Chapter 409: Battling an Immortal Cultivator (I)
"Heh."Wu Yi slightly raised his brows and let out a soft chuckle. Though still young, he already understood that villains often died because they talked too much. Otherwise, he would never have been able to survive in the high-risk profession of being an undercover agent. If the Ink Jade Disk had not confirmed his estimation of Lin Zheyu's strength and verified that the opponent was only slightly stronger than a Grandmaster, Wu Yi would not even have revealed himself. He would have remained hidden in the shadows and launched a sneak attack instead.
Whoosh.
Wu Yi formed a hand seal with his right hand and waved lightly. A massive net suddenly appeared beneath Lin Zheyu's feet. The net rapidly contracted, binding toward Lin Zheyu with lightning speed before he could react. Indeed, even after confirming that the opponent's strength was far below his own, Wu Yi remained extremely cautious and had already laid a trap before revealing himself. This appearance served not only to satisfy his own mind but also had another purpose. It was meant to stall for time and trigger the trap he had set.
This is bad!
Lin Zheyu's heart jolted, and his expression changed instantly. He had already been extremely cautious, yet he had still fallen into the opponent's trap.
Whoosh.
Lin Zheyu no longer cared about concealment or disguise. True origin surged through his body as the Purple Thunder Demon-Slaying Saber slashed out fiercely. A gray haze of true origin clung to the blade, concealing the sharpness of its edge. Yet the Thunder true intent contained within the true origin unexpectedly activated the blade's characteristics, causing this incomplete dharma artifact to erupt with unprecedented sharpness. Dense arcs of lightning burst from the blade as the blade light cracked like thunder.
The blade struck the net, sparks bursting with a sizzling sound. Then, with a ripping tear, Lin Zheyu split open a huge gash. Several more slashes followed, and the great net was completely cut apart by him.
"How is that possible? This kid... this kid... Is this the energy cultivated by a Shamanic cultivator? No. Shamanic cultivators only temper their physique. Their world-destroying power is contained entirely within their bodies. They do not use spirit power... There must be other secrets on him!"
In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Wu Yi's mind. Not only was he not shocked, but he was delighted instead, and a greedy light shone in his eyes. As a member of the Directorate of Celestial Observation, Wu Yi knew the Hidden Dragon List extremely well. The so-called opportunity secret realm was merely a heritage land of the Shamanic Clan. Only martial artists who had entered the Hidden Dragon List were qualified to enter that heritage land.
Shamanic cultivators did not care about cultivation talent. They valued only physical potential and spiritual will, which bore striking similarities to martial cultivation geniuses. Every year, a group of geniuses from the Hidden Dragon List were selected to enter the heritage land. Yet after so many years, only a handful had successfully inherited anything, and what they obtained were merely incomplete, ordinary techniques.
