’s forehead popped as he listened to Lin Xing, watching the endless array of bodies before him, and he roared, "Lin Xing, do you call this saving people? These people have already been killed by you, all dead by your hand."

As he spoke, Xingxiao’s attacks grew more ferocious, and finally, with a punch, several figures had their chests completely shattered, bursting into a cloud of blood mist, as dead as could be.

Yet Lin Xing merely smiled faintly, and numerous Six Secret Runes flashed by, and in a blink, the shattered bodies reassembled into complete human forms.

Lin Xing said, "Although their flesh is dead, their brains are still very much alive, just temporarily separated from the control of the body."

"As long as I am here, they are immortal."

"You can try to see how many you can kill in front of me."

"Damn it... you mad dog," Xingxiao cursed, shouting, "Then let’s see if you save them faster than I can kill them!"

He then heard a roaring behind him, and Xingxiao’s muscles swelled, as he launched seven arms at once, each moving like phantoms.

The surging Gang Qi poured out, emitting blinding starlight filled with countless inscrutable intentions, causing a storm of fierce winds, torrential rain, and lightning.

The entire city faced a storm powerful enough to obliterate everything, with several buildings collapsing under Xingxiao’s attacks.

Lin Xing’s rescued people were particularly targeted by Xingxiao.

Bursts of blood mist occasionally exploded within the crowd, but under Lin Xing’s Spiritual Manipulation, they fearlessly charged towards Xingxiao.

Even as the battle continued to expand, affecting more people and resulting in even more being saved by Lin Xing, they gradually transformed into a dense arc of blood across the sky, brandishing Sword Intent that sliced at Xingxiao time and again.

If one looked carefully at this blood light, one could see countless twisting bodies, trembling organs, and rows of brains at the core.

Mixed within this crimson light was also a streak of black lightning periodically tracing graceful trajectories, piercing through Xingxiao’s Gang Qi, forcing Xingxiao to continually change his shape; this was Bai Yiyi transformed into the black sword.

At first, the media tried to report on the duel, and pedestrians attempted to film the combatants.

But as the battlefield kept shifting, more and more... almost every civilian that Xingxiao threatened ended up protected by Lin Xing.

Wherever the battle raged seemed to turn into stretches of deserted land, devoid of any trace of living beings.

Elsewhere in the city, the streets were long clogged with countless cars.

Many citizens began fleeing in every direction, eager to escape this city turned battlefield.

In just a few hours of fierce fighting, vast stretches of the street had turned into rubble.

Countless bodies were integrated into the sky-filled blood light, which bathed the land’s ruins in a vivid red.

Under this illumination of blood light, Lin Xing floated above the city’s ruins, a pensive expression on his face, "Xingxiao, do you know I have spent my life playing the hero, always exploring how to save more people."

"Not until I completed the Corpse Dissection Ascension Ceremony did I realize that the death of the body is not the end but a new beginning."

"Once you understand this principle, many things become very easy..."

On the other side of the battlefield, Xingxiao, covered in blood, stood atop the ruins of a collapsed building.

At that moment, two of the three beast heads behind him had been severed, and only five of his seven arms remained.

Seeing that more and more were dying, Lin Xing’s increasingly malevolent and tumultuous blood light controlled by him, Xingxiao thought internally, "Damn it, this mad dog grows stronger the more he fights in the city; I must change locations quickly to fight him."

Runes emerged from Xingxiao’s body, swiftly healing his injuries.

And hearing Lin Xing, while waiting for his injuries to heal, Xingxiao asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Lin Xing spread his arms towards the sky, as if to embrace all the blood light, "As long as I kill them before someone else does, no one else can kill them."

"As long as people turn into destructive weapons themselves, they no longer need to worry about being destroyed by others."
