The Dragon's Magic Code

Chapter 18 Power of the Genuine Qi Artifact

Lin Yan's face was cold as he walked to Lin Qiaoer and stopped in front of her.

He loomed over her sprawled body. When he saw the monstrous-looking figure before him, he had a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

In the past, he had loved her.

Later on, she ruthlessly dragged him down from heaven to hell.

Right then, Lin Yan only possessed an endless hatred for her.

He put his hand gently on top of her head as if he wanted to do something. However, a roar suddenly came from below the platform.

"Lin Yan! If you dare to attack Lin Qiaoer, I will ruin you forever! I will make you suffer a fate even worse than death!"

Looking towards the source of the voice, he saw Lin Tianyou. His eyes were red as he stormed over to the platform. From the looks of it, he looked like he wanted to rush forward to stop Lin Yan.

However, the grayish-black metal-wood barrier separated them.

Lin Yan stopped and looked at him coldly.

In an icy tone, he said, "Did you say you'll ruin me forever? Hah, that's funny!"

Lin Yan continued, "Wasn't I already meant to be ruined forever back then? Was the pain I suffered what I deserved?"

"The reason why I'm standing here on this platform is for this very moment!" Lin Yan sneered.

"The next one will be you!"

He became increasingly worked up, and the blood in his body boiled.

A searing heat surged within Lin Yan's body. Even without a clear view of the scene, everyone could hear the earsplitting cry of a dragon.

Roar!

A virtual shadow the size of an adult appeared behind Lin Yan.

The shadow was hazy, but the enormous mouth that resembled an abyss was too hard to miss.

Every single one of the fangs in the mouth emitted a chilling cold light, making people shudder. The mouth full of sharp fangs slowly opened and gradually leaned towards Lin Qiaoer.

Everyone was dumbfounded at the sight.

The spectators around the First Platform suddenly fell into a dead silence, too shocked for words.

Even Huang Suqiu couldn't help but gape slightly, and her expression was full of horror.

That mouth suddenly tore the dark green light off Lin Qiaoer's body and swallowed it in large mouthfuls.

It was as barbaric and primitive as a wild beast eating, a completely animalistic scene.

"High-grade Spiritual Body!"

Anxious, Luo Donghe jumped up from the chair. His neck was already swelling with boiling blood, and his eyes darkened in rage.

"Lin Yan has awakened a High-grade Spiritual Body! I wonder what kind of Spiritual Body he is and what use it has."

"No wonder Lin Yan's strength has recovered so quickly. It's because he's awakened a High-grade Spiritual Body!"

Everyone was discussing amongst themselves.

In the end, the mouth removed a finger-sized cyan snake from Lin Qiaoer's body and swallowed it.

After it finished, it did not forget to lick its lips as if it still wanted to eat.

At that moment, Lin Qiaoer showed a pained expression, and she couldn't help but tremble as she let out a shrill cry.

"Argh! No! No!"

"Yan, I'm sorry. Please spare me! I won't do this again. I can return to your side."

"We'll treat everything in the past as if it had never happened. I can be your pretty girl and you will be my genius lover!"

She hugged Lin Yan's thigh. Tears rolled down her face as her nose dripped with snot and blood. She looked ugly and miserable.

"Back to the start? Do you think I'll let you scheme against me again? Hmph! Let's put an end to our past today."

"A sly b*tch like you does not deserve to live in this world!"

When the small green snake was snatched away by him, Lin Qiaoer's eyes turned white as she fainted and went into shock.

The nerves and flesh in her brain began to melt, turning into a mushy mass.

Once she wakes up, Lin Qiaoer would become a fool forever.

A fool who couldn't think, much less cultivate.

Lin Tianyou's face was ashen as he stood below the arena. His expression began to twitch as he cursed inside his heart before yelling at Lin Yan.

"Good job in angering me! Since you've destroyed Lin Qiaoer's intelligence, I will make you lose the one you love most!"

Then, he took out a plain white handkerchief embroidered with green bamboo.

Lin Yan could tell at a glance that it was the handkerchief that Zhu Xiang carried around with her. No wonder he had never seen her ever since he had left the Dragon-Devouring Prison.

His blood boiled, while his bones could not help but crackle as he released a murderous intent.

"If you dare to touch a hair on Zhu Xiang's head, I'll bury the whole Lin Family with you!"

Lin Tianyou was indifferent while facing Lin Yan, whose face was twitching in anger. Instead, he began to laugh mockingly.

The angrier Lin Yan became, the more excited he was.

"Haha, the entire Lin Family? That's big talk!"

"Forget about Zhu Xiang's inevitable death today. Even you will not be able to leave this arena alive!"

"I will kill you on this platform for good today. I'll let the whole Lin Family, and even the whole Sun County, know that the Lin Family only has one heir!"

In the face of such a depressing atmosphere, the people around him did not dare to speak nonsense.

After all, whoever won in the end would be someone they could not afford to offend.

On top of the city gate, Luo Donghe smiled. He slowly stood up and began speaking to the person in charge, who was below.

"Since there is a personal grudge between them, I will show my mercy and let them resolve it first."

"Secretary Qiu, announce that they shall fight!"

When the judge of the First Platform heard this, he had no choice but to follow his orders even though he didn't want to.

He immediately removed the metal-wood barrier, allowing Lin Tianyou to enter before closing the barrier.

With the frightening strength that Lin Yan had displayed earlier, it was likely that the surrounding audience would suffer if he did not put up the metal-wood barrier.

What a passionate man Lin Tianyou was, fighting Lin Yan to the death over Lin Qiaoer.

However, Lin Yan was aware of the real reason Lin Tianyou was only acting furious and tragic. It was not over Lin Qiaoer.

His real purpose was to kill Lin Yan to make sure that no one else in the world practiced the Heavenly Sword Finger Technique.

As for why... he had no idea.

Lin Tianyou, who had stepped onto the stage, no longer had his earlier crazed expression. He was filled with confidence in the face of the strength that Lin Yan had displayed earlier.

A sneer formed at the corner of his mouth and his eyes became cold.

He snorted, "Lin Yan, on account of our connection back then, I will let Zhu Xiang go if you kill yourself."

"Otherwise, after I kill you on the spot, Zhu Xiang will die with you!"

Lin Tianyou would kill him on the spot? Zhu Xiang would die with him?

Lin Yan involuntarily laughed out loud.

Lin Tianyou's cultivation was at the Eight Stage of Body Tempering. Did Lin Tianyou think he did not know how strong he was?

He would only need three moves to tear Lin Tianyou apart.

He pulled out his sword and pointed it at Lin Tianyou, then coldly and heartlessly asked him a question.

"You've cornered me so many times to prevent me from cultivating the Heavenly Sword Finger Technique. What exactly is hidden in it?"

Lin Tianyou's expression froze, he furrowed his brows.

Then he gathered himself and scoffed, "So, you've found out?"

"I guess you'll only know when you ask the God of Hell himself!"

Lin Tianyou suddenly drew his sword and swung his hand. With a tap of his toes, he charged forward.

Clang!

The two swords collided.

Pierce, strike, twist, slash...

Both of them used the basic moves of the Heavenly Sword Finger Technique. In just a moment, light and dark were interwoven, and sparks flew everywhere.

One strike, two, then three...

In the span of ten moves, they were almost at a draw. Neither of them could defeat the other.

Lin Tianyou's eyes rolled as the sword in his hand flashed across the air and made a fierce strike.

"Art of Sword-Drawing!"

With a whoosh, the blade shot over.

Lin Yan frowned and cried out explosively as well.

"Art of Sword-Drawing!"

Compared to Lin Tianyou's Art of Sword-Drawing, Lin Yan possessed a deeper understanding of the foundations.

The dazzling cold light contained endless ways of killing his opponent.

The two swords collided with each other, but Lin Tianyou's sword was suddenly knocked away like a piece of tofu. It disintegrated into fragments and scattered into the air.

The rest of the power hit Lin Tianyou's body, and his clothes were torn apart, revealing the armor hidden underneath.

The whole armor was emitting a dark-blue glow. Having been hit by Lin Yan's strike, it did not instantly break apart. Instead, it only left behind a faint white shadow of a crack.

Such a scene caused Lin Yan to tremble in fear. He involuntarily cried out, "A Genuine Qi Artifact!"

The smile on Lin Tianyou's face grew even wider when the Genuine Qi Artifact was revealed. He couldn't help laughing with his hands around his waist.

"Hahaha! Lin Yan, I'm wearing a Genuine Qi Artifact. What can you do to me now?"

"Unless you have the strength to kill a practitioner at the First Stage of the Founding Realm, you will not be able to escape death today."

"Die! Only when you die can you play the most important role."

He was so arrogant then, the remaining fear in his heart disappeared, consuming his sanity.

Genuine Qi Artifacts were weapons made by artifact craftsmen by engraving runes on them to increase their power.

Once the rune was carved, the weapon's power would increase tenfold or even a hundredfold. It would become a true divine weapon.

Rumor had it that some extremely powerful Genuine Qi Artifacts could even defy the laws of physics.

Even defensive artifacts, which were considered the lowest of grades, could not be broken by someone at the Body Tempering stage.

From a certain perspective, Lin Tianyou was invincible.

Lin Yan's expression immediately became much uglier. He looked at the grayish-black Genuine Qi Artifact and was a little absent-minded.

"Art of Sword-Drawing!" He exclaimed.

He did not believe in things like that. He once again leaped up and ceased to hide his strength.

A solitary swan soared into the sky as blades shot outwards fiercely. The surrounding metal-iron barrier suddenly began to shake violently.

Bang!

Lin Tianyou didn't even bother to dodge, allowing the sword to land on his body.

As he took eight steps back, his face changed slightly. He suddenly became a little nervous.

However, there was no damage done to his body. It was just that the luster of the Genuine Qi Artifact was slightly dimmer than before.
